Illeism:The ancient trick to help you think more wisely
As a writer specialising in psychology, I've come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism.
Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person, rather than the first person. The rhetorical device is often used by politicians to try to give their words an air of objectivity. In his account of the Gallic War,for example, the emperor Julius Caesar wrote "Caesar avenged the public" rather than "I avenged the public".
To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or pompous.Yet recent psychological research suggests that illeism can bring some real cognitive benefits. If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to neutralise the emotions that could lead our thinking astray, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.
When making personal choices, we become too immersed in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If I have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, my feeling of embarrassment might lead me to become overly self-defensive. I might therefore dismiss their opinions without considering whether their advice could be helpful in the long-term.
By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. This sense of detachment would allow us to see the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in our own feelings. By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses.

第三人称叙述法:帮助你更明智地思考的古老技巧
作为一名专攻心理学的作家,我接触过上百种提高思维能力的实证技巧。但对我来说,很少有策略能像古老的“第三人称叙述法”(illeism)一样有用。
简单来说,“illeism”就是用第三人称而不是第一人称来谈论自己。政治家为了给自己的话语增添一种客观的感觉,经常使用这种修辞手法。例如,凯撒大帝(Julius Caesar)在叙述高卢战争(Gallic War)时,写的是“凯撒为公众报了仇”,而不是“我为公众报了仇”。
在现代人听来,用第三人称来谈论自己可能有些愚蠢或者自负。然而,最近的心理学研究表明,这种方式能给人带来一些认知方面的切实好处。如果我们在做某个决定时十分艰难,那么用第三人称谈论自己,就可以中和那些可能导致我们误入歧途的情绪,从而让我们找到解决问题更明智的办法。
在做个人选择时,我们往往会过于沉浸在自己的情绪当中,这会妨碍我们思考,使我们无法更全面地看清问题。比方说,如果我收到了一个同事的负面反馈,这种尴尬感就可能导致我过度自我防卫。因此,我可能会无视他们的意见,而不去考虑这些建议从长远来看是否对自己有帮助。
切换成第三人称后,我们对情况的描述听起来就像是在谈论别人,而不再是我们自己。这种疏离感能够让我们“格局打开”,而不是陷在自己的感受当中。通过鼓励自己用全局视角看问题,使用“第三人称叙述法”也可以帮助我们更加冷静平和地应对日常压力。

(2024·重庆·模拟预测)At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy,” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
4.What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A.It receives a cold welcome. B.It aims to form a bond.
C.It focuses on technologies. D.It has a positive impact.
5.What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A.The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B.The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C.The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D.The overall ability to handle online information.
6.What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A.To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B.To take the lead in the world.
C.To reach a wider range of students. D.To make a substantial profit.
7.What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A.Welcoming. B.Unclear. C.Opposed. D.Prejudiced.

(2024·辽宁·模拟预测)What is a barrier? It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
8.What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers?
A.Your specific goals. B.Your own attitude.
C.Your diverse preparations. D.Your strong will power.
9.Which of the following is true about barriers?
A.They bring you positive emotions.
B.They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C.They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D.They enable you to view things in a different way.
10.What does the underlined word “approach” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.To cope with. B.To go over.
C.To come near to sb. D.To speak to sb about sth.
11.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Life is always throwing us barriers. B.Barriers are double-edged swords.
C.Embracing barriers benefits a lot. D.Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.

(2024·重庆·模拟预测)Charles Darwin found inspiration for his theory of evolution in birds' beaks, giant tortoise shells — and language. “The survival or preservation of certain favored words in the struggle for existence is natural selection, he wrote in The Descent of Man in 1871.
Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little wrestles with the forces of human cognitive (selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that.
The scientists carried out two experiments and the results combine to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age such as “hand” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words linger better than abstract ones: “dog” lasts longer than “animal,” which lasts longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to last.
Early language-evolution models assumed that language becomes increasingly complex over time. But this new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand.
Still, as the study notes, “the English language is not baby talk.” One researcher explains: “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” New words that address the complexity of modem life may somewhat balance out this shift.
The proposed trend toward “simpler” language is controversial. Columbia University linguist John MeWhorter more or less agrees with the study's results about evolutionary advantages within language. He questions, however, implications regarding the overall efficiency of English — a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical traces.
Study lead author Ying Li, a psychologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a non-native English speaker, notes that English had even more puzzling grammar in the past. MeWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago.”
12.What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.The origin of certain favored words B.The social influence on language formation.
C.The cognitive control over language evolution. D.The environmental factor in language decline.
13.Which group may last longest according to the “evolutionary advantage”?
A.Mother; cup; happy. B.Hope; trend; realism.
C.Metal; plastic; virus. D.Tax; smog; anxious.
14.Which statement is consistent with the findings of the new study?
A.It gets harder to communicate in English.
B.New words tend to be shorter and simpler.
C.The complexity of English has been totally lost.
D.The efficiency of English improves as it evolves.
15.How does Ying Li respond to John MeWhorter's questioning?
A.Li provides extra data. B.Li makes an assumption.
C.Li consults a historical authority. D.Li suggests a solution.

(2024·四川成都·模拟预测)In order to better survive in the world filled with challenges, we ourselves need to be wise. 16 Let me tell you this. Wisdom provides us with perspectives and calms us down in terrible situations. Here are some effective strategies that we can use to get wiser.
17 This will open up new pathways for us. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinion or which is the most comfortable for you. Instead, train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. If you are humble enough, you will always get to experience something new.
Meanwhile, you’re supposed to be the kind of person who learns something new every day. Take new classes, read books and the list goes on and on. 18 All of these activities will help you to tackle problems from different angles, making everything easier.
What if you lack self-discipline or need timely guidance? Maybe the best way is to have wise people as your mentors (导师), like teachers, colleagues and even special friends. Prior to making them a mentor, find out what makes them wiser, and then engage in useful dialogue with them. 19
If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, then why not share it with others too? 20 In today’s world, it is very easy to become wise but it isn’t easy to help others. So keep things balanced and never let go of your passions and values. This will pave the path to success.
A.Why is wisdom crucial in this modern world?
B.Change your routine and see where life takes you.
C.Therefore, you can ask them to supervise you or imitate their mindset.
D.Try surfing the Internet and clear out your problems that confuse you.
E.Sometimes we can benefit a lot from being open to diverse perspectives.
F.By spending more time with them, there will be more transfer of knowledge to you.
G.Communicating with others and helping them out will also increase your wisdom.

(2024·四川成都·模拟预测)Spanish class scared me in the freshman year. I knew little Spanish before starting the class, and I thought it would be 21 for me. However, Mary, our honored Spanish teacher, who was full of creativity, made her class fun from the beginning. I knew what to expect with a schedule for each week, but there was always some slight 22 .
Before the exam, Mary often asked us to 23 our lessons by ourselves. But I could remember one day she said, “This time, let’s play a game before going over what you’ve learned.” The game was so interesting that we all 24 ourselves. After the exam, Mary gave us opportunities to make up for our 25 . After each error correction, she would check again. She took things so 26 that she wouldn’t overlook any detail. No wonder she was 27 by us.
Mary was 28 and willing to help, within reason, on everything. We could ask her questions at any time. She encouraged everyone to speak Spanish in class. Because of that, I was 29 enough, and then I could communicate with Spanish speakers outside of class. When she knew our problems, she would give advice. When someone was struggling, she would 30 .
Mary’s 31 teaching eventually transformed my 32 into fascination. She infused (灌输) foreign culture into lessons, using music and dance to 33 our language skills.

(2024·北京·高考真题)When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
1.How did the author feel about the result of the art exam?
A.Scared. B.Worried. C.Discouraged. D.Wronged.
2.In her 30s, the author _________.
A.avoided oil painting practice B.sought for a painting career
C.fancied abstract painting D.exhibited child paintings
3.Which word would best describe the author’s dream?

C.Disturbing. D.Entertaining.
4.What can we learn from this passage?

(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷C篇·高考真题)Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies — say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
5.What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Seem unlikely to last. B.Seem hard to explain.
C.Become ready to use. D.Become easy to notice.
6.What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A.Readers treat digital texts lightly. B.Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C.People select digital texts randomly. D.Digital texts are suitable for social media.
7.Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A.They can hold students' attention. B.They are more convenient to prepare.
C.They help develop advanced skills. D.They are more informative than text.
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B.Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C.Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D.Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.

(2024·浙江·高考真题)In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 9 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 10
We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 11 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going.
The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 12 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.
13 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts.
A.But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines.
B.Your motivation should be your main concern.
C.Do you know that online courses are also part of your education?
D.Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online.
E.The chief complain t about online courses is that they lack human interaction.
F.If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade?
G.A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses.

(2024·山东·二模)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora? You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.

【材料来源:BBC Apr. 15, 2023】
Illeism:The ancient trick to help you think more wisely
As a writer specialising in psychology, I've come across hundreds of evidence-based tips for better thinking. Few have proven as useful to me as the ancient strategy of illeism.
Put simply, illeism is the practice of talking about oneself in the third person, rather than the first person. The rhetorical device is often used by politicians to try to give their words an air of objectivity. In his account of the Gallic War,for example, the emperor Julius Caesar wrote "Caesar avenged the public" rather than "I avenged the public".
To the modern ear, illeism can sound a little silly or pompous.Yet recent psychological research suggests that illeism can bring some real cognitive benefits. If we are trying to make a difficult decision, speaking about ourselves in the third person can help to neutralise the emotions that could lead our thinking astray, allowing us to find a wiser solution to our problem.
When making personal choices, we become too immersed in our emotions, which cloud our thinking and prevent us from putting our issues in perspective. If I have received negative feedback from a colleague, for example, my feeling of embarrassment might lead me to become overly self-defensive. I might therefore dismiss their opinions without considering whether their advice could be helpful in the long-term.
By switching to the third person, our descriptions of the situation will start to sound as if we are talking about someone else rather than ourselves. This sense of detachment would allow us to see the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in our own feelings. By encouraging us to put our problems in perspective, the use of illeism may also help us to have a more balanced response to daily stresses.
【译文欣赏】
第三人称叙述法:帮助你更明智地思考的古老技巧
作为一名专攻心理学的作家,我接触过上百种提高思维能力的实证技巧。但对我来说,很少有策略能像古老的“第三人称叙述法”(illeism)一样有用。
简单来说,“illeism”就是用第三人称而不是第一人称来谈论自己。政治家为了给自己的话语增添一种客观的感觉,经常使用这种修辞手法。例如,凯撒大帝(Julius Caesar)在叙述高卢战争(Gallic War)时,写的是“凯撒为公众报了仇”,而不是“我为公众报了仇”。
在现代人听来,用第三人称来谈论自己可能有些愚蠢或者自负。然而,最近的心理学研究表明,这种方式能给人带来一些认知方面的切实好处。如果我们在做某个决定时十分艰难,那么用第三人称谈论自己,就可以中和那些可能导致我们误入歧途的情绪,从而让我们找到解决问题更明智的办法。
在做个人选择时,我们往往会过于沉浸在自己的情绪当中,这会妨碍我们思考,使我们无法更全面地看清问题。比方说,如果我收到了一个同事的负面反馈,这种尴尬感就可能导致我过度自我防卫。因此,我可能会无视他们的意见,而不去考虑这些建议从长远来看是否对自己有帮助。
切换成第三人称后,我们对情况的描述听起来就像是在谈论别人,而不再是我们自己。这种疏离感能够让我们“格局打开”,而不是陷在自己的感受当中。通过鼓励自己用全局视角看问题,使用“第三人称叙述法”也可以帮助我们更加冷静平和地应对日常压力。

(2024·重庆·模拟预测)At Countryside High School in Clearwater, Fla. , 16-year-old Sage Waite is already taking a class in cybersecurity, and she’d welcome one that’s in the works on cyber disinformation.
“For the longest time, I didn’t actually know what disinformation was,” said Waite, who’s in the 11th grade. “There was always the idea that things could be wrong in what you’re hearing and what you’re being told. But the idea of misinformation and disinformation wasn’t in my day-to-day.” This past year, she says, has been an eye-opener. “My friends and I definitely started looking into stuff more and doing more research after that,” she said.
A new program on “digital literacy,” with a focus on topics like disinformation, is in the pipeline, thanks in part to Mike McConnell, who is now working to fight false information aimed at young people. “We need to understand this so we can appreciate what's happening to us, and be able to not only understand it, but also to navigate through it,” McConnell said. “That’s what I call digital literacy.”
McConnell is executive director of Cyber Florida, which is based at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The group works with kids throughout the state at universities, high schools, and even those in younger grades. Cyber Florida helped set up the cybersecurity program now being taught at many Florida schools. The new project, Cyber Citizenship, is even more ambitious. “We think if we can do this for Florida, we can spread it across the nation,” he said.
The expanded program now in the works aims to make digital literacy something all Florida students get, at several grade levels, before they finish high school.
There’s no date yet for the cyber disinformation classes in Florida, but computer teacher Jason Felt says it can’t come soon enough and he is ready to embrace it.
“The Internet is a wonderful tool. It’s connected us in a way that’s never really been seen before. But it’s a blessing and it’s also a curse.”
Teaching students the difference, he says, is a huge challenge.
4.What can we learn about the class that Sage Waite is taking from the first two paragraphs?
A.It receives a cold welcome. B.It aims to form a bond.
C.It focuses on technologies. D.It has a positive impact.
5.What is digital literacy according to MeConnell?
A.The specific strategies for protecting privacy. B.The inborn capacity to track fake information.
C.The general skills of maintaining cybersecurity. D.The overall ability to handle online information.
6.What is the vision of Cyber Citizenship?
A.To outperform Cybersecuritiy. B.To take the lead in the world.
C.To reach a wider range of students. D.To make a substantial profit.
7.What is Jason Felt’s attitude towards the cyber disinformation classes?
A.Welcoming. B.Unclear. C.Opposed. D.Prejudiced.

(2024·辽宁·模拟预测)What is a barrier? It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past, or you’ re presently facing one, you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all, barriers give you motivations. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or, you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle, you’ll be fulfilling a purpose, rather than just going through the motions.
Also, barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us, such as frustration, anger, or sadness, it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers, more often than not, are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
8.What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers?
A.Your specific goals. B.Your own attitude.
C.Your diverse preparations. D.Your strong will power.
9.Which of the following is true about barriers?
A.They bring you positive emotions.
B.They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C.They are avoidable if you prepare for them well.
D.They enable you to view things in a different way.
10.What does the underlined word “approach” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.To cope with. B.To go over.
C.To come near to sb. D.To speak to sb about sth.
11.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Life is always throwing us barriers. B.Barriers are double-edged swords.

【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。主要论述了是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。
【详情解析】8.推理判断题。根据第一段中“While many people avoid barriers, deny their existence or let barriers control themselves, what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge, or remain stuck in it.”(当许多人回避障碍,否认它们的存在或让障碍控制自己时,你对障碍的立场将决定你是从挑战中崛起,还是陷入困境。)以及倒数第二段中“So, the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles, and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life, the better you’ll be at managing them.”(所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍,并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。你越能把障碍看作是你生活中的优势,你就越能更好地处理它们。)可推知,当面对障碍时,决定结果的因素是你自己的态度。故选B项。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段中“You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties, you’ re forced to re-think, and re-examine your path.”(你可能会遇到挫折或困难,你被迫重新思考,重新审视你的道路。)以及第三段中“Instead, they, in a way, give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way.”(相反,在某种程度上,它们会给你时间停下来思考是否有一条新的更好的道路可以走,以及你可以为沿途发生的事情做些什么准备。)可知,关于障碍,“它们能让你以不同的方式看待事物”这个陈述是正确的。故选D项。
10.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Life will never stop throwing you new barriers.”(生活永远不会停止给你设置新的障碍。)以及划线单词句中“and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement.”(并将它们转化为自我提升的机会。)由此可知,此处为:所以,最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍。故可此处划线单词approach为“处理”的意思,结合A选项中的To cope with“应付,处理”意思一致。故选A项。
11.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“It will be rewarding to accept barriers, which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations, thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.”(接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。)可知,文章主要讲的是什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的,这会让你不断改变和适应新的情况,从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是“拥抱障碍会带来很多好处”。故选C项。

(2024·重庆·模拟预测)Charles Darwin found inspiration for his theory of evolution in birds' beaks, giant tortoise shells — and language. “The survival or preservation of certain favored words in the struggle for existence is natural selection, he wrote in The Descent of Man in 1871.
Language gradually shifts over time. Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little wrestles with the forces of human cognitive (selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that.
The scientists carried out two experiments and the results combine to show three properties that give words an “evolutionary advantage” by helping them stick in the brain: First, words typically acquired at an early age such as “hand” or “today”) are stabler. Next, concrete words linger better than abstract ones: “dog” lasts longer than “animal,” which lasts longer than “organism.” Lastly, emotionally exciting words — whether negative or positive — tend to last.
Early language-evolution models assumed that language becomes increasingly complex over time. But this new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand.
Still, as the study notes, “the English language is not baby talk.” One researcher explains: “Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.” New words that address the complexity of modem life may somewhat balance out this shift.
The proposed trend toward “simpler” language is controversial. Columbia University linguist John MeWhorter more or less agrees with the study's results about evolutionary advantages within language. He questions, however, implications regarding the overall efficiency of English — a language he says contains things like “needlessly complex” grammatical traces.
Study lead author Ying Li, a psychologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a non-native English speaker, notes that English had even more puzzling grammar in the past. MeWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago.”
12.What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.The origin of certain favored words B.The social influence on language formation.
C.The cognitive control over language evolution. D.The environmental factor in language decline.
13.Which group may last longest according to the “evolutionary advantage”?
A.Mother; cup; happy. B.Hope; trend; realism.
C.Metal; plastic; virus. D.Tax; smog; anxious.
14.Which statement is consistent with the findings of the new study?
A.It gets harder to communicate in English.
B.New words tend to be shorter and simpler.
C.The complexity of English has been totally lost.
D.The efficiency of English improves as it evolves.
15.How does Ying Li respond to John MeWhorter's questioning?
A.Li provides extra data. B.Li makes an assumption.
C.Li consults a historical authority. D.Li suggests a solution.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项关于语言进化的研究。科学家通过实验发现,某些词汇在人类认知选择中具有“进化优势”,从而更容易被记住和使用。
【详情解析】12.词句猜测题。根据第二段“Much research examines how social and environmental factors influence language change, but very little wrestles with the forces of human cognitive (认知的) selection that fix certain words into the vocabulary. For an extensive new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, scientists investigated just that(许多研究都在探讨社会和环境因素如何影响语言变化,但很少有人深入研究人类认知选择的力量,这种力量将某些词汇固定在词汇表中。一项广泛的新研究发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上,科学家们正是对此进行了调查)”可知以前的研究是关于社会和环境对语言变化的影响,而这个研究填补的空白是人类认知对语言发展的作用力。所以第二段划线词指代的是人类认知对语言发展的作用力,故选C。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段“First, words typically acquired at an early age (such as ‘hand’ or ‘today’) are stabler. Next, concrete words linger better than abstract ones: ‘dog’ lasts longer than ‘animal,’ which lasts longer than ‘organism.’ Lastly, emotionally exciting words—whether negative or positive—tend to last.( 首先,通常在儿童早期习得的词汇(如“手”或“今天”)更为稳定。其次,具体的词汇比抽象的词汇更持久:“狗”的持续时间比“动物”长,而“动物”的持续时间又比“生物”长。最后,无论是消极还是积极的情感激动词,往往都会持续存在)”可知,生命早期较之后期习得的词汇,具体的词汇较之抽象的词汇,以及与情绪相关的词汇在人的头脑中持续得较久。综合比较而言A选项词汇Mother, cup, happy都属于生命早期习得的词汇,mother, cup是具体词汇,happy是情绪相关的词汇,所以A项词汇有可能持续时间最长,故选A。
14.细节理解题。根据第四段“But this new study supports a more recent theory that language ultimately gets more efficient and easier to understand. Still, as the study notes, ‘the English language is not baby talk’. One researcher explains: ‘Yes, we shift toward simple language, but then we also grab complex language that we need.’ New words that address the complexity of modern life may somewhat balance out this shift(但这项新研究支持了一个较新的理论,即语言最终会变得更加高效和易于理解。然而,正如研究指出的那样,“英语不是婴儿语言”。一位研究人员解释说:“是的,我们转向简单的语言,但随后我们也会使用我们需要的复杂语言。”用来描述现代生活复杂性的新词可能会在一定程度上平衡这种转变)”可知,英语总体变得越来越有效率和愈来愈简单,并非新词汇变得越来越短,也并没有完全失去复杂性。故选D。
15.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Study lead author Ying Li, a psychologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a non-native English speaker, notes that English had even more puzzling grammar in the past. MeWhorter, Li supposes, “would complain more if he traveled back 800 years ago(该研究的主要作者、中国科学院心理学家兼非英语母语者李颖指出,英语过去的语法甚至更令人困惑。李颖推测,如果梅沃特回到800年前,他“会抱怨得更多”。)”可知,李颖使用了一种假设的方法回应梅沃特的质疑,故选B。

(2024·北京·高考真题)When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
1.How did the author feel about the result of the art exam?
A.Scared. B.Worried. C.Discouraged. D.Wronged.
2.In her 30s, the author _________.
A.avoided oil painting practice B.sought for a painting career
C.fancied abstract painting D.exhibited child paintings
3.Which word would best describe the author’s dream?
A.Confusing. B.Empowering.
C.Disturbing. D.Entertaining.
4.What can we learn from this passage?
A.Actions speak louder than words. B.Hard work is the mother of success.

(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷C篇·高考真题)Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies — say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
5.What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Seem unlikely to last. B.Seem hard to explain.
C.Become ready to use. D.Become easy to notice.
6.What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A.Readers treat digital texts lightly. B.Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C.People select digital texts randomly. D.Digital texts are suitable for social media.
7.Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A.They can hold students' attention. B.They are more convenient to prepare.
C.They help develop advanced skills. D.They are more informative than text.
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B.Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C.Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D.Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
【答案速查】5.D 6.A 7.A 8.C
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。主要讨论了纸质阅读与数字阅读、音频和视频学习方式的差异和效果。
【详情解析】5.词句猜测题。根据前文“When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding.(当阅读几百字或更多的文本时,在纸上学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功。大量的研究证实了这一发现)”可知,在纸上学习更有成效,以及后文“when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text.(当实验人员从提出简单的任务(如识别阅读文章的主旨)转移到需要思维抽象的任务(如从文本中推断)时)”推知,此处应是表达“当实验者从简单的任务转向需要精神抽象的任务时,纸质阅读的益处就变得显而易见”之意,所以shine through应是“显而易见”之意,和D项意思相近。故选D项。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段“But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.(但同样重要的是精神层面。阅读研究人员提出了一个名为“shallowing hypothesis”的理论。根据这一理论,人们以适合社交媒体的心态接触数字文本,这些文本通常不那么严肃,与阅读印刷品时相比,投入的精神努力也更少)”可知,shallowing hypothesis假设读者在阅读数字文本时会持有一种轻松的心态,不会像阅读纸质书籍那样投入太多的心理努力。故选A项。
7.细节理解题。根据第五段“Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies — say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person.(音频和视频可能比文本更具吸引力,因此大学教师越来越多地转向这些技术,例如分配在线讲座而不是同一作者的文章)”可知,音频和视频比文本更能吸引学生的注意力,所以大学教师越来越多地使用这些技术。故选A项。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.(数字文本、音频和视频都具有教育作用,尤其是在提供印刷品中无法获得的资源时。然而,为了在需要精神集中和反思的情况下最大限度地学习,教育工作者不应假定所有媒体都是相同的,即使它们包含相同的单词)”可知,尽管数字文本、音频和视频在教育中有一定作用,但当需要精神集中和反思以最大化学习时,教育者不应假定所有媒体都是相同的,即使它们包含相同的单词。这表明作者认为纸质文本在教育中的作用仍然不可替代,因此暗示纸质文本在教育中的重要性。故选C项。

Task 2
(2024·山东·二模)阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a sunny Friday morning, Mr. Stone, the Grade 4 head teacher, walked into the classroom with a new student following him. She was a lively girl from Mexico, and her red mushroom hair cut immediately drew everyone’s eyes. With a welcoming smile, Mr. Stone gestured for her to sit beside Mike, a student known for teasing others.
During break time, Mike couldn’t help but laugh when he caught sight of his new deskmate. Sara’s distinctive hairstyle seemed like an open invitation for him to make fun of her. Leaning in towards Sara, he playfully suggested, “Hey, Sara. Ever thought about changing your name to Dora? You look just like Dora the Explorer!” His words caused laughter and cheers from the others in the classroom.
Sara’s eyes filled with tears, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment. Feeling hurt and upset, she stood up suddenly, rushing to the teacher’s office to seek support from Mr. Stone. After hearing her story, Mr. Stone offered her gentle comfort, saying, “Sara, your hairstyle is truly pretty. Remember, everyone has their own sense of beauty.”
Mr. Stone then directed his attention to Mike, expressing his disappointment and urging Mike to apologize to Sara. “Mike,” he continued, “your actions were unkind. We must treat everyone with empathy(同情). Laughing at Sara’s hair has deeply hurt her.”
This conflict was temporarily settled, but Mr. Stone found himself lost in thought. Reflecting on his own childhood, Mr. Stone recalled how he had been teased for being overweight. The pain caused by hurtful words was like wrinkles on a crumpled(压皱的)ball of paper. Even if you smoothed them out, the wrinkles stayed.
He wanted to teach an important lesson to Mike, the troublemaker. Then, a unique strategy came to mind. He contacted Mike’s mother, explaining the situation and discussing a plan with her to develop empathy in her son. They agreed that over the weekend, Mike’s mother would arrange for Mike to have his hair cut extremely short.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【范文赏析】On Monday morning, Mike unwillingly approached the classroom. Feeling nervous and embarrassed, his heart was heavy with worry that his classmates would tease him. His hair had been cut so short that the skin under the hair was nearly visible. As he stepped through the door,the room erupted in giggles, nicknaming him “Baldy.” A few curious boys came up and attempted to touch his newly shaved head. Overwhelmed by shame and anger, Mike shouted out, “You are mean!” Tears welled up in his eyes as Mike stood up and ran towards the door.
At that moment, Mr. Stone walked into the classroom with a ball of paper. With a gentle pat on Mike’s shoulder, he guided him back to his seat. As Mr. Stone made his way to the platform, the room fell silent. Holding up the crumpled ball of paper, he began to smooth out its wrinkles. “Each fold represented a scar of hurtful words. Even when we try to apologize,” Mr. Stone explained softly, “the wounds remain. Let us always speak with kindness and warmth.” From that day on, Mike learned a valuable lesson: the importance of kindness and empathy.
【语篇解读】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了小学四年级的班主任Mr. Stone在一次课间休息时发现新学生Sara被同学Mike因为发型而嘲笑,感到伤心。Mr. Stone不仅安慰了Sara,还教育了Mike要尊重他人,对Mike进行了深刻的反思,想起自己童年也曾因体重被嘲笑。为了帮助Mike理解别人的感受,Mr. Stone与Mike的母亲合作,计划让Mike体验被嘲笑的滋味,通过这种方式培养他的同理心。
【详情解析】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“星期一早上,Mike不情愿地走近教室。”可知,第一段可描写他走进教室后被同学们嘲笑,还有同学给他起外号,他羞愧且愤怒的跑出教室。
②由第二段首句内容“就在这时,Mr. Stone先生拿着一团纸走进了教室。”可知,第二段可描写引导Mike回到座位,用褶皱的纸形象的说明伤人的话语对人造成的伤害,以及Mike的感悟。
2.续写线索:走进教室——嘲笑——羞愧——跑出教室——回到座位——褶皱的纸——伤人的话语——宝贵一课——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①嘲笑:tease/joke about/mock
②引导:guide/direct/conduct
③大喊:shout/cry out/scream
情绪类
①紧张的:nervous/anxious/worried
②愤怒:anger/rage/irritation
【点睛】[高分句型1] Feeling nervous and embarrassed, his heart was heavy with worry that his classmates would tease him. (运用了现在分词作状语)
[高分句型2] As Mr. Stone made his way to the platform, the room fell silent. (运用了As引导的时间状语从句)
