3、同频练习
Passage A
While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
1:What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the article?
A. To release his or her wrong pressure.
B. To help solve the universal problem of stress.
C. To reduce his or her anxiety.
D. To have more people cry out.
Passage B
For travel expert and author La Carmina, slow travel allows people to stop and smell the roses-quite directly. “It’s about being fully present in the moment and experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations (感觉) around you completely “letting the experience develop at its own speed and without expectations,” she said. “To me, slow travel doesn’t have a strict definition or certain things to do, but rather focuses on the feeling of being a visitor to a place.”
Slow travel is becoming more and more popular now, because it can do good to us in many ways.
2. What does La Carmina think of slow travel?
A. It can let travelers experience the place deeply.
B. It can make travelers save a lot of money.
C. It can allow travelers to explore more places.
D. It can save travelers much more time.
Passage C
No business would welcome being compared to gambling (赌博). Yet that is what is happening to makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, however, even more doctors are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disorder” — in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO).
3. What do we know from Paragraph 1?
A. It is not suitable to compare video games to gambling.
B. Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.
C. Gaming addiction was officially recognized as a disease.
D. More doctors are against the use of the term “addicted”.
Passage D
It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?
What is oversharing? The term has become connected with social media, but it isn’t exclusive (独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to specialist Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does oversharing translate into social media?
Dr Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology, says the more details people expose (使显露), the less sympathy (同情) we express when things go wrong. This could be due to a belief that we will get more negative experiences if we share them more. It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.
However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive. Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging (吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?
So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life? They would probably be more than happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.
1.How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A.By providing data. B.By raising a question.
C.By giving an example. D.By analyzing cause and effect.
2.Why does the author describe a scene in paragraph 2?
A.To illustrate what oversharing is.
B.To attract readers’ attention and interest.
C.To explain the reason of oversharing.
D.To connect oversharing with social media.
3.According to Dr Hand, what may happen when people overshare online?
A.They would have no time to enjoy their real life.
B.People are likely to doubt their intention for help.
C.People show no sympathy when they are in trouble.
D.They will definitely become more socially attractive.
4.Which of the following online sharing does the author most agree with?
A.Showing off your expensive lifestyle.
B.Complaining frequently about your work.
C.Sharing photos of your breakfast every day.
D.Recording a video of how you save money.

2、阅读练习
Passage A
Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
1.What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A.To show the designer’s wisdom. B.To save consumers’ shopping time.
C.To increase non-essential purchases. D.To provide multiple goods for choice.
2.What would the store owner probably do to make more profits?
A.Put the healthy food together. B.Distribute junk food in different areas.
C.Place essential items before junk food. D.Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
B.Shopping baskets are better than heavy trolleys.
C.Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying.
D.Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A business magazine. B.A psychology report.
C.A research paper. D.A shopping guide.
Passage B
(23-24高一下·天津和平·期末)We live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided people believe they have a natural duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, you’ll offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If I’m painting our living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than having him point’ out what a careless painter. I am and then tell me how I should be doing it.
If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100%of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve? As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries (界限) with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any event, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact their life or relationship with the other party. Examine it for any potential truths, and then ‘ let it go and just be “OK”.
5.What does the author want to show by using the example of painting?
A.Nobody is perfect. B.The art of criticizing.
C.The value of suggestions. D.The harm of criticizing.
6.What is the best way to respond when you are criticized by a person?
A.Simply say “Thank you”. B.Defend yourself.
C.Ignore the comment. D.Just say “OK”.
7.You are told to ask yourself some questions in Paragraph 4 so as to .
A.better present negative reviews. B.learn from others’ mistakes
C.take criticism objectively D.have more confidence in yourself
8.How should you treat people who always criticize others according to the author’s advice?
A.Attack them sharply. B.Talk to them politely.
C.Stay away from them. D.Be open to their suggestions.

Passage D

【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在社交媒体过度分享这种社会现象。
1.推理判断题。根据首段“It’s good to share, right? Growing up as kids, we are told to share our toys and not be selfish. We also live in an age where discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a pillow as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?(分享是件好事,对吧?从小,我们就被告知要分享玩具,不要自私。我们也生活在一个鼓励讨论自己感受的时代。但什么时候这一切会变得过分呢?随着舞蹈挑战和穿枕头当裙子等新潮流的不断流行,问题是:社交媒体上的分享何时变得过度分享的?)”可知,在第一段中作者连续提出三个问题“分享是件好事,对吧?”、“但什么时候这一切会变得过分呢?”以及“社交媒体上的分享何时会变得过度分享?”,从而引出本文讨论的话题,由此可知,该段是通过提问的方式引出话题的。故选B项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“What is oversharing?(什么是过度分享?)”可知,本段第一句使用提问的形式引出本段讲述的主题,结合下文中的“The term has become connected with social media, but it isn’t exclusive (独有的) to this platform. Imagine you head to a party and you meet someone. Within five minutes they have revealed details about their life. (这个词已经与社交媒体联系在一起,但它并不是这个平台所独有的。想象一下,你去参加一个聚会,遇到了一个人。在五分钟内,他们就透露了自己生活的细节。)”可知,接下来提到了一个与陌生人相遇五分钟内就透露自己生活细节的场景,由此可知,本段主要是为了阐述“什么过度分享”。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It seems that sadfishing, the idea of searching for sympathy by oversharing, is generally viewed as negative rather than the cry for help it could actually be.(在社交媒体上博同情,即通过过度分享来寻求同情的想法,似乎通常被认为是消极的,而不是真正的求助。)”可知,在Dr Hand看来,在社交平台上过度分享来寻求同情的想法,经常被人认为不是真正的求助,由此可知,如果在网上过度分享,人们可能会怀疑这些人们寻求帮助的意图。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“However, Dr Hand’s research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become—if our posts are positive.(然而,Dr Hand的研究似乎也表明,如果我们的帖子是积极的,我们在一个平台上发布的越多,我们就越有社会吸引力。)”可知,在社交媒体上发布积极地帖子,就会越有社会吸引力,结合下文中的“Even back in2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD, said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off or bragging (吹嘘). It makes sense-if your life is going that well, would you really have time to share a photo with text?(早在2015年,格温多林·塞德曼博士就说过,我们应该避免在网上抱怨和消极。我们也应该避免炫耀或吹嘘。这是有道理的——如果你的生活过得很好,你真的有时间用文字分享照片吗?)”可知,我们不应该在社交平台上抱怨和消极,也不应该炫耀或吹嘘,如果自己过得好,也不会去分享照片的时间,所以A项、B项和C项讲述的内容与原文信息不符,由此可知,作者应该会赞成录制你如何省钱的视频。故选D项。

Hello, Kate. I decided to send you a speaking letter! Today it is very hot here. I hope tomorrow it will be cloudy and not so hot.
I am happy that you have decided to start learning French like me. When I come to visit you in London in the spring, we can talk together in French. Yesterday, I returned from my short holiday camping in Scotland. I went with my friend Melissa. She is from Paris. We camped near Edinburgh but the weather was terrible for the whole four days. Everything was so wet. But while we were there, we visited some village schools and an art museum.
On the last day we borrowed a boat and went out onto a lake. I am starting my new job tomorrow at the library near my house. How is your job at the supermarket? Please tell me what you are doing this month. I am going to work out at the gym now!
2、阅读练习
Passage A
Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.
Grocery store design is a carefully crafted art from both psychological and marketing standpoints, according to Reeves Connelly, who studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reason why fruit and vegetables are often located at the front of the store, “You’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hopefully feel less guilty about buying junk food later on.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.
There’s also a reason why you often feel lost in local supermarkets. Shockingly, they move things around. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always work on me,” one regular shopper admits, “I walk in to get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grocery shopping,” he said. On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared. “I’ve started having my groceries delivered. If I have to go to the store, I never grab a trolley. If I can’t carry it, I’m not buying it,” he added.
1.What is the purpose of the supermarket layout?
A.To show the designer’s wisdom. B.To save consumers’ shopping time.
C.To increase non-essential purchases. D.To provide multiple goods for choice.
2.What would the store owner probably do to make more profits?
A.Put the healthy food together. B.Distribute junk food in different areas.
C.Place essential items before junk food. D.Rearrange products in supermarkets regularly.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Most shoppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
B.Shopping baskets are better than heavy trolleys.
C.Making lists can be a smart act for impulse buying.
D.Grocery delivery can help improve supermarket sales.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A business magazine. B.A psychology report.
C.A research paper. D.A shopping guide.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back of the store to ensure customers walk through other aisles with many unhealthy options like snacks and sodas, potentially increasing the likelihood of impulse purchases.(与此同时,牛奶和鸡蛋等必需品被放在商店的后面,以确保顾客穿过其他过道,有许多不健康的选择,如零食和苏打水,这可能会增加冲动购物的可能性)”可知,超市布局的目的是促进非必要消费。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies become less effective after you visit the store a few times and get a better sense of where everything is, so they’ll regularly move the products to different aisles to con fuse you. The practice is not limited to a specific store but is employed across various retail chains.”(里夫斯解释说:“他们非常清楚,当你几次光顾商店并更好地了解每样商品的位置后,这些策略的效果就会降低,所以他们会定期将产品移到不同的过道,让你感到困惑。这种做法不仅限于特定的商店,而是被各种零售连锁店采用。”)”可知,为了提高利润,店主可能会定期重新安排超市的产品布局。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“On the other hand, some shoppers are proud to declare they have never fallen into the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shopping list on me,” another shopper shared.(另一方面,一些购物者自豪地宣称他们从未落入陷阱。“这就是为什么我总是把购物清单放在身上,”另一位购物者分享道)”可推知,带购物清单是避免冲动购物的明智之举。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever wondered about the universal layout (布局) of supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting you to walk through each aisle and fill your shopping cart without even realizing it.(你有没有想过超市的通用布局?聪明的设计师在背后,巧妙地引诱你穿过每一条过道,在不知不觉中装满购物车)”以及全文可知,文章主要说明了超市布局背后促进非必要消费的特殊原因以及建议。由此推知,文章可能选自一本商业杂志。故选A。
Passage B
(23-24高一下·天津和平·期末)We live in a judgmental world where people are quick to point out the faults and imperfections of others yet seem unaware of their own. Some misguided people believe they have a natural duty to help you to be a better person by telling you what a failure you really are first and then offering suggestions as to how you can improve.
So what is the solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, you’ll offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If I’m painting our living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than having him point’ out what a careless painter. I am and then tell me how I should be doing it.
If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution. When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue, a natural response is to defend and attack. However, this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead, simply reply with “OK”. This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person’s comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it.
It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100%of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve? As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries (界限) with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.
In any event, one can learn to be “OK” with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact their life or relationship with the other party. Examine it for any potential truths, and then ‘ let it go and just be “OK”.
5.What does the author want to show by using the example of painting?
A.Nobody is perfect. B.The art of criticizing.
C.The value of suggestions. D.The harm of criticizing.
6.What is the best way to respond when you are criticized by a person?
A.Simply say “Thank you”. B.Defend yourself.
C.Ignore the comment. D.Just say “OK”.
7.You are told to ask yourself some questions in Paragraph 4 so as to .
A.better present negative reviews. B.learn from others’ mistakes
C.take criticism objectively D.have more confidence in yourself
8.How should you treat people who always criticize others according to the author’s advice?
A.Attack them sharply. B.Talk to them politely.
C.Stay away from them. D.Be open to their suggestions.
【答案】5.B 6.D 7.C 8.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何应对批评,指出在任何情况下,一个人都可以学会接受批评,不让它对他们的生活或与另一方的关系产生负面影响。
5.推理判断题。根据第二段“So what is the solution to criticism? If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves, STOP. Make a conscious decision that rather than focus on the negative aspect of a person’s performance or attitudes, you’ll offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If I’m painting our living room and making a mess in doing so, I would like my husband to say to me, “This is a tough job. Can I offer a suggestion that might make it easier for you?” rather than having him point’ out what a careless painter. I am and then tell me how I should be doing it.(那么,如何解决批评呢?如果你是那个强迫别人为自己感到羞耻的人,停下来。做一个有意识的决定,而不是专注于一个人的表现或态度的消极方面,你会从一开始就提供有用的建议。如果我正在粉刷我们的客厅,并把它弄得一团糟,我希望我的丈夫对我说:“这是一项艰巨的工作。我能提个建议让你容易些吗?”而不是让他指出他是一个多么粗心的油漆工。是的,然后告诉我应该怎么做)”可知,作者想用绘画的例子来说明批评的艺术。故选B。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段“If you are on the receiving end of criticism, the “OK” response is a perfect solution.(如果你被批评了,回答“OK”是一个完美的解决方案)”可知,当你被人批评时,最好的回应方式是说“OK”。故选D。
7.细节理解题。根据第四段“It is important to remain emotionally attached to what the other person is saying, to listen without feeling, to be an objective observer. There is much that one can learn from a negative review. You can ask yourself: Did I make a mistake? Could I have done better? Did I give 100%of myself to the task at hand? If so, how can I improve?( 重要的是要对他人所说的话保持情感上的依恋,不带感情地倾听,做一个客观的观察者。一个人可以从负面评价中学到很多东西。你可以问问自己:我做错了吗?我还能做得更好吗?我是否对手头的任务投入了100%的精力?如果是这样,我该如何改进?)”可知,你被要求问自己一些问题是为了客观地接受批评。故选C。
8.细节理解题。根据第四段“As for chronic (习惯性的) criticizers: It is important to set strict boundaries (界限) with them. Remove yourself from their presence when necessary.(对于习惯性批评的人:与他们建立严格的界限是很重要的。必要时离开他们)”可知,你应该远离总是批评别人的人。故选C。
