(24-25高三上·江苏南京·开学考试)Studies have shown that physical activity can improve mental alertness and cognitive function. Your brain works better and you can think more clearly after exercising. 1 If you are looking for a way to boost your studying, try incorporating daily exercise into your routine.
Try light exercise while you study.
A few studies have shown that performing light exercise while studying can help recall of information. These studies found that vigorous exercise while studying may hurt recall because your brain is focused on the workout instead of the information. 2 You can use the stationary bike while you study for at least half an hour, making sure to keep the intensity light.
Exercise at your desk.
You can get your blood pumping at your desk while you study. If you don’t want to leave everything and go for a quick 15-minute stroll, try getting some physical activity in where you are. Do some chair squats at your desk. 3 Hover just above the chair for about 10 seconds. Repeat this 20 times.
Take a walk on breaks.
If you are studying in the library, break up your study sessions with physical activity. 4 You can also do this if you are studying in your dorm or a coffee shop. Taking a break helps refresh yourself and gets blood flowing to the brain, which can help you think and remember better.
5
Consistent daily workouts, integrated with your study and class schedule, are more effective than cramming 150 minutes of physical activity into the weekend. Regular physical activity throughout the week enhances brain function when you need it most — during your study sessions — rather than isolating it to the weekend.

(2024·江苏南通·一模)“Hobbies” is a term that refers to the activities done for relaxation and enjoyment in your spare time. Hobbies are valuable as some of them make you skilled and knowledgeable. 1 I will list some of the hobbies that are productive and worth developing.
Reading makes a full man. Children must develop the hobby of reading at an early age by reading storybooks, poems and so on. However, if you didn’t do that in your childhood, don’t worry. 2 The more a person reads, the broader his vision becomes.
Cooking is another good hobby. 3 Many of those who enjoy the art of cooking take a training course in hotel management. After completion of the course, some of them can get placed in famous hotels and restaurants, and many will start their own business.
4 Most of the people take up the hobby just for pleasure and peace. They enjoy doing it and build up a great collection over time. Those who paint really well can exhibit their talent and gain some appreciation. They may also use the hobby to earn some money, if they wish to.

(24-25高三上·江苏南京·开学考试)The following life suggestions come from some famous writers, which we expect to offer you some great insights into your daily life.
1
If your happiness depends on your feeling superior to others (intellectually, morally, etc.) 2 Though you might mature at a faster rate than some of your fellow humans, you will never be superior to another person. Focus instead on improving your own character and making progress toward becoming the person you want to be.
Remember you’ll always regret what you didn’t do rather than what you did
You’re more likely to regret opportunities you didn’t take than the stupid mistakes you made. At least in the latter cases, you did something rather than stick to what was normal and safe for you. 13
You’d worry less about what people think of you if you knew how seldom they do
People have their own lives to live and their own issues to work on. If they spend any time thinking of you, it’s not likely to be much. 3 Stop stressing over what they might think of something you said or did. Chances are, they’ve already forgotten.
If the grass is greener on the other side, there’s probably more fertilizer there
If someone else’s life looks better than yours — it’s likely because they’ve put in a lot of effort and hardship to get there. You don’t see what they’ve suffered or what they’ve had to overcome to get to where they are now. 4 Be open and receptive to the blessings and the challenges that come your way.
A.No one grows and develops by staying in their comfort zone.
B.Nobility (崇高,高尚) lies in mutual trust and firm belief
C.So, stop worrying about what other people think of you.
D.Focus instead on laying a foundation of gratitude for the life you want.
E.True nobility is being superior to your former self
F.you would achieve more accomplishments.
G.you’re your own worst enemy.
(24-25高三上·江苏淮安·开学考试)Google is adding new AI-powered search features to Google Search and in Google Search Labs, in addition to rolling out AI Overviews to searchers this week. 1
Coming to Search Labs is the ability to adjust the AI Overviews to simplify the language or break it down in more detail. If you click on “Simpler”, you will be given a more basic AI Overview response. 2 This functionality refines search results without requiring multiple searches in the same search session.
Google Search can now provide multistep reasoning using Gemini step-by-step reasoning logic. You needn’t break your question into multiple searches. 3 The example provided by Google below demonstrates how multistep reasoning works. You’re searching for a new yoga studio. You can ask Google Search to “find the best yoga studios in Boston and show details on their introduction offers and walking time from Beacon Hill.”
The planning capabilities feature gives you the ability to plan what you need directly in Google Search. This will give you choices and the ability to co-create plans with others. You can export the results, and replace specific plan details with another option within the various plan set. For example, you can search for “create a 3 day meal plan for a group that’s easy to prepare.” 4 You can switch out parts of the plan as you wish, and then export them to Google Docs or Gmail.
5 This will help you brainstorm options for your question. You will be given search results categorized under unique, AI-generated headlines. This functionality will roll out for dining and recipes, followed by movies, music, books, hotels, shopping and more later this year.
A.You will obtain links to recipes across the web.
B.Google responds based on the questions asked.
C.You can ask your most complex questions in one go.
D.The new capabilities provide users with many useful functions.
E.Google Search uses AI to group search results into specific categories.
F.Clicking on “Break it down” will provide a much more detailed response.
G.You’ll get a starting point with a wide range of recipes from across the web.
(2025·江苏南京·一模)Always the outsider?
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. 1 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: 2 The only person making me feel like an outsider is me. These are the lessons I have learned along the way:
●Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 3 It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.
●Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 4 When are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
● 5 Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging.
A.Don’t charge into friendships, though.
B.Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
C.If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
D.No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.
E.The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.
F.Try doing something to take yourself out of your comfort zone.
G.We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not the only one.
(24-25高三上·江苏苏州·开学考试)How many times have you shrunk yourself because you fear being judged?
There is a term in social psychology called the ‘spotlight effect’. 1 The reality is that everyone is so concerned about their own life that they rarely spend much time thinking about ours.
I have a folder in my laptop where I keep encouraging messages for myself. I want to share one I come back to often: Don’t let others stand in the way of your success. 2 These people are everywhere, and they may feel impactful in the present moment, but they will not matter soon enough as you progress in your journey. This is your life so stop letting other people decide it for you.
3 We tell ourselves “I can’t do this” or “I am not good enough” or “there is too much competition”. I think it’s a sign of courage and confidence to go for something that is scary, uncertain, and difficult. So, If your heart is set on doing something that you truly believe in-go for it. If it doesn’t work, at least you tried. Find the strength to really believe that you belong in every room you walk into. What you have to say is just as important as anyone else in that room. Most importantly, remind yourself that confidence doesn’t happen in leaps. 4 . Consciously do the work every day until you truly believe that you belong in every room you walk into.
Do the same for yourself as you do for others—reflect on your best qualities, celebrate your strengths, make yourself laugh, treat yourself to things, nurture your own happiness. 5 Just remember to serve yourself from time to time the same way you serve others. To truly give the world your best, you must also treat yourself as your best self.
A.They keep me grounded and focused.
B.It is slowly learned in small baby steps.
C.If you’re not ready to step out, it’s fine.
D.A lot of us tend to play it safe because we fear failing.
E.Your positive light helps those around you feel cared for.
F.It refers to our tendency to overestimate others’ attention to us.
G.There will be many people who will decide you can’t do something.
(24-25高三上·江苏南通·开学考试)Does the sound of rain really help you fall asleep?
You’ve likely heard that the pitter pattering of raindrops can help people fall asleep. There’s also research that supports the idea that rain sounds are a useful sleep aid. Here’s what to know. 1
Rain sounds can mask other sharper noises in your environment. Think of a dripping faucet (水龙头) in the other room in utter silence; it could be very annoying. With a masking background of wind in the leaves, a soft rain, or some gentle waves playing on a loop on a speaker, the drip would never be noticed. 2 Rain sounds might literally hit the right frequencies
By masking background sounds, rain tracks might seem like they’re just ordinary white noise, but they are not. 3 They are named after colors. Rain sounds are considered pink noise, which is characterized by louder sounds at a low frequency and softer sounds at high frequencies. Some research suggests that pink noise in particular can improve sleep in healthy individuals. But this may not be the case for everyone.Research suggests that nature has a calming effect
In addition to helping people fall asleep, rain sounds can be straight-up relaxing. 4 Evidence points to psychological benefits, including increased cognitive capacity and reduced anxiety and stress. People exposed to nature sounds in a 2017 study had an increased parasympathetic response, meaning that the calming part of their nervous system was activated by these tracks. Should you try rain sounds?
Rain or might help some people but here nor for everyone. 5 One person’s gentle rain is another one’s flood worry or need to go to the bathroom. Similarly, gentle rain with distant thunder is calming for some and alarming for others. Will they work for you?
There’s only one way to find out! There’s only one way to find out!
A.Rain noise hides other sounds.
B.Rain noises sometimes disrupt seep.
C.So rain sounds can create a calming background noise.
D.White noise is an umbrella term for a variety of sounds.
E.This may boil down to the fact that they’re a natural sound.
F.It’s worth experimenting with the frequency to see if it can work for you.
G.Different sounds will bring out different responses depending on the individual.
(2025·江苏南通·一模)Getting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 1 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.
Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 3
2 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.
As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 4 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.
Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 5 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.
A.Frank communication requires acceptance.
B.Over time, he will be more likely to open up.
C.Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.
D.Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.
E.Parents need to know more about male mental health.
F.Communication is effective in the process of exercising.
G.Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.
(24-25高三上·江苏扬州·开学考试)Many schools have disaster plans in place to help students prepare for a natural disaster and know what to do immediately after one occurs. Here are some additional tips for you.
Create a “go” bag.
When you know a natural disaster is coming, having a “go” bag can help you move to safety quickly when it’s time to evacuate (撤离) . 1 . These need to be essential items you can grab and go with at a moment’s notice.
Sign up for your school’s text notification system.
2 Your school’s text notification system will likely offer the best, specialized information you’ll need about what’s happening at the school.
3
In the moments after a disaster, it’s important to make sure you’re okay. If you do have cuts or scrapes (擦伤) , use the first aid kit to attend to these wounds. 4 , use the whistle from the kit to draw attention to your location, or try to yell to get the attention of first responders.
Stay in a safe place.
In lots of natural disasters, many accidents happen after the worst of the event due to people being out and about too quickly. 5 , by all means seek shelter, but also remember that the aftereffects of a natural disaster can also be dangerous.

This essay aims to explore the significance of lifelong learning in the modern era, discussing its impact on personal growth, career development, and societal progress.
2 As technology and knowledge continue to evolve, it is important to stay updated with new information and ideas. By engaging in lifelong learning, individuals can enhance their cognitive abilities, broaden their horizons, and develop a growth mindset. This, in turn, leads to a more fulfilling and enriching life experience.
Lifelong learning is essential for career development. In the modern job market, employers increasingly value candidates who possess the ability to adapt to change and learn new skills quickly. Lifelong learners are more likely to stay relevant and competitive in their field, as they are constantly improving their knowledge and skills. 48
Moreover, lifelong learning contributes significantly to societal progress. As individuals continuously acquire new knowledge and skills, they are able to contribute more effectively to their communities and countries. 3 Lifelong learning also fosters a culture of inclusivity and diversity, as it encourages individuals from different backgrounds and experiences to learn and grow together.
In conclusion, lifelong learning is an indispensable aspect of life in the modern era. 4 By committing to lifelong learning, individuals can stay updated with new knowledge and ideas, enhance their cognitive abilities, and contribute more effectively to their communities and countries.

(2025·江苏·模拟预测)There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing. 1 But whether it is positive or negative, it can bring a lot of value to your personal development.
Why ask for feedback? Because it is the only way you can see yourself through another person’s eyes. You can look at your own work and skills but not see the truth. Sometimes, it’s because you get used to devaluing what you do. At other times, it’s because you overestimate your own ability. 2 Here is how you can make this a regular part of your life.
You should ask other people what they think and how they see you. 3 However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters.
4 You don’ have to focus only on the bad things or what is not working. You also need to hear what is going well. What is working is as important as what is not. Don’t be afraid to ask for positive feedback, either.
There are a couple of things you can do to ensure you are getting authentic feedback. First, approach people when they are willing to talk to you. 5 Second, don’t get angry. When you ask for feedback, you might hear unpleasant things. They may be ridiculous or hurtful, but that’s fine. Thank the person and decide whether the feedback is useful or not.
A.Tell different kinds of feedback apart.
B.Hearing about yourself may cause some anxiety.
C.Be sure to request positive and negative feedback.
D.Either way, feedback is of great significance to your growth.
E.But you can’t control what feedback others choose to give you.
F.Don’t, for example, disturb them when they are rushing or have a lot of stress.
G.This can be scary because others will not just say nice things or what you want to hear.
(2025·江苏盐城·一模)Once upon a time, sewing and mending clothes was common. It was a skill passed down through generations, ensuring that garments were cherished and maintained for longevity. But why have people stopped mending their clothing? 1 .
However, the tide seems to be turning. In the past few years, there’s been a growing interest in slow fashion—not just saving money, but also sewing and mending. 2 .
Why should you learn to mend? 3 . As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do for the planet is buy less to begin with. 4 . Additionally, it’s helpful to customize secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date, giving them a new lease on life and keeping them out of waste streams.
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is always better. 5 .
If you’re interested in sewing and mending, now is the perfect time to learn this new skill, which can have a profoundly positive impact on the world.
A.Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed making new clothes readily available, and fast fashion became increasingly popular, making it more convenient to buy something new than to fix what was broken.
B.On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find countless videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys, indicating a resurgence in the art of repair.
C.From an environmental perspective, it’s essential.
D.It’s meditative, slow work that allows you to connect with your possessions on a deeper level. It’s productive, deeply satisfying, and an act of personal and environmental stewardship.
E.That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sending them to an already-overfilled landfill.
F.Mending clothes is a dying art that has little relevance in today’s consumer-driven society.
G.It’s a form of resistance against the throwaway culture that has dominated for too long.

If your happiness depends on your feeling superior to others (intellectually, morally, etc.) 2 Though you might mature at a faster rate than some of your fellow humans, you will never be superior to another person. Focus instead on improving your own character and making progress toward becoming the person you want to be.
Remember you’ll always regret what you didn’t do rather than what you did
You’re more likely to regret opportunities you didn’t take than the stupid mistakes you made. At least in the latter cases, you did something rather than stick to what was normal and safe for you. 13
You’d worry less about what people think of you if you knew how seldom they do
People have their own lives to live and their own issues to work on. If they spend any time thinking of you, it’s not likely to be much. 3 Stop stressing over what they might think of something you said or did. Chances are, they’ve already forgotten.
If the grass is greener on the other side, there’s probably more fertilizer there
If someone else’s life looks better than yours — it’s likely because they’ve put in a lot of effort and hardship to get there. You don’t see what they’ve suffered or what they’ve had to overcome to get to where they are now. 4 Be open and receptive to the blessings and the challenges that come your way.
A.No one grows and develops by staying in their comfort zone.
B.Nobility (崇高,高尚) lies in mutual trust and firm belief
C.So, stop worrying about what other people think of you.
D.Focus instead on laying a foundation of gratitude for the life you want.
E.True nobility is being superior to your former self
F.you would achieve more accomplishments.
G.you’re your own worst enemy.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍来自一些著名作家生活建议。
1.由下文“Though you might mature at a faster rate than some of your fellow humans, you will never be superior to another person. Focus instead on improving your own character and making progress toward becoming the person you want to be.(虽然你可能比你的一些人类同胞成熟得更快,但你永远不会比别人优越。相反,专注于改善自己的性格,朝着成为你想成为的人迈进。)”可知,这里主要讲不要通过他人建立优越感,而应注重自身内在的提升。而E项True nobility is being superior to your former self(真正的高贵是超越过去的自己)符合语境,对本段有总括作用,其中superior to your former self与下文making progress toward becoming the person you want to be对应。故选E项。
2.由上文“If your happiness depends on your feeling superior to others (intellectually, morally, etc.)(如果你的幸福取决于你比别人优越的感觉(智力、道德等)”可知,这里讲通过与别人对比寻求幸福,本句为条件状语从句,后面应接主句。而G项you’re your own worst enemy.(你是自己最大的敌人。)符合语境,与前面句子构成条件关系,有承上作用。故选G项。
3.由上文“You’re more likely to regret opportunities you didn’t take than the stupid mistakes you made. At least in the latter cases, you did something rather than stick to what was normal and safe for you.(你更有可能后悔没有抓住的机会,而不是犯下的愚蠢错误。至少在后一种情况下,你做了一些事情,而不是坚持生活在对你来说正常和安全的环境中。)”可知,这里主要讲要走出自己的舒适区去做事情,而不是后悔没有做。而A项No one grows and develops by staying in their comfort zone.(没有人会因为呆在自己的舒适区而成长和发展。)符合语境,其中their comfort zone与上文what was normal and safe for you对应,有承上作用。故选A项。
4.由上文“People have their own lives to live and their own issues to work on. If they spend any time thinking of you, it’s not likely to be much. (人们有自己的生活要过,有自己的问题要解决。如果他们花时间评价你,那也不太可能。)”可知,人们有自己的事需要关注,没有时间过多评价你。而C项So, stop worrying about what other people think of you.(所以,不要担心别人怎么看你。)符合语境,其中 think of you与上文对应,有承上作用。故选C项。
5.由上文“If someone else’s life looks better than yours—it’s likely because they’ve put in a lot of effort and hardship to get there. You don’t see what they’ve suffered or what they’ve had to overcome to get to where they are now.(如果别人的生活看起来比你的好,那可能是因为他们付出了很多努力和艰辛。你看不到他们经历了什么,或者他们为了达到现在的成就而必须克服什么。)”可知,这里主要讲不要只看到别人生活好的一面。而D项Focus instead on laying a foundation of gratitude for the life you want.(相反,要专注于为你想要的生活奠定感恩的基础。)符合语境,instead表示与上文形成转折,有承上作用。故选D项。
(24-25高三上·江苏淮安·开学考试)Google is adding new AI-powered search features to Google Search and in Google Search Labs, in addition to rolling out AI Overviews to searchers this week. 1
Coming to Search Labs is the ability to adjust the AI Overviews to simplify the language or break it down in more detail. If you click on “Simpler”, you will be given a more basic AI Overview response. 2 This functionality refines search results without requiring multiple searches in the same search session.
Google Search can now provide multistep reasoning using Gemini step-by-step reasoning logic. You needn’t break your question into multiple searches. 3 The example provided by Google below demonstrates how multistep reasoning works. You’re searching for a new yoga studio. You can ask Google Search to “find the best yoga studios in Boston and show details on their introduction offers and walking time from Beacon Hill.”
The planning capabilities feature gives you the ability to plan what you need directly in Google Search. This will give you choices and the ability to co-create plans with others. You can export the results, and replace specific plan details with another option within the various plan set. For example, you can search for “create a 3 day meal plan for a group that’s easy to prepare.” 4 You can switch out parts of the plan as you wish, and then export them to Google Docs or Gmail.
5 This will help you brainstorm options for your question. You will be given search results categorized under unique, AI-generated headlines. This functionality will roll out for dining and recipes, followed by movies, music, books, hotels, shopping and more later this year.
A.You will obtain links to recipes across the web.
B.Google responds based on the questions asked.
C.You can ask your most complex questions in one go.
D.The new capabilities provide users with many useful functions.
E.Google Search uses AI to group search results into specific categories.
F.Clicking on “Break it down” will provide a much more detailed response.
G.You’ll get a starting point with a wide range of recipes from across the web.

(2025·江苏南京·一模)Always the outsider?
One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. 1 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess who was left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?
As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: 2 The only person making me feel like an outsider is me. These are the lessons I have learned along the way:
●Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 3 It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.
●Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 4 When are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?
●Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.
● 5 Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging.
A.Don’t charge into friendships, though.
B.Start noticing your patterns of mentality.
C.If I was asked a question, panic would set in.
D.No one can make you feel lower without your agreement.
E.The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.
F.Try doing something to take yourself out of your comfort zone.
G.We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not the only one.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们常常觉得自己是局外人这一现象,并给出了一些应对这种感受的方法和建议。
1.根据上文“I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough (我担心自己不够好或不够聪明。)”以及下文“I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. (我会努力用语言来形容,同时试图看起来很酷。)”可知,“我”在这种情况下会非常紧张,和人交流时,就会很恐慌,与C项“If I was asked a question, panic would set in. (如果有人问我一个问题,我就会感到恐慌。)”上下文一致,符合文意。故选C项。
2.根据上文“As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. l remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: (就像在生活的许多领域一样,你唯一能控制的就是你的反应。我提醒自己埃莉诺·罗斯福说过的话:)”可知,自己的情绪是由自己控制的,别人是无法让自己感到低落的,与D项“No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. (没有你的同意,没有人能让你感觉低落。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选D项。

4.根据前文“We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). (我们正在重播童年的故事,需要重写剧本。)”及下文“When are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself? (你什么时候假设你会独自一人?你把什么恐惧投射到自己身上?)”可知,人们需要关注自己的心态,与B项“Start noticing your patterns of mentality. (开始注意你的心态模式。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选B项。
5.根据下文“Sometimes, interactions with random strangers can help us feel more confident in all our relationships. For example, volunteering can make us feel connected and give us a sense of belonging. (有时,与随机的陌生人的互动可以帮助我们对所有关系更有信心。例如,志愿服务可以让我们感到相互联系并给我们一种归属感。)”可知,需要做一些事情来找到归属感改变现状,与F项“Try doing something to take yourself out of your comfort zone. (尝试做一些事情让自己走出舒适区。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选F项。
(24-25高三上·江苏苏州·开学考试)How many times have you shrunk yourself because you fear being judged?
There is a term in social psychology called the ‘spotlight effect’. 1 The reality is that everyone is so concerned about their own life that they rarely spend much time thinking about ours.
I have a folder in my laptop where I keep encouraging messages for myself. I want to share one I come back to often: Don’t let others stand in the way of your success. 2 These people are everywhere, and they may feel impactful in the present moment, but they will not matter soon enough as you progress in your journey. This is your life so stop letting other people decide it for you.
3 We tell ourselves “I can’t do this” or “I am not good enough” or “there is too much competition”. I think it’s a sign of courage and confidence to go for something that is scary, uncertain, and difficult. So, If your heart is set on doing something that you truly believe in-go for it. If it doesn’t work, at least you tried. Find the strength to really believe that you belong in every room you walk into. What you have to say is just as important as anyone else in that room. Most importantly, remind yourself that confidence doesn’t happen in leaps. 4 . Consciously do the work every day until you truly believe that you belong in every room you walk into.
Do the same for yourself as you do for others—reflect on your best qualities, celebrate your strengths, make yourself laugh, treat yourself to things, nurture your own happiness. 5 Just remember to serve yourself from time to time the same way you serve others. To truly give the world your best, you must also treat yourself as your best self.
A.They keep me grounded and focused.
B.It is slowly learned in small baby steps.
C.If you’re not ready to step out, it’s fine.
D.A lot of us tend to play it safe because we fear failing.
E.Your positive light helps those around you feel cared for.
F.It refers to our tendency to overestimate others’ attention to us.
G.There will be many people who will decide you can’t do something.

(24-25高三上·江苏南通·开学考试)Does the sound of rain really help you fall asleep?
You’ve likely heard that the pitter pattering of raindrops can help people fall asleep. There’s also research that supports the idea that rain sounds are a useful sleep aid. Here’s what to know. 1
Rain sounds can mask other sharper noises in your environment. Think of a dripping faucet (水龙头) in the other room in utter silence; it could be very annoying. With a masking background of wind in the leaves, a soft rain, or some gentle waves playing on a loop on a speaker, the drip would never be noticed. 2 Rain sounds might literally hit the right frequencies
By masking background sounds, rain tracks might seem like they’re just ordinary white noise, but they are not. 3 They are named after colors. Rain sounds are considered pink noise, which is characterized by louder sounds at a low frequency and softer sounds at high frequencies. Some research suggests that pink noise in particular can improve sleep in healthy individuals. But this may not be the case for everyone.Research suggests that nature has a calming effect
In addition to helping people fall asleep, rain sounds can be straight-up relaxing. 4 Evidence points to psychological benefits, including increased cognitive capacity and reduced anxiety and stress. People exposed to nature sounds in a 2017 study had an increased parasympathetic response, meaning that the calming part of their nervous system was activated by these tracks. Should you try rain sounds?
Rain or might help some people but here nor for everyone. 5 One person’s gentle rain is another one’s flood worry or need to go to the bathroom. Similarly, gentle rain with distant thunder is calming for some and alarming for others. Will they work for you?
There’s only one way to find out! There’s only one way to find out!
A.Rain noise hides other sounds.
B.Rain noises sometimes disrupt seep.
C.So rain sounds can create a calming background noise.
D.White noise is an umbrella term for a variety of sounds.
E.This may boil down to the fact that they’re a natural sound.
F.It’s worth experimenting with the frequency to see if it can work for you.
G.Different sounds will bring out different responses depending on the individual.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.E 5.G

2.根据上文“With a masking background of wind in the leaves, a soft rain, or some gentle waves playing on a loop on a speaker, the drip would never be noticed.(有了树叶上的风,柔和的雨,或者扬声器上循环播放的一些温柔的波浪,滴水永远不会被注意到)”可知,雨声能创造一个平静的背景,C项“So rain sounds can create a calming background noise.(所以雨声可以创造一种平静的背景噪音)”与上文逻辑连贯,是对前文的总结。故选C项。
3.根据上文“By masking background sounds, rain tracks might seem like they’re just ordinary white noise, but they are not.(通过掩盖背景声音,雨水轨迹可能看起来只是普通的白噪音,但事实并非如此)”以及后文“They are named after colors.(它们以颜色命名)”可知,前文提出了新的概念“白噪音”,此处在解释,所以D项“White noise is an umbrella term for a variety of sounds.(白噪音是各种声音的总称)”符合此处主题,是对“白噪音”的解释。故选D项。
4.根据前文“In addition to helping people fall asleep, rain sounds can be straight-up relaxing.(除了帮助人们入睡,雨声还能让人放松)”以及后文“Evidence points to psychological benefits, including increased cognitive capacity and reduced anxiety and stress. People exposed to nature sounds in a 2017 study had an increased parasympathetic response, meaning that the calming part of their nervous system was activated by these tracks.(有证据表明它对心理有好处,包括提高认知能力,减少焦虑和压力。在2017年的一项研究中,接触自然声音的人的副交感神经反应增加,这意味着他们神经系统的镇静部分被这些声音激活)”可知,E项“This may boil down to the fact that they’re a natural sound.(这可能归结为它们是一种自然的声音)”是对前文的进一步解释,其中“natural sound”呼应下文,为同词复现。故选E项。
5.根据前文“Rain or might help some people but here nor for everyone.(雨或可能会帮助一些人,但这里不是每个人)”以及后文“One person’s gentle rain is another one’s flood worry or need to go to the bathroom.(一个人的绵绵细雨可能是另一个人的洪水猛兽,或如厕之需)”可知,此处讲述雨声并不一定适用每个人,所以G项“Different sounds will bring out different responses depending on the individual.(不同的声音会引起不同的反应,这取决于个人)”符合此处主题,承上启下。故选G项。
(2025·江苏南通·一模)Getting information out of a teenage boy can be difficult. The communication at this age features short answers to every question, a complete lack of eye contact. 1 Here are some ways for parents and other caregivers to learn how to talk to boys about their mental health.
Many male teens don’t often show as much emotion or even give as many clues through body language. This requires parents and care providers to be much more attentive to facial expressions, and to the few words that they say. As parents, you need to talk less and listen more. Active listening will help earn his trust. 2
3 Negative messages such as “Grow up.” or “Be a man.” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.
As a parent, a good way for any kind of personal or emotional question is to ask twice, but not too many times. The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care. 4 The bonds between parents and teenagers are proven to reduce anxiety and depression.
Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether. 5 When he’s ready to listen to you, let him know you will be with him together.
A.Frank communication requires acceptance.
B.Over time, he will be more likely to open up.
C.Even if what you’ re hearing is scary, stay calm.
D.Their eyes roll when you ask them about their life.
E.Parents need to know more about male mental health.
F.Communication is effective in the process of exercising.
G.Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.

2.根据上文“Active listening will help earn his trust.(积极倾听有助于赢得他的信任)”可知上文说的是积极倾听有助于赢得他的信任,与B项“Over time, he will be more likely to open up.(随着时间的推移,他更有可能敞开心扉)”表达构成因果关系,符合语境,故选B项。
3.根据下文“Negative messages such as “Grow up” or “Be a man” send a message that being weak is wrong or that it’s not okay to feel what they are feeling. These types of messages keep boys from sharing their feelings.(“长大”或“做个男人”这样的负面信息传达了一个信息,那就是软弱是错误的,或者他们所感受到的是不对的。这类信息阻止了男孩们分享他们的感受)”可知下文说的是阻止男孩们分享他们的感受是错误的,可推理出此处说的是要接纳孩子,使他能够坦诚地交流,与A项“Frank communication requires acceptance.(坦诚的交流需要接纳)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。
4.根据上文“The first time lets him know that you are interested; the second time shows that you care.(第一次让他知道你感兴趣;第二次表明你在乎)”可知上文说的是要让孩子知道你对他感兴趣,而且表明你在乎他,可推理出此处说的是表现出关心和尊重可以拉近关系,与G项“Showing concern and respect for personal space allows close ties.(表现出关心和尊重个人空间可以拉近关系)”表达的含义一致,故选G项。
5.根据上文“Moreover, when a teen boy is willing to communicate, don’t interrupt. If you don’t let him finish talking, he may stop talking altogether.(此外,当一个青少年男孩愿意交流时,不要打断他。如果你不让他说完,他可能会完全停止说话)”可知上文说的是不管孩子说什么,都要保持镇静,耐心听他讲完,与C项“Even if what you're hearing is scary, stay calm. (即使你听到的是可怕的,保持冷静)”表达的含义一致,故选C项。

(2025·江苏·模拟预测)There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing. 1 But whether it is positive or negative, it can bring a lot of value to your personal development.
Why ask for feedback? Because it is the only way you can see yourself through another person’s eyes. You can look at your own work and skills but not see the truth. Sometimes, it’s because you get used to devaluing what you do. At other times, it’s because you overestimate your own ability. 2 Here is how you can make this a regular part of your life.
You should ask other people what they think and how they see you. 3 However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters.
4 You don’ have to focus only on the bad things or what is not working. You also need to hear what is going well. What is working is as important as what is not. Don’t be afraid to ask for positive feedback, either.
There are a couple of things you can do to ensure you are getting authentic feedback. First, approach people when they are willing to talk to you. 5 Second, don’t get angry. When you ask for feedback, you might hear unpleasant things. They may be ridiculous or hurtful, but that’s fine. Thank the person and decide whether the feedback is useful or not.
A.Tell different kinds of feedback apart.
B.Hearing about yourself may cause some anxiety.
C.Be sure to request positive and negative feedback.
D.Either way, feedback is of great significance to your growth.
E.But you can’t control what feedback others choose to give you.
F.Don’t, for example, disturb them when they are rushing or have a lot of stress.
G.This can be scary because others will not just say nice things or what you want to hear.

(2025·江苏盐城·一模)Once upon a time, sewing and mending clothes was common. It was a skill passed down through generations, ensuring that garments were cherished and maintained for longevity. But why have people stopped mending their clothing? 1 .
However, the tide seems to be turning. In the past few years, there’s been a growing interest in slow fashion—not just saving money, but also sewing and mending. 2 .
Why should you learn to mend? 3 . As any eco-expert will tell you, the best thing you can do for the planet is buy less to begin with. 4 . Additionally, it’s helpful to customize secondhand items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date, giving them a new lease on life and keeping them out of waste streams.
Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is always better. 5 .
If you’re interested in sewing and mending, now is the perfect time to learn this new skill, which can have a profoundly positive impact on the world.
A.Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed making new clothes readily available, and fast fashion became increasingly popular, making it more convenient to buy something new than to fix what was broken.
B.On one of the most pleasant corners of the Internet, you’ll find countless videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys, indicating a resurgence in the art of repair.
C.From an environmental perspective, it’s essential.
D.It’s meditative, slow work that allows you to connect with your possessions on a deeper level. It’s productive, deeply satisfying, and an act of personal and environmental stewardship.
E.That means shopping for quality items that will stand the test of time, but also learning a few key skills so you can repair those items as needed rather than sending them to an already-overfilled landfill.
F.Mending clothes is a dying art that has little relevance in today’s consumer-driven society.
G.It’s a form of resistance against the throwaway culture that has dominated for too long.
