(23-24高二上·湖北·期中)Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective. 1 They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health. If you’re ready for your fault, here are four key s to apologizing well.
1. 2
Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness. “What we found is that people usually tend to offer an apology as soon as possible,” she says. “It’s an effort to shut the whole incident down. You can’t deliver an effective apology until the injured person believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it’s not going to be seen as sincere.”
2. Accept responsibility.
Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault? 2 “But I like to encourage people to really focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that they’re responsible for.” Schumann says. Calling attention to the fact that we’re also hurt is normal, but save it for later on in the conversation.
3. Be clear about how you plan to repair things.
One of the core elements of an apology is making reparations. That will be possible in a direct way: You broke their favorite wineglass? Buy them a new one. Spilled coffee on their new dress? Pay for the dry cleaning. 3 It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future.
4. Don’t expect forgiveness.
An apology is a starting point. Particularly with severe faults, the person wronged will often need time and space to heal. Schumann suggests saying like this: “I understand this isn’t going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you’re not ready to forgive me, 4 ”
A.Don’t rush into it.
B.Start with specific words.
C.it’s important not to pressure them.
D.That’s exactly the problem many people struggle with.
E.you’re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward.
F.Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward.
G.But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it.
(23-24高二上·广东潮州·期中)The Guide to Keeping Your Dorm(宿舍)Room Clean
In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms. 1 As a result, everybody’s business is nobody’s business. Read through this guide to keeping your dorm room clean.
Have a cleaning routine. With a cleaning routine in place, you will always tidy up your room at a particular time often. If you can, sweep up your room every day in the morning. You can also do it every other day. 2 In addition, you can take turns cleaning if you have a roommate.
3 The quickest way of making a dorm room dirty and unorganized is to throw clothes everywhere. Never throw dirty clothes on the bed or the floor. They will quickly fill your room up. Rather, you should keep your dirty clothes in a basket and clean ones in your closet.
Have a study plan. Being a student does not mean living without a plan. 4 It also makes your social and personal life easier. As a result, you are better able to clean your room if your life is organized.
Avoid eating in your room. Food can easily cause a mess in a room. No matter how careful you are, you will drop a few parts of food in your room if you eat in it. Therefore, the best way of keeping your room clean is to avoid eating in it. 5
A.Keep your shoes by the door.
B.Avoid placing clothes everywhere.
C.What’s worse, waste can quickly spread all over your room.
D.But do not go more than two days without cleaning your room.
E.Besides, many students share a room with at least one other student.
F.Similarly, do not allow your friends and classmates to eat in your room.
G.Therefore, having a study plan helps you stay in control of your study life.
(22-23高二上·河南郑州·期中)A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in confusion. So I decide to follow in the footsteps of the great American “philosopher”, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days. The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 1 —like watching the news.
There are a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, 2 . I went from a desk-dwelling computer nerd (书呆子) to the kind of guy who bikes to work. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
3 . Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel. It turns out that all you have to do is to write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, they were easier to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. 4 . But they are more difficult to stick.
So what are you waiting for? 5 , so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days?
A.I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days
B.In fact, they’re a ton of fun
C.In fact, I think they’re not practical
D.I renewed myself while sticking to the challenge
E.I wanted to do something for the first time in my life
F.The next 30 days is going to pass whether you like it or not
G.30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or get rid of a habit
(23-24高二上·河北石家庄·期中)What do you do when you receive an invitation to an event that you do not want to attend or that you cannot attend due to your busy schedule? In that case, we simply can’t act on everything our heart feels. 1 Here are some right ways to decline (拒绝) an invitation without hurting others’ feelings.
Respond in a timely manner.
2 It’s OK to put off responding if you’re unsure at first, but give yourself a deadline to figure it out — and stick to it. Always respond to invitations in a timely manner.
3 .
It’s OK to say you’re sorry that you can’t make an event, but it’s better to redefine it as a positive. Rather than apologizing, say how happy you are that they invited you and that while you can’t make it this time, you look forward to getting together with them in the future.
Don’t say “maybe”.
Procrastinating (拖延) by saying “maybe” usually means it’s a no. 4 Saying “maybe” is a way of making yourself feel better, but it leaves the other person hanging, which is unkind.
Don’t try to control the other person’s feelings.
There’s the assumption that we can decline without hurting anyone else’s feelings, but we can’t ensure the other person’s experience. They may feel sad or disappointed when you decline, but that’s OK. 5
A.Focus on the positive.
B.Be honest but not too honest.
C.Don’t leave the hoot hanging.
D.It’s fine to decline via digital means.
E.Most people will understand that life just gets busy.
F.If that’s really what you mean, just go ahead and say no.
G.Instead, we should learn how to politely say “no” to an invitation.
(22-23高二上·河南·期中)Just like our bodies, our minds also become weak over time. 1 But thanks to the work of researchers, we are learning how exercise can push back against time and keep the brain young.
It improves cognitive (认知的) performance.
A study published in the journal Neurology Clinical Practice examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and discovered that exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is associated with improved cognitive performance in older adults. The type of exercises are beneficial. 2
It can make you happier.
The human body is meant to move. But listening to that urge to move has many benefits - including making you happier and even keep depression and other mental health issues at bay. 3 It suggested exercise can significantly improve mood over time.
4
Researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea further by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain activity he used to complete the tasks when compared with his out-of-shape peers.
It can expand your capacity for joy.
5 She explains the importance of dopamine (多巴胺) receptors, which we lose as we age. After eight weeks of walking, jogging and strength training, these adults showed an increase of dopamine receptors.
A.It allows you to use less brain power for the same task.
B.It makes you feel the progress of your brain power.
C.But remember not to choose some energetic exercises.
D.And these exercises include strength-training and mind-body exercises.
E.We lose the ability to process new information or to switch quickly between mental tasks.
F.A research has begun to expose long-overlooked links between physical activity and mental health.
G.Kelly McGonigal is a health expert who explains how exercise makes the brain more sensitive to joy.
(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)If you’re a perfectionist, that might mean you can be pretty hard on yourself. A mistake at work, for example, could result in some pretty negative self-talk or actions, like depriving yourself of a snack later that day. 1
But self-punishment doesn’t encourage growth, says Katherine, a psychotherapist and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control.” 2 “When you punish someone, that person doesn’t learn how to change; they learn how to avoid the source of the punishment.”
3 This might look like overworking, overspending, or numbing yourself with excessive consumption of social media or TV shows. None of this actually helps you grow, though.
Instead of punishing yourself for making a mistake, it is more effective to practice self-compassion(自我同情). Katherine suggests the broaden-and-build theory, a positive psychology theory that was developed by social psychologist Barbara in 1998.
Broaden-and-build theory suggests that when you’re in a positive headspace you feel more able to face different challenges and make choices based on the possibility of positive outcomes. When you’re in a negative headspace your view narrows and you aren’t inspired or encouraged to think differently. 4
Research demonstrates self compassion’s positive association with a greater sense of self-worth, more realistic self-evaluations of strengths and weaknesses, lower levels of depression and anxiety. 5 Choosing self-compassion instead of self-punishment means you are more likely to learn from your mistakes and grow as a person.
A.In other words, you’re punishing yourself.
B.“Punishment doesn’t work.” she writes in her book.
C.To put yourself in a positive headspace, you need to practice self-compassion.
D.If you are the source of your own punishment then you learn to avoid yourself.
E.Punishment can be mistaken for a handful of things like discipline, personal responsibility.
F.It is also related with increased motivation to learn from past mistakes, and the list goes on.
G.Instead of being scared to act natural consequence might encourage you to act in a way leading to a positive result.
(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to decode dogs’ behaviour.
1. If your dog looks remorseful (羞愧的) when you walk in the door and see a mess…
They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that ”guilty” look to the test in 2009. 1 Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty.
2. If your dog licks their mouth…
They’re stressed Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. 2 The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. 3
3. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down…
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed triggers range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. 4 Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
4. If your dog leans into you during a petting session…
They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then gauge their reaction. This is called a consent test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. 5 Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin.
A.You could also discuss medication with your vet.
B.It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
C.However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more cuddles, continue!
D.If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done.
E.Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting.
F.One found that it was a canine response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen
G.In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner.
(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person. Einstein learned from making mistakes
1 He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencil. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.
2
Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too. Einstein considered time to be important
He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 3 He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time. Einstein liked to joke too
In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 4
When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 5 So, never be discouraged!
A.Einstein was also very modest.
B.What a humorous person he is!
C.Einstein was also strict with his students.
D.Give students a chance to correct their mistakes.
E.That’s why he never remembered his own phone number.
F.If we ever feel like giving up when we have problems, we should think of him.
G.When Einstein started to work in America, someone asked him what he needed.
(22-23高二上·全国·期中)When people are stressed, anxious or depressed, they are unlikely to make healthy lifestyle choices. They may be more likely to smoke more, not be physically active, drink too much alcohol and sleep too little or too much. 1 If you’re struggling with depression, stress or anxiety, taking the following key steps can help.
To begin with, identify the cause of your depression, stress or anxiety and address it. 2 However, if it goes on for two weeks or more, you may need to seek professional help. Depression is a problem when it causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to various emotional and physical problems.
3 If you aren’t in the habit of exercising, start gradually. Something as simple as taking a walk, 30 minutes a day, can help your heart. Physical activity improves your mood while you’re doing it. Regular physical activity can also improve your mental well-being, lower the risk of depression and improve your life quality.
Thirdly, make healthy lifestyle changes one at a time. 4 That’s especially true if one of the habits you want to break is smoking. Quitting smoking can be difficult. If you smoke, talk with your health care professional to determine if you need help.
Ultimately, you have to take care of yourself to break the cycle of feeling down. 5 Or it could be doing something structured, such as yoga or tai chi.
A.Don’t try to fix everything at once.
B.At times you may feel down for a couple of days.
C.Meanwhile, choose healthy habits and don’t rush it.
D.It is important to stay heart healthy, even when you’re down.
E.Over time, these unhealthy behaviors can increase the risk for heart disease.
F.That could be something you can do anywhere, such as listening to music or reading a book.
G.Depression and anxiety can also lead to heart diseases, including heart failure, stroke and heart attack.
(23-24高二上·河北石家庄·期中)How to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 1 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
2 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
3
Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触) with other people. 4 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.
A.People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
B.Be friendly to others.
C.Join afterschool activities you like.
D.Making new friends can be hard, too.
E.Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!
F.If you see someone you know, smile or say “Hi”.
G.Never change who you are to try and fit in.
(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)As an English learner, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence?” That is a great question. 1 Today, we have several pieces of advice to help you.
Every day, the most important person you talk to is yourself. That’s to say, your own thoughts matter. If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may say things like, “English is too hard” “I’m so sorry for my English.” What’s worse, you are sure to start believing them. 2
To sound more confident, speak slowly enough so that people can easily hear you. Many English learners worry that speaking too slow will make them sound inexperienced. 3 So avoid worrying that you are speaking too slow for the people around you.
4 If you are not confident, you may try to say as little as possible. For example, if asked what people’s favorite color is, an English learner may give a short, direct response like, “blue”, while a native English speaker is likely to say, “Well, to be quite honest, I don’t really have an actual color, but I guess I may go for something like blue or grey.”
Read out loud. Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds. So next time you are reading a website, book or something else that you enjoy, take a few minutes to read the material aloud. Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speakers as you read alone silently. 5 Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.
A.But you are more likely to make mistakes if speaking too fast.
B.Then, speak loudly enough that anyone in the same room can easily hear you.
C.So replace unhelpful thoughts with better ones when speaking.
D.Using long sentences shows that you speak English confidently.
E.Then, try to read the story out alone.
F.Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible.
G.Whatever language we are learning, we would all love to speak confidently.
(22-23高二上·湖北恩施·期中)Traveling is an enriching experience that offers numerous benefits, especially for high school students. Exploring new places and immersing oneself in different cultures can broaden horizons, foster personal growth, and provide valuable education al opportunities 1 , traveling has the power to shape young minds and leave lasting impressions.
First and foremost, traveling exposes students to new cultures and perspectives 2 By encountering different languages, traditions, and customs, students develop tolerance, empathy, and appreciation for diversity. They learn to respect and embrace differences, which is a crucial skill in today’s interconnected global society.
Furthermore, travel provides unique education al opportunities that cannot be copied in a classroom setting. 3 Science becomes concrete when observing wildlife in its natural habitat or engaging in ecological projects Art and literature gain new perspectives when exposed to different artistic styles and literary traditions. Students can become active learners, connecting what they have studied with real-life experiences.
4 It encourages students to step outside their comfort zones and face challenges independently. They learn to navigate unfamiliar environments, make decisions, and take responsibility for their actions. These experiences foster independence, self-confidence, and adaptability, qualities that will serve them well throughout their lives.
In conclusion, traveling offers high school students immense benefits. It broadens their perspectives, provides educational opportunities, promotes personal growth, and create s lasting memories and friendships.

E.History comes alive when visiting ancient ruins or exploring significant landmarks
F.So, pack your bags, set off on a journey, and let the world become your classroom
G.It allows them to step out of their comfort zones and gain a deeper understanding of the world around them
(23-24高二上·北京·期中)There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers.
Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. 1 The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer.
Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today 2 When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead.
Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. 3
Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. 4 Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system?
5 Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another.
A.Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.
B.You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.
C.It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family.
D.The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.
E.People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves.
F.If you’re not sure what will work, ask.
G.Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.
(23-24高二上·湖北襄阳·期中)Stay safe in the sun
Summer is the ideal time to be outside having fun in the fresh air and sunshine. Sunlight can boost your vitamin D levels, which keeps your bones, teeth and muscles healthy. 1 However, from late spring to early autumn, the sun’s rays are stronger and can damage skin and make you feel unwell.
It’s of vital importance to protect yourself from the sun’s powerful rays. Everyone needs to take caution in the sun. 2 In strong sunshine the body can heat up quickly, and this can mean you sweat and lose a lot of water. This can make your body lose water, which can cause headaches, a dry mouth, tiredness, dizziness and fainting.
3 It’s wise to wear a hat and apply sunscreen with SPF50 (sun protection factor 50) while in the sun. However, sweat and swimming can wash off sunscreen. It’s advisable to apply more throughout the day repeatedly. Never look directly at the sun even though wearing sunglasses. Be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Sunburnt skin is red, hot to touch, can feel sore and itchy, and even may blister. 4 Don’t put ice on it, and try not to scratch peeling skin. It’s important to tell an adult straight away if you feel unwell.
It’s sensible to be careful but playing in the sun is also good for your mood and your health. 5
A.So, head out and have fun.
B.Thus, avoid being exposed to sunshine.
C.You’d better rush to the hospital and consult a doctor.
D.And the paler your skin, the more protection you need.
E.Being outside on a sunny day can also make you feel good.
F.If sunburnt, wash your skin in cold water and apply after-sun cream.
G.You can’t have fun in the sun without taking measures to protect yourself.
(23-24高二上·甘肃天水·期中)How to Become a Lifelong Learner
There are no age limits when it comes to education. Being a lifelong learner is all about maintaining your curiosity and love for learning. 1
Identify your learning style. Everyone has a preferred way to approach information. Determine your own favorite learning style. 2 Make use of them as much as practical, such as viewing online tutorials on websites if you’re more of a visual learner.
Read every single day. 3 Reading is an entrance to the minds of your fellow human beings. Through reading you will be amazed by the incredible creativity, intelligence of the human species. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone ahead of you.
Create something. Flexing your creative muscles can help you learn about yourself. 4 In fact, some powerful learning happens when you are creating something for yourself. Creation, like intelligence, can be artistic or scientific; physical or intellectual.
Teach others. Teaching is a wonderful way to learn a subject better and improve your own understanding of it. Conveying the information you absorb will help you process better. 5 In teaching others how to learn things, you will find that you learn even more than the students.
As a saying goes, it is never too late to learn, so we should persist in lifelong learning.
A.Not all learning comes from outside you.
B.Joseph Joubert once said that “To teach is to learn twice.”
C.Here are some ways that you can keep chasing knowledge.
D.Note what learning techniques are the most efficient for you.
E.Even if it’s just a few pages, the habit will help you learn a ton.
F.By equipping students with tools, teachers are helping them with their futures.
G.Some people understand information better when it’s presented in a visual way.

(23-24高二上·湖北·期中)Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective. 1 They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health. If you’re ready for your fault, here are four key s to apologizing well.
1. 2
Apologies are better late than early, says Cindy Hantz, a social psychologist who has researched how timing influences apology effectiveness. “What we found is that people usually tend to offer an apology as soon as possible,” she says. “It’s an effort to shut the whole incident down. You can’t deliver an effective apology until the injured person believes that you fully understand what you did wrong. If the apology comes before that, it’s not going to be seen as sincere.”
2. Accept responsibility.
Why should you apologize if you’re both at fault? 2 “But I like to encourage people to really focus on taking responsibility for the parts of the conflict that they’re responsible for.” Schumann says. Calling attention to the fact that we’re also hurt is normal, but save it for later on in the conversation.
3. Be clear about how you plan to repair things.
One of the core elements of an apology is making reparations. That will be possible in a direct way: You broke their favorite wineglass? Buy them a new one. Spilled coffee on their new dress? Pay for the dry cleaning. 3 It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future.
4. Don’t expect forgiveness.
An apology is a starting point. Particularly with severe faults, the person wronged will often need time and space to heal. Schumann suggests saying like this: “I understand this isn’t going to fix everything, and I want to continue to do whatever I can to make up for my mistake. I hope that even if you’re not ready to forgive me, 4 ”
A.Don’t rush into it.
B.Start with specific words.
C.it’s important not to pressure them.
D.That’s exactly the problem many people struggle with.
E.you’re open to working with me to get us to a point where we can move forward.
F.Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward.
G.But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it.
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.D 4.F 5.E
【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章大意是讲述了道歉的重要性和如何有效地进行道歉,包括四个关键步骤:不要急于道歉、承担责任、清晰地说明你打算如何修复问题、以及不要期待立即被原谅。
1.根据上文“Apologizing is how we live in peace with others, yet few of us know how to do it well — and not defensively. Just as often, apologies don’t happen at all out of fear that they’ll be uncomfortable or ineffective.(道歉是我们如何与他人和平相处的方式,但我们很少有人知道如何做好这一点——而不是防御性地。同样常见的是,出于害怕道歉会让人不舒服或无效,道歉根本不会发生。)”以及下文“They help solidify(使变稳固) relationships and mend trust, both of which can lower stress and improve mental health.(它们有助于巩固关系和修复信任,这两者都可以降低压力并改善心理健康。)”可知,真诚的道歉对双方都有好处,与G项“But sincere apologies bring a host of benefits to the person delivering the message and the one receiving it.(但是,真诚的道歉给传递信息的人和接收信息的人都带来了一系列好处。)”表达的含义一致,下文中的“they”指代G项中的“sincere apologies”。故选G项。

4.根据下文“It’s important for the other person to hear that this is not going to continue... and they can trust you to improve your behavior in the future.(让对方听到这种情况不会继续下去是很重要的……他们可以相信你会在未来改进你的行为。)”可知,有时候道歉是为了考虑未来的关系,与F项“Sometimes you can’t repair what’s happened, but you can think about the relationship moving forward.(有时候你无法修复已经发生的事情,但你可以考虑未来的关系。)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。

(22-23高二上·河南郑州·期中)A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in confusion. So I decide to follow in the footsteps of the great American “philosopher”, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days. The idea is actually pretty simple. Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. It turns out, 1 —like watching the news.
There are a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, 2 . I went from a desk-dwelling computer nerd (书呆子) to the kind of guy who bikes to work. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
3 . Have you ever wanted to write a novel? Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel. It turns out that all you have to do is to write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, they were easier to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges. 4 . But they are more difficult to stick.
So what are you waiting for? 5 , so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days?
A.I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days
B.In fact, they’re a ton of fun
C.In fact, I think they’re not practical
D.I renewed myself while sticking to the challenge
E.I wanted to do something for the first time in my life
F.The next 30 days is going to pass whether you like it or not
G.30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or get rid of a habit

(23-24高二上·河北石家庄·期中)What do you do when you receive an invitation to an event that you do not want to attend or that you cannot attend due to your busy schedule? In that case, we simply can’t act on everything our heart feels. 1 Here are some right ways to decline (拒绝) an invitation without hurting others’ feelings.
Respond in a timely manner.
2 It’s OK to put off responding if you’re unsure at first, but give yourself a deadline to figure it out — and stick to it. Always respond to invitations in a timely manner.
3 .
It’s OK to say you’re sorry that you can’t make an event, but it’s better to redefine it as a positive. Rather than apologizing, say how happy you are that they invited you and that while you can’t make it this time, you look forward to getting together with them in the future.
Don’t say “maybe”.
Procrastinating (拖延) by saying “maybe” usually means it’s a no. 4 Saying “maybe” is a way of making yourself feel better, but it leaves the other person hanging, which is unkind.
Don’t try to control the other person’s feelings.
There’s the assumption that we can decline without hurting anyone else’s feelings, but we can’t ensure the other person’s experience. They may feel sad or disappointed when you decline, but that’s OK. 5
A.Focus on the positive.
B.Be honest but not too honest.
C.Don’t leave the hoot hanging.
D.It’s fine to decline via digital means.
E.Most people will understand that life just gets busy.
F.If that’s really what you mean, just go ahead and say no.
G.Instead, we should learn how to politely say “no” to an invitation.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.A 4.F 5.E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。介绍了如何礼貌地拒绝别人的邀请。
1.前文“What do you do when you receive an invitation to an event that you do not want to attend or that you cannot attend due to your busy schedule? In that case, we simply can’t act on everything our heart feels.(当你收到一个你不想参加的活动的邀请,或者由于你的日程繁忙而无法参加,你该怎么办?在这种情况下,我们根本不能按照我们内心的感觉去做)”表示当我们收到一个不想参加的邀请时,不能按照内心的想法去执行,后文“Here are some right ways to decline (拒绝) an invitation without hurting others’ feelings.(这里有一些拒绝邀请而不伤害别人感情的正确方法)”引出下文一些正确的拒绝方法;G选项“相反,我们应该学会如何礼貌地拒绝邀请”与前文进行转折,引出下文主题。故选G。
2.小标题“Respond in a timely manner.(及时回复)”表示应及时回复,后文“It’s OK to put off responding if you’re unsure at first, but give yourself a deadline to figure it out — and stick to it.(如果你一开始不确定,可以推迟回答,但给自己一个最后期限来弄清楚——并坚持下去)”表示可以在有限的截止时期进行推迟回复;C选项“别让主人久等”符合本段主旨。故选C。
3.空处为小标题,后文“It’s OK to say you’re sorry that you can’t make an event, but it’s better to redefine it as a positive.(说你很抱歉你不能参加一个活动是可以的,但最好把它重新定义为积极的)”表示要用积极的方法拒绝对方的邀请,A选项“Focus on the positive.(关注积极的一面)”符合本段主旨。故选A。
4.前文“Procrastinating (拖延) by saying “maybe” usually means it’s a no.(拖延说“也许”通常意味着不)”,F选项“如果你真的是这个意思,那就直接拒绝吧”表示要说清楚,不要用“也许”表示拒绝,符合本段小标题“Don’t say “maybe”.(不要说“也许”)”,语境一致。故选F。
5.前文“They may feel sad or disappointed when you decline, but that’s OK.(当你拒绝时,他们可能会感到悲伤或失望,但没关系)”表示别人也许因为我们的拒绝悲伤或者失望,但是这是没有关系的,E选项“大多数人都会明白,生活就是变得忙碌”表示原因,表示大多数人会理解你的拒绝。故选E。

(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)If you’re a perfectionist, that might mean you can be pretty hard on yourself. A mistake at work, for example, could result in some pretty negative self-talk or actions, like depriving yourself of a snack later that day. 1
But self-punishment doesn’t encourage growth, says Katherine, a psychotherapist and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control.” 2 “When you punish someone, that person doesn’t learn how to change; they learn how to avoid the source of the punishment.”
3 This might look like overworking, overspending, or numbing yourself with excessive consumption of social media or TV shows. None of this actually helps you grow, though.
Instead of punishing yourself for making a mistake, it is more effective to practice self-compassion(自我同情). Katherine suggests the broaden-and-build theory, a positive psychology theory that was developed by social psychologist Barbara in 1998.
Broaden-and-build theory suggests that when you’re in a positive headspace you feel more able to face different challenges and make choices based on the possibility of positive outcomes. When you’re in a negative headspace your view narrows and you aren’t inspired or encouraged to think differently. 4
Research demonstrates self compassion’s positive association with a greater sense of self-worth, more realistic self-evaluations of strengths and weaknesses, lower levels of depression and anxiety. 5 Choosing self-compassion instead of self-punishment means you are more likely to learn from your mistakes and grow as a person.
A.In other words, you’re punishing yourself.
B.“Punishment doesn’t work.” she writes in her book.
C.To put yourself in a positive headspace, you need to practice self-compassion.
D.If you are the source of your own punishment then you learn to avoid yourself.
E.Punishment can be mistaken for a handful of things like discipline, personal responsibility.
F.It is also related with increased motivation to learn from past mistakes, and the list goes on.
G.Instead of being scared to act natural consequence might encourage you to act in a way leading to a positive result.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如果你是一个完美主义者,这可能意味着你对自己很苛刻。与其因为犯错而惩罚自己,不如练习自我同情。

(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to decode dogs’ behaviour.
1. If your dog looks remorseful (羞愧的) when you walk in the door and see a mess…
They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that ”guilty” look to the test in 2009. 1 Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty.
2. If your dog licks their mouth…
They’re stressed Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. 2 The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. 3
3. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down…
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed triggers range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. 4 Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
4. If your dog leans into you during a petting session…
They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then gauge their reaction. This is called a consent test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. 5 Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin.
A.You could also discuss medication with your vet.
B.It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
C.However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more cuddles, continue!
D.If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done.
E.Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting.
F.One found that it was a canine response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen
G.In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner.
【答案】1.G 2.F 3.B 4.D 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就狗的一些常见肢体语言进行解释说明。
1.由上文“They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that “guilty” look to the test in 2009. (它们期待惩罚,但不一定知道它们做错了。纽约市巴纳德学院教授亚历山德拉·霍洛维茨的研究重点是犬类的认知,她在2009年对这种“内疚”的表情进行了测试。)”和后文“Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty. (剑桥大学随后的研究发现,没有证据表明狗甚至会感到内疚。)”可知,本空要说跟“狗感到内疚的原因”有关的话题,故G选项“In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner. (最终,这与狗是否违法无关,而是与被主人斥责有关。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。

(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person. Einstein learned from making mistakes
1 He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencil. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.
2
Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too. Einstein considered time to be important
He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 3 He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time. Einstein liked to joke too
In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 4
When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 5 So, never be discouraged!
A.Einstein was also very modest.
B.What a humorous person he is!
C.Einstein was also strict with his students.
D.Give students a chance to correct their mistakes.
E.That’s why he never remembered his own phone number.
F.If we ever feel like giving up when we have problems, we should think of him.

2.根据本段“Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too.(许多孩子写信请他帮忙做作业。有一天,他给一个小女孩写了一封信,告诉她不要担心她的数学作业,因为他认为数学也很难)”可知,本段讲最伟大的科学家爱因斯坦也认为数学也很难,说明他谦虚的品质,A项“Einstein也非常谦虚”,故选A。
3.根据上文“He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it.(他还认为记住书上的东西是不值得的)”可知,爱因斯坦认为书上的东西不值得去记, E项“这就是为什么他从不记得自己的电话号码”承接上文,爱因斯坦认为书上的东西不值得去记,所以他从不记自己的电话号码。故选E。
4.由小标题“Einstein liked to joke too(爱因斯坦也喜欢开玩笑)”和“In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different.(在一次考试中,一个学生问爱因斯坦为什么所有的问题都和去年的一样。爱因斯坦回答的问题都一样,但答案不同)”可知,本段主要是通过事例说明爱因斯坦很幽默,B项“他是一个多么幽默的人啊”承接上文讲爱因斯坦拥有幽默感。故选B。

Thirdly, make healthy lifestyle changes one at a time. 4 That’s especially true if one of the habits you want to break is smoking. Quitting smoking can be difficult. If you smoke, talk with your health care professional to determine if you need help.

(23-24高二上·河北石家庄·期中)How to make friends at a new school
Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything seems to be different, and you don’t even know where to go for your own classes. 1 However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.
Be yourself.
2 If some people don’t accept you, they’re not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sport may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.
3
Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!
Believe in yourself.
A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don’t keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (目光接触) with other people. 4 Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you’re from.
Remember people’s names.
You like it when people use your name, and so do other people. 5 Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname (昵称). You’d be surprised how often this might come in handy.
A.People may become angry if you just begin by saying “Hey” each time.
B.Be friendly to others.
C.Join afterschool activities you like.
D.Making new friends can be hard, too.
E.Don’t sit at the back of the classroom where other people don’t notice you!

(23-24高二上·浙江杭州·期中)As an English learner, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence?” That is a great question. 1 Today, we have several pieces of advice to help you.
Every day, the most important person you talk to is yourself. That’s to say, your own thoughts matter. If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may say things like, “English is too hard” “I’m so sorry for my English.” What’s worse, you are sure to start believing them. 2
To sound more confident, speak slowly enough so that people can easily hear you. Many English learners worry that speaking too slow will make them sound inexperienced. 3 So avoid worrying that you are speaking too slow for the people around you.
4 If you are not confident, you may try to say as little as possible. For example, if asked what people’s favorite color is, an English learner may give a short, direct response like, “blue”, while a native English speaker is likely to say, “Well, to be quite honest, I don’t really have an actual color, but I guess I may go for something like blue or grey.”
Read out loud. Reading out loud can help build confidence in how your English sounds. So next time you are reading a website, book or something else that you enjoy, take a few minutes to read the material aloud. Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speakers as you read alone silently. 5 Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.
A.But you are more likely to make mistakes if speaking too fast.
B.Then, speak loudly enough that anyone in the same room can easily hear you.
C.So replace unhelpful thoughts with better ones when speaking.
D.Using long sentences shows that you speak English confidently.
E.Then, try to read the story out alone.
F.Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible.
G.Whatever language we are learning, we would all love to speak confidently.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.A 4.F 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些建议以帮助我们更加自信地说英语。
1.根据上文“As an English learner, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence?” That is a great question.(作为一个英语学习者,我们有时会遇到这样的问题:“我怎样才能更自信地说英语?”这是个好问题。)”可知,作为英语学习者,我们很想知道如何更自信地说英语。选项G“Whatever language we are learning, we would all love to speak confidently.(不管我们学什么语言,我们都喜欢自信地说。)”延续上文内容,指出每个语言学习者都想自信地说这种语言;同时引出下一句“Today, we have several pieces of advice to help you.(今天,我们有几条建议来帮助你。)”,起承上启下的作用。故选G。
2.根据上文内容“Every day, the most important person you talk to is yourself. That’s to say, your own thoughts matter. If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may say things like, “English is too hard” “I’m so sorry for my English.” What’s worse, you are sure to start believing them.(每天,你交谈的最重要的人就是你自己。也就是说,你自己的想法很重要。如果你对说英语缺乏信心,你可能会说,“英语太难了”,“我很抱歉我的英语。”更糟糕的是,你肯定会开始相信这些话。)”可知,本段讲述的是自己的想法非常重要。而空前内容则指出,缺乏自信会带来糟糕的后果。选项C“So replace unhelpful thoughts with better ones when speaking.(所以说话的时候,用好的想法代替无用的想法。)”点明本段主要内容,指出消极的想法会有糟糕的后果,所以我们应该用好的想法代替不好的想法。故选C。
3.根据空前内容“English learners worry that speaking too slow will make them sound inexperienced.(许多英语学习者担心说得太慢会让他们听起来缺乏经验。)”可知,很多人都担心自己说得太慢会让别人觉得自己缺乏经验。选项A“But you are more likely to make mistakes if speaking too fast.(但是如果你说得太快,你就更容易出错。)”与上文形成转折,同时指出说得慢可能会让别人觉得自己缺乏经验,但是说得太快容易出错。从而因此下文“So avoid worrying that you are speaking too slow for the people around you.(所以不要担心你对周围的人说得太慢。)”。故选A。
4.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“If you are not confident, you may try to say as little as possible. For example, if asked what people’s favorite color is, an English learner may give a short, direct response like, “blue”, while a native English speaker is likely to say, “Well, to be quite honest, I don’t really have an actual color, but I guess I may go for something like blue or grey.”(如果你不自信,你可能会尽量少说话。例如,如果被问到人们最喜欢的颜色是什么,英语学习者可能会给出一个简短而直接的回答,比如“蓝色”,而母语为英语的人可能会说,“嗯,说实话,我真的没有具体的颜色,但我想我可能会喜欢蓝色或灰色之类的颜色。”)”可知,不自信的时候,我们会尽可能少说话,但是说英语的人会说比较长的句子。由此可判断,本段主要建议读者说长句子。选项F“Speak in complete sentences and give longer responses when possible.(用完整的句子说话,尽可能给出较长的回答。)”与本段内容相符,指出用完整的句子说话会让我们自信地说英语。故选F。
5.根据空前“Before reading aloud, read the story silently first. The second time, if there is audio, you can listen to the speakers as you read alone silently. (在大声朗读之前,先默读故事。第二次,如果有音频,你可以在独自阅读时听扬声器。)”以及空后“Then, try listening to the speaker and reading out loud at the same time.(然后,试着一边听录音一边大声朗读。)”可知,上下文主要讲述的是如何进行朗读。选项E“Then, try to read the story put alone.(然后,试着单独阅读这个故事。)”与上下文内容一致,指出我们先默读故事,再听音频,再次阅读,最后一边听录音一边大声朗读。故选E。

(23-24高二上·北京·期中)There’s nothing like family. The people we’re related to by blood and marriage are expected to be our greatest sources of love and support. Too often, however, our interactions with family are filled with misunderstanding and resentment. Those we should know and be known by best, end up feeling like adversaries or strangers.
Family is where our first and strongest emotional memories are made, and that’s where they keep appearing. And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. 1 The suggestions offered below are transformed from familiar reasonable advice, to highly effective methods for bringing your family ever closer.
Look to yourself first. A family is a system made up of interdependent individuals, but that doesn’t mean you can blame your family of origin for the way you are today 2 When you act on the belief that you have a right and obligation to assert your own emotional needs, your family will notice that your emotional independence benefits not only you, but the whole family, and they may quickly follow your lead.
Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones. Sometimes family ties blind us to the uniqueness of those we love. Pride in the family continuum can make it easy to forget that. You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. 3
Cherish every stage of life in each family member. No matter how well we understand that it can’t happen, we desperately want Mom and Dad to stay the way they are, and for the kids to stay home forever. 4 Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities. What can you and your parents share now that wasn’t possible in the past? Can you keep having fun and make sure everyone still feels useful and worthy in the family support system?
5 Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past. Maybe your parents are just waiting for your cue. Feel them out. In a flexible, healthy family dynamic, change is just one of the many opportunities you have to enrich one another.
A.Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.
B.You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.
C.It’s also important to keep your awareness active with family.
D.The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.
E.People all change, and yet many seem to only see change in themselves.
F.If you’re not sure what will work, ask.
G.Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.B 4.D 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何提高家庭和谐的重要性,以及如何通过情商来实现这一目标。
1.根据前文“And this is why emotional intelligence(EQ)succeeds where other efforts at family harmony fail. (这就是为什么情商(EQ)能成功,而其他家庭和谐的努力却失败了。)”可知,此处强调的是情商能够有助于家庭和谐。后文应该对此进行解释。G选项“Active awareness and empathy tell us how to respond to one another’s needs.(积极的意识和同理心告诉我们如何回应彼此的需求。)”中的“积极的意识和同理心”能够告诉我们如何回应家庭成员的需求,其属于EQ的具体体现,因此EQ能够有助于家庭和谐,与前文呼应。故选G。
2.根据前文“Look to yourself first. (先看看你自己)”可知,此处强调的是从自己着手,不要把今天自己的样子归咎于原生家庭。A选项“Your best hope for fixing any family problem is to attend your own emotional health.(解决家庭问题的最大希望是关注自己的情绪健康。)”中“关注自己的情绪健康”与前文呼应,即关注自己的情绪问题是能够解决家庭问题的最大希望。故选A。
3.根据本段段旨“Recognize that being close doesn’t mean being clones.(认识到亲密并不意味着克隆人。)”以及“You can’t be expected to have the same talents as your siblings, even though you may look a lot alike. (即使你和你的兄弟姐妹长得很像,你也不能指望拥有和他们一样的才能。)”可知,虽然与兄弟姐妹有着亲密的关系,但不意味着你们是一样的。B选项“You won’t necessarily choose to follow in parent’s footsteps.( 你并不一定会选择追随父母的脚步。)”承接前文指出,虽然家人们是亲密的,但是不一定会有着同样的才能,也不一定会选择追随亲人的脚步,故B选项符合语境。故选B。
4.根据后文“ Accept the natural fear that your parents’ aging evokes but use your emotional awareness and empathy to figure out how you can cherish this moment for its unique qualities.(接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧,但运用你的情感意识和同理心,想想如何珍惜这一刻,因为它的独特品质。)”可知要学会接受父母变老带来的自然恐惧,运用情感意识和同理心珍惜当下的一刻。D选项“The best to accept that fact emotionally, is to embrace change.(从情感上接受这个事实的最好方式,就是拥抱改变。)”引起下文,指出最好的方式就是要接受改变,与下文的“ Accept the natural fear”形成呼应,符合语境。故选D。
5.根据下文“Fully accepting your fear of change can make it easier to ask questions that you may have considered awkward in the past.(充分接受自己对变化的恐惧可能会让你更容易提出过去可能认为尴尬的问题。)”可知,此处强调接受变化的恐惧,能够让自己更能大胆地提出问题即强调大胆的提出问题,确定到底何种方式起作用。F选项“If you’re not sure what will work, ask.(如果你不确定什么会起作用,那就去问。)”与下文呼应,指出如果遇到不确定什么起作用则大胆询问,符合语境。故选F。
(23-24高二上·湖北襄阳·期中)Stay safe in the sun
Summer is the ideal time to be outside having fun in the fresh air and sunshine. Sunlight can boost your vitamin D levels, which keeps your bones, teeth and muscles healthy. 1 However, from late spring to early autumn, the sun’s rays are stronger and can damage skin and make you feel unwell.
It’s of vital importance to protect yourself from the sun’s powerful rays. Everyone needs to take caution in the sun. 2 In strong sunshine the body can heat up quickly, and this can mean you sweat and lose a lot of water. This can make your body lose water, which can cause headaches, a dry mouth, tiredness, dizziness and fainting.
3 It’s wise to wear a hat and apply sunscreen with SPF50 (sun protection factor 50) while in the sun. However, sweat and swimming can wash off sunscreen. It’s advisable to apply more throughout the day repeatedly. Never look directly at the sun even though wearing sunglasses. Be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Sunburnt skin is red, hot to touch, can feel sore and itchy, and even may blister. 4 Don’t put ice on it, and try not to scratch peeling skin. It’s important to tell an adult straight away if you feel unwell.
It’s sensible to be careful but playing in the sun is also good for your mood and your health. 5
A.So, head out and have fun.
B.Thus, avoid being exposed to sunshine.
C.You’d better rush to the hospital and consult a doctor.
D.And the paler your skin, the more protection you need.
E.Being outside on a sunny day can also make you feel good.
F.If sunburnt, wash your skin in cold water and apply after-sun cream.
G.You can’t have fun in the sun without taking measures to protect yourself.
【答案】1.E 2.D 3.G 4.F 5.A

(23-24高二上·甘肃天水·期中)How to Become a Lifelong Learner
There are no age limits when it comes to education. Being a lifelong learner is all about maintaining your curiosity and love for learning. 1
Identify your learning style. Everyone has a preferred way to approach information. Determine your own favorite learning style. 2 Make use of them as much as practical, such as viewing online tutorials on websites if you’re more of a visual learner.
Read every single day. 3 Reading is an entrance to the minds of your fellow human beings. Through reading you will be amazed by the incredible creativity, intelligence of the human species. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone ahead of you.
Create something. Flexing your creative muscles can help you learn about yourself. 4 In fact, some powerful learning happens when you are creating something for yourself. Creation, like intelligence, can be artistic or scientific; physical or intellectual.
Teach others. Teaching is a wonderful way to learn a subject better and improve your own understanding of it. Conveying the information you absorb will help you process better. 5 In teaching others how to learn things, you will find that you learn even more than the students.
As a saying goes, it is never too late to learn, so we should persist in lifelong learning.
A.Not all learning comes from outside you.
B.Joseph Joubert once said that “To teach is to learn twice.”
C.Here are some ways that you can keep chasing knowledge.
D.Note what learning techniques are the most efficient for you.
E.Even if it’s just a few pages, the habit will help you learn a ton.
F.By equipping students with tools, teachers are helping them with their futures.
G.Some people understand information better when it’s presented in a visual way.
