Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (诱饵) on the end of a fishing pole. 16 The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organised creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions. 17 Earthworms literally move the earth, and this is why farmers love them. As they travel, they aerate (使透气) the soil by loosening, mixing and oxygenating it. 18 They are effectively a small but very efficient plough (犁). But it’s not just earthworms that deserve praise. In 2022, a group of scientists at the Margarita Salas Centre for Biological Research isolated enzymes (酶) found in wax worm saliva (唾液) which are plastic-eating. 19 It’s hoped that by producing these enzymes on an industry-level scale, we will have a more environmentally friendly way to reduce plastic pollution. 20 Bloodworms are small sea creatures which press themselves into the mud of the ocean floor. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara have been studying their jaws, which are made up of 10% copper proteins (铜蛋白) and are so strong that they last the worm’s entire five-year lifespan. Because of this research, engineers may start using the jaws as inspiration for the design and manufacture of materials like concrete. So, next time you see a worm, show it a little respect. They really are changing the world! A．So, what do worms do that is so great? B．Worms have a lifespan of a few months. C．And worms are even inspiring the building industry. D．It increases the ground’s capacity to hold and empty water. E．However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. F．Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. G．These can break down a very common plastic that normally breaks down over many years. 2.（2025·江苏省宿迁市高三上学期开学考试） Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 16 Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 17 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife. In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 18 For example, by analyzing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices. 19 By monitoring animals’ behavioral changes in real-time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life. Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species. 20 This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on. A．This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions. B．However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals. C．AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods. D．The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation. E．Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience. F．The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork. G．With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks. 3.（江苏省七校联盟2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次联考） Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet. 16 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 17 While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 18 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game. 19 To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 20 A．Practice makes perfect. B．You are standing up straight. C．You are loudly clearing your throat. D．Poor training may lead to poor results. E．The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. F．After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent. G．I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am. 4.（江苏省南通市海安市2024-2025学年高三上学期开学） Rock climbing has become a mainstream pleasure enjoyed by many. The natural world offers a thrilling adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. However, rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. As a result, they have generally suffered less human impact and the areas tend to be important sites for biodiversity. 16 With the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. 17 Giving nesting birds some place is what climbers can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. This information is usually available on climbing guidebooks. 18 If climbers spot a nest, try to leave a note and find a way to communicate this to the rest of the local climbing community. Some cliff- specialist plant species have very narrow ranges. If a suitable habitat is rare, they have few opportunities to grow elsewhere. However, climbers can remove vegetation and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before. 19 So climbers should keep the impact on vegetation in mind when developing new climbing routes. Even they can work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact on the plants. The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace. It is essential for climbers to know what they can do for the protection of the cliff ecosystem. 20 Please help those with less experience and knowledge by sharing the information about climbing and biodiversity damage! A．This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. B．And some organizations have an online database offered to check. C．Therefore, every climber is responsible for protecting the cliff ecosystem. D．Even climbers can ask the climbing gym to organise a discussion about this topic. E．Seemingly a straightforward way is to spread the word about these good practices. F．These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G．For example, 40% of sport climbing areas in Spain are found in nature protection areas. 5.（2025·江苏省淮安市高三开学考试） 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 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.”   19 You can switch out parts of the plan as you wish, and then export them to Google Docs or Gmail. 20 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. 6.（2025·江苏省部分学校高三上学期期初调研模拟测试） There are different ways to learn and grow, but all of them involve getting feedback about how you are doing. 16 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. 17 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. 18 However, making a habit of it takes the sting out of the experience and allows you to focus on what truly matters. 19 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. 20 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. 7.（2025·江苏省扬州市高邮市高三上学期10月月考） Since there are so many options available, it isn’t easy to select a good movie. Here are some tips to help you. If you want to select a great movie to watch, one of the things you need to do is consider the themes. 36 It is advisable to select a theme you would enjoy watching and choose a movie that has it. Another thing to consider when selecting a movie is its genre (体裁). Genres can be broken down into many categories, such as drama, comedy, action, and horror. 37 In that case, browsing through different genres can be an excellent way to find something that appeals to you. If you’re a fan of particular actors, you may want to watch their films. Or, if there are several well- known actors in a movie, that may be a sign that it’s worth checking out. However, it’s important to note the fact that a famed actor performing in a film doesn’t mean it’s actually good. 38 So, while considering an actor’s involvement can be helpful, it’s not always a deciding factor. 39 They inform you about the plots of films and give you a judgment about their quality. They aren’t hard to find. Not only are there sites dedicated to film reviews, but there are also general pop culture sites that contain film reviews. 40 They also give recommendations as well. A．It takes time to find the right film. B．You usually search for the right movie in a familiar genre. C．Film reviews can also be useful for selecting a good movie. D．Maybe you’re not sure what kind of movie you want to watch. E．Some movies featuring famous actors may be far from perfect. F．A movie may be about love, self- sacrifice, friendship, or justice. G．These websites don’t just tell you whether some films are worth watching. 8.（2025·江苏省盐城市五校联考高三上学期10月月考） Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 36 So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well. Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 37 Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). 38 Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep. 39 Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. 40 For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation. A．It can guarantee sufficient sleep. B．It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep. C．The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age. D．Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings. E．This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues. F．People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music. G．Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past. 9.（2025·江苏省苏州高三上学期期初学业质量阳光指标调研） How many times have you shrunk yourself because you fear being judged? There is a term in social psychology called the ‘spotlight effect’. 36 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. 37 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. 38 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. 39 . 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. 40 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.303 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. 10.（2025·江苏省如皋中学高三考试） Who can imagine life today without an Automated Teller Machine (ATM)? They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. 36 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. 37 The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. 38 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. 39 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 40 . Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A．Location, in particular, was a key factor. B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. 11.（2025·江苏省南通市名校联盟高三上学期八月模拟演练性月考） There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. 36 Not eating food dropped on a table I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. 37 Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it. No one walks on it, sits on it or throws garbage on it. Why is it considered so dirty?” We don’t get it. 38 Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor. Eating dessert before a meal Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. 39 Westerners would find that very strange. Drinking hot water with your meal Often, it has been my experience that many. Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water. 40 However, we westerners like cold water or cold drinks.235 A．Putting rice cookers on the floor. B．The following are just some of them C．Having noodles or rice every day. D．Americans do eat a lot of hamburgers. E．You can have ice cream before your meal. F．I’ve often heard that hot water is better for digestion than cold water. G．In the West, we clean our tabletops quite well. 12.（2025·江苏省淮安市涟水县第一中学高三段性检测） 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. 36 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. 37 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. 38 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. 39 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. 40 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. A．Focus on consistency. B．Make the exercise an enjoyable experience. C．Stand up from your chair, and then squat down without sitting down. D．If you are going to exercise while studying, just make sure to keep it gentle. E．Get up and take a fifteen-minute stroll around the building or around campus nearby. F．Physical activity also helps boost memory and recall, which is important when studying. G．Do low-impact gentle exercises, such as walking or swimming, at least 30 minutes a day. 13.（2025·江苏省常州联盟校高三月考） There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. 36 Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. 37 Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves. 38 For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. 39 However, you needn’t let it be the final word on what you need. Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” 40 A．The motto has meanings for humans, too. B．Change can have a great many benefits. C．Change takes a variety of different forms. D．You need to let them have their opinions. E．Animals get older and have more experiences. F．Actually, the significance of change might be overstated. G．That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change.

Silent, slimy and wriggling (扭动), you might think that worms are good for nothing except bait (诱饵) on the end of a fishing pole. (蠕虫是我们不知道自己需要的英雄吗？沉默、黏糊糊、蠕动着，你可能会认为蠕虫除了在鱼竿末端做诱饵外别无用处)”提到人们通常认为蠕虫没有特别的用处，后文段落具体介绍了蠕虫的大作用。因此E项“However, there is more to the humble worm than meets the eye. (然而，这条不起眼的蠕虫并不像我们看到的那么简单)”符合语境，指出蠕虫其实并不简单，和前文构成转折，引出后文段落内容。故选E。 17．前文“The British naturalist Charles Darwin said that no other animal has “played such an important part in the history of the world as these lowly organised creatures”. They have lived on Earth for 600 million years and have even survived five mass extinctions.

You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet. 16 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 17 While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 18 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game. 19 To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 20 A．Practice makes perfect. B．You are standing up straight. C．You are loudly clearing your throat. D．Poor training may lead to poor results.

The natural world offers a thrilling adventure through beautiful environments filled with wildlife. However, rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization. As a result, they have generally suffered less human impact and the areas tend to be important sites for biodiversity. 16 With the sport booming, the amazing biodiversity sustained by cliff ecosystems is under pressure. 17 Giving nesting birds some place is what climbers can do. The presence of climbers at the cliff where birds are nesting tends to cause them to abandon their chicks to starvation. Climbers should check in advance if there are any bird nesting restrictions. This information is usually available on climbing guidebooks. 18 If climbers spot a nest, try to leave a note and find a way to communicate this to the rest of the local climbing community. Some cliff- specialist plant species have very narrow ranges. If a suitable habitat is rare, they have few opportunities to grow elsewhere. However, climbers can remove vegetation and soil when establishing a route that has not been climbed before. 19 So climbers should keep the impact on vegetation in mind when developing new climbing routes. Even they can work with other route developers and conservationists to understand the potential impact on the plants. The number of climbers heading out to these cliffs is increasing at an astonishing pace. It is essential for climbers to know what they can do for the protection of the cliff ecosystem. 20 Please help those with less experience and knowledge by sharing the information about climbing and biodiversity damage! A．This can wipe out the cliff ecosystem that was there previously. B．And some organizations have an online database offered to check. C．Therefore, every climber is responsible for protecting the cliff ecosystem. D．Even climbers can ask the climbing gym to organise a discussion about this topic. E．Seemingly a straightforward way is to spread the word about these good practices. F．These data can then be accessed by scientists to avoid environmental issues on cliffs. G．For example, 40% of sport climbing areas in Spain are found in nature protection areas. 【答案】16．G 17．B 18．E 19．A 20．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“攀岩运动对悬崖生态系统及生物多样性的影响”这一主题展开，通过阐述攀岩活动对鸟类、植物等生物的影响，以及攀岩者可以采取的保护措施，来提醒和呼吁攀岩者关注并保护悬崖生态系统。 16．根据上文的“However, rock climbing happens in places that are generally hard to access and unsuitable for agricultural expansion and urbanization.

If you’re a fan of particular actors, you may want to watch their films. Or, if there are several well- known actors in a movie, that may be a sign that it’s worth checking out. However, it’s important to note the fact that a famed actor performing in a film doesn’t mean it’s actually good. 38 So, while considering an actor’s involvement can be helpful, it’s not always a deciding factor. 39 They inform you about the plots of films and give you a judgment about their quality. They aren’t hard to find. Not only are there sites dedicated to film reviews, but there are also general pop culture sites that contain film reviews. 40 They also give recommendations as well. A．It takes time to find the right film. B．You usually search for the right movie in a familiar genre. C．Film reviews can also be useful for selecting a good movie. D．Maybe you’re not sure what kind of movie you want to watch. E．Some movies featuring famous actors may be far from perfect. F．A movie may be about love, self- sacrifice, friendship, or justice.

(一些有著名演员参演的电影可能远非完美。)”是对前一句的具体说明，能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 39．由下文“They inform you about the plots of films and give you a judgment about their quality. (它们告诉你电影的情节，并对你评价电影的质量。)”可知，本空应该是介绍电影评论的作用，故C选项“Film reviews can also be useful for selecting a good movie. (电影评论对于选择好电影也很有用。)”能够很好地引出下文，符合题意。故选C。 40．由上文“They aren’t hard to find. Not only are there sites dedicated to film reviews, but there are also general pop culture sites that contain film reviews. (不仅有专门的电影评论网站，还有一些包含电影评论的流行文化网站。)”和下文“They also give recommendations as well (他们也会给出建议。)”可知，此处应该说明这些网站提供的额外价值，故G选项“These websites don’t just tell you whether some films are worth watching. (这些网站不仅仅告诉你哪些电影值得一看。)”能够很好地连接上下文，符合题意。故选G。 8.（2025·江苏省盐城市五校联考高三上学期10月月考） Lying awake for hours before falling asleep is a common problem. Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether. 36 So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well. Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime. 37 Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能). 38 Besides, it can also promote sleep by becoming a healthy bedtime habit. Many people can’t fall asleep quickly because stressful and worrying thoughts keep them awake at night. By listening to music, the mind has something else to focus on. With time, the practice of listening to music at bedtime becomes more effective as the brain positively associates music with sleep. 39 Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep. What we do know is that researchers have typically used either a self-made playlist or one that has been designed especially with sleep in mind. One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences. 40 For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation. A．It can guarantee sufficient sleep. B．It’s natural to wonder about the best type of music for sleep. C．The quality and quantity of our sleep become poor as we age. D．Listening to music can reduce your stress and inspire positive feelings. E．This can have a serious effect on a person’s quality of life if it continues. F．People across age groups report better sleep quality after listening to soft music. G．Useful personal playlists may include relaxing songs that have helped with sleep in the past. 【答案】36．E 37．F 38．D 39．B 40．G 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了音乐可以改善睡眠，解释了背后的原因。 36．根据上文“Even if you can finally fall asleep, taking too long to fall asleep can lead to too few hours of sleep altogether.(即使你最终能睡着，花太长时间入睡也会导致睡眠时间太少)”以及后文“So people having trouble falling asleep always wonder how they can sleep well.(所以入睡困难的人总是想知道他们如何才能睡得好)”可知，本句承接上文，说明花太长时间入睡的情况对人们的影响，后文给出解决方案。故E选项“如果这种情况持续下去，会对一个人的生活质量产生严重的影响”符合语境，故选E。 37．根据上文“Parents know from experience that gentle music can help babies fall asleep. Science supports this, showing that children of all ages, from babies to elementary school children, sleep better after listening to comfortable music. Fortunately, children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from gentle music before bedtime.(父母从经验中知道轻柔的音乐可以帮助婴儿入睡。科学支持这一点，表明所有年龄段的孩子，从婴儿到小学生，在听了舒适的音乐后睡得更好。幸运的是，孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人)”可知，上文提到“孩子并不是唯一能从睡前轻柔的音乐中受益的人”，说明其他年龄段的人也可以从中受益。故F选项“各年龄段的人都说听轻音乐后睡眠质量更好”符合语境，故选F。 38．根据上文“Listening to music likely improves sleep for more than one reason. Music can promote sleep directly by affecting your physiology (生理机能).(听音乐可能改善睡眠的原因不止一个。音乐可以通过影响你的生理机能直接促进睡眠)”可知，本句具体说明音乐是如何影响生理机能促进睡眠的。故D选项“听音乐可以减轻你的压力，激发积极的情绪”符合语境，故选D。 39．根据后文“Studies have looked at many types of music and playlists but there isn’t a clear answer about the best music for sleep.(研究考察了许多类型的音乐和播放列表，但对于最适合睡眠的音乐，还没有一个明确的答案)”可知，本句与最适合睡觉的音乐类型有关，B选项type对应后文types。故B选项“想知道最适合睡觉的音乐类型是很自然的”符合语境，故选B。 40．根据上文“One of the most important things on how music affects a person’s body is their own musical preferences.(关于音乐如何影响一个人的身体，最重要的一点是他们自己的音乐偏好)”以及后文“For those who don’t want to design their own playlist, online music services have stepped in and usually offer playlists for sleep or relaxation.(对于那些不想设计自己的播放列表的人来说，在线音乐服务已经介入，通常提供睡眠或放松的播放列表)”可知，本句主要说明设计个人播放列表来促进睡眠。故G选项“有用的个人播放列表可能包括过去帮助睡眠的放松歌曲”符合语境，故选G。 9.（2025·江苏省苏州高三上学期期初学业质量阳光指标调研） How many times have you shrunk yourself because you fear being judged? There is a term in social psychology called the ‘spotlight effect’. 36 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. 37 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. 38 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. 39 . 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. 40 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.303 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. 【答案】36．F 37．G 38．D 39．B 40．E 【解析】本文的体裁属于说明文。文章通过探讨社会心理学中的“聚光灯效应”，鼓励读者不要过度在意他人的看法，要相信自己的能力和价值，并努力追求自己的目标和梦想。文章中还包含了许多自我激励和成长的建议，如保持自信、反思自己的优点、庆祝自己的长处等，旨在帮助读者建立积极的人生态度和自我认知。 36．由上文“There is a term in social psychology called the ‘spotlight effect’.

(会有很多人决定你不能做某事。)”进一步说明，会有很多人认为你做不到某事，但你不应该让他们影响你，能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 38．由下文“We tell ourselves “I can’t do this” or “I am not good enough” or “there is too much competition”. (我们告诉自己“我做不到”或“我不够好”或“竞争太激烈了”。)”可知，我们常常会自我怀疑，认为自己做不到或不够好，或者竞争太激烈，本空应概括下文我们因为害怕失败而倾向于保守行事的现象。D选项“A lot of us tend to play it safe because we fear failing. (我们很多人倾向于稳妥行事，因为我们害怕失败。)”正好解释了这种心态，能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。 39．由上文“Most importantly, remind yourself that confidence doesn’t happen in leaps.

They are available in considerable numbers throughout the world. The first ATM was the brainchild of an enterprising Turkish-American inventor Luther George Simjian. When the idea of an automated banking machine struck him, he registered 20 patents before any bank agreed to give it a trial run. It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank. 36 Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance. It was not until 1967, nearly 30 years later, that Barclays Bank, in a careful launch, rolled out a self-service machine in London, England, which proved successful. 37 The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside. 38 The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent. Experts quickly determined that public acceptance of ATMs counted on convenience, simplicity, speed, security and trust. 39 For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better. Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines. 40 . Public acceptance of deposits (存款) by machine was significantly slower than customers’ usage of ATMs for withdrawals. In general, it seems that customers sometimes still prefer and trust an over-the-counter transaction (交易) for deposits. A．Location, in particular, was a key factor. B．His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable. C．The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards. D．However, cash machines posed some interesting, unanswered questions. E．An interesting factor was the issue of bio-statistics for customer identification. F．Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions. G．Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．G 39．A 40．F 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了自动取款机(ATM)的发展历程和其在现代生活中的重要性。 36．根据上文“It is easy to assume that the inventor of such a popular machine was laughing all the way to the bank.(人们很容易认为，这样一台受欢迎机器的发明者一定赚得盆满钵满)”和下文“Within six months of its operation in New York in 1939, the device was removed due to lack of customer acceptance.(1939年，该设备在纽约运行了六个月后，由于缺乏客户接受，该设备被拆除)”可知，上下文有转折关系，B项“His cash machine, however, didn’t prove durable.(然而，他的取款机并没有经受住时间的考验)”承上启下，说明设想和现实有差距，引出下文第一台取款机的真实命运，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 37．下文“The first cash machine relied on customers’ use of prepaid tokens (代币) to get envelopes with a fixed amount of cash inside.(第一台自动取款机依靠顾客使用预付代币来获得装有固定数量现金的信封)”介绍了第一台自动取款机的工作原理：用预付代币来换取现金信封，是对C项“The device was relatively primitive, at least by today’s standards.(这个装置相对来说比较原始，至少以今天的标准来看是这样)”的说明，说明第一台自动取款机比较原始的工作原理，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 38．下文“The banks’ principle was seemingly customer service. But it would be foolish to minimize the many advantages that cash machines provided to the banks themselves. By the late 1970s, the highest fixed cost for the average large bank was its branches. The greatest variable cost and loss to profits were its staff. Bank accounts swiftly recognized that self-service operations could reduce bank branch staff cost by70 percent.(银行的原则似乎是客户服务。但是，低估自动取款机给银行自身带来的诸多好处是愚蠢的。到20世纪70年代末，大型银行的平均固定成本最高的是其分支机构。最大的可变成本和利润损失是它的员工。银行账户很快意识到，自助服务可以将银行分行的员工成本降低70%)”说明了自动取款机给银行带来的诸多好处，解释了G项“Soon afterwards, many other banks became admittedly champions of the cash machine.(不久之后，许多其他银行成为公认的自动提款机的拥护者)”中描述的这一现象，许多银行为了获益开始使用自动提款机，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 39．下文“For maximum efficiency, ATMs had to be located near public transport or in a shopping mall, not at a branch. The busier and more crowded the location, obviously, the better.(为了最大限度地提高效率，自动取款机必须设在公共交通附近或购物中心，而不是在分行。显然，地点越繁忙、越拥挤越好)”指出自动取款机需要设在公共交通附近或购物中心，是对A项“Location, in particular, was a key factor.(尤其是地理位置，是一个关键因素)”的举例说明，说明地理位置的重要作用。故选A项。 40．上文“Now, roughly 75 percent of all cash provided by banks to their customers comes from cash machines.(现在，银行提供给客户的现金中，大约75%来自自动取款机)”谈及自动取款机的普及和广泛使用，F项“Devices originally dismissed by the public are now recognized as essential institutions.(最初被公众忽视的设备现在被认为是不可或缺的设施)”承接上文，总结自动取款机命运的变化，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 11.（2025·江苏省南通市名校联盟高三上学期八月模拟演练性月考） There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. 36 Not eating food dropped on a table I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. 37 Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it. No one walks on it, sits on it or throws garbage on it. Why is it considered so dirty?” We don’t get it. 38 Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor. Eating dessert before a meal Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. 39 Westerners would find that very strange. Drinking hot water with your meal Often, it has been my experience that many. Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water. 40 However, we westerners like cold water or cold drinks.235 A．Putting rice cookers on the floor. B．The following are just some of them C．Having noodles or rice every day. D．Americans do eat a lot of hamburgers. E．You can have ice cream before your meal. F．I’ve often heard that hot water is better for digestion than cold water. G．In the West, we clean our tabletops quite well. 【答案】36．B 37．G 38．A 39．E 40．F 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几点中国和西方在饮食文化上的差异。 36．上文“There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand.(东西方之间有很多习惯上的差异，其中一些是中国的饮食习惯，许多西方人会觉得很难理解)”说明一些是中国的饮食习惯和西方不同，许多西方人会觉得很难理解。空处承接上文，并引出下文中将要列举的具体差异。B项“以下只是其中的一些”符合语境，该项中的“some of them”指代下文中西方人无法理解中国饮食习惯。故选B。 37．上文“I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it.(当我把食物扔在桌子上，然后捡起来吃的时候，我看到了人们脸上的厌恶)”说明在中国吃掉到桌子上的食物是会被人厌恶的。空处承接上文，解释西方人为什么无法理解的原因。G项中的tabletops和上文中的“on the table”相呼应，说明“在西方，桌子会被把桌面打扫得很好”。故选G。 38．下文“Westerners don’t want their food near the floor. Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice.I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor. (西方人不希望他们的食物靠近地板。灰尘、细菌等更有可能进入大米。我去过几家餐馆，我见过的几乎每个人都把电饭煲放在地板上)”说明本段主要介绍了西方人不想让食物靠近地板，而中国人是不在意的。所以A项“把电饭煲放在地板上。”适合作本段的标题。故选A。 39．上文“Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the r dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. (每个西方孩子的梦想都是住在中国，这样他/她就可以在吃主菜之前吃甜点。我不确定西方最后吃甜点的传统。在中国，这并不重要)”说明在中国，人们可以在主菜之前吃甜点，而在西方最后吃甜点的传统不确定。空处承接上文，E项中的“have ice cream before your meal”和标题“Eating dessert before a meal”相呼应，说明在中国，你可以在饭前吃冰淇淋。所以E项“你可以在饭前吃冰淇淋”符合语境。故选E。 40．标题“Drinking hot water with your meal(吃饭时喝热水)”以及“Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water.(中国人吃饭时不会喝（水、茶等）。但是，当他们这样做时，通常是热水)”说明中国人喜欢喝热水。空处承接上文，解释为什么中国人喜欢喝热水。F项中的“hot water is better for digestion than cold water.”和上文“it is usually hot water”相呼应，说明F项“我经常听说热水比冷水更有利于消化。”符合语境。故选F。 12.（2025·江苏省淮安市涟水县第一中学高三段性检测） 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. 36 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. 37 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. 38 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. 39 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. 40 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. A．Focus on consistency. B．Make the exercise an enjoyable experience. C．Stand up from your chair, and then squat down without sitting down. D．If you are going to exercise while studying, just make sure to keep it gentle. E．Get up and take a fifteen-minute stroll around the building or around campus nearby. F．Physical activity also helps boost memory and recall, which is important when studying. G．Do low-impact gentle exercises, such as walking or swimming, at least 30 minutes a day. 【答案】36．F 37．D 38．C 39．E 40．A 【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了体育活动对学习和大脑功能的影响，并提供了一些建议，如在学习时进行轻度运动、在桌边进行锻炼、休息时散步以及保持锻炼的一致性。 36．根据前文“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.(研究表明，体育活动可以提高精神警觉性和认知功能。锻炼后，你的大脑工作得更好，思维也更清晰)”可知，此处都在讲述运动对学习的好处，所以F项“Physical activity also helps boost memory and recall, which is important when studying.(体育活动也有助于提高记忆和回忆，这在学习时很重要)”也是讲述运动对学习的好处，其中的also承接上文，符合文意。故选F项。 37．根据前文“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.(一些研究表明，在学习时进行轻微的运动可以帮助回忆信息。这些研究发现，学习时剧烈运动可能会损害记忆，因为你的大脑专注于锻炼而不是信息)”可知，本段讲述学习的时候试着做一些轻微的运动，而不能作剧烈运动，所以D项“If you are going to exercise while studying, just make sure to keep it gentle.(如果你打算一边学习一边锻炼，一定要保持温和)”承接上文，符合本段主题。故选D项。 38．根据前文“Do some chair squats at your desk.(在办公桌前做一些椅子下蹲)”以及后文“Hover just above the chair for about 10 seconds. Repeat this 20 times.(在椅子上方停留大约10秒钟。重复20次)”可知，此处在讲述椅子下蹲的具体做法，所以C项“Stand up from your chair, and then squat down without sitting down.(从椅子上站起来，然后蹲下来，不要坐下)”符合此处主题，为椅子下蹲运动的具体做法。故选C项。 39．根据本段小标题“Take a walk on breaks.(休息时散散步)”可知，本段讲述学习中休息时，可以散散步，所以E项“Get up and take a fifteen-minute stroll around the building or around campus nearby.(站起来，绕着教学楼或附近的校园散步15分钟)”符合本段主题，其中后文“You can also do this if you are studying in your dorm or a coffee shop.(如果你在宿舍或咖啡店学习，你也可以这样做)”的do this指的就是空处讲述的绕着教学楼或附近的校园散步15分钟。故选E项。 40．分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“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.(每天坚持锻炼，结合你的学习和课程安排，比把150分钟的体育活动塞到周末更有效。一周中有规律的体育锻炼可以在你最需要的时候增强大脑功能——在你学习的时候——而不是把它隔离到周末)”可知，本段主要讲述了每天坚持锻炼，而不是把体育活动塞到周末，所以A项“Focus on consistency.(注重一致性)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选A项。 13.（2025·江苏省常州联盟校高三月考） There really is a lot of pressure on people to change these days. We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. 36 Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. 37 Instead of believing change is essentially necessary, we should consider why change is needed and what purpose it serves. 38 For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. 39 However, you needn’t let it be the final word on what you need. Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” 40 A．The motto has meanings for humans, too. B．Change can have a great many benefits. C．Change takes a variety of different forms. D．You need to let them have their opinions. E．Animals get older and have more experiences. F．Actually, the significance of change might be overstated. G．That way you can remind yourself that you are seeing a reason to change. 【答案】36．F 37．A 38．C 39．D 40．G 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了现代社会中普遍存在改变的压力，指出改变未必总是必要，人们应当学会接受自己的现状和感受。 36．空前“We are frequently told to change our opinions, attitudes, behaviors and directions. (我们经常被告知要改变我们的观点、态度、行为和方向。)”讨论了现代社会中人们被频繁告知需要改变的方方面面。空后“Instead of always striving to change to meet others’ expectations, perhaps people should focus on accepting themselves. (与其总是努力改变以满足他人的期望，也许人们应该专注于接受自己。)”提出了作者认为人们应该专注于接受自己而不是改变，由此可知，空处应讲述改变可能被过分强调了。选项F“实际上，改变的重要性可能被过分强调。”承上启下。故选F。 37．空前“There is an old saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new trick”, implying that change (i.e. teaching “new tricks”) is important but old dogs cannot make that change. (有一句老话：“你不能教老狗新把戏”，这意味着改变（即教“新把戏”）很重要，但老狗不能做出改变。)”中作者引用了一句俗语“You can’t teach an old dog new trick”并解释说老狗难以做出改变。选项A“这条格言对人类也有意义。”紧接在对俗语的解释之后，指出了这句话对人类的启示作用。故选A。 38．根据下文“For example, a situation where a person is being told they need to have a “more positive attitude” is different from a situation where a student is being told they need to stop shouting at others every day. Certainly the second one reflects a much clearer need for change than the first. (例如，一个人被告知他们需要有一个“更积极的态度”的情况与一个学生被告知他们需要停止每天对别人大喊大叫的情况不同。当然，第二个情况比第一个情况反映了更明确的变革需求。)”可知，下文列举了改变的不同形式，由此可知，空处应讲述不同情境下的改变有不同表现，选项C“改变有各种不同的形式。”符合题意。故选C。 39．前文“If others are telling you that you need to change, that does not mean they are wrong but also does not mean they are right. (如果别人告诉你你需要改变，这并不意味着他们错了，也不意味着他们是对的。)”讨论了当别人告诉你需要改变时，这并不意味着他们一定是对的，也不意味着他们一定是错的，选项D“你需要允许他们有他们的观点”呼应了前文的论述，强调了虽然要尊重他人的观点，并与下文“However, you needn’t let it be the final word on what you need. (然而，你不必让它成为你需要什么的最终决定。)”形成转折。故选D。 40．根据前文“Even if you decide to change because others are telling you they are bothered by how you are, it is still important to remind yourself that you are making the choice to change. You can take their opinions but still remind yourself, “I am looking to change because I do not want people to be upset at me, not because I have to.” (即使你决定改变是因为别人告诉你他们被你的现状所困扰，提醒自己你正在做出改变的选择仍然很重要。你可以接受他们的意见，但仍然提醒自己，“我想改变，因为我不想让人们对我感到沮丧，而不是因为我必须这样做。”)”可知，即使决定改变，也要提醒自己你是在主动选择改变。此处需要一个总结性的句子，强调个人选择改变的原因，选项G“这样你就可以提醒自己，你看到了改变的理由。”符合语境。故选G。 ( 58 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
