Community members can offer us emotional support, practical help and advice. They can also help us feel we aren’t alone in our struggles. A community can also help us develop a sense of identity. When we’re part of a community, we learn about shared values and beliefs. 3 This can help us feel we have a place in the world and that we are part of something important.

There is, however, a serious problem with our generation that needs to be addressed, and that is our intense laziness. 1 One of the most common reasons why our generation is lazy is because we grew up in an era when technology was starting to be linked to every aspect of our lives. 2 Computers, electronic players and many other technological advances are all examples. All of these technologies have aided our way of life, but they also have dulled our ability to think of answers for ourselves. Another common reason why our generation is lazy is due to the fact that some of us were not taught with proper work ethics (道德准则) and values as children. Parents, as well as teachers, taught us as children to use technology as much as possible because they themselves did not possess it when they were our age. However, doing this made us lazy. Our generation has had an incredibly hard time holding down simple jobs just because we are constantly on our phones and are ignoring our responsibilities. I understand the need to cure boredom with something, but technology is not the answer. 3 If our generation had better communication skills, then maybe our work ethic would be better as well. The biggest reason our generation is considered lazy is because many of us act very entitled (有资格的). Many of us act like we deserve everything without working for it. We were raised in a time when discipline (纪律) was starting to ease up and things were just handed to us. This has created many problems for our generation because we do not like it when something does not go our way or when we do not get something we desperately want. 4 Everyone has to have the latest and greatest piece of tech on the market (i.e., smartphones). 5 I just want to point out some things I believe that we, the generation to next inherit (继承) this world, need to improve upon and revise. We are a lazy generation and that is partially our own fault for not exploring other possibilities of ways to handle the world as we grew up. I would like us to acknowledge these problems and try to find solutions if possible – and I do believe this is possible. A．We need to be able to work and communicate with each other more. B．These devices are incredibly expensive in our daily lives. C．It arises from many factors that existed when we were brought up. D．I am not attempting to criticize our generation. E．These problems mainly lie in our generation’s consistent desire for technology. F．It was to allow us to have a harder way of life. G．Thinking back, we can see how technology became widely used during our generation. （23-24高二上·江苏宿迁·期中）Volunteering is often thought of as a selfless act-one where you give up your time for a worthy cause without being paid. Here are some ways volunteering can help young people develop into confident, active citizens. Build self-esteem Many teens are faced with society’s most challenging problems. 1 While working on solutions to these problems, they have the chance to see how their efforts can help improve the lives of others. This can play a significant role in developing their self-esteem throughout their teenage years when many are filled with insecurities and a lack of self-confidence. Explore & discover interests When selecting an opportunity, tecns can volunteer in an area where they have some interests. For example, if they’re thinking about a career in medicine, they might want to voluntcer at a hospital. Or if they’re passionate about animal rights, they could consider helping out at their local animal shelter. And if they’re not sure where their passions lie, participating in a few different single days of service can help them discover unknown interests. 2 Widen their social circle A teenager’s social circle typically consists of family and school friends. Volunteering gives teens the opportunity to meet other people. 3 Volunteering provides the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded people and form rclationships that last a lifetime. 4 Volunteering also gives teens an opportunity to experience situations that occur in the workplace, such as having to work as part of a team. They see what people have to do in certain jobs and the conditions in which they have to work. This helps them remove what they can’t see themselves doing and drill down to what they really want to do. 5 It indicates that the individual has empathy for others, has gained some real-life experience outside of school and is prepared to step outside of their comfort zone to achieve goals. They may also learn specific skills while volunteering that are useful in the interview. A．Gain work experience B．Thus they can benefit from these new discoveries. C．Some of them may impact on their future positively. D．Do a lot of volunteer work E．Plus,volunteer work can impress a future employer. F．Besides, volunteering helps you find your place in society. G．However, they eventually find volunteer work powerful. （23-24高二上·江苏镇江·期中）There are times in our lives when care and hesitation serve us well. 1 Cultivating (培养) adventure in our children gives them a chance to see what they are really made of while delighting in new places and experiences. Be Spontaneous (心血来潮的) Routines are really important for children, but so is a sense of flexibility. Plug Spontaneity can be just simple fun! 2 : Stay up late to watch a movie together; cook or bake something no one in the family has ever tried; rearrange the furniture; go out for ice cream BEFORE dinner! Try Something New Together 3 . Take a little time to observe your child or consider their interests. Do they love art? Pick up a new medium and explore it together. Is your child musically talented? Learn to play an instrument together or look for performances to attend. Venture (敢于去) into the Woods It doesn’t actually have to be the woods. 4 . Our bodies and our brains desire time in the outdoors. Many cities and towns have trails (小路) marked for public use. Search online or ask some friends for advice if you’re not already aware of your options. You may be surprised to discover how much is available. Find Ways to Test Physical Boundaries Children are active creatures. They tend to be especially active around 3:00 pm in the afternoon when we adults are starting to experience an energy collapse. 5 . Balancing on fences or jumping from rock to rock builds not only balance, strength, and spatial awareness, but also allows children to build their self-confidence. Adventure makes life more exciting and rewarding. A．There are hundreds of ways to go about this one B．It can be the desert, the coast, or any other natural space C．If they don’t seem to recognize an achievement, feel free to point it out D．But seeking adventure stimulates something special in the human spirit E．Hobbies are important for everyone and creating interests helps build bonds F．You should recognize your child’s efforts through honest observation G．It is the perfect time to safely test their physical boundaries （23-24高二上·江苏盐城·期中）Books are a great way to learn new things and explore interesting stories. 1 If you’ve been looking for a way to help you unwind at the end of the day and fall asleep faster, opening up a good book could do the trick as follows. You’re not exposed to blue light. We are exposed to blue light so often, which is harmful to the eyes and could create issues later in life. 2 , making it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. So open a paper book to set yourself up for a good night’s rest. You may sleep better. Reading before bed can be helpful in increasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep. Along with longer sleep duration, reading at bedtime could improve your sleep quality once you doze off(打盹儿). If you’ve chosen to read something particularly boring, it’s likely to put you to sleep even faster. 3 . Otherwise, you’re more likely to grab your phone and leave the book on your bedside table. 4 Enjoying a book means being focused on a single plot or topic for several hours, even if we are only reading for 10 to 20 minutes every night. As a result, we become better at concentrating, and we may find that we improve our attention spans in the rest of our daily activities. Reading boosts your brain power. Reading allows you to take in new information. The more you learn, the smarter you become. You don’t have to read something academic, or even non-fiction, for your brain to benefit. 5 . A．Reading reduces stress B．It helps you concentrate better C．Besides, they offer health benefits as well D．However, try to choose a book that’s interesting to you E．Even lighthearted fiction can work to exercise your brain F．That light also tricks your brain into thinking it is daytime G．Creating a relaxing environment allows your body to become sleepy （23-24高二上·江苏徐州·期中）For all of human history, eating meat has meant killing animals. 1 They produce meat by growing cells obtained from an animal’s body. Lab-grown meat, also called “cell–cultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. 2 Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab–grown chicken. 3 It’s aimed at eliminating (消除) harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing(放牧) and growing feed for animals. “Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don’t expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Vaieti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods. 4 That’s because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat. “To make cultivated meat, we need much more energy,” said Bruce Friedrich, president and founder of the Good Food Institute. However, those high energy needs will be offset(补偿)by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. It’s thought that cultured meat will be probably produced on a large scale. 5 A．Lab-grown meat is much more expensive now. B．When ready, lab-grown meat is formed into shapes. C．The approval launches a new era of meat production. D．It looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version. E．But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary. F．That could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population. G．The typical way meat is produced now is a risk factor for the emergence of diseases. （23-24高二上·江苏·期中）When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. 1 The answer is varied. “One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. 2 On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. 3 Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep. 4 That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it’s unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited. As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. 5 It can in turn help to relax the body. A．The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety. B．In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy. C．Relaxing before going to bed can help you fall asleep. D．Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping? E．The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet. F．But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures G．But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy? （22-23高二上·江苏扬州·期中）Do you have clothes in your closet that you never wear? Do you keep things in your drawer that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never read? And what about the mess on the floor? 1 If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff. People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds and they feel stressed, finding it hard to relax. 2 There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change. Now, imagine this bedroom: a desk, a chair, a white floor, a bed and a wardrobe. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions to be happy. 3 At this point you are probably asking “Do I have to remove all my favourite things?” 4 A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us feel easy at home. 5 Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more! Your room will look more large and bright, making you feel free and comfortable! A．This makes them feel unhappy. B．In fact, they enjoy their messy home. C．Of course the answer is that you don’t. D．They want to live with only important things. E．Why do you keep so much stuff in your room? F．But it is a good idea to clean up once in a while. G．Do you have difficulty finding things when you need them? （22-23高二上·江苏淮安·期中）Role of Mass Media in Education In today’s advanced world, where everything is changing at lightning speed, mass media plays an important role. 1 It isn’t limited to the four walls of a classroom anymore. Mass media is responsible for this development to a great extent. The major roles mass media plays in the education field are: Universal reach Mass media has connected people like never before. Education is something which aims to have a universal reach. Mass media has helped to bridge that gap enormously. 2 Storage of information Mass media allows storing information which can be accessed from anywhere at any time. It is literally accessible, at our fingertips, which saves a lot of time and energy. 3 No physical restrictions 4 But it is not the case now. Mass media has reduced distances and made the world smaller for good. For instance, it is not necessary to be present at a place physically to gain knowledge now. Fruitful results Another huge advantage of current technological innovations in mass media is the increased memory capability of students. Many scientific pieces of research have proven that delivering lectures via an audio-visual format (视听格式) is quite effective. 5 All this has only been made possible because of mass media. A．This results in the reduction of false information. B．That being said, education is also advancing day by day. C．Therefore, it serves as a rather useful resource in the field of education. D．One of the major disadvantages before mass media was a physical restriction. E．Mass media consists of the tools used for communicating information and ideas. F．In other words, it is now within everyone’s reach and making the world a better place. G．It has a more positive impact on the memory power of the brain than an audio lecture. （22-23高二上·江苏盐城·期中）How to Study Effectively With pressure and competition rising in education, students nowadays are eager to find the best methods or tools to improve their academic scores. So, questions like “What is the best study method?” or “How can I learn knowledge faster?” arise in their minds. 1 . Play the role of a teacher A useful way to remember lessons is to explain them aloud to yourself. Once you learn a study material, try to explain it to yourself or your friends as your teachers explain it to you. This will help you to clear your confusion related to the lesson. 2 . This will not only help the details stick in your mind but help you to be well prepared for your exams. 3 Many students face a challenge like “Why can’t I remember what I’ve studied?”. 4 . A tired brain is a barrier to learning. Exercise before studying helps to lift your mood. In fact, physical activity helps wake you up so you feel ready when you sit down with your books. Absorb information in smaller chunks (块) 5 : You divide the 11 numbers into three smaller groups. It’s easier to get these three chunks to stick in your mind than it is to remember the whole thing as a single string of information. You can use this strategy when studying by breaking a list down into smaller parts. Work on memorizing each part as its own group. Last but not the least, these tips on how to study effectively can only work if there is enough motivation and willpower to do well. You have to motivate yourself to reach the study goals. A．Work out before studying B．You can call your parents for help C．Start with your toughest assignments D．It has a lot to do with the brain getting too tired E．Think about how you memorize a phone number F．The following are some of the best tips on how to study effectively G．Also, you can ask yourself questions just like your teachers would ask you （22-23高二上·江苏常州·期中）Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, has been around for thousands of years and integrates Taoism(a nature-based philosophy) with elements of Buddhism and Confucianism. Centered around the core belief is that qi is the essential energy that flows through our bodies and powers all human life. 1 The first suggests that everything about a person is interrelated. 2 And they affect one another because of this interconnection. The second assumes that every person is part of the natural world, and in so being, is affected by everything from the time, the place, the season, to one’s age, genetic disposition(组成), and physical condition. The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative(再生的) and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies. 3 . The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well. 4 Do not ignore the warning signs. In this way, you can prevent a more serious condition from developing. 5 They include herbal medicines and diet, foot reflexology (反射论) massage, tai chi, acupuncture, and acupressure (针压法) — to name a few of the more well-known ones. These methods are used to promote the unrestricted flow of qi throughout the body, which is said to promote health. They are also used to balance the opposing forces of yin and yang, believed by Taoists to be found in all things. A．Taking physical examination regularly does not work B．TCM is based on four key principles C．The connections are unnatural enough D．To achieve and maintain good health, TCM employs a number of methods E．Listen to our bodies and making adjustments when necessary F．Unlocking this ability is the key to regaining and maintaining good health G．One’s physical body, emotions, mind, and spirit are all interconnected （22-23高二上·江苏淮安·期中）Educational travel can consist of a simple excursion, such as visiting your local post office, or a longer trip, such as a trip to Egypt to see the pyramids up close. 1 . Consider planning educational travel with your children, in your own town or to other places in the world. Time With Family Taking your children on educational traveling experiences ensures that your family will be spending quality time together. According to New Mexico State University, time spent with parents can help children to feel secure in their relationship and may help parents to get to know their kids better. 2 . Hands-on Learning Outside of school, a child on an educational trip is free to search deeply into whatever he is learning about. An archaeological dig, for example, provides the opportunity for a child to experience the sights, sounds and experience of digging for and identifying fossils. 3 . Your child may be able to decorate a cookie at a bakery excursion or milk a cow during a visit to a nearby farm. 4 If you have the opportunity to take your child on a vacation to another country, she will acquire an appreciation for the differences and similarities that exist between different cultures. Tasting foreign foods, hearing different languages and visiting homes in other countries can be an eye-opening experience for a child or an adult. New Perspective on History 5 . Her preteen son, who had always considered history boring, fell in love with American history after hearing storytellers tell shocking tales of the experiences of people during the Civil War. Seeing and experiencing historical sites can make history come alive for young people. A．Learning different languages B．Appreciation for Different Cultures C．Educational travel is expensive but wonderful D．Small day trips can have similar hands-on benefits E．Judith Waite tells the experience of visiting historical sites F．Educational travel also allows parents and children to learn together G．Choosing to take your children on trips can offer more benefits than the knowledge （21-22高二上·江苏无锡·期中）A Japanese Technique for Overcoming Laziness Almost all of us set ourselves a new goal, but often fail to achieve it in the end. 1 Most of the time, it is because we try to do too many things in a short amount of time. If this is something that you often come across, you are not alone. This is where the concept of Kaizen comes into play. It is a one-minute principle developed by Masaaki Imai. The roots of Kaizen are in the words, “kai” meaning “change”, and “zen” meaning “good”. 2 At the center of this concept is the idea that you should practice doing something for only a minute, every day at the same time. The method is to break your lazy type of thinking, in that it should not be any trouble for you to do a task for just 60 seconds. 3 After all, it is not as if you are being asked to do something for 30 minutes every day, just 60 seconds. The underlying belief is that the more you do it and experience joy during your practice, you will more naturally want to continue doing it the next day. In time, you can ramp up (增加) your task from 1 minute to 2 minutes to 5 minutes and so on. 4 What you need to realize is that, the smaller challenges, when combined with continuous effort, are more rewarding. 5 It is the small victories that are more likely to occur with Kaizen, which will help encourage you to keep going. A．What is Kaizen about? B．Why does it always turn out like this? C．Masaaki Imai founded Kaizen Institute in 1985. D．Together, the words mean “change for the better”. E．Eventually, you will be doing your tasks for a longer period of time. F．In this sense, overcoming laziness should not be a problem any more. G．Taking one small step at a time helps you overcome your lack of confidence. （21-22高二上·江苏扬州·期中）Thanks to globalization (全球化), we can find all sorts of fruit and vegetables from all over the world in supermarkets. But we have four different seasons and each season has different weather conditions. 1 Obviously, there are huge benefits of eating seasonal and locally sourced foods. 2 Fruit and vegetables in season are usually better quality, richer in flavor and have higher nutritional value. Eating what’s in season will also make you have a varied diet throughout the year. Eating seasonal and locally sourced foods is good for the local economy. 3 Supporting the local farmers, grocery stores and small businesses is also one of the many benefits of eating seasonal and locally sourced fruit and vegetables. Buying seasonal and locally sourced foods benefits the environment. Choosing seasonal fruit and vegetables will help reduce the number of miles your foods have to travel before they reach your plate. Moreover, local fruit and vegetables in season are usually not packed in plastic.   4 Eating seasonal and locally sourced foods is cheaper.

Community members can offer us emotional support, practical help and advice. They can also help us feel we aren’t alone in our struggles. A community can also help us develop a sense of identity. When we’re part of a community, we learn about shared values and beliefs. 3 This can help us feel we have a place in the world and that we are part of something important. Finally, a community can also help reduce stress and loneliness. When we’re part of a community, we have people to talk to and connect with. 4 And therefore we feel less stressed and we feel we’re part of something larger than ourselves. Research shows that people who are part of strong communities are also more likely to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. 5 Thus, community helps reduce stress and loneliness and ultimately benefits our physical health in addition to our mental health. A．This can help us to feel less alone. B．Finding community is well worth the effort. C．We also learn about our history and culture. D．There are a number of ways to connect to a community. E．Being part of a healthy community can also provide us with support. F．They tend to have lower blood pressure and a lower risk of overweight. G．This is especially important for people who’ve experienced mental shock or loss. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．C 4．A 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社区的重要性。 1．上文“Being part of a healthy community can help us feel connected to others (成为一个健康社区的一员可以帮助我们感受到与他人的联系)”指出一个健康的社区可以帮助我们进行社交，感受到自己与他人的联系；再根据下文“For those, a community can provide that necessary sense of belonging.

There is, however, a serious problem with our generation that needs to be addressed, and that is our intense laziness. 1 One of the most common reasons why our generation is lazy is because we grew up in an era when technology was starting to be linked to every aspect of our lives. 2 Computers, electronic players and many other technological advances are all examples. All of these technologies have aided our way of life, but they also have dulled our ability to think of answers for ourselves. Another common reason why our generation is lazy is due to the fact that some of us were not taught with proper work ethics (道德准则) and values as children. Parents, as well as teachers, taught us as children to use technology as much as possible because they themselves did not possess it when they were our age. However, doing this made us lazy. Our generation has had an incredibly hard time holding down simple jobs just because we are constantly on our phones and are ignoring our responsibilities. I understand the need to cure boredom with something, but technology is not the answer. 3 If our generation had better communication skills, then maybe our work ethic would be better as well. The biggest reason our generation is considered lazy is because many of us act very entitled (有资格的). Many of us act like we deserve everything without working for it. We were raised in a time when discipline (纪律) was starting to ease up and things were just handed to us. This has created many problems for our generation because we do not like it when something does not go our way or when we do not get something we desperately want. 4 Everyone has to have the latest and greatest piece of tech on the market (i.e., smartphones). 5 I just want to point out some things I believe that we, the generation to next inherit (继承) this world, need to improve upon and revise. We are a lazy generation and that is partially our own fault for not exploring other possibilities of ways to handle the world as we grew up. I would like us to acknowledge these problems and try to find solutions if possible – and I do believe this is possible. A．We need to be able to work and communicate with each other more. B．These devices are incredibly expensive in our daily lives. C．It arises from many factors that existed when we were brought up. D．I am not attempting to criticize our generation. E．These problems mainly lie in our generation’s consistent desire for technology. F．It was to allow us to have a harder way of life. G．Thinking back, we can see how technology became widely used during our generation. 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．A 4．E 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要千禧一代人懒惰的原因。 1．空前“There is, however, a serious problem with our generation that needs to be addressed, and that is our intense laziness.(然而，我们这一代人有一个严重的问题需要解决，那就是我们极度的懒惰。)”说明我们这一代人很懒，空格处应该继续说这个懒是由什么造成的之类的内容，C选项“It arises from many factors that existed when we were brought up.(它源于我们成长过程中存在的许多因素。)”说明了我们的懒惰源于很多因素，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选C。 2．空前“One of the most common reasons why our generation is lazy is because we grew up in an era when technology was starting to be linked to every aspect of our lives.(我们这一代人懒惰的最常见原因之一是因为我们成长在一个科技开始与我们生活的方方面面联系在一起的时代。)”说明我们的生活很大程度上受到科技的影响，空格处应该说生活中的科技很常见，G选项“Thinking back, we can see how technology became widely used during our generation.(回想起来，我们可以看到技术是如何在我们这一代被广泛使用的。)”说明了我们的生活中广泛运用科技，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 3．空后“If our generation had better communication skills, then maybe our work ethic would be better as well.(如果我们这一代人有更好的沟通技巧，那么也许我们的职业道德也会更好。)”说明更好的沟通技巧可以使我们的职业道德变得更好，空格处应该说我们需要更多地与人沟通，A选项“We need to be able to work and communicate with each other more.(我们需要能够更多地相互工作和沟通。)”说明了我们要更多地沟通，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选A。 4．空前“This has created many problems for our generation because we do not like it when something does not go our way or when we do not get something we desperately want.(这给我们这一代人带来了很多问题，因为我们不喜欢事情不按我们的意愿发展，或者我们得不到我们迫切想要的东西。)”说明我们这一代人有很多问题，空格处应该继续对这些问题进行说明，E选项“These problems mainly lie in our generation’s consistent desire for technology.(这些问题主要在于我们这一代人对技术的一贯渴望。)”说明了这些问题产生的原因，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 5．空后“I just want to point out some things I believe that we, the generation to next inherit (继承) this world, need to improve upon and revise.(我只是想指出一些我认为我们，下一代继承这个世界的人，需要改进和修改的事情。)”说明了作者只是想指出一些我认为我们，下一代继承这个世界的人，需要改进和修改的事情，空格处应该说“我不是想干什么事情”，D选项“I am not attempting to criticize our generation.(我并不是想批评我们这一代人。)”说明了我并不是想批评这一代人，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 （23-24高二上·江苏宿迁·期中）Volunteering is often thought of as a selfless act-one where you give up your time for a worthy cause without being paid.

Lab-grown meat, also called “cell–cultivated” or “cultured” meat, is made by feeding a mix of nutrients to animal cells in steel tanks in labs. The idea is to create an alternative to agriculturally raised meat. And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat. 2 Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab–grown chicken. 3 It’s aimed at eliminating (消除) harm to animals, and reducing the environmental impacts of grazing(放牧) and growing feed for animals. “Everything we know about how meat can be made is going to change. But don’t expect to see cultivated meat in grocery stores just yet,” said Uma Vaieti, CEO of UPSIDE Foods. 4 That’s because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat. “To make cultivated meat, we need much more energy,” said Bruce Friedrich, president and founder of the Good Food Institute. However, those high energy needs will be offset(补偿)by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. It’s thought that cultured meat will be probably produced on a large scale. 5 A．Lab-grown meat is much more expensive now. B．When ready, lab-grown meat is formed into shapes. C．The approval launches a new era of meat production. D．It looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version. E．But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary. F．That could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population. G．The typical way meat is produced now is a risk factor for the emergence of diseases. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了实验室培育的肉所带来的益处和问题。 1．根据上文“For all of human history, eating meat has meant killing animals.(在整个人类历史上，吃肉就意味着杀死动物。)”和下文“They produce meat by growing cells obtained from an animal’s body.(他们通过培养从动物身上获得的细胞来生产肉。)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，说明没有必要杀死动物就能够得到肉，并且下文中的“they”指代E项中的“scientists”。E项：But scientists behind lab-grown meat say that’s no longer necessary.(但是实验室培育肉的科学家说，这已经没有必要了。)符合语境。故选E。 2．根据上文“And unlike other meat substitutes which are made from plant proteins and other ingredients, lab-grown meat is real meat.(与其他由植物蛋白和其他成分制成的肉类替代品不同，实验室培育的肉是真正的肉。)”可知，空处承接上文，进一步解释说明实验室培育的肉的特征，D项中的“It”指代上文中的“lab-grown meat”。D项：It looks, smells and tastes like any other grocery store version.(它看起来、闻起来和尝起来都和杂货店里卖的一样。)符合语境。故选D。 3．根据上文“Recently, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has given two companies approval to sell lab–grown chicken.(最近，美国农业部(USDA)批准了两家公司销售实验室培育的鸡肉。)”可知，空处说明这项批准的意义，C项中的“The approval”和上文中“two companies approval”对应。C项：The approval launches a new era of meat production.(此项批准开启了肉类生产的新时代。)符合语境。故选C。 4．根据下文“That’s because it cannot yet be produced on the scale of traditional meat.(这是因为它还不能以传统肉类的规模生产。)”可知，实验室培育的肉不能大规模生产，因此空处说明实验室培育的肉价格高。A项：Lab-grown meat is much more expensive now.(现在实验室培育的肉要贵得多。)符合语境。故选A。 5．根据上文“However, those high energy needs will be offset(补偿)by the reduction in land and water use and other benefits. It’s thought that cultured meat will be probably produced on a large scale.(然而，这些高能源需求将被减少土地和水的使用以及其他利益所抵消。据认为，人造肉可能会大规模生产。)”可知，空处说明生产人造肉的好处。F项：That could also offer a solution to feeding the world’s growing population.(这也可以为养活世界上不断增长的人口提供一个解决方案。)符合语境。故选F。 （23-24高二上·江苏·期中）When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. 1 The answer is varied. “One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. 2 On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. 3 Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep. 4 That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it’s unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited. As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. 5 It can in turn help to relax the body. A．The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety. B．In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy. C．Relaxing before going to bed can help you fall asleep. D．Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping? E．The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet. F．But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures G．But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy? 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．E 4．B 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝热牛奶是否对睡眠有用进行了解释说明。 1．下文“The answer is varied.(答案各不相同)”，下一段的““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”以及第三段“On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping.(在分子水平上，牛奶中的色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性)”说明科学家研究了牛奶让人睡眠好的原因。根据空后的The answer可知，空处为一个疑问，该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关，也就是牛奶和睡眠的关系。G项为一个疑问句，“any scientific evidence”和下文中的“On the molecular level”相呼应。而“warm milk will make you sleepy”和前文“some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk”相呼应，表明空处询问“有没有科学证据表明喝温牛奶会让你昏昏欲睡？”。故选G。 2．上文““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,” said psychologist Michael. (心理学家迈克尔说：“温牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它让你想起了年轻时给你喝温牛奶的人。”)”说明热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人，使人内心感动，这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。A项中的“The calming association”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”，这会产生令人镇静的作用，说明这种平静的联系可能有助于降低睡眠前的焦虑。故选A。 3．下文“Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.(我们的身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素，血清素被转化为褪黑激素，一种帮助睡眠的激素)”说明色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的，我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。E项中的“people must get it from the diet”和下文中的“the tryptophan from food, along with other things”相呼应，表明人体不能产生色氨酸，所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。故选E。 4．下文“That’s because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为激素，从而增强睡眠。但事实上，要想让人感到困倦，需要大量的色氨酸)”说明本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。空处引出理论方面的说明，B项“理论上，摄入富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B。 5．上文“As for the temperature of the milk, there aren’t any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.(至于牛奶的温度，没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是温热的才能产生任何心理或身体影响)”以及下文“It can in turn help to relax the body.(它反过来可以帮助放松身体)”说明牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。空处承上启下，F项中的“the warmth of the milk”对应上文“the temperature of the milk”，而“raise our internal body temperatures”为下文中it所指代的内容，说明牛奶的温暖可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。故选F。 （22-23高二上·江苏扬州·期中）Do you have clothes in your closet that you never wear? Do you keep things in your drawer that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never read? And what about the mess on the floor? 1 If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff. People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds and they feel stressed, finding it hard to relax. 2 There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change. Now, imagine this bedroom: a desk, a chair, a white floor, a bed and a wardrobe. That’s all. It looks calm and relaxing. This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions to be happy. 3 At this point you are probably asking “Do I have to remove all my favourite things?” 4 A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us feel easy at home. 5 Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more! Your room will look more large and bright, making you feel free and comfortable! A．This makes them feel unhappy. B．In fact, they enjoy their messy home. C．Of course the answer is that you don’t. D．They want to live with only important things. E．Why do you keep so much stuff in your room? F．But it is a good idea to clean up once in a while. G．Do you have difficulty finding things when you need them? 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在现实生活中，我们的房间总是不整洁，并建议我们从现在开始做出改变。 1．根据空后的“If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not alone. Most of us have too much stuff. (如果这些问题的答案是肯定的，那么你并不孤单。我们大多数人都有太多的东西。)”可知，空处为一个问句。选项G“Do you have difficulty finding things when you need them? (当你需要东西的时候，你找东西有困难吗？)”为一个问句；且和上文“Do you have clothes in your closet that you never wear? Do you keep things in your drawer that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never read? And what about the mess on the floor? (你衣柜里有没有从来不穿的衣服？你会在抽屉里放一些你从不使用的东西吗？你书架上有没有从未读过的书？那地板上的脏乱怎么办？)”保持一致，都是关于不整洁的提问。故选G。 2．根据空前内容“People with untidy, messy rooms have untidy minds and they feel stressed, finding it hard to relax. (房间不整洁的人头脑也不整洁，他们感到压力很大，很难放松。)”可知，房间不整洁会对人有不好的影响。选项A“This makes them feel unhappy. (这让他们感到不开心。)”与上文内容一致，指的都是房间不整洁会对人产生不好的影响。故选A。 3．根据上文“This is the minimalist style. Minimalists believe that they don’t have to own a lot of possessions to be happy. (极简主义者认为，他们不需要拥有很多东西就能快乐。)”可知，极简主义者不需要拥有很多的东西。选项D“They want to live with only important things. (他们只想和重要的东西生活在一起。)”与上文内容一致，指的是极简主义者不需要太多东西，只需要一些重要的东西就能快乐。故选D。 4．根据空前“At this point you are probably asking “Do I have to remove all my favourite things?” (这时你可能会问：“我必须把我最喜欢的东西都拿走吗？”)”可知，上文是一个问句。选项C“Of course the answer is that you don’t. (答案当然是你不需要。)”是上文问句的答句，指的是不需要把喜欢的东西都拿走。且内容和下文“A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos and books are comforting and help us feel easy at home. (一个极简主义的房间对大多数人来说太极端了，像照片和书这样的私人物品让我们感到安慰，让我们有宾至如归的感觉。)”保持一致。故选C。 5．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Consider this simple rule: if you don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort all the stuff out in your room. After tidying, you’ll have much room in your closet and drawer. Your parents don’t say “You must tidy your room!” any more! Your room will look more large and bright, making you feel free and comfortable! (考虑这个简单的规则：如果你不使用的东西超过6个月，扔掉它。你必须定期整理和整理房间里的东西。整理好之后，你的衣柜和抽屉里就会有更多的空间。你的父母再也不会说“你必须整理你的房间！”。你的房间会看起来更大更明亮，让你感到自由和舒适！)”可知，本段主要建议我们定期整理房间。选项F“But it is a good idea to clean up once in a while. (但是偶尔打扫一下是个好主意。)”正是本段主要内容。故选F。 （22-23高二上·江苏淮安·期中）Role of Mass Media in Education In today’s advanced world, where everything is changing at lightning speed, mass media plays an important role. 1 It isn’t limited to the four walls of a classroom anymore.

So, questions like “What is the best study method?” or “How can I learn knowledge faster?” arise in their minds. 1 . Play the role of a teacher A useful way to remember lessons is to explain them aloud to yourself. Once you learn a study material, try to explain it to yourself or your friends as your teachers explain it to you. This will help you to clear your confusion related to the lesson. 2 . This will not only help the details stick in your mind but help you to be well prepared for your exams. 3 Many students face a challenge like “Why can’t I remember what I’ve studied?”. 4 . A tired brain is a barrier to learning. Exercise before studying helps to lift your mood. In fact, physical activity helps wake you up so you feel ready when you sit down with your books. Absorb information in smaller chunks (块) 5 : You divide the 11 numbers into three smaller groups. It’s easier to get these three chunks to stick in your mind than it is to remember the whole thing as a single string of information. You can use this strategy when studying by breaking a list down into smaller parts. Work on memorizing each part as its own group. Last but not the least, these tips on how to study effectively can only work if there is enough motivation and willpower to do well. You have to motivate yourself to reach the study goals. A．Work out before studying B．You can call your parents for help C．Start with your toughest assignments D．It has a lot to do with the brain getting too tired E．Think about how you memorize a phone number F．The following are some of the best tips on how to study effectively G．Also, you can ask yourself questions just like your teachers would ask you 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．A 4．D 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述如何有效学习。 1．空前“So, questions like ‘What is the best study method?’ or ‘How can I learn knowledge faster?’ arise in their minds.(所以，像‘最好的学习方法是什么？’或者‘我怎样才能更快地学习知识？’这样的问题在他们心中升起)”提到关于如何有效学习的两个问题，下文描述了三个方法，故F项“下面是一些关于如何有效学习的建议”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 2．根据本段小标题“Play the role of a teacher (扮演老师的角色)”及空后“This will not only help the details stick in your mind but help you to be well prepared for your exams.(这不仅可以帮助你记住细节，还可以帮助你为考试做好准备)”可知，空处是提到扮演老师的角色的另一种做法，下文是其好处，G项“此外，你也可以像老师一样提问自己”符合语境。故选G。 3．根据本段的内容，尤其是“Exercise before studying helps to lift your mood. In fact, physical activity helps wake you up so you feel ready when you sit down with your books.(学习前锻炼有助于提升你的情绪。事实上，体育活动有助于唤醒你，这样当你坐下来看书时，你就会感觉准备好了)”可知，本段和锻炼有关，故A项“在学习前进行锻炼”符合语境。故选A。 4．上文“Many students face a challenge like ‘Why can’t I remember what I’ve studied?’.(许多学生面临像这样的挑战‘为什么我记不住我学过的东西？’)”提到，很多学生疑惑自己为什么记不住学过的东西，结合空后“A tired brain is a barrier to learning.(大脑疲劳是学习的障碍)”可知，记不住学过的东西应是和大脑疲劳有关系，D项“这和大脑疲劳有很大关系”符合语境。故选D。 5．根据本段小标题“Absorb information in smaller chunks(块)(把信息分成小块吸收)”及空后“You divide the 11 numbers into three smaller groups.(你把这11个数字分成三个小的组)”可知，此处是描述用把信息分成小块的方法记住电话号码，E项“想想你是如何记住一个手机号码的”符合语境。故选E。 （22-23高二上·江苏常州·期中）Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, has been around for thousands of years and integrates Taoism(a nature-based philosophy) with elements of Buddhism and Confucianism. Centered around the core belief is that qi is the essential energy that flows through our bodies and powers all human life. 1 The first suggests that everything about a person is interrelated. 2 And they affect one another because of this interconnection. The second assumes that every person is part of the natural world, and in so being, is affected by everything from the time, the place, the season, to one’s age, genetic disposition(组成), and physical condition. The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative(再生的) and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies. 3 . The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well. 4 Do not ignore the warning signs. In this way, you can prevent a more serious condition from developing. 5 They include herbal medicines and diet, foot reflexology (反射论) massage, tai chi, acupuncture, and acupressure (针压法) — to name a few of the more well-known ones. These methods are used to promote the unrestricted flow of qi throughout the body, which is said to promote health. They are also used to balance the opposing forces of yin and yang, believed by Taoists to be found in all things. A．Taking physical examination regularly does not work B．TCM is based on four key principles C．The connections are unnatural enough D．To achieve and maintain good health, TCM employs a number of methods E．Listen to our bodies and making adjustments when necessary F．Unlocking this ability is the key to regaining and maintaining good health G．One’s physical body, emotions, mind, and spirit are all interconnected 【答案】1．B 2．G 3．F 4．E 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统医学（或称中医）的四大原则，以及为了达到和保持良好的健康，中医采用的一些方法。 1．根据第五段“The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well.(第四，预防是保持健康的关键)”以及每一段首句可知，接下来介绍的是中医的四个原则，B选项中 four key principles符合题意，起到引出下文的作用。故B选项“中医基于四个关键原则”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据下文“And they affect one another because of this interconnection.(由于这种相互联系，它们相互影响)”中they指代第二空中的内容，此段介绍的是人身体之间存在联系，因为这种联系，人的身体各部位相互影响，G选项中interconnected对应后文中的 interconnection，they指代G选项中的physical body, emotions, mind, and spirit，故G选项“一个人的身体、情感、思想和精神都是相互联系的”符合语境，故选G。 3．根据上文“The third states that, like all things in nature, we are regenerative(再生的) and have the inborn ability to heal our bodies.(第三种观点认为，就像自然界的所有事物一样，我们是可再生的，有天生的能力来治愈我们的身体)”可知，本句总结上文指出天生的能力可以自我治愈，F选项中this ability对应上文have the inborn ability，故F选项“释放这种能力是恢复和保持良好健康的关键”符合语境，故选F。 4．根据上文“The fourth is that prevention is the key to staying well.(第四，预防是保持健康的关键)”可知，本段的主旨是预防，不要忽视身体的预警，E选项中倾听我们的身体，并在必要时做出调整正是对身体预警的解释。故E选项“倾听身体的声音，必要时做出调整”符合语境，故选E。 5．根据本段内容“They include herbal medicines and diet, foot reflexology (反射论) massage, tai chi, acupuncture, and acupressure (针压法) — to name a few of the more well-known ones.

If this is something that you often come across, you are not alone. This is where the concept of Kaizen comes into play. It is a one-minute principle developed by Masaaki Imai. The roots of Kaizen are in the words, “kai” meaning “change”, and “zen” meaning “good”. 2 At the center of this concept is the idea that you should practice doing something for only a minute, every day at the same time. The method is to break your lazy type of thinking, in that it should not be any trouble for you to do a task for just 60 seconds. 3 After all, it is not as if you are being asked to do something for 30 minutes every day, just 60 seconds. The underlying belief is that the more you do it and experience joy during your practice, you will more naturally want to continue doing it the next day. In time, you can ramp up (增加) your task from 1 minute to 2 minutes to 5 minutes and so on. 4 What you need to realize is that, the smaller challenges, when combined with continuous effort, are more rewarding. 5 It is the small victories that are more likely to occur with Kaizen, which will help encourage you to keep going. A．What is Kaizen about? B．Why does it always turn out like this? C．Masaaki Imai founded Kaizen Institute in 1985. D．Together, the words mean “change for the better”. E．Eventually, you will be doing your tasks for a longer period of time. F．In this sense, overcoming laziness should not be a problem any more. G．Taking one small step at a time helps you overcome your lack of confidence. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．F 4．E 5．G 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“Kaizen”的克服懒惰的新方法。 1．根据上文“Almost all of us set ourselves a new goal, but often fail to achieve it in the end. (几乎所有人都会为自己设定了一个新的目标，但最终往往无法实现。)”可知，上文阐述了一种现象，我们为自己设立的目标最终往往无法实现。根据下文“Most of the time, it is because we try to do too many things in a short amount of time. (大多数时候，这是因为我们试图在短时间内做太多的事情。)”可知，下文阐述了这种现象产生的原因，B项意为“为什么结果总是这样？”选项内容能够引起下文，为什么结果总是这样？那时因为我们试图在短时间内做太多的事情。故选B。 2．根据上文“The roots of Kaizen are in the words, “kai” meaning “change”, and “zen” meaning “good”. (Kaizen的根源在于语言，“kai”意思是“改变”，而“zen” 意思是“好”。)”可知，上文介绍了Kaizen的含义，D项意为“这些字合在一起意思是“向更好的方向改变”。”选项内容能够承接上文，“kai” 意思是“改变”，而“zen” 意思是“好”，合在一起“Kaizen”意思是“向更好的方向改变”。故选D。 3．根据上文“At the center of this concept is the idea that you should practice doing something for only a minute, every day at the same time. The method is to break your lazy type of thinking, in that it should not be any trouble for you to do a task for just 60 seconds. (这个概念的中心思想是，你应该每天在同一时间练习做一件事，只做一分钟。这种方法打破了你懒惰的思维方式，因为对你来说，只花60秒完成一项任务应该不会有任何麻烦。)”可知，上文介绍了这种方法让你每天在同一时间练习做一件事，只做一分钟，对你来说很容易，你会更容易克服懒惰，F项意为“从这个意义上讲，克服懒惰应该不再是问题。”选项内容能够承接上文，对你来说，只花60秒完成一项任务很容易，所以，克服懒惰应该不再是问题。故选F。 4．根据上文“The underlying belief is that the more you do it and experience joy during your practice, you will more naturally want to continue doing it the next day. In time, you can ramp up (增加) your task from 1 minute to 2 minutes to 5 minutes and so on. (根本的信念是，你在练习过程中做得越多，体验到的快乐越多，你就越自然地想在第二天继续做下去。随着时间的推移，您可以将任务从1分钟增加到2分钟，再增加到5分钟，以此类推。)”可知，上文告诉我们，通过这种方法，你会在练习的过程中体会到快乐，并逐渐增加自己的练习时间，E项意为“最终，你将做你的任务更长的时间。”选项内容能够承接上文，您会将任务从1分钟增加到2分钟，再增加到5分钟，最终，你将做你的任务更长时间。故选E。 5．根据上文“What you need to realize is that, the smaller challenges, when combined with continuous effort, are more rewarding.  (你需要意识到的是，较小的挑战，如果与持续的努力相结合，会更有回报。)”可知，上文告诉我们这种方法的原理是虽然每次的挑战很小，但只要持续努力，会有更大的回报，G项意为“一次迈出一小步有助于你克服信心不足。”选项内容能够承接上文，进一步解释了这种方法是如何起作用的，每次迈出一小步，你会体验到快乐，更有自信，然后继续努力，就会有更大的回报。故选G。 （21-22高二上·江苏扬州·期中）Thanks to globalization (全球化), we can find all sorts of fruit and vegetables from all over the world in supermarkets. But we have four different seasons and each season has different weather conditions. 1 Obviously, there are huge benefits of eating seasonal and locally sourced foods. 2 Fruit and vegetables in season are usually better quality, richer in flavor and have higher nutritional value. Eating what’s in season will also make you have a varied diet throughout the year. Eating seasonal and locally sourced foods is good for the local economy. 3 Supporting the local farmers, grocery stores and small businesses is also one of the many benefits of eating seasonal and locally sourced fruit and vegetables.
