2025年新高考优秀英语模拟试题优选分类汇编 阅读七选五 1.（2025·福建省宁德市蕉城区宁德第一中学高三一模）In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings. 36 Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin. Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. 37 The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass. 38 This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors. Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies. 39 As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms. 40 One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group. A．This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days. B．It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings. C．This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates. D．It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower. E．These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions. F．The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders. G．The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．G 39．D 40．E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了天井见证了古代建筑者的智慧。 36．根据上文“In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings.(在中国传统建筑中，天井是一个开放的庭院或井状空间，通常位于建筑物或建筑群的中心。)”可知，这是在介绍天井的位置。而B项It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings.(它通常是一个被建筑的房间和侧翼包围的正方形状。)符合语境，其中It代指上文a skywell，有承上作用。故选B项。 37．根据上文“Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels.(冷空气从较低的楼层被吸入建筑，暖空气从较高的楼层排出并上升。)”可知，本空应与空气的流动有关。而A项“This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days.”(这促进了新鲜空气的流动，尤其是在炎热的夏天。) ”符合语境，其中this指代前句空气的流向，有承上作用。故选A项。 38．根据上文“During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass.(白天，庭院吸收太阳的热量，充当热质。)”和下文“This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors.(这种昼夜循环有助于保持室内平衡一致的温度。)”可知，本空应该讲述热量夜间的状况。因此G项“ The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night.(夜间室外温度下降，储存的热量逐渐释放。) ”符合语境，有承上启下作用。故选G项。 39．根据上文“A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies.(最近的一项研究表明，天井冷却效果的最重要部分来自这些水体。)”可知，这里介绍了建筑物温度降低的原因。而D项“It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower.(这可能是它们周围的温度低2.6℃到4.2℃的原因。) ”符合语境。其中 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower与上文cooling effect对应，有承上作用。故选D项。 40．根据下文“One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. (一个恰当的例子是位于济南的国家重型车辆工程技术研究中心，这是一座18层的建筑，从五楼到顶楼，中心都有一个巨大的开放空间。)”可知，这里讲述了古代建筑物的智慧在现代的体现。而E项“These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions.(这些奇迹不断激励着建筑师寻求可持续的解决方案。) ”符合语境，对本段有总括作用，后面举的例子进一步说明了对天井的探索，these wonders指代前一段介绍的天井的益处。故选E项。 2.（2025·重庆巴蜀中学高考适应性月考卷（二））Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular example of pop- psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). 36 . And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps! 37 , as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. 38 . It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese. Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy. 39 . Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviours as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark,“ what would be the point of having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters?” Habits are meant to be difficult to change. Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV — after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. 40 . Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy. Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them. A．This is, of course, nonsense B．The 21- day rule does have some scientific basis C．We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower D．The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs E．Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes F．And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick G．One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．F 39．G 40．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文探讨了关于习惯改变的一些常见误解，特别是“21天养成一个新习惯”的说法。 36．根据前文“We probably owe this particular example of pop- psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). (我们可能要把这个流行心理学智慧的特别例子归功于整形外科医生Maxwell Maltz，他声称自己观察到，失去一条胳膊或一条腿的人平均只需要21天就能适应一条肢体的失去。)”可知，此处陈述了Maxwell Maltz的观点。E选项“Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes(因此，他推断所有大的变化都是如此)”承接前文，选项中的he指代前文的Maxwell Maltz，符合语境。故选E。 37．根据前文“And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps!( 因此，改变一个习惯必须花21天，也许，也许！)”以及后文“as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. (如同心理学家Phillippa Lally和她的同事的一项新研究帮助证实的。她的研究对象试图养成新习惯，比如每天吃水果或慢跑，他们平均花了令人沮丧的66天时间才报告说，这些行为已经变成了习惯性的行为。)”可知，Maxwell Maltz认为改变一个习惯必须花21天时间，但是Phillippa Lally和她的同事的一项新研究证实了Maxwell Maltz所提出的观点是错误的。A选项“This is, of course, nonsense(当然，这是无稽之谈)”直接反驳了第一段的观点，this指代前文的观点的内容即改变一个习惯必须花21天，该选项符合语境。故选A。 38．根据后文“It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese.( 开始多吃几个苹果不可能像开始每周抽出五个小时学习中文那么容易。)”可知，此处强调多吃几个苹果不可能像每周抽出五个小时学习中文那么容易。F选项“And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick(不出所料，有些习惯比其他习惯更难坚持)”直接指出了不同习惯养成的难易程度不同，照应后文中将吃苹果和学韩语相对比的例子。故选F。 39．根据前文“Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21- day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy.(自助文化坚持21天规则的虚构，可能是因为它使习惯改变听起来基本上很容易。)”强调自我帮助文化坚持“21天规则”的虚构，可能是因为它想让习惯改变听起来很容易。G选项“One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard(一个简单得令人沮丧的问题是：改变习惯很难)”可知，该选项指出了坚持21天规则的一个主要问题，即改变习惯很难，对上述观点进行了反驳，指出了改变习惯的真正难度。故选G。 40．根据前文“Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV —— after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. (另一个问题是，我们倾向于错误地思考习惯的改变。比如说，我们想停止看那么多电视，但另一方面，很明显，我们也想看很多电视——毕竟，我们一直在看电视。我们深陷希腊人所说的“akrasia”：决定最好的行动方针，然后做其他事情。)”可知，前面提到的是我们在习惯改变上的错误思维方式，即想要做某事（如少看电视），但实际上却继续做其它的事。D选项“The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs(解决这个问题的方法是认识到习惯是对需求的反应)”针对前文的问题提出了解决方案即要理解并满足我们的真正需求，而不是简单地错误地改变某个习惯。故选D。 3.（2025·甘青宁三省多校高三九月联考） Your inner dialogue can either be a stepping stone or a barrier to reaching your goals. If you have a harsh (严厉的) inner critic, you’ re not alone: Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common. 36 Here are some ways to deal with your inner critic. ● Pay attention to your thoughts. You’ re so used to hearing your inner voices that it’s easy to overlook the messages you’ re sending to yourself. Start paying close attention to your thoughts. It’s estimated that you have around 60,000 thoughts per day. That’s 60,000 chances to either build yourself up or tear yourself down. 37 ● Change the channel. When you keep replaying a mistake you made in your head over and over again, you’ll drag yourself down. The best way to change the channel is by getting active. 38 Go for a walk, call a friend, or tackle a project you’ve been putting off. ● 39 Your thoughts aren’t always true. If you think, “I’m going to embarrass myself when I give that presentation,” pause for a minute. Take out a piece of paper and write down all the evidence that indicates you’re going to fail. Then, list all the evidence that you aren’t going to fail. Looking at the evidence on both sides can help you look at the situation less emotionally. ● Ask yourself what advice you’d give to a friend. 40 For example, while you might call yourself a fool for making a mistake, it’s unlikely that you’d say that to a loved one. When you’re struggling with tough times or doubting your ability to succeed, ask yourself, “What would I say to a friend who had this problem?” Then, offer yourself those kind and wise words. A．Examine the evidence. B．Train your brain to think differently. C．But you don’t have to be a victim of your self-talk. D．It’s often easier to be more merciful to other people than to yourself. E．Find an activity that will temporarily keep you away from the negative voices. F．Reminding yourself that your thoughts aren’t always true boosts your confidence. G．Recognizing your thought patterns helps to understand how your thinking affects you. 【答案】36．C 37．G 38．E 39．A 40．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何应对自我苛责。 36．由上文“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common. (自我怀疑和令人沮丧的预测是很常见的。)”可知，本段在讲述自我怀疑的普遍性，空后句子“Here are some ways to deal with your inner critic. (这里有一些处理你内心批评的方法。)”则提出了针对自我怀疑的一些对策，由此可推知，本空应谈论读者可以做到避免这种情况，C选项“But you don’t have to be a victim of your self-talk. (但你不必成为你内心对话的受害者)”能承上启下，符合语境，其中“your self-talk”对应前文的“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions”，且该选项中的But与前文的“Self-doubt and discouraging predictions are common”形成转折关系。故选C。 37．由上文“Start paying close attention to your thoughts. (开始密切关注你的想法。)”可知，本段建议要关注自己的想法，G选项“Recognizing your thought patterns helps to understand how your thinking affects you. (认识到你的思维模式有助于理解你的想法是如何影响你的)”能承接上文，进一步指出关注想法的重要性，符合语境。故选G。 38．由上文“The best way to change the channel is by getting active. (改变思维频道最好的方式就是变得积极起来。)”可知，本段建议通过变得积极来转换思维频道，本空应具体讨论怎样实施，E选项“Find an activity that will temporarily keep you away from the negative voices. (找一项能让你暂时远离消极声音的活动)”是对该建议的具体化说明，符合语境。且E选项中的“negative voices”与上文“change the channel”相呼应，表明要远离消极思维。故选E。 39．由下文“Your thoughts aren’t always true. (你的想法并不总是正确的。)”可知，本段建议要审视自己的想法是否正确，A选项“Examine the evidence. (审视证据)”是对该建议的概括，符合语境。且A选项中的“examine”与下文“Looking at the evidence on both sides”相呼应，表明要检查证据来判断想法是否正确。故选A。 40．由下文“For example, while you might call yourself a fool for making a mistake, it’s unlikely that you’d say that to a loved one. (例如，你可能会因为犯错而称自己为傻瓜，但你不太可能对心爱的人这样说。)”可知，本段通过对比自己对待自己的错误和对待朋友的错误的不同态度，来说明要善待自己，本空应讨论善待别人比善待自己容易，D选项“It’s often easier to be more merciful to other people than to yourself. (通常对别人比对自己更仁慈更容易)”符合语境，且能够概括本段主旨。故选D。 4.（2025·山东省实验中学高三上学期一诊）Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone.

Am I letting myself dream big? 17 Despite daily busyness and self-doubt, they believe in the possibility of achieving significant goals.

On the outside, everything is fine. People see you pushing forward and they admire this “strength”. However, unless you keep building that dam higher, it will eventually overflow. It usually happens when we least expect it. Instead of resisting weak moments, I have learned to embrace them. When I embrace weakness, I feel peace. I sense love. There is freedom in that decision that isn’t present when my focus is on staying strong. 17 An effort to “stay strong” denies you the feelings your heart longs to experience under those challenging circumstances. The strongest bonds I see between two people are the ones that get developed when both are willing to embrace their weaknesses with each other. Those moments offer honesty, and chances to demonstrate loyalty and love. 18 We think we’re stopping a series of difficult emotions, but actually we’re blocking love from reaching us from the other direction. Could I be hurt by allowing myself to show and share my weakest moments? Of course, hurt people sometimes hurt others. 19 And I believe that if someone has embraced their weaknesses and feels free, they can one day inspire others through their journey. It is tempting to be strong, but building a dam will not offer a long-term solution. 20 A．But freed people will help to free others. B．Imagine that your emotions represent a river. C．That’s why I encourage people to do the same. D．You can reach this by taking some simple steps. E．Dealing with your weakness cannot be overstated. F．Without weakness, there is never a chance for a relationship to expand. G．Allowing love to flow while embracing weakness is the only way to grow. 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．F 19．A 20．G 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在面对生活挑战时，人们常被鼓励要坚强，但这种 “坚强” 是一种人为的构建。作者认为不应抗拒脆弱时刻，而应拥抱脆弱，因为拥抱脆弱能让人感受到爱、和平与自由，且两个人之间最牢固的关系建立在彼此愿意展现脆弱的基础上，让爱流动同时拥抱脆弱才是成长的唯一途径。 16．根据下文“Your desire to be strong is a dam you build to control the flow of complex feelings. (你对坚强的渴望是你建造的一座水坝，用于控制复杂情感的流动。)”可知，情感被比作了河流，与B项“Imagine that your emotions represent a river. (想象一下你的情绪代表一条河。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 17．根据上文“Instead of resisting weak moments, I have learned to embrace them. When I embrace weakness, I feel peace. I sense love. (我没有抗拒软弱的时刻，而是学会了拥抱它们。当我接受软弱时，我会感到平安。我感受到了爱。)”可知，作者学会拥抱脆弱，感到了平静和爱，这就是作者鼓励人们这样做的原因，与C项“That’s why I encourage people to do the same. (这就是为什么我鼓励人们也这样做。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 18．根据上文“The strongest bonds I see between two people are the ones that get developed when both are willing to embrace their weaknesses with each other. Those moments offer honesty, and chances to demonstrate loyalty and love. (我看到两个人之间最牢固的纽带是当双方都愿意接受彼此的弱点时建立起来的纽带。这些时刻提供了诚实，以及展示忠诚和爱的机会。)”可知，两个人之间最强的联系是在彼此愿意接受弱点时建立的，如果没有弱点，关系就没有机会拓展，与F项“Without weakness, there is never a chance for a relationship to expand. (没有软弱，就永远没有机会扩大关系。)”上下文一致，进一步说明弱点对关系的意义，故选F项。 19．根据上文“Could I be hurt by allowing myself to show and share my weakest moments? Of course, hurt people sometimes hurt others. (允许自己展示和分享我最薄弱的时刻会让我受伤吗？当然，受伤的人有时会伤害别人。)”及下文“And I believe that if someone has embraced their weaknesses and feels free, they can one day inspire others through their journey. (我相信，如果有人接受了自己的弱点并感到自由，他们总有一天可以在他们的旅程中激励其他人。)”可知，获得自由的人能帮助他人获得自由，与A项“But freed people will help to free others. (但是获得自由的人会帮助他人获得自由。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选A项。 20．根据上文“It is tempting to be strong, but building a dam will not offer a long-term solution. (变得强大是很诱人的，但建造大坝不会提供长期的解决方案。)”可知，坚强不是久长之计，与G项“Allowing love to flow while embracing weakness is the only way to grow. (允许爱流淌，同时拥抱软弱是成长的唯一途径。)”上下文一致，是对上文的进一步阐述，故选G项。 （2025·山东省第一次备考监测联考） Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. ___16___ If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that.

Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. 37 The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass. 38 This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors. Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies. 39 As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms. 40 One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group. A．This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days. B．It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings. C．This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates. D．It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower. E．These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions. F．The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders. G．The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night. 2.（2025·重庆巴蜀中学高考适应性月考卷（二））Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular example of pop- psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). 36 . And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps! 37 , as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly automatic. 38 . It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese. Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy. 39 . Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviours as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark,“ what would be the point of having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters?” Habits are meant to be difficult to change. Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV — after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. 40 .
