Create a routine Work-related stress is unavoidable. 2 . For example, don’t check email just before going to bed. Instead, create a routine where you can relax with a book or engage in a hobby with your loved ones. Anything that helps you release the tension from the day will help promote sleep. 3 “Eating a large meal can disrupt your sleep because it’s like giving your body a really large job to do right before sleep at a time when things are supposed to be shutting down.” said Dr. Annise Wilson, a professor at Baylor University. “But don’t go to bed super-hungry. either. Try snacks with protein or healthy fats, like cheese or peanut butter on whole grain bread.” Avoid alcohol and caffeine While alcohol can help you fall asleep initially, it can disrupt your sleep cycle, reducing the quality of sleep and increasing the chances you’ll wake up more often in the middle of the night. Caffeine can block adenosine, a chemical that contributes to the feeling of sleepiness and it can take your body up to 4 hours to clear caffeine. 4 . Talk to your doctor If nothing’s working, it’s time to go to a doctor. This is especially true if your sleepless nights are affecting your work or mood. “ 5 ,” Dr. Annise Wilson said. “Then it’s time to seek some professional help.” A．Limit technology B．Watch what you eat C．At a certain point, even relaxation won’t work D．They include stress and a culture that is all about work, not rest E．Having a cup of coffee or wine before bedtime might feel relaxing F．For these reasons, finish up your coffee or wine several hours before bedtime G．But you can leave your daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bedtime 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五02】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill — working hard but not going anywhere. 1 Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. 2 Self-doubt and anxiety about whether you’re making any progress can sabotage your goals even if you’re in fact making significant progress just below the surface. If you think your goal might take some time to manifest change, try setting a “re-evaluation date” before you quit and give up on yourself too early. For a “re-evaluation date”, simply pick a day on the calendar that makes sense for the size and scope of your particular goal. Then refuse to rethink, reassess, or self-doubt your decisions until that day. 3 There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences — and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. 4 If you constantly feel negative while working towards your goal, you’ll quickly come to resent it and will be more likely to quit. So if you’re feeling frustrated about a goal, remember that there just might be a lot of things happening under the surface you’re not aware of. And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... 5 A．You will eventually see results. B．But below, a huge iceberg is forming. C．Those are the things that really matter. D．Celebrate your failures as much as your successes. E．Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. F．If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track. G．If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五03】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）When faced with a glass half full of water, some people perceive it to be half full, while others view it as half empty. Apparently, some people are just happier than others. You can change your set range to increase your level of happiness, though. Go with the “flow” 1 . When you’re so fully engaged in what you’re doing that you don’t notice the passage of time, you are in a state called “flow”, which is associated with joy. In your daily life, try to increase the number of “flow” experiences in which you lose yourself. 2 Take a moment to do nice things for others throughout your day. Treating other people well brings on positive results. It makes you feel generous and capable and leads you to feel grateful for your own situation. It also gives joy to other people and leads them to like you more and repay in your times of need. 3 . Express gratitude Counting your blessings is a great way to review the positive things in your life. One way to do this is by taking time during the week to consider three or five things for which you are currently grateful. 4 . You can do it when you're going to sleep at night or during your commute (上下班路程) . Another idea is to call or write a note of appreciation to an important person in your life. Celebrate good news Sharing successes and accomplishments with others has been linked to elevated joy and well-being. When your cousin or best friend wins an honor, congratulate them and celebrate it. 5 .

For decades, this had been my practice, a type of self-defence mechanism I developed as a kid against those who would criticize, bully (欺凌) or belittle me. 1 “I know I can be too much, and you’re probably sick of me,” I’d tell friends, which was a statement born less out of self-awareness and more out of fear. 2 In fact, a lot of women are conditioned to be this way, says psychologist Dr. Traci Stein, who is also an author and creator of a series of programs to fight critical self-talk and build self-sympathy. Self-criticism is any thought that highlights a fault or problem you have — or think you have. As Stein points out, critical thoughts are often untrue. 3 The good news about these negative thoughts is that they are just that: thoughts. 4 It starts by developing a positive mindset through self-sympathy. “Be aware of the negative thoughts and interrupt that internal dialogue,” Stein says. “Change them into something positive. Speak to yourself kindly, like you would to someone you love and care about. You’d never tell your child that they are stupid and ugly, so don’t speak to yourself that way either.” Getting cures from our experts will help you build self-sympathy and bar harmful critical thoughts. 5 “A good expert will help you learn to recognize these thoughts, challenge them and come up with anxiety-management strategies.” A．Easier said than done? B．And you can change your thoughts. C．The self-criticism quickly took on a life of its own. D．Having negative thoughts about ourselves is human nature. E．I’m not the only one who made self-criticizing a personality characteristic. F．However, the irony of these thoughts is that they often have the opposite result. G．Self-critical thoughts can be really sticky, especially if you’ve made a habit of them, Stein says. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五05】（24-25高三上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习）Parents provide care, protection, love, and support, but it can be easy to forget how much they do on a daily basis. Here are some nice things you can do for your parents to express your gratitude and respect. Say “thank you”. 1 This not only includes the big stuff, like putting a roof over your head and feeding you, but also the small things, like doing your laundry or driving you to your friend’s house. A simple “thank you” goes a long way. 2 Chances are that they’ll feel valued when you trust their opinions and rely on them. Remember to follow up and properly thank them for their support. For example, you could say “You were right about going to sleep early, instead of pulling an all-nighter. I feel so refreshed and prepared for my exam today. Thank you.” Apologize when you do something wrong. No one is perfect all the time. 3 Instead of trying to dismiss what happened, own up to your mistake and make a genuine apology. Ask your parents about their day. Your parents want to feel involved in your life, so make an effort to talk to them at dinner, instead of looking at your phone. 4 By discussing problems, opportunities, and new experiences you’re going through, you’ll make your parents happy and strengthen your relationship. Give your parents a hug. Hugging your parents and telling them you love them is sure to make them feel special. You can pat their shoulders, stroke your hands across their back, or smile when you let go to show even more affection. 5 A．Wrap your arms around your parents and squeeze tight.

Many hobbies enhance your sense of satisfaction. 1 I know many people’s hobby is just scrolling through social media, but the reality is that they feel lost or even worse afterward. 2 When you play video and mobile games, you just sit still or lie down without any movement, which increases your risk of many health issues.

My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. 1 I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution, so I’ve made a little list of the things that help calm my son, and some of these might work for your kid, as well. 2 It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. 3 Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. 4 I’ve found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused.

Many people approach writing with fear or anxiety, often due to early unpleasant experiences. This fear can make even the simplest writing tasks harder. However, writing is not a particular talent; it’s a form of thinking on paper. 1 Writing is a skill, much like carpentry(木工工艺), with its own set of tools — words. When used correctly, these tools can make any subject accessible to readers. 2 In reality, clear and simple language can make any topic understandable. Recognize that writing is challenging. Many assume professional writers produce perfect drafts effortlessly, but in truth, writing involves massive rewriting and refining to achieve clarity and freshness. 3 Making clear sentences often takes multiple attempts, but the satisfaction of getting them right is great. Writing is a skill that can be learned quickly with practice. It’s not a competition; every writer starts from a different point and moves at their own pace. 4 Writing is essentially an interaction between you and your readers. It’s about communicating your thoughts to someone else on paper. Your main goal should be to master this craft, making your writing clear, engaging, and true to your voice. 5 It’s about reaching out to your readers and making a meaningful impact. Whether you’re writing a simple email, a detailed report, or a personal essay, the principles of clear and effective writing remain the same. By focusing on clarity, simplicity, and realness, you can make your writing not only effective but also enjoyable for both you and your readers. A．Besides, writing is about connection.

They will always seek to determine whether the ideas, arguments and findings represent the entire picture and are open to finding why they do not. It is about being an active learner rather than a passive receiver of information. 3 When analyzing a work procedure or process, you can creatively come up with ways to make it faster and more efficient. It is a skill that can be strengthened over time. To discover certain patterns of information and make abstract connections between seemingly unrelated data will improve your critical thinking. This is valuable no matter what career you take up. Adjust your perspective. Previous education and life experiences leave their marks on a person’s ability to objectively evaluate certain situations. By acknowledging these biases, you can improve your critical thinking and overall decision process. 4 Putting yourself in other people’s shoes will help you imagine their motivations, ambitions, and confusions. Practice reflection. Baking time for reflection into your day, particularly after an emotional situation is resolved or a big project is completed. Consider: What was the context?

G．Instead, you keep an attitude involving questioning such arguments and conclusions. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五13】（24-25高三上·云南大理·阶段练习）Development of Self-Concept Self-concept begins to develop in early childhood. 1 . However, it is between early childhood and adolescence that self-concept experiences the most growth. By age two, children begin to differentiate themselves from others. By the ages of three and four, children understand that they are separate and unique selves. 2 . It is based mostly on physical characteristics or concrete details. Yet, children increasingly pay attention to their capabilities, and by about six years old, children can communicate what they want and need. They are also starting to define themselves in terms of social groups. Between the ages of seven and eleven, children begin to make social comparisons and consider how they’re understood by others. At this stage, children’s descriptions of themselves become more abstract. 3 They realize that their characteristics exist on a continuum. For example, a child at this stage will begin to see themselves as more athletic than some and less athletic than others, rather than simply athletic or not athletic. At this point, the ideal self and self-image start to develop. 4 The self-concept established during adolescence is usually the basis for the self-concept for the rest of one’s life. During the adolescent years, people experiment with different roles, personas, and selves. For adolescents, self-concept is influenced by success in areas they value and the responses of others valued by them. 5 . A．This process continues throughout life B．Self-image doesn’t always match reality C．The ideal self is the self we would like to be D．Adolescence is a key period for self-concept E．At this stage, a child’s self-image is largely descriptive F．Success and approval can contribute to greater self-worth into adulthood G．They begin to describe themselves in terms of abilities and not just concrete details 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五14】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）Green-roofed structures date back to many years ago, even before the concept of housing as it is known today was birthed. The earliest green roofs came in the form of sod (草皮) roofs above caves. Plants were used on top of the caves for ceremonial and agricultural purposes. 1 . The most famous green roof of all time was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The gardens were documented as one of the seven wonders of the world at the time. 2 . The gardens were built over arched (拱形的) stones covered with waterproof reeds (芦苇). As modernity began, most people switched to iron sheets and roofing tiles. With these options available, a few considered the idea of green roofing. As industrialization kicked in, more roofing options made the Hanging Gardens of Babylon seem like an ancient idea. Years of worsening environment, due to the agricultural and industrial revolution, followed. 3 . The world soon realized that preserving green spaces was key to human survival. As a result, most people started paying attention to nature, leading to the revival (复兴) of green roofs. Modern green roofing technology took shape around the 1960s. It all started when Germany invented technology against roof access. The new technology was heavily marketed, and most people in Germany started adopting green roofs. 4 . Today, green roofs are growing in popularity across the world, and America is leading the race. Research shows that the global green roofs market grew by 17.7％ in 2023 from $1.53 billion in 2022 to 1.80 billion. The market is expected to hit $3.31 billion by 2027. 5 . Such roofs are designed in such a way that they can hold water and grow plants throughout the year. In most cases, the plants grown on green roofs do not require much water and so often don’t have irrigation. However, fixing a green roof is not a straightforward affair. A．In designing a green roof, there are some traps that need avoiding B．Eventually, the effects of environmental worsening started appearing C．In simple terms, green roofs are any roofs that feature green living matter D．Since then, many more technologies have come up that have advanced green roofs E．Over time, sod roofs lost their value due to natural disasters and borrowing by animals F．Although similar to what a green roof looks like today, their engineering was quite different G．If you intend to use a green roof, you must make sure you have a stable foundation and walls 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五15】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）Rucking, also known as yomping or tabbing, has its origins in military training, where soldiers march with heavy backpacks to build endurance (耐力), strength, and mental toughness. Today, it’s gaining popularity among people looking for an effective workout without gym equipment. But before you put on that backpack, here’s what you need to know to get started safely. 1 It can cause serious injury to the spine, neck, knees, hips, etc, if not done right. Anyone with a history of injury, particularly related to the knees or lower back should seek professional advice before pursuing rucking. Civilian rucking doesn’t need to be as intense as military training. Start light, and gradually build the weight from there. 2 Starting short is advisable. Limit rucking to once or twice a week to see how your body responds and build up the duration. “I do it when I go out with the dog,” a rucking fan says. “It fits in with my lifestyle.” You don’t need specialized equipment to start rucking. A backpack filled with books,  water bottles, or canned food works just fine. 3 Getting the load distribution and backpack right is a hard thing to do. You can consider backpacks with breathable backspace and waist belts. They can help distribute the load evenly. 4 Wearing supportive boots instead of running shoes when carrying a heavy pack is also preferable. 5 It requires minimal equipment — a backpack and some weight — making it an excellent alternative for those who might find traditional gym exercises boring or inaccessible. So, if you are someone who loves being outdoors, then rucking is a great way to improve your joint health and build a bit of strength and resilience (恢复力). A．Rucking indoors is ideal. B．Rucking is simple and flexible. C．Rucking isn’t to be taken lightly. D．They can also offer a comfortable experience. E．Rucking-like exercises can offer significant benefits. F．It’s good to start as light as 5-10 percent of the body weight. G．Do pack them uniformly to avoid rubbing or uneven distribution. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五16】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）In the digital age, it’s quite easy to access anything you want right away through your digital devices — including books. 1 They’re better for your eyes. The blue light from screens can be harmful to your eyes. Studies have shown that light can actually harm the eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can cause redness and dryness. 2 You’ll keep more information. A 2014 study found that readers who use printed books absorb more information than those who read digitally on e-readers. Holding a physical book in your hands helps you stay focused. 3 Scientists owe this better absorption to the tactile (触觉的) experience of holding the book, as well as the fact that readers could see their progression easier in a physical book. 4 Whether you’re reading on an iPhone, Kindle, or some other devices, digital e-readers typically mean you have the Internet at your fingertips, As a result, it can easily cause you to surf the web. Having a physical book prevents you from quickly jumping to a new page or responding to a notification, meaning you’ll be less likely to get disturbed by other things. Physical books improve your sleep habits. Routine research has shown that the blue light from screens and devices change our melatonin (褪黑激素) levels and circadian (生理节奏的) cycles. 5 Therefore, you’ ll have more difficulty enjoying a good night’s rest. Instead of reading an e-book, choose a physical copy that is gentler on your eyes and sleep schedule. A．It also allows you to remember more. B．You’ll be more likely to get focused. C．It can weaken your ability to fall asleep at night. D．However, blue light tells your brain that you should be awake. E．It’s impossible to ignore the popularity of digital entertainment. F．Luckily, with printed books, this is not something to worry about. G．With the growing popularity of e-books, it’s worth considering the benefits of physical ones. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五17】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity, 1 . I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper. 2 . And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script. And indeed, in 2010, the Common Core standards stopped requiring the teaching of cursive (草书) in public schools. But it appears the tide is turning, and the curlicued (花体的) linked letters — and block printing, too, my personal print of choice — will not go down without a fight. A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians. 3 . While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore. A report in Psychology Today describes the importance to brain development of learning cursive, during the course of which “the brain develops functional specialization that integrates both sensation, movement control, and thinking”. Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers. You have to pay attention and think about what and how you are doing it. 4 . Brain imaging studies show that cursive activates areas of the brain that do not participate in keyboarding.” 5 . But some traditional skills are too lovely to lose, especially when they come with so many benefits that don’t require an office full of electronics to receive. A．You have to practice B．And it’s a good thing C．Maybe I’m just old- fashioned D．This actually calms that person down and retrains the brain E．we run the risk of losing sight of what we think and write F．I loved it when my daughters started learning cursive in school G．my inner self longs for the simple pleasures of a 19th- century life 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五18】（24-25高三上·云南大理·开学考试）Sustainable travel is now one of the fastest-growing movements. Its goal is to meet the needs of the tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments. 1 Here are some concrete ways to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler. 2 Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away. It’s the art of exploration, discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby. Find somewhere nearby you haven’t been, get in your car, and go for a visit. You never know what you’ll come across. Make greener transportation choices. After walking, public transportation is the next best way to explore new destinations. 3 When it comes to longer distances, buses and trains are your best way of getting around, both of which can be quite an experience in and of itself. Avoid over-visited destinations. If you can, avoid places with over-tourism. You’ll find fewer crowds and lower prices, and you also won’t be putting as much pressure on local communities struggling to keep up. And, from a personal-enjoyment point of view, who wants to deal with crowds or long lines? No one. 4 Take a nature-related trip. If you want to better understand and appreciate the natural world, try taking a trip with the single purpose of connecting with nature. 5 I promise that when you come home, you’ll have a new viewpoint on why we’re all so focused on being environmentally friendly these days. A．Stay close to home. B．Find an ideal place to explore. C．Sustainable travel can be useful to support communities. D．Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s cheaper as well. E．Get in touch with the world in a way that sitting at home doesn’t. F．If not managed properly, tourism can have incredibly negative impacts. G．Visiting less-visited destinations can be much more enjoyable and rewarding. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五19】（24-25高三上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习）Generations of children may all have shared a dream: the abolition of homework. But educators wouldn’t assign it if it didn’t serve a good purpose. Teachers give several reasons for handing out at-home assignments, including developing students’ critical thinking, assessing their skills and knowledge, and motivating them to learn. 1 In addition to teachers, parents often are strong proponents of homework. They believe kids need the challenge of homework to be successful and prepared for college and career. Critics of homework have their own arguments. 2 In elementary school, according to Kohn, no correlation has been found between homework and test scores. Moreover, a study of schools in 47 countries found that countries that assigned the least amount of homework had much higher test scores than countries with the most homework assigned. 3 In 1901, California banned homework for students at 14 years old and younger. The ban remained in effect until 1917. In the 1930s, the American Child Health Association branded homework as a form of child labor. While there is little agreement between proponents and critics of homework, there’s general agreement that homework shows little benefit at the grade school level. 4 There’s a belief that homework develops a child’s self-discipline. It teaches them good work habits, responsibility, and independence. After all, parents might say, that’s how they acquired those virtues. 5 A．Homework has nothing to do with test scores in primary school. B．Schools have tried to go homework-free in past generations. C．One thing we know to be true is that parents and educators will insist on assigning it, and students will complain, procrastinate, and eventually suffer through it. D．Because they believe their children can learn some virtues through homework. E．None is more effective than the fact that homework can’t be proven to be helpful. F．The most popular response was “helping students practice skills or to prepare for tests”. G．But the desire to assign homework persists. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五20】（23-24高三上·甘肃兰州·期中）Few sights fill you with nostalgia (怀旧) like the fireflies dancing at night. 1 Their populations are declining around the world as the threats against them are increasing. Sara Lewis, an expert who studies the insects, offers tips on what you can do to ensure that fireflies will continue to light up your backyard. Create a firefly habitat 2 With about 2, 000 different species of fireflies, there’s a wide variety of environments in which they thrive (繁衍) —including wetlands, forests, and even city parks—which is why some species are more threatened than others. “You can recreate those conditions in your own backyard simply by leaving some leaf litter around the edges of your property, “ Lewis says. ”That’s a good microhabitat for fireflies.” 3 Flashing lights are an important part in fireflies life. As the sun sets, male fireflies move around while flashing their lights to signal their interest. If a nearby female is interested, she flashes back from her position to the ground, and the males fly down to find her. “All of that has to happen for the next generation to survive,” says Lewis. “However, light pollution makes those scenes much harder to see. It’s like cutting a phone line. It really stops the romance. 4 You can draw your curtains shut at night and turn off the lights completely when possible.” Stop using pesticides (杀虫剂) Using pesticides in your yard also poses an existential threat to fireflies, which are insects after all. 5 . Scientists are researching alternatives to chemical pesticides that could target specific species, like mosquitoes, while leaving other insects unharmed. A．Reduce light pollution B．Make a fire in the open air C．Luckily, there are some solutions D．But these beloved insects are in trouble E．The living conditions of fireflies are getting better F．The biggest threat facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats G．Most of the pesticides will kill less-beloved insects as well as fireflies 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五21】（2024·山西·二模）How Gardeners Can Reduce Risk of Fire If you are selecting plants for your garden, knowing which plants offer some fire resistance and which are more flammable (易燃的) can serve you well. Quicker to catch fire Plants like bamboo that produce flammable substances such as aromatic oils, resins (树脂), wax, or sap, are among the quickest to catch fire. 1 Trees with thin bark (树皮) that falls off are usually more flammable than those without. And fine-needled plants like pine, juniper, and spruce contain resins. 2 Many kinds of grasses are highly flammable. Their ability to catch fire increases when they are left to stand dry over winter or during periods without rain. Additionally, too much heat dries out the soil and under such conditions, many kinds of plants turn into a fire starter. Native vs. non-native As a group, native plants aren’t necessarily less flammable than introduced kinds of plants. 3 That is because they spread quickly and are usually left alone by wildlife. The non-native plants spread faster than native plants, and often tolerate heat, heavy rain and lack of water better. For the best fire resistance, choose trees that lose their leaves every year, like ash, and maple, rather than fine-needled trees. 4 Those plants with water-filled leaves include ice plants and sedums. Some groundcover plants are also slow burners. What to look for in plants The Washington State University Extension Service has published advice for choosing plants that are fire-resistant. 5 They include: •High water content in leaves. •Little or no seasonal gain of dead plant material. •Open branching (they provide less fuel for fires). •Fewer total branches and leaves. A．Some plants are more flammable than others. B．Plants with water-filled leaves are slow to burn. C．But non-native plants often are a greater fire risk. D．Many plants have qualities that do not burn easily. E．All plants might catch fire under the right conditions. F．Their needle-like leaves increase the risk of fire when left on the ground. G．They will often catch fire even if they have been well-watered and cared for. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五22】（24-25·河南郑州·期中） Low-effort things you can do to live sustainably You might think you need to change a lot of your daily habits to live sustainably but, in fact, becoming more eco-friendly is much easier than it might seem. Below are some easy steps towards becoming more sustainable. Shop at farmer markets. Getting your daily fruit and vegetables from a local farmer market is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint while eating healthily. It cuts out lengthy stays of the products in refrigerated storage and up to thousands of miles of fossil-fueled transportation. 1 Practice meatless Mondays. Global meat production is a big contributor to greenhouse gasses. 2 It isn’t necessary either. Many people reducing their meat consumption by a small amount would still have a great impact. According to a study, you could reduce your carbon footprint by as much as 8 pounds each week just by practicing meatless Mondays only. Dispose of unused medications properly. Flushing (冲) unused medications down the drain (下水道) can pollute water supplies affecting everything downstream. You shouldn’t throw medications away either as they can be dangerous for others to find. 3 Leftover medications can be chemically dealt with and disposed of in a safe and secure way there. 4 It is easy to understand that buying something used is more environmentally friendly than buying something new and clothes are no exception. 5 According to the United Nations, the fashion industry is responsible for 2% - 8% of global carbon emissions (排放量). Buying something used keeps things out of landfills and reduces demand for new items. A．Shop second-hand. B．Think twice before shopping. C．A meatless diet can help prevent disease. D．The best option is to take them to a collection site. E．It is not practical to expect everyone to go vegetarian, F．Additionally, less plastic in packaging reduces plastic waste. G．The fast-fashion industry consumes considerable resources each year. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五23】（24-25高三上·云南昆明·开学考试）While there is no denying that plastics are convenient, it has led to a severe global plastic pollution. 1 . The biggest impact you can have is reducing single use plastics. Here are some ways on how you can help. ●Bring your own cup everywhere. 2 . I have a large stainless steel (不锈钢) bottle for water. Whenever I have longer trips, I bring 1-2 Nalgene bottles. Yes, these are made of plastic, but I've had one for 16 years so I don't want to replace it now. Stainless steel is better though, as it contains nothing possibly affecting your health. ●Refuse bags and really reuse the ones you have. Keep reusable bags in your car for shopping and if you have a large purse, just put small items in your purse rather than getting a bag. 3 . Even paper bags are not the best for the environment because of their carbon footprint. ●Put produce directly in your cart. Your apples, oranges, and tomatoes don't need a bag! I can only think of a few items that are hard to put directly into the cart (e. g. green beans, mushrooms) . 4 . For the items that do need bags, you can use these reusable produce bags. ● 5 . There may be as many as 8 billion plastic straws (吸管) littering shorelines around the world, many of which end up damaging ecosystems and harming ocean creatures. Metal and paper straws are better choices for those who need to use straws and are able to make the change. But if you can avoid the straw altogether, even better. A．Keep one in the car B．Keep clear of plastic straws C．For the rest, skip the plastic bags D．Clear the ecosystem of plastic straws E．Over 40% of plastics are used just once F．Make sure you use your reusable bags repeatedly G．Its convenience makes it difficult for us to give it up 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五24】（23-24高三上·四川成都·期中）Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. 1 There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults. 2 Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies focus on this aspect. For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 3 They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy. So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults, especially their parents’ behaviors. 4 And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children. Researchers say that children need role models who can guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies. 5 A．It’s so good going for a walk around trees. B．Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety. C．That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. D．What’s more important is that they spend time together with children exploring nature. E．They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively. F．In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors. G．Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature. 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五25】（2024·陕西咸阳·二模）In today’s world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing. 1 . Use your laptop more than your desktop Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop computers use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source that drains energy. 2 . Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer. Charge your phone in airplane mode and before bedtime While charging, switch your phone to airplane mode, so that the phone does not slow down the charging process by continually burning energy trying to connect with cell phone towers and plot your location with its GPS function. When you switch to airplane mode your phone charges more quickly. The brighter the screen setting, the more power it uses and vibration uses more energy than a ringtone. 3 , therefore less energy consumption. And remember-unplug your charger if not in use! Unplug mobile phone and laptop chargers Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use. 4 . When the power strip is left on, the devices plugged into it continue to use energy and actually increase your energy usage. The Northern Resources Defense Council found that devices in sleep or standby mode account for about one- quarter of all residential energy consumption. 5 Reduce your carbon footprint by organizing your files and eliminating unnecessary data from cloud storage! Companies offering cloud data storage need warehouses filled with servers running nonstop. These data centers consume massive amounts of energy since they require AC systems to avoid overheating. A．Low Power Mode also saves battery life B．Delete unwanted files from cloud storage C．Saving energy is now easier with these tips from UNICEF D．Therefore, energy conservation has never been more pressing E．Unused electronic appliances may produce harm to the environment F．Deenergization will save you energy, money, and can prevent electrical fires G．Make sure to unplug your laptop from the power source once it’s fully charged 试卷第26页，共26页 25 / 26 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 $$ 《2025年新八省新高考英语满分通关练》 专题28【汇编】新八省期中阅读理解七选五通关16篇 （满分攻略+八省名校模拟）解析版 （山西、河南、陕西、内蒙古、四川、云南、宁夏、青海） ( 七选五 满分 作答解题 妙招 ) 一、七选五思维导图 二、七选五解题策略 三、七选五十大技巧 技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。 因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此……以至于等。 技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系 转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有：however然而等。 技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系 前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子、类比等）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。 技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系 递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有：also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且，此外等。 技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系 表示列举关系的有：firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一，首先for one thing首先等。 技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代 英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。 技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词 英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言，上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。 技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词 上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题 技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首 假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。 技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾 所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。 如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。 段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。 ( 新八省期中 名校 模拟试题 ) 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五01】（24-25高三上·山西晋中·阶段练习）Spending too many nights trying to fall asleep — or worrying there aren’t enough ZZZs in your day? You’re not alone. Experts say nearly one-third of American adults don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours a night. The major causes? 1 . Here are some simple tricks suggested by experts. Create a routine Work-related stress is unavoidable. 2 . For example, don’t check email just before going to bed. Instead, create a routine where you can relax with a book or engage in a hobby with your loved ones. Anything that helps you release the tension from the day will help promote sleep. 3 “Eating a large meal can disrupt your sleep because it’s like giving your body a really large job to do right before sleep at a time when things are supposed to be shutting down.” said Dr. Annise Wilson, a professor at Baylor University. “But don’t go to bed super-hungry. either. Try snacks with protein or healthy fats, like cheese or peanut butter on whole grain bread.” Avoid alcohol and caffeine While alcohol can help you fall asleep initially, it can disrupt your sleep cycle, reducing the quality of sleep and increasing the chances you’ll wake up more often in the middle of the night. Caffeine can block adenosine, a chemical that contributes to the feeling of sleepiness and it can take your body up to 4 hours to clear caffeine. 4 . Talk to your doctor If nothing’s working, it’s time to go to a doctor. This is especially true if your sleepless nights are affecting your work or mood. “ 5 ,” Dr. Annise Wilson said. “Then it’s time to seek some professional help.” A．Limit technology B．Watch what you eat C．At a certain point, even relaxation won’t work D．They include stress and a culture that is all about work, not rest E．Having a cup of coffee or wine before bedtime might feel relaxing F．For these reasons, finish up your coffee or wine several hours before bedtime G．But you can leave your daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bedtime 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．B 4．F 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了改善睡眠的几个技巧。 1．根据空格前的句子“Experts say nearly one-third of American adults don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours a night. The major causes?(专家表示，近三分之一的美国成年人没有达到建议的每晚7到9小时的睡眠时间。主要原因是什么?)”可知，空格处的句子应该是回答上一句的问题，即：人们缺乏睡眠的主要原因是什么？D项“They include stress and a culture that is all about work, not rest(它们包括压力和一种只注重工作而不是休息的文化)”正是该为题的答案：压力和一种只注重工作而不是休息的文化。所以，D项填入空格处，符合语境。故选D项。 2．空格前的句子“Work-related stress is unavoidable.(工作压力是不可避免的。)”说工作压力不可避免；而空格后的例子“For example, don’t check email just before going to bed. Instead, create a routine where you can relax with a book or engage in a hobby with your loved ones.(例如，不要在睡觉前查看电子邮件。相反，你应该养成一种习惯，在那里你可以看书放松，或者和你爱的人一起从事一项爱好。)”是建议睡觉前不要去干和工作有关的事，所以，空格处的句子应该和上文是转折关系，和下文是顺接关系，建议睡觉前忘掉工作，所以G项“But you can leave your daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bedtime(但是你可以在睡前一小时左右把你的日常工作抛在脑后)”填入空格处，符合语境。关系G项。 3．空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文“‘Eating a large meal can disrupt your sleep because it’s like giving your body a really large job to do right before sleep at a time when things are supposed to be shutting down.’ said Dr. Annise Wilson, a professor at Baylor University. ‘But don’t go to bed super-hungry. either. Try snacks with protein or healthy fats, like cheese or peanut butter on whole grain bread.’(‘吃一顿大餐会扰乱你的睡眠，因为这就像在睡觉前给你的身体一个非常大的工作要做，而这个时候一切都应该停止。’贝勒大学教授安妮丝•威尔逊博士说。‘但是不要饿着肚子睡觉。试试含有蛋白质或健康脂肪的零食，比如全麦面包上的奶酪或花生酱。’)”可知，该部分主要是建议注意饮食。所以，B项“Watch what you eat(注意饮食)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。 4．空格前的句子“While alcohol can help you fall asleep initially, it can disrupt your sleep cycle, reducing the quality of sleep and increasing the chances you’ll wake up more often in the middle of the night. Caffeine can block adenosine, a chemical that contributes to the feeling of sleepiness and it can take your body up to 4 hours to clear caffeine.(虽然酒精可以帮助你入睡，但它会扰乱你的睡眠周期，降低睡眠质量，增加你在半夜醒来的几率。 咖啡因可以阻止腺苷，这种化学物质会让你感到困倦，你的身体可能需要4个小时才能清除咖啡因。)”是说喝酒或喝咖啡对睡眠的不良影响，所以，空格处的句子应该是建议“睡觉前不喝酒或咖啡”，所以F项“For these reasons, finish up your coffee or wine several hours before bedtime(由于这些原因，在睡觉前几小时喝完咖啡或酒)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选F项。 5．空格处是Dr. Annise Wilson所说的话，根据下文他说的“Then it’s time to seek some professional help.(那么是时候寻求一些专业帮助了。)”可知，空格处应该是说对睡眠没有作用的方面，才涉及到下文的“寻求一些专业帮助”，所以，C项“At a certain point, even relaxation won’t work(在某种程度上，即使放松也不起作用)”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选C项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五02】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress? Despite all your best effort, it felt like you were running on a treadmill — working hard but not going anywhere. 1 Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. 2 Self-doubt and anxiety about whether you’re making any progress can sabotage your goals even if you’re in fact making significant progress just below the surface. If you think your goal might take some time to manifest change, try setting a “re-evaluation date” before you quit and give up on yourself too early. For a “re-evaluation date”, simply pick a day on the calendar that makes sense for the size and scope of your particular goal. Then refuse to rethink, reassess, or self-doubt your decisions until that day. 3 There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences — and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. 4 If you constantly feel negative while working towards your goal, you’ll quickly come to resent it and will be more likely to quit. So if you’re feeling frustrated about a goal, remember that there just might be a lot of things happening under the surface you’re not aware of. And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... 5 A．You will eventually see results. B．But below, a huge iceberg is forming. C．Those are the things that really matter. D．Celebrate your failures as much as your successes. E．Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. F．If so, there are a few key things that can help you stay on track. G．If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．E 4．G 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕在追求目标时努力却不见进展的情况展开讨论，提出了设置重新评估日期、将挫折和失败重新定义为学习经验、专注于享受追求目标的过程等几个关键方法，强调结果不是一切，在追求目标过程中的学习、成长和享受才是真正重要的事情。 1．根据上文“Have you ever had a goal that no matter how hard you worked, or how many hours you dedicated, it just didn’t seem to make any progress?

(如果是这样，有一些关键因素可以帮助你保持正轨。)”承上启下，If so承接上文提到的问题，there are a few key things that can help you stay on track引出下文的建议。故选F项。 2．根据上文“Set yourself a re-evaluation date. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor can be like an iceberg. Only a small part is visible above the water. (给自己设定一个重新评估的日期。有时，你的劳动成果就像一座冰山。在水面上只能看到一小部分。)”可知，劳动成果表面上看起来只是一小部分，但是下面可能是一座巨大冰山，与B项“But below, a huge iceberg is forming. (但在下面，一座巨大的冰山正在形成。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 3．根据上文“There’s nothing more demoralizing and frustrating than feeling like you’re constantly messing up or self-sabotaging your own goal. Instead of seeing setbacks and failures as negative things, reframe them in your mind as learning experiences—and those experiences can be some of the best teachers! (没有什么比感觉自己不断搞砸或自我破坏自己的目标更令人沮丧的了。与其将挫折和失败视为消极的事情，不如在脑海中将它们重新构建作为学习经历——这些经历可以成为最好的老师！)”可知，本段主要讲述要把挫折和失败看做学习经历，与E项“Reframe all your setbacks and failures as learning experiences. (将你所有的挫折和失败重新定义为学习经验。)”为最佳标题，故选E项。 4．根据上文“Also focus on enjoying the doing. It’s easy to get caught up worrying about how much progress you’re making and forget to enjoy the actual journey. (也要专注于享受正在做的。很容易陷入担心自己取得了多少进步，而忘记了享受实际旅程。)”可知，要在努力实现目标的过程中找到快乐，与G项“If you can find joy working towards your goals, then you will have won half the battle. (如果你能在朝着你的目标努力中找到快乐，那么你就赢得了一半的胜利。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选G项。 5．根据上文“And remember, results aren’t everything. Learning, growing, enjoying yourself along the way... (请记住，结果并不是一切。一路上学习、成长、享受自己......)”可知，结果不是一切，学习、成长和享受过程才是真正重要的，与C项“Those are the things that really matter. (这些才是真正重要的事情。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五03】（24-25高三上·陕西西安·阶段练习）When faced with a glass half full of water, some people perceive it to be half full, while others view it as half empty.

When you’re so fully engaged in what you’re doing that you don’t notice the passage of time, you are in a state called “flow”, which is associated with joy. In your daily life, try to increase the number of “flow” experiences in which you lose yourself. 2 Take a moment to do nice things for others throughout your day. Treating other people well brings on positive results. It makes you feel generous and capable and leads you to feel grateful for your own situation. It also gives joy to other people and leads them to like you more and repay in your times of need. 3 . Express gratitude Counting your blessings is a great way to review the positive things in your life. One way to do this is by taking time during the week to consider three or five things for which you are currently grateful. 4 . You can do it when you're going to sleep at night or during your commute (上下班路程) . Another idea is to call or write a note of appreciation to an important person in your life.

(当你全神贯注地做你正在做的事情，以至于你没有注意到时间的流逝时，你就处于一种叫做“心流”的状态，这与快乐有关)”说明了“心流”的状态。空处引出下文“心流”的概念。B项中的“Become absorbed in”和下文中的“you’re so fully engaged in”相呼应，说明“全神贯注于你所做的事情”，这样就会出现“心流”状态。故选B。 2．下文“Take a moment to do nice things for others throughout your day. Treating other people well brings on positive results. (花点时间在一天中为别人做些好事。善待他人会带来积极的结果)”说明做好事和善待他人会有积极的效果。A项“践行随机的善意行为”适合作本段的主旨句，该项中的“acts of kindness”和下文中的“do nice things for others”相呼应。故选A。 3．上文“It makes you feel generous and capable and leads you to feel grateful for your own situation. It also gives joy to other people and leads them to like you more and repay in your times of need.(它让你感到慷慨和有能力，并让你对自己的处境感到感激。它也给别人带来快乐，让他们更喜欢你，并在你需要的时候回报你)”说明了善待别人之后自我感受的变化。空处顺接上文，补充和总结了这种积极变化带来的结果。所以F项“这反过来又有助于发展你自己的自我价值”，符合语境。故选F。 4．上文“Counting your blessings is a great way to review the positive things in your life. One way to do this is by taking time during the week to consider three or five things for which you are currently grateful.(感恩是一种很好的方式，可以回顾生活中积极的方面。其中一个做法是在一周中花些时间思考你现在所感激的三到五件事)”以及下文“You can do it when you're going to sleep at night or during your commute (上下班路程) .(你可以在晚上睡觉或上下班途中做这件事)”说明感恩的积极效果，并介绍了具体做法。空处承上启下，C项中的This指代上文中“在一周中花些时间思考你现在所感激的三到五件事”，而下文中的it指代C项中的thinking，所以C项“这可以通过思考来完成。”符合语境。故选C。 5．上文“Sharing successes and accomplishments with others has been linked to elevated joy and well-being.When your cousin or best friend wins an honor, congratulate them and celebrate it.(与他人分享成功和成就与提升快乐和幸福感有关。当你的堂兄或最好的朋友赢得荣誉时，祝贺他们并庆祝)”说明与他人分享好消息后的积极效果。空处顺接前文，说明在和他人分享成功的场合中，应当充分享受当中的乐趣。所以E项“尽量充分享受这个场合”，符合语境。故选E。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五04】（24-25高三上·陕西渭南·阶段练习）It won’t hurt as much when you say something mean about me if I say it about myself first. For decades, this had been my practice, a type of self-defence mechanism I developed as a kid against those who would criticize, bully (欺凌) or belittle me. 1 “I know I can be too much, and you’re probably sick of me,” I’d tell friends, which was a statement born less out of self-awareness and more out of fear. 2 In fact, a lot of women are conditioned to be this way, says psychologist Dr. Traci Stein, who is also an author and creator of a series of programs to fight critical self-talk and build self-sympathy. Self-criticism is any thought that highlights a fault or problem you have — or think you have. As Stein points out, critical thoughts are often untrue. 3 The good news about these negative thoughts is that they are just that: thoughts. 4 It starts by developing a positive mindset through self-sympathy. “Be aware of the negative thoughts and interrupt that internal dialogue,” Stein says. “Change them into something positive. Speak to yourself kindly, like you would to someone you love and care about. You’d never tell your child that they are stupid and ugly, so don’t speak to yourself that way either.” Getting cures from our experts will help you build self-sympathy and bar harmful critical thoughts. 5 “A good expert will help you learn to recognize these thoughts, challenge them and come up with anxiety-management strategies.” A．Easier said than done? B．And you can change your thoughts. C．The self-criticism quickly took on a life of its own. D．Having negative thoughts about ourselves is human nature. E．I’m not the only one who made self-criticizing a personality characteristic. F．However, the irony of these thoughts is that they often have the opposite result. G．Self-critical thoughts can be really sticky, especially if you’ve made a habit of them, Stein says. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．F 4．B 5．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了自我批判式人格特征的形成原因、危害及其治疗方法。 1．根据上文“For decades, this had been my practice, a type of self-defence mechanism I developed as a kid against those who would criticize, bully(欺凌) or belittle me.(几十年来，这一直是我的做法，是我小时候针对那些批评、欺负或贬低我的人开发的一种自卫机制。)”和下文“ ‘I know I can be too much, and you’re probably sick of me,’ I’d tell friends, which was a statement born less out of self-awareness and more out of fear. (“我知道我可能太过分了，你可能已经厌倦了我，”我会告诉朋友，这句话与其说是出于自我意识，不如说是出于恐惧。)”可知，下文是作者对自我批评使用的具体例子介绍，相对于他让自我批评有了自己的生命力。C项“自我批评很快就有了自己的生命力。”符合上下文语境。故选C。 2．根据下文“In fact, a lot of women are conditioned to be this way, says psychologist Dr. Traci Stein, who is also an author and creator of a series of programs to fight critical self-talk and build self-sympathy. (心理学家Traci Stein博士说，事实上，很多女性都习惯于这种方式，他也是一系列对抗批判性自我对话和建立自我同情的项目的作者和创建者。)”可知，很多女性都习惯于这样。E项“我不是唯一一个把自我批评作为一种人格特征的人。”和下文意思一致。故选 E。 3．根据上文“Self-criticism is any thought that highlights a fault or problem you have—or think you have. As Stein points out, critical thoughts are often untrue. (自我批评是指任何强调你的错误或问题的想法，或者认为你有。正如斯坦因所指出的，批判性思维往往是不真实的。)”可知，批判性思维也会有错的时候。F项“这些想法的讽刺之处在于它们往往会产生相反的结果。”和上文意思一致。故选 F。 4．根据上文“The good news about these negative thoughts is that they are just that: thoughts. (关于这些消极想法的好消息是，它们只是：想法。)”和下文“It starts by developing a positive mindset through self-sympathy. (它始于通过自我同情培养积极的心态。)”可知，错误的想法是可以被改变的。B 项“你可以改变你的想法。”和上下文意思一致。故选B。 5．根据上文“Getting cures from our experts will help you build self-sympathy and bar harmful critical thoughts. (从我们的专家那里获得治疗将帮助你建立自我同情，并阻止有害的批判性思维。)”和下文“A good expert will help you learn to recognize these thoughts, challenge them and come up with anxiety-management strategies. (一个好的专家会帮助你学会识别这些想法，挑战它们，并提出焦虑管理策略。)”可知，选项承接上下文说明求助的原因。G项“自我批评的想法可能非常顽固，特别是如果你已经养成了这种习惯，Stein说”。故选G。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五05】（24-25高三上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习）Parents provide care, protection, love, and support, but it can be easy to forget how much they do on a daily basis.

To choose how you spend your time, ask yourself how you feel when you finish doing a particular activity. Many hobbies enhance your sense of satisfaction. 1 I know many people’s hobby is just scrolling through social media, but the reality is that they feel lost or even worse afterward. 2 When you play video and mobile games, you just sit still or lie down without any movement, which increases your risk of many health issues. You need to be aware of that and strive for balance. So how do you choose a hobby? Just look at it through the lens of the seven pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional mastery, thoughts, relationships and purpose. We need them all for an ideal lifestyle. 3 What hobbies are right for you will vary greatly based on your personality, interests, abilities and resources, but most people have a gut instinct of likes and dislikes. 4 For instance, if you’d like to add more movement to your life, improve your memory and build friendships, you might enjoy a group exercise hobby like Zumba, paddleboard, yoga or “star tour” night hikes. Your options are limited only by your imagination. 5 The answer is individual. Some people focus all their energies on the one thing they are super passionate about, while others enjoy a variety of activities. Regardless, it’s good to try something new every once in a while, as the novelty is good for refreshing boring life. A．Is there a right number of hobbies to have? B．How do hobbies benefit our body, brain and spirit? C．However, some only add to your emptiness and tiredness. D．The other downside of electronic hobbies is little or no exercising. E．A good way to pick a hobby is by considering what you want to improve. F．Luckily, nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits. G．Doing a hobby that engages you in these aspects will make you happy and healthy. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．G 4．E 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了如何选择合适的爱好。 1．根据前文提到的“Many hobbies enhance your sense of satisfaction(许多爱好能提高你的满足感)”以及后文提到的“I know many people’s hobby is just scrolling through social media, but the reality is that they feel lost or even worse afterward. (我知道很多人的爱好只是刷社交媒体，但现实是，他们会感到迷失，甚至更糟。)”可知，这里提到很多爱好能带来满足感，下文说到爱好刷社交媒体会令人感到迷失，甚至更糟，前后形成对比，C选项“然而，有些只会增加你的空虚和疲劳。”符合语境。故选C。 2．根据后文提到的“When you play video and mobile games, you just sit still or lie down without any movement, which increases your risk of many health issues.(当你玩视频和手机游戏时，你只是坐着或躺着不动，这增加了你患许多健康问题的风险。)”可知，此处讲述爱好电子产品会带来健康危险，讲到了这种爱好的不利之处，D选项“电子爱好的另一个缺点是很少或根本不锻炼。”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据前文提到的“Just look at it through the lens of the seven pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional mastery, thoughts, relationships and purpose. We need them all for an ideal lifestyle.(只是从健康的七大支柱来看它：睡眠、营养、运动、情绪控制、思想、人际关系和目标。理想的生活方式需要它们。)”可知，此处讲述选择爱好要从健康和理想的生活方式等方面来考虑，因此推断G选项“有一个能让你在这些方面投入的爱好会让你快乐和健康。”符合语境，these aspects指代上文提到的健康的各个方面，故选G。 4．根据前文提到的“What hobbies are right for you will vary greatly based on your personality, interests, abilities and resources, but most people have a gut instinct of likes and dislikes.(什么样的爱好适合你，取决于你的个性、兴趣、能力和资源，但大多数人都有一种本能的好恶。)”可知，爱好的选择取决于一个人的个性，兴趣等，因此可知，此处将会是选择爱好的方式，E选项“选择爱好的一个好方法是考虑你想要提高什么。”符合语境。故选E。 5．根据后文提到的“The answer is individual. Some people focus all their energies on the one thing they are super passionate about, while others enjoy a variety of activities. (答案因人而异。有些人把所有的精力都集中在一件他们非常热爱的事情上，而另一些人则喜欢各种各样的活动。)”可知，本段讲述选择什么样的爱好因人而异，每个人的爱好各不相同，有的坚持一个爱好，有的有许多爱好，因推断A选项“用多少爱好有合适的数量吗？”符合语境，引出下文对此问题的解释。故选A。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五08】（24-25高三上·山西·阶段练习）Does your son or daughter get really nervous before a game? My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. 1 I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution, so I’ve made a little list of the things that help calm my son, and some of these might work for your kid, as well. 2 It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. 3 Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues. 4 I’ve found that all getting my son to the games a little early and having him stretch is also a great way for him to relax and be ready and focused. Give him chewing gum (口香糖). There is some research available claiming that chewing gum helps calm nerves and reduce stress. According to lifehack.org, chewing gum lowers Cortisol levels, also known as the “stress hormone”. 5 This assists with focus, because chewing warms up the brain. A．Just think twice. B．Don’t talk about it on the way. C．But that’s the last thing I can do. D．It also increases blood flow to the brain. E．Imagine that you are at the same position. F．However, if he wants to talk, pick up a relaxing topic. G．Stretching does wonders for the mind and body before a game. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．F 4．G 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助孩子在比赛前缓解紧张情绪。 1．前文“Does your son or daughter get really nervous before a game? My eldest son does and as a mom I just want to hug him tightly. (你的儿子或女儿在比赛前会很紧张吗？我的大儿子就是这样，作为一个母亲，我只想紧紧地拥抱他)”指出母亲想要通过拥抱来安慰孩子的情绪，后文“I’ve definitely found that being too “Mom” is not always the best solution (我确实发现过于“妈妈”并不总是最好的解决办法)”表明用拥抱来安慰孩子的方式并不总是有效的，因此C项“But that’s the last thing I can do. (但这是我能做的最后一件事)”符合语境，指出这种方式并非最优选，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的that指代前文用拥抱去安慰的做法。故选C。 2．空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且应该和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。后文“It might be your instinct to try to stop his anxiety by reminding him of a bunch of things to think about on your way to the game. Stop. I tried that and all it seemed to do was make him more anxious. (这可能是你的本能，试图通过提醒他在你去比赛的路上要考虑的一堆事情来阻止他的焦虑。停止。我试过了，但似乎只会让他更加焦虑)”表明在路上谈论比赛相关的事情可能会让孩子更加焦虑，因此B项“Don’t talk about it on the way. (别在路上说这个)”符合语境，建议不在路上谈论比赛，契合后文内容。故选B。 3．前文“He told me he didn’t really want to think about every detail before he got there and he just wanted to be able to clear his mind. Besides, that’s what practice is for — working out all those details. (他告诉我，他真的不想在到达那里之前考虑每一个细节，他只是想让自己的头脑清醒一下。此外，这就是练习的目的——解决所有这些细节)”从孩子的角度解释路上不适合谈论比赛细节的原因，因此F项“However, if he wants to talk, pick up a relaxing topic. (但是，如果他想和你聊天，那就找一个轻松的话题)”符合语境，指出如果孩子想说话，应选择轻松的话题，避免讨论比赛细节，和前文构成转折。故选F。 4．前文“Encourage deep breathing and stretching. Deep breathing is a great method for calming nerves. It’s also a great way to get oxygen to the lungs and tissues.

This doesn’t have to be a workout — short, simple “exercise snacks” will do. Goodhew, for example, brushes his teeth while standing on one leg and does stretching positions in bed. 1 “I turn up the music and hope that nobody is looking through the window because it does look a bit wild.” · 2 Whether it’s salted crisps or a bag of sweets, Olympians don’t cut out their guilty pleasures. “I think once you start to take things out of your diet, that’s when your body desires it, so you start wanting it more,” says Christie, whose treat is a coffee or tea sweetened with condensed milk (炼乳). 3 · Drink lots of water. Goodhew drinks two glasses of water before starting his day. 4 While the amount of water you need depends on your body and lifestyle, studies have shown that drinking more water is linked to weight loss and indeed keeps your bones hydrated (含水的) by delivering calcium and other nutrients. · Give priority to sleep. 5 “During my athletic career, you had to learn to sleep because you go to places where you never know if you’re going to get a good night’s sleep,” recalls Christie. A．Give in to your desires now and then. B．Stick to exercise every day to keep fit. C．Another of his easy exercises is dancing. D．For Olympians, rest is just as important as exercise. E．No white sugar or bread, because it’s more processed. F．Similarly, Dame Kelly Holmes admits that she’s a big chocolate fan.

However, it is between early childhood and adolescence that self-concept experiences the most growth. By age two, children begin to differentiate themselves from others. By the ages of three and four, children understand that they are separate and unique selves. 2 . It is based mostly on physical characteristics or concrete details. Yet, children increasingly pay attention to their capabilities, and by about six years old, children can communicate what they want and need. They are also starting to define themselves in terms of social groups. Between the ages of seven and eleven, children begin to make social comparisons and consider how they’re understood by others. At this stage, children’s descriptions of themselves become more abstract. 3 They realize that their characteristics exist on a continuum. For example, a child at this stage will begin to see themselves as more athletic than some and less athletic than others, rather than simply athletic or not athletic. At this point, the ideal self and self-image start to develop. 4 The self-concept established during adolescence is usually the basis for the self-concept for the rest of one’s life. During the adolescent years, people experiment with different roles, personas, and selves. For adolescents, self-concept is influenced by success in areas they value and the responses of others valued by them. 5 . A．This process continues throughout life B．Self-image doesn’t always match reality C．The ideal self is the self we would like to be D．Adolescence is a key period for self-concept E．At this stage, a child’s self-image is largely descriptive F．Success and approval can contribute to greater self-worth into adulthood G．They begin to describe themselves in terms of abilities and not just concrete details 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．G 4．D 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人的自我意识形成的过程。 1．根据空前的“Self-concept begins to develop in early childhood.(自我意识在儿童早期开始发展。)”可知，自我意识在童年早起开始形成，结合空后的“However, it is between early childhood and adolescence that self-concept experiences the most growth.(然而，在幼儿期和青少年之间，自我意识经历了最多的成长。)”可知，自我意识在童年早起和青少年时期成长最快，由此可知，此空讲述的与自我意识的成长阶段有关系，A选项“This process continues throughout life(这个过程贯穿一生)”承接上文的内容，且与空后的内容为转折关系，符合语境。故选A项。 2．根据空前的“By age two, children begin to differentiate themselves from others. By the ages of three and four, children understand that they are separate and unique selves.(到两岁时，孩子们开始把自己和别人区分开来。到三、四岁时，孩子们明白他们是独立的、独特的自我。)”可知，人在三、四岁时开始理解自己是独立的、不同的个体，结合空后的“It is based mostly on physical characteristics or concrete details.(它主要基于物理特征或具体细节。)”可知，此空应是对三、四岁时自我意识的特点进一步介绍，E选项“At this stage, a child’s self-image is largely descriptive(在这个阶段，孩子的自我形象很大程度上是描述性的)”承接上文，介绍三、四岁时自我意识的特点；选项中的“At this stage”指的是上文中的“the ages of three and four”，空后的it指代选项中的“a child’s self-image is largely descriptive”。故选E项。 3．根据空前的“Between the ages of seven and eleven, children begin to make social comparisons and consider how they’re understood by others. At this stage, children’s descriptions of themselves become more abstract.(在7岁到11岁之间，孩子们开始进行社会比较，并考虑别人如何理解他们。在这个阶段，孩子对自己的描述变得更加抽象。)”可知，此处讲述的是7岁到11岁之间的孩子的自我意识的特点是开始变得更加抽象，G选项“They begin to describe themselves in terms of abilities and not just concrete details(他们开始用能力来描述自己，而不仅仅是具体的细节)”讲述的内容是对空前内容的进一步解释，符合语境。故选G项。 4．分析语篇可知，此处为本段的主题句；结合空后的“The self-concept established during adolescence is usually the basis for the self-concept for the rest of one’s life.(在青少年时期建立的自我意识通常是一个人余生自我意识的基础。)”可知，本段讲述的内容应是与青少年时期的自我意识特点相关，D选项“Adolescence is a key period for self-concept(青少年时期是自我意识形成的关键时期)”讲述的是青少年时期是自我意识形成的关键期，与本段讲述的内容一致，符合语境。故选D项。 5．根据空前的“For adolescents, self-concept is influenced by success in areas they value and the responses of others valued by them.(对于青少年来说，自我意识受到他们所重视的领域的成功和他们所重视的其他人的反应的影响。)”可知，成功和他人的评价对青少年的自我意识影响巨大，由此可推断，空后继续讲述的内容应是成功和他人的评价对青少年自我意识形成的影响，F选项“Success and approval can contribute to greater self-worth into adulthood(成功和认可能让你成年后更有自我价值)”讲述的内容是成功和认可对自我价值的影响，是对空前内容的进一步阐述，符合语境。故选F项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五14】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）Green-roofed structures date back to many years ago, even before the concept of housing as it is known today was birthed. The earliest green roofs came in the form of sod (草皮) roofs above caves. Plants were used on top of the caves for ceremonial and agricultural purposes. 1 . The most famous green roof of all time was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The gardens were documented as one of the seven wonders of the world at the time. 2 . The gardens were built over arched (拱形的) stones covered with waterproof reeds (芦苇). As modernity began, most people switched to iron sheets and roofing tiles. With these options available, a few considered the idea of green roofing. As industrialization kicked in, more roofing options made the Hanging Gardens of Babylon seem like an ancient idea. Years of worsening environment, due to the agricultural and industrial revolution, followed. 3 . The world soon realized that preserving green spaces was key to human survival. As a result, most people started paying attention to nature, leading to the revival (复兴) of green roofs. Modern green roofing technology took shape around the 1960s. It all started when Germany invented technology against roof access. The new technology was heavily marketed, and most people in Germany started adopting green roofs. 4 . Today, green roofs are growing in popularity across the world, and America is leading the race. Research shows that the global green roofs market grew by 17.7％ in 2023 from $1.53 billion in 2022 to 1.80 billion. The market is expected to hit $3.31 billion by 2027. 5 . Such roofs are designed in such a way that they can hold water and grow plants throughout the year. In most cases, the plants grown on green roofs do not require much water and so often don’t have irrigation. However, fixing a green roof is not a straightforward affair. A．In designing a green roof, there are some traps that need avoiding B．Eventually, the effects of environmental worsening started appearing C．In simple terms, green roofs are any roofs that feature green living matter D．Since then, many more technologies have come up that have advanced green roofs E．Over time, sod roofs lost their value due to natural disasters and borrowing by animals F．Although similar to what a green roof looks like today, their engineering was quite different G．If you intend to use a green roof, you must make sure you have a stable foundation and walls 【答案】1．E 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了绿色屋顶的历史、发展、现代技术应用以及其对环境和生存的重要性。 1．空前“The earliest green roofs came in the form of sod roofs above caves.

Today, it’s gaining popularity among people looking for an effective workout without gym equipment. But before you put on that backpack, here’s what you need to know to get started safely. 1 It can cause serious injury to the spine, neck, knees, hips, etc, if not done right. Anyone with a history of injury, particularly related to the knees or lower back should seek professional advice before pursuing rucking. Civilian rucking doesn’t need to be as intense as military training. Start light, and gradually build the weight from there. 2 Starting short is advisable. Limit rucking to once or twice a week to see how your body responds and build up the duration. “I do it when I go out with the dog,” a rucking fan says. “It fits in with my lifestyle.” You don’t need specialized equipment to start rucking. A backpack filled with books,  water bottles, or canned food works just fine. 3 Getting the load distribution and backpack right is a hard thing to do. You can consider backpacks with breathable backspace and waist belts. They can help distribute the load evenly. 4 Wearing supportive boots instead of running shoes when carrying a heavy pack is also preferable. 5 It requires minimal equipment — a backpack and some weight — making it an excellent alternative for those who might find traditional gym exercises boring or inaccessible. So, if you are someone who loves being outdoors, then rucking is a great way to improve your joint health and build a bit of strength and resilience (恢复力). A．Rucking indoors is ideal. B．Rucking is simple and flexible. C．Rucking isn’t to be taken lightly. D．They can also offer a comfortable experience. E．Rucking-like exercises can offer significant benefits. F．It’s good to start as light as 5-10 percent of the body weight.

They can help distribute the load evenly.(你可以考虑带透气靠背和腰带的背包。它们可以帮助平均分配负载。)”可知，用背部空间透气并有腰带的背包会帮助均匀地分配负载，所以下文继续表达这样的背包的好处：也可以提供舒适的负重行走经历。因此推断D项“它们还可以提供舒适的体验。”符合语境。故选D。 5．根据下文内容“It requires minimal equipment — a backpack and some weight — making it an excellent alternative for those who might find traditional gym exercises boring or inaccessible. So, if you are someone who loves being outdoors, then rucking is a great way to improve your joint health and build a bit of strength and resilience (恢复力).(它只需要最少的装备——一个背包和一些重量——这使得它成为那些可能觉得传统的健身房锻炼无聊或难以接近的人的绝佳选择。所以，如果你是一个喜欢户外活动的人，那么跑步是改善关节健康、增强力量和弹性的好方法。)”可知本段总结了负重行走这项运动的好处，简单又灵活。因此推断B项“负重行走简单而灵活。”符合语境。故选B。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五16】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）In the digital age, it’s quite easy to access anything you want right away through your digital devices — including books. 1 They’re better for your eyes. The blue light from screens can be harmful to your eyes. Studies have shown that light can actually harm the eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can cause redness and dryness. 2 You’ll keep more information. A 2014 study found that readers who use printed books absorb more information than those who read digitally on e-readers. Holding a physical book in your hands helps you stay focused. 3 Scientists owe this better absorption to the tactile (触觉的) experience of holding the book, as well as the fact that readers could see their progression easier in a physical book. 4 Whether you’re reading on an iPhone, Kindle, or some other devices, digital e-readers typically mean you have the Internet at your fingertips, As a result, it can easily cause you to surf the web. Having a physical book prevents you from quickly jumping to a new page or responding to a notification, meaning you’ll be less likely to get disturbed by other things. Physical books improve your sleep habits. Routine research has shown that the blue light from screens and devices change our melatonin (褪黑激素) levels and circadian (生理节奏的) cycles. 5 Therefore, you’ ll have more difficulty enjoying a good night’s rest. Instead of reading an e-book, choose a physical copy that is gentler on your eyes and sleep schedule. A．It also allows you to remember more. B．You’ll be more likely to get focused. C．It can weaken your ability to fall asleep at night. D．However, blue light tells your brain that you should be awake. E．It’s impossible to ignore the popularity of digital entertainment. F．Luckily, with printed books, this is not something to worry about. G．With the growing popularity of e-books, it’s worth considering the benefits of physical ones. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文的主旨是介绍阅读纸质书籍相较于电子书的几个优势，包括保护眼睛、更好地吸收信息、减少干扰以及改善睡眠习惯等方面。 1．根据后文“They’re better for your eyes.(它们对你的眼睛更好。)”以及“You’ll keep more information.(你会保留更多的信息。)”以及“Physical books improve your sleep habits.(实体书可以改善你的睡眠习惯。)”可知，后文强调的是纸质书的优势。G选项“With the growing popularity of e-books, it’s worth considering the benefits of physical ones.(随着电子书的日益普及，我们有必要考虑一下实体书的好处。)”引起下文，指出我们要必须考虑实体书的好处，符合语境。故选G。 2．根据前文“The blue light from screens can be harmful to your eyes. Studies have shown that light can actually harm the eyes. Staring at a screen for too long can cause redness and dryness. (屏幕发出的蓝光对眼睛有害。研究表明，光线实际上会伤害眼睛。长时间盯着屏幕会导致皮肤发红和干燥。)”可知，此处强调通过屏幕阅读书籍会伤害眼睛，长时间盯着屏幕甚至会导致皮肤发红和干燥。F选项“Luckily, with printed books, this is not something to worry about.(幸运的是，有了印刷书籍，这就不用担心了。)”中的this指代前文盯着屏幕太长所导致的糟糕情况，同时与本段段旨呼应，强调读纸质书籍能够对纸质书籍带来好处，符合语境。故选F。 3．根据前文“Holding a physical book in your hands helps you stay focused.

(常规研究表明，屏幕和电子设备发出的蓝光会改变我们的褪黑激素水平和昼夜周期。)”可知，此处强调屏幕和电子设备发出的蓝光会改变我们的褪黑激素水平和昼夜周期。C选项“It can weaken your ability to fall asleep at night.(它会削弱你晚上入睡的能力。)”中的it指代前文的“屏幕和电子设备发出的蓝光会改变我们的褪黑激素水平和昼夜周期”这个事实，由此削弱晚上入睡的能力，符合语境。故选C。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五17】（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity, 1 . I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper. 2 . And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script. And indeed, in 2010, the Common Core standards stopped requiring the teaching of cursive (草书) in public schools. But it appears the tide is turning, and the curlicued (花体的) linked letters — and block printing, too, my personal print of choice — will not go down without a fight. A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians. 3 . While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore. A report in Psychology Today describes the importance to brain development of learning cursive, during the course of which “the brain develops functional specialization that integrates both sensation, movement control, and thinking”. Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers. You have to pay attention and think about what and how you are doing it. 4 . Brain imaging studies show that cursive activates areas of the brain that do not participate in keyboarding.” 5 . But some traditional skills are too lovely to lose, especially when they come with so many benefits that don’t require an office full of electronics to receive. A．You have to practice B．And it’s a good thing C．Maybe I’m just old- fashioned D．This actually calms that person down and retrains the brain E．we run the risk of losing sight of what we think and write F．I loved it when my daughters started learning cursive in school G．my inner self longs for the simple pleasures of a 19th- century life 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了手写草书的现状和好处。 1．上文“While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity,(虽然我承认我喜欢现代的便利性)”以及下文“I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper.(我幻想着坐在那里给姐姐写信，书页上写满了文字，还有蘸着墨水的钢笔尖在纸上划过的声音)”说明虽然作者承认现代的便利性，但作者仍然渴望书写的快乐，G项“我内心渴望19世纪生活的简单快乐”与上文形成转折关系，并引出下文，符合题意。故选G。 2．下文“And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script.(我很惊讶地从其他学校的家长那里听说，他们的孩子没有学习草书)”说明作者对于其他孩子没有学习草书感到惊讶，F项“我喜欢女儿们在学校开始学习草书”说明作者对于自己女儿学习草书的态度，并与下文形成对比关系，符合题意。故选F。 3．上文“A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians.(许多州现在要求在学校教授草书，这是教育工作者、研究人员、家长和政治家鼓励的复兴)”说明现在的情况是许多州都要求学校教授草书，以及下文“While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore.(虽然打字和数字文件在防止纸张浪费方面发挥了巨大作用，但如果使用得当，手写的好处不容忽视)”说明手写具有不容忽略的好处，B项中it指代上文提及的情况，B项“这是一件好事”承接上文，说明学校教授草书是一件好书，下文解释原因，B项符合题意。故选B。 4．上文“Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers.

Its goal is to meet the needs of the tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments. 1 Here are some concrete ways to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler. 2 Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away. It’s the art of exploration, discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby. Find somewhere nearby you haven’t been, get in your car, and go for a visit. You never know what you’ll come across. Make greener transportation choices. After walking, public transportation is the next best way to explore new destinations. 3 When it comes to longer distances, buses and trains are your best way of getting around, both of which can be quite an experience in and of itself. Avoid over-visited destinations. If you can, avoid places with over-tourism. You’ll find fewer crowds and lower prices, and you also won’t be putting as much pressure on local communities struggling to keep up. And, from a personal-enjoyment point of view, who wants to deal with crowds or long lines? No one. 4 Take a nature-related trip. If you want to better understand and appreciate the natural world, try taking a trip with the single purpose of connecting with nature. 5 I promise that when you come home, you’ll have a new viewpoint on why we’re all so focused on being environmentally friendly these days. A．Stay close to home. B．Find an ideal place to explore. C．Sustainable travel can be useful to support communities. D．Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s cheaper as well. E．Get in touch with the world in a way that sitting at home doesn’t. F．If not managed properly, tourism can have incredibly negative impacts. G．Visiting less-visited destinations can be much more enjoyable and rewarding. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．D 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可持续旅游，以及一些降低旅行者对环境的影响的具体方法。 1．根据空前“Its goal is to meet the needs of the tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments.（其目标是在不损害自然和文化环境的情况下满足旅游业的需要。）”介绍了可持续旅游及其目标，以及空后“Here are some concrete ways to reduce your environmental impact as a traveler.（这里有一些具体的方法来减少你的旅行对环境的影响。）”建议了一些具体方法来降低旅游对环境的影响。F项“（如果管理不当，旅游业可能会产生令人难以置信的负面影响。）”对开展可持续旅游的原因进行了解释（即“为什么”），承接了上文的“是什么”，同时开启了下文的“怎么做”。故选F。 2．空处应填入本段的中心句。根据空后“Travel doesn’t have to be about going somewhere far away. It’s the art of exploration, discovery and getting out of your comfort zone, all of which can just as well be nearby.（旅行并不一定要去很远的地方。这是一种探索、发现和走出舒适区的艺术，所有这些都可以近在咫尺。）”强调了旅游并不一定要去很远的地方，在附近探索和发现也可以。A项“Stay close to home.（待在家附近。）”符合语境。故选A。 3．本段主旨是“Make greener transportation choices.（选择更环保的交通方式。）”。根据空前“After walking, public transportation is the next best way to explore new destinations.（除了步行，公共交通是探索新目的地的第二佳方式。）”提到公共交通是仅次于步行的探索新目的地的最佳方式。D项“Not only is it better for the environment, but it’s cheaper as well.（它不仅对环境更好，而且更便宜。）”分析了公共交通的好处，解释了为什么要选择公共交通工具，承接上文，符合语境。选项中的it指代的是上文的public transportation。故选D。 4．本段主旨是“Avoid over-visited destinations.（避免去游客过多的目的地。）”。空处位于段尾，应总结本段内容，再次点明主旨。分析选项可知，G项“Visiting less-visited destinations can be much more enjoyable and rewarding.（去探访较少有人去的目的地可能更加令人愉悦和有益。）”总结了本段的内容，符合语境。“Visiting less-visited destinations”是对本段关键信息“over-visited destinations”的反义转述。故选G。 5．根据空前“Take a nature-related trip. If you want to better understand and appreciate the natural world, try taking a trip with the single purpose of connecting with nature.（来一次与大自然有关的旅行。如果你想更好地了解和欣赏自然世界，试着带着与自然联系的唯一目的去旅行。）”可知上文强调，通过“与自然亲近”的旅游，人们可以更好地理解和欣赏自然界。E项中的“Get in touch with the world”指的就是亲近自然，是“connecting with nature”的同义表达。同时，选项中的“sitting at home”也和下文中的“come home”形成呼应。故选E。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五19】（24-25高三上·内蒙古赤峰·阶段练习）Generations of children may all have shared a dream: the abolition of homework. But educators wouldn’t assign it if it didn’t serve a good purpose. Teachers give several reasons for handing out at-home assignments, including developing students’ critical thinking, assessing their skills and knowledge, and motivating them to learn. 1 In addition to teachers, parents often are strong proponents of homework. They believe kids need the challenge of homework to be successful and prepared for college and career. Critics of homework have their own arguments. 2 In elementary school, according to Kohn, no correlation has been found between homework and test scores. Moreover, a study of schools in 47 countries found that countries that assigned the least amount of homework had much higher test scores than countries with the most homework assigned. 3 In 1901, California banned homework for students at 14 years old and younger. The ban remained in effect until 1917. In the 1930s, the American Child Health Association branded homework as a form of child labor. While there is little agreement between proponents and critics of homework, there’s general agreement that homework shows little benefit at the grade school level. 4 There’s a belief that homework develops a child’s self-discipline. It teaches them good work habits, responsibility, and independence. After all, parents might say, that’s how they acquired those virtues. 5 A．Homework has nothing to do with test scores in primary school. B．Schools have tried to go homework-free in past generations. C．One thing we know to be true is that parents and educators will insist on assigning it, and students will complain, procrastinate, and eventually suffer through it. D．Because they believe their children can learn some virtues through homework. E．None is more effective than the fact that homework can’t be proven to be helpful. F．The most popular response was “helping students practice skills or to prepare for tests”. G．But the desire to assign homework persists. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．B 4．G 5．C 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了家庭作业的存在意义，教育者认为其有益，但批评者持反对意见，并指出小学阶段作业益处不大。 1．根据上文“Teachers give several reasons for handing out at-home assignments, including developing students' critical thinking, assessing their skills and knowledge, and motivating them to learn.(教师给出了在家布置作业的几个原因，包括培养学生的批判性思维、评估他们的技能和知识，以及激励他们学习。)”可知，教师们给出了布置家庭作业的几个理由，本空应该补充说明除了这些理由之外，还有其他的原因。故F选项“The most popular response was “helping students practice skills or to prepare for tests”. (最受欢迎的回应是“帮助学生练习技能或为考试做准备”。)”说明了教师们最常给出的理由之一，即帮助学生练习技能或准备考试。其中“helping students practice skills or to prepare for tests”是对上文提到的“assessing their skills and knowledge”的进一步说明。故选F。 2．根据上文“Critics of homework have their own arguments. (家庭作业的批评者有自己的论点。)”可知，本空要说跟“批评者对家庭作业的看法”有关的话题，由后文“In elementary school, according to Kohn, no correlation has been found between homework and test scores.(据科恩说，在小学阶段，家庭作业和考试成绩之间没有发现相关性。)”可知，本空应概括性地表达家庭作业批评者的主要观点，E选项“None is more effective than the fact that homework can't be proven to be helpful.(没有什么比家庭作业无法被证明是有益的这一事实更有效了。)”概括性地表达家庭作业批评者的主要观点，即家庭作业的好处无法被明确证明，符合题意。故选E。 3．根据后文“In 1901, California banned homework for students at 14 years old and younger.

(虽然家庭作业的支持者和批评者之间意见不一，但人们普遍认为，家庭作业在小学阶段的好处微乎其微。)”和下文“There’s a belief that homework develops a child’s self-discipline. (有一种观点认为，家庭作业可以培养孩子的自律能力。)”可知，上文提到尽管家庭作业在小学阶段的好处不大，但接下来的句子提到家庭作业被认为可以培养孩子的自律、良好的工作习惯、责任感和独立性。这里需要一个过渡句来解释为什么即使好处不大，人们仍然认为家庭作业有价值。G选项“But the desire to assign homework persists. (但布置家庭作业的愿望依然存在。)”，能很好地承接上文并引出下文，符合题意。故选G。 5．根据上文提到“There’s a belief that homework develops a child’s self-discipline. It teaches them good work habits, responsibility, and independence. After all, parents might say, that’s how they acquired those virtues. (有一种观点认为家庭作业能培养孩子的自律。它教会他们良好的工作习惯、责任感和独立性。毕竟，家长们可能会说，他们就是这样获得这些美德的。)”可知，这里提到了家庭作业的一些潜在好处，尽管这些好处在小学阶段可能不明显，但家长和教育者仍然坚持布置家庭作业。C选项“One thing we know to be true is that parents and educators will insist on assigning it, and students will complain, procrastinate, and eventually suffer through it. (有一件事我们知道是真的，那就是家长和教育工作者会坚持分配，学生会抱怨、拖延，最终受苦。)”，进一步阐述了家庭作业在实际中的情况，并总结性说明这种观念导致了家庭作业的持续存在。故选C。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五20】（23-24高三上·甘肃兰州·期中）Few sights fill you with nostalgia (怀旧) like the fireflies dancing at night. 1 Their populations are declining around the world as the threats against them are increasing. Sara Lewis, an expert who studies the insects, offers tips on what you can do to ensure that fireflies will continue to light up your backyard. Create a firefly habitat 2 With about 2, 000 different species of fireflies, there’s a wide variety of environments in which they thrive (繁衍) —including wetlands, forests, and even city parks—which is why some species are more threatened than others. “You can recreate those conditions in your own backyard simply by leaving some leaf litter around the edges of your property, “ Lewis says. ”That’s a good microhabitat for fireflies.” 3 Flashing lights are an important part in fireflies life. As the sun sets, male fireflies move around while flashing their lights to signal their interest. If a nearby female is interested, she flashes back from her position to the ground, and the males fly down to find her. “All of that has to happen for the next generation to survive,” says Lewis. “However, light pollution makes those scenes much harder to see. It’s like cutting a phone line. It really stops the romance. 4 You can draw your curtains shut at night and turn off the lights completely when possible.” Stop using pesticides (杀虫剂) Using pesticides in your yard also poses an existential threat to fireflies, which are insects after all. 5 . Scientists are researching alternatives to chemical pesticides that could target specific species, like mosquitoes, while leaving other insects unharmed. A．Reduce light pollution B．Make a fire in the open air C．Luckily, there are some solutions D．But these beloved insects are in trouble E．The living conditions of fireflies are getting better F．The biggest threat facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats G．Most of the pesticides will kill less-beloved insects as well as fireflies 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．C 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。萤火虫遭受的威胁日益增多，其数量也随之急剧下降。为了能继续欣赏萤火虫在夏夜漫天飞舞的唯美景象，Sara Lewis为我们提供了几个实用的办法保护萤火虫。 ·．根据空前“Few sights fill you with nostalgia (怀旧) like the fireflies dancing at night. (很少有什么场景能像萤火虫在夜晚跳舞那样让你充满怀旧之情。)”和“空后“Their populations are declining around the world as the threats against them are increasing. (随着对它们的威胁不断增加，它们在世界各地的数量正在下降。)”可知，本句应用表示转折的词语，与前文的美好相对，表达萤火虫的困境或威胁，才能与空后的句子意境相符。D项“But these beloved insects are in trouble (但是这些可爱的萤火虫却身处困境)”符合题意。D项中的连词“But”表示转折，“in trouble”与空后的“threats”相对应。故选D。 1．根据本节小标题“Create a firefly habitat (创造一个萤火虫栖息地)”及后文“With about 2, 000 different species of fireflies, there’s a wide variety of environments in which they thrive(繁衍)—including wetlands, forests, and even city parks—which is why some species are more threatened than others. (大约有2000种不同种类的萤火虫，它们在各种各样的环境中茁壮成长——包括湿地、森林，甚至城市公园)”可知，此处应谈及和栖息地相关话题。F项“The biggest threat facing fireflies today is the loss of their habitats(如今萤火虫面临的最大威胁就是它们的栖息地逐渐消失)”符合题意。故选F。 3．根据本节内容，尤其是“However, light pollution makes those scenes much harder to see. (然而，光污染使这些场景更难看到。)”可知，本段主要讲述怎样减少光污染对萤火虫的影响。A项“Reduce light pollution (减少光污染)”适合作本节小标题。故选A。 4．根据空后“You can draw your curtains shut at night and turn off the lights completely when possible.(晚上你可以把窗帘拉上，尽可能把灯完全关上。)”可知，这句描述的是对抗光污染的措施，故此处应表达和“措施”相关话题。C项“Luckily, there are some solutions (所幸，我们有解决问题的办法)”符合题意，下文具体介绍了解决办法。故选C。 5．根据本节小标题“Stop using pesticides(杀虫剂) (停止使用杀虫剂)”及空前“Using pesticides in your yard also poses an existential threat to fireflies, which are insects after all. (在你的院子里使用杀虫剂也会对萤火虫构成生存威胁，毕竟萤火虫也是昆虫。)”可知，此处应谈及和杀虫剂相关话题。G项“Most of the pesticides will kill less-beloved insects as well as fireflies (大部分杀虫剂在杀死害虫的同时也会殃及萤火虫)”符合题意。故选G。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五21】（2024·山西·二模）How Gardeners Can Reduce Risk of Fire If you are selecting plants for your garden, knowing which plants offer some fire resistance and which are more flammable (易燃的) can serve you well. Quicker to catch fire Plants like bamboo that produce flammable substances such as aromatic oils, resins (树脂), wax, or sap, are among the quickest to catch fire. 1 Trees with thin bark (树皮) that falls off are usually more flammable than those without. And fine-needled plants like pine, juniper, and spruce contain resins. 2 Many kinds of grasses are highly flammable. Their ability to catch fire increases when they are left to stand dry over winter or during periods without rain. Additionally, too much heat dries out the soil and under such conditions, many kinds of plants turn into a fire starter. Native vs. non-native As a group, native plants aren’t necessarily less flammable than introduced kinds of plants. 3 That is because they spread quickly and are usually left alone by wildlife. The non-native plants spread faster than native plants, and often tolerate heat, heavy rain and lack of water better. For the best fire resistance, choose trees that lose their leaves every year, like ash, and maple, rather than fine-needled trees. 4 Those plants with water-filled leaves include ice plants and sedums. Some groundcover plants are also slow burners. What to look for in plants The Washington State University Extension Service has published advice for choosing plants that are fire-resistant. 5 They include: •High water content in leaves. •Little or no seasonal gain of dead plant material. •Open branching (they provide less fuel for fires). •Fewer total branches and leaves. A．Some plants are more flammable than others. B．Plants with water-filled leaves are slow to burn. C．But non-native plants often are a greater fire risk. D．Many plants have qualities that do not burn easily. E．All plants might catch fire under the right conditions. F．Their needle-like leaves increase the risk of fire when left on the ground. G．They will often catch fire even if they have been well-watered and cared for. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了园丁如何降低火灾风险。 1．根据上文“Plants like bamboo that produce flammable substances such as aromatic oils, resins (树脂), wax, or sap, are among the quickest to catch fire.”（像竹子这样的植物会产生芳香油、树脂、蜡或树液等易燃物质，是最容易着火的植物之一）可知，许多植物具有易燃性特点，故G选项“即使他们被精心浇灌和照顾，他们也经常会着火”切题，其中they指代前文说明的物质，说明易燃的可能性非常大，故选G项。 2．根据上文“Trees with thin bark (树皮) that falls off are usually more flammable than those without. And fine-needled plants like pine, juniper, and spruce contain resins.”（树皮薄而易脱落的树通常比没有树皮的树更易燃。像松树、杜松和云杉这样的细针叶植物含有树脂）可知，F选项“它们针状的叶子留在地上会增加着火的风险”承接上文继续说明易燃的原因，切题。故选F项。 3．根据上文“As a group, native plants aren’t necessarily less flammable than introduced kinds of plants.”（作为一个群体，本地植物并不一定比引进的植物更易燃。）可知，选项承接上文，说明外来植物更易燃。故C选项“但非本地植物往往有更大的火灾风险”切题。故选C项。 4．根据上文“For the best fire resistance, choose trees that lose their leaves every year, like ash, and maple, rather than fine-needled trees.”（为了获得最好的防火性能，选择每年落叶的树木，如白蜡树和枫树，而不是细针叶树）表明哪些树木不易燃；下文“Those plants with water-filled leaves include ice plants and sedums.”（那些叶子充满水分的植物包括冰草和景天属植物）可知，选项承接下文说明的是叶子充满水分的植物的阻燃性。故B选项“叶子充满水分的植物燃烧速度较慢”切题。故选B项。 5．根据上文“The Washington State University Extension Service has published advice for choosing plants that are fire-resistant.”（ 华盛顿州立大学推广服务中心发布了关于选择防火植物的建议。）以及下文“High water content in leaves……”（叶片含水量高……）可知，选项承上启下，说明许多植物有不易燃得特性。故D选项“许多植物具有不易燃烧的特性”切题。故选D项。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五22】（24-25·河南郑州·期中） Low-effort things you can do to live sustainably You might think you need to change a lot of your daily habits to live sustainably but, in fact, becoming more eco-friendly is much easier than it might seem. Below are some easy steps towards becoming more sustainable. Shop at farmer markets. Getting your daily fruit and vegetables from a local farmer market is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint while eating healthily. It cuts out lengthy stays of the products in refrigerated storage and up to thousands of miles of fossil-fueled transportation. 1 Practice meatless Mondays. Global meat production is a big contributor to greenhouse gasses. 2 It isn’t necessary either. Many people reducing their meat consumption by a small amount would still have a great impact. According to a study, you could reduce your carbon footprint by as much as 8 pounds each week just by practicing meatless Mondays only. Dispose of unused medications properly. Flushing (冲) unused medications down the drain (下水道) can pollute water supplies affecting everything downstream. You shouldn’t throw medications away either as they can be dangerous for others to find. 3 Leftover medications can be chemically dealt with and disposed of in a safe and secure way there. 4 It is easy to understand that buying something used is more environmentally friendly than buying something new and clothes are no exception. 5 According to the United Nations, the fashion industry is responsible for 2% - 8% of global carbon emissions (排放量). Buying something used keeps things out of landfills and reduces demand for new items. A．Shop second-hand. B．Think twice before shopping. C．A meatless diet can help prevent disease. D．The best option is to take them to a collection site. E．It is not practical to expect everyone to go vegetarian, F．Additionally, less plastic in packaging reduces plastic waste. G．The fast-fashion industry consumes considerable resources each year. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．D 4．A 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何做一些不费力的事情来可持续地生活。 1．上文“Getting your daily fruit and vegetables from a local farmer market is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint while eating healthily.

The biggest impact you can have is reducing single use plastics. Here are some ways on how you can help. ●Bring your own cup everywhere. 2 . I have a large stainless steel (不锈钢) bottle for water. Whenever I have longer trips, I bring 1-2 Nalgene bottles. Yes, these are made of plastic, but I've had one for 16 years so I don't want to replace it now. Stainless steel is better though, as it contains nothing possibly affecting your health. ●Refuse bags and really reuse the ones you have. Keep reusable bags in your car for shopping and if you have a large purse, just put small items in your purse rather than getting a bag. 3 . Even paper bags are not the best for the environment because of their carbon footprint. ●Put produce directly in your cart. Your apples, oranges, and tomatoes don't need a bag! I can only think of a few items that are hard to put directly into the cart (e. g. green beans, mushrooms) . 4 . For the items that do need bags, you can use these reusable produce bags. ● 5 . There may be as many as 8 billion plastic straws (吸管) littering shorelines around the world, many of which end up damaging ecosystems and harming ocean creatures. Metal and paper straws are better choices for those who need to use straws and are able to make the change. But if you can avoid the straw altogether, even better. A．Keep one in the car B．Keep clear of plastic straws C．For the rest, skip the plastic bags D．Clear the ecosystem of plastic straws E．Over 40% of plastics are used just once F．Make sure you use your reusable bags repeatedly G．Its convenience makes it difficult for us to give it up 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．F 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了减少塑料污染的四点建议。 1．前文“While there is no denying that plastics are convenient, it has led to a severe global plastic pollution.(虽然不可否认塑料很方便，但它导致了严重的全球塑料污染)”表明塑料带来便利的同时也造成全球范围内的塑料污染；空后“The biggest impact you can have is reducing single use plastics.(你能带来的最大影响是减少一次性塑料)”提到个人所能起到的影响便是减少一次性塑料的使用。E选项“超过40%的塑料只使用一次”承接上文中塑料污染严重的原因，也引出了下一句中减少一次性塑料的建议。故选E。 2．本段主旨句“Bring your own cup everywhere.(随处带着你自己的杯子)”表示这段建议外出要带上一个自己的水杯，A选项“Keep one in the car(在车里放一个)”中one指代前一句中的cup，且“in the car”与下一句中的 “longer trips”相呼应。故选A。 3．前文“Keep reusable bags in your car for shopping and if you have a large purse, just put small items in your purse rather than getting a bag.(在你的车里放可重复使用的袋子，如果你有一个大的钱包，就把小的东西放在你的手提包里，而不是拿一个袋子)”表示要使用可重复使用的袋子，F选项“Make sure you use your reusable bags repeatedly(确保重复使用环保袋)”与此处意思一致。故选F。 4．前文“Put produce directly in your cart. Your apples, oranges, and tomatoes don't need a bag! I can only think of a few items that are hard to put directly into the cart (e. g. green beans, mushrooms) .(把农产品直接放进购物车。你的苹果、橘子和西红柿不需要袋子！我只能想到一些很难直接放进购物车的东西（比如青豆、蘑菇）)”提及只有少数农产品需要使用袋子，其余的可以直接放在购物推车中，即，省去塑料袋，C选项“For the rest, skip the plastic bags(对于其他的，不要使用塑料袋)”符合语境。故选C。 5．空处为本段小标题，后文“Metal and paper straws are better choices for those who need to use straws and are able to make the change.

However, few studies focus on this aspect. For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure how connected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 3 They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy. So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults? As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults, especially their parents’ behaviors. 4 And if parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children. Researchers say that children need role models who can guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies. 5 A．It’s so good going for a walk around trees. B．Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety. C．That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example. D．What’s more important is that they spend time together with children exploring nature. E．They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively. F．In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors. G．Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．E 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了许多研究表明接近自然和快乐之间存在联系，但大多数研究都针对的是成年人，而一项新的研究关注的是儿童，这项研究表明接近和关心大自然的孩子更有可能变得积极和开心，而且孩子的行为受到父母影响。 1．前文“Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed.(研究表明，在树间散步使我们放松。)”讲述了研究表明林中散步有助于放松，空处应进一步进行说明，B项“即使只是闻一闻树也有助于减少焦虑。”符合题意，选项中的trees对应前文中的trees，“helps reduce anxiety”与前文中的“makes us relaxed”相对照。故选B。 2．第一段最后一句“There’s plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.(有大量研究表明了生活在大自然中与快乐之间存在联系，但大多数研究都集中在成年人身上。)”指出关于自然与快乐之间关系的大多研究都关注的是成年人，后文“Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions.(在解释这项研究背后的动机时，研究人员指出，随着全球变暖等环境问题的出现，越来越多的研究将重点放在人类与自然之间的关系上，以找到解决这些问题的方法，而地球的未来掌握在儿童及其行动的手中。)”讲述了进行这项研究是因为地球的未来掌握在儿童及其行动的手中，由此可知，空处讲述的是有一项研究关注的是儿童，F项“在一项新的研究中，研究人员想看看孩子们是否能从户外活动中获得同样的好处。”符合题意。故选F。 3．后文“They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.(他们还发现，孩子们越关心环境和自然，他们就越有可能快乐。)”讲述了研究人员还发现的现象，由此可知，空处讲述的应是研究人员的发现，E项“他们发现，与大自然有联系的孩子更有可能表现得更积极。”符合题意，选项中的“They found”和后文中的“They also found”对应。故选E。 4．前文“As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults, especially their parents’ behaviors.(众所周知，孩子通常倾向于跟随成年人，尤其是他们父母的行为。)”讲述了孩子会受到父母行为的影响，空处应对此进行进一步说明，C项“也就是说，当成年人在户外欣赏大自然时，孩子们会效仿榜样。”对前文进行解释说明。故选C。 5．前文“Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.(父母不必是环境科学或自然研究方面的专家。)”讲述了父母不需要成为专家，空处应讲述对孩子真正重要的事情，D项“更重要的是，他们花时间和孩子们一起探索大自然。”符合题意。故选D。 【八省期中汇编·阅读·七选五25】（2024·陕西咸阳·二模）In today’s world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing. 1 . Use your laptop more than your desktop Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop computers use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source that drains energy. 2 . Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer. Charge your phone in airplane mode and before bedtime While charging, switch your phone to airplane mode, so that the phone does not slow down the charging process by continually burning energy trying to connect with cell phone towers and plot your location with its GPS function. When you switch to airplane mode your phone charges more quickly. The brighter the screen setting, the more power it uses and vibration uses more energy than a ringtone. 3 , therefore less energy consumption. And remember-unplug your charger if not in use! Unplug mobile phone and laptop chargers Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use. 4 . When the power strip is left on, the devices plugged into it continue to use energy and actually increase your energy usage. The Northern Resources Defense Council found that devices in sleep or standby mode account for about one- quarter of all residential energy consumption. 5 Reduce your carbon footprint by organizing your files and eliminating unnecessary data from cloud storage! Companies offering cloud data storage need warehouses filled with servers running nonstop. These data centers consume massive amounts of energy since they require AC systems to avoid overheating. A．Low Power Mode also saves battery life B．Delete unwanted files from cloud storage C．Saving energy is now easier with these tips from UNICEF D．Therefore, energy conservation has never been more pressing E．Unused electronic appliances may produce harm to the environment F．Deenergization will save you energy, money, and can prevent electrical fires G．Make sure to unplug your laptop from the power source once it’s fully charged 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．A 4．F 5．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些节能的建议。 1．根据上文“In today’s world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing.(在当今世界，气候变化的后果日益明显，对节能的需求从未像现在这样迫切)”以及后文主要介绍了一些节能的建议。故C选项“有了联合国儿童基金会的这些建议，节能现在变得更容易了”符合语境，故选C。 2．根据后文“Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer.(这不仅有助于减少你的能源消耗，而且还能优化你的笔记本电脑的电池寿命，使其持续更长时间)”可知，本句主要在说明优化笔记本电池寿命的具体方法。故G选项“一旦笔记本电脑充满电，一定要拔掉电源”符合语境，故选G。 3．根据上文“The brighter the screen setting, the more power it uses and vibration uses more energy than a ringtone.(屏幕设置越亮，耗电量越大，震动比铃声消耗的能量更多)”以及后文“therefore less energy consumption(从而减少能源消耗)”可知，可知，本句主要说明可以减少能源消耗的做法，故A选项“低功耗模式还可以节省电池寿命”符合语境，故选A。 4．根据上文“Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use.(不使用的电子产品和电器一定要拔掉插头)”可知，上文提到不使用的电子产品和电器一定要拔掉插头，即断电，本句承接上文说明这么做的好处。故F选项“断电可以节省你的能源、金钱，还可以防止电气火灾”符合语境，故选F。 5．根据本段内容“Reduce your carbon footprint by organizing your files and eliminating unnecessary data from cloud storage!
