Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2024·江西赣州期末)
It was a bright and sunny day. Keegan and I arranged to spend the afternoon at his place. Eager to show me his large collection of toys, he took me to his room. Among all the toys, his most treasured one was a model aeroplane. Keegan said it was a gift from his uncle who worked as a pilot.
I wanted to take a closer look so I asked Keegan if I could hold it in my hands. He graciously agreed. Knowing how easily broken the aeroplane was, I carefully removed it from the display cabinet. Just as I was putting it back, I sneezed. “Snap!”One of the wings of the model aeroplane broke in my hands.
When Keegan saw this, tears welled up in his eyes. Soon, tears started to roll down his cheeks uncontrollably. With my head hung low, I rushed out of his house as I did not know how to comfort him.
For the next few days, I stayed out of Keegan’s way in school. I was worried that he would still be angry with me. Feeling sad without his company, I built up the courage to approach Keegan after school one day. I told Keegan, “I am so sorry for breaking your valuable aeroplane. ”
“It’s okay! Our friendship is more important than a toy aeroplane, ”Keegan replied with a smile.
I was extremely touched when I heard what he said. I offered to fix the broken wing of the damaged aeroplane. Keegan took me to his house and we fixed it together.

There is beauty in each moment of our lives,but often we’re too distracted to notice it. Instead,we spend much of our time worrying about the future or regretting the past,and this habit can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
That’s why many people today are turning to the practice of mindfulness(正念减压法). Simply put,mindfulness means focusing on the present moment. Let’s say you’re sitting in traffic after a long day’s work. Rather than dwelling on(老是想着)an unpleasant incident that occurred earlier or worrying about your schedule for the next day,you might direct your attention to the sound of the rain drops battering the windshield or to a specific image before you. By directing your attention to the here and now,you automatically shift your focus away from self-image,success,and other stress-inducing concerns.
Such a shift in consciousness helps us form more meaningful connections with others and handle problems with greater ease. It also lets us appreciate life’s many little pleasures. So,it’s not surprising that mindfulness has been found to help in the treatment of depression,anxiety,eating disorders,and even physical problems related to stress,such as heart disease,high blood pressure,and upset stomachs.
How do you practice mindfulness?While it’s often associated with meditation,you don’t actually need to be in a particular place or position to cultivate it. In fact,it can be incorporated(使并入) into almost any daily activity,including eating,walking,showering,or doing the dishes. Let’s take this last activity as an illustration:
Begin by bringing your attention to your breath. Inhale(吸入)through your nose allowing the air to expand your belly,and exhale through your mouth. Notice the sensations as each breath goes in and out.
As you engage in the task of washing the dishes,direct your awareness to the scent of the soap,the sound of the running water,and the feel of the suds(肥皂泡沫) between your fingers. Simply be aware of these and any other immediate sensations without forming any judgments about them.
At times,this process may not be relaxing,especially when what you’re doing is boring or unpleasant. Nevertheless,by practicing mindfulness,we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and,over time develop greater happiness.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生活中的美好时刻在我们身边,但我们常常对它视而不见。我们时常担心未来、悔恨过去。那何不试试用“正念”找回真正的人生。
5.Why is the example of “sitting in traffic” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To appreciate beauty at the present moment.
B.To explain the meaning of mindfulness.
C.To describe the traffic accident in the street.
D.To attract the readers’ attention to the traffic.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段可推知,作者以sitting in traffic为例,旨在通过举例的方式来进一步解释说明本段主题,即“mindfulness means focusing on the present moment”。故选B项。
6.Which of the following is the benefit of mindfulness?
A.Finding out problems in study more easily.
B.Helping cure diseases like high blood pressure.
C.Allowing us to enjoy small pleasures in life.
D.Making friends with other people in the traffic.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It also lets us appreciate life’s many little pleasures. ”可知,正念能让我们享受生活中许多小乐趣。故选C项。
7.From the text,mindfulness can be practised by ________.
A.finding a particular place to cultivate it
B.bringing our attention to our breath
C.burying ourselves in washing the dishes
D.putting it to use in our everyday life
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In fact,it can be incorporated(使并入) into almost any daily activity,including eating,walking,showering,or doing the dishes. ”可知,正念可运用到我们的日常生活中。故选D项。
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.The reasons why people begin to practise mindfulness.
B.The differences between mindfulness and meditation.
C.The benefits of mindfulness and the way to practice it.
D.The ways we should keep healthy mentally and physically.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据文章最后一段中的“by practicing mindfulness,we can learn to accept whatever situations life brings us and,over time develop greater happiness”可知,本文先介绍了正念减压法的含义和好处,然后告诉我们怎样进行正念减压训练。故选C项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. __1__ First,work on changing your own behavior. Then,find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you.
Changing Your Behavior
·Think before you speak. __2__ Sometimes,it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing.
·Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action,you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision,you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful.
·Focus on positives. Oftentimes,being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However,the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. __3__
Communicating More Effectively
·__4__ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However,feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue,focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve,which is more effective than criticizing.
·Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. __5__ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct,respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.
·Consider the other party’s perspective. If you criticize others too often,you may be shutting out the other person’s point of view. Try to step in another person’s shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas.
A.Give feedback rather than criticism.
B.However,there are ways to avoid criticism.
C.Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.
D.If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character,stop yourself.
E.If you’re not telling someone what you want,that person cannot be expected to know.
F.Criticism should,ideally,be working towards an effective solution to a negative situation.
G.When you want to dish out criticism,pause and consider whether you really need to say anything.

解析:该段主旨句“Focus on positives. ”以及空前“Oftentimes,being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However,the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ”说明该段主要讲述每个人都有缺点,然而大多数人的优点多于缺点,人们应该多关注别人积极的方面。C项承接上文,其中的“focus on a person’s positive qualities”和段首“Focus on positives. ”相呼应,说明我们应该多关注一个人的积极品质。故选C项。
4.答案:A
解析:小标题Communicating More Effectively说明该部分给出的避免批评的方法是进行有效的沟通。下文“Some people have… which is more effective than criticizing. ”说明该段主要讲述帮助别人解决问题时,反馈并且给出建议比批评更有效。由此可知,A项“给予反馈而不是批评。”概括本段内容,符合语境。故选A项。

This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism. ”说明直接提出需求是有效的沟通方式,会消除沟通过程中的批评。E项承上启下,说明在有效沟通中要直接说出自己的需求,否则别人将不会知道,这将导致无效的沟通和批评。故选E项。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是友谊的重要性和如何应对失去的友谊。
1.答案:which/that
解析:考查定语从句。空处引导的是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词为friendship,指物,因此空处用关系代词which或that,故填which/that。
2.答案:with
解析:考查介词。provide sb with sth 是固定短语,意为“给某人提供某物”,因此空处用介词with,故填with。
3.答案:going
解析:考查非谓语动词。end up doing是固定短语,意为“最终做某事”,因此空处用动词-ing形式。故填going。
4.答案:Unluckily
解析:考查词性转换。空处用副词作状语,修饰整句话,unlucky的副词是unluckily,意为“不幸的是”,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Unluckily。
5.答案:is broken
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,if引导的是条件状语从句,描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,由by可知,句子用被动语态,因此空处是一般现在时的被动语态,主语trust是不可数名词,因此空处用第三人称单数形式。故填is broken。
6.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。first feeling意为“第一感觉”,此处表示泛指,前面要加不定冠词,first发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
7.答案:sadness
解析:考查词性转换。空处用名词作宾语,sad的名词是sadness,意为“悲伤”,是不可数名词,故填sadness。
8.答案:yourself
解析:考查反身代词。根据语境可知,此处表示“你可以多关注自己”,空处意为“你自己”,用反身代词yourself,故填yourself。
9.答案:requires
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。空处的句子是祈使句,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语friendship是单数,因此空处用第三人称单数形式,故填requires。
10.答案:to forget
解析:考查非谓语动词。it is wise of sb to do sth是固定句型,意为“某人做某事是明智的”,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式,因此空处用动词不定式。故填to forget。
