(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Do you want to improve your savings in 2024? If so, the 52-week money challenge is a simple and effective way to stay on track. 1 And all you need is $1 to start.
What is the 52-week money challenge? Using the 52-week money challenge, you should deposit (存入) an increasing amount of money into your savings each week for one year. 2 In other words, you’ll save $1 the first week, $2 the second week, $3 the third week, and so on until you put away $52 in week 52. Those numbers are guidelines, but you can get creative with the amount you save each week if you’d like to save more over the year or you don’t have enough extra cash available for the regular challenge.
3 A simple piggy bank may work for you, but not everyone has cash on hand to deposit each week. Plus, having your savings in such an accessible place may tempt you to dip into it before the end of the challenge. 4 Then transfer (转移) your challenge money into it each week, which can prevent impulse (冲动) spending and help you accumulate a bit more over the course of the year through interest earnings.
If you really want to make things easy, consider automated savings features. 5 You can set up automatic transfers of a certain amount of money into your new savings account. If you never see it, you won’t have the chance to miss the cash before it goes into savings.
Keep up, and by this time next year, you’ll build up your savings.
A.Thus, start with a small, manageable amount.
B.Consider opening a high-yield savings account instead.
C.To get started, first find somewhere to store your savings.
D.They come with many mobile banking apps and money-saving apps.
E.If you stick to it throughout the year, you’ll save $1,378 extra dollars.
F.It’s important to adjust the challenge to fit your personal financial circumstances.
G.Match each week’s savings amount with the number of the week in your challenge.
(2024·浙江嘉兴·一模)With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” 1
Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize, ‘ 2 ’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day.
3 If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆).
One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says. “ 4 ” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night.
People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. 5 When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family.
A.Most children really enjoy challenges.
B.Actually, no family trip goes without problems.
C.However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity.
D.That way, we’re getting more of that local experience.
E.This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child.
F.They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home.
G.Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip.
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)It’s your turn to talk, your opportunity to dive deep into a favorite anecdote. People around you are listening, hanging on your every word —until someone interrupt. There is little for you to do apart from swallow the bitter taste in your mouth, smile, nod and return to listening mode. 1 Perhaps not.
First thing first. Although it might be easy to imagine you are not interesting or important enough to speak, that isn’t the case. In my opinion, one doesn’t have to get to the point or avoid boring topics all the time to be a good speaker. 2
So when people seem to brush aside your story next time, how to respond appropriately? 3 Everyone is programmed slightly differently. Perhaps if it’s a first-time incident, just take a deep breath and let it go. That’s not to say you can’t look out for a chance to return to your anecdote, just that now’s time to press the pause button.
However, if you don’t want the interrupter to speak over you, there are gracious ways to reclaim your voice. 4 Insist you would love to hear their thoughts when you’ve finished your story. Then, in theory, everyone wins.
5 In group environments, that meaningful grin from across the table, the person with the “go-on” eyes, is waiting to hear your tale’s ending. This might be because they’re interested, or they recognize you’ve been silenced and want to show solidarity. Whatever it is, if you can, keep going.
Pretty much everyone will experience conversational clashes at some point. Remember, the art of conversation is the art of hearing as well as being heard.
A.Does it have to be this way?
B.Can’t they just wait until you finish?
C.One reason might be understanding.
D.Understanding is almost certainly the answer.
E.Everyone has the right to make their voice heard.
F.Politely but firmly express that you appreciate their input.
G.Don’t give up before checking if you still have someone’s attention.
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Personal development goals are objectives that we set to improve our skills, habits, mindset, relationships, and overall wellbeing. 1 Some common examples include the following.
Enhance communication skills to foster better relationships. 2 It may include practicing active listening, and empathy, as well as learning conflict resolution techniques. After honing communication skills, individuals can strengthen relationships with others, leading to deeper understanding, trust, and mutual respect.
Set boundaries to prioritize self-care. It is essential to clear limits and guidelines for personal space, time, and energy to protect wellbeing. It involves learning to say no to commitments that waste resources and setting realistic expectations for ourselves and others. 3
Develop a growth mindset to embrace challenges. Adopting a mindset that views challenges, setbacks, and failures as opportunities for growth undoubtedly helps us grow. 4 With a growth mindset, individuals can overcome obstacles with adaptability, leading to greater confidence, achievement, and personal fulfillment.
5 Integrating mindfulness-based techniques and practices into daily life to cultivate greater awareness, presence, and emotional regulation is an exciting personal development goal to work on.

(2024·浙江绍兴·一模)How Gratitude Makes You Happier
Choosing to be thankful may well be an easy and accessible way to boost your happiness. We usually think of happiness as a subjective sense of well-being, a feeling of joy and satisfaction. But more than just an emotion or fleeting (短暂的) feeling, happiness also includes a deep sense of meaning, worth and purpose in life. 1 Let’s take a look at the positive benefits of gratitude and how you can learn to cultivate gratitude in your daily life.
Research has shown gratitude has far-reaching effects on physical health. When people are thankful, they’re more likely to exercise, eat better, and take care of their health. 2 Even better blood pressure and positive effects on the heart have been linked to gratitude.
3 It increases self-esteem, enhances positive emotions and makes us more optimistic since experiencing gratitude activates neurotransmitters like dopamine, which we associate with pleasure, and serotonin, which regulates our mood. It also promotes feelings like trust and generosity, which are induced by oxytocin, a hormone released by the brain.
Just like a muscle, thankfulness is something we need to exercise more often. One way is to learn from the Scandinavians, who, the UN’s World Happiness Report suggests, are the happiest people in the world. It’s worth pausing to think about why. Scandinavians themselves are determining their levels of happiness. They are appreciative of a functioning society where they have economic security and where social institutions support everyone. 4 They value “moderation”, a just enough-ness. They don’t chase happiness or work overtime for months at a time. They remain grateful for a healthy work-life balance. As a result of this satisfaction and contentment, they feel their lives have value.
So, take some time to be thankful. 5
A.Do Gratitude Exercises.
B.Yet, there is something else.
C.Gratitude supports happiness in ways related to all of these.
D.Gratitude has a strong positive impact on mental health as well.
E.It can impact your happiness and enhance many aspects of your life.
F.The best way to make gratitude a habit is not to wait for special moments.
G.Much evidence points to lower stress, reduced pain and improved immune systems as a result of being thankful.
(2024·浙江湖州·一模)Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered. With work, school, or a busy schedule, things are bound to get jumbled (乱糟糟的) every once and a while! 1 From focusing to journaling, we’ll teach you how to mindfully distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
Focus on the present moment. Practice mindfulness daily to help clear your mind and be more focused. Mindfulness is all about letting all other thoughts come and go. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement, as if you’re an outsider in your own mind. 2
Take a walk. 3 When you’re being mindful, you’re fully engaging in the present moment, letting feelings come and go as you focus on what’s in front of you. Combining this state of mind with walking produces an extra special stress reliever that improves mental and physical health. Try scheduling a walk around the block, on the treadmill, or through a local park every day.
4 Take a moment to breathe and come back to the present moment. Life can easily become go, go, go, and in the process, you can easily forget to breathe. Settling down wherever you are to take controlled breaths can calm your racing mind and heartbeat, helping you feel more relaxed.
Journal your thoughts. Writing down your worries can help you sort through them. Try reaching for a notebook or phone when a million thoughts are racing through your mind. 5 Journaling can help you be more aware of your emotions and reflect on what’s troubling you.
A.Do deep breathing exercises.
B.Take a moment to slow down.
C.Moving your body mindfully can help things seem clearer.
D.But you can do something to clear your mind and calm things down.
E.Set down everything that comes to mind, letting all pour out onto the page.
F.Then let those thoughts and feelings go and focus on what you’re currently doing instead.
G.Here are some tips on how to protect your head from brain injury and then start your work.
(2024·浙江杭州·一模)How Loneliness Is Killing Us
Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be.” 1 And that makes it different from isolation (独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely.
2 In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group.
There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.
3 But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at.
Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. 4 In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline.
The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people. 5 .You belong. You matter. You’re connected.
A.It’s a very subjective experience.
B.All of that is good on the one hand.
C.You may feel lost and may have low confidence.
D.Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.
E.Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.
F.People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen.
G.A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.
重难语篇拔高练
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or uninterested in life lately? 1 There are some effective ways to deal with these feelings and regain control over your life.
2
If you’re feeling lost, the first step to regaining direction is to admit your feelings to yourself. Remind yourself that it’s perfectly normal to feel disappointed, or unfulfilled sometimes— everybody does at some point! These feelings are natural reactions to overwhelming events or changes.
Ask yourself why you’re feeling lost.
You don’t have to unearth the answer right away. Just ask yourself introspective (内省的) questions while journaling or meditating to turn your attention inward. 3 The journey to find your way again is highly personal and there are no right or wrong feelings to have!
Replace negative behavior or habits with healthier routines.
Do you have any less-than-helpful habits that weigh you down, like endlessly scrolling through social media or snapping at loved ones when you’re stressed? 4 Instead, swap these habits with new, positive ones.
Work with a mental health professional if you’re stuck.
It’s normal to need outside guidance to find your way in life again. If you find yourself at a loss for what to do next or aren’t sure how to cope with your feelings, see a therapist or counselor. 5 Additionally, they can show you how to make meaningful changes in your life to make you happier, healthier, and more enthusiastic about the future.
A.Do things that make you feel good.
B.If you do, know that you’re not alone.
C.Acknowledge and accept your feelings.
D.Allow yourself to think and process without judgment.
E.They can help you identify your feelings and the causes of them.
F.When you’re lost, it’s normal to lean into these unhealthy routines.
G.So, identify your top priorities and focus your time and energy on them.
(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Why are Police Officers Called Cops?
Police officers are often referred to as cops. 1 Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.
General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. 2
Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. 3 And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.
4 And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.
The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. 5
A.The term is slightly less familiar to people.
B.So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.
C.These words define some of what a police officer does.
D.The profession of a police officer was not respected then.
E.But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.
F.However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.
G.Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.
(2024·浙江绍兴·一模)Teamwork Doubles the Strength
Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous.
As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. 1 . It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history.
Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. 2 .
3 . Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas. Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. 4 .
Some may think that working in isolation (单独) is more efficient since more time is taken when cooperating with others. For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project. 5 . But, the loss of synergy (协同作用) that only team effort can generate may also prevent the team from reaching its full potential.
A.Take Leicester City for example
B.Thus we can expect greater job satisfaction
C.Team members can also be divided in opinions
D.They don’t need to share the success with others
E.Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams
F.And finally working in a team multiplies learning opportunities
G.We learn to respect differences in working styles and opinions, and develop trust
(24-25高三上·浙江温州·阶段练习)Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. 1 If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can significantly boost people’s happiness and well-being, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life. So how can we practice gratitude? Here are ways that will set you in the right direction.
Keep a gratitude journal. Keep it simple and each day write 1 — 3 things you are grateful for in the morning and in the evening. 2 A lot of people focus on what they don’t have, or complain all day, making themselves upset. But when you focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.
Don’t compare. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and want what they have. When you do that, you’re not appreciating your own unique journey. We’re all on a different life path and we were born to stand out. 3
Flash a smile. A lot of people don’t smile these days, and often you have to be the one that initiates (发起) it. Smiling at someone can not only make you feel good, but also make their day, too. 4 While you’re at it, give compliments (问候), too.
5 It’s easy to focus on the negative of the past or worry about the future. If you can live in the moment and take in everything as they happen, you’ll discover joys that are often overlooked. There are joys of playing with your classmates in the playground, the conversation with your friends across the table and the smell of rain. Enjoy and embrace these moments.
A.Live in the present.
B.So how often do you practice gratitude?
C.Do you know how to practice gratitude sincerely?
D.It will allow you to see more joy and beauty in your days.
E.Always discover the positive side of the people around you.
F.So smile more and watch how your day can instantly turn around.
G.Value the path you take and be grateful for who you are and what you have.
(2024·浙江杭州·一模)Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. The best time for exercise is different for each person. 1 Here are some tips to help you.
Determine your most energetic time. You may be a night owl and never get to bed before midnight, struggling to get out of the bed in the morning. If you’re such a person, don’t schedule early works. You’ll likely hit snooze. Sacrificing sleep for workouts can lead to poor performance and make it hard to form a routine. 2
Consider your daily schedule. How do you schedule your most important tasks? Some people would prefer to get them out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put them off until the end of the day. 3 However, an evening exercise could be more suitable when your mornings are too busy and you struggle to leave on time.
4 Your house offers the most flexible time options when you own fitness equipment. Having a gym down the street or along the route home from work also makes it convenient to fit in a workout.
Determine your exercise goals. Are you trying to develop a consistent exercise routine, improve your performance, or lose weight? 5 Afternoon or evening exercise can enhance your performance. As for losing weight, it may be better to exercise in the morning before you have eaten.
A.Take the location into account.
B.Think about your daily activities.
C.Exercise in the morning helps develop a routine.
D.In short, put exercise as the top priority in your daily schedule.
E.Thus, you’d better establish your sleep tendencies beforehand.
F.You can determine that by considering lifestyle and exercise goals.
G.It’s advisable to do morning workout with numerous after- work activities.

(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)It’s your turn to talk, your opportunity to dive deep into a favorite anecdote. People around you are listening, hanging on your every word —until someone interrupt. There is little for you to do apart from swallow the bitter taste in your mouth, smile, nod and return to listening mode. 1 Perhaps not.
First thing first. Although it might be easy to imagine you are not interesting or important enough to speak, that isn’t the case. In my opinion, one doesn’t have to get to the point or avoid boring topics all the time to be a good speaker. 2
So when people seem to brush aside your story next time, how to respond appropriately? 3 Everyone is programmed slightly differently. Perhaps if it’s a first-time incident, just take a deep breath and let it go. That’s not to say you can’t look out for a chance to return to your anecdote, just that now’s time to press the pause button.
However, if you don’t want the interrupter to speak over you, there are gracious ways to reclaim your voice. 4 Insist you would love to hear their thoughts when you’ve finished your story. Then, in theory, everyone wins.
5 In group environments, that meaningful grin from across the table, the person with the “go-on” eyes, is waiting to hear your tale’s ending. This might be because they’re interested, or they recognize you’ve been silenced and want to show solidarity. Whatever it is, if you can, keep going.
Pretty much everyone will experience conversational clashes at some point. Remember, the art of conversation is the art of hearing as well as being heard.
A.Does it have to be this way?
B.Can’t they just wait until you finish?
C.One reason might be understanding.
D.Understanding is almost certainly the answer.
E.Everyone has the right to make their voice heard.
F.Politely but firmly express that you appreciate their input.
G.Don’t give up before checking if you still have someone’s attention.

(2024·浙江绍兴·一模)How Gratitude Makes You Happier
Choosing to be thankful may well be an easy and accessible way to boost your happiness. We usually think of happiness as a subjective sense of well-being, a feeling of joy and satisfaction. But more than just an emotion or fleeting (短暂的) feeling, happiness also includes a deep sense of meaning, worth and purpose in life. 1 Let’s take a look at the positive benefits of gratitude and how you can learn to cultivate gratitude in your daily life.
Research has shown gratitude has far-reaching effects on physical health. When people are thankful, they’re more likely to exercise, eat better, and take care of their health. 2 Even better blood pressure and positive effects on the heart have been linked to gratitude.
3 It increases self-esteem, enhances positive emotions and makes us more optimistic since experiencing gratitude activates neurotransmitters like dopamine, which we associate with pleasure, and serotonin, which regulates our mood. It also promotes feelings like trust and generosity, which are induced by oxytocin, a hormone released by the brain.
Just like a muscle, thankfulness is something we need to exercise more often. One way is to learn from the Scandinavians, who, the UN’s World Happiness Report suggests, are the happiest people in the world. It’s worth pausing to think about why. Scandinavians themselves are determining their levels of happiness. They are appreciative of a functioning society where they have economic security and where social institutions support everyone. 4 They value “moderation”, a just enough-ness. They don’t chase happiness or work overtime for months at a time. They remain grateful for a healthy work-life balance. As a result of this satisfaction and contentment, they feel their lives have value.
So, take some time to be thankful. 5
A.Do Gratitude Exercises.
B.Yet, there is something else.
C.Gratitude supports happiness in ways related to all of these.
D.Gratitude has a strong positive impact on mental health as well.
E.It can impact your happiness and enhance many aspects of your life.
F.The best way to make gratitude a habit is not to wait for special moments.
G.Much evidence points to lower stress, reduced pain and improved immune systems as a result of being thankful.

(2024·浙江湖州·一模)Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered. With work, school, or a busy schedule, things are bound to get jumbled (乱糟糟的) every once and a while! 1 From focusing to journaling, we’ll teach you how to mindfully distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
Focus on the present moment. Practice mindfulness daily to help clear your mind and be more focused. Mindfulness is all about letting all other thoughts come and go. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement, as if you’re an outsider in your own mind. 2
Take a walk. 3 When you’re being mindful, you’re fully engaging in the present moment, letting feelings come and go as you focus on what’s in front of you. Combining this state of mind with walking produces an extra special stress reliever that improves mental and physical health. Try scheduling a walk around the block, on the treadmill, or through a local park every day.
4 Take a moment to breathe and come back to the present moment. Life can easily become go, go, go, and in the process, you can easily forget to breathe. Settling down wherever you are to take controlled breaths can calm your racing mind and heartbeat, helping you feel more relaxed.
Journal your thoughts. Writing down your worries can help you sort through them. Try reaching for a notebook or phone when a million thoughts are racing through your mind. 5 Journaling can help you be more aware of your emotions and reflect on what’s troubling you.

(2024·浙江杭州·一模)How Loneliness Is Killing Us
Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be.” 1 And that makes it different from isolation (独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely.
2 In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group.
There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.
3 But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at.
Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. 4 In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline.
The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people. 5 .You belong. You matter. You’re connected.
A.It’s a very subjective experience.
B.All of that is good on the one hand.
C.You may feel lost and may have low confidence.
D.Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.
E.Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.
F.People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen.
G.A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.
【答案】1.A 2.E 3.B 4.D 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在人们感到孤独的原因以及孤独对我们的影响。
1.由上文“Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be”.孤独是一种“我和别人的联系比我想要的少”的感觉)”可知,这里在具体描述孤独是一种怎样的状态,而A项It’s a very subjective experience.(这是一种非常主观的体验)符合语境,其中It指代上文的 Loneliness,subjective与上文I want to be对应,所以本句有承上作用。故选A项。
2.由下文“In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. (在一些研究中,多达60%的人会说他们大部分时间都感到孤独)”可知,这里讲很多人会感觉到孤独,而E项Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.(自20世纪50年代以来,人们对他人的投入的沟通时间越来越少)符合语境,与下句构成因果关系,所以有启下作用。故选E项。
3.由上文“There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private care. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.(造成这种情况的因素有很多。自20世纪50年代以来,孤独感呈上升趋势,部分原因是私人护理的兴起。我们已经成为一个流动性更强的社会,随着人们为工作和教育等其他机会而流动,家人和朋友的网络变得松散)”可知,这里在讲造成孤独的因素。而B项All of that is good on the one hand.(一方面,这一切都很好)符合语境,that指代上文列举的具体情况, 本句也与but引导的后文形成转折关系。故选B项。
4.由上文“Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. (研究发现孤独对我们的健康是危险的)”可知,孤独对我们的健康是危险的,而D项Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.(孤独带来的压力会导致身体崩溃)符合语境,其中physical breakdown与上文dangerous to our health对应,所以本句有承上作用。故选D项。
5.由上文“The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people.(我们可以做出的选择是投资于我们与他人的关系,以保持我们的健康)”可知,这里讲我们可以投资于我们与他人的关系来保持我们的健康,而G项A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.(一个好方法是在别人周围找一个你觉得舒服的活动)符合语境,本句为改善我们与他人的关系的具体建议,所以有承上作用。故选G项。
重难语篇拔高练
(24-25高三上·浙江·阶段练习)Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or uninterested in life lately? 1 There are some effective ways to deal with these feelings and regain control over your life.
2
If you’re feeling lost, the first step to regaining direction is to admit your feelings to yourself. Remind yourself that it’s perfectly normal to feel disappointed, or unfulfilled sometimes— everybody does at some point! These feelings are natural reactions to overwhelming events or changes.
Ask yourself why you’re feeling lost.
You don’t have to unearth the answer right away. Just ask yourself introspective (内省的) questions while journaling or meditating to turn your attention inward. 3 The journey to find your way again is highly personal and there are no right or wrong feelings to have!
Replace negative behavior or habits with healthier routines.
Do you have any less-than-helpful habits that weigh you down, like endlessly scrolling through social media or snapping at loved ones when you’re stressed? 4 Instead, swap these habits with new, positive ones.
Work with a mental health professional if you’re stuck.
It’s normal to need outside guidance to find your way in life again. If you find yourself at a loss for what to do next or aren’t sure how to cope with your feelings, see a therapist or counselor. 5 Additionally, they can show you how to make meaningful changes in your life to make you happier, healthier, and more enthusiastic about the future.
A.Do things that make you feel good.
B.If you do, know that you’re not alone.
C.Acknowledge and accept your feelings.
D.Allow yourself to think and process without judgment.
E.They can help you identify your feelings and the causes of them.

(24-25高三上·浙江·开学考试)Why are Police Officers Called Cops?
Police officers are often referred to as cops. 1 Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.
General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. 2
Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. 3 And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.
4 And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals.
The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. 5
A.The term is slightly less familiar to people.
B.So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar.
C.These words define some of what a police officer does.
D.The profession of a police officer was not respected then.
E.But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate.
F.However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct.
G.Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops.
【答案】1.E 2.C 3.B 4.G 5.F
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了警察为什么被称为cops的由来。
1.根据下文“Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.( 一些人认为这个词是“copper”的缩写,来自警察佩戴的铜徽章。也有人说它代表“警察总队”。)”可知,关于“cop”这个昵称的起源存在争议。因此推断E项“但这个绰号的起源却存在争议。”符合语境。故选E。
2.根据上文“General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.( 然而,关于“cop”一词起源的普遍共识表明,这个词更多地是基于警察的工作,而不是他的服装或头衔。在拉丁语中,动词capere可以被定义为“捕获”。在法语中,动词是caper。“To cop”在英语中的意思是抓住或拿走。)”可知,在不同的语言中有不同的词定义了警察的部分工作,因此推断C项“这些词定义了警察的部分工作”总结上文,these words指代前文的词汇。故选C。
3.根据上文“Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets.( Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops.(一些人还认为,荷兰语kapen也可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”,与警察被称为coppers或cops有关。从本质上讲,警察的存在是为了把罪犯赶出街头。)”和下文“And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.(由于美式英语主要来源于德语、法语和拉丁语,kapen或capere的特定语言来源为“cop”一词创造了一条现成的路径。)”可知,荷兰语kapen可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”,与警察被称为coppers或cops有关,美式英语来自德语,法语和拉丁语,因此推断B项“荷兰语和法语的术语都很相似”承上启下。故选B。
4.根据下文“And it is no longer considered rude.(它不再被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知,现在称警察为cops不粗鲁,是合适的。因此推断G项“今天,把警察称为cop是恰当的。”符合语境,下文是对此的详细解释。故选G。
5.根据上文“The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop.(“cop”这个词现在被如此普遍地使用,以至于一个记录他们工作的节目被称为“Cops”。尽管J·埃德加·胡佛曾经强烈反对这个词,但现在把警察或女警察称为cop是可以的。)”可知,现在称呼a policeman或者 a police woman是最好的,与前一段是转折关系,因此推断F项“然而,“police officer”这个术语通常是最正确的”。故选F。
(2024·浙江绍兴·一模)Teamwork Doubles the Strength
Admittedly, teamwork is literally important for any class or team to achieve its goals and objectives. Let me give three reasons why it is advantageous.
As individuals, we possess diverse talents, strengths, weaknesses and experiences. A team is just like a tapestry (织锦) that weaves what each of us possesses, resulting in an end product that is diverse yet homogenous (同种类的). As team members exchange thoughts and experiences, there can be more efficiency and effectiveness at problem-solving. This pooling of talents can also lead to greater innovation and success. 1 . It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history.
Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured. 2 .
3 . Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives. Newer members may also contribute new ideas. Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. 4 .
Some may think that working in isolation (单独) is more efficient since more time is taken when cooperating with others. For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project. 5 . But, the loss of synergy (协同作用) that only team effort can generate may also prevent the team from reaching its full potential.
A.Take Leicester City for example
B.Thus we can expect greater job satisfaction
C.Team members can also be divided in opinions
D.They don’t need to share the success with others
E.Let’s not wave away the chance to work in teams
F.And finally working in a team multiplies learning opportunities
G.We learn to respect differences in working styles and opinions, and develop trust
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.F 4.G 5.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了团队合作之所以对团队达成目标重要的三个原因。
1.下文“It won the Premier League in 2016, to the utter disbelief of many soccer fans. Leicester City, previously regarded as the underdog of the League, displayed extremely impressive teamwork, which led to its unbelievable victory in soccer history.(令许多球迷完全难以置信的是,它在2016年赢得了英超联赛冠军。莱斯特城曾经被认为是联赛的失败者,但他们表现出了令人印象深刻的团队合作,从而取得了足球史上令人难以置信的胜利)”可知,莱斯特城在英超联赛上的胜利是对上文观点的举例,A项“以莱斯特城为例”引出下文,符合题意。故选A项。
2.上文“Next, teamwork means members share the workload. When work is distributed and each of us in a team specializes in specific tasks, the stress on each of us is reduced and the completion of tasks before deadline is ensured.(其次,团队合作意味着成员分担工作量。当工作被分配,我们每个人都在一个团队中专门从事特定的任务时,我们每个人的压力就会减少,并确保在截止日期前完成任务)”说明了团队合作的诸多益处,可以按时完成任务,和B项“因此,我们可以期待更高的工作满意度”,与上文构成因果关系,进一步指明了因为团队成员分担工作量之后,我们可以期待更高的工作满意程度。故选B项。
3.下文“Team members learn from more experienced members who may offer deeper insights and perspectives.(团队成员向更有经验的成员学习,这些成员可能会提供更深入的见解和观点)”及“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills.(除了鼓励知识和经验的分享,团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”可知,本段想要介绍的是在团队工作中会学到很多东西,F项“最后,在团队中工作可以增加学习机会” 起到了对本段的总结概括作用,作为本段的主题句,符合题意。故选F项。
4.上文“Besides encouraging the sharing of knowledge and experiences, teamwork also develops soft skills like communication and interpersonal skills. (除了鼓励知识和经验的分享,团队合作还培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能)”和G项“我们学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见,并建立信任”构成内容上的承接关系,指明了团队合作除了可以培养了沟通和人际交往能力等软技能之外,还可以让我学会学会尊重不同的工作方式和意见,并建立信任。故选G项。
5.上文“For more talented individuals, working alone means being the star of a project.(对于更有才华的人来说,独自工作意味着成为项目的明星)”中的more talented individuals和D项“他们不需要与他人分享成功”中的they指代一致,解释了独自工作意味着成为项目的明星的原因就是不需要与他人分享成功。故选D项。
(24-25高三上·浙江温州·阶段练习)Gratitude, in its simplest form, is the act of feeling grateful for what you have. 1 If you are a person that practices gratitude regularly, you may have benefited a lot from that. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can significantly boost people’s happiness and well-being, allowing them to live a more fulfilling life. So how can we practice gratitude? Here are ways that will set you in the right direction.
Keep a gratitude journal. Keep it simple and each day write 1 — 3 things you are grateful for in the morning and in the evening. 2 A lot of people focus on what they don’t have, or complain all day, making themselves upset. But when you focus on the positive, no matter how small, you attract more of the positive.
Don’t compare. It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and want what they have. When you do that, you’re not appreciating your own unique journey. We’re all on a different life path and we were born to stand out. 3
Flash a smile. A lot of people don’t smile these days, and often you have to be the one that initiates (发起) it. Smiling at someone can not only make you feel good, but also make their day, too. 4 While you’re at it, give compliments (问候), too.
5 It’s easy to focus on the negative of the past or worry about the future. If you can live in the moment and take in everything as they happen, you’ll discover joys that are often overlooked. There are joys of playing with your classmates in the playground, the conversation with your friends across the table and the smell of rain. Enjoy and embrace these moments.
A.Live in the present.
B.So how often do you practice gratitude?
C.Do you know how to practice gratitude sincerely?

(2024·浙江杭州·一模)Any time of the day you can commit to exercising is a good time for getting active. The best time for exercise is different for each person. 1 Here are some tips to help you.
Determine your most energetic time. You may be a night owl and never get to bed before midnight, struggling to get out of the bed in the morning. If you’re such a person, don’t schedule early works. You’ll likely hit snooze. Sacrificing sleep for workouts can lead to poor performance and make it hard to form a routine. 2
Consider your daily schedule. How do you schedule your most important tasks? Some people would prefer to get them out of the way first thing, while others prefer to put them off until the end of the day. 3 However, an evening exercise could be more suitable when your mornings are too busy and you struggle to leave on time.
4 Your house offers the most flexible time options when you own fitness equipment. Having a gym down the street or along the route home from work also makes it convenient to fit in a workout.
Determine your exercise goals. Are you trying to develop a consistent exercise routine, improve your performance, or lose weight? 5 Afternoon or evening exercise can enhance your performance. As for losing weight, it may be better to exercise in the morning before you have eaten.
A.Take the location into account.
B.Think about your daily activities.
