(2025高三·北京房山·一模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Being an introvert (内向的人), I feared nothing more than stepping outside of my safe little bubble. But things took an interesting turn in my second year of college when I had to take a public speaking class. At first, I thought, “Wow, what am I doing?” However, that summer, I learned to gradually expose myself to stress and anxiety. Roughly seven speeches later. I broke out of my shell and became a whole new version of myself. What I want to emphasize from my story is that it’s not enough to just step outside our comfort zones. We must live outside them.
You may be asking, “How do I start living outside of my comfort zone?” The answer I would personally give is “baby steps”. Consider breaking up routines and habits, for instance. Even doing something as small as trying a new flavor of your favorite snack can start the process. Then, sample a new snack. After that, order something different for lunch. Finally, you get the idea. That same mentality can be applied to anything under the sun. The possibilities are endless, and trust me, once you start finding your rhythm, you’ll find it gets progressively easier to try new things.
Above all, remember that any step is still a step. Don’t feel discouraged that you aren’t doing as much as you should, or that you’ re not moving as quickly as someone else. Everyone has it in them to take action and live outside their comfort zones. Do what is right for you. Sometimes, you will need to push yourself. However, pushing yourself too hard will only make you pull back and become overly cautious. After all, the final goal is to find a happy balance between comfort and discomfort, between safety and risk.
1.What happened to the author after about seven speeches?
2.What is the author’s advice on how to start living outside the comfort zone?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
→To live outside your comfort zone, you will need to push yourself at all times.
4.Please share one of your experiences about living outside the comfort zone. (In about 40words)
【答案】1.She/He broke out of her/his shell and became a whole new version of herself/himself. 2.The author’s advice is to take “baby steps”. 3.→To live outside your comfort zone, you will need to push yourself at all times.
Sometimes, you will need to push yourself. 15.开放性试题,参考答案可以为Once I was afraid to join a group discussion. But I forced myself. At first, I was nervous, but later I actively shared ideas and made new friends.
【导语】这篇文章属于个人经历分享与经验建议类的文章。作者先讲述自己作为内向者通过演讲课突破舒适区的亲身经历,进而围绕如何走出舒适区给出具体建议,包括从小事做起、把握好自我推动的度等内容,旨在为读者提供关于走出舒适区的思路与方法。
1.细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Roughly seven speeches later. I broke out of my shell and became a whole new version of myself.(大约进行了七次演讲后,我突破了自我,变成了一个全新的自己。)”可知,在大约七次演讲之后,作者突破了自我,成为全新的自己。故答案为She/He broke out of her/his shell and became a whole new version of herself/himself.
2.细节理解题。由文章第二段“The answer I would personally give is “baby steps”. Consider breaking up routines and habits, for instance. Even doing something as small as trying a new flavor of your favorite snack can start the process.(我个人给出的答案是‘一小步一小步来’。例如,可以考虑打破常规和习惯。即使是像尝试你最喜欢的零食的新口味这样小的事情也可以开启这个过程。)”可知,作者对于如何开始走出舒适区的建议是一小步一小步来,比如打破常规习惯,从尝试喜欢零食的新口味这类小事做起。故答案为The author’s advice is to take “baby steps”.
3.判断推理题。由文章第三段“Sometimes, you will need to push yourself. However, pushing yourself too hard will only make you pull back and become overly cautious. After all, the final goal is to find a happy balance between comfort and discomfort, between safety and risk.(有时候,你需要逼迫自己。然而,逼迫自己太狠只会让你退缩并变得过度谨慎。毕竟,最终目标是在舒适与不舒适、安全与风险之间找到一个愉快的平衡。)”可知,作者在文中表明有时需逼迫自己,但不能过度,要在舒适与不舒适间找平衡,所以“at all times(一直)”表述错误。故答案为→To live outside your comfort zone, you will need to push yourself at all times. Sometimes, you will need to push yourself.
4.开放性题目。言之有理即可,可以写自己原本害怕参加小组讨论,逼迫自己参与后,从紧张到能积极分享想法并交到新朋友。故参考答案可以为Once I was afraid to join a group discussion. But I forced myself. At first, I was nervous, but later I actively shared ideas and made new friends.

Passage(1)
(2025高三·北京顺义·一模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
At the airport recently, I witnessed a moment of unexpected joy. A one-year-old boy, still mastering his wobbly (摇晃的) first steps, toddled (蹒跚行走) with fierce determination, his little legs working hard to find balance. His mom, glowing with pride, shared that he had just started walking. Each time he fell, he sprang right back up — and something beautiful happened. Strangers — young and old, from every background and corner of life — began cheering him on, united in encouragement for this tiny explorer. In that brief moment, we came together to celebrate something simple yet profound: the beauty of progress.
This got me thinking: When did we stop cheering for the “wobbles” in our own lives? When did we start treating every fall as a failure instead of an essential step forward? As adults, we often lose sight of how important it is to celebrate small wins. We wait for the big milestones — a promotion, a degree, or a major achievement — before we allow ourselves (and others) to feel worthy of applause. But research shows that it’s the little victories, the everyday progress, that drive motivation and long-term success.
In their research on creativity and motivation, Harvard Business School professor Teresa Amabile and psychologist Steven Kramer developed what they call The Progress Principle. Their studies revealed that one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation isn’t achieving major breakthroughs — it’s making consistent progress, no matter how small. Even seemingly minor accomplishments can cause a positive emotional response that boosts motivation and enhances performance.
Small wins, Amabile explains, create an “upward progression.” Each little victory reinforces our belief that progress is possible, even when the final goal feels distant. The problem is that, as adults, we often dismiss small wins as insignificant. Instead of celebrating small moments of progress, we focus on how far we still have to go, leaving us feeling stuck and unmotivated.
This brings us back to the toddler at the airport. Every stumble (蹒跚) he made wasn’t met with criticism or a strict reminder of how much more he had to learn — it was met with cheers and encouragement. Imagine how different our lives might feel if we celebrated each other, and ourselves, the way we cheered for that toddler: for trying, for wobbling, and for getting back up.
1.What did the strangers at the airport come together to celebrate as the little boy tried to walk?
2.According to the author, how do adults often treat small wins?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
According to The Progress Principle, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation is achieving major breakthroughs.
4.Give one example of your real-life “wobbles”. (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.The beauty of progress. 2.Adults often treat small wins as insignificant and dismiss them. 3.According to The Progress Principle, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation is achieving major breakthroughs.
According to the passage, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation isn’t achieving major breakthroughs — it’s making consistent progress, no matter how small. 19.I had many difficulties learning to program initially. The code keeps making mistakes, and every failure frustrates me. However, instead of giving up, I kept trying, and slowly, I began to see progress and was able to solve more complex problems.
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲的是小胜利和日常进步对于维持动力和长期成功的重要性。
1.考查细节理解。根据第一段“In that brief moment, we came together to celebrate something simple yet profound: the beauty of progress.(在那短暂的时刻,我们聚在一起庆祝一件简单而深刻的事情:进步之美。)”可知,当小男孩试着走路时,机场的陌生人聚在一起庆祝进步之美。故答案为The beauty of progress.
2.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“The problem is that, as adults, we often dismiss small wins as insignificant.(问题是,作为成年人,我们常常忽视小胜利的重要性,认为它们微不足道。)”可知,成年人常常把小的胜利视为无关紧要的事情而不予理会。故答案为Adults often treat small wins as insignificant and dismiss them.
3.考查细节理解。根据第三段“Their studies revealed that one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation isn’t achieving major breakthroughs — it’s making consistent progress, no matter how small.(他们的研究表明,保持动力最重要的因素之一不是取得重大突破,而是不断取得进步,无论多么小。)”可知,错误的部分是“achieving major breakthroughs”,因为保持动力最重要的因素之一不是取得重大突破,而是取得持续的进步,无论多么小。故答案为According to The Progress Principle, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation is achieving major breakthroughs. According to the passage, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation isn’t achieving major breakthroughs — it’s making consistent progress, no matter how small.
4.开放性题目。我现实生活中“蹒跚学步”的例子是我学习编程时一开始遇到了很多困难。代码总是出错,每次失败都让我感到沮丧。然而,我没有放弃,而是继续尝试,慢慢地,我开始看到进步,能够解决更复杂的问题。故答案为I had many difficulties learning to program initially. The code keeps making mistakes, and every failure frustrates me. However, instead of giving up, I kept trying, and slowly, I began to see progress and was able to solve more complex problems.
Passage(2)
(24-25高三上·北京·阶段练习)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to make that happen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.
Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom. How about the old T-shirts you never wear anymore? It could be sewed together to make a picnic blanket. All of these are examples of upcycling.
Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Recycling is undoubtedly good for the environment, while upcycling is actually much better for the environment and protection of natural resources. Upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. On the other hand, recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product, which requires a great deal of energy. When you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own.
Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Before you run to the store to buy something, look around your house. Old teacups can be transformed into candles. And an old ladder can even become a bookshelf. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs. Flour sacks were used to make clothes, and a broken door became a new table. Today we should follow the examples of our great-grandparents and save money by upcycling.
As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.
1.What is upcycling according to the passage?
2.Why is upcycling much better for the environment than recycling?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
● During the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to protect the environment.
4.The Spring Festival is coming. Figure out one thing to upcycle. Explain what you will do with it and how it will help with the celebration of the festival. (about 40 words)
【答案】1.Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. 2.Because it protects natural resources. 3.During the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to protect the environment. Because during the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs, not to protect the environment. 4.I plan to upcycle the bottles at home. I will turn glass bottles into candle holders or glass lamps, which will add to the festive atmosphere during the festival. As for plastic bottles, I’ll remodel them into air-tight containers, which can help store grains and stop moths from getting in.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了升级改造。解释了升级改造的含义、和回收利用的不同之处以及升级改造的好处。指出作为负责任的公民,我们都应该关心保护环境和节约资源,而升级改造是一种有趣又有创意的环保方式。
1.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful.(升级改造就是把不需要的东西变成有用的东西)”可知,升级改造就是把不需要的东西变成有用的东西。故答案为Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful.
2.考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Recycling is undoubtedly good for the environment, while upcycling is actually much better for the environment and protection of natural resources. (升级改造和回收不一样。回收无疑对环境有益,而升级回收实际上对环境和自然资源的保护要好得多)”以及“Upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. (升级改造不仅能减少垃圾填埋场的垃圾数量,还能保护石油和天然气等自然资源)”可知,升级回收比循环利用更环保,因为它保护自然资源。故答案为Because it protects natural resources.
3.考查细节理解。根据第四段中“During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs.(在20世纪30年代的大萧条时期,许多家庭生活拮据。人们不得不使用他们已有的东西来满足他们的需求)”可知,在20世纪30年代的大萧条时期,人们不得不使用他们已经拥有的东西来满足他们的需求,而不是保护环境。故答案为During the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to protect the environment. Because during the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs, not to protect the environment.
4.开放题。考生言之有理即可,答案不唯一。题干为:春节就要到了。找出一件可以升级的东西。解释一下你将用它做什么,以及它将如何帮助庆祝这个节日。可回答:我计划在家里改造瓶子。我会把玻璃瓶变成烛台或玻璃灯,在节日中增添节日的气氛。至于塑料瓶,我会把它们改造成密封容器,这样可以储存谷物,防止飞蛾进入。故答案为I plan to upcycle the bottles at home. I will turn glass bottles into candle holders or glass lamps, which will add to the festive atmosphere during the festival. As for plastic bottles, I’ll remodel them into air-tight containers, which can help store grains and stop moths from getting in.
Passage(1)
(2024·北京朝阳·二模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed the accountant exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed the certificate to advance her own career. “My inner child got upset,” recalls George. But then, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was envious,” she says. Being frank shifted her attitude, and she was surprised to realize she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in tum. “I congratulated my friend and told her she inspired me,” George says.
This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. It makes relationships “close and more enjoyable.” A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could improve life satisfaction and even help people co-operate during a conflict.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Negative emotions like anger or dislike may lead to the opposite of freudenfreude.
Luckily, the ability of freudenfreude can be exercised. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and his colleagues developed a programme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training practices. They found that depressed students who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which enhanced their relationships and improved their moods. Given that, having freudenfreude is beneficial and it is worthwhile to explore ways to encourage the feeling.
1.According to scientists, what is freudenfreude?
2.What impact does freudenfreude have on daily life?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health.
4.Besides George’s experience mentioned in the passage, please describe one of your experiences of freudenfreude. (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.Freudenfreude is finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. 2.It improves life satisfaction and even helps people co-operate during a conflict. 3.Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health. Mental well-being can affect your ability to participate in the joy of others. 4.1) Last year, in the relay race, my team was defeated by my friend’s team I felt a little envious at first. However, seeing excitement on his face, I related to him and joined in the celebration. As we celebrated together, we were reminded of the power of sharing joy.
2) I experienced freudenfreude when my friend got accepted into her dream school. Although I was still struggling for my final exam and not sure what my future would hold, I sent her sincere congratulations on the success. That enhanced the bond between us, fostering mutual support and encouragement.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述庆祝别人的胜利会给自己带来好处,这种行为也被称为“freudenfreude”。文章解释了freudenfreude的好处以及影响。
1.考查细节理解。根据第二段“This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us.(这就是科学家们所说的“freudenfreude”,意思是在别人的成功中找到快乐,即使这与我们没有直接关系)”可知,Freudenfreude是指从别人的成功中寻找快乐,即使这并不直接涉及到我们自己。故答案为Freudenfreude is finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us.
2.考查细节理解。根据第二段“A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could improve life satisfaction and even help people co-operate during a conflict.(2021年的一项研究调查了freudenfreude在日常生活中的作用,发现它可以提高生活满意度,甚至有助于人们在冲突中合作)”可知,Freudenfreude能提高生活满意度,甚至有助于人们在冲突中合作。故答案为It improves life satisfaction and even helps people co-operate during a conflict.
3.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy.(此外,心理健康也会影响你参与他人快乐的能力)”可知,错误部分为“physical health”,心理健康会影响你参与他人快乐的能力。故答案为Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health. Mental well-being can affect your ability to participate in the joy of others.
4.考查开放题。根据“除了文章中提到的乔治的经历,请描述一个你的freudenfreude的经历”可回答:1)去年,在接力赛中,我的队伍被我朋友的队伍打败了,一开始我有点嫉妒。然而,看到他脸上兴奋的表情,我也和他一起庆祝。当我们一起庆祝时,我们意识到分享快乐的力量。
2)当我的朋友被她梦寐以求的学校录取时,我感到freudenfreude。虽然我还在为期末考试而挣扎,不知道我的未来会怎样,但我还是对她的成功表示了诚挚的祝贺。这加强了我们之间的联系,促进了相互支持和鼓励。
故答案为1) Last year, in the relay race, my team was defeated by my friend’s team I felt a little envious at first. However, seeing excitement on his face, I related to him and joined in the celebration. As we celebrated together, we were reminded of the power of sharing joy.
2) I experienced freudenfreude when my friend got accepted into her dream school. Although I was still struggling for my final exam and not sure what my future would hold, I sent her sincere congratulations on the success. That enhanced the bond between us, fostering mutual support and encouragement.
Passage(2)
(2024·北京大兴·三模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
“I know I should do it, but exercising makes me feel miserable. I’m out of breath, hot and sweaty, and it just hurts. ” Does this sound familiar? You’re not alone.
About 97 percent of us think that getting enough exercise is important for health. One study of 3, 500 adults who used a fitness tracker found that less than 4 percent actually met the goal of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
Aside from health, what are your motivations for exercising? A 2024 study of 489 young Spanish adults found that men exercise to improve their self-image, while women are more likely to be motivated by weight loss or reducing body fat. The findings suggest that there’s a relationship between intrinsic motivation and level of physical activity, but how do you get intrinsically motivated if exercise makes you feel miserable?
Here are a few suggestions to help you overcome your bad feelings about exercise:
First, recognize that most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout. The trick for you is to limit the discomfort while exercising. Your exercise should be physically challenging, but if you’re really struggling, dial it down. Ease up, go slower, use less weight, take a break, or stop sooner; whatever it takes so that you can feel the effort you’re making but you’re not overwhelmed by it. You’re not being a quitter as long as you complete the exercise and do it again the next time.
Second, pair exercise with something that you enjoy. Get earbuds so you can listen to music or a favorite podcast. You can also give yourself a reward for finishing the workout. For example, you could only watch a favorite program on days that you’ve exercised.
Third, do the activity with a friend. If you set a routine exercise schedule with your friend, you’ll go, even if you don’t feel like doing so. You wouldn’t want to disappoint your friend, would you?
Maybe instead of hating exercise, you can dislike it less and take pride in doing it and enjoying its effects.
1.How many of the people involved in the study actually get enough exercise?
2.What do the findings of 2024 study suggest?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Even the most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout, so the more physically challenging, the more effective your exercise would be.
4.What other ways can make you dislike exercise less? Why? (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.Less than 4 percent of the people involved in the study actually get enough exercise. 2.The findings suggest that there’s a relationship between intrinsic motivation and level of physical activity. 3.Even the most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout, so the more physically challenging, the more effective your exercise would be. While it’s true that habitual exercisers may experience some discomfort, it’s not accurate to say that the more physically challenging the exercise, the more effective it necessarily is. Exercise effectiveness depends on factors such as individual fitness goals, proper form, and avoiding overexertion, which can lead to injury or burnout. 4.Engage in activities you genuinely enjoy. Additionally, practice mindfulness during exercise, focusing on how it positively impacts your mental and physical health. These methods work because they enhance enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment, and personal connection to the activity.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提供了关于如何克服对运动的负面感受、提高内在动机以及引用研究结果来讨论人们运动动机的信息。通过提出实用的建议,如调整运动强度、结合个人兴趣、以及与朋友一起锻炼等策略,来帮助读者建立对运动的积极态度。
1.考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“One study of 3, 500 adults who used a fitness tracker found that less than 4 percent actually met the goal of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. (一项针对3500名使用健身追踪器的成年人的研究发现,只有不到4%的人真正达到了每周150分钟适度运动的目标。)”可知,在参与这项研究的人中,只有不到4%的人真正得到了足够的锻炼。故答案为:Less than 4 percent of the people involved in the study actually get enough exercise.
2.考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“A 2024 study of 489 young Spanish adults found that men exercise to improve their self-image, while women are more likely to be motivated by weight loss or reducing body fat. The findings suggest that there’s a relationship between intrinsic motivation and level of physical activity, but how do you get intrinsically motivated if exercise makes you feel miserable? (2024年对489名西班牙年轻人进行的一项研究发现,男性锻炼是为了改善自我形象,而女性锻炼的动机更可能是减肥或减少体脂。研究结果表明,内在动机和体育活动水平之间存在联系,但如果运动让你感到痛苦,你如何获得内在动机呢?)”可知,研究结果表明,内在动机和体育活动水平之间存在关系。故答案为:The findings suggest that there’s a relationship between intrinsic motivation and level of physical activity.
3.考查细节理解。由文章第五段中“First, recognize that most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout. The trick for you is to limit the discomfort while exercising. Your exercise should be physically challenging, but if you’re really struggling, dial it down. Ease up, go slower, use less weight, take a break, or stop sooner; whatever it takes so that you can feel the effort you’re making but you’re not overwhelmed by it. You’re not being a quitter as long as you complete the exercise and do it again the next time. (首先,要认识到大多数习惯性锻炼者在锻炼过程中都会遇到一些不适。对你来说,诀窍是在锻炼时限制不适。你的锻炼应该是对身体的挑战,但如果你真的很挣扎,那就减少运动量。放松,慢一点,少用点重量,休息一下,或者早点停下来;只要你能感受到你所付出的努力,但不会被它压垮,你就会付出任何代价。只要你完成了练习,下次再做一次,你就不是一个放弃者。)”可知,虽然习惯性锻炼者确实会感到一些不适,但说锻炼对身体的挑战越大,就越有效并不准确。锻炼的有效性取决于个人健身目标、适当的形式和避免过度用力等因素,这些因素可能会导致受伤或倦怠。故答案为: Even the most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout, so the more physically challenging, the more effective your exercise would be. While it’s true that habitual exercisers may experience some discomfort, it’s not accurate to say that the more physically challenging the exercise, the more effective it necessarily is. Exercise effectiveness depends on factors such as individual fitness goals, proper form, and avoiding overexertion, which can lead to injury or burnout.
4.考查语言表达。参加你真正喜欢的活动。此外,在锻炼中练习专注力,关注它如何对你的身心健康产生积极影响。这些方法之所以有效,是因为它们增加了乐趣、成就感和个人与活动的联系。故答案为: Engage in activities you genuinely enjoy. Additionally, practice mindfulness during exercise, focusing on how it positively impacts your mental and physical health. These methods work because they enhance enjoyment, a sense of accomplishment, and personal connection to the activity.
Passage(3)
(2025·北京丰台·二模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Family values are a set of principles and beliefs that a family agrees upon, such as emphasizing the importance of honest behaviors or valuing effort and persistence in achieving goals. They are fundamental and determine how members of a home interact with each other and with the world.
Family values determine what you think is important and what is good. These values can help you stay consistent when making decisions in everyday life, especially in moments of uncertainty. This is particularly true when you’re going to make quick decisions based on an emotional reaction. For example, if honesty and communication are your important family values, you’re more likely to approach conflicts with an open mind and a willing heart to talk through issues. When finding your family member has lied to you, instead of acting thoughtlessly, you know what to do—have a talk sincerely.
Family values serve as a guiding force within the home, but their impact extends far beyond, shaping societal norms and behaviors. For example, if several families plant generosity in their values, the next generation will grow up to be more generous. As a result, adults in this generation are more likely to take other people’s needs into consideration when making difficult choices. They become positive contributors to the society, developing an atmosphere of care and consideration that enhances communal well-being.
Great influence as it has, family values are not taught consciously. Often, they get passed down without being noticed. Those values don’t ever get questioned. Whether you’ve outlined them or not, they’re present. And once you take ownership of those values, you can shape them to be in line with what you expect your family to be.
1.What are family values?
2.How can family values help to make decisions in everyday life?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Family values have great influence within the home, but they have nothing to do with shaping common behaviors and rules in a society.
4.Please share one of your family values and explain how it influences you. (In about 40 words)

【导语】本文是议论文。文章陈述了家庭价值观的概念以及其对一个人的悄无声息的影响。
1.考查细节理解。根据第一段的“Family values are a set of principles and beliefs that a family agrees upon, such as emphasizing the importance of honest behaviors or valuing effort and persistence in achieving goals.(家庭价值观是一个家庭所认同的一系列原则和信念,比如强调诚实行为的重要性,或者重视努力和坚持来实现目标。)”可知,家庭价值观是一个家庭所认同的一系列原则和信念。故答案为Family values are a set of principles and beliefs that a family agrees upon.
2.考查细节理解。根据第二段的“Family values determine what you think is important and what is good. These values can help you stay consistent when making decisions in everyday life, especially in moments of uncertainty.(家庭价值观决定了你认为什么是重要的,什么是好的。这些价值观可以帮助你在日常生活中做出决定时保持一致,尤其是在不确定的时刻。)”可知,在日常生活中,家庭价值观有助于在做决定时保持一致。故答案为They can help you stay consistent.
3.考查细节理解。根据第三段的“Family values serve as a guiding force within the home, but their impact extends far beyond, shaping societal norms and behaviors.(家庭价值观是家庭内部的指导力量,但其影响远不止于此,它塑造了社会规范和行为。)”可知,家庭价值观不仅在家庭内部有重大的影响,但其影响远不止于此,它也塑造了社会规范和行为。故答案为Family values have great influence within the home, but they have nothing to do with shaping common behaviors and rules in a society. Because family values serve as a guiding force within the home, but their impact extends far beyond, shaping societal norms and behaviors.
4.开放性试题。观点正确即可。例如,我的家庭价值观是我们应该帮助那些需要帮助的人。它引导我成为一个优秀的人,做有意义的事情。正是我的家庭价值观让我学会了帮助别人。故答案为My family value is that we should help those who are in need. It plays a role that guide me to be an excellent individual and do meaningful things. It is my family value that makes me learn about helping others.

Your Life Is Better Than You Think
The undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognize?
While we may have a loving family, a good place to live, and a decent job, we often fail to notice those things. It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.
Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life’s furniture. You habituate to it — you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.
The good news is that you can dishabituate. That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined.” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume (perhaps unconsciously)that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it. If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes — and to break up reality.
1.Why do we often fail to notice the good things in our lives?
2.What is the key to dishabituating?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
If something is constant and good at its core, it will reshine and we may focus our attention and effort on it.
4.Besides taking a long trip, what else can make us perceive our lives with fresh eyes? (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.Because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation. 2.The key is taking small breaks from the daily life. 3.If something is constant and good at its core, it will reshine and we may focus our attention and effort on it.
If we make the constant less so, we may focus our attention and effort on it. If it is good at its core, it will reshine. 39.1)We can rearrange the furniture, redecorate a room, or even move to a new place. A change in our environment can have a significant impact on our mood and perspective, which can make us see our lives from a new angle and inspire us to try new things.
2)Whether it’s a new language, a musical instrument, or a sport, learning something new engages our minds and forces us to see the world from a different perspective. As we struggle and progress in mastering the skill, we gain a sense of accomplishment and a new appreciation for our own capabilities.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了为什么我们常常忽视生活中的美好事物以及如何改变这一情况。
1.考查细节理解。根据第二段“It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.(这并不是因为我们忘恩负义或愚蠢,而是因为我们大脑的一个基本特征,即习惯化)”可知,我们常常忽视生活中的美好事物是因为我们大脑的一个基本特征,即习惯化。故答案为Because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.
2.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“The key is taking small breaks from your daily life.(关键是在日常生活中稍作休息)”可知,改变习惯的关键是在日常生活中稍作休息。故答案为The key is taking small breaks from the daily life.
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume (perhaps unconsciously)that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it. If it is good at its core, it may just reshine.(普通的东西突然变得很神奇。如果某件事是固定不变的,我们通常会假设(也许是无意识地)它会一直存在,因此,我们会把注意力和精力集中在清单上的下一件事上。但是,如果我们能使这个常数变得不那么重要,我们的注意力自然就会回到它身上。如果它的核心是好的,它可能会重新发光)”可知,错误的部分是“If something is constant,”原因是:如果我们把不变的东西变得不那么重要,我们就可以把注意力和精力集中在它上面。如果它的核心是好的,它就会重新发光。故答案为If something is constant and good at its core, it will reshine and we may focus our attention and effort on it.
If we make the constant less so, we may focus our attention and effort on it. If it is good at its core, it will reshine.
4.开放性题目。答案不唯一,合理即可。根据“除了长途旅行,还有什么能让我们用新鲜的眼光看待我们的生活?”可回答:1)我们可以重新安排家具,重新装饰房间,甚至搬到一个新的地方。环境的改变会对我们的情绪和观点产生重大影响,这可以让我们从一个新的角度看待我们的生活,激励我们尝试新事物。
2)无论是一门新的语言,一种乐器,还是一项运动,学习新的东西都能调动我们的思维,迫使我们从不同的角度看世界。当我们在掌握技能的过程中不断努力和进步时,我们会获得一种成就感,并对自己的能力有一种新的认识。故答案为1)We can rearrange the furniture, redecorate a room, or even move to a new place. A change in our environment can have a significant impact on our mood and perspective, which can make us see our lives from a new angle and inspire us to try new things.
2)Whether it’s a new language, a musical instrument, or a sport, learning something new engages our minds and forces us to see the world from a different perspective. As we struggle and progress in mastering the skill, we gain a sense of accomplishment and a new appreciation for our own capabilities.

Good Taste of Knowledge
The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.
Nothing is more annoying than to meet a person at a party whose mind is crammed (填塞) full with historical dates and figures and who is extremely well-posted on current international affairs, but whose attitudes or points of view are all wrong. I have met such people. They do have great academic knowledge, but no good judgment or taste. Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their scholarship (学术成就), conduct and taste.
An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of judgment, and the unwillingness to be affected by any form of power. When a man is wrong, he is wrong, and there is no need for one to be impressed by a great name or by the number of books that he has read and we haven’t.
Taste, then, is closely associated with courage, as the Chinese always associated dan (“胆”) with shi (“识”). And courage or independence of judgment, as we know, is such a rare virtue among humankind. We see this intellectual courage or independence during the childhood of all thinkers and writers who in later life amount to anything. Such a person refuses to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory, even though it is backed by the greatest name. This is taste in knowledge. No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself, but this self is the only thing that one can cling to, and the moment a student gives up his right of personal judgment, he is in for accepting all the dishonest and insincere of life.
1.According to the author, what is the goal of education?
2.How is having good taste in knowledge different from being knowledgeable?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself.
4.Please name one person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history and explain what about this person makes you think so. (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.The goal of education is the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. 2.Being knowledgeable is the acceptance of knowledge while and having good taste in knowledge is the artistic judgment of knowledge. 3.Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself. Intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself. The word “builds” is wrong. 4.In Chinese history, a person with the qualities of dan and shi is Sima Qian, a famous historian. His independence in judgment and courage to speak the truth are reflected in his masterpiece “Shiji”, which critically evaluates historical events and figures, showing his good taste in knowledge.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者论述了教育或文化的目的是培养对知识的良好品味和行为的良好形式,一个有教养的人不一定是一个博览群书或学识渊博的人,而是一个喜欢和厌恶正确事物的人。知道爱什么和恨什么就是对知识有品味。
1.考查细节理解。根据第一段中“The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. (教育或文化的目的仅仅是培养良好的知识品味和良好的行为举止)”可知,作者认为,教育或文化的目的仅仅是培养对知识的良好品味和行为的良好形式。故答案为:The goal of education is the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct.
2.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. (知识渊博仅仅是对事实或信息的填鸭式学习,而良好的品味则是一种艺术判断)”可知,知识渊博仅仅是对事实或信息的填鸭式教育,而拥有良好的品味则是艺术判断的问题。因此,二者的区别在于知识渊博是填鸭式的接受知识,而好的品味则是对知识的艺术性判断。故答案为:Being knowledgeable is the acceptance of knowledge while and having good taste in knowledge is the artistic judgment of knowledge.
3.考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself, (毫无疑问,这种智力上的勇气或独立判断需要一定的幼稚,单纯的对自己的信心)”可知,这种智力的勇气和独立判断需要信心,而不是建立信心。故答案为:Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself. Intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself. The word “builds” is wrong.
4.考查观点态度。根据问题“Please name one person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history and explain what about this person makes you think so.(请说出中国历史上一个具有“胆”和“识”特质的人的名字,并解释为什么你会这样认为)”。例如司马迁,他是一个兼具“胆”和“识”品质的人。他的独立判断和勇于讲真话体现在他的代表作《史记》中,对历史事件和人物进行了批判性的评价,显示了他良好的知识品味。故答案为:In Chinese history, a person with the qualities of dan and shi is Sima Qian, a famous historian. His independence in judgment and courage to speak the truth are reflected in his masterpiece “Shiji”, which critically evaluates historical events and figures, showing his good taste in knowledge.
Passage(1)
(2024·北京·高考真题)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve.
As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures.
During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence.
My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab.
My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist.
1.In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan?
2.What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced.
4.From this story, what can you learn about “independence”? (In about 40 words)
【答案】1.The need to be recognized as an independent scientist. 2.The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training. 3.The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced. It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success. 4.In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning than to seek help. (答案言之有理即可)
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在追求科学研究的独立过程中遇到的挑战、失败、学习和成长的故事。
1.考查细节理解。根据第二段“As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. (当我开始设计实验时,我的委员会成员警告我,我将面临的挑战。但是我对独立的需求驱使我推进我的研究计划)”可知,一开始,是作者对独立的需求驱使作者推进这个研究计划。故答案为:The need to be recognized as an independent scientist.
2.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. (我的导师和我想出了一个有点不同寻常的解决方案:我将在一个合作实验室里待上三个月,接受专门培训)”可知,在反复的失败之后,导师和作者的解决方案是,作者将花三个月的时间在合作实验室接受专门培训。故答案为:The author would spend three months in a collaborating lab to obtain specialised training.
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段“My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data.(我的导师认为这段经历是一次开创性的成功,强调了我获得的合作技能。几个月后,当我在家里的实验室里重复这个实验时,我得到了更多可发表的数据)”可知,导师认为作者在实验室的经历是一次开创性的成功,这是因为作者通过与他人合作获得了合作技能,而不是因为产生了可发表的数据。故答案:The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced.
It is because the author had acquired the collaborating skills by working with others there so that the adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success.
4.开放性问题。答案言之有理即可。通读全文可知,作者成为一名独立科学家的成功最终是通过合作、适应性学习和面对挫折的韧性来实现的。从这个故事中,我们了解到,虽然独立最初是理想化的,并被热情地追求,但真正的独立往往包括认识到合作的价值,并学会何时寻求帮助。故答案为:In the story, success in becoming an independent scientist was ultimately achieved through collaboration, adaptive learning, and resilience in the face of setbacks. From the story, we learn that while independence is initially idealised and pursued passionately, true independence often involves recognizing the value of collaboration and learning when to seek help.
Passage(2)
(2023·北京·高考真题)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Habit formation is the process by which behaviours become automatic. People develop countless habits as they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits.
Habits are built through learning and repetition. A person is thought to develop a habit in the course of pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues(刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal. Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发) by these cues.
A “habit loop(环)” is a way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating, which produces the reward﹣the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is.
Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it’s possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors, including the individual and the intended behaviour. While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re﹣evaluate what you get out of them (or don’t). Consider and keep in mind why you want to make a change, including how the change reflects your values.
1.How are habits built?
2.In what way is a routine different from a habit?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time.
4.What benefit(s) have you got from one of your good habits?(In about 40 words)
【答案】1.Habits are built through learning and repetition. 2.A routine involves repeated behaviour while a habit is a deep﹣rooted urge. 3.Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many months. 4.I have a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Therefore, I can study energetically every morning, which makes me study efficiently. Also, I am very healthy.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。习惯的形成是行为自动形成的过程。人们在探索世界的过程中养成了无数的习惯,不管他们是否意识到这些习惯。文章主要说明了习惯是如何形成的以及对人的影响。
1.考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Habits are built through learning and repetition.(习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的)”可知,习惯是通过学习和重复建立起来的。故填Habits are built through learning and repetition.。
2.考查细节理解。根据第三段中“While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is.(虽然一个常规包括重复的行为,但它不一定是为了应对深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动,就像习惯一样)”可知,常规不同于习惯在于:常规是重复的行为,而习惯是深度﹣根深蒂固的冲动,故填A routine involves repeated behaviour while a habit is a deep﹣rooted urge.。
3.考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit.(虽然你可以在几周内养成一个新的习惯,但是要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间)”可知,养成一个新的习惯需要好几周,而要养成一个健康的习惯却需要好几个月的时间。所以句子“Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time.”中“a shorter time”错误,应该为many months,故填Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time. Because building a healthy habit takes many months.。
4.开放试题,言之有理即可。题干问“你的一个好习惯给你带来了什么好处?(大约40个字)”,答案可以是:我有早睡早起的好习惯。因此,我可以每天早上精力充沛地学习,这使我学习效率高。而且,我很健康。故填I have a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Therefore, I can study energetically every morning, which makes me study efficiently. Also, I am very healthy.。
Passage(3)
(2022·北京·高考真题)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids. He knew there had to be a better portable drink solution and decided to innovate from something he saw in his own home: fruit infused (浸泡) water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option. From observing his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun Bottle. “I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to drink when on the go. A big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,” Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer (滤网) that allows the great tastes and natural sugars of the various fruits and vegetables you choose to come through the water, without any of the seeds or skins flowing through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the Fun Bottle on his website and in stores, but this 15-year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide healthy alternatives to sugary drinks; and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organisation for a Healthier Generation (OHG).
Tom has been awarded several prizes, but this teenage innovator remains humble. When asked what advice he’d give other entrepreneurial youth, he says, “Prepare and have your family’s support. It is important to know from the beginning that there are a lot of highs and lows, and there is no such thing as overnight success.”
1.What did Tom witness at his own school?
2.Where did Tom get the idea for the original model for the Fun Bottle?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Tom is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others because he not only provides healthy alternatives to sugary drinks but also donates all the profits to the OHG.
4.Among Tom’s qualities, which one(s) do you think will be important for us? Why?(In about 40 words)
【答案】1.Tom witnessed the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids at his own school. 2.Tom got the idea from observing his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option. 3.Tom is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others because he not only provides healthy alternatives to sugary drinks but also donates all the profits to the OHG.
Tom donates part of the profits to the OHG. 55.I think the quality of perspicacity will be important, because this insight can help us constantly find our own shortcomings in our lives, which in turn can help us improve ourselves.(31)
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述15岁的汤姆看到自己学校的学生喝含糖的饮料,随后发明了一种适合所有年龄的人们可以喝的无糖的健康饮料。
1.考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句“Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids.”(汤姆,一个15岁的发明家和企业家,在他自己的学校目睹了孩子们大量消费含糖饮料)可知,作为15岁的发明家和创业者,汤姆在学校目睹了孩子们广泛消费含糖饮料。故答案为Tom witnessed the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids at his own school.
2.考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句中“Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions ”(汤姆看着他的妈妈制作健康的水果饮料)第二句“ From observing his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun Bottle. ”(从观察他的母亲和他要给孩子们更好的饮料选择的愿望,他想出了他的原始模型的Fun Bottle)可知,汤姆在观察母亲制作水果饮料的过程中得到启发,才有了Fun Bottle的原始模型。故答案为Tom got the idea from observing his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option.
3.考查细节理解。根据第四段中“but this 15-year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide healthy alternatives to sugary drinks; and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organisation for a Healthier Generation (OHG).”(但是这个15岁的孩子最感到自豪的是Fun Bottle带给其他人的机会。它有助于对含糖饮料提供健康的替代品。而且汤姆还捐赠了部分利润为一个名为OHG的组织)可知,汤姆把自己产品的部分利润,并非全部利润,捐给了OHG。所以错误在于“all the profits”,应修改为“part of the profits”,故答案为Tom is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others because he not only provides healthy alternatives to sugary drinks but also donates all the profits to the OHG. Tom donates part of the profits to the OHG.
4.开放题,言之有理即可。根据第一段第一句“Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids.”(汤姆,一个15岁的发明家和企业家,在他自己的学校目睹了孩子们广泛消费含糖饮料)第二段中““I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to drink when on the go. A big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,” Tom explains.”(“我想出一种健康、自然的方式,让人们在旅途中喝。我的一大任务就是让所有年龄段的人都不再喝含糖饮料,”汤姆解释说)可知,汤姆在看到学生喝含糖的饮料时,他想到要发明出一种适合所有年龄段都能喝的不含糖的饮料,可推知,汤姆是一个很有聪颖的,有洞察力的人。这种洞察力在我们的生活中可以帮助我们不断发现自己的不足,进而帮助我们提升自己。故答案为:I think the quality of perspicacity im is portant, because this insight can help us constantly find our own shortcomings in our lives, which in turn can help us improve ourselves.(31)

Being an introvert (内向的人), I feared nothing more than stepping outside of my safe little bubble. But things took an interesting turn in my second year of college when I had to take a public speaking class. At first, I thought, “Wow, what am I doing?” However, that summer, I learned to gradually expose myself to stress and anxiety. Roughly seven speeches later. I broke out of my shell and became a whole new version of myself. What I want to emphasize from my story is that it’s not enough to just step outside our comfort zones. We must live outside them.
You may be asking, “How do I start living outside of my comfort zone?” The answer I would personally give is “baby steps”. Consider breaking up routines and habits, for instance. Even doing something as small as trying a new flavor of your favorite snack can start the process. Then, sample a new snack. After that, order something different for lunch. Finally, you get the idea. That same mentality can be applied to anything under the sun. The possibilities are endless, and trust me, once you start finding your rhythm, you’ll find it gets progressively easier to try new things.
Above all, remember that any step is still a step. Don’t feel discouraged that you aren’t doing as much as you should, or that you’ re not moving as quickly as someone else. Everyone has it in them to take action and live outside their comfort zones. Do what is right for you. Sometimes, you will need to push yourself. However, pushing yourself too hard will only make you pull back and become overly cautious. After all, the final goal is to find a happy balance between comfort and discomfort, between safety and risk.
1.What happened to the author after about seven speeches?
2.What is the author’s advice on how to start living outside the comfort zone?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
→To live outside your comfort zone, you will need to push yourself at all times.

(2025高三·北京顺义·一模)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
At the airport recently, I witnessed a moment of unexpected joy. A one-year-old boy, still mastering his wobbly (摇晃的) first steps, toddled (蹒跚行走) with fierce determination, his little legs working hard to find balance. His mom, glowing with pride, shared that he had just started walking. Each time he fell, he sprang right back up — and something beautiful happened. Strangers — young and old, from every background and corner of life — began cheering him on, united in encouragement for this tiny explorer. In that brief moment, we came together to celebrate something simple yet profound: the beauty of progress.
This got me thinking: When did we stop cheering for the “wobbles” in our own lives? When did we start treating every fall as a failure instead of an essential step forward? As adults, we often lose sight of how important it is to celebrate small wins. We wait for the big milestones — a promotion, a degree, or a major achievement — before we allow ourselves (and others) to feel worthy of applause. But research shows that it’s the little victories, the everyday progress, that drive motivation and long-term success.
In their research on creativity and motivation, Harvard Business School professor Teresa Amabile and psychologist Steven Kramer developed what they call The Progress Principle. Their studies revealed that one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation isn’t achieving major breakthroughs — it’s making consistent progress, no matter how small. Even seemingly minor accomplishments can cause a positive emotional response that boosts motivation and enhances performance.
Small wins, Amabile explains, create an “upward progression.” Each little victory reinforces our belief that progress is possible, even when the final goal feels distant. The problem is that, as adults, we often dismiss small wins as insignificant. Instead of celebrating small moments of progress, we focus on how far we still have to go, leaving us feeling stuck and unmotivated.
This brings us back to the toddler at the airport. Every stumble (蹒跚) he made wasn’t met with criticism or a strict reminder of how much more he had to learn — it was met with cheers and encouragement. Imagine how different our lives might feel if we celebrated each other, and ourselves, the way we cheered for that toddler: for trying, for wobbling, and for getting back up.
1.What did the strangers at the airport come together to celebrate as the little boy tried to walk?
2.According to the author, how do adults often treat small wins?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
According to The Progress Principle, one of the most significant factors in sustaining motivation is achieving major breakthroughs.
4.Give one example of your real-life “wobbles”. (In about 40 words)

“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to make that happen. It’s called upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.
Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom. How about the old T-shirts you never wear anymore? It could be sewed together to make a picnic blanket. All of these are examples of upcycling.
Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Recycling is undoubtedly good for the environment, while upcycling is actually much better for the environment and protection of natural resources. Upcycling not only reduces the amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. On the other hand, recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then uses that material to make another product, which requires a great deal of energy. When you choose to upcycle, the only energy you use is your own.
Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Before you run to the store to buy something, look around your house. Old teacups can be transformed into candles. And an old ladder can even become a bookshelf. Of course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs. Flour sacks were used to make clothes, and a broken door became a new table. Today we should follow the examples of our great-grandparents and save money by upcycling.
As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can, stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be upcycled.
1.What is upcycling according to the passage?
2.Why is upcycling much better for the environment than recycling?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
● During the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to protect the environment.
4.The Spring Festival is coming. Figure out one thing to upcycle. Explain what you will do with it and how it will help with the celebration of the festival. (about 40 words)

When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed the accountant exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed the certificate to advance her own career. “My inner child got upset,” recalls George. But then, she called her friend. “I told her I failed and admitted I was envious,” she says. Being frank shifted her attitude, and she was surprised to realize she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in tum. “I congratulated my friend and told her she inspired me,” George says.
This is what scientists called freudenfreude, meaning finding pleasure in another person’s success, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. It makes relationships “close and more enjoyable.” A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could improve life satisfaction and even help people co-operate during a conflict.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. Besides, mental health can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Negative emotions like anger or dislike may lead to the opposite of freudenfreude.
Luckily, the ability of freudenfreude can be exercised. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and his colleagues developed a programme called Freudenfreude Enhancement Training practices. They found that depressed students who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which enhanced their relationships and improved their moods. Given that, having freudenfreude is beneficial and it is worthwhile to explore ways to encourage the feeling.
1.According to scientists, what is freudenfreude?
2.What impact does freudenfreude have on daily life?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Freudenfreude doesn’t always come easily, and it is affected by your family environment and physical health.
4.Besides George’s experience mentioned in the passage, please describe one of your experiences of freudenfreude. (In about 40 words)

“I know I should do it, but exercising makes me feel miserable. I’m out of breath, hot and sweaty, and it just hurts. ” Does this sound familiar? You’re not alone.
About 97 percent of us think that getting enough exercise is important for health. One study of 3, 500 adults who used a fitness tracker found that less than 4 percent actually met the goal of 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
Aside from health, what are your motivations for exercising? A 2024 study of 489 young Spanish adults found that men exercise to improve their self-image, while women are more likely to be motivated by weight loss or reducing body fat. The findings suggest that there’s a relationship between intrinsic motivation and level of physical activity, but how do you get intrinsically motivated if exercise makes you feel miserable?
Here are a few suggestions to help you overcome your bad feelings about exercise:
First, recognize that most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout. The trick for you is to limit the discomfort while exercising. Your exercise should be physically challenging, but if you’re really struggling, dial it down. Ease up, go slower, use less weight, take a break, or stop sooner; whatever it takes so that you can feel the effort you’re making but you’re not overwhelmed by it. You’re not being a quitter as long as you complete the exercise and do it again the next time.
Second, pair exercise with something that you enjoy. Get earbuds so you can listen to music or a favorite podcast. You can also give yourself a reward for finishing the workout. For example, you could only watch a favorite program on days that you’ve exercised.
Third, do the activity with a friend. If you set a routine exercise schedule with your friend, you’ll go, even if you don’t feel like doing so. You wouldn’t want to disappoint your friend, would you?
Maybe instead of hating exercise, you can dislike it less and take pride in doing it and enjoying its effects.
1.How many of the people involved in the study actually get enough exercise?
2.What do the findings of 2024 study suggest?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Even the most habitual exercisers experience some discomfort with their workout, so the more physically challenging, the more effective your exercise would be.
4.What other ways can make you dislike exercise less? Why? (In about 40 words)

Family values are a set of principles and beliefs that a family agrees upon, such as emphasizing the importance of honest behaviors or valuing effort and persistence in achieving goals. They are fundamental and determine how members of a home interact with each other and with the world.
Family values determine what you think is important and what is good. These values can help you stay consistent when making decisions in everyday life, especially in moments of uncertainty. This is particularly true when you’re going to make quick decisions based on an emotional reaction. For example, if honesty and communication are your important family values, you’re more likely to approach conflicts with an open mind and a willing heart to talk through issues. When finding your family member has lied to you, instead of acting thoughtlessly, you know what to do—have a talk sincerely.
Family values serve as a guiding force within the home, but their impact extends far beyond, shaping societal norms and behaviors. For example, if several families plant generosity in their values, the next generation will grow up to be more generous. As a result, adults in this generation are more likely to take other people’s needs into consideration when making difficult choices. They become positive contributors to the society, developing an atmosphere of care and consideration that enhances communal well-being.
Great influence as it has, family values are not taught consciously. Often, they get passed down without being noticed. Those values don’t ever get questioned. Whether you’ve outlined them or not, they’re present. And once you take ownership of those values, you can shape them to be in line with what you expect your family to be.
1.What are family values?
2.How can family values help to make decisions in everyday life?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Family values have great influence within the home, but they have nothing to do with shaping common behaviors and rules in a society.
4.Please share one of your family values and explain how it influences you. (In about 40 words)

Your Life Is Better Than You Think
The undeniable popularity of self-help books, wellness podcasts, and happiness workshops reflects the constant human desire to make life better. But could it be that many of our lives are already better than we recognize?
While we may have a loving family, a good place to live, and a decent job, we often fail to notice those things. It’s not because we are ungrateful or stupid, but it’s because of a basic feature of our brain, known as habituation.
Habituation is the tendency of neurons to fire less and less in response to things that are constant. You enter a room filled with roses and after a short while, you cannot detect their scent any longer; and just as you get used to the smell of fresh flowers, you also get used to a loving relationship, to a promotion, to a nice home, to a wonderful work of art. Like the front page of a daily newspaper, your brain cares about what recently changed, not about what remained the same. And so, what once took your breath away becomes part of life’s furniture. You habituate to it — you fail to notice and respond to elements of your life which you previously found amazing.
The good news is that you can dishabituate. That is, you can suddenly start perceiving and responding to things to which you have become desensitized.
The key is taking small breaks from your daily life. For example, when people return home from a long business trip, they often find their old life has “reshined.” Ordinary things suddenly seem amazing. If something is constant, we often assume (perhaps unconsciously)that it is there to stay, and as a result, we focus our attention and effort on the next thing on our list. But if we can make the constant less so, our attention will naturally turn back to it. If it is good at its core, it may just reshine. This is why time away, however short, will enable you to perceive your life with fresh eyes — and to break up reality.
1.Why do we often fail to notice the good things in our lives?
2.What is the key to dishabituating?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
If something is constant and good at its core, it will reshine and we may focus our attention and effort on it.
4.Besides taking a long trip, what else can make us perceive our lives with fresh eyes? (In about 40 words)

Good Taste of Knowledge
The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, but one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge.
Nothing is more annoying than to meet a person at a party whose mind is crammed (填塞) full with historical dates and figures and who is extremely well-posted on current international affairs, but whose attitudes or points of view are all wrong. I have met such people. They do have great academic knowledge, but no good judgment or taste. Being knowledgeable is a mere matter of the cramming of facts or information while having good taste is a matter of artistic judgment. In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between their scholarship (学术成就), conduct and taste.
An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. Now, to have taste requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, the independence of judgment, and the unwillingness to be affected by any form of power. When a man is wrong, he is wrong, and there is no need for one to be impressed by a great name or by the number of books that he has read and we haven’t.
Taste, then, is closely associated with courage, as the Chinese always associated dan (“胆”) with shi (“识”). And courage or independence of judgment, as we know, is such a rare virtue among humankind. We see this intellectual courage or independence during the childhood of all thinkers and writers who in later life amount to anything. Such a person refuses to be impressed by a philosophic vogue or a fashionable theory, even though it is backed by the greatest name. This is taste in knowledge. No doubt such intellectual courage or independence of judgment requires a certain childish, naive confidence in oneself, but this self is the only thing that one can cling to, and the moment a student gives up his right of personal judgment, he is in for accepting all the dishonest and insincere of life.
1.According to the author, what is the goal of education?
2.How is having good taste in knowledge different from being knowledgeable?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Intellectual courage or independence of judgment builds confidence in oneself.
4.Please name one person with the qualities of dan and shi in Chinese history and explain what about this person makes you think so. (In about 40 words)

(2024·北京·高考真题)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Growing up, I idealised independence. I always wanted my own efforts to be enough. When I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree, I wanted to develop a novel research programme and quickly establish myself as an independent scientist. But I was unrealistically optimistic about what I could achieve.
As I began designing experiments, my committee members warned me about the challenges I would face. But my need for independence drove me to push forward with my research plan. As a result, the first four years of my postgraduate career were defined by a series of failures.
During my second year, I failed my comprehensive exam because my proposal was unclear. During my third year, I discovered that after treating thousands of seeds, I obtained just one plant I could use for experiments. By my fourth year, my desperation to succeed overshadowed my desire for independence.
My adviser and I devised (想出) a somewhat unusual solution: I would spend three months in a collaborating (合作的) lab to obtain specialised training. I worked extensively with other students, constantly asked questions, and helped with ongoing projects to learn everything I could. Finally, I conducted an elegant experiment that would not have been possible without the help of the members in the lab.
My adviser saw this experience as a groundbreaking success, emphasising the collaborating skills I acquired. A few months later, when I repeated the experiment in my home lab, I produced more publishable data. By learning when to ask for help, I eventually found myself on the way to becoming an independent scientist.
1.In the beginning, what drove the author to push forward with the research plan?
2.What was the solution by the adviser and the author after those repeated failures?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> The adviser considered the author’s experience in the lab a groundbreaking success because publishable data had been produced.
4.From this story, what can you learn about “independence”? (In about 40 words)

Habit formation is the process by which behaviours become automatic. People develop countless habits as they explore the world, whether they are aware of them or not. Understanding how habits take shape may be helpful in changing bad habits.
Habits are built through learning and repetition. A person is thought to develop a habit in the course of pursuing goals by beginning to associate certain cues(刺激) with behavioural responses that help meet the goal. Over time, thoughts of the behaviour and ultimately the behaviour itself are likely to be triggered(触发) by these cues.
A “habit loop(环)” is a way of describing several related elements that produce habits. These elements are called the cue, the routine, and the reward. For example, stress could serve as a cue that one responds to by eating, which produces the reward﹣the reduction of stress. While a routine involves repeated behaviour, it’s not necessarily performed in response to a deep﹣rooted urge, as a habit is.
Old habits can be difficult to shake, and healthy habits are often harder to develop. But through repetition, it’s possible to form new habits. The amount of time needed to build a habit will depend on multiple factors, including the individual and the intended behaviour. While you are able to pickup a new habit in a few weeks, it takes many months to build a healthy habit. Take some time to think about what leads to bad habits and re﹣evaluate what you get out of them (or don’t). Consider and keep in mind why you want to make a change, including how the change reflects your values.
1.How are habits built?
2.In what way is a routine different from a habit?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Picking up a new habit takes a few week, while building a healthy habit takes a shorter time.
4.What benefit(s) have you got from one of your good habits?(In about 40 words)

(2022·北京·高考真题)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Tom, a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur (创业者), witnessed at his own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids. He knew there had to be a better portable drink solution and decided to innovate from something he saw in his own home: fruit infused (浸泡) water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option. From observing his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun Bottle. “I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to drink when on the go. A big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,” Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer (滤网) that allows the great tastes and natural sugars of the various fruits and vegetables you choose to come through the water, without any of the seeds or skins flowing through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the Fun Bottle on his website and in stores, but this 15-year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide healthy alternatives to sugary drinks; and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organisation for a Healthier Generation (OHG).
Tom has been awarded several prizes, but this teenage innovator remains humble. When asked what advice he’d give other entrepreneurial youth, he says, “Prepare and have your family’s support. It is important to know from the beginning that there are a lot of highs and lows, and there is no such thing as overnight success.”
1.What did Tom witness at his own school?
2.Where did Tom get the idea for the original model for the Fun Bottle?
3.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Tom is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others because he not only provides healthy alternatives to sugary drinks but also donates all the profits to the OHG.
4.Among Tom’s qualities, which one(s) do you think will be important for us? Why?(In about 40 words)
