All of us have probably caught ourselves, from time to time, allowing ourselves to enjoy the pleasure of gossiping more than we would like to admit. Someone says the words, “Don’t tell this to anyone.” 1 We all know that we shouldn’t talk behind someone’s back, but gossip is so common. Gossip has some characteristics (特点). First, gossip is an activity that is done with other people. 2 Second, the information shared is always about someone who is not present in the conversation, or about someone whom we believe to be absent. Third, when we gossip, we not only share facts, but also make some judgments about the person. Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral (不偏袒的). 3 Most of this gossip was about people they knew of. Negative gossip was twice as common as positive gossip. Over three-fourths of the gossip was simply discussing someone else. 4 Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education. 5 On average, people spent about 52 minutes a day gossiping. The study showed that gossip is everywhere. A．We can’t do it alone or only in our head. B．Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally. C．So people express their angry feelings by gossiping.

This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. 1 Here’s why. It gives you an alternative perspective（思考方法）to look at the past. It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts. But through stories，which demand imagination and innovation, it is possible to rewrite histories from the perspective of those on the losing side. This allows unheard voices to get recognition, and unknown stories to be told. 2 It makes you more aware of the world as well as local legacies. Because historical fiction doesn’t exist in a completely made-up world and is written instead in definite places and times, it has a context. 2 . It provides information about local as well as global histories, allowing you to better understand why certain people, communities and countries are the way they are. 4 Among various fiction types, historical fiction stands out as a highly informative category. This is due to the extensive and precise research it demands, creating an impressive experience that transports you to different eras. This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours. It challenges your perspectives about culture. 3 By providing alternative perspectives to a known reality, it offers alternative ways of looking at people. Postcolonial (后殖民主义的) historical fiction, for instance, has long worked to challenge the idea of imperial (帝国的) superiority. Slave fiction challenges the idea of racism. A．It makes you connect with your ancestors. B．It offers alternative perspectives to past realities. C．Alternative perspectives make you broad-minded. D．It gives you a sense of a life and times before yours. E．You should definitely invest in reading historical fiction. F．It is this context that makes historical fiction unique and essential. G．One social influence historical fiction has is that it challenges cultural assumptions. （23-24高一下·浙江·期中）How to Create a Personalized Daily Routine Figuring out how to create a daily routine (常规) that works for you — and how to stick to it — can take some time.

Did you schedule your tasks at times that make sense? Stick to the routine for at least 30 days. 4 .

Scientists say large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the CO2 atmosphere and stored. 2 But there’s so much CO2 in the atmosphere that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. And, when plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture(DAC). The science of removing carbon from the air is challenging, and it’s still pretty new. 3 So one puzzle for these companies is how to remove carbon without creating more pollution. A company called Heirloom has just opened the first DAC plant in the United States. The company heats up the limestone to separate out the CO2, which is concrete. The process is extremely expensive. 4 That’s a tiny amount compared to how much carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere, but the company says it hopes to remove a billion tons per year by 2035. 5 Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. A．Plants and trees do this naturally. B．That’s a huge and challenging goal. C．Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. D．Graphyte is another US company working on DAC． E．The new plant can remove 1,000 tons of CO2 a year. F．Most DAC processes require a large amount of energy. G．As a matter of fact, CO2 is just a small part of the gases that make up air. （23-24高一下·江西南昌·期中）“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Old tales tell a seemingly unbelievable story of a mysterious mirror, but modern technology has secretly turned the magic into reality.

How does AI facial recognition work? Facial recognition is a technology capable of identifying a person from a digital image or a frame from a video source. 2 But on the whole, they work by comparing selected facial features from given images with faces within a database. 3 Facial recognition technology has been traditionally associated with the security section but today there is active expansion into other industries including retail, marketing and finance. In terms of security, AI cameras have been installed in cities to work day and night to help recognize wanted criminals. 4 It is a most efficient security means in opening a bank account, transferring money, shopping and paying online because it is a most convenient tool. What will the future of AI be like? In general, prospects for the application of AI are bright for many.

You’ll leave a carbon footprint, no matter what. 1 Here are a few questions to ask: Is it a B Corp? B Corps are businesses that meet a strict set of standards by the nonprofit B Lab. They include requirements for governance, workers, customers, community and the environment. 2 You’ll see some fairly well-known brands, like Intrepid Travel. But you won’t find the names of any major airlines, car rental companies or hotel chains-at least, not yet. Does the company have any other environmental certifications? Third-party certifications from Green Key, LEED and WELL can be signs that a travel company means business about the environment. Transportation companies may also offer verified certifications from organizations like Terrapass or the Gold Standard Foundation. 3 However, it’s a good start. 4 If the company claims to be green, don’t just take its word for it. Listen to what it says. If you see nothing but models on its Instagram channel or ads for online discounts on its site, perhaps it’s a shade of fake green. “A company’s social media strategy is generally a reflection of its current ethos and goals,” explained Julia Carter, founder of Craft Travel. How deep is its commitment to the environment? 5 For example, the Travel Corporation publishes an annual impact report that maps its progress against 11 sustainability goals developed by the United Nations. Many cruise lines also publish detailed reports that allow you to check their commitment to the environment against several objective standards. A．But your trip can be green-ish. B．What’s the company saying to everyone? C．How can we find a reliable company online? D．Don’t trust anything the company says to the public. E．These certifications aren’t a guarantee the company is green. F．Look for reliable reports on sustainability from a travel company. G．You can search the directory of these forward-looking companies online. （23-24高一下·浙江·期中）If your child is applying to private school for middle school or high school, he can expect to have an interview with a member of the admissions (招生) team.

But has advertising become a problem for society? If let me rate the current online advertising risks, I would probably give 2 points. 2 Advertising makes us associate happiness with consumerism (消费主义). After they’ve achieved to ruin our self-esteem (自尊), advertisements are trying to fool us into thinking that only products and services can make us feel better. 3 What is it? You guessed right: Shopping. Once they achieve to make you feel ugly, they sell you beauty products so you can improve on your ugliness. Once they manage to make you believe that you are not important, they sell you expensive clothes so you can attract the attention of others. And so on and so forth. 4 We have an economic system in which people have to make money in order to survive — and this can be clearly seen in the advertising industry. By showing you what the ideal life is supposed to be, and then making you compare your ordinary life to it, they slowly lead you to believe that you’re not beautiful, intelligent, confident, and so on, until they fully convince you that you are basically not good. The reason? To make you feel insecure so that they can then emotionally control you. In short, advertisements promise you happiness, provided that you spend money in return. The result? 5 A．Advertising pushes us to make money. B．Advertising makes us feel that we’re not good enough. C．So what exactly are the main problems of advertising on society? D．The average person sees between 280 and 310 advertisements per day. E．Without shopping, advertisements tell you that you can’t find happiness.

The major difference is that instruction is delivered online. Many of the strategies for effective face-to-face learning also apply to online learning. 1 Here are some strategies we recommend: Create space to learn. Invest some time to understand your needs and preferences as a learner, and what an effective study environment looks like for you. For example, you might need a quiet place to study, or you might need to listen to classical music. Consider what equipment you might need. Wherever you study, try to minimize distractions. 2 Manage your time effectively. Spend some time getting familiar with your online courses, understanding what is expected of you, mapping out key deadlines, and planning study time. 3 Research shows that learners gain more information if they spread their study over multiple days or sessions. Make sure your routine works with your other commitments so you’re more likely to stick to it. 4 Just as with face-to-face learning, mental energy matters: take time to reflect on whether you have understood the materials, try to remember and sort the information you have learned to aid memory, test your understanding, mix different concepts and skills into the same study session to build connections and fluency, ask questions, participate in class discussions, and try teaching concepts to others. Ask for assistance! In an online learning environment, you may need to ask lots of questions and take ownership over shaping the learning experience so that it meets your needs. 5 Finally, if you’re facing specific challenges such as illness, mental health, accessibility, balancing childcare responsibilities, etc., it’s important for you to reach out to your instructors or the relevant student support services for discussion and creative problem-solving. A．Regularly reflect on the course materials. B．A long-term routine will help you stay on track. C．Actively review and apply what you have learned. D．However, online learning may require some additional skills to be successful. E．At the end of the week, reflect on how you did, and adjust your routine as required.

Luckily, there are a few things you can do to determine whether or not a company is a good fit for you. First of all, know what you want. 1 So before you can determine whether you and a specific company would be compatible (兼容的) together, it’s important to understand what exactly you want from your employer.

Finally, you can never fail with personal connections. 4 Ask if they would be willing to have a quick conversation with you about the organization in general. If you get a yes to your request for a chat, you’ll be armed with some pretty powerful and helpful information heading into your interview!

All of us have probably caught ourselves, from time to time, allowing ourselves to enjoy the pleasure of gossiping more than we would like to admit. Someone says the words, “Don’t tell this to anyone.” 1 We all know that we shouldn’t talk behind someone’s back, but gossip is so common. Gossip has some characteristics (特点). First, gossip is an activity that is done with other people. 2 Second, the information shared is always about someone who is not present in the conversation, or about someone whom we believe to be absent. Third, when we gossip, we not only share facts, but also make some judgments about the person. Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral (不偏袒的). 3 Most of this gossip was about people they knew of. Negative gossip was twice as common as positive gossip. Over three-fourths of the gossip was simply discussing someone else. 4 Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education. 5 On average, people spent about 52 minutes a day gossiping. The study showed that gossip is everywhere. A．We can’t do it alone or only in our head. B．Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally. C．So people express their angry feelings by gossiping. D．What’s more interesting is who gossips and how much. E．And the information was interesting for the present people. F．But moments later, we may tell it to someone else with the exact same warning. G．It means people were simply sharing information about a person who wasn’t present. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．G 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过探讨流言蜚语的特点、原因以及人们为何参与其中，揭示了流言蜚语的普遍性和它在社会交往中的作用。 1．根据上文“Someone says the words, Don’t tell this to anyone.（有人这样说：不要告诉任何人。）”可知，这句话表明了人们在分享流言时的矛盾心理，知道不应该背后说人坏话，但仍然会这么做。选项F中的But moments later, we may tell it to someone else with the exact same warning.（但片刻之后，我们可能会用同样的警告告诉别人。）与此情境相符，揭示了人们在流言蜚语中的普遍行为，故选F。 2．根据上文“Gossip is an activity that is done with other people.（流言蜚语是与他人一起进行的活动。）”可知，这句话强调了流言蜚语的社交本质，需要多人参与。选项A中的We can’t do it alone or only in our head.（我们不能独自做这件事，也不能只在我们脑海中进行。）与此相呼应，进一步阐释了流言蜚语需要他人参与的特点，故选A。 3．根据上文“Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral.（研究人员研究了包括男性和女性在内的志愿者，以找出一些关于流言蜚语的事实。他们发现大多数流言蜚语是中性的。）”可知，这句话说明了流言蜚语的性质，并非总是负面的。选项G中的And the information was interesting for the present people.（信息对在场的人是有趣的。）与此相衔接，表明流言蜚语中的信息对参与者来说是有吸引力的，故选G。 4．根据下文“The study showed that gossip is everywhere.（研究表明流言蜚语无处不在。）”可知，这句话强调了流言蜚语的普遍性。选项D中的What’s more interesting is who gossips and how much.（更有趣的是谁在说流言蜚语以及说了多少。）与此相衔接，提出了关于流言蜚语更深入的问题，即参与者和频率，故选D。 5．根据上文“Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education.（外向的人比内向的人更多地参与流言蜚语。更富有和受过良好教育的人比那些没有钱和教育的人更多地参与流言蜚语。）”可知，这句话揭示了某些人群更倾向于参与流言蜚语。选项B中的Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally.（女性比男性更多地参与流言蜚语，但只是中立地。）与此相呼应，指出女性是流言蜚语的主要参与者，并且通常是以中立的方式进行，故选B。 （23-24高一下·重庆·期中）Reasons Why You Need to Read More Historical Fiction Historical fiction refers to fictional stories set in true historical contexts. This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. 1 Here’s why. It gives you an alternative perspective（思考方法）to look at the past. It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts. But through stories，which demand imagination and innovation, it is possible to rewrite histories from the perspective of those on the losing side. This allows unheard voices to get recognition, and unknown stories to be told. 2 It makes you more aware of the world as well as local legacies. Because historical fiction doesn’t exist in a completely made-up world and is written instead in definite places and times, it has a context. 2 . It provides information about local as well as global histories, allowing you to better understand why certain people, communities and countries are the way they are. 4 Among various fiction types, historical fiction stands out as a highly informative category. This is due to the extensive and precise research it demands, creating an impressive experience that transports you to different eras. This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours. It challenges your perspectives about culture. 3 By providing alternative perspectives to a known reality, it offers alternative ways of looking at people. Postcolonial (后殖民主义的) historical fiction, for instance, has long worked to challenge the idea of imperial (帝国的) superiority. Slave fiction challenges the idea of racism. A．It makes you connect with your ancestors. B．It offers alternative perspectives to past realities. C．Alternative perspectives make you broad-minded. D．It gives you a sense of a life and times before yours. E．You should definitely invest in reading historical fiction. F．It is this context that makes historical fiction unique and essential. G．One social influence historical fiction has is that it challenges cultural assumptions. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．F 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了为什么要读历史小说的原因。 1．根据上文“Historical fiction refers to fictional stories set in true historical contexts. This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. (历史小说是指以真实历史背景为背景的虚构故事。这混合了现实和想象之间的界限，因为它既是事实又是虚构的。)”可知，作者是要推荐读者去读历史小说，结合根据下文“Here’s why.”可知，空处应为总结句，与E项“You should definitely invest in reading historical fiction. (你绝对应该多读些历史小说。)”上下文一致，且与文章标题Reasons Why You Need to Read More Historical Fiction相呼应，故选E项。 2．根据标题“It gives you an alternative perspective（思考方法）to look at the past.

Here are a few steps to help you make a daily routine for yourself, even if you’ve never had one. ●Make a list Figuring out how to write a daily routine begins by writing down everything you need to get done daily, both at home and at work. 1 . This is a brain dump, not a to-do list. Simply take down everything you do each day, as well as everything you should get done. No task is too small — if you want to work “brush teeth” into your daily routine, put it on the list. ● 2 The point of creating a daily routine is to use your most productive (富有成效的) hours for challenging tasks and your least productive hours for the simpler tasks. 3 . For example, you might have a doctor’s appointment during the time you usually set aside for work. Arranging free time in your daily routine will help to keep things flowing smoothly despite atypical events. ●Test drive your new routine Once you’ve created your daily routine, take it for a test drive. Did you schedule your tasks at times that make sense? Stick to the routine for at least 30 days. 4 . Once your tasks are arranged into the right spots, you should find sticking to your daily routine to be easier than you ever thought. 5 . But you will soon see the benefits when your productivity rises and you find you actually have pockets of free time. A．Be open to flexibility (灵活性) B．Keep the structure every day C．Change any scheduling that isn’t working D．Don’t worry about how you organize this list E．Creating a daily routine may seem like a difficult task at first F．You also need to create a reasonable routine you can stick to G．But life can get in the way of even the most detailed routines 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．G 4．C 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何创建个性化的日常计划。 1．根据下文“This is a brain dump, not a to-do list. Simply take down everything you do each day, as well as everything you should get done.(它是把大脑中的想法写下来，不是待办事项清单。简单地记下你每天要做的事情，以及你应该完成的事情)”可知，本段是讲述如何列清单，D项“不要担心你如何组织这个列表”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据本段中“The point of creating a daily routine is to use your most productive (富有成效的) hours for challenging tasks and your least productive hours for the simpler tasks.(建立日常计划的关键是用你最有效率的时间去做有挑战性的任务，用你最没有效率的时间去做简单的任务)”可知，本段是关于灵活安排时间和任务，A项“灵活应变”符合语境，故选A。 3．根据下文“For example, you might have a doctor’s appointment during the time you usually set aside for work. Arranging free time in your daily routine will help to keep things flowing smoothly despite atypical events.(例如，你可能会在你通常用来工作的时间去看医生。在日常生活中安排一些空闲时间将有助于保持事情顺利进行，尽管发生了一些不寻常的事情)”可知，此处是描日常计划发生小插曲的情况，G项“即使是最详细的例行公事，生活也会阻碍你”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文“Stick to the routine for at least 30 days.(坚持至少30天)”和下文“Once your tasks are arranged into the right spots, you should find sticking to your daily routine to be easier than you ever thought.(一旦你的任务被安排到正确的位置，你会发现坚持你的日常工作比你想象的要容易得多)”可知，上文说坚持测试日程计划至少30天，后文说一旦计划变得合理，日常工作会更容易，故空处应是说测试之后修改不合理之处，计划一旦被安排得妥当，日常工作就变得更容易，C项“改变任何不起作用的计划”和上下文衔接得当，故选C。 5．根据下文“But you will soon see the benefits when your productivity rises and you find you actually have pockets of free time.(但当你的效率提高了，你很快就会看到好处，你会发现你真的有了一些空闲时间)”可知，下文是说好处，空处和下文是转折关系，E项“一开始，制定日常计划似乎是一项艰巨的任务”符合语境，故选E。 （23-24高一下·广东茂名·期中）How to Get Your Children to Help with Housework It’s natural for young children to want to spend time with their parents.

But sometimes it can be hard to tell when you’ve crossed the line from “stranger” to “friend” with another person. 1 See if they have your back during hard times. A true friend should be with you through the good, bad, and ugly. They should offer to help you however they can, and bring you back from the darkness into the light again. A true friend would never think of leaving you during a difficult time in your life. 2 They might even think or say that your problems are a burden to them. That’s the mark of a fake (假的) friend. 3 Some people may pretend to be your friend, and they’d much rather see you fail or get into trouble. 4 But, for the most part, friends should be a good influence on you. They inspire you to become a better person. For example, your friend might push you to finish school and inspire you to give back to others. Notice if they are forgiving. 5 When you mess up and hurt their feelings, you might apologize (道歉) and beg for their forgiveness. A good friend will gratefully accept your apology and offer you forgiveness. For example, if you forgot to call a friend back, they shouldn’t be mad at you. They should recognize that it was a simple mistake and not give you a hard time about it. A．This happens occasionally, of course. B．Decide if they help make you a better person. C．Ask if they make time for you, even when they’re busy. D．Friends won’t make it all about them in communication. E．A fake friend will probably only stick around when things are going well.

But sometimes it can be hard to tell when you’ve crossed the line from “stranger” to “friend” with another person.(朋友使生活更丰富，更令人满意，这是肯定的。但有时候很难判断你和另一个人的关系是否已经从“陌生人”变成了“朋友”)”结合后文主要介绍了识别朋友的建议。故F选项“读下去，通过寻找一些关键因素来找到谁是你生命中的朋友”符合语境，故选F。 2．根据上文“A true friend would never think of leaving you during a difficult time in your life.(真正的朋友永远不会在你人生的困难时期想到离开你)”可知，上文提到了真朋友的做法，推测本句是在说明假朋友的做法。故E选项“假朋友可能只会在事情进展顺利的时候留在身边”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据后文“But, for the most part, friends should be a good influence on you. They inspire you to become a better person. For example, your friend might push you to finish school and inspire you to give back to others. Notice if they are forgiving.(但是，在大多数情况下，朋友应该对你有好的影响。他们激励你成为一个更好的人。例如，你的朋友可能会督促你完成学业，激励你回馈他人。注意他们是否宽容)”可知，本段提出的因素是通过朋友是否让你成为了更好的人来确定是不是朋友。故B选项“决定他们是否能帮助你成为一个更好的人”符合语境，故选B。 4．根据上文“Some people may pretend to be your friend, and they’d much rather see you fail or get into trouble.(有些人可能会假装是你的朋友，他们更愿意看到你失败或陷入麻烦)”以及后文“But, for the most part, friends should be a good influence on you.(但是，在大多数情况下，朋友应该对你有好的影响)”可知，后文与本句构成转折关系，推测本句是在说明上文提到的现象是会发生的情况。故A选项“当然，这种情况偶尔会发生”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据后文“When you mess up and hurt their feelings, you might apologize (道歉) and beg for their forgiveness. A good friend will gratefully accept your apology and offer you forgiveness. For example, if you forgot to call a friend back, they shouldn’t be mad at you. They should recognize that it was a simple mistake and not give you a hard time about it.(当你搞砸了，伤害了他们的感情，你可能会道歉，乞求他们的原谅。好朋友会感激地接受你的道歉并原谅你。例如，如果你忘记给朋友回电话，他们不应该生你的气。他们应该认识到这是一个简单的错误，而不是让你为难)”可知，后文主要说明了搞砸了事情，推测是在说明犯错的时候朋友的反应。故G选项“每个人都会犯错，你的朋友应该愿意接受你和别人没有什么不同”符合语境，故选G。 （23-24高一下·浙江·期中）As the world struggles to deal with the climate crisis, some companies are working to remove polluting carbon dioxide from the air. 1 But two US companies have recently made important progress. Scientists say large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the CO2 atmosphere and stored. 2 But there’s so much CO2 in the atmosphere that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. And, when plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture(DAC). The science of removing carbon from the air is challenging, and it’s still pretty new. 3 So one puzzle for these companies is how to remove carbon without creating more pollution. A company called Heirloom has just opened the first DAC plant in the United States. The company heats up the limestone to separate out the CO2, which is concrete. The process is extremely expensive. 4 That’s a tiny amount compared to how much carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere, but the company says it hopes to remove a billion tons per year by 2035. 5 Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. A．Plants and trees do this naturally. B．That’s a huge and challenging goal. C．Not everyone is excited about carbon removal. D．Graphyte is another US company working on DAC． E．The new plant can remove 1,000 tons of CO2 a year. F．Most DAC processes require a large amount of energy. G．As a matter of fact, CO2 is just a small part of the gases that make up air. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．F 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“从空气中去除二氧化碳”这一主题展开，介绍了科学家们对于从大气中去除并储存大量二氧化碳的观点、目前面临的挑战、以及两家美国公司在这一领域取得的进展。同时，也提到了人们对于直接空气捕获（DAC）技术的不同看法和担忧。 1．根据空前“As the world struggles to deal with the climate crisis, some companies are working to remove polluting carbon dioxide from the air.(在全球努力应对气候危机之际，一些公司正在努力消除空气中的污染二氧化碳。)”可知，很多公司都在努力消除空气中的污染二氧化碳。选项B“That’s a huge and challenging goal.(这是一个巨大而具有挑战性的目标。)”自然延续上文内容，指出消除空气中的污染二氧化碳是一个巨大而具有挑战性的目标；同时引出空后内容“But two US companies have recently made important progress.(但两家美国公司最近取得了重要进展。)”。选项B与上下文内容相符，有承上启下的作用。故选B。 2．根据下文内容“But there’s so much CO2 in the atmosphere that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. And, when plants and trees die, the carbon they’ve stored gets released again.(但是大气中有太多的二氧化碳，仅仅植树和保护森林并不能解决这个问题。而且，当植物和树木死亡时，它们储存的碳会再次释放出来。)”可推测，空处和植物从二氧化碳大气中去除大量的二氧化碳并将其储存起来相关。选项A“Plants and trees do this naturally.(植物和树木自然会这样做。)”中的“this”指的是空前“Scientists say large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the CO2 atmosphere and stored.(科学家表示，必须从二氧化碳大气中去除大量的二氧化碳并将其储存起来。)”中的“large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the CO2 atmosphere and stored”，同时和下文保持一致。故选A。 3．根据空前的“That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture(DAC). The science of removing carbon from the air is challenging, and it’s still pretty new.(这意味着人类需要想出从空气中去除碳并储存碳的方法。这被称为直接空气捕获(DAC)。从空气中去除碳的科学是具有挑战性的，而且它仍然很新。)”可知，空前提到了DAC。选项F“Most DAC processes require a large amount of energy.(大多数DAC过程需要大量的能量。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指出DAC过程需要大量的能量，从而自然引出下文“So one puzzle for these companies is how to remove carbon without creating more pollution.(因此，这些公司面临的一个难题是如何在不造成更多污染的情况下去除碳。)”。故选F。 4．根据空前的“A company called Heirloom has just opened the first DAC plant in the United States. The company heats up the limestone to separate out the CO2, which is concrete. The process is extremely expensive.(一家名为Heirloom的公司刚刚在美国开设了第一家DAC工厂。该公司加热石灰石，分离出二氧化碳，也就是混凝土。这个过程非常昂贵。)”可知，一家名为Heirloom的公司刚刚开设了第一家DAC工厂。选项E“The new plant can remove 1,000 tons of CO2 a year.(新工厂每年可以去除1000吨二氧化碳。)”自然延续上文内容，指的是新工厂每年可以去除1000吨二氧化碳。同时与空后“That’s a tiny amount compared to how much carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere, but the company says it hopes to remove a billion tons per year by 2035.(与需要从大气中去除的碳量相比，这是微不足道的，但该公司表示，希望到2035年每年能去除10亿吨碳。)”相一致。故选E。 5．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions, like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air.(有些人担心DAC技术需要很长时间才能变得强大到足以发挥作用。另一些人则担心，专注于消除碳排放可能会分散人们对更重要的气候行动的注意力，比如从化石燃料转向可再生能源。但专家表示，这个决定并不是选择其中之一。世界需要停止使用化石燃料，减少空气中的碳。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是人们对DAC技术的担忧。选项C“Not everyone is excited about carbon removal.(不是每个人都对除碳感到兴奋。)”是上文内容的总结，指的是不是每个人都对除碳感到兴奋，有不少人对该技术表示担忧。故选C。 （23-24高一下·江西南昌·期中）“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” Old tales tell a seemingly unbelievable story of a mysterious mirror, but modern technology has secretly turned the magic into reality. In August, police caught criminal suspects who attended Chinese singer Jacky Cheung's concerts. How did the police pick out the suspects among thousands of screaming fans? 1 The low­key (低调的) yet powerful tool is entering the world of China’s top investors and startup (创业) companies. How does AI facial recognition work? Facial recognition is a technology capable of identifying a person from a digital image or a frame from a video source. 2 But on the whole, they work by comparing selected facial features from given images with faces within a database. 3 Facial recognition technology has been traditionally associated with the security section but today there is active expansion into other industries including retail, marketing and finance. In terms of security, AI cameras have been installed in cities to work day and night to help recognize wanted criminals. 4 It is a most efficient security means in opening a bank account, transferring money, shopping and paying online because it is a most convenient tool. What will the future of AI be like? In general, prospects for the application of AI are bright for many. In the future, everybody will be able to use AI. 5 Therefore, the number of fields that it can be applied to is incomparable.

You’ll leave a carbon footprint, no matter what. 1 Here are a few questions to ask: Is it a B Corp? B Corps are businesses that meet a strict set of standards by the nonprofit B Lab. They include requirements for governance, workers, customers, community and the environment. 2 You’ll see some fairly well-known brands, like Intrepid Travel. But you won’t find the names of any major airlines, car rental companies or hotel chains-at least, not yet. Does the company have any other environmental certifications? Third-party certifications from Green Key, LEED and WELL can be signs that a travel company means business about the environment. Transportation companies may also offer verified certifications from organizations like Terrapass or the Gold Standard Foundation. 3 However, it’s a good start. 4 If the company claims to be green, don’t just take its word for it. Listen to what it says. If you see nothing but models on its Instagram channel or ads for online discounts on its site, perhaps it’s a shade of fake green. “A company’s social media strategy is generally a reflection of its current ethos and goals,” explained Julia Carter, founder of Craft Travel. How deep is its commitment to the environment? 5 For example, the Travel Corporation publishes an annual impact report that maps its progress against 11 sustainability goals developed by the United Nations. Many cruise lines also publish detailed reports that allow you to check their commitment to the environment against several objective standards. A．But your trip can be green-ish. B．What’s the company saying to everyone? C．How can we find a reliable company online? D．Don’t trust anything the company says to the public. E．These certifications aren’t a guarantee the company is green. F．Look for reliable reports on sustainability from a travel company. G．You can search the directory of these forward-looking companies online. 【答案】1．A 2．G 3．E 4．B 5．F 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何通过寻找环保旅游公司来进行环保旅行。 1．前文“Look, let’s be honest-there’s no such thing as a “green” vacation. You’ll leave a carbon footprint, no matter what.(听着，老实说，根本没有所谓的“绿色”假期。无论如何，你都会留下碳足迹)”表示“绿色”假期是不存在的，后文“Here are a few questions to ask:(这里有几个问题要问)”引出下文关于旅游公司是否对环境有益的问题，A选项“但你的旅行可以是绿色的”与前文构成转折，表示即使实现不了“绿色”假期，旅行仍然可以是环保的，符合语境。故选A。 2．前文“B Corps are businesses that meet a strict set of standards by the nonprofit B Lab. They include requirements for governance, workers, customers, community and the environment.(B型企业是指符合非营利性B型实验室制定的一套严格标准的企业。它们包括对管理、工人、客户、社区和环境的要求)”陈述了什么是B型企业，后文“You’ll see some fairly well-known brands, like Intrepid Travel.(你会看到一些相当知名的品牌，比如Intrepid Travel)”可知，G选项“你可以在网上搜索这些前瞻性公司的目录”说明如何查阅公司，引出下文。且these forward-looking companies与前文提到的B型企业对应。故选G。 3．前文“Third-party certifications from Green Key, LEED and WELL can be signs that a travel company means business about the environment. Transportation companies may also offer verified certifications from organizations like Terrapass or the Gold Standard Foundation.(来自Green Key、LEED和WELL的第三方认证可以作为旅游公司重视环境的标志。运输公司也可以提供来自Terrapass或黄金标准基金会等组织的认证证书)”表示可以寻找公司证书，后文“However, it’s a good start.(然而，这是一个好的开始)”进行转折，表示通过证书判断是好的开始，E选项“这些认证并不能保证公司是环保的”中These certifications与上文“说明的证书”对应，与下文进行转折，表示有证书虽然不能判断公司是否环保，但是是一个好的开始。故选E。 4．空处为小标题，后文“If the company claims to be green, don’t just take its word for it. Listen to what it says.(如果一家公司声称自己是环保的，不要只相信它的话。听听它说了什么)”表明应仔细聆听公司的发声，B选项“公司对每个人说了什么”符合本段主旨。故选B。 5．根据后文“For example, the Travel Corporation publishes an annual impact report that maps its progress against 11 sustainability goals developed by the United Nations.(例如，旅游公司发布了一份年度影响报告，将其进展与联合国制定的11个可持续发展目标进行对比)”可知，空处总结下文，F选项“从旅游公司寻找可靠的可持续发展报告”符合下文语境，且后一句为本句的具体例子展开说明。故选F。 （23-24高一下·浙江·期中）If your child is applying to private school for middle school or high school, he can expect to have an interview with a member of the admissions (招生) team.

But has advertising become a problem for society? If let me rate the current online advertising risks, I would probably give 2 points. 2 Advertising makes us associate happiness with consumerism (消费主义). After they’ve achieved to ruin our self-esteem (自尊), advertisements are trying to fool us into thinking that only products and services can make us feel better. 3 What is it? You guessed right: Shopping. Once they achieve to make you feel ugly, they sell you beauty products so you can improve on your ugliness. Once they manage to make you believe that you are not important, they sell you expensive clothes so you can attract the attention of others. And so on and so forth. 4 We have an economic system in which people have to make money in order to survive — and this can be clearly seen in the advertising industry. By showing you what the ideal life is supposed to be, and then making you compare your ordinary life to it, they slowly lead you to believe that you’re not beautiful, intelligent, confident, and so on, until they fully convince you that you are basically not good. The reason? To make you feel insecure so that they can then emotionally control you. In short, advertisements promise you happiness, provided that you spend money in return. The result? 5 A．Advertising pushes us to make money. B．Advertising makes us feel that we’re not good enough. C．So what exactly are the main problems of advertising on society? D．The average person sees between 280 and 310 advertisements per day. E．Without shopping, advertisements tell you that you can’t find happiness. F．In other words, advertisements create a problem and then offer us a solution to it. G．Consuming stuff you don’t even need and leading to waste that is pollution our planet. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．F 4．B 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了广告所带来的问题。 1．根据上文“How many advertisements have you seen in your life?(你一生中看过多少广告？)”可知，本句主要回答上文关于看过多少广告的问题。故D选项“平均每个人每天看到280到310个广告”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据上文“If let me rate the current online advertising risks, I would probably give 2 points.(如果让我给当前的网络广告风险打分，我可能会给2分)”可知，上文提到了给广告风险打分，结合后文主要分析了广告带来的问题。故C选项“那么广告给社会带来的主要问题到底是什么？”符合语境，引起下文，故选C。 3．根据上文“Advertising makes us associate happiness with consumerism (消费主义). After they’ve achieved to ruin our self-esteem (自尊), advertisements are trying to fool us into thinking that only products and services can make us feel better.(广告使我们把幸福和消费主义联系在一起。广告在摧毁了我们的自尊之后，又试图愚弄我们，让我们认为只有产品和服务才能让我们感觉更好)”可知，本句承接上文，进一步解释广告是如何愚弄我们的。故F选项“换句话说，广告制造了一个问题，然后给我们提供了一个解决方案”符合语境，故选F。 4．根据后文“We have an economic system in which people have to make money in order to survive—and this can be clearly seen in the advertising industry. By showing you what the ideal life is supposed to be, and then making you compare your ordinary life to it, they slowly lead you to believe that you’re not beautiful, intelligent, confident, and so on, until they fully convince you that you are basically not good. The reason? To make you feel insecure so that they can then emotionally control you.(在我们的经济体系中，人们必须赚钱才能生存——这在广告业中可以清楚地看到。通过向你展示理想的生活应该是什么样子，然后让你把你的普通生活与之比较，他们慢慢地让你相信你不漂亮，不聪明，不自信，等等，直到他们完全说服你，你基本上不好。原因？让你感到不安全，这样他们就能在情感上控制你)”可知，后文提到了广告让你相信你不漂亮，不聪明，不自信，即告诉你不够好，好控制你的情感。故B选项“广告让我们觉得自己不够好”符合语境，故选B。 5．根据上文“In short, advertisements promise you happiness, provided that you spend money in return. The result?(简而言之，广告承诺给你幸福，只要你花钱作为回报。结果呢？)”可知，本句主要说明广告带来的结果，广告的最终目的是促使人们消费。故G选项“消费你根本不需要的东西，导致浪费，污染我们的星球”符合语境，故选G。 （23-24高一下·浙江宁波·期中）Tips for online learning Online learning has the same basic elements as face-to-face learning. The major difference is that instruction is delivered online. Many of the strategies for effective face-to-face learning also apply to online learning. 1 Here are some strategies we recommend: Create space to learn. Invest some time to understand your needs and preferences as a learner, and what an effective study environment looks like for you. For example, you might need a quiet place to study, or you might need to listen to classical music. Consider what equipment you might need. Wherever you study, try to minimize distractions. 2 Manage your time effectively. Spend some time getting familiar with your online courses, understanding what is expected of you, mapping out key deadlines, and planning study time. 3 Research shows that learners gain more information if they spread their study over multiple days or sessions. Make sure your routine works with your other commitments so you’re more likely to stick to it. 4 Just as with face-to-face learning, mental energy matters: take time to reflect on whether you have understood the materials, try to remember and sort the information you have learned to aid memory, test your understanding, mix different concepts and skills into the same study session to build connections and fluency, ask questions, participate in class discussions, and try teaching concepts to others. Ask for assistance! In an online learning environment, you may need to ask lots of questions and take ownership over shaping the learning experience so that it meets your needs. 5 Finally, if you’re facing specific challenges such as illness, mental health, accessibility, balancing childcare responsibilities, etc., it’s important for you to reach out to your instructors or the relevant student support services for discussion and creative problem-solving. A．Regularly reflect on the course materials. B．A long-term routine will help you stay on track. C．Actively review and apply what you have learned. D．However, online learning may require some additional skills to be successful. E．At the end of the week, reflect on how you did, and adjust your routine as required. F．This might mean asking your instructors or peers for help, or attending study groups. G．Work with your roommates or family to create personal space so you can stay focused. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．B 4．C 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于线上学习的一些建议。 1．根据上文“Online learning has the same basic elements as face-to-face learning.
