A
You really can make free phone calls using the Internet.
Google Meet
Google Meet is an app-to-app calling service that works across desktop and mobile platforms. Video meetings are encrypted (加密), it also supports audio calls, and you can form massive group calls with up to 100 people. What’s more appealing is that Google Meet display s real-time captions (字幕) as the other person is speaking.
Signal
Signal lets you send and receive texts, make voice and video calls (including group calls), and share your location and files. It was developed with a focus on privacy and security; it uses end-to-end encryption to protect your messages and calls, so only you and the recipient can see or hear what you’re exchanging.
Google Voice
Google Voice is one of the best ways to make a call over the Internet. You get a real phone number, so you can make free calls to an actual phone number. Free calls you make with Google Voice must be to numbers in the United States or Canada, and they’re limited to three hours. However, you can continue to make a free call to the same number over and over again.
WhatsApp
Meta-owned WhatsApp is a popular texting app with hundreds of millions of users. However, you can also call your WhatsApp friends right from the app using only your Internet connection. You just need to confirm your phone number to get started. Once you’re using the app, you can start a new conversation to clearly see which of your contacts are also using WhatsApp, and then you can call them for free no matter where in the world they’re located. Group calls can include as many as 32 people.
11. What is a feature of Google Meet?

Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness...
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.
I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing.
“I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.”
The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?”
And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”
This is what older age means. We do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
14. What does the author say about her present life?
A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends.
C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises.
15. Why did the author mention the sparrow?
A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort.
C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval.
16. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Physical weakness. B. The great lie.
C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul.
17. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author?
A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can.
C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done.
C
Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age.
Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.
Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down?
In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all.
18. What does the author imply about data usage?
A. It is energy-consuming.
B. It is easy and convenient.
C. Its negative effects are ignored.
D. Its benefits are underestimated.
19. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. To entertain. B. To inform.
C. To persuade. D. To inspire.
20. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3?
A. At risk. B. At a loss.
C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage.
21. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph?
A. The removal of digital data.
B. The promotion of ecotourism.
C. The value of personal contribution.
D. The significance of systemic change.
D
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿)consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘)as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
22. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
23. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________.
A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers
24. Why does the author mention museums?
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
25. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,并将答题卡上对应字母涂黑。选项中有两项是多余选项。(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
A lack of motivation can be the biggest barrier to reaching your goals. When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, consider adopting the following techniques to develop a plan for self-motivation. ____26____. You can make attempts at them to see which one best helps you.
Act as if you feel motivated
If you’re struggling with motivation try changing your behavior to trick yourself into feeling more motivated. For example, instead of lying on the couch in your pajamas all day, get dressed and spring into action. ____27____.
Argue the opposite
When you’re feeling unmotivated, you tend to come up with a long list of excuses for not taking any action. You might think, “It’ll be too hard,” or “I’ll never get it done anyway.” These thoughts can keep you stuck and block your progress. ____28____. This can help you shift your mindset and remind you that achieving your goal is possible.
____29____
You might believe that being tough on yourself is the way to motivate yourself. But severe self-criticism doesn’t work. Research suggests that treating yourself with warmth and understanding is a more effective motivator, especially in times of difficulty. So rather than beat yourself up for mistakes, create a gentle inner dialogue.
Follow the 10-minute rule
____30____. But once you’ve taken that first step, it becomes much easier to keep going. If you’re feeling hesitant about beginning a task, try using the 10-minute rule. Allow yourself to quit after just 10 minutes if you need to. When you reach the 10-minute mark, you’ll probably find that you have enough motivation to continue.
A. Practice self-kindness
B. Having a sense of rules is very important
C. Getting started on a task is usually the hardest part
D. You may find that it will stimulate you to make efforts
E. Learning to challenge them can help you move forward

B
Do I think the sky is falling? Sort of.
My husband and I were recently in Egypt, where the temperature was a bit warm for my tiny princess self. So, we left Egypt. Back home, my dearest friends struggled with health stuff, with family craziness...
The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt.
I ache for the world but naturally I’m mostly watching the Me Movie, where balance and strength are beginning to fail. What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.
Recently I was walking along a beach with Neshama. We go back 50 years. She is 84, short and strong. Every so often, she bent down somewhat tentatively (踌躇地) and picked up small items into a small cloth bag.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m picking up micro litter. I try to help where I can.”
I reminded her of an old story. A great warhorse comes upon a tiny sparrow (麻雀) lying on its back with its feet in the air, eyes tightly shut with effort. The horse asks it what it’s doing.
“I’m trying to help hold back the darkness.”
The horse laughs loudly, “That is so funny. What do you weigh?”
And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”
This is what older age means. We do what we can.
We continued our walk. Neshama bent tentatively to pick up bits of litter and started to slip, but I caught her and we laughed. We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. We can take it, as long as we feel and give love, and laugh gently at ourselves as we fall apart. We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.
14. What does the author say about her present life?
A. She leads a balanced life. B. She enjoys meeting old friends.
C. She is really into movies. D. She struggles with family crises.
15. Why did the author mention the sparrow?
A. To confirm Neshama’s fear. B. To offer her comfort.
C. To change Neshama’s mind. D. To show her approval.
16. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Physical weakness. B. The great lie.
C. The rowing machine. D. The broken soul.
17. What largely determines happiness in older age according to the author?
A. Achieving important life goals. B. Enjoying life as you can.
C. Living a life of love and service. D. Loving what is being done.
【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A 17. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要描述了作者和丈夫在埃及经历、与老朋友在海滩上散步的情景,以及通过讲述马和麻雀的故事来表达自己对生活、友情、年龄和努力的看法,强调友情、爱和服务的力量超越物质追求。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“What can we do as the creaking elevator of age slowly arrive? The main solution is to get outside every day, ideally with friends. Old friends — even thoughts of them — are my comfort.(随着年龄的电梯慢慢到来,我们能做些什么呢?主要的解决办法是每天出去走走,最好是和朋友一起。老朋友——哪怕只是想起他们——都是我的安慰。)”可知,作者烦恼的时候就想和朋友一起。由此可知,作者喜欢和老朋友见面。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“And the sparrow replies, “One does what one can.”(麻雀回答说:“做自己能做的事。”)”以及倒数第二段“This is what older age means. We do what we can.(这就是老年的含义。我们做我们能做的。)”可推测出,作者提到麻雀的故事是为了表达作者对于麻雀行为的赞同,作者认为我们做自己能做的就可以了。故选D。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“We are so physically vulnerable in older age, but friendship makes it all a rowing machine for the soul. (上了年纪,我们的身体是如此脆弱,但友谊使它成为灵魂的划船机。)”可知,划线单词“it”所指的是上了年纪后,我们的身体会脆弱。故选A。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We know by a certain age the great lie in our life — if you do or achieve this or that, you will be happy and rich. No. Love and service make us rich.(到了一定的年龄,我们就会知道生活中最大的谎言——如果你做到了或实现了这个或那个,你就会快乐和富有。不。爱和服务使我们富有。)”可知,作者认为幸福不是通过实现重要的人生目标获得的,而是通过爱和服务的生活方式来获得的。故选C。
C
Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age.
Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.
Today, about 400 million homes worldwide have at least one “smart” device— curtains, electric cookers, refrigerators, and pads. By 2028, that figure is expected to nearly double. We are, in other words, being taken into a world where it’s harder to do anything without turning on a digital light bulb. This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind. After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down?
In the absence of systemic change, worrying over our individual data-usage decisions is “like trying to hold back a flood with a bucket and spade (铁铲).” Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all.
18. What does the author imply about data usage?
A. It is energy-consuming.
B. It is easy and convenient.
C. Its negative effects are ignored.
D. Its benefits are underestimated.
19. What is the function of paragraph 2?
A. To entertain. B. To inform.
C. To persuade. D. To inspire.
20. What do the underlined words “in a bind” mean in paragraph 3?
A. At risk. B. At a loss.
C. At ease. D. At a disadvantage.
21. What does the author emphasize concerning carbon reduction in the last paragraph?
A. The removal of digital data.
B. The promotion of ecotourism.
C. The value of personal contribution.
D. The significance of systemic change.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. B 21. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要探讨了数字数据使用对环境的影响,强调了在AI时代减少碳排放的必要性。文章通过分析数据传输过程中的碳排放问题,指出随着智能设备的普及,数据使用对环境的影响日益显著。尽管系统性变革是关键,但个人在数据使用上的选择也能对环保产生积极影响。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Every time we make a new video or send an email, or post a photo of our latest meal, it’s like turning on a small light bulb (灯泡) that’ll never be turned off. This points to an uncomfortable and extremely modern question: To help save the planet, should we be using less data? Given how much of modern life depends on digital data, the answer could be a key aspect to living nobly in the AI age.(每次我们制作一个新视频、发一封电子邮件、发布一张我们最近吃的饭的照片,就像打开了一个永远关不掉的小灯泡。这就引出了一个让人不舒服但又非常现代的问题:为了拯救地球,我们应该减少数据的使用吗?考虑到现代生活在很大程度上依赖于数字数据,这个问题的答案可能是在人工智能时代高尚生活的一个关键方面。)”和第二段的“When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.(当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时,它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司,再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的,这些都加起来了。)”可知,作者指出每一次发送信总、发布照片等行为都会产生碳排放,因为这些行为都依赖于一系列耗电的电了设备。故选A。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“Why do posts produce carbon at all? When you send a post on Moments, it goes along a chain of energy-burning electronics. Your Wi-Fi router sends the signal along wires to the local exchange — the box on the street corner — and from there to a telecoms company, and from there to huge data centers operated by the tech giants. Each of those runs on electricity, and it all adds up.( 为什么帖子会产生碳呢?当你在朋友圈发一条帖子时,它会通过一系列耗能的电子设备。你的Wi-Fi路由器通过电线将信号发送到本地交换机——街角的盒子——然后从那里发送到电信公司,再从那里发送到由科技巨头运营的大型数据中心。每一个都是用电运行的,这些都加起来了。)”详细解释了数据发布过程小能源消耗的具体环节,包括数据从用户设备传输到数据中心的路径及共对电力的依赖。因此推断这一段的主要目的是向读者传递信息,解释数据使用为何会产生碳排放。故选B。
【20题详解】
词义猎测题。根据下文“After all, who would like to be someone that can’t get their information properly because they’re too busy keeping the carbon footprint of their searches down?(毕竟,谁愿意成为一个因为忙于降低搜索的碳足迹而无法正确获取信息的人呢?)”和作者提到“This puts eco-conscious consumers in a bind.(这让有环保意识的消费者陷入了困境。)”环保意识的消费者会in a bind可推断,他们既希望减少碳足迹,又不想错过获取信息的机会。因此,“in a bind”可以理解为“陷入困境”。故选B。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Still, there’s something we can do. When we face a digital decision, the less data-thirsty option will often be the smarter one. Blocking third-party tracking when we’ re on the web, for example, not only reduces the power consumption of internet browsing; it’s also good for your privacy. More fundamentally, maybe we don’t need to turn everything into data. If I put down my phone the next time I’m on a train, it won’t save the planet. But I’ll be looking out the window with my own eyes, creating a memory that releases no carbon at all.(不过,我们还是有办法的。当我们面临数字化决策时,对数据需求较少的选择往往是更明智的选择。例如,当我们上网时阻止第三方跟踪,不仅减少了互联网浏览的功耗;这对你的隐私也有好处。更根本的是,也许我们不需要把所有东西都变成数据。如果我下次在火车上放下手机,那也不能拯救地球。但我会用自己的眼睛看着窗外,创造一段完全不释放碳的记忆。)”提到,尽管个人行为对整体环境影响有限,们我们仍可以在口常生活小做出更环保的选择,例如减少数据使用或关闭第一方追踪。因此推断作者强调即使个人页献微小,也有价值。故选C。
D
For the past five years, Paula Smith, a historian of science, has devoted herself to re-creating long-forgotten techniques. While doing research for her new book, she came across a 16th-century French manuscript(手稿)consisting of nearly 1,000 sets of instructions, covering subjects from tool making to finding the best sand.
The author's intention remains as mysterious(神秘)as his name; he may have been simply taking notes for his own records. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.
Though Smith did get her hands on the best sand, doing things the old-fashioned way isn't just about playing around with French mud. Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, and what went on in the workshops that produced them. It can even help solve present-day problems: In 2015, scientists discovered that a 10th-century English medicine for eve problems could kill a drug-resistant virus.
The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how an object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down. Scholars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Roman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbow of striking colours. We can't appreciate these kinds of details without seeing works of art as they originally appeared-something Smith believes you can do only when you have a road map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas into practice. Her final goal is to link the worlds of art and science back together: She believes that bringing the old recipes to life can help develop a kind of learning that highlights experimentation, teamwork, and problem solving.
Back when science—then called “the new philosophy”—took shape, academics looked to craftsmen for help in understanding the natural world. Microscopes and telescopes were invented by way of artistic tinkering(修补), as craftsmen experimented with glass to better bend light.
If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors.
22. How did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A. Confused about the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructions.
C. Discouraged by its complex structure.
D. Shocked for her own lack of hand skills.
23. According to Smith, the reconstruction work is done mainly to _____________.
A. restore old workshops B. understand the craftsmen
C. improve visual effects D. inspire the philosophers
24. Why does the author mention museums?
A. To reveal the beauty of ancient objects.
B. To present the findings of old science.
C. To highlight the importance of antiques.
D. To emphasise the values of hand skills.
25. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends for Artists
B Craftsmanship Leads to New Theories
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists
D. Craftsmen Reshape the Future of Science
【答案】22. D 23. B 24. D 25. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述科学家Paula Smith致力于对古代手工技能的研究,认为科学家如果能够把古代的手工技能和现代的科学方法结合起来,就能够创造更大成就。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any of the skills the author described. "You simply can't get an understanding of that handwork by reading about it," she says.” 让史密斯震惊的主要是,她并没有真正掌握作者所描述的任何技能。她说:“你根本无法通过阅读来了解这些手工作品。” 由此可知读完这份法国手稿,这种手工技能让史密斯感到震惊,故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Reconstructing the work of the craftsmen(工匠)who lived centuries ago can reveal how they viewed the world, what objects filled their homes, ” 重建几个世纪前工匠的作品,可以揭示他们如何看待世界,他们的家里有什么物件。由此可知,重建工作主要是为了了解工匠。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The work has also brought insights for museums, Smith says. One must know how on object was made in order to preserve it. What's more, reconstructions might be the only way to know what treasures looked like before time wore them down.” 史密斯说,这项工作也给博物馆带来了深刻的见解。为了保存它,一个人必须知道一件物品是如何制成的。更重要的是,重建可能是唯一的方法,以了解宝藏磨损之前的样子。因此可知,博物馆要想很好保存物品,必须要知道这件物品是如何制成的,也是在强调手工技能的价值,故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If we can rediscover the values of hands-on experience and craftwork, Smith says, we can marry the best of our modern insights with the handiness of our ancestors. ”史密斯说,如果我们能重新发现实践经验和工艺的价值,我们就能将现代的最好见解与我们祖先的灵巧结合起来。由此可知本文的中心思想就在于如果科学家能把古代的手工技巧同现代的理论结合起来,就能够获得更多的成就。C选项Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists工艺造就了更好的科学家,符合文章主题,适合做标题,故选C。
【点睛】标题猜测题。属于主旨大意题的一种,标题应位于文章之首,概括文章内容,点明文章主题。它可以是单词,短语,或句子。确定文章标题,第一,标题要与主题密切相关;其次,看标题是否能概括全文内容,不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节;第三,标题范围不应太大或太小;最后,标题应新颖,概括性强并且精炼。小题4中C选项概括文中主旨大意,与主题密切相关,故选C。
第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项,并将答题卡上对应字母涂黑。选项中有两项是多余选项。(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
A lack of motivation can be the biggest barrier to reaching your goals. When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, consider adopting the following techniques to develop a plan for self-motivation. ____26____. You can make attempts at them to see which one best helps you.
Act as if you feel motivated
If you’re struggling with motivation, try changing your behavior to trick yourself into feeling more motivated. For example, instead of lying on the couch in your pajamas all day, get dressed and spring into action. ____27____.
Argue the opposite
When you’re feeling unmotivated, you tend to come up with a long list of excuses for not taking any action. You might think, “It’ll be too hard,” or “I’ll never get it done anyway.” These thoughts can keep you stuck and block your progress. ____28____. This can help you shift your mindset and remind you that achieving your goal is possible.
____29____
You might believe that being tough on yourself is the way to motivate yourself. But severe self-criticism doesn’t work. Research suggests that treating yourself with warmth and understanding is a more effective motivator, especially in times of difficulty. So rather than beat yourself up for mistakes, create a gentle inner dialogue.
Follow the 10-minute rule
____30____. But once you’ve taken that first step, it becomes much easier to keep going. If you’re feeling hesitant about beginning a task, try using the 10-minute rule. Allow yourself to quit after just 10 minutes if you need to. When you reach the 10-minute mark, you’ll probably find that you have enough motivation to continue.
A. Practice self-kindness
B. Having a sense of rules is very important
C. Getting started on a task is usually the hardest part
D. You may find that it will stimulate you to make efforts
E. Learning to challenge them can help you move forward
F. Keep in mind that not every strategy works for everyone
G. Instead, focus on the factors that could lead to your success
【答案】26. F 27. D 28. G 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文, 主要介绍了提升自己的动力的策略。
【26题详解】
根据前文“When you have no motivation to complete a task or even start one, consider adopting the following techniques to develop a plan for self-motivation.( 当你没有动力完成一项任务,甚至没有动力开始一项任务时,考虑采用以下技巧来制定一个自我激励的计划。)”以及下文“You can make attempts at them to see which one best helps you.( 你可以尝试一下,看看哪一个对你最有帮助。)”可知,前文讲述可以采用一些技巧自我激励,下文讲述要找到对自己最有帮助的,因此推断策略不是对每个人都有效。F项“请记住,并非每种策略都适用于所有人”符合句意。故选F。
【27题详解】
根据标题“Act as if you feel motivated(行动起来好像你有动力一样)”可知,本段讲述要行动起来,上文“For example, instead of lying on the couch in your pajamas all day, get dressed and spring into action.( 例如,与其整天穿着睡衣躺在沙发上,不如穿上衣服,马上行动起来。)”举例说明要行动起来,因此推断D项“你会发现它会激励你做出努力”符合语境,说明行动起来会激励你努力,it指代上文提到的“spring into action”,故选D。
【28题详解】
前文“When you’re feeling unmotivated, you tend to come up with a long list of excuses for not taking any action. You might think, “It’ll be too hard,” or “I’ll never get it done anyway.” These thoughts can keep you stuck and block your progress.( 当你感到没有动力时,你往往会想出一长串不采取任何行动的借口。你可能会想,“这太难了”,或者“反正我也做不完。”这些想法会让你停滞不前,阻碍你的进步。)”阐述没有动力的时候,会寻找很多的借口,因此推断空处提出解决办法,G项“相反,把注意力集中在那些可能导致你成功的因素上”提出解决办法,把注意力集中在能够让你成功的因素上,也就是积极的东西上,前后文是转折关系。故选G。
【29题详解】
根据下文“Research suggests that treating yourself with warmth and understanding is a more effective motivator, especially in times of difficulty.
