In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. 41 Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it? The answer is, “Yes”! As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” 42 For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true and inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. 43 Because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. 44 It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. 45 We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. A. We are less likely to be misunderstood by understanding body language. B. They may turn away or raise their shoulders. C. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. D. Sometimes we can communicate things even without a single word. E. Body language is also important in our personal lives. Passage 7（2023-24·深圳福田区期中） A survey shows that the number of lonely adults is increasing. According to recent research, loneliness can have harmful effects on health. So if you feel lonely at times, be sure to care about it. Here are some tips for you to avoid being lonely. Make time to meet people Maybe it seems that you don’t have time to meet new friends, but you need to consider your social life first. 26 You can even offer to take a neighbor’s dog for a walk. The neighbor will surely like to make friends with you. Build your community online Without doubt, it’s difficult for you to move to meet like-minded people. However, the Internet can easily bring people with the same interests together. 27 Try some safe meetup websites, which list local groups and events, bringing people with common interests together. Know more about your friends In order to find possible friends, try to know more about them. What do they like doing? Join one of their activities. What subject (话题) are they interested in? 28 In this way, you can know each other much better. Work as volunteers Volunteering is good for both body and mind. It gives you the chance to communicate with people. Helping at the local food store or in a charity (慈善) shop will give you a warm feeling and you’ll get to know other volunteers. 29 Plan ahead 30 Rather than just suggesting meeting together, carry it out with an exact date and a careful plan. If you plan to meet more people, making a survey about the plan ahead of time will make the meeting more successful. A. Find out more about it and discuss it with them. B. So it is easy to build an online friend community. C. There are so many ways you can talk face to face now. D. Everyone’s busy, so getting people together needs a good plan. E.

If you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close. 2. 51 Ideally, you should look down at the computer screen at about a 15 to 20 degree angle. This ensures that more of your eyeball is covered by your eyelid, keeping your eyes moisturized and healthy. 3.Blink often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer 52 . 4.Take regular breaks. 53 . The American Optometric Association recommends that for every two hours of looking at the computer screen, you should take a 15 minute break. During this time you should blink, close your eyes, and allow them to rest. This isn’t only good advice to protect your eyes, but your health in general. A. To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test. B. Sitting for long periods of time can be bad for your back, joints and weight. C. But it can cause symptoms(症状) like dry, watery eyes, light headache, and neck or shoulder pain. D. Your body won’t blink as much naturally, you’ll have to force yourself to blink. E. So you don’t have to worry about it. F. Locate the computer screen 4 or 5 inches below your eye level. Passage 10（2024-25·期中模拟考） Imagine this: you sit down and begin to eat a tasty tomato when, suddenly, it starts to scream (尖叫)! This thing will never really happen. ___26___ Researchers did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. ___27___: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the third group was untouched. It turned out that the first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times per hour at a frequency (频率) of 40 to 80 kilohertz, while the untouched group only made the sound once per hour. When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet. ___28___, but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles (气泡) in the plants. This means the noise produced by the plants is not intentional (故意的) or a form of active communication. There is no evidence (证据) that plants can intentionally communicate. ___29___. For example, the sound can tell a moth (蛾子) that the plant is under stress and not suitable to lay eggs on. An animal that wants to eat a plant could also use the sounds to make decisions, according to Science Focus. After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat (小麦) and corn, and found that they also made more sounds when stressed. ___30___, as they can better take care of the crops (庄稼) by “hearing” how plants feel. A Three groups of plants were listened to B. The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made C. Researchers said the study can benefit farmers in the future D.

If you want to improve your reading in English, the following are just for you! Choose right reading materials (材料). There are so many choices! There are textbooks and graded readers, but there are also a lot more books you can read. ____2____ Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least 80% of the content (内容). Be intentional (意图明确的). Being intentional means doing something on purpose with a reason in mind. With reading, you need to be intentional by setting a reading aim. Decide on a certain number of pages you want to read each day. ____3____ To make sure your daily practice gets done, spare some time and put it in your study plan! ____4____ Reading can both introduce you to new vocabulary (词汇) and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a consistent (相互连贯的) way. Reading groups of words, or words that go together, will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary. Don’t try to understand everything. As you’re practicing your reading you need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that’s OK! Your brain can’t learn so many new things at one time. It’s more important to get the big picture of what you are reading. ___5____ A. Read word groups. B. Don’t choose a book that is too easy or too difficult. C. You could also be intentional with planning a time to read. D. But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. E.

A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ____26____ It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially (潜在地) reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction times straight away. ____27____ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ____28____ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ____29____ In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish (区别) between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ____30____ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. B. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. C. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. D. The reason is that urban environments are more distracting. E. The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. F.

Then say it to yourself. 27 Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don’t know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read—you have the word! Use context If this doesn’t work, take the next step: look at the context—the other words and sentences around it. Read this sentence: When it rained, the dog looked for shelter in the doorway. 28 Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information. 29 If the context doesn’t help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know? These can help you understand what it means. If you don’t know the meaning of miner, try looking at parts of the word. For example, -er at the end of a word means “a person who does something”. So a miner might be someone who works in a mine. Look it up If the three steps above don’t work, you can look it up. 30 —either a book or online. Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don’t know. A. Use word parts. B. Throw away the words. C. It might sound like a word you know. D. You can find the word in a dictionary. E. Following some easy steps can help you. F. If the word shelter doesn’t look familiar, look at the words around it. 【答案】26. E 27. C 28. F 29. A 30.

In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. 41 Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it? The answer is, “Yes”! As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” 42 For example, shrug our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true and inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. 43 Because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. 44 It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are delivered through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. 45 We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. A. We are less likely to be misunderstood by understanding body language. B. They may turn away or raise their shoulders. C. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. D. Sometimes we can communicate things even without a single word. E. Body language is also important in our personal lives. 【答案】41. C 42. D 43. B 44. E 45.

Eye strain typically isn’t harmful. 49 . Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to protect your eyes, so computer use is less likely to bother them. Here are some useful tips: 1.Sit far enough away from the screen. This is usually considered at least an arm’s length away from the screen. 50 . If you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you’re sitting too close. 2. 51 Ideally, you should look down at the computer screen at about a 15 to 20 degree angle. This ensures that more of your eyeball is covered by your eyelid, keeping your eyes moisturized and healthy. 3.Blink often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when focusing on a screen this can drop by as much as half. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer 52 . 4.Take regular breaks. 53 . The American Optometric Association recommends that for every two hours of looking at the computer screen, you should take a 15 minute break. During this time you should blink, close your eyes, and allow them to rest. This isn’t only good advice to protect your eyes, but your health in general. A. To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test. B. Sitting for long periods of time can be bad for your back, joints and weight. C. But it can cause symptoms(症状) like dry, watery eyes, light headache, and neck or shoulder pain. D. Your body won’t blink as much naturally, you’ll have to force yourself to blink. E. So you don’t have to worry about it. F. Locate the computer screen 4 or 5 inches below your eye level. 【答案】49. C 50. A 51. F 52. D 53.

This thing will never really happen. ___26___ Researchers did the study. They used ultrasonic microphones (超声波麦克风) to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. ___27___: one group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems (茎) cut off and the third group was untouched. It turned out that the first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times per hour at a frequency (频率) of 40 to 80 kilohertz, while the untouched group only made the sound once per hour. When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet. ___28___, but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles (气泡) in the plants. This means the noise produced by the plants is not intentional (故意的) or a form of active communication. There is no evidence (证据) that plants can intentionally communicate. ___29___. For example, the sound can tell a moth (蛾子) that the plant is under stress and not suitable to lay eggs on. An animal that wants to eat a plant could also use the sounds to make decisions, according to Science Focus. After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat (小麦) and corn, and found that they also made more sounds when stressed. ___30___, as they can better take care of the crops (庄稼) by “hearing” how plants feel. A Three groups of plants were listened to B. The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made C. Researchers said the study can benefit farmers in the future D. But animals and insects may be “listening in” to benefit from the sound E. But a new study showed that plants can make sounds when they are stressed 【答案】26. E 27. A 28. B 29. D 30. C 【解析】本文介绍了一个研究，研究表明，植物在受到压力时会发出声音，这项研究有助于农民更好地照顾作物。 26.根据“This thing will never really happen.”以及“Researchers did the study.

A small psychology study suggests urban environments can slow your step and possibly increase your mental load. ____26____ It can ease your mind and quicken your pace. The findings show that natural settings may potentially (潜在地) reduce cognitive (认知的) tiredness and improve reaction times straight away. ____27____ The first of the two experiments in the new study focused on people’s way of walking and cognitive load. During this trial, participants were fitted with sensors and a dozen motion control cameras were set up to watch them repeatedly walk down a 15-metre room at their natural speed. The wall opposite them showed an image of either a nature scene or a city scene. ____28____ On the whole, when walking in city settings, people reported that they felt more uncomfortable and they walked at a slower pace, indicating a higher cognitive load. ____29____ In the trial, participants were asked to distinguish (区别) between basic visual shapes on the computer while also in the presence of a natural or urban image (the same ones from the first experiment). Measuring reaction times in both natural and urban settings, the team found results to support their idea. In urban environments, participants were slower in distinguishing between simple shapes. ____30____ Our brains take longer to process. However, more research is needed to prove that idea. A. A walk through nature does the opposite, though. B. They said they couldn’t concentrate properly after walking. C. After each, participants were asked to rate their discomfort. D. The reason is that urban environments are more distracting. E. The second dug into some higher-level cognitive processes. F. The study includes two experiments with two different approaches. 【答案】26.
