专题03：阅读理解七选五（考题猜想） 题组01：经典基础题 Passage 01 （23-24高一下·陕西西安·期中）How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation? Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it. Here are some tips to help you appear outgoing in a conversation. Make eye contact. If you’re in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people there. Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile 16 If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way. Part of being outgoing is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself. Ask some open-ended questions. 17 It’s easier to start up a chat with someone new if you invite them to share about themselves. If you’ve already exchanged eye contact and smiles with someone, and you’re close by, start off with a question. Here are some ideas: How do you like that book or magazine? What is your favorite thing to do around here? 18 You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them. To become outgoing, it is important to start acknowledging the people around you more often. The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say “thank you”. This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others. 19 Talk to everyone. After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day. 20 But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become. A．These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”. B．If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them. C．Remember that they serve hundreds of people a day. D．Say thank you in public as much as possible. E．It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter. F．Keep in mind that this approach doesn’t always work well in some situations. G．At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．D 19．E 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助你在谈话中显得外向的四种方法。 16．上文“Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile.(一旦你们建立了眼神交流，给对方一个友好的微笑。)”提到了给对方一个友好的微笑，B项中的smiles back是关键词，与上文的a friendly smile呼应，同时与下文“If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way.(如果这个人没有回应或者不希望被接近，就让他们走自己的路吧。)”构成对比关系，所以B选项“If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them.(如果那个人回你一个微笑，那就走过去。)”符合语境。故选B。 17．上文“Ask some open-ended questions.(问一些开放式的问题。)”提到了问问题，A项中questions是关键词，与上文呼应，进一步阐述开放式问题，所以A选项“These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”.(这些问题要求别人的回答不仅仅是‘是’或‘不是’)。”符合语境。故选A。 18．下文“You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them.(你可能每天都见到同样的一些人，但从不向他们致意。)”和“The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say ‘thank you’.(下次你点咖啡或在杂货店结账时，微笑着对帮助你的人说‘谢谢’。)”提到了向周边的人致意和表达感谢，D项中thank you是关键词，与下文的acknowledge和thank you呼应，所以D选项“Say thank you in public as much as possible.(尽可能在公共场合说谢谢。)”能概括下文内容，符合语境。故选D。 19．上文“This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others.(这个小小的举动将帮助你在与他人交往时变得更加自如。)”提到了向身边的人表达感谢的益处，E项中It是关键词，指代上文的This small act，所以E选项“It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter.（这可能会让对方的一天变得更美好。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 20．上文“After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day.(当你和你认识的人交谈变得更加自如之后，在你的一天中试着和新的人交谈。)”提到了尝试去和新人交谈，空处和下文“But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.(但是，你接触的人越多，越能自如地交谈，就会变得越容易。)”是转折关系，故空处是说一开始和陌生人交谈不太自如的情况，G项中strangers是关键词，与上文new people呼应，所以G选项“At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers.(一开始，你可能会觉得和陌生人说话不舒服。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 02 （23-24高一下·湖南长沙·期中）Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative. But with the right inspiration and approach, you can also write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends. ◆Pick a specific theme or idea. The first step in any poetry creation is coming up with something to write about. You can start your poem by focusing on a specific theme or idea that you find fascinating. 16 ◆Choose a poetic form. Get your creative juices flowing by picking a form for your poem. There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet (押韵的对句). 17 Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive to your reader. ◆Use concrete imagery. 18 You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Using concrete imagery will immerse (使沉浸在) your reader in the world of your poem and make images come alive for them. ◆ 19 Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. Using these devices can make your poem stand out to your readers. Try to use literary devices throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing. ◆Read the poem out loud. Once you have completed a draft of the poem, you should read it aloud to yourself. 20 Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward or jumbled. A．Use literary devices. B．Notice how the words sound to the ear. C．This can give your creation a clear goal. D．You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use. E．If you want to write poetry, start by reading poetry. F．Avoid abstract imagery and go for concrete descriptions in your poem. G．You can also share your poem with other poets to get feedback from them. 【答案】16．C 17．D 18．F 19．A 20．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了写诗的几个方法。 16．上文“You can start your poem by focusing on a specific theme or idea that you find fascinating.(你可以以一个你觉得很吸引人的主题或想法开始你的诗歌)”提到以选定一个主题或者想法开始，C选项“这可以给你的诗一个明确的目标”说明了上文做法的好处，符合语境，故选C。 17．上文“There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet (押韵的对句).(你可以使用许多不同的诗歌形式，从自由诗到十四行诗再到押韵的对句)”提到几种诗歌形式，根据后文“Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive to your reader.(选择一种诗的形式，并坚持这种结构，这样你的诗就能让读者觉得有凝聚力)”可知，空处是在对诗歌形式的选择进行建议，D选项“你可以选择一种你觉得容易使用的诗歌形式”承上启下，D项中“a poetic form”对应后文中“one poetic form”。故选D。 18．根据本段主题句“Use concrete imagery.(使用具体的形象)”以及空后“You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound.(你应该试着用五种感官来描述事物：嗅觉、味觉、触觉、视觉和听觉)”可知，本段是建议使用具体的形象，F项“避免抽象的意象，在你的诗中使用具体的描述”符合语境，故选F。 19．根据本段内容“Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. Using these devices can make your poem stand out to your readers. Try to use literary devices throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing.(像隐喻和明喻这样的文学手法为你的诗歌增添了多样性和深度。使用这些工具可以让你的诗在读者面前脱颖而出。试着在你的诗歌中使用各种文学手法，这样你就不会在写作中只使用隐喻或明喻)”可知，本段建议使用文学手法，A项“使用文学手法”符合语境，故选A。 20．上文“Once you have completed a draft of the poem, you should read it aloud to yourself.(一旦你完成了这首诗的草稿，你应该大声朗读给自己听)”提到大声朗读给自己听，结合后文“Pay attention to how each line of your poem flows into the next. Keep a pen close by so you can mark any lines or words that sound awkward or jumbled.(注意你的每一行诗是如何衔接到下一行的。在手边放一支笔，这样你就可以标记任何听起来别扭或混乱的一行或单词)”可知， B选项“注意这些单词听起来是怎样的”符合语境，和下文并列，都是描述如何听，故选B。 Passage 03 （23-24高一下·福建莆田·期中）As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 16 This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn. To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 17 As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 18 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable. 19 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 20 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life. A．Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating. B．It extends learning far beyond textbooks. C．Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it. D．Mind the impact of your actions on the environment. E．Take your experiences further by reflecting on them. F．Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles. G．These activities bring learning to life. 【答案】16．A 17．G 18．C 19．E 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“体验式欣赏”这种学习方法。 16．根据上文“As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks.(作为一名高中生，你可能习惯了通过阅读教科书来学习。)”以及下文“This lies at the heart of ‘experiential(由经验得来的) appreciation’, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.(这是‘体验式欣赏’的核心，这种哲学鼓励你直接与周围的世界接触。)可知，此处承上启下，引出下文“体验式欣赏”，应讲述有其他的学习方法，A项“现在考虑把你的学习从单纯的阅读扩展到积极参与。”符合语境。故选A。 17．根据上文“So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event.(所以，试着加入一个运动队，拿起画笔，或者参加当地的慈善活动。) ”可知，此处应进一步谈论这些活动的作用，G项“这些活动将学习带入生活。”符合语境。故选G。 18．根据上文“When you’re in nature, don’t just look around.(当你在大自然中时，不要只是环顾四周。)”和下文“Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.(触摸树叶，感受风，倾听鸟儿，可以丰富你的学习，让每一刻都更难忘。)”可知，此处与前文形成转折，衔接下文，谈论在大自然应该做激活自己的感官，C项“相反，激活你的感官，与它建立更牢固的联系。”符合语境。故选C。 19．根据下文“After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.(尝试新事物后，问问自己你学到了什么，以及它给你带来了什么感觉。写日记或与朋友讨论。这种自我发现将体验融入生活课程，并加深了对世界的理解。)”可知，此处在谈论反思，E项“通过反思你的经历，让你的经历更进一步。”符合语境。故选E。 20．根据上文“Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured.(体验式欣赏将学习从一个需要完成的任务转变为一个需要珍惜的旅程。)”可知，此处在谈论体验式欣赏对学习的好处，B项“它将学习扩展到远远超出教科书的范围。)”符合语境，It指代前面的Experiential appreciation。故选B。 Passage 04 （23-24高一下·北京·期中）People Who Can’t Count A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent. So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. 16 For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them. 17 They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers. There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. 18 If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations. 19 This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday. On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. 20 A．Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all. B．This disability scares children away from learning mathematics. C．They would ask for a phone number again and again before writing it down. D．They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects. E．They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip. F．We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence. G．This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened. 【答案】16．D 17．A 18．G 19．E 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对计算障碍患者的特征进行了介绍，并表明这只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的普遍表现。 16．根据后文“For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are.(例如，他们需要数一数桌子上的书，然后才能说出有多少本书。)”可知，此处是指即使数量很少他们也必须数过才知道，D选项“They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.(他们必须经过一个例行程序，即使是数一小部分的物体。)”说明他们连一点东西都要数一下，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 17．根据后文“They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five.(例如，他们不能理解为什么二加三等于五。)”可知，此处是指计算障碍患者在计算方面有困难，所以选项A“Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.(计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难。)”说明了计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选A。 18．根据前文“There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics.(对于非计算学来说，抽象的时间概念也存在问题。)”可知，空格处应该说时间观念存在问题会导致什么问题，G选项“This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.(这可以解释他们在阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序方面的困难。)”说明了在时间观念存在问题会导致他们在阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序方面的困难，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 19．前文“In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.(此外，研究表明，计算障碍患者在社交场合的行为很奇怪。)”，空格处应该说具体的奇怪的行为，E选项“They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip.(他们永远不知道应该给服务员多少小费，或者他们购物后还剩下多少钱。)”是在社交场合的奇怪的行为，且后文“This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.(这种糟糕的能力可以解释为什么他们从不知道他们应该找多少零钱，也不知道他们的假期需要什么样的预算。)”也是和算钱有关的内容，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 20．根据前文“On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. (另一方面，非计算型的人很擅长创造性艺术。患有计算障碍的人可以成为画家或诗人。计算障碍似乎不会延迟语言习得。)”可知，计算障碍并不意味着智力低下。所以选项F“We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.(我们可以看到，计算障碍只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的一般表现。)”说明了计算障碍不是智力的一般表现，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 Passage 05 （23-24高一下·江苏淮安·期中）Tips for Learning New Technology We live in a very exciting time.

If yes, you are far from alone. 16 Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15. According to a University of Cambridge study, in ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when faced with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear. 17 They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject. Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety are not necessarily to be bad at math. 18 They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement. 19 If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly. In addition, a little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. 20 A．Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. B．Students with math anxiety are not cognitively disadvantaged. C．If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math.

But what if you are not in control of such things — a teenager? Worse — your parents have more important things to worry about than silly old global warming. 16 You might think as a teen, you can’t do much to help, but you are completely wrong… Look at every item you use. 17 That item (物品) was made with resources, had some cost to the environment in production. After using it, it will have to be dealt with. 18 For example, buy recyclable pens that could be filled with ink rather than pens that get thrown away after being used. If you have papers, bottles or whatever, don’t throw them away. Instead, send them to the recycling company in your district. Talk about pollution and global warming to your parents if you are truly interested in it. Don’t push them to be greener and annoy them; they wouldn’t mind a few suggestions every now and again. 19 They might drive a huge SUV, live in mansion (府邸), or simply waste things. Try to explain to your younger cousins what is happening in the world to them, as simply as possible. Allow them to make up their own mind but you might find they will be more open to it than your parents. Haven’t got any ideas for your birthday presents? 20 Energy efficient light bulbs for your lamps, recycled notebooks/stationary, sponsoring a green charity in your name, solar powered chargers. There are lots of things you can buy that will be useful and enjoyable. Plus there will be an added warm feelings on your birthday. A．Suggest a green theme. B．You don’t use so much energy. C．Use dark colored themes for your computer. D．However, there are still some things you can do. E．Some adults spent too much on living. F．Try buying things that could be recycled. G．Purchase (购买) is having a “cost” to the environment. 【答案】16．D 17．G 18．F 19．E 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为青少年介绍了如何更环保的一些具体做法。 16．前文“But what if you are not in control of such things—a teenager? Worse—your parents have more important things to worry about than silly old global warming. (但是，如果你是一个青少年，无法控制这些事情呢？更糟糕的是，你的父母有比愚蠢的全球变暖更重要的事情要担心)”提到青少年可能因为没有控制权，以及父母需要担心其他事而无法践行绿色环保行为的情况，后文“You might think as a teen, you can’t do much to help, but you are completely wrong… (你可能认为作为一个青少年，你帮不上什么忙，但你完全错了……)”指出青少年可以帮上忙，因此D项“However, there are still some things you can do. (然而，你仍然可以做一些事情)”符合语境，指出青少年可以做环保的事情，和前文构成转折，引出后文。故选D。 17．前文“Look at every item you use. (看看你使用的每一件物品)”建议审视使用的物品，后文“That item (物品) was made with resources, had some cost to the environment in production. After using it, it will have to be dealt with. (那件物品是用资源制造的，在生产过程中对环境有一定的代价。使用后，必须处理)”具体介绍物品从生产到使用后都需要消耗资源，因此G项“Purchase (购买) is having a “cost” to the environment. (购买对环境是有“成本”的)”符合语境，指出购买物品会消耗资源，对环境有害，承上启下，其中的cost在后文有同词复现。故选G。 18．设空处为主题句；根据后文“For example, buy recyclable pens that could be filled with ink rather than pens that get thrown away after being used. If you have papers, bottles or whatever, don’t throw them away. Instead, send them to the recycling company in your district. (例如，买可以装满墨水的可回收笔，而不是那些用完就扔掉的笔。如果你有纸、瓶子或任何东西，不要扔掉它们。相反，把它们送到你所在地区的回收公司)”可知，本段主要建议购买可以回收的物品，做好回收工作，空处位于段首，应引出后文，与回收相关，因此F项“Try buying things that could be recycled.

These buildings are called soft-story buildings. These floors cannot deal with the destructive forces caused by an earthquake. 16 This will cause what is known as the “soft-story collapse (倒塌)”. Soft-story buildings are characterized by having a story that has a lot of open space. 17 Hotels and office buildings can also have soft stories. Large retail space (零售空间) or floors with a lot of windows are common in such buildings. If a building has a floor that is 70% less firm than the floor above it, it is considered a soft-story building. This soft story creates a major weak point in an earthquake. Soft stories are classically associated with retail space and parking garages. 18 When they collapse, they can make the whole building fall with them, sometimes making the structure unusable. 19 When builders apply for a permit to build a new structure, engineers may analyze the plans to ensure that no soft stories are built in. If the building department decides that the building will be structurally unsound in a quake, recommendations for improving the design may be included in the rejection (拒绝) letter. Older buildings are of great concern to building departments and emergency services in areas where earthquakes are common. 20 Such projects may be relatively inexpensive, especially when compared with the cost of replacing a soft-story building after it collapses. A．As a result, the soft story may fall. B．A building with a soft story is similar. C．A collapsing building is very dangerous. D．So they are often on the lower stories of a building. E．Parking garages, for example, are often soft stories. F．These buildings are often in need of improvement to make them safer. G．Many areas in an earthquake zone have exact building rules about soft-story buildings. 【答案】16．A 17．E 18．D 19．G 20．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了软层建筑的概念及其在地震中的脆弱性。软层建筑是指那些在某一层或多层楼板结构强度远低于其他楼层的多层建筑。这种建筑在地震中容易发生软层倒塌，造成严重的后果。文章提到了软层建筑的特点，常见于零售空间和停车场等有大量开放空间的楼层，并讨论了软层建筑在地震区的建筑规范和改善措施。 16．根据上文“These floors cannot deal with the destructive forces caused by an earthquake(这些楼层无法应对地震造成的破坏力)”可知，接下来会说明这种情况导致的结果，A选项“As a result, the soft story may fall.(结果，软楼层可能会倒塌)”符合语境，故选A项。 17．上文“Soft-story buildings are characterized by having a story that has a lot of open space.(软楼层建筑的特点是有一层有很多开放空间)”提到软楼层建筑的特点是有一层有很多开放空间，结合下文“Hotels and office buildings can also have soft stories.(酒店和办公楼也可能有软楼层)”可知，空处和下文并列，都举例说明设置软楼层的场所，E选项“Parking garages, for example, are often soft stories.(例如，停车场通常是软楼层)”符合语境，故选E项。 18．根据上文“Soft stories are classically associated with retail space and parking garages.(软楼层通常与零售空间和停车场有关)”和下文“When they collapse, they can make the whole building fall with them, sometimes making the structure unusable.(当它们倒塌时，它们可以使整个建筑物随之倒塌，有时使结构无法使用)”可知，软楼层通常与零售空间和停车场有关，倒塌时会导致整个大楼随之倒塌，说明软楼层位于较低的楼层，D选项“So they are often on the lower stories of a building.(所以它们通常在建筑物的较低楼层)”，符合逻辑，故选D项。 19．根据下文“When builders apply for a permit to build a new structure, engineers may analyze the plans to ensure that no soft stories are built in(当建筑商申请建造新建筑的许可证时，工程师可能会分析计划，以确保没有建造软楼层)”可知，此处引出了关于软楼层建筑的规则，G选项“Many areas in an earthquake zone have exact building rules about soft-story buildings.(地震区的许多地区都有关于软楼层建筑的确切建筑规则。)”符合语境，故选G项。 20．根据上文“Older buildings are of great concern to building departments and emergency services in areas where earthquakes are common(在地震频繁的地区，老建筑是建筑部门和应急服务部门非常关注的问题)”可知此处提到了老建筑需要改进的情况，F选项“These buildings are often in need of improvement to make them safer.(这些建筑往往需要改进以使其更安全)”，符合语境，故选F项。 Passage 09 （23-24高一下·陕西渭南·期中）No matter where you go around the globe, everybody loves to celebrate.

But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners — to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. 1 . ●Listen to the outer voice There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. 2 , while the outer voice tells you about views from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. 3 If you find your inner voice difficult to control, you can argue with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker/ writer is wrong, think about why the speaker / writer may be right. Be flexible in your opinions and you might end up agreeing with the speaker/ writer after all. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view. ●Ask questions Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. 4 .

However, one powerful tool that we can use to overcome these challenges is encouragement. Encouragement can make a significant difference in someone’s life. 16 Encouragement can come in many forms, such as words of affirmation (肯定), acts of kindness, or simply showing support. In today’s society, where negativity is common, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way. One of the most significant benefits of encouragement is that it builds strong relationships. Encouragement creates a positive environment where people feel valued and appreciated. When we encourage others, we are showing them that we believe in them and that we care about their well-being. 17 Another benefit of encouragement is that it creates a chain reaction. 18 This chain reaction can spread throughout a community, workplace, or family. By building each other up, we create a supportive and empowering environment. 19 The first step is to be intentional about our words and actions. We can start by offering genuine words, expressing thanks, or simply listening attentively. We can also seek out opportunities to encourage others, whether it’s through volunteering or offering support during tough times. By taking small but consistent actions, we can make a significant impact on the lives of other people. In conclusion, the power of encouragement cannot be overstated. It has the potential to transform lives, build strong relationships, and create a ripple effect of positivity. By being intentional about our words and actions, we can use encouragement to build others up and create a better world. 20 A．Encouragement can change our moods.

Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person. 16 People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity (人类) with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably connected with environmental damage. 17 The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. 18 Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings (企业) . In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable (不可避免的). 19 Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. 20 This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with. A good balance between economic development and sustainability is forever what humankind has to keep in mind A．There are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. B．Clean energy has always been on the priority list for a better environment. C．For these reasons, bringing about economic growth without any resulting environmental damage is impossible.

Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure.(风能的应用会阻碍气流的自然速度。因此，这股洋流带来的压力平衡将受到影响，重要的是要记住，环境和天气状况直接受到大气压力的影响。)”可知，后文也进一步说明了这种影响，如风能应用会阻挡气流的自然速度，影响气压平衡，进而影响环境和天气条件。G项：This is expensive and, has harmful effects on the environment.(这是昂贵的，对环境有有害的影响。)说明改造的负面影响，符合语境。故选G。 20．根据上文“Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed.

Educators are particularly concerned about students turning to AI tools like ChatGPT with their homework. One suggested solution is to make students write exam essays using pen and paper. 16 To stay competitive through their careers, students need to learn how to use AI writing tools properly to gain output. 17 As professionals working into the 2060s and beyond, they will need to learn how to deal with AI systems effectively. In addition to the sound reasons for treating ChatGPT as an opportunity and not a threat, there are practical ones. It simply isn’t possible to effectively ban this technology. Many students can’t help using AI assistance while writing. 18 While there are tools aimed at judging text produced by AI, future versions of AI will get better at emulating (模仿) human writing-including the style of the particular person who is using it. 19 Some students, who use ChatGPT despite the ban, would avoid being found cheating in their writing, through luck or thanks to careful editing. Worse still, some students would be falsely charged with using ChatGPT, causing great stress and even leading to wrong punishment. Writing is a skill worthy of great respect. But most students don’t have the desire to become professional writers. Instead, they are preparing for careers where they will write to further goals beyond the production of writing. As we do today, they will write to communicate, explain, request and persuade. 20 A．The ban of ChatGPT would also produce the injustice. B．There is argument that the use of ChatGPT is good for education. C．AI writing tools, when properly used, will help them do those things better. D．Learning to write without AI does indeed promote focused, disciplined thinking. E．But that’s wrong to ban students from using labor-saving and time-saving AI writing tools. F．Besides, the AI writing tools will always be one step ahead of the tools to discover AI text. G．They need to learn to compose well-organized essays using AI-produced text and traditional writing. 【答案】16．E 17．G 18．F 19．A 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章认为不应该禁止学生使用人工智能写作工具，学生们需要学习如何使用它们来满足自身的需求，而且人工智能写作工具总是比针对它的工具领先一步，禁止使用并不实际，也可能带来不公正的问题，应当恰当使用它们让其为我们的目标服务。 16．根据前文“One suggested solution is to make students write exam essays using pen and paper.（一个建议的解决方案是让学生用笔和纸写考试论文。）”和后文“To stay competitive through their careers, students need to learn how to use AI writing tools properly to gain output.（为了在职业生涯中保持竞争力，学生们需要学习如何正确使用人工智能写作工具来获得产出。）”可知，文章认为不应该禁止学生使用人工智能工具，空处需和前文形成语义的转折，呼应后文。E项“但禁止学生使用省力省时的人工智能写作工具是错误的。”符合语境。故选E。 17．根据前文“To stay competitive through their careers, students need to learn how to use AI writing tools properly to gain output.（为了在职业生涯中保持竞争力，学生们需要学习如何正确使用人工智能写作工具来获得产出。）”和后文“As professionals working into the 2060s and beyond, they will need to learn how to deal with AI systems effectively.（作为工作到21世纪60年代及以后的专业人士，他们将需要学习如何有效地应对人工智能系统。）”可知，本段讨论学习使用人工智能写作工具，空处会具体说明学习的内容。G项“他们需要学习使用人工智能生成的文本和传统写作来撰写条理清晰的文章。”符合语境，其中的“need to”和前后文呼应。故选G。 18．根据后文“While there are tools aimed at judging text produced by AI, future versions of AI will get better at emulating (模仿) human writing-including the style of the particular person who is using it.（虽然有一些工具旨在判断人工智能生成的文本，但未来版本的人工智能将在模仿人类写作方面做得更好——包括使用特定人员的风格。）”可知，后文谈到人工智能写作工具在针对它的工具面前拥有的优势，空处会提到针对性的工具。F项“此外，人工智能写作工具将永远比发现人工智能文本的工具领先一步。”符合语境。故选F。 19．根据后文“Some students, who use ChatGPT despite the ban, would avoid being found cheating in their writing, through luck or thanks to careful editing. Worse still, some students would be falsely charged with using ChatGPT, causing great stress and even leading to wrong punishment.（一些不顾禁令使用ChatGPT的学生可以避免在写作中被发现作弊，这要么是运气好，要么是多亏了精心编辑。更糟糕的是，一些学生会被错误地指控使用ChatGPT，造成很大的压力，甚至导致错误的惩罚。）”可知，本段讨论禁止使用ChatGPT可能会引起的不公正的问题，空处作为段首句需简要说明这一点。A项“禁止ChatGPT也会产生不公正。”符合语境，可概括后文内容。故选A。 20．根据前文“Instead, they are preparing for careers where they will write to further goals beyond the production of writing. As we do today, they will write to communicate, explain, request and persuade.（相反，他们是在为职业生涯做准备，在那里他们写的目的是推动目标，而非生产写作。就像我们今天所做的那样，他们会写信来沟通、解释、请求和说服。）”可知，本段讨论对于多数人来说写作的目的是为其他目标服务，空处会结合这一点对人工智能工具的使用进行总结。C项“如果使用得当，人工智能写作工具将帮助他们更好地完成这些事情。”符合语境。故选C。 Passage 22 （22-23高一下·江苏连云港·期中）Smarter ways to learn from failure Many of us were told from an early age that, at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes.” 16    The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. 17 So we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjastad, a professor of psychology and leadership at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want to think of ourselves as capable”, he says, “so when we fail, it causes a serious threat to our self-image”. Fortunately, there is a research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. 18 Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively. A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. 19 The group of adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to connect with their experience and what they have learned”. 20 But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to find. A．It doesn’t feel good. B．But is this actually true? C．Here are some reasons why we think so. D．But how to overcome them is a question. E．One of them is to adopt a third-person view. F．The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again, fail better.” G．It led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．E 19．G 20．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了从错误中学习是非常困难的，因为我们不喜欢失败，说明了一些应对失败带来的情感障碍的策略。 16．根据上文“Many of us were told from an early age that, at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes.”(我们中的许多人从小就被告知，无论是在学校还是在生活中，“你都要从错误中学习。”)”以及下文“The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment.(简短的回答是“是的”——失败可以是一个受教育的时刻)”可知，本句主要就上文提出的观点进行了提问，后文给出回答。故B选项“但这是真的吗？”符合语境，故选B。 17．根据上文“But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail.(但实际上，从错误中学习是非常困难的，因为我们不喜欢失败)”以及后文“So we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself.(所以我们对失败的反应是情绪化的，比如轻易放弃一项任务，告诉自己我们不在乎是否成功，或者对任务本身吹毛求疵)”可知，上文提到我们不喜欢失败，说明失败让人感觉不好。故A选项“感觉不太好”符合语境，故选A。 18．根据上文“Fortunately, there is a research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure.(幸运的是，有一项研究表明，有一些策略可以帮助我们克服失败带来的情感障碍)”以及后文“Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively.(密歇根大学的心理学家伊森·克罗斯的多项研究表明，采用第三人称视角有助于缓和我们的负面情绪反应，让我们更客观地看待失败)”可知，本句继续说明克服失败带来的情感障碍的策略：采用第三人称视角。故E选项“其中之一是采用第三人称视角”符合语境，故选E。 19．根据上文“A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us.(第二种策略是向可能与我们处境相同的人提供建议)”以及后文“The group of adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to connect with their experience and what they have learned”.(这组成年人和孩子被要求根据自己的失败给出建议。埃斯克瑞斯-温克勒、菲什巴赫和达克沃斯教授发现，帮助他人的满足感“迫使人们把自己的经历和所学到的东西联系起来”)”可知，本句主要说明第二种策略在测试中的表现：导致了更高水平的动机和学业上的成功。故G选项“在测试组中，它导致了更高水平的动机和学业上的成功”符合语境，故选G。 20．根据后文“But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to find.(但现在看来，我们应该说:“再次失败，更聪明地失败”。失败是生活中不可避免的一部分，但通过学会克服围绕它的情感障碍，我们可能会发现通往成功的道路更容易找到)”可知，本句是在引用某人关于失败的言论，F选项中fail again, fail better对应后文fail again, fail smarter。故F选项“作家塞缪尔·贝克特曾经说过：‘再失败，失败得更好。’”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 23 （23-24高一下·陕西西安·期中）How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation? Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it. Here are some tips to help you appear outgoing in a conversation. Make eye contact. If you’re in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people there. Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile 16 If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way. Part of being outgoing is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself. Ask some open-ended questions. 17 It’s easier to start up a chat with someone new if you invite them to share about themselves. If you’ve already exchanged eye contact and smiles with someone, and you’re close by, start off with a question. Here are some ideas: How do you like that book or magazine? What is your favorite thing to do around here? 18 You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them. To become outgoing, it is important to start acknowledging the people around you more often. The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say “thank you”. This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others. 19 Talk to everyone. After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day. 20 But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become. A．These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”. B．If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them. C．Remember that they serve hundreds of people a day. D．Say thank you in public as much as possible. E．It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter. F．Keep in mind that this approach doesn’t always work well in some situations. G．At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．D 19．E 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助你在谈话中显得外向的四种方法。 16．上文“Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile.(一旦你们建立了眼神交流，给对方一个友好的微笑。)”提到了给对方一个友好的微笑，B项中的smiles back是关键词，与上文的a friendly smile呼应，同时与下文“If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way.(如果这个人没有回应或者不希望被接近，就让他们走自己的路吧。)”构成对比关系，所以B选项“If the person smiles back at you, then go over to them.(如果那个人回你一个微笑，那就走过去。)”符合语境。故选B。 17．上文“Ask some open-ended questions.(问一些开放式的问题。)”提到了问问题，A项中questions是关键词，与上文呼应，进一步阐述开放式问题，所以A选项“These questions invite others to respond with more than a “yes” or “no”.(这些问题要求别人的回答不仅仅是‘是’或‘不是’)。”符合语境。故选A。 18．下文“You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them.(你可能每天都见到同样的一些人，但从不向他们致意。)”和“The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say ‘thank you’.(下次你点咖啡或在杂货店结账时，微笑着对帮助你的人说‘谢谢’。)”提到了向周边的人致意和表达感谢，D项中thank you是关键词，与下文的acknowledge和thank you呼应，所以D选项“Say thank you in public as much as possible.(尽可能在公共场合说谢谢。)”能概括下文内容，符合语境。故选D。 19．上文“This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others.(这个小小的举动将帮助你在与他人交往时变得更加自如。)”提到了向身边的人表达感谢的益处，E项中It是关键词，指代上文的This small act，所以E选项“It will probably make the other person’s day a little brighter.（这可能会让对方的一天变得更美好。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 20．上文“After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day.(当你和你认识的人交谈变得更加自如之后，在你的一天中试着和新的人交谈。)”提到了尝试去和新人交谈，空处和下文“But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.(但是，你接触的人越多，越能自如地交谈，就会变得越容易。)”是转折关系，故空处是说一开始和陌生人交谈不太自如的情况，G项中strangers是关键词，与上文new people呼应，所以G选项“At first, you might feel uncomfortable talking with strangers.(一开始，你可能会觉得和陌生人说话不舒服。)”承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 24 （23-24高一下·湖南长沙·期中）Writing poetry can seem frightening, especially if you do not feel you are naturally creative.

Passage 03 （23-24高一下·福建莆田·期中）As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 16 This lies at the heart of “experiential (由经验得来的) appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn. To practice experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a firsthand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 17 As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 18 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable. 19 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 20 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life. A．Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating. B．It extends learning far beyond textbooks. C．Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it. D．Mind the impact of your actions on the environment. E．Take your experiences further by reflecting on them. F．Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles. G．These activities bring learning to life. Passage 04 （23-24高一下·北京·期中）People Who Can’t Count A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent. So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. 16 For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them. 17 They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers. There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. 18 If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations. 19 This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday. On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. 20 A．Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all. B．This disability scares children away from learning mathematics. C．They would ask for a phone number again and again before writing it down. D．They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects. E．They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip. F．We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence. G．This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.

If yes, you are far from alone. 16 Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15. According to a University of Cambridge study, in ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when faced with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear. 17 They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject. Comfort comes from the fact that those with math anxiety are not necessarily to be bad at math. 18 They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement. 19 If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins.

Passage 07 （23-24高一下·河北邯郸·期中）How to Be Greener as a Teenager We are told to buy hybrid (混合动力) cars, change our electricity supplier (供应商), and insulate (隔热) the roof. But what if you are not in control of such things — a teenager? Worse — your parents have more important things to worry about than silly old global warming. 16 You might think as a teen, you can’t do much to help, but you are completely wrong… Look at every item you use. 17 That item (物品) was made with resources, had some cost to the environment in production. After using it, it will have to be dealt with. 18 For example, buy recyclable pens that could be filled with ink rather than pens that get thrown away after being used. If you have papers, bottles or whatever, don’t throw them away. Instead, send them to the recycling company in your district. Talk about pollution and global warming to your parents if you are truly interested in it. Don’t push them to be greener and annoy them; they wouldn’t mind a few suggestions every now and again. 19 They might drive a huge SUV, live in mansion (府邸), or simply waste things. Try to explain to your younger cousins what is happening in the world to them, as simply as possible. Allow them to make up their own mind but you might find they will be more open to it than your parents.

Passage 08 （23-24高一下·安徽蚌埠·期中）Some multi-story (多层) buildings are designed with a “soft” level that offers significantly less support than the levels above or below it. These buildings are called soft-story buildings. These floors cannot deal with the destructive forces caused by an earthquake. 16 This will cause what is known as the “soft-story collapse (倒塌)”. Soft-story buildings are characterized by having a story that has a lot of open space. 17 Hotels and office buildings can also have soft stories. Large retail space (零售空间) or floors with a lot of windows are common in such buildings. If a building has a floor that is 70% less firm than the floor above it, it is considered a soft-story building. This soft story creates a major weak point in an earthquake. Soft stories are classically associated with retail space and parking garages. 18 When they collapse, they can make the whole building fall with them, sometimes making the structure unusable. 19 When builders apply for a permit to build a new structure, engineers may analyze the plans to ensure that no soft stories are built in. If the building department decides that the building will be structurally unsound in a quake, recommendations for improving the design may be included in the rejection (拒绝) letter. Older buildings are of great concern to building departments and emergency services in areas where earthquakes are common. 20 Such projects may be relatively inexpensive, especially when compared with the cost of replacing a soft-story building after it collapses. A．As a result, the soft story may fall. B．A building with a soft story is similar. C．A collapsing building is very dangerous. D．So they are often on the lower stories of a building.

Instead, find a level of effort that leaves you feeling like you got in a good workout. 19 Work as much of your body as you can. The more parts of your body receive exercise, the more you’ll notice exercises’ positive effects on your weight, mood, stress levels, sleeping patterns, and overall sense of well-being. 20 But some options are better than others.

But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners — to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. 1 . ●Listen to the outer voice There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. 2 , while the outer voice tells you about views from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. 3 If you find your inner voice difficult to control, you can argue with it as most active learners do. When your inner voice tells you a speaker/ writer is wrong, think about why the speaker / writer may be right. Be flexible in your opinions and you might end up agreeing with the speaker/ writer after all. If not, at least you have “listened to” another point of view. ●Ask questions Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five questions about the topic. 4 . And the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious. ●Get to the truth Active learners do not accept everything they learn. 5 . Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be aspect of it is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this? If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you’ll increase your chance of learning something.

Encouragement creates a positive environment where people feel valued and appreciated. When we encourage others, we are showing them that we believe in them and that we care about their well-being. 17 Another benefit of encouragement is that it creates a chain reaction. 18 This chain reaction can spread throughout a community, workplace, or family. By building each other up, we create a supportive and empowering environment. 19 The first step is to be intentional about our words and actions. We can start by offering genuine words, expressing thanks, or simply listening attentively. We can also seek out opportunities to encourage others, whether it’s through volunteering or offering support during tough times. By taking small but consistent actions, we can make a significant impact on the lives of other people. In conclusion, the power of encouragement cannot be overstated.

Back then, and today, providing food was the basic task for a person. 16 People feel the need for not only some primary things, such as bread and shelters, but also for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity (人类) with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. In turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost inevitably connected with environmental damage. 17 The first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. These plants produce a lot of waste, which may cause negative long-term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. The traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. There also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. 18 Of course, during this time people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings (企业) . In order to produce practical energy, a transformation of the natural site is often inevitable (不可避免的). 19 Application of wind energy would block airflow’s natural speed. Consequently, the pressure balance that is brought about by this current will be affected, and it is important to remember that the environment and weather conditions are directly affected by atmospheric pressure. 20 This is the embarrassment mankind has to deal with.

Educators are particularly concerned about students turning to AI tools like ChatGPT with their homework. One suggested solution is to make students write exam essays using pen and paper. 16 To stay competitive through their careers, students need to learn how to use AI writing tools properly to gain output. 17 As professionals working into the 2060s and beyond, they will need to learn how to deal with AI systems effectively. In addition to the sound reasons for treating ChatGPT as an opportunity and not a threat, there are practical ones. It simply isn’t possible to effectively ban this technology. Many students can’t help using AI assistance while writing. 18 While there are tools aimed at judging text produced by AI, future versions of AI will get better at emulating (模仿) human writing-including the style of the particular person who is using it. 19 Some students, who use ChatGPT despite the ban, would avoid being found cheating in their writing, through luck or thanks to careful editing. Worse still, some students would be falsely charged with using ChatGPT, causing great stress and even leading to wrong punishment. Writing is a skill worthy of great respect. But most students don’t have the desire to become professional writers. Instead, they are preparing for careers where they will write to further goals beyond the production of writing. As we do today, they will write to communicate, explain, request and persuade. 20 A．The ban of ChatGPT would also produce the injustice.

Passage 22 （22-23高一下·江苏连云港·期中）Smarter ways to learn from failure Many of us were told from an early age that, at school or in life, “you learn from your mistakes.” 16    The short answer is “yes” — failure can be a teachable moment. But learning from our mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we don’t like to fail. 17 So we react to failure in emotional ways, like giving up on a task easily, telling ourselves we don’t care whether we succeed, or finding fault with the task itself. This is self-protective, according to Hallgeir Sjastad, a professor of psychology and leadership at the Norwegian School of Economics. “Most of us want to think of ourselves as capable”, he says, “so when we fail, it causes a serious threat to our self-image”. Fortunately, there is a research to suggest that there are some strategies to help us overcome the emotional barriers around failure. 18 Instead of asking “Why did I fail?”, we could ask “Why did Sam fail?”, for example. Multiple studies by psychologist Ethan Kross at the University of Michigan show that adopting a third-person perspective helps to soften our negative emotional reactions, allowing us to look at failure more objectively. A second strategy involves offering advice to others who may be in the same position as us. 19 The group of adults and children were asked to give advice based on their own failures. Professors Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach and Duckworth found that the satisfaction of helping others “forces people to connect with their experience and what they have learned”. 20 But it now seems that we should be saying: “fail again, fail smarter”. Failure is an unavoidable part of life, but by learning to overcome the emotional barriers around it, we may find the road to success is a little easier to find. A．It doesn’t feel good. B．But is this actually true? C．Here are some reasons why we think so. D．But how to overcome them is a question. E．One of them is to adopt a third-person view. F．The writer Samuel Beckett once said: “fail again, fail better.” G．It led to better levels of motivation and academic success in the test groups. Passage 23 （23-24高一下·陕西西安·期中）How to Appear Outgoing in a Conversation? Some people seem naturally outgoing when chatting with others, while others find it hard to make it. Here are some tips to help you appear outgoing in a conversation. Make eye contact. If you’re in a social situation, such as at a party, try to make eye contact with the other people there. Once you’ve established eye contact, give the other person a friendly smile 16 If the person does not respond or does not expect to be approached, let them go their way. Part of being outgoing is knowing when and where to approach others and when to keep to yourself. Ask some open-ended questions. 17 It’s easier to start up a chat with someone new if you invite them to share about themselves. If you’ve already exchanged eye contact and smiles with someone, and you’re close by, start off with a question. Here are some ideas: How do you like that book or magazine? What is your favorite thing to do around here? 18 You might see some of the same people every day, but never acknowledge (致意) them. To become outgoing, it is important to start acknowledging the people around you more often. The next time you order a coffee or check out at the grocery store, smile at the person helping you and say “thank you”. This small act will help you become more comfortable interacting with others. 19 Talk to everyone. After you become a bit more comfortable talking to people you know, try talking to new people as you go through your day. 20 But the more you approach people and get comfortable with making conversation, the easier it will become.
