(23-24高一下·黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市讷河市·期中)Developing a good personality is good for you. How can you achieve it? Here are some suggestions.
1 Most people see personality as the collection of spiritual and behavioral qualities that make you who you are. These are lasting along with you and you are easy to think, behave, and feel in certain ways. Although some of your personality is decided by your genetics (基因) and your early experiences, it is possible to change your beliefs and behaviors over time to a certain degree.
Keep happy and enjoyable. Try to see the joy in the world. Laugh with others, but not at them. 2 Smiling and laughing a lot is a large part of having a good personality.
Always stay calm in different situations. A lot of people seem like they have a good personality. However, when they are faced with a sudden or serious event, they may lose their head and panic. 3 If you are in a nervous situation, try to calm and relax yourself and think what you can do to deal with the situation.
Keep your mind open. To have a good personality, you should be always ready to change your view. Listen to others and always be willing to open your mind. Don't judge other people just because they don't act in the same way as you do. Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends and certainly live a much more interesting life. 4
Develop modesty (谦虚). You could be the most talented, excellent person in the world, but if you don't have any modesty, then it's probably hard for you to have a good personality. 5
Nobody likes those who are always arrogant (自大的).
A.Don't let yourself be this person.
B.Learn to love other people around you.
C.Everyone wants to have a good personality
D.Figure out what "personality" means to you.
E.There's no need to close the door to the world.
F.Never act as if you are more important than others.
G.Everyone likes him or her who is happy and positive
【答案】1.D 2.G 3.A 4.E 5.F

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学校·期中)Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from? You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. 6 And furthermore, they got the question right.
7 It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.
As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记).
8 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.
Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course. The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. 9 Try these tips:
★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.
★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’ re curious and excited about the information. Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand
★If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. 10
★ Time yourself for each passage you practice. Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.
A.To do that, you have to practice.
B.Find the common terms for the passage.
C.We miss things when we take class notes
D.Look through the textbooks for each course
E.That sounds much more complicated than it really is.
F.You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way
G.Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes
【答案】6.G 7.C 8.E 9.A 10.F
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了速写如何提高你的笔记技巧,并介绍了四点建议。
6.根据上文“You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. (你只是确定老师从来没有覆盖过这些信息,因为它不在你的笔记上)”和下文“And furthermore, they got the question right. (而且,他们也答对了那道问题)”可知,此处内容与你同学的笔记记录了这些信息有关,且下文的代词they指的是选项G中的some of your classmates,因此选项G“Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes. (然后,你发现你的一些同学在他们的笔记上记录了这些信息)”符合题意。故选G。
7.根据下文“ It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says. (这是一种常见的挫折。很少有人能写得足够快或足够集中精力记下老师说的每一句话)”可知,此处内容与讲述记笔记的时候会有一些遗漏这个现象有关,因此选项C“We miss things when we take class notes. (我们记笔记的时候会漏掉一些东西)”符合题意。故选C。
8.根据上文“For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记). (因此,许多大学生通过发展个性化的速记形式来处理丢失关键信息的潜在问题。)”和下文“You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. (你不需要学习一门潦草书写的语言。)”可知,此处内容与讲述学习速记听起来比实际情况要难有关,且选项E的代词That指的是上文的内容,因此选项E“That sounds much more complicated than it really is. (这听起来比实际情况要复杂得多)”符合题意。故选E。
9.根据上文“The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. (关键是要开发一个好的系统并把它做好)”和下文“Try these tips (试试这些建议)”可知,此处内容与讲述要把一个系统做好必须要练习有关,且选项A中的代词that指的是上文的to develop a good system and to do it well,因此选项A“To do that, you have to practice.(要做到这一点,你必须练习)”符合题意。故选A。
10.根据上文“If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. (如果可能的话,找一个学习伙伴为你朗读文章)”可知,此处内容与讲述找一个学习伙伴朗读文章的作用有关,因此选项F“You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way. (你可以通过这种方式获得上课记笔记的真实体验)”符合题意。故选F。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学附属中学·期中)It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case. 11 It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.
12 It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing classrooms.
Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad. 13 Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.
The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious. 14 Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.
Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy. 15
A.It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.
B.But it is important for children to use them gradually.
C.Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.
D.Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.
E.Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.
F.Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.
G.For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight.
【答案】11.F 12.C 13.G 14.B 15.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了久坐带来的健康隐患和采用站立式课桌对学生的健康的好处。
11.上文“It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case.(过健康的生活通常是一项复杂而累人的任务,但事实并非总是如此)”以及下文“It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.(为了孩子们的健康,是时候改变课堂环境了)”说明为了孩子们的健康,需要改变课堂环境,而且这并不一定是复杂且累人的,F项“现在,我们可以很容易地做一些事情来保持孩子的健康。”承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
12.根据下文“It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult.(孩子久坐与成年时的健康问题有关,这并不奇怪)”可知,孩子成年时有健康问题并不奇怪。由此推知,空处陈述这种问题不奇怪的原因。C项“孩子们一天中的大部分时间都坐在书桌前。”引出下文,符合题意,sitting at desks是关键词故选C。
13.上文“Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad.(在过去的几年里,许多研究表明,学生在使用站立式课桌时,活动范围的增加所带来的好处惊人的多)”说明学生使用站立式课桌有好处,G项“例如,他们帮助学生保持健康,避免体重过大”举例说明使用站立式课桌的好处,承接上文,符合题意。故选G。
14.上文“The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious.(将站立式课桌引入教室的好处是显而易见的)”以及下文“Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time.(否则,当他们长时间站立时,很可能会损伤他们的肌肉)”说明站立式课桌有好处,但长时间站立可能损伤孩子们的肌肉,B项“但对孩子们来说,逐渐使用它们是很重要的。”承上启下,说明要让孩子们逐渐使用站立式课桌,符合题意。故选B。
15.上文“Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy.(坐着并不可怕。这不是一件我们永远不应该做的事情。问题是我们坐得太多了,我们的孩子也是,这会降低孩子成功和保持健康的可能性)”说明久坐的坏处,D项“因此有必要用站立式课桌把坐分散开来。”说明解决方法,承接上文,符合题意。故选D。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第六中学·期中)Get Better at Saying No
When rejecting a request, “no” is a short, simple word that can cause anxiety for the person trying to say it. The following strategies can help you get better at saying no. Be intentional about what you communicate.
16 Sure, but as psychologist Vanessa Bohns points out, only saying a “no” is often pretty uncomfortable for the asker. Instead, she advises communicating three things: “It’s not because of me, it’s not because of you, and it’s not because of us.” One way to do that is by thanking people for thinking of you. 17 Then, follow up with a short explanation: “I wish I could, but I just don’t have the time right now.” That helps make it clear that your “no” isn’t a poor reflection of your own character; it’s not the other person; and it’s not a disapproval of the relationship, Bohns says. Have a planned phrase for more informal encounters.
Not every situation, of course, calls for such a thoughtful approach. Think through times when you’ve gotten stressed over delivering a quick “no”, and then brainstorm phrases you could use in the future. Bohns, for example, is often asked to donate to some cause or another as she checks out at the grocery store. 18 “It’s true, and it’s a way of saying, essentially, that I’m still a good person,” she says. 19
There’s always that one guy who won’t take “no” for an answer. If someone is applying too much pressure, adopt what psychologist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the broken-record technique. 20 Occasionally, the asker will get annoyed, but usually after repeating yourself two or three times, even the most persistent (执着的) people will get the message.
A.She says no directly.
B.That is, stick to your answer.
C.Adopt the broken-record technique.
D.It’s not worth repeating your request again and again.
E.She now has a go-to response: “I already donated this year.”
F.You might hear that “no” is a convenient word for declining requests.
G.This makes them relieved that they didn’t do anything wrong by asking.
【答案】16.F 17.G 18.E 19.C 20.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是更好地说“不”的一些策略。
16.空后“Sure, but as psychologist Vanessa Bohns points out, only saying a “no” is often pretty uncomfortable for the asker. (当然,但正如心理学家Vanessa Bohns指出的那样,只说“不”通常会让请求者感到很不舒服)”说明只说“不”通常会让请求者感到很不舒服,but表转折,因此空格处应该说一般会觉得说“不”是可以的,F选项“You might hear that “no” is a convenient word for declining requests.(你可能听说“no”是一个用来拒绝请求的方便词)”说明了“不”是一个用来拒绝请求的方便词,因此引起下文,符合语境,故选F。
17.空前“One way to do that is by thanking people for thinking of you. (其中一个方法就是感谢别人想到你了)”说明了感谢别人想到你这种方法,空格处应该说这么做的好处,G选项“This makes them relieved that they didn’t do anything wrong by asking. (这让他们松了一口气,因为他们没有因为要求你而做错任何事)”说明了感谢别人想到你这种方法的好处,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
18.空前“Bohns, for example, is often asked to donate to some cause or another as she checks out at the grocery store. (例如,当Bohns在杂货店结账时,她经常被要求为这样或那样的事业捐款。)”举出了Bohns被要求捐款的例子,空格处应该说她的回答,E选项“She now has a go-to response: “I already donated this year.” (现在,她的回答是:“我今年已经捐过了。”)”说明的是她的回答,且其中的donate和前面的donate相一致,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选E。
19.空格处是本段小标题,由空后的“If someone is applying too much pressure, adopt what psychologist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the broken-record technique. (如果有人给你的压力太大,那就采用心理学家Ellen Hendriksen所说的“破纪录法”)”可知,本段主要讲的是采用“破纪录法”,因此C选项“Adopt the broken-record technique. (采用打破记录的技巧)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为小标题,故选C。
20.空前“If someone is applying too much pressure, adopt what psychologist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the broken-record technique. (如果有人给你的压力太大,那就采用心理学家Ellen Hendriksen所说的“破纪录法”)”提出了“破纪录法”,空格处应该解释这是一种什么方法,这种方法具体的做法是什么,B选项“That is, stick to your answer. (也就是说,坚持你的答案)”解释了前面这种技巧的具体做法,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选B。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第五十九中学校·期中)Some Winter Activities
Winter activities are underestimated (低估). The days may be shorter, but the list of fun activities isn’t. Don’t let the winter blues take over. 21
Finding your favourite. 22 Nobody likes cardio (有氧运动) for a long time, but signing up for an adult sports team, or taking a yoga class on the weekend can be a fun way to break up the boredom of going to the gym. Recreational (娱乐的) sports are also a great way to meet new people.
Walking on snow. 23 Walking with snowshoes is friendly to beginners, and suitable for kids and seniors alike. You can buy a set for under $100 or rent some for the afternoon. Take a friend or walk alone to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors in winter.
Skiing. Those that love it really love it. Hitting the ski hills is an old wintertime tradition. It gets you outside, boosts your mood, and serves as a core workout. You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. 24 If you’re feeling tired of too much indoor time, get your heart pumping at a nearby ski hill.
25 Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding. Expanding your professional skill can do wonders for your future job prospects. It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season.
A.Go to the gym.
B.Learning something.
C.Most ski fields rent gear too.
D.Be active and try these winter activities.

【答案】21.D 22.G 23.F 24.C 25.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一些可以在冬季进行的活动。
21.前文“The days may be shorter, but the list of fun activities isn’t. Don’t let the winter blues take over. (白天可能更短,但有趣的活动清单却不是。不要让冬天的忧郁占据上风。)”讲述了冬天也有一些有趣的活动,所以不要让冬天的阴霾笼罩自己,空处应承上启下,引出接下来的一些活动,D项“活跃起来,尝试这些冬季活动。”符合题意。故选D。
22.前文“Finding your favourite. (找到你最喜欢的事情。)”是本段主旨句,讲述了要找到自己最喜欢做的事情,G项“保持健康的关键是找到你喜欢做的事情。”与主题相照应。故选G。
23.后文“Walking with snowshoes is friendly to beginners, and suitable for kids and seniors alike. (穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好,适合儿童和老年人。)”讲述了穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好,所以空处应是说不需要成为运动员就可以做这项活动,F项“你不必是一名运动员就可以享受这种季节性的活动。”符合题意。故选F。
24.前文“You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. (你不需要最新的装备就能玩得开心。)”讲述了没必要购买最新的装备,空处应说有其他获得装备的方式,C项“大多数滑雪场也租装备。”符合题意。故选C。
25.空处是本段主旨句。根据后文“Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding. Expanding your professional skill can do wonders for your future job prospects. It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season. (参加在线课程,或者第一次学乐器,都会带来难以置信的回报。扩展你的专业技能可以为你未来的工作前景创造奇迹。这可能需要一些规划,但可以考虑在这个季节学习一些新的东西。)”可知,本段主要是讲述学习新东西的好处,所以B项“学一些东西。”符合题意。故选B。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市·期中)Tricks to become a patient person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? 26 . They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience.
In the digital age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
27
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits. 28 . It can also help us practice more patience. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel-good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. Start with small tasks. 29 or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
Accept the uncomfortable
30 . When we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable (无法忍受的).” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A.There is one answer
B.Keep a balanced state of mind
C.Practice showing or expressing gratitude
D.Attach importance to process and method
E.Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend
F.So many of us believe being comfortable is the only state we will enjoy
G.Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic
【答案】26.A 27.C 28.G 29.E 30.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成为一个有耐心的人的一些技巧。
26.上文“Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common?(这里有一个谜语:交通堵塞、排长队和等待假期开始有什么共同之处?)”提出了一个问题,A项“There is one answer(答案只有一个)”衔接上文的问题,并引出下文具体的答案“They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience.(这些都是我们需要一点额外耐心的情况)”衔接恰当。故选A项。
27.下文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits.(感恩有很多好处)”及“It can also help us practice more patience. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.(它也可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心。加利福尼亚大学的研究员叶丽说:“表达感激可以培养自我控制能力。”)”可知,本段主要讨论了表达感激的好处。故C项“Practice showing or expressing gratitude(练习表达感激之情)”可总结本段内容。故选C项。
28.上文“Thankfulness has a lot of benefits.(感恩有很多好处)”说明感恩好处很多,并结合下文“It can also help us practice more patience.(它也可以帮助我们练习更多的耐心)”说明了具体的好处,G项“Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic(研究表明,它让我们更快乐,压力更小,甚至更乐观)”衔接上文,开始陈述具体的好处,并引出下文递进的好处即“also help us practice more patience”,衔接恰当。故选G项。
29.上文“Start with small tasks.(从小事开始)”说明练习耐心要从小事开始,并结合下文“or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake(或者再等10分钟再吃蛋糕)”举出了具体的事例,E项“Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend(把你最喜欢的节目推迟到周末看)”衔接上文,举例说明练习耐心要从小事开始,与下文事例一致。故选E项。
30.下文“When we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable.” You’ll then gradually become more patient.(当我们在舒适区之外经历一些事情时,我们会对环境失去耐心。你应该学会对自己说:“这只是不舒服,并不是无法忍受。”然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心)”说明走出舒适区,接受不适感有助于培养耐心,F项“So many of us believe being comfortable is the only state we will enjoy(我们中的许多人都认为舒适是我们唯一享受的状态)”与下文构成因果关系,因为舒适是我们唯一享受的状态,所以走出舒适区会引起不适,衔接恰当。故选F项。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省大庆市大庆中学·期中)Everybody has gone through bad days, and some bad days feel like the world is on our shoulders and we just can’t bear the weight of it any longer. 31 Consider the following ways when you are experiencing the worst days of your life.
Reflect.
When you have the worst day of your life, turning to reflection can remove any bad mood. 32 Others like to spend time writing in journals to express their feelings. The point of the quiet time is to release the bad mood of your day.
Reach out to others.
When you are feeling like your world has ended, you need to reach out to others for help. Sometimes this might mean seeking professional help if you are in a state of depression (抑郁), or it might simply mean talking to a well-trusted friend. 33
Change your mental state.
Sometimes it is just a matter of turning them into active thoughts. 34 Once you are able to do that, you will see that it really was not the worst day ever after all.
35
To deal with the worst day and improve yourself, you can set goals. Whether you realize them or not, you will gain a growth experience which moves you forward rather than holds you back.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省大庆铁人中学·期中)Critical (批判的) thinking is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our true potential. It doesn’t mean you’re thinking harder or longer. 36 Here are some tips and ideas to help you build a foundation for critical thinking.
Question your assumptions. We make a lot of assumptions about almost everything. It’s how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along in everyday life. You could say they are the foundation of our critical framework. 37 Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.
Don’t take information on authority until you've investigated it yourself. Instead of double-checking everything anyone says, we tend to label information as either coming from a trustworthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they don’t. 38
Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Empathy can also help you develop your critical thinking skills. 39 You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight into other people and their behavior. The deeper your insight into yourself and others, the wiser your decisions will be.
40 There is no way to learn better than learning from your friends. If you only want to be a big fish swimming in the little pond just because your ego (自负) feels good, keep this part. If you are wondering about how to develop critical skills, make friends with smart people and throw away your ego.
A.Actually, it’s about thinking better.
B.Surround yourself with people smarter than you.
C.Be someone that people know that they can count on.
D.You should not judge others until you fully understand their situation.
E.But what if they turned out to be wrong, or at least not entirely truthful?
F.The reason is that understanding does not always go with the right action.
G.So what is published in a magazine or online doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true.
【答案】36.A 37.E 38.G 39.D 40.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。批判性思维是一种运用理性分析思想、深入挖掘以达到真正潜能的艺术。这是更好地思考。文中介绍了一些帮助你建立批判性思维基础的技巧和想法:勇于质疑、会移情,为他人着想、与聪明的人相处等。
36.本段是对批判性思维的定义。根据空前“It doesn’t mean you’re thinking harder or longer.(这并不是你思考的更久或更长)”可知,批判性思维并不是你思考的更久或更长,空处应是接着进行解释“而是……”,选项A“实际上,它是关于更好地思考”符合语境,“不是……而是……”是一种常用的解释,故选A项。
37.根据空后“Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.(那么整个基础就需要自下而上重建)”可推断,需要重建说明假设是错误的,分析选项,E项“但是如果它们被证明是错误的,或者至少不是完全真实的呢?”符合语境,与后面的整个基础就需要重建是互为条件。故选E项。
38.根据本段首句“Don’t take information on authority until you've investigated it yourself.(在你自己调查之前,不要轻信权威人士的信息)”及空前一句“But it also keeps us from getting to the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they don’t.(但它也使我们无法弄清我们认为来自可靠来源的事情的真相,即使事实并非如此)”可知,本段主要讲不要轻信权威,我们认为来自权威来源的信息有时事实并非如此,分析选项可知,G项“所以杂志或网络上发表的内容并不意味着这是真的”符合语境,因为杂志上发表的东西相对是权威性的。故选G项。
39.根据本段主题句“Put yourself in other people’s shoes.(设身处地为别人着想)”可知,本段主要讲述要设身处地为别人着想,结合空后“You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight into other people and their behavior.(你可能会发现,些许的理解有助于更深入地了解他人及其行为)”可知,D项“不理解别人时不要评价别人”与此处语义一致,D项选中的动词understand与空后的名词understanding呼应。故选D项。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省密山市第一中学·期中)Gossip is the sharing of personal information about someone else who is not present. All of us have probably caught ourselves, from time to time, allowing ourselves to enjoy the pleasure of gossiping more than we would like to admit. Someone says the words, “Don’t tell this to anyone.” 41 We all know that we shouldn’t talk behind someone’s back, but gossip is so common.
Gossip has some characteristics (特点). First, gossip is an activity that is done with other people. 42 Second, the information shared is always about someone who is not present in the conversation, or about someone whom we believe to be absent. Third, when we gossip, we not only share facts, but also make some judgments about the person.
Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral (不偏袒的). 43 Most of this gossip was about people they knew of. Negative gossip was twice as common as positive gossip. Over three-fourths of the gossip was simply discussing someone else.
44 Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education. 45 On average, people spent about 52 minutes a day gossiping. The study showed that gossip is everywhere.
A.We can’t do it alone or only in our head.
B.Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally.
C.So people express their angry feelings by gossiping.
D.What’s more interesting is who gossips and how much.
E.And the information was interesting for the present people.
F.But moments later, we may tell it to someone else with the exact same warning.
G.It means people were simply sharing information about a person who wasn’t present.
【答案】41.F 42.A 43.G 44.D 45.B
【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过探讨流言蜚语的特点、原因以及人们为何参与其中,揭示了流言蜚语的普遍性和它在社会交往中的作用。
41.根据上文“Someone says the words, Don’t tell this to anyone.(有人这样说:不要告诉任何人。)”可知,这句话表明了人们在分享流言时的矛盾心理,知道不应该背后说人坏话,但仍然会这么做。选项F中的But moments later, we may tell it to someone else with the exact same warning.(但片刻之后,我们可能会用同样的警告告诉别人。)与此情境相符,揭示了人们在流言蜚语中的普遍行为,故选F。
42.根据上文“Gossip is an activity that is done with other people.(流言蜚语是与他人一起进行的活动。)”可知,这句话强调了流言蜚语的社交本质,需要多人参与。选项A中的We can’t do it alone or only in our head.(我们不能独自做这件事,也不能只在我们脑海中进行。)与此相呼应,进一步阐释了流言蜚语需要他人参与的特点,故选A。
43.根据上文“Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral.(研究人员研究了包括男性和女性在内的志愿者,以找出一些关于流言蜚语的事实。他们发现大多数流言蜚语是中性的。)”可知,这句话说明了流言蜚语的性质,并非总是负面的。选项G中的And the information was interesting for the present people.(信息对在场的人是有趣的。)与此相衔接,表明流言蜚语中的信息对参与者来说是有吸引力的,故选G。
44.根据下文“The study showed that gossip is everywhere.(研究表明流言蜚语无处不在。)”可知,这句话强调了流言蜚语的普遍性。选项D中的What’s more interesting is who gossips and how much.(更有趣的是谁在说流言蜚语以及说了多少。)与此相衔接,提出了关于流言蜚语更深入的问题,即参与者和频率,故选D。
45.根据上文“Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education.(外向的人比内向的人更多地参与流言蜚语。更富有和受过良好教育的人比那些没有钱和教育的人更多地参与流言蜚语。)”可知,这句话揭示了某些人群更倾向于参与流言蜚语。选项B中的Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally.(女性比男性更多地参与流言蜚语,但只是中立地。)与此相呼应,指出女性是流言蜚语的主要参与者,并且通常是以中立的方式进行,故选B。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省牡丹江市第一高级中学·期中)Some people are always on time, while others are at least 20 minutes (and sometimes even hours) late! It’s annoying, because while you wait for your friend, you feel offended. 46
First of all, talk to your friend about your feelings. Don’t offend them. 47 Ask your friend why they are always late and find out the answer. It might happen that your friend just doesn’t know how to effectively manage their time. By the way, you’re not the only person whom your friend makes wait, so don’t take things personally.
Try to find a way to make your friend come on time. For example, you can tell them that your cellphone is out of power and you can’t be called. If your friend can’t call and tell you they will be late, they will have to come on time. 48 Don’t worry. You don’t have to come earlier!
When nothing works, change your attitude to accept the fact that your friend will never come on time. 49 For instance, don’t arrange the meetings when your friend has to pick you up for the movie. You know your friend will be late and you will miss it!
50 Take a book or a newspaper to read, so you can entertain yourself and never notice the time that you have to wait. If you’re not a book lover then check your email or chat with your other friends.
A.Wait a certain period of time, then go on with your plans, alone.
B.Be productive when you have to wait for your friend.
C.After all, friendship is more important than arriving on time.
D.So how can you deal with the always-late friend?

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省绥化市绥棱县第一中学·期中)Those who have a go-getter mentality (心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world. Let’s learn ways on how to achieve a go-getter attitude.
66
Bite-sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more.
Have a clear idea and be intentional (有心的)
67 , having detailed goals in mind, writing them down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful. Being intentional is to be willing to try new things and look for solutions. There is no point in doing something if you’re not intentional about what you do. 68 , even a small stone in your path will stop you.
Look at your mistakes as opportunities
It’s also important to look at your mistakes as chances to improve yourself. 69 . If, for example, you work on a project that receives unpleasant comments, use those comments to improve your project and present it again.
Find the courage to push yourself towards goals
Allow yourself to be around by active people who believe in and support you, including those who have pushed through challenges and achieved their goals. Take encouragement from them. Also, you can look back and remind yourself of what you’ve already achieved, and don’t undervalue any of them. 70 .
A.Follow your interests
B.Set up bite-sized goals
C.They prove you can do it
D.Knowing where you want to go
E.If you don’t want to achieve something
F.When you come across people who are successful
G.Learn from them and quickly put the learning into action
【答案】66.B 67.D 68.E 69.G 70.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何拥有积极进取的态度。
66.空处是段落小标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他标题一样使用祈使句的形式。后文“Bite-sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more. (小目标很重要。它们让你体验成就,从而让你奖励自己,最终有助于提高你的动力,推动你取得更多成就)”主要说明了小目标的重要性,说明其作用,因此B项“Set up bite-sized goals (设定小目标)”符合语境,建议设定小目标,契合段落内容,适合作为标题,其中的bite-sized goals和段落中的Bite-sized goals是同词复现。故选B。
67.本段小标题“Have a clear idea and be intentional (有心的) (有一个明确的想法,并有意为之)”建议明确想法,并跟着该想法去行动,后文“having detailed goals in mind, writing them down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful (在脑海中有详细的目标,把它们写下来,描述出来,这些都是成功的第一步)”描述了标题中明确想法的操作,说明其重要性,因此D项“Knowing where you want to go (知道你想去哪里)”符合语境,提出要知道去哪儿,引出后续的操作,呼应标题中的Have a clear idea。故选D。
68.前文“There is no point in doing something if you’re not intentional about what you do. (如果你不是有意为之,那么做一件事是没有意义的)”强调了意愿对于做事的意义,后文“even a small stone in your path will stop you (即使是路上的一块小石头也会阻止你)”说明了一种负面的情况,因此E项“If you don’t want to achieve something (如果你不想有所成就)”符合语境,假设没有意愿的情形,承前启后,引出后面的情况。故选E。
69.前文“It’s also important to look at your mistakes as chances to improve yourself. (把你的错误看作是提高自己的机会也很重要)”建议积极地看待错误,使之成为提高自己的机会,后文“If, for example, you work on a project that receives unpleasant comments, use those comments to improve your project and present it again. (例如,如果你从事的项目收到了不愉快的评论,请使用这些评论来改进你的项目并再次提交)”给出具体例子,展示如何对待错误,因此G项“Learn from them and quickly put the learning into action (向它们学习,并迅速将所学付诸行动)”符合语境,说明应从错误中学习,承接前文对待错误的态度,引出后文的例子,其中的them指代前文的your mistakes。故选G。
70.前文“Also, you can look back and remind yourself of what you’ve already achieved, and don’t undervalue any of them. (同时,你可以回顾并提醒自己已经取得的成就,不要低估其中任何一个)”补充说明可以回顾自己的成就,因此C项“They prove you can do it (它们证明你可以做到)”符合语境,表明这些成就的作用,承接前文,其中的They指代前文的what you’ve already achieved。故选C。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学青冈实验中学校·期中)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!?”
Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from the University of Cambridge, probably disagrees. After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. 71 . Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.
In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. 72 .
A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1 :00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week , the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6: 40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies. 73 , he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.
Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row.
74 . They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.
Some may wonder how they can avoid exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management &Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises how to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. 75 , because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then get enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.
Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, and then “twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.
A.If he failed to follow the schedule
B.It records her daily life on campus
C.They all set good examples to us
D.The two have something in common
E.When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule
F.We should also know how to avoid and release stress
G.Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online
【答案】71.B 72.G 73.E 74.D 75.F

In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising.(在她的视频中,22岁的她每天早上6:30起床,晚上10:30睡觉。在此期间,她在学习、做饭、打扫房间和锻炼之间取得平衡)”可知,本段主要说明了视频中她的日常生活,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文继续介绍她记录的生活内容。故G选项“有时她找时间在网上和朋友见面,和家人聊天”符合语境,故选G。
73.根据上文“A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1 :00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week , the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6: 40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies.(类似的情况也发生在中国的大学生身上。几个月前,清华大学官方微博发布了学生计划、学习笔记和日常安排的图片。在其中一间屋子里,一个大学生把自己的日常生活安排得井井有条。他通常凌晨1点睡觉,6点起床。虽然他一周只上10节课,但他一天的其他时间都被安排满了。他每天早上6点40分开始预习课本,最后总结一下自己的学习)”以及后文“he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.(他会给自己写鼓励的话,比如“你是最棒的”、“勇往直前”)”可知,上文介绍了大学生的日常生活,后文则给到了给自己鼓励,故本句说明给予鼓励的原因。故E选项“当他觉得很难坚持自己的计划时”符合语境,故选E。
74.根据上一段“Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row.(两个学生的努力当然得到了回报。怀特在全班152名同学中名列前茅,这位中国本科生连续四年获得一等奖学金)”以及后文“They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.(他们有规律的时间表,早起学习。他们把尽可能多的活动塞进日程表。更重要的是,他们学会了有效管理时间的方法)”可知,本段主要总结了共同点。故D选项“两者有共同之处”符合语境,故选D。
75.根据后文“because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.”(因为,“心理健康和身体健康一样重要。”)”可知,后文提到了心理健康的重要性,说明本句是在建议如何保证心理健康,故F选项“我们还应该知道如何避免和释放压力”符合语境,故选F。

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市讷河市·期中)Developing a good personality is good for you. How can you achieve it? Here are some suggestions.
1 Most people see personality as the collection of spiritual and behavioral qualities that make you who you are. These are lasting along with you and you are easy to think, behave, and feel in certain ways. Although some of your personality is decided by your genetics (基因) and your early experiences, it is possible to change your beliefs and behaviors over time to a certain degree.
Keep happy and enjoyable. Try to see the joy in the world. Laugh with others, but not at them. 2 Smiling and laughing a lot is a large part of having a good personality.
Always stay calm in different situations. A lot of people seem like they have a good personality. However, when they are faced with a sudden or serious event, they may lose their head and panic. 3 If you are in a nervous situation, try to calm and relax yourself and think what you can do to deal with the situation.
Keep your mind open. To have a good personality, you should be always ready to change your view. Listen to others and always be willing to open your mind. Don't judge other people just because they don't act in the same way as you do. Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends and certainly live a much more interesting life. 4
Develop modesty (谦虚). You could be the most talented, excellent person in the world, but if you don't have any modesty, then it's probably hard for you to have a good personality. 5
Nobody likes those who are always arrogant (自大的).
A.Don't let yourself be this person.
B.Learn to love other people around you.
C.Everyone wants to have a good personality
D.Figure out what "personality" means to you.
E.There's no need to close the door to the world.
F.Never act as if you are more important than others.
G.Everyone likes him or her who is happy and positive

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学校·期中)Have you ever gazed at a test question and wondered where on earth it came from? You’re just certain the teacher has never covered the information, because it isn’t in your notes. 6 And furthermore, they got the question right.
7 It is a common frustration. Very few people can write fast enough or can concentrate long enough to record everything the teacher says.
As you can imagine, college lectures can be much longer and more detailed than the lectures you receive in high school. For this reason, many college students deal with the potential problem of missing critical information by developing a personalized form of shorthand (速记).
8 You don’t have to learn a squiggly-line (潦草书写的) language. You simply come up with a set of symbols or abbreviations (缩写) for common words that you find in lectures.
Developing shortcuts in your writing is not a new idea, of course. The trick is to develop a good system and to do it well. 9 Try these tips:
★Develop a list of the most commonly used words and make shortcuts for them.
★Practice your course-specific shorthand at the beginning of the term when your text is still new and you’ re curious and excited about the information. Find a few interesting passages and practice writing them in shorthand
★If possible, find a study partner to read the passages to you. 10
★ Time yourself for each passage you practice. Pretty soon you’ll start to build up speed.
A.To do that, you have to practice.
B.Find the common terms for the passage.
C.We miss things when we take class notes
D.Look through the textbooks for each course
E.That sounds much more complicated than it really is.
F.You can get the real experience of taking notes during a lecture in this way
G.Then, you discover that some of your classmates did record the information in their notes

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学附属中学·期中)It is often a complex and tiring task to live a healthy life, but that isn’t always the case. 11 It’s time to change the classroom environment for the health of the children.
12 It’s not surprising that sitting for long as a child is associated with health problems as an adult. Fortunately, there’s a simple, overlooked solution to these problems — standing classrooms.
Over the last few years, a number of studies have shown that the benefits of the increased range of movement students experience when using standing desks are surprisingly broad. 13 Besides, standing desks encourage higher levels of teamwork and participation among students. Standing desks also help to reduce the risk of some diseases. They can help to prevent fatness, heart disease and low spirits. Sedentary (久坐的) lifestyles are a major reason why teenagers suffer from poor mental health, while higher activity levels reduce the chances of a child experiencing such an illness.
The benefits of bringing standing desks into classrooms are obvious. 14 Otherwise they will likely hurt their muscles when standing for a long time. Standing desks usually offer a full range of motion, which includes the option to sit or lean (倾斜身体) without losing eye-level of the rest of the class, and that full range of motion is important.
Sitting isn’t horrible. It isn’t a thing we should never do. The problem is that we do it too much, and so do our children, which makes children less likely to succeed and keep healthy. 15
A.It is time for us to stand up to stay healthy.
B.But it is important for children to use them gradually.
C.Children spend most of their school day sitting at desks.
D.Thus it’s necessary to break up the sitting with standing desks.
E.Something as cheap as a desk could be making a major difference.
F.Right now there is something we can do easily to keep our children healthy.
G.For example, they help students keep fit and avoid putting on too much weight.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第六中学·期中)Get Better at Saying No
When rejecting a request, “no” is a short, simple word that can cause anxiety for the person trying to say it. The following strategies can help you get better at saying no. Be intentional about what you communicate.
16 Sure, but as psychologist Vanessa Bohns points out, only saying a “no” is often pretty uncomfortable for the asker. Instead, she advises communicating three things: “It’s not because of me, it’s not because of you, and it’s not because of us.” One way to do that is by thanking people for thinking of you. 17 Then, follow up with a short explanation: “I wish I could, but I just don’t have the time right now.” That helps make it clear that your “no” isn’t a poor reflection of your own character; it’s not the other person; and it’s not a disapproval of the relationship, Bohns says. Have a planned phrase for more informal encounters.
Not every situation, of course, calls for such a thoughtful approach. Think through times when you’ve gotten stressed over delivering a quick “no”, and then brainstorm phrases you could use in the future. Bohns, for example, is often asked to donate to some cause or another as she checks out at the grocery store. 18 “It’s true, and it’s a way of saying, essentially, that I’m still a good person,” she says. 19
There’s always that one guy who won’t take “no” for an answer. If someone is applying too much pressure, adopt what psychologist Ellen Hendriksen describes as the broken-record technique. 20 Occasionally, the asker will get annoyed, but usually after repeating yourself two or three times, even the most persistent (执着的) people will get the message.
A.She says no directly.
B.That is, stick to your answer.
C.Adopt the broken-record technique.
D.It’s not worth repeating your request again and again.
E.She now has a go-to response: “I already donated this year.”
F.You might hear that “no” is a convenient word for declining requests.
G.This makes them relieved that they didn’t do anything wrong by asking.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第五十九中学校·期中)Some Winter Activities
Winter activities are underestimated (低估). The days may be shorter, but the list of fun activities isn’t. Don’t let the winter blues take over. 21
Finding your favourite. 22 Nobody likes cardio (有氧运动) for a long time, but signing up for an adult sports team, or taking a yoga class on the weekend can be a fun way to break up the boredom of going to the gym. Recreational (娱乐的) sports are also a great way to meet new people.
Walking on snow. 23 Walking with snowshoes is friendly to beginners, and suitable for kids and seniors alike. You can buy a set for under $100 or rent some for the afternoon. Take a friend or walk alone to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors in winter.
Skiing. Those that love it really love it. Hitting the ski hills is an old wintertime tradition. It gets you outside, boosts your mood, and serves as a core workout. You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. 24 If you’re feeling tired of too much indoor time, get your heart pumping at a nearby ski hill.
25 Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding. Expanding your professional skill can do wonders for your future job prospects. It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season.
A.Go to the gym.
B.Learning something.
C.Most ski fields rent gear too.
D.Be active and try these winter activities.
E.The following are things you can do at home.
F.You needn’t be an athlete to enjoy this seasonal activity.
G.The key to keeping healthy is finding what you enjoy doing.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市·期中)Tricks to become a patient person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? 26 . They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience.
In the digital age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
27
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits. 28 . It can also help us practice more patience. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel-good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. Start with small tasks. 29 or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
Accept the uncomfortable
30 . When we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable (无法忍受的).” You’ll then gradually become more patient.
A.There is one answer
B.Keep a balanced state of mind
C.Practice showing or expressing gratitude
D.Attach importance to process and method
E.Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend
F.So many of us believe being comfortable is the only state we will enjoy
G.Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省大庆市大庆中学·期中)Everybody has gone through bad days, and some bad days feel like the world is on our shoulders and we just can’t bear the weight of it any longer. 31 Consider the following ways when you are experiencing the worst days of your life.
Reflect.
When you have the worst day of your life, turning to reflection can remove any bad mood. 32 Others like to spend time writing in journals to express their feelings. The point of the quiet time is to release the bad mood of your day.
Reach out to others.
When you are feeling like your world has ended, you need to reach out to others for help. Sometimes this might mean seeking professional help if you are in a state of depression (抑郁), or it might simply mean talking to a well-trusted friend. 33
Change your mental state.
Sometimes it is just a matter of turning them into active thoughts. 34 Once you are able to do that, you will see that it really was not the worst day ever after all.
35
To deal with the worst day and improve yourself, you can set goals. Whether you realize them or not, you will gain a growth experience which moves you forward rather than holds you back.
A.Set goals.
B.Improve yourself.
C.You will make it sooner or later.
D.Sometimes it needs a change in your mental state to overcome it.
E.There are ways to remove those feelings and breathe fresh air again.
F.Whomever you choose to turn to, open up so that the bad mood doesn’t beat you.
G.Some feel relieved when they find a quiet place and time to think about the day’s events carefully.
(八)
(23-24高一下·黑龙江省大庆铁人中学·期中)Critical (批判的) thinking is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our true potential. It doesn’t mean you’re thinking harder or longer. 36 Here are some tips and ideas to help you build a foundation for critical thinking.
Question your assumptions. We make a lot of assumptions about almost everything. It’s how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along in everyday life. You could say they are the foundation of our critical framework. 37 Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.
Don’t take information on authority until you've investigated it yourself. Instead of double-checking everything anyone says, we tend to label information as either coming from a trustworthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they don’t. 38
Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Empathy can also help you develop your critical thinking skills. 39 You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight into other people and their behavior. The deeper your insight into yourself and others, the wiser your decisions will be.
40 There is no way to learn better than learning from your friends. If you only want to be a big fish swimming in the little pond just because your ego (自负) feels good, keep this part. If you are wondering about how to develop critical skills, make friends with smart people and throw away your ego.
A.Actually, it’s about thinking better.
B.Surround yourself with people smarter than you.
C.Be someone that people know that they can count on.
D.You should not judge others until you fully understand their situation.
E.But what if they turned out to be wrong, or at least not entirely truthful?
F.The reason is that understanding does not always go with the right action.
G.So what is published in a magazine or online doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true.
(九)
(23-24高一下·黑龙江省密山市第一中学·期中)Gossip is the sharing of personal information about someone else who is not present. All of us have probably caught ourselves, from time to time, allowing ourselves to enjoy the pleasure of gossiping more than we would like to admit. Someone says the words, “Don’t tell this to anyone.” 41 We all know that we shouldn’t talk behind someone’s back, but gossip is so common.
Gossip has some characteristics (特点). First, gossip is an activity that is done with other people. 42 Second, the information shared is always about someone who is not present in the conversation, or about someone whom we believe to be absent. Third, when we gossip, we not only share facts, but also make some judgments about the person.
Researchers studied volunteers, including women and men, to find out some facts about gossip. They found that most gossip was neutral (不偏袒的). 43 Most of this gossip was about people they knew of. Negative gossip was twice as common as positive gossip. Over three-fourths of the gossip was simply discussing someone else.
44 Outgoing people gossip more than quiet people. People who are wealthier and well-educated gossip more than people who have less money and education. 45 On average, people spent about 52 minutes a day gossiping. The study showed that gossip is everywhere.
A.We can’t do it alone or only in our head.
B.Women gossip more than men, but only neutrally.
C.So people express their angry feelings by gossiping.
D.What’s more interesting is who gossips and how much.
E.And the information was interesting for the present people.
F.But moments later, we may tell it to someone else with the exact same warning.
G.It means people were simply sharing information about a person who wasn’t present.
(十)
(23-24高一下·黑龙江省牡丹江市第一高级中学·期中)Some people are always on time, while others are at least 20 minutes (and sometimes even hours) late! It’s annoying, because while you wait for your friend, you feel offended. 46
First of all, talk to your friend about your feelings. Don’t offend them. 47 Ask your friend why they are always late and find out the answer. It might happen that your friend just doesn’t know how to effectively manage their time. By the way, you’re not the only person whom your friend makes wait, so don’t take things personally.
Try to find a way to make your friend come on time. For example, you can tell them that your cellphone is out of power and you can’t be called. If your friend can’t call and tell you they will be late, they will have to come on time. 48 Don’t worry. You don’t have to come earlier!
When nothing works, change your attitude to accept the fact that your friend will never come on time. 49 For instance, don’t arrange the meetings when your friend has to pick you up for the movie. You know your friend will be late and you will miss it!
50 Take a book or a newspaper to read, so you can entertain yourself and never notice the time that you have to wait. If you’re not a book lover then check your email or chat with your other friends.
A.Wait a certain period of time, then go on with your plans, alone.
B.Be productive when you have to wait for your friend.
C.After all, friendship is more important than arriving on time.
D.So how can you deal with the always-late friend?
E.Don’t put yourself in situations where you depend on your friend.
F.Why should you put up with a lack of respect for your valuable time?
G.Or just tell your friend you’re to meet half an hour earlier than the real meeting time.
(十一)
(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨市第三中学校·期中)It’s now, more than ever, crucial to adopting a low-impact lifestyle since all kinds of waste, including that of the fashion industry, are piling up in landfills with astonishing speed. 51 Thankfully, the following tips can help you reduce clothing waste.
·Buy fewer clothes overall. 52 It’s a more cautious approach to shopping and consumption (消费) in general. Think twice about what you will buy and say no to over consumption. You can even try out a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle. Shop for what you need only when necessary, keep things simple, and go back to basics.
·Shop for high-quality clothing. High-quality clothes can cost more at first but save you money in the long run. 53 Moreover, quality clothes can make you feel more comfortable and confident, improve your fashion style, and help you look your best.
· 54 Upcycling is very beneficial to the planet and your budget (预算). Instead of throwing old clothes away, use parts of or entire old clothes to make something new and more valuable. You can even create stylish and unique pieces of clothing by upcycling.
·Donate your unwanted fashion items. Do a quick online search for your local options to donate clothes that are still in good condition. Be sure to contact organizations first and ask them what type of clothes they accept. You can donate clothing to for-profit companies or to homeless shelters and family service agencies. 55
A.Repurpose your old clothes.
B.Upcycle everyday household objects.
C.Limit your fashion consumption in the first place.
D.Thrown clothes have had a disastrous impact on the planet.
E.They are more likely to stay in good condition for a long time.
F.Heavy coats and sweaters can go to animal shelters in your local area.
G.Reducing clothing waste is necessary for making fashion more sustainable.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省牡丹江市第二高级中学·期中)Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock 56 . Here is how to make one.
• 57 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
• Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 58 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
• Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 59 .
• Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 60 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A.Get a sleep specialist.
B.Find the right motivation.
C.A better plan for sleep can help.
D.And consider setting a second alarm.
E.If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F.Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G.Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市实验中学·期中)Cats in ancient Egypt
Many of us love cats. They are beautiful, soft, clever and loving. The ancient Egyptians (埃及人) considered cats, also known as Mau, to be very important. They honored them with great respect. 61
For one thing, cats helped people by keeping their homes free of mice, rats, and snakes. Without cats Egypt could not have been the important graingrowing (谷物种植) center that it was. 62 For another, cats were also trained to help hunters. 63
The Egyptians loved cats so much that Bast, an Egyptian goddess, was pictured in the form of a cat. Bast appeared in artwork. She was the protector of the house. This idea made a special connection between cats and children. 64
The safety of all cats was of great concern to ancient Egyptians. 65 Foreigners sometimes took cats out of Egypt secretly and took them to other lands. Egyptian soldiers were sent to pick up cats found in other countries and bring them back home to Egypt.
A.There were good reasons for that.
B.Two types of cats appeared in ancient Egypt.
C.In grain fields, cats helped catch rats and mice.
D.They were able to help pick up the wounded birds.
E.There were even laws against getting a cat out of Egypt.
F.Anyone who killed a cat on purpose would be put to death.
G.That's why most Egyptian families had cats for good luck.

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省绥化市绥棱县第一中学·期中)Those who have a go-getter mentality (心态) are seen as the high achievers of this world. Let’s learn ways on how to achieve a go-getter attitude.
66
Bite-sized goals are important. They allow you to experience achievement and therefore allow you to reward yourself, finally contributing to the improvement of your motivation and driving you to achieve more.
Have a clear idea and be intentional (有心的)
67 , having detailed goals in mind, writing them down, and describing them are some of the first steps to be successful. Being intentional is to be willing to try new things and look for solutions. There is no point in doing something if you’re not intentional about what you do. 68 , even a small stone in your path will stop you.
Look at your mistakes as opportunities

(23-24高一下·黑龙江省哈尔滨师范大学青冈实验中学校·期中)How many times have you complained, “There aren’t enough hours in the day!?”
Holly Gabrielle White, a vlogger who graduated from the University of Cambridge, probably disagrees. After she began school in August 2016, White started a channel on the video-sharing website YouTube. 71 . Now she has more than 270,000 subscribers to her channel.
In her videos, the 22-year-old gets up at 6:30 am and goes to bed at 10:30 pm every day. In between, she balances studying, cooking, house cleaning and exercising. 72 .
A similar case happened to college students in China. Months ago, the official Tsinghua University microblog account showed pictures of students’ plans, study notes and daily schedules. In one of them, an undergraduate tightly arranges his daily life. He usually goes to bed at 1 :00 am and gets up at 6:00 am. Although he only takes 10 classes a week , the rest of his day will be fully booked. He starts his day by pre-reading his textbooks at 6: 40 am, and ends with a summary of his studies. 73 , he writes encouragements to himself, like, “You’re the best”, and “Go for it”.
Both students’ hard work has certainly paid off. White was at the top of her 152 other classmates and the Chinese undergraduate won a first-class scholarship four years in a row.
74 . They have regular schedules and get up early to study. They squeeze as much into the schedule as they can. More importantly, they learn a way of managing time well and efficiently.
Some may wonder how they can avoid exhaustion, stress and burnout. White’s video Time Management &Organization Tips All Students Should Know may provide an answer. She advises how to write our tasks in a set order on a to-do list. 75 , because, “Mental health is as important as our physical health.” To White, dancing is something she takes as a reward after completing everything on the list. Then get enough sleep to rest her body and get ready to do a good job the next day.
Indeed, things must be carefully planned before we act, and then “twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort”, as the old Chinese saying goes.
A.If he failed to follow the schedule
B.It records her daily life on campus
C.They all set good examples to us
D.The two have something in common
E.When he feels like it is hard to stick to his schedule
F.We should also know how to avoid and release stress
G.Sometimes she finds time to meet up with friends and speak to her family online
