In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others. 1 . Let’s take a look at some truths about inner beauty vs outer beauty. ● 2 Physical beauty varies greatly among individuals, with different people finding different features attractive. In contrast, inner beauty is often widely appreciated. Take Princess Diana, for example. While opinions on her physical attractiveness differed, everyone was impressed by her willingness to help others. ● Largely uncontrollable outer beauty, cultivable inner beauty Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments. 3 . You can read and educate yourself in all manner of different subjects for free via libraries, online videos, or academic resources. Getting involved in charitable works or nonprofit organizations is another great way to get that inner beauty growing. A giving heart and sincere care for others are two unparalleled qualities. 4 . ●Traits (特征) that people love most When asked what traits they most look for in a couple or a life partner, the vast majority of people name things that have absolutely nothing to do with outer beauty. Some of the top responses that make the average list are the following: kindness, loyalty, a good sense of humor, trustworthiness, a supportive nature, generosity, integrity, understanding and compassion. 5 . They coexist in a complex, beautiful dance that varies from person to person. True beauty surpasses appearance, rooted in the human spirit. It is subjective and cherished for who we are, not how we look. A．Great outer beauty, striking inner beauty B．However, inner beauty can be earned effortlessly C．Subjective outer beauty, universally visible inner beauty D．In contrast, you don’t need a cent to cultivate inner beauty E．Yet, we often adore the people most for their personality traits F．Inner beauty and outer beauty are not enemies but companions G．Even better, they can be developed by anyone in any circumstances （二） (福建省厦门市高三下学期一模) In psychology, the word “prove” is used carefully, much like a painter applies each brushstroke (笔触) with great care. Unlike the strong conclusions in physical sciences, psychological research builds a bigger picture through many small studies. 6 His discovery was not a sudden breakthrough but the result of hard and detailed work. Similarly, Elizabeth Loftus’s research doubts how accurate witness reports are. Instead of calling it “unreliable,” researchers use terms like “potential unreliability.” 7 So, they use words like “demonstrate” and “suggest” to show the uncertainty in their conclusions. 8 Instead, I teach my students to think critically about how to use it, much like a gardener who cares for plants. When students first use the word, I encourage them to think about factors that could challenge their conclusions. For example, I might ask them, “How do we know that not all participants had false memories?” Or, for French students, “Why might these findings not apply to French culture?” This approach helps students grasp the complexity of psychological research and develop critical thinking skills. It encourages them to reflect and analyze, helping them communicate their findings with accuracy. 9 In psychology, “proving” something is like building a symphony. 10 In education, teaching critical thinking and clear language use is essential for understanding the core of psychological research. A．This indicates that findings might change. B．In my classroom, I do not ban the word “prove.” C．Each piece of evidence adds to a larger understanding. D．Psychological theories are often revised as new evidence emerges. E．As a teacher, I often remind my students to use this word appropriately. F．This method also builds appreciation for the depth of psychological inquiry. G．For example, Eric Kandel spent years studying sea animals to learn how memory works. （三） (2025届福建省泉州市永春县永春第一中学高三下学期一模) There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 11 Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 12 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years. The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 13 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones. 14 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits. The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 15 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security. A．Billions of people rely on fish for protein. B．Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish. C．Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low. D．This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”. E．None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry. F．Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife. G．This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught. （四） (2025届福建省宁德市一级达标学校高三下学期一模) Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many people surrounding the tables. 16 The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth. 17 You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to serve the customers. You will usually hear the words ‘hot water’ being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! 18 In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service. When the waiter comes to take your order, he is usually impatient. If customers can’t decide, the waiters might just walk away, making it hard for them to get attention again. The waiters often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. 19 Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiters will ask customers to share their tables with those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness becomes incredibly deafening. With the noise of clanging plates and loud voices, you must raise your voice to be heard. 20 The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down, enjoying a chat or a cigarette. The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover before the next day of madness arrives. A．This is in fact their smart way of clearing the way. B．They will be watching for a table that might be available soon. C．Don’t give up. D．By the midnight the crowd begins to thin and the noise dies down E．They are occupied around the clock. F．However, finding a seat doesn’t mean the end of waiting. G．This behavior makes the place feel very busy. （五） (2025届福建省宁德市蕉城区宁德第一中学高三下学期一模) My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant because of the different classes. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together and having a better friend. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding.  We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. Time will help you screen the right people. The true bonds won’t be changed by anything. If you don’t value it, countless regret will come to you some day when you can’t get it again. 21．What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A．Conflicts over college applications. B．Differences in academic performance. C．Different approaches to their group project. D．Varied priorities about their final year. 22．What made them restore their friendship? A．Their friends’ assistance. B．A school teacher’s intervention. C．Working on a school project together. D．Taking a timely break from each other. 23．How did the author feel after making up with Emily? A．Anxious. B．Relieved. C．Stressed. D．Uncertain. 24．Which of the following suits the story best? A．A friend is easier lost than found. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．True friendship can stand the test of huge conflicts or quarrels. D．Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again. （六） (2025届福建省漳州市高三下学期一模) Forget privacy, young internet users want to be tracked On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. 25 And this tech is marketed as convenient, not frightening. What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. 26 A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. 27 It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know? If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. 28 Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. 29 Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. A．It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. B．But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. C．Location sharing has been around for more than a decade. D．The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around. E．After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time. F．This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. G．Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd. （七） (2025届福建省泉州市高三下学期一模) Stress is unavoidable in life. We all face it daily, whether it is a small inconvenience or a major life challenge. Stress negatively affects all aspects of our lives both personally and professionally. 30 So what can we do about it? Here are some helpful tips to fight stress, defeat it and move on. Prioritize 31 The longer you let something sit, the more it will weigh on you and take up valuable brain space. Practice self-care Here are the key aspects to self-care that so often get forgotten： ●Drink water. Prevent tiredness, help digestion, your skin and your sleep. ●Stretch. Get oxygen flowing into your muscles before or during a stressful situation. ●Exercise regularly. Don’t let your busy schedule take priority over your health. ● 32 Read, take a bath, go for a run, listen to music, or phone a friend. Communicate Find a network of people who you can vent (宣泄) to. This is a fantastic way to reduce bringing work troubles and stress home with you. You have the opportunity to blow off the first build-up of steam. 33 Breathe Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your body, producing endorphins (内啡肽). They fight with cortisol, a chemical which is a result of anxiety or stress. Did you know breathing is responsible for most of your body’s detoxification (排毒) 34 This critical part of calming yourself down allows you the space and time to focus on the problem at hand and have a quiet mind to tackle what’s ahead of you. A．Find time for you. B．Read and practice more. C．Cross off the most stressful tasks first. D．So you can go home a bit more calm and sensible. E．In this way you can communicate with whoever you like to. F．It can harm our bodies, our relationships and our overall quality of life. G．It also increases energy, lowers blood pressure and slows your heartbeat. （八） (2025届河南省五市高三下学期一模) We are all creatures of habit. We tend to wake up at the same time each day, brush our teeth, have morning coffee and travel to work, following the same patterns every day. 35 Behavioral scientists who study habit formation say that many of us try to create healthy habits the wrong way. 36 Here are two tips, backed by research, for forming new healthy habits. 37 For many of us, our morning routine is the strongest, so that’s a great place to build a new habit. While brushing your teeth, you might stand on one foot to practice balance. Many of us fall into end-of-the-day patterns as well. Do you tend to sink into the sofa after work and turn on the TV? That might be a good time to do a single daily yoga pose. 38 Wendy Wood, a research psychologist, calls the forces that get in the way of good habits “friction”. In one study, researchers changed the turning of lift doors so that workers had to wait nearly half a minute for the doors to close. 39 Many people are therefore convinced that taking the stairs was easier than waiting for the lift. It shows how sensitive we are to small friction in our environment. Just slowing down the lift got people to take the stairs, and they stuck with it even after the lift went back to normal timing. A．It was just enough of a delay. B．Why do we stop doing what’s good for us? C．But why is it so hard to form new healthy habits? D．We probably form new habits when we clear away the barriers. E．The better way to form a new habit is to tie it to an existing habit. F．It explains why friction prevents the progress of forming good habits. G．For example, we set big goals to lose weight without taking proper steps. （九） (福建省泉州市泉港区第二中学高三下学期一模) In early October, Travis Gienger transported an enormous pumpkin (南瓜) from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California. His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America. How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes? 40 Gienger, who teaches horticulture (园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty. 41 They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there. “At their peak, you’re watering them with at least 600 liters a day, ” he says. Depending on the variety, pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine (藤曼) . But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit’s competition for resources. 42 But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows? Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit’s life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants. 43 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉). 44 Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety. This has led to competition for the best seeds. Following each harvest, many growers auction off (拍卖掉) the seeds from their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used for the following year’s plantings. A．Biology has the answers. B．Genetics also influences pumpkin growth. C．The following tips will give you a head start. D．Once it warms up, the plants are transferred outside. E．When it stops, cell expansion will then come into play. F．Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible. G．Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason. 6 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04 阅读理解七选五 考查范围：主题、语篇范围 题号 难度 知识点 一、阅读理解七选五 1 适中 科普知识 2 较难 方法/策略 3 适中 动物,人与动植物 4 较易 日常生活 5 适中 友谊,记叙文 6 较难 信息技术 ,社会问题与社会现象 7 适中 方法/策略,认识压力 8 适中 方法/策略,习惯养成教育 9 适中 植物,自然科学 （一） (2025届福建省龙岩市高三下学期一模) There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place.

This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”（这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降，其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注，因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代）可知，选项承接上下文说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低。故C选项“不幸的是，它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。故选C项。 14．根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”（深海鱼类被捕获，仿佛它们是沙丁鱼和鲱鱼等快速繁殖的鱼类。这就像把大象当作繁殖速度飞快的兔子杀死一样）可知，渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”故选E项。 15．根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”（数百万人以渔业为生）可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。故选A项。 （四） (2025届福建省宁德市一级达标学校高三下学期一模) Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many people surrounding the tables. 16 The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth. 17 You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to serve the customers. You will usually hear the words ‘hot water’ being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! 18 In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service. When the waiter comes to take your order, he is usually impatient. If customers can’t decide, the waiters might just walk away, making it hard for them to get attention again. The waiters often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. 19 Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiters will ask customers to share their tables with those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness becomes incredibly deafening. With the noise of clanging plates and loud voices, you must raise your voice to be heard. 20 The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down, enjoying a chat or a cigarette. The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover before the next day of madness arrives. A．This is in fact their smart way of clearing the way. B．They will be watching for a table that might be available soon. C．Don’t give up. D．By the midnight the crowd begins to thin and the noise dies down E．They are occupied around the clock.

Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget. My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant because of the different classes. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together and having a better friend. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things. One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding.  We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other. Time will help you screen the right people. The true bonds won’t be changed by anything. If you don’t value it, countless regret will come to you some day when you can’t get it again. 21．What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily? A．Conflicts over college applications. B．Differences in academic performance. C．Different approaches to their group project. D．Varied priorities about their final year. 22．What made them restore their friendship? A．Their friends’ assistance. B．A school teacher’s intervention. C．Working on a school project together. D．Taking a timely break from each other. 23．How did the author feel after making up with Emily? A．Anxious. B．Relieved. C．Stressed. D．Uncertain. 24．Which of the following suits the story best? A．A friend is easier lost than found. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．True friendship can stand the test of huge conflicts or quarrels. D．Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．B 24．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和好朋友因为最后一年优先事项各不相同导致了关系紧张，最后通过一起完成学校项目修复了友谊的故事。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Emily and I became distant because of the different classes.

What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. 26 A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. 27 It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know? If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. 28 Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. 29 Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. A．It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. B．But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. C．Location sharing has been around for more than a decade. D．The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around. E．After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time. F．This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. G．Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd. 【答案】25．G 26．B 27．F 28．A 29．D 【导语】本文的一篇议论文。文章讨论了不同年龄段的人对位置追踪技术的态度差异，年轻人更愿意分享位置信息以提高安全感，而年长者则较为保守。文章还探讨了位置追踪的潜在规则和未来趋势。 25．根据上文“On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. (每部智能手机上都有一个跟踪器的天堂，其中包含可供共享的位置数据。)”可知，本句应继续描述位置追踪的精确性，G选项“Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd. (位置追踪非常精确，可以在人群中定位一个人。)”符合语境。故选G。 26．由上文“What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. (什么是可以接受的在线监控水平？我认为我们都同意理想的情况是没有监控。)”和下文“But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. (快速询问我的朋友发现，那些像我一样40多岁及以上的人要么不知道他们可以这样使用手机，要么对这样做兴趣相对不大。)”可知，空处与上文构成转折关系，而且在线监控水平的流行程度因年龄而各有不同，B选项“But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. (但事实是它的流行程度取决于你的年龄。)”符合语境。故选B。 27．由上文“They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. (他们不觉得这种监控或被监控的想法令人不安。他们说这让他们感到更安全。)”可知，本句应解释他们的态度，F选项“This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. (这并不是因为他们对在线隐私的重要性视而不见。)”承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 28．由上文“And think carefully about whom you share data with. (并仔细考虑与谁共享数据。)”可知，本句应描述共享数据的对象，A选项“It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. (这仅限于家人和亲密朋友，而不是新约会对象。)”符合语境。故选A。 29．上文“Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. (位置跟踪作为一种安全措施，特别是对老年父母和孩子来说，很有吸引力。)”，说明位置跟踪的优势，结合下文“Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. (一旦你习惯于与家人和朋友分享你的位置，也许有一天你会很乐意与你的雇主甚至政府机构分享。)”可知，空格处承上启下，描述频繁使用位置追踪的风险，D项“The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around.

We all face it daily, whether it is a small inconvenience or a major life challenge. Stress negatively affects all aspects of our lives both personally and professionally. 30 So what can we do about it? Here are some helpful tips to fight stress, defeat it and move on. Prioritize 31 The longer you let something sit, the more it will weigh on you and take up valuable brain space. Practice self-care Here are the key aspects to self-care that so often get forgotten： ●Drink water. Prevent tiredness, help digestion, your skin and your sleep. ●Stretch. Get oxygen flowing into your muscles before or during a stressful situation. ●Exercise regularly. Don’t let your busy schedule take priority over your health. ● 32 Read, take a bath, go for a run, listen to music, or phone a friend. Communicate Find a network of people who you can vent (宣泄) to. This is a fantastic way to reduce bringing work troubles and stress home with you. You have the opportunity to blow off the first build-up of steam. 33 Breathe Breathing deeply brings more oxygen into your body, producing endorphins (内啡肽). They fight with cortisol, a chemical which is a result of anxiety or stress. Did you know breathing is responsible for most of your body’s detoxification (排毒) 34 This critical part of calming yourself down allows you the space and time to focus on the problem at hand and have a quiet mind to tackle what’s ahead of you. A．Find time for you. B．Read and practice more. C．Cross off the most stressful tasks first. D．So you can go home a bit more calm and sensible.

We tend to wake up at the same time each day, brush our teeth, have morning coffee and travel to work, following the same patterns every day. 35 Behavioral scientists who study habit formation say that many of us try to create healthy habits the wrong way. 36 Here are two tips, backed by research, for forming new healthy habits. 37 For many of us, our morning routine is the strongest, so that’s a great place to build a new habit. While brushing your teeth, you might stand on one foot to practice balance. Many of us fall into end-of-the-day patterns as well. Do you tend to sink into the sofa after work and turn on the TV? That might be a good time to do a single daily yoga pose. 38 Wendy Wood, a research psychologist, calls the forces that get in the way of good habits “friction”. In one study, researchers changed the turning of lift doors so that workers had to wait nearly half a minute for the doors to close. 39 Many people are therefore convinced that taking the stairs was easier than waiting for the lift. It shows how sensitive we are to small friction in our environment. Just slowing down the lift got people to take the stairs, and they stuck with it even after the lift went back to normal timing. A．It was just enough of a delay. B．Why do we stop doing what’s good for us? C．But why is it so hard to form new healthy habits? D．We probably form new habits when we clear away the barriers. E．The better way to form a new habit is to tie it to an existing habit. F．It explains why friction prevents the progress of forming good habits. G．For example, we set big goals to lose weight without taking proper steps. 【答案】35．C 36．G 37．E 38．D 39．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了形成新的健康习惯的两个小技巧。 35．上文“We are all creatures of habit. We tend to wake up at the same time each day, brush our teeth, have morning coffee and travel to work, following the same patterns every day.(我们都是有习惯的生物。我们倾向于每天在同一时间醒来，刷牙，喝早间咖啡，然后去上班，每天遵循相同的模式)”指出人倾向于遵循相同的模式，是习惯型生物，喜欢按习惯行事，但下文“Behavioral scientists who study habit formation say that many of us try to create healthy habits the wrong way.(研究习惯形成的行为科学家说，我们中的许多人试图以错误的方式养成健康的习惯)”却说健康的习惯很难养成，上下文有转折关系。C选项“但是为什么形成新的健康习惯如此困难呢？”承上启下，引出喜欢按习惯行事的人们却难以养成新的健康习惯这一矛盾，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 36．上文“...many of us try to create healthy habits the wrong way.(许多人试图以错误的方式养成健康的习惯)”指出许多人试图以错误的方式养成健康的习惯。G选项“例如，我们设定了减肥的大目标，却没有采取适当的步骤”以减肥为例，说明了我们试图用错误的方式来养成健康的习惯，即设定了不切实际的大目标而没有采取适当的步骤，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 37．下文“For many of us, our morning routine is the strongest, so that’s a great place to build a new habit.(对我们中的许多人来说，早晨的日常习惯是最强烈的，所以这是一个建立新习惯的好地方)”提出利用早晨的日常习惯来建立新的习惯，即“将新习惯与现有的习惯联系起来”，是对E选项“形成新习惯的更好方法是将其与现有的习惯联系起来”这一观点的阐述和说明。故选E项。 38．下文“Wendy Wood, a research psychologist, calls the forces that get in the way of good habits ‘friction’ (研究心理学家温迪·伍德把阻碍养成好习惯的力量称为“阻力”)”提到阻碍养成好习惯的“friction(阻力)”，与D选项“We probably form new habits when we clear away the barriers.(当我们清除“障碍”时，我们可能会形成新的习惯)”中“barriers”相照应，即克服阻力或者清除障碍就能形成新的习惯，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 39．上文“In one study, researchers changed the turning of lift doors so that workers had to wait nearly half a minute for the doors to close.(在一项研究中，研究人员改变了电梯门的转动方式，这样工人们就不得不等近半分钟才能关门)”提出研究人员改变了电梯门的转动方式导致工人们需要等待近半分钟的时间。A选项“这只是足够的延迟”承接上文，解释了研究人员这样做的目的，同时引出了下文“Many people are therefore convinced that taking the stairs was easier than waiting for the lift.(因此，许多人相信走楼梯比等电梯更容易)”这一行为的结果，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 （九） (福建省泉州市泉港区第二中学高三下学期一模) In early October, Travis Gienger transported an enormous pumpkin (南瓜) from his home in Minnesota to the World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in California. His pumpkin set the record for the biggest one ever grown in North America. How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes? 40 Gienger, who teaches horticulture (园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty. 41 They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there. “At their peak, you’re watering them with at least 600 liters a day, ” he says. Depending on the variety, pumpkin plants can grow up to a dozen fruits on a single vine (藤曼) . But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit’s competition for resources. 42 But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grows? Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit’s life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants. 43 Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉). 44 Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety. This has led to competition for the best seeds. Following each harvest, many growers auction off (拍卖掉) the seeds from their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used for the following year’s plantings. A．Biology has the answers. B．Genetics also influences pumpkin growth. C．The following tips will give you a head start. D．Once it warms up, the plants are transferred outside. E．When it stops, cell expansion will then come into play. F．Growers extend the growth period for as long as possible. G．Growers also remove the weeds in the area for the same reason. 【答案】40．A 41．D 42．G 43．E 44．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章从生物学的角度解释了种植者是如何让他们的南瓜长得很大的。 40．根据前文“How do competitive growers get their pumpkins to grow to massive sizes?(有竞争力的种植者是如何让他们的南瓜长得很大的呢？)”可知，此处承接上文，揭开这个问题的答案所在。所以选项A“生物学有答案。”切合文意。故选A。 41．根据前文“Gienger, who teaches horticulture (园艺学) at Anoka Technical College, begins growing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grows indoors for the first few weeks, when Minnesota’s soil is too frosty.(在阿诺卡技术学院教授园艺学的吉格尔从4月中旬开始种植南瓜，在明尼苏达州土壤太冷的前几周，他先在室内种植种子。)”和后文“They can absorb sunlight, nutrients from the soil, and water there.(它们可以从土壤中吸收阳光、养分和水分。)”可知，此处是指天暖和起来就把植物移到外面，所以选项D“一旦天气变暖，这些植物就被转移到室外。”切合文意。故选D。 42．根据前文“But to maximize size, growers remove all but one or two of these pumpkins in order to decrease each individual fruit’s competition for resources.(但为了最大限度地扩大南瓜的大小，种植者只保留一两个南瓜，以减少每个果实对资源的竞争。)”可知，此处是指为了确保单个果实获得足够的养分，种植者也会去除杂草，所以选项G“种植者也出于同样的原因清除该地区的杂草。”切合文意。故选G。 43．根据前文“Two factors drive natural growth: cell division and cell expansion. Cell division accounts for most of the growth at the beginning of a fruit’s life. This period lasts for about 20 days in pumpkin plants.(驱动自然生长的因素有两个：细胞分裂和细胞扩张。细胞分裂是果实生长初期的主要过程。这个时期在南瓜植株中持续大约20天。)”和后文“Pumpkin cells will expand until around 50 or 60 days after pollination (授粉).(南瓜的细胞会在授粉后50或60天左右扩张。)”可知，此处是指当细胞分裂结束，细胞扩张就开始了，所以选项E“当它停止时，细胞扩张就会开始发挥作用。”切合文意。故选E。 44．根据后文“Some varieties of pumpkins have been bred specifically to maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variation even among pumpkins of the same variety.(一些品种的南瓜是专门培育的，以最大限度地提高它们的大小。尽管如此，即使在同一品种的南瓜之间也存在遗传变异。)”可知，此处是指基因也会影响南瓜的大小。所以选项B“基因也会影响南瓜的生长。”切合文意。故选B。 1 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
