Struggling to accept its existence only brings more pain. Accepting depression helps you become open to figuring out what led to the depression.

It may sound simple, but it’s effective D. Engaging in physical exercise does wonders E. This doesn’t mean just telling yourself everything’s fine F.

Don’t waste your precious days off. 1 You can find things to fill your days, both inside and out, using your mind or your creative energies, or simply hanging out with other people. 2 Simple outdoor pleasures are often overlooked. Not only is a quick trip out of the house refreshing and mood-lifting, but it is also a great opportunity for exercise. If you have been thinking of getting in shape, then go out and jog, walk, or do any outdoor physical activity you enjoy. A walk in nature always brightens the mood. Go on an adventure with a friend. 3 Visit a town you have never been to, or go for a walk in the woods. Remember to practice good safety habits when exploring a new area and take a charged mobile phone with you. Get chores and tasks out of the way. The holidays are one of the few times each year when most people have lots of free time. If you have no pressing commitments with family or friends, consider using your time to finish duties that you’ve been putting off for a long time. 4 Other good ideas include running errands, paying bills, re-organizing your closet, and servicing your car. Get to know more people. If there’s no one around that you’d like to spend time with, don’t forget that you always have the option of making new friends. You might choose to do this at a social hang-out spot like a club, or at an event like a concert. Don’t be afraid to approach and talk to people you meet. 5 A. Step out into the fresh air. B. Pick gentle exercise outside. C. New friendships have to start somewhere! D. Here are some ways to help you sit around. E. Grab a companion and try to find cool places to explore. F. There are many ways to keep busy, even during week-long holidays. G. For instance, if you haven’t cleaned your room; devote an afternoon to it. Passage 3 (2025河北省部分重点高中高三下学期调研考试)There are some ways to boost your mental health. Some are tried-and-true; exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Over the years, my colleagues have reported on 5 other self-care tips that are backed by science and fairly easy to access. Spend more time in nature. There’s evidence that it really can help reduce stress and keep you healthy. 1 But if you’re not able to get outdoors, experts say there are helpful things you can do to bring nature to you instead, like opening a window to let in a fresh light wind or using nature-inspired smells. Organize your space. “You’ll feel less exhausted if you can learn how to sort and become organized,” said Joseph Ferrari, a distinguished professor of psychology, 2 Ferrari had some great research-backed recommendations for how to get started. 3 I’ve always known that frozen pizza and chips are bad for my physical health. But I didn’t realize until I read Janis Jibrin’s story in November that people whose diets are high in these processed foods—which also include soda, candy and energy bars-had a 44 percent greater risk of depression and 48 percent higher risk of anxiety. Stimulate your feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). 4 A 2023 story offers a few examples of how to get high on your own hormones—ranging from the dopamine rush you get from something as simple as finishing a task to the burst of stress-relief hormone from playing with your pet. Plan a trip. Many of us can’t afford a vacation in a world where there’s not much we can control. Well, it turns out that even just planning a vacation can make a difference. As my colleagues on our travel team reported during the pandemic(流行病), research shows that anticipating a trip “can increase a person’s happiness substantially”. 5 A. Ready to give it a shot? B. Eat more of these foods instead. C. Cut back on ultra-processed foods. D. But what if you don’t have the vacation? E. Many people seem to particularly love “forest bathing”. F. Maybe it’s time to start planning a trip to some hot spots. G. Beyond food, there are other ways to bring joy into your life. Passage 4 (2025河北省承德市、张家口市高三下学期一模)Most of us struggle for self-respect. Any comments or experiences that weaken our feelings of self-worth can be uncomfortable. But the thing is, whether your self-worth really is being weakened is, to a large degree, subjective. 1 When you take things personally, you’re interpreting these situations as saying something negative about you. Say your friends cancel your planned get-together. 2 Psychologists have a term for this mindset: personalisation. But the reality might be that your friends felt unwell that weekend. In examples like this, there’s another process at work that psychologists call mind reading. This is when you assume to know what other people are thinking about you when you can’t really know without asking them directly. 3 One simple way to avoid these mindsets is to challenge your negative assumptions. When you find yourself taking a situation personally, try to think of other interpretations that are less focused on you. When receiving criticism, try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. 4 For instance, the person giving feedback might also feel nervous about delivering it. This mindset can transform criticism into a learning opportunity and strengthen relationships. Wanting to be proud of yourself is healthy. 5 Try to take pride in your efforts, good intentions and achievements. This shift in focus will also help you become less sensitive and less likely to take things personally. A. But pride comes in different forms. B. Try to see yourself in a positive light. C. But they might think very highly of you. D. You may interpret this as meaning they’re bored of you. E. Much of it depends on your perception of what someone said or did. F. When you do this, you’ll be able to see things from their point of view. G. When assuming your friends are bored of you, you’re engaging in mind reading. Passage 5 (2025江苏省南通、泰州、镇江等市高三上学期第一次调研测试) How to handle criticism in a healthy way Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger(引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. 1 Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage. Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. 2 Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. 3 Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement. 4 If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to. Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. 5 Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful. A. Respond calmly. B. Practice active listening. C. It is quite normal to feel hurt. D. It can be an opportunity to improve. E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence. F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings. G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment. Passage 6 2025江苏省南通市如皋市高三下上学期适应性考试(一) Over the years I spent researching how news consumption impacts our mental well-being many people doubted my efforts. 1 Below are effective ways to help you become more informed. Read good-quality journalism The conflict between good quality journalism and profitability is not just a problem for the industry; it is our problem to solve too.  Poor-quality information will lead to poor-quality decisions. 2 Let us be the ones to make quality news profitable and abundant once again. Be prepared to pay for content 3 If we are not paying for the content we read to be produced, someone else is. And news organizations will ultimately answer to whoever is paying the bills. So, it is simple. we must be prepared to pay for news content. This can be done through buying the newspaper or magazine, subscribing either online or offline or simply donating to news organizations that value good-quality journalism. 4 We do not have to only rely on news organizations to educate us on world issues. In our information-rich environment, there are plenty of other valuable sources available. Novels allows us to develop feelings of empathy and understanding of others. Nonfiction books give us well-researched depth, insight and knowledge. Become a conscious consumer In the words of media mogul(大亨) Rupert Murdoch, news organizations are just ‘giving the people what they want’. Well, let us change what we want, and they will give us something different. Change will not take place unless those who are expected to change know and accept the reasons, the methods, and the rewards for changing. 5 A. Our actions do matter. B. Read beyond the news C. Seek out solutions-focused sources D. There is no such thing as a free lunch. E. But we have the power to adjust our media intake. F. So let’s adjust ourselves to the change of the world. G. Those who learn the ‘why’ of anything will always find the ‘how’. Passage 7 (2025湖北省部分高中协作体高三年级三月联考一模)Certain people seem to have effortless and calm mornings. ____1____ How can we have a productive morning like them? These tips below from experts can help you a lot. ____2____ “Waking up 10 to 15 minutes earlier can be enough to make a difference,” suggests Jodie Watson. Getting those first few minutes to yourself before being pulled in a million directions really helps you get a jump start on the day. They complete tasks in the same order. “____3____ You probably follow an order when you brush your teeth or take a shower because they’re a habit. It’s the same theory for the rest of your routine” Casey Osmundson says “The more you practice completing a task, the less you’ll have to consciously think about each step. What once seemed like a challenge will soon feel more like second nature.” They identify several things for a successful day. Author Laura Vanderkam says, “Organized people think through their days. At the beginning of the day, they ask, ‘What do I need to do to make this a good day? What things can make me feel like the day is a success? ____4____ And they’ll try to finish them.” They set realistic morning goals. “Add one thing at a time, and limit the number of tasks to be completed,” suggests Watson. If you try to change everything all at once, you’ll burn out and want to quit. She says, “Your routine should be the basics that you need to complete. If you have other must-do tasks each day, simplify them or spread them out differently on your schedule. ____5____” A. They try to be the first one up. B. They start their to-do list the night before. C. Thus, you will avoid wearing yourself out. D. It’s because they often make schedules in advance. E. Then they figure out when these things can be scheduled. F. This is as though you’re creating muscle memory for your tasks. G. But many of us rush through early hours in the morning with chaos. Passage 8 (2025·河南新乡·一模)Whether you are attracted by landscapes, landmarks, or the after-effects of weather, there are photo opportunities everywhere. 1 ●Going in close can bring some fascinating rewards in nature photography. Zooming into a delicate flower or capturing(捕捉) insects larger than life can help show the beauty we might miss in everyday life. 2 If you’re zooming in on one particular subject, such as a bee landing on a flower, you could end up with soft-focus objects in the background to create added interest. ● 3 A shadow or lots of natural sunlight can produce great results - it’s just best to avoid extremes Too much bright light on a camera lens(镜头) can cause a photo to be unclear. A dark sky with stars looks great, but it might make a big difference between the background and what you’re taking a picture of. When you’ve found your ideal outdoor location, why not try capturing it during a golden hour sunset and see what happens? ●Once you’ve found a location, think about where to place your main subject in the picture, what angle to shoot from, and the details you want to capture. It’s good to avoid too much unnecessary space or just centring your image in the frame. 4 ●Keeping the camera steady is important, whether you stand firm or use a tool to do so. A self-timer can also be a handy tool for keeping your hands away from dials and settings once you have chosen your shot. Learning to master shutter (快门) speed is a more advanced skill. 5 If your picture is all about animals, then the shutter speed needs to be fast enough to stop movement in the frame as you click. A. Avoid places that are too sunny. B. Experiment with how close you can hold the camera. C. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to timing. D. Here are four ways to help inspire the best outdoor photos. E. An appropriately fast shutter speed can save you in this situation. F. It’s also important to accurately shoot the landscape as it truly looks. G. However, it brings rewards if you want to capture movement in wildlife. Passage 9 (2025河南省信阳市高三第一次教学质量检测(一模))Snakes are the last thing you want to find in your yard or garden, much less in your house. Unfortunately, there's no surefire way to keep snakes away from your building. But don't despair. ____1____. Keep the area around your house clear of overgrown bushes and grass Homeowners should start by keeping their grass at a short or reasonable length. Snakes are cautious about moving across trimmed bushes and grass as these expose them to predators. ____2____. Get rid of hiding spots Reduce or get rid of places where snakes like to hide. One such place is under bushes. Also, ground-cover plants offer hiding places for snakes. ____3___. Another landscape feature to note is large rocks piled together. Avoid these as they are great hiding and cooling places for snakes. ____4____ Homeowners need to check the foundation for possible snake entry points. Snakes will enter under your house if they can. Make sure to seal any cracks or openings a snake could fit through. Doors can also be an access point for snakes. Block these openings. Remove sources of food Snakes are carnivores that eat meat, so they look for mice, rats and even birds. There are steps homeowners can take to avoid attracting these animals and, in turn, snakes. ____5____. This will attract the animals, which will then attract the snakes. It's fine to feed your pets outdoors, just remember to remove any uneaten food. A. Seal off entrances to the house B. How to handle a snake encounter C. There are measures that you can take D. One is to avoid leaving cat or dog food outdoors E. Try to limit the use of such plants in your garden F. So it's advisable to regularly trim bushes and grass around your house G. The methods homeowners can use to keep snakes at bay are of two kinds Passage 10 (2025河南省豫西北教研联盟(许洛平)高三一模)Sometimes, deciding which projects should be your top priority can be energy-consuming when you don’t have much to spare. ___1___, even when you’re clear about the tasks at hand. Try the 3-3-3 method. This technique is proposed by Oliver Burkeman, who suggests planning each workday based on a 3-3-3 model. ___2__. But you have to be sure the work is on your most crucial project. Next, complete three other urgent tasks that don’t demand three hours of concentrated effort. Finally, undertake three“maintenance” tasks, such as cleaning, replying to emails, or scheduling other work. ___3___. It categorizes your responsibilities based on urgency and importance. You’ll need to consider not only the timeliness of the tasks you need to do but also the resources they will consume. What sets this method apart from other productivity strategies is those initial three hours of deep work. Starting with them means you’ll be fresh, concentrated, and more likely to be able to start a task without getting diverted(分心的). __4___ Deep work leads to significant productivity. So, you’ll achieve a lot if you commit to it. ___5___. It’s advisable to have those three other, smaller tasks lined up and ready so that you can remain productive even when switching to less demanding responsibilities. Finally, maintenance tasks provide a break and help with preparation. Finalize what you were working on during three intense hours. Or get ready for the next day’s work. A. The 3-3-3 method helps classify tasks B. Having smaller tasks ready is beneficial C. Set off by devoting three hours to deep work D. Keep those three hours free from minor duties E. The 3-3-3 method is better than other strategies F. However, you can’t remain in that mindset forever G. But you still need to figure out how to prioritize them Passage 11 (2025河南省创新发展联盟高三下学期一模)You’re probably familiar with the term “zero waste”. It gets mentioned frequently alongside climate change and global warming. The energy used in incinerating(焚烧) waste is quickly warming the earth. So, maybe it’s time to consider it seriously. Starting your journey to a zero-waste lifestyle may be difficult. 1 . The sooner you can start making even small changes, the better. The following are tips for working your way into a zero-waste lifestyle. ☆Reduce packaging One step you can take is to reduce the amount of packaging you’ re purchasing. Sure, those snack packs of chips may be great for portion control, but the same effect can be achieved by buying them in bulk(散装) and separating them into separate, reusable containers. 2 . Not only are you supporting the small businesses in your community, but you’ re also reducing the amount of trash you’ re producing. You can even bring your own bags! ☆Use reusable bags On the topic of bags, it’s time to stop using plastic grocery bags as well. In fact, since many grocery stores have started charging for bags, there’s been a decrease in bags bought. Oftentimes, the money spent on those bags has been funneled into community recycling resources. 3 , which is great news for the environment. ☆ 4 You can buy reusable bags in a lot of shops now, and you don’t even have to go for the branded ones. If you’re feeling more fashion-forward, there are a lot of gorgeous grocery bags on the market. And if you’re handy, you can even crochet(编织) one using the plastic bags you already have on hand. ☆Go to your local thrift store(旧货店) Thrift stores are also great for household items like dishes, linens, and toys for children. Instead of buying a cheap sweater from one of the many fast fashion brands out there, try checking out a local or online thrift store. 5 . A. Stay away from single-use items B. Avoid items with a single function C. Plenty of high-quality clothing ends up there D. However, every person matters in this situation E. Some cities have even gone so far as to ban them F. You can shop for items made from natural materials G. Try shopping at your local food stores for your essentials Passage 12 (2025河南省名校联盟高三第六次联考(一模))In the competitive job market, the best advice for job seekers is to move away from mass-submitting résumés(简历) and instead focus on sending thoughtful cold emails. 1 . They are clarity about your goals, effective articulation, and identifying the right recipient. The process begins by creating a targeted list of dream companies, specific roles, and relevant contacts. 2 — understand their responses to market shifts, analyze brand messaging, and observe key employees’ online presence. This research forms the foundation for a well-informed perspective on the company, which will inform your email content. When crafting your email, follow a proven framework: Confirm Job Availability: Start with a direct question like “ 3 ?” This initiates dialogue and sets the stage for a meaningful response, avoiding generic introductions. Demonstrate Research-Based Context: Share insights about recent developments at the company or within its market. Highlighting a recent product launch, strategic initiative, or new partnership shows genuine interest and aligns your goals with the company’s objectives. Highlight Your Strengths: Connect your skills directly to the company’s needs. Explain how your strengths can contribute to their growth, solve problems, or enhance their competitive edge. 4 . Analysis of millions of successful emails shows that the most effective ones are between 25-50 words and written at a third-to fifth-grade reading level. Short paragraphs and simple sentences yield better engagement. Personalized, thoughtful emailing is a game-changer. Although only 4.1% of emails are manually personalized, those who invest the effort see significant rewards. For job seekers willing to go the extra mile, this approach offers substantial benefits. In summary, transitioning from mass submissions to personalized cold emails requires effort. 5 . A. Additionally, simplicity is crucial B. Are you still hiring for a marketing manager C. Conduct in-depth research into these organizations D. May I have the honor to invite you to dinner someday E. Success with this approach depends on three key elements F. However, it can significantly improve your chances of landing the desired role G. Therefore, some job seekers ensure their résumés are packed with keywords Passage 13 (2025·山东泰安·一模)When you tend to talk too much, people undervalue what it is that you bring to the table, which means being too talkative can lead to issues with socializing and making friends. But how to be less talkative? 1 . When the other person suggests that they want to talk, do something to show that they have your full, undivided attention. Close the book you're reading or put down your phone and face your body towards them with open arms to show them that you’re ready to listen. Think before you respond. Always try to think twice before you speak. 2 , think about questions to ask that can grant you clarity. Avoid saying more than you have to be by taking a moment to reflect after the speaker asks you for your opinion. Only speak on something when it is appropriate. Discuss what makes sense and try to stay away from examples that may seem irrelevant, unreasonable, and ambiguous 3 , if you don’t know what you want to say. For example, “What does this mean? Who can we hold responsible, how, and why?” This encourages others to speak more. Keep conversations balanced by asking questions. In balanced conversations, people say what they have to say. Rather than talking until something comes up, balance the conversation by saying things like “Enough about me. What do you think?” and “I know we’ve been talking a lot about my opinion, I want to hear your opinion, too!” If you have a question about something or need clarification, don’t interrupt the person while they’re talking. 4 . Practice staying on topic by challenging and recording yourself. Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic. 5 . Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds. This exercise can help you stay on topic and avoid wandering. A. Observe body language B. Show your willingness to listen C. Ask more investigative questions D. If you are confused about the topic at hand E. If you find yourself interrupting others or talking over them F. Instead, wait for them to finish their thought and then respond G. If so, challenge yourself to make your point in under one minute Passage 14 (2025·山东德州·一模)I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies. It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. 1 Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip. 2 Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations. Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary(行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? 3 The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip. Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? 4 I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching. Some people need a break to recharge or sleep and others may want to work out or read a book. 5 It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish. A. It pays to tour with friends. B. I believe it’s a mixture of both. C. Don’t forget to block out alone time. D. Be frank about your budget and preferences. E. If the answer is yes, you’ll have to make a change. F. There is no point in complaining about external disturbance. G. Setting schedule expectations helps you plan the trip effectively. Passage 15 (2025·山东济宁·一模)As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles. 1 Throughout their careers, leaders are conditioned to come up with the final, correct answer. Given that human's brains are hardwired to see uncertainty as a risk or threat, it’s physiologically normal to feel stress when faced with unfamiliar situations. Sadly, in the world of leadership training, we often celebrate qualities like decisiveness, innovation, and resilience(抗逆力). 2 Without it, even the most talented leaders struggle to sustain their success. According to the psychological definition, frustration tolerance involves the capacity to bear discomfort, regulate emotional responses, and maintain a forward mindset in the face of challenges. 3 It not only allows leaders to stand the discomfort of building something meaningful without giving up but also helps them stay grounded and purposeful, even when immediate results aren’t what they hoped for. 4 Leaders can train their frustration tolerance by pursuing goals outside of leadership that don’t offer instant rewards. Try going to the gym teaching discipline, patience, and the value of gradual progress. These experiences build resilience and reinforce frustration tolerance as a transferable skill. 5 Leadership and entrepreneurship are marathons, not sprints (冲刺) . Honoring your energy ensures you’re better equipped to handle frustration and maintain the stamina needed for long-term success. A. They quit their jobs out of the blue. B. Understandably, it’s easy for them to feel this way. C. In leadership, it is the unsung hero of long-term success. D. One vital skill — frustration tolerance — is often overlooked. E. Leadership can’t be defined by a one-size-fits-all approach. F. Developing frustration tolerance isn’t easy, but it’s possible. G. Also, remember to prioritize rest and create space to recharge. Passage 16 (2025·山东淄博·一模)Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature. While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. 1 When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important. 2 If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high. In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. 3 Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does. Most people are not sustainability conscious. 4 We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives. At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. 5 However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world. A. No rule fits all situations concerning this topic. B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved. C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations. D. The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules. E. Instead of being critical, take your time to learn from their practices. F. An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature, culture and social practices. G. The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism. Passage 17 (2025湖南省高考普通高中名校联考高三下学期第一次模拟考试) How to think outside the box Thinking creatively often involves more than just considering opposing viewpoints. ____1____ A break in our daily routine can offer the necessary push to change our thought patterns. ____2____ We can change our surroundings, for instance, by rearranging our workspace or trying a different path to commute. For some, though, more significant changes such as starting a new job or getting married might be necessary. A well-known approach is to tackle everyday situations as if experiencing them for the first time. In essence, we should examine them as if they were entirely novel to us. ____3____ For example, when brushing our teeth, pause to observe the toothbrush as if it were an unfamiliar object, noting its color and shape. Consider the taste of the toothpaste and pay attention to the sensation in our mouth as we brush. ____4___ The simple fact of having a group of individuals with varied experiences perspectives, and backgrounds in our daily life fosters an environment where people are more adaptable to change. Why? Because they are essential catalysts for the creation of new ideas and solutions. Unlike negative emotions that start specific responses (such as fear driving us to escape), positive emotions expand our focus, encourage exploration of our surroundings, and make us more receptive to new information. ____5____ They can be aspects of our life that are currently going well or thing we are thankful for. This transition to a more positive mindset will naturally lift our spirits—and liberate our thinking. A. It’s also helpful to seek for the difference. B. For some people, small changes might work. C. We should show respect for different cultures too. D. Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think. E. Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life. F. Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking. G. “Beginners’ mind” develops openness to experiences, despite early knowledge. Passage 18 (2025·山东菏泽·一模)Xena Biffert, a district science consultant, started to do a lot of backward planning when taking students outside to meet curricular(课程的) outcomes. This approach allows curriculum connection and encourages students’ focus and interest to lead the way. Here are four tips for practicing backward planning with your students. 1 Know your curriculum. Many topics arise organically, and you can cover them through mini-lessons along the way. One way to deepen that knowledge is to print it out and make a habit of reviewing it daily. 2 First, you develop a familiarity with it. Second, you can see where you can make that connection naturally where the students’ interests meet. Begin the year with a learning plan and a mind map. Having guiding questions has helped Xena form and follow a plan for the year. 3 For example, “How are we all interconnected?” and “What is our story?” She can assess outcomes using this plan throughout the school year. Get students outside regularly. 4 . This culture creates an opportunity to form and answer questions about what happens outdoors and how it connects to other topics. As the emergent learning arises and there is daily reflection on it, knowledge and understanding emerge. Through this intentional work and reflection, teachers will be well equipped to answer questions in the process. 5 It is important for students to reflect on their observations. We often don’t get time to reflect in our fast-paced classrooms. Often, reflection is combined with assessment. An easy starting point is journaling, because it is a thought process accessible to students in every grade. A. Outside learning builds a culture. B. Work out a plan for regular journaling. C. Make time for student reflection like journaling. D. Such guiding questions often arise in the backward planning. E. These may allow you greater flexibility to do outdoor learning. F. Her reasoning for looking at the curriculum every day is twofold. G. Xena creates a mind map using the big idea behind the questions. 高频话题02 人与社会—体育健康 Passage 1 (2025河北省沧州市五县联考高三下学期一模)Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. 1 It was esports, or competitive computer gaming. Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional games, playing games as their full-time job. 2 They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them. 3 Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports. But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too. 4 And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics? For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance. 5 A. But are esports really sports? B. Put simply, esports is competitive level gaming. C. It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though. D. But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match. E. It is certain that esports will come into the 2028 Olympics. F. In fact, China and R. O. Korea do classify esports as sports. G. If esports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future. Passage 2 (2025届河北省邢台市名校协作高三下学期一模)We have all heard that if you talk to yourself, you’re crazy, 1 According to research, talking to yourself in a positive way is actually very healthy for your mind My first exposure to positive self-talk was reading The Little Engine That Could. Do you remember that book from your childhood? While trying to make it up a big hill, the little engine keeps saying to himself, “I think I can, I think I can.” And of course, he makes it. 2 Positive self-talk is one of the most valuable tools you can use to keep yourself physically and mentally balanced. Many Olympic and professional athletes use it every time they practice or compete. 3 My own personal favorite is “I’m okay”, back when I was in the movie business. I used to work with the stunt(特技) team. I was told that one of their simple but effective secrets was to stay loose and talk to their body. I had the chance to try it out one day. My apartment was on the second floor of a duplex (复式公寓), and one rainy day I slipped on the top step and started falling over. Then I just kept telling myself, “I’m okay.” 4 There were only a few scratches(擦伤) on my legs. I believe to this day that it was the simple positive self-talk that helped keep me from being seriously injured. Positive self-talk can also help you calm down from anxiety and feel less sad. There was a period of time when I felt upset. Every morning, I woke up and said to myself, “Hi, Barton. You’re going to have a good day today.” 5 When I did it throughout the day, fewer things would bother me, and I became friendlier to myself. A. In fact, that’s not always the case. B. Much to my surprise, I was just fine C. It’s a valuable lesson for us to learn and remember. D. Instead, there are several different types of self-talk. E. You know, I was programming my brain to feel good. F. When it comes to positive self-talk, the simpler, the better. G. That was an opportunity for me to try something challenging. Passage 3 (2025福建龙岩市2025年高中毕业班三月教学质量检测)There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. 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 Passage 4 (2025·河南郑州·一模)When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. 1 What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. 2 For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. 3 Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. 4 It’s simply not possible. 5 It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F. Another research also suggests younger children don’t learn well from screens. G. But parents shouldn’t overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens. Passage 5 (2025·河南安阳·一模)As we all know, not all thoughts are welcome. Intrusive(入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors, disrupting our minds. They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation. 1 . Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time. For example, if someone is driving, they might have an urge to drive off a bridge. Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much attention to them. 2 . And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible. This can lead to them performing compulsions(强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety. Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts. Accept them. Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. 3 . Try to just observe them and allow time to pass. Remember that intrusive thoughts are normal, and just having a thought doesn’t make it come true. 4 . We know it’s difficult sometimes! Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle. Stay present. The more present you are in the “here and now”, the less power you’re giving to these nagging fears and negative thoughts. You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath. 5 . A. Love yourself B. Don’t try to push them away C. Never be too hard on yourself D. However, some people become troubled by their intrusive thoughts E. They can be anything that a person finds inconsistent with their values F. That can help bring your attention back and break the cycle of intrusive thoughts G. People who have such terrible experiences may be easy to have intrusive thoughts Passage 6 (2025·河南驻马店·一模)Noise is more than just an annoyance; it has serious consequences for our health and wellbeing. 1 Loud sounds can damage the auditory nerve, leading to hearing loss. The risk is related to volume, pitch and duration. 2 About 1/8 of kids and teens have permanent hearing damage. Research indicates that kids should avoid sounds over 75 decibels(分贝), emphasizing the need to be careful about noise exposure from a young age. The brain’s role in processing sound is also crucial. New research looks into how it interprets what we hear and why some sounds are unpleasant. 3 People’s perception(感知) of a sound can depend on what they think. Misophonia, where certain sounds cause great pain, may be connected to the brain’s interpretation of sounds. Understanding these psychological aspects is beneficial to handling noise-related problems. 4 It can even affect a person’s ability to learn and perform academically. Studies show noisy classrooms can make it harder for kids to focus, read, remember, and do well on tests. It can also result in “noisier brains”, making it difficult to concentrate even in quiet settings. However, activities like team sports might help reduce this background noise as they train the brain to focus on relevant sounds. The stress caused by noise extends beyond the brain. 5 It can cause anxiety, depression, headaches, heart disease, and digestive problems. Furthermore, nighttime traffic noise may be associated with cardiovascular(心血管的) issues and poor sleep. The continuous stress from noise disturbs the body’s normal functioning. To protect hearing, using earplugs is essential for protecting the delicate inner ear structures, especially in noisy environments. A. The effects of noise on our ears are well-known. B. Noise affects not only our ears but also our brains. C. In learning environments, noise can cause problems. D. Noise can have a negative impact on our mental health. E. It shows noise can have a great effect on our overall health. F. One way to protect our ears is to limit our exposure to loud noises. G. This damage can have a long-term impact on a person’s hearing ability. Passage 7 (2025河南省焦作市博爱县第一中学高三上学期一模)An old study in the advertising literature found that we’re more likely to read advertisements for the products we have bought, even if they have proved to be “lemons”, or useless. This phenomenon also applies to our decision-making process. Humans sometimes make bad choices and stick with them despite negative consequences. ___1___ But in general bad choices have to do with acting out of emotion and not out of reason. Strong emotions can cloud our thinking and lead us down one rabbit hole after another. Doubling down on a bad choice may also relate to our self-esteem and the ability to admit mistakes. Narcissists(自恋者) usually won’t admit a mistake because it contradicts their self-image. But the fact is that many of us aren’t narcissistic. ___2___ Even when trapped in a bad relationship, we may still stick with it, hoping things will eventually change for the better. Resilience involves managing strong emotions and preventing them from fully dictating our decisions. Considering emotion is important, enthusiasm for something can move us forward, but it can also block our vision. ___3___ While relying solely on our “gut feeling” can be helpful, it works best when we use our head, integrating intuitive insights with logical thinking. Doubling down is generally unwise. We need to acknowledge our errors and be willing to say we’re sorry and apologize. ___4___ In fact, it’s smarter than denying mistakes. By admitting them, we learn valuable lessons and promote personal growth. Recognizing when to cut our losses is crucial, allowing us to pursue new opportunities with confidence. ___5___ A. And we often struggle with this. B. The reasons for that are complex. C. Make our decisions with full passion. D. There is nothing wrong with doing this. E. So stop trying to make lemonade from bad lemons. F. The more errors you make, the more you will learn. G. We should consider what’s right, not just what feels right. Passage 8 (2025·山东聊城·一模)In ancient times, the more information our ancestors had, the more likely they were to survive. However, nowadays, this is the first time in history that humans have been exposed to such a constant flow of information. While it’s important to stay informed, too much information can make us feel confused and anxious. As we all know, too many high-calorie foods can lead to obesity. 1 We’ re not just seeking relevant information to increase our chances of survival anymore. We fall into rabbit holes, scroll(滚屏) our feeds mindlessly, and watch video after video by clicking on the recommended links. 2 And we have lost control over the content we consume. Just as you try to eat healthily to improve your physical health, going on an information diet is a way to control what you consume to take care of your mental health. Here are some simple ways to start an information diet to break the information addiction. Prevent unwanted information. 3 Make sure to set up filters. Try some apps to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. Dress the table. Shape your environment to make sure you’re not overly tempted to have access to too much useless information. 4 For example, you can change your social media settings to reduce the number of notifications. Add more offline foods to your content menu. Increase your levels of “offline foods” — content you can consume away from a screen and that you can purchase or download in advance. 5 It’s incredibly effective to block time for reading stuff online. If you’re really struggling with information addiction, you can even put a timer on. This will force you to prioritize information that really matters. A. Focus on reading stuff online. B. We are addicted to information. C. Schedule your content consumption. D. Subscribing to many newsletters can quickly become a mess. E. You can also adopt some effective strategies to reduce distractions. F. Similarly, this new information overload encourages over consumption. G. Instead, it’s about designing your habits and shaping your environment. Passage 9 (2025届江西省鹰潭市高三下学期第一次模拟考试英语试题)Digging into a bowl of fresh pineapple pieces is very satisfying, especially on a hot summer day. But if you’ve ever eaten a lot of the fruit in one sitting, you might notice that your tongue hurts. Don’t worry. ___1___ As it turns out, pineapple has a combination of enzymes(酶), which is the main cause of most pineapple-related mouth and tongue discomfort. The amount of pineapple you can eat before it hurts your tongue depends on the individual. Some people can eat almost the whole pineapple, while others start to feel some pain after only a few pieces. ___2___ It will go away within a few hours, provided you don’t continue to eat fresh pineapple after fresh pineapple without a pause. ___3___ While pineapple allergies are uncommon, they’re possible. A pineapple allergy can result in more serious physical discomfort like significant pain and burning in the mouth, throat, lips and face, or even having difficulty breathing. If you believe you’re experiencing a pineapple allergy, it’s best to seek medical advice. If you love the taste of pineapple but hate what it does to your tongue, the most effective way to keep pineapple enzymes from hurting your tongue is to cook it. Heating up the pineapple to 135°F kills off the enzymes that cause hurt. ___4___ If you’ve eaten fresh pineapple and find the discomfort unbearable, try drinking some milk for pain relief. ___5___. Besides, it’s advisable to avoid eating more pineapple or hot foods until your tongue has fully recovered. A. It’s something common and harmless. B. Whichever you are, the effect won’t last too long. C. Cooking pineapple can also reduce the enzyme’s effects. D. Pineapple discomfort can also be caused by another factor. E. By doing so, we’re left with sweeter and sugarier fruit. F. Eating a spoonful of honey can also help reduce the discomfort. G. Let’s uncover the root cause of “pineapple tongue” discomfort. 高频话题03 人与社会—艺术 Passage 1 (2025届江苏省苏锡常镇高三下学期一模)Music and art have always been closely connected, with each influencing the other in important ways. Artists are increasingly integrating musical elements into their work, creating experiences that blur(模糊) the boundaries between the auditory and visual senses. One of the most striking examples of this trend is the rise of “sound art” which explores the relationship between sound and visual representation. Sound art combinations often involve large-scale, interactive sound environments. 1 They can create an environment where the viewer becomes an active participant in the artistic experience. 2 This integration allows for a dynamic interplay between sound and image. The live performances add an element of naturalness and unpredictability to the exhibitions, making each visit a unique and unrepeatable experience. Moreover, the use of music in film and video art has also developed. Artists are now experimenting with soundscapes that extend beyond traditional narrative(叙述) structures, using music to arouse emotions and create atmosphere rather than simply underline plot points. 3 Despite these innovations, some artists argue that the integration of music into art can sometimes have different effects from the primary visual message. 4 They believe that music should serve as a complement(补充) to the visual art, enhancing its effect rather than overshadowing it. To address this concern, many artists are now focusing on creating a more harmonious balance between music and visual art. 5 By carefully selecting and integrating musical elements, they aim to create works that are both visually striking and aurally(听觉上地) engaging, offering viewers a truly multisensory experience. A. The artist dislikes composing original music for the artworks. B. This special art form often challenges traditional ideas of storytelling. C. This trend highlights the importance of finding the right balance between them. D. These connections often use technology to transform sound in innovative ways. E. Another notable development is the integration of live music into art exhibitions. F. Instead, this does not mean that music should always give way to visual art. G. Critics have warned that the overuse of music can strongly impact the viewer's senses. Passage 2 (2025·山东临沂·一模)Sedimentay rock(沉积岩) is a type of rock that covers about three fourths of Earth’s land surface. 1 These layers can be seen clearly in steep rock walls. There are many different kinds of sedimentary rock. 2 Some sedimentary rocks form as wind and water leave behind small bits of rock and sand. Others form from chemicals or from the remains of living things. The most common kinds of sedimentary rock consist of deposits left behind by water. The water wears away rocks and carries away sand and small bits of rock. These minerals are deposited in many places. Over time, the deposits build up into layers. 3 The weight of the layers presses the bits of rock together. Water seeps through the layers, leaving minerals that cement the bits together to form rock. Some of the rocks formed by wind and glaciers are loess and tillite. 4 This yellow rock covers large regions of the world. A rock made up of large bits of rock that have combined together is called tillite. 5 Chalk and coal are two kinds of rock that form in this way. Chalk forms from animal skeletons and shells that gather on the floor of the sea. Coal is formed from the remains of plants. Over time, the layers of dead matter become solid chalk and coal. All sedimentary rock takes thousands of years to form. A. But they have different features. B. Each kind forms in a different way. C. Chalk and coal come from the same substances. D. Sedimentary rock can even form from the remains of living things. E. It is formed when minerals and other matter are deposited in layers. F. Weak rock formed from the dust blown by the wind is called loess. G. Over thousands of years, old layers of matter are covered by new layers. 高频话题04 人与社会—公益活动 Passage 1 (2025·山东青岛·一模)We are so passionate about what we do. We get to travel this amazing world, make great friendships, make positive changes within local communities and help conserve animals. 1 . It is not a nine-to-five job for us.

If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript(原稿). ___1___ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ___2___ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. ___3___ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ___4___ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ___5___ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. Passage 2 (2025届河南省五市高三下学期第一次联考英语试题)Coming up with a great business idea can seem challenging and demanding, which may scare many people away. ____1____. With a little creativity and the right mindset, you can turn your passions and everyday experiences into something truly amazing. Here are some tips to help you get started. Look around and spot problems One of the best ways to find a business idea is to pay attention to the problems or challenges you and your friends face every day. ____2____. Perhaps you’ve noticed that your school cafeteria doesn’t offer enough healthy snack options. Whatever the problem may be, write it down! These challenges are opportunities waiting to be solved, and that’s where your brilliant business idea could come from. ____3____ What are the things you love doing most? Are you a coding enthusiast, a talented artist or a crazy sports fan? Think about how you could turn those passions into a business that solves a problem or makes someone’s life easier. For example, if you love coding, you could create an interactive game that teaches programming concepts in a fun way. Work together and brainstorm ____4____. They might spot opportunities you missed or offer a fresh perspective. Attend entrepreneurship events or join online communities to connect with like-minded individuals. Brainstorming with others can help you refine your ideas and uncover new possibilities. Think big, but start small While it’s great to dream big, remember that every successful business starts with a small, simple idea. Don’t try to solve every problem at once. ____5____. For example, if you want to create a healthy snack box people can order, begin by offering just a few choices to customers. As you business grows, you can give them more choices. A. Stay curious and keep exploring B. Go into your interests and passions C. Well, it’s not as hard as you might think D. Focus on one specific need and start there E. You can learn from others’ business experiences F. Don’t hesitate to share ideas with friends and advisors G. Say you wonder how to organize homework assignments Passage 3 (2025届江西省萍乡市高三下学期一模英语试题)People tend to set goals when the New Year comes. So why are we drawn to setting goals collectively and around the same time every year? ____1____ “Belonging to a community is an important human need,” explains Selena Bartlett, a scientist at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. There are advantages of this type of goal-setting. ____2____ Research shows that couples who go on a diet together are more likely to lose weight than those who do so alone. Moreover, making changes at the same time as others also means you have others to share your success with. ____3____ For instance, when you’re relying on partners to keep you motivated and they decide to stop going to the gym, you might want to stay home as well. It’s also common for collective goal setters to compare their results with others and become discouraged if one person is succeeding where they aren’t. If you want to set a goal with others, you’d better know the best time to set it. Regardless of what starts your motivation, Bartlett says it’s critical to take action as soon as you feel the desire. You may only have a short window of opportunity to make decisions about what you want to do before something gets in the way. ____4____ A strategy for successful goal-setting is breaking down bigger goals into smaller, more specific ones. So instead of saying “I’m going to lose 10 pounds a month”, set a goal to limit your daily calorie intake and go to the gym for 30 minutes a day. ____5____ A. One explanation is that humans are naturally social beings. B. So moments of desire are the ideal time to put a plan in place. C. Making setting goals enjoyable can give you immediate rewards. D. However, there are also downsides about the goal-setting at times. E. They include external motivation and the chances to learn from others. F. Research has shown that making specific goals leads to better performance. G. A fresh start allows us to mentally separate our past goals from future goals. Passage 4 (2025湖北省圆创联考高三下学期第一次模拟英语试题) If you can dream it, you can do it This saying has long served as a source of inspiration and motivation for people around the world. Often associated with Walt Disney, this powerful phrase is a reminder that with enough determination and belief, our dreams are within reach. ___1___ It also allows us to work tirelessly towards making them a reality. This article explores the deeper meaning behind this saying, its true origins, and how we can develop a belief in our dreams to achieve our aspirations. Deeper Meaning of the Saying At its core, “If you can dream it, you can do it” speaks to the limitless potential of the human spirit. It suggests that the first step to achieving anything great starts with the ability to imagine it. This saying emphasizes the importance of dreaming as a necessary part of the human experience-a pusher for innovation, creativity, and change. ___2___ Our aspirations are not just fanciful wishes but potential realities waiting to be realized. Origins of the Saying Contrary to popular belief, the inspirational saying “If you can dream it, you can do it” is not a direct quote from Walt Disney himself. ___3___ He wrote it for the Epcot attraction “Horizons” in the 1980s. How to believe in Your Dreams Believing in your dreams is foundational to achieving them. ___4___ 1. Visualize Your Success: Spend time each day imagining achieving your dream. Visualization strengthens your belief and motivates action. 2. Set Achievable Goals: Break your dream down into smaller, manageable goals. ___5___ 3. Educate Yourself: Learn everything you can about your dream. Knowledge empowers belief and action. A. It champions such an idea; B. Here’s how to foster the belief: C. It not only encourages us to set our goals. D. Here is whether to develop the concept: E. That’s why you should not be too optimistic all the time. F. Instead, it was penned by Tom Fitzgerald, an Imagineer for Disney. G. Achieving these will build your confidence and keep you on track. Passage 5 (2025湖南省常德市高三下学期一模英语试题)Anyone with an internet connection can watch breaking news, or at least some version of it. Across social media, posts can fly up faster than most fact-checkers can handle, and they are often an unpredictable mix of true, fake, and out of context. ____1____ How do you know what to trust and what not to share? Here are some basic tools everyone should use when consuming breaking news online. ____2____ Think about who would benefit from spreading confusing information during a news event. During elections, for example, look out for conflicting information and baseless accusations that may benefit one political party or candidate. Of course, not all misinformation is serious. Some is created just for fun or to troll (恶搞) people, so be as skeptical of silly stories as serious ones. Slow down while reading or watching. Social media is built for things to go viral, for users to quickly share before they are even done reading the words. No matter how shocking, enlightening or annoying a TikTok or YouTube video is, you must wait before passing it on to your network. ____3____ That’s because they are waiting until information is confirmed and accurate. So assume everything is suspect until you confirm its authenticity (真实性). Don’t use AI to get news. Tech companies are pushing their voice assistants and AI chatbot tools as a way to get the latest news. ____4____ They can be incorrect, out of date or simply copying words from sources with little credit or visibility. Some chatbots even have started adding disclaimers(免责申明) around breaking news events, advising readers to look elsewhere for new information. ____5____ A. Know why misinformation exists. B.

This can involve scheduled activities of mental health strategies. For example, you can start your day with positive self-talk and end it by writing down something you are grateful for.(参与有益的活动可以帮助你保持活跃，远离抑郁。这可以包括心理健康战略的预定活动。例如，你可以以积极的自我对话开始你的一天，并以写下你感激的事情结束它)”可知，上文列举了一些活动，本句为本段最后一句，说明这些活动的作用，G选项中these activities对应上文activities。故G选项“把这些活动纳入你的日常生活中可以帮助治疗抑郁症”符合语境，故选G。 4. 根据上文“When you’re struggling with depression, it can be difficult to be grateful.(当你与抑郁症作斗争时，很难心存感激)”以及后文“Focusing on gratitude can bring you an increased sense of well-being, and help you transform your understanding of belongings and abilities into sources of gratitude.(专注于感恩可以给你带来更多的幸福感，并帮助你将对财产和能力的理解转化为感恩的源泉)”可知，本段主要强调了感恩，且本段中的gratitude与F选项中的appreciative为同义复现，故F选项“然而，心存感激对心理健康有好处”符合语境，故选F。 5. 根据本段内容“Sometimes people feel forced to apply a label they didn’t want, but it doesn’t need to be part of an identity.

Some are tried-and-true; exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Over the years, my colleagues have reported on 5 other self-care tips that are backed by science and fairly easy to access. Spend more time in nature. There’s evidence that it really can help reduce stress and keep you healthy. 1 But if you’re not able to get outdoors, experts say there are helpful things you can do to bring nature to you instead, like opening a window to let in a fresh light wind or using nature-inspired smells. Organize your space. “You’ll feel less exhausted if you can learn how to sort and become organized,” said Joseph Ferrari, a distinguished professor of psychology, 2 Ferrari had some great research-backed recommendations for how to get started. 3 I’ve always known that frozen pizza and chips are bad for my physical health. But I didn’t realize until I read Janis Jibrin’s story in November that people whose diets are high in these processed foods—which also include soda, candy and energy bars-had a 44 percent greater risk of depression and 48 percent higher risk of anxiety. Stimulate your feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). 4 A 2023 story offers a few examples of how to get high on your own hormones—ranging from the dopamine rush you get from something as simple as finishing a task to the burst of stress-relief hormone from playing with your pet. Plan a trip. Many of us can’t afford a vacation in a world where there’s not much we can control. Well, it turns out that even just planning a vacation can make a difference. As my colleagues on our travel team reported during the pandemic(流行病), research shows that anticipating a trip “can increase a person’s happiness substantially”. 5 A. Ready to give it a shot? B. Eat more of these foods instead. C. Cut back on ultra-processed foods. D. But what if you don’t have the vacation? E. Many people seem to particularly love “forest bathing”. F. Maybe it’s time to start planning a trip to some hot spots. G. Beyond food, there are other ways to bring joy into your life. 【答案】1. E 2. A 3. C 4. G 5. F 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五种提升心理健康的方法，包括：多花时间在自然中、整理个人空间、注意健康饮食、刺激愉悦荷尔蒙的分泌以及计划一次旅行。 1. 上文提到“There’s evidence that it really can help reduce stress and keep you healthy.(有证据表明，它确实可以帮助减轻压力，保持健康。)”，说明在自然中度过时光对身心健康有益。E选项“Many people seem to particularly love ‘forest bathing’.(许多人似乎特别喜欢‘森林浴’。)”中的“forest bathing”即指在自然中放松身心，与上文内容相承接，且“特别喜欢”表明很多人享受这种放松方式，进一步强调了自然对身心健康的好处。故选E。 2. 上文提到“You’ll feel less exhausted if you can learn how to sort and become organized,(如果你能学会如何分类并变得有条理，你会感觉不那么疲惫。)”，说明学会整理空间有助于减轻疲惫感。A选项“Ready to give it a shot?(准备好尝试一下了吗？)”是一个鼓励性的问句，引导读者尝试上文提到的整理空间的方法，同时后文“Ferrari had some great research-backed recommendations for how to get started.( 对于如何开始，Ferrari有一些很棒的研究支持的建议。)”指出对于如何开始上述方法，Ferrari有一些建议，与选项A承接。故选A。 3. 后文“I’ve always known that frozen pizza and chips are bad for my physical health. But I didn’t realize until I read Janis Jibrin’s story in November that people whose diets are high in these processed foods—which also include soda, candy and energy bars-had a 44 percent greater risk of depression and 48 percent higher risk of anxiety.(我一直都知道冷冻披萨和薯条对我的身体健康有害。但直到我在11月读到Janis Jibrin的文章后，我才意识到，那些饮食中加工食品含量高的人——也包括苏打水、糖果和能量棒——患抑郁症的风险要高出44%，患焦虑症的风险要高出48%。)”首先提到作者一直知道冷冻披萨和薯片对健康不利，然后转折说明直到读了Janis Jibrin的故事才意识到高加工食品对心理健康的危害。C选项“Cut back on ultra-processed foods.(减少超加工食品的摄入。)”与后文内容相呼应，提出了应对高加工食品危害的方法，即减少摄入，符合题意。故选C。 4. 本段段旨“Stimulate your feel-good hormones.(刺激你的愉悦荷尔蒙。)”，说明本段主要讨论如何通过刺激荷尔蒙来提升心情。G选项“Beyond food, there are other ways to bring joy into your life.(除了食物，还有其他方法可以给你的生活带来快乐。)”中的“Beyond food”表明除了通过食物刺激荷尔蒙外，还有其他方法；同时后文的“ranging from the dopamine rush you get from something as simple as finishing a task to the burst of stress-relief hormone from playing with your pet.(从完成一项任务这样简单的事情所产生的多巴胺激增到与宠物玩耍所产生的释放压力的荷尔蒙。)”指出通过完成任务、与宠物玩耍等方式刺激荷尔蒙的例子，与前文呼应。故选G。 5. 上文提到“As my colleagues on our travel team reported during the pandemic, research shows that anticipating a trip ‘can increase a person’s happiness substantially’.(正如我们旅行团队的同事在疫情期间报道的那样，研究表明，期待一次旅行可以大大提高一个人的幸福感。)”，说明计划旅行可以带来幸福感。F选项“Maybe it’s time to start planning a trip to some hot spots.(也许是时候开始计划去一些热点的旅行了。)”中的“start planning a trip”与上文中的“anticipating a trip”相呼应，鼓励读者开始计划旅行，享受旅行带来的幸福感，符合题意。故选F。 Passage 4 (2025河北省承德市、张家口市高三下学期一模)Most of us struggle for self-respect. Any comments or experiences that weaken our feelings of self-worth can be uncomfortable. But the thing is, whether your self-worth really is being weakened is, to a large degree, subjective. 1 When you take things personally, you’re interpreting these situations as saying something negative about you. Say your friends cancel your planned get-together. 2 Psychologists have a term for this mindset: personalisation. But the reality might be that your friends felt unwell that weekend. In examples like this, there’s another process at work that psychologists call mind reading. This is when you assume to know what other people are thinking about you when you can’t really know without asking them directly. 3 One simple way to avoid these mindsets is to challenge your negative assumptions. When you find yourself taking a situation personally, try to think of other interpretations that are less focused on you. When receiving criticism, try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. 4 For instance, the person giving feedback might also feel nervous about delivering it. This mindset can transform criticism into a learning opportunity and strengthen relationships. Wanting to be proud of yourself is healthy. 5 Try to take pride in your efforts, good intentions and achievements. This shift in focus will also help you become less sensitive and less likely to take things personally. A. But pride comes in different forms. B. Try to see yourself in a positive light. C. But they might think very highly of you. D. You may interpret this as meaning they’re bored of you. E. Much of it depends on your perception of what someone said or did. F. When you do this, you’ll be able to see things from their point of view. G. When assuming your friends are bored of you, you’re engaging in mind reading. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. G 4. F 5. A 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我价值感的主观性，并提供了如何避免将事情个人化、挑战负面假设以及培养积极自我认知的建议。 1. 上文“But the thing is, whether your self-worth really is being weakened is, to a large degree, subjective.(但问题是，你的自我价值是否真的被削弱，在很大程度上是主观的。)”提到了主观因素，选项E中it指代上文的主观因素，E选项“这在很大程度上取决于你对别人所说或所做的事情的看法。”进一步对这种主观性进行解释，符合语境。故选E项。 2. 上文“When you take things personally, you’re interpreting these situations as saying something negative about you. Say your friends cancel your planned get-together.(当你把事情个人化时，你就会把这些情况解读为对你的负面评价。假设你的朋友取消了你计划好的聚会。)”中提到“你的朋友取消了你计划好的聚会”这种情况可能会被个人化，认为是别人对你产生了负面看法，选项D中this指代上文“取消聚会”这件事情，D选项“你可能会把这理解为他们厌倦你了。”展示了错误的个人化解读，符合语境。故选D项。 3. 上文“In examples like this, there’s another process at work that psychologists call mind reading.(在这样的例子中，还有另一个过程在起作用，心理学家称之为读心术。)”提到了读心术，选项G中mind reading是关键词，与上文呼应，所以G选项“当你假设你的朋友对你感到厌烦时，你正在读心术。”符合语境。故选G项。 4. 上文“When receiving criticism, try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes.(当接受批评时，试着设身处地地为别人着想。)”提到了设身处地为别人着想，选项F中from their point of view是关键词语，与上文呼应，F选项“当你这样做的时候，你就能从他们的角度看问题。”与上文构成顺承关系，体现换位思考。故选F项。 5. 上文“Wanting to be proud of yourself is healthy.(想要为自己感到骄傲是健康的。)”和下文“Try to take pride in your efforts, good intentions and achievements.(试着为你的努力、良好的意愿和成就感到自豪。)”提到了有关自豪的内容，选项A中pride是关键词与下文构成顺承关系，所以A选项“但自豪有不同的形式。”能引起下文，符合语境。故选A项。 Passage 5 (2025江苏省南通、泰州、镇江等市高三上学期第一次调研测试) How to handle criticism in a healthy way Criticism is a universal experience that can trigger(引发) feelings such as anger, shame, or fear. While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way. 1 Keeping a healthy attitude will not only help you not get depressed by criticism, but it can also help you move forward in life. Here’s how you should seek to handle constructive criticism and how you can use it to your advantage. Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in. Having a stock comment in your pocket, such as, “That’s an interesting viewpoint,” can lessen the initial emotional impact. If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it. 2 Embrace it as a learning opportunity. We all make mistakes. As we go through life, we have plenty of opportunities to learn and improve. However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally. 3 Accept the fact that the other person’s comments may have hurt you. Once you have acknowledged it, you can allow yourself to use their words toward the process of self-improvement. 4 If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to. Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you. 5 Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful. A. Respond calmly. B. Practice active listening. C. It is quite normal to feel hurt. D. It can be an opportunity to improve. E. Getting a response is better than absolute silence. F. This is a good time to clarify any misunderstandings. G. This is better than responding in the heat of the moment. 【答案】1. D 2. G 3. C 4. B 5. E 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何以一种健康的方式处理批评的几点建议。 1. 根据上文“While criticism can be taken as hurtful, it can also be viewed in a positive way.(虽然批评可以被视为伤害，但也可以以积极的方式看待)”可知，批评虽然可能被认为是有害的，但也可以从积极的方面来看待。D选项It can be an opportunity to improve.(它可以是一个提升的机会)进一步阐述了批评的积极作用，与上文衔接紧密。故选D项。 2. 根据上文“Stop your first reaction. Feeling “attacked” may trigger a fight-flight-or-freeze response. Take a breath and cool off to allow logic to step in.(不要做出第一反应。感觉“受到攻击”可能会引发“战斗-逃跑-冻结”反应。深呼吸，冷静下来，让逻辑介入)”以及 “If you have received heavy criticism, then feel free to ask for more time to process it.( 如果你受到了严厉的批评，那么你可以要求更多的时间来处理它)”可知，这里强调要控制第一反应，不要在情绪激动时回应。G选项This is better than responding in the heat of the moment.(这比在一时冲动时回应要好)承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，符合语境。故选G项。 3. 根据上文“However, accepting criticism positively does not mean shutting yourself off emotionally.(然而，积极地接受批评并不意味着把自己封闭起来)”可知，积极接受批评并不意味着在情感上封闭自己。C选项It is quite normal to feel hurt.(感到受伤是很正常的)承接上文，说明即使要积极接受批评，感到受伤也是正常的。故选C项。 4. 根据下文“If criticism is feedback, it’s important to understand what that feedback actually is. What is the true intention of the criticism? For instance, if your boss is giving you feed back on a mistake you made, he’s probably trying to convey how you can fix and avoid the mistake in the future. Try to understand what your critic is saying and seek clarification if you need to.(如果批评是一种反馈，那么了解反馈到底是什么是很重要的。批评的真正意图是什么？例如，如果你的老板在你所犯的错误上给你反馈，他可能是在试图传达你如何在未来纠正和避免错误。试着理解你的批评者在说什么，如果需要的话寻求澄清)”可知，这一段主要讲要理解批评的真正意图，也就是要积极倾听。B选项Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听)符合段落主旨，适合作为该段的小标题。故选B项。 5. 根据上文“Thank those offering the criticism. Sometimes they’re coming from a place of wanting to help you. That takes courage, and is a very generous thing. Even when they’re not trying to be helpful, they’ve taken the time to respond to you.(感谢那些提出批评的人。有时他们是出于想要帮助你的目的。这需要勇气，是一件非常慷慨的事情。即使他们不想帮忙，他们也会花时间回应你)”以及下文“Causing a reaction means you’ve done something interesting — and for that, you should be thankful.(引起反应意味着你做了一些有趣的事情——为此，你应该心存感激)”可知，这里强调要感谢批评者，因为得到回应总比绝对的沉默要好。E选项Getting a response is better than absolute silence.(得到回应比绝对的沉默要好)起承上启下作用，符合语境。故选E项。 Passage 6 2025江苏省南通市如皋市高三下上学期适应性考试(一) Over the years I spent researching how news consumption impacts our mental well-being many people doubted my efforts. 1 Below are effective ways to help you become more informed. Read good-quality journalism The conflict between good quality journalism and profitability is not just a problem for the industry; it is our problem to solve too.  Poor-quality information will lead to poor-quality decisions. 2 Let us be the ones to make quality news profitable and abundant once again. Be prepared to pay for content 3 If we are not paying for the content we read to be produced, someone else is. And news organizations will ultimately answer to whoever is paying the bills. So, it is simple. we must be prepared to pay for news content. This can be done through buying the newspaper or magazine, subscribing either online or offline or simply donating to news organizations that value good-quality journalism. 4 We do not have to only rely on news organizations to educate us on world issues. In our information-rich environment, there are plenty of other valuable sources available. Novels allows us to develop feelings of empathy and understanding of others. Nonfiction books give us well-researched depth, insight and knowledge. Become a conscious consumer In the words of media mogul(大亨) Rupert Murdoch, news organizations are just ‘giving the people what they want’. Well, let us change what we want, and they will give us something different. Change will not take place unless those who are expected to change know and accept the reasons, the methods, and the rewards for changing. 5 A. Our actions do matter. B. Read beyond the news C. Seek out solutions-focused sources D. There is no such thing as a free lunch. E. But we have the power to adjust our media intake. F. So let’s adjust ourselves to the change of the world. G. Those who learn the ‘why’ of anything will always find the ‘how’. 【答案】1. E 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. G 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了几个变得有见识的方法。 1. 根据上文“Over the years I spent researching how news consumption impacts our mental well-being many people doubted my efforts. (多年来，我一直在研究新闻摄入如何影响我们的心理健康，许多人怀疑我的努力。)”及下文“Below are effective ways to help you become more informed. (下面是帮助你变得更有见识的有效方法。)”可知，作者先提出目前面临的问题，下文提出改进的建议方法，所以此处表达“面临问题，还是有解决方式的”，选项E. “But we have the power to adjust our media intake. (但我们有能力调整我们的媒体摄入量。)”起到承上启下的作用，符合逻辑。故选E。 2. 根据上文“Poor-quality information will lead to poor-quality decisions. (低质量的信息会导致低质量的决策。)”可知，低质量的新闻会带给我们负面的影响，因此我们要积极的采取行动，减少这类新闻的摄，即我们的行动是关键。选项A. “Our actions do matter. (我们的行动很重要。)”符合逻辑。故选A。 3. 根据这一段落的主题“Be prepared to pay for content (准备好为内容付费)”可知，本段的建议是“为内容付费”。因此此处要首先指出“为内容付费”的原因。选项D. “There is no such thing as a free lunch. (天下没有免费的午餐)”解释了为什么要付费，符合逻辑。故选D。 4. 根据下文“We do not have to only rely on news organizations to educate us on world issues. In our information-rich environment, there are plenty of other valuable sources available. (我们不必仅仅依靠新闻机构来教育我们了解世界问题。在我们这个信息丰富的环境中，还有许多其他有价值的资源可用。)”可知，本段给出的建议是“不能仅仅依赖新闻信息，还要利用其他有价值的资源”，选项B. “Read beyond the news (阅读新闻之外的内容)”符合逻辑。故选B。 5. 根据本段标题“Become a conscious consumer (成为一个有意识的消费者)”可知，本段建议读者做一个有主动意识的人，上文“Change will not take place unless those who are expected to change know and accept the reasons, the methods, and the rewards for changing. (除非那些被期望改变的人知道并接受改变的原因、方法和回报，否则改变不会发生。)”先介绍没有主动意识，即被动改变的人，所以此处内容描述有主动意识的人的行为。选项G. “Those who learn the ‘why’ of anything will always find the ‘how’. (懂得“为什么”的人总能找到“怎么做”。)”符合逻辑。故选G。 Passage 7 (2025湖北省部分高中协作体高三年级三月联考一模)Certain people seem to have effortless and calm mornings. ____1____ How can we have a productive morning like them?

It’s the same theory for the rest of your routine” Casey Osmundson says “The more you practice completing a task, the less you’ll have to consciously think about each step. What once seemed like a challenge will soon feel more like second nature.” They identify several things for a successful day. Author Laura Vanderkam says, “Organized people think through their days. At the beginning of the day, they ask, ‘What do I need to do to make this a good day? What things can make me feel like the day is a success? ____4____ And they’ll try to finish them.” They set realistic morning goals. “Add one thing at a time, and limit the number of tasks to be completed,” suggests Watson. If you try to change everything all at once, you’ll burn out and want to quit. She says, “Your routine should be the basics that you need to complete. If you have other must-do tasks each day, simplify them or spread them out differently on your schedule. ____5____” A. They try to be the first one up. B. They start their to-do list the night before. C. Thus, you will avoid wearing yourself out. D. It’s because they often make schedules in advance. E.

Zooming into a delicate flower or capturing(捕捉) insects larger than life can help show the beauty we might miss in everyday life. 2 If you’re zooming in on one particular subject, such as a bee landing on a flower, you could end up with soft-focus objects in the background to create added interest. ● 3 A shadow or lots of natural sunlight can produce great results - it’s just best to avoid extremes Too much bright light on a camera lens(镜头) can cause a photo to be unclear. A dark sky with stars looks great, but it might make a big difference between the background and what you’re taking a picture of. When you’ve found your ideal outdoor location, why not try capturing it during a golden hour sunset and see what happens? ●Once you’ve found a location, think about where to place your main subject in the picture, what angle to shoot from, and the details you want to capture. It’s good to avoid too much unnecessary space or just centring your image in the frame. 4 ●Keeping the camera steady is important, whether you stand firm or use a tool to do so. A self-timer can also be a handy tool for keeping your hands away from dials and settings once you have chosen your shot. Learning to master shutter (快门) speed is a more advanced skill. 5 If your picture is all about animals, then the shutter speed needs to be fast enough to stop movement in the frame as you click. A. Avoid places that are too sunny. B. Experiment with how close you can hold the camera. C. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to timing. D. Here are four ways to help inspire the best outdoor photos. E. An appropriately fast shutter speed can save you in this situation. F. It’s also important to accurately shoot the landscape as it truly looks. G. However, it brings rewards if you want to capture movement in wildlife. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. F 5.

They are clarity about your goals, effective articulation, and identifying the right recipient. The process begins by creating a targeted list of dream companies, specific roles, and relevant contacts. 2 — understand their responses to market shifts, analyze brand messaging, and observe key employees’ online presence. This research forms the foundation for a well-informed perspective on the company, which will inform your email content. When crafting your email, follow a proven framework: Confirm Job Availability: Start with a direct question like “ 3 ?” This initiates dialogue and sets the stage for a meaningful response, avoiding generic introductions. Demonstrate Research-Based Context: Share insights about recent developments at the company or within its market. Highlighting a recent product launch, strategic initiative, or new partnership shows genuine interest and aligns your goals with the company’s objectives. Highlight Your Strengths: Connect your skills directly to the company’s needs. Explain how your strengths can contribute to their growth, solve problems, or enhance their competitive edge. 4 . Analysis of millions of successful emails shows that the most effective ones are between 25-50 words and written at a third-to fifth-grade reading level. Short paragraphs and simple sentences yield better engagement. Personalized, thoughtful emailing is a game-changer. Although only 4.1% of emails are manually personalized, those who invest the effort see significant rewards. For job seekers willing to go the extra mile, this approach offers substantial benefits. In summary, transitioning from mass submissions to personalized cold emails requires effort. 5 . A. Additionally, simplicity is crucial B. Are you still hiring for a marketing manager C. Conduct in-depth research into these organizations D. May I have the honor to invite you to dinner someday E. Success with this approach depends on three key elements F.

But how to be less talkative? 1 . When the other person suggests that they want to talk, do something to show that they have your full, undivided attention. Close the book you're reading or put down your phone and face your body towards them with open arms to show them that you’re ready to listen. Think before you respond. Always try to think twice before you speak. 2 , think about questions to ask that can grant you clarity. Avoid saying more than you have to be by taking a moment to reflect after the speaker asks you for your opinion. Only speak on something when it is appropriate. Discuss what makes sense and try to stay away from examples that may seem irrelevant, unreasonable, and ambiguous 3 , if you don’t know what you want to say. For example, “What does this mean? Who can we hold responsible, how, and why?” This encourages others to speak more. Keep conversations balanced by asking questions. In balanced conversations, people say what they have to say. Rather than talking until something comes up, balance the conversation by saying things like “Enough about me. What do you think?” and “I know we’ve been talking a lot about my opinion, I want to hear your opinion, too!” If you have a question about something or need clarification, don’t interrupt the person while they’re talking. 4 . Practice staying on topic by challenging and recording yourself. Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic. 5 . Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds. This exercise can help you stay on topic and avoid wandering. A. Observe body language B. Show your willingness to listen C. Ask more investigative questions D. If you are confused about the topic at hand E. If you find yourself interrupting others or talking over them F. Instead, wait for them to finish their thought and then respond G. If so, challenge yourself to make your point in under one minute 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. F 5. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何在谈话时不那么唠叨。 1. 根据下文“When the other person suggests that they want to talk, do something to show that they have your full, undivided attention. Close the book you’re reading or put down your phone and face your body towards them with open arms to show them that you're ready to listen.(当对方暗示他们想要说话时，做一些事情来表明他们已经得到了你全心全意的关注。合上你正在读的书或放下你的手机，张开双臂，把你的身体面向他们，告诉他们你准备好倾听了)”可知，本段是说告诉对方你做好了倾听的准备，B项“表现出你愿意倾听”符合语境，故选B。 2. 空后“think about questions to ask that can grant you clarity.(考虑问一些能让你清楚的问题)”提到考虑问一些能让自己清楚的问题，D项“如果你对手头的话题感到困惑”与下文衔接得当，故选D。 3. 根据下文“For example, ‘What does this mean? Who can we hold responsible, how, and why?’ This encourages others to speak more.(例如，‘这是什么意思？我们能让谁负责，如何负责，为什么负责？’这会鼓励别人多说话)”可知，此处是说问问题，C项“多问一些调查性问题”符合语境，故选C。 4. 上文“If you have a question about something or need clarification, don’t interrupt the person while they’re talking.(如果你对某事有疑问或需要澄清，不要在别人说话的时候打断他们)”提到，不要在别人说话的时候打断他们，空处应是紧接着指出正确做法，F项“相反，等他们说完自己的想法再回应”符合语境，故选F。 5. 上文“Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic.(录下自己的谈话，看看自己是否开始跑题了)”提到录下自己的谈话看看自己是否跑题了，G项“如果是这样，挑战一下自己，在一分钟内把你的观点表达出来”符合语境，和下文“Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds.(一旦你能做到这一点，试着在30秒内表达你的观点)”都是讲如果说话时跑题该怎么做，故选G。 Passage 14 (2025·山东德州·一模)I frequently see online videos where a group of girls travel to a destination as friends but leave as enemies. It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills. 1 Luckily, there are ways to minimize arguments and ensure your friendships survive your next group trip. 2 Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends, in which case there’ll be no surprises when you’re trying to pick out an Airbnb or make dinner reservations. Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary(行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.? 3 The same goes for boundaries. Better to know what makes them uncomfortable beforehand than have to negotiate mid-trip. Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility? 4 I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule, but some structure is key, or else you’re spending half your vacation researching. Some people need a break to recharge or sleep and others may want to work out or read a book. 5 It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish. A. It pays to tour with friends. B. I believe it’s a mixture of both. C. Don’t forget to block out alone time. D. Be frank about your budget and preferences. E. If the answer is yes, you’ll have to make a change. F. There is no point in complaining about external disturbance. G. Setting schedule expectations helps you plan the trip effectively. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. G 4. E 5. C 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了可以减少旅游时发生争吵导致友谊破裂的方法。 1. 上文“It’s generally assumed that these friendship breakups result from different travel preferences or lack of conflict resolution skills.(人们普遍认为，这些友谊的破裂是由于不同的旅行偏好或缺乏解决冲突的能力)”是描述对于旅行结束后友谊破裂人们普遍认为的原因，B项“我认为这是两者的结合”作者提出自己的看法，B项中“both”指代上文“different travel preferences”和“lack of conflict resolution skills”，故选B。 2. 根据下文“Regarding accommodations, for instance, you’d rather check into a Youth Hostel than a five-star hotel so that you can spend more on good meals. What need you prioritize should get across to your friends(关于住宿，例如，你宁愿入住青年旅馆而不是五星级酒店，这样你可以花更多的钱在美食上。你优先考虑的需求应该告诉你的朋友)”可知，本段是说要和朋友说清楚预算和需求，D项“坦白你的预算和喜好”适合作为本段主旨句，故选D。 3. 根据上文“Do your friends prefer a structured itinerary (行程) that starts at 7 a.m., or would they like to rise at their leisure and wing it for the day? Are they down to party until dawn, or do they want to call it a night by 10 p.m.?(你的朋友们是喜欢早上7点开始的有组织的行程，还是喜欢在空闲的时候起床，然后自由地度过一天？他们是准备派对到天亮，还是想在晚上10点前结束？)”可知，此处是讲设定行程的重要性，G项“设定行程预期可以帮助你有效地计划旅行”符合语境，故选G。 4. 上文“Are you one who rigidly sticks to a travel itinerary and allows zero flexibility?(你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？)”提出问题：你是一个严格遵守旅行计划，不允许任何灵活性的人吗？下文“I find it helpful to have a loose itinerary shared before the trip. You can always revise your daily schedule(我发现在旅行前有一个自由的行程安排是很有帮助的。你可以随时修改你的日程安排)”提到自由、灵活的行程安排，和上文“严格遵守计划、不允许任何灵活性”相反，故E项“如果答案是肯定的，你将不得不做出改变”符合语境，E项中的“answer”呼应上文问题，故选E。 5. 根据下文“It’s everyone’s vacation, so everyone should get independent periods to use as they wish.(这是每个人的假期，所以每个人都应该有自己的假期)”可知，每个人都应该有属于自己的时间，C项“别忘了留出独处的时间”符合语境，故选C。 Passage 15 (2025·山东济宁·一模)As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles. 1 Throughout their careers, leaders are conditioned to come up with the final, correct answer. Given that human's brains are hardwired to see uncertainty as a risk or threat, it’s physiologically normal to feel stress when faced with unfamiliar situations. Sadly, in the world of leadership training, we often celebrate qualities like decisiveness, innovation, and resilience(抗逆力). 2 Without it, even the most talented leaders struggle to sustain their success. According to the psychological definition, frustration tolerance involves the capacity to bear discomfort, regulate emotional responses, and maintain a forward mindset in the face of challenges. 3 It not only allows leaders to stand the discomfort of building something meaningful without giving up but also helps them stay grounded and purposeful, even when immediate results aren’t what they hoped for. 4 Leaders can train their frustration tolerance by pursuing goals outside of leadership that don’t offer instant rewards. Try going to the gym teaching discipline, patience, and the value of gradual progress. These experiences build resilience and reinforce frustration tolerance as a transferable skill. 5 Leadership and entrepreneurship are marathons, not sprints (冲刺) . Honoring your energy ensures you’re better equipped to handle frustration and maintain the stamina needed for long-term success. A. They quit their jobs out of the blue. B. Understandably, it’s easy for them to feel this way. C. In leadership, it is the unsung hero of long-term success. D. One vital skill — frustration tolerance — is often overlooked. E. Leadership can’t be defined by a one-size-fits-all approach. F. Developing frustration tolerance isn’t easy, but it’s possible. G. Also, remember to prioritize rest and create space to recharge. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. F 5. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕领导者在面对角色挑战中的变化和不确定性时产生的沮丧情绪展开，提出挫折容忍力这一常被忽视的重要技能，并论述其对领导者长期成功的关键作用，还阐述了培养挫折容忍力的方法。 1. 由上文“As a leadership consultant for many years, I’ve found many of the leaders I work with report feeling frustrated (沮丧的) as they face the continuous change and uncertainty in the growing challenges of their roles.(作为一名多年的领导力顾问，我发现与我共事的许多领导者在面对角色不断增加的挑战中的持续变化和不确定性时，都感到沮丧。)”可知，领导者们有沮丧的感受这一现象被提出来，空格处需要对这种感受进行合理的说明或承接。而B项 Understandably, it’s easy for them to feel this way.(可以理解，他们很容易有这种感觉。)符合此处语境，是对上文领导者感受的一种合理回应，有承接上文的作用。故选B项。 2. 由上文“Sadly, in the world of leadership training, we often celebrate qualities like decisiveness, innovation, and resilience (抗逆力). (遗憾的是，在领导力培训领域，我们往往推崇果断、创新和抗逆力等品质。)”可知，这里提到了领导力培训中常被推崇的品质，空格处应该与这些品质相关且有转折或补充的意思。而D项One vital skill — frustration tolerance — is often overlooked.(一项重要的技能——挫折容忍力——往往被忽视。)符合此处语境，与上文形成对比，指出了在推崇一些品质的同时，挫折容忍力这项重要技能被忽视了，有转折和补充说明的作用。故选D项。 3. 由上文“According to the psychological definition, frustration tolerance involves the capacity to bear discomfort, regulate emotional responses, and maintain a forward mindset in the face of challenges. (根据心理学定义，挫折容忍力包括在面对挑战时承受不适、调节情绪反应和保持积极心态的能力。)”可知，这里对挫折容忍力的定义进行了阐述，空格处要进一步说明挫折容忍力在领导力中的作用等。而C项In leadership, it is the unsung hero of long-term success.(在领导力方面，它是长期成功的无名英雄。)符合此处语境，其中it指代挫折容忍力，对上文提到的挫折容忍力进行了进一步的肯定和强调，说明了其在领导力中对长期成功的重要性，有承接和升华上文的作用。故选C项。 4. 由下文“Leaders can train their frustration tolerance by pursuing goals outside of leadership that don’t offer instant rewards. (领导者可以通过追求领导力之外不能立即带来回报的目标来培养自己的挫折容忍力。)”可知，这里讲述了领导者培养挫折容忍力的方法，空格处应该是引出培养挫折容忍力相关内容的句子。而F项Developing frustration tolerance isn’t easy, but it’s possible.(培养挫折容忍力并不容易，但并非不可能。)符合此处语境，先表明培养挫折容忍力有难度但可行，引出了下文关于培养方法的内容，有启下的作用。故选F项。 5. 由上文“These experiences build resilience and reinforce frustration tolerance as a transferable skill. (这些经历能增强韧性，并将挫折容忍力强化为一种可迁移的技能。)”可知，这里提到了经历对增强韧性和挫折容忍力的作用，空格处应该与如何进一步提升或保持这种能力等相关。而G项Also, remember to prioritize rest and create space to recharge.(此外，要记住优先安排休息，为恢复精力留出空间。)符合此处语境，recharge与下文Honoring your energy相呼应，提到要优先休息和充电，承上启下，说明了在通过经历培养能力的同时，也要注意休息恢复精力来更好地应对挫折等。故选G项。 Passage 16 (2025·山东淄博·一模)Vacations are an essential part of every person’s life. Following long seasons of hard work, it is well deserved to get away from busy schedules and enjoy nature. While tourism is good, it has its dark side. Besides emission-based pollution, tourism also contributes heavily to plastic pollution. This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing. 1 When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important. 2 If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high. In our efforts to protect nature, we may fail to appreciate other people’s cultures. The local communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife. 3 Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does. Most people are not sustainability conscious. 4 We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas. The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd to another person. However, sharing your experience may help others have different perspectives. At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality. 5 However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world. A. No rule fits all situations concerning this topic. B. The reason for this is that they think it cannot be achieved. C. Protect our lives from potential danger by following regulations. D. The best way to care for nature and wildlife is to follow the rules. E. Instead of being critical, take your time to learn from their practices. F. An ecotourist focuses on protecting nature, culture and social practices. G. The term ecotourism is often used interchangeably with sustainable tourism. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. E 4. B 5. A 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了可持续旅游(或生态旅游)的重要性，提出了一些实践可持续旅游的方法。 1. 根据上文“This kind of pollution can be reduced by advocating for sustainable vacationing.(通过提倡可持续度假，可以减少这种污染。)”和下文“When it comes to ecotourism, your inspiration for others to take action is equally important.(说到生态旅游，你激励他人采取行动同样重要。)”可知，本段主要讲述生态旅游或可持续旅游的重要性。选项G“生态旅游和可持续旅游这两个术语经常可以互换使用”能够承上启下，既提到了上文中的sustainable vacationing，也引出了下文中的ecotourism。故选G。 2. 根据下文“If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them.(如果公园禁止喂养野生动物，就不要喂养它们。)”可知，本段主要讲述要遵守规定，保护野生动物。选项D“关心自然和野生动物的最好方法就是遵守规则”能够概括本段主旨。故选D。 3. 根据上文“When you visit such local communities, you may find them participating in some practices that may seem unfriendly to the ecosystem or wildlife.(当你访问这些当地社区时，你可能会发现他们参与了一些可能对生态系统或野生动物不友好的做法。)”和下文“Trying to listen and interact with communities opens more doors to bring in change than criticism does.(试着倾听并与社区互动，比为批评打开更多带来改变的大门。)”可知，此处内容应与学习当地社区的做法有关，选项E“不要妄加批评，而是花时间去学习他们的做法”符合语境。故选E。 4. 根据上文“Most people are not sustainability conscious.(大多数人没有可持续意识。)”和下文“We have many ways to be sustainable and one is sharing your ideas.(我们有很多方法可以实现可持续发展，其中之一就是分享你的想法。)”可知，本段主要讲述大多数人没有可持续意识的原因，以及实现可持续发展的方法。选项B“这是因为他们认为这是无法实现的”能够承接上文，并引出下文提出的实现可持续发展的方法。故选B。 5. 根据上文“At the end of the day, sustainable vacationing should help you not only reduce negative environmental impact but also awaken society to such a reality.(归根结底，可持续度假不仅应该帮助你减少对环境的负面影响，还应该唤醒社会对这一现实的认识。)”和下文“However, every small step contributes to a more sustainable world.(然而，每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。)”可知，此处存在一个转折关系，选项A“在这个问题上，没有一成不变的规则”能够与下文形成转折关系，表示虽然可持续旅游没有固定的规则，但每一个小步骤都有助于构建一个更可持续的世界。故选A。 Passage 17 (2025湖南省高考普通高中名校联考高三下学期第一次模拟考试) How to think outside the box Thinking creatively often involves more than just considering opposing viewpoints. ____1____ A break in our daily routine can offer the necessary push to change our thought patterns. ____2____ We can change our surroundings, for instance, by rearranging our workspace or trying a different path to commute. For some, though, more significant changes such as starting a new job or getting married might be necessary. A well-known approach is to tackle everyday situations as if experiencing them for the first time. In essence, we should examine them as if they were entirely novel to us. ____3____ For example, when brushing our teeth, pause to observe the toothbrush as if it were an unfamiliar object, noting its color and shape. Consider the taste of the toothpaste and pay attention to the sensation in our mouth as we brush. ____4___ The simple fact of having a group of individuals with varied experiences perspectives, and backgrounds in our daily life fosters an environment where people are more adaptable to change. Why? Because they are essential catalysts for the creation of new ideas and solutions. Unlike negative emotions that start specific responses (such as fear driving us to escape), positive emotions expand our focus, encourage exploration of our surroundings, and make us more receptive to new information. ____5____ They can be aspects of our life that are currently going well or thing we are thankful for. This transition to a more positive mindset will naturally lift our spirits—and liberate our thinking. A. It’s also helpful to seek for the difference. B. For some people, small changes might work. C. We should show respect for different cultures too. D. Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think. E. Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life. F. Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking. G. “Beginners’ mind” develops openness to experiences, despite early knowledge. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. G 4. F 5. E 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何跳出固有思维进行创造性思考的方法。 1. 此空位于段落末尾，起承上启下的作用。根据上文“Thinking creatively often involves more than just considering opposing viewpoints.(创造性思维往往不仅仅是考虑对立的观点)”可知，本段讲述的是创造性思维，再结合下文介绍的一些有助于拓宽思维的小技巧，D项“Some small techniques could help broaden the way we think.(一些小技巧可以帮助拓宽我们的思维方式)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 2. 根据下文“We can change our surroundings, for instance, by rearranging our workspace or trying a different path to commute. For some, though, more significant changes such as starting a new job or getting married might be necessary.(我们可以改变我们的环境，例如，重新安排我们的工作空间或尝试不同的通勤路径。然而，对一些人来说，可能需要进行更重大的改变，比如开始一份新工作或结婚)”可知，本段介绍的是通过改变环境来拓宽思维，且对于不同的人，改变的程度可能不同。B项“For some people, small changes might work.(对一些人来说，小的改变可能就有用)”能够引起下文，符合语境。故选B。 3. 根据上文“A well-known approach is to tackle everyday situations as if experiencing them for the first time. In essence, we should examine them as if they were entirely novel to us.(一个众所周知的方法是，把日常情况当作第一次经历那样去处理。本质上，我们应该把它们当作全新的事物来审视)”可知，本段介绍的方法是把日常情况当作第一次经历那样去处理，即初学者心态。G项中的“Beginners’ mind”与上文对应，G项““Beginners’ mind” develops openness to experiences, despite early knowledge.(“初学者心态”能培养对经验的开放性，尽管我们可能已经有一些先验知识)”进一步解释上文，符合语境。故选G。 4. 根据下文“The simple fact of having a group of individuals with varied experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds in our daily life fosters an environment where people are more adaptable to change. Why? Because they are essential catalysts for the creation of new ideas and solutions.(在我们日常生活中，有一群拥有不同经历、观点和背景的人，这一简单事实就营造了一个人们更容易适应变化的环境。为什么？因为他们是创造新想法和解决方案的重要催化剂)”可知，本段主要讲述的是多样化的环境有助于拓宽思维，且这种环境能激发新的想法和解决方案，这与积极情绪的作用相似。F项“Positive emotions play an important part in unfreezing our thinking.(积极情绪在解放我们的思维中起着重要作用)”能够引出下文，符合语境。故选F。 5. 根据上文“Unlike negative emotions that start specific responses (such as fear driving us to escape), positive emotions expand our focus, encourage exploration of our surroundings, and make us more receptive to new information.(与引发特定反应(如恐惧驱使我们逃避)的负面情绪不同，积极情绪会扩大我们的注意力范围，鼓励我们探索周围环境，并使我们更容易接受新信息)”可知，上文主要讲述的是积极情绪的作用，再结合下文“They can be aspects of our life that are currently going well or thing we are thankful for.(它们可以是我们生活中目前进展顺利的方面，或者我们感激的事情)”可知，设空处应承接上下文，说明要积极思考生活中美好的事情。E项“Take a few moments to think about the beautiful things in our life.(花点时间想想我们生活中美好的事情)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 18 (2025·山东菏泽·一模)Xena Biffert, a district science consultant, started to do a lot of backward planning when taking students outside to meet curricular(课程的) outcomes. This approach allows curriculum connection and encourages students’ focus and interest to lead the way. Here are four tips for practicing backward planning with your students. 1 Know your curriculum. Many topics arise organically, and you can cover them through mini-lessons along the way. One way to deepen that knowledge is to print it out and make a habit of reviewing it daily. 2 First, you develop a familiarity with it. Second, you can see where you can make that connection naturally where the students’ interests meet. Begin the year with a learning plan and a mind map. Having guiding questions has helped Xena form and follow a plan for the year. 3 For example, “How are we all interconnected?” and “What is our story?” She can assess outcomes using this plan throughout the school year. Get students outside regularly. 4 . This culture creates an opportunity to form and answer questions about what happens outdoors and how it connects to other topics. As the emergent learning arises and there is daily reflection on it, knowledge and understanding emerge. Through this intentional work and reflection, teachers will be well equipped to answer questions in the process. 5 It is important for students to reflect on their observations. We often don’t get time to reflect in our fast-paced classrooms. Often, reflection is combined with assessment. An easy starting point is journaling, because it is a thought process accessible to students in every grade. A. Outside learning builds a culture. B. Work out a plan for regular journaling. C. Make time for student reflection like journaling. D. Such guiding questions often arise in the backward planning. E. These may allow you greater flexibility to do outdoor learning. F. Her reasoning for looking at the curriculum every day is twofold. G. Xena creates a mind map using the big idea behind the questions. 【答案】1. E 2. F 3. G 4. A 5. C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地区科学顾问 Xena Biffert 在带学生到户外实现课程目标时所采用的逆向规划方法，并给出了四个关于如何与学生一起实践逆向规划的建议。 1. 根据上文“Here are four tips for practicing backward planning with your students.(以下是与学生一起实践逆向规划的四个建议。)”可知，接下来要讲的是与这些建议有关，而选项E“These may allow you greater flexibility to do outdoor learning.(这些可能会让你在进行户外学习时有更大的灵活性。)”中的“These”指代的正是“four tips”，且与户外学习相关，引出下文具体建议，符合语境。故选E。 2. 根据上文“One way to deepen that knowledge is to print it out and make a habit of reviewing it daily.(加深对课程知识了解的一种方法是把它打印出来，养成每天复习的习惯。)”可知，上文建议要养成每天复习的习惯。而下文“First, you develop a familiarity with it. Second, you can see where you can make that connection naturally where the students’ interests meet.(首先，你会对它产生熟悉感。其次，你可以看到在哪里可以自然地将课程与学生的兴趣联系起来。)”则讲述了每天复习的原因。选项F“Her reasoning for looking at the curriculum every day is twofold.(她每天查看课程的理由有两个方面。)”符合语境，其中“twofold”与下文的“First” 和“Second”相呼应。故选F。 3. 根据上文“Having guiding questions has helped Xena form and follow a plan for the year.(有指导性的问题帮助Xena制定并遵循了一年的计划。)”可知，有指导性的问题帮助她制定了一年的计划。选项G“Xena creates a mind map using the big idea behind the questions.(Xena 利用这些问题背后的大概念创建了一个思维导图。)”自然延续上文内容，指出这些问题背后的大概念帮助Xena创建了一个思维导图。其中的“the questions”指的正是上文中的“guiding questions”。故选G。 4. 根据下文“This culture creates an opportunity to form and answer questions about what happens outdoors and how it connects to other topics.(这种文化创造了一个机会，让学生形成并回答关于户外发生的事情以及它与其他主题如何联系的问题。)”可推测，空处提到了一种文化。选项A“Outside learning builds a culture.(户外学习建立了一种文化。)”中的“Outside learning”与小标题“Get students outside regularly.(定期让学生到户外去。)”相呼应。其中的“culture”和下文的“this culture”相衔接。故选A。 5. 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“It is important for students to reflect on their observations. We often don’t get time to reflect in our fast-paced classrooms. Often, reflection is combined with assessment. An easy starting point is journaling, because it is a thought process accessible to students in every grade.(让学生反思他们的观察结果是很重要的。在我们快节奏的课堂上，我们常常没有时间进行反思。反思通常与评估相结合。一个简单的起点是写日记，因为这是每个年级的学生都可以参与的思考过程。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是让学生有时间反思，如写日记。选项C“Make time for student reflection like journaling.(为学生留出像写日记这样的反思时间。)”是本段内容的概括。故选C。 高频话题02 人与社会—体育健康 Passage 1 (2025河北省沧州市五县联考高三下学期一模)Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. 1 It was esports, or competitive computer gaming. Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional games, playing games as their full-time job. 2 They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them. 3 Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports. But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too. 4 And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics? For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance. 5 A. But are esports really sports? B. Put simply, esports is competitive level gaming. C. It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though. D. But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match. E. It is certain that esports will come into the 2028 Olympics. F. In fact, China and R. O. Korea do classify esports as sports. G. If esports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. F 5. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“电子竞技比赛”这一话题，讲述职业竞技玩家的辛苦，其被认可程度，以及对其未来进行了展望。 1. 根据前文“Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online.(去年夏天，超过12000名球迷聚集在伦敦温布利体育场，欢呼雀跃。还有数千人在网上观看。)”讲到了一个比赛的盛大场面，且后文“It was esports, or competitive computer gaming.(这是电子竞技，或竞争性电脑游戏。)”已经解释了这是一项“电子竞技”，那么可推知，设空句应是一个转折句，提及并不是人们所认为的常规大型比赛，从而引出后文话题。选项D“But this wasn’t a football, basketball or tennis match.(但这不是一场足球、篮球或网球比赛。)”为“But”句，与前文构成了转折关系，且在句意上符合分析。故选D项。 2. 根据前文“Some of them have become professional games, playing games as their full-time job.(他们中的一些人已经成为职业游戏玩家，把玩游戏当成了他们的全职工作。)”提到了“职业游戏玩家”，且空后内容“They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week.(他们每天练习10个小时以上，每周练习5到6天。)”仍然在讲述职业玩家的辛苦，由此推知，设空句作为中间句，应呼应前后主题“职业玩家”，同时又能延申到“职业玩家的辛苦”这一内容。选项C“It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though.(然而，成为一名职业玩家并不容易。)”呼应主题“职业玩家”，与前文构成转折关系，与后文构成顺承关系。故选C项。 3. 根据后文的回答“Some say no. Esports players don’t need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.(有人说不。电子竞技选手不需要跑、跳、投或做大的身体动作。目前，英国政府将电子竞技归类为游戏，而不是体育。)”可知，这里在讨论“电子竞技是不是体育运动”这一话题，因此，设空句作为该段首句，应提出该话题。选项A“But are esports really sports?(但电子竞技真的是体育吗？)”提出了该话题，符合分析。故选A项。 4. 根据后文“And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022.(从2022年开始，它们将成为亚运会的正式奖牌项目。)”可知，这里举例了电子竞技被官方认可的具体事件，同时结合句中的“And”可推知，该句应是承接设空句，对设空句的具体举例，即，设空句应该也是一个类似认可的事实说明句。选项F“In fact, China and R. O. Korea do classify esports as sports.(事实上，中国和韩国确实将电子竞技归类为体育运动。)”在句意上符合分析，与后文衔接紧密，同时“In fact”可与前文构成转折关系。故选F项。 5. 根据前文“For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance.(然而，对于许多电子竞技迷和玩家来说，最重要的是电子竞技越来越受欢迎和重要。)”可知，该段对电子竞技的前景进行了积极的展望，设空句作为末尾句，也应是对前景的积极展望。选项G“If esports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future.(如果电子竞技现在没有体育那么重要，那么在不久的将来肯定会如此。)”是对电子竞技未来的积极展望，符合该段主题；同时，在句意表达上可作为末尾段总结句。故选G项。 Passage 2 (2025届河北省邢台市名校协作高三下学期一模)We have all heard that if you talk to yourself, you’re crazy, 1 According to research, talking to yourself in a positive way is actually very healthy for your mind My first exposure to positive self-talk was reading The Little Engine That Could. Do you remember that book from your childhood? While trying to make it up a big hill, the little engine keeps saying to himself, “I think I can, I think I can.” And of course, he makes it. 2 Positive self-talk is one of the most valuable tools you can use to keep yourself physically and mentally balanced. Many Olympic and professional athletes use it every time they practice or compete. 3 My own personal favorite is “I’m okay”, back when I was in the movie business. I used to work with the stunt(特技) team. I was told that one of their simple but effective secrets was to stay loose and talk to their body. I had the chance to try it out one day. My apartment was on the second floor of a duplex (复式公寓), and one rainy day I slipped on the top step and started falling over. Then I just kept telling myself, “I’m okay.” 4 There were only a few scratches(擦伤) on my legs. I believe to this day that it was the simple positive self-talk that helped keep me from being seriously injured. Positive self-talk can also help you calm down from anxiety and feel less sad. There was a period of time when I felt upset. Every morning, I woke up and said to myself, “Hi, Barton. You’re going to have a good day today.” 5 When I did it throughout the day, fewer things would bother me, and I became friendlier to myself. A. In fact, that’s not always the case. B. Much to my surprise, I was just fine C. It’s a valuable lesson for us to learn and remember. D. Instead, there are several different types of self-talk. E. You know, I was programming my brain to feel good. F. When it comes to positive self-talk, the simpler, the better. G. That was an opportunity for me to try something challenging. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. F 4. B 5. E 【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者主要通过自身经历说明了积极的自我对话的好处。 1. 前文提到“We have all heard that if you talk to yourself, you’re crazy”(我们都听说过，如果你自言自语，你就疯了。)，及空后“According to research, talking to yourself in a positive way is actually very healthy for your mind”(根据研究，以积极的方式自言自语实际上对你的大脑非常健康)可知，说明以健康的方式进行自言自语是对自身有帮助的，由此判断该空所填内容与前一句构成转折关系，A项“In fact, that’s not always the case.”(事实上，情况并非总是如此)符合文意，与上文构成转折关系。故选A。 2. 根据本段中作者讲述的《勇敢的小火车头》这本书的内容可知，小火车头通过自我鼓励成功爬上了大山，这使作者颇受启发。因此，作者认为这是值得我们学习和记住的宝贵经验。C项“It’s a valuable lesson for us to learn and remember.”(这是值得我们学习和记住的宝贵一课。)总结了该段内容，符合文意。故选C。 3. 根据空后“My own personal favorite is ‘I’m okay’. ”(我个人最喜欢的口头禅是“我很好”。)可知，作者认为人们在进行积极的自我对话时，表达越简单越好。F项“When it comes to positive self-talk, the simpler, the better.”(当谈到积极的自我对话时，越简单越好。)提到积极的自我对话就是越简单越好，与作者提到的自我对话“我很好”相符，F项符合文意。故选F。 4. 根据空后“There were only a few scratches (擦伤) on my legs.

F 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了内在美和外在美的区别以及二者的关系。 1. 根据上文“There’s a huge difference between outer beauty and inner beauty, and both of them have their place. In our youth-driven culture, external attractiveness is often put at the forefront of desirability in others.(外在美和内在美有很大的不同，它们都有自己的位置。在我们以年轻人为主导的文化中，外在的吸引力往往被放在别人的可取性的首位)”可知，上文提到“外在的吸引力往往被放在别人的可取性的首位”，推测本句说明内在对人的吸引力。故E选项“然而，我们往往最崇拜的人是他们的个性特征”符合语境，故选E。 2. 根据本段内容“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.(人与人之间的外貌差异很大，不同的人认为不同的特征有吸引力。相比之下，内在美往往被广泛欣赏。以戴安娜王妃为例。虽然大家对她的外表评价不一，但她乐于助人的态度给大家留下了深刻的印象)”可知，本段主要说明了外在美是个人的主观感受，但内在美是人们普遍认可的。故C选项“主观的外在美，普遍可见的内在美”符合语境，故选C。 3. 根据上文“Outer beauty can be achieved with money through plastic surgery, makeup, hair dye, exercise, and wardrobe adjustments.(外在美可以通过整形手术、化妆、染发、锻炼和调整服装来实现)”可知，上文解释了外在美可以如何提高，推测本句要说明如何培养内在美。故D选项“相反，你不需要一分钱来培养内在美”符合语境，故选D。 4. 根据上文“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.(你可以通过图书馆、在线视频或学术资源免费阅读和学习各种不同的科目。参与慈善工作或非营利组织是另一种培养内在美的好方法。一颗奉献的心和对他人的真诚关怀是两种无与伦比的品质)”可知，上文提到了如何培养内在美。空处位于段末，应承接上文。故G选项“更妙的是，任何人在任何情况下都可以发展它们”符合语境，故选G。 5. 根据后文“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.(它们共存于一种复杂而美丽的舞蹈中，这种舞蹈因人而异。真正的美超越外表，根植于人的精神。它是主观的，看重的是我们是谁，而不是我们的外表)”可知，本段主要说明了内在美和外在美的关系，后文指出共存于一种复杂而美丽的舞蹈中，推测两者是相伴相生的关系。故F选项“内在美和外在美不是敌人，而是伙伴”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 4 (2025·河南郑州·一模)When parents are on their phones a lot, what will happen to their kids? Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren’t just modeling poor behavior, but they could be preventing their children's language development, a new study found. Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more. And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary. When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. 1 What’s more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn’t help their language skills. 2 For example, kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat, but not by watching a video, according to a September 2023 study. The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. 3 Try to spare a few minutes – start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard-where your phone is truly out of sight, out of mind. It helps model good practices for your kids. Parents are also advised to re-evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time. We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. 4 It’s simply not possible. 5 It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid’s development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. A. We don’t actually need our phones all the time. B. It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them. C. Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends. D. And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary. E. Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything. F. Another research also suggests younger children don’t learn well from screens. G. But parents shouldn’t overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. A 4. E 5. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了父母过度使用手机对子女语言发展的影响，并提供了改善亲子互动和减少屏幕时间的建议。 1. 上文提到“When screens are in use, either by a parent or a child, there is less talking, teaching and reading in house-holds. (当屏幕被使用时，无论是父母还是孩子，家庭中会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。)” 家庭中使用屏幕时，会有更少的交谈、教学和阅读。D项(这可能是语法能力和词汇量较低的原因之一。)直接指出了屏幕使用与语言能力下降之间的联系，符合上下文逻辑。故选D。 2. 上文提到“What's more, when kids watch screens with their parents, the study found it doesn't help their language skills. (此外，当孩子们和父母一起观看屏幕时，这对他们的语言技能没有帮助。)”带孩子看屏幕对他们的语言技能没有帮助。F项(另一项研究也表明，年幼的孩子从屏幕上学不到太多东西。)补充了相关研究结果，支持了上文的观点。故选F。 3. 上文“The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children. (研究表明，父母在和孩子在一起时，应该尽量不要花太多时间在设备上。)”建议父母尽量减少在孩子面前使用手机的时间。A项(我们实际上并不需要一直使用手机。)进一步强调了减少手机依赖的重要性和原因，与上文建议的内容一致。故选A。 4. 上文提到“We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn’t. (我们生活在一个看似一切都紧急的世界，但实际上并非如此。)”我们生活的世界并非看起来那么紧急。E项(尽量不要给自己施加压力，要求自己立即回应所有事情。)指出不必要求自己立即回复所有的事。下文“It’s simply not possible. (这根本不可能。)”给出原因。因此E项承上启下。故选E。 5. 下文“It’s never too late to repair. Spend some extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone like the dinner table. By caring about your kid's development and looking into tips like these, you are already doing a great job. (修复永远不晚。多花点时间一起阅读或在无手机区域(如餐桌)相处。关心孩子的发展并关注这些建议，你已经做得很好了。)”提出修复孩子的习惯的具体建议，G选项(但如果父母或孩子已经花了太多时间在屏幕上，他们不应该过于焦虑。)承接下文，提出了一个观点，即父母不必因为过去过度使用屏幕而过于焦虑，因为还有修复的机会，这与下文提到的修复和积极行动的建议相呼应。故选G项。 Passage 5 (2025·河南安阳·一模)As we all know, not all thoughts are welcome. Intrusive(入侵的) thoughts often emerge as unwanted visitors, disrupting our minds. They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation. 1 . Most people experience intrusive thoughts from time to time. For example, if someone is driving, they might have an urge to drive off a bridge. Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much attention to them. 2 . And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible. This can lead to them performing compulsions(强制行为) to try and reduce their anxiety. Fortunately, there are strategies to deal with intrusive thoughts. Accept them. Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind. 3 . Try to just observe them and allow time to pass. Remember that intrusive thoughts are normal, and just having a thought doesn’t make it come true. 4 . We know it’s difficult sometimes! Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle. Stay present. The more present you are in the “here and now”, the less power you’re giving to these nagging fears and negative thoughts. You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath. 5 . A. Love yourself B. Don’t try to push them away C. Never be too hard on yourself D. However, some people become troubled by their intrusive thoughts E. They can be anything that a person finds inconsistent with their values F. That can help bring your attention back and break the cycle of intrusive thoughts G. People who have such terrible experiences may be easy to have intrusive thoughts 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. B 4. A 5. F 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了侵入性想法以及如何处理它们。 1. 上文“They are involuntary and unwanted mental ideas or urges that pop into our minds without invitation.(它们是无意识的、不受欢迎的心理想法或冲动，未经邀请就突然出现在我们的脑海中)”解释侵入性想法，E项“它们可以是任何一个人认为与他们的价值观不一致的东西”进一步进行阐释，故选E。 2. 上文“Most people know they would never do such things and don’t pay much attention to them.(大多数人都知道他们永远不会做这样的事情，也不会太在意)”提到大多数人不会太在意侵入性想法，结合下文“And they worry that these thoughts will come true or cause them to do something terrible.(他们担心这些想法会成真或导致他们做一些可怕的事情)”可知，也有人担心侵入性想法，故空处应是表示转折关系，D项“然而，有些人会被这些侵入性的想法所困扰”符合语境，故选D。 3. 根据上文“Accept and allow the thoughts into your mind.(接受并允许这些想法进入你的大脑)”可知，我们应该接受并允许这些想法，B项“不要试图推开他们”与上文语义一致，B项中“them”指代上文的“thoughts”，故选B。 4. 根据本段中“Developing a sympathetic mindset toward yourself can do so much against unwanted thoughts, though. Treat yourself with the same kindness you would offer to a friend going through a similar struggle.(培养一种对自己有同情心的心态可以很大程度上消除不必要的想法。对待你自己，就像对待一个正在经历类似挣扎的朋友一样)”可知，本段是说要对自己怀有一种同情、怜爱之情，A项“爱你自己”符合语境，故选A。 5. 上文“You can try some grounding exercises, such as focusing on your breath.(你可以尝试一些基础练习，比如专注于你的呼吸)”建议尝试一些基础练习，F项“这可以帮助你把注意力拉回来，打破侵入性思想的循环”说明其好处，符合语境。故选F。 Passage 6 (2025·河南驻马店·一模)Noise is more than just an annoyance; it has serious consequences for our health and wellbeing. 1 Loud sounds can damage the auditory nerve, leading to hearing loss. The risk is related to volume, pitch and duration. 2 About 1/8 of kids and teens have permanent hearing damage. Research indicates that kids should avoid sounds over 75 decibels(分贝), emphasizing the need to be careful about noise exposure from a young age. The brain’s role in processing sound is also crucial. New research looks into how it interprets what we hear and why some sounds are unpleasant. 3 People’s perception(感知) of a sound can depend on what they think. Misophonia, where certain sounds cause great pain, may be connected to the brain’s interpretation of sounds. Understanding these psychological aspects is beneficial to handling noise-related problems. 4 It can even affect a person’s ability to learn and perform academically. Studies show noisy classrooms can make it harder for kids to focus, read, remember, and do well on tests. It can also result in “noisier brains”, making it difficult to concentrate even in quiet settings. However, activities like team sports might help reduce this background noise as they train the brain to focus on relevant sounds. The stress caused by noise extends beyond the brain. 5 It can cause anxiety, depression, headaches, heart disease, and digestive problems. Furthermore, nighttime traffic noise may be associated with cardiovascular(心血管的) issues and poor sleep. The continuous stress from noise disturbs the body’s normal functioning. To protect hearing, using earplugs is essential for protecting the delicate inner ear structures, especially in noisy environments. A. The effects of noise on our ears are well-known. B. Noise affects not only our ears but also our brains. C. In learning environments, noise can cause problems. D. Noise can have a negative impact on our mental health. E. It shows noise can have a great effect on our overall health. F. One way to protect our ears is to limit our exposure to loud noises. G. This damage can have a long-term impact on a person’s hearing ability. 【答案】1. A 2. G 3. B 4. C 5. E 【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要阐述了噪音对我们健康的严重影响。 1. 根据前文“Noise is more than just an annoyance; it has serious consequences for our health and wellbeing.(噪音不仅仅是一种烦恼；它对我们的健康和幸福有严重的影响)”以及后文“Loud sounds can damage the auditory nerve, leading to hearing loss.(大声的声音会损害听觉神经，导致听力丧失)”可知前文讲述噪音对健康和幸福有严重的影响，后文开始讲述对听力的影响，所以空处应是过渡句，A项“The effects of noise on our ears are well-known.(噪音对我们耳朵的影响是众所周知的)”承接上文，引出下文。符合文意。故选A项。 2. 根据前文“The risk is related to volume, pitch and duration.(风险与音量、音高和持续时间有关)”以及后文“About 1/8 of kids and teens have permanent hearing damage.(大约1/8的儿童和青少年有永久性听力损伤)”可知，前文讲述损伤的有关因素，后文讲述了大量儿童和青少年有永久性听力损伤，所以G项“This damage can have a long-term impact on a person’s hearing ability.(这种损伤会对一个人的听力能力产生长期影响)”承接上文，引出下文，符合文意。故选G项。 3. 根据前文“The brain’s role in processing sound is also crucial. New research looks into how it interprets what we hear and why some sounds are unpleasant.(大脑在处理声音方面的作用也很重要。新的研究着眼于大脑如何解读我们听到的声音，以及为什么有些声音令人不愉快)”可知，本段主要讲述噪音对大脑的影响，所以B项“Noise affects not only our ears but also our brains.(噪音不仅影响我们的耳朵，也影响我们的大脑)”符合本段主题。故选B项。 4. 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It can even affect a person’s ability to learn and perform academically. Studies show noisy classrooms can make it harder for kids to focus, read, remember, and do well on testsIt can also result in “noisier brains”, making it difficult to concentrate even in quiet settings.(它甚至会影响一个人的学习能力和学业表现。研究表明，嘈杂的教室会让孩子们更难集中注意力、阅读、记忆和在考试中取得好成绩，还会导致“嘈杂的大脑”，即使在安静的环境中也很难集中注意力)”可知，本段主要讲述噪音对学习的影响，所以C项“In learning environments, noise can cause problems.(在学习环境中，噪音会引起问题)”符合本段主题。故选C项。 5. 根据后文“It can cause anxiety, depression, headaches, heart disease, and digestive problems. Furthermore, nighttime traffic noise may be associated with cardiovascular (心血管的) issues and poor sleep. The continuous stress from noise disturbs the body’s normal functioning.(它会导致焦虑、抑郁、头痛、心脏病和消化问题。此外，夜间交通噪音可能与心血管问题和睡眠不佳有关。来自噪音的持续压力扰乱了身体的正常功能)”可知，本段主要讲述噪音会引起整体健康问题，所以E项“It shows noise can have a great effect on our overall health.(它表明噪音对我们的整体健康有很大的影响)”符合本段主题。故选E项。 Passage 7 (2025河南省焦作市博爱县第一中学高三上学期一模)An old study in the advertising literature found that we’re more likely to read advertisements for the products we have bought, even if they have proved to be “lemons”, or useless. This phenomenon also applies to our decision-making process. Humans sometimes make bad choices and stick with them despite negative consequences. ___1___ But in general bad choices have to do with acting out of emotion and not out of reason. Strong emotions can cloud our thinking and lead us down one rabbit hole after another. Doubling down on a bad choice may also relate to our self-esteem and the ability to admit mistakes. Narcissists(自恋者) usually won’t admit a mistake because it contradicts their self-image. But the fact is that many of us aren’t narcissistic. ___2___ Even when trapped in a bad relationship, we may still stick with it, hoping things will eventually change for the better. Resilience involves managing strong emotions and preventing them from fully dictating our decisions. Considering emotion is important, enthusiasm for something can move us forward, but it can also block our vision. ___3___ While relying solely on our “gut feeling” can be helpful, it works best when we use our head, integrating intuitive insights with logical thinking. Doubling down is generally unwise. We need to acknowledge our errors and be willing to say we’re sorry and apologize. ___4___ In fact, it’s smarter than denying mistakes. By admitting them, we learn valuable lessons and promote personal growth. Recognizing when to cut our losses is crucial, allowing us to pursue new opportunities with confidence. ___5___ A. And we often struggle with this. B. The reasons for that are complex. C. Make our decisions with full passion. D. There is nothing wrong with doing this. E. So stop trying to make lemonade from bad lemons. F. The more errors you make, the more you will learn. G. We should consider what’s right, not just what feels right. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. G 4. D 5.

However, nowadays, this is the first time in history that humans have been exposed to such a constant flow of information. While it’s important to stay informed, too much information can make us feel confused and anxious. As we all know, too many high-calorie foods can lead to obesity. 1 We’ re not just seeking relevant information to increase our chances of survival anymore. We fall into rabbit holes, scroll(滚屏) our feeds mindlessly, and watch video after video by clicking on the recommended links. 2 And we have lost control over the content we consume. Just as you try to eat healthily to improve your physical health, going on an information diet is a way to control what you consume to take care of your mental health. Here are some simple ways to start an information diet to break the information addiction. Prevent unwanted information. 3 Make sure to set up filters. Try some apps to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. Dress the table. Shape your environment to make sure you’re not overly tempted to have access to too much useless information. 4 For example, you can change your social media settings to reduce the number of notifications. Add more offline foods to your content menu. Increase your levels of “offline foods” — content you can consume away from a screen and that you can purchase or download in advance. 5 It’s incredibly effective to block time for reading stuff online. If you’re really struggling with information addiction, you can even put a timer on. This will force you to prioritize information that really matters. A. Focus on reading stuff online. B. We are addicted to information. C. Schedule your content consumption. D. Subscribing to many newsletters can quickly become a mess. E. You can also adopt some effective strategies to reduce distractions. F. Similarly, this new information overload encourages over consumption. G. Instead, it’s about designing your habits and shaping your environment. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. D 4. E 5.
