专题04 阅读理解七选五 （一） （吉林省吉林市第一中学2023-2024高二下期末试题） Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 1 The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power” . 2 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles. 3 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go. Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be assertive. Express our needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. 4 Additionally, detach from external influences. Avoid excessive concern over others’ opinions and speculation on others’ thoughts. Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize our personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t interfere with other people’s subjects and don’t let others interfere with ours either. 5 Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable. A．Learn to view the problem as two parts. B．That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from. C．I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. D．Behind insensitivity is a strong sense of self-awareness. E．Being a highly sensitive person can come with many challenges. F．It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward. G．Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．D 4．G 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先解释了敏感性的定义和可能带来的问题，然后转向讨论不敏感性的力量，并给出了实践不敏感性的策略。 1．由上文“Being sensitive means that you are observant, careful, and thoughtful. It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. (敏感意味着你善于观察、细心和深思熟虑。这也可能意味着你有时会过度解释或过度反应感知到的批评或判断。如果你是一个高度敏感的人，你更有可能误读他人的信号，感觉到社会威胁，并努力适应新环境)”可知，这里需要一个总结如何应对高度敏感的句子。B选项“That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from. (这就是麻木不仁的必要性的来源)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 2．由上文“The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power”.(不敏感的力量可以解释为“迟钝的力量”)”可知，上文提到了“迟钝的力量”，接下来应该解释这种力量具体意味着什么。F选项“It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward. (它意味着冷静面对挫折并坚定前行的能力)”恰当地解释了“迟钝力量”的正面含义，即在逆境中的韧性，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 3．由下文“That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go. (这就是为什么不敏感能让一个人更好地在竞争环境中生存和适应的重要原因之一。认识自己是困难的，但正确地认识自己无疑是一种优秀的能力——这是许多成功人士共有的特点，他们都清楚地知道自己的长处在哪里，自己能做什么，自己想要什么，以及要走的方向)”可知，后文提及自我认知能力及成功人士的特点，此处应引出不敏感与自我意识之间的联系。D选项“Behind insensitivity is a strong sense of self-awareness. (在不敏感的背后是一种强烈的自我意识)”指出不敏感实际上是基于对自我的深刻了解，能引起下文，符合题意。故选D。 4．由上文“Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be assertive. Express our needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset.(练习不敏感包括几个关键的策略。首先，要自信。积极自信地表达我们的需求和意见。第二，树立前瞻性思维)”可知，该空需要接续前文关于前瞻性思维策略的内容。G选项“Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. (关注长期目标，而不是当下生活的起伏)”正好强调了如何实践前瞻性思维，即忽视短期波动，专注于长远规划，能承接上文，符合题意。故选G。 5．由下文“Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable (一旦你变得有点“生硬”，放慢节奏，你就会感觉更舒服)”可知，最后一段鼓励读者采纳不敏感的态度，并概述了这样做的好处。C选项“I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. (我希望每个人都能获得不敏感的能力)”作为总结性质的句子，鼓励大家学会不敏感，适合放在最后一段段首作为寄语，且能引起下文，符合题意。故选C。 （二） （吉林省松原市2023-2024高二下期末试题） The Importance of Regular Eye Exams Regular eye exams are just as important as maintaining good eye care habits.

But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine. Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 2 Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 3 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. 4 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance. Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 5 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly. A．After all, we work out to build our muscles. B．Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan. C．But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. D．For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. E．Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. F．Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. G．Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．G 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何制定一个居家健身的计划。 1．前文“A gym membership can be nice. (健身会员卡是不错的选择)”指出有健身会员卡是不错的，后文“All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. (你所需要的只是在家里给自己一点时间和空间)”说明在家锻炼也很好，因此C项“But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. (但你不一定非要有一个才能保持好身材)”符合语境，说明健身会员卡并非保持好身材的必需品，和前文构成转折，引出后文的观点，其中的one指代前文的A gym membership。故选C。 2．前文“Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. (做一个循序渐进的有氧运动，使用你想锻炼的肌肉)”建议循序渐进地开展有氧运动，因此D项“For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. (例如，如果你要跑地更远，就慢慢地跑)”符合语境，举出有氧运动中跑步的例子，承接前文的建议。故选D。 3．前文“Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). (力量训练，也称为阻力训练，使你更强壮，培养耐力)”介绍力量训练的概念和作用，后文“This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. (这有助于你在每次锻炼时都能进行更难的锻炼)”指出一个做法的好处，因此G项“Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. (试着做一些锻炼身体各个部位的运动，让你感觉更强壮)”符合语境，建议如何做力量训练，承接前文的介绍，引出后文的好处，后文的This指代选项内容。故选G。 4．空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. (当你完成最后一组运动时，你可能急于停止锻炼，但是花几分钟做一些低强度的运动，降低你的心率)”可知，本段建议在最后做低强度的运动，因此E项“Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. (每次锻炼后花5到10分钟做放松练习)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的cooling down和后文的low-intensity exercises呼应。故选E。 5．前文“It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. (说你想健身是一回事，但这对每个人来说都意味着不同的东西)”指出健身实际上因人而异，后文“It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. (它应该是具体的、现实的、有意义的)”说明一个事物的标准，因此F项“Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. (弄清楚你计划实现什么，并把它作为你的目标)”符合语境，建议设定自己的目标，承接前文，引出后文的标准，后文的It指代其中的your goal。故选F。 （五） （吉林省普通高中G6教考联盟高二下期末试卷） How to Study More Effectively No matter whether you are preparing for some specific course, a professional degree, or an entrance exam, it’s important to maximize study time and improve the efficiency of study. 1 You can use a calendar, an app, or a pinboard time table to draft a schedule that works best for you. Include the study time, sleep, and the socializing time in the schedule. Make sure you give yourself more time than you think you need, especially if it’s a subject you struggle with. You can also cut your study time into short sessions. Your most productive studying typically occurs within the first 25 to 30 minutes of hitting books, so try to study in 30 minutes, and take a 5—10 minute break, so that you are able to absorb and consolidate the information. 2 Studying isn’t only spending hours and hours on list of what you think will be on an exam or quiz. 3 This can be done through a six-step approach: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. You should focus on a method that will help you achieve a higher level of learning. The higher levels of learning focus on asking questions such as what if, how and why rather than where, what and who. 4 Research shows that being tested is not only useful in evaluating how well you have learned something but also valuable for avoiding future mistakes. Answering questions unsuccessfully can help you understand concepts better. If your professor offers you practice exams, take them home and learn from them. Understand why you got certain questions wrong and others right. 5 Force each other to expand answers in order to understand the material better. Following the suggestions to study more effectively will mean shorter and more efficient study sessions, and eventually, better grades! A．You can quiz yourself whenever possible. B．Effective studying starts with the right attitude. C．It is important to study in a smart way and go the extra mile. D．Study with friends or classmates and question each other on the material. E．You are more likely to do well before a quiz when you have time to review. F．Creating a schedule is the first and most important thing to maximize your study time. G．This is why a certain balance should be made and studying time should be cut into shorter sessions. 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．C 4．A 5．D 【分析】这是一篇说明文。无论你是在准备一些特定的课程，专业学位，还是入学考试，最大限度地利用学习时间，提高学习效率都是很重要的。文章主要介绍了一些更有效学习的方法。 1．根据后文“You can use a calendar, an app, or a pinboard time table to draft a schedule that works best for you. Include the study time, sleep, and the socializing time in the schedule. Make sure you give yourself more time than you think you need, especially if it’s a subject you struggle with.(你可以使用日历、应用程序或针板时间表来起草最适合你的时间表。包括学习时间、睡眠时间和社交时间。确保你给自己的时间比你认为自己需要的更多，尤其是当这是一个你正在努力克服的问题时)”可知，本段的建议是制定学习时间表，F选项中a schedule对应后文中a schedule。故F选项“制定学习计划是最大化你的学习时间的首要也是最重要的事情”符合语境，故选F。 2．根据上文“You can also cut your study time into short sessions. Your most productive studying typically occurs within the first 25 to 30 minutes of hitting books, so try to study in 30 minutes, and take a 5—10 minute break, so that you are able to absorb and consolidate the information.(你也可以把你的学习时间缩短。 你最有效的学习通常发生在阅读的前25 - 30分钟，所以试着在30分钟学习，休息5到10分钟，以便你能够吸收和巩固知识)”可知，上文提到的建议是缩短学习时间，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文继续对这一做法进行说明，G选项中be cut into shorter sessions对应上文中cut your study time into short sessions。故G选项“这就是为什么应该做出某种平衡，把学习时间缩短为更短的时间”符合语境，故选G。 3．根据上文“Studying isn’t only spending hours and hours on list of what you think will be on an exam or quiz.(学习并不仅仅是花费大量的时间在你认为会在考试或小测验中出现的东西上)”以及后文“This can be done through a six-step approach: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. You should focus on a method that will help you achieve a higher level of learning. The higher levels of learning focus on asking questions such as what if, how and why rather than where, what and who.(这可以通过六个步骤来实现：记忆、理解、应用、分析、评估和创造。你应该专注于一种能帮助你达到更高水平学习的方法。更高层次的学习侧重于问“如果”、“如何”和“为什么”等问题，而不是“在哪里”、“做什么”和“谁”)”可知，上文提到“学习并不仅仅是花费大量的时间在你认为会在考试或小测验中出现的东西上”，后文则提到了学习的六个步骤，可知本句应承接上文继续说明学习方式。故C选项“以一种聪明的方式学习并加倍努力是很重要的”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据后文“Research shows that being tested is not only useful in evaluating how well you have learned something but also valuable for avoiding future mistakes.(研究表明，接受测试不仅有助于评估你学到了什么，而且对避免未来的错误也很有价值)”可知，后文提到了接受测试的好处，可知本句是在建议测试自己，A选项中quiz对应后文中being tested。故A选项“你可以随时测试自己”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据后文“Force each other to expand answers in order to understand the material better.(为了更好地理解材料，迫使对方展开答案)”可知，后文提到了迫使对方展开答案，可知本句是在说明后文提到的“对方”包括哪些人，D选项中question对应后文answers。故D选项“与朋友或同学一起学习，并就材料互相提问”符合语境，故选D。 （六） （吉林省辽宁省实验中学联考2023-2024高二下期末试题） World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment. Established by the United Nations in1974, it has become a platform for the public in over 100 countries. 1 Here are four simple ways you can care for your environment. ●Reduce, Reuse, Recycle The principle “reduce, reuse, recycle” is important. 2 Reduce: Be mindful of your consumption. Use products with minimal packaging and consider if you truly need that new item. Reuse: Think of creative ways to repurpose items. Recycle: Make sure to recycle paper, plastics, metals, and electronics. ●Conserve water Water is a precious resource, and conserving it helps ensure its availability for future generations. A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water over time so ensure all taps, pipes, and toilets are leak-free. 3 ●Choose sustainable transportation Transportation is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Opting for more sustainable modes of transport can make a big difference. 4 Also consider buses, trains, or carpooling to reduce the vehicles on the road. Consider investing in an electric vehicle, which has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional cars. ● 5 This step helps reduce your carbon footprint and promotes sustainable agriculture. Local products travel shorter distances to reach you, reducing transportation emissions. Plus, organic farming practices reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health. Small, consistent actions can lead to significant benefits. Remember, every action counts ,and together we can create a more sustainable future. A．Support local and organic products B．For short distances, consider walking or cycling. C．Improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife. D．This year, we focus on everyday steps that anyone can take. E．Use water-efficient appliances, for example, low-flow shower heads.

A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water over time so ensure all taps, pipes, and toilets are leak-free.(水是一种宝贵的资源，保护它有助于确保子孙后代可以获得水。随着时间的推移，滴水的水龙头会浪费大量的水，所以要确保所有的水龙头、管道和厕所都没有漏水)”可知，本段主要提出节水的方法。故E选项“使用节水器具，例如低流量淋浴喷头”符合语境，故选E。 4．根据后文“Also consider buses, trains, or carpooling to reduce the vehicles on the road. Consider investing in an electric vehicle, which has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional cars.(还可以考虑乘坐公共汽车、火车或拼车，以减少路上的车辆。考虑投资电动汽车，与传统汽车相比，电动汽车对环境的影响更小)”可知，本句主要是在针对交通方式的选择提出建议。故B选项“对于短距离，可以考虑步行或骑自行车”符合语境，故选B。 5．根据本段内容“This step helps reduce your carbon footprint and promotes sustainable agriculture. Local products travel shorter distances to reach you, reducing transportation emissions. Plus, organic farming practices reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health.(这一步有助于减少你的碳足迹，促进可持续农业。本地产品到达您手中的距离更短，从而减少了运输排放。此外，有机农业减少了农药和化肥的使用，促进了土壤健康)”可知，本段的主旨是支持购买本地产品，A选项中local对应后文Local products。故A选项“支持本地和有机产品”符合语境，故选A。 （七） （吉林省吉林市田家炳高级中学2023-2024高二下期末联考试题) Tips for Traveling Internationally with Kids Traveling anywhere with kids can be challenging, who can make or break the holiday for the whole family. 1 Not necessarily! Here are some practical tips on how to travel internationally with kids safely and stress-free. ● 2 Kids have a tiny attention span, so you’ll need to keep them engaged during the long voyage from takeoff to landing. Bring an armful of new toys, books, stickers, pencils and crayons, and load your tablet with new apps. And bring some healthy snacks, too. ● Prioritize（优先考虑） sleep and food. These are two keys to kids’ happiness anywhere in the world: Keep them well-fed and well-rested. 3 Pick and choose late nights carefully. Build your agenda around your children. Don’t be too ambitious and pack the days full. Leave lots of downtime. And always have snacks on hand for times when the next meal is nowhere in sight. ● Provide options and plans.

Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks? 1 No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly? It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks. 2 Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 3 . Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming. 4 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list. 5 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as you are only working on one specific task at a time. A．I used to be in the same boat. B．I believe you have encountered questions like this C．The benefits of Time Blocking are considerable. D．You work your way down the priority list and everything goes as planned. E．You can regard it as a combination of a To-do list and a Calendar schedule. F．You’ll need to be very specific about what you’re planning to do in that time block. G．While it sounds logical, it makes you jump between different kinds of tasks without focus. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．G 4．F 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种时间管理技巧“时间保护”，介绍了其操作方式以及好处。 1．根据上文“Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks?(你是否曾经抱怨过一天的时间不够用？你是否经常发现自己不能按时完成分配给你的任务？)”以及后文“No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly?(无论我多么努力地保持专注和高效，每天的任务总是堆积如山。这种情况一直没有改变，直到我发现了“时间保护”，从那时起，我的日常安排就变得更好了。那么它到底是什么呢？)”可知，后文提到了作者自己也经历过时间不够用的情况，即作者以前也是时间不够用。故A选项“我以前也是这样”符合语境，故选A。 2．根据上文“It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks.(这是一种简单的时间管理技巧，你可以把一天的时间分成几个时间段，专门处理特定的任务或任务组。这是一种流行的方法，可以提高你的工作效率，让你专注于你的任务)”可知，上文介绍了一种时间管理技巧，且提到了“把一天的时间分成几个时间段，专门处理特定的任务或任务组”，即把待办事项列表和日历计划相结合，故E选项“你可以把它看作是待办事项列表和日历计划的结合”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据上文“Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app.(想象一下，明天有十几个任务要完成。像大多数人一样，你打开你选择的待办事项应用程序，整齐地列出你计划做的所有事情，然后在你的日历应用程序中安排一些重要的会议和提醒)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应对上文的做法进行总结：这听起来合乎逻辑，但它会让你在不同的任务之间跳来跳去，无法集中注意力。故G选项“虽然这听起来合乎逻辑，但它会让你在不同的任务之间跳来跳去，无法集中注意力”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文“Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming.(一旦你开始“时间保护”，你就会克服这个缺点)”以及后文“The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list.(你的任务越具体，你就越专注，也就越有效率。一个合理安排的时间表比任何形式的任务清单都要有效得多)”可知，本句主要说明是如何通过“时间保护”克服这个缺点的，F选项中specific对应后文specific。故F选项“你需要非常具体地说明你在那段时间内计划做什么”符合语境，故选F。 5．根据后文“It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination (拖延症), as you are only working on one specific task at a time.(它不仅使你的待办事项清单更易于管理，而且还能让你更好地控制你的一天，提高你的效率。一天中的每一项任务或一组任务都是你在这个时间框架内完成的一个小目标，这样你就更有决心在最后期限前完成目标。它还能提高你的注意力，帮助你摆脱拖延症，因为你一次只做一件特定的任务)”可知，本段的主旨主要关于时间保护带来的好处。故C选项“时间保护的好处是相当可观的”符合语境，故选C。 （十二） （吉林省三区九校2023-2024高二下期末试题） City parks and open space improve our physical and mental health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work. 1 2 In Boulder, Colorado, a greenbelt added $5.4 million to the total property values of one neighbourhood. Other things being equal, there was a $4.20 decrease in the price of property for every foot one moved away from the greenbelt, and the average value of homes next to the greenbelt was 32% percent higher than those 3,200 feet away. Parks attract tourists. 3 As community landmarks, parks offer a marketing tool for cities to attract businesses and conferences. Parks can be used to hold festivals, concerts and athletics events, bringing additional boosts to the local economy. Green space provides rich ecosystem services. 4 The U.S. Forest Service found that over a 50-year lifetime, one tree produces $31,250 worth of oxygen, provides $62,000worth of air pollution control, recycles $37,500 worth of water, and controls $31,250worth of soil erosion (流失). A park’s trees store water, reducing the rate at which it flows into a city’s stormwater treatment facilities. Parks increase the amount of a city’s pervious surfaces, which allow rainwater to pass slowly into the ground. 5 A．Your local city park may improve your health. B．Homebuyers prefer homes close to parks and open space. C．It makes a great contribution to the improvement of our living environment.

It can also mean you sometimes overinterpret or overreact to perceived criticism or judgment. If you tend to be a highly sensitive person, you are more likely to misread signals from others, sense social threats, and struggle to adapt to new circumstances. 1 The power of insensitivity can be interpreted as “sluggish (迟钝的) power” . 2 For example, those working on complex research projects with “sluggish power” persist with focus and determination in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines and limited resources. Their resilience facilitates effective problem-solving, ensuring the successful completion of tasks despite obstacles. 3 That is one of the important reasons why insensitivity allows a person to better survive and adapt in a competitive environment. Knowing oneself is difficult, but knowing oneself correctly is undoubtedly an excellent ability — a trait shared by many successful people, who all clearly know where their strengths are, what they can do, what they want, and what direction to go. Practicing insensitivity involves several key strategies. Firstly, be assertive. Express our needs and opinions positively and with confidence. Secondly, adopt a forward-looking mindset. 4 Additionally, detach from external influences. Avoid excessive concern over others’ opinions and speculation on others’ thoughts. Lastly, manage relationships. Recognize our personal responsibilities while respecting others’ boundaries. Don’t interfere with other people’s subjects and don’t let others interfere with ours either. 5 Once you become a bit “blunt” and slow down the pace, you will feel more comfortable. A．Learn to view the problem as two parts. B．That’s where the need to be insensitive comes from. C．I hope everyone can obtain the ability to be insensitive. D．Behind insensitivity is a strong sense of self-awareness. E．Being a highly sensitive person can come with many challenges. F．It implies the ability to calmly face the setbacks and firmly move forward. G．Focus on long-term goals rather than the ups and downs of life at the moment. （二） （吉林省松原市2023-2024高二下期末试题） The Importance of Regular Eye Exams Regular eye exams are just as important as maintaining good eye care habits.

Long hours of exposure to digital devices can cause digital eye strain (眼疲劳), which may lead to symptoms such as headaches, dry eyes, and discomfort after extended use. You will experience discomfort or dryness in your eyes. Your doctor can provide tips on relieving eye strain from screen time. These symptoms of dry eye or other conditions require medical attention. 4 You’re due for an update on your eyesight. 5 Even if you don’t notice any changes in your vision, it’s important to have your eyes checked regularly to ensure you have the correct lenses for best vision. A．You might need new glasses. B．Ignoring them could worsen the problem. C．You spend a lot of time in front of screens. D．Your doctor can help you find the right glasses for your needs.

Whether it’s asking for a pay rise or facing a co-worker over their behaviour, these conversations can be difficult to have without the other person getting angry. 1 . Here’s my tips on how to tackle your next difficult conversation. Plan First, you need to plan what you’re going to say. 2 . Write down what you want out of the conversation and be clear on what you want to happen as a result. For example, you may decide: “I want to get an agreement on deadlines for this project and a clear outline of who will be responsible for each task.” Prepare The second thing you need to do is write down the key messages you want to get across in the conversation. 3 . Remember to speak slowly, breathe. If you are particularly nervous, rehearse (排练) what you plan to say in front of a friend so you know you are coming across as you wish to. Be empathetic Finally, put yourself in the other person’s shoes — however annoying that person might be. The useless boss who never gives you feedback is simply struggling with her own workload. 4 , the more we can plan how to work with them towards a successful outcome. When you have the conversation, don’t get blind-sided by fast talkers.

It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 5 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful.

Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks? 1 No matter how hard I tried to be focused and productive, tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day. That didn’t change until I discovered Time Blocking, since when my daily schedule has been transformed for the better. So what is it exactly? It is a simple time management technique where you divided your day into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. It’s a popular method to boost your productivity and allow you to focus on your tasks. 2 Imagine that a dozen or so tasks are due tomorrow. Like a majority of people, you open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do, and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 3 . Once you start Time Blocking, you’ll overcome this shortcoming. 4 The more specific you are about the task, the more focused you will be and thus, more productive. A properly organized time-blocked schedule is far more effective than any form of to-do list. 5 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and increases your productivity. Each task or group of tasks in a day is a small-scale goal for you to achieve within that time-frame, so you are more determined to meet deadlines and reach your goals.
