All you need to do is just making art. Here are things you need to know in particular to start your creative art habit. 2 “People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 3 Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don’t feel like that you have to stick to one thing. 4 Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 5 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. “Your creative corner is kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your comment to invest in yourself and your well-being.” A．Let it go that you’re not an artist. B．Do whatever you are interested in. C．Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art. D．It is also good to figure out your way of creative expression.

Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. 6 It just might make you happier, healthier, and it could even make you a better student. Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. 7 And those feelings make a person happy. Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. 8 Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? 9 Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned.

Find a diet that works Trendy diets are often extreme, but that’s not going to help you sustain a healthy lifestyle. “As a general standard your diet should consist of 20-30 per cent fat, 40-50 per cent carbs and 25-30 per cent protein,” says Farren Morgan, a military fitness coach. 12 Run a 5k You don’t have to run the length of Africa. Training for your local ParkRun — a weekly group 5k — is a great place to start. Fran Bungay says,“ 13 Alternating a minute running with a minute walking is fine to begin with. Once you can run for 20 minutes, try to push for 30.” Remove back pain “Spending all day at a desk can lead to tight hips, which may then lead to pain in the lower back and shoulders,” Clift says.“ 14 ” You can also try the knee twist. Lie on your back and bring your knees up to your chest, before slowly lowering them to the left and to the right while keeping your back flat on the floor. Make the gym a habit Studies have found that activity trackers can help people develop healthy routines over the long term, and that it always takes about 66 days to form a lasting habit. 15 A．Aim for three 20-minute training a week.

According to scientific studies, being in nature makes people less stressed. In a recent experiment in Japan, one group of people were asked to walk through a forest while another group had to walk through a busy city. 16 . However, researchers found that after the walks, the people who had walked in the forest had better moods, less anxiety and even lower blood pressure. So the experiment showed that it was being in nature that helped people feel less stressed, not just the walk. Gregory Bratman from Stanford University in the United States found in experiments that a walk in nature could have important cognitive (认知) benefits, improving a person’s memory and creativity. 17 . Teachers find that when children are enjoying the natural world, their awareness and creativity are improved, along with their reasoning and observational skills. Why does being in nature bring so many benefits for us? 18 , so we have an instinctive (本能的) love for it. Even just looking out of the window at a beautiful tree can help us feel less stressed. Scientists also think that being in nature helps our brain recover from a lot of activities that we usually do during the day such as working on math problems or using our cell phone. 19 — putting all our attention into one thing, which can make us feel tired. But when we are outside, we use undirected attention. We see an interesting cloud or a beautiful flower, and our attention moves quickly and easily from one thing to another. So being in nature gives our brains the chance to rest. 20 . For many of us, nature is something we can enjoy just by walking out of our door. So enjoy the nature around you! A．The walks were equally long and hard B．Regular workouts are surprisingly helpful C．One idea is that human beings come from nature D．Nature’s benefits have been scientifically confirmed E．In these activities, we use a lot of directed attention F．Being in nature increases people’s mental health as well G．We can see this in schools where outdoor learning has been introduced （五） （2023-2024高二下河南省开封县市重点高中期末试题） While there are numerous tools to help you determine your strengths, try starting with these questions. Be as honest, clear, and objective as possible. What are your top three qualities or strengths? 21 . To make it easy, send an email to 20 of your closest friends and family members. Tell them you need their help in identifying your three top qualities or strengths. You’ll quickly start receiving responses. Start a list from the answers you receive. 22 . Take the three most common answers and use them as your guide. What do you do every day? Most people tend to spend time on the things they like to do rather than the things they don’t like. 23 . If you find yourself easily making time to read to your kids but avoid making dinner, this behavior could be telling you something. People move toward things they’re naturally good at doing. 24 ? What people think you do and what they say about you are two different things. For example, they may think you’re cleaning all day long but still think you’re a terrible housekeeper. So you need to question people about it and tell them it’s okay to tell the truth because this is about your personal development. What is one mistake you keep repeating? Albert Einstein is known to have described insanity (精神错乱) as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Are you caught in the insanity trap? For me, it was making bread. For years I tried to get my dough (面团) to rise into a nice cottony loaf. 25 . I had advice from friends, watched videos online and tried different recipes all to no avail. I’ve accepted that I can’t make bread and it’s okay. A．Every time I created a hard rock B．The first step is to ask for advice C．What do you like to talk about D．What do other people say about you E．You’ll find a lot of qualities are repeated F．The truth is we don’t have to be good at everything G．It’s often the struggle between the two that causes problems, not the activities （六） （2023-2024高二下河南省焦作市期末试题） Adversity (逆境) is a suffering or a bad situation which most of us will face at some point during our lifetime. Here are ideas you can use to deal with adversity and overcome it. Look to hardships you’ve overcome for motivation. You’ve overcome hardships before and you can do it again. Think about a specific struggle in the past. How did you do it? What got you through it? 26 That way, you can face any new adversity that comes your way. 27 Sure, it might seem difficult to find something funny in a difficult situation. But laughing can help you cope with stress and train your brain to be more positive. All of the benefits of having a good sense of humor can help you overcome adversity. Use adversity to learn and improve yourself. It’s often through difficult times that we learn the most. 28 If you’re dealing with a problem that’s a result of a mistake you made, think about how you can avoid making the same mistake again. Use failure as a chance to look at your planning, preparation, and execution (执行). Your friends can give you a boost when you’re struggling. 29 Be selective with the people you let go into your life and choose positive people who accept your faults and will keep pushing you. Stick with friends who care about you and your dreams. Commit to finding a way to push through a crisis. When you’re faced with a problem, refuse to give in or accept defeat. Instead, approach the problem with determination and devote yourself to overcoming it._ 30 A．Adversity can be a great teacher. B．Push forward through adversity and never quit.

Rotaract is a service club for people aged 18 to 30. Through the Rotaract program, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills. 31 . When we arrived at the Festival we had no idea what we would be asked to do. 32 . My feet were wet within minutes of getting there! 33 , making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show. I’m pleased to say we managed to do this successfully! We also were able to hear the Chicken Shed Theatre group and An get Blue singing — both were brilliant. However, volunteering isn’t supposed to be fun, is it? It is supposed to be a selfless act which you do for others, so the fact that you don’t enjoy it doesn’t matter, right? Wrong! 34 ! It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting, but it can always be fun. And volunteering isn’t necessarily a selfless act — you can learn and develop skills, try new things, and meet lots of new and interesting people. We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be. 35 . For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required.

Relax the body, brain, and breath CNN suggests using deep breathing, in through the nose and out through the mouth, to re-relax and re-enter the sleep zone. To do this, place the hands on the belly and breathe in and out for a count of six respectively, focusing on the stomach’s gentle rising and falling. ____42____ Start by tensing the muscles from the feet to the head. Get up and move Lying still and breathing deeply can help some restless sleepers relax, but if one is unable to return to sleep after about 20 minutes, get out of bed, walk to another room, and engage in a calm activity for a short time. After a few minutes return to bed and it should be easier to get back to sleep. ____43____ If the bedroom environment is stimulating, it can interfere with returning to sleep. According to Healthline, keeping the lights in the room off and using earplugs or white noise to block out any loud noises in the area can be helpful. ____44____ Lights in the room and blue light that comes from a smartphone screen can reduce the level of melatonin (a hormone that regulates sleep cycles) in the body. Write down your fears For those who have a more difficult time letting go of daily concerns and returning to sleep, writing down one’s fears can be a helpful strategy. ____45____ If you are really upset, write to exhaustion. It can be annoying to wake up in the middle of a deep sleep. If this issue persists and other strategies don’t help, one should consult a sleep expert to find the best solutions to help them relax and gain the maximum benefits of a good night’s sleep. A.

For people living with depression, however, it can be a sign of a common symptom called “anhedonia.” Anhedonia is feeling a lack of joy in once—enjoyed activities. This lack of joy can lead one to stop doing things they normally would do for fun, predicting that they won’t be able to appreciate it anyway. Yet, this reasoning is a trap. ___47___ In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a strategy known as behavior activation is often used to fight anhedonia. ___48___ Often, we find more happiness than we predicted we would, and the activity can help counter the effects of depression. ___49___ In acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavior activation focuses on what is meaningful rather than how something makes us feel. By increasing meaningful action, we often improve our moods. A study of individuals diagnosed with late—stage cancer found that a course of ACT improved both symptoms of anhedonia and depression. The core strategy in this approach is to focus away from trying to control what we/feel and zeroing in on what matters to us. Life is ever moving forward. ___50___ Interestingly, at times, when we take the camera away from controlling what we feel toward controlling what we do, we may find that how we feel changes, too, A. Yet, behavior activation does not have to be random. B. It is full of surprises and some good, some not so good. C. Withdrawal from liked activities often only furthers depression. D. If we wait until we “feel like” doing something, we risk missing out. E. It’s as if all the color has disappeared, and the world has turned grey. F. This involves scheduling activities that are meaningful and following through. G.

Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____51____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____52____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____53____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____54____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____55____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try.

Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F.

May it be your love life or a serious life struggle, we must learn to move on. ____56____ Draw a line mentally. Life is going to throw a lot of problems. You need to be mentally prepared for each and every situation. You might find yourself in the same knots, in the same rotting company, and in the same dead ends. ____57____ This line will help you mark your future decisions. ____58____ There is one common mistake that many of us make when dealing with a problem or situation: We try to go through all of it on our own. In order to get out of this situation, you must be willing to bring others into the struggle. When we talk about others, I refer to the people that you are close with. These could be your family and close friends. Try everything in your hands. How can you move on from a struggle unless you have tried everything in your hands? Sometimes we might feel that we have tried out so much and still nothing is working out for us. I know that situation as I have been there. ____59____ Try solutions that you never ever dreamed of, and who knows, they might actually make things better for you. Let go of your past. In order to move on from every struggle and heartbreak, you must let go of the past, guilt, and hatred. ____60____ You may feel like justifying them but they are only going to wear you out in the long run, so you have to avoid them.

Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). ____61____. But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings. Identifying triggers (诱因) After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. ____62____. Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively. ____63____ The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must. Boosting protein and veggies Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. ____64___. Engaging in after-dinner movement ____65____. It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings. A. Reshaping your habits B. Eating properly-portioned meals C They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals D. They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay E. Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits F. Including a protein source at each meal, you feel the less urge to snack later on G. Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking （十四） （2023-2024高二下河南省洛阳市期末试题） Certain brands and products can be easily recognized at a glance by people worldwide. 66 Just mentioning the words golden arches (拱门) brings to mind burgers and fries from McDonald’s. With such universal popularity, many people are confused as to why these large and famous companies do so much advertising and have such large advertising budgets. 67 Most business owners who are just starting to understand how vital advertising is to their growth. Putting in the time and money to market your company can help it grow over time. 68 Continuing to advertise after achieving success helps businesses maintain a positive image with the public. It can also help attract new customers as demographics (客户群体) change as time passes. Furthermore, advertising helps to inform your customers of updates to old products and introduce new ones. However, the ultimate goal of advertising for both big and small companies is to earn more income and maximize profits. 69 Is it better to stick to traditional forms of media, like newspapers and television, or embrace (接纳) new forms of online advertising on social media sites? While many new smaller companies tend to focus their limited budgets on social media and internet marketing, it is usually better for larger, well-established companies to do both. For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. 70 Also, older, wealthier people are more likely to notice television advertising than online advertising. While the focus of advertising might change over time, companies must certainly continue to use it to grow. A．Is advertising necessary? B．After all, shouldn’t their global success speak for itself? C．This same principle holds true for older successful brands. D．Therefore, television advertising gives companies access to more people. E．Another major question companies must find the answer to is how to advertise. F．The money invested in these advertisements could be used for more worthwhile businesses. G．Almost everyone is familiar with the red labeling of Coca-Cola or the symbolic flower logo of Huawei. （十五） （2023-2024高二下河南省商丘重点高中期末试题） Conflict is a normal part of any healthy relationship. 71 The key is not to fear or try to avoid conflict but to learn how, to solve it in a healthy way. When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but , when handled in a respectful, positive way, 72 Whether you’re experiencing conflict, at home, work, or school, learning skills can help you resolve differences in a healthy way and build stronger, more rewarding relationships. 73 It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can range from the need to feel safe and secure or respected and valued, to the need for greater closeness and intimacy. Think about the opposing needs of a toddler and a parent. The child’s need is to explore, so venturing to the street or the cliff edge meets that need. But the parent’s need is to protect the child’s safety, a heed that can only be met by limiting the toddler’s exploration. 74 The ability to successfully resolve conflict depends on your ability to: 75 By staying calm, you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication. Control your emotions and behavior. When you’re in control of your emotions, you can communicate your needs without threatening, intimidating, or punishing others. A．Since these needs are different, conflict arises. B．Conflict arises from differences, both large and small. C．Manage stress quickly while remaining alert and calm. D．Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feeling. E．Differing needs can result in broken deals, decreased profits and lost jobs. F．After all, two people can’t be expected to agree on everything all the time. G．Conflict provides an opportunity to strengthen the bond between two people. （十六） （2023-2024高二下河南省郑州市期末试题） Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week. 76 . Life satisfaction in the United States has remained at the same level for half a century, even though its GDP is much higher than ever before. Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level. 77 . Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation. 78 . I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick. The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being. 79 , while materialism only offers short bursts of pleasure, which wear off fairly quickly. 80 . Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not. A．In a word, money doesn’t mean everything B．They offer a stable and true sense of well-being C．Very few people are lucky enough to get wealthy D．But beyond a certain point, it makes little or no difference E．But research has shown little connection between wealth and well-being F．So, not taking material wealth too seriously is a good start for well-being G．Moreover, we have to end our passion for possessions for the environment （十七） （2023-2024高二下河南省三门峡市期末试题） Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school. 81 One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal, who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.” 82 They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case. The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students. 83 some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative. Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests, 84 The researchers say that, even among people who do not win big prizes, those with many interests are often successful. They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college. 85 Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.

All you need to do is just making art. Here are things you need to know in particular to start your creative art habit. 2 “People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 3 Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don’t feel like that you have to stick to one thing. 4 Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 5 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. “Your creative corner is kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your comment to invest in yourself and your well-being.” A．Let it go that you’re not an artist. B．Do whatever you are interested in. C．Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art. D．It is also good to figure out your way of creative expression. E．There are rules for how much time you should engage in art. F．The act of creation can reduce stress and improve your mood. G．So despite your skill level, you’ll feel all the good things from making art. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．G 4．B 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。艺术创作对人的身心很有好处，文章介绍了一些开始艺术创作习惯需要知道的事情。 1．根据前文“Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body.(无论是绘画，还是用粘土雕刻小蛋糕，艺术创作对你的身心都有好处。)”和后文“But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits.(但你不必成为一名全职艺术家才能获得这些健康益处。)”可知，此处是讲艺术创造能带来的健康益处，所以选项F“创造的行为可以减轻压力，改善你的情绪。”切合文意。故选F。 2．根据后文““People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy.(“人们倾向于认为只有那些非常擅长艺术的人才能称自己为艺术家，但每个人都有创造性表达的能力。”艺术疗法的主要研究员凯马尔说。)”可知，此处是指不要觉得自己不是艺术家，所以选项A“不要纠结你不是艺术家。”切合文意。故选A。 3．根据前文“Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands.(她的研究表明，经验丰富的艺术家和新手在健康结果上没有区别。)”可知，此处是讲无论技艺是否高超，艺术创造都能给人带来同样的健康益处，所以选项G“所以不管你的技能水平如何，你都会从创造艺术中感受到所有美好的东西。”切合文意。故选G。 4．根据前文“Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid.(从你喜欢的事情开始——也许是你以前做过的事情，也许是你小时候喜欢的事情。)”可知，此处是讲做自己喜欢的事情，所以选项B“做任何你感兴趣的事。”切合文意。故选B。 5．根据后文“Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies.(凯迈勒建议在角落的桌子上放艺术用品。)”可知，此处是指在家里腾出艺术创作的空间，所以选项C“除了时间，在家里留出一点艺术空间。”切合文意。故选C。 （二） （2023-2024高二下河南省许昌市期末试题） Make More Time for Music Are you one of those people who loves listening to music? Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. 6 It just might make you happier, healthier, and it could even make you a better student. Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. 7 And those feelings make a person happy. Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. 8 Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? 9 Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned. Students who listened to background music during a test answered more test questions. They got more of the answers correct too. 10 It’s a powerful force that can make our lives better. It can improve our mood, our health, and even our grades. In short, it’s good for you. So make time for music. You won’t regret it! A．Music is more than just a pleasant art. B．The faster the beat, the faster the bikers rode. C．If not, you should think about adding more music to your life. D．These changes create feelings of excitement, joy, and pleasure. E．In other words, music can cheer you up when you’re feeling sad. F．Then you might be interested to learn that music can help you learn. G．They compared music liked by fast bikers and music liked by slow bikers. 【答案】6．C 7．D 8．B 9．F 10．A 【导语】本文体裁为说明文。文章通过引用科学研究和实例，阐述了听音乐对人的心灵、身体以及学习能力的积极影响，旨在向读者传达增加音乐欣赏时间的建议。 6．根据上文“Are you one of those people who loves listening to music? Do you listen to it whenever you can? If so, you’re doing something good for your mind and body. (你是那种喜欢听音乐的人吗？你一有空就听吗？如果是这样，你正在做一些对你的身心有益的事情。)”可知，上文提到的音乐对心灵和身体的好处可知，此处在强调音乐的积极作用。选项C“If not, you should think about adding more music to your life. (如果没有，你应该考虑给你的生活添加更多的音乐。)”能承接上文，鼓励那些还没有意识到音乐好处的人考虑在生活中增加更多的音乐。故选C。 7．根据上文“Music can make you smile, sing along, or get up and dance. These experiences are proof of music’s power. In fact, scientists believe that music makes people happier. Valorie N. Salimpoor at McGill University has studied music and the human brain. She has proven that listening to pleasant music causes positive changes in the brain. (音乐可以让你微笑，一起唱歌，或者站起来跳舞。这些经历证明了音乐的力量。事实上，科学家认为音乐能让人更快乐。麦吉尔大学的Valorie N. Salimpoor研究了音乐和人类大脑的关系。她已经证明，听悦耳的音乐能使大脑产生积极的变化。)”可知，提到了Valorie N. Salimpoor的研究证明了听愉快的音乐能引起大脑的积极变化，接下来应该描述这些变化带来的具体感受。选项D“These changes create feelings of excitement, joy, and pleasure. (这些变化产生了兴奋、喜悦和愉悦的感觉。)”正好解释了这些大脑变化如何让人感到兴奋、喜悦和快乐，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 8．根据上文“Music isn’t just good for your mind and mood, though. It’s also good for your body. A group of scientists from Spain and Brazil have studied how music affects runners. The scientists found that people run faster and longer when they listen to music. Music can help you bike faster too. British scientists studied bikers who listened to music with a fast beat. (然而，音乐不仅对你的思想和情绪有好处。这对你的身体也有好处。来自西班牙和巴西的一组科学家研究了音乐对跑步者的影响。科学家们发现，人们在听音乐时跑得更快、更久。音乐也可以帮助你骑得更快。英国科学家研究了听快节奏音乐的骑自行车者。)”可知，前面提到了英国科学家研究了听快节奏音乐的骑车者，逻辑上接下来应说明研究的具体发现，即快节奏音乐对骑车速度的影响。选项B“The faster the beat, the faster the bikers rode. (节奏越快，骑自行车的人就骑得越快。)”直接阐述了音乐节拍速度与骑车速度之间的相关关系，能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 9．根据上文“Still not convinced that listening to music is good for you? (还不相信听音乐对你有好处？)”和下文“Scientists in Finland have shown that music helps students. Listening to music can help you when you’re learning something new. It can also help you better remember what you’ve learned. Students who listened to background music during a test answered more test questions. They got more of the answers correct too. (芬兰的科学家已经证明音乐对学生有帮助。当你学习新东西时，听音乐可以帮助你。它还可以帮助你更好地记住你学过的东西。在考试中听背景音乐的学生回答了更多的考题。他们答对的答案也更多。)”可知，这里需要一个过渡句来引出音乐对于学习能力提升的作用。选项F“Then you might be interested to learn that music can help you learn. (那么你可能有兴趣了解音乐可以帮助你学习。)”以一种假设的方式引出了音乐帮助学习的新话题，与前文形成对比并引起读者兴趣。故选F。 10．根据下文“It’s a powerful force that can make our lives better. It can improve our mood, our health, and even our grades. In short, it’s good for you. So make time for music. You won’t regret it! (它是一种强大的力量，可以让我们的生活更美好。它可以改善我们的情绪，我们的健康，甚至我们的成绩。简而言之，它对你有好处。所以要腾出时间听音乐。你不会后悔的！)”可知，本空需要概括音乐的多重正面影响。选项A“Music is more than just a pleasant art. (音乐不仅仅是一门令人愉快的艺术。)”恰当地总结了音乐不仅仅是一种令人愉悦的艺术形式，暗示了其对情绪、健康乃至学业成绩的广泛益处，因此答案是 A。 （三） （2023-2024高二下河南省华宇实验学校期末试题） A quick browse of the FitTok tag reveals our madness with maximum fitness — couples lifting one another overhead, mums sprinting from room to room with pushchairs, which can make the average gymgoer feel hopeless. 11 Try these achievable goals. Find a diet that works Trendy diets are often extreme, but that’s not going to help you sustain a healthy lifestyle. “As a general standard your diet should consist of 20-30 per cent fat, 40-50 per cent carbs and 25-30 per cent protein,” says Farren Morgan, a military fitness coach. 12 Run a 5k You don’t have to run the length of Africa.

According to scientific studies, being in nature makes people less stressed. In a recent experiment in Japan, one group of people were asked to walk through a forest while another group had to walk through a busy city. 16 . However, researchers found that after the walks, the people who had walked in the forest had better moods, less anxiety and even lower blood pressure. So the experiment showed that it was being in nature that helped people feel less stressed, not just the walk. Gregory Bratman from Stanford University in the United States found in experiments that a walk in nature could have important cognitive (认知) benefits, improving a person’s memory and creativity. 17 . Teachers find that when children are enjoying the natural world, their awareness and creativity are improved, along with their reasoning and observational skills. Why does being in nature bring so many benefits for us? 18 , so we have an instinctive (本能的) love for it. Even just looking out of the window at a beautiful tree can help us feel less stressed. Scientists also think that being in nature helps our brain recover from a lot of activities that we usually do during the day such as working on math problems or using our cell phone. 19 — putting all our attention into one thing, which can make us feel tired. But when we are outside, we use undirected attention. We see an interesting cloud or a beautiful flower, and our attention moves quickly and easily from one thing to another. So being in nature gives our brains the chance to rest. 20 . For many of us, nature is something we can enjoy just by walking out of our door. So enjoy the nature around you! A．The walks were equally long and hard B．Regular workouts are surprisingly helpful C．One idea is that human beings come from nature D．Nature’s benefits have been scientifically confirmed E．In these activities, we use a lot of directed attention F．Being in nature increases people’s mental health as well G．We can see this in schools where outdoor learning has been introduced 【答案】16．A 17．G 18．C 19．E 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了走进自然对人的好处，呼吁大家更亲近自然。 16．由上文“In a recent experiment in Japan, one group of people were asked to walk through a forest while another group had to walk through a busy city. (最近在日本进行的一项实验中，一组人被要求穿过一片森林，而另一组人则被要求穿过一座繁忙的城市。)”以及下文“However, researchers found that after the walks, the people who had walked in the forest had better moods, less anxiety and even lower blood pressure.(然而，研究人员发现，散步后，在森林里散步的人情绪更好，焦虑更少，甚至血压更低。)”介绍了走路实验的要求以及实验的发现；A选项“The walks were equally long and hard(路程长度和难度是同样的)”介绍了实验中两组走路的路程和难度是一致的，与下文构成转折关系，符合语境；选项中的“The walks”指代上文中两组人的走路实验。故选A。 17．上文“Gregory Bratman from Stanford University in the United States found in experiments that a walk in nature could have important cognitive (认知) benefits, improving a person’s memory and creativity.(美国斯坦福大学的格雷戈里·布拉特曼在实验中发现，在大自然中散步可能对认知有重要的好处，可以提高一个人的记忆力和创造力。)”指出，斯坦福大学的格雷戈里·布拉特曼在实验中发现在大自然中散步可以提高一个人的记忆力和创造力；G选项“We can see this in schools where outdoor learning has been introduced(我们可以在引入户外学习的学校看到这一点)”为上文观点提供例证，选项中的“this”指代上文中的“could have important cognitive (认知) benefits, improving a person’s memory and creativity”；下文“Teachers find that when children are enjoying the natural world, their awareness and creativity are improved, along with their reasoning and observational skills.(教师们发现，当孩子们享受自然世界时，他们的意识和创造力得到了提高，推理能力和观察能力也得到了提高。)”承接G选项，具体阐述引入户外学习有助于提高各种能力。故选G。 18．上文“Why does being in nature bring so many benefits for us?

Be as honest, clear, and objective as possible. What are your top three qualities or strengths? 21 . To make it easy, send an email to 20 of your closest friends and family members. Tell them you need their help in identifying your three top qualities or strengths. You’ll quickly start receiving responses. Start a list from the answers you receive. 22 . Take the three most common answers and use them as your guide. What do you do every day? Most people tend to spend time on the things they like to do rather than the things they don’t like. 23 . If you find yourself easily making time to read to your kids but avoid making dinner, this behavior could be telling you something. People move toward things they’re naturally good at doing. 24 ? What people think you do and what they say about you are two different things. For example, they may think you’re cleaning all day long but still think you’re a terrible housekeeper. So you need to question people about it and tell them it’s okay to tell the truth because this is about your personal development. What is one mistake you keep repeating? Albert Einstein is known to have described insanity (精神错乱) as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Are you caught in the insanity trap? For me, it was making bread. For years I tried to get my dough (面团) to rise into a nice cottony loaf. 25 . I had advice from friends, watched videos online and tried different recipes all to no avail.

Here are ideas you can use to deal with adversity and overcome it. Look to hardships you’ve overcome for motivation. You’ve overcome hardships before and you can do it again. Think about a specific struggle in the past. How did you do it? What got you through it? 26 That way, you can face any new adversity that comes your way. 27 Sure, it might seem difficult to find something funny in a difficult situation. But laughing can help you cope with stress and train your brain to be more positive. All of the benefits of having a good sense of humor can help you overcome adversity. Use adversity to learn and improve yourself. It’s often through difficult times that we learn the most. 28 If you’re dealing with a problem that’s a result of a mistake you made, think about how you can avoid making the same mistake again. Use failure as a chance to look at your planning, preparation, and execution (执行). Your friends can give you a boost when you’re struggling. 29 Be selective with the people you let go into your life and choose positive people who accept your faults and will keep pushing you.

When we arrived at the Festival we had no idea what we would be asked to do. 32 . My feet were wet within minutes of getting there! 33 , making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show. I’m pleased to say we managed to do this successfully! We also were able to hear the Chicken Shed Theatre group and An get Blue singing — both were brilliant. However, volunteering isn’t supposed to be fun, is it? It is supposed to be a selfless act which you do for others, so the fact that you don’t enjoy it doesn’t matter, right? Wrong! 34 ! It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting, but it can always be fun. And volunteering isn’t necessarily a selfless act — you can learn and develop skills, try new things, and meet lots of new and interesting people. We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be. 35 . For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required. We had a fantastic experience this Sunday afternoon. A．It was a cold, dark, rainy day B．Volunteering is supposed to be fun C．Also they can help their local community D．Our role at the event would be to turn the lights on E．Some past members of the club have benefited a lot F．Our role at the Festival was to stand behind the stage G．We not only had an important job but also helped in other ways 【答案】31．C 32．A 33．F 34．B 35．G 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为Rotaract Club的一员，在Hampstead Christmas Festival上进行志愿服务的经历。 31．根据上文“Through the Rotaract program, young adults can meet new people and learn new skills.(透过Rotaract项目，年轻人可以结识新朋友并学习新技能。)”可知，上文提到Rotaract是一个服务俱乐部，年轻人可以在这里遇到新的人并学习新技能。因此，接下来应该是讲述Rotaract的另一个功能，即帮助当地社区。C项中的“they”指代上文中的“young adults”。C项：Also they can help their local community(他们也可以帮助当地社区)符合语境。故选C。 32．根据下文“My feet were wet within minutes of getting there!(我到那不到几分钟脚就湿了！)”可知，天气不好，很快就让作者的脚湿了。因此，可以推断出前文描述的是一个寒冷、黑暗、下雨的日子。A项：It was a cold, dark, rainy day(那是一个又冷又黑的雨天)符合语境。故选A。 33．根据下文“making sure no unauthorised people got on it during the show.(确保没有未经授权的人在演出期间登上它。)”可知，空处指出了作者在电影节上的任务。F项：Our role at the Festival was to stand behind the stage(我们在电影节上的角色是站在舞台后面)符合语境。故选F。 34．下文“It might not always involve meeting celebrities or doing something new and exciting，but it can always be fun.(它可能并不总是涉及到会见名人或做一些新的和令人兴奋的事情，但它总是有趣的。)”进一步强调了志愿服务的乐趣。B项：Volunteering is supposed to be fun(志愿服务应该是有趣的)符合语境。故选B。 35．上文提到“We gave up our time to help out at the Festival, despite the bad weather, with no idea of what our role would be.(我们放弃了时间去帮助节日，尽管天气不好，也不知道我们的角色会是什么)”。但接下来却提到“For example, we got more chairs for the stage when required.(例如，当需要时，我们为舞台准备了更多的椅子。)”，即我们还做了其他的事情，比如为舞台提供更多的椅子。因此，可以推断出我们不仅在重要任务上有所贡献，还在其他方面提供了帮助。G项：We not only had an important job but also helped in other ways(我们不仅有一项重要的工作，而且在其他方面也提供了帮助)符合语境。故选G。 （八） （2023-2024高二下河南省濮阳市南乐县豫北名校期末试题） Staying motivated is key to achieving personal and professional success.

Celebrate milestones and progress along the way.(承认自己的成就，无论多么小，都是保持动力的关键。庆祝沿途的里程碑和进步)”和空后“Or you can take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come. The positive strengthening will keep your motivation levels high.(或者你可以花点时间反思一下你已经走了多远。积极的强化会让你的动力水平保持高水平)”可在，承认你的成就是保持动力的关键，你可以庆祝每一个里程碑和进步，积极的强化会让你的动力保持高水平。因此推断E项“它可以是给自己一些你喜欢的东西”举例说明可以采取的做法，符合语境，承上启下，故选E。 （九） （2023-2024高二下河南省信阳市期末试题） Getting a good night’s sleep doesn’t just feel refreshing and energizing, it’s also essential for physical and brain health. ____41____ Here are four ways to sleep again after waking up at night.

For people living with depression, however, it can be a sign of a common symptom called “anhedonia.” Anhedonia is feeling a lack of joy in once—enjoyed activities. This lack of joy can lead one to stop doing things they normally would do for fun, predicting that they won’t be able to appreciate it anyway. Yet, this reasoning is a trap. ___47___ In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a strategy known as behavior activation is often used to fight anhedonia. ___48___ Often, we find more happiness than we predicted we would, and the activity can help counter the effects of depression. ___49___ In acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavior activation focuses on what is meaningful rather than how something makes us feel. By increasing meaningful action, we often improve our moods. A study of individuals diagnosed with late—stage cancer found that a course of ACT improved both symptoms of anhedonia and depression. The core strategy in this approach is to focus away from trying to control what we/feel and zeroing in on what matters to us. Life is ever moving forward. ___50___ Interestingly, at times, when we take the camera away from controlling what we feel toward controlling what we do, we may find that how we feel changes, too, A. Yet, behavior activation does not have to be random. B. It is full of surprises and some good, some not so good. C. Withdrawal from liked activities often only furthers depression. D. If we wait until we “feel like” doing something, we risk missing out. E. It’s as if all the color has disappeared, and the world has turned grey. F. This involves scheduling activities that are meaningful and following through. G. Behavior activation provides the tools we’ll need, including worksheets and video. 【答案】46. E 47. C 48. F 49. A 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本篇为说明文，主要介绍一种医学上称为快感缺乏症“anhedonia”疾病及如何使用行为激活疗法改善它的症状。 46.根据上文“Have you ever had a day when nothing sounded fun?

(就好像所有的颜色都消失了，世界变成了灰色。)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 47.根据上文“Yet, this reasoning is a trap. (然而，这种推理是一个陷阱。)”可知，此处指出避免曾经喜欢活动是错误的，与C项“Withdrawal from liked activities often only furthers depression. (避免曾经喜欢的活动通常只会加重抑郁。)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 48.根据上文“In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a strategy known as behavior activation is often used to fight anhedonia. (在认知行为疗法中，一种被称为行为激活的策略常用来对抗快感缺失。)”可知，此处介绍行为激活策略的具体做法，与F项“This involves scheduling activities that are meaningful and following through. (这包括安排有意义的活动并坚持到底。)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 49.根据下文“In acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), behavior activation focuses on what is meaningful rather than how something makes us feel.

Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____51____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again. Little steps for big tasks. Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____52____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit. ____53____ Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. Tune out negative thoughts. When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____54____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns. Give yourself credit. ____55____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task. However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals. A. Never give up. B. Expect difficulties. C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going. D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside, E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future. G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it. 【答案】51. G 52. C 53. B 54. E 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍如何停止拖延症并开始采取行动。 51.首段为总起段，功能为引入话题。由空前一句话“Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out.(拖延与动机有关，也与恐惧有关。也许你们避免了付账单，也避免了提出建议或约人出去。)”可知，这里列举了有拖延症的人可能会出现的行为，而G项Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.(不管是什么事情，拖延往往会比实际做更大的问题。)符合语境，其 putting it off 与上文Procrastinating对应，且引出下文的解决方案，有承上启下作用。故选G项。 52.根据本段的小标题“Little steps for big tasks (大事化小)”可知，本段的内容围绕把一个整体任务拆分为若干步骤来完成展开，由空前“Most procrastinators tell themselves, ‘I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.’ Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks.(大多数拖延者告诉自己，“我会等到我有心情的时候。”让我们面对现实吧；你永远不会想平衡你的支票簿或收拾你桌子上的烂摊子。这些都是枯燥乏味的任务。)”可知，这里通过举例子的方式来告诉读者，“等有心情的时候再做”是不会实现的，因为这些都是很无聊的、不令人愉悦的任务，而C项Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.(有时你只需要让自己做起来。)符合语境，有承上作用，且其中get yourself going与后文this对应，也有启下作用。故选C项。 53.空格处为段落小标题。根据段落内容“Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. (那些拖延的人往往认为成功的人在没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的情况下实现了他们的目标。这是不现实的。高效的人知道生活是令人沮丧的。他们认为自己会遇到障碍；当他们做到这一点时，他们会坚持不懈，直到克服它们。)”可知，本段主要讲有拖延症的人通常认为那些成功的人在达到目标的过程中是没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的。而文章进一步告诉读者这是不现实的。所以B项Expect difficulties.(期待困难)符合语境，对本段有总括作用。故选B项。 54.根据本段的小标题“Tune out negative thoughts (排除消极的想法)”可知，本段的内容围绕避免负面思想对完成任务的干扰展开，第一句话“When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. (当你逃避一项任务时，可能是因为你在给自己灌输不切实际的负面信息。)”可知，这里分析了不切实际的负面信息可能是你拖延的原因，因此推知本空应该解决这一问题的办法，而E项By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. (把它们写下来，你就有机会摆脱它们。)符合语境，为处理负面思想的办法。故选E项。 55.根据本段的小标题“Give yourself credit (表扬自己)”可知，本段的内容围绕进行自我肯定展开。本空为段首句，空后有转折连词“but”，故需要根据后面的内容进行反推。由空后句子“But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task(但是，如果你从不让自己对自己的努力感到满意，你很快就会发现尝试毫无意义。所以，无论成就有多小，都要相信自己。然后你就可以完成最艰巨的任务)”可知，来自内在的肯定是对自己最大的奖励，所以D项We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside (我们通常认为奖励来自外部)符合语境，与后文构成转折关系。故选D项。 （十二） （2023-2024高二下河南省南阳市期末试题） Turning the Page Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls, but what matters is how you tackle each situation.

May it be your love life or a serious life struggle, we must learn to move on. (生活充满了无数的胜利和失败，但重要的是你如何处理每一种情况。也许这是你的爱情生活或一个严肃的生活斗争，我们必须学会继续前进。)”可知，此处强调无论生活怎样，我们都要学会继续前进，因此设空处应该引出后文，针对开启生活新篇章提出的具体建议或措施。D选项“Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life.(以下是你如何在生活中开创新篇章的方法。)”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 57.根据后文“This line will help you mark your future decisions.(这条线将帮助你标记你未来的决定。)”此处指出这条线将会标记你未来的决定，设空处应该对“this line”进行阐述。E选项“What you can do in this kind of situation is draw a mental line.(在这种情况下，你能做的就是在心里划清界限。)”指出，面对各种问题，自己应该在心里划清界限，此处与后文呼应，符合语境。故选E。 58.设空处为段旨，也为本段的小标题。根据后文“In order to get out of this situation, you must be willing to bring others into the struggle. When we talk about others, I refer to the people that you are close with. These could be your family and close friends.(为了摆脱这种局面，你必须愿意把别人拉进斗争中。当我们谈论别人时，我指的是你亲近的人。这些人可能是你的家人和亲密的朋友。)”可知，此处强调遇到问题可以向寻求他人的帮助。A选项“Seek help from others.( 向别人寻求帮助。)”概括本段段旨，符合语境。故选A。 59.根据前文“Sometimes we might feel that we have tried out so much and still nothing is working out for us. I know that situation as I have been there. (有时我们可能会觉得我们已经尝试了这么多，但仍然没有什么对我们起作用。我了解那种情况，因为我也经历过。)”可知，有时候我们已经尽全力尝试了很多，但依旧没有对我们起作用。G选项“I would say this one thing to you, giving up is easy, but continuing with the pain is hard but worth it.(我会对你说这样一句话：放弃很容易，但坚持下去，尽管伴随着痛苦，是艰难却值得的。)”指出，在前文所提及的“尽全力尝试但依旧没有起作用”情况下，放弃是很容易，但坚持下去，尽管伴随着痛苦，是艰难却值得的，鼓励读者即使面对困难也不要放弃，因为坚持虽然艰难但值得，符合语境。故选G。 60.根据前文“In order to move on from every struggle and heartbreak, you must let go of the past, guilt, and hatred. (为了从每一次挣扎和心碎中走出来，你必须放下过去、内疚和仇恨。)”此处指出必须要放下过去、内疚和仇恨，后文对此做法的原因进行解释。F选项“No matter what, negative feelings are always going to be helpless.(不管怎样，消极的情绪总是会让人感到无助。)”指出过去、内疚和仇恨这些消极的情绪让人感到无助，因此必须要放下。故选F。 （十三） （2023-2024高二下河南省新乡市期末试题） We’ve all been there — dinner is over, but your stomach (or is it your mind?) is calling you back to the kitchen. Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). ____61____. But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings. Identifying triggers (诱因) After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. ____62____. Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively. ____63____ The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must. Boosting protein and veggies Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. ____64___. Engaging in after-dinner movement ____65____. It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings. A. Reshaping your habits B. Eating properly-portioned meals C They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals D. They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay E.

With such universal popularity, many people are confused as to why these large and famous companies do so much advertising and have such large advertising budgets. 67 Most business owners who are just starting to understand how vital advertising is to their growth. Putting in the time and money to market your company can help it grow over time. 68 Continuing to advertise after achieving success helps businesses maintain a positive image with the public. It can also help attract new customers as demographics (客户群体) change as time passes. Furthermore, advertising helps to inform your customers of updates to old products and introduce new ones. However, the ultimate goal of advertising for both big and small companies is to earn more income and maximize profits. 69 Is it better to stick to traditional forms of media, like newspapers and television, or embrace (接纳) new forms of online advertising on social media sites? While many new smaller companies tend to focus their limited budgets on social media and internet marketing, it is usually better for larger, well-established companies to do both. For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. 70 Also, older, wealthier people are more likely to notice television advertising than online advertising. While the focus of advertising might change over time, companies must certainly continue to use it to grow. A．Is advertising necessary? B．After all, shouldn’t their global success speak for itself?

For example, over 95% of homes receive television signals, while only around 75% of the population has access to the internet. (是坚持传统的媒体形式，如报纸和电视，还是在社交媒体网站上接受新的在线广告形式?虽然许多新成立的小公司倾向于将有限的预算集中在社交媒体和网络营销上，但对于大型、成熟的公司来说，两者兼而有之通常更好。例如，超过95%的家庭接收到电视信号，而只有大约75%的人口可以上网。)”可知，本段主要讲述了，如何做广告，所以E项“Another major question companies must find the answer to is how to advertise.

When conflict is mismanaged, it can cause great harm to a relationship, but , when handled in a respectful, positive way, 72 Whether you’re experiencing conflict, at home, work, or school, learning skills can help you resolve differences in a healthy way and build stronger, more rewarding relationships. 73 It occurs whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can range from the need to feel safe and secure or respected and valued, to the need for greater closeness and intimacy. Think about the opposing needs of a toddler and a parent. The child’s need is to explore, so venturing to the street or the cliff edge meets that need. But the parent’s need is to protect the child’s safety, a heed that can only be met by limiting the toddler’s exploration. 74 The ability to successfully resolve conflict depends on your ability to: 75 By staying calm, you can accurately read and interpret verbal and nonverbal communication.

Sometimes these differences appear trivial, but when a conflict triggers strong feelings, a deep personal need is often at the core of the problem. These needs can range from the need to feel safe and secure or respected and valued, to the need for greater closeness and intimacy.(当人们在价值观、动机、观念、想法或欲望上存在分歧时，就会发生这种情况。有时这些差异看起来微不足道，但当冲突引发强烈的情感时，深层的个人需求往往是问题的核心。这些需求的范围从需要感到安全、有保障或受到尊重和重视，到需要更亲密的关系)”可知，本段的主旨主要是说明冲突产生的原因，故B选项“冲突产生于大大小小的分歧”符合语境，故选B。 74．根据上文“Think about the opposing needs of a toddler and a parent.

Control your emotions and behavior. When you’re in control of your emotions, you can communicate your needs without threatening, intimidating, or punishing others.(通过保持冷静，你可以准确地阅读和解释口头和非口头交流。控制你的情绪和行为。当你能控制自己的情绪时，你可以在不威胁、恐吓或惩罚他人的情况下表达你的需求)”可知，本段的主旨是通过保持冷静来处理冲突，C选项中calm对应后文staying calm。故C选项“快速处理压力，同时保持警觉和冷静”符合语境，故选C。 （十六） （2023-2024高二下河南省郑州市期末试题） Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week. 76 . Life satisfaction in the United States has remained at the same level for half a century, even though its GDP is much higher than ever before. Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level. 77 . Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation. 78 . I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick. The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being. 79 , while materialism only offers short bursts of pleasure, which wear off fairly quickly. 80 . Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not. A．In a word, money doesn’t mean everything B．They offer a stable and true sense of well-being C．Very few people are lucky enough to get wealthy D．But beyond a certain point, it makes little or no difference E．But research has shown little connection between wealth and well-being F．So, not taking material wealth too seriously is a good start for well-being G．Moreover, we have to end our passion for possessions for the environment 【答案】76．E 77．F 78．D 79．B 80．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了财富和幸福之间的关系。 76．根据上文“Many people share the assumption that material wealth and possessions bring happiness. This is why so many lottery tickets (彩票) are sold each week.(许多人都认为物质财富和财产能带来幸福。这就是为什么每周都有这么多彩票售出的原因)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故就上文“物质财富和财产能带来幸福”的观点进行说明，E选项中wealth and well-being对应上文material wealth and possessions。故E选项“但是研究表明财富和幸福之间几乎没有联系”符合语境，故选E。 77．根据上文“Many countries with the highest levels of well-being (幸福), such as several Latin American countries, have a comparatively low level of material wealth. People with a strong desire for wealth tend to have lower levels of well-being. In contrast, people who live a life of voluntary simplicity with few possessions have a higher level.(许多幸福水平最高的国家，如几个拉丁美洲国家，物质财富水平相对较低。对财富有强烈欲望的人往往幸福感较低。相比之下，那些自愿过着简朴生活、几乎没有财产的人，他们的生活水平更高)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，与上文构成因果关系，指出物质财富对于幸福并不十分重要。故F选项“所以，不要把物质财富看得太严重，这是幸福的良好开端”符合语境，故选F。 78．根据上文“Certainly, money can lead to greater well-being if your basic needs aren’t satisfied or you’re worrying about your financial situation.(当然，如果你的基本需求没有得到满足，或者你担心自己的财务状况，金钱可以带来更大的幸福感)”以及后文“I sometimes compare the materialist pursuit of happiness to eating when you’re already full. You can eat as much as you like, but it doesn’t satisfy you-in fact, it just makes you feel uncomfortable and sick.(我有时把追求幸福的物质主义者比作吃饱了再吃。你可以想吃多少就吃多少，但这并不能满足你——事实上，它只会让你感到不舒服和恶心)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出物质财富超出一定程度就无法满足对幸福的追求。故D选项“但是超过某一点，它就没有什么区别了”符合语境，故选D。 79．根据上文“The idea that wealth brings well-being also stops us from focusing on the real sources of happiness, like contact with nature, relationships, and inner harmony. These are much more reliable and productive sources of well-being.(财富带来幸福的想法也阻止了我们关注幸福的真正来源，比如与自然的接触、人际关系和内心的和谐。这些都是更可靠、更有成效的幸福来源)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明提供幸福感的东西的作用。故B选项“它们提供了一种稳定而真正的幸福感”符合语境，故选B。 80．根据后文“Possessions are produced using natural resources and create waste and pollution. The desire to own and build up possessions is destroying our ecology. Sooner or later, we will have to shift to a simpler lifestyle, whether we like it or not.(财产是利用自然资源生产的，并造成浪费和污染。拥有和积累财产的欲望正在破坏我们的生态。不管我们喜欢与否，我们迟早都要转向一种更简单的生活方式)”可知，后文提到拥有和积累财产的欲望正在破坏我们的生态，说明不建议过分追求财产。故G选项“此外，为了保护环境，我们必须停止对财产的狂热”符合语境，故选G。 （十七） （2023-2024高二下河南省三门峡市期末试题） Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school. 81 One of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Danish scientist Morten Meldal, who is 68 years old and works at the University of Copenhagen. When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.” 82 They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful. But a study from professors at Michigan State University shows that is not always the case. The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students. 83 some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests. They are, in a way, learning how to be creative. Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests, 84 The researchers say that, even among people who do not win big prizes, those with many interests are often successful. They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college. 85 Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area. A．That study plan is called a “double major”. B．What we believe is of great benefits to them. C．Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students. D．They discovered that if they helped each other afterwards, E．Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity. F．They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes, G．But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important. 【答案】81．G 82．C 83．F 84．E 85．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项针对诺贝尔奖获得者的研究发现，这些获奖者通常有多个领域的知识，广博的知识使他们在工作中能用不同的角度和方法思考问题。 81．根据上文“Experts often tell students to center their efforts on a narrow field to get a job after school.(专家们经常告诉学生们，毕业后要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作)”及下文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，专家们经常告诉学生们要把精力集中在一个狭窄的领域找工作，但是一些诺贝尔获奖者却做过不同的工作。由此可知，G. But recent research into Nobel Prize winners suggests that wider interests are important.(但最近对诺贝尔奖得主的研究表明，更广泛的兴趣很重要)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 82．根据上文“When describing his career, Meldal said he started out as an engineer but changed to chemistry because he “wanted to understand the world.”(在描述自己的职业生涯时，梅尔达尔说，他最初是一名工程师，但后来改行做化学，因为他“想了解这个世界”)”可知，上文讲述了梅尔达尔的经历。下文“They might believe they have to center their work and school lives in one field to be successful.(他们可能认为他们必须把他们的工作和学校生活集中在一个领域才能成功)”说明梅尔达尔的经历和他们认为的成功经验是不一样的。由此可知，C. Meldal’s experience may come as a surprise to students.(梅尔达尔的经历可能会让学生们感到惊讶)能够承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 83．根据上文“The researchers looked into past Nobel Prize winners and their students.(研究人员调查了过去的诺贝尔奖得主和他们的学生)”及下文“some of what they learned from their teachers is how to live a life with many interests.(他们从老师那里学到的一些东西是如何过一种有多种兴趣的生活)”可知，此处在讲述过去的诺贝尔奖得主对他们的学生的影响。由此可知，F. They found that when the students of winners went on to win Nobel Prizes,(他们发现，当获奖者的学生后来获得诺贝尔奖时)能够承上启下，符合语境。其中students是关键词。故选F。 84．根据上文“Nobel winners are nine times more likely to have experience in working with wood, metal or in the arts than most scientists. The researchers also found that the Nobel winners have an open mind about their life experiences. Unlike many people who spend long hours at work and give up their outside interests,(诺贝尔奖得主在与木材、金属或艺术打交道方面的经验是大多数科学家的九倍。研究人员还发现，诺贝尔奖获得者对自己的生活经历持开放态度。不像许多人花很长时间在工作上，放弃他们的业余爱好)”可知，诺贝尔奖获得者兴趣广泛，而且不会放弃他们的业余爱好。由此可知，E. Nobel winners believe their hobbies are important to creativity.(诺贝尔奖得主认为他们的爱好对创造力很重要)能够衔接上文，符合语境。其中hobbies对应上文中的outside interests。故选E。 85．根据上文“They pointed to a 2022 report about students who study two major fields in college.(他们指出，2022年的一份报告是关于在大学里学习两个专业的学生的)”及下文“Double majors are often more creative and more interested in starting their own businesses than those who centered on only one study area.(双学位的学生往往比那些只专注于一个研究领域的学生更有创造力，对创业更感兴趣)”可知，此处在讲述双学位的问题。由此可知，A.
