Later, an emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty ordered his servants to light lanterns in the palace on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which later became the Lantern Festival. 37 They did that to celebrate their peaceful life, which made lanterns more and more popular throughout China. Functions of Chinese Lanterns In ancient China, lanterns were used to brighten streets and homes with their warm light. 38 People decorate homes and public places with them. Lanterns also play an important role in Chinese celebrations and they have become a symbol of national pride in China. 39 Chinese lanterns are known for their beautiful colors and different shapes.

Dragon Boat Racing There is a dragon boat race held along the Lancang River in the afternoon on the first day. 37 Local people believe that lighting lanterns on the Lancang River can make people get rid of bad luck and bring people good luck and fortune.

The first step to appreciating art is to think about how it makes you feel. Do you feel calm or happy when you look at it? Or does it make you feel excited or sad? 37 Everyone has different feelings about art, and that’s okay. Over time, you’ll find the kinds of art that you like the most. Artworks often contain more than what meets the eye. 38 For example, a heart might mean love, or a flag might mean freedom. However, symbols can also be deeply personal to the artist. This means they can show what the artist believes, has experienced, or hopes for. When you see symbols in art, think about what they might mean. Can they help you understand the artist’s life or ideas? 39 Artists often use them to express emotions or ideas. For example, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night uses massive circles of white and yellow to create a sense of wonder and turbulence (动荡). By knowing how colors work in art, you can understand the artist’s idea better. Appreciating art is a journey that never ends. Remember that it’s not about knowing everything, but about being open to new experiences and ideas. 40 A．Just keep looking at art and let it inspire you! B．Symbols and colors are key components in artworks. C．Symbols have various meanings in different cultures. D．Colors can turn a simple drawing into a fantastic artwork. E．Remember that there are no “right” or “wrong” emotions. F．They can use symbols to tell a story or give more information. G．Anyone willing to open their mind and heart can understand what it offers. 4.（23-24高一下·广东省广州市番禺区·期末） Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry. 36 Now let’s explore the reasons behind these distractions. Our brains are naturally easy to be distracted. They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment. 37 They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus (刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task. 38 It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions. We have a short attention span (持续时间). 39 It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank (油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes. In our daily life, distractions come in many forms and the sources of distractions can vary widely. The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information. 20 A．We live in a world full of distractions. B．We have poor time management skills. C．But this strength can also be a weakness. D．This isn’t necessarily because of a lack of interest. E．Regaining your focus might be harder than you think. F．You’re just part of a much larger group than you imagine. G．Instead, learn to acknowledge and manage them effectively. 5.（23-24高一下·广东省大湾区·期末） Life is all about struggles. 36 . Today, we will discuss some of the important life lessons that we can learn from the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. After all, it was meant to inspire us. Never give up on yourself The one main thing all of us must do is to bear and survive. This means never giving up on yourself. 37 . As the movie circles around Chris Gardner, he is affected by a lot of challenges, but he never gives up on himself. With each new challenge, he finds a deep advantage and it allows him to become better than before. Never let anyone limit your potential（潜能） In life, you will come across a lot of people. 38 . You can find these types of people almost anywhere. Some of them will come up with hurtful things, which are what you will have to ignore. Even though they can't or haven't been able to achieve their life goals, it doesn't mean that you can't. 39 Life will try to hold you back by throwing challenges in your path but it also presents amazing opportunities. In the movie, Chris lands his dream job at the stock market(股票市场) company but he didn't get there in one day; he had to go through many challenges. He used to sell medical products first, and when that was no longer workable, he looked for more opportunities. If you want to achieve something in life, then look for opportunities to make it happen! 25 A．Be ready to put the work in B．Always be prepared for opportunities C．Always be on the hunt for opportunities D．Some will support you while some will limit your potential E．However, some people still admit defeat and give up on themselves F．But at the end of your struggles, you are likely to achieve happiness G．After all, life offers both challenges and opportunities on the path to success 6.（23-24高一下·广东省广州市八区期末联考·期末） Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. It’s a long, dangerous journey. And astronauts will have to take EVERYTHING they need. 26 Launching things into space is expensive. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn. “The problem is, it’s costly.” 36 Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff, why not build Water Walls — a recycling system and use the stuff as part of the spaceship? Making oxygen and taking away carbon dioxide — the waste gas you breathe out — is one problem in space. Water Walls will remove carbon dioxide the same way it’s done here on Earth — with living plants. Living plants take in carbon dioxide to make their food, and give off oxygen. But plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft. 28 Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop and sunlight, eating up carbon dioxide and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe. 37 It’s compact (紧密的), efficient, and doesn’t need a lot of fancy machinery that might break down. A mission to Mars will require astronauts to get back to nature. Alas, the human body needs a lot of help to survive in space. If only we were more like the tardigrade! Tardigrades are very tiny insect-like creatures that live in soil. When they find themselves in danger, they roll themselves up into a ball and dry out. In this state they can survive without food or water for 100 years. 30 A．Algae can be a good choice. B．Nothing is wasted in the spacecraft. C．But Flynn thinks he has a solution. D．So a trip to Mars is full of packing challenge. E．If only we could train them to fly a spaceship. F．This onboard recycling system has many advantages. G．The more you take, the more rockets you must launch, and the more it costs. 话题二：人与自我 1.（23-24高一下·广东省梅州市·期末） Thousands of us have been rediscovering the joys of putting pen to paper to send messages of love and encouragement to family and friends recently. Writing is having a comeback, which is great news for all of us. 36 Power off the laptop and phone and pick up a pen and paper. It helps you learn more readily. Using a laptop during lectures may be the modern way, but taking notes by hand appears to be more helpful to learning. 37 This, in turn, means you understand it better and commit it to memory. It enables you to remember well. 38 Researchers from Chicago found that people who continued reading and writing frequently slowed their memory decline by 32 per cent compared with those who didn't. The rate of memory decline in people who wrote or read only infrequently was 48 per cent faster. It allows you to sleep well. If you've ever woken up in the midnight and suddenly remembered certain things you haven't done, it'll be difficult for you to get back to sleep. They'll probably keep you awake because your brain is concerned you might have forgotten them again by morning. 39 That way you're giving your brain permission to forget about them for the night and you can nod off. 40 If you're interested in taking your writing to another level, then add modern calligraphy to your hobby list. Calligraphy forces you to slow down and achieve what psychologists call flow, which is a positive emotional state and enjoyment with no stress attached. A．It causes you to focus more. B．It helps you stay mentally healthy. C．Not sleeping well is harmful to you. D．Write down these reminders on paper. E．The pen is more powerful than the keyboard. F．Sharpen your pencil to improve your memory. G．It forces you to process information and reorganize it. 2.（23-24高一下·广东省清远市·期末） Asha Bradford doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with lots of hobbies, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes frustrated. Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. 36 That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome a tendency to misplace things: Take pictures. 37 Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects, and when you can’t find them, pull up the photo. 38 Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote. It will make it easier to find when it appears. Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or designating one drawer as the scissors drawer. 39 Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots. Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things and you start to think that there’s something wrong with you. Then, you get anxious about that and even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings. 40 A．Invest in technology. B．Make your belongings stand out. C．So remember to treat yourself well. D．Did you ever have trouble starting your car? E．Losing things results from absentmindedness. F．In this way, you make a “home” for everything. G．Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car? 3.（23-24高一下·广东省广州市·期末） Food is not just something that supports life, but tells us stories about who we are, what we value, and how we establish relationships. 36 . Food and cultural identity are closely tied. The preparation and presentation of the traditional Japanese dishes like sushi are considered an art form. 37 Similarly, the use of spices in Indian cuisine reflects the country’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse regional flavors. Through food, individuals not only nourish their bodies but also nurture a deep connection to their cultural roots, cultivating a sense of identity and belonging. 38 A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, while a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. But it’s not just the vocabulary that matters. 39   When people are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇)”. The French prize the dining experience whereas Americans lay an emphasis on what is entering the bloodstream. Food consumed by one person alone is not a social food. However, when consumed by a group of people together or eaten in a religious ceremony, it brings people together socially. In human society, food is a means for people to establish relationships between one another. 40 For instance, in the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings to express the relationship between themselves and God. In an increasingly interconnected world shaped by globalization, food not only helps preserve our culture but bridges cultural gaps, promoting understanding and appreciation across borders. A．It offers us different perspectives to know about our culture. B．Tradition is a word frequently referred to in their dictionary. C．This bond can exist among individuals and religious groups. D．A culture’s food vocabulary is also a window into its values. E．They mirror people’s culturally rooted respect for artistic value. F．It enables people to makes friends with each other while dining. G．It is also the attitudes that are transmitted through language about food. 4.（23-24高一下·广东省江门市·期末） Why Smiling Is Good for Your Health Research suggests you really should smile more! It could enhance both your mental and physical health. 46 Smiling improves immunity and may lower blood pressure. A smile releases certain hormones in the brain, which is connected with an improvement in immune function. Moreover, the fact that smiling reduces your heart rate when you’re stressed is also likely to have an effect on blood pressure. Other research has shown blood pressure doesn't rise when people are exposed to humour. 36 A University of Kansas study found that participants who were asked to smile during stressful tasks had lower heart rates during stress recovery. So it seems even forcing yourself to look happy helps manage difficult situations. Looking happy encourages positivity. It seems smiling really can inspire your spirits, rather than simply being a response to feeling happy. A 2022 study of 3,878 participants in 19 countries was conducted. 48 Smile and live longer. Now, there is good news that being optimistic has a beneficial effect on longevity (长寿). 37 For example, a 2010 study from Washington State University found that pre-1950s major league baseball players who had the brightest smile in their photos lived longer. Of course, smiling also makes you popular with others and helps you connect with them. The good news is if you practise enough, it’ll become your habit. 38 For instance, see someone laughing, make a cup of tea or just put a note on your phone. Think of something pleasurable, such as a favourite person or memory, when you smile. A．The research backs it up. B．Smiling is a stress reliever. C．Smiling can reduce your pain. D．Being amused is a good way to help you relax yourself. E．Give yourself signs to remind you to put a smile on your face. F．Here are the reasons why smiling is beneficial to our well-being.

Ease in to figure out if it’s right for you, and you can always do more later. Try out a free online course or join a beginner’s group, for example, to get a feel of the hobby before committing heavily.

An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person’s face even if only for a moment. Give away your money. Choose charity that has meaning for you. For example, if you want to help hungry children, you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. 37 Share your knowledge. If a friend needs skills in a certain area, offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer, and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have, but always remember to be polite. Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. 38 Give your seat on the bus to an old man. The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness. 39 Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Tell them they mean a lot to you. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favourite fun place if he has had a hard week. Tell your children how much they mean to you. Be grateful to others. 40 Thank the waiter.

The first step to appreciating art is to think about how it makes you feel. Do you feel calm or happy when you look at it? Or does it make you feel excited or sad? 37 Everyone has different feelings about art, and that’s okay. Over time, you’ll find the kinds of art that you like the most. Artworks often contain more than what meets the eye. 38 For example, a heart might mean love, or a flag might mean freedom. However, symbols can also be deeply personal to the artist. This means they can show what the artist believes, has experienced, or hopes for. When you see symbols in art, think about what they might mean. Can they help you understand the artist’s life or ideas? 39 Artists often use them to express emotions or ideas. For example, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night uses massive circles of white and yellow to create a sense of wonder and turbulence (动荡). By knowing how colors work in art, you can understand the artist’s idea better. Appreciating art is a journey that never ends. Remember that it’s not about knowing everything, but about being open to new experiences and ideas. 40 A．Just keep looking at art and let it inspire you! B．Symbols and colors are key components in artworks. C．Symbols have various meanings in different cultures. D．Colors can turn a simple drawing into a fantastic artwork. E．Remember that there are no “right” or “wrong” emotions. F．They can use symbols to tell a story or give more information. G．Anyone willing to open their mind and heart can understand what it offers. 【答案】36.G 37.E 38.F 39.D 40.A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者认为艺术鉴赏并没有专业限制，任何愿意敞开心扉的人都能理解艺术，在这篇文章中，作者讨论了艺术是如何给我们带来感觉的，它意味着什么，以及颜色是如何在艺术中使用的。 36.根据前文“Art appreciation isn’t just for art experts, and it certainly doesn’t require a fine arts degree. (艺术鉴赏不仅仅是艺术专家的事，当然也不需要美术学位。)”和后文“In this post, we’ll talk about how art makes us feel, what it can mean, and how colors are used in art. (在这篇文章中，我们将讨论艺术是如何给我们带来感觉的，它意味着什么，以及颜色是如何在艺术中使用的。)”可知，此处是讲艺术鉴赏是指艺术品带给我们的感受，所以选项G“任何愿意敞开心扉的人都能理解它提供了什么。”切合文意。故选G。 37.根据后文“Everyone has different feelings about art, and that’s okay. (每个人对艺术都有不同的感受，这没关系。)”可知，此处是指对艺术的感受没有对错，所以选项E“记住，没有“对”或“错”的情绪。”切合文意。故选E。 38.根据前文“Artworks often contain more than what meets the eye. (艺术品通常包含的东西比我们看到的要多。)”和后文“For example, a heart might mean love, or a flag might mean freedom. However, symbols can also be deeply personal to the artist. (例如，一颗心可能意味着爱，或者一面旗帜可能意味着自由。然而，符号对艺术家来说也可以是非常个人化的。)”可知，此处是指艺术品中的符号可以传达很多信息，所以选项F“它们可以用符号来讲述一个故事或提供更多的信息。”切合文意。故选F。 39.根据后文“Artists often use them to express emotions or ideas. For example, Van Gogh’s The Starry Night uses massive circles of white and yellow to create a sense of wonder and turbulence (动荡). By knowing how colors work in art, you can understand the artist’s idea better. (艺术家经常用它们来表达情感或想法。例如，梵高的《星夜》使用大量的白色和黄色圆圈来创造一种惊奇和动荡的感觉。通过了解颜色在艺术中的作用，你可以更好地理解艺术家的想法。)”可知，此处是讲颜色在艺术作品中的重要作用，所以选项D“颜色可以把一幅简单的图画变成一件奇妙的艺术品。”切合文意。故选D。 40.根据前文“Appreciating art is a journey that never ends. Remember that it’s not about knowing everything, but about being open to new experiences and ideas. (欣赏艺术是一个永无止境的旅程。记住，这并不是说你什么都知道，而是要对新的体验和想法持开放的态度。)”可知，此处是讲鼓励人们加入欣赏艺术的旅程并一直探索，所以选项A“继续欣赏艺术，让它激励你吧！”切合文意。故选A。 4.（23-24高一下·广东省广州市番禺区·期末） Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry. 36 Now let’s explore the reasons behind these distractions. Our brains are naturally easy to be distracted. They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment. 37 They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus (刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task. 38 It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions. We have a short attention span (持续时间). 39 It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank (油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes. In our daily life, distractions come in many forms and the sources of distractions can vary widely. The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information. 20 A．We live in a world full of distractions. B．We have poor time management skills. C．But this strength can also be a weakness. D．This isn’t necessarily because of a lack of interest. E．Regaining your focus might be harder than you think. F．You’re just part of a much larger group than you imagine. G．Instead, learn to acknowledge and manage them effectively. 【答案】36.F 37.C 38.A 39.D 40.G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了注意力不集中的理由并给出了措施。 36.前文“Have you ever started a new task at work, only to be distracted (干扰) by a ding on your phone? Or perhaps you’re in the middle of a report, and your mind starts to wander to what you’ll have for dinner. If you find yourself familiar with any of these scenes, don’t worry.(你是否曾经在工作中开始了一项新任务，却被手机铃声分散了注意力?或者你正在写一份报告，你的思绪开始游荡到晚餐吃什么。如果你发现自己熟悉这些场景中的任何一个，不要担心。)”说明如果做事情的时候分心了，不要担心，因此推断空处应是说明理由，后文“你只是一个比你想象的大得多的群体中的一员。”符合语境，与前文是因果关系。故选F。 37.前文“They are wonderfully complex machines designed to absorb new information and adapt to our environment.(它们是非常复杂的机器，旨在吸收新信息并适应我们的环境。)”说明大脑是用来吸收新信息的机器，后文“They always quickly change our attention to the new stimulus(刺激), causing us to lose focus on our current task.(它们总是迅速将我们的注意力转移到新的刺激上，导致我们失去对当前任务的关注。)”说明大脑的弱点，容易分散注意力，前后文是转折关系，因此推断C项“但这种优势也可能是劣势。”符合语境，承上启下，前文是大脑的优势，下文是劣势。故选C。 38.空处为段落标题，根据后文“It’s fortunate for us to have access to technology and the Internet, which provide a wealth of resources for learning, connecting, and entertaining ourselves. But this blessing is double-edged. The tools that help improve productivity can also lead to distractions.(我们很幸运能够接触到科技和互联网，它们为我们学习、交流和娱乐提供了丰富的资源。但这是一把双刃剑。有助于提高工作效率的工具也可能导致分心。)”说明科技和互联网是一把双刃剑，尽管有助于提高工作效率，但是也导致分心，因此推断A项“我们生活在一个充满分心的世界。”为最佳标题。故选A。 39.根据标题“We have a short attention span(持续时间).(我们的注意力持续时间很短。)”可知，本段讲述我们的注意力持续时间比较短，因此推断D项“这并不一定是因为缺乏兴趣。”符合语境，说明我们的注意力持续时间短的理由，下文讲述了真正可能的理由“It’s said that our attention span has a cap, much like the limit on a fuel tank(油箱). And once we hit that upper limit, our focus begins searching for other limits, like a traveler eager for new landscapes.(据说我们的注意力持续时间是有上限的，就像油箱的极限一样。一旦我们达到了这个上限，我们的注意力就会开始寻找其他的极限，就像一个渴望新风景的旅行者一样。)”。故选D。 40.前文“The path to a more focused and productive life isn’t necessarily about removing all distractions. It’s an impossible task in this age of information.(通往更专注、更有成效的生活的道路并不一定要消除所有的干扰。在这个信息时代，这是一项不可能完成的任务。)”说明消除所有的干扰是不可能的，因此推断下文给出解决办法，因此推断G项“相反，学会承认并有效地管理它们。”符合语境，与前文是转折关系。故选G。 5.（23-24高一下·广东省大湾区·期末） Life is all about struggles. 36 .

It’s a long, dangerous journey. And astronauts will have to take EVERYTHING they need. 26 Launching things into space is expensive. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn. “The problem is, it’s costly.” 36 Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff, why not build Water Walls — a recycling system and use the stuff as part of the spaceship? Making oxygen and taking away carbon dioxide — the waste gas you breathe out — is one problem in space. Water Walls will remove carbon dioxide the same way it’s done here on Earth — with living plants. Living plants take in carbon dioxide to make their food, and give off oxygen. But plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft. 28 Algae are tiny plants that live in water. The algae will live in bags in the walls too, fed by poop and sunlight, eating up carbon dioxide and making oxygen for the astronauts to breathe. 37 It’s compact (紧密的), efficient, and doesn’t need a lot of fancy machinery that might break down. A mission to Mars will require astronauts to get back to nature. Alas, the human body needs a lot of help to survive in space. If only we were more like the tardigrade! Tardigrades are very tiny insect-like creatures that live in soil. When they find themselves in danger, they roll themselves up into a ball and dry out. In this state they can survive without food or water for 100 years. 30 A．Algae can be a good choice. B．Nothing is wasted in the spacecraft. C．But Flynn thinks he has a solution. D．So a trip to Mars is full of packing challenge. E．If only we could train them to fly a spaceship. F．This onboard recycling system has many advantages. G．The more you take, the more rockets you must launch, and the more it costs. 【答案】36.D 37.C 38.A 39.F 40.E 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了关于火星之旅的挑战、成本问题以及一种可能的解决方案——使用Water Walls回收系统，并提到了藻类作为可能的选择，以及这种系统的一些优势。 36.根据前文“Sending astronauts to Mars is a big challenge. It’s a long, dangerous journey. And astronauts will have to take EVERYTHING they need.(将宇航员送上火星是一项巨大的挑战。这是一段漫长而危险的旅程。宇航员将不得不带上他们所需要的一切)”可知，设空位于段尾是对前文的总结，所以D项“So a trip to Mars is full of packing challenge.(所以火星之旅充满了打包的挑战)”符合文意，是对前文的总结，宇航员需要带上很多东西，但是空间有限，所以充满了打包的挑战。故选D项。 37.根据第二段“Launching things into space is expensive. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn. “The problem is, it’s costly.”(向太空发射东西是昂贵的。“为了到达火星，我们已经有了技术，”迈克尔·弗林说。“问题是，成本太高了。”)”可知，此处是讲述送东西到火星，成本太高，后文“Instead of building a heavy spaceship and packing it full of stuff, why not build Water Walls—a recycling system and use the stuff as part of the spaceship?(与其建造一艘沉重的宇宙飞船并把它装满东西，为什么不建造Water Walls——一个回收系统，把这些东西作为宇宙飞船的一部分呢?)”可知，是提出一种解决方法，所以C项“But Flynn thinks he has a solution.(但弗林认为他有办法)”符合文意，承接上文，并引出下文。故选C项。 38.根据前文“Making oxygen and taking away carbon dioxide——the waste gas you breathe out—is one problem in space. Water Walls will remove carbon dioxide the same way it’s done here on Earth—with living plants. Living plants take in carbon dioxide to make their food, and give off oxygen. But plants are hard to grow in a spacecraft.(制造氧气和带走二氧化碳——你呼出的废气——是太空中的一个问题。Water Walls会像在地球上一样通过植物去除二氧化碳。活的植物吸收二氧化碳来制造食物，并释放氧气。但是植物很难在宇宙飞船中生长)”可知，前文讲述植物很难在宇宙飞船中生长，再根据后文“Algae are tiny plants that live in water.(藻类是生活在水中的微小植物)”可知，后文开始介绍藻类，所以空处应是提到用藻类解决指物很难在宇宙飞船中生长问题，所以A项“Algae can be a good choice.(藻类是一个不错的选择)”符合文意，提出解决方案，引出下文。故选A项。 39.设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“It’s compact (紧密的), efficient, and doesn’t need a lot of fancy machinery that might break down. A mission to Mars will require astronauts to get back to nature.(它紧凑、高效，而且不需要很多可能会坏掉的花哨机器。前往火星的任务将要求宇航员回归大自然)”可知，本段在讲述Water Walls回收系统的优点，所以F项“This onboard recycling system has many advantages.(这种机载回收系统有许多优点)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选F项。 40.设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Alas, the human body needs a lot of help to survive in space. If only we were more like the tardigrade! Tardigrades are very tiny insect-like creatures that live in soil. When they find themselves in danger, they roll themselves up into a ball and dry out.

Writing is having a comeback, which is great news for all of us. 36 Power off the laptop and phone and pick up a pen and paper. It helps you learn more readily. Using a laptop during lectures may be the modern way, but taking notes by hand appears to be more helpful to learning. 37 This, in turn, means you understand it better and commit it to memory. It enables you to remember well. 38 Researchers from Chicago found that people who continued reading and writing frequently slowed their memory decline by 32 per cent compared with those who didn't. The rate of memory decline in people who wrote or read only infrequently was 48 per cent faster. It allows you to sleep well. If you've ever woken up in the midnight and suddenly remembered certain things you haven't done, it'll be difficult for you to get back to sleep. They'll probably keep you awake because your brain is concerned you might have forgotten them again by morning. 39 That way you're giving your brain permission to forget about them for the night and you can nod off. 40 If you're interested in taking your writing to another level, then add modern calligraphy to your hobby list. Calligraphy forces you to slow down and achieve what psychologists call flow, which is a positive emotional state and enjoyment with no stress attached. A．It causes you to focus more. B．It helps you stay mentally healthy. C．Not sleeping well is harmful to you. D．Write down these reminders on paper. E．The pen is more powerful than the keyboard.

She’s a working mom with lots of hobbies, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes frustrated. Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun. 36 That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. Here is some advice from experts about how to overcome a tendency to misplace things: Take pictures. 37 Take a picture of your parking spot. The same advice applies to lots of things: Photograph all those spots where you store easy-to-lose objects, and when you can’t find them, pull up the photo. 38 Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote. It will make it easier to find when it appears. Set up a routine. That might mean placing a basket by your front door where you drop your keys and wallet immediately upon entering your home, or designating one drawer as the scissors drawer. 39 Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots. Be kind to yourself. It’s certainly understandable if you’re frustrated with your tendency to misplace things and you start to think that there’s something wrong with you. Then, you get anxious about that and even less likely to focus and keep track of your belongings. 40 A．Invest in technology. B．Make your belongings stand out. C．So remember to treat yourself well. D．Did you ever have trouble starting your car? E．Losing things results from absentmindedness. F．In this way, you make a “home” for everything. G．Ever wander around the parking lot because you can’t find your car? 【答案】36.E 37.G 38.B 39.F 40.C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了很多人会因为乱放物品然后一时找不到物品的情况，并针对这个问题提出了一些可行的解决办法，文章结构框架是总分关系。 36.上文“Her worry is probably familiar to anyone whose phone is misplaced a dozen times a day, or who can’t find the TV remote until ten minutes after a favorite show has begun.(对于那些一天有十几次手机放错地方，或者在最喜欢的节目开始后十分钟才找到电视遥控器的人来说，她的担忧可能很熟悉)”讲述了有些人乱放物品然后一时找不到物品的情况，下文“That’s a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory, where we are focused on something other than the object we’re going to lose. (这是在注意力和记忆的界面上的一种崩溃，我们专注于我们将要失去的对象之外的其他东西。)”可知，此空设于段中，上下文逻辑上有解释关系，E选项“失去东西是由于心不在焉造成的。”和下文一起解释了为什么会出现这种情况的原因，选项中的absentmindedness意指下文的a breakdown at the interface of attention and memory，同时从语法层面来看，考查了前后文的指代关系，空格后的That指代前文的内容。故选E项。 37.此空设于段中，通过上文“Take pictures.(拍照)”和下文的“Take a picture of your parking spot. (给你的停车位拍张照片。)”提示和段落大意可得知，建议给东西拍照（来找到它们），该空内容应该与在停车场找不到车时可以拍照片相关，G项“曾经因为找不到你的车而在停车场徘徊吗？”，G项有同词复现parking lot。故选G项。 38.此空设于段首，是本段的主题句。通过下文的“Dennis recommends designating (指定) a color that you love and using that color key ring and phone case, so that when you’re scanning, you’re always looking for your favorite color. (丹尼斯建议指定一种你喜欢的颜色，并使用那种颜色的钥匙扣和手机壳，这样当你在扫描寻找时，你总是在寻找你最喜欢的颜色。)”可以得出段落主题应该是B项“让你的个人物品显眼一些。”另外，本段与前后段落是平行并列关系，句式要保持一致，用祈使句。干扰项A则利用句式一致设陷。故选B项。 39.此空设于段中，根据上文的主题提示“Set up a routine.(创建常规)”和下文的“Then, at the end of the day “scan the areas where you’ve been, find the items that need to be taken back home, and return them to their spots. (然后，在一天结束时，‘扫描你去过的地方，找到需要带回家的物品，并将它们放回原位。’)”可以得知，应该让每件东西都放在应有的位置上，也就是给它们找个家，F项“通过这种方式，你可以为所有的东西建立一个‘家’。”。故选F项。 40.此空设于段尾，既是对上文的总结，也与段落首句“Be kind to yourself. (对自己好一些)”前后呼应，C项“所以记得好好对待自己。”。故选C项。 3.（23-24高一下·广东省广州市·期末） Food is not just something that supports life, but tells us stories about who we are, what we value, and how we establish relationships. 36 . Food and cultural identity are closely tied. The preparation and presentation of the traditional Japanese dishes like sushi are considered an art form. 37 Similarly, the use of spices in Indian cuisine reflects the country’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse regional flavors. Through food, individuals not only nourish their bodies but also nurture a deep connection to their cultural roots, cultivating a sense of identity and belonging. 38 A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, while a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. But it’s not just the vocabulary that matters. 39   When people are asked what comes to mind when thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast” while Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇)”. The French prize the dining experience whereas Americans lay an emphasis on what is entering the bloodstream. Food consumed by one person alone is not a social food. However, when consumed by a group of people together or eaten in a religious ceremony, it brings people together socially. In human society, food is a means for people to establish relationships between one another. 40 For instance, in the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings to express the relationship between themselves and God. In an increasingly interconnected world shaped by globalization, food not only helps preserve our culture but bridges cultural gaps, promoting understanding and appreciation across borders. A．It offers us different perspectives to know about our culture. B．Tradition is a word frequently referred to in their dictionary. C．This bond can exist among individuals and religious groups. D．A culture’s food vocabulary is also a window into its values. E．They mirror people’s culturally rooted respect for artistic value. F．It enables people to makes friends with each other while dining.

The French prize the dining experience whereas Americans lay an emphasis on what is entering the bloodstream.(当人们被问及想到煎蛋时会想到什么时，法国人说“早餐”，而美国人说“胆固醇”。法国人重视用餐体验，而美国人则强调进入血液的东西)”说明使用不同的词汇代表了不同人对于食物的态度，G项“这也是通过语言传递的对食物的态度。”引出下文不同人的不同态度，符合题意。故选G。 40.上文“Food consumed by one person alone is not a social food. However, when consumed by a group of people together or eaten in a religious ceremony, it brings people together socially.

It could enhance both your mental and physical health. 46 Smiling improves immunity and may lower blood pressure. A smile releases certain hormones in the brain, which is connected with an improvement in immune function. Moreover, the fact that smiling reduces your heart rate when you’re stressed is also likely to have an effect on blood pressure. Other research has shown blood pressure doesn't rise when people are exposed to humour. 36 A University of Kansas study found that participants who were asked to smile during stressful tasks had lower heart rates during stress recovery. So it seems even forcing yourself to look happy helps manage difficult situations. Looking happy encourages positivity. It seems smiling really can inspire your spirits, rather than simply being a response to feeling happy. A 2022 study of 3,878 participants in 19 countries was conducted. 48 Smile and live longer. Now, there is good news that being optimistic has a beneficial effect on longevity (长寿). 37 For example, a 2010 study from Washington State University found that pre-1950s major league baseball players who had the brightest smile in their photos lived longer. Of course, smiling also makes you popular with others and helps you connect with them. The good news is if you practise enough, it’ll become your habit. 38 For instance, see someone laughing, make a cup of tea or just put a note on your phone. Think of something pleasurable, such as a favourite person or memory, when you smile. A．The research backs it up. B．Smiling is a stress reliever. C．Smiling can reduce your pain. D．Being amused is a good way to help you relax yourself. E．Give yourself signs to remind you to put a smile on your face. F．Here are the reasons why smiling is beneficial to our well-being.

(在这里，专家将告诉你如何发现你不知道你会喜欢的爱好。)”可知，这段话的主旨是关于如何发现你可能会喜欢的爱好，具有挑战性和乐趣的爱好能让我们更快乐、更健康，也能增强人际联系，因此接下来应该是转折，指出找到这样的爱好并不容易。故D选项“But it isn’t easy to find your hobby (但找到你的爱好并不容易)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 37.由上文“Hobbies present an escape—they can help you get out of your head and calm down. It is necessary to ask yourself how you want an activity to make you feel. Mentally engaged? Relaxed? Socially connected? Recognize that you have different needs at different moments, and that’s OK. (爱好是一种逃避——它们可以帮助你摆脱头脑，冷静下来。有必要问问自己，你希望一项活动给你带来什么样的感受。精神投入？放松？轻松的社会联系？认识到你在不同的时刻有不同的需求，这没关系。)”可知，通过询问自己想要从活动中获得什么样的感受来选择爱好，并且认识到在不同时间有不同的需求是正常的。因此，这里应该强调没有哪一个爱好是完美适用于所有情况的。故E选项“There is no such thing as one perfect hobby (没有一个完美的爱好这回事)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 38.由上文“Keeping an open mind and not ignoring potential hobbies is the key. Human beings are born to be curious and open, which is usually forgotten in this burned-out world. (保持开放的心态，不要忽视潜在的爱好是关键。人类生来就是好奇和开放的，这一点在这个被烧毁的世界里往往被遗忘了。)”和下文的“It could introduce you to something you never guessed you’d love. (它会把你介绍给你从未想过你会喜欢的东西。)”可知，保持开放心态很重要，以及人类天生的好奇心和开放性往往在忙碌的生活中被遗忘。下文则说这可能引导你发现未曾预料到的喜爱。因此，此处应是鼓励抓住机会尝试。故G选项“So if someone invites you to join in an event, catch the opportunity (所以如果有人邀请你参加活动，抓住机会)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 39.由下文“Don’t spend a ton of time and money on a new hobby immediately. Ease in to figure out if it’s right for you, and you can always do more later. Try out a free online course or join a beginner’s group, for example, to get a feel of the hobby before committing heavily. (不要马上在一个新的爱好上花费大量的时间和金钱。慢慢地弄清楚它是否适合你，之后你总是可以做更多的事情。比如，参加一个免费的在线课程，或者加入一个初学者小组，在投入大量精力之前先感受一下自己的爱好。)”可知，下文建议不要立即投入大量时间和金钱在新爱好上，而是先从小处着手尝试。因此，A选项“Start small (从小处开始)”能概括本段主旨，适合作为该段的标题。故选A。 40.由上文“When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? (当你还是个孩子的时候，你长大后想做什么？)”和后文的“If you wanted to be a football player, join a football team or coach some neighborhood kids. Childhood joys can easily develop into adult hobbies. (如果你想成为一名足球运动员，那就加入一个足球队，或者给邻居家的孩子当教练。童年的快乐很容易发展成成人的爱好。)”可知，该段落主题是回顾童年梦想，寻找可能发展成成人爱好的兴趣点。前一句提问小时候长大想做什么，后一句举例说明如何将童年的愿望转化为现实的爱好，因此本空要谈论与“童年的愿望转化为现实的爱好”有关话题。因此，F选项“The answer could point you toward an attractive hobby (这个答案可能会指引你找到一个吸引人的爱好)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 6.（23-24高一下·广东省潮州市·期末） How to Make the World a Better Place When you think about people who have made the world a better place, you probably think of famous scientists or great leaders. 36 Ordinary people like you and me can also help a lot.

We’ve made a list of fun and environmentally-conscious Earth Day activities to help raise awareness and make a difference. Walk or ride your bike. 36 Each day can make a difference, but if you can commit to walking or biking more often in the future, that’s even better! If your daily commute (通勤) is too far for walking or biking, try environmentally-conscious public transportation like buses, trains, or shuttles. Carry reusable plastic or cloth bags. Most plastic bags are used for about 10-20 minutes, only to end up in a landfill for hundreds of years. 37 So use reusable grocery bags when you go to the supermarket or when you’re buying items at any store. 38 You can do this as an individual or join a community group. Many local environmental groups organize bigger events where you can join a team and clear roadways, highways, and neighborhood streets of litter, so see if your local community is hosting anything. Taking a moment to pick up any litter you see as you’re out and about on Earth Day is helpful and easy to do. Attend a local Earth Day event. See if your community is holding an environmental fair. If your community doesn’t have one planned, consider starting one yourself! 39 Any money raised can go towards a local environmental restoration project or group. Turn off lights when you’re not using them. Turn off lamps and overhead lights whenever you leave a room or your house. Electricity often comes from fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. 40 A．Pick up litter in your community. B．Join a volunteer activity to help a community. C．Going car-free for the day will reduce harm to the environment. D．Since humans use39trillion plastic bags a year, this is a big problem. E．So using as little electricity as possible is a great way to help the Earth. F．Landfills are already overflowing, so try to avoid adding to that situation.
