Master the power of a smile. A genuine smile can significantly boost your attractiveness. Research shows that a better smile enhances facial appeal for both men and women. Smiling not only makes you look more approachable but also signals warmth, confidence, and positive emotions. 2 Be a good audience. Want to increase your appeal instantly? Laugh at someone’s jokes sincerely. A study conducted in the United States and Norway found that expressing amusement — giggling or laughing — when someone makes a joke significantly increases romantic interest. 3 As a result, interactions become more engaging and attractive. 4 Appearing energetic and lively boosts attractiveness. Facial expressions and body language that convey liveliness, activity, and enthusiasm make someone seem more appealing. Since videos capture liveliness better than static (静态的) images, if you’re using dating apps or social media, consider using video s instead of just photos to highlight your dynamic presence. Maximize the “cheerleader effect”. Want to appear more attractive? Make the best use of the “cheerleader effect” by spending time with a group of people that includes at least some attractive individuals. 5 So, next time you want to make a great impression, gather your charming friends and let the magic of the group work for you! Attractiveness is about embracing your best qualities, building confidence, and forming meaningful connections. Remember, the most attractive version of you is the one that feels happy, empowered, and unapologetically yourself. A．Be real in videos. B．Make your energy obvious. C．All of them are highly attractive qualities. D．Surround yourself with a group of interesting people. E．Humor creates a sense of connection and playfulness. F．It’s about how you carry yourself, connect with others, and highlight your best qualities. G．It’s because the brain averages facial features in groups, unnoticeably improving perceived beauty. （二） （2025·广东佛山·二模） In a conversation, it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference. The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?” 1 You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. 2 In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. 3 Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” 4 Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. 5 Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A．Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B．You might not know how to respond. C．This power extends beyond social situations. D．Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E．A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F．This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing. G．As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions. （三） （2025·江苏·二模） Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years. 1 Half of these sufferers are children. Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight against infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. 2 The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous. An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). 3 What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics (抗生素). At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics have reduced our immune systems’ work. 4 A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. 5 They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future. A．This work is done by antibodies. B．The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately. C．Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness. D．Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives. E．The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals. F．Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries. G．Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them. （四） （2025·福建龙岩·二模） People naturally desire a native-like accent when learning English. It’s much easier said than done. Years of speaking native language condition our vocal organs to specific speech patterns, making unfamiliar English sounds particularly challenging to master. However, fluent communication doesn’t demand accent perfection. 1 Here are reasons to embrace your non-native accent. It’s the perfect ice-breaker. When talking to native speakers for the first time, they’ll notice your accent and often ask where you’re from. 2 This ensures you always have topics, making it easier to connect with people. It proves you’re intelligent. 3 If you are able to hold a conversation in English, people will be impressed. Even with an imperfect accent, your ability to communicate in English will make people recognize your intelligence. You don’t have to choose a “native” accent. English has a wide range of accents. People from different English-speaking regions have unique accents, yet most are mutually (相互) understandable. 4 5 Globally, 978 million speak English as a second language, much more than 370 million native speakers. In other words, more English speaker don’t have a “native” accent than those that do. Wear your accent as a symbol of honour for your hard work. In short, your accent is not a barrier to your English learning journey, but a unique identifier. Instead of struggling for a native-like accent, why not embrace your own unique accent? A．Language diversity is a global trend. B．Mastering a second language is no easy achievement. C．Most English speakers don’t have a “native” accent.

G．Such curiosity may bother you sometimes, but it effectively starts conversations. （五） （2025·北京海淀·二模） Stuffed animals, or plush toys, are a cherished part of childhood for many. Yet their appeal extends far beyond the early years. Whether it’s a soft lion or a cuddly bunny, these comforting companions have a unique place in the hearts of millions. 1 One of the primary reasons stuffed animals are so beloved is the comfort they provide. For children, these soft, huggable toys often serve as a source of emotional security. The act of cuddling a stuffed animal can provide reassurance and a sense of calm. 2 The tactile sensation of soft fabric and the comforting weight of a plush toy can act like a physical comfort object, similar to a security blanket. Besides, stuffed animals often become loyal companions, offering emotional support. 3 The attachment they develop to their stuffed animals is not just a passing phase. It often carries lasting emotional significance well into adulthood. 4 Children might “care” for their toys in ways they see adults caring for them, developing empathy and nurturing skills. This kind of play helps children understand complex emotions like love, concern, and responsibility. This allows them to build emotional intelligence from an early age. Beyond emotional comfort, stuffed animals have been used as tools in therapy. In child psychology, therapists often incorporate stuffed animals to help children express their emotions, fears, and wishes in a non-threatening way. When a child has difficulty verbalizing complex feelings, a stuffed animal can serve as a “voice” for those emotions. 5 Many find comfort in hugging or holding a plush toy as a way to alleviate stress, anxiety, or even physical pain. A growing body of research suggests hugging a stuffed animal can reduce stress hormones, and trigger the release of oxytocin, which promotes feelings of well-being and relaxation. A．Why do they hold such a special place in seeking comfort? B．Many children treat them as real friends or family members. C．But what makes stuffed animals more than just simple toys? D．Stuffed animals are also often used as a form of role-playing. E．It can help children feel safe, especially during times of stress.

G．Adults too can benefit from the therapeutic aspects of stuffed animals. （六） （2025·浙江嘉兴·二模） Emotions can shape us in different ways. 1 Taking responsibility of your emotions is how you stand out from the crowd. Let’s explore some powerful strategies to help you on this journey. •Accept others as they are 2 Keeping that in mind, remember you cannot change others. Even if you try changing others, you will only be hurting yourself in the process. The best course of action would be to change yourself. This is how you will become emotionally intelligent and happier. •Try using “I” statements. Hiding your emotions can harm relationships.

However, in over 70% of cases, we let them take hold and this is completely wrong. Whenever the other person is behaving in an upsetting manner, ask yourself if you have done anything to make them feel like that. Self-reflection helps you respond thoughtfully rather than letting emotions take control. •Mind your words and actions.

Morning Rituals Matter Waking up with a heavy head or sticky tongue often signals excess dampness. Start your day by drinking warm water with sliced ginger — this simple habit. 1 . My neighbor Aunt Zhang, who suffered from joint stiffness for years, found relief through this method combined with gentle morning stretches. II. Food as Natural Medicine Traditional soups work better than pills. A bowl of red bean and barley porridge (红豆薏米粥) at lunch helps drain dampness naturally. Avoid raw salads and iced drinks; instead, 2 . Remember how Grandma always steamed pears with rock sugar when you coughed? That’s food therapy in action. III.

Office worker Mr. Li reduced his afternoon fatigue by taking staircase breaks instead of elevator rides — a small change with big impact. IV. Dress Smartly Wet hair after showers and damp socks breed internal moisture. Always dry your hair thoroughly and wear breathable cotton clothes. During rainy seasons, 4 . My cousin Saya stopped wearing tight jeans in humid summers and saw her skin rashes disappear. V. Mind Your Environment Dampness lurks in moldy corners and airless rooms.

A．keep your shoes on a heated mat to drive out trapped dampness B．roasted pumpkin seeds make better snacks than cold yogurt C．sun-dried orange peel tea becomes your best companion D．slight perspiration feels refreshing compared to sticky skin E．place bamboo charcoal under your bed to absorb excess moisture F．massaging the space between thumb and index finger boosts energy G．stir-fried vegetables with garlic warm the stomach better than raw dishes （八） （2025·河南·二模） If you find that it’s challenging to decrease your cellphone use, you should know that it’s not because you have poor willpower. “It’s hard to change your habits around your phone use because our phones are thoughtfully designed to attract our attention and make it difficult to turn away,” Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up With Your Phone, explains. 1 Think about your “why”. Price recommends that you figure out a positive goal to focus on. “In other words, ask yourself what you want to be spending your time and attention on,” Price said. You can also regard this as your “why”. Next, identify how your phone is interfering with your priorities. 2 So, if your priority is reading new books but you find yourself browsing social media instead, get your phone out of your bedroom. Turn on your phone’s grayscale (灰度) setting. One way to make your phone less interesting is by turning on the grayscale feature. The bright colors and movement on a screen hit our dopamine (多巴胺) receptors that are of addictive qualities. 3 In fact, those who turned on their grayscale setting were less attracted to pick up their phone than those who did not use this tool. 4 The sound of incoming texts and emails is hard to ignore. “If you have your phone on loud and you have notifications going, the minute you see that screen light up or you hear that little ding, you immediately stop to check it,” Price says. It can be helpful to set your phone to silent mode to avoid this. Move your phone away from your body. When something is constantly within your sight, it’s only natural to want to reach for it. Remember to get your phone away from your body and out of your view to fight this. 5 A．Put your phone on silent. B．Turn off non-essential notifications. C．So when the colors are less bright, you will be less addicted. D．Instead, they trick your brain into wanting to check your phone less. E．But there still are a number of effective ways to decrease your phone use. F．By doing that you can decide what you can do to focus on those priorities easily. G．You can try leaving your phone upstairs or in the kitchen while watching a movie. （九） （2025·吉林·二模） In modern marketing psychology, subtle environmental cues guide consumer decisions. Retailers exploit sensory stimuli, spatial design, and cognitive heuristics (启发式) to shape perceptions without overt persuasion. A well-crafted retail environment can evoke emotions, reinforce brand identity, and lower resistance to purchasing. In every flagship Apple Store, each MacBook is showcased at exactly a 76° incline, and employees may not touch or adjust it. Although that precise tilt feels ergonomically awkward for an average-height visitor, its aim lies beyond mere practicality: 1 Despite the initial discomfort induced by the steep angle, visitors seldom notice the awkwardness until touching the trackpad. 2 When consumers briefly lay a finger on the keyboard, they experience an affordance (可供性) that bridges mere display and personal use; 3 Thus, in their mind’s eye, the laptop already belongs to them, and foregoing purchase equates to genuine loss aversion. Jon L. Pierce first articulated the concept of “psychological ownership,” describing how mere contact or control can ignite a subjective sense of possession. This mental state reduces cognitive dissonance (认知失调) when a product is acquired and increases personal responsibility toward its upkeep, much like true ownership would. Apple’s prohibition on staff-handled demonstrations further exploits a natural instinct: 4 — visitors guard what they believe to be “theirs.” Yet if a store assistant intervenes to solve a malfunction, the customer’s first reaction is resistance; 5 thereafter, they detach from the imagined possession, adopt a detached “sage” mindset, and lose the spontaneous desire to buy. A．to prompt brief tactile engagement that triggers ownership fantasies. B．because loss looms larger than equivalent gain. C．they begin imagining themselves as rightful owners. D．heuristic-driven aversion to giving up possessions. E．food-protection effect. F．they reflexively resist unwarranted intervention. G．to enhance product affordance for aesthetic assessment. （十） （2025·湖北·二模） One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. 1 In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth. Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures — it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. 2 To begin, start with simple and achievable steps. 3 For instance, join a fitness class, enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting. Workshops and seminars not only build skills but also connect you with like-minded peers. Focus on forming habits that support your goals — whether waking up earlier, practicing mindfulness, or dedicating 30 minutes daily to learning. Equally important is letting go of habits that hold you back, such as procrastination or negative self-talk.   4 Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges. Unlike temporary jobs, the skills you develop — like critical thinking or communication — stay with you, creating lifelong stability. Additionally, investing in relationships strengthens your support network, offering joy and resilience during tough times.   Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it “someday.” 5 Instead, ask yourself: “Will this add value to my life?” If the answer is yes, act now. Don’t wait any longer to get started. A．After all, tomorrow is another day. B．Watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards. C．Tomorrow after tomorrow, yet tomorrow never arrives. D．With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. E．Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money. F．Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget. G．But all too often, the benefits of investing in yourself get lost in the chaos. （十一） （2025·江西·二模） Have you ever felt like time is slipping away too fast? 1 But is time really speeding up, or is it just how we perceive it? Psychologists explain that our sense of time is shaped by our experiences. When life falls into a repetitive routine, time appears to rush by. In contrast, when we engage in new and exciting activities, time seems to slow down. 2 Whether it’s traveling to unfamiliar places, exploring different neighborhoods, or picking up a new hobby, trying new things creates vivid and lasting impressions. Learning something new, such as a language, an instrument, or a skill, enriches our days and makes them feel more substantial. 3 Therefore, instead of rushing through the day, we should slow down and observe our surroundings. When we notice the changing seasons, listen to conversations, and appreciate small details, we become more aware of the present. Practicing mindfulness improves our memory and helps us feel more in control of time. 4 When we watch birds, feel the wind, or listen to waves, we become more present in the moment. Research suggests that involving ourselves in nature changes our perception of time. These experiences feel richer and more meaningful. When we spend time with loved ones, volunteer, or build relationships, the moments become deeply memorable. Emotional engagement increases our awareness, helping us create lasting memories and slowing the constant march of time. 5 So creating meaningful moments will create a sense of timelessness. A．Spending time in nature encourages mindfulness. B．Traveling is an excellent way of slowing down time. C．When we fully engage in a new activity, time stretches. D．The widespread feeling that time is speeding up can be stressful. E．Many people notice that the years seem to pass faster as they age. F．All in all, time itself does not change, but our experience of it does. G．This is because our brans measure time based on the richness of activities. （十二） （2025·山东潍坊·二模） In today’s hyper-connected world, most of us are flooded by an ocean of messages and social media feeds, from the moment we wake up to the instant we close our eyes. It’s not just a matter of convenience or novelty anymore — fixation on screens has become our habit, a necessity, and even an addiction. 1 Constant engagement not only consumes our time, but also steal us something far more important: peace of mind. Silence is as critical to mental health as vitamins are to physical well-being. People are particular about what foods they put in their bodies: whether organic, vegetarian, or fat-free. 2 The mental junk we absorb daily can be arguably harmful than the occasional cheeseburger or donut. The never-ending flood of sensory input taxes the brain’s limited attention resources, leaving little room for deep thinking, reflecting, or creativity. 3 Quiet time helps the brain relax, sort through what it has taken in, and regain lost mental energy. As American artist Leonard Koren suggests in his book Wabi-Sabi, silence can be’ “an emptiness full of possibilities,” a space where creativity and clarity emerge. Adding moments of quiet to your daily routine doesn’t require dramatic changes. 4 Better yet, research shows that brief exposure to nature, like a walk in the woods, lowers stress levels, reduces blood pressure, and sharpens focus. These benefits occur because green spaces and natural soundscapes provide a much-needed break from today’s busy, stressful world. Digital life crowds out silence, making simply sitting in silence almost unthinkable — yet the very moments of stillness are what our minds really need. They let us listen to our thoughts, reflect on our experiences, and connect with ourselves in a way that is impossible in the noise of modern life. 5 A．But rarely do we ask ourselves: at what cost? B．So, shouldn’t we make laws requiring quiet time every day? C．It can be as simple as pausing 30 seconds to watch clouds. D．Next time you reach for your phone, resist the urge and sit in silence. E．We check our phone 58 times a day, 30%occurring during work hours. F．But they aren’t as picky about what they are exposed to through the senses. G．Just as our bodies need nutrition, our minds require silence to function well. （十三） （2025·山东聊城·二模） In the age of constant connectivity through music, podcasts and calls, earphones have seemed to become a necessity. 1 This article will help you reduce the risk of ear-related issues and ensure a comfortable listening experience. Choose the right type of earphones. In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels. 2 Besides, on-ear or over-ear headphones can be more comfortable for some individuals who have sensitive ear canals. 3 To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time. It’s suggested that you should use built-in features on your device to track your listening time, which can be helpful in sticking to a safe limit. Adjust the earphones properly. When fitting the earphones, adjust the earphone position until you find a comfortable and secure fit that provides good sound quality without causing pain. Remember to periodically check and readjust the earphones as needed, especially during physical activities or long listening periods. 4 Keep your ears clean. Regularly cleaning your ears is essential when it comes to pain-free listening with earphones. The build-up of earwax (耳垢) can not only affect the sound quality but also lead to discomfort and potential damage to the ear canal if left unattended. To prevent this, make sure to gently clean your ears with cotton sticks regularly. 5 That will push wax deeper and potentially cause damage. A．Limit listening time. B．Take regular listening breaks. C．Clean your earphones with a soft cloth regularly. D．Avoid putting the sticks too deep into the ear canal. E．Finding the right fit ensures a pain-free experience. F．This design prevents the earphones dropping out as well. G．Enjoyable as they are, improper use of earphones can cause discomfort. （十四） （2025·河北·二模） The thought of relocating to another city is worrying. 1 . But remember that you are not the first to experience a life-changing move. So, if you are moving to another city soon, take a look at the following tips. Consider the price of housing Spend some time before you move researching the average cost of homes in the area that you are moving to. 2 If you know where you are going to be staying before you arrive, you will reduce much of the stress that you will have once you get there. Research transportation methods As soon as you arrive in a new city, you are going to immediately need to have a plan for how you will get from one place to another. Compare the cost of using public transportation with that of owning your own vehicle. You’d better consider the environmental impact and convenience. 3 . Pay attention to the diet When you move to a new city, your eating habits may change due to different food options available. 4 . Try to maintain a balanced diet by incorporating local produce and nutritious options. If you have dietary restrictions, check for nearby specialty stores or restaurants that can cater to your needs. 5 After you move to another city, you do not want to forget the people that you have left behind back home. Whether it is through email, social media, or phone, let the important people on your contact list know your latest news.

The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations (幻觉) and depression. 1 And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again. As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. 2 That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards. In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. 3 *To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep using it! 4 *When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualize an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay finished, and use that positive image to make you swing into action. *Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life. 5 But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now. A．The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age. B．Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. C．Here are my tips for becoming a confident time traveller yourself. D．The following tricks help connect with your past and future selves. E．You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time. F．But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way”. G．There’ll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. （十六） （2025·浙江衢州·二模） Ugh! You swear you had your keys a second ago, and now they’ re just gone! Before you panic, take a deep breath. 1 . Losing things is a part of life, but finding them doesn’t have to be a nerve-wracking rush. In this article, we’ll teach you where you can look and how you can retrace your steps to find lost objects. Identify what makes your missing object stand out in its environment. It might be its size, color, texture or shape. 2 It will make the process faster and more efficient. Instead of looking at everything in a space, this approach helps you focus your attention only on objects with that distinction. Look in places where you’ve lost this item before. Do you tend to lose your keys or student cards often? If so, it may have ended up in a similar place as before. Think about where your common lost objects tend to be lost. For example, maybe you have a habit of leaving your keys in the lock or your bag in the car. 3 Try looking at the room from a new angle. If you’ve retraced your steps, gone through all the motions, and still haven’t found anything, change your perspective. Crawl instead of walking down the hall. 4 Seeing things from a different point of view can help you notice details you may have missed before. 5 Scattered and crowded areas make it easier to lose objects, as things can fall under other things or get buried beneath piles. Regularly clean and tidy up living spaces, so you won’t have to spend more time looking for things later on. A．Or sit where you were standing. B．Then search based on that unique feature. C．Look in the messiest areas of your living space. D．Everyone misplaces things every now and again. E．Check these places before extending your search. F．The best thing you can do to avoid losing things is be organized. G．Thinking about the last time you saw it helps you retrace your steps. （十七） （2025·江西鹰潭·二模） Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats. You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals — an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. 1 While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human “Foley artists (拟音师)”. 2 Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they generally can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. 3 There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can’t capture clearly. “Foley artists” will use a variety of tools to simulate the sounds made by animals. And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths. These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they’re paired with. 4 Animal cries — which are far too complex to be simulated — will have to be taken from library recordings. Watching “Foley artists” at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. How it is portrayed in documentaries may also impact conservation efforts. 5 A．But this isn’t quite the case. B．There are some exceptions, though. C．The Foley process involves a large team. D．Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. E．Sounds guide our emotional interpretation of the things we see. F．This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking. G．Sounds have the ability to shape our understanding of a given species. （十八） （2025·河北石家庄·二模） Procrastination is delaying tasks, even when we know we shouldn’t. We say, “I’ll do it later,” but later turns into much later — or never. It’s not laziness; it’s avoiding stress or discomfort. But those tasks don’t go away — they stay and add to our worries. While procrastination is a persistent problem, actionable strategies can help you break the cycle over time. Limit distractions (分心的事) Do you have any distractions which hold you back from doing your tasks? Find them and try to avoid or reduce them. For example, if you are distracted by your mobile often, turn off the notifications. 1 . You can also use music to focus on your tasks. Music has the power to keep you out of those distracting noises. Apply the 2-minute rule The 2-minute rule is a simple way to beat procrastination.

Exercise and eating habits form its foundation. Some believe they demand lots of effort or planning. But that’s not true. In fact, the best way to work them into our lives is by making small changes that gradually become part of our routine. 1 Regular Exercise Teens should get 60+ minutes of daily physical activity. 2 All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including dancing, brisk walking, or stair-climbing. Breaking works into 15-minute “exercise snacks” (e. g., morning yoga, lunchtime walks) throughout the day makes goals more achievable. This strategy avoids burnout while keeping energy steady. Good Eating Habits 3 Actually, crash diets cause weight rebounds. A 2022 study found 80% of teens regained weight post-diet. Therefore, teens should eat a variety of foods, and there’s nothing wrong with the occasional treat. A candy bar somehow beats snapping daily. To build lasting habits, reshape your mindset. 4 When stressed, try brief walks rather than reaching for snacks. Track weekly progress with a checklist—small achievements boost motivation strongly. In conclusion, creatively design routines blending exercise and nutrition in your own way. 5 While others choose gym workouts, you might prefer playing Frisbee with your dog. Knowing what’s right for you will make it a lot easier to do! A．You’re all different after all. B．Independence matters in habit-building. C．View food as fuel, not emotional comfort. D．Low-calorie diets ensure steady weight loss. E．Eating well doesn’t mean dieting over and over. F．It doesn’t mean doing tough exercises or hitting the gym. G．Here’s how to make these other healthy habits just as easy. （二十） （2025·山东济宁·二模） Creating your own plant specimens (标本) is a fun, simple project that anyone can do at home. It involves collecting plant specimens, pressing them and labeling them. 1 Just keep an eye out wherever you go and look for your eye-catching plants. Labeling them is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to show you how to press the specimens. Construct a homemade plant press. 2 Then cover it with a piece of corrugated (起皱的) card, followed by 2 sheets of absorbent paper. This will serve as the bottom half of your press. Have a second board and more cards and absorbent paper on standby for when you’re ready to put the top half. Arrange your specimens on the bottom half of your press. Lay out each cutting which you’ve cleaned beforehand in such a way that it looks as attractive as possible. 3 If possible, stretch smaller specimens out to their full length so that they dry perfectly flat. Leave 1-2 inches of space between each specimen to keep them from sticking together. 4 Once you’re satisfied with the layout of your plants, sandwich them with another layer of absorbent paper, corrugated card, and hardboard. Pile bricks, large books, or similar items evenly across the upper board to weigh it down and press the cuttings flat. Continue drying and pressing your specimens. 5 Depending on the size and type of the plants you’re preserving, it may take them anywhere from a couple of days to 3 full weeks to dry completely. A．Collecting plant specimens is very simple. B．Describe any outstanding features you notice. C．Start by selecting the materials you may need. D．Place one hardboard flat against a level surface. E．The duration of this process varies considerably. F．Close the press and set heavy objects on top to create pressure.

The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?” 1 You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. 2 In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. 3 Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” 4 Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. 5 Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A．Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B．You might not know how to respond. C．This power extends beyond social situations. D．Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E．A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F．This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing. G．As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions. 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．F 5．G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了提问在对话中的重要性，以及如何提出“好”问题来促进更深入、更有意义的交流。 【1 题详解】 空前“Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?”(有人没有问通常的“工作怎么样？”而是问：“最近是什么在激励着你？”)”说明人问的问题变了，空后“You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you.(你发现自己在分享一本改变了你观点的书，或者最近让你感动的经历。)”说明自己分享的事情也出现了变化，空格处应该说明说的话题起了变化，A选项“Suddenly, the conversation shifts.(突然，话题转移了。)”说明了话题出现了转移，承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【2 题详解】 空后“In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams.(在专业的环境中，深思熟虑的问题可以带来更好的解决问题和更强大的团队。)”说明了这种话题的转移的作用不光体现在社交场合，还体现在专业环境中，C选项“This power extends beyond social situations.(这种力量超越了社交场合。)”说明了话题转移的力量超越了社交场合，引起下文，符合语境，故选C。 【3 题详解】 空后“Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic.(在问问题之前，考虑一下你真正想了解这个人或话题的什么。)”说明了在问问题之前，要想清楚你想了解什么，也就是你对这个人的哪方面比较好奇，D选项“Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity.(提出强有力的问题始于真正的好奇心。)”说明了提出强有力的问题是需要好奇心的，引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 【4 题详解】 空前“Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?”(与其问“你假期玩得开心吗？”不如问“这次旅行中，哪个瞬间让你印象最深刻？”)”提出了一个改变问问题的方式的具体例子，空格处应该说这么做的好处，F选项“This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing.(这样，你就鼓励了特定的经历和情感分享。)”说明了改变问问题的方式的好处，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【5 题详解】 空前“The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey.(提出问题和建立更深层次联系的艺术是一个持续的过程。)”说明提出问题是持续发展的过程，空后“Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection.

Allergy is a reaction that occurs when the immune system, which produces substances to help your body fight against infection and disease, has a strange and unnecessary reaction to a normally harmless substance, such as seafood or peanuts. To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again. 2 The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous. An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction). 3 What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This leads to the signs of an allergy, such as swelling, rashes, sneezing, sore eyes, and breathlessness. Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies. They are more likely to develop allergies. There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics (抗生素). At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics have reduced our immune systems’ work. 4 A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. 5 They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future. A．This work is done by antibodies. B．The most severe allergic reaction must be treated immediately. C．Sufferers may be given medicine to control the signs of illness. D．Now, one-third of us are affected by an allergy at some point in our lives. E．The antibody then attaches itself to cells, which contain certain chemicals. F．Thus spare energy may be directed to harmless substances such as strawberries. G．Sometimes, people can eat nuts for years and suddenly become allergic to them. 【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．G 4．F 5．C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了过去30年过敏更普遍，三分之一的人会受影响，一半患者是儿童。过敏是免疫系统对无害物质的异常反应。过敏反应不一定首次接触过敏原就发生，免疫系统还可能因抗生素而将精力指向无害物质。研究致力于治过敏，患者或用药控制症状、做测试避过敏原。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“Allergies (过敏) have become more common over the last 30 years.(在过去的30年里，过敏变得越来越普遍)”以及后文“Half of these sufferers are children.(这些患者中有一半是儿童)”可知，本句主要是在说明人们过敏的普遍情况。故D选项“现在，我们中有三分之一的人在生活的某个阶段受到过敏的影响”承接前文数据，引出后文儿童比例，故选D。 【2 题详解】 根据上文“To defend your body against an attacker, the immune system remembers these dangerous micro-organisms and attacks them if it meets them again.(为了保护你的身体免受攻击，免疫系统会记住这些危险的微生物，如果再次遇到它们就会攻击它们)”以及后文“The immune system of allergy sufferers makes antibodies (抗体) against harmless substances because it mistakenly believes them dangerous.(过敏患者的免疫系统会对无害物质产生抗体，因为它错误地认为这些物质是危险的)”可知，上文解释了免疫系统的作用，后文提到了产生抗体，推测免疫系统发挥作用需要抗体，A选项antibodies对应后文antibodies。故A选项“这项工作是由抗体完成的”符合语境，故选A。 【3 题详解】 根据上文“An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen (the substance causing the reaction).(患者第一次接触过敏原（引起过敏反应的物质）时可能不会发生过敏反应)”以及后文“What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody.(现在的情况是，免疫系统已经确定这种物质是危险的，并产生了过敏抗体)”可知，上文提到了第一次接触不会过敏，后文提到了免疫系统确定物质危险产生抗体，说明过敏是之后发生的。故G选项“有时候，人们可能吃了多年坚果，突然对它们过敏”举例说明此现象，故选G。 【4 题详解】 根据上文“There may also be a link between allergies and antibiotics (抗生素). At one time, our immune systems were kept busy fighting off disease and trying to win the battle for health, but antibiotics have reduced our immune systems’ work.(过敏和抗生素之间也可能存在联系。曾经，我们的免疫系统忙于抵抗疾病，试图赢得健康之战，但抗生素减少了我们免疫系统的工作)”可知，前文说抗生素减少了免疫系统的工作，本句进一步说明免疫系统因为工作减少而可能发生的的事情（该事情应与过敏相关），故F选项“因此，多余的能量可以用于草莓等无害物质”解释过敏增加原因，故选F。 【5 题详解】 根据上文“A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies.(大量的研究正致力于寻找治疗过敏的方法)”以及后文“They may also be offered tests to find out what substances cause an allergic reaction so that they can avoid contact with them in the future.(他们也可以接受测试，以找出哪些物质会引起过敏反应，以便他们将来避免接触这些物质)”可知，前文说大量研究致力于寻找治疗过敏的方法，后文说可能会进行测试找出引起过敏反应的物质，本句衔接前后文，说明除了研究治疗方法，还会对患者采取药物控制症状等措施，故C选项“患者可能会被给予药物来控制疾病的迹象”符合语境，故选C。 （四） （2025·福建龙岩·二模） People naturally desire a native-like accent when learning English.

Price recommends that you figure out a positive goal to focus on. “In other words, ask yourself what you want to be spending your time and attention on,” Price said. You can also regard this as your “why”. Next, identify how your phone is interfering with your priorities. 2 So, if your priority is reading new books but you find yourself browsing social media instead, get your phone out of your bedroom. Turn on your phone’s grayscale (灰度) setting. One way to make your phone less interesting is by turning on the grayscale feature. The bright colors and movement on a screen hit our dopamine (多巴胺) receptors that are of addictive qualities. 3 In fact, those who turned on their grayscale setting were less attracted to pick up their phone than those who did not use this tool. 4 The sound of incoming texts and emails is hard to ignore. “If you have your phone on loud and you have notifications going, the minute you see that screen light up or you hear that little ding, you immediately stop to check it,” Price says. It can be helpful to set your phone to silent mode to avoid this. Move your phone away from your body. When something is constantly within your sight, it’s only natural to want to reach for it. Remember to get your phone away from your body and out of your view to fight this. 5 A．Put your phone on silent. B．Turn off non-essential notifications. C．So when the colors are less bright, you will be less addicted. D．Instead, they trick your brain into wanting to check your phone less. E．But there still are a number of effective ways to decrease your phone use. F．By doing that you can decide what you can do to focus on those priorities easily. G．You can try leaving your phone upstairs or in the kitchen while watching a movie. 【答案】 1．E 2．F 3．C 4．A 5．G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何减少手机使用的方法。 【1 题详解】 上文““It’s hard to change your habits around your phone use because our phones are thoughtfully designed to attract our attention and make it difficult to turn away,” Catherine Price, author of How to Break Up With Your Phone, explains.(《如何与手机分手》的作者凯瑟琳・普莱斯解释说：‘很难改变你使用手机的习惯，因为我们的手机经过精心设计，吸引我们的注意力，让人很难转移视线。’)”指出改变使用手机习惯困难的原因，E选项“But there still are a number of effective ways to decrease your phone use.(但仍然有许多有效的方法可以减少你的手机使用量。)”中的But表转折，引出下文介绍减少手机使用的方法，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选E项。 【2 题详解】 上文“Price recommends that you figure out a positive goal to focus on. “In other words, ask yourself what you want to be spending your time and attention on, ” Price said.

Retailers exploit sensory stimuli, spatial design, and cognitive heuristics (启发式) to shape perceptions without overt persuasion. A well-crafted retail environment can evoke emotions, reinforce brand identity, and lower resistance to purchasing. In every flagship Apple Store, each MacBook is showcased at exactly a 76° incline, and employees may not touch or adjust it. Although that precise tilt feels ergonomically awkward for an average-height visitor, its aim lies beyond mere practicality: 1 Despite the initial discomfort induced by the steep angle, visitors seldom notice the awkwardness until touching the trackpad. 2 When consumers briefly lay a finger on the keyboard, they experience an affordance (可供性) that bridges mere display and personal use; 3 Thus, in their mind’s eye, the laptop already belongs to them, and foregoing purchase equates to genuine loss aversion. Jon L. Pierce first articulated the concept of “psychological ownership,” describing how mere contact or control can ignite a subjective sense of possession. This mental state reduces cognitive dissonance (认知失调) when a product is acquired and increases personal responsibility toward its upkeep, much like true ownership would. Apple’s prohibition on staff-handled demonstrations further exploits a natural instinct: 4 — visitors guard what they believe to be “theirs.” Yet if a store assistant intervenes to solve a malfunction, the customer’s first reaction is resistance; 5 thereafter, they detach from the imagined possession, adopt a detached “sage” mindset, and lose the spontaneous desire to buy. A．to prompt brief tactile engagement that triggers ownership fantasies. B．because loss looms larger than equivalent gain. C．they begin imagining themselves as rightful owners. D．heuristic-driven aversion to giving up possessions. E．food-protection effect. F．they reflexively resist unwarranted intervention. G．to enhance product affordance for aesthetic assessment. 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了现代营销心理学中，零售商如何通过微妙的环境线索来引导消费者的决策。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“Although that precise tilt feels ergonomically awkward for an average-height visitor, its aim lies beyond mere practicality(尽管对于中等身高的顾客来说，这个精确的倾斜角度在人体工程学上感觉有些不舒服，但其目的远不止于实用性这么简单)”可知，上文提到MacBook展示的倾斜角度目的超出了实用性，空处应该是其这样设计的目的。选项A“to prompt brief tactile engagement that triggers ownership fantasies.(其目的是促使顾客进行短暂的触觉接触，从而引发拥有的幻想。)”指出了这种设计是为了在消费者中引发特定的心理反应，与前文提到的零售商利用各种因素来塑造消费者认知相呼应。故选A。 【2 题详解】 根据上文“Despite the initial discomfort induced by the steep angle, visitors seldom notice the awkwardness until touching the trackpad.(尽管这个陡峭的角度会带来最初的不适感，但顾客在触摸触控板之前很少会注意到这种不舒服。)”可知，顾客很少注意到倾斜角度的尴尬，直到触摸触控板。选项C“they begin imagining themselves as rightful owners.(他们开始把自己想象成合法的所有者)”自然延续上文内容，描述了触摸带来的心理变化。同时与下文“When consumers briefly lay a finger on the keyboard, they experience an affordance (可供性) that bridges mere display and personal use(当消费者轻轻将手指放在键盘上时，他们会体验到一种可供性，这种可供性在单纯的展示和个人使用之间架起了一座桥梁)”保持一致。故选C。 【3 题详解】 根据上文“When consumers briefly lay a finger on the keyboard, they experience an affordance (可供性) that bridges mere display and personal use(当消费者轻轻将手指放在键盘上时，他们会体验到一种可供性，这种可供性在单纯的展示和个人使用之间架起了一座桥梁)”可知，上文提出顾客心中电脑已属于他们。而空后“Thus, in their mind’s eye, the laptop already belongs to them, and foregoing purchase equates to genuine loss aversion.(所以在他们的心目中，这台笔记本电脑已经属于他们了，而放弃购买就等同于真正的损失厌恶心理。)”则指出放弃购买就等同于真正的损失厌恶。选项B“because loss looms larger than equivalent gain.(因为损失比同等的收益显得更为突出)”解释了原因，即损失比同等的收益显得更突出。故选B。 【4 题详解】 根据空前“Apple’s prohibition on staff-handled demonstrations further exploits a natural instinct(苹果公司禁止员工进行产品演示，这进一步利用了一种自然本能)”可知，空处指出了一种自然本能。而空后“visitors guard what they believe to be “theirs.”(顾客会保护他们认为是“自己的”东西。)”则进一步解释了这种本能。选项D“heuristic-driven aversion to giving up possessions(由认知启发式驱动的不愿放弃财产的厌恶心理)”正是这种自然本能，即启发式驱动的不愿放弃财产的厌恶心理，所以顾客会保护他们认为是自己的东西。故选D。 【5 题详解】 根据上文“Yet if a store assistant intervenes to solve a malfunction, the customer’s first reaction is resistance;(然而，如果店员介入来解决产品故障，顾客的第一反应就是抵制)”可知，如果店员介入解决故障，顾客的第一反应是抵制。选项F“they reflexively resist unwarranted intervention.(他们会本能地抵制不必要的干预。)”进一步说明他们会本能地抵制不必要的干预，与前文衔接紧密。故选F。 （十） （2025·湖北·二模） One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. 1 In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth. Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures — it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. 2 To begin, start with simple and achievable steps. 3 For instance, join a fitness class, enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting. Workshops and seminars not only build skills but also connect you with like-minded peers. Focus on forming habits that support your goals — whether waking up earlier, practicing mindfulness, or dedicating 30 minutes daily to learning. Equally important is letting go of habits that hold you back, such as procrastination or negative self-talk.   4 Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges. Unlike temporary jobs, the skills you develop — like critical thinking or communication — stay with you, creating lifelong stability. Additionally, investing in relationships strengthens your support network, offering joy and resilience during tough times.   Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it “someday.” 5 Instead, ask yourself: “Will this add value to my life?” If the answer is yes, act now. Don’t wait any longer to get started. A．After all, tomorrow is another day. B．Watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards. C．Tomorrow after tomorrow, yet tomorrow never arrives. D．With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. E．Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money. F．Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget. G．But all too often, the benefits of investing in yourself get lost in the chaos. 【答案】 1．E 2．D 3．F 4．B 5．C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对自己进行投资的重要性，以及如何进行自我投资，还阐述了自我投资带来的好处，并鼓励人们不要等待，抓住机会进行自我投资。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“One of the most valuable investments you can make is in yourself. (你能做的最有价值的投资之一就是投资自己。)”以及下文“In reality, these excuses often stem from undervaluing personal growth. (实际上，这些借口往往源于对个人成长的低估。)”可知，此处应是提到了人们对于投资自己存在一些借口。E选项“Yet, many people delay this, claiming they lack time or money. (然而，很多人推迟这样做，声称他们缺乏时间或金钱。)”中的“delay this”承接上文投资自己，“claiming they lack time or money”引出下文的借口。故选E项。 【2 题详解】 根据上文“Self-investment isn’t about grand gestures — it’s choosing actions that enrich your life, whether learning a skill, exploring a new place, or nurturing meaningful relationships. Even small efforts, like reading a book, spending time in nature, or attending a workshop, can spark significant growth. (自我投资不是什么伟大的举动 —— 它是选择能丰富你生活的行动，无论是学习一项技能、探索一个新地方，还是培养有意义的关系。即使是小小的努力，比如读一本书、花时间在大自然中或参加一个研讨会，也能引发显著的成长。)”可知，此处强调了自我投资的方式以及小努力也能带来成长。D选项“With this perspective, the process becomes straightforward. (有了这种观点，这个过程就变得简单明了了。)”中的“this perspective”指代上文对自我投资的看法，“the process becomes straightforward”说明明白了这些后自我投资的过程就简单了。故选D项。 【3 题详解】 根据上文“To begin, start with simple and achievable steps. (首先，从简单且可实现的步骤开始。)”以及下文“For instance, join a fitness class, enroll in an online course, or try a creative hobby like painting. (例如，参加健身课程，注册在线课程，或者尝试像绘画这样有创意的爱好。)”可知，此处应是说要确定一些符合自己情况的活动。F选项“Identify activities that correspond with your interests and budget. (确定与你的兴趣和预算相符的活动。)”中的“activities”对应下文的具体例子，“interests and budget”对应上文的简单可实现。故选F项。 【4 题详解】 根据下文“Completing a course or mastering a hobby boosts confidence, proving you can overcome challenges. Unlike temporary jobs, the skills you develop — like critical thinking or communication — stay with you, creating lifelong stability. Additionally, investing in relationships strengthens your support network, offering joy and resilience during tough times. (完成一门课程或掌握一项爱好会增强自信，证明你可以克服挑战。与临时工作不同，你所培养的技能 —— 比如批判性思维或沟通能力 —— 会伴随你一生，为你创造终身的稳定。此外，投资人际关系会加强你的支持网络，在困难时期提供快乐和韧性。)”可知，此段主要讲了自我投资带来的好处。B选项“Watch small efforts blossom into lasting rewards. (看着小小的努力结出持久的回报。)中的“lasting rewards”对应下文自我投资带来的各种好处。故选B项。 【5 题详解】 根据上文 “Don’t wait for the “perfect moment.” If you’re on the fence about a new venture or opportunity that would enrich your life, don’t pass it up by continuously telling yourself that you’ll do it “someday.” (不要等待“完美时刻”。如果你对一个能丰富你生活的新冒险或机会犹豫不决，不要一直告诉自己“总有一天”会去做而错过它。)”可知，此处强调不要一直等待，要抓住机会。C选项“Tomorrow after tomorrow, yet tomorrow never arrives. (明日复明日，明日何其多。)”，进一步强调了不要总是拖延，不要一直等明天。故选C项。 （十一） （2025·江西·二模） Have you ever felt like time is slipping away too fast? 1 But is time really speeding up, or is it just how we perceive it? Psychologists explain that our sense of time is shaped by our experiences. When life falls into a repetitive routine, time appears to rush by. In contrast, when we engage in new and exciting activities, time seems to slow down. 2 Whether it’s traveling to unfamiliar places, exploring different neighborhoods, or picking up a new hobby, trying new things creates vivid and lasting impressions. Learning something new, such as a language, an instrument, or a skill, enriches our days and makes them feel more substantial. 3 Therefore, instead of rushing through the day, we should slow down and observe our surroundings. When we notice the changing seasons, listen to conversations, and appreciate small details, we become more aware of the present. Practicing mindfulness improves our memory and helps us feel more in control of time. 4 When we watch birds, feel the wind, or listen to waves, we become more present in the moment. Research suggests that involving ourselves in nature changes our perception of time. These experiences feel richer and more meaningful. When we spend time with loved ones, volunteer, or build relationships, the moments become deeply memorable. Emotional engagement increases our awareness, helping us create lasting memories and slowing the constant march of time. 5 So creating meaningful moments will create a sense of timelessness. A．Spending time in nature encourages mindfulness. B．Traveling is an excellent way of slowing down time. C．When we fully engage in a new activity, time stretches. D．The widespread feeling that time is speeding up can be stressful. E．Many people notice that the years seem to pass faster as they age. F．All in all, time itself does not change, but our experience of it does. G．This is because our brans measure time based on the richness of activities. 【答案】 1．E 2．G 3．C 4．A 5．F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们为何会感觉时间流逝得越来越快，并从心理学角度解释了这一现象。 【1 题详解】 上文“Have you ever felt like time is slipping away too fast? (你是否曾经觉得时间过得太快了？)”提出了一个问题，时间是否过得太快了，下文“But is time really speeding up, or is it just how we perceive it? (但时间真的在加速吗？还是这只是我们的感知？)”中的“speeding up”对应E选项中的“speeding up”，所以E选项“Many people notice that the years seem to pass faster as they age. (许多人注意到随着年龄的增长，岁月似乎过得更快了)”符合语境，既承接了上文提出的问题，又引出了下文对时间是否加速的讨论。故选E。 【2 题详解】 上文“Psychologists explain that our sense of time is shaped by our experiences. When life falls into a repetitive routine, time appears to rush by. In contrast, when we engage in new and exciting activities, time seems to slow down. (心理学家解释说，我们的时间感是由我们的经历塑造的。当生活陷入重复的例行公事时，时间似乎过得很快。相反，当我们参与新的和令人兴奋的活动时，时间似乎会变慢)”指出时间感是由我们的经历塑造的，当我们参与新的和令人兴奋的活动时，时间似乎会变慢，G选项“This is because our brans measure time based on the richness of activities. (这是因为我们的大脑根据活动的丰富程度来衡量时间)”解释了上文提到的时间似乎会变慢的原因，符合语境。故选G。 【3 题详解】 上文“Whether it’s traveling to unfamiliar places, exploring different neighborhoods, or picking up a new hobby, trying new things creates vivid and lasting impressions. Learning something new, such as a language, an instrument, or a skill, enriches our days and makes them feel more substantial.

It’s not just a matter of convenience or novelty anymore — fixation on screens has become our habit, a necessity, and even an addiction. 1 Constant engagement not only consumes our time, but also steal us something far more important: peace of mind. Silence is as critical to mental health as vitamins are to physical well-being. People are particular about what foods they put in their bodies: whether organic, vegetarian, or fat-free. 2 The mental junk we absorb daily can be arguably harmful than the occasional cheeseburger or donut. The never-ending flood of sensory input taxes the brain’s limited attention resources, leaving little room for deep thinking, reflecting, or creativity. 3 Quiet time helps the brain relax, sort through what it has taken in, and regain lost mental energy. As American artist Leonard Koren suggests in his book Wabi-Sabi, silence can be’ “an emptiness full of possibilities,” a space where creativity and clarity emerge. Adding moments of quiet to your daily routine doesn’t require dramatic changes. 4 Better yet, research shows that brief exposure to nature, like a walk in the woods, lowers stress levels, reduces blood pressure, and sharpens focus. These benefits occur because green spaces and natural soundscapes provide a much-needed break from today’s busy, stressful world. Digital life crowds out silence, making simply sitting in silence almost unthinkable — yet the very moments of stillness are what our minds really need. They let us listen to our thoughts, reflect on our experiences, and connect with ourselves in a way that is impossible in the noise of modern life. 5 A．But rarely do we ask ourselves: at what cost? B．So, shouldn’t we make laws requiring quiet time every day? C．It can be as simple as pausing 30 seconds to watch clouds. D．Next time you reach for your phone, resist the urge and sit in silence. E．We check our phone 58 times a day, 30%occurring during work hours. F．But they aren’t as picky about what they are exposed to through the senses. G．Just as our bodies need nutrition, our minds require silence to function well. 【答案】 1．A 2．F 3．G 4．C 5．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在当今数字化高度互联的世界中，人们被大量信息和社交媒体所淹没，对屏幕的沉迷已成为习惯甚至上瘾，而安静时间对心理健康至关重要，文章呼吁人们重视并增加日常生活中的安静时刻。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“It’s not just a matter of convenience or novelty anymore — fixation on screens has become our habit, a necessity, and even an addiction.” (这不再仅仅是方便或新奇的问题 —— 对屏幕的沉迷已经成为我们的习惯、一种必需品，甚至是一种成瘾行为)”说明人们对屏幕的沉迷情况，空处承接上文，进一步说明这种沉迷的具体表现。A选项“但我们很少问自己：这要付出什么代价呢？”符合语境，引出下文对沉迷屏幕代价的阐述。故选A。 【2 题详解】 上文“People are particular about what foods they put in their bodies: whether organic, vegetarian, or fat-free.

Choose the right type of earphones. In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels. 2 Besides, on-ear or over-ear headphones can be more comfortable for some individuals who have sensitive ear canals. 3 To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time. It’s suggested that you should use built-in features on your device to track your listening time, which can be helpful in sticking to a safe limit. Adjust the earphones properly. When fitting the earphones, adjust the earphone position until you find a comfortable and secure fit that provides good sound quality without causing pain. Remember to periodically check and readjust the earphones as needed, especially during physical activities or long listening periods. 4 Keep your ears clean. Regularly cleaning your ears is essential when it comes to pain-free listening with earphones. The build-up of earwax (耳垢) can not only affect the sound quality but also lead to discomfort and potential damage to the ear canal if left unattended. To prevent this, make sure to gently clean your ears with cotton sticks regularly. 5 That will push wax deeper and potentially cause damage. A．Limit listening time. B．Take regular listening breaks. C．Clean your earphones with a soft cloth regularly. D．Avoid putting the sticks too deep into the ear canal. E．Finding the right fit ensures a pain-free experience. F．This design prevents the earphones dropping out as well. G．Enjoyable as they are, improper use of earphones can cause discomfort. 【答案】 1．G 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了使用耳机时避免耳部问题的一些方法。 【1 题详解】 上文“In the age of constant connectivity through music, podcasts and calls, earphones have seemed to become a necessity.(在通过音乐、播客和通话保持持续连接的时代，耳机似乎已成为一种必需品)”说明耳机在当下很必要。空处和前文为转折关系。下文“This article will help you reduce the risk of ear-related issues and ensure a comfortable listening experience.(本文将帮助你降低耳部相关问题的风险，并确保舒适的聆听体验)”说明使用耳机存在问题。所以G项“尽管它们很令人愉悦，但不当使用耳机会导致不适。”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用，引出下文关于如何正确使用耳机的内容。故选G。 【2 题详解】 上文“In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels.(入耳式耳机是一个受欢迎的选择，因为它们能完美地贴合耳道，阻挡外界噪音，并减少调高音量的需求)”说明入耳式耳机的优点。空处和前文为并列关系，进一步说明入耳式耳机的优点。所以F项“这种设计也能防止耳机掉落。”符合语境，继续阐述了入耳式耳机设计上的好处。故选 F。 【3 题详解】 下文“To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time.

The “algia” bit means “pain”, and the word was coined by a 17th-century doctor treating homesick soldiers, whose symptoms included hallucinations (幻觉) and depression. 1 And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again. As evidence, a recent report highlighted the increase in old songs being streamed on Spotify during lockdown. It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times. 2 That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards. In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19. 3 *To reawaken happy feelings, use all your senses not just sight. Smell, taste, touch and sound will also help you to recreate the past in rich clarity. If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep using it! 4 *When you’re procrastinating(拖延), visualize an end result. Flash forward to see the floor swept or the essay finished, and use that positive image to make you swing into action. *Ahead of major challenges, imagine the full impact of success. Don’t just picture yourself getting that great job: fill your mind with the really big ways it’s going to change your life. 5 But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now. A．The usefulness of nostalgia seems to vary with age. B．Today we have a much more positive attitude to nostalgia. C．Here are my tips for becoming a confident time traveller yourself. D．The following tricks help connect with your past and future selves. E．You’ll get faster at finding it, and add extra layers of detail each time. F．But there’s also a growing body of research into time travel “the other way”. G．There’ll still be times when old thoughts cause sadness, or you’re anxious about what’s next. 【答案】 1．B 2．F 3．C 4．E 5．G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过回忆过去和想象未来来更好地控制自己的记忆，从而塑造更好的自己。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“The term “NOSTALGIA” (怀旧) used to describe a mental disease.(“怀旧”这个词过去被用来描述一种精神疾病)”和下文“And it’s a great example of the benefits of a strong memory — choosing to recapture moments from the past to enjoy them all over again.(这是强大记忆力的一个很好的例子——选择重温过去的时刻，再次享受它们)”可知，上下文讲述了人们对怀旧的不同看法，B项“今天，我们对怀旧的态度要积极得多”起到了承上启下的作用，既提到了怀旧，又与后文对怀旧的积极看法相呼应，符合语境。故选B。 【2 题详解】 上文“It seems that we found strength in musical memories of happier times.(我们似乎从更快乐时光的音乐记忆中找到了力量)”讲述回忆音乐的好处，下文“That’s because memory skills can take you into the future, too — bringing a whole new set of rewards.(这是因为记忆技巧也能带你进入未来——带来全新的回报)”提到记忆技巧能带你进入未来，由此推知，空处内容应引起下文关于记忆技巧的讨论，F项“但也有越来越多的研究是关于“另一种方式”的时间旅行的”符合语境。故选F。 【3 题详解】 此空在段尾，且是这一段的总结句。本段开头提到“In another pandemic experiment, people wrote letters to their future selves, and found that they improved their mood by imagining themselves safely on the other side of COVID-19.(在另一项大流行病实验中，人们给未来的自己写信，发现他们通过想象自己在COVID-19的另一边安然无恙来改善自己的情绪)”，后面又列举了三个建议，由此可知，此段主要讲述了如何成为自信的时间旅行者，C项 “以下是我自己成为自信时间旅行者的建议”，这个选项总结了这一段的内容，符合语境。故选C。 【4 题详解】 根据上文“If you find a memory that’s particularly helpful — for reassurance, say — keep using it!(如果你发现一段特别有帮助的记忆——比如为了安慰自己——那就继续使用它！)”和下文介绍了另外几个建议可知，上文在建议继续使用有用的记忆，E项“你会更快地找到它，并且每次都会增加额外的细节”进一步解释了继续使用有用记忆的好处，符合语境。故选E。 【5 题详解】 根据下文“But the more you learn to control your memory, the better you’ll be at mining your past, and shaping your future, to be your best self now.(但你越学会控制自己的记忆，你就越善于挖掘自己的过去，塑造自己的未来，成为现在最好的自己)”中“but”可知，空处与下文形成转折关系，且下文提到“挖掘过去，塑造未来”，由此可知，空处应讲述过去的记忆和未来的不确定性带来的负面情绪，G项“仍然会有一些时候，旧的想法会引起悲伤，或者你会对接下来发生的事情感到焦虑”与下文形成了转折关系，符合语境。故选G。 （十六） （2025·浙江衢州·二模） Ugh! You swear you had your keys a second ago, and now they’ re just gone! Before you panic, take a deep breath. 1 .

In this article, we’ll teach you where you can look and how you can retrace your steps to find lost objects. Identify what makes your missing object stand out in its environment. It might be its size, color, texture or shape. 2 It will make the process faster and more efficient. Instead of looking at everything in a space, this approach helps you focus your attention only on objects with that distinction. Look in places where you’ve lost this item before. Do you tend to lose your keys or student cards often? If so, it may have ended up in a similar place as before. Think about where your common lost objects tend to be lost. For example, maybe you have a habit of leaving your keys in the lock or your bag in the car. 3 Try looking at the room from a new angle. If you’ve retraced your steps, gone through all the motions, and still haven’t found anything, change your perspective. Crawl instead of walking down the hall. 4 Seeing things from a different point of view can help you notice details you may have missed before. 5 Scattered and crowded areas make it easier to lose objects, as things can fall under other things or get buried beneath piles. Regularly clean and tidy up living spaces, so you won’t have to spend more time looking for things later on. A．Or sit where you were standing. B．Then search based on that unique feature. C．Look in the messiest areas of your living space. D．Everyone misplaces things every now and again. E．Check these places before extending your search.

You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals — an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young. 1 While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programs later by human “Foley artists (拟音师)”. 2 Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they generally can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals. 3 There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location. In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can’t capture clearly. “Foley artists” will use a variety of tools to simulate the sounds made by animals. And most of them will create the close-up sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths. These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they’re paired with. 4 Animal cries — which are far too complex to be simulated — will have to be taken from library recordings. Watching “Foley artists” at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done. Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further. How it is portrayed in documentaries may also impact conservation efforts. 5 A．But this isn’t quite the case. B．There are some exceptions, though. C．The Foley process involves a large team. D．Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews. E．Sounds guide our emotional interpretation of the things we see. F．This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking. G．Sounds have the ability to shape our understanding of a given species. 【答案】 1．A 2．D 3．F 4．B 5．G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕野生动物纪录片中声音制作的真相展开，解释了为何纪录片中许多声音是后期由拟音师添加的，介绍拟音师的工作方式，还阐述了声音呈现对物种保护的影响，旨在向读者普及相关科学知识 。 【1 题详解】 由上文“You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals— an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young.(你可能会认为这些节目提供了这些动物完全真实的描绘 —— 一个客观的窗口，让人们了解它们在捕猎、休息和养育幼崽时的生活。)”可知，上文提到人们认为这些节目很真实，空格处需要一个转折来引出下文实际情况并非如此的内容，而A项But this isn’t quite the case.(但事实并非如此。)符合此处语境，形成转折，有承上启下作用。故选A项。 【2 题详解】 由下文“Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they generally can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals.(通常，纪录片制作人可以从很远的地方拍摄他们的拍摄对象，但如果不打扰动物，他们通常无法离得足够近以捕捉到清晰的声音。)”可知，这里在解释纪录片拍摄时声音获取存在困难的原因，结合前文提到很多声音是后期添加的，可推测此空要引出拍摄声音存在困难这一话题，D项Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews.(野生动物纪录片也往往需要大量的工作人员。)符合语境 ，下文进一步解释因为工作人员多，所以在拍摄现场录音会有背景噪音等问题，该项有引出下文的作用。故选D项。 【3 题详解】 由上文“Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they generally can’t get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals.(通常，纪录片制作人可以从很远的地方拍摄他们的拍摄对象，但如果不打扰动物，他们通常无法离得足够近以捕捉到清晰的声音。)”以及下文“There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location.(如果在现场录制声音，可能会有背景噪音，比如工作人员聊天或四处走动的声音。)”可知，上文说了离远了声音不清楚，下文说了现场录音有背景噪音，都是在说现代野生动物拍摄中声音获取存在问题，F项This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking.(这是现代野生动物拍摄不可避免的结果。)中的This指代上文提到的拍摄声音存在的问题，该项起到总结上文的作用。故选F项。 【4 题详解】 由上文“These sounds are created as the artist watches the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they’re paired with.(这些声音是艺术家在观看视频时创作的，以确保它们与所搭配的动作完美匹配。)”以及下文“Animal cries — which are far too complex to be simulated — will have to be taken from library recordings.(动物的叫声 —— 太复杂了，无法模拟 —— 将不得不从音频库记录中获取。)”可知，上文说的是大部分声音的模拟情况，下文说的是动物叫声这种特殊情况不能模拟，B项There are some exceptions, though.(不过，也有一些例外。) 能很好地引出下文这种特殊情况，起到承上启下的作用。故选B项。 【5 题详解】 由上文“How it is portrayed in documentaries may also impact conservation efforts.(它在纪录片中的呈现方式也可能会影响保护工作。)”可知，这里在说纪录片的呈现方式对保护工作有影响，而声音是纪录片呈现的一部分，结合前文对声音作用的描述，G项Sounds have the ability to shape our understanding of a given species.(声音有能力塑造我们对某一特定物种的理解。)说明声音能影响我们对物种的理解，进而影响保护工作，符合此处语境，对上文进行了进一步的解释说明。故选G项。 （十八） （2025·河北石家庄·二模） Procrastination is delaying tasks, even when we know we shouldn’t.

(需要洗碗吗？现在就做。需要铺床吗？现在就做。)”举了洗碗和整理床铺的例子，选项G“This method helps stop small tasks from building up(这种方法有助于防止小任务堆积起来)”中This method指代“2分钟规则”，阐述了该规则能带来的好处，即有助于防止小任务堆积起来，与前文内容紧密相关。故选G。 【3 题详解】 段落主题是“Find an accountability partner(找到一个监督伙伴)”，选项A“That’s not wrong(这没有错)”在这里承接上文 “Sometimes, we might need help from other people.(有时候，我们可能需要别人的帮助。)”，表示承认并肯定这种需要他人帮助的情况，引出下文如何在他人帮助下克服拖延症的具体做法。故选A。 【4 题详解】 该段讲的是“Celebrate small achievements(庆祝小成就)”。选项 F“But make sure you reward yourself for them(但一定要为此奖励自己)”中them指代前文的 small achievements，reward yourself和celebrating意思相近，本句与前文“Your achievements might be small.(你的成就可能很小。)”形成转折，强调尽管成就小，但也要奖励自己，这种奖励能够帮助人们继续前进，避免拖延，符合段落主旨。故选F。 【5 题详解】 根据下文“Break big tasks into smaller ones. This helps you set goals you can achieve. Tackle one small task at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed (不知所措) by big projects.(把大任务分成小任务。这有助于你设定可以实现的目标。一次处理一个小任务，避免被大项目压垮。)”可知，本段主要讲把大任务分解成小任务，这样能帮助设定可实现的目标。C选项“Simplify the task at hand(简化手头的任务)”照应下文“Break big tasks into smaller ones.( 把大任务分成小任务。)”，简化任务的做法就是把大任务分解成小任务，作为段落小标题非常合适。故选C。 （十九） （2025·浙江宁波·二模） The path to healthy weight combines two key elements. Exercise and eating habits form its foundation. Some believe they demand lots of effort or planning. But that’s not true. In fact, the best way to work them into our lives is by making small changes that gradually become part of our routine. 1 Regular Exercise Teens should get 60+ minutes of daily physical activity. 2 All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity, including dancing, brisk walking, or stair-climbing. Breaking works into 15-minute “exercise snacks” (e. g., morning yoga, lunchtime walks) throughout the day makes goals more achievable. This strategy avoids burnout while keeping energy steady. Good Eating Habits 3 Actually, crash diets cause weight rebounds. A 2022 study found 80% of teens regained weight post-diet. Therefore, teens should eat a variety of foods, and there’s nothing wrong with the occasional treat. A candy bar somehow beats snapping daily. To build lasting habits, reshape your mindset. 4 When stressed, try brief walks rather than reaching for snacks. Track weekly progress with a checklist—small achievements boost motivation strongly. In conclusion, creatively design routines blending exercise and nutrition in your own way. 5 While others choose gym workouts, you might prefer playing Frisbee with your dog. Knowing what’s right for you will make it a lot easier to do! A．You’re all different after all. B．Independence matters in habit-building. C．View food as fuel, not emotional comfort. D．Low-calorie diets ensure steady weight loss. E．Eating well doesn’t mean dieting over and over. F．It doesn’t mean doing tough exercises or hitting the gym.

It involves collecting plant specimens, pressing them and labeling them. 1 Just keep an eye out wherever you go and look for your eye-catching plants. Labeling them is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to show you how to press the specimens. Construct a homemade plant press. 2 Then cover it with a piece of corrugated (起皱的) card, followed by 2 sheets of absorbent paper. This will serve as the bottom half of your press. Have a second board and more cards and absorbent paper on standby for when you’re ready to put the top half. Arrange your specimens on the bottom half of your press. Lay out each cutting which you’ve cleaned beforehand in such a way that it looks as attractive as possible. 3 If possible, stretch smaller specimens out to their full length so that they dry perfectly flat. Leave 1-2 inches of space between each specimen to keep them from sticking together. 4 Once you’re satisfied with the layout of your plants, sandwich them with another layer of absorbent paper, corrugated card, and hardboard. Pile bricks, large books, or similar items evenly across the upper board to weigh it down and press the cuttings flat. Continue drying and pressing your specimens. 5 Depending on the size and type of the plants you’re preserving, it may take them anywhere from a couple of days to 3 full weeks to dry completely. A．Collecting plant specimens is very simple. B．Describe any outstanding features you notice. C．Start by selecting the materials you may need. D．Place one hardboard flat against a level surface. E．The duration of this process varies considerably. F．Close the press and set heavy objects on top to create pressure. G．Meanwhile, ensure each of its main features can be seen clearly. 【答案】 1．A 2．D 3．G 4．F 5．E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何制作植物标本。 【1 题详解】 根据上文“Creating your own plant specimens (标本) is a fun, simple project that anyone can do at home.
