Students today are too stressed about their grades to enjoy their childhood. Yet, colleges often want more than just good grades. 7 After school, students are sent to soccer practice or ballet. The more they ran around to different activities, the less time they have to themselves. 8 Students who suffer from learning problems get extra help at school through tutors and extra classes. However, these students quickly become too anxious about their schoolwork to do well. This is because they still go to regular classes. In those classes, they have to keep asking for help. The more the students need to ask for help, the less confidence they have in themselves at school. Finally, stress at home causes burnout. 9 Or their parents may work a lot, so the students must help clean the home. They might also have a part-time job and are working too much to study well. The more they work outside of school, the less time they have to focus on grades. Overscheduling, learning problems, and stress at home are harmful and can cause student burnout. 10 Make sure they are not overscheduled. Talk to teachers about their learning problems. And don’t let them work too many hours outside of school. A. What causes student burnout? B. Parents can help their children. C. Students are benefiting from it. D.

For example, at the beginning of the term, a student might sit down with a teacher and produce a list of topics which he or she should be familiar with by the end of the term. Learning logs can also be used to record out-of-class experiences. 18 Teachers may regularly check a student’s learning log to see areas where the student may need improvement. For example, a student struggling in a science class might not be frank about the issue. 19 Recording this issue would allow the teacher to customize a response to the student to help him or her improve. 20 Some learning logs include the recording of homework lists, which parents can use to monitor(监督) their children and make sure that they’re doing all of their homework.

Over-independence is the belief that you are the only person you can depend on. 1 For example, you have depended on someone in the past and been let down, so, as a result, you have a “if you want something done, you have to do it yourself” mind. 2 One day, I had just come back from a funeral(葬礼) when a friend called me to see how I was. Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry. Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right. 3 What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in. 4 But living a life where you don't give anyone a chance to be there for you is extremely lonely, and not the solution. Humans are sociable creatures. With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone. 5 When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love. The more you give them a roadmap on how to help you, the more they can. So feel free to ask someone for support, and it is so worth it. A. I felt the opposite. B. I used to be the same. C.

Pick up an activity you typically enjoy but haven’t done in the past six months. This could be, for example, visiting a park you used to like to walk around, or tending a plant you’ve previously grown. Rewrite a story. We all have stories that get us down. For instance, “I should’ve done X better,” or “X was my fault.” Often, we have replayed the story so many times that we begin to see the story as fact. 7 Come up with other explanations for the causes or results of what has happened. Take a highly creative approach to a task. For example, my kid is currently learning about the 50 states. 8 A more creative way might be to ask individuals which state they grew up in and engage in a conversation about that. Solve a problem in a much simpler way. 9 It can pull down your mood and energy. It’s necessary to identify a much simpler way to solve a problem that’s populating your to-do list. For example: give something away rather than cleaning or storing it. Throw out a “must” thought. It can be a huge mental relief. You can even do this physically.

Rediscover a forgotten pleasure. D. A common way to do this is a postcard exchange. E. Having hanging items on your to-do list can feel weighty. F.

Once the worst has happened, your should clean it. It is important to clean it thoroughly after making sure it’s powered off.

Passage 6 (23-24高一下·河南南阳·期末)We’ve all set our alarms so we have just enough time to go through our morning routine(惯例) and hurry out the door. 26 . While the following tips are just from my own personal experience, I hope that some of them will help you find satisfaction when it’s difficult to pull yourself out of bed. ◎Wake up early Jumping straight into a class isn’t my best way to wake up. Setting my alarm for 7 AM has given me time to relax in the morning before moving to the less enjoyable tasks I need to finish. Waking up early has also helped me adjust my nighttime routine. 27 . ◎Stay off social media In my own experience, starting my morning by looking through posts and short videos makes me more likely to use social media throughout the day. Spend a few hours off social media before you check any updates. 28 . And you had better only log(登录) on once or twice a day. ◎ 29 The best part about waking up early is the guiltless period of peace you have before the rush of afternoon work or study. While some like to sit outside and listen to music, taking in some vitamin D, others choose to meditate (冥想) or journal. Whatever way you choose to relax, find something enjoyable and try to make it part of your routine. ◎Don’t push yourself beyond your limits Some days you will wake up, make coffee, go for a run and prepare a meal. Other mornings you may struggle to get out of bed. 30 . When you fail to follow this perfect morning routine, don’t beat yourself up. The key to having a “good” start to your day is accepting your energy levels without judgment and trying your best to finish the day’s tasks. A. Get ready for the day B. Both of them are okay C. Calm your mind with a relaxing activity D. Better yet, try to set a screen time limit E. As a result, I can produce better work F. Exercise really should be involved in your daily routine G. However, to better start a day, only moving quickly isn’t enough Passage 7 (23-24高一下·湖南张家界·期末) How to pack the materials for camping Everyone needs a break from everyday life. Camping can be a great way to get outdoors and surround yourself with nature. 31 Bring a tent. 32 It should also be light and easy for transport. If it’s supposed to rain at all while you’re camping, make sure your tent has a rain cover so you don’t get wet while you’re sleeping. Some campsites or outdoor stores may offer tent rentals if you don’t have a tent you can use. Choose a sleeping bag. Sleeping bags have different ratings to determine the temperature at which they can keep you warm and comfortable. Check the weather at the campgrounds and determine what the lowest temperatures are so you know which sleeping bag to bring along. 33 But if you’re camping in cooler months, you may need something thicker. 34 Many times, a campfire is your only heat source while you’re camping, so some foods may not cook as easily as others. Look for foods that you can cook, such as hot dogs, vegetables and meats, since they’re the easiest to hold over an open fire. Pack a basic survival kit. 35 It includes items like pocket knives, flashlights, first aid supplies and multipurpose tools, so you can stay safe while you’re camping.

However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian. 36 Tap on it (not with your hand). If a durian is ripe, it should “sound like hitting a drum”, as the fruit is more hollow with gaps of air inside the fruit. 37 The seeds are sure to have loosened up when we shake a ripen durian. A darker stem means that the durian has been harvested much earlier, so, obviously, it isn’t suitable for us to choose. 38 A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious! If the durian has bulging(鼓起的) sides, it is often an indication that the seeds are fleshy. If the sides are concave, it is likely the chamber is empty. Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat. 39 It’s commonly acknowledged that larger and rounder fruits will always be drawn attention to, but as for durians, bigger is not necessarily better. 40 It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious. You won’t miss a tasty durian for your careful choice. A. Purchasing a durian, listen out for tapping sounds. B. Next time you buy a durian, do remember to choose a bigger one. C.

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. 41 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. 42 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. 43 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. 44 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.

( 地 城 高频话题 03 文学 / 艺术 / 体育 ) Passage 1 (23-24高一下·河北邢台·期末)In today's fast-paced world, music has become an important part of our lives. Music training not only provides people with the ability to appreciate and create music, but it also offers many benefits that extend beyond the area of melody(旋律). 1 . Improving cognitive(认知的) abilities Music training has been proven to improve cognitive abilities in various ways. Learning to play an instrument involves reading sheet music and memorizing melodies. 2 . Researchers have also found that music training can boost some skills, which are crucial for mathematics and engineering. Expressing emotions 3 . It allows people to express their emotions and connect with others. Music training provides a platform for self-expression, enabling individuals to channel their thoughts and emotions creatively. Learning to play an instrument or sing can be a cathartic(宣泄感情的) experience, providing an emotional outlet that words alone cannot achieve. 4 Learning music requires long-time practice, which needs a lot of attention and effort. Music training teaches individuals the value of hard work, determination and devotion. Through consistent practice, people have the ability to focus for a long time, a skill that goes beyond music and can be applied to academic and professional pursuits. Learning social skills Participating in music training often involves group activities such as ensemble(乐团) performances or band practices. Working together with fellow musicians fosters teamwork, communication and cooperation. It encourages people to actively listen and respond and helps them master social skills. 5 . A. Music is a global language B. Making individuals energetic C. Developing patience and focus D. Such activities improve memory and attention E. The benefits of listening to music are unlimited F. As you know, they are valuable in all areas of life G. It is a meaningful experience that promotes personal growth Passage 2 (23-24高一下·江苏常州·期末)Around 1830, the Romantic period slowly arose from the delicate form of the Classical period, expanding orchestral(管弦乐的) forces to express emotions and extra-musical ideas they had never expressed before. How was this possible? 6 Romantic Period Sound If you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase(乐节), think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8. 7 It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period. Romantic Instruments As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles. 8 Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker. Romantic Pieces Despite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring(变戏法般的) life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824. 9 It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice. 10 They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics(批判者) who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period. A. Beethoven is the originator of the Romantic period. B. Learn more and listen to the best pieces with our guide. C. The period also saw the development of the tone poem. D. When it comes to the Romantic period, the bigger, the better. E. To make a conclusion, they had more free time to write music. F. If you thought the piece would end in the key it started in, think again. G. To summarize, romantic period composers used ever-increasing subject matter in their works. Passage 3 (23-24高一下·江苏连云港·期末) Get lost in music Have you noticed how cheerful songs can give you energy, while calm tunes can help you relax? 11 And getting lost in it can help you enjoy the magic of music even more. What is “getting lost in music”? This means concentrating on the music so hard that you shut out your other thoughts for a short time. 12 However, experts say if you try out different styles of music and listen closely to things like rhythm, you increase its benefits and let it change how you are feeling in that moment. How is it good for you? 13 Scientists say this is because it produces chemicals in the brain that make you feel closer to others. If you’ve studied for a test by singing your times tables, you’ll know how music can improve your memory. Research shows that listening to calm tunes reduces stress and even helps people feel less pain. 14 And there could even be benefits that haven’t been discovered yet. How can you get lost in music? Start by listening to types of music you haven’t tried before. Listen and notice whether the pattern of beats stays the same or surprises you. 15 Use your senses to understand what the musician is trying to tell you. Is it hard like metal or does it taste like melted(融化的) chocolate? By listening carefully you can get the most from music. A. Music really shapes people’s moods. B. In fact, music lights up nearly every part of the brain. C. Listening while moving connects you closely to the sound. D. Music from Cuba or Brazil, such as samba, is good for trying this. E. If you want to increase your efficiency, you should listen to some music. F. Music is a language that everyone understands and brings humans together. G. People often play tunes while they are doing something else like reading a book. Passage 4 (23-24高一下·浙江丽水·期末)Even though it’s never been easier to see the latest movies at home, there’s still nothing quite like watching a film in the dark of the cinema on the biggest screen possible. 16 There are a number of ways you can bring the cost down to make it more affordable, whether it’s an occasional treat or regular activity. Avoid high-priced tickets The most expensive tickets are going to be on peak times, which will usually run from Friday night until Sunday evening. But if you have the flexibility to go midweek or in the daytime you’ll hopefully find lower prices. 17 It’ll depend on which cinema you have near you. Consider a membership Some cinema memberships also offer free tickets and then discounts on future visits, so they’re worth looking at if you know you’ll make the money back. But if you are going at least twice a month then the all-you-can-watch memberships can be fantastic value. However, one disadvantage is that if you want to see a film at a different chain you’ll be paying again. 18 Use discounted gift cards 19 Or you can use cashback apps like Jam Doughnut and Hyper Jar to buy the gift cards and get a percentage back. What’s good about these is that they stack with other offers, such as Meerkat Movies and silver screenings, so you save twice. 20 Finally, armed with your cheap cinema tickets, don’t ruin all your good work by buying the popcorn at the cinema. The price is always high. But it can be easily avoided by hitting a supermarket beforehand to buy much cheaper treats. You don’t need to secretly take them in because all the big cinemas allow you to do this. A. Bring your own snacks. B. Treat yourself with the popcorn. C. Ticket cost shouldn’t be a problem. D. There are deals running that offer cut-price tickets. E. Do check the normal selling price for your local cinema. F. You can also save by buying cinema gift cards when they’re on sale. G. There might also be certain days at some cinemas where all tickets are reduced further. Passage 5 (23-24高一下·安徽蚌埠·期末)Running with a group has lots of benefits, especially when running long distances. But group running also requires that you follow some basic etiquette(礼仪) and behavior rules. Here’s advice on running etiquette for group running. Leave your headphones at home. Sure, music helps push some runners along. However, it’s antisocial to wear headphones during a group run. It can also be dangerous because listening to music means you’ll be less aware of your surroundings. 21 Don’t jingle(发出叮当声) . 22 But you can bet that it will annoy at least one person in your group. You don’t want to become known as “The Annoying Loose Change Guy”. Be prepared with what you need. 23 Carry your own water and food, as well as some cash or a credit card, just in case you need it. Don’t run without considering the safety of others. Not only is it rude to take over a path and block other runners, walkers, or cyclists, but it can be a possible safety risk. To make other runners and cyclists easily pass, make sure you’re running no more than two abreast(并排), especially on busy roads, sidewalks, or paths. 24 For example, run in a clockwise direction on a circular route. 25 Runners join groups for the social element, but that doesn’t mean they want to hear the same person talk non-stop about their running achievements, injuries, or life problems during every run. Ask people, especially the new members of the group, questions to give them a chance to speak. A. Be silent sometimes. B. Give advice to others. C. You can’t know some group members very well. D. Don’t expect to rely on other runners for supplies. E. Running with coins or keys in your pocket may not bother you. F. Be aware of any special rules for running in parks or on paths. G. Besides, you won’t be able to hear instructions from other runners in your group. Passage 6 (23-24高一下·安徽宣城·期末) Walk of Life Putting one foot in front of another is simple, convenient and great for body and mind. 26 ◆Make it a habit Set a goal of 30 minutes five days a week. If you walk quickly, this will give you your recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, bringing you better fitness and the mental health benefits of beingoutdoors. 27 ◆Warm up and down Start every walk with five minutes at an easy pace to get your body warmed up and do the same thing again at the end. This allows your heart rate to speed up and slow down gradually. ◆Walk and talk Stepping out regularly with a partner, friend or family member is much more fun than going it alone. 28 Or make that long catch-up call when you’re out and about. ◆ 29 To keep your walk interesting, increase your pace every ten to 15 minutes and do a three-minute surge. Imagine you’ re trying to catch up with someone ahead. Climb up a hill from time to time for a challenge. To burn fat, do some bursts of fast walking early on in your walk. ◆Climb the stairs instead 30 Fancy a change? You’ll get the same heart health benefits walking up and down stairs for two minutes five times a day as you would get from a longer time spent tramping on a level surface. A. Vary the pace. B. Divide your walks. C. You may be worried about raining. D. But how do you make the most of every step? E. It will also inspire you when you’ re not feeling eager. F. Keep your head straight with eyes forward and shoulders relaxed. G. Start your day with a walk and you’ll be making sure you find the time to exercise. Passage 7 (23-24高一下·福建福州·期末)Have you ever wondered why it feels so satisfying to sing in the shower? You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist(潮湿的), making your throat feel comfortable. 31 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance(共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 32 While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 33 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game. 34 To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 35 A. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. B. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. C. I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am. D. You are standing up straight. E. You are annoyedly clearing your throat. F. Poor training may lead to poor results. G. After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent. Passage 8 (23-24高一下·江西抚州·期末) How to make exercise a habit that sticks There’s a reason why so many New Year’s resolutions to get in shape crash and burn before February rolls around. And it’s not that you simply don’t have what it takes. 36 Follow these steps to make exercise one of them. Remove obstacles. 37 Do you tend to run out of time in the morning? Get your workout clothes out the night before so you’re ready to go as soon as you get up. Do you skip your evening workout if you go home first? Keep a gym bag in the car, so you can head out straight from work. Start small and build motivation. A goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week may sound good. But how likely are you to follow through? The more ambitious your goal is, the more likely you are to fail, feel bad about it and give up. 38 39 People who exercise regularly tend to do so because of the rewards it brings to their lives, such as more energy, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being. When you’re starting an exercise program, it’s important to give yourself immediate rewards when you successfully complete a workout or reach a new fitness goal. Choose activities that make you feel happy and confident. 40 Don’t choose activities like running or lifting weights at the gym just because you think that’s what you should do. Instead, pick activities that fit your lifestyle, abilities, and taste. A. Reward yourself. B. Set yourself up for success. C. However, these tend to be long-term rewards. D. Plan ahead for anything that might get in the way of exercising. E. Science shows us that there’s a right way to build habits that last. F. So, it’s better to start with easy exercise goals you know you can achieve G. If your workout is unpleasant or makes you feel clumsy, you’re unlikely to stick with it. Passage 9 (23-24高一下·山东枣庄·期末)Every culture has its own music. 41 All types of music have one thing in common: it brings people together. There are many festivals held in various communities. 42 Without music, a celebration will be effectively incomplete. Music allows us to dance and be completely ourselves in front of our peers. When music is playing and people are dancing, you feel a sense of belonging to your culture. Music is always present in our lives. It can be a huge part of our life no matter where we live or how old we are. Our parents play us music or sing to us when we are young. People schedule a time to relax and listen to their favorite music. 43 44 There’s a reason why parents sing to their babies before they’re born. They will be able to learn a language by listening to music. The alphabet, taught through a song, is one of the most important skills you learned as a child. To be sure, learning a language through song is easier than trying to memorize a sentence in a completely different language. Music also assists us in discovering our identities. 45 As they grow older, they begin to have our own musical tastes. That is often their first act of defiance(挑战) against their parents. They figure out who they want to be, and music can play an important role in this process. A. Music is extremely personal. B. Most of them include music. C. Children like to listen to pop music. D. It exists in every corner of the globe. E. Music is critical in helping you learn a language. F. It affects them and brings them closer to others. G. Children attempt to imitate their parents for a long time. Passage 10 (23-24高一下·湖南株洲·期末)Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E—you have probably watched all these films. 46 Let’s go through the process of creating a cartoon film. Creating the storyboard The first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. 47 Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the design sets. Making characters using 3D modelling A special computer program is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this is called modelling. The decorations of the sets and props are created using a software. Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. 48 With the aid of the software programme, the 3D shape is recreated. Creating the movements The layout crew(摄影构图组) decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton’s(骨架) movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames(帧) in the story. 49 Dressing up for the show 50 The skin and hair for the characters. their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created. Letting the show begin Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth! The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5-6 hours to create—imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film! A. From that, storyboards are drawn. B. All these films have cost a large amount of money. C. The sets and props are “decorated” according to the designs. D. Some of these creations are simple but some are complex. E. This information is then sent to a software programme. F. CGI is often applied in film-making to make special effects. G. Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made? ( 地 城 高频话题 04 历史社会文化 ) Passage 1 (23-24高一下·河北邯郸·期末) The Reasons for Student Burnout Student burnout can show itself in many ways, from being tired all the time to not feeling like doing anything. 1 Overscheduling can lead to burnout. Students today are too stressed about their grades to enjoy their childhood. Yet, colleges often want more than just good grades. 2 After school, students are sent to soccer practice or ballet. The more they ran around to different activities, the less time they have to themselves. 3 Students who suffer from learning problems get extra help at school through tutors and extra classes. However, these students quickly become too anxious about their schoolwork to do well. This is because they still go to regular classes. In those classes, they have to keep asking for help. The more the students need to ask for help, the less confidence they have in themselves at school. Finally, stress at home causes burnout. 4 Or their parents may work a lot, so the students must help clean the home. They might also have a part-time job and are working too much to study well. The more they work outside of school, the less time they have to focus on grades. Overscheduling, learning problems, and stress at home are harmful and can cause student burnout. 5 Make sure they are not overscheduled. Talk to teachers about their learning problems. And don’t let them work too many hours outside of school. A. What causes student burnout? B. Parents can help their children. C. Students are benefiting from it. D. Learning problems can also cause student burnout. E. Many students come from families that are under stress. F. They also want to see students who do volunteer work and play sports. G. Too much workout can also result in learning problems among students. Passage 2 (23-24高一下·江苏泰州·期末) Social Media Tells Lies Social media does have its shortcomings, and one of those is that it can often seem like everybody is living and winning big — except you. You are constantly bombarded(轰炸) with images of people you don’t even know. 6 However, the reality is that these people also go through struggles. Nobody’s life is perfect all the time. Everyone experiences life’s hardships, failures, disappointment, heartbreaks and pain. Social media only shows half of what is real. Things aren’t always what they appear to be. 7 But they often exist in the real-life messy moments — those ones that don’t get shot or documented. As you interact with people through the tiny screen of your mobile phone, try to take a closer look before you make up your mind that they are better than you. Everyone has their battles. Don’t get caught up in the lives of other people, and don’t count their blessings. 8 Don’t let social media fool you. 9 In reality, there are people with only 10 likes who have plenty of friends, and people with 1000 likes who are rather lonely, and have no real friends. Someone could have a million views on their videos and still live in poverty. 10 It takes hard work, really hard work. The real winners in life are those who work behind the scenes but make the most happen, not the ones who show off their lifestyle to impress others. A. These images are not always telling the truth. B. Yes, perfect moments on social media do exist. C. They are the ones that deserve your admiration. D. Being popular on social media is not everything. E. Success is not what is described on social media. F. They describe a perfect life you wish to have very much. G. You will lose sight of your own happiness if you do that. Passage 3 (23-24高一下·浙江宁波·期末)π (Pi) Day falls on March 14. This is the day when mathematicians and geometry(几何学) lovers around the world get together and celebrate the mathematical constant(常数) of Pi. 11 Firstly, the date which can be represented numerically in the format 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of π. Besides, one of our greatest physicists Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1897. In 2018, the famous physicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day. The earliest known celebration of Pi Day was organized by the physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, featuring eating different kinds of fruit pies. 12 The museum staff marched around a circular room, sang songs, and ate pie. News stories about the celebration spread the idea to schools, museums, and communities. In 2009, US House of Representatives officially named this special day — “Pi Day”. Many people celebrate Pi Day with family and friends. 13 People make pizzas (round ones, of course) and bake cream pies. Some people even use a special pie pan shaped like the Greek letter π. They are also willing to drink pi-neapple juice. 14 Over thousands of years, people tried to unfold the puzzle behind this magic number. Before the appearance of modern computing technologies, mathematicians all over the world have made their efforts on calculating the approximation of Pi. 15 While Indian mathematician Aryabhata approximated Pi to √￣9.8624 using the circumference of a polygon(多边形) with 384 sides. On 2019’s Pi Day, Google announced that the calculation of Pi has already reached 31.4 trillion decimal(小数的) places. A. The most popular way is by eating pi-themed foods. B. March 14 seems to be tightly connected with Science. C. It was because “Pi” and “pie” sounded same in English. D. The world record for memorizing pi is held by Chao Lu from China. E. Chinese ancient mathematician Zu Chongzhi extended Pi to 7 decimal places. F. Another celebration is to recite this amazing number with countless decimal places. G. Pic an also be used to calculate the volume of something shaped like a ball or a tube. Passage 4 (23-24高一下·安徽亳州·期末)Schools are where most bullying takes place. 16 Studies indicate that bullying peaks around ages 11 to 13 and decreases as children grow older. Obvious physical attack such as kicking, hitting, and shoving is most common among younger children while mental abuses such as spreading rumors, and social exclusion(排斥) is more common as children mature. People bully because it can be an effective way of getting what they want, at least in the short term. 17 Studies of children show that victims easily give in, handing over bikes, toys, and other playthings. They cry but don’t stand up for themselves; their highly visible displays of pain and suffering are rewarding to bullies and serve as an important signal of the bully’s rule. 18 Most bullies have a down ward tendency all through life, as their aggressive behavior badly affects learning, holding a job, and establishing and maintaining intimate relationships. Some bullies do leave the behavior behind. But many do not; aggression is a very stable social interaction style. Many who were bullies as children turn into antisocial adults, who are far more likely than nonaggressive kids to commit crimes, beat their wives, abuse their children. Electronic bullying has become a significant new problem in the past decade. Cyber trouble can be especially disturbing because it can often be carried out without being known; victims may have no idea who the troublers are. 19 The best defense against bullying is being socially skilled — teaching all children social skills and allowing them to develop confidence. It is parents’ duty to know how their children get on with peers, and offer possible solutions if necessary. 20 A. Boys and girls are equally likely to be bullied. B. What cyberbullies do most is spread rumors on social media. C. Bullying not only harms its victims but also the bullies themselves. D. Those who often bully tend to have bad relationships with parents and peers. E. The second-best defense against bullying is to walk away and not fight back. F. Workplace bullying requires a whole community response to stop the abuse cycle. G. Bullies tend to pick on those who visibly lack self-confidence and don’t have friends. Passage 5 (23-24高一下·福建福州·期末) Street Eats When it comes to running a restaurant, the three most important factors are location, location, and location! 21 These mobile restaurants can sell food at the busiest corners in a city without paying the high cost of renting a permanent space. They set up early in the morning and sell their food over a tiny counter or through a window. 22 However, mobile food vendors are not a new idea. In fact, they have been around for thousands of years. Nearly two thousand years ago, the streets of Rome were filled with food carts selling all types of meals, from sweets and snacks to hearty dinners. 23 Many did not have ovens, which made preparing a hot meal at home impossible. So instead, ancient Romans bought their food on the street. They ate and socialized with their neighbors, strengthening the community and helping the local economy at the same time. Ancient Greece had food carts too. 24 In Sparta, people ate meals of porridge or soup on the go. Mobile food vendors also have a long history in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia and Malaysia, food sellers of the late nineteenth century carried their mini-restaurants on their, backs! These mini-restaurants were made up of a stove, two stools, and a small table. 25 . The success of mobile food vendors lies in their ability to adapt to the needs of modern society. They provide a fast and convenient dining option for those on the go, while also offering a unique and authentic dining experience. As the world continues to urbanize and become more mobile, it’s likely that mobile food vendors will continue to thrive and evolve. A. That is what makes food carts such a clever idea. B. Food carts could bring vendors handsome incomes. C. Vendors with wooden carts sold fried fish to the people of Athens. D. The people of Rome lived in tiny homes without much space to cook. E. At the end of the day, they are packed up and pulled away by a car or truck. F. Street eats often remind you of the good times you spend with your friends. G. They could be put together and carried here and there in search of customers. Passage 6 (23-24高一下·山东潍坊·期末)In the 1960s and 1970s, some writers and university professors called themselves “futurists”. These futurists tried to forecast the future. 26 The problem was that none of these futurists were scientists or engineers. So, while they knew the future would have more powerful computers, they had no clue what these computers would look like, what they could do, or what impact they would have on our lives. 27 Having said that, we can make some good guesses about future technology by looking at current scientific and technological advances. We can also ask the real experts: the scientists and engineers who are bringing us these advances. Because so much of our daily life will be integrated with computers, virtual reality will become an actual, real reality for many of us. This virtual world will at times seem as real as — if not more real than — the actual world around us. Without leaving home, you will be able to take tours of foreign countries, or even get a medical exam by a doctor in another city. 28 There is already, for example, technology which will allow blind people to see using cameras and deaf people to hear using microphones that are connected to their brains. Future technology will allow people to defeat all sorts of physical disabilities. Much research is being done to unlock the human mind. Using technology that is being developed now, people in the future may be able to not just read someone else’s mind, but also record their thoughts like one would record a movie. 29 For example, robot hands are being developed for people who have no hands. These artificial hands are connected to a person’s nerves so that the person’s brain tells the hands what to do. As a result of such advances, in the future, some people who are badly injured may become more robot than human. 30 We should all eagerly view the future as a great adventure — a new world waiting to be explored. Who knows exactly what we will find? A. Speaking of medicine, people with brain injuries will be able to find new hope. B. That is, their brains will control their robotic body parts so they can live their lives normally. C. Only a few of their predictions were right, and all of them missed the computer revolution. D. Artificial hands are made stronger and faster than human ones and work very well. E. Some other research involves using robotic technology to replace human functions. F. Many new parts will be made to replace broken human body ones. G. This should make us hesitate before we try to predict the future. Passage 7 (23-24高一下·河南郑州·期末)The world is diverse, with a variety of languages, skin colors, and cultures coexisting. 31 A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world. There are many ways to gain understanding of diverse cultures. 32 By doing so, people gain a good understanding of the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. For example, if you want to introduce your students to a different culture, you can frequently read them stories inspired by that culture’s folk tales. 33 A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs are available at the public library or bookstores. A person can choose a language to learn and find learning programs to master the language. Besides, one can enroll in foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language. 34 35 Whether you want to learn more about regions in Japan, the Middle East, Africa, or any other world culture, becoming familiar with its food is a giant step in the right direction. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to understand a particular cultural group’s way of life. A. Mastering a language takes effort but it can be rewarding. B. Understanding other cultures benefits individuals and society. C. One method is to read books by authors from a specific culture. D. For personal growth, it’s important to appreciate diverse cultures. E. Going to local bookstores can be fun to explore different cultures. F. Learning a foreign language is also a good way to learn different cultures. G. Learn about different cultures by trying food from a specific cultural group. Passage 8 (23-24高一下·广东东莞·期末) Chinese Lanterns Traditionally, lanterns are commonly seen during celebrations and festivals. They have become a beloved part of China’s cultural heritage, attracting people all over the world with their beauty and charm. 36 History of Chinese Lanterns At first, lanterns were only used to honour the ancestors in temples.

The more they ran around to different activities, the less time they have to themselves. 8 Students who suffer from learning problems get extra help at school through tutors and extra classes. However, these students quickly become too anxious about their schoolwork to do well. This is because they still go to regular classes. In those classes, they have to keep asking for help. The more the students need to ask for help, the less confidence they have in themselves at school. Finally, stress at home causes burnout. 9 Or their parents may work a lot, so the students must help clean the home. They might also have a part-time job and are working too much to study well. The more they work outside of school, the less time they have to focus on grades. Overscheduling, learning problems, and stress at home are harmful and can cause student burnout. 10 Make sure they are not overscheduled. Talk to teachers about their learning problems. And don’t let them work too many hours outside of school. A. What causes student burnout? B. Parents can help their children. C. Students are benefiting from it. D.

Over-independence is the belief that you are the only person you can depend on. 1 For example, you have depended on someone in the past and been let down, so, as a result, you have a “if you want something done, you have to do it yourself” mind. 2 One day, I had just come back from a funeral(葬礼) when a friend called me to see how I was. Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry. Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right. 3 What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in. 4 But living a life where you don't give anyone a chance to be there for you is extremely lonely, and not the solution. Humans are sociable creatures. With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone. 5 When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love. The more you give them a roadmap on how to help you, the more they can. So feel free to ask someone for support, and it is so worth it. A. I felt the opposite. B. I used to be the same. C. He taught me to ask for what I want. D. It is often born out of a painful experience. E. Learning how to ask for help is rather hard. F. Letting people in gives them possibility to hurt you. G. The way we deal with this is by reaching out anyway. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. F 5. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文中作者以自己的经历说明了“过度独立”使人变得孤独以及如何摆脱这种孤独。 1. 根据上文“Over-independence is the belief that you are the only person you can depend on.”(过度独立是认为自己是唯一可以依靠的人)根据下文“For example, you have depended on someone in the past and been let down, so, as a result, you have a “if you want something done, you have to do it yourself” mind.”(例如，你过去依赖某人，但被辜负了，所以，作为一个结果，你有“如果你想要完成某事，你必须自己做”的想法。)可知，选项承接上下文说明过度独立的根源。所以，D项“它往往产生于痛苦的经历。”符合语境。a painful experience呼应been let down。故选D项。 2. 根据下文“One day, I had just come back from a funeral(葬礼) when a friend called me to see how I was. Being so used to being very over-independent at that point, I said he didn't need to worry.”(一天，我刚从一个葬礼上回来，一个朋友打电话问我怎么样了。在那一点上，我已经习惯了非常独立，我说他不需要担心)可知，作者举了一个自己的例子说明作者也是过度独立的。故B选项“我过去也是这样的”切题，承接下文。故选B项。 3. 根据上文“Hours later, he turned up at my door simply saying, “I thought you might want a hug.” He was right.”(几个小时后，他出现在我门口，只是说:“我想你可能想要一个拥抱。”他是对的)可知，朋友的安慰实现上教会了作者要要自己想要的，不用太过度独立，也需要别人的安慰和理解。故C选项“他教我要要自己想要的”符合语境。故选C项。 4. 根据上文“What I ignored was that the great pressure I put on myself to do everything alone was blocking me from forming real and close connections, because in order to ask for help, you need to trust others and let them in.”(我忽略的是，我给自己施加了巨大的压力，让自己一个人做每件事，这阻碍了我建立真正的、亲密的联系，因为为了寻求帮助，你需要信任别人，让他们进入你的生活。)可知，选项承接上文说明让别人进入你的生活带来的不良影响。故F选项“让别人进如你的生活带来他们伤害你的可能性”切题。故选F项。 5. 根据上文“With our communities getting smaller and smaller, and our dependence on others becoming greater, it can be really easy to feel alone.”(随着我们的社区越来越小，我们对他人的依赖越来越大，我们很容易感到孤独。)根据下文“When you feel like no one cares, text someone who you love.”(当你觉得没人在乎的时候，给你爱的人发短信。)可知，选项承接上下文说明感到孤独时应该怎么办。reaching out呼应text someone who you love。故 G 选 项“我们处理这件事的方法就是寻求帮助”切题。故选G项。 Passage 2 (23-24高一下·安徽安庆·期末)We’ve all heard the standard advice for lifting ourselves out of an unfavorable mood(情绪). Here are some novel ideas beyond that. 6 We all sometimes find activities we enjoy but then unaccountably stop doing them. Pick up an activity you typically enjoy but haven’t done in the past six months. This could be, for example, visiting a park you used to like to walk around, or tending a plant you’ve previously grown. Rewrite a story. We all have stories that get us down. For instance, “I should’ve done X better,” or “X was my fault.” Often, we have replayed the story so many times that we begin to see the story as fact. 7 Come up with other explanations for the causes or results of what has happened. Take a highly creative approach to a task. For example, my kid is currently learning about the 50 states. 8 A more creative way might be to ask individuals which state they grew up in and engage in a conversation about that. Solve a problem in a much simpler way. 9 It can pull down your mood and energy. It’s necessary to identify a much simpler way to solve a problem that’s populating your to-do list. For example: give something away rather than cleaning or storing it. Throw out a “must” thought. It can be a huge mental relief. You can even do this physically. Write the thought on a piece of paper and put it out with your trash! Or type out the thought and strike through it. 10 A. Then write a replaceable item. B. Start with a behavioral strategy. C. Rediscover a forgotten pleasure. D. A common way to do this is a postcard exchange. E. Having hanging items on your to-do list can feel weighty. F. Yet it’s never too late to recompose a story about your own behavior. G. Use what you already own to solve a problem rather than searching for a new resource. 【答案】6. C 7. F 8. D 9. E 10. A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在提供了一些新颖的建议，帮助人们从不利的情绪中解脱出来。 6. 根据后文“We all sometimes find activities we enjoy but then unaccountably stop doing them. Pick up an activity you typically enjoy but haven’t done in the past six months. This could be, for example, visiting a park you used to like to walk around, or tending a plant you’ve previously grown.( 有时候，我们都会找到自己喜欢的活动，但后来却莫名其妙地停止了。选择一项你通常喜欢但在过去六个月里没有做过的活动。这可以是，例如，去一个你以前喜欢散步的公园，或者照顾一棵你以前种过的植物。)”可知，本段提到我们有时都会发现自己喜欢的活动，但却莫名其妙地停止了。选择一项你通常喜欢但在过去六个月内没有做过的活动。后边举例重新做回喜欢的事。所以，C项“Rediscover a forgotten pleasure.(重新发现被遗忘的快乐)”符合题意。故选C。 7. 本段主题句是“Rewrite a story. (重写故事)”。同时根据空格前的句子“Often, we have replayed the story so many times that we begin to see the story as fact. (通常，我们把故事重复播放了太多次，以至于我们开始把故事当成事实。)”可知，我们经常因为自己的行为自责，而且多次重复这种负面想法，就会把这看做是事实。F选项“Yet it’s never too late to recompose a story about your own behavior.( 然而，重新编一个关于你自己行为的故事永远不会太晚。)”承接前文，指出可以重新编一个关于你自己行为的故事，这样就不会让自己一直受到自己之前所认为的负面故事造成影响。故选F。 8. 根据后文的内容“A more creative way might be to ask individuals which state they grew up in and engage in a conversation about that.( 一种更有创意的方法可能是询问个人他们是在哪个州长大的，并就此展开对话。)”可知，此处介绍的是一个更有创意的想法，设空处应该给出一个普通的做法与此形成对比。所以，D项“A common way to do this is a postcard exchange.(一种常见的方法是交换明信片)”符合题意。故选D。 9. 根据空格后的“It can pull down your mood and energy.(它会降低你的情绪和精力。)”可知，空格处是一个拉低你的情绪和精力的不好的做法。同时再根据后文“It’s necessary to identify a much simpler way to solve a problem that’s populating your to-do list. (有必要确定一个更简单的方法来解决你的待办事项清单上的问题。)”可知，此处强调的是要确定一个更简单的方法来解决自己代办事项清单上的问题。 E选项“Having hanging items on your to-do list can feel weighty.(待办事项清单上挂着的事项会让你感觉很重。)”引起下文，强调待办事项清单上让你感觉很重，并且降低你的情绪和精力，由此要用一个更简单的方法来解决自己代办事项清单上的问题。故选E。 10. 本段主题句是“Throw out a “must” thought. (“扔掉一个’必须’的想法”)”。同时根据空格前的内容“Write the thought on a piece of paper and put it out with your trash! Or type out the thought and strike through it.( 把你的想法写在一张纸上，和你的垃圾一起扔出去!或者把你的想法打出来，然后划掉。)”可知，此处列举的是一系列行为，包括把你的想法写在一张纸上，然后和你的垃圾一起扔出去，以及把想法打出来，然后把它划掉，设空处应该顺延这个动作。A项“Then write a replaceable item.(然后写一个可替换的项目)”符合题意。故选A。 Passage 3 (23-24高一下·安徽亳州·期末)Our phones hold our memories, music, movies, and more, which is why we take great care to keep them damage-free. 11 When water is involved, even a few drops can seriously damage your phone.

But many newer smartphones are waterproof(防水的). That may reduce many concerns about accidental drops. 12 As soon as you realize your phone has fallen in water, fish it out as quickly as possible. Power your phone down. The most important thing to do to fix a phone that got water in it is to dry it off as quickly as possible and don’t turn it on under any condition. 13 Remember running any electrical charge through a wet electrical circuit(电路) will certainly cause problems, because water is well-known for being able to send charges between points on the circuit that can't deal with it. 14 There are a number of ways you could have gotten a wet cell phone, but one of the most common — and most unclean — is dropping your phone into your toilet. Once the worst has happened, your should clean it. It is important to clean it thoroughly after making sure it’s powered off.

If you’ve dropped your phone in water, what do you do?(当涉及到水时，即使是几滴也会严重损坏你的手机。如果你把手机掉进水里，你会怎么做？)”可知如果手机上弄上水即使是几滴后果也很严重，空处承上启下，所以空出应该指出即使是我们精心保护，有时意外也会发生，C项But sometimes, accidents do happen.(有时意外确实会发生。)指出意外有时确实会发生，承接上文，引出下文，But表示前后的转折，符合上下文语境。故选C项。 12. 根据空前“But many newer smartphones are waterproof (防水的). That may reduce many concerns about accidental drops.(但是许多新款智能手机都是防水的。这可能会减少人们对意外发生的担忧。)”可知因为许多新款智能手机大多具有防水的特点，所以即使是掉入水中也不必太过于担心，根据空后“As soon as you realize your phone has fallen in water, fish it out as quickly as possible.(一旦你意识到你的手机掉进水里，尽快把它捞出来。)”可知此处指出一旦手机掉入水中应该尽快捞出，空处应该引起下文，指出一旦手机掉进水里应尽快捞出的原因，G项However, any device will be damaged if left underwater too long.(然而，如果在水下停留太久，任何设备都会损坏。)指出手机掉入水中需尽快捞出的原因，承接上文，引出下文，副词However表明前后语意相反，符合上下文语境。故选G项。 13. 根据空前“The most important thing to do to fix a phone that got water in it is to dry it off as quickly as possible and don’t turn it on under any condition.(要修理进水的手机，最重要的是尽快把手机擦干，在任何情况下都不要开机。)”可知一旦手机进水要立刻把手机擦干而且不能开机，根据空后“Remember running any electrical charge through a wet electrical circuit(电路) will certainly cause problems, (记住，在潮湿的电路中运行任何电路肯定会引起问题，)”可知此处指出在手机进水时应关机的原因，即进水时如果继续让手机运行会引发电路问题，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲如果手机进了水应该怎么做，E项If it’s still on, turn it off immediately and leave it off.(如果它仍然开着，立即关闭它，让它关闭。)指出手机进水以后应立即关机，承接上文，引出下文，而且此处的it指代空前提到的a phone that got water in it，符合上下文语境。故选E项。 14. 空处为主旨句。根据空后“There are a number of ways you could have gotten a wet cell phone, but one of the most common—and most unclean—is dropping your phone into your toilet. Once the worst has happened, your should clean it.(弄湿手机的方法有很多种，但最常见也是最不干净的一种就是把手机掉进马桶里。一旦最坏的情况发生了，你应该清理它。)”可知本段主要与清洗掉进马桶的手机有关，所以小标题应该是清洗手机，选项A Clean your wet phone.(清洗湿了的手机。)指出本段的内容是对掉进马桶的手机进行清洗，概括全段内容，符合上下文语境。故选A项。 15. 空处位于段末，应对前文进行总结。根据空前“It is important to clean it thoroughly after making sure it’s powered off.

You mustn’t use pure alcohol or apply any other household cleaning materials directly to your phone.(重要的是要彻底清洁后，确保它的电源关闭。消毒湿巾就可以了，或者你也可以用酒精清洁剂擦拭抹布。您不能使用纯酒精或将任何其他家用清洁材料直接涂抹在手机上。)”指出要使用消毒湿巾进行彻底清洁，但不能将纯酒精或将任何其他家用清洁材料直接涂在手机上，所以空处指出为什么不能直接将纯酒精或将任何其他家用清洁材料涂在手机上的原因，D项That could cause additional harm to your device.(这可能会对您的设备造成额外的伤害。)指出不能直接使用纯酒精或将任何其他家用清洁材料的原因，而且D项中的That指代空前的use pure alcohol or apply any other household cleaning materials directly to your phone.这一错误做法，符合上下文语境。故选D项。 Passage 4 (23-24高一下·河南漯河·期末)Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money. 16 But with a little awareness and effort, we can make improvements that will help us achieve our financial goals.

While the following tips are just from my own personal experience, I hope that some of them will help you find satisfaction when it’s difficult to pull yourself out of bed. ◎Wake up early Jumping straight into a class isn’t my best way to wake up. Setting my alarm for 7 AM has given me time to relax in the morning before moving to the less enjoyable tasks I need to finish. Waking up early has also helped me adjust my nighttime routine. 27 . ◎Stay off social media In my own experience, starting my morning by looking through posts and short videos makes me more likely to use social media throughout the day. Spend a few hours off social media before you check any updates. 28 . And you had better only log(登录) on once or twice a day. ◎ 29 The best part about waking up early is the guiltless period of peace you have before the rush of afternoon work or study. While some like to sit outside and listen to music, taking in some vitamin D, others choose to meditate (冥想) or journal. Whatever way you choose to relax, find something enjoyable and try to make it part of your routine. ◎Don’t push yourself beyond your limits Some days you will wake up, make coffee, go for a run and prepare a meal. Other mornings you may struggle to get out of bed. 30 . When you fail to follow this perfect morning routine, don’t beat yourself up. The key to having a “good” start to your day is accepting your energy levels without judgment and trying your best to finish the day’s tasks. A. Get ready for the day B. Both of them are okay C.

Camping can be a great way to get outdoors and surround yourself with nature. 31 Bring a tent. 32 It should also be light and easy for transport. If it’s supposed to rain at all while you’re camping, make sure your tent has a rain cover so you don’t get wet while you’re sleeping. Some campsites or outdoor stores may offer tent rentals if you don’t have a tent you can use. Choose a sleeping bag. Sleeping bags have different ratings to determine the temperature at which they can keep you warm and comfortable. Check the weather at the campgrounds and determine what the lowest temperatures are so you know which sleeping bag to bring along. 33 But if you’re camping in cooler months, you may need something thicker. 34 Many times, a campfire is your only heat source while you’re camping, so some foods may not cook as easily as others. Look for foods that you can cook, such as hot dogs, vegetables and meats, since they’re the easiest to hold over an open fire. Pack a basic survival kit. 35 It includes items like pocket knives, flashlights, first aid supplies and multipurpose tools, so you can stay safe while you’re camping. You can either buy a prepackaged camping survival kit or you can make your own and carry it in a toolbox. A. Prepare food that’s easy to cook. B. Use a cooler to keep food cold. C. It should be large enough for you and your things. D. Look at an outdoor store for different types of tents. E. If you’re camping in summer, you can use a thin sleeping bag. F. Make sure you have a survival kit in case there’s an emergency. G. When you start planning your trip, make sure to pack the materials you need. 【答案】31. G 32. C 33. E 34. A 35. F 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了露营所需携带物品的打包方法，包括帐篷、睡袋、食物选择和基础生存工具等。 31. 根据前文“Everyone needs a break from everyday life. Camping can be a great way to get outdoors and surround yourself with nature.(每个人都需要从日常生活中休息一下。露营是一种很好的户外活动方式，让你置身于大自然之中。)”可知，此处提到每个人都需要从日常生活中休息一下，露营是一种很好的户外活动方式，所以第一空应该是对打包露营材料的总述。G选项“When you start planning your trip, make sure to pack the materials you need.(当你开始计划你的旅行时，一定要打包你需要的材料。)”引出文章介绍的主题即露营时打包材料，符合语境，故选G。 32. 根据空前“Bring a tent.(带一个帐篷)”，可知本段的段旨为带帐篷，后文应该对帐篷进行描述。C选项“It should be large enough for you and your things.( 它应该足够大，可以放得下你和你的东西。)”中的it指代前文中的tent，同时指出帐篷应该足够大，符合语境。故选C。 33. 根据前文“Choose a sleeping bag. (选择一个睡袋。)”可知，此处建议选择一个睡袋。同时根据后文“But if you’re camping in cooler months, you may need something thicker.( 但如果你在凉爽的月份露营，你可能需要更厚的东西。)”可知，后面提到如果你在较冷的月份露营，你可能需要更厚的睡袋。E选项“If you’re camping in summer, you can use a thin sleeping bag.(如果你在夏天露营，你可以用一个薄睡袋。)”与后文的情况形成对比，即如果在夏天可以使用一个薄的睡袋，符合语境。故选E。 34. 设空处为本段的段旨即本段的小标题。根据后文“Many times, a campfire is your only heat source while you’re camping, so some foods may not cook as easily as others. (很多时候，营火是你露营时唯一的热源，所以有些食物可能不像其他食物那么容易煮熟。)”可知，露营时火堆往往是唯一的取暖源，所以有些食物可能不容易煮熟，所以需要准备一些容易烹饪的食物。A选项“Prepare food that’s easy to cook.( 准备容易烹饪的食物。)”概括本段段旨，符合语境。故选A。 35. 根据本段段旨“Pack a basic survival kit.(带上基本的救生包。)”可知，本段强调带上一个救生包。F选项“Make sure you have a survival kit in case there’s an emergency.(确保你有一个救生包，以防发生紧急情况。)”与段旨呼应，强调的是确保准备一个救生包，以防紧急情况，符合语境。故选F。 Passage 8 (23-24高一下·湖南衡阳·期末)Durian(榴莲) prices in China — the world’s top market for the spiky, pungent fruit typically regarded as an expensive item — have fallen by over 30 percent this month, which delights durian lovers a lot and they even couldn’t wait to enjoy one. However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian. 36 Tap on it (not with your hand). If a durian is ripe, it should “sound like hitting a drum”, as the fruit is more hollow with gaps of air inside the fruit. 37 The seeds are sure to have loosened up when we shake a ripen durian. A darker stem means that the durian has been harvested much earlier, so, obviously, it isn’t suitable for us to choose. 38 A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious! If the durian has bulging(鼓起的) sides, it is often an indication that the seeds are fleshy. If the sides are concave, it is likely the chamber is empty. Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat. 39 It’s commonly acknowledged that larger and rounder fruits will always be drawn attention to, but as for durians, bigger is not necessarily better. 40 It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious. You won’t miss a tasty durian for your careful choice. A. Purchasing a durian, listen out for tapping sounds. B. Next time you buy a durian, do remember to choose a bigger one. C. In addition, one must also learn to observe the shape of the durian. D. Here are a few practical tips to help you become a skilled durian picker. E. Following the tips below, you’ll find it not difficult to break off a durian. F. The perfect weight of durian is 1.5 to 2kg, which provides the best flavors. G. They are usually more fragrant(芳香的) and creamier compared to perfectly rounded durians. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. C 39. G 40. F 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何挑选一个令人满意的榴莲。 36. 根据前文“However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian.(然而，许多人在购买满意的榴莲时，面对堆积如山的榴莲摊位，他们感到有挑战性并不知所措。)”可知，许多人在购买榴莲的时候，怎样挑选榴莲不知所措。D选项“Here are a few practical tips to help you become a skilled durian picker.(以下是一些实用的技巧，可以帮助你成为一名熟练的榴莲挑选者。)”回答了前文的问题，承上启下，符合语境。故选D项。 37. 根据前文“If a durian is ripe, it should ‘sound like hitting a drum’, as the fruit is more hollow with gaps of air inside the fruit.(如果榴莲成熟了，它的声音应该“听起来像敲鼓”，因为榴莲的果实更中空，里面有空隙。)”以及本段的主旨句“Tap on it (not with your hand).轻敲它(不要用手)，”可知，设空处内容应与“敲榴莲、听声音”有关，选项A“Purchasing a durian, listen out for tapping sounds.(购买榴莲时，注意听敲击的声音。)”与“敲榴莲、听声音”相对应。与本段落内容有关，故选A项。 38. 下文“A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious!(完全椭圆的榴莲并不一定是最美味的!)”及本段中两个If引导的条件句“If the durian has bulging (鼓起的) sides(如果榴莲是鼓起的)”和“If the sides are concave(如果榴莲是凹的)”可知，本段主要与“榴莲形状”有关。C项“In addition, one must also learn to observe the shape of the durian.(此外，还必须学会观察榴莲的形状。)”概括本段大意，能引起下文内容。故选C项。 39. 根据上文“Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat.(形状奇特的榴莲也不意味着果肉少。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲的出肉率”有关，G 选项“They are usually more fragrant (芳香的) and creamier compared to perfectly rounded durians.(它们通常比完美圆形的榴莲更香、更软糯。)”承接上文内容，符合语意，选项中They指代上文Odd-shaped durians。故选G项。 40. 根据上文“bigger is not necessarily better.(更大的榴莲不一定更好。)”及后文“It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious.(不吃个头太大看起来很好吃的榴莲是明智的。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲大小”有关，且并不是“越大越好”。F选项“The perfect weight of durian is 1.5 to 2kg, which provides the best flavors.(榴莲的最佳重量是1.5-2公斤，味道最好。)”具体指出榴莲的最佳重量，符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 9 (23-24高一下·广东清远·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. 41 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. 42 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. 43 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. 44 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. 45 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】41. E 42. G 43. B 44. F 45. C 【语篇解读】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。 41. 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。 42. 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。 43. 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。 44. 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。 45. 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。 Passage 10 (23-24高一下·浙江宁波·期末) Soothe the Sunday scaries Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.

How was this possible? 6 Romantic Period Sound If you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase(乐节), think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8. 7 It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period. Romantic Instruments As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles. 8 Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker. Romantic Pieces Despite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring(变戏法般的) life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824. 9 It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice. 10 They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics(批判者) who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period. A. Beethoven is the originator of the Romantic period. B. Learn more and listen to the best pieces with our guide. C. The period also saw the development of the tone poem. D. When it comes to the Romantic period, the bigger, the better. E. To make a conclusion, they had more free time to write music. F. If you thought the piece would end in the key it started in, think again. G. To summarize, romantic period composers used ever-increasing subject matter in their works. 【答案】6. B 7. F 8. D 9. C 10. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是浪漫主义时期在1830年左右慢慢兴起的原因。 6. 根据空前的“Around 1830, the Romantic period slowly arose from the delicate form of the Classical period, expanding orchestral(管弦乐的) forces to express emotions and extra-musical ideas they had never expressed before. How was this possible?(1830年左右，浪漫主义时期从古典主义时期的精致形式中慢慢兴起，扩大了管弦乐的力量，以表达他们以前从未表达过的情感和音乐以外的思想。这怎么可能呢?)”可知此处是在探索浪漫主义时期慢慢兴起的原因，根据后文“Romantic Period Sound(浪漫时期的声音)”以及“Romantic Instruments(浪漫的乐器)”可知后文讲的是浪漫主义时期慢慢兴起的原因，空处承上启下，所以空处应该指出接下就是浪漫主义兴起的原因，选项B Learn more and listen to the best pieces with our guide.(通过我们的指南了解更多并聆听最好的作品。)指出通过指南可以找到其中的原因，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选B项。 7. 根据本段标题“Romantic Period Sound(浪漫时期的声音)”以及空前“If you expect the music to have a regular, eight bar phrase(乐节), think again. It might have irregular phrases to throw you off course, like in Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8.(如果你希望音乐有固定的八小节乐句，那就再想想吧。它可能会有不规则的短语让你偏离方向，比如舒伯特的未完成的第八交响曲。)”可知本段主要讲的是浪漫时期音乐的特点，指出浪漫时期的音乐不会有固定的八小节乐句，根据空后“It may well be that composers like Mahler jump to an unexpected musical ending, like in his Symphony No. 2. If in doubt, be prepared to forget anything and everything you previously thought about music, and expect to be surprised, attracted, and amazed by the unexpected twists and turns of the Romantic period.(像Mahler这样的作曲家很可能会跳到一个意想不到的音乐结尾，就像他的第二交响曲一样。如果有疑问，请准备好忘记你之前对音乐的一切想法，并期待着被浪漫主义时期意想不到的曲折所震惊、吸引和惊叹。)”可知此处以作曲家Mahler的作品为例，来说明音乐不是都有固定的八小节乐句，而是可能会跳到一个意想不到的结尾，空处承上启下，所以空处应该接着上文讲舒伯特的第八交响曲并不是像我们所想的以开始的调子结束，F项If you thought the piece would end in the key it started in, think again.(如果你认为这首曲子会以它开始时的调子结束，再想想。)指出舒伯特的第八交响曲并不是固定的音乐八小节乐句，承接上文，引出下文，而且F项中的the piece指代上文的Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No. 8.，符合上下文语境。故选F项。 8. 根据小标题“Romantic Instruments(浪漫的乐器)”以及“As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral instruments just weren’t rich enough for many Romantic composers. So, more were added, including the contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo, xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles.(随着音乐的表现力越来越强，标准的管弦乐乐器对许多浪漫主义作曲家来说不够丰富。因此，更多的乐器加入进来，包括低音巴松管，低音单簧管和短笛，木琴，鼓，天琴，竖琴，铃铛和三角铁。)”可知本段主要讲的是浪漫主义时期的乐器的品种是多样的，根据空后“Listen to how Tchaikovsky makes use of various instruments in the ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ in his ballet, The Nutcracker.(听听柴可夫斯基在他的芭蕾舞剧《胡桃夹子》中的“糖梅仙女之舞”是如何使用各种乐器的。)”可知此处以柴可夫斯基芭蕾舞剧《胡桃夹子》中的“糖梅仙女之舞”为例来说明浪漫主义时期的乐器是多种多样的，空处承上启下，所以空处应该接着上文讲这个时期乐器的特点，D项When it comes to the Romantic period, the bigger, the better.(说到浪漫主义时期，越大越好。)指出浪漫主义时期乐器的特点是越大越好，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选D项。 9. 根据空前“Despite often being marked as a Classical period composer, Beethoven’s style really covered the two periods. His later works are pretty expansive, conjuring(变戏法般的)life, death, joy, peace, and even the concept of a universal brotherhood in the symphony of all symphonies, his choral Symphony No. 9, written in 1824.(尽管经常被认为是古典时期的作曲家，但贝多芬的风格确实涵盖了这两个时期。他后来的作品相当广泛，在他1824年创作的合唱《第9号交响曲》中，让人联想到生命、死亡、欢乐、和平，甚至还有普世兄弟情谊的概念。)”指出贝多芬的作品涵盖了古典和浪漫两个时期的风格以及他的《第9号交响曲》的特点，根据空后“It was a one-movement work evoking a story or poem, like Debussy’s dreamy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice.(这是一部单乐章作品，让人想起一个故事或一首诗，就像Debussy梦幻般的Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune or Dukas’Sorcerer’s Apprentice。)指出Debussy作品让人想起一个故事或一首诗，空处承上启下，所以空处应该讲的是这个时期的作品会让人想起一个故事或一首诗，C项“The period also saw the development of the tone poem.(这一时期也见证了交响诗的发展。)”指出这一时期见证了交响诗的发展，承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选C项。 10. 根据空后“They also expanded the orchestra to express the full range of human emotion through music. But, understandably, this over-indulgent expression had its critics(批判者)who favoured absolute music-music for music’s sake, without a programme or story-and these critics led music into the ever-diverse 20th Century period.(他们还扩大了管弦乐队，通过音乐来表达人类的全部情感。但是，可以理解的是，这种过分放纵的表达方式也有批评者，他们喜欢纯粹的音乐——为音乐而音乐，没有节目或故事——这些批评者将音乐带入了日益多样化的20世纪。)”指出浪漫主义时期音乐家们还扩大了管弦乐队，通过音乐来表达人类的全部情感，所以空处也应该是与作曲家们有关的总结性的内容，而且由空后的They可知空处一定会提到they的具体指代即 these composers，G项To summarize, romantic period composers used ever-increasing subject matter in their works.(总之，浪漫主义时期的作曲家在他们的作品中使用了越来越多的主题。)指出浪漫主义时期的作曲家在他们的作品中使用了越来越多的主题，对上文进行了总结，而且此处的romantic period composers就是空后的they，符合上下文语境。故选G项。 Passage 3 (23-24高一下·江苏连云港·期末) Get lost in music Have you noticed how cheerful songs can give you energy, while calm tunes can help you relax? 11 And getting lost in it can help you enjoy the magic of music even more.

Avoid high-priced tickets The most expensive tickets are going to be on peak times, which will usually run from Friday night until Sunday evening. But if you have the flexibility to go midweek or in the daytime you’ll hopefully find lower prices. 17 It’ll depend on which cinema you have near you. Consider a membership Some cinema memberships also offer free tickets and then discounts on future visits, so they’re worth looking at if you know you’ll make the money back. But if you are going at least twice a month then the all-you-can-watch memberships can be fantastic value. However, one disadvantage is that if you want to see a film at a different chain you’ll be paying again. 18 Use discounted gift cards 19 Or you can use cashback apps like Jam Doughnut and Hyper Jar to buy the gift cards and get a percentage back. What’s good about these is that they stack with other offers, such as Meerkat Movies and silver screenings, so you save twice. 20 Finally, armed with your cheap cinema tickets, don’t ruin all your good work by buying the popcorn at the cinema. The price is always high. But it can be easily avoided by hitting a supermarket beforehand to buy much cheaper treats.

But group running also requires that you follow some basic etiquette(礼仪) and behavior rules. Here’s advice on running etiquette for group running. Leave your headphones at home. Sure, music helps push some runners along. However, it’s antisocial to wear headphones during a group run. It can also be dangerous because listening to music means you’ll be less aware of your surroundings. 21 Don’t jingle(发出叮当声) . 22 But you can bet that it will annoy at least one person in your group. You don’t want to become known as “The Annoying Loose Change Guy”. Be prepared with what you need. 23 Carry your own water and food, as well as some cash or a credit card, just in case you need it. Don’t run without considering the safety of others. Not only is it rude to take over a path and block other runners, walkers, or cyclists, but it can be a possible safety risk. To make other runners and cyclists easily pass, make sure you’re running no more than two abreast(并排), especially on busy roads, sidewalks, or paths. 24 For example, run in a clockwise direction on a circular route. 25 Runners join groups for the social element, but that doesn’t mean they want to hear the same person talk non-stop about their running achievements, injuries, or life problems during every run. Ask people, especially the new members of the group, questions to give them a chance to speak. A. Be silent sometimes. B. Give advice to others. C. You can’t know some group members very well. D.

You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist(潮湿的), making your throat feel comfortable. 31 You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance(共鸣). Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty. 32 While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car. From my personal experience, I realize the importance of not only focusing but also setting the right conditions during practice. 33 This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game. They try hitting different types of throws, even slower ones that they wouldn’t see in a real game. 34 To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand. 35 A. As a saying goes, practice makes perfect. B. The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense. C. I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am. D.

B 33. F 34. C 35. G 【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了为什么淋浴时唱歌会让人感到满足。 31. 上文“You are alone. You are warm. The air is moist, making your throat feel wet.(你独自一人。你是温暖的。空气潮湿，使你的喉咙感到湿润)”和下文“You’re at once relaxed and pleasantly energized by the water. Little can take you away from the simple tasks at hand. You control the speed and pitch. And the bathroom provides wonderful resonance (共鸣).(在水里，你会立刻感到放松和愉悦。没有什么能让你离开手头的简单任务。你控制速度和俯仰。浴室提供了美妙的共鸣)”都是描写淋浴时的状态。D项“You are standing up straight.(你直直站着)”与上下文语意一致，同时在句式上与上文中“You are alone. You are warm.”相照应，符合语境。故选D。 32. 根据上文“Now imagine singing while driving. You are sitting, stuck by a tight seat belt that limits airflow. Without any warm-up, you probably start right in with the first song you hear. The air is drier. And to stay awake, you may be drinking coffee, which can make you thirsty.(现在想象一下边开车边唱歌。你坐着，被一个限制气流的紧安全带卡住了。在没有任何热身的情况下，你可能会从听到的第一首歌开始。空气更干燥了。为了保持清醒，你可能会喝咖啡，这会让你口渴)”和下文“While singing along to the radio, your voice may get lost in the noise of the song and the car.(当你跟着收音机唱歌时，你的声音可能会消失在歌曲和汽车的噪音中)”可知，本句主要是描述我们在开车时唱歌的感受。B项“The stress of driving and staying safe keeps you tense.(驾驶和安全的压力让你紧张)”与本段主题一致，句中“driving”照应上下文内容。故选B。 33. 根据下文“This is why some argue against baseball players practising hitting before a game.(这就是为什么有些人反对棒球运动员在比赛前练习击球)”中“This is why...”可推知，设空句是下文中有些人反对棒球运动员在比赛前练习击球的原因。F项“Poor training may lead to poor results.(糟糕的训练可能导致糟糕的结果)”说明原因：糟糕的训练可能导致糟糕的结果，与下文构成因果关系。故选F。 34. 下文“To warm up, I practise deep breathing exercises and relax my tongue with “blah blah blahs.” Brightening my face helps make my sound more energetic. My voice becomes richer and stronger when I practise opening up my mouth by yawning, imagining the back of my mouth expanding like a frog’s. I also adjust the way I stand.(为了热身，我做深呼吸练习，用“blah blah blah”来放松舌头。让我的脸变得明亮有助于让我的声音更有活力。当我通过打哈欠练习张开嘴巴，想象我的嘴巴后部像青蛙一样张开时，我的声音变得更丰满、更有力。我也调整了站立的方式)”描述了热身的动作，是对C项“I always try to recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower wherever I am.(无论我在哪里，我总是试图重现淋浴时唱歌的美妙感觉)”中“recreate the great feeling of singing in the shower”的详细阐述，作者试图用这种方式来找到感觉，上下文语意连贯。故选C。 35. 根据上文“I also adjust the way I stand. (我也调整了站立的方式)”可知，作者在热身时要调整站立姿势，G项“After all, an upright guitar wouldn’t sound right if it was bent.(毕竟，一把直立的吉他如果是弯曲的，声音就不好听了)”用比喻的手法来说明要调整站立姿势的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选G。 Passage 8 (23-24高一下·江西抚州·期末) How to make exercise a habit that sticks There’s a reason why so many New Year’s resolutions to get in shape crash and burn before February rolls around. And it’s not that you simply don’t have what it takes. 36 Follow these steps to make exercise one of them. Remove obstacles. 37 Do you tend to run out of time in the morning? Get your workout clothes out the night before so you’re ready to go as soon as you get up. Do you skip your evening workout if you go home first? Keep a gym bag in the car, so you can head out straight from work. Start small and build motivation. A goal of exercising for 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week may sound good. But how likely are you to follow through? The more ambitious your goal is, the more likely you are to fail, feel bad about it and give up. 38 39 People who exercise regularly tend to do so because of the rewards it brings to their lives, such as more energy, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being. When you’re starting an exercise program, it’s important to give yourself immediate rewards when you successfully complete a workout or reach a new fitness goal. Choose activities that make you feel happy and confident. 40 Don’t choose activities like running or lifting weights at the gym just because you think that’s what you should do. Instead, pick activities that fit your lifestyle, abilities, and taste. A. Reward yourself. B. Set yourself up for success. C. However, these tend to be long-term rewards. D. Plan ahead for anything that might get in the way of exercising. E. Science shows us that there’s a right way to build habits that last. F. So, it’s better to start with easy exercise goals you know you can achieve G. If your workout is unpleasant or makes you feel clumsy, you’re unlikely to stick with it. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. F 39. A 40.

(为什么这么多的新年减肥计划在2月到来之前就失败了，这是有原因的。这并不是说你不具备成功的条件。)”可知，此处提出为什么很多人无法坚持新年健身计划的问题。后文应该对此问题进行解释。E选项“Science shows us that there’s a right way to build habits that last.(科学告诉我们，有一种正确的方法来建立持久的习惯。)”对文章开头的回应，解释了为什么很多人无法坚持新年健身计划，并引入了建立持久习惯的正确方法。故选E。 37. 根据本段标题“Remove obstacles.(移除障碍。)”可知，本段陈述的是消除阻碍运动的障碍。D选项“Plan ahead for anything that might get in the way of exercising.(提前计划任何可能阻碍你锻炼的事情。)”与“Remove obstacles(消除障碍)”的标题相匹配，并提供了如何消除这些障碍的建议。故选D。 38. 根据标题“Start small and build motivation.

There are many festivals held in various communities. 42 Without music, a celebration will be effectively incomplete. Music allows us to dance and be completely ourselves in front of our peers. When music is playing and people are dancing, you feel a sense of belonging to your culture. Music is always present in our lives. It can be a huge part of our life no matter where we live or how old we are. Our parents $$
