专题04 七选五 （江苏专用）-【好题汇编】2025年高考英语二模试题分类汇编

专题04七选五 （一） （2025·江苏常州高级中学·二模） During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. 36 For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. 37 One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure. Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. 38 When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. 39 Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. 40 Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A．Many factors shape your body image. B．It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C．However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D．External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E．Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F．Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G．This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. （二） （2025•江苏常州金坛区第一中学•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. 16 . 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. 17 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. 18 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. 19 Seeing things from a different point of view can help you notice details you may have missed before. 20 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. （三） （2025·江苏南京·二模） Visit a zoo, and you may love watching polar bears as they swim through a pool. Zoos can be important places for polar bear research. 16 The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans. However, tracking them is tricky due to their wide-range movement. The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers. 17 It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off. An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods. 18 They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt. 19 But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data. Additionally, it’s always a bonus to have one more way to track, understand — and hopefully help — these impressive white mammals of the north. To aid polar bears further, we must address the root cause:climate change. What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use. 20 A．Little things can indeed help a lot. B．But never underestimate the effect of climate change. C．Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females. D．As sea ice declines, polar bears spend more time on shore. E．The researchers had already suspected this is what they did. F．The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay. G．But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them. （四） （2025·江苏南京中华中学·二模） In literature, flat and round characters offer distinct approaches to character development. Flat characters are defined by a singular symbolic characteristic. 16 For example, the evil stepmothers in traditional fairy tales are flat characters, serving to drive the story with their simplicity. By contrast, Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber exemplifies (举例说明) round characters, defined by inner conflicts, contradictions, and personal growth. 17 They reflect the unpredictability of humanity, making them more relatable and dynamic to readers. In earlier literary works, flat characters often symbolized heroic ideals, such as the brave heroes in The Odyssey. As society moves away from idealized heroes, literature focuses more on characters’ personal struggles, reflecting how writers began to see humanity in a more complex way. With the rise of realism in the 19th century, round characters gained popularity, as seen in Jane Eyre, which allowed for the exploration of personal identity and internal conflict. 18 However, not every character that appears in a story needs to be deep. 19 Imagine the main character is taking a taxi to a hotel. If we make the taxi driver a round character, the focus could shift from the main character to the taxi driver, potentially taking attention away from the main plot. 20 They together create tension and richness in a literary work. Flat characters provide clarity and focus, simplifying themes and making them accessible to readers. Meanwhile, round characters reveal human complexity, showing life beyond black and white. A．Neither type of characters is better than the other. B．Such characters stand out for complexity and depth. C．We don’t get heartfelt backstory to enrich their roles. D．If flat characters are round, they may “steal the show”. E．This shows how literature reflects evolving social views. F．Round characters are more engaging than flat characters. G．They are more like a spotlight, drawing attention to one aspect. （五） （2025·江苏苏北七市联考·二模） How to appreciate a classic Classics are often seen as books read by literature majors or intellectuals.

Maybe read a book from the same author. In this way, the next book becomes easier to read. The ease in the language and the context is reward itself and may motivate you to read more classics. Try again. If the first classic you got was a miss, find another one. You can even start with thinner books like Peter Pan or a child’s classic such as Alice in Wonderland or even Anne of Green Gables.

D．My love for classics was a gradual affair. E．Allow the book and the language to grow with you. F．It’s wrong to assume that all classics are created equal.

Lack of self-worth is often the biggest roadblock on our path to living a fulfilling life. Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world. 36 It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity. 37 Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, it’s more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership, respect, and kindness. 38 We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact? Is it useful and kind? If the answer is no, then this criticism is not worth paying attention to. You alone are responsible for your self-worth. Regardless of other people’s words, thoughts, and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself. 39 Don’t wait for people to confirm your value. Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions. We all mess up sometimes — it’s part of being human. 40 It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor. There’s no point in worrying about your mistakes or upsetting over the not-so-good decisions from the past. Self-compassion is about believing that you are worthy of love regardless of what you do or fail to do. A．Don’t let your inner critic rule your thoughts. B．What matters is what you think about yourself. C．All these do not determine your value and self-worth. D．But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go. E．Treat yourself with the love and care that others give you. F．Pay attention to the perceptions about where you should be. G．Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care. （八） （2025·江苏前黄中学·二模） In a world facing serious environmental challenges and a growing disconnection from nature, community gardens have emerged as drivers for positive changes.

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. 17 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). 18 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. 19 A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. 20 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. （十） （2025·江苏泰州中学·二模） Are you struggling with low self-esteem (自尊)? If so, you may have been told to repeat phrases such as “I’m a lovable person”. 16 However, when psychologists tested the effects of such positive self-talk, they found “toxic positivity” — the phenomenon that a forced optimistic interpretation of our experiences alongside the bottling up of negative emotions can do real damage. 17 Beginning in the industrial revolution, socioeconomic goals around productivity and efficiency contributed to a culture where emotions, especially paralyzing ones like sadness, were seen as handbrakes to economic output. If someone was struggling, they were advised to have more faith rather than encouraged to explore the root causes. Science also takes some blame. Historically, psychologists didn’t consider emotions as justified phenomena to study, so there was little understanding of their significant impact on mental health. It isn’t surprising that we want to believe things will turn out better if we have positive attitude. After all, there is a growing body of research indicating that an optimistic outlook on life does have benefits, such as promoting physical health, boosting energy, and reducing stress. It also isn’t surprising that we label certain emotions, like anger, guilt, fear, and bitterness, as bad because they do feel unpleasant. 18 Nevertheless, it is becoming apparent that positivity has its limits. In 2021, a meta-analysis with more than 217, 000 participants investigated the link between optimism, pessimism and mortality. It found that an optimistic outlook was indeed associated with the lower risk of death, however, both unrealistic optimism and pessimism were linked to a higher risk of death. 19 How can we escape toxic positivity? Susan Davis from Harvard Medical School emphasizes the importance of allowing ourselves to sit with uncomfortable emotions. 20 The key to managing emotions does not lie in judging oneself for feeling negative emotions, but simply experiencing them, knowing that they will pass. A．We need to accept them as a normal part of human experience. B．Our tendency to avoid the darker aspects of human experience isn’t new. C．When we experience them, we can become consumed, disturbed or inactive. D．Neglecting negative emotions is also found to be harmful to our mental health. E．They urge us to inject a bit of positive emotion into our day to gain the benefits. F．Positive chants like this are set to boost a person’s mood and feelings of self-worth. G．We are more likely to perceive normal emotions as mental problems needing treatment. （十一） （2025·江苏盐城射阳中学·二模） Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. 16 If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it addressed as soon as possible. Caregiver stress is all too common. 17 If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. 18 When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both. 19 Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. 20 While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them. A．Taking regular holidays is also important. B．Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue? C．First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress. D．The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty. E．But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy. F．Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time. G．For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough. （十二） （2025·江苏南京·二模） Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost equaled cleaning in my family. As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was assigned a chore (家务活). 36 Exceptions were made of course, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities. Chores were part of my family’s way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. 37 When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. 38 Being assigned chores communicates that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof. Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. 39 I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories. 40 Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness. All these consequences would seem to tip the scales (天平) in favor of chores. A．It made sense to us, as much as we disliked it. B．They-create a sense of belonging within a family. C．Household chores were a source of great stress for us. D．Actually, doing chores alongside my family can make them a joy. E．We had to complete our assigned chore before school assignments. F．Allowing children to share burdens helps them recognize their strengths. G．It also comes as no surprise that chores are important for personal growth. 33 / 34 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题04七选五 （一） （2025·江苏常州高级中学·二模） During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose. 36 For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal. 37 One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure.

Zoos can be important places for polar bear research. 16 The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans. However, tracking them is tricky due to their wide-range movement. The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers. 17 It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off. An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods. 18 They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt. 19 But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data. Additionally, it’s always a bonus to have one more way to track, understand — and hopefully help — these impressive white mammals of the north. To aid polar bears further, we must address the root cause:climate change. What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use. 20 A．Little things can indeed help a lot. B．But never underestimate the effect of climate change. C．Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females. D．As sea ice declines, polar bears spend more time on shore. E．The researchers had already suspected this is what they did. F．The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay. G．But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them. 【答案】16．G 17．C 18．F 19．E 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了北极熊研究面临的追踪难题，新的追踪方法及其意义，还提到了应对气候变化帮助北极熊的方法。 16．根据上文“Zoos can be important places for polar bear research(动物园可以成为北极熊研究的重要场所)”和下文“The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans(我们对全球变暖如何影响它们了解得越多，就越能更好地设计保护计划)”可知，此处需要一个句子来引出在野外观察北极熊对研究和保护它们的重要性。G选项“But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them.（但是在野外观察这些动物是研究和保护它们的最佳方式。）”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，故选G项。 17．根据上文“The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers(主要的追踪器类型是无线电项圈，像项链一样套在熊的脖子上。这个设备将位置信息发送回研究人员那里)”以及下文“It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off(把它们戴在小熊身上不安全——随着它们长大，项圈可能会变得太紧。而且雄性北极熊的头比脖子窄，所以项圈会直接滑落)”可知，此处应说明无线电项圈在使用对象上的局限性。C选项“Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females(不幸的是，这些项圈只对成年雌性北极熊有效)”符合语境，介绍了项圈的适用情况，故选C项。 18．根据上文“An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods(一个国际团队受到“毛发上的芒刺”想法的启发，开发了新的追踪方法。这个设备粘在熊的皮毛上，就像你在树林里散步后狗身上的芒刺一样)”和下文“They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt(他们发现，在温暖的月份里，这些动物在陆地上闲逛，很少活动，保存能量。随着温度下降，它们回到冰面上捕猎)”可知，上文说的是新的追踪方法，下文说的是对这些动物的观察情况，可推理出空白处表示的是研究人员使用这种设计来观察北极熊，与F选项“The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay(研究人员使用这种设计来观察哈德逊湾沿岸的北极熊)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 19．根据下文“But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data(但是用可靠的数据来证实这一点是非常宝贵的)”可知，上文说的是用可靠的数据来证实这一点是非常宝贵的，可推理出此处应提到研究人员之前已经有了某种推测。E选项“The researchers had already suspected this is what they did(研究人员已经怀疑它们就是这样做的)”表示的含义符合语境，故选E项。 20．根据上文“What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use(那么我们能做些什么呢？骑自行车上学，而不是让父母开车送你。设备充电后拔掉插头以节省能源。不用电脑和灯时把它们关掉)”可知，上文说的是诸如骑自行车上学、设备充电后拔掉插头以节省能源以及不用电脑和灯时把它们关掉等这些小事，可推理出此处应总结这些小事对帮助北极熊的作用。A选项“Little things can indeed help a lot(小事确实能帮上大忙)”符合语境，故选A项。 （四） （2025·江苏南京中华中学·二模） In literature, flat and round characters offer distinct approaches to character development. Flat characters are defined by a singular symbolic characteristic. 16 For example, the evil stepmothers in traditional fairy tales are flat characters, serving to drive the story with their simplicity. By contrast, Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber exemplifies (举例说明) round characters, defined by inner conflicts, contradictions, and personal growth. 17 They reflect the unpredictability of humanity, making them more relatable and dynamic to readers. In earlier literary works, flat characters often symbolized heroic ideals, such as the brave heroes in The Odyssey. As society moves away from idealized heroes, literature focuses more on characters’ personal struggles, reflecting how writers began to see humanity in a more complex way. With the rise of realism in the 19th century, round characters gained popularity, as seen in Jane Eyre, which allowed for the exploration of personal identity and internal conflict. 18 However, not every character that appears in a story needs to be deep. 19 Imagine the main character is taking a taxi to a hotel. If we make the taxi driver a round character, the focus could shift from the main character to the taxi driver, potentially taking attention away from the main plot. 20 They together create tension and richness in a literary work. Flat characters provide clarity and focus, simplifying themes and making them accessible to readers. Meanwhile, round characters reveal human complexity, showing life beyond black and white. A．Neither type of characters is better than the other. B．Such characters stand out for complexity and depth. C．We don’t get heartfelt backstory to enrich their roles. D．If flat characters are round, they may “steal the show”. E．This shows how literature reflects evolving social views. F．Round characters are more engaging than flat characters. G．They are more like a spotlight, drawing attention to one aspect. 【答案】16．G 17．B 18．E 19．D 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了文学作品中扁平人物和圆形人物的特点及作用。 16．上文“Flat characters are defined by a singular symbolic characteristic. (扁平人物由单一的象征性特征定义)”解释了扁平人物的定义，空处应进一步说明扁平人物的特点，G选项中They指代上文提及的Flat characters，G选项“它们更像是一个聚光灯，把注意力吸引到一个方面。”解释了扁平人物就像聚光灯一样，只聚焦于一个方面，突出其单一特征，承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 17．上文“By contrast, Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber exemplifies (举例说明) round characters, defined by inner conflicts, contradictions, and personal growth. (相比之下，《红楼梦》中的贾宝玉是圆形人物的典型，以内心的冲突、矛盾和个人成长来定义)”提到圆形人物的特点，空处应进一步阐述圆形人物的这些特点，B选项“这样的人物因其复杂性和深度而脱颖而出。”强调了圆形人物的复杂性和深度，承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 18．上文“With the rise of realism in the 19th century, round characters gained popularity, as seen in Jane Eyre, which allowed for the exploration of personal identity and internal conflict. (随着19世纪现实主义的兴起，圆形人物开始流行起来，如《简·爱》所示，这使得对个人身份和内心冲突的探索成为可能)”提到了文学作品中圆形人物的流行以及现实主义的影响，空处应进一步说明这种变化的意义，E选项“这显示了文学如何反映不断变化的社会观点。”指出了文学作品与社会观点之间的关联，承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 19．上文“However, not every character that appears in a story needs to be deep. (然而，并不是故事中出现的每个角色都需要有深度)”提出了一个观点，即并非所有角色都需要有深度，空处应进一步解释这一观点，D选项“如果扁平人物变得圆润，他们可能会‘抢镜’。”说明如果扁平人物被描绘得过于复杂，可能会分散读者对主要角色的注意力，引出下文关于角色抢镜的论述“Imagine the main character is taking a taxi to a hotel. If we make the taxi driver a round character, the focus could shift from the main character to the taxi driver, potentially taking attention away from the main plot.(想象一下，主角正在乘出租车去酒店。如果我们把出租车司机变成一个圆形角色，焦点可能会从主角转移到出租车司机身上，从而可能会转移人们对主要情节的注意力)”，如果扁平人物被描绘得过于复杂，可能会分散读者对主要角色的注意力，D选项承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 20．下文“They together create tension and richness in a literary work. Flat characters provide clarity and focus, simplifying themes and making them accessible to readers. Meanwhile, round characters reveal human complexity, showing life beyond black and white. (它们共同在文学作品中创造张力和丰富性。扁平人物提供清晰和焦点，简化主题，使读者容易理解。同时，圆形人物揭示人性的复杂性，展现黑白之外的生活)”讨论了扁平人物和圆形人物在文学作品中的共同作用，空处应提出一个概括性的观点，A选项“这两种类型的角色都不比另一种好。”说明扁平人物和圆形人物在文学作品中各有其作用，共同创造张力和丰富性，没有优劣之分，强调了两种角色的平衡和互补性。故选A。 （五） （2025·江苏苏北七市联考·二模） How to appreciate a classic Classics are often seen as books read by literature majors or intellectuals.

Lack of self-worth is often the biggest roadblock on our path to living a fulfilling life. Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world. 36 It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity. 37 Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, it’s more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership, respect, and kindness. 38 We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact? Is it useful and kind? If the answer is no, then this criticism is not worth paying attention to. You alone are responsible for your self-worth. Regardless of other people’s words, thoughts, and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself. 39 Don’t wait for people to confirm your value. Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions. We all mess up sometimes — it’s part of being human. 40 It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor. There’s no point in worrying about your mistakes or upsetting over the not-so-good decisions from the past. Self-compassion is about believing that you are worthy of love regardless of what you do or fail to do. A．Don’t let your inner critic rule your thoughts. B．What matters is what you think about yourself. C．All these do not determine your value and self-worth. D．But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go. E．Treat yourself with the love and care that others give you. F．Pay attention to the perceptions about where you should be. G．Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care. 【答案】36．G 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了自我价值感对于实现充实生活的重要性，并反驳了人们常因金钱、时间和精力的缺乏而认为自己无法成功的观点。 36．根据上文“Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world.(并非我们所有人都能认识到自己的个人价值以及我们对世界所做出的贡献。)”可知，上文提到很多人没有意识到自己的个人价值和对世界的贡献。选项G“Nevertheless, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care.(然而，你可以通过自我关怀来建立自我价值感。)”与上文形成转折，引出下文关于如何建立自我价值的内容。故选G。 37．根据上文“It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity.(通过你的收入、外貌、职位头衔或社交媒体上的受欢迎程度来衡量自己的价值，这似乎是很自然的事情。)”可知，上文提到人们常通过收入、外貌等衡量自身价值。选项C“All these do not determine your value and self-worth.(但所有这些都不能决定你的价值和自我价值。)”与上文形成转折，指出这些不能决定自身价值。选项中“All these”指的是上文提到的“your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity”，符合语境。故选C。 38．根据下文“We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you. Is what you hear an objective fact? Is it useful and kind?

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. 17 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). 18 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. 19 A good deal of research is being devoted to finding a cure for allergies. 20 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】16．D 17．A 18．G 19．F 20．C 【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。 16．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。 17．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。 18．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。 19．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。 20．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。 （十） （2025·江苏泰州中学·二模） Are you struggling with low self-esteem (自尊)? If so, you may have been told to repeat phrases such as “I’m a lovable person”. 16 However, when psychologists tested the effects of such positive self-talk, they found “toxic positivity” — the phenomenon that a forced optimistic interpretation of our experiences alongside the bottling up of negative emotions can do real damage. 17 Beginning in the industrial revolution, socioeconomic goals around productivity and efficiency contributed to a culture where emotions, especially paralyzing ones like sadness, were seen as handbrakes to economic output. If someone was struggling, they were advised to have more faith rather than encouraged to explore the root causes. Science also takes some blame. Historically, psychologists didn’t consider emotions as justified phenomena to study, so there was little understanding of their significant impact on mental health. It isn’t surprising that we want to believe things will turn out better if we have positive attitude. After all, there is a growing body of research indicating that an optimistic outlook on life does have benefits, such as promoting physical health, boosting energy, and reducing stress. It also isn’t surprising that we label certain emotions, like anger, guilt, fear, and bitterness, as bad because they do feel unpleasant. 18 Nevertheless, it is becoming apparent that positivity has its limits. In 2021, a meta-analysis with more than 217, 000 participants investigated the link between optimism, pessimism and mortality. It found that an optimistic outlook was indeed associated with the lower risk of death, however, both unrealistic optimism and pessimism were linked to a higher risk of death. 19 How can we escape toxic positivity? Susan Davis from Harvard Medical School emphasizes the importance of allowing ourselves to sit with uncomfortable emotions. 20 The key to managing emotions does not lie in judging oneself for feeling negative emotions, but simply experiencing them, knowing that they will pass. A．We need to accept them as a normal part of human experience. B．Our tendency to avoid the darker aspects of human experience isn’t new. C．When we experience them, we can become consumed, disturbed or inactive. D．Neglecting negative emotions is also found to be harmful to our mental health. E．They urge us to inject a bit of positive emotion into our day to gain the benefits. F．Positive chants like this are set to boost a person’s mood and feelings of self-worth. G．We are more likely to perceive normal emotions as mental problems needing treatment. 【答案】16．F 17．B 18．C 19．D 20．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了消极情绪给人带来的影响以及应该如何应对消极情绪。 16．根据上文“Are you struggling with low self-esteem (自尊)? If so, you may have been told to repeat phrases such as “I’m a lovable person”.(你是否在与自卑作斗争？如果是这样，你可能被告知要重复诸如“我是一个可爱的人”之类的短语)”以及后文“However, when psychologists tested the effects of such positive self-talk, they found “toxic positivity” — the phenomenon that a forced optimistic interpretation of our experiences alongside the bottling up of negative emotions can do real damage.(然而，当心理学家测试这种积极的自言自语的效果时，他们发现了“有毒的积极”——一种强迫乐观地解释我们的经历，同时压抑消极情绪的现象，会造成真正的伤害)”可知，后文与本句构成转折，推测本句主要解释上文“重复诸如“我是一个可爱的人”之类的短语”这类语言的作用，F选项中Positive chants like this对应上文repeat phrases。故F选项“像这样的积极的重复话语是用来提升一个人的情绪和自我价值感的”符合语境，故选F。 17．根据本段内容“Beginning in the industrial revolution, socioeconomic goals around productivity and efficiency contributed to a culture where emotions, especially paralyzing ones like sadness, were seen as handbrakes to economic output. If someone was struggling, they were advised to have more faith rather than encouraged to explore the root causes. Science also takes some blame. Historically, psychologists didn’t consider emotions as justified phenomena to study, so there was little understanding of their significant impact on mental health.(从工业革命开始，围绕生产力和效率的社会经济目标促成了一种文化，在这种文化中，情绪，尤其是像悲伤这样的麻痹性情绪，被视为经济产出的手闸。如果有人正在挣扎，他们会被建议要有更多的信心，而不是被鼓励去探索根本原因。科学也要承担一些责任。从历史上看，心理学家并不认为情绪是一种合理的研究现象，因此人们对情绪对心理健康的重大影响知之甚少)”可知，本段主要介绍了人类回避消极情绪的历史起源，故B选项“我们回避人类经历阴暗面的倾向并不新鲜”符合语境，故选B。 18．根据上文“It also isn’t surprising that we label certain emotions, like anger, guilt, fear, and bitterness, as bad because they do feel unpleasant.(我们把某些情绪，如愤怒、内疚、恐惧和痛苦，贴上不好的标签，因为它们确实让人感到不愉快，这也不足为奇)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，上文提到了一些消极的情绪，推测本句承接上文，说明这些情绪所带来的影响，C选项中them对应上文certain emotions。故C选项“当我们经历它们的时候，我们会变得疲惫、不安或不活跃”符合语境，故选C。 19．根据上文“It found that an optimistic outlook was indeed associated with the lower risk of death, however, both unrealistic optimism and pessimism were linked to a higher risk of death. (研究发现，乐观的前景确实与较低的死亡风险有关，然而，不切实际的乐观和悲观都与较高的死亡风险有关)”可知，本句是对上文研究发现的补充说明，说明关于负面情绪的发现，D选项中also found对应上文found。故D选项“忽视负面情绪也被发现对我们的心理健康有害”符合语境，故选D。 20．根据上文“How can we escape toxic positivity? Susan Davis from Harvard Medical School emphasizes the importance of allowing ourselves to sit with uncomfortable emotions.(我们怎样才能摆脱有害的积极情绪呢？哈佛医学院的苏珊·戴维斯强调了让自己面对不舒服情绪的重要性)”以及后文“The key to managing emotions does not lie in judging oneself for feeling negative emotions, but simply experiencing them, knowing that they will pass. (管理情绪的关键不在于判断自己是否有负面情绪，而在于体验它们，知道它们会过去)”可知，上文提到让自己面对不舒服情绪的重要性，后文提到了管理方法，可知需要先接受不舒服的情绪，然后进行情绪管理。故A选项“我们需要接受它们是人类经历的正常组成部分”符合语境，故选A。 （十一） （2025·江苏盐城射阳中学·二模） Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. 16 If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it addressed as soon as possible. Caregiver stress is all too common. 17 If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. 18 When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both. 19 Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. 20 While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them. A．Taking regular holidays is also important. B．Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue? C．First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress. D．The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty. E．But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy. F．Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time. G．For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough. 【答案】16．D 17．G 18．B 19．E 20．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是照顾者压力，其影响以及如何应对这种压力。 16．根据上文“Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically.(照顾者压力是一种特别影响照顾者的压力)”可知，上文提到照顾者压力的内涵，推测本句承接上文，说明照顾者压力给患者带来的感受。故D选项“患者往往感到疲惫、烦恼甚至内疚”符合语境，故选D。 17．根据上文“Caregiver stress is all too common.(照顾者的压力太普遍了)”以及下文“If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted.(如果你需要为别人做饭，帮他们穿衣服，带他们去看医生——每天——你可能会筋疲力尽)”可知，下文提到照顾别人会导致筋疲力尽，推测本句是在说明导致疲惫的其他因素，故G选项“对我们大多数人来说，照顾自己已经够有压力、够累的了”符合语境，故选G。 18．根据上文“If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for.(如果你需要为别人做饭，帮他们穿衣服，带他们去看医生——每天——你可能会筋疲力尽。当他们独自一人的时候，你可能会担心他们。这会阻碍你做你想做的事情。甚至还有财务问题需要考虑。最重要的是，你可能会觉得不被欣赏，经常和你关心的人争吵)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，再次肯定照顾者的压力是确实存在的问题，故B选项“照顾者的压力是一个大问题，这有什么好奇怪的吗？”符合语境，故选B。 19．根据下文“Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea.(获得护理可能非常昂贵，一些家属会抵制这个想法)”可知，下文提到家属抵制寻找护理的方案，推测实施中遇到困难。故E选项“虽然这个建议在理论上听起来不错，但做起来并不容易”符合语境，故选E。 20．根据上文“Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session.(找一个发泄方式，无论是在公园散步还是在健身房锻炼)”以及下文“While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them.(虽然做这些事情你可能会感到压力，你的依赖者可能不喜欢，但这对你和你的依赖者的健康和安全都很重要。如果你精疲力尽了，那你对他们就没有任何用处了)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在说明照顾者如何照顾自我的建议，故A选项“定期休假也很重要”符合语境，故选A。 （十二） （2025·江苏南京·二模） Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost equaled cleaning in my family. As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was assigned a chore (家务活). 36 Exceptions were made of course, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities. Chores were part of my family’s way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. 37 When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. 38 Being assigned chores communicates that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof. Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. 39 I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories. 40 Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness. All these consequences would seem to tip the scales (天平) in favor of chores. A．It made sense to us, as much as we disliked it. B．They-create a sense of belonging within a family. C．Household chores were a source of great stress for us. D．Actually, doing chores alongside my family can make them a joy. E．We had to complete our assigned chore before school assignments. F．Allowing children to share burdens helps them recognize their strengths. G．It also comes as no surprise that chores are important for personal growth. 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．B 39．D 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对家务的认识及做家务带来的积极意义。 36．上文“As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was assigned a chore (家务活) .(一旦任何一个孩子能够使用抹布，他或她就会被分配一项家务活)”说明孩子会被分配家务活。下文“Exceptions were made of course, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities.(当然，也会有例外情况，但随着我们年龄的增长，父母越期望我们能平衡好这些责任)”说明随着我们年龄的增长，父母越希望我们平衡家务和其它责任。空处承接上文，说明孩子会被分配家务活，同时引出下文，说明年龄增长后需要平衡家务活和其他责任。E项“我们必须在完成学校作业之前完成我们被分配的家务活”符合语境。故选E。 37．上文 “We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age.(我们抱怨并试图逃避它们，但我们从不质疑为什么要做这些家务。作为一个家庭，我们在维持家庭顺利运转方面都有自己的角色，而且责任随着年龄的增长而增加)”说明虽然不喜欢做家务，但也接受了要做家务这件事。空处是对上文的总结。A项“尽管我们很不喜欢，但这对我们来说是有意义的。” 符合语境，it指代上文做家务这件事。故选A。 38．上文“It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks.(直到我成年后，我才意识到家务不仅仅是一长串的任务)”说明成年后对家务有了新的认识。空处应具体说明家务的意义。B项 “它们在家庭中创造了一种归属感。”阐述了家务的意义，they指代chores，符合语境。故选B。 39．上文“Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable.(处理日常家务从来都不容易，但出于对家人的爱去做这些家务，会让这件事变得可以应付)”说明出于对家人的爱做家务会变得容易接受。空处应承接上文继续说做家务的感受。D项“实际上，和我的家人一起做家务会让它们成为一种乐趣。”符合语境，该项中的“doing chores alongside my family”和上文中的“doing them out of love for my family”相呼应，说明做家务的积极体验。故选D。 40．下文“Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids' role, not to mention practicing discipline, time management, and selflessness.(家务意味着学习如何管理责任和理解孩子的角色，更不用说培养自律、时间管理和无私精神了)”说明家务对个人成长的重要性。空处应引出下文关于家务对个人成长重要性的内容。G项“家务对个人成长很重要，这也不足为奇。”符合语境，引出下文对家务在个人成长方面作用的阐述。故选G。 33 / 34 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
