No one else is responsible for your health, wealth, happiness, or success. From the day you leave your parents’ house and start to make your own choices, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make. You choose the job you work in, the person you live with, and how much you exercise every day. Only you can choose how you spend your time, and the decisions you make on a consistent basis will make or break your life. If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. You can blame other people for your lack of results or happiness all life long, but it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life, even if you can’t directly influence it. Even if it’s not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond. According to motivational speaker Brian Tracy, the biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance. If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifices, most people will never reach their full potential. Whenever you decide not to do what you should be doing, you not only waste your opportunity to grow as a person, but you also lose confidence in yourself. You start to see yourself as lazy and unsuccessful, and that self-image will become a successful prophecy. To achieve any goal you have, there are only three things you need: A clear vision for what it is that you want, a plan to get there, and massive action consistently repeated over time! While the first two parts are the easy parts of the equation, most people struggle with the last part: Hard work. There is nothing that you can’t achieve with hard work, so it is necessary that you build the habit of choosing what is hard and necessary over what is fun and easy to do. Doing this is probably the surest way to succeed in life. 【译文欣赏】 如何培养自己的自律能力？ 无论你的人生目标是什么，为了成功，你都必须遵守一条伟大的法则：没有人会替你爬上成功的阶梯。没有人对你的健康、财富、幸福或成功负责。从你离开父母家开始做出自己选择的那一天起，你就要对自己的生活和选择负责。 你可以选择你的工作，和你一起生活的人，以及你每天锻炼的时间。只有你才能选择如何利用自己的时间，你持续做出的选择将决定你的生活。 如果你想要更好的生活，你需要做出更好的决定。你可以因为自己一无所成或不够幸福而责怪别人，但这不会改变任何事。你只能通过改变自己的选择来改变你的生活。对生活中的每件事负责，即使你不能直接影响它。即使它不在你的直接控制之下，你也可以选择如何回应。 励志演讲家布赖恩·特蕾西说，通往成功的最大敌人是阻力最小的道路。如果你选择做有趣和容易的事，而不是必要的事，你将永远无法达到你在生活中能够达到的成功和幸福的水平。那是因为每一次伟大的胜利都需要巨大的牺牲。 如果成功很容易，每个人都会成功。但是，因为在生活的任何领域取得成功都需要努力付出和牺牲，所以大多数人永远无法充分发挥出他们的潜力。 每当你决定逃避你应该做的事情时，你不仅浪费了一个成长的机会，而且也失去了对自己的信心。你开始认为自己懒惰、失败，然后你就会真的自暴自弃。 要实现任何目标，你只需要做三件事：清楚你想要的是什么，一个实现目标的计划，以及随着时间的推移不断重复的大量行动！前两部分很简单，大多数人都难以做到最后一部分：努力。 没有什么是你通过努力无法实现的，因此你有必要养成习惯，选择困难和必须做的事情，而不是选择有趣和容易做的事情。这可能是通向成功最可靠的路。 【词汇积累】 ladder [ˈlædə(r)] n. 梯子 sacrifice [ˈsækrɪfaɪs] n./vt.牺牲 consistent [kənˈsɪstənt] adj.一致的；持续的 prophecy [ˈprɒfəsi] n. 预言 motivational [ˌməʊtɪˈveɪʃən(ə)l] adj.动机的 massive [ˈmæsɪv] adj. 大量的 resistance [rɪˈzɪstəns] n.反对；阻力；抵抗 consistently [kənˈsɪstəntli] adv.一贯地 【知识拓展】 无论你的人生目标是什么，要想成功，你必须遵守一条伟大的法则：没有人会替你爬上成功的阶梯。没有人会对你的健康、财富、幸福或成功负责。从你离开父母家开始做出自己的选择的那一天起，你就要对自己的生活和选择负责。 【词汇延伸】 live with 与一起生活 ; 与…同处；与同居 ; 学会去适应 javascript:make or break 成败攸关 ; 要么得冠军，要么名落孙山 高考真题链接 (2025·全国一卷·阅读理解B篇) In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 21. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents. C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters. 22. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary. C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic. 23. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing. 24. What does the author’s experience show? A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。 21.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年，在我九年级的写作课上，我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲，还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次，我暗自琢磨，这些塑造了这些人物的学生，究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知，这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选D。 22.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页，几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容，但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知，学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳，是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。 23.B 【解析】词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题，交上来的故事每篇都有10到20页长，其中的人物拓宽了我的视野，也触动了我的心)”可推知，此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事，与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的”，与B选项“Amazing (惊人的)”语义一致。故选B。 24.A ( 命题特点 推理判断题是阅读理解中难度较大的题型。它不仅要求考生理解文章的字面意思，还要 对文章的表面信息进行挖掘 ，将作者在文中没有直接说出的意思通过对细节上的暗示和语篇逻辑关系的分析，做出一定判断和推理，从而得出文章的 深层意义和隐含意义 。 推理判断题在高考中占比很重，经常达到 4-8 题甚至以上，包括 隐含意义推断题 、 观点态度推断题 、 文章出处或写作对象、目的意图推断题 和 下文预测推断题 。 命题规律 1. 文中长复合句、特殊句型处常考 2. 语言转折和强对比处常考 3. 对文章中心思想处常考 推理判断题解题思维 1.  理解文章的字面意思，从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索，打好推理判断的基础。 2.  对文字的表面信息由浅入深地进行挖掘，通过分析、综合、判定等，进行合乎逻辑的推断。不能断章取义，以偏概全，局限于肤浅的表面意思。 3.  忠实于原文，以文章提供的事实和线索为依据进行合理推断。不能主观臆想，凭空想象，随意揣测，更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点 ; 4.  把握句间、段之间的逻辑关系，了解语篇的结构和体裁。体会文章的基调，揣摸作者的态度，感悟文章的逻辑发展，揣摩作者的弦外之音。 注意： 推理判断题要在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上，把握文章的真正内涵。推理时我们务必要 忠于原文 ，在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据，准确理解文中的已知部分，再结合语境和常识推论出未知部分和作者的言外之意。 推理判断题干扰项特征 1.  主观臆断 ：根据现实生活常识推断。虽然符合考生的常识，但文中并没有支撑的依据。 2.  过度推断 ：作者并未做出评论，只是客观的陈述事实，考生进行了过度的解读和推断。 3.  以细节代替推断 ：将文章中出现的文中无关紧要或片面推出的结论，如某一处细节当作合理推断，实则是原文信息的简单重复，并不是推断出来的结论。 4.  无中生有 ：在解题时将自己的观点或社会的一种普遍性倾向而文中并无关系的观点当成作者的观点。实际上真正的答案在文章中并不能直接找到，会进行词汇的替换。             )【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，再根据文章最后一段中“I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. (我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种交流方式至关重要。然而，学生们向我展示了更为重要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时，我带着一本满是留言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义：它能连接人与人，让我们换位思考，教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知，文章通过作者的教学经历，说明她在教导学生的同时，自己也领悟到写作的真正意义，这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选项A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选A。 ( 1 ． When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. 抓标志： 从属连词 when ；连接词 how 判类型： 时间状语从句＋主句 ( 含有分词短语作状语和宾语从句 ) 试翻译：当约翰 · 托德还是个孩子的时候，他喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。 2 ． When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. 抓标志： 从属连词 when ； if ；省略的关系代词 which/that 判类型： 时间状语从句＋主句 ( 含有一个宾语从句和一个定语从句 ) 试翻译： 长大后，约翰开始思考这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的垃圾。 ) ( ① clean up 　　　　　 清理；打扫 ② a series of 一系列的，一连串的 ③ get used to 习惯于；适应于 ④ take ...as ... 把 …… 看作是 …… ⑤ take on 承担 ⑥ kind of 在某种程度上 ) 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 应用文 274 四个适合儿童的在线艺术课程平台 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 354 “门徒效应”的学习现象 Passage3 阅读理解 记叙文 317 作者和女儿通过学习算盘提升数学技能并增强自信的经历 Passage4 阅读理解 记叙文 343 作者在高中时遇到的一位优秀英语老师Mr. Jesse Barrett Passage5 阅读理解 说明文 313 孩子们在寻求帮助时对声誉的担忧 Passage6 阅读理解七选五 夹叙夹议 210 对比数字工具与手写笔记的差异 Passage7 阅读理解七选五 说明文 366 应对考试焦虑的一些实用策略 Passage8 完形填空 说明文 292 人工智能引入课程 Passage9 完形填空 记叙文 255 国际象棋思维课程 Passage10 语法天空 说明文 249 数学的历史渊源和发展 Passage 1 Four Great Online Art Classes for Kids （2024-2025学年广东河源高一下月考） Here are four of the best online art classes for kids that are either free or extremely affordable (负担得起的). Carla Sonheim’s Kid’s Week Carla Sonheim, the author of Drawing Lab, has a series of free art classes. They are taught not just by Sonheim but also by fellow artists and teachers. The classes, which all last less than an hour,only require a bit of time and basic art supplies. The classes are cool because they combine artist style with fun tasks that kids of any age can finish.   Thrive Art School Thrive Art School is an actual art school，but they have a variety of art lessons online for kids of all ages and abilities. The lessons are divided between beginner and intermediate (中级的) artists. The beginner videos help younger kids learn how to draw fish, creative castles, and dogs; the intermediate lessons provide instruction (指示) on how to draw dolphins, deer, and lions. Udemy Udemy offers art classes to kids with different skill levels. For around $15 — $20 per course, kids can learn drawing everything, and even drawing on an electronic device. Each course has a series of short lectures that kids can complete at any time, plus articles and downloadable resources. Sparketh Kids aged 6 — 18 can enjoy up to 1000 free online art classes for 30 days on Sparketh. Kids can take nature or animal drawing classes and upload their art on Sparketh. There are dozens of courses on Sparketh, so any kid could find just about anything they want to create. 1．What do kids need to do to take Carla Sonheim’s classes? A．Pay tuition fees. B．Design fun tasks. C．Prepare art supplies. D．Finish challenging tasks. 2．Which of the following should a kid choose if he likes to draw on an electronic device? A．Carla Sonheim’s Kid’s Week. B．Thrive Art School. C．Udemy. D．Sparketh. 3．What is special about Sparketh? A．Its classes are free. B．It offers classes to kids of all ages. C．Its classes are graded. D．It allows kids to upload their works. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个适合儿童的在线艺术课程平台，包括免费或低成本的课程，适合不同年龄和技能水平的孩子。 1．细节理解题。根据Carla Sonheim’s Kid’s Week标题下的“The classes, which all last less than an hour, only require a bit of time and basic art supplies.(这些课程都不到一个小时，只需要一点时间和基本的美术用品)”可知，孩子们需要准备美术用品才能上Carla Sonheim的课。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Udemy标题下的“For around 15−20 per course, kids can learn drawing everything, and even drawing on an electronic device.(每门课程大约15-20美元，孩子们可以学习画任何东西，甚至是在电子设备上画画)”可知，如果一个孩子喜欢在电子设备上画画，他应该选择Udemy。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据Sparketh标题下的“Kids aged 6-18 can enjoy up to 1000 free online art classes for 30 days on Sparketh. Kids can take nature or animal drawing classes and upload their art on Sparketh.(6-18岁的孩子可以在Sparketh上享受30天内多达1000节免费的在线艺术课程。孩子们可以参加自然或动物绘画课程，并在Sparketh上上传他们的作品)”可知，Sparketh的特别之处在于它允许孩子们上传他们的作品。故选D。 Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高一下·湖北襄阳·期末）Over breakfast this morning, after I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy (伙伴), I felt that I had mastered more than what I gained from textbook exercises. Mia, however, is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect.” According to several studies, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. Learning through teaching was relatively slow to gain popularity until a group of scientists in the United States began to test its effectiveness. In one of the first experiments, Catherine Chase and colleagues tested on 62 eighth-graders who were tasked with using a computer program to study the biological (生物学的) changes that occur when we get a fever. Over two lessons, they had to read a text and then create a mind-map explaining the different processes and the relationships between them. For half the teens, the mind-map presented the result of self-study. The others were told that their mind-map would help to teach a virtual character. It was not a big difference, but the students in the role of teacher scored significantly better. This increased participation had a big influence: both the amount they got and the depth of their understanding. At the end of the two classes, participants who had played the role of teacher had kept much more of the material, with much stronger performance on test questions. Chase’s team named this the “protege effect” and it has since been studied many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other mnemonic (助记符号) techniques like self-testing. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information, so we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken thoughts. Sharing our knowledge then helps to strengthen what we have learned. Why not try to apply the protege effect into practice? 1．Why does the author mention Mia in paragraph 1? A．To stress the importance of AI. B．To share a story of a study buddy. C．To introduce a phenomenon about study. D．To show how to finish textbook exercises. 2．What was different about the two groups in the experiment? A．They differ in learning time. B．They differ in learning tools. C．They differ in learning materials. D．They differ in learning strategies. 3．Why does the “protege effect” help learning? A．Because AI teachers explain things clearly. B．Because mind-maps make memorizing easier. C．Because teaching inspires deeper understanding. D．Because testing yourself is the best way to learn. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Learning by Teaching Helps B．Textbook Exercises Benefit More C．Mind-mapping Improves Memory D．AI Promotes Language Learning 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种名为“门徒效应”的学习现象，即通过教学他人来提升自身学习效果，用科学实验论证了其合理性，表明教学行为能激发更深的理解。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Over breakfast this morning, after I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy (伙伴), I felt that I had mastered more than what I gained from textbook exercises. Mia, however, is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect.” (今天早晨吃早餐时，我和新结识的西班牙语学习伙伴Mia简短交谈后，感觉自己掌握的知识已经超越了课本练习所得。不过，Mia其实是我为了利用“门徒效应”这个现象而创造的人工智能)”可知，作者先提到自己虚构的人工智能学习伙伴Mia，后面自然过渡到对“门徒效应”的讨论。由此可知，作者提到Mia是为了引出关于学习的一个现象。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“For half the teens, the mind-map presented the result of self-study. The others were told that their mind-map would help to teach a virtual character. (半数学生的思维导图作为自主学习成果呈现，而其余学生则被告知其制作的思维导图将用于指导虚拟角色学习)”可知，两组的差异在于学习策略不同。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information, so we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken thoughts. (当我们意识到他人将受教于己时，会产生确保信息准确的责任感，从而更主动地填补认知空白并修正错误观点)”可知，“门徒效应”有助于学习。是因为教学行为激发了更深层次的理解。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“According to several studies, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. (多项研究表明，当我们向他人讲解刚学过的知识时——即便对方并非真实存在——学习效果会显著提升)”可知，文章围绕“通过教学促进学习”，即“门徒效应”展开，用科学实验论证了其合理性，表明教学行为能激发更深的理解。因此，A项“以教促学”概括了这一现象，最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 Passage 3 （2024-2025学年高一下·湖南衡阳·期中）A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809 and 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the questions correctly. The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called the “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. From watching Stevenson, I knew that acquiring a skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My normal solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something, I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, founder of geometry (几何学), but the practice reduced my fear. Confidence grows easily on the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to go hand in hand. My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once confused her, while my older child took her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teachers. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence. 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To prove the difficulty of math. B．To introduce the topic of the abacus. C．To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D．To stress the importance of abacus learning. 2．What do we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A．He was weak in math. B．He was good at computers. C．He regarded math as useful. D．He had a close relationship with kids. 3．What did the author realize from his learning experience? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．It’s never too late to learn. C．Faith can move mountains. D．Practice makes perfect. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Secret to My Success B．A Rough Ride — Learning Math C．The Power of Learning the Abacus D．The Abacus — an Ancient Technology 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和女儿通过学习算盘提升数学技能并增强自信的经历。1．推理判断题。根据第一段“A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809 and 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the questions correctly. (几年前，我站在纽约市郊外的一间小教室里，看着一个名叫Serena Stevenson的高中生回答数学问题。老师念出一串数字——74,470、70,809和98,402——史蒂文森在脑海中将这些数字相加。对于每个问题，她都会闭上眼睛，然后右手的手指开始动起来。她大部分问题都答对了。)”和第二段“The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called the “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. (她成功的关键是一种古老的技术——算盘。史蒂文森采用了一种名为‘珠心算’的练习方法，即在脑海中想象算盘，然后用手指来解决问题。)”可知，第一段的主要目的是引入算盘这一话题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. (我是那些对数学有疑问的人之一，我感到一丝恐惧。)”可知，作者数学不好。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, founder of geometry (几何学), but the practice reduced my fear. Confidence grows easily on the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to go hand in hand. (然而，在上了几节算盘课并进行了大量练习之后，数学似乎不再那么可怕了。我并没有成为几何学的创始人Euclid，但这种练习减轻了我的恐惧。据一项研究显示，在算盘上练习能很容易地增强自信，算盘学生对即将到来的数学考试也不太可能感到紧张。部分原因似乎是练习和成果是相辅相成的。)”可知，作者从自己的学习经历中意识到熟能生巧。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第四段“Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening.

Whether we realize it or not, teachers’ influence can alter a student’s perspective on life. A great many of my previous teachers have left a lasting impression on me that will never be forgotten. One name stands out in particular, and that is Mr Jesse Barrett. Mr Barrett taught me English in high school. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better teacher. Initially, I did not enjoy English due to some teachers who constantly lectured on irrelevant topics. But Mr Barrett changed my outlook on life and helped me regain my passion for English. He never accepted late work, which taught me how to be prompt, a skill that will be beneficial when I attend college next fall. Mr Barrett loved teaching, and he would sound so excited when we read The Great Gatsby, creating an atmosphere that causes students to feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone anticipated going to class and was quick to engage in discussions about the current book. Although he was very kind and helpful, when any issue arose, he was a very strict and concerned educator. Discipline(纪律) was strictly enforced in his classroom, which inspired me to be the best student I could possibly be. Mr Barrett has a method where he asks for advice and invites students to participate in class activities. Students are divided into groups in which they can help one another answer questions. It is an exceptional way of learning English. Whether he realizes it or not, Mr Barrett has influenced me tremendously. He simply guided me toward success and I am honored to have been in such a rigorous (严格的) and competitive class. The challenge for me was really the driving force that connected me to him, because I never felt as if the work was too easy or vague. Today, I honestly still believe he has helped me in such a way that it will continue to shape my post-secondary career. 1．What does the author emphasize in the first paragraph? A．Mr Barrett’s lasting impressions on him. B．Mr Barrett’s impact on his view of life. C．Mr Barrett’s unforgettable unique name. D．Mr Barrett’s approach of teaching English. 2．Why did the author feel bored of English at first? A．Because some teachers were too hard on the students in class. B．Because some teachers made the task too vague. C．Because some teachers created a competitive atmosphere in class. D．Because some teachers often wasted time on topics off the book. 3．What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in the passage? A．Quick in action. B．Effective in learning. C．Positive in life. D．Active in communication. 4．What can we infer from the author’s success? A．A kind teacher makes his students feel easy to learn. B．A passionate teacher is inspirational to his students. C．Taking learning seriously results in excellent grades. D．The environment of a class is important to students. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者在高中时遇到的一位优秀英语老师Mr. Jesse Barrett，表达了对教师影响力的深刻感悟。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Often, we do not consider how much a teacher has influenced us. Whether we realize it or not, teachers’ influence can alter a student’s perspective on life. A great many of my previous teachers have left a lasting impression on me that will never be forgotten. One name stands out in particular, and that is Mr Jesse Barrett. Mr Barrett taught me English in high school.(很多时候，我们并没有意识到老师对我们的影响有多大。无论我们是否意识到，老师的影响都能改变学生对生活的看法。我的许多之前的老师都给我留下了难以忘怀的深刻印象。其中一个名字尤其突出，那就是 Jesse Barrett先生。Barrett先生在高中时教过我英语。)”可知，文章第一段提到，老师的影响可以改变学生对生活的看法，并特别指出Mr. Barrett给作者留下了深刻印象。故作者强调的是Mr. Barrett对他人生观的影响。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Initially, I did not enjoy English due to some teachers who constantly lectured on irrelevant topics.(起初，因为一些老师总是讲解与课本无关的内容，所以我并不喜欢英语。)”可知，作者最初不喜欢英语是因为一些老师总是讲与课本无关的内容，浪费了时间。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据文章划线词prompt前文的内容“He never accepted late work(他从不接受迟交的作业)”可知，划线词前文提到老师从不接受迟交的作业，故此处划线词prompt与A项“Quick in action(行动迅速)”意思相近，因为老师从来不接受迟交的作业，这就教会了作者快速行动的技能。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whether he realizes it or not, Mr Barrett has influenced me tremendously. He simply guided me toward success and I am honored to have been in such a rigorous (严格的) and competitive class. The challenge for me was really the driving force that connected me to him, because I never felt as if the work was too easy or vague. Today, I honestly still believe he has helped me in such a way that it will continue to shape my post-secondary career.(无论他是否意识到，Barrett先生对我产生了巨大的影响。他简单地引导我走向成功，我很荣幸能在这样一个严格且充满竞争的班级。对我来说，挑战才是真正的驱动力，让我与他紧密相连，因为我从未觉得作业过于简单或模糊。如今，我仍然真诚地相信，他以这种方式帮助了我，这将继续塑造我的大学后生涯。)”可知，作者将自己的成功归因于Mr. Barrett的热情和有效的教学方法，这表明一位有热情的老师能够激励学生，帮助他们取得进步。故选B。 Passage 5 （24-25高一下·湖北武汉·期中）Adults are often ashamed to ask for help. Seeking someone’s help can make you feel like you are broadcasting your inability. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason. Kayla Good, a graduate student at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique to learn more about how children think about reputation: Across several studies, they asked 576 children aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom genuinely wanted to be smart, and Jack only wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for help. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature — they were specially thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when it could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, the unwillingness to seek help when others are present could clearly hold back learning progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks, and ask questions. However, the situation can be difficult when someone is concerned about their impressions on others. 1．What were the children asked to predict about the two characters? A．Their bad behaviors. B．Their learning progress. C．Their likeliness to get help. D．Their potential for seeking help. 2．Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds? A．Tom. B．Jack. C．Both. D．Neither. 3．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Children never seek help when in trouble. B．Reputation concern doesn’t affect kids’ learning. C．Those caring about others’ views may progress harder. D．Challenging tasks aren’t needed for improvement. 4．What is the author’s suggestion for kids? A．Be ready to help others. B．Be brave to ask for help. C．Care more about reputation. D．Make efforts to be smarter. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了孩子们在寻求帮助时对声誉的担忧，以及这种担忧如何影响他们的学习进步。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. (在一项研究中，他们告诉孩子们两个角色的考试成绩都很差，并询问他们中哪一个更有可能在全班同学面前举手向老师寻求帮助。)”可知，研究中孩子们被询问哪个角色更有可能寻求帮助，即预测角色寻求帮助的可能性。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when assistance could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. (他们仍然可以想象杰克会寻求帮助的情况：当可以私下寻求帮助时(在电脑上而不是当面)，孩子们认为两个角色都有可能寻求帮助。)”可知，据八岁的孩子说，杰克和汤姆都可能私下寻求帮助。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“If so, the unwillingness to seek help when others are present could clearly hold back learning progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks, and ask questions. However, the situation can be difficult when someone is concerned about their impressions on others.(如果是这样的话，当别人在场时，不愿意寻求帮助显然会阻碍学习进程。要在任何领域取得进步，一个人必须努力工作，承担具有挑战性的任务，并提出问题。然而，当某人担心自己给别人的印象时，情况就会变得困难。)”可知，那些关心别人看法的人可能进步得更难。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“If so, this unwillingness to seek help when others are present could obviously impede academic progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks and ask questions. (如果是这样的话，在别人在场时不愿寻求帮助显然会阻碍学业进步。要想在任何领域取得进步，一个人必须努力工作，接受具有挑战性的任务，并提出问题。)”可推知，作者建议孩子们要勇敢地寻求帮助。故选B。 Passage 6 （24-25高一下·河南南阳·期末）Not all effective learners rely on apps. If you aim to keep knowledge long-term, handwriting notes can deepen understanding. 1 While typing on a screen, people often give preference to speed rather than reflection, but pen and paper force you to engage in a smart way. I keep a leather-bound journal and a set of colored pens in my bag. I avoid using my phone for quick notes. 2 Apps might summarize ideas for you, but they lose the personal connections your brain forms while you are writing. For complex subjects, my notebook works best. 3 It should act as a map of your thought process, showing how thoughts interlink through arrows, or highlighted keywords. Studies suggest handwritten notes help you remember things 30% better than digital ones. In addition, I own an old encyclopedia set from the 1970s. Its pages are yellowed and weak, and some entries are outdated. 4 However, when I need to learn the historical evolution of an idea or compare pre-internet views, its value becomes certain. Writing is the geometry of the soul. Modern research proves this: students who rewrite lecture notes in their own words outperform those who copy word-for-word. 5 Looking through a well-worn journal can unexpectedly inspire creativity no app can create. A．However, paper lacks search functionality. B．And the act of writing itself trains discipline. C．I rarely open these books for factual accuracy. D．Fast learning shouldn’t replace deep thinking. E．A notebook isn’t just for recording information. F．Digital tools break attention rather than focus it. G．Highlighters can’t simulate cognitive engagement. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．E 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身经历，通过对比数字工具与手写笔记的差异，强调了手写笔记的独特优势，并指出长期知识保留需要深度思考而非快速记录。 1．前文“Not all effective learners rely on apps. If you aim to keep knowledge long-term, handwriting notes can deepen understanding. (并非所有高效学习者都依赖电子应用。若想实现知识的长期留存，手写笔记能加深理解)”指出手写笔记可加深理解，助力知识留存，后文“While typing on a screen, people often give preference to speed rather than reflection, but pen and paper force you to engage in a smart way. (在电子屏幕上打字时，人们往往更追求速度而非深度思考，而纸笔却能迫使你以更智慧的方式投入学习)”对比屏幕打字和手写笔记的特点，前者追求速度，让人忽略深度思考，后者迫使人投入学习，因此D项“Fast learning shouldn’t replace deep thinking. (快速学习不应取代深度思考)”符合语境，指出深度思考的重要性，承前启后，其中的deep thinking与前文的deepen understanding呼应。故选D。 2．前文“I avoid using my phone for quick notes. (我避免使用手机来快速记录笔记)”提到作者不用手机做快速笔记的习惯，后文“Apps might summarize ideas for you, but they lose the personal connections your brain forms while you are writing. (应用软件或许能为你总结观点，但会丧失你在写作时大脑建立起的个人化联想)”指出应用软件无法助力个人化联想的建立，因此F项“Digital tools break attention rather than focus it. (数字工具会分散注意力而非集中注意力)”符合语境，解释为何作者偏好手写，起到过渡作用。故选F。 3．后文“It should act as a map of your thought process, showing how thoughts interlink through arrows, or highlighted keywords. (它应该像一张思维导图，通过箭头或高亮关键词来展示不同想法之间的关联)”说明笔记本应用于展现思维间的联系，因此E项“A notebook isn’t just for recording information. (笔记本不仅用于记录信息)”符合语境，引出后文的功能拓展。故选E。 4．前文“In addition, I own an old encyclopedia set from the 1970s. Its pages are yellowed and weak, and some entries are outdated. (此外，我还收藏了一套20世纪70年代的旧百科全书。书页已经泛黄脆弱，部分条目内容也已过时)”提到旧百科全书部分内容过时，后文“However, when I need to learn the historical evolution of an idea or compare pre-internet views, its value becomes certain. (然而，当我需要追溯某个概念的演变历程，或是比较互联网时代之前的观点时，它的价值就显现无遗)”指出旧百科全书独特的价值，因此C项“I rarely open these books for factual accuracy. (我很少为了事实准确性翻阅这些书)”符合语境，说明该书的局限性，承接前文，和后文构成转折。故选C。 5．后文“Looking through a well-worn journal can unexpectedly inspire creativity no app can create. (翻阅一本被翻旧的笔记本，常能意外激发任何应用程序都无法复制的创作灵感)”指出手写笔记可以激发创造力，因此B项“And the act of writing itself trains discipline. (书写行为本身训练自律性)”符合语境，补充手写的额外益处，引出后文的激发灵感。故选B。 Passage 7 （24-25高一下·山东临沂·阶段练习）Are school tests a challenge for you? Are you worried about getting through your next test? Here are some strategies that can help you. Don’t overthink it. If you spend too long thinking about a test, you can focus too much on the wrong things. For example: What if I fail? What if I miss the bus that day? 1 Instead, take a few deep breaths and start preparing calmly. 2 They can tell you how the test result reflects your learning progress. You may find that the result is just a step in your study journey, and it doesn’t define your overall ability. Maybe it won’t change much in your current situation, so there’s no need to be overly anxious. Teachers are experienced and can offer valuable advice tailored to your needs. Remember to check test details. Find out when a test will be and how long it will last and if the teacher has any requirements for the way you should write your answers on the test paper. 3 Knowing whether you need a calculator, extra paper, or a specific type of pen in advance will save you from last-minute troubles.

I 1 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 2 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t excited enough about free credits, news about our 3 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 4 I would be learning from one of the game’s best. I could hardly wait to meet him. Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 5 was no game for him: he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 6 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 7 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 8 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, eventually, to our lives.

But it’s 1 (wide) accepted that math is inside us. However, does the truth lie somewhere between the stark choice of being invented or discovered? 2 (understand) the truth better, let’s try to understand exactly how old math really is. The tale of mathematics is as old as humanity. It has gradually evolved from simple mathematics, such as 3 (count) cows, to the complex study of an object through the abstract concepts we know today. It was not until 600 BC, when civilizations settled and various occupations began, 4 math began its initial development. It 5 (use) to measure plots, calculate the taxation of individuals, etc. Later, in 500 BC, we saw the development of Roman numerals, which 6 (be) still used to represent numbers today. Scientists believe that thousands of years ago, basic mathematical functions like addition and subtraction (减法) might have appeared at 7 same time, but in different places, like India, Egypt and Mesopotamia. 8 (advance) math dates back to Greece over 2500 years ago, when mathematician Pythagoras put forward his famous equation. It was about the 9 (side) of a right-angle triangle (直角三角形) , which we now study as the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理). 10 then on, more mathematicians started working on expanding their understanding of mathematics. Yet, no one could find the one true answer to the big question. 【答案】1．widely 2．To understand 3．counting 4．that 5．was used 6．are 7．the 8．Advanced 9．sides 10．From 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了数学的历史渊源和发展。 1．考查副词。句意：但人们普遍认为数学存在于我们体内。空处修饰动词accepted，应用副词形式，故填widely。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了更好地理解真相，让我们试着理解数学到底有多古老。结合句意可知，此处表示目的，使用动词不定式作目的状语，故填To understand。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：它已经逐渐从简单的数学，比如数牛，发展到通过我们今天所知道的抽象概念对一个物体进行复杂的研究。空处作介词as的宾语，应用动名词形式，故填counting。 4．考查强调句型。句意：直到公元前600年，当文明定居下来，各种职业开始出现时，数学才开始了它最初的发展。本句是强调句型“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who(被强调部分是人时可用who)+其他”，本句中被强调部分是时间状语，故填that。 5．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：它被用来测量地块，计算个人税收等。be used to do sth“被用来做某事”，且句子是描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语表示单数意义，故填was used。 6．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：后来，在公元前500年，我们看到了罗马数字的发展，今天仍然用来表示数字。which指代先行词Roman numerals，表示复数意义，结合today可知从句描述现在的情况，使用一般现在时，故填are。 7．考查冠词。句意：科学家认为，几千年前，基本的数学函数，如加减法，可能同时出现，但在不同的地方，如印度、埃及和美索不达米亚。at the same time“同时”，固定短语，故填the。 8．考查形容词。句意：高等数学可以追溯到2500多年前的希腊，当时数学家毕达哥拉斯提出了他著名的方程式。空处修饰名词math，应用形容词作定语。位于句首，首字母应大写，故填Advanced。 9．考查名词复数。句意：它是关于一个直角三角形的边，也就是我们现在学习的勾股定理。根据“a right-angle triangle (直角三角形)”可知，直角三角形不止一条边，故此处使用名词复数形式，故填sides。 10．考查介词。句意：从那时起，更多的数学家开始致力于扩大他们对数学的理解。from then on“从那时起”，首字母应大写，故填From。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 5 / 30 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Back to school 重返校园 话题阅读精练 单元引言解读 In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous --Aristotle 在自然界的所有事物中，总有奇妙之处。 ---亚里士多德 该句出自古希腊哲学家亚里士多德。他是古希腊哲学的集大成者，与苏格拉底、柏拉图并称“古希腊三贤”。这句话引导人们要通过不断探索去发现并欣赏大自然的奇妙之处。 主题词汇积累 时文拓展阅读 No matter what your goals are in life, there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful: No one else is going to climb the ladder of success for you. No one else is responsible for your health, wealth, happiness, or success. From the day you leave your parents’ house and start to make your own choices, you are responsible for your life and the choices you make. You choose the job you work in, the person you live with, and how much you exercise every day. Only you can choose how you spend your time, and the decisions you make on a consistent basis will make or break your life. If you want a better life, you need to make better decisions. You can blame other people for your lack of results or happiness all life long, but it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life, even if you can’t directly influence it. Even if it’s not in your direct control, you can always choose how you respond. According to motivational speaker Brian Tracy, the biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance. If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacrifice. If success was easy, everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifices, most people will never reach their full potential. Whenever you decide not to do what you should be doing, you not only waste your opportunity to grow as a person, but you also lose confidence in yourself. You start to see yourself as lazy and unsuccessful, and that self-image will become a successful prophecy. To achieve any goal you have, there are only three things you need: A clear vision for what it is that you want, a plan to get there, and massive action consistently repeated over time! While the first two parts are the easy parts of the equation, most people struggle with the last part: Hard work. There is nothing that you can’t achieve with hard work, so it is necessary that you build the habit of choosing what is hard and necessary over what is fun and easy to do. Doing this is probably the surest way to succeed in life. 【译文欣赏】 如何培养自己的自律能力？ 无论你的人生目标是什么，为了成功，你都必须遵守一条伟大的法则：没有人会替你爬上成功的阶梯。没有人对你的健康、财富、幸福或成功负责。从你离开父母家开始做出自己选择的那一天起，你就要对自己的生活和选择负责。 你可以选择你的工作，和你一起生活的人，以及你每天锻炼的时间。只有你才能选择如何利用自己的时间，你持续做出的选择将决定你的生活。 如果你想要更好的生活，你需要做出更好的决定。你可以因为自己一无所成或不够幸福而责怪别人，但这不会改变任何事。你只能通过改变自己的选择来改变你的生活。对生活中的每件事负责，即使你不能直接影响它。即使它不在你的直接控制之下，你也可以选择如何回应。 励志演讲家布赖恩·特蕾西说，通往成功的最大敌人是阻力最小的道路。如果你选择做有趣和容易的事，而不是必要的事，你将永远无法达到你在生活中能够达到的成功和幸福的水平。那是因为每一次伟大的胜利都需要巨大的牺牲。 如果成功很容易，每个人都会成功。但是，因为在生活的任何领域取得成功都需要努力付出和牺牲，所以大多数人永远无法充分发挥出他们的潜力。 每当你决定逃避你应该做的事情时，你不仅浪费了一个成长的机会，而且也失去了对自己的信心。你开始认为自己懒惰、失败，然后你就会真的自暴自弃。 要实现任何目标，你只需要做三件事：清楚你想要的是什么，一个实现目标的计划，以及随着时间的推移不断重复的大量行动！前两部分很简单，大多数人都难以做到最后一部分：努力。 没有什么是你通过努力无法实现的，因此你有必要养成习惯，选择困难和必须做的事情，而不是选择有趣和容易做的事情。这可能是通向成功最可靠的路。 【词汇积累】 ladder [ˈlædə(r)] n. 梯子 sacrifice [ˈsækrɪfaɪs] n./vt.牺牲 consistent [kənˈsɪstənt] adj.一致的；持续的 prophecy [ˈprɒfəsi] n. 预言 motivational [ˌməʊtɪˈveɪʃən(ə)l] adj.动机的 massive [ˈmæsɪv] adj. 大量的 resistance [rɪˈzɪstəns] n.反对；阻力；抵抗 consistently [kənˈsɪstəntli] adv.一贯地 【知识拓展】 无论你的人生目标是什么，要想成功，你必须遵守一条伟大的法则：没有人会替你爬上成功的阶梯。没有人会对你的健康、财富、幸福或成功负责。从你离开父母家开始做出自己的选择的那一天起，你就要对自己的生活和选择负责。 【词汇延伸】 live with 与一起生活 ; 与…同处；与同居 ; 学会去适应 javascript:make or break 成败攸关 ; 要么得冠军，要么名落孙山 高考真题链接 (2025·全国一卷·阅读理解B篇) In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change. As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human. 21. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1? A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents. C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters. 22. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay? A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary. C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic. 23. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing. 24. What does the author’s experience show? A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep. C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.

Passage 2 （2024-2025学年高一下·湖北襄阳·期末）Over breakfast this morning, after I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy (伙伴), I felt that I had mastered more than what I gained from textbook exercises. Mia, however, is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect.” According to several studies, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. Learning through teaching was relatively slow to gain popularity until a group of scientists in the United States began to test its effectiveness. In one of the first experiments, Catherine Chase and colleagues tested on 62 eighth-graders who were tasked with using a computer program to study the biological (生物学的) changes that occur when we get a fever. Over two lessons, they had to read a text and then create a mind-map explaining the different processes and the relationships between them. For half the teens, the mind-map presented the result of self-study. The others were told that their mind-map would help to teach a virtual character. It was not a big difference, but the students in the role of teacher scored significantly better. This increased participation had a big influence: both the amount they got and the depth of their understanding. At the end of the two classes, participants who had played the role of teacher had kept much more of the material, with much stronger performance on test questions. Chase’s team named this the “protege effect” and it has since been studied many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other mnemonic (助记符号) techniques like self-testing. If we know that others are going to learn from us, we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information, so we make a greater effort to fill in the gaps in our understanding and correct any mistaken thoughts. Sharing our knowledge then helps to strengthen what we have learned. Why not try to apply the protege effect into practice? 1．Why does the author mention Mia in paragraph 1? A．To stress the importance of AI. B．To share a story of a study buddy. C．To introduce a phenomenon about study. D．To show how to finish textbook exercises. 2．What was different about the two groups in the experiment? A．They differ in learning time. B．They differ in learning tools. C．They differ in learning materials. D．They differ in learning strategies. 3．Why does the “protege effect” help learning? A．Because AI teachers explain things clearly. B．Because mind-maps make memorizing easier. C．Because teaching inspires deeper understanding. D．Because testing yourself is the best way to learn. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Learning by Teaching Helps B．Textbook Exercises Benefit More C．Mind-mapping Improves Memory D．AI Promotes Language Learning Passage 3 （2024-2025学年高一下·湖南衡阳·期中）A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. A teacher read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809 and 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She answered most of the questions correctly. The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson used a practice called the “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her fingers to work out the problems. From watching Stevenson, I knew that acquiring a skill at the abacus was more than a matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My normal solution was escape, and if I had to calculate something, I would go online. Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, founder of geometry (几何学), but the practice reduced my fear. Confidence grows easily on the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and results appear to go hand in hand. My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math problems that once confused her, while my older child took her abacus to school to show it to her classmates and teachers. These were just small successes for them, but that was how they finally developed confidence. 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To prove the difficulty of math. B．To introduce the topic of the abacus. C．To show the cleverness of Stevenson. D．To stress the importance of abacus learning. 2．What do we know about the author from Paragraph 3? A．He was weak in math. B．He was good at computers. C．He regarded math as useful. D．He had a close relationship with kids. 3．What did the author realize from his learning experience? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．It’s never too late to learn. C．Faith can move mountains. D．Practice makes perfect. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Secret to My Success B．A Rough Ride — Learning Math C．The Power of Learning the Abacus D．The Abacus — an Ancient Technology Passage 4 （24-25高一下·广东汕头·期中）Often, we do not consider how much a teacher has influenced us. Whether we realize it or not, teachers’ influence can alter a student’s perspective on life. A great many of my previous teachers have left a lasting impression on me that will never be forgotten. One name stands out in particular, and that is Mr Jesse Barrett. Mr Barrett taught me English in high school. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better teacher. Initially, I did not enjoy English due to some teachers who constantly lectured on irrelevant topics. But Mr Barrett changed my outlook on life and helped me regain my passion for English. He never accepted late work, which taught me how to be prompt, a skill that will be beneficial when I attend college next fall. Mr Barrett loved teaching, and he would sound so excited when we read The Great Gatsby, creating an atmosphere that causes students to feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone anticipated going to class and was quick to engage in discussions about the current book. Although he was very kind and helpful, when any issue arose, he was a very strict and concerned educator. Discipline(纪律) was strictly enforced in his classroom, which inspired me to be the best student I could possibly be. Mr Barrett has a method where he asks for advice and invites students to participate in class activities. Students are divided into groups in which they can help one another answer questions. It is an exceptional way of learning English. Whether he realizes it or not, Mr Barrett has influenced me tremendously. He simply guided me toward success and I am honored to have been in such a rigorous (严格的) and competitive class. The challenge for me was really the driving force that connected me to him, because I never felt as if the work was too easy or vague. Today, I honestly still believe he has helped me in such a way that it will continue to shape my post-secondary career. 1．What does the author emphasize in the first paragraph? A．Mr Barrett’s lasting impressions on him. B．Mr Barrett’s impact on his view of life. C．Mr Barrett’s unforgettable unique name. D．Mr Barrett’s approach of teaching English. 2．Why did the author feel bored of English at first? A．Because some teachers were too hard on the students in class. B．Because some teachers made the task too vague. C．Because some teachers created a competitive atmosphere in class. D．Because some teachers often wasted time on topics off the book. 3．What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in the passage? A．Quick in action. B．Effective in learning. C．Positive in life. D．Active in communication. 4．What can we infer from the author’s success? A．A kind teacher makes his students feel easy to learn. B．A passionate teacher is inspirational to his students. C．Taking learning seriously results in excellent grades. D．The environment of a class is important to students. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·湖北武汉·期中）Adults are often ashamed to ask for help. Seeking someone’s help can make you feel like you are broadcasting your inability. New research suggests young children don’t seek help in school for the same reason. Kayla Good, a graduate student at Stanford University, and Alex Shaw, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, applied a classic technique to learn more about how children think about reputation: Across several studies, they asked 576 children aged four to nine, to predict the behavior of two characters, Tom and Jack, in a story. Tom genuinely wanted to be smart, and Jack only wanted to seem smart to others. In one study, they told children both characters did poorly on a test, and asked which of them would be more likely to raise their hands in front of their class to ask the teacher for help. The four-year-olds were equally likely to choose either of the two characters as the one who would seek help. But by age seven or eight, children thought Jack would be less likely to ask for help. And children’s expectations were truly “reputational” in nature — they were specially thinking about how the characters would act in front of peers. They could still imagine situations where Jack would seek help: when it could be sought privately (on a computer rather than in person), children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it. Given the findings, it seems quite possible that when children themselves are the ones struggling, they, too, might avoid seeking out help if they are concerned about reputation. If so, the unwillingness to seek help when others are present could clearly hold back learning progress. To improve in any field, one must work hard, take on challenging tasks, and ask questions. However, the situation can be difficult when someone is concerned about their impressions on others. 1．What were the children asked to predict about the two characters? A．Their bad behaviors. B．Their learning progress. C．Their likeliness to get help. D．Their potential for seeking help. 2．Who was likely to seek private aid according to the eight-year-olds? A．Tom. B．Jack. C．Both. D．Neither. 3．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Children never seek help when in trouble. B．Reputation concern doesn’t affect kids’ learning. C．Those caring about others’ views may progress harder. D．Challenging tasks aren’t needed for improvement. 4．What is the author’s suggestion for kids? A．Be ready to help others. B．Be brave to ask for help. C．Care more about reputation. D．Make efforts to be smarter. Passage 6 （24-25高一下·河南南阳·期末）Not all effective learners rely on apps. If you aim to keep knowledge long-term, handwriting notes can deepen understanding. 1 While typing on a screen, people often give preference to speed rather than reflection, but pen and paper force you to engage in a smart way. I keep a leather-bound journal and a set of colored pens in my bag. I avoid using my phone for quick notes. 2 Apps might summarize ideas for you, but they lose the personal connections your brain forms while you are writing. For complex subjects, my notebook works best. 3 It should act as a map of your thought process, showing how thoughts interlink through arrows, or highlighted keywords. Studies suggest handwritten notes help you remember things 30% better than digital ones. In addition, I own an old encyclopedia set from the 1970s. Its pages are yellowed and weak, and some entries are outdated. 4 However, when I need to learn the historical evolution of an idea or compare pre-internet views, its value becomes certain. Writing is the geometry of the soul. Modern research proves this: students who rewrite lecture notes in their own words outperform those who copy word-for-word. 5 Looking through a well-worn journal can unexpectedly inspire creativity no app can create. A．However, paper lacks search functionality. B．And the act of writing itself trains discipline. C．I rarely open these books for factual accuracy. D．Fast learning shouldn’t replace deep thinking. E．A notebook isn’t just for recording information. F．Digital tools break attention rather than focus it. G．Highlighters can’t simulate cognitive engagement. Passage 7 （24-25高一下·山东临沂·阶段练习）Are school tests a challenge for you? Are you worried about getting through your next test? Here are some strategies that can help you. Don’t overthink it. If you spend too long thinking about a test, you can focus too much on the wrong things. For example: What if I fail? What if I miss the bus that day? 1 Instead, take a few deep breaths and start preparing calmly. 2 They can tell you how the test result reflects your learning progress. You may find that the result is just a step in your study journey, and it doesn’t define your overall ability. Maybe it won’t change much in your current situation, so there’s no need to be overly anxious. Teachers are experienced and can offer valuable advice tailored to your needs. Remember to check test details. Find out when a test will be and how long it will last and if the teacher has any requirements for the way you should write your answers on the test paper. 3 Knowing whether you need a calculator, extra paper, or a specific type of pen in advance will save you from last-minute troubles. This information also helps you plan your study time effectively. Revise if you want to. Some people choose to revise for tests. However, not everyone prefers to revise, and that is OK, too. If you do want to revise, design a workable schedule for your revision and stick to it. There are different ways to revise. You could create flash cards to test your knowledge of facts, ask a friend to test you on what you’ve both learnt, and explain what you’ve learnt to an adult to practice your explaining skills. 4 Get everything ready the night before so you feel organized, and remember to take a water bottle. On the day of the test, make sure you eat a healthy breakfast and allow plenty of time to reach school. Wish your friends good luck and be confident — you can do this! 5 A．These negative thoughts will only increase your stress and harm your performance. B．It’s a good idea to review your class notes regularly. C．Talk to your teachers if you really want to understand the significance of a test result. D．Different revision methods work for different people, so pick the one that suits you best. E．You should also think about joining a study group for better study results. F．Also, double-check the necessary test materials and equipment. G．These simple preparations will make you feel more relaxed and ready on test day. Passage 8 （24-25高一下·河南南阳·阶段练习）Beijing is bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into classrooms to get students ready for the future. Starting this fall, primary and secondary schools in the capital will 1 at least eight class hours of AI instruction every year. Students will learn to use chatbots, know about basic AI technology, and talk about its 2 use. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission encourages schools to either mix AI with subjects like science or teach it 3 , hoping to make a long-term curriculum plan. As early as in 2017, the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan 4 the base by making AI courses necessary in schools. Building on these foundations, the 2022 national IT curriculum made AI a (an) 5 content in the IT lessons. In February 2024, the Ministry of Education 6 184 schools to test AI programs. Education Minister Huai Jinpeng called AI a “golden key” for modern education. Many Chinese tech 7 , like DeepSeek’s Liang Wenfeng, graduated from top universities such as Zhejiang University. By teaching AI from primary school early, Beijing hopes to train more 8 innovators. Meanwhile, 9 countries are also bringing AI to students. Estonia worked with OpenAI to 10 ChatGPT Edu for high school students. South Korea uses AI-powered textbooks, and a UK school tried “teacherless” classes with VR headsets. In the U.S., tools like AI Reader help students study. However, China is still careful about 11 technological progress and ethical principles. The government made 12 rules to ensure AI tools follow socialist core values. The United Nations’ call for humanity-centered AI is 13 with China’s educational idea of training both 14 and virtue, just like China’s way of all-around development. 15 AI becomes increasingly integrated into education, it is crucial to balance innovation with moral responsibility. 1．A．demand B．offer C．cancel D．delay 2．A．proper B．limited C．secret D．expensive 3．A．naturally B．equally C．separately D．lonely 4．A．destroyed B．ignored C．set D．forgot 5．A．required B．elected C．expected D．forced 6．A．closed B．selected C．fined D．avoided 7．A．pioneers B．teachers C．patients D．tourists 8．A．clever B．free C．experienced D．young 9．A．the other B．others C．other D．another 10．A．arrange B．furnish C．deliver D．provide 11．A．ignoring B．balancing C．hating D．delaying 12．A．strict B．loose C．rough D．difficult 13．A．in comparison B．in contact C．in conflict D．in line 14．A．appearance B．talent C．behavior D．friendship 15．A．When B．If C．Unless D．As Passage 9 （24-25高一下·湖北武汉·阶段练习）During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 1 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 2 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t excited enough about free credits, news about our 3 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 4 I would be learning from one of the game’s best. I could hardly wait to meet him. Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 5 was no game for him: he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 6 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 7 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 8 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, eventually, to our lives. I managed to get an A in that courses and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 9 . Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I’m still putting to use what he 10 me: “The absolute most important 11 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 12 . On every single move you have to 13 a situation, process what your opponent is doing and 14 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 15 as a journalist. 1．A．put forward B．jumped at C．tried out D．turned down 2．A．waste B．earn C．save D．pay 3．A．title B．competitor C．textbook D．instructor 4．A．urged B．demanded C．held D．meant 5．A．chance B．qualification C．honor D．job 6．A．real B．perfect C．clear D．possible 7．A．attend B．pass C．skip D．observe 8．A．add B．expose C．apply D．compare 9．A．criterion B．classroom C．department D．situation 10．A．taught B．wrote C．questioned D．promised 11．A．fact B．step C．manner D．skill 12．A．grades B．decisions C．impressions D．comments 13．A．analyze B．describe C．rebuild D．control 14．A．announce B．signal C．block D．evaluate 15．A．role B．desire C．concern D．behavior Passage 10 (2024-2025学年浙江省北斗联盟高一下学期4月期中英语试题) Philosophers believe that mathematics exists outside of us, independent of our minds. But it’s 1 (wide) accepted that math is inside us. However, does the truth lie somewhere between the stark choice of being invented or discovered? 2 (understand) the truth better, let’s try to understand exactly how old math really is. The tale of mathematics is as old as humanity. It has gradually evolved from simple mathematics, such as 3 (count) cows, to the complex study of an object through the abstract concepts we know today. It was not until 600 BC, when civilizations settled and various occupations began, 4 math began its initial development. It 5 (use) to measure plots, calculate the taxation of individuals, etc. Later, in 500 BC, we saw the development of Roman numerals, which 6 (be) still used to represent numbers today. Scientists believe that thousands of years ago, basic mathematical functions like addition and subtraction (减法) might have appeared at 7 same time, but in different places, like India, Egypt and Mesopotamia. 8 (advance) math dates back to Greece over 2500 years ago, when mathematician Pythagoras put forward his famous equation. It was about the 9 (side) of a right-angle triangle (直角三角形) , which we now study as the Pythagorean theorem (勾股定理). 10 then on, more mathematicians started working on expanding their understanding of mathematics. Yet, no one could find the one true answer to the big question. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 14 / 16 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
