体裁:记叙文 词数:248 主题:人与社会 错误带来的意外收获
Having settled in Hotel Courtyard in Bangkok, we explored the city immediately. We went shopping for the whole day and finally we decided to return.
It was at that time that the trouble started. We forgot there are two courtyard hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk. 1
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
2 It was closed for redecoration. Unfortunately, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
3 He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. 4 For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him.
Sometimes when everything doesn’t go as planned, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. 5
A.That was when our hero arrived.
B.Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C.We reached a completely different Hotel Courtyard.
D.We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E.We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F.The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G.He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.
【答案】1.E 2.C 3.A 4.B 5.G
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者一帮人在曼谷入住万怡酒店后迷路,误到另一家同名酒店,遇热心司机带我们游玩,感悟错误有时带来意外收获。
1.根据前文“Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk.(谷歌地图给我们推荐了最短的路线,步行只要20分钟。)”提到谷歌地图显示步行 20 分钟就能回去,以及后面“Bangkok felt different after sunset.( 日落之后的曼谷感觉不一样。)”描述日落时走在路上的情景,E项“We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.( 我们决定不浪费钱而是浪费时间。)”这里表明选择步行回去,符合上下文语境。故选E项。
2.根据前面“Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.( 我们沉浸在谈话中,没有意识到我们走到了镇上比较安静的地方。)”说走到了城镇安静的地方,以及后面“It was closed for redecoration.( 因重新装修而关闭。)”说到达的地方在重新装修,C项“We reached a completely different Hotel Courtyard.( 我们到达了一个完全不同的万怡酒店。)”因为走错路所以到了另一家同名酒店,能很好地衔接上下文。故选C项。
3.根据前面“We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.( 我们不知道自己身在何处,我们的手机几乎没电了。)”描述陷入困境,手机快没电且不知道在哪,以及后面“He was a taxi driver.( 他是一个出租车司机。)”提到出现了一个出租车司机,A项“That was when our hero arrived.( 就在那时我们的英雄来了。)”这里将出租车司机比作英雄,引出下文。故选A项。
4.根据上文“He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay.( 他真好,主动提出在我们剩下的逗留时间里开车载我们四处转转。)”讲的是出租车司机很善良,提出在接下来的停留时间开车带我们四处转转,B项“Our thankfulness knew no bounds.( 我们的感激之情无以言表。)”符合对司机帮助的回应。故选B项。
5.根据上文“Sometimes when everything doesn’t go as planned, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results.( 有时候,当一切都没有按计划进行时,我会想起我们在街上遇到的陌生人,以及我们的一个小小的错误是如何导致意想不到的结果的。)”讲的是因为一个小错误却有了意外的经历,遇到了善良的司机。G项“He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.( 然后他告诉我们,我们住的旅馆就在几个街区之外。)”承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进。故选G项。

体裁:说明文 词数:261 主题:人与自我 拍摄烟花照片的技巧
Photographing fireworks can be challenging, but with the right techniques you can produce some explosive photos. Here we share tips and tricks for getting inspired to shoot this nighttime event.
Bring the right equipment
Leave the flash at home, but pack a tripod (三脚架). 6 . Your camera or phone can be easily fooled by the dramatically different exposure between the night sky and bright fireworks, so be in manual (手动) mode. There are paid and free apps for phones that allow for longer shutter speeds and multiple exposures: search “manual camera” in your app store.
Arrive early to find a proper location
7 . Are there buildings nearby to give your image context? Will the fireworks reflect into the water when they go off? Manually set the focus for your scene before it gets dark. Focus on an area of sky where the fireworks will be. 8 .
Consider people in your composition
Take time to turn around and make some images of onlookers. 9 , think about interesting ways to show his or her shape against the bright fireworks. When people are the main subject of your shot, expose for the faces, rather than the light source, to avoid fooling the light meter.
10
The focal length (焦距) you need depends on your distance from the fireworks and what you’re trying to photograph. If you want a tight shot that shows detail, you will use a lens that goes to at least 200mm. And you need to turn your autofocus off once you’ve determined your distance.
A.Try varying your shots.
B.In the case of the style of photography.
C.Get your camera set up in the limited time.
D.If you want to place a person in the composition.
E.It will give you stability and let you shoot long exposures.
F.Once the fireworks start, you’ll be ready to start shooting.
G.Before the show begins, survey the background of the scene.
【答案】6.E 7.G 8.F 9.D 10.A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了拍摄烟花照片的技巧,包括携带合适设备、提前选好位置、考虑人物构图以及尝试不同拍摄方式等内容。
6.上文“Leave the flash at home, but pack a tripod (三脚架).(把闪光灯留在家里,但带上三脚架)”提到要带三脚架,E选项“It will give you stability and let you shoot long exposures(它会给你稳定性,让你进行长时间曝光拍摄)”解释了带三脚架的好处,“It”指代上文的“tripod”,上下文逻辑紧密。故选E项。
7.下文“Are there buildings nearby to give your image context? Will the fireworks reflect into the water when they go off?(附近有没有建筑物来为你的照片增添背景?烟花燃放时会倒映在水里吗?)”是在询问拍摄场景的背景情况,G选项“Before the show begins, survey the background of the scene(在表演开始前,观察一下场景的背景)”引出下文对场景背景的考虑,上下文衔接自然。故选G项。
8.上文“Manually set the focus for your scene before it gets dark. Focus on an area of sky where the fireworks will be.(在天黑前手动设置好场景的焦点。聚焦在烟花将会出现的天空区域)”说明了提前设置焦点的操作,F选项“Once the fireworks start, you’ll be ready to start shooting(一旦烟花开始燃放,你就可以准备开始拍摄了)”承接上文,表明做好前期准备后,烟花开始就能拍摄了,上下文逻辑合理。故选F项。
9.下文“think about interesting ways to show his or her shape against the bright fireworks(想想有趣的方法,在明亮的烟花衬托下展现他或她的轮廓)”提到要考虑在烟花背景下展现人物,D选项“If you want to place a person in the composition(如果你想在画面中安排一个人)”引出下文关于人物构图的内容,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
10.下文“The focal length (焦距) you need depends on your distance from the fireworks and what you’re trying to photograph. If you want a tight shot that shows detail, you will use a lens that goes to at least 200mm.(你需要的焦距取决于你与烟花的距离以及你想要拍摄的内容。如果你想要一个显示细节的近距离拍摄,你将使用至少200mm的镜头)”说明了焦距选择要根据不同情况变化,要尝试不同的拍摄方式,A选项“Try varying your shots(尝试不同的拍摄方式)”总领下文,强调要尝试不同的拍摄,包括焦距等方面的变化,上下文逻辑清晰。故选A项。

体裁:说明文 词数:286 主题:人与自我 挤出时间锻炼的简单方法
After a busy day at work, the thought of an intense workout routine may not sound appealing to everyone. 11 It doesn’t require spending money on an expensive gym membership or training for long-distance running. Here, we share several simple ways to make time for exercise with a busy schedule.
● Early Mornings
12 You can use these early starts as a way to get in some valuable “me-time”. Just ten minutes of yoga, or a quick walk in your morning routine can boost your energy levels. You will feel more productive and start the day off on a positive note.
● Exercise on Your Way
Consider using your daily travel to work as a chance to stay active. 13 For public transport users, simply get off a stop or two early to add more steps. You might also inquire about workplace cycling programs — an excellent way to improve fitness while helping to reduce your carbon footprint..
● Get Outside
Use your lunch break as an opportunity to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and recharge your brain. 14 Research suggests a gentle lunchtime walk in nature can have a positive impact on mood, increase energy levels and help with feelings of anxiety and stress.
● Micro Workouts
Micro workouts, also called “exercise snacks”, are short periods of exercise you can do anytime you have a few free minutes. For example, when watching TV at home, use a mat and do knee bends and leg stretches during commercials. While waiting for water to boil or food to heat, try standing toe raises or wall push-ups. 15
Daily exercise can be easy and quick. Pick fun activities to stay active. Stay healthy even when busy.
A.But staying active can be simple.
B.If possible, try walking instead of driving.
C.Early workouts may not appeal to late risers.
D.Morning body movement eases you into the day.
E.Even a short walk outdoors is good for your body and mind.
F.Actually, nature walks help wake up your creative thinking.
G.These short exercises need no equipment and work anywhere.
【答案】11.A 12.D 13.B 14.E 15.G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要针对工作忙碌的人,介绍了几种在繁忙日程中挤出时间锻炼的简单方法,包括利用清晨时间、在上班途中锻炼、午休时外出以及进行微型锻炼等。
11.根据上文“After a busy day at work, the thought of an intense workout routine may not sound appealing to everyone.(在忙碌一天的工作后,高强度的锻炼计划对每个人来说可能听起来并不吸引人)” 及下文 “It doesn't require spending money on an expensive gym membership or training for long-distance running.(它不需要花钱办理昂贵的健身房会员或进行长跑训练)”可知,选项与上文为转折关系,且承接下文说明保持活力可以很简单。故A选项“但保持活力其实很简单。”符合语境,与段尾“Here, we share several simple ways to make time for exercise with a busy schedule.(我们分享几个简单的方法,让你在繁忙的日程中挤出时间锻炼。)”中的“several simple ways to make time for exercise”相呼应。故选A。
12.根据下文“Just ten minutes of yoga, or a quick walk in your morning routine can boost your energy levels. You will feel more productive and start the day off on a positive note.(早上常规活动中,仅仅十分钟的瑜伽或快速散步就能提升你的精力水平。你会感觉更有成效,并以积极的状态开始新的一天)” 可知,后文说清晨的瑜伽或散步能提升精力,所以此处应是说清晨身体活动的重要性。故D选项“早晨的身体运动能让你轻松地进入一天。”符合语境。故选D。
13.根据上文 “Consider using your daily travel to work as a chance to stay active.(考虑把你日常上班的行程当作保持活力的一个机会)”可知,选项承接上文,说明上班出行方式的建议。B选项“如果可能的话,试着走路而不是开车”符合语境,呼应下文。故选B。
14.小标题“Get Outside”以及上文 “Use your lunch break as an opportunity to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and recharge your brain.(利用你的午休时间作为一个呼吸新鲜空气、伸展腿部和给大脑充电的机会)”建议利用午休时间进行简短户外运动;E选项“即使是短时间的户外散步对你的身心都有好处。”承接上文,说明简短户外活动的益处,对应下文“Research suggests a gentle lunchtime walk in nature can have a positive impact on mood, increase energy levels and help with feelings of anxiety and stress.(研究表明,午餐时间在大自然中散步可以对情绪产生积极影响,增加能量水平,帮助缓解焦虑和压力。)”中的研究结论。故选E。
15.上文“Micro workouts, also called “exercise snacks”, are short periods of exercise you can do anytime you have a few free minutes. For example, when watching TV at home, use a mat and do knee bends and leg stretches during commercials. While waiting for water to boil or food to heat, try standing toe raises or wall push-ups.(微型锻炼,也称为‘锻炼零食’,是你在有几分钟空闲时间时随时可以进行的短时间锻炼。例如,在家看电视时,在广告时间用垫子做屈膝和腿部伸展运动。在等水开或食物加热时,尝试做站立提踵或靠墙俯卧撑)”阐述什么是“微型锻炼”,并举例说明如何进行“微型锻炼”,G选项“这些简短的锻炼不需要任何设备,可以在任何地方进行”总结说明上文锻炼活动的特性,符合语境。故选G。

体裁:说明文 词数:244 主题:人与社会 五个具体策略帮助读者优雅拒绝
Practical Tips for Declining Without Guilt
Saying “no” can feel like an impossible task, even when we know it’s necessary. Psychologists explain that this difficulty often stems from fear of being seen as unkind or damaging relationships. However, constantly saying “yes” can lead to burnout and neglect priorities. 16 Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.
Be intentional about your response.
When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.” 17
Buy time.
If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time. 18 Phrases like “Let me check my schedule and get back to you” allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.
Stay neutral in delivery.
Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact. 19 For instance, declining a favor in the same tone you’d use to order coffee keeps the interaction neutral and avoids guilt.
20
Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, “Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.”
A.Say no to everything.
B.Visualize your priorities.
C.Empathize, but stick to your original answer.
D.A delayed response can prevent hasty decisions.
E.Over-explaining your reasons builds mutual trust.
F.Learning to decline effectively is a skill worth mastering.
G.This approach prevents misunderstandings and maintains mutual respect.
【答案】16.F 17.G 18.D 19.C 20.B
【解析】这是一篇说明文,文章围绕“如何不带愧疚地拒绝他人”展开,探讨了人们因害怕被视作不友善或破坏关系而难以说“不”的心理根源,并提出五个具体策略帮助读者优雅拒绝。
16.上文“However, constantly saying ‘yes’ can lead to burnout and neglect priorities.(然而,不断地说‘是’会导致倦怠和忽视优先事项)”指出过度妥协的危害,下文“Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.(这里有五个专家支持的策略来帮助你优雅地拒绝)”指出有五个有帮助的策略,空处需承上启下,F项“学会有效地拒绝是一项值得掌握的技能”既呼应前文问题,又为下文策略作出铺垫,逻辑连贯,故选F。
17.根据上文“When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.”(说‘不’的时候,要说明你的决定不是针对个人的。康奈尔大学教授Vanessa Bohns建议先感谢对方。然后,做一个简短的解释。例如,‘我很感谢你的邀请,但我现在不能接受这个。’)”可知,本段的策略强调拒绝时需强调“非针对个人”,并以感谢和简短解释为例,G项“这种方式避免了误解,保持了相互尊重”直接说明该策略的效果——防止误解并维持尊重,故选G。
18.根据上文“If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time.(如果你在遇到困难的时候总是不小心说“是”,那就想办法争取时间)”和下文“Phrases like ‘Let me check my schedule and get back to you’ allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.(像“让我看看我的日程安排,然后再给你答复”这样的话可以让你有时间私下评估这个要求。这样可以减少压力,帮助你做出明智的选择)”可知,本段描述的策略是“争取时间”,核心是避免冲动答应,D项“延迟的反应可以防止草率的决定”精准概括该段核心逻辑,且后文举例进一步支持此观点,故选D。
19.根据本段小标题“Stay neutral in delivery.(在言辞中保持中立)”和上文“Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact.(临床心理学家Ellen Hendriksen建议避免过度道歉。相反,你应该平静地拒绝,就像陈述一个简单的事实一样)”可知,本段描述的策略是“保持中立态度”,避免过度道歉,C项“要有同理心,但要坚持你最初的答案”与本段主题呼应,故选C。
20.根据本段内容“Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, ‘Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.’(放一张照片或一件物品,提醒你什么是最重要的——家庭、爱好或个人目标。当你想说‘是’的时候,这种视觉暗示会增强你的决心。正如Bohns所说,‘答应一件事就意味着拒绝另一件事。’)”可知,本段提出通过视觉提醒(如照片)坚定拒绝的决心,B项“视觉化你的优先级”直接概括该段主题,且与文中“提醒重要事项”的内容一致,故选B。

体裁:记叙文 词数:299 主题:人与自我 因环境改变而改变
It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced. 1
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 2 With enthusiasm, I expected my attitude would also change. Instead, the first surprising realization of my travel journey had hit: despite changing my formal suits to casuals, I was the exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. 3 While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. After six years abroad, realism is now the primary message I share.
4 Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads. 5 At-home life and life on the road can at times feel shockingly similar, or, if bad work habits take over, even worse. It’s an important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your surroundings will change, but you take you everywhere that you go. No matter how ultra-light you pack.
A.And my surroundings looked different.
B.But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C.This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D.New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E.Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.
F.You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G.Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.G 4.E 5.F
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名数字游民的生活经历。作者原本以为改变工作环境和生活方式会让自己焕然一新,但很快意识到,尽管外在环境变了,自己还是那个自己,工作习惯和态度并没有因为环境的改变而改变。
1.根据前文“It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced.(吃晚饭的时间到了,但我还没有完成一天的工作。愉快地享受假日时光的人们在我周围嘁嘁喳喳地叫着。但是当我低着头戴着耳机的时候,我几乎没有和他们交流过。这一天过得更像是一段快进的视频,而不是我真正经历过的事情。)”以及第二段首句“This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. (这是我过数字游牧生活的第一周。)”可知,此处描述的是作者过数字游民一周的生活情况。B选项“But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.( 但这并不是在朝九晚五的办公室工作。)”中的this指代的是作者经历的一周数字游民生活,与朝九晚五的生活是不同的,该选项符合语境。故选B。
2.根据前文“I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. (我离开了公司,在网上找到了一份自由撰稿人的工作,这样我就可以自由地旅行了。)”以及后文“With enthusiasm, I expected my attitude would also change.(怀着热情,我期待着自己的态度也会改变。)”可知,自从作者离开了公司成为自由撰稿人之后,其周围的环境发生了变化,同时期待着自己的态度也发生了变化,此处的also与设空处发生的变化形成并列。A选项“And my surroundings looked different.( 我周围的环境看起来不一样了。)”指出作者成为自由撰稿人之后,周围环境发生了变化,与后文形成呼应,符合语境。故选A。
3.根据前文“I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism(我兴奋地已经准备着在网上浏览有关数字游牧的信息。)”以及根据后文“While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. (尽管你可能会认为财务问题是这种生活方式的最大的难题,但不切实际的期望通常是我听到的最常见的致命一击。在国外生活六年后,现实主义现在是我分享的主要信息。)”可知,作者兴奋的已经做好了过数字游民的准备,可是实际生活中不切实际的期望打败了作者,作者没有对现实生活有着充分的准备和认知。G选项“Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.(然而,不知何故,我无意中过度消费了期望,而对现实主义的消费却不足。)”与前文构成转折关系,指出虽然作者做好了准备,可是作者却对现实中的消费准备不足,因此作者最终被不切实际的期望打败了。该选项符合语境,承接前后文。故选G。
4.根据后文“Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. (你可以在俯瞰地中海的阳台或马拉喀什中心阳光明媚的屋顶上工作,而不是在办公室里工作。你不用在咖啡机旁等待,旁边是抱怨的同事,你每天的咖啡之行将带你沿着尘土飞扬的鹅卵石街道走进小咖啡馆。)”可知,此处描述的是成为数字游民后的环境所发生的具体的改变。E选项“Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.(如果你选择成为一个数字游民,你的环境将会改变。)”引起下文,指出如果选择成为数字游民环境将会发生改变。故选E。
5.根据前文“But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads.(但这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部。)”可知,成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外,这并不是新数字游民所期待的全部,后文应该指出还有其他的内容。F选项“You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.(你醒来时仍然会发现收件箱里有邮件,待办事项等着你去处理。)”可知,成为新数字游民除了工作环境和生活方式会发生变化之外,收件箱里依旧还有邮件和待办事项等着你去处理,这些也是新数字游民生活所应期待的一部分,该选项符合语境。故选F。

Their brain has been practicing in switching from one language to the other daily. When the brain gets used to this demanding job of switching from one language to another, it isn’t difficult for them to use this skill in other tasks, too.(很少有人擅长同时处理多项任务。然而,对于双语者来说,这种情况往往并不适用。在处理多项任务方面,他们是其中最熟练的一群人。他们的大脑一直在练习每天在两种语言之间进行切换。当大脑习惯了这种从一种语言转换到另一种语言的繁重任务后,他们就能在其他任务中也运用这种技能了)”可知,这一段讲的是双语者的多任务处理能力,提到他们的大脑经常在两种语言之间切换,这有助于他们在其他任务中也能表现得更好。故B选项“它有助于培养多任务处理能力”符合语境,故选B。

Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader. 11 So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them. Here is the guide to getting your voice heard at meetings.
Come prepared. Have some talking points planned out before you express your idea. Practice with a trusted colleague who can help you iron out any problems. Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea. 12 What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?
Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening. 13 people are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.
14 People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more. When you give them time to ask questions, they’ll be more interested, attentive, and engaged. The more you can engage them, the more they’ll truly listen.
Have confidence in yourself. The more you believe in yourself, the more that shows through when you express an idea. People can hear the confidence in your voice when you speak and see it in your body language. If you allow yourself to think that you’re nervous, you’ll convince yourself to be. Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose. 15
A.Time is precious.
B.Make it a conversation.
C.Speak with elegance and intention.
D.Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.
E.It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.
F.Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.
G.This is how you show value and make a positive impression.
【答案】11.D 12.F 13.A 14.B 15.E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了如何在会议中有效表达自己的观点,从而获得他人的注意和认可。文章提供了五个具体的建议,包括充分准备、简洁明了、控制时间、互动交流以及保持自信。
11.前文“Meetings are a key way to get yourself noticed. When you “hold your own” in a meeting, you show that you’re confident, and this can mark you out as a future leader.(会议是让自己引人注目的关键途径。当你在会议上“保持自信”时,你展现出了自信,这能让你成为未来的领导者。)”提到会议是展示自己的重要场合,后文“So no matter how many great ideas you have in your head, they’re useless to you, your team, and your organization until you express them.(因此,无论你脑子里有多少伟大的想法,除非你表达出来,否则它们对你、你的团队和你的组织来说都是无用的。)”强调如果不表达出来,想法就毫无价值。由此可知,前后是转折关系,空处应指出他人无法直接了解你的想法。D项“Unluckily, your colleagues can’t read minds.(不幸的是,你的同事无法读懂你的想法)”符合,引起下文,故选D。
12.前文“Imagine the possible reactions people might have to your idea.(想象一下人们对你的想法可能会有的反应)”建议预想他人对你想法的反应,后文“What are some questions that might come up in response to your idea? How will you answer those questions?(针对你的想法,可能会提出哪些问题?你将如何回答这些问题?)”进一步说明要从不同的角度思考可能的问题。由此可知,空处应强调从多角度思考问题。F项“Look at it from as many other perspectives as possible.(尽可能从其他角度看待它)”符合,故选F。
13.前文“Get to the point. Engage people in with the main points of the idea, then dive into the details. When you start strong you’ll give them a reason to continue listening.(直奔主题用核心观点吸引听众,再深入细节。强有力的开场能让他们有理由继续倾听。)”强调要简洁明了地表达观点,后文“People are overwhelmed with numerous things to do at work. While the eight second attention span may be a myth, people certainly appreciate brevity (简短) now more than ever.(工作中人们常被琐事淹没。虽然“8秒注意力”可能是谣言,但如今人们比以往更看重简洁。)”说明现代人时间有限,更看重简短表达。由此可知,空处应点明时间的重要性。A项“Time is precious.(时间很宝贵)”符合,故选A。
14.后文“People lose interest when they’re listening to a long talk. Invite them to be a part of your idea. Organize your argument in a way that makes them want to ask questions and learn more.(冗长的发言会让人失去兴趣。邀请他人参与你的想法,用激发提问的方式组织论述。)”指出长篇大论会让人失去兴趣,建议通过互动提升参与感。由此可知,空处应提出将表达转化为对话。B项“Make it a conversation.(让它成为一场对话)”符合,故选B。
15.前文“Fight nerves by taking a few moments to stand in a power pose.(用力量姿势站立片刻来对抗紧张。)”提到用“能量姿势”缓解紧张,空处应需补充这一行为的作用。E项“It gives you time to quiet your mind and focus.(它能让你有时间平静思绪并集中注意力)”说明其效果,符合语境,故选E。

体裁:说明文 词数:280 主题:人与社会 改善健康的方法
One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to improve their health is attempting too many sudden and great changes. Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable. 16 Here are some practical yet powerful tips to help you:
Start with small, achievable goals.
17 For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. These minor adjustments prevent burnout while steadily improving your strength and endurance.
18
Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. For example, swap soda for sparkling water with lemon, or replace white bread with whole-grain alternatives. Small, sustainable changes lead to lasting results without the frustration of yo-yo dieting.
Prioritize sleep for overall well-being.
In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment. 19 Sleep deprivation weakens immunity, increases stress hormones, and even contributes to weight gain. To improve sleep quality, establish a calming bedtime routine — dim the lights, avoid screens an hour before bed, and keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends.
Stay active throughout the day.
Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. 20 Simple activities like walking during phone calls or doing light stretches can boost energy, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity.
A.Be consistent rather than extreme.
B.Focus on nutrition, not just dieting.
C.Listen to your body’s needs and adjust accordingly.
D.It can help reduce stress and improves circulation.
E.The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived.
F.Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals.
G.You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price.
【答案】16.E 17.F 18.B 19.G 20.D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述人们改善健康常因极端改变失败,建议从小目标、重营养、优先睡眠、日常活动等可持续习惯入手。
16.由上文“Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable.(速成节食、极端锻炼计划或突然的睡眠调整往往会失败,因为它们难以持续。)”可知,此处指出极端改变的弊端,空格处需引出可持续习惯的重要性,E项“The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived.(最好的习惯是那些你可以在不感到匮乏的情况下维持的习惯。)”符合语境,unsustainable与maintain形成对比,引出下文的建议。故选E项。
17.由下文“For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. (例如,他们希望在没有事先训练的情况下每天跑5英里。相反,他们应该从可控的步骤开始——走楼梯而不是电梯,或者每天早上做10分钟的伸展运动。)”可知,此处举例说明目标过高的问题,F项“Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals.(许多人因为一开始目标过高而气馁。)”阐述目标过高造成的问题,符合语境,too high goals直接对应后文“跑5英里” 的例子,解释“气馁”的原因,引出“从小目标开始”的解决方案。故选F项。
18.由下文“Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. (对饮食过于严格往往会适得其反。这通常会导致体重迅速回升和沮丧。与其禁止食物,不如专注于添加更多完整、营养丰富的选择,如蔬菜、瘦肉蛋白和健康脂肪。)”可知,此段讨论饮食调整的策略,B项Focus on nutrition, not just dieting.(关注营养,而不仅仅是节食。)符合语境,nutrition对应后文“添加蔬菜、瘦肉蛋白等”,not just dieting否定“禁止食物”的极端做法,总领段落核心观点。故选B项。
19.由上文“In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment.(在当今快节奏的世界里,睡眠常常为了效率或娱乐而被牺牲。)”可知,此处指出睡眠被忽视的现象,空格处需说明牺牲睡眠的后果,G项You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price.(你可能认为少睡点没关系,但你的身体会付出代价。)符合语境,it 指代前文sleep,pays the price衔接后文“免疫力下降、压力激素增加”等具体危害,形成因果关系。故选G项。
20.由上文“Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. (长时间坐着与血液循环不良、背痛和代谢问题有关。如果你有一份案头工作,设置提醒,让你每小时站起来移动一次。)”可知,此处强调日常活动的重要性,空格处需说明活动的益处,D项It can help reduce stress and improves circulation.(它可以帮助减轻压力并改善血液循环。)符合语境,it指代前文move every hour,improves circulation直接回应上文poor circulation的问题,补充说明活动的积极效果。故选D项。

Having settled in Hotel Courtyard in Bangkok, we explored the city immediately. We went shopping for the whole day and finally we decided to return.
It was at that time that the trouble started. We forgot there are two courtyard hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk. 1
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
2 It was closed for redecoration. Unfortunately, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
3 He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. 4 For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him.
Sometimes when everything doesn’t go as planned, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. 5
A.That was when our hero arrived.
B.Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C.We reached a completely different Hotel Courtyard.
D.We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E.We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F.The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G.He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.

体裁:说明文 词数:261 主题:人与自我 拍摄烟花照片的技巧
Photographing fireworks can be challenging, but with the right techniques you can produce some explosive photos. Here we share tips and tricks for getting inspired to shoot this nighttime event.
Bring the right equipment
Leave the flash at home, but pack a tripod (三脚架). 6 . Your camera or phone can be easily fooled by the dramatically different exposure between the night sky and bright fireworks, so be in manual (手动) mode. There are paid and free apps for phones that allow for longer shutter speeds and multiple exposures: search “manual camera” in your app store.
Arrive early to find a proper location
7 . Are there buildings nearby to give your image context? Will the fireworks reflect into the water when they go off? Manually set the focus for your scene before it gets dark. Focus on an area of sky where the fireworks will be. 8 .
Consider people in your composition
Take time to turn around and make some images of onlookers. 9 , think about interesting ways to show his or her shape against the bright fireworks. When people are the main subject of your shot, expose for the faces, rather than the light source, to avoid fooling the light meter.
10
The focal length (焦距) you need depends on your distance from the fireworks and what you’re trying to photograph. If you want a tight shot that shows detail, you will use a lens that goes to at least 200mm. And you need to turn your autofocus off once you’ve determined your distance.
A.Try varying your shots.
B.In the case of the style of photography.
C.Get your camera set up in the limited time.
D.If you want to place a person in the composition.
E.It will give you stability and let you shoot long exposures.
F.Once the fireworks start, you’ll be ready to start shooting.
G.Before the show begins, survey the background of the scene.

After a busy day at work, the thought of an intense workout routine may not sound appealing to everyone. 11 It doesn’t require spending money on an expensive gym membership or training for long-distance running. Here, we share several simple ways to make time for exercise with a busy schedule.
● Early Mornings
12 You can use these early starts as a way to get in some valuable “me-time”. Just ten minutes of yoga, or a quick walk in your morning routine can boost your energy levels. You will feel more productive and start the day off on a positive note.
● Exercise on Your Way
Consider using your daily travel to work as a chance to stay active. 13 For public transport users, simply get off a stop or two early to add more steps. You might also inquire about workplace cycling programs — an excellent way to improve fitness while helping to reduce your carbon footprint..
● Get Outside
Use your lunch break as an opportunity to get some fresh air, stretch your legs and recharge your brain. 14 Research suggests a gentle lunchtime walk in nature can have a positive impact on mood, increase energy levels and help with feelings of anxiety and stress.
● Micro Workouts
Micro workouts, also called “exercise snacks”, are short periods of exercise you can do anytime you have a few free minutes. For example, when watching TV at home, use a mat and do knee bends and leg stretches during commercials. While waiting for water to boil or food to heat, try standing toe raises or wall push-ups. 15
Daily exercise can be easy and quick. Pick fun activities to stay active. Stay healthy even when busy.
A.But staying active can be simple.
B.If possible, try walking instead of driving.
C.Early workouts may not appeal to late risers.
D.Morning body movement eases you into the day.
E.Even a short walk outdoors is good for your body and mind.
F.Actually, nature walks help wake up your creative thinking.
G.These short exercises need no equipment and work anywhere.

Practical Tips for Declining Without Guilt
Saying “no” can feel like an impossible task, even when we know it’s necessary. Psychologists explain that this difficulty often stems from fear of being seen as unkind or damaging relationships. However, constantly saying “yes” can lead to burnout and neglect priorities. 16 Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.
Be intentional about your response.
When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.” 17
Buy time.
If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time. 18 Phrases like “Let me check my schedule and get back to you” allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.
Stay neutral in delivery.
Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact. 19 For instance, declining a favor in the same tone you’d use to order coffee keeps the interaction neutral and avoids guilt.
20
Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, “Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.”
A.Say no to everything.
B.Visualize your priorities.
C.Empathize, but stick to your original answer.
D.A delayed response can prevent hasty decisions.
E.Over-explaining your reasons builds mutual trust.
F.Learning to decline effectively is a skill worth mastering.
G.This approach prevents misunderstandings and maintains mutual respect.

It was dinner time, yet I hadn’t finished my work for the day. Cheery people who were enjoying their holiday time buzzed around me. But with my head down and headphones in, I had interacted with very few of them. The day passed more like a fast-forwarded video than something that I actually fully experienced. 1
This was my first week living the digital nomad lifestyle. I had left my corporate role and found freelance (自由职业的) writing work online to afford me the freedom to travel. 2 With enthusiasm, I expected my attitude would also change. Instead, the first surprising realization of my travel journey had hit: despite changing my formal suits to casuals, I was the exact same person I had been at home.
I had prepared excitedly, surfing online about digital nomadism. 3 While you might expect finances to be the biggest killer of this lifestyle, unrealistic expectations are the death blow that I hear about most often. After six years abroad, realism is now the primary message I share.
4 Instead of an office room, you’ll work from a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean or a sunny rooftop in the heart of Marrakesh. Instead of waiting at the coffee machine next to complaining colleagues, your daily coffee run will lead you down dusty cobblestone streets into tiny cafes. These dreams exist and are waiting for you once you clear customs.
But that’s not all that’s waiting for new digital nomads. 5 At-home life and life on the road can at times feel shockingly similar, or, if bad work habits take over, even worse. It’s an important expectation to understand before you set out on your digital nomad lifestyle: your surroundings will change, but you take you everywhere that you go. No matter how ultra-light you pack.
A.And my surroundings looked different.
B.But this wasn’t at a tiring nine-to-five office job.
C.This was a typical day back in my office I managed to escape.
D.New surroundings may also make you fully engaged in your work.
E.Should you choose to become a digital nomad, your environment will change.
F.You’ll still wake up with emails in your inbox and to-dos begging to be handled.
G.Yet somehow I unknowingly over-consumed expectation and under-consumed realism.
