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 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·全国二卷·阅读理解C篇) When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 28．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss. C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well. 29．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment. C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity. 30．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability. C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home 【答案】28．D 29．D 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究，说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响，以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时，她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反：订单如潮水般涌来，仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知，Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时，并没有抱太大希望，但实际情况是订单很多，生意出奇地好。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示：“身处植物周围的学生，其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高，病假率降低，因此，“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说：“医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它，但如果它枯萎了，就再养一株新的。”)”可知，Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 命题特点 主旨大意题考查的是考生对文章内容的深层次理解,它要求考生在充分理解全文的前提下,对整篇文章的主旨大意有一个较为清晰的印象。主旨大意题不仅考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,也对考生的归纳、概括能力提出了较高的要求。文章中没有明显的解题依据,需要考生从文章中提炼、抽取一些关键词、主干句进行加工概括,才能归纳出文章的主旨。 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 主旨大意题解题思维 1.梳理文章结构，抓核心信息 快速浏览全文，关注首尾段（通常为主题段）、各段首尾句（通常为段落主旨句），标记高频出现的核心词（或同义词），这些词往往是文章主题的关键词； 2. 总结段落大意，提炼共性 逐段概括主要内容（用 1-2 句话总结），再分析各段之间的逻辑关系（如并列、递进、对比等），找出贯穿全文的核心思想； 3. 关注作者意图与情感基调 通过动词、形容词、副词等情感词判断作者的态度（如肯定、否定、中立），进而把握文章的写作目的（如说明现象、论证观点、呼吁行动等）； 4. 验证选项的全面性与精准性 最佳选项应简洁明了，能准确涵盖全文核心内容。 注意：对于议论文，主旨通常是作者的核心观点；对于说明文，主旨通常是说明的对象及核心特征；对于记叙文，主旨通常是通过故事传达的道理或情感； 若文章无明显主题句，需综合全文信息 “自下而上” 归纳，避免遗漏关键段落的核心内容。 主旨大意题干扰项特征 1.过于片面（仅涵盖部分段落内容，未概括全文）； 2.过于宽泛（超出文章讨论范围，涵盖无关内容）； 3. 与原文主旨相悖（与作者观点或核心信息冲突）。       1．Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces. 抓标志：连接词 that；关系代词 who 判类型：主句（Our study showed...）＋that 引导的宾语从句（there was a 30% decrease...），宾语从句中含 who 引导的定语从句（修饰先行词 people） 试翻译：我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。 2．Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. 抓标志：并列连词and…and…；省略的关系代词that/which 判类型：并列句（三个简单句并列；第三个简单句含定语从句it takes…省略that/which） 试翻译：医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。 ①be flooded with　　　　收到大量（订单/消息等） ②lead to　　　　　　　　导致，引发 ③in fashion　　　　　　 流行，时髦 ④report a higher ... rating　报告更高的……评分 ⑤change one’s mood　　　改变某人的情绪 ⑥translate into　　　　　转化为 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage 1 阅读理解 寓言故事 420 讲述了一块普通陶土经历磨难最终成为承载珍贵百合花的花盆，领悟自身价值的故事 Passage 2 阅读理解 夹叙夹议文 383 成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，强调自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要 Passage 3 阅读理解 说明文 332 矿业公司案例证明群体智慧胜过专家 Passage 4 阅读理解 记叙文 281 新西兰室内设计师蒂娜·琼斯通过创建Facebook群组，简化志愿活动，激励他人参与社区公益 Passage 5 阅读理解 记叙文 308 作者10岁时与吉他结缘，它伴随其成长，带来快乐并连接他人 Passage 6 阅读理解 说明文 342 说“不”虽让部分人不适，但有明显益处，介绍了“三明治方法”等说“不”的方式，还强调要留意其负面效应 Passage 7 阅读理解 说明文 321 解释睡前使用手机等电子设备影响睡眠的原因，并提供了改善睡眠的建议，如使用闹钟、进行无电子设备的睡前活动等 Passage 8 阅读理解 议论文 326 在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性 Passage 9 阅读理解 说明文 355 主要介绍密码管理器的功能、作用及安全性，说明其如何帮助用户提升网络安全 Passage 10 完形填空 记叙文 251 讲述了作者通过聘请编辑Jasmine Gower来改进自己的故事，并最终成功出版并获得读者好评的经历。 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·江苏镇江·期末）There was a handful of common clay in the bank of a river. But it had high thoughts of its own value, and wonderful dreams of the great place which it was to fill in the world when the time came for its virtues to be discovered. One day the clay felt itself carried far away over a rough and stony road. But it was not discouraged, for it said to itself: “This is necessary. The path to glory is always rugged. Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world.” But the hard journey was nothing, compared with the suffering that came after it. The clay was put into a container and mixed and beaten. It seemed almost unbearable. But there was comfort in the thought that something very fine and noble was certainly coming out of all this trouble. The clay felt sure that, if it could only wait long enough, a wonderful reward was in store for it. Then an unknown hand put it into an oven, and fires were kindled about it — fierce and penetrating. But through all, the clay held itself together and endured its trials, in the confidence of a great future. At last the baking was finished. The clay was set down upon a board, in the cool air, under the blue sky. The suffering was passed. The reward was at hand. Then the clay saw the reward of all its patience and pain — a common flower-pot, straight and ugly. It felt that it was not destined for a king’s house, nor for a palace of art, because it was made without glory or beauty or honor. Many days it passed in depression. After a while it was filled with earth, and something was buried into the middle of the earth. After that, it was set in a greenhouse, where the sunlight fell warm upon it, and day by day as it waited, something was stirring within it — a new hope. Still it was ignorant, and knew not what the new hope meant. One day the clay was carried into a great church. It had a fine part to play in the world. Glorious music flowed over it. Still it could not understand. The other vessel told it, “You are carrying a royal lily, and the heart of it is like pure gold. The people look toward you because the root of it is in your heart.” Then the clay was content, because, though an earthen pot, it held so great a treasure. 1．How did the clay feel when it was carried over a rough and stony road? A．Calm and ambitious B．Excited and joyful C．Confident and hopeful D．Expectant and persistent 2．What motivated the clay to endure the harsh treatments based on paragraphs 3-4? A．The firm belief that its sufferings would lead to a rewarding future. B．The assumption that it would be decorated carefully after the baking. C．The thought that its sufferings were necessary to gain a special shape. D．The expectation that the trials would shape it into a noble and useful object. 3．What can be inferred from the clay’s final role? A．Location decides an object’s worth. B．Ordinary forms can hold great value. C．Grand expectations always come true. D．Suffering always brings instant rewards. 4．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A．No pain, no gain. B．Slow and steady wins the race. C．Every cloud has a silver lining. D．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事。文章主要讲述了一块普通陶土经历磨难最终成为承载珍贵百合花的花盆，领悟自身价值的故事。 1．细节理解题。 根据第二段中“But it was not discouraged, for it said to itself: ‘This is necessary. The path to glory is always rugged. Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world.’(但它并不气馁，因为它对自己说：‘这是必要的。通往荣耀的道路总是崎岖不平的。现在，我正要在这个世界上扮演一个重要的角色。’)”可知，当陶土被搬运在崎岖不平的路上时，它感到自信且充满希望。故选C。 2．细节理解题。 根据第三段中“But there was comfort in the thought that something very fine and noble was certainly coming out of all this trouble.(但一想到所有这些麻烦中一定会产生出非常美好和高尚的东西，它就感到安慰)”和第四段中“But through all, the clay held itself together and endured its trials, in the confidence of a great future.(但尽管如此，陶土还是坚持了下来，忍受了考验，坚信未来是美好的)”可知，陶土忍受苛刻待遇的动机是坚信苦难会带来美好的未来。故选A。 3．推理判断题。 根据最后一段中“Then the clay was content, because, though an earthen pot, it held so great a treasure.(然后陶土满足了，因为，虽然它只是一个土盆，却盛着如此珍贵的宝物)”可知，从陶土的最终角色可以推断出平凡的形式也可以承载巨大的价值。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。 本文通过陶土经历磨难最终成为承载珍贵百合花的花盆的故事，传达了平凡之物也能拥有非凡价值的道理，与“Every cloud has a silver lining(乌云背后总有一线阳光)”的寓意相吻合，适合作为标题。A项“没有付出就没有收获”侧重于努力与回报的关系，未突出平凡与非凡的对比；B项“稳扎稳打终获胜”强调过程稳健，与文意不符；D项“不要过早乐观”与故事积极向上的主旨相悖。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·黑龙江牡丹江·期末）When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. I felt sharp pain in my fingers as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz, and my left hand ached as I tried. Although I failed several times, I worked my way through ‘Rain’ and ‘Love Me Do’ and discovered the thrill of homemade musical harmony. The sense of happiness I felt that week has stayed with me. Fifty years later, I am still not a very good guitar player, but that week’s work and the years of self-directed practice on the instrument became a model for almost every meaningful thing I’ve done since. It gave me confidence that passion and patience can make one master any task. As graduates walk into the world, most think hard about what they might do with their lives. So it seems suitable now to talk about a distinction that I first recognized in that bedroom. It’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment. Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. As a parent now, I’ve seen the pure satisfaction of accomplishment arise in my own children. More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. It turns out that the steps he has taken in life that led him eventually to take graduate degrees in philosophy began with his childhood passion for magic. The concentration and subtlety (敏锐) of mind required to master some knowledge of philosophy can be rooted more readily in Dai Vernon’s magic than in getting straight A’s. Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. 5．What do we know about the 12-year-old author? A．He didn’t like music lessons. B．He left home with his guitar. C．He discovered his talent for music. D．He was injured while playing the guitar. 6．Why is accomplishment better than achievement according to the author? A．It is easier for graduates. B．It focuses on individuals. C．It brings you true happiness. D．It makes you more successful. 7．What was the author’s attitude to his son’s passion for magic? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Skeptical. D．Dismissive. 8．What does the author mainly want to convey in the text? A．Magic tricks might be the key to academic success. B．Accomplishment is more difficult than achievement. C．Your childhood interests can influence your future choices. D．Self-directed accomplishment is vital for personal growth. 【答案】5．A 6．C 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中作者结合自身和儿子的经历，阐述了成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，强调自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中“When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. (十二岁那年，我带着一把四十美元的民谣吉他和一本披头士歌谱躲进卧室。我并没有什么音乐天赋——此前一次次失败的音乐课早已证明了这点，只不过那些课程实在枯燥透顶。)”可知，12岁的作者觉得音乐课很枯燥，不喜欢音乐课程。故选A项。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. (成就意味着完成外界强加的任务，而造诣则是我们主动选择的投入性活动的终点——其回报正是那种唯有忘我投入时才能获得的独特幸福感。)”可知，造诣能带来真正的幸福，这是它比成就更好的原因。故选C项。 7．细节理解题。根据第四段中“More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. (十多年前，我时年十二岁的儿子痴迷于戴·弗农的纸牌戏法。当他发现花无数小时练习的“厄德奈斯换牌术”在八年级根本得不到认可时，我主动为他争取减免作业，因为那些功课正在蚕食他的魔术梦想。)”可知，作者为了让儿子追逐魔术梦想，主动为他争取减免作业，说明作者支持儿子对魔术的热爱。故选B项。 8．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. (自我导向的造诣可以成为我们自我认知和可能性认知的基础。)”可推知，作者结合自身和儿子的经历，说明了成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，主要想传达的是自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要。故选D项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·河南南阳·期末）When Barry Libert and Jon Spector set out to write about how social networking might help businesses, they allowed just about anyone with an idea to help write the book. Thousands of people contributed to We Are Smarter Than Me, which is about the wisdom of the crowd. Spector says the book was initially modeled after a popular online encyclopedia (百科全书) written and edited by Internet users. “We’ve actually struggled throughout the process on the differences between the online encyclopedia and writing a book: How do you combine the ideas, and how do you get a single common voice across?” Spector says. Spector and Libert tried to set guidelines for how people should write, but that proved too restrictive. “Finally we said... you have to have no guidelines,“ Spector says. “And we talked to ourselves about giving up control. Were we ready to do it? And eventually we said to ourselves, ‘Look, if we believe in this concept, we have to carry it out.’ And we did. And that’s really when the contributions from the community began to pick up.” The authors felt that social networking wasn’t just about the famous social media platform. “It was really about how businesses might think about crowds,” Libert says. “Not just their employees as crowds, but also customers, partners, distributors, and investors as crowds-and to use those crowds as a way to improve whatever activity they’re working on...” In one success story that proved the power of the crowd, a gold mining company had essentially run out of places to look for gold. It decided to publish its geological data on the Web and allowed outsiders to contribute suggestions for new locations to mine. “They found $3 billion of new gold out there,” Spector says. “There’s just that knowledge out there and that’s the essential premise (前提) of the book: We, some of whom are unknown, are smarter than a small group of experts inside a company.” 9．What made the writing of We Are Smarter Than Me unique? A．It copied the encyclopedia’s editing rules. B．It collected ideas from the public. C．It followed strict writing guidelines. D．It focused on social media impact. 10．Why did the authors finally remove writing guidelines? A．To appeal to more professional writers. B．To make the book more interesting. C．To truly practice their belief in the public. D．To protect employees’ enthusiasm. 11．What does the gold mining company’s example prove? A．Crowds can outperform experts. B．Online data may risk business security. C．Business should involve outsiders. D．Geological data is vital for gold mining. 12．What does the text intend to do? A．Share a writing skill. B．Highlight a trend. C．Recommend a working procedure. D．Clarify a concept. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．A 12．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。Barry Libert和Jon Spector创作《We Are Smarter Than Me》时集众人之智，以矿业公司案例证明群体智慧胜过专家。 9．细节理解题。根据第一段“When Barry Libert and Jon Spector set out to write about how social networking might help businesses, they allowed just about anyone with an idea to help write the book.(当巴里·利伯特和乔恩·斯佩克特着手撰写有关社交网络如何能助力企业的相关书籍时，他们允许任何有想法的人都参与进来，共同完成这本书的编写工作)”可知，收集了公众的意见让《我们比自己想象的更聪明》这本书独具特色。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据第五段“Look, if we believe in this concept, we have to carry it out.(看，如果我们相信这个理念，就必须将其付诸实践)”可知，作者们最终取消了写作指南是为了以实际行动来践行他们对公众的承诺。故选C。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段““They found $3 billion of new gold out there,” Spector says. “There’s just that knowledge out there and that’s the essential premise (前提) of the book: We, some of whom are unknown, are smarter than a small group of experts inside a company.”(“他们在那里发现了价值 30 亿美元的新黄金资源，”斯佩克特说道。“那里存在着这种知识，这也是这本书的核心前提：我们，其中一些人并不知名，但却比公司内部的一小群专家更聪明。”)”可知，这家金矿公司的例子证明了众人能够胜过专家。故选A。 12．推理判断题。根据第一段“When Barry Libert and Jon Spector set out to write about how social networking might help businesses, they allowed just about anyone with an idea to help write the book. Thousands of people contributed to We Are Smarter Than Me, which is about the wisdom of the crowd.(巴里·利伯特和乔恩·斯佩克特在着手撰写有关社交网络如何助力企业的相关书籍时，他们允许任何有想法的人都参与编写。成千上万的人为《我们比自己更聪明》一书贡献了自己的观点，该书探讨的是群体智慧的问题)”以及文章Barry Libert和Jon Spector创作《We Are Smarter Than Me》时集众人之智，以矿业公司案例证明群体智慧胜过专家。可知，文章的目的是解释“群体智慧”这个概念。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·河北邯郸·期末）For four years, Tina Jones, a New Zealand interior-design business owner, has inspired others to join her in supporting community causes. She finds joy in volunteering, believing it benefits both recipients (接受者) and herself. Motivated by this, she now creates opportunities for others to contribute easily. Tina started a Facebook Messenger group, uniting 40 local women with the goal of helping those in need. When she identifies a cause — such as collecting Foodbank supplies, items for homeless shelters, or essentials for Women’s Refuge — she messages the group. Her home becomes a central collection point, making it easier for participants to contribute. “It’s about saying, ‘Here’s a chance to help — join if you can.’ People respond amazingly,” Tina explains. The approach removes barriers to giving, enabling others to contribute effortlessly without organizing efforts themselves. Tina admits that while her method is irregular, it suits her current schedule and lifts her spirits. “I don’t commit to ongoing volunteer roles yet, but short-term actions work well. As someone who enjoys communication, bringing people together feels natural,” she says. When her children were younger, school-linked projects kept her involved. After they grew up, Tina sought new ways to make a difference. Her flexible model has proven successful, promoting teamwork and positivity. “Together, we’re improving lives in small but meaningful ways — spreading kindness and building connections. It’s rewarding, especially during tough times,” she adds. Tina highlights that volunteering doesn’t have to involve strict schedules or long hours, a key reason, why her approach appeals to many. By simplifying generosity, she empowers busy individuals to participate in small, manageable acts of goodwill, creating collective impact while strengthening community bonds. 13．What inspired Tina to create opportunities for others to volunteer? A．Her experience as a designer. B．Her fondness for communication. C．Encouragement from community leaders. D．Happiness and benefits from volunteering. 14．How does Tina’s Facebook Messenger group work?

When she identifies a cause — such as collecting Foodbank supplies, items for homeless shelters, or essentials for Women’s Refuge — she messages the group. Her home becomes a central collection point, making it easier for participants to contribute.(蒂娜成立了一个Facebook Messenger群，将40名当地女性团结起来，目标是帮助有需要的人。当她确定一个事业时——比如收集食品银行的物资、无家可归者收容所的物品或妇女避难所的必需品——她就会给这个群发信息。她的家成为一个集中收集点，方便参与者捐款)”可知，蒂娜的Facebook群组通过分享需求信息，并利用她的家作为物资收集点来运作。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Tina highlights that volunteering doesn’t have to involve strict schedules or long hours, a key reason, why her approach appeals to many. By simplifying generosity, she empowers busy individuals to participate in small, manageable acts of goodwill, creating collective impact while strengthening community bonds.(蒂娜强调，志愿服务不一定需要严格遵循固定日程，也不必投入大量时间，这正是她的做法吸引很多人的关键原因。通过简化公益参与的方式，她让忙碌的人们能够参与到微小且易于管理的善举中，在产生集体影响力的同时，也加强了社区的凝聚力)”可知，蒂娜的志愿方式通过易于管理的行为简化了公益过程，因此吸引很多人。故选D。 16．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“By simplifying generosity, she empowers busy individuals to participate in small, manageable acts of goodwill, creating collective impact while strengthening community bonds.(通过简化公益参与的方式，她让忙碌的人们能够参与到微小且易于管理的善举中，在产生集体影响力的同时，也加强了社区的凝聚力)”可知，文章主要讲述了蒂娜通过组建志愿者群组，号召众人共同参与公益活动，以微小善行改善社区生活，最终凝聚成显著的集体影响力。这一过程生动诠释了“众人拾柴火焰高”的道理——强调个体力量虽小，但团结协作能创造更大价值。故选C。 Passage5 （24-25高二下·山东潍坊·期末）My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat, but I was completely absorbed. At 10, I felt a deep connection to this mysterious instrument. Since then, guitars have been my life. Through aching fingers and weary arms, guitars tapped into my deep emotions. With practice, the pain faded, and I grew closer to the instrument. The calluses (老茧) on my fingertips became badges (勋章) of honor, filling me with pride. The sensations of playing became second nature, offering momentary excellence. I lost count of the magic instants when I was transported to a different reality. Picking up a guitar always returns me to that wide-eyed 10-year-old, leaving me calmer and re-energized. The joy is enhanced when I witness its impact on others. In my late teens, our band performed at hospitals, children’s camps and seniors’ homes. The smiles and dancing of the audience still remain with me. Guitars also bridged cultural divides. When I traveled, shared rhythms with fellow musicians stirred up beautiful, wordless conversations. The guitar has marked many defining moments in my life—performing for my wife, accompanying my children and comforting me in adversity. It centers and calms me. Many years ago, I thought I was picking up a guitar for the first and only time. Instead, it claimed me for a lifetime. I credit it to my parents, whose encouragement and belief in my potential paved the way for a lifelong passion. For anyone fortunate enough, there’s an “instrument” waiting to be found—something that connects them to themselves and others. It might not be a guitar; it could be a paintbrush or a sport. What matters is the sense of belonging it brings. Now, hearing my son’s guitar flow through the house at night, I hope it touches his soul as deeply as it has touched mine. 17．Why did the author consider the calluses as badges of honor? A．They displayed his musical talent. B．They reminded him of the childhood. C．They symbolized his journey of growth. D．They represented the hardship of his life. 18．What do the author’s experiences show in paragraph 3? A．Travel makes a full man. B．Joy shared is joy doubled. C．A smile breaks down barriers. D．Where words fail, dancing speaks. 19．What kept the author playing the guitar? A．His parents’ support. B．His desire for fame. C．His children’s company. D．His wife’s admiration. 20．What does the author mainly intend to convey? A．Facing challenges is a must in life. B．Music serves as a universal language. C．Having a lifelong passion is a blessing. D．Family members matter more than anything. 【答案】17．C 18．B 19．A 20．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者10岁时与吉他结缘，它伴随其成长，带来快乐并连接他人，也因父母支持成终身热爱，希望儿子也能有此体验。 17．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Through aching fingers and weary arms, guitars tapped into my deep emotions. With practice, the pain faded, and I grew closer to the instrument. The calluses (老茧) on my fingertips became badges (勋章) of honor, filling me with pride.( 通过疼痛的手指和疲惫的手臂，吉他敲击着我内心深处的情感。随着练习，疼痛逐渐消失，我与乐器的联系也越来越紧密。指尖上的老茧变成了荣誉的徽章，让我充满自豪。)”可推知，老茧是作者通过练习克服疼痛、与吉他逐渐亲近的成长印记，象征着他的成长历程。故选C项。 18．推理判断题。根据第三段“The joy is enhanced when I witness its impact on others. In my late teens, our band performed at hospitals, children’s camps and seniors’ homes. The smiles and dancing of the audience still remain with me. Guitars also bridged cultural divides. When I traveled, shared rhythms with fellow musicians stirred up beautiful, wordless conversations.( 当我看到它对他人的影响时，这种喜悦就会增强。在我快30岁的时候，我们的乐队在医院、儿童营地和老年人之家演出。观众们的微笑和舞蹈仍然伴随着我。吉他还能弥合文化鸿沟。当我旅行时，与其他音乐家分享的节奏激起了美妙的、无言的对话。)”可推知，第三段中作者的经历说明了当作者与他人分享音乐带来的快乐时，自己的快乐也加倍了。故选B项。 19．细节理解题。根据第四段中“I credit it to my parents, whose encouragement and belief in my potential paved the way for a lifelong passion.( 我把这归功于我的父母，他们对我潜力的鼓励和信任，为我一生的激情铺平了道路。)”可知，父母的支持是作者坚持弹吉他的重要原因。故选A项。 20．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“For anyone fortunate enough, there’s an “instrument” waiting to be found—something that connects them to themselves and others. It might not be a guitar; it could be a paintbrush or a sport. What matters is the sense of belonging it brings.( 对于任何一个足够幸运的人来说，都有一种“工具”等待着被发现——一种将他们与自己和他人联系起来的东西。它可能不是一把吉他；它可以是一把画笔，也可以是一项运动。重要的是它带来的归属感。)”可知，作者讲述了自己从 10 岁开始与吉他结缘，吉他在他生活中的重要性，包括连接情感、跨越文化差异、标记人生重要时刻等，还提到希望儿子也能像他一样感受到吉他对灵魂的触动。结合最后一段作者指出对幸运的人来说，有一个能连接自己和他人的“工具”（可能是吉他、画笔或运动等）是很重要的，关键是它带来的归属感。整体文章传达出拥有一份终身的热爱是一种福气。故选C项。 Passage6 （24-25高二下·江苏·期末）While saying “no” can be liberating to some, for others it can be uncomfortable. Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted. Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive. It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy. We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent. Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional. Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”. 21．What does society think of saying “no”? A．Understandable. B．Necessary. C．Inconsiderate. D．Indifferent. 22．How does the “sandwich method” work? A．By avoiding anything negative. B．By being supportive before and after rejection. C．By looking on the positive side. D．By setting permanent boundaries in daily life. 23．What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”? A．Stick to one’s decisions. B．Express oneself flexibly. C．Prioritize others’ needs. D．Mind its negative effects. 24．What would be a suitable title for the text? A．The Power of a Gentle Refusal B．How to Take Care of Oneself C．The Journey of Self-discovery D．How to Satisfy Others’ Needs 【答案】21．C 22．B 23．D 24．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出说“不”虽让部分人不适，但有明显益处，介绍了“三明治方法”等说“不”的方式，还强调要留意其负面效应。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段“Sometimes, society teaches us the word ‘no’ is impolite.(有时，社会告诉我们‘不’ 这个词是不礼貌的。)”可知，社会认为说“不”是考虑不周的。故选C项。 22．细节理解题。根据第二段“It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the ‘no’ and end with something positive.(这是一种将人们认为负面的内容夹在两个正面内容之间的方法。先告诉对方积极的事情，然后说‘不’，最后再以积极的内容结束。)”可知，“三明治方法”的运作方式是在拒绝前后都给予积极回应。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。根据第五段“Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower.(坚定自己的决定并能够表达自我是很有价值的，但也要留意当说‘不’未能赋能时的一些迹象。)”及后文列举的“孤立感”等负面效应可知，作者建议人们留意说“不”的负面影响。故选D项。 24．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“说‘不’的重要性”展开，介绍了社会对拒绝的误解、有效的拒绝方法（如三明治法）、设定边界的灵活性及需注意的负面效应，强调温和拒绝的力量。因此A项The Power of a Gentle Refusal (温和拒绝的力量)最适合作为标题。故选A项。 Passage 7 （23-24高二下·河北·期末）We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’ re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help. Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep problems than electronics that aren’t interactive. Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation (冥想) apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening. Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. We recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises to help you get to sleep. 25．What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Set aside. B．Pick up. C．Show off. D．Turn to. 26．What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin? A．Staring at electronic devices for a long time. B．Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily. C．Reducing the pressure from screen use. D．Sleeping less than you normally do. 27．Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommended? A．It is an digital alarm clock. B．It helps you drop off to sleep. C．It picks music that works for you. D．It helps you sleep by blocking noises. 28．What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5? A．Keeping up your meditation practice screen-free. B．Finding a consistent bedtime and wake-up time. C．Developing a bedtime routine without electronics. D．Making a change according to circumstances. 【答案】25．A 26．D 27．B 28．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了睡前使用手机等电子设备影响睡眠的原因，并提供了改善睡眠的建议，如使用闹钟、进行无电子设备的睡前活动等。 25．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, if you’ re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. (然而，如果你想改善睡眠，你真的应该在睡前至少一小时ditch你的手机)”以及后文提到的避免使用电子设备的建议，可以推测“ditch”与“Set aside”词义相近，意为“搁置、放下”。故选A项。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. (科学证据表明，来自手机、平板电脑、计算机和电视的蓝光会抑制身体褪黑激素的产生，这种激素在睡眠周期中起着重要作用)”可知，褪黑激素被抑制可能导致睡眠减少。故选D项。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段“Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. (它不仅容易设置唤醒时间，还包括白噪音和雨声来帮助你入睡，还有许多音量设置可以选择最适合你的)”可知，推荐Sharp Dream Caster的原因是它有助于入睡。故选B项。 28．推理判断题。根据第五段“Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. (通过避免使用电子设备更进一步。你可以尝试阅读一本书（纸质的）、泡澡或喝一杯洋甘菊茶)”可知，根据第五段可知，建议形成不依赖电子设备的睡前习惯。故选C项。 Passage 8 （24-25高二下·浙江嘉兴·期末）While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 29．What can we learn about artful thinking? A．It simplifies problem-solving. B．It focuses on developing our brains. C．It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D．It helps promote high-tech machinery. 30．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Benefits of artful intelligence. B．Mind-body awareness in thinking. C．Significance of being mindful. D．Social interaction through movements. 31．What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A．Enhance the flexibility of attention. B．Adapt to the rise of AI. C．Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D．Improve the levels of focus. 32．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B．Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C．Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D．Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI 【答案】29．C 30．B 31．A 32．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.(巧妙思考的哲学是避免这种情况的好方法。巧妙思考意味着不仅要用大脑，还要用手、眼睛、耳朵以及情感来解决问题。这种方法利用了我们身体中分布但常常未被利用的认知资源)”可知，巧妙思考能防止我们过度依赖人工智能。故选C。 30．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world.(改变我们的思维方式是一项艰苦的工作。它始于正念练习。获取巧妙智慧需要留意我们如何用身体思考，如何用四肢、器官和情感来理解世界)”可知，第三段主要讲了思考中的身心意识。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据第四段中“If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus.(如果你想在这个充满人工智能的世界中找到更多的自由，提高你自觉地在不同物体或注意力层次之间转移注意力的能力)”可推知，作者建议我们在充满人工智能的世界里增强注意力的灵活性。故选A。 32．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”(巧妙思考需要努力保持正念，以确保我们所做的，以及我们希望通过使用这些技术工具实现的目标，不会削弱我们的人性。正如一行禅师所说：“正念生活是一门艺术，我们每个人都必须训练成为艺术家。”)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要论述了在人工智能时代，保持正念的重要性，它能让我们保持人性，不被技术所吞噬。D选项“正念让我们在人工智能时代保持人性”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 Passage 9 （24-25高二下·安徽阜阳·阶段练习）Most of us use multiple passwords for our digital lives. It’s common to have a bunch of them and they keep growing. Some, like work passwords, need to be changed frequently, making them tough to remember. This can push us to reuse passwords, but experts say that’s risky. Hackers (黑客) could take over your accounts if you do so. A popular solution is to use password managers. These tools aren’t new, but they might be just what you need. Let’s explore how password managers can help you. Password managers are like digital safes for your passwords. They securely store all your login details, and when you need to access a site, they fill in your document for you automatically. These tools often come as apps for your phone, which work with browsers and other apps. You can unlock them with a touch of your fingerprint or a glance at the camera. On your computer, you can access your password storage through a browser extension or a special website. Good password managers not only store your passwords but also generate strong ones for you, using a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. It’s smart enough to recognize new logins and ask if you want to save them. They also protect you from phishing (网络诱骗) attempts, which try to trick you into fake websites by copying emails or links. If a site’s address doesn’t match the one saved in your storage, your password manager won’t fill in your details. Good password managers use strong encryption (加密) methods that aim to prevent any other parties from seeing your data. Pieter Arntz is a security researcher at California-based cybersecurity company Malwarebytes. He said that many password managers use the most secure kind of encryption available. Arntz noted this kind of encryption can protect users even when their computers, devices or password managers are hacked. This is because encryption ensures the saved passwords are stored in an encoded state, which means the attacker would need to know the main password in order to read any of the saved passwords. 33．Why do experts advise against reusing passwords? A．It makes the login process more complex. B．It makes your accounts less convenient. C．It makes you more addicted to your digital devices. D．It makes your accounts easier to be hacked. 34．How do password managers assist users with online security? A．By providing a platform for password sharing. B．By encoding data to prevent insecure access. C．By monitoring online activity for suspicious behavior. D．By allowing users to create simple-to-remember passwords. 35．What can be inferred about password managers from the article? A．They change the passwords for the users. B．They are completely immune to all hacking threats. C．They can only be accessed through a special website. D．Their security relies on the user remembering the primary password. 36．What could be the most suitable title for the passage? A．Password Management: A New Tool for Cybersecurity B．Hacking Solution: Ways to Create a Safe Password C．Unlocking Security: The Power of Password Managers D．Exploring Digital Safety: The Future of Online Security 【答案】33．D 34．B 35．D 36．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍密码管理器的功能、作用及安全性，说明其如何帮助用户提升网络安全。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This can push us to reuse passwords, but experts say that’s risky. Hackers could take over your accounts if you do so.(这可能会促使我们重复使用密码，但专家表示这是有风险的。如果你这样做，黑客可能会接管你的账户。)”可知，专家建议不要重复使用密码是因为这会使账户更容易被黑客攻击。故选D项。 34．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Good password managers use strong encryption methods that aim to prevent any other parties from seeing your data.(好的密码管理器使用强大的加密方法，旨在防止任何其他方查看你的数据。)”及第六段中的“This is because encryption ensures the saved passwords are stored in an encoded state, which means the attacker would need to know the main password in order to read any of the saved passwords. (这时因为加密确保保存的密码以编码状态存储，这意味着攻击者需要知道主密码才能读取任何保存的密码。)”可知，密码管理器通过对数据进行加密来防止不安全的访问，从而协助用户保障网络安全。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“This is because encryption ensures the saved passwords are stored in an encoded state, which means the attacker would need to know the main password in order to read any of the saved passwords.(这是因为加密确保保存的密码以编码状态存储，这意味着攻击者需要知道主密码才能读取任何保存的密码。)”可知，攻击者需要知道主密码才能读取任何保存的密码，由此推测，密码管理器的安全依赖于用户记住主密码故选D项。 36．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕密码管理器展开，介绍其作为数字安全工具的存储、生成强密码、防网络诱骗及加密等功能，强调其在提升网络安全方面的作用。因此，“解锁安全：密码管理器的力量”最能概括文章核心内容，可作为文章的标题。故选C项。 Passage 10 （24-25高二上·江西·阶段练习）Many years ago, I wrote a story. My 1 was to see the story on the shelves. 2 , it was far from being published. I had to 3 I should rewrite it and I needed fresh views on my story.

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 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·全国二卷·阅读理解C篇) When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 28．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss. C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well. 29．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment. C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity. 30．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability. C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home 命题特点 主旨大意题考查的是考生对文章内容的深层次理解,它要求考生在充分理解全文的前提下,对整篇文章的主旨大意有一个较为清晰的印象。主旨大意题不仅考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,也对考生的归纳、概括能力提出了较高的要求。文章中没有明显的解题依据,需要考生从文章中提炼、抽取一些关键词、主干句进行加工概括,才能归纳出文章的主旨。 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 主旨大意题解题思维 1.梳理文章结构，抓核心信息 快速浏览全文，关注首尾段（通常为主题段）、各段首尾句（通常为段落主旨句），标记高频出现的核心词（或同义词），这些词往往是文章主题的关键词； 2. 总结段落大意，提炼共性 逐段概括主要内容（用 1-2 句话总结），再分析各段之间的逻辑关系（如并列、递进、对比等），找出贯穿全文的核心思想； 3. 关注作者意图与情感基调 通过动词、形容词、副词等情感词判断作者的态度（如肯定、否定、中立），进而把握文章的写作目的（如说明现象、论证观点、呼吁行动等）； 4. 验证选项的全面性与精准性 最佳选项应简洁明了，能准确涵盖全文核心内容。 注意：对于议论文，主旨通常是作者的核心观点；对于说明文，主旨通常是说明的对象及核心特征；对于记叙文，主旨通常是通过故事传达的道理或情感； 若文章无明显主题句，需综合全文信息 “自下而上” 归纳，避免遗漏关键段落的核心内容。 主旨大意题干扰项特征 1.过于片面（仅涵盖部分段落内容，未概括全文）； 2.过于宽泛（超出文章讨论范围，涵盖无关内容）； 3. 与原文主旨相悖（与作者观点或核心信息冲突）。       1．Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces. 抓标志：连接词 that；关系代词 who 判类型：主句（Our study showed...）＋that 引导的宾语从句（there was a 30% decrease...），宾语从句中含 who 引导的定语从句（修饰先行词 people） 试翻译：我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。 2．Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. 抓标志：并列连词and…and…；省略的关系代词that/which 判类型：并列句（三个简单句并列；第三个简单句含定语从句it takes…省略that/which） 试翻译：医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。 ①be flooded with　　　　收到大量（订单/消息等） ②lead to　　　　　　　　导致，引发 ③in fashion　　　　　　 流行，时髦 ④report a higher ... rating　报告更高的……评分 ⑤change one’s mood　　　改变某人的情绪 ⑥translate into　　　　　转化为 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage 1 阅读理解 寓言故事 420 讲述了一块普通陶土经历磨难最终成为承载珍贵百合花的花盆，领悟自身价值的故事 Passage 2 阅读理解 夹叙夹议文 383 成就(achievement)和造诣(accomplishment)的区别，强调自我导向的造诣对个人成长至关重要 Passage 3 阅读理解 说明文 332 矿业公司案例证明群体智慧胜过专家 Passage 4 阅读理解 记叙文 281 新西兰室内设计师蒂娜·琼斯通过创建Facebook群组，简化志愿活动，激励他人参与社区公益 Passage 5 阅读理解 记叙文 308 作者10岁时与吉他结缘，它伴随其成长，带来快乐并连接他人 Passage 6 阅读理解 说明文 342 说“不”虽让部分人不适，但有明显益处，介绍了“三明治方法”等说“不”的方式，还强调要留意其负面效应 Passage 7 阅读理解 说明文 321 解释睡前使用手机等电子设备影响睡眠的原因，并提供了改善睡眠的建议，如使用闹钟、进行无电子设备的睡前活动等 Passage 8 阅读理解 议论文 326 在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性 Passage 9 阅读理解 说明文 355 主要介绍密码管理器的功能、作用及安全性，说明其如何帮助用户提升网络安全 Passage 10 完形填空 记叙文 251 讲述了作者通过聘请编辑Jasmine Gower来改进自己的故事，并最终成功出版并获得读者好评的经历。 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·江苏镇江·期末）There was a handful of common clay in the bank of a river. But it had high thoughts of its own value, and wonderful dreams of the great place which it was to fill in the world when the time came for its virtues to be discovered. One day the clay felt itself carried far away over a rough and stony road. But it was not discouraged, for it said to itself: “This is necessary. The path to glory is always rugged. Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world.” But the hard journey was nothing, compared with the suffering that came after it. The clay was put into a container and mixed and beaten. It seemed almost unbearable. But there was comfort in the thought that something very fine and noble was certainly coming out of all this trouble. The clay felt sure that, if it could only wait long enough, a wonderful reward was in store for it. Then an unknown hand put it into an oven, and fires were kindled about it — fierce and penetrating. But through all, the clay held itself together and endured its trials, in the confidence of a great future. At last the baking was finished. The clay was set down upon a board, in the cool air, under the blue sky. The suffering was passed. The reward was at hand. Then the clay saw the reward of all its patience and pain — a common flower-pot, straight and ugly. It felt that it was not destined for a king’s house, nor for a palace of art, because it was made without glory or beauty or honor. Many days it passed in depression. After a while it was filled with earth, and something was buried into the middle of the earth. After that, it was set in a greenhouse, where the sunlight fell warm upon it, and day by day as it waited, something was stirring within it — a new hope. Still it was ignorant, and knew not what the new hope meant. One day the clay was carried into a great church. It had a fine part to play in the world. Glorious music flowed over it. Still it could not understand. The other vessel told it, “You are carrying a royal lily, and the heart of it is like pure gold. The people look toward you because the root of it is in your heart.” Then the clay was content, because, though an earthen pot, it held so great a treasure. 1．How did the clay feel when it was carried over a rough and stony road? A．Calm and ambitious B．Excited and joyful C．Confident and hopeful D．Expectant and persistent 2．What motivated the clay to endure the harsh treatments based on paragraphs 3-4? A．The firm belief that its sufferings would lead to a rewarding future. B．The assumption that it would be decorated carefully after the baking. C．The thought that its sufferings were necessary to gain a special shape. D．The expectation that the trials would shape it into a noble and useful object. 3．What can be inferred from the clay’s final role? A．Location decides an object’s worth. B．Ordinary forms can hold great value. C．Grand expectations always come true. D．Suffering always brings instant rewards. 4．Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? A．No pain, no gain. B．Slow and steady wins the race. C．Every cloud has a silver lining. D．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·黑龙江牡丹江·期末）When I was 12, I disappeared into my bedroom with a $40 folk guitar and a book of Beatles songs. I had no musical gift, as a series of failed music lessons had told me: the lessons were merely dull. I felt sharp pain in my fingers as I tried to press down on the strings without making them buzz, and my left hand ached as I tried. Although I failed several times, I worked my way through ‘Rain’ and ‘Love Me Do’ and discovered the thrill of homemade musical harmony. The sense of happiness I felt that week has stayed with me. Fifty years later, I am still not a very good guitar player, but that week’s work and the years of self-directed practice on the instrument became a model for almost every meaningful thing I’ve done since. It gave me confidence that passion and patience can make one master any task. As graduates walk into the world, most think hard about what they might do with their lives. So it seems suitable now to talk about a distinction that I first recognized in that bedroom. It’s the difference between achievement and accomplishment. Achievement means completing the task imposed (强加于) from the outside. Accomplishment is the end point of a consuming activity we’ve chosen, whose reward is the sense of happiness that rises uniquely from absorption in a thing outside ourselves. As a parent now, I’ve seen the pure satisfaction of accomplishment arise in my own children. More than a decade ago, my then 12-year-old son, a boy crazy about Dai Vermon’s card tricks, found that the many hours he’d spent learning the Erdnase color change was not a necessarily rewarded act in eighth grade. I fought on his behalf to cut down on homework because homework was cutting into his magic. It turns out that the steps he has taken in life that led him eventually to take graduate degrees in philosophy began with his childhood passion for magic. The concentration and subtlety (敏锐) of mind required to master some knowledge of philosophy can be rooted more readily in Dai Vernon’s magic than in getting straight A’s. Self-directed accomplishment can become a foundation of our sense of self and of our sense of possibility. 5．What do we know about the 12-year-old author? A．He didn’t like music lessons. B．He left home with his guitar. C．He discovered his talent for music. D．He was injured while playing the guitar. 6．Why is accomplishment better than achievement according to the author? A．It is easier for graduates. B．It focuses on individuals. C．It brings you true happiness. D．It makes you more successful. 7．What was the author’s attitude to his son’s passion for magic? A．Critical. B．Supportive. C．Skeptical. D．Dismissive. 8．What does the author mainly want to convey in the text? A．Magic tricks might be the key to academic success. B．Accomplishment is more difficult than achievement. C．Your childhood interests can influence your future choices. D．Self-directed accomplishment is vital for personal growth. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·河南南阳·期末）When Barry Libert and Jon Spector set out to write about how social networking might help businesses, they allowed just about anyone with an idea to help write the book. Thousands of people contributed to We Are Smarter Than Me, which is about the wisdom of the crowd. Spector says the book was initially modeled after a popular online encyclopedia (百科全书) written and edited by Internet users. “We’ve actually struggled throughout the process on the differences between the online encyclopedia and writing a book: How do you combine the ideas, and how do you get a single common voice across?” Spector says. Spector and Libert tried to set guidelines for how people should write, but that proved too restrictive. “Finally we said... you have to have no guidelines,“ Spector says. “And we talked to ourselves about giving up control. Were we ready to do it? And eventually we said to ourselves, ‘Look, if we believe in this concept, we have to carry it out.’ And we did. And that’s really when the contributions from the community began to pick up.” The authors felt that social networking wasn’t just about the famous social media platform. “It was really about how businesses might think about crowds,” Libert says. “Not just their employees as crowds, but also customers, partners, distributors, and investors as crowds-and to use those crowds as a way to improve whatever activity they’re working on...” In one success story that proved the power of the crowd, a gold mining company had essentially run out of places to look for gold. It decided to publish its geological data on the Web and allowed outsiders to contribute suggestions for new locations to mine. “They found $3 billion of new gold out there,” Spector says. “There’s just that knowledge out there and that’s the essential premise (前提) of the book: We, some of whom are unknown, are smarter than a small group of experts inside a company.” 9．What made the writing of We Are Smarter Than Me unique? A．It copied the encyclopedia’s editing rules. B．It collected ideas from the public. C．It followed strict writing guidelines. D．It focused on social media impact. 10．Why did the authors finally remove writing guidelines? A．To appeal to more professional writers. B．To make the book more interesting. C．To truly practice their belief in the public. D．To protect employees’ enthusiasm. 11．What does the gold mining company’s example prove? A．Crowds can outperform experts. B．Online data may risk business security. C．Business should involve outsiders. D．Geological data is vital for gold mining. 12．What does the text intend to do? A．Share a writing skill. B．Highlight a trend. C．Recommend a working procedure. D．Clarify a concept. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·河北邯郸·期末）For four years, Tina Jones, a New Zealand interior-design business owner, has inspired others to join her in supporting community causes. She finds joy in volunteering, believing it benefits both recipients (接受者) and herself. Motivated by this, she now creates opportunities for others to contribute easily. Tina started a Facebook Messenger group, uniting 40 local women with the goal of helping those in need. When she identifies a cause — such as collecting Foodbank supplies, items for homeless shelters, or essentials for Women’s Refuge — she messages the group. Her home becomes a central collection point, making it easier for participants to contribute. “It’s about saying, ‘Here’s a chance to help — join if you can.’ People respond amazingly,” Tina explains. The approach removes barriers to giving, enabling others to contribute effortlessly without organizing efforts themselves. Tina admits that while her method is irregular, it suits her current schedule and lifts her spirits. “I don’t commit to ongoing volunteer roles yet, but short-term actions work well. As someone who enjoys communication, bringing people together feels natural,” she says. When her children were younger, school-linked projects kept her involved. After they grew up, Tina sought new ways to make a difference. Her flexible model has proven successful, promoting teamwork and positivity. “Together, we’re improving lives in small but meaningful ways — spreading kindness and building connections. It’s rewarding, especially during tough times,” she adds. Tina highlights that volunteering doesn’t have to involve strict schedules or long hours, a key reason, why her approach appeals to many. By simplifying generosity, she empowers busy individuals to participate in small, manageable acts of goodwill, creating collective impact while strengthening community bonds. 13．What inspired Tina to create opportunities for others to volunteer? A．Her experience as a designer. B．Her fondness for communication. C．Encouragement from community leaders. D．Happiness and benefits from volunteering. 14．How does Tina’s Facebook Messenger group work? A．Tina organizes big events for members to join. B．Tina shares requests and uses her home as a drop-off point. C．Members must attend the weekly planning meeting.

Passage5 （24-25高二下·山东潍坊·期末）My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat, but I was completely absorbed. At 10, I felt a deep connection to this mysterious instrument. Since then, guitars have been my life. Through aching fingers and weary arms, guitars tapped into my deep emotions. With practice, the pain faded, and I grew closer to the instrument. The calluses (老茧) on my fingertips became badges (勋章) of honor, filling me with pride. The sensations of playing became second nature, offering momentary excellence. I lost count of the magic instants when I was transported to a different reality. Picking up a guitar always returns me to that wide-eyed 10-year-old, leaving me calmer and re-energized. The joy is enhanced when I witness its impact on others. In my late teens, our band performed at hospitals, children’s camps and seniors’ homes. The smiles and dancing of the audience still remain with me. Guitars also bridged cultural divides. When I traveled, shared rhythms with fellow musicians stirred up beautiful, wordless conversations. The guitar has marked many defining moments in my life—performing for my wife, accompanying my children and comforting me in adversity. It centers and calms me. Many years ago, I thought I was picking up a guitar for the first and only time. Instead, it claimed me for a lifetime. I credit it to my parents, whose encouragement and belief in my potential paved the way for a lifelong passion. For anyone fortunate enough, there’s an “instrument” waiting to be found—something that connects them to themselves and others. It might not be a guitar; it could be a paintbrush or a sport. What matters is the sense of belonging it brings. Now, hearing my son’s guitar flow through the house at night, I hope it touches his soul as deeply as it has touched mine. 17．Why did the author consider the calluses as badges of honor?

Sometimes, society teaches us the word “no” is impolite. We feel more obligated (有义务的) to get along with things we honestly do not want to do in order to be socially accepted. Yet, there are clear benefits to the word “no”. One of the first steps is to find a way to say “no” that feels natural and authentic for you. Perhaps you may find the “sandwich method” helpful. It is an approach that involves sandwiching something that individuals may consider negative between two positives. Tell the person something positive followed by the “no” and end with something positive. It’s also important to keep in mind that saying “no” to something but giving other options that better fit your needs can also be an effective way to use the power of “no”. Remember that your needs are important and your decisions can directly affect your time and energy. We all have various roles in our work, parenting, social obligations, and family dynamics. These roles can challenge our abilities to set boundaries. Learning about yourself and finding your inner power is crucial to your health and well-being. Boundaries can be flexible when appropriate. Take time to reassess your boundaries, taking into account the pros and cons. And remember: Boundaries do not have to be permanent. Standing firm in your decisions and being able to express yourself can be so rewarding, but there are also some signs to keep in mind when it is not being used in a way to empower. Withdrawal, loss of interest in activities, or having feelings of worthlessness can be more than indicative of saying “no”. If you find yourself saying “no” in a way that leads to isolation, then it might be time to see a mental health professional. Overall, there isn’t a “right” way to say “no”. You will never be able to please everyone. Remember to let your inner confidence shine in your ability to say “no”. 21．What does society think of saying “no”? A．Understandable. B．Necessary. C．Inconsiderate. D．Indifferent. 22．How does the “sandwich method” work? A．By avoiding anything negative. B．By being supportive before and after rejection. C．By looking on the positive side. D．By setting permanent boundaries in daily life. 23．What does the author suggest people do regarding saying “no”? A．Stick to one’s decisions. B．Express oneself flexibly. C．Prioritize others’ needs. D．Mind its negative effects. 24．What would be a suitable title for the text? A．The Power of a Gentle Refusal B．How to Take Care of Oneself C．The Journey of Self-discovery D．How to Satisfy Others’ Needs Passage 7 （23-24高二下·河北·期末）We know it can be hard to put your phone to bed before you sleep. However, if you’ re trying to improve your sleep, you really should ditch your phone at least an hour before bedtime. Luckily, our experts can help. Scientific evidence suggests that the blue light from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV suppresses (抑制) your body’s production of melatonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙) that plays an important role in your sleep cycle. Melatonin release in the evening helps you relax before bedtime. A 2013 study that analyzed technology use and sleep patterns with data from a National Sleep Foundation poll found that using devices like phones was tied to more sleep problems than electronics that aren’t interactive. Many of us use the excuse that our mobile devices serve as our wake-up calls, or keep them nearby to use meditation (冥想) apps. If you want to use your phone as an alarm, consider setting it a couple of hours before you turn in for the night, and then setting the phone itself to bedtime mode for the rest of the evening. Here’s another groundbreaking idea: You could get a real alarm clock. We recommend the Sharp Dream Caster. Not only is it easy to set a wake-up time, the clock includes white noises and rain noises to help you sleep, plus a number of volume settings to pick what works best for you. But an alarm clock won’t help you avoid doom-scrolling through social media. Take things a step further by avoiding using electronic devices. You can try reading a book (one made of paper), taking a bath or drinking a cup of chamomile tea. Finally, if you want to keep up your meditation practice screen-free, consider the Morphée. It looks like a little music box and comes with a variety of breathing exercises to help you get to sleep. 25．What does the underlined word “ditch” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Set aside. B．Pick up. C．Show off. D．Turn to. 26．What may be caused by the suppression of melatonin? A．Staring at electronic devices for a long time. B．Adapting to your sleep cycle more easily. C．Reducing the pressure from screen use. D．Sleeping less than you normally do. 27．Why is the Sharp Dream Caster recommended? A．It is an digital alarm clock. B．It helps you drop off to sleep. C．It picks music that works for you. D．It helps you sleep by blocking noises. 28．What is suggested for better sleep according to paragraph 5? A．Keeping up your meditation practice screen-free. B．Finding a consistent bedtime and wake-up time. C．Developing a bedtime routine without electronics. D．Making a change according to circumstances. Passage 8 （24-25高二下·浙江嘉兴·期末）While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds. A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused. Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out. Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice. Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.” 29．What can we learn about artful thinking? A．It simplifies problem-solving. B．It focuses on developing our brains. C．It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D．It helps promote high-tech machinery. 30．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．Benefits of artful intelligence. B．Mind-body awareness in thinking. C．Significance of being mindful. D．Social interaction through movements. 31．What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world? A．Enhance the flexibility of attention. B．Adapt to the rise of AI. C．Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D．Improve the levels of focus. 32．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B．Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds C．Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D．Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI Passage 9 （24-25高二下·安徽阜阳·阶段练习）Most of us use multiple passwords for our digital lives. It’s common to have a bunch of them and they keep growing. Some, like work passwords, need to be changed frequently, making them tough to remember. This can push us to reuse passwords, but experts say that’s risky. Hackers (黑客) could take over your accounts if you do so. A popular solution is to use password managers. These tools aren’t new, but they might be just what you need. Let’s explore how password managers can help you. Password managers are like digital safes for your passwords. They securely store all your login details, and when you need to access a site, they fill in your document for you automatically. These tools often come as apps for your phone, which work with browsers and other apps. You can unlock them with a touch of your fingerprint or a glance at the camera. On your computer, you can access your password storage through a browser extension or a special website. Good password managers not only store your passwords but also generate strong ones for you, using a mix of letters, numbers and symbols. It’s smart enough to recognize new logins and ask if you want to save them. They also protect you from phishing (网络诱骗) attempts, which try to trick you into fake websites by copying emails or links. If a site’s address doesn’t match the one saved in your storage, your password manager won’t fill in your details. Good password managers use strong encryption (加密) methods that aim to prevent any other parties from seeing your data. Pieter Arntz is a security researcher at California-based cybersecurity company Malwarebytes. He said that many password managers use the most secure kind of encryption available. Arntz noted this kind of encryption can protect users even when their computers, devices or password managers are hacked. This is because encryption ensures the saved passwords are stored in an encoded state, which means the attacker would need to know the main password in order to read any of the saved passwords. 33．Why do experts advise against reusing passwords? A．It makes the login process more complex. B．It makes your accounts less convenient. C．It makes you more addicted to your digital devices. D．It makes your accounts easier to be hacked. 34．How do password managers assist users with online security? A．By providing a platform for password sharing. B．By encoding data to prevent insecure access. C．By monitoring online activity for suspicious behavior. D．By allowing users to create simple-to-remember passwords. 35．What can be inferred about password managers from the article? A．They change the passwords for the users. B．They are completely immune to all hacking threats. C．They can only be accessed through a special website. D．Their security relies on the user remembering the primary password. 36．What could be the most suitable title for the passage? A．Password Management: A New Tool for Cybersecurity B．Hacking Solution: Ways to Create a Safe Password C．Unlocking Security: The Power of Password Managers D．Exploring Digital Safety: The Future of Online Security Passage 10 （24-25高二上·江西·阶段练习）Many years ago, I wrote a story.
