Here are some best practices to make meetings efficient and effective: Try to avoid recycling agendas. Send out the agenda and other materials that will be discussed. 24 .

● 27
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time.

Plants need soil, sunshine, and water. 42 If you are planting a garden in a corner of your yard, choose a spot that gets lots of morning sun. If you live in an apartment, you might decide to place your container garden on a sunny spot on your balcony or windowsill.
Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant. 43 When choosing plants, consider the size and location of your garden and how much sun it will get. Sunflowers need lots of room and sunlight. Other plants do well in the shade (阴凉处). 44

Passage 3
(24-25高二上·河南郑州一中·期中)
Body language of pets is different based on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. If you’re unsure of your pet’s body language, consider reading some articles for your specific animal. 51 , as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
When dogs feel stressed out or threatened, their eyes will look larger than normal. If your dog isn’t looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. 52 .
If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly, it’s likely communicating affection. You can do this back at your cat to show your love, too. 53 . If your cat feels threatened, its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely bearched, too.
54 . If your bird’s pupils (瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it’s excited, greatly interested, scared or angry. 55 .

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南许昌·期中)
To make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them.
Put people in the story
Science’s stories often lack human characters. 56 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.
57
People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 58 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information.
Include what people care about
Scientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of the lowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 59 .
Tell science's stories
Scientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 60 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics — character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.
A. Explain science as a process
B. Shoot attractive short science videos
C. Scientists themselves can actually become ideal ones
D. This practice is to stress why the content is important
E. You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientists
F. Science communicators can emphasize how science is conducted
G. You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message
Passage 2
(24-25高二上·河南信高贤岭校区·期中)
One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview. 61 In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.
Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张); tell the truth. 62 Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
63 Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.
Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. 64 If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer, you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times, however, an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident, positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. 65 Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine enthusiasm and interest.
A. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively.
B. Show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.
C. Some people lose job opportunities because of talking too much.
D. If unsure of job requirements, ask questions to see if you're qualified.
E. Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression.
F. There are thousands of people entering new careers and searching for jobs.
G. Second, listen carefully and get involved in what the interviewer is saying.

What is the origin of Family History Month?
Every human has a history of some sort or another. Usually, that history goes far back beyond ourselves. Every ancestor we have has left his mark on us. 66 . Many people find that there is a certain comfort in knowing where they came from, and that’s why Family History Month was started.
How to celebrate Family History Month?
Celebrating the history of the family is obviously something that should happen all year round! Try out some of these ideas to get started:
* Compile (编纂) a family history
It all starts with collecting what people know about their families and compiling it together. 67 . They include documents and records, old photographs, and verbal stories from the still- living members of the family.
Those people who are particularly lucky will have had a family member who has started the basics for them. 68 . Today it’s a little easier than it used to be. Websites and organizations are easily found that can help people trace (追溯) their family lines.
* 69
Don’t let another day go by without hearing the stories that living family members have to tell about their childhoods and the family history. Whether you visit them in person or arrange for a phone call or video conversation, older family members can be vitally important to keep the family history alive. Ask them to share some stories. It will not only give information but will be good for the relationship and help them to feel needed and loved. Remember to take very good notes or record what they have to say for later generations.
* Engage with a genealogy (家谱) website
Let someone else do the hard work of finding out all of that family history and background! 70 . Try out the genealogy websites and services, such as FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeritage for ideas of where to get started.
A. Connect with an older family member
B. Focus more on the telling of the elderly
C. If not, it’s probably time to take action
D. This can be done through the use of many materials

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南新乡·期中)
For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. 76 . The good one is that you can manage the symptoms (症状), so they don’t manage you. Here are some things you can do on any given day to get on the right side of calm.
Find an object to focus on
A simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention towards studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: color, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? 77 .
78
If you’re prone (易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you’re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. Writing will help you focus your thoughts, and reading your entry later can help you handle your anxiety better.
Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts
79 . Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. If you respond better to positivity, try replacing those fears with a happy thought — like how excited you are to go on a trip with your friends, and how fun it’s going to be!
Talk to someone about your anxiety
If you’re in the struggles of anxiety and can’t seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. 80 .
A. That’s the bad news
B. Put your feelings down
C. Control your inner dialogue
D. Best of all, you can get things done
E. Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts
F. This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stresses
G. Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later
Passage 2
(24-25高二上·河南商丘·期中)
When stuck in negative (消极的) energy, it’s hard to break free. 81 Whatever method is employed, do remember that your happiness matters most.
Forgive those who have wronged you in the past. Think about all of the people who have hurt you, whether it was recently or a long time ago. Do you still harbor negative feelings toward these individuals? 82 Take a moment to mentally forgive the people who have hurt you, and throw away their influence from your life. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to trust or like the person in question. It means that you’re absolving yourself of the issue and the bad emotions that comes with it.
Always put your own happiness first. Thinking of others more than of yourself is true. 83 Before agreeing to do something with a friend or family member, decide if it’s something that would make you happy or not. By avoiding stressful activities and tasks, you can invite a lot more positive, productive energy into your life. For instance, if you don’t like traveling but your friends invite you on a weekend trip in the city, put your foot down and explain why you would rather not go.
84 If you want to achieve something big, think of actionable ways you can attain them. Don’t expect to fulfill your dreams in a week or a month — instead, divide them into small, achievable baby measures. As you achieve each measure, take a moment to celebrate the little achievements! If you want to become fluent in another language, you’ll need to develop a study plan first. 85
A. Take separate steps to achieve your goals.
B. Take measures to celebrate the achievements.
C. Luckily, there are ways to bring in positive energy.
D. Lots of practice is the best way to improve your language skills.
E. However, you should try not to forget about yourself in the process.
F. If so, you could be welcoming negative energy into your life without realizing it.
G. Start by learning basic grammar and vocabulary, and then work your way up to speaking conversationally.
Passage 3
(24-25高二上·河南南阳·期中)
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
86 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 87 Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 88 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 89 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 90 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.
Passage 4
(24-25高二上·河大附中·期中)
Resilience (韧性) is that amazing skill that helps you recover quickly from difficulties. If you are resilient, then when life knocks you down, you bounce back and you keep going. 91 So how do you become a more resilient person?
●Stop your negative thought cycles.
Often when bad things happen, we get stuck thinking about negative outcomes. 92 Unfortunately, negative thought cycles just get us caught up in our thoughts. To put an end to these negative thought cycles, you can focus on something else entirely.
●Question the catastrophe (灾难).
Catastrophizing is when we expect the worst possible outcome in a situation. When we believe the worst will come true, we set ourselves up for unnecessary stress and poor resilience. 93 Every time you find yourself imagining the worst, touch the object and remind yourself that the best possible outcome is just as likely to occur as the worst possible outcome.
●Find the benefits of past challenges and failures.
Plenty of smart folks will tell you that you should take action and reflect on your failures right after you experience them. 94 An easier way to start may be to look at past challenges—challenges that you’re no longer upset about. For example, if you missed an important deadline, maybe you learned that you need to arrange better, or tone down your perfectionism,
● 95
When you’re experiencing a challenge, the ability to think about your experiences as if you were “a fly on the wall”, or as if you were someone else who is witnessing your experiences from afar, keeps you from getting stuck in your negative emotions. Emotional distancing also makes it less likely that you will replay the unpleasant details of the event, and as a result, you may feel better when bad things happen.
A. Emotionally distance yourself from challenges.
B. But negative emotions can cloud your thinking.
C. Many things may make you feel uncomfortable in life.
D. Sometimes life’s challenges can even make you stronger.
E. One way to break this thought pattern is to carry a small object with you.
F. We mistakenly believe thinking about our hardships will help us solve them.
G. The ability to find the silver linings in stressful situations helps us generate positive emotions.

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南郑州外国语·期中)
When is bedtime? 96 Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun.
For a long time, people assumed that daylight told animals when to go to sleep or wake up. See light, wake. See dark, sleep. Then, in 1729, a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa (含羞草), a plant that folds up its leaves at night. 97
From time to time, he peeked inside. To his surprise, the leaves continued to open and close each day as usual, even in total darkness. And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning, noon, or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day. 98
Every cell in the body has its own tiny time-clicker. A master timekeeper in the brain keeps all these cell clocks in step. For humans, a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job. 99 The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” chemicals to all your cells.
You can feel light reset your clock if you fly to a different time zone. For a few days you get sleepy at bedtime back home even if it’s afternoon in your new place. This is called “jet lag”. 100 But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are, and you’re back on schedule.
So don’t worry if you forget your watch—your clock inside will keep you on sun time.
A. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock.
B. That’s your body’s internal clock at work.
C. If you don’t have a phone or watch, don’t worry.
D. To learn more about this, scientists did some research.
E. They signal when they see strong daylight or growing darkness.
F. He put some of the plants in a cupboard and kept them in constant darkness.
G. These timekeepers cause cells to do different things at different times of day.

So, how do you find a workout partner?
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 12 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 13 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.

Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 14
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 15 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.

Accept their weaknesses. No one is perfect. 20 . Don’t try to change things about your friend that you think are bad or holding them back. They probably know what they are just as much as you do.

How to Improve Communication in the Workplace
Communicating effectively with coworkers is key to having a positive experience at work. Are you trying to improve your communication skills as a manager? 21 .
You should understand which method to use. Not every issue deserves its own meeting. When you have something to communicate, consider its importance, urgency, and pick the right channel (渠道) accordingly. Have a simple team reminder? A quick group message or email can get the point across. 22 ? A face-to-face meeting might be the better method.
23 . Meetings that happen regularly can give space for employees to bring up concerns they otherwise wouldn’t know when to bring up. If they aren’t ready, suggest setting up one-to-one meetings with your direct supervisor. Team meetings can also allow team members to share concerns more widely with others.
You should make meetings efficient. Research shows that only 50 percent of time spent in meetings is considered a good use of time by attendees. Here are some best practices to make meetings efficient and effective: Try to avoid recycling agendas. Send out the agenda and other materials that will be discussed. 24 .
You should create an open culture. Creating a trusting environment is key to good communication in a workplace. 25 . Though remote working has become increasingly common, people still need and want personal human interaction. Chat platforms can allow informal conversations that connect in-person and remote workers.
A. Here are a few things to keep in mind
B. Do you want a chance to attend meetings
C. So people have the chance to preview them
D. You should improve your communication skills
E. Need you to learn or teach somebody how to use a tool
F. You should schedule regular one-to-one and team meetings
G. It’s a place where people feel comfortable voicing concerns and asking questions
【答案】21. A 22. E 23. F 24. C 25. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。与同事有效沟通是获得积极工作体验的关键。文章提供了一些方法以提高管理者的沟通技巧。
21.根据空前“Communicating effectively with coworkers is key to having a positive experience at work. Are you trying to improve your communication skills as a manager?(与同事有效沟通是获得积极工作体验的关键。作为管理者,你在努力提高你的沟通技巧吗?)”结合后文提供了一些方法以提高管理者的沟通技巧。故A项“以下是需要记住的几点”符合语境。故选A。
22.根据本段主题句“You should understand which method to use.(你应该知道该使用哪种方法)”;上文“A quick group message or email can get the point across.(一个快速的群组信息或电子邮件可以让你明白你的意思)”及空后“A face-to-face meeting might be the better method.(面对面的会谈可能是更好的方法)”可知,本句主要针对是否如何进行更好地沟通所采用的方法进行举例设问。故E项“你需要学习或教别人如何使用工具吗”符合语境。故选E。
23.根据后文“If they aren’t ready, suggest setting up one-to-one meetings with your direct supervisor. Team meetings can also allow team members to share concerns more widely with others.(如果他们还没有准备好,建议和你的直接主管安排一对一的会议。团队会议还可以让团队成员更广泛地与其他人分享关注的问题)”可知,本段的主旨是定期进行团队会议。故F项“你应该安排定期的一对一会议和团队会议”符合语境。故选F。

25.根据空前“Creating a trusting environment is key to good communication in a workplace.(创造一个信任的环境是工作场所良好沟通的关键)”可知,本句承接上文,说明创造一个信任的环境的意义或作用。G项“人们会很自在地表达自己的担忧并提出问题”符合语境。故选G。

Tips for Staying Motivated
To succeed in high school and college, you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated. Here are several ways to help you stay on the right track.
●Focus on high-impact activities.
Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to deal with any of it. 26 Although it’s tempting to do the simplest assignments first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.
● 27
Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time.
●Set achievable goals.
If you’re having trouble writing a 25-page paper for class because it seems like such a big job, don’t focus on that final number. 28 You can handle any project in small pieces.
●Find a social support network.
Create a group of people around you who want to help you succeed. They can be teachers or family members who can give you guidance and help you develop new skills. 29
●Acknowledge your accomplishments.
30 Take a walk, send an e-mail, get a snack... whatever works for you. Then move on the next project.
A. Then, make a plan.
B. Create new challenges.
C. Rearrange your time and devote more energy to your work.
D. The key to success in school is staying focused on your coursework.
E. Give yourself a quick reward when you complete an assignment or a task.
F. Break the paper down and consider each section of your paper individually.

To some extent, smartphones are extensions (延伸) of our hands, but it’s easy to forget how much time we actually spend on them. Here are ways for you to get rid of (摆脱) this addiction.
36 . They keep us connected to friends, work, the news and funny videos. But when you start feeling anxious about not having your phone around, that’s different. It’s one thing to feel inconvenient, but it’s another to feel really anxious. Is that the case with you? 37 ? If so, start slow. Try leaving your phone at home for short, controlled periods to take a quick walk. Gradually, it’s okay even without a phone for a long time.
I found myself checking my phone from time to time. And what do I find? Nothing new. 38 . It’s just the habit of checking for the sake of (为了) checking. So, how have I been getting rid of this habit? One strategy is to create some trouble. Set your phone to require a password to unlock rather than immediately open it through facial recognition.
If you find yourself pulling out your phone during dinner with friends, at family gatherings, or even when someone is telling you something important, this might be a sign of phone addiction. 39 . That is, when I’m about to meet with friends, I set my phone to “Do Not Disturb (干扰) ” mode or put it on airplane mode. I’ve even left my phone in my bag, car, or another room just to break the constant desire to check it. It feels awkward at first. 40 .
A. Here’s a trick I’ve found helpful
B. Our phones are necessary tools these days

Want a relaxing but fun challenge at home? 46 Puzzles have been around for more than 250 years and the challenge of working out where each piece goes and carefully recreating the scene on the box lid can keep you busy for hours, days or even weeks.
Puzzles come in a huge range of sizes and difficulty levels. For beginners, a 100-piece puzzle is usually a good starting point. 47 Try grouping pieces with the same colors or design because they will probably go in the same area once the puzzle takes shape.
48 Those pieces are easier to find because they have a straight side. Stay patient as you search through and try to make it fit together. You may not find any connecting pieces for ages but then several may suddenly appear.
For a real test, puzzles that have 1, 000 pieces or more are a tough task and it’s best to complete them with friends or family if you can. Choosing a scene that interests you, such as a favourite film, sport or location, can help keep you interested and determined to work to the final piece. You can get fun educational puzzles, too. 49
Some of the best places to pick up puzzles are charity shops. They’re often on sale for less than £5. Once you have completed a puzzle, it’s nice to exchange it with a friend. 50 You just upload an image, such as a family scene, and they will make a puzzle from it and post it to you. It makes lovely and unusual present.
A. So others can have a go.
B. Some companies make personalized puzzles.
C. It can get you used to sorting out how the shapes, patterns and colors go together.
D. However, a good start doesn’t always lead to a good result.
E. For example, you may try a map of the world or historical timelines.
F. A good puzzle is a better choice.
G. Most people like to start by getting the four edges of a puzzle laid out.
【答案】46. F 47. C 48. G 49. E 50. B
【解析】

Body language of pets is different based on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. If you’re unsure of your pet’s body language, consider reading some articles for your specific animal. 51 , as you can even copy some of its movements, expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
When dogs feel stressed out or threatened, their eyes will look larger than normal. If your dog isn’t looking directly at you, but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes, it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. 52 .
If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly, it’s likely communicating affection. You can do this back at your cat to show your love, too. 53 . If your cat feels threatened, its tail will likely be upright; its back will likely bearched, too.
54 . If your bird’s pupils (瞳孔) enlarge and shrink rapidly, this can be a sign that it’s excited, greatly interested, scared or angry. 55 . Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves; if their feathers remain shaking, however, this could mean they’re unwell, in which case, take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
A. You pet’s health depends on your daily care
B. The context is important in telling which emotion it might be
C. Birds can be quite expressive through their eyes and feathers
D. Once familiar with each other’s body language, cats can play together
E. For cats, closing one’s eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust
F. If your dog is feeling aggressive, its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid body
G. Understanding your pet’s body language will help you to be a better communicator

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南许昌·期中)
To make science’s stories more concrete and engaging, it’s important to use some effective strategies. Here are four of them.
Put people in the story
Science’s stories often lack human characters. 56 . Characters can be also people affected by a scientific topic, or interested in learning more about it. Besides, they can be storytellers who are sharing their personal experiences.
57
People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. 58 . And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information.
Include what people care about
Scientific topics are important, but they may not always be the public’s most pressing concerns. In April 2024, a polling company found that “the quality of the environment” was one of the lowest-ranked priorities among people in the US. The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. 59 .
Tell science's stories
Scientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. 60 . Think about all of a story’s characteristics — character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content - and how you might incorporate them into the topic.
A. Explain science as a process
B. Shoot attractive short science videos
C. Scientists themselves can actually become ideal ones
D. This practice is to stress why the content is important
E. You can tell growth stories of remarkable teenage scientists
F. Science communicators can emphasize how science is conducted
G. You may as well borrow features from stories to strengthen your message
【答案】56. C 57. A 58. F 59. D 60. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种使科学故事更具体且引人入胜的策略。
56.上文“Science’s stories often lack human characters. (科学的故事往往缺乏人物角色。)”说明科学的故事缺乏人物角色。空处顺接上文,应介绍科学故事中的人物可以是谁。C项中的ideal ones指代前文中的human characters,说明C项“科学家本身可以成为理想的人物角色”,符合语境。故选C。
57.下文“People often think of science as objective and fair. But science is actually a human practice that continuously involves choices, missteps and biases (偏见) . If you explain science as a course, you can walk people through the sequence of how science is done and why researchers reach certain conclusions. (人们通常认为科学是客观和公正的。但实际上,科学是一种不断涉及选择、失误和偏见的人类活动。如果你把科学解释为一个过程,你可以带领人们了解科学研究的步骤以及研究人员为何会得出特定的结论。)”说明本段主要介绍了如果把科学解释成一个过程,你可以带领人们了解科学是如何进行的。A项“将科学解释为一个过程。”适合作本段的主旨句,统领全段。故选A。
58.下文“And they can also stress the reason why people should trust the course of science to provide the most accurate conclusions possible given the available information. (他们还可以强调为什么人们应该信任科学的过程,因为这一过程能够在现有信息的基础上提供尽可能准确的结论。)”说明科学传播者可以让人们信任科学的过程。空处和下文并列说出科学传播者的作用。下文中的they指代F项中的Science communicators,说明科学传播者可以强调科学是如何进行的,也可以强调为什么人们应该信任科学的过程。所以F项“科学传播者可以强调科学是如何进行的”符合语境。故选F。
59.上文“The stories about the environment could weave in connections to higher-priority topics. (关于环境的故事可能会与更高优先级的话题交织在一起。)”说明关于环境的故事可以与更高优先级的主题联系起来。空处指出这样的目的。D项中的“This practice”指代前文中的“将环境故事与更高优先级主题联系起来”这一做法,说明D项“这样做是为了强调内容的重要性。”符合语境。故选D。
60.上文“Scientists, of course, can be science communicators, but everyone can tell science’s stories. When we share information online about health, or talk to friends and family about the weather, we contribute to information that circulates about science topics. (当然,科学家可以成为科学传播者,但每个人都可以讲述科学的故事。当我们在网上分享有关健康的信息,或与朋友和家人谈论天气时,我们为传播有关科学主题的信息做出了贡献。)”说明我们每个人通过分享日常生活中的信息,都可以成为科学传播者。空处顺接前文,引出下文,指出如何做来强化信息的传递。G项中的“borrow features from stories”和下文中的“a story’s characteristics - character, action, sequence, scope, storyteller and content”相呼应,所以G项“你也不妨借用故事的特点来加强你的信息”符合语境。故选G。
Passage 2
(24-25高二上·河南信高贤岭校区·期中)
One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview. 61 In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.
Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence. However, don’t exaggerate (夸张); tell the truth. 62 Notice the interviewer’s interests and relate your comments to them.
63 Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.
Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field. 64 If you believe that this area presents a real barrier to a job offer, you could be communicating this doubt to the interviewer. Many times, however, an interviewer will ignore these sensitive areas if you have a confident, positive attitude.
The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”. 65 Interviewers have the intelligence to recognize genuine enthusiasm and interest.
A. Answer sensitive questions briefly and positively.
B. Show confidence in yourself and your ability to do the job.
C. Some people lose job opportunities because of talking too much.
D. If unsure of job requirements, ask questions to see if you're qualified.
E. Remember that you have the power to create a favourable impression.
F. There are thousands of people entering new careers and searching for jobs.
G. Second, listen carefully and get involved in what the interviewer is saying.
【答案】61. F 62. G 63. D 64. A 65. E
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些如何面试成功的技巧和建议。
61.根据空前“One of the most important elements of successful job hunting is the job interview.(找工作最重要的因素之一就是面试)”和空后“In order to give yourself an edge over others applying for the job you want, it is important to create a solid impression during the job interview.(为了在申请你想要的工作时让自己比别人有优势,在面试中给人留下深刻印象是很重要的)”可知,空前是面试的重要性,空后提到面试中想要比别人有优势,留下深刻印象是很重要的,故F项“有几千人步入新的工作,找工作。”能够承接前文。最重要的因素就是面试,每年有几千人在找工作,因此想要在面试中比别人有优势,留下深刻的印象是很重要的。故选F项。
62.根据空前“Because what you say during an interview is so important, there are two rules to remember. One is to present yourself in a favourable way and stress your areas of excellence.(因为你在面试中说的话很重要,因此要记住这两条规则。其中一个就是以一种有利的方式呈现自己,强调自己优秀的地方)”可知,空前提到有两条规则,且介绍了其中一条,故G项“第二,认真听,投入到面试者所说的话。”能够承接前文,继续介绍前文提到的两条规则中的另一条。故选G项。
63.根据空后“Don't be afraid to ask for a second interview if you need time to gather information that will be more useful in the second interview. Most interviewers will appreciate your questions and your ability to listen and respond.(如果你需要时间收集第二次面试中更有用的信息,不要害怕要求第二次面试。大多数面试官都会欣赏你的问题以及你的倾听和回应能力)”可知,空后提到要勇敢询问第二次面试所需要的信息,故D项“如果不确定工作要求,提出问题看自己是否符合。”能够引出后文。如果不确定工作要求,直接提出问题,如果需要时间收集第二次面试中有用的信息,直接要求第二次面试即可,故本段主要介绍大胆提出问题。故选D项。
64.根据空前“Each of us has sensitive areas, which could refer to your lack of an academic degree, a long period of unemployment, or lack of work experience if you are entering a new field.(我们每个人都有敏感区,这可能是你没有学位,长期失业,或者如果你进入了一个新领域,缺乏工作经验)”可知,空前列举了一些敏感区的问题,故此处应提出如何应对,故A项“简单并积极地回答敏感的问题。”能够承接前文,提出在面对自己的敏感区时,应简单并积极地回答这些问题。故选A项。
65.根据空前“The job interview is an important part of the job search because the attitude and impression you project can make the interviewer feel “with you” or “against you”.(面试是求职的重要组成部分,因为你表现出的态度和印象会让面试官感到“支持你”或者“反对你。”)”可知,空前提到在面试中,你的态度和印象是面试官决定留下你或者拒绝你的重要因素,故E项“记住,你有力量创造一个好的印象。”能够承接前文。你的态度和印象决定了面试的结果,你有力量创造一个好的印象。故选E项。
Passage 3
(24-25高二上·河南濮阳·期中)
What is the origin of Family History Month?
Every human has a history of some sort or another. Usually, that history goes far back beyond ourselves. Every ancestor we have has left his mark on us. 66 . Many people find that there is a certain comfort in knowing where they came from, and that’s why Family History Month was started.
How to celebrate Family History Month?
Celebrating the history of the family is obviously something that should happen all year round! Try out some of these ideas to get started:
* Compile (编纂) a family history
It all starts with collecting what people know about their families and compiling it together. 67 . They include documents and records, old photographs, and verbal stories from the still- living members of the family.
Those people who are particularly lucky will have had a family member who has started the basics for them. 68 . Today it’s a little easier than it used to be. Websites and organizations are easily found that can help people trace (追溯) their family lines.
* 69
Don’t let another day go by without hearing the stories that living family members have to tell about their childhoods and the family history. Whether you visit them in person or arrange for a phone call or video conversation, older family members can be vitally important to keep the family history alive. Ask them to share some stories. It will not only give information but will be good for the relationship and help them to feel needed and loved. Remember to take very good notes or record what they have to say for later generations.
* Engage with a genealogy (家谱) website
Let someone else do the hard work of finding out all of that family history and background! 70 . Try out the genealogy websites and services, such as FamilySearch, Ancestry and MyHeritage for ideas of where to get started.
A. Connect with an older family member
B. Focus more on the telling of the elderly
C. If not, it’s probably time to take action
D. This can be done through the use of many materials
E. That has been the formation of tradition and culture within our lives
F. It carried the honors and dishonors of everyone who came before them
G. Getting connected to the past is much more practical with the help of professionals
【答案】66. E 67. D 68. C 69. A 70. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了家庭历史月的起源和庆祝家庭历史月的方式。
66.根据空格前的句子“Every ancestor we have has left his mark on us.(我们的每个祖先都在我们身上留下了印记)”可知,E项“That has been the formation of tradition and culture within our lives(这就是我们生活中传统和文化的形成)”填入空格处,符合语境,因为E项中的that指的是“我们的每个祖先都在我们身上留下了印记”这件事。故选E项。
67.根据空格前的句子“It all starts with collecting what people know about their families and compiling it together.(这一切都始于收集人们对他们家庭的了解,并将其汇编在一起)”可知,空格处的句子应该与收集材料有关,所以,D项“This can be done through the use of many materials(这可以通过使用许多材料来实现)”填入空格处,符合语境。D项中的this代指“收集人们对他们家庭的了解”这件事;下一句中的they代指D项中的materials。故填D项。
68.根据空格前的句子“Those people who are particularly lucky will have had a family member who has started the basics for them.(那些特别幸运的人会有一个家庭成员为他们开始基本的工作)”可知,前文说足够幸运的人可能已经有家人开始做一些编家庭历史的基础工作。下文应该接着说如果没有的话,该怎样做,所以C项“If not, it’s probably time to take action(如果没有,也许是时候采取行动了)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选C项。
69.空格处是该段的主题句。根据下文内容“Whether you visit them in person or arrange for a phone call or video conversation, older family members can be vitally important to keep the family history alive. Ask them to share some stories. It will not only give information but will be good for the relationship and help them to feel needed and loved. Remember to take very good notes or record what they have to say for later generations.(无论你是亲自拜访他们,还是安排电话或视频交谈,年长的家庭成员对于保持家族历史的活力至关重要。请他们分享一些故事。这不仅能提供信息,而且对关系有好处,让他们感到被需要和被爱。记住要做好笔记或记录他们对后代说的话)”可知,该段主要是说要和年长的家庭成员联系,请他们分享故事,提供信息。所以,A项“Connect with an older family member(与年长的家庭成员联系)”填入空格处,符合语境。故选A项。
70.根据空格前的句子“Let someone else do the hard work of finding out all of that family history and background!(让别人去做找出所有家族历史和背景的艰苦工作吧!)”和空格后的“Try out the genealogy websites and services(试试家谱网站和服务)”可知,G项“Getting connected to the past is much more practical with the help of professionals(在专业人士的帮助下,与过去联系起来更加实际)”填入空格处,符合语境,G项中的“with the help of professionals”和上文的“Let someone else do the hard work”、下文的“Try out the genealogy websites and services”是对应的。故选G项。

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南新乡·期中)
For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. 76 . The good one is that you can manage the symptoms (症状), so they don’t manage you. Here are some things you can do on any given day to get on the right side of calm.
Find an object to focus on
A simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention towards studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: color, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? 77 .
78
If you’re prone (易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you’re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. Writing will help you focus your thoughts, and reading your entry later can help you handle your anxiety better.
Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts
79 . Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. If you respond better to positivity, try replacing those fears with a happy thought — like how excited you are to go on a trip with your friends, and how fun it’s going to be!
Talk to someone about your anxiety
If you’re in the struggles of anxiety and can’t seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. 80 .
A. That’s the bad news
B. Put your feelings down
C. Control your inner dialogue
D. Best of all, you can get things done
E. Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts
F. This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stresses
G. Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later
【答案】76. A 77. F 78. B 79. E 80. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些控制焦虑症状的具体方法。
76.前文“For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. (在大多数情况下,焦虑是一种来来去去的状态。但对一些人来说,焦虑永远不会完全消失)”提到某些人会一直觉得焦虑,后文“The good one is that you can manage the symptoms (症状), so they don’t manage you. (好消息是你可以控制症状,所以症状不会控制你)”提到焦虑症状可以控制,这里需要一个转折,引出“坏消息”,因此A项“That’s the bad news (这是坏消息)”符合语境,其中的That指代前一句的内容。故选A。
77.前文“A simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention towards studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: color, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? (一个简单的练习就是找一个物体,把你所有的注意力放在学习上几分钟。一旦你选择了一个物体,开始考虑它的外观:颜色、形状和纹理。谁做的?你摸它的时候感觉如何)”具体介绍如何通过聚焦一个物体来缓解焦虑,这里需要解释这个练习的效果,因此F项“This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stresses (这个练习帮助你在现实中扎根,并排除任何压力)”符合语境,承接前文。故选F。
78.空处是段落标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式,后文“If you’re prone (易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you’re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. (如果你容易焦虑,写日记,写下你害怕什么,你的信念和对恐惧的想法)”表明本段与写日记,记录感受相关,这里需要一个概括性的建议,因此B项“Put your feelings down (把你的感受写下来)”符合语境,契合后文内容。故选B。
79.本段标题是“Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts (挑战和取代不现实的想法)”,后文“Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. (找出产生焦虑的不切实际的想法,用快乐、平和或更现实的想法取代它们)”给出如何取代不现实的想法的方法,这里应该是整个方法的第一步,因此E项“Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts (提醒自己,你的想法不是事实)”符合语境,呼应标题,引出后文,其中的not facts和前后文的unrealistic呼应。故选E。
80.前文“If you’re in the struggles of anxiety and can’t seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. (如果你正在焦虑中挣扎,似乎无法摆脱,打电话给朋友、家人或心理健康专家寻求帮助。让他们转移你的注意力,把你的恐惧说出来,这样你就能克服压力)”建议向他人求助,说出自己的焦虑,并指出其用处,这里应该会点明这一做法的重要性,因此G项“Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later (知道向谁寻求帮助是避免以后出现严重问题的重要一步)”符合语境,承接前文。故选G。
Passage 2
(24-25高二上·河南商丘·期中)
When stuck in negative (消极的) energy, it’s hard to break free. 81 Whatever method is employed, do remember that your happiness matters most.
Forgive those who have wronged you in the past. Think about all of the people who have hurt you, whether it was recently or a long time ago. Do you still harbor negative feelings toward these individuals? 82 Take a moment to mentally forgive the people who have hurt you, and throw away their influence from your life. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to trust or like the person in question. It means that you’re absolving yourself of the issue and the bad emotions that comes with it.
Always put your own happiness first. Thinking of others more than of yourself is true. 83 Before agreeing to do something with a friend or family member, decide if it’s something that would make you happy or not. By avoiding stressful activities and tasks, you can invite a lot more positive, productive energy into your life. For instance, if you don’t like traveling but your friends invite you on a weekend trip in the city, put your foot down and explain why you would rather not go.
84 If you want to achieve something big, think of actionable ways you can attain them. Don’t expect to fulfill your dreams in a week or a month — instead, divide them into small, achievable baby measures. As you achieve each measure, take a moment to celebrate the little achievements! If you want to become fluent in another language, you’ll need to develop a study plan first. 85
A. Take separate steps to achieve your goals.
B. Take measures to celebrate the achievements.
C. Luckily, there are ways to bring in positive energy.
D. Lots of practice is the best way to improve your language skills.
E. However, you should try not to forget about yourself in the process.
F. If so, you could be welcoming negative energy into your life without realizing it.
G. Start by learning basic grammar and vocabulary, and then work your way up to speaking conversationally.

81.上文“When stuck in negative energy, it’s hard to break free.(当陷入消极能量时,很难挣脱出来)”表明陷入消极能量无法自拔的状态,下文“Whatever method is employed, do remember that your happiness matters most.(无论采用什么方法,都要记住你的幸福最重要)”及下一段“Forgive those who have wronged you in the past. ... Always put your own happiness first.(宽恕那些过去伤害过你的人。始终把个人的幸福放在首位)”开始介绍一些能够摆脱消极、 获取正能量的具体做法。C项“幸运的是,有一些带来正能量的方法。”承接前文的消极状况,表示转折,引出下文的具体方法,承上启下,使文章逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选C项。
82.上文“Do you still harbor negative feelings toward these individuals?(你是否仍然对这些人怀有消极情绪呢?)”提出了一个关于对伤害过自己的人所持态度的疑问,F项“如果是这样,你可能在没有意识到的情况下将消极能量引入到你的生活中。”说明了上文带来的后果,很好地衔接了上文的疑问,符合语境。故选F项。
83.上文“Thinking of others more than of yourself is true.(考虑别人多于考虑自己是正确的)”提到要考虑他人,E项“然而,在这个过程中你应该尽量不要忘记自己。”与上文构成转折,强调了在关注他人的过程中不能忘记自己,与本段小标题“Always put your own happiness first.(把自己的幸福放在首位)”表达的要重视自身需求的意思相呼应,符合语境。故选E项。
84.下文“If you want to achieve something big, think of actionable ways you can attain them. Don’t expect to fulfill your dreams in a week or a month — instead, divide them into small, achievable baby measures.(如果你想实现某个大目标,那就想出一些你可以实现它们的可行方法。不要期望在一周或一个月内就能实现梦想——相反,将它们分解成小的、可实现的步骤)”阐述了实现大目标要采取分步骤的方式。A项“采取单独的步骤来实现你的目标。”概括下文将大目标细化为小步骤去实现这一内容,适合作为该段落的主题句,符合语境。 故选A项。
85.上文“If you want to become fluent in another language, you’ll need to develop a study plan first.(如果你想流利地掌握另一门语言,你首先需要制定一个学习计划)”举例说明学习语言要先制定计划,G项“从学习基本语法和词汇开始,然后逐步提升到进行对话交流。”具体说明制定学习语言计划后的学习步骤,与本段标题“Take separate steps to achieve your goals.(采取单独的步骤来实现你的目标)”相呼应,表明要一步步实现流利掌握另一种语言的目标,符合语境。故选G项。
Passage 3
(24-25高二上·河南南阳·期中)
Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
86 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 87 Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 88 Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 89 As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. 90 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.
【答案】86. D 87. B 88. E 89. F 90. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是写文章的技巧。
86.空格处是本段的主题句,由空后的“When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper.(当你第一次想写一篇文章的时候,把笔放在纸上,不间断地写10到15分钟,不要让笔离开纸。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要学会不间断地写,D选项“First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.(首先,学习不间断写作的技巧。)”概括了本段的主要内容,可作为主题句,故选D。
87.空前说“Stay loose and free.(保持宽松和自由。)”,空后说“Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.(不要担心语法和拼写。)”,因此空格处应说按心里想的写,自由发挥,B选项“Let your pen follow the waves of thought.(让你的笔跟随思想的波浪。)”说明了按自己的思路和想法来写,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选B。
88.空前说“The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.(下一个技巧是快速写草稿,不要担心是否完美。)”,空后说“Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper.(然而,通过学习与不完美共存,你将避免自己的头痛和一个装满皱巴巴的废纸篓。)”,E选项“Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.(太多的作家试图在第一次就把草稿写好。)”中的“get their drafts”和上文的“write your draft”相呼应,说明了有很多人想一次就写好,这是不合理的,要学会允许不完美的存在,因此E选项承上启下,符合语境,故选E。
89.空前说“The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision.(第三种方法是打印出三倍行距的副本,以便有修改的空间。)”,F选项“Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.(许多初来乍到的作者没有留出足够的修改空间。)”中的“revise”和前面的“revision”一致,指出了新手作者的常见做法,且其中的“Many beginning writers”和后文的“these writers”相互呼应,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
90.空前说“After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor.(当你修改你的草稿,直到它太乱以至于无法继续工作,你可以把你的修改输入到你的文字处理器中。)”,空后说“The resulting blank space invites you to revise.(由此产生的空白允许您修改。)”,因此空格处应说输入到文字处理器后应该做什么,G选项“Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.(然后你可以打印一份新的草稿,同样将文本设置为三倍行距。)”说的是输入到你的文字处理器后的做法,其中的“triple-space”和后文的“The resulting blank space”相呼应,因此G选项承上启下,符合语境,故选G。
Passage 4
(24-25高二上·河大附中·期中)
Resilience (韧性) is that amazing skill that helps you recover quickly from difficulties. If you are resilient, then when life knocks you down, you bounce back and you keep going. 91 So how do you become a more resilient person?
●Stop your negative thought cycles.
Often when bad things happen, we get stuck thinking about negative outcomes. 92 Unfortunately, negative thought cycles just get us caught up in our thoughts. To put an end to these negative thought cycles, you can focus on something else entirely.
●Question the catastrophe (灾难).
Catastrophizing is when we expect the worst possible outcome in a situation. When we believe the worst will come true, we set ourselves up for unnecessary stress and poor resilience. 93 Every time you find yourself imagining the worst, touch the object and remind yourself that the best possible outcome is just as likely to occur as the worst possible outcome.
●Find the benefits of past challenges and failures.
Plenty of smart folks will tell you that you should take action and reflect on your failures right after you experience them. 94 An easier way to start may be to look at past challenges—challenges that you’re no longer upset about. For example, if you missed an important deadline, maybe you learned that you need to arrange better, or tone down your perfectionism,
● 95
When you’re experiencing a challenge, the ability to think about your experiences as if you were “a fly on the wall”, or as if you were someone else who is witnessing your experiences from afar, keeps you from getting stuck in your negative emotions. Emotional distancing also makes it less likely that you will replay the unpleasant details of the event, and as a result, you may feel better when bad things happen.
A. Emotionally distance yourself from challenges.
B. But negative emotions can cloud your thinking.
C. Many things may make you feel uncomfortable in life.
D. Sometimes life’s challenges can even make you stronger.
E. One way to break this thought pattern is to carry a small object with you.
F. We mistakenly believe thinking about our hardships will help us solve them.
G. The ability to find the silver linings in stressful situations helps us generate positive emotions.

93.根据空后内容“Every time you find yourself imagining the worst, touch the object and remind yourself that the best possible outcome is just as likely to occur as the worst possible outcome.(每当你发现自己在想象最坏的情况时,摸一下那个东西,提醒自己最好的结果和最坏的结果发生的可能性是一样的)”可判断,空处需要提到一样东西提醒自己最好的结果和最坏的结果发生的可能性是一样的。选项E“One way to break this thought pattern is to carry a small object with you.(打破这种思维模式的一个方法就是随身携带一个小物件。)”与下文内容一致。故选E。
94.根据空前内容“Plenty of smart folks will tell you that you should take action and reflect on your failures right after you experience them.(很多聪明的人会告诉你,你应该在经历失败后立即采取行动并反思自己的失败)”可知,很多人都认为经历失败后应立即采取行动,并反思自己的失败。选项B“But negative emotions can cloud your thinking.(但是负面情绪会影响你的思维。)”与上文内容存在转折关系,指出负面情绪会影响思维,同时引出下文的方法“An easier way to start may be to look at past challenges—challenges that you're no longer upset about.(一个更简单的开始方法可能是回顾过去的挑战——那些你不再为之烦恼的挑战)”。故选B。
95.空处为小标题,为本段主旨句。根据本段内容“When you’re experiencing a challenge, the ability to think about your experiences as if you were “a fly on the wall”, or as if you were someone else who is witnessing your experiences from afar, keeps you from getting stuck in your negative emotions. Emotional distancing also makes it less likely that you will replay the unpleasant details of the event, and as a result, you may feel better when bad things happen.(当你面临挑战时,把你的经历想象成“墙上的一只苍蝇”,或者把你想象成一个从远处目睹你经历的人,这样你就不会陷入消极情绪中。情感距离也使你不太可能重提事件中不愉快的细节,因此,当不好的事情发生时,你可能会感觉更好)”可知,本段主要建议我们通过将自己视为旁观者来避免陷入负面情绪中,从而保持更好的心态面对挑战。选项A“Emotionally distance yourself from challenges.(从情感上让自己远离挑战。)”概括了本段的主要内容,适合作为段落标题句。故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25高二上·河南郑州外国语·期中)
When is bedtime? 96 Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun.
For a long time, people assumed that daylight told animals when to go to sleep or wake up. See light, wake. See dark, sleep. Then, in 1729, a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa (含羞草), a plant that folds up its leaves at night. 97
From time to time, he peeked inside. To his surprise, the leaves continued to open and close each day as usual, even in total darkness. And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning, noon, or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day. 98
Every cell in the body has its own tiny time-clicker. A master timekeeper in the brain keeps all these cell clocks in step. For humans, a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job. 99 The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” chemicals to all your cells.
You can feel light reset your clock if you fly to a different time zone. For a few days you get sleepy at bedtime back home even if it’s afternoon in your new place. This is called “jet lag”. 100 But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are, and you’re back on schedule.
So don’t worry if you forget your watch—your clock inside will keep you on sun time.
A. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock.
B. That’s your body’s internal clock at work.
C. If you don’t have a phone or watch, don’t worry.
D. To learn more about this, scientists did some research.
E. They signal when they see strong daylight or growing darkness.
F. He put some of the plants in a cupboard and kept them in constant darkness.
G. These timekeepers cause cells to do different things at different times of day.
【答案】96. C 97. F 98. G 99. E 100. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了生物钟的作用。
96.根据上文“When is bedtime?”(什么时候睡觉?)并根据下文“Inside every living thing is a clock that follows the sun.”(每个生物体内都有一个时钟,它跟随太阳转动。)可知,每个人体内都有生物钟,所以什么时候睡觉不需要依赖手机或者手表。故C选项“如果你没有手机或手表,也不用担心”切题。故选C项。
97.根据上文“Then, in 1729, a French scientist named Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan did an experiment with a mimosa (含羞草), a plant that folds up its leaves at night.”(1729年,法国科学家Jean-Jacques d 'Ortous de Mairan用含羞草做了一个实验,含羞草是一种夜间折叠叶子的植物。)可知,选项承接上文继续说明在含羞草在黑夜的实验。故F选项“他把一些植物放在橱柜里,让它们一直处于黑暗中。”切题。故选F项。
98.根据上文“And he had discovered a new thing about living creatures. Inside every cell, there is a tiny clock that keeps track of whether it’s morning, noon, or night on the 24-hour cycle of a day.”(他发现了一个关于生物的新现象。在每个细胞内,都有一个微小的时钟,记录着一天24小时周期中的早晨、中午或者晚上。)可知,选项承接上文说明微小的时钟(计时细胞)的工作情况。故G选项“这些计时器使细胞在一天的不同时间做不同的事情。”切题。These timekeepers与前文“a tiny clock”呼应。故选G项。
99.根据上文“For humans, a small group of cells at the back of the eye are in charge of the special job.”(对于人类来说,眼睛后部的一小群细胞负责这项特殊的工作)及下文“But soon the bright light in the morning and dark at night will reset your master clock to match the local time where you are, and you’re back on schedule.”(但很快,早晨明亮的光线和晚上黑暗的光线会重置你的主时钟,使其与你所在的地方的时间相匹配,你就又回到了计划中。)可知,选项承接上文说明这些细胞对光的反应。故E选项“当它们看到强烈的日光或逐渐变暗时,就会发出信号”切题。故选E项。
100.根据上文“This is called “jet lag”.”(这就是所谓的“时差”)可知,选项承接上文说明时差产生的原因。故B选项“这是你身体内部的生物钟在起作用”切题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人们在看电影时为什么有不同的情绪反应。
101.根据段落小标题“Personal Experiences(个人经历)”可知,本段讲述个人经历对观影人的影响。上文“When an individual encounters a particular scene or character in a movie that resonates(产生共鸣)with their own life experiences, it awakens emotional memories, making them more easily influenced by the movie.( 当一个人在电影中遇到与自己的生活经历产生共鸣的特定场景或角色时,它会唤醒情感记忆,使他们更容易受到电影的影响。)”提到一个人在电影中遇到与自己的生活经历产生共鸣的特定场景或角色时,会唤醒情感记忆。下文“he is likely to feel a deeper connection due to their shared experience.( 他可能会因为他们共同的经历而感到更深的联系。)”说明他很可能因为他们共同的经历而感到深深的联系,因此D项If someone has a broken arm and watches a movie about a disabled person .(如果某人手臂骨折了,看了一部关于残疾人的电影。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选D项。
102.根据段落小标题“Emotional State(情绪状态)”可知,本段讲述情绪状态对观影人的影响。下文的“he may be more easily touched by the emotional elements in the film, leading to tears or intense emotional resonance.( 他可能更容易被影片中的情感元素所感动,导致流泪或强烈的情感共鸣。)”对应的应是观影人自身的情绪状态,因此A项If a viewer is already feeling sad or sensitive(如果观众已经感到悲伤或敏感。)可知,和该段主旨意思一致,同时和下文形成完整的一句话,符合语境。故选A项。
103.根据段落小标题“Values and Beliefs(价值观和信仰)”可知,本段讲述自身的价值观和信仰也会影响观影人。以及下文“Different individuals may interpret and feel differently about the same movie based on their unique values and beliefs.( 不同的人可能会基于他们独特的价值观和信仰来解读和感受同一部电影。)”可知,中心词应为“values and beliefs”,因此E项People’s values and beliefs shape their opinions and reactions to movie content.(人们的价值观和信仰决定了他们对电影内容的看法和反应。)可知,和该段主旨意思一致,起到上下文的承上启下作用,符合语境。故选E项。

Such differences in focus can lead to varying responses to the movie.( 其他人可能更被电影的主题、社会信息或视觉效果所吸引。这种焦点上的差异会导致对电影的不同反应。)”可知,提及一些人被电影的主题、社交信息或视觉效果所吸引,由此可知,此处应列举关注点与之不同的一类人。因此C项Some may pay closer attention to the storyline and character development.(一些人可能会更关注故事情节和人物发展。)符合此推断,为说明另外一种情况,上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选C项。
105.本段为针对全文进行的总结。根据上文“In conclusion, the varying reactions people have to the same movie are a result of the complex interaction of these and other factors.( 总之,人们对同一部电影的不同反应是这些因素和其他因素复杂相互作用的结果。)”首先说观影人对电影的不同反应是以上几种因素相互作用的结果。结合选项G项Therefore, it’s improper to base a movie’s quality just on one person’s emotional response to it .(因此,仅仅根据一个人对电影的情感反应来评判一部电影的质量是不恰当的)可知,承接上文内容,为对上文内容的语意递进,上下文紧密连接,符合语境。故选G项。
