专题06 阅读理解 七选五 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江金砖联盟·期末） The pros and cons of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters(漂泊者) The issue of what to do with young night drifters has been much discussed. Many people think that the government ought to open more drop-in centers. 1 Following are the advantages and disadvantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters. One advantage of opening more drop-in centers is that it would keep young night drifters safe. 2 For example, they may fall victim to gangs and drug dealers. Some young night drifters are also bullied. This is probably due to the fact that they are young and vulnerable. Another argument that is commonly heard is that having more drop-in centers would decrease night drifting. Drop-in centers provide an easy way to offer young night drifters professional advice. Counsellors can give young drifters advice about how to solve problems with their families. 3 In addition to these advantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters, however, there are also a number of disadvantages. 4 According to these people, if there are more safe places for night drifters to hang out in, there is no motive for these young people to give up their nocturnal(夜间的) habits. Moreover, the attraction of having a special place to go to may encourage others to become night drifters as well. It is also argued that resources should be focused on providing services for all young people rather than just a small proportion of them. In other words, it may not be fair to support only night drifters. 5 However, personally, I believe that ensuring the safety of young people and giving night drifters counselling are both necessary. I therefore believe that more drop-in centers should be provided for young night drifters in the city. A．They can also help them to handle negative peer pressure. B．People believe that disadvantages outweigh advantages. C．It is clear that the issue is not black and white. D．However, it is an issue that still divides many people. E．Hence, more drop-in centers are of vital significance to them. F．Young people who walk the streets at night often fall into bad ways. G．Some people argue it actually fails to discourage night drifting. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江北仑中学·期中） My grandparents were always busy with food. My grandmother could pull out the feathers of a chicken in less than half an hour. They picked vegetables from their garden. Animal fat was saved. 1 Nearly a decade after my grandmother died, I found myself in a kitchen, pulling out the feathers of a chicken. It took hours and made my fingers hurt. After an adult life spent buying rather than growing food, as a so-called new farmer, I finally began to understand my grandparents. 2 My grandparents’ generation spent a third of their income on food. 3 Food is no longer seen as public goods, but as public given resources. The ecological cost of this progress is now clear. The health costs are starting to be noticed. But until I began talking to the farmers around me, I had not understood the human costs faced by those asked to produce milk sold for less than bottled water. 4 Called “ regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generation of farmers trying to find a new kind of power in the face of loss of climate change and rising fuel and transport costs. 5 Those plants and animals worked together to help the soil become rich again. They kept living roots in the ground all year round, building up the soil’s biology and taking in carbon. Research has found that regenerative farming not only benefits the land, but profits can be 78% higher than conventional farms. A．We spend less than a tenth. B．And any leftover meat was cut up for pies. C．Regenerative farming is welcomed by thousands of farmers now. D．I began to understand the work that we took for granted. E．I realized that keeping a big family was really a big burden for them. F．New technology helped these farmers raise a diversity of crops and farm animals. G．Then I came across a farming reform that sought to change this traditional system. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江9+1联盟·期中） Everybody lies to some degree. 1 However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers(弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for. 2 There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. 3 Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions——quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly—one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development. “ 4 When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks”. Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. 5 And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A．Listen to the voices. B．Get better at body language. C．The follow-up lie is more difficult. D．Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E．Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F．In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G．Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives. 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·浙江鄞州高中·期中） The UK, Finland, Germany, and Sweden are consistently the top performers in European tech ecosystems. These countries also have the largest economies in Europe. 1 Well, let’s find out now. 2 Even more amazing? This country is home to many basic scientific principles. The world’s first steam engines, electric motors, the internet, and the jet engine are all inventions of this country. The UK government and its businesses have been spending billions of dollars on research and development to drive innovation in Biotech. Finland is second in digital life overall, and first in cashless payment. This is because the internet plays a vital mole in Finland’s digital life. High-speed internet access and freedom of speech make the Finnish ecosystem more sustainable, with good internet access and mobile coverage in remote areas. 3 Since the beginning, Germany’s industry has supported scientific research. German society and economy take pride in their research-development efforts. 4 Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen are some examples. Sweden is a leader in technological innovation, with remarkable achievements in web development and mobile apps. For years, Ericsson and other large tech companies dominated the market. 5 Other Swedish companies like Spotify, Torrent, and Skype are now leading the charge. Above are some European countries with the most advanced technological and digital expertise. As we know, the race for technological progress between countries is never over. A．Here comes the truth. B．But the trend has turned today. C．Most residents there can surf the Internet easily. D．This is supported by evidence from global car brands. E．We want to see how Europe’s tech countries compare. F．Not all the countries experienced the smooth development. G．The British Empire was once the most developed country in the world. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江七彩阳光·期中） How Your Brain Plays Tricks on You Your brain is capable of remarkable things. But your mind is far from perfect. Sometimes, it forgets key details, leading you to make mistakes. 1 Your mind likes to take shortcuts. Your brain can get lazy. When trying to solve a problem or making a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that have worked in the past. Using shortcuts can be a useful approach when it allows you to make decisions quickly. 2 For example, plane crashes make you terrified of flying because your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing that flying is more dangerous. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. Your thinking is cheated by hidden biases. Sometimes you judge a person unfairly. For example, if a cafe worker gets your order wrong, you might decide that they are incompetent. Maybe they were just overwhelmed by orders. This is called attributional bias (归因偏见). 3 When it happens, you seek out information that confirms what you already believe, but ignore anything that opposes your beliefs. These cognitive biases can prevent you from thinking clearly and making wise decisions. They can even affect how you interact with the world. 4 Your brain is hard to take in every detail. It can be surprisingly easy to miss major changes. This is called change blindness. Change blindness might not seem like a huge problem, but research has shown that it can have major consequences. For example, people who control air traffic can make serious errors as a result of change blindness. Drivers are also vulnerable to change blindness, which can lead to accidents. Your brain likes to play the blame game. 5 In the process, we misunderstand reality to protect our self-esteem. For example: When you got badly sunburned, rather than acknowledging that you didn’t reapply sunscreen as often as you should have, you decide that the sunscreen itself must have been ineffective. Our brain do so to protect our self-esteem and guard us against the fear of failure. A．Your brain can be blind to change. B．Why do we engage in the blame game? C．Another bias that your brain falls prey to is confirmation bias. D．However, you can avoid some mistakes by learning more about it. E．When something bad happens, your brain tries to come up with a reason for it. F．But these mental shortcuts can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. G．With so much happening in the world, it can be hard for the brain to take in every detail. Passage 3 （23-24高二上·浙江杭州学军·期中） Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to decode dogs’ behaviour. 1. If your dog looks remorseful (羞愧的) when you walk in the door and see a mess… They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that ”guilty” look to the test in 2009. 1 Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty. 1. If your dog licks their mouth… They’re stressed Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. 2 The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. 3 1. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down… They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed triggers range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. 4 Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun. 1. If your dog leans into you during a petting session… They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then gauge their reaction. This is called a consent test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. 5 Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin. A．You could also discuss medication with your vet. B．It could be as simple as giving them more physical space. C．However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more cuddles, continue! D．If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. E．Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting. F．One found that it was a canine response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen G．In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner. 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·浙江A9协作体·期中） Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. 1 Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others. Make time for each other 2 The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. 3 If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. 4 It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse — blaming it on someone else. 5 Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A．Be dependable. B．Be a good listener. C．When you do so, you should mean it. D．A good friend is willing to stick their neck out on behalf of their friends. E．It will contribute to direct lines of communication between both of you. F．Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together. G．Because good friendships provide a sense of belonging and security, knowing you are loved. Passage 2 （23-24高二上·浙江浙南名校·期中） Nowadays most people spend four hours every day staring at the television! With adults spending so much time on it, little wonder that kids too spend more time in front of the television than outdoors. With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a “babysitter”. 1 However, most parents would rethink their strategy if they are aware of the side effects of over exposure to the television. Children watch on an average around 28 hours of television per week. 2 By the age of eight, aggression becomes so rooted in a child that it predicts adult aggression. Besides, it has been found that children who spend a lot of time in front of the television do poorly in school.   3 Consequently their social development will be affected. 4 So it’s almost impossible to completely ban it from our children’s life. However, as parents we could: • Get children interested in sports. • Encourage children to cultivate the reading habit. • Set a good example by limiting our own television viewing. • Help children develop other hobbies such as building models and drawing. • Choose the programs our children will watch, and stick to the schedule. Television eats up the time our children are not studying or sleeping. All those things we want them to be: a wild teenager, a scholar, a lover——when are they going to do all that? 5 Help them get a life——a real one! A．So stop letting our children live in a make-believe world. B．Television has been such an essential part of our daily lives. C．This includes violence and viewing not suitable for their age. D．Therefore, both parents and children should be aware of this fact. E．And their children are left in front of the TV to avoid making trouble. F．Moreover, it is harmful to children’s health, particularly their eyesight. G．TV watching also reduces the time children spend communicating with others. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江衢州五校·期中） You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your college experience. 1 Respect your roommate’s stuff This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don’t take it for granted that he’ll not mind if you take his cleats (钉鞋) for a quick soccer game? 2 Don’t borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first. 3 Don’t go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you’re at school. It may happen, but expecting it sets both of you up for trouble. You should be friendly with your roommate but also make sure you have your own social circles. Stay open to change You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school. 4 As the semester progresses, realize things will change for both of you. Be comfortable addressing things that unexpectedly come up, setting new rules, and being flexible to your changing environment. 5 No matter what your relationship is at the end of the year, you can take comfort knowing you acted like an adult and treated your roommate with respect. A．However, you just cross the line. B．Make friends to promote your relationship. C．Be friendly, without expecting to be best friends. D．And the same should happen to your roommate. E．Treat your roommate like you’d like to be treated. F．Don’t think you are not bothering others because you are roommates. G．Follow the tips below and your roommate relationships can be quite harmonious. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江浙南名校·期中） Overthinking can trap you in a cycle of worry and doubt, making decisions feel impossible. 1 Below are three strategies to help you break free and start living the life you deserve. Limit the Time You Spend on Decisions One of the main causes of overthinking is the fear of making the wrong decision, which often leads to hours, days, or even weeks of indecision. To counter this, give yourself a time limit to make decisions. By imposing a time limit, you force your brain to focus on what truly matters. 2 Overthinking, driven by worries about the past or future, pulls you from the present and increases stress. Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now. When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths. 3 These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking. Take Action to Break the Cycle Overthinking leads to inaction, fueling more overthinking. One of the most effective ways to disrupt this cycle is to take immediate action, no matter how small. Action breeds progress, and progress helps quiet the overthinking mind. Taking action also builds confidence. 4 This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time. Overthinking is a trap, but it’s one you can escape. By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back. 5 A．Practice mindfulness to ground yourself. B．Embrace relaxation through mindfulness. C．Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it. D．The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way. E．However, the good news is that overthinking is a natural tendency, and it is here to stay. F．Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you. G．However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken. 主题04 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江杭二·期中） Being studious (好学的) isn’t just about spending hours with your nose in a book — it’s about developing a mindset that makes learning exciting and rewarding. While studious people do prioritize their studies, they also understand the importance of balance and staying motivated. 1 By embracing this approach, you can stay committed to your studies without losing the joy of learning. Make small improvements. To stay motivated during your work to become studious, you shouldn’t think you’ve failed if you didn’t go from having a C-average to an A-average. 2 When it comes to being studious and feeling motivated to succeed, it’s better to make gradual progress rather than risk becoming disappointed and losing motivation. 3 Get a study buddy or study group. Though working with a partner or a group doesn’t work for everyone, you should consider mixing it up and working to be studious with others, sometimes. You can learn a lot from working with other people, and they can help keep you focused and on-track. 4 And, you can gain mastery of a subject after trying to teach it to your friends. Consider this study technique the next time you hit the books. 5 Though you may think studious people never have fun, it’s actually very important to remember to relax and take a break every once in a while. If you’re only focused on your studies, then you’ll feel burned out and like you’re under a lot of pressure to keep up. Instead, reward yourself for studying by making time for your friends, your hobbies, or even some mindless activities. Taking breaks for fun will actually lead you to enjoy the learning experience more when you return to it, and will help you become studious. A．Remember to have fun. B．Reward yourself for your hard work. C．Compare your progress to yourself, not others. D．You may also find that you learn more from a close friend than from a teacher. E．If you want to truly be studious, you have to stop comparing yourself to other people. F．Instead, you should be proud of yourself from moving from a C to a B-minus, and so on. G．Achieving this balance involves making steady progress, collaborating with others, and taking time to relax. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江温州十校·期中） Excessive screen time and overuse of handheld devices can lead to both our physical and mental health issues. By adopting healthy technology habits, we can improve our overall well-being. Here are some practical steps to help achieve that. Assess your digital habits 1 Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by excessive information or stressed by social media? Are you anxious when you forget your phone? If negative emotions are associated with your digital devices, it’s time to improve your digital well-being. 2 Gaining a detailed understanding of your technology usage is crucial for improving your digital well-being. Many smartphones now offer activity monitoring features, enabling you to analyze the time spent on each app and device. Becoming aware of your habits will help you make informed decisions about your digital engagement. Set the boundaries We are surrounded by digital devices. We live in a world of tech! However, we are failing to set healthy tech boundaries. 3 Once you hit the limit, the apps and sites pause and notifications are silenced. Enjoy gadget-free meal time Traditionally, meal times served as occasions for families and friends to relax and talk about their day. 4 To promote meaningful communication and connection, it’s important to have technology-free meals. Establish a bedtime routine To improve the quality of your sleep, consider disconnecting from your phone or other devices before bedtime. There are various apps available that can put your phone in nighttime mode, silencing notifications and turning your screen grayscale (灰度). 5 A．Monitor your digital activity. B．Be aware of your well-being. C．Reflect on how digital devices make you feel. D．You can set daily limits on the apps and websites you use. E．This reduces exposure to artificial blue light, which can make it harder to fall asleep. F．However, nowadays, electronic devices have taken over conversations, leading to silent gatherings. G．This will prevent your phone from disturbing you when you need to focus on something important. 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·浙江9+1高中联盟·期中） It is important to look after your body to help you to stay well and healthy for as long as you can. However, advice about caring for your body is conflicting and often confusing. 1 Many people abandon any effort to take care of themselves because it’s just too difficult. 2 Common sense tells us that even doing a bit more exercise or getting a bit more sleep, and not eating that second slice of cake, are likely to be helpful. The application of a little science, and quite a lot more common sense, can go a long way towards helping you to work out what’s best for you and your body. Why should you care about Your Body? Caring for your body makes sense. 3 Around the world, there is a growing problem of lifestyle-related diseases. These are diseases that are, effectively, caused by the way we live our lives. Most, if not all of them, are associated with not looking after our bodies. Many are associated with being overweight and not taking enough exercise, or by putting the wrong substances into our bodies. These diseases and conditions include heart conditions, high blood pressure, many forms of cancer etc. 4 . However, looking after your body will go some way to helping you to live a healthier life, for longer. There are three very important aspects to looking after your body：getting enough rest and sleep, eating well, and taking exercise. 5 But with practice, you will get better at making sure that you take care of your body. A．It can be really hard to know what works the best. B．You cannot, of course, avoid every illness or condition. C．But if you do that too often, there will be consequences. D．However, a closer examination suggests that the situation is not quite that simple. E．Knowing what to do, and actually doing it are, of course, quite different things. F．However, just because it is puzzling does not mean the effort is not worthwhile. G．After all, you only get one body in this life, and you want it to last as long as possible. 主题02 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江A9协作体·期中） Whether it’s studying for exams or struggling with an essay, we’ve all been under enormous stress at some point. When it gets a bit overwhelming, we can reach a level of exhaustion that is unbearable — the dreaded burnout. 1 According to ‘Psychology Today’, burnout isn’t just caused by working long hours; it is more about prolonged or repeated exposure to a stressful situation. The result can be feelings of cynicism (愤世嫉俗) and depression. A feeling of loss of control can create a conflict with the sense of self, which can lead to burnout. 2 Unexpectedly, this means that trying to be more efficient can result in a reduction in our productivity. But what can we do to avoid the evils of burnout? Well, there are some tips that may help you. 3 A feeling that the task is achievable and that you are capable of succeeding means that a difficult task might be less struggling. Finding ways to express your creative side may help. Not everyone has creative aspects to their jobs, and, therefore, they need to find other outlets. 4 All of this may help to separate them from the overwhelming stress that may exist in their working life. 5 The consequence is that you are surrounded by a cleaner and more positive environment. This, in turn, leads to another tip, which is to have healthy and positive thoughts. Having a positive mental attitude towards everything you do means that you may feel more capable as well. In general, burnout has psychological effects that can impact heavily on your work and life. Taking steps to avoid burning out can benefit not just us, but our bosses and families. A．Travelling or reading is strongly recommended. B．They could paint, write or take part in local theatre. C．Experiencing burnout is normal in high-stress tasks. D．Suffering from burnout can prevent our creativity and productivity. E．Looking after yourself and your surroundings can also be beneficial. F．However, that feeling of exhaustion is not just physical but also mental. G．The belief that you have the ability to complete a project may assist you. Passage 2 （23-24高二上·浙江金华一中·期中） As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. 1 But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson. ●Get eight hours of sleep. “When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. 2 ● 3 Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” ●Avoid polluted air. Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. 4 Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. ●Eat breakfast. A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. 5 If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. A．Be social and outgoing. B．Engage in voluntary work. C．There are physiological effects of this condition on the body. D．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health. E．Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. F．Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. G．Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people with other health risks. Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江台州十校·期中） Over years with technology and changes in lifestyle, the consumption of processed food has become very popular. To make cooking effortless, quick and delicious, processed food turns out to be an enormous business today. 1 Since early ages, people have been preserving food with varied techniques such as salt preservation, fermentation (发酵), drying, and so on. Food is either mechanically (机械地) or chemically processed to increase shelf life and ensure it is free from harmful micro creatures. 2 What's more, processed food is very popular nowadays because of the taste and flavors it offers to its consumers. Processed food uses artificial flavors, preservatives, added colors, and many chemicals. It offers a heavy calorie dose and less nutrition, making it an unhealthy option. Besides, some processed food contains too much sugar, salt, and fats, which are extremely harmful to health. 3 You need to be aware of what you are eating. The way it impacts your health is essential to a healthy well-being. Some lifestyle changes can help to get away from health risks and ensure a healthier lifestyle. Replacing highly processed food with more organic and natural food options is important. 4 5 More studies can help in bringing up awareness among people about its harm. Limiting the intake of processed food and replacing it with healthier options can help overcome health risks associated with it. A．It is very common to over eat processed food. B．Such a change can help you ensure a healthy lifestyle. C．Eating such kind of food often can cause health issues. D．Too much sugar intake increases the risk of getting overweight. E．Processed food has developed rapidly because of its convenience. F．However, an important question is about the nutritional value of it. G．Processed food is less nutritious than natural and freshly prepared food. 2．根据下文“What's more, processed food is very popular nowadays because of the taste and flavors it offers to its consumers.(更重要的是，加工食品现在非常受欢迎，因为它提供给消费者的口味和风味)”可知，此处进一步讲了加工食品受欢迎的原因，根据what's more(更重要的是)可知，空处应该是顺承该句内容，也是讲述加工产品受欢迎的原因，选项E“Processed food has developed rapidly because of its convenience.(加工食品因其方便而发展迅速)”符合，故选E。 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江宁波北仑中学·期中） Launch Your Spiritual Journey A spiritual journey is a personal adventure where you dive deep into understanding and connecting with your inner self. 1 To achieve a profound sense of your spiritual essence. Here’s a simple guide on how to start your spiritual journey. Set your intentions Like preparing for a marathon, the first step is to establish your goals. 2 Are you looking for inner peace or a deeper understanding of your life purpose? As you navigate your spiritual journey, you can reflect on these intentions, reminding yourself of why you started and what you’re striving for. Read and learn Consider books about spirituality and personal growth as your guidance. They are packed with valuable insights and practical advice. Keep in mind, it’s not about gathering much information. 3 So take moments to think about these ideas and see how they fit with your experiences. Find a mentor A mentor can serve a significant role in your spiritual exploration. And your mentor could be anyone — a spiritual teacher, a trusted friend, or even a family member, who has a profound understanding of the spiritual world. They’ve journeyed through the ups and downs, faced challenges, and emerged enlightened. 4 It can brighten your path and make the journey feel less overwhelming. Maintain a spiritual diary This diary is a tangible reflection of your inner explorations, and plays a vital role in your spiritual progression. Writing regularly can foster mindfulness and enhance self-awareness. 5 Finally, this diary can allow you to revisit those past entries, recognize your growth, and draw inspiration for the future. Now that you’ve uncovered the steps to launch a spiritual journey, why not get a taste of this transformative experience? A．But the truth? B．And the ultimate goal? C．Their wisdom, therefore, can be a lighthouse for you. D．It’s a voyage into the deepest corners of your memories. E．This means identifying what you hope to achieve or discover. F．It’s about finding the wisdom that truly speaks to your journey. G．It can also help you express and strengthen your understandings. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江强基联盟·期中） Many people suffer from low self-confidence, which may negatively impact mental health. Then, the following tips can help you increase your confidence and become a better person. Know your dream 1 . The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be. Write down your goals and how to achieve them When setting goals, it’s not enough to simply write down what you want to achieve. 2 . For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. Keep control of your goals by focusing on your actions and taking responsibility for your journey. Learn from successful people There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs. 3 . 4 Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition. Try new things often Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new. 5 . Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill. Learn a craft, a sport, or go to a dance class. And the great thing is that as you become better and more skilled, your confidence will grow. A．Your life needs a purpose. B．Manage your state of mind. C．Make sure what you want to do. D．Don’t just limit this to going somewhere different. E．You must also include a means of achieving that goal. F．Remember that luck doesn’t play a part in you achieving your goals. G．And you will benefit from those books than those based just on theory. Passage 3 （23-24高二上·浙江杭二·期中） If you’re a perfectionist, that might mean you can be pretty hard on yourself. A mistake at work, for example, could result in some pretty negative self-talk or actions, like depriving yourself of a snack later that day. 1 But self-punishment doesn’t encourage growth, says Katherine, a psychotherapist and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control.” 2 “When you punish someone, that person doesn’t learn how to change; they learn how to avoid the source of the punishment.” 3 This might look like overworking, overspending, or numbing yourself with excessive consumption of social media or TV shows. None of this actually helps you grow, though. Instead of punishing yourself for making a mistake, it is more effective to practice self-compassion(自我同情). Katherine suggests the broaden-and-build theory, a positive psychology theory that was developed by social psychologist Barbara in 1998. Broaden-and-build theory suggests that when you’re in a positive headspace you feel more able to face different challenges and make choices based on the possibility of positive outcomes. When you’re in a negative headspace your view narrows and you aren’t inspired or encouraged to think differently. 4 Research demonstrates self compassion’s positive association with a greater sense of self-worth, more realistic self-evaluations of strengths and weaknesses, lower levels of depression and anxiety. 5 Choosing self-compassion instead of self-punishment means you are more likely to learn from your mistakes and grow as a person. A．In other words, you’re punishing yourself. B．“Punishment doesn’t work.” she writes in her book. C．To put yourself in a positive headspace, you need to practice self-compassion. D．If you are the source of your own punishment then you learn to avoid yourself. E．Punishment can be mistaken for a handful of things like discipline, personal responsibility. F．It is also related with increased motivation to learn from past mistakes, and the list goes on. G．Instead of being scared to act natural consequence might encourage you to act in a way leading to a positive result. Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江宁波余姚中学·期中） Holidays abroad are easier than ever thanks to smartphones. With the autumn weather fast approaching, it’s the perfect time of year to jet off and get away from hustles and bustles. 1 Here are some top tips to make sure you’re not caught out on your break abroad. Treat yourself to a power bank The batteries inside our phones are typically designed to last for around a day of moderate usage. 2 So you’re going to want some extra support so you don’t end up going AWOL (absent without leave) when your phone dies. That’s why I recommend picking up a USB power bank, which will give you a little bit of extra juice to keep you connected to the rest of the world. Enable Data roaming (漫游) 3 The good news is that it is easier than ever to stay connected to the net when abroad. Make sure you check with your network provider what your roaming plan is. In many countries it is straightforward to buy a SIM card for a local network, with a much more generous data allowance. 4 If you’ve got a newer phone, it will probably support “eSIM” — where you can simply use an app like Holafly or Airalo while connected to wifi to set yourself up on a new network temporarily. Download offline application software And finally, you need to get your apps in order. Once you reach your destination you’ll need a mapping app, and maybe even a translation app — Apple and Google make their own version of both. And modern translation apps are particularly exciting. 5 Then you get a clear translation. Make sure that all of the critical data is downloaded so that apps work offline and you can travel the world like a local. Bon voyage! A．What good is a phone without Internet access? B．You simply wave your phone at the scanner instead. C．In fact, you may not even need a physical card anymore. D．Why do you need to get your phone ready to be connected? E．But when you’re away from home, you’re probably using it so much more. F．You can typically just wave the camera of your phone over pretty much anything. G．But before leaving for the airport, ensure your phone is ready for the journey ahead! 试卷第14页，共33页 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解 七选五 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江金砖联盟·期末） The pros and cons of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters(漂泊者) The issue of what to do with young night drifters has been much discussed. Many people think that the government ought to open more drop-in centers. 1 Following are the advantages and disadvantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters. One advantage of opening more drop-in centers is that it would keep young night drifters safe. 2 For example, they may fall victim to gangs and drug dealers. Some young night drifters are also bullied. This is probably due to the fact that they are young and vulnerable. Another argument that is commonly heard is that having more drop-in centers would decrease night drifting. Drop-in centers provide an easy way to offer young night drifters professional advice. Counsellors can give young drifters advice about how to solve problems with their families. 3 In addition to these advantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters, however, there are also a number of disadvantages. 4 According to these people, if there are more safe places for night drifters to hang out in, there is no motive for these young people to give up their nocturnal(夜间的) habits. Moreover, the attraction of having a special place to go to may encourage others to become night drifters as well. It is also argued that resources should be focused on providing services for all young people rather than just a small proportion of them. In other words, it may not be fair to support only night drifters. 5 However, personally, I believe that ensuring the safety of young people and giving night drifters counselling are both necessary. I therefore believe that more drop-in centers should be provided for young night drifters in the city. A．They can also help them to handle negative peer pressure. B．People believe that disadvantages outweigh advantages. C．It is clear that the issue is not black and white. D．However, it is an issue that still divides many people. E．Hence, more drop-in centers are of vital significance to them. F．Young people who walk the streets at night often fall into bad ways. G．Some people argue it actually fails to discourage night drifting. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．G 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕为年轻夜漂者开设更多收容中心这一话题展开讨论，分别阐述了开设更多收容中心的优点，如能保障年轻夜漂者的安全、减少夜漂行为以及为他们提供专业建议等，同时也指出了可能存在的缺点，如有人认为这实际上可能无法阻止夜漂行为且可能会鼓励更多人成为夜漂者，还有人认为资源应集中用于为所有年轻人提供服务而不是仅一小部分人。最后作者表明虽然这个问题存在争议，但自己认为确保年轻人的安全和为夜漂者提供咨询是有必要的，应该为年轻夜漂者提供更多的收容中心。 1．根据上文“The issue of what to do with young night drifters has been much discussed. Many people think that the government ought to open more drop-in centers. (如何处理年轻的漂泊者的问题已经被讨论了很多。许多人认为政府应该开设更多的临时收容中心。)”及下文“Following are the advantages and disadvantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters. (以下是为年轻的漂泊者开设更多临时中心的优点和缺点。)”可知，如何处理漂泊者成为了一个有争议的问题，与D项“However, it is an issue that still divides many people. (然而，这是一个仍然让许多人产生分歧的问题。)”上下文一致，符合文意，承上启下，故选D项。 2．根据下文“For example, they may fall victim to gangs and drug dealers. Some young night drifters are also bullied. This is probably due to the fact that they are young and vulnerable. (例如，他们可能会成为帮派和毒贩的受害者。一些年轻的漂泊者也被欺负。这可能是因为他们年轻且脆弱。)”可知，年轻的漂泊者可能会遭遇的危险，与F项“Young people who walk the streets at night often fall into bad ways. (晚上在街上闲逛的年轻人常常误入歧途。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选F项。 3．根据上文“Counsellors can give young drifters advice about how to solve problems with their families. (咨询师可以向年轻的漂泊者提供有关如何解决家庭问题的建议。)”可知，咨询师可以给年轻漂泊者提供家庭问题的建议，与A项“They can also help them to handle negative peer pressure. (他们还可以帮助他们处理负面的同伴压力。)”上下文一致，符合文意，进一步说明收容中心的作用，故选A项。 4．根据下文“According to these people, if there are more safe places for night drifters to hang out in, there is no motive for these young people to give up their nocturnal(夜间的) habits. (根据这些人的说法，如果有更多安全的地方供夜间漂泊者闲逛，这些年轻人就没有动力放弃他们的夜间习惯。)”可知，如果有更多安全的地方让夜漂者闲逛，他们就没有动力放弃夜间习惯，说明有人认为开设更多收容中心实际上并不能阻止夜漂，与G项“Some people argue it actually fails to discourage night drifting. (有些人认为它实际上无法阻止夜间漂流。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选G项。 5．根据上文第二段中“One advantage of opening more drop-in centers is that it would keep young night drifters safe. (开设更多临时中心的一个好处是，它可以保证年轻的漂泊者的安全。)”，第三段中“Another argument that is commonly heard is that having more drop-in centers would decrease night drifting. (另一个经常听到的论点是，拥有更多的临时中心会减少夜间漂泊。)”，第四段中“In addition to these advantages of opening more drop-in centers for young night drifters, however, there are also a number of disadvantages. (然而，除了为年轻的漂泊者开设更多临时中心的好处之外，也有许多缺点。)”可知，开设更多的收容中心有优点也有缺点，这个问题并不是非黑即白的，与C项“It is clear that the issue is not black and white. (很明显，这个问题不是非黑即白的。)”上下文一致，承上启下，引出作者对该问的看法，故选C项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·浙江北仑中学·期中） My grandparents were always busy with food. My grandmother could pull out the feathers of a chicken in less than half an hour. They picked vegetables from their garden. Animal fat was saved. 1 Nearly a decade after my grandmother died, I found myself in a kitchen, pulling out the feathers of a chicken. It took hours and made my fingers hurt. After an adult life spent buying rather than growing food, as a so-called new farmer, I finally began to understand my grandparents. 2 My grandparents’ generation spent a third of their income on food. 3 Food is no longer seen as public goods, but as public given resources. The ecological cost of this progress is now clear. The health costs are starting to be noticed. But until I began talking to the farmers around me, I had not understood the human costs faced by those asked to produce milk sold for less than bottled water. 4 Called “ regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generation of farmers trying to find a new kind of power in the face of loss of climate change and rising fuel and transport costs. 5 Those plants and animals worked together to help the soil become rich again. They kept living roots in the ground all year round, building up the soil’s biology and taking in carbon. Research has found that regenerative farming not only benefits the land, but profits can be 78% higher than conventional farms. A．We spend less than a tenth. B．And any leftover meat was cut up for pies. C．Regenerative farming is welcomed by thousands of farmers now. D．I began to understand the work that we took for granted. E．I realized that keeping a big family was really a big burden for them. F．New technology helped these farmers raise a diversity of crops and farm animals. G．Then I came across a farming reform that sought to change this traditional system. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．G 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章介绍了作者通过亲身经历和与农民交谈，逐渐理解了祖父母那一代人对食物的看法和价值观，以及可持续农业的重要性。同时，文章还介绍了再生农业的概念和实践。 1．上文“My grandparents were always busy with food. My grandmother could pull out the feathers of a chicken in less than half an hour. They picked vegetables from their garden. Animal fat was saved. (我的祖父母总是忙着做吃的。我奶奶可以在不到半小时的时间里拔完鸡的羽毛。他们从菜园里采摘蔬菜。动物的脂肪被保存下来。)”例举了祖父母忙于食物的各种习惯，B项“And any leftover meat was cut up for pies.(剩下的肉被切碎用来做馅饼。)”也是他们的一种习惯，与上文构成并列关系。特别与“Animal fat was saved.”一句联系紧密，表明了他们节约的生活态度。故选B项。 2．上文“I finally began to understand my grandparents.(我终于开始理解我的祖父母了。)”讲我理解了祖父母，D项“I began to understand the work that we took for granted.(我开始理解我们认为理所当然的工作。)”承接上文，具体说明理解了什么。同时“I began to understand...”是句式的复现。故选D项。 3．上文“My grandparents’ generation spent a third of their income on food. (我祖父母那一代把收入的三分之一花在食物上。)”说明祖父母花在食物上的费用，A项“We spend less than a tenth.(我们只花了不到十分之一。)”说明我们自己在食物上的支出，形成对比关系，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 4．上文“But until I began talking to the farmers around me, I had not understood the human costs faced by those asked to produce milk sold for less than bottled water.(但直到我开始与周围的农民交谈，我才明白那些被要求生产比瓶装水还便宜的牛奶的人所面临的人力成本。)”提出问题：农民面临的人力成本问题，下文“Called “regenerative farming”, it was being driven by a new generation of farmers trying to find a new kind of power in the face of loss of climate change and rising fuel and transport costs.(它被称为“再生农业”，是由新一代农民推动的，面对气候变化的损失和不断上涨的燃料和运输成本，他们试图找到一种新的能源。)”给出被称为“regenerative farming(再生农业)”的办法，G项“Then I came across a farming reform that sought to change this traditional system.(然后，我发现了一个试图改变这种传统制度的农业改革。)”承上启下，引出下文中的“regenerative farming(再生农业)”，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 5．下文“Those plants and animals worked together to help the soil become rich again. They kept living roots in the ground all year round, building up the soil’s biology and taking in carbon.(这些植物和动物共同帮助土壤再次变得肥沃。它们常年把活着的根埋在地下，增强土壤的生物功能，吸收碳。)”解释了新的植物和动物共同改善土壤的技术，是对F项“New technology helped these farmers raise a diversity of crops and farm animals.(新技术帮助这些农民种植了多种作物和饲养了多种家畜。)”的进一步说明，解释了“a diversity of crops and farm animals”的作用，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江9+1联盟·期中） Everybody lies to some degree. 1 However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers(弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for. 2 There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. 3 Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body. Ask questions——quickly. If you suspect you’re being lied, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly—one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development. “ 4 When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.” Check for emotional “leaks”. Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. 5 And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie. So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it. A．Listen to the voices. B．Get better at body language. C．The follow-up lie is more difficult. D．Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still. E．Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart. F．In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact. G．Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives. 【答案】1．G 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何识别说谎者的一些建议。 1．上文“Everybody lies to some degree.(每个人都在某种程度上说谎)”说明每个人某种程度上都说谎，谎言会发生在每个人身上，选项G“谎言发生在朋友之间、师生之间、夫妻之间。”承接上文，人人都会说谎，谎言发生在各种人与人之间的关系中。故选G项。 2．下文“There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___3___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.(有很多迹象表明某人可能在撒谎。例如，一个人可能会有过少或过多的眼神交流，出汗或脸红，难以控制自己的音量和语调。通常伴随谈话的手势出现的频率可能会降低。胳膊和腿的活动也会减少。说谎者似乎会更专注于说谎，所以他们的身体会变得更安静。)”说明本段讲述了撒谎时的肢体语言，选项B“更好地运用肢体语言”总结了本段要义，故选B项。 3．上文“There are many signs someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush in their face, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice.(有很多迹象表明某人可能在撒谎。例如，一个人可能会有过少或过多的眼神交流，出汗或脸红，难以控制自己的音量和语调。)”说明一个人撒谎时，会有很多迹象，会过少或过多的眼神交流，出汗或脸红，难以控制自己的音量和语调，选项D“有趣的是，说谎的人通常会变得更安静。”承接上文，说谎的人还会表现得更安静，故选D项。 4．上文“Try asking questions quickly—one after the other. “The first lie is easy,” explains Kang Lee, professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education’s Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development.(试着一个接一个地快速提问。“第一个谎言很容易，”安大略教育研究所应用心理与人类发展系的教授Kang Lee解释说。)”说明第一个谎言很容易，问题也很容易回答，接下来的谎言就会很难，选项C“接下来的谎言更难。”承接上文，第一个谎言很容易，接下来的谎言很难。故选C项。 5．上文“If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot.(如果你仔细观察录像带上的人，你会看到他们在表现出掩盖谎言的虚假表情之前表现出真实的情绪。但这些极其短暂的面部运动，有些只持续四分之一秒，不容易被发现。)”说明说谎者在表现出掩盖谎言的虚假表情之前表现出真实的情绪，但这些真实的情绪不容易被发现，甚至有些专业人员都发现不了，选项E“即使是受过测谎训练的专业人士也不能总是把它们区分开来。”承接上文，说谎者表现出的虚假表情和真实情绪，即使是受过测谎训练的专业人士也不能区分开。故选E项。 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·浙江鄞州高中·期中） The UK, Finland, Germany, and Sweden are consistently the top performers in European tech ecosystems.

Sometimes, it forgets key details, leading you to make mistakes. 1 Your mind likes to take shortcuts. Your brain can get lazy. When trying to solve a problem or making a decision, your mind often falls back on solutions that have worked in the past. Using shortcuts can be a useful approach when it allows you to make decisions quickly. 2 For example, plane crashes make you terrified of flying because your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing that flying is more dangerous. In reality, traveling by air is much safer than traveling by car. Your thinking is cheated by hidden biases. Sometimes you judge a person unfairly. For example, if a cafe worker gets your order wrong, you might decide that they are incompetent. Maybe they were just overwhelmed by orders. This is called attributional bias (归因偏见). 3 When it happens, you seek out information that confirms what you already believe, but ignore anything that opposes your beliefs. These cognitive biases can prevent you from thinking clearly and making wise decisions. They can even affect how you interact with the world. 4 Your brain is hard to take in every detail. It can be surprisingly easy to miss major changes. This is called change blindness. Change blindness might not seem like a huge problem, but research has shown that it can have major consequences. For example, people who control air traffic can make serious errors as a result of change blindness. Drivers are also vulnerable to change blindness, which can lead to accidents. Your brain likes to play the blame game. 5 In the process, we misunderstand reality to protect our self-esteem. For example: When you got badly sunburned, rather than acknowledging that you didn’t reapply sunscreen as often as you should have, you decide that the sunscreen itself must have been ineffective. Our brain do so to protect our self-esteem and guard us against the fear of failure. A．Your brain can be blind to change. B．Why do we engage in the blame game? C．Another bias that your brain falls prey to is confirmation bias. D．However, you can avoid some mistakes by learning more about it. E．When something bad happens, your brain tries to come up with a reason for it. F．But these mental shortcuts can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. G．With so much happening in the world, it can be hard for the brain to take in every detail. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．C 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是大脑如何欺骗我们的几种情况，通过更多地对这些情况的了解来避免一些错误。 1．根据上文的“Your brain is capable of remarkable things. But your mind is far from perfect. Sometimes, it forgets key details, leading you to make mistakes. (你的大脑有非凡的能力。但你的思维还远远不够完美。有时，它会忘记关键的细节，导致你犯错误)”可知，大脑是不完美的，有时会忘记关键细节导致你犯错，结合下文每段的主题句“Your mind likes to take shortcuts (你的大脑喜欢走捷径)”以及“Your thinking is cheated by hidden biases (你的想法被隐藏的偏见欺骗了)”和“Your brain likes to play the blame game (你的大脑喜欢推卸责任)”可知，下文中列举了几点大脑存在的一些问题，由此可知推断，此空应是承上启下的作用，D选项“However, you can avoid some mistakes by learning more about it. (然而，你可以通过更多地了解它来避免一些错误)”中的however为解题关键信息，承接上文中的“大脑是不完美的”与且为转折关系，并且引出下文讲述的大脑存在的不完美的问题，符合语境。故选D项。 2．根据上文的“Using shortcuts can be a useful approach when it allows you to make decisions quickly. (当你能快速做出决定时，使用捷径是一种有用的方法)”可知，在快速做决定时，走捷径是有用的方法，结合下文中的“For example, plane crashes make you terrified of flying because your brain is using a mental shortcut to fool you into believing that flying is more dangerous. (例如，飞机失事让你害怕坐飞机，因为你的大脑在使用一条心理捷径来欺骗你，让你相信坐飞机更危险)”可知，此处列举了走捷径可能导致的问题，由此可推断，此空与空前内容为转折关系，所以需要一个过渡句，从讲述走捷径的好处转述到走捷径产生的问题上来，F选项“But these mental shortcuts can also trip you up and cause you to make mistakes. (但这些心理捷径也会让你陷入困境，导致你犯错误)”讲述的内容与空前内容为转折关系，且与空后列举的例子内容一致，且与本段的主题句“Your mind likes to take shortcuts (你的大脑喜欢走捷径)”内容吻合。故选F项。 3．根据空前的“For example, if a cafe worker gets your order wrong, you might decide that they are incompetent. Maybe they were just overwhelmed by orders. This is called attributional bias (归因偏见). (例如，如果一个服务员把你点的菜弄错了，你可能会认为他们不称职。也许他们只是被命令压得喘不过气来。这被称为归因偏见)”可知，此处通过举例说明其中的一种偏见类型，结合空后的“When it happens, you seek out information that confirms what you already believe, but ignore anything that opposes your beliefs. (当这种情况发生时，你会寻找证实你已经相信的信息，而忽略任何与你的信念相反的信息)”可知，此处讲述的内容与空前内容不一致，由此可推断，此空讲述的应是另外一种偏见的类型，C选项“Another bias that your brain falls prey to is confirmation bias.(大脑容易受到的另一种偏见是确认偏见)”讲述的是确认偏见，与空后陈述的内容一致，且与本段的小标题“Your thinking is cheated by hidden biases (你的想法被隐藏的偏见欺骗了)”讲述的内容吻合。故选C项。 4．分析语篇可知，此空作本段小标题，应对本段内容进行概括总结，结合下文“Your brain is hard to take  in every detail. It can be surprisingly easy to miss major changes. This  is called change blindness. Change blindness might not seem like a huge  problem, but research has shown that it can have major consequences.(你的大脑很难记住每一个细节。很容易就会错过重大的变化。这被称为变化盲视。变化盲视似乎不是一个大问题，但研究表明，它可能会产生严重后果)”可知，此处讲述的是变化盲视，A选项“Your brain can be blind to change.(你的大脑可能对变化视而不见)”概括了本段讲述的内容，适合作本段小标题。故选A项。 5．根据本段的小标题“Your brain likes to play the blame game.(你的大脑喜欢推卸责任)”可知，本段讲述的是大脑喜欢推卸责任，E选项“When something bad happens, your brain tries to come up with a reason for it. (当不好的事情发生时，你的大脑会试图想出一个原因)”讲述的内容是对本段主旨的进一步阐述，且与空后的“In the process, we misunderstand reality to protect our self-esteem. (在这个过程中，我们为了保护自己的自尊而误解了现实)”讲述的内容吻合，其中的“In the process”指的是该选项中讲述的内容，符合语境。故选E项。 Passage 3 （23-24高二上·浙江杭州学军·期中） Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to decode dogs’ behaviour. 1. If your dog looks remorseful (羞愧的) when you walk in the door and see a mess… They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that ”guilty” look to the test in 2009. 1 Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty. 1. If your dog licks their mouth… They’re stressed Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. 2 The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. 3 1. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down… They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed triggers range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. 4 Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun. 1. If your dog leans into you during a petting session… They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then gauge their reaction. This is called a consent test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. 5 Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin. A．You could also discuss medication with your vet. B．It could be as simple as giving them more physical space. C．However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more cuddles, continue! D．If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. E．Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting. F．One found that it was a canine response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen G．In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．B 4．D 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就狗的一些常见肢体语言进行解释说明。 1．由上文“They’re expecting punishment but don’t necessarily know that what they’ve done is wrong. Alexandra Horowitz, a professor at Barnard College in New York City whose research focuses on canine (犬科) cognition, put that “guilty” look to the test in 2009. (它们期待惩罚，但不一定知道它们做错了。纽约市巴纳德学院教授亚历山德拉·霍洛维茨的研究重点是犬类的认知，她在2009年对这种“内疚”的表情进行了测试。)”和后文“Subsequent research out of the University of Cambridge found no evidence that dogs can even feel guilty. (剑桥大学随后的研究发现，没有证据表明狗甚至会感到内疚。)”可知，本空要说跟“狗感到内疚的原因”有关的话题，故G选项“In the end, it wasn’t linked to whether the dog had transgressed but rather to being scolded by the owner. (最终，这与狗是否违法无关，而是与被主人斥责有关。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 2．由上文“They’re stressed Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. (最近，两项欧洲研究强调了这种舔的意义。)”和后文“The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. (另一项研究确定，狗在受到轻微威胁时，会舔自己的嘴，同时也会把目光移开。)”可知，本句要表述两项研究中的一个，故F选项“One found that it was a canine response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen (其中一项研究发现，这是狗在电脑屏幕上看到愤怒或好斗的人脸时的反应)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 3．由上文“If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. (如果你发现了这个迹象，试着减少你的狗的压力水平。)”可知，本空要说跟“减少压力水平具体措施”有关的话题，故B选项“It could be as simple as giving them more physical space. (这可以简单到给他们更多的物理空间。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 4．由上文“They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed triggers range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. (它们焦虑。狗狗不开心的明显迹象包括躲起来或试图离开检查室，但通常错过的触发因素包括夹起尾巴、垂下耳朵、颤抖。)”可知，本空要说跟“它们焦虑”有关的话题，由后文“Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun. (许多兽医现在用食物来增加体验的乐趣。)”可知，本句要表达“具体怎样帮它们减轻焦虑”有关的话题，故D选项“If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. (如果你的狗在约会时压力很大，问问能做些什么。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 5．由上文“They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then gauge their reaction. This is called a consent test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. (它们喜欢！如果你不确定狗狗是否喜欢被抚摸，停下来，然后观察它们的反应。这被称为同意测试。如果他们选择离开，游戏就结束了。)”可知，本空要说跟“它们不喜欢的表现”有关的话题，故E选项“Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting. (其他不适迹象包括嗅地板、移开视线和气喘吁吁。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 主题03 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·浙江A9协作体·期中） Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. 1 Here are a few things you can do to be a good friend to others. Make time for each other 2 The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond. Open up and allow each other to be vulnerable A good friend is someone genuine, someone with whom you can be yourself and they can be themselves around you. A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart. 3 If your friend hurt you, don’t be afraid to talk about it. 4 It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say. Apologize when you’ve made a mistake. If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying. Though your friends won’t be happy that you made a mistake, they’ll be very pleased that you’re mature enough to admit it instead of just pretending that nothing is wrong, or worse — blaming it on someone else. 5 Let your friends hear the sincerity in your voice. A．Be dependable. B．Be a good listener. C．When you do so, you should mean it. D．A good friend is willing to stick their neck out on behalf of their friends. E．It will contribute to direct lines of communication between both of you. F．Friendships grow through shared experiences and quality time together. G．Because good friendships provide a sense of belonging and security, knowing you are loved. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．E 4．A 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些成为别人好朋友的建议和方法。 1．根据上文“Being a good friend isn’t always easy. Nevertheless, taking the time to develop a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort.(做一个好朋友并不总是那么容易。然而，花时间发展一段持久的友谊是值得付出一切努力的)”可知，本句应该说明值得花时间发展持久友谊的原因，故G选项“因为好的友谊会给你一种归属感和安全感，知道你被爱着”符合语境，故选G。 2．根据后文“The mark of a good friend is someone who makes time for you and makes spending time with you a priority. A good friend will also look for opportunities to maximize the time you have together by seeking fun and unique experiences that strengthen and maintain your bond.(好朋友的标志是他会为你腾出时间，并把和你在一起的时间放在首位。好朋友也会寻找机会，通过寻找有趣和独特的经历来最大限度地延长你们在一起的时间，从而加强和维持你们的关系)”可知，后文主要说明了好朋友会为彼此腾出时间，通过经历来维持关系，即通过共同经历来发展友谊。故F选项“友谊在共同经历和共度美好时光中成长”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据上文“A good friend allows you to be vulnerable with them and vice versa, meaning you can expose your emotions and circumstances with each other and trust one another to listen, be supportive, and have each other’s best interests at heart.(一个好朋友允许你在他们面前脆弱，反之亦然，这意味着你可以在彼此面前暴露你的情绪和情况，信任彼此，互相倾听，支持彼此，并把彼此的最大利益放在心上)”可知，上文提到了有好朋友的各种好处，故本句承接上文说明这么做的好处：有助于你们双方之间的直接沟通。故E选项“这将有助于你们双方之间的直接沟通”符合语境，故选E。 4．根据本段内容“It is one of the most important aspects of being a good friend. Your friend will need you for support, especially in hard times. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who actually isn’t interested in them. It’s hard to rely on a person who doesn’t behave in a trustworthy way. We all know well-intentioned people who say, “Okay, I will...” but never follow through. If that’s you, be aware that you’re destroying your friends’ trust. Eventually, they’ll stop believing what you say.(这是成为好朋友最重要的方面之一。你的朋友需要你的支持，尤其是在困难时期。没有人想和对自己不感兴趣的人做朋友。很难依赖一个行为不值得信赖的人。我们都认识一些善意的人，他们会说：“好吧，我会……”但从不坚持到底。如果你是这样的人，你要意识到你正在破坏你朋友的信任。最终，他们会不再相信你说的话)”可知，本段的主旨是要成为一个值得信赖的人，即可靠的人。故A选项“成为可靠的人”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据上文“If you want your friends to trust you, then you can’t act like you’re perfect. If you know you’ve made a mistake, own up to it instead of denying.

With adults spending so much time on it, little wonder that kids too spend more time in front of the television than outdoors. With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a “babysitter”. 1 However, most parents would rethink their strategy if they are aware of the side effects of over exposure to the television. Children watch on an average around 28 hours of television per week. 2 By the age of eight, aggression becomes so rooted in a child that it predicts adult aggression. Besides, it has been found that children who spend a lot of time in front of the television do poorly in school.   3 Consequently their social development will be affected. 4 So it’s almost impossible to completely ban it from our children’s life. However, as parents we could: • Get children interested in sports. • Encourage children to cultivate the reading habit. • Set a good example by limiting our own television viewing. • Help children develop other hobbies such as building models and drawing. • Choose the programs our children will watch, and stick to the schedule. Television eats up the time our children are not studying or sleeping. All those things we want them to be: a wild teenager, a scholar, a lover——when are they going to do all that? 5 Help them get a life——a real one! A．So stop letting our children live in a make-believe world. B．Television has been such an essential part of our daily lives. C．This includes violence and viewing not suitable for their age. D．Therefore, both parents and children should be aware of this fact. E．And their children are left in front of the TV to avoid making trouble. F．Moreover, it is harmful to children’s health, particularly their eyesight. G．TV watching also reduces the time children spend communicating with others. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．G 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述孩子们花太多的时间接触电视的情况和建议。 1．根据上文“With families becoming more and more nuclear, most mothers start off by using the television as a “babysitter”. (随着家庭变得越来越小，大多数母亲一开始都把电视当作“保姆”。)”可知，这里提到母亲把电视当作“保姆”，避免孩子惹麻烦。选项E“他们的孩子被留在电视机前，以免惹麻烦。”和上文意思一致。故选E。 2．根据下文“By the age of eight, aggression becomes so rooted in a child that it predicts adult aggression. (到八岁时，攻击性在孩子身上根深蒂固，它预示着成年人的攻击性。)”可知，这里提到电视机的节目会造成孩子的暴力倾向。选项C“这包括暴力和不适合他们年龄的观看。”和下文意思一致。故选C。 3．根据下文“Consequently their social development will be affected. (因此，他们的社会发展将受到影响。)”可知，这里提到看电视太多对社会发展方面也会受到影响。选项G“看电视也减少了孩子与他人交流的时间。”和下文意思一致。故选G。 4．根据下文“So it’s almost impossible to completely ban it from our children’s life. (因此，几乎不可能完全禁止它进入我们孩子的生活。)”可知，这里应该是说明电视机在日常生活中很重要，所以几乎不可能完全禁止它进入我们孩子的生活。选项B“电视一直是我们日常生活的重要组成部分。”和下文意思一致。故选B。 5．根据下文“Help them get a life——a real one! (帮助他们过上真正的生活！)”可知，孩子们在电视机上获得的只能是虚拟的世界。选项A“所以，别再让我们的孩子生活在一个虚构的世界里了。”和下文意思一致。故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·浙江衢州五校·期中） You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. While having a roommate inevitably has its challenges, it can also be a great part of your college experience. 1 Respect your roommate’s stuff This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict.

(然而，你刚刚越过了界限)”与上文相呼应，强调了未经允许使用他人物品是越界行为，符合题意，故选A。 3．下文“Don’t go into your roommate relationship thinking that you are going to be best friends for the time you’re at school.

Limit the Time You Spend on Decisions One of the main causes of overthinking is the fear of making the wrong decision, which often leads to hours, days, or even weeks of indecision. To counter this, give yourself a time limit to make decisions. By imposing a time limit, you force your brain to focus on what truly matters. 2 Overthinking, driven by worries about the past or future, pulls you from the present and increases stress. Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now. When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths. 3 These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking. Take Action to Break the Cycle Overthinking leads to inaction, fueling more overthinking. One of the most effective ways to disrupt this cycle is to take immediate action, no matter how small. Action breeds progress, and progress helps quiet the overthinking mind. Taking action also builds confidence. 4 This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time. Overthinking is a trap, but it’s one you can escape. By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back. 5 A．Practice mindfulness to ground yourself. B．Embrace relaxation through mindfulness. C．Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it. D．The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way. E．However, the good news is that overthinking is a natural tendency, and it is here to stay. F．Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you. G．However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken. 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．F 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，指出过度思考会让人陷入担忧和怀疑的循环，导致难以做出决策，随后介绍了三种帮助人们摆脱过度思考、开启理想生活的策略。 1．根据上文“Overthinking can trap you in a cycle of worry and doubt, making decisions feel impossible.(过度思考会让你陷入担忧和怀疑的循环，让你觉得做决策是不可能的事)”以及下文“Below are three strategies to help you break free and start living the life you deserve.(以下是三种帮助你摆脱困境并开始过上你应得的生活的策略)”可知，前文讲了过度思考的弊端，后文讲了可摆脱它的策略，所以此处应是一个转折，表明过度思考虽有弊端但可以被改变，与G项“However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken.(然而，好消息是过度思考是一种习惯，和任何习惯一样，它是可以被打破的)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。 2．根据下文“Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now.(正念是解决过度思考的有力方法，因为它能让你专注于当下)” 可知，此段主要讲的是通过正念来解决过度思考的问题，与A项“Practice mindfulness to ground yourself.(练习正念来让自己专注当下)” 表达的意思相符，是此段的主题句，故选A项。 3．根据上文“When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths.(当陷入过度思考的循环时，停下来做几次深呼吸)”以及下文“These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking.(这些简单的做法能让你回到当下，有助于打断过度思考的循环)”可知，此处应是具体描述在做深呼吸时还可以关注的一些让自己回到当下的事情，与F项“Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you.(专注于你的呼吸、双脚踩在地上的感觉或周围的声音)” 表达的内容一致，故选F项。 4．根据上文 “Taking action also builds confidence.(采取行动也能建立自信)” 以及下文 “This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time.(当你学会相信自己实时适应和应对的能力时，这种认识可以显著减少过度思考的必要性)” 可知，这里是在说采取行动带来的好处，即行动越多就越能意识到自己可以应对各种情况，与D项“The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way.(你行动得越多，你就越意识到你可以应对任何出现在你面前的事情)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 5．根据上文“By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back.(通过限制做决策的时间、练习正念和采取行动，你可以从阻碍你的内心杂念中解脱出来)”可知，这里是在强调摆脱过度思考后能更好地享受生活，不要错过当下，与C项 “Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it.(生活正在当下发生 —— 不要让过度思考让你错过它)”表达的意思相符，故选C项。 主题04 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·浙江杭二·期中） Being studious (好学的) isn’t just about spending hours with your nose in a book — it’s about developing a mindset that makes learning exciting and rewarding. While studious people do prioritize their studies, they also understand the importance of balance and staying motivated. 1 By embracing this approach, you can stay committed to your studies without losing the joy of learning. Make small improvements. To stay motivated during your work to become studious, you shouldn’t think you’ve failed if you didn’t go from having a C-average to an A-average. 2 When it comes to being studious and feeling motivated to succeed, it’s better to make gradual progress rather than risk becoming disappointed and losing motivation. 3 Get a study buddy or study group. Though working with a partner or a group doesn’t work for everyone, you should consider mixing it up and working to be studious with others, sometimes. You can learn a lot from working with other people, and they can help keep you focused and on-track. 4 And, you can gain mastery of a subject after trying to teach it to your friends. Consider this study technique the next time you hit the books. 5 Though you may think studious people never have fun, it’s actually very important to remember to relax and take a break every once in a while. If you’re only focused on your studies, then you’ll feel burned out and like you’re under a lot of pressure to keep up. Instead, reward yourself for studying by making time for your friends, your hobbies, or even some mindless activities. Taking breaks for fun will actually lead you to enjoy the learning experience more when you return to it, and will help you become studious. A．Remember to have fun. B．Reward yourself for your hard work. C．Compare your progress to yourself, not others. D．You may also find that you learn more from a close friend than from a teacher. E．If you want to truly be studious, you have to stop comparing yourself to other people. F．Instead, you should be proud of yourself from moving from a C to a B-minus, and so on.

When it gets a bit overwhelming, we can reach a level of exhaustion that is unbearable — the dreaded burnout. 1 According to ‘Psychology Today’, burnout isn’t just caused by working long hours; it is more about prolonged or repeated exposure to a stressful situation. The result can be feelings of cynicism (愤世嫉俗) and depression. A feeling of loss of control can create a conflict with the sense of self, which can lead to burnout. 2 Unexpectedly, this means that trying to be more efficient can result in a reduction in our productivity. But what can we do to avoid the evils of burnout? Well, there are some tips that may help you. 3 A feeling that the task is achievable and that you are capable of succeeding means that a difficult task might be less struggling. Finding ways to express your creative side may help. Not everyone has creative aspects to their jobs, and, therefore, they need to find other outlets. 4 All of this may help to separate them from the overwhelming stress that may exist in their working life. 5 The consequence is that you are surrounded by a cleaner and more positive environment. This, in turn, leads to another tip, which is to have healthy and positive thoughts. Having a positive mental attitude towards everything you do means that you may feel more capable as well. In general, burnout has psychological effects that can impact heavily on your work and life. Taking steps to avoid burning out can benefit not just us, but our bosses and families. A．Travelling or reading is strongly recommended. B．They could paint, write or take part in local theatre. C．Experiencing burnout is normal in high-stress tasks.

If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels. 2 ● 3 Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” ●Avoid polluted air. Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation. 4 Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor. ●Eat breakfast. A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle. 5 If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices. A．Be social and outgoing. B．Engage in voluntary work. C．There are physiological effects of this condition on the body. D．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health. E．Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit. F．Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.

(阿尔伯塔大学(University of Alberta)医学教授Arya Sharma博士说：“当你没有休息好时，生活中发生的每件事都会给你带来更多压力。”如果我们睡眠不足，我们的身体也会更难控制血压、炎症和血糖水平)”可知，上文提到了血压、炎症和血糖水平，本句为本段最后一句，应说明这些因素对心血管的影响。故D选项“这些因素都会影响心血管健康”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据本段内容“Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.” (为别人做好事有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。2016年发表在《身心医学》上的一项研究表明，生活中的目标感与心脏病发作和中风的可能性较低有关。“我们知道孤独是心脏健康的一个风险因素，”夏尔马补充说。“志愿活动可以让你走出家门，建立一个社交网络。”)”可知，本段的主旨是从事志愿活动，可以有助于你的自尊和缓解压力。故B选项“从事志愿工作”符合语境，故选B。 4．根据上文“Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease.

To make cooking effortless, quick and delicious, processed food turns out to be an enormous business today. 1 Since early ages, people have been preserving food with varied techniques such as salt preservation, fermentation (发酵), drying, and so on. Food is either mechanically (机械地) or chemically processed to increase shelf life and ensure it is free from harmful micro creatures. 2 What's more, processed food is very popular nowadays because of the taste and flavors it offers to its consumers. Processed food uses artificial flavors, preservatives, added colors, and many chemicals. It offers a heavy calorie dose and less nutrition, making it an unhealthy option. Besides, some processed food contains too much sugar, salt, and fats, which are extremely harmful to health. 3 You need to be aware of what you are eating. The way it impacts your health is essential to a healthy well-being. Some lifestyle changes can help to get away from health risks and ensure a healthier lifestyle. Replacing highly processed food with more organic and natural food options is important. 4 5 More studies can help in bringing up awareness among people about its harm.

It offers a heavy calorie dose and less nutrition, making it an unhealthy option. Besides, some processed food contains too much sugar, salt, and fats, which are extremely harmful to health.(加工食品使用人工香料、防腐剂、添加色素和许多化学物质。它提供了高热量和低营养，使它成为一个不健康的选择。此外，一些加工食品含有过多的糖、盐和脂肪，这对健康极为有害) ”可知，下文主要介绍了加工食品的缺点，所以选项F“However, an important question is about the nutritional value of it.(然而，一个重要的问题是它的营养价值)”符合，说明加工食品有一定的坏处，与上文构成转折关系，同时引起下文，故选F。 2．根据下文“What's more, processed food is very popular nowadays because of the taste and flavors it offers to its consumers.(更重要的是，加工食品现在非常受欢迎，因为它提供给消费者的口味和风味)”可知，此处进一步讲了加工食品受欢迎的原因，根据what's more(更重要的是)可知，空处应该是顺承该句内容，也是讲述加工产品受欢迎的原因，选项E“Processed food has developed rapidly because of its convenience.(加工食品因其方便而发展迅速)”符合，故选E。 3．根据上文“Processed food uses artificial flavors, preservatives, added colors, and many chemicals.

Then, the following tips can help you increase your confidence and become a better person. Know your dream 1 . The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be. Write down your goals and how to achieve them When setting goals, it’s not enough to simply write down what you want to achieve. 2 . For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. Keep control of your goals by focusing on your actions and taking responsibility for your journey. Learn from successful people There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs. 3 . 4 Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition. Try new things often Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new. 5 . Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill. Learn a craft, a sport, or go to a dance class. And the great thing is that as you become better and more skilled, your confidence will grow. A．Your life needs a purpose. B．Manage your state of mind. C．Make sure what you want to do. D．Don’t just limit this to going somewhere different. E．You must also include a means of achieving that goal. F．Remember that luck doesn’t play a part in you achieving your goals. G．And you will benefit from those books than those based just on theory. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．G 4．B 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文提供了一些提升自信的建议，包括找到人生目标、制定计划、学习成功人士的经验、管理心态以及尝试新鲜事物。作者认为，通过努力，我们可以变得更加自信，成为更好的人。 1．根据后文“The first step to greater self-confidence is identifying that purpose — your reason for getting on with life. A good way to do this is to write a paragraph or maybe two that outlines where you want to be.(增强自信的第一步是确定目标——你继续生活的理由。这样做的一个好方法是写一段或两段来概述你的目标)”可知，后点明了缺乏自信的根源之一是缺少目标。A选项“你的生活需要一个目标”符合语境，强调了目标对于提升自信的重要性。故选A。 2．空前提到“When setting goals, it’s not enough to simply write down what you want to achieve. (设定目标仅仅写下你想实现的目标是不够的)”以及后文“For instance, if your goal is a promotion, your plan should include studying for the required qualifications. (例如，如果你的目标是晋升，你的计划应该包括学习所需的资格)”可知，本句解释仅仅写下目标是不够的，强调了需要有行动步骤来达成目标。接着给出了一个具体的例子来解释如何制定实现目标的方法。E选项“你还必须包括实现这一目标的手段”符合语境。故选E。 3．根据上文“There are plenty of self-help books written by people who have not really tasted success. What they write is not based on experience. Choose a book written by a successful person, and you will be getting the benefit of first-hand experience. There are an increasing number of billionaires who write their memoirs.(有很多自助书籍是由没有真正尝到成功滋味的人写的。他们写的东西不是基于经验。选择一本成功人士写的书，你将获得第一手的经验。越来越多的亿万富翁写回忆录)”可知，上文提到越来越多的亿万富翁写他们的回忆录，因此空格处应该填入关于学习经验的好处的句子。选项G“你会从这些书中获益更多，而不是那些仅仅基于理论的书”最符合上下文语义。故选G。 4．根据后文“Now, focus on self-care. Start with the basics: healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep. These simple habits will make you feel better physically and mentally. Finally, when faced with new situations, approach them with a positive and open mindset. Take time to adjust if necessary, like grabbing a coffee and chatting with colleagues to ease the transition.(现在，专注于自我照顾。从最基本的开始：健康的饮食、规律的锻炼和充足的睡眠。这些简单的习惯会让你身心舒畅。最后，当面对新情况时，要以积极开放的心态去面对。如果有必要，花点时间调整，比如喝杯咖啡，和同事聊聊天，以缓解过渡)”可知，本段落主要讲的是管理心态。强调了自我关怀，接着下一句它指出了三种基础的自我关怀方法：healthy eating, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep.这些方法能够改善身心健康。因此B“控制你的心态”概括了这段话的中心思想，自我关怀的核心就是管理好自己的心态，让自己保持积极乐观的心态。故选B。 5．根据上文“Every now and then break out of a boring routine and try something new.(时不时地打破无聊的常规，尝试一些新的东西)”以及后文“Try to find an activity where you can learn a skill.(试着找一个你能学到一项技能的活动)”可知，本段落主要讲的是尝试新鲜事物，打破常规，尝试新事物，空处应该填入关于尝试新鲜事物的补充说明。故D选项“不要仅仅局限于去不同的地方”符合语境。故选D。 Passage 3 （23-24高二上·浙江杭二·期中） If you’re a perfectionist, that might mean you can be pretty hard on yourself. A mistake at work, for example, could result in some pretty negative self-talk or actions, like depriving yourself of a snack later that day. 1 But self-punishment doesn’t encourage growth, says Katherine, a psychotherapist and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control.” 2 “When you punish someone, that person doesn’t learn how to change; they learn how to avoid the source of the punishment.” 3 This might look like overworking, overspending, or numbing yourself with excessive consumption of social media or TV shows. None of this actually helps you grow, though. Instead of punishing yourself for making a mistake, it is more effective to practice self-compassion(自我同情). Katherine suggests the broaden-and-build theory, a positive psychology theory that was developed by social psychologist Barbara in 1998. Broaden-and-build theory suggests that when you’re in a positive headspace you feel more able to face different challenges and make choices based on the possibility of positive outcomes. When you’re in a negative headspace your view narrows and you aren’t inspired or encouraged to think differently. 4 Research demonstrates self compassion’s positive association with a greater sense of self-worth, more realistic self-evaluations of strengths and weaknesses, lower levels of depression and anxiety. 5 Choosing self-compassion instead of self-punishment means you are more likely to learn from your mistakes and grow as a person. A．In other words, you’re punishing yourself. B．“Punishment doesn’t work.” she writes in her book. C．To put yourself in a positive headspace, you need to practice self-compassion. D．If you are the source of your own punishment then you learn to avoid yourself. E．Punishment can be mistaken for a handful of things like discipline, personal responsibility. F．It is also related with increased motivation to learn from past mistakes, and the list goes on. G．Instead of being scared to act natural consequence might encourage you to act in a way leading to a positive result. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如果你是一个完美主义者，这可能意味着你对自己很苛刻。与其因为犯错而惩罚自己，不如练习自我同情。 1．根据上文“If you’re a perfectionist, that might mean you can be pretty hard on yourself. A mistake at work, for example, could result in some pretty negative self-talk or actions, like depriving yourself of a snack later that day.”（如果你是一个完美主义者，这可能意味着你对自己很苛刻。例如，工作中的一个错误可能会导致一些非常消极的自言自语或行为，比如当天晚些时候不让自己吃零食。）可知，讲的是完美主义者对自己犯错后的苛刻和惩罚的行为。结合选项A项In other words, you’re punishing yourself.（换句话说，你是在惩罚自己。）承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，上下文紧密连接。故选A项。 2．根据上文“But self-punishment doesn’t encourage growth, says Katherine, a psychotherapist and author of “The Perfectionist’s Guide to Losing Control.””（但心理治疗师、《完美主义者失控指南》(The Perfectionist’s Guide to lose Control)一书的作者凯瑟琳(Katherine)说，自我惩罚不会促进成长。）提到自我惩罚不会促进成长。结合选项B项“Punishment doesn’t work. ” she writes in her book.（“惩罚不起作用”。她在书中写道。）可知，和上文内容意思一致，为对上文内容的语意递进，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选B项。 3．根据上文“When you punish someone, that person doesn’t learn how to change; they learn how to avoid the source of the punishment.”（当你惩罚某人时，那个人不会学会如何改变；他们学会了如何避免惩罚的源头。）提到别人学会了如何避免惩罚的源头。以及下文“This might look like overworking, overspending, or numbing yourself with excessive consumption of social media or TV shows.”（这可能看起来像过度工作，超支，或者通过过度消费社交媒体或电视节目来使自己麻木。）说明结逃避自己的方式。合选项D项If you are the source of your own punishment then you learn to avoid yourself.（如果你是自己惩罚的源头，那么你就学会了逃避自己。）说明你是自己惩罚的源头，承接上文内容，同时引起下文，下文为对空格处内容的解释和补充，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选D项。 4．根据上文“When you’re in a negative headspace your view narrows and you aren’t inspired or encouraged to think differently.”（当你处于消极的头脑空间时，你的视野会变得狭窄，你不会受到启发或鼓励去思考不同的问题。）说明消极状态的情况。以及下文“Research demonstrates self compassion’s positive association with a greater sense of self-worth, more realistic self-evaluations of strengths and weaknesses, lower levels of depression and anxiety.”（研究表明，自我同情与更强的自我价值感、对优势和劣势更现实的自我评估、更低程度的抑郁和焦虑呈正相关。）提到自我同情。结合选项C项To put yourself in a positive headspace, you need to practice self-compassion.（为了让自己处于积极的心态，你需要练习自我同情。）为说明相反情况，即让自己处于积极的心态，同时引起下文，下文为对空格处内容的解释，上下文紧密连接。故选C项。 5．根据下文“Choosing self-compassion instead of self-punishment means you are more likely to learn from your mistakes and grow as a person.”（选择自我同情而不是自我惩罚意味着你更有可能从错误中吸取教训，成长为一个人。）提到自我同情不是自我惩罚，意味着你更有可能从错误中吸取教训。结合选项F项It is also related with increased motivation to learn from past mistakes, and the list goes on.（这也与从过去的错误中学习的动力增加有关，这样的例子不胜枚举。）可知，和下文内容紧密连接，都是讲的关于从过去的错误中学习的情况，符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二上·浙江宁波余姚中学·期中） Holidays abroad are easier than ever thanks to smartphones. With the autumn weather fast approaching, it’s the perfect time of year to jet off and get away from hustles and bustles. 1 Here are some top tips to make sure you’re not caught out on your break abroad. Treat yourself to a power bank The batteries inside our phones are typically designed to last for around a day of moderate usage. 2 So you’re going to want some extra support so you don’t end up going AWOL (absent without leave) when your phone dies. That’s why I recommend picking up a USB power bank, which will give you a little bit of extra juice to keep you connected to the rest of the world. Enable Data roaming (漫游) 3 The good news is that it is easier than ever to stay connected to the net when abroad. Make sure you check with your network provider what your roaming plan is. In many countries it is straightforward to buy a SIM card for a local network, with a much more generous data allowance. 4 If you’ve got a newer phone, it will probably support “eSIM” — where you can simply use an app like Holafly or Airalo while connected to wifi to set yourself up on a new network temporarily. Download offline application software And finally, you need to get your apps in order. Once you reach your destination you’ll need a mapping app, and maybe even a translation app — Apple and Google make their own version of both. And modern translation apps are particularly exciting. 5 Then you get a clear translation. Make sure that all of the critical data is downloaded so that apps work offline and you can travel the world like a local. Bon voyage! A．What good is a phone without Internet access? B．You simply wave your phone at the scanner instead. C．In fact, you may not even need a physical card anymore. D．Why do you need to get your phone ready to be connected?
