Passage 2 （2021上·山西太原高二统考期末）Trying to find common topics with someone you've never met before and may never meet again, is certainly awkward. Like it or not, your future holds many conversations with strangers that must start somewhere. Usually, they begin with small talk. 1 . An icebreaker that works in every situation There's one icebreaker question that'll work every single time: Tell me about yourself. The four words are much more effective than the question "So what do you do?" because you don't make any assumptions (假设) about the other person. 2 . It allows you to start a conversation without the fear that you're going to make someone uncomfortable. Raising a broad question lets people lead you to who they are. Stay curious 3 , your next move is equally important. You have to really listen to how the other person responds and care what they have to say. Talk about what they're interested in. Build on it. Ask them more questions about that thing. 4 . You need to hear what the other person has to say. Bringing enthusiasm to the conversation will go a long way. How to exit gracefully Sometimes you just run out of things to talk about. One last trick for you. Be honest. Say you've got to go to the bar, to the bathroom, to say hello to your friend across the room. Then go. 5 . But do you really want to be stuck talking to someone when you have nothing to talk about? Abandoning one bad conversation frees you up to start another with someone new. It starts with, "So Bob, tell me about yourself." A．Sure, it might feel rude B．Here's how to do small talk right C．Don't quickly exit the conversation D．After you get past the breaking of ice E．Even if he's excited about a certain topic F．A good conversation depends heavily on curiosity G．The four words are more likely to lead to a truly interesting conversation Passage 3 As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it’s more important than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk. 1 Here’s how to master the art of small talk. The cornerstone of effective small talk lies in developing genuine interest. Genuine interest is about actively seeking to understand the other person, valuing their perspectives and appreciating the uniqueness they bring to the conversation. 2 Small talk extends beyond spoken words; it includes the art of observation. As you engage in conversation, pay attention to the speaker’s body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. 3 Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also enables you to establish a deeper connection by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style. Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say. 4 Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights. This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection. At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity (真实性) of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted responses. 5 In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions. A．Instead, let your true self shine through. B．Some accessible topics are great for small talk. C．Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker. D．Focus on understanding their viewpoints beyond simply hearing words. E．The signals provide valuable insights into their emotions and intentions. F．Small talk may be a gateway to building rich and meaningful relationships. G．By expressing authentic curiosity, you make the other person feel seen and heard. Passage 4 （21-22高二下·浙江台州·期中）With the current world conditions forcing us to stay longer indoors, you’ve likely tried to pick up a new skill. If you aren’t an active learner, you may think it’s taking you too long to pick up that new skill. 1 But slow learning often has more to do with our ability to focus and our attitude towards learning than our innate ability to learn. Let’s take a look at three reasons why you may be learning slowly. Lack of focus makes learning slow. But once you improve your focus, you’ll be surprised by how much faster you can gain new knowledge and skills. So try every means to improve your focus. 2 Choose a quiet environment to do your learning and ensure you won’t be interrupted. Unrealistic expectations make us believe we’re slow learners. Whenever we want to pick up a new skill, we assume that the learning process will go smoothly. 3 When we don’t meet our unrealistic expectations of how fast we should be learning, we think we don’t have any talent or that we aren’t smart. So we must keep our expectations realistic. 4 The person who’s already a good surfer and skater has a foundation of board sports to transfer into snowboard, which will make him learn the new skill faster. We may think we’re slow learners when we compare ourselves to others, but they may already have knowledge and skills that allow them to pick up the new learning much quicker. 5 The more we learn, the faster we can learn new things. A．Beliefs have a strong influence on learning. B．You might even think that you’re slow learner. C．We don’t know what they’ve learned in the past. D．For instance, remove as many distractions as possible. E．Previous learning affects how quickly we learn something new. F．The strategy here to become a faster learner is to never stop learning. G．But the reality is that learning is sometimes frustrating, stressful, and slow. Passage 5 （24-25高一下·山东菏泽·期中）Nobody likes being stuck in a traffic jam, but sadly, many people have to deal with it every day. 1 Pack some snacks before you go. This will help if you’re stuck in a long traffic jam and get hungry, and it’s honestly a pretty good time waster, too. 2 If you’re drinking anything sweet, watch out for spills (洒出). 3 Playing a road game is a great way to get rid of the boredom. There are lots of games that are fun and enjoyable for everyone! I Spy is a very popular road game where you say “I spy with my little eye something that is…” and you say the color of the object you’ve chosen, and the others have to guess what it is. Take a breath. Many people experience car sickness in a long journey. If you have been stuck in a serious traffic jam where the cars aren’t moving at all, just roll down the window or even open the door (if it’s safe to do so), and take a breath beside your car for a second. 4 5 There are plenty of other things you can do while being stuck in a traffic jam! Ask the driver to go to a good radio station and start calling in and get involved (参与). No matter who’s watching you, sing along to the song on the radio at the top of your voice and dance around in your seat to the song! Start a conversation with the people in the car next to you! Pretend you know them and start by saying, “I haven’t seen you for ages!” A．Play a road game. B．Get creative with your free time. C．Talk to your doctor about car sickness. D．This can help you feel better if you’re carsick. E．There are steps you can take to help you handle it. F．Try to bring food that won’t make a mess in the car! G．Many of the previous methods have been proved ineffective. Passage 6 The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox. 1 Here’s what we can do. Come Up With a Plan. 2 — after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff. Create NoPhone Zones. “My No.1 piece of advice is no phone in the bedroom overnight,” Dr. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said. “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.” 3 The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect. 4 Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling. For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about. 5 A．Resist the Hooks. B．Not all screen time is bad. C．Say no to Facebook or Twitter. D．So I turned to psychology experts for their advice. E．Whenever we are at home, we can put phones away. F．Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other No­Phone Zones. G．If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to grayscale mode. Passage 7 （22-23高二上·四川内江·阶段练习）How to Write a Story about Yourself There’s an old saying that there’s a book in everyone. True, but not everyone is a natural writer. Writing a story about yourself isn’t as easy as telling it, but with a few simple rules and tips, you can do it. Talk to a tape or digital recorder and tell your story there first. This allows you to start the process of thinking about the story as a story. 1 . The recording will give you a rough idea of what you want to say and the general flow of the statement. 2 . You will need an outline for the story before you write it. While some people do this in their heads, creating a written outline allows you to organize your thoughts, determine the story’s flow and get started. Tell the story in a straightforward way. 3 . “I walked into the tiny white kitchen, realizing something was wrong” is fine. “I walked slowly into the clear white but very small kitchen, sensing something wrong on the wind” is too much. Be realistic. This is a story about yourself, not Clark Kent. The real story will be very interesting and believable if it is true without embellishment. 4 . So, just go with it. Finish the story. Leave it for a month or so. 5 . Hardly is a story perfect when written for the first time. Don’t be afraid to revise the story to make it cleaner and better. A．Use words very little B．Don’t worry about the opening C．Read it again and start revising D．Your story is interesting enough E．Listen to the story and take notes F．Start writing the story with your outline G．It doesn’t have to be perfect on the recording Passage 8 （24-25高一上·河北张家口·阶段练习）For outdoor lovers, it is important to be prepared for any kind of natural disasters in the open air. That means having a disaster response plan. 1 . And it also should include what resources should be taken on your trip. Different types of disasters are likely to occur in different areas. Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; avalanches may occur in mountainous areas in winter and landslides in summer. 2 . This can help you find the right survival ways in different conditions. 3 . Any disaster that may separate you from other people for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring should be suited to the disaster you might face. Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice. 4 . If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wild, you should put your survival plan into effect immediately. First of all, stay calm, act decisively, and begin working to keep yourself alive. 5 . Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious, do not panic, and do not easily abandon your plan. A．Then contact others for help B．It includes the types of disasters that may occur C．Therefore, always do some research ahead of time D．So, revising it frequently is strongly recommended E．But you can turn to some experts for help in person F．These disasters can lead to extremely serious consequences G．While planning, the most important thing to consider is what to pack Passage 9 （19-20高二上·辽宁·期末）Whatever it means to be a good child, it doesn’t mean being perfect. 1 Maybe one way to think of it is this: good children put themselves on the path towards being happy, successful adults. Any parent would appreciate this type of good children. Treat others like you want to be treated. 2 , and it really is a valuable rule to love by. For children, acting towards your parents, friends, family and other people with this guide in mind shows thoughtfulness and maturity on your part. Learn to recognize how other people are feeling. If you know how other people are feeling and are likely to react, you’ll have a great advantage in deciding how you’d behave in that situation. For instance, if your parents are stressed about how they’re going to pay for the bills for the month, it is probably not the best time to ask for a video game or new shoes. 3 , it is probably not the best time to tease him about his lack of athletic skills. 4 . When someone is hurting, or needs a hand, do what you can to help. The world always needs more sympathetic, helpful people. Offer gratitude to those who help you. As you become more aware of how you can help others, you should also become more aware of all the people that help you. 5 . A．Know when to ask for help B．Show concern and sympathy C．Many people call this the “golden rule” D．Let them know you appreciate all they do for you E．Explain how you feel about the conflict by saying something F．Or, if your brother is upset about not making the baseball team G．It does involve qualities like understanding, self-discipline, and appreciation, though Passage 10 Memory can be a curious thing. Why can you so easily recall the name of the kid you sat next to in first grade but can’t remember where you left your cell phone five minutes ago? Don’t worry — there’s probably nothing wrong with your brain. It’s more likely that you’re just distracted (注意力分散的). Our attention is limited, which means we can’t focus on everything around us. 1 . We talked to experts and explored the science to find tips and tricks to help improve your memory. Write it by hand If you’re struggling to remember information you typed onto your computer or tapped out on your smartphone, there may be a reason for it. Our brains remember things better when we write them by hand. 2 . A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience backs this up. Have a home for everything If your biggest memory problem is not ever being able to find anything, there’s a simple solution to help you with this: 3 . For example, keep the remote control (遥控器) on the table next to the couch and have a regular spot (固定的地方) for other things you often misplace, like your phone, wallet, and keys. This way, you’ll always know where to find them. 4 If you want to learn how to remember things better, pick up a pencil and eraser — or a puzzle app on your phone. One study found that crossword puzzles can improve thinking and memory almost as much as a related prescription medication (外方药) could. 5 . A．Play word games and puzzles B．Keep your to-do lists up to date C．We have to choose what to pay attention to D．Make sure everything has a place, and always put it back there E．Riddles, long or short, can also help you sharpen your brain F．If you focus on the information that you’re trying to remember, you’re more likely to recall it later G．One easy way to improve your memory is to make handwritten lists instead of digital ones Passage 11 Having a business in retirement has numerous advantages. You can generate the extra income. And as your own boss, you will have the flexibility. Also, you’ll have the opportunity to learn new things and meet new people. 1 Here are the tips. Understand your target market. Before starting your business, conduct market research to know the actual demand for your product or service. The demand for your business’s offerings can significantly influence its success. 2 With this information, you’ll be able to tailor your services and products to suit your customers’ needs. Consider your financial needs. 3 But they are usually the most challenging. Without sufficient financial resources, your business may have a hard time finding its footing. When determining your financial needs, you must be realistic. 4 Startups usually have personal investments by business owners. If you have adequate savings from your working years, you may want to use them to fun d your business venture. Otherwise, you can explore an alternative funding source like a loan. Have a business plan. Many small business owners underestimate the importance of a business plan. 5 But this is not true. Although business plans take a long time to develop and require a significant amount of research and data, they are essential for both small and large enterprises. A．Look at your funding sources. B．Find business cooperation if necessary. C．They feel it’s unnecessary and a waste of time. D．So how can you turn this fantasy into a success? E．You are able to seek outside funding for your venture. F．When starting a new business, you may want enough funds. G．Identify your target customers and their purchasing preferences. Passage 12 （24-25高二上·河南郑州·期末）Studying abroad is often referred to as an enriching experience, offering opportunities for personal growth. 1 One of the primary challenges is the cultural barrier. Language fluency is not just about speaking the language but also understanding all kinds of social rules that vary from country to country. You’ll need to be comfortable communicating in the local language with your teachers, classmates, and the wider community. 2 From the table manners to the transportation systems and dress codes, everything may be vastly different from what you’ re used to at home. This culture shock can lead to feelings of anxiety, homesickness, and even depression if you’re not properly prepared. 3 Some of you may be encountering full independence for the first time, whether that means living alone or traveling abroad for the first time. One of the more difficult aspects of culture shock is realizing that your support network of family and friends is far away. Being prepared for this transition is crucial to handling the emotional impact of being on your own. Studying abroad can be quite costly, too. 4 The cost can vary greatly depending on your destination, so it’s important to do your research and create a budget that includes not only your studies but also tourism, transportation, entertainment and emergencies. In conclusion, while studying abroad can be an incredibly rewarding experience, it’s essential to understand the potential challenges and disadvantages. By being aware of these and preparing accordingly, you can make the most of your international study experience. 5 A．Independence is another significant challenge. B．Make sure the college where you study abroad is trusty. C．Additionally, the sudden shift in culture can be overwhelming. D．However, it’s vital to recognize the challenges of studying abroad. E．It is right to learn foreign history and culture before going abroad. F．School fees and the expenses of accommodation can add up quickly. G．And you’ll come back with a broader perspective and new experiences. Passage 13 Tips for students who are new to virtual learning （21-22高二上·浙江舟山·期末）Many schools across the country are closed. They have shut their doors due to the coronavirus outbreak. This puts teachers and students in a new situation. 1 Here are a few virtual learning tips.

Before the food festival started, the school had set up tents and posted menus at the gate of the canteen to attract students. 1 On the first day of the food festival, when the bell rang after the last class in the morning, everyone rushed to the booths (摊位) in front of the canteen. 2 There was a long line in front of each booth. Everyone sweated in the burning sun, but the heat didn’t stop the students’ enthusiasm for delicious food. Fortunately, I bought a cup of milk tea that I had been longing for in just a few minutes. It tasted even better than I had imagined! 3 Without any experience, I chose to try as much food as I could, which gave me so much joy and satisfaction. For example, I fell in love with the crispy durian pastry (榴莲酥) at first bite. 4 And I can still remember how exquisite the craftsmanship (技艺) of making Indian pancakes was. However, what impressed me most was in fact the “intangible cultural heritage on the tip of the tongue”. It was everyone’s combined effort that made the activity such a big success, and it is people’s love for food that made the festival special. Enjoy food, value food, have a heart of gratitude and never forget the ones who have brought you up. 5 A．From this, I have learned how to cook well. B．More and more people began to buy milk tea C．This is what I’ve learned from the food festival. D．As a dessert lover, I couldn’t wait to enjoy tasty foods.

Passage 15 （23-24高二上·河北保定·期中）Tomato plants are adaptable to less-than-optimal conditions, but meeting their preferred conditions yields the juiciest and most delicious fruit. Light. 1 In extremely hot conditions, the morning sun and light afternoon shade are sufficient. Although the plants can grow in mainly shady areas, the production of fruit will be severely limited. Soil and water. Tomato plants grow best when they have fertile soil and consistent moisture (水分). If it rains less than 25.4 millimeters per week, you need to water them yourself. 2 Placing much around your tomato plants discourages weeds, maintains soil moisture, and prevents diseases from splashing off the soil onto the leaves when it rains. Aim for a 3-to 4-inch-thick layer of organic covering, such as straw, chopped leaves or finely shredded wood chips. Temperature and humidity (湿度). 3 Wait until the soil warms in spring before setting out plants. Tomato plants grow well when the temperature is about 25℃. Although they love the sun, when the temperature rises above 40℃, they will stop growing. Tomatoes like a relatively high humidity level of 65 percent to 85 percent. Levels higher than this range negatively affect the plants. 4 Tomato plants grow best when fertilized at two specific times during the growing season: right after planting and just before the fruit develops. Apply balanced liquid plant food to them. Pruning (打杈). Tomato plants don’t have to be pruned. However, removing any side shoots (新枝) growing between the main stem and a branch is a good idea. 5 A．Fertilizer. B．The planting area. C．Tomatoes are warm-weather fans. D．In general, tomato plants require the full sun. E．However, to prevent diseases, avoid wetting the leaves. F．To make them grow better, water them as often as you can. G．They can influence the growth of main branches growing fruit. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 七选五 Passage 1 Problems between parents and children are common and timeless.

(你的下一步行动同样重要)”可知，在与陌生人破冰交谈之后，下一步行动同样重要。所以选择项D“After you get past the breaking of ice (在你突破了坚冰之后)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 4．根据小标题“Stay curious(保持好奇)”和前句“Build on it. Ask them more questions about that thing. (多问他们关于那件事的更多的问题)”可知，带着好奇心问更多的问题可以更好地交谈。所以选择项F“A good conversation depends heavily on curiosity (一次好的交谈很大程度上取决于好奇心)”符合上下文语境。选择项中的“curiosity”与小标题中的“curious”相一致。故选F。 5．根据前文“Say you've got to go to the bar, to the bathroom, to say hello to your friend across the room. Then go.(比如你要去酒吧，去洗手间，和你房间另一头的朋友打招呼。然后走了)”可知，不打招呼离开显然不礼貌。所以选择项A“Sure, it might feel rude (当然，这可能会让人觉得不礼貌)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 Passage 3 As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it’s more important than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk. 1 Here’s how to master the art of small talk. The cornerstone of effective small talk lies in developing genuine interest. Genuine interest is about actively seeking to understand the other person, valuing their perspectives and appreciating the uniqueness they bring to the conversation. 2 Small talk extends beyond spoken words; it includes the art of observation. As you engage in conversation, pay attention to the speaker’s body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. 3 Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also enables you to establish a deeper connection by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style. Actually listening and connecting with someone is essential for a conversation. By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say. 4 Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights. This depth of engagement lays the foundation for a more meaningful connection. At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity (真实性) of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted responses. 5 In the world of small talk, authenticity is the key that unlocks the door to deeper connections and more fulfilling interactions. A．Instead, let your true self shine through. B．Some accessible topics are great for small talk. C．Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker. D．Focus on understanding their viewpoints beyond simply hearing words. E．The signals provide valuable insights into their emotions and intentions. F．Small talk may be a gateway to building rich and meaningful relationships. G．By expressing authentic curiosity, you make the other person feel seen and heard. 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．E 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何掌握闲聊艺术的四种方法。 1．上文“As our lives become more closely connected with the digital age, it’s more important than ever to keep the spark of human connections, a key part of which is making small talk.(随着我们的生活与数字时代联系越来越紧密，保持人际关系的火花比以往任何时候都更重要，其中一个关键部分就是闲聊。)”说明了闲聊能维系人际关系。选项F“闲聊可能是建立丰富而有意义的关系的途径。”进一步说明了闲聊的重要作用，承上启下，引出下文“Here’s how to master the art of small talk.(下面是掌握闲聊艺术的方法。)”说明以下是与他人进行闲聊的方法。故选F项。 2．上文“The cornerstone of effective small talk lies in developing genuine interest. Genuine interest is about actively seeking to understand the other person, valuing their perspectives and appreciating the uniqueness they bring to the conversation.(有效闲聊的基石在于培养真正的兴趣。真正的兴趣是积极地寻求理解对方，重视他们的观点，欣赏他们给谈话带来的独特性。)”说明有效的闲聊在于培养真正的兴趣，解释了真正的兴趣的含义，选项G“通过表达真实的好奇心，你让对方感到被关注和被倾听。”承接上文，是培养真正的兴趣的具体做法。G项中“authentic curiosity”与空前的“Genuine interest”相呼应。故选G项。 3．上文“Small talk extends beyond spoken words; it includes the art of observation. As you engage in conversation, pay attention to the speaker’s body language, facial expressions and tone of voice.(闲聊超越了口头语言；它包括观察的艺术。当你参与谈话时，注意说话人的肢体语言、面部表情和语调。)”说明了闲聊中观察谈话中的非语言信号，以及下文“Being familiar with them not only helps you navigate the conversation with sensitivity but also enables you to establish a deeper connection by respecting the slight differences of the other person’s communication style.(熟悉他们不仅有助于你敏感地驾驭对话，还可以通过尊重对方沟通风格的细微差异来建立更深层次的联系。)”说明了熟悉这些非语言信号的作用和益处，选项E“这些信号为了解他们的情绪和意图提供了有价值的见解。”起到承上启下的作用，选项E中“The signals”与空前的“the speaker’s body language, facial expressions and tone of voice”和空后的“them”相对应。故选E项。 4．上文“By providing your undivided attention, you convey respect and interest in what the other person has to say.(通过全神贯注，你表达了对对方所说的话的尊重和兴趣。)”说明全神贯注地倾听，对谈话很重要。以及下文“Ask follow-up questions to show that you value their insights.(问一些后续问题来表明你重视他们的见解。)”说明在谈话中，交流必不可少。选项D“专注于理解他们的观点，而不仅仅是听他们说话。”与前后文的内容存在先后顺序，先认真倾听，再专注于理解别人的观点，最后再询问一些问题进行深度交流。故选D项。 5．上文“At the heart of successful small talk lies the authenticity (真实性) of your engagement. Authenticity fosters a sense of trust and connection, making the conversation more meaningful and memorable. Avoid the temptation to project an image or use scripted responses.(成功的闲聊的核心在于你参与的真实性。真诚能培养一种信任感和联系感，使谈话更有意义，更令人难忘。避免投射形象或使用脚本回答的诱惑。)”说明闲聊时真实地参与进来，要真诚，而不是使用人设和套路。选项A“相反，让真实的自己闪耀出来。”与上文构成转折关系，在闲聊中，不能使用人设和套路，要真诚真实。故选A项。 Passage 4 （21-22高二下·浙江台州·期中）With the current world conditions forcing us to stay longer indoors, you’ve likely tried to pick up a new skill. If you aren’t an active learner, you may think it’s taking you too long to pick up that new skill. 1 But slow learning often has more to do with our ability to focus and our attitude towards learning than our innate ability to learn. Let’s take a look at three reasons why you may be learning slowly. Lack of focus makes learning slow. But once you improve your focus, you’ll be surprised by how much faster you can gain new knowledge and skills. So try every means to improve your focus. 2 Choose a quiet environment to do your learning and ensure you won’t be interrupted. Unrealistic expectations make us believe we’re slow learners. Whenever we want to pick up a new skill, we assume that the learning process will go smoothly. 3 When we don’t meet our unrealistic expectations of how fast we should be learning, we think we don’t have any talent or that we aren’t smart. So we must keep our expectations realistic. 4 The person who’s already a good surfer and skater has a foundation of board sports to transfer into snowboard, which will make him learn the new skill faster. We may think we’re slow learners when we compare ourselves to others, but they may already have knowledge and skills that allow them to pick up the new learning much quicker. 5 The more we learn, the faster we can learn new things. A．Beliefs have a strong influence on learning. B．You might even think that you’re slow learner. C．We don’t know what they’ve learned in the past. D．For instance, remove as many distractions as possible. E．Previous learning affects how quickly we learn something new. F．The strategy here to become a faster learner is to never stop learning. G．But the reality is that learning is sometimes frustrating, stressful, and slow. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．G 4．E 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些影响学习速度的因素。 1．根据后文“But slow learning often has more to do with our ability to focus and our attitude towards learning than our innate ability to learn.(但是慢速学习更多的是与我们的专注能力和学习态度有关，而不是我们天生的学习能力)”可知，本句是在说明学得慢的情况，B选项中slow learner对应后文中slow learning。故B选项“你甚至可能认为自己学得慢”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据上文“So try every means to improve your focus.(所以要想尽一切办法提高你的注意力)”以及后文“Choose a quiet environment to do your learning and ensure you won’t be interrupted.(选择一个安静的环境来学习，确保你不会被打扰)”可知，本句说明的提高注意力的方法是找一个安静的环境，D选项中distractions对应后文中be interrupted。故D选项“例如，消除尽可能多的干扰”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据后文“When we don’t meet our unrealistic expectations of how fast we should be learning, we think we don’t have any talent or that we aren’t smart. So we must keep our expectations realistic.(当我们不能满足我们对学习速度的不切实际的期望时，我们就会认为自己没有任何天赋或不聪明。所以我们必须保持现实的期望)”可知，后文提到了不能满足对学习速度的期望，就会沮丧和自我怀疑，故G选项“但现实是，学习有时令人沮丧、有压力，而且很慢”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据后文“The person who’s already a good surfer and skater has a foundation of board sports to transfer into snowboard, which will make him learn the new skill faster. We may think we’re slow learners when we compare ourselves to others, but they may already have knowledge and skills that allow them to pick up the new learning much quicker.(已经是优秀的冲浪和滑冰运动员的人已经有了滑板运动的基础，可以转移到滑雪板上，这将使他更快地学习新技能。当我们把自己和别人比较时，我们可能会认为自己学得慢，但他们可能已经有了知识和技能，可以让他们更快地接受新的学习)”可知，后文的例子表明，之前学习过的事物也会影响学习新事物的速度，故E选项“之前的学习影响我们学习新事物的速度”符合语境，故选E。 5．根据后文“The more we learn, the faster we can learn new things.(我们学得越多，学习新事物的速度就越快)”可知，后文提到学得越多，学习速度就越快，可见本句建议永远不要停止学习。故F选项“要成为一个更快的学习者，策略就是永远不要停止学习”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 5 （24-25高一下·山东菏泽·期中）Nobody likes being stuck in a traffic jam, but sadly, many people have to deal with it every day. 1 Pack some snacks before you go. This will help if you’re stuck in a long traffic jam and get hungry, and it’s honestly a pretty good time waster, too. 2 If you’re drinking anything sweet, watch out for spills (洒出). 3 Playing a road game is a great way to get rid of the boredom. There are lots of games that are fun and enjoyable for everyone! I Spy is a very popular road game where you say “I spy with my little eye something that is…” and you say the color of the object you’ve chosen, and the others have to guess what it is. Take a breath. Many people experience car sickness in a long journey. If you have been stuck in a serious traffic jam where the cars aren’t moving at all, just roll down the window or even open the door (if it’s safe to do so), and take a breath beside your car for a second. 4 5 There are plenty of other things you can do while being stuck in a traffic jam! Ask the driver to go to a good radio station and start calling in and get involved (参与). No matter who’s watching you, sing along to the song on the radio at the top of your voice and dance around in your seat to the song! Start a conversation with the people in the car next to you! Pretend you know them and start by saying, “I haven’t seen you for ages!” A．Play a road game. B．Get creative with your free time. C．Talk to your doctor about car sickness. D．This can help you feel better if you’re carsick. E．There are steps you can take to help you handle it. F．Try to bring food that won’t make a mess in the car! G．Many of the previous methods have been proved ineffective. 【答案】1．E 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对交通拥堵时可采取的一些措施。 1．上文“Nobody likes being stuck in a traffic jam, but sadly, many people have to deal with it every day.(没人喜欢被困在交通堵塞中，但不幸的是，许多人每天都要面对它)”指出交通拥堵是常见且令人讨厌的情况，空处应承接上文，引出下文面对这种情况可采取的措施，E选项“你可以采取一些措施来帮助你应对它”符合语境。故选E。 2．上文“Pack some snacks before you go.

Ask the driver to go to a good radio station and start calling in and get involved. No matter who’s watching you, sing along to the song on the radio at the top of your voice and dance around in your seat to the song! Start a conversation with the people in the car next to you! Pretend you know them and start by saying, “I haven’t seen you for ages!”(当你被困在交通堵塞中时，还有很多其他事情可以做！让司机调到一个不错的广播电台，然后打电话参与节目互动。不管谁在看着你，都扯着嗓子跟着电台里的歌曲一起唱，在座位上随着音乐舞动起来！和旁边车里的人聊聊天！假装你认识他们，开口就说：“我好久没见到你啦！”)”介绍了在堵车时可以做的其他事情，如听广播、唱歌、跳舞、和旁边车里的人聊天等，这些都是创造性地利用堵车时的空闲时间的方式，B选项“利用你的空闲时间做些有创意的事”概括下文内容，适合作为本段的主题句，符合语境，故选B。 Passage 6 The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox. 1 Here’s what we can do. Come Up With a Plan. 2 — after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff. Create NoPhone Zones. “My No.1 piece of advice is no phone in the bedroom overnight,” Dr. Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, said. “Have a charging station outside the bedroom.” 3 The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect. 4 Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling. For starters, we can resist the hooks by making our phones less intrusive. Turn off notifications for all apps except those that are essential for work and keeping in touch with people you care about. 5 A．Resist the Hooks. B．Not all screen time is bad. C．Say no to Facebook or Twitter. D．So I turned to psychology experts for their advice. E．Whenever we are at home, we can put phones away. F．Outside of our bedrooms, we can create other No­Phone Zones. G．If you feel strongly addicted, take an extreme measure and turn the phone to grayscale mode. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．F 4．A 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些克服手机上瘾的方法。 1．根据上文“The rest of your daily routine is probably something like mine：Divided among streaming movies on Netflix, watching home improvement videos on YouTube and playing video games. There has to be more to life than this. With the holiday season upon us, now it is a good time to take a breather and consider a digital detox.(你日常生活的其余部分可能和我的差不多：在Netflix上看流媒体电影，在YouTube上看家庭装修视频，玩电子游戏。生活中一定有比这更重要的东西。随着假期的临近，现在是时候喘口气，考虑戒掉电子产品了)”以及后文“Here’s what we can do.(这是我们能做的)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出解决上述问题的方法。故D选项“所以我向心理学专家寻求建议”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据后文“after all, many students are attending school via videoconferencing apps. So Step One is assessing which parts of screen time feel toxic and make you unhappy. Step Two is creating a realistic plan to minimize consumption of the bad stuff.(毕竟，许多学生都是通过视频会议应用程序上学的。因此，第一步是评估屏幕时间的哪些部分会让你感觉有毒，让你不开心。第二步是制定一个切实可行的计划，尽量减少有害物质的消耗)”可知，后文提到了学生要利用视频会议学习，可见不是所有的屏幕时间都是不好的。故B选项“不是所有的屏幕时间都是不好的”符合语境，故选B。 3．根据后文“The dinner table, for example, is a prime opportunity for families to agree to put phones away for at least 30 minutes and reconnect.(例如，在餐桌上，家庭成员就有机会同意放下手机至少30分钟，重新建立联系)”可知，后文提到了餐桌上不使用手机，即创造无手机区。故F选项“在我们的卧室之外，我们可以创建其他的无手机区”符合语境，故选F。 4．根据后文“Social media sites create goals to keep users engaged. Those include the number of likes and followers we accumulate on Twitter. YouTube automatically plays the next recommended video, not to mention the never­ending Twitter scrolling.

True, but not everyone is a natural writer. Writing a story about yourself isn’t as easy as telling it, but with a few simple rules and tips, you can do it. Talk to a tape or digital recorder and tell your story there first. This allows you to start the process of thinking about the story as a story. 1 . The recording will give you a rough idea of what you want to say and the general flow of the statement. 2 . You will need an outline for the story before you write it. While some people do this in their heads, creating a written outline allows you to organize your thoughts, determine the story’s flow and get started. Tell the story in a straightforward way. 3 . “I walked into the tiny white kitchen, realizing something was wrong” is fine. “I walked slowly into the clear white but very small kitchen, sensing something wrong on the wind” is too much. Be realistic. This is a story about yourself, not Clark Kent. The real story will be very interesting and believable if it is true without embellishment. 4 . So, just go with it. Finish the story. Leave it for a month or so. 5 . Hardly is a story perfect when written for the first time. Don’t be afraid to revise the story to make it cleaner and better. A．Use words very little B．Don’t worry about the opening C．Read it again and start revising D．Your story is interesting enough E．Listen to the story and take notes F．Start writing the story with your outline G．It doesn’t have to be perfect on the recording 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何写出自己的故事。 1．根据上文“Talk to a tape or digital recorder and tell your story there first. This allows you to start the process of thinking about the story as a story.(先对着磁带或数码录音机讲述你的故事。这让你能够开始将故事当成故事来思考)”可知，上文提到先对着磁带或数码录音机讲述你的故事，即进行录音，故本句是在说明录音的注意事项。故G选项“在录音上不需要完美”符合语境，故选G。 2．根据后文“You will need an outline for the story before you write it. While some people do this in their heads, creating a written outline allows you to organize your thoughts, determine the story’s flow and get started.(在写这个故事之前，你需要一个提纲。虽然有些人会在脑子里写提纲，但写提纲可以让你组织自己的想法，确定故事的脉络，然后开始)”可知，后文提到了需要提纲，F选项中outline对应后文中outline。故F选项“带着提纲开始写故事”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据上文“Tell the story in a straightforward way.(用直截了当的方式讲故事)”以及后文““I walked into the tiny white kitchen, realizing something was wrong” is fine. “I walked slowly into the clear white but very small kitchen, sensing something wrong on the wind” is too much.(“我走进白色的小厨房，意识到有点不对劲”这句话很好。“我慢慢地走进干净洁白但非常小的厨房，感觉风有点不对劲”太过分了)”可知，本段的主旨是语言要简洁，即少用单词。故A选项“少用单词”符合语境，故选A。 4．根据上文“Be realistic. This is a story about yourself, not Clark Kent. The real story will be very interesting and believable if it is true without embellishment.(现实。这是你自己的故事，不是克拉克·肯特的。真实的故事将是非常有趣和可信的，如果它是真实的，没有修饰)”可知，上文提到真实的故事将是非常有趣和可信的，故你的故事应该是有趣的，故D选项“你的故事足够有趣”符合语境，故选D。 5．根据上文“Finish the story. Leave it for a month or so.(完成这个故事。静置一个月左右)”以及后文“Hardly is a story perfect when written for the first time. Don’t be afraid to revise the story to make it cleaner and better.(第一次写的故事很难是完美的。不要害怕修改故事，让它更清晰更好)”可知，本句是在建议修改故事，故C选项“再读一遍并开始修改”符合语境，故选C。 Passage 8 （24-25高一上·河北张家口·阶段练习）For outdoor lovers, it is important to be prepared for any kind of natural disasters in the open air. That means having a disaster response plan. 1 . And it also should include what resources should be taken on your trip. Different types of disasters are likely to occur in different areas. Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; avalanches may occur in mountainous areas in winter and landslides in summer. 2 . This can help you find the right survival ways in different conditions. 3 . Any disaster that may separate you from other people for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring should be suited to the disaster you might face. Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice. 4 . If a natural disaster strikes while you are in the wild, you should put your survival plan into effect immediately. First of all, stay calm, act decisively, and begin working to keep yourself alive. 5 . Do not wait around to see if the disaster is really that serious, do not panic, and do not easily abandon your plan. A．Then contact others for help B．It includes the types of disasters that may occur C．Therefore, always do some research ahead of time D．So, revising it frequently is strongly recommended E．But you can turn to some experts for help in person F．These disasters can lead to extremely serious consequences G．While planning, the most important thing to consider is what to pack 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．G 4．D 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就在自然灾害到来之前制定生存计划提出一些建议。 1．根据上文“That means having a disaster response plan.(这意味着要有一个灾难应对计划)”和下文“And it also should include what resources should be taken on your trip.(它还应该包括你在旅行中应该带什么资源)”可知，空处承上启下，说明灾难应对计划的具体内容。故B选项“它包括可能发生的灾害类型”符合语境，故选B。 2．根据上文“Desert areas are more likely to be affected by droughts; coastal regions are more likely to see hurricanes; avalanches may occur in mountainous areas in winter and landslides in summer.(沙漠地区更容易受到干旱的影响；沿海地区更容易出现飓风；山区冬季可能发生雪崩，夏季可能发生滑坡)”可知，不同地区会发生不同的灾害，因此一定要提前做一些研究。后文中“This”代词指代C内容，故C选项“因此，一定要提前做一些研究”符合语境，故选C。 3．根据下文“Any disaster that may separate you from other people for a period of time will require you to provide your own food, water, and shelter for at least a few days. It’s also a good idea to bring light sources. For disasters that may wet your equipment, flameless light sources are a must. What you bring should be suited to the disaster you might face.(任何可能让你和其他人分开一段时间的灾难都需要你自己提供至少几天的食物、水和住所。带光源也是个好主意。对于可能弄湿设备的灾难，无焰光源是必须的。你带来的东西应该适合你可能面临的灾难)”可知，本段主要讨论在规划时，最重要的是要考虑打包什么。故G选项“在做计划时，最重要的是要考虑打包什么”符合语境，故选G。 4．根据上文“Once you complete your survival plan, it’s better to review it periodically. When a natural disaster strikes, you probably won’t have time to go over a document or go online to seek advice.(一旦你完成了生存计划，最好定期回顾一下。当自然灾害来袭时，你可能没有时间浏览文件或上网寻求建议)”可知，空处和上文形成因果关系，因为完成生存计划以后可能没有时间浏览文件或寻求建议，空处引出结果措施。故D选项“因此，强烈建议经常修改它”符合语境，故选D。 5．根据上文“First of all, stay calm, act decisively, and begin working to keep yourself alive.(首先，保持冷静，果断行动，开始努力让自己活下去)”可知，上文提到首先保持冷静，果断行动，开始努力让自己活下去，空处承接上文，说明接下来该怎么办。故A选项“然后联系其他人寻求帮助”符合语境。故选A。 Passage 9 （19-20高二上·辽宁·期末）Whatever it means to be a good child, it doesn’t mean being perfect. 1 Maybe one way to think of it is this: good children put themselves on the path towards being happy, successful adults. Any parent would appreciate this type of good children. Treat others like you want to be treated. 2 , and it really is a valuable rule to love by. For children, acting towards your parents, friends, family and other people with this guide in mind shows thoughtfulness and maturity on your part. Learn to recognize how other people are feeling. If you know how other people are feeling and are likely to react, you’ll have a great advantage in deciding how you’d behave in that situation. For instance, if your parents are stressed about how they’re going to pay for the bills for the month, it is probably not the best time to ask for a video game or new shoes. 3 , it is probably not the best time to tease him about his lack of athletic skills. 4 . When someone is hurting, or needs a hand, do what you can to help. The world always needs more sympathetic, helpful people. Offer gratitude to those who help you.

Why can you so easily recall the name of the kid you sat next to in first grade but can’t remember where you left your cell phone five minutes ago? Don’t worry — there’s probably nothing wrong with your brain. It’s more likely that you’re just distracted (注意力分散的). Our attention is limited, which means we can’t focus on everything around us. 1 . We talked to experts and explored the science to find tips and tricks to help improve your memory. Write it by hand If you’re struggling to remember information you typed onto your computer or tapped out on your smartphone, there may be a reason for it. Our brains remember things better when we write them by hand. 2 . A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience backs this up. Have a home for everything If your biggest memory problem is not ever being able to find anything, there’s a simple solution to help you with this: 3 . For example, keep the remote control (遥控器) on the table next to the couch and have a regular spot (固定的地方) for other things you often misplace, like your phone, wallet, and keys. This way, you’ll always know where to find them. 4 If you want to learn how to remember things better, pick up a pencil and eraser — or a puzzle app on your phone. One study found that crossword puzzles can improve thinking and memory almost as much as a related prescription medication (外方药) could. 5 . A．Play word games and puzzles B．Keep your to-do lists up to date C．We have to choose what to pay attention to D．Make sure everything has a place, and always put it back there E．Riddles, long or short, can also help you sharpen your brain F．If you focus on the information that you’re trying to remember, you’re more likely to recall it later G．One easy way to improve your memory is to make handwritten lists instead of digital ones 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．D 4．A 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍几个改善注意力的方法。 1．根据上文“Our attention is limited, which means we can’t focus on everything around us.(我们的注意力是有限的，这意味着我们不能关注周围的一切)”可知，上文提到注意力有限，推测本句要说明如何使用有限的注意力。故C选项“我们必须选择关注什么”符合语境，故选C。 2．根据上文“If you’re struggling to remember information you typed onto your computer or tapped out on your smartphone, there may be a reason for it. Our brains remember things better when we write them by hand.(如果你很难记住你在电脑上输入或在智能手机上输入的信息，这可能是有原因的。当我们用手写的时候，我们的大脑记忆会更好)”可知，上文提到手写会让记忆更好，推测本句是在建议手写。故G选项“提高记忆力的一个简单方法是用手写的清单代替数字的”符合语境，故选G。 3．根据上文“If your biggest memory problem is not ever being able to find anything, there’s a simple solution to help you with this(如果你最大的记忆问题是找不到任何东西，这里有一个简单的解决方案可以帮助你)”可知，本句承接上文，说明找不到东西的简单解决方案是什么。故D选项“确保每样东西都有自己的位置，并且总是把它们放回去”符合语境，故选D。 4．该空选取小标题，需总结下文。根据下文“If you want to learn how to remember things better, pick up a pencil and eraser — or a puzzle app on your phone. One study found that crossword puzzles can improve thinking and memory almost as much as a related prescription medication (外方药) could.(如果你想学习如何更好地记住东西，拿起铅笔和橡皮，或者在手机上安装一个益智应用程序。一项研究发现，填字游戏对思维和记忆力的改善作用几乎与相关处方药一样大)”可知，下文提到填字游戏和谜题，A选项中word games and puzzles对应下文crossword puzzles。故A选项“玩文字游戏和拼图”符合语境，故选A。 5．根据上文“One study found that crossword puzzles can improve thinking and memory almost as much as a related prescription medication (外方药) could.(一项研究发现，填字游戏对思维和记忆力的改善作用几乎与相关处方药一样大)”可知，本句补充说明谜题对大脑的益处。故E选项“谜语，或长或短，也可以帮助你磨练你的大脑”符合语境，故选E。 Passage 11 Having a business in retirement has numerous advantages.
