How to Pick High School Classes
Many high school students want to know what courses to take to improve their chances for admission to highly competitive colleges. 1 Here is some advice to help you when you make these decisions.
2 Students should take challenging classes. But they should balance their schedule with easier classes, too. Students can talk with their teachers about what courses will offer the appropriate challenge.
Don’t take classes for the wrong reasons. Students shouldn’t take a class just because their best friend is taking it or it’s a course they think they need to get into college. Students should focus on their strengths and make sure they have time to devote to studying. Parents shouldn’t set unrealistic expectations either. 3
Do consider future plans when choosing high school classes. Students should first think through their career plans and whether they want to go to a four-year college, or straight to go to work after graduation. 4 While students don’t need to know exactly what they want to do after high school, the closer they can get to figure out their career path, the better prepared they will be.
Don’t neglect (忽视) to plan early. Students should become familiar with all the courses their school offers. 5 Students can also research what the basic requirements are for colleges they are interested in attending – something school counselors (咨询师) could help with.
It is wise to first consult your teachers and high school counselors on what courses are most appropriate for you at your high school. We hope that these suggestions help you.
A.Do create a strict but balanced schedule.
B.Try talking with your English teacher.
C.Otherwise, they may miss out on classes they want to take later.
D.Choosing classes may seem difficult at first and you may be at a loss for how to start.
E.By doing so, students can determine what high school classes will best prepare them for their future path.
F.Focus on where your kids fit academically and don’t add pressure.
G.It is also necessary to always take into account the needs of the country.
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·吉林白城·期中)
Some people seem to handle life’s ups and downs without needing much support, encouragement, and motivation (激励) from others. 1 Of course, we all need a little help and guidance sometimes. But these habits are what independent people do that make them so successful in life.
2 Independent people certainly don’t need any help getting up in the morning! They are self-reliant and know that success means “hanging in there”. They don’t need praise, encouragement, and recognition from others that they are on the right path. They know they can get the job done, and that excitement is what keeps them going.
They prioritize (优先考虑) their goals and dreams. 3 Some people allow their hopes and dreams to be just that, and they pay too much attention to the naysayers (摇头族) who tell them it’ll never happen. Self sufficient people don’t get distracted or discouraged by those who put a downer on their ideas. They know the path to success may not be easy, and that there may be setbacks along the way, but they believe in what they can achieve.
They know themselves well. Independent people are self-assured. They are aware of their strengths and their weaknesses. 4 Of course, it’s nice for people to think highly of you, but independent people don’t need this approval in order to think highly of themselves.
They learn from their mistakes and don’t see them as failures. Just like all of us, independent people get things wrong. The only difference is that those who are self-sufficient don’t need any comfort when things don’t go as planned. 5
A.And they make those dreams happen.
B.They just stop for a solution and try again.
C.Change doesn’t get in the way of their success.
D.They are passionately driven and extremely self-motivated.
E.They are most successful when they are left to find things out for themselves.
F.What’s more, they don’t need continuous advice or encouragement from others.
G.Some rely on others to help them make decisions, facing even the simplest daily tasks.

(24-25高一上·吉林吉林·期中)
If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade. Even though reviewing things you already learned might seem boring, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with the material. 1
Study in 1-hour blocks.
Keep your study time shorter so you don’t get tired. 2 Only focus on one subject at a time during each block. In this way, you don’t get information mixed up between classes.

5
Find a place where you won’t have trouble concentrating on the material. Avoid studying in a room with other loud people or distractions (使分心的事) since it’ll be hard to focus and remember the material. Instead, go into your room and shut the door, or find a quiet spot at the school library where you can sit.

B.Review your notes in your own words.
C.Find a time when you feel the most energetic to study.

Be confident after you enter high school. People like making friends with those who are confident. 2 . Smile and ask them their names, if they’ve seen a new movie, or if they like a sport or an activity. Sit in the middle of the classroom so that a lot of people will sit around you.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·内蒙古呼和浩特·期中)
Different Culture Makes Our Life Interesting
Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 1 So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? 2 In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
3 When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. 4
Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 5
On the one hand, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but on the other hand, you can also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A.To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
B.Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C.Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (移民团体)with their own customs.
D.The more you learn,the more you get used to respecting cultural differences
E.So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F.It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture!
G.Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.
Passage 3
(24-25高一上·黑龙江绥化·期中)
Sports are as important as studies for students because they help students to stay focused and enjoy working. 1 Here are some best sports for students to play at school.
2 About 250 million players in over 200 countries play this sport. The rules in football allow each team to have eleven players on the field at a time. The sport can be played almost everywhere. It is certainly a good sport for the students in the school.
Another excellent sport for students is basketball. 3 Each team has five people playing in the ground. The players compete against each other in a court (球场) to achieve the main goal of shooting a basketball through the defenders (后卫).
Volleyball is also a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by the net. Each of the team tries forcefully to score points by grounding the ball on the other team court under organized rules. 4
It is generally agreed that softball developed from a game called indoor baseball, first played in Chicago in 1887. It is played with a larger ball on the smaller field. 5 When the weather is bad, softball is a very good indoor sport for students.
You can include these best sports for students to play at school to keep them energetic and do better in their studies.
A.Sports are a must for students at school or home.
B.Everybody knows that basketball is a team sport.
C.Everyone tries to do a goal against the other using a stick.

(24-25高一上·黑龙江龙东联盟·期中)
As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 1 . If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself.
Know your own culture
One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. 2 . Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect.
3
Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how differently people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. 4 . The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt.
Appreciate the differences
Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: Ask questions if your friends are open to them. 5 .

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·辽宁大连·期中)
As human beings we get frustrated when people don’t behave the way we expect them to. It’s time to remind yourself of the truth: You can’t control how other people behave. What you can control is how you respond to it all. 1
Get comfortable with pausing.
When someone is acting irrationally, don’t join them. Instead, pause and take a deep breath. Truth be told, you are often most powerful and influential in an argument when you are most calm. Others never expect calmness. They expect yelling, defensiveness, offensiveness, and lots of back and forth. They expect, to leap into the ring and fight. But your calm pause? 2
Think bigger.
Imagine a two-year-old who doesn’t get what she wants at the moment. She throws a temper tantrum! This small momentary problem is enormous in her little mind. 3 We realize that there are dozens of other things this two-year-old could do to be happier. So think bigger and broaden your perspective. You’ll see this small thing matters little in the grand scheme of things.
4
Being kind to someone you disagree with doesn’t mean you’ re fake. It means you’ re mature enough to control your emotions and do the right thing. When you speak respectfully, both parties can remain calmer and move forward with grace.
So just keep reminding yourself that no one has ever made-themselves strong by showing how small someone else is. 5 There are many roads to what’s right in this world.
A.Respect people’s differences.
B.Find compassion (理解同情) and put yourself in others’ shoes.
C.That can really disarm them, and put you back in control.
D.But as adults, we know better.
E.Remind yourself that we are all more alike than we are different.
F.Just because someone does it differently doesn’t make it wrong.
G.Here are some ways I’ve learned to remain calm and contain myself.
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·吉林省吉黑十校联考·期中)
You all want to see your friends happy. But when someone close to you is feeling down, it can be hard to help them out. 1 However, there exist simple yet meaningful methods to support them during this difficult period.
Express support gently. 2 Avoid judging (评判) their behavior or situation. You could say, “I’ve noticed you’ve been quiet lately. Is everything okay?” Or, “You seemed a little down the last time I saw you, so I wanted to check in about how you’re doing.” This shows you care and encourages them to open up.
Listen actively. When your friend shares their feelings, focus on listening. Avoid giving advice when they are expressing themselves. Instead, saying “I’m here to listen if you need to talk” can go a long way in showing you’re present and supportive. 3
Keep inviting them. Someone who is down may refuse your calls, ignore (忽视) your texts, or call off plans at the last second. But don’t just give up. Even if they turn down your invitations, keep reaching out. 4 This shows your friendship is valued and they’re not forgotten.
5 Remember, you’re a friend, not an expert. Gently suggest finding professional (专业的) help if they haven’t been totally against the idea. You can research local experts or support groups together. Encouragement and understanding can strengthen their belief in getting better.
A.Encourage professional help.
B.Offer to help them out with daily tasks.
C.Just hearing them out when they open up helps them feel less alone.
D.Start by letting your friends know you’re there for them.
E.Include them in social activities, like a movie night or a walk.
F.They might tell you that they want to feel accepted no matter what happens.
G.It takes patience, understanding and an open mind to learn about their situations.
Passage 3
(24-25高一上·黑龙江·期中)
Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on? When low energy drags (拖累) you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that feeling disappears, you’ll feel sleepy and even more tired. 1 Here are some ways.
Let the sunshine in.
Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may improve mood, memory, and the ability to learn new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. 2
Chew a piece of sugar- free gum (口香糖).
It’s not exactly clear why, but many studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were given gum to help them focus.
3
When you’ re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen (氧气) that reaches cells. To lower the stress, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.
Have a drink of water.
You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. 4 The walk there will also help you wake up.
Play your favorite music.
5 So put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you’re at work and don’t want to face others’ puzzled looks, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.
A.Have a big meal.
B.Take a few deep breaths.
C.Singing helps decrease levels of stress in your body.
D.If you really can’t get out, at least open the window.
E.What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed.
F.Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours.
G.Go for a walk in natural sunshine, especially in the early morning.

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中)
Clothing was very expensive in ancient times because, without engine-powered machines, it was very hard to make. 1 . Many people probably owned only the clothes they were wearing. Many children had no clothes at all, and just went unclothed.
In the Stone Age, most clothing was made of leather or fur (毛皮), or grasses. By the Bronze Age most clothes were made out of wool, linen (亚麻布) or cotton, although many clothes, especially coats, were still made out of leather or fur. Some rich people wore silk. 2 , but still most people had only one or two outfits.
3 . Clothes helped to show where they were from, whether they were rich or poor, and whether they were a girl or a boy.
Around the Mediterranean — in Egypt, North Africa, Greece and the Roman Empire-people mostly wore wool or linen tunics (袍子) 4 . Further north, in Europe,a lot of men wore wool trousers under their tunics — as they probably do today.
In West Asia, both tunics and trousers were also pretty common. In China, too, people wore tunics, and a lot of people wore trousers. Their tunics and trousers were made out of silk, and later out of cotton. 5 , out of one big piece of cloth wrapped around themselves in various ways.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·辽宁省名校联盟·期中)
In a picture book, pictures, rather than words, tell the story. It’s true that a wordless picture book lacks words for the story. But it follows all the basic requirements of a book. 1 In addition, it possesses a unique identity that is driven by an artist’s vision, which opens up windows to boundless imagination.
2 The unique reality is experienced when readers interact with the pictures. The process of reading picture books is a curious interaction between the author and the readers. The readers bring their own imagination and experiences to interpret a space suggested by the author.
By opening the pages of such a book, children fall into a story that requires them to provide context and clues from pictures to move the story forward. 3 So, for children who enjoy art, wordless picture books offer them the opportunity to exercise their imagination.
The format also allows children to expand their critical thinking skills and creativity. Since every wordless picture book has a structure and a plot, children have to use skills such as prediction and drawing conclusions based on experiences to make sense of the story. Since there are no words, children can feel free to make up the story as they like. 4
This is the essence of wordless picture books-they can become anything you want. They give a child the confidence to feel that if you can imagine it, it can exist. 5
A.They can even change the ending, if they wish.
B.They are attracted to the design and the colors.
C.It, in turn, excites and builds up their imagination.
D.For example, it has a plot, character development and so on.
E.A wordless picture book takes readers into a new level of reality.
F.This confidence brings out human creation, from artworks to scientific discoveries.
G.Parents and their children can share their feelings by reading these books together.

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while, encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the U.S.
1 . But jungles (丛林) contain wonders as well as dangers and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions (预防措施), the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated (引导). “ 2 If we tell our kids they can’t have access (机会) to the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines (搜索引擎). Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. 3 A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·内蒙古呼和浩特·期中)
Different Culture Makes Our Life Interesting
Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 1 So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? 2 In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
3 When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. 4
Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 5
On the one hand, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but on the other hand, you can also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A.To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
B.Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C.Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (移民团体)with their own customs.
D.The more you learn,the more you get used to respecting cultural differences
E.So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F.It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture!
G.Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.
【答案】1.G 2.F 3.B 4.E 5.A
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了我们对文化的不同理解,以及理解不同文化的方法。
1.根据上文“Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. (文化通常指的是食物、节日、服装和音乐,但它也比这些要深刻得多。)”可知,空格处进一步解释文化是什么。选项G. Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture. (行为、习俗、信仰和价值观也是你的文化的一部分。)能够承接上文。故选G。
2.根据上文“Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? (你进去的时候会脱鞋吗?)”以及下文“In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. (在日本,如果你不把户外鞋换成拖鞋,你就不会进去,而在美国,很多人进来时都懒得脱鞋。)”可知,空格处是对“进门脱鞋”这件事对于不同文化的影响。选项F. It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of different culture! (这是一件简单的事情,但它是不同文化的巨大标志!)能够承上启下。故选F。
3.根据下文“When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be. (当你遇到来自不同文化背景的人时,你可以礼貌地询问他们的生活。找一些与你不同的人写的书或看关于他们的电影。此外,你可以通过旅行沉浸在不同的文化中,了解不同的生活方式。)”可知,空格处应该总的说明的是通过学习来了解不同文化的。选项B. Learning is another great way to understand different cultures. (学习是了解不同文化的另一个好方法。)能够作为本段的主题句,引出下文。故选B。
4.根据上文“But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. (但是,假设来自某一特定文化的每个人都有相同的态度和经历,这是一个问题。你的假设导致你对他人的预先判断可能是有害的。)”说明的是“假设导致你对他人的预先判断可能是有害的。”可知,空格处应该说明的是与此相反的情况。选项E. So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well. (所以即使你非常了解他们的文化,也不要这样对他们。)能够承接上文。故选E。
5.根据上文“Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. (我们之间的差异使生活如此有趣。所以接受你和来自不同文化背景的朋友之间的差异。)”说明的是接受不同文化的差异,可知,空格处应说明的是怎么做。选项A. To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation. (要做到这一点,一定要在好奇心和欣赏之间取得平衡。)能够承接上文。故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·辽宁大连·期中)
As human beings we get frustrated when people don’t behave the way we expect them to. It’s time to remind yourself of the truth: You can’t control how other people behave. What you can control is how you respond to it all. 1
Get comfortable with pausing.
When someone is acting irrationally, don’t join them. Instead, pause and take a deep breath. Truth be told, you are often most powerful and influential in an argument when you are most calm. Others never expect calmness. They expect yelling, defensiveness, offensiveness, and lots of back and forth. They expect, to leap into the ring and fight. But your calm pause? 2
Think bigger.
Imagine a two-year-old who doesn’t get what she wants at the moment. She throws a temper tantrum! This small momentary problem is enormous in her little mind. 3 We realize that there are dozens of other things this two-year-old could do to be happier. So think bigger and broaden your perspective. You’ll see this small thing matters little in the grand scheme of things.
4
Being kind to someone you disagree with doesn’t mean you’ re fake. It means you’ re mature enough to control your emotions and do the right thing. When you speak respectfully, both parties can remain calmer and move forward with grace.
So just keep reminding yourself that no one has ever made-themselves strong by showing how small someone else is. 5 There are many roads to what’s right in this world.

【答案】1.G 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了在面对他人的行为不符合我们预期的情况时,我们应如何保持冷静并做出恰当反应。
1.根据上文“It’s time to remind yourself of the truth: You can’t control how other people behave. What you can control is how you respond to it all. (现在是时候提醒自己一个事实了:你无法控制别人的行为方式。你可以控制的是你如何应对这一切。)”可知,下文将介绍保持冷静和克制自己的方法,G项“Here are some ways I’ve learned to remain calm and contain myself. (以下是我学会的一些保持冷静和克制自己的方法。)”承上启下,引出下文具体的方法,故选G项。
2.根据上文“Others never expect calmness. They expect yelling, defensiveness, offensiveness, and lots of back and forth. They expect, to leap into the ring and fight. But your calm pause? (其他人从未期待过平静。他们期待大喊大叫、防御、攻击以及大量的来回争吵。他们期待跳进竞技场去战斗。但是你的平静停顿呢?)”可知,当别人不理智时,我们保持冷静停顿下来,别人通常预期的是争吵等反应,而我们的冷静停顿会起到相反的效果,与C项“That can really disarm them, and put you back in control. (这真的可以让对方放下防备,让你重新掌控全局。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选C项。
3.根据上文“Imagine a two-year-old who doesn’t get what she wants at the moment. She throws a temper tantrum! This small momentary problem is enormous in her little mind. (想象一下,一个两岁的孩子此刻没有得到她想要的东西。她发脾气!这个短暂的小问题在她小小的头脑中是巨大的)”与下文“We realize that there are dozens of other things this two-year-old could do to be happier. (我们意识到,这个两岁的孩子还可以做很多其他事情来变得更快乐。)”可知,成年人的视角和小孩不同,与D项“But as adults, we know better. (但作为成年人,我们更了解。)”上下文一致,体现了这种对比,起到了承上启下的作用,故选D项。
4.根据下文“Being kind to someone you disagree with doesn’t mean you’ re fake. It means you’ re mature enough to control your emotions and do the right thing. (善待与你不同意见的人并不意味着虚伪。这意味着你已经足够成熟,可以控制自己的情绪并做正确的事情。)”可知,要尊重人与人之间的差异,与A项“Respect people’s differences. (尊重人们的差异。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选A项。
5.根据上文下文“There are many roads to what’s right in this world. (在这个世界上,通往正确的道路有很多条。)”可知,做事的方式多种多样,不能因为别人的做法和自己不一样就判定其是错误的,与F项“Just because someone does it differently doesn’t make it wrong. (仅仅因为某人的做法不同并不意味着它就错了。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选F项。
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·吉林省吉黑十校联考·期中)
You all want to see your friends happy. But when someone close to you is feeling down, it can be hard to help them out. 1 However, there exist simple yet meaningful methods to support them during this difficult period.
Express support gently. 2 Avoid judging (评判) their behavior or situation. You could say, “I’ve noticed you’ve been quiet lately. Is everything okay?” Or, “You seemed a little down the last time I saw you, so I wanted to check in about how you’re doing.” This shows you care and encourages them to open up.
Listen actively. When your friend shares their feelings, focus on listening. Avoid giving advice when they are expressing themselves. Instead, saying “I’m here to listen if you need to talk” can go a long way in showing you’re present and supportive. 3
Keep inviting them. Someone who is down may refuse your calls, ignore (忽视) your texts, or call off plans at the last second. But don’t just give up. Even if they turn down your invitations, keep reaching out. 4 This shows your friendship is valued and they’re not forgotten.
5 Remember, you’re a friend, not an expert. Gently suggest finding professional (专业的) help if they haven’t been totally against the idea. You can research local experts or support groups together. Encouragement and understanding can strengthen their belief in getting better.
A.Encourage professional help.
B.Offer to help them out with daily tasks.
C.Just hearing them out when they open up helps them feel less alone.
D.Start by letting your friends know you’re there for them.
E.Include them in social activities, like a movie night or a walk.

1.根据上文“But when someone close to you is feeling down, it can be hard to help them out.(但是,当你亲近的人情绪低落时,很难帮助他们摆脱困境。)”和下文“However, there exist simple yet meaningful methods to support them during this difficult period.(然而,在这个困难时期,有简单而有意义的方法来支持他们。)”可知,空处和下文形成转折关系,说明帮助朋友摆脱困境的困难之处。选项G“了解他们的情况需要耐心、理解和开放的心态”符合语境,既承接上文,又引出下文。故选G。
2.根据上文“Express support gently.(温柔地表达支持。)”可知,空处承接上文,进一步解释要让朋友知道你的支持。选项D“首先让你的朋友知道你支持他们”符合语境。故选D。
3.根据上文“Listen actively. When your friend shares their feelings, focus on listening. Avoid giving advice when they are expressing themselves. Instead, saying ‘I’m here to listen if you need to talk’ can go a long way in showing you’re present and supportive.(积极倾听。当你的朋友分享他们的感受时,专注于倾听。当他们表达自己时,避免给出建议。相反,说“如果你需要交谈,我在这里倾听”可以在很大程度上表明你在场并支持他们。)”可知,本段主要讲述要积极倾听,空处对倾听的好处作总结,选项C“当他们敞开心扉时,仅仅倾听就能帮助他们减少孤独感”符合语境。故选C。
4.根据上文“But don’t just give up. Even if they turn down your invitations, keep reaching out.(但不要轻易放弃。即使他们拒绝了你的邀请,也要继续联系他们。)”和下文“This shows your friendship is valued and they’re not forgotten.(这表明你们的友谊很珍贵,他们也没有被遗忘。)”可知,空处提出了被朋友拒绝后能够采取的建议。选项E“让他们参与社交活动,比如电影之夜或散步”符合语境。故选E。
5.根据下文“Remember, you’re a friend, not an expert. Gently suggest finding professional (专业的) help if they haven’t been totally against the idea. (记住,你是一个朋友,而不是专家。如果他们没有完全反对这个想法,可以温和地建议他们寻求专业帮助。)”可知,本段主要建议要鼓励朋友寻求专业帮助,A项与下文中“Gently suggest finding professional (专业的) help”对应。选项A“鼓励寻求专业帮助”符合语境。故选A。
Passage 3
(24-25高一上·黑龙江·期中)
Are you sleepy as the afternoon wears on? When low energy drags (拖累) you down, don’t look to a candy bar, a cup of coffee, or an energy drink for a lift. The sugar and caffeine might give you an immediate pick-me-up, but after that feeling disappears, you’ll feel sleepy and even more tired. 1 Here are some ways.
Let the sunshine in.
Research suggests that just a few minutes of walking outside on a warm, clear day may improve mood, memory, and the ability to learn new information. Going outside can even improve your self-esteem. 2
Chew a piece of sugar- free gum (口香糖).
It’s not exactly clear why, but many studies have shown that chewing gum increases attentiveness. Even before science confirmed it, during World War I, American soldiers were given gum to help them focus.
3
When you’ re stressed, it’s natural to breathe shallowly, which can decrease the amount of oxygen (氧气) that reaches cells. To lower the stress, try breathing in through your nose for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds, and then slowly breathing out for four seconds.
Have a drink of water.
You don’t necessarily have to follow the “eight glasses a day” rule. But you do want to drink enough water to keep your body functioning well. 4 The walk there will also help you wake up.
Play your favorite music.
5 So put on your favorite song, and sing away. If you’re at work and don’t want to face others’ puzzled looks, you might want to save your beautiful voice for the car.
A.Have a big meal.
B.Take a few deep breaths.
C.Singing helps decrease levels of stress in your body.
D.If you really can’t get out, at least open the window.
E.What you need is a lasting solution to helping you feel refreshed.
F.Try to get to the fridge or water cooler for a refill every few hours.
G.Go for a walk in natural sunshine, especially in the early morning.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·辽宁省名校联盟·期中)
In a picture book, pictures, rather than words, tell the story. It’s true that a wordless picture book lacks words for the story. But it follows all the basic requirements of a book. 1 In addition, it possesses a unique identity that is driven by an artist’s vision, which opens up windows to boundless imagination.
2 The unique reality is experienced when readers interact with the pictures. The process of reading picture books is a curious interaction between the author and the readers. The readers bring their own imagination and experiences to interpret a space suggested by the author.
By opening the pages of such a book, children fall into a story that requires them to provide context and clues from pictures to move the story forward. 3 So, for children who enjoy art, wordless picture books offer them the opportunity to exercise their imagination.
The format also allows children to expand their critical thinking skills and creativity. Since every wordless picture book has a structure and a plot, children have to use skills such as prediction and drawing conclusions based on experiences to make sense of the story. Since there are no words, children can feel free to make up the story as they like. 4
This is the essence of wordless picture books-they can become anything you want. They give a child the confidence to feel that if you can imagine it, it can exist. 5
A.They can even change the ending, if they wish.
B.They are attracted to the design and the colors.
C.It, in turn, excites and builds up their imagination.
D.For example, it has a plot, character development and so on.
E.A wordless picture book takes readers into a new level of reality.
F.This confidence brings out human creation, from artworks to scientific discoveries.
G.Parents and their children can share their feelings by reading these books together.
【答案】1.D 2.E 3.C 4.A 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了绘本对于启发孩子的想象力和增强自信心方面的作用。
