语篇模式也较为固定：依次是提出问题、分析问题、最后是提供解决方案；主要考查考生的做题技能和整体阅读判断能力，注重考查文章的结构。 【备考策略】 1.掌握说明文的结构特点和命题形式。 2.掌握说明文阅读填空的解题思路和技巧。 【命题预测】 预计2026年说明文考查的可能性最大。复习过程中要熟练掌握说明文的命题特点和解题方法，做到成功应对说明文阅读填空。 【必备基础知识】 一、【语篇特点】 分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读“七选五”解题的关键，英语的语篇（Text）通常是由句子（Sentence）和语段（Sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓“积句成章，积章成篇”就是这个道理。 分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落（Paragraph）；另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。 语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到语篇的一种过渡形式，段落是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文等）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。 二、【解题策略】 1、从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的逻辑关系来进一步确认答案。 因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result（结果），thus / therefore（因此），so (such) ... that ...（如此 ...... 以至于 ......）等。 2、从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系 转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。 表示转折关系的连词有：However（然而），nevertheless（仍然；然而；不过）， nonetheless（尽管如此；依然；然而），still（还；然而），though（可是；不过；然而），yet（然而），in spite of（不顾；不管），at any rate（无论如何；至少），in any case（无论如何；不管怎样），whoever（无论是谁），whatever（无论什么），on the contrary（正相反），in contrast（与此相反；相比之下），by contrast（相反；相比之下），in comparison（比较起来；比较地），by comparison（相比之下），conversely（相反地），otherwise（否则；除此以外），not ... but ...（不是 ...... 而是 ......），as well（也）等。 3、从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系 前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。 4、从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系 递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。 表示递进关系的连词有：also（也；而且），further（另外），furthermore（而且；此外），likewise（同样地；类似地；也；又），similarly（相似地；类似地），moreover（而且；再者；此外），in addition（另外；加之），what’s more（而且；更重要的是），too（也；还），either（也），neither（两者都不），not only … but also …（不但 …… 而且 ……）等。 5、从细节逻辑上判断——列举关系 表示列举关系的有：first（首先；第一），second（第二），third（第三）……；firstly（第一；首先），secondly（第二；其次），thirdly（第三）……；first（第一），next（其次），then（那么；然后）……；in the first place（第一；首先），in the second place（第二；其次）……；for one thing（首先；一则），for another thing（其次）……；to begin with（首先；第一），to conclude（最后）等。 6、从词汇线索上判断——指代关系 英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。 7、从词汇线索上判断——同义关系 英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。利用前后句中这种特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。 8、从试题位置上判断——问题在段首 假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。另外着重阅读后文第一、二句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空格后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种衔接手段，尤其是当选项是几句话时。 9、从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾 所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。 总之，分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折或对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立或对比关系。如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词（如转折词）引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。 考点一 阅读7选5中的微观技巧 1.利用词汇关系解题 词汇复现法是为了保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即在文章中对同一个概念进行重复描述，从而使得同样的意思在文章中不同位置反复出现。在做题时考生要注意选项中出现的与正文意思相同、相近或相反的词汇。 词汇复现：原词复现、同义词或近义词复现、反义词复现、同源词复现。 识别词汇复现的方法：1.着重阅读空前、空后两句，锁定关键词，在选项中查找关键词。2.正确选项中的关键词一般重复前一句中的关键词，且与下一句的关键词呼应。 2.利用一致关系解题 一致性原则包括：①句式一致：如果文章有小标题，其句式往往统一，多为祈使句或名词短语。通过观察前后段落的小标题句式，可以确定设空处的正确选项。若无小标题，可依据前后段的句首句式，利用句式一致原则进行判断。同样，段中句也可通过上下句式结构的一致性来判断正确答案。 ②指代一致：句子中的代词与上下文的名词之间存在一致的指代关系。通过仔细分析空白处前后的名词，可以明确这种指代关系，从而确定正确选项。 ③问答一致：在解答7选5题目时，如果选项或文章中出现了疑问句，我们可以通过下文的答语来确定上文的问句内容，反之亦然。 ④主从句一致：在考查含状语从句的复合句时，如果空在前，则空白后部分以小写字母开头。找到备选项中不能独立成句的选项，再根据主从句一致原则确定正确答案。 3.常见逻辑关系及解题方法 ①并列关系 表现形式：and, also, as well as, besides, in addition, moreover, furthermore, either...or..., neither...nor..., not only...but also... 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是并列关系，那么可以从选项中找出与前后内容相关的并列项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “reading books”，后一句提到了 “watching movies”，那么空白处可以填入 “listening to music” 等与阅读和看电影并列的活动。 ②转折关系 表现形式：but, however, yet, on the contrary, in contrast, while, whereas 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是转折关系，那么可以从选项中找出与前后内容相反的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “it is easy to learn English”，后一句提到了 “it is difficult to master English”，那么空白处可以填入 “However, learning English requires patience and perseverance.” 等表示转折的句子。 ③因果关系 表现形式：because, since, as, for, due to, thanks to, so, therefore, thus, as a result, consequently 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是因果关系，那么可以从选项中找出表示原因或结果的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “he studied hard”，后一句提到了 “he got good grades”，那么空白处可以填入 “As a result, he got good grades.” 等表示结果的句子。 ④递进关系 表现形式：besides, in addition, moreover, furthermore, what's more, not only...but also... 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是递进关系，那么可以从选项中找出表示更进一步的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “he is good at math”，后一句提到了 “he is also excellent in physics”，那么空白处可以填入 “Moreover, he is interested in chemistry.” 等表示递进的句子。 ⑤举例关系 表现形式：for example, for instance, such as, like, namely 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是举例关系，那么可以从选项中找出具体的例子。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “there are many kinds of sports”，后一句提到了 “such as basketball, football and tennis”，那么空白处可以填入 “For example, swimming and running are also popular sports.” 等表示举例的句子。 1. 原词复现(2022新课标卷第39题) notice My

Embrace where you are in life’s journey. If you want to live life to the fullest, start by loving yourself for exactly who you are. 2 You’ve all got a path and things to work out, and it’s just accepting what happened rather than potentially judging it. 3 Your comfort zone is just the routine parts of your daily life that are familiar to you.

That’s why it’s important to shake things up every now and again. Be honest with yourself and others. This doesn’t mean that you never tell a “little white lie” — what this means is that you always act towards yourself and others in a way that’s true to your core values.

Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 37 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 38 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 39 If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 40       Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A．Be patient. B．Get the audience involved. C．The best messages are often simple. D．Speak directly to what matters to them. E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. （2026·贵州省贵阳市校联考高三上学期8月检测） Four Tips to Cancel Plans Effectively You’re waiting for your friends to arrive for dinner at night. They’re 10 minutes late. What on earth could have happened to them? 1 , and you’re not the only one who feels that way. Below are some tips on how to cancel plans without risking your relationships. 2 Once there is a conflict in your schedule, notify the affected people immediately. When possible, give others at least a day’s notice. One study found that even among friends, being informed just minutes before the event is the most annoying way to hear about a cancellation. Prioritize talking over texting Though texting is useful and common in society today, when you have to cancel someone’s date, nothing is better than making an old-fashioned phone call. Taking the time to call shows respect. 3 . It also helps you know they got the message, enabling you to communicate clearly and avoid misunderstandings. Offer to reschedule Offering to reschedule shows others they are important to you and you would still like to spend time with them. For example, you can say, “I was really looking forward to the game this weekend. The team is playing here again in three weeks. Would you like to go together then?” 4 . Be honest Honesty is crucial to maintaining strong relationships. Research shows that over 80% said they would be upset to find out the reason provided was a lie. 5 .

Know how you spend your time. Keeping track of your time is crucial for effective management. 2 Surprisingly, even minor activities can become significant time consumers when added up. Conducting a simple time audit (审计) helps you find these hidden black holes in your schedule, which might be taking precious moments away from more critical tasks. You need to write down what you’re doing at regular intervals (间隙) in the day for about a week or two. 3 Determining what tasks are most important and need to be done first ensures that your time and energy are focused on the right things. 4 Once you have a clear vision of what you’re aiming for, it becomes easier to determine which tasks fit with those goals. It’s also important to consider deadlines and the impact each task will have on your overall productivity to make sure that you’re spending your precious time on tasks that truly matter and will bring you closer to reaching your objectives. Use a planning tool. 5 By using a task manager or planner, you can easily track your goals, set deadlines, and break down tasks into smaller steps. This allows you to create a clear roadmap for what needs to be accomplished and helps prevent overwhelm. As a result, you can confidently manage your time and achieve greater productivity in both your personal and professional life.

Faced with such an important decision, what should a college student do? 1 However, rest assured that you can use the following strategies to select the right major and sustain your motivation when the going gets tough. Creating a career plan is one of the ways that students can boost their chances of success in their chosen majors. When making the plan, you should reflect on your beliefs about work, your interest in various academic subjects and your abilities. 2 Then, identify a specific career and outline the steps that you will have to take that will help prepare you for that career. It is also important to do your research about the job that you are interested in pursuing, as well as any related jobs. Some college students drop out of their selected majors because they have become bored with the academic area they have chosen. 3 To avoid these sorts of outcomes, ask yourself which aspects of the job you could see yourself enjoying, as well as the parts of the job that you think you might dislike. It will save you a good deal of time and energy by initially choosing a major that is in line with your interests and abilities. 4 It may come as a surprise when you are presented with difficult material during your first term at college. Students who were at the top of their class may be particularly shocked when they receive their first low grade on an exam. You should not assume, however, that you have made the wrong choice of academic major simply because you performed poorly on one test. 5 With the right mindset and strategies, you can turn your major into a fulfilling path toward your future career. A．It's easy to give in to fear, hesitation, or worry. B．Even with thorough preparation, you would still face challenges. C．Actually, for some college students, this decision is easy to make. D．Use your reflections to guide you as you search for desirable careers. E．Hold on to the confidence that guided you to select your major in the first place. F．Or they may find themselves more attracted to a different academic major altogether. G．Therefore, we should read relevant books on our chosen major before starting college. 2.（2026·广东省湛江市湛江市八校联考高三上学期8月月考） The Unexpected Key to Boosting Our Productivity Sometimes we may wonder if we were a machine, we’d never let things fall through the cracks, and we wouldn’t forget things. 1 It gets in the way of our productivity because it makes us blind to the roots of our actual problems. So what is underneath our productivity problems? 2 Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how? 3 That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness. Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment. 4 Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue. Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox. 5 A．ignore our emotions. B．Awareness is the first step. C．Identify what causes the mess. D．We are not machines but emotional beings. E．But the idea of being a machine is actually a trap. F．One day, we’ll find that we’ve finished handling all in it. G．Sometimes, working like a machine is effective and useful. 考点四 考查段尾句 段尾句通常具有，应当注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信息词。有时，段尾句和段首句呈现出首尾呼应的现象，也是检查选项的一个重要参考。 如何应对段尾句考查 1．细节句：①与上文是转折或对比关系；②与上文是并列或递进关系。 2．总结句：用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语，如therefore、 as a result、 thus、 to sum up、 to conclude、 in a word等。 3．段落过渡句：此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。 段尾设空的题多为总结本段内容，偶有起承上启下的作用。即要么是结论句，要么就是承上启下句。 题型和考查角度： ①结论句：用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语。 ②承上启下句：此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。 ③细节句：空前一句或两句是重点语句，应该重点阅读；锁定空前重点语句中的高频词汇和体现逻辑关系的关联词；寻找选项中是否有表逻辑关系的关联词；寻找选项中是否有与上文相同或相似的句式结构。 ④过渡句：瞻前顾后找线索；阅读上一段的结尾，结合下一段的开头，留意衔接词和关键词；注意所选答案是否衔接上下段内容；阅读空前段落内容，抓住主旨，总结空前的内容，并利用词汇复现等技巧选出正确答案。 (2024新课标II卷第37题) ●Choose mindfully.

A person full of anger might commit a crime of passion. A man in love may do things that compromise his well-being. Surely, this is evidence against emotion’s rationality (理性). 1 Emotions are not only compatible (相容的) with rationality, they can also help us make better choices. Baba Shiv, professor of marketing at Stanford University, writes that “if emotions were irrelevant, we would have evolved very differently”. Since we have emotions, we must wonder why and how they help us, instead of trying to eliminate them. 2 The truth is that emotions and reason are not in conflict. Emotions are rational. They involve judgements. For example, being angry involves judging that a wrongdoing has occurred. That is a rational activity. Emotions also contribute to our understanding. 3 But emotions also give us a reason to act. Fear, for example, gives us a reason to escape a situation. Anticipation of regret provides a reason to avoid excessive risk-taking. Emotions can also help with decision-making. According to Shiv, the emotional brain makes lightning-fast assessments based on past experiences, perceptions of the situation, and other factors that support our instincts. This enables efficient choices. 4 Can we do anything to prevent our emotions from negatively impacting our decision-making: Seo believes so, suggesting ways to reduce the unwanted effects of emotions on our decision-making. For example, if sadness makes us make poor decisions with our money by being reckless (鲁莽的) about spending, we might replace it with gratitude. This feeling might help us make a better, more moderate decision. Humans have reason and emotions. 5 It also prevents us from using our emotions to help us make better decisions. Fortunately, we can choose differently. A．Nevertheless, any situation can still go wrong. B．But this line of thinking couldn’t be more wrong. C．Discounting one for the sake of the other denies our humanity. D．One answer is that emotions aid in rationality and decision-making. E．For example, emotions can change decisions by generating reactions in others. F．They motivate us to inquire about our own beliefs and help us to perceive the world differently. G．It’s why we should warn people about emotions, tell them to calm down before making decisions. （最新模拟试题演练） 1.（2026届四川省巴中市普通高中2023级“零诊”考试） Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach? Hours with your friends at the park? 1 They spend far more time alone, which often leads to loneliness. According to a study on children’s behaviour change and emotional well-being, loneliness among children is on the rise. But there are ways parents can help. Discover the cause When children feel that no one really “gets” them, this can be described as emotional loneliness. 2 Whether they’re struggling to make friends, feeling excluded, or going through a big change, validating their emotions and understanding the root cause can help support them in the right way. Build their confidence Loneliness, especially when feeling left out, can trigger self-doubt and cause children to question their self-worth. 3 Recognizing what they do well helps rebuild their confidence and reinforces a positive self-image. As their confidence grows, they feel more included and become more willing to engage with others. 4 Obviously, helping children find opportunities to connect with peers is a good way to help them feel less lonely. Connecting with others through joining a club, starting a new hobby or simply spending more quality time together as a family can often help with loneliness. Build a supportive environment Loneliness lowers self-esteem and increases anxiety or sadness. It isn’t something that disappears overnight and can’t just be resolved with one conversation. Regular check-ins, showing interest, and reminding them they’re not alone can make a lasting difference. 5 A．Communicate openly. B．Encourage socializing. C．Children should learn how to handle failure. D．There are many reasons why a child may be lonely. E．However, today’s children won’t have the same memories. F．After all, gentle parenting builds confident and connected individuals. G．It’s vital to remind them of their strengths and celebrate their achievements. 2.（2026·安徽省蚌埠市高三上学期开学考试） Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. 1 Even survivors may face long-term consequences. How does extreme heat affect the brain? 2 Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems. Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. 3 Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat. 4 Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources. Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. 5 These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat. A．Who is most at risk? B．The human body works best when at 37℃. C．How to identify those in danger during heat waves? D．It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think. E．So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans. F．Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues. G．Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world. 3.（2026·山西省太原市某校高三上学期9月半月考） If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. However, there are other things you need to think about if you want to be a good sports player. 16 . It’s a common mistake for young athletes to want to jump into the advanced stuff quickly. This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. You need a firm basis before you move on to bigger things. If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly. 17 . Get enough sleep. This one should come as obvious. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy that it becomes hard to push everything into a regular day. However, your body needs its full rest. 18 . If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Set ambitious but realistic goals for yourself. Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. 19 , and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. Stay focused on the game. You won’t get anywhere if you’re worried about something else happening in your life. Life is always complex, and there may be things in your personal life that are bothering you. However, at least for the course of the game, you can’t let any of that stuff get to you. 20 . But if winning the game means a lot to you, then you should keep your eyes on the prize. A．Put basics first B．Let yourself have fun C．It may be easier said than done D．Instead, you should take a look at what you are E．This is especially true if you want to be a great coach F．If you’re a teen, you should sleep 8-10 hours each night G．It will make advanced skills a lot easier to master in the long run 4.（2026·云南省曲靖市罗平县罗平县第二中学高三上学期9月月考） Photography is an incredible journey that allows individuals to express their creativity and capture the world around them.

We stress over this forced choice — approval or isolation — as if they can’t mix. 1 Here are three practical ways to find balance in the digital world. Focus on genuine connections. Likes and comments bring short-term excitement, but they fade fast. True connections matter more. When you share real stories or chat deeply with others, you feel warm inside. 2 So pick activities that make you feel truly good, like talking about hobbies or helping friends online — no need to care about likes! 3 Peace on social media starts with how you see it. Mindful scrolling (浏览) means noticing nice things — an inspiring post, a friend’s happy news — without comparing yourself. The colors of a photo or a kind word can make you smile. You don’t need big tricks. 4 Then you’ll enjoy both: staying connected and feeling peaceful. Celebrate small digital joys. Every little win online — sharing a useful tip, getting a sweet reply — deserves cheers. If you only wait for lots of followers, you’ll miss daily fun. 5 For example, celebrate finishing a post you care about, not just hitting a follower goal. Treat yourself to a snack after a nice chat. These turn online time into a happy journey. A．Try browsing with intention. B．Chasing likes will make you tired. C．Just fix your attention on the little joys online. D．Minor accomplishments in the digital world lift your mood. E．In fact, mixing work and rest online helps you stay balanced. F．But our time online doesn’t have to be stuck in this dilemma. G．That cozy glow from within doesn’t depend on likes or comments. 6.（2026·湖北省宜昌市高三上学期九月起点） Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things (IoT)? It is a term that has been gaining attention in recent years. 1 Simply put, the IoT refers to a network of physical devices connected to the internet, enabling them to collect, share, and act on data. From smart home appliances to wearable fitness trackers, the IoT is transforming the way we live and work. The concept of IoT is not as complex as it sounds. 2 Imagine your refrigerator sending you a notification(通知)when you’re running out of milk, or your smart watch reminding you to stay active after sitting too long. These devices make everyday tasks easier and more efficient. The IoT relies on sensors, software, and wireless networks to create this smooth connection. 3 It enhances convenience, saves time, and improves productivity. In industries, IoT technology is transforming processes. For instance, in agriculture, sensors can monitor soil water levels and help farmers adjust irrigation. In healthcare, wearable devices can track patients’ vital signs and warn doctors about potential health issues. However, the IoT also raises concerns. One major issue is data security. As more devices collect and share personal information, the risk of data exposure increases. 4 Privacy is another challenge, as users may not always know how their data is being used. These issues highlight the need for better security measures. The Internet of Things is shaping a more connected and intelligent world. While it offers many benefits, it also comes with challenges that need to be addressed. As technology continues to develop, the IoT will likely play an even greater role in our lives. 5 A．What does it truly refer to? B．What items might be part of the IoT? C．The benefits of the IoT are undeniable. D．It’s more straightforward than you expect. E．Users often share data freely without realizing its value. F．Sensitive data can be subject to misuse without adequate safeguards. G．It is up to us to accept its potential while remaining mindful of its risks. 7.（2026·湖北省楚天协作体高三上学期开学） Sometimes, everything seems to go wrong. You’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Your zipper breaks. Faced with setbacks large and small, you begin to wonder if you’re just an unlucky person. Why does it seem like you can never catch a break? 1 What Is Luck? People define luck in three ways, according to Jacqueline Woolley. First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with ‘chance’. Another way to frame luck is “as a supernatural force that exists in the universe”, she says. 2 Some people believe it also can be harnessed, with a ritual or charm. Third, it can be thought of as a personal trait that you’re born with. But does it exist? Richard Wiseman believes that considering yourself lucky or unlucky is “a way of seeing yourself, which then has impact on how you think. 3 Vik Loveday interviewed 44 academic employees who were on temporary contracts. He found they would attribute good news concerning their careers to luck, because they believed it happened almost by accident. Professor Woolley also has looked at this idea in children. Between the ages four and eight, they are exposed to the concept of luck mostly through family and books. By age eight to ten, however, they start to get skeptical. They’ve begun to notice that, “when they wish for something, it doesn’t happen, ” she says. 4 For example, Michael Jordan had to wear his college practice shorts under his NBA uniform. How To Think About Luck? After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, Professor Wiseman has found that the ‘lucky’ ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. Lucky people also expect good fortune and can transform bad experiences to good. To improve your luck, you can keep a ‘luck diary’. Spend about 30 seconds writing down a positive thing that’s happened each day. 5 Take a different route when walking, watch a different TV programme and speak to different people. A．Why Is Luck At Play? B．What Is The Role Of Luck? C．Also, don’t be a creature of habit. D．Write down small changes you make in life. E．It may touch on different people at different times. F．There are three experts to help you improve your outlook G．Still, this doesn’t stop the belief from persisting into adulthood. 8.（2026·山西省朔州市怀仁市第一中学校高三上学期摸底） Do you remember when someone would be cruel to you at school and you would come home crying? Your parents probably told you that “what they think doesn’t matter — it’s what you think that counts.” 1 How can you be happy if you don’t like who you are? Here are some ways to change your self-perception and boost your happiness. Identify what matters to you. First, ask yourself what’s important to you. We all have traits (特点) we value and talents we pride ourselves on. 2 If creativity and art are your strengths, emphasize them. It shouldn’t matter if you lack confidence or are overweight as long as you have something to be proud of. Finding your purpose makes minor issues seem less significant. 3 Your current self is a stepping stone to becoming who you want to be. For instance, if you’re unhappy with your career, think about a job that would make you happy and how to achieve it. Remember, many successful people didn’t achieve greatness until later in life; it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. 4 List your positive traits and achievements. Before aiming for self-improvement, recognize your virtues. Sit down and write ten things you like about yourself and ten achievements you’re proud of. Everyone can come up with at least ten items. Find role models. 5 To overcome this, find role models who share similar traits but succeed despite challenges. Seeing how others maximize their strengths can inspire you to do the same, boosting your self-respect. By focusing on what truly matters, you can improve your self-respect and overall happiness. A．Focus on these positive aspects. B．Acknowledge you can change and grow. C．But what if the criticism comes from within? D．The journey itself matters more than the destination. E．How do you go about changing the way you feel about others? F．Reflect on your friends and family members who love you for who you are. G．We often compare ourselves unfavourably to others, especially those in the media. 9.（2026·广西部分学校高三上学期开学） Have you had trouble concentrating on tasks or getting things done? Here are four helpful ways to improve your focus and help you reach the finish line. Take a deep breath 1 . When you’re stressed, your attention narrows. The fight-or-flight response starts working. Your heart beats a little faster, and you might get a little sweaty because you’re anxious. So if something requires your full attention, take a breath and calm your body down. It is your body’s response to that stress that’s causing the limitation in attention. Allow your mind to wander If you are finding it hard to focus, take a break and allow your mind to wander into what’s called the default mode (默认模式) network. 2 . It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind. Get yourself there with something called positive constructive daydreaming. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe it’s a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm, sandy beach. Free your mind for about 20 minutes of this fun and watch what happens. 3 You should set some limitations if you often find yourself wasting time on social media, and it’s making you feel stressed and ashamed. Try turning off push notifications (推送通知) and removing social media apps from your phone to create natural obstacles to accessing them. 4 . Remember your time is precious Think about all the people and things you consider most important — your friends and your hobbies. 5 . Are the lists the same? Do you keep putting off learning to play a new song because social media won’t stop drawing your attention? If you’re just giving away the only precious thing you have, make sure you spend it wisely. A．This is where magic happens B．Pick what you currently have C．Stress can affect your ability to focus D．Get rid of what takes your attention away E．If they’re not enough, use some tools to help you F．Only in this way can you fix your mind on something creative G．Then think about who and what you actually spend your time on 10.（2026·内蒙古部分学校高三上学期8月开学教学质量检测） When a person is authentic, it means that they act in ways that genuinely show how they feel. They do this rather than putting on different faces around different people, or tailoring their personality based on context. 1 To be authentic, you need to accept yourself for who you are, and treat others with respect. Authentic people display a consistent set of values, and don’t change their behaviour from one conversation to the next. Accept yourself for who you are. Accepting yourself often requires a mental attitude adjustment. Try to be slower to criticize yourself or see yourself as inferior to (次于) others. Focus on accepting and appreciating who you are as a unique individual. 2 Put time into personal growth. There is a great deal of authenticity to be found in growing yourself and pursuing interests that fulfill you as a person. 3 In contrast, inauthentic people often neglect the things that interest them in favor of pursuing whatever they believe to be popular or socially required of them. 4 Authentic people are in touch with their moral compass and their personal set of beliefs. This includes religious beliefs, moral beliefs, and beliefs of any other kind. These beliefs should be evident in your daily behaviours. Many people unthinkingly adopt a partner’s, parent’s or friend’s beliefs without figuring out if the beliefs are right for them. Express your thoughts and feelings. 5 Authentic people are comfortable speaking their mind and communicating when they have a problem or are appreciative of something. If you feel prohibited to speak your mind, or realize that you frequently only say what you think those around you expect to hear, you’re likely behaving inauthentically. A．Ask people for help when you need it. B．Act on your personal beliefs and values. C．Talk about your opinion when it matters to you. D．This can be done through classes, volunteering or hobbies. E．This will lead to authentic behaviours in line with your personality. F．If you don’t have a fear of rejection, it will be easier to maintain a relationship. G．Personal authenticity is the daily expression of your core beliefs and personality. 1.（2026·江西省多校联考高三上学期7月模拟预测） In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. 1 Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths— our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. Here are three irreplaceable human attributes (属性). We have real-life experiences while AI has data. Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. 2 While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success the way humans do. Experience isn’t just about information— it’s about personal growth. 3 We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. Instead, it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve. We have free will while AI has codes (代码). Humans can choose generosity over self- interest, forgiveness over hatred, and innovation over conformity. But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. 4 AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. 5 In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. A．It’s gaining popularity. B．Besides, it is deeply practical. C．We are considerate while AI is creative. D．We seek meaning while AI follows instructions. E．It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts. F．Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions.

A high IQ is necessary but not enough. For example, people prefer doing business with those they like and trust, even with less favorable terms. 1 Emotional Intelligence EQ centers on recognizing and regulating emotions — both your own and others’, using them appropriately in situations, and building strong relationships. 2 This practice sharpens self-awareness of how thoughts influence feelings. Stress can be a huge killer of emotional intelligence, so you also need to develop healthy coping techniques that can effectively and quickly reduce stress. Moral Intelligence MQ builds on EQ, focusing on responsibility, sympathy, and forgiveness. It grows on keeping commitments, staying honest, and treating others with respect. To improve it, replace excuses with responsibility for your actions. 3 Show genuine sympathy for others’ struggles, as empathy promotes connection. Equally important is forgiveness — showing tolerance of other people’s shortcomings. Body Intelligence BQ reflects how well you understand, value, and care for your body. Though it may seem unrelated to work, it absolutely affects your work because it largely determines your feelings, state of mind, and energy level. 4 Choosing energy-giving foods over tiring ones, ensuring sufficient rest, making time for exercise, and even small steps like monitoring weight can dramatically benefit the way you perform at work. 5 Someone with these qualities can outperform a highly educated person lacking them. IQ benefits you alone, but EQ, MQ, and BQ uplift those around you, unlocking greater success and professional respect. A．This can build others’ trust in you. B．This leads to repeated mistakes in your act. C．Without it, even daily tasks can feel unmanageable. D．Developing it means noticing daily signs and acting on them. E．Formal education matters less than developed EQ, MQ, and BQ. F．To improve it, start by tracking your inner dialogue through journaling. G．Thus, investing in EQ, MQ, and BQ matters more than just fixing on IQ. 3.（2026·湖南省永州市高三一模） The 20-5-3 Rule You don’t need extreme diets or very tiring workout routines to boost your well-being. Enter the “20-5-3 rule” — research-backed formula (方案) to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. Developed by neuroscientist Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University, 1 Twenty minutes, three times a week The first step is to get out in nature for 20 minutes at least three times a week. Research from the University of Michigan shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. 2 Just sit or walk in a natural setting, exposed to sunlight and greenery. However, the lead author emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. Avoid “aerobic exercise, and avoid the use of social media, internet, phone calls, conversations and reading,” she said. Think of it as a mini escape, designed to reset your stress levels and help you feel grounded. Five hours a month For an even deeper mental reset, aim for five hours a month in semi-wild spaces, such as state parks. 3 Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their organic “chaos”, help increase cognitive resources and foster sense of calm. Three days annually Immerse yourself in nature for three days annually. Long-time exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to meditation, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. 4 A four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) symptoms by 29% and stress by 21%, with effects lingering for weeks afterward. So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset”, head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. 5 A．Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out. B．it is quite energy-consuming yet rewarding as well. C．Studies even show profound benefits for mental health. D．More importantly, we can broaden our horizons and keep fit. E．Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door. F．this method emphasizes small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards. G．Studies show these environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks. 4.（2026·江西省等多省高三上学期8月百万大联考） What You Can Learn from Exam Papers Exam papers are not just tools for assessment. 1 . By analyzing and understanding exam papers, you can gain insights that go beyond the grades you receive. Here are some key lessons you can learn from exam papers. 2 Exam papers provide a clear picture of your performance in different areas. By reviewing your answers and the corresponding scores, you can identify which topics or skills you excel in and which ones need improvement. For example, if you consistently score well in multiple-choice questions but struggle with essay questions, it indicates that you might need to work on your writing skills or ability to synthesize information. Improve time management One of the most important skills you can develop from exam papers is effective time management. By analyzing how you allocate time during an exam, you can identify areas where you might be spending too much or too little time. For instance, if you find that you often run out of time before completing the exam, it suggests that you need to practice pacing yourself better. 3 . Enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills Exam papers often require you to apply your knowledge in new and different ways. By working through past exam questions, you can practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 4 . The skill is essential not only for academic success but also for success in your future career and personal life. Develop a growth mindset Reviewing exam papers can be a powerful way to develop a growth mindset.

There’s so much more to it than simply emptying drawers and choosing a few things to throw away. In this article, we will focus on several things that might be difficult to part with and how you can finally let go of them. Old schoolwork, notebooks, and random paper items I used to save all my old schoolwork and notes until a basement flood washed them away. At first, shock kicked in, then sadness. 3 I never opened them after graduation. Lesson learned. I didn’t need them but was attached to them instead. This was a great lesson in emotional decluttering. 4 It’s best to store them on your phone or computer to free yourself of the clutter. Your book collection Nowadays, we all tend to purchase digital books that are far easier to store and catalog. But if you were like me and had several bookshelves filled with books, you can declutter them. Sort them into two piles, keep and donate. Of course, keep anything that has meaning to you and donate your books to your neighborhood HOA or local library. 5 Plus, creating your new digital library is fun and exciting. It will also allow you to choose from some audiobooks if you never tried them. A．But that flood did me a favor. B．That flood caused great damage to the community. C．Unfortunately, most people think decluttering is easy. D．At the same time, remember to buy only classic books. E．So, if you have such things, you can scan or take pictures of them. F．Of course, that doesn’t mean getting rid of everything in your home. G．Either way, you can develop a sense of freedom by unloading your book collection. 6.（2026·安徽省六校教育研究会高三上学期9月月考） Bossy, dominant, controlling—have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 1 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. 2 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 3 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial— they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 4 Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 5 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A．This can be a form of abuse. B．Control has clear positive applications. C．Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D．The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E．In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F．Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G．If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 7.（2026·全国九五高中协作体高三上学期开学质量检测） The most important element of emotional maturity is taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions. It means neither blaming yourself for what you cannot control nor losing emotional balance. 1 Here are some practical ways to develop emotional maturity in daily life. Admit mistakes when you are wrong. Emotionally mature people do not blame others for their own mistakes. They are responsible for their actions, learn from mistakes, and accept feedback objectively. 2 Often, they will just admit it, apologize, and struggle to improve themselves. 3 Emotionally mature people understand their emotional needs. It is important to take care of others’ feelings but it does not mean they should totally abandon their own feelings. The key is to stay balanced and to attend to their own emotional needs when it is necessary. If a person does not respect his own feelings, it is easy for him to be influenced by others and become miserable. Don’t play victim. 4 Whenever they get setbacks（挫折）in life, they view it as their own responsibility to improve themselves. They trust that every challenge exists to strengthen them whatever happens in life. Define and set boundaries. Emotionally mature people understand their standpoint. They know what they want in life and they also make a conscious decision on the things that they do not want. When things beyond their boundaries happen, they can detect them right away, deal with it accordingly and won’t let it destroy their self-esteem. 5 A．Don’t get upset so easily. B．Respect your own feelings and needs. C．Hence, they do not respond by attacking back. D．This gives them huge power over emotional control. E．Assume responsibility only for what lies within your control. F．People with low emotional maturity are very easy to be identified. G．Emotionally mature people take full responsibility for their own lives. 8.（2026·安徽省江淮十校高三上学期8月第一次联考） Successful team collaboration is essential for achieving complex goals. It involves more than just working alongside others; it requires intentional strategies to use collective strengths. Then how can a team collaborate effectively? 1 Every team member needs a shared understanding of the project’s objectives and their specific responsibilities. This prevents misunderstandings and ensures accountability. Ambiguity in roles often leads to repeated efforts, overlooked tasks, and frustration. Clearly outlining expectations from the outset sets the stage for productive work. Foster open and respectful communication. Create an environment where team members feel safe to share ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns without fear of judgment. 2 Actively listening to understand different viewpoints, rather than just waiting to speak, is crucial for building trust and finding the best solutions. Address conflicts constructively. 3 New conflicts as opportunities to explore different perspectives and improve outcomes. The goal should be to understand the root cause and find a mutually acceptable resolution. Focusing on the issue at hand, not personal attacks, and seeking common ground helps the team move forward positively. Make the most of diverse strengths. Recognize that each member brings unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table. 4 Assigning tasks based on individual strengths not only improves efficiency but also increases engagement and satisfaction. Establish regular check-ins and feedback loops. Don’t wait until the project deadline to assess progress. Schedule frequent, brief meetings to discuss updates, roadblocks, and next steps. Constructive feedback, both on the work and the process, should be encouraged. 5 A．Define clear goals and roles. B．Encourage brainstorming sessions. C．Effective communication is the cornerstone of any strong team dynamic. D．A team that communicates poorly will inevitably struggle with coordination. E．Disagreements are unavoidable in teamwork, but they don’t have to be destructive. F．Intentionally discuss and map out these differences to maximize the team’s potential. G．This allows the team to adapt quickly and ensure everyone remains aligned with the overall goal. 9.（2026·四川省成都市蓉城名校联盟高三上学期开学联考） How to Transform Yourself for the New Year Whatever the transformation you’re aiming for, determination, devotion, and hard work will help you set and achieve it. You can define your goals and create an action plan for yourself. 1 . Set goals Think about what you want to transform in a broad sense. This will help you define what you want and why you want it. Once you have your overall transformation in mind, break it down into a set of more manageable goals. Getting started with a goal is the hardest part. 2 . It will make them feel more manageable. For example, if your goal is to get in shape, the first step could be to get running shoes or join a gym. Research resources, set dates, and schedule yourself in advance to make sure you have regular time devoted to your goals. Work towards your transformation Ask yourself what you need to start working towards your goal and get the items as soon as you can. Don’t weigh yourself down by trying to change everything at once. Instead, start with your first, most manageable goal and get into a steady routine before adding more into the mix. 3 . Going through them with someone you trust can give you strength and motivation. He or she may also be able to help find creative solutions. 4 You’re more likely to keep going when you can see how far you have come. Try writing down your progress in a journal, or using a visual tool such as a chart or drawing to show your progress. To generate some publicity for yourself is another way to stay on track. You can talk to those close to you about what you have already accomplished, and what you still want to do. 5 . A．Keep yourself motivated B．Generate publicity for yourself C．As a result, you may tend to abandon your goals D．You could even start a blog or website to share your journey E．You’ll likely hit a few challenging moments in pursuit of your goals F．By doing so, you may be able to transform your life in the new year G．Therefore, you’d better make your goals as small as you need them to be 10.（2026·宁夏银川一中高三上学期第一次月考） Street art, usually referred to as “public art”, is defined as art on outer surfaces done with permission by the community. 1 . The art form has evolved over the decades from a grass-roots project to mainstream popularity. 2 . They were established in public areas to honor religious and political leaders.

Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared by both the little ones and adults? 36 You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with helping others, but there are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole family. ●You’ll feel like you have more time. People often feel they are too busy to volunteer. Yet, research has found that giving your time to community causes actually makes you feel like you have more of it. 37 ●You can live longer if you volunteer regularly. 38 Washington University found that adults 55 and older who volunteered had better memory and maintained overall health longer than others their age. Volunteers are also more likely to look after their own health and are more focused on adding physical activity into their lives. ● 39 Volunteering during teenage years has been linked to some major positive effects such as improved grades and increased self-confidence. These effects aren’t just short-term but have been proved to affect a teen’s well-being in the years to come. ●You’ll have more time with family.

Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 37 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 38 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 39 If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 40       Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A．Be patient. B．Get the audience involved. C．The best messages are often simple. D．Speak directly to what matters to them. E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 3.【2025北京卷】What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle. As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. ____35____ But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. ____36____ If these life cycles are delayed, interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings, and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world. Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions, manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. ____37____ You’re self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are within all this. So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. ____38____ We are a social species, so this is important. While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. ____39____ A. It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles. B. They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work. C. It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others. D. In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you. E. They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity. F. You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music. G. When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity. 4.【2024新课标Ⅰ卷】Not all great writers are great spellers. If you want to be published, it's vital to submit a perfect, professionally presented manuscript (原稿). ____36____ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close-by on my desk: dictionary and thesaurus (同义词词典). I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. ____37____ Of course, these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses, but I'm old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers. I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. ____38____ It should give you a precise definition of each word, thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar, but not identical. It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition, I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence. Of course, with its 2,672 pages, it's not exactly short. It contains around 163,000 words, plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. ____39____ However, if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage, there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755. "To make dictionaries is dull (乏味) work," wrote Johnson, illustrating one definition of "dull". ____40____ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A. I don't often use this dictionary. B. It takes no account of the context. C. But I still don't want to replace them. D. But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E. Of course, a dictionary is not only for spelling. F. That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G. Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. 5.【2024新课标ⅠⅠ卷】Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___ ●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights? ● ___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower. Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸).

So, should we stop traveling? C. Travel for you and no one else. D. Can overtourism be avoided then? E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places. F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it. G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting. 6.【2024全国甲卷】What is moderation (适度)? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. ____16____ But it doesn't mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. Take your time. It's important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. ____17____ It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. Eat with others whenever possible. Eating alone, “specially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. And be careful about the foods you keep at hand. It's more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks at the ready, like cookies. ____18____ Control emotional (情绪的) eating. ____19____ Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings. ____20____ A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢), while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day.

According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the fox knows a lot of things. Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. ___35___ And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out what they are good at. ___36___ The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies. ___37___ Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their predictions. The advantage that. foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. ___38___ They try to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer estimation of what they know and don’t know. So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. ___39___ The choice between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog. A. In other words, there are clear advantages for each. B. They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes. C. Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence. D. But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing. E. However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs. F. When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional. G. They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position. 8.【2024浙江1月卷】In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ___16___ But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? ___17___ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. ___18___ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman.

The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. ___19___ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. ___20___ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track.

To err (犯错) is human. ____16____ You can use the following writing exercise to help you do this. In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal strengths.” ____17____ Are you caring? Creative? Generous? A good listener? Fun to be around? They don’t have to be world-changing, just aspects of your personality that you’re proud of. At the top of a second page, put the heading “Acts of kindness.” On this one, list all the positive things you’ve done for others. It might be the time when you helped a friend with their homework, when you did the ironing without being asked, or when you baked cookies after the family had had a tiring day. ____18____ You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list. ____19____ That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through. In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time. It’s something of a cliché (陈词滥调) that most people learn not from their successes but their mistakes. The thing is, it’s true. ____20____ We’ re all changing and learning all the time and mistakes are a positive way to develop and grow. A. A little self-forgiveness also goes a long way. B.

What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive. What are indoor plants? Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. ____17____. Why are indoor plants good for you? Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “____18____. I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. ____19____. Which plants can you grow? Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature — which is part of the joy of owning plants. “____20____,” Spoelstra says. “It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to make the link between home and nature.” A. All plants are different B. Not only do they look beautiful C. There are many benefits to growing plants indoors D. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer E. Plants like peace lilies and devil’s tongue are among the best F. Changing the pot of your plant from time to time will also help G.

There is one answer. ___16___. In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks. ●Practice gratitude (感激) Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. ___17___. “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. ● Make yourself wait Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. ___18___. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You’ll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations. ● ___19___. So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances.

Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. ____35____ When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. ____36____ Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. ____37____ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. ____38____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result？ Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. $ 考点6 阅读7选5—说明文 温馨提示： 本资料注重培优，集中强化重点，突破难度，规避易混易错点，练习全部是26年新模拟题 1. 高考真题考点分布 年份 卷别

【命题规律】 1．从命题内容上看，高考命题主要从以下几方面考查：话题与当代社会生活紧密相关、人文气息浓厚，引导学生关爱自我、关爱社会、热爱生活。 2．从命题思路上看：体裁以说明文、记叙文为主。题型以段中句为主，段首句和段尾句为辅。 语篇模式也较为固定：依次是提出问题、分析问题、最后是提供解决方案；主要考查考生的做题技能和整体阅读判断能力，注重考查文章的结构。 【备考策略】 1.掌握说明文的结构特点和命题形式。 2.掌握说明文阅读填空的解题思路和技巧。 【命题预测】 预计2026年说明文考查的可能性最大。复习过程中要熟练掌握说明文的命题特点和解题方法，做到成功应对说明文阅读填空。 【必备基础知识】 一、【语篇特点】 分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读“七选五”解题的关键，英语的语篇（Text）通常是由句子（Sentence）和语段（Sentence group）构成的，语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次，句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想，但是它不能表达多方面比较复杂的思想，只有把几个句子结合为较大的言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓“积句成章，积章成篇”就是这个道理。 分析文章的层次包含两种形式：一种是分析整篇文章的层次，也就是段落（Paragraph）；另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次，也就是语篇层次。 语篇与段落是有区别的，语段是篇章结构的中间层次，是由句子到语篇的一种过渡形式，段落是在某些语体（如记叙文、议论文等）中比语段更大的意义单位，较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子，一般来说，一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种，一是靠句际间意义的结合，二是靠句际间的关联词，逻辑性插入语来连接，在分析语段层次时，可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断，但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系，把握作者的思路，从语序上去发现断续点，理清层次，好文章的层次非常清晰，只有层层入手，才能真正理解文章。 二、【解题策略】 1、从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的逻辑关系来进一步确认答案。 因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result（结果），thus / therefore（因此），so (such) ... that ...（如此 ...... 以至于 ......）等。 2、从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系 转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。 表示转折关系的连词有：However（然而），nevertheless（仍然；然而；不过）， nonetheless（尽管如此；依然；然而），still（还；然而），though（可是；不过；然而），yet（然而），in spite of（不顾；不管），at any rate（无论如何；至少），in any case（无论如何；不管怎样），whoever（无论是谁），whatever（无论什么），on the contrary（正相反），in contrast（与此相反；相比之下），by contrast（相反；相比之下），in comparison（比较起来；比较地），by comparison（相比之下），conversely（相反地），otherwise（否则；除此以外），not ... but ...（不是 ...... 而是 ......），as well（也）等。 3、从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系 前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。 4、从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系 递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。 表示递进关系的连词有：also（也；而且），further（另外），furthermore（而且；此外），likewise（同样地；类似地；也；又），similarly（相似地；类似地），moreover（而且；再者；此外），in addition（另外；加之），what’s more（而且；更重要的是），too（也；还），either（也），neither（两者都不），not only … but also …（不但 …… 而且 ……）等。 5、从细节逻辑上判断——列举关系 表示列举关系的有：first（首先；第一），second（第二），third（第三）……；firstly（第一；首先），secondly（第二；其次），thirdly（第三）……；first（第一），next（其次），then（那么；然后）……；in the first place（第一；首先），in the second place（第二；其次）……；for one thing（首先；一则），for another thing（其次）……；to begin with（首先；第一），to conclude（最后）等。 6、从词汇线索上判断——指代关系 英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。 7、从词汇线索上判断——同义关系 英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。利用前后句中这种特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。 8、从试题位置上判断——问题在段首 假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。另外着重阅读后文第一、二句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空格后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种衔接手段，尤其是当选项是几句话时。 9、从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾 所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。 总之，分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折或对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立或对比关系。如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词（如转折词）引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。 考点一 阅读7选5中的微观技巧 1.利用词汇关系解题 词汇复现法是为了保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即在文章中对同一个概念进行重复描述，从而使得同样的意思在文章中不同位置反复出现。在做题时考生要注意选项中出现的与正文意思相同、相近或相反的词汇。 词汇复现：原词复现、同义词或近义词复现、反义词复现、同源词复现。 识别词汇复现的方法：1.着重阅读空前、空后两句，锁定关键词，在选项中查找关键词。2.正确选项中的关键词一般重复前一句中的关键词，且与下一句的关键词呼应。 2.利用一致关系解题 一致性原则包括：①句式一致：如果文章有小标题，其句式往往统一，多为祈使句或名词短语。通过观察前后段落的小标题句式，可以确定设空处的正确选项。若无小标题，可依据前后段的句首句式，利用句式一致原则进行判断。同样，段中句也可通过上下句式结构的一致性来判断正确答案。 ②指代一致：句子中的代词与上下文的名词之间存在一致的指代关系。通过仔细分析空白处前后的名词，可以明确这种指代关系，从而确定正确选项。 ③问答一致：在解答7选5题目时，如果选项或文章中出现了疑问句，我们可以通过下文的答语来确定上文的问句内容，反之亦然。 ④主从句一致：在考查含状语从句的复合句时，如果空在前，则空白后部分以小写字母开头。找到备选项中不能独立成句的选项，再根据主从句一致原则确定正确答案。 3.常见逻辑关系及解题方法 ①并列关系 表现形式：and, also, as well as, besides, in addition, moreover, furthermore, either...or..., neither...nor..., not only...but also... 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是并列关系，那么可以从选项中找出与前后内容相关的并列项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “reading books”，后一句提到了 “watching movies”，那么空白处可以填入 “listening to music” 等与阅读和看电影并列的活动。 ②转折关系 表现形式：but, however, yet, on the contrary, in contrast, while, whereas 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是转折关系，那么可以从选项中找出与前后内容相反的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “it is easy to learn English”，后一句提到了 “it is difficult to master English”，那么空白处可以填入 “However, learning English requires patience and perseverance.” 等表示转折的句子。 ③因果关系 表现形式：because, since, as, for, due to, thanks to, so, therefore, thus, as a result, consequently 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是因果关系，那么可以从选项中找出表示原因或结果的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “he studied hard”，后一句提到了 “he got good grades”，那么空白处可以填入 “As a result, he got good grades.” 等表示结果的句子。 ④递进关系 表现形式：besides, in addition, moreover, furthermore, what's more, not only...but also... 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是递进关系，那么可以从选项中找出表示更进一步的选项。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “he is good at math”，后一句提到了 “he is also excellent in physics”，那么空白处可以填入 “Moreover, he is interested in chemistry.” 等表示递进的句子。 ⑤举例关系 表现形式：for example, for instance, such as, like, namely 等。 解题方法：如果空白处前后的内容是举例关系，那么可以从选项中找出具体的例子。例如，如果空白处前一句提到了 “there are many kinds of sports”，后一句提到了 “such as basketball, football and tennis”，那么空白处可以填入 “For example, swimming and running are also popular sports.” 等表示举例的句子。 1. 原词复现(2022新课标卷第39题) notice My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39 A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 【答案】 G 【解析】根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码。)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选择项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 2.同义词复现 (2023全国乙卷第36题) little=small Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. While all of them are useful, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there’re really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. 38 . They’re the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. … A. While all of them are useful B. Whatever you’re looking for C. If you’re experimenting with a color D. Small color choices are the ones we’re most familiar with E. It’s not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F. So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G. Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 【答案】D 【解析】解此题可运用词汇复现法，该空后面的They're the little spots of color和D选项Small color choice是同义词复现，所在段最后一句中的“small color choices”是D项“Small color choices”的原词复现。上一段结尾提到三种选择: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones。接下来分别一一介绍。且该段中作者提到小物品如小靠垫、镜子、篮子等的颜色可以给房间带来视觉上的乐趣，以及其他好处。由此可知，本段介绍的是small color choices。故答案是D。 3.反义词复现（2020全国II卷第39题）friendlier和unfriendly While the younger generations prefer to communicate visually, for those used to working with traditional tools like email, it may feel like a learning curve（曲线）. The good news is that it’s simple to learn and can be worth the effort. There is also the matter of tone（语气）. Who hasn’t received an email so annoying that it ruined an entire day? 39 . Emoji can help communication feel friendlier, and even a serious note can be softened with an encouraging smile. A. Message with emojis feel more conversational B.

Now list all the characteristics you like about yourself. C. They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise. D. It’s just as important to show yourself some forgiveness. E. It doesn’t mean you have to ignore what’s happened or forget it. F. Whatever it is, no matter how small it might seem, write it down. G. Whatever the mistake, remember it isn’t a fixed aspect of your personality. 【解析】39.根据空后内容“That way, you could exchange thoughts on what makes each of you special and the aspects of your personality that shine through.(这样，你们就可以交换意见，谈谈是什么让你们每个人都与众不同，以及你们个性中闪光的方面。)”可知，空处提到了某种方式，这种方式会使得你和朋友们一起交换意见等。选项C“They might even like to have a go at doing the exercise.(他们甚至可能想试一试做练习。)”符合语境，C项中的“they”与空前的“You could ask a friend or family member to help add to your list.(你可以让朋友或家人帮你增加你的列表内容。)”中的“a friend or family member”保持一致，同时选项C和下文“In fact, don’t wait until you’ve made a mistake to try this—it’s a great way to boost self-confidence at any time.(事实上，不要等到你犯了错误才去尝试这个——这是一个在任何时候都能增强自信的好方法。)”中的“this”一致。故选C。 5.句式一致（2016高考II卷） A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 　16　. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process. ● 　17　 Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 　18　.However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years. ●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 　19　 — how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 　20　. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun. A. Know why you garden B. Find a good place for your own garden C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have 【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何种植一个正好适合你的花园。 16.F考查上下文的衔接。根据文章首句及下文的But it doesn’t happen by accident.可知，这里讲了“你是否曾去过一个花园……但是它不是偶然发生的。”故F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too符合语境。 17.A考查小标题。根据下文的a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. 可知，本段主题与你想要种植花园的原因有关，再加上句式特征祈使句。故选A。18. E考查上下文的衔接。根据上文的"Some people may think..."和"Others are concerned about..."可知此处表达的是人们种植花园的不同原因,而E项中的"Still others may simply enjoy..."与上下文衔接自然, 故选E项。19. C考查上下文的衔接。根据上文的"...but that’s not what’s important"和下文中的"how being in those gardens made us feel"可知此处讲的应是什么是重要的,故C项符合语境。20. G考查上下文的衔接。上文的"the gardens of your youth"以及下文的"your childhood memories"与G项中的"those gardens"和"the strongest memory you have"相呼应,故选G项。 6.转折关系 （2022全国乙卷） ·Don’t rely on technology alone 40 , but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.

It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media G. You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind 【解析】40. F。设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”（但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系。）讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊，其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折，而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结，与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折，而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”（不要仅仅依赖技术）中的“technology”。故选F。 7.因果关系 （2020新高考卷） Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 38 A. Do the opposite. B.Y ou want to be an effective public speaker. C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip. D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more. E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be. 【解析】38. C。根据上文中的“So，don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.”可知，当你犯错时不要停止演讲，除非是非常严重的错误。据此可以推知，空处承接上文，说明犯小错误无需道歉，故C项正确。 8.递进关系 （2023全国甲卷） ●Practice gratitude (感激) Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 37 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California. A. Find your causes B. Start with small tasks C. Accept the uncomfortable D. All this adds up to a state of hurry E. It can also help us practice more patience F.

Embrace where you are in life’s journey. If you want to live life to the fullest, start by loving yourself for exactly who you are. 2 You’ve all got a path and things to work out, and it’s just accepting what happened rather than potentially judging it. 3 Your comfort zone is just the routine parts of your daily life that are familiar to you.

When you always act honestly and sincerely in service to your core values, you’re consistent and people know they can rely on you. 4 Keep yourself as fit and healthy as possible. It’s true that many aspects of your overall health are out of your control. 5 Keeping your body healthy ensures that you have the energy you need to live your life to the fullest.

Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 37 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 38 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 39 If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 40       Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A．Be patient. B．Get the audience involved. C．The best messages are often simple. D．Speak directly to what matters to them. E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 【思维过程】 ●39空为小标题句，观察其他小标题句的特征，它们都是祈使句。 ●选项定位7个选项中有3个是祈使句ABD→看小标题下面的内容→①contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others（贡献自己的想法，或在向他人解释新概念和政策方面发挥作用）②Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills让他们主持讨论和会议，以发展他们的沟通技巧→B．Get the audience involved. ●故选B 39.【答案】B 【解析】本题考查小标题，根据后文“Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.

Conducting a simple time audit (审计) helps you find these hidden black holes in your schedule, which might be taking precious moments away from more critical tasks. You need to write down what you’re doing at regular intervals (间隙) in the day for about a week or two. 3 Determining what tasks are most important and need to be done first ensures that your time and energy are focused on the right things. 4 Once you have a clear vision of what you’re aiming for, it becomes easier to determine which tasks fit with those goals. It’s also important to consider deadlines and the impact each task will have on your overall productivity to make sure that you’re spending your precious time on tasks that truly matter and will bring you closer to reaching your objectives. Use a planning tool. 5 By using a task manager or planner, you can easily track your goals, set deadlines, and break down tasks into smaller steps.

Faced with such an important decision, what should a college student do? 1 However, rest assured that you can use the following strategies to select the right major and sustain your motivation when the going gets tough. Creating a career plan is one of the ways that students can boost their chances of success in their chosen majors. When making the plan, you should reflect on your beliefs about work, your interest in various academic subjects and your abilities. 2 Then, identify a specific career and outline the steps that you will have to take that will help prepare you for that career. It is also important to do your research about the job that you are interested in pursuing, as well as any related jobs. Some college students drop out of their selected majors because they have become bored with the academic area they have chosen. 3 To avoid these sorts of outcomes, ask yourself which aspects of the job you could see yourself enjoying, as well as the parts of the job that you think you might dislike. It will save you a good deal of time and energy by initially choosing a major that is in line with your interests and abilities. 4 It may come as a surprise when you are presented with difficult material during your first term at college. Students who were at the top of their class may be particularly shocked when they receive their first low grade on an exam. You should not assume, however, that you have made the wrong choice of academic major simply because you performed poorly on one test. 5 With the right mindset and strategies, you can turn your major into a fulfilling path toward your future career. A．It's easy to give in to fear, hesitation, or worry. B．Even with thorough preparation, you would still face challenges. C．Actually, for some college students, this decision is easy to make. D．Use your reflections to guide you as you search for desirable careers. E．Hold on to the confidence that guided you to select your major in the first place. F．Or they may find themselves more attracted to a different academic major altogether.

So what is underneath our productivity problems? 2 Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how? 3 That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness. Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment. 4 Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue. Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox. 5 A．ignore our emotions. B．Awareness is the first step. C．Identify what causes the mess. D．We are not machines but emotional beings. E．But the idea of being a machine is actually a trap. F．One day, we’ll find that we’ve finished handling all in it. G．Sometimes, working like a machine is effective and useful. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．F 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出“把自己当机器能提升效率”是误区，效率问题根源在于忽视情绪，提出通过“察觉情绪、客观观察、处理情绪”三步，借助情绪助力日常效率提升。 1．根据上文“Sometimes we may wonder if we were a machine, we’d never let things fall through the cracks, and we wouldn’t forget things.(有时我们会想，如果我们是机器的话，就不会让任何事情遗漏掉，也不会忘记任何事情)”以及后文“It gets in the way of our productivity because it makes us blind to the roots of our actual problems.(这会妨碍我们的工作效率，因为它使我们无法看清实际问题的根源)”可知，前文提出“若我们是机器，就不会遗漏、忘记事情”的想法，后文转折指出“这会阻碍效率，让我们忽视实际问题根源”。本句承接前文“机器”的假设，同时引出后文的负面效果，故E选项“但把自己当成机器的想法实际上是一个陷阱”符合语境，故选E。 2．根据上文“So what is underneath our productivity problems?(那么，造成我们生产力低下的根本原因是什么呢？)”以及后文“Our productivity depends on our feelings, not new tools. Understanding how our feelings affect us can open up freedom to make progress and finally improve our productivity. So how?(我们的工作效率取决于我们的感受，而非新的工具。了解我们的感受如何影响我们，能够让我们获得自由，从而推动进步并最终提高我们的工作效率。那么，这是怎么回事呢？)”可知，问题询问生产力问题的根源，后文强调情感而非工具的作用。故D选项“我们并非机器，而是充满情感的生命体”点明核心原因，符合语境，故选D。 3．根据后文“That means recognizing and working with our emotions. But usually no matter what the issue is, we easily ignore it and hope that it goes away rather than to admit something is wrong. What we forget is that our emotions have great impacts on our actions. The most productive people need to have regular practices to maintain that awareness.(这意味着要正视并处理我们的情绪。但通常情况下，无论问题是什么，我们都会轻易地忽视它，希望它自行消失，而不是承认存在问题。我们所忽略的是，我们的情绪会对我们的行为产生重大影响。最高效的人需要有规律地进行练习来保持这种意识)”可知，后文提到“这意味着识别并处理情绪”“高效的人需要定期练习以保持这种意识”，“this”指代前文的“第一步”。本句作为段落主旨，引出“识别情绪” 的具体做法，符合“如何通过情绪提升效率”的行文逻辑。故B选项“意识是第一步”符合语境，故选B。 4．根据上文“Once we are aware of the problem, the next step is observing. Though difficult, observing without judgment counts most. For example, when our inbox (收件箱) is messy, we just see it with little judgment.(一旦我们意识到问题所在，接下来的步骤就是观察。尽管这很困难，但不带评判地进行观察最为重要。例如，当我们的收件箱杂乱无章时，我们只是几乎不加评判地观察它)”以及后文“Avoid feeling anxious, as it prevents us from addressing the root issue.(避免产生焦虑情绪，因为这种情绪会妨碍我们解决根本问题)”可知，前文举例“收件箱混乱时，不带评判地观察”，后文强调“避免焦虑，以免忽视根源”。本句承接“观察混乱”的动作，指向“解决根源”的下一步，与“不焦虑、抓根源”的建议呼应，故C选项“找出造成混乱的原因”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据上文“Finally, try to address our emotions. It is the most effective way to help us be productive daily. A one-touch email strategy or checking the email twice a day may do a bit, but none of these really solve the problem completely. Actually we are able to use our own desire that we can’t let people down to help us get through our inbox.(最后，试着去处理我们的情绪。这是帮助我们每天保持高效工作的最有效方法。一键式邮件策略或每天查看两次邮件可能会有一点效果，但这些都不能完全解决问题。实际上，我们可以通过自己不想让他人失望的这种内在动力来帮助自己处理好收件箱里的邮件)”可知，前文提到“利用‘不想让别人失望’的意愿来处理收件箱”，本句是对这一方法效果的正面预期，承接前文 “解决情绪问题以提升效率” 的核心，故F选项“有一天，我们会发现我们已经处理完了其中的一切”符合语境，故选F。 考点四 考查段尾句 段尾句通常具有，应当注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信息词。有时，段尾句和段首句呈现出首尾呼应的现象，也是检查选项的一个重要参考。 如何应对段尾句考查 1．细节句：①与上文是转折或对比关系；②与上文是并列或递进关系。 2．总结句：用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语，如therefore、 as a result、 thus、 to sum up、 to conclude、 in a word等。 3．段落过渡句：此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。 段尾设空的题多为总结本段内容，偶有起承上启下的作用。即要么是结论句，要么就是承上启下句。 题型和考查角度： ①结论句：用于总结本段内容，常含有总结性的词语。 ②承上启下句：此空处的答案能够将上段和下段的内容连贯起来。 ③细节句：空前一句或两句是重点语句，应该重点阅读；锁定空前重点语句中的高频词汇和体现逻辑关系的关联词；寻找选项中是否有表逻辑关系的关联词；寻找选项中是否有与上文相同或相似的句式结构。 ④过渡句：瞻前顾后找线索；阅读上一段的结尾，结合下一段的开头，留意衔接词和关键词；注意所选答案是否衔接上下段内容；阅读空前段落内容，抓住主旨，总结空前的内容，并利用词汇复现等技巧选出正确答案。 (2024新课标II卷第37题) ●Choose mindfully.

A person full of anger might commit a crime of passion. A man in love may do things that compromise his well-being. Surely, this is evidence against emotion’s rationality (理性). 1 Emotions are not only compatible (相容的) with rationality, they can also help us make better choices. Baba Shiv, professor of marketing at Stanford University, writes that “if emotions were irrelevant, we would have evolved very differently”. Since we have emotions, we must wonder why and how they help us, instead of trying to eliminate them. 2 The truth is that emotions and reason are not in conflict. Emotions are rational. They involve judgements. For example, being angry involves judging that a wrongdoing has occurred. That is a rational activity. Emotions also contribute to our understanding. 3 But emotions also give us a reason to act. Fear, for example, gives us a reason to escape a situation. Anticipation of regret provides a reason to avoid excessive risk-taking. Emotions can also help with decision-making. According to Shiv, the emotional brain makes lightning-fast assessments based on past experiences, perceptions of the situation, and other factors that support our instincts. This enables efficient choices. 4 Can we do anything to prevent our emotions from negatively impacting our decision-making: Seo believes so, suggesting ways to reduce the unwanted effects of emotions on our decision-making. For example, if sadness makes us make poor decisions with our money by being reckless (鲁莽的) about spending, we might replace it with gratitude. This feeling might help us make a better, more moderate decision. Humans have reason and emotions. 5 It also prevents us from using our emotions to help us make better decisions. Fortunately, we can choose differently. A．Nevertheless, any situation can still go wrong. B．But this line of thinking couldn’t be more wrong. C．Discounting one for the sake of the other denies our humanity. D．One answer is that emotions aid in rationality and decision-making. E．For example, emotions can change decisions by generating reactions in others. F．They motivate us to inquire about our own beliefs and help us to perceive the world differently. G．It’s why we should warn people about emotions, tell them to calm down before making decisions. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．C 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章先反驳“情绪干扰决策、缺乏理性”的观点，指出情绪与理性相容且助决策，还引学者观点说明其作用，提及应对情绪负面影响的方法，强调不应否定情绪或理性。 1．根据上文“Emotions interfere with our decision-making, or at least that is the thinking: emotional people seem to do irrational things. A person full of anger might commit a crime of passion. A man in love may do things that compromise his well-being. Surely, this is evidence against emotion’s rationality (理性). (情绪会干扰我们的决策过程，至少这是人们的一种看法：情绪化的人往往会做出一些不理智的行为。一个满心愤怒的人可能会因一时冲动而犯罪。一个陷入爱河的人可能会做出损害自身利益的事情。显然，这证明了情绪并非完全具有理性)”以及下文“Emotions are not only compatible (相容的) with rationality, they can also help us make better choices. (情绪不仅与理性相兼容，而且还能帮助我们做出更明智的选择)”可知，上文提出“情绪干扰决策、缺乏理性”的传统观点，下文转折指出“情绪与理性相容，还能帮我们做更好选择”。本句与上文构成转折，指出这一思维方式的错误。故B选项“但这种思维方式完全错误”承上启下，符合语境，故选B。 2．根据上文“Baba Shiv, professor of marketing at Stanford University, writes that “if emotions were irrelevant, we would have evolved very differently”. Since we have emotions, we must wonder why and how they help us, instead of trying to eliminate them. (斯坦福大学市场营销学教授巴巴·希夫写道：“如果情感无关紧要，那么我们的进化过程将会大不相同。”既然我们拥有情感，我们就应该思考其存在的原因以及它如何帮助我们，而不能一味地试图消除它们)”可知，上文提出“既然人类有情绪，应探究其为何及如何帮助我们”，本句直接回应上文的“为何帮助”，为情绪的作用提供解释。故D选项“一种答案是，情绪有助于理性思考和决策”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据上文“The truth is that emotions and reason are not in conflict. Emotions are rational. They involve judgements. For example, being angry involves judging that a wrongdoing has occurred. That is a rational activity. Emotions also contribute to our understanding. (事实是，情感与理性并非相互冲突。情感是理性的。它们包含着判断。例如，生气就涉及对某种不当行为发生的判断。这是一种理性的行为。情感也有助于我们理解事物)”以及下文“But emotions also give us a reason to act. Fear, for example, gives us a reason to escape a situation. Anticipation of regret provides a reason to avoid excessive risk-taking. (但情绪也促使我们采取行动。例如，恐惧会让我们有理由逃离某种状况。对后悔的预期则会促使我们避免过度冒险)”可知，上文强调“情绪有助于理解”，下文以“但情绪也给我们行动的理由”转折，说明情绪的另一作用。本句承接“有助于理解”，具体阐述情绪对认知理解的作用，故F选项“它们促使我们探究自己的信念，并帮助我们以不同的方式看待世界”直接举例论证情绪对认知的积极作用，与上文形成例证关系，符合语境，故选F。 4．根据下文“Can we do anything to prevent our emotions from negatively impacting our decision-making: Seo believes so, suggesting ways to reduce the unwanted effects of emotions on our decision-making.

(我们能否采取措施来避免情绪对我们的决策产生负面影响呢？塞奥认为可以，他还提出了减少情绪对决策产生不良影响的方法。例如，如果悲伤让我们在花钱方面做出错误的决定，是因为我们在消费时过于冲动，那么我们或许可以用感恩来取代这种情绪。这种感觉可能会帮助我们做出更明智、更适度的决策)”可知，上文论述“情绪能帮助决策”，下文转而提问“如何防止情绪对决策产生负面影响”，体现从“情绪的积极作用”到 “应对情绪消极影响”的过渡。本句引出情绪可能带来的问题，为下文的应对方法做铺垫，故A选项“不过，任何情况仍有可能出错”承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 5．根据上文“Humans have reason and emotions. (人类既有理性，也有情感)”以及下文“It also prevents us from using our emotions to help us make better decisions. Fortunately, we can choose differently. (这还使得我们无法凭借自身的情感来帮助自己做出更明智的决定。幸运的是，我们能够做出不同的选择)”可知，上文指出“人类既有理性也有情绪”，下文“也阻止我们利用情绪帮我们做更好决策” 中的“也”提示上文应提及一种否定情绪或理性的行为。故C选项“因为为了一个而舍弃另一个，就等于否定了我们的人性”直接呼应上下文，符合语境，故选C。 （最新模拟试题演练） 1.（2026届四川省巴中市普通高中2023级“零诊”考试） Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach? Hours with your friends at the park? 1 They spend far more time alone, which often leads to loneliness. According to a study on children’s behaviour change and emotional well-being, loneliness among children is on the rise. But there are ways parents can help. Discover the cause When children feel that no one really “gets” them, this can be described as emotional loneliness. 2 Whether they’re struggling to make friends, feeling excluded, or going through a big change, validating their emotions and understanding the root cause can help support them in the right way. Build their confidence Loneliness, especially when feeling left out, can trigger self-doubt and cause children to question their self-worth. 3 Recognizing what they do well helps rebuild their confidence and reinforces a positive self-image. As their confidence grows, they feel more included and become more willing to engage with others. 4 Obviously, helping children find opportunities to connect with peers is a good way to help them feel less lonely. Connecting with others through joining a club, starting a new hobby or simply spending more quality time together as a family can often help with loneliness. Build a supportive environment Loneliness lowers self-esteem and increases anxiety or sadness. It isn’t something that disappears overnight and can’t just be resolved with one conversation. Regular check-ins, showing interest, and reminding them they’re not alone can make a lasting difference. 5 A．Communicate openly. B．Encourage socializing. C．Children should learn how to handle failure. D．There are many reasons why a child may be lonely. E．However, today’s children won’t have the same memories. F．After all, gentle parenting builds confident and connected individuals. G．It’s vital to remind them of their strengths and celebrate their achievements. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．G 4．B 5．F 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了如今孩子孤独感增加的现象，并针对此现象给出了家长可以帮助孩子缓解孤独感的一些方法。 1．上文“Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach? Hours with your friends at the park? (回想一下你的童年，你还记得什么？在海滩上玩耍的阳光灿烂的日子？和朋友们在公园里度过的时光？)”通过回忆童年美好时光进行提问，E选项“However, today’s children won’t have the same memories.(然而，今天的孩子不会有同样的回忆)”与上文形成转折，指出现在的孩子情况不同，引出下文“They spend far more time alone, which often leads to loneliness.(他们花更多的时间独处，这常常导致孤独)”对现在孩子情况的描述，上下文衔接自然。故选E项。 2．下文“Whether they’re struggling to make friends, feeling excluded, or going through a big change, validating their emotions and understanding the root cause can help support them in the right way.(无论他们是在努力交朋友，感到被排斥，还是正在经历巨大的变化，认可他们的情绪并理解根本原因可以帮助他们以正确的方式得到支持)”列举了孩子感到孤独的多种原因，D选项“There are many reasons why a child may be lonely.(孩子感到孤独的原因有很多)”引起下文。故选D项。 3．上文“Loneliness, especially when feeling left out, can trigger self-doubt and cause children to question their self-worth.(孤独，尤其是当感到被冷落时，会引发自我怀疑，让孩子质疑自己的价值)”指出孤独会让孩子质疑自己的价值，G选项“It’s vital to remind them of their strengths and celebrate their achievements.(务必让他们认识到自身优势，并为他们的成就喝彩)”针对上文问题提出解决办法，即让孩子认识到自身优势，并为他们的成就喝彩，上下衔接自然。故选G项。 4．根据本段内容“Obviously, helping children find opportunities to connect with peers is a good way to help them feel less lonely. Connecting with others through joining a club, starting a new hobby or simply spending more quality time together as a family can often help with loneliness.(显然，帮助孩子找到与同龄人联系的机会是帮助他们减轻孤独感的好方法。通过加入俱乐部、开始一个新的爱好，或者仅仅是作为一家人一起度过更多美好的时光来与他人建立联系，通常可以帮助缓解孤独感)”可知，本段主要讲述鼓励孩子社交以便缓解孤独，B选项“Encourage socializing.(鼓励社交)”概括了本段内容，适合作为本段小标题。故选B项。 5．上文“Loneliness lowers self-esteem and increases anxiety or sadness. It isn’t something that disappears overnight and can’t just be resolved with one conversation. Regular check-ins, showing interest, and reminding them they’re not alone can make a lasting difference.(孤独会降低自尊，增加焦虑或悲伤。它不会在一夜之间消失，也不能通过一次谈话就解决。定期询问，表现出兴趣，提醒他们并不孤单，这些都能产生持久的影响)”指出缓解孩子孤独需要持续的努力，F选项“After all, gentle parenting builds confident and connected individuals.(毕竟，温和的养育方式能培养出自信和善于交际的孩子)”总结上文，说明温和养育方式的作用，与上文内容相呼应。故选F项。 2.（2026·安徽省蚌埠市高三上学期开学考试） Temperatures are rising, and so are mental health risks Climate change is increasing heat waves, posing growing threats to health. Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. 1 Even survivors may face long-term consequences. How does extreme heat affect the brain? 2 Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. The brain, which uses 20% of the body’s energy, requires efficient heat release. In hot, damp conditions, sweating fails to cool the body, potentially causing heat exhaustion or a sudden serious illness, which can lead to nerve-related problems. Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. 3 Furthermore, the medicines used to treat the mental illness and sleeplessness also appear to increase mental health weakness to heat. 4 Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk, as they often lack access to cooling resources. Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. 5 These can include public awareness campaigns, such as warning people about the mental health risk of consuming alcohol or other drugs during heat waves. Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters for heat emergencies and increasing monitoring of mental health patients during heat waves. Only through comprehensive strategies can we reduce the mental health impacts of extreme heat. A．Who is most at risk? B．The human body works best when at 37℃. C．How to identify those in danger during heat waves? D．It disturbs sleep, which further harms one’s ability to think. E．So mental health steps must be added to these heat response plans. F．Heat waves cause 1,300 U. S. deaths yearly from heat-related issues. G．Research is needed to better understand health outcomes of a warmer world. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．E 【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了气温上升与心理健康风险增加之间的关联，阐述了极端高温对大脑及心理健康的影响、易受影响的人群以及应对措施。 1．上文“Extreme heat is becoming a severe challenge across the U.S. and globally, with forecasts suggesting one of the next five years could be the hottest on record. (极端高温正在成为美国乃至全球面临的严峻挑战，预测显示，未来五年中的某一年可能是有记录以来最热的一年)”提及极端高温带来严峻挑战，下文“Even survivors may face long-term consequences. (即使幸存者也可能面临长期后果)”提及幸存者也有长期影响，F项“热浪每年导致美国1300人死于与高温相关的问题”，承接上文极端高温的严重性，引出下文幸存者的情况。故选F。 2．上文“How does extreme heat affect the brain? (极端高温是如何影响大脑的？)”提出极端高温如何影响大脑的问题，下文“Dehydration (脱水) in high temperatures thickens blood, making it hard for the heart to supply enough oxygen to the brain. (高温下脱水会使血液变稠，使心脏难以向大脑提供足够的氧气)”开始解释高温下身体的变化对大脑的影响，B项“人体在 37 度时工作状态最佳”是从人体适宜温度的角度出发，为后文解释高温影响大脑做铺垫。故选B。 3．上文“Extreme heat also worsens mental health: conditions like depression and anxiety become worse. (极端高温还会使心理健康变差：抑郁和焦虑等疾病变得更糟)”说明极端高温会恶化心理健康，D项“它扰乱睡眠，进而进一步损害人的思考能力”是对极端高温影响心理健康的进一步阐述。故选D。 4．下文“Those with existing mental health disorders are weakest. Older adults face accelerated serious mental illness that affects memory. Homeless individuals and outdoor workers such as farmers are particularly at risk... (那些已有心理健康障碍的人是最虚弱的。老年人面临越发严重的精神疾病，影响他们的记忆力。无家可归者和农民等户外工作者的风险尤其大……)”说明了存在心理健康问题的人、老年人、无家可归者和户外工作者等是易受影响的人群，A项“谁最容易受到影响？”能引出下文对高危人群的说明，符合语境。故选A。 5．上文“Action is urgent. Most heat health plans ignore mental health. (行动迫在眉睫。大多数高温健康计划都忽略了心理健康)”指出多数高温健康计划忽视心理健康，下文 “These can include public awareness campaigns... Other interventions include establishing community cooling shelters... (这些措施可以包括提高公众意识的活动……其他干预措施包括建立社区降温避难所……)”介绍了应对措施，E项“所以必须在这些高温应对计划中加入心理健康措施”承接上文计划的不足，引出下文具体措施。故选E。 3.（2026·山西省太原市某校高三上学期9月半月考） If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. However, there are other things you need to think about if you want to be a good sports player. 16 . It’s a common mistake for young athletes to want to jump into the advanced stuff quickly. This isn’t an effective way to spend training time. You need a firm basis before you move on to bigger things. If you’re new to a sport, take as much time as you need to get the basic movements down properly. 17 . Get enough sleep. This one should come as obvious. This is especially true during times of intense practice or training, where things get so busy that it becomes hard to push everything into a regular day. However, your body needs its full rest. 18 . If you’re an adult, get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Set ambitious but realistic goals for yourself. Setting ambitious goals does not mean being unrealistic, or saying you’re going to go professional within a year. 19 , and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal, and break it down into smaller parts if the goal is especially big. Stay focused on the game. You won’t get anywhere if you’re worried about something else happening in your life. Life is always complex, and there may be things in your personal life that are bothering you.

We stress over this forced choice — approval or isolation — as if they can’t mix. 1 Here are three practical ways to find balance in the digital world. Focus on genuine connections. Likes and comments bring short-term excitement, but they fade fast. True connections matter more. When you share real stories or chat deeply with others, you feel warm inside. 2 So pick activities that make you feel truly good, like talking about hobbies or helping friends online — no need to care about likes! 3 Peace on social media starts with how you see it. Mindful scrolling (浏览) means noticing nice things — an inspiring post, a friend’s happy news — without comparing yourself. The colors of a photo or a kind word can make you smile. You don’t need big tricks. 4 Then you’ll enjoy both: staying connected and feeling peaceful. Celebrate small digital joys. Every little win online — sharing a useful tip, getting a sweet reply — deserves cheers. If you only wait for lots of followers, you’ll miss daily fun. 5 For example, celebrate finishing a post you care about, not just hitting a follower goal. Treat yourself to a snack after a nice chat. These turn online time into a happy journey. A．Try browsing with intention. B．Chasing likes will make you tired. C．Just fix your attention on the little joys online. D．Minor accomplishments in the digital world lift your mood. E．In fact, mixing work and rest online helps you stay balanced. F．But our time online doesn’t have to be stuck in this dilemma. G．That cozy glow from within doesn’t depend on likes or comments. 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．A 4．C 5．D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何在社交媒体中摆脱“追求点赞”与“彻底逃避”的两难困境，找到数字生活的平衡之道。 1．空前“Many of us face a tricky trap on social media: either chase endless likes with constant posting or escape by ignoring it all. We stress over this forced choice — approval or isolation — as if they can’t mix.(我们许多人都深陷社交媒体的棘手陷阱：要么通过不断发帖来追逐无穷无尽的点赞，要么选择彻底逃避、对一切视而不见。我们为这种被迫的选择而焦虑不已——仿佛认可与孤独无法共存。)”提出社交媒体的两难选择（追求点赞或完全逃避），并指出人们误以为“认可与孤独不可兼得”。F选项“But our time online doesn’t have to be stuck in this dilemma.(但我们的上网时光未必非要困于这种两难境地。)”中的“But”否定极端观点，暗示存在第三种选择，自然引出后文“三种平衡方法”的总起句“Here are three practical ways to find balance in the digital world.(以下是在数字世界中寻找平衡的三种实用方法。)”，因此F选项符合语境。故选F。 2．该段核心观点是空前“True connections matter more.(真正重要的，是真实的联结。)”，空后“So pick activities that make you feel truly good, like talking about hobbies or helping friends online — no need to care about likes!(因此，选择那些能让你真正感到愉悦的活动吧，比如谈论兴趣爱好，或是在网上帮助朋友——无需在意点赞数量！)”建议参与能带来内在满足的活动（如谈论爱好、帮助朋友）。G选项“That cozy glow from within doesn’t depend on likes or comments.(那种源自内心的温暖，并不依赖于点赞或评论。)”总结主题：内心的温暖不依赖外部认可，与后文“无需在意点赞”（no need to care about likes）形成呼应。故选G。 3．后文“Mindful scrolling (浏览) means noticing nice things — an inspiring post, a friend’s happy news — without comparing yourself.(有意识地浏览（Mindful scrolling），意味着去关注美好的事物——比如一篇鼓舞人心的帖子，或是朋友的喜讯——而不与他人比较。)”提到“有意识地浏览社交媒体，关注美好事物而非自我比较”，核心是主动选择浏览内容。A选项“Try browsing with intention.(有意识地浏览内容。)”作为小标题，直接点明“有意图地浏览”，与下文“关注美好事物”逻辑一致。故选A。 4．结合下文“Then you’ll enjoy both: staying connected and feeling peaceful.(然后你会享受两者：保持联系和感到平静。)”可知，该段讨论如何通过“有意识地浏览”实现社交与内心的平衡。C选项“Just fix your attention on the little joys online.(只需将注意力聚焦于网络世界中的小确幸。)”总结结果：通过关注美好事物（noticing nice things），用户能同时享受社交连接与内心平静，与前文逻辑闭环，因此符合语境。故选C。 5．该段小标题是“Celebrate small digital joys.(庆祝数字生活中的小确幸。)”和空前“Every little win online — sharing a useful tip, getting a sweet reply — deserves cheers. If you only wait for lots of followers, you’ll miss daily fun.(网络上的每一个小成就——分享一条实用建议、收到一条暖心回复——都值得欢呼。如果你只盯着粉丝数量的增长，就会错过日常的乐趣。)”主张庆祝线上小成就（如分享有用技巧、收到暖心回复），而非仅关注粉丝数量。D选项“Minor accomplishment in the digital world lift your mood.(数字世界里的微小成就，也能让你心情愉悦。)”解释原因：数字世界的小成就能提升情绪，与后文例子（celebrate finishing a post）紧密衔接，因此D选项符合语境。故选D。 6.（2026·湖北省宜昌市高三上学期九月起点） Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things (IoT)? It is a term that has been gaining attention in recent years. 1 Simply put, the IoT refers to a network of physical devices connected to the internet, enabling them to collect, share, and act on data. From smart home appliances to wearable fitness trackers, the IoT is transforming the way we live and work. The concept of IoT is not as complex as it sounds. 2 Imagine your refrigerator sending you a notification(通知)when you’re running out of milk, or your smart watch reminding you to stay active after sitting too long. These devices make everyday tasks easier and more efficient. The IoT relies on sensors, software, and wireless networks to create this smooth connection. 3 It enhances convenience, saves time, and improves productivity. In industries, IoT technology is transforming processes. For instance, in agriculture, sensors can monitor soil water levels and help farmers adjust irrigation. In healthcare, wearable devices can track patients’ vital signs and warn doctors about potential health issues. However, the IoT also raises concerns. One major issue is data security. As more devices collect and share personal information, the risk of data exposure increases. 4 Privacy is another challenge, as users may not always know how their data is being used. These issues highlight the need for better security measures. The Internet of Things is shaping a more connected and intelligent world. While it offers many benefits, it also comes with challenges that need to be addressed. As technology continues to develop, the IoT will likely play an even greater role in our lives. 5 A．What does it truly refer to? B．What items might be part of the IoT? C．The benefits of the IoT are undeniable. D．It’s more straightforward than you expect. E．Users often share data freely without realizing its value. F．Sensitive data can be subject to misuse without adequate safeguards. G．It is up to us to accept its potential while remaining mindful of its risks. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．F 5．G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了物联网（IoT）的定义、应用、优势以及面临的挑战，并指出其在我们生活中的潜在作用。 1．由上文“Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things (IoT)?

You’re passed over for a job. Your back aches. Your zipper breaks. Faced with setbacks large and small, you begin to wonder if you’re just an unlucky person. Why does it seem like you can never catch a break? 1 What Is Luck? People define luck in three ways, according to Jacqueline Woolley. First, we often use the term luck as synonymous with ‘chance’. Another way to frame luck is “as a supernatural force that exists in the universe”, she says. 2 Some people believe it also can be harnessed, with a ritual or charm. Third, it can be thought of as a personal trait that you’re born with. But does it exist? Richard Wiseman believes that considering yourself lucky or unlucky is “a way of seeing yourself, which then has impact on how you think. 3 Vik Loveday interviewed 44 academic employees who were on temporary contracts. He found they would attribute good news concerning their careers to luck, because they believed it happened almost by accident. Professor Woolley also has looked at this idea in children. Between the ages four and eight, they are exposed to the concept of luck mostly through family and books. By age eight to ten, however, they start to get skeptical. They’ve begun to notice that, “when they wish for something, it doesn’t happen, ” she says. 4 For example, Michael Jordan had to wear his college practice shorts under his NBA uniform. How To Think About Luck? After studying people who consider themselves lucky or unlucky, Professor Wiseman has found that the ‘lucky’ ones maximize chance opportunities and dare to follow their intuition to grasp those moments. Lucky people also expect good fortune and can transform bad experiences to good. To improve your luck, you can keep a ‘luck diary’. Spend about 30 seconds writing down a positive thing that’s happened each day. 5 Take a different route when walking, watch a different TV programme and speak to different people. A．Why Is Luck At Play? B．What Is The Role Of Luck? C．Also, don’t be a creature of habit. D．Write down small changes you make in life. E．It may touch on different people at different times. F．There are three experts to help you improve your outlook G．Still, this doesn’t stop the belief from persisting into adulthood. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．B 4．G 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了“运气”的概念、人们对运气的看法以及如何改变对运气的思考方式。 1．根据上文“Faced with setbacks large and small, you begin to wonder if you’re just an unlucky person. Why does it seem like you can never catch a break? (面对大大小小的挫折，你开始怀疑自己是否只是一个不幸的人。为什么你好像永远都不能得到转机？)”可知人们遇到各种不顺，怀疑自己运气不好，后面开始介绍不同专家对运气的看法，F选项“有三位专家来帮助你改善看法。”起到承上启下的作用，符合题意。故选F。 2．上文“Another way to frame luck is “as a supernatural force that exists in the universe”, she says. (她说，另一种定义运气的方式是“宇宙中存在的一种超自然力量”。)”提到运气被定义为超自然力量，下文“Some people believe it also can be harnessed, with a ritual or charm. (有些人认为它也可以被利用，通过仪式或符咒。)”说有人认为它能被利用，所以E选项“它可能在不同的时间触及到不同的人。”能够很好地衔接上下文，说明这种超自然力量的特点。故选E。 3．设空处为本段的小标题，下文“Vik Loveday interviewed 44 academic employees who were on temporary contracts. He found they would attribute good news concerning their careers to luck, because they believed it happened almost by accident. Professor Woolley also has looked at this idea in children. Between the ages four and eight, they are exposed to the concept of luck mostly through family and books. By age eight to ten, however, they start to get skeptical. They’ve begun to notice that, “when they wish for something, it doesn’t happen, ” she says. (维克·洛夫迪采访了44名签订临时合同的学术人员。他发现，他们会把事业上的好消息归因于运气，因为他们相信这几乎是偶然发生的。伍利教授也在儿童中研究了这一观点。在4到8岁之间，他们主要是通过家庭和书籍接触到运气的概念。然而，在八到十岁的时候，他们开始怀疑。她说，他们已经开始注意到，“当他们想要什么东西时，它不会发生。”)”说明人们把职业上的好消息归因于运气，阐述了运气在人们生活中的作用，B 选项“运气的作用是什么？”符合语境，适合作小标题。故选B。 4．上文“By age eight to ten, however, they start to get skeptical. They’ve begun to notice that, “when they wish for something, it doesn’t happen, ” she says. (然而，在八到十岁的时候，他们开始怀疑。她说，他们已经开始注意到，“当他们想要什么东西时，它不会发生。”)”提到8-10岁开始对运气持怀疑态度，下文“For example, Michael Jordan had to wear his college practice shorts under his NBA uniform. (例如，迈克尔·乔丹不得不在他的NBA制服里面穿他的大学训练短裤。)”举例说明像迈克尔・乔丹这样的成年人还有对运气相关的信念，G 选项“然而，这并不能阻止这种信念持续到成年。”可以连接前后内容。故选G。 5．根据下文“Take a different route when walking, watch a different TV programme and speak to different people. (每天花30秒写下一件积极的事情。步行时走不同的路线，看不同的电视节目，和不同的人说话。)”可知提到走路走不同路线、看不同电视节目、和不同人说话，这些都是改变习惯的做法，C 选项“另外，不要成为习惯的产物。” 与之呼应。故选C。 8.（2026·山西省朔州市怀仁市第一中学校高三上学期摸底） Do you remember when someone would be cruel to you at school and you would come home crying? Your parents probably told you that “what they think doesn’t matter — it’s what you think that counts.” 1 How can you be happy if you don’t like who you are? Here are some ways to change your self-perception and boost your happiness. Identify what matters to you. First, ask yourself what’s important to you. We all have traits (特点) we value and talents we pride ourselves on. 2 If creativity and art are your strengths, emphasize them. It shouldn’t matter if you lack confidence or are overweight as long as you have something to be proud of. Finding your purpose makes minor issues seem less significant. 3 Your current self is a stepping stone to becoming who you want to be. For instance, if you’re unhappy with your career, think about a job that would make you happy and how to achieve it. Remember, many successful people didn’t achieve greatness until later in life; it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. 4 List your positive traits and achievements. Before aiming for self-improvement, recognize your virtues. Sit down and write ten things you like about yourself and ten achievements you’re proud of. Everyone can come up with at least ten items. Find role models. 5 To overcome this, find role models who share similar traits but succeed despite challenges. Seeing how others maximize their strengths can inspire you to do the same, boosting your self-respect. By focusing on what truly matters, you can improve your self-respect and overall happiness. A．Focus on these positive aspects. B．Acknowledge you can change and grow. C．But what if the criticism comes from within? D．The journey itself matters more than the destination. E．How do you go about changing the way you feel about others? F．Reflect on your friends and family members who love you for who you are. G．We often compare ourselves unfavourably to others, especially those in the media. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．G 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何通过改变自我认知来提升个人的幸福感。 1．根据前文“Do you remember when someone would be cruel to you at school and you would come home crying? Your parents probably told you that “what they think doesn’t matter — it’s what you think that counts.” (你还记得在学校有人对你很残忍，你哭着回家吗？你的父母可能会告诉你：‘他们怎么想并不重要，重要的是你怎么想。’)”提到别人对你残忍时父母的安慰话语，以及后文“How can you be happy if you don’t like who you are?(如果你不喜欢你自己，你怎么能快乐呢？)”说如果不喜欢自己怎么能快乐呢，C选项“But what if the criticism comes from within?( 但如果批评来自内心呢？)”起到了承上启下的作用，引出关于自我认知和自我接纳的讨论，符合语境。故选C项。 2．根据前文“We all have traits we value and talents we pride ourselves on.( 我们都有自己珍视的特质和引以为傲的才能。)”可知，这句话鼓励人们关注自己的价值和才能。紧接着应该强调专注于这些积极的方面，以强化正面的自我认知。A项“Focus on these positive aspects.(关注这些积极的方面。)”与前文内容紧密相连，进一步强调了积极特质的重要性，有助于建立积极的自我形象，符合文章提升自我认同感和幸福感的主题。故选A项。 3．根据后文“Your current self is a stepping stone to becoming who you want to be.(你现在的自己是成为你想成为的人的垫脚石。)”这句话说明了当前的状态是未来理想自我的基础，暗示了个人具有成长和改变的潜力。因此，这里需要承认个人可以改变和成长的观点。B项“Acknowledge you can change and grow.(承认你可以改变和成长。)”与后文的成长和改变主题直接相关。故选B项。 4．根据前文“Remember, many successful people didn’t achieve greatness until later in life; it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.(记住，许多成功人士直到较晚的时候才取得伟大成就；追求你的梦想永远不会太晚。)”这句话强调了成功是一个过程，而不是一个终点。因此，这里应该强调过程的重要性，而不仅仅是目标的实现。D项“The journey itself matters more than the destination.(旅程本身比目的地更重要。)”与前文的成功过程论相呼应。故选D项。 5．根据后文“To overcome this, find role models who share similar traits but succeed despite challenges.( 为了克服这一点，寻找具有相似特征但在挑战中成功的榜样。)”这句话暗示了存在某种需要克服的不利比较或自我怀疑，因此，这里应该指出人们常常不利地将自己与他人，尤其是媒体中的人物进行比较的问题。G项“We often compare ourselves unfavourably to others, especially those in the media.(我们经常拿自己和别人作不利的比叫，尤其是和媒体中的人比。)”为后续寻找榜样以克服这种心态的建议提供了背景。故选G项。 9.（2026·广西部分学校高三上学期开学） Have you had trouble concentrating on tasks or getting things done? Here are four helpful ways to improve your focus and help you reach the finish line. Take a deep breath 1 . When you’re stressed, your attention narrows. The fight-or-flight response starts working. Your heart beats a little faster, and you might get a little sweaty because you’re anxious. So if something requires your full attention, take a breath and calm your body down. It is your body’s response to that stress that’s causing the limitation in attention. Allow your mind to wander If you are finding it hard to focus, take a break and allow your mind to wander into what’s called the default mode (默认模式) network. 2 . It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind. Get yourself there with something called positive constructive daydreaming. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe it’s a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm, sandy beach. Free your mind for about 20 minutes of this fun and watch what happens. 3 You should set some limitations if you often find yourself wasting time on social media, and it’s making you feel stressed and ashamed. Try turning off push notifications (推送通知) and removing social media apps from your phone to create natural obstacles to accessing them. 4 . Remember your time is precious Think about all the people and things you consider most important — your friends and your hobbies. 5 . Are the lists the same? Do you keep putting off learning to play a new song because social media won’t stop drawing your attention? If you’re just giving away the only precious thing you have, make sure you spend it wisely. A．This is where magic happens B．Pick what you currently have C．Stress can affect your ability to focus D．Get rid of what takes your attention away E．If they’re not enough, use some tools to help you F．Only in this way can you fix your mind on something creative G．Then think about who and what you actually spend your time on 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．E 5．G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种有助于提高专注力的方法，包括深呼吸、允许思绪漫游、摆脱干扰以及牢记时间的珍贵，帮助人们更好地完成任务。 1．根据本段小标题“Take a deep breath (深呼吸)”以及空后的“When you’re stressed, your attention narrows. The fight-or-flight response starts working. Your heart beats a little faster, and you might get a little sweaty because you’re anxious. (当你感到压力时，你的注意力范围会缩小。“战斗或逃跑”反应开始起作用：你的心跳会稍快一些，由于焦虑，你可能还会微微出汗。)”可知，压力对专注力有影响。C选项“Stress can affect your ability to focus (压力会影响你的专注力)”中的“stress”与空后内容相呼应，点明了本段主旨，符合语境。故选C项。 2．根据空前的“If you are finding it hard to focus, take a break and allow your mind to wander into what’s called the default mode (默认模式) network. (如果你发现很难集中注意力，休息一下，让你的思绪漫游到所谓的默认模式网络中。)”以及空后的“It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind.

They do this rather than putting on different faces around different people, or tailoring their personality based on context. 1 To be authentic, you need to accept yourself for who you are, and treat others with respect. Authentic people display a consistent set of values, and don’t change their behaviour from one conversation to the next. Accept yourself for who you are. Accepting yourself often requires a mental attitude adjustment. Try to be slower to criticize yourself or see yourself as inferior to (次于) others. Focus on accepting and appreciating who you are as a unique individual. 2 Put time into personal growth. There is a great deal of authenticity to be found in growing yourself and pursuing interests that fulfill you as a person. 3 In contrast, inauthentic people often neglect the things that interest them in favor of pursuing whatever they believe to be popular or socially required of them. 4 Authentic people are in touch with their moral compass and their personal set of beliefs. This includes religious beliefs, moral beliefs, and beliefs of any other kind. These beliefs should be evident in your daily behaviours. Many people unthinkingly adopt a partner’s, parent’s or friend’s beliefs without figuring out if the beliefs are right for them. Express your thoughts and feelings. 5 Authentic people are comfortable speaking their mind and communicating when they have a problem or are appreciative of something. If you feel prohibited to speak your mind, or realize that you frequently only say what you think those around you expect to hear, you’re likely behaving inauthentically. A．Ask people for help when you need it. B．Act on your personal beliefs and values. C．Talk about your opinion when it matters to you. D．This can be done through classes, volunteering or hobbies. E．This will lead to authentic behaviours in line with your personality. F．If you don’t have a fear of rejection, it will be easier to maintain a relationship. G．Personal authenticity is the daily expression of your core beliefs and personality. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．D 4．B 5．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了什么是个人真实性以及如何做到真实，包括接受自我、投入个人成长、依据个人信念和价值观行事以及表达自己的想法和感受等方面。 1．上文“When a person is authentic, it means that they act in ways that genuinely show how they feel. They do this rather than putting on different faces around different people, or tailoring their personality based on context. (当一个人很真实，这意味着他们的行为能真实地反映内心感受。他们不会在不同的人面前换上不同的面孔，或是根据情境调整自己的个性)”解释了什么是真实，G选项“Personal authenticity is the daily expression of your core beliefs and personality.(个人真实性是你核心信念和个性的日常表达)”进一步阐述了个人真实性的含义，是对上文的进一步说明，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 2．上文“Accepting yourself often requires a mental attitude adjustment. Try to be slower to criticize yourself or see yourself as inferior to (次于) others. Focus on accepting and appreciating who you are as a unique individual.(接受自己通常需要调整心态。尽量减少对自己的批评，或者认为自己不如别人。专注于接受和欣赏你作为一个独特个体的身份)”建议要接受自己，调整心态，减少对自己的批评，欣赏自己作为独特个体的身份，E选项“This will lead to authentic behaviours in line with your personality.(这将导致符合你个性的真实行为)”承接上文，说明接受自己、调整心态后带来的结果，即会有符合自己个性的真实行为，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 3．上文“There is a great deal of authenticity to be found in growing yourself and pursuing interests that fulfill you as a person.(在自我成长和追求让你成为一个完整的人的兴趣中，你会发现很多真实性)”建议要投入个人成长，追求能让自己成为一个完整的人的兴趣，D选项“This can be done through classes, volunteering or hobbies.(这可以通过上课、做志愿者或培养爱好来实现)”承接上文，说明实现自我成长和追求兴趣的具体途径，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 4．下文“Authentic people are in touch with their moral compass and their personal set of beliefs.

Here are three irreplaceable human attributes (属性). We have real-life experiences while AI has data. Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. 2 While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success the way humans do. Experience isn’t just about information— it’s about personal growth. 3 We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. Instead, it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve. We have free will while AI has codes (代码). Humans can choose generosity over self- interest, forgiveness over hatred, and innovation over conformity. But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. 4 AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. 5 In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. A．It’s gaining popularity. B．Besides, it is deeply practical. C．We are considerate while AI is creative. D．We seek meaning while AI follows instructions. E．It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts. F．Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions. G．So value our and others’ emotional depth, life experiences and creative potential. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．D 4．E 5．G 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了在人工智能能模仿人类诸多行为的当下，了解人类与AI的区别至关重要，并介绍了人类三项不可替代的属性。 1．上文“In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. (在当今世界，人工智能（AI）能够模仿我们的语言、自动做出决策，甚至模拟情感，了解是什么让我们与众不同，这不仅仅是一个哲学层面的问题)”说明了解人类与AI的区别不只是哲学上的，空处承接上文，进一步说明其性质，B选项“此外，它还非常实用”中的“Besides”与上文形成递进关系，同时呼应下文“Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths— our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. (弄清楚是什么让我们与智能机器有着不容置疑的区别，有助于我们保护甚至拓展自身最宝贵的优势——创造力、情商、生活阅历以及目标感，这样一来，我们就不仅仅是与人工智能共存，而是要超越它，主动塑造未来，而非被它所塑造)，提到的了解区别能帮助我们保护和拓展自身优势，符合语境。故选B。 2．上文“Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. (从出生那一刻起，经历就是塑造我们最强大的力量之一)”，强调经历对人的塑造作用，F选项“每一次失败、成功和挑战都会影响我们未来的决定”，具体阐述了不同经历对人未来决策的影响，符合语境。故选F。 3．下文“We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. (我们通过创造故事来理解世界，在奋斗中寻找目标，并将过去与未来联系起来。然而，人工智能不会去思考它所做事情背后的“原因”)”，对比了人类和AI在对待事物“原因”“意义”上的不同，D选项“我们寻求意义，而人工智能遵循指令”准确概括了人类追求意义、AI仅按指令行事的区别，概括上文的对比，符合语境。故选D。 4．上文“But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. (但人工智能只遵循规则。无论多么先进，它总是受其程序的约束)”说明AI受程序限制，空处承接上文，进一步说明AI的局限性，E选项“它没有欲望、信念或独立思考”是对AI受程序约束、缺乏自主性的进一步阐述，符合语境。故选E。 5．上文“AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful, but it will likely never provide what makes us human—empathy (共情), true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. (人工智能可能非常有用和有帮助，但它很可能永远无法提供那些使我们成为人的东西——共情、真爱、有意义的目标和生活经历)”，强调了人类所拥有的独特品质是AI无法提供的，G选项“所以要珍视我们自己和他人的情感深度、生活经历和创造潜力”承接上文，呼吁人们重视自身独特品质，与下文“In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity—not the other way around. (通过这种方式，我们可以确保技术将服务于人类——而不是反过来人类服务于技术)”，确保技术服务于人类相呼应，符合语境。故选G。 2.（2026·江苏省镇江第一中学等校高三上学期8月期初考试） IQ scores like Einstein’s 160 or Madonna’s 140 grab attention, but EQ (Emotional Intelligence), MQ (Moral Intelligence), and BQ (Body Intelligence) are far more critical for success. A high IQ is necessary but not enough. For example, people prefer doing business with those they like and trust, even with less favorable terms. 1 Emotional Intelligence EQ centers on recognizing and regulating emotions — both your own and others’, using them appropriately in situations, and building strong relationships. 2 This practice sharpens self-awareness of how thoughts influence feelings. Stress can be a huge killer of emotional intelligence, so you also need to develop healthy coping techniques that can effectively and quickly reduce stress. Moral Intelligence MQ builds on EQ, focusing on responsibility, sympathy, and forgiveness. It grows on keeping commitments, staying honest, and treating others with respect. To improve it, replace excuses with responsibility for your actions. 3 Show genuine sympathy for others’ struggles, as empathy promotes connection. Equally important is forgiveness — showing tolerance of other people’s shortcomings. Body Intelligence BQ reflects how well you understand, value, and care for your body. Though it may seem unrelated to work, it absolutely affects your work because it largely determines your feelings, state of mind, and energy level. 4 Choosing energy-giving foods over tiring ones, ensuring sufficient rest, making time for exercise, and even small steps like monitoring weight can dramatically benefit the way you perform at work. 5 Someone with these qualities can outperform a highly educated person lacking them. IQ benefits you alone, but EQ, MQ, and BQ uplift those around you, unlocking greater success and professional respect. A．This can build others’ trust in you. B．This leads to repeated mistakes in your act. C．Without it, even daily tasks can feel unmanageable. D．Developing it means noticing daily signs and acting on them. E．Formal education matters less than developed EQ, MQ, and BQ. F．To improve it, start by tracking your inner dialogue through journaling. G．Thus, investing in EQ, MQ, and BQ matters more than just fixing on IQ. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．E 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出情商、道德商、体商比智商对成功更关键，分别阐述三者的核心、提升方法，强调它们比正规教育更重要，能助个体超越高学历者。 1．根据前文“A high IQ is necessary but not enough. For example, people prefer doing business with those they like and trust, even with less favorable terms.( 高智商是必要的，但还不够。例如，人们更喜欢与他们喜欢和信任的人做生意，即使条件不太有利。)”提到高智商必要但不足够，人们更愿意与喜欢和信任的人做生意，此处需总结“情商（EQ）、道德商（MQ）和体商（BQ）$
