Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省太原市·期中)
Making decisions is a complex skill. There are always things to consider and the consequences might not be obvious for weeks, months, or years. So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision. 1 .
Narrow the options
Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama? 2 ? The first step is to narrow your options. When you reduce your choices, you are more able to look deeply into them and find a better solution, be it for what show you will be watching next or what you are going to study.
Take time but set a deadline
3 . When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision. On the other hand, some people will feel upset endlessly over a decision if not limited in some way. So if you know yourself to be the type to think and overthink, set a deadline for yourself.
Talk things through
A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people. 4 . After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.
Remember that nothing is everlasting
Something that keeps you indecisive is the feeling that whatever decision you make, it will apply forever! This mindset can make you afraid of making decisions. Remember you can always change your mind and go after something else. 5 . But usually it’s not impossible. So give yourself permission to change your mind later if what you chose doesn’t work out.
A.Should you do your homework at once
B.Sure, it can be difficult to change course
C.Should you start with a show or just a movie
D.Being pressured into a decision is often a red flag
E.However, it’s important to find someone you can trust
F.This will help you identify how you feel with a particular option

2 . Everyone is good at something, so give attention to areas where you’re the best. Write down everything you do well, and take pride in your gifts. When you’re feeling down, read your list of strengths so you can remind yourself how amazing you are.
Celebrate your small successes. 3 . Even small milestones on your journey to success are important. Take a moment to enjoy your achievements and the progress you’re making toward your goals. Take pride in things like completing a project, taking the first step toward a goal or winning an award at work or school.

Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省安康市·期中)
There are many ways of improving your mental (精神的) health. Some are tried-and-true. 1 . And then there are methods that aren’t legal (合法的). But over the years, my workmates have reported on other self-care tips that are supported by science and fairly easy to make. Maybe you could use them too.
2
There’s much proof that getting outside can really help reduce stress, improve your mood, and even keep you healthy. How so?

Tidy up your space
Getting organized can make a difference in your mental health. You’ll feel less tired, increase your efficiency at the office, and greatly improve the quality of your life if you can learn how to tidy up and become organized. To me, the most surprising finding is that you should look but not touch while you’ re sorting out things to throw away. 3 .

2
Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school. Find out where your classroom will be, as well as other important places.
Prepare for the First Day
3 Being well rested will help you remove (去除) any nervousness you may be feeling. Try to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep if you’re between 7 and 17 years old.
4
Make sure you leave lots of time in the morning to get to school. You don’t want to be rushing into your classroom after the bell rings. Arriving early may also give you a chance to chat with a few other students and hopefully make a few new friends.
Make friends

Family meetings are a good way to improve communication among all family members. To hold a successful family meeting, you need to avoid the following common mistakes.
Giving up too soon. 1 . It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family.

Letting kids have too much power. While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. 3 . Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters.
Going too far off the topic. Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. 4
Getting into arguments (争吵). 5 . Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏吴忠市·期中)
Do you know who is the loneliest person in the world? 1 Maybe their partner has passed away and they live alone, and their age means they can’t get around like they used to.
2 For example, one study looked at how being lonely can increase the levels of stress hormones (应激激素) in our bodies, which have been connected to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Another showed how lonely people have a 50 percent increased risk of early death.
We think of older people as being more alone and thus lonelier. 3 According to the work of Julia Holt, a psychology professor at Brigham Young University in the US, loneliness is commonly seen among teenagers and young adults. Holt and her colleagues analyzed (分析) 70 studies, and found that there were stronger risks of loneliness for those young people. “Older adults should not be the only focus of the effects of loneliness and social isolation (隔绝). 4 .” Holt told The New York Times, which stated the health impacts of loneliness in a recent article.
“ 5 ” she added. “While older people might be alone much of the time, this doesn’t mean they are unhappy about it. In fact, people can feel lonely when they’re surrounded by others. Many lonely people are also married.”
A.The answer is a bit unexpected.
B.But this might not actually be true.
C.Older people are often thought of as being lonely.
D.People feel lonely when they are away from home.
E.Instead we need to pay attention to people of all ages.
F.Being lonely and being alone are two different things.
G.Research has shown how loneliness is bad for our health.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·山西省·期中)
Building positive relationships with others is important for personal growth. Here are some effective ways to better your interactions and build stronger connections.
· Practice active listening. 1 . It also means understanding and responding (回应) thoughtfully. When someone speaks, focus on their message and pay close attention to it. Show that you are interested in the conversation by nodding, keeping eye contact, and asking questions. These make them feel valued.
· Show empathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When a friend or coworker expresses sadness or joy, don’t offer help right away. 2 Words like “I can see why you feel that way” can help create a more supportive environment.
· Communicate clearly. Clear communication is key to avoiding misunderstandings. Be clear and direct in your language. When discussing your thoughts or needs, express yourself honestly while also being considerate (体谅的) of others’ feelings. 3 .
· Be respectful and considerate. Respect is important in any good relationship. 4 . Show consideration for their time and personal space by being on time and mindful of their boundaries (边界). Small gestures, like thanking someone for their help or recognizing their contributions, go a long way in building positive relationships.
· 5 . Shared interests can strengthen connections. Take time to discover common hobbies or experiences you may have with others. Joining in activities that you both enjoy can create lasting memories and deepen your relationship. It also allows you to start enjoyable conversations.
A.Find common ground
B.Always treat others with kindness
C.Instead, recognize their feelings first
D.Listening is more than just hearing words
E.Stay in touch with the people who share our happiness
F.This doesn’t mean that we should say sorry to our friends
G.At the same time, encourage open dialogue by asking for opinions

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·期中)
1 These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz.
Study Alone. Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly. 2
3 The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible — like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room, consider studying at the library instead.
Eat healthy while you study. If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food (垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood. 4 They won’t help you in the long run. You can instead eat a banana or an apple.
Study all term long. You may always wish to put off studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won’t really stay in your brain. That’s not true. Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook. 5
A.Get everything you need.
B.Create a perfect study area.
C.Say no to caffeine or energy drinks.
D.Having trouble getting serious about studying for a test?

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省忻州市·期中)
Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn
If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 1
Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west. 2 It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers.
Know about the history and culture. 3 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial.
4 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital.
Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food — or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. 5
A.Translate the literature.
B.Appreciate the literature.
C.Here come a few good reasons to learn the language.
D.Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable.

Passage 5
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省咸阳市·期中)
Make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors, if you want to make a good impression on your conversational partner.
Continuous nodding
Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged. 1 , it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly — or not even — paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate.
Crossing your arms
There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from threats. 2 .
Unsmiling
We’re not saying you should smile as if the person you’re speaking with keeps making jokes. However, you should try and keep a smile loaded up whenever needed. Smiles are also infectious. 3 , your partner will smile too.
4
Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep your eyes focused on the person in front of you.
Being too close
5 . Depending on where you live, the distance between two people can be as close as two feet or as far as five. Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely. Nobody likes having their personal space invaded, so try and respect his or her wishes by keeping an appropriate distance.

B.But if you nod too much
C.Irregular movement of the eyes
D.Keep smiling when the other people are talking
E.But in social life, try to keep our body as open as possible
F.So if you start smiling
G.All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct
Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·期中)
The best way to set yourself up for success is to guarantee that your goals are SMART:specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely.
Make your goals specific.
You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you’re working toward. Your goal is specific if you can answer these questions. Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal? 1 Be very specific. When will you start and when will you reach your goal?
2
Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down, it’s time to look at how you will measure your progress. After all, if you don’t have anyway to measure your goal, how will you know when you’ve reached it? Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers. Some examples of measurable goals might be weight loss, a positive change in blood test numbers, or fitness minutes accumulated.
Make your goals attainable.
3 . However, it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach. A goal that’s attainable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support, equipment, knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action.
Make your goals relevant.
You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle. 4 Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you’ll set yourself up for success.
Make your goals timely.
Put a deadline on your goal. Otherwise, it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it. Every goal should have a date, which will help you stay on track. 5
A.It’s good to think big.
B.Make your goals measurable.
C.What exact goal do you want to accomplish?
D.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省太原市·期中)
Making decisions is a complex skill. There are always things to consider and the consequences might not be obvious for weeks, months, or years. So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision. 1 .
Narrow the options
Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama? 2 ? The first step is to narrow your options. When you reduce your choices, you are more able to look deeply into them and find a better solution, be it for what show you will be watching next or what you are going to study.
Take time but set a deadline
3 . When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision. On the other hand, some people will feel upset endlessly over a decision if not limited in some way. So if you know yourself to be the type to think and overthink, set a deadline for yourself.
Talk things through
A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people. 4 . After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.
Remember that nothing is everlasting
Something that keeps you indecisive is the feeling that whatever decision you make, it will apply forever! This mindset can make you afraid of making decisions. Remember you can always change your mind and go after something else. 5 . But usually it’s not impossible. So give yourself permission to change your mind later if what you chose doesn’t work out.
A.Should you do your homework at once
B.Sure, it can be difficult to change course
C.Should you start with a show or just a movie
D.Being pressured into a decision is often a red flag
E.However, it’s important to find someone you can trust
F.This will help you identify how you feel with a particular option
G.Let’s explore a set of guidelines that help you simplify the process
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.D 4.E 5.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了可以帮助到犹豫不决的人们下决心的方法。
1.根据上文“So you might feel too worried about your choices and experience a constant sense of indecision.( 因此,你可能会对自己的选择感到过于担忧,并经常感到优柔寡断)”及下文给出了四个帮助解决做决定困难问题的建议可知,该空应该是指出对于此种担忧有解决办法的。由此可知,G. Let’s explore a set of guidelines that help you simplify the process(让我们探索一组帮助您简化该过程的指导方针)承上启下,guidelines呼应下面小标题,simplify呼应上文段首的complex。故选G项。
2.根据上文“Imagine yourself looking through a streaming platform. Should you watch this action comedy or that romantic drama?(想象一下你正在看一个流媒体平台。你应该看这部动作喜剧还是那部爱情剧?)”可知,该空应该是一个选择疑问句,是对于平台播放节目的选择。由此可知,C. Should you start with a show or just a movie(你应该从一场演出开始,还是只看一部电影)符合语境。故选C项。
3.根据小标题Take time but set a deadline及下文“When someone won’t give you time, they might be too interested in you making a bad choice. So, it’s important to defend your time to make a decision.(当有人不给你充足时间时,他们可能希望你做出错误的选择。所以,保护你的时间来做决定是很重要的)”可知,本段主要讲做决定前必须有足够的时间去思考,不能仓促。由此可知,D. Being pressured into a decision is often a red flag(在外界压力下做出决定通常是一个危险信号)符合语境,劝诫不要在别人催促情况下仓促决定。故选D项。
4.根据上文“A good rule for decisions is to try and talk things through with other people.(做决定的一个好规则是试着和其他人讨论事情)”及下文“After all, you don’t want to go to people who always discourage you or those who cheer blindly on every option.(毕竟,你不会想去找那些总是让你泄气的人,或者那些对每个选择都盲目欢呼的人)”可知,此处表达做决定前可以找人商量,但是人选要慎重,应该选择可靠的人。由此可知,E. However, it’s important to find someone you can trust(然而,找到一个你可以信任的人是很重要的)符合语境。故选E项。
5.根据上文“Remember you can always change your mind and go after something else.(记住,你可以随时改变主意,去追求别的东西)”及下文“But usually it’s not impossible. So give yourself permission to change your mind later if what you chose doesn’t work out.(但通常也不是不可能。所以,如果你的选择不成功,允许自己稍后改变主意)”可知,上一句说做决定时要知道,什么都不是永恒的,做了决定,不合适就可以改;下一句说改变即使很难但也不是不可能,允许自己对效果不好的决定作出改变,那么做决定时就不会太艰难。由此可知,B. Sure, it can be difficult to change course(当然,改变航向可能很难)承上启下,呼应上文的change,呼应however后面的not impossible,很难但却不是不可能。故选B项。

【答案】1.D 2.B 3.F 4.C 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对如何适应新学校提出了建议和方法。
1.根据上文“School is a base for students, where they learn to succeed. (学校是学生的基础,在这里他们学习如何取得成功。)”和下文“When you go to a new school, you might worry that you don’t know anyone. You worry that you might get lost, or if the teachers are strict.(当你去一所新学校时,你可能会担心你不认识任何人。你担心你可能会迷路,或者如果老师很严格怎么办。)”可知,上文提到学校的优点,下文具体说明了在学校里会遇到的困难,空处和上文形成转折关系,讲述了在新学校可能会遇到困难。所以选项D“但适应一所新学校可能会很困难”切合文意。故选D。
2.空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Before you start the school, go with your parents to visit the school. Find out where your classroom will be, as well as other important places.(在你开始上学之前,和你的父母一起去参观学校。找出你的教室,以及其他重要的地方。)”可知,此处是指在开始上学前先熟悉新学校,所以选项B“了解学校”切合文意,为本段的标题。故选B。
3.根据下文“Being well rested will help you remove (去除) any nervousness you may be feeling. Try to get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep if you’re between 7 and 17 years old.(休息好会帮助你消除你可能感到的紧张。如果你的年龄在7到17岁之间,尽量保证至少8到9个小时的睡眠。)”可知,此处是指到校第一天的前一天晚上要保证充足的睡眠,所以选项F“好好睡一觉,开始你上学的第一天。”切合文意。故选F。
4.空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Make sure you leave lots of time in the morning to get to school.(确保你早上有足够的时间去上学。)”以及“ Arriving early(早早到达)”可知,此处是指早点出发去学校,所以选项C“早点动身去学校”切合文意。故选C。
5.上文“Sign up for activities like drama, sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with people who have the same interests as yours.(报名参加戏剧、体育或象棋俱乐部之类的活动。这将把你和那些和你有相同兴趣的人放在一起)”建议参加各种活动,并讲述了这样做的好处,结合下文“You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.(你甚至可以教其他孩子如何做某事。)”可知,空处也是描述参加活动的好处,且与下文可以教别人有关,所以选项E“这也会给你一个机会在运动或其他活动中展示你的技能。”切合文意。E项中“also”承接上文,故选E。
Passage 8
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省榆林市·期中)
Family meetings are a good way to improve communication among all family members. To hold a successful family meeting, you need to avoid the following common mistakes.
Giving up too soon. 1 . It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family.
2 . Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. You might take a problem-solving approach by saying, “The house has been pretty messy lately. What can we do about that?”
Letting kids have too much power. While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. 3 . Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters.
Going too far off the topic. Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. 4
Getting into arguments (争吵). 5 . Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once.
A.Turning a meeting into a lecture
B.They always get the better of an argument
C.If your first meeting doesn’t go well, don’t give up
D.Lecturing your children about making too much noise
E.In this case, step in and tell them to get to the main topic
F.Even so, let them know the adults are open to their opinions
G.At times, a family meeting ends up with an endless argument
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.F 4.E 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了家庭会议需规避的错误做法。
1.由上文“Giving up too soon. (放弃得太早)”可知,本空要说跟“不要放弃”有关的话题,由下文“It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family. (每个人可能都需要一段时间才能逐渐适应家庭会议。但是如果你定期举行并努力改进,你的家庭会议就能对家里的每个人都有帮助)”可知,即使第一次家庭会议不成功,也不要放弃,故C选项“If your first meeting doesn’t go well, don’t give up (如果你的第一次会议进行得不顺利,不要放弃)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
2.由下文“Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. (不要用会议来单独指出某一个人制造了问题,也不要就孩子们的行为方式对他们进行说教)”可知,本空要说跟“不要说教”有关的话题,A选项“Turning a meeting into a lecture (把会议变成说教)”能引出下文,符合题意。故选A。
3.由上文“While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. (虽然你想征求孩子们的意见,但要明确他们在家庭重要事务上,比如是否搬家,没有平等发言权)”和下文“Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters. (那么他们就会知道你很想听听他们对这些事情的想法)”可知,虽然孩子们在家庭重要事务上没有平等发言权,大人们还是要倾听孩子们的意见,本空应对此进行解释。F选项“Even so, let them know the adults are open to their opinions (即便如此,也要让他们知道大人们是愿意倾听他们的意见的)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
4.由上文“Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. (你的孩子们可能会开始偏离主题,如果你不把谈话带回当前的任务,你可能会觉得这次会议毫无意义)”可知,孩子们可能会偏离主题,故本空要说跟“把谈话带回当前的任务”有关的话题,E选项“In this case, step in and tell them to get to the main topic (在这种情况下,介入并告诉他们回到主题)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
5.由上文“Getting into arguments (争吵)”可知,本空要说跟“争吵”有关的话题,由下文“Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once. (家庭会议是介绍社会上处理分歧的恰当方式的好时机。如果孩子们吵吵嚷嚷,或者有人越界了,马上制止他们。)”可知,有时候家庭会议最终会变成争吵,故G选项“At times, a family meeting ends up with an endless argument (有时,家庭会议最终会以无休止的争吵告终)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏吴忠市·期中)
Do you know who is the loneliest person in the world? 1 Maybe their partner has passed away and they live alone, and their age means they can’t get around like they used to.
2 For example, one study looked at how being lonely can increase the levels of stress hormones (应激激素) in our bodies, which have been connected to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Another showed how lonely people have a 50 percent increased risk of early death.
We think of older people as being more alone and thus lonelier. 3 According to the work of Julia Holt, a psychology professor at Brigham Young University in the US, loneliness is commonly seen among teenagers and young adults. Holt and her colleagues analyzed (分析) 70 studies, and found that there were stronger risks of loneliness for those young people. “Older adults should not be the only focus of the effects of loneliness and social isolation (隔绝). 4 .” Holt told The New York Times, which stated the health impacts of loneliness in a recent article.
“ 5 ” she added. “While older people might be alone much of the time, this doesn’t mean they are unhappy about it. In fact, people can feel lonely when they’re surrounded by others. Many lonely people are also married.”
A.The answer is a bit unexpected.
B.But this might not actually be true.
C.Older people are often thought of as being lonely.
D.People feel lonely when they are away from home.
E.Instead we need to pay attention to people of all ages.
F.Being lonely and being alone are two different things.
G.Research has shown how loneliness is bad for our health.

1 These high school study tips will get you in the right direction to get prepared for your final exams, or just for your average, everyday quiz.
Study Alone. Unless you’ve got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study because they may get off-topic pretty quickly. 2
3 The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible — like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don’t have your own room, consider studying at the library instead.
Eat healthy while you study. If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food (垃圾食品). Instead, take studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, milk, and seafood. 4 They won’t help you in the long run. You can instead eat a banana or an apple.
Study all term long. You may always wish to put off studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won’t really stay in your brain. That’s not true. Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook. 5

5.空前“Take some time throughout the term to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your textbook.(整个学期花点时间复习所有的笔记,重读课本上的重要段落。)”说明了要花时间复习,空格处应该说复习的好处,G选项“It might seem boring, but it’ll really keep all those facts in your brain on test day.(这可能看起来很无聊,但它真的会在考试当天把所有的知识都记在你的大脑里。)”说明了复习可以把所有的知识都记在你的大脑里,是复习的好处,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选G。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省忻州市·期中)
Why is Chinese a Good Language to Learn
If there’s one language in the world that’s worth learning, it’s the Chinese language. You must be wondering why. 1
Gain the job opportunities. With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west. 2 It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers.
Know about the history and culture. 3 In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world. It’s agreed that four great inventions — namely paper-making, printing, gunpowder and the compass — made their way from China to Europe via the famous Silk Road. To really understand the contribution of this part of the world and have a deep insight into the history of Asia, speaking the language can be beneficial.
4 Chinese literature, both ancient and modern, comes from an entirely different cultural background than literature written in the West. To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital.
Enjoy the food. In Britain, we’re familiar with Chinese food — or at least, a Westernized version of it. By learning the Chinese language, you’ll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean. In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar. 5
A.Translate the literature.
B.Appreciate the literature.
C.Here come a few good reasons to learn the language.
D.Therefore, the ability to speak Chinese language is pretty valuable.
E.China is home to the history and culture that runs for thousands of years.
F.You might even develop an appreciation for Chinese cuisine for its varieties.
G.Chinese culture has had a great influence on the world for thousands of years.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.E 4.B 5.F

2.前文“With the steady development for decades, China has become the second largest economic power in the world while keeping closely connected with the west.(经过几十年的稳步发展,中国已成为世界第二大经济体,同时与西方保持着密切联系)”讲述了中国经济发展迅速,与西方有着密切联系,空处应指出会说汉语所具有的价值,D项“因此,说中文的能力是很有价值的。”符合题意,且与下文“It helps a lot if you’re looking to work in a career that involves dealing with Chinese buyers or suppliers.(如果你想从事与中国买家或供应商打交道的事业,这会有很大帮助)”衔接顺畅,It指代选项中的“the ability to speak Chinese language”。故选D。
3.本段主旨句“Know about the history and culture.(了解历史和文化)”指出学习汉语可以帮助了解历史和文化,后文“In fact, China has had a significant say in the history of the world.(事实上,中国在世界历史上有着重要的发言权)”讲述了中国对世界历史有着重要作用,由此可知,空处应是说中国有着丰厚的历史和文化,E项“中国拥有数千年的历史和文化。”符合题意。故选E。
4.空处是本段主旨句。根据下文“To really appreciate it, however, you have to read it in the original language. Many works of Chinese literature haven’t been translated into English, so you have no choice but to enjoy them as they stand. If you want to understand modern China, learning the Chinese language is vital.(然而,要真正欣赏它,你必须用原文阅读。许多中国文学作品还没有翻译成英文,所以你别无选择,只能按原样欣赏它们。如果你想了解现代中国,学习中文至关重要)”可知,本段主要讲述了学习汉语对于欣赏中国文学作品的重要性,B项“鉴赏文学。”符合题意。故选B。
5.根据本段主旨句“Enjoy the food.(享受食物)”可知,本段主要讲述了学习汉语对享受美食的重要性。前文“In time, you might feel more comfortable ordering something that’s a little bit less familiar.(随着时间的推移,你可能会觉得点一些不太熟悉的东西会更舒服)”讲述了学习汉语后你可以慢慢点一些不太熟悉的食物,空处应进一步说学习汉语对尝试中国美食的影响,F项“你甚至可能会开始欣赏中国菜的不同品种。”符合题意,even表示递进。故选F。

Passage 5
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省咸阳市·期中)
Make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors, if you want to make a good impression on your conversational partner.
Continuous nodding
Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged. 1 , it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly — or not even — paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate.
Crossing your arms
There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from threats. 2 .
Unsmiling
We’re not saying you should smile as if the person you’re speaking with keeps making jokes. However, you should try and keep a smile loaded up whenever needed. Smiles are also infectious. 3 , your partner will smile too.
4
Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep your eyes focused on the person in front of you.
Being too close
5 . Depending on where you live, the distance between two people can be as close as two feet or as far as five. Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely. Nobody likes having their personal space invaded, so try and respect his or her wishes by keeping an appropriate distance.
A.Looking downward
B.But if you nod too much
C.Irregular movement of the eyes
D.Keep smiling when the other people are talking
E.But in social life, try to keep our body as open as possible
F.So if you start smiling
G.All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct
【答案】1.B 2.E 3.F 4.A 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个不当的肢体语言动作及纠正措施。
1.上文“Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged.”(在谈话中,在适当的时间和地点点头可以表明你完全投入。)说明谈话中适当的点头是可接受的,并结合后文“it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly-or not even-paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate.”(这会让人觉得你是在试图掩盖你几乎不注意或者根本不注意的事实。保持头直,眼睛向前,只在适当的时候点头。)可知,空前讲到在谈话的时候不时地点点头会让人感到你在倾听,空后说的则是你可能只是在点头敷衍,这中间应该有个转折。故B项“But if you nod too much”(但是如果你频频点头)符合语境,故选B项。
2.上文“There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from threats.”(人们不喜欢谈话对象双臂交叉是有原因的:这会让他们看起来不愿意说话。在动物王国里,我们把手臂放在前面来保护自己免受威胁。)说明在动物王国里,交叉手臂放在胸前是为了自卫,E项“But in social life, try to keep our body as open as possible”(但是在社交生活中,尽量保持我们的身体开放)与上文构成转折,说明在社交生活中应该有不一样的做法,符合语境,故选E项。
3.上文“Smiles are also infectious.”(微笑也是有感染力的。)说明了微笑具有感染力,并结合下文“your partner will smile too.”(你的伴侣也会微笑。)可知,空处需给出伴侣也会微笑这件事发生的条件,F项“So if you start smiling”(所以如果你开始微笑)构成下文的条件,符合语境。故选F项。
4.下文“Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep your eyes focused on the person in front of you.”(当你和别人说话时,眼睛盯着你的脚或你面前的地面会让你看起来有点惭愧。这绝对是你不想给你的听众留下的印象,特别是在正式的场合,你的一言一行都会被评判,比如在面试中。所以试着把你的目光集中在你面前的人身上。)可知,本段指出不恰当的身体姿势是低头看地面,A项“Looking downward”(低头看地面)可总结本段内容。故选A项。
5.下文“Depending on where you live, the distance between two people can be as close as two feet or as far as five. Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely. ”(根据你生活的地方,两个人之间的距离可以近至两英尺,也可以远至五英尺。不管是哪种情况,给你的谈话对象自由呼吸的空间。)说明生活的地方不同,谈话时要保持的距离也不相同,G项“All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct”(就适当的社会行为而言,所有的文化都是不同的)说明文化差异会导致不同的社会行为,衔接后文具体的解释,居住地的不同会影响双方谈话时的距离,这就反映出了文化差异会导致不同的社会行为,符合语境。故选G项。
Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·期中)
The best way to set yourself up for success is to guarantee that your goals are SMART:specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timely.
Make your goals specific.
You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you’re working toward. Your goal is specific if you can answer these questions. Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal? 1 Be very specific. When will you start and when will you reach your goal?
2
Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down, it’s time to look at how you will measure your progress. After all, if you don’t have anyway to measure your goal, how will you know when you’ve reached it? Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers. Some examples of measurable goals might be weight loss, a positive change in blood test numbers, or fitness minutes accumulated.
Make your goals attainable.
3 . However, it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach. A goal that’s attainable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support, equipment, knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action.
Make your goals relevant.
You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle. 4 Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you’ll set yourself up for success.
Make your goals timely.
Put a deadline on your goal. Otherwise, it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it. Every goal should have a date, which will help you stay on track. 5
A.It’s good to think big.
B.Make your goals measurable.
C.What exact goal do you want to accomplish?
D.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
E.Therefore, you should know in advance how you will make this happen.
F.Don’t choose a goal just because someone else thinks it’s something you “should” do.
G.In addition, set up a few mini-deadlines to keep you on track to reach your big goal.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.F 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们想要取得成功,设立一个具体的,可行的目标很重要,文章主要介绍了SMART目标的制定方法。
1.上文“Your goal is specific if you can answer these questions.Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal? (如果你能回答这些问题,你的目标就是明确的。谁会帮助你实现你的目标?)”提到了要回答一些问题,选项C中的问号是关键信息,与上文的问句构成并列关系,所以C选项“你想要达到的确切目标是什么?”符合语境。故选C项。
2.分析段落结构可知,空格处是小标题的位置,下文“Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down, it’s time to look at how you will measure your progress. After all, if you don’t have anyway to measure your goal, how will you know when you’ve reached it? (现在你已经确定了目标的一些细节,是时候看看你将如何衡量你的进步了。毕竟,如果你没有任何方法来衡量你的目标,你怎么知道你什么时候达到了它?)”提到了衡量目标的问题,选项B中measurable是关键词,与下文measure呼应,所以B选项“让你的目标可衡量。”能概括下文内容。故选B项。
3.下文“However, it’s also important that you don’t set a goal that is too big to reach. (然而,同样重要的是,你不要设定一个太大而无法实现的目标。)”提到了设定大目标的问题,再根据However可知,上下文之间是转折关系;选项A中big是关键词,与下文的big呼应,所以A选项“胸怀大志是好事。”能与下文构成转折关系。故选A项。
4.上文“You need to make sure that you’re choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle. (你需要确保你选择的目标适合你和你的生活方式。)”提到了目标选择问题,选项F中choose a goal是关键词,与上文形成对比关系,所以F选项“不要因为别人认为你‘应该’做某事,就选择一个目标。”符合语境。故选F项。
5.上文“Every goal should have a date, which will help you stay on track. (每个目标都应该有一个日期,这将帮助你保持在正确轨道上。)”提到了保持正确轨道,选项G中的track是关键词,与上文的呼应,所以G选项“另外,设定一些小的截止日期,让你在实现大目标的过程中保持正轨。”符合语境。故选G项。

Here are a few ways to cut down your costs in Peru.(你不需要很多钱就能来这里游玩。以下是在秘鲁节省开支的几种方法。)”可知,去秘鲁不需要花很多钱,下文列举了在秘鲁减少成本的几种方法。由此可知,此处应是说在秘鲁旅行成本低,下文是具体说明。所以选项D“最重要的是,在秘鲁旅行很便宜”符合语境,既承接上文,又引出下文。故选D。
2.空处为段落主题句。根据下文“They are the cheapest accommodation you can find and offer personalized service to guests. try to stay in these as often as possible.(它们是能找到的最便宜的住宿,并为客人提供个性化服务。尽量经常住在这里。)”可知,此处是说要住在某种类型的旅馆里,选项A“住在家庭经营的旅馆里”符合语境。故选A。
3.根据上文“Travel off-season. For a low-cost trip, the best times to visit Peru are the months of April and May or September and October.(淡季旅行。对于低成本的旅行,访问秘鲁的最佳时间是4月和5月或9月和10月。)”可知,此处是说在这几个月份去秘鲁旅行成本低,即价格更便宜,选项C“在这些时期价格通常更便宜”符合语境。故选C。
4.根据上文“Take the cheap buses. They cost around 2-10 PEN for a ride.(坐便宜的公共汽车。坐一次车大约要2-10秘鲁索尔。)”和下文“But there is always a door person whom you can ask if the bus is going to your location. There are not always marked bus stops, so look for gathering crowds.(但总是有一个守门人,你可以问他公共汽车是否开往你的目的地。并不总是有标记的公共汽车站,所以要寻找聚集的人群。)”可知,此处是说便宜的公共汽车虽然有点令人困惑,但你可以问守门人,选项F“它们有点令人困惑,因为它们不一定有固定的时间表”符合语境。故选F。
5.根据下文“Free Walking Tour Peru has tours that can guide you around both Lima and Cusco. Just remember to tip your guide at the end.(秘鲁免费徒步旅行团有导游可以带你在利马和库斯科周围游览。只需记住在结束时给导游小费。)”可知,此处是说免费徒步旅行团可以让你了解景点背后的历史,所以选项G“这是了解你所见景点背后历史的一个好方法”符合语境。故选G。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·青海省·期中)
As is known to all, sports are necessary, but many people are worried about getting hurt in sports. The equipment(装备)you wear while taking part in sports and other activities is key to avoiding injuries(受伤).
Start with helmets(头盔). They’re important for sports and activities such as football, baseball, softball, biking, horseback riding, skateboarding, inline skating, skiing, and snow boarding—to name just a few. 1 Every helmet should be replaced after any accident, as there can be more problems you can’t see.
2 Sports participation(参与)is the leading cause of eye injuries in teens, but proper fitting protective eyewear can reduce the risk of serious eye injury by 90%. Don’t just wear your regular glasses when you’re on the court or field. 3
Wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport where head injury is a risk, such as football, basketball, volleyball and boxing. 4 They can be fitted for your mouth by a dentist(牙医)or bought at sports stores.
And last but not least, the right footwear can keep you from tripping and falling. You know that sports like football, baseball, softball, and soccer require cleats(防滑鞋). 5 Ask your coach or doctor what shoes are best for your sport.
A.They don’t provide protection.
B.Need to find the right helmet size for you?
C.Eye protection is also a must for many sports.
D.Helmets reduce the risk of head injuries by 75% - 85%.
E.Mouthguards can protect your mouth, teeth, and tongue.
F.The right kind of equipment is important, so is the right size.
G.But you may not realize that sports like biking need special types of shoes, too.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.A 4.E 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在体育运动中难免会受伤,但是佩戴合适的装备可以很大程度上避免受伤。本文介绍了几种运动保护装备。
1.段首句“Start with helmets(从头盔开始)”提到了安全始于头盔;上一句“They’re important for sports and activities such as football, baseball, softball, biking, horseback riding, skateboarding, inline skating, skiing, and snow boarding—to name just a few.(它们对足球、棒球、垒球、骑自行车、骑马、滑板、直排轮滑、滑雪和单板滑雪等运动和活动都很重要,仅举几例。)”提到了一些需要戴头盔的运动;下文“Every helmet should be replaced after any accident, as there can be more problems you can’t see.(每个头盔都应该在任何事故发生后更换,因为可能有更多的问题是你看不到的。)”提到了事故后需要更换头盔。由此可推知,设空处应与头盔有关。选项中涉及头盔的只有B、D两项。B项重点在于right helmet size,与上下文不符。D项“Helmets reduce the risk of head injuries by 75% - 85%.(头盔可将头部受伤的风险降低75% - 85%。)”中reduce the risk与上下文对应。故选D项。
2.设空处位于段首,应为段落主旨句。下文“Sports participation(参与)is the leading cause of eye injuries in teens, but proper fitting protective eyewear can reduce the risk of serious eye injury by 90%.(参与体育运动是青少年眼部受伤的主要原因,但适当的防护眼镜可以将严重眼部受伤的风险降低90%。)”提到了眼部受伤的原因及保护方式。由此可推知,设空处与“眼部保护”有关,C项“Eye protection is also a must for many sports.(保护眼睛也是许多运动的必要条件。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
3.设空处位于段末,应具有承接上文作用;上文“Don’t just wear your regular glasses when you’re on the court or field.(当你在球场上的时候,不要只戴普通的眼镜。)”提到了在球场时,不要只戴普通眼镜,根据句中的just可知,下文应能与其对应;A项“They don’t provide protection.(他们不提供保护。)”中的they与上文的regular glasses对应。故选A项。
4.上文“Wear a mouthguard if you play a contact sport where head injury is a risk, such as football, basketball, volleyball and boxing.(如果你参加有头部受伤风险的身体接触运动,如足球、篮球、排球和拳击,请戴上护齿器。)”提到了“护齿器”;下文“They can be fitted for your mouth by a dentist(牙医)or bought at sports stores.(它们可以由牙医给你戴上,也可以在体育用品商店买到。)”提到了“护齿器”的来源。由此可推知,设空处应与“护齿器”相关。E项“Mouthguards can protect your mouth, teeth, and tongue.(护齿器可以保护你的口腔、牙齿和舌头。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。
5.上文“And last but not least, the right footwear can keep you from tripping and falling. You know that sports like football, baseball, softball, and soccer require cleats(防滑鞋).(最后但同样重要的是,合适的鞋子可以防止你绊倒和摔倒。你知道像足球、棒球、垒球和足球这样的运动需要球鞋。)”提到了一些运动需要合适的鞋子”;下文“Ask your coach or doctor what shoes are best for your sport.(询问你的教练或医生哪种鞋最适合你的运动。)”提到了确定哪种鞋最适合运动。由此可推知,设空处应与运动鞋有关。G项“But you may not realize that sports like biking need special types of shoes, too.(但你可能没有意识到,像骑自行车这样的运动也需要特殊类型的鞋子。)”与上下文对应。故选G项。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省汉中市·期中)
Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another human being. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is. 1
*Relax and breathe
Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease.
2
*Think and you will be prepared
3 Well, it is true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.
* 4
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will leave the conversation, thinking very highly of you. 5 If you make an effort, you will succeed.
A.Have you ever heard the old saying “think before you speak”?
B.First think, and you will be prepared.
C.Follow the flow of the conversation.
D.This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.
E.You and the other person will have fun chatting with each other.
F.Please follow the 3 basic steps below.
G.Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何学习有效沟通的技巧。
1.根据上文“Is there a better way to learn how to communicate effectively? Yes, there is.( 有没有更好的方法来学习如何有效地沟通?是的,有。)”和下文中的小标题可知,作者在开头提出了一个问题,即是否有更好的学习有效沟通的方法,并给出了肯定的回答,下文提到了具体步骤,因此,F项:Please follow the 3 basic steps below.(请遵循以下3个基本步骤。) 作为引言,提出了接下来将介绍三个基本步骤,引导读者继续阅读,符合语境。故选F。
2.根据上文“Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more at ease.( 呼吸是放松的核心。做几次深呼吸,你的身体会开始变得更放松。)”可知,空处承接上文,指出通过呼吸进行放松带来的具体好处。D项:This will help you apply what you already know about how to communicate well.(这将帮助你运用你已经知道的关于如何进行良好沟通的知识。)符合语境。故选D。
3.根据下文“By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow, you will be better prepared, more at ease and more confident.(提前考虑一下谈话的进展,你会准备得更好,更放松,更自信。)”可知,本段强调了思考的重要性,A项中的“think before you speak”和下文中的“thinking ahead”对应。A项:Have you ever heard the old saying “think before you speak”?(你听过“三思而后言”这句老话吗?)”符合语境。故选A。
4.空处为段落小标题。根据下文“If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, follow through with small talk until a common topic appears.(如果你感到不舒服,沉默只会让情况变得更糟,也会让对方感到不舒服。所以,当所有这些都失败时,继续闲聊,直到找到一个共同的话题。)”可知,C项:Follow the flow of the conversation.(顺着对话的流向)强调了跟随对话的流动,与下文提到的在沟通不畅时通过闲聊来找到共同话题相呼应,符合语境。故选C。
5.根据下文“If you make an effort, you will succeed.(如果你努力,你就会成功。)”可知,通过努力,就能学会良好的沟通技巧。G项:Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach.(学习良好的沟通技巧并不是遥不可及的。)符合语境。故选G。
