Once，a man who works for the union of the local movie theater came in to place an order.He wanted a cake to celebrate a victory he’d had in stopping the theater from being kicked out by its landlord.Moonmilk’s owner was touched by the story and refused payment for the cake.Later，the union leader—so moved by the gesture—delivered free movie tickets to Moonmilk staff.The older women customers are among my favorites.Their concern is poignant；they often wonder if I’m Okay and tell me I look tired. One regular，always alone and smiling，is kind and generous，always declaring we have the best ice cream in the city.There’s also the guy who comes frequently to ask if we have the chocolate orange flavor—that we only ever have at Christmas.I always have to say no，but his persistence brings me joy，especially on days when I’m tired.As with any job，there are unpleasant moments.My wrist often hurts from repeatedly scooping out ice cream，and it’s always annoying when a group of people come in and take way too long to order，holding up all the others waiting.Worse still，in the fall，my full-time job’s schedule becomes more demanding and I know I’ll have to scale back my shifts.I will run into my favorite customers less often. But my experience working at Moonmilk has offered much more than just a paycheck.It has helped me feel more connected to my local community.The interactions and connections I’ve made will sustain me until at least next summer. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在Moonmilk蛋糕和冰淇淋店兼职的经历，以及这份工作给作者带来的感受和影响。 4.What initially drew the author to work at Moonmilk？ A.A love for cake and ice cream.

B.People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes. C.People using body language are often smiling genuinely. D.Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions. 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in the real world... other body movements.”可知，由于分心，大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。故选D。 √ 9.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？ A.How to control facial muscles. B.How smiles influence emotions. C.How to distinguish different smiles. D.How spontaneous smiling happens. 段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，第二段主要讲了自然微笑是如何产生的。故选D。 √ 10.Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text？ A.To show the problems brought by smiling. B.To show some cultural differences of smiling. C.To explain how people hide their true feelings. D.To explain why smiling can have more positive effects. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Smiles can mean very different things in different countries.In the USA，for example...”可推知，文中提到美国和一些亚洲社会是为了展示与微笑相关的文化差异。故选B。 √ 11.What can we infer from the last paragraph？ A.Smiling has little to do with character. B.Smiling can clear up misunderstandings. C.People rarely smiling are hard to get on with. D.Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships. 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推知，微笑与性格没什么关系。故 选A。 √ D (2025·山西省三晋名校高二月考) 　　No pain，no gain，as the old exercise saying goes.But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training？ That depends on what you’re trying to achieve，fitness experts say. For years，some trainers have instructed gym-goers that to get the best results，they need to train until failure，meaning until they cannot physically do one more repetition or exercise.Some recent studies，however，suggest this extreme rule may only benefit certain people. “If somebody wants to increase muscle (肌肉) mass as much as they possibly can，then training to failure is something to consider，”said Michael Zourdos，chair of exercise science and health promotion at Florida Atlantic University. Zourdos and his colleagues found that training until failure may build bigger muscles，but isn’t needed to increase strength.He said people who work out hard，but don’t push themselves to the state of being totally tired out，will still likely improve their health and fitness.“There is a difference between training for health and training for excellent performance，” he said. He also said failure training often comes at a cost，since people working to that standard might be so tired that they have no energy to join their next gym training or two.In extremely rare instances，overdoing it can be harmful，leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis，where damaged muscles begin to break down，possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage. James Fisher，a sports science expert and consultant in Southampton，England，said whatever your fitness goal was，the concept of failure training could be applied into your workout.But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days，he said. For people who have more experience，experts recommend saving the failure training for occasional workouts，or on the last set of exercises in their training.“It’s not meant to be for every person，every time they work out，” Fisher said.“This is a tough way to exercise.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度。 12.What is the function of the saying in the first paragraph？ A.To give examples. B.To lead in the topic. C.To make comparisons. D.To provide an argument. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容可推知，本段中的谚语用于引出话题，讨论训练的强度和目标。故选B。 √ 13.What does the author want to show by mentioning rhabdomyolysis？ A.The harm of failure training. B.The benefit of eating healthily. C.The importance of bigger muscles. D.The necessity of training in a gym. 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In extremely rare instances，overdoing it can be harmful，leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis，where damaged muscles begin to break down，possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage.”可推知，作者提到横纹肌溶解症是为了说明过度训练的危害。故选A。 √ 14.What did James Fisher advise people to do after they train to failure？ A.Try lifting weights at once. B.Have their kidney checked. C.Look for an excellent trainer. D.Rest for about two days. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days，he said.”可知，James Fisher建议人们在训练到力竭后休息大约两天。故选D。 √ 15.What is the best title for the text？ A.How Hard Should You Train？ B.How Often Should You Do Exercise？ C.How Can You Improve Your Health？ D.How Do You Lose Weight in a Healthy Way？ 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training？ That depends on what you’re trying to achieve，fitness experts say.”可知，本文主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度，故A项“你应该多努力地训练？”为本文最佳标题。故选A。 √ Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2025·江西省景德镇市高二上学期检测) Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills.If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye，you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations.　1　 Try to relax as much as possible.The more you think about what you’re doing，the more awkward you’ll feel.Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty.　2　 If you’re going into an important meeting or interview，do some breathing exercises.A few big，full，deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down. 　3　 It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes.It’s more common to focus on one，or on a spot on the face，rather than trying to look at both eyes at once.If it helps，try moving back and forth between the two eyes.
