I’m not sure there’s any specific advice I can give to cheer you up. It’s sometimes quite annoying to be reminded how much people love you when you don’t love yourself that much. I’ve found that it’s of some help to compare one’s moods(情绪)about the world to the weather.  Here are some obvious things about the weather: It’s real. If it’s dark and rainy, it really is. It isn’t under one’s control as to when the rain stops, but it will stop one day. You can’t change it by wishing it away. It really is the same with one’s moods．The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions(幻想). Panic, anxiety and anger are as real as weather. But they will pass; they really will. In the same way that one has to accept the weather, one has to accept how one feels about life. “Today’s a bad day” is a perfect approach.“Hey-ho, it’s raining inside; it isn’t my mistake, and there’s nothing I can do about it. But when the sun comes out, I shall take full advantage.” I don’t know if any of that is of any use... I just hope this brings you a little more pleasure and purpose in life. Best wishes! Yours, Stephen Fry 1．How does Crystal feel according to the letter? A．Ignored. B．Ashamed. C．Panicked. D．Unhappy. 2．Stephen Fry writes to Crystal to________． A．offer tips on making friends B．teach skills of writing poems C．share comfort and encouragement D．explain ways of observing weather 3．In which column(专栏)of a school website will you find the text? A．Literature. B．Watch This. C．Just Ask. D．Science Forum.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一上·山东潍坊·期末） There are apps and websites that are designed to help people in their daily lives — whether they’re trying to feel less anxious in hard times, or to hear and see the world better. Let’s explore some! Seeing AI It is a clever app designed to help and support people who are blind or partially sighted, and want to be able to read the world around them. Created by technology company Microsoft, the app uses a phone’s camera to look at signs, banknotes and other forms of text, and read out what they say or are. The app, which Microsoft describes as a “talking camera”, can even recognize friends and describe people around you. Smiling Mind It is an app made in Australia. It helps young people learn about meditation (冥想) and mindfulness, which are ways to focus your thoughts. It’s free, and gives you exercises to practise for 10 minutes a day. The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends. TextHear This is an app created for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said. Its developers say that it is easier than lip-reading (唇读). Besides, it can translate different languages. Colorfy It is a fun “art and digital colouring” app where you tap on different parts of drawings to colour them in. It’s been designed to help you relax and deal with anxious and stressful moments by concentrating on something creative and calming. 1．Why is Seeing AI described as a “talking camera”?

In fact, there are many colorful beaches in the world. Look at the world’s most colorful beaches here. Which one would you like to choose? Pink: Pink Sand Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas Harbor Island is celebrated for its pale pink, coral reef-protected shore. The beach borrows its color from itty-bitty, bright pink microorganisms known as foraminifera (有孔虫), and its sand is always delightfully cool to the touch, so you can walk barefoot without worrying about burning your toes. Green: Papakolea Beach, Hawaii Situated near South Point of the island of Hawaii, Papakolea Beach is a pretty uncommon sight. The super remote stretch of green sand is carved into the side of Puu Mahana - a cinder cone (火山砾锥) over 49, 000 years old which, thanks to erosion, has tinted the shore with olivine lava. White: Hyams Beach, New South Wales, Australia Australia’s Hyams Beach has been deemed the brightest and whitest sand on earth - just consult your Guinness Book of World Records for proof. The sand here is made up of bright white silica, and it is known for its fine texture and pillow-like softness. Not only do visitors get to enjoy great visuals, but they also get to walk on the silkiest sands that they are ever likely to experience. Red: Kaihalulu Beach, Maui Island, America Kaihalulu Beach boasts of its magnificent red sand beach. It’s no surprise as to where the color comes from - the beach is surrounded by red cliffs, and the contrast of the blue water against the red landscape is simply stunning. 1．What makes Pink Sand Beach pink? A．The cool sand. B．The cinder cone. C．The coral reef. D．The foraminifera. 2．Which is the best choice for the silkiest sands walking experience? A．Pink Sand Beach. B．Papakolea Beach. C．Hyams Beach.

Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东淄博实验中学·期末） Escaping the city and getting back to nature is a great way to relax and recharge — there is nothing quite like sleeping in a treehouse. These new treehouses range from cosy to luxurious. Besides the well-known Bower Treehouse, we’ve found a few others in the UK. Gwdy Hw, Wales In the heart of the Welsh mountains, Gwdy Hw has six treehouses designed with the surrounding woodland in mind, so much so that they melt smoothly into the valley’s treeline. Each cosy treehouse features a wood-burning stove, a double bed, and a toilet. The only thing missing is electricity, so you can avoid using your digital devices and exchange electric lights for twinkling lanterns while reading comfortably under blankets. Netherby Estate, Cumbria Set in the grounds of the Netherby Estate, with views of the Scottish border, this cabin-like outpost (前哨基地) has been built among ancient oak trees. That makes it feel a little more well- built than other treehouses, but it’s a cosy nest, just the same, and is filled with home comforts. Kids will love the mezzanine level (夹层), accessed by a ladder, while adults will enjoy the outdoor hot bath. Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon If you only saw the inside of this luxury space, you’d have trouble believing it was actually supported on stilts (桩子) and built around a tree. There’s a free-standing bathtub, for starters, as well as a living room with a sofa, a king-size bedroom and amazing wooden inner parts throughout. A private terrace (露台) overlooks the fishing lake, providing a true escape into nature. 1．If you want to take a break from social media, which treehouse should you consider? A．Bower Treehouse. B．Gwdy Hw, Wales. C．Netherby Estate, Cumbria. D．Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon. 2．Netherby Estate, Cumbria is a great place for you to ________. A．lie in bed counting stars B．cook food for your family C．have fun fishing with your friends D．enjoy the sight of ancient oak trees 3．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A research paper. B．A travel brochure. C．A novel. D．A fashion magazine.

I’m not sure there’s any specific advice I can give to cheer you up. It’s sometimes quite annoying to be reminded how much people love you when you don’t love yourself that much. I’ve found that it’s of some help to compare one’s moods(情绪)about the world to the weather.  Here are some obvious things about the weather: It’s real. If it’s dark and rainy, it really is. It isn’t under one’s control as to when the rain stops, but it will stop one day. You can’t change it by wishing it away. It really is the same with one’s moods．The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions(幻想). Panic, anxiety and anger are as real as weather. But they will pass; they really will. In the same way that one has to accept the weather, one has to accept how one feels about life. “Today’s a bad day” is a perfect approach.“Hey-ho, it’s raining inside; it isn’t my mistake, and there’s nothing I can do about it. But when the sun comes out, I shall take full advantage.” I don’t know if any of that is of any use... I just hope this brings you a little more pleasure and purpose in life. Best wishes! Yours, Stephen Fry 1．How does Crystal feel according to the letter? A．Ignored. B．Ashamed. C．Panicked. D．Unhappy. 2．Stephen Fry writes to Crystal to________． A．offer tips on making friends B．teach skills of writing poems C．share comfort and encouragement D．explain ways of observing weather 3．In which column(专栏)of a school website will you find the text? A．Literature. B．Watch This. C．Just Ask. D．Science Forum. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。这是Stephen Fry写给Crystal的一封信，就Crystal情绪方面给出一些建议。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段“I’m sorry to hear that life is getting you down right now ... I’m not sure there’s any specific advice I can give to cheer you up. (我很遗憾听到生活现在让你沮丧...我不确定有什么具体的建议可以让你高兴起来。)”可知，Crystal心情不好，感到不高兴。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。由文章第二段“I’ve found that it’s of some help to compare one’s moods(情绪)about the world to the weather. Here are some obvious things about the weather:(我发现将一个人对世界的情绪与天气进行比较会有所帮助。)”和最后一段“I don’t know if any of that is of any use... I just hope this brings you a little more pleasure and purpose in life.(我不知道这些有没有用...我只是希望这能给你带来更多的快乐和人生目标。)”可知，Stephen Fry写信是为了安慰和鼓励Crystal。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。由文章第一段“I’m sorry to hear that life is getting you down right now ... I’m not sure there’s any specific advice I can give to cheer you up.(我很遗憾听到生活现在让你沮丧...我不确定有什么具体的建议可以让你高兴起来。)”以及后文可知，这是Stephen Fry写给Crystal的一封信，就Crystal咨询情绪方面的问题而给出一些帮助和建议。所以该文章可能出现在Just Ask.(尽管问)专栏。故选C项。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东德州·期末） Knowing some greater value of social skills can be powerful in many ways to build connections and make wise decisions.

Here’s our pick of the best, fastest, toughest and most enjoyable UK races this January. Lyle Mile Challenge Fort Matilda, Renfrewshire, 1 January For some reason, RunKeeper marks the route for this race as “easy”. Nothing could be further from the truth. A mile is never an easy distance to race, and this mile goes several steps further. Every inch of the route is uphill, starting at just above sea level near Fort Matilda train station. Once you catch your breath, you’ll be rewarded with a fantastic view across the water to Kilcreggan, weather permitting. Romsey 5 Mile Romsey, Hampshire, 19 January There aren’t a lot of five mile events out there to choose from, so this fast and flat event attracts a large number of runners from the super-speedy to the normal-speedy like the rest of us. This popularity can make the start a bit crowded but the runners will spread out soon, allowing you to enjoy a well-supported and well-organized race in the nice area of the Broadlands Estate. First Chance 10K Exeter, Devon, 5 January This 10K is fast and flat, so a good time should be possible, even if the sandy surface might not be quite as quick as tarmac (柏油路). You’ll mostly be following the various branches of the River Exe just outside Exeter. This course will be absolutely wonderful on a cold winter’s morning. Windmill Way Wander 2025 Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, 18 January There are options for every distance from 5K to 47K, but note that this event is not flat just because it’s on roads. Road conditions differ almost constantly, but with a generous seven-hour time limit you don’t have to rush if you don’t want to. 1．What is special about Lyle Mile Challenge? A．It is upward and tough. B．It needs special weather. C．It is an easy race in fact. D．It takes place near a sea. 2．Which race may offer the longest distance? A．Romsey 5 Mile. B．Lyle Mile Challenge. C．First Chance 10K. D．Windmill Way Wander 2025. 3．What do Romsey 5 Mile and First Chance 10K have in common? A．They are fast and flat. B．The roads are crowded all the way. C．They are held on the same day. D．The runners should be super-speedy. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了新年的几项比赛。 1．细节理解题。根据Lyle Mile Challenge部分中的“For some reason, RunKeeper marks the route for this race as “easy”. Nothing could be further from the truth. A mile is never an easy distance to race, and this mile goes several steps further. Every inch of the route is uphill(出于某种原因，RunKeeper将这场比赛的路径标记为“容易”。事实远非如此。一英里的比赛从来都不是一个容易的距离，而这一英里还要更艰难。这条路的每一寸路都是上坡路)”可知，Lyle Mile Challenge比赛的特别之处在于它全程都是上坡，而且很艰难。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章Windmill Way Wander 2025部分“There are options for every distance from 5K to 47K(有5千米到47千米的距离选择)”可知，Windmill Way Wander 2025最长的距离是47千米，而Romsey 5 Mile为5英里，First Chance 10K为10千米。由此可知，Windmill Way Wander 2025为最长的。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据Romsey 5 Mile部分中的“There aren’t a lot of five mile events out there to choose from, so this fast and flat event attracts a large number of runners from the super-speedy to the normal-speedy like the rest of us.(没有太多的五英里的赛事可供选择，所以这个快速而平坦的赛事吸引了大量的跑步者，从超高速到正常速度，就像我们其他人一样)”及First Chance 10K部分中的“This 10K is fast and flat, so a good time should be possible, even if the sandy surface might not be quite as quick as tarmac(柏油路).(这10公里又快又平，所以即使沙质表面可能不如柏油路快，也可能是一个好时机)”可知，这两个比赛的共同点是它们都很快，而且地势平坦。故选A。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东日照·期末） Ready to show off your art to the world?

Let’s explore some! Seeing AI It is a clever app designed to help and support people who are blind or partially sighted, and want to be able to read the world around them. Created by technology company Microsoft, the app uses a phone’s camera to look at signs, banknotes and other forms of text, and read out what they say or are. The app, which Microsoft describes as a “talking camera”, can even recognize friends and describe people around you. Smiling Mind It is an app made in Australia. It helps young people learn about meditation (冥想) and mindfulness, which are ways to focus your thoughts. It’s free, and gives you exercises to practise for 10 minutes a day. The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends. TextHear This is an app created for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said. Its developers say that it is easier than lip-reading (唇读). Besides, it can translate different languages. Colorfy It is a fun “art and digital colouring” app where you tap on different parts of drawings to colour them in. It’s been designed to help you relax and deal with anxious and stressful moments by concentrating on something creative and calming. 1．Why is Seeing AI described as a “talking camera”? A．It can take pictures. B．It can read out what it sees. C．It can recognize voices. D．It can send texts to friends. 2．How does TextHear help deaf people? A．Read their lips.

C．They offer fun coloring. D．They can build a strong body. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个应用程序和网站，可以帮助人们减轻焦虑。 1．细节理解题。根据Seeing AI部分中“The app, which Microsoft describes as a “talking camera”, can even recognize friends and describe people around you.(这款应用被微软称为“会说话的相机”，它甚至可以识别朋友并描述你周围的人)”可知，将Seeing AI描述为“会说话的相机”因为它能读出它看到的东西。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据TextHear部分中“It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said.(它使用手机的麦克风来收听对话，并将其转换为屏幕上的文本，以便人们可以看到所说的内容)”可知，TextHear把口语变成文字帮助聋哑人。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据Smiling Mind部分的“The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends.(这些练习旨在帮助你集中注意力，缓解压力，你可以和家人或朋友一起练习)”以及最后一段“It’s been designed to help you relax and deal with anxious and stressful moments by concentrating on something creative and calming.(它的设计是为了帮助你放松，通过专注于一些创造性和平静的事情来处理焦虑和紧张的时刻)”可知，两者都可以减轻压力。故选B。 主题03 人与自然——自然生态与环境保护 Passage 1 （23-24学年高一上·山东威海·期末） Sunshine and beach means perfect travel on a hot summer day. In fact, there are many colorful beaches in the world. Look at the world’s most colorful beaches here. Which one would you like to choose? Pink: Pink Sand Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas Harbor Island is celebrated for its pale pink, coral reef-protected shore. The beach borrows its color from itty-bitty, bright pink microorganisms known as foraminifera (有孔虫), and its sand is always delightfully cool to the touch, so you can walk barefoot without worrying about burning your toes. Green: Papakolea Beach, Hawaii Situated near South Point of the island of Hawaii, Papakolea Beach is a pretty uncommon sight. The super remote stretch of green sand is carved into the side of Puu Mahana - a cinder cone (火山砾锥) over 49, 000 years old which, thanks to erosion, has tinted the shore with olivine lava. White: Hyams Beach, New South Wales, Australia Australia’s Hyams Beach has been deemed the brightest and whitest sand on earth - just consult your Guinness Book of World Records for proof. The sand here is made up of bright white silica, and it is known for its fine texture and pillow-like softness. Not only do visitors get to enjoy great visuals, but they also get to walk on the silkiest sands that they are ever likely to experience. Red: Kaihalulu Beach, Maui Island, America Kaihalulu Beach boasts of its magnificent red sand beach.

(这片海滩的颜色源自微小的、亮粉色的被称为有孔虫的微生物，并且它的沙子总是触感凉爽宜人，所以你可以光脚行走，不用担心烫伤脚趾。)”可知，是有孔虫让粉红沙滩呈现粉色。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“White: Hyams Beach, New South Wales, Australia”部分“Not only do visitors get to enjoy great visuals, but they also get to walk on the silkiest sands that they are ever likely to experience. (游客不仅可以欣赏到绝佳的视觉效果，还可以走在他们可能体验过的最丝滑的沙滩上。)”可知，想要体验走在最丝滑沙滩上的感觉，海姆斯海滩是最佳选择。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段 “Sunshine and beach means perfect travel on a hot summer day. In fact, there are many colorful beaches in the world. Look at the world’s most colorful beaches here. Which one would you like to choose? (阳光和海滩意味着炎热夏日里的完美旅行。事实上，世界上有许多色彩斑斓的海滩。来看看世界上最绚丽多彩的海滩吧。你想选择哪一个呢？)”可知，整体在介绍不同特色的海滩以吸引人们去游玩，所以很可能出自旅游宣传册。故选C。 Passage 2 （23-24学年高一上·山东淄博实验中学·期末） Escaping the city and getting back to nature is a great way to relax and recharge — there is nothing quite like sleeping in a treehouse. These new treehouses range from cosy to luxurious. Besides the well-known Bower Treehouse, we’ve found a few others in the UK. Gwdy Hw, Wales In the heart of the Welsh mountains, Gwdy Hw has six treehouses designed with the surrounding woodland in mind, so much so that they melt smoothly into the valley’s treeline. Each cosy treehouse features a wood-burning stove, a double bed, and a toilet. The only thing missing is electricity, so you can avoid using your digital devices and exchange electric lights for twinkling lanterns while reading comfortably under blankets. Netherby Estate, Cumbria Set in the grounds of the Netherby Estate, with views of the Scottish border, this cabin-like outpost (前哨基地) has been built among ancient oak trees. That makes it feel a little more well- built than other treehouses, but it’s a cosy nest, just the same, and is filled with home comforts. Kids will love the mezzanine level (夹层), accessed by a ladder, while adults will enjoy the outdoor hot bath. Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon If you only saw the inside of this luxury space, you’d have trouble believing it was actually supported on stilts (桩子) and built around a tree. There’s a free-standing bathtub, for starters, as well as a living room with a sofa, a king-size bedroom and amazing wooden inner parts throughout. A private terrace (露台) overlooks the fishing lake, providing a true escape into nature. 1．If you want to take a break from social media, which treehouse should you consider? A．Bower Treehouse. B．Gwdy Hw, Wales. C．Netherby Estate, Cumbria. D．Treetops at the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel, Devon. 2．Netherby Estate, Cumbria is a great place for you to ________. A．lie in bed counting stars B．cook food for your family C．have fun fishing with your friends D．enjoy the sight of ancient oak trees 3．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A research paper. B．A travel brochure. C．A novel. D．A fashion magazine. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了在英国的3个树屋住宿选项。文章具体描述了几个不同的树屋，强调了逃离城市生活、回归自然的放松方式，旨在推广树屋住宿作为一种独特的、亲近自然的生活体验。 1．细节理解题。根据Gwdy Hw, Wales标题下最后一句话“The only thing missing is electricity, so you can avoid using your digital devices and exchange electric lights for twinkling lanterns while reading comfortably under blankets.(没有的唯一东西是电，因此您可以避免使用数字设备，换掉电灯，用闪烁的灯笼在毯子下舒适地阅读。)”可知，GwdyHw缺乏电力供应，游客无法使用电子设备，所以对于想要远离社交媒体的人来说，GwdyHw是一个理想的选择，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据Netherby Estate, Cumbria标题下“Set in the grounds of the Netherby Estate, with views of the Scottish border, this cabin-like outpost (前哨基地) has been built among ancient oak trees.(坐落在Netherby庄园的场地上，可以看到苏格兰的边界，这个类似小屋的前哨基地建在古老的橡树之间。)”可知，位于Netherby Estate, Cumbria的树屋建于一片古老的橡树林中，故选 D。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Escaping the city and getting back to nature is a great way to relax and recharge—there is nothing quite like sleeping in a treehouse. These new treehouses range from cosy to luxurious. Besides the well-known Bower Treehouse, we’ve found a few others in the UK.(逃离城市，回归自然是放松和充电的绝佳方式——没有什么比睡在树屋里更与众不同。这些新树屋从舒适到奢华应有尽有。除了著名的博尔树屋之外，我们还在英国找到了其他几处。)”可知，本文是为了向希望逃离城市生活亲近自然的人们介绍几个在英国的树屋，故文章来源最有可能是旅游册子，故选B。 Passage 3 （23-24学年高一上·枣庄三中·期末） The 4 BEST Things to Do in Perth You might be wondering ‘Is Perth worth visiting?’ Well after checking out this list of the best things to do in Perth you’ll be sure to add it to your Australian list in no time!Visiting the epic beaches Definitely one of the best advantages of living in Perth is its beaches.
