I will select (选择) their good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “He who learns but does not think is lost; he who thinks but does not learn is in danger.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and the society.

During this time, the Zhou Dynasty was divided into several smaller states that competed against each other. This background leads to the story of Tian Guang, a famous strategist (战略家)and advisor. His story, “Tian Guang Surrenders to the Sword”, tells us about the importance of honor, making sacrifices, and staying true to what is right. Tian Guang served as an advisor in the state of Qi, where he dealt with a lot of political problems. During this hard time, he had to make a big decision that really tested how loyal (忠诚的) and ethical (道德的) he was.

He did this because he felt a strong duty to keep his people safe from more fighting, showing a type of leadership that cares more about everyone’s needs than just his own. The story of Tian Guang is an important part of Chinese culture, showing the idea of putting others first. These good qualities made Tian Guang a respectable person in Chinese history and stories. Many historians, poets, and scholars have praised his life and learned his honesty and selflessness.

Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet time” at the lab bench was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could mask this inefficiency (低效率) with longer hours, my work felt disorganized. Through reflection, I came to understand my problem. To make a change, I reduced my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Things didn’t go smoothly in the beginning, but with time, I started reading papers during long experiments, and began a habit of writing in my down time. These practices have already yielded success: I am currently preparing a review article for publication with my adviser. I have also felt more engaged in meetings—coming better prepared, asking questions and taking hand—written notes. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety about work efficiency disappear and that my disorganized work—life relationship is traded for one with clearer boundaries. Changing my smartphone habits has also created challenges. Not all my friends have been supportive of my reduced connectivity, and I have missed messages on communication services. Yet these problems have been a small price to pay for increased productivity. So if you find yourself in this situation, I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success. 1．What does the underlined expression “my ‘quiet time’ at the lab bench was anything but” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Screen time took up too much of my work hours. B．I was busy in reflecting on my work inefficiency. C．I always had a good rest quietly at the laboratory bench. D．Watching TV on my phone is always my choice during a break. 2．According to the author, what is the major benefit of changing smartphone habits? A．Enough time to read papers. B．A good balance between work and life. C．The ability to publish scientific articles. D．More chances to attend important meetings. 3．What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．A full schedule for study is important in determining people’s career. B．The author’s friends didn’t support his decision on smartphone usage. C．Missed messages on communication apps didn’t cause trouble to the author. D．It is worthwhile to reduce the connectivity on smartphone despite challenges. 4．From the passage we can know that the author ________. A．cared about what others said very much B．chose to abandon his smartphone to make a change C．hoped to help others by sharing his own experience D．many times he tried to improve his work efficiency but failed 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者改变使用手机的习惯，平衡了工作和生活，希望更多的人都能如此。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone.”可知，作者意识到屏幕时间占据了他太多的工作时间。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety about work efficiency disappear and that my disorganized work—life relationship is traded for one with clearer boundaries.”可知，作者感到自己对工作效率的焦虑消失了，工作和生活关系从混乱变得有了更清晰的界限，即使用手机习惯的改变让他平衡了工作和生活的关系。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Changing my smartphone habits has also created challenges.”及“I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success.”可知，作者认为智能手机使用习惯也带来了一些挑战。但他鼓励在日程中安排休息时间和不受打扰的学习时间，这对成功可能非常重要。即他认为尽管存在挑战，减少智能手机的连接性也是值得的。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Not all my friends have been supportive of my reduced connectivity…I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success.”可知，作者希望通过分享自己的经历帮助他人。故选C。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解（记叙文） 题号 难度 知识点 1 0.85 志愿服务；记叙文 2 0.85 其他著名人物；记叙文 3 0.94 家人和亲人；记叙文 4 0.85 艺术家；记叙文 5 0.85 叙事忆旧；其他人；志愿服务；记叙文 6 0.94 动漫与动画；记叙文 7 0.85 励志故事；记叙文；个人经历 8 0.85 其他著名人物；志愿服务；记叙文 9 0.65 个人经历；爱好；记叙文 10 0.65 哲理感悟；记叙文 11 0.4 政治家；记叙文 12 0.4 个人经历；记叙文；意见/建议 Passage 1 （江西省宜春市丰城市第九中学2024-2025学年八年级上学期期末考试英语试题（B卷））Alice Lee is a high school student studying at a private school.

Passage 4 （江西省景德镇一中2024-2025学年八年级上学期期末考试英语试题）In early 2024, I hit a rut in my studies. Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet time” at the lab bench was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could mask this inefficiency (低效率) with longer hours, my work felt disorganized. Through reflection, I came to understand my problem. To make a change, I reduced my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Things didn’t go smoothly in the beginning, but with time, I started reading papers during long experiments, and began a habit of writing in my down time. These practices have already yielded success: I am currently preparing a review article for publication with my adviser. I have also felt more engaged in meetings—coming better prepared, asking questions and taking hand—written notes. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety about work efficiency disappear and that my disorganized work—life relationship is traded for one with clearer boundaries. Changing my smartphone habits has also created challenges. Not all my friends have been supportive of my reduced connectivity, and I have missed messages on communication services. Yet these problems have been a small price to pay for increased productivity. So if you find yourself in this situation, I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success. 1．What does the underlined expression “my ‘quiet time’ at the lab bench was anything but” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Screen time took up too much of my work hours. B．I was busy in reflecting on my work inefficiency. C．I always had a good rest quietly at the laboratory bench. D．Watching TV on my phone is always my choice during a break. 2．According to the author, what is the major benefit of changing smartphone habits? A．Enough time to read papers. B．A good balance between work and life. C．The ability to publish scientific articles. D．More chances to attend important meetings. 3．What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．A full schedule for study is important in determining people’s career. B．The author’s friends didn’t support his decision on smartphone usage. C．Missed messages on communication apps didn’t cause trouble to the author. D．It is worthwhile to reduce the connectivity on smartphone despite challenges. 4．From the passage we can know that the author ________. A．cared about what others said very much B．chose to abandon his smartphone to make a change C．hoped to help others by sharing his own experience D．many times he tried to improve his work efficiency but failed / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
