专题05 七选五 主题01 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏常州·期末） In today’s world, complaints are becoming more common. 1 So, if you often find yourself complaining, it's important to break this habit for everyone's well-being. Here are some tips to help you stop complaining. Focus on Observing, Not Judging Complaining often comes from a judgmental mindset, where we see the world based on our own biases(偏见) and expectations. To reduce your complaining, shift your focus from judging to observing. Instead of being a judgmental commentator on life's events, try to avoid taking sides. 2 Address the Root Cause If you frequently complain, it might be worth exploring why you’re so easily dissatisfied. 3 By addressing the basic problem of your dissatisfaction, you might find that things like the weather or politics aren’t worth complaining about. Accept Stoicism（坚韧） Many people mistake stoicism for simply withstanding the storm with a brave face. But true stoicism includes managing feelings through reason. Before complaining, ask yourself if you can change the situation. 4 If you can, take action instead of wasting time complaining. Avoid Negative Influences 5 Try to manage your personal life and control your media time to avoid negative influences. Remember, some people make a living by feeding on your sufferings. To further strengthen your resolve (决心), make a commitment to stop complaining and ask friends and family to remind you of this goal when they notice you complaining. A．If not, complaining won’t help. B．Improve your problem-solving skills C．If it’s hard, just wait for others to solve it. D．Surrounding yourself with negatives can encourage complaining. E．But habitually complaining can harm both yourself and those around you. F．Often, bigger problems are causing you to be impatient with smaller things. G．This means admitting and accepting situations without immediately passing judgement. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏无锡·期末） Is it ever too late to learn a new skill?

The best learning materials vary based on the skill you want to develop. 7 There are many learning materials that are free to use, including textbooks, online videos, and even blog posts. Do an online search for sources and check your local library for helpful books. Learn through practical experience. The most effective way to learn something is just to do it! Books and tutorials (教程) are excellent primers (入门指南), but try to start performing the new skill as soon as possible. Learn through trial and error rather than spending all your time on theories and memorization. 8 Teach someone else. Teaching a skill enables you to understand it better. Why? By teaching someone else, you first have to think about the skill or subject and break it down into easily explainable pieces. 9 You can also make an informative presentation about the subject or start a blog about your learning process. 10 A plan will help you stay on track with your new pursuit (爱好). Devote at least 20 hours to learning the skill; research shows that spending 20 hours on any skill will greatly improve your understanding and ability.

However, once the strangeness becomes a thought of the past, it becomes much easier to talk to potential new friends. 12 Overcome the shyness of meeting new people and be yourself. Start out with a simple conversation like “Hello, I like your coat” or a discussion about the weather. Those icebreakers will give you the time to feel comfortable and help you open the floor for future conversations. 13 It can be attending a book club or maybe just enjoying a cup of coffee. Making new friendships means learning about someone and sharing stories about each other’s life. Think of your new friendship as a plant. In order to grow, you have to water it and provide it with sunlight. 14 If you want to make new friends, you have to be willing to make the effort. Keep in mind that some people are more outgoing than others and it’s okay to be reserved (矜持). But it’s necessary to make use of opportunities to develop your newly-found friendship. One thing to be cautious about, when you meet new people, is to be always genuine (真诚的). 15 If you don’t like fishing or running, then don’t pretend that you do just so someone will be friends with you.

B．Friendships are great support systems. C．In most cases, you are your biggest road block. D．Be true to yourself and don’t be someone that you are not.

You don’t have to turn your whole life around all at once. 2 A few small decisions are just as good as one large decision. Good changes might include going to bed earlier, getting up earlier, commuting (通勤) by walking or biking, reducing time on the Internet or a device and scheduling time for yourself. 3 Catching negative thoughts as they pass through your head and let them go like clouds floating by. Turn statements expressing worries into hopeful statements. You could turn a thought like, “I’m so nervous for this test” into a statement like, “This test is going to be hard, but I’m going to do my best.” Set reasonable goals. Measurable, achievable goals are an important makeup of personal empowerment, and understanding how to set them can help you feel good about your achievements. 4 Create short-term goals as well as long-term goals. Short-term goals include: giving up smoking, walking for 30 minutes per day, connecting with friends and family once a week, and so on. Accept your mistakes or setbacks. You won’t be able to achieve all of your goals perfectly, and that’s okay!

Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives. 6 Here are some common reasons why you’re losing motivation. Not Aiming High Enough While setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your long-term motivation. 7 If you are used to staying within your comfort zone, you’ll be missing out on the satisfaction of achieving a life-changing goal. When you push yourself, you’ll be able to build unshakable confidence as you crush goal after goal. Letting Fear Control Your Mind And Actions Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams. Instead of taking action and moving forward, you might get stuck where you are. You’ll unavoidably miss out on career and self-improvement opportunities if you don’t learn how to manage your fears. 8 One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear. With deep introspection(内省), you can uncover exactly what prevents your growth. This will give you an opportunity to communicate with your inner being. Facing your fear is the only way you’ll be able to become the best version of yourself. 9 Taking slow, thoughtful actions can have huge impacts on how you deal with your inside and outside world. Unclear Vision Uncertainty about the future is a fear that many of us deal with. It can be paralyzing. Instead of taking action, we start worrying about “What if?”—“What if it doesn’t work out? What if my dream isn’t truly my dream? What if I don’t succeed?” 10 On the contrary, you’ll be driven to strive for excellence when you find your purpose and passion.

People who sleep less per night are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia (痴呆) than those who have enough sleep. 3 Try improving your sleep hygiene (卫生) by taking steps like avoiding caffeine in the evening, limiting naps and putting away electronics before bed. 4 Should we put together puzzles or play Sudoku (数独) every day?

It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. 1 Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine. 2 For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around his neighborhood. Slow jogging can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. 3 There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. 4 This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed. Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. 5 Perhaps most importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more.

Walking is a great first step toward a healthy life though other forms of exercise are also important. “You don’t need equipment. 6 ” Dr. Sarah Eby, a sports doctor said, “And the benefits are huge.” She recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours of suitable-level physical activity every week. Walking helps achieve that. It lowers the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, anxiety and many kinds of cancer. 7 Anita Gust teaches exercise science at the University of Minnesota Crookston. Gust said walking “is not enough for overall health and well-being” because it does not provide training that builds muscle strength. 8 These could include using weights, gym equipment or one’s own body for exercises. Training that improves flexibility, like yoga or stretching, can also be helpful. Many people have heard about the walking goal of 10,000 steps a day. 9 The average American walks about 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, and it is fine to increase that number to 10,000. Setting a time goal can also be useful. Eby suggests dividing the recommended 150 minutes a week into 30 minutes a day, or 10 minutes three times a day, for five days. In a few months, they will become experienced walkers. 10 “If you can talk but not sing,” Eby said, “that’s what we consider suitable-level exercise.” A．Some say walking is not enough. B．You don’t need a gym membership. C．To keep walking, you need to find a partner. D．However, experts say that this is only a suggestion. E．Experts recommend adding other activities twice a week. F．Then they can speed up while still keeping the exercise level suitable. G．Walking also helps blood sugar levels and can help people lose weight. 主题02 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） Good Reasons to Keep a Diary Some call it a diary. Others say log, journal, or notebook. Whatever the word, the key idea is that you create a written record of your thoughts, feelings and memories regularly. Some people do it because they like writing. 1 But the starting point is less important than the journey itself. Here are some reasons why you should start a diary today. First, writing about your feelings and experiences can help reduce stress and anxiety. Keep in mind that the benefits of keeping a diary depend on how frequently you write and how honest you are. Writing regularly, whether it is daily or a few times a week, is usually more beneficial than writing infrequently. 2 Don’t just write what you think others want to hear. Second, keeping a diary can help improve your memory, as you can reflect on past experiences and remember details that may have been forgotten.

Back in 1950, the global average lifespan was only 45 years . 2 We can mainly thank the advancement of medicine for letting us live longer, but at what point do we stop growing and start aging? It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. 3 That seems to be because of the way our species has evolved. 4 So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. Generally speaking, many evolutionary biologists have concluded that we age simply because the driving force of evolution, known as natural selection, hasn’t selected for fitness and function at an older age. Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. 5 Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. These animals age very slowly and typically die from non-age related events such as being killed by other animals, disease or natural disasters. A．What is aging and why do we get older? B．Is this because cells gradually lose some genetic information? C．In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. D．You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. E．After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. F．A study found that we can stop aging but we have to reach 105 years old first. G．Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them. 6 While you will not achieve major weight loss without proper diet and exercise, there are a few things you can do to slim your stomach line without heading to the gym or starving yourself. Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer. When it comes to reducing your stomach line, it’s not all about how much you eat, but also about what you eat. Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal. 7 Get enough sleep. Sleeping doesn’t burn fat on its own, but it’s an important part of weight loss efforts. When you aren’t well-rested, it’s hard to motivate yourself to move. 8 You’ re more likely to eat junk food like hot dogs and fried chicken when you’ re tired out. 9 Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge-drinking, and watching hour after hour of television. Start recording your weight. Some nutrition experts suggest that having a clear idea of your own weight can promote healthy living. 10 If the numbers start to go up, you’ll know that it’s time to reconsider your habits.

There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs that you don’t see coming. 1 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 2 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 3 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 4 As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? 5 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to. All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important. 1 How can I maintain those friendships? According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect. 2 But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 3 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 4 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them. 5 A．Making new friends takes time. B．And time will show you who cares. C．And the focus here is on quality time. D．So I’m wondering what is manageable?

Here are some tips to help you stop complaining. Focus on Observing, Not Judging Complaining often comes from a judgmental mindset, where we see the world based on our own biases(偏见) and expectations. To reduce your complaining, shift your focus from judging to observing. Instead of being a judgmental commentator on life's events, try to avoid taking sides. 2 Address the Root Cause If you frequently complain, it might be worth exploring why you’re so easily dissatisfied. 3 By addressing the basic problem of your dissatisfaction, you might find that things like the weather or politics aren’t worth complaining about. Accept Stoicism（坚韧） Many people mistake stoicism for simply withstanding the storm with a brave face. But true stoicism includes managing feelings through reason. Before complaining, ask yourself if you can change the situation. 4 If you can, take action instead of wasting time complaining. Avoid Negative Influences 5 Try to manage your personal life and control your media time to avoid negative influences. Remember, some people make a living by feeding on your sufferings. To further strengthen your resolve (决心), make a commitment to stop complaining and ask friends and family to remind you of this goal when they notice you complaining. A．If not, complaining won’t help. B．Improve your problem-solving skills C．If it’s hard, just wait for others to solve it. D．Surrounding yourself with negatives can encourage complaining. E．But habitually complaining can harm both yourself and those around you. F．Often, bigger problems are causing you to be impatient with smaller things. G．This means admitting and accepting situations without immediately passing judgement. 【答案】1．E 2．G 3．F 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了抱怨在现代社会中越来越普遍的现象，并提供了几种方法来帮助人们减少抱怨。 1．根据上文“In today’s world, complaints are becoming more common.(在当今世界，抱怨变得越来越普遍)”以及根据下文“So, if you often find yourself complaining, it’s important to break this habit for everyone’s well-being.(因此，如果你经常发现自己抱怨，为了每个人的幸福，打破这个习惯很重要)”可知，选项承上启下说明抱怨的负面影响。E选项“但习惯性抱怨会伤害你自己和你周围的人”切题。故选E项。 2．根据上文“To reduce your complaining, shift your focus from judging to observing.

Keep in mind that some people are more outgoing than others and it’s okay to be reserved (矜持). But it’s necessary to make use of opportunities to develop your newly-found friendship. One thing to be cautious about, when you meet new people, is to be always genuine (真诚的). 15 If you don’t like fishing or running, then don’t pretend that you do just so someone will be friends with you.

You don’t have to turn your whole life around all at once. 2 A few small decisions are just as good as one large decision. Good changes might include going to bed earlier, getting up earlier, commuting (通勤) by walking or biking, reducing time on the Internet or a device and scheduling time for yourself. 3 Catching negative thoughts as they pass through your head and let them go like clouds floating by. Turn statements expressing worries into hopeful statements. You could turn a thought like, “I’m so nervous for this test” into a statement like, “This test is going to be hard, but I’m going to do my best.” Set reasonable goals. Measurable, achievable goals are an important makeup of personal empowerment, and understanding how to set them can help you feel good about your achievements. 4 Create short-term goals as well as long-term goals. Short-term goals include: giving up smoking, walking for 30 minutes per day, connecting with friends and family once a week, and so on. Accept your mistakes or setbacks. You won’t be able to achieve all of your goals perfectly, and that’s okay! Remember that you’re only human, and learn to forgive yourself if you mess up. 5 Remember that you should only compare yourself against who you were in the past, not against anyone else. A．Practice self-care. B．Use positive self-talk. C．Instead, pick something small that you can work toward today. D．The more you accept yourself for who you are, the more others will, too. E．Sticking to your promise can make you feel like you’re in the driver’s seat. F．If you have an area of life to change, try breaking them down into your goals. G．The good news is that you can do something to achieve personal empowerment. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了实现个人赋能的方法。 1．根据上文“Surely, you want to be empowered, always in the driver’s seat of your own life, but sometimes life leaves you feeling powerless or stuck, having no control over a situation.

Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives. 6 Here are some common reasons why you’re losing motivation. Not Aiming High Enough While setting easy goals will keep you motivated, it may harm your long-term motivation. 7 If you are used to staying within your comfort zone, you’ll be missing out on the satisfaction of achieving a life-changing goal. When you push yourself, you’ll be able to build unshakable confidence as you crush goal after goal. Letting Fear Control Your Mind And Actions Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams. Instead of taking action and moving forward, you might get stuck where you are. You’ll unavoidably miss out on career and self-improvement opportunities if you don’t learn how to manage your fears. 8 One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear. With deep introspection(内省), you can uncover exactly what prevents your growth. This will give you an opportunity to communicate with your inner being. Facing your fear is the only way you’ll be able to become the best version of yourself. 9 Taking slow, thoughtful actions can have huge impacts on how you deal with your inside and outside world. Unclear Vision Uncertainty about the future is a fear that many of us deal with. It can be paralyzing. Instead of taking action, we start worrying about “What if?”—“What if it doesn’t work out? What if my dream isn’t truly my dream? What if I don’t succeed?” 10 On the contrary, you’ll be driven to strive for excellence when you find your purpose and passion. A．Fortunately, it can be overcome. B．You don’t need to fix your problem overnight. C．You will find it hard to get started and stay focused. D．However, fewer than 10 per cent actually stick with their resolution. E．If you make goals that are too achievable, you’ll get bored and lose interest. F．When you look around one day and you’re living your dream, it’ll all be worth it. G．If you have trouble creating a vision, then you’re at risk of drifting aimlessly through life. 【答案】6．D 7．E 8．A 9．B 10．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了保持动力的困难之处，并列举了一些常见的失去动力的原因。 6．根据前一句提到“Every New Year, thousands decide they’re going to change their lives.(每年新年，成千上万的人决定要改变他们的生活。)”提到每到新年有成千上万的人决心改变。D选项“However, fewer than 10 per cent actually stick with their resolution.”（然而，只有不到 10% 的人真正坚持他们的决心）形成转折，符合语境，引出下文关于失去动力原因的探讨。故选D项。 7．根据该段主题是“Not Aiming High Enough(目标定得不够高)”E选项“If you make goals that are too achievable, you’ll get bored and lose interest.(如果你制定的目标太容易实现，你会感到无聊并失去兴趣。)”进一步阐述了目标太容易带来的不良影响，与主题相符。故选E项。 8．根据上一段提到“Fear can prevent you from achieving your dreams.( 恐惧会阻止你实现梦想)”提到恐惧会阻止你实现梦想。以及下文“One way to manage fear is to look for the root cause of your fear. (控制恐惧的一种方法是寻找恐惧的根源。)”可知，应对恐惧的一种方法是寻找恐惧的根源。因此，本段主要探讨如何解决恐惧的问题。A 选项“Fortunately, it can be overcome.( 幸运的是，它是可以克服的。)”符合语境，这里的“it”the root cause of your fear，引出下文克服恐惧的方法。故选A项。 9．根据下文“Taking slow, thoughtful actions can have huge impacts on how you deal with your inside and outside world.(采取缓慢、深思熟虑的行动会对你如何处理内心和外部世界产生巨大影响)”提到通过缓慢、深思熟虑的行动可以对内外世界的处理产生巨大影响。B 选项 “You don’t need to fix your problem overnight.(你不需要一夜之间解决你的问题。)”与之呼应，强调不要急于求成。故选B项。 10．该段主题“Unclear Vision(愿景不清晰)”谈论愿景构建问题，G 选项“If you have trouble creating a vision, then you’re at risk of drifting aimlessly through life.( 如果你在构建愿景方面有困难，那么你就有在生活中漫无目的地漂泊的风险。)”符合主题，且与下文“On the contrary, you’ll be driven to strive for excellence when you find your purpose and passion.( 相反，当你找到自己的目标和激情时，你会被驱使去追求卓越。)”形成对比。故选G项。 Passage 3 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） Are you looking for effective ways to develop a lasting good habit?

It is often regarded as an exercise that leaves runners breathless and tired when they finish. On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort. 1 Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine. 2 For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around his neighborhood. Slow jogging can actually be defined as the speed at which you can easily carry on a conversation with someone while running for a long time. If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. 3 There are some tips for you to start your slow jogging. 4 This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed. Running is an activity that can be hard on muscles and bones, especially if you keep a consistent speed for a long period. Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs. 5 Perhaps most importantly, jogging at a slower speed allows you to enjoy run more. If you are interested in getting any of these benefits, it’s certainly worth giving slow running a try. A．The idea of “slow” can differ greatly between persons. B．However, different running styles have different benefits. C．It also helps in burning fat more efficiently in your body. D．For most people, this speed is just slightly faster than walking. E．Recovery from slow jogging can last from several days to weeks. F．Despite its slow speed, keeping proper body’s position is important. G．Running at a slow speed might give the impression that time passes more slowly. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．F 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了慢跑这一运动方式。 1．上文“On the other hand, when someone runs slowly, they might feel like they are not putting in enough effort.(另一方面，当有人跑得慢时，他们可能会觉得自己没有付出足够的努力。)”讲述了慢跑让人没有感觉，后文“Slow jogging, a leisurely form of running, can be a beneficial addition to your running routine.(慢跑是一种悠闲的跑步方式，可以成为你日常跑步的有益补充。)”讲述了慢跑这种跑步方式可以成为你日常跑步的有益补充，由此可知，空处与上文形成转折，引出下文，B项“然而，不同的跑步方式有不同的好处。”符合题意。故选B。 2．根据下文“For a competitive marathon runner, a slow speed will be very different from that of someone who only goes on quick daily jogs around his neighborhood.(对于一个有竞争力的马拉松运动员来说，慢速跑与每天只在附近快速慢跑的人有很大不同。)”可知，慢跑对不同的人是有区别的，空处应引出下文，A项““慢”的概念因人而异。”符合题意。故选A。 3．上文“If you measure your speed for a five-kilometer race, slow jogging will usually be around two minutes slower per kilometer. (如果你测量五公里比赛的速度，慢跑通常每公里慢两分钟左右。)”讲述了慢跑的速度比五公里跑步比赛的速度慢，空处应进一步讲述这种速度比走路快，D项“对于大多数人来说，这个速度只是比走路快一点。”符合题意。故选D。 4．根据下文“This includes taking shorter, quicker steps — about 180 per minute — and landing on the mid-foot rather than the heel. Meanwhile, individuals should stand tall while jogging with their back straight and shoulders relaxed.(这包括采取更短、更快的步伐——大约每分钟180步——并用中足而不是脚跟着地。同时，个人在慢跑时应该站直，背部挺直，肩膀放松。)”可知，空处引出下文，与跑步时的身体姿势有关，F项“尽管速度很慢，但保持适当的身体姿势很重要。”符合题意。故选F。 5．上文“Slowing your speed helps prevent injuries by spreading stress to different areas of your body and reducing the effect on joints. Moreover, slow jogging is a good exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs.(放慢速度有助于通过将压力分散到身体的不同部位并减少对关节的影响来防止受伤。此外，慢跑是增强心脏和肺部的良好运动。)”讲述了慢跑的好处，空处英语慢跑的其他好处有关，C项“它还有助于在体内更有效地燃烧脂肪。”符合题意。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏扬州·期末） Many medical experts say that walking is an easy way to improve physical and mental health. Walking is a great first step toward a healthy life though other forms of exercise are also important. “You don’t need equipment. 6 ” Dr. Sarah Eby, a sports doctor said, “And the benefits are huge.” She recommends that adults get at least two and a half hours of suitable-level physical activity every week. Walking helps achieve that. It lowers the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, anxiety and many kinds of cancer. 7 Anita Gust teaches exercise science at the University of Minnesota Crookston. Gust said walking “is not enough for overall health and well-being” because it does not provide training that builds muscle strength. 8 These could include using weights, gym equipment or one’s own body for exercises. Training that improves flexibility, like yoga or stretching, can also be helpful. Many people have heard about the walking goal of 10,000 steps a day. 9 The average American walks about 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, and it is fine to increase that number to 10,000. Setting a time goal can also be useful. Eby suggests dividing the recommended 150 minutes a week into 30 minutes a day, or 10 minutes three times a day, for five days. In a few months, they will become experienced walkers. 10 “If you can talk but not sing,” Eby said, “that’s what we consider suitable-level exercise.” A．Some say walking is not enough. B．You don’t need a gym membership. C．To keep walking, you need to find a partner. D．However, experts say that this is only a suggestion. E．Experts recommend adding other activities twice a week. F．Then they can speed up while still keeping the exercise level suitable. G．Walking also helps blood sugar levels and can help people lose weight. 【答案】6．B 7．A 8．E 9．D 10．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了散步这一简单易行的锻炼方式对身体和心理健康的益处，同时也指出了仅靠散步可能不足以维持全面健康，专家还给出了其他锻炼的建议以及设定步行目标和时间目标的方法。 6．上文“You don’t need equipment.(你不需要设备)”指出散步不需要设备，B选项“You don’t need a gym membership.(你不需要健身房会员资格)”与上文句式一致，进一步说明散步不需要额外的条件，即不需要健身房会员资格，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 7．下文“Gust said walking ‘is not enough for overall health and well-being’ because it does not provide training that builds muscle strength.(古斯特说，散步“对整体健康和幸福来说是不够的”，因为它没有提供增强肌肉力量的训练)”指出散步对于整体健康和幸福来说是不够的，A选项“Some say walking is not enough.(有人说散步是不够的)”引出下文，下文是对选项的具体说明。故选A项。 8．下文“These could include using weights, gym equipment or one’s own body for exercises.(这些可能包括使用重量、健身设备或自己的身体进行锻炼)”指出除了散步外，还可以使用其他方式进行锻炼，E选项“Experts recommend adding other activities twice a week.(专家建议每周增加两次其他活动)”引出下文，说明专家建议除了散步外，还应增加其他锻炼活动，下文“These”指代选项中“other activities”。故选E项。 9．上文“Many people have heard about the walking goal of 10,000 steps a day.(很多人都听说过每天走10000步的目标)”提到很多人都知道每天走10000步的目标，D选项“However, experts say that this is only a suggestion.(然而，专家说这只是一个建议)”与上文构成转折关系，指出这个目标只是一个建议，并非必须达到的标准，下文“The average American walks about 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, and it is fine to increase that number to 10,000.(美国人平均每天走3000到4000步，把这个数字增加到10000步也没问题)”进一步说明这一点。故选D项。 10．上文“In a few months, they will become experienced walkers.(几个月后，他们就会成为有经验的步行者)”指出坚持几个月后，人们就会成为有经验的步行者，F选项“Then they can speed up while still keeping the exercise level suitable.(然后他们可以加快速度，同时保持适当的锻炼水平)”承接上文，说明成为有经验的步行者后，可以加快步行速度，同时保持适当的锻炼水平，下文“‘If you can talk but not sing,’ Eby said, ‘that’s what we consider suitable-level exercise.’(“如果你能说话但不能唱歌，”埃比说，“这就是我们认为的适合水平的锻炼。”)”对适合水平的锻炼进行了解释说明。故选F项。 主题02 人与自我——方法/策略 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） Good Reasons to Keep a Diary Some call it a diary.

It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. 3 That seems to be because of the way our species has evolved. 4 So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. Generally speaking, many evolutionary biologists have concluded that we age simply because the driving force of evolution, known as natural selection, hasn’t selected for fitness and function at an older age. Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. 5 Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. These animals age very slowly and typically die from non-age related events such as being killed by other animals, disease or natural disasters. A．What is aging and why do we get older? B．Is this because cells gradually lose some genetic information? C．In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. D．You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. E．After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. F．A study found that we can stop aging but we have to reach 105 years old first. G．Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．E 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出衰老不可避免但人类平均寿命因医学进步而延长，并探讨了衰老的本质及原因，还说明人类并非唯一有衰老现象的物种，但一些冷血动物衰老缓慢。 1．前文“Can we live forever? (我们能永远活着吗)”提出永生的问题，后文段落围绕衰老的概念、人类衰老的原因等展开论述，因此A项“What is aging and why do we get older? (什么是衰老以及我们为什么会变老)”符合语境，就衰老的本质和原因提出问题，承接前文，引出后文关于衰老的具体讨论。故选A。 2．前文“Back in 1950, the global average lifespan was only 45 years . (回到1950年，全球平均寿命只有45岁)”提到1950年全球的平均寿命；后文“We can mainly thank the advancement of medicine for letting us live longer (我们主要要感谢先进的医学让我们活得更久)”提到寿命的延长主要得益于医学进步；因此C项“In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. (相比之下，现在全球平均寿命超过70岁)”点明当前全球的平均寿命，和前文形成比较，引出后文的原因，符合语境。故选C。 3．前文“It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. (人们普遍认为，一旦我们快30岁了，我们就会发生进入衰老的变化，这意味着‘变老的过程’)”指出快30岁时人开始进入衰老阶段，因此E项“After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. (在那之后，我们的身体维持生物系统的效率会降低)”承接前文，说明进入衰老阶段后身体的变化，符合语境，其中的that指代前文的our late 20s。故选E。 4．后文“So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. (因此，就像任何机器一样，如果你保持身体充足的能量和保养，你就可以长生不老，这可能是有道理的)”提到人如何像机器一样保持不衰老，因此D项“You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. (你可能会说一些无生命的机器能比人类持续更久)”符合语境，提到有些机器比人活得更久，引出后文，适合作为段首句。故选D。 5．前文“Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. (当然，人类在这方面并不孤单)”指出人类的衰老并非个例，后文“Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. (许多冷血物种，如蜥蜴，保持着它们的健康和繁殖能力，被认为没有明显的衰老)”举出没有明显衰老的物种，因此G项“Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. (其他物种也进化出了类似的生殖生命周期——但并非所有物种都是如此)”承前启后，指出有些物种也会衰老，同时存在不衰老的物种，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 2 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them. 6 While you will not achieve major weight loss without proper diet and exercise, there are a few things you can do to slim your stomach line without heading to the gym or starving yourself. Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer. When it comes to reducing your stomach line, it’s not all about how much you eat, but also about what you eat. Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal. 7 Get enough sleep. Sleeping doesn’t burn fat on its own, but it’s an important part of weight loss efforts. When you aren’t well-rested, it’s hard to motivate yourself to move. 8 You’ re more likely to eat junk food like hot dogs and fried chicken when you’ re tired out. 9 Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge-drinking, and watching hour after hour of television. Start recording your weight. Some nutrition experts suggest that having a clear idea of your own weight can promote healthy living. 10 If the numbers start to go up, you’ll know that it’s time to reconsider your habits. A．It’s also hard to control desires for food. B．Find a fitness-positive support network. C．Many people are worried about their weight. D．Keeping a record of your weight really works. E．Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of processed snacks. F．The number you get will be close to your “true” average weight. G．Instead of these foods, focus on other choices that offer long-term satisfaction. 【答案】6．C 7．G 8．A 9．B 10．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了如何在不去健身房或节食的情况下减掉腹部赘肉。 6．根据空格前的句子“Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them.(减肥是一个流行的健身目标：超过一半的美国人将其列为重要目标)”可知，超过一半的美国人将减肥列为重要目标。这说明他们担心他们的体重问题，所以C项“Many people are worried about their weight.(很多人都担心自己的体重)”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选C项。 7．该部分的主题句“Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer.(选择那些能让你长时间保持饱腹感的食物)”建议你选择那些能让你长时间保持饱腹感的食物。而空格前的句子“Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal.(某些食物会给你短暂的能量和满足感，但会让你在下一餐之前感到饥饿)”提到的是给你短暂的能量和满足感的事物。所以，空格处的句子承接上文提出的问题并提供解决方案。所以，G项“Instead of these foods, focus on other choices that offer long-term satisfaction.(专注于其他提供长期满足感的选择，而不是这些食物)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。 8．根据空格后的句子“You’ re more likely to eat junk food like hot dogs and fried chicken when you’ re tired out.(当你累的时候，你更有可能吃像热狗和炸鸡这样的垃圾食品)”可知，当你累的时候，更容易吃些垃圾食品，也就是说你很难控制自己的食欲，所以，A项“It’s also hard to control desires for food.(对食物的欲望也很难控制)”填入空格处和下文是顺接关系，符合下文的困倦容易导致垃圾食品摄入。故选A项。 9．空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge-drinking, and watching hour after hour of television.(努力花时间和有健康生活方式的人在一起，比如散步、运动、骑自行车、做有营养的家常菜等等。少和那些有不健康嗜好的人呆在一起，比如吃垃圾食品、酗酒、一小时一小时看电视)”可知，该部分主要是建议你和那些有健康生活方式的人在一起，因为他们可以为你的减肥提供支持。所以，B项“Find a fitness-positive support network.(找到一个积极健身的支持网络)”可以作为该部分的主题句填入空格处。故选B项。 10．根据该部分的主题句“Start recording your weight.(开始记录你的体重)”和空格后的句子“If the numbers start to go up, you’ll know that it’s time to reconsider your habits.(如果数字开始上升，你就知道是时候重新考虑你的习惯了)”可知，空格处的句子应该是说记录体重的作用。所以D项“Keeping a record of your weight really works.(记录你的体重真的很有效)”填入空格处，符合追踪体重变化的建议。故选D项。 主题04 人与社会——电影与戏剧 Passage 1 （24-25高一上·江苏南通·期末） What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs that you don’t see coming. 1 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 2 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 3 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 4 As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? 5 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to. All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic. A．The end involves the issues being resolved. B．Don’t forget to focus on character development. C．In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed. D．If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film. E．But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow. F．Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay. G．Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电影制作中优秀叙事的一些技巧和要点。 1．上文“Great movies can throw curveballs that you don’t see coming.(伟大的电影会打出你意想不到的曲线球)”说明伟大的电影会有意想不到的情节，空处承接上文，对上文进行补充说明，E选项“但它们有一个结构，不会让人太困惑。”中的“they”指代上文“Great movies”，与前一句形成对比关系，强调这些伟大的电影虽然情节出乎意料，但结构清晰，不会让人困惑，符合语境。故选E。 2．上文“The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story.(任何类型的故事讲述的标准结构都是在开头介绍你的角色、背景和类型。任何问题都应该在故事的中间部分出现)”说明故事的基本结构，包括开头介绍角色、背景和类型，中间遇到问题，空处承接上文，说明故事最后要解决的问题，A选项“结尾包括问题的解决。”说明结尾部分涉及解决问题，符合逻辑顺序。故选A。 3．上文“With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly.(有了清晰的结构，你应该考虑如何迅速吸引观众的注意力)”及下文“Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast.(你的故事可能很精彩，但如果进入主题太慢，你可能在还没开始的时候就失去了观众。竞争如此激烈，你需要快速行动)”说明该段落开始讨论如何快速抓住观众的注意力，并指出在竞争激烈的环境中需要迅速行动，故事要快速进入主题，吸引观众，空处引出下文，应与现代社会竞争激烈和快节奏有关，C选项“在现代社会，一切都以很快的速度进行。”提到现代社会节奏快，与本段的主题相吻合。故选C。 4．上文“Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages.(让别人读你的剧本，问问他们是否想在10页后继续读下去)”建议让别人读你的剧本并询问他们是否愿意继续阅读下去，空处承接上文，对上文进行假设说明，D选项“如果是这样，继续阅读的愿望在你的电影中可能会强烈十倍。”进一步强调如果剧本能够引起这种愿望，那么在电影中这种愿望会更加强烈，呼应上文，符合语境。故选D。 5．上文“As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important. 1 How can I maintain those friendships? According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect. 2 But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 3 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 4 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them. 5 A．Making new friends takes time. B．And time will show you who cares. C．And the focus here is on quality time. D．So I’m wondering what is manageable? E．Is there a way to follow for making new friends? F．And we lose half of our friends every seven years. G．I don’t think there’s a secret to keeping friendships, either. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者结合自己由于经常搬家难以维持友谊的经历，探讨了该如何维持友情。研究表明，友谊的消失往往因为缺乏见面和交流的机会，建立友谊需要高质量的时间，而作者认为真正的朋友不会因为时间和距离而消失。 1．根据上文“I’ve moved about 20 times in my life. And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important.(我这辈子搬了大约20次家。每次我搬到一个新的地方，似乎越来越难保持我留下的友谊。但现在，保持这些友谊似乎尤为重要)”以及后文“How can I maintain those friendships?(我怎样才能维持这些友谊？)”可知，本句与后文并列，都是作者在反问自己如何维持友谊的问题。故D选项“所以我想知道什么是可管理的？”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据上文“According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect.(根据一项研究，友谊经常因为缺乏见面、闲逛和联系的机会而消失)”以及后文“But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later.(但实际上，事情并不像听起来那么令人沮丧。我们朋友圈的规模没有改变。然而，其中52%的面孔在七年后会有所不同)”可知，后文提到了52%的朋友在七年后会有所不同；F选项“我们每七年就会失去一半的朋友”承接上文，进一步描述友谊可能消失的情况，选项中lose half of our friends every seven years与下文中“52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later”相对应。故选F。 3．后文“A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together.(最近的一项研究发现，你必须花40到60个小时和一个人在一起，才能把一个熟人变成普通朋友。要成为最好的朋友，你们至少要共度200个小时的美好时光)”主要介绍了结交朋友需要的时间问题。故A选项“结交新朋友需要时间”符合语境，起到引领下文的作用，故选A。 4．根据上文“To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together.(要成为最好的朋友，你们至少要共度200个小时的高质量时光)”以及后文“You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner.(你可能每天早上都对邻居说‘嗨’，或者对同事彬彬有礼，但你不一定会邀请他们过来吃晚饭)”可知，上文提到了成为最好的朋友需要共度高质量时光，C选项“这里的重点是高质量的时间”承接上文，强调“高质量时间”对于建立真正友谊的重要性。符合语境，故选C。 5．上文“But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them?
