How to Keep a Long-Distance Friendship
Perhaps a friend you’ve known for years has moved away, or you’ve made a new friend from another part of the world. Don’t let distance stop you from staying close. Here are some tips on how to stay in touch.
Write letters. Receiving a letter from someone you care about can brighten your friend’s day. While technology makes it easy to stay in touch, writing a letter shows how much you value the relationship. You don’t need to write a long letter. 1
Share a show. Do you both enjoy a specific TV show? Although you can’t watch it together, you can agree to watch it at the same time and discuss it later. 2 After talking about the show, you can share others in your lives. 3 There are many interesting things about where your friend is from. If you get the chance to visit, explore together. Your friend might enjoy showing you around. This can deepen your understanding of their life and create shared memories.
Think of your friend. 4 Maybe you saw a video or heard their favorite song on the radio. Use these moments to reach out with a simple message like, “Hi, I just saw/heard this, and it reminded me of you.” Such conversations keep your connection strong and remind them that they are in your mind.
Make the effort to reconnect. Sometimes, distance leads to losing touch. It’s natural to feel awkward about regaining the friendship. 5 Send a message saying you’ve been thinking about them and wondering how they are doing. They will likely be thrilled to hear from you.
A.But it’s never too late.
B.Explore with them together.
C.Learn about their hometown.
D.Postcards are a lovely way to stay connected.
E.Has something you did recently reminded you of your friend?
F.This helps you stay in touch and provides a topic for conversation.
G.This makes you feel cared about despite the distance between you.

Passage 2
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Part of being a friend to someone means sometimes helping them through a hard time. 1 And the rejected often turn to their closest friends for comfort and direction. While it may be a difficult task, there are various ways to make our friends feel better.
2 They will have successes in the future, and while you understand that what they’re feeling now is very real and upsetting, it will fade with time. You can advise them to use positive affirmations instead of negative self-talk and remind them that rejection is an opportunity to grow and learn.
One of the worst mistakes we can make as friends is to try to make someone feel better by overshadowing (弱化) their experience with our own. 3 But you had better not cover it with your own. This can make them feel like their feelings are ignored. Don’t tell them to “just get over it” either. 4
When a person has suffered a rejection, it can feel like that is the only thing happening in their life at the moment. While it’s okay for someone to focus on a rejection a little bit, turning completely inward and wallowing is a slippery slope into depression. 5 Take them to a movie or for a hike. Spend an afternoon in your favorite shops trying out new looks or volunteering for a cause you both feel passionately about.
A.You can relate to your friend’s experience.
B.You can help them improve the bad situation.
C.Being rejected can feel like the end of the world.
D.Get your friend out of the house to do something they enjoy.
E.Your friend has a right to feel upset in this moment of rejection.
F.When they’re nervous, they can’t see that good things are still possible.
G.Remind your friend that what they’re feeling now will eventually pass.
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.A 4.E 5.D

Developing organization skills can also involve being able to create a better study environment. When you are studying, having a desk that is organized can actually help you remember information better. 3 By organizing your study desk, you will be able to free up your mind in order to focus solely on what you need focus on.

Passage 1
(23-24高一上·浙江嘉兴·期末)
The lost joy of postcards
Trust me on this, traveler: Sending picture postcards to friends and family spreads joy back home and in the process shows aspects of your destination you’d otherwise miss. 1
You’ve already guessed, from your own mailbox perhaps, that sending picture postcards is a dying art. 2 These days fewer than 5 million are sold, and many of these are for souvenirs (纪念品), not mailing. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are responsible.
I avoid social media, mostly on sociopolitical grounds. So instead of brag (吹嘘) posts of my travels, I let people know where I am and that I’m thinking of them by sending postcards. And not just any postcards. 3 Whatever the subject, they have to be of highest quality, not the 10 for $1 variety.
4 Because that’s impersonal (无人情味的). Because your friends haven’t received one in years. Send to delight them! To surprise them! To be different from the crowd on social media.
Well, what to write once you’ve gotten the cards and the stamps? Here’s the thing: postcards are small. It’s the thought that counts, truly. 5 Maybe you won’t be traveling for a while, but so what? Send a postcard from wherever you are. The “like” and smile you’ll get will be just as warm.
A.I shop for them with an authority’s eyes.
B.Postcard senders also learn a lot about hotel culture.
C.I know this because I am an addictive picture postcard sender.
D.Years ago, tens of millions of them were sent worldwide yearly.
E.It’s puzzling how different the prices to send a postcard abroad are.
F.The receivers will be surprised and pleased no matter what you write.
G.Why send them when a big hello on Instagram to everyone you know is so easy?
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 4.G 5.F
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文叙述了作者是个痴迷的照片明信片发送者以及其原因,作者呼吁人们寄送明信片。
1.根据上文“Trust me on this, traveler: Sending picture postcards to friends and family spreads joy back home and in the process shows aspects of your destination you’d otherwise miss.”(旅行者们,请相信我:给朋友和家人寄照片明信片能在家乡传播快乐,并在这个过程中展示出你原本会错过的目的地的一些方面。)可知,选项承接上文解释其原因。故C选项“我知道这一点,因为我是一个痴迷的照片明信片发送者。”故选C项。
2.根据下文“These days fewer than 5 million are sold, and many of these are for souvenirs (纪念品), not mailing.”(如今,售出的数量不到500万,其中许多都是纪念品,而不是明信片。)可知,选项承接下文说明几年前的情况来对比现在。故D选项“几年前,每年有数以千万计的明信片被发送到世界各地。”切题。故选D项。
3.根据上文“And not just any postcards.”(而且不是普通的明信片)根据下文“Whatever the subject, they have to be of highest quality, not the 10 for $1 variety”(无论什么主题,它们都必须是最高质量的,而不是1美元10个的那种。)可知,作者不是随便就买明信片,而是以专业的角度去购买。故A选项“我是用权威的眼光买的明信片。”。故选A项。
4.根据下文“Because that’s impersonal (无人情味的).”(因为那是没有人情味的。)可知,下文的because回答上文的原因。故G选项“当在Instagram上向你认识的每个人打招呼这么容易的时候,为什么要发送它们呢?”切题。故选G项。
5.根据上文“Here’s the thing: postcards are small. It’s the thought that counts, truly.”(问题是:明信片很小。真正重要的是心意。)可知,收件人会感到快乐和惊讶。故F选项“无论你写什么,收件人会感到快乐和惊讶。”切题。故选F项。
主题03 人与自我——生活与学习
Passage 1
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
A gym membership can be nice. 1 All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 2
Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 3 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise.
4 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance.
Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 5 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly.
A.After all, we work out to build our muscles.
B.Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan.
C.But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape.
D.For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run.
E.Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout.
F.Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal.
G.Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.G 4.E 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何制定一个居家健身的计划。
1.前文“A gym membership can be nice. (健身会员卡是不错的选择)”指出有健身会员卡是不错的,后文“All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. (你所需要的只是在家里给自己一点时间和空间)”说明在家锻炼也很好,因此C项“But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. (但你不一定非要有一个才能保持好身材)”符合语境,说明健身会员卡并非保持好身材的必需品,和前文构成转折,引出后文的观点,其中的one指代前文的A gym membership。故选C。
2.前文“Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. (做一个循序渐进的有氧运动,使用你想锻炼的肌肉)”建议循序渐进地开展有氧运动,因此D项“For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. (例如,如果你要跑地更远,就慢慢地跑)”符合语境,举出有氧运动中跑步的例子,承接前文的建议。故选D。
3.前文“Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). (力量训练,也称为阻力训练,使你更强壮,培养耐力)”介绍力量训练的概念和作用,后文“This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. (这有助于你在每次锻炼时都能进行更难的锻炼)”指出一个做法的好处,因此G项“Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. (试着做一些锻炼身体各个部位的运动,让你感觉更强壮)”符合语境,建议如何做力量训练,承接前文的介绍,引出后文的好处,后文的This指代选项内容。故选G。
4.空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. (当你完成最后一组运动时,你可能急于停止锻炼,但是花几分钟做一些低强度的运动,降低你的心率)”可知,本段建议在最后做低强度的运动,因此E项“Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. (每次锻炼后花5到10分钟做放松练习)”符合语境,契合段落内容,其中的cooling down和后文的low-intensity exercises呼应。故选E。
5.前文“It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. (说你想健身是一回事,但这对每个人来说都意味着不同的东西)”指出健身实际上因人而异,后文“It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. (它应该是具体的、现实的、有意义的)”说明一个事物的标准,因此F项“Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. (弄清楚你计划实现什么,并把它作为你的目标)”符合语境,建议设定自己的目标,承接前文,引出后文的标准,后文的It指代其中的your goal。故选F。
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Exercise is necessary for keeping a healthy body and mind. 1 However, sometimes even those who exercise regularly may not be aware of certain tips. Here are several exercise tips.
2 Doing the same exercises over and over again can lead to a plateau (瓶颈期) in your progress. Mix up your daily exercise by trying something new or varying the intensity (强度) length of your exercises. It can help keep you challenged, pushing your body to continually adapt to new movement patterns, thus enabling your fitness results to continue to improve.
Get enough rest. Rest is important for muscle recovery and to avoid injuries. 3 And include rest days into your exercise plan to allow your body time to recover. This ensures best fitness gains and reduces the risk of over-training.
Set realistic goals. Setting realistic goals can help cheer you on and ensure that you stay on track with your fitness journey. 4 Instead of saying “I want to get fit”, understand exactly what that means for you. Having a clear view of your desired outcome will make it easier to create a plan and stay focused.
Make it fun. 5 Instead, you can turn it into a fun and rewarding experience. Find activities that you actually enjoy such as dancing or hiking and include them into your exercise plan. After all, making exercise fun can be the only thing to help lift your spirits and make you interested.
A.Try mindful movement.
B.Mix your exercises.
C.Be specific about what you want to achieve.
D.Aim to get at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
E.Exercise doesn’t have to be something you hate doing.
F.It can help reduce stress, improve mood, and prevent chronic (慢性的) diseases.

Four Tips for Using Less Plastic(塑料)
As we all know, the world has a plastic problem — and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable(生物可降解的). 1
Quit using plastic bags. 2 People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year About 10 percent a reused in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Danish uses four single-use bags per year. Today, other countries (such as Germany and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags or have stopped using them completely.
3 Today, around 8 3 billion plastic straws(吸管) pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U. S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of drink you like. Some cities, like Bundanoon in Australia and San Francisco in the U. S., have completely or partially(部分地) started quitting bottled water 4 .
Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. 5 They also want to tax plastic take out containers.
A.Don’t use plastic straws.
B.Don’t pollute the beaches.
C.Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store.
D.Therefore, pollution has been largely decreased across the world.
E.In the U. K., leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas.
F.Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.
G.But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.

Passage 1
(23-24高一上·浙江金华·期末)
Team building activities can make a great difference when it comes to job satisfaction and organizational success. 1 The following tips will make your teamwork together more effectively.
Set the team’s goal
Studies have shown that teams work better when each member is aware of the goal. Before the team sets up, have a meeting to create a list of the goals that can help reach the end goal. 2 As a result, they will feel more involved, as they’ve been part of the whole process.
Solve problems immediately
Effective teambuilding requires an environment where problems are quickly dealt with. It’s wise to send a management team for solving problems. Furthermore, according to one social experiment, a “bad apple” can ruin a whole team. So it might be important to ensure one team member isn’t ruining the effort. 3 Unfortunately, letting the person drop out of the team can be the only choice in certain cases.
4
It’s useful to get the team from everyday surroundings and into somewhere unexpected. This can improve creativity, but also help build a closer relationship within the team. You could hold team meetings at a cafe, at the company lawn, or even at museums or amusement parks.
Bring humour to team work
The saying “Laughter is the best t medicine” definitely holds true in team building. Humor is a great way to relax team members. Bring humor to teamwork through fun cartoons, little jokes and even series of fun video clips. 5 Too much humor can take the focus away from the real work.
A.Get outside of the office.
B.Have teams take a break.
C.But you should find a balance.
D.What’s the solution if this is the case?
E.You should stress the positive steps the team has taken.
F.This will lead members to focus in a specific direction to get the expected results.
G.But even with the best intentions, it’s not enough to just bring a group of people together.
【答案】1.G 2.F 3.D 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何使你的团队合作更有效提出建议。
1.上文“Team building activities can make a great difference when it comes to job satisfaction and organizational success.(当涉及到工作满意度和组织成功时,团队建设活动会产生很大的影响)”提出团队建设的作用,G项“But even with the best intentions, it’s not enough to just bring a group of people together.(但即使有最好的意图,仅仅把一群人聚集在一起是不够的)”承接上文,补充说明团队建设不仅仅是把人聚集在一起,进而引出下文“The following tips will make your teamwork together more effectively.(下面的建议将使你的团队合作更有效)”中提到的策略,上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
2.上文“Before the team sets up, have a meeting to create a list of the goals that can help reach the end goal.(在团队成立之前,召开一次会议,列出有助于实现最终目标的目标清单)”强调团队成立前要设立目标,F项“This will lead members to focus in a specific direction to get the expected results.(这将引导成员专注于一个特定的方向,以获得预期的结果)”承接上文,说明设立目标的作用:引导成员专注于一个特定的方向,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。
3.下文“Unfortunately, letting the person drop out of the team can be the only choice in certain cases.(不幸的是,在某些情况下,让这个人退出团队可能是唯一的选择)”提出让成员退出团队来解决问题,是对D项“What’s the solution if this is the case?(如果遇到这种情况,解决办法是什么?)”问题的回答,同时D项中“the case”照应上文中“a “bad apple” can ruin a whole team”,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
4.设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“It’s useful to get the team from everyday surroundings and into somewhere unexpected. This can improve creativity, but also help build a closer relationship within the team. You could hold team meetings at a cafe, at the company lawn, or even at museums or amusement parks.(把团队从日常环境带到意想不到的地方是很有用的。这可以提高创造力,也有助于在团队中建立更紧密的关系。你可以在咖啡馆、公司草坪、甚至博物馆或游乐园举行团队会议)”可知,本段建议把团队带出办公室,所以A项“Get outside of the office.(走出办公室)”是最佳小标题。故选A项。
5.上文“Bring humor to teamwork through fun cartoons, little jokes and even series of fun video clips.(通过有趣的卡通,小笑话,甚至一系列有趣的视频剪辑带来幽默的团队合作)”提出用幽默来促进团队合作,但下文“Too much humor can a take the focus away from the real work.(太多的幽默会把人们的注意力从真正的工作上转移开)”指出太多的幽默会带来负面影响,所以C项“But you should find a balance.(但你应该找到一个平衡点)”提出要找到平衡点的建议,上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Criticism is never fun. If it is helpful, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How do you deal with it? 1
Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback, you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. 2
See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. 3 If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something.
4 If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional.
Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive (戒备的) and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. 5
A.Make yourself a better person.
B.The following tips can be helpful.
C.Thank the person for being honest.
D.Most people are able to deal with criticism properly.
E.It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before.
F.But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect.
G.If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should.
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.E 4.C 5.F

1.根据上文“Criticism is never fun. If it is helpful, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How do you deal with it? (批评从来都不好玩。如果它是有帮助的,那么你可以用它来成为一个更全面的人。如果它只是为了伤害你,那么你可以把它当作一个坏习惯来摆脱。你是怎么处理的?)”可知,文章接下来会给出一些应对批评的建议。由此可知,B. The following tips can be helpful.(下面的建议可能会有帮助)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
2.根据上文“Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback, you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages.(接受你并不完美的事实。这是处理批评的好方法。为了能够得到一些反馈,你不能一直认为自己不会犯错。没有人是完美的,所以如果你认为自己是完美的,那你就什么都不是。每个人都有缺点)”可知,没有人是完美的,任何人都有缺点,如果你看不到自己的缺点,说明你没有足够仔细地分析自己。由此可知,G. If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should.(如果你没有看到自己的任何缺点,你就没有像你应该的那样仔细分析自己)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。
3.根据上文“See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words.(看看这是不是真的。如果反馈来自于一个最关心你的人,那么你必须考虑这些话是否真的有一些道理)”及下文“If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something.(如果十个人都说你自私,那他们不可能都是错的,对吧?花点时间考虑一下这个人是否真的有道理)”可知,如果多次听到对你类似的批评,更应该认真对待。由此可知,E. It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before.(如果你之前听过类似的评论,那么这种可能性更大)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
4.根据下文“If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional.(如果你收到了一些以友好和有益的方式提出的批评,或者只是以诚实和清晰的方式提出的批评,那就花点时间感谢这个人,并说你很感激这个人告诉你一些可以让你成为更好的朋友、学生或专业人士的事情)”可知,我们要感谢对你坦诚相待的人。由此可知,C. Thank the person for being honest.(感谢这个人的诚实)能够引领下文,符合语境。故选C。
5.根据上文“Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive (戒备的) and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong.(不要再找借口了。如果有人给你合理的批评,不要再找借口了。如果你有戒心并找借口,那么对方就无法把他或她的意思确切地告诉你,你也无法得到你需要的信息来真正改进。我们很自然地会感到自我防卫,觉得自己不会做错)”可知,此处强调要听完别人的批评,而不是急于找借口证明自己是对的。由此可知,F. But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect.(但在你打断别人的谈话以证明你是完美的之前,倾听他们的意见是很重要的)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选。故选F。

4.后文“Adult life can come with a lot of responsibilities. Sometimes, you may need to take a step back and give yourself a break. It’s advisable to embrace your silly side. Success in life doesn’t have to mean striving for perfection. This intense self-judgment leads to stress and unrealistic standards. (成年人的生活可能伴随着很多责任。有时候,你可能需要退一步,让自己休息一下。接受你愚蠢的一面是明智的。人生的成功并不一定意味着追求完美。这种强烈的自我判断会导致压力和不切实际的标准)”主要建议不必追求完美,要接受自己愚蠢的一面,因此A项“Take yourself less seriously (对自己不要太严苛)”符合语境,契合此段内容,和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。故选A。
5.前文“So, laugh at the little mistakes. (所以,对小错误一笑置之)”建议不必在意小错误,因此F项“Embracing imperfections allows self-acceptance and promotes growth (拥抱不完美可以让你接受自我,促进成长)”符合语境,指出拥抱不完美的好处,承接前文。故选F。

Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches. 3
4 If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. 5
A.Don’t take a too long trip at a time.
B.Make sure that your body is prepared.
C.You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.

(如果你很长一段时间没有锻炼,不要试图在一年中最热的一天去登山8英里,相反,你应该慢慢开始。首先,定期在你家附近散步。接下来,你应该试着在陡峭的山坡或多岩石的土壤上找地方散步。)”可知本段讲要确保身体已经做好准备,不要突然进行高强度的锻炼,B选项“确保你的身体准备好了。”符合本段题意,故选B。
5.根据上文“First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. (首先,在你的社区进行定期散步。接下来,你应该试着在陡峭的山坡或岩石上走路。)”由此可知,此段主要强调的是循序渐进地锻炼,可推断下文是这样做的益处。选项G“经过足够的练习,你将能够进行更长时间的徒步旅行,穿越更具挑战性的风景。”符合题意,故选G。
Passage 4
(24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末)
For many, life may be a struggle. You might find yourself feeling fine one minute, only to be filled with anxiety the next. This is all pretty normal, but it can be tiring. 1 Even the worst ones!
●Low times matter.
We’d all love to be happy 100% of the time, but that’s not realistic. 2 “Let’s not forget that if we didn’t experience low times, we’d never fully appreciate the highs,” says clinical therapist Kate Morris-Bates, the founder of InsideOut Wellness.
● 3
The University of California’s study found that on rainy days, people remembered details better than on sunny days when their memory was less accurate. “People having negative emotions (情绪) are more focused and thoughtful than those having positive ones,” explains Kate. “Research shows that we are less likely to make mistakes in our memories when we are in a bad mood.”
●Negativity makes us focus.
If we are too optimistic, there’s a chance we can leave ourselves open to danger. Kate says that if a situation has a big risk, a pessimist (悲观主义者) is more likely to think about the worst. 4 Then we should think if we are using our optimism or pessimism well.
How can you handle your anger? Rather than refuse it, be open to the emotion. Use it to understand what makes you angry and improve your response. One way of doing this is to keep a journal. Every time you feel angry, write down your feelings in whatever form comes to you — single words, full sentences, or even simple drawings. 5 It will help you to understand them better.
A.Anger leads to action.
B.Sadness improves memory.
C.Here are some tips for you.
D.This allows you to be true to your feelings.
E.What is possible, however, is to rethink negative emotions.
F.She suggests that first we should always check our responses to a situation.
G.Therefore, it’s important to recognise and accept your thoughts and feelings.
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.B 4.F 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要指出情绪充满起伏是正常的,但重新思考负面情绪、接受并理解它们很重要,悲伤和消极情绪在某些情况下能提高专注力和记忆力,而控制愤怒则可以通过接纳情绪和记录感受来实现。
1.前文“You might find yourself feeling fine one minute, only to be filled with anxiety the next. This is all pretty normal, but it can be tiring. (你可能会发现自己前一分钟还感觉良好,下一分钟就充满了焦虑。这一切都很正常,但也可能让人感到疲惫)”提到情绪变化很正常,但会让人疲惫,后文“Even the worst ones! (即使是最糟糕的)”提到最糟糕的某种事物,因此G项“Therefore, it’s important to recognise and accept your thoughts and feelings. (因此,认识并接受自己的想法和感受是很重要的)”符合语境,指出需要认识并接受自己的想法和感受,和前文是因果关系,后文是对其补充说明,后文的the worst ones指“最糟糕的想法和感受”。故选G。
2.前文“We’d all love to be happy 100% of the time, but that’s not realistic. (我们都希望每时每刻都快乐,但这并不现实)”提到人不可能一直快乐,后文““Let’s not forget that if we didn’t experience low times, we’d never fully appreciate the highs,” says clinical therapist Kate Morris-Bates, the founder of InsideOut Wellness. (“我们不要忘记,如果没有经历过低谷,我们就永远不会完全欣赏高峰,”InsideOut Wellness的创始人、临床治疗师Kate Morris-Bates说道)”解释因为低谷的存在,人才能欣赏高峰,因此E项“What is possible, however, is to rethink negative emotions. (然而,有可能的是重新思考负面情绪)”符合语境,建议重新思考负面情绪,和前文构成转折,后文是对其解释。故选E。
3.后文“The University of California’s study found that on rainy days, people remembered details better than on sunny days when their memory was less accurate. “People having negative emotions (情绪) are more focused and thoughtful than those having positive ones,” explains Kate. (加州大学的研究发现,在下雨天,人们对细节的记忆力比晴天更好,而晴天的记忆力则不那么准确。Kate解释说:“有负面情绪的人比那些有积极情绪的人更专注、更深思熟虑。”)”主要说明雨天情绪低落时人的记忆力更为准确,因此B项“Sadness improves memory. (悲伤能提高记忆力)”符合语境,指出悲伤和记忆力的关系,契合段落内容,适合作为段落标题。故选B。

(如果我们过于乐观,我们就有可能把自己置于危险之中。Kate说,如果情况有很大的风险,悲观主义者更有可能想到最坏的情况)”提到乐观可能招致危险,而悲观主义更利于防范风险,后文“Then we should think if we are using our optimism or pessimism well. (然后我们应该思考我们是否很好地利用了我们的乐观或悲观)”提到接着的步骤是思考对乐观或悲观的利用情况,因此F项“She suggests that first we should always check our responses to a situation.

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·浙江衢州·期末)
How to Keep a Long-Distance Friendship
Perhaps a friend you’ve known for years has moved away, or you’ve made a new friend from another part of the world. Don’t let distance stop you from staying close. Here are some tips on how to stay in touch.
Write letters. Receiving a letter from someone you care about can brighten your friend’s day. While technology makes it easy to stay in touch, writing a letter shows how much you value the relationship. You don’t need to write a long letter. 1
Share a show. Do you both enjoy a specific TV show? Although you can’t watch it together, you can agree to watch it at the same time and discuss it later. 2 After talking about the show, you can share others in your lives. 3 There are many interesting things about where your friend is from. If you get the chance to visit, explore together. Your friend might enjoy showing you around. This can deepen your understanding of their life and create shared memories.
Think of your friend. 4 Maybe you saw a video or heard their favorite song on the radio. Use these moments to reach out with a simple message like, “Hi, I just saw/heard this, and it reminded me of you.” Such conversations keep your connection strong and remind them that they are in your mind.
Make the effort to reconnect. Sometimes, distance leads to losing touch. It’s natural to feel awkward about regaining the friendship. 5 Send a message saying you’ve been thinking about them and wondering how they are doing. They will likely be thrilled to hear from you.
A.But it’s never too late.
B.Explore with them together.
C.Learn about their hometown.
D.Postcards are a lovely way to stay connected.
E.Has something you did recently reminded you of your friend?
F.This helps you stay in touch and provides a topic for conversation.
G.This makes you feel cared about despite the distance between you.
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Part of being a friend to someone means sometimes helping them through a hard time. 1 And the rejected often turn to their closest friends for comfort and direction. While it may be a difficult task, there are various ways to make our friends feel better.
2 They will have successes in the future, and while you understand that what they’re feeling now is very real and upsetting, it will fade with time. You can advise them to use positive affirmations instead of negative self-talk and remind them that rejection is an opportunity to grow and learn.
One of the worst mistakes we can make as friends is to try to make someone feel better by overshadowing (弱化) their experience with our own. 3 But you had better not cover it with your own. This can make them feel like their feelings are ignored. Don’t tell them to “just get over it” either. 4
When a person has suffered a rejection, it can feel like that is the only thing happening in their life at the moment. While it’s okay for someone to focus on a rejection a little bit, turning completely inward and wallowing is a slippery slope into depression. 5 Take them to a movie or for a hike. Spend an afternoon in your favorite shops trying out new looks or volunteering for a cause you both feel passionately about.
A.You can relate to your friend’s experience.
B.You can help them improve the bad situation.
C.Being rejected can feel like the end of the world.
D.Get your friend out of the house to do something they enjoy.
E.Your friend has a right to feel upset in this moment of rejection.
F.When they’re nervous, they can’t see that good things are still possible.
G.Remind your friend that what they’re feeling now will eventually pass.

The lost joy of postcards
Trust me on this, traveler: Sending picture postcards to friends and family spreads joy back home and in the process shows aspects of your destination you’d otherwise miss. 1
You’ve already guessed, from your own mailbox perhaps, that sending picture postcards is a dying art. 2 These days fewer than 5 million are sold, and many of these are for souvenirs (纪念品), not mailing. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter are responsible.
I avoid social media, mostly on sociopolitical grounds. So instead of brag (吹嘘) posts of my travels, I let people know where I am and that I’m thinking of them by sending postcards. And not just any postcards. 3 Whatever the subject, they have to be of highest quality, not the 10 for $1 variety.
4 Because that’s impersonal (无人情味的). Because your friends haven’t received one in years. Send to delight them! To surprise them! To be different from the crowd on social media.
Well, what to write once you’ve gotten the cards and the stamps? Here’s the thing: postcards are small. It’s the thought that counts, truly. 5 Maybe you won’t be traveling for a while, but so what? Send a postcard from wherever you are. The “like” and smile you’ll get will be just as warm.
A.I shop for them with an authority’s eyes.
B.Postcard senders also learn a lot about hotel culture.
C.I know this because I am an addictive picture postcard sender.
D.Years ago, tens of millions of them were sent worldwide yearly.
E.It’s puzzling how different the prices to send a postcard abroad are.
F.The receivers will be surprised and pleased no matter what you write.
G.Why send them when a big hello on Instagram to everyone you know is so easy?

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
A gym membership can be nice. 1 All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. 2
Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). 3 This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise.
4 You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance.
Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. 5 It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly.
A.After all, we work out to build our muscles.
B.Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan.
C.But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape.
D.For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run.
E.Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout.
F.Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal.
G.Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger.
Passage 2
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Exercise is necessary for keeping a healthy body and mind. 1 However, sometimes even those who exercise regularly may not be aware of certain tips. Here are several exercise tips.
2 Doing the same exercises over and over again can lead to a plateau (瓶颈期) in your progress. Mix up your daily exercise by trying something new or varying the intensity (强度) length of your exercises. It can help keep you challenged, pushing your body to continually adapt to new movement patterns, thus enabling your fitness results to continue to improve.
Get enough rest. Rest is important for muscle recovery and to avoid injuries. 3 And include rest days into your exercise plan to allow your body time to recover. This ensures best fitness gains and reduces the risk of over-training.
Set realistic goals. Setting realistic goals can help cheer you on and ensure that you stay on track with your fitness journey. 4 Instead of saying “I want to get fit”, understand exactly what that means for you. Having a clear view of your desired outcome will make it easier to create a plan and stay focused.
Make it fun. 5 Instead, you can turn it into a fun and rewarding experience. Find activities that you actually enjoy such as dancing or hiking and include them into your exercise plan. After all, making exercise fun can be the only thing to help lift your spirits and make you interested.
A.Try mindful movement.
B.Mix your exercises.
C.Be specific about what you want to achieve.
D.Aim to get at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
E.Exercise doesn’t have to be something you hate doing.
F.It can help reduce stress, improve mood, and prevent chronic (慢性的) diseases.
G.Proper form plays an important role in preventing injury.

Four Tips for Using Less Plastic(塑料)
As we all know, the world has a plastic problem — and it is increasing. Scientists are working to find a long-term solution by making plastic more biodegradable(生物可降解的). 1
Quit using plastic bags. 2 People use a trillion plastic bags worldwide every year About 10 percent a reused in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. In contrast, the average Danish uses four single-use bags per year. Today, other countries (such as Germany and New Zealand) either make customers pay for plastic bags or have stopped using them completely.
3 Today, around 8 3 billion plastic straws(吸管) pollute the world’s beaches. So when you order a drink, say no to the straw, or bring your own reusable one. In 2018, Seattle became the first major U. S. city to ban plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
Don’t use plastic bottles. Buy a reusable bottle and fill it with any type of drink you like. Some cities, like Bundanoon in Australia and San Francisco in the U. S., have completely or partially(部分地) started quitting bottled water 4 .
Avoid plastic packaging. Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables in plastic packaging. 5 They also want to tax plastic take out containers.
A.Don’t use plastic straws.
B.Don’t pollute the beaches.
C.Instead, take your own reusable shopping bag to the store.
D.Therefore, pollution has been largely decreased across the world.
E.In the U. K., leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas.
F.Globally, however, people still buy nearly a million plastic bottles every minute.
G.But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.

Passage 1
(23-24高一上·浙江金华·期末)
Team building activities can make a great difference when it comes to job satisfaction and organizational success. 1 The following tips will make your teamwork together more effectively.
Set the team’s goal
Studies have shown that teams work better when each member is aware of the goal. Before the team sets up, have a meeting to create a list of the goals that can help reach the end goal. 2 As a result, they will feel more involved, as they’ve been part of the whole process.
Solve problems immediately
Effective teambuilding requires an environment where problems are quickly dealt with. It’s wise to send a management team for solving problems. Furthermore, according to one social experiment, a “bad apple” can ruin a whole team. So it might be important to ensure one team member isn’t ruining the effort. 3 Unfortunately, letting the person drop out of the team can be the only choice in certain cases.
4

Passage 1
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)
Criticism is never fun. If it is helpful, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How do you deal with it? 1
Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback, you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. 2
See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. 3 If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something.
4 If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional.
Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive (戒备的) and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. 5

Hiking is a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise. Here are a few simple tips to make sure your next hiking trip is both safe and enjoyable.
Hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. 1 If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.
Have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration (脱水). Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. 2 So make sure to drink your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.
Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches. 3
4 If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. 5
A.Don’t take a too long trip at a time.
B.Make sure that your body is prepared.
C.You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.
D.If you get injured, your friend will be able to go and get help.

G.With enough practice, you will be able to take longer hikes across more challenging landscapes.

(24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末)
For many, life may be a struggle. You might find yourself feeling fine one minute, only to be filled with anxiety the next. This is all pretty normal, but it can be tiring. 1 Even the worst ones!
●Low times matter.
We’d all love to be happy 100% of the time, but that’s not realistic. 2 “Let’s not forget that if we didn’t experience low times, we’d never fully appreciate the highs,” says clinical therapist Kate Morris-Bates, the founder of InsideOut Wellness.
● 3
The University of California’s study found that on rainy days, people remembered details better than on sunny days when their memory was less accurate. “People having negative emotions (情绪) are more focused and thoughtful than those having positive ones,” explains Kate. “Research shows that we are less likely to make mistakes in our memories when we are in a bad mood.”
●Negativity makes us focus.
If we are too optimistic, there’s a chance we can leave ourselves open to danger. Kate says that if a situation has a big risk, a pessimist (悲观主义者) is more likely to think about the worst. 4 Then we should think if we are using our optimism or pessimism well.
How can you handle your anger? Rather than refuse it, be open to the emotion. Use it to understand what makes you angry and improve your response. One way of doing this is to keep a journal. Every time you feel angry, write down your feelings in whatever form comes to you — single words, full sentences, or even simple drawings. 5 It will help you to understand them better.
A.Anger leads to action.
B.Sadness improves memory.
C.Here are some tips for you.
D.This allows you to be true to your feelings.
E.What is possible, however, is to rethink negative emotions.
F.She suggests that first we should always check our responses to a situation.
G.Therefore, it’s important to recognise and accept your thoughts and feelings.
