Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东烟台·期末)
In running, training your body is of great importance. Your lungs, legs and heart do most of the work. 1 Research has shown the incredible influence of mental conditions on performance. Here are some mental techniques to improve your running.
Some runs may be a period of hard work, and the more you try to run through it, the worse you feel. 2 This allows you to feel better the next day. When you let your brain rest, it sets your body up to feel safe. The brain says, “I can listen to my body, and I can take care of my body.” This trust relaxes you, making runs more enjoyable.
Positive self-talk improves performance of runners in hot conditions. It indeed contributes to better results. Interventions (干预) including self-talk training are more effective, which redirect your mind from discomfort, tiredness or other ideas that might get in your way. For example, you think to yourself “I can do this” — you’re actively not thinking or engaging in negative thoughts. 3
If you need to make a run more fun, challenge yourself to a speed play. For example, run slow for 30 seconds, then medium for 10 seconds, then fast for 20 seconds. 4 Try running slowly to one tree, then going at a reasonable pace to a mailbox.
5 When you train your mind, you can make runs that feel great happen more often. When you get home from a successful run, make a note — literally pen to paper or on your phone — of the reasons why it felt good. It will be a reminder of why you started running in the first place.
A.You can also use objects as markers.
B.Give yourself the option to try again.
C.Training your mind is just as essential, though.
D.Preparations before running are really necessary.
E.You’re advised to increase your training intensity.
F.Performing a mental review is strongly recommended.
G.It shuts them off by focusing on something else and quiets anxieties.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)
We all have strengths and weaknesses-that’ s completely normal. In fact, recognizing both helps us understand ourselves better.
Understanding our strengths can help boost our self-confidence. 1 In a journal or on a piece of paper, put the heading “Personal Strengths”. List all the characteristics you are proud of. Are you patient? Hardworking? Honest? It’s important to acknowledge and appreciate your own strengths.
On a separate sheet of paper, write down the heading “Good Deeds”. Think about all the kind things you have done for others. It could be helping a classmate with their studies, offering your seat to someone on the bus, or simply smiling at a stranger. 2
You can also ask a friend or family member to help you with this exercise. 3 Views from others can sometimes reveal your admirable actions. Furthermore, consider discussing any areas where you feel you could improve, as constructive feedback can be invaluable in personal development.
Of course, we all have times when we feel weak and make mistakes. 4 Try to see them as chances to grow and improve. Accept your mistakes, learn from them, and then keep moving forward. Appreciate each experience, both good and bad, as they shape you into a wiser and more resilient (坚韧的) individual.
5 It requires time, patience, and a willingness to learn and adapt. In this journey, we can unlock our true potential and grow with a positive mindset and a clearer understanding of who we are.
A.To do this, you can try a simple writing exercise.
B.This process will discourage you from achieving more.
C.Sometimes, being kind might become your weaknesses.
D.But keep in mind that they are a natural part of learning.
E.They might help you understand your personality better.
F.Remember, understanding ourselves better is an ongoing process.
G.Note down even the smallest act s of kindness as they truly matter.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)
Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation. Whether it is your schooling or a serious life struggle, we must learn to turn the page and change our life for the better. 1
You might find yourself in a dead ens. 2 This will help you mark your future decisions. Everything that you faced until now was just a part of the problem and everything that comes after the line will be part of the solution. Don’t take the whole thing as suffering; instead, it is a learning experience. Make sure that you won’t let anything hold you back and will try to be better each day.
When handling a tough situation, you may need some extra help. Connect with people that have gone through the same trials as you have. During the interactions, you will notice the different patterns which made them successful. 3 Their experiences are beneficial to uplifting your spirit and truly help you out.
Another amazing approach is to make sensible and favorable choices for yourself. Engaging in battles and struggles is going to be very hard. 4 Picture your goals in your mind and make sensible steps towards them with each passing day. Remember to do what actually works and make sure that nothing stands in your way.
The past is a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny. Life moves on and so should we. 5 The new chapter of your life is coming for you.
A.Now it’s your turn to think outside the box.
B.We must forgive ourselves to begin the next chapter.
C.Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life.
D.What you can do in this situation is draw a mental line.
E.However, giving up and being stuck in pain will be even harder.
F.Let your tears and sweat water the seeds of your future happiness.
G.Besides, you will obtain the motivation you can’t find in yourself.
Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山东日照·期末)
You’ve just met someone impressive and you even got their phone number— score! But how on earth do you get a text conversation started with them if you hardly know them? 1 And you know how to text someone you just met in a smooth and natural way.
Get the ball rolling with cute emojis (表情符号).
An emoji text works best if you send it a few hours after meeting them. Emojis work great because they’re casual, fun, and you don’t have to stress over a perfectly worded text. Send a short string of emojis and go with cute ones like the winking face, kissing face, or heart eyes. Hopefully, they’ll respond with their own string of emojis or simply say “hi.” 2
Bring up something you noticed about them.
This is the perfect icebreaker as long as you remember a good detail. 3 If so, comment on it. For example: “I noticed you were wearing a Taylor Swift shirt the other day. I’m a big fan! What did you think of her newest album?”
4
If it’s been more than 2 days since you met, remind them who you are. Since you exchanged numbers when you met, they probably didn’t forget about you. If some time has passed since your first meeting, though, you may not be super fresh in their mind! Keep your first text simple by stating who you are, where you met, and mention that you really enjoyed meeting them.
Avoid over-bothering them with texts.
It can be pretty anxious-making if the person you’ve texted isn’t responding. It’s easy to get nervous and send more texts, just hoping that something will get their attention. 5 They might be busy at work, on vacation, or dealing with a family situation. Give them a day or so to respond. If they never respond, you could follow up or just delete their number and move on. After all, there are other fish in the sea!
A.Either way, you’re in!
B.Stop the desire to do this!
C.Limit how often you text them.
D.Check out our list below for tips.
E.Be casual and direct if it’s been a while.
F.If they do respond, they don’t feel embarrassed.
G.Were they wearing a band T-shirt, or carrying a book?
Passage 5
(24-25学年高一上·山东潍坊·期末)
I have always been questioning what “success” means for me. 1 Many people would think that being successful means being popular, wealthy and famous. But in my own opinion, there are different types of success.
There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. 2 So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think.
3 It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. 4
Moreover, there is the personal success. 5 It might be spiritual, or just be comfortable with everything around you. This type of success is just like what Christopher Morley said “There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way”. It’s just allows us to speak up our mind and follow our hearts. Inside peace leads towards happiness, and this could be a success too!
A.There is the professional success.
B.Going after success requires hard work.
C.But different people have different opinions.
D.It’s doing what makes me and the world happy.
E.This is why we have to choose our own success.
F.And I believe that this question is common for everyone.
G.It is to be truly happy, and being at peace with ourselves.
Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山东泰安·期末)
Life is full of disconnected events, and memory allows us to connect those events and form our stories. Our memories make up who we are and help us to imagine possible future scenarios (设想). How do we form new memories? 1 .
Short-Term Memory
For new information to go into long-term memory, it must pass through short-term memory. The contents of short-term memory are forgotten rapidly and are lost unless practiced. More practice means paying more attention. Besides, we learn new knowledge by linking it to what we already understand. 2 .
Pay Attention
Attention is necessary for creating a memory for anything. We remember what we pay attention to. 3 . We tend to pay attention to what we find interesting, meaningful, new, surprising, and emotional. Nothing focuses the mind like surprise. For example, although one may completely enjoy a particular conversation, the same conversation a second time around would not be so interesting.
Emotional Importance
The experience of emotion strengthens our memories. Events and information that excite strong emotions also tend to matter to us. You will never forget some events, such as the joy of the birth of your first child, or your wedding day. 4 . As time passes, our memories change from storing the specifics of what happened to storing the general meaning of the event. As the saying goes, “Time heals all wounds.”
5
Stress can lead to memory losses, such as the common experience of mentally blanking during a high-pressure examination or interview. Thus, worrying about how you will perform on a test may contribute to a lower test score. Such thoughts will decrease your ability to learn new information and get back previously learned information.
A.Stress Can affect Learning
B.Bad feelings Limit Learning
C.We always have to build on what we know
D.However, memories tend to become less vivid over time
E.The following tips will help you keep your memory sharp at any age
F.Memory losses usually happen because we were not paying attention
G.Therefore, memories tend to become stronger with time passing by
Passage 7
(24-25学年高一上·山东滨州·期末)
learning something new, starting a new job or being in a race. But how we see the stress can actually make a difference to the way it affects us. 1 .Read your body differently
Start to read your stress response as being there to help you prepare for the challenge. When you are experiencing stress, you can say to yourself, “It’s normal that I am feeling a little uncomfortable and my heart is beating faster. 2 .”Redefine the meaning of the event
Rather than seeing new events as a threat, try to treat them as a challenge. Part of the reason why they are seen as a threat is that your whole future and worth appear to be in danger. 3 . They are, in fact, a very small part of your life that does not decide your whole future. 4
Some common ways people approach stress is to try to reduce and avoid it. These approaches actually strengthen the opinion that stress is “bad”. Instead of ignoring the emotions, it’s better to feel and accept them. You can say to yourself, “I feel this way because this goal is important to me.”Add to your resources
5 . It is just like an athlete who is about to compete but has not trained. Put time into study, study in different ways (read, write ideas in your own words, talk about the ideas, draw them) and give yourself time to practise these ideas.
Stress will always be present in our lives as we take on new challenges and grow as a person. Try to make it good.
A.Reduce and avoid stress.
B.However, this is not the truth.
C.Accept stress and negative emotions.
D.My body is getting me ready to compete.
E.When we see stress as a threat, it will become one.
F.Here are some tips for you to use stress to your advantage.
G.Clearly, changing your mindset is helpful only if you have the resources to cope.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东聊城·期末)
Group tours offer convenience for international travel. 1 Here are a few key points to consider.
Budget realistically. 2 Beyond the base price, take into account the potential extra costs like lunches, dinners, entrance fees for specific attractions, and optional activities. Ensure your budget covers these expenses.
Know the geography. Avoid underestimating travel times between destinations. Tight schedules on back-to-back tours can be stressful. 3 If distances or transit (中转) times aren’t listed, use tools like Google Maps to get an idea of how much time you’ll spend traveling during each leg of the tour.
Arrive early, depart late. Don’t risk arriving at your starting destination on the same day the tour departs. Flight delays or missed connections could cause you to miss the first day or two of your paid tour. 4 Similarly, adding a little extra free time at the end provides a buffer (缓冲) for unexpected delays on your return journey.
Carry local cash. Although major expenses are usually pre-paid, always be prepared for incidental costs. Especially in remote areas or when dealing with small vendors, markets, or transportation, card payments may not be accepted. 5
A.Aim to arrive at least one day early.
B.Group tours are typically not all-inclusive.
C.The last thing you want is to miss a flight.
D.You’d better carefully review the travel plan.
E.Running into issues on a tour may ruin your vacation.
F.Keep local currency on hand at all times for these situations.
G.However, careful planning is essential to avoid potential troubles.
主题01 人与社会——生活与文化
Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)
First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. 1 They think it’s a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it’s a life skill we all should try to learn.
According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people’s lack of first aid knowledge. That’s a large number considering we live in the modern age. 2 . We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies.
Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. 3 . In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That’s why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way.
4 It’s vital to prevent injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient’s condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. 5
A.Developed countries witness a greater death rate
B.But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours
C.The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid
D.Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis
E.The first few minutes is the most critical in the case of a medical emergency
F.That’s why it’s a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for
G.However, if you can employ the basic first aid skills, it can relieve the damage
Passage 2
(23-24学年高一上·山东日照·期末)
A typical student will spend a lot of time in lectures and working at desks or computers. 1 Not only is exercise for students important for overall health, but it is also thought to be able to increase learning abilities and concentration.
Establishing a healthy lifestyle is important for people of any age, but it can be hard for college students who have to cope with academic problems and stresses. 2 While high school and other lower-level students don’t often have to deal with the learning stresses, regular exercise and activity is still of equal importance.
3 Exercise for students will reduce the risk of problems such as obesity and diabetes. Regular exercise also releases endorphins (内啡肽) that can make problems such as depression less likely and increase happiness. To increase fitness and overall health a student should aim for around 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
Some people may also find exercising helps build concentration during lectures and in general learn more efficiently. Studies performed over the years have discovered that students who often exercised were happier and felt more focused. The same effect is not seen immediately after exercising. 4
5 Avoiding student obesity is important as it can cause numerous health problems later in life. By combining a healthy diet that includes only a small amount of saturated fats with an increased amount of exercise a student can quickly become healthier.
A.It’s a product of regular workouts.
B.This means he or she can’t get enough exercise.
C.Most students will have to learn how to study effectively.
D.There are many health benefits to leading a healthy lifestyle.
E.Healthy eating should be used together with exercise for students.
F.Exercise for students should involve a variety of different methods.
G.Student health can often become of secondary importance in this situation.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·山东聊城·期末)
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a conflict? How are you supposed to make things better without completely giving in to the other party? 1 There are practical steps you can take to improve the situation and make things right.
2 Before jumping into a conversation, take a moment to understand the issue at hand, because preparedness is the key. You should give yourself some time to figure out what’s actually troubling you. Try to separate your wants from your needs, so your future conversations can be as productive as possible.
Lighten the conversation with positive body language. Your body language can significantly impact the direction of the conversation. 3 Try keeping your body language neutral (中立的) if you’re having difficulty staying calm. For example, avoid crossing your arms or turning away when the other person speaks. Simple gestures, like a gentle touch or an active, thoughtful response, can help guide the conversation in a more relaxed direction.
Talk about the present instead of the past. In a conflict, people often bring up past fault. Whether you made a. mistake in the past or the other person said something rude months ago, discussing the past won’t help you solve whatever is happening now. In fact, it can make things worse. 4
Listen carefully to the other party. 5 Show that you’re listening by repeating the key points that the other person makes. And you can summarize their main points or ask questions to clarify any misunderstandings. This helps ensure you’re both on the same page and that the conversation stays productive.
A.Take it easy.
B.Stand in the other party’s shoes.
C.Focus on the other person’s body language.
D.Be clear about what the exact problem is.
E.Nervous body language worsens conversations.
F.Let the other person share their ideas without cutting in.
G.Instead, focus on the current issue and work together to find a solution.
Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山东临沂·期末)
Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning.
1 For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣).
2 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 3 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls.
Music improves the performance in study. 4 More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost.
Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 5 Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use.
A.Music helps the old people feel much happier.
B.Music even shows promise in preventing injury.
C.Music provides emotional benefits in many ways.
D.Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients.
E.As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.”
F.Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration.
G.Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being.
Passage 5
(21-22学年高一上·山东威海·期末)
Have you ever heard of the strange natural event known as fish falling from the sky? 1 But this phenomenon has been recorded in various parts of the world, leaving scientists puzzled but fascinated.
2 Scientists have put forward several guesses to explain this strange phenomenon. One theory is that tornado-like columns of water might lift fish out of water bodies and drop them onto land during extreme weather conditions.
Another possible explanation involves the behavior of migratory birds. 3 It’s believed that during their flight, these birds might accidentally drop their catch, leading to fish raining down when they reach land. This behavior could explain the fish rain mystery observed in some areas.
Interestingly, local fairy tales also play a part in the explanation about the origin of raining fish. 4 These stories often carry symbolic meanings and are passed down through generations, adding to the mystery of this fascinating phenomenon.
The mystery of raining fish has fascinated scientists and communities alike. 5 Each theory and explanation makes us learn about the complexities of our natural world, leaving us with more questions than answers.
A.Some birds dive into water to catch fish.
B.It may sound like something out of a fantasy novel.
C.This event has become a unique cultural phenomenon.
D.The raining fish origin has been the subject of much curiosity.
E.In some cultures, fish raining from the sky is seen as a supernatural event.
F.Picture this: as you walk, fish start raining down from the sky out of nowhere.
G.Through scientific research and cultural explanations, they hope to uncover its secrets.
Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛二中·期末)
Rejection therapy (拒绝疗法) encourages people to ask strangers odd requests that will most likely get a “no” in response. 1 It could be a good exercise for someone with lower levels of anxiety looking to feel a little more comfortable with rejection. But if you want to ensure you get the benefits without causing trouble to yourself or someone else, there are some rules you should follow.
●Start small.
One common mistake is exposing (使...接触) yourself to super difficult tasks at the very beginning, which can be so stressful. 2 For example, you can try asking a stranger at the supermarket for a breath refreshener. If it feels doable, you can work your way up to something more challenging.
● 3
After you are rejected, your mind may race with regretful thoughts like, “God, everyone’s going to think I’m a fool!” To avoid yourself falling into this anxious state, you should take a few minutes to think deeply about what just happened. For example, you could write in a journal, “That was so embarrassing, but at least it’s over.”
●Know when to quit.
4 Or these silly little challenges just feel unproductive. If it’s not your thing for whatever reason, just find a different type of support that may be beneficial to you. This could include finding a therapist who is expert at treating social anxiety.
If you do want to see what rejection therapy is all about, though, try to stay realistic. No, your social anxiety won’t magically disappear because of such a challenge. 5 During the process, you can get to know yourself more and get prepared for the future life better.
A.Respect others’ thoughts.
B.Take & moment to self-reflect.
C.It is necessary to calm down after facing your fear.
D.So the therapy beginners should start with manageable moves.
E.Maybe experimenting with it is actually making you even more anxious.
F.But a few weeks of pushing your limits may increase your self-confidence.
G.The idea behind it is learning to be brave by repeatedly jumping into a hard situation.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东枣庄·期末)
Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise practice that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing. This brings more oxygen to the body and brain, making one feel more energetic and healthy. The idea of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake (假的) and real laughter. 1
Although laughter is widely known to be the best medicine and good for health, in this stressful modern life, there aren’t many reasons that make us laugh. According to scientists, to gain health benefits, one must laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and the laughter should be hearty (尽情的) and loud. 2 Through Laughter Yoga, one can laugh for a longer period of time and heartily, because it is performed as a physical exercise rather than relying on a mental process.
A typical Laughter Yoga class is led by a laughter leader who guides the group through different laughter, breathing, and stretching exercises. It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏). 3 Childlike playfulness and shared eye contact are also encouraged to bring out real, natural laughter.
Laughter Yoga provides many health benefits. It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine. 4 Laughter Yoga is a single exercise dealing with physical, mental, and emotional stress at the same time. In addition, it helps your body fight illness, lowers blood pressure, and keeps your heart healthy.
5 Practicing laughter in a group builds trust and connection, even among strangers. It gives people a sense of belonging and helps them form lasting friendships, which in turn improves emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
A.After all, it’s good for you.
B.One gets the same health benefits either way.
C.Laughter Yoga also strengthens social connections.
D.The idea that laughter has beneficial effects is not new.
E.It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.
F.Then come laughter exercises that help people laugh loudly and heartily.
G.However, natural laughter needs a reason to start and lasts only a few seconds.

1.上文“In running, training your body is of great importance. Your lungs, legs and heart do most of the work.(在跑步中,训练你的身体非常重要。你的肺、腿和心脏承担了大部分工作)”说明在跑步中训练身体很重要,身体各部位承担大部分工作。下文“Research has shown the incredible influence of mental conditions on performance.(研究表明,精神状况对表现有着令人难以置信的影响)”说明心理状态跑步中的表现有惊人影响。空处承上启下,连接身体训练和心理训练,体现心理训练的重要性。所以C项“不过,训练你的大脑同样重要。”符合语境。C选项中的“just as essential”与上文中的“of great importance”相呼应,“Training your mind”和下文中的“incredible influence of mental conditions”相呼应。故选C。
2.上文“Some runs may be a period of hard work, and the more you try to run through it, the worse you feel.(有些跑步可能是一段艰苦的工作,你越努力跑过去,感觉就越糟糕)”说明有些跑步很艰苦,越努力越难受。下文“This allows you to feel better the next day.(这会让你第二天感觉更好)”说明这样做的好处。空处和上文为顺承关系,并引出下文,说明可以给自己再次尝试的选择。所以B项“给自己再次尝试的选择。”符合语境。下文中的This指代该项中的“给自己再次尝试的选择”。故选B。
3.上文“For example, you think to yourself “I can do this” — you’re actively not thinking or engaging in negative thoughts.(例如,你对自己说“我能做到”——你实际上没有思考或陷入消极的想法)”说明积极自我暗示能避免消极想法。空处和上文为顺承关系,说明积极自我暗示的作用。所以G项“它通过关注其他事情来关闭它们,让焦虑平静下来。”符合语境。G选项中的It指代前文的积极自我暗示,说明其能通过关注其他事情来避免消极想法,让焦虑平静。故选G。
4.上文“If you need to make a run more fun, challenge yourself to a speed play. For example, run slow for 30 seconds, then medium for 10 seconds, then fast for 20 seconds.(如果你需要让跑步更有趣,挑战自己进行速度游戏。例如,慢跑30秒,然后中速跑10秒,然后快速跑20秒)”说明可以通过变速跑让跑步更有趣。空处和上文为顺承关系,进一步说明这种方法如何操作。所以A项“你也可以用物体作为标记。”符合语境。A选项延续了用具体方式进行变速跑的思路,且下文“Try running slowly to one tree, then going at a reasonable pace to a mailbox.(试着慢慢跑到一棵树前,然后以合理的速度跑到邮箱前)”是对A选项的具体举例,故选A。

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山东日照·期末)
You’ve just met someone impressive and you even got their phone number— score! But how on earth do you get a text conversation started with them if you hardly know them? 1 And you know how to text someone you just met in a smooth and natural way.
Get the ball rolling with cute emojis (表情符号).
An emoji text works best if you send it a few hours after meeting them. Emojis work great because they’re casual, fun, and you don’t have to stress over a perfectly worded text. Send a short string of emojis and go with cute ones like the winking face, kissing face, or heart eyes. Hopefully, they’ll respond with their own string of emojis or simply say “hi.” 2
Bring up something you noticed about them.
This is the perfect icebreaker as long as you remember a good detail. 3 If so, comment on it. For example: “I noticed you were wearing a Taylor Swift shirt the other day. I’m a big fan! What did you think of her newest album?”
4
If it’s been more than 2 days since you met, remind them who you are. Since you exchanged numbers when you met, they probably didn’t forget about you. If some time has passed since your first meeting, though, you may not be super fresh in their mind! Keep your first text simple by stating who you are, where you met, and mention that you really enjoyed meeting them.
Avoid over-bothering them with texts.
It can be pretty anxious-making if the person you’ve texted isn’t responding. It’s easy to get nervous and send more texts, just hoping that something will get their attention. 5 They might be busy at work, on vacation, or dealing with a family situation. Give them a day or so to respond. If they never respond, you could follow up or just delete their number and move on. After all, there are other fish in the sea!
A.Either way, you’re in!
B.Stop the desire to do this!
C.Limit how often you text them.
D.Check out our list below for tips.
E.Be casual and direct if it’s been a while.
F.If they do respond, they don’t feel embarrassed.
G.Were they wearing a band T-shirt, or carrying a book?
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.G 4.E 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过具体建议帮助读者以自然、轻松的方式与对方建立联系,同时避免过度打扰对方。
1.下文的小标题是“Get the ball rolling with cute emojis (用可爱的表情符号开始对话)”,这表明作者接下来将提供具体的建议。因此,D项“Check out our list below for tips. (查看下面的建议列表)”与原文内容一致,引出下文的具体建议,符合题意。故选D项。
2.原文提到“Hopefully, they’ll respond with their own string of emojis or simply say “hi.” (希望他们会用自己的表情符号串回复,或者简单地说一声“嗨”)”,这表明无论对方如何回复,你都能成功地开始对话。因此,A项“Either way, you’re in! (无论哪种方式,你都成功了!)”与原文内容一致,总结了这种交流方式的积极结果,符合题意。故选A项。
3.本段的小标题是“Bring up something you noticed about them (提及你注意到的关于他们的某件事)”,以及第一句“This is the perfect icebreaker as long as you remember a good detail. (只要记得一些有趣的细节,这就是完美的破冰方式)”,本段指出这是一个完美的破冰方式。G项“Were they wearing a band T-shirt, or carrying a book? (他们是否穿着乐队的T恤,或者拿着一本书?)”与原文内容一致,举例说明可以提及的具体细节,符合题意。故选G项。
4.下文提到“If some time has passed since your first meeting, though, you may not be super fresh in their mind! Keep your first text simple by stating who you are, where you met, and mention that you really enjoyed meeting them. (然而,如果距离你们第一次见面已经过去了一段时间,你可能不会在他们的记忆中那么清晰了!通过表明你是谁、你们在哪里认识,以及提到你很高兴认识他们,让你的第一条短信保持简单)”,说明过了一段时间之后,应该介绍一下自己,但是应该简单和直接一些,E项“Be casual and direct if it’s been a while. (如果已经过去一段时间,保持轻松和直接)”与原文内容一致,建议在短信中保持轻松和直接,符合题意。故选E项。
5.本段的小标题是“Avoid over-bothering them with texts (避免过度打扰他们)”,并指出如果对方没有回复,很容易让人感到焦虑,从而忍不住发送更多短信。B项“Stop the desire to do this! (克制这种冲动!)”与原文内容一致,建议不要过度打扰对方,符合题意。故选B项。
Passage 5
(24-25学年高一上·山东潍坊·期末)
I have always been questioning what “success” means for me. 1 Many people would think that being successful means being popular, wealthy and famous. But in my own opinion, there are different types of success.
There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. 2 So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think.
3 It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. 4
Moreover, there is the personal success. 5 It might be spiritual, or just be comfortable with everything around you. This type of success is just like what Christopher Morley said “There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way”. It’s just allows us to speak up our mind and follow our hearts. Inside peace leads towards happiness, and this could be a success too!
A.There is the professional success.
B.Going after success requires hard work.
C.But different people have different opinions.
D.It’s doing what makes me and the world happy.
E.This is why we have to choose our own success.
F.And I believe that this question is common for everyone.
G.It is to be truly happy, and being at peace with ourselves.
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.G

1.由上文“I have always been questioning what “success” means for me. (我一直都在质询“成功”对我来说意味着什么。)”和下文“Many people would think that being successful means being popular, wealthy and famous. But in my own opinion, there are different types of success. (许多人会认为成功意味着受欢迎、富有和出名。但在我看来,成功有不同的类型。)”可知,上文提到作者一直在思考“成功”对自己的意义,而下文则指出很多人认为的成功的含义。本空应承上启下,表明这是一个普遍存在的问题。F选项“And I believe that this question is common for everyone. (并且我相信这个问题对每个人来说都是常见的。)”能承接上文,符合语境。其中的this question 指代上文关于成功对自己意味着什么的问题,故选F。
2.由上文“There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. (有社会成功。这与社会上大多数人认为重要的事情有关,比如坠入爱河、结婚或生孩子。)”及下文“So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think. (所以,如果有人对什么是成功有自己的想法,即使这与大多数人的想法不同,也没关系。)”可知,上文提到社交成功与社会上大多数人认为重要的事情有关,而下文则指出每个人都可以有自己的成功观。本空应强调人们对成功的看法不同。C选项“But different people have different opinions. (但不同的人有不同的看法。)”承接了上文关于社交成功的定义,并为下文关于个人成功观的讨论做了铺垫,符合题意。故选C。
3.由下文“It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. (它是关于在你的工作或教育中达到目标。我周围的大多数人认为成功是在从事一份自己喜欢的工作的同时赚足够的钱。)”可知,本段介绍的是职业方面的成功,本空应强调职业成功。A选项“There is the professional success. (存在职业成功。)”能引出下文关于职业成功的阐述,符合语境。故选A。
4.由上文“Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. (就个人而言,我认为职业成功不仅仅是财富和头衔,而是我给别人的生活带来的价值。它是一张笑脸,一片更绿的区域和一个不断发展的组织。)”可知,本空应强调职业成功带来的价值,D选项“It’s doing what makes me and the world happy. (它是做让我和世界都开心的事情。)”进一步阐述了职业成功的意义,与上文关于职业成功带来的价值相呼应,符合语境。故选D。
5.由上文“Moreover, there is the personal success. (此外,还有个人成功。)”以及下文“It might be spiritual. or just be comfortable with everything around you. (它可能是精神上的。或者只是对周围的一切感到舒适。)”可知,上文提到除了社交和职业成功外,还有个人成功。这里需要一个句子来引出个人成功的具体含义,G选项“It is to be truly happy, and being at peace with ourselves. (它是真正地快乐,并且与自己和谐相处。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。
Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山东泰安·期末)
Life is full of disconnected events, and memory allows us to connect those events and form our stories. Our memories make up who we are and help us to imagine possible future scenarios (设想). How do we form new memories? 1 .
Short-Term Memory
For new information to go into long-term memory, it must pass through short-term memory. The contents of short-term memory are forgotten rapidly and are lost unless practiced. More practice means paying more attention. Besides, we learn new knowledge by linking it to what we already understand. 2 .
Pay Attention
Attention is necessary for creating a memory for anything. We remember what we pay attention to. 3 . We tend to pay attention to what we find interesting, meaningful, new, surprising, and emotional. Nothing focuses the mind like surprise. For example, although one may completely enjoy a particular conversation, the same conversation a second time around would not be so interesting.
Emotional Importance
The experience of emotion strengthens our memories. Events and information that excite strong emotions also tend to matter to us. You will never forget some events, such as the joy of the birth of your first child, or your wedding day. 4 . As time passes, our memories change from storing the specifics of what happened to storing the general meaning of the event. As the saying goes, “Time heals all wounds.”
5
Stress can lead to memory losses, such as the common experience of mentally blanking during a high-pressure examination or interview. Thus, worrying about how you will perform on a test may contribute to a lower test score. Such thoughts will decrease your ability to learn new information and get back previously learned information.
A.Stress Can affect Learning
B.Bad feelings Limit Learning
C.We always have to build on what we know
D.However, memories tend to become less vivid over time
E.The following tips will help you keep your memory sharp at any age
F.Memory losses usually happen because we were not paying attention
G.Therefore, memories tend to become stronger with time passing by
【答案】1.E 2.C 3.F 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了记忆的作用以及形成新记忆的方法,包括短期记忆、注意力、情绪的重要性以及压力对学习的影响等方面的内容。
1.设空位于首段段尾,应是承接上文,并引出下文主题,根据前文“Life is full of disconnected events, and memory allows us to connect those events and form our stories. Our memories make up who we are and help us to imagine possible future scenarios (设想). How do we form new memories?(生活中充满了互不相关的事件,而记忆让我们把这些事件联系起来,形成我们的故事。我们的记忆决定了我们是谁,并帮助我们想象未来可能的情景。我们是如何形成新的记忆的?)”并结合下文关于短期记忆、注意力、情绪的重要性以及压力对学习的影响等方面的介绍可知,E项“The following tips will help you keep your memory sharp at any age(下面的建议将帮助你在任何年龄都保持敏锐的记忆力)”符合题意,对前文提问的回答,且引出下文。故选E项。
2.设空位于段尾,应是对前文的总结,根据前文“Besides, we learn new knowledge by linking it to what we already understand.(此外,我们通过将新知识与我们已经理解的知识联系起来来学习新知识)”可知,新知识建立在旧知识的基础上。C项“We always have to build on what we know(我们总是要建立在我们所知道的基础上)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合文意。故选C项。
3.根据前文“Attention is necessary for creating a memory for anything. We remember what we pay attention to.(注意力对于任何事物的记忆都是必要的。我们会记住我们所关注的东西)”可知,本段主要讲述注意力对记忆的必要性,所以F项“Memory losses usually happen because we were not paying attention(记忆丧失通常是因为我们没有集中注意力)”是对前文的进一步说明,符合本段主题,其中paying attention为同词复现。故选F项。
4.根据前文“You will never forget some events, such as the joy of the birth of your first child, or your wedding day.(你永远不会忘记一些事情,比如你第一个孩子出生的喜悦,或者你的婚礼)”以及后文“As time passes, our memories change from storing the specifics of what happened to storing the general meaning of the event.(随着时间的推移,我们的记忆会从储存事件的细节转变为储存事件的总体意义)”可知,前文讲述不会忘记一些重要的事,后文提及会忘记细节,由此可知,记忆会随着时间变得模糊,所以D项“However, memories tend to become less vivid over time(然而,随着时间的推移,记忆往往会变得不那么生动)”和前文构成转折关系,并引出后文。故选D项。
5.设空为本段小标题,根据后文“Stress can lead to memory losses, such as the common experience of mentally blanking during a high-pressure examination or interview. Thus, worrying about how you will perform on a test may contribute to a lower test score. Such thoughts will decrease your ability to learn new information and get back previously learned information.(压力会导致记忆力丧失,比如在高压力的考试或面试中精神空白的常见经历。因此,担心自己在考试中的表现可能会导致较低的考试分数。这样的想法会降低你学习新信息和回想以前所学信息的能力)”可知,本段主要讲述压力对记忆的影响,所以A项“Stress Can affect Learning(压力会影响学习)”是对本段的概括,符合主题。故选A项。
Passage 7
(24-25学年高一上·山东滨州·期末)
learning something new, starting a new job or being in a race. But how we see the stress can actually make a difference to the way it affects us. 1 .Read your body differently
Start to read your stress response as being there to help you prepare for the challenge. When you are experiencing stress, you can say to yourself, “It’s normal that I am feeling a little uncomfortable and my heart is beating faster. 2 .”Redefine the meaning of the event
Rather than seeing new events as a threat, try to treat them as a challenge. Part of the reason why they are seen as a threat is that your whole future and worth appear to be in danger. 3 . They are, in fact, a very small part of your life that does not decide your whole future. 4
Some common ways people approach stress is to try to reduce and avoid it. These approaches actually strengthen the opinion that stress is “bad”. Instead of ignoring the emotions, it’s better to feel and accept them. You can say to yourself, “I feel this way because this goal is important to me.”Add to your resources
5 . It is just like an athlete who is about to compete but has not trained. Put time into study, study in different ways (read, write ideas in your own words, talk about the ideas, draw them) and give yourself time to practise these ideas.
Stress will always be present in our lives as we take on new challenges and grow as a person. Try to make it good.
A.Reduce and avoid stress.
B.However, this is not the truth.
C.Accept stress and negative emotions.
D.My body is getting me ready to compete.
E.When we see stress as a threat, it will become one.
F.Here are some tips for you to use stress to your advantage.
G.Clearly, changing your mindset is helpful only if you have the resources to cope.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些可以帮助利用压力迎接新挑战的建议。
1.上文“But how we see the stress can actually make a difference to the way it affects us. (但是我们如何看待压力实际上会影响它对我们的作用。)”提出了如何看待压力的问题,选项F“这里有一些建议可以帮助你利用压力”承接上文,引出文章主题,介绍帮助利用压力的建议。故选F项。
2.上文“When you are experiencing stress, you can say to yourself, “It’s normal that I am feeling a little uncomfortable and my heart is beating faster.(当你感到压力时,你可以对自己说:“我感觉有点不舒服,心跳加快,这很正常。)”建议感到压力时,对自己说这很正常,选项D“我的身体已经为比赛做好了准备”继续对自己说,已经准备好了。都是在自我解压,故选D项。
3.上文“Rather than seeing new events as a threat, try to treat them as a challenge. Part of the reason why they are seen as a threat is that your whole future and worth appear to be in danger. (与其将新事件视为威胁,不如试着将其视为挑战。它们被视为威胁的部分原因是你的整个未来和价值似乎处于危险之中。)”和下文“They are, in fact, a very small part of your life that does not decide your whole future. (事实上,它们只是你生命中很小的一部分,并不能决定你的整个未来。)”之间发生转折,说明压力可能被视为威胁,但事实上并不是。选项B“然而,事实并非如此”符合语境,适合做小标题。故选B项。
4.下文“Some common ways people approach stress is to try to reduce and avoid it. These approaches actually strengthen the opinion that stress is “bad”.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东聊城·期末)
Group tours offer convenience for international travel. 1 Here are a few key points to consider.
Budget realistically. 2 Beyond the base price, take into account the potential extra costs like lunches, dinners, entrance fees for specific attractions, and optional activities. Ensure your budget covers these expenses.
Know the geography. Avoid underestimating travel times between destinations. Tight schedules on back-to-back tours can be stressful. 3 If distances or transit (中转) times aren’t listed, use tools like Google Maps to get an idea of how much time you’ll spend traveling during each leg of the tour.
Arrive early, depart late. Don’t risk arriving at your starting destination on the same day the tour departs. Flight delays or missed connections could cause you to miss the first day or two of your paid tour. 4 Similarly, adding a little extra free time at the end provides a buffer (缓冲) for unexpected delays on your return journey.
Carry local cash. Although major expenses are usually pre-paid, always be prepared for incidental costs. Especially in remote areas or when dealing with small vendors, markets, or transportation, card payments may not be accepted. 5
A.Aim to arrive at least one day early.
B.Group tours are typically not all-inclusive.
C.The last thing you want is to miss a flight.
D.You’d better carefully review the travel plan.
E.Running into issues on a tour may ruin your vacation.
F.Keep local currency on hand at all times for these situations.
G.However, careful planning is essential to avoid potential troubles.
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了参加国际跟团游时的五大注意事项。
1.前文“Group tours offer convenience for international travel. (跟团游为国际旅行提供了便利)”肯定跟团游的便利,后文“Here are a few key points to consider. (以下是需要注意的几个要点)”提醒要注意要点,此处需要过渡句,因此G项“However, careful planning is essential to avoid potential troubles. (然而,精心的规划对于避免潜在问题至关重要)”符合语境,指出精心的规划的必要性,和前文构成转折,引出后文的注意。故选G。
2.本段主旨句是“Budget realistically. (合理预算)”,后文“Beyond the base price, take into account the potential extra costs like lunches, dinners, entrance fees for specific attractions, and optional activities. (除基础费用外,还需考虑午餐、晚餐、特定景点门票和自费项目等额外开支)”提醒考虑基本价格之外的费用,此处需要解释为什么需要考虑这些费用,因此B项“Group tours are typically not all-inclusive. (跟团游通常不是全包的)”符合语境,呼应主旨句,引出后文。故选B。
3.前文“Avoid underestimating travel times between destinations. Tight schedules on back-to-back tours can be stressful. (切勿低估目的地间的交通时间。连续紧凑的行程会带来压力)”提醒避免低估交通时间,后文“If distances or transit (中转) times aren’t listed, use tools like Google Maps to get an idea of how much time you’ll spend traveling during each leg of the tour. (若行程中未标明具体距离或交通时间,建议使用谷歌地图等工具预估每段旅程的耗时情况)”就没列出距离或时间的情况给出具体建议,此处应是建议查看旅行行程,因此D项“You’d better carefully review the travel plan. (你最好仔细查看旅行计划)”符合语境,承前启后。故选D。
4.前文“Don’t risk arriving at your starting destination on the same day the tour departs. Flight delays or missed connections could cause you to miss the first day or two of your paid tour. (切勿在团队出发当日才抵达始发地。航班延误或转机失误可能导致你错过已付费行程的前一至两天)”提醒避免当天到达,解释有错过行程的风险,后文“Similarly, adding a little extra free time at the end provides a buffer (缓冲) for unexpected delays on your return journey. (同样地,在行程结束时预留一些额外的空闲时间,可以为返程途中可能出现的意外延误提供缓冲)”指出返程也留时间,此处需要建议提前到达,因此A项“Aim to arrive at least one day early. (争取至少提前一天到达)”符合语境,承前启后。故选A。
5.前文“Especially in remote areas or when dealing with small vendors, markets, or transportation, card payments may not be accepted. (特别是在偏远地区,或与小商贩、市场及当地交通工具打交道时,可能会遇到无法使用银行卡支付的情况)”提到无法使用银行卡支付的各种情况,此处需建议随身准备当地货币,因此F项“Keep local currency on hand at all times for these situations. (随时准备当地货币应对这些情况)”符合语境,承接前文。故选F。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)
First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. 1 They think it’s a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it’s a life skill we all should try to learn.
According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people’s lack of first aid knowledge. That’s a large number considering we live in the modern age. 2 . We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies.
Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. 3 . In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That’s why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way.
4 It’s vital to prevent injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient’s condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. 5
A.Developed countries witness a greater death rate
B.But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours
C.The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid
D.Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis
E.The first few minutes is the most critical in the case of a medical emergency
F.That’s why it’s a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for
G.However, if you can employ the basic first aid skills, it can relieve the damage
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.D 4.E 5.G

5.根据空前“Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. (当然,叫救护车是你的首要任务。例如,当一个人经历心脏骤停时,他们只有3到4分钟的时间,然后大脑就会缺氧)”可知,本句进一步说明除了叫救护车,会心肺复苏术也很重要。G项“但是,如果你能掌握基本的急救技能,就能减轻伤害”与前文形成转折,符合语境,故选G。
Passage 2
(23-24学年高一上·山东日照·期末)
A typical student will spend a lot of time in lectures and working at desks or computers. 1 Not only is exercise for students important for overall health, but it is also thought to be able to increase learning abilities and concentration.
Establishing a healthy lifestyle is important for people of any age, but it can be hard for college students who have to cope with academic problems and stresses. 2 While high school and other lower-level students don’t often have to deal with the learning stresses, regular exercise and activity is still of equal importance.
3 Exercise for students will reduce the risk of problems such as obesity and diabetes. Regular exercise also releases endorphins (内啡肽) that can make problems such as depression less likely and increase happiness. To increase fitness and overall health a student should aim for around 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
Some people may also find exercising helps build concentration during lectures and in general learn more efficiently. Studies performed over the years have discovered that students who often exercised were happier and felt more focused. The same effect is not seen immediately after exercising. 4
5 Avoiding student obesity is important as it can cause numerous health problems later in life. By combining a healthy diet that includes only a small amount of saturated fats with an increased amount of exercise a student can quickly become healthier.
A.It’s a product of regular workouts.
B.This means he or she can’t get enough exercise.
C.Most students will have to learn how to study effectively.
D.There are many health benefits to leading a healthy lifestyle.
E.Healthy eating should be used together with exercise for students.
F.Exercise for students should involve a variety of different methods.
G.Student health can often become of secondary importance in this situation.

1.由上文“A typical student will spend a lot of time in lectures and working at desks or computers.(一个典型的学生会花很多时间听课、在书桌前或电脑前学习。)”及下文“Not only is exercise for students important for overall health, but it is also thought to be able to increase learning abilities and concentration.(学生锻炼不仅对整体健康很重要,而且被认为能提高学习能力和注意力。)”可知,此处需要说明学生因忙于学习而缺乏锻炼。B项 This means he or she can’t get enough exercise.(这意味着他或她无法获得足够的锻炼。)中This指代学生长时间投入学习的状态,“can’t get enough exercise”直接点出由此导致的问题,自然衔接下文对锻炼重要性的强调,逻辑通顺。故选B项。
2.由上文“Establishing a healthy lifestyle is important for people of any age, but it can be hard for college students who have to cope with academic problems and stresses.(建立健康的生活方式对任何年龄段的人都很重要,但对不得不应对学业问题和压力的大学生来说可能很难。)”可知,此处需要说明在这种情况下学生健康的地位变化。G项Student health can often become of secondary importance in this situation.(在这种情况下,学生的健康往往会变成次要的。) 中“in this situation”呼应上文“cope with academic problems and stresses”,“of secondary importance”解释了健康难以保障的原因,即被学业压力排挤到次要位置,衔接自然。故选G项。
3.由下文“Exercise for students will reduce the risk of problems such as obesity and diabetes. Regular exercise also releases endorphins that can make problems such as depression less likely and increase happiness. To increase fitness and overall health a student should aim for around 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.(学生锻炼会降低肥胖和糖尿病等问题的风险。定期锻炼还会释放内啡肽,减少抑郁等问题的发生,增加幸福感。为了增强体质和整体健康,学生应该在一周的大部分时间里进行大约 60 分钟的锻炼。)”可知,此处需要总述健康生活方式对健康的诸多益处。D项There are many health benefits to leading a healthy lifestyle.(健康的生活方式对健康有很多益处。)中“many health benefits”概括下文提到的“降低疾病风险、释放内啡肽、增强体质”等具体好处,作为段落主题句,明确该部分围绕健康生活方式的健康益处展开。故选D项。
4.由上文“Studies performed over the years have discovered that students who often exercised were happier and felt more focused. The same effect is not seen immediately after exercising.(多年的研究发现,经常锻炼的学生更快乐,注意力更集中。锻炼后不会立即看到同样的效果。)”可知,此处需要说明这种积极效果的来源。A项It’s a product of regular workouts.(这是定期锻炼的结果。) 中It指代上文“更快乐、注意力更集中”的效果,“product of regular workouts”解释了效果并非即时产生,而是源于长期坚持锻炼,与“often exercised”呼应,逻辑连贯。故选A项。
5.由下文“Avoiding student obesity is important as it can cause numerous health problems later in life. By combining a healthy diet that includes only a small amount of saturated fats with an increased amount of exercise a student can quickly become healthier.(避免学生肥胖很重要,因为它会在以后的生活中导致许多健康问题。通过将只含有少量饱和脂肪的健康饮食与更多的锻炼相结合,学生可以很快变得更健康。)”可知,此处需要强调健康饮食与锻炼应结合。E项Healthy eating should be used together with exercise for students.(对学生来说,健康饮食应该与锻炼结合起来。)中“used together with”与下文“combining a healthy diet that includes only a small amount of saturated fats with an increased amount of exercise”直接呼应,点明饮食与锻炼结合的必要性,引出下文对这一结合的具体说明。故选E项。

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山东临沂·期末)
Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strong, including those networks about emotion, happiness, movement and learning.
1 For example, hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operation, which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) release, creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympics, national anthems (国歌) unite audience, stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣).
2 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 3 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls.
Music improves the performance in study. 4 More surprisingly, language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost.
Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music apps, sharing meaningful songs with friends, or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 5 Its power is everywhere, ready for you to find and use.
A.Music helps the old people feel much happier.
B.Music even shows promise in preventing injury.
C.Music provides emotional benefits in many ways.
D.Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients.
E.As Plato noted, “Music gives soul to the universe.”
F.Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration.
G.Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being.

Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·山东青岛二中·期末)
Rejection therapy (拒绝疗法) encourages people to ask strangers odd requests that will most likely get a “no” in response. 1 It could be a good exercise for someone with lower levels of anxiety looking to feel a little more comfortable with rejection. But if you want to ensure you get the benefits without causing trouble to yourself or someone else, there are some rules you should follow.
●Start small.
One common mistake is exposing (使...接触) yourself to super difficult tasks at the very beginning, which can be so stressful. 2 For example, you can try asking a stranger at the supermarket for a breath refreshener. If it feels doable, you can work your way up to something more challenging.
● 3
After you are rejected, your mind may race with regretful thoughts like, “God, everyone’s going to think I’m a fool!” To avoid yourself falling into this anxious state, you should take a few minutes to think deeply about what just happened. For example, you could write in a journal, “That was so embarrassing, but at least it’s over.”
●Know when to quit.
4 Or these silly little challenges just feel unproductive. If it’s not your thing for whatever reason, just find a different type of support that may be beneficial to you. This could include finding a therapist who is expert at treating social anxiety.
If you do want to see what rejection therapy is all about, though, try to stay realistic. No, your social anxiety won’t magically disappear because of such a challenge. 5 During the process, you can get to know yourself more and get prepared for the future life better.
A.Respect others’ thoughts.
B.Take & moment to self-reflect.
C.It is necessary to calm down after facing your fear.
D.So the therapy beginners should start with manageable moves.
E.Maybe experimenting with it is actually making you even more anxious.
F.But a few weeks of pushing your limits may increase your self-confidence.
G.The idea behind it is learning to be brave by repeatedly jumping into a hard situation.
【答案】1.G 2.D 3.B 4.E 5.F

Laughter Yoga is a unique exercise practice that combines laughter exercises with yoga breathing. This brings more oxygen to the body and brain, making one feel more energetic and healthy. The idea of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake (假的) and real laughter. 1
Although laughter is widely known to be the best medicine and good for health, in this stressful modern life, there aren’t many reasons that make us laugh. According to scientists, to gain health benefits, one must laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and the laughter should be hearty (尽情的) and loud. 2 Through Laughter Yoga, one can laugh for a longer period of time and heartily, because it is performed as a physical exercise rather than relying on a mental process.
A typical Laughter Yoga class is led by a laughter leader who guides the group through different laughter, breathing, and stretching exercises. It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏). 3 Childlike playfulness and shared eye contact are also encouraged to bring out real, natural laughter.
Laughter Yoga provides many health benefits. It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine. 4 Laughter Yoga is a single exercise dealing with physical, mental, and emotional stress at the same time. In addition, it helps your body fight illness, lowers blood pressure, and keeps your heart healthy.
5 Practicing laughter in a group builds trust and connection, even among strangers. It gives people a sense of belonging and helps them form lasting friendships, which in turn improves emotional well-being and life satisfaction.
A.After all, it’s good for you.
B.One gets the same health benefits either way.
C.Laughter Yoga also strengthens social connections.
D.The idea that laughter has beneficial effects is not new.
E.It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.
F.Then come laughter exercises that help people laugh loudly and heartily.
G.However, natural laughter needs a reason to start and lasts only a few seconds.
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.F 4.E 5.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了笑瑜伽(Laughter Yoga)的科学原理、练习方式及其对身心健康的多重益处。
1.上文“The idea of Laughter Yoga is based on the scientific fact that the body cannot tell the difference between fake (假的) and real laughter.(笑瑜伽的理念是基于这样一个科学事实,即身体无法分辨假笑和真笑。)”提到了身体无法区分假笑和真笑,后文应延续这一科学依据的结论,所以B选项“无论哪种方式,获得的健康益处都是一样的。”能承接上文。故选B项。
2.上文“According to scientists, to gain health benefits, one must laugh for 15 to 20 minutes a day, and the laughter should be hearty (尽情的) and loud.(据科学家称,要想获得健康益处,每天必须笑15到20分钟,而且笑声要由衷且响亮。)”提到了每天要尽情大笑,下文“Through Laughter Yoga, one can laugh for a longer period of time and heartily, because it is performed as a physical exercise rather than relying on a mental process.(通过笑瑜伽,一个人可以笑得更久,更开心,因为它是一种身体锻炼,而不是依赖于心理过程)”提到人们可以通过笑瑜伽大笑且持久,G选项“然而,自然的笑声需要一个开始的理由,并且只持续几秒钟。”符合题意,承上启下,指出大笑需要一个理由,从而引出下文的理由——笑瑜伽。故选G项。
3.上文“It starts with warm-up exercises like clapping and repeating “ho ho ha ha” with a rhythm (节奏).(它从热身运动开始,比如拍手和有节奏地重复“嗬嗬哈哈”。)”提到了瑜伽课程的流程,即从热身运动开始,F选项中Then是关键词,与上文构成顺承关系,所以F选项“接下来是笑声练习,帮助人们放声大笑,尽情欢笑。”与上文形成自然衔接。故选F项。
4.上文“It is a powerful cardio workout (有氧运动); just 10 minutes of hearty laughter is like doing 30 minutes of exercise on a gym machine.(这是一项强效的有氧运动;仅仅10分钟的开怀大笑就相当于在健身器械上锻炼30分钟。)”提到了“笑瑜伽”的健康益处,E选项“It also reduces the negative effects of stress on your body.(它还能减轻压力对身体造成的负面影响。)”也是“笑瑜伽”的益处,承接前文。故选E项。
5.下文“Practicing laughter in a group builds trust and connection, even among strangers. It gives people a sense of belonging and helps them form lasting friendships, which in turn improves emotional well-being and life satisfaction.(在群体中练习笑能建立信任和联系,即使在陌生人之间也是如此。它能让人们产生归属感,帮助他们建立持久的友谊,进而提升情绪幸福感和生活满意度。)”提到了“笑瑜伽”对社交关系的积极影响,C选项“Laughter Yoga also strengthens social connections.(“笑瑜伽”还能增进社交联系。)”能概括下文内容。故选C项。
