Maybe concerns about injuries kept you on the sideline. 1 Here’s why. You can do it anywhere. Step out your front door. 2 You can walk around areas that you frequent, such as a grocery store, a shopping center, a place of worship, or the homes of friends and family. 3 Stanford University researchers found that people generated twice as many creative responses to problems when walking compared with sitting. And the creative juices continued to flow even when they sat down after their walk — another good reason to take a walking break during the workday. You can get “me” time. Heading out by yourself can be a good way to escape the demands and expectations that occupy much of your time. 4 It can be valuable, quiet “me” time, allowing you to return refreshed. Walking is not only healthy and easy, but it’s also fun. To some people, exercise feels like hard boring work. With walking, however, you can attend yourself in multiple ways. You can do it with others. Invite family, friends, or co-workers to join you for a walk. 5 A．You can be more creative. B．You can gain a new viewpoint. C．Take a walk from where you work. D．It’s gentle on your knees and the rest of your body. E．Walking could just be the way to keep your resolution. F．As you walk, you can clear your head, relax, and reflect. G．It’s a great way to catch up or get to know someone better. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．A 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的了步行这种理想的锻炼方式。 1．根据上文的“Have you ever resolved on New Year’s Day to start exercising more — only to find that you didn’t have the time or couldn’t afford expensive lessons, classes, or gym fees? Maybe concerns about injuries kept you on the sideline.(你是否曾经在新年伊始立下誓言要多锻炼身体——但后来发现不是没时间，就是承担不起高昂的课程费、班级费或健身房费用？又或许是因为担心受伤，所以你一直未能真正开始)”可知，新年决心开始多运动，但可能因为时间、费用或者担心受伤问题未能实现，结合下文的“Here’s why.( 以下是原因)”可知，此空应该引出一种解决方案，即步行，E选项“Walking could just be the way to keep your resolution.(步行可能正是坚持你新年决心的方法)”引出步行这一解决方案，并引出下文关于步行是这一解决方案原因的讨论，符合语境。故选E项。 2．根据上文的“You can do it anywhere.

And the creative juices continued to flow even when they sat down after their walk — another good reason to take a walking break during the workday.(斯坦福大学的研究人员发现，人们在行走时产生的创造性解决问题的反应是在坐着时的两倍。而且即使在行走后坐下，创造力依然持续迸发——这是在工作日中抽出时间散步的另一个好理由)”可知，斯坦福大学的研究发现人们在行走时的创造性是坐着时产生的创造性的两倍，所以本段讲述的是步行能提高创造力，A选项“You can be more creative.(你可以更有创造力)”概括了本段的主题，符合语境。故选A项。 4．根据上文的“You can get “me” time. Heading out by yourself can be a good way to escape the demands and expectations that occupy much of your time.(你可以获得“自我”时间。独自外出是一个逃离那些占据你大量时间的需求和期望的好方法)”可知，独自出行可以逃避许多日常需求和期望，结合下文的“It can be valuable, quiet “me” time, allowing you to return refreshed.(这可以成为宝贵的安静“自我”时间，让你回来时感到精神焕发)”可知，此处解释了为什么独自步行可以获得这种宁静的时间，F选项“As you walk, you can clear your head, relax, and reflect.(当你走路时，你可以整理思绪、放松并反思)”讲述的内容承接上文，且与下文讲述的内容吻合，符合语境。故选F项。 5．根据上文的“You can do it with others.

To help manage this anxiety, let’s start with some strategies. Firstly, remind yourself that some level of anxiety is normal, and feeling a little stressed can actually improve your performance. Encourage yourself with self-statements like “I can handle this.” 2 Use positive imagery to visualize yourself successfully completing the exam. Furthermore, being well-prepared is the key, so organize your study material and take time over several days, or even weeks, to review it. Avoid cramming (填满) right before the exam, as this can heighten anxiety. 3 Get good sleep, not just the night before the exam. It can help you strengthen the memories you created during study time. 4 Budget your time and pace yourself so you have adequate time to finish the test. Don’t skip over directions — read them carefully! If you get stuck on a question or section, skip and then return to it later. If you feel you have “gone blank,” allow yourself to mark some responses anyway. If you are blank about an essay question, just start writing whatever you know. 5 Finally, after the exam is over, it’s important to reflect on your experience and reward yourself for the changes you made in your habits. Remember, while testing is an unavoidable part of a student’s life, preparation and calming strategies can turn anxiety into confidence. A．However, no one feels excited. B．Secondly, prepare your review materials. C．Before the winter holiday comes the final exam. D．Practice relaxation techniques and deep breathing. E．This action can help bring the correct answer to your mind. F．Now, let’s discuss how to manage anxiety during the exam. G．In addition to mental preparation, physical well-being is crucial. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．G 4．F 5．E 【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了如何克服考试焦虑的策略。 1．上文“It’s that time of year again for high school students.(对于高中生来说，又到了一年中的这个时候。)”引出“一年的这个时候”，C项 (寒假来临之前是期末考试)”进一步解释这个时候是期末考试，符合语境，故选C。 2．上文“Firstly, remind yourself that some level of anxiety is normal, and feeling a little stressed can actually improve your performance. Encourage yourself with self-statements like “I can handle this.”(首先，提醒自己，一定程度的焦虑是正常的，有点压力实际上可以提高你的表现。用“我能应付”这样的自我陈述来鼓励自己。)”说明对于压力要有心理准备，下文“Use positive imagery to visualize yourself successfully completing the exam.(用积极的形象来想象自己成功完成考试。)”提出了另一个技巧，D项“练习放松技巧和深呼吸”符合语境，与上文构成并列关系，且下文中的Use positive imagery也是一种放松技巧，故选D。 3．上文“Furthermore, being well-prepared is the key, so organize your study material and take time over several days, or even weeks, to review it. Avoid cramming (填满) right before the exam, as this can heighten anxiety.(此外，做好准备是关键，所以组织好你的学习材料，花几天甚至几周的时间复习。避免在考试前死记硬背，因为这会加剧焦虑。)”提出了避免在考试前临时填鸭式学习，作好心理准备。下文“Get good sleep, not just the night before the exam. It can help you strengthen the memories you created during study time.(好好睡一觉，而不仅仅是在考试前一天晚上。这可以帮助你强化在学习期间创造的记忆。)”提出了睡个好觉的好处，G项“除了心理准备，身体健康也至关重要”既承接了上文的“being well-prepared”，又呼应了下文，下文中的sleep属于身体健康方面，故选G。 4．下文“Budget your time and pace yourself so you have adequate time to finish the test.(安排好你的时间和节奏，这样你就有足够的时间完成考试。)”说明考试时的时间和节奏很重要，F项“现在，让我们讨论一下如何在考试中应对焦虑”引出下文关于考试中应对焦虑的方法，和下文衔接得很好。故选F。 5．上文“If you feel you have “gone blank,” allow yourself to mark some responses anyway. If you are blank about an essay question, just start writing whatever you know.(如果你觉得自己“一片空白”，不管怎样，允许自己标记一些回复。如果你对一个论文问题一无所知，那就开始写你知道的任何东西。)”指出考试期间出现大脑“一片空白”的情况应该怎样做，E项“这个动作可以帮助你想起正确答案”承接上文，进一步说明了“写你知道的任何东西”的好的结果，故选E。 Passage 3 (24-25高三上·广东华附 省实 广雅 深中四校联考·期末) On July 4, 1972, a pair of young newlyweds named Tony and Maureen were on the driveway of a family home in the south of England. 1 . Or somewhere. They had a trunk full of food, cooking equipment and some sleeping bags. They believed that their journey across Asia would be nothing more than a little adventure before they settled down to a steady, middle-class life in England. And it turned out to be just the kind of adventure the couple longed for. They got caught in a snowstorm in the Italian Alps; bumped into a motorcycle in Iran; then sold their car. From there, it was a bus to Pakistan, then on to India. The couple hitchhiked south across Thailand and on through Malaysia and Singapore. 2 . Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia. 3 . And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them. 4 . The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route. But that’s not to say that Tony and Maureen had nothing to guide them. As they would discover soon, their single best source of information was the other travelers they’d encounter on the road. 5 . And these notes would ate prove to be a very valuable resource for the book Across Asia on the Cheap, beginning of their Lonely Planet guidebooks — the gospel (真理) of adventure travel for tens of millions of readers. A．They would also exchange information. B．They once wanted to stop their journey. C．They’d covered over ten thousand miles. D．Tony took very careful notes of the information every day.

They had a trunk full of food, cooking equipment and some sleeping bags. They believed that their journey across Asia would be nothing more than a little adventure before they settled down to a steady, middle-class life in England.(或者某个地方。他们有一个装满食物、烹饪设备和一些睡袋的箱子。他们认为，在他们在英国安定下来，过上稳定的中产阶级生活之前，他们的亚洲之旅只不过是一次小小的冒险)”可知，后文提到了某个地方，且他们有一些旅途用品，推测这对夫妇要外出旅行，本句是在说明他们的目的地。故G选项“他们开着一辆二手小货车，他们的目标是去印度”符合语境，故选G。 2．根据上文“And it turned out to be just the kind of adventure the couple longed for. They got caught in a snowstorm in the Italian Alps;bumped into a motorcycle in Iran;then sold their car. From there, it was a bus to Pakistan, then on to India. The couple hitchhiked south across Thailand and on through Malaysia and Singapore.(事实证明，这正是这对夫妇所渴望的冒险。他们在意大利阿尔卑斯山遭遇了暴风雪；在伊朗撞上了一辆摩托车；然后卖掉了他们的车。从那里，这是一辆开往巴基斯坦的巴士，然后又开往印度。这对夫妇搭便车南下泰国，然后经过马来西亚和新加坡)”以及下一段“Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里，托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”可知，本句是在讲他们最后到达的地方是在澳大利亚。故E选项“他们出发去旅行的最后一站——西澳大利亚”符合语境，故选E。 3．根据上文“Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里，托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”以及后文“And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them.(当他们到达悉尼时，他们只剩下27美分来维持生活)”可知，上文说明了旅行持续的时间，推测本句会解释旅行的距离。故C选项“他们已经走了一万多英里了”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据后文“The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route.(如果回到1972年的英国，他们本可以去的书店对他们的路线几乎没有什么实用的建议)”可知，后文提到了1972年的书店对路线没有实用的建议，推测本句针对他们获得的旅行指导或建议进行设问。故F选项“这对年轻夫妇在这一切中有什么指导？”符合语境，故选F。 5．根据后文“And these notes would ate prove to be a very valuable resource for the book Across Asia on the Cheap, beginning of their Lonely Planet guidebooks — the gospel (真理) of adventure travel for tens of millions of readers.(这些笔记后来被证明是《廉价穿越亚洲》这本书的宝贵资料，这本书是《孤独星球》旅行指南的开端，对数千万读者来说，这本书是冒险旅行的福音)”可知，后文提到了笔记成为资料，说明他们在旅途中进行了记录。故D选项“托尼每天都非常仔细地记录信息”符合语境，故选D。 Passage 4 (23-24高三上·广东·期末) What are the health benefits of root vegetables?

But with everything going on in the world, concentrating can often feel down-right impossible. Below are some tips to help you find your flow. Distract (使分心) your brain. Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what’s called the “default (默认的) mode network” for a bit of freestyle activities. 1 . It’s the place where our minds find innovation and creativity and often make better decisions than the focused mind. 2 . This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe it’s a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer your mind a fresh approach to the job at hand. Block interruptions before diving into deep work. 3 . To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts. Be vital when you want a deep dive into focus. Your important work benefits when you shut off or put away your phone and other screens. Know your body clock. Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don’t spend your day — in particular your peak brain hours — doing busywork. 4 . Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we’re facing at work or home. 5 . A．Try to daydream what happened B．We try to obtain focus but in vain C．Engage in positive constructive daydreaming D．Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff E．This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens F．Our days are filled with distractions, from others and ourselves G．Allowing your mind time to play is another way to invite innovation 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．F 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几种提高注意力的方法。 1．上文“Schedule into every workday some breaks from all that focusing and allow your mind to travel into what’s called the “default (默认的) mode network” for a bit of freestyle activities.(在每个工作日安排一些休息时间，让你的大脑进入所谓的‘默认模式网络’”，进行一些自由活动。)”建议在每个工作日安排一些休息时间，让大脑进入“默认模式网络”；E选项“This network of the brain circuit is where magic happens(这个大脑回路网络就是奇迹发生的地方)”承接上文，对大脑的“默认模式网络”进一步阐述，选线中的“This network”指代上文中的“default (默认的) mode network”。故选E。 2．句子结构分析可知，设空处此段为主旨句；下文“This involves first turning your attention inward. Try traveling with your mind to someplace enjoyable — maybe it’s a walk through an imaginary forest or sunbathing on a warm sandy beach. Doing this several times a day can offer your mind a fresh approach to the job at hand.(这包括首先将你的注意力转向内部。试着带着你的思想去一个令人愉快的地方旅行——也许是在想象中的森林里散步，或者在温暖的沙滩上晒日光浴。)”建议想象自己去一个令人愉快的地方旅行，比如想象中的森林里散步，或者在温暖的沙滩上晒太阳；C选项“Engage in positive constructive daydreaming(做一些积极的、有建设性的白日梦)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为主旨句。故选C。 3．本段主旨句“Block interruptions before diving into deep work.(在投入工作之前屏蔽干扰)”指出投入工作之前要屏蔽干扰；下文“To help, turn off text messaging, notifications and social media alerts.(为了有所帮助，关闭短信、通知和社交媒体提醒。)”指出关闭短信、通知和社交媒体提醒等会帮助屏蔽干扰，提高注意力；F选项“Our days are filled with distractions, from others and ourselves(我们的生活充满了干扰，来自他人和自己)”指出我们生活中充满干扰，符合语境。故选F。 4．根据上文“Whether you are sharp in the morning or a night owl, don’t spend your day — in particular your peak brain hours — doing busywork.(无论你是早晨思维敏捷还是夜猫子，都不要把一天的时间——尤其是大脑最活跃的时间——花在消磨时间的工作上。)”指出不要把一天的时间，尤其是大脑最活跃的时间花在消磨时间的工作上；D选项“Instead, reserve your best brain time for the big stuff(相反，把你大脑最好的时间留给重要的事情)”提出应该把大脑最好的时间用于做重要的事情，符合语境，选项中的“the big stuff”与上文中的“busywork”相对应。故选D。 5．上文“Try new hobbies. Engaging in hobbies not only is fun but can help us come up with new solutions to problems we’re facing at work or home.(尝试新的爱好。从事业余爱好不仅有趣，而且可以帮助我们想出解决工作或家庭中遇到的问题的新方法。)”建议尝试新的爱好，并指出这可以帮助我们想出解决问题的新方法；G项“Allowing your mind time to play is another way to invite innovation(让你的大脑有时间玩耍是另一种激发创新的方式)”承接上文，阐述尝试新爱好的益处，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 3 (23-24高三上·广东汕头·期末) How do we slow down and eat more deliberately? And what are some techniques we can use to eat at a healthy pace? 1 That’s when you use your senses to enjoy the food and notice how it makes you feel. The first tip is to take at least 20 minutes to finish your meal. Very often we find ourselves eating while doing something else, and that can make us eat faster than we normally would. When you sit down to eat, spend about 20 minutes doing so. 2 3 Remove all distractions while you eat. They can interfere with your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full. Spend time to eat and only eat. Make sure your cell phone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through. Noticing all the little details about your food would have great benefits as well. 4 One way to slow down is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal. Ask yourself: What’s on my plate? How hungry am I today? Is it too salty? Notice the smell, the texture and whatever other senses that arise as you eat. Instead of wolfing down, don’t forget to actually chew. If you’re inhaling (吸入) your food you’re probably not chewing it. 5 Look at each bite before popping it into your mouth, acknowledge what you’re eating and chew, chew, chew. A．Putting your phone away is also advisable. B．So, you’d better eat in a more healthy way. C．Second, remove food that would make you distract. D．Experts share helpful tips on how to eat more mindfully. E．Experts suggest that chewing is an important part of digestion. F．You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich. G．It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．A 4．F 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何在吃饭时以健康的速度有意识地进食。 1．前文“How do we slow down and eat more deliberately?

If you’re one of them and want to finish what you start, first of all, you must be careful to choose what you want to do. When you start on a project, make sure that it’s something you’re interested in. If you choose to do something you’re half-interested in, you’ll stop it halfway. 1 So if you are not sure whether this is something you really want to do, try it out on a small scale and see if it’s what you’re interested in. 2 Faced with temptations, ask yourself what’s more important to you — going out for the weekend or working on what you’ve planned to do? The former might bring you some joy, but the latter is what truly gives you satisfaction. On the other hand, don’t try to be perfect. 3 As a result, you’ll put off your work. Record your progress. You can create a project sheet that records your goals and your present state. And then review your progress every week. 4 What’s your task for the next week? This will encourage you to work towards your final goal. To avoid getting discouraged with all the things that need to be done, celebrate what you’ve done so far. Remember: everything you’ve done so far is an achievement! Give yourself a huge pat on the back and a big hug. 5 When you’re ready, go on with what you’re doing. A．They will lose heart and give up finally. B．What percent of your goal have you achieved? C．Otherwise, you’ll be afraid of making mistakes. D．Whatever you’ve planned, never change it easily. E．Take the opportunity to get back your strength and energy. F．Plan your time and resources accordingly and include them in your schedule. G．This will lead to a waste of time and energy that could be better used elsewhere. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何确保自己完成自己的计划或目标提出了一些建议。 1．根据上文“If you choose to do something you’re half-interested in, you’ll stop it halfway.(如果你选择做一些你不太感兴趣的事情，你会半途而废)”可知，本句承接上文说明半途而废的坏处。故G选项“这将导致时间和精力的浪费，这些时间和精力本可以用在更好的地方”符合语境，故选G。 2．根据后文“Faced with temptations, ask yourself what’s more important to you — going out for the weekend or working on what you’ve planned to do? The former might bring you some joy, but the latter is what truly gives you satisfaction.(面对诱惑，问问自己哪个对你来说更重要——周末出去玩还是完成你计划好的事情？前者可能会给你带来一些快乐，但后者才是真正让你满足的)”可知，后文提到了完成计划好的事情可以带来满足，此处是建议不要改变自己的计划。故D选项“无论你的计划是什么，永远不要轻易改变”符合语境，故选D。 3．根据上文“On the other hand, don’t try to be perfect.(另一方面，不要追求完美)”可知，本句说明不要追求完美的原因。故C选项“否则，你会害怕犯错误”符合语境，故选C。 4．根据后文“What’s your task for the next week?

Engaging with clay is a comforting activity that can reduce stress and anxiety. The focus and concentration required to sculpt clay can quiet the mind and promote relaxation. In addition to its healing benefits, making pottery provides a comforting sensory experience. 2 This process also involves repetitive motions such as throwing, shaping, and coloring, which can provide a sense of control and accomplishment, boosting self-confidence and reducing negative thoughts. 3 We may spend hours beautifying our pieces, choosing colors that speak to us, and hoping they will look as we envision after firing. Sometimes they do, especially for the fortunate or skilled. But often, we must learn to accept imperfection. As the experienced potter Meg Biddle puts it, "It’s finding that balance between control and unpredictability that gives me joy." Creating with clay is an overall experience that engages our hands, fine motor skills, and imagination. It is an extension of ourselves, allowing us to shape the clay with raw emotions while making detailed decisions. 4 In conclusion, pottery offers countless benefits for our well-being, including stress relief, creative expression, and the ability to let go. As we transform clay into a beautifully finished piece of art, we also take a step closer to our own transformation. Pottery is not just an art form. 5 A．Working with clay means taking your time. B．But pottery is more than just a creative pursuit. C．It’s also a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. D．Its touching nature allows the body and mind to unwind. E．Working with clay also teaches us to accept unpredictability. F．Through pottery, we have our external and internal desires expressed.

With that in mind, we asked experts to share their favorite praises and why they matter. Vanessa Bohns, a social psychologist at Cornell University, highlights her favorite “You handled that situation so well.” She recalls using this praise when observing a server manage a difficult customer interaction. “It comforts the person that his efforts didn’t go unnoticed”, she explains. 2 Being specific turns a so-so praise into a great one. Xuan Zhao, a behavioral scientist at Stanford University, appreciates the praise “ 3 ”. This remark acknowledges someone’s effort to develop potential in others. It’s particularly meaningful for those in leadership or teaching roles. 4 Bohns conducted a research where college students approached passers-by to praise them on items like their shirts. It showed that participants underestimated how good these praises would make the receivers feel, while overestimating how annoying it would be to be approached by a stranger. “Across all contexts, it makes people feel better than we expect,” Bohns states. Zhao’s favorite praise, “You make even ordinary moments feel extraordinary,” works well with family and friends. It beautifully highlights how someone’s presence enriches everyday life. 5 However, as long as you speak genuinely, both you and the receiver will leave the interaction feeling happier. A．I’m grateful for your patience. B．I love the way you bring out the best in people. C．Praising strangers may be unexpectedly welcoming. D．Our praises for passers-by should be carefully chosen.

Archaeologists discovered bones and tortoise shells carved with the earliest form of Chinese script. They also found the Houmuwu Ding — a rectangular bronze container and at the time, the biggest bronze object ever found. 2 In the third century, a large number of literati and poets created many masterpieces here, forming the Jian’an Style of literature. 3 In the 1960s, under very difficult conditions, people in the Linxian County of Anyang (today’s Linzhou City) built the Red Flag Canal (Hongqi Qu) to channel water from Zhuozhang River to towns and villages of Linzhou City. It supplies water to 670,000 people, watering over 33,500 hectares of land. 4 Thanks to the sufficient water supply and rich soil, Linzhou has tree farms, fishponds, and fruit gardens.

The music builds up, hearts double in size and faith in humanity is restored. 1 Before taking that step, there are a few things to consider. First is the element of surprise. The timing could be a surprise, but the animal should absolutely not be a surprise. The decision should be based on many conversations. Everyone involved should understand the long term consequences, children included. 2 Next, you’ll choose whether to adopt from a shelter or rescue. 3 They are across the country flooded with lovable animals. They also offer physical locations where you can meet a lot of animals at once. On the other hand, rescues are smaller and funded by donations. They often rely on fosters to house animals. 4 Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving that your landlord allows pets. Check to see if applying online is possible. If you’re applying in person, make sure you know what to bring. If you’re worried about the huge responsibility of choosing the pet for your child, you can wrap a leash (牵引绳) or a pet bag as the gift, and then take the future pet owner to the shelter. 5 This step will be more meaningful and memorable than just having an animal show up at your door.

They often rely on fosters to house animals.(另一方面，救援机构规模较小，资金来自捐赠。他们经常依靠饲养员来饲养动物。)”介绍的是救援机构的动物。由此可知，空处指的是收容所的情况。选项C“Shelters tend to be larger and quicker to process applications.(收容所往往更大，处理申请的速度也更快。)”与上下文内容相符。故选C。 4．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Applications and their processing times vary and can include tasks like proving that your landlord allows pets.

(许多防晒霜都宣称它们是“对珊瑚礁友好的”，这没有明确的定义，它们的使用也不受政府机构的监管。)”说明有些防晒霜宣称对珊瑚友好，但是没有明确的定义，因此也有可能对珊瑚礁有害，所以要仔细阅读上面的成分说明。因此推断A项“所以最好仔细阅读细则”符合语境，故选A。 2．下文“If you forget to bring one, find an abandoned bag at the beach. It may seem a little gesture, but it will help remove rubbish. By working together people can really make a difference.

(它们是风暴的屏障，也是许多动物的家园。)”说明标识语会建议人们远离沙丘，因为沙丘是海滩动物的保护屏障和家园。故选B。 5．前一句“Sea turtles have heavy bodies and they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped. (海龟的身体很重，如果掉进洞里被困住，它们就会死亡。)”讲 在沙滩建立的沙堡和渠道的一个危害，E项“沙子结构也会阻止它们到达产仔区”符合语境，接着讲另外一个危害。故选E。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 （应用文） 主题 人与自我——做人与做事 (23-24高三上·广东江门·期末) The world is filled with challenges. 1 .

Maybe concerns about injuries kept you on the sideline. 1 Here’s why. You can do it anywhere. Step out your front door. 2 You can walk around areas that you frequent, such as a grocery store, a shopping center, a place of worship, or the homes of friends and family. 3 Stanford University researchers found that people generated twice as many creative responses to problems when walking compared with sitting. And the creative juices continued to flow even when they sat down after their walk — another good reason to take a walking break during the workday. You can get “me” time. Heading out by yourself can be a good way to escape the demands and expectations that occupy much of your time. 4 It can be valuable, quiet “me” time, allowing you to return refreshed. Walking is not only healthy and easy, but it’s also fun. To some people, exercise feels like hard boring work. With walking, however, you can attend yourself in multiple ways. You can do it with others. Invite family, friends, or co-workers to join you for a walk. 5 A．You can be more creative. B．You can gain a new viewpoint. C．Take a walk from where you work. D．It’s gentle on your knees and the rest of your body. E．Walking could just be the way to keep your resolution. F．As you walk, you can clear your head, relax, and reflect.

Passage 2 (24-25高三上·广东汕头·期末) Beating Your Test Anxiety It’s that time of year again for high school students. 1 It’s safe to say that, while no one looks forward to testing, those who suffer from test anxiety can feel overwhelmed by this pressure-filled schedule. To help manage this anxiety, let’s start with some strategies. Firstly, remind yourself that some level of anxiety is normal, and feeling a little stressed can actually improve your performance. Encourage yourself with self-statements like “I can handle this.” 2 Use positive imagery to visualize yourself successfully completing the exam. Furthermore, being well-prepared is the key, so organize your study material and take time over several days, or even weeks, to review it. Avoid cramming (填满) right before the exam, as this can heighten anxiety. 3 Get good sleep, not just the night before the exam. It can help you strengthen the memories you created during study time. 4 Budget your time and pace yourself so you have adequate time to finish the test. Don’t skip over directions — read them carefully! If you get stuck on a question or section, skip and then return to it later. If you feel you have “gone blank,” allow yourself to mark some responses anyway. If you are blank about an essay question, just start writing whatever you know. 5 Finally, after the exam is over, it’s important to reflect on your experience and reward yourself for the changes you made in your habits. Remember, while testing is an unavoidable part of a student’s life, preparation and calming strategies can turn anxiety into confidence. A．However, no one feels excited. B．Secondly, prepare your review materials. C．Before the winter holiday comes the final exam. D．Practice relaxation techniques and deep breathing. E．This action can help bring the correct answer to your mind. F．Now, let’s discuss how to manage anxiety during the exam. G．In addition to mental preparation, physical well-being is crucial. Passage 3 (24-25高三上·广东华附 省实 广雅 深中四校联考·期末) On July 4, 1972, a pair of young newlyweds named Tony and Maureen were on the driveway of a family home in the south of England. 1 . Or somewhere. They had a trunk full of food, cooking equipment and some sleeping bags. They believed that their journey across Asia would be nothing more than a little adventure before they settled down to a steady, middle-class life in England. And it turned out to be just the kind of adventure the couple longed for. They got caught in a snowstorm in the Italian Alps; bumped into a motorcycle in Iran; then sold their car. From there, it was a bus to Pakistan, then on to India. The couple hitchhiked south across Thailand and on through Malaysia and Singapore. 2 . Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia. 3 . And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them. 4 . The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route. But that’s not to say that Tony and Maureen had nothing to guide them. As they would discover soon, their single best source of information was the other travelers they’d encounter on the road. 5 . And these notes would ate prove to be a very valuable resource for the book Across Asia on the Cheap, beginning of their Lonely Planet guidebooks — the gospel (真理) of adventure travel for tens of millions of readers. A．They would also exchange information. B．They once wanted to stop their journey. C．They’d covered over ten thousand miles. D．Tony took very careful notes of the information every day. E．They set out on the final leg of the trip-Western Australia. F．What did the young couple have to guide them in all of this? G．They were driving a used minivan and their goal was to get to India.

Here’s where root vegetables such as sweet potatoes, onions, turnips, parsnips and swede come in — they’re rich in fibre. 1 Orange-coloured vegetables boost your immunity. These foods, known as carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), are a great source of vitamins A and C． 2 Otherwise, you will catch a cold easily. Carrots can protect against the sun. 3 But did you know they also offer your skin some protection against sunburn? According to a meta-analysis of seven studies, beta-carotene supplementation over ten weeks appeared to have a protective effect. But don’t use them as a substitute for a high SPF sunscreen! 4 In a study spanning eight European countries, people who ate the most root vegetables had a 13 percent lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with those who consumed the least. These vegetables are good for heart health. High cholesterol (胆固醇) can lead to heart problems. Studies have shown garlic can reduce cholesterol. 5 Root vegetables’ high fibre content also helps lower blood pressure as well as cholesterol. A．It’s a truth that carrots are good for eyes.

You can create a project sheet that records your goals and your present state. And then review your progress every week. 4 What’s your task for the next week? This will encourage you to work towards your final goal. To avoid getting discouraged with all the things that need to be done, celebrate what you’ve done so far.

Xuan Zhao, a behavioral scientist at Stanford University, appreciates the praise “ 3 ”. This remark acknowledges someone’s effort to develop potential in others. It’s particularly meaningful for those in leadership or teaching roles. 4 Bohns conducted a research where college students approached passers-by to praise them on items like their shirts. It showed that participants underestimated how good these praises would make the receivers feel, while overestimating how annoying it would be to be approached by a stranger. “Across all contexts, it makes people feel better than we expect,” Bohns states.

It is the earliest capital of China in written record. 1 In the early 20th century, the Shang Dynasty ruins were unearthed in Xiaotun Village, Yindu District of the city. Archaeologists discovered bones and tortoise shells carved with the earliest form of Chinese script. They also found the Houmuwu Ding — a rectangular bronze container and at the time, the biggest bronze object ever found. 2 In the third century, a large number of literati and poets created many masterpieces here, forming the Jian’an Style of literature. 3 In the 1960s, under very difficult conditions, people in the Linxian County of Anyang (today’s Linzhou City) built the Red Flag Canal (Hongqi Qu) to channel water from Zhuozhang River to towns and villages of Linzhou City. It supplies water to 670,000 people, watering over 33,500 hectares of land. 4 Thanks to the sufficient water supply and rich soil, Linzhou has tree farms, fishponds, and fruit gardens. Standing on top of a hill in the outskirt of Linzhou City, one can see green mountains and crop fields. Today, the grand project has inspired generations of Chinese with a pioneering and hard-working spirit.
