Is it bad to work out in cold weather? 1 . With winter now, here is what the doctors and personal trainers want you to know about exercising in cold weather.
Burn extra calories
In cold climates, your body needs to perform extra heat to keep your body warm. Brown fat is the type of body fat that helps control body temperature. When you’re outside in the cold, brown fat burns calories in order to increase body temperature. 2 .

Exercising outside during the winter is thought to be one useful way to avoid a type of disorder or depression that tends to affect people during the dark winter months.

For a long time, I thought only skinny and strong people could finish the half marathon (马拉松) at the Baltimore Running Festival. 1 . Preparing for the event has taught me some valuable lessons I’d like to share.
Train yourself as people first and marathoners second. 2 . It is the confidence that will carry you across the finish line on the race day. The saying “life is a marathon, not a short run” applies!
Make sure to take your time. 3 . Your goal is to get comfortable running three to four times a week, with your longest run being roughly 5 or 6 miles.
4 . Once you’ve completed your basic training, look for a training program that lasts about four months. Week-to-week, the plan should guide you to increase the distance by no more than 10 to 15% a week. Don’t go to the coach who pushes you too hard in a single training cycle. It could result in injuries.
Running a marathon is an investment (投入) of time and money. If you’re going to spend your hard-earned money somewhere, it’s worth investing in an excellent pair of running shoes. 5 .

B.Choose a training plan that’s safe
C.But last year, I eventually made up my mind to have a try

What Teenagers Can Do to Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition (过渡) to adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (品质) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 1
Contribute to the household.
At the very least, clean up after yourself. 2 When you make a mess, clean it up. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room. Your doing the chores helps to reduce the person’s load who did the chores before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you do the household? The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
Be responsible.
3 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or being more involved in chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities in time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
4
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 5 Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省西安市·期末)
“Father of hybrid rice” Yuan Longping passed away at 13: 07 pm in Changsha of Hunan province, 1 .
2 . The globally renown agronomist (农学家) known for developing the first hybrid rice strains, was born on the ninth day of the seventh month in 1930, according to the lunar calendar. 3 --feeding nearly one-fifth of the world’s population with less than 9 percent of the world’s total land. In 1949, Yuan applied for Southwest Agricultural College and began his special connection with rice--a staple food of the Chinese people that would become the focus of his lifelong research career.
A discovery of a peculiar wild rice species by Yuan in the southern island of Hainan in 1970 became the prelude (序曲) of China’s decades of hybrid rice research. Three years later, he cultivated the world’s first high- yielding hybrid rice train with three lines, namely, the male sterile, maintainer and restorer.
4 Hybrid rice recorded an annual yield about 20 percent higher than that of conventional rice strains--meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year.
5 In September 2017, a strain of low-cadmium indica (籼稻;籼型) rice developed by Yuan’s team and the Hunan provincial academy of agricultural sciences was able to reduce the average amount of cadmium (镉) in rice by more than 90 percent in areas suffering from heavy metal pollution.
A.Yuan was undergoing treatment at a hospital, Yuan’s son Yuan Ding’an, and Yuan’s secretary Yang Yaosong confirmed.
B.it is said byYuan’s son Yuan Ding’an.
C.He has helped China work a great wonder.
D.Now the focus of Yuan’s hybrid rice project has changed from increasing output to green and sustainable development.
E.Yuan’s hybrid rice project aimed to create the best of it.
F.Hybrid rice has since been grown across the Country and farmers reaped incredible output after switching to Yuan’s hybrid varieties.
G.Xinhua reported on Saturday.

How to add green tech to your home
Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. 1
Install smart light bulbs
One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. 2 Just use your phone to shut them down.
3
Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones? For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone? 4
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. 5 Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.
A.Add smart plugs everywhere
B.Forgot to turn off the lights?
C.Anyone can achieve it easily.
D.Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.
E.Upcycle it instead of throwing it into the dust bin.
F.The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.
G.Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏石嘴山市·期末)
Courtesy in English
Courtesy (礼貌) is an art form that shows our moral character. China's history is one of a civilization (文明) with a highly developed sense of etiquette (礼仪) ; therefore, we should speak English as politely as possible when we go abroad.
Ordering meals
1 Beginning your request with “May I...?” “Could I...?” is considered polite. For example, “May I have a latte?” It is also politer to say, “I’ll have...” or “I’d like...” instead of “I want...” because it will be considered as less direct.
Asking for help
If we need to ask someone for help, we should say, “Excuse me, or Do you mind if I ask you something?” 2 Instead, for example, we should say, “Could you tell me where the rest rooms are?”
3
Local people in other countries sometimes speak really fast, so it can be hard for us to catch all the words. In such a situation, we can say, “Pardon me?” to ask them to repeat what they said. In my opinion, saying “Can you please repeat that? I didn't follow.” is the politest way.
Refusing an invitation
4 If we really can't make it, we can first say, “I’d like to ...” and then say, “but I have to work late”, for example. Or “I’m afraid I can't...”, or even, “That sounds great, but ...”
Expressing disagreement
We can use sentences like “I see what you're saying, but I think...”,or “You could be right, but don't forget that...” or even, “Yes, that's true, but I'm not sure that...” 5
A.Can't catch what's been said?
B.We should not ask our questions directly.
C.Being polite when you order something is very important.
D.Do you know some basic rules of answering the telephone?
E.It is also important to know how to refuse someone’s invitation.
F.“Please” and “thank you” go a long way when we speak to each other.
G.These are great ways to express disagreement politely by being less direct.

Set up a gym area. It can be quite difficult to work out at home without a specific area that you can use. So make sure to set up one, even if it’s just at the side of your bed.

Draw up plans ahead of time. One of the first things that you need to do to ensure that you stay fit at home is give exercise a priority in your plan. 3 However, sometimes, it’s only a matter of priorities and making time for the things that matter the most, such as exercising to keep your body physically and mentally fit.
4 This is specifically important when you feel that the routines that you are performing are becoming too easy for you, or simply when you get tired of doing the same set of exercises daily. For example, if you are already tired of doing push-ups, why not try to do something different?
Don’t forget a self-care routine. 5 You need to focus on your mental health as well. If you feel good mentally, the positive energy will spread physically. In this case, you will be healthier.

Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省汉中市·期末)
Do you know how to protect yourself during an earthquake? Even if you’ve experienced one before, the sudden shaking of an earthquake can catch you off guard 1
Protect Yourself at Home
Stay inside your house and take cover 2 Look for other potential falling danger, such as bookshelves and other heavy objects, and move away from them. A safer option than standing in a doorway is climbing under a strong table to protect your body from falling objects.
Protect Yourself in Public Spaces
Public spaces can be more dangerous because of other people and the potential falling items 3 So if you also head toward the doors, you could get pushed or hurt in the crowd. Don’t hurry to move. If you’re in a store, try to avoid shelves or displays with lots of items that could fall on you.
Protect Yourself Outdoors
If you’re already outdoors when the shaking starts, the best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to stay outside 4 Instead, an open area away from anything that could fall is the safest spot outdoors.
Protect Yourself While Driving
5 Choose a spot away from things that could fall on your car. Engage your emergency brake and stay inside your car. After the earthquake, do a quick assessment before you move. If power lines land on your car, don’t get out or try to drive.
A.Other people might try to make a quick exit

D.You are likely to meet other dangers like strong winds and darkness

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山西省忻州市·期末)
Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints? 1 .
Express more, explain less. 2 We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it, But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression. When you focus on expressing points instead of explaining ideas, you’ll communicate more precisely (精确地). Expressing and delivering are more important about what your audience hears and receives.
3 Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed? When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. 4 .
Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut. 5 When you say even one word more than you need to, you make your point one word harder for your audience to receive.
A.Remove unnecessary ideas
B.Know your “Need-to-Know”
C.These four tips shouldn’t be missed
D.You can’t change the style of your writing
E.Explaining is often an understanding behavior
F.Everyone benefits from applying this writing rule
G.You can read it aloud yourself to find out the words
Passage 5
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏银川·期末)
Sometimes, when considering our own beliefs, we can find it challenging to accept other ways of life and rituals. However, close-mindedness and prejudice (偏见) are not the way to go, especially when there is so much we can learn about other cultures. Learning to accept and respect other cultures is an important step that opens your mind to the world around you and everyone’s unique differences.
Develop an open mind. Open the doors of your mind to accept what other people believe in. Try not to stereotype or brush things off when you haven’t actually taken a closer look yet. 1
Take a look at history. The way some civilizations developed can be fascinating! 2 When you start studying, you’ll understand how things moved together to form the world we live in today. It’s a great piece of knowledge to have, so don’t rob yourself of it! There are plenty of books and sites available to fuel your curiosity. Appreciate the way different people fought for what they believed in, even if those beliefs differ from yours.
3 .Sample some Italian or try your hand at cooking curry. Enjoy different foods and the different way meals are prepared. Don’t limit yourself, try everything and smile.
Talk to people. 4 It will help you understand that though they may believe and practice different things. That doesn’t make them strange or backward. Developing friendships with those from other cultures can be a really great experience.
Watching movies from different countries, like Bollywood movies or those on ancient happenings can be eye opening and help you appreciate different societies. If you’re into fashion, try sampling different culture’s dress and styles 5 If you’re having issues with racism and discrimination, try talking to someone to understand why you feel this way.
A.Try some new cooking.
B.Try doing something magical.
C.Try studying about ancient times.

Passage 6
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏银川·期末)
Dreams come true through actions, and the best action is to set and achieve goals. Realizing your goals is important. As you realize your goals, you will find relief from many problems that seem to trouble you. 1 With the following of plans and actions come achievements, success, and accomplishments.
Self-realization is an understanding of your direction in life. If you understand your direction, you will see what you must do to achieve your goals. 2 This action of achievement makes you feel satisfied and complete. Even if only for a few hours, it still feels good.
3 If a person doesn’t have goals, he often feels a lack of purposes, wondering what the purpose of life is. The real meaning of life is growth. When something is growing, it is alive. For us humans we stop physically growing around the age of 21, so after that milestone we can only continue to grow mentally, spiritually, and psychologically. 4 Having a purpose in life provides principles, ideas, motivation and a reason to live. If you have a purpose, you will feel competent and confident. This takes you to your goals since you focus on your objective in life.
5 For instance, a short-term goal is to walk around the block without stopping, then to run around the block without stopping, and then to increase the distance every time a goal is reached until the final goal of running a marathon is accomplished. If you start by trying to run the marathon, you will fail, but by starting with smaller goals, you will succeed.
A.Goals are an essential part of life.
B.When you reach a goal, you get realization.
C.The realization of self will bring you satisfaction.
D.But first you must set a goal, and then plans and actions will follow.
E.As for the long-term goals, they are what will determine your life.
F.To keep growing we must have a purpose, whether we invent one or discover one.
G.The most important way to realize your goals is to set up short-term goals that work toward long-term goals.
Passage 7
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏西夏区·期末)
Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice. 1 Here are some guidelines to help you improve your reading and comprehension skills and become a better English student.
· 2
Learning any new language is a time-consuming process. Rather than try a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
·Read, watch, and listen
Reading English newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you develop your writing and speaking skills. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously improve your pronunciation, accents, and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you read or hear. 3 Use them the next time you are role-playing dialogue in class.
·Play vocabulary and grammar games
You can also improve your English skills by playing vocabulary games that are related to what you’re studying in class. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did. 4
·Write it down
5 Take 30 minutes at the end of class or study to write down what happened during your day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself and have some fun with creative writing exercises. Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph, or write a short story or poem about someone you know well. You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A.Set a goal.
B.Study every day.
C.It can even be fun.
D.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
E.Then, do some research to learn what those new words mean.
F.Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.
G.Repetition is key to learning English, and writing exercises are a great way to practice.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·山西省晋中市·期末)
Is it bad to work out in cold weather? 1 . With winter now, here is what the doctors and personal trainers want you to know about exercising in cold weather.
Burn extra calories
In cold climates, your body needs to perform extra heat to keep your body warm. Brown fat is the type of body fat that helps control body temperature. When you’re outside in the cold, brown fat burns calories in order to increase body temperature. 2 .
Help increase willpower
Working out in the heat can cause you to become tired more easily, since it increases sweating and your heart rate more rapidly. 3 . It may mean you can build willpower (毅力) more easily.
4
Exercising outside during the winter is thought to be one useful way to avoid a type of disorder or depression that tends to affect people during the dark winter months. Sunlight and exercise both have a positive impact on your mental (精神的) condition. They help give out more “feel good” chemicals, including serotonin and endorphins.
Help you sleep better
The combination of sunlight exposure (暴露) during the daytime, fresh air and physical activity can help you relax and sleep well at night. 5 . It is also called your “internal clock” which makes you feel sleepy enough at night and awake enough in the morning.
Exercising in cold weather isn’t for everyone, though. If you have any health problems, it is advisable to talk with your health care provider first.
A.Support heart health
B.Improve your mental health
C.It can make you take regular exercise
D.In this process it can likely help you to lose weight

Decision Making
Making decisions in life can be difficult 1 . In fact, the decisions you make today will not only influence your future, but also other people and the world in which you live.
Decision making involves (涉及) thinking, talking, and searching for information related to a problem 2 . You do this by talking with others who know about the subject, going to the library, and thinking about two or more solutions.
Decision making usually happens when events, habits, and ways of living change. An example is your ten-year-old car breaks down and needs much money to repair. You need transportation to get to work, to do shopping, and to deal with other tasks 3 .
In deciding --or making a decision--there is a six-step process:
●Define (明确) the problem. Understand the problem clearly.
●Collect and list all the information you can get on the problem.
● 4 . It is important to have many possible solutions to the situation. It will take time to research the variety of solutions.
● 5 . Look at the good and bad sides to each solution. What are the results of each?
Answer the questions: Will this solution be good for me... the family... co-workers? Stay with your values and those of your family.
●Choose the best solution to solve your problem.
●Evaluate (评估) the decision you made. Decide if you need to change your action plan.
A.Set clearly defined goals or action plans.

Passage 7
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省咸阳市·期末)
What Teenagers Can Do to Earn More Respect
As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition (过渡) to adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits (品质) are not yet accepted as a way of life. 1
Contribute to the household.
At the very least, clean up after yourself. 2 When you make a mess, clean it up. This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room. Your doing the chores helps to reduce the person’s load who did the chores before. Now that you’re old enough and capable, why shouldn’t you do the household? The people doing the chores before will greatly appreciate the help.
Be responsible.
3 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or being more involved in chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities in time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.
4
Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. 5 Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline. When you become a good problem solver, you will increase your value to the community.
A.As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself.
B.It will make your life more pleasant.
C.Solve more of your own problems without asking for help.
D.When speaking to a group, speak loud enough.
E.Seek help only after you have made an honest effort.
F.Everyone has certain responsibilities.
G.By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.F 4.C 5.E
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了青少年如何才能获得更多尊重的方法。
1.根据标题“What Teenagers Can Do to Earn More Respect(青少年如何赢得尊重)”和小标题“Contribute to the household.(为家庭做出贡献。)”可知,此处是指按照下面的要求做就能得到更多的尊重,所以选项G“通过做以下的事情,你会赢得更多的尊重。”切合文意。故选G。
2.根据前文“At the very least, clean up after yourself.(至少,把你自己打理干净。)”可知,此处是指作为青少年要把自己打理干净,所以选项A“作为一个青少年,你已经长大了,可以自己打扫卫生了。”切合文意。故选A。
3.根据小标题“Be responsible.(要负责任。)”和后文“Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or being more involved in chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities in time.(无论是基本的事情,比如刷牙或做作业,还是更多地参与家务,只要及时履行你的责任就行了。)”可知,此处是指每个人都有应负的责任,所以选项F“每个人都有一定的责任。”切合文意。故选F。
4.根据后文“Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first.(与其采取简单的方法寻求帮助,不如先努力自己解决问题。)”可知,此处是指要努力学会独立解决问题,所以选项C“不要寻求帮助,多解决自己的问题。”切合文意。故选C。
5.根据后文“Depending on the problem, 15 minutes of effort is usually a good guideline.(根据问题的不同,15分钟的努力通常是一个很好的指导。)”可知,此处是指要在确实已经做过充分努力之后再寻求帮助,所以选项E“只有在你做出诚实的努力之后才寻求帮助。”切合文意。故选E。

“Father of hybrid rice” Yuan Longping passed away at 13: 07 pm in Changsha of Hunan province, 1 .
2 . The globally renown agronomist (农学家) known for developing the first hybrid rice strains, was born on the ninth day of the seventh month in 1930, according to the lunar calendar. 3 --feeding nearly one-fifth of the world’s population with less than 9 percent of the world’s total land. In 1949, Yuan applied for Southwest Agricultural College and began his special connection with rice--a staple food of the Chinese people that would become the focus of his lifelong research career.
A discovery of a peculiar wild rice species by Yuan in the southern island of Hainan in 1970 became the prelude (序曲) of China’s decades of hybrid rice research. Three years later, he cultivated the world’s first high- yielding hybrid rice train with three lines, namely, the male sterile, maintainer and restorer.
4 Hybrid rice recorded an annual yield about 20 percent higher than that of conventional rice strains--meaning it could feed an extra 70 million people a year.
5 In September 2017, a strain of low-cadmium indica (籼稻;籼型) rice developed by Yuan’s team and the Hunan provincial academy of agricultural sciences was able to reduce the average amount of cadmium (镉) in rice by more than 90 percent in areas suffering from heavy metal pollution.
A.Yuan was undergoing treatment at a hospital, Yuan’s son Yuan Ding’an, and Yuan’s secretary Yang Yaosong confirmed.
B.it is said byYuan’s son Yuan Ding’an.
C.He has helped China work a great wonder.
D.Now the focus of Yuan’s hybrid rice project has changed from increasing output to green and sustainable development.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省大同市·期末)
How to add green tech to your home
Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet. 1
Install smart light bulbs
One quick way to reduce energy use is to switch all your light bulbs to energy-efficient versions called smart bulbs and use a virtual assistant to control them. These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers. 2 Just use your phone to shut them down.
3
Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones? For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone? 4
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. 5 Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.
A.Add smart plugs everywhere
B.Forgot to turn off the lights?
C.Anyone can achieve it easily.
D.Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.
E.Upcycle it instead of throwing it into the dust bin.
F.The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.
G.Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.A 4.D 5.F
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了如何将绿色科技添加到您的家中。
1.根据前文“Green tech involves combining technology and science to create environmentally friendly products. The idea is by using products and services in the home to reduce energy consumption, waste, or harmful effects on the environment, we can all help the planet.(绿色科技是指将技术和科学相结合,创造出对环境友好的产品。这个想法是通过在家里使用产品和服务来减少能源消耗、浪费或对环境的有害影响,我们都可以帮助地球)”可知,本文的主题是介绍绿色科技,以及在家里使用绿色科技来减少能源消耗、浪费或对环境的有害影响,所以G项“Below are several quick and easy ideas you can start using today.(下面是几个快速简单的方法,你可以从今天开始使用)”承接上文,进一步提出本文主题,引出下文。故选G项。
2.根据前文“These bulbs tend to use about 7 to 9.5 watts of power yet provide the same amount of light a 60-watt ordinary bulb offers.(这些灯泡往往使用7到9.5瓦的功率,却能提供与60瓦普通灯泡相同的亮度)”以及后文“Just use your phone to shut them down.(用手机关掉他们就行了)”可知,前文内容和后文无法连接,所以空处应是一个过渡句,引出下文,B项“Forgot to turn off the lights?(忘记关灯了?)”可知,下文是对此句的回答,且是介绍智能灯泡的方便,符合本段主题。故选B项。
3.分析设空,是本段小标题,应是对本段的高度概括,根据下文“Smart plugs are a great option, too, for controlling devices like televisions, coffee makers, or almost anything that plugs into a wall socket to work. Devices like these use energy just by being plugged in, so using your phone or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.(智能插头也是一个很好的选择,可以用来控制电视、咖啡机或几乎任何可以插在墙上插座上工作的设备。像这样的设备只要插上电源就会消耗能量,所以使用你的手机或虚拟助手根据需要打开或关闭插头有助于阻止能量的消耗)”可知,本段主要讲述在家里使用智能插头,所以A项“Add smart plugs everywhere(到处添加智能插头)”符合本段主题,为本段小标题。故选A项。
4.根据前文“For example, you can upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android phone?(例如,你可以升级你的旧电脑和笔记本电脑,把它们改造成家庭安全监视器。你有一部旧的安卓手机吗?)”可知,此处是针对本段主题在具体举例,所以空处应是说明把旧的安卓手机升级为“什么”,D项“Upcycle it into a remote control for your TV.(将其升级为电视遥控器)”符合实际。故选D项。
5.根据前文“It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home.(开始在家里添加绿色科技并不难)”以及后文“Once you start, you’ll quickly see how convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.(一旦你开始使用,你很快就会发现绿色科技是多么方便,开始使用它是多么容易)”可知,F项“The real difficulty is in deciding to take that first small step today.(真正的困难在于今天决定迈出第一步)”承接上文,引出下文,符合文意。故选F项。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏石嘴山市·期末)
Courtesy in English
Courtesy (礼貌) is an art form that shows our moral character. China's history is one of a civilization (文明) with a highly developed sense of etiquette (礼仪) ; therefore, we should speak English as politely as possible when we go abroad.
Ordering meals
1 Beginning your request with “May I...?” “Could I...?” is considered polite. For example, “May I have a latte?” It is also politer to say, “I’ll have...” or “I’d like...” instead of “I want...” because it will be considered as less direct.
Asking for help
If we need to ask someone for help, we should say, “Excuse me, or Do you mind if I ask you something?” 2 Instead, for example, we should say, “Could you tell me where the rest rooms are?”
3
Local people in other countries sometimes speak really fast, so it can be hard for us to catch all the words. In such a situation, we can say, “Pardon me?” to ask them to repeat what they said. In my opinion, saying “Can you please repeat that? I didn't follow.” is the politest way.
Refusing an invitation
4 If we really can't make it, we can first say, “I’d like to ...” and then say, “but I have to work late”, for example. Or “I’m afraid I can't...”, or even, “That sounds great, but ...”
Expressing disagreement
We can use sentences like “I see what you're saying, but I think...”,or “You could be right, but don't forget that...” or even, “Yes, that's true, but I'm not sure that...” 5
A.Can't catch what's been said?
B.We should not ask our questions directly.
C.Being polite when you order something is very important.
D.Do you know some basic rules of answering the telephone?
E.It is also important to know how to refuse someone’s invitation.
F.“Please” and “thank you” go a long way when we speak to each other.
G.These are great ways to express disagreement politely by being less direct.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.E 5.G
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了出国时我们要注意各个场合中的礼貌问题。
1.根据本段小标题“Ordering meals点餐”以及段落中的“May I have a latte?”等的提示,本段是在说明点餐时需要注意礼貌用语。且空白处所缺句子是本段主题句,故C选项“Being polite when you order something is very important.(当你点餐的时候要有礼貌,这很重要。)切题,故选C。
2.根据本段小标题“Asking for help寻求帮助”,以及段落中的问话内容“Excuse me, or Do you mind if I ask you something”等可知本段是在说明在向别人寻求帮助时需要注意的礼貌用语,又根据空白处后面的“instead”可知,空白处是告诉我们不要这么做,故B选项“We should not ask our questions directly(我们不应该直接问问题)”切题,故选B。
3.根据本段第一句话“Local people in other countries sometimes speak really fast, so it can be hard for us to catch all the words.(其他国家的当地人有时说话很快,所以我们很难听懂所有的单词。)”和后文中的问话内容“Pardon me?”“Can you please repeat that? I didn't follow.”,可知,本段是说明在理解不了别人说什么时需要注意的礼貌用语,且此句为小标题,和其他的小标题一样是一种场景,故A选项“Can't catch what's been said?(听不清说什么?)切题,选A。
4.根据本段小标题“Refusing an invitation拒绝邀请”以及段落中的对话内容如“but I have to work late”可知,本段是在说明拒绝别人邀请时的礼貌用语,空白处所缺句子为本段主题句,结合后文中的“If we really can't make it ,we can first say…”和E选项中的“how to refuse someone’s invitation.(怎样拒绝别人的邀请)”相呼应,故E选项how to refuse someone’s invitatio(怎样拒绝别人的邀请)切题。故选E。
5.根据本段小标题“Expressing disagreement表达不赞同”以及段落中的对话内容如“I see what you're saying, but I think...”,可知本段是在说明如果不赞同别人的观点,应该怎么礼貌表达,空白处所缺的句子在本段中起到总结作用,故G选项中“ These are great ways to express disagreement politely by being less direct.(这些都是通过不那么直接的方式礼貌地表达不同意见的好方法。)切题,故选G。

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一上·山西省朔州市·期末)
If you want to stay healthy, you need to get moving and start exercising. 1 But the truth is that you can perform a regular exercise routine (常规) even in the comfort of your home. Here are some good tips you can follow at home.
Set up a gym area. It can be quite difficult to work out at home without a specific area that you can use. So make sure to set up one, even if it’s just at the side of your bed. And you’d better prepare some sports equipment that you truly need there. You can also work with the things that you have at home. 2
Draw up plans ahead of time. One of the first things that you need to do to ensure that you stay fit at home is give exercise a priority in your plan. 3 However, sometimes, it’s only a matter of priorities and making time for the things that matter the most, such as exercising to keep your body physically and mentally fit.
4 This is specifically important when you feel that the routines that you are performing are becoming too easy for you, or simply when you get tired of doing the same set of exercises daily. For example, if you are already tired of doing push-ups, why not try to do something different?
Don’t forget a self-care routine. 5 You need to focus on your mental health as well. If you feel good mentally, the positive energy will spread physically. In this case, you will be healthier.
A.Pay more attention to your feelings.
B.Change your exercise routine if necessary.
C.This will remind you to stand up from time to time.
D.You may connect the workout with the need to go to the gym.
E.For example, it’s a good choice to use filled water bottles as weights.
F.Only taking care of your physical body to stay fit is far from enough.
G.The reason is that you may argue that you are too busy to exercise during the day.
【答案】1.D 2.E 3.G 4.B 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几条在家锻炼身体的建议。
1.此空设于段中,是一个过渡句,用于承上启下。上文“If you want to stay healthy, you need to get moving and start exercising. (如果你想保持健康,你需要动起来,开始锻炼。)”提到如果你想保持健康,就要开始锻炼。空处指出你或许会把锻炼和去健身房联系起来,下文“But the truth is that you can perform a regular exercise routine (常规) even in the comfort of your home. Here are some good tips you can follow at home. (但事实是,即使在舒适的家中,你也可以进行有规律的锻炼。这里有一些很好的建议,你可以在家里遵循。)”接着指出但事实是,即使在舒适的家里,你也可以进行有规律的锻炼,空处内容与下文构成转折关系,D选项“你可能会把锻炼和去健身房的需要联系起来”符合语境。故选D。
2.根据上文“And you’d better prepare some sports equipment that you truly need there. You can also work with the things that you have at home. (你最好准备一些你在那里真正需要的运动器材。你也可以使用家里的东西。)”指出你也可以使用家里的东西去锻炼,可知,空处就此进行举例说明。E选项“例如,用装满水的瓶子作为砝码是个不错的选择”符合语境,故选E。
3.根据上文“One of the first things that you need to do to ensure that you stay fit at home is give exercise a priority in your plan. (要想在家保持健康,你需要做的第一件事就是在你的计划中优先考虑锻炼。)”以及后文“However, sometimes, it’s only a matter of priorities and making time for the things that matter the most, such as exercising to keep your body physically and mentally fit. (然而,有时候,这只是一个优先考虑的问题,为最重要的事情腾出时间,比如锻炼身体,保持身心健康。)”可知,上文提到在制定计划时要把锻炼放在首要位置,空处指出这么做的原因是你可能会争辩说白天太忙,没有时间锻炼。下文表示转折,说明有时只是需要为最重要的事情腾出时间,比如锻炼。此空设于段中,与上文存在解释关系,与下文存在转折关系。故G项“原因是你可能会争辩说你白天太忙而没有时间锻炼”符合语境。故选G。
4.此空设于段首,是本段的主题句。根据本段内容“This is specifically important when you feel that the routines that you are performing are becoming too easy for you, or simply when you get tired of doing the same set of exercises daily. For example, if you are already tired of doing push-ups, why not try to do something different? (当你觉得你所做的例行公事对你来说变得太容易了,或者只是当你厌倦了每天做同样的一套练习时,这一点尤其重要。例如,如果你已经厌倦了做俯卧撑,为什么不尝试做一些不同的事情呢?)”可知,本段主要说明当你发现锻炼的常规计划不合适的时候,要适时地去改变。故B项“如果有必要,改变你的锻炼计划”可作为本段主题句。故选B。
5.根据后文“You need to focus on your mental health as well. (你也需要关注自己的心理健康。)”可知,此空设于段中,下文与其存在顺承关系,根据下文指出你也需要关注心理健康,说明空处说明仅仅照顾你的身体以保持健康是远远不够的,故F项“仅仅照顾好你的身体来保持健康是远远不够的”符合语境。故选F。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一上·陕西省汉中市·期末)
Do you know how to protect yourself during an earthquake? Even if you’ve experienced one before, the sudden shaking of an earthquake can catch you off guard 1
Protect Yourself at Home
Stay inside your house and take cover 2 Look for other potential falling danger, such as bookshelves and other heavy objects, and move away from them. A safer option than standing in a doorway is climbing under a strong table to protect your body from falling objects.
Protect Yourself in Public Spaces
Public spaces can be more dangerous because of other people and the potential falling items 3 So if you also head toward the doors, you could get pushed or hurt in the crowd. Don’t hurry to move. If you’re in a store, try to avoid shelves or displays with lots of items that could fall on you.
Protect Yourself Outdoors
If you’re already outdoors when the shaking starts, the best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to stay outside 4 Instead, an open area away from anything that could fall is the safest spot outdoors.
Protect Yourself While Driving
5 Choose a spot away from things that could fall on your car. Engage your emergency brake and stay inside your car. After the earthquake, do a quick assessment before you move. If power lines land on your car, don’t get out or try to drive.
A.Other people might try to make a quick exit
B.Stay away from windows to avoid broken glass
C.The right thing to do is to try to stay where you are
D.You are likely to meet other dangers like strong winds and darkness
E.Step far away from buildings whose pieces from their outside can fall off
F.Stop your vehicle and pull to the side of the road as soon as the earthquake starts
G.The following immediate responses to the earthquake may greatly ensure your security
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.A 4.E 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要针对四种不同的情形给出了如何在地震中自保的建议,旨在提高学生的安全防范意识,增强自保能力。
1.上文“Do you know how to protect yourself during an earthquake? Even if you’ve experienced one before, the sudden shaking of an earthquake can catch you off guard.( 你知道如何在地震中保护自己吗?即使你以前经历过地震,突然的震动也会让你措手不及)”说明在经历地震时,我们会措手不及。空处承上启下,G项中的“ensure your security”和上文中的“protect yourself”相呼应,“The following immediate responses”和下文所给出的建议相呼应,说明以下对地震的即时反应可能会极大地确保你的安全。故选G。
2.标题“Protect Yourself at Home(在家保护自己)”说明本段介绍的是人待在家里时发生地震的自保方法。下文“Look for other potential falling danger, such as bookshelves and other heavy objects, and move away from them.( 寻找其他潜在的坠落危险,如书架和其他重物,并远离它们)”说明寻找其他可能会坠落的危险物并远离它们。空处顺接前文,也应提及家里可能会坠落的危险物。B项“远离窗户,避免玻璃破碎”符合语境。故选B。
3.下文“So if you also head toward the doors, you could get pushed or hurt in the crowd.(所以如果你也朝门口走去,你可能会在人群中被推或受伤)”说明朝门口走也可能会在人群中被推挤或受伤。空处和下文为因果关系。A项中的“make a quick exit”和下文中的“head toward the doors”相呼应,说明因为A项“其他人可能会试图快速逃离”,所以在门口会被推挤或受伤。故选A。
4.空后“Instead, an open area away from anything that could fall is the safest spot outdoors.( 相反,远离任何可能掉落的东西的开放区域是户外最安全的地方)”说明没有物体掉落的开阔区域是户外最安全的地方。空处与空后存在转折关系,说明远离那些可能从外部脱落的建筑物。E项“远离那些可能从外部脱落的建筑物”符合语境,该项中的“buildings whose pieces from their outside can fall off”和下文中的“anything that could fall”先呼应。故选E。
5.下文“Choose a spot away from things that could fall on your car. Engage your emergency brake and stay inside your car.( 选择一个远离可能会砸到你车的东西的地方。启动紧急刹车,待在车里)”说明需要把车听到没有东西掉落的地方,并挂上紧急刹车,待在车内。空处承接标题,引出下文。F项中的“Stop your vehicle ”呼应标题中的“While Driving”,“ pull to the side of the road”和下文中的“Choose a spot”相呼应,说明F项“一旦地震开始,停车并把车停在路边”。故选F。
Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·山西省忻州市·期末)
Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints? 1 .
Express more, explain less. 2 We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it, But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression. When you focus on expressing points instead of explaining ideas, you’ll communicate more precisely (精确地). Expressing and delivering are more important about what your audience hears and receives.
3 Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed? When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.
Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall. 4 .
Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut. 5 When you say even one word more than you need to, you make your point one word harder for your audience to receive.
A.Remove unnecessary ideas
B.Know your “Need-to-Know”
C.These four tips shouldn’t be missed
D.You can’t change the style of your writing
E.Explaining is often an understanding behavior
F.Everyone benefits from applying this writing rule
G.You can read it aloud yourself to find out the words
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.A 4.F 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何清楚表达观点提出了一些建议。
1.根据上文“Say many things, and people will remember none. Say some things, and people will remember some. Say ONE thing, and people will remember ALL. Want to express clear viewpoints?(说很多事,别人什么也记不住。说一些事情,人们就会记住一些。说一件事,人们就会记住所有。想表达清楚的观点?)”结合后文主要就如何清楚表达观点提出了建议,故C选项“这四条建议不容错过”符合语境,故选C。
2.根据上文“Express more, explain less.(多表达,少解释)”以及后文“We think the audience doesn’t understand something, so we explain it. But in that case, explaining serves to correct a failed expression.(我们认为观众不理解的东西,所以我们解释它。但在这种情况下,解释是为了纠正错误的表达)”可知,本句主要在解释这种行为,结合后文可知,观众不理解的东西,所以我们解释它,说明解释是一种理解行为。故E选项“解释通常是一种理解行为”符合语境,故选E。
3.根据后文“Wherever you see a list of words or concepts (概念), ask yourself: Do I need all these words or concepts to attract my audience’s attention or are some of them not needed? When you remove less important ideas, your audience will gain more.(无论你在哪里看到一个单词或概念的列表,问问自己:我是否需要所有这些单词或概念来吸引我的听众的注意力,或者其中一些是不需要的?当你删除不太重要的想法时,你的听众会获得更多)”可知,本段的主旨是删除不太重要的想法,故A选项“去掉不必要的想法”符合语境,故选A。
4.根据上文“Limit paragraphs to three sentences. If you’re writing your idea in a document or email, try to make paragraphs to three sentences or less. This makes it easier for readers to understand your points because they have less content to process. And because you’re writing in short, direct points compared with long pieces of text, you may find yourself writing less overall.(把段落限制在三句话以内。如果你要在文件或电子邮件中写下你的想法,试着把段落缩短到三句话或更少。这会让读者更容易理解你的观点,因为他们需要处理的内容更少。因为你写的是简短、直接的要点,而不是长篇幅的文章,你可能会发现自己写得不够全面)”可知,本段的建议是“把段落限制在三句话以内”,这是一种写作规则,本句为本段最后一句,说明这种写作规则的好处。故F选项“每个人都能从这个写作规则中受益”符合语境,故选F。
5.根据上文“Hear your own words. No matter how much you review your own, writing, hearing it aloud will always identify places to cut.(听听你自己说的话。不管你对自己的文章复习了多少遍,写出来,听到它大声地说出来总能找出要删减的地方)”可知,上文提到了大声地阅读自己的文章,来找出需要删减的地方,G选项中read it aloud对应上文hearing it aloud。故G选项“你可以自己大声朗读来找出单词”符合语境,故选G。

As you realize your goals, you will find relief from many problems that seem to trouble you. 1 With the following of plans and actions come achievements, success, and accomplishments.
Self-realization is an understanding of your direction in life. If you understand your direction, you will see what you must do to achieve your goals. 2 This action of achievement makes you feel satisfied and complete. Even if only for a few hours, it still feels good.
3 If a person doesn’t have goals, he often feels a lack of purposes, wondering what the purpose of life is. The real meaning of life is growth. When something is growing, it is alive.

If you have a purpose, you will feel competent and confident. This takes you to your goals since you focus on your objective in life.
5 For instance, a short-term goal is to walk around the block without stopping, then to run around the block without stopping, and then to increase the distance every time a goal is reached until the final goal of running a marathon is accomplished. If you start by trying to run the marathon, you will fail, but by starting with smaller goals, you will succeed.

Passage 7
(24-25学年高一上·宁夏西夏区·期末)
Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. Classes are important, but so is disciplined practice. 1 Here are some guidelines to help you improve your reading and comprehension skills and become a better English student.
· 2
Learning any new language is a time-consuming process. Rather than try a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
·Read, watch, and listen
Reading English newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you develop your writing and speaking skills. By doing so repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously improve your pronunciation, accents, and grammar. Keep pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you read or hear. 3 Use them the next time you are role-playing dialogue in class.
·Play vocabulary and grammar games
You can also improve your English skills by playing vocabulary games that are related to what you’re studying in class. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did. 4
·Write it down
5 Take 30 minutes at the end of class or study to write down what happened during your day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day, challenge yourself and have some fun with creative writing exercises. Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph, or write a short story or poem about someone you know well. You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A.Set a goal.
B.Study every day.
C.It can even be fun.
D.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
E.Then, do some research to learn what those new words mean.
F.Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.
G.Repetition is key to learning English, and writing exercises are a great way to practice.

4.根据本段小标题“Play vocabulary and grammar games (玩词汇和语法游戏)”可知,本段主要介绍了通过玩词汇和语法游戏来学习英语;上文“For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did. (例如,如果你打算以假期为主题学习英语,花点时间想想你上次的旅行和你做了什么)”建议读者花点时间回忆自己上次的旅行,设空处为本段最后一句,应承接上文,说明应该怎么做,即通过玩词汇和语法游戏来辅助自己的英语学习。F项“Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.
