Passage 6 （24-25学年高二上·山西省阳泉市·期末） Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion — like stress, anger, or frustration. 1 Was your mind cluttered (凌乱) with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think? The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. 2 Take the entire minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. 3 When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you do that, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simple — almost too simple. 4 By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. 5 When you lose yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task. Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens.

The truth of the matter is that the odds of this happening are improbable. Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better. 3 Hard Work Promotes Discipline It is not always going to be easy, and even the most determined people may give up and admit that they are defeated and stop trying. 4 Discipline ensures that you still get up and you are determined to see the result confidently. You Harvest What You Sow 5 The same goes for hard work. As you make a big effort each day and focus on your goals, you are consistently approaching your future success.

We send messages to the people around us also by expressions and body movements. We call it “body language”, which is a kind of communication, nonverbal communication. A smile and handshake show welcome, waving one’s hand is to say “goodbye”, nodding the head means agreement. 1 As culture influences communication, the way people in different countries communicate is different too. For example, Arab men often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan men greet by bowing. 2 Crossing one’s legs at the knee in the United States is a sign of being relaxed. But in Korea, it’s not allowed. 3 For Chinese, it is to say “someone will be killed”. For Americans, it shows “I’m full”. 4 In Turkey, putting one’s hand in one’s pockets is a sign of disrespect. In some Asian countries, you mustn’t touch the head of another person. For an Arab, it’s good manners to stand close to his friend when they are talking, but for English people, they don’t like to be close to one another. And in parts of Asia, you mustn’t sit with your foot pointing at another person. All above show that it is important to know the meaning of gestures and movements in foreign country. Foreigners should follow these customs and learn their culture. 5 I think that it is important in our lives to show and learn body language. A．Smile can help get through difficult situations.

And the once common Tangtze River dolphins have either disappeared or are very rarely seen. 1 But the advancement of technology could mean that the extinction of other species is not a given (必然). A huge challenge scientists and conservationists encounter is tracking species facing extinction in order to help them. 2 . One example is the Maui dolphin, one of the rarest and most threatened dolphins in the ocean. Familiar with their summer behavior, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mammals living off the coast of New Zealand. 3 . After four years of developing, testing and fundraising, these scientists received permission to use a drone with AI that tracked the dolphins no matter the season. The result was the extension of a marine safety place to protect their habitat. 4 , AI is being used to enhance traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park on Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, an illegal entry point. AI immediately detects this activity and alerts park rangers, who deal with the illegal hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly analyzed over 150, 000 satellite images, revealing that the world’s largest tropical wetlands lost 74 percent of its surface water. 5 The use of AI has helped to accelerate action and increase conservationists’ ability to protect the natural world for generations to come. A．Give animals on the edge of extinction a fighting chance to survive B．In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6, 000 elephants C．Not until that revelation (揭露) were authorities aware of how desperate the situation was D．Saving them was challenging because their whereabouts (行踪) were relatively unknown E．These are just a few of the species that have been listed as extinct or locally extinct in recent years F．However, because of weather conditions, researchers knew next to nothing about their winter behavior G．This is where AI has brought about a revolution in the way data on these species is collected and analyzed 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 七选五 主题01 人与社会——现象影响 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上· 山西省吕梁市·期末） Negative Effects of Social Media Social media is, arguably, one of the most exciting developments in recent history. It helps families and friends stay connected, offers a useful tool to look back on positive memories, and even helps those who are struggling find support among strangers. Despite so many benefits, it has negative effects that you need to be aware of. • Reduce Face-to-Face Interaction When you are on social media more often, not only do you spend less quality time with people who are physically present in your life, but they will quickly get annoyed when you’re mindlessly browsing social media websites instead of paying attention to them. 1 Even best friends may face similar situation at times. • Lead to depression According to recent studies, the more people use social media, the more negative feelings they experience, including depression. 2 It has been suggested that these negative feelings and depressive symptoms come from increased social comparisons and a lack of social interaction caused by spending more time on social media. • Distract From Life Goals 3 Social media allows an easy way out to distract us when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work, and we can end up going down a path where we simply don’t get things done because it becomes too easy to find a distraction. • 4 Social media is the easiest way to block the creative process. Surfing social media sites has a negative effect on the mind. Creativity often requires intense focus or a relatively clear, relaxed mind. Social media gets in the way of both. All in all, when used wisely, social media can be a great way to connect with others when face-to-face interactions are impossible. 5 A．Kill Creativity. B．Decrease sleep time. C．Achieving goals takes hard work and motivation. D．However, it also counts to avoid its negative effects. E．Also, it’s very clear that privacy and the Internet don’t mix well. F．This makes communication more complicated and causes misunderstanding. G．This could be particularly harmful to people suffering anxiety and depression. 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体的危害。 1．上文“When you are on social media more often, not only do you spend less quality time with people who are physically present in your life, but they will quickly get annoyed when you’re mindlessly browsing social media websites instead of paying attention to them.(当你更频繁地使用社交媒体时，你不仅会花更少的时间与生活中的人相处，而且当你无意识地浏览社交媒体网站而不是关注它们时，他们会很快感到恼火)”说明当人们过度使用社交媒体时，会减少面对面的交流，并且会让身边的人感到恼火。空处承接上文，进一步说明频繁地使用社交媒体时产生的后果。F项中的This指代前文中的“当你更频繁地使用社交媒体时，你不仅会花更少的时间与生活中的人相处”这件事，说明F项“这使得沟通更加复杂，并导致误解。”符合语境。故选F。 2．标题“Lead to depression(导致抑郁)”以及上文“According to recent studies, the more people use social media, the more negative feelings they experience, including depression. (根据最近的研究，使用社交媒体的人越多，他们经历的负面情绪就越多，包括抑郁)”说明近期研究表明，社交媒体的使用与更多负面情绪体验，包括抑郁之间存在关联。空处承接上文，进一步说明负面情绪多所造成的后果，G项中的This指代上文中的“the more negative feelings they experience, including depression”，“anxiety and depression”和标题相呼应，说明“这可能对患有焦虑和抑郁的人特别有害。”符合语境。故选G。 3．下文“Social media allows an easy way out to distract us when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work, and we can end up going down a path where we simply don’t get things done because it becomes too easy to find a distraction.(当我们不想投入艰苦的工作时，社交媒体提供了一种简单的方法来分散我们的注意力，我们最终可能会走上一条根本无法完成任务的道路，因为很容易找到分散注意力的方法)”说明社交媒体会分散我们对生活目标的注意力。空处承接标题，引出下文。C项中的“Achieving goals”和标题中的“Life Goals”相呼应，“akes hard work and motivation”和下文“when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work”相呼应，实现目标需要努力和动力，而社交媒体提供了一种简单的方法来分散我们的注意力。C项“实现目标需要努力和动力。”符合语境。故选C。 4．下文“Social media is the easiest way to block the creative process. Surfing social media sites has a negative effect on the mind. Creativity often requires intense focus or a relatively clear, relaxed mind.(社交媒体是阻止创作过程的最简单方法。浏览社交媒体网站会对大脑产生负面影响。创造力通常需要集中注意力或相对清晰、放松的心态)”说明本段主要是关于社交媒体能够阻止创造力的产生。A项“扼杀创造力”适合作本段的标题。故选A。 5．上文“All in all, when used wisely, social media can be a great way to connect with others when face-to-face interactions are impossible.(总而言之，如果使用得当，当无法进行面对面的互动时，社交媒体可以成为与他人联系的好方法)”说明当无法进行面对面交流时，合理使用社交媒体可以成为连接他人的有效工具。空处和前文形成转折关系，提醒我们在享受社交媒体带来的好处的同时，也要注意规避它的负面影响。D项“然而，这也有助于避免其负面影响。”符合语境。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二上· 陕西省汉中市·期末） Laughing is good for us. 1 Lower blood pressure Laughing involves taking quick deep breaths and then exhalations at intervals, which stimulates blood flow.

Or was it paralyzed, unable to think? The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. 2 Take the entire minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. 3 When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you do that, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simple — almost too simple. 4 By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. 5 When you lose yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task. Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Remember to take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it — really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do! A．Yet it is very effective. B．This will remind you of the steps to the process. C．Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. D．What was going through your mind as you were undergoing that negativity? E．While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. F．Are you willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as you go through the rest of the day? G．You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. 【答案】1．D 2．E 3．C 4．A 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了一种在遇见消极情绪的时候，人们所采用的一种面对的方法。 1．根据前文“Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion — like stress, anger, or frustration.(想想你最近一次感受到的负面情绪，比如压力、愤怒或沮丧)”以及后文“Was your mind cluttered (凌乱) with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?(你的脑子里是不是满是杂念?还是它瘫痪了，无法思考？)”可知，此处讲述了感受到负面情绪时，心理的想法，所以D项“What was going through your mind as you were undergoing that negativity?(当你经历那种消极情绪时，你的脑子里在想什么？)”能够承上启下，符合文意。故选D项。 2．根据前文“Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute.(不管你在做什么，停下来坐一分钟)”以及后文“Take the entire minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion.(花整整一分钟的时间去感受那种情绪，什么也不做)”可知，此处在讲述感受到负面情绪时，坐下好好感受下，所以E项“While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.(当你坐在那里的时候，让自己完全沉浸在消极情绪中)”能够承上启下，符合文意。故选E项。 3．根据前文“If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK.(如果你觉得你需要把这种情绪憋得更久一点，那也没关系)”以及后文“When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day.(当你觉得自己已经受够了这种情绪时，问问自己是否愿意在今天剩下的时间里一直带着这种消极情绪)”可知，此处讲述，如果感受负面情绪时间不够，可以延长，没有关系，所以C项“Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.(再给自己一分钟的时间去感受那种情绪)”符合文意。故选C项。 4．设空位于段首句之后，应是对前一句的进一步说明，根据前文“This exercise seems simple — almost too simple.(这个练习看起来很简单——几乎是太简单了)”可知，A项“Yet it is very effective.(但它非常有效)”能够承接上文，符合文意，虽然简单但是有效，是对前文的进一步说明。故选A项。 5．根据前文“By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it.(通过给自己空间去真正感受消极情绪，你是在处理这种情绪，而不是把它压在心里，试图不去感受它)”以及后文“When you lose yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task. Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens.(当你在情绪中迷失自我，并意识到它只是情绪时，它就失去了控制。你可以清理你的头脑，继续你的任务。试一试。下次当你处于消极情绪中时，给自己一些空间去感受这种情绪，看看会发生什么)”可知，此处指给负面情绪一定的空间和关注，所以G项“You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs.(你实际上是在通过给予它所需的空间和关注来消除这种情绪的力量)”能够承上启下，符合文意。故选G项。 Passage 7 （24-25学年高二上·青海省西宁市·期末） Here are some habits to help you enjoy a longer and better life. Eat better. You don’t have to adopt some crazy diet or give up all sweets. Instead, try to eat a few more vegetables and fruits. 1 . A whole food is an ingredient in its natural state, one that comes in its own wrapper. While it’s even better to eat cuisine that is organic, locally grown or pesticide-free, start by shopping for groceries that require no packaging. Check with your doctor. When you feel good, it’s easy to avoid going to the doctor. No matter how you feel, though, it’s a good idea to visit your doctor for an annual check up. 2 . In addition, depending on your age and family history, the doctor may recommend other necessary tests or screenings. For example, your doctor may also do blood tests to check your cholesterol or screen for hormonal imbalances. 3 Keep moving. Exercise lowers blood pressure, controls our weight, strengthens our bones and muscles, reduces our risk for cancers, and improves mood. Some research also says it has the power to keep us young. Physical activities including exercises can improve our flexibility, strength and balance. 4 Just work more movement into your day. 5 . Simply said, we are better together.

Everything Comes at a Price Success, for the vast majority of people, does not come without hard work. 2 You have to push past the obstacles and hold the goal in your mind, realizing that each step forward is one closer to achieving it. Hard Work Helps You Make Your Luck If you are an average Joe and simply idle your way through life, you are likely just a spectator (观察者) waiting for something to happen or fall into your lap. The truth of the matter is that the odds of this happening are improbable. Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better. 3 Hard Work Promotes Discipline It is not always going to be easy, and even the most determined people may give up and admit that they are defeated and stop trying. 4 Discipline ensures that you still get up and you are determined to see the result confidently. You Harvest What You Sow 5 The same goes for hard work. As you make a big effort each day and focus on your goals, you are consistently approaching your future success. As you begin to see the progress you have made, you will begin to feel a sense of achievement and pride in your work. A．Life is certainly full of challenges.

If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they’ve made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags “#” like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences. 3 There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant. 4 These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群) , like celebrities — to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem. If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better, they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they’ve been eating. It’s a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible, while subconsciously saying “ 5 ”. Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience. A．I am willing to take risks in my diet. B．There are some reasons to post photos online. C．I’m the sort of person who takes care of myself. D．It’s the same idea as wanting to feel part of a community. E．The types of content we choose to post hold significance.

(不合时宜的玩笑可能看起来像是你和他们分手时的一种权力举动。)符合语境。故选F。 Passage 4 （24-25学年高二上·山西省运城市·期末） How to Sleep Better What you do (or don’t do) before bedtime has significant impact on the quality of your sleep. 1 Here are a few suggestions: Go from light to dark. Darkness stimulates production of the sleep hormone. 2 And think about investing into warm light that you can use in the bed-room before bedtime. 3 Keep the bedroom a technology-free zone as the light from electronic devices can disturb your sleep. If you need to work, wear blue light blocking glasses(also known as computer glasses)throughout or before you sleep to prevent sleep disruption. Find an activity that helps you to wind down. This could be anything that calms you down, and reduces thinking. For example, listening to soothing (柔和的) music, taking a hot bath, reading or meditating. Keep any electronics you have on the other side of the room or outside the room. One of the most harmful things that can disrupt your sleep is the notifications you get from your smartphones. 4 Create a bedtime routine. A night routine is a couple of things you do prior to going to bed. By doing these things every night, you’ll have a more restful and high-quality sleep. Adjust your sleep temperature. The ideal temperature for sleep is 60~67 Farenheit (华氏度). This may be cooler than what most people are used to. 5 Rule of thumb: sleeping in cooler temperature is better for sleep quality than warmer temperature. A．Avoid screens. B．Sleep better from now on. C．Turn off unused light around the house. D．The higher the temperature is, the better you sleep. E．The simplest way to avoid this is to keep it away from you. F．Many times, it can be the difference between staying up until 4 am and sleeping like a baby. G．But keep in mind that our body temperature changes once we fall asleep 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．A 4．E 5．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了提高睡眠质量的一些方法。 1．上文“What you do (or don’t do) before bedtime has significant impact on the quality of your sleep.(睡前做什么（或不做什么）对你的睡眠质量有很大的影响。)”指出睡前做什么或不做什么对你的睡眠质量有很大的影响，下文“Here are a few suggestions:(以下是一些建议：)”指出一些建议，由此可知，空处承接上文，F项“很多时候，这就是熬夜到凌晨4点和像婴儿一样睡觉的区别。”具体指出睡觉前做什么和不做什么的区别所产生的影响，故选F。 2．上文“Darkness stimulates production of the sleep hormone.(黑暗刺激睡眠荷尔蒙的产生。)”指出黑暗刺激荷尔蒙的产生，有利于睡眠，空处承接上文，所以我们要关掉灯，C项“关掉房子周围未使用的灯。”符合，故选C。 3．此处是本段中心句，由下文“Keep the bedroom a technology-free zone as the light from electronic devices can disturb your sleep. If you need to work, wear blue light blocking glasses(also known as computer glasses)throughout or before you sleep to prevent sleep disruption.(让卧室成为一个没有科技产品的区域，因为电子设备发出的光会干扰你的睡眠。如果你需要工作，在整个睡眠过程中或睡眠前戴上蓝光阻隔眼镜（也称为电脑眼镜）以防止睡眠中断。)”可知，本段主要介绍要在睡觉前避免使用电子屏幕，A项“避开屏幕。”能概括本段内容，故选A。 4．上文“One of the most harmful things that can disrupt your sleep is the notifications you get from your smartphones.(可以扰乱你睡眠的最有害的事情之一是你的智能手机的一些通知。)”指出智能手机能扰乱睡眠，由此可知，空处承接上文，指出我们要避免使用智能手机，即让电子设备远离自己，E项“避免这种情况最简单的方法就是让它远离你。”符合，呼应本段第一句话“Keep any electronics you have on the other side of the room or outside the room. (把你所有的电子设备放在房间的另一边或者房间外面。)”，故选E。 5．上文“The ideal temperature for sleep is 60~67 Farenheit(华氏度). This may be cooler than what most people are used to.(理想的睡眠温度是60 ~ 67华氏度。这可能比大多数人习惯的温度更凉爽。)”指出大多数人都习惯于在更高温的环境中睡觉，下文“Rule of thumb: sleeping in cooler temperature is better for sleep quality than warmer temperature.(经验之谈: 在较低的温度下睡觉比在较高的温度下睡觉更有利于睡眠质量。)”和上文是转折关系，即实际上较低的温度更有利于睡眠质量，G项“但是记住，一旦我们入睡，我们的体温就会发生变化”符合，和上文是转折关系，同时引起下文，故选G。 Passage 5 （24-25学年高二上· 陕西省汉中市·期末） When gardeners grow varieties of plants in their beautiful gardens, they are happy to see beneficial insects like bees and butterflies surrounding the flowers. But as they take a closer look, they may find some plants are covered in black dots and filled with harmful insects or pests. Some gardeners may immediately reach for chemicals. 1 Although it may stop the insect problem, it will also threaten bees and butterflies which help the plants reproduce. If you are wise gardeners, you should first take preventive measures to control the harmful insects. 2 Only when there are too many harmful insects, should pest control be considered. The first defense should always be the safest method available.Prevention As a rule, prevention is the best treatment. Inspect plants closely, including their leaves, before buying them from the store. 3 When planting, space plants out to permit them to grow to their full size. Plants too close together can breed harmful organisms, like bacteria. 4 They invite pests if permitted to remain on the ground. When you do see pests, wash them away. Use rubbing alcohol to remove some insects, or pick them off the plants.Pesticides If you decide a pesticide is necessary, choose it carefully and follow the directions and warnings on the product. Avoid using pesticides in extreme heat, on windy days, or when the plants are wet. 5 At the time, beneficial insects are inactive. You can consider removing flowers from the plants to lessen the risk that beneficial insects will come in contact with the pesticides. A．But this is not wise. B．In most cases, chemicals don’t help. C．Treat the plants early in the morning or at night. D．Also do remember the plants need nutrition and care. E．Keep your garden free of fallen leaves, fruits and other wastes. F．Do not bring any plants home that show signs of disease or pests. G．The process starts with the idea that having some pests is acceptable. 【答案】1．A 2．G 3．F 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当园丁在美丽的花园里种植各种各样的植物时，他们很高兴看到蜜蜂和蝴蝶等有益的昆虫围绕在花周围。但是当他们仔细观察时，他们可能会发现一些植物被黑点覆盖，并且充满了有害的昆虫或害虫。文章介绍如何预防害虫和使用农药。 1．根据上文提示“Some gardeners may immediately reach for chemicals.（一些园丁可能会立即使用化学药品。）”，再根据下文提示“Although it may stop the insect problem, it will also threaten bees and butterflies which help the plants reproduce.（虽然它可以解决昆虫问题，但它也会威胁到帮助植物繁殖的蜜蜂和蝴蝶。）”可知，设空处与上文构成转折关系。所以A项But this is not wise.（但这是不明智的。）切题。故选A。 2．根据下文提示“Only when there are too many harmful insects, should pest control be considered.（只有当有害昆虫太多的时候，才应该考虑害虫防治。）”可知，要接受有害虫。所以G项The process starts with the idea that having some pests is acceptable.（这个过程始于有一些害虫是可以接受的想法。）切题。故选G。 3．根据上文提示“As a rule, prevention is the best treatment. Inspect plants closely, including their leaves, before buying them from the store.（一般来说，预防是最好的治疗。在从商店购买之前，仔细检查植物，包括它们的叶子。）”可知，有病虫害的植物不能带回家。所以F项Do not bring any plants home that show signs of disease or pests.（不要带任何有病虫害迹象的植物回家。）切题，其中选项中的also顺承了上文。故选F。 4．根据下文提示“They invite pests if permitted to remain on the ground. When you do see pests, wash them away. Use rubbing alcohol to remove some insects, or pick them off the plants.（如果允许害虫留在地面上，它们会招来害虫。当你看到害虫时，把它们洗掉。用外用酒精去除一些昆虫，或者把它们从植物上摘下来。）”可知，要保持花园远离落叶和其他废物。所以E项Keep your garden free of fallen leaves, fruits and other wastes.（让你的花园远离落叶、水果和其他废物。）切题。故选E。 5．根据上文提示“Avoid using pesticides in extreme heat, on windy days, or when the plants are wet.（避免在极端高温、大风天或植物潮湿时使用农药。）”可知，设空处应该是在说使用农药的时间。所以C项Treat the plants early in the morning or at night.（在清晨或晚上治疗植物。）切题。故选C。 Passage 6 （24-25学年高二上·山西省咸阳市·期末） Some Ways to Improve Your Study As a high school student, it is important for you to do well in study.

G．In this way, you can learn from each other and know more. 【答案】1．C 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些帮助提高学习的方法。 1．上文“But do you know how to improve your study?(但是你知道如何提高你的学习吗?)”可知不知道如何提高学习；下文“Pay attention in class.(上课要注意听讲。)”开始提具体的学习方法。由此可推知，设空处为过渡句，引出下文。C项“Here are some ways to help you.(这里有一些方法可以帮助你。)”与上下文对应。故选C项。 2．上文“First, don’t make any noise in class.(首先，不要在课堂上制造任何噪音。)”提到了上课注意听讲的第一点；下文“Last but not least, get yourself involved in classroom activities.(最后但同样重要的，让自己参与课堂活动。)”提到了第三点。由此可推知，设空处为第二点。F项“Second, pay attention to what the teacher says.(第二，注意老师说的话。)”与上下文对应。故选F项。 3．设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“If you are not sure how to take notes, start by writing down the important points that your teacher mentions or writes on the blackboard.(如果你不知道如何记笔记，首先把老师提到或写在黑板上的要点写下来。)”提到了记笔记的方法。由此可推知，本段主旨为记笔记。A项“Take good notes.(做好笔记。)”与下文对应。故选A项。 4．上文主旨句“Go over your lessons.(复习功课。)”提到了要复习功课；下文“By going over your lessons, you can understand and remember better.(通过复习功课，你可以更好地理解和记忆。)”提到了复习功课的意义。由此可推知，设空处与复习功课息息相关。D项“It is necessary for you to go over your lessons.(复习功课是很有必要的。)”与上下文对应。故选D项。 5．段首主旨句“Learn from your classmates.(向你的同学学习。)”提到了要向同学学习；上文“You can learn in pairs or in groups to solve problems.(你可以结对学习，也可以小组学习来解决问题。)”提到了结对学习和小组学习来解决问题。由此可推之，设空处可能与小组学习的好处相关。G项“In this way, you can learn from each other and know more.(通过这种方式，你们可以互相学习，了解更多。)”与上文对应。故选G项。 Passage 7 （24-25学年高二上·山西省太原市·期末） Although we may not realize it when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not only by words. We send messages to the people around us also by expressions and body movements. We call it “body language”, which is a kind of communication, nonverbal communication. A smile and handshake show welcome, waving one’s hand is to say “goodbye”, nodding the head means agreement. 1 As culture influences communication, the way people in different countries communicate is different too. For example, Arab men often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan men greet by bowing. 2 Crossing one’s legs at the knee in the United States is a sign of being relaxed. But in Korea, it’s not allowed. 3 For Chinese, it is to say “someone will be killed”. For Americans, it shows “I’m full”. 4 In Turkey, putting one’s hand in one’s pockets is a sign of disrespect. In some Asian countries, you mustn’t touch the head of another person. For an Arab, it’s good manners to stand close to his friend when they are talking, but for English people, they don’t like to be close to one another. And in parts of Asia, you mustn’t sit with your foot pointing at another person. All above show that it is important to know the meaning of gestures and movements in foreign country. Foreigners should follow these customs and learn their culture. 5 I think that it is important in our lives to show and learn body language. A．Smile can help get through difficult situations. B．In the USA, people shake hands to show “their greeting”. C．These gestures seem to have the same meanings everywhere. D．Making too many gestures in communication is not polite. E．The gesture of putting a hand on a person’s neck is different for Chinese and Americans. F．So we can communicate with them in a correct way, both by words and by body language. G．Because of the influence of special culture, some body languages should attract our attention. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．E 4．G 5．F 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了了解和学习肢体语言的重要性。虽然在一些肢体语言表达上，有些手势含义相同，但是，由于文化影响着交流，不同国家的人们交流的方式也不同。作为外国人应该遵守这些习俗，学习他们的文化，才能正确与人沟通。 1．设空在段末，应是对于前文内容的总结。根据前文内容“A smile and handshake show welcome, waving one’s hand is to say ‘goodbye’, nodding the head means agreement.(微笑和握手表示欢迎，挥手表示“再见”，点头表示同意)”举例可知，前文内容提到的是在任何地方都有着相同含义的肢体语言。选项C“These gestures seem to have the same meanings everywhere.(这些手势在任何地方的意思似乎都是一样的)”在句意上是对前文内容的总结，且句中“These gestures”指代前文内容，符合语境分析。故选C项。 2．分析可知，设空句应是举例内容之一，举例论证该段主旨句“As culture influences communication, the way people in different countries communicate is different too.(由于文化影响着交流，不同国家的人们交流的方式也不同)”且与前文“For example, Arab men often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan men greet by bowing.(例如，阿拉伯男人打招呼时经常亲吻双颊。在日本，男人鞠躬问候致意)”提及的“打招呼/问候”有关。选项B“In the USA, people shake hands to show ‘their greeting’.(在美国，人们握手表示“问候”)”提到了美国人打招呼的方式，符合语境搭配。故选B项。 3．根据后文的进一步解释“For Chinese, it is to say ‘someone will be killed’. For Americans, it shows ‘I’m full’.(对中国人来说，这意味着“有人要被杀”。 对美国人来说，这表示“我吃饱了”)”可知，设空句应是提到了一种肢体语言，结合常识和后文“中国人”的理解可知，应是“将手置于脖子处”这一动作。选项E“The gesture of putting a hand on a person’s neck is different for Chinese and Americans.(把一只手放在一个人的脖子上的姿势对中国人和美国人是不同的)”符合语境分析。故选E项。 4．设空为该段主旨句。根据后文内容“In Turkey, putting one’s hand in one’s pockets is a sign of disrespect. In some Asian countries, you mustn’t touch the head of another person.(在土耳其，把手放在口袋里是一种不尊重的行为。在一些亚洲国家，你不能碰别人的头)”可知，该段应是讲述了一些在不同的国家不能做的肢体语言，以引起关注。选项G“Because of the influence of special culture, some body languages should attract our attention.(由于特殊文化的影响，一些体态语应该引起我们的注意)”概括了该段主旨要义。故选G项。 5．根据前文“Foreigners should follow these customs and learn their culture.(外国人应该遵守这些习俗，学习他们的文化)”提及作为外国人，应该入乡随俗，由此可推知，设空句应进一步解释“入乡随俗”的积极后果，选项F“So we can communicate with them in a correct way, both by words and by body language.(所以我们可以用正确的方式与他们交流，无论是语言还是肢体语言)”提到入乡随俗就可以用正确的方式从语言或肢体上进行沟通交流，可看作为积极效果，且“So”与前文构成因果关系。故选F项。 主题02 人与自然—— 科技与自然 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上· 山西省运城市·期末） It has been more than 40 years since anyone spotted a Japanese river otter (水獭). And the once common Tangtze River dolphins have either disappeared or are very rarely seen. 1 But the advancement of technology could mean that the extinction of other species is not a given (必然). A huge challenge scientists and conservationists encounter is tracking species facing extinction in order to help them. 2 . One example is the Maui dolphin, one of the rarest and most threatened dolphins in the ocean. Familiar with their summer behavior, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mammals living off the coast of New Zealand. 3 . After four years of developing, testing and fundraising, these scientists received permission to use a drone with AI that tracked the dolphins no matter the season. The result was the extension of a marine safety place to protect their habitat. 4 , AI is being used to enhance traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park on Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, an illegal entry point. AI immediately detects this activity and alerts park rangers, who deal with the illegal hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly analyzed over 150, 000 satellite images, revealing that the world’s largest tropical wetlands lost 74 percent of its surface water. 5 The use of AI has helped to accelerate action and increase conservationists’ ability to protect the natural world for generations to come. A．Give animals on the edge of extinction a fighting chance to survive B．In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6, 000 elephants C．Not until that revelation (揭露) were authorities aware of how desperate the situation was D．Saving them was challenging because their whereabouts (行踪) were relatively unknown E．These are just a few of the species that have been listed as extinct or locally extinct in recent years F．However, because of weather conditions, researchers knew next to nothing about their winter behavior G．This is where AI has brought about a revolution in the way data on these species is collected and analyzed 【答案】1．E 2．G 3．F 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在保护濒临灭绝的物种和防止非法狩猎方面的应用。 1．上文“It has been more than 40 years since anyone spotted a Japanese river otter (水獭).
