These tips will help make the transition (过渡) a smooth one. Keep a positive focus As the first day draws near, begin talking to your child about her expectations, hopes, and worries about the upcoming school year. 2 . There is no need to be anxious and she can keep a positive mindset. Present school as a place where she’ll learn new things and make friends. 3 While you don’t want your child to take on too much, it’s important to encourage participation (参与) in one or two activities that interest them. Perhaps surprisingly, this strategy often leads to better grades. Research published in 2022 suggests participation in extracurriculars leads to positive health, behavioral, and academic (学业) outcomes for kids aged 12 to 15. Get enough sleep If your child has enjoyed a vacation of late nights and lazy mornings, getting up for school on the first day may be difficult. Help make this transition easier by starting the school-year sleep habit a week or two in advance. 4 . Get enough supplies Spend the week before the first day of school making sure you and your child know what school supplies are required. 5 . But if not, take it upon yourself to ask and then buy the necessities as early as possible. Note that high school students may require specialized tools for more advanced learning. A．Accompany younger kids B．Encourage extra-curricular participation C．Many schools provide a handy list for the lower grades D．Tell her that other children are having the same feelings E．Sleep plays a key role in strengthening learning and memory F．The first few weeks may be filled with anxiety as well as excitement G．Reading books together about school is a good way to remove fear about school Passage 2 It is never too late to develop good study habits. However, starting making some changes is hard. Even if you want to do well enough in school and improve your grades, you’re probably having trouble getting started in the first place. 6 . Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Make a schedule of your time. Then decide on good, regular time for studying. 7 , but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable and quiet. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. Skim before you read. 8 . As you preview the material, you get some idea of the passage and how it is organised. 9 . Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Taking notes helps you remember what the teacher says. Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. 10 . Tests provide grades, but they also let you know that you need to spend more time studying. There are other skills that might help you with your study. Share with your classmates some of the skills you have found to be helpful. A．Study regularly B．Make good use of your time in class C．There are several ways that can help you D．The world won’t end if you fail, so take it easy E．Your favorite subject opens a new world of knowledge F．This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems G．This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully Passage 3 Participating (参加) in high school extra-curricular activities is important for personal growth. They can teach you a lot, introduce you to good friends, and give you ideas about what to do in future. 11 The most important thing to consider before taking part in an extra-curricular activity is: 12 If you’re going to spend hours every week doing something, you need to enjoy it. Once you’ve made a list of interests, it’s time to search for opportunities. Usually, your teachers and parents know more about what is going on in your community than you do. 13 And never underestimate (低估) the power of a simple online search! Now you know how to find extra-curricular activities. There is one more problem most high school students have: how to find the time. You need to go to school, do your homework, and maybe even work a part-time job. 14 However, time is not something too difficult to get. You have to make the time to do extra-curricular activities if you really want to get involved (参与). You can sit down and make your schedule hour by hour and take an honest look at what you do with your free time 15 Whether you give up one Saturday every month to volunteer or one hour every week to attend club meetings, you are making the time to make a difference and prepare for your future. A．What do you like to do? B．They won’t mind helping you out a little bit. C．You may not like some extra-curricular activities. D．You’ll find a world of opportunities waiting for you. E．You might be surprised by how much free time you “find”. F．You feel there’s not enough time to participate in extra-curricular activities. G．So if you’re a high school student wondering where to get started, look no further. Passage 4 Going from middle school to the freshman year of high school is a big change. 16 .   Be open to new friendships. High school is all about experiencing new things, including new friendships. Getting to know people you haven’t met before is a great way to broaden your horizons. 17 Simply sitting with a new person at lunch can be enough to get the ball rolling.   Explore the campus.   For most people, going off to senior high school means heading to a completely new campus. 18 . They might be able to show you around the campus, which will make you a bit more confident as you go on with your freshman year. Get organised. Senior high school and junior high school are very different. 19 . You can buy a planner and spend a few minutes each night going over the notes you took in class that day. Staying on top of your studies will make the transition(过渡) from middle school to high school much easier. 20 . While there’s no need to plan every day for the next three years, it can’t hurt to make a note of classes you want to take or activities you’d like to try. Believe it or not, the three years will go by really fast. Having a plan in place will help you make the most of your high school experience. A．Create a three-year plan. B．Be open to new experiences. C．If you’re nervous, start small. D．That way, you’ll have a better idea of some of the things you can expect. E．Try to get as organised as possible so you can stay on top of your studies. F．If you worry about the unknown, reach out to the school and see if someone can help. G．Here are some ways to help you deal with anxiety and prepare for the first year. 话题2 亲子关系（人与自我） Passage 1 Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. Why is family important? What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family matters:Families set the stage for future relationships. The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 . It’s often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family. 2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on. When life gets hard, people need support. 2 . Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love. 3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance. Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 . Of course, there are other things at play (起作用), but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications. 4. 4 . Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. It’s parents’ responsibility to guide their children and provide life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 . A．Families teach important life lessons. B．This can be emotional or financial support. C．When families are strong, communications are strong. D．Family relationships are connected to a person’s health. E．These lessons form a big part of a person’s worldview. F．These relationships provide a model for what future relationships will look like. G．On the other hand, kids who had family dinners 5-7 times a week did much better. Passage 2 There is nothing in the world that can compare to a mother’s love within a family. 6 It is also beneficial to your own health and happiness. Reduce stress. A strong relationship with your mother can help you lessen pressure. According to a report, about nine out of ten American adults say that their connection with their mother has had a positive influence on them. 7 Increase self- confidence. Having a close connection with your mum is one of the best ways to lift your confidence. 8 But contact with your mum, who is biologically your biggest fan and supporter, can remind you how important it is to believe in yourself. 9 Being in contact with your mother is often an opportunity to share your thoughts and feelings. And it lets her tell you about your true situation. This reality check, provided by someone who loves and supports you, can be the key to helping you figure out how to take the next best step in your life and deal with a challenging situation. Contribute to success. The report says the influence of strong parent- child communication from children’s early years is far- reaching. 10 When mother-child for communication is strong, children develop mental skills faster. Despite the daily pressure felt of adult life, the strong mother-child communication is the key to leading children to be successful. A．Tell the truth. B．Develop physically faster. C．Indeed, it is not a challenging thing to lift your confidence. D．Talks with their mothers lead to better language skills. E．They are less likely to suffer from disappointment and anxiety. F．Lacking self- confidence can make everything tougher to deal with. G．Keeping regular contact with your mother benefits her well- being. Passage 3 A family is a place filled with love, care, and shared days. 11 They pick up their first words, understand what kindness means; and find comfort when things go wrong. Even as they grow older, family stays a steady support, cheering on their joys and standing by them through hard times. 12 When family members listen to a child’s worries or praise their small wins, it builds the child’s confidence little by little. Parents might read bedtime stories to teach new words, help with homework when it’s difficult, or talk about their day to encourage curiosity. This kind of support doesn’t just make kids better at school but helps them feel ready for future life. Families pass on traditions and teach good habits. Think about the special things many families do: making a favorite dish every holiday, telling stories about grandparents, or even having a silly rule for game nights. 13 Kids need to learn sharing toys with siblings or saying “sorry” when they’re wrong. All the practices help children feel connected to their roots. Families bond through small shared moments. Making family bonds stronger doesn’t need big plans. Something as simple as sitting down to eat dinner together works: putting away phones to talk about the day lets everyone feel heard. 14 For example, creating small, regular moments, like a weekly walk or watching a favorite show together, also helps. Family serves as the quiet base of a happy life. 15 All these are what keep families strong and warm for years. A．Big trips could bring families closer. B．Families support the growth of children. C．For children, it’s when they first learn. D．Parents prefer complex activities to simple ones. E．Another way is to set fixed time for a family activity. F．Families also teach kids how to get on well with others. G．It achieves this by helping growth, keeping traditions, and sharing moments. Passage 4 While holidays may have been filled with trips or relaxing at home during childhood, by traveling with your parents as an adult, you can explore new places and share special moments together that you can look back on with a smile. 16 Rebuild the relationship. While there are old ways of getting along in the parent-child relationship, a trip abroad can help you become friendly again. You are no longer the kid who always breaks a cup, and your parents are no longer just the ones who shouted about it. 17 Experiences such as finding new places in a strange environment and dealing with challenges like losing hotel keys create moments of understanding and connection. 18 A journey can provide an exciting chance to discover new things about your family. For example, you might discover that one of your parents has a gift for organizing the trip. These realizations can make your relationship with them more interesting, full of laughter and the willingness to learn more about them. What’s more, when you see how your family deals with travel plans—like booking tickets or finding restaurants—you’ll notice skills they have that you don’t usually see in daily life. Create new memories. 19 Travel, however, gives you the chance to share new and wonderful moments together. Even if you didn’t have the best childhood memories growing up, traveling lets you connect with each other, creating all-new memories. It would be even better if there’s less arguing along the way. Realize the gift of time. Traveling with aging parents isn’t always easy because of schedules, different energy levels, and interests. However, moments like laughter, quiet conversations, and viewing the same sight are deeply meaningful. 20 A．Get to know them better. B．Find your family’s travel habits. C．But new experiences often bring awkward moments. D．Everyone has different impressions of their childhood. E．They remind us to value the time we have with them. F．Instead, you become travel partners who support each other. G．Read ahead to discover the advantages of traveling with your parents. 话题3 友谊（人与社会） Passage 1 From early childhood, you are looking for your good friends. Good friends can make you feel like you belong and give you support when you need it. Here are some tips to help you make friends. 1 Friendship begins with self-confidence. Do things that make you feel good about yourself, like exercising, doing a hobby, or dressing in a way that shows who you are. 2 . Join groups Joining a group or club is a great way to meet new people. Look for activities you enjoy, like reading or sports. 3 . Don’t be afraid to say hello and start a chat. You can share interests to talk and connect with others easily. Be supportive 4 . Offering your time, help, or a listening ear when needed shows that you value and care about the other person. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can go a long way in making your friendship stronger. Deal with “No” Not every try to make a friend will work, and that’s OK. When someone says no, try to stay positive. 5 . Every time you try, even if it doesn’t work, you’re getting better at talking to people and getting closer to making the right friends. A．Be confident B．Spend time together C．Support is important in strong friendships D．Think of it as a chance to learn and get better E．And go to these activities often so people get to know you F．The people you already know can help you meet new friends G．When you feel good about yourself, it’s easier to make friends Passage 2 How Can I Build My Friendships? Building and keeping healthy friendships takes effort and balance. Friendships grow on shared support. 6 Showing your friends that you care strengthens your bond. Being a good friend yourself is just as important as having good friends around you. Here are some key ways to build your friendships. 7 Take an interest in what’s happening in your friends’ lives. Show you’re listening through eye contact, body language, and short comments like “That sounds great.” When your friends are facing difficulties, listen with understanding and avoid offering advice unless they ask for it. Sometimes, just being there to listen is the best support you can give.Be dependable and trustworthy. 8 Be someone your friends can count on by keeping promises and showing up on time. When a friend shares something personal with you, respect their privacy and keep it private. Following through on your promises and being reliable help build stronger, lasting connections.Stay connected and available. Building deeper friendships takes time. Make an effort to see friends regularly and check in with them between meet-ups. 9 It’s natural to feel a bit awkward when getting to know someone new, but don’t let that stop you. As you connect more often, you’ll find that the initial awkwardness fades and a deeper bond begins to form. Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. Putting time and energy into friendships can improve your emotional well-being and contribute to a more positive outlook on life. Friends bring joy and support. 10 A．Be an active listener. B．Trust is important for close friendships. C．Be mindful that friendships require effort. D．Spending time with friends can make you feel better and happier. E．Sometimes you help out, and other times you’re the one receiving help. F．Even small gestures, like a text or phone call, can make a big difference. G．They help you get through tough times and make good moments even more special. Passage 3 How to handle changes in your friendship group? Friends are important. From time to time, however, the balance in friendships can change. One of the biggest reasons is that someone new joins the group. 11 . The good news is that there are ways to navigate the ups and downs of friendships while remaining part of a positive, happy, and supportive circle. Keep an open mind Changes in friendship groups can feel strange at first, especially if everything had been going well beforehand. You might be concerned things feel awkward or different, or that you might feel bad if a new person joins your circle. 12 . You can’t stop your friends having new people in their lives, so try to see encounters with fresh faces as an exciting opportunity. 13 If your best friends seem to stop being interested in you and appear to be spending all their time with a new friend, take time to think about the situation before rushing to talk to them angrily. 14 . Having different friends is a positive thing, so if it’s the case that they’re welcoming new people into the fold, try to make peace with it and think about how you can make other friends, too. This doesn’t mean giving up on your best friends. Recognize that they and you will have a mixture of pals and they’ll make your life in different ways. Know your worth Friends are amazing and can carry you through good and bad times, but you’re not defined by others, and you deserve people who want to be in your life. Everyone changes, and there might come a time when friends no longer wish to spend time with you. 15 . Keep your head held high, walk tall, and stay true to your real self. Remember that real friends value you for who and what you are. A．Widen your circle B．Ask your friends to stay loyal C．Help your friends be open-minded D．Even if you can’t change their minds, you can keep your self-respect E．Remind yourself that friendships develop throughout life — it’s natural F．You might dislike the change, wishing things had stayed as they were G．Ask yourself if they’re really ignoring you or just widening their circle Passage 4 You can picture it already: relaxing with your closest friends and exploring new exciting destinations. All the while you’re enjoying great food and making fantastic memories (回忆). 16 Use our tips to plan a trip with friends where you’ll come home not only relaxed but closer than ever. 17 Slow down and honestly discuss what everyone hopes to get out of the vacation before booking anything. Talk about where you’d like to and how long a vacation is OK for all. Will you be together all of the time? 18 Will there be one or two main planning leaders? Make sure everyone plays a part in planning the vacation. Have the money talk. No one likes the uncomfortable talk about how the money is going to work, but it is a necessary part of planning. 19 So it’s best to have honest conversations about money. Try to find some common ground when planning a budget (预算) for accommodations, visiting attractions, meals out, and activities. Stay safe. While you don’t have to be with the group every minute of your trip, agree to stay accountable (负有责任的) to each other for everyone’s safety. That means no leaving without telling the group where you’re going. 20 Look out for one another and use common sense so everyone stays safe. A．Have a full discussion. B．Choose a tour leader of your group. C．Will there be days to explore separately? D．People often have different ideas when it comes to money. E．Be sure that everyone has each other’s contact information on their phone. F．Having a travel adviser would be easier than doing all the booking yourself. G．However, travelling with your closest friends sometimes can be a terrible experience. 话题4 运动与健康（人与自我/人与社会） Passage 1 Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight. I started to skip (略过) breakfast. Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat. 1 And in fact, breakfast is easily burnt throughout the day. I bought diet food. When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc. 2 I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more. I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food. If you eat too much any food, you’re not doing yourself any favors. 3 Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down. But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food. I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with few more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards. I was too awkward to go to the gym. Joining a gym was one of the hardest things I ever did. I was always worried that people in the gym would be staring at me and talking about me. I really thought I was too fat to join. My advice is to join a gym! 4 I set my goals too high. Setting long-term goals is great, but these goals always seem too far off. You need to set smaller, more reachable goals. 5 Set yourself weekly and monthly goals. Once you meet one short-term goal, set a new one for next week. A．I thought I’d always be fat. B．I promise you’ll be glad you do. C．But it doesn’t keep you full for long. D．I started eating salads as main meals. E．But I was buying these foods for the wrong reason. F．So you can achieve them now and then and cheer yourself up. G．However, if so, you’re much more likely to eat more for lunch. Passage 2 Teens are busy. Their schedules are filled with school, work, after-school activities, homework and social time with friends. They may not have much enough free time, and what free time they have often is spent on screens. Regular (定期的) exercise is important for teens, but it can be a challenge to get them moving. 6 Here are some suggestions if your teen appears to be interested. Find the fun. Exercise doesn’t need to be boring. Work together to find exercises that your teen finds fun and interesting. Try a new sport. Play music and have a dance party in the kitchen. Explore a country road or bike to a local park. Try a new exercise video online. 7 Add exercise to your everyday activities. 8 Encourage your teen to take a walk with friends during lunch, use the stairs instead of elevator (电梯) or park the car at the back of the lot. These are ways that you can develop healthy habits, as well. Cheer them on. 9 Everyone likes to hear they are doing a good job, even teens who roll their eyes. Applaud (鼓掌) them for their results. Tell them that slow and continuing progress is a good way to keep healthy habits going. 10 Not every teen wants to join a sports team, but movement can be included in other activities. If your teen enjoys photography, explore hiking trails or parks for chances. Teens who love to read may be interested in biking to bookstores or animal-loving teens could volunteer as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. A．Don’t forget that daily bit matters. B．Connect exercise with other interests. C．Notice and praise teens when they exercise. D．Though encouraging teens can be a challenge, it’s possible. E．Exercising with others keeps us connected and teens are no exception. F．Focusing on it will make exercise something they look forward to, instead of fear. G．If your kids take part in a sport, they will probably be more successful at work. Passage 3 In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking often goes unnoticed. 11 It offers physical and mental benefits (益处) that lead to total happiness. Heart Health and Weight Management Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation (循环). 12 Besides, regular quick walking supports in weight management by burning calories and improving digestion (消化), making it an excellent choice for those looking to throw away pounds or keep a healthy weight. Stress Drop and Clear Mind Taking a relaxing walk or quick walk has been shown to give off endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” materials. This leads to lower pressure (压力) levels, improved feelings, and improved mental health. Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks. 13 Joint (关节) Health and Free Movement Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. 14 At the same time, it also raises the ability to move freely and easily. Walking regularly can be particularly good for those recovering from pain or looking to avoid problems with joints. Social Communication and Connection 15 Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide a chance to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories while at the same time bringing the physical benefits. A．It helps oil joints and make them stronger. B．In fact, it is not as simple as it seems. C．So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh. D．Taking a slow walk after meals is better than taking a quick one. E．It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure. F．Walking is useful exercise that can easily be turned into a social activity. G．However, walking remains one of the easiest and most useful forms of exercise. Passage 4 If you always find at-home exercise difficult to stay motivated (有动力的) like the exercise at the gym. Here are some tips for you. Set specific (具体的) fitness goals. Many people start with unclear fitness goals like “Lose weight. Be healthier.” 16 , but they don’t help much with planning or getting started. If you already have a regular gym habit, these goals might be easy enough to keep up. But if you need to get serious about making yourself get off the sofa and exercise at home, I don’t think they work. 17 . For example, you could set a goal to lift a certain weight with your arms by your next birthday, or lose a certain number of pounds by an upcoming event. The key is to make goals that are personal, actionable, measurable, and time-bound. Meet your own deadlines. You’ll find that it keeps you focused. For instance, if you set a goal to do a one-legged squat (深蹲) by May and actually achieve it in April, this will make you feel proud and eager to set the next goal, 18 , try a rewards system. If your goal is to lift 30 pounds with your arms by December and you’re currently at 15 pounds, think of rewards for reaching 20 and 25 pounds. Maybe treat yourself to a meal at a favorite restaurant. 19 . Cristina Chan, a F45 Global Recovery Athlete, says that tracking your workouts in a way that’s easy to see can make a huge difference when exercising alone. She suggests marking a calendar, using a habit tracker app, or even putting sticky notes on a wall to record your active days. Seeing how regularly you keep doing it over time is a powerful motivator, 20 . A．These are great ideas B．If you focus on your goals C．Pay for your gym membership D．Keep track of how you’re doing toward your goals E．If a general feeling of doing better isn’t enough for you F．That’s why you should start setting much more specific goals G．It enables you to focus on showing up instead of physical results 话题5 电影与文学作品（人与社会） Passage 1 How to Write a Movie Review Writing a good movie review is helpful, whether you do it for fun or for work. 1 If you’ve recently watched a film and want to share your opinions about it, here are some tips to help you write a wonderful movie review. Start with a short story summary. A summary helps to give readers an idea of the movie. Briefly describe the main people, where the story happens, and the main problem in the movie. Never break the most important rule: don’t tell too much. 2 Move into your analysis(分析) of the movie. Write a few paragraphs discussing interesting parts in the movie, such as the acting, the direction, the cinematography(摄影), and the setting. 3 The easier and clearer your writing is, the more interested you readers will be. Use plenty of examples to support your points. If you make a statement about the movie, give a descriptive example. Describe the way scenes look, the way a certain person acted, camera angles, and so on. 4 In this way you are giving your readers a feel of the movie and continuing to make comments on the film at the same time. 5 Your review doesn’t have to be a formal essay. It’s more impressive if you make it your own. If your writing style is usually interesting, your review should be interesting too. If you’re serious, that’s OK. Your writing should show your personality—it makes your review more enjoyable to read. A．Give it some personality. B．Keep an interesting style. C．Don’t use too many terms about film making. D．You can use dialogues from the movie as well. E．You should first watch enough movies on your own. F．Otherwise, you may ruin the movie for your readers. G．It allows you to explore your personal connection with a film. Passage 2 Film has seen great progress over the years. While actors and directors often receive most of the praise, the heroes behind the screen are the musicians who make a film unforgettable. 6 This is the kind of music we call a film score (配乐). It has developed through several stages. In the silent film era, music was used to fill the silence. 7 They had to respond in real time to the changing scenes, adjusting their music to match the mood. This was the early form of film scoring. The shift from live performance to written scores began in the early 1900s. French composer (作家) Camille Saint-Saens was the first to write original music specially for film. This marked a new stage of film scoring. 8 They worked closely with directors. As sound technology advanced, film scoring became an important part of the film-making process. 9 By the mid-20th century, they grew to include rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. Films like Saturday Night Fever used popular music to define both character and culture. In science fiction films, electronic sounds were used to create a sense of the unknown. Today, film musicians continue to shape the way we experience films. Masters like Hans Zimmer have moved us deeply with the beautiful score in Interstellar. Combining traditional instruments with digital production in innovative ways, he has brought us new sounds. 10 A．The film industry gained big success. B．From then on, more composers joined in. C．Musicians would play live music in theaters. D．As a new kind of music, it faced many challenges. E．His music takes us on a whole new journey of the senses. F．Through the years, film scores took on various musical styles. G．Their music deepens emotion and connects the audience to the story. Passage 3 In the 17th century, a glorious romantic ghost novel emerged in China. It spread widely in the form of hand-written copies at first, was performed on the stage of traditional Chinese opera later, and now has been adapted for films and TV series that are deeply loved by people. This is Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. 11 . Its author was Pu Songling, a native of Zibo, Shandong, called Mr Liaozhai by people after the name of his studio. 12 . It consists of 12 chapters and 491 stories with diversified contents on a wide range of themes. Most works in the book are stories about spirits, monsters, ghosts and goblins. The book, which recorded strange stories, is named after the author's studio, Liaozhai. Pu Songling created Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio on the basis of extensively gathering folk ghost stories, unofficial history, and miscellaneous talks. 13 . They reflect corrupt officials’ atrocities of taking bribes, perverting justice and tyrannizing (专横地对待)people. Representatives of such works mainly include Xi Fangping, Dream of Wolves, The Cricket, etc. 14 . He said, “I piece together the finest fragments of fox fur to make a fur coat and want to continue Records of the Hidden and the Visible Worlds; I drink wine with a big cup to write a book similar to Solitary Indignation. Such hope makes me feel very sad!” ★Though he never achieved his ambition in his lifetime, his Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was widely spread among people and highly evaluated by later scholars. Modern writer Lao She praised this book. He said, “ 15 .

Toni Morrison once said, “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” For Morrison, literature was not merely a form of entertainment. 17 Through language, we preserve our experiences, our emotions, and our very essence. James Baldwin, in his essay “The Creative Process”, argued that literature serves as a mirror and a map. He wrote, “ 18 ” Baldwin believed that literature had the power to confront uncomfortable truths and inspire social change. His works demonstrate how stories can simultaneously reflect reality and chart moral progress. The novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, for instance, not only exposed racial injustice in 1950s America but also envisioned paths toward empathy and reconciliation (和解). Milan Kundera, in “The Art of the Novel”, emphasized literature’s ability to explore the complexity of human existence. “The novel’s wisdom,” he claimed, “is different from the wisdom of philosophy. 19 ” For Kundera, literature’s value lies in its capacity to embrace life's contradictions without seeking simplistic resolutions. As I reflect on these perspectives, I am reminded of literature’s unique role in our lives. 20 By revealing unseen possibilities, it acts as both a time capsule of collective memory and a blueprint for unwritten futures. In a world increasingly driven by binary (二进制) thinking, literature offers a space for subtle difference, empathy, and profound understanding. A．It is an act of resistance against being forgotten. B．Literature's ability to entertain is its most important function. C．Literature provides clear answers to life's most difficult questions. D．Some even argue that literature has lost its place in modern society. E．It is not just a reflection of who we are but also a vision of who we might become. F．It is the wisdom of uncertainty, of ambiguity and of questioning rather than answering. G．It was through literature that we could see ourselves clearly and chart a course for our future.\ 话题6 节日风俗（人与社会） Passage 1 Glowing Chinese Lanterns Chinese lanterns come from a 2,000-year-old tale: When Chinese emperor Zhuge Liang needed to send a signal during a dark night, he had an idea. 1 He wove together the bamboo frame (框架) in the same shape as the hat he was known for wearing. After placing the rice paper over the frame and a candle at the base, the first Chinese lantern was lit. Zhuge Liang was also called Kongming, his traditional style name in ancient China. 2 Today, these floating lanterns are common in all Chinese festivities. Carefully made, they often feature Chinese calligraphy and traditional good-fortune symbols—dragons, flowers and the New Year’s zodiac animal. Outside of China, they have been adopted for festivals worldwide. These creative lanterns are also seen as an early form of the hot-air balloon, which was invented later in 1783. 3 Did you know? Sky lanterns can reach altitudes of up to 800 metres. Traditionally, the outside of a Chinese lantern is made of rice paper or silk. The paper covering the lantern is translucent (半透明的), meaning it lets some light through. 4 This creates a wonderful sight when many are let go into the sky at one time during Chinese celebrations. Chinese lanterns come in different colours, but most of them are red as it represents luck and joy. 5 Yet today they hold new meanings, such as bringing luck to school students. Besides, white lanterns are usually used for funerals, as they show sadness and respect for the dead in these serious ceremonies. A．He tried to ask for help from other people.

Passage 2 Calligraphy, as an important part of Chinese culture, was an ancient art of writing words aesthetically (审美地). 6 Regular practice of calligraphy can have many benefits for the individuals and culture. In order to practise calligraphy, we need to know how to use the pen to create each stroke (笔画) of the characters, which activates (激活) the motor areas of the brain. At the same time, the language areas are also engaged. Studies have shown that children remember the spelling of a word much better when they are writing the word out by hand. Practicing calligraphy can improve hand-eye coordination (协调) and fine motor skills. 7 Besides the physical influence, the practice of calligraphy can be linked to various mental health benefits. Good mental health covers social, emotional, and psychological well-being. 8 It can help to calm the mind and focus, allowing the calligrapher to enter a state of mindful awareness and look inward to reflect on their heart and minds. When creating beautiful characters, individuals can place their emotions into the art form, achieving a sense of achievement. Calligraphy has its traditional and cultural significance. Chinese calligraphy is deeply rooted in Chinese culture and history, showing the values and ideals of traditional Chinese society. Through this art form, calligrapher can develop a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage and aesthetics. 9 The beauty of a well-written character can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their cultural background. In this way, calligraphy serves as a bridge across cultures between different worlds. So the practice of calligraphy can serve as a means of protecting and promoting traditional Chinese art forms. 10 A．It is also a form of communication. B．So it can improve a person’s confidence. C．Today, it is still considered to be an art form. D．Calligraphy provides a way for emotional expression E．Calligraphers have their styles, techniques of creating F．And it ensures they are passed down from generation to generation. G．So practising calligraphy is good for the individuals’ physical health. Passage 3 Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. 11 Since the Warring States Period (战国时期), the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. 12 And sugar, the expensive product once only served to the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. 13 Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. 14 The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. 15 A．But they’re too expensive for many to buy. B．It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. C．To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. D．However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. E．So the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. F．Because this art form with a long history is popular with people of all ages. G．In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. Passage 4 As I stepped off the plane in Yunnan, I was about to begin an unforgettable experience: the Water-Splashing Festival. On the morning of the festival, people were busy getting prepared. Their faces lit with expectation. I, a foreigner, really stood out in the street. A passing vendor (小贩) noticed my out-of-place expression and flashed me a wide smile. 16 Walking through the lively streets of Xishuangbanna with excitement, I saw a group of local children approaching me, their eyes shining with kindness. They handed me a traditional Dai hat and in that simple gesture, I felt a connection to this land and its people. 17 Such a moment highlights how the Water-Splashing Festival is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of warmth and openness. Soon, the most important event, the water splashing, began. People of all ages, armed with water guns and buckets, filled the streets. 18 The thought of getting completely wet in front of so many strangers made me nervous. But then, a group of local boys targeted me with their water guns. Before I knew it, I got wet through, and a burst of laughter escaped my lips. In that moment, all my hesitations faded away. 19 But for me, it was also a way to wash away the distance between myself and the people around me. As the sun began to set, the festival finally ended. But the memories created, the friendship formed, the cultural understanding gained would last a lifetime. 20 It caught me that by being brave enough to explore new cultures, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We enrich our lives in ways we could never have imagined, filling them laughter, warmth, and the magic of cultural connection. A．At first, I was a bit hesitant. B．That warmth and friendliness immediately put me at ease. C．The water-splashing had a long history for the Dai people. D．It made me understand that a kind act can break down cultural barriers.

What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family matters:Families set the stage for future relationships. The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 . It’s often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family. 2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on. When life gets hard, people need support. 2 . Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love. 3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance. Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 . Of course, there are other things at play (起作用), but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications. 4. 4 . Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. It’s parents’ responsibility to guide their children and provide life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 . A．Families teach important life lessons.

Even as they grow older, family stays a steady support, cheering on their joys and standing by them through hard times. 12 When family members listen to a child’s worries or praise their small wins, it builds the child’s confidence little by little. Parents might read bedtime stories to teach new words, help with homework when it’s difficult, or talk about their day to encourage curiosity. This kind of support doesn’t just make kids better at school but helps them feel ready for future life. Families pass on traditions and teach good habits. Think about the special things many families do: making a favorite dish every holiday, telling stories about grandparents, or even having a silly rule for game nights. 13 Kids need to learn sharing toys with siblings or saying “sorry” when they’re wrong. All the practices help children feel connected to their roots. Families bond through small shared moments. Making family bonds stronger doesn’t need big plans. Something as simple as sitting down to eat dinner together works: putting away phones to talk about the day lets everyone feel heard. 14 For example, creating small, regular moments, like a weekly walk or watching a favorite show together, also helps. Family serves as the quiet base of a happy life. 15 All these are what keep families strong and warm for years. A．Big trips could bring families closer. B．Families support the growth of children. C．For children, it’s when they first learn. D．Parents prefer complex activities to simple ones. E．Another way is to set fixed time for a family activity. F．Families also teach kids how to get on well with others. G．It achieves this by helping growth, keeping traditions, and sharing moments. 【答案】11．C 12．B 13．F 14．E 15．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述家庭是幸福生活的基石，对孩子而言是初次学习的地方，不仅支持其成长、传递传统与好习惯，还通过共享微小时刻建立联结，这些共同维系着家庭的温暖与稳固。 11．根据上文“A family is a place filled with love, care, and shared days.(家庭是一个充满爱、关怀和共同过日子的温馨之所)”以及后文“They pick up their first words, understand what kindness means; and find comfort when things go wrong.(他们开始学会说话，理解“善良”意味着什么；当遇到问题时，也能从中获得安慰)”可知，前文定义“家庭是充满爱、关怀和共享时光的地方”，后文衔接“他们学会第一句话、理解善良的含义、遇到困难时获得安慰”，核心是“孩子在家庭中初次学习”。C选项中的“first learn”与后文 “pick up their first words, understand what kindness means”直接呼应，逻辑连贯。C选项“对于孩子来说，这是他们刚开始学习的时候”符合语境，故选C。 12．根据后文“When family members listen to a child’s worries or praise their small wins, it builds the child’s confidence little by little. Parents might read bedtime stories to teach new words, help with homework when it’s difficult, or talk about their day to encourage curiosity. This kind of support doesn’t just make kids better at school but helps them feel ready for future life.(当家庭成员倾听孩子的烦恼或称赞他们取得的小成就时，会逐渐增强孩子的自信心。父母可以读睡前故事来教授新单词，当孩子遇到难题时给予帮助，或者与孩子交流当天的经历以激发他们的求知欲。这种支持不仅能让孩子在学校表现更好，还能帮助他们为未来的生活做好准备)”可知，此空为段落主题句，后文围绕“家人倾听孩子的烦恼、赞扬小成就”“父母读睡前故事、辅导作业”等内容展开，核心是“家庭对孩子成长的支持”。B选项直接点明主题，与后文“builds the child's confidence”“helps them feel ready for future life”形成总分关系，符合逻辑。B选项“家庭有助于孩子的成长”符合语境。故选B。 13．根据上文“Think about the special things many families do: making a favorite dish every holiday, telling stories about grandparents, or even having a silly rule for game nights.(想想许多家庭所特有的那些活动吧：每逢节日都会做一道心爱的菜肴，讲述关于祖父母的故事，或者在游戏之夜制定一些有趣的规则)”以及后文“Kids need to learn sharing toys with siblings or saying “sorry” when they’re wrong. All the practices help children feel connected to their roots.(孩子们需要学会与兄弟姐妹分享玩具，或者在犯错时说“对不起”。所有这些行为都有助于孩子们感受到与自己家庭的紧密联系)”可知，前文提到“家庭传递传统、教授好习惯”，列举了节日美食、祖辈故事等传统，后文衔接 “孩子需要学会与兄弟姐妹分享玩具、犯错时说‘对不起’”，这些均属于“与人相处的能力”。F选项中的“get on well with others”与后文“sharing toys”“saying sorry'”呼应，且“also”承接前文“pass on traditions”，体现“教授内容的递进”，逻辑通顺。F选项“家庭还会教导孩子如何与他人友好相处”符合语境，故选F。 14．根据上文“Making family bonds stronger doesn’t need big plans. Something as simple as sitting down to eat dinner together works: putting away phones to talk about the day lets everyone feel heard.(加强家庭关系并不需要多么宏大的计划。像一起坐下来共进晚餐这样简单的事情也能起到作用：放下手机，聊聊当天发生的事，能让每个人都感到自己的话有人倾听)”以及后文“For example, creating small, regular moments, like a weekly walk or watching a favorite show together, also helps.(例如，创造一些短暂且规律的活动，比如每周一起散步或者一起观看一部喜爱的节目，也有助于缓解压力)”可知，段落主题是“家庭通过微小的共享时刻建立联结”，前文提到“一起吃晚餐”这一简单方式，后文举例“每周散步、一起看喜欢的节目”。E选项中的“Another way”承接前文“something as simple as...”，“fixed time for a family activity”与后文“weekly walk、regular moments”直接呼应，体现“建立联结的多种方式”，符合语境。E选项“另一种方式是为家庭活动设定固定的时间”符合语境，故选E。 15．根据上文“Family serves as the quiet base of a happy life.(家庭是幸福生活的宁静基石)”可知，前文总结“家庭是幸福生活的安静基石”，后文“All these are what keep families strong and warm for years.(所有这些因素都能够让家庭长久地保持温馨与稳固)”中的“these”需指代前文内容。文章第二至四段分别论述了家庭的三个作用：支持孩子成长、传递传统和好习惯、共享时光建立联结。G选项中的“helping growth, keeping traditions, and sharing moments”恰好概括了这三大核心，起到“总结前文、衔接后文”的作用。G选项“它通过促进成长、保持传统以及共享时光来实现这一目标”符合语境，故选G。 Passage 4 While holidays may have been filled with trips or relaxing at home during childhood, by traveling with your parents as an adult, you can explore new places and share special moments together that you can look back on with a smile. 16 Rebuild the relationship. While there are old ways of getting along in the parent-child relationship, a trip abroad can help you become friendly again. You are no longer the kid who always breaks a cup, and your parents are no longer just the ones who shouted about it. 17 Experiences such as finding new places in a strange environment and dealing with challenges like losing hotel keys create moments of understanding and connection. 18 A journey can provide an exciting chance to discover new things about your family. For example, you might discover that one of your parents has a gift for organizing the trip. These realizations can make your relationship with them more interesting, full of laughter and the willingness to learn more about them. What’s more, when you see how your family deals with travel plans—like booking tickets or finding restaurants—you’ll notice skills they have that you don’t usually see in daily life. Create new memories. 19 Travel, however, gives you the chance to share new and wonderful moments together. Even if you didn’t have the best childhood memories growing up, traveling lets you connect with each other, creating all-new memories. It would be even better if there’s less arguing along the way. Realize the gift of time. Traveling with aging parents isn’t always easy because of schedules, different energy levels, and interests. However, moments like laughter, quiet conversations, and viewing the same sight are deeply meaningful. 20 A．Get to know them better. B．Find your family’s travel habits. C．But new experiences often bring awkward moments. D．Everyone has different impressions of their childhood. E．They remind us to value the time we have with them. F．Instead, you become travel partners who support each other. G．Read ahead to discover the advantages of traveling with your parents. 【答案】16．G 17．F 18．A 19．D 20．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述成年后与父母旅行的益处，包括重建亲子关系、加深对父母的了解、创造全新共同回忆，以及在过程中懂得珍惜与父母相处的时光。 16．由上文“While holidays may have been filled with trips or relaxing at home during childhood, by traveling with your parents as an adult, you can explore new places and share special moments together that you can look back on with a smile. (虽然在童年时期，假期可能充满了旅行或在家放松，但通过在成年后和父母一起旅行，你可以探索新的地方，并分享特别的时刻，这些时刻让你日后回想起来都能面带微笑。)”以及全文结构可知，本空作为首段末句，需要承上启下，引出下文将详细阐述的几个好处。G选项“Read ahead to discover the advantages of traveling with your parents. (继续阅读，去发现和父母一起旅行的好处。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 17．由上文“You are no longer the kid who always breaks a cup, and your parents are no longer just the ones who shouted about it. (你不再是那个总是打碎杯子的孩子，你的父母也不再只是那个为此吼叫的人。)”可知，本空要说旅行如何改变了旧有的相处模式。F选项“Instead, you become travel partners who support each other. (相反，你们变成了互相支持的旅行伙伴。)”能承接上文，符合题意。该选项中的“Instead”与上文的“no longer”形成逻辑转折，明确指出新的关系是“旅行伙伴”，与下文的“create moments of understanding and connection (创造理解和连接的瞬间)”相呼应。故选F。 18．本段空白处为段落小标题。根据本段内容“A journey can provide an exciting chance to discover new things about your family. For example, you might discover that one of your parents has a gift for organizing the trip (旅行可以提供一个激动人心的机会，让你发现关于家人的新事物。例如，你可能会发现你的父母中有一位有规划旅行的天赋)”及“you’ll notice skills they have that you don't usually see in daily life.(你会注意到他们在日常生活中不常展现的技能)”可知，本段核心是通过旅行发现父母不为人知的一面，从而更好地了解他们。A选项“Get to know them better. (更好地了解他们。)”能精准概括本段主旨。故选A。 19．由下文“Travel, however, gives you the chance to share new and wonderful moments together. (然而，旅行给了你们一起分享崭新而美好时刻的机会。)”中“however”表转折，以及“traveling lets you connect with each other, creating all-new memories.(旅行让你们彼此联系，创造全新的回忆。)”可知，本空要说与“创造新记忆”相对的情况，即过去的回忆。D选项“Everyone has different impressions of their childhood. (每个人对自己的童年都有不同的印象。)”能引出下文，符合题意。该选项说明了童年记忆因人而异、未必完美，从而与下文旅行创造全新美好记忆形成对比。故选D。 20．由上文“However, moments like laughter, quiet conversations, and viewing the same sight are deeply meaningful. (然而，那些欢笑、安静的交谈和欣赏同一片风景的时刻是意义深远的。)”可知，本空要总结这些时刻带给我们的启示。E选项“They remind us to value the time we have with them. (它们提醒我们要珍惜我们与他们共度的时光。)”能总结上文，符合题意。该选项中的“They”指代上文的那些珍贵时刻，并点明了本段小标题“Realize the gift of time (意识到时间的馈赠)”的核心。故选E。 话题3 友谊（人与社会） Passage 1 From early childhood, you are looking for your good friends.

This doesn’t mean giving up on your best friends. Recognize that they and you will have a mixture of pals and they’ll make your life in different ways.

Talk about where you’d like to and how long a vacation is OK for all. Will you be together all of the time? 18 Will there be one or two main planning leaders?

Try to find some common ground when planning a budget (预算) for accommodations, visiting attractions, meals out, and activities. Stay safe.

B．Choose a tour leader of your group. C．Will there be days to explore separately? D．People often have different ideas when it comes to money.

(你可以想象一下这样的场景：与最亲密的朋友们一起放松，探索那些充满新奇与刺激的地方。与此同时，你还能品尝到美味的食物，留下美好的回忆。)”提到与朋友一起放松和探索新目的地的美好画面，而G选项“However, travelling with your closest friends sometimes can be a terrible experience. (然而，和最亲密的朋友们一起旅行有时却会是一次糟糕的经历。)”通过“however”进行转折，指出与最亲密的朋友一起旅行有时也可能是一次糟糕的经历，从而引出下文关于如何规划一次愉快的旅行的建议。因此，G选项承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 17．下文“Slow down and honestly discuss what everyone hopes to get out of the vacation before booking anything.

I started to skip (略过) breakfast. Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat. 1 And in fact, breakfast is easily burnt throughout the day. I bought diet food. When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc. 2 I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more. I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food. If you eat too much any food, you’re not doing yourself any favors. 3 Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down. But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food. I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with few more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards. I was too awkward to go to the gym. Joining a gym was one of the hardest things I ever did. I was always worried that people in the gym would be staring at me and talking about me. I really thought I was too fat to join. My advice is to join a gym! 4 I set my goals too high. Setting long-term goals is great, but these goals always seem too far off. You need to set smaller, more reachable goals. 5 Set yourself weekly and monthly goals. Once you meet one short-term goal, set a new one for next week. A．I thought I’d always be fat. B．I promise you’ll be glad you do. C．But it doesn’t keep you full for long. D．I started eating salads as main meals. E．But I was buying these foods for the wrong reason. F．So you can achieve them now and then and cheer yourself up. G．However, if so, you’re much more likely to eat more for lunch. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．D 4．B 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者在减肥过程中犯的错误。 1．根据前文“Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat.(大多数试图减肥的人认为，只要少吃和不吃饭就可以帮助摆脱脂肪)”再根据本文标题“Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight(我在减肥过程中犯的错误)”是说的作者犯的错误，所以接下来应该讲述不吃早餐对减肥的坏处，所以G项(然而，如果是这样的话，你午餐很可能会吃得更多)符合文意。故选G项。 2．根据本段首句“I bought diet food.(我买了减肥食品)”可知，本段主要讲述了买减肥食品是错误的，再根据前文“When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc.(当我去购物时，我总是寻找标有减肥、低脂、健康等字样的食品)”以及后文“I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more. I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food.(我买这些食物是因为在我看来，这意味着我可以买更多。我完全不会注意食物的数量)”可知，空处应是转折，讲述买减肥食品的错误，所以E项(但我买这些食物的原因是错误的)符合文意。故选E项。 3．分析设空可知，空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，讲述自己犯的另一个错误，所以根据后文“Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down. But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food.(吃沙拉是降低卡路里摄入的好方法。但我发现，仅仅在我吃完饭后的片刻，我就在寻找更多的食物)”可知，本段主要讲吃沙拉的问题，所以D项(我开始把沙拉作为主食)符合文意，其中salad为同词复现。故选D项。 4．根据本段首句“I was too awkward to go to the gym.(我太尴尬了，不敢去健身房)”可知，本段主要讲我不敢去健身房的错误，再根据前文“My advice is to join a gym!(我的建议是加入健身房)”可推知，接下来应该讲述这么做的好处，所以B项(我保证你会很高兴的)符合文意。故选B项。 5．根据本段首句“I set my goals too high.(我的目标定得太高了)”可知，本段主要讲述了制定目标上的错误，再根据前文“You need to set smaller, more reachable goals.(你需要设定更小、更容易实现的目标)”可知，后文应解释为什么这么设定目标，所以F项(所以你可以时不时地实现它们，让自己高兴起来)符合文意。故选F项。 Passage 2 Teens are busy. Their schedules are filled with school, work, after-school activities, homework and social time with friends. They may not have much enough free time, and what free time they have often is spent on screens. Regular (定期的) exercise is important for teens, but it can be a challenge to get them moving. 6 Here are some suggestions if your teen appears to be interested. Find the fun. Exercise doesn’t need to be boring. Work together to find exercises that your teen finds fun and interesting. Try a new sport. Play music and have a dance party in the kitchen. Explore a country road or bike to a local park. Try a new exercise video online. 7 Add exercise to your everyday activities. 8 Encourage your teen to take a walk with friends during lunch, use the stairs instead of elevator (电梯) or park the car at the back of the lot. These are ways that you can develop healthy habits, as well. Cheer them on. 9 Everyone likes to hear they are doing a good job, even teens who roll their eyes. Applaud (鼓掌) them for their results. Tell them that slow and continuing progress is a good way to keep healthy habits going. 10 Not every teen wants to join a sports team, but movement can be included in other activities. If your teen enjoys photography, explore hiking trails or parks for chances. Teens who love to read may be interested in biking to bookstores or animal-loving teens could volunteer as a dog walker at a local animal shelter. A．Don’t forget that daily bit matters. B．Connect exercise with other interests. C．Notice and praise teens when they exercise. D．Though encouraging teens can be a challenge, it’s possible. E．Exercising with others keeps us connected and teens are no exception. F．Focusing on it will make exercise something they look forward to, instead of fear. G．If your kids take part in a sport, they will probably be more successful at work. 【答案】6．D 7．F 8．A 9．C 10．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了如何通过趣味性、日常融入、积极鼓励和兴趣结合的方式，帮助忙碌的青少年养成运动习惯。 6．前文“They may not have much enough free time, and what free time they have often is spent on screens. Regular (定期的) exercise is important for teens, but it can be a challenge to get them moving. (他们可能没有足够的空闲时间，而他们的空闲时间通常都花在屏幕上。定期锻炼对青少年来说很重要，但让他们动起来可能是一个挑战。)”指出让空闲时间有限的青少年运动是个挑战的问题，后文“Here are some suggestions if your teen appears to be interested. (如果你的孩子对此感兴趣，这里有一些建议。)”给出建议，因此D项“Though encouraging teens can be a challenge, it’s possible. (虽然鼓励青少年运动是个挑战，但这是可能的。)”符合语境，既承接了挑战，又引出解决方向，其中的challenge在前文有同词复现。故选D。 7．前文“Work together to find exercises that your teen finds fun and interesting. Try a new sport. Play music and have a dance party in the kitchen. Explore a country road or bike to a local park. Try a new exercise video online. (一起找一些孩子觉得有趣的锻炼。尝试一项新的运动。放点音乐，在厨房里开个舞会。探索乡间小路或骑自行车去当地的公园。尝试新的在线运动视频。)”建议尝试有趣的运动，列举了跳舞、骑行等有趣活动，因此F项“Focusing on it will make exercise something they look forward to, instead of fear.

(在日常活动中增加锻炼。)”建议将运动融入日常，后文“Encourage your teen to take a walk with friends during lunch, use the stairs instead of elevator (电梯) or park the car at the back of the lot. (鼓励你的孩子在午餐时间和朋友散步，走楼梯而不是电梯，或者把车停在停车场的后面。)”给出各种日常的小做法，因此A项“Don’t forget that daily bit matters. (别忘了日常点滴很重要。)”符合语境，提醒日常活动的重要性，契合主旨句，引出后文的做法。故选A。 9．段首主旨句“Cheer them on. (为他们加油。)”建议为青少年加油，后文“Everyone likes to hear they are doing a good job, even teens who roll their eyes. Applaud (鼓掌) them for their results.

(当青少年运动时，注意并表扬他们。)”符合语境，解释如何为青少年加油，承前启后。故选C。 10．后文“Not every teen wants to join a sports team, but movement can be included in other activities.

Heart Health and Weight Management Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation (循环). 12 Besides, regular quick walking supports in weight management by burning calories and improving digestion (消化), making it an excellent choice for those looking to throw away pounds or keep a healthy weight. Stress Drop and Clear Mind Taking a relaxing walk or quick walk has been shown to give off endorphins, the body’s natural “feel-good” materials. This leads to lower pressure (压力) levels, improved feelings, and improved mental health. Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks. 13 Joint (关节) Health and Free Movement Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. 14 At the same time, it also raises the ability to move freely and easily. Walking regularly can be particularly good for those recovering from pain or looking to avoid problems with joints. Social Communication and Connection 15 Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide a chance to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories while at the same time bringing the physical benefits. A．It helps oil joints and make them stronger. B．In fact, it is not as simple as it seems. C．So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh. D．Taking a slow walk after meals is better than taking a quick one. E．It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure. F．Walking is useful exercise that can easily be turned into a social activity. G．However, walking remains one of the easiest and most useful forms of exercise. 【答案】11．G 12．E 13．C 14．A 15．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了步行的益处。 11．根据前文“In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs, the simple act of walking often goes unnoticed.(在一个由高强度运动和复杂健身计划主导的世界里，步行这一简单行为常被忽视)”以及后文“It offers physical and mental benefits that lead to total happiness.(它能带来身心健康益处，让人收获十足幸福感)”可知，此空需通过转折强调“步行的价值”，扭转前文“被忽视”的印象。G选项“However, walking remains one of the easiest and most useful forms of exercise.(然而，步行仍是最简单且最实用的运动形式之一)”符合语境。故选G项。 12．根据本段小标题“Heart Health and Weight Management (心脏健康与体重管理)”以及前文“Walking is light heart exercise that helps improve heart health by increasing blood circulation.(步行是轻度有氧运动，能通过促进血液循环改善心脏健康)”可知，此空需进一步说明步行对“心脏健康”的具体好处。E选项“It cuts down the risk of heart disease and brings down blood pressure.(它能降低患心脏病的风险，还能降低血压)”符合语境。故选E项。 13．根据本段小标题“Stress Drop and Clear Mind (缓解压力与清醒头脑)”以及前文“Walking outdoors in nature or in a peaceful environment can provide a refreshing escape from the daily tasks.(在户外自然环境或安静环境中步行，能让人暂时摆脱日常事务，感到神清气爽)”可知，此空需总结步行对“心理状态”的影响。C选项“So taking a walk can make your mind relaxed and fresh.(因此，散步能让你的头脑放松、清醒)”符合语境。故选C项。 14．根据本段小标题“Joint Health and Free Movement (关节健康与活动自如)”以及前文“Unlike active sports, walking is soft on the joints, making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels.(与剧烈运动不同，步行对关节冲击小，是适合各年龄段和体能水平人群的理想选择)”可知，此空需补充步行对“关节健康”的具体作用。A选项“It helps oil joints and make them stronger.(它有助于润滑关节，使其更强健)”符合语境。故选A项。 15．根据本段小标题“Social Communication and Connection (社交互动与联结)”以及后文“Walking clubs, group climbs, or even simple walking with a friend or family member can provide a chance to connect...(步行俱乐部、集体徒步，甚至只是和朋友或家人一起散步，都能提供交流的机会……)”可知，此空需点明“步行与社交的关联”，作为段落总起。F选项“Walking is useful exercise that can easily be turned into a social activity.(步行是种实用的运动，还能轻松转化为社交活动)”符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 4 If you always find at-home exercise difficult to stay motivated (有动力的) like the exercise at the gym. Here are some tips for you. Set specific (具体的) fitness goals. Many people start with unclear fitness goals like “Lose weight. Be healthier.” 16 , but they don’t help much with planning or getting started. If you already have a regular gym habit, these goals might be easy enough to keep up. But if you need to get serious about making yourself get off the sofa and exercise at home, I don’t think they work. 17 . For example, you could set a goal to lift a certain weight with your arms by your next birthday, or lose a certain number of pounds by an upcoming event. The key is to make goals that are personal, actionable, measurable, and time-bound. Meet your own deadlines. You’ll find that it keeps you focused. For instance, if you set a goal to do a one-legged squat (深蹲) by May and actually achieve it in April, this will make you feel proud and eager to set the next goal, 18 , try a rewards system. If your goal is to lift 30 pounds with your arms by December and you’re currently at 15 pounds, think of rewards for reaching 20 and 25 pounds. Maybe treat yourself to a meal at a favorite restaurant. 19 . Cristina Chan, a F45 Global Recovery Athlete, says that tracking your workouts in a way that’s easy to see can make a huge difference when exercising alone. She suggests marking a calendar, using a habit tracker app, or even putting sticky notes on a wall to record your active days. Seeing how regularly you keep doing it over time is a powerful motivator, 20 . A．These are great ideas B．If you focus on your goals C．Pay for your gym membership D．Keep track of how you’re doing toward your goals E．If a general feeling of doing better isn’t enough for you F．That’s why you should start setting much more specific goals G．It enables you to focus on showing up instead of physical results 【答案】16．A 17．F 18．E 19．D 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何保持在家里锻炼的动力提供了一些建议，其中包括制定具体健身目标、运用奖励机制并追踪进展等方法。 16．根据前文“Many people start with unclear fitness goals like “Lose weight. Be healthier.”(很多人一开始会设定模糊的健身目标，比如“减重、更健康”)”，以及后文“but they don’t help much with planning or getting started.(但这些目标对规划或启动锻炼没什么帮助)”可知，此空需先肯定这些目标的初衷，再通过“but”转折指出其不足。A选项“These are great ideas (这些想法很好)”承上启下，先肯定这些想法本身不错，再通过后文转折说明其局限性，符合逻辑衔接。故选A项。 17．根据前文“But if you need to get serious about making yourself get off the sofa and exercise at home, I don’t think they work.(但如果你真的想让自己离开沙发、在家锻炼，这些模糊目标是没用的)”，以及后文“For example, you could set a goal to lift a certain weight with your arms by your next birthday, or lose a certain number of pounds by an upcoming event.(比如，你可以设定一个目标：到下次生日时能用手臂举起一定重量的物体，或在即将到来的某个活动前减重若干磅)”可知，此空需引出“设定具体目标”的必要性。F选项“That’s why you should start setting much more specific goals(这就是为什么你应该开始设定更具体的目标)”承接前文“模糊目标无效”的原因，引出“设定具体目标”的解决方案，与后文举例内容一致，符合语境。故选F项。 18．根据前文“For instance, if you set a goal to do a one-legged squat (深蹲) by May and actually achieve it in April, this will make you feel proud and eager to set the next goal,(比如，如果你设定5月前完成单腿深蹲，却在4月就实现了，这会让你感到自豪，并渴望设定下一个目标)”，以及后文“try a rewards system.(试试奖励机制)”可知，此空需假设“单纯的成就感不足以激励”的情况，进而引出奖励机制。E选项“If a general feeling of doing better isn’t enough for you(如果做得更好的普遍成就感对你来说不够)”引出后文的奖励系统，符合语境。故选E项。 19．分析语篇结构，此处需为本段小标题，与其他段落小标题格式一致（均为祈使句），且需概括段落核心内容。根据后文“Cristina Chan, a F45 Global Recovery Athlete, says that tracking your workouts in a way that’s easy to see can make a huge difference when exercising alone. She suggests marking a calendar, using a habit tracker app, or even putting sticky notes on a wall to record your active days.(克里斯蒂娜·陈表示，以清晰可见的方式追踪锻炼进度，对独自锻炼的人来说作用很大。她建议标记日历、使用习惯追踪APP，甚至在墙上贴便利贴记录运动日)”可知，本段围绕“追踪目标进展”展开。D选项“Keep track of how you’re doing toward your goals(记录你朝着目标的进展情况)”为祈使句，点明“记录目标进展”的段落主旨，适合作小标题。故选D项。 20．根据前文“Seeing how regularly you keep doing it over time is a powerful motivator,(长期看到自己规律锻炼的记录，是一种强大的动力)”可知，此空需进一步说明“记录进度”的具体作用。G选项“It enables you to focus on showing up instead of physical results(它能让你专注于坚持参与，而非身体上的结果)”补充说明动力产生的具体原因，符合语境。故选G项。 话题5 电影与文学作品（人与社会） Passage 1 How to Write a Movie Review Writing a good movie review is helpful, whether you do it for fun or for work. 1 If you’ve recently watched a film and want to share your opinions about it, here are some tips to help you write a wonderful movie review. Start with a short story summary. A summary helps to give readers an idea of the movie. Briefly describe the main people, where the story happens, and the main problem in the movie. Never break the most important rule: don’t tell too much. 2 Move into your analysis(分析) of the movie. Write a few paragraphs discussing interesting parts in the movie, such as the acting, the direction, the cinematography(摄影), and the setting. 3 The easier and clearer your writing is, the more interested you readers will be. Use plenty of examples to support your points. If you make a statement about the movie, give a descriptive example. Describe the way scenes look, the way a certain person acted, camera angles, and so on. 4 In this way you are giving your readers a feel of the movie and continuing to make comments on the film at the same time. 5 Your review doesn’t have to be a formal essay. It’s more impressive if you make it your own. If your writing style is usually interesting, your review should be interesting too. If you’re serious, that’s OK. Your writing should show your personality—it makes your review more enjoyable to read. A．Give it some personality. B．Keep an interesting style. C．Don’t use too many terms about film making. D．You can use dialogues from the movie as well. E．You should first watch enough movies on your own. F．Otherwise, you may ruin the movie for your readers.

(写几个段落，探讨这部电影中的精彩之处，比如表演、导演手法、摄影以及场景设置等方面。)”和下文“The easier and clearer your writing is, the more interested your readers will be.(你的写作越简单清晰，读者就会越感兴趣。)”可知，空格处需给出“分析电影时的写作建议”，衔接“讨论内容”与“清晰写作”。C项“Don’t use too many terms about film making.(不要使用太多电影制作相关的术语。)”符合语境，“Don’t use too many terms”是“写作简单清晰”的具体做法，能帮助读者更好理解分析内容，与下文“读者更感兴趣”呼应，衔接自然。故选C项。 4．由上文“If you make a statement about the movie, give a descriptive example.

Toni Morrison once said, “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” For Morrison, literature was not merely a form of entertainment. 17 Through language, we preserve our experiences, our emotions, and our very essence. James Baldwin, in his essay “The Creative Process”, argued that literature serves as a mirror and a map. He wrote, “ 18 ” Baldwin believed that literature had the power to confront uncomfortable truths and inspire social change. His works demonstrate how stories can simultaneously reflect reality and chart moral progress. The novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, for instance, not only exposed racial injustice in 1950s America but also envisioned paths toward empathy and reconciliation (和解). Milan Kundera, in “The Art of the Novel”, emphasized literature’s ability to explore the complexity of human existence. “The novel’s wisdom,” he claimed, “is different from the wisdom of philosophy. 19 ” For Kundera, literature’s value lies in its capacity to embrace life's contradictions without seeking simplistic resolutions. As I reflect on these perspectives, I am reminded of literature’s unique role in our lives. 20 By revealing unseen possibilities, it acts as both a time capsule of collective memory and a blueprint for unwritten futures. In a world increasingly driven by binary (二进制) thinking, literature offers a space for subtle difference, empathy, and profound understanding. A．It is an act of resistance against being forgotten. B．Literature's ability to entertain is its most important function. C．Literature provides clear answers to life's most difficult questions. D．Some even argue that literature has lost its place in modern society. E．It is not just a reflection of who we are but also a vision of who we might become. F．It is the wisdom of uncertainty, of ambiguity and of questioning rather than answering. G．It was through literature that we could see ourselves clearly and chart a course for our future.\ 【答案】16．D 17．A 18．G 19．F 20．E 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了在数字媒体时代文学的持久价值和意义。文章通过引用多位著名作家和评论家的观点，阐述了文学作为记录人类经验、反映社会现实、探索人性复杂性的独特作用。 16．前文“In an age dominated by digital media, the question of literature’s relevance has never been more pressing.(在数字媒体主导的时代，文学的相关性问题从未如此紧迫)”提到数字媒体时代下文学价值的质疑，后文“As a novelist and literary critic, I often turn to the insights of great writers who have delved into this question before me.(作为小说家和文学评论家，我经常求助于那些在我之前探讨过这个问题的伟大作家的见解)”转向作者个人视角。由此可知，空处应承接前文对文学价值的质疑。D项“Some even argue that literature has lost its place in modern society.(有些人甚至认为文学在现代社会中已经失去了地位)”符合语境，故选D。 17．前文“For Morrison, literature was not merely a form of entertainment.(对莫里森来说，文学不仅仅是娱乐形式)”否定文学的单一功能，后文“Through language, we preserve our experiences, our emotions, and our very essence.(通过语言，我们保存了我们的经历、情感和本质)”说明文学的深层作用。空处需体现文学的反遗忘特性。A项“It is an act of resistance against being forgotten.(它是一种抵抗被遗忘的行为)”与莫里森“语言是生命尺度”的观点高度契合，故选A。 18．前文“James Baldwin, in his essay “The Creative Process”, argued that literature serves as a mirror and a map.(詹姆斯·鲍德温在他的文章《创造性过程》中认为，文学就像一面镜子，一张地图)”提及鲍德温认为文学是“镜与图”，后文“Baldwin believed that literature had the power to confront uncomfortable truths and inspire social change.

After placing the rice paper over the frame and a candle at the base, the first Chinese lantern was lit. Zhuge Liang was also called Kongming, his traditional style name in ancient China. 2 Today, these floating lanterns are common in all Chinese festivities.

Outside of China, they have been adopted for festivals worldwide. These creative lanterns are also seen as an early form of the hot-air balloon, which was invented later in 1783. 3 Did you know? Sky lanterns can reach altitudes of up to 800 metres. Traditionally, the outside of a Chinese lantern is made of rice paper or silk. The paper covering the lantern is translucent (半透明的), meaning it lets some light through. 4 This creates a wonderful sight when many are let go into the sky at one time during Chinese celebrations. Chinese lanterns come in different colours, but most of them are red as it represents luck and joy. 5 Yet today they hold new meanings, such as bringing luck to school students. Besides, white lanterns are usually used for funerals, as they show sadness and respect for the dead in these serious ceremonies. A．He tried to ask for help from other people.

With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting appeared. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. 13 Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. 14 The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. 15 A．But they’re too expensive for many to buy. B．It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. C．To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. D．However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently.

What’s worse, few people seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.(由于需求减少，曾经形状丰富的糖画变得越来越单调。更糟糕的是，除了那些年迈的糖画艺人，似乎很少有人愿意传承这门艺术)”，这清晰地表明糖画这种民间艺术正面临消亡的困境。D选项“However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently.(然而，遗憾的是，这种民间艺术最近正在消亡)”，直接点明了当前糖画所处的不利状况，与后文内容紧密相连，故选D。 15．前文指出“Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China.(现在，糖画已被列为中国非物质文化遗产)”，说明糖画得到了官方认可和保护。E选项“So the art should be remembered, missed and passed on.(所以这门艺术应该被铭记、怀念并传承下去)”，基于糖画成为非物质文化遗产这一事实，呼吁人们要铭记、怀念并传承这门艺术，符合逻辑和语境，故选E。 Passage 4 As I stepped off the plane in Yunnan, I was about to begin an unforgettable experience: the Water-Splashing Festival. On the morning of the festival, people were busy getting prepared. Their faces lit with expectation. I, a foreigner, really stood out in the street. A passing vendor (小贩) noticed my out-of-place expression and flashed me a wide smile. 16 Walking through the lively streets of Xishuangbanna with excitement, I saw a group of local children approaching me, their eyes shining with kindness. They handed me a traditional Dai hat and in that simple gesture, I felt a connection to this land and its people. 17 Such a moment highlights how the Water-Splashing Festival is more than just an event; it’s a celebration of warmth and openness. Soon, the most important event, the water splashing, began. People of all ages, armed with water guns and buckets, filled the streets. 18 The thought of getting completely wet in front of so many strangers made me nervous. But then, a group of local boys targeted me with their water guns. Before I knew it, I got wet through, and a burst of laughter escaped my lips. In that moment, all my hesitations faded away. 19 But for me, it was also a way to wash away the distance between myself and the people around me. As the sun began to set, the festival finally ended. But the memories created, the friendship formed, the cultural understanding gained would last a lifetime. 20 It caught me that by being brave enough to explore new cultures, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. We enrich our lives in ways we could never have imagined, filling them laughter, warmth, and the magic of cultural connection. A．At first, I was a bit hesitant. B．That warmth and friendliness immediately put me at ease. C．The water-splashing had a long history for the Dai people. D．It made me understand that a kind act can break down cultural barriers. E．This led to my new understanding of communicating with different people. F．My time at Yunnan’s Water-Splashing Festival was a journey of discovery. G．In Dai culture, splashing water means getting rid of bad luck and welcoming the new. 【答案】16．B 17．D 18．A 19．G 20．F 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在云南参加泼水节的难忘经历，通过这次经历作者感受到了傣族文化的温暖与开放，也对跨文化交流有了新的认识。 16．根据上文“A passing vendor (小贩) noticed my out-of-place expression and flashed me a wide smile.
