Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 2 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 3 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 4 If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 5       Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A．Be patient. B．Get the audience involved. C．The best messages are often simple. D．Speak directly to what matters to them. E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 1 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 2 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 3 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 4 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 5 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are that the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 【热点话题练习】 I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team. Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. 1 But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long. Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. 2 But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. 3 That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. 4 That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. Great teams are not on the same page all the time. 5 So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. A．We can still agree to disagree. B．But great teams know how to get there. C．The best relationships take time and effort. D．It is always complex and often requires multiple steps. E．Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution. F．People on a team often work together towards a common goal. G．That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict. A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food. 1 Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. 2 If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying. With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. 3 This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys. 4 When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices. All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. 5 A．The idea behind this approach is simple. B．Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket. C．The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online. D．This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice. E．People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping. F．As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products. G．That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd. According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 1 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 2 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 3 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 4 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished. 5 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A．Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B．So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn? C．Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D．Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. E．Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait? F．They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer. G．This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions. How to Avoid Over-consumption: Expert Tips to Beat Shopping Traps Black Friday and holiday sales, now a global phenomenon, are designed to trigger impulsive (冲动的) overspending by taking advantage of human psychology. Consumer experts warn that these events use methods like urgency and pleasure-driven brain responses to cloud judgment — but simple strategies can help shoppers stay in control. Make a needs-based list and stick to it. 1 Start by drafting a strict list of necessary items, not wants. Note their pre-sale prices: many “discounts” raise costs first, so comparing historical prices reveals true bargains. Even small, unplanned buys can add up to significant costs over time. This list acts as a guide, reducing the urge to spend too much on unplanned purchases. 2 When attracted by a non-list item, stop for a second. Step away from the screen or take a 10-minute walk in-store, have a coffee, and let the initial excitement driven by excitement hormones (荷尔蒙) fade. 3 Research shows urgency-fueled desires weaken quickly once tension eases. Avoid high-pressure sale environments. It’s easy to get trapped in the excitement of limited-time offers. Sale settings crowded stores, flash-sale pop-ups increase fear of missing out and social pressure. If you struggle with overspending, skip these environments entirely. Shopping outside peak sale times removes the hype (炒作) that ruins sensible choices. 4 Check for regret before making a purchase. Remember: impulsive purchases often lead to regret. Studies show sale buyers feel more regret than regular shoppers, and repeated overspending can harm long-term financial well-being. 5 If the answer is “no”, walk away. By combining planning, patience, and self-awareness, shoppers can navigate sales season wisely — prioritizing needs over impulses while protecting their wallets. A．Relax and ignore appealing offers. B．Pause and let yourself calm down. C．Avoiding sale pages online also works. D．Do you often feel regret after overspending? E．Will I still value this item a few months from now? F．This cooling-off period often holds back the impulse to buy. G．This simple step helps separate genuine needs from temporary wants. Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students. Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments. 1 It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management. 2 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 3 If anxiety is the main reason, practicing relaxation techniques before starting work may be helpful. For those troubled by perfectionism, setting “good enough” standards and focusing on progress rather than perfection can encourage earlier engagement. Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints. 4 5 For instance, breaking a large project into small steps and setting deadlines for each part can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Creating a tidy workspace and turning off social media notifications also minimize distractions. Overcoming procrastination is a gradual process that requires patience and consistent practice of these strategies. By starting small and celebrating each step of progress, students can gradually build motivation, replace old habits with more productive ones, and ultimately regain a sense of control and accomplishment in their academic and personal lives. A．This habit may arise from multiple psychological factors. B．Different causes of procrastination require specific responses. C．Learning to prioritize tasks is a key step towards self- discipline. D．Some other simple methods can make it easier for putters- off as well. E．Immediate action is crucial since such situations tend to worsen gradually. F．Therefore, it is vital to seek professional help once procrastination is identified. G．Family members may also encourage students by sharing their own experiences. Leisure Focus: Scrapbooking The dictionary defines a scrapbook as “an empty book for collecting and preserving photographs, newspaper articles, and other papers.” 1 To learn more about it, we talked with Diane Lucas of Scrapsforever.com. What is scrapbooking, exactly? When I make a scrapbook page, I take a few of my family photos and put them into a “layout”—a page that uses fancy paper, stickers, drawings, and words to show the theme. When you make a scrapbook, you put words and pictures together to show the important times in your life. 2 How did you get started? When I was a child, I loved looking at and remembering things like movie tickets and vacation postcards. 3 When I looked through his desk, I found the most wonderful things—like my parents’ anniversary cards, and photos from his Army days. I couldn’t throw away anything, so I made two scrapbooks, for my brother and me. 4 Oh, yes! We call ourselves “scrappers,” and we love to have big parties where we work on our scrapbooks. We bring our scissors and papers and our boxes of photos. It’s a time for enjoyment, when friends show pictures and tell stories about our families, and our lives. At the same time, we create a book to keep those memories. Why is scrapbooking so popular these days? 5 When you make a scrapbook, you can pass the stories to your children and your grandchildren. In the U.S. alone there are 2,500 stores that sell paper and other supplies for scrapbooking. You can find scrapbooking websites from other countries. We all have boxes of pictures, and we all want to keep those precious memories. That’s the real meaning of scrapbooking: sharing your family and your story. A．It’s like a personal history. B．Do you know other people who make scrapbooks? C．Do you enjoy creating with others at social gatherings? D．However, it can be a rather expensive hobby to maintain. E．Today, scrapbooking is also a verb and a popular new hobby. F．I made my first scrapbook ten years ago, when my father died. G．People want to preserve their family history, and display it to other people. Breaking Age Bias in the Workplace Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, yet it is often overlooked. While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. 1 We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around “out with the old, in with the new” must end. Experience cannot be found on Google. A person’s age does not reduce their ability to work hard or make valuable contributions to an organization or society. Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as “They can’t learn.” They lack creativity.” They are less productive than younger employees.” and “They can’t work overtime.” are all based on false premises. 2 In the past, age was admired and honored. 3 This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. Being over 40 is only acceptable in certain senior roles — for example; in management and politics, where people trust those with decades of experience. Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. 4 Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. 5 After all, we all grow old eventually. A．Experience is a treasure gained only through time. B．Thus, we should value age instead of seeing it as a weakness. C．Ageism is thus more hidden than other kinds of discrimination. D．Today, however, it is often viewed with disrespect. E．And limited chances make their professional lives unpromising. F．Such wrong ideas ignore the real value of older workers. G．This disregard worsens due to society’s wrong focus on youth. Many of us have, at times, failed to pursue a goal. We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead. 1 Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year. 2 I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument. The feeling that we don’t have enough hours has become such an integral part of our lives that we almost take it for granted to never feel like we have enough time. New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit failure. 3 This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation. In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal. 4 This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time. How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future. 5 We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals. A．Learning to manage our time effectively is the key to pursuing goals. B．One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers. C．This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later. D．Hence, we must learn to prioritize our goals more effectively over other activities. E．One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time. F．Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon. G．Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time. Many people think recycling is the only way to deal with waste, but there’s another option called upcycling. Both approaches reduce trash and protect our planet. 1 The recycling process often involves breaking items down into their basic raw materials. Upcycling keeps much of an item’s original form and then adds more value. Below is a quick, five-step plan that shows how a little imagination can give items a second life. 2 Begin by looking around your home for objects that are no longer in use. This might be clothing, jars, or boxes. Focus on anything that can be saved from the trash. Keep an open mind. Sometimes, an item’s original form may spark an idea you never expected. Find a Creative Way to Repurpose Next, think about what you want to make. This is a fun step to do. 3 By picturing the new life your objects could have, you might inspire yourself to try fresh designs. Gather Additional Materials Most projects need a few additional materials. You might need paint, thread, glue, or small hardware. 4 Pick colors, patterns, or accessories that make your creation stand out. This way, you add personal flair to something that was once just a pile of old materials. Dive into the Creative Process Now it’s time to get hands-on. Cut, sew, paint, or glue your pieces into place. The creative process doesn’t have to be perfect. 5 If you make a mistake, that’s okay — learning from slip-ups often leads to even better ideas. Celebrate the Finished Product After you’re done, take a moment to admire your finished product. You’ve saved an item from the landfill and given it a new function. Enjoy your project’s second life, whether it’s a brand-new decor piece, a wearable item, or a practical household tool. Your creative effort shows how upcycling can breathe fresh energy into everyday objects and help the planet at the same time. A．Identify old materials. B．Spark an idea from the trash. C．Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. D．Shopping for these items can be almost as fun as the project itself. E．Yet, they work in different ways and create different finished products. F．Feel free to test different methods until you achieve the look you want. G．Sketch your ideas or search online for simple examples of upcycled art. Community Clean-up Day is more than just a one-day event. It brings neighbors together to improve their living environment and build stronger relationships. From picking up litter in the park to brushing off graffiti on community walls, every small task becomes a bridge connecting people who might otherwise pass each other without a word. 1 First, organizing such an event requires careful planning. Local leaders or volunteers typically begin by selecting a date suitable for most people — often a weekend — to boost participation. 2 Local businesses may also be reached out to for supplies like gloves, trash bags, and cleaning tools, ensuring that everyone has the resources needed to contribute effectively. On the day of the event, participants gather at a central location, such as a park or community center. 3 After that, they are divided into groups to cover different areas — parks or streets. Working side by side, people chat about their lives, share stories, and get to know each other better while picking up litter and removing graffiti, turning a chore into a chance for connection. 4 Many find that seeing the immediate results of their efforts — cleaner streets, brighter public spaces, and a neighborhood that feels renewed — gives them a deep sense of pride. Kids who take part learn firsthand the importance of responsibility and caring for their surroundings, lessons that stay with them long after the day ends. Community Clean-up Day doesn’t end when the trash is collected. 5 It encourages ongoing efforts to keep the community clean, such as starting recycling programs or planting trees. In the end, it’s not just about a cleaner neighborhood, but a happier and more connected one. A．There organizers review the day’s goals and safety tips. B．Then posters are put up and emails sent out to spread the word. C．Some even plot ahead to make the day more competitive. D．Participants often feel a sense of achievement after the work. E．The success of the event depends on the number of volunteers. F．These shared efforts, though simple, promote a sense of belonging. G．It reminds everyone that maintaining a clean environment is a group effort. How to Prepare an Effective Class Presentation Class presentations are a common way to show your learning, but many students feel nervous or end up with disorganized content. 1 Some rush to finish without explaining key points clearly; others fill their slides with too much text, making the audience lose focus. 2 With the right steps, you can turn a stressful task into a smooth and successful experience. Here’s how to start: First, clarify your presentation goal. 3 Are you supposed to explain a historical event, share a science experiment result, or argue for a certain opinion? Knowing this helps you stay focused—you won’t waste time on unrelated details. For example, if your goal is to explain a math formula, your content should center on “how it works” and “when to use it,” not random math facts. Next, organize your content logically. 4 A good structure usually includes three parts: an opening (to grab attention, like a question or a short story), a main body (to present key points with examples), and a closing (to summarize and invite questions). Avoid jumping between ideas — this confuses your audience. Finally, practice until you feel confident. 5 You can record yourself to check your speed (not too fast!) and body language (smile and make eye contact). If you forget a part, don’t panic — have a small note card with key points to remind you. Practicing also helps you get used to speaking in front of others, reducing nervousness. Preparing a good presentation takes time, but it’s worth it. Not only will you get better grades, but you’ll also build skills that help with future projects or jobs. A．Ask yourself: What do I want the audience to learn from my presentation? B．The first thing to do is to stop worrying about making mistakes — everyone makes them. C．However, many students struggle with two main problems: lack of focus and poor structure. D．Instead of choosing a complex topic to impress others, pick one you can explain thoroughly. E．To fix these issues, you don’t need to be a “natural speaker” — you just need a clear plan. F．Even 10 minutes of daily practice can make your delivery more natural and confident. G．A well-organized presentation is easier for the audience to follow and for you to present. How to Extend Your Smartphone Battery Life Smartphone batteries naturally get worse over time, but good daily habits can slow this process and lengthen daily usage. Small, regular changes — from charging routines to daily use — effectively protect battery health. Below are four practical ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan. Stick to moderate charging ranges Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles. 1 , which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging. Keep the battery cool 2 . Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly. 3 Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast. Choose suitable charging devices Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current. 4 , so reserve it for emergencies. Wireless charging is gentler but still warms the device — ensure good cooling and avoid using the phone while charging wirelessly. By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure. 5 . A．Adjust daily usage habits B．Ignore background app refresh C．Heat is a battery’s worst enemy D．You’d better preserve your battery health E．Turn on your phone’s battery enhancement tool F．Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat G．Little daily efforts extend your phone’s charging ability and reliability 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题08 七选五15篇 (浙江专用) 【题型知识点细目表】 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 方法/策略,社交礼仪及规则 2 适中 网课,学习 3 较易 方法/策略 4 适中 冲突与和解,方法/策略 5 适中 社会问题与社会现象,方法/策略 6 适中 情绪,方法/策略 7 适中 方法/策略,购物选择 8 适中 方法/策略,习惯养成教育 9 适中 爱好,闲暇活动 10 适中 社会问题与社会现象 11 较易 方法/策略 12 适中 环境保护,方法/策略 13 适中 环境保护,公益活动（组织机构） 14 适中 方法/策略 15 适中 方法/策略,信息技术 【高考典例】 One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. 1 There’s no value in delivering any kind of communication, whether written, spoken, formal, or informal, if the message doesn’t come across clearly. Being clear and brief — while maintaining interest and including everything your listeners need to know — is a high-level communication skill. Here are some tips worth following in order to communicate more effectively. Keep your audience in mind. Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests. 2 This will engage their desire to understand and interact with the information. Don’t use ten words when one will do. Even the most engaged and committed audience will eventually get bored. Keeping your message simple and clear will make it easier for people to understand. 3 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 4 If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others. Allow them to lead discussions and meetings to develop their communication skills. Consider the best method to deliver your message. If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions. 5       Building effective communication skills takes time, but the effects are worth the effort. A．Be patient. B．Get the audience involved. C．The best messages are often simple. D．Speak directly to what matters to them. E．You may be surprised by what your listeners offer. F．It will also give them a handy record to refer back to. G．As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．G 4．B 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些更有效地进行沟通的技巧。 1．上文“One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much.(沟通中最常见的错误之一就是试图做得太多)”指出“做得太多”是沟通中易犯的错误，C选项“The best messages are often simple.(最好的信息往往是简单的)”承接上文，明确正确沟通方法，即不要“做得太多”，要避免复杂，追求简单，句中“simple”与上文“too much”形成对比。故选C项。 2．上文“Your audience will naturally be more interested and engaged when you tailor your communications to their interests.(当你根据受众的兴趣来调整你的沟通内容时，他们自然会更感兴趣、更投入)”强调要迎合受众兴趣，D选项“Speak directly to what matters to them.(直接谈论对他们重要的事情)”进一步说明了具体做法，即直接针对受众关心的事情进行交流，与上文逻辑一致。故选D项。 3．下文“However, they’re hearing it for the first time.(然而，他们是第一次听到这些)”与设空句之间是转折关系。G选项“As the speaker, you already know what you’re going to say.(作为演讲者，你已经知道你要说什么了)”与下文构成转折，演讲者自己熟悉内容，但听众是初次接触，同时，句中“what you’re going to say”与下文中指示代词“it”构成指代关系，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 4．下文“If you’ve ever worked as an instructor, manager, trainer or coach, you’ll know that there are few better ways to learn new information than to teach it. Ask the audience to contribute their ideas or to take a role in explaining new concepts and policies to others.(如果你曾经当过导师、经理、培训师或教练，你就会知道，没有比教别人更好的学习新信息的方法了。让听众贡献他们的想法，或者让他们扮演向他人解释新概念和政策的角色)”建议让受众参与其中，B选项“Get the audience involved.(让受众参与进来)”能概括这部分内容，适合作段首小标题。故选B项。 5．上文“If the information you’re communicating isn’t urgent, consider sending an email. Written communication will give your audience more time to review it, think it over, and follow up with questions.(如果你传达的信息不紧急，考虑发电子邮件。书面沟通会给你的受众更多时间来复习、思考，并跟进提问)”说明了发邮件这种书面沟通的好处，F选项“It will also give them a handy record to refer back to.(它还会给他们提供一个方便查阅的记录)”进一步补充了发邮件的另一个好处，与上文逻辑紧密。故选F项。 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 1 But are all online courses created equal? How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you? 2 We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses. The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 3 “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep you going. The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 4 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards. 5 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts. A．But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines. B．Your motivation should be your main concern. C．Do you know that online courses are also part of your education? D．Professor Alex Davidson teaches the same course in person and online. E．The chief complaint about online courses is that they lack human interaction. F．If you take an online course, what can you do to ensure the best possible grade? G．A survey found that 29 percent of college students registered for online courses. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．D 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在线学习的注意事项。 1．由上文“In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience.

Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are that the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．C 4．E 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。 1．根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车，尤其是卧铺，很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。 2．根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知，好的旅行社帮你预定，不仅可以找到打折的票，还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应，因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。 3．根据上文“When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.(当你乘坐火车时，你不会免费获得一条毯子，即使你的旅行是过夜的。)”以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. (特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。 4．根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。 5．根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度，用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间，用不同的方式打发时间对应，符合语境。故选A项。 【热点话题练习】 I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team. Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. 1 But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long. Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. 2 But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. 3 That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. 4 That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. Great teams are not on the same page all the time. 5 So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. A．We can still agree to disagree. B．But great teams know how to get there. C．The best relationships take time and effort. D．It is always complex and often requires multiple steps. E．Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution. F．People on a team often work together towards a common goal. G．That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．E 4．A 5．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章作者围绕“团队建设”这一主题，提出了核心观点——优秀团队的标志并非是没有冲突，而是具备解决冲突的能力。 1．上文“Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. (这是我最喜欢的一个团队理念：优秀团队的标志并非是没有冲突，而是具备解决冲突的能力。)”提出了关于优秀团队与冲突关系的核心观点，下文“But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. (但相比其他任何因素，我们持续解决冲突的能力对团队的影响都更大。)”强调了解决冲突能力的重要性。G项“这是因为即使是最优秀的团队也不可避免地会产生冲突。”承上启下，“this”指代上文“优秀团队需具备解决冲突能力”的观点，解释了该观点的原因——冲突无法避免，从而自然衔接下文对“解决冲突能力”重要性的论述，逻辑连贯。故选G。 2．上文“Now, the ‘how’ is the hardest part of conflict resolution. (如今，如何解决冲突是冲突处理中最难的部分。)”点明了冲突解决的难点在于具体方法，下文“But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. (但以我的经验来看，持续解决冲突的核心在于倾听和尊重。)”通过转折给出了冲突解决的关键要素。D项“它往往很复杂，通常需要多个步骤。”承接上文，“it”指代“conflict resolution”，进一步说明冲突解决的难度——复杂且步骤多，为下文转折引出核心解决方法做铺垫，符合语境。故选D。 3．上文“When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. (当我们彼此倾听、尊重对立的视角时，就能进行理性的对话。)”指出了倾听和尊重能带来理性对话的结果，E项“那么我们就有可能朝着最终解决冲突的方向迈进。”承接上文，“then”承接前文“进行理性对话”的前提，说明该前提能推动冲突走向解决，形成逻辑上的递进，贴合段落关于冲突解决的论述。故选E。 4．上文“That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. (倾听并尊重他人的观点，并不意味着我们必须始终达成一致。)”表明了“倾听尊重”与“意见一致”的关系，下文“That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. (这没关系。但简单的倾听技巧和尊重的表现，是持续且理性解决冲突的核心。)”说明意见不一致也不影响冲突解决。A项“我们仍然可以求同存异。”承接上文，对“不必始终达成一致”进行具体阐释，即可以保留不同意见，同时衔接下文“这没关系”的表述，逻辑通顺。故选A。 5．上文“Great teams are not on the same page all the time. (优秀的团队并非始终意见一致。)”指出优秀团队也会存在分歧，下文“So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. (因此，当你试图打造一支优秀团队，或者你认为自己已经拥有一支优秀团队并想保持其优秀时，花些时间思考如何处理团队意见不一致的艰难时刻。)”强调了处理分歧的重要性。B项“但优秀的团队知道如何达成共识。”承接上文，通过“but”转折，在承认团队会有分歧的基础上，点明优秀团队的核心能力——懂得如何达成共识，为下文提出“处理分歧”的建议做铺垫，符合文章主旨。故选B。 A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food. 1 Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. 2 If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying. With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. 3 This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys. 4 When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices. All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. 5 A．The idea behind this approach is simple. B．Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket. C．The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online. D．This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice. E．People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping. F．As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products. G．That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd. 【答案】1．B 2．G 3．D 4．C 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出超市购物已成为心理操纵。通过香味、群体影响和科技手段(如显示购买人数)，超市诱导顾客消费。这种策略在线上平台也普遍存在，表明消费者常受隐性心理暗示影响而非理性决策。 1．上文提到“For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.(例如，新鲜出炉的面包的香味会让顾客感到饥饿，并下意识地增加他们购买食物的欲望。)”，这说明了面包香味对顾客购买行为的影响。B选项“Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.(因此，这鼓励他们把更多的食物放进购物篮。)”承接上文，进一步说明了面包香味如何具体影响顾客的购买行为，即让他们购买更多的食物，符合题意。故选B。 2．上文提到“Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence.(现在研究人员正在研究人们购买决策中受影响的方式如何用群体智能来解释。)”，这引出了群体智能这一概念。G选项“That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.(也就是说，蜜蜂或任何社会性动物，包括人类，在群体中的行为方式。)”对群体智能进行了具体解释，即像蜜蜂或人类这样的社会性动物在群体中的行为方式，符合题意。故选G。 3．上文提到“As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product.(当顾客走过货架时，一个小屏幕可能会告诉他们有多少其他顾客选择了某种产品。)”，这说明了超市通过提供实时购买信息来影响顾客的购买决策。D选项“This method reassures shoppers that they are making the‘right’ choice.(这种方法让顾客确信他们正在做出“正确”的选择。)”承接上文，进一步说明了这种实时购买信息如何影响顾客的心理，即让他们觉得自己做出了正确的选择，从而增加购买的可能性，符合题意。故选D。 4．下文提到“When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags.(当顾客在家时，他们仍然倾向于在网上跟随大众。像亚马逊这样的网站会显示排名、推荐和“最常购买”标签。)”，这说明了在线购物平台也运用了类似的心理学策略来影响顾客的购买决策。C选项“The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.(同样的心理学策略也适用于在线平台。)”引出了下文，说明在线购物平台和实体超市在影响顾客购买决策方面采用了相似的策略，符合题意。故选C。 5．上文提到“All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making.(所有这些策略都表明，现代消费者往往受到微妙心理暗示的引导，而不是理性决策。)”，这总结了前文关于超市和在线购物平台如何运用心理学策略影响顾客购买决策的内容。E选项“People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.(人们可能没有注意到，但他们在购物时不断受到引导。)”承接上文，进一步强调了顾客在购物过程中往往受到各种心理暗示的引导，而自己可能并未察觉，符合题意。故选E。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 1 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 2 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 3 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 4 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished. 5 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A．Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B．So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn? C．Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D．Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. E．Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait? F．They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer. G．This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．G 4．C 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点，指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”（注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态）困扰，随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。 1．上文“According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing ‘popcorn (爆米花) brain’, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. (根据伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究，49%的英国公众正经历“爆米花大脑”，这种精神状态的特点是注意力分散、思绪飘忽。)”定义了“爆米花大脑”并说明其高发率，下文“In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. (针对这些发现，心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙给出了她的顶级建议。)”引出解决建议。F项“他们感觉自己的注意力不太集中，深度思考也更少见了。”承接上文，“they”指代前文“49% of the UK public”，“注意力不太集中”“深度思考少见”是对“注意力分散、思绪飘忽”的进一步阐释，让读者更清晰理解“爆米花大脑”的表现，衔接自然。故选F。 2．上文“Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to-dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. (采用思维导图法。为了管理分心的大脑，先把所有事情都写下来，比如约会、担忧和待办事项，一开始不用整理。一旦所有事情都写在纸上，就把它们归类到工作、情感健康等生活领域。)”详细介绍了思维导图法的前两个步骤——记录和归类，下文“This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate. (这能建立秩序，让你的大脑可以集中注意力。)”说明该方法的效果。E项“然后问问自己：现在什么重要，什么可以等一等？”作为思维导图法的第三步，承接前文的“记录和归类”流程，通过设问筛选优先级，进而实现下文“建立秩序、集中注意力”的效果，逻辑连贯。故选E。 3．上文“Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. (每次你感觉思绪飘忽时，给自己三秒钟——吸气，说出你的感受，然后重新集中注意力。)”介绍了思绪回归训练的具体操作，下文“By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime. (通过这样做，当你的大脑过度运转时，你可能会降温。)”说明该训练的作用。G项“这种练习能让你慢下来，管理情绪。”解释了该训练的直接效果，“this practice”指代上文的三秒训练法，“慢下来”对应“吸气”的动作，“管理情绪”对应“说出你的感受”，且为下文“大脑降温”的深层效果做铺垫。故选G。 4．上文“Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. (减少科技产品使用也是日常生活中回归正轨的关键。完全脱离数字产品是不现实的。)”提出减少科技使用的建议并指出完全脱离不现实，下文“Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. (然后可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励。)”说明后续的奖励机制。C项“相反，完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”，给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕，“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配，构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式，逻辑清晰。故选C。 5．下文“At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. (一开始，你可能会感到无聊，因为“爆米花大脑”喜欢一直“忙忙碌碌”才觉得安全。蒂娜建议：“不带音乐散步，或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着，观察自己的思绪。让你的大脑呼吸。”)”具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句，精准概括下文内容，“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。 How to Avoid Over-consumption: Expert Tips to Beat Shopping Traps Black Friday and holiday sales, now a global phenomenon, are designed to trigger impulsive (冲动的) overspending by taking advantage of human psychology. Consumer experts warn that these events use methods like urgency and pleasure-driven brain responses to cloud judgment — but simple strategies can help shoppers stay in control. Make a needs-based list and stick to it. 1 Start by drafting a strict list of necessary items, not wants. Note their pre-sale prices: many “discounts” raise costs first, so comparing historical prices reveals true bargains. Even small, unplanned buys can add up to significant costs over time. This list acts as a guide, reducing the urge to spend too much on unplanned purchases. 2 When attracted by a non-list item, stop for a second. Step away from the screen or take a 10-minute walk in-store, have a coffee, and let the initial excitement driven by excitement hormones (荷尔蒙) fade. 3 Research shows urgency-fueled desires weaken quickly once tension eases. Avoid high-pressure sale environments. It’s easy to get trapped in the excitement of limited-time offers. Sale settings crowded stores, flash-sale pop-ups increase fear of missing out and social pressure. If you struggle with overspending, skip these environments entirely. Shopping outside peak sale times removes the hype (炒作) that ruins sensible choices. 4 Check for regret before making a purchase. Remember: impulsive purchases often lead to regret. Studies show sale buyers feel more regret than regular shoppers, and repeated overspending can harm long-term financial well-being. 5 If the answer is “no”, walk away. By combining planning, patience, and self-awareness, shoppers can navigate sales season wisely — prioritizing needs over impulses while protecting their wallets. A．Relax and ignore appealing offers. B．Pause and let yourself calm down. C．Avoiding sale pages online also works. D．Do you often feel regret after overspending? E．Will I still value this item a few months from now? F．This cooling-off period often holds back the impulse to buy. G．This simple step helps separate genuine needs from temporary wants. 【答案】1．G 2．B 3．F 4．C 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助消费者避免冲动消费，实现理性购物的一些具体策略。 1．本段标题为“Make a needs-based list and stick to it. (列一个需求清单并坚持执行。)”，后文“Start by drafting a strict list of necessary items, not wants. (从起草一份严格的必要物品清单开始，而不是想要的。)”指出清单需区分必要和想要，因此G项“This simple step helps separate genuine needs from temporary wants. (这一简单步骤能帮助区分真实需求和临时欲望。)”符合语境，点明列清单的作用，呼应标题，引出后文的具体做法。故选G。 2．后文“When attracted by a non-list item, stop for a second. Step away from the screen or take a 10-minute walk in-store, have a coffee, and let the initial excitement driven by excitement hormones (荷尔蒙) fade. (当被清单外的物品吸引时，停下来一秒钟。离开屏幕，或者在商店里散步10分钟，喝杯咖啡，让最初由兴奋激素驱动的兴奋消退。)”给出被非清单商品吸引时，暂停行动的具体方法，空处是段落标题，应总的建议暂停以保持冷静，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此B项“Pause and let yourself calm down.

(离开屏幕，或者在商店里散步10分钟，喝杯咖啡，让最初由兴奋激素驱动的兴奋消退。)”描述暂停后兴奋感消退，后文“Research shows urgency-fueled desires weaken quickly once tension eases. (研究表明，一旦紧张缓解，由紧迫感引发的欲望会迅速减弱。)”用研究解释欲望减弱的原因，因此F项“This cooling-off period often holds back the impulse to buy. (这段冷静期通常会抑制购买冲动。)”符合语境，指出冷静期的作用，承前启后。故选F。 4．前文“If you struggle with overspending, skip these environments entirely. Shopping outside peak sale times removes the hype (炒作) that ruins sensible choices. (如果你挣扎于过度消费，完全跳过这些环境。在销售旺季之外购物，可以避免那些破坏明智选择的炒作。)”建议避开线下的促销场景，因此C项“Avoiding sale pages online also works. (避开网上的促销页面同样有效。)”符合语境，建议避开线上的促销页面，和前文是并列关系。故选C。 5．前文“Remember: impulsive purchases often lead to regret. Studies show sale buyers feel more regret than regular shoppers, and repeated overspending can harm long-term financial well-being. (记住：冲动购物往往会导致后悔。研究表明，购买打折商品的人比普通消费者更后悔，反复的过度消费会损害长期的财务状况。)”指出冲动消费会后悔，以及长期过度消费的损害，后文“If the answer is “no”, walk away. (如果答案是“不”，那就走开。)”给出问题的答案及相应做法，因此E项“Will I still value this item a few months from now? (几个月后我还会重视这件物品吗？)”符合语境，自问价值持续性，承前启后。故选E。 Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students. Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments. 1 It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management. 2 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 3 If anxiety is the main reason, practicing relaxation techniques before starting work may be helpful. For those troubled by perfectionism, setting “good enough” standards and focusing on progress rather than perfection can encourage earlier engagement. Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints. 4 5 For instance, breaking a large project into small steps and setting deadlines for each part can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Creating a tidy workspace and turning off social media notifications also minimize distractions. Overcoming procrastination is a gradual process that requires patience and consistent practice of these strategies. By starting small and celebrating each step of progress, students can gradually build motivation, replace old habits with more productive ones, and ultimately regain a sense of control and accomplishment in their academic and personal lives. A．This habit may arise from multiple psychological factors. B．Different causes of procrastination require specific responses. C．Learning to prioritize tasks is a key step towards self- discipline. D．Some other simple methods can make it easier for putters- off as well. E．Immediate action is crucial since such situations tend to worsen gradually. F．Therefore, it is vital to seek professional help once procrastination is identified. G．Family members may also encourage students by sharing their own experiences. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．B 4．G 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学生拖延症的成因、影响及克服策略，强调通过理解原因、制定计划、减少干扰等方法逐步改善拖延习惯。 1．由上文“Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students.

What is scrapbooking, exactly? When I make a scrapbook page, I take a few of my family photos and put them into a “layout”—a page that uses fancy paper, stickers, drawings, and words to show the theme. When you make a scrapbook, you put words and pictures together to show the important times in your life. 2 How did you get started? When I was a child, I loved looking at and remembering things like movie tickets and vacation postcards. 3 When I looked through his desk, I found the most wonderful things—like my parents’ anniversary cards, and photos from his Army days. I couldn’t throw away anything, so I made two scrapbooks, for my brother and me. 4 Oh, yes! We call ourselves “scrappers,” and we love to have big parties where we work on our scrapbooks. We bring our scissors and papers and our boxes of photos. It’s a time for enjoyment, when friends show pictures and tell stories about our families, and our lives. At the same time, we create a book to keep those memories. Why is scrapbooking so popular these days? 5 When you make a scrapbook, you can pass the stories to your children and your grandchildren. In the U.S. alone there are 2,500 stores that sell paper and other supplies for scrapbooking. You can find scrapbooking websites from other countries. We all have boxes of pictures, and we all want to keep those precious memories. That’s the real meaning of scrapbooking: sharing your family and your story. A．It’s like a personal history. B．Do you know other people who make scrapbooks? C．Do you enjoy creating with others at social gatherings? D．However, it can be a rather expensive hobby to maintain. E．Today, scrapbooking is also a verb and a popular new hobby. F．I made my first scrapbook ten years ago, when my father died. G．People want to preserve their family history, and display it to other people. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．F 4．B 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍剪贴簿的制作。文章先解释了剪贴簿的定义，接着介绍了剪贴簿制作的内容、作者如何开始制作剪贴簿、剪贴簿爱好者的聚会情况，最后说明了剪贴簿制作如今受欢迎的原因。 1．上文“The dictionary defines a scrapbook as ‘an empty book for collecting and preserving photographs, newspaper articles, and other papers.’(字典对剪贴簿的定义是‘一本用来收集和保存照片、报纸文章和其他纸张的空白书’。)”介绍了剪贴簿的定义；E选项“Today, scrapbooking is also a verb and a popular new hobby.(如今，剪贴簿制作也成了一个动词和一种受欢迎的新爱好。)”进一步说明了剪贴簿现在不仅是一个名词，还成为了一种流行的爱好，与上文关于剪贴簿的定义相衔接，同时引出了下文对剪贴簿制作这一爱好的详细介绍，符合题意。故选E。 2．上文“When you make a scrapbook, you put words and pictures together to show the important times in your life.(当你制作剪贴簿时，你把文字和图片放在一起，展示你生命中的重要时刻。)”说明了制作剪贴簿的内容；A选项“It’s like a personal history.(这就像一部个人历史。)”将制作剪贴簿比作记录个人历史，形象地说明了剪贴簿的意义，即记录和展示个人生命中的重要时刻，符合题意。故选A。 3．上文“When I was a child, I loved looking at and remembering things like movie tickets and vacation postcards.(当我还是个孩子的时候，我喜欢看和记住像电影票和度假明信片这样的东西。)”讲述了作者小时候喜欢收集和记住一些物品；下文“When I looked through his desk, I found the most wonderful things—like my parents’ anniversary cards, and photos from his Army days.(当我翻看他的书桌时，我发现了最美好的东西——比如我父母的周年纪念卡，还有他当兵时的照片。)”提到了作者翻看某人的书桌并发现了美好的东西；F选项“I made my first scrapbook ten years ago, when my father died.(十年前，我父亲去世时，我制作了我的第一本剪贴簿。)”说明了作者制作第一本剪贴簿的背景，即父亲去世，同时与下文翻看父亲书桌的情节相呼应，符合题意。故选F。 4．下文“Oh, yes!

While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. 1 We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around “out with the old, in with the new” must end. Experience cannot be found on Google. A person’s age does not reduce their ability to work hard or make valuable contributions to an organization or society. Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as “They can’t learn.” They lack creativity.” They are less productive than younger employees.” and “They can’t work overtime.” are all based on false premises. 2 In the past, age was admired and honored. 3 This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. Being over 40 is only acceptable in certain senior roles — for example; in management and politics, where people trust those with decades of experience. Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. 4 Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. 5 After all, we all grow old eventually. A．Experience is a treasure gained only through time. B．Thus, we should value age instead of seeing it as a weakness. C．Ageism is thus more hidden than other kinds of discrimination. D．Today, however, it is often viewed with disrespect. E．And limited chances make their professional lives unpromising. F．Such wrong ideas ignore the real value of older workers. G．This disregard worsens due to society’s wrong focus on youth. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．D 4．E 5．B 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章指出职场年龄偏见是一个常被忽视的残酷现实，对比了过去与现在社会对年龄态度的转变，揭示了年龄偏见带来的危害，最后呼吁终结年龄歧视，重视年龄与经验的价值。 1．上文“Ageism in the workplace is a harsh reality, yet it is often overlooked. While people voice strong objections to other forms of discrimination like sexism and racism, they turn a blind eye to ageism and sweep it under the carpet. (职场年龄偏见是一个残酷的现实，但它往往被忽视。人们会强烈反对性别歧视、种族歧视等其他歧视形式，却对年龄歧视视而不见、掩盖回避。)”强调了年龄歧视的隐蔽性，下文“We live in a youth-centered society, and the hype around ‘out with the old, in with the new’ must end. (我们生活在一个以年轻为中心的社会，这种‘喜新厌旧’的炒作必须停止。)”指出当下社会以年轻为导向的特点。G项“这种忽视因社会对年轻的错误关注而愈发严重。”承上启下，“this disregard”指代上文的“turn a blind eye to ageism”、“society’s wrong focus on youth”衔接下文的“youth-centered society”，逻辑连贯。故选G。 2．上文“Reaching 35+ does not mean someone is incompetent and should be declined. Myths such as ‘They can’t learn.’ They lack creativity.’ They are less productive than younger employees.’ and ‘They can’t work overtime.’ are all based on false premises. (年过35岁并不意味着一个人能力不足、应该被拒之门外。诸如‘他们学不会’‘他们缺乏创造力’‘他们比年轻员工效率低’‘他们不能加班’之类的荒诞说法，都是基于错误的前提。)”列举了针对大龄职场人士的错误看法，F项“这些错误的观点忽视了年长员工的真正价值。”承接上文，“such wrong ideas”指代上文的各类荒诞说法，点明这些观点的危害，贴合段落反对年龄偏见的核心逻辑。故选F。 3．上文“In the past, age was admired and honored. (在过去，年龄是受人敬仰和尊重的。)”讲述了过去社会对年龄的正面态度，下文“This shift in attitude toward age hurts many career paths. (这种对年龄态度的转变伤害了很多人的职业发展。)”指出态度转变带来的负面影响，因此空格处需明确体现“过去与现在的态度差异”。D项“然而如今，它却常被不尊重。”承接上文，“however”表转折，清晰区分“过去受敬仰”与“现在受轻视”的态度差异，直接支撑下文的“shift in attitude（态度转变）”。故选D。 4．上文“Many people over 40 are stuck in their current jobs because opportunities are limited. (许多40岁以上的人因为机会有限而被困在现有的工作岗位上。)”点明了大龄职场人士面临的机会困境，下文“Undoubtedly, it will give rise to serious social issues sooner or later. (毫无疑问，这迟早会引发严重的社会问题。)”指出这种困境的潜在危害。E项“而有限的机会让他们的职业生涯前景黯淡。”承接上文，“limited chances”与上文的“opportunities are limited”直接呼应，进一步说明机会受限的负面影响，同时衔接下文的社会问题，逻辑通顺。故选E。 5．上文“So, it’s high time to end age-based discrimination. We should not fear or feel embarrassed to state our age. Age brings wisdom, experience, knowledge, resilience, and more. Age and experience deserve rewards, not bias. (因此，是时候终结基于年龄的歧视了。我们不必害怕或羞于说出自己的年龄。年龄带来了智慧、经验、知识、韧性等等。年龄和经验值得获得回报，而非偏见。)”呼吁重视年龄的价值，反对年龄歧视，下文“After all, we all grow old eventually. (毕竟，我们每个人最终都会变老。)”从共性角度强化观点。B项“因此，我们应该重视年龄，而非将其视为弱点。”承接上文，“thus”体现因果逻辑，总结重视年龄价值的观点，同时呼应下文“人人都会变老”的表述，符合文章主旨。故选B。 Many of us have, at times, failed to pursue a goal. We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead. 1 Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year. 2 I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument. The feeling that we don’t have enough hours has become such an integral part of our lives that we almost take it for granted to never feel like we have enough time. New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit failure. 3 This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation. In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal. 4 This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time. How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future. 5 We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals. A．Learning to manage our time effectively is the key to pursuing goals. B．One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers. C．This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later. D．Hence, we must learn to prioritize our goals more effectively over other activities. E．One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time. F．Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon. G．Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．G 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过改变语言方式，从追求目标失败中恢复过来，并重新获得动力。 1．由上文“We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead.(我们想塑形，加入健身房，但很快就停止了，最终晚上只能坐在沙发上)”及下文“Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year.(这种追求目标的失败很常见——我们制定新年计划，但在新年刚过几周就承认失败)”可知，上文描述了人们追求目标失败的一个具体例子，下文则指出这种失败很常见，并给出了另一个例子（制定新年计划但很快放弃）。本空应继续列举类似的例子，以进一步说明追求目标失败的普遍性。F选项“Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon.(或者我们买食材来做更好的食物，但很快又回到了叫外卖的习惯)”与上文例子并列，共同说明追求目标失败的常见性，符合语境。故选F。 2．由下文“I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument.(我在自己的研究中发现，人们认为时间是追求最常追求的目标的关键因素，比如锻炼、学习语言或乐器)”可知，下文提到了时间在追求目标中的重要性，本空应介绍时间与目标的关系。E选项“One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time.(我们未能实现目标的最常见原因之一是缺乏时间)”直接点明了时间不足是追求目标失败的常见原因，与下文内容紧密相连，符合语境。故选E。 3．由上文“New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get  back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit  failure.(然而，新的研究表明，有一个简单的技巧可以让我们重新获得一些控制权，并从追求目标的失败中恢复过来)”及下文“This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation.(这种简单的语言转变让我们觉得我们处理时间不足的方式是一种选择，并且我们可以在未来改变我们的方法并重新获得动力)”可知，上文提到了有一个简单的技巧可以帮助我们从追求目标的失败中恢复过来，下文则解释了这个技巧的具体内容，即改变语言方式。本空应具体说明这个技巧是什么。G选项“Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time.(我们不说我们没有时间，而是说我们没有腾出时间)”直接给出了改变语言方式的具体建议，与下文内容紧密相连，符合语境。故选G。 4．由上文“In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal.(在一项有300名线上参与者的研究中，Luis Abreu发现：那些被要求用“没腾出时间”来表述目标追求失败的人，更有动力重新朝着自己的目标努力)”及下文“This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time.(这种有趣的效果发生是因为当人们谈论腾出时间，甚至没有腾出时间时，他们会觉得自己更能掌控时间)”可知，上文描述了研究的结果，即改变语言方式可以增加人们重新追求目标的动力，下文则解释了这一结果的原因。本空应进一步补充研究结果。C选项“This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later.(这种好处甚至持续存在，因为一周后人们报告了更强的决心)”说明了改变语言方式带来的好处是持续的，能承上启下，符合语境。故选C。 5．由上文“How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future.(我们说话的方式不仅对他人有强大的影响，甚至对我们自己也有。当我们失败时，由我们来告诉自己发生了什么，以及我们未来如何可以做得更好)”及下文“We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals.(因此，我们可以找到动力腾出时间去追求我们重要的目标)”可知，上文提到了我们说话的方式对自己有影响，并鼓励我们在失败时告诉自己未来可以做得更好，下文则指出这样做可以让我们找到追求重要目标的动力。本空应说明如何做到这一点，即如何通过改变语言方式来影响自己。B选项“One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers.(一个有帮助的方法是，以一种让我们成为时间主动管理者的方式来谈论时间)”给出了具体的建议，即改变谈论时间的方式，让自己成为时间的主动管理者，能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 Many people think recycling is the only way to deal with waste, but there’s another option called upcycling. Both approaches reduce trash and protect our planet. 1 The recycling process often involves breaking items down into their basic raw materials. Upcycling keeps much of an item’s original form and then adds more value. Below is a quick, five-step plan that shows how a little imagination can give items a second life. 2 Begin by looking around your home for objects that are no longer in use. This might be clothing, jars, or boxes. Focus on anything that can be saved from the trash. Keep an open mind. Sometimes, an item’s original form may spark an idea you never expected. Find a Creative Way to Repurpose Next, think about what you want to make. This is a fun step to do. 3 By picturing the new life your objects could have, you might inspire yourself to try fresh designs. Gather Additional Materials Most projects need a few additional materials. You might need paint, thread, glue, or small hardware. 4 Pick colors, patterns, or accessories that make your creation stand out. This way, you add personal flair to something that was once just a pile of old materials. Dive into the Creative Process Now it’s time to get hands-on. Cut, sew, paint, or glue your pieces into place. The creative process doesn’t have to be perfect. 5 If you make a mistake, that’s okay — learning from slip-ups often leads to even better ideas. Celebrate the Finished Product After you’re done, take a moment to admire your finished product. You’ve saved an item from the landfill and given it a new function. Enjoy your project’s second life, whether it’s a brand-new decor piece, a wearable item, or a practical household tool. Your creative effort shows how upcycling can breathe fresh energy into everyday objects and help the planet at the same time. A．Identify old materials. B．Spark an idea from the trash. C．Upcycling is actually much better for the environment. D．Shopping for these items can be almost as fun as the project itself. E．Yet, they work in different ways and create different finished products. F．Feel free to test different methods until you achieve the look you want. G．Sketch your ideas or search online for simple examples of upcycled art. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．G 4．D 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了升级再造这一处理垃圾的方式，对比其与回收的不同，并详细给出升级再造的五步计划，展现其环保价值。 1．上文“Many people think recycling is the only way to deal with waste, but there’s another option called upcycling.

It brings neighbors together to improve their living environment and build stronger relationships. From picking up litter in the park to brushing off graffiti on community walls, every small task becomes a bridge connecting people who might otherwise pass each other without a word. 1 First, organizing such an event requires careful planning. Local leaders or volunteers typically begin by selecting a date suitable for most people — often a weekend — to boost participation. 2 Local businesses may also be reached out to for supplies like gloves, trash bags, and cleaning tools, ensuring that everyone has the resources needed to contribute effectively. On the day of the event, participants gather at a central location, such as a park or community center. 3 After that, they are divided into groups to cover different areas — parks or streets. Working side by side, people chat about their lives, share stories, and get to know each other better while picking up litter and removing graffiti, turning a chore into a chance for connection. 4 Many find that seeing the immediate results of their efforts — cleaner streets, brighter public spaces, and a neighborhood that feels renewed — gives them a deep sense of pride. Kids who take part learn firsthand the importance of responsibility and caring for their surroundings, lessons that stay with them long after the day ends. Community Clean-up Day doesn’t end when the trash is collected. 5 It encourages ongoing efforts to keep the community clean, such as starting recycling programs or planting trees. In the end, it’s not just about a cleaner neighborhood, but a happier and more connected one. A．There organizers review the day’s goals and safety tips. B．Then posters are put up and emails sent out to spread the word. C．Some even plot ahead to make the day more competitive. D．Participants often feel a sense of achievement after the work. E．The success of the event depends on the number of volunteers. F．These shared efforts, though simple, promote a sense of belonging. G．It reminds everyone that maintaining a clean environment is a group effort. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章详细介绍了“社区清洁日”的意义，阐述了其从活动组织、具体开展到后续影响的完整过程，强调了它不仅改善环境，更能促进邻里关系、培养归属感和责任感，是一项长效的社区建设活动。 1．上文“Community Clean-up Day is more than just a one-day event.

Here’s how to start: First, clarify your presentation goal. 3 Are you supposed to explain a historical event, share a science experiment result, or argue for a certain opinion? Knowing this helps you stay focused—you won’t waste time on unrelated details. For example, if your goal is to explain a math formula, your content should center on “how it works” and “when to use it,” not random math facts. Next, organize your content logically. 4 A good structure usually includes three parts: an opening (to grab attention, like a question or a short story), a main body (to present key points with examples), and a closing (to summarize and invite questions). Avoid jumping between ideas — this confuses your audience. Finally, practice until you feel confident. 5 You can record yourself to check your speed (not too fast!) and body language (smile and make eye contact). If you forget a part, don’t panic — have a small note card with key points to remind you. Practicing also helps you get used to speaking in front of others, reducing nervousness. Preparing a good presentation takes time, but it’s worth it. Not only will you get better grades, but you’ll also build skills that help with future projects or jobs. A．Ask yourself: What do I want the audience to learn from my presentation? B．The first thing to do is to stop worrying about making mistakes — everyone makes them. C．However, many students struggle with two main problems: lack of focus and poor structure. D．Instead of choosing a complex topic to impress others, pick one you can explain thoroughly. E．To fix these issues, you don’t need to be a “natural speaker” — you just need a clear plan. F．Even 10 minutes of daily practice can make your delivery more natural and confident. G．A well-organized presentation is easier for the audience to follow and for you to present. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．A 4．G 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何通过明确目标、合理组织内容和反复练习来准备一场有效的课堂展示。 1．上文“Class presentations are a common way to show your learning, but many students feel nervous or end up with disorganized content.

Small, regular changes — from charging routines to daily use — effectively protect battery health. Below are four practical ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan. Stick to moderate charging ranges Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles. 1 , which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging. Keep the battery cool 2 . Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly. 3 Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast. Choose suitable charging devices Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current. 4 , so reserve it for emergencies. Wireless charging is gentler but still warms the device — ensure good cooling and avoid using the phone while charging wirelessly. By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure. 5 . A．Adjust daily usage habits B．Ignore background app refresh C．Heat is a battery’s worst enemy D．You’d better preserve your battery health E．Turn on your phone’s battery enhancement tool F．Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat G．Little daily efforts extend your phone’s charging ability and reliability 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．A 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了如何延长你的手机电池寿命。 1．根据本句小标题“Stick to moderate charging ranges (保持适中充电区间)”以及上文“Avoid extreme battery levels: don’t let it drop below 20% or stay at 100% for hours. Lithium-ion batteries work best between 30% and 80%, so charge at 30% and stop at 80% instead of full cycles.(避免电池电量极端值：不要让电池电量低于20%，也不要长时间保持在100%。锂离子电池在30%至80% 的电量范围内工作效果最佳，因此应以30%的电量开始充电，并在80%的电量时停止充电，而非进行完全的充放电循环)”可知，前文建议“充电至30%开始80%停止”，后文补充“which caps overnight charging at 80% to prevent harmful overcharging.(可限制夜间充电至80%，避免过度充电)”——这一功能需通过手机自带工具实现，E选项“启动您手机的电池优化工具”符合语境恰好衔接“自动限制充电上限”的操作，符合“实用方法”的语境。故选E。 2．根据本句小标题“Keep the battery cool(保持电池凉爽)”以及后文“Never leave your phone in direct sunlight or hot cars, and keep it away from laptops or heat sources. Shut down gaming or heavy apps that produce much heat, and take off the case if the phone warms up while charging to release heat quickly.(切勿将手机置于直射阳光下或高温环境中，也请远离笔记本电脑或热源。关闭会产生大量热量的游戏或耗电较大的应用程序，如果手机在充电时发热，可取下保护套以加快散热)”可知，本段核心是“保持电池凉爽”，首句需点明核心观点。C选项“高温是电池的头号敌人”直接点题，后文“避免阳光直射、远离热源、关闭发热apps”等措施均围绕“降温防热”展开，首尾呼应。故选C。 3．根据下文“Lower screen brightness or use auto-brightness, and set screen timeout to 30 seconds or 1 minute. Turn off Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi when unused, and limit background app refresh — many apps consume power silently. It’s wise to skip high- performance modes unless necessary, which make the battery run out fast.(降低屏幕亮度或启用自动亮度调节功能，并将屏幕休眠时间设置为30秒或1分钟。在不使用时关闭蓝牙、GPS 和 Wi-Fi功能，并限制后台应用的刷新——许多应用程序在不使用时也会默默消耗电量。除非必要，否则最好避免使用高性能模式，因为这种模式会使电池很快耗尽)”可知，本段列举的“降低屏幕亮度、设置自动锁屏、关闭闲置功能、限制后台刷新”均属于“日常使用习惯调整”，A选项“调整日常使用习惯”符合语境。故选A。 4．根据上文“Use the original charger or certified third- party ones that match your phone’s voltage (电压) and current.(请使用原装充电器，或者使用与您手机电压和电流相匹配的经过认证的第三方充电器)”可知，前文建议“使用原装或认证充电器”，后文“so reserve it for emergencies(因此仅在紧急情况使用)”暗示该充电方式有弊端。“Fast charging is convenient but generates extra heat(快充虽便捷，但会产生额外热量)”既说明快充的优势，又点出“发热”的缺点，与后文“紧急情况才使用”形成因果逻辑（因发热伤电池，故少用）。故选F。 5．根据上文“By following these practices, you can extend your phone’s battery life by 1-2 years. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to protect the battery’s internal structure.(按照这些方法操作，可以将手机的电池寿命延长1到2年。保持一贯性至关重要，所以要养成保护电池内部结构的习惯)”可知，前文强调“坚持这些做法可延长电池1到2年寿命”，结尾需总结“日常习惯的重要性”。G选项“日常的微小努力能提升手机的充电能力和可靠性”呼应开篇“good daily habits can slow this process”，升华主题。故选G。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
