综合练03 阅读七选五、阅读表达等(15篇) Text 01 【湖南省长沙市雨花区雅礼中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月月考】 Cybercrime: the dark side of the Internet It was estimated that as of November 2025, there were 4.6 billion Internet users globally, representing almost 3/4 of the world’s population. The Internet has, in a relatively short span of time, completely revolutionized how we communicate with each other, exchange information and conduct business. Unfortunately, due to its wide reach and relative privacy, the Internet has become very attractive to criminals. 16 In order to address this issue and avoid becoming a victim, we need to develop an awareness of cybercrime. 17 Phishing (网络钓鱼) is one of the most common types of cybercrime. When clicking on links to dangerous websites or software, you may be fooled into providing personal information such as passwords, usernames or financial details. Malware (恶意软件), another form of cybercrime, can cause damage or gain illegal access to a computer or network. Cybercriminals trick you into parting with your money, infecting your computer with a virus to steal your personal data, or blocking you from accessing your own data until a ransom (赎金) is paid. For example, in 2021, a computer manufacturer suffered a ransomware attack. Cybercriminals took advantage of a weakness in a server, accessed the company's files and demanded a large sum of money. Fortunately, you can take preventive measures to reduce your chances of falling victim to such cybercrimes. 18 Do not provide personal information on a website you know nothing about, especially those that ask for your name, mailing address and bank account number. To avoid getting taken in, be cautious about advertisements offering bargains and rewards that seem too good to be true. And, of course, do not open email attachments or click on links from unknown sources, no matter how curious you might be. Secondly, you can turn to technical defenses to protect yourself from cybercrime. Turn on your spam (垃圾邮件) blocker to prevent unwanted messages from getting to your inbox. 19 It is also a good idea to keep your software and operating system up to date by downloading and installing the latest security patches. So, next time you go online, never drop your guard. 20 A．Stay alert, smart and safe! B．Cybercrime can come in many different forms. C．Firstly, you need to stay alert when using the Internet. D．Keeping a close eye on your personal information is a must. E．There are cases where people suffered both financially and mentally. F．Consequently, cybercrime has become a huge problem in recent years. G．Make sure you have reliable antivirus software and always keep it turned on. 【答案】16．F 17．B 18．C 19．G 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网络犯罪的多种形式，以及人们可以采取的预防措施，以此提醒大家上网时提高警惕，防范网络犯罪。 16．根据上文“Unfortunately, due to its wide reach and relative privacy, the Internet has become very attractive to criminals(不幸的是，由于互联网的广泛覆盖性和相对隐私性，它对犯罪分子极具吸引力)”可知，互联网的特性吸引了犯罪分子，下文“In order to address this issue and avoid becoming a victim(为了解决这个问题，避免成为受害者)”中的“this issue”指代前文提到的互联网的特性吸引了犯罪分子这一问题，F项“Consequently, cybercrime has become a huge problem in recent years(因此，网络犯罪近年来已成为一个严重的问题)”承接上文，说明犯罪分子利用互联网特性导致的结果，同时引出下文要解决的问题，故选F项。 17．根据下文“Phishing (网络钓鱼) is one of the most common types of cybercrime(网络钓鱼是最常见的网络犯罪类型之一)”和“Malware (恶意软件), another form of cybercrime(恶意软件是另一种网络犯罪形式)”可知，本段具体介绍了两种网络犯罪的形式，B 项“Cybercrime can come in many different forms(网络犯罪有多种不同的形式)”总领全段，概括了本段的核心内容，故选B项。 18．根据上文“Fortunately, you can take preventive measures to reduce your chances of falling victim to such cybercrimes.(幸运的是，你可以采取预防措施来降低成为此类网络犯罪受害者的几率)”以及下文“Secondly, you can turn to technical defenses to protect yourself from cybercrime(其次，你可以借助技术防护手段来保护自己免受网络犯罪侵害)”可知，上文提到了你可以采取预防措施，下文提到了第二个措施，可推理出空白处是介绍预防网络犯罪的第一个措施，C项“Firstly, you need to stay alert when using the Internet(首先，你在使用互联网时需要保持警惕)”符合语境，其中“Firstly”与下文的“Secondly”相呼应，故选C项。 19．根据上文“Secondly, you can turn to technical defenses to protect yourself from cybercrime. Turn on your spam (垃圾邮件) blocker to prevent unwanted messages from getting to your inbox(其次，你可以借助技术防护手段来保护自己免受网络犯罪侵害。开启垃圾邮件拦截功能，防止无用信息进入收件箱)”可知，本段介绍的是预防网络犯罪的技术防护措施，G项“Make sure you have reliable antivirus software and always keep it turned on(确保你安装了可靠的杀毒软件，并始终保持开启状态)”是对技术防护措施的补充，符合语境，故选G项。 20．根据上文“So, next time you go online, never drop your guard.(所以，下次上网时，绝不能放松警惕)”可知，此处是对全文内容的总结，提醒人们上网时要保持警惕，A项“Stay alert, smart and safe!(保持警惕、理智，保障自身安全！)”进一步强化了这一提醒，简洁有力地收束全文，故选A项。 Text 02 【湖南省长沙市天心区长郡中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月月考】You may have caught yourself talking to yourself, whether it’s reminding yourself about tasks or processing your emotions out loud. This simple habit often feels comforting and can be incredibly useful. After all, sometimes your own voice is your biggest motivator. Why People Talk to Themselves Talking to yourself might seem strange. 16 It’s more than perfectly normal — in fact, it can serve as a powerful mental strategy. 17 It can operate like a thermostat (恒温器), influencing the temperature of your emotions. External self-talk can also help you move towards your goals, give yourself feedback, and assist with analyzing challenging tasks. Some people also use it to prepare what they want to say ahead of time. The Benefits of Talking to Yourself 18 One benefit of external self-talk is that it can improve the relationship you have with yourself. Instead of asking others for answers all the time, talking to yourself helps you hear what you really want and make your own choices. Talking to yourself is a way to admit you are in charge as an adult. Trusting yourself is a key factor for building self-worth and tuning out other noises. Create space for curiosity. Talking to yourself creates a suitable environment for self-inquiry. When you communicate with yourself with curiosity, you will become more aware of and understand yourself clearly. 19 For example, you can ask yourself some questions to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, or you can try a journaling method — write down your thoughts and answers, then read those answers out loud. So remember, even if talking to yourself feels a little odd, it comes with big benefits. Start small and ask yourself how you feel and why, and don’t be afraid to voice your thoughts out loud. 20 A．Regulate emotions. B．Boost self-worth. C．In fact, this way of self-inquiry can be very simple. D．However, there are a variety of reasons why people do it. E．Self-inquiry requires quite complex steps every now and then. F．Talking to yourself isn’t just common chatter — it’s a practical technique. G．This powerful practice could make a big difference in your mental wellness. 16．D 17．A 18．B 19．C 20．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍自言自语看似奇怪实则正常，阐述其产生原因及提升自我价值、激发好奇心等益处，倡导人们尝试。 16．根据上文“Talking to yourself might seem strange.(自言自语可能看起来很奇怪。)”以及下文“It’s more than perfectly normal — in fact, it can serve as a powerful mental strategy.(这不仅仅是完全正常的 —— 事实上，它还可以作为一种强有力的心理策略)”可知，此处应表转折，指出虽然看起来奇怪但人们却因为各种原因这样做，D选项“However, there are a variety of reasons why people do it.(然而，人们这样做的原因有很多)”既转折上文“奇怪”的认知，又引出下文其正常性与实用性，符合语境。故选D项。 17．根据下文“It can operate like a thermostat, influencing the temperature of your emotions.(它可以像恒温器一样运作，影响你的情绪温度)”可知，此处应概括该段核心——自言自语对情绪的调节作用，A选项“Regulate emotions.(调节情绪)”直接点明段落主旨，与下文情绪调节的内容相呼应，符合语境。故选A项。 18．根据下文“Trusting yourself is a key factor for building self-worth and tuning out other noises.(相信自己是建立自我价值感和屏蔽其他噪音的关键因素)”可知，该段围绕“提升自我价值”展开，B选项“Boost self-worth.(提升自我价值)”作为段落主旨句，契合下文建立自我价值感的核心内容，符合语境。故选B项。 19．根据上文“Talking to yourself creates a suitable environment for self-inquiry.(自言自语为自我探究创造了适宜的环境)”以及下文“For example, you can ask yourself some questions to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, or you can try a journaling method — write down your thoughts and answers, then read those answers out loud.(例如，你可以问自己一些问题，以更深入地了解自己的内心世界；或者你可以尝试一种写日记的方法 —— 写下自己的想法和答案，然后大声读出这些答案)”可知，此处应衔接自我探究，且体现其简单易操作，C选项“In fact, this way of self-inquiry can be very simple.(事实上，这种自我探究的方式可以非常简单)”中的this way of self-inquiry指代上文内容，simple与下文举例的简单方法相呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 20．根据上文“Start small and ask yourself how you feel and why, and don’t be afraid to voice your thoughts out loud.(从小处着手，问问自己的感受和原因，不要害怕大声说出自己的想法)”可知，此处应总结自言自语的积极作用，G选项“This powerful practice could make a big difference in your mental wellness.(这种有效的做法可能会对你的心理健康产生很大影响)”中的This powerful practice指代上文自言自语的行为，总结其对心理健康的益处，呼应前文“自言自语有诸多好处”，符合语境。故选G项。 Text 03 【2026届广东省深圳高级中学高三上学期第二次诊断性】Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. 16 However, it is difficult to survive this adventure. First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. 17 Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help. Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. 18 This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts. 19 Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. 20 Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets. A．Exploring space always comes with risks. B．It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts. C．They can’t restock like astronauts on the space station do. D．On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. E．That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars. F．This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. G．Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. 16．E 17．F 18．D 19．G 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人类探索火星所面临的挑战和困难。文章从多个角度分析了人类登陆火星的可能性和难点，包括健康风险、空间辐射、生存条件的建立以及保护火星环境等方面。 16．根据上文“Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. (在过去的60年里，许多航天器飞过火星，绕火星运行，甚至在火星上着陆。但人类探险者可以比机器工作得更快，更灵活。踏上火星将是太空探索的一个重要里程碑。)”可知，上文是解释为什么某些国家有兴趣将人类送往火星，本空应对此进行总结，E选项“That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars. (这就是为什么某些国家有兴趣将人类送往火星。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 17．根据上文“For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. (另一方面，它会导致液体在头部积聚。)”可知，长时间在微重力环境下会导致头部积液，本空应继续解释这种现象导致的健康后果，F选项“This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. (这可能会导致眼睛压力增加，并导致视力并发症。)”说明了头部积液可能导致的视力问题，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 18．根据上文“Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems.  (然后还有空间辐射要担心。地球磁场保护地球附近的宇航员免受高能宇宙射线的伤害。这些宇宙射线可能会增加患癌症和其他健康问题的风险。)”可知，宇宙射线可能增加癌症和其他健康问题的风险，本空继续谈论这种暴露对于宇航员的影响，D选项“On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. (在长途旅行中，宇航员将面临长时间的暴露。)”正好说明了在更长的旅程中，宇航员会面临更长时间的暴露在宇宙射线中，这增加了患病的风险，能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 19．根据下文“Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. (由于宇航员无法从地球上携带建筑材料，科学家们正在想方设法让宇航员在火星上使用材料。长期游客也需要大量的氧气来呼吸。美国宇航局‘毅力号’探测器上的一个设备目前正在为未来的火星氧气工厂奠定基础。)”可知，下文是具体解释在火星定居地建立和生存将面临的许多具体的挑战，G选项“Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges.

From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is stitched into daily life. 16 Learning to reframe this universal emotion may be the key. Here’s how. Acknowledge roadblocks as normal. The first step is being aware that everything comes with hardships — whether improving your work, picking up a new hobby or skill, or even re-learning that skill you once mastered. 17 If you keep this in mind ahead of time, you can anticipate the roadblocks. Shift the viewpoint on frustration. Instead of seeing frustration as failure, regard it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. Think of adaptive academic tests, which intentionally increase difficulty with students’ progress. They make frustration part of the design. 18 Regulate emotions in the moment. 19 Research suggests that doing it in urgent situations can be beneficial, though. If you’ re overwhelmingly frustrated, you can’t act. A temporary control — maybe a deep breath, a silent count to five, or a quick tightening of fists — can free up the cognitive resources that are needed to solve the problem. 20 Not all emotional release serves the same purpose. An angry outburst can harm interpersonal bonds, but sharing your feelings thoughtfully with someone you trust can restore your sense of perspective. This deliberate approach helps manage emotional intensity and provides valuable context. When a problem feels overwhelming, another person can often help you view it from a newer, more manageable angle. A．Help others through their frustrations. B．Channel your frustration constructively. C．Any behavioral change means things won’t feel right. D．Holding feelings back for a long time hurts physically and mentally. E．To benefit from frustration, apply academic tests to future challenges. F．Though often seen as destructive, frustration has its unexpected benefits. G．That struggle doesn’t mean you’re failing, but proving you’re moving ahead. 16．F 17．C 18．G 19．D 20．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了应对挫败感的几种有效方法。 16．上文“From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is stitched into daily life. (从人生的宏大目标到最微小的烦恼，沮丧都嵌入在日常生活中)”提到沮丧情绪常见，下文“Learning to reframe this universal emotion may be the key. Here’s how. (学会重新定义这种普遍的情绪可能是关键。以下是方法)”提到重新定义以及应对之法。F选项“尽管沮丧常被视为具有破坏性，但它有出人意料的益处”起到承上启下的作用，引出下文对沮丧益处及应对方法的介绍。故选F项。 17．上文“The first step is being aware that everything comes with hardships — whether improving your work, picking up a new hobby or skill, or even re-learning that skill you once mastered. (第一步是意识到一切事物都伴随着困难——无论是改进工作、培养新爱好或技能，甚至是重新学习你曾经掌握的技能)”说明无论做什么事情都会遇到困难，C选项“任何行为改变都意味着将经历适应期的不适”进一步说明出现不适是正常的，与上文关于困难的论述相呼应。故选C项。 18．上文“Think of adaptive academic tests, which intentionally increase difficulty with students’ progress. They make frustration part of the design. (试想适应性学术测试——这类考试会随着学生进步刻意提升难度，其设计本身就包含了挫败感的预设)”指出是因进步引起测试难度增加而导致沮丧情绪的出现。G选项“那种挣扎并不意味着你失败了，而是证明你在前进”是对上文观点的进一步阐释，说明沮丧是进步的体现。故选G项。 19．上文“Regulate emotions in the moment. (调节当下的情绪)”提到调节情绪，下文“Research suggests that doing it in urgent situations can be beneficial, though. If you’ re overwhelmingly frustrated, you can’t act. A temporary control — maybe a deep breath, a silent count to five, or a quick tightening of fists — can free up the cognitive resources that are needed to solve the problem. (不过，研究表明在紧急情况下这样做是有益的。如果你极度沮丧，就无法行动。暂时的控制——也许是深呼吸、默数到五，或者快速握拳——可以释放解决问题所需的认知资源)”说明了调节沮丧情绪的具体做法。D 选项“长期压抑情绪会对身心造成伤害”从反面说明调节情绪的必要性，既呼应本段首句，又与下文关于及时调节情绪有益的论述相契合。故选D项。 20．下文“Not all emotional release serves the same purpose. An angry outburst can harm interpersonal bonds, but sharing your feelings thoughtfully with someone you trust can restore your sense of perspective. (并非所有的情绪释放都有相同的作用。愤怒的爆发会伤害人际关系，但与你信任的人认真分享你的感受可以恢复你的判断力)”指出释放情绪的好坏方式。B选项“建设性地疏导你的沮丧情绪”概括了本段主旨，引出下文关于如何正确处理沮丧情绪的内容。故选B项。 Text 05 【江苏省扬州中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月阶段性测试】One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to improve their health is attempting too many sudden and great changes. Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable. 16 Here are some practical yet powerful tips to help you: Start with small, achievable goals. 17 For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. These minor adjustments prevent burnout while steadily improving your strength and endurance. 18 Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. For example, swap soda for sparkling water with lemon, or replace white bread with whole-grain alternatives. Small, sustainable changes lead to lasting results without the frustration of yo-yo dieting. Prioritize sleep for overall well-being. In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment. 19 Sleep deprivation weakens immunity, increases stress hormones, and even contributes to weight gain. To improve sleep quality, establish a calming bedtime routine — dim the lights, avoid screens an hour before bed, and keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Stay active throughout the day. Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. 20 Simple activities like walking during phone calls or doing light stretches can boost energy, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity. A．Be consistent rather than extreme. B．Focus on nutrition, not just dieting. C．Listen to your body’s needs and adjust accordingly. D．It can help reduce stress and improves circulation. E．The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived. F．Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals. G．You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price. 16．E 17．F 18．B 19．G 20．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述人们改善健康常因极端改变失败，建议从小目标、重营养、优先睡眠、日常活动等可持续习惯入手。 16．由上文“Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable.(速成节食、极端锻炼计划或突然的睡眠调整往往会失败，因为它们难以持续。)”可知，此处指出极端改变的弊端，空格处需引出可持续习惯的重要性，E项“The best habits are those you can maintain without feeling deprived.(最好的习惯是那些你可以在不感到匮乏的情况下维持的习惯。)”符合语境，unsustainable与maintain形成对比，引出下文的建议。故选E项。 17．由下文“For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. (例如，他们希望在没有事先训练的情况下每天跑5英里。相反，他们应该从可控的步骤开始——走楼梯而不是电梯，或者每天早上做10分钟的伸展运动。)”可知，此处举例说明目标过高的问题，F项“Many people get discouraged because they start with too high goals.(许多人因为一开始目标过高而气馁。)”阐述目标过高造成的问题，符合语境，too high goals直接对应后文“跑5英里” 的例子，解释“气馁”的原因，引出“从小目标开始”的解决方案。故选F项。 18．由下文“Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. (对饮食过于严格往往会适得其反。这通常会导致体重迅速回升和沮丧。与其禁止食物，不如专注于添加更多完整、营养丰富的选择，如蔬菜、瘦肉蛋白和健康脂肪。)”可知，此段讨论饮食调整的策略，B项Focus on nutrition, not just dieting.(关注营养，而不仅仅是节食。)符合语境，nutrition对应后文“添加蔬菜、瘦肉蛋白等”，not just dieting否定“禁止食物”的极端做法，总领段落核心观点。故选B项。 19．由上文“In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment.(在当今快节奏的世界里，睡眠常常为了效率或娱乐而被牺牲。)”可知，此处指出睡眠被忽视的现象，空格处需说明牺牲睡眠的后果，G项You might think you can go with little of it, but your body pays the price.(你可能认为少睡点没关系，但你的身体会付出代价。)符合语境，it 指代前文sleep，pays the price衔接后文“免疫力下降、压力激素增加”等具体危害，形成因果关系。故选G项。 20．由上文“Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. (长时间坐着与血液循环不良、背痛和代谢问题有关。如果你有一份案头工作，设置提醒，让你每小时站起来移动一次。)”可知，此处强调日常活动的重要性，空格处需说明活动的益处，D项It can help reduce stress and improves circulation.(它可以帮助减轻压力并改善血液循环。)符合语境，it指代前文move every hour，improves circulation直接回应上文poor circulation的问题，补充说明活动的积极效果。故选D项。 Text 06 【福建省厦门第一中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月考】One of the most common mistakes in communication is trying to do too much. 16 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. 17 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. 18 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 19 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. 20       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. 16．C 17．D 18．G 19．B 20．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。 16．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。 17．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。 18．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。 19．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。 20．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。 Text 07 【山东师范大学附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试】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. 36 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. 37 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 38 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. 39 40 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.

Faced with minor illnesses like a persistent cough or headache, many of us now instinctively reach for our smartphones rather than the phone to book a doctor’s appointment. 16 This immediate access to a vast encyclopedia (百科全书) of medical knowledge makes healthcare appear more accessible than ever before. 17 The condition, known as “cyberchondria”, describes a state of health anxiety fueled by excessive online searching. The process often works like this: an individual researches a common symptom, only to find it could be linked to a severe illness. This can lead to self-misdiagnosis (自我误诊) and intense, unnecessary worry. 18 They advise the initial step in treatment is to drastically (极大地) reduce the patients’ internet browsing. While the web holds a wealth of information, it critically lacks professional judgment. A face-to-face consultation with a doctor provides not just a diagnosis, but also context, reassurance, and a tailored treatment plan. But a trend makes physicians feel challenged. They sometimes find patients arriving with printouts or descriptions of vague conditions they have self-diagnosed. 19 However, the internet is not solely a disruptive (破坏性的) force. As Professor Sue Ziebland from the University of Oxford has found through her research, online information is becoming a common part of patient-doctor dialogues. 20 This collaborative approach can lead to more informed discussions. Ultimately, it seems that while the virtual world can offer a helpful dose of information, the human medical expert remains irreplaceable for their experience and empathetic care. A．It can complicate the consultation process. B．Some apps even enable remote patient monitoring. C．Hence, building trusted medical websites is essential. D．Online resources offer instant guidance on all health issues. E．Experts find many such patients spend excessive time online. F．However, this convenience comes with a significant downside.

If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a good start. Exploring the answers to this question can open windows to worlds you never knew existed. 16 You will find something here that will get you interested, or get you thinking about its significance. 17 History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper glimpse into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots can provide. History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living a long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. 18 History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. 19 Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more. 20 It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of related questions. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere for anybody. A．History grounds us in our roots. B．It stimulates a curiosity that pulls us deeper into the past. C．History is an essential part of human civilization. D．What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons.

Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people. Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. 17 . They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence. Adjust your strategy. 18 , so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master. 19 . Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance. Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. 20 . A．Accept the situation B．Consider what you can learn C．Catch yourself when you start to do this D．Sometimes you can’t leave the situation E．So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story F．Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help G．An impossible person is convinced that they have already made a mistake 16．F 17．E 18．D 19．B 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了应对难相处的人的方法，包括避免防御、调整策略、接受从他们身上学习以及注意不沾染他们的不良特性等。 16．根据上文“Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one.(大多数人都认识一些似乎会把每种情况都变得消极且难以处理的人。)”以及下文 “as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior.(因为他们可能看不到自己行为存在的问题。)”可知，此处讲述指出这些人有问题是没有用的，由此可知，此空应阐述指出这些人难相处是没有帮助的，F选项“Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help(指出这些人很难相处且要求苛刻是没有帮助的)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。 17．根据上文“Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible” for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem.(保持冷静，并意识到在与难相处的人的争论中你永远不会赢—— 他们被称为“难相处的人”是有原因的。在他们心里，你才是问题所在。)”可知，此处讲述与难相处的人争论时的情况，由此可推断，此空应阐述与难相处的人争论时的情况，E选项“So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story(所以你说的任何话都无法说服他们站在你的立场看问题)”承接上文，进一步说明了与他们争论时的结果，符合语境。故选E项。 18．根据上文“Adjust your strategy.(调整你的策略。)”以及下文“so treat it like a game.(所以把它当作一场游戏。)”可知，此处讲述有时不能摆脱与难相处的人的相处，所以要调整策略，D选项“Sometimes you can’t leave the situation(有时你无法摆脱这种情况)”与下文为因果关系，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选D项。 19．根据下文“Impossible people offer valuable life experiences.

You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person.(出于这个原因，你可能会发现自己意外地采用了你不喜欢的那些特性。你可能会以同样不合逻辑的行为来回应那个难相处的人。)”可知，此处讲述要注意避免沾染难相处的人的不良特性，C选项“Catch yourself when you start to do this(当你开始这样做的时候要及时察觉自己)”中的do this指的是上文的“adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident.”，起到了总结上文的作用。故选C项。 Text 11 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 【北京市东城区2025-2026学年高三上学期期未统一检测】History is full of stories suggesting that scientific breakthroughs happen suddenly, in a flash of inspiration. Perhaps the most famous of these concerns Isaac Newton, a physicist, who was supposedly sitting under a tree in his mother’s garden when an apple fell on his head. Thanks to this, Newton came up with his theory of gravity. Nearly two thousand years earlier, the mathematician and physicist Archimedes was struggling with a problem that nobody could find the answer to—how to accurately measure the volume of an object. When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in, the solution came to him. “Eureka” he reportedly declared, which means “I’ve found it” in Ancient Greek. Apparently, he was so excited by his discovery, which became very influential, that he jumped out of the bathtub and ran into the street to tell everyone! These two stories, both of which involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they’d been working on, have been told for centuries. People enjoy the simplicity of the stories when they think of the images of an apple falling from a tree or an old man jumping out of the bathtub. Perhaps the two stories even lead us to believe that we too can make great discoveries if we’re lucky enough to have our own “Eureka moment.” But, in reality, such discoveries usually follow years of hard work and serious scientific analysis, most of which isn’t of interest to people in the same way as the two stories mentioned previously. Recent studies suggest that effective problem-solving often requires two types of attention. The first stage is analytical thinking, which involves paying close attention to detail. This stage may take years or even decades. But there comes a point when we must step away from the problem and give it space and time. And it’s during this less focused stage, when we’re in the bathtub, or under an apple tree, that our “Eureka moments” are more likely to come. 1．When did Archimedes find the solution to the problem he was struggling with? 2．What do the two stories have in common? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. People are interested in Eureka stories because they admire the process of scientific discovery. 4．Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what else contributes to problem-solving? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in. 2．Both involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they’d been working on. 3．People are interested in Eureka stories because they admire the process of scientific discovery. They enjoy the simplicity of the stories. 4．Other factors include teamwork for diverse ideas, persistence to overcome failures, and access to resources like books or tools. These help build knowledge and creativity, leading to better solutions beyond just focused thinking. 【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了科学突破常被传为灵光乍现，实则多经过漫长积累。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Nearly two thousand years earlier, the mathematician and physicist Archimedes was struggling with a problem that nobody could find the answer to—how to accurately measure the volume of an object. When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in, the solution came to him.(大约两千年前，数学家和物理学家阿基米德正在努力解决一个没有人能找到答案的问题——如何准确地测量物体的体积。当他进入浴缸时，他注意到浴缸里的水在上升，他想到了解决办法)”可知，当阿基米德进去时发现浴缸里的水在上升，从而找到了解决他苦苦挣扎的问题的方法。故回答：When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“These two stories, both of which involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they’d been working on, have been told for centuries.(这两个故事，都是关于科学家们突然解决了他们一直在研究的问题，已经被讲述了几个世纪)”可知，这两个故事的共同之处是两者都涉及科学家突然解决了他们一直在研究的问题。故回答：Both involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they’d been working on. 3．考查细节理解。根据第三段“People enjoy the simplicity of the stories when they think of the images of an apple falling from a tree or an old man jumping out of the bathtub. Perhaps the two stories even lead us to believe that we too can make great discoveries if we’re lucky enough to have our own “Eureka moment.” But, in reality, such discoveries usually follow years of hard work and serious scientific analysis, most of which isn’t of interest to people in the same way as the two stories mentioned previously.(当人们想到苹果从树上掉下来或老人从浴缸里跳出来的画面时，就会喜欢这些故事的简单。也许这两个故事甚至让我们相信，如果我们足够幸运地拥有自己的“Eureka时刻”，我们也可以做出伟大的发现。但是，实际上，这些发现通常是经过多年的艰苦工作和认真的科学分析后得出的，其中大多数发现并不像前面提到的两个故事那样引起人们的兴趣)”可知，人们喜欢这些故事是因为其简单性，而非欣赏科学发现的实际过程；实际过程是漫长而艰苦的。故回答：People are interested in Eureka stories because they admire the process of scientific discovery. They enjoy the simplicity of the stories. 4．开放性问题。文中提到了分析性思维，除了这种思维外，要想成功还需要团队合作、克服失败的毅力、获取书籍或工具等资源。这些有助于建立知识和创造力，带来更好的解决方案，而不仅仅是集中思考。故回答：Other factors include teamwork for diverse ideas, persistence to overcome failures, and access to resources like books or tools. These help build knowledge and creativity, leading to better solutions beyond just focused thinking. Text 12 【北京大学附属中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月考】Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. 5．Why is buying local food promoted by campaigners? 6．What makes locally grown food use more energy than imported food? 7．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. 8．Excluding environmental concerns, would you prefer to buy local food or imported food? Why?（In about 40 words） 【答案】5．Because the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. 6．Refrigerating locally grown food for months and growing it in heated greenhouses. 7．If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. A product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. 8．version 1: I would choose local food. First, purchasing local food supports domestic farmers and businesses, contributing to regional economic growth. Second, local food typically often reflects seasonal availability, which enhances taste and quality, encouraging a natural diet aligned with the environment.（40 words） version 2: I would choose imported food. It offers greater variety and access to unique products unavailable locally, such as exotic fruits or specialty cheeses. Imported food allows me to explore different cuisines and enjoy flavors from around the world. This diversity enriches my dining experience and broadens my culinary horizons.（49 words） 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了活动倡导者推广本地食品以减碳，但食品碳排放需考量全产业链。部分进口食品因种植、运输条件，碳足迹反而更低，且消费者购物出行也会影响碳排放。 5．考查细节理解。根据第一段“Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly.(最近，环保人士鼓励我们购买本地食品。这样做可以减少“食品里程”——即食物从生产者手中运往零售商手中的距离。他们认为，食品的运输里程越长，产生的碳排放就越多。因此，购买本地食品的碳足迹更小，也更有利于环境)”可知，活动人士会大力倡导购买本地食品是因为运输距离越长，碳排放量就越大。因此，购买本地食品的碳足迹更低，也更环保。故答案为Because the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. 6．考查细节理解。根据第三段“However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate.(然而，我们在冬季或春季购买的苹果在储存过程中已经冷藏了数月，这消耗了大量的能源。因此，在春季，从新西兰进口这些苹果更为节能，因为那里正是它们的上市季节。供暖也消耗大量能源，这就是为什么在英国用加热温室来种植西红柿不如从西班牙进口环保，因为在西班牙当地气候条件下，西红柿生长得很好)”可知，本地种植的食物比进口食物消耗更多的能源是因为本地种植的食物冷藏数月，并在加热的温室中种植。故答案为Refrigerating locally grown food for months and growing it in heated greenhouses. 7．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint.(此外，我们还应当记住，一款产品的生命周期并不仅仅在超市这一环节结束。消费者购买食物所走的路程以及他们所使用的交通方式也会增加其碳排放量)”可知，错误部分为“whose destination is the supermarket”，一款产品的生命周期并不仅仅止于超市这一环节。消费者购买食物所走的路程以及他们所使用的交通方式也会增加其碳排放量。故答案为If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. A product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. 8．考查开放题。根据“不考虑环境因素的话，你更倾向于购买本地食品还是进口食品呢？为什么？”可回答：版本1：我会选择本地食物。首先，购买本地食物能够支持国内的农民和企业，有助于促进地区经济的增长。其次，本地食物通常能更好地反映季节性供应情况，从而提升口感和质量，有助于形成与环境相适应的自然饮食模式。版本2：我会选择进口食物。它提供了更多的种类和获取更多当地没有的独特产品的机会，比如异国水果或特色奶酪。进口食物让我能够探索不同的菜系，并品尝来自世界各地的风味。这种多样性丰富了我的用餐体验，也拓宽了我的烹饪视野。故答案为version 1: I would choose local food. First, purchasing local food supports domestic farmers and businesses, contributing to regional economic growth. Second, local food typically often reflects seasonal availability, which enhances taste and quality, encouraging a natural diet aligned with the environment.（40 words） version 2: I would choose imported food. It offers greater variety and access to unique products unavailable locally, such as exotic fruits or specialty cheeses. Imported food allows me to explore different cuisines and enjoy flavors from around the world. This diversity enriches my dining experience and broadens my culinary horizons.（49 words） Text 13 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 【北京市北京大学附属中学预科部2025-2026学年高三上学期12月考】When you have a big project to do, you should be totally focused — but that’s easier said than done. Whether a lack of personal interest is keeping you from committing or distractions are coming from someone or something else, it can be hard to get in the zone. That zone, according to one productivity theory, is called deep work. Deep work is a concept first defined by Cal Newport, who wrote, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. If you can master it, you’ll get more done in less time, become a master of your work, and ultimately end up feeling more fulfilled as a result. Newport draws a distinction between deep work and shallow work, or that which can be accomplished while you’re distracted. The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. Creating a project deck is deep work. Emailing colleagues to coordinate data for it is shallow work. If you’re having a hard time achieving deep work, Newport has some guidelines. The key is first sorting your work into deep and shallow categories. Determine which of your tasks are cognitively demanding and valuable and which are “logistical-style” and replicable. Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule. Finally, when the time comes to get into deep work, eliminate all your distractions. Signal that you’re busy, make sure you’re unavailable on the shared calendar, and put your phone on “do not disturb.” Don’t check emails, don’t talk to anyone, don’t look at your devices for anything but work, and commit to only working on your demanding task in the time you allotted for it. 9．What is deep work according to Cal Newport? 10．What is the difference between deep work and shallow work? 11．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. 12．In what other way(s) can you boost deep work as a student?(In about 40 words) 【答案】9．Deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. 10．Deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. 或 Deep work is cognitively demanding and valuable, while shallow work is “logistical-style” and replicable. 11．To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep-work tasks. 12．【Possible Version 1: 回答2个ways】 First, I would use a timer to schedule 25- minute blocks of pure deep work, followed by short breaks, which systematically strengthens my focus endurance. Second, I would tackle my most demanding task at my daily peak — early morning — when my mind is freshest, safeguarding this prime time for intense concentration rather than shallow work.(54 words) 【Possible Version 2: 回答1个 way】 I would establish a“ focus ritual” that combines environmental and mental preparation by clearing my desk, setting a clear goal for each session, and spending two minutes in quiet breathing to center my attention. Repeating this before every study block conditions my mind to transition into high concentration, which makes deep work a reliable habit.(55 words) 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“深度工作”这一概念及其与“浅层工作”的区别，并给出了实现深度工作的建议。 9．考查细节理解。根据第二段“As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way.(正如他所说，深度工作是指能够完全专注于一项要求苛刻的任务，而不让干扰分散你的注意力。)”可知，深度工作是指能够完全专注于一项要求苛刻的任务，而不让干扰分散注意力的能力。故答案是：Deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way.。 10．考查细节理解。根据第三段“The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work.(这两者的区别在于，深度工作适用于“认知要求高”的任务，而浅层工作则是你为进行深度工作所做的准备工作。)”可知，深度工作适用于“认知要求高”的任务，而浅层工作则是你为进行深度工作所做的准备工作。或者也可以说，深度工作是认知要求高且有价值的，而浅层工作是“后勤式”且可复制的。故答案是：Deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work.或Deep work is cognitively demanding and valuable, while shallow work is “logistical-style” and replicable.。 11．考查细节理解。根据第四段“Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule.(接下来，计划花一个小时或一个半小时在深度工作任务上，然后安排好时间，这样你就可以在日程安排中留出这段时间。)”可知，“spend more time on deep work”这部分是错误的，因为原文建议我们计划花一个小时或一个半小时在深度工作上，而不是花更多的时间。因此，本小题应划线的部分为：spend more time on deep work；原因解释为：According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks.。故答案是：To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. According to the passage, we need to plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks. 12．考查开放性试题。作为学生，提高深度工作能力的方法有很多，以下给出两个版本供参考：版本一：首先，我会使用计时器来安排25分钟的纯深度工作时间块，然后进行短暂的休息，这样可以系统地增强我的专注力耐力。其次，我会在每天精力最充沛的时候——早上——处理我最具挑战性的任务，保护这段黄金时间用于深度集中注意力，而不是浅层工作。版本二：我会建立一个“专注仪式”，结合环境和心理准备，清理我的书桌，为每个学习时段设定一个明确的目标，并花两分钟安静地呼吸来集中注意力。在每次学习前重复这个仪式，可以训练我的大脑过渡到高度集中的状态，使深度工作成为一种可靠的习惯。故答案是：【Possible Version 1: 回答2个ways】First, I would use a timer to schedule 25- minute blocks of pure deep work, followed by short breaks, which systematically strengthens my focus endurance. Second, I would tackle my most demanding task at my daily peak — early morning — when my mind is freshest, safeguarding this prime time for intense concentration rather than shallow work. (54 words) 【Possible Version 2: 回答1个 way】I would establish a “focus ritual” that combines environmental and mental preparation by clearing my desk, setting a clear goal for each session, and spending two minutes in quiet breathing to center my attention. Repeating this before every study block conditions my mind to transition into high concentration, which makes deep work a reliable habit.

I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises. Mia, however, does not exist in real life: It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect (学徒效应).” According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools. Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart. Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests. Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. When we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information, we will make a greater effort to deepen our understanding. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned. 13．What is protege effect? 14．Why was Martin’s technique spread to many schools? Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. 15．According to the protege effect, the method of self study helps us perform better on tests. 16．How can you put the “protege effect” into practice in your daily life? (In about 40 words) 【答案】13．It is a phenomenon that we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored, even if that person doesn’t really exist. 14．Because it boosted students’ motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities. 15．According to the protege effect, the method of self study helps us perform better on tests. According to the experiment, students in the teaching role performed much better on tests than those who did self-study, so self-study is not the effective method in the protege effect. 16．In my daily life, I can practice the protege effect by explaining new knowledge or skills to my friends or family members. This not only helps them understand but also reinforces my own learning. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“学徒效应”及其作用和实践方式。 13．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“Mia, however, does not exist in real life: It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect (学徒效应).” According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist.(不过，米娅在现实中并不存在：它是我为了利用一种名为“学徒效应”的现象而创建的人工智能。研究表明，当我们把刚学到的内容教给别人时 —— 即便那个人并不真实存在 —— 我们自己的学习效果会更好。)”和最后一段中“Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times.(Chase将这种现象命名为“学徒效应”，此后该实验被多次重复验证。)”可知，学徒效应是指当我们向别人教授我们刚刚探索的主题时，我们会学得更有效，即使那个人并不真正存在。故答案为：It is a phenomenon that we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored, even if that person doesn’t really exist. 14．考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools.(为了提高学生的语言学习能力，他让他们研究并向同学展示课程的不同部分。这项技术提高了他们的学习动力、自信心和沟通能力，并很快传播到许多其他学校。)”可知，Martin的方法被传播到许多学校是因为它提高了学生的学习动力、自信心和沟通能力。故答案为：Because it boosted students’ motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities. 15．考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests.(一半的青少年进行自学形式的练习，而另一半则被告知他们的图表将有助于教授一个虚拟角色。最后，那些扮演教学角色的青少年学到了更多的材料，在考试中的表现也更好。)”可知，根据学徒效应，是教授别人而不是自学的方法有助于我们在考试中表现得更好。因此，“the method of self study helps us perform better on tests”是错误的。故答案为：According to the protege effect, the method of self study helps us perform better on tests. According to the experiment, students in the teaching role performed much better on tests than those who did self-study, so self-study is not the effective method in the protege effect. 16．开放性题目，此题要求回答：你如何在日常生活中实践“学徒效应”？答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：在日常生活中，我可以通过向朋友或家人解释新知识或技能来练习学徒效应。这不仅有助于他们理解，也加强了我自己的学习。故答案为：In my daily life, I can practice the protege effect by explaining new knowledge or skills to my friends or family members. This not only helps them understand but also reinforces my own learning. Text 15 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答 【北京市海淀区2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试】Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off. As a schoolboy, I felt like the least interesting person on Earth. No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students. Since I could not fit in, I chose silence — even though I had so much to say. Toward the end of my freshman year, something changed. After holding everything in for too long, the pressure built until I couldn’t take it. Like a bear that had been poked one too many times, my inner bear finally roared. I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in. I decided I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore. I joined my high school’s media club, where for the first time I had friends and a sense of belonging. That was when I discovered the world of podcasting. During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew. Later, I started my own podcast — Autism rocks and Rolls. At first, it was just a way to use my voice. But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too. I’ve had listeners tell me they found themselves nodding along while listening. It means understanding. It means someone out there gets it, and that’s powerful. The podcast has now reached places I never expected. I’ve interviewed celebrities and leading experts, delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world. The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. Back then, I never imagined my voice would reach this far. Thinking no one was listening, for years, I held everything in. But once the bear found its voice, I didn’t go back into hiding. I kept speaking, and now I have a platform where others can roar too. There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. Someone will get you. It may not be who you expect, and it may take time, but someone will. Keep going. Keep speaking. You will be heard. 17．What made the author feel excluded as a schoolboy? 18．How did the author’s early podcasting experience benefit him? 19．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. 20．From this story, what can you learn about growth? (In about 40 words) 【答案】17．No one seemed to understand him, and people were uncomfortable with him being different. 18．He learnt about recording, editing and creating. He also felt a sense of self-worth, and his confidence grew. 19．For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. According to the passage, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is knowing that he’s opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. 20．From this story I know that growth means accepting one’s differences, daring to speak up, and not giving up. Even if you feel unheard at first, persistence will help you find your platform and be understood. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从自闭到通过播客发声的成长历程。 17．考查细节理解。由文章第一段“Growing up, I was different. When I was four, I was officially diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off.(在成长过程中，我与众不同。当我四岁的时候，我被正式诊断为自闭症。在那之前，我患有多动症和花生过敏。我是一个说话晚的人。我讨厌吵闹。日常生活中的任何变化都让我感到厌烦)”和第二段中“No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students.(似乎没有人理解我，人们对我的与众不同感到不舒服。我觉得其他学生排挤了我)”可知，作者作为学生时感到被排挤是因为没有人理解他，人们对他的与众不同感到不舒服。故答案为No one seemed to understand him, and people were uncomfortable with him being different. 18．考查细节理解。由文章第四段中“During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew.(在早期的播客体验中，我学习了录音、编辑和创作。还有一件事也发生了变化——我有了自我价值感，我的信心也增强了)”可知，作者早期的播客经历让他学会了录音、编辑和创作，并且让他有了自我价值感，信心也增强了。故答案为He learnt about recording, editing and creating. He also felt a sense of self-worth, and his confidence grew. 19．考查细节理解。由文章第六段中“The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard.(不过，最让我感到满足的是，我知道我正在让人们听到并理解那些一直被忽视的人的声音)”可知，对于作者来说，播客经历中最有收获的部分是知道他正在让人们听到并理解那些一直被忽视的人的声音，而不是仅仅用它来表达自己的声音。错误的部分是“it is a way to use his voice”，故答案为For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. According to the passage, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is knowing that he’s opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. 20．开放性题目，此题要求回答：从这个故事中，你能学到什么关于成长的知识？（约40字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：这告诉我们成长是一个不断发现自我、表达自我并影响他人的过程。即使面临困难，只要坚持并表达自己，总会有人听到并理解你的声音。故答案为From this story I know that growth means accepting one’s differences, daring to speak up, and not giving up.

The Internet has, in a relatively short span of time, completely revolutionized how we communicate with each other, exchange information and conduct business. Unfortunately, due to its wide reach and relative privacy, the Internet has become very attractive to criminals. 16 In order to address this issue and avoid becoming a victim, we need to develop an awareness of cybercrime. 17 Phishing (网络钓鱼) is one of the most common types of cybercrime. When clicking on links to dangerous websites or software, you may be fooled into providing personal information such as passwords, usernames or financial details. Malware (恶意软件), another form of cybercrime, can cause damage or gain illegal access to a computer or network. Cybercriminals trick you into parting with your money, infecting your computer with a virus to steal your personal data, or blocking you from accessing your own data until a ransom (赎金) is paid. For example, in 2021, a computer manufacturer suffered a ransomware attack. Cybercriminals took advantage of a weakness in a server, accessed the company's files and demanded a large sum of money. Fortunately, you can take preventive measures to reduce your chances of falling victim to such cybercrimes. 18 Do not provide personal information on a website you know nothing about, especially those that ask for your name, mailing address and bank account number. To avoid getting taken in, be cautious about advertisements offering bargains and rewards that seem too good to be true. And, of course, do not open email attachments or click on links from unknown sources, no matter how curious you might be. Secondly, you can turn to technical defenses to protect yourself from cybercrime. Turn on your spam (垃圾邮件) blocker to prevent unwanted messages from getting to your inbox. 19 It is also a good idea to keep your software and operating system up to date by downloading and installing the latest security patches. So, next time you go online, never drop your guard. 20 A．Stay alert, smart and safe! B．Cybercrime can come in many different forms. C．Firstly, you need to stay alert when using the Internet. D．Keeping a close eye on your personal information is a must. E．There are cases where people suffered both financially and mentally. F．Consequently, cybercrime has become a huge problem in recent years. G．Make sure you have reliable antivirus software and always keep it turned on. Text 02 【湖南省长沙市天心区长郡中学2025-2026学年高三上学期12月月考】You may have caught yourself talking to yourself, whether it’s reminding yourself about tasks or processing your emotions out loud. This simple habit often feels comforting and can be incredibly useful. After all, sometimes your own voice is your biggest motivator. Why People Talk to Themselves Talking to yourself might seem strange. 16 It’s more than perfectly normal — in fact, it can serve as a powerful mental strategy. 17 It can operate like a thermostat (恒温器), influencing the temperature of your emotions. External self-talk can also help you move towards your goals, give yourself feedback, and assist with analyzing challenging tasks. Some people also use it to prepare what they want to say ahead of time. The Benefits of Talking to Yourself 18 One benefit of external self-talk is that it can improve the relationship you have with yourself. Instead of asking others for answers all the time, talking to yourself helps you hear what you really want and make your own choices. Talking to yourself is a way to admit you are in charge as an adult. Trusting yourself is a key factor for building self-worth and tuning out other noises. Create space for curiosity. Talking to yourself creates a suitable environment for self-inquiry. When you communicate with yourself with curiosity, you will become more aware of and understand yourself clearly. 19 For example, you can ask yourself some questions to gain a deeper understanding of your inner world, or you can try a journaling method — write down your thoughts and answers, then read those answers out loud. So remember, even if talking to yourself feels a little odd, it comes with big benefits. Start small and ask yourself how you feel and why, and don’t be afraid to voice your thoughts out loud. 20 A．Regulate emotions. B．Boost self-worth. C．In fact, this way of self-inquiry can be very simple. D．However, there are a variety of reasons why people do it. E．Self-inquiry requires quite complex steps every now and then. F．Talking to yourself isn’t just common chatter — it’s a practical technique. G．This powerful practice could make a big difference in your mental wellness. Text 03 【2026届广东省深圳高级中学高三上学期第二次诊断性】Over the last 60 years, many spacecraft have flown by, orbited and even landed on Mars. But human explorers could work faster and be more flexible than machines. Setting foot on Mars would be a major milestone in space exploration. 16 However, it is difficult to survive this adventure. First, a roundtrip to Mars causes many extra health risks. For one thing, floating in microgravity for long periods weakens bones and muscles. For another, it allows fluid to build up in the head. 17 Luckily, artificial gravity machines could help. Then there’s space radiation to worry about. The Earth’s magnetic field protects astronauts near Earth from high-energy cosmic (宇宙的) rays. Those cosmic rays might raise the risk of cancer and other health problems. 18 This increases the risk of developing the diseases. Taking certain vitamins could reduce the impacts. 19 Since astronauts can’t carry construction materials from Earth, scientists are dreaming up ways for astronauts to use materials on Mars. Long-term visitors would also need plenty of oxygen to breathe. A device on NASA’s Perseverance rover is currently laying the groundwork for a future Mars oxygen factory. Planning a trip to Mars isn’t just about keeping astronauts safe. 20 Humans are filled with microbes (微生物). And spreading those microbes could be bad for the search for life on Mars. As a result, a key part of responsible space exploration is making sure Earth bacteria don’t infect other planets. A．Exploring space always comes with risks. B．It also involves protecting Mars from astronauts. C．They can’t restock like astronauts on the space station do. D．On longer journeys astronauts would face prolonged exposure. E．That’s why certain nations are interested in dispatching humans to Mars. F．This can lead to increased pressure in the eyes and result in vision complications. G．Establishing and surviving in a Mars colony would present numerous challenges. Text 04 【2025届江苏省南通第一中学高三上学期第一次模拟考试】 We get frustrated (沮丧的) all the time: The scale won’t budge, the line won’t move and the WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is stitched into daily life. 16 Learning to reframe this universal emotion may be the key. Here’s how. Acknowledge roadblocks as normal. The first step is being aware that everything comes with hardships — whether improving your work, picking up a new hobby or skill, or even re-learning that skill you once mastered. 17 If you keep this in mind ahead of time, you can anticipate the roadblocks. Shift the viewpoint on frustration. Instead of seeing frustration as failure, regard it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. Think of adaptive academic tests, which intentionally increase difficulty with students’ progress. They make frustration part of the design. 18 Regulate emotions in the moment. 19 Research suggests that doing it in urgent situations can be beneficial, though. If you’ re overwhelmingly frustrated, you can’t act. A temporary control — maybe a deep breath, a silent count to five, or a quick tightening of fists — can free up the cognitive resources that are needed to solve the problem. 20 Not all emotional release serves the same purpose. An angry outburst can harm interpersonal bonds, but sharing your feelings thoughtfully with someone you trust can restore your sense of perspective. This deliberate approach helps manage emotional intensity and provides valuable context. When a problem feels overwhelming, another person can often help you view it from a newer, more manageable angle. A．Help others through their frustrations. B．Channel your frustration constructively. C．Any behavioral change means things won’t feel right. D．Holding feelings back for a long time hurts physically and mentally. E．To benefit from frustration, apply academic tests to future challenges. F．Though often seen as destructive, frustration has its unexpected benefits. G．That struggle doesn’t mean you’re failing, but proving you’re moving ahead. Text 05 【江苏省扬州中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月阶段性测试】One of the most common mistakes people make when trying to improve their health is attempting too many sudden and great changes. Crash diets, extreme workout plans, or sudden sleep adjustments often fail because they’re unsustainable. 16 Here are some practical yet powerful tips to help you: Start with small, achievable goals. 17 For example, they hope to run 5 miles daily without prior training. Instead, they should begin with manageable steps — take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do 10 minutes of stretching each morning. These minor adjustments prevent burnout while steadily improving your strength and endurance. 18 Being too strict with what one eats often backfires. This often leads to quick weight regain and frustration. Instead of banning foods, focus on adding more whole, nutrient-rich options like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. For example, swap soda for sparkling water with lemon, or replace white bread with whole-grain alternatives. Small, sustainable changes lead to lasting results without the frustration of yo-yo dieting. Prioritize sleep for overall well-being. In today’s fast-paced world, sleep is often sacrificed for productivity or entertainment. 19 Sleep deprivation weakens immunity, increases stress hormones, and even contributes to weight gain. To improve sleep quality, establish a calming bedtime routine — dim the lights, avoid screens an hour before bed, and keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Stay active throughout the day. Sitting for long periods is linked to poor circulation, back pain, and metabolic issues. If you have a desk job, set reminders to stand up and move every hour. 20 Simple activities like walking during phone calls or doing light stretches can boost energy, improve posture, and enhance mental clarity.

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. 17 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. 18 However, they’re hearing it for the first time. Keep it simple. 19 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. 20       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.

Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments. 36 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. 37 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 38 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. 39 40 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.

Faced with minor illnesses like a persistent cough or headache, many of us now instinctively reach for our smartphones rather than the phone to book a doctor’s appointment. 16 This immediate access to a vast encyclopedia (百科全书) of medical knowledge makes healthcare appear more accessible than ever before. 17 The condition, known as “cyberchondria”, describes a state of health anxiety fueled by excessive online searching. The process often works like this: an individual researches a common symptom, only to find it could be linked to a severe illness. This can lead to self-misdiagnosis (自我误诊) and intense, unnecessary worry. 18 They advise the initial step in treatment is to drastically (极大地) reduce the patients’ internet browsing. While the web holds a wealth of information, it critically lacks professional judgment. A face-to-face consultation with a doctor provides not just a diagnosis, but also context, reassurance, and a tailored treatment plan. But a trend makes physicians feel challenged. They sometimes find patients arriving with printouts or descriptions of vague conditions they have self-diagnosed. 19 However, the internet is not solely a disruptive (破坏性的) force. As Professor Sue Ziebland from the University of Oxford has found through her research, online information is becoming a common part of patient-doctor dialogues. 20 This collaborative approach can lead to more informed discussions. Ultimately, it seems that while the virtual world can offer a helpful dose of information, the human medical expert remains irreplaceable for their experience and empathetic care. A．It can complicate the consultation process. B．Some apps even enable remote patient monitoring. C．Hence, building trusted medical websites is essential. D．Online resources offer instant guidance on all health issues. E．Experts find many such patients spend excessive time online. F．However, this convenience comes with a significant downside. G．Therefore, doctors now often discuss online findings with patients. Text 09 【江苏省南京市玄武区南京外国语学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月考】Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you’re studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a good start. Exploring the answers to this question can open windows to worlds you never knew existed. 16 You will find something here that will get you interested, or get you thinking about its significance. 17 History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper glimpse into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots can provide. History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living a long time ago. According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. 18 History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. 19 Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知). History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more. 20 It’s almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of related questions. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere for anybody. A．History grounds us in our roots. B．It stimulates a curiosity that pulls us deeper into the past. C．History is an essential part of human civilization. D．What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. E．Being empathetic means listening to and understanding someone else. F．It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures. G．Learning from our ancestors’ wisdom makes us better at handling life’s challenges.

Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people. Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. 17 . They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence. Adjust your strategy. 18 , so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master. 19 . Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance. Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. 20 . A．Accept the situation B．Consider what you can learn C．Catch yourself when you start to do this D．Sometimes you can’t leave the situation E．So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story F．Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help G．An impossible person is convinced that they have already made a mistake Text 11 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 【北京市东城区2025-2026学年高三上学期期未统一检测】History is full of stories suggesting that scientific breakthroughs happen suddenly, in a flash of inspiration. Perhaps the most famous of these concerns Isaac Newton, a physicist, who was supposedly sitting under a tree in his mother’s garden when an apple fell on his head. Thanks to this, Newton came up with his theory of gravity. Nearly two thousand years earlier, the mathematician and physicist Archimedes was struggling with a problem that nobody could find the answer to—how to accurately measure the volume of an object. When he noticed the water in his bathtub rising as he got in, the solution came to him. “Eureka” he reportedly declared, which means “I’ve found it” in Ancient Greek. Apparently, he was so excited by his discovery, which became very influential, that he jumped out of the bathtub and ran into the street to tell everyone! These two stories, both of which involve scientists suddenly solving problems that they’d been working on, have been told for centuries. People enjoy the simplicity of the stories when they think of the images of an apple falling from a tree or an old man jumping out of the bathtub. Perhaps the two stories even lead us to believe that we too can make great discoveries if we’re lucky enough to have our own “Eureka moment.” But, in reality, such discoveries usually follow years of hard work and serious scientific analysis, most of which isn’t of interest to people in the same way as the two stories mentioned previously. Recent studies suggest that effective problem-solving often requires two types of attention. The first stage is analytical thinking, which involves paying close attention to detail. This stage may take years or even decades. But there comes a point when we must step away from the problem and give it space and time. And it’s during this less focused stage, when we’re in the bathtub, or under an apple tree, that our “Eureka moments” are more likely to come. 1．When did Archimedes find the solution to the problem he was struggling with? 2．What do the two stories have in common? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. People are interested in Eureka stories because they admire the process of scientific discovery. 4．Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what else contributes to problem-solving?

This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly. However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more. In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate. We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower. It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce. 5．Why is buying local food promoted by campaigners? 6．What makes locally grown food use more energy than imported food? 7．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket. 8．Excluding environmental concerns, would you prefer to buy local food or imported food?

Whether a lack of personal interest is keeping you from committing or distractions are coming from someone or something else, it can be hard to get in the zone. That zone, according to one productivity theory, is called deep work. Deep work is a concept first defined by Cal Newport, who wrote, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World. As he tells it, deep work is the ability to focus completely on a demanding task, without letting distraction get in your way. If you can master it, you’ll get more done in less time, become a master of your work, and ultimately end up feeling more fulfilled as a result. Newport draws a distinction between deep work and shallow work, or that which can be accomplished while you’re distracted. The difference between these is that deep work is for “cognitively demanding” tasks, whereas shallow work is the sort of work you do that prepares you to do deep work. Creating a project deck is deep work. Emailing colleagues to coordinate data for it is shallow work. If you’re having a hard time achieving deep work, Newport has some guidelines. The key is first sorting your work into deep and shallow categories. Determine which of your tasks are cognitively demanding and valuable and which are “logistical-style” and replicable. Next, plan to devote an hour or an hour and a half to deep- work tasks, then schedule it out so you have that time blocked off in your schedule. Finally, when the time comes to get into deep work, eliminate all your distractions. Signal that you’re busy, make sure you’re unavailable on the shared calendar, and put your phone on “do not disturb.” Don’t check emails, don’t talk to anyone, don’t look at your devices for anything but work, and commit to only working on your demanding task in the time you allotted for it. 9．What is deep work according to Cal Newport? 10．What is the difference between deep work and shallow work? 11．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶To achieve deep work, we need to tell deep work from shallow work, spend more time on deep work and remove all distractions. 12．In what other way(s) can you boost deep work as a student?(In about 40 words) Text 14 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英语回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 【北京市通州区2025-2026学年高三上学期11月期中】Over breakfast this morning, I enjoyed a short chat with Mia, my new Spanish study buddy. I explained what I had learned about the psychology of happiness from a Spanish-language podcast. By the end of the ten-minute conversation, I felt that I had mastered more of the language than if I’d done an hour of textbook exercises. Mia, however, does not exist in real life: It is an AI that I created to take advantage of a phenomenon called the “protege effect (学徒效应).” According to research, we learn more effectively when we teach someone else about the topic we’ve just explored — even if that person doesn’t really exist. The effect has its roots in the principle of “learning by teaching,” pioneered in the early 1980s by Jean-Pol Martin, a French teacher working in Germany. To improve his students’ language learning, he had them research and present different parts of the curriculum to their classmates. The technique boosted their motivation, self-confidence, and communicative abilities, and it soon spread to many other schools. Later, a group of Stanford scientists tested the idea. In a pioneering experiment, Catherine Chase asked 62 eighth-graders to use a computer program to study how fever affects the body. Over two lessons, the students had to read a text and then create a flowchart. Half the teens did the exercise as a form of self-study, while the others were told that their diagram would help to teach a virtual character. At the end, those in the teaching role had learned considerably more of the material, with much stronger performance on tests. Chase named this the protege effect, and it has since been replicated (复制) many times. These later studies suggest that learning by teaching is more powerful than other memory techniques. When we feel a sense of responsibility to provide the right information, we will make a greater effort to deepen our understanding. This process then helps to enhance what we have learned. 13．What is protege effect? 14．Why was Martin’s technique spread to many schools? Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. 15．According to the protege effect, the method of self study helps us perform better on tests. 16．How can you put the “protege effect” into practice in your daily life?

Before that, I had ADHD and a peanut allergy. I was a late talker. I hated loud noises. Any changes in routine completely threw me off. As a schoolboy, I felt like the least interesting person on Earth. No one seemed to understand me, and people were uncomfortable with me being different. I felt excluded by other students. Since I could not fit in, I chose silence — even though I had so much to say. Toward the end of my freshman year, something changed. After holding everything in for too long, the pressure built until I couldn’t take it. Like a bear that had been poked one too many times, my inner bear finally roared. I was done trying to please others or shrinking myself to fit in. I decided I wasn’t going to stay quiet anymore. I joined my high school’s media club, where for the first time I had friends and a sense of belonging. That was when I discovered the world of podcasting. During this early podcasting experience, I learnt about recording, editing and creating. Something else also changed — I felt a sense of self-worth, and my confidence grew. Later, I started my own podcast — Autism rocks and Rolls. At first, it was just a way to use my voice. But I quickly realized I was speaking up for others too. I’ve had listeners tell me they found themselves nodding along while listening. It means understanding. It means someone out there gets it, and that’s powerful. The podcast has now reached places I never expected. I’ve interviewed celebrities and leading experts, delivered a TEDx Talk and connected with thousands of listeners around the world. The most fulfilling part, though, is knowing that I’m opening people’s ears and minds to those who have been unheard. Back then, I never imagined my voice would reach this far. Thinking no one was listening, for years, I held everything in. But once the bear found its voice, I didn’t go back into hiding. I kept speaking, and now I have a platform where others can roar too. There are more than 8 billion people on the planet. Someone will get you. It may not be who you expect, and it may take time, but someone will. Keep going. Keep speaking. You will be heard. 17．What made the author feel excluded as a schoolboy? 18．How did the author’s early podcasting experience benefit him? 19．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶For the author, the most rewarding part of the podcasting experience is that it is a way to use his voice. 20．From this story, what can you learn about growth?
