Passage1
The Pomodoro Technique: A Timer for Better Learning
番茄工作法:计时器助力高效学习
Do you often feel distracted when studying? You are not alone. Many students find it hard to focus. The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo, might be the helper you need. It uses a timer to break work into short intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a “pomodoro”, the Italian word for ‘tomato’, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used.
Why does it work? First, it makes a big task feel smaller and less scary. Telling yourself “I just need to focus for 25 minutes” is much easier than thinking about hours of study. Second, the promised short breaks reward your brain and help you stay fresh. During the break, stand up, stretch, or look outside—but don’t check your phone!
Here is how you can start:
1. Choose a Task: Decide on one thing to work on, like finishing your math homework.
2. Set the Timer: Set a timer for 25 minutes. Promise yourself not to do anything else during this time.
3. Work Until the Timer Rings: Focus completely. If you think of something else, just write it down and go back to your task.
4. Take a Short Break: When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. After four “pomodoros”, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
Students like Li Hua have found it helpful. “I used to procrastinate a lot,” he says. “Now, the timer gives me a clear start and finish line. I get more done and feel less tired.”
The Pomodoro Technique is more than a time management tool. It trains your brain to focus and helps you understand how long tasks really take. This makes you a more planned and confident learner.
Try it for one day. You might find that the simplest tool—a timer—can be the key to becoming a better learner.
学习时是否常感分心?你并非特例。许多学生都难以集中注意力。由弗朗切斯科·齐里罗创立的“番茄工作法”,或许正是你所需的助手。该方法运用计时器,将工作划分为多个短时段——传统上每段25分钟,并以短暂休息间隔。每个时段被称为一个“番茄钟”(pomodoro),此意大利语词汇意为“番茄”,得名于齐里罗所使用的番茄形状厨房计时器。
其何以奏效?首先,它使庞大的任务显得更小、更易应对。告诉自己“只需专注25分钟”,远比顾虑长达数小时的学习更为轻松。其次,预先设定的短暂休息能犒劳你的大脑,有助于保持思维敏捷。休息期间,请起身、伸展或眺望窗外——但切勿查看手机!
以下是入门步骤:
1. 选择任务:确定一项待办事项,例如完成数学作业。
2. 设定计时:将计时器设为25分钟。承诺自己在此期间不处理其他事务。
3. 专注至铃响:全神贯注投入。若想起其他事项,仅需简略记录并即刻回归任务。
4. 短暂休息:计时器响后,进行5分钟休息。完成四个“番茄钟”后,可享受15-30分钟的较长休整。
李华等学生已从中获益。“我曾严重拖延,”他坦言,“如今计时器为我划定了清晰的起止线。我效率提升,疲惫感却减轻了。”
番茄工作法不仅是时间管理工具,更能训练大脑专注力,助你真切感知任务耗时。这将使你成长为更有规划、更具信心的学习者。
不妨尝试一日。你或会发现,最简单的工具——一枚计时器——正是成为更优学习者的关键所在。
【长难句分析】
1. "The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo, might be the helper you need."
翻译:由弗朗切斯科·齐里罗创立的“番茄工作法”,或许正是你所需要的帮手。
重点:过去分词短语"created by Francesco Cirillo"作后置定语,修饰主语"The Pomodoro Technique";
句子末尾的"you need"是省略了关系代词的定语从句,修饰"the helper"。
2. "Telling yourself 'I just need to focus for 25 minutes' is much easier than thinking about hours of study."
翻译:告诉自己“我只需要专注25分钟”,远比想着要学习好几个小时容易得多。
重点:动名词短语"Telling yourself..."作句子主语;"much easier than..."构成比较结构,
对比两个动名词短语所表示的行为。
3. "You might find that the simplest tool—a timer—can be the key to becoming a better learner."
翻译:你可能会发现,最简单的工具——一个计时器——可以成为成为更优秀学习者的关键。
重点:宾语从句"that the simplest tool...can be the key..."作动词find的宾语;破折号之间的"a timer"是
插入语,对"the simplest tool"进行同位解释;"the key to becoming..."中,介词to后接动名词短语。

Passage2
Your Phone: A Study Tool or a Distraction?
手机:是学习利器,还是干扰之源?
For most students, a smartphone is a double-edged sword. It can be a source of endless entertainment and a powerful learning tool at the same time.
对大多数学生而言,智能手机是一把双刃剑。它既是无尽娱乐的源泉,同时也可以成为强大的学习工具。
The key is intentional use.
关键在于有意识的使用。
To turn your phone into a study buddy, try these tips:
若想将手机变为学习伙伴,不妨试试以下建议:
Use Focus Apps: Apps like Forest or Focus To-Do can help. You set a timer to grow a virtual tree or complete a task. If you use your phone for other things, the tree dies. This makes staying focused a fun game.
使用专注类应用:像 Forest 或 Focus To-Do 这类应用会有所帮助。你设定一个计时器来培育一棵虚拟树或完成一项任务。如果你用手机做别的事情,树就会枯死。这让保持专注变成一场有趣的游戏。
Control Notifications: Go to your settings and turn off non-urgent notifications during study hours. Every “ding” pulls your attention away.
控制通知:进入手机设置,在学习时段关闭非紧急通知。每一声“叮”响都会分散你的注意力。
Find Learning Content: Instead of only watching funny videos, follow educational channels. You can learn about science experiments, English pronunciation, or history stories.
寻找学习内容:不要只看搞笑视频,可以关注一些教育类频道。你能学到科学实验、英语发音或历史故事。
Organize Digitally: Use note-taking apps to write down ideas or record voice notes. Use calendar apps to plan your study schedule.
数字化组织:使用笔记应用记录想法或录制语音备忘;使用日历应用来规划学习日程。
Remember, you control the phone, not the other way around. Setting clear rules for yourself, like “no phone during the 25-minute study sessions”, is a step toward becoming a more independent learner.
请记住,是你掌控手机,而非被手机掌控。为自己设定明确的规则,例如“在25分钟的学习时段内不看手机”,就是迈向成为更独立自主学习者的一步。
Zhang Mei, a ninth-grader, shares her change: “I decided to charge my phone outside my bedroom at night. Now I read a book before sleep and feel more energetic in the morning. My phone is a tool I use, not a habit that controls me.”
九年级学生张梅分享了她的改变:“我决定晚上把手机放在卧室外充电。现在睡前我会读一会儿书,早上感觉更有活力了。手机是我使用的工具,而不是控制我的习惯。”
Think about it: Is your phone helping your dreams or stealing your time? The answer depends on the choices you make every time you pick it up.
想一想:你的手机是在助力你的梦想,还是在窃取你的时间?答案取决于你每次拿起它时所作的选择。
Start today by deleting one distracting app or trying one focus app. Be the boss of your technology, and watch your study power grow.
从今天开始,删除一个让你分心的应用,或尝试一个专注应用。做你科技设备的主人,见证你学习效能的增长。
【长难句分析】
1. 句子: For most students, a smartphone is a double-edged sword. It can be a source of endless entertainment and a powerful learning tool at the same time.
翻译: 对大多数学生而言,智能手机是一把双刃剑。它既是无尽娱乐的源泉,同时也可以成为强大的学习工具。
分析: 这是一个由两个简单句构成的语意群。核心在于隐喻“a double-edged sword”(双刃剑),
后一句用“and”连接两个并列的名词短语,具体解释其双重性。
2. 句子: Setting clear rules for yourself, like “no phone during the 25-minute study sessions”, is a step toward becoming a more independent learner.
翻译: 为自己设定明确的规则,例如“在25分钟的学习时段内不看手机”,就是迈向成为更独立自主学习者的一步。
分析: 本句为主系表结构。动名词短语“Setting clear rules for yourself”作主语;“is”是系动词;“a step”为表语。其中“like...”是插入语,举例说明规则内容;“toward becoming...”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰“a step”。

Passage1
(2025·山东菏泽·中考真题)In the fall of 2022, my husband got a chance to spend three years in Nanjing teaching international law. When we got to China, I began to study Chinese. It was really hard for me to speak putonghua.
For me, it wasn’t the grammar. “I want to buy this book” is pretty straightforward: “我想买这本书”. And I could memorize lots of Chinese characters (hanzi). However, many words sound alike but mean something different. Take the sound “jiàn” for example, it always leaves me guessing-the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)?
Then, somewhere along the way, I started talking to people around me in Chinese. I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio. Gradually I could listen to songs and understand the lyrics without looking them up. I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary.
Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I'm finding my Chinese has improved. I search Baidu maps in Chinese, keep my mobile phone Contacts in Chinese, and send WeChat messages to Chinese friends in Chinese. But mostly, I don’t worry about my performance anymore and enjoy every experience to speak Chinese. Every language is different. For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is to enjoy living in China.
1.When did the writer start to learn Chinese?
A.In 2022. B.In 2023. C.In 2024.
2.Why does the writer take the sound “jiàn” for example?
A.To compare different meanings of the same word.
B.To encourage foreigners to memorize Chinese characters.
C.To show many words sound alike but have different meanings.
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.No rules, no order. B.Practice makes perfect. C.The written word remains.
4.What is the secret to Chinese learning for the writer?
A.Enjoying living in China. B.Using mobile phones more. C.Studying the grammar hard.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.A

The Pomodoro Technique: A Timer for Better Learning
番茄工作法:计时器助力高效学习
Do you often feel distracted when studying? You are not alone. Many students find it hard to focus. The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo, might be the helper you need. It uses a timer to break work into short intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a “pomodoro”, the Italian word for ‘tomato’, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used.
Why does it work? First, it makes a big task feel smaller and less scary. Telling yourself “I just need to focus for 25 minutes” is much easier than thinking about hours of study. Second, the promised short breaks reward your brain and help you stay fresh. During the break, stand up, stretch, or look outside—but don’t check your phone!
Here is how you can start:
1. Choose a Task: Decide on one thing to work on, like finishing your math homework.
2. Set the Timer: Set a timer for 25 minutes. Promise yourself not to do anything else during this time.
3. Work Until the Timer Rings: Focus completely. If you think of something else, just write it down and go back to your task.
4. Take a Short Break: When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. After four “pomodoros”, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.
Students like Li Hua have found it helpful. “I used to procrastinate a lot,” he says. “Now, the timer gives me a clear start and finish line. I get more done and feel less tired.”
The Pomodoro Technique is more than a time management tool. It trains your brain to focus and helps you understand how long tasks really take. This makes you a more planned and confident learner.
Try it for one day. You might find that the simplest tool—a timer—can be the key to becoming a better learner.
学习时是否常感分心?你并非特例。许多学生都难以集中注意力。由弗朗切斯科·齐里罗创立的“番茄工作法”,或许正是你所需的助手。该方法运用计时器,将工作划分为多个短时段——传统上每段25分钟,并以短暂休息间隔。每个时段被称为一个“番茄钟”(pomodoro),此意大利语词汇意为“番茄”,得名于齐里罗所使用的番茄形状厨房计时器。
其何以奏效?首先,它使庞大的任务显得更小、更易应对。告诉自己“只需专注25分钟”,远比顾虑长达数小时的学习更为轻松。其次,预先设定的短暂休息能犒劳你的大脑,有助于保持思维敏捷。休息期间,请起身、伸展或眺望窗外——但切勿查看手机!
以下是入门步骤:
1. 选择任务:确定一项待办事项,例如完成数学作业。
2. 设定计时:将计时器设为25分钟。承诺自己在此期间不处理其他事务。
3. 专注至铃响:全神贯注投入。若想起其他事项,仅需简略记录并即刻回归任务。
4. 短暂休息:计时器响后,进行5分钟休息。完成四个“番茄钟”后,可享受15-30分钟的较长休整。
李华等学生已从中获益。“我曾严重拖延,”他坦言,“如今计时器为我划定了清晰的起止线。我效率提升,疲惫感却减轻了。”
番茄工作法不仅是时间管理工具,更能训练大脑专注力,助你真切感知任务耗时。这将使你成长为更有规划、更具信心的学习者。
不妨尝试一日。你或会发现,最简单的工具——一枚计时器——正是成为更优学习者的关键所在。

Your Phone: A Study Tool or a Distraction?
手机:是学习利器,还是干扰之源?
For most students, a smartphone is a double-edged sword. It can be a source of endless entertainment and a powerful learning tool at the same time.
对大多数学生而言,智能手机是一把双刃剑。它既是无尽娱乐的源泉,同时也可以成为强大的学习工具。
The key is intentional use.
关键在于有意识的使用。
To turn your phone into a study buddy, try these tips:
若想将手机变为学习伙伴,不妨试试以下建议:
Use Focus Apps: Apps like Forest or Focus To-Do can help. You set a timer to grow a virtual tree or complete a task. If you use your phone for other things, the tree dies. This makes staying focused a fun game.
使用专注类应用:像 Forest 或 Focus To-Do 这类应用会有所帮助。你设定一个计时器来培育一棵虚拟树或完成一项任务。如果你用手机做别的事情,树就会枯死。这让保持专注变成一场有趣的游戏。
Control Notifications: Go to your settings and turn off non-urgent notifications during study hours. Every “ding” pulls your attention away.
控制通知:进入手机设置,在学习时段关闭非紧急通知。每一声“叮”响都会分散你的注意力。
Find Learning Content: Instead of only watching funny videos, follow educational channels. You can learn about science experiments, English pronunciation, or history stories.
寻找学习内容:不要只看搞笑视频,可以关注一些教育类频道。你能学到科学实验、英语发音或历史故事。
Organize Digitally: Use note-taking apps to write down ideas or record voice notes. Use calendar apps to plan your study schedule.
数字化组织:使用笔记应用记录想法或录制语音备忘;使用日历应用来规划学习日程。
Remember, you control the phone, not the other way around. Setting clear rules for yourself, like “no phone during the 25-minute study sessions”, is a step toward becoming a more independent learner.
请记住,是你掌控手机,而非被手机掌控。为自己设定明确的规则,例如“在25分钟的学习时段内不看手机”,就是迈向成为更独立自主学习者的一步。
Zhang Mei, a ninth-grader, shares her change: “I decided to charge my phone outside my bedroom at night. Now I read a book before sleep and feel more energetic in the morning. My phone is a tool I use, not a habit that controls me.”
九年级学生张梅分享了她的改变:“我决定晚上把手机放在卧室外充电。现在睡前我会读一会儿书,早上感觉更有活力了。手机是我使用的工具,而不是控制我的习惯。”
Think about it: Is your phone helping your dreams or stealing your time? The answer depends on the choices you make every time you pick it up.
想一想:你的手机是在助力你的梦想,还是在窃取你的时间?答案取决于你每次拿起它时所作的选择。
Start today by deleting one distracting app or trying one focus app. Be the boss of your technology, and watch your study power grow.
从今天开始,删除一个让你分心的应用,或尝试一个专注应用。做你科技设备的主人,见证你学习效能的增长。

翻译: 对大多数学生而言,智能手机是一把双刃剑。它既是无尽娱乐的源泉,同时也可以成为强大的学习工具。

分析: 本句为主系表结构。动名词短语“Setting clear rules for yourself”作主语;“is”是系动词;“a step”为表语。其中“like...”是插入语,举例说明规则内容;“toward becoming...”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰“a step”。

Passage1

For me, it wasn’t the grammar. “I want to buy this book” is pretty straightforward: “我想买这本书”. And I could memorize lots of Chinese characters (hanzi). However, many words sound alike but mean something different. Take the sound “jiàn” for example, it always leaves me guessing-the warship (舰) or the arrow (箭), to meet (见) or to build (建)?
Then, somewhere along the way, I started talking to people around me in Chinese. I tried to communicate with the women in the markets about how to cook vegetables. Sometimes I talked to taxi drivers about the songs on the radio. Gradually I could listen to songs and understand the lyrics without looking them up. I finally reached the point where I could enjoy living in China without using a dictionary.
Now, as our year is up and we pack up to leave, I'm finding my Chinese has improved. I search Baidu maps in Chinese, keep my mobile phone Contacts in Chinese, and send WeChat messages to Chinese friends in Chinese. But mostly, I don’t worry about my performance anymore and enjoy every experience to speak Chinese. Every language is different. For me, finally, I’ve learned that the key to learning Chinese is to enjoy living in China.
