In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 11 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 12 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract questions. 13 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 14 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 15 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, practice developing your own questions. B．So, respond to the questions related to your own life. C．Additionally, people who ask questions are very confident. D．You can develop questions in three steps when you read a new text. E．Question-asking activities are beneficial for students in many ways. F．The ability to ask abstract questions is related to higher-order thinking quality. G．Meanwhile, you’ve practiced critical thinking by connecting information to yourself. 【答案】11．E 12．C 13．D 14．G 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章指出学生需培养批判性思维，提问是方式之一，介绍了提问好处、步骤及自主提问重要性。 11．根据上文“One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask.(培养学生批判性思维的一种方法是创造性地提出问题。)”以及下文“For example, they help students be better language learners.(例如，提问活动帮助学生成为更好的语言学习者。)”可知，提问活动帮助学生成为更好的语言学习者，有助于培养批判性思维，可知空处应是总述提问活动对学生有很多好处，引出下文举例。E项“Question-asking activities are beneficial for students in many ways.(提问活动在很多方面对学生有益。)”符合语境，故选E。 12．根据下文“And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking.(当你相信自己的时候，你可以有更多的互动，这可能会导致批判性思维。)”可知，下文说的是自信的人有更多的互动，这可能会导致批判性思维，空处应是说明提问和自信之间的关系，起到承上启下的作用。C项“Additionally, people who ask questions are very confident.(此外，问问题的人非常自信。)”符合语境，故选C。 13．根据下文“Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself.(首先，针对你所阅读文本中的信息提出问题。其次，就文本中的信息与你自身生活的关联提出问题。最后，针对抽象概念提出问题——这些概念源自你针对自身情况所提出的问题中。)”可知，下文详细说明了阅读新文本时的三个步骤，可知空处应是引出关于阅读新文本时提出问题的三个步骤。D项“You can develop questions in three steps when you read a new text.(当你阅读一篇新文章时，你可以分三步提出问题。)”符合语境，故选D。 14．根据上文“Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life.

(但你也可以在可能的时候介入，做一些诸如洗碗、照顾宠物或熨衣服之类的事情)”列举了一些可以帮忙的小任务，A选项“Help out with small tasks.(帮忙做些小任务。)”为祈使句，与其它段落的标题句式吻合，且能够准确概括该段内容，故选A。 10．上文“If you ignore them when it comes to simple things, they won’t feel that you care about them.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important. 11 How can I maintain those friendships? According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect. 12 But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 13 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 14 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them. 15 A．Making new friends takes time. B．And time will show you who cares. C．And the focus here is on quality time. D．So I’m wondering what is manageable? E．Is there a way to follow for making new friends? F．And we lose half of our friends every seven years.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important.(我这辈子搬了大约20次家。每次我搬到一个新的地方，似乎越来越难保持我留下的友谊。但现在，保持这些友谊似乎尤为重要)”以及后文“How can I maintain those friendships?(我怎样才能维持这些友谊？)”可知，本句与后文并列，都是作者在反问自己如何维持友谊的问题。故D选项“所以我想知道什么是可管理的？”符合语境，故选D。 12．根据上文“According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect.(根据一项研究，友谊经常因为缺乏见面、闲逛和联系的机会而消失)”以及后文“But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later.(但实际上，事情并不像听起来那么令人沮丧。我们朋友圈的规模没有改变。然而，其中52%的面孔在七年后会有所不同)”可知，后文提到了52%的朋友在七年后会有所不同；F选项“我们每七年就会失去一半的朋友”承接上文，进一步描述友谊可能消失的情况，选项中lose half of our friends every seven years与下文中“52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later”相对应。故选F。 13．后文“A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend.

I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them.(但是，如果你不去见他们，所有的朋友都能走得越来越远吗？我不这么想。总有一些特别的人，不会因为时间和距离而消失。如果你需要他们，他们会在你身边)”提到有一些特别的人，不会因为时间和距离而消失。如果你需要他们，他们会在你身边，说明时间会考验出真正的友谊。故B选项“时间会告诉你谁在乎”符合语境，故选B。 话题4人与社会—健康生活方式(减肥,体育锻炼) Passage 1 2024-2025学年江苏省宿迁市沭阳塘沟高级中学高一上学期期末检测英语试题 Most people will suffer from memory loss and failure in brain function as they grow older. 1 Here’s the best of what to do for better brain health. Eat like you’re vacationing in Italy. Dr. Carolyn Fredericks, an assistant professor of neurology, always recommends her patients follow a Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and nuts. She says omega-3s in the fish or the vitamin E in the nuts is not what makes the Mediterranean diet work. 2     Rest up. Lack of sleep is a key factor for memory loss. People who sleep less per night are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia (痴呆) than those who have enough sleep. 3 Try improving your sleep hygiene (卫生) by taking steps like avoiding caffeine in the evening, limiting naps and putting away electronics before bed. 4 Should we put together puzzles or play Sudoku (数独) every day? Actually, rather than focusing on one pursuit, a “diet of intellectual activities” is better. It is compared to asking a nutritionist. what to eat for a healthy diet: the answer wouldn’t be carrots, more carrots, and only carrots. Make it a point to exercise your brain in a variety of ways, just as you feast on lots of different snacks and meals. 5 Simple daily habits mentioned above can help you effortlessly achieve it. And there’s no such thing as “too young” to start. Even if you’re in your 20s or younger, what you’re doing now will help you maintain brain health later in life. A．Challenge your mind. B．Do puzzles to stay active. C．Taking care of your brain health is a no-brainer. D．Luckily, changing our lifestyle habits can go a long way. E．You may lie awake at night counting sheep, at a loss what to do. F．Only a minority of people believe they can take action to help control. G．It is the style of eating and focus on whole foods instead that really matter. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．E 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是随着年龄增长，人们普遍会遇到记忆力减退和大脑功能下降的问题，但文章指出通过调整生活习惯可以有效改善大脑健康，包括遵循地中海式饮食、保证充足睡眠以及进行多样化的脑力活动等。 1．上文提到“Most people will suffer from memory loss and failure in brain function as they grow older.(大多数人随着年龄的增长会出现记忆力减退和大脑功能下降的情况。)”，指出了随着年龄增长，大脑功能下降是一个普遍问题；D选项“Luckily, changing our lifestyle habits can go a long way.(幸运的是，改变我们的生活习惯会有很大的帮助。)”则提出了一个解决方案，即改变生活习惯可以改善大脑健康，起到了承上启下的作用，既回应了上文的问题，也为下文的具体建议做了铺垫。故选D。 2．上文提到“She says omega-3s in the fish or the vitamin E in the nuts is not what makes the Mediterranean diet work.(她说，鱼中的欧米伽-3或坚果中的维生素E并不是地中海饮食起作用的原因。)”，说明了地中海饮食的好处并非仅仅来源于某些特定的营养成分；G选项“It is the style of eating and focus on whole foods instead that really matter.(真正重要的是饮食方式和注重全食物。)”则进一步解释了地中海饮食的真正核心，即饮食方式和全食物的摄入，与上文形成了补充和解释的关系。故选G。 3．上文提到“Lack of sleep is a key factor for memory loss. People who sleep less per night are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia (痴呆) than those who have enough sleep.(睡眠不足是导致记忆力减退的关键因素。每晚睡眠不足的人比睡眠充足的人被诊断为痴呆的可能性高出30%。)”，指出了睡眠不足对大脑健康的负面影响；E选项“You may lie awake at night counting sheep, at a loss what to do.(你可能会躺在床上数羊，不知所措。)”则形象地描述了失眠者的困境，与上文形成了情境上的衔接，同时也为下文“Try improving your sleep hygiene (卫生) by taking steps like avoiding caffeine in the evening, limiting naps and putting away electronics before bed.( 试着改善你的睡眠卫生，采取一些措施，比如晚上不喝咖啡因，少午睡，睡前把电子产品收起来。)”的建议做了铺垫。故选E。 4．后文“Should we put together puzzles or play Sudoku (数独) every day?(我们应该每天拼拼图或玩数独吗？)”，引出了本段的主题，即脑力活动；A选项“Challenge your mind.(挑战你的大脑。)”则作为本段的中心句，概括了本段的主旨，即通过各种脑力活动来挑战和锻炼大脑。故选A。 5．后文“Simple daily habits mentioned above can help you effortlessly achieve it.

Back in 1950, the global average lifespan was only 45 years old. 7 We can mainly thank the advancement of medicine for letting us live longer, but at what point do we stop growing and start aging? It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. 8 That seems to be because of the way our species has evolved. 9 So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. Generally speaking, many evolutionary biologists have concluded that we age simply because the driving force of evolution, known as natural selection, hasn’t selected for fitness and function at an older age. Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. 10 Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. These animals age very slowly and typically die from non-age related events such as being killed by other animals, disease or natural disasters. A．What is aging and why do we get older? B．Is this because cells gradually lose some genetic information? C．In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. D．You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. E．After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. F．A study found that we can stop aging but we have to reach 105 years old first. G．Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. 【答案】6．A 7．C 8．E 9．D 10．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出衰老不可避免但人类平均寿命因医学进步而延长，并探讨了衰老的本质及原因，还说明人类并非唯一有衰老现象的物种，但一些冷血动物衰老缓慢。 6．前文“Can we live forever? (我们能永远活着吗)”提出永生的问题，后文段落围绕衰老的概念、人类衰老的原因等展开论述，因此A项“What is aging and why do we get older? (什么是衰老以及我们为什么会变老)”符合语境，就衰老的本质和原因提出问题，承接前文，引出后文关于衰老的具体讨论。故选A。 7．前文“Back in 1950, the global average lifespan was only 45 years old. (回到1950年，全球平均寿命只有45岁)”提到1950年全球的平均寿命；后文“We can mainly thank the advancement of medicine for letting us live longer (我们主要要感谢先进的医学让我们活得更久)”提到寿命的延长主要得益于医学进步；因此C项“In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. (相比之下，现在全球平均寿命超过70岁)”点明当前全球的平均寿命，和前文形成比较，引出后文的原因，符合语境。故选C。 8．前文“It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. (人们普遍认为，一旦我们快30岁了，我们就会发生进入衰老的变化，这意味着‘变老的过程’)”指出快30岁时人开始进入衰老阶段，因此E项“After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. (在那之后，我们的身体维持生物系统的效率会降低)”承接前文，说明进入衰老阶段后身体的变化，符合语境，其中的that指代前文的our late 20s。故选E。 9．后文“So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. (因此，就像任何机器一样，如果你保持身体充足的能量和保养，你就可以长生不老，这可能是有道理的)”提到人如何像机器一样保持不衰老，因此D项“You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. (你可能会说一些无生命的机器能比人类持续更久)”符合语境，提到有些机器比人活得更久，引出后文，适合作为段首句。故选D。 10．前文“Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. (当然，人类在这方面并不孤单)”指出人类的衰老并非个例，后文“Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. (许多冷血物种，如蜥蜴，保持着它们的健康和繁殖能力，被认为没有明显的衰老)”举出没有明显衰老的物种，因此G项“Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. (其他物种也进化出了类似的生殖生命周期——但并非所有物种都是如此)”承前启后，指出有些物种也会衰老，同时存在不衰老的物种，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 3 (2024-2025学年江苏省无锡市高一上学期期终教学质量调研测试英语卷) Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them. 11 While you will not achieve major weight loss without proper diet and exercise, there are a few things you can do to slim your stomach line without heading to the gym or starving yourself. Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer. When it comes to reducing your stomach line, it’s not all about how much you eat, but also about what you eat. Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal. 12 Get enough sleep. Sleeping doesn’t burn fat on its own, but it’s an important part of weight loss efforts. When you aren’t well-rested, it’s hard to motivate yourself to move. 13 You’ re more likely to eat junk food like hot dog and fried chicken when you’ re tired out. 14 Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge-drinking, and watching hour after hour of television. Start recording your weight. Some nutrition experts suggest that having a clear idea of your own weight can promote healthy living. 15 If the numbers start to go up, you’ll know that it’s time to reconsider your habits. A．It’s also hard to control desires for food. B．Find a fitness-positive support network. C．Many people are worried about their weight. D．Keeping a record of your weight really works. E．Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of processed snacks. F．The number you get will be close to your “true” average weight. G．Instead of these foods, focus on other choices that offer long-term satisfaction. 【答案】11．C 12．G 13．A 14．B 15．D\ 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了如何在不去健身房或节食的情况下减掉腹部赘肉。11．根据空格前的句子“Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them.(减肥是一个流行的健身目标：超过一半的美国人将其列为重要目标)”可知，超过一半的美国人将减肥列为重要目标。这说明他们担心他们的体重问题，所以C项“Many people are worried about their weight.(很多人都担心自己的体重)”填入空格处，和上文是顺接关系，符合语境。故选C项。 12．该部分的主题句“Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer.(选择那些能让你长时间保持饱腹感的食物)”建议你选择那些能让你长时间保持饱腹感的食物。而空格前的句子“Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal.(某些食物会给你短暂的能量和满足感，但会让你在下一餐之前感到饥饿)”提到的是给你短暂的能量和满足感的事物。所以，空格处的句子承接上文提出的问题并提供解决方案。所以，G项“Instead of these foods, focus on other choices that offer long-term satisfaction.(专注于其他提供长期满足感的选择，而不是这些食物)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。 13．根据空格后的句子“You’ re more likely to eat junk food like hot dog and fried chicken when you’ re tired out.(当你累的时候，你更有可能吃像热狗和炸鸡这样的垃圾食品)”可知，当你累的时候，更容易吃些垃圾食品，也就是说你很难控制自己的食欲，所以，A项“It’s also hard to control desires for food.(对食物的欲望也很难控制)”填入空格处和下文是顺接关系，符合下文的困倦容易导致垃圾食品摄入。故选A项。 14．空格处是该部分的主题句。根据下文的内容“Make an effort to spend time with people who have a healthy lifestyle, like walking, sports, cycling, nutritious home cooking and so on. Limit your time with people who have unhealthy hobbies like eating junk food, binge-drinking, and watching hour after hour of television.(努力花时间和有健康生活方式的人在一起，比如散步、运动、骑自行车、做有营养的家常菜等等。少和那些有不健康嗜好的人呆在一起，比如吃垃圾食品、酗酒、一小时一小时看电视)”可知，该部分主要是建议你和那些有健康生活方式的人在一起，因为他们可以为你的减肥提供支持。所以，B项“Find a fitness-positive support network.(找到一个积极健身的支持网络)”可以作为该部分的主题句填入空格处。故选B项。 15．根据该部分的主题句“Start recording your weight.(开始记录你的体重)”和空格后的句子“If the numbers start to go up, you’ll know that it’s time to reconsider your habits.(如果数字开始上升，你就知道是时候重新考虑你的习惯了)”可知，空格处的句子应该是说记录体重的作用。所以D项“Keeping a record of your weight really works.(记录你的体重真的很有效)”填入空格处，符合追踪体重变化的建议。故选D项。 话题5人与社会—文化(电影, 节日和风俗) Passage 1 (2024-2025学年江苏省南通市高一上学期1月期末) What makes great storytelling for film? There are some tips for filmmakers about the art of it. One of the most important elements of great storytelling for film is how the story is told. Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming. 1 The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story. 2 If you’ve got a brilliant story, think about what would happen if you began your film with the ending. Try experimenting with the timing of events, and how the order can impact the audience’s view. With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly. 3 Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast. Pay particular attention to the first 10 pages of your script. Remember that when reading the script, you should want to read on and be gripped. Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages. 4 As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step. Who will want to watch this movie? What do they like doing and what interests them? 5 That can make it more attractive to the target audience. See if you can gather some statistics from any films that are in any way similar to the same genre. From this, you can judge who usually enjoys the genre, and who you can tailor your screenplay to. All in all, everything that goes into making a film, from costume choices to special effects, is there to reinforce the story. Next time, let’s talk more about the topic. A．The end involves the issues being resolved. B．Don’t forget to focus on character development. C．In the modern world everything moves at a fast speed. D．If so, that desire can be ten times stronger in your film. E．But they have a structure that isn’t too confusing to follow. F．Doing market research will help you revise your film’s screenplay. G．Making choices about the timing of events can heighten their impact. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电影制作中优秀叙事的一些技巧和要点。 1．上文“Great movies can throw curveballs (曲线球) that you don’t see coming.(伟大的电影会打出你意想不到的曲线球)”说明伟大的电影会有意想不到的情节，空处承接上文，对上文进行补充说明，E选项“但它们有一个结构，不会让人太困惑。”中的“they”指代上文“Great movies”，与前一句形成对比关系，强调这些伟大的电影虽然情节出乎意料，但结构清晰，不会让人困惑，符合语境。故选E。 2．上文“The standard structure for any kind of storytelling is to introduce your characters, setting and genre at the start. Any problems should be encountered somewhere in the middle of the story.(任何类型的故事讲述的标准结构都是在开头介绍你的角色、背景和类型。任何问题都应该在故事的中间部分出现)”说明故事的基本结构，包括开头介绍角色、背景和类型，中间遇到问题，空处承接上文，说明故事最后要解决的问题，A选项“结尾包括问题的解决。”说明结尾部分涉及解决问题，符合逻辑顺序。故选A。 3．上文“With a clear structure, you should consider how to grab the audience’s attention quickly.(有了清晰的结构，你应该考虑如何迅速吸引观众的注意力)”及下文“Your story may be wonderful, but if it takes too long to get into, you might lose your audience before you’ve got going. With so much competition, you need to act fast.(你的故事可能很精彩，但如果进入主题太慢，你可能在还没开始的时候就失去了观众。竞争如此激烈，你需要快速行动)”说明该段落开始讨论如何快速抓住观众的注意力，并指出在竞争激烈的环境中需要迅速行动，故事要快速进入主题，吸引观众，空处引出下文，应与现代社会竞争激烈和快节奏有关，C选项“在现代社会，一切都以很快的速度进行。”提到现代社会节奏快，与本段的主题相吻合。故选C。 4．上文“Let somebody read your script and ask them whether they want to continue on after 10 pages.(让别人读你的剧本，问问他们是否想在10页后继续读下去)”建议让别人读你的剧本并询问他们是否愿意继续阅读下去，空处承接上文，对上文进行假设说明，D选项“如果是这样，这种欲望在你的电影中可能会强烈十倍。”进一步强调如果剧本能够引起这种愿望，那么在电影中这种愿望会更加强烈，呼应上文，符合语境。故选D。 5．上文“As with any content you create, understanding your audience is an important step.

People in the country go out of their way to make sure visitors have everything. In ancient Russia, bread and salt symbolized boom and health, so hosts would put on their best clothes and offer bread together with salt to their guests. 6 No bread at home means there’s nothing to eat — no meal doesn’t include bread. “Bread is the staff of life” is probably the most famous Russian proverb. Today, there is no shortage of salt in the world. 7 During the mid-17th century the rising price of salt led to riots (暴乱) in Moscow. The salt tax was completely abolished (废除) at the end of the 19th century — only afterwards did salt become affordable. 8 According to tradition, guests are greeted by ladies in national costumes with a large round loaf on a towel with a salt shaker on top. The guests should carefully break off a piece of the bread, dip it in the salt and eat. 9 An old belief is that if the worst of enemies share bread and salt, they will reconcile (和解). In today’s Russia, this tradition is still popular. It can be witnessed during official receptions, as well as in restaurants prepared for foreign tourists. 10 Parents of the newlyweds welcome their children with bread and salt after the ceremony. The husband and wife should break off a piece of bread, dip it in salt, and feed each other. This is a sign that they are ready to share any difficulties in life and always take care of each other. A．It was believed this gesture expressed rudeness. B．Bread in Russian culture is considered an important thing. C．Most often you can see this at traditional Russian weddings. D．Many foreigners visiting Russia have come across a strange welcome. E．This signals that a friendship has been formed between the two parties. F．But in ancient Russia, it was rather expensive and not everyone could afford it. G．That’s why Russians kept it for special occasions, like when they received guests. 【答案】6．B 7．F 8．G 9．E 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。俄罗斯人用面包和盐作为礼物欢迎客人，尽管看起来很奇怪，但这实际上是俄罗斯古老的传统，用于迎接重要客人，文章阐述了这个仪式背后的原因。 6．由下文“No bread at home means there’s nothing to eat — no meal doesn’t include bread. “Bread is the staff of life” is probably the most famous Russian proverb.(家里没有面包意味着没有东西可吃——没有一顿饭不包括面包。“面包是生命之杖”可能是俄罗斯最著名的谚语。)”可知本段主要阐述面包在俄罗斯的重要性；B选项“Bread in Russia culture is considered an important thing.(面包在俄罗斯文化中被认为是很重要的东西。)”指出面包在俄罗斯文化中被认为是很重要的东西，符合语境。故选B。 7．上文“Today, there is no shortage of salt in the world.(今天，世界上不缺盐。)”指出在现代世界上盐是不缺的；F选项“But in ancient Russia, it was rather expensive and not everyone could afford it.(但在古代俄罗斯，它相当昂贵，不是每个人都买得起。)”指出在古代俄罗斯盐非常贵，不是每个人能买得起的，与上文形成对比、转折关系，“Today”与“in ancient Russia”相对应；下文“During the mid-17th century the rising price of salt led to riots (暴乱) in Moscow. (17世纪中叶，盐的价格上涨在莫斯科引发了骚乱。)”承接选项F，进一步阐述在古代俄罗斯，盐非常昂贵不是每个人能买得起的。由此可知，F选项符合语境。故选F。 8．上文“During the mid-17th century the rising price of salt led to riots (暴乱) in Moscow.

Sometimes it can feel frightening to write a story because you have an idea of what the story has to be. 2 Creative writing doesn’t have to follow traditional rules. When inspiration hits you, be ready to write down the idea. 3 Think about who you would like it to be, whether a person, an animal, or a mythical creature. Next, develop your character by answering a few questions: What does my character love and fear? What does my character want? Deciding your character’s ambitions in life will be the engine that drives your story. Then you can put barriers in their way to add drama or humor to your story. Once you know what your character wants, you can add drama or humor to your story by putting barriers in their way. This is where writing a story gets really fun. 4 Ask yourself if you want your story to be serious or silly. If you’ re stuck for ideas about the barriers, think of the funniest, oddest thing you ever did. Writing isn’t meant to be perfect the first time. 5 Try reading the first draft of your story out loud, and share it with a trusted family member or friend. Does it make sense and get the reaction you have in mind? If not, you can go back to your story and make changes to get it to a place you’re happy with. A．That’s why we have drafts and revisions. B．So you are likely to give up your inspiration. C．It’s a great place to experiment and try new ideas. D．A great place to begin any story is with a main character.

In other words, students need to learn how to collect information, make judgments about the information and apply it to a new context. One way to develop students’ critical thinking is to be creative about the questions they ask. 11 For example, they help students be better language learners. Often, questions are the first point of contact. Even if the questions are not good enough, they are going to direct the level of your conversation. 12 And when you believe in yourself, you can have more interaction, which might lead to critical thinking. The usual question-asking pattern starts with specific questions and then moves to abstract questions. 13 Firstly, create questions about information in the text you’re reading. Secondly, create questions about what the information in the text has to do with your own life. Finally, you create questions about abstract ideas—ideas that have come up in the questions about yourself. During the process, you’ve practiced creative ways to ask questions. 14 However, when you are told which questions to answer, you are less likely to be creative about the questions you ask. 15 Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract, like the steps given above. A．So, practice developing your own questions. B．So, respond to the questions related to your own life. C．Additionally, people who ask questions are very confident.

Your friend or family member may feel like talking about what they are going through, or they may not. It’s always appropriate to let them know you care and will be there for them. 7 Making a video expressing your love for them is another option. You could also ask them if it would be OK to bring or mail them a baked treat, or you might put together a care package.Spend time together. 8 If possible, ask if they would like to do something together, like take a walk, watch a movie, or do a puzzle. If it’s a family member who lives far away, you can ask if they want to video chat or talk on the phone. You could also send them photos of your day to help them feel connected. 9 People who care about you likely want you to keep your daily routine as much as possible, even while they are going through something challenging. But you might also be able to step in when possible, with tasks like doing the dishes, looking after a pet, or ironing clothes.Pay attention to their needs and wants. This is often the hardest, but most important way to show you care. Even if they are just telling you a story about something silly that happened at the supermarket, it’s important that you respond appropriately. If you ignore them when it comes to simple things, they won’t feel that you care about them. 10 A．Help out with small tasks. B．Stick to your daily routine. C．Your presence alone can be comforting.

And each time I move to a new place, it seems to get harder and harder to keep the friendships I left behind. But right now, keeping those friendships seems especially important. 11 How can I maintain those friendships? According to one study, friendships often disappear for lack of opportunity to meet, hang out and connect. 12 But actually, things are not as discouraging as sounds. The size of our friendship group remains unchanged. 52% of those faces, though, will be different seven years later. 13 A recent study found that you have to spend 40-60 hours with someone to turn an acquaintance (熟人) into a casual friend. To become a best friend, you spend at least 200 hours of quality time together. 14 You might say “Hi” to a neighbor every morning or be polite to a coworker, but you wouldn’t necessarily invite them over for dinner. But will all the friends get further and further if you are not meeting them? I don’t think so. There are always special ones that don’t disappear because of the time or the distance. They will be there for you if you need them. 15 A．Making new friends takes time. B．And time will show you who cares. C．And the focus here is on quality time. D．So I’m wondering what is manageable? E．Is there a way to follow for making new friends? F．And we lose half of our friends every seven years. G．I don’t think there’s a secret to keeping friendships, either. 话题4人与社会—健康生活方式(减肥,体育锻炼) Passage 1 2024-2025学年江苏省宿迁市沭阳塘沟高级中学高一上学期期末检测英语试题 Most people will suffer from memory loss and failure in brain function as they grow older. 1 Here’s the best of what to do for better brain health. Eat like you’re vacationing in Italy. Dr. Carolyn Fredericks, an assistant professor of neurology, always recommends her patients follow a Mediterranean diet, which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and nuts. She says omega-3s in the fish or the vitamin E in the nuts is not what makes the Mediterranean diet work. 2     Rest up. Lack of sleep is a key factor for memory loss. People who sleep less per night are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia (痴呆) than those who have enough sleep. 3 Try improving your sleep hygiene (卫生) by taking steps like avoiding caffeine in the evening, limiting naps and putting away electronics before bed. 4 Should we put together puzzles or play Sudoku (数独) every day? Actually, rather than focusing on one pursuit, a “diet of intellectual activities” is better. It is compared to asking a nutritionist. what to eat for a healthy diet: the answer wouldn’t be carrots, more carrots, and only carrots. Make it a point to exercise your brain in a variety of ways, just as you feast on lots of different snacks and meals. 5 Simple daily habits mentioned above can help you effortlessly achieve it. And there’s no such thing as “too young” to start. Even if you’re in your 20s or younger, what you’re doing now will help you maintain brain health later in life. A．Challenge your mind. B．Do puzzles to stay active. C．Taking care of your brain health is a no-brainer. D．Luckily, changing our lifestyle habits can go a long way. E．You may lie awake at night counting sheep, at a loss what to do. F．Only a minority of people believe they can take action to help control. G．It is the style of eating and focus on whole foods instead that really matter. Passage 2 (2024-2025学年江苏省盐城市亭湖区高一上学期1月期末英语试题) Can we live forever? 6 Aging is a fact of life we can’t escape no matter how hard we try, though as a species we’re getting better at lengthening the process. Back in 1950, the global average lifespan was only 45 years old. 7 We can mainly thank the advancement of medicine for letting us live longer, but at what point do we stop growing and start aging? It’s generally understood that once we reach our late 20s we make the change of developing into aging, which means “the process of growing old”. 8 That seems to be because of the way our species has evolved. 9 So it might make sense that, like any machine, you could live forever if you keep your body well-fueled and maintained. Generally speaking, many evolutionary biologists have concluded that we age simply because the driving force of evolution, known as natural selection, hasn’t selected for fitness and function at an older age. Of course, humans aren’t alone in this. 10 Many cold-blooded species such as lizards (蜥蜴) keep their fitness and reproductive (繁殖的) abilities and are considered to have insignificantly aging. These animals age very slowly and typically die from non-age related events such as being killed by other animals, disease or natural disasters. A．What is aging and why do we get older? B．Is this because cells gradually lose some genetic information? C．In comparison, now the global average is above 70 years old. D．You might say that some lifeless machines can last far longer than humans. E．After that, our bodies become less efficient at maintaining biological systems. F．A study found that we can stop aging but we have to reach 105 years old first. G．Other species have evolved a similar reproductive life cycle — but not all of them. Passage 3 (2024-2025学年江苏省无锡市高一上学期期终教学质量调研测试英语卷) Losing weight is a popular fitness goal: more than half of Americans list it as important to them. 11 While you will not achieve major weight loss without proper diet and exercise, there are a few things you can do to slim your stomach line without heading to the gym or starving yourself. Turn to foods that leave you feeling fuller longer. When it comes to reducing your stomach line, it’s not all about how much you eat, but also about what you eat. Certain foods give short “bursts” of energy and satisfaction, but leave you hungry before your next meal. 12 Get enough sleep. Sleeping doesn’t burn fat on its own, but it’s an important part of weight loss efforts.
