1.安徽A10联盟2026届高三下学期2月开学学情检测英语试题 Caring for an aging parent can be overwhelming, especially when their needs seem endless. Jen learned this when she began helping her mother with new health problems. She felt guilty every time she wanted a break. _ 36_ As care coach Deanna explains, only when you take better care of yourself can you also take better care of others. Here are several practical steps that can help. Start by thinking clearly about what “boundaries” mean for you. ___37___ For Jen, the biggest problem was having to drive long distances every week for her mother’s doctor appointments. She solved this by calling in instead of going in person. It saved hours of travel time and greatly reduced her stress. Once you know your limits, communicate them calmly and consistently. ___38___ Jen’s mom wasn’t happy she stopped coming in person, but Jen reminded her that she could still ask questions and take notes by phone. It’s also important to accept both your own feelings — and the feelings of your loved ones. ___39___ Caregivers are human. It is normal to feel tired or upset, and protecting your own energy allows you to provide better care in the long run. Loved ones may want more help, but sometimes the answer has to be “no.” Above all, do not give in to guilt. Boundaries are not about leaving someone alone — they help protect your energy so you can be truly helpful when needed. ___40___ Many people face the same problem and ask the same questions every day. A. And remember, you are not alone. B. Actually, setting boundaries isn’t selfish. C. Identify what tasks create the most stress. D. Change may upset your loved one at first. E.

It's like learning to play an instrument: at first you may hit the wrong notes, misunderstand the rhythm, or feel awkward. 37 Tune in to your inner signals. Most people are vaguely (模糊地) aware of their emotional state. Emotional intelligence begins by refining (提炼) this awareness into something specific. Imagine you' ve just been cut off in traffic.Your body tenses and you mutter under your breath. In that moment, an emotionally intelligent approach is to pause and silently name what you feel:“frustration,”“a sense of disrespect.” 38 It shifts the experience from a raw, automatic reaction into something you can observe and handle. Learn to pause before responding. One of the greatest powers emotional intelligence offers is the pause —— the small gap between stimulus(刺激) and response. 39 Without it, you' re a puppet (木偶) to whatever emotion shows up; with it, you become the author of your actions. To develop the pause, mindfulness meditation is an effective training ground. Sitting quietly,focusing on your breath, and noticing when your mind wanders builds the ability to witness thoughts and feelings without immediately acting on them. 40 Emotional intelligence is not just inward-looking. A core skill is empathy. This requires careful observation of tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. A powerful exercise is to spend a day paying attention to micro-expressions —— those quickly passing facial changes that often reveal true feelings before they' re masked. It can help you respond in ways that make others feel seen and understood. A. Practice active listening skills. B. Read the emotional currents of others. C. But with practice, the music starts to flow naturally. D. In that space lies your ability to choose rather than react. E. Simply naming an emotion has a calming effect on the brain. F. See emotions not as random behavior but as information carriers. G. In reality, it's a living skill that you can develop and sharpen over time. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了情商并非是一种天生的神秘特质，而是一种可以后天培养和打磨的技能，并具 体给出了三种培养情商的方法：感知自身的情绪信号、学会在回应前暂停、读懂他人的情绪流露，掌握这些方法能 帮助人们更好地感知和处理情绪，建立良好的人际联结。 【36 题详解】根据空前句“Emotional intelligence is often spoken about as if it's a mysterious quality you either have or don't. ”（人们谈及情商时，总将其视作一种要么拥有、要么没有的神秘特质。）及空后句“Of course, developing emotional intelligence isn't an overnight achievement. ”（当然，培养情商并非一蹴而就。）可知，空处应转折说明情商是可以后 天培养的。G 选项“In reality, it's a living skill that you can develop and sharpen over time. ”（事实上，它是一种可以随 着时间培养和打磨的实用技能。）衔接上下文，符合语境。故选 G 【37 题详解】根据空前句“It's like learning to play an instrument: at first you may hit the wrong notes, misunderstand the rhythm, or feel awkward. ”（这就像学习演奏乐器：一开始你可能会弹错音符、理解错节奏，或者感到手足无措。）可 知，空处应承接该比喻，说明通过练习会变得熟练。C 选项“But with practice, the music starts to flow naturally. ”（但 通过练习，音乐就会开始自然地流淌。）衔接上文，符合语境。故选 C 【38 题详解】根据空前句“In that moment, an emotionally intelligent approach is to pause and silently name what you feel: “frustration, ”“a sense of disrespect. ””及空后句“It shifts the experience from a raw, automatic reaction into something you can observe and handle. ”可知，空处应说明说出情绪名称的作用。E 选项“Simply naming an emotion has a calming effect on the brain. ”（仅仅说出情绪的名称就能对大脑起到平复作用。）衔接上下文，符合语境。故选 E 【39 题详解】根据空前句“One of the greatest powers emotional intelligence offers is the pause -- the small gap between stimulus and response. ”及空后句“Without it, you' re a puppet to whatever emotion shows up; with it, you become the author of your actions. ”可知，空处应说明这一间隙的作用。D 选项“In that space lies your ability to choose rather than react. ”（在这个间隙中，你拥有了选择而非被动反应的能力。）衔接上下文，符合语境。故选 D 【40 题详解】根据空后段内容“Emotional intelligence is not just inward-looking.

To grow and be better than before, developing emotional intelligence can make you stand out from the crowd. ____16____ It is common that we deflect（转移）our feelings and make others feel guilty, which can result in heated arguments and even guilt trips. But it’s essential to understand a fundamental principle: Just as others are not accountable for your emotions, you are not responsible for how others feel. ____17____ For example, replace “You hurt me” with “I feel hurt.” This expresses your feelings without blame, fostering（培养）healthier communication and emotional ownership. When emotions run high, self-control becomes vital. ____18____ In heated moments, focus first on calming yourself rather than reacting without thinking. By carefully choosing your words and actions, you can prevent unnecessary damage to your relationships and demonstrate real maturity. ____19____ Question your initial thoughts before reacting and reflect on whether your own behavior has contributed to the issue. This practice helps you move beyond automatic reactions and respond more thoughtfully, reducing conflicts. If you make a mistake, take full responsibility for your actions and offer a sincere apology which will build trust and shows strength instead of weakness. Taking ownership in this way is a cornerstone of emotional growth and integrity. Finally, you are known by the company you keep; this is always true. If you are surrounded by happy and motivated people, you will always be happy. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down then you will always feel miserable. In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side. ____20____ Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them immediately. A. Always communicate your needs clearly. B. Try to change others’ perspectives patiently. C. So own your feelings without projecting them. D. Let’s explore how to become emotionally mature. E. Avoid quick decisions when emotionally charged. F. Self-reflection is equally important on this journey. G. Keep away from those who emotionally control others. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕发展情商展开，介绍了提升情绪成熟度的几种可行方法，帮助人们更好地管理情绪、实现个人成长。 【16题详解】上文“To grow and be better than before, developing emotional intelligence can make you stand out from the crowd.(要想成长并变得比以前更好，发展情商可以让你脱颖而出。)”提到了发展情商的好处，D选项“让我们来探讨如何变得情感成熟”能承接上文，引出下文具体方法的作用，契合行文逻辑。故选D项。 【17题详解】上文“But it’s essential to understand a fundamental principle: Just as others are not accountable for your emotions, you are not responsible for how others feel.(但有一个基本原则必须明白：正如他人无需为你的感受负责，你也不必为他人的感受负责。)”提到了为自身情绪负责，不转移给他人，下文用For example引出具体例子，C选项“所以要坦然面对自己的感受，不要将其投射到他人身上。”能承接上文引出下文。故选C项。 【18题详解】上文“When emotions run high, self-control becomes vital.(当情绪激动时，自我控制就变得至关重要了。)”提到了情绪激动话题，下文“In heated moments, focus first on calming yourself rather than reacting without thinking.(在情绪激动的时候，首先要努力让自己冷静下来，而不是不经思考就做出反应。)”提到了情绪激动时的反应，E选项“在情绪激动时切勿仓促做决定。”承接上文提出的话题，且与下文rather than呼应，具有承上启下的作用。故选E项。 【19题详解】下文“Question your initial thoughts before reacting and reflect on whether your own behavior has contributed to the issue.(在做出反应之前，先审视一下自己最初的想法，并思考一下自己的行为是否加剧了这一问题。)”提到了自我反思问题，选项F中Self-reflection是关键词，与下文reflect 呼应，所以F选项“在这段旅程中，自我反思同样十分重要。”契合本段主题。故选F项。 【20题详解】上文“In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side.(要想具备高情商，你就需要有一个贴心且支持你的伙伴在你身边。)”提到了贴心且支持你的伙伴，下文“Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them immediately.(每当你有那样的感觉时，就立刻与他们断绝往来。)”提到了断绝往来，G选项“远离那些在情感上控制别人的人。”承接上文且呼应下文提到的“断绝往来”具有承上启下的作用。故选G项。 4.重庆市沙坪坝区重庆市第八中学校2025-2026学年度下学期高三年级入学考试英语试题 What does moderation mean in eating? ___36___ After a meal, you want to feel satisfied — not stuffed. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now. But it doesn’t mean eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner — but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits”. When you ban certain foods, it’s natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. ___37___ As you reduce your intake of unhealthy foods, you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences (嗜好，放纵). ___38___ It’s important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. Limit snack foods in the home. ___39___ It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks and treats at the ready. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices and when you’re ready to reward yourself with a special treat, go out and get it then. Control emotional eating. We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger. Many of us also turn to food to relieve stress or cope with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. ___40___ You can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings. A. Take your time. B. Value food as basic nourishment. C. When dining out, don’t order anything supersized. D. Be mindful about the foods you keep close at hand. E. At its core, it means eating just what your body needs. F. Learn healthier ways to manage stress and emotions instead. G. Start by reducing portion sizes of unhealthy foods and not eating them as often. 【答案】36. E 37. G 38. A 39. D 40. F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在饮食中做到节制及相关的具体建议。 【36题详解】上文“What does moderation mean in eating?(节制在饮食中意味着什么？)”询问饮食节制的含义，空处需要对其进行解释。E选项“At its core, it means eating just what your body needs.(从核心上讲，它的意思就是只吃身体所需的量)”直接回答了上文的问题，与下文“After a meal, you want to feel satisfied — not stuffed.(饭后你应该感到满足，而不是撑得难受)” 表意一致，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】上文“When you ban certain foods, it’s natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation.(当你禁止某些食物时，自然会更想要这些食物，然后如果你屈服于诱惑，就会觉得自己是个失败者)”说明了禁止某些食物可能带来的不良后果，下文“As you reduce your intake of unhealthy foods, you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences (嗜好，放纵).(当你减少不健康食物的摄入时，你会发现自己对它们的渴望越来越少，只把它们当作偶尔的放纵)”指出减少不健康食物摄入后渴望会降低，空处需要给出合理的建议。G选项“Start by reducing portion sizes of unhealthy foods and not eating them as often.(从减少不健康食物的分量开始，不要经常吃它们)”承上启下，给出具体做法，符合逻辑。故选G。 【38题详解】下文“It’s important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full.(重要的是要放慢速度，把食物当作营养，而不仅仅是在开会或接孩子的路上匆匆吞下的东西。实际上，你的大脑需要几分钟才能告诉你的身体它已经吃饱了，所以慢慢吃，在感到饱之前停止进食)”强调了放慢进食速度的重要性。A选项“Take your time.(别着急，慢慢来)”能概括本段主旨，与下文内容高度契合。故选A。 【39题详解】本段小标题“Limit snack foods in the home.(限制家里的零食)”提出了限制家里零食的建议，下文需要进一步说明如何实施这一建议。D选项“Be mindful about the foods you keep close at hand.(注意你随手可及的食物)”说明了要注意自己身边的食物选择，与本段主题一致，且为下文“It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks and treats at the ready.(如果手边随时都有不健康的零食和甜点，想要饮食有度就会难很多)”做了铺垫，符合语境。故选D。 【40题详解】上文“We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger. Many of us also turn to food to relieve stress or cope with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom.(我们并不总是为了满足饥饿而吃东西。我们中的许多人也会求助于食物来缓解压力或应对不愉快的情绪，如悲伤、孤独或无聊)”说明了人们有时会因为情绪原因而吃东西。F选项“Learn healthier ways to manage stress and emotions instead.(相反，学习更健康的方式来管理压力和情绪)”给出对应解决办法，且为下文“You can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings.(你可以重新掌控自己的饮食和情绪)”做了铺垫，符合语境。故选F。 5.2026届云南昭通市第一中学等三校高考备考实用性联考卷（六）英语试题 How to Write a Poem Writing a poem means observing the world around you or your inner thoughts.

Your surroundings and loved ones are great sources too — a walk in the neighborhood, a special talk with your parent, or a memory full of joy or sadness can all be topics. (你可以尝试自由写作5—10分钟，记下日常感受或随机想法。使用“风的感觉”或列出与情感时刻相关的图像等提示也有效。你周围的环境和所爱的人也是很好的来源——在附近散步、与父母的特别交谈，或者充满欢乐或悲伤的回忆都可以成为话题)”详细列举了多种收集灵感的具体方法。C选项“There are several simple ways to gather ideas for your poem.

It's like learning to play an instrument: at first you may hit the wrong notes, misunderstand the rhythm, or feel awkward. 37 Tune in to your inner signals. Most people are vaguely (模糊地) aware of their emotional state. Emotional intelligence begins by refining (提炼) this awareness into something specific. Imagine you' ve just been cut off in traffic.Your body tenses and you mutter under your breath. In that moment, an emotionally intelligent approach is to pause and silently name what you feel:“frustration,”“a sense of disrespect.” 38 It shifts the experience from a raw, automatic reaction into something you can observe and handle. Learn to pause before responding. One of the greatest powers emotional intelligence offers is the pause —— the small gap between stimulus(刺激) and response. 39 Without it, you' re a puppet (木偶) to whatever emotion shows up; with it, you become the author of your actions. To develop the pause, mindfulness meditation is an effective training ground. Sitting quietly,focusing on your breath, and noticing when your mind wanders builds the ability to witness thoughts and feelings without immediately acting on them. 40 Emotional intelligence is not just inward-looking. A core skill is empathy. This requires careful observation of tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. A powerful exercise is to spend a day paying attention to micro-expressions —— those quickly passing facial changes that often reveal true feelings before they' re masked. It can help you respond in ways that make others feel seen and understood. A. Practice active listening skills. B. Read the emotional currents of others. C. But with practice, the music starts to flow naturally. D. In that space lies your ability to choose rather than react. E. Simply naming an emotion has a calming effect on the brain. F. See emotions not as random behavior but as information carriers. G. In reality, it's a living skill that you can develop and sharpen over time. 3.山东名校联盟2026届高三下学期2月份核心素养评估考试英语试卷 Emotions shape our lives in different ways. To grow and be better than before, developing emotional intelligence can make you stand out from the crowd. ____16____ It is common that we deflect（转移）our feelings and make others feel guilty, which can result in heated arguments and even guilt trips. But it’s essential to understand a fundamental principle: Just as others are not accountable for your emotions, you are not responsible for how others feel. ____17____ For example, replace “You hurt me” with “I feel hurt.” This expresses your feelings without blame, fostering（培养）healthier communication and emotional ownership. When emotions run high, self-control becomes vital. ____18____ In heated moments, focus first on calming yourself rather than reacting without thinking. By carefully choosing your words and actions, you can prevent unnecessary damage to your relationships and demonstrate real maturity. ____19____ Question your initial thoughts before reacting and reflect on whether your own behavior has contributed to the issue. This practice helps you move beyond automatic reactions and respond more thoughtfully, reducing conflicts. If you make a mistake, take full responsibility for your actions and offer a sincere apology which will build trust and shows strength instead of weakness. Taking ownership in this way is a cornerstone of emotional growth and integrity. Finally, you are known by the company you keep; this is always true. If you are surrounded by happy and motivated people, you will always be happy. If you are surrounded by negative people that only bring others down then you will always feel miserable. In order to be emotionally intelligent, you must have a good and supporting company by your side. ____20____ Whenever you feel something like that, cut ties with them immediately. A. Always communicate your needs clearly. B. Try to change others’ perspectives patiently. C. So own your feelings without projecting them. D. Let’s explore how to become emotionally mature. E.

For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now. But it doesn’t mean eliminating the foods you love. Eating bacon for breakfast once a week, for example, could be considered moderation if you follow it with a healthy lunch and dinner — but not if you follow it with a box of donuts and a sausage pizza. Try not to think of certain foods as “off-limits”. When you ban certain foods, it’s natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. ___37___ As you reduce your intake of unhealthy foods, you may find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasional indulgences (嗜好，放纵). ___38___ It’s important to slow down and think about food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down in between meetings or on the way to pick up the kids. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. Limit snack foods in the home. ___39___ It’s more challenging to eat in moderation if you have unhealthy snacks and treats at the ready. Instead, surround yourself with healthy choices and when you’re ready to reward yourself with a special treat, go out and get it then. Control emotional eating. We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger. Many of us also turn to food to relieve stress or cope with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. ___40___ You can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings. A. Take your time. B. Value food as basic nourishment. C. When dining out, don’t order anything supersized. D. Be mindful about the foods you keep close at hand. E. At its core, it means eating just what your body needs. F. Learn healthier ways to manage stress and emotions instead. G. Start by reducing portion sizes of unhealthy foods and not eating them as often. 5.2026届云南昭通市第一中学等三校高考备考实用性联考卷（六）英语试题 How to Write a Poem Writing a poem means observing the world around you or your inner thoughts.
