专题03 七选五（期中真题汇编，浙江专用）高二英语下学期

专题03 七选五 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江台州·期中）Bathed in two cultures from childhood, moving around the world and experiencing different cultures has always been my thing. When I was in high school, I heard about students in my class wanting to take the SAT test and study abroad in the USA． 1 . Actually, what I wanted to experience most was the European lifestyle and cultural mix. I used to travel a lot around Europe with my parents as a little kid, and also not forgetting that the French Language is one of my mother tongues, France seemed therefore like a top choice for me. French universities have a good reputation and the French capital is internationally well known for its cultural history. 2 . My university was one of those small cities and I also got the chance to obtain a scholarship which made it easier for me to start my studies. 3 . Opportunities are offered to develop our network and explore the business world. The university participated as a partner in international networking courses leading to a European Master’s degree, a double degree, or training abroad. 4 . So, if you are an international student who came to France for studies, you can take the chance to explore another country for a term and study in English. I remember wanting to take this opportunity in my first year of my college life and try the program which back then offered students the chance to go on an exchange with Linnaeus University in Sweden. 5 . A．I applied and was lucky to get accepted B．You can find a lot of student-friendly cities as well C．Besides, all these universities have their own unique advantages D．But I was not that attracted to studying there E．Because there are many universities with good reputation which attracts students F．The university I chose was small but used to invite business chiefs and directors G．Plus, all French universities work with several countries to offer an exchange program Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）The Essential Wilderness First Aid Kit Imagine you’re descending a rocky mountain trail when a sudden slip leaves you with a deep cut on your leg. 1 . A well-stocked first aid kit, designed specifically for wilderness expeditions, can mean the difference between a manageable injury and a life-threatening situation. ●  Immediate Response Capability Carrying a wilderness first aid kit empowers you to take control of emergencies. 2 . From cleaning wounds with antiseptic (消毒) wipes to keeping broken bones still with splints (夹板), having the right tools allows for critical initial treatment before professional help arrives. ● Tailored for Outdoor Risks Unlike basic home kits, wilderness versions contain supplies addressing unique outdoor risks. 3 . In remote locations where medical assistance may be hard to come by in time, specialized items, like bleeding control bandages, blister treatments, and emergency blankets, count. ● Use of high-tech materials 4 . Many weigh less than 1kg and compress to the size of a water bottle, ensuring they’re never left behind due to their weight. Waterproof cases protect contents from rain and river crossings. ● 5 High-quality kits range from $50-$150, less than many hiking boots. Considering the potential consequences of untreated injuries in remote areas, this investment proves invaluable. Some kits even include wilderness medicine guides for proper technique application. A wilderness first aid kit isn’t just optional equipment — it’s your frontline defense against nature’s unpredictability. By anticipating risks and packing strategically, adventurers can explore with confidence knowing they’re prepared for the unexpected. A．Investment potential B．Cost-Effective Preparedness C．The nearest clinic is hours away, and your phone has no signal. D．It transforms panic into purposeful action during critical moments. E．Water purification pills are more vital than bandages in survival situations. F．Modern super light fabrics make comprehensive kits surprisingly portable. G．Kits typically include snake bite kits and spider sting relievers for regional dangers. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Classic literature holds timeless wisdom and fascinating stories. 1 Or perhaps you’ve tried reading classics before but didn’t really get the excitement. Don’t worry! Here are some tips that will teach you how to make them an enriching part of your literary journey. Pick the right book. We all have our preferences when it comes to contemporary reads, so why shouldn’t the same be the case for pieces of classic literature? 2 Listen to an audiobook. 3 Plenty of classic books were designed specifically for this purpose. A good audiobook narrator can capture the feel of not only the story but the context and history behind it depending on their tone of voice and delivery. Read slower. Contemporary books can feel rapid at times, while classic works are much more of a marathon to get through. This is partly because, during their initial publishing, many classic books were serialized, 4 Instead of trying to race through a piece of classic literature, try to “go local” and take your time with it, as the author intended. 5 Join online forums or book clubs — discussing Jane Eyre’s feminism (女权主义) with others deepens insights. Create character maps — Russian novels like War and Peace demand tracking complex relationships. Watch film adaptations, like BBC’s Sherlock, to visualize settings before revisiting the text. A．Create mind maps. B．Build support systems. C．meaning readers had to wait weeks to progress. D．requiring readers to submit their interesting stories. E．Maybe you’re eager to tackle classics but don’t know how to start. F．One of the best ways to immerse in a story is hearing it read aloud. G．Think about genres you enjoy and pick a story that suits your interests. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）High-functioning Anxiety (HFA) is a silent challenge, where individuals may look calm and collected on the surface, but experience a whirlwind of stress and worry underneath. Although HFA may be less visible, it is very real. 1 So, how can we put that into practice? Practice mindfulness HFA often comes from a stream of “what if” thoughts: what if I can’t get through this presentation? What if I don’t pass this test? What if they don’t like me? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming. Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle. 2 3 Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done. People with HFA often struggle to say “No”, leading to overcommitment and stress. Take time to understand your needs. Learning to prioritize tasks and setting clear limits can prevent burnout and help maintain a healthier balance. Challenge perfectionism 4 But this is based on your own high standards, the goalposts are always moving. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of growth, that every small step counts, and that your worth is not dependent on a flawless performance. Instead of striving for perfection, aim for progress. Schedule relaxation time For someone with HFA, relaxation might feel like a waste of time when you could be striving toward productivity and perfection. But treat relaxation as essential, just as you would schedule work or personal commitments. 5 Engaging in enjoyable activities can help shift your focus away from stressors, foster a sense of calm, and boost overall well-being. A．Set realistic boundaries. B．Practice agreed boundaries. C．Set aside time for genuine relaxation and hobbies. D．Boundaries are about saying “yes” to yourself and your needs. E．With strategies and support, it’s possible to manage these challenges. F．Techniques such as deep breathing can help shift your focus to the present moment. G．We often believe that if we do everything flawlessly, we’ll finally feel secure, or achieve our goals. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）How to boost your sense of self-worth Self-esteem is a key factor when it comes to your mental and physical health. 1 If you find that your self-esteem is decreasing a little, there are plenty of ways to build it back up again. Redefine your identity Redefine what you base your sense of self-worth on. Instead of “sales manager”, “stock market analyst” or “mother”, start thinking of yourself as “community organizer”, “literacy volunteer”, “great cook”, “gifted gardener” and more. 2 Become conscious of how hard you are being on yourself and react to a negative attitude with positive self-talk. Take time for yourself 3 . This is especially important for those who are often busy caring for others that they neglect their own needs and interests. Keep your body healthy Eat a balanced diet and stay physically active to keep your body in good shape, whether it means taking the stairs more or working out with a personal trainer. 4 . Give yourself kudos Remind yourself of your best qualities and make a list of them. Are you fun to be around, thoughtful, generous? Keep adding to the list and pull it out whenever you need a boost. 5 . For example, if you think you chat on the phone too much, remember that you also value your friends and care for your relationships. A．Talk back to your inner critic. B．Neglect your inner voice. C．It is important to boost your self-worth. D．Learn to see the positive side of your faults, too. E．Read the paper, keep a journal or go for a swim. F．Self-esteem serves as a crucial factor in your healthy conditions. G．You will look better, feel better and have more energy for new activities. 主题02 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江杭州·期中）You’ve survived exam season. 1 ? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. During stressful periods of time, the brain produces cortisol (皮质醇). Cortisol is most famous for activating your brain. But once the source of stress — e. g. exam pressure — is removed, it can leave the body feeling worn out. Here we have some tips to help you recover from those post-exam blues. Don’t worry if you didn’t do well 2 . Take a deep breath and recover before you do anything else. Practicing self - care is incredibly important after finishing your exams. Remember to strike a balance between rest, play and work — now that you have some free time. Clear your notes away Refreshing your room-full-of-flashcards will make it feel like a revision-free zone again. Waking up to a clean desk will remind your brain that you have nothing left to do. Don’t store them since you’ll need to make room for future notes. 3 . Repay your sleep debt It’s time to give yourself a break, as your body and brain have been working hard non-stop. Sleep is the most important thing in maintaining a stable mood. 4 . If you like to unwind by going out with your friends, that’s great — but rest too. 5 It’s over! You finished. It’s important to acknowledge that. Turning up to an exam is a victory, even if it wasn’t your best subject. No matter what happens, you deserve to be proud of yourself for sitting your exams. Treat yourself to a nice meal out, pick up the hobby you sacrificed to study, or spend time with friends. A．Make more friends B．Remember to celebrate C．Do you have a sense of relief D．But why are you feeling frustrated E．Keep only what you need and recycle the rest F．A lack of it can cause negative effects on our health G．If you fail the test, it’s not over, so don’t punish yourself Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many. However, as a first-timer, you probably feel anxious about entering a heavily crowded space with overexcited music enthusiasts. The following tips may help you enjoy the experience. Buy tickets in advance. If the concert is of music by a popular artist, there’s a high chance that tickets may sell out before you can buy them if you don’t get a head start. 1 Wear comfortable clothes. 2 You may have to stand the whole night and wait in long queues. Thus, it is vital that when you go to a concert, you dress comfortably. It is also essential to wear a pair of comfortable shoes. Head to the venue early. Waiting outside the venue for eight hours is not what you should do, but you should be reasonable and get to the venue ahead of time. 3 . For example, you can find a good spot for yourself. 4 . You’ll want your phone fully charged for taking photos and videos, contacting any friends you’ll be attending with, booking a ride home, and other necessary tasks on the day of the concert. There probably won’t be any plugs at the venue. 5 . A．Have your phone fully charged B．So consider packing a power bank just in case C．Remember to take your phone charger with you D．Getting there early will have its own advantages E．Attending a concert will be an exhausting experience F．Because you book your ticket from a reliable company G．Besides, tickets are likely to be cheaper during the pre-selling period. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Talk to people you disagree with Everyone occasionally has disagreements with friends or family members. Sometimes these disagreements are about simple things, like which restaurant makes the best pizza. Other times, they may be about more serious topics, like events happening in the world. 1 Here’s how. 2 You may find that you can’t change the other person’s mind, and they may not change yours. Still, look for points you do agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships and communities. See their perspective Even if you don’t share someone’s point of view, you can still listen to what they have to say. Show that you’re paying attention by listening attentively without interrupting them. Think about how their life experiences may be different from yours, which gives them a different perspective. 3 You can start by saying, “OK. If I understand you, you are saying...” Use respectful language When someone has an opinion you don’t agree with, it can be easy to dismiss it — especially if it’s on a subject you’re passionate about. Some people shoot down others’ opinions by using irony or attacking the person’s judgment. 4 . Instead, focus on speaking calmly. Start with statements that begin with “I” instead of “You”. For example, you might lead your opinion with “I feel” or “I see this another way”. Stick to the facts If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts instead of feelings. Start by asking if you can share your opinion. Then relax your shoulders and say what you would like to say in a calm voice. 5 . Then give the person a chance to respond. A．Change the topic. B．Find common ground. C．If interrupted, politely ask for your turn to speak. D．Avoid using insulting adjectives, like “stupid” or “ridiculous”. E．Stay calm and patient, even if the conversation becomes heated. F．Another way to show you’re listening is by repeating what they said. G．Disagreements can be tough, but you can make conversations more productive. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）The first response in any emergency is to provide the necessary first aid for the injured person while waiting for emergency medical services. 1 If left unattended, the victim could lose his/her life. Different types of injuries and health emergencies require distinct first aid procedures. For cuts and bleeding, the first step is to apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage to promote clotting (凝血) and stop the bleeding. 2 . And it should be applied with caution due to the risk of tissue damage. 3 For a conscious person, perform the Heimlich maneuver by standing behind him/her, placing your fist just above his/her stomach, and delivering quick, upward push-ups until the object is forced out. Note that the Heimlich maneuver is only for conscious individuals; CPR is required for unconscious choking victims. In case of sprains, use the RICE method—Rest, Ice, Compression (压迫), and Elevation. After resting the injured area and applying ice to reduce swelling, it’s important to provide additional support. 4 Whenever a loved one becomes a victim of these emergencies, you will do everything to save his/her life. 5 To be prepared for various emergencies and assist individuals with injuries or health crises, it’s essential to enroll in first aid and CPR certification courses. A．If the bleeding is heavy, use a tight bandage only if nothing else works. B．Wrap the injured area with a bandage and keep it elevated. C．Basic first aid knowledge is important because accidents can happen anywhere. D．If someone is unable to speak, cough, or breathe, immediate action is essential. E．However, you wouldn’t be able to help the victim without the necessary skills. F．First aid is used to help preserve the lives of victims in specific health emergencies. G．Make sure to clean the wound with alcohol before applying pressure. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）What is failure? The inability to achieve something or lack of success is known as a failure. Yes, failure hurts. It makes us feel miserable at times. When we fail in life, it can be difficult to get up again, but let me tell you this: 1 Toughness The first thing that we learn from our failures is toughness, which is one of the most important life skills to build. Building toughness is more useful than we think it is. 2 . Only through toughness can we adopt the appropriate behaviors to overcome change. Toughness can also help us build perseverance and motivation. Modesty All of us know that our egos(自我) are very sensitive. 3 . Most of the time, a healthy dose of failure will keep our egos at bay and they will teach us modesty. Failure, thus, will actually make us modest. Flexibility No matter what happens, we must always learn to be flexible in life. It is a tough pill to swallow because even the best-laid plans can be disrupted. 4 .This is why we must always be flexible, and failure teaches us to be flexible. When we learn to adapt, we can easily overcome challenges and become the best version of ourselves. 5 It is just like flexibility. When we fail at something, it teaches us to approach the problem from a different angle. If you are terrible at something, don’t be ashamed. Work on your skills and learn to tackle the situation from a different perspective and skill. Eventually, you will be successful. Intelligent failures are actually very beneficial for us, bringing us knowledge, insight, and value. Whenever we fall down, the best approach is to pause and reflect. Only that will lead to a better outcome. A．Courage B．Innovation C．We learn more than you think from failures. D．It can actually help us grow a healthy and strong mindset. E．Once out of control, they can become beasts on their own. F．So, humility is a significant component in interpersonal communication. G．However, you can be successful in life and all it takes is a bit of an adjustment. Passage 6 （24-25高二下·浙江衢州·期中）Many people are afraid of international travel, fearing that it is dangerous. 1 This being said, there are safety precautions that every traveler should employ to ensure that their trip remains a joyful one. 2 Create an electronic backup of your medical insurance card, passport, plane tickets, travel insurance, and visas before you leave. Email the file to yourself and keep it in your inbox to access the information from your smartphone if the paperwork is lost or damaged. It might be tempting to keep your cash, credit cards, identification, and traveler’s checks in your wallet, but don’t do it. Keep any money, credit cards, IDs, and checks you won’t be using locked in your hotel room or a safe place. Separate the monetary and identifying items you must carry on you and carry them in different spots on your person. 3 Another thing you might want to do is hang your purse on the back of your chair on a sidewalk or place your bags at your feet. 4 Instead, keep your bags in your lap or at the front of your feet under the table, with the straps wrapped around your leg. Of course, you’ll be talking to the people of the land you visit—that’s the best part of traveling, meeting new people! Don’t get carried away and begin to trust strangers with your life story or personal information. 5 Don’t talk to strangers who don’t look trustworthy, don’t accept food or drink from them, and don’t go anywhere with them unless they are your licensed tour guide and you’re on your booked tour. A．Health insurance might offer you some international coverage. B．Consider what you say to your children and follow the same principle. C．In general, for the most part, traveling throughout the world is very safe. D．This isn’t a good idea because your attention will be drawn to the new sights. E．You’ll be carrying the necessary documentation with you when traveling abroad. F．Cash, credit cards, identification, and traveler’s checks are not worth injury or death. G．This safety tip prevents you from losing everything if somebody should steal your wallet. 主题03 人与社会——文学，艺术与体育 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江衢州·期中）Poetry, with its rhythmic language and layered meanings, invites readers to explore emotions, ideas, and beauty beyond the literal. To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Read aloud for rhythm and sound 1 Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood. 2 Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning. Accept confusion Poems don’t always have one right explanation. 3 Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity. Connect the poem to your life Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. 4 Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination. Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. 5 A．Poems are meant to be heard. B．Learn the background of the poem. C．Compare poems by different authors. D．Poetry is alive when it speaks to you. E．Practice memorizing your favorite lines. F．If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses. G．Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it. Passage 2 （23-24高二下·浙江丽水·期中）How do you spend your after-lunch time before classes resume? Taking a nap? Wandering into the playground or playing with your friends? 1 There are classic sports that students can choose from, of course: soccer, rugby, and tennis. But there is also the opportunity for students to show off their creativity-wall ball. 2 In the game, the ball has to be kept off the ground for as long as possible. Without any boundary markers on the wall or floor, the entire stretch of two walls is the game area. Without bats or rackets, our hands would do the necessary hitting, patting and throwing needed to keep the ball up in the air. 3 They can judge for him or herself when they should make a leap to keep the ball in play and when to give it up to another player. The rules are flexible. 4 Although the structure is usually consistent, with some sort of score recorded on the spot; other times it would descend into chaos, with limbs wildly flailing in the air. Despite this, it is always fun. Wall ball is the game of champions. Success at the sport means instant fame for the student around the school. As more and more teenagers take part in the wall ball, maybe the game students created could also gain more popularity in the future. 5 A．The game is quite simple. B．The game is rather complicated. C．Sometimes a foot could be involved. D．Instead of teams, every student is on their own. E．For students in the UK, they prefer doing sports. F．Maybe one day it will even become a global phenomenon. G．Children in the UK play wall ball to keep active after lunch. Passage 3 （23-24高二下·浙江杭州·期中）On hearing the word vacation, most people react positively. Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with. 1 Family travel is special and creates lasting memories, but it can also have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 2 If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive. 3 Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship. 4 All in all, traveling with friends can be a positive experience that results in a great vacation and, likely, a stronger friendship. Finally, people can choose to travel alone. Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group. 5 And they also have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes since they only need one. In addition, solo travelers are more likely to meet locals or other vacationers because they are more likely to want to talk with others. A．They can change plans more easily. B．Each person tends to cover his or her individual expenses. C．Another potential problem of family travel is transportation. D．Sightseeing and scheduling are not a problem for solo travelers. E．In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories. F．Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons. G．Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with. 主题01 人与社会——历史，社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江宁波·期中）Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad. Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses. 1 George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves. 2 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.” Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created. 3 4 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea. 5 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable. A．The alternative is a bright AI prospect. B．However, the reality could be far worse. C．Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm. D．This means that the Earth is the only place with life. E．By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China. F．Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold. G．Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years. Passage 2 （23-24高二下·浙江·期中）Some people only exercise self-discipline in the parts of their lives they think as necessities — such as turning up to work on time and getting the job done.

G．It can also mean you are more likely to exercise regularly. Passage 3 （23-24高二下·浙江温州·期中）Engaging with the past Imagine you’re at home, you start a role-playing game where you can enjoy views of the Nanjing Qinhuai Lantern Festival, completing set tasks along the Qinhuai River. This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there. 1 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture. This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 2 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 3 ” The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 4 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience. 5 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand. A．And that’s not all. B．These games are also available to players overseas. C．However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的). D．Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players. E．Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out. F．Besides, some figures seen in Dunhuang’s wall paintings were also added to the mobile game. G．It increases the number of channels available to spread knowledge about our cultural heritage. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）“We are what we eat” — or so the saying goes. From calorie-inducing meals to low-fat lunches, much of our health depends on what we eat. 1 , but cooking food is proving to be good for our mental well-being as well. Some people are now advocating the therapeutic (治疗的) value of cooking food. It’s not just about the end result but the experience someone goes through. Dr. Mark Salter told the BBC, “Baking and cooking can help patients develop planning skills, short-term memory and social skills. 2 . Therefore, baking and cooking are good occupational therapies.” TV chef and author Nadiya Hussain agrees that cooking is great for helping our mind. She loves to bake and became the champion of the TV show, The Great British Bake Off. She says that “Baking’s always been about therapy. 3 .” And she thinks that baking is an important tool for our socialization and mental health. Certainly, creating some delicious food has helped some of us get through tough times. 4 . People have said that making bread, for example, has given them a sense of calm and control. Research has also shown that doing creative tasks, like cooking, makes us feel happier. Nicole Farmer said, “Cooking represents the shared human experience of food, so I think that’s where it offers opportunity for immediate positive emotions.” 5 . As we mix with friends and family in the kitchen, we enjoy the benefits of shared moments that put us all in the right frame of mind. A．It’s never really been about the cake. B．All of these skills suffer in mental illness. C．It requires great skills to become an excellent baker. D．It’s helped take our mind off things and given us something to do. E．We know about the benefits of eating properly for our physical well-being. F．Of course, cooking can be a very sociable activity and a rewarding experience. G．Remember what we eat has a strong impact on our health both physically and mentally. 主题02 人与社会—科学与技术 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）True, some of us find sweating takes effort and is even a little unpleasant. 1 Here are some pretty incredible reasons why sweating is good for you. ● Defeat Harmful Microbes (微生物) Working up a sweat is good for the immune system. 2 It turns out that sweat can defeat certain harmful bacteria and viruses in the body. ● Protect the Heart Healthy sweating increases blood flow and strengthens the cardiovascular (心血管) system. In one study, those with the most weekly exercise sessions were the least likely to have a negative cardiovascular event. Sports also improve relaxation and reduce stress. 3 ● Speed Recovery After Exercise Sweating increases blood flow to the skeletal muscles and improves well-being. 4 Studies show sweating event increases growth hormone production. It is the body’s way of repairing itself. ● Lower Stress Hormones Sweating also activates the parasympathetic response (副交感神经反应) in the body. This de-stress mode helps us to relax, digest, and recover. Breaking a sweat through exercise helps relieve anxiety and depression. After we sweat, stress hormones go down. No matter how much we might not enjoy sweating, it’s completely normal. It can keep us healthy as we move through our days. 5 I’d say that’s a resounding yes! A．So is sweating good for you? B．Breaking a sweat can save your life. C．That is good for heart and mental health. D．But the health benefits of sweating are obvious E．This in turn helps recover from illness, injury, and muscle strain. F．In a way, sweating can influence your confidence and well-being. G．Studies show sweating can cut our chance of getting the flu by one-third! Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江杭州·期中）The Psychology of Habit Formation Habits play a crucial role in shaping our daily lives. From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, many of our actions are driven by routines we barely think about. 1 Psychologists, however, have spent decades studying how habits form and how we can use this knowledge to create positive changes in our lives. Psychologists have identified a universal pattern in habit creation known as the habit cycle, comprising three phases: a cue, a repeated behavior, and a reward. Take, for instance, someone who automatically reaches for snacks when bored (cue), eats cookies (repeated behavior), and experiences instant comfort (reward). 2 Another important factor in habit formation is the environment. Studies show that people who perform a new behavior at the same time and place each day are more likely to turn it into a habit. 3 “Rather than relying on the willpower, which comes and goes, successful habit change depends on designing an environment that encourages the behavior,” explains Dr. Lisa Carter, a behavioral psychologist. 4 Many people believe it takes exactly 21 days to form a habit, but research suggests that the time varies widely depending on the complexity of the behavior and the individual’s personality. Some simple habits can form in a few weeks, while others may take several months. The key is persistence and patience. If you’re looking to change your habits, start small and build gradually. Set clear cues, establish a routine, and ensure there is a reward to reinforce the behavior. 5 By applying psychological principles, you can take control of your habits and shape a healthier, more productive life. A．This cyclical process gradually strengthens the habit, making it automatic. B．Yet few of us stop to consider how these habits are formed. C．Such repetition demands considerable mental effort to keep. D．Without a stable environment, new habits are unlikely to stick. E．One common question about habits is how long they take to form. F．Many people mistakenly believe that willpower alone is enough. G．Small, consistent actions are more effective than sudden drastic changes. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. 1 Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely. We’re also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups, we humans have needed to know who’s “part of the pack”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection. 2 In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have got flu. And guess what? Those “contaminated (受污染的)” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall. None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later — just in case it could keep them safe. 3 When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to? Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell! 4 Your instinct for self-protection keeps things in your thought more than normally. Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! 5 A．It enables us to have a disgustingly good memory. B．Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills. C．We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes. D．It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage. E．To sharpen our brain, we visualize everything as what we hate. F．Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one. G．But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall. Passage 4 （23-24高二下·浙江台州·期中）In daily life, there exist some nutrition myths (谬见) that people firmly believe. 1 But research shows that’s not the case. Here are 3 common nutrition myths and what health experts want you to know. MYTH 1: Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier Despite the long-lasting belief that “fresh is best,” research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh. 2 And it’s an easy way to make sure there are always fruits and vegetables available at home. One warning: some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain added sugars and fats, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on prepared foods. Choose the ones that keep those ingredients to a minimum. MYTH2: All fat is bad 3 Instead of this helping us stay slim, rates of overweight and obese people went up significantly. In reality, not all fats are bad. It’s true that certain types, including trans fats, can increase your risk for heart disease or stroke. 4 Examples of those include fats from fish, sunflower and some nuts. Good fats also supply energy, produce important hormones, support cell function and aid in the absorption of some nutrients. MYTH 3: Potatoes are bad for you Potatoes have been disliked because of their high GI (升糖指数). However, research has shown that potatoes can actually be beneficial for health. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients. They are also inexpensive and available year-round. 5 A．They can also be a money saver as they are cheaper. B．However, healthy fats can help reduce your health risk. C．For example, plant-based drinks are healthier than dairy milk. D．The healthiest ways to prepare them include baking and boiling. E．If you consume more calories than you burn, you’ll probably get fat. F．Many people replaced calories from fat with calories from added sugar. G．You’d better choose products with simple ingredients and no added sugars. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 七选五 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江台州·期中）Bathed in two cultures from childhood, moving around the world and experiencing different cultures has always been my thing.

Practice mindfulness HFA often comes from a stream of “what if” thoughts: what if I can’t get through this presentation? What if I don’t pass this test? What if they don’t like me? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? These looping questions can feel overwhelming. Practice regular mindfulness exercises to break this cycle. 2 3 Most of us know we should set them, yet putting them into practice can be easier said than done.

Don’t worry — you’re not alone. During stressful periods of time, the brain produces cortisol (皮质醇). Cortisol is most famous for activating your brain. But once the source of stress — e. g. exam pressure — is removed, it can leave the body feeling worn out. Here we have some tips to help you recover from those post-exam blues. Don’t worry if you didn’t do well 2 . Take a deep breath and recover before you do anything else. Practicing self - care is incredibly important after finishing your exams. Remember to strike a balance between rest, play and work — now that you have some free time. Clear your notes away Refreshing your room-full-of-flashcards will make it feel like a revision-free zone again. Waking up to a clean desk will remind your brain that you have nothing left to do. Don’t store them since you’ll need to make room for future notes. 3 . Repay your sleep debt It’s time to give yourself a break, as your body and brain have been working hard non-stop. Sleep is the most important thing in maintaining a stable mood. 4 . If you like to unwind by going out with your friends, that’s great — but rest too. 5 It’s over! You finished. It’s important to acknowledge that. Turning up to an exam is a victory, even if it wasn’t your best subject. No matter what happens, you deserve to be proud of yourself for sitting your exams. Treat yourself to a nice meal out, pick up the hobby you sacrificed to study, or spend time with friends. A．Make more friends B．Remember to celebrate C．Do you have a sense of relief D．But why are you feeling frustrated E．Keep only what you need and recycle the rest F．A lack of it can cause negative effects on our health G．If you fail the test, it’s not over, so don’t punish yourself 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．E 4．F 5．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章讨论了考试季后如何缓解压力和恢复精力。 1．根据上文“You’ve survived exam season.(你挺过了考试季)”和下文“Don’t worry — you’re not alone.(别担心，你并不孤单)”可知，这里讲到挺过了考试的压力，设空处应承上启下。D项“但你为什么会感到沮丧呢”与前文构成转折而承上，与后文构成关联而启下。故选D。 2．根据上文“Don’t worry if you didn’t do well(如果你做得不好也不用担心)”以及下文“Take a deep breath and recover before you do anything else. Practicing self-care is incredibly important after finishing your exams. Remember to strike a balance between rest, play and work — now that you have some free time.(先深吸一口气，恢复一下精力，然后再做其他事情。在完成考试后，注重自我照顾是非常重要的。要记得在休息、娱乐和工作之间找到平衡——既然你现在有了一些空闲时间)”可知，此处建议不要过于担心考试成绩，G项“如果你考试没通过，这并不意味着一切就完了，所以不要惩罚自己”与之相符。且下文“考试结束后，自我照顾是非常重要的”对G项中“不要惩罚自己”做出了解释。故选G。 3．根据前句“Don’t store them since you’ll need to make room for future notes.(不要把它们储存起来，因为你需要为以后的笔记腾出空间)”可知，此处建议清理笔记，提到为以后的笔记腾出空间，本句承接“don’t store them”，给出保留笔记的具体处理方式，故E项“只保留你需要的，剩下的回收利用”符合语境。故选E。 4．根据前句“Sleep is the most important thing in maintaining a stable mood.(睡眠是保持稳定情绪最重要的事情)”可知，该段强调睡眠的重要性，F项“缺乏它会对我们的健康造成负面影响”通过对比强化睡眠的必要性，与“sleep is the most important thing”形成呼应。故选F。 5．根据下文“It’s over! You finished. It’s important to acknowledge that. Turning up to an exam is a victory, even if it wasn’t your best subject. No matter what happens, you deserve to be proud of yourself for sitting your exams. Treat yourself to a nice meal out, pick up the hobby you sacrificed to study, or spend time with friends.(结束了！你完成了。这一点很重要，要承认这一点。参加考试本身就是一种胜利，即便那不是你最擅长的科目。无论结果如何，你都应该为自己参加考试而感到自豪。给自己安排一顿丰盛的外出就餐体验，重新拾起你为了学习而放弃的爱好，或者与朋友共度时光)”可知，该部分主要建议：无论结果如何，要为考试结束庆祝一番。B项“记得庆祝”符合本部分主旨。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many.

Sometimes these disagreements are about simple things, like which restaurant makes the best pizza. Other times, they may be about more serious topics, like events happening in the world. 1 Here’s how. 2 You may find that you can’t change the other person’s mind, and they may not change yours. Still, look for points you do agree on. You may also gain a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships and communities. See their perspective Even if you don’t share someone’s point of view, you can still listen to what they have to say. Show that you’re paying attention by listening attentively without interrupting them. Think about how their life experiences may be different from yours, which gives them a different perspective. 3 You can start by saying, “OK. If I understand you, you are saying...” Use respectful language When someone has an opinion you don’t agree with, it can be easy to dismiss it — especially if it’s on a subject you’re passionate about. Some people shoot down others’ opinions by using irony or attacking the person’s judgment. 4 . Instead, focus on speaking calmly. Start with statements that begin with “I” instead of “You”. For example, you might lead your opinion with “I feel” or “I see this another way”. Stick to the facts If you have a strong opinion, you can make a better case for it with facts instead of feelings. Start by asking if you can share your opinion. Then relax your shoulders and say what you would like to say in a calm voice. 5 . Then give the person a chance to respond. A．Change the topic. B．Find common ground. C．If interrupted, politely ask for your turn to speak. D．Avoid using insulting adjectives, like “stupid” or “ridiculous”.

When we learn to adapt, we can easily overcome challenges and become the best version of ourselves. 5 It is just like flexibility. When we fail at something, it teaches us to approach the problem from a different angle. If you are terrible at something, don’t be ashamed. Work on your skills and learn to tackle the situation from a different perspective and skill. Eventually, you will be successful.

Keep any money, credit cards, IDs, and checks you won’t be using locked in your hotel room or a safe place. Separate the monetary and identifying items you must carry on you and carry them in different spots on your person. 3 Another thing you might want to do is hang your purse on the back of your chair on a sidewalk or place your bags at your feet. 4 Instead, keep your bags in your lap or at the front of your feet under the table, with the straps wrapped around your leg. Of course, you’ll be talking to the people of the land you visit—that’s the best part of traveling, meeting new people! Don’t get carried away and begin to trust strangers with your life story or personal information. 5 Don’t talk to strangers who don’t look trustworthy, don’t accept food or drink from them, and don’t go anywhere with them unless they are your licensed tour guide and you’re on your booked tour.

To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Read aloud for rhythm and sound 1 Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood. 2 Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning. Accept confusion Poems don’t always have one right explanation. 3 Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity. Connect the poem to your life Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. 4 Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination. Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. 5 A．Poems are meant to be heard. B．Learn the background of the poem. C．Compare poems by different authors. D．Poetry is alive when it speaks to you. E．Practice memorizing your favorite lines. F．If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses. G．Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．F 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何深入欣赏和理解诗歌的方法，包括大声朗读感受节奏和声音、了解诗歌的背景、接受诗歌的模糊性、将诗歌与个人生活联系起来等。 1．根据下文“Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood.(慢慢地大声朗读这首诗。留意它的韵律、韵脚或重复的声音。例如，埃德加・爱伦・坡的《乌鸦》采用了紧张的节拍，而兰斯顿・休斯的《梦想》则有着柔和的节奏。它们听起来是欢快的、悲伤的，还是急切的呢？一首诗的“音乐性”往往反映了它的情感基调。)”可知，下文内容围绕大声朗读诗歌展开。选项A“Poems are meant to be heard.(诗歌就是用来被聆听的。)”强调了诗歌需要被听到，与大声朗读相呼应，符合该段语境。故选A。 2．空处为小标题。为本段主要内容。根据下文“Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning.(理解一首诗的历史、文化或作者生平背景可以丰富对它的解读。弄清楚这首诗创作于何时，或者诗人的生活是怎样的，这会对你有很大帮助。但也不必过于紧张——即使只是快速地在谷歌上搜索一下也能增添对诗歌的理解。)”可知，本段主要讲的是了解诗歌的背景知识。选项B“Learn the background of the poem.(了解诗歌的背景)”符合该段主旨，与本段内容相符。故选B。 3．根据上文“Poems don’t always have one right explanation.(诗歌并不总是只有一个正确的解释。)”以及下文“Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调).(也许莎士比亚的《十四行诗第18首》既是一首爱情诗，也是对陈词滥调的一种调侃。)”可知，上下文都在说诗歌理解的不确定性。选项F“If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses.(如果一行诗让你感到困惑，写下你的猜测。)”与接受困惑以及诗歌解释的不确定性相契合，符合上下文语境。故选F。 4．根据上文“Let your emotions guide your understanding.

Taking a nap? Wandering into the playground or playing with your friends? 1 There are classic sports that students can choose from, of course: soccer, rugby, and tennis. But there is also the opportunity for students to show off their creativity-wall ball. 2 In the game, the ball has to be kept off the ground for as long as possible. Without any boundary markers on the wall or floor, the entire stretch of two walls is the game area. Without bats or rackets, our hands would do the necessary hitting, patting and throwing needed to keep the ball up in the air. 3 They can judge for him or herself when they should make a leap to keep the ball in play and when to give it up to another player. The rules are flexible. 4 Although the structure is usually consistent, with some sort of score recorded on the spot; other times it would descend into chaos, with limbs wildly flailing in the air. Despite this, it is always fun. Wall ball is the game of champions. Success at the sport means instant fame for the student around the school. As more and more teenagers take part in the wall ball, maybe the game students created could also gain more popularity in the future. 5 A．The game is quite simple. B．The game is rather complicated. C．Sometimes a foot could be involved. D．Instead of teams, every student is on their own. E．For students in the UK, they prefer doing sports. F．Maybe one day it will even become a global phenomenon.

Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with. 1 Family travel is special and creates lasting memories, but it can also have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 2 If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive. 3 Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship. 4 All in all, traveling with friends can be a positive experience that results in a great vacation and, likely, a stronger friendship. Finally, people can choose to travel alone. Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group. 5 And they also have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes since they only need one. In addition, solo travelers are more likely to meet locals or other vacationers because they are more likely to want to talk with others. A．They can change plans more easily. B．Each person tends to cover his or her individual expenses. C．Another potential problem of family travel is transportation. D．Sightseeing and scheduling are not a problem for solo travelers. E．In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories. F．Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons. G．Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．F 4．E 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是旅行时选择与谁同行的重要性，并比较了与家人、朋友以及独自旅行的不同体验。 1．空前“Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with.(有经验的旅行者会说，和谁一起去度假比去哪里更重要。)”说明有经验的旅行者认为和谁一起去度假比去哪里更重要，空格处内容应该与“和谁一起去度假”有关，G选项“Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with.(假期可以根据度假者选择和谁一起旅行来分类。)”说明了假期可以根据度假者选择和谁一起旅行来分类，是跟“和谁一起去度假”有关的内容，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 2．空前“For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another.(首先，旅行的成功往往取决于家庭成员彼此之间的关系。)”说明了旅行成功首先是取决于家庭成员彼此之间的关系，空格处应该说另一个问题，空后“If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive.(如果一个家庭乘飞机旅行，为每个人购买机票可能会非常昂贵。)”说明的是交通方面的问题，因此空格处应该引出交通这个问题，C选项“Another potential problem of family travel is transportation.(家庭旅行的另一个潜在问题是交通。)”说明了家庭的另一个潜在问题是交通，既和前面的“For one”相承接，也引出了下文的交通问题，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 3．空后“Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(亲密的朋友往往有相似的性格，所以他们通常会相处得很好，比家庭成员在旅行中打架要少。此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了和朋友一起出去旅游是很好的，空格处应该引出“和朋友出去旅游”这个话题，F选项“Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons.(和朋友一起旅行可能是一次难忘的经历，原因有几个。)”引出了和朋友出去旅游这个话题，说明了和朋友出去旅游是难忘的，因此引出下文，符合语境，故选F。 4．空前“Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了如果和亲密的朋友出去旅游，即使是可怕的旅游也不会破坏友谊，空格处应该继续这个话题，说可怕的旅游不会破坏友谊，却会给友谊带来好处，E选项“In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories.(事实上，友谊往往会随着旅行的回忆而加强。)”说明了友谊会随着旅行的回忆加强，说明了旅游给友谊带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 5．空前“Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group.(独自旅行的人在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活。)”说明了独自旅行在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活，空格处应该说明灵活体现在什么方面，A选项“They can change plans more easily.(他们可以更容易地改变计划。)”说明了他们可以更容易地改变计划，体现了灵活性，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 主题01 人与社会——历史，社会与文化 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·浙江宁波·期中）Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad. Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses. 1 George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves. 2 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.” Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created. 3 4 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea. 5 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable. A．The alternative is a bright AI prospect. B．However, the reality could be far worse. C．Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm. D．This means that the Earth is the only place with life. E．By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China. F．Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold.

This is one way for video games to enjoy the traditional Chinese culture without having to travel there. 1 Perfect World Games, an online gaming company, recently invited a group of heritage experts including Chen Haitao, a designer from the Dunhuang Academy; and Zhou Xianguang, an inheritor of Longquan sword intangible (非物质的) cultural heritage — to Beijing to discuss new ways to promote traditional Chinese culture. This year, Zhou was invited to submit designs for swords in its online mobile game Jade Dynasty. They kept the features of swords that were used during the Tang Dynasty but absorbed fairy and knight-themed elements from the game. 2 That enabled players to know another aspect of Chinese heritage. Zhou says, “Since games are welcomed by young people, we can make them familiar with traditional culture as they play. 3 ” The trend toward combining games with cultural heritage started decades ago. 4 Traditional culture once served merely as a background to the gameplay, and failed to offer a detailed experience. Now the company digs out details and divides them into small sections, and focuses on their unique cultural points, so players can gain a deeper experience. 5 Some overseas players also have a strong interest in Chinese culture, but may find it too difficult to understand. So the company tries to convey the culture in ways they are familiar with to help them better understand. A．And that’s not all. B．These games are also available to players overseas. C．However, these early attempts were described as “vague” (含糊的). D．Games featuring traditional culture attract more young players. E．Several decades ago, the practice of sword-making nearly died out.

In one study, those with the most weekly exercise sessions were the least likely to have a negative cardiovascular event. Sports also improve relaxation and reduce stress. 3 ● Speed Recovery After Exercise Sweating increases blood flow to the skeletal muscles and improves well-being. 4 Studies show sweating event increases growth hormone production. It is the body’s way of repairing itself. ● Lower Stress Hormones Sweating also activates the parasympathetic response (副交感神经反应) in the body. This de-stress mode helps us to relax, digest, and recover. Breaking a sweat through exercise helps relieve anxiety and depression. After we sweat, stress hormones go down. No matter how much we might not enjoy sweating, it’s completely normal. It can keep us healthy as we move through our days. 5 I’d say that’s a resounding yes! A．So is sweating good for you? B．Breaking a sweat can save your life. C．That is good for heart and mental health.

From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, many of our actions are driven by routines we barely think about. 1 Psychologists, however, have spent decades studying how habits form and how we can use this knowledge to create positive changes in our lives. Psychologists have identified a universal pattern in habit creation known as the habit cycle, comprising three phases: a cue, a repeated behavior, and a reward. Take, for instance, someone who automatically reaches for snacks when bored (cue), eats cookies (repeated behavior), and experiences instant comfort (reward). 2 Another important factor in habit formation is the environment. Studies show that people who perform a new behavior at the same time and place each day are more likely to turn it into a habit. 3 “Rather than relying on the willpower, which comes and goes, successful habit change depends on designing an environment that encourages the behavior,” explains Dr. Lisa Carter, a behavioral psychologist. 4 Many people believe it takes exactly 21 days to form a habit, but research suggests that the time varies widely depending on the complexity of the behavior and the individual’s personality. Some simple habits can form in a few weeks, while others may take several months. The key is persistence and patience. If you’re looking to change your habits, start small and build gradually. Set clear cues, establish a routine, and ensure there is a reward to reinforce the behavior. 5 By applying psychological principles, you can take control of your habits and shape a healthier, more productive life. A．This cyclical process gradually strengthens the habit, making it automatic. B．Yet few of us stop to consider how these habits are formed. C．Such repetition demands considerable mental effort to keep. D．Without a stable environment, new habits are unlikely to stick. E．One common question about habits is how long they take to form. F．Many people mistakenly believe that willpower alone is enough. G．Small, consistent actions are more effective than sudden drastic changes. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．E 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了习惯形成的心理学原理。 1．上文“From the moment we wake up to the time we go to bed, many of our actions are driven by routines we barely think about.( 从我们醒来的那一刻到我们上床睡觉的那一刻，我们的许多行为都是由我们几乎没有想到的常规驱动的)”指出我们很多行为是由几乎不去思考的日常惯例驱动的，B选项“Yet few of us stop to consider how these habits are formed.( 然而我们很少有人停下来思考这些习惯是如何形成的)”与前文形成转折，且引出了下文心理学家对习惯形成的研究，符合语境。故选B项。 2．根据上文“Take, for instance, someone who automatically reaches for snacks when bored (cue), eats cookies (repeated behavior), and experiences instant comfort (reward).( 举个例子，有些人在无聊的时候会自动去拿零食（暗示），吃饼干（重复的行为），并体验即时的安慰（奖励）)”介绍了习惯循环的三个阶段“a cue, a repeated behavior, and a reward”，并举例说明，A 选项“This cyclical process gradually strengthens the habit, making it automatic.( 这个循环过程逐渐强化习惯，使其成为自动的)”中的“This cyclical process”指代前文的习惯循环，进一步说明这个循环过程对习惯的强化作用。故选A项。 3．根据上文“Another important factor in habit formation is the environment. Studies show that people who perform a new behavior at the same time and place each day are more likely to turn it into a habit.( 习惯形成的另一个重要因素是环境。研究表明，每天在同一时间、同一地点做一种新行为的人更有可能把它变成一种习惯)”提到环境以及强调环境对习惯形成的重要性，D选项“Without a stable environment, new habits are unlikely to stick.( 没有稳定的环境，新习惯不太可能持续下去。)”进一步说明了稳定环境对新习惯养成的必要性，与前文内容一致。故选D项。 4．根据下文“Many people believe it takes exactly 21 days to form a habit, but research suggests that the time varies widely depending on the complexity of the behavior and the individual’s personality.( 许多人认为养成一个习惯正好需要21天，但是研究表明，时间的长短取决于行为的复杂程度和个人的个性。)”讨论了习惯形成所需的时间，E选项“One common question about habits is how long they take to form.( 关于习惯的一个常见问题是它们需要多长时间形成。)”引出了后文关于习惯形成时间的内容，符合上下文逻辑。故选E项。 5．根据上文“If you’re looking to change your habits, start small and build gradually. Set clear cues, establish a routine, and ensure there is a reward to reinforce the behavior.( 如果你想改变你的习惯，从小处开始，循序渐进。设置明确的线索，建立例行程序，并确保有奖励来加强行为。)”提到建议改变习惯要从小处开始，逐步建立，G选项“Small, consistent actions are more effective than sudden drastic changes.( 小而持续的行动比突然的剧烈改变更有效。)”进一步解释了为什么要从小处开始逐步改变习惯，与前文内容相呼应。故选G项。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·浙江·期中）Many of our memory systems are driven by one single, powerful urge: to survive. 1 Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely. We’re also naturally talented at recognizing faces. Ever since we lived in groups, we humans have needed to know who’s “part of the pack”, and who isn’t, as a vital part of staying safe. And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection. 2 In the study, volunteers were shown a set of objects that they would be tested on later. But there was a twist. Some of the items were held by a researcher who was said to have got flu. And guess what? Those “contaminated (受污染的)” objects proved to be significantly easier to recall. None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later — just in case it could keep them safe. 3 When you’ve got something important to remember, why not “tag” it with one of those unpleasant feelings that your brain can’t help holding on to? Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell! 4 Your instinct for self-protection keeps things in your thought more than normally. Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge! 5 A．It enables us to have a disgustingly good memory. B．Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills. C．We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes. D．It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage. E．To sharpen our brain, we visualize everything as what we hate. F．Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one. G．But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕人类的记忆系统展开，解释了记忆系统如何受到生存本能的驱动，以及如何利用这种本能来提高记忆能力。 1．根据下文“Therefore, we can navigate our local environments safely.(因此，我们能够安全地在我们当地的环境中辨别方向。)”推知，空处指出我们可以辨别方向的原因。选项C“We seem to be born with the ability to remember routes.(我们似乎生来就有记住路线的能力)”指出我们天生有记住路线的能力，所以我们能安全辨别方向，符合逻辑。故选C。 2．根据上文“And we’re excellent at remembering things that might put our well-being at risk. A recent research showed that we’re remarkably accurate at recalling anything connected with infection.(而且我们非常擅长记住那些可能会危及我们自身健康的事物。最近的一项研究表明，我们在回忆任何与感染有关的事物时都极其准确。)”可知，我们在回忆任何与感染有关的事物时都极其准确。选项B“Even imaginary dangers can sharpen our memory skills.(即使是想象中的危险也能提高我们的记忆能力。)”延续上文内容，指出哪怕危险是想象出来的，也能提高我们的记忆能力。故选B。 3．根据上文“None of the volunteers would ever have to touch those things themselves. But their minds still prioritized them, locking in the information for later— just in case it could keep them safe.(实际上，没有一个志愿者需要亲自去触碰那些物品。但他们的大脑仍然优先处理与这些物品相关的信息，将这些信息储存起来以备日后之需——万一这些信息能保障他们的安全呢。)”可知，大脑会将这些物品的相关信息自动存储起来。选项D“It’s an involuntary response that you can use to your advantage.(这是一种不由自主的反应，你可以利用它为自己谋利。)”概括了上文的内容，指出这是一种无意识的、但有利于生存的反应。故选D。 4．根据上文“Worried about forgetting the milk from your shopping list? Picture the bottle, and imagine opening it only to discover that it’s weeks out of date. Think about how it would look — and smell!(担心会忘记购物清单上的牛奶吗？想象一下那个牛奶瓶，再想象一下打开它却发现已经过期好几个星期了。想想它的样子——还有气味！)”可知，上文提到了过期牛奶的味道。选项F“Thanks to the power of disgust, you’ll have a better chance of remembering the fresh one.(多亏了厌恶的力量，你更有可能记住要买新鲜的牛奶。)”中的“the power of disgust”对应前文对过期牛奶的厌恶想象，“remembering the fresh one”与前文记住购物清单上的牛奶相呼应。故选F。 5．根据上文“Don’t try this technique too often, though, or you’ll end up always feeling on edge!(不过，不要过于频繁地使用这种方法，否则你最终会一直处于紧张不安的状态！)”可知，上文指出这种方法不能频繁使用。选项G“But, when your memory needs a boost, a bit of negative feelings can be healthy for your recall.(但是，当你的记忆力需要提升时，一点负面情绪对你的回忆会有好处。)”总结了全文主旨，即利用一些负面的情绪或想象来提高记忆力。虽然这种方法不能过度使用，但在需要时是一种有效的记忆技巧。故选G。 Passage 4 （23-24高二下·浙江台州·期中）In daily life, there exist some nutrition myths (谬见) that people firmly believe. 1 But research shows that’s not the case. Here are 3 common nutrition myths and what health experts want you to know. MYTH 1: Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier Despite the long-lasting belief that “fresh is best,” research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh. 2 And it’s an easy way to make sure there are always fruits and vegetables available at home. One warning: some canned, frozen and dried varieties contain added sugars and fats, so be sure to read nutrition labels, especially on prepared foods. Choose the ones that keep those ingredients to a minimum. MYTH2: All fat is bad 3 Instead of this helping us stay slim, rates of overweight and obese people went up significantly. In reality, not all fats are bad. It’s true that certain types, including trans fats, can increase your risk for heart disease or stroke. 4 Examples of those include fats from fish, sunflower and some nuts. Good fats also supply energy, produce important hormones, support cell function and aid in the absorption of some nutrients. MYTH 3: Potatoes are bad for you Potatoes have been disliked because of their high GI (升糖指数). However, research has shown that potatoes can actually be beneficial for health. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients. They are also inexpensive and available year-round. 5 A．They can also be a money saver as they are cheaper. B．However, healthy fats can help reduce your health risk. C．For example, plant-based drinks are healthier than dairy milk. D．The healthiest ways to prepare them include baking and boiling. E．If you consume more calories than you burn, you’ll probably get fat. F．Many people replaced calories from fat with calories from added sugar. G．You’d better choose products with simple ingredients and no added sugars. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．F 4．B 5．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3个常见的营养误区和健康专家的观点。 1．下文“But research shows that’s not the case.(但是研究表明事实并非如此。)”说明研究表明事实并不是那样，选项C“例如，植物性饮料比牛奶更健康。”与下文构成转折语义，下文中的“that”指代C项的内容。故选C项。 2．上文“Despite the long-lasting belief that “fresh is best,” research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can be just as nutritious as fresh.(尽管人们一直认为“新鲜最好”，但研究发现，冷冻、罐装和干果蔬菜和新鲜水果一样有营养。)”说明冷冻、罐装和干果蔬菜和新鲜水果一样有营养，选项A“它们也可以省钱，因为它们更便宜。”承接上文，讲述冷冻、罐装和干果蔬菜的好处，选项A中的“They”指代上文中的“frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables”。故选A项。 3．下文“Instead of this helping us stay slim, rates of overweight and obese people went up significantly.(这不仅没有帮助我们保持苗条，超重和肥胖的人的比例反而显著上升。)”说明这种做法不仅不能帮助保持苗条，还会导致超重和肥胖，选项F“许多人用添加糖的热量来代替脂肪中的热量。”引起下文，用添加糖的热量来代替脂肪中的热量，不能帮助保持苗条，还会导致超重和肥胖，下文中的“this”指代F项的内容。故选F项。 4．上文“In reality, not all fats are bad. It’s true that certain types, including trans fats, can increase your risk for heart disease or stroke.(事实上，并非所有的脂肪都是有害的。的确，某些类型的脂肪，包括反式脂肪，会增加患心脏病或中风的风险。)”说明并非所有的脂肪都是有害的，反式脂肪确实有害，选项B“然而，健康的脂肪可以帮助你降低健康风险。”与上文构成转折关系，引起下文“Examples of those include fats from fish, sunflower and some nuts. Good fats also supply energy, produce important hormones, support cell function and aid in the absorption of some nutrients.(这些例子包括来自鱼、向日葵和一些坚果的脂肪。好的脂肪还能提供能量，产生重要的激素，支持细胞功能，帮助吸收一些营养物质。)”，是对B项中的“healthy fats”举例说明。故选B项。 5．上文“Potatoes have been disliked because of their high GI(升糖指数). However, research has shown that potatoes can actually be beneficial for health. Potatoes are rich in vitamin C, fiber and other nutrients. They are also inexpensive and available year-round.(土豆因其高升糖指数而不受欢迎。然而，研究表明，土豆实际上对健康有益。土豆富含维生素C、纤维和其他营养物质。它们也很便宜，全年都可以买到。)”说明土豆富含营养且价格便宜，实际上对健康有益，选项D“最健康的制作方法包括烘焙和煮沸。”承接上文，土豆的健康制作方法包括烘焙和煮沸，D项中的“them”指代上文中的“Potatoes”。故选D项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
