Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省遂宁高级实验学校·期中)
Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背). 1 Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current (现在的) one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize, new words.
Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment. Hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen. 2 That way you’ll find yourself frequently noticing them as you go about your day. You can also draw a small picture showing the meaning of the word beside it.
Make the new words part of your life. 3 For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure”, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: “My new cup is a beautiful azure color.”
4 The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it and learn from it. There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online. Make the most of these resources, and you will make unexpected progress.
Revise the words. Not everyone has a great memory (记忆力). 5 After revising them a couple of times, make sure you are confident with their use.
A.Turn learning into a game.
B.Luckily, that’s far from the case.
C.Choose a book that you would like to read.
D.You can write new words into sentences related to your own life.
E.So even if you’ve got those words remembered, you still need a review.
F.Add new words and their meanings to the hanging paper as you see them.
G.You want to have somewhere to look up the meaning of the word when you need to.
【答案】1.B 2.F 3.D 4.A 5.E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种记单词的方法。
1.根据空前“Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背).(很多人觉得很难对学习新单词产生兴趣,因为他们认为只是死记硬背。)”和空后“Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current (现在的) one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize, new words.(不论你是在学一门新的语言,或者是提升现在所学的语言,有很多的工具能帮助你学习新单词,而不仅仅是记住新的单词。)”可知,空前提出很多人学习新词汇只是死记硬背,空后提出有很多工具可以帮助学校,故B项“幸运的是,情况远远不是这样。”符合,承上启下,B项中的“that”指代前文提到的“死记硬背”,故选B项。
2.根据空前“Hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen.(把大张空白的纸挂在你经常出入的地方,比如说浴室或者厨房。)”可知,F项“将新单词以及它们的意思写在你能经常看到的这白纸上。”是空前的顺义承接,把空白纸挂在你经常出入的地方,并将新的单词写在纸上来帮助自己学习新的单词,选项中的“the hanging paper”呼应前文的“Hang large blank pieces of paper”。故选F项。
3.根据空后“For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure”, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: “My new cup is a beautiful azure color.”(比如,如果你想要学习使用‘天蓝色’这个单词,就将它写进几个与你所处情况相关的句子里:我的新被子是漂亮的天蓝色。)”可知,空后举例,要将新学的单词写进与自己平时生活相关的句子里,故D项“你可以将单词写进与自己生活相关的句子里。”符合,故选D项。
4.根据空后“There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online.(网上有很多免费的词汇学习游戏。)”可知,空后提出了通过游戏学习单词的方法,故A项“将学习变成一种游戏”符合本段主旨,故选A项。
5.根据空前“Not everyone has a great memory (记忆力).(并非每个人都有着超强记忆力。)”可知,空前提出了并非每个人的记忆力都是很好的,故E项“因此,即使这些单词你都记住了,你仍然需要复习。”符合,前后构成因果关系,故选E项。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省成都市·期中)
Learning a foreign language can feel like climbing Mount Everest — there’s so much work to be done, and no shortcuts to take. However, as it turns out, there are many ways to make language learning simpler and more pleasing. 6
Take a language course. The first tip on our list is obvious — join a course as it will guide you through the foreign language relatively quickly. 1 But in each case, it is important to ask around and choose a program that focuses on conversation.
2 This must be everyone’s favorite language learning tip. There’s no better way to learn a foreign language than to visit a given country and talk with the locals.
Learn the right words. 3 This is, of course, nearly impossible and you should try a different approach. For example, you can focus on learning a highly specific group of words.
Use a language learning app. We mentioned several studying solutions that involve human interaction. 4 Such platforms help you to learn individually and choose your own pace.
A.Spend some time abroad.
B.Hang out with native speakers.
C.Every student is going through the same phase.
D.However, you can also find many language learning mobile apps.
E.So let’s check out the list of some tips for learning a foreign language.
F.It can be a traditional classroom course or a modern version of online training.
G.Too many students make a mistake of trying to learn a foreign language in its entirety.

2.根据上文“Take a language course. The first tip on our list is obvious — join a course as it will guide you through the foreign language relatively quickly. (参加一门语言课程。我们清单上的第一条建议很明显——参加一门课程,因为它会相对快速地引导你学习外语)”可知,本段内容建议我们参加一门语言课程,F项意为“它可以是传统的课堂课程,也可以是现代版的在线培训。”选项能够承接上文,对课程的形式进行了介绍,选项中的“It”代指上文的“course”。故选F。

Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·四川省川南地区名校联考·期中)
Congratulations on setting the goal to eat a healthier diet! To make the job simpler and more likely to succeed, take the time to do some planning.
Evaluating Your Goals and Current Diet
Work with a registered dietitian to evaluate and set your dietary plan, based on factors like your current weight and fitness level and any medical conditions you have. 1 . After consulting with your doctor, write down a list of clear, achievable goals that you intend to meet. But your goals should be achieved step by step if you’re making a complete change. 2 .
Planning Meals with Healthy Food Choices
3 No matter what your particular dietary needs or goals are, fruits and vegetables should have main roles in your plan. Meanwhile, add lean proteins to your fruits and veggies. Processed grains, like white rice, are stripped of many of their health benefits — but not their calories! Create a weekly meal plan that’s built around healthy food choices. Meal planning helps you stay organized as you develop your new dietary routines.
4
With your meal plan as your guide, you can draw up a shopping list that has everything you need for the week ahead. 5 . Fight the temptation to buy foods (especially unhealthy ones) that aren’t on the list! For the most part, you are expected to avoid unhealthy food and look for healthy shortcuts to cut back on your meal preparation time.
A.Buying and Preparing Your Meals
B.Limiting How Often You Shop Out
C.Meal planning mainly reduces grocery expenses
D.Make fruits and vegetables the centerpieces of your diet
E.After all, different people have different dietary needs and goals
F.Focus on your list while you shop, and check off items as you pick them up
G.It will probably be difficult for you to completely change your entire diet suddenly

4.此空为小标题,根据本段内容中“With your meal plan as your guide, you can draw up a shopping list that has everything you need for the week ahead. (以你的用餐计划为指导,你可以列出一张购物清单,上面有你接下来一周所需的一切)”可知,本段主要讲的是制定购物清单,A选项“购物和准备食物”中的“Shopping”与本段内容相关,能够准确概括该段的核心内容,作为段落标题非常合适。故选A。

And milk might not actually make our bones stronger. That’s because some scientists discovered that people who drank too much milk also had some problems with their bones.
In a word, milk may not be a superfood (超级食物), but it can really give us a lot of nutrients. 5 As far as I can see, drink it if you like it, but not because you think it is the best thing for your health.
A.So should we still drink milk?
B.It’s rich in calcium and vitamins.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省成都市蓉城联盟·期中)
How often have you said, “I should exercise, ” but done nothing? Excuses are everywhere — you’re busy or you just don’t feel like it. 1 . But every small effort you make now lays the foundation for lasting progress — it’s never too late to begin.
Start small
If returning to exercise after a break, avoid pushing too hard. Begin with manageable steps. 2 . Small efforts like these beat heavy workouts — slow progress builds lasting habits. Achievable steps keep motivation, turning small wins into long-term consistency.
3
Don’t exercise just to lose weight. Think about energy boosts, better sleep, or feeling proud. Linking exercise to weight loss can make it feel like punishment. Remember how great you feel after moving — this makes exercise feel rewarding.
Building new habits
Building exercise habits that last takes time. You need to push past mental blocks, and it usually takes about two months to make them stick. 4 . This trains your brain to do them almost by itself. Habits beat motivation. 75% of fitness success comes from habits.
Track progress
Write down weekly achievements in a journal (“I walked 20 minutes!”) or use a fitness watch. 5 . Active people often have slower resting heart rates as their hearts grow stronger.
A.Focus on feeling good
B.Exercise daily to see results
C.Set realistic goals to avoid tiredness
D.Tracking heart rate can show improvements

G.Spend 10 minutes daily on a workout or walk three times weekly
【答案】1.E 2.G 3.A 4.F 5.D

1.下文“But every small effort you make now lays the foundation for lasting progress — it’s never too late to begin.(但你现在所做的每一点小努力都为持续的进步奠定了基础——什么时候开始都不晚)”,此句与前文形成转折,说明虽然开始可能有困难,但还是可以开始的。E选项“Starting is tough especially if you’re new to fitness.(开始锻炼很难,尤其是如果你刚开始接触健身)”与下文构成转折关系,指出开始锻炼存在困难,上下文语意衔接自然。故选E项。
2.小标题“Start small (从小事做起)”和上文“Begin with manageable steps.(从可管理的步骤开始)”提出要从小步骤开始锻炼,G选项“Spend 10 minutes daily on a workout or walk three times weekly.(每天花10分钟锻炼或每周散步三次)”是具体的小步骤示例,与上文提到的从小步骤开始锻炼相呼应。故选G项。
3.下文“Don’t exercise just to lose weight. Think about energy boosts, better sleep, or feeling proud.(不要仅仅为了减肥而锻炼。想想精力的提升、更好的睡眠或者自豪感)”强调锻炼不要只关注减肥,要关注锻炼带来的其他良好感受。A选项“Focus on feeling good.(关注良好的感受)”与下文内容相符,点明了该部分的主旨。故选A项。
4.上文“Building exercise habits that last takes time. You need to push past mental blocks, and it usually takes about two months to make them stick.(养成持久的锻炼习惯需要时间。你需要克服心理障碍,通常需要大约两个月的时间才能让这些习惯根深蒂固)”说明养成锻炼习惯需要时间和坚持,F选项“Repeat your workouts at the same time or use reminders.(在同一时间重复你的锻炼或者使用提醒工具)”进一步阐述了如何养成锻炼习惯,即通过重复锻炼和使用提醒工具,让大脑形成习惯。故选F项。
5.下文“Active people often have slower resting heart rates as their hearts grow stronger.(活跃的人随着心脏变得更强壮,静息心率通常会更慢)”提到了心率与锻炼的关系,D选项“Tracking heart rate can show improvements.(跟踪心率可以显示出锻炼的进步)”与下文内容相关,说明跟踪心率能体现锻炼带来的进步。故选D项。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省凉山州西昌市·期中)
Whether a movie is a rotten tomato or a brilliant work of art, if people are watching it, it’s worth critiquing (对……发表评论). 6
Start with an inviting fact or quote on the movie. 1 This sentence needs to give them a feel for your review and the movie—is it good, great, terrible, or just okay?—and keep them reading.
2 Don’t leave the reader guessing whether you like the movie or not. Using stars, a score out of 10 or 100, or the simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down is a quick way to give your thoughts.
Give a short plot summary to the film. Inform the readers of what they’ll be in for if they decide to see the movie. Give a brief plot summary in which you identify the main characters, the setting, the central conflict and point of the movie. Never break the number one rule of movie reviews: 9
Back up your opinion with specific examples. Describe the way scenes look, the way a certain person acts, camera angles, and so on. 3 In this way you are giving your readers a feel for the movie and continuing to make comments on the film at the same time.
Don’t forget to give the review a closure. Remember, people read reviews to decide whether or not they should watch a movie. End on a sentence that tells them whether it’s worth seeing.
A.Don’t give too much away!
B.State a clear opinion early on.
C.Details determine success or failure!
D.Read on to learn how to analyze a review.
E.Here’s some know-how for a film review.
F.You want to get the reader hooked immediately.
G.You can quote dialogue to help make your points as well.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.B 4.A 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章要聚焦影评写作技巧的系统传授,通过模块化步骤拆解影评创作的核心要素,旨在为影评写作初学者提供可复用的方法论框架。
1.根据上文“Whether a movie is a rotten tomato or a brilliant work of art, if people are watching it, it’s worth critiquing (对…发表评论).(无论一部电影是烂片还是一部杰出的艺术作品,只要有人在看,就值得对其发表评论。)”可知,上文提到每部电影都值得对其发表评论。而下文则指出了一些进行影评的技巧。选项E“Here’s some know-how for a film review.(以下是一些电影评论的技巧。)”承上启下,自然引出下文对电影评论方法的具体介绍。故选E。
2.根据下文“This sentence needs to give them a feel for your review and the movie—is it good, great, terrible, or just okay?—and keep them reading.(这句话需要让他们对你的评论以及这部电影有一个初步的感受——它是好、很棒、很糟糕,还是一般般——并且让他们继续读下去。)”可知,下文指出开头的这句话能让读者愿意读下去。选项F“You want to get the reader hooked immediately.(你希望能立刻吸引读者。)”与下文内容相符,指出写影评的人希望自己的开头能吸引读者继续读下去。故选F。
3.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据本段内容“Don’t leave the reader guessing whether you like the movie or not. Using stars, a score out of 10 or 100, or the simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down is a quick way to give your thoughts.(不要让读者猜测你是否喜欢这部电影。使用星级评分、十分制或百分制评分,或者简单的点赞和差评,都是快速表达你想法的方式。)”可知,该段提到不要让读者猜测你是否喜欢这部电影,要快速给出自己的想法。选项B“State a clear opinion early on.(尽早表明一个明确的观点。)”能概括该段主旨。故选B。
4.根据上文“Give a brief plot summary in which you identify the main characters, the setting, the central conflict and point of the movie. Never break the number one rule of movie reviews(做一个简短的剧情概述,在其中你要指出主要角色、故事背景、核心冲突以及电影的重点。永远不要打破电影评论的首要规则:)”可知,上文提到给电影做简短的情节总结,同时不能打破电影评论的首要规则。选项A“Don’t give too much away!(不要透露太多情节!)”符合上文内容,即做简短的情节总结,从而得出,影评的首要规则是不要透露太多情节。故选A。
5.根据段首句“Back up your opinion with specific examples.(用具体的例子来支持你的观点)”可知,本段主题是用具体的例子来支持自己的观点。选项G“You can quote dialogue to help make your points as well.(你也可以引用对白来帮助阐述你的观点。)”与本段主题相符,指出可以用电影中的对白来阐述自己的观点,引出下文“In this way you are giving your readers a feel for the movie and continuing to make comments on the film at the same time.(通过这种方式,你既能让读者对这部电影有所感受,同时也能继续对该电影发表评论。)”,指出这样的方式能让读者对这部电影有所感受,同时也能继续对该电影发表评论。故选G。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·四川省·期中)
In a world that often highlights financial contributions to make a difference, it’s important to remember that some of the most meaningful acts of kindness also matter. Here are simple ways to make a difference without spending any money.
Lend a helping hand. 1 You can spare any time and effort to help others. For example, you can offer to help a neighbor with yard work, assist an elderly person with groceries, or babysit for a friend who needs a break. Small acts of service go a long way in showing kindness.
2 Support local businesses, restaurants, or services by leaving thoughtful and genuine comments online. It’s best to choose some positive and encouraging words. Your words can brighten a small business owner’s day and help others discover great services in your community.
Donate items you no longer need. When you look around your house, you’ll find many things that you no longer need. You can donate these gently-used clothes, books, or household items to local shelters or community organizations. 13
Praise others for what they’ve done. If you’ve met many cases, you know that words are free but powerful. 3 A kind word about someone’s effort, appearance, or personality can boost their confidence and brighten their day. It can also keep them encouraged and motivated to go on.
Share your skills with others. As someone said it, sharing can light up both you and others in our daily life. 4 You can achieve that by playing an instrument, cooking, or coding. Sharing your talents can empower others and create meaningful connections.
A.Try to practice gratitude publicly.
B.Remember to write positive comments.
C.Exchange items like clothes, books or toys.
D.Offer free lessons in something you’re good at.
E.What you’ve donated means the world to someone in need.
F.Sometimes, the best gift you can give is your time and effort.
G.Take time to think highly of a friend, family member, or even a stranger.
【答案】1.F 2.B 3.E 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍无需金钱即可践行善举、影响他人的几种简单方式。
1.根据上文“Lend a helping hand.(伸出援助之手。)”及下文“You can spare any time and effort to help others.(你可以抽出时间和精力帮助他人。)”可知,本段强调“付出时间和精力”的重要性。F选项“Sometimes, the best gift you can give is your time and effort.(有时,你能给出的最好礼物是你的时间和精力。)”中的“time and effort”直接对应下文“spare any time and effort”,点明“帮助他人”的核心在于奉献时间,而非金钱,衔接自然。故选F项。
2.根据下文“Support local businesses, restaurants, or services by leaving thoughtful and genuine comments online. It’s best to choose some positive and encouraging words. (通过在网上留下深思熟虑且真诚的评论,来支持本地企业、餐馆或服务。最好选择一些积极和鼓励的话语。)”可知,本段核心是“在线留下积极评论”。B选项“Remember to write positive comments.(记得写下积极的评论。)”中的“positive comments”与“positive and encouraging words”完全呼应,作为段落主题句概括了核心行为。故选B项。
3.根据上文“You can donate these gently-used clothes, books, or household items to local shelters or community organizations.(你可以将这些用过的衣物、书籍或家居用品捐赠给当地的收容所或社区组织。)”可知,此处讨论“捐赠物品”的行为,空格处需说明捐赠的意义。E选项“What you’ve donated means the world to someone in need.(你所捐赠的物品对有需要的人来说意义重大。)”中的“What you’ve donated”指代上文“clothes, books, or household items”,且与本段的主题句“Donate items you no longer need.(捐赠一些你不再需要的东西。)”一致。故选E项。
4.根据段落主题句“Praise others for what they’ve done.(赞扬他人所做的事。)”及下文“A kind word about someone’s effort, appearance, or personality can boost their confidence and brighten their day.(一句关于某人努力、外表或个性的善意话语可以增强他们的信心,点亮他们的一天。)”可知,空格处需具体说明“赞扬的对象和方式”。G选项“Take time to think highly of a friend, family member, or even a stranger.(花时间赞美朋友、家人,甚至陌生人。)”中的“think highly of”对应“praise”,“friend, family member, or even a stranger”扩展了赞扬的对象范围,与下文“someone”形成呼应,符合段落逻辑。故选G项。
5.根据段落主题句“Share your skills with others.(与他人分享你的技能。)”及下文“You can achieve that by playing an instrument, cooking, or coding.(你可以通过演奏乐器、烹饪或编程来实现这一点。)”可知,“that”指代“分享技能”,空格处需具体说明分享技能的方式。D选项“Offer free lessons in something you’re good at.(在你擅长的领域提供免费课程。)”中的“Offer free lessons”是“share skills”的具体体现,“something you’re good at”对应“playing an instrument, cooking, or coding”,直接呼应主题句并举例说明。故选D项。
Passage 4
(24-25学年高一下·四川省广元市广元市直属学校·期中)
Most self-motivation definitions consider how you can find the ability to do what needs to be done without influence from other people or situations. Self-motivation is encouraging yourself to continue making progress toward a goal even when it feels challenging. It’s turning your shoulds into musts. How can you motivate (激励) yourself to achieve your goals? 16
Take responsibility for your life. Self-motivation is often difficult because it comes from you. If you don’t take care of the underlying issues that keep you from making progress, you can fall back on blaming (归咎于) others for your failure. In some cases, you can rely on external factors and friends for motivation. 1 In other words, you’re the one who must take charge of your own life.
2 You need a powerful purpose to motivate you. Why do you want to build a business? It likely goes back to the ability to do what you want, when you want and with whom you want - the true definition of success. Connect your goals back to your purpose and you’ll never lack self-motivation.
Reevaluate your goals. At any moment, the decision you make can change the course of your life forever. If you focus on your vision and purpose, but you’re still not feeling inspired, you may need to make a decision to go in a new direction. 19
Create powerful beliefs. 3 If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to one reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person. Change your negative beliefs into positive ones by conditioning your mind. Catch yourself when you think negatively about yourself and change that self-talk so that it motivates you instead of holding you back.
A.Find your why.
B.Create a great action plan.
C.Here are some tips that might help you.
D.You need to have a clear purpose to get enough self-motivation.
E.The only limitations in our lives are the ones we put on ourselves.
F.But at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to put in the work.
G.That is to say, if your why isn’t motivating you, then you may need a new why.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省成都市玉林中学·期中)
Sports day! These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere. 1 And it’s also the chance to bag a prize or two. For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.
Today, more and more schools have recognized the importance of exercise. Many of them have non-competitive” sports days. They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are. 2
However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win. 2 Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!
3 According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer “traditional” competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing. It’s also an opportunity for some children to show off their physical and sporting skills.
People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days 4 We want to know your ideas.
A.What’s the point if no one wins?
B.Should sport just be about winning?
C.For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.
D.So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not?
E.Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.
F.There are lots of people who agree with the idea—parents in particular!
G.Many parents are worried that their kids can get injured when doing sports.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.A 4.F 5.D
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了人们对运动会是否要有输赢的不同观点。
1.根据前文“These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere.(这两个字可以在各地的学生心中激起喜悦和恐惧)”可知,本段会分别说喜欢运动和恐惧运动的人,再根据后文“For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.(对其他人来说,这可能就像不得不参加他们不擅长的事情一样)”可知,后文讲过恐惧运动的人,所以空处应是喜欢运动的人,所以C项“For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.(对许多人来说,运动会是很有趣的一天)”符合文意。故选C项。
2.由上文“They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are.(他们希望通过减少运动日的竞争性,激发所有能力的孩子参加运动,而不必担心失败。运动和健身对每个人来说都很重要,无论你在运动方面有多擅长)”可知,上文讲非竞争性运动让所有孩子不必担心失败,尽情地运动,这是它的益处,E选项“Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.(每个人都应该为自己的努力和发挥作用而庆祝)”承接上文讲非竞争性运动给孩子带来的益处。故选E项。
3.由上文“However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win.(然而,一些人认为运动有赢家很重要,学会输和学会如何赢一样重要)”和下文“Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!.(尤其是在运动日,这是你真正证明自己的机会! )”可知,上下文讲赢的重要性,A选项“What’s the point if no one wins?(如果没有人赢,那有什么意义?)”体现了对赢得看重。故选A项。
4.分析设空可知,空处位于段首,起到引领全段的作用,是对本段的高度概括,所以根据后文“According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer “traditional” competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing.(据家庭在线2017年的一项调查,82%的父母表示他们更喜欢“传统的”竞技体育日。许多成年人认为孩子可以从输赢中学到宝贵的经验)”可知,本段是在讲大部分人都同意上文提到的观点,特别是父母,所以F项“There are lots of people who agree with the idea—parents in particular!(有很多人同意这个想法,尤其是父母!)”符合文意。故选F项。
5.根据后文“We want to know your ideas.(我们想知道你的想法)”可推断,空处应是提了一个问题,此处才会说想知道你的想法,再根据前文“People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days.(当谈到学校运动会时,到底是获胜还是参与才是重要的,人们有不同的看法)”可知,本段主要是在讨论学校运动会,所以应该是针对学校运动会提问。所以D项“So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not?(那么,学校运动会是否应该是竞争性的呢?)”符合文意。故选D项。

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 1 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago?
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 2 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
3 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 14
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 4 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A.They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B.here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C.Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E.How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F.Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G.However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.
【答案】1.E 2.A 3.F 4.C 5.G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍一些帮助孩子对运动感兴趣的方法。
1.根据上文“Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. (活跃和运动对我们所有人都非常重要,对儿童来说尤为重要。)”可知,这里强调活跃和运动对儿童来说尤为重要。选项E“孩子的活跃程度将影响他们的整体健康和学习。”和上文意思一致。故选E。
2.根据上文“It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport.(当你为人父母时,以身作则是个好主意。这在很多方面都是正确的,但尤其是在忘记孩子们参与体育运动这方面。)”可知,作为家长要为孩子树立榜样,结合上文提到体育运动,可知选项A“如果你不感兴趣,他们就不会对体育感兴趣。”和上文意思一致。故选A。
3.根据下文“Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. (尽管他们可以选择他们想要支持的人,但看到你对某个特定球员或球队的热情可能正是他们开始旅程所需要的。)”可知,这里建议家长跟孩子分享喜欢的球员或球队。选项F“除了以身作则,你还可以与他们分享你喜欢的球队。”和下文意思一致。故选F。
4.根据上文“You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. (例如,你可以找一家队服商店给他们买一件印有他们名字的运动衫,也可以看球队参加他们的一场比赛。)”可知,这里举例说明家长在球队的热情。选项C“分享你的热情,这将有助于点燃激情。”和上文意思一致。故选C。
5.根据上文“If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省泸州市泸县·期中)
How to Take to Become a Morning Person
As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health. 1 Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.
●Seek out as much natural light as possible. The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. 2 When you wake up, pop outside for a walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Besides, the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment isn’t recommended. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.
● 3 There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising. You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired in the first few days but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. You can shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.
●Go to bed early in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same rising time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night. 4 Cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, because being exposed to artificial light in the late evening holds back your body’s ability to generate melatonin (褪黑素), which can interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.
●Plan something to look forward to. To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m... 25
A.Ease in gradually.
B.Be consistent with your schedule.
C.You’re not fearing it if you think of these.
D.The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
E.Enough sleep will enhance your immune function.
F.However, it really needs dramatic courage to pull yourself out of the warm bed.
G.Thus, you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.A 4.G 5.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了几个帮助早起的建议。
1.上文“As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health.(众所周知,早睡早起有益于健康)”提到早睡早起有利于健康,结合下文“Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.(这里有一些建议可以帮助你成为一个早起的人)”可知,空处应是说早起对人们来说不容易,由此引出下文的一些关于早起的建议,F项“然而,把自己从温暖的被窝里拽出来真的需要巨大的勇气”符合语境,故选F。
2.上文“The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light.(成为一个早起的人的秘密是暴露在明亮的阳光下)”提到,早起秘诀是将自己暴露在明亮的光线下,分析选项,D项“太阳是我们生物钟的驱动者”解释上文的原因,太阳是我们生物钟的驱动者,所以暴露在阳光下能让人早起,故选D。
3.空处是段落主题句,根据本段内容及最后一句“Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.(一步一步来,你更容易忍受)”可知,本段是介绍循序渐进培养早起习惯的两个方法,A项“逐渐适应”符合语境,故选A。
4.根据本段主题句“Go to bed early in the evenings.(晚上早睡)”及空前“Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night.(大多数人应该保证每晚至少7小时睡眠)”可知,因为大多数人要保证每晚至少睡7小时,所以想要早起,还应该早睡,G项“因此,当你过渡到一个新的时间表时,你可能需要把你的就寝时间提前一点”符合语境,与上文形成因果关系,且呼应本段的主题,故选G。
5.上文“To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m…(为了激励你从床上爬起来,你应该给自己一些特别的东西,你可以在起床的那一刻享受。例如,当你的闹钟在早上5点响起时,你不会错过你最喜欢的咖啡或糕点)”提到,可以计划一些值得期待的事情来激励自己早起,如最喜欢的咖啡或糕点,这样早起就没有那么难了,故C项“想想这些,你就不会害怕早起了”符合语境,C项中的“these”指代上文的“your favorite coffee or pastries”,故选C。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省天立集团·期中)
If you have a hard time getting along with your teachers, going to class can be a nightmare (噩梦). So here are some tips to help you build a friendly relationship with almost all the teachers.
Talk to your teachers. In many cases, a short discussion can clear up the entire conflict (冲突). Ask your teachers if it is convenient for you to talk in private. Always be polite and show respect in a conversation. 26
Ask your teachers how you can do well in class. 1 So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.
2 Sometimes, you may not like some teachers because of their ways of teaching. If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to adapt to a new teaching method.
Ask about your teachers’ hobbies. If you know about one of their hobbies, you can talk about it with them. 3 A shared interest may help you see your teachers from a different viewpoint.
Learn why your teachers choose to teach. Approach the teachers at an appropriate time before or after class, not during class. Consider saying something like “I’ve always wondered why people become teachers. It seems to be difficult. Why did you decide to teach?” 30
A.And you can try to find if you have something in common.
B.Learn to understand their teaching methods.
C.Join in activities with your teachers after school.
D.Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach.
E.A way to discover the positive side of things is to keep diaries.
F.If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be resolved.
G.This simple question can show your interest in their jobs.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些帮助与老师建立友好关系的方法,如与老师交谈、询问如何学好、了解教学方法、询问爱好以及了解老师选择教书的原因等。
1.根据上文“Always be polite and show respect in a conversation.(在谈话中始终要有礼貌并表示尊重。)”可知,此处强调与老师交流时的态度,由此可知,空格处应继续讲述与老师交谈时应注意的态度或行为,F选项“If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be resolved.(如果你在他们面前表现出生气或不高兴,冲突不太可能得到解决。)”从反面说明了不礼貌的态度会带来的后果,与上文形成对比,符合语境。故选F项。

3.根据下文“Sometimes, you may not like some teachers because of their ways of teaching. If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to adapt to a new teaching method.(有时,你可能因为老师的教学方法而不喜欢他们。如果你习惯了非常轻松的课堂,那么在严格的环境中学习取得成功是很困难的,反之亦然。在大多数情况下,给自己一些时间来适应新的教学方法是有必要的。)”可知,此处讲述要理解老师的教学方法,由此可知,空格处需要引入关于理解老师教学方法的主题,B选项“Learn to understand their teaching methods.(学会理解他们的教学方法。)”为祈使句,概括了全文的主题,起到了总领下文的作用。故选B项。

Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. 1 .
Choose a language
This is a personal decision. 2 If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. Maybe you live in an area with many Spanish speakers and believe being bilingual (双语的) will increase your job opportunities.
3
This is important because you need to know which words to use to express yourself and understand what you hear and see. According to the International Center for Language Studies, knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker.
Accept mistakes
Mistakes are a common part of the process when learning a language. You may choose the wrong word, change vowel sounds, or use the present tense form of a verb when talking about something that happened last week. When you make a mistake, pay attention to the advice you get. 4 .
Set aside time to practice
5 . According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages like Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish. You’ll spend around 900 class hours learning German, Haitian Creole, and Swahili. Sometimes you need to learn languages with fewer features in common with English. Then you’d better put in at least 1,100 class hours.
A.Build your vocabulary
B.Keep trying before setting a goal
C.Focus on the 100 most commonly used words
D.Try out these steps for how to learn a new language
E.Learning a new language takes time and needs regular practice

G.For example, the person you’re talking to may correct your grammar or vocabulary choice
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.A 4.G 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍学习新语言的步骤,包括选语言、建词汇、接受错误和定期练习等。
1.根据上文“Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. (学习一门新语言不仅仅是一项技能。它给你一个了解其他文化的机会。)”以及下文小标题“Choose a language(选择一门语言)”等具体学习步骤可知,此空应引出学习新语言的步骤。D选项“Try out these steps for how to learn a new language(尝试以下学习新语言的步骤)”中的“these steps”指代下文的具体学习步骤,符合语境。故选D项。
2.根据上文“This is a personal decision. (这是个人决定。)”以及下文“If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. (如果你喜欢研究日本历史和文化,或许会想把日语列入学习清单。也许你正计划去巴西度假,于是决定在旅行前学习葡萄牙语。)”可知,此空应说明个人兴趣、需求和目标对选择语言的影响。F选项“Your interests, needs, and goals can help you narrow your choices(你的兴趣、需求和目标能帮助你缩小选择范围)”中的“interests, needs, and goals”对应下文的喜欢研究日本历史文化、计划去巴西度假等内容,符合语境。故选F项。
3.分析语篇可知,此处应为本段的小标题。根据空后的“This is important because you need to know which words to use to express yourself and understand what you hear and see. According to the International Center for Language Studies, knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker.

4.根据空前的“When you make a mistake, pay attention to the advice you get.

5.根据本段小标题“Set aside time to practice(留出时间练习)”以及下文“According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages like Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish. (根据美国国务院外交学院的说法,以英语为母语的人通常需要600到750课时来学习荷兰语、法语、意大利语和西班牙语等语言。)”可知,此空应强调学习新语言需要时间和定期练习。E选项“Learning a new language takes time and needs regular practice(学习一门新语言需要时间,并且需要定期练习)”中的“takes time and needs regular practice”对应下文不同语言学习所需的课时数,符合语境。故选E项。

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省宜宾市三江新区·期中)
Self-love and healthy relationships cannot be separated. Self-love is the core (核心) of any healthy relationship. 1 Basically, it is to truly accept who you are and what your worth is. Now you might wonder how self-love builds healthy relationships.
First, when you know your worth, you know what you are willing to accept in a relationship and what not. 2 You will have a clear understanding of what you need, what your values are, and your limits.
3 A person who truly loves themselves has a better understanding of life and is more likely to communicate well during arguments (争论). They know how important it is to share their thoughts and feelings clearly and with respect, which helps them deal with disagreements in a healthier way.
What’s more, self-love contributes to choosing an emotionally healthy partner. When you feel good about yourself, you’re less likely to get into harmful relationships. At the same time, taking care of your own emotions makes you emotionally balanced, which helps you understand and connect with your partner better. 24
So now you know that self-love and healthy relationships are practically inseparable. 4 They depend on each other for your happiness because self-love will encourage you to have better limits, a healthier understanding of yourself, and better emotional intelligence(情商).

B.Self-love is not selfish.
C.You will know where to set limits.

Hiking is a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise. Here are a few simple tips to make sure your next hiking trip is both safe and enjoyable.
Hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. 1 If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.
Have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration (脱水). Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. 2 So make sure to drink your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.
Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches. 3
4 If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. 5
A.Don’t take a too long trip at a time.
B.Make sure that your body is prepared.
C.You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.
D.If you get injured, your friend will be able to go and get help.
E.But clothing that is too tight might become uncomfortable as you walk.
F.If you are going on a long hike, you might want to bring an extra pair of socks just in case.
G.With enough practice, you will be able to take longer hikes across more challenging landscapes.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.E 4.B 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了安全和愉快的徒步旅行的一些建议。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省成都市金牛区成都七中万达集团学校联考·期中)
Music is used across cultures and ages as a powerful mood regulator. 1 The emotional power of music is one of the main reasons why people devote so much time, energy, and money to it. People use music to achieve various goals, such as feeling more energized, keeping focused on tasks, and reducing boredom.
Music offers a resource for emotion regulation. For instance, sad music enables listeners to stay away from painful situations. 2 Further, lyrics that have a connection with the listener’s personal experience can give voice to feelings or experiences that one might not be able to express oneself. Listening to soft and slow music, such as classical music, is better for managing negative emotions compared to hard or heavy music.
3 Music is a powerful emotional stimulus(刺激物) that changes our relationship with time. Time does indeed seem to fly when listening to pleasant music. Hearing pleasant music seems to keep attention away from time processing. Moreover, this attention-related shortening effect appears to be greater in the case of calm music with a slow tempo (节奏). For example, music is used in waiting rooms to reduce the subjective length of time spent waiting or in supermarkets to encourage people to stay for longer and buy more. 4
In sum, music can change our moods, emotions, and motivation. We can use music to express or challenge our moods. 5 For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians’ (伊朗人的) painful complaints.
A.Music can also show the mood on a national level.
B.We regularly use music to comfort our souls and pain.
C.Music are likely to affect a nation’s policies or decisions.
D.This is because they focus instead on the beauty of the music.
E.When listening to music, We are amazed at how quickly time passes by.
F.Music shows that one’s understanding of the passage of time is subjective.
G.Consumers spend more time in the grocery store when the background music is slow.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.F 4.G 5.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了音乐在不同文化和年龄段中被用作一种强大的情绪调节器,通过音乐可以表达或挑战我们的情绪,还可以在国家层面上表达情绪。
1.根据上文“Music is used across cultures and ages as a powerful mood regulator.(音乐在不同文化和不同年龄段中都被用作一种强大的情绪调节器。)”可知,音乐可以用于调节情绪。B选项中“comfort our souls and pain”对应上文中“a powerful mood regulator”。故B选项“我们经常用音乐来安慰我们的灵魂和痛苦”符合语境。故选B。
2.根据上文“For instance, sad music enables listeners to stay away from painful situations.(例如,悲伤的音乐使听众远离痛苦的情况。)”以及下文“Further, lyrics that have a connection with the listener’s personal experience can give voice to feelings or experiences that one might not be able to express oneself.(此外,与听众个人经历有关的歌词可以表达出一个人可能无法表达自己的感受或经历。)”可知,上文提到悲伤的音乐可以使人远离痛苦,后文则提到歌词与听众经历的联系,由此可知,空处承接上文,说明悲伤的音乐使人远离痛苦的原因。故D选项“这是因为他们反而专注于音乐之美”符合语境。故选D。
3.根据下文“Music is a powerful emotional stimulus(刺激物) that changes our relationship with time. Time does indeed seem to fly when listening to pleasant music.(音乐是一种强大的情感刺激物,它改变了我们与时间的关系。听悦耳的音乐时,时间似乎确实过得飞快。)”可知,本段主要讲述了音乐表明一个人对时间流逝的理解是主观的。故F选项“音乐表明一个人对时间流逝的理解是主观的”符合语境,故选F。
4.根据上文“For example, music is used in waiting rooms to reduce the subjective length of time spent waiting or in supermarkets to encourage people to stay for longer and buy more.(例如,音乐被用于候诊室以减少等待时间的主观长度,或被用于超市以鼓励人们停留更长时间并购买更多商品。)”可知,上文举例说明了音乐被用于超市以鼓励人们停留更长时间并购买更多商品,G选项中“spend more time”对应上文中“stay for longer”。故G选项“当背景音乐缓慢时,消费者在杂货店花费的时间更多”符合语境,引起下文。故选G。
5.根据下文“For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians (伊朗人的) painful complaints.(例如,抗议歌曲《Baraye》表达了伊朗人痛苦的抱怨。)”可知,下文举例说明了抗议歌曲《Baraye》表达了伊朗人痛苦的抱怨,可见音乐可以表达一个国家人民的心情,即音乐也可以在国家层面上表达情绪。故A选项“音乐也可以在国家层面上表达情绪'”符合语境,故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省遂宁高级实验学校·期中)
Many people find it hard to get excited about learning new vocabulary because they believe it is only about rote memorization (死记硬背). 1 Whether you’re learning a new language or improving your current (现在的) one, there are a variety of tools you can use to help you really learn, not just memorize, new words.
Integrate (融入) the new words into your environment. Hang large blank pieces of paper in places you frequent, like the bathroom or kitchen. 2 That way you’ll find yourself frequently noticing them as you go about your day. You can also draw a small picture showing the meaning of the word beside it.
Make the new words part of your life. 3 For example, if you want to learn to use the word “azure”, a bright blue color, write it into several sentences that relate to your current situation: “My new cup is a beautiful azure color.”
4 The more fun you can make your vocabulary learning time, the more likely you are to do it and learn from it. There are a number of free vocabulary-learning games online. Make the most of these resources, and you will make unexpected progress.
Revise the words. Not everyone has a great memory (记忆力). 5 After revising them a couple of times, make sure you are confident with their use.
A.Turn learning into a game.
B.Luckily, that’s far from the case.
C.Choose a book that you would like to read.
D.You can write new words into sentences related to your own life.
E.So even if you’ve got those words remembered, you still need a review.
F.Add new words and their meanings to the hanging paper as you see them.
G.You want to have somewhere to look up the meaning of the word when you need to.

Learning a foreign language can feel like climbing Mount Everest — there’s so much work to be done, and no shortcuts to take. However, as it turns out, there are many ways to make language learning simpler and more pleasing. 6
Take a language course. The first tip on our list is obvious — join a course as it will guide you through the foreign language relatively quickly. 1 But in each case, it is important to ask around and choose a program that focuses on conversation.
2 This must be everyone’s favorite language learning tip. There’s no better way to learn a foreign language than to visit a given country and talk with the locals.
Learn the right words. 3 This is, of course, nearly impossible and you should try a different approach. For example, you can focus on learning a highly specific group of words.
Use a language learning app. We mentioned several studying solutions that involve human interaction. 4 Such platforms help you to learn individually and choose your own pace.
A.Spend some time abroad.
B.Hang out with native speakers.
C.Every student is going through the same phase.
D.However, you can also find many language learning mobile apps.
E.So let’s check out the list of some tips for learning a foreign language.
F.It can be a traditional classroom course or a modern version of online training.
G.Too many students make a mistake of trying to learn a foreign language in its entirety.

Congratulations on setting the goal to eat a healthier diet! To make the job simpler and more likely to succeed, take the time to do some planning.
Evaluating Your Goals and Current Diet
Work with a registered dietitian to evaluate and set your dietary plan, based on factors like your current weight and fitness level and any medical conditions you have. 1 . After consulting with your doctor, write down a list of clear, achievable goals that you intend to meet. But your goals should be achieved step by step if you’re making a complete change. 2 .
Planning Meals with Healthy Food Choices
3 No matter what your particular dietary needs or goals are, fruits and vegetables should have main roles in your plan. Meanwhile, add lean proteins to your fruits and veggies. Processed grains, like white rice, are stripped of many of their health benefits — but not their calories! Create a weekly meal plan that’s built around healthy food choices. Meal planning helps you stay organized as you develop your new dietary routines.
4
With your meal plan as your guide, you can draw up a shopping list that has everything you need for the week ahead. 5 . Fight the temptation to buy foods (especially unhealthy ones) that aren’t on the list! For the most part, you are expected to avoid unhealthy food and look for healthy shortcuts to cut back on your meal preparation time.
A.Buying and Preparing Your Meals
B.Limiting How Often You Shop Out
C.Meal planning mainly reduces grocery expenses
D.Make fruits and vegetables the centerpieces of your diet
E.After all, different people have different dietary needs and goals
F.Focus on your list while you shop, and check off items as you pick them up

And milk might not actually make our bones stronger. That’s because some scientists discovered that people who drank too much milk also had some problems with their bones.
In a word, milk may not be a superfood (超级食物), but it can really give us a lot of nutrients. 5 As far as I can see, drink it if you like it, but not because you think it is the best thing for your health.
A.So should we still drink milk?
B.It’s rich in calcium and vitamins.
C.We all agree that milk is good for our body.
D.They want to know how milk makes us healthy.
E.Maybe your mother wants you to drink milk every day.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省凉山州西昌市·期中)
Whether a movie is a rotten tomato or a brilliant work of art, if people are watching it, it’s worth critiquing (对……发表评论). 6
Start with an inviting fact or quote on the movie. 1 This sentence needs to give them a feel for your review and the movie—is it good, great, terrible, or just okay?—and keep them reading.
2 Don’t leave the reader guessing whether you like the movie or not. Using stars, a score out of 10 or 100, or the simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down is a quick way to give your thoughts.
Give a short plot summary to the film. Inform the readers of what they’ll be in for if they decide to see the movie. Give a brief plot summary in which you identify the main characters, the setting, the central conflict and point of the movie. Never break the number one rule of movie reviews: 9
Back up your opinion with specific examples. Describe the way scenes look, the way a certain person acts, camera angles, and so on. 3 In this way you are giving your readers a feel for the movie and continuing to make comments on the film at the same time.

(24-25学年高一下·四川省·期中)
In a world that often highlights financial contributions to make a difference, it’s important to remember that some of the most meaningful acts of kindness also matter. Here are simple ways to make a difference without spending any money.
Lend a helping hand. 1 You can spare any time and effort to help others. For example, you can offer to help a neighbor with yard work, assist an elderly person with groceries, or babysit for a friend who needs a break. Small acts of service go a long way in showing kindness.
2 Support local businesses, restaurants, or services by leaving thoughtful and genuine comments online. It’s best to choose some positive and encouraging words. Your words can brighten a small business owner’s day and help others discover great services in your community.
Donate items you no longer need. When you look around your house, you’ll find many things that you no longer need. You can donate these gently-used clothes, books, or household items to local shelters or community organizations. 13
Praise others for what they’ve done. If you’ve met many cases, you know that words are free but powerful. 3 A kind word about someone’s effort, appearance, or personality can boost their confidence and brighten their day. It can also keep them encouraged and motivated to go on.
Share your skills with others. As someone said it, sharing can light up both you and others in our daily life. 4 You can achieve that by playing an instrument, cooking, or coding. Sharing your talents can empower others and create meaningful connections.
A.Try to practice gratitude publicly.
B.Remember to write positive comments.
C.Exchange items like clothes, books or toys.
D.Offer free lessons in something you’re good at.
E.What you’ve donated means the world to someone in need.
F.Sometimes, the best gift you can give is your time and effort.
G.Take time to think highly of a friend, family member, or even a stranger.
Passage 4
(24-25学年高一下·四川省广元市广元市直属学校·期中)
Most self-motivation definitions consider how you can find the ability to do what needs to be done without influence from other people or situations. Self-motivation is encouraging yourself to continue making progress toward a goal even when it feels challenging. It’s turning your shoulds into musts. How can you motivate (激励) yourself to achieve your goals? 16
Take responsibility for your life. Self-motivation is often difficult because it comes from you. If you don’t take care of the underlying issues that keep you from making progress, you can fall back on blaming (归咎于) others for your failure. In some cases, you can rely on external factors and friends for motivation. 1 In other words, you’re the one who must take charge of your own life.
2 You need a powerful purpose to motivate you. Why do you want to build a business? It likely goes back to the ability to do what you want, when you want and with whom you want - the true definition of success. Connect your goals back to your purpose and you’ll never lack self-motivation.
Reevaluate your goals. At any moment, the decision you make can change the course of your life forever. If you focus on your vision and purpose, but you’re still not feeling inspired, you may need to make a decision to go in a new direction. 19
Create powerful beliefs. 3 If you don’t have enough self-motivation, it comes down to one reason: you don’t see yourself as a self-motivated person. Change your negative beliefs into positive ones by conditioning your mind. Catch yourself when you think negatively about yourself and change that self-talk so that it motivates you instead of holding you back.
A.Find your why.
B.Create a great action plan.
C.Here are some tips that might help you.
D.You need to have a clear purpose to get enough self-motivation.
E.The only limitations in our lives are the ones we put on ourselves.
F.But at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to put in the work.
G.That is to say, if your why isn’t motivating you, then you may need a new why.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省成都市玉林中学·期中)
Sports day! These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere. 1 And it’s also the chance to bag a prize or two. For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.
Today, more and more schools have recognized the importance of exercise. Many of them have non-competitive” sports days. They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport you are. 2
However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win. 2 Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!
3 According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer “traditional” competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing. It’s also an opportunity for some children to show off their physical and sporting skills.
People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days 4 We want to know your ideas.
A.What’s the point if no one wins?
B.Should sport just be about winning?
C.For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 1 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago?
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 2 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
3 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 14
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 4 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A.They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B.here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C.Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D.So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E.How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F.Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G.However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·四川省泸州市泸县·期中)
How to Take to Become a Morning Person
As we all know, early to bed and early to rise is beneficial to health. 1 Here are some tips for you to take to become a morning person.
●Seek out as much natural light as possible. The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. 2 When you wake up, pop outside for a walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Besides, the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment isn’t recommended. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.
● 3 There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising. You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired in the first few days but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. You can shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour. Step by step it’s easier for you to tolerate.
●Go to bed early in the evenings. A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same rising time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night. 4 Cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, because being exposed to artificial light in the late evening holds back your body’s ability to generate melatonin (褪黑素), which can interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.
●Plan something to look forward to. To motivate you out of bed, you should treat yourself to something special you can enjoy the moment you get up. For example, you won’t miss your favorite coffee or pastries when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m... 25
A.Ease in gradually.
B.Be consistent with your schedule.
C.You’re not fearing it if you think of these.
D.The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
E.Enough sleep will enhance your immune function.
F.However, it really needs dramatic courage to pull yourself out of the warm bed.
G.Thus, you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·四川省天立集团·期中)
If you have a hard time getting along with your teachers, going to class can be a nightmare (噩梦). So here are some tips to help you build a friendly relationship with almost all the teachers.
Talk to your teachers. In many cases, a short discussion can clear up the entire conflict (冲突). Ask your teachers if it is convenient for you to talk in private. Always be polite and show respect in a conversation. 26
Ask your teachers how you can do well in class. 1 So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.
2 Sometimes, you may not like some teachers because of their ways of teaching. If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to adapt to a new teaching method.
Ask about your teachers’ hobbies. If you know about one of their hobbies, you can talk about it with them. 3 A shared interest may help you see your teachers from a different viewpoint.
Learn why your teachers choose to teach. Approach the teachers at an appropriate time before or after class, not during class. Consider saying something like “I’ve always wondered why people become teachers. It seems to be difficult. Why did you decide to teach?” 30
A.And you can try to find if you have something in common.
B.Learn to understand their teaching methods.
C.Join in activities with your teachers after school.
D.Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach.
E.A way to discover the positive side of things is to keep diaries.
F.If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be resolved.
G.This simple question can show your interest in their jobs.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·四川省遂宁市安居区·期中)
Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. 1 .
Choose a language
This is a personal decision. 2 If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. Maybe you live in an area with many Spanish speakers and believe being bilingual (双语的) will increase your job opportunities.
3
This is important because you need to know which words to use to express yourself and understand what you hear and see. According to the International Center for Language Studies, knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker.
Accept mistakes
Mistakes are a common part of the process when learning a language. You may choose the wrong word, change vowel sounds, or use the present tense form of a verb when talking about something that happened last week. When you make a mistake, pay attention to the advice you get. 4 .
Set aside time to practice
5 . According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages like Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish. You’ll spend around 900 class hours learning German, Haitian Creole, and Swahili. Sometimes you need to learn languages with fewer features in common with English. Then you’d better put in at least 1,100 class hours.
A.Build your vocabulary
B.Keep trying before setting a goal
C.Focus on the 100 most commonly used words
D.Try out these steps for how to learn a new language
E.Learning a new language takes time and needs regular practice
F.Your interests, needs, and goals can help you narrow your choices
G.For example, the person you’re talking to may correct your grammar or vocabulary choice

Music is used across cultures and ages as a powerful mood regulator. 1 The emotional power of music is one of the main reasons why people devote so much time, energy, and money to it. People use music to achieve various goals, such as feeling more energized, keeping focused on tasks, and reducing boredom.
Music offers a resource for emotion regulation. For instance, sad music enables listeners to stay away from painful situations. 2 Further, lyrics that have a connection with the listener’s personal experience can give voice to feelings or experiences that one might not be able to express oneself. Listening to soft and slow music, such as classical music, is better for managing negative emotions compared to hard or heavy music.
3 Music is a powerful emotional stimulus(刺激物) that changes our relationship with time. Time does indeed seem to fly when listening to pleasant music. Hearing pleasant music seems to keep attention away from time processing. Moreover, this attention-related shortening effect appears to be greater in the case of calm music with a slow tempo (节奏). For example, music is used in waiting rooms to reduce the subjective length of time spent waiting or in supermarkets to encourage people to stay for longer and buy more. 4
In sum, music can change our moods, emotions, and motivation. We can use music to express or challenge our moods. 5 For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians’ (伊朗人的) painful complaints.
A.Music can also show the mood on a national level.
B.We regularly use music to comfort our souls and pain.
C.Music are likely to affect a nation’s policies or decisions.
D.This is because they focus instead on the beauty of the music.
E.When listening to music, We are amazed at how quickly time passes by.
F.Music shows that one’s understanding of the passage of time is subjective.
G.Consumers spend more time in the grocery store when the background music is slow.
