The Secret to Taking Great Notes
Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking.
One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. 1 This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention.
For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. 2 You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections. This method is especially beneficial for visual learners as it shows the relationships between concepts, making complex topics easier to grasp.
Regardless of the method you choose, the core principle is active engagement. Don’t just passively record information. 3 Engage with the material by paraphrasing the speaker’s points. This forces you to process and understand the information on the spot.
Of course, the best method is the one that works for you. 4 You might use the Cornell Method for history lectures, which are dense with facts, but a Mind Map for brainstorming an essay topic. You might even combine different elements from various methods to create your own personalized system.
5 Review your notes periodically within 24 hours of taking them. This short, spaced repetition is one of the most powerful ways to move information from your short-term to your long-term memory, solidifying your learning and making exam preparation much less stressful.
A.Then, add smaller branches for specific details.
B.Therefore, it is popular among university students.
C.Ultimately, it’s crucial to review your notes afterward.
D.Experiment with different techniques to find your favorite.
E.This means you can paraphrase the content in your own words.
F.Instead, focus on summarizing the main idea in simple elegant words.
G.It divides your paper into a cue column, a notes section, and a summary area.

Passage 2
(2026·稽阳联谊·一模)
“Different strokes for different folks” applies as much to dining as to anything else. Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used. 6 Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.
The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become. 7 Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”.
However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made. 8
How, then, should pre-made dishes be regulated? The answer depends on whether we treat them as a product or a process. If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish. 9 Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch? Or were they prepared industrially? This distinction isn’t about safety alone, but reflects values like sustainability, tradition, taste, and price sensitivity. Nevertheless, both approaches must follow a common principle: labels must not be misleading.
But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules. 10 Done right, regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust, industrial innovation and cultural confidence all grow together.
A.These details should be disclosed to consumers.
B.It affects price, freshness, and even its cultural meaning.
C.China’s rising pre- made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization.
D.Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness.
E.It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food.
F.But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation.
G.If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made.

Blind boxes, or mystery boxes, are sealed packages containing surprise items. Buyers don’t know exactly what they’re purchasing until they open the box. 11 It transforms the way collectibles are marketed and purchased. Today, brands like Pop Mart have perfected the formula, offering themed blind boxes that cater to different tastes.
The blind box phenomenon isn’t limited to collectibles. 12 Businesses across sectors can incorporate this trend to increase customer engagement, attract a wider audience, and enhance the shopping experience. Here are a few ideas for how different types of businesses can incorporate blind box concepts.
Create mystery product boxes.
Introduce a line of mystery boxes for your products. For example, a beauty brand could create blind boxes with a mix of skincare or makeup products. 13 Each box could include items of varying values, creating an element of surprise for customers.
14

Incorporate blind boxes in loyalty programs.
For businesses with loyalty programs, offering blind boxes as part of a rewards program can drive engagement. 15 This would give them a unique stimulation to continue buying and interacting with your brand.
Adopting the blind box model can help businesses tap into the excitement and mystery that drives this trend, while also providing a fun and memorable experience for customers. By adding elements of exclusivity and variety, brands can boost sales and customer loyalty, turning each purchase into an engaging experience.

As our dogs enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 16 It involves a comprehensive approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being.
It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet check-ups to help detect any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, ensuring your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 17
As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. 18 Also consider giving supplements such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin.
Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. 19 Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones.
20 Spend quality time with your senior dog, engaging in activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companion enjoys their later years with dignity, comfort, and the love they deserve.

How to Apologize to a Cat
Oh no. You’ve done something to deeply offend your cat, and now it won’t even let you come near it. 21 The following will show you not only how to apologize to your cat, but it will also show you how to do it safely, so that you don’t get scratched.
Determine the offense. What did you do to make your cat so mad at you? Did you make fun of her? Step on its tail? Or did you take its spot on the couch? Knowing what you did wrong will help you decide how to approach your cat. 22
Choose a good time to apologize. If your cat is visibly angry, you will need to give it some time before you try to approach it and apologize; approaching too soon may result in getting scratched. Try not to wait too long to apologize, however. 23 You can also approach a frightened cat, but do so with caution. If your cat keeps running away from you, consider leaving behind a small treat in a place it can find. This will let it know that you are sorry and still care about it.
Walk slowly to your cat. If your cat runs away from you, it may be still be angry, upset, or frightened. Do not chase after your cat. Instead, try again a few minutes later. 24 Having a cat treat ready may also assure your cat.
25 Tell it “I’m sorry.” You may even use your cat’s name. Make sure that you are using a soft, calm voice, with a slightly higher pitch than usual. Your cat may not necessarily understand your words, but it will understand your tone. Do not use a loud, shrill voice; cats do have sensitive hearing and you will only annoy your cat.
A.Talk to your cat.
B.Praise and compliment your cat.
C.This will comfort your cat and help it feel safe.
D.Fortunately, it is possible to earn a cat’s forgiveness.
E.Instead, approach the cat as soon as it appears calmer.
F.It also means that you will spare some time to play with it.
G.It will also help you figure out how to apologize to it properly.

Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. 26 By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come.
27 The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. 28 If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.
Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. 29 If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.
Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. 30 This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.
With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
A.However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.
B.Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.
C.But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.
D.Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.
E.Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow.
F.Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.
G.Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

Passage 7
(2026·浙江·一模)
I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. 31 What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers?
32 I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too.
Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. 33 We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay.
Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. 34 College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground.
College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out. 35 That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people.
A.They’re part of your story.
B.But it was also filled with uncertainty.
C.I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything.
D.They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor.
E.That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you.
F.You may smile at memories with people no longer close with.
G.Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most.
Passage 8
(2026·新阵地联盟·一模)
How to Develop Personal Integrity
Personal integrity involves being the best, most honest and morally-sound version of yourself. 36 When you work on improving it, you enrich your own life and improve the lives of others. Here are several effective ways to strengthen it.
Live with honesty and keep your promises. 37 If you are dishonest or misleading with others, you cannot live a life of integrity. Part of being honest with others also includes keeping any promises that you make. A broken promise is effectively a lie, and lying is inconsistent with living with integrity.
38 You cannot live a life of integrity without being mindful of and concerned for others. A lack of compassion can result in selfishness and damaged relationships. Try to be understanding of how others feel. Be kind in daily interactions—for example, greet a hard-working cashier warmly.
Create a personal mission statement for your life. A good way to ensure that you are living a life of integrity is to lay out a list for yourself. Write out your goals and values, and think hard about what kind of person you want to be. 39 Whenever you feel uncertain, your mission statement should help ground you and remind you of the person you hope to become.
Finally, maintain a dedication to your values. Your values guide you through life and may change as you grow, but what matters most is never compromising them. Focus on what truly matters to you, and let those values determine how you treat others and make decisions. 40
Integrity is not achieved overnight, but through constant practicing, you can become a person truly worthy of trust and respect.
A.Show compassion and empathy towards others.
B.Keep this list in a visible place and review it daily.
C.Honesty is one of the most important aspects of integrity.
D.Your integrity may stem from your beliefs or goals in life.
E.Being honest is equally important when living with integrity.
F.However, flexibility in values can sometimes lead to greater success.
G.After all, genuine values should not be abandoned just for convenience.

How to Overcome the Harmful Habit of Judging
Ah, punctuality — the art of being precisely on time. It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack. 41 Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a superior society or merely another subjective construct.
Each part of the world has a unique relationship with time, enriching the fabric of global culture. In Japan, for example, you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early.
42 Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural preference for living in the moment.
But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard. 43 And Switzerland is often ranked as one of the most developed and happiest countries in the world, but let’s wait a bit to conclude.
Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept. 44 If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life.They don’t sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,” which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.
So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time. 45 Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress about being late.
A.Miss a train by a minute?
B.Punctuality is timeless art.
C.But is punctuality essential?
D.In this context, punctuality is flexible.
E.You could set your clock by their daily routines.
F.There, being late is not only accepted but expected.
G.Are you enjoying the journey or constantly watching the clock?

(2026·精诚联盟·一模)
What Challenges Will I Face With Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock?
There are plenty of reasons to look forward to going home, but there are also a number of challenges involved in re-adjusting. 46 Some students who faced these challenges and survived them well, made a list of symptoms (症状) of reverse culture shock.
Boredom.
After all the newness and stimulation of your time abroad, returning to family, friends and old routines can seem very dull. But it’s up to you to find ways to overcome such negative reactions. 47 Find cultural outlets that you hadn’t tried out before, learn a new hobby or take a day to be a tourist in your own town.
No one wants to hear.
Remember: No one will be as interested in hearing about your adventures or victories as you will be in sharing them. 48 It’s simply a reflection of the fact that once your friends or family have heard the highlights, they’ll feel like they’ve heard everything. So be brief in sharing your tales of adventure.
49
A few people will misinterpret your words or actions in such a way that communication is difficult. For example, what you may have come to think of as humor may be seen as showing off. Be aware of how you may look to others and how your behavior is likely to be interpreted.
Loss of experience.
Being home coupled with the pressures of job, family and friends often make returnees worried that somehow they will “lose” the experience. 50 Maintain your contacts. Talk to people who have experiences similar to yours. Remember and honor your hard work and the fun you had while abroad.
A.You can’t explain.
B.People misunderstand.
C.You do not have to let that happen.
D.This is not a rejection of you or your achievements.
E.Try to integrate your new perspective into your old home.
F.These can be especially tough because they are often unexpected.
G.The best preparation is flexibility, openness and tempered optimism.
Passage 11
(2026·湖州·一模)
Nearly 100 bookworms (书迷) walked through the U.S. national Arboretum on Aug. 24, among the sounds of dogs barking, feet marching and police sirens (警笛声) ringing out from a distance. Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds. 51 This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.
Since starting in march, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging — even if they didn’t talk to each other. “ 52 ” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick.
53 This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, where some of Book It Around D.C.’s members discovered the group through Instagram.
On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. 54 They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.
The group began walking a few minutes later — some quickly, others slowly — while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. 55 After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊).
A.Books are just like our close friends.
B.They were trying to focus on exercise itself.
C.Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people.
D.People of all ages carried head phones as they approached the table.
E.This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.
F.The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures.
G.Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones.
Passage 12
(2026·绍兴·一模)
Don’t Rush Through Books
I love books. I love reading. I do it as much as I can. I tell people they should do the same. But when I hear that people are using apps to try to read more in less time, I just shake my head. Guys, you’re doing it wrong! Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. 56
Unfortunately, reading always falls victim to seeking productivity shortcuts. People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. Actually, such an act tends to be penny wise and pound foolish. 57 Simply put: You don’t need to squeeze reading into the in-between moments of your life; you need to squeeze out the non-essentials and make reading, and reading well, the priority.
Once on a flight, I was surrounded by businessmen — the type of people who would say things like “I’m too busy to read”. And what were they doing on this flight? Watching videos, texting, or chatting. I was the only one reading. In two and a half hours, I got all the way through the book. But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. 58 The book was about a man’s attempt to retract Coronado’s expedition on horseback. I was transported from that plane to the desert. I was fully engaged.
We have to remember: we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. Always, 59 The time you spend reading them, the time you carved out and gave to the process — that’s what you’ll remember at the end of your life. That is the prize.
60 They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority. And from that, everything follows: the more you read, the better you get, and the more you want to read. They don’t rush. They savor. And so should you.
A.It was those quiet, reflective hours.
B.You’re not supposed to rush through it.
C.Never miss the chance to win the prize.
D.It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading.
E.All great readers share one rule: they value reading.
F.When I am reading, I feel like someone else understands me.
G.What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities.
Passage 13
(2026·台州·一模)
How to Develop Effective Reading Habits?
Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings.
61 . Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax? Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language.
Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 62 . It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule.
Choose the right reading environment. 63 . Some people prefer quiet places like libraries or their home study, while others enjoy reading in cafes with soft background music. Make sure your reading space is comfortable — have a good chair, proper lighting, and keep distractions like phones or TVs to a minimum.
Take notes while reading to enhance comprehension. 64 . Write down key ideas, unfamiliar words, or questions that come to mind. You can use a notebook, sticky notes, or digital tools like e-readers with note-taking features. Reviewing your notes later will help you remember what you’ve read.
Finally, celebrate your progress. 65 . Whether you finish a book, reach a reading goal, or discover a new favorite author, take time to acknowledge your achievement. Reward yourself with a trip to a bookstore, a new bookmark, or simply the satisfaction of knowing you’re building a valuable habit.
A.Set clear reading goals
B.This makes reading more interactive and social
C.Everyone has different preferences for where they read best
D.Reading in short, regular sessions is more effective than long, occasional ones
E.Keeping track of your reading journey can motivate you to keep going
F.Not every book will resonate with you, and that’s perfectly normal
G.This helps you engage actively with the text and retain information better
Passage 14
(2026·强基联盟·一模)
Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. 66
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. 67 According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
68 First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. 69 This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. 70 It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A.But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B.This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C.Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D.However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E.It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F.Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G.Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

(2026·县域教研·一模)
We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a.m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. 71
Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone, and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. 72 But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people.
The best strategy? Tricking yourself into a new rhythm before travel. 73 For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements.
74 While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag.
In reality, there are lots of things that come into play. 75 While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, at least researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure.
A.A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find.
B.So how can we deal with the annoying jet lag?
C.That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast.
D.There are some tools to help with this, of course.
E.Meanwhile, different people have different rhythms.
F.The key to the trick is to manage your light exposure.
G.However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep.
Passage 16
(2026·嘉兴·一模)
According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 76 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.
Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 77 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate.
Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 78 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 79 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished.
80 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.”
So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back?
A.Allow space in your day for doing nothing.
B.So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn?
C.Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes.
D.Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea.
E.Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait?
F.They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer.
G.This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions.

Many famous creative thinkers like Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali were known to take regular daytime naps. Recent scientific studies suggest this wasn’t just coincidence — there appears to be a real connection between brief naps and enhanced creativity. Researchers have discovered that a specific sleep stage called non-rapid-eye-movement (the N1 state), which occurs just as we begin to fall asleep, may be particularly important for generating innovative ideas.
A study conducted at the Paris Brain Institute provides strong evidence for this connection. 81 . After a 20-minute rest period where some participants napped, those who reached the N1 sleep state were nearly three times more likely to solve challenging math problems compared to those who stayed awake.
82 . The famous chemist August Kekulé reportedly discovered the ring structure of benzene (苯) after visualizing a snake biting its own tail during this half-awake state. Similarly, many artists and inventors throughout history have credited their nap-time visions with breakthrough ideas.
Scientists call this process “targeted dream incubation (孵化).” 83 . When people focus on a specific problem as they begin to nap, their brains continue working on it during this special sleep stage, often making unexpected connections that lead to creative solutions.
You can try this creative napping technique yourself: Before napping, take a few moments to write down an issue or creative challenge facing you. 84 Then, when the timer goes off, stand up, grab the note and pen, and write down whatever jumps into your mind.
85 . Just like any skill, learning to harness the creative power of naps takes practice. Researchers suggest trying this method several times before expecting significant results.
A.Set an alarm for 15-20 minutes to avoid sleeping too deeply.
B.Some people believe longer naps are always more beneficial.
C.The brain remains partially active during this early sleep phase.
D.Regular practice can improve your ability to generate creative solutions.
E.Participants were given difficult math problems they couldn’t initially solve.
F.Historical records show many scientific discoveries came from such moments.
G.It involves consciously thinking about a certain challenge before you fall asleep.
Passage 18
(2026·江浙皖共同体·一模)
How to productively learn from the past
The past is a treasure chest filled with learning opportunities for our present and future. 86 Here are seven ways to open up that dirty, unassuming, beat-up old chest to find and use the treasure inside.
Reflect on it. In order to gain value and insight from the past, reflection is a necessary first step. The past opens its insight to us when we stop and look back at what has already occurred. 87 Your entire past, your actions, results, and feelings are all available if you choose to tap into them.
Study it. Studying the past starts to feel like a history course. 88 Rather, it is to place yourself in the narrative (叙述) to understand what was happening and what you can learn from it. Studying in this way makes both the specifics and the context valuable. You also build a mental file of tools and approaches to make better, wiser, more informed decisions.
Replay it. Replaying a situation is different from just reflecting on it. 89 Reimagine it, but with the knowledge and perspective that you now have after the fact. Use this insight education to think through what you might do differently or better in the next similar situation. This is like pre-creating positive future moments!
90 There are some things in your past that you regret, feel guilty about, or wish you would have done differently. The fact is, however badly you feel, however desperately wish you could change it, it’s in the past. The page has turned. This may mean you have to forgive others or yourself. Let go of pain or guilt and keep the learning.
A.Make use of it.
B.Release yourself from it.
C.But only if we look inside.
D.Try walking back through the situation.
E.The treasure is there, but you must look for it.
F.Reflection knows no time period and no limitations.
G.Your goal isn’t to pass a test or hold a bunch of dates in your head.
Passage 19
(2026·七校联盟·一模)
Many of us have, at times, failed to pursue a goal. We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead. 91 Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year.
92 I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument. The feeling that we don’t have enough hours has become such an integral part of our lives that we almost take it for granted to never feel like we have enough time.
New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit failure. 93 This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation.
In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal. 94 This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time.
How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future. 95 We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals.
A.Learning to manage our time effectively is the key to pursuing goals.
B.One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers.
C.This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later.
D.Hence, we must learn to prioritize our goals more effectively over other activities.
E.One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time.
F.Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon.
G.Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time.
Passage 20
(2026·金丽衢·一模)
You don’t have to quit sugar, go vegan or run a marathon to see real change in your health and well-being. 96 Little actions, done consistently, are what create lasting change, says Wendy Wood, PhD, psychologist and author of Good Habits, Bad Habits.
The secret? It’s not willpower. It’s not even goals. “The best way to turn a small change into a powerful habit is not to focus on your motivation, the reasons why you want to do it or your long-term goals,” she says. Wait? 97 Aren’t goals supposed to fuel us?
“That is what everyone thinks. However, research has shown that making small alterations to the environment, the context in which you perform the behavior, is far more powerful. Goals aren’t bad; they certainly have a purpose, but ‘motivation’ only lasts for so long,” she says. “ 98 ”
For example, do you think your goal of getting back into the same size jeans you wore in high school will inspire you to hit the gym every day? Nope. What will? “Choose a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles. 99 ” Wood says. “Even better if you are doing an activity you really enjoy or meeting a good friend there.”
100 Better sleep, stronger muscles, calmer moods and a sharper mind. To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed micro-habits. They can transform your physical, emotional and mental health. No guilt, no overwhelm and no special requirement.
A.Habits need to be easy and enjoyable to stick.
B.Instead, science supports a “go small” approach.
C.The small changes will benefit a lot when taking root.
D.The powerful habit isn’t the key to gaining physical health.
E.Big lifestyle changes are necessary for health improvement.
F.Isn’t motivation the whole point of New Year’s resolutions?
G.That was the strongest predictor of gym attendance in our research.

Leisure Focus: Scrapbooking
The dictionary defines a scrapbook as “an empty book for collecting and preserving photographs, newspaper articles, and other papers.” 106 To learn more about it, we talked with Diane Lucas of Scrapsforever.com.
What is scrapbooking, exactly?
When I make a scrapbook page, I take a few of my family photos and put them into a “layout”—a page that uses fancy paper, stickers, drawings, and words to show the theme. When you make a scrapbook, you put words and pictures together to show the important times in your life. 107
How did you get started?
When I was a child, I loved looking at and remembering things like movie tickets and vacation postcards. 108 When I looked through his desk, I found the most wonderful things—like my parents’ anniversary cards, and photos from his Army days. I couldn’t throw away anything, so I made two scrapbooks, for my brother and me.
109
Oh, yes! We call ourselves “scrappers,” and we love to have big parties where we work on our scrapbooks. We bring our scissors and papers and our boxes of photos. It’s a time for enjoyment, when friends show pictures and tell stories about our families, and our lives. At the same time, we create a book to keep those memories.
Why is scrapbooking so popular these days?
110 When you make a scrapbook, you can pass the stories to your children and your grandchildren. In the U.S. alone there are 2,500 stores that sell paper and other supplies for scrapbooking. You can find scrapbooking websites from other countries. We all have boxes of pictures, and we all want to keep those precious memories. That’s the real meaning of scrapbooking: sharing your family and your story.
A.It’s like a personal history.
B.Do you know other people who make scrapbooks?
C.Do you enjoy creating with others at social gatherings?
D.However, it can be a rather expensive hobby to maintain.
E.Today, scrapbooking is also a verb and a popular new hobby.
F.I made my first scrapbook ten years ago, when my father died.
G.People want to preserve their family history, and display it to other people.
Passage 23
(2026·七彩阳光·一模)
Are you feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks and not enough time? 111 After extensive research and trial of various techniques, I’ve pulled together a series of strategies that will help you take control of your days.
Know how you spend your time. Keeping track of your time is crucial for effective management. 112 Surprisingly, even minor activities can become significant time consumers when added up. Conducting a simple time audit (审计) helps you find these hidden black holes in your schedule, which might be taking precious moments away from more critical tasks. You need to write down what you’re doing at regular intervals (间隙) in the day for about a week or two.
113 Determining what tasks are most important and need to be done first ensures that your time and energy are focused on the right things. 114 Once you have a clear vision of what you’re aiming for, it becomes easier to determine which tasks fit with those goals. It’s also important to consider deadlines and the impact each task will have on your overall productivity to make sure that you’re spending your precious time on tasks that truly matter and will bring you closer to reaching your objectives.
Use a planning tool. 115 By using a task manager or planner, you can easily track your goals, set deadlines, and break down tasks into smaller steps. This allows you to create a clear roadmap for what needs to be accomplished and helps prevent overwhelm. As a result, you can confidently manage your time and achieve greater productivity in both your personal and professional life.
Give it a shot and prepare yourself for an exciting journey toward better productivity and less stress!
A.Set priorities.
B.I’ve been there.
C.Schedule appropriately.
D.Start by identifying your goals and objectives.
E.It helps you stay organized and prioritize tasks.
F.This will help you stay focused on what truly matters.
G.Many of us are unaware of how we typically spend our hours and minutes daily.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, electronic waste, or e-waste, has become a significant environmental concern. According to the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership (GESP), a record 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste was produced globally in 2019, increasing 21% in just five years. By 2050, the volume of e-waste could top 120 million tonnes annually. 116
The improper disposal of it poses serious threats to the environment and human health because of the presence of harmful materials such as lead and mercury. 117 It is due to their rapidly developing bodies, including their respiratory (呼吸的), immune and central nervous systems.
Luckily, many countries are turning to tackle the e-waste challenges. They commit to specializing in refurbishing (翻新) electronics, making them available to consumers at a lower cost. 118 By doing so, valuable materials such as gold, silver, and copper can be extracted from electronic devices, reducing the need for mining new resources.
Meanwhile, individuals can also contribute to e-waste disposal by being mindful of their electronic consumption. 119 Support electronic manufacturers committed to green technologies aiming for a sustainable cycle of production. Additionally, to ensure the safe and secure disposal of all sensitive information, prioritizing data security in e-waste disposal is necessary.
120 Do remember to reduce the environmental impacts of electronic products and share a greener and more sustainable future.
A.It is every small action that counts.
B.Prevention and management are needed.
C.Recycling efforts have also become a key component.
D.This includes buying quality products that last longer.
E.Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable.
F.However, currently only 17.4% of it is recycled responsibly.
G.Only a small percentage of e-waste has been recycled globally.

Looking for a relaxing holiday? Need to refresh yourself after a stressful few months? 126
First of all, what exactly is a spa? Traditionally, spas were places where you “took the waters” – meaning you drank some of the water or bathed in it. 127 In general, the term is often used to refer to a commercial establishment that provides a wide range of services for health, fitness, weight loss, beauty and relaxation. This may include exercise classes, massage, mud baths, body treatment, and so on.
128 In Japan, traditional hot springs have attracted visitors for centuries. And thermal (温泉) baths have been found in the ruins of the Cretan palace of Knossos that date back to the 2nd millennium BC.
129 They established a number of towns around thermal waters. In the 18th century, spas became the fashionable places to go on holiday. Spas in the UK were very popular with British royals.
A typical day in Carlsbad in the 19th century went as follows. Visitors got up at 6:00 am to drink the waters and be serenaded by a band. Next, came a light breakfast, a bath in the waters, and then lunch. In the afternoon, visitors went sight-seeing, walked or attended concerts. 130 Guests returned to their hotels at about 9 pm to rest until six the following morning. Visitors would stay for as long as a month.
Today, spa treatments are more popular than ever, although drinking the water isn’t as common as it used to be. But of course, if you want some mineral water, you can always get a bottle of Perrier from the mini-bar!
A.Here’re some tips for you.
B.Perhaps you need to go to a spa!
C.Of course, there’s nothing new about spas.
D.After dinner, there were musical performances.
E.Spas were introduced to the UK in the 17th century.
F.But nowadays, a “spa” can mean a variety of things.
G.It was the Romans who made spas popular in Europe.

The Secret to Taking Great Notes
Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking.
One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. 1 This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention.
For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. 2 You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections. This method is especially beneficial for visual learners as it shows the relationships between concepts, making complex topics easier to grasp.
Regardless of the method you choose, the core principle is active engagement. Don’t just passively record information. 3 Engage with the material by paraphrasing the speaker’s points. This forces you to process and understand the information on the spot.
Of course, the best method is the one that works for you. 4 You might use the Cornell Method for history lectures, which are dense with facts, but a Mind Map for brainstorming an essay topic. You might even combine different elements from various methods to create your own personalized system.
5 Review your notes periodically within 24 hours of taking them. This short, spaced repetition is one of the most powerful ways to move information from your short-term to your long-term memory, solidifying your learning and making exam preparation much less stressful.
A.Then, add smaller branches for specific details.
B.Therefore, it is popular among university students.
C.Ultimately, it’s crucial to review your notes afterward.
D.Experiment with different techniques to find your favorite.
E.This means you can paraphrase the content in your own words.
F.Instead, focus on summarizing the main idea in simple elegant words.
G.It divides your paper into a cue column, a notes section, and a summary area.
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.E 4.D 5.C

Passage 2
(2026·稽阳联谊·一模)
“Different strokes for different folks” applies as much to dining as to anything else. Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used. 6 Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.
The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become. 7 Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”.
However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made. 8
How, then, should pre-made dishes be regulated? The answer depends on whether we treat them as a product or a process. If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish. 9 Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch? Or were they prepared industrially? This distinction isn’t about safety alone, but reflects values like sustainability, tradition, taste, and price sensitivity. Nevertheless, both approaches must follow a common principle: labels must not be misleading.
But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules. 10 Done right, regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust, industrial innovation and cultural confidence all grow together.
A.These details should be disclosed to consumers.
B.It affects price, freshness, and even its cultural meaning.
C.China’s rising pre- made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization.
D.Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness.
E.It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food.
F.But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation.
G.If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made.
【答案】6.A 7.D 8.F 9.G 10.E
、【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了预制菜在餐饮业中的争议,强调了消费者对信息透明度的需求,并探讨了如何通过监管和沟通来平衡公众认知与专业定义。
6.由上文“Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used.(食物偏好不仅仅是关于口味。它们还涉及食材的来源、加工方式以及所使用的烹饪方法。)”及下文“Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.(如果不加以控制,不完整或误导性的信息可能会引发争议,破坏信任,甚至引发食品安全问题。)”可知,本空应承接上文提到的“食材来源、加工方式等细节”,并引出“信息公开”的重要性。A 选项“These details should be disclosed to consumers.(这些细节应该向消费者公开。)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选A。

As our dogs enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 16 It involves a comprehensive approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being.
It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet check-ups to help detect any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, ensuring your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 17
As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too.

20 Spend quality time with your senior dog, engaging in activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companion enjoys their later years with dignity, comfort, and the love they deserve.

A.Talk to your cat.
B.Praise and compliment your cat.
C.This will comfort your cat and help it feel safe.

Passage 6
(2026·十二校·一模)
Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation. 26 By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for seasons to come.
27 The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives throughout the day. 28 If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.
Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the flavor of Italian dishes. 29 If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while others prefer warmer temperatures.
Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. 30 This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much water and cause the roots to rot.
With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
A.However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.
B.Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.
C.But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.
D.Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.
E.Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to grow.
F.Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.
G.Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

Passage 7
(2026·浙江·一模)
I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. 31 What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers?
32 I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too.
Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. 33 We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay.
Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. 34 College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground.
College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out. 35 That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people.
A.They’re part of your story.
B.But it was also filled with uncertainty.
C.I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything.
D.They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor.
E.That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you.
F.You may smile at memories with people no longer close with.
G.Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most.

Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. (大学是人生中少数能让你被背景和经历截然不同的人围绕的地方之一。保持开放心态,和寻找共同话题同样重要。)”转而陈述要和不同背景和经历的人交往。由此可知,在大学不要局限于与自己有共同价值观的人在一起。E项“尽管如此,不要把自己局限在只和与你相似的人交往上。”符合语境,承上启下。故选E。

How to Develop Personal Integrity
Personal integrity involves being the best, most honest and morally-sound version of yourself. 36 When you work on improving it, you enrich your own life and improve the lives of others. Here are several effective ways to strengthen it.
Live with honesty and keep your promises. 37 If you are dishonest or misleading with others, you cannot live a life of integrity. Part of being honest with others also includes keeping any promises that you make. A broken promise is effectively a lie, and lying is inconsistent with living with integrity.
38 You cannot live a life of integrity without being mindful of and concerned for others. A lack of compassion can result in selfishness and damaged relationships. Try to be understanding of how others feel. Be kind in daily interactions—for example, greet a hard-working cashier warmly.
Create a personal mission statement for your life. A good way to ensure that you are living a life of integrity is to lay out a list for yourself. Write out your goals and values, and think hard about what kind of person you want to be. 39 Whenever you feel uncertain, your mission statement should help ground you and remind you of the person you hope to become.
Finally, maintain a dedication to your values. Your values guide you through life and may change as you grow, but what matters most is never compromising them. Focus on what truly matters to you, and let those values determine how you treat others and make decisions. 40
Integrity is not achieved overnight, but through constant practicing, you can become a person truly worthy of trust and respect.
A.Show compassion and empathy towards others.
B.Keep this list in a visible place and review it daily.
C.Honesty is one of the most important aspects of integrity.
D.Your integrity may stem from your beliefs or goals in life.
E.Being honest is equally important when living with integrity.
F.However, flexibility in values can sometimes lead to greater success.
G.After all, genuine values should not be abandoned just for convenience.

How to Overcome the Harmful Habit of Judging
Ah, punctuality — the art of being precisely on time. It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack. 41 Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a superior society or merely another subjective construct.
Each part of the world has a unique relationship with time, enriching the fabric of global culture. In Japan, for example, you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early.
42 Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural preference for living in the moment.
But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard. 43 And Switzerland is often ranked as one of the most developed and happiest countries in the world, but let’s wait a bit to conclude.
Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept. 44 If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life.They don’t sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,” which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.
So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time. 45 Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress about being late.
A.Miss a train by a minute?
B.Punctuality is timeless art.
C.But is punctuality essential?
D.In this context, punctuality is flexible.
E.You could set your clock by their daily routines.
F.There, being late is not only accepted but expected.
G.Are you enjoying the journey or constantly watching the clock?
【答案】41.C 42.A 43.E 44.F 45.G
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了守时这一习惯是否为衡量一个社会优越性的标准,指出不同文化对守时的看法不同,重要的是如何利用时间。
41.上文“It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack.(守时这一概念在某些文化中根深蒂固,以至于哪怕迟到一分钟都可能引发一场小规模的恐慌)”强调了守时在部分文化中的重要性。空处需要承接前文,引发下文对“守时是否是优越社会的标志或主观建构”的探讨,与前文为转折设问关系,起到承上启下的作用。C项“但守时真的必不可少吗?”中的But体现转折,“is punctuality essential”直接呼应下文的核心探讨,符合语境。故选C。
42.上文“In Japan, for example, you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early.(例如,在日本,人们总是被要求准时到达,最好还能提前几分钟)”说明了日本对守时的严格要求。空后“Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot.(运气不好,但下一班列车会准点到达)”提到了“下一班列车”,可推断空处与“错过列车”相关。A项“迟到一分钟错过列车?”以设问形式衔接前文的守时要求,引出后文关于列车准点的内容,空处与前文为顺接假设关系,符合逻辑。故选A。
43.上文“The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard.(瑞士人以其精准和守时而闻名,常被奉为效率的完美典范。他们的列车准点运行,手表是业界标杆)”详细描述了瑞士人的守时和精准。空处需要进一步补充瑞士人守时的表现,与前文为顺接补充关系。E项“你可以根据他们的日常作息来校准时钟。”形象地体现了瑞士人作息的规律性和守时性,是对前文“精准和守时”的进一步说明,符合语境。故选E。
44.上文“Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept.(以巴西为例,“巴西时间”是一个众所周知的概念)”引出巴西的时间观念。空后“If you attend a party at the specified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe.(如果你按指定时间参加派对,很可能会发现主人还穿着浴袍)”说明巴西人对迟到的包容。F项“在那里,迟到不仅被接受,甚至是意料之中的事。” 中的“There”指代巴西,“not only accepted but expected”准确概括了巴西对迟到的态度,空处与前文为顺接解释关系,衔接后文的具体例子,符合逻辑。故选F。
45.上文“Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-back, what truly matters is how you spend your time.(无论你是严守守时的人还是更随性的人,真正重要的是你如何度过时间)”强调“如何度过时间”比“是否守时”更重要。空处需要进一步探讨“如何度过时间”的具体内涵,与前文为顺接设问关系,引发读者思考。G项“你是在享受过程,还是一直在盯着时钟?”以设问形式呼应前文的“如何度过时间”,区分了“享受生活”与“纠结时间”两种态度,为下文“寻找中间立场”做铺垫,符合语境。故选G。

What Challenges Will I Face With Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock?
There are plenty of reasons to look forward to going home, but there are also a number of challenges involved in re-adjusting. 46 Some students who faced these challenges and survived them well, made a list of symptoms (症状) of reverse culture shock.
Boredom.
After all the newness and stimulation of your time abroad, returning to family, friends and old routines can seem very dull. But it’s up to you to find ways to overcome such negative reactions. 47 Find cultural outlets that you hadn’t tried out before, learn a new hobby or take a day to be a tourist in your own town.
No one wants to hear.
Remember: No one will be as interested in hearing about your adventures or victories as you will be in sharing them. 48 It’s simply a reflection of the fact that once your friends or family have heard the highlights, they’ll feel like they’ve heard everything. So be brief in sharing your tales of adventure.
49
A few people will misinterpret your words or actions in such a way that communication is difficult. For example, what you may have come to think of as humor may be seen as showing off. Be aware of how you may look to others and how your behavior is likely to be interpreted.
Loss of experience.
Being home coupled with the pressures of job, family and friends often make returnees worried that somehow they will “lose” the experience. 50 Maintain your contacts. Talk to people who have experiences similar to yours. Remember and honor your hard work and the fun you had while abroad.
A.You can’t explain.
B.People misunderstand.
C.You do not have to let that happen.
D.This is not a rejection of you or your achievements.
E.Try to integrate your new perspective into your old home.
F.These can be especially tough because they are often unexpected.
G.The best preparation is flexibility, openness and tempered optimism.

Passage 11
(2026·湖州·一模)
Nearly 100 bookworms (书迷) walked through the U.S. national Arboretum on Aug. 24, among the sounds of dogs barking, feet marching and police sirens (警笛声) ringing out from a distance. Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds. 51 This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.
Since starting in march, Book It Around D.C. has grown, bringing together audiobook listeners who said they felt happier or safer in a group. They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging — even if they didn’t talk to each other. “ 52 ” said Bailey, who listened to “The Book Club for Troublesome Women” by Marie Bostwick.
53 This is especially true because a recent study showed that fewer Americans than before read for pleasure. In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country. Many readers have found communities on social media, where some of Book It Around D.C.’s members discovered the group through Instagram.
On the morning of Aug. 24, Kit Ballenger, a librarian who lives in Montgomery County, set up a foldable table in a parking lot in the southern part of the National Arboretum. 54 They each wrote their first name and current audiobook on a white sticker they stuck to the front of their shirts.
The group began walking a few minutes later — some quickly, others slowly — while many walkers opened audiobook apps on their phones. Some walkers used the roughly 90-minute outing to make friends, chatting about their jobs, their favorite books and their go-to grocery stores. 55 After a quiet walk, the lawn filled with chatter (闲聊).
A.Books are just like our close friends.
B.They were trying to focus on exercise itself.
C.Bookworms say they are seeking like-minded people.
D.People of all ages carried head phones as they approached the table.
E.This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.
F.The walkers passed trees, paths and gardens, many stopping to take pictures.
G.Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones.
【答案】51.G 52.E 53.C 54.D 55.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍美国“华盛顿读书漫步”俱乐部,它将有声书与步行结合,吸引书迷参与,满足其社交与阅读需求,同类读书俱乐部也渐受欢迎。
51.由上文“Many walkers didn’t care about those sounds.(许多步行者并不在意那些声音。)”和下文“This was the monthly meeting for Book It Around D.C., a new club that combines audiobooks and walking.(这是“华盛顿读书漫步”俱乐部的月度聚会,这是一个结合有声书和步行的新俱乐部。)”可知,空格处需说明“步行者不在意噪音的原因”——专注于有声书。G项“Instead, they were listening to narrators read audiobooks on their headphones.(相反,他们正戴着耳机听讲述者朗读有声书。)”符合语境,“Instead”承接上文“不在意噪音”,“listening to audiobooks”呼应下文俱乐部“结合有声书和步行”的核心,承上启下。故选G项。
52.由上文“They also said it not only was a pleasure in reading but also brought them a sense of belonging——even if they didn’t talk to each other.(他们还表示,这不仅是阅读的乐趣,还带来了归属感——即使彼此不交谈。)”可知,空格处需总结“阅读 + 步行”的双重体验。E项“This feels like something that is beautifully both inward and outward.(这感觉是一种内外兼修的美好体验。)”符合语境,“This”指代“听有声书 + 步行”,“inward”对应“阅读的乐趣、内心感受”,“outward”对应“步行、群体归属感”,精准概括前文核心,逻辑连贯。故选E项。
53.由下文“In addition to audiobook clubs, silent book clubs, where people gather to read silently, have grown in popularity across the country.

Passage 12
(2026·绍兴·一模)
Don’t Rush Through Books
I love books. I love reading. I do it as much as I can. I tell people they should do the same. But when I hear that people are using apps to try to read more in less time, I just shake my head. Guys, you’re doing it wrong! Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. 56
Unfortunately, reading always falls victim to seeking productivity shortcuts. People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. Actually, such an act tends to be penny wise and pound foolish. 57 Simply put: You don’t need to squeeze reading into the in-between moments of your life; you need to squeeze out the non-essentials and make reading, and reading well, the priority.
Once on a flight, I was surrounded by businessmen — the type of people who would say things like “I’m too busy to read”. And what were they doing on this flight? Watching videos, texting, or chatting. I was the only one reading. In two and a half hours, I got all the way through the book. But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. 58 The book was about a man’s attempt to retract Coronado’s expedition on horseback. I was transported from that plane to the desert. I was fully engaged.
We have to remember: we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. Always, 59 The time you spend reading them, the time you carved out and gave to the process — that’s what you’ll remember at the end of your life. That is the prize.
60 They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority. And from that, everything follows: the more you read, the better you get, and the more you want to read. They don’t rush. They savor. And so should you.
A.It was those quiet, reflective hours.
B.You’re not supposed to rush through it.
C.Never miss the chance to win the prize.
D.It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading.
E.All great readers share one rule: they value reading.
F.When I am reading, I feel like someone else understands me.
G.What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities.
【答案】56.B 57.G 58.A 59.D 60.E
【导语】本文是议论文,作者批驳“速读”风气,主张把阅读当作享受与意义之旅,提出“质量重于数量”“调整生活优先级”“让阅读成为习惯”等观点,并通过自身飞行途中沉浸阅读的实例加以佐证。
56.上文“Reading is like eating, dating, and travelling. The whole point is that it’s pleasurable and meaningful. (阅读就像吃饭、约会和旅行。关键在于其带来的愉悦与意义。)”强调阅读应被享受,B项“You’re not supposed to rush through it. (你不该匆匆读完它。)”直接回应“速读”错误,也与本段作者“摇头”态度一致,故选B。
57.上文“People may rush through books over dinner table to save ten minutes but willingly fly across the country for a three-day conference where nothing gets accomplished. (人们可能为了省十分钟而在饭桌上匆匆读书,却愿意飞越全国参加一个毫无成果的三天会议。)”批判本末倒置,G项“What really needs changing is not reading speed but daily priorities. (真正需要改变的不是阅读速度,而是日常优先级。)”指出症结在于“优先级”错位,承上启下,故选G。
58.上文“But it wasn’t finishing a book that mattered. (但重要的并不是读完一本书。)”指出读书不要贪快,A项“It was those quiet, reflective hours. (正是那些安静、沉思的时光。)”突出“过程”价值,故选A。
59.上文“we don’t get a prize at the end of life for having rushed through as many books as possible. Remember: quality over quantity. (我们不会在生命终点因匆匆读完尽可能多的书而获奖。记住:质量胜过数量。)”再次强调“质胜于量”,D项“It doesn’t matter how much you end up reading. (你最终读了多少并不重要。)”与“quality over quantity”同义反复,故选D。
60.下文“They don’t fit it in between other tasks they make it the priority. And from that, everything follows: the more you read, the better you get, and the more you want to read. They don’t rush. They savor. (他们不会把阅读挤在其他任务之间,而是把阅读当作首要之事。正因如此,一切便水到渠成:读得越多,能力越强,越想读。他们不匆忙,他们品味。)”总结优秀读者的共性,E项“All great readers share one rule: they value reading. (所有优秀读者都遵循一条规则:他们珍视阅读。)”总领该段,与“prioritize — savor”逻辑链闭合,故选E。

How to Develop Effective Reading Habits?
Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings.
61 . Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax? Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language.
Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 62 . It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule.
Choose the right reading environment. 63 . Some people prefer quiet places like libraries or their home study, while others enjoy reading in cafes with soft background music. Make sure your reading space is comfortable — have a good chair, proper lighting, and keep distractions like phones or TVs to a minimum.
Take notes while reading to enhance comprehension. 64 . Write down key ideas, unfamiliar words, or questions that come to mind. You can use a notebook, sticky notes, or digital tools like e-readers with note-taking features. Reviewing your notes later will help you remember what you’ve read.
Finally, celebrate your progress. 65 . Whether you finish a book, reach a reading goal, or discover a new favorite author, take time to acknowledge your achievement. Reward yourself with a trip to a bookstore, a new bookmark, or simply the satisfaction of knowing you’re building a valuable habit.
A.Set clear reading goals
B.This makes reading more interactive and social
C.Everyone has different preferences for where they read best
D.Reading in short, regular sessions is more effective than long, occasional ones
E.Keeping track of your reading journey can motivate you to keep going
F.Not every book will resonate with you, and that’s perfectly normal
G.This helps you engage actively with the text and retain information better

Passage 14
(2026·强基联盟·一模)
Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. 66
On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. 67 According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.
68 First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments.
What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. 69 This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress.
But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. 70 It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.
In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope.
A.But why do we love nostalgia so much?
B.This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us.
C.Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.
D.However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.
E.It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.
F.Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy.
G.Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.

Passage 15
(2026·县域教研·一模)
We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a.m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. 71
Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone, and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. 72 But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people.
The best strategy? Tricking yourself into a new rhythm before travel. 73 For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements.
74 While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag.
In reality, there are lots of things that come into play. 75 While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, at least researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure.
A.A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find.
B.So how can we deal with the annoying jet lag?
C.That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast.
D.There are some tools to help with this, of course.
E.Meanwhile, different people have different rhythms.
F.The key to the trick is to manage your light exposure.
G.However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep.
【答案】71.C 72.A 73.D 74.G 75.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了时差反应(jet lag)的成因、对人体的影响,并介绍了通过调整光照、使用科技工具、合理安排饮食等多种策略来缓解时差反应的方法。
71.上文“Yet when 2 a.m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. (然而当凌晨两点来临,你仍然清醒异常,漫无目的地浏览着社交媒体,深陷于时差反应的控制之中)” 描述了跨时区旅行后深夜难以入睡的典型时差反应状态。C选项 “That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. (这就是过快跨越时区的代价)”是对上文所述现象的总结和定性,其中的“That”指代上文的“时差反应”状态,点明了这种不适是快速跨越时区的必然结果,上下文逻辑自然衔接。故选C项。
72.上文“But when we land in a new time zone, and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. (但当我们抵达一个新的时区,白昼突然变为黑夜,这种节律就被打乱了)”解释了时差产生的原因:生物钟节律失衡。A选项“So how can we deal with the annoying jet lag? (那么我们该如何应对恼人的时差反应呢?)”通过疑问句承上启下,由对问题的描述自然过渡到对解决方案的探讨,引出下文科学家寻找缓解方法的内容,符合行文逻辑。故选A项。
73.上文“The best strategy? Tricking yourself into a new rhythm before travel. (最佳策略?在旅行前就让自己适应新的节律)”提出了通过提前调整来适应新节律的策略。下文“For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. (例如,由一位神经科学家及其团队开发的应用程序“Timeshifter”,根据航班安排为光照和睡眠提供个性化的时间表)”举例说明了一种实现该策略的工具。D选项“There are some tools to help with this, of course. (当然,有一些工具可以帮助做到这一点)”恰好连接了“策略”与“具体工具举例”,句中“this”指代上文提到的“提前调整节律”的策略。故选D项。
74.下文“While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag.(虽然大脑是我们体内总的主时钟,但像肝脏和肌肉等其他组织也有各自的生物钟来调节新陈代谢,即身体将食物转化为能量的过程。也就是说,进餐时间和食物构成对于缓解时差反应同样至关重要)”开始讨论除了大脑主时钟外,其他组织器官的节律以及饮食安排对缓解时差的作用。G选项 “However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. (然而,时差反应不仅仅与光照和睡眠有关)”与上文构成转折,将讨论范围从光照、睡眠这两个主要因素扩展到其他领域(如饮食),引出下文的新话题,起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。
75.上文“In reality, there are lots of things that come into play. (事实上,有很多因素都在起作用)”总述缓解时差涉及多方面因素。下文“While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, at least researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. (虽然我们还没有办法完全避免时差反应,但至少研究人员和航空公司都在积极寻找解决方案,并未懈怠)”总结了现状并表达了积极展望。E选项 “Meanwhile, different people have different rhythms. (同时,不同的人有不同的节律)”与上文“lots of things”呼应,列举了影响时差反应的另一个具体因素(个体节律差异),与上下文语意连贯,共同说明了问题的复杂性。故选E项。
Passage 16
(2026·嘉兴·一模)
According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. 76 In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.
Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially. Once everything is on paper, group these into life areas like work or emotional wellbeing. 77 This creates order and gives your brain permission to concentrate.
Every time you feel your thoughts wandering, give yourself three seconds — breathe in, name what you’re feeling, and redirect your focus. 78 By doing so, you may turn down the heat when your brain is working overtime.
Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 79 Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished.
80 At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.”
So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back?
A.Allow space in your day for doing nothing.
B.So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn?
C.Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes.
D.Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea.
E.Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait?
F.They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer.
G.This practice enables you to slow down and manage emotions.
【答案】76.F 77.E 78.G 79.C 80.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以伦敦国王学院2024年的一项注意力研究为切入点,指出英国49%的公众正受“爆米花大脑”(注意力分散、思绪飘忽的精神状态)困扰,随后心理学家蒂娜·丘蒙针对该问题提出了思维导图法、思绪回归训练、减少科技使用、留白独处等四条实用解决建议。

(然后可以给五分钟的屏幕使用时间作为奖励。)”说明后续的奖励机制。C项“相反,完全不使用屏幕25到30分钟。”通过“instead”承接上文“完全脱离不现实”,给出切实可行的替代方案——短时间不使用屏幕,“25到30分钟”与下文“五分钟奖励”形成时长搭配,构成“限制并奖励”的有效模式,逻辑清晰。故选C。
80.下文“At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. (一开始,你可能会感到无聊,因为“爆米花大脑”喜欢一直“忙忙碌碌”才觉得安全。蒂娜建议:“不带音乐散步,或者只是盯着窗外。”“安静地坐着,观察自己的思绪。让你的大脑呼吸。”)”具体描述了“什么都不做”的放松方式及其意义。A项“在一天中留出时间什么都不做。”作为该段主题句,精准概括下文内容,“留出时间什么都不做”与下文“不带音乐散步”“安静坐着”等具体做法相呼应,符合段落主旨。故选A。
Passage 17
(2026·名校协作体·一模)
Spark Your Creativity With a Nap
Many famous creative thinkers like Thomas Edison and Salvador Dali were known to take regular daytime naps. Recent scientific studies suggest this wasn’t just coincidence — there appears to be a real connection between brief naps and enhanced creativity. Researchers have discovered that a specific sleep stage called non-rapid-eye-movement (the N1 state), which occurs just as we begin to fall asleep, may be particularly important for generating innovative ideas.
A study conducted at the Paris Brain Institute provides strong evidence for this connection. 81 . After a 20-minute rest period where some participants napped, those who reached the N1 sleep state were nearly three times more likely to solve challenging math problems compared to those who stayed awake.
82 . The famous chemist August Kekulé reportedly discovered the ring structure of benzene (苯) after visualizing a snake biting its own tail during this half-awake state. Similarly, many artists and inventors throughout history have credited their nap-time visions with breakthrough ideas.
Scientists call this process “targeted dream incubation (孵化).” 83 . When people focus on a specific problem as they begin to nap, their brains continue working on it during this special sleep stage, often making unexpected connections that lead to creative solutions.
You can try this creative napping technique yourself: Before napping, take a few moments to write down an issue or creative challenge facing you. 84 Then, when the timer goes off, stand up, grab the note and pen, and write down whatever jumps into your mind.
85 . Just like any skill, learning to harness the creative power of naps takes practice. Researchers suggest trying this method several times before expecting significant results.
A.Set an alarm for 15-20 minutes to avoid sleeping too deeply.
B.Some people believe longer naps are always more beneficial.
C.The brain remains partially active during this early sleep phase.
D.Regular practice can improve your ability to generate creative solutions.
E.Participants were given difficult math problems they couldn’t initially solve.
F.Historical records show many scientific discoveries came from such moments.
G.It involves consciously thinking about a certain challenge before you fall asleep.
【答案】81.E 82.F 83.G 84.A 85.D

Passage 18
(2026·江浙皖共同体·一模)
How to productively learn from the past
The past is a treasure chest filled with learning opportunities for our present and future. 86 Here are seven ways to open up that dirty, unassuming, beat-up old chest to find and use the treasure inside.
Reflect on it. In order to gain value and insight from the past, reflection is a necessary first step. The past opens its insight to us when we stop and look back at what has already occurred. 87 Your entire past, your actions, results, and feelings are all available if you choose to tap into them.
Study it. Studying the past starts to feel like a history course. 88 Rather, it is to place yourself in the narrative (叙述) to understand what was happening and what you can learn from it. Studying in this way makes both the specifics and the context valuable. You also build a mental file of tools and approaches to make better, wiser, more informed decisions.
Replay it. Replaying a situation is different from just reflecting on it. 89 Reimagine it, but with the knowledge and perspective that you now have after the fact. Use this insight education to think through what you might do differently or better in the next similar situation. This is like pre-creating positive future moments!
90 There are some things in your past that you regret, feel guilty about, or wish you would have done differently. The fact is, however badly you feel, however desperately wish you could change it, it’s in the past. The page has turned. This may mean you have to forgive others or yourself. Let go of pain or guilt and keep the learning.
A.Make use of it.
B.Release yourself from it.
C.But only if we look inside.
D.Try walking back through the situation.
E.The treasure is there, but you must look for it.
F.Reflection knows no time period and no limitations.
G.Your goal isn’t to pass a test or hold a bunch of dates in your head.
【答案】86.C 87.F 88.G 89.D 90.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何有效地从过去学习。
86.前文提到“The past is a treasure chest filled with learning opportunities for our present and future.(过去是一个装满我们当下和未来学习机会的百宝箱)”,强调过去有宝藏,后文说“Here are seven ways to open up that dirty, unassuming, beat-up old chest to find and use the treasure inside.(这里有七种方法可以打开那个又脏又不起眼、破旧不堪的百宝箱,找到并利用里面的宝藏)”,C选项“But only if we look inside.(但前提是我们要向内看)”说明我们要看看百宝箱里面,引出后文打开百宝箱,因此符合语境,故选C。
87.前文指出“In order to gain value and insight from the past, reflection is a necessary first step.(为了从过去中获得价值和洞察力,反思是必要的第一步)”,F选项“Reflection knows no time period and no limitations.(反思没有时间期限,也没有限制)”进一步阐述了反思的特点,说明反思不受时间和限制的约束,是对前文关于反思必要性的补充说明,因此符合语境。故选F。
88.前文说“Studying the past starts to feel like a history course.(研究过去开始感觉像是一门历史课)”,强调研究过去像历史课,后文提到“Rather, it is to place yourself in the narrative (叙述) to understand what was happening and what you can learn from it.(相反,它是要把自己置于叙述之中,以了解正在发生的事情以及你能从中学习到什么)”,转折说明研究过去不是为了通过考试或记住日期,而是要理解并从中学习,G选项“Your goal isn’t to pass a test or hold a bunch of dates in your head.(你的目标不是通过考试或在脑子里记住一堆日期)”符合语境,起到了转折和进一步解释研究过去目的的作用。故选G。
89.前文提到“Replaying a situation is different from just reflecting on it.(重放一种情境与仅仅反思它不同)”,说明重放情境与反思不同,后文说“Reimagine it, but with the knowledge and perspective that you now have after the fact.(重新想象它,但要运用事后你现在所拥有的知识和视角)”,指出要重新想象并运用现在的知识和视角,D选项“Try walking back through the situation.(尝试回顾当时的情境)”起到了引出后文如何重放情境(即回顾情境并重新想象)的作用,因此符合语境。故选D。
90.后文提到“There are some things in your past that you regret, feel guilty about, or wish you would have done differently. The fact is, however badly you feel, however desperately wish you could change it, it’s in the past. The page has turned.(过去有一些事情让你后悔,感到内疚,或者希望你能做得不同。事实是,无论你感觉多么糟糕,无论你多么迫切地希望能改变它,它都是过去的事了。这一页已经翻过了)”,说明要放下过去,B选项“Release yourself from it.(从过去中解脱自己)”与后文提到的要放下过去中后悔、内疚的事情相呼应,说明要从这些负面情绪中解脱出来。故选B。
Passage 19
(2026·七校联盟·一模)
Many of us have, at times, failed to pursue a goal. We want to get in shape and join a gym, but we soon stop going and end up spending our evenings on the couch instead. 91 Such goal-pursuit failure is so common — we make New Year’s resolutions, only to admit defeat just a few weeks into the new year.
92 I found in my own research that people believe time to be a crucial ingredient in pursuing the most frequently pursued goals, such as working out, or learning a language or instrument. The feeling that we don’t have enough hours has become such an integral part of our lives that we almost take it for granted to never feel like we have enough time.
New research, however, shows a simple trick that allows us to get back some control and bounce back from goal-pursuit failure. 93 This simple shift in language allows us to feel like how we dealt with our lack of time was a choice, and that we can change our approach in the future and regain motivation.
In a study with 300 online participants, Luis Abreu discovered those instructed to speak about a goal-pursuit failure in terms of not having made the time were more motivated to get back on track with their goal. 94 This interesting effect occurs because people feel more in control of their time when they talk about making the time, or even not making the time.
How we speak can have a powerful effect not only on others, but even on ourselves. When we fail at something, it’s up to us to tell ourselves a story about what happened, and how we can do better in the future. 95 We can thereby find the motivation to make time to pursue our important goals.
A.Learning to manage our time effectively is the key to pursuing goals.
B.One way to help is to talk about time in a way that makes us its active managers.
C.This benefit was even sustained, as people reported stronger resolve a week later.
D.Hence, we must learn to prioritize our goals more effectively over other activities.
E.One of the most common reasons behind our failure to attain goals is lack of time.
F.Or we buy ingredients to cook better food, only to go back to our take-out habits soon.
G.Instead of saying that we didn’t have the time, we can say that we didn’t make the time.
【答案】91.F 92.E 93.G 94.C 95.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过改变语言方式,从追求目标失败中恢复过来,并重新获得动力。

Passage 20
(2026·金丽衢·一模)
You don’t have to quit sugar, go vegan or run a marathon to see real change in your health and well-being. 96 Little actions, done consistently, are what create lasting change, says Wendy Wood, PhD, psychologist and author of Good Habits, Bad Habits.
The secret? It’s not willpower. It’s not even goals. “The best way to turn a small change into a powerful habit is not to focus on your motivation, the reasons why you want to do it or your long-term goals,” she says. Wait? 97 Aren’t goals supposed to fuel us?
“That is what everyone thinks. However, research has shown that making small alterations to the environment, the context in which you perform the behavior, is far more powerful. Goals aren’t bad; they certainly have a purpose, but ‘motivation’ only lasts for so long,” she says. “ 98 ”
For example, do you think your goal of getting back into the same size jeans you wore in high school will inspire you to hit the gym every day? Nope. What will? “Choose a gym that’s close to your house, ideally less than 5 miles. 99 ” Wood says. “Even better if you are doing an activity you really enjoy or meeting a good friend there.”
100 Better sleep, stronger muscles, calmer moods and a sharper mind. To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed micro-habits. They can transform your physical, emotional and mental health. No guilt, no overwhelm and no special requirement.
A.Habits need to be easy and enjoyable to stick.
B.Instead, science supports a “go small” approach.
C.The small changes will benefit a lot when taking root.
D.The powerful habit isn’t the key to gaining physical health.
E.Big lifestyle changes are necessary for health improvement.
F.Isn’t motivation the whole point of New Year’s resolutions?
G.That was the strongest predictor of gym attendance in our research.
【答案】96.B 97.F 98.A 99.G 100.C

Leisure Focus: Scrapbooking
The dictionary defines a scrapbook as “an empty book for collecting and preserving photographs, newspaper articles, and other papers.” 106 To learn more about it, we talked with Diane Lucas of Scrapsforever.com.
What is scrapbooking, exactly?
When I make a scrapbook page, I take a few of my family photos and put them into a “layout”—a page that uses fancy paper, stickers, drawings, and words to show the theme. When you make a scrapbook, you put words and pictures together to show the important times in your life. 107
How did you get started?
When I was a child, I loved looking at and remembering things like movie tickets and vacation postcards. 108 When I looked through his desk, I found the most wonderful things—like my parents’ anniversary cards, and photos from his Army days. I couldn’t throw away anything, so I made two scrapbooks, for my brother and me.
109
Oh, yes! We call ourselves “scrappers,” and we love to have big parties where we work on our scrapbooks. We bring our scissors and papers and our boxes of photos. It’s a time for enjoyment, when friends show pictures and tell stories about our families, and our lives. At the same time, we create a book to keep those memories.
Why is scrapbooking so popular these days?
110 When you make a scrapbook, you can pass the stories to your children and your grandchildren. In the U.S. alone there are 2,500 stores that sell paper and other supplies for scrapbooking. You can find scrapbooking websites from other countries. We all have boxes of pictures, and we all want to keep those precious memories. That’s the real meaning of scrapbooking: sharing your family and your story.
A.It’s like a personal history.
B.Do you know other people who make scrapbooks?
C.Do you enjoy creating with others at social gatherings?
D.However, it can be a rather expensive hobby to maintain.
E.Today, scrapbooking is also a verb and a popular new hobby.
F.I made my first scrapbook ten years ago, when my father died.
G.People want to preserve their family history, and display it to other people.

Passage 23
(2026·七彩阳光·一模)
Are you feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks and not enough time? 111 After extensive research and trial of various techniques, I’ve pulled together a series of strategies that will help you take control of your days.
Know how you spend your time. Keeping track of your time is crucial for effective management. 112 Surprisingly, even minor activities can become significant time consumers when added up. Conducting a simple time audit (审计) helps you find these hidden black holes in your schedule, which might be taking precious moments away from more critical tasks. You need to write down what you’re doing at regular intervals (间隙) in the day for about a week or two.
113 Determining what tasks are most important and need to be done first ensures that your time and energy are focused on the right things. 114 Once you have a clear vision of what you’re aiming for, it becomes easier to determine which tasks fit with those goals. It’s also important to consider deadlines and the impact each task will have on your overall productivity to make sure that you’re spending your precious time on tasks that truly matter and will bring you closer to reaching your objectives.
Use a planning tool. 115 By using a task manager or planner, you can easily track your goals, set deadlines, and break down tasks into smaller steps. This allows you to create a clear roadmap for what needs to be accomplished and helps prevent overwhelm. As a result, you can confidently manage your time and achieve greater productivity in both your personal and professional life.
Give it a shot and prepare yourself for an exciting journey toward better productivity and less stress!
A.Set priorities.
B.I’ve been there.
C.Schedule appropriately.
D.Start by identifying your goals and objectives.
E.It helps you stay organized and prioritize tasks.

According to the Global E-waste Statistics Partnership (GESP), a record 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste was produced globally in 2019, increasing 21% in just five years. By 2050, the volume of e-waste could top 120 million tonnes annually. 116
The improper disposal of it poses serious threats to the environment and human health because of the presence of harmful materials such as lead and mercury. 117 It is due to their rapidly developing bodies, including their respiratory (呼吸的), immune and central nervous systems.
Luckily, many countries are turning to tackle the e-waste challenges. They commit to specializing in refurbishing (翻新) electronics, making them available to consumers at a lower cost. 118 By doing so, valuable materials such as gold, silver, and copper can be extracted from electronic devices, reducing the need for mining new resources.
Meanwhile, individuals can also contribute to e-waste disposal by being mindful of their electronic consumption. 119 Support electronic manufacturers committed to green technologies aiming for a sustainable cycle of production. Additionally, to ensure the safe and secure disposal of all sensitive information, prioritizing data security in e-waste disposal is necessary.
120 Do remember to reduce the environmental impacts of electronic products and share a greener and more sustainable future.
A.It is every small action that counts.
B.Prevention and management are needed.
C.Recycling efforts have also become a key component.
D.This includes buying quality products that last longer.
