句间逻辑关系5个 35-36-37-38-39句间逻辑关系
考点1个人成长类
【新动向】(2026 北京市东城区 期末)We use our imagination in many ways. Novelists rely on it to dream up plots, characters and scenes. Artists use it to produce new works. ____35____ For adults, however, one of the most common uses of imagination is counterfactual thinking.
Do you often find yourself lost in deep thoughts about what could have been? Imagining alternatives, different outcomes and reflecting on your choices? If so, then you’ve engaged in the cognitive process called counterfactual thinking, a psychological exercise that enables us to imagine “what if” situations and explore how different choices or circumstances might lead to different results. ____36____ Following it, we can see how things would have been if something else had been changed.
Counterfactual thinking can be a powerful tool for behavior regulation. For example, Sam applied for a job but wasn’t given an opportunity. In this case, he thought “If I had prepared more thoroughly, could I have impressed the interviewer enough for him to hire me?” Sam might understand some of the factors that contributed to his job application outcome and do better next time. ____37____ By imagining alternative scenarios (场景) and reflecting on our actions, we can identify mistakes, learn from them, and adjust our behavior for the future.
____38____ When taken to extremes, counterfactual thinking can lead to endless regret. We’ve all been there—lying awake at night, replaying embarrassing moments or missed opportunities, torturing ourselves with “what ifs”. This kind of excessive counterfactual thinking can be a typical feature of overthinking, and it can have serious negative impacts on our mental health and well-being. ____39____ This way, we can use it constructively without falling into an unproductive thought cycle.
A. It is like rewriting history mentally.
B. Considering the “what if” question clearly offers benefits.
C. Yet letting your imagination run wild isn’t always productive.
D. Children entertain themselves by creating fantastical worlds in their minds.
E. However, it can sometimes lead us to get lost in our counterfactual thinking.
F. The process of thinking will make us think about problems and improve creativity.
G. We should find a balance between learning from the past and accepting what cannot be undone.
关注社会科学研究中有关思维和能力的发展,挖掘其原理和根源是北京高考英语考查的重点。通过分析其中的原理,抽丝剥茧,从而形成较强逻辑的分析,成为命题的焦点。高考命题关注思维发展,不仅考查考生的思维能力,还分析其中蕴含的道理。高考很可能以多种角度命制相关试题,所以强力推荐有关社会科学研究的七选五。
考点2 社会认知类
【新动向】(2026 北京市西城区 期末)Everyone wants to live in a good neighborhood. And for a good reason: External conditions matter to our health and well-being. ____35____ If the human mind is likened to a society, then the mindset — those beliefs, processes, cognitive (认知的) resources and habits that are readily accessible and familiar — represents the internal neighborhood.
Just as the external environment affects health, so does the internal environment. Research shows that crime in your neighborhood can impact health, even if you’re not directly impacted by the violence. ____36____ A chaotic or violent mindset may also have similar effects to those of a low-quality external neighborhood.
____37____ Just knowing that there is a nice park, a good restaurant, or a friendly neighbor in my neighborhood adds to my quality of life, even if I don’t use these resources that often. The same goes for the mental neighborhood. For example, merely recognizing my creative impulse as an important aspect of my internal makeup — acknowledging and valuing it — will improve my sense of well-being even when I am not actively involved in creative activity.
Community exercises much of its effect through physical and behavioral engagement: You go places and do things.____38____ If you spend time at the local coffee house, you’re engaged in your community. If you spend time regularly practicing, say, an attitude of gratitude — an awareness of the good, fortunate things in your life — then your mental neighborhood includes a gratitude component.
Finding, moving into, and nurturing our connections to a high-quality neighborhood takes much effort, yet the health-related payoff is high. The same goes for the mental neighborhood. ____39____ Then you can bring these mind elements to the forefront of your consciousness through mental engagement and practice.
A. At the same time, internal conditions matter too.
B. Neighborhoods affect health through multiple paths of influence.
C. Possible effects include increases in blood pressure and anxiety.
D. Both structural and social aspects of a neighborhood can affect your well-being.
E. Likewise, the mental neighborhood is built on cognitive and emotional engagement.
F. Try to identify your healthy cognitive processes, core values, and constructive beliefs.
G. Moreover, a high-quality neighborhood affects your health even if you don’t use its offerings.
认识社会,明晰社会与个人的关系,是高考对学生未来发展的主要关注方向。社会认知类体裁七选五,包括辩证思维、行为分析、社会与个人的关系分析,也会是高考命题的方向。高考很可能以多种角度命制相关试题,所以强力推荐有关社会认知类的七选五,引导考生关注社会和个人发展的关系,体会其中蕴含的向上力量,积极生活。
考点3 实用建议类
【新动向】(2026 北京市石景山区 期末)Many students have started to use AI-powered chatbots as study helpers. They ask the tool to explain grammar points, generate example sentences or even solve math problems. Some simply copy and paste the answers into their homework without even reading them carefully. ____35____
So learning how to use AI wisely has become a new study skill. ____36____ When you see it as a thinking partner, you are more likely to stay active in the learning process instead of becoming lazy. ____37____ Vague (含糊的) requests like “teach me chemistry” or “explain this whole unit” are hard for any tool to answer well. Start by telling the tool which subject you’re working on and what kind of help you want, such as explanation, practice or revision. That way, the AI knows what to focus on and can give more helpful replies. Next, do not believe every answer you see on the screen. ____38____ When you receive an answer, compare it with your textbook, class notes or reliable websites, and mark the parts you are unsure about. When you do this regularly, you gradually train yourself to judge information instead of copying it blindly.
AI can also support active practice, not just passive explanation. ____39____ Choose one and you can ask it to be your debate opponent, an examiner for a speaking test or a “picky” editor for your writing. In this way, you turn a quiet screen into an interactive learning partner.
A. The first step is to be clear about what you need.
B. Some students even share their personal data with AI tools.
C. Many tools can respond in real time and adjust to your level.
D. Instead of letting it write full essays for you, treat it as a learning partner.
E. Because of this habit, their own thinking skills become weaker over time.
F. Just like a human instructor, AI can make mistakes or misunderstand the question.
G. Used in this way, AI multiplies the learning value of every minute you spend online.
关注人们的生活,尤其是青少年的学习生活,传播实用的方法和策略,一直是高考关注的热点。高考很可能以多种角度命制相关试题,所以强力推荐有关实用生活类的七选五。引导考生关注生活,关注学习,智慧生活。
Passage1
【新动向】(2026 北京市朝阳区 期末)For most of us, frisson, an intense emotional pleasure accompanied by tears and goosebumps(鸡皮疙瘩), is something that happens unexpectedly and rarely. But what if there was a way you could experience this feeling more? The answer may lie in the art of ”slow looking“.
Slow looking is the act of observing an artwork for an extended period of time. That could be an uninterrupted five minutes, an hour, or even an entire day. ____35____
However, slow looking extends beyond a gallery setting. It’s similar to meditation (冥想), but it’s not limited to keeping us focused on the breath and closed eyes. ____36____ In many ways, it is the art of simply noticing, without distractions, and without giving in to the urge to make it a “productive” activity.
So how to try slow looking? It might take some time to get used to. ____37____. Whether it’s observing a work of art, gardening, staring out the window during your next train journey, birdwatching, or pausing during a woodland walk to observe the plant life around you, there are countless ways to slow look every day.
____38____ When we slow down, the “rest and digest” mode of our nervous system rises up. This relaxation of mind creates space for new thoughts and feelings to surface. This is when we might start to notice small things in our environment. ____39____ We simply notice. We become the witness, causing a small yet profound shift that supports reduced anxiety, and improved overall well-being.
A. Slow looking offers valuable mental benefits.
B. But it’s something we could start adding to our daily life.
C. Certain kinds of art may be better suited for slow looking than others.
D. Experts recommend going to an art exhibition when there are fewer people.
E. It is based on the idea that to understand an artwork, you need to spend time with it.
F. Instead, it takes us out into the sensory world in which light shifts and wind whispers.
G. For example, leaves dancing in the wind and the wing beats of a bird passing overhead reveal themselves.
Passage2
【新考向】(2026·北京市丰台区·期末)We now know a good amount about the mechanisms of dreaming. However, we have little insight into its function. Some argue that we don’t need to understand what dreams are for. ____35____
Recently, this idea has been challenged by a new idea, which seeks to apply the lessons of “deep learning” — a type of machine processing that uses artificial neural networks to learn from data — to the study of dreaming. From a deep learning perspective, learning is about fine-tuning a huge, layered network of connections based on a limited set of example data. The hope is that the performance generalises beyond the training data set to new unseen data sets. ____36____ Networks can get so fine-tuned to the specifics of the data set they are trained on that they fail to generalize to new ones. This is called overfitting, and it is a ubiquitous problem in deep learning.
____37____ Animals’ days are statistically pretty self-similar. Their “training set” is limited and biased. Yet an animal needs to generalize from the limited things it has seen and done to survive.
This is the “overfitted brain hypothesis” (OBH): that animals are constantly in danger of fitting themselves too well to their daily lives and tasks. ____38____ Dreams are “noise injections (注入)” that serve the purpose of counteracting the overfitting associated with learning.
____39____ According to the OBH, dreams are exactly this: self-generated corrupted inputs. And the act of dreaming has the effect of improving generalization and performance in waking life. The OBH hypothesis is — as yet — untested but is one of the few that takes dreams seriously, rather than as an unexplained by-product of other processes.
A. Perhaps they are just a by-product of sleep.
B. This fine-tuning process is highly efficient and specialized.
C. Dreams could be a way to beat back the tide of daily overfitting.
D. This is good reason to think the brain faces an identical challenge.
E. Thus, the brain strengthens the most important memories from the day.
F. But it doesn’t always work because training data sets are often naturally biased.
G. You can’t inject randomization on an awake brain but you can do it when it is offline.
Passage3
【新语境】(2026 北京市海淀区 期末)We are faced with increasing pressure to make sensible decisions about every aspect of our lives — from choosing the healthiest breakfast option to finding a school or university to attend. Make the correct choice and you can give yourself a pat on the back. ____35____
Psychologists have found that people’s approaches to decision-making tend to fit into one of two categories. You are either a maximiser — a person who strives to make a choice that will give them the maximum benefit later on — or a satisfier, whose choices are determined by more modest criteria and nothing more.
Given that maximisers task themselves with making the most informed, intelligent decisions, we might expect that the outcome of their approach would be superior. This assumption, however, has been contradicted by numerous studies. Studies have found that maximisers are often less effective in a decision-making environment. They tend to exhaust all options in search of the perfect choice.____36____ Setting unachievable goals may itself get in the way of making good decisions.
____37____ The abundance of alternatives can overwhelm even the most diligent decision-makers. In The Paradox of Choice, U.S. psychologist Barry Schwartz looked at the proliferation (激增) of choices that are available to us in our everyday lives. He found that an increased range of options does not necessarily lead to higher satisfaction with the outcome of a decision.____38____
Maximisers tend to experience a sense of “buyer’s regret” following a decision, doubting whether it was correct, and imagining how life would have been had they chosen a different path.____39____ While a maximising approach might seem an optimal approach to decision-making, our energy may be better spent satisficing and appreciating what we have, rather than what we might have had.
A. Make a bad decision and you can be left with feelings of regret.
B. We are often overwhelmed by the abundance of choices we face.
C. A satisficer is usually much more efficient and mentally less burdened.
D. This problem is especially pronounced in a world where options seem endless.
E. By contrast, a satisficer accepts his choice as good enough, even if it’s not the best.
F. In other words, maximisers struggle to stop searching despite a good enough option.
G. If anything, choice may in fact limit our ability to enjoy and appreciate what we have.
Passage 4
【新语境】(2026 北京市顺义牛栏山一中 9月月考)Eating meat is not a crime against the planet — if it’s done right.
I have huge admiration for George Monbiot, a well-known columnist. His work has highlighted the urgent need to reduce our CO2 emissions and switch to greener energy. He has also shown intensive farming’s (密集耕种) role in the dramatic levels of species decline and biodiversity loss. Much of what he writes is in line with my stand. ____35____
It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are polluting our land and waterways. ____36____ We need to change the way we eat and produce food, and fast.
____37____ But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world’s most damaging farm products.” He criticizes “chefs and foodies” like me for focusing on regenerative grazing — farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function. His alternative vision includes a revolution in creating food in labs from microbes and water.
Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming. ____38____ Methods that regenerative farmers propose have shown how non-intensive livestock, when managed well, can increase topsoil more than previously thought, which can then build up biomass (carbon) and keep precious rainwater. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, small-scale farmers currently produce about a third of our food.
____39____ These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players. In our race to look for better systems of food production, we cannot afford to ignore the risks.
A. Thus far Monbiot and I agree.
B. Monbiot’s enthusiasm for creating food in labs worries me.
C. That is because I believe in the potential of food to be a force for good.
D. Regenerative farming has produced untested food through small-scale farms.
E. The health impact of processed foods gets very little attention from the government.
F. In consequence, they have heated up our planet and contributed to a crisis in human health.
G. However, regarding the solutions needed to change our farming and food systems, we have different views.
Passage5
【新动向】(2026 北京市房山区 期末)As the world changes in the digital age, so does the role of our public libraries ____35____ They are transforming into community hubs that foster learning, creativity, and social interaction. Read below to learn more about this fascinating evolution.
Libraries are increasingly serving as community hubs, offering spaces for locals to gather, learn, and connect. They host a wide range of activities, such as coding workshops, book clubs, resume writing classes, and even yoga sessions. ____36____
In today’s digital era, libraries are reinventing themselves as digital resource centers. ____37____ These resources are especially crucial for those who cannot afford personal subscriptions and need reliable sources of information for research, work, or personal learning.
____38____ These areas are equipped with tools and equipment, such as 3D printers, sewing machines, and woodworking tools. These spaces provide the community with opportunities to learn new skills, collaborate on projects, and bring their creative ideas to life.
Libraries are also emerging as preservers of local culture and history. They collect and digitize local artifacts, photographs, and oral histories, making these resources accessible to the public. This role emphasizes the library’s importance in preserving a community’s cultural heritage.
In the digital age, libraries play a crucial role in promoting digital literacy ____39____ By doing so, libraries empower individuals to participate fully in today’s digital society.
By embracing digital transformation and expanding their services, libraries are proving that they are more relevant than ever in today’s rapidly changing world. It is an exciting time to rediscover and rethink the role of libraries in our society.
A. The concept of libraries as makerspaces is a recent trend.
B. Some libraries have digital collections on specific topics.
C. Libraries continually serve as quiet spaces for students, and remote workers.
D. These activities help foster a sense of community and belonging among them.
E. They provide training on using digital tools and finding reliable information online.
F. They offer free access to e-books, digital magazines and subscription-based online databases.
G. The rise of e-books and online resources means libraries are no longer just homes for books.
Passage6
【新语境】(2026 北京十一学校 9月月考)Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment. ____35____ Also, media organizations have told educators that they value students’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills and their sense of ethics.
However, reasons for studying ethics go beyond what potential employers desire. Proper behavior is necessary for growth and order. If one objective of an education is to promote the growth and development of the individual, then the place to start is with personal behavior. Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large. ____36____ Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made — seat belts, for example — so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient. Without the “rules” of the road, travel becomes chaotic. Order is necessary. ____37____ It sets rules for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives.
____38____ Not every problem is an ethical one, and even when an ethical problem does present itself, people sometimes make the wrong ethical decision, or they make the right ethical decision and it result in unforeseen negative consequences. Nevertheless, people must realize that without a large number of individuals “doing the right thing”, society would not be doing much at all except fighting for survival and trying to figure out an increasingly chaotic world. Things are bad enough with ethics. ____39____
A. Ethics, however, is not a magic cure-all.
B. Ethical behavior could play the same role.
C. Think how bad they might be without them.
D. Ethics promotes not only a better individual but also a better society.
E. Think, for example, of the order required to move traffic on roads and highways.
F. The other study noted that 44% of the responding schools required students to complete an ethics course.
G. In conclusion, ethics helps resolve moral problems by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong.
Passage7
【新动向】(2026 北京市昌平区 期末)Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
___35___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___36___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___37___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___38___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___39___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view.
C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.

G. We should find a balance between learning from the past and accepting what cannot be undone.
【答案】35. D 36. A 37. B 38. C 39. G
【解析】本文是说明文。主要解释“反事实思维”这一心理现象。
35. 根据前文“We use our imagination in many ways. Novelists rely on it to dream up plots, characters and scenes. Artists use it to produce new works.(我们在很多方面运用我们的想象力。小说家依靠它来构思情节、人物和场景。艺术家们用它来创作新作品)”可知,此处作者在举例人们在哪些方面运用我们的想象力,所以D项“Children entertain themselves by creating fantastical worlds in their minds.(孩子们通过在脑海中创造幻想世界来娱乐自己)”符合此处主题,为孩子们如何运用想象力,并和后文“For adults, however, one of the most common uses of imagination is counterfactual thinking.(然而,对于成年人来说,想象力最常见的用途之一是反事实思维)”形成对比。故选D项。
36. 根据前文“Do you often find yourself lost in deep thoughts about what could have been? Imagining alternatives, different outcomes and reflecting on your choices? If so, then you’ve engaged in the cognitive process called counterfactual thinking, a psychological exercise that enables us to imagine “what if” situations and explore how different choices or circumstances might lead to different results.(你是否常常会沉浸在关于“原本可能如何”的深沉思绪中?想象着不同的选择、各异的结果,反复思量自己曾做过的决定?如果是这样,那么你其实已经体验过一种被称为“反事实思维”的认知过程。这是一种心理活动,让我们得以构想“假如当时……”的情境,并推敲不同的选择或境遇会如何引向不同的结局)”可知,A项“It is like rewriting history mentally.(这就像是在精神上改写历史)”是对前文的简单总结,符合文意。故选A项。
37. 根据前文“Counterfactual thinking can be a powerful tool for behavior regulation. For example, Sam applied for a job but wasn’t given an opportunity. In this case, he thought “If I had prepared more thoroughly, could I have impressed the interviewer enough for him to hire me?” Sam might understand some of the factors that contributed to his job application outcome and do better next time.(反事实思维可以成为行为调节的有力工具。例如,山姆申请了一份工作,但没有得到机会。在这种情况下,他想:“如果我准备得更充分,我能给面试官留下深刻的印象,让他雇用我吗?”山姆可能会明白一些影响他求职结果的因素,下次会做得更好)”可知,本段在讲述反事实思维带来的好处,所以B项“Considering the “what if” question clearly offers benefits.(考虑“如果”的问题显然会带来好处)”符合本段主题,而后文“By imagining alternative scenarios and reflecting on our actions, we can identify mistakes, learn from them, and adjust our behavior for the future.(通过想象不同的场景并反思我们的行为,我们可以识别错误,从中吸取教训,并为未来调整我们的行为)”是对B项的解释。故选B项。
38. 设空位于段首,应是本段中心句,根据后文“When taken to extremes, counterfactual thinking can lead to endless regret. We’ve all been there—lying awake at night, replaying embarrassing moments or missed opportunities, torturing ourselves with “what ifs”. This kind of excessive counterfactual thinking can be a typical feature of overthinking, and it can have serious negative impacts on our mental health and well-being.(当走向极端时,反事实思维会导致无尽的遗憾。我们都有过这样的经历——晚上睡不着觉,回想那些尴尬的时刻或错失的机会,用“如果……会怎样”折磨自己。这种过度的反事实思维可能是过度思考的典型特征,它会对我们的心理健康和福祉产生严重的负面影响)”可知,本段主要讲述反事实思维的坏处,所以C项“Yet letting your imagination run wild isn’t always productive.(然而,让你的想象力自由发挥并不总是有成效的)”和前文构成转折,引出坏处主题,符合文意。故选C项。
39. 前文提到反事实思维的坏处,再根据后文“This way, we can use it constructively without falling into an unproductive thought cycle.(这样,我们就可以建设性地使用它,而不会陷入低效的思维循环)”可知,空处应是提出一个解决方法,所以G项“We should find a balance between learning from the past and accepting what cannot be undone.(我们应该在吸取过去的教训和接受无法挽回的事实之间找到平衡)”符合,提出对前文坏处的解决方案。故选G项。
关注社会科学研究中有关思维和能力的发展,挖掘其原理和根源是北京高考英语考查的重点。通过分析其中的原理,抽丝剥茧,从而形成较强逻辑的分析,成为命题的焦点。高考命题关注思维发展,不仅考查考生的思维能力,还分析其中蕴含的道理。高考很可能以多种角度命制相关试题,所以强力推荐有关社会科学研究的七选五。

And for a good reason: External conditions matter to our health and well-being. ____35____ If the human mind is likened to a society, then the mindset — those beliefs, processes, cognitive (认知的) resources and habits that are readily accessible and familiar — represents the internal neighborhood.
Just as the external environment affects health, so does the internal environment. Research shows that crime in your neighborhood can impact health, even if you’re not directly impacted by the violence. ____36____ A chaotic or violent mindset may also have similar effects to those of a low-quality external neighborhood.
____37____ Just knowing that there is a nice park, a good restaurant, or a friendly neighbor in my neighborhood adds to my quality of life, even if I don’t use these resources that often. The same goes for the mental neighborhood. For example, merely recognizing my creative impulse as an important aspect of my internal makeup — acknowledging and valuing it — will improve my sense of well-being even when I am not actively involved in creative activity.
Community exercises much of its effect through physical and behavioral engagement: You go places and do things.____38____ If you spend time at the local coffee house, you’re engaged in your community. If you spend time regularly practicing, say, an attitude of gratitude — an awareness of the good, fortunate things in your life — then your mental neighborhood includes a gratitude component.
Finding, moving into, and nurturing our connections to a high-quality neighborhood takes much effort, yet the health-related payoff is high. The same goes for the mental neighborhood. ____39____ Then you can bring these mind elements to the forefront of your consciousness through mental engagement and practice.
A. At the same time, internal conditions matter too.
B. Neighborhoods affect health through multiple paths of influence.
C. Possible effects include increases in blood pressure and anxiety.
D. Both structural and social aspects of a neighborhood can affect your well-being.
E. Likewise, the mental neighborhood is built on cognitive and emotional engagement.
F. Try to identify your healthy cognitive processes, core values, and constructive beliefs.
G. Moreover, a high-quality neighborhood affects your health even if you don’t use its offerings.
【答案】35. A 36. C 37. G 38. E 39. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了将心态比作人的内部社区,类比外部社区对健康的影响,指出内部心理环境同样关乎身心健康,并阐释其作用方式及打造优质心理社区的方法。
【35题详解】
上文“Everyone wants to live in a good neighborhood. And for a good reason: External conditions matter to our health and well-being. (每个人都想居住在一个优质的社区,这是有充分理由的:外部环境会影响我们的身心健康。)”仅提及外部环境对健康和幸福感的重要性;而下文“If the human mind is likened to a society, then the mindset — those beliefs, processes, cognitive(认知的)resources and habits that are readily accessible and familiar—represents the internal neighborhood.(倘若将人的心智比作一个社会,那么心态——那些信手拈来、早已熟悉的信念、思维过程、认知资源和行为习惯——就相当于我们的内部社区。)”将思维比作社会、心态定义为内部社区。选项A“At the same time, internal conditions matter too. (同时,内部条件也很重要。)”实现从“外部”到“内部”的逻辑过渡,衔接上下文。故选A。
【36题详解】
上文“Research shows that crime in your neighborhood can impact health, even if you’re not directly impacted by the violence. (研究表明,你所在社区发生的犯罪行为会对人们的健康产生影响,即便你本人并未直接受到暴力行为的侵害。)”指出社区犯罪会影响健康;选项C“Possible effects include increases in blood pressure and anxiety.(可能产生的影响包括血压升高和焦虑情绪加剧。)”具体说明该影响的表现(血压升高、焦虑加剧),承接前文的“impact health”,逻辑一致。故选C。
【37题详解】
空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Just knowing that there is a nice park, a good restaurant, or a friendly neighbor in my neighborhood adds to my quality of life, even if I don’t use these resources that often. The same goes for the mental neighborhood. For example, merely recognizing my creative impulse as an important aspect of my internal makeup—acknowledging and valuing it—will improve my sense of well-being even when I am not actively involved in creative activity.(哪怕只是知道自己的社区里有一座漂亮的公园、一家不错的餐厅,或是一位友善的邻居,我的生活质量也会因此提升,即便我并不常使用这些资源。心理社区亦是如此。比如,即便我并未积极开展创作活动,只要将自身的创作冲动视作内在特质的重要部分,认可并珍视它,我的幸福感便会有所提升。)”可知,下文以社区的公园、餐厅为例,说明即便不常使用社区资源,知晓其存在也能提升生活质量,又类比指出心理社区也有此特点。选项G“Moreover, a high-quality neighborhood affects your health even if you don’t use its offerings.(此外,即便你不曾享用优质社区的各类配套资源,它依然会对你的健康产生积极影响。)”是该观点的总起,精准概括后文核心内容。故选G。
【38题详解】
上文“Community exercises much of its effect through physical and behavioral engagement: You go places and do things. (社区对人的影响,很大程度上是通过身体参与和行为践行来实现的:你走进各个地方,参与各类事务。)”说明现实社区的影响通过身体和行为参与实现。选项E“Likewise, the mental neighborhood is built on cognitive and emotional engagement.(心理社区的构建亦是如此,它建立在认知投入与情感融入的基础之上。)”以“likewise”类比,指出心理社区建立在认知和情感参与之上,衔接前文的参与形式,逻辑连贯。故选E。
【39题详解】
下文“Then you can bring these mind elements to the forefront of your consciousness through mental engagement and practice. (而后通过心理层面的投入与刻意练习,让这些思维要素成为你意识的核心。)”提到通过心理参与和练习让这些思维要素成为意识核心。选项F“Try to identify your healthy cognitive processes, core values, and constructive beliefs. (你不妨先找到自身那些健康的认知过程、核心价值观与积极的信念。)”提出先找到健康的认知过程、核心价值观等思维要素,符合逻辑。故选F。

考点3 实用建议类
【新动向】(2026 北京市石景山区 期末)Many students have started to use AI-powered chatbots as study helpers. They ask the tool to explain grammar points, generate example sentences or even solve math problems. Some simply copy and paste the answers into their homework without even reading them carefully. ____35____
So learning how to use AI wisely has become a new study skill. ____36____ When you see it as a thinking partner, you are more likely to stay active in the learning process instead of becoming lazy. ____37____ Vague (含糊的) requests like “teach me chemistry” or “explain this whole unit” are hard for any tool to answer well. Start by telling the tool which subject you’re working on and what kind of help you want, such as explanation, practice or revision. That way, the AI knows what to focus on and can give more helpful replies. Next, do not believe every answer you see on the screen. ____38____ When you receive an answer, compare it with your textbook, class notes or reliable websites, and mark the parts you are unsure about. When you do this regularly, you gradually train yourself to judge information instead of copying it blindly.
AI can also support active practice, not just passive explanation. ____39____ Choose one and you can ask it to be your debate opponent, an examiner for a speaking test or a “picky” editor for your writing. In this way, you turn a quiet screen into an interactive learning partner.
A. The first step is to be clear about what you need.
B. Some students even share their personal data with AI tools.
C. Many tools can respond in real time and adjust to your level.
D. Instead of letting it write full essays for you, treat it as a learning partner.
E. Because of this habit, their own thinking skills become weaker over time.
F. Just like a human instructor, AI can make mistakes or misunderstand the question.
G. Used in this way, AI multiplies the learning value of every minute you spend online.
【答案】35. E 36. D 37. A 38. F 39. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出学生使用AI辅助学习时存在依赖弊端,强调应将其视为学习伙伴。建议明确需求、核实信息,并利用其进行主动练习,从而提升学习效果。
35. 根据上文“Some simply copy and paste the answers into their homework without even reading them carefully.(有些人只是将答案直接复制粘贴到作业中,甚至都不仔细阅读这些答案)”可知,前文提到“有些人只是将答案直接复制粘贴到作业中,甚至都不仔细阅读这些答案”,即这是一种不良习惯。E 选项“由于这种习惯,他们自身的思维能力会随着时间的推移而逐渐减弱”承接上文,说明了这种行为带来的后果(思维能力变弱),并自然引出下文关于“需要明智使用AI”的观点。故选E。
36. 根据后文“When you see it as a thinking partner, you are more likely to stay active in the learning process instead of becoming lazy.(当你将其视为一个能进行思考的伙伴时,你就更有可能在学习过程中保持积极主动,而不会变得懒散)”可知,下文提到“当你把它视为一个思考伙伴”。D选项“不要让它替你撰写完整的文章,而应将其视为一个学习伙伴”中出现了关键词“learning partner”,与下文形成呼应,提出了正确的使用态度。故选D。
37. 根据后文“Vague requests like “teach me chemistry” or “explain this whole unit” are hard for any tool to answer well.(含糊不清的请求,比如“教我化学”或者“解释整个单元的内容”,对于任何工具来说都很难给出恰当的回答)”可知,下文提到“含糊的请求…… 很难让工具回答好”。这说明本段的主题是关于如何提出清晰的指令。A 选项“第一步是要明确自己真正需要的是什么”概括了本段的核心建议。故选A。
38. 根据上文“Next, do not believe every answer you see on the screen.(接下来,不要轻信屏幕上出现的每一个答案)”可知,前文提到不要相信你在屏幕上看到的每一个答案。F选项“就像人类教师一样,人工智能也可能犯错或者误解问题”解释了原因——AI 也会犯错或误解问题,就像人类导师一样。这为下文建议的“核对答案”提供了依据。故选F。
39. 根据上文“AI can also support active practice, not just passive explanation.(人工智能还能够支持主动练习,而不仅仅是被动的讲解)”以及后文“Choose one and you can ask it to be your debate opponent, an examiner for a speaking test or a “picky” editor for your writing. In this way, you turn a quiet screen into an interactive learning partner.(选择一个角色,然后它就能成为你的辩论对手、口语测试的考官或者你写作的挑剔编辑。这样一来,原本安静的屏幕就变成了一个互动式的学习伙伴)”可知,前文提到AI 也可以支持主动练习,后文列举了辩论对手、考官、编辑等角色。C 选项“许多工具能够实时响应并根据你的水平进行调整”提到了AI工具的特性“实时响应并适应你的水平”,正是这些特性使得AI能够扮演这些互动角色。故选C。

Passage1
【新动向】(2026 北京市朝阳区 期末)For most of us, frisson, an intense emotional pleasure accompanied by tears and goosebumps(鸡皮疙瘩), is something that happens unexpectedly and rarely. But what if there was a way you could experience this feeling more? The answer may lie in the art of ”slow looking“.
Slow looking is the act of observing an artwork for an extended period of time. That could be an uninterrupted five minutes, an hour, or even an entire day. ____35____
However, slow looking extends beyond a gallery setting. It’s similar to meditation (冥想), but it’s not limited to keeping us focused on the breath and closed eyes. ____36____ In many ways, it is the art of simply noticing, without distractions, and without giving in to the urge to make it a “productive” activity.
So how to try slow looking? It might take some time to get used to. ____37____. Whether it’s observing a work of art, gardening, staring out the window during your next train journey, birdwatching, or pausing during a woodland walk to observe the plant life around you, there are countless ways to slow look every day.
____38____ When we slow down, the “rest and digest” mode of our nervous system rises up. This relaxation of mind creates space for new thoughts and feelings to surface. This is when we might start to notice small things in our environment. ____39____ We simply notice. We become the witness, causing a small yet profound shift that supports reduced anxiety, and improved overall well-being.
A. Slow looking offers valuable mental benefits.
B. But it’s something we could start adding to our daily life.
C. Certain kinds of art may be better suited for slow looking than others.
D. Experts recommend going to an art exhibition when there are fewer people.
E. It is based on the idea that to understand an artwork, you need to spend time with it.
F. Instead, it takes us out into the sensory world in which light shifts and wind whispers.
G. For example, leaves dancing in the wind and the wing beats of a bird passing overhead reveal themselves.
【答案】35. E 36. F 37. B 38. A 39. G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,围绕“慢观”这一方法可以让人更频繁地体验到强烈愉悦感展开,介绍了慢观的定义、适用场景、实践方法以及能带来的精神层面的益处。
35. 根据上文 “Slow looking is the act of observing an artwork for an extended period of time. That could be an uninterrupted five minutes, an hour, or even an entire day.(慢观是指对一件艺术品进行长时间的观察,时长可以是不间断的五分钟、一小时甚至一整天)” 可知,此空需要进一步阐释慢观的核心理念。E选项 “It is based on the idea that to understand an artwork, you need to spend time with it.(它基于这样一种理念:要理解一件艺术品,你需要花时间去品读它)” 中的“It”指代前文的“Slow looking”,承接慢观的定义,点明其背后的逻辑,符合语境。故选E项。
36. 根据上文 “However, slow looking extends beyond a gallery setting. It’s similar to meditation, but it’s not limited to keeping us focused on the breath and closed eyes.(然而,慢观的应用场景不止于画廊。它与冥想相似,但又不局限于专注呼吸和闭目静坐)” 可知,此空需要说明慢观与冥想的不同之处,引出慢观的特点。F选项 “Instead, it takes us out into the sensory world in which light shifts and wind whispers.(相反,它带我们走进感官的世界,去感受光影变幻、微风轻吟)” 中的“Instead”形成转折,承接前文“不局限于冥想的形式”,同时点明慢观是融入外界感官体验的方式,符合语境。故选F项。
37. 根据上文 “So how to try slow looking? It might take some time to get used to.(那么如何尝试慢观呢?这可能需要一些时间来适应)” 以及下文 “Whether it’s observing a work of art, gardening, staring out the window during your next train journey... there are countless ways to slow look every day.(无论是观赏艺术品、打理园艺,还是在下次火车旅途中凝望窗外……每天都有无数种慢观的方式)” 可知,此空需要起到过渡作用,表明慢观虽需适应,但可以融入日常生活。B选项 “But it’s something we could start adding to our daily life.(但这是一件我们可以开始融入日常生活的事) 中的“But”承接前文的“需要适应”,同时引出下文日常中的慢观方式,符合语境。故选B项。
38. 分析语篇可知,此处应为该段小标题,需概括下文内容。下文 “When we slow down, the “rest and digest” mode of our nervous system rises up. This relaxation of mind creates space for new thoughts and feelings to surface... supports reduced anxiety, and improved overall well-being.(当我们放慢节奏时,神经系统的“休息和消化”模式会被激活。这种精神上的放松为新的想法和感受的浮现创造了空间……有助于减轻焦虑,提升整体健康水平)” 可知,围绕慢观带来的精神益处展开。A选项 “Slow looking offers valuable mental benefits.(慢观能带来宝贵的精神益处)” 精准概括了本段核心内容,适合作小标题。故选A项。
39. 根据上文 “This is when we might start to notice small things in our environment.(就在这时,我们可能会开始留意到环境中的细微事物)” 可知,此空需要列举环境中可以被留意到的具体细微事物。G选项 “For example, leaves dancing in the wind and the wing beats of a bird passing overhead reveal themselves.(例如,风中摇曳的树叶、头顶掠过的鸟儿振翅的声响,都会慢慢清晰地呈现在感知中)” 是对前文“small things”的举例说明,符合语境。故选G项。
Passage2
【新考向】(2026·北京市丰台区·期末)We now know a good amount about the mechanisms of dreaming. However, we have little insight into its function. Some argue that we don’t need to understand what dreams are for. ____35____
Recently, this idea has been challenged by a new idea, which seeks to apply the lessons of “deep learning” — a type of machine processing that uses artificial neural networks to learn from data — to the study of dreaming. From a deep learning perspective, learning is about fine-tuning a huge, layered network of connections based on a limited set of example data. The hope is that the performance generalises beyond the training data set to new unseen data sets. ____36____ Networks can get so fine-tuned to the specifics of the data set they are trained on that they fail to generalize to new ones. This is called overfitting, and it is a ubiquitous problem in deep learning.
____37____ Animals’ days are statistically pretty self-similar. Their “training set” is limited and biased. Yet an animal needs to generalize from the limited things it has seen and done to survive.
This is the “overfitted brain hypothesis” (OBH): that animals are constantly in danger of fitting themselves too well to their daily lives and tasks. ____38____ Dreams are “noise injections (注入)” that serve the purpose of counteracting the overfitting associated with learning.
____39____ According to the OBH, dreams are exactly this: self-generated corrupted inputs. And the act of dreaming has the effect of improving generalization and performance in waking life. The OBH hypothesis is — as yet — untested but is one of the few that takes dreams seriously, rather than as an unexplained by-product of other processes.
A. Perhaps they are just a by-product of sleep.
B. This fine-tuning process is highly efficient and specialized.
C. Dreams could be a way to beat back the tide of daily overfitting.
D. This is good reason to think the brain faces an identical challenge.
E. Thus, the brain strengthens the most important memories from the day.
F. But it doesn’t always work because training data sets are often naturally biased.
G. You can’t inject randomization on an awake brain but you can do it when it is offline.
【答案】35. A 36. F 37. D 38. C 39. G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文结合深度学习中的过拟合问题,提出大脑过拟合假说,指出动物大脑易过度适应日常,而梦作为“噪声注入”,可抵消学习中的过拟合,提升清醒时的行为表现与适应能力。
35. 由上文“Some argue that we don’t need to understand what dreams are for.(一些人认为我们无需弄明白梦的作用。)”可知,空格处需承接该观点,给出梦可能的属性。A项“Perhaps they are just a by-product of sleep.(也许梦只是睡眠的一种副产品。)”符合语境,“they”指代前文的“dreams”,对“无需探究梦的作用”的观点进行补充说明,逻辑连贯。故选A项。
36. 由上文“The hope is that the performance generalises beyond the training data set to new unseen data sets.(我们希望模型的表现能够推广到训练数据集之外的新未知数据集。)”和下文“Networks can get so fine-tuned to the specifics of the data set they are trained on that they fail to generalize to new ones.(网络可能会过于适配训练数据集的细节,以至于无法推广到新数据集。)”可知,空格处需转折说明模型推广不总是能成功的原因。F项“But it doesn’t always work because training data sets are often naturally biased.(但这并非总能实现,因为训练数据集往往天生存在偏差。)”符合语境,“it”指代前文的“generalises beyond the training data set”,通过“but”转折引出下文的“过拟合”问题,承上启下。故选F项。
37. 由上文“This is called overfitting, and it is a ubiquitous problem in deep learning.(这被称为过拟合,是深度学习中普遍存在的问题。)”和下文“Animals’ days are statistically pretty self-similar. Their “training set” is limited and biased.(从统计学角度看,动物的日常活动高度相似,它们的“训练集”既有限又存在偏差。)”可知,空格处需搭建深度学习过拟合问题与动物生存的关联。D项“This is good reason to think the brain faces an identical challenge.(这是我们有理由认为大脑也面临着同样挑战的依据。)”符合语境,“This”指代前文的“过拟合问题”,“identical challenge”对应下文动物的“训练集”局限,逻辑清晰。故选D项。
38. 由上文“This is the “overfitted brain hypothesis” (OBH): that animals are constantly in danger of fitting themselves too well to their daily lives and tasks.(这就是“大脑过拟合假说”:动物总是面临过度适应日常生活和任务的风险。)”和下文“Dreams are “noise injections (注入)” that serve the purpose of counteracting the overfitting associated with learning.(梦是一种“噪声注入”,旨在抵消与学习相关的过拟合现象。)”可知,空格处需点明梦在应对大脑过拟合中的作用。C项“Dreams could be a way to beat back the tide of daily overfitting.(梦或许是抵御日常过拟合趋势的一种方式。)”符合语境,该句承接“大脑过拟合假说”,引出下文梦的“噪声注入”功能,逻辑连贯。故选C项。
39. 由上文“Dreams are “noise injections (注入)” that serve the purpose of counteracting the overfitting associated with learning.(梦是一种“噪声注入”,旨在抵消与学习相关的过拟合现象。)”和下文“According to the OBH, dreams are exactly this: self-generated corrupted inputs.(根据大脑过拟合假说,梦正是如此:自行生成的干扰性输入。)”可知,空格处需解释梦能够实现“噪声注入”的原因。G项“You can’t inject randomization on an awake brain but you can do it when it is offline.(你无法向清醒状态的大脑注入随机性,但可以在大脑处于休眠状态时实现。)”符合语境,“when it is offline”对应睡眠状态,“inject randomization”呼应前文的“噪声注入”,衔接自然。故选G项。
Passage3
【新语境】(2026 北京市海淀区 期末)We are faced with increasing pressure to make sensible decisions about every aspect of our lives — from choosing the healthiest breakfast option to finding a school or university to attend. Make the correct choice and you can give yourself a pat on the back. ____35____
Psychologists have found that people’s approaches to decision-making tend to fit into one of two categories. You are either a maximiser — a person who strives to make a choice that will give them the maximum benefit later on — or a satisfier, whose choices are determined by more modest criteria and nothing more.
Given that maximisers task themselves with making the most informed, intelligent decisions, we might expect that the outcome of their approach would be superior. This assumption, however, has been contradicted by numerous studies. Studies have found that maximisers are often less effective in a decision-making environment. They tend to exhaust all options in search of the perfect choice.____36____ Setting unachievable goals may itself get in the way of making good decisions.
____37____ The abundance of alternatives can overwhelm even the most diligent decision-makers. In The Paradox of Choice, U.S. psychologist Barry Schwartz looked at the proliferation (激增) of choices that are available to us in our everyday lives. He found that an increased range of options does not necessarily lead to higher satisfaction with the outcome of a decision.____38____
Maximisers tend to experience a sense of “buyer’s regret” following a decision, doubting whether it was correct, and imagining how life would have been had they chosen a different path.____39____ While a maximising approach might seem an optimal approach to decision-making, our energy may be better spent satisficing and appreciating what we have, rather than what we might have had.
A. Make a bad decision and you can be left with feelings of regret.
B. We are often overwhelmed by the abundance of choices we face.
C. A satisficer is usually much more efficient and mentally less burdened.
D. This problem is especially pronounced in a world where options seem endless.
E. By contrast, a satisficer accepts his choice as good enough, even if it’s not the best.
F. In other words, maximisers struggle to stop searching despite a good enough option.
G. If anything, choice may in fact limit our ability to enjoy and appreciate what we have.
【答案】35. A 36. F 37. D 38. G 39. E
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍做决定的两种类型,最大化者和满足者,指出前者易因追求完美陷入困境,后者更易获得满足。
35. 根据前文“Make the correct choice and you can give yourself a pat on the back. (做出正确的选择,你可以为自己感到自豪。)”可知,前文讲述了做出正确选择的结果,此空应承接上文讲述做出错误选择的相反结果,A选项“Make a bad decision and you can be left with feelings of regret. (做出糟糕的决定,你会留下后悔的感觉。)”与前文句式一致,形成正反对比,符合语境。故选A项。
36. 根据前文“They tend to exhaust all options in search of the perfect choice. (他们倾向于穷尽所有选择以寻找完美的答案。)”以及后文“Setting unachievable goals may itself get in the way of making good decisions. (设定无法实现的目标本身可能会阻碍做出正确的决定。)”可知,前文说明最大化者追求完美、穷尽选择的特点,此空应进一步解释这一特点,F选项“In other words, maximisers struggle to stop searching despite a good enough option. (换句话说,即使有足够好的选择,最大化者也难以停止寻找。)”是对前文内容的同义转述,且与后文的不良影响相衔接,符合语境。故选F项。
37. 根据前文“Setting unachievable goals may itself get in the way of making good decisions. (设定无法实现的目标本身可能会阻碍做出正确的决定。)”以及后文“The abundance of alternatives can overwhelm even the most diligent decision-makers. (大量的选择甚至会让最勤奋的决策者感到不知所措。)”可知,前文讲述了最大化者因追求完美出现的决策问题,此空应承接上文说明该问题的凸显场景,D选项“This problem is especially pronounced in a world where options seem endless. (这个问题在一个选择似乎无穷无尽的世界里尤为突出。)”中的This problem指代前文最大化者的决策问题,且衔接后文的大量选择相关内容,符合语境。故选D项。
38. 根据前文“He found that an increased range of options does not necessarily lead to higher satisfaction with the outcome of a decision. (他发现,选择范围的扩大并不一定能让人对决策结果更满意。)”可知,前文说明更多选择未必带来更高满意度,此空应承接上文进一步说明选择过多的负面影响,G选项“If anything, choice may in fact limit our ability to enjoy and appreciate what we have. (事实上,选择反而可能限制我们享受和珍惜所拥有事物的能力。)”是对前文研究发现的进一步阐释,符合语境。故选G项。
39. 根据前文“Maximisers tend to experience a sense of “buyer’s regret” following a decision, doubting whether it was correct, and imagining how life would have been had they chosen a different path. (最大化者在做出决定后往往会产生“买家懊悔”的感觉,怀疑决定是否正确,想象如果选择不同的道路生活会是怎样。)”可知,前文讲述了最大化者做决定后的心理状态,此空应通过对比讲述满足者的相反状态,E选项“By contrast, a satisficer accepts his choice as good enough, even if it’s not the best. (相比之下,满足者会接受自己的选择,认为它足够好,即使它不是最好的。)”中的By contrast体现对比关系,且与前文最大化者的心理形成鲜明对照,符合语境。故选E项。
Passage 4
【新语境】(2026 北京市顺义牛栏山一中 9月月考)Eating meat is not a crime against the planet — if it’s done right.
I have huge admiration for George Monbiot, a well-known columnist. His work has highlighted the urgent need to reduce our CO2 emissions and switch to greener energy. He has also shown intensive farming’s (密集耕种) role in the dramatic levels of species decline and biodiversity loss. Much of what he writes is in line with my stand. ____35____
It is undeniable that the farming revolution of the 1950s has started a war on nature. These intensive ways of producing food are polluting our land and waterways. ____36____ We need to change the way we eat and produce food, and fast.
____37____ But in a recent article, he wrote that organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb are the “world’s most damaging farm products.” He criticizes “chefs and foodies” like me for focusing on regenerative grazing — farming that aims to repair, rebuild, revitalize and restore ecosystem function. His alternative vision includes a revolution in creating food in labs from microbes and water.
Although not opposed to the idea of lab-grown food, I am much more for small-scale community-driven farming. ____38____ Methods that regenerative farmers propose have shown how non-intensive livestock, when managed well, can increase topsoil more than previously thought, which can then build up biomass (carbon) and keep precious rainwater. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, small-scale farmers currently produce about a third of our food.
____39____ These inventions in new food technology are heavily patented, pushing the future of our food supply further into the hands of an increasingly small and powerful collection of multinational food players. In our race to look for better systems of food production, we cannot afford to ignore the risks.
A. Thus far Monbiot and I agree.
B. Monbiot’s enthusiasm for creating food in labs worries me.
C. That is because I believe in the potential of food to be a force for good.
D. Regenerative farming has produced untested food through small-scale farms.
E. The health impact of processed foods gets very little attention from the government.
F. In consequence, they have heated up our planet and contributed to a crisis in human health.
G. However, regarding the solutions needed to change our farming and food systems, we have different views.
【答案】35. G 36. F 37. A 38. C 39. B

Passage6
【新语境】(2026 北京十一学校 9月月考)Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment. ____35____ Also, media organizations have told educators that they value students’ critical-thinking and problem-solving skills and their sense of ethics.
However, reasons for studying ethics go beyond what potential employers desire. Proper behavior is necessary for growth and order. If one objective of an education is to promote the growth and development of the individual, then the place to start is with personal behavior. Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large. ____36____ Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made — seat belts, for example — so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient. Without the “rules” of the road, travel becomes chaotic. Order is necessary. ____37____ It sets rules for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives.
____38____ Not every problem is an ethical one, and even when an ethical problem does present itself, people sometimes make the wrong ethical decision, or they make the right ethical decision and it result in unforeseen negative consequences. Nevertheless, people must realize that without a large number of individuals “doing the right thing”, society would not be doing much at all except fighting for survival and trying to figure out an increasingly chaotic world. Things are bad enough with ethics. ____39____
A. Ethics, however, is not a magic cure-all.
B. Ethical behavior could play the same role.
C. Think how bad they might be without them.
D. Ethics promotes not only a better individual but also a better society.
E. Think, for example, of the order required to move traffic on roads and highways.
F. The other study noted that 44% of the responding schools required students to complete an ethics course.
G. In conclusion, ethics helps resolve moral problems by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong.
【答案】35.F 36. E 37. B 38. A 39. C
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章以1996年的两项研究为切入点,阐述了新闻与大众传播专业学生学习伦理学的重要性,不仅分析了伦理学对个人成长、社会秩序的推动作用,也客观指出其并非万能,同时强调了伦理行为对社会运转的关键意义。
35. 根据上文“Two 1996 studies indicate the importance of the study of ethics to students in journalism and mass communications programs. A survey of seventy-three media ethics courses at universities across the country revealed a continuing rise in enrollment.(1996年的两项研究表明,伦理学研究对新闻与大众传播专业的学生具有重要意义。一项针对全国73所大学媒体伦理学课程的调查显示,选课人数持续上升。)”可知,前文已提及两项研究中的一项,此处应介绍另一项研究的内容。F选项“The other study noted that 44% of the responding schools required students to complete an ethics course.(另一项研究指出,44%的受访学校要求学生完成一门伦理学课程。)”中的“The other study”与前文的“Two 1996 studies”相呼应,补充了另一项研究的具体结果,符合语境。故选F项。
36. 根据上文“Developing a sense of what is right and wrong, or appropriate and inappropriate, will promote order, not only in individual lives but also in society at large.(树立正确与错误、恰当与不恰当的意识,不仅能促进个人生活的有序,也能推动整个社会的有序。)”以及下文“Speed limits are set, proper directions are indicated, and numerous suggestions are made — seat belts, for example — so that automobile travel is reasonably safe and efficient.(车速限制得以设定、正确的行驶方向得以明确,还有诸多建议得以提出——例如系安全带——从而确保汽车行驶既安全又高效。)”可知,空格处需衔接“社会秩序”这一话题,并引出下文交通领域的具体例子。E选项“Think, for example, of the order required to move traffic on roads and highways.(例如,想想公路和高速公路上交通运行所需要的秩序。)”既通过“for example”承接上文对社会秩序的论述,又以交通秩序为例引出下文具体内容,符合语境。故选E项。
37. 根据上文“Without the “rules” of the road, travel becomes chaotic. Order is necessary. (没有交通‘规则’,出行就会陷入混乱。秩序是必需的。)”以及下文“It sets rules for proper human activity and as a result promotes growth, development, and order in individual lives.(它为人类恰当的行为设定规则,进而促进个人生活的成长、发展与有序。)”可知,此处需将交通规则的作用类比到伦理行为上,“It”指代的内容应是伦理相关概念。B选项“Ethical behavior could play the same role.(伦理行为也能起到同样的作用。)”中的“the same role”呼应上文交通规则对秩序的维护作用,下文的“It”则指代“Ethical behavior”,逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选B项。

Passage7
【新动向】(2026 北京市昌平区 期末)Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
___35___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___36___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___37___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___38___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___39___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view.
C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.
【答案】35. E 36. C 37. A 38. B 39. F
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“浮鸭综合征”这一概念,揭示人们如何在外表平静与成功的伪装下隐藏内心的压力和挣扎,并强调真正的成就需要承认背后的辛勤付出而非假装轻松。
35. 前文“This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm. (这种差异揭示了“浮鸭综合征”这一概念,该术语指的是人们往往会将自身内心的紧张与挣扎隐藏起来,而以表面上的成功与平静的形象来掩盖这一切。)”引入“浮鸭综合征”的概念,后文“Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. (就像鸭子一样,他们试图展现出一种成功的形象,但内心却在承受着巨大的压力。在看似平静的外表之下,隐藏着焦虑、自我怀疑以及对成功的不懈追求。)”描述类似浮鸭的一类人群的具体行为表现,空处应进一步说明“浮鸭综合征”在哪些人群中常见,因此E项“Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people. (“浮鸭综合征”在成功人士中尤其常见。)”符合语境,承接前文的概念,引出后文的具体描述,其中的high-achieving people是后文they指代的对象。故选E。
36. 前文“Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. (因此,人们试图在多个方面都表现出色,同时又掩盖自己的困境,结果导致他们的辛勤付出和所遭受的痛苦无人知晓。)”描述试图表现优秀的人会掩盖自己的付出和痛苦,后文“Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. (由于感知与现实之间的这种脱节,人们急于表现得毫不费力地成功的这种压力便显得格外明显。)”指出感知与现实的脱节导致的问题,空处应说明这种脱节的具体表现是什么,因此C项“So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others. (所以我们通常错误地认为成就对他人来说是容易的。)”符合语境,表明掩盖行为导致了错误认知,和前文的掩盖构成因果关系,引出后文的问题。故选C。
37. 前文“When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. (当我们低估了成功的重重困难时,就会发现自己在众多任务中疲于奔命,力不从心。)”描述人们因低估困难而疲于应付多个任务,后文“Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations. (尽管这种策略可能短期内取得了显著成效,但最终却让我们面临诸多未达成的期望。)”指出这种策略导致的后果,因此A项“It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once. (这就像小丑试图同时让几个球保持在空中。)”符合语境,用形象的比喻揭示同时处理多项任务的困难,承接前文的描述,引出后文的后果。故选A。
38. 前文“Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. (“浮鸭综合征”可能会对我们自身的健康状况以及人际关系产生不利影响。)”总的指出“浮鸭综合征”对健康状况及人际关系有不利影响,后文“This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. (这种对挣扎的内化不仅加重了我们的负担,还使我们与可能的支援来源渐行渐远。)”提到对挣扎的内化的负面影响,空处应描述对挣扎的内化的具体表现,因此B项“To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view. (为了保持能干的外表,我们可能将压力锁在公众视野之外。)”符合语境,承接前文总的影响,引出后文具体的负面影响,其中的public view和后文的internalization形成对比。故选B。
39. 前文“The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. (“轻而易举就能成功”的这种想法背后隐藏着更深层次的真相。)”引出更深层次的真相,后文“By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward. (通过承认自身的弱点并认可这些努力,我们能够营造出一种开放和关爱的氛围——在这种氛围中,寻求帮助不再被视为软弱的表现,而被视为勇敢向前迈进的一步。)”建议承认弱点并认可努力,在开放和关爱的氛围中寻求帮助,空处应揭示该真相,因此F项“True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them. (真正的成就通常要求我们接受其背后的辛勤工作。)”符合语境,承接前文的真相,引出后文的认可努力。故选F。
