专题04 阅读理解（七选五） 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—健康的生活方式、积极的生活态度 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏苏州·期中） Maybe you are feeling down because of the financial crisis. Maybe you are feeling overloaded by holiday tasks. Or maybe you are rushing around to try to get things done before you leave for vacation. 16 In the next thirty minutes, check off as many of the following items as possible. Each one will lift your mood, boost your feelings of self-efficacy (自我效能) and bring about happiness. Boost your energy. Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, even better, take a ten-minute walk outside. 17 What’s more, the activity and sunlight are good for your focus, mood and memory. Reach out to friends. 18 Having warm, close connections with other people is the KEY to happiness, so take the time to stay in touch. Somewhat surprisingly, social activities boost the moods not only of extroverts (外向型人格) , but also of introverts. Perform an action that reflects your values. Do you think organ donation is a good idea? Sign up online to be one yourself; it takes less than a minute. 19 Refill your water bottle from the tap instead of buying a couple of bottles throughout the day. Experts hold that to work on happiness, we should think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth. Living up to your values will help you to “feel right”. 20 Order a book you have been wanting to read. Plan a trip to a museum or a movie theatre — whatever sounds like fun. Studies show that having fun on a regular basis is the foundation of happiness, and anticipation (期待) is an important part of that pleasure. Try to involve friends or family as well, as people enjoy almost all activities more when they are with other people. A．Deep breathing helps relieve stress. B．Are you worried about climate change? C．Lay the groundwork for some future fun. D．If so, you can make yourself happier — right now. E．Make a lunch date with a friend you haven’t seen in a while. F．It’s proven that people who sleep well are more productive during the day. G．Research shows metabolism (新陈代谢) speeds up when people move faster. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏常州溧阳市·期中） While most people appreciate the health advantages that come from running, cycling, or weight training, fewer people understand the benefits that come from a good swim. Actually, swimming provides a series of specific benefits. 36 According to research, swimming improves circulation (液循环) and cardiovascular efficiency, reducing one’s risk of heart attack and stroke. As a whole-body rhythmic and dynamic activity, swimming can reduce your blood pressure. 37 To push you forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body, including core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand, and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, as well as leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening and toning. Swimming can also aid in weight management goals. 38 One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burs 281 calories per hour swimming at a moderate pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming at an intense pace. Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits, Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of the hormones serotonin and dopamine (多巴胺). 39 Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related workouts when starting out. “Performing one or two swim laps followed by water walking or jogging and repeating this sequence may seem more approachable for beginners,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. 40 Now, dive in and let the marvelous journey begin! A．Swimming is also good for every muscle in the body. B．It’s a wonderful way to connect with others in your community. C．Arguably, the most important one is that it promotes heart health. D．The freestyle stroke burns more calories than other swimming strokes. E．In these ways, swimming has even been shown to improve memory fiction. F．Above all, making the experience enjoyable is the key to ensuring you stick with it. G．Research shows repeating swimming strokes and movements can burn many calories. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·江苏宿迁市沭阳县·期中） Your immune system operates in a very delicate balance. It must be strong and complicated enough to fight off a variety of illnesses and infections, but not so strong that it overreacts unnecessarily. To achieve this, there are things you can do to help give your immune system what it needs to function at its best. 16 Maintain a healthy diet. 17 This means making sure you eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, proteins, healthy fats, etc. “When your body has sufficient amounts of the micronutrients found in these foods, it helps to maintain your immune system’s homeostasis (体内稳态),” says Dr. Chen Lin, an Allergy and Immunology specialist. Exercise regularly. “Moderate-intensity exercise helps enhance immune surveillance (监视),” explains Dr. Lin. You can think of immune surveillance as a monitoring process of your immune system. 18 This means it’s important to focus on staying active and getting regular exercise. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep certainly doesn’t feel like an active process. 19 “Sleep is important for the immune system’s homeostasis,” says Dr. Lin. To give your immune system the best chance to fight off infection and illness, it’s important to get sufficient hours of high-quality sleep on a regular schedule every night. Minimize stress. Stress can potentially have a secondary impact on how well your immune system functions if it leads to sleep disturbances, reduced water intake, less frequent exercise and more. 20 Whether it’s deep breathing, meditation (冥想) or exercise, you should get familiar with the activities that help you reduce stress. A．A well-balanced diet is key to a strong immune system. B．Stress is different for everyone, and how we relieve it differs too. C．Now let’s explore why a strong immune system can help you stay healthy. D．And exercise helps immune cells be more efficient at detecting and reacting to infection. E．Water plays many important roles in your body, including supporting your immune system. F．Here are a few science-backed ways to build and maintain a strong, healthy immune system. G．However, there are plenty of important things happening in your body when you’re not awake. 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—认识自我，丰富自我，完善自我 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏常州·期中） Green-eyed monster It is all too human to feel envious of others’ success, but what can we do when those feelings threaten to overcome us? The obvious solution would be to avoid comparing ourselves to the people around us. 16 Humans are social creatures, and our standing within a group would have serious consequences for our welfare. As a result, we unavoidably use others as a measure of our success. This can kill satisfaction we’ve gained from our achievements. 17 The relative ranking of people’s earnings, compared with friends or coworkers, matters more for life satisfaction than how much they earn. This is the same case in other aspects like education or intelligence. It is how we match up to others that shapes how good we feel about ourselves. Envy may be worsened by a “focusing illusion (幻想)”. 18 We imagine that our successful friend is living in a constant state of joy, and forget that they have to face everyday difficulties like an argument with their partner or the death of a pet. In one study, participants were asked to imagine a peer with a desirable life. Simply reminding them of the “small annoyances” this person regularly faced significantly reduced their envy. 19 Realizing this should make us think twice about wishing ourselves in another’s shoes. When we are feeling bitter, we might also interpret others’ achievements as evidence that our own goals are achievable. Try remembering all the things within your control, and make a step-by-step plan of how you might achieve that. 20 We may never escape social comparison. When life gives us sour grapes, however, we can choose to make wine from those momentarily bitter fruits. A．But that is easier said than done. B．It refers to a habit of focusing on our failures. C．So we can’t help envying friends’ promotion. D．We can see this in how people think of their income. E．It describes fixing on a single aspect of someone’s life. F．We can never know what emotional problems someone may have. G．In this sense, feeling envious will motivate you to take positive actions. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏徐州·期中） If you find it hard to say no or struggle to voice your own needs, you might be a people pleaser. 16 But therapists warn that people pleasers could be harming their emotional and mental health and it could be so unconscious and automatic, you might not even realise you’re one of them. 17 Aside from the common sign of constantly saying yes to other people’s ideas, plans and wishes, many people pleasers will never really vocalise their own needs or ideas whether that’s at work, at home, with friends or in relationships. Watch out for whether you say “sorry” more than “no” too. 18 They may even excuse other people’s behaviour when there’s no need. What’s the long-term damage? Pleasing others before yourself will continue to embed (嵌入) the internal belief that you’re not worthy or lovable. Meanwhile you are giving people permission to tread on (凌驾) you, but inside you are hurt and feel rejected, resentful and unheard. How to stop people pleasing? Remember that it is not your fault. If your people pleasing behaviour came from a painful place, be proud and grateful to yourself that you found a way to survive and give yourself permission to let that go. Stop asking permission for things you do not have to ask permission for. 19 At the same time, if you do need help, ask for it. Put in boundaries. Start to say no to things that feel uncomfortable, or cause you stress or inconvenience. 20 Practise being more decisive. It can feel scary at first. This doesn’t mean being aggressive and forceful. A．How many types of people pleasers are there? B．What are the signs that you’re a people pleaser? C．Don’t give in just because other people didn’t like it. D．On the face of it, people pleasing might not sound like a negative trait. E．Realise you do not need other people’s opinion or approval all the time. F．It might be time to put yourself first instead of always prioritizing everyone else. G．“Sorry” is an easy word for people to use while “no” is rarely used in their vocabulary. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·淮安市协作体·期中） Loving your own body is often easier said than done. Do you know that 70% of women between the ages of 18-30 dislike their bodies? And men aren’t much better off. 36 There are countless ways you can work on body positivity, and you’ll have to find out what works for you. Think healthier, not skinnier When you’re making meals, or when you’re hitting the gym, don’t set your fitness goals according to a number you’d like to see on the scale. Exercise and a healthy diet shouldn’t be a punishment. 37   So, instead of thinking about how much your body weighs, or how it’s shaped, think about all the amazing things it can do. Surround yourself with positivity 38 According to one study, participants who spent more time on social media were more likely to develop a negative body image and eating disorders. So, try to cut out the negativity that you can. Look for positive people, people who practice self-love, and people who will encourage you to be who you are. Focus on the things you like about yourself Everytime a negative thought about your body pops into your mind, counter it with something positive. Try making lists of the things you like about your body. And not just how it looks, but the things it allows you to do. List it all out. We naturally tend to look for our dissatisfactions and overlook the good things. To break out of that way of thinking, it will take daily repetition. 39 Stop comparing yourself to others People come in all shapes and sizes. 40 And isn’t that how it should be? Imagine how boring it would be if there were only one way to be, and to feel, beautiful. Comparing yourself to others can leave you feeling like you don’t look the way you should, but you’re not supposed to look like someone else; you’re supposed to look like you. A．45% say they are dissatisfied with their bodies too. B．Negative messages about body image are all around us. C．Pick up a new hobby. D．One person is beautiful in one way, and the next person in some other way. E．Just keep at it. F．Often we project our own insecurities onto others. G．It is one way we show respect and appreciation for our bodies. 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—优秀品行，正确的人生态度，公民义务与社会责任 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏南通·期中） Taking responsibility for oneself and one’s actions is a critical skill for teenagers to learn. So, how can parents teach their teenagers responsibility so that their children are better equipped to handle the “real world”? 16 Be on time for commitments. It is a great responsibility for teens, because it gives them control over every aspect of their lives. 17 parents may help their teens set necessary alarms as a reminder of when to leave the house. They may also discuss timing with their teens, how to get to the required location, and help them find an efficient route to the location. 18 This is an excellent responsibility for teens, because there are built-in consequences for failing to be responsible. Parents may aid their teens by discussing what elements go into creating a balanced and satisfying meal and making sure that their teens have access to these food materials. Meet school deadlines. Deadlines always exist in college and careers, so it is vital that teens learn how to motivate themselves and keep themselves responsible for meeting their academic deadlines. 19 By providing occasional reminders about deadlines on apps, teens are more aware of their academic responsibilities. Have domestic chores (杂物) daily. Teens typically don’t enjoy doing chores, but chores are necessary because they are training opportunities for real-life responsibilities. Cooking, cleaning, laundry are all tasks that teenagers will have to do. 20 Consider your teen’s schedule and abilities when assigning tasks. Also, be specific so that your teenager knows what you expect of them. A．Make breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks. B．Have food delivered to door using food delivery apps. C．Parents can help by providing instructions for their teens. D．Being responsible shows that a person is capable and reliable. E．It trains them to be responsible for arrivals and arrangements. F．In that case, teens are more likely to become independent learners. G．This guide explains some ways teens practice handling responsibility. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏泰州市姜堰区·期中） Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. 13 There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize. First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 14 Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task. Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. 15 Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 16 If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals. 17 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions. A．Forgiveness and acceptance may take time. B．To give or receive a good apology is an art. C．But with practice, everyone can learn to do it. D．Listening to the response to our apologies is important. E．Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting. F．In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage. G．Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·淮安市淮安区·期中） You’ve likely come across the saying “You only get one chance to make a first impression.” It’s true, and quickly making a good impression on your teacher is an important part of having a successful school year. 36 Here are some ways to help you make a good impression. 37 Talk to the teacher for a minute or so if possible. This shows that you aren’t afraid to socialize and that you have confidence. Most teachers favor a confident student. Walk up to your teacher confidently, make eye contact, extend your hand, and say something you have in common. Wear a cheerful expression. Smile at every reasonable opportunity. Teachers are fond of students who are full of joy. It is important to look like you’re enjoying yourself during class. Some people think “dressing for success” in order to make a good impression. 38 Keep a positive attitude. Whether in class or out of it, situations won’t always turn out as you wish. Don’t let temporary difficulties influence your mood and appearance, though. 39 Teachers find it easier to get along with a positive person. Negativity spreads, but being positive spreads, too. Volunteer to help out. Don’t be shy. If the teacher asks for a volunteer to hand out study sheets or clean the chalkboard, raise your hand. And do it with a smile. 40 You can even offer to help out without the teacher asking for volunteers. A．Come to class ready to learn. B．Introduce yourself at the first opportunity. C．Do your best to avoid complaining or frowning. D．Show the teacher that you’re actively involved in class. E．But a nice smile is the easiest way to make a good impression. F．Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you don’t understand something. G．However, you don’t have to be the cleverest student to make a teacher value you. 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术—科技发展与信息技术创新，科学精神，信息安全 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏南通如皋市·期中） In the digital age, technology has revolutionized how we interact, bridging distances but also raising questions about the depth of our relationships. While smartphones and social media enable instant communication , their overuse often transforms meaningful connections into superficial (肤浅的) exchanges. 36 On one hand, technology undeniably fosters global connectivity. Platforms like Skype allows people to communicate with loved ones across continents, maintaining relationships that would have been difficult to sustain in the past. 37 Text messages and emojis facilitate quick exchanges but lack the nuances (细微差别) of tone, body language, and facial expressions that define in-person conversations. A 2023 study found that people relying on digital chat feel less satisfied with their relationships. 38 Moreover, technology can create a false sense of connection while promoting physical disengagement. 39 A survey by Baylor University revealed that 60% of participants felt ignored when their companions used phones during meetings or meals, damaging the closeness of those moments. This shift toward digital interaction suggests that convenience is overshadowing the authenticity of human connection. Critics argue that technology merely adapts to human behavior rather than shaping it; mindful users can maintain deep relationships alongside digital tools. While this is true, the overall effect of constant digital distraction is undeniable. 40 Setting boundaries — such as device-free family dinners or dedicated time for meaningful conversations-can help preserve the depth of relationships that technology alone cannot provide. A．The key lies not in rejecting technology but in balancing its use. B．People often prefer scrolling through feeds to engaging in real-time interactions. C．Technology has reshaped human connection by offering extraordinary accessibility. D．A heartfelt coffee chat is more likely to build trust than brief social media comments. E．However, the convenience of instant communication often comes at the cost of depth. F．Such tools break down geographical barriers and preserve bonds in a fast-paced world. G．This contradiction highlights the need to assess if technology enhances human interaction. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏泰州兴化市·期中） Whether through advertisements, news articles or social media posts, most of us by now have started hearing about the upcoming data network of the future. What is 5G? 33 To help all of us understand them, we have listed some facts everyone should know. ● First, what is 5G? 5G is the 5th generation network. It is a new global network after 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G, which can connect everyone and everything together. 34 With 5G there is a possibility that we can do everything. ● 35 Self-driving cars, which will depend on ultra-fast data transmission speeds to communicate with other cars as well as their surroundings, promise a safer transportation system if and when technology is fully realized. ●5G will change the way we work or study. In the post-coronavirus world, having remote working capabilities will be more important than ever. Video meeting, e-learning and other Internet-enabled work applications will be possible to the point where people can use them as easily in their home or on the road as in the office or classroom. 36 ●5G will change society in too many ways. The use-cases and applications widely talked about are only a part of what 5G will make possible. Just as in the early days of the Internet in the 1990s, few foresaw the rise of useful websites like Wikipedia, org. The same will surely be true of 5G. With 5G, other technologies don't seem like a dream anymore. 37 Now say goodbye to 4G in your homes and be prepared for the new wave of 5G. A．Self-driving will grow popular. B．5G will help make self-driving cars a reality. C．The computer game players can have a faster speed. D．Why does 5G matter so much in people's daily life? E．The power to do anything we want will be at our fingertips. F．5G means faster data speeds and ultra-low latency （超低延迟）. G．It will be also easier for doctors to treat patients remotely by 5G.

Due to the nature of such goals, people have a tendency to keep their goals and visions to themselves. 36 Sharing your goals in life with others is an important success principle. Have you ever wondered why weight loss apps encourage individuals to connect with other users, to post their weight loss goals, and their successes? Studies show that men and women who publicly shared their weight loss goals lost more weight than those who didn’t. 37 The truth is that your chance of actually achieving your goals is greatly increased when you share it with others for the following reasons: 1. You Gain Clarity You gain more clarity about your goal and how to achieve it. 38 Perhaps you knew you always wanted to apply to culinary (烹饪的) school, but your friend is able to help you target on which specialty is best suited for you. 2. You Receive Accountability (责任) 39 Maybe your goal was written in a diary for over a year, or even longer. Sharing your goal with a friend or family member makes the goal no longer just a note in a journal. Now, others can hold you accountable by asking you about the progress you’ve made towards reaching your goal. If you want to be able to positively respond to those questions, you’ll quickly be motivated to take action and stay on track. No goal can ever be met without self-motivation on your part, but unfortunately, motivation does not always come in abundance (大量). 40 But during the most difficult parts of the journey, we need external support and motivation. A．Speaking it makes it real. B．That was why they lost more weight. C．But there is great power in goal sharing. D．This phenomenon applies to other goals too. E．Conversations may help you clarify and sharpen your goal. F．Sometimes we can supply our own internal (内部的) motivation. G．External motivation come in the form of positive encouragement. Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·盐城市七校联考·期中） Some people might confidently declare, “I am a highly creative person.” While other may unwillingly admit that creativity is not their strength. 16 So, if you’ve ever thought you’re not a creative person, it may be time to reconsider. We often hold a fixed idea that creativity means being able to come up with new ideas. Traditionally, this was measured through tests like “think of as many uses as possible for this brick.” However, it’s not merely about quantity. 17 In a refreshing shift, today’s creativity assessments have developed beyond mere tests to descriptive tests. 18 Then they are asked to describe them and show their originality and depth of storytelling. Creative minds tend to do well in inventing unexpected plot twists, exploring character motives, and including conflicts that add depth. We’ve been discussing creativity in its classical sense, often associated with divergent thinking (发散思维) — the ability to generate ideas or solutions that didn’t exist before. Another equally significant type of thinking is convergent thinking (聚合思维), which is also considered closely connected to creativity. 19 Those with convergent thinking often possess extensive knowledge, viewing things from different angles and combining diverse points of view. 20 Whether you tend towards divergent or convergent thinking, or even both, you have your own set of skills and thought processes. Just dig into the potential within and recognize the creative force that exists in you. And remember your skills can be improved through constant learning. A．Participants are presented with some scenes. B．They often rely on the ideas of others to find solutions. C．Therefore, creativity is more than about producing ideas. D．It involves the combination of existing ideas in new ways. E．The standard lies in the originality and significance of the ideas. F．In a word, your unique thinking style contributes to rich creativity. G．However, new studies challenge the belief that creativity is inborn. Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·江苏宿迁市泗阳县·期中） Career planning is a vital step towards achieving success and fulfillment in our lives. As we enter the workforce, it is important to have a clear understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and to develop a plan to achieve them. 36 Self-assessment is the first and most crucial step in career planning. 37 We need to take a close look at our skills, interests, and values, and identify the careers that align with them. This requires reflection, research, and perhaps even consulting from professionals. We have identified our desired career paths, we need to set clear and measurable goals. These goals should be broken down into short-term and long-term objectives, with specific milestones and timelines, which helps us stay focused and motivated. 38 Another important aspect of career planning is developing the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in our chosen field. 39 Individuals can also pursue further education, seeking out mentors (导师，指导者) and networking opportunities. 40 We are no longer in an age where you select a career and stick with it until retirement. Things change fast and we need to be constantly learning. Continuous learning enables professionals to better understand the global context of their work, collaborate with diverse teams, and contribute to the development of their organizations and society as a whole. A．Lifelong learning is necessary. B．Thus, it provides a roadmap for our professional development. C．We cannot do this without both technical and adaptive learning. D．It is about having an open mind which analyses issues in a productive way. E．Here are some key competences recommended for your future career plan. F．It involves understanding one’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, and core values. G．This may involve gaining relevant experience through internships (实习) or volunteer work. 主题02 人与社会——文学、艺术与体育—小说、戏剧、诗歌等文学形式 （24-25学年高二下·江苏无锡江阴市·期中） How similar are language and music? Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 36 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes (音符) to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 37 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition (作品) of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. 38 You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. Both share emotion. 39 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 40 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics (歌词). A．Both are expressive. B．Similarly, music is part of many people's lives. C．So just as you read English, you can read music. D．We use language to express our thoughts. E．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. F．How do you know that I am angry? G．Both vary with culture. 主题02 人与社会——历史、社会与文化——对社会有突出贡献的人物 （24-25学年高二下·盐城市七校联考·期中） Some people might confidently declare, “I am a highly creative person.” While other may unwillingly admit that creativity is not their strength. 16 So, if you’ve ever thought you’re not a creative person, it may be time to reconsider.

The aim is to create an environment that limits the disturbance caused by these devices during lessons. “There is increasing evidence that mobile phones have a harmful effect during lessons.   36 For this reason, mobile phones, as well as tablets and smartwatches, will no longer be allowed in classrooms from January 1, 2024,” the government said. 37 For example, they may be allowed during lessons focusing on digital skills, for medical purposes, or for individuals with disabilities who rely on such devices. “Even though mobile phones are closely related to our lives, they do not belong in the classroom,” education minister Robbert Dijkgraaf said in a statement. “Students need to concentrate and need to be given the opportunity to study well. Mobile phones will disturb them, scientific research shows. 38 ” “The ban is the result of an agreement between the ministry, schools, and related organizations. Schools can find their own way to organize the ban,” Dijkgraaf added, “ 39 ” A similar ban was introduced in France in 2018 for primary and middle schools to improve focus and prevent online violence. 40 In most cases, mobile phones are already banned for the majority of the school day, said the UK government. A．We need to protect students against this. B．However, laws will follow if the results are not good enough. C．And parents will also have to follow the rule.

Each one will lift your mood, boost your feelings of self-efficacy (自我效能) and bring about happiness. Boost your energy. Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, even better, take a ten-minute walk outside. 17 What’s more, the activity and sunlight are good for your focus, mood and memory. Reach out to friends. 18 Having warm, close connections with other people is the KEY to happiness, so take the time to stay in touch. Somewhat surprisingly, social activities boost the moods not only of extroverts (外向型人格) , but also of introverts. Perform an action that reflects your values. Do you think organ donation is a good idea? Sign up online to be one yourself; it takes less than a minute. 19 Refill your water bottle from the tap instead of buying a couple of bottles throughout the day.

Actually, swimming provides a series of specific benefits. 36 According to research, swimming improves circulation (液循环) and cardiovascular efficiency, reducing one’s risk of heart attack and stroke. As a whole-body rhythmic and dynamic activity, swimming can reduce your blood pressure. 37 To push you forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body, including core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand, and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, as well as leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening and toning. Swimming can also aid in weight management goals. 38 One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burs 281 calories per hour swimming at a moderate pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming at an intense pace. Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits, Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of the hormones serotonin and dopamine (多巴胺). 39 Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related workouts when starting out. “Performing one or two swim laps followed by water walking or jogging and repeating this sequence may seem more approachable for beginners,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. 40 Now, dive in and let the marvelous journey begin! A．Swimming is also good for every muscle in the body. B．It’s a wonderful way to connect with others in your community. C．Arguably, the most important one is that it promotes heart health. D．The freestyle stroke burns more calories than other swimming strokes. E．In these ways, swimming has even been shown to improve memory fiction. F．Above all, making the experience enjoyable is the key to ensuring you stick with it. G．Research shows repeating swimming strokes and movements can burn many calories. 【答案】36．C 37．A 38．G 39．E 40．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了游泳提供的一系列具体的好处。 36．根据后文“According to research, swimming improves circulation (液循环) and cardiovascular efficiency, reducing one’s risk of heart attack and stroke.(根据研究，游泳可以改善血液循环和心血管效率，降低心脏病发作和中风的风险)”可知，本句主要引出游泳对心脏的好处。故C选项“可以说，最重要的一点是它能促进心脏健康”符合语境，故选C。 37．根据后文“To push yourself forward, swimming requires the use of many major muscle groups of the body. These include core muscles, neck muscles, arm, hand and shoulder muscles, chest and back muscles, plus leg and feet muscles, thus contributing to muscle strengthening. (为了推动自己前进，游泳需要使用身体的许多主要肌肉群。这些肌肉包括核心肌肉、颈部肌肉、手臂、手和肩膀肌肉、胸部和背部肌肉，以及腿部和脚部肌肉，从而有助于增强肌肉)”可知，本段主要介绍游泳有益于增强全身肌肉，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该总的说明游泳对增强肌肉有益，因此A项“游泳对身体的每一块肌肉都有好处”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选A。 38．根据上文“Swimming can also aid in weight management goals.(游泳也可以帮助实现体重管理目标)”以及后文“One public health analysis found that a 155-pound person burs 281 calories per hour swimming at a moderate pace but can burn as many as 704 calories per hour swimming at an intense pace.(一项公共健康分析发现，一个155磅重的人以中等速度游泳每小时消耗281卡路里，但以高速度游泳每小时可以消耗多达704卡路里)”可知，本句承接上文，具体说明游泳是如何帮助体重管理的。故G选项“研究表明，重复的游泳动作和移动可以燃烧很多卡路里”符合语境，故选G。 39．上文“Additionally, swimming has mental health benefits. Studies show that moving through water increases blood flow to the brain and causes a release of dopamine (多巴胺). (此外，游泳对心理健康也有好处。研究表明，在水中移动会增加流向大脑的血液，并导致多巴胺的释放)”指出游泳有益于心理健康，解释游泳时大脑发生的变化，空处应该会介绍这种变化带来的好处，故E项“在这些方面，游泳甚至被证明可以改善记忆”符合语境，承接上文，其中的this way指代前一句的内容。故选E。 40．根据上文“Given so many benefits of swimming, why not get started? Some experts recommend a mix of both swimming and other water-related workouts when starting out. “Performing one or two swim laps followed by water walking or jogging and repeating this sequence may seem more approachable for beginners,” says Lori Sherlock, an exercise professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine.(既然游泳有这么多好处，为什么不开始呢？一些专家建议在开始的时候将游泳和其他与水有关的锻炼结合起来。西弗吉尼亚大学医学院的运动教授洛里·夏洛克说：“对初学者来说，先游一到两圈，然后再走或慢跑，重复这个过程似乎更容易接受)”可知，上文提到“重复这个过程似乎更容易接受”，故本句主要说明上述过程的好处。故F选项“最重要的是，让体验变得愉快是确保你坚持下去的关键”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·江苏宿迁市沭阳县·期中） Your immune system operates in a very delicate balance. It must be strong and complicated enough to fight off a variety of illnesses and infections, but not so strong that it overreacts unnecessarily. To achieve this, there are things you can do to help give your immune system what it needs to function at its best. 16 Maintain a healthy diet. 17 This means making sure you eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, proteins, healthy fats, etc. “When your body has sufficient amounts of the micronutrients found in these foods, it helps to maintain your immune system’s homeostasis (体内稳态),” says Dr. Chen Lin, an Allergy and Immunology specialist. Exercise regularly. “Moderate-intensity exercise helps enhance immune surveillance (监视),” explains Dr. Lin. You can think of immune surveillance as a monitoring process of your immune system. 18 This means it’s important to focus on staying active and getting regular exercise. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep certainly doesn’t feel like an active process. 19 “Sleep is important for the immune system’s homeostasis,” says Dr. Lin. To give your immune system the best chance to fight off infection and illness, it’s important to get sufficient hours of high-quality sleep on a regular schedule every night. Minimize stress. Stress can potentially have a secondary impact on how well your immune system functions if it leads to sleep disturbances, reduced water intake, less frequent exercise and more. 20 Whether it’s deep breathing, meditation (冥想) or exercise, you should get familiar with the activities that help you reduce stress. A．A well-balanced diet is key to a strong immune system. B．Stress is different for everyone, and how we relieve it differs too. C．Now let’s explore why a strong immune system can help you stay healthy. D．And exercise helps immune cells be more efficient at detecting and reacting to infection. E．Water plays many important roles in your body, including supporting your immune system. F．Here are a few science-backed ways to build and maintain a strong, healthy immune system. G．However, there are plenty of important things happening in your body when you’re not awake. 【答案】16．F 17．A 18．D 19．G 20．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是帮助免疫系统达到最佳功能状态的方法。 16．空前“To achieve this, there are things you can do to help give your immune system what it needs to function at its best.(为了达到这个目的，你可以做一些事情来帮助你的免疫系统发挥最佳功能。)”可知，有一些事情可以帮助发挥系统的功能，由空后的小标题可知，接下来要讲一些方法，F选项“Here are a few science-backed ways to build and maintain a strong, healthy immune system.(这里有一些有科学依据的方法来建立和维持一个强大、健康的免疫系统。)”说明了接下来要讲一些建立强大的免疫系统的方法，承上启下，符合语境，故选F。 17．本段小标题是“Maintain a healthy diet.(保持健康的饮食。)”，因此本段主要是关于饮食的，因此空格处也是关于饮食的，A选项“A well-balanced diet is key to a strong immune system.(均衡的饮食是强健免疫系统的关键。)”强调了饮食的重要性，因此符合本段语境，故选A。 18．空前““Moderate-intensity exercise helps enhance immune surveillance (监视),” explains Dr. Lin.(“中等强度的运动有助于增强免疫监视，”林博士解释说。)”说明了锻炼和运动的重要性，D选项“And exercise helps immune cells be more efficient at detecting and reacting to infection.(锻炼有助于免疫细胞更有效地检测和应对感染。)”说明了锻炼的重要性，承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 19．空前“Sleep certainly doesn’t feel like an active process.(睡眠当然不像是一个活跃的过程。)”说明了睡眠不是一个活跃的过程，空后“Sleep is important for the immune system’s homeostasis(睡眠对免疫系统的稳态很重要)”说明了睡眠的重要性，G选项“However, there are plenty of important things happening in your body when you’re not awake.(然而，当你不醒着的时候，你的身体会发生很多重要的事情。)”也说明了睡觉时身体会发生很多重要的事情，突出了睡眠的重要性，符合本段语境，故选G。 20．空前“Stress can potentially have a secondary impact on how well your immune system functions if it leads to sleep disturbances, reduced water intake, less frequent exercise and more.(如果压力导致睡眠障碍、饮水减少、运动频率降低等等，它可能会对免疫系统的功能产生潜在的二次影响。)”说明了压力对人的弊端，空格处应该讲缓解压力相关的内容，B选项“Stress is different for everyone, and how we relieve it differs too.(每个人的压力都不一样，我们缓解压力的方式也不一样。)”说明了我们缓解压力的方法不一样，承接上文，符合语境，故选B。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—认识自我，丰富自我，完善自我 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏常州·期中） Green-eyed monster It is all too human to feel envious of others’ success, but what can we do when those feelings threaten to overcome us? The obvious solution would be to avoid comparing ourselves to the people around us. 16 Humans are social creatures, and our standing within a group would have serious consequences for our welfare. As a result, we unavoidably use others as a measure of our success. This can kill satisfaction we’ve gained from our achievements. 17 The relative ranking of people’s earnings, compared with friends or coworkers, matters more for life satisfaction than how much they earn. This is the same case in other aspects like education or intelligence. It is how we match up to others that shapes how good we feel about ourselves. Envy may be worsened by a “focusing illusion (幻想)”. 18 We imagine that our successful friend is living in a constant state of joy, and forget that they have to face everyday difficulties like an argument with their partner or the death of a pet. In one study, participants were asked to imagine a peer with a desirable life. Simply reminding them of the “small annoyances” this person regularly faced significantly reduced their envy. 19 Realizing this should make us think twice about wishing ourselves in another’s shoes. When we are feeling bitter, we might also interpret others’ achievements as evidence that our own goals are achievable. Try remembering all the things within your control, and make a step-by-step plan of how you might achieve that. 20 We may never escape social comparison. When life gives us sour grapes, however, we can choose to make wine from those momentarily bitter fruits. A．But that is easier said than done. B．It refers to a habit of focusing on our failures. C．So we can’t help envying friends’ promotion. D．We can see this in how people think of their income. E．It describes fixing on a single aspect of someone’s life. F．We can never know what emotional problems someone may have. G．In this sense, feeling envious will motivate you to take positive actions. 【答案】16．A 17．D 18．E 19．F 20．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何处理嫉妒情绪。 16．上文“The obvious solution would be to avoid comparing ourselves to the people around us.(显而易见的解决办法是避免将自己与周围的人进行比较)”提到，解决办法是避免将自己与周围的人进行比较，结合下文“Humans are social creatures, and our standing within a group would have serious consequences for our welfare. As a result, we unavoidably use others as a measure of our success.(人类是社会动物，我们在群体中的地位会对我们的福利产生严重的影响。因此，我们不可避免地把别人作为衡量自己成功的标准)”可知，人类是社会动物，我们不可避免地把别人作为衡量自己成功的标准，因此“避免将自己与周围的人进行比较”这一办法很难做到，A项“但说起来容易做起来难”符合语境，故选A。 17．上一段末句“This can kill satisfaction we’ve gained from our achievements.(这会扼杀我们从成就中获得的满足感)”提到，和别人进行比较会扼杀我们从成就中获得的满足感，下文“The relative ranking of people’s earnings, compared with friends or coworkers, matters more for life satisfaction than how much they earn.(与朋友或同事相比，人们收入的相对排名对生活满意度的影响比他们收入的多少更大)”通过收入的例子说明上文观点，D项“我们可以从人们如何看待自己的收入中看到这一点”承上启下，符合语境，故选D。 18．上文“Envy may be worsened by a ‘focusing illusion (幻想)’.(嫉妒可能会因‘聚焦幻想’而恶化)”提到“聚焦幻想”，空处应是解释其含义，E项“它描述的是专注于某人生活的某一方面”符合语境，且和下文“We imagine that our successful friend is living in a constant state of joy, and forget that they have to face everyday difficulties like an argument with their partner or the death of a pet.(我们想象我们成功的朋友一直生活在快乐的状态中，而忘记了他们必须面对日常的困难，比如与伴侣的争吵或宠物的死亡)”内容相吻合，故选E。 19．上文“Simply reminding them of the ‘small annoyances’ this person regularly faced significantly reduced their envy.(仅仅是提醒他们这个人经常遇到的‘小烦恼’，就能大大减少他们的嫉妒心)”提到，提醒参与者别人会经常遇到‘小烦恼’会减少他们的嫉妒心，下文“Realizing this should make us think twice about wishing ourselves in another’s shoes.(意识到这一点，我们应该在希望自己处在别人的位置时三思而后行)”提到在希望自己处在别人的位置时三思而后行，即不会再想要成为别人，因此空处是关于别人的困境描述，F项“我们永远不可能知道一个人可能有什么样的情感问题”符合语境，故选F。 20．根据上文“When we are feeling bitter, we might also interpret others’ achievements as evidence that our own goals are achievable. Try remembering all the things within your control, and make a step-by-step plan of how you might achieve that.(当我们感到痛苦时，我们可能也会把别人的成就解释为我们自己的目标可以实现的证据。试着记住你能控制的所有事情，然后制定一个循序渐进的计划)”可知，此处是说用别人的成就激励自己，这是描述嫉妒的积极意义，G项“从这个意义上说，嫉妒会激励你采取积极的行动”符合语境，故选G。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏徐州·期中） If you find it hard to say no or struggle to voice your own needs, you might be a people pleaser. 16 But therapists warn that people pleasers could be harming their emotional and mental health and it could be so unconscious and automatic, you might not even realise you’re one of them. 17 Aside from the common sign of constantly saying yes to other people’s ideas, plans and wishes, many people pleasers will never really vocalise their own needs or ideas whether that’s at work, at home, with friends or in relationships. Watch out for whether you say “sorry” more than “no” too. 18 They may even excuse other people’s behaviour when there’s no need. What’s the long-term damage? Pleasing others before yourself will continue to embed (嵌入) the internal belief that you’re not worthy or lovable. Meanwhile you are giving people permission to tread on (凌驾) you, but inside you are hurt and feel rejected, resentful and unheard. How to stop people pleasing? Remember that it is not your fault. If your people pleasing behaviour came from a painful place, be proud and grateful to yourself that you found a way to survive and give yourself permission to let that go. Stop asking permission for things you do not have to ask permission for. 19 At the same time, if you do need help, ask for it. Put in boundaries. Start to say no to things that feel uncomfortable, or cause you stress or inconvenience. 20 Practise being more decisive. It can feel scary at first. This doesn’t mean being aggressive and forceful. A．How many types of people pleasers are there? B．What are the signs that you’re a people pleaser? C．Don’t give in just because other people didn’t like it. D．On the face of it, people pleasing might not sound like a negative trait. E．Realise you do not need other people’s opinion or approval all the time. F．It might be time to put yourself first instead of always prioritizing everyone else. G．“Sorry” is an easy word for people to use while “no” is rarely used in their vocabulary. 【答案】16．D 17．B 18．G 19．E 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何避免成为讨好者。 16．根据上文“If you find it hard to say no or struggle to voice your own needs, you might be a people pleaser.(如果你发现很难说“不”或者很难表达自己的需求，你可能是一个讨人喜欢的人)”以及后文“But therapists warn that people pleasers could be harming their emotional and mental health and it could be so unconscious and automatic, you might not even realise you’re one of them.(但治疗师警告说，取悦他人的人可能会损害他们的情绪和心理健康，这可能是无意识和自动的，你甚至可能没有意识到你是其中之一)”可知，后文与本句构成转折关系，推测本句是在说明讨人喜欢的人的正面特点。故D选项“从表面上看，讨人喜欢可能听起来不像一个负面的特质”符合语境，故选D。 17．根据本段内容“Aside from the common sign of constantly saying yes to other people’s ideas, plans and wishes, many people pleasers will never really vocalise their own needs or ideas whether that’s at work, at home, with friends or in relationships.(除了经常对别人的想法、计划和愿望说“是”这一常见迹象外，无论是在工作中、在家里、在朋友面前还是在恋爱中，许多讨好者都不会真正说出自己的需求或想法)”可知，本段主要列举了讨好者的一些特点。故B选项“有什么迹象表明你是一个讨人喜欢的人？”符合语境，适合做小标题，故选B。 18．根据上文“Watch out for whether you say “sorry” more than “no” too.(注意你说“对不起”的次数是否多于说“不”)”以及后文“They may even excuse other people’s behaviour when there’s no need.(他们甚至会在没有必要的时候原谅别人的行为)”可知，本句承接上文，说明说“对不起”和“不”分别体现了什么。故G选项“‘对不起’对人们来说是一个容易使用的词，而‘不’在他们的词汇中很少使用”符合语境，故选G。 19．根据上文“Stop asking permission for things you do not have to ask permission for.(不要再为你不需要许可的事情请求许可)”可知，上文建议“不要再为你不需要许可的事情请求许可”，E选项approval对应上文permission。故E选项“意识到你并不总是需要别人的意见或认可”符合语境，故选E。 20．根据上文“Put in boundaries. Start to say no to things that feel uncomfortable, or cause you stress or inconvenience.(设定界限。开始对那些让你感到不舒服，或给你带来压力或不便的事情说不)”可知，本地建议设定界限，对让自己不舒服的事情说不，即尊重自己的内心感受，不要过于在意别人的喜好。故C选项“不要因为别人不喜欢就放弃”符合语境，故选C。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·淮安市协作体·期中） Loving your own body is often easier said than done. Do you know that 70% of women between the ages of 18-30 dislike their bodies? And men aren’t much better off. 36 There are countless ways you can work on body positivity, and you’ll have to find out what works for you. Think healthier, not skinnier When you’re making meals, or when you’re hitting the gym, don’t set your fitness goals according to a number you’d like to see on the scale. Exercise and a healthy diet shouldn’t be a punishment. 37   So, instead of thinking about how much your body weighs, or how it’s shaped, think about all the amazing things it can do. Surround yourself with positivity 38 According to one study, participants who spent more time on social media were more likely to develop a negative body image and eating disorders. So, try to cut out the negativity that you can. Look for positive people, people who practice self-love, and people who will encourage you to be who you are. Focus on the things you like about yourself Everytime a negative thought about your body pops into your mind, counter it with something positive. Try making lists of the things you like about your body. And not just how it looks, but the things it allows you to do. List it all out. We naturally tend to look for our dissatisfactions and overlook the good things. To break out of that way of thinking, it will take daily repetition. 39 Stop comparing yourself to others People come in all shapes and sizes. 40 And isn’t that how it should be? Imagine how boring it would be if there were only one way to be, and to feel, beautiful. Comparing yourself to others can leave you feeling like you don’t look the way you should, but you’re not supposed to look like someone else; you’re supposed to look like you. A．45% say they are dissatisfied with their bodies too. B．Negative messages about body image are all around us. C．Pick up a new hobby. D．One person is beautiful in one way, and the next person in some other way. E．Just keep at it. F．Often we project our own insecurities onto others.

To break out of that way of thinking, it will take daily repetition.(我们自然倾向于寻找自己的不满，而忽略了好的一面。要打破这种思维方式，需要每天重复。)”可知，此空要建议人们要每天重复列出喜欢自己身体的地方，选项E“坚持下去”符合语境，选项E中的“keep at it”与上文的“daily repetition”相呼应，表示要每天重复列出喜欢自己身体的地方，坚持下去。故选E。 40．根据上文“People come in all shapes and sizes.(人们有不同的体型和尺寸。)”和下文“And isn’t that how it should be? Imagine how boring it would be if there were only one way to be, and to feel, beautiful.(难道不应该是这样吗？想象一下，如果只有一种方式可以美丽，那该有多无聊。)”可知，此空要描述每个人都有自己独特的美，选项D“一个人以一种方式美丽，另一个人以另一种方式美丽”符合语境。故选D。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—优秀品行，正确的人生态度，公民义务与社会责任 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·江苏南通·期中） Taking responsibility for oneself and one’s actions is a critical skill for teenagers to learn. So, how can parents teach their teenagers responsibility so that their children are better equipped to handle the “real world”? 16 Be on time for commitments. It is a great responsibility for teens, because it gives them control over every aspect of their lives. 17 parents may help their teens set necessary alarms as a reminder of when to leave the house. They may also discuss timing with their teens, how to get to the required location, and help them find an efficient route to the location. 18 This is an excellent responsibility for teens, because there are built-in consequences for failing to be responsible. Parents may aid their teens by discussing what elements go into creating a balanced and satisfying meal and making sure that their teens have access to these food materials. Meet school deadlines. Deadlines always exist in college and careers, so it is vital that teens learn how to motivate themselves and keep themselves responsible for meeting their academic deadlines. 19 By providing occasional reminders about deadlines on apps, teens are more aware of their academic responsibilities.

It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. 13 There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize. First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. 14 Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task. Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. 15 Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. 16 If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals. 17 Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions. A．Forgiveness and acceptance may take time. B．To give or receive a good apology is an art. C．But with practice, everyone can learn to do it. D．Listening to the response to our apologies is important. E．Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting. F．In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage. G．Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything. 【答案】13．C 14．E 15．F 16．A 17．D 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助你学习如何道歉的技巧。 13． 上文“Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first.(学习如何道歉与学习任何新行为类似。一开始可能会感觉别扭，可能没有被打磨好。)”指出学习道歉一开始可能会让你感到别扭，下文“There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.(当您学习如何道歉时，有一些技巧可以帮助您。)”指出有些技巧可以帮助您学习道歉，这说明通过学习就能学会如何道歉，C项“但通过练习，每个人都可以学会这样做。”符合，承上启下，故选C。 14．上文“First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used.(首先，等到合适的时间和地点。尽管公开道歉通常是合适的，但仍应谨慎行事。)”指出公开道歉需要谨慎行事，要等到合适的时间和地点，空处承接上文，E项“大多数道歉可以而且应该在私人场合进行。”符合，具体介绍了在什么地点适合公开道歉，故选E。 15．上文“Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. (承认已经发生伤害的事实，然后对所发生的事情承担责任。真诚地表达你的遗憾，并表明你愿意对事情负责。)”可知，道歉时要承认已经发生伤害的事实，并承担自己的责任，这说明不要为自己找借口，要主动承担责任，修复问题，F项“换句话说，避免找借口并主动修复损坏。”符合，故选F。 16．上文“Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance.(即使您遵循这些步骤，也要做好被拒绝的准备。有时，道歉的人期望道歉会立即得到原谅和接受。)”可知，要做好被拒绝的准备，道歉的人期望会立即得到原谅且被接受，但是原谅和接受是需要时间的，A项“原谅和接受可能需要时间。”符合，承接上文，故选A。 17．此处是本段中心句，下文“Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难，因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知，本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人，D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合，故选D。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·淮安市淮安区·期中） You’ve likely come across the saying “You only get one chance to make a first impression.” It’s true, and quickly making a good impression on your teacher is an important part of having a successful school year. 36 Here are some ways to help you make a good impression. 37 Talk to the teacher for a minute or so if possible. This shows that you aren’t afraid to socialize and that you have confidence. Most teachers favor a confident student. Walk up to your teacher confidently, make eye contact, extend your hand, and say something you have in common. Wear a cheerful expression. Smile at every reasonable opportunity. Teachers are fond of students who are full of joy. It is important to look like you’re enjoying yourself during class. Some people think “dressing for success” in order to make a good impression. 38 Keep a positive attitude. Whether in class or out of it, situations won’t always turn out as you wish. Don’t let temporary difficulties influence your mood and appearance, though. 39 Teachers find it easier to get along with a positive person. Negativity spreads, but being positive spreads, too. Volunteer to help out. Don’t be shy. If the teacher asks for a volunteer to hand out study sheets or clean the chalkboard, raise your hand. And do it with a smile. 40 You can even offer to help out without the teacher asking for volunteers. A．Come to class ready to learn. B．Introduce yourself at the first opportunity.

While smartphones and social media enable instant communication , their overuse often transforms meaningful connections into superficial (肤浅的) exchanges. 36 On one hand, technology undeniably fosters global connectivity. Platforms like Skype allows people to communicate with loved ones across continents, maintaining relationships that would have been difficult to sustain in the past. 37 Text messages and emojis facilitate quick exchanges but lack the nuances (细微差别) of tone, body language, and facial expressions that define in-person conversations. A 2023 study found that people relying on digital chat feel less satisfied with their relationships. 38 Moreover, technology can create a false sense of connection while promoting physical disengagement. 39 A survey by Baylor University revealed that 60% of participants felt ignored when their companions used phones during meetings or meals, damaging the closeness of those moments. This shift toward digital interaction suggests that convenience is overshadowing the authenticity of human connection. Critics argue that technology merely adapts to human behavior rather than shaping it; mindful users can maintain deep relationships alongside digital tools. While this is true, the overall effect of constant digital distraction is undeniable. 40 Setting boundaries — such as device-free family dinners or dedicated time for meaningful conversations-can help preserve the depth of relationships that technology alone cannot provide. A．The key lies not in rejecting technology but in balancing its use. B．People often prefer scrolling through feeds to engaging in real-time interactions. C．Technology has reshaped human connection by offering extraordinary accessibility. D．A heartfelt coffee chat is more likely to build trust than brief social media comments. E．However, the convenience of instant communication often comes at the cost of depth. F．Such tools break down geographical barriers and preserve bonds in a fast-paced world. G．This contradiction highlights the need to assess if technology enhances human interaction. 【答案】36．G 37．E 38．D 39．B 40．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕数字时代技术对人际关系的影响展开介绍。一方面，技术实现全球连通，打破地理隔阂，便于人们维持关系。另一方面，其过度使用导致问题出现：即时通讯虽便捷却流于表面，缺乏面对面交流的细节，降低人们对关系的满意度；同时造成虚假连接感，破坏现实互动中的亲密氛围。尽管有人认为合理使用数字工具可兼顾深度关系，但技术干扰客观存在。关键在于平衡技术使用，以保障人际关系的深度与真实性。 36．根据上文“In the digital age, technology has revolutionized how we interact, bridging distances but also raising questions about the depth of our relationships. While smartphones and social media enable instant communication , their overuse often transforms meaningful connections into superficial (肤浅的) exchanges.(在数字时代，科技彻底改变了我们的交流方式，拉近了人与人之间的距离，但也引发了关于人际关系深度的思考。虽然智能手机和社交媒体使即时沟通成为可能，但过度使用它们往往会将有意义的联系变成肤浅的交流)”可知，首段前两句肯定技术便利性，转折后指出过度使用使关系肤浅，本句总结上文的矛盾以及影响。故G选项“这种矛盾凸显了评估技术是否能促进人际交流的必要性”符合语境，故选G。 37．根据后文“Text messages and emojis facilitate quick exchanges but lack the nuances (细微差别) of tone, body language, and facial expressions that define in-person conversations. A 2023 study found that people relying on digital chat feel less satisfied with their relationships(短信和表情符号有助于实现快速交流，但它们缺乏语气、肢体语言和面部表情等这些能体现面对面交流特质的元素。2023年的一项研究发现，依赖数字聊天的人对他们的关系满意度较低)”可知，第二段提到“依赖数字聊天的人对他们的关系满意度较低”，即数字聊天让人们缺乏沟通，故E选项“但即时通讯的便捷性往往以深度交流的缺失为代价”符合语境，故选E。 38．根据上文“A 2023 study found that people relying on digital chat feel less satisfied with their relationships.(2023 年的一项研究发现，依赖网络聊天的人对他们的人际关系满意度较低)”可知，上文提到满意度低，推测本句要说明促进沟通的方法。故D选项“深切的面对面交谈比简短的社交媒体评论更有可能建立信任”符合语境，故选D。 39．根据上文“Moreover, technology can create a false sense of connection while promoting physical disengagement.(此外，技术虽然能让人产生一种虚假的联系感，但却会导致实际的物理疏离)”以及后文“A survey by Baylor University revealed that 60% of participants felt ignored when their companions used phones during meetings or meals, damaging the closeness of those moments. This shift toward digital interaction suggests that convenience is overshadowing the authenticity of human connection.(贝勒大学的一项调查表明，60%的参与者在同伴在会议或用餐时使用手机时会感到被忽视，这破坏了那些时刻的亲密感。这种向数字化交流方式的转变表明，便捷性正在取代人与人之间真实的情感联系)”可知，第四段指出技术导致 “虚假连接感”，本句解释物理疏离，衔接贝勒大学调查案例。故B选项“人们往往更倾向于浏览信息流，而非进行实时互动”符合语境，故选B。 40．根据上文“Critics argue that technology merely adapts to human behavior rather than shaping it; mindful users can maintain deep relationships alongside digital tools. While this is true, the overall effect of constant digital distraction is undeniable.(批评者认为，技术只是适应人类的行为，而非塑造人类行为；但有意识的用户仍能在使用数字工具的同时维系深厚的人际关系。诚然如此，但持续的数字干扰所带来的总体影响却是不容忽视的)”可知，末段总结解决方案，A 选项“关键不在拒绝技术而在平衡使用”，引出“设定边界”的建议，呼应全文“技术与真实关系”的核心议题。故A选项“关键不在于拒绝使用技术，而在于合理利用技术”符合语境，故选A。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·江苏泰州兴化市·期中） Whether through advertisements, news articles or social media posts, most of us by now have started hearing about the upcoming data network of the future.

Due to the nature of such goals, people have a tendency to keep their goals and visions to themselves. 36 Sharing your goals in life with others is an important success principle. Have you ever wondered why weight loss apps encourage individuals to connect with other users, to post their weight loss goals, and their successes? Studies show that men and women who publicly shared their weight loss goals lost more weight than those who didn’t. 37 The truth is that your chance of actually achieving your goals is greatly increased when you share it with others for the following reasons: 1.

If you want to be able to positively respond to those questions, you’ll quickly be motivated to take action and stay on track.(也许你的目标在日记里写了一年多，甚至更久。与朋友或家人分享你的目标，使你的目标不再只是记在日记里。现在，其他人可以通过询问你在实现目标方面取得的进展来对你负责。如果你想积极地回答这些问题，你很快就会有动力采取行动，并保持在正轨上)”可知，本段主要说明了使目标不再只是记在日记里，即建议说出来，和他人分享。故A选项“说出来就是真的”符合语境，故选A。 40．根据上文“No goal can ever be met without self-motivation on your part, but unfortunately, motivation does not always come in abundance (大量).(没有自我激励，任何目标都无法实现，但不幸的是，动力并不总是充足的)”以及后文“But during the most difficult parts of the journey, we need external support and motivation.(但在最困难的时候，我们需要外界的支持和动力)”可知，本句主要强调自我激励来提供动力，后文则是需要外界动力的情况。故F选项“有时候我们可以提供自己内在的动力”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二下·盐城市七校联考·期中） Some people might confidently declare, “I am a highly creative person.” While other may unwillingly admit that creativity is not their strength. 16 So, if you’ve ever thought you’re not a creative person, it may be time to reconsider. We often hold a fixed idea that creativity means being able to come up with new ideas. Traditionally, this was measured through tests like “think of as many uses as possible for this brick.” However, it’s not merely about quantity. 17 In a refreshing shift, today’s creativity assessments have developed beyond mere tests to descriptive tests. 18 Then they are asked to describe them and show their originality and depth of storytelling. Creative minds tend to do well in inventing unexpected plot twists, exploring character motives, and including conflicts that add depth. We’ve been discussing creativity in its classical sense, often associated with divergent thinking (发散思维) — the ability to generate ideas or solutions that didn’t exist before. Another equally significant type of thinking is convergent thinking (聚合思维), which is also considered closely connected to creativity. 19 Those with convergent thinking often possess extensive knowledge, viewing things from different angles and combining diverse points of view. 20 Whether you tend towards divergent or convergent thinking, or even both, you have your own set of skills and thought processes. Just dig into the potential within and recognize the creative force that exists in you. And remember your skills can be improved through constant learning. A．Participants are presented with some scenes. B．They often rely on the ideas of others to find solutions. C．Therefore, creativity is more than about producing ideas. D．It involves the combination of existing ideas in new ways. E．The standard lies in the originality and significance of the ideas. F．In a word, your unique thinking style contributes to rich creativity. G．However, new studies challenge the belief that creativity is inborn. 【答案】16．G 17．E 18．A 19．D 20．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们对创造力的传统认知，如今创造力评估方式的转变，还提到聚合思维与创造力的联系，鼓励挖掘自身创造力。 16．上文“Some people might confidently declare, ‘I am a highly creative person.’ While other may unwillingly admit that creativity is not their strength.(有些人可能会自信地宣称：“我是一个极有创造力的人。”而另一些人可能会不情愿地承认创造力不是他们的强项)”表明人们对于创造力有固有认知，认为它是与生俱来的。G选项“However, new studies challenge the belief that creativity is inborn.(然而，新的研究挑战了创造力是天生的这一观点)”与上文形成转折，引出下文对创造力并非天生的论述，上下文衔接自然。故选G项。 17．上文“We often hold a fixed idea that creativity means being able to come up with new ideas. Traditionally, this was measured through tests like ‘think of as many uses as possible for this brick.’ However, it’s not merely about quantity.(我们常常有一个固定的观念，认为创造力意味着能够想出新点子。传统上，这是通过像“尽可能多地想出这块砖的用途”这样的测试来衡量的。然而，这不仅仅关乎数量)”指出创造力不只是想出新点子的数量。E选项“The standard lies in the originality and significance of the ideas.(标准在于这些想法的独创性和重要性)”进一步说明创造力的衡量标准，与上文衔接紧密。故选E项。 18．下文“Then they are asked to describe them and show their originality and depth of storytelling.(然后他们被要求描述它们，并展示他们故事的独创性和深度)”说明先有事物让参与者去描述。A选项“Participants are presented with some scenes.(参与者会看到一些场景)”符合语境，其中“scenes”就是下文“them”指代的对象。故选A项。 19．上文“Another equally significant type of thinking is convergent thinking (聚合思维), which is also considered closely connected to creativity.(另一种同样重要的思维方式是聚合思维，它也被认为与创造力密切相关)”引出聚合思维与创造力的关系。D选项“It involves the combination of existing ideas in new ways.(它涉及以新的方式组合现有的想法)”解释了聚合思维的含义，与上文衔接合理。故选D项。 20．下文“Whether you tend towards divergent or convergent thinking, or even both, you have your own set of skills and thought processes.(无论你倾向于发散思维还是聚合思维，甚至两者兼具，你都有自己的一套技能和思维过程)”表明不同的思维方式都有创造力。F选项“In a word, your unique thinking style contributes to rich creativity.(总之，你独特的思维方式有助于丰富的创造力)”总结上文，点明每个人有独特的思维方式，且有自己的创造力，与下文“Whether you tend towards divergent or convergent thinking, or even both”相照应。故选F项。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高二下·江苏宿迁市泗阳县·期中） Career planning is a vital step towards achieving success and fulfillment in our lives. As we enter the workforce, it is important to have a clear understanding of our strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and to develop a plan to achieve them. 36 Self-assessment is the first and most crucial step in career planning. 37 We need to take a close look at our skills, interests, and values, and identify the careers that align with them.

Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. 36 Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. Both language and music have a writing system. In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters. Similarly, we use notes (音符) to keep a record of music. Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. 37 By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. We can read the ideas or hear the composition (作品) of someone who lived hundreds of years ago. 38 You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. Both share emotion. 39 Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can sound angry, sad or happy. Music can show you exactly how the composer was or is feeling, and allows us to share that emotion. When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. 40 I think we have all used music to express or process our emotions, often combining it with language in the form of song lyrics (歌词). A．Both are expressive. B．Similarly, music is part of many people's lives. C．So just as you read English, you can read music. D．We use language to express our thoughts. E．In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. F．How do you know that I am angry? G．Both vary with culture. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．G 39．F 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了语言和音乐在我们的文化中都扮演着重要的角色，两者有着多个相似之处；有书写系统，依附于各自的文化、能分享情感。 36．根据上文“Language is part of our daily lives, no matter where we live in the world. (无论我们生活在世界的哪个角落，语言都是我们日常生活的一部分。)”和下文“Both language and music play a huge role in our culture and here are some of their similarities. (语言和音乐在我们的文化中都扮演着重要的角色，以下是它们的一些相似之处。)”可知，上文指出语言是我们日常生活的一部分，后文说语言和音乐在文化中都扮演着重要的作用。由此可知，音乐和语言一样——是日常生活的一部分。B项“Similarly, music is part of many people’s lives. (同样，音乐也是许多人生活的一部分)”符合题意，承接上下文。故选B项。 37．根据上文“In English we record language using the alphabet, which is a collection of letters.((在英语中，我们用字母表记录语言，字母表是字母的集合。)”和“Musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. (音乐家们阅读音符，并以音乐的形式创造意义)”可知，英语是一种以字母记录的语言，音乐是音符组成的篇章，也有可读性。C项“So just as you read English, you can read music.(所以就像你读英语一样，你也可以读音乐)”，音乐也可以像英语一样进行阅读，上下文衔接连贯。故选C项。 38．空处为本段小标题。根据下文“You can make a good guess at where someone is from by listening to the language he uses. In the same way, we know that styles of music are different around the world, giving us the opportunity to explore many different cultures through their music and providing us with music for every situation. (你可以通过听一个人使用的语言来猜测他来自哪里。同样，我们知道世界各地的音乐风格是不同的，这让我们有机会通过他们的音乐来探索许多不同的文化，并为我们提供适合各种情况的音乐。)”可知，音乐和语言一样都承载了很多不同的文化。G项“Both vary with culture. (两者都带着各种各样的文化)”，both指代下文的language和music，可以作为小标题。故选G项。 39．根据小标题“Both share emotion. (双方共享情感)”可知，本段和情绪有关。F项“How do you know that I am angry? (你怎么知道我生气了？)”符合题意，且与下文“Of course you may be able to see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. (你当然可以从我的脸上看出来，但你也一定会通过我的话知道。)”承接F项，是对选项问题的回答。故选F项。 40．根据上文“When you feel happy, you might want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate your happiness. (当你感到快乐的时候，你可能想跟着快乐的歌曲唱歌跳舞来庆祝你的快乐)”可知，快乐的时候，想听令人快乐的歌曲。由此推知，下文陈述，当不快乐的时候，可能想听悲伤的音乐。E项“In contrast, you probably also listen to sad music when you are feeling down. (相反，当你情绪低落时，你可能也会听悲伤的音乐。)”，与上文形成对比。故选E项。 主题02 人与社会——历史、社会与文化——对社会有突出贡献的人物 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二下·盐城市七校联考·期中） Some people might confidently declare, “I am a highly creative person.” While other may unwillingly admit that creativity is not their strength. 16 So, if you’ve ever thought you’re not a creative person, it may be time to reconsider.

The aim is to create an environment that limits the disturbance caused by these devices during lessons. “There is increasing evidence that mobile phones have a harmful effect during lessons.   36 For this reason, mobile phones, as well as tablets and smartwatches, will no longer be allowed in classrooms from January 1, 2024,” the government said. 37 For example, they may be allowed during lessons focusing on digital skills, for medical purposes, or for individuals with disabilities who rely on such devices. “Even though mobile phones are closely related to our lives, they do not belong in the classroom,” education minister Robbert Dijkgraaf said in a statement. “Students need to concentrate and need to be given the opportunity to study well. Mobile phones will disturb them, scientific research shows. 38 ” “The ban is the result of an agreement between the ministry, schools, and related organizations. Schools can find their own way to organize the ban,” Dijkgraaf added, “ 39 ” A similar ban was introduced in France in 2018 for primary and middle schools to improve focus and prevent online violence. 40 In most cases, mobile phones are already banned for the majority of the school day, said the UK government. A．We need to protect students against this. B．However, laws will follow if the results are not good enough. C．And parents will also have to follow the rule.
