专题05 阅读理解（七选五） 主题01 人与自我 —— 生活管理与自我提升 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东深圳·期中）If you want to take pictures of a solar eclipse (日食) with your mobile phone, your big shot is coming up on October 2. You’ll be able to catch an annular solar eclipse. 1 And you don’t get many chances. But with the right preparation, you can still take pretty good pictures. Get a tripod (三脚架). The steadiness of a tripod is especially important if you are taking video of the event. However, even if you’re going for photos, a tripod will help prevent the blurriness of a handheld shot. Eclipses don’t happen everyday. 2 Plan and practice in advance. The un-eclipsed sun has the same brightness as the edges of the sun that will appear during an eclipse. You can use that to adjust your filter and the exposure and focus settings on your phone. 3 You want to go full manual (手动的) here. 4 You can’t use regular sunglasses to view an eclipse safely. You should only use glasses that are specifically designed for solar eclipse viewing. If you have an old pair of eclipse viewing glasses, make sure they’re fully intact. Just throw them out if they’re damaged in any way. Take pictures of more than just the eclipse. The eclipse is the main event, but photographing everything around the eclipse might result in more interesting shots. Some ideas: Take photos that highlight the changing nature of the light as the big moment approaches. 5 . Take a selfie with the eclipse in the background. Take some shots of the wonder on your child’s face as they watch the sun disappear. A．Practice makes perfect. B．Avoid using damaged solar eclipse glasses. C．Bring with you any available viewing glasses. D．Don’t rely on your phone’s automatic settings. E．Therefore, you don’t want to mess it up by going handheld. F．Take pictures of the people you’re watching the eclipse with. G．An eclipse is among the most challenging things to photograph. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．D 4．B 5．F 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章给想用手机拍摄日食照片的人提供了一系列拍摄准备和拍摄建议。 1．下文“And you don’t get many chances. But with the right preparation, you can still take pretty good pictures.(你不会有很多机会。但只要准备得当，你仍然可以拍出很好的照片。)”说明拍摄日食的机会不多，但准备充分仍可拍出好照片，选项G“日食是最难拍摄的事物之一。”引出下文，拍摄日食的机会不多。故选G项。 2．上文“However, even if you’re going for photos, a tripod will help prevent the blurriness of a handheld shot. Eclipses don’t happen everyday.(然而，即使你要去拍照，三脚架也有助于防止手持拍摄的模糊。日食并不是每天都发生的。)”说明手持拍摄容易造成图像模糊，选项E“因此，你不想因手持拍摄而搞砸。”承接上文，进一步说明用三脚架的必要性。故选E项。 3．上文“Plan and practice in advance. The un-eclipsed sun has the same brightness as the edges of the sun that will appear during an eclipse. You can use that to adjust your filter and the exposure and focus settings on your phone.(提前计划和练习。未被遮蔽的太阳与日食期间出现的太阳边缘具有相同的亮度。您可以使用它来调整手机上的滤镜以及曝光和对焦设置。)”建议提前调整手机设置，下文“You want to go full manual (手动的) here.(你想在这里完全手动。)”说明需用手动模式，选项D“不要依赖手机的自动设置。”承上启下，衔接上下文，要手动调整手机的拍照相关设置，不要依赖手机的自动装置，强调手动操作的必要性。故选D项。 4．下文“You can’t use regular sunglasses to view an eclipse safely. You should only use glasses that are specifically designed for solar eclipse viewing. If you have an old pair of eclipse viewing glasses, make sure they’re fully intact. Just throw them out if they’re damaged in any way.(你不能用普通的太阳镜安全地观看日食。你应该只使用专门为观看日食而设计的眼镜。如果你有一副旧的日食观测眼镜，确保它们完好无损。如果它们有任何损坏，就把它们扔掉。)”说明安全观看日食的眼镜很重要，损坏的日食观测眼镜不能用，选项B“避免使用破损的日食眼镜。”引出下文，是对下文的概括。故选B项。 5．上文“Take pictures of more than just the eclipse. The eclipse is the main event, but photographing everything around the eclipse might result in more interesting shots. Some ideas: Take photos that highlight the changing nature of the light as the big moment approaches.(不要只拍日食的照片。日食是主要事件，但拍摄日食周围的一切可能会产生更有趣的镜头。一些建议：当重要时刻临近时，拍摄一些能突出光线变化性质的照片。)”说明要拍摄日食外的其他场景，下文“Take a selfie with the eclipse in the background. Take some shots of the wonder on your child’s face as they watch the sun disappear.(以日食为背景来张自拍。当你的孩子看着太阳消失时，给他们脸上的惊奇拍几张照片。)”说明要进行自拍和拍摄孩子的表情，选项F“拍摄和你一起看日食的人。”衔接上下文，不要只拍日食的照片，还要自拍和拍摄孩子表情的照片，故选F项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东·期中）In today’s world, where bright smiles are highly valued, maintaining healthy teeth is essential for both confidence and overall well-being.

Maybe they are in a difficult relationship, working in an unfulfilling job, or they’re just tired of going through the motions. If you feel purposeless, it’s time for a change. 11 First, identify the cause by evaluating your life. Ask yourself: Do my relationships benefit me? Am I where I want to be? Are my values reflected in my lifestyle? Once you have figured out what’s wrong, take action. 12 If you’re not where you want to be, make a plan. If your values aren’t reflected, transform your lifestyle. Another important aspect is your physical environment. One of the signs of feeling stuck in life is that you live in a messy environment. 13 Give your apartment a good clean, throw out, or donate items that you don’t need. Once you tidy up your living space, it will be easier for you to work on getting unstuck. 14 Don’t push yourself too hard by setting large goals. Instead, set small ones to help build your confidence and prepare yourself for the major changes you need to make. A small goal might be to spend ten minutes reflecting for one week or to read five pages of a book for a week. Refreshing your life requires taking intentional actions. Through self-reflection and making changes, you will slowly improve your life. It is important to note that you won’t see immediate progress. 15 Each small step that you take contributes to positive change and a more meaningful and fulfilling life. A．It’s also crucial to set small goals. B．If relationships aren’t serving you, walk away. C．Here are three tips to get unstuck and refresh your life. D．Focusing on one goal at a time can help you stay motivated. E．Therefore, you will need to exercise patience during this time. F．If you want to change and grow, step outside your comfort zone.

It’s a reaction to the fast-paced, hyper-connected lifestyle that many of us lead. Slow living is not about laziness or doing nothing; it’s about consciously choosing to live a more balanced, meaningful life. 16 One of the key aspects of slow living is savoring the present moment. In a world filled with distractions, it’s easy to get caught up in the future or dwell on the past. 17 This could mean taking a few minutes each day to simply observe your surroundings, noticing the colors of the sky, the sound of the wind, or the texture of a piece of fruit as you eat it. Another important element is reducing consumption. In today’s consumer-driven society, we’re constantly bombarded with messages to buy more, upgrade more, and consume more. 18 Instead, it encourages us to buy quality over quantity, to repair and reuse items, and to support local and sustainable businesses. 19 In our rush to get things done, we often sacrifice sleep, exercise, and healthy eating. Slow living reminds us to prioritize our well-being. This might mean going for a walk-in nature instead of spending hours in front of a screen, or cooking a home-made meal from scratch instead of ordering takeout. Finally, slow living is about building deeper connections. 20 It encourages us to spend more time with loved ones, to engage in face-to-face conversations, and to be part of our local communities. A．Slow living challenges this mindset. B．It’s about finding joy in the simple things. C．We often communicate more with people online than in person. D．Slow living emphasizes the importance of self-care. E．Fast living has both advantages and disadvantages. F．But slow living encourages us to be fully present in our daily lives. G．Many people are now turning to meditation to achieve inner peace. 【答案】16．B 17．F 18．A 19．D 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“慢生活”展开，阐述了其是对快节奏生活的回应，还介绍了慢生活在品味当下、减少消费、关注自我和建立联系等方面的要点。 16．前文提到“Slow living is not about laziness or doing nothing; it’s about consciously choosing to live a more balanced, meaningful life.(慢生活不是懒惰或无所事事，而是有意识地选择过一种更加平衡、有意义的生活)”，强调慢生活是追求有意义的生活。B选项“It’s about finding joy in the simple things.(它是关于在简单的事情中找到乐趣)”进一步解释了慢生活的意义，即从简单事物中获得快乐，与前文对慢生活的定义相呼应，上下文语意衔接自然。故选B项。 17．前文指出“In a world filled with distractions, it’s easy to get caught up in the future or dwell on the past.(在一个充满干扰的世界里，我们很容易陷入对未来的憧憬或对过去的纠结中)”，说明人们容易忽略当下。后文“This could mean taking a few minutes each day to simply observe your surroundings(这可能意味着每天花几分钟来简单地观察周围的环境)”则强调要关注当下。F选项“But slow living encourages us to be fully present in our daily lives.(但慢生活鼓励我们在日常生活中充分活在当下)”起到了承上启下的作用，既承接上文人们容易忽略当下的情况，又引出下文关注当下的具体做法。故选F项。 18．前文提到“In today’s consumer driven society, we’re constantly bombarded with messages to buy more, upgrade more, and consume more.(在当今这个消费驱动的社会里，我们不断地被各种信息轰炸，让我们买得更多、升级得更多、消费得更多)”，描述了消费社会的现状。后文“Instead, it encourages us to buy quality over quantity, to repair and reuse items, and to support local and sustainable businesses.(相反，它鼓励我们重质不重量，修理和重复使用物品，并支持本地和可持续发展的企业)”则提出了慢生活在消费方面的理念。A选项“Slow living challenges this mindset.(慢生活挑战了这种思维方式)”能够很好地衔接上下文，表明慢生活与消费社会的常规思维不同，引出后文慢生活的消费理念。故选A项。 19．后文提到“Slow living reminds us to prioritize our well being.(慢生活提醒我们要优先考虑自己的幸福)”，强调慢生活对自我幸福的重视。D选项“Slow living emphasizes the importance of self care.(慢生活强调自我关怀的重要性)”与后文内容相呼应，点明了该部分要阐述的慢生活在关注自我方面的要点。故选D项。 20．前文提到“Finally, slow living is about building deeper connections.(最后，慢生活是关于建立更深厚的联系)”，说明慢生活注重人际关系。后文“It encourages us to spend more time with loved ones, to engage in face to face conversations, and to be part of our local communities.(它鼓励我们花更多时间与亲人在一起，进行面对面的交流，并融入我们的当地社区)”进一步说明了建立联系的方式。C选项“We often communicate more with people online than in person.(我们经常与人们在网上交流的时间比面对面交流的时间更多)”指出了当下人们在交流方面的现状，与后文慢生活鼓励面对面交流形成对比，从而引出慢生活在建立人际关系方面的倡导。故选C项。 Passage 5 （24-25高二下·广东省茂名市信宜市·期中）How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. 21 They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks, there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body. Accept what you dislike about your body while loving it overall. 22 It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it. Be able to compartmentalize (隔开) to a degree by loving your body overall, even when you know it’s imperfect. Practice positive self-talk. If you feel bad about yourself, you may find yourself putting yourself down a lot. You may engage in negative self-talk, which means you find yourself saying things to yourself like, “I can’t believe how fat you are” throughout the day. Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. 23 Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. 24 Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. 25 If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. Seek out friends and family members who are positive. Try to spend time with people who feel good about their bodies and are generally positive. A．Turn to people around you for help. B．Surround yourself with supportive people. C．People have things about their bodies they dislike. D．Eating aims to give you a good mood instead of making you look good. E．People read a huge number of messages about beauty standards every year. F．You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run. G．Eating right can help you feel better about yourself, but do so with the right attitude. 【答案】21．E 22．C 23．F 24．G 25．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何减少对自身外貌的不满。 21．根据上文“If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone.(如果你对自己的外表感到不安，你并不孤单)”可知，很多人对自己的外表感到不安。下文“They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity.(它们很容易导致不安全感)”指出了有些事情导致这种不安。由此可知，E. People read a huge number of messages about beauty standards every year.(人们每年都会阅读大量关于美丽标准的信息)符合语境，空后they指代beauty standards。故选E项。 22．根据下文“It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it.(期望自己在任何时候都爱自己身体的一切是不现实的。学会接受你不喜欢的东西，不要过于关注它)”可知，时时刻刻爱自己身体的一切是不现实的，言外之意就是，人们对于自己的身体，总是有不喜欢的部分。由此可知，C. People have things about their bodies they dislike.(人们对于自己的身体，总是有不喜欢的地方)符合语境。故选C项。 23．根据本段首句即主旨句“Practice positive self-talk.(练习积极的自我对话)”及空前“Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk.(试着用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话)”可知，本段落建议要用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话，自己肯定自己，赞美自己。由此可知，F. You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run.(一开始你可能会觉得不自然，但从长远来看，这会提高你的自我价值感)符合语境，介绍了对自己积极对话的好处。故选F项。 24．该题为段中句，根据上文“Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies.(为你的身体提供营养。许多低自尊的人试图通过节食或健康饮食来改变他们的身体)”及下文“Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change.(把健康饮食看作是滋养身体的一种方式，而不是强迫身体改变的一种方式)”可知，该段落主要讲要给身体足够的营养，健康饮食是给身体提供营养的方式，而不是强迫你改变你的身体。言外之意，健康饮食这一行为本身是好的，但是背后的动机或态度也要是好的。由此可知，G. Eating right can help you feel better about yourself, but do so with the right attitude.(正确的饮食可以让你感觉更好，但要有正确的态度)符合语境。故选G项。 25．空处为主旨句，应该概括整段内容。根据下文“If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. Seek out friends and family members who are positive. Try to spend time with people who feel good about their bodies and are generally positive.(如果你对自己感觉不好，支持是很重要的。寻找积极的朋友和家人。试着花时间和那些对自己的身体感觉良好的人在一起，通常是积极的)”可知，本段主要建议寻求身边人支持。由此可知，B. Surround yourself with supportive people.(和支持你的人在一起)符合语境，supportive people很好地概括了这一点。故选B项。 Passage 6 （24-25高二下·广东省广州市第六十五中学·期中）Most Americans eat ultraprocessed (深加工的) foods every day. These are foods that you cannot make at home because they contain flavors and chemicals that change the taste or feel of the food. They are usually high in salt, sugar and fat. 26 Being overweight is one such result and that may lead to diabetes and heart disease. Other possible health risks include depression and dementia. One recent study suggested that eating these foods may raise the risk of early death. Food manufacturers argue that processing increases food safety and food supplies. 27 But many studies suggest that diets high in ultraprocessed foods are tied to poor health results. For example, in one study, people eating ultraprocessed food gained an average of about 1 kilogram during the study period. 28 Dr. Neena, director of a food policy program, said such foods are often made to be both low-cost and very tasty. “You just can, t stop eating them,” she said. 29 They can make regulations and rules to limit salt in these foods and control how advertisers sell the foods to children. Neena suggests buyers should check information printed on food containers and make choices based on the current state guidelines. 30 Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables which are least processed do us good, though they may not taste delicious. A．It also provides a diverse and nutritious diet easily. B．For example, food with added sugar isn’t great for us. C．Eating such foods may lead directly to poor health results. D．A small study was carried out at a health center for a month. E．Leaders should make full use of their power to change policies. F．Whole-grain bread and yogurt are highly processed, but nutritious. G．People eating only unprocessed foods during the time lost about 1 kilogram. 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．G 29．E 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍受人们喜爱的深加工食品对身体的危害，以及人们该如何避开这些食物，保护自己的饮食安全。 26．由下文“Being overweight is one such result and that may lead to diabetes and heart disease. Other possible health risks include depression and dementia. One recent study suggested that eating these foods may raise the risk of early death.(超重就是这样一个结果，可能会导致糖尿病和心脏病。其他可能的健康风险包括抑郁症和痴呆症。最近的一项研究表明，吃这些食物可能会增加早逝的风险。)”可知，本段说的是食用深加工食品的危害，而C项Eating such foods may lead directly to poor health results.(吃这些食物可能会直接导致不良的健康结果。)符合语境，对本段有总括作用，其中poor health results与下文例举的疾病对应。故选C项。 27．由上文“Food manufacturers argue that processing increases food safety and food supplies.(食品制造商认为，深加工可以提高食品安全和食品供应。)”可知，这里是食品加工商为自己的行为辩解，说深加工食品有助于食品安全，而A项It also provides a diverse and nutritious diet easily.(它还可以轻松提供多样化和营养丰富的饮食。)符合语境，都是食品加工商为自己的行为辩解的理由，其中it代指上文processing，有承上作用。故选A项。 28．由上文“For example, in one study, people eating ultraprocessed food gained an average of about 1 kilogram during the study period.(例如，在一项研究中，食用超加工食品的人在研究期间平均体重增加了约1公斤。)”可知，吃深度加工食品的人会长胖，而G项People eating only unprocessed foods during the time lost about 1 kilogram.(在此期间，只吃未加工食品的人减掉了约1公斤。)符合语境，与上文形成对比。故选G项。 29．由下文“They can make regulations and rules to limit salt in these foods and control how advertisers sell the foods to children.(他们可以制定法规和规则来限制这些食物中的盐，并控制广告商如何向儿童出售这些食物。)”可知，这里具体说明制定政策的人能从哪些方面去限制深加工食品对人们的影响，而E项Leaders should make full use of their power to change policies.(领导者应该充分利用自己的权力来改变政策。)符合语境，其中Leaders 与下文They对应，有启下作用。故选E项。 30．由上文“Neena suggests buyers should check information printed on food containers and make choices based on the current state guidelines.(Neena建议买家应该检查食品容器上打印的信息，并根据当前的州指导方针做出选择。)”可知，这里建议买家应该检查食品容器上打印的信息，而B项For example, food with added sugar isn’t great for us.(例如，添加糖的食物对我们来说并不好。)符合语境，就上文怎么用食品内容信息来鉴别食品的好坏进行了举例说明。故选B项。 Passage 7 （24-25高二下·广东省深圳外国语学校·期中）The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. 31 It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! 32 Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.   33 The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge 34 You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. 35 A．Decide acceptable purchases. B．What is a no-spend challenge? C．There should be no quick-fix approach. D．When will you start your no-spend challenge? E．Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F．Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G．A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 【答案】31．F 32．B 33．A 34．G 35．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过不花钱的挑战来省钱。 31．根据上文“The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff.(你花的越少，存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单，但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯，有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! (这有点像速成减肥法，不过是以一种好的方式！)”可知，上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多，因为花钱是习惯，推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式，故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境，故选F。 32．根据本段内容“Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”，但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟，你不想在账单上落后，而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期，一个月，甚至一整年)”可知，本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”，即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战？”符合语境，故选B。 33．根据上文“If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西，那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货，是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果，不行。而且，没有新iPhone，即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋，即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知，上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的，但是额外的开支不可以，故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境，故选A。 34．根据下文“You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知，下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金，推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境，故选G。 35．根据上文“While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的，但你可以扩展挑战)”可知，上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处，本句为本段最后一句，推测是建议采取这种生活方式，来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢？”符合语境，故选E。 主题02 人与社会 —— 文化传承与旅游发展 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东肇庆·期中）There are many poems about autumn and, to be honest, a lot of them sound the same. 36 But William Butler Yeats’s poetry makes a difference: his poem about swans, one of the greatest poems that this great Irish poet ever wrote, brings new life to the autumn poems. He does this with clear imagery (意象). 37 Swans had been there throughout the time that Yeats had spent at Coole Park, the home of his supporter Lady Gregory. Yeats’s point about the swans is that they, unlike a man, never grow old. Whenever he sees the swans, no matter how old he is, he tries and fails to count them. Before he has done the counting, they rise up from the still lake, “And scatter wheeling in great broken rings. Upon their clamorous wings.” It’s a great and clear image. 38 39 But we guess that he does not have their great passion and energy. His heart, perhaps, has grown cold, unlike the pairs bf lover swans who swim together on the water surface or climb the air when they take off and fly. Another important feature of the poem is that Yeats knows the swans are mysterious and beautiful. They are mysterious because they are not humans. Their life is different from ours. Their reality is not our reality. 40 A．Yeats does not really talk about how different he is from the swans. B．Yeats is considered to be the greatest poet of all time. C．The main image of the poem is the view of the swans in the title — The Wild Swans at Coole. D．You can almost hear Yeats’s exclaiming (感叹) as he sees the swans' sudden movements. E．Swans have been a common topic for brilliant poets. F．Read a lot of them for a while and you will soon be bored! G．But the poet, inspired by what he sees, is moved to think about them and life in a new way. 【答案】36．F 37．C 38．D 39．A 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了叶芝关于天鹅的诗区别于其他秋日诗歌，通过清晰意象描绘天鹅，引发诗人对生命等的思考，还提及诗中天鹅的神秘。 36．上文“There are many poems about autumn and, to be honest, a lot of them sound the same. (有很多关于秋天的诗，说实话，很多都听起来很相似。)”说明秋天的诗歌同质化严重。 空处和前文为因果顺接关系，需进一步阐述同质化带来的结果，并和下文“But William Butler Yeats's poetry makes a difference: his poem about swans, one of the greatest poems that this great Irish poet ever wrote, brings new life to the autumn poems.( 但威廉·巴特勒·叶芝的诗歌却独树一帜：他关于天鹅的诗作是这位伟大的爱尔兰诗人所创作的最伟大的诗篇之一，为秋日诗歌注入了新的生命力。)”形成转折关系，引出本文的主题。 F项“读上一段时间，你很快就会感到厌倦！” 符合语境，该项中的“a lot of them”指代上文中的“many poems”，直接承接 “诗歌相似” 的特点，点明读者的感受，逻辑连贯。故选F。 37．上文“He does this with clear imagery (意象). (他通过清晰的意象来做到这一点)” 说明叶芝诗歌运用意象的特点。 空处和前文为举例解释关系，需具体说明诗中的核心意象。 C项“这首诗的主要意象是标题中的天鹅 ——《库尔的野天鹅》。” 符合语境，紧扣“意象”话题，引出诗中具体的天鹅意象，“the view of the swans in the title—The Wild Swans at Coole”与后文“Swans had been there throughout the time that Yeats had spent at Coole Park”形成呼应。故选C。 38．上文“Whenever he sees the swans, no matter how old he is, he tries and fails to count them. Before he has done the counting, they rise up from the still lake, “And scatter wheeling in great broken rings. Upon their clamorous wings.” It’s a great and clear image. (无论何时，只要他看到那些天鹅，无论自己年岁几何，他都会试着去数一数，却总是数不清楚。还没等他数完，天鹅们便从平静的湖面腾空而起，“它们成群结队、盘旋纷飞，形成巨大而不规则的圆环，振翅之声喧嚣不已。”这是一幅极为生动且清晰的画面。)”描述了天鹅从静止的湖面飞起的景象。空处和前文为画面延伸关系，需强化读者对意象的感官体验。D项“你几乎能听到叶芝看到天鹅突然举动时的感叹声。”符合语境，通过“听觉”联想补充视觉画面，让读者更身临其境，符合“清晰意象”的描述。故选D。 39．下文“But we guess that he does not have their great passion and energy. (但我们猜想他没有它们那样伟大的激情和能量。)”中的but表转折，暗示前文应提及叶芝与天鹅的某种关联或对比。 空处和后文为转折关系，需先铺垫叶芝与天鹅的相似或未直接对比的内容。 A项“叶芝并未真正谈论他与天鹅的不同。”符合语境，下文转折后说叶芝没有天鹅的热情和活力，所以这里先说叶芝没有谈及自己和天鹅的不同。故选A。 40．上文“They are mysterious because they are not humans. Their life is different from ours. Their reality is not our reality. (它们神秘，因为它们不是人类。它们的生活与我们不同，它们的现实不是我们的现实。)”强调天鹅的神秘性与人类的差异。 空处和前文为因果或总结关系，需说明诗人对这种差异的回应。空处和前文为因果或总结关系，需说明诗人对这种差异的回应。 G项“但诗人受到所见之物的启发，开始以新的方式思考它们和生命。”符合语境，承接“天鹅的神秘性”，指出诗人因此获得灵感，从新角度思考生命，总结段落核心——天鹅的神秘性激发诗歌的深度。故选G。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东广雅中学·期中） 41 it is a new term in today’s tourism industry.

But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. 6 7 When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. 8 Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “ 9 ” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. 10 By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A．How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B．This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C．Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D．Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E．Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F．Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G．Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. 【答案】6．B 7．D 8．G 9．A 10．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些提高记忆力的有效策略，包括定期复习、运用联想记忆、保证睡眠和保持冷静、主动练习等。 6．根据上文“A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams.( 如果一个学生在课后、睡前、三天后再复习一遍数学公式，他会发现在考试时更容易记住。)”提到学生课后、睡前和三天后复习数学公式的例子，说明了间隔复习的方法。B选项“This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick.( 这种“间隔重复”能让记忆更牢固。)”中的“spaced repetition”与前文的复习方法相呼应，总结了这种间隔复习能使记忆留存的作用，故选B项。 7．根据后文内容“When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long.( 当背诵像“光合作用”这样的单词时，简单地重复拼写往往很快就会失败。相反，在阅读生物教科书时，想象阳光照射在绿叶上。它结合了文本、图像和现实世界的含义，同时激活了大脑的多个区域。同样，把“菠萝”和“带苹果的松树”联系起来，会产生一种有趣的印象，让人难以忘怀。)”通过举例说明将单词与具体的图像、实际意义相结合能更好地记忆，即通过上下文情境来加强记忆。D选项“Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones.( 上下文情境将薄弱且不确定的记忆转化为永久的记忆。)”符合该段主旨，总结该段内容，适合作为该段小标题。故选D项。 8．根据上文“During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late.( 在深度睡眠中，大脑会像图书管理员整理书籍一样重新组织白天的学习。研究表明，睡眠7-8小时的学生比那些熬夜的学生多记住40%的历史事实。)”提到睡眠对记忆的好处，该段主题是睡眠和冷静的头脑对记忆的作用。G选项“Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory.( 然而，感到压力会使大脑充斥着损害记忆的化学物质。)”与前文形成对比，说明压力对记忆的负面影响，强调了保持冷静的重要性。故选G项。 9．根据上文“Active practice beats passive reading.  Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions:( 主动练习胜过被动阅读。不要机械地重读笔记，把标题变成自我测试的问题：)”提到将标题转化为自我测试问题，A选项“How do I use this grammar rule in writing?( 我如何在写作中使用这个语法规则？)”是一个具体的自我测试问题的例子，符合“将标题转化为自我测试问题”这一策略。故选A项。 10．根据后文“By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time.( 通过间隔复习，建立生动的精神联系，照顾大脑的需要，你可以把暂时的知识变成终身的智慧——一次一小步，一步一步。)”可知，通过这些方法可以将临时知识转化为终身智慧，强调的是学习方法的重要性。E选项“Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter.( 掌握记忆不是在于学习时间更长，而是学习更明智。)”总结了全文，强调了运用有效策略提高记忆力，而不是单纯延长学习时间。故选E项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东省茂名市高新中学·期中）Life is filled with numerous ups and downs.

Dealing with a challenge shows your strengths, maybe some you didn’t even know that you had! This self-awareness helps develop a sense of purpose. It also helps improve performance and leads to better decision-making. It teaches you self-confidence. Completing a challenge shows you do have the capability to succeed. In other words, when things get difficult, you have the strength to continue forward, giving you a newfound sense of self-worth. 19 . It helps you learn new skills. If you want to improve your fitness, you challenge your body to become stronger, right? 20 ! Challenging yourself helps you learn new skills that you improve over time with commitment and practice. So find a goal that you feel crazy about. You’ll expand your mind as you learn new information and experience new situations. A．But it’s well worth it B．It develops self-awareness C．It helps you manage stress D．You can also train yourself to become resilient E．That same approach applies to just about anything F．You’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place G．You’ll carry that confidence as you face future challenges 【答案】16．A 17．D 18．B 19．G 20．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了做具有挑战性的事情的好处。 16．根据空前“Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower.(做一些具有挑战性的事情需要勇气，承诺和意志力)”及空后“Whether it’s finding your dream job, learning a new skill or starting a new wellness routine, you’ll grow and learn along the way.(无论是找到你梦想中的工作，学习一项新技能，还是开始一项新的健康计划，你都会在这个过程中成长和学习)”可知，上文指出做一些具有挑战性的事情的困难之处，下文提到这样做的好处。由此推知，虽然做一些具有挑战性的事情有困难，但是它是值得的，会带来好处，A项“但是这很值得”符合语境。故选A。 17．根据空前“Resilience isn’t just a fixed quality that you’re bon with.(适应力不只是你与生俱来的一种固定品质)”及空后“The key: set small, attainable goals that push you a little outside of your comfort zone but still within reach.(关键是：设定小的、可实现的目标，让你稍微走出舒适区，但仍在力所能及的范围内)”可知，上文指出适应力不是与生俱来的，下文提出具体的练习方法。由此推知，空处是说适应力是可以通过练习培养出来的，D项“你也可通过训练让自己有适应力”符合语境。故选D。 18．根据下文“You may not realize how  incredible you are until you overcome something difficult.

Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. 23 When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. 24 Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. 25 Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A．Many factors shape your body image. B．It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C．However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D．External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E．Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F．Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G．This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. 【答案】21．F 22．A 23．B 24．E 25．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了青春期身体形象的形成及影响因素。 21．由上文“During puberty (青春期), your body goes through many changes, and you start forming a body image — how you see, think, and feel about your body’s size, shape, and weight, or specific features like your nose.(在青春期，你的身体会经历许多变化，你开始形成一种身体意象 —— 你如何看待、思考和感受你身体的大小、形状和重量，或者像你的鼻子这样的特定特征)”及下文“For instance, you may believe your nose is too big or too small, even though it looks perfectly normal.(例如，你可能认为你的鼻子太大或太小，即使它看起来非常正常)”可知，本空应强调身体意象与现实的差异。F选项“令人惊讶的是，身体意象更多地是由你的想法而不是现实塑造的”强调了想法对身体意象的影响，引出下文对鼻子看法与现实不符的例子，能承上启下， 符合语境。故选F。 22．由下文“One major influence is peer (同龄人) pressure.

The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 31 It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for “home” are evolving. 32 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m(US)by 2023. While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 33 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 34 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking. It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals remain the same. 35 A．So is cooking a way to express yourself? B．The global average was almost 6.5 hours. C．But is our relationship to the kitchen changing? D．It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past. E．People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide. F．Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently.

People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. (处于较低端的是韩国人，他们每周仅花3.7小时做饭。印度人则处于顶端，每周在厨房花费13.2小时。)”可知，空处出做饭所花时间有关，与B项“The global average was almost 6.5 hours. (全球平均时间接近6.5小时。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 34．根据上文“Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. (无论厨房大小，它都是一个温暖而诱人的地方。)”可知，厨房是温暖且吸引人的地方，与D项“It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past.

Zoos can be important places for polar bear research. 36 The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans. However, tracking them is tricky due to their wide-range movement. The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers. 37 It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off. An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods. 38 They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt. 39 But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data. Additionally, it’s always a bonus to have one more way to track, understand — and hopefully help — these impressive white mammals of the north. To aid polar bears further, we must address the root cause:climate change. What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use. 40 A．Little things can indeed help a lot. B．But never underestimate the effect of climate change. C．Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females. D．As sea ice declines, polar bears spend more time on shore. E．The researchers had already suspected this is what they did. F．The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay. G．But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them. 【答案】36．G 37．C 38．F 39．E 40．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了北极熊研究面临的追踪难题，新的追踪方法及其意义，还提到了应对气候变化帮助北极熊的方法。 36．根据上文“Zoos can be important places for polar bear research(动物园可以成为北极熊研究的重要场所)”和下文“The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans(我们对全球变暖如何影响它们了解得越多，就越能更好地设计保护计划)”可知，此处需要一个句子来引出在野外观察北极熊对研究和保护它们的重要性。G选项“But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them.（但是在野外观察这些动物是研究和保护它们的最佳方式。）”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，故选G项。 37．根据上文“The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers(主要的追踪器类型是无线电项圈，像项链一样套在熊的脖子上。这个设备将位置信息发送回研究人员那里)”以及下文“It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off(把它们戴在小熊身上不安全——随着它们长大，项圈可能会变得太紧。而且雄性北极熊的头比脖子窄，所以项圈会直接滑落)”可知，此处应说明无线电项圈在使用对象上的局限性。C选项“Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females(不幸的是，这些项圈只对成年雌性北极熊有效)”符合语境，介绍了项圈的适用情况，故选C项。 38．根据上文“An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods(一个国际团队受到“毛发上的芒刺”想法的启发，开发了新的追踪方法。这个设备粘在熊的皮毛上，就像你在树林里散步后狗身上的芒刺一样)”和下文“They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt(他们发现，在温暖的月份里，这些动物在陆地上闲逛，很少活动，保存能量。随着温度下降，它们回到冰面上捕猎)”可知，上文说的是新的追踪方法，下文说的是对这些动物的观察情况，可推理出空白处表示的是研究人员使用这种设计来观察北极熊，与F选项“The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay(研究人员使用这种设计来观察哈德逊湾沿岸的北极熊)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 39．根据下文“But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data(但是用可靠的数据来证实这一点是非常宝贵的)”可知，上文说的是用可靠的数据来证实这一点是非常宝贵的，可推理出此处应提到研究人员之前已经有了某种推测。E选项“The researchers had already suspected this is what they did(研究人员已经怀疑它们就是这样做的)”表示的含义符合语境，故选E项。 40．根据上文“What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use(那么我们能做些什么呢？骑自行车上学，而不是让父母开车送你。设备充电后拔掉插头以节省能源。不用电脑和灯时把它们关掉)”可知，上文说的是诸如骑自行车上学、设备充电后拔掉插头以节省能源以及不用电脑和灯时把它们关掉等这些小事，可推理出此处应总结这些小事对帮助北极熊的作用。A选项“Little things can indeed help a lot(小事确实能帮上大忙)”符合语境，故选A项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） 主题01 人与自我 —— 生活管理与自我提升 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东深圳·期中）If you want to take pictures of a solar eclipse (日食) with your mobile phone, your big shot is coming up on October 2. You’ll be able to catch an annular solar eclipse. 1 And you don’t get many chances. But with the right preparation, you can still take pretty good pictures. Get a tripod (三脚架). The steadiness of a tripod is especially important if you are taking video of the event. However, even if you’re going for photos, a tripod will help prevent the blurriness of a handheld shot. Eclipses don’t happen everyday. 2 Plan and practice in advance. The un-eclipsed sun has the same brightness as the edges of the sun that will appear during an eclipse. You can use that to adjust your filter and the exposure and focus settings on your phone. 3 You want to go full manual (手动的) here. 4 You can’t use regular sunglasses to view an eclipse safely. You should only use glasses that are specifically designed for solar eclipse viewing. If you have an old pair of eclipse viewing glasses, make sure they’re fully intact. Just throw them out if they’re damaged in any way. Take pictures of more than just the eclipse. The eclipse is the main event, but photographing everything around the eclipse might result in more interesting shots. Some ideas: Take photos that highlight the changing nature of the light as the big moment approaches. 5 . Take a selfie with the eclipse in the background. Take some shots of the wonder on your child’s face as they watch the sun disappear. A．Practice makes perfect. B．Avoid using damaged solar eclipse glasses. C．Bring with you any available viewing glasses. D．Don’t rely on your phone’s automatic settings. E．Therefore, you don’t want to mess it up by going handheld. F．Take pictures of the people you’re watching the eclipse with. G．An eclipse is among the most challenging things to photograph. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东·期中）In today’s world, where bright smiles are highly valued, maintaining healthy teeth is essential for both confidence and overall well-being. Often, focusing on mental and physical health can sometimes overlook the significance of dental (牙齿的) health. However, a healthy smile plays a vital role in achieving personal greatness. 6 . Daily oral hygiene (卫生) Good oral health starts with daily care. 7 . It’s also important to keep gums healthy. Replace your toothbrush every three to four months and avoid brushing too hard to prevent enamel wear. 8 Visiting a dentist regularly for cleanings and whitening treatments can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth. Whitening toothpaste without bleaching effects can also help. For more permanent changes, consider dental aesthetic treatments, which can cover stains and repair broken teeth. Diet and lifestyle Avoid sugary foods and drinks to prevent plaque (牙菌斑) buildup and caries. 9 . Protecting your lips with lipsticks when exposed to the sun is also important for a complete healthy smile. Preventive measures Prevention is always better than cure. 10 . Using mouthwash daily can also help reduce bacteria and freshen breath. If you have any dental discomfort or notice changes in your teeth, don’t hesitate to visit a dentist. Taking preventive measures early can help avoid bigger dental problems later. A．Professional help B．Opt for healthier snacks like fruit C．Gathering information on the Internet D．Then you will know the importance of healthy teeth E．The article will discuss how to maintain dental health F．Brushing your teeth properly is essential for keeping teeth clean and strong G．Regular dental check-ups can help address potential issues before they become serious Passage 3 （24-25高二下·广东佛山·期中）Everyone will go through a phase where they feel stuck in life. Maybe they are in a difficult relationship, working in an unfulfilling job, or they’re just tired of going through the motions. If you feel purposeless, it’s time for a change. 11 First, identify the cause by evaluating your life. Ask yourself: Do my relationships benefit me? Am I where I want to be? Are my values reflected in my lifestyle? Once you have figured out what’s wrong, take action. 12 If you’re not where you want to be, make a plan. If your values aren’t reflected, transform your lifestyle. Another important aspect is your physical environment. One of the signs of feeling stuck in life is that you live in a messy environment. 13 Give your apartment a good clean, throw out, or donate items that you don’t need. Once you tidy up your living space, it will be easier for you to work on getting unstuck. 14 Don’t push yourself too hard by setting large goals. Instead, set small ones to help build your confidence and prepare yourself for the major changes you need to make. A small goal might be to spend ten minutes reflecting for one week or to read five pages of a book for a week. Refreshing your life requires taking intentional actions. Through self-reflection and making changes, you will slowly improve your life. It is important to note that you won’t see immediate progress. 15 Each small step that you take contributes to positive change and a more meaningful and fulfilling life. A．It’s also crucial to set small goals. B．If relationships aren’t serving you, walk away. C．Here are three tips to get unstuck and refresh your life. D．Focusing on one goal at a time can help you stay motivated. E．Therefore, you will need to exercise patience during this time. F．If you want to change and grow, step outside your comfort zone. G．This can have a negative effect on your mental health and make you feel worse. Passage 4 （24-25高二下·广东佛山·期中）In the modern world, the concept of “slow living” has been gaining traction. It’s a reaction to the fast-paced, hyper-connected lifestyle that many of us lead. Slow living is not about laziness or doing nothing; it’s about consciously choosing to live a more balanced, meaningful life. 16 One of the key aspects of slow living is savoring the present moment. In a world filled with distractions, it’s easy to get caught up in the future or dwell on the past. 17 This could mean taking a few minutes each day to simply observe your surroundings, noticing the colors of the sky, the sound of the wind, or the texture of a piece of fruit as you eat it. Another important element is reducing consumption. In today’s consumer-driven society, we’re constantly bombarded with messages to buy more, upgrade more, and consume more. 18 Instead, it encourages us to buy quality over quantity, to repair and reuse items, and to support local and sustainable businesses. 19 In our rush to get things done, we often sacrifice sleep, exercise, and healthy eating. Slow living reminds us to prioritize our well-being. This might mean going for a walk-in nature instead of spending hours in front of a screen, or cooking a home-made meal from scratch instead of ordering takeout. Finally, slow living is about building deeper connections. 20 It encourages us to spend more time with loved ones, to engage in face-to-face conversations, and to be part of our local communities. A．Slow living challenges this mindset. B．It’s about finding joy in the simple things. C．We often communicate more with people online than in person. D．Slow living emphasizes the importance of self-care. E．Fast living has both advantages and disadvantages. F．But slow living encourages us to be fully present in our daily lives. G．Many people are now turning to meditation to achieve inner peace. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·广东省茂名市信宜市·期中）How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. 21 They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks, there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body. Accept what you dislike about your body while loving it overall. 22 It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it. Be able to compartmentalize (隔开) to a degree by loving your body overall, even when you know it’s imperfect. Practice positive self-talk. If you feel bad about yourself, you may find yourself putting yourself down a lot. You may engage in negative self-talk, which means you find yourself saying things to yourself like, “I can’t believe how fat you are” throughout the day. Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. 23 Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. 24 Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. 25 If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. Seek out friends and family members who are positive. Try to spend time with people who feel good about their bodies and are generally positive. A．Turn to people around you for help. B．Surround yourself with supportive people. C．People have things about their bodies they dislike. D．Eating aims to give you a good mood instead of making you look good. E．People read a huge number of messages about beauty standards every year. F．You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run. G．Eating right can help you feel better about yourself, but do so with the right attitude. Passage 6 （24-25高二下·广东省广州市第六十五中学·期中）Most Americans eat ultraprocessed (深加工的) foods every day. These are foods that you cannot make at home because they contain flavors and chemicals that change the taste or feel of the food. They are usually high in salt, sugar and fat. 26 Being overweight is one such result and that may lead to diabetes and heart disease. Other possible health risks include depression and dementia. One recent study suggested that eating these foods may raise the risk of early death. Food manufacturers argue that processing increases food safety and food supplies. 27 But many studies suggest that diets high in ultraprocessed foods are tied to poor health results. For example, in one study, people eating ultraprocessed food gained an average of about 1 kilogram during the study period. 28 Dr. Neena, director of a food policy program, said such foods are often made to be both low-cost and very tasty. “You just can, t stop eating them,” she said. 29 They can make regulations and rules to limit salt in these foods and control how advertisers sell the foods to children. Neena suggests buyers should check information printed on food containers and make choices based on the current state guidelines. 30 Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables which are least processed do us good, though they may not taste delicious. A．It also provides a diverse and nutritious diet easily. B．For example, food with added sugar isn’t great for us. C．Eating such foods may lead directly to poor health results. D．A small study was carried out at a health center for a month. E．Leaders should make full use of their power to change policies. F．Whole-grain bread and yogurt are highly processed, but nutritious. G．People eating only unprocessed foods during the time lost about 1 kilogram. Passage 7 （24-25高二下·广东省深圳外国语学校·期中）The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. 31 It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! 32 Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.   33 The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge 34 You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. 35 A．Decide acceptable purchases. B．What is a no-spend challenge? C．There should be no quick-fix approach. D．When will you start your no-spend challenge? E．Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F．Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G．A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 主题02 人与社会 —— 文化传承与旅游发展 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东肇庆·期中）There are many poems about autumn and, to be honest, a lot of them sound the same. 36 But William Butler Yeats’s poetry makes a difference: his poem about swans, one of the greatest poems that this great Irish poet ever wrote, brings new life to the autumn poems. He does this with clear imagery (意象). 37 Swans had been there throughout the time that Yeats had spent at Coole Park, the home of his supporter Lady Gregory. Yeats’s point about the swans is that they, unlike a man, never grow old. Whenever he sees the swans, no matter how old he is, he tries and fails to count them. Before he has done the counting, they rise up from the still lake, “And scatter wheeling in great broken rings. Upon their clamorous wings.” It’s a great and clear image. 38 39 But we guess that he does not have their great passion and energy. His heart, perhaps, has grown cold, unlike the pairs bf lover swans who swim together on the water surface or climb the air when they take off and fly. Another important feature of the poem is that Yeats knows the swans are mysterious and beautiful. They are mysterious because they are not humans. Their life is different from ours. Their reality is not our reality. 40 A．Yeats does not really talk about how different he is from the swans. B．Yeats is considered to be the greatest poet of all time. C．The main image of the poem is the view of the swans in the title — The Wild Swans at Coole. D．You can almost hear Yeats’s exclaiming (感叹) as he sees the swans' sudden movements. E．Swans have been a common topic for brilliant poets. F．Read a lot of them for a while and you will soon be bored! G．But the poet, inspired by what he sees, is moved to think about them and life in a new way. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东广雅中学·期中） 41 it is a new term in today’s tourism industry. But in an age of growing environmental awareness, it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday. Ecotourism, which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism, is typically defined (定义) as travel to places where special and unusual plants, animals and cultural heritages (遗产) are the main attractions. 42 therefore, programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form a part of ecotourism. Ecotourism is developing at great speed. According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide. 43 They include bird watching, hiking, diving, photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events. 44 However, it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological, cultural and historical resources. Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing, natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists. People are attracted to nature and long to be close to it. However, a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable. 45 A．The definition of ecotourism is beyond words. B．It takes ecology (生态学) and culture into consideration. C．You may not be very familiar with “ecotourism”. D．More than 80 activities have been listed for ecotourism. E．People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism. F．Big cities are still the major places that attract tourists in our society today. G．How to protect natural resources while taking advantage of them is of great importance. 主题03 人与自然 —— 野外生存与自然适应 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东省东莞市光正实验学校·期中）While it is possible for you to survive in the wild with nothing, you’ll always be much better off with a bit of preparation. 46 . Learn how to find a survival shelter The most likely cause of death in the wild is not from having no food or water, but from getting too cold. 47 . A shelter in the wild could be a fallen tree with dry ground below it, or up against a rocky outcropping. You can make the natural shelter stronger by leaning branches against the main structure or other wastes. Learn something about the bow-drill (弓钻) The bow-drill is a very valuable survival skill for creating fire. It can be learned in a relatively short period of time, and has the highest possibility of succeeding. The hardest part of creating a bow-drill is the string (细绳). 48 , you’ll have the material needed to create a fire without worrying. Since it’s the easiest way to make fire by friction. Make a basic survival kit(工具包) 49 . Some of the important items in a survival kit include a strong sharp knife, a fishing line, a signal whistle, a scarf and a water bottle. 50 Learn about the poisonous plants as well as edibles (可食物). This can also help you choose the best location for a shelter. However, there is no shortcut to get plant knowledge. You must put your time and energy into learning it. You can do it through either websites or published resources. A．Find water for survival B．If you can master the survival skills C．Improve your skills by identifying the plants D．So your first need in a typical survival situation is shelter E．Here are some steps you can take to prepare yourself for survival situations F．If you always wear shoes with strong shoestrings when you’re in the woods G．A small amount of basic materials could make all the difference in a survival situation 主题01 人与自我 —— 自我管理与成长赋能 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东实验中学·期中）We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. 6 7 When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. 8 Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “ 9 ” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. 10 By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A．How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B．This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C．Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D．Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E．Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F．Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G．Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东省茂名市高新中学·期中）Life is filled with numerous ups and downs. How you deal with each situation matters. May it be your study life or a serious life struggle, we must learn to move on. 11 Draw a line mentally 12 What you can do is draw a mental line. This line will help you mark your future decisions. Everything that you faced till now was just a part of the problem and everything that comes after will be part of the solution. Use that mental page break to give yourself restored courage to be better. Learn from others When you start learning from others, you may notice the different patterns that made them successful. If people are truly free of their issues, they will be able to help you out. Humans are social beings. 13 Make sure that the interaction is actually beneficial in some way, and it should uplift your spirit, not bring you down. 14 In order to move on from every struggle, you must let go of the past. Negative feelings are always going to be counter-productive. The most critical and crucial thing that you need to do is look at the future and look forward to the new upcoming chapter of your life. Everyone makes mistakes. It is what makes us humans. A warm and encouraging tone will help you out. Do what actually works To get out of a struggle, you have to do what works right. However, most people get busy doing the things that don’t get them anywhere. In stressful situations, people force pain onto themselves. For example, many people resort to alcohol or smoking to relieve the stress, which just kills them slowly. In fact, living in reality to make sensible and favorable choices for you matters most. 15 A．Let go of the past. B．Learn from mistakes. C．You might always find yourself in a certain kind of dead ends. D．Here’s how you can create a new chapter in your life. E．Just do what is good for you. F．You need to have social interactions with others and learn from them. G．One common mistake many of us make is that we try to go through all of it on our own. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·广东省湛江市第二十一中学·期中）Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. 16 ! Whether it’s finding your dream job, learning a new skill or starting a new wellness routine, you’ll grow and learn along the way. So, step outside of your comfort zone and face the challenge. You’ll learn lessons that can transform your life. It builds your resilience (适应力). When you face something difficult, you can build your resilience.

Your friends might make casual jokes about your appearance, or you might compare yourself to them and feel they look better. Such experiences can harm the way you view yourself. Another powerful influence is the media, which often promotes a narrow, ideal body type. For example, if fair skin is portrayed as beautiful, you may feel insecure if you don’t match that ideal. Developing a negative body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as extreme dieting, overexercising, or even risky plastic surgeries. 23 When you focus too much on appearance, you may forget to appreciate other great things about yourself, such as your talents and personality. To build a positive body image, it’s essential to remember that no perfect body exists, as beauty standards are always changing. Models and celebrities may appear flawless in the media, but much of their appearance is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and editing. 24 Rather than focusing on appearances, value people for their true selves. By surrounding yourself with positive influences and avoiding comments on looks, you can redirect your attention from self-criticism. 25 Over time, you’ll build inner confidence and develop a healthier, more accepting relationship with your body. A．Many factors shape your body image. B．It also lowers your overall life satisfaction. C．However, your true beauty lies within your heart. D．External judgement can be a double-edged sword. E．Without these tricks, they are just as “imperfect” as everyone else. F．Surprisingly, body image is shaped more by your thoughts than by reality. G．This shift enables you to recognize and celebrate your talents and strengths. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东省惠州市东江高级中学·期中）While yoga is known for enhancing balance, flexibility, and calmness, it’s often considered less effective for weight loss than other exercises. However, even non-intense yoga sustains lasting calorie burning after practice. 26 . Here’s more about how yoga is a complete body and mind workout. Removing stress, Reducing pounds Yoga helps manage stress, and studies show high levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (荷尔蒙), can lead to an increase in fat. Yoga has an impact on the body’s stress response and reduces the production of hormones linked to weight again. 27 . In one study, researchers found that practicing yoga seemed to impact the hypothalamus (下丘脑), reducing cortisol production. And another study found that doing meditative (冥想的) yoga reduced participants’ cortisol levels. Making weight loss last Recent research shows long-term yoga aids weight loss and boosts cognitive skills for a positive mood. Jessica, a Brown University professor, led a study on yoga’s practicability of weight maintenance. 28 . Jessica adds that someone experiencing a more positive mood may be less likely to overeat in response to negative emotions, or may be able to get back on track more easily after an overeating period, versus feeling guilty about overeating and continuing to engage in unhealthy practices. 29 A study found no difference in weight loss totals for participants practicing a gentle yoga versus a more energetic yoga. The best yoga is the practice that fits for you. ‘There are many accessible styles of yoga that meet you where you’re no matter what your size, age, physical challenge or background. 30 . A．Practicing a gentle yoga B．Choosing the right type C．Everybody can benefit from a yoga practice D．There’s no one style of yoga that’s best for weight loss E．That’s because yoga’s other benefits can help with weight loss too F．Several studies have confirmed that doing yoga does reduce cortisol levels G．It shows yoga may enhance long-term weight loss via a more positive mood Passage3 （24-25高二下·广东省江门市培英高级中学·期中）In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence. The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 31 It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for “home” are evolving. 32 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m(US)by 2023. While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 33 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 34 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking. It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals remain the same. 35 A．So is cooking a way to express yourself? B．The global average was almost 6.5 hours. C．But is our relationship to the kitchen changing? D．It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past. E．People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide. F．Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently. G．The kitchen is where we connect with food and company in the soul of the home. 主题03 人与自然 —— 生态保护与自然探索 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·广东省广州市天河中学·期中）Visit a zoo, and you may love watching polar bears as they swim through a pool. Zoos can be important places for polar bear research. 36 The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them, the better we can design conservation plans. However, tracking them is tricky due to their wide-range movement. The main type of tracker has been a radio collar, attached like a necklace around the bear's neck. This device sends location information back to researchers. 37 It’s not safe to put them on younger bears — as they grow, the collar may get too tight. And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks, so the collars slide right off. An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr (芒刺) on fur” idea. The device stuck to the bears’ fur, like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods. 38 They found that in the warmer months, the animals hung out on land, moving little and conserving energy. As temperatures dropped, they returned to the ice to hunt. 39 But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data. Additionally, it’s always a bonus to have one more way to track, understand — and hopefully help — these impressive white mammals of the north. To aid polar bears further, we must address the root cause:climate change. What can we do then? Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you. Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy. Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use. 40 A．Little things can indeed help a lot. B．But never underestimate the effect of climate change. C．Unfortunately, the collars only work on adult females. D．As sea ice declines, polar bears spend more time on shore. E．The researchers had already suspected this is what they did. F．The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay. G．But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
