Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏扬州市邗江区·期中)
It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. 36 People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take, Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 37 In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course).
It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 38 But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. 39
Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? 40 Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice.
A.You’ll also find that you sleep better.
B.Even a simple smile can work wonders.
C.One essential factor is human relationships.
D.In the end, happiness comes from good sleep.
E.If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it.
F.Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material.
G.Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·江苏南通海安市·期中)
Next time you’re pushing through the burn of a workout, remember that exercise can also be a remedy (疗法). Research indicates that it serves as an effective approach to fighting chronic inflammation, particularly among those with physically inactive habits.
16 It can begin with an infection or injury but evolve into a lasting state. Then the immune system attacks healthy tissue gradually. This process raises disease risks and contributes to tiredness, depression, or brain fog.
The scientific evidence is clear that sedentary (久坐的) people tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared with people who exercise regularly. 17 Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against other chronic conditions.
While some findings highlight exercise’s anti-inflammatory power, maximizing its effects requires strategic approaches. 18 For example, a 20-minute walk or jog everyday regularly can spark temporary anti-inflammatory effects. Most moderate-intensity exercise reduces inflammation short-term, but sticking with it is key.
High-intensity exercise itself produces a temporary surge (激增) in inflammation. 19 For similar reasons, you should avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system.
If possible, prioritize strength training. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation. So strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. It is recommended that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week. 20 This combined approach not only builds muscle but also interrupts chronic inflammatory pathways.
A.So it’s important to properly heal between workouts.
B.Findings have confirmed that workouts can help you relaxed.
C.Chronic inflammation is a mild condition that can persist for years.
D.But once they start moving consistently, the levels generally decline.
E.Sometimes inflammation serves a vital function in keeping you healthy.
F.It is how you exercise not just whether you exercise that plays a critical role.
G.Such training targets inflammation-causing cells, especially with aerobic exercise.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·江苏宿迁市沭阳县·期中)
Holidays are often a time of indulgence (放纵), even for those who are usually careful about their diets throughout the year. However, holiday eating is not just about avoiding excess calories; what we eat significantly impacts the health of our entire body, including the immune system. 16
During the holidays, we are more likely to encounter sweet, salty foods, and alcoholic beverages. 17 But they can potentially weaken our immune system. Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can cause inflammation in the blood vessels and brain. Processed foods and restaurant meals, which are often high in salt, can raise blood pressure. Excessive alcohol consumption can lower antibody production. Therefore, it’s crucial to limit your intake of sugar, salt, and alcohol.
18 Don’t ignore providing your immune system with the nutrients it needs for optimal (最佳的) health. Even during holiday parties, ensure your diet is rich in fiber and fermented foods.
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains are excellent sources of fiber, which can help reduce inflammation. 19 For example, certain types of yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, pickles, and even some cheeses contain beneficial and live bacteria.
Finally, don’t forget to incorporate healthy fats and proteins into your diet, as both are essential for maintaining overall bodily function. Besides, remember that even the busiest social calendar doesn’t include parties every night. 20
A.They taste great.
B.Just as important as what you eat is what you do in parties.
C.An occasional indulgence probably won’t cause lasting damage.
D.Equally important as what you avoid is what you include in your diet.
E.Minimize potential harm by maintaining a healthy diet on non-holiday days.
F.You can also effectively support your health by consuming fermented foods.
G.To keep your immune system functioning optimally, it’s essential to celebrate more mindfully.

(24-25学年高一下·江苏南通如皋市·期中)
Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost meant cleaning in my family. As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was given a chore (家务活). 16 Sometimes we can’t, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities.
Chores were part of my family’s way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. 17
When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. 18 . Being given chores means that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof.
Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. 19 I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories.
20 Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention time management, and selflessness. All these clearly add much weight to the argument in favor of involving children in household chores.
A.Household chores put great stress on us.
B.It was meaningful, although we disliked it.
C.They create a sense of belonging within a family.
D.We had to complete it before doing our school homework.
E.It’s also clear that chores are important for personal growth.
F.Actually, doing chores alongside my family can make them a joy.
G.Allowing children to share burdens helps them recognize their strengths.

For some, home is where the heart is. In Azerbaijan, however, the saying goes, “Wherever my carpet (a material for covering floors or stairs, like a big mat) is, that’s where I live.” 16 And the art of carpet making has been part of Azerbaijan’s culture since a very long time ago.
Today, carpets are a big part of daily life in Azerbajan. They can be found everywhere: on the walls and floors of homes, restaurants, etc. 17 Its making techniques have been passed down from father to son, mother to daughter, and each carpet has a unique story to tell.
In the country’s capital, Baku, the beloved carpet’s most impressive symbol comes in the form of a splendid building. 18 Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, designed by Austrian architect Franz Janz, sits proudly on the city’s busy seaside walkway. The museum was founded in 1967 by a famous artist and carpet weaver Latif Karimov, who dedicated his life to celebrating and preserving Azerbaijani carpets. It was, at the time of opening, the very first museum of its kind.
19 Those carpets, dating from the 17th century to the present day, come from different areas across the country. Most of them are made using wool from either lambs or sheep, although there are some silk ones which are made only in Sheki, the only silk-producing region in the country.
A short distance from the museum is Azerkhalcha, an organization devoted to preserving the age-old tradition of carpet making and supporting the women who devote their life to it. One of them is Sevinj Hajiyeva, who was taught how to make it by her brother when she was very little. “ 20 It’s a lifelong hobby and a source of love,” she says. “I hope to pass on this art to the young.” For Sevinj, through carpets people in Azerbaijan can share feelings and ideas.
A.But they are quite expensive.
B.Carpet making is not just an art.
C.Carpets have been deeply loved in Azerbaijan.
D.The museum is one of the biggest ones in the world.
E.The museum has the largest collection of Azerbaijani carpets in the world.
F.Some of them are made for special occasions: weddings, birthdays, burials, and so on.
G.It’s shaped, rather remarkably, like a huge carpet decorated in a colourful and fashionable style.

Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was difficult for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor. 16 According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy.
As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system. 17 It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.
18 According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM. 19
The popular situation of TCM is not limited to schools and hospitals. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. There is a trend among young people to pay more attention to health conditioning and maintenance. However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状) . It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients. 20
A.They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment.
B.Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it.
C.Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.
D.Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon.
E.This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.
F.Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods.
G.For example, some students find it difficult to master the philosophical ideas behind TCM.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏苏州·期中)
As deadly wildfires continue to sweep through California, it now seems important to understand how wildfires work. 16
Though the exact source of wildfires is unclear, authorities have claimed that 95% of fires in California are started by people. Experts aren’t yet able to forecast wildfire outbreaks. 17 Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Four fifths of wildfires are started by people, but drought and strong winds can create the perfect conditions for a disaster.
Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year, according to estimates. 18 Potentially deadly airborne, microscopic particles (微粒) can thicken the blood. Smoke also contains carbon monoxide, causing long-lasting damage to the heart.
19 In northern forests, which store more carbon than any other terrestrial (陆地的) ecosystem, climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently, further speeding up the emission of carbon and worsening global warming.
However, wildlife tends to have a very different relationship with fire. 20 For example, some birds will fly in to feed on bark beetles (树皮甲虫) in dead trees. That’s not to say, all wild animals call fire a friend — there are some who can’t escape the quickly spreading flames. Slow-moving animals such as koalas, whose nature is to hide into a tree, may end up trapped. In this case, wildlife falls victim to climate change tragically.
A.And it is more important to know how to prevent wildfires.
B.Besides health problems, forest fires actually have the ability to heat up the entire planet.
C.Some have evolved to live with it, and some even grow better after fires.
D.Wildfires have damaging effects on the habitats of wildlife.
E.However, there are three conditions that must be present in order for a wildfire to burn.
F.Sharp increases in asthma (哮喘) attacks have been reported when smoke blankets the places where people live.
G.Of equal importance is to realize the long-term effects of wildfires on our health and the environment.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·江苏连云港市灌南县·期中)
In the U.S., 7.5 million acres of land are lost to wildfires every year, mostly with human-related causes. Weather can affect these fires, but what people do makes it worse. The main reasons for these fires are burning rubbish, overheated or sparking (冒火花) machines, and campfires. 16 . It is the key to reducing what could start a fire. By taking into account the methods of preventing wildfires, we can keep the big problems under control.
Practicing responsible farming and rubbish disposal (处理)
Farmers sometimes burn dry plants to put nutrients back into the ground. 17 . While this is not the healthiest form of rubbish disposal, many people do it, especially in faraway places. These activities are often the cause of wildfires. When ashes are not properly put out or weather conditions are poor, fires grow and spread to nearby ecosystems.
Preventing machinery-related hazards (隐患)
18 . Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using spark-producing tools as they can light dry plants on fire. Additionally, refueling heated engines is dangerous, as it can cause fires. In general, it is a good idea to have fire-extinguishing equipment on hand to prevent the growth of small fires that could be caused by machines.
19
While having fun outdoors, ensure that you enjoy yourself in a safe environment. One such example includes making sure that campfires are completely put out. If fireworks are being lit, it is important to take wildfire prevention measures. Fireworks should not be lit in or near forests. Additionally, water the grass near the fireworks area and don’t start fireworks when it is windy. 20 .
A.Maintaining a safe environment
B.The forest is rapidly cleared of people
C.Burning rubbish is another related activity
D.These measures will prevent unexpected fires
E.Warning your friends of the possibility of the coming danger
F.Hot equipment and overheated engines can easily start wildfires
G.Fire prevention and control are only possible through responsible behavior

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏徐州市铜山区·期中)
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important than ever. However, with so much information available, it can be challenging to know where to start. 16 . Here are some key tips to help you lead a healthier life.
A balanced diet is the foundation of good health. 17 Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your daily meals. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of salt. For example, start your day with a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh berries and nuts, have a salad filled with colorful vegetables and grilled chicken for lunch, and enjoy a dinner of baked salmon, steamed broccoli, and brown rice.
18 Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, per week. Strength training, like lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises, can also be beneficial as it helps build muscle and bone strength. Find activities that you enjoy, whether it’s dancing, hiking, or playing a sport, so that you’re more likely to stick with them. Make exercise a part of your daily routine, like taking a walk during your lunch break or going for a bike ride after dinner.
Getting enough sleep is crucial for your overall well-being. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. 19 Establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Create a comfortable sleep environment that is dark, quiet, and cool. Avoid using electronic devices before bed as the blue light emitted can interfere with your sleep. A good night’s sleep will leave you feeling refreshed, improve your concentration, and boost your immune system.
Stress is part of life, but learning to manage it is important for your health. Chronic stress can lead to various health problems, including high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. Use positive methods to relieve your stress. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or tai chi. Make time for activities that you enjoy, like reading a book, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family. 20
By following these simple steps, you can make significant improvements to your health and wellbeing. Remember, small changes in your daily habits can lead to big results in the long run.
A.Physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind.
B.But it doesn’t have to be complicated.
C.Make sure to schedule regular visits to your healthcare provider.
D.It provides the necessary nutrients your body needs to function properly.
E.Also, make sure to take breaks during the day to recharge your batteries.
F.Lack of sleep can affect your mood, energy levels, and physical performance.
G.Find healthy ways to cope with stress instead of turning to unhealthy habits like overeating or smoking.

World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep shortage among teenagers has come into focus. 16 , so they feel sleepy during the day. A report issued by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep, according to USA Facts.
Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. 17 . This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults, said the US National Institutes of Health.
For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. It helps sharpen the mind and promotes learning.
18 . This link was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between people lacking people and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. 19 .
More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (入睡)”, which provides a special time for creativity. 20 . The MIT team found that when people are made to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking up, reported MIT News.
A.They often had trouble coming up with new ideas
B.Enough sleep also benefits teenagers’ physical health
C.They need 9 to 10 hours of sleep each day to function well
D.This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep
E.Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports creative abilities
F.Many teenagers are busy with homework, activities and electronic devices
G.Teenagers focus on deep mental, physical, social and emotional development

Reading comprehension (理解) is more than just recognizing sounds, letters, and words. 16 Unfortunately, U.S. schools stress decoding (解码) words over helping children build knowledge. While American children under 10 are good at basic skills like summarizing the main topic of a text, they often struggle with deeper understanding.
17 When we read fiction or poetry, it requires knowing characters’ hidden feelings and connecting the text to the time in which the writer lived. It also requires exploring common themes between texts. When we read in the sciences, deep reading comprehension requires linking background knowledge with new information. The more children know about a specific topic — like the solar system (太阳系) or natural selection — the easier it is for them to understand new information.
Children improve their reading skills as they grow. By the time they reach 12th grade, they can not only understand what they are reading but also judge them. 18 With the right instruction, students learn that skillful reading goes beyond the lines. They should use what they know to communicate critically (批判性地) with writers and their work.
19 Data gathered in homes, at schools and in labs show that one-to three-year-olds who have conversations with older people learn to read more easily than children who do not. When adults talk seriously about events and objects, children are given a big educational advantage: 20
A.So, what is deep reading comprehension?
B.High-schoolers will read history or news reports.
C.Attitude has something to do with being skillful readers.
D.This process of teaching kids to read better must start early.
E.Their growing bodies of knowledge improves their reading skills.
F.Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people.
G.It requires readers to connect the text with what they already know.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been asked, “ 16 ?” My answer would always be the same: I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking. Absolutely, flying and invisibility (隐身) had crossed my mind. But every time, I’d always settle on reading people’s minds.
In a friend group, I’m usually the quieter one—the one who observes everyone else interacting and occasionally voices my opinion. 17 . Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves. It’s human nature, after all.
Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally (无意地) judge others keeps me on edge. It’s what makes me want to know what people are thinking. I’m constantly afraid of what people think of me. Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong?
18 . I overthink people’s reactions, movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine (真诚的).
Ultimately, I’ve come to realize that it shouldn’t really matter what other people think. 19 , it’s an overwhelmingly (压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.
Indeed, it’s not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone. You only have so much control over that. 20 .
A.Does it really matter what other people think
B.If you could have a superpower, what would it be
C.Focus on what you can control, but don’t overthink
D.These thoughts often consume me and make me overthink
E.Though as a curious person, I am always wondering what is going through someone’s head
F.While knowing what people think of me may address any doubts I have about myself or a relationship
G.Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads

You are looking at a website and an advertisement jumps out, asking for donations to people in need of warm clothes. You pay for a few items at a drugstore and the clerk asks if you’d like to donate school supplies to less fortunate children. Opportunities to give money to those in need are everywhere. 36 Does it depend on your mood? Or does it depend on who’s watching?
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, a major factor that may determine whether we donate is where we stand on two moral qualities:empathy (共情) and a sense of justice. They often appear to pull us in two different directions. 37
For example, you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and he could have made better choices. 38 On the other hand, if you can understand the pain causing him to slip into the hopeless situation, you would tend to give.
For the study, researchers asked people to donate to charities. In the charities the donors believed the sufferers were responsible for their own situation (such as those who cannot keep a job due to alcohol use). 39 Furthermore, if the participants felt that they almost always make moral choices, they seemed to feel less empathic towards the sufferers and were less likely to donate money.
40 It’s empathy that connects us and encourages us to reach out. In fact, any type of suffering can help us relate to another person’s suffering,prompting (促进) us to reach out and help. Actually, when asked to recall their own past immoral behaviours, the participants seemed able to empathize more with those sufferers. As a result, they were more likely to donate.
A.Then you will probably not give any money.
B.This suggests that creativity can increase generosity.
C.But which situations drive you to reach for your wallet?
D.So trying to keep a balance between them can be difficult.
E.Empathy is considered a great power among several factors.
F.So next time, think about whether empathy is guiding your decision.
G.And some participants considered it immoral to donate to such persons.

(24-25学年高一下·江苏南通·期中)
Low-carbon living is about fighting climate change by saving resources and reducing emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases. After all, a healthier planet is also healthier for us! 16 Besides turning off lights, recycling paper and plastics, there’s still a lot more we can do.
Check before you buy. Not all electrical devices (设备) are designed for ideal energy efficiency. Even if two rice cookers share the same features, the amount of energy they require to run on may be different. 17 Check for energy labels (商标) when we’re buying energy-efficient products!
Shut electrical equipment off. 18 Turning off your computer beyond working hours for a month is equal to charging your phone 1,000 times. Reducing your monitor brightness by 20% for a day also matters much. The amount of energy saved by shutting off unused lights and TV during non-working hours for a year can save a lot of energy.
19 Transportation is the second largest source of greenhouse gases, and we all know the environmental benefits of using mass public transport. But if you need a private vehicle, there are also low-carbon options. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions.
Treat c-waste properly. Responsible waste management is key to a green lifestyle, and one type of waste is often ignored: e-waste. Discarded (丢弃的) devices can cause disasters to the environment and our health,as they contain poisonous chemicals. 20
A.Say no to private vehicles.
B.Travel in a wiser and smarter way.
C.Do you often leave your computer on after work?
D.By reducing our carbon footprint, we’ll have a cleaner world.
E.Why not give them a second life by gifting them to those in need?
F.That means you’re paying extra for the same functions performed.
G.Instead of throwing them around, bring them to special recycling points.

Each year, scores of old and broken shoes end up in rubbish. But taking simple steps to protect and repair your shoes can make them last longer, helping your wallet and the planet. Here’s what you can do to help your shoes last.
Buying better.
16 Shoes made of cheap materials can be more difficult to repair because they have a limited shelf life. To buy a higher-quality pair of shoes, you’d better look for leather. It can be restored and recolored.
Taking care of what you have.
Taking care of your shoes is important to help them last longer. 17 When buying new leather shoes, make sure to make them shiny right away. It’s important to do this regularly to protect your shoes.
There are treatments that can be applied to keep your leather shoes in good condition. Using shoe trees can keep their shape. 18 Experts recommend not reaching for the same pair every day to help prevent wear and tear. In addition, you can turn to a repair shop that can provide you with the right guidance. 19
Simple repairs can be done at home. But if your shoes start to show more significant signs of wear, think twice before you attempt. Repairs, for example, may involve glues. It’s just not simply sticking something. 20 Glue won’t work to soiled shoes. Certain household glues can also cause damage to leather and damage the shoes.
It’s hard to put a dollar sign on repairs, but you can save money on almost any repair—all while giving them longer wear.
A.Fixing damage.
B.Turning to a salesperson.
C.It depends on the degree of wear.
D.There’s definitely a lot of science to it.
E.After all, prevention is less costly than repair.
F.You should also think about how often you wear your shoes.
G.The kinds of shoes you buy decide how long you’ll wear them.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·江苏南通海安市·期中)
Next time you’re pushing through the burn of a workout, remember that exercise can also be a remedy (疗法). Research indicates that it serves as an effective approach to fighting chronic inflammation, particularly among those with physically inactive habits.
16 It can begin with an infection or injury but evolve into a lasting state. Then the immune system attacks healthy tissue gradually. This process raises disease risks and contributes to tiredness, depression, or brain fog.
The scientific evidence is clear that sedentary (久坐的) people tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared with people who exercise regularly. 17 Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so effective at protecting us against other chronic conditions.
While some findings highlight exercise’s anti-inflammatory power, maximizing its effects requires strategic approaches. 18 For example, a 20-minute walk or jog everyday regularly can spark temporary anti-inflammatory effects. Most moderate-intensity exercise reduces inflammation short-term, but sticking with it is key.
High-intensity exercise itself produces a temporary surge (激增) in inflammation. 19 For similar reasons, you should avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system.
If possible, prioritize strength training. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less inflammation. So strength training may be especially important for them to remain mobile and independent. It is recommended that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week. 20 This combined approach not only builds muscle but also interrupts chronic inflammatory pathways.
A.So it’s important to properly heal between workouts.
B.Findings have confirmed that workouts can help you relaxed.
C.Chronic inflammation is a mild condition that can persist for years.
D.But once they start moving consistently, the levels generally decline.
E.Sometimes inflammation serves a vital function in keeping you healthy.
F.It is how you exercise not just whether you exercise that plays a critical role.
G.Such training targets inflammation-causing cells, especially with aerobic exercise.
【答案】16.C 17.D 18.F 19.A 20.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动能有效对抗慢性炎症,但需通过科学策略来优化效果,同时避免过度训练引发的炎症风险。

(一些研究人员认为,运动对抗炎症的能力甚至可能是体育活动如此有效地保护我们免受其他慢性疾病侵害的核心原因。)”提到运动对抗炎症的作用,因此D项“But once they start moving consistently, the levels generally decline. (但一旦他们开始坚持运动,炎症水平通常会下降。)”符合语境,指出久坐人群的炎症水平可以通过运动降低,和前文构成转折,引出后文。故选D。
18.前文“While some findings highlight exercise’s anti-inflammatory power, maximizing its effects requires strategic approaches. (虽然一些研究结果强调了运动的抗炎能力,但要想最大限度地发挥其作用,需要有策略的方法。)”指出发挥运动的抗炎能力依赖于具体的策略,后文“For example, a 20-minute walk or jog everyday regularly can spark temporary anti-inflammatory effects. Most moderate-intensity exercise reduces inflammation short-term, but sticking with it is key. (例如,每天20分钟的散步或慢跑可以产生暂时的抗炎效果。大多数中等强度的运动都能在短期内减少炎症,但坚持是关键。)”举例说明不同运动的抗炎效果,因此F项“It is how you exercise not just whether you exercise that plays a critical role. (关键不仅在于是否运动,更在于如何运动。)”符合语境,点明运动方式的重要性,承接前文,后文是对其例证。故选F。
19.前文“High-intensity exercise itself produces a temporary surge (激增) in inflammation. (高强度的运动本身会导致炎症的短暂激增。)”指出高强度运动会暂时增加炎症,后文“For similar reasons, you should avoid overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken your immune system. (出于同样的原因,你应该避免过度训练,因为反复的高强度训练没有适当的恢复会增加你的炎症水平,削弱你的免疫系统。)”警告过度训练的危害,因此A项“So it’s important to properly heal between workouts. (因此,在锻炼之间充分恢复很重要。)”符合语境,建议做好恢复,承前启后。故选A。
20.前文“It is recommended that adults make time for at least two strength-training sessions per week. (建议成年人每周至少抽出时间进行两次力量训练。)”建议进行力量训练,后文“This combined approach not only builds muscle but also interrupts chronic inflammatory pathways. (这种综合方法不仅可以增强肌肉,还可以阻断慢性炎症途径。)”提到综合的方式的好处,因此G项“Such training targets inflammation-causing cells, especially with aerobic exercise. (这种训练针对引发炎症的细胞,尤其结合有氧运动。)”符合语境,说明力量训练可以与有氧运动结合,承前启后。故选G。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高一下·江苏宿迁市沭阳县·期中)
Holidays are often a time of indulgence (放纵), even for those who are usually careful about their diets throughout the year. However, holiday eating is not just about avoiding excess calories; what we eat significantly impacts the health of our entire body, including the immune system. 16
During the holidays, we are more likely to encounter sweet, salty foods, and alcoholic beverages. 17 But they can potentially weaken our immune system. Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can cause inflammation in the blood vessels and brain. Processed foods and restaurant meals, which are often high in salt, can raise blood pressure. Excessive alcohol consumption can lower antibody production. Therefore, it’s crucial to limit your intake of sugar, salt, and alcohol.
18 Don’t ignore providing your immune system with the nutrients it needs for optimal (最佳的) health. Even during holiday parties, ensure your diet is rich in fiber and fermented foods.
Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains are excellent sources of fiber, which can help reduce inflammation. 19 For example, certain types of yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, pickles, and even some cheeses contain beneficial and live bacteria.
Finally, don’t forget to incorporate healthy fats and proteins into your diet, as both are essential for maintaining overall bodily function. Besides, remember that even the busiest social calendar doesn’t include parties every night. 20
A.They taste great.
B.Just as important as what you eat is what you do in parties.
C.An occasional indulgence probably won’t cause lasting damage.
D.Equally important as what you avoid is what you include in your diet.
E.Minimize potential harm by maintaining a healthy diet on non-holiday days.
F.You can also effectively support your health by consuming fermented foods.

Growing up, I found the word Saturday almost meant cleaning in my family. As soon as any child was able to use a dust cloth, he or she was given a chore (家务活). 16 Sometimes we can’t, but the older we grew, the more my parents expected us to balance these responsibilities.
Chores were part of my family’s way of functioning. We complained and tried to avoid them, but we never questioned why we did them. As a family, we all had roles in keeping the home running smoothly, and the responsibility grew with age. 17
When I was a kid, I knew when doing chores I was helping my family. It wasn’t until I grew into adulthood that I realized that chores are more than a list of tasks. 18 . Being given chores means that each family member is needed and that their action or non-action affects every single other person living under the same roof.
Handling daily household chores is never easy, but doing them out of love for my family makes it manageable. 19 I enjoy jumping in to help whenever my parents need a hand. While working together, we have the chance to have meaningful conversations, share experiences, and build memories.
20 Household chores mean learning how to manage responsibility and understand kids’ role, not to mention time management, and selflessness. All these clearly add much weight to the argument in favor of involving children in household chores.
A.Household chores put great stress on us.
B.It was meaningful, although we disliked it.
C.They create a sense of belonging within a family.

For some, home is where the heart is. In Azerbaijan, however, the saying goes, “Wherever my carpet (a material for covering floors or stairs, like a big mat) is, that’s where I live.” 16 And the art of carpet making has been part of Azerbaijan’s culture since a very long time ago.
Today, carpets are a big part of daily life in Azerbajan. They can be found everywhere: on the walls and floors of homes, restaurants, etc. 17 Its making techniques have been passed down from father to son, mother to daughter, and each carpet has a unique story to tell.
In the country’s capital, Baku, the beloved carpet’s most impressive symbol comes in the form of a splendid building. 18 Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, designed by Austrian architect Franz Janz, sits proudly on the city’s busy seaside walkway. The museum was founded in 1967 by a famous artist and carpet weaver Latif Karimov, who dedicated his life to celebrating and preserving Azerbaijani carpets. It was, at the time of opening, the very first museum of its kind.
19 Those carpets, dating from the 17th century to the present day, come from different areas across the country. Most of them are made using wool from either lambs or sheep, although there are some silk ones which are made only in Sheki, the only silk-producing region in the country.
A short distance from the museum is Azerkhalcha, an organization devoted to preserving the age-old tradition of carpet making and supporting the women who devote their life to it. One of them is Sevinj Hajiyeva, who was taught how to make it by her brother when she was very little. “ 20 It’s a lifelong hobby and a source of love,” she says. “I hope to pass on this art to the young.” For Sevinj, through carpets people in Azerbaijan can share feelings and ideas.
A.But they are quite expensive.
B.Carpet making is not just an art.

Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was difficult for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor. 16 According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy.
As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system. 17 It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.
18 According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM. 19
The popular situation of TCM is not limited to schools and hospitals. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. There is a trend among young people to pay more attention to health conditioning and maintenance. However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状) . It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients. 20
A.They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment.
B.Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it.
C.Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.
D.Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon.
E.This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.
F.Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods.
G.For example, some students find it difficult to master the philosophical ideas behind TCM.
【答案】16.E 17.C 18.D 19.F 20.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了越南人Phan Thi Kim Chi与中国传统医学(TCM)的渊源,以及TCM在世界范围内的传播和受欢迎情况,同时专家也提醒TCM强调根据确定的症状进行诊断和治疗的重要性,不可能对所有患者提供一刀切的方法。
16.上文“Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor.(小时候,每当她感冒或头痛时,她的家人都会向当地的中医求助)”描述Phan小时候与中医的渊源,结合第二段中“As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system.(作为一名外籍学生,Phan认为中医基础理论课程是其体系中最具挑战性的课程)”可知,她长大后选择了学习中医,E项“This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.(这使她在中国的传统医学院主修中医)”符合语境,E项中This指代前文“小时候生病找中医”的情况,故选E项。
17.根据下文“It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.(需要多年的学习和实践才能真正理解阴阳、人与自然的和谐以及木、火、土、金、水五行等思想)”可知,中医涉及很多哲学思想,需要多年学习实践才能理解,与C项“Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.(中医博大精深,与中国哲学有着深厚的联系)”表达的含义一致,故选C项。
18.根据下文“According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe.(据一份报告显示,去年在中国学习中医的留学生总数为8187人,其中来自亚洲国家的留学生人数最多,为6441人,其次是来自非洲的832人和来自欧洲的432人)”可知,有很多像Phan一样的海外学生学习中医,与D项“Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon.(像Phan这样的中医海外学生并不少见)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。
19.根据上文“Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM.(此外,许多中国医科大学都有派遣教授出国教授中医的项目)”可知,很多中国医科大学有派遣教授出国教中医的项目,由此可推理出其他中医组织也有类似做法,与F项“Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods.(许多其他中医组织也采用了类似的战略方法)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。
20.根据上文“However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状). It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients.(然而,专家提醒,中医强调根据确定的症状进行诊断和治疗的重要性。不可能对所有患者提供一刀切的方法)”可知,中医强调根据症状诊断治疗,不能一刀切,由此可推理出喝草本奶茶等也要根据情况选择,与B项“Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it.(即使是喝草本奶茶,也最好根据此做出选择)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏苏州·期中)
As deadly wildfires continue to sweep through California, it now seems important to understand how wildfires work. 16
Though the exact source of wildfires is unclear, authorities have claimed that 95% of fires in California are started by people. Experts aren’t yet able to forecast wildfire outbreaks. 17 Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Four fifths of wildfires are started by people, but drought and strong winds can create the perfect conditions for a disaster.
Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year, according to estimates. 18 Potentially deadly airborne, microscopic particles (微粒) can thicken the blood. Smoke also contains carbon monoxide, causing long-lasting damage to the heart.
19 In northern forests, which store more carbon than any other terrestrial (陆地的) ecosystem, climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently, further speeding up the emission of carbon and worsening global warming.
However, wildlife tends to have a very different relationship with fire. 20 For example, some birds will fly in to feed on bark beetles (树皮甲虫) in dead trees. That’s not to say, all wild animals call fire a friend — there are some who can’t escape the quickly spreading flames. Slow-moving animals such as koalas, whose nature is to hide into a tree, may end up trapped. In this case, wildlife falls victim to climate change tragically.
A.And it is more important to know how to prevent wildfires.
B.Besides health problems, forest fires actually have the ability to heat up the entire planet.
C.Some have evolved to live with it, and some even grow better after fires.
D.Wildfires have damaging effects on the habitats of wildlife.
E.However, there are three conditions that must be present in order for a wildfire to burn.
F.Sharp increases in asthma (哮喘) attacks have been reported when smoke blankets the places where people live.
G.Of equal importance is to realize the long-term effects of wildfires on our health and the environment.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·江苏连云港市灌南县·期中)
In the U.S., 7.5 million acres of land are lost to wildfires every year, mostly with human-related causes. Weather can affect these fires, but what people do makes it worse. The main reasons for these fires are burning rubbish, overheated or sparking (冒火花) machines, and campfires. 16 . It is the key to reducing what could start a fire. By taking into account the methods of preventing wildfires, we can keep the big problems under control.
Practicing responsible farming and rubbish disposal (处理)
Farmers sometimes burn dry plants to put nutrients back into the ground. 17 . While this is not the healthiest form of rubbish disposal, many people do it, especially in faraway places. These activities are often the cause of wildfires. When ashes are not properly put out or weather conditions are poor, fires grow and spread to nearby ecosystems.
Preventing machinery-related hazards (隐患)
18 . Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using spark-producing tools as they can light dry plants on fire. Additionally, refueling heated engines is dangerous, as it can cause fires. In general, it is a good idea to have fire-extinguishing equipment on hand to prevent the growth of small fires that could be caused by machines.
19
While having fun outdoors, ensure that you enjoy yourself in a safe environment. One such example includes making sure that campfires are completely put out. If fireworks are being lit, it is important to take wildfire prevention measures. Fireworks should not be lit in or near forests. Additionally, water the grass near the fireworks area and don’t start fireworks when it is windy. 20 .
A.Maintaining a safe environment
B.The forest is rapidly cleared of people
C.Burning rubbish is another related activity
D.These measures will prevent unexpected fires
E.Warning your friends of the possibility of the coming danger
F.Hot equipment and overheated engines can easily start wildfires
G.Fire prevention and control are only possible through responsible behavior

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏徐州市铜山区·期中)
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more important than ever. However, with so much information available, it can be challenging to know where to start. 16 . Here are some key tips to help you lead a healthier life.
A balanced diet is the foundation of good health. 17 Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your daily meals. Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of salt. For example, start your day with a bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh berries and nuts, have a salad filled with colorful vegetables and grilled chicken for lunch, and enjoy a dinner of baked salmon, steamed broccoli, and brown rice.
18 Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, per week. Strength training, like lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises, can also be beneficial as it helps build muscle and bone strength. Find activities that you enjoy, whether it’s dancing, hiking, or playing a sport, so that you’re more likely to stick with them. Make exercise a part of your daily routine, like taking a walk during your lunch break or going for a bike ride after dinner.
Getting enough sleep is crucial for your overall well-being. Most adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night. 19 Establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Create a comfortable sleep environment that is dark, quiet, and cool. Avoid using electronic devices before bed as the blue light emitted can interfere with your sleep. A good night’s sleep will leave you feeling refreshed, improve your concentration, and boost your immune system.
Stress is part of life, but learning to manage it is important for your health. Chronic stress can lead to various health problems, including high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. Use positive methods to relieve your stress. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or tai chi. Make time for activities that you enjoy, like reading a book, listening to music, or spending time with friends and family. 20
By following these simple steps, you can make significant improvements to your health and wellbeing. Remember, small changes in your daily habits can lead to big results in the long run.
A.Physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind.
B.But it doesn’t have to be complicated.
C.Make sure to schedule regular visits to your healthcare provider.
D.It provides the necessary nutrients your body needs to function properly.
E.Also, make sure to take breaks during the day to recharge your batteries.
F.Lack of sleep can affect your mood, energy levels, and physical performance.
G.Find healthy ways to cope with stress instead of turning to unhealthy habits like overeating or smoking.

World Sleep Day fell on March 21 this year, and the problem of sleep shortage among teenagers has come into focus. 16 , so they feel sleepy during the day. A report issued by the Chinese Sleep Research Society on March 16 showed that more than half of young people born after 2000 in China fall asleep after midnight. In the US, 77.3 percent of high school students do not get enough sleep, according to USA Facts.
Quality sleep is important for people of any age, but especially so for teenagers. 17 . This is more than what they need both as children and later as adults, said the US National Institutes of Health.
For students, sleep plays a key role in school performance by improving attention, memory and thinking skills. It helps sharpen the mind and promotes learning.
18 . This link was first studied in the late 20th century when researchers at Loughborough University in the UK compared creative performance between people lacking people and those who slept normally. The first group scored lower on the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking. 19 .
More recently, in 2023, a team led by Kathleen at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) identified a stage of sleep called “sleep onset (入睡)”, which provides a special time for creativity. 20 . The MIT team found that when people are made to dream about a certain topic during sleep onset, they perform more creatively on related tasks after waking up, reported MIT News.
A.They often had trouble coming up with new ideas
B.Enough sleep also benefits teenagers’ physical health
C.They need 9 to 10 hours of sleep each day to function well
D.This stage happens when we are between being awake and asleep
E.Besides helping with learning, sleep also supports creative abilities

主题01 人与自我——生活与学习—乐于学习,善于学习,终身学习
(24-25学年高一下·江苏常州·期中)
Reading comprehension (理解) is more than just recognizing sounds, letters, and words. 16 Unfortunately, U.S. schools stress decoding (解码) words over helping children build knowledge. While American children under 10 are good at basic skills like summarizing the main topic of a text, they often struggle with deeper understanding.
17 When we read fiction or poetry, it requires knowing characters’ hidden feelings and connecting the text to the time in which the writer lived. It also requires exploring common themes between texts. When we read in the sciences, deep reading comprehension requires linking background knowledge with new information. The more children know about a specific topic — like the solar system (太阳系) or natural selection — the easier it is for them to understand new information.
Children improve their reading skills as they grow. By the time they reach 12th grade, they can not only understand what they are reading but also judge them. 18 With the right instruction, students learn that skillful reading goes beyond the lines. They should use what they know to communicate critically (批判性地) with writers and their work.
19 Data gathered in homes, at schools and in labs show that one-to three-year-olds who have conversations with older people learn to read more easily than children who do not. When adults talk seriously about events and objects, children are given a big educational advantage: 20
A.So, what is deep reading comprehension?
B.High-schoolers will read history or news reports.
C.Attitude has something to do with being skillful readers.
D.This process of teaching kids to read better must start early.
E.Their growing bodies of knowledge improves their reading skills.
F.Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people.
G.It requires readers to connect the text with what they already know.
【答案】16.G 17.A 18.B 19.D 20.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阅读理解尤其是深度阅读理解的内涵、要求以及如何提升阅读技能,强调了知识积累和早期教育对阅读技能提升的重要性。
16.根据上文“Reading comprehension is more than just recognizing sounds, letters, and words.(阅读理解不仅仅是识别声音、字母和单词)” 可知,接下来应进一步说明阅读理解还需要什么。G 选项“它要求读者将文本与他们已经知道的东西联系起来” 符合语境,对阅读理解的要求进行了补充说明。故选G。
17.根据下文“When we read fiction or poetry, it requires knowing characters' hidden feelings and connecting the text to the time in which the writer lived. It also requires exploring common themes between texts. When we read in the sciences, deep reading comprehension requires linking background knowledge with new information.(当我们阅读小说或诗歌时,这需要了解人物隐藏的情感,并将文本与作者生活的时代联系起来。它还需要探索文本之间的共同主题。当我们阅读科学类文章时,深度阅读理解需要将背景知识与新信息联系起来)” 可知,这些内容是在具体解释深度阅读理解是什么。A 选项“那么,什么是深度阅读理解呢?” 能很好地引出这些解释内容。故选A。
18.根据上文“By the time they reach 12th grade, they can not only understand what they are reading but also judge them.(到他们上 12 年级时,他们不仅能理解自己所读的内容,还能对其进行评判)” 可知,后面应举例说明高中生阅读的内容。B 选项“高中生会阅读历史或新闻报道” 与前文提到的高中阶段相呼应,符合语境。故选B。
19.根据下文“Data gathered in homes, at schools and in labs show that one - to three - year - olds who have conversations with older people learn to read more easily than children who do not.(在家庭、学校和实验室收集的数据表明,一到三岁与年长者交谈的孩子比不这样做的孩子更容易学会阅读)” 可知,前面应是说教孩子阅读的过程要尽早开始。D 选项 “教孩子更好地阅读的这个过程必须尽早开始。” 能引出后文关于早期教育对孩子阅读影响的内容。故选D。
20.根据上文“When adults talk seriously about events and objects, children are given a big educational advantage:(当成年人认真谈论事件和物体时,孩子会获得很大的教育优势)” 可知,后面应说明这种优势是什么。E 选项 “他们不断增长的知识体系提高了他们的阅读技能” 符合语境。故选E。

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been asked, “ 16 ?” My answer would always be the same: I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking. Absolutely, flying and invisibility (隐身) had crossed my mind. But every time, I’d always settle on reading people’s minds.
In a friend group, I’m usually the quieter one—the one who observes everyone else interacting and occasionally voices my opinion. 17 . Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves. It’s human nature, after all.
Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally (无意地) judge others keeps me on edge. It’s what makes me want to know what people are thinking. I’m constantly afraid of what people think of me. Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong?
18 . I overthink people’s reactions, movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine (真诚的).
Ultimately, I’ve come to realize that it shouldn’t really matter what other people think. 19 , it’s an overwhelmingly (压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.
Indeed, it’s not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone. You only have so much control over that. 20 .
A.Does it really matter what other people think
B.If you could have a superpower, what would it be
C.Focus on what you can control, but don’t overthink
D.These thoughts often consume me and make me overthink

F.While knowing what people think of me may address any doubts I have about myself or a relationship
G.Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads
【答案】16.B 17.G 18.D 19.F 20.C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者想要拥有读懂别人想法的能力,但却觉得这是一件耗费精力和情绪的事情,因此最终意识到,不要太在意别人的看法,专注自己的事情就可以。
16.根据空后“My answer would always be the same: I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking.(我的答案总是一样的:我希望有能力知道人们在想什么。)”可知,空后提出的答案是希望有能力知道人们在想什么,故此处应提问希望拥有什么能力,故B项“如果你有超能力,那会是什么”符合,本空提出问题,空后回答问题,故选B项。
17.根据空前“In a friend group, I’m usually the quieter one — the one who observes everyone else interacting and occasionally voices my opinion.(在朋友圈里,我通常比较安静——观察其他人的互动,偶尔发表我的意见。)”和空后“Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves.(无论我们承认与否,我们总是自己有一些想法。)”可知,空前提到我在朋友圈里,很少发表自己的意见,空后说到我们肯定有着自己的想法,故G项“看到人们如何相互交流,我不禁想知道他们的脑子里到底在想什么”符合,承接空前的观察其他人互动,在他们互动时,我不禁在想他们脑子里在想着什么,又引出空后我们肯定有着自己的想法,故选G项。
18.根据空后“I overthink people’s reactions, movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine (真诚的).(我过度思考人们的反应、动作甚至语言。我过度思考了过去的对话,想知道我本可以说些什么来让自己听起来不那么愚蠢或更真诚。)”可知,空后举出我过度思考的例子,故D项“这些想法经常消耗我的经历,让我过度思考。”符合,本空提出我经常过度思考,空后举出具体的例子,且D项中的“These thoughts”指代前文“Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong?”提到的这些想法,故选D项。

20.根据空前“Indeed, it’s not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone. You only have so much control over that.(事实上,不值得浪费时间、精力和情绪去担心你在别人面前是够很酷。你对此只有这么多控制权。)”可知,空前提到不值得浪费时间、经历和情绪去在意别人对你的看法,故此空应该提出什么才是合理的,故C项“专注你能控制的事情,但不要过度思考。”符合,承接空前的只有这些控制权,因此专注自己能控制的事情,故选C项。
主题02 人与社会——社会服务与人际沟通—良好人际关系与社会交往
(24-25学年高一下·江苏宿迁市泗阳县·期中)
You are looking at a website and an advertisement jumps out, asking for donations to people in need of warm clothes. You pay for a few items at a drugstore and the clerk asks if you’d like to donate school supplies to less fortunate children. Opportunities to give money to those in need are everywhere. 36 Does it depend on your mood? Or does it depend on who’s watching?
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, a major factor that may determine whether we donate is where we stand on two moral qualities:empathy (共情) and a sense of justice. They often appear to pull us in two different directions. 37
For example, you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and he could have made better choices. 38 On the other hand, if you can understand the pain causing him to slip into the hopeless situation, you would tend to give.
For the study, researchers asked people to donate to charities. In the charities the donors believed the sufferers were responsible for their own situation (such as those who cannot keep a job due to alcohol use). 39 Furthermore, if the participants felt that they almost always make moral choices, they seemed to feel less empathic towards the sufferers and were less likely to donate money.
40 It’s empathy that connects us and encourages us to reach out. In fact, any type of suffering can help us relate to another person’s suffering,prompting (促进) us to reach out and help. Actually, when asked to recall their own past immoral behaviours, the participants seemed able to empathize more with those sufferers. As a result, they were more likely to donate.
A.Then you will probably not give any money.
B.This suggests that creativity can increase generosity.
C.But which situations drive you to reach for your wallet?
D.So trying to keep a balance between them can be difficult.
E.Empathy is considered a great power among several factors.
F.So next time, think about whether empathy is guiding your decision.
G.And some participants considered it immoral to donate to such persons.
【答案】36.C 37.D 38.A 39.G 40.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了影响人们捐款决策的两个主要道德品质因素:共情和正义感,并说明了共情在促使人们捐款中的重要作用。
36.由上文“Opportunities to give money to those in need are everywhere. (向有需要的人捐款的机会无处不在。)”和下文“Does it depend on your mood? Or does it depend on who’s watching? (这取决于你的心情吗?还是取决于谁在看?)”可知,本空应提出一个关于在什么情况下会捐钱的问题。C选项“But which situations drive you to reach for your wallet? (但是什么情况下会让你掏钱呢?)”符合语境。故选C。
37.由上文“According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, a major factor that may determine whether we donate is where we stand on two moral qualities: empathy and a sense of justice. They often appear to pull us in two different directions. (根据《消费者研究杂志》上的一项新研究,决定我们是否捐款的一个主要因素是我们对两种道德品质的立场:共情和正义感。它们似乎常常把我们拉向两个不同的方向。)”可知,此处应说明保持共情和正义感之间平衡的困难,D选项“So trying to keep a balance between them can be difficult. (因此,试图在两者之间保持平衡可能是困难的。)”能承接上文,说明了这两种道德品质之间的平衡很难保持,符合语境。故选D。
38.由上文“For example, you believe that a homeless man has caused his own misfortune and he could have made better choices. (例如,你认为一个无家可归的人是自己造成了自己的不幸,他本可以做出更好的选择。)”可知,此处应说明基于这种想法的结果,即可能不会捐钱,A选项“Then you will probably not give any money. (那么你可能不会给任何钱。)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·江苏南通·期中)
Low-carbon living is about fighting climate change by saving resources and reducing emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases. After all, a healthier planet is also healthier for us! 16 Besides turning off lights, recycling paper and plastics, there’s still a lot more we can do.
Check before you buy. Not all electrical devices (设备) are designed for ideal energy efficiency. Even if two rice cookers share the same features, the amount of energy they require to run on may be different. 17 Check for energy labels (商标) when we’re buying energy-efficient products!
Shut electrical equipment off. 18 Turning off your computer beyond working hours for a month is equal to charging your phone 1,000 times. Reducing your monitor brightness by 20% for a day also matters much. The amount of energy saved by shutting off unused lights and TV during non-working hours for a year can save a lot of energy.
19 Transportation is the second largest source of greenhouse gases, and we all know the environmental benefits of using mass public transport. But if you need a private vehicle, there are also low-carbon options. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions.
Treat c-waste properly. Responsible waste management is key to a green lifestyle, and one type of waste is often ignored: e-waste. Discarded (丢弃的) devices can cause disasters to the environment and our health,as they contain poisonous chemicals. 20
A.Say no to private vehicles.
B.Travel in a wiser and smarter way.
C.Do you often leave your computer on after work?
D.By reducing our carbon footprint, we’ll have a cleaner world.
E.Why not give them a second life by gifting them to those in need?
F.That means you’re paying extra for the same functions performed.
G.Instead of throwing them around, bring them to special recycling points.
【答案】16.D 17.F 18.C 19.B 20.G

Passage 2
(24-25学年高一下·江苏连云港市赣榆区·期中)
Each year, scores of old and broken shoes end up in rubbish. But taking simple steps to protect and repair your shoes can make them last longer, helping your wallet and the planet. Here’s what you can do to help your shoes last.
Buying better.
16 Shoes made of cheap materials can be more difficult to repair because they have a limited shelf life. To buy a higher-quality pair of shoes, you’d better look for leather. It can be restored and recolored.
Taking care of what you have.
Taking care of your shoes is important to help them last longer. 17 When buying new leather shoes, make sure to make them shiny right away. It’s important to do this regularly to protect your shoes.
There are treatments that can be applied to keep your leather shoes in good condition. Using shoe trees can keep their shape. 18 Experts recommend not reaching for the same pair every day to help prevent wear and tear. In addition, you can turn to a repair shop that can provide you with the right guidance. 19
Simple repairs can be done at home. But if your shoes start to show more significant signs of wear, think twice before you attempt. Repairs, for example, may involve glues. It’s just not simply sticking something. 20 Glue won’t work to soiled shoes. Certain household glues can also cause damage to leather and damage the shoes.
It’s hard to put a dollar sign on repairs, but you can save money on almost any repair—all while giving them longer wear.
A.Fixing damage.
B.Turning to a salesperson.
C.It depends on the degree of wear.
D.There’s definitely a lot of science to it.
E.After all, prevention is less costly than repair.
F.You should also think about how often you wear your shoes.
G.The kinds of shoes you buy decide how long you’ll wear them.
