Passage 1
(24-25学年高一下·内蒙古包头·期中)
It seems that self-help books are on the best-seller lists these days. 1 They can help you overcome (克服) difficulties or at least think about them more clearly.
More people are turning to self-help books for advice on how to live their lives. In 2023, the sale of these books in the UK rose by 20 percent. 2 Many of the self-help books are written by famous people. These books teach you how to deal with the problems in your life, such as how to get along well with your classmates or workmates, how to manage your time well and how to find happiness in daily life.
3 People have lots of different opinions about this. Julie Hall from London is a big fan of self-help books. After reading more than 300 of them, she set up her own website. 4 “Self-help books can give you the courage and motivation (动力) to do whatever you want to,” she told us. However, a recent research from University of Montreal in Canada might not agree with that. Researchers surveyed (调查) two groups of people. One of the groups had read many self-help books, while the other hadn’t. They found that people in the first group were more anxious and upset.
5 However, it’s always good to know that help is at hand when we need it.
A.The number reached a record of three million.
B.But can these books really help us in our lives?
C.People can also turn to other resources for help.
D.Her website helped women succeed in the business world.
E.There is no single quick solution that can improve our lives.
F.She would like to offer some useful suggestions to her neighbours.
G.These books are like someone that has thought about the challenges you’re facing.
passage 2
(24-25高一下·辽宁沈阳·期中)
About 90 percent of the world’s population doesn’t need to think about which hand to use when picking up a pair of scissors. 1 . Let’s take a look at some of the myths, mysteries and history of our left-handed friends.
2 . The belief that left-handed people were witches was widespread in medieval Europe, and they could even be killed. In fact, the word “sinister”, meaning harmful or evil, comes from a Latin word for “on the left side.” Even in the 1960s, American children born left-handed were forced to switch hands when writing.
There are also some interesting mysteries concerning right- or left-handed people. The human brain is “cross-wired” with the left brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa (反之亦然). But one University of Oxford study suggests that, in the brains of left-handed people, the two parts are better connected. 3
Unfortunately, there are some mental health issues that can especially affect left-handed people. According to a 2013 Yale University study, lefties seem more likely to suffer from schizophrenia (精神分裂症). 4 . But other studies have linked the left-handed brain with decidedly creative thinking. Though uncertain, yet with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, there might be some connection.
One area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports that require quick reaction times. 5 . Ding Ning, for example, is a left-handed table tennis champion with three Olympic gold medals. But if there is an advantage, it’s probably not a result of some special “lefty magic.” Recent studies show that there seems to be no definite connection being left-handed and athletic capability.
In any case, lefties, hold your south pa w high and show the world what you’re made of!
A.It is this disease that has led to their being left-handed
B.Altogether, it’s not a shame to be left-handed
C.But it’s not the same story for the 10 percent who are left-handed
D.Being left-handed hasn’t always been accepted
E.This includes sports like baseball and table tennis
F.This serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real
G.Also, studies say that lefties may have an advantage in language learning
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·内蒙古巴彦淖尔市·期中)
There was a park near my home. But I didn't go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 1 I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 2 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
3 It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 4
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn't believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
5 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.
B.After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.
C.There is nothing that I want to see.
D.I told them what happened.
E.“Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.
F.There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
G.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·内蒙古·期中)
In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation and people always practice special traditional activities in each festival.
Qingming Festival
Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox, round April 4 or April 5 every year. 1 They remove the weeds growing on the ancestors’ tombs to make them clean, so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival. In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.
Double Ninth Festival
2 The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.
Winter Solstice(冬至)
Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. 3 In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton(馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.
4
In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the Lunar year. People celebrate it by having a family reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and staying up late. Breaking the dishes and bowls is a thing all the people scare, but if you did it, you have to say: “sui sui ping an”. 5

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·吉林松原·期中)
Effective communication is important for all relationships. Learning what questions to ask can improve how you work with team members. 1 .
Do your research
Do you fully understand what you’re asking and why? 2 . Improve your focus by concentrating on what you don’t get. If your question is too confusing, you won’t get the answer you need. People can’t answer a question well if you don’t make it easy for them.
3
Everyone goes off-topic sometimes, but that’s not always a bad thing. Conversation can go in many different directions before or after your question is answered. You may find that talking makes you think of more questions. Try to relax, and don’t think every question has to be formal.
Put questions in right order
If you’re having a long conversation with lots to cover, put some thoughts into the order of your questions. You might not want to start with sensitive or challenging questions. 4 .
Use the right tone (语气)
5 . Some are serious, while others are light-hearted and fun. It’s important to know when you must have a serious tone and when you can be casual (随意的). Being very formal in every situation can make people uncomfortable and stop them from wanting to share information. If the other person is showing you they’re uncomfortable, respect their space — you’re likely not getting honest answers, anyway.
A.Go where the conversation takes you
B.Use silence to your advantage
C.Make sure you understand what you’re asking
D.You’re curious about what they have to say
E.Here are some tips on how you can ask good questions
F.The questions can have different meanings depending on the tone used
G.Start by asking basic and easy questions before getting into challenging ones
Passage 2
(24-25高一下·吉林友好学校联合体·期中)
In today’s fast-paced society, time management is important. Everyone tries to learn and work more efficiently within the limited time. 1
Use every moment
When you’re busy, every moment in the day is important. 2 When you’re taking the bus or you’re waiting for a lecture, you can get something done online, like doing some research for an important project and pin some online resources or reading part of the studying material you need to cover for the tests.
Make to-do lists every single day
3 Then, translate that plan into weekly goals and create daily to-do lists that help you achieve them. When you have a plan, you’ll notice it’s easy to find a gap where your favorite TV show fits in. Suddenly, you realize that a 24-hour day gives you more space than you assumed.
Create blocks of courses
What happens when you leave 50 minutes of free time between the courses? You end up having coffee and scrolling on your phone, waiting for the next course. You are wasting valuable time. Try this method: 4 lectures, relaxation, studying and good times. When you know that you’ll be done with lectures soon, your mind will stay focused and excited about the relaxation that follows. 5
If you find yourself struggling with the amount of work you have, turn to your professor immediately for help. American professors have office hours when students can come ask questions and get help. They want you to succeed, so ask for assistance. There are also many campus resources that you can use, such as tutors and the writing center.
A.Get help when needed.
B.Go through all work at once.
C.separate your days into four different blocks:
D.Here are some tips to achieve this in universities.
E.So you’d better have your computer with you at all times.
F.Write a monthly plan and include all tests, papers and courses.
G.It won’t be easy for you to go through all those lectures without taking breaks
Passage 3

How to Protect Your Online Security
In today’s digital age, protecting your online security is more important than ever. With the increase in cyber (网络的) threats, it’s crucial to take steps to safeguard your personal information. 1 Follow these tips to enhance your online security and protect your data.
2 One of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your online accounts is to use strong, unique passwords for each one. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites, and make sure each password is complex and difficult to guess. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name or birthdate. Consider using a password manager to keep track of your passwords securely.
Enable two-factor authentication (双重验证). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts. 3 This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your accounts, even if they have your password.
Be careful about public Wi-Fi. Public Wi-Fi networks are convenient but can be risky. 4 If you must use public Wi-Fi, consider using a virtual private network(VPN) to encrypt (把……加密) your internet connection and protect your data.
Keep your software up to date. Software updates often include important security patches that fix vulnerabilities. 5 This includes your operating system, web browser, and any app you use regularly.
A.Use strong, unique passwords.
B.Protecting your online security doesn’t have to be complex.
C.It’s essential to be aware of the potential risks and take steps to minimize them.
D.Be careful of clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.
E.Make sure to update all your devices and applications as soon as updates are available.
F.It requires you to confirm your identity using a second method, such as a text message.
G.It’s important to stay informed about the latest cybersecurity threats and how to protect yourself.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁沈阳·期中)
A support network is critical to your well-being and high school success. It’s like having a safety net. Whenever things don’t go as planned, it will be there to pick you up. It can provide you with the assistance you need to go through high school successfully. 1 Here are some tips on how to build and maintain your support network.
Identify potential support sources. Take time to recognize individuals who make you feel comfortable and are dependable. 2 In this way, emotional support, guidance and possible solutions can be provided when needed.
Voice your needs when necessary. Everyone is different, and therefore, everyone has different needs. Not everyone knows exactly how to deal with a situation or help a person. So, when your support network doesn’t know exactly how to support you, don’t get discouraged. 3
Be involved in events. Participating in events can provide an excellent opportunity to expand your support network. 4 Working together towards common objectives can create lasting friendships and a support system that understands your challenges.
5 Building a support network is not just about receiving support; it’s also about giving the help back. Be patient when listening and offer help to others in your network. By being a supportive friend, you create a positive environment where people are more likely to provide support to you as well.
A.Offer support to others.
B.Maintain relationships.
C.It’s important to have role models at school.
D.Speak up about your problems and your support network will know your needs.
E.However, building and maintaining a support network takes time and effort.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·吉林长春·期中)
Music is a major part of our lives. We meet music almost everywhere, from car rides and homes, to workouts in the gym, or even the movies and TV shows we watch. Most people enjoy listening to music and often state that they can’t live without it. 1 ? Because it provides several health benefits that many are unaware of.
It improves sleep quality. Listening to music has been shown to treat constant wakefulness, especially for college students. 2 . Research has found that listening to music at various times promotes better sleep patterns for people and even creates more restful sleep.
It helps with exercising. Have you ever wondered why there is always music playing in the gym or why people can’t go on runs without their headphones? 3 . It’s also shown that listening to music can increase endurance (耐力).
It decreases stress and anxiety. Are you ever worried or anxious about something and don’t know what to do? 4 , even during highly stressful or painful events.
It may help with memory. When studying or doing the homework, do you ever find yourself moving your head to some music? Research shows that music enjoyment helps with learning and memory.
5 . If you’re feeling down, music may be the perfect cure. Studies show that music helps put people in a better mood and helps them keep in touch with their feelings.
Whether you’ve realized it or not, listening to your favourite songs provides your mind and body with much more than the enjoyment of the songs. So keep on listening!
A.But why is that
B.It improves your mood
C.What mental benefits can it bring
D.Music is a necessary part of human life
E.Listening to music can calm people down
F.Low and soft music works just as well as sleeping pills

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·内蒙古包头·期中)
Digital technology helps people to be more flexible and more productive, and makes it easier to get work done. 1 . Here are some active steps to manage your technology use so the disadvantages don’t override the advantages. 2
Thousands of people are killed each year by distracted (注意力分散的) driving. When you’re in the car, make it a habit: silence your phone and place your phone out of reach while driving.
Guard your nightly rest
3 . Research confirms that nighttime screen use — especially the blue light given off by devices — harms your sleep quality. But it’s not just the light; stimulating (趣味盎然的) content like messages or social media can keep your brain active when it should be relaxing. Also resist using your phone as an alarm clock. For many people, it can be too tempting to have it on the bedside table.
Set clear boundaries (界限)
If you won’t be responding to texts during work hours or checking email on vacation, communicate that frankly. Let your parents know you’ll reply in the evening. 4 . Otherwise, you’ll spend your downtime managing annoyed messages instead of truly relaxing.
Be present in person
Digital technology and social media make it easy to stay in touch, but they can distract you from connecting with the people right in front of you. Technology keeps us connected, but it can also pull us away from the people right in front of us. Those face-to-face interactions matter. Research shows that 44% of frequent phone checkers feel disconnected from their families, even when together. 5 .
A.Try late-night use of your phone
B.Avoid using phones behind the wheel
C.Your phone could be stealing your sleep
D.It has also created new kinds of stress for you, though
E.Ensure your boss is okay with your disconnection for the weekend
F.Over time, you’re missing out on those opportunities to be present on social media
G.So when you’re with loved ones, be truly with them and give them your full attention
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·辽宁大连·期中)
As a writer who shares his journey online, I’m often asked how to begin a writing journey. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but I do understand the curiosity of starting something new. Here are some tips which I think could help.
Start small.
Keep a journal or notebook for short writing exercises or ideas. These small pieces can serve as practice or inspiration for larger projects later on. 1 You’ll want to look back one day and see how much progress you’ve made and how your initial ideas shaped your current skills and creativity.
Write regularly and from experience.
The more you write, the better you’ll become. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poetry, draw from your own experiences or observations. Writing consistently builds not only your technical skills but also your confidence in expressing ideas. 2 It is constant writing that often transforms thoughts into something tangible and meaningful.
Challenge yourself to explore new techniques.
3 Maybe experiment with a different narrative style. I once took on a challenge to write flash fiction every day for a month, and it pushed me in unexpected and rewarding ways. By exploring unfamiliar territory, you might discover hidden talents or creative passions you never knew existed.
4
Communicate with other writers as much as possible. In this way I posted my writing online and have connected with some of the most supportive readers. Getting constructive criticism and advice can help you grow while building a community of fellow writers.
Your writing journey won’t be a straight line. 5 Keep writing and stay patient. In time, the dedication will pay off, and you’ll see the rewards of living a writer’s life.
A.Share to get feedback.
B.Support other readers.
C.A straight-line thing is often favored by fiction writers.
D.Stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for growth.
E.You’ll face challenges, and sometimes you’ll doubt yourself.
F.Don’t throw away your early writings, even if they seem rough.
G.Just like a muscle, writing skills grow stronger with frequent use.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期中)
The Feynman Technique(费曼学习法)is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
·Find out the topic you want to learn. 1 Otherwise, you'll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique— 2 .This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.
.Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You’ll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you came up with in Step Two 3 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply.
·Improve and optimize(优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. 4
· Repeat the steps until you’ve achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step you're fully satisfied with your explanation. 5 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A.Use those to improve your explanation
B.To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C.Make sure that your explanation is interest-based
D.Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E.The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F.It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learn
G.Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·内蒙古乌兰察布市·期中)
How to make small talk
Sometimes, people say that small talk is awkward and shallow (肤浅的). 1 , the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself. There are four tips that’ll help you make small talk in any situation.
·Devices down
2 . This is a small but meaningful gesture (姿态) in a world that’s totally connected to digital networks. Putting your phone, tablet, or laptop away shows your focus is completely on the person you’re talking to, and you’re not waiting for something to break your attention.
·Listen first
In social situations, one way to show you’re offering your full attention is to listen in an engaged (投入的) way. When you’re listening, show you’re paying attention by practicing nonverbal cues (非语言暗示) like nodding and making eye contact with the speaker. 3 . For example, if someone tells you, “Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,” repeat back, “Three years? Has it been that long?” This shows you’re actively listening.
· 4
When you ask about the person you’re speaking to, ask open-ended questions. For example, “How have things been?” is a better question than “Have you been alright?” The latter requires a simple yes or no response, while the former draws out information in a conversational way.
·Respond enthusiastically
When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically (热情地). Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected. 5 .
A.Be open-minded
B.Ask open questions
C.But if you do it successfully
D.The first step to making small talk is to put your devices away
E.It’s also a good active listening practice to repeat what someone just told you
F.If you view these conversations as opportunities to learn
G.This is good for building a relationship with someone you don’t know very well
Passage 2

●View mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you will make mistakes because everyone does. Mistakes are part of learning.

● 4 If you realize that you're unhappy with something about yourself that you can change, then start today. If it's something you can't change(like your height), then start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
●Take pride in your opinions and ideas. Don't be afraid to voice them.
5 Tutor a classmate who's having trouble, help clean up your neighborhood, or volunteer your time in some other way. Feeling like you're making a difference and that your help is valued can do wonders to improve self-esteem.

Choosing the Right Path to Be a“Better”Person
Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement.In the rush to achieve,the idea of being“better”can become lost sometimes.You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way. 1
Explore your talents.
Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests.So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you.
2 For example,people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club,but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be.Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’11 enjoy.
3
No matter how much money you make.you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate.It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.
If you’re particularly unhappy at your job,consider why. 4 If you feel your job isn’t meaningful,or isn’t in line with your values,consider finding another job.
Experience something new.
Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone,we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it. 5 Because of that,we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others,even when those are little scary.Doing so can help you achieve more.
A.Do what you love.
B.Here are some tips for you.
C.Register in a class you’re interested in.
D.Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·辽宁沈阳·期中)
About 90 percent of the world’s population doesn’t need to think about which hand to use when picking up a pair of scissors. 1 . Let’s take a look at some of the myths, mysteries and history of our left-handed friends.
2 . The belief that left-handed people were witches was widespread in medieval Europe, and they could even be killed. In fact, the word “sinister”, meaning harmful or evil, comes from a Latin word for “on the left side.” Even in the 1960s, American children born left-handed were forced to switch hands when writing.
There are also some interesting mysteries concerning right- or left-handed people. The human brain is “cross-wired” with the left brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa (反之亦然). But one University of Oxford study suggests that, in the brains of left-handed people, the two parts are better connected. 3
Unfortunately, there are some mental health issues that can especially affect left-handed people. According to a 2013 Yale University study, lefties seem more likely to suffer from schizophrenia (精神分裂症). 4 . But other studies have linked the left-handed brain with decidedly creative thinking. Though uncertain, yet with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, there might be some connection.
One area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports that require quick reaction times. 5 . Ding Ning, for example, is a left-handed table tennis champion with three Olympic gold medals. But if there is an advantage, it’s probably not a result of some special “lefty magic.” Recent studies show that there seems to be no definite connection being left-handed and athletic capability.
In any case, lefties, hold your south pa w high and show the world what you’re made of!
A.It is this disease that has led to their being left-handed
B.Altogether, it’s not a shame to be left-handed
C.But it’s not the same story for the 10 percent who are left-handed
D.Being left-handed hasn’t always been accepted
E.This includes sports like baseball and table tennis
F.This serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real
G.Also, studies say that lefties may have an advantage in language learning
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.G 4.F 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕左撇子展开,介绍了关于左撇子的一些误解、谜团和历史,包括左撇子在历史上遭受的偏见、左撇子大脑结构的特点、左撇子可能面临的精神健康问题以及左撇子在体育方面的优势等。
1.上文“About 90 percent of the world’s population doesn’t need to think about which hand to use when picking up a pair of scissors.(世界上约90%的人在拿起剪刀时无需考虑用哪只手。)”提到90% 的人无需考虑用哪只手。选项C“But it’s not the same story for the 10 percent who are left-handed(但对于10%的左撇子来说,情况却大不相同。)”与上文形成对比,引出左撇子这个群体,衔接上下文,逻辑连贯。故选C。
2.空处为段首句,为本段主要内容。根据下文“The belief that left-handed people were witches was widespread in medieval Europe, and they could even be killed. In fact, the word “sinister”, meaning harmful or evil, comes from a Latin word for “on the left side.” Even in the 1960s, American children born left-handed were forced to switch hands when writing.(在中世纪的欧洲,‘左撇子是女巫’的观念盛行,他们甚至可能因此被处死。事实上,意为‘有害的’或 ‘邪恶的’英文单词“sinister”,就源自拉丁语中表示‘左侧’的词汇。直到20世纪60年代,美国仍有左撇子儿童在写字时被强制改用右手。)”可知,本段围绕左撇子曾被视为邪恶展开,如中世纪被迫害、20世纪被强制改手等。选项D“Being left-handed hasn’t always been accepted(左撇子并非一直被社会接纳。)”概括了段落主题,作为首句总领全段。故选D。
3.上文“But one University of Oxford study suggests that, in the brains of left-handed people, the two parts are better connected. (但牛津大学的一项研究表明,左撇子的大脑左右半球连接更为紧密。)”提到牛津大学研究指出左撇子大脑两部分连接更好。选项G“Also, studies say that lefties may have an advantage in language learning(研究还称,左撇子可能在语言学习方面具有优势。)”是对该研究的具体延伸,说明大脑结构差异带来的积极影响,符合语境。故选G。
4.前文“According to a 2013 Yale University study, lefties seem more likely to suffer from schizophrenia (精神分裂症).(耶鲁大学2013年的一项研究显示,左撇子患精神分裂症的可能性更高。)”提及左撇子更易患精神分裂症。选项F“This serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real(这种严重的疾病可能导致患者出现幻听或幻觉。)”进一步解释该疾病的症状,其中“This serious disorder”指代前句的“schizophrenia”,衔接紧密。故选F。
5.空前“One area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports that require quick reaction times.(左撇子可能占据优势的领域是需要快速反应的运动。)”指出本段讨论左撇子在快速反应运动中的优势。而下文“Ding Ning, for example, is a left-handed table tennis champion with three Olympic gold medals.(例如,左撇子乒乓球冠军丁宁就曾三次斩获奥运金牌。)”则以乒乓球运动员丁宁为例,说明左撇子在快速反应运动中的优势。选项E“This includes sports like baseball and table tennis(这包括棒球和乒乓球等运动。)”列举需要快速发应的具体运动类型,与后文例子呼应,逻辑一致。故选E。
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·内蒙古巴彦淖尔市·期中)
There was a park near my home. But I didn't go there very often. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoon I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked quickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. 1 I found that the two paths were different from each other.
The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers on both sides of the path. Though the flowers weren’t very beautiful, they made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I looked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. 2 Grass grew everywhere. For a long time I couldn’t make up my mind.
3 It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I came to the end of the path. Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. 4
Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in the park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the right way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them about what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me without saying a word. I knew they didn't believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was so small.
5 Don’t be afraid to choose a different path. You may get a big surprise!
A.It looked like it had not been cleaned for months.
B.After a while a strange feeling made me follow the dirty path.
C.There is nothing that I want to see.
D.I told them what happened.
E.“Which way should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other.
F.There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park.
G.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life.

In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation and people always practice special traditional activities in each festival.
Qingming Festival
Qingming Festival is on the 15th day after Spring Equinox, round April 4 or April 5 every year. 1 They remove the weeds growing on the ancestors’ tombs to make them clean, so this festival is also called Tomb-sweeping Festival. In some areas, people are forbidden to use fire to cook food, so they only eat cool food.
Double Ninth Festival
2 The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name. Chinese people, especially the north Chinese, climb the mountains to the peak to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and admire the beauty of chrysanthemum.
Winter Solstice(冬至)
Winter Solstice is on around December 22 or 23 of solar calendar each year. From Winter Solstice on, the daytime will be longer and longer. 3 In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton(馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.
4
In China, this festival is in late January or early February, the last day of the Lunar year. People celebrate it by having a family reunion dinner, setting off fireworks and staying up late. Breaking the dishes and bowls is a thing all the people scare, but if you did it, you have to say: “sui sui ping an”. 5
A.New Year’s Eve
B.Spring Festival
C.People will go to worship their ancestors.

2.根据后文“The Chinese character of September is the same as 9, so we get this special name.(九月的汉字与数字九相同,所以我们得到了这个特殊的名字)”可知,这里解释了重阳节名字的来历,因为有两个“九”,G项“It is celebrated on Sept. 9th of the Lunar Calendar, around October.(它在农历的九月初九庆祝,大约在公历10月)”指明重阳节的时间,引出后文名字的来历。故选G。
3.后文“In the northern region, people eat dumplings and wonton(馄饨), while in the southern region rice balls.(在北方地区,人们吃饺子和馄饨,而在南方地区,人们吃汤圆)”指明南北方在冬至时饮食的差异,是对E项“That day people in different regions eat different food.(那天,不同地区的人吃的食物不同)”的具体说明。故选E。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·吉林松原·期中)
Effective communication is important for all relationships. Learning what questions to ask can improve how you work with team members. 1 .
Do your research
Do you fully understand what you’re asking and why? 2 . Improve your focus by concentrating on what you don’t get. If your question is too confusing, you won’t get the answer you need. People can’t answer a question well if you don’t make it easy for them.
3
Everyone goes off-topic sometimes, but that’s not always a bad thing. Conversation can go in many different directions before or after your question is answered. You may find that talking makes you think of more questions. Try to relax, and don’t think every question has to be formal.
Put questions in right order
If you’re having a long conversation with lots to cover, put some thoughts into the order of your questions. You might not want to start with sensitive or challenging questions. 4 .
Use the right tone (语气)
5 . Some are serious, while others are light-hearted and fun. It’s important to know when you must have a serious tone and when you can be casual (随意的). Being very formal in every situation can make people uncomfortable and stop them from wanting to share information. If the other person is showing you they’re uncomfortable, respect their space — you’re likely not getting honest answers, anyway.
A.Go where the conversation takes you
B.Use silence to your advantage
C.Make sure you understand what you’re asking
D.You’re curious about what they have to say

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁沈阳·期中)
A support network is critical to your well-being and high school success. It’s like having a safety net. Whenever things don’t go as planned, it will be there to pick you up. It can provide you with the assistance you need to go through high school successfully. 1 Here are some tips on how to build and maintain your support network.
Identify potential support sources. Take time to recognize individuals who make you feel comfortable and are dependable. 2 In this way, emotional support, guidance and possible solutions can be provided when needed.
Voice your needs when necessary. Everyone is different, and therefore, everyone has different needs. Not everyone knows exactly how to deal with a situation or help a person. So, when your support network doesn’t know exactly how to support you, don’t get discouraged. 3
Be involved in events. Participating in events can provide an excellent opportunity to expand your support network. 4 Working together towards common objectives can create lasting friendships and a support system that understands your challenges.
5 Building a support network is not just about receiving support; it’s also about giving the help back. Be patient when listening and offer help to others in your network. By being a supportive friend, you create a positive environment where people are more likely to provide support to you as well.
A.Offer support to others.
B.Maintain relationships.
C.It’s important to have role models at school.
D.Speak up about your problems and your support network will know your needs.

Digital technology helps people to be more flexible and more productive, and makes it easier to get work done. 1 . Here are some active steps to manage your technology use so the disadvantages don’t override the advantages. 2
Thousands of people are killed each year by distracted (注意力分散的) driving. When you’re in the car, make it a habit: silence your phone and place your phone out of reach while driving.
Guard your nightly rest
3 . Research confirms that nighttime screen use — especially the blue light given off by devices — harms your sleep quality. But it’s not just the light; stimulating (趣味盎然的) content like messages or social media can keep your brain active when it should be relaxing. Also resist using your phone as an alarm clock.

Set clear boundaries (界限)
If you won’t be responding to texts during work hours or checking email on vacation, communicate that frankly. Let your parents know you’ll reply in the evening. 4 . Otherwise, you’ll spend your downtime managing annoyed messages instead of truly relaxing.

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·辽宁大连·期中)
As a writer who shares his journey online, I’m often asked how to begin a writing journey. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but I do understand the curiosity of starting something new. Here are some tips which I think could help.
Start small.
Keep a journal or notebook for short writing exercises or ideas. These small pieces can serve as practice or inspiration for larger projects later on. 1 You’ll want to look back one day and see how much progress you’ve made and how your initial ideas shaped your current skills and creativity.
Write regularly and from experience.
The more you write, the better you’ll become. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poetry, draw from your own experiences or observations. Writing consistently builds not only your technical skills but also your confidence in expressing ideas. 2 It is constant writing that often transforms thoughts into something tangible and meaningful.
Challenge yourself to explore new techniques.
3 Maybe experiment with a different narrative style. I once took on a challenge to write flash fiction every day for a month, and it pushed me in unexpected and rewarding ways. By exploring unfamiliar territory, you might discover hidden talents or creative passions you never knew existed.
4
Communicate with other writers as much as possible. In this way I posted my writing online and have connected with some of the most supportive readers. Getting constructive criticism and advice can help you grow while building a community of fellow writers.
Your writing journey won’t be a straight line. 5 Keep writing and stay patient. In time, the dedication will pay off, and you’ll see the rewards of living a writer’s life.
A.Share to get feedback.
B.Support other readers.
C.A straight-line thing is often favored by fiction writers.
D.Stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for growth.
E.You’ll face challenges, and sometimes you’ll doubt yourself.
F.Don’t throw away your early writings, even if they seem rough.
G.Just like a muscle, writing skills grow stronger with frequent use.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.D 4.A 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何开始写作并提出建议,包括从小处着手、定期写作、挑战新技巧、分享作品以获得反馈,以及保持耐心和坚持。
1.由上文“These small pieces can serve as practice or inspiration for larger projects later on. (这些小作品可以作为日后更大项目的练习或灵感来源)”和下文“You’ll want to look back one day and see how much progress you’ve made and how your initial ideas shaped your current skills and creativity.

3.由标题“Challenge yourself to explore new techniques. (挑战自己,去探索新的技巧)”以及下文“Maybe experiment with a different narrative style. I once took on a challenge to write flash fiction every day for a month, and it pushed me in unexpected and rewarding ways. By exploring unfamiliar territory, you might discover hidden talents or creative passions you never knew existed. (或许可以尝试不同的叙述风格。我曾经接受了一个挑战,连续一个月每天写一篇闪小说,这个过程以意想不到且富有成就感的方式推动了我。通过探索不熟悉的领域,你可能会发现自己从未知晓的隐藏才能或创意激情)”强调挑战自我,尝试新的写作技巧;结合空后所举事例可知,此处鼓励走出舒适区,尝试不同的叙述风格,空处引出下文,D项“走出舒适区对于成长是必不可少的”,符合语境。故选D项。

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·辽宁·期中)
The Feynman Technique(费曼学习法)is a powerful method that you can use to learn anything faster because it forces you to actively think about the problem instead of passively reading or listening to someone else talk about it. You can take the following five simple steps to study better.
·Find out the topic you want to learn. 1 Otherwise, you'll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
·Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique— 2 .This requires you to meet the child at their level of understanding by using the simplest way.
.Identify areas of improvement in your explanation. You’ll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you came up with in Step Two 3 . Try to find any knowledge gaps, together with any areas where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply.
·Improve and optimize(优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and other areas of improvement you found before. 4
· Repeat the steps until you’ve achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step you're fully satisfied with your explanation. 5 , and that is why going through all the prior steps just once is usually not enough to achieve topic mastery.
A.Use those to improve your explanation
B.To do so, take a critical look at your explanation
C.Make sure that your explanation is interest-based
D.Your explanations need to be short and to the point
E.The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat
F.It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learn
G.Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.B 4.A 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是五步更好学习的费曼学习法。
1.根据空前“Find out the topic you want to learn.(找出你想学的主题。)”可知,本段建议找出想学的主题;以及空后“Otherwise, you’ll end up jumping between topics withoutdeveloping a deeper understanding of any of them.(否则,你最终会在各个主题之间跳来跳去,而对其中任何一个都没有深入的了解。)”可知,前面强调找出主题的重要性。F项“It’s important that you clearly know the topics you’re trying to learn(对自己要学习的主题做到心里有数是很重要的)”符合语境。故选F。
2.根据空前“Explain the topic as if teaching a sixth-grader. This step is the heart of the FeynmanTechnique(像教六年级学生一样解释这个话题。这一步是费曼技巧的核心)”其中sixth-grader和选项中照应词sixth-grade student;以及空后“This requires you to meet the child at their levelof understanding by using the simplest way.(这就要求你用最简单的方式满足孩子的理解水平。)”可知,满足孩子理解水平需要简洁解释,故G项“Explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student.(简洁明了地解释这个主题,足以让一个六年级的学生理解)”符合语境。故选G。
3.根据空前
“You’ll need to critically(批判性地)review the explanation you came up with in Step Two.(您需要批判性地回顾您在第二步中提出的解释。)”可知,下面介绍了如何批判性回顾这个解释,B项“To do so, take a critical look at your explanation.(要做到这一点,你需要批判性地看看你的解释)”符合语境。故选B。
4.根据空前“Improve and optimize(优化) your explanation. Think about all the knowledge gaps and otherareas of improvement you found before.(改进和优化你的解释。想想你之前发现的所有知识差距和其他需要改进的地方。)”可知,其中出现和选项中照应词improve your explanation,并给出了如何改进优化的方法,故A项“Use those to improve your explanation(用这些来改进你的解释)”符合语境。故选A。
5.根据空前“Repeat the steps until you've achieved mastery of the topic. Keep going through each step you're fully satisfied with your explanation.(重复这些步骤,直到你完全掌握了这个主题。继续进行每一步,直到你对自己的解释完全满意。)”可知,这里建议重复,以及出现和选项中照应词repeat,故E项“The Feynman Technique works best with a repeat(费曼学习法在重复时效果最好)”符合语境。故选E。

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·内蒙古乌兰察布市·期中)
How to make small talk
Sometimes, people say that small talk is awkward and shallow (肤浅的). 1 , the other person will focus on the more interesting parts of your conversation rather than the small talk itself. There are four tips that’ll help you make small talk in any situation.
·Devices down
2 . This is a small but meaningful gesture (姿态) in a world that’s totally connected to digital networks. Putting your phone, tablet, or laptop away shows your focus is completely on the person you’re talking to, and you’re not waiting for something to break your attention.
·Listen first
In social situations, one way to show you’re offering your full attention is to listen in an engaged (投入的) way. When you’re listening, show you’re paying attention by practicing nonverbal cues (非语言暗示) like nodding and making eye contact with the speaker. 3 . For example, if someone tells you, “Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,” repeat back, “Three years? Has it been that long?” This shows you’re actively listening.
· 4
When you ask about the person you’re speaking to, ask open-ended questions. For example, “How have things been?” is a better question than “Have you been alright?” The latter requires a simple yes or no response, while the former draws out information in a conversational way.
·Respond enthusiastically
When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically (热情地). Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected. 5 .
A.Be open-minded
B.Ask open questions
C.But if you do it successfully
D.The first step to making small talk is to put your devices away
E.It’s also a good active listening practice to repeat what someone just told you
F.If you view these conversations as opportunities to learn
G.This is good for building a relationship with someone you don’t know very well
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.E 4.B 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何进行闲聊,并给出了四个在任何情况下都能帮助你进行闲聊的技巧。

2.小标题Devices down (放下设备)以及下文“This is a small but meaningful gesture (姿态) in a world that’s totally connected to digital networks. (在这个完全与数字网络相连的世界里,这是一个微小但有意义的姿态)”说明这段话主要讲述的是在社交时放下电子设备的重要性,空处位于段首,应是小标题的进一步解释。D选项“闲聊的第一步是放下你的设备”直接点明主题,符合语境。故选D。
3.上文“When you’re listening, show you’re paying attention by practicing nonverbal cues (非语言暗示) like nodding and making eye contact with the speaker. (当你在听的时候,通过练习非语言暗示,比如点头和与说话者进行眼神交流,来表明你在注意听)”说明在听的时候,要通过非语言暗示来表明你在注意听,以及下文“For example, if someone tells you, “Wow, I haven’t seen you in three years,” repeat back, “Three years? Has it been that long?” This shows you’re actively listening. (例如,如果有人告诉你,“哇,我已经三年没见到你了,”你可以重复说,“三年了?已经这么久了吗?”这表明你在积极倾听)”举例说明重复对方的话是积极倾听的表现,空处承上启下。E选项“重复别人刚刚说的话也是一种很好的积极倾听的练习”既总结上文 ,又引出下文例证,衔接自然。故选E。
4.下文“When you ask about the person you’re speaking to, ask open-ended questions. (当你问及和你谈话的人时,要问开放式的问题)”说明该段主要讲述了在询问对方时,要问开放性问题,空处位于段首,应是小标题,概括本段内容。B选项“问开放式的问题”准确地概括了该段的主题,符合语境。故选B。
5.上文“When someone tells you something in a small talk conversation, respond enthusiastically (热情地). Your positivity shows you’re paying attention and also makes them feel valued and respected.

G.Each day, write down three things about yourself that make you happy.
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.G 4.E 5.A
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章指出:我们对自己的感觉会影响我们生活的方式,并详细给出了关于如何提高自尊心的具体方法。
1.前文说“How we feel about ourselves can influence how we live our lives.(我们对自己的感觉会影响我们生活的方式。)”,按照逻辑,设空处应进一步举例说明自我感觉影响生活方式。而F项“People with good self-esteem have better relationships.(自尊心强的人人际关系更好。)”是前文“自我感觉能影响生活方式”这一观点的具体体现,符合行文逻辑。故选F项。
2.上文“Having good self-esteem(自尊心)allows you to accept yourself and live life to the fullest.(拥有良好的自尊可以让你接受自己,并充分地享受生活。)”指出了拥有良好自尊心的好处,下文“If you want to improve your self-esteem, here are some steps(如果你想提高你的自尊心,这里有一些步骤)”即将给出提高自尊心的具体建议,显然,为了上下文连贯,设空处需填入“如何提高自尊心”这样的过渡句来承上启下,选项C“你如何提高你的自尊心?”符合文意,故选C项。
3.该段中心句是“Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself.(试着停止对自己的消极想法。)”紧接着又建议读者“start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them(开始思考你自己积极的一面)”,按照逻辑,设空处应给出关于如何停止对自己的消极想法的具体方法,选项G“每天,写下三件关于你自己的让你)心的事情。”符合文意,故选G项。
4.根据文章结构可推断,设空处需填入该段的中心句。后文用两个if从句的形式列出了“that you can change(你可以改变的)”和“you can't change(你不能改变的)”两种情况下的应对方法, E项“认清你能改变什么,不能改变什么。”最能概括全段的内容。故选E项。
5.设空处为本段主旨句,后文“Tutor a classmate who's having trouble, help clean up your neighborhood, or volunteer your time in some other way.(辅导有困难的同学,帮助打扫邻里,或以其他方式贡献你的时间。)”都是关于帮助别人的具体做法,而这些做法都属于“为别人做贡献”,所以A项“做贡献”最能概括全段内容。故选A项。

Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone,we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it. 5 Because of that,we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others,even when those are little scary.Doing so can help you achieve more.
