What’s more, people with little patience often make you lose your own. Since we all encounter impatient people, learning how to react is crucial. ___1___ ●Recognize how today’s fast­paced society increases impatience. We live in a world in which we expect almost immediate access to most things on demand. The Internet puts so much information at the tips of our fingers. ___2___ We need time to work, prepare reports and process information. ●___3___ Impatience is a sign of being caught up in the future rather than the present moment. Witnessing others’ impatience can remind us to be mindful. It can also remind us that our actions affect others, take others’ impatience as a call to action if needed. ●Strive for empathy. Empathy means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. ___4___ Sometimes it can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they don’t know where the report is. ●Avoid allowing impatience to affect you. ___5___ Either you only see them on a rare occasion or you know them well enough to know their impatience is temporary and not tied to your actions. If you have a family member who is experiencing external stress, their increased impatience probably isn’t about you. Choosing which battles to fight helps you focus on necessary tasks and end conflicts. A. Learn from others’ impatience. B. Anticipate impatience at work. C. An impatient person can be under stress. D. This works best for people that fall into two groups. E. It sometimes makes us forget that people are not machines. F. Here are some useful strategies to protect us from those effects. G. Try to think about where the impatience could be coming from. 【答案】1. F 2. E 3. A 4. G 5. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨在快节奏社会中，当我们遇到缺乏耐心的人时应如何应对。文章从认识社会节奏对耐心的影响、从他人不耐烦中学习、努力共情、避免受不耐烦情绪影响等方面给出了具体建议。 1.根据上文“Since we all encounter impatient people, learning how to react is crucial.( 因为我们都遇到过没有耐心的人，学习如何反应是至关重要的。)”提到我们都会遇到没有耐心的人，学习如何应对至关重要，后文则是具体的应对策略，F选项“Here are some useful strategies to protect us from those effects.( 这里有一些有用的策略来保护我们免受这些影响。)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选F项。 2.根据上文“The Internet puts so much information at the tips of our fingers.( 互联网让如此多的信息唾手可得。)”说互联网让我们能快速获取大量信息，以及后文“We need time to work, prepare reports and process information.( 我们需要时间来工作、准备报告和处理信息。)”指出我们需要时间工作、准备报告和处理信息，E选项“It sometimes makes us forget that people are not machines.( 它有时会让我们忘记人不是机器)。”能够很好地衔接上下文，说明互联网带来的便捷容易让我们忽视人不像机器那样能立刻处理所有事情。故选E项。 3.该空是段落小标题，根据后文“Impatience is a sign of being caught up in the future rather than the present moment. Witnessing others’ impatience can remind us to be mindful. It can also remind us that our actions affect others(急躁是被未来而不是现在所困住的标志。目睹别人的不耐烦可以提醒我们要留心。它还可以提醒我们，我们的行为会影响他人。)”可知，此段主要讲从他人的不耐烦中学习，A 选项“Learn from others’ impatience.( 从他人的不耐烦中学习。)”符合段落主旨，适合作为该段的小标题。故选A项。 4.此段小标题是“Strive for empathy.( 努力产生同理心)”G选项“Try to think about where the impatience could be coming from.( 试着想想不耐烦可能从何而来。)”是对产生同理心的具体阐述，即通过思考他人不耐烦的原因来理解他人，符合语境。故选G项。 5.根据后文“Either you only see them on a rare occasion or you know them well enough to know their impatience is temporary and not tied to your actions.( 要么你很少见到他们，要么你很了解他们，知道他们的不耐烦是暂时的，与你的行为无关。)”提到了两种情况，D选项 “This works best for people that fall into two groups.( 这对两类人最有效)。”中的“two groups”与后文的两种情况相呼应，符合文意。故选D项。 Passage 2 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （2025·湖北鄂州·高一下期中）At VOA Learning English, we sometimes get questions like this: “How can I speak English with more confidence?” ___1___ No matter what language we are learning, we would all love to speak more confidently. So today, we have three pieces of advice to help you gain confidence in your English-speaking ability. Use positive self-talk Believe it or not, the most important person you talk to every day is yourself. In other words: ___2___ So our first piece of advice is to use positive self-talk. If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, “___3___” When you talk to other people, you may say things like, “I’m so sorry for my English.” But if you keep thinking and saying such things, you are sure to start believing them. So the next time you are using your English, pay attention to what you tell yourself or others. Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones. Don’t worry too much One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes. Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. ___4___ And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes. Mistakes can be a good thing. The more mistakes you make, the more progress you will make. Set realistic goals If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail. ___5___ But, if you do something that matches your level, you are more likely to do it well. A. That is a great question. B. This can harm your confidence. C. It is your thoughts that really matter. D. Speak louder and slow down your speech. E. English is too hard and I will never improve. F. It is important to practise speaking English every day. G. But the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. E 4. G 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何才能自信地讲英语。 1.上文“How can I speak English with more confidence?(我怎样才能更自信地说英语呢?)”提出 一个关于说英语的问题，A项“That is a great question.(这是一个很好的问题)”强调这一问题的重要性，句中指示代词“That”和“a great question”与上文照应，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 2.根据标题“Use positive self-talk (使用正面的自我暗示)”和下文“So our first piece of advice is to use positive self-talk.(所以我们的第一个建议是使用正面的自我暗示)”可知，本段主要讲对自己进行正面的自我暗示的重要性，所以，要想自信地讲英语，自己的思想和想法非常常重要，C项“It is your thoughts that really matter.(真正重要的是你的想法)”符合语境。故选C项。 3.根据上文“If you lack confidence as an English speaker, you may tell yourself things like, (如果你对自己说英语缺乏信心，你可能会这样告诉自己)”可知，设空句中列举的是缺乏自信时的表现，E项“English is too hard and I will never improve.(英语太难了，我永远也不会进步)”正是我们不自信时会说的话，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 4.上文“Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process. Yes, you will make mistakes. (要明白犯错是语言学习过程中很自然的一部分。是的，你会犯错误)”讲犯错误是自然的事情，我们一定会犯错误，下文“And many English learners communicate very well, even with mistakes.(许多英语学习者即使有错误也能交流地很好，)”讲即使犯错误也能很好地进行交流，G项“But the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate.(但是说一门语言的目的是交流)”承上启下，说明说一门语言的目的是交流，只要能交流，就不用在意犯错误，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 5.上文“If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate level and you try to do something too difficult, you may fail.(如果你的英语水平只是初级或中级，而你想做一些太难的事情，你可能会失败)”提出因目标设置不合理而导致的失败，B项“This can harm your confidence.(这可能会损害你的信心)”承接上文，说明这样做可能带来的后果，进而引出下文的正确做法，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 Passage 3 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Power of Releasing Worry （2025·浙江嘉兴·高一下期中）We all worry. It’s a common feeling. We know worry does little good. It doesn’t solve problems but causes discomfort. Yet, it seems to stick to us. ____1____ Here are some ideas to help you worry less. Firstly, worry wastes our imagination. When we worry, we often think of bad things that might never happen. It’s not like problem-solving. Problem-solving is calm and logical. Worry is just nervousness. For example, if you worry about a test, you might imagine failing. But that doesn’t help. Instead, you should focus on preparing, which is practical. ____2____ Moreover, worry harms our performance. It takes our attention away from the present. When you worry, you can’t think clearly. Imagine you're playing a sport. ____3____ But if you stay calm and focus, you’ll do much better. Worry is like a dark cloud over our heads, making everything seem worse. Worry can stop you from reaching your goals and enjoying life. ____4____ When you feel worried, take slow, deep breaths. It helps you relax and think clearly. Also, take small actions. Even a little progress can reduce worry. For instance, if you worry about a project, start by making a simple plan. That gives you control and relaxes your mind. The key is to direct your attention to positive actions. In short, worry can be a lot of trouble. ____5____ By understanding its harm and learning to let go, we can live happier and more successful lives. A. Lastly, the solution to worry is to stay present. B. It’s important to see the difference between worrying and problem-solving. C. If you worry about losing, you won’t play well. D. Many people find that worry becomes a habit that's hard to break. E. However, there are several ways to reduce worry and improve your life. F. Taking steps to manage worry can lead to significant improvements in your daily life. G. The serious effect of worry on our physical and mental health must be fully understood. 【答案】1. E 2. B 3. C 4. A 5. G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了担忧的危害以及减少担忧的方法。 1.上文“We all worry. It’s a common feeling. We know worry does little good. It doesn’t solve problems but causes discomfort. Yet, it seems to stick to us.(我们都会担心。这是一种常见的感觉。我们知道担心没有什么好处。它不能解决问题，反而会引起不适。然而，它似乎总是伴随着我们)”说明担心是一种常见的感觉，而且不能解决问题，E项“然而，有几种方法可以减少担忧，改善你的生活”和前文为转折关系并引出下文介绍减少担忧的方法，且E项中的“reduce worry”和后文“help you worry less”相呼应，符合语境。故选E。 2.根据上文“Firstly, worry wastes our imagination. When we worry, we often think of bad things that might never happen. It’s not like problem-solving. Problem-solving is calm and logical. Worry is just nervousness. For example, if you worry about a test, you might imagine failing. But that doesn’t help. Instead, you should focus on preparing, which is practical.(首先，担心浪费了我们的想象力。当我们担心的时候，我们经常想到可能永远不会发生的坏事。这不是解决问题。解决问题的冷静和逻辑。担心只是紧张)”可知，我们应该却别担心和解决问题的区别，B项“重要的是要看到担心和解决问题的区别”符合语境。故选B。 3.上文“Moreover, worry harms our performance. It takes our attention away from the present. When you worry, you can’t think clearly.(此外，担心会损害我们的表现。它会把我们的注意力从当下转移开。当你担心的时候，你不能清晰地思考)”说明担心会损害我们的表现，把我们的注意力从当下转移开，让我们不能清晰地思考，C项“如果你担心失败，你就表现不好”和前文为顺承关系，进一步说明担心会损害我们的表现。故选C。 4.空处位于段首，为段落主旨句，应概括本段内容。下文“When you feel worried, take slow, deep breaths. It helps you relax and think clearly. Also, take small actions. Even a little progress can reduce worry.(当你感到担心时，慢慢地深呼吸。它能帮助你放松，清晰地思考。此外，采取小行动。即使是一点点进步也能减少担忧)”说明减少担忧的方法。A项“最后，解决担忧的方法是活在当下”引出下文内容。故选A。 5.根据下文“By understanding its harm and learning to let go, we can live happier and more successful lives.(通过了解它的危害并学会放手，我们可以过上更快乐、更成功的生活)”可知，了解担心的危害对我们有帮助，G项“必须充分了解担心对我们身心健康的严重影响”符合语境。故选G。 Passage 4 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （2025·江苏连云港·高一下期中）Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____1____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____2____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____3____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____4____ ____5____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. A 4. C 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自控力强的人往往更快乐，虽然真正擅长自控的人无需刻意练习，而且人们难以改变天生性格，但依然有一些方法可以提升自控力，例如针对特定行为或习惯，用报酬加以激励，以及循序渐进。 1.前文“And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. (研究表明，自控能力强的人往往更快乐。但问题是，我们通常只在未来得到奖励)”指出自控能力强可以带来快乐，但这种快乐在未来才能得到，因此E项“Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. (因此，我们不断地权衡是等待还是现在就拥有它)”符合语境，表明我们会纠结于是自控以得到未来的快乐，还是不自控现在就获得快乐，是前文矛盾的结果，承接前文。故选E。 2.前文“He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. (他说，具有讽刺意味的是，那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制)”指出擅长自控的人不需要练习自控，后文“When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. (当你喜欢并渴望一些对你更好的事情时，比如学习、努力工作或锻炼，你不必考虑去做)”用具体的例子说明这种自控可以自然发生，因此D项“They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. (他们可以毫不费力地一直保持好习惯)”符合语境，说明这样的人可以轻松保持好习惯，是对前文的解释，后文是对其例证，选项中的They指代前文的those who are really good at it。故选D。 3.前文“When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. (说到提高自我控制能力，Inzlicht说，很难改变你与生俱来的性格)”指出提高自控力很困难，后文“A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. (大量的研究表明，你可以提高你想要改变的特定行为或你想要养成的习惯的自制力)”说明特定行为或习惯的自控力是可以提升的，因此A项“However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. (然而，这并不意味着你对此无能为力)”符合语境，指出提高自控力也是有办法的，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的this指代前一句话。故选A。 4.前文“For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. (例如，Inzlicht说，当我们因为改变生活而得到报酬时，我们更有可能做出改变。有些健身房会向你收取一定数额的一年会员费，然后每次你来的时候都会返还你几美分)”指出报酬可以推动人做出改变，并举出健身房返还一小部分费用的例子，因此C项“Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. (即使是少量的钱也能鼓励人们去锻炼)”符合语境，说明被返还的费用可以让人坚持锻炼，承接前文。故选C。 5.后文“Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. (发展自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没有在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧。例如，如果你在减肥过程中建立自我控制，不要试图一下子只吃水果和蔬菜，因为这是一个太大的变化——更不用说不可持续了)”指出培养自控不是一蹴而就的事情，并以减肥中饮食的改变为例加以说明，因此B项“Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. (Inzlicht说，成功的另一个秘诀是循序渐进)”符合语境，点明培养自控需要循序渐进，契合后文内容，适合作为段落主旨句。故选B。 Passage 5 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 （2025·江苏泰州·高一下期中）If you feel that your sense of time has changed recently, you are not alone. Ottawa's Christina Chenard is one of those folks whose sense of time has been changed, and it has changed her life for the better. Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.___1___ "This moment has made us all pay much attention to things that truly matter in life, and changed our relationship to work," says Ashley Whillans, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. Here are four tips to create time affluence（富足）from Whillans. Catalog（记录）it In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going___2___Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results. Probably, far too much time is being spent on unproductive periods like travelling to and from work; or doing what you really dislike, mainly because you think you have to. ___3___ Yes, you can essentially devote more free time to yourself, by employing others to help with the things you dislike —like, say, cleaning your house. It will cost you some money, but if you can afford it, the effect on your life happiness will be wildly tremendous. Reshape your workday Making time-first decisions could change what your office life looks like. If your day is filled with long-time meetings, perhaps there are some you could skip. If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.___4___ Leisure time matters The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.___5___But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies. A. Buy more time. B. The same holds true for time. C. Reallocate your hours purposefully. D. That is "passive" leisure, and it is fine within reasonable limits. E. And you are creating large amounts of new space in your calendar. F. She sleeps more, commutes less and spends more quality time with her family. G. It doesn't necessarily require major life changes, like giving up your job or retiring early. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. A 4. E 5. D 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何管理时间的方法技巧。 1.上文“Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.（在疫情爆发前，她总是像无头苍蝇一样到处乱跑: 起得特别早，把两个孩子送到托儿所，然后赶着去参加会议，最后回到家里“崩溃，重新开始”。现在她主要在家工作，时间也变多了）”讲到Christina Chenard现在的时间变多了，说明她应是可以有更多时间睡觉，通勤时间也更少，能与家人共度更多美好时光。设空处位于段尾，有总结上文，承接上文的作用。F项“She sleeps more, commutes less and spends more quality time with her family”与上文一致。故选F。 2.上文“In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going.（在回顾你的财务生活时，第一件事就是弄清楚你的钱都花到哪里去了）”，以及下文“Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results.（写下你每天是如何度过的，精确到每分钟，然后仔细看看结果）”，结合设空处位于段中，起到承上启下的作用，说明设空处应是讲“正如回顾你的财务，第一件事就是弄清楚你的钱都花到哪里去了，时间也是如此”。B项“The same holds true for time.”与上文并列，与下文内容一致。故选B。 3.下文“Yes, you can essentially devote more free time to yourself, by employing others to help with the things you dislike —like, say, cleaning your house. It will cost you some money, but if you can afford it, the effect on your life happiness will be wildly tremendous.（是的，你可以从本质上把更多的空闲时间留给自己，通过雇佣别人来帮助做你不喜欢的事情，比如，打扫你的房子。这样做会花你一些钱，但如果你负担得起，它会给你的生活带来巨大的影响）”可知，本段主要内容为通过花钱雇佣别人来帮助做自己不喜欢的事情，更多的空闲时间留给自己。设空处位于文章段落小标题处，应是彰显段落大意。A项“Buy more time.”概况全段内容，与下文一致。故选A。 4.上文“Making time-first decisions could change what your office life looks like. If your day is filled with long-time meetings, perhaps there are some you could skip. If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.（时间优先的决定可能会改变你的办公室生活。如果你的一天充满了长时间的会议，也许有一些你可以跳过。如果你的办公室重新开张，也许你可以和雇主讨论一周在家工作几天的问题。把这一年节省的时间加起来）”讲的是如何节省时间，制作时间优先的决定。设空处位于段尾，对上文起总结作用，说明设空处应是上文做法得到的结果。E项“creating large amounts of new space in your calendar”与上文一致。故选E。 5.上文“The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.（拥有更多属于自己的时间并不意味着你可以在智能手机上玩游戏或打瞌睡）”以及下文“But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies.（但是你应该追求更多被证明能产生真正快乐的“积极”休闲活动，比如和朋友一起吃饭、做志愿者、锻炼或从事你最喜欢的爱好）”可知，玩游戏或打瞌睡是不积极的、消极的消遣行为。设空处与下文成转折关系，设空处承上启下。D项“That is "passive" leisure”与上文一致，“it is fine within reasonable limits”与下文一致。故选D。 Passage 6 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者) （2025·山东济南·高一下期中）Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____1____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument. Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. ____2____ Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. ____3____ Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across. Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. ____4____ You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down – especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before. ____5____ When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person. A. Have a heart-to-heart talk. B. Challenge the person to act. C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her. D. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently on. E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit. F.

For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past. ____1____ Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing.____2____ As our lives and working schedules get busier, people have less time to call friends simply to catch up. Phone calls, then, are kept only for important news in their lives. This tendency is also seen in the workplace. Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.____3____ ____4____ “I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says. ____5____ Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient. Perhaps now it’s time to accept the power of text and just as we gave up using the fax machine in the 1990s, we can leave the undesirable phone calls behind now. A. Others argue that phone calls are still irreplaceable. B. Over half believe unexpected calls signal bad news. C. For example, he often delays answering calls for hours. D. This pressure to multitask affects productivity negatively. E. Thus, texters emerged around 2000, using calls only for emergencies. F.

F 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了年轻一代对电话沟通的态度变化及其原因，并对比了不同代际的沟通偏好。 1.根据上文“For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past.(对老一辈来说，打电话是常态，但过去手机通话费用高昂)”可知，过去打手机电话很贵，空处承接上文，说明因为费用问题，人们开始选择其他交流方式。故E选项“因此，短信用户在2000年左右兴起，仅将通话用于紧急情况”切题，“Thus”表明因果关系，因为打电话贵，所以出现了更多发短信的人。故选E。 2.根据上文“Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing (由于没有打电话的习惯，现在的年轻人在打电话时感到尴尬，有些人甚至担心手机铃声会响起)”可知，年轻人不习惯打电话，甚至害怕接电话。空处承接上文，进一步说明这种负面情绪的具体表现。故B选项“超半数人认为意外来电意味着坏消息”进一步解释了年轻人害怕接电话的原因，即认为意外电话是坏消息，符合上下文逻辑。故选B。 3.根据上文“Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.(31岁的内容创作者亨利・纳尔逊表示，正是与实时对话相关的紧张感、可能出现的尴尬局面，以及需要立即做出回应的压力，让他讨厌打电话)”可知，亨利·纳尔逊讨厌打电话的原因，空处承接上文，进一步举例说明他如何避免打电话。故C选项“例如，他常拖延数小时才接电话”通过举例说明他讨厌打电话的具体表现，即推迟接电话，符合语境。故选C。 4.根据下文““I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says.(“我喜欢工作中的上级给我打电话。这比发短信更能体现心意，因为打电话需要付出一定的精力，所以我真切地知道我的老板是重视我的意见的，”她说)”可知，有人持与上文相反的观点，认为打电话有其优点。空处与上文为转折关系且引起下文。故G选项“然而，25岁的女性超市经理西亚拉·布罗迪却不这么认为”说明她与前面提到的讨厌打电话的情况相反，符合上下文逻辑。故选G。 5.根据下文“Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient. Perhaps now it’s time to accept the power of text and just as we gave up using the fax machine in the 1990s, we can leave the undesirable phone calls behind now.(有些人可能会说，这种新的交流趋势进一步证明了年轻人过于敏感，但实际上远非如此。25年前，人们反对从传真转向电子邮件，但这种改变使交流变得更加高效。也许现在是时候接受文本的力量了，就像我们在20世纪90年代放弃使用传真机一样，我们现在可以把令人讨厌的电话抛在脑后了)”可知，作者认为现在应该接受文本交流，放弃令人讨厌的电话。空处需引出这个观点。故F选项“传真机被淘汰，不受欢迎的电话亦可逐步淘汰”与下文的类比相呼应，符合语境。故选F。 话题2 文化与生活常识 Passage 1 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 England （2025·福建省三明市五县·高一下期中）England is the biggest of the four countries in the United Kingdom.

Here are five key strategies to help you. Motivation matters If someone says to you “Hey, if you remember our call tomorrow, I’ll give you $5,000,” instead of saying “Hey, remember our call tomorrow,” you are more likely to remember that you’ve scheduled the call.

Associate new information with what you know In order to learn any new piece of information, link it to something familiar. ___4___ You remember that it’s red, sweet, fruit, pie, etc. Your mind is constantly making countless associations every minute. This is how you learn. ___5___ Information by itself is forgettable, but information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory. When we add emotions to something, we may make it adventurous, action-filled, humorous so that we’re much more likely to remember it. By training memory through motivation, observation, and effective methods, we can reduce the negative effects of digital overuse and enhance our cognitive abilities. A. Think of a cherry, for example. B. Store information in your memory. C. Add emotion to make it memorable. D. Make sure you’re always carrying these around in your mental toolkit. E.

All apps collect data as you use them. Here are some good tips to keep your personal information safe. ___1___ For starters, download apps only from the App Store, not from random websites. ___2___ Before you accept an app’s terms and conditions, look at what information it’s planning to collect and think twice if it’s asking for too many permissions. For example, why would a gaming app need access to text messages? You may think it’s inconvenient, but it’s worth it. Also, most apps don’t need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard. ___3___ Don’t use your main e-mail address or social media account.

Finally, remember that privacy is an ongoing concern. Regularly review the apps you have installed and the permissions you’ve granted them. Stay informed about the latest privacy threats and solutions. ___5___ By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of apps while protecting your personal data. A. It’s better to be safe than sorry. B. How will you ever remember them all? C. Why is it so important to protect our privacy? D. Moreover, create strong, unique passwords for each app. E.

Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____1____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____2____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____3____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____4____ ____5____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals.

Ottawa's Christina Chenard is one of those folks whose sense of time has been changed, and it has changed her life for the better. Before the pandemic, she used to run around like a headless chicken: rising extremely early, getting two kids off to daycare, and then rushing to meetings, before coming home to "collapse and start all over again." Now she works mainly at home, and time is opening up.___1___ "This moment has made us all pay much attention to things that truly matter in life, and changed our relationship to work," says Ashley Whillans, an assistant professor at Harvard Business School. Here are four tips to create time affluence（富足）from Whillans. Catalog（记录）it In any review of your financial life, Job One is figuring out exactly where your cash is going___2___Write down how you are spending your days, down to the minute, and then take a hard look at the results. Probably, far too much time is being spent on unproductive periods like travelling to and from work; or doing what you really dislike, mainly because you think you have to. ___3___ Yes, you can essentially devote more free time to yourself, by employing others to help with the things you dislike —like, say, cleaning your house. It will cost you some money, but if you can afford it, the effect on your life happiness will be wildly tremendous. Reshape your workday Making time-first decisions could change what your office life looks like. If your day is filled with long-time meetings, perhaps there are some you could skip. If your office reopens, perhaps you could discuss with the employer about working from home a couple of days a week. Add up those time savings over the course of a year.___4___ Leisure time matters The point of having more time for yourself doesn't mean that you can spend it all playing games on your smartphone or dozing off.___5___But you are supposed to aim for more "active" leisure that is proven to produce real happiness, like having meals with friends, volunteering, exercising, or engaging in your favorite hobbies.

Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____1____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument. Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them.

For older generations, talking on the phone is normal. However, phone calls on the mobile would have cost a fortune in the past. ____1____ Without the habit of speaking on the phone, young people now feel awkward when taking phone calls and some even fear the worst when their phone starts ringing.____2____ As our lives and working schedules get busier, people have less time to call friends simply to catch up. Phone calls, then, are kept only for important news in their lives. This tendency is also seen in the workplace. Henry Nelson, a 31-year-old content creator, says it’s the tension connected with real-time conversations, possible awkwardness, and the pressure to respond immediately that makes him hate talking on the phone.____3____ ____4____ “I love it when my seniors at work call me. It’s more thoughtful than a text because it requires a certain amount of effort, so I really know that my boss appreciates my opinion,” she says. ____5____ Some people may say this new communication tendency is further proof of young people being overly sensitive, but it’s actually far from that. Twenty-five years ago, people were opposed to shifting from fax to email, but the change has made communication far more efficient.

Here are five key strategies to help you.
