Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海闵行·期中)Gathering her backpack for school, 14- year old Carolyn Milander burst into tears for the second time that week. “Not again, Carolyn!” her mother said, 1 , “When you get perfect grades, you’re on a high. But when you don’t get enough sleep, you get so tired and depressed! This 2 cycle has got to end!” Carolyn screamed, “I’m fine, just leave me alone!” Carolyn had just started at a new secondary school and was having trouble coping with the increased expectations and pressures to perform. This type of angry interchange is all too 3 for today’s teens and their parents, and it’s no surprise.
4 watching and hoping things would improve, Carolyn’s mother carried out a bit of personal research to find out what sort of help was available. She discovered that there was a special stress-reduction class at Carolyn’s school, known as “Happy Class”, and she 5 that Carolyn should attend it. That was four years ago. Recently, Carolyn told her story to a magazine for young people.
“I remember 6 climbing into the car and sitting silently as my mum drove me to my first Happy Class,” Carolyn said. “Then I shyly walked into the classroom and took a seat. With the lights off, the leaders and students sat facing each other in a circle. I felt 7 and embarrassed, hoping no one would see me when they walked by the classroom. We started by closing our eyes, focusing on our breathing.” As Carolyn began to notice her breath, she said, “I 8 thinking about people in the hallway. I felt really relaxed and focused on that moment in time.” This was a feeling she liked and she could tell she would 9 what the classes could offer.
Happy Class was a significant turning point for Carolyn. She began to explore deeper life issues, 10 what gave her feelings of happiness and fulfillment. She also learned to 11 herself for who she was, instead of striving to live up to other people’s ideas of success. Many of her friends and family expected her to attend Harvard or another top university, but Carolyn created her own 12 of happiness instead. She stopped 13 , organized her time better so she was able to relax and do things she enjoyed, and tried to eat more healthily. She realized that she could achieve happiness close to home, rather than by going to a top university. 14 , Carolyn decided to become a nurse and to apply to just one college — a 20-minute drive away. “I didn’t want to be 15 by a top university, even if I received a scholarship. I wanted to remain true to the goals I set for myself.”

Passage 2
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)UK safety advisers have dismissed concerns that highly processed food, also known as ultra-processed food(UPF), is automatically unhealthy because of the way it is made or its artificial ingredients.
The current way that the UK and most other countries 1 the nutritional value of foods—which is generally by how much fat, salt, sugar and calories they contain— remains the best approach to achieving a healthy diet, said a team of scientists. They also 2 that people who cut out all ultra-processed foods could make their diets more unhealthy, for instance, if they avoid foods such as yogurts, low-fat spreads, wholemeal bread and food made of grains.“We need to be driven by the 3 and not have this knee-jerk reaction that treats all UPF the same,”said Robin May, chief scientific adviser at the UK’s Food Standards Agency.
4 about processed foods have been growing, but it is unclear if there is something uniquely bad about them or if they just tend to be higher in things like fat and sugar. The issue has 5 this year since Chris vanTulleken, a doctor and TV presenter, published a book called Ultra-Processed People: Why do we all eat stuff that isn’t food... and why can’t we stop? Chris van Tulleken has called for more countries to adopt dietary guidelines pioneered in Brazil, where people are 6 to prioritise eating whole foods and homemade meals, and avoid eating factory-made foods.
On 27 September, researchers from nutrition organisations 7 the proposed system. “We 8 need foods to be processed so that we can feed the world,”said May at the University of Leeds, UK, who is a member of the British Nutrition Foundation. May also said UPF 9 products that are both healthy and unhealthy. “It’s important we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater here. There are many components that have a very important role to play in 10 and in safety,” he said.
Benefits of food processing include the use of preservatives that make food last longest and artificial sweeteners that help people 11 their sugar intake, said May. Other examples of processed foods that can be 12 include baby food, infant formula milk and breads with added vitamins and minerals, said the panel.
But Van Tulleken says that the evidence 13 UPF is strong. “There is an increasing amount of science describing the many ways in which UPF affects the human body,” he says. “The 14 of the food structure by industrial processing means that UPF is, in general, soft. This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel 15 until long after you’ve finished.

Passage 3
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Italy’s one-euro-home sales have been attracting a lot of interest over the past few years. Some towns like Mussomeli in Sicily and Zungoli in Campania have managed to 1 abandoned properties to foreigners pursuing the Italian dream. However, some have 2 to sell their empty homes. Among them is Patrica, a remote village of barely 3,000 residents located south of Rome, where more than 40 properties deserted in the early 1900s have been left 3 .
In an attempt to breathe new life into the dying village, the town’s mayor Lucio Fiordaliso has been trying to 4 the success of other Italian villages who’ve put their empty homes up for sale for one euro, or just over a dollar. “The process is not 5 . We first mapped out all abandoned houses and contacted the original owners to ask for permission. Only then can we place these properties up for sale with their 6 , which makes the process very complicated.” However, the permission from one owner of the house sometimes is not enough for the sale of potential one euro homes. That is because most relatives sharing the same property often 7 one another for personal reasons or some hardly speak or know each other.
Another reason that the one euro plan never really started in Patrica could be due to the 8 of its homes. Some of the houses are simply too neglected to sell, even if the owners were willing to agree to it. 9 , Patric a local Gianni Valleco and his two brothers decided to place their parents’ abandoned home on the market to see what would happen. But they soon disappointedly found that the house was far from 10 .
In the meantime, Fiordalis o has been coming up with new ways to 11 newcomers. He prompted several locals to entirely restyle their old family homes and put them to use after decades of neglect. “The mayor’s move finally gave us a good excuse to fully restore the property which had been sitting there 12 ,” says the locals. The mayor also decided to start operating some commercial activities like an B&B or a restaurant or a shopping center.
“There is 13 , but then when many foreigners actually see the bad shape of the old homes they’d prefer to opt for turn-key apartments that are already restyled or in need of just 14 fixes,” says Fiordaliso. “So it’s much more convenient to buy one of these newer ones than 15 an old building in need of major reconstruction, where the final cost would end up being much higher.” Despite these challenges, Fiordalis o hasn’t given up on selling the town’s long forgotten homes.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Real Life, Great Stories
With any kind of writing, it can be difficult to decide what should go in and what should be left out. However, when you are telling stories from real life — creative 1 — that task becomes even harder because your source material is vast and complicated.
Having decided the story you want to tell, it’s all too 2 to drift from the narrative path or to slow the pace by adding too much detail and description, so that you risk losing the reader. 3 , when it comes to redrafting, you may have to be particularly brutal (直截了当的) in killing your darlings.
“Killing your darlings” means cutting any 4 material, from words and sentences to complete scenes, and it’s hard because these will often be parts you have put great time, thought and care into crafting. Arthur Quiller-Couch 5 the phrase in his 1916 book On the Art of Writing: If you here require a practical 6 of me, I will present you with this: “Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate (作) a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey your impulse — whole-heartedly — and 7 it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings.”
It helps if you come to redrafting with a 8 mindset, regarding it as an ongoing part of the creative process rather than a red-pen exercise. The other thing that helps is if you always save a copy of your current version before you start polishing it, then nothing is irrevocably (无法改变地) lost, and that frees you to 9 big changes in the creative spirit of play.
With any kind of story, there are always 10 issues that need redrafting, because when you set out you don’t know exactly what the story will be. Fresh ideas come in along the way, and unexpected possibilities. As well as tightening the plot, sometimes a(n) 11 will emerge through the writing, so you gradually understand, ‘Ah — so this is what I’m writing about,’ and you will want to foreground that theme and cut parts that don’t 12 its development.
When it comes to the 13 , the voice of the story develops and becomes stronger through the writing too, so on redrafting you will be looking at word and sentence level changes, especially in the early chapters.
At the redrafting stage, you will have whole scenes that don’t develop the themes or don’t fit with voice of your story. You might be able to 14 them into a new book project or publish them on blogging platforms, but whatever happens to them, they have contributed to your experience and development as a writer. Let 15 go.

Passage 2
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Studies have shown that when people’s mental health improves, they’re more likely to 1 in their relationships and careers — and adopt healthier habits. People become more productive, find meaning in everyday experiences and are more equipped to cope with changes and obstacles when they feel mentally well. Here are four New Year’s resolutions experts expect people to make 2 mental health.
Rethink your social media use
Reflect on whether you’d like to continue with the same online habits in 2024, says Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist. “Do you want to set some 3 for yourself? Are there people you need to 4 ?” “For example, you might limit yourself to 15 minutes on social media per day, delete the most 5 apps from your phone during the workweek, or challenge yourself not to check social media when you’re feeling gloomy.
Reconnect with a long-lost friend
“Make new friends, but keep the old” is an adage (格言) for a reason. Loneliness affects physical and mental health while 6 social bonds are a slave. Resolve to reach out to “one person you lost touch with who used to be 7 to you,” Winch says. He recommends opening with a text like this: “I was thinking about you. It’s been so long. How are you?” 8 the message with a smiley face, he adds. “That’s important because when you say, ‘It’s been so long’, it can sound accusing.” A smiley face, Winch says, can ensure the 9 meaning — “I miss you” — comes across.
Plan four activities each week
The “core four” help guard against life’s stressors. First, do something 10 , like attending a football game or belting out a Taylor Swift album. Having fun “ 11 the stress by helping you accumulate more positive events than negative ones,” says Calvin Fitch, a clinical health psychologist. Then check off a “mastery activity”, like cleaning or running errands. Also important are being 12 — a sense of belonging facilitates better health — and doing physical activities that get your heart rate going.
Do something to relieve climate anxiety
If you’re 13 about the state of the planet — and more of us are — worrying won’t help. Instead, take a cue from Winch’s family: each year, they decide to do one thing to 14 their climate anxiety, like eliminating plastic bags, composting food scraps, or walking 15 minutes to nearby destinations instead of driving. “It’s overwhelming — I feel like I can’t get my arms around it,” he says. “But doing one small thing is a way of feeling like you’re 15 your goal.”
1.A.compete B.quit C.recall D.thrive
2.A.in memory of B.in the name of C.with the aid of D.with the exception of
3.A.boundaries B.standards C.records D.examples

Passage 3
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others 1 in a wild anger. Both habits have bad effects on our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to 2 their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be 3 . ” When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it.
4 , many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators at the University of Rochester noticed that people who 5 their emotions tend to have shorter life spans. They’re more likely to die earlier from cancer, 6 . When we’re angry, stress hormones are released, which can make us more likely to develop a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, depression, and autoimmune conditions.
Is it better, then, to 7 whenever something makes you mad? That’s the fundamental reason behind the “rage rooms” that have popped up in many American cities, where folks are invited to release their anger by violently having stuff 8 in a “safe” environment.
“The theory is that you get the anger out of your system through aggressive actions, and it’s 9 , ” says Keelan. “But the research indicates that when we display our anger aggressively, it can actually increase the 10 of the anger — and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future.” It doesn’t take much imagination to 11 how displaying anger violently can affect your relationships with your spouse, your kids, or your co-workers. It also 12 your health. A large 2016 study at McMaster University found that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack after an angry outburst. The increased blood pressure and heart rate put 13 on the cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
If we shouldn’t bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behaviour isn’t healthy either, how should we 14 things that irritate us? It’s the extreme highs and lows that take a toll. If you’re able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those 15 , you can have a gentler ride.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Before arriving in Paris, Wu Shuyun, a 56-year-old Chinese housewife, imagined the French capital to be like film set for a romantic love story, 1 herself as a fashionable princess surrounded by elegant Parisians.
Instead, Ms. Wu said she was 2 by the cigarette butts and dog poo on the street, and the 3 of the locals. Though friends had warned her about 4 targeting Chinese people, she said she was nevertheless surprised when a number of her tour group was 5 on a crowded Metro train, as other passengers looked on.
“For the Chinese, France has always been romantic, mysterious and 6 ,” Ms. Wu said after a two-week tour. “Once I realized that the Parisians were indifferent, I made a 7 : try to make the most of the trip, but never come back to Paris again.”
Psychologists warned that Chinese tourists, shaken by 8 , were at risk of Paris Syndrome, a condition during which foreigners suffer depression and anxiety when their rosy imagination of champagne, magnificent architecture and Monet are 9 .
The expression was coined 30 years ago by Paris-based Japanese psychiatrist, Hiroaki Ota, after several Japanese visitors to Paris fell ill when their culture of 10 was met with French arrogance (傲慢).
Thomas Deschamps, the head of research at the Paris Tourism Office, said culture shock was particularly 11 among travelers from Asia, who sometimes wrongly regarded the French capital as a museum.
“They watch movies like Amelie (《天使爱美丽》). They think all Parisians carry Louis Vuitton purses and smell like Dior,” Thomas said. “They don’t know about the working-class suburbs, the overworked waiters, the more 12 parts of the city. Paris is not a museum. People are 13 . They are stressed and living their lives.”
To help protect Chinese tourists, the local tourism industry has redoubled its efforts to be more 14 sensitive. An online guide for hotels and businesses notes that for serving Chinese visitors, “a simple 15 and hello in their language will obviously put them at ease.”

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Pickleball was invented in 1965 and became an instant hit with its unique combination of badminton, tennis, and table-tennis. Some consider it a(n) 1 version of tennis-it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts.
The source of the 2 is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. 3 special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts.
Basic economics teaches students about substitute and complementary (互补的) goods. Substitutes are goods that can be 4 by one another-think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other. Complements are the 5 . Rising demand for one stimulates demand for the other - think cars and petrol. It is 6 to see why the two sports appear to be substitutes. Public-court space is 7 and private clubs can be expensive. As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also 8 , but growth in courts has not kept pace.
In the long run, however, the impact of pickleball on tennis is not necessarily 9 . There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary.
First, what is really apparent is a rise in demand for facilities in which both sports can be played, and local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts. If 10 keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports.
11 , the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less 12 for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more 13 sports - one that encourages children to progress to tennis 14 they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work 15 . Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball.

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·上海·期末)Don’t Hibernate
AH, WINTER, the season of roast dinners and heated blankets. Not so much time for getting up early to hit the gym, going for a run in the evening darkness, or even taking a brief walk at lunch time. The evidence confirms what you probably 1 . In winter, most people tend to spend more time in a sedentary (久坐的) way. Does that mean we casual exercisers are fated to 2 in the icy months, or are there ways to address it? And does anything about the colder, darker months actually make maintaining our 3 easier?
First of all, it is helpful for you to make the effort during winter, even if you are not 4 about your six-pack (发达的腹肌). Seasonal affective disorder (properly abbreviated as SAD), which is often linked to reduced 5 to sunlight during the shorter winter days, may affect not just mood but your health as well. While exercise is not a cure-all, studies suggest that it can help to 6 the mood disorder.
Are there benefits to training in cold weather? This is 7 . For years, it was assumed that bodies burn more calories in the cold to keep warm, while also helping the body’s-white fat to take on the properties of brown fat, which 8 as a fuel to maintain body temperature. However, just how beneficial the process can be is open to 9 .
Still, the benefits of exercise make it more than worth toughing out the odd pre-dawn alarm. But how do you get it done? “My top tip would be to either use your commute (通勤) to get your workout in, or make sure you get out again as soon as you get home,” says running coach Havley Hemmings. “I’d also 10 teaming up with someone so you’re accountable to go for a run.”
Of course, if training outdoors does not sound like fun, even when you are 11 up, there are other options. Walking 4,000 steps a day, for example, can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality (死亡率). At the other end of the range, a short, sharp 12 of high-intensity interval training can boost your mood while helping to reduce fat. If you are not used to training, an entry-level 13 is the Timmons Method, or 20 seconds of squats (深蹲) or kettlebell (壶铃) swings work, followed by two minutes of active recovery (just moving around) repeated a few times.
And finally, don’t 14 the importance of your mood on getting you to work out in the first place. There is fairly strong evidence that 15 vitamin D can positively affect your mood, and it is nearly impossible to get enough from the sun in winter. Get a supplement (补充剂) — and don’t be afraid to chase it with roast dinners.

After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in the book from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
High marks are for 1 , not grit (硬扛,死磕). In the past, students understood that hard work was not sufficient; an A required great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for 2 at (most) classes.
This isn’t Gen Z’s fault. It’s the result of a(n) 3 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck published groundbreaking experiments that changed how many parents and teachers talk to kids. Praising kids for their abilities 4 their resilience (韧劲), making them more likely to give up when they encountered setbacks. To persist and learn in the face of challenges, kids needed to believe that abilities and skills are 5 , and the best way to nurture this growth mindset was to shift from praising intelligence to effort. This idea quickly made its way into viral articles, best-selling books and popular TED talks.
Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort cultivates a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. That’s especially 6 for students who weren’t born into comfort or don’t have a record of achievement. 7 , the problem is that we’ve taken the practice of celebrating hard work. We are treating it as an end in itself. We’ve taught a generation of kids that their worth is defined 8 by their work ethic. That does great harm to the students.
One study found that if there wasn’t a time limit, the higher people scored on their own 9 , the more likely they were to stick to a task they will never accomplish. This is what worries me most about valuing perseverance above all else: It can motivate people to stick with a bad 10 instead of developing better ones. With students, a textbook example is pulling all-nighters rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents owe kids a more 11 message. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. Motivation is only one of multiple variables (变量) in the achievement equation (等式). Ability, opportunity and luck 12 , too.
The ideal 13 to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. It’s to ask how you could make your investment 14 better. Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times it’s working on something else altogether.
Every teacher should support students to succeed. In my classes, I make it clear that my goal is to give as many A’s as possible. But they’re earned through mastering all. The true 15 of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海闵行·期中)Could you eat your pet Guinea pig? In recent years, that question has become a classic example in cultural anthropology (人类学) classes that relate to the 1 nature of our attitudes towards food.
Think about it. On one side of the great Guinea Pig Divide stand Andean cultures, who have long treated the furry creature as a nutritious source of food. On the other side are European and US cultures, where the animal is 2 considered a beloved pet.
While western children would doubtlessly react with 3 to the idea of eating these little creatures, to some cultures in Ecuador and Peru it seems equally strange to cherish them as pets. 4 , how we treat guinea pigs is one of the many small ways in which we define our sense of what exactly is considered “exotic”.
As any anthropology class will also teach you, 5 others as “exotic” or “weird”, because of food or anything else, also makes it easier to demonise (妖魔化) them. However, there is another side to this. Culture can often be more 6 than we realise, particularly in a globalised age. Gideon Lasco, an anthropologist from the Philippines, has been studying the issue of how and why Andean cultures cat guinea pigs. His research starts by 7 that this food is a social divider not just between Andean cultures and the West, but also inside of countries such as Peru.
Some Andean cultures have eaten guinea pigs, known as cuy, for centuries. But in recent decades, urban Peruvians have 8 , knowing that westerners view the practice in a negative light.
More recently, however, notes Lasco, two striking 9 have emerged. First, some western tourists have started to view eating guinea-pig dishes as 10 . While globalisation has already brought dishes from around the world into western supermarkets, chopped guinea pig is not yet 11 in Walmart, hence its value as an “experience”. Second, some educated Peruvian have also become more interested in defining and championing what makes them 12 in a globalized world by creating a new form of cuy cuisine in Lima. “As eating’ local’ becomes more fashionable around the world, wealthier people have been 13 time-honored foods,” Lasco writes.
Those furry creatures are no longer just a sign of global 14 but of cultural flexibility. This may not, however, make western kids feel any better about the idea of their pets being cooked. But the issue should help them (and adults) to 15 that our assumptions need not be set in stone, or cages.

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·上海嘉定·期中)I decided to retire my personal social website account. It all began with a detailed review of my own Instagram account. I worked out that more than 80 per cent of the photos I had posted featured my 1 . In some ways this seemed 2 . If social websites are for a simple game of showing off, these two are clearly my pride.
Next, however, I examined my husband’s post for 3 . In real life, he loves the kids no less than I do. Yet between his two social website accounts, they featured in only about 25 per cent of his photos. The 4 was split between a) kitchens he had designed and b) vinyl (黑胶) records he had purchased (the former being his job, the latter his addiction). We divide our time between work and childcare in comparable proportions. Yet the 5 suggested by our online selves was quite different.
According to Katrin Tiidenberg, associate professor of social media and visual culture at Tallinn University, who is publishing a forthcoming book called Sex and Social Media, this is because men and women often have different 6 for sharing information on social media.
When my husband posted a photo of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska on vinyl, his aim was 7 , my conversation with Tiidenberg implied. As the words on his post suggested, he mainly wanted the world to know that the 1982 album is: “so good”.
When I posted a photo of our daughter eating fish fingers in fancy dress, sure, I was 8 . She looked amazing. I was hoping that her star quality might reflect, just a little, on me. But according to Tiidenberg: “Women tend to use social media as a tool to maintain their social 9 . They take those into account when they post and when deciding how they post.” A photo of a five-year-old in fancy-dress, 10 , doesn’t just say: “so good”. It can, meanwhile, say: “Hello godmother, who we feel guilty for cancelling on the other day”, “Hello cousins, who are now in Australia and feel a little disconnected...”
Tiidenberg is careful to stress that she’s “not making any essentialist argument” about women and men’s 11 for either type of content. Instead, she argues, women have always been trained to take responsibility for cultivating and managing social networks: “They’re told it’s what they’re 12 .”
In the distant pre-digital past, women were 13 guardians of the family photo album. And even today, says Tiidenberg, a division of 14 labor endures within many families in our offline worlds: “Who remembers people’s birthdays, sends your mother a card and buys the Christmas presents?” The knowledge that I had also 15 responsibility for the online equivalent made me feel angry.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海杨浦·期中)Most people don’t think too much about chemicals around us, but actually they are all around us. Many substances 1 chemicals, including the air that we breathe and the water that we drink. Some chemicals are natural, but most of them are 2 and may be harmful to the human body.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the United States and destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes, so displaced people had to move into temporary housing. Later, some of them began experiencing headaches and nosebleeds due to formaldehyde (甲醛) 3 .
This strong chemical is commonly found in the glue that holds many household products and presses wood furniture together. It has been classified as a carcinogen (致癌物) since 2011 and has been 4 to an increase in asthma and other diseases in children. It has also been 5 as a poisonous chemical in China.
6 , there is another choice: natural glues. In particular, ones made from soy proteins that have been modified to 7 the protein some shellfish use to stick to rocks. A natural glue is now widely used in composite (合成的) wood products in the U.S. Other companies are also developing more natural 8 to dangerous industrial chemicals. This is a part of the Green Chemistry philosophy.
Green Chemistry is a way of rethinking how to develop products and processes that are more environmentally friendly, better for people’s health and yet are economically 9 . That includes reducing processing waste, using renewable materials and lessening the energy required to manufacture products. The Principles of Green Chemistry 10 the goals of this approach to chemical research and the chemical industry. The first is prevention. It is better to prevent waste than to 11 it or clean it up. Another principle encourages less hazardous chemical mixture. Chemical reactions should be designed to be as safe as possible. Energy 12 is encouraged as well as using chemicals made from renewable plant-based sources rather than petrochemical ones. Attention also needs to be paid to monitoring pollution in real time and choosing and developing chemical procedures that are safer and that 13 the risk of accidents.
There are 14 in meeting and holding to the principles of Green Chemistry, but this will stimulate new research and inspire the discovery of new chemistry. Green Chemistry can decrease pollution and increase the 15 development of the earth, thus improving the quality of life for humans and animals for years to come.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海嘉定·期中)In its best days, a visit to the London Trocadero was the highlight of many tourist trips to Britain. Opened in 1896, it was one of the grandest restaurants in the world. After a long decline it 1 in 1965. Yet soon the Trocadero will be on the London tourist-map once again: a 583-room hotel has come back.
It is a(n) 2 of the hotel boom currently under way in London. The number of hotel rooms has risen from 129,000 in 2013 to 149,000 today. Last year occupancy rates reached their highest in a decade and average prices were higher than ever.
The hotels’ boom is 3 , given the competition from sharing-economy websites and apps that allow people to rent out their spare rooms to travellers. Airbnb, the biggest such service, has 4 hotel revenues (收入) in some American cities by as much as 10%.
By comparison, the impact of room-booking apps has been 5 in London. Only 0.5% of Londoners advertise their 6 on Airbnb, compared with 2.4% of Parisians. One reason is that there is a 7 of reasonably priced residential stock near London’s main tourist attractions, which are occupied by offices and mansions. And according to a recent report by Citi, a bank, the growth of Airbnb listings in London and other big European cities is already 8 , meaning that Londoners’ spare rooms are unlikely to be able to handle much more demand.
Hotels have also benefited from a change in the 9 of visitors coming to Britain. While the strong pound has persuaded many tourists to go to cheaper destinations, business travellers cannot avoid London so easily. So although tourist spending didn’t witness a(n) 10 in 2015, businessfolk rose by 7% in Britain compared with the previous year.
Unlike holidaymakers who are willing to book a room in a stranger’s home on Airbnb to save a few pounds, most businesspeople are travelling on expense accounts and 11 to spend. Meanwhile their employers, with a duty to ensure safety, remain 12 booking spare rooms, which they fear conceal slippery stairs, faulty electrics and other hazards. This 13 hoteliers nicely.
But not all of them. Business travellers may not yet be switching to Airbnb, but they are 14 their costs. More than half the new rooms built in London this year will be operated by budget brands. Even the once-luxurious Trocadero cannot 15 that trend. Having made its name a century ago selling nine-course meals to the upper classes, in 2017 it re-opened — but as a budget hotel.

(24-25高二下·上海黄浦·期中)Racket, din, clamor, noise, whatever you want to call it, unwanted sound is America’s most widespread nuisan Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological 1 .
No one is immune to this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by 2 it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still responds—sometimes with extreme 3 , as to strange sound in the night.
The 4 we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward 5 of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability (易怒,烦躁) is so apparent, legislators(立法者) have made public annoyance the 6 of many noise reduction programs. The more subtle and more serious health hazards associated with stress caused by noise 7 have been given much less attention. 8 , when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health.
Of many health hazards of noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and 9 by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down. For many of us, there may be a risk that excessive 10 to the stress of noise increases vulnerability to disease and infection. The more vulnerable among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in healthy persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body.
Noise affect us throughout our lives. For example, there are 11 of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters affected by high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and 12 necessary amounts of rest. Why, then, is there not greater 13 about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or disease has not yet been 14 demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to 15 annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)The Unseen World of Animal Behavior
In the wild, animals exhibit fascinating behaviors that often 1 from season to season. During the breeding season, for instance, some birds perform incredible feats to attract mates, while others focus on 2 their young. Scientists have long tried to 3 these complex patterns, but many aspects remain unclear.
One prominent discovery is how certain animals 4 their body temperature in extreme environments. Unlike humans, who rely on technology, these creatures have natural abilities to 5 for the challenges of their habitats. For example, Arctic foxes 6 their fur with thick layers of fat, a clever adaptation that helps them survive.
Researchers often conduct experiments to study these behaviors. In one case, a team used a sand pit to observe how wolves interact, with some wolves acting as a control group. The results showed a statistically significant difference in their social structures, proving that animal intelligence 7 beyond simple instincts.
Technology has also found its way into this field. High-tech cameras now enable scientists to document animal experiences without human 8 . These tools have become building blocks for new discoveries, allowing us to 9 into the hidden lives of creatures we once knew little about. However, not all animal behaviors are easy to interpret. Some actions happen at random, leaving researchers puzzled. Yet, even these mysteries 10 , as they often lead to groundbreaking insights. 11 , the way dolphins communicate was once dismissed as noise, but it is now regarded as a 12 language system.
In zoos, caretakers must nurture the animals’ natural instincts while ensuring their safety. This balance is crucial to maintaining their health. Some zoos have even 13 live streams of their animals, giving the public a chance to follow up their daily lives. These efforts help 14 the gap between humans and the animal kingdom, reminding us that every species has a unique role to play in nature’s grand story — whatever fortune has to 15 it.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海黄浦·期末)The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it 1 our kids.
Al Gore famously 2 how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, 3 that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When 4 with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on handling climate change.
This 5 is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying excessively about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, 6 , on global warming’s impact on Datong malaria (疟疾) — which will put slightly more people at 7 in 100 years — instead of dealing with the half a billion people 8 from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.
Exaggeration also wears out the public’s 9 to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed owing to global warming, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A majority of people now believe — 10 — that global warming is not even caused by humans.
But the 11 cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes — particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal 12 from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are 13 effective outlets for their eight-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, 14 to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half- century, to about 22,000. Despite the possible 15 of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·上海宝山·期末)How Do Fish Survive in Icy Waters?
Animals like seals, penguins, and a wide variety of sea birds are all fish eaters. They live in the Arctic and Antarctic Circle, among the icecaps. The land is completely frozen. Yet these animals 1 to live in this region. How do they do it?
The icy waters of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans 2 a great amount of marine life. For millions of years, life has remained unchanged, making it possible for these animals to 3 these particular patterns of existence.
But they do get some help from 4 . All liquids have a boiling point and a freezing point. When the outside temperature 5 below the freezing point of water, lakes and rivers get frozen. 6 , only the top layer of the lake or river freezes. Underneath the frozen upper layer, the water remains in its 7 form and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. 8 , fish and other marine animals find it possible to live comfortably in the frozen lakes and ponds.
But why doesn’t the entire body of water 9 , like a giant, lake-sized ice-cube?
During winter months in colder countries, the outside temperature is very low and the upper layers of water in the lakes and ponds start 10 . When the temperature of the surface layers falls to 4℃, the water body acquires maximum density and 11 . The water that drops down 12 the water below, and the lower layers of water simultaneously rise up. This also gets cooled to 4℃ and again falls down.
When the temperature of the water body finally goes below 4℃, the density or heaviness of water decreases and as a result water does not sink down. The 13 water finally freezes at 0℃while the lower part still remains at 4℃. The light frozen layer of ice floats on top.
Ice does not allow heat to pass through it easily, so the freezing of the waters below is a very 14 process. At depths below 30 metres, temperatures are cold and stable but food is scarce. As a result, certain species of flatfish and polar fish have a(n) 15 growing rate, so that they can adapt to this tough situation to survive.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海闵行·期中)Gathering her backpack for school, 14- year old Carolyn Milander burst into tears for the second time that week. “Not again, Carolyn!” her mother said, 1 , “When you get perfect grades, you’re on a high. But when you don’t get enough sleep, you get so tired and depressed! This 2 cycle has got to end!” Carolyn screamed, “I’m fine, just leave me alone!” Carolyn had just started at a new secondary school and was having trouble coping with the increased expectations and pressures to perform. This type of angry interchange is all too 3 for today’s teens and their parents, and it’s no surprise.
4 watching and hoping things would improve, Carolyn’s mother carried out a bit of personal research to find out what sort of help was available. She discovered that there was a special stress-reduction class at Carolyn’s school, known as “Happy Class”, and she 5 that Carolyn should attend it. That was four years ago. Recently, Carolyn told her story to a magazine for young people.
“I remember 6 climbing into the car and sitting silently as my mum drove me to my first Happy Class,” Carolyn said. “Then I shyly walked into the classroom and took a seat. With the lights off, the leaders and students sat facing each other in a circle. I felt 7 and embarrassed, hoping no one would see me when they walked by the classroom. We started by closing our eyes, focusing on our breathing.” As Carolyn began to notice her breath, she said, “I 8 thinking about people in the hallway. I felt really relaxed and focused on that moment in time.” This was a feeling she liked and she could tell she would 9 what the classes could offer.
Happy Class was a significant turning point for Carolyn. She began to explore deeper life issues, 10 what gave her feelings of happiness and fulfillment. She also learned to 11 herself for who she was, instead of striving to live up to other people’s ideas of success. Many of her friends and family expected her to attend Harvard or another top university, but Carolyn created her own 12 of happiness instead. She stopped 13 , organized her time better so she was able to relax and do things she enjoyed, and tried to eat more healthily. She realized that she could achieve happiness close to home, rather than by going to a top university. 14 , Carolyn decided to become a nurse and to apply to just one college — a 20-minute drive away. “I didn’t want to be 15 by a top university, even if I received a scholarship. I wanted to remain true to the goals I set for myself.”

Passage 2
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)UK safety advisers have dismissed concerns that highly processed food, also known as ultra-processed food(UPF), is automatically unhealthy because of the way it is made or its artificial ingredients.
The current way that the UK and most other countries 1 the nutritional value of foods—which is generally by how much fat, salt, sugar and calories they contain— remains the best approach to achieving a healthy diet, said a team of scientists. They also 2 that people who cut out all ultra-processed foods could make their diets more unhealthy, for instance, if they avoid foods such as yogurts, low-fat spreads, wholemeal bread and food made of grains.“We need to be driven by the 3 and not have this knee-jerk reaction that treats all UPF the same,”said Robin May, chief scientific adviser at the UK’s Food Standards Agency.
4 about processed foods have been growing, but it is unclear if there is something uniquely bad about them or if they just tend to be higher in things like fat and sugar. The issue has 5 this year since Chris vanTulleken, a doctor and TV presenter, published a book called Ultra-Processed People: Why do we all eat stuff that isn’t food... and why can’t we stop? Chris van Tulleken has called for more countries to adopt dietary guidelines pioneered in Brazil, where people are 6 to prioritise eating whole foods and homemade meals, and avoid eating factory-made foods.
On 27 September, researchers from nutrition organisations 7 the proposed system. “We 8 need foods to be processed so that we can feed the world,”said May at the University of Leeds, UK, who is a member of the British Nutrition Foundation. May also said UPF 9 products that are both healthy and unhealthy. “It’s important we don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater here. There are many components that have a very important role to play in 10 and in safety,” he said.
Benefits of food processing include the use of preservatives that make food last longest and artificial sweeteners that help people 11 their sugar intake, said May. Other examples of processed foods that can be 12 include baby food, infant formula milk and breads with added vitamins and minerals, said the panel.
But Van Tulleken says that the evidence 13 UPF is strong. “There is an increasing amount of science describing the many ways in which UPF affects the human body,” he says. “The 14 of the food structure by industrial processing means that UPF is, in general, soft. This means you eat it fast, which means you eat far more calories per minute and don’t feel 15 until long after you’ve finished.

Passage 3
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Italy’s one-euro-home sales have been attracting a lot of interest over the past few years. Some towns like Mussomeli in Sicily and Zungoli in Campania have managed to 1 abandoned properties to foreigners pursuing the Italian dream. However, some have 2 to sell their empty homes. Among them is Patrica, a remote village of barely 3,000 residents located south of Rome, where more than 40 properties deserted in the early 1900s have been left 3 .
In an attempt to breathe new life into the dying village, the town’s mayor Lucio Fiordaliso has been trying to 4 the success of other Italian villages who’ve put their empty homes up for sale for one euro, or just over a dollar. “The process is not 5 . We first mapped out all abandoned houses and contacted the original owners to ask for permission. Only then can we place these properties up for sale with their 6 , which makes the process very complicated.” However, the permission from one owner of the house sometimes is not enough for the sale of potential one euro homes. That is because most relatives sharing the same property often 7 one another for personal reasons or some hardly speak or know each other.
Another reason that the one euro plan never really started in Patrica could be due to the 8 of its homes. Some of the houses are simply too neglected to sell, even if the owners were willing to agree to it. 9 , Patric a local Gianni Valleco and his two brothers decided to place their parents’ abandoned home on the market to see what would happen. But they soon disappointedly found that the house was far from 10 .
In the meantime, Fiordalis o has been coming up with new ways to 11 newcomers. He prompted several locals to entirely restyle their old family homes and put them to use after decades of neglect. “The mayor’s move finally gave us a good excuse to fully restore the property which had been sitting there 12 ,” says the locals. The mayor also decided to start operating some commercial activities like an B&B or a restaurant or a shopping center.
“There is 13 , but then when many foreigners actually see the bad shape of the old homes they’d prefer to opt for turn-key apartments that are already restyled or in need of just 14 fixes,” says Fiordaliso. “So it’s much more convenient to buy one of these newer ones than 15 an old building in need of major reconstruction, where the final cost would end up being much higher.” Despite these challenges, Fiordalis o hasn’t given up on selling the town’s long forgotten homes.

话题2 做人与做事
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Real Life, Great Stories
With any kind of writing, it can be difficult to decide what should go in and what should be left out. However, when you are telling stories from real life — creative 1 — that task becomes even harder because your source material is vast and complicated.
Having decided the story you want to tell, it’s all too 2 to drift from the narrative path or to slow the pace by adding too much detail and description, so that you risk losing the reader. 3 , when it comes to redrafting, you may have to be particularly brutal (直截了当的) in killing your darlings.
“Killing your darlings” means cutting any 4 material, from words and sentences to complete scenes, and it’s hard because these will often be parts you have put great time, thought and care into crafting. Arthur Quiller-Couch 5 the phrase in his 1916 book On the Art of Writing: If you here require a practical 6 of me, I will present you with this: “Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate (作) a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey your impulse — whole-heartedly — and 7 it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings.”
It helps if you come to redrafting with a 8 mindset, regarding it as an ongoing part of the creative process rather than a red-pen exercise. The other thing that helps is if you always save a copy of your current version before you start polishing it, then nothing is irrevocably (无法改变地) lost, and that frees you to 9 big changes in the creative spirit of play.
With any kind of story, there are always 10 issues that need redrafting, because when you set out you don’t know exactly what the story will be. Fresh ideas come in along the way, and unexpected possibilities. As well as tightening the plot, sometimes a(n) 11 will emerge through the writing, so you gradually understand, ‘Ah — so this is what I’m writing about,’ and you will want to foreground that theme and cut parts that don’t 12 its development.
When it comes to the 13 , the voice of the story develops and becomes stronger through the writing too, so on redrafting you will be looking at word and sentence level changes, especially in the early chapters.
At the redrafting stage, you will have whole scenes that don’t develop the themes or don’t fit with voice of your story. You might be able to 14 them into a new book project or publish them on blogging platforms, but whatever happens to them, they have contributed to your experience and development as a writer. Let 15 go.

Passage 2
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Studies have shown that when people’s mental health improves, they’re more likely to 1 in their relationships and careers — and adopt healthier habits. People become more productive, find meaning in everyday experiences and are more equipped to cope with changes and obstacles when they feel mentally well. Here are four New Year’s resolutions experts expect people to make 2 mental health.
Rethink your social media use
Reflect on whether you’d like to continue with the same online habits in 2024, says Nedra Glover Tawwab, a therapist. “Do you want to set some 3 for yourself? Are there people you need to 4 ?” “For example, you might limit yourself to 15 minutes on social media per day, delete the most 5 apps from your phone during the workweek, or challenge yourself not to check social media when you’re feeling gloomy.
Reconnect with a long-lost friend
“Make new friends, but keep the old” is an adage (格言) for a reason. Loneliness affects physical and mental health while 6 social bonds are a slave. Resolve to reach out to “one person you lost touch with who used to be 7 to you,” Winch says. He recommends opening with a text like this: “I was thinking about you. It’s been so long. How are you?” 8 the message with a smiley face, he adds. “That’s important because when you say, ‘It’s been so long’, it can sound accusing.” A smiley face, Winch says, can ensure the 9 meaning — “I miss you” — comes across.
Plan four activities each week
The “core four” help guard against life’s stressors. First, do something 10 , like attending a football game or belting out a Taylor Swift album. Having fun “ 11 the stress by helping you accumulate more positive events than negative ones,” says Calvin Fitch, a clinical health psychologist. Then check off a “mastery activity”, like cleaning or running errands. Also important are being 12 — a sense of belonging facilitates better health — and doing physical activities that get your heart rate going.
Do something to relieve climate anxiety
If you’re 13 about the state of the planet — and more of us are — worrying won’t help. Instead, take a cue from Winch’s family: each year, they decide to do one thing to 14 their climate anxiety, like eliminating plastic bags, composting food scraps, or walking 15 minutes to nearby destinations instead of driving. “It’s overwhelming — I feel like I can’t get my arms around it,” he says. “But doing one small thing is a way of feeling like you’re 15 your goal.”

Passage 3
(23-24高二下·上海·期中)Anger isn’t a pleasant feeling. Some of us bottle up the emotion, while others 1 in a wild anger. Both habits have bad effects on our bodies, our minds, and our relationships.
Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. “A lot of people think they have to 2 their anger,” says Patrick Keelan, a registered psychologist. “But anger is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be 3 . ” When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it.
4 , many of us have been conditioned to keep our emotions hidden. Increasingly, research is suggesting that this can have long-term effects on our health. Investigators at the University of Rochester noticed that people who 5 their emotions tend to have shorter life spans. They’re more likely to die earlier from cancer, 6 . When we’re angry, stress hormones are released, which can make us more likely to develop a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, depression, and autoimmune conditions.
Is it better, then, to 7 whenever something makes you mad? That’s the fundamental reason behind the “rage rooms” that have popped up in many American cities, where folks are invited to release their anger by violently having stuff 8 in a “safe” environment.
“The theory is that you get the anger out of your system through aggressive actions, and it’s 9 , ” says Keelan. “But the research indicates that when we display our anger aggressively, it can actually increase the 10 of the anger — and increase the likelihood of aggressive actions in the future.” It doesn’t take much imagination to 11 how displaying anger violently can affect your relationships with your spouse, your kids, or your co-workers. It also 12 your health. A large 2016 study at McMaster University found that people are more than twice as likely to have a heart attack after an angry outburst. The increased blood pressure and heart rate put 13 on the cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
If we shouldn’t bottle up our angry feelings but aggressive behaviour isn’t healthy either, how should we 14 things that irritate us? It’s the extreme highs and lows that take a toll. If you’re able to apply techniques that smooth out some of those 15 , you can have a gentler ride.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Before arriving in Paris, Wu Shuyun, a 56-year-old Chinese housewife, imagined the French capital to be like film set for a romantic love story, 1 herself as a fashionable princess surrounded by elegant Parisians.
Instead, Ms. Wu said she was 2 by the cigarette butts and dog poo on the street, and the 3 of the locals. Though friends had warned her about 4 targeting Chinese people, she said she was nevertheless surprised when a number of her tour group was 5 on a crowded Metro train, as other passengers looked on.
“For the Chinese, France has always been romantic, mysterious and 6 ,” Ms. Wu said after a two-week tour. “Once I realized that the Parisians were indifferent, I made a 7 : try to make the most of the trip, but never come back to Paris again.”
Psychologists warned that Chinese tourists, shaken by 8 , were at risk of Paris Syndrome, a condition during which foreigners suffer depression and anxiety when their rosy imagination of champagne, magnificent architecture and Monet are 9 .
The expression was coined 30 years ago by Paris-based Japanese psychiatrist, Hiroaki Ota, after several Japanese visitors to Paris fell ill when their culture of 10 was met with French arrogance (傲慢).
Thomas Deschamps, the head of research at the Paris Tourism Office, said culture shock was particularly 11 among travelers from Asia, who sometimes wrongly regarded the French capital as a museum.
“They watch movies like Amelie (《天使爱美丽》). They think all Parisians carry Louis Vuitton purses and smell like Dior,” Thomas said. “They don’t know about the working-class suburbs, the overworked waiters, the more 12 parts of the city. Paris is not a museum. People are 13 . They are stressed and living their lives.”
To help protect Chinese tourists, the local tourism industry has redoubled its efforts to be more 14 sensitive. An online guide for hotels and businesses notes that for serving Chinese visitors, “a simple 15 and hello in their language will obviously put them at ease.”

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海·期中)Pickleball was invented in 1965 and became an instant hit with its unique combination of badminton, tennis, and table-tennis. Some consider it a(n) 1 version of tennis-it requires less power and less running. However, there has been a turf war (争夺战) between traditional tennis players and the rapidly growing pickleball community. Some tennis players accuse pickleballers of taking up courts.
The source of the 2 is a familiar one to economists: the distribution of a limited resource. Pickleball has gained widespread popularity since the covid-19 pandemic, especially among those over the age of 55. 3 special courts, many pickleballers started using public tennis courts.
Basic economics teaches students about substitute and complementary (互补的) goods. Substitutes are goods that can be 4 by one another-think Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Rising demand for one will lead to falling demand for the other. Complements are the 5 . Rising demand for one stimulates demand for the other - think cars and petrol. It is 6 to see why the two sports appear to be substitutes. Public-court space is 7 and private clubs can be expensive. As pickleball has added more than 9 million players since 2020, the number of tennis players has also 8 , but growth in courts has not kept pace.
In the long run, however, the impact of pickleball on tennis is not necessarily 9 . There is even an argument that the two sports may end up complementary.
First, what is really apparent is a rise in demand for facilities in which both sports can be played, and local authorities have never been keener on the provision of public courts. If 10 keeps up, it will result in suitable spaces for both sports.
11 , the act of playing either sport is probably a complement to the other. Tennis is both hard to learn and athletically challenging. Pickleball is less 12 for children and the elderly to pick up. Consequently, it could easily become an entry point to more 13 sports - one that encourages children to progress to tennis 14 they have a little more muscle. And this process might later work 15 . Lifelong tennis players, who find the sport too demanding as they age, might enjoy switching to pickleball.
1.A.simpler B.popular C.final D.unique
2.A.interaction B.combination C.conflict D.invention
3.A.In the face of B.In the absence of C.In the company of D.In the name of
4.A.advertised B.exchanged C.sold D.replaced
5.A.opposite B.alternative C.equivalent D.relative

Pickleball is less ____ for children and the elderly to pick up.”和后文“one that encourages children to progress to tennis”可知,网球有挑战性,而匹克球相对容易,所以说匹克球可以成为进入更具挑战性运动的切入点。故选A。

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·上海·期末)Don’t Hibernate
AH, WINTER, the season of roast dinners and heated blankets. Not so much time for getting up early to hit the gym, going for a run in the evening darkness, or even taking a brief walk at lunch time. The evidence confirms what you probably 1 . In winter, most people tend to spend more time in a sedentary (久坐的) way. Does that mean we casual exercisers are fated to 2 in the icy months, or are there ways to address it? And does anything about the colder, darker months actually make maintaining our 3 easier?
First of all, it is helpful for you to make the effort during winter, even if you are not 4 about your six-pack (发达的腹肌). Seasonal affective disorder (properly abbreviated as SAD), which is often linked to reduced 5 to sunlight during the shorter winter days, may affect not just mood but your health as well. While exercise is not a cure-all, studies suggest that it can help to 6 the mood disorder.
Are there benefits to training in cold weather? This is 7 . For years, it was assumed that bodies burn more calories in the cold to keep warm, while also helping the body’s-white fat to take on the properties of brown fat, which 8 as a fuel to maintain body temperature. However, just how beneficial the process can be is open to 9 .
Still, the benefits of exercise make it more than worth toughing out the odd pre-dawn alarm. But how do you get it done? “My top tip would be to either use your commute (通勤) to get your workout in, or make sure you get out again as soon as you get home,” says running coach Havley Hemmings. “I’d also 10 teaming up with someone so you’re accountable to go for a run.”
Of course, if training outdoors does not sound like fun, even when you are 11 up, there are other options.

话题4 历史、社会与文化
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·上海浦东新·期末)No, You Don’t Get an A Just for Effort
After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in the book from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new complaint: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
High marks are for 1 , not grit (硬扛,死磕). In the past, students understood that hard work was not sufficient; an A required great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In surveys, two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for 2 at (most) classes.
This isn’t Gen Z’s fault. It’s the result of a(n) 3 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck published groundbreaking experiments that changed how many parents and teachers talk to kids. Praising kids for their abilities 4 their resilience (韧劲), making them more likely to give up when they encountered setbacks. To persist and learn in the face of challenges, kids needed to believe that abilities and skills are 5 , and the best way to nurture this growth mindset was to shift from praising intelligence to effort. This idea quickly made its way into viral articles, best-selling books and popular TED talks.
Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort cultivates a strong work ethic and reinforces learning. That’s especially 6 for students who weren’t born into comfort or don’t have a record of achievement. 7 , the problem is that we’ve taken the practice of celebrating hard work. We are treating it as an end in itself. We’ve taught a generation of kids that their worth is defined 8 by their work ethic. That does great harm to the students.
One study found that if there wasn’t a time limit, the higher people scored on their own 9 , the more likely they were to stick to a task they will never accomplish. This is what worries me most about valuing perseverance above all else: It can motivate people to stick with a bad 10 instead of developing better ones. With students, a textbook example is pulling all-nighters rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents owe kids a more 11 message. There’s a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest. Motivation is only one of multiple variables (变量) in the achievement equation (等式). Ability, opportunity and luck 12 , too.
The ideal 13 to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn’t rewarded. It’s to ask how you could make your investment 14 better. Trying harder isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it’s working smarter, and other times it’s working on something else altogether.
Every teacher should support students to succeed. In my classes, I make it clear that my goal is to give as many A’s as possible. But they’re earned through mastering all. The true 15 of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you take out.
1.A.industriousness B.engagement C.morality D.excellence
2.A.doing well B.showing up C.nodding off D.burning out
3.A.misunderstanding B.stretching C.extinction D.emergence
4.A.creates B.restores C.stocks D.hurts
5.A.intangible B.attainable C.preservable D.valuable

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海闵行·期中)Could you eat your pet Guinea pig? In recent years, that question has become a classic example in cultural anthropology (人类学) classes that relate to the 1 nature of our attitudes towards food.
Think about it. On one side of the great Guinea Pig Divide stand Andean cultures, who have long treated the furry creature as a nutritious source of food. On the other side are European and US cultures, where the animal is 2 considered a beloved pet.
While western children would doubtlessly react with 3 to the idea of eating these little creatures, to some cultures in Ecuador and Peru it seems equally strange to cherish them as pets. 4 , how we treat guinea pigs is one of the many small ways in which we define our sense of what exactly is considered “exotic”.
As any anthropology class will also teach you, 5 others as “exotic” or “weird”, because of food or anything else, also makes it easier to demonise (妖魔化) them. However, there is another side to this. Culture can often be more 6 than we realise, particularly in a globalised age. Gideon Lasco, an anthropologist from the Philippines, has been studying the issue of how and why Andean cultures cat guinea pigs. His research starts by 7 that this food is a social divider not just between Andean cultures and the West, but also inside of countries such as Peru.
Some Andean cultures have eaten guinea pigs, known as cuy, for centuries. But in recent decades, urban Peruvians have 8 , knowing that westerners view the practice in a negative light.
More recently, however, notes Lasco, two striking 9 have emerged. First, some western tourists have started to view eating guinea-pig dishes as 10 . While globalisation has already brought dishes from around the world into western supermarkets, chopped guinea pig is not yet 11 in Walmart, hence its value as an “experience”. Second, some educated Peruvian have also become more interested in defining and championing what makes them 12 in a globalized world by creating a new form of cuy cuisine in Lima. “As eating’ local’ becomes more fashionable around the world, wealthier people have been 13 time-honored foods,” Lasco writes.
Those furry creatures are no longer just a sign of global 14 but of cultural flexibility. This may not, however, make western kids feel any better about the idea of their pets being cooked. But the issue should help them (and adults) to 15 that our assumptions need not be set in stone, or cages.
1.A.physical B.interactive C.local D.subjective
2.A.generally B.accordingly C.inadequately D.previously

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了不同文化中人们对豚鼠的不同态度,以及全球化背景下这种态度的转变和新趋势,揭示了文化的多样性与灵活性。
1.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:近年来,这个问题已成为文化人类学课程中一个典型的例子,用以探讨人们对食物的态度所具有的主观性。A. physical身体的,物质的;B. interactive互动的;C. local当地的;D. subjective主观的。根据后文“On one side of the great Guinea Pig Divide stand Andean cultures, who have long treated the furry creature as a nutritious source of food. On the other side are European and US cultures, where the animal is 2 considered a beloved pet.”可知,不同文化对豚鼠的态度截然不同,这体现了人们对食物的态度是主观的,会因文化背景而异。故选D项。
2.考查副词词义辨析。句意:另一边是欧洲和美国文化,在那里这种动物通常被视为心爱的宠物。A. generally通常;B. accordingly相应地;C. inadequately不足地;D. previously以前。结合前文“Think about it. On one side of the great Guinea Pig Divide stand Andean cultures, who have long treated the furry creature as a nutritious source of food. On the other side are European and US cultures”可知,作者在对比安第斯文化和欧美文化对豚鼠的不同看法,在欧美文化语境里,豚鼠通常是被当作宠物的,所以用“generally”符合语境。故选A项。
3.考查名词词义辨析。句意:虽然西方孩子无疑会对吃这些小动物的想法感到恐惧。A. delight高兴;B. relief宽慰;C. horror恐惧;D. understanding理解。由前文“On the other side are European and US cultures, where the animal is 2 considered a beloved pet.”可知,在西方文化中豚鼠是宠物,所以西方孩子对于吃豚鼠这种想法会感到恐惧。故选C项。
4.考查短语词义辨析。句意:换言之,我们对待豚鼠的方式,正是界定何谓“异国风味”的众多细微文化标尺之一。A. In other words换句话说;B. What’s more此外;C. Even so即使如此;D. On the contrary相反。前文阐述了不同文化对豚鼠不同的看法,即西方把豚鼠当宠物,而安第斯文化把豚鼠当食物,这里进一步说明这种不同的对待方式其实就是定义“异国风味”的一种体现,用“换句话说”来衔接上下文逻辑。故选A项。
5.考查动词词义辨析。句意:正如任何人类学课程也会教给你的那样,因为食物或其他任何事情而将他人标记为“异国的”或“怪异的”,也会更容易将他们妖魔化。A. striking打击;B. deleting删除;C. helping帮助;D. labelling标记。根据后文“as ‘exotic’ or ‘weird’”可知,这里表达的是将他人标记成这样的标签,进而更容易去妖魔化他们。故选D项。
6.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:文化往往比我们意识到的更具灵活性,特别是在全球化时代。A. difficult困难的;B. flexible灵活的;C. relevant相关的;D. restricted受限的。从后文“His research starts by 3 that this food is a social divider not just between Andean cultures and the West, but also inside of countries such as Peru.”以及后面提到的西方游客和秘鲁人对豚鼠态度的变化,可知文化并不是固定不变的,而是具有灵活性的。故选B项。
7.考查动词词义辨析。句意:他的研究首先指出,这种食物不仅是安第斯文化和西方之间的社会分隔因素,也是秘鲁等国家内部的社会分隔因素。A. noting指出;B. doubting怀疑;C. demanding要求;D. complaining抱怨。后文“this food is a social divider not just between Andean cultures and the West, but also inside of countries such as Peru.”是研究得出的内容,所以这里用“指出”符合语境,表示研究开始要说明的情况。故选A项。
8.考查动词词义辨析。句意:但近几十年来,城市秘鲁人已经停止了(吃豚鼠),因为他们知道西方人对这种做法持负面看法。A. appeared出现;B. stopped停止;C. succeeded成功;D. fainted晕倒。根据前文“Some Andean cultures have eaten guinea pigs, known as cuy, for centuries.”和后文“knowing that westerners view the practice in a negative light”可知,以前安第斯文化有吃豚鼠的传统,但因为西方人负面看法,城市秘鲁人现在停止了这种行为。故选B项。
9.考查名词词义辨析。句意:然而,最近,拉斯科指出,出现了两个显著的趋势。A. contrasts对比;B. designs设计;C. options选择;D. trends趋势。后文分别详细描述了“First, some western tourists have started to view eating guinea pig dishes as 10 ”和“Second, some educated Peruvian have also become more interested in defining and championing what makes them 12 in a globalized world by creating a new form of cuy cuisine in Lima.”这两个新的情况,说明出现了新的趋势。故选D项。
10.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:首先,一些西方游客开始认为吃豚鼠菜肴很时尚。A. memorable难忘的;B. stable稳定的;C. reliable可靠的;D. fashionable时尚的。由后文“As eating ‘local’ becomes more fashionable around the world”可知,在吃当地食物变得时尚的大背景下,西方游客把吃豚鼠菜肴也视为时尚的行为。故选D项。
11.考查短语辨析。句意:虽然全球化已经把世界各地的菜肴带进了西方超市,但切碎的豚鼠还没有在沃尔玛出售,因此它作为一种“体验”有其价值。A. out of stock缺货;B. on sale出售;C. in need需要;D. without delay毫不拖延。根据后文“in Walmart”和常识可知,Walmart是世界连锁零售企业,是大型超市,所以这里说的是豚鼠菜肴尚未在沃尔玛这样的超市出售。故选B项。
12.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:其次,一些受过教育的秘鲁人也通过在利马创造一种新的豚鼠菜肴,对定义和捍卫他们在全球化世界中的独特之处更感兴趣。A. similar相似的;B. useful有用的;C. unique独特的;D. definite明确的。根据后文“by creating a new form of cuy cuisine in Lima”可知,秘鲁人通过创造新的豚鼠菜肴来体现自己在全球化世界中的独特性。故选C项。
13.考查动词词义辨析。句意:随着“吃当地食物”在世界各地变得越来越时尚,富裕的人一直在重新发现历史悠久的食物。A. reprocessing再加工;B. excluding排除;C. rediscovering重新发现;D. replacing取代。结合前文提到“eating ‘local’ becomes more fashionable around the world”以及后文“time honored foods”可推知,因为吃当地食物流行起来,所以富裕的人开始重新关注世界各地的传统食物,开始去重新发现它们。故选C项。
14.考查名词词义辨析。句意:那些毛茸茸的生物不再仅仅是全球差异的标志,而是文化灵活性的标志。A. differences差异;B. tendencies趋势;C. responsibilities责任;D. competitions竞争。前文“On one side of the great Guinea Pig Divide stand Andean cultures, who have long treated the furry creature as a nutritious source of food. On the other side are European and US cultures, where the animal is 2 considered a beloved pet.”描述了不同文化对豚鼠不同的态度,体现了全球差异,而现在“First, some western tourists have started to view eating guinea pig dishes as 10 ”以及“Second, some educated Peruvian have also become more interested in defining and championing what makes them 12 in a globalized world by creating a new form of cuy cuisine in Lima.”等情况有了变化,说明豚鼠不再只是代表差异,更体现了文化的灵活性。故选A项。

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·上海嘉定·期中)I decided to retire my personal social website account. It all began with a detailed review of my own Instagram account. I worked out that more than 80 per cent of the photos I had posted featured my 1 . In some ways this seemed 2 . If social websites are for a simple game of showing off, these two are clearly my pride.
Next, however, I examined my husband’s post for 3 . In real life, he loves the kids no less than I do. Yet between his two social website accounts, they featured in only about 25 per cent of his photos. The 4 was split between a) kitchens he had designed and b) vinyl (黑胶) records he had purchased (the former being his job, the latter his addiction). We divide our time between work and childcare in comparable proportions. Yet the 5 suggested by our online selves was quite different.
According to Katrin Tiidenberg, associate professor of social media and visual culture at Tallinn University, who is publishing a forthcoming book called Sex and Social Media, this is because men and women often have different 6 for sharing information on social media.
When my husband posted a photo of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska on vinyl, his aim was 7 , my conversation with Tiidenberg implied. As the words on his post suggested, he mainly wanted the world to know that the 1982 album is: “so good”.
When I posted a photo of our daughter eating fish fingers in fancy dress, sure, I was 8 . She looked amazing. I was hoping that her star quality might reflect, just a little, on me. But according to Tiidenberg: “Women tend to use social media as a tool to maintain their social 9 . They take those into account when they post and when deciding how they post.” A photo of a five-year-old in fancy-dress, 10 , doesn’t just say: “so good”. It can, meanwhile, say: “Hello godmother, who we feel guilty for cancelling on the other day”, “Hello cousins, who are now in Australia and feel a little disconnected...”
Tiidenberg is careful to stress that she’s “not making any essentialist argument” about women and men’s 11 for either type of content. Instead, she argues, women have always been trained to take responsibility for cultivating and managing social networks: “They’re told it’s what they’re 12 .”
In the distant pre-digital past, women were 13 guardians of the family photo album. And even today, says Tiidenberg, a division of 14 labor endures within many families in our offline worlds: “Who remembers people’s birthdays, sends your mother a card and buys the Christmas presents?” The knowledge that I had also 15 responsibility for the online equivalent made me feel angry.

This strong chemical is commonly found in the glue that holds many household products and presses wood furniture together. It has been classified as a carcinogen (致癌物) since 2011 and has been 4 to an increase in asthma and other diseases in children. It has also been 5 as a poisonous chemical in China.
6 , there is another choice: natural glues. In particular, ones made from soy proteins that have been modified to 7 the protein some shellfish use to stick to rocks. A natural glue is now widely used in composite (合成的) wood products in the U.S. Other companies are also developing more natural 8 to dangerous industrial chemicals. This is a part of the Green Chemistry philosophy.
Green Chemistry is a way of rethinking how to develop products and processes that are more environmentally friendly, better for people’s health and yet are economically 9 . That includes reducing processing waste, using renewable materials and lessening the energy required to manufacture products. The Principles of Green Chemistry 10 the goals of this approach to chemical research and the chemical industry. The first is prevention. It is better to prevent waste than to 11 it or clean it up. Another principle encourages less hazardous chemical mixture. Chemical reactions should be designed to be as safe as possible. Energy 12 is encouraged as well as using chemicals made from renewable plant-based sources rather than petrochemical ones. Attention also needs to be paid to monitoring pollution in real time and choosing and developing chemical procedures that are safer and that 13 the risk of accidents.
There are 14 in meeting and holding to the principles of Green Chemistry, but this will stimulate new research and inspire the discovery of new chemistry. Green Chemistry can decrease pollution and increase the 15 development of the earth, thus improving the quality of life for humans and animals for years to come.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·上海嘉定·期中)In its best days, a visit to the London Trocadero was the highlight of many tourist trips to Britain. Opened in 1896, it was one of the grandest restaurants in the world. After a long decline it 1 in 1965. Yet soon the Trocadero will be on the London tourist-map once again: a 583-room hotel has come back.
It is a(n) 2 of the hotel boom currently under way in London. The number of hotel rooms has risen from 129,000 in 2013 to 149,000 today. Last year occupancy rates reached their highest in a decade and average prices were higher than ever.
The hotels’ boom is 3 , given the competition from sharing-economy websites and apps that allow people to rent out their spare rooms to travellers. Airbnb, the biggest such service, has 4 hotel revenues (收入) in some American cities by as much as 10%.
By comparison, the impact of room-booking apps has been 5 in London. Only 0.5% of Londoners advertise their 6 on Airbnb, compared with 2.4% of Parisians. One reason is that there is a 7 of reasonably priced residential stock near London’s main tourist attractions, which are occupied by offices and mansions. And according to a recent report by Citi, a bank, the growth of Airbnb listings in London and other big European cities is already 8 , meaning that Londoners’ spare rooms are unlikely to be able to handle much more demand.
Hotels have also benefited from a change in the 9 of visitors coming to Britain. While the strong pound has persuaded many tourists to go to cheaper destinations, business travellers cannot avoid London so easily. So although tourist spending didn’t witness a(n) 10 in 2015, businessfolk rose by 7% in Britain compared with the previous year.
Unlike holidaymakers who are willing to book a room in a stranger’s home on Airbnb to save a few pounds, most businesspeople are travelling on expense accounts and 11 to spend. Meanwhile their employers, with a duty to ensure safety, remain 12 booking spare rooms, which they fear conceal slippery stairs, faulty electrics and other hazards. This 13 hoteliers nicely.
But not all of them. Business travellers may not yet be switching to Airbnb, but they are 14 their costs. More than half the new rooms built in London this year will be operated by budget brands. Even the once-luxurious Trocadero cannot 15 that trend. Having made its name a century ago selling nine-course meals to the upper classes, in 2017 it re-opened — but as a budget hotel.
