Passage 1
(2025·福建福州市闽侯县第一中学·一模)
Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” 1 He believed true wisdom and personal growth couldn’t be achieved in an unexamined life.
The Socratic Method, named after Socrates himself, is a form of cooperative dialogue where one asks a series of open-ended questions to guide another toward insight and understanding. For example, imagine a teacher discussing moralities with students. The teacher may not explain what is “right” or “wrong”. 2 And follow up with questions like, “Why do we consider some actions fair and others unfair?” Through this questioning, students are led to think more critically and examine their own values and assumptions rather than just accepting the predetermined answers.
3 When you ask yourself, for instance, “Why do you believe this?” or “What evidence supports your thinking?”, you are encouraged to consider whether your beliefs are truly your own or influenced by external factors. This process of questioning leads to self-reflection, helping individuals better understand the underlying motivations behind their thoughts and actions.
Self-reflection is like hitting the pause button on life. 4 And it also looks closely at your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. An unexamined life, however, is one where people go through the motions without ever questioning. Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations. 5 It seems as if you’re living someone else’s script without ever writing your own.
A.It gives you a moment to step back.
B.You are barely aware of your own desires.
C.So they can follow a “right” or “fair” action.
D.You are always stuck in your own ceaseless work.
E.The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.
F.Instead, he or she might ask “What does it mean to act morally?”
G.This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.

How to Love Yourself
Sometimes it seems easier to love others than it does to love yourself, but self-acceptance is an important part of developing healthy relationships with others. 1 . It also means living your own life as honestly as you can. Luckily, with a little practice and patience, you can learn to love yourself, too.
Know the dangers of a lack of self-love. A lack of self-love can lead you to make harmful choices. It can lead to a harmful dependence on others for validation, which makes people set aside their own needs in order to gain others’ approval. 2
Discard your negative filter. 3 Too much focus on negative or less favorable events in your, life can make these events seem disproportionately (不成比例地) important. If you find yourself complaining that everything that happens to you is bad, try to find a little evidence to the contrary. It is very unlikely that everything is really bad.
4 . Some people have trouble accepting anything less than perfection from themselves. If you find yourself pursuing perfectionism and feeling negatively about yourself when you are less than perfect, take three simple steps. Stop your current line of thinking, then focus on the effort that will be required to work toward a goal, and then steadily apply the required effort.
Celebrate and reward yourself. This is the fun part of self-love: rewarding yourself! 5 celebrate it with a nice dinner at your favorite fancy restaurant. Think of all of the hard work you do every day, and find a reason to reward yourself with something nice. Buy yourself the new book or video game you’ve had your eye on.
A.Avoid perfectionism
B.Reflect on the effects of self-love
C.If you have had a significant accomplishment
D.When you are thinking negatively about yourself
E.It can also prevent emotional recovery and progress
F.Loving yourself means recognizing your own self-worth
G.Focusing only on the negatives in your life is a bad habit

Passage 1
(2025·福建宁德第一中学·一模)
In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings. 1 Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin.
Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. 2
The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass. 3 This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors.
Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies. 4 As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms.
5 One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group.
A.This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days.
B.It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings.
C.This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates.
D.It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower.
E.These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions.
F.The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders.
G.The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night.
Passage 2
(2025·福建永春第一中学·一模)
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 1
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 2 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 3 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
4 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 5 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A.Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B.Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C.Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D.This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E.None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F.Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G.This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

Passage 1
(2026·福建福州市·一模)
Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. 1 Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. 2
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settle s in me—my throat, my stomach. 3 ”said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
4 Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely. 5 While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A.Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B.Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C.These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D.I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.
E.That physical response shows more than any trend ever could.
F.Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks.
G.Online markets have overturned how people appreciate and buy art.
Passage 2
(2024·福建部分地市校·一模)
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. 1 We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 2 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
3 Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 4 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 5 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A.It is a gradual affair.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some form of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.

Passage 1
(2025·福建漳州市·一模)
Forget privacy, young internet users want to be tracked
On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. 1 And this tech is marketed as convenient, not frightening.
What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. 2 A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer.
3 It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know?
If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. 4
Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. 5 Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies.
A.It is for family and close friends only, not new dates.
B.But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age.
C.Location sharing has been around for more than a decade.
D.The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around.
E.After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time.
F.This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy.
G.Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd.

(2023·福建泉州第五中学·一模)
Asking anyone who has worked in their yard, you will always be told that yard work is quite the workout! Whether spreading soil.raking(用耙子拢)leaves, or pulling undergrowth, you’re guaranteed to break a sweat. 1 . Even something as simple as planting flowers involves squatting(蹲),which engages your legs for support your core muscles for balance, and your arms for digging. 2 . Moreover, heavy yard work is a great way to add variation to your regular exercise program.

If you’re using a cart to pull yard waste soil or fertilizer, take an extra circle or two around your garden before you set your goods down.
4 , pull the heavy rubber tube around the yard with you. You’ll also have to use muscles to put it away and wind it up when you’re done.
Enjoy the outdoors! 5 . Fresh air is always uplifting, especially in the spring time. Plus, sunshine helps boost Vitamin D production,which aids in the absorption of calcium Weed,dig and rake. Try all of these activities, get your hands in the dirt, and include yard work as a part of your healthy lifestyle.
A.Instead of using a small water container
B.In addition to raising heart rate and burning calories
C.That’s because gardening works all your major muscle groups
D.There are ways to prevent aching muscles after working outside
E.That’s just one example of how yard work can give you a workout
F.The yard can benefit you in a way that a regular gym can never provide
G.This way, you’ll help prevent injuries by avoiding repetitive movements too
Passage 3
(2025·福建宁德市一级达标学校·一模)
Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many people surrounding the tables. 1 The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth.

You will usually hear the words ‘hot water’ being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! 3 In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service.
When the waiter comes to take your order, he is usually impatient. If customers can’t decide, the waiters might just walk away, making it hard for them to get attention again. The waiters often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. 4
Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiters will ask customers to share their tables with those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness becomes incredibly deafening. With the noise of clanging plates and loud voices, you must raise your voice to be heard. 5 The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down, enjoying a chat or a cigarette. The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover before the next day of madness arrives.

Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations. 5 It seems as if you’re living someone else’s script without ever writing your own.
A.It gives you a moment to step back.
B.You are barely aware of your own desires.
C.So they can follow a “right” or “fair” action.
D.You are always stuck in your own ceaseless work.
E.The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.

1.上文“Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, famously stated, ‘The unexamined life is not worth living.’(著名的古希腊哲学家苏格拉底有句名言:‘未经审视的生活是不值得过的’)”引出了苏格拉底的这句名言。G选项“This powerful declaration serves as a call to dig deeper into one’s own thoughts.(这句有力的宣言呼吁人们更深入地挖掘自己的思想)”对这句名言进行了进一步解读,说明其作用是引导人们深入思考自己的思想,与上文逻辑紧密。故选G项。
2.上文“The teacher may not explain what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’.(老师可能不会解释什么是‘对’或‘错’)”表明老师不会直接给出对错的定义。F选项“Instead, he or she might ask ‘What does it mean to act morally?’(相反,他或她可能会问 ‘道德行事意味着什么? ’)”与上文形成转折,说明老师会通过提问的方式引导学生思考,符合苏格拉底方法中通过提问引导他人思考的特点,上下文衔接自然。故选F项。
3.下文“When you ask yourself, for instance, ‘Why do you believe this?’ or ‘What evidence supports your thinking?’(例如,当你问自己‘你为什么相信这个?’或‘有什么证据支持你的想法?’)”具体说明了自我审视时的提问方式。E选项“The Socratic Method is a powerful tool for self-examination.(苏格拉底方法是一种强大的自我审视工具)”起到了承上启下的作用,既承接上文对苏格拉底方法的介绍,又引出下文关于自我审视的具体内容。故选E项。
4.上文“Self-reflection is like hitting the pause button on life.(自我反思就像按下生活的暂停键)”将自我反思比喻为暂停键。A选项“It gives you a moment to step back.(它给你一个退后一步思考的时刻)”进一步解释了按下暂停键的意义,即让人有时间退后一步思考,与上文逻辑一致。故选A项。
5.上文“Living an unexamined life is similar to coasting on automatic pilot, where one simply accepts social standards without critically evaluating them. In this kind of life, you’re swept along by society’s expectations.(过一种未经审视的生活就像在自动驾驶状态下滑行,人们只是简单地接受社会标准而不进行批判性评估。在这种生活中,你会被社会的期望所裹挟)”描述了未经审视的生活的状态。B选项“You are barely aware of your own desires.(你几乎意识不到自己的欲望)”进一步说明了在这种生活状态下的结果,即人们会忽略自己的欲望,上下文语意连贯。故选B项。

【答案】1.G 2.D 3.C 4.E 5.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了由于过度捕捞浅水鱼类的数量已经严重下降,以及由此导致的后果。
1.根据上文“People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.”(人们仍然想吃鱼,因此渔业必须寻找其他来源,特别是大西洋的深水区)推知,选项承接上文说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故G选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降”切题。故选G项。
2.根据上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”(对五种这样的物种的研究表明,数量下降了87%到98%)可知,数量下降到了一定程度,我们便称为它们为“极度濒危”物种。故D选项“这使得它们被归为“极度濒危”物种”切题,this指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故选D项。
3.根据上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”(深海鱼类需要很长时间繁殖,通常可以活很多年)根据下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”(这些鱼的平均尺寸也在下降,其中一个物种的平均尺寸下降了57%。这一点值得特别关注,因为大鱼往往比小鱼生育更多的后代)可知,选项承接上下文说明深海鱼类的繁殖率非常低。故C选项“不幸的是,它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。故选C项。
4.根据下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”(深海鱼类被捕获,仿佛它们是沙丁鱼和鲱鱼等快速繁殖的鱼类。这就像把大象当作繁殖速度飞快的兔子杀死一样)可知,渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”故选E项。
5.根据上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”(数百万人以渔业为生)可知,选项与上文为并列关系,说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。故选A项。

Passage 1
(2026·福建福州市·一模)
Whether you buy art for your home or admire it in galleries and museums, establishing your taste is a personal journey. There are countless commercial galleries, museums, and increasingly accessible platforms like social media. 1 Here are some tips from leading art collectors on how to develop your taste.
One of the surest ways to establish your artistic interests is to look at as much art as you can. Go to museum exhibitions and to galleries. Read art magazines. See an exhibition even if it is not a period you would ever take an interest in. You will learn to appreciate quality, and your eye will see what great art is. 2
The process of developing artistic taste involves multiple dimensions that go beyond simple visual appreciation. “I sit with the piece and pay attention to how it settle s in me—my throat, my stomach. 3 ”said Shaokao Cheng, co-founder of a luxury design company. As he grew his personal collection, Cheng approached art not for its potential financial gain, but rather how it makes him feel.
4 Getting to know them and their stories can expand your experience as a collector and enthusiast. Reaching out directly to the artists builds a personal connection to the piece, making the work feel not just seen, but understood.
Study the art market, but not too closely. 5 While understanding market dynamics can be helpful, the most rewarding aspects of art appreciation come from genuine personal connections with artworks and their creators.
A.Artists are the lifeblood of the art world.
B.Then in time, you will find something that you love.
C.These provide a wealth of places to engage with art.
D.I always go to museums and galleries to see art exhibitions.
E.That physical response shows more than any trend ever could.
F.Market research is secondary to personal connection with artworks.
G.Online markets have overturned how people appreciate and buy art.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.E 4.A 5.F

Passage 2
(2024·福建部分地市校·一模)
A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. 1 We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic?
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 2 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
3 Researching the author-and the time and place they were writing about-can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 4 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 5 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable!
A.It is a gradual affair.
B.Allow the book to grow with you.
C.It has some form of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.
【答案】1.A 2.E 3.D 4.F 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何阅读经典书籍的方法。
1.根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. (对经典的喜爱显然不是一见钟情)”及下文“We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. (我们开始是熟人,最终因为私下里的笑话而成为亲密的朋友)”可知,对经典的喜爱是一个循序渐进的过程。由此可知,A. It is a gradual affair. (这是一个循序渐进的过程)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
2.根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. (相反,你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪,并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知,此处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知,E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. (永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)能够与下文形成语义的转折,符合语境。故选E。
3.根据本段小标题“Research, research, research. (研究,研究,再研究)”可知,本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知,D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. (在你翻到第一页之前,做一些调查)符合本段主旨,符合语境。故选D。
4.根据下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气,然后跳上梅尔维尔的《裴廓德号》的甲板,或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知,此处在讲述读书的具体做法。由此可知,F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. (提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)能够衔接下文,属于真正开始读书前的思想准备工作,符合语境。故选F。
5.根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。没有明确的解释,没有单一的、精确的答案。作为读者,你的目标是发现哪些方面和见解对你有意义。享受这个过程)”可知,阅读经典文本时,应用进行思考。由此可知,G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (思考让你困惑的是什么,用心阅读,批判性思考)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。

Passage 1
(2025·福建漳州市·一模)
Forget privacy, young internet users want to be tracked
On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. 1 And this tech is marketed as convenient, not frightening.
What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. 2 A quick enquiry on my friends found that those who were, like me, in their 40s and older either had no idea they could use their phone in this way or had relatively little interest in doing so. But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer.
3 It is just that they are realistic about the privacy that is available. They know that if you own a smartphone and don’t want to disable useful things like maps, then your location is already being watched. If app creators, smartphone makers and ad companies are already tracking your location, then why not share the information with people you know?
If you want to start tracking the people you know, then there are some rules involved. It’s fine to use tracking to check that a friend has got home safely at the end of a night out, for example, but not to surprise them on the street. And think carefully about whom you share data with. 4
Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. 5 Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies.
A.It is for family and close friends only, not new dates.
B.But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age.
C.Location sharing has been around for more than a decade.
D.The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around.
E.After all, no one will find it comfortable to be watched all the time.
F.This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy.
G.Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd.
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.F 4.A 5.D
【导语】本文的一篇议论文。文章讨论了不同年龄段的人对位置追踪技术的态度差异,年轻人更愿意分享位置信息以提高安全感,而年长者则较为保守。文章还探讨了位置追踪的潜在规则和未来趋势。
1.根据上文“On every smartphone there sits a tracker’s paradise (乐园) of location data ready to be shared. (每部智能手机上都有一个跟踪器的天堂,其中包含可供共享的位置数据。)”可知,本句应继续描述位置追踪的精确性,G选项“Location tracking is so precise that it can locate one person in a crowd. (位置追踪非常精确,可以在人群中定位一个人。)”符合语境。故选G。
2.由上文“What is an acceptable level of online surveillance (监视)? I had assumed we all agreed that the ideal was none. (什么是可以接受的在线监控水平?我认为我们都同意理想的情况是没有监控。)”和下文“But friends a decade or so younger all seem to be tracking one another at will. They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. (快速询问我的朋友发现,那些像我一样40多岁及以上的人要么不知道他们可以这样使用手机,要么对这样做兴趣相对不大。)”可知,空处与上文构成转折关系,而且在线监控水平的流行程度因年龄而各有不同,B选项“But the truth is how popular it is depends on your age. (但事实是它的流行程度取决于你的年龄。)”符合语境。故选B。
3.由上文“They don’t find the idea of monitoring or being monitored in this way upsetting. They say it makes them feel safer. (他们不觉得这种监控或被监控的想法令人不安。他们说这让他们感到更安全。)”可知,本句应解释他们的态度,F选项“This is not because they are blind to the importance of online privacy. (这并不是因为他们对在线隐私的重要性视而不见。)”承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
4.由上文“And think carefully about whom you share data with. (并仔细考虑与谁共享数据。)”可知,本句应描述共享数据的对象,A选项“It is for family and close friends only, not new dates. (这仅限于家人和亲密朋友,而不是新约会对象。)”符合语境。故选A。
5.上文“Location tracking as a safety measure, particularly for elderly parents and children, is appealing. (位置跟踪作为一种安全措施,特别是对老年父母和孩子来说,很有吸引力。)”,说明位置跟踪的优势,结合下文“Once you grow comfortable sharing your location with your family and friends, perhaps one day you’ll be happy to share it with your employer or even government agencies. (一旦你习惯于与家人和朋友分享你的位置,也许有一天你会很乐意与你的雇主甚至政府机构分享。)”可知,空格处承上启下,描述频繁使用位置追踪的风险,D项“The risk is that if you do it too often, it will be hard to turn around. (风险在于,如果你经常这样做,将很难不再使用了。)”前半句的“if you do it too often”与上文一致,“it will be hard to turn around”与下文一致,故选D。

Even something as simple as planting flowers involves squatting(蹲),which engages your legs for support your core muscles for balance, and your arms for digging. 2 . Moreover, heavy yard work is a great way to add variation to your regular exercise program. If you do yard work as a way to burn calories, take full advantage of what the great outdoors have to offer.
If you are raking up leaves, change the movement and direction to make full use of your muscles. Rake in front of your body to target your shoulders. Rake both right to left and left to right to work both arms evenly. 3 .
If you’re using a cart to pull yard waste soil or fertilizer, take an extra circle or two around your garden before you set your goods down.
4 , pull the heavy rubber tube around the yard with you. You’ll also have to use muscles to put it away and wind it up when you’re done.
Enjoy the outdoors! 5 . Fresh air is always uplifting, especially in the spring time. Plus, sunshine helps boost Vitamin D production,which aids in the absorption of calcium Weed,dig and rake. Try all of these activities, get your hands in the dirt, and include yard work as a part of your healthy lifestyle.
A.Instead of using a small water container
B.In addition to raising heart rate and burning calories
C.That’s because gardening works all your major muscle groups

Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many people surrounding the tables. 1 The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth.
2 You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to serve the customers. You will usually hear the words ‘hot water’ being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! 3 In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service.
When the waiter comes to take your order, he is usually impatient. If customers can’t decide, the waiters might just walk away, making it hard for them to get attention again. The waiters often yell the orders to the cooks in the back. 4
Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiters will ask customers to share their tables with those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness becomes incredibly deafening. With the noise of clanging plates and loud voices, you must raise your voice to be heard. 5 The exhausted waiters can finally take a moment to sit down, enjoying a chat or a cigarette. The activity at the eating place winds down, ready to recover before the next day of madness arrives.
A.This is in fact their smart way of clearing the way.
B.They will be watching for a table that might be available soon.
C.Don’t give up.
D.By the midnight the crowd begins to thin and the noise dies down
E.They are occupied around the clock.
