Passage 1
(23-24高一下·云南大理·期中)
A social phobia (恐惧症) in an anxiety disorder with strong fear in social situations. 1 when other people are around. Here are some suggestions to overcome social phobia.
Learn to relax. People with a social phobia often have anticipatory (预期的) anxiety. 2 . For this, we have to learn to relax instead of having the fear of the future situation. Besides, imagination can play tricks on us in social situations. In most cases you are afraid of things that have not happened or are not happening. 3 . However, that only exists in your mind. So, just learn to relax and enjoy just like everyone else is doing.
Be yourself. To some degree, social phobia is caused by the belief that we have to be perfect as others expect. 4 . So we do not have to focus so much on what others may think of us, but on feeling comfortable with ourselves without having to be perfect.
5 . If we always avoid social situations out of fear, it is very difficult for us to be able to overcome them. If we try to relate to the outside of our usual circle, we will feel more comfortable little by little. In this way, when a social event arrives that we want to attend or take part in, we will be better able to be comfortable in it.
A.Look for social situations
B.Be imaginative in solving social issues
C.Perhaps you have a phobia about flying
D.We have to learn to accept and trust ourselves
E.In other words, they worry about the situation before it happens
F.You are held back by worrying about of what others may be thinking of you
G.People with social phobia feel fear, as well as nervousness, pain or shyness
Passage 2
(23-24高一下·云南曲靖·期中)
No one likes to fail. Failure is painful and it can also be costly in terms of time, money, or both. 1 If you never suffer a failure, then you’re probably not pushing yourself to your full potential. The following are some tips on how to pick yourself up after you’ve failed.
Remember that other people fail too. 2 They’ll tell you about that great new contract (合同) they signed,not the deal that failed eventually. But failure is normal, and lots of people fail many times before succeeding.
Remind yourself of your past successes. Failing doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve what you want. 3 Maybe you had high marks last term, or you lost weight, or you learned to play a musical instrument. You might want to write down a list of successes. If you ever lack confidence, you can go back and read over that list.
4 Your past successes are important, but so are your past failures. You’ve made mistakes before, and you’ve survived them. By acknowledging your failures, you can remind yourself that today is no different. Just as you recovered in the past, you can recover from your recent failure too.
5 Whatever goes wrong, you’re probably facing some sort of decision. Don’t rush into making a hasty decision, but do look for a forward path. That might require some deep thinking.
A.Make a decision wisely.
B.Limit the damage caused.
C.Remind yourself of your past failures.
D.However, failure is a normal part of life.
E.Get some advice and support from others.
F.Most people don’t talk openly about their failures.
G.Think of all the times in the past when you’ve succeeded.
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·云南昆明·期中)
Listening to music can help you relax, but really listening to music can help you expand (拓展) your mind and appreciate music on a deeper level. Active listening takes practice, but lucky for you, we’re here to share some tips!
1 According to professional pianist Warren Lee, one of the best ways to really listen to music is to “learn the overall structure (整体结构) of a piece”. Note any repetition, variation, melodies (旋律), and harmonies throughout the song, and question their placement: Why is a certain part being repeated or varied? Is it because the melody is great? 2
Focus on a specific instrument and how it contributes to the song. 3 And then forget everything else that’s playing. Listen to the tone (音色), and how it shapes the melody.
Think about the song’s movement or progression (变化). 4 Does the singer end up in the same place as where they started, or does the song tell a story of how they’ve “changed”? The key change in “Hey Jude” is one of the most important and famous examples of movement and change in pop music. 5 According to Warren Lee, paying attention to the song’s progression can help you listen to music on a deeper level.
A.Is it to bring out the lyrics?
B.Pick one instrument in the song.
C.How does the singer choose the instrument?
D.Pay attention to the basic structure of the song.
E.In a second, the song goes from thoughtful to joyous.
F.Listen to the melody and search for the background context about the song.
G.Listen once, and then replay the song to see if there are any changes from start to finish.

The Money-Draining Mistakes Travelers Make
Planning a low-cost trip? You don’t have to give up comfort or safety! Travel experts say we can have great trips without spending too much, only if you let go of the luxury (奢华的) travel posts you keep seeing on social media. 1
Chasing dream destinations
Going to your dream place might empty your wallet. Instead, find cheaper places to visit. For example, if Paris is too expensive, try Montreal. 2 Similarly, visiting New York’s Finger Lakes instead of Napa Valley saves money on hotels and wine tastings. Focus on experiences, not just the destination!
3
Travel prices vary by season. Flying during off-peak times, like winter, can save money. For example, visiting Santorini in winter saved one family $500 per person compared to summer prices. Also, avoid flying on weekends—Sundays and Mondays are pricier because of business travelers. Being flexible with dates helps you save!
Assuming vacation rentals are cheaper
4 Actually, prices for vacation rentals like Airbnb or VRBO have risen, sometimes costing more than hotels. Budget hotels and hostels can be better deals. Some hostels even have game rooms for kids. Another option is house-sitting or swapping—you can stay for free by caring for someone’s home.
Staying in the city center
Staying in busy tourist areas like Times Square or Hollywood can cost more. Instead, try neighborhoods outside the city center. In New York, dining in the Bronx costs less than in Manhattan. In Paris, visiting St. Ouen’s antique markets is free and fun. Avoiding the city center saves money and offers authentic experiences!
Remember, travel is about enjoying new places, not matching fancy social media posts. 5 By doing so, your wallet will surely thank you!
A.Traveling with family.
B.Booking specific dates.
C.Travel smarter, not harder.
D.Comparison is the thief of joy.
E.A flight from New York to Paris costs more, than one to Montreal.
F.Avoid the following common mistakes to save money and still enjoy your trip!
G.Travelers often assume that a vacation rental will be more affordable than a hotel.
Passage 5

Music is good for your heart.
They say that music is good for the soul, but what about the heart? 2 . Heart patients were observed at Massachusetts General Hospital. They were recovering from heart surgery. Some patients listened to Mozart’s piano sonatas for half an hour every day. These patients were the ones who had improved heart rates and lower blood pressure compared with those who never listened to any music at all. 3 .
Patients suffering from pain have found relief from listening to music. Classical music seems to be the best choice and Mozart and Bach are the most suitable. But heavy metal and other techno sounds can actually excite patients and cause irregular heartbeats, so they are not recommended.
Music may be useful in controlling overweight.
Studies show that simply playing soft and relaxing music while eating can have a controlling effect on how full you feel. 4 .
Music may help with memory and learning.
There was a lot of publicity about the “Mozart Effect” which showed that a group of college students did better at math while they were listening to some classical music. 5 .

Write “thank-you” cards. 3 . You can give “thank-you” cards to whoever has influenced your life in a positive way. You can write these cards to your best friend, and you don’t need to wait for a special occasion to send one along, either.
4 . It is good to than k a person in front of other people. Don’t do this in a way that makes the person embarrassed (尴尬的), but make it clear how much the person means to you. Just a few sentences at work or at a small gathering of friends can make a person feel even more special about his or her role in your life.
Do favors for them. Don’t do favors for your friends just because they’ve helped you out recently or because you want something in return. 5 . This can mean picking up coffee or lunch when they’re busy or finding another small way to make a big difference in your friends’ life.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·云南保山·期中)
Protecting Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage, whether it is ancient buildings, traditional festivals, or unique handicrafts, is of great significance to a nation or a community. 1 It is not only a symbol of our history but also a source of our cultural identity. However, cultural heritage is facing various threats today. Here are some effective ways to protect it.
2 Laws can set clear rules and regulations to govern the activities related to cultural heritage. For example, laws can prevent the unauthorized demolition of historical buildings and the illegal trade of cultural relics. Without proper laws, cultural heritage may be easily damaged or lost. Governments around the world should attach great importance to formulating and improving relevant laws.
Raising public awareness is another key aspect. Many people may not fully understand the value of cultural heritage. 3 They might think these old-fashioned things have no connection with modern life. Through educational programs in schools and public campaigns, we can let people know that cultural heritage is the root of a nation and is closely related to our daily lives.
International cooperation also plays a vital role. Cultural heritage is a global treasure, and the damage to it in any part of the world is a loss for all of humanity. 4 Different countries can share their experiences and technologies in protecting cultural heritage. For instance, when a natural disaster occurs in a country and damages its cultural heritage sites, other countries can offer help and support.
In conclusion, protecting cultural heritage requires the joint efforts of everyone. 5

B.We should respect different cultural heritages.
C.Cultural heritage protection needs enough funds.

China has been the birthplace of many of the world’s greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. 1 During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes. This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (易货贸易).
2 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells as money. Usually, the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.
In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 3
The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn’t long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 4 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1,000 years later, leather was used as money in China. 5 It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.

B.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.
C.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.

Passage 4
(23-24高一下·云南昆明·期中)
It’s common to see a barista (咖啡师) create coffee art, but it’s different from doing the same thing with tea. Creating tea art in cups, or “dian cha” in Chinese, improves the taste of tea. 1 The difference is that it is made of tea rather than milk.
Chinese tea culture started to be popular during the Tang Dynasty and developed rapidly throughout the Song Dynasty. Different from the way of brewing (酿造) tea during the Tang period, in the Song Dynasty, the popular way of having tea was through “dian cha”. In the eyes of people of that time, good tea should be white and fine. 2
The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered (粉末状的) tea creating a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is continually stirred by hand with a bamboo stiek. 3 That is where the name “dian cha” comes. The key is to practice cooperation between the wrist (手腕) and the arm. It usually requires stirring the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully combined and the foam (泡沫) appears. Then, one can feel free; to make artistic designs in the foam with the tea paste. 4 To lengthen its life, it’s advisable to take a photo.
5 It takes a year of practice, through trial and error, for one to achieve such proficiency (熟练度).
A.The action of pouring hot water is called dian.
B.It is similar to the foam on top of a cup of coffee.
C.However, the design on tea foam will only last for up to an hour.
D.Usually, the whole process has to be completed within 10 minutes
E.The ideal state is when the tea temperature is around 40℃, ready to be tasted.
F.The better the tea, the whiter it should be, and the longer the foam should last.
G.The patterns created on the tea foams are often poems, calligraphy and paintings.

Passage 1
(24-25高一下·云南·期中)
Founded in 1965, the Mountain Bothy (小屋) Association (MBA) is a registered charity that maintains “simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places”. The organization manages more than 100 bothies in Scotland, Wales and Northern England.
The system is simple. 1 . They can’t be booked in advance. As long as you follow the MBA’s Bothy Code (行为规范), which is based on respect for other users, the bothy and the surroundings, you’re welcome.
2 Although the grid (坐标) references are available online, don’t count on phone signal when looking for them. And even with a well-marked map, it is difficult to find them.
Every bothy is an adapted building with a previous life. 3 . In the early 20th century, hill farming declined and fewer and fewer people lived in remote locations, leaving many buildings abandoned.
After World War II, hiking and mountaineering as leisure pursuits dramatically increased in popularity and those exploring the outdoors began using these abandoned buildings as shelters. The MBA was created by Bernard Heath and a group of friends. 4 .
Although they’re maintained, bothies are by no means luxurious. You won’t find electricity or running water and will be lucky to have a long-drop toilet. Most will have a stove, but there may be no fuel supply. 5 , so you should pack as if you’re camping, including a tent if the bothy is overcrowded or you don’t fancy the company.
A.That is if you can find them
B.Your comforts are carried in
C.This depends on your budget
D.They made a lot of friends in the shelters
E.Bothies are free to use and open to anyone

Tips for Using Less Plastic
In today’s world, plastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue. Making small changes in our daily lives can significantly reduce our plastic consumption. Here are some practical tips to help you use less plastic.
Carry Your Own Reusable Bags
Gone are the days of relying on single-use plastic bags at the grocery store. 1 These bags are not only more durable but also come in various sizes and styles. For example, you can choose a large, sturdy bag for your weekly groceries or a smaller, foldable one for quick trips to the market. By using reusable bags, you can avoid the countless plastic bags that end up in landfills or oceans each year.
2
Every time you buy bottled water or coffee in a disposable cup, you contribute to plastic waste. Reusable water bottles and coffee cups are a simple and effective solution. Invest in a high-quality reusable water bottle made of stainless steel or glass. Not only will you save money in the long run, but you can also ensure that the water you drink is free from potential plastic contaminants.
Say No to Straws
3 They are often used for just a few minutes but take hundreds of years to decompose. If you really need a straw, consider using a reusable one made of metal, bamboo, or silicone. These reusable straws can be easily cleaned and reused, and they come in fun colors and designs. You can even carry a portable straw with you when you’re out at restaurants or cafes.
Buy in Bulk and Avoid Excessive Packaging
When shopping, try to buy products in bulk whenever possible. 4 Many grocery stores now offer bulk sections where you can purchase items like grains, nuts, and dried fruits. Bring your own reusable containers to fill up, and you can avoid the unnecessary plastic packaging that often comes with pre-packaged items.
Choose Plastic-Free Alternatives for Household Items
There are many plastic-free alternatives available for common household items. For example, you can replace plastic toothbrushes with bamboo ones. For storing food, use glass containers with metal lids instead of plastic wrap or plastic storage bags. 5
A.Opt for reusable water bottles and coffee cups.
B.Instead, keep a few reusable bags in your car or purse.
C.They are convenient but cause a lot of environmental problems.
D.This reduces the amount of packaging waste you generate.
E.You can also recycle plastic items properly to reduce waste.

As we know, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to the United Nations World Heritage list on July 17, 2016. But there are so many important places not yet on this list. 1 .
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia Forestry District this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment. 2 . It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
3 . Firstly, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 meters to over 3,000 meters above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”. Secondly, it has incredible biodiversity. According to official statistics, over 3,000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten percent of China’s total floral richness.
It is a challenge to look after so many species in freezing cold winter. Scientists walked in heavy snow to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. 4 , the monkey’s population wouldn’t had doubled since the 1980s. Their number reached over 1,300 in 2015 and continued to grow.
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people. 5 . A local village is known for its home-made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee. All of this explains why Shennongjia deserves its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
A.Although it was cold in the woods
B.It allows various species to live and prosper

Passage 1
(23-24高一下·云南大理·期中)
A social phobia (恐惧症) in an anxiety disorder with strong fear in social situations. 1 when other people are around. Here are some suggestions to overcome social phobia.
Learn to relax. People with a social phobia often have anticipatory (预期的) anxiety. 2 . For this, we have to learn to relax instead of having the fear of the future situation. Besides, imagination can play tricks on us in social situations. In most cases you are afraid of things that have not happened or are not happening. 3 . However, that only exists in your mind. So, just learn to relax and enjoy just like everyone else is doing.
Be yourself. To some degree, social phobia is caused by the belief that we have to be perfect as others expect. 4 . So we do not have to focus so much on what others may think of us, but on feeling comfortable with ourselves without having to be perfect.
5 . If we always avoid social situations out of fear, it is very difficult for us to be able to overcome them. If we try to relate to the outside of our usual circle, we will feel more comfortable little by little. In this way, when a social event arrives that we want to attend or take part in, we will be better able to be comfortable in it.
A.Look for social situations
B.Be imaginative in solving social issues
C.Perhaps you have a phobia about flying
D.We have to learn to accept and trust ourselves
E.In other words, they worry about the situation before it happens
F.You are held back by worrying about of what others may be thinking of you
G.People with social phobia feel fear, as well as nervousness, pain or shyness
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.F 4.D 5.A
【难度】0.85
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了社交恐惧症是一种焦虑障碍,在社交场合有强烈的恐惧。有社交恐惧症的人在周围有人的时候会感到害怕、紧张、痛苦或害羞。下面是一些克服社交恐惧症的建议。
1.上文“A social phobia (恐惧症) in an anxiety disorder with strong fear in social situations.”(社交恐惧症是一种焦虑障碍,在社交场合有强烈的恐惧。)引出话题,提到社交恐惧症。下文“when other people are around”(当别人在身边的时候)可知,为说明社交恐惧症的症状表现。结合选项G项People with social phobia feel fear, as well as nervousness, pain or shyness(患有社交恐惧症的人会感到恐惧、紧张、痛苦或害羞)为说明其症状表现,和下文构成一个复合句关系,上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
2.根据上文“People with a social phobia often have anticipatory (预期的) anxiety.”(患有社交恐惧症的人通常会有预期性焦虑。)可知,说明社交恐惧症的人通常会有预期性焦虑,结合选项E项In other words, they worry about the situation before it happens.(换句话说,他们在事情发生之前就开始担心。)是对上文意思的补充解释说明且和下文this构成指代呼应。故选E项。
3.根据该段第二层中心句“Besides, imagination can play tricks on us in social situations.”(此外,在社交场合,想象力会捉弄我们。)以及上文“In most cases you are afraid of things that have not happened or are not happening.”(在大多数情况下,你害怕那些没有发生或没有发生的事情。)可知,该段主要讲的是想象力会捉弄我们,我们可能会担心那些没有发生过或没有发生的事情,F项You are held back by worrying about of what others may be thinking of you(阻碍你的是你担心着别人会怎么看你。)和上文内容相关,都是讲的担心别人的看法,也是对上文内容的语意递进,也和下文指示代词that构成呼应,上下文语意连贯。故选F项。

If we try to relate to the outside of our usual circle, we will feel more comfortable little by little. In this way, when a social event arrives that we want to attend or take part in, we will be better able to be comfortable in it.”(如果我们总是出于恐惧而逃避社交场合,我们就很难克服它们。如果我们试着与我们平常圈子之外的人建立联系,我们会逐渐感到更舒服。这样,当我们想要参加或参与的社交活动到来时,我们就能更好地适应它。)可知,讲的是多接触一些社交场合。结合选项A项Look for social situations(寻找社交场合)意思一致,为总结该段内容。故选A项。
Passage 2
(23-24高一下·云南曲靖·期中)
No one likes to fail. Failure is painful and it can also be costly in terms of time, money, or both. 1 If you never suffer a failure, then you’re probably not pushing yourself to your full potential. The following are some tips on how to pick yourself up after you’ve failed.
Remember that other people fail too. 2 They’ll tell you about that great new contract (合同) they signed,not the deal that failed eventually. But failure is normal, and lots of people fail many times before succeeding.
Remind yourself of your past successes. Failing doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve what you want. 3 Maybe you had high marks last term, or you lost weight, or you learned to play a musical instrument. You might want to write down a list of successes. If you ever lack confidence, you can go back and read over that list.
4 Your past successes are important, but so are your past failures. You’ve made mistakes before, and you’ve survived them. By acknowledging your failures, you can remind yourself that today is no different. Just as you recovered in the past, you can recover from your recent failure too.
5 Whatever goes wrong, you’re probably facing some sort of decision. Don’t rush into making a hasty decision, but do look for a forward path. That might require some deep thinking.
A.Make a decision wisely.
B.Limit the damage caused.
C.Remind yourself of your past failures.
D.However, failure is a normal part of life.
E.Get some advice and support from others.
F.Most people don’t talk openly about their failures.
G.Think of all the times in the past when you’ve succeeded.
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.G 4.C 5.A
【难度】0.85
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些在失败后如何振作起来的建议。
1.上文“No one likes to fail. Failure is painful and it can also be costly in terms of time, money, or both.(没有人喜欢失败。失败是痛苦的,也可能在时间、金钱或两者方面付出代价)”以及下文“If you never suffer a failure, then you’re probably not pushing yourself to your full potential.(如果你从未经历过失败,那么你可能没有充分发挥自己的潜力)”说明失败是痛苦的并需要付出代价,但是如果从未经历过失败,也不能发挥自己的潜力。空处和前文形成转折关系,并引出下文的内容。D项“然而,失败是生活中正常的一部分。”符合语境。故选D。
2.下文“They’ll tell you about that great new contract (合同) they signed,not the deal that failed eventually.(他们会告诉你他们签署的那份伟大的新合同,而不是最终失败的交易)”说明大多数人只会分享成功的故事,不会公开谈论自己的失败。空处引出下文中的内容,下文中的they指代F项中的Most people,该项中的“don’t talk openly about their failures”和下文中的“not the deal that failed eventually”相呼应,说明大多数人不会公开谈论他们的失败。故选F。
3.上文“Remind yourself of your past successes. Failing doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve what you want.(提醒自己过去的成功。失败并不意味着你永远不会实现你想要的东西)”说明本段建议读者要关注自己过去的成功。空处顺接前文,同时引出下文中“过去成功”的例子。G项“回想一下过去你成功的所有时刻。”符合语境,该项中的“when you’ve succeeded”和上文中“Remind yourself of your past successes”相呼应。故选G。
4.下文“Your past successes are important, but so are your past failures. You’ve made mistakes before, and you’ve survived them.(你过去的成功很重要,但你过去的失败也很重要。你以前犯过错误,但你从中幸存了下来)”以及“Just as you recovered in the past, you can recover from your recent failure too.(正如你过去的恢复一样,你也可以从最近的失败中恢复过来)”说明本段主要引导读者回顾过去的失败,以提醒自己失败是可以克服的。C项“提醒自己过去的失败。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选C。
5.下文“Whatever goes wrong, you’re probably facing some sort of decision. Don’t rush into making a hasty decision, but do look for a forward path. That might require some deep thinking.(无论出了什么问题,你都可能面临某种决定。不要急于做出仓促的决定,但要寻找前进的道路。这可能需要一些深入思考)”说明本段建议读者面对一些决定时要慢,不要仓促做决定。A项“明智地做出决定。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选A。
Passage 3
(24-25高一下·云南昆明·期中)
Listening to music can help you relax, but really listening to music can help you expand (拓展) your mind and appreciate music on a deeper level. Active listening takes practice, but lucky for you, we’re here to share some tips!
1 According to professional pianist Warren Lee, one of the best ways to really listen to music is to “learn the overall structure (整体结构) of a piece”. Note any repetition, variation, melodies (旋律), and harmonies throughout the song, and question their placement: Why is a certain part being repeated or varied? Is it because the melody is great? 2
Focus on a specific instrument and how it contributes to the song. 3 And then forget everything else that’s playing. Listen to the tone (音色), and how it shapes the melody.
Think about the song’s movement or progression (变化). 4 Does the singer end up in the same place as where they started, or does the song tell a story of how they’ve “changed”? The key change in “Hey Jude” is one of the most important and famous examples of movement and change in pop music. 5 According to Warren Lee, paying attention to the song’s progression can help you listen to music on a deeper level.
A.Is it to bring out the lyrics?
B.Pick one instrument in the song.
C.How does the singer choose the instrument?
D.Pay attention to the basic structure of the song.
E.In a second, the song goes from thoughtful to joyous.
F.Listen to the melody and search for the background context about the song.
G.Listen once, and then replay the song to see if there are any changes from start to finish.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.B 4.G 5.E

(听一遍,然后重放这首歌,看看从头到尾有没有变化。)”符合语境,与前后文共同围绕思考歌曲的变化展开。故选G。
5.根据前文“The key change in “Hey Jude” is one of the most important and famous examples of movement and change in pop music. (《Hey Jude》中的关键变化是流行音乐中变化和发展的最著名例子之一。)”和后文“According to Warren Lee, paying attention to the song’s progression can help you listen to music on a deeper level.

The Money-Draining Mistakes Travelers Make
Planning a low-cost trip? You don’t have to give up comfort or safety! Travel experts say we can have great trips without spending too much, only if you let go of the luxury (奢华的) travel posts you keep seeing on social media. 1
Chasing dream destinations
Going to your dream place might empty your wallet. Instead, find cheaper places to visit. For example, if Paris is too expensive, try Montreal. 2 Similarly, visiting New York’s Finger Lakes instead of Napa Valley saves money on hotels and wine tastings. Focus on experiences, not just the destination!
3
Travel prices vary by season. Flying during off-peak times, like winter, can save money. For example, visiting Santorini in winter saved one family $500 per person compared to summer prices. Also, avoid flying on weekends—Sundays and Mondays are pricier because of business travelers. Being flexible with dates helps you save!
Assuming vacation rentals are cheaper
4 Actually, prices for vacation rentals like Airbnb or VRBO have risen, sometimes costing more than hotels. Budget hotels and hostels can be better deals. Some hostels even have game rooms for kids. Another option is house-sitting or swapping—you can stay for free by caring for someone’s home.
Staying in the city center
Staying in busy tourist areas like Times Square or Hollywood can cost more. Instead, try neighborhoods outside the city center. In New York, dining in the Bronx costs less than in Manhattan. In Paris, visiting St. Ouen’s antique markets is free and fun. Avoiding the city center saves money and offers authentic experiences!
Remember, travel is about enjoying new places, not matching fancy social media posts. 5 By doing so, your wallet will surely thank you!
A.Traveling with family.
B.Booking specific dates.
C.Travel smarter, not harder.
D.Comparison is the thief of joy.
E.A flight from New York to Paris costs more, than one to Montreal.
F.Avoid the following common mistakes to save money and still enjoy your trip!
G.Travelers often assume that a vacation rental will be more affordable than a hotel.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.B 4.G 5.C
【难度】0.65
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了旅行者在旅行过程中可能会犯的一些导致花费过多的错误,并提供了相应的建议来避免这些错误,从而实现更经济实惠的旅行。
1.空前“Travel experts say we can have great trips without spending too much, only if you let go of the luxury (奢华的) travel posts you keep seeing on social media.(旅游专家表示,我们可以在不花太多钱的情况下享受美好的旅行,前提是你不要再在社交媒体上看到那些豪华旅游的帖子了。)”说明了如果想不花太多钱来旅游的话就不要再看那些豪华旅游的帖子,空后小标题讲的是一些需要避免的事情,F选项“Avoid the following common mistakes to save money and still enjoy your trip!(避免以下常见错误,既能省钱,又能享受你的旅行!)”说明了也要避免下面的一些错误,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
2.空前“Going to your dream place might empty your wallet. Instead, find cheaper places to visit. For example, if Paris is too expensive, try Montreal.(去你梦想的地方可能会掏空你的钱包。相反,找更便宜的地方参观。例如,如果巴黎太贵,那就去蒙特利尔。)”说明了去理想的地方费钱,去个便宜的地方也可以,D选项“Comparison is the thief of joy.(攀比是偷走快乐的小偷。)”说明了对比理想的地方和便宜的地方会让人快乐,承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
3.空格处是本段小标题,由下文“Flying during off-peak times, like winter, can save money. For example, visiting Santorini in winter saved one family $500 per person compared to summer prices. Also, avoid flying on weekends—Sundays and Mondays are pricier because of business travelers. Being flexible with dates helps you save!(在非高峰时段飞行,比如冬天,可以省钱。例如,与夏季相比,冬季访问圣托里尼岛可以为一个家庭每人节省500美元。另外,避免在周末坐飞机——周日和周一的机票会更贵,因为会有商务旅客。灵活安排日期能帮你省钱!)”可知,本段主要讲的是要灵活安排旅行的时间,B选项“Booking specific dates.(预定特定的日期。)”和旅行的时间有关,概括了本段内容,可作为小标题。故选B。
4.本段小标题是“Assuming vacation rentals are cheaper(假设度假租金更便宜)”,空格处应该和假设度假租金更便宜有关,G选项“Travelers often assume that a vacation rental will be more affordable than a hotel.(旅行者通常认为度假租房会比住酒店更实惠。)”说明了旅行者通常认为度假租房会比住酒店更实惠,和本段主题有关,符合语境。故选G。
5.空前“Remember, travel is about enjoying new places, not matching fancy social media posts.(记住,旅行是为了享受新的地方,而不是为了迎合社交媒体上那些花哨的帖子。)”说明了旅行是为了享受新的地方,而不是为了迎合社交媒体上那些花哨的帖子,空格处应该承接空前内容,说要理性地旅行,C选项“Travel smarter, not harder.(更聪明地旅行,而不是更难。)”说明了要更聪明地旅行,符合语境。故选C。

How to Make Your Clothes Last Longer
We have to throw out some clothes that we love just because we’ve not taken good care of them. Four top tips can help you make your clothes last longer. 1
●Reduce the times you wash your clothes. Washing your clothes less doesn’t mean wearing the same T-shirt tor a week. You can wear clothes like jeans and jumpers at least three times before washing.

●Air your clothes dry if possible. Drying your clothes on a line is good for both your clothes and he environment. 4 When possible, just use the dryer at a low temperature.
● 5 Rather than throw something out because of a small hole or tear. Knowing how to use a needle and thread (线) and a few basic repairing techniques can be friendly to your clothes and your pocket. If the work is beyond your skills, you can find repair places nearby your houses.
A.Hang your jumpers on the clothes line.

Protecting Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage, whether it is ancient buildings, traditional festivals, or unique handicrafts, is of great significance to a nation or a community. 1 It is not only a symbol of our history but also a source of our cultural identity. However, cultural heritage is facing various threats today. Here are some effective ways to protect it.
2 Laws can set clear rules and regulations to govern the activities related to cultural heritage. For example, laws can prevent the unauthorized demolition of historical buildings and the illegal trade of cultural relics. Without proper laws, cultural heritage may be easily damaged or lost. Governments around the world should attach great importance to formulating and improving relevant laws.
Raising public awareness is another key aspect. Many people may not fully understand the value of cultural heritage. 3 They might think these old-fashioned things have no connection with modern life. Through educational programs in schools and public campaigns, we can let people know that cultural heritage is the root of a nation and is closely related to our daily lives.
International cooperation also plays a vital role. Cultural heritage is a global treasure, and the damage to it in any part of the world is a loss for all of humanity. 4 Different countries can share their experiences and technologies in protecting cultural heritage. For instance, when a natural disaster occurs in a country and damages its cultural heritage sites, other countries can offer help and support.
In conclusion, protecting cultural heritage requires the joint efforts of everyone. 5
A.Establishing legal protection is essential.
B.We should respect different cultural heritages.
C.Cultural heritage protection needs enough funds.
D.As a result, they may not take action to protect it.
E.It reflects the wisdom and creativity of our ancestors.
F.Therefore, countries should work together to safeguard it.
G.By taking actions in many ways, we can achieve this goal.

China has been the birthplace of many of the world’s greatest inventions. It was, for example, the first country to produce paper money. 1 During that time, for example, buying a chicken might cost several potatoes. This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services is called bartering (易货贸易).
2 In 1200 BC, people in China began to use shells as money. Usually, the shells used as money were very small. This made it easier for people to carry money over long distances, and allowed for trade to develop between different parts of the country.
In the years which followed this invention, many other countries around the world began to do the same. 3
The next development was in 1000 BC, when China started making bronze and copper shells. It wasn’t long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal. 4 By 500 BC, metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece, and later in the Roman Empire.
About 1,000 years later, leather was used as money in China. 5 It was still many years before paper currency appeared in Europe.
A.As time went by, trade between countries increased.
B.People also began collecting foreign coins as souvenirs.
C.They also used tiny shells as money for buying and selling.
D.However, as economies developed, such exchanges became impractical.
E.The first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.
F.And in 806 AD, the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.
G.Before the invention of paper money and coins, people used different kinds of things for buying and selling.

It’s common to see a barista (咖啡师) create coffee art, but it’s different from doing the same thing with tea. Creating tea art in cups, or “dian cha” in Chinese, improves the taste of tea. 1 The difference is that it is made of tea rather than milk.
Chinese tea culture started to be popular during the Tang Dynasty and developed rapidly throughout the Song Dynasty. Different from the way of brewing (酿造) tea during the Tang period, in the Song Dynasty, the popular way of having tea was through “dian cha”. In the eyes of people of that time, good tea should be white and fine. 2
The process begins with hot water being poured over fine powdered (粉末状的) tea creating a paste. Then more hot water is slowly added as the tea is continually stirred by hand with a bamboo stiek. 3 That is where the name “dian cha” comes. The key is to practice cooperation between the wrist (手腕) and the arm. It usually requires stirring the mixture between 180 and 200 times before the water and the tea are fully combined and the foam (泡沫) appears. Then, one can feel free; to make artistic designs in the foam with the tea paste. 4 To lengthen its life, it’s advisable to take a photo.
5 It takes a year of practice, through trial and error, for one to achieve such proficiency (熟练度).
A.The action of pouring hot water is called dian.
B.It is similar to the foam on top of a cup of coffee.
C.However, the design on tea foam will only last for up to an hour.
D.Usually, the whole process has to be completed within 10 minutes
E.The ideal state is when the tea temperature is around 40℃, ready to be tasted.
F.The better the tea, the whiter it should be, and the longer the foam should last.
G.The patterns created on the tea foams are often poems, calligraphy and paintings.

The system is simple. 1 . They can’t be booked in advance. As long as you follow the MBA’s Bothy Code (行为规范), which is based on respect for other users, the bothy and the surroundings, you’re welcome.
2 Although the grid (坐标) references are available online, don’t count on phone signal when looking for them. And even with a well-marked map, it is difficult to find them.
Every bothy is an adapted building with a previous life. 3 . In the early 20th century, hill farming declined and fewer and fewer people lived in remote locations, leaving many buildings abandoned.
After World War II, hiking and mountaineering as leisure pursuits dramatically increased in popularity and those exploring the outdoors began using these abandoned buildings as shelters. The MBA was created by Bernard Heath and a group of friends. 4 .
Although they’re maintained, bothies are by no means luxurious. You won’t find electricity or running water and will be lucky to have a long-drop toilet. Most will have a stove, but there may be no fuel supply. 5 , so you should pack as if you’re camping, including a tent if the bothy is overcrowded or you don’t fancy the company.
A.That is if you can find them
B.Your comforts are carried in
C.This depends on your budget
D.They made a lot of friends in the shelters
E.Bothies are free to use and open to anyone
F.It aimed to restore and maintain them for like-minded individuals
G.Most are old shepherds’ huts, farmhouses or workers’ accommodation

Tips for Using Less Plastic
In today’s world, plastic pollution is a pressing environmental issue. Making small changes in our daily lives can significantly reduce our plastic consumption. Here are some practical tips to help you use less plastic.
Carry Your Own Reusable Bags
Gone are the days of relying on single-use plastic bags at the grocery store. 1 These bags are not only more durable but also come in various sizes and styles. For example, you can choose a large, sturdy bag for your weekly groceries or a smaller, foldable one for quick trips to the market. By using reusable bags, you can avoid the countless plastic bags that end up in landfills or oceans each year.
2
Every time you buy bottled water or coffee in a disposable cup, you contribute to plastic waste. Reusable water bottles and coffee cups are a simple and effective solution. Invest in a high-quality reusable water bottle made of stainless steel or glass. Not only will you save money in the long run, but you can also ensure that the water you drink is free from potential plastic contaminants.
Say No to Straws
3 They are often used for just a few minutes but take hundreds of years to decompose. If you really need a straw, consider using a reusable one made of metal, bamboo, or silicone. These reusable straws can be easily cleaned and reused, and they come in fun colors and designs. You can even carry a portable straw with you when you’re out at restaurants or cafes.
Buy in Bulk and Avoid Excessive Packaging
When shopping, try to buy products in bulk whenever possible. 4 Many grocery stores now offer bulk sections where you can purchase items like grains, nuts, and dried fruits. Bring your own reusable containers to fill up, and you can avoid the unnecessary plastic packaging that often comes with pre-packaged items.
Choose Plastic-Free Alternatives for Household Items
There are many plastic-free alternatives available for common household items. For example, you can replace plastic toothbrushes with bamboo ones. For storing food, use glass containers with metal lids instead of plastic wrap or plastic storage bags. 5
A.Opt for reusable water bottles and coffee cups.
B.Instead, keep a few reusable bags in your car or purse.
C.They are convenient but cause a lot of environmental problems.
D.This reduces the amount of packaging waste you generate.
E.You can also recycle plastic items properly to reduce waste.
F.Straws are among the most commonly used and littered plastic items.
G.These substitutions can make a big difference in reducing your plastic footprint.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.F 4.D 5.G

As we know, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to the United Nations World Heritage list on July 17, 2016. But there are so many important places not yet on this list. 1 .
UNESCO awarded Shennongjia Forestry District this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment. 2 . It is also one of the rare locations in the world where scientists can observe in real time the ecological and biological processes that occur as the plants and animals develop and evolve.
3 . Firstly, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 meters to over 3,000 meters above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”. Secondly, it has incredible biodiversity. According to official statistics, over 3,000 plant species have been recorded there. This represents more than ten percent of China’s total floral richness.
It is a challenge to look after so many species in freezing cold winter. Scientists walked in heavy snow to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. 4 , the monkey’s population wouldn’t had doubled since the 1980s. Their number reached over 1,300 in 2015 and continued to grow.
But the most impressive aspect of Shennongjia is the local people. 5 . A local village is known for its home-made honey. What is special about the honey is that it is produced by the earliest species of Chinese bee. All of this explains why Shennongjia deserves its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as well as highlighting how understanding, awareness and hard work have contributed towards protecting a unique and wonderful part of our natural world.
A.Although it was cold in the woods
B.It allows various species to live and prosper
C.You might think why Shennongjia was chosen

1.根据空前的“As we know, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to the United Nations World Heritage list on July 17, 2016. But there are so many important places not yet on this list.( 我们知道,神农架林区于2016年7月17日被列入联合国世界遗产名录。但是还有很多重要的地方还没有在这个名单上。)”可知,神农架林区被列入联合国世界遗产名录,结合下文中的“UNESCO awarded Shennongjia Forestry District this status because it meets two criteria required by the list. It contains a naturally-balanced environment.(联合国教科文组织授予神农架森林保护区这一称号,是因为它满足了名录所要求的两个标准。它包含一个自然平衡的环境。)”可知,第二段开始讲述的是神农架被授予森林保护区这一称号的原因,由此可知,此空处引出下文中解释神农架被授予森林保护区称号的原因,C选项“You might think why Shennongjia was chosen(你或许会想为什么选择了神农架)”作为过渡句,自然衔接第二段的内容,解释神农架被选入世界文化遗产名录的原因。故选C项。

3.分析语篇,此空应为本段的主题句,结合空后的“Firstly, Shennongjia is apparently one of the most “complete” natural areas in the world. The region rises from about 400 meters to over 3, 000 meters above sea level, giving it the name the “Roof of Central China”. Secondly, it has incredible biodiversity. (首先,神农架显然是世界上最“完整”的自然区域之一。该地区海拔从400米左右上升到3000多米,因此被称为“华中屋脊”。其次,它拥有令人难以置信的生物多样性。)”可知,本段内容主要解释了被选入世界文化遗产名录的两个原因,F选项“There are two main reasons for Shennongjia was chosen(神农架被选入名录有两个主要的理由)”讲述的内容与空后的内容吻合,概括了本段的内容,作为本段的主旨句最为合适。故选F项。
4.根据空前的“It is a challenge to look after so many species in freezing cold winter. Scientists walked in heavy snow to supply food to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.(在寒冷的冬天照顾这么多的物种是一项挑战。科学家们在大雪中行走,为金丝猴提供食物。)”可知,本段的主题介绍的是在冬季照顾这么多物种是一种挑战,进而以照顾金丝猴为例做出解释,D选项“If they hadn’t made efforts to save these monkeys(如果他们没有努力拯救这些猴子)”讲述的内容与空前照顾猴子的事例吻合,且与空后的“the monkey’s population wouldn’t had doubled since the 1980s.(自20世纪80年代以来,猴子的数量不会翻倍。)”构成条件关系,符合语境。故选D项。
