Your boss is monitoring your performance at work. Supermarkets are collecting data on your grocery shopping. ___1___ In a few months, European Union law-makers are due to approve proposals that will make driver assistance systems mandatory (强制的) in cars within three years. All new models of car will come with black boxes (event data recorders), intelligent speed assistance, lane-keeping assistance and more besides. A large number of technologies will soon be monitoring a driver’s every move. Are we prepared for devices that watch how we drive and try to help us do it better? ___2___ In a report published in April 2018, it found that the suite of changes could save at least 7,300 lives by 2030, and reduce the number of serious injuries from car crashes by 38,900. “We can have the same kind of impact as when safety belts were first introduced,” says Oliver Carsten, who studies transport safety at the University of Leeds, UK. ___3___ The black box is the most controversial (有争议的) tech because of fears that the tech encourages surveillance. It would be easy to worry about being watched in your car. But the EU rules say the system is only checked in the event of an accident to help with insurance claims and police investigation. The point is to provide for a fair allocation (分配) of responsibility when a crash occurs. Some people choose to have a black box because it can reduce their individual insurance premium (保险费). ____4____ What’s more, the data collected in human-driven cars will help train automated driving systems to the point that they could be ready for large-scale deployment in the future. ___5___ Drivers should think of it as an extra layer of protection, rather than the vehicle trying to take over driving from you. A. Now there is a new field: the automobile. B. There is concern about these technologies, however. C. The tech is reducing costs because it’s reducing the number of crashes. D. Safety isn't much discussed, principally because cars are already very safe. E. While the EU is taking the boldest steps, these technologies aren't far behind in other parts of the world. F. As a result, what may at first glance seem like a surveillance technology is actually a benefit for society. G. The European Commission says that introducing these advanced driver assistance systems will make driving safer. Passage 2（北京第五十五中学2024-2025学年高一下学期期中） Stare at a blank wall in any room, and you are unlikely to learn much more than the paint color. But a new technology can inconspicuously scan the same surface for shadows and reflections. ____1____ But they can be got by one tool and analyzed to determine details including how many people are in the room—and what they are doing. This tool could gather information from a partial view of a space. It can spy on activity from around a corner. ____2____ As people move around a room, their bodies block a portion of any available light to create delicate and indistinct “soft shadows” on walls. ____3____ But these faint (微弱的) signals are usually drowned out by the main source of environment light. “If we neglect whatever we are observing, you would just be left with camera noise—and signal,” says Prafull Sharma, a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Sharma and other researchers did the experiment by filming a wall in a room as its occupants moved around and averaging the frames over time. ____4____ Then the team fed the videos into a machine-learning model to teach it which soft shadow patterns indicated which behavior. The resulting system can automatically analyze footage of a blank wall in any room in real time, determining the number of people and their actions. ____5____ It can register only group sizes and activities for which it has been trained, and it requires a high-resolution camera; a standard digital camera creates too much background noise, and smartphone camera results are even worse. A. The technology is thought advanced. B. These can’t be caught by the human eye. C. They recorded various activities of the people in the room. D. Brightly colored clothing can even cast a light reflected glow. E. It also can monitor someone who avoids a camera’s line of sight. F. The system is considered a unique and wonderful discovery by camera specialists. G. Although this system can function in any room, it performs poorly in dim lighting. 话题2 艺术与生活 Passage 1（北京第五十七中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） Photography is more than an art form; it can also serve as a powerful therapeutic (治疗) tool. Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health. ____1____. Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling (咨询) setting. Therapists guide clients through interactions with personal images, including family photographs, self-portraits, or even abstract visuals, to explore emotions and experiences. The therapeutic process might include interpreting the symbolic meaning of a photo, discussing how it makes the client feel, or using it to explore relationships. ____2____, as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories. Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health. ____3____. As noted on the Photo Therapy Centre website, capturing images encourages mindfulness, as it draws individuals into the present moment and helps them focus on their environment. The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories. ____4____, which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words. Engaging in photography can build confidence and self-awareness, giving individuals a sense of achievement as they create something visible and meaningful. Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing. ____5____. For those looking to explore their emotions or seek new paths to self-discovery, picking up a camera might be the first step toward a brighter and healthier future. A. These approaches are closely related B. Some clients tend to hide their memories C. It bridges the gap between art and mental health D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects G. While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial Passage 2（北京市房山区2024-2025高一下学期期中） The world of stage and screen has always been a fascinating place where stories come to life. Whether through exciting live performances or amazing pictures, these mediums take audiences to a different world. ___1___ From Shakespeare’s plays to today’s big movies, things have changed, but one thing remains the same: to connect people through shared experiences. While this shared purpose unites both mediums, the ways in which they achieve it are different. One big difference between stage and screen is how stories are shown. On stage, actors perform live, making each show special with small changes in how they act and interact with the audience. ___2___ They are made over months or even years, with scenes filmed many times and edited until they’re perfect. The final product is a polished piece of art that can be watched by people everywhere, but it doesn’t have the same effect as live theater. ___3___ Plays often focus on dialogue and the actors’ expressions, while films can use effects, music, and camera work to make the story more exciting, although they both need talented actors, directors, and writers who work hard to bring stories to life. Another interesting point is how stage and screen influence each other. Many successful plays have been adapted into films, and many films have been turned into plays. ___4___ This back - and - forth between theater and movies makes both art forms richer and keeps storytelling fresh. In the end, whether you like the live feeling of the stage or the big spectacle of the screen, both mediums offer you unique ways to enjoy stories. ___5__ So, the next time you watch a play or a movie, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and creativity of making these experiences unforgettable. A. The audiences’ reactions can affect the actors. B. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. C. Stage and screen both rely on storytelling, but their techniques differ. D. In this world, audiences have different emotions and think of their own lives. E. What you should value is stories’ universal charm in bringing people together. F. Films, however, are recorded and can be watched over and over without changes. G. For example, the book Les Misérables was adapted into a stage and then into a movie. Passage 3（北京第八十中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ____1____ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion. So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ____2____ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other. ____3____ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ____4____ Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. ____5____ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading. A. The Internet is probably part of the problem. B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading. C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects. D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly help is at hand. E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week. F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular. G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information. Passage 4（北京师范大学第二附属中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. ____1____ Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. ____2____ For example, some traditional celebrations may include new activities or technologies that were not present in the past, but they still keep the key elements that make the celebration unique. ____3____ Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. Modern weddings may absorb traditional aspects like the white dress, but may also include newer ideas like technology-enhanced design. When a tradition changes, there is always the possibility for it to lose its significance or meaning. For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. ____4____ Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. ____5____ Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. Thus, while traditions may change, they are still important to hold on to our identity and community. It is our responsibility to keep them alive. A. Traditions change for many reasons. B. Traditions can be changed or adapted. C. Traditions usually adapt to meet changing times. D. But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? E The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. F. As society becomes more global, technology continues to affect traditional customs. G. However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. Passage 5（北京市大兴区2023-2024高一下学期期中） Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. ____1____ It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas. Realistic art is easy to understand. ____2____ Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. ____3____ They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses. ____4____ Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity. As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. ____5____ A. Both types of art take skills to make. B. Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured. C. Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training. D. Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago. E. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty. F. In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances. G. Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations. 话题3 自然与生活 Passage 1（北京第五中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） Why does rain seem to make you sleepy? This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. ___1___. It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep. First, there's what we see-or rather, what we don't. ___2___ When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central on Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode. ___3___ Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky” smell. ___4___. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance you may smell ozone(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets. Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called "pink noise." Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. ___5___ The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days. A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime. B. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day. C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable. D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before. E. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night F. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil G. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out 话题4 科学与研究 Passage 1（北京第一零一中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） People Who Can’t Count A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent. So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. ____1____ For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them. ____2____ They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers. There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. ____3____ If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations. ____4____ This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday. On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. ____5____ A. Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all. B. This disability scares children away from learning mathematics. C. They would ask for a phone number again and again before writing it down. D. They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects. E. They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip. F. We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence. G. This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened. Passage 2（北京大学附属中学2025-2026高一上学期12月月考） Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are? Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. ___1___ Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade. The research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality. ___2___ These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages. However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience, while they still maintain energy and vigor of youth. ___3___ Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. ___4___ Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic (人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status. ___5___ However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within. A It also means better physical health. B. These findings can give us a view of the way to endure the passing of time. C. But it is also suggested that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. D. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us in permanent immaturity. E. Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. F. Many researchers are trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer. G. People tend to become less extroverted and less open to new experiences as they age. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 七选五4大常考话题 话题1科技与生活（重点、难点、常考点） 话题3 自然与生活 话题2 艺术与生活（重点、难点、常考点） 话题4 科学与研究 话题1 科技与生活 Passage 1（北京师范大学附属中学2024-2025学年高一下学期期中） Surveillance (监视) is a fact of life. Your boss is monitoring your performance at work. Supermarkets are collecting data on your grocery shopping. ___1___ In a few months, European Union law-makers are due to approve proposals that will make driver assistance systems mandatory (强制的) in cars within three years. All new models of car will come with black boxes (event data recorders), intelligent speed assistance, lane-keeping assistance and more besides.

The point is to provide for a fair allocation (分配) of responsibility when a crash occurs. Some people choose to have a black box because it can reduce their individual insurance premium (保险费). ____4____ What’s more, the data collected in human-driven cars will help train automated driving systems to the point that they could be ready for large-scale deployment in the future. ___5___ Drivers should think of it as an extra layer of protection, rather than the vehicle trying to take over driving from you. A. Now there is a new field: the automobile. B. There is concern about these technologies, however. C. The tech is reducing costs because it’s reducing the number of crashes. D. Safety isn't much discussed, principally because cars are already very safe. E. While the EU is taking the boldest steps, these technologies aren't far behind in other parts of the world. F. As a result, what may at first glance seem like a surveillance technology is actually a benefit for society. G. The European Commission says that introducing these advanced driver assistance systems will make driving safer. 【答案】1. A 2 G 3. B 4. C 5.

Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects G. While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. F 4. E 5. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要阐述了摄影不仅仅是一种艺术形式，它还可以作为一种强大的治疗工具。本文主要介绍Photo Therapy 和 therapeutic photography两种方式。 1. 根据上文“Photo Therapy and therapeutic photography are gaining recognition for their potential to support emotional processing, self-expression, and mental health.”（ 摄影疗法和治疗性摄影因其支持情绪处理、自我表达和心理健康的潜力而获得认可。）可知，Photo Therapy 和 therapeutic photography两种方式对心里健康都有帮助，推断出空格处应体现他们的作用是不一样的。选项G.While they sound similar, they have distinct applications that make them uniquely beneficial.（虽然它们听起来相似，但它们的应用不同，这使得它们具有独特益处）能承接上文，也是对下文的总结，符合语境。故选G项。 2.根据本段首句“Photo Therapy refers to the structured use of photographs in a professional counseling (咨询) setting.”（ 照片疗法指的是在专业咨询中有组织地使用照片。）可知，照片可以在专业治疗中起作用；再根据下文“as photographs can act as mediators (中介), allowing them to touch on challenging topics from a more comfortable distance and helping them uncover feelings and memories.”（因为照片可以充当中介，让他们在一个更舒适的距离内触及具有挑战性的话题，帮助他们挖掘出情感和记忆。）可知，空格处应体现照片的作用。因此 选项D. Using a photo for conversations gives clients a sense of safety （在对话中使用照片可以给客户一种安全感）起着承上启下的作用，符合语境，故选D项。 3. 根据上文“Unlike Photo Therapy, which requires a trained professional, therapeutic photography is an independent or group activity that anyone can engage in to support mental health.”（与需要训练有素的专业人员的摄影疗法不同，治疗性摄影是一种独立或团体活动，任何人都可以参与，以帮助心理健康。）可知，therapeutic photography 是一种更独立、专业要求更低的治疗方法。选项F. This approach involves taking photographs or creating photo-based projects （这种方法包括拍摄照片或创建基于照片的项目），具体阐述了这种方法包括人们可以参与拍照或者用照片做活动，承接上文，并引出下文的“capturing images”。故选F项。 4. 根据上文“The act of creating can also help people process their emotions and tell their stories.”（创造的行为也可以帮助人们处理他们的情绪和讲述他们的故事），可知，用照片创办的活动能够在情绪上去帮助人们；选项E. A famous blog highlights how photography can serve as a visual journal.（一个著名的博客强调了摄影是如何作为视觉日志的。）说明照片可以充当视觉日志来表达人们内心的情感，引出下文“which allows individuals to share feelings they may struggle to express in words.”（它可以让个人分享他们可能难以用语言表达的感受。）。故选E项。 5. 根据上文“Whether guided by a therapist or pursued independently, photography is an accessible way to support wellbeing.”（ 无论是在治疗师的指导下还是独立去追寻，摄影都是一种支持幸福的可行方式。）可知，摄影对精神健康有好处。因此选项C. It bridges the gap between art and mental health （它架起了艺术和心理健康之间的桥梁），其中It指代前一句话中的photography。符合语境，故选C项。 Passage 2（北京市房山区2024-2025高一下学期期中） The world of stage and screen has always been a fascinating place where stories come to life. Whether through exciting live performances or amazing pictures, these mediums take audiences to a different world. ___1___ From Shakespeare’s plays to today’s big movies, things have changed, but one thing remains the same: to connect people through shared experiences. While this shared purpose unites both mediums, the ways in which they achieve it are different. One big difference between stage and screen is how stories are shown. On stage, actors perform live, making each show special with small changes in how they act and interact with the audience. ___2___ They are made over months or even years, with scenes filmed many times and edited until they’re perfect. The final product is a polished piece of art that can be watched by people everywhere, but it doesn’t have the same effect as live theater. ___3___ Plays often focus on dialogue and the actors’ expressions, while films can use effects, music, and camera work to make the story more exciting, although they both need talented actors, directors, and writers who work hard to bring stories to life. Another interesting point is how stage and screen influence each other. Many successful plays have been adapted into films, and many films have been turned into plays. ___4___ This back - and - forth between theater and movies makes both art forms richer and keeps storytelling fresh. In the end, whether you like the live feeling of the stage or the big spectacle of the screen, both mediums offer you unique ways to enjoy stories. ___5__ So, the next time you watch a play or a movie, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and creativity of making these experiences unforgettable. A. The audiences’ reactions can affect the actors. B. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. C. Stage and screen both rely on storytelling, but their techniques differ. D. In this world, audiences have different emotions and think of their own lives. E. What you should value is stories’ universal charm in bringing people together. F. Films, however, are recorded and can be watched over and over without changes. G. For example, the book Les Misérables was adapted into a stage and then into a movie. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. C 4. G 5. E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要比较了舞台表演和电影这两种艺术形式在展示故事、制作过程、艺术效果及相互影响等方面的异同。 1.上文“The world of stage and screen has always been a fascinating place where stories come to life.(舞台和银幕的世界一直是一个迷人的地方，故事在这里栩栩如生)”描述了舞台与银幕能将观众带入不同世界。空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明在这个世界里观众的情感和思考。所以D项“在这个世界里，观众有不同的情感，并思考自己的生活。”符合语境。“In this world”指代上文的“a different world”，且“观众产生不同情感、思考生活”体现了“共享体验”，与后文形成顺承关系。故选D。 2. 上文“On stage, actors perform live, making each show special with small changes in how they act and interact with the audience.(在舞台上，演员们进行现场表演，通过表演方式和与观众互动的细微变化，使每一场演出都独具特色)”说明在舞台上，演员们会通过不同的方式与观众互动的细微变化让演出独特。空处和前文为转折关系，说明电影与舞台表演的不同之处。所以F项“然而，电影是录制的，可以一遍又一遍地观看，而不会有任何变化。”符合语境。however形成转折，指出电影是“录制的、可重复观看且无变化”，与舞台的“现场动态”形成对比，符合段落逻辑。故选F。 3. 下文“Plays often focus on dialogue and the actors’ expressions, while films can use effects, music, and camera work to make the story more exciting, although they both need talented actors, directors, and writers who work hard to bring stories to life.(戏剧通常注重对话和演员的表情，而电影则可以利用特效、音乐和摄影技术来使故事更加引人入胜，尽管它们都需要有才华的演员、导演和作家来努力将故事呈现出来)”可知，本段主要讲述舞台和银幕都依赖于讲故事，但它们的技术不同。所以C项“舞台和银幕都依赖于讲故事，但它们的技术不同。”符合语境，故选C。 4. 上文“Many successful plays have been adapted into films, and many films have been turned into plays.(许多成功的戏剧被改编成电影，许多电影也被改编成戏剧。)”说明舞台与银幕的相互影响，空处和前文为顺接关系，举例说明戏剧和电影之间的改编。所以G项“例如，小说《悲惨世界》被改编成戏剧，然后又改编成电影。”符合语境。“was adapted into a stage and then into a movie”和前文中的“Many successful plays have been adapted into films, and many films have been turned into plays.”相呼应。故选G。 5. 上文“In the end, whether you like the live feeling of the stage or the big spectacle of the screen, both mediums offer you unique ways to enjoy stories.(最终，无论你是喜欢舞台上现场表演的那种真实感受，还是喜欢银幕上宏大的视觉盛宴，这两种媒介都能为你提供独特的享受故事的方式)”以及下文“So, the next time you watch a play or a movie, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and creativity of making these experiences unforgettable.(所以，下次当你看戏剧或电影时，不妨花点时间去欣赏那些为创造这些难忘体验而付出的辛勤努力和展现的创意)”强调两者的共性与价值，呼吁观众关注故事的感染力。空处承接上文，和下文形成因果关系，说明应该珍惜故事在团结人们方面的普遍魅力。所以E项“你应该珍惜的是故事在团结人们方面的普遍魅力。”符合语境。“universal charm in bringing people together”呼应首段“connect people through shared experiences” 的核心主题，且“should value”与后文“appreciate the hard work”形成情感上的顺承，强调故事凝聚人心的本质价值，符合段落总结的逻辑。故选E。 Passage 3（北京第八十中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ____1____ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion. So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ____2____ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other. ____3____ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ____4____ Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. ____5____ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading. A. The Internet is probably part of the problem. B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading. C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects. D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly help is at hand. E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week. F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular. G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. B 4. E 5. D 【解析】本文讲述的是“慢读的艺术”。 研究表明我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章，实际上，我们的网络习惯正在破坏我们处理和理解文本信息所需要的精神力量。大多数慢读者意识到，完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的，他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。 1.根据下文：他们认为，我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章。此处的they应该是指代前文出现的事物，也就是C项中的the two findings，“最近的研究项目有两个发现。”故选C。 2. 根据上句：我们的阅读经常被最新电子邮件的噪音所打断，我们现在在Twitter和Facebook上吸收简短的一连串的单词比长篇大论更有规律。故可知因为有了互联网，我们变得非常善于收集信息。故选G。 3. 根据下文：一群极度渴望的学者希望我们在阅读或重读的时候要放慢速度。故可知现在一些活动提倡缓慢阅读。故选B。 4. 根据上文：大多数慢读者意识到，完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的。他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。由此推知，E项Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.（他们中的一些人建议每周把电脑关掉一天。）与上文匹配。 5. 根据空格下句：你可以下载一个叫做Freedom的电脑程序，这样你就可以通过切断你的网络连接来阅读。由此可知此处的意思是：如果你只是偶尔想要读得慢一些，那么帮助就在手边。故选D。 Passage 4（北京师范大学第二附属中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. ____1____ Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. ____2____ For example, some traditional celebrations may include new activities or technologies that were not present in the past, but they still keep the key elements that make the celebration unique. ____3____ Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. Modern weddings may absorb traditional aspects like the white dress, but may also include newer ideas like technology-enhanced design. When a tradition changes, there is always the possibility for it to lose its significance or meaning. For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. ____4____ Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. ____5____ Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. Thus, while traditions may change, they are still important to hold on to our identity and community. It is our responsibility to keep them alive. A. Traditions change for many reasons. B. Traditions can be changed or adapted. C. Traditions usually adapt to meet changing times. D. But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? E The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. F. As society becomes more global, technology continues to affect traditional customs. G. However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. G 5. E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了传统实际上并非一成不变，而是在不断发展，包括吸收新技术和不同文化的影响。文章指出，尽管传统可能因变化而失去某些原有意义，但适应性变化也能使其与现代受众更相关，增强其吸引力。 1.前文“Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. (传统是许多人的一种生活方式。它们是代代相传的，通常随着时间的推移几乎没有变化)”提到传统几乎不会随着时间而变化，后文“Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? (它们是否失去了它们的意义和重要性，或者它们是否适应并与当前时代更加紧密地联系在一起？)”提出问题，疑惑传统变化这件事意味着什么，因此D项“But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? (但是当传统开始演变和改变时会发生什么呢？)”符合语境，引出传统开始演变和改变的情境，和前文构成转折，引出后文进一步的问题，后文的they指代其中的traditions。故选D。 2. 前文“Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. (传统通常被视为文化中不变的部分。然而，它们并不是刻在石头上的)”指出传统实际上并非不可变化，因此B项“Traditions can be changed or adapted. (传统可以改变或调整)”符合语境，承接前文。故选B。 3. 根据后文“Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. (由于其他文化或新技术的影响，一些传统可能会改变。其他可能是由于价值观的转变而演变的。婚礼传统就是一个很好的例子)”可知，本段主要介绍传统发生改变的原因，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与原因相关，因此A项“Traditions change for many reasons. (传统的改变有很多原因)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的reasons和后文的due to呼应。故选A。 4. 前文“For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. (例如，如果一个社区的传统丰收庆祝活动包含了新技术，它可能就不再是传统的了)”以具体的例子说明传统的改变会让其本身的性质变化，属于负面影响，后文“Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. (那些在保持文化遗产的同时跟上时代变化的人找到了恢复他们的传统的方法，甚至使它们更有趣，与一般人相关)”指出也存在保持传统的同时跟上时代变化的情况，因此G项“However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. (然而，改变也可以帮助传统与现代受众更紧密地联系起来)”符合语境，指出传统的改变的积极影响，和前文构成转折，引出后文。故选G。 5. 前文“In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. (总之，传统是不断发展的)”指出传统不断发展，后文“Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. (相反，它们赋予了传统意义，并以新的、令人兴奋的方式与人们产生共鸣)”指出变化的积极意义，因此E项“The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. (这些变化并不一定意味着传统变得不那么重要了)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，后文是对其解释，后文的they指代其中的The changes。故选E。 Passage 5（北京市大兴区2023-2024高一下学期期中） Art is a wonderful thing that can enrich our spiritual life. It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract (抽象的). Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs. ____1____ It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas. Realistic art is easy to understand. ____2____ Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life, helping us to learn about the past. Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. ____3____ They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy trying to figure out what the artwork expresses. ____4____ Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity. As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging. ____5____ A. Both types of art take skills to make. B. Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured. C. Mastering abstract art needs more artistic training. D. Photographs show imaginary life of people from long ago. E. Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty. F. In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances. G. Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. G 4. A 5. E 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了艺术的两种主要类型——现实主义艺术和抽象艺术，并详细描述了它们的特点、创作方式以及它们在艺术世界中的价值和美。 1.根据空前内容“It comes in two main types: realistic and abstract（抽象的）. Realistic art aims to show real-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making things look like photographs.(它有两种主要类型：现实主义艺术和抽象艺术。现实主义艺术旨在准确地展示现实生活中的场景、人物和物体。它涉及到对细节的密切关注，使事物看起来像照片。)”可知，上文讲述艺术有两种类型，并介绍了现实主义艺术。由此可推测，空处将介绍抽象艺术。选项F“In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances.(相比之下，抽象艺术不太注重现实的外表。)”延续上文内容，开始介绍抽象艺术，和空后“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。)”保持一致。故选F。 2. 根据空前内容“Realistic art is easy to understand.(现实主义艺术容易理解。)”可知，现实主义艺术容易理解。选项B“Viewers can easily recognize what is pictured(观众可以很容易地识别出所描绘的内容)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是观众很容易识别现实主义艺术所描绘的内容。故选B。 3. 根据空前内容“Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative.(与现实主义艺术不同，抽象艺术更注重创造性。)”可知，抽象艺术更具创造性。再根据第一段“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。)”可知，抽象艺术更多的是表达感觉、情感和想法。选项G“Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations.(艺术家有超越现实生活表现的自由。)”延续上文内容，指的是抽象艺术家会有超越现实生活表现的自由，作品更具创造性。同时引出下文“They use shapes, colors and patterns to express feelings and ideas.(他们用形状、颜色和图案来表达感情和想法。)”，从而与上文呼应，指的是抽象艺术家会有超越现实生活的表现，用形状、颜色和图案来表达感情和想法。故选G。 4. 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“Realistic art needs drawing or sculpting exactly to make things look real. Abstract art requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic pieces to show their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.(现实主义艺术需要绘画或雕刻，使事物看起来真实。抽象艺术需要想象力，以新的方式使用形状和颜色。许多艺术家在这两方面都很熟练。他们创作现实的作品来展示他们的技术技能，抽象的作品来展示他们的创造力。)”可知，本段讲述的是这两种艺术类型都需要一定的技巧。选项A“Both types of art take skills to make.(这两种艺术都需要技巧。)”正是本段内容的总结，并引出下文两种艺术类型的技巧。故选A。 5. 根据上文内容“As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the art world various and engaging.(就个人喜好而言，有些人更喜欢现实主义艺术的清晰故事，而有些人则被抽象艺术的神秘感所吸引，在形状和形式中诠释意义。这两种艺术共同使艺术界丰富多彩，引人入胜。)”可知，这两种艺术都有优点，共同使艺术界丰富多彩，引人入胜。选项E“Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty(这两种艺术创作方式都有它们自己的价值和美。)”总结上文，指出两种艺术方式都有自己的价值和美。故选E。 话题3 自然与生活 Passage 1（北京第五中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） Why does rain seem to make you sleepy? This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we’ve lost touch with the sun. In Washington, DC, 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. ___1___. It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a sleep. First, there's what we see-or rather, what we don't. ___2___ When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central on Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode. ___3___ Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a "musky” smell. ___4___. Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance you may smell ozone(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets. Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called "pink noise." Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. ___5___ The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of this evidence is enough to justify doing so; but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days. A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime. B. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day. C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable. D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before. E. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night F. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil G. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out 【答案】1. B 2. E 3. C 4. F 5. G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了为什么雨天会让人犯困。 1.空前说在华盛顿特区，5月的前17天中有14天下雨，此处承接上文，讲的是另外几天的天气情况，故B项（其他几天一天中至少有一段时间多云）符合语境。 2. 空后说下雨和多云时，我们会错过体内的闹钟，因此此处会提到晴天（阳光）对我们身体的影响，故E项（阳光会让我们的身体停止产生让我们晚上犯困的东西）符合语境。 3. 空后说下雨时，雨水会把植物在晴天时产生的油带出来，油和一种化学物质混合，产生一种“麝香味”，因此此处说的是雨天会产生一种什么味道，故C项（雨水中的土腥味能让你感到平静和舒适）符合语境。 4. 空前说下雨时，雨水会把油带出来，油和一种化学物质混合，产生一种“麝香味”，此处承接上文，讲的还是关于“麝香味”这一话题，F项中的that指代的就是前面提到的“a "musky” smell”，故F项（当你在花园里翻土的时候，你也会闻到这种味道）符合语境。 5. 空前说根据一些研究，雨点的滴答声可以通过减少大脑活动来改善我们的睡眠质量，此处承接上文，讲的是你可以通过听雨来检验这一点，故G项（如果你想测试一下，你可以在窗前听一小时的雨声）符合语境。 话题4 科学与研究 Passage 1（北京第一零一中学2024-2025高一下学期期中） People Who Can’t Count A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent. So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. ____1____ For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them. ____2____ They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers. There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. ____3____ If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations. ____4____ This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday. On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. ____5____ A. Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all. B. This disability scares children away from learning mathematics. C. They would ask for a phone number again and again before writing it down. D. They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects. E. They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip. F. We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence. G. This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. G 4. E 5. F 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章对计算障碍患者的特征进行了介绍，并表明这只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的普遍表现。 1.根据后文“For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are.(例如，他们需要数一数桌子上的书，然后才能说出有多少本书。)”可知，此处是指即使数量很少他们也必须数过才知道，D选项“They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.(他们必须经过一个例行程序，即使是数一小部分的物体。)”说明他们连一点东西都要数一下，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 2. 根据后文“They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five.(例如，他们不能理解为什么二加三等于五。)”可知，此处是指计算障碍患者在计算方面有困难，所以选项A“Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.(计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难。)”说明了计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难，因此引起下文，符合语境。故选A。 3. 根据前文“There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics.(对于非计算学来说，抽象的时间概念也存在问题。)”可知，空格处应该说时间观念存在问题会导致什么问题，G选项“This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.(这可以解释他们在阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序方面的困难。)”说明了在时间观念存在问题会导致他们在阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序方面的困难，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 4. 前文“In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.(此外，研究表明，计算障碍患者在社交场合的行为很奇怪。)”，空格处应该说具体的奇怪的行为，E选项“They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip.(他们永远不知道应该给服务员多少小费，或者他们购物后还剩下多少钱。)”是在社交场合的奇怪的行为，且后文“This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.(这种糟糕的能力可以解释为什么他们从不知道他们应该找多少零钱，也不知道他们的假期需要什么样的预算。)”也是和算钱有关的内容，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 5. 根据前文“On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. (另一方面，非计算型的人很擅长创造性艺术。患有计算障碍的人可以成为画家或诗人。计算障碍似乎不会延迟语言习得。)”可知，计算障碍并不意味着智力低下。所以选项F“We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.(我们可以看到，计算障碍只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的一般表现。)”说明了计算障碍不是智力的一般表现，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 Passage 2（北京大学附属中学2025-2026高一上学期12月月考） Imagine, for a moment, that you had no birth certificate and your age was simply based on the way you feel inside. How old would you say you are? Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact. ___1___ Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old — while others fade. The research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality. ___2___ These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages. However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience, while they still maintain energy and vigor of youth. ___3___ Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age. ___4___ Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden — even when you control for other demographic (人口学的) factors such as education, race or marital status. ___5___ However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within. A It also means better physical health. B. These findings can give us a view of the way to endure the passing of time. C. But it is also suggested that people often don’t experience ageing the same way. D. It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us in permanent immaturity. E. Some studies have explored the potential physical consequences of this difference. F. Many researchers are trying to study how this knowledge might help us live longer. G. People tend to become less extroverted and less open to new experiences as they age. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. D 4. A 5. B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“主观年龄”这一概念展开，介绍了主观年龄与人格特质的关联，以及主观年龄对人们身心健康和衰老状态的影响，揭示了心态年轻化对生活质量的重要意义。 1.根据上文“Like your height or shoe size, the number of years that have passed since you first entered the world is an unchangeable fact.(就像你的身高或鞋码一样，从你来到这个世界起流逝的岁月是一个不可改变的事实)”以及下文“Scientists are increasingly interested in this quality. They are finding that our “subjective age” may be essential for understanding the reasons why some people appear to be energetic as they grow old— while others fade.(科学家们对这种特质越来越感兴趣。他们发现，我们的“主观年龄”或许是理解为何有些人变老后依旧精力充沛，而有些人却风采不再的关键)”可知，此空需要通过转折引出“主观年龄”的概念，说明客观年龄和主观感受的差异。C选项“But it is also suggested that people often don’t experience ageing the same way.(但有研究表明，人们体验衰老的方式往往不尽相同)”中的“But”形成转折，承接前文的客观年龄事实，同时为下文的“subjective age”话题做铺垫，符合语境。故选C项。 2. 根据上文“The research has explored how subjective age interacts with our personality.(研究探讨了主观年龄与人格特质之间的联系)”以及下文“These personality changes are often considered more obvious in the people with older subjective ages.(这些人格变化在主观年龄偏大的人身上往往表现得更为明显)”可知，此空需要具体说明年龄增长带来的人格变化，“These personality changes”指代的就是该空内容。G选项“People tend to become less extroverted and less open to new experiences as they age.(随着年龄增长，人们往往会变得不再那么外向，也不再那么乐于接受新体验)”具体阐述了年龄相关的人格变化，与下文的表述形成呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 3. 根据上文“However, those who feel younger than they really are also become more reliable and less neurotic as they gain the wisdom that comes with greater life experience, while they still maintain energy and vigor of youth.(然而，那些自我感觉比实际年龄年轻的人，在收获人生阅历带来的智慧的同时，也会变得更可靠、不易情绪化，同时还能保持年轻人的精力与活力)”可知，此空需要对前文内容进行总结，强调主观年龄小并不代表不成熟。D选项“It’s not true that having a lower subjective age leaves us in permanent immaturity.(认为主观年龄小就意味着永远不成熟，这种说法是站不住脚的)”承接前文提到的“更可靠、有智慧”的特点，反驳了对主观年龄小的偏见，符合语境。故选D项。 4. 根据上文“Feeling younger than your years also seems to come with a lower risk of depression and greater mental wellbeing as we age.(随着年龄增长，自我感觉比实际年龄年轻似乎还能降低抑郁风险，提升心理健康水平)”以及下文“Feeling between 8 and 13 years older than your actual age resulted in an 18-25% greater risk of death over the study periods, and greater disease burden(研究发现，自我感觉比实际年龄大8到13岁的人，在研究期间的死亡风险会增加18%至25%，且患病负担更重)”可知，此空需要承接前文的心理健康益处，引出主观年龄小对身体健康的积极影响。A选项“It also means better physical health.(这也意味着更好的身体健康状况)”中的“It”指代前文的“Feeling younger than your years”，“also”体现递进关系，衔接下文的身体健康风险相关内容，符合语境。故选A项。 5. 根据下文“However old you really are, it’s worth questioning whether any of those limitations are coming from the within.(无论你的实际年龄有多大，都值得问问自己，那些关于年龄的限制是否都源于自身的内心)”可知，此空需要总结全文研究发现的意义，引出文末的启示。B选项“These findings can give us a view of the way to endure the passing of time.(这些研究发现能让我们懂得该如何从容地面对岁月的流逝)”中的“These findings”指代全文关于主观年龄的研究结论，同时为下文的内心自省启示做铺垫，符合语境。故选B项。 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
