Most people have a lot of free time available but seldom use it gainfully. 1 There are many hobbies from which you can pick and you can choose one that suits your talents. Once you have decided to start a hobby, it will be wise to go through a list of popular hobbies and choose one that is close to your heart and can make you feel confident. Some of the most popular hobbies that people generally take to are reading, listening to music, gardening, fishing, sports, music, exercise and computer-related activities. 2 Once you start, you seldom think of giving it up. Learning a new hobby is really a wonderful experience. As you progress, you will be living in a new world and learning new skills. You will begin to discover your hidden talents that you didn’t know. You will start reading more about your hobby, meeting other hobbyists with similar interests, exchanging views and building friend circles both near and far. 3 In these games you will get the opportunity to meet others on a regular basis and develop great relationship. 4 They can help you keep good health and remain fit. On the other hand, if you are young and take a great interest in sports, you can develop your skills and finally get financially rewarded too. Similarly, gardening provides the hobbyist with enjoyable pastime and opportunity for relaxation. At the same time they get the rewards of their labor. People take up hobbies for interest, enjoyment and relaxation. Over a period of time, you might develop outstanding skills and get financially rewarded. 5 A．Each of these hobbies can give you great benefits.

Being in nature allows my mind to wander where it will, which often starts my creativity as a writer and musician. Now some new science suggests that daydreaming may actually make us happier and more creative. 1 Daydreaming may be good for creativity Mind—wandering has been associated with creativity for centuries. A study found that people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash. 2 —it was just suddenly there. When people’s minds wander in ways that seem meaningful to them, they tend to have more creative ideas and feel more inspired at the end of the day, too. Interestingly, this is true for both writers and everyday people. 3 Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood. In this study, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off—task, they generally felt more negative. But if their thoughts were free—moving. It had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier. 4 . If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. Can we be better mind—wanderers? Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus. 5 . So, just having more control over when mind—wandering happens and the kind of thoughts that you have would be very useful. A．The key is that we do it the right way. B．Mind—wandering can help boost our mood. C．I find that science supports my own experience. D．Taking a break might be good for our productivity E．People didn’t even know how they got to the solution F．I hope people will explore the limits of mind—wandering G．This may help you feel better or come up with creative ideas 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．B 4．C 5．G 【导语】本文是说明文。文章说明了人们在做事的时候大脑开小差, 在一定的情况下有利于人们的创造性思维, 并提出什么时候适合大脑开小差。 1．根据上文“Now some new science suggests that daydreaming may actually make us happier and more creative.(现在一些新的科学表明，做白日梦实际上可能让我们更快乐，更有创造力。)”可知，做白日梦想有好处，但要注意方式，A项“关键是方式要正确”，符合上下文逻辑关系。故选A项。 2．根据上文“A study found that people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash.(一项研究发现，走心的人在任务上表现得更好，答案会瞬间出现。)”和下文“it was just suddenly there.(只是突然出现。)”可知，答案会突然出现在人的脑海中， E项“人们甚至不知道是怎么想到答案的”和空处上下句构成完整的信息链。故选E项。 3．根据文章结构可知，空处应是小标题，是对空后一段的总结。本段主旨句“Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood.(现在2021 年的一项研究结果表明，走神实际上可以改善你的情绪。)”说明走神能让人们心情好， 更快乐， 因此选B项“走神可以帮助提升你的情绪。”作为本节的小标题。故选B项。 4．根据下文“If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it.(如果我只是把自己放在一个让我的思想自由活动的空间里，我就不会感到沮丧。 相反，我因此更快乐。)” 可知，作者提到了自己的经历，因此C项“我发现科学能够支持我自己的经历”符合上下文逻辑关系。故选C项。 5．根据上文“Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus.(研究人员警告说，当你需要专注于一项任务时，走神可能会导致问题。 所以，当你做不需要集中注意力的任务时，才可以走神。)”，可知，选项继续说说明走神的好处。G项说“这会让你感觉更好，想出有创意的想法”， 符合语境。故选G项。 Passage 4 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期中）Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. 1 E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. 2 Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products. But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent. Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books. 3 In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture. A bookstore should be a heaven (天堂) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends. 4 A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books. It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. 5 This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace. A．Physical bookstores still face a series of problems. B．This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses. C．Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths. D．Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them. E．Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection. F．Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment. G．That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos. 【答案】1．B 2．G 3．F 4．E 5．D 【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了实体书店的现状，以及实体书店未来发展的关键。 1．根据上文“it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service.(实体书店需要找到新的方法来适应面对电子商务，维持文化空间来提升顾客服务是至关重要的)”可知，实体书店应该寻求创新，而创新是实体书店持续发展的关键，所以B项“This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses.(这是把时尚书店变成持续生意的关键)”符合文意。故选B。 2．根据上文“They are becoming cultural and commercial centers.(它们正在成为文化和商业中心)”可知，书店的用途更加多样化，所以G项“That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos.(这意味着他们不仅提供书籍，还提供咖啡和社交媒体照片的空间)”是对前文的进一步说明，符合文意。故选G。 3．根据下文“In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture.(这样做，他们可能会失去对推广书籍和培养文学文化这一核心使命的专注)”可知，书店的过度商业化，导致他们失去了对核心使命的专注，所以F项“Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment.(一些时尚书店已经走得太远进入商业娱乐领域)”引出下文，符合文意，故选F。 4．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据下文“A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books.(一位书商指出，虽然这些书店投入巨资创造视觉吸引人的空间，但他们在提供深思熟虑、多样化的图书方面往往欠缺)”可知，书店在图书选择方面，缺乏关注，E项“Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection.(对时尚书店的另一个挑战是缺乏对图书选择的关注)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选E。 5．根据下文“This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace.(这种方法帮助他们创造了一个独特的身份，并确保了他们在竞争激烈的市场中的生存)”推知，空处提到了一种对实体书店有用的方法，所以D项“Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them.(专注于好的书籍选择和有意义的文化服务对他们至关重要)”引出下文，符合文意。故选D。 Passage 5 （24-25高二下·江西景德镇·期中）The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. 1 It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! 2 Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.   3 The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge 4 You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. 5 A．Decide acceptable purchases. B．What is a no-spend challenge? C．There should be no quick-fix approach. D．When will you start your no-spend challenge? E．Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F．Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G．A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．A 4．G 5．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过不花钱的挑战来省钱。 1．根据上文“The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff.(你花的越少，存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单，但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯，有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! (这有点像速成减肥法，不过是以一种好的方式！)”可知，上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多，因为花钱是习惯，推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式，故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境，故选F。 2．根据本段内容“Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”，但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟，你不想在账单上落后，而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期，一个月，甚至一整年)”可知，本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”，即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战？”符合语境，故选B。 3．根据上文“If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西，那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货，是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果，不行。而且，没有新iPhone，即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋，即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知，上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的，但是额外的开支不可以，故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境，故选A。 4．根据下文“You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知，下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金，推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境，故选G。 5．根据上文“While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的，但你可以扩展挑战)”可知，上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处，本句为本段最后一句，推测是建议采取这种生活方式，来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢？”符合语境，故选E。 话题2 身心健康 & 生活方式 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·福建漳州·期中）Athletes of every sport prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5K run, here are science-backed tips on how to kickstart (and keep) an exercise routine.Start an exercise routine that you’ll actually continue This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people start off their fitness journey with a too-ambitious routine in the hopes of seeing quick results - only to give up after a few weeks. 1 If you like being in nature, plan a day bike or take up surfing. If you love dancing, try a Zumba class.Give yourself a month Commit to about four weeks of exercise. 2 One 2020 randomized (随机的) controlled trial, for example, found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. “ 3 ,” says Katy Milkman, a professor at the Wharton School of Business who worked on the study. “If you can get that repetition going while you have high motivation, you’re much more likely to have a behavior change that lasts.” 4 Exercise doesn’t have to leave you absolutely exhausted for it to count. Research shows that just a little bit counts in big ways. You can try mowing the lawn, taking your dog on a brisk walk or playing basketball with friends. Any kind of regular, moderate physical activity that gets your heart rate up will bring you benefits like better sleep, reduced anxiety and lower blood pressure.Get a workout buddy 5 Teammates help you “hold yourself accountable,” says Dr. Mitesh Patel, a behavioral scientist. You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if a gym buddy is counting on you to show up and put in the work with them. A．Repetition is the key. B．Engage in various exercises. C．Change your definition of “exercise”. D．So think about the kind of sport that makes you feel good. E．According to research, this can help you build a new routine. F．There’s a reason many Olympic athletes train with partners or on larger teams. G．Try new exercises, explore various workout classes, or engage in recreational sports. 【答案】1．D 2．E 3．A 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了如何开启并保持运动习惯的科学建议，包括：选择能持续进行的运动项目、给自己一个月的时间坚持锻炼以养成习惯、运动不必筋疲力尽而改变对运动的定义尝试多种运动方式、以及找一个一起锻炼的伙伴来保持动力。 1．上文“This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people start off their fitness journey with a too-ambitious routine in the hopes of seeing quick results - only to give up after a few weeks. (这听起来似乎是显而易见的，但许多人在开始他们的健身之旅时，都有一个雄心勃勃的计划，希望能很快看到效果，结果几周后就放弃了。)”提到很多人因为开始时的健身计划过于雄心勃勃，希望快速看到效果，结果只坚持了几周就放弃了。D选项“So think about the kind of sport that makes you feel good.(所以想想哪种运动能让你感觉良好。)”提出了一个建议，即选择让自己感觉良好的运动，这与前文形成转折，并为下文提到的根据兴趣选择运动方式做了铺垫。因此，D选项符合语境，能够承上启下。故选D。 2．上文“Commit to about four weeks of exercise.( 坚持大约四周的锻炼。)”提到要给自己大约四周的时间来坚持锻炼。E选项“According to research, this can help you build a new routine.(根据研究，这可以帮助你养成一个新的习惯。)”中的“this”指代上文提到的坚持四个星期的锻炼的行为，说明了这样做的好处是养成新的锻炼习惯，与上下文内容紧密相连。故选E。 3．下文“If you can get that repetition going while you have high motivation, you’re much more likely to have a behavior change that lasts.(如果你能在动力高涨的时候坚持重复做某事，你就更有可能形成持久的行为改变。)”强调了重复的重要性，A选项“Repetition is the key.(重复是关键。)”直接点明了这一点，与下文内容相呼应。故选A。 4．下文提到“Exercise doesn’t have to leave you absolutely exhausted for it to count.(锻炼不一定要让你筋疲力尽才算数。)”和“Any kind of regular, moderate physical activity that gets your heart rate up will bring you benefits like better sleep, reduced anxiety and lower blood pressure.(任何能让你心率上升的常规、适度的体育活动都会给你带来好处，比如更好的睡眠、减轻焦虑和降低血压。)”可知，此处强调改变了对锻炼的传统认知，即锻炼不一定要高强度才能带来好处。C选项“Change your definition of ‘exercise’.(改变你对‘锻炼’的定义。)”直接点明了这一点，是下文内容的概括和总结。故选C。 5．下文提到“Teammates help you ‘hold yourself accountable’.(队友会帮助你对自己负责。)”说明了有队友或合作伙伴一起锻炼的好处之一。F选项“There’s a reason many Olympic athletes train with partners or on larger teams.(许多奥运选手选择与伙伴或在大团队中训练是有原因的。)”直接点明了这一点，为下文内容提供了背景和原因。故选F。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·江西上饶·期中）Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight? If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when its fully charged. 1 A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. 2 Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin cannot process glucose into energy. 3 What does this mean for you? Depending on your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals. If you're looking to lose 10 pounds, the 18- to 19-hour overnight fast might work well for you. 4 So you could experiment with skipping one meal each day. 5 People who maintain highly active lifestyles, for instance, and need adequate fuel to power morning runs or help muscle fibers recover from intense evening workouts like weightlifting might not benefit. Still, the concept provides an insight into how our bodies use fuel efficiently. A．Of course, this approach isn't for everyone. B．So, let's say you consume 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day. C．Those who ate later in the day, after 6 pm, had higher body weights. D．Otherwise, your phone and its software would take longer to sync. E．This means eating a larger breakfast, a medium-sized lunch and no dinner. F．Like a block in a machine extra glucose slows our metabolic process down. G．The advice to eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar has new science behind it. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．F 4．E 5．A 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了不吃晚餐是否可以减肥的问题，一项新的研究发现，人类能量系统的运作方式与此类似：我们的新陈代谢可能在早晨运转最佳，此时我们的身体充满活力。且实行18个小时夜间禁食的人，比如从下午1点到早上7点，体重最低。 1．根据上文“If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when its fully charged.(如果你的手机需要软件升级，你可能会在充满电的时候运行该操作)”以及后文“A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged.(一项新的研究发现，人类的能量系统以类似的方式运作：我们的新陈代谢可能在早晨运转最佳，当我们的身体充满活力和能量时)”可知，上文提到在手机充满电的时候进行软件升级，可知本句承接上文说明这一做法的原因：否则，你的手机和它的软件同步需要更长的时间，D选项中software对应上文中software。故D选项“否则，你的手机和它的软件同步需要更长的时间”符合语境，故选D。 2．根据上文“Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights.(具体来说，那些早餐吃得多，并实行18个小时夜间禁食的人，比如从下午1点到早上7点，体重最低)”可知，上文提到了体重最低的情况，本句为本段最后一句，应说明体重最高的人的饮食习惯。故C选项“那些在晚上6点以后吃东西的人体重更高”符合语境，故选C。 3．根据上文“Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin cannot process glucose into energy.(与普遍的看法相反，这些延长的夜间禁食似乎有助于提高新陈代谢功能。该研究的主要作者Hana Kahleova博士发现，与早上的饮食相比，晚上的饮食会导致血糖升高，胰岛素无法将葡萄糖转化为能量)”可知，上文提到了晚上的饮食会导致血糖升高，胰岛素无法将葡萄糖转化为能量，可知本句应承接上文说明其结果是：额外的葡萄糖减慢了我们的新陈代谢过程，故F选项“就像机器里的一个障碍物一样，额外的葡萄糖减慢了我们的新陈代谢过程”符合语境，故选F。 4．根据上文“What does this mean for you?

Still, the concept provides an insight into how our bodies use fuel efficiently.(例如，那些保持高度活跃生活方式的人，需要充足的燃料来为晨跑提供动力，或者帮助肌肉纤维从举重等晚间紧张锻炼中恢复过来，可能不会受益。尽管如此，这个概念提供了一个洞察我们的身体如何有效地使用燃料)”可知，后文举例说明了不会从这一方法中受益的人群，可见这个方法不适用于所有人。故A选项“当然，这种方法并不适用于所有人”符合语境，故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·浙江杭州·期中）Bedtime Rituals At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite show. 1 Settling down with a cup of lemon tea or reading a book can tell your body it’s time to sleep. If you turn these activities into a ritual— that is, if you do them every night around the same time — you will be all the more likely to get the rest you need. A bedtime ritual is important not only because it prepares you for sleep but also because it helps establish healthy sleep habits. If your current habits don’t support good sleep, a bedtime ritual can help you make necessary changes. 2 Worry can make it hard to fall asleep at night, but for some people, anxiety at bedtime is common. Rituals can provide comfort by offering predictability and structure. Some rituals, such as journaling, might also relieve anxiety by giving the writer a fresh perspective or sense of meaning. 3 Consider trying several bedtime rituals before settling on a consistent routine. What’s important is figuring out what works for you. Start out with two or three activities according to your needs and preferences. If you enjoy exercise and movement, try yoga or gentle stretching. If you find comfort in order, create a to-do list for the next day. 4 Whether your bedtime ritual takes place in bed or somewhere else, make sure your environment is relaxing. Wear comfortable clothes or pajamas, curl up under a cozy blanket, and keep the lights low. 5 A．Bedtime rituals can also help you reduce anxiety. B．There’s no fixed format for the perfect bedtime ritual. C．Then when the time comes to fall asleep, you’ll be ready. D．For adults, bedtime rituals typically last 30 minutes to an hour.

At some point during dinnertime, everyone in the family is enthralled (被迷住的) with their phone instead of each other. 1 As parents, we should really look at ways to keep this time a positive experience for them. So what can be done to make it happen? Reduce mealtime distractions. Teenagers who can openly talk with their parents during dinnertime tend to experience lower stress levels. This is assuming that their mealtime interactions consist of quality interactions. 2 They may find it harder to engage in quality communication as their attention is divided elsewhere. 3 You can decide if and how you want to involve phones in your mealtimes and openly discuss these boundaries as a family. One option is to set a time limit on how long teens need to wait before pulling out their phones during dinner, or a timer on how long they can be used before being put away. Watch for signs your teen wants to connect. It can be difficult to notice a child’s needs if you are on your phone, which is why it is essential to be aware of your surroundings. Try to put down your phone and give your teenager your full attention when they want to talk to you. 4 Be consistent. Consistent family dinners with positive communication contribute to a better bond between parents and their teens. 5 Looking at your teens’ favorite social media content together can bring you closer. As parents and teenagers laugh and talk together, they feel more connected. A．Set clear rules on table manners. B．Set and communicate clear boundaries. C．You can even use your phones to your advantage. D．Stick to conversations involving the whole family. E．Parents on their phones may ignore their kids more.

It can be difficult to notice a child’s needs if you are on your phone, which is why it is essential to be aware of your surroundings. Try to put down your phone and give your teenager your full attention when they want to talk to you.(注意你的孩子想要联系的迹象。如果你在玩手机，很难注意到孩子的需求，这就是为什么了解你周围的环境是至关重要的。当你的孩子想和你说话的时候，试着放下你的手机，给予他们全部的关注)”可知，G项“This will inspire great conversations you might have missed.(这会激发你可能错过的精彩对话)”讲述了放下手机的好处，是对前文的总结，符合语境。故选G项。 5．根据前文“Be consistent.

According to data from earlier this year, more than 70% of Australians aged 65 and older use social media to some degree. 1 . Our research shows older adults also use them to share memories, participate in community groups and access news. 2 . Research shows many older users are motivated by the desire to stay connected with their families, particularly grandchildren, who often share their lives through social media. 3 . By viewing photos, videos and updates, they can remain engaged with their loved ones’ lives, no matter the physical distance. For others, the need to stay connected in challenging times promotes the adoption of digital tools, making social media an essential way to keep relationships. Despite its benefits, social media is not without challenges for older adults. For some, exploring the complex interface (界面) of platforms can make people feel less confident. The research shows half of older adults feel anxious about using communication technologies, with older women experiencing more anxiety than older men. 4 . Additionally, while social media help connection, it cannot replace the depth of face-to-face interactions. Social media can keep older adults connected. Those with higher digital skills are more likely to experience the positive effects of social media. 5 . As the world becomes increasingly digital, enabling older adults to engage meaningfully with social media will ensure they remain not only connected but also active participants in a rapidly developing social landscape. A．So coping with barriers such as digital skills is crucial B．Surprisingly, a large number of users are older people C．This growing trend is driven by both internal and outside factors D．Social media provides older adults with a virtual seat in the family lives E．The virtual community is an inclusive space where members share experiences F．Some platforms serve as a gateway to reconnect with family and long-lost friends G．Issues like privacy concerns and misinformation can also create barriers to the engagement 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．D 4．G 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了老年人使用社交媒体日益增长的趋势，分析了他们使用的动机和面临的挑战，并强调需要解决这些障碍以充分发挥社交媒体的潜力。 1．前文“According to data from earlier this year, more than 70% of Australians aged 65 and older use social media to some degree.(根据今年早些时候的数据显示，65岁及以上的澳大利亚人中，超过70%都在不同程度地使用社交媒体)”表明很多老年人在使用社交媒体，后文“Our research shows older adults also use them to share memories, participate in community groups and access news.(我们的研究表明，老年人使用社交媒体还为了分享回忆、参与社区群组和获取新闻资讯)”介绍老年人使用社交媒体的其他目的，因此F项“一些平台充当了与家人和失散多年的朋友重新连接的门户”符合语境，老年人使用社交媒体的目的包含与他人联系，承接前文，后文与之是递进关系，选项中的Some platforms是后文them所指代的对象。故选F。 2．后文“Research shows many older users are motivated by the desire to stay connected with their families, particularly grandchildren, who often share their lives through social media.(研究表明，许多老年用户的动机是希望与家人保持联系，尤其是孙子孙女，他们经常通过社交媒体分享他们的生活)”指出老年用户使用社交媒体既有家庭原因，此处作为段首句，应该是总的概括老年人使用社交媒体的原因，因此C项“这种增长趋势是由内外因素共同驱动的”符合语境，总领本段内容。故选C。 3．前文“Research shows many older users are motivated by the desire to stay connected with their families, particularly grandchildren, who often share their lives through social media.(研究表明，许多老年用户的动机是希望与家人保持联系，尤其是孙子孙女，他们经常通过社交媒体分享他们的生活)”提到老年人维系亲情的动机，后文“By viewing photos, videos and updates, they can remain engaged with their loved ones’ lives, no matter the physical distance.(通过浏览照片、视频和动态更新，他们能够持续关注亲人的生活点滴，无论相隔多远都能保持紧密联系)”描述老年人使用社交媒体的具体方式，因此D项“社交媒体为老年人在家庭生活中提供了一个虚拟的位置”符合语境，概括社交媒体对于老年人的用处，承前启后。故选D。 4．前文“For some, exploring the complex interface (界面) of platforms can make people feel less confident.

Many nonprofit organizations couldn’t survive without volunteers. However, you may not realize how much it also benefits your career. ●Volunteer in different areas. You may be likely to just volunteer at one place, and that can be fine. 1 Doing so can help you explore what you’d like to do later in life if you’re younger or even choose a different career if you’re a little bit older. ●Use it to build skills. Volunteering is the perfect opportunity to build your own skill set. 2 You’re basically working a job, and through that job, you gain experience that you can pass on to your work life. ●Network while you volunteer. Another way to help work on your career is to use volunteering to help network. Really, you don’t have to go out of your way to network. 3 All networking is making a connection with other people that you and they can rely on later, and volunteering can help you do that. ● 4 Studies have shown that people who volunteer are more likely to be hired than people who don’t volunteer. In fact, you have about a 25 percent higher chance of being hired if you volunteer than if you don’t. If you don’t have a high school diploma (毕业文凭), that number increases to a 50 percent higher chance. ●Put your volunteer experience on your college application. If you’re still in high school, volunteering looks great on a college application. It shows leadership, initiative (主动性), and commitment, all things colleges love. 5 A．Help you find a good job. B．Increase your chances of being hired. C．Stop waiting to volunteer until you have more time. D．Just be sure to include it on your application when you apply.

Here she talks to us about her experience and tips for traveling better. What inspires your adventures? 2 I have a strong desire to see the differences and similarities in how people live everywhere in the world, even at home in the United States. Did you ever experience any obstacles (阻碍)? I don’t believe in failure. 3 Embarrassment isn’t a natural human personality, in my eyes — it comes from socialization. If I fell over in the middle of Grand Central Station, I’d laugh at myself. I firmly believe that every failure in your life is just an opportunity to learn. 4 My mother has always said “humble (使谦逊) yourself”. I appreciate it because when you travel, depending on your passport, depending on your social class, depending on so many different things, you can go to places with a lot of ego (自我), or you can humble yourself and know that everyone is equal. What are some things people can do to travel more sustainably (可持续地)? Single-use plastic is one of the biggest things harming Earth right now, so a lot of my focus is on that. 5 If you’re in a restaurant and you don’t have a big appetite, ask for a half portion. It’s about being a deliberate (慎重的) traveler, just taking that extra minute to think how I can have a lower impact on this place that I’m in and on the planet in general. A．But it’s not just about the country count. B．I believe failure is the mother of success. C．Curiosity — that’s what’s always inspired me. D．What did you depend on during your travel?

It’s difficult to overcome the addiction to fitness trackers. 3 For example, the number in your smart watch showing how far you’ve come can give you a sense of achievement. Of course, failing to meet your daily goal can be sad. You might focus on your weaknesses rather than your progress. Another problem is that you might find yourself paying too much attention to the step number rather than how your body feels. 4 Therefore, if you’re spending too much time looking at your smartwatch, limit your daily step count to a comfortable level. 5 For example, concentrating on your hobbies or socializing with friends can be a great way to keep your mind on other things. A．Don’t overuse your smartwatch. B．It doesn’t show what you’re really feeling. C．After all, reaching a daily step count can be so attractive. D．How can you tell whether you’re addicted to your fitness tracker? E．Actually, this addiction to step count can be risky, mentally and physically.

Then, how can we create a happier family life? Let’s see some advice. Enjoy togetherness. When children are babies, parents are advised to spend one-on-one time with their babies. 1 This can be a big mistake since enjoying each other’s company (陪伴) is one of the easiest ways for families to create lasting happiness. Parents should regularly spend quality time with their children doing activities together like playing games, sports. 2 Although the Internet has certainly made communication easier, it is still important to have face-to-face time with your family members. Try to avoid using your cell phone so much. 3 Many families have regular meetings where they discuss issues affecting (影响) the family. This can be a great way to start talking face to face. You can talk about your family’s values, or how you can work together as a group to solve problems that affect the family. 4 Plan fun activities as a family. This can be something that you do once or twice a month, or even once a week. This can be something as easy as going to the beach, a park, or going on a trip to visit relatives. 5 Doing the activities regularly can help you build stronger relationships with your family members, and relieve (释放) stress that many families feel. A．Talk more as a family. B．Let family members talk about activities. C．But, as children get older, the one-on-one time is reduced. D．Parents need to help their children manage their daily stress. E．Make quality conversation with your family members, instead. F．You can also try simpler ones such as camping overnight in your backyard.

When children are babies, parents are advised to spend one-on-one time with their babies. (享受团聚。当孩子还是婴儿时，建议父母与孩子一对一相处)”说明父母和孩子应该多相处， 父母应该多陪伴孩子，因此C项“但是，随着孩子年龄的增长，一对一的时间减少了”符合语境，故选C。 2．下文“Although the Internet has certainly made communication easier, it is still important to have face-to-face time with your family members (虽然互联网确实让沟通变得更容易，但与家人面对面交流仍然很重要)”说明家庭成员之间面对面的交流非常重要，因此A项“作为一个家庭多说话”能够概括本段段意，故选A。 3．上文“Try to avoid using your cell phone so much.

This can be a great way to start talking face to face. (许多家庭定期开会讨论影响家庭的问题。这可能是一个开始面对面交谈的好方法。)”说明定期召开家庭会议是有积极效果的，空格处是积极效果具体体现之一，因此G项“像这样的定期沟通可以帮助你建立更牢固的家庭关系”符合语境，故选G。 5．上文“Plan fun activities as a family.

The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 1 It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for “home” are evolving. 2 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m(US)by 2023. While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food & Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 3 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen. Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 4 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking. It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves.

The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. (在古往今来的每一种文化中，厨房都产生了强大的影响。一起坐在餐桌旁的简单练习让我们有机会建立联系和交流。)”及下文“It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for ‘home’ are evolving.

(全球平均时间接近6.5小时。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 4．根据上文“Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place.

A great profile photo can help you stand out. We’ll walk you through simple tips to make it. 2 The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key. Getting the pose right 3 and don’t stand too far from the camera. A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results. Next, consider the space around your face. You want some breathing room, but not too much distance. As for your expression, choose one that truly reflects your personality. 4 ; tension is easily visible in photos. Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look. Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides. Finding a good background Your choice of location matters significantly. Opting for a natural setting such as a park, backyard, or forest not only brings in a refreshing and lively atmosphere but also benefits from excellent outdoor lighting. If you’re aiming for something more professional, an office or library can be ideal. Your bedroom, too, can be a great option. A tidy, well-lit bedroom can add a personal touch and a cozy feeling. Select a clean, minimalistic backdrop that enhances your appearance without overshadowing the image. 5 . A．Having your face right B．Preparing for the photo C．Be sure to keep it simple D．Remember to relax your face E．Position your face in the middle F．whether you prefer a profile photo or not matters G．whether for social media or professional platforms 【答案】1．G 2．B 3．E 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何拍摄一张好的个人资料照片，从面部准备、姿势调整、背景选择等方面提供建议。 1．上文提到“Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online(你的头像通常是你在网上给人的第一印象)”，此处需要进一步说明“网上”的具体场景。G 选项“whether for social media or professional platforms(无论是社交媒体还是专业平台)”通过whether... or...结构，明确了头像在不同网络平台（社交或专业）中的普遍性，承接上文online，强调头像的重要性适用于所有线上场景，逻辑连贯。故选G。 2．根据第二段“The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key.(第一步是洗脸。如果你喜欢把脸刮得干干净净的样子，现在是最佳时机。一旦你的脸准备好了，就该开始化妆了。自然的妆容是非常可取的。在选择产品时要特别注意：避免亮闪闪的化妆品，选择不亮闪闪的粉底，因为这样可以防止你的皮肤在最后的照片中显得过于亮闪闪。洗面和化妆后，让它适合你的发质。例如，如果你是直发，那就好好洗头；如果你的头发很厚，适当的护理是关键。)”可知，该段落围绕清洁面部、化妆、打理头发展开，均属于拍摄前的准备工作。B选项“Preparing for the photo(为拍照做准备)”作为段落标题，精准概括了段落核心——从面部到发型的前期准备，符合段落结构。故选B。 3．下文“and don’t stand too far from the camera. A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results. Next, consider the space around your face. You want some breathing room, but not too much distance. As for your expression, choose one that truly reflects your personality.(不要站得离相机太远。以你的头为中心，肩朝上拍摄通常会得到最好的效果。接下来，考虑一下脸部周围的空间。你需要一些喘息的空间，但不要太远。至于你的表情，选择一个真正反映你个性的。)”提到“不要站得离相机太远”、“头部居中的肩部以上镜头效果最佳”，核心是“脸部在画面中的位置”。E 选项“Position your face in the middle(将脸置于中间位置)”直接对应后文head centered，强调拍摄时的构图要点，与下文“不要离镜头太远”共同构成对姿势的具体建议，逻辑一致。故选E。 4．下文“tension is easily visible in photos. Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look. Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides.(在照片中很容易看到紧张感。对着镜子练习，找到自己最自然的样子。最后，因为不是每个人都有完美平衡的脸，所以从两边拍摄测试照片。)”指出“紧张在照片中很容易显现，练习找到自然的表情”，核心是“放松面部表情”。D选项“Remember to relax your face(记得放松你的脸部)”直接呼应后文tension is easily visible和natural look，强调放松对表情自然的重要性，是对该段“表情管理”的关键总结。故选D。 5．上文“Your choice of location matters significantly. Opting for a natural setting such as a park, backyard, or forest not only brings in a refreshing and lively atmosphere but also benefits from excellent outdoor lighting. If you’re aiming for something more professional, an office or library can be ideal. Your bedroom, too, can be a great option. A tidy, well-lit bedroom can add a personal touch and a cozy feeling.

Being in nature allows my mind to wander where it will, which often starts my creativity as a writer and musician. Now some new science suggests that daydreaming may actually make us happier and more creative. 1 Daydreaming may be good for creativity Mind—wandering has been associated with creativity for centuries. A study found that people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash. 2 —it was just suddenly there. When people’s minds wander in ways that seem meaningful to them, they tend to have more creative ideas and feel more inspired at the end of the day, too. Interestingly, this is true for both writers and everyday people. 3 Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood. In this study, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off—task, they generally felt more negative. But if their thoughts were free—moving. It had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier. 4 . If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. Can we be better mind—wanderers? Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus. 5 . So, just having more control over when mind—wandering happens and the kind of thoughts that you have would be very useful. A．The key is that we do it the right way. B．Mind—wandering can help boost our mood. C．I find that science supports my own experience. D．Taking a break might be good for our productivity E．People didn’t even know how they got to the solution F．I hope people will explore the limits of mind—wandering G．This may help you feel better or come up with creative ideas Passage 4 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期中）Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. 1 E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. 2 Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products. But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent. Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books. 3 In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture. A bookstore should be a heaven (天堂) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends. 4 A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books. It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. 5 This approach helps them create a unique identity and ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace. A．Physical bookstores still face a series of problems. B．This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses. C．Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths. D．Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them. E．Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection. F．Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment. G．That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·江西景德镇·期中）The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. 1 It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! 2 Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.   3 The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge 4 You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. 5 A．Decide acceptable purchases. B．What is a no-spend challenge? C．There should be no quick-fix approach. D．When will you start your no-spend challenge? E．Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F．Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G．A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 话题2 身心健康 & 生活方式 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·福建漳州·期中）Athletes of every sport prove it’s never too late to uncover your fitness potential. Whether you have big Olympic dreams or just want to finish a 5K run, here are science-backed tips on how to kickstart (and keep) an exercise routine.Start an exercise routine that you’ll actually continue This may sound like a no-brainer, but many people start off their fitness journey with a too-ambitious routine in the hopes of seeing quick results - only to give up after a few weeks. 1 If you like being in nature, plan a day bike or take up surfing. If you love dancing, try a Zumba class.Give yourself a month Commit to about four weeks of exercise. 2 One 2020 randomized (随机的) controlled trial, for example, found that people who were paid to exercise for 28 days were likely to continue exercising 10 months later. “ 3 ,” says Katy Milkman, a professor at the Wharton School of Business who worked on the study. “If you can get that repetition going while you have high motivation, you’re much more likely to have a behavior change that lasts.” 4 Exercise doesn’t have to leave you absolutely exhausted for it to count. Research shows that just a little bit counts in big ways. You can try mowing the lawn, taking your dog on a brisk walk or playing basketball with friends. Any kind of regular, moderate physical activity that gets your heart rate up will bring you benefits like better sleep, reduced anxiety and lower blood pressure.Get a workout buddy 5 Teammates help you “hold yourself accountable,” says Dr. Mitesh Patel, a behavioral scientist. You’ll be less likely to break from your training plan if a gym buddy is counting on you to show up and put in the work with them. A．Repetition is the key. B．Engage in various exercises. C．Change your definition of “exercise”. D．So think about the kind of sport that makes you feel good. E．According to research, this can help you build a new routine. F．There’s a reason many Olympic athletes train with partners or on larger teams. G．Try new exercises, explore various workout classes, or engage in recreational sports. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·江西上饶·期中）Can Skipping Dinner Help You Lose Weight? If your phone needs a software upgrade, you would likely run the operation when its fully charged. 1 A new study finds human energy systems operate in a similar fashion: Our metabolisms likely function best in the morning when our bodies are fresh and fully charged. Specifically, people who eat larger breakfasts and adopt an 18-hour overnight fast, say from 1 pm to 7 am, have the lowest body weights. 2 Contrary to the popular belief, these extended overnight fasts seem to help increase metabolic function. Lead author Dr Hana Kahleova finds meals consumed in the evening, compared to those eaten in the morning, result in higher blood sugar, which happens when insulin cannot process glucose into energy. 3 What does this mean for you? Depending on your goals and health status, you may consider rearranging your meals.
