Passage 1
(24-25高一下·湖南永州·期中)
I keep a list of things that are underappreciated, and in the sports and games category, one stands above all others: Ping-Pong. Studies have shown that it requires rapid-fire decision-making that activates diverse regions of the brain and increases blood flow. It also helps develop new neural (神经的) pathways that can relieve depression and slow down dementia. 1
For one thing, the game is decidedly an equal-opportunity activity. Age, sex and physical condition matter little. 2 Whether you’re young or old, tall or short, slim or not-so-slim, everyone has a shot at glory. For example, Marty Reisman, a legendary American player, was winning medals at national championships in his second decade, as well as his seventh.
3 If you can’t find a Ping-Pong bat in your storage room, an acceptably good one can be bought for about $20, or a set of four, with net and balls thrown in, for less than $50. The game can be played on any table of reasonable size. 4 Chuang Chiafu, one of China’s first great players, sharpened his skills on the front door of his family’s home, which he would take off the door every morning and replace at the end of the day.
Ping-Pong is an open and easy-to-start activity that benefits players both physically and mentally. With simple equipment and rules, this sport is a hidden diamond for personal and community well-being. 5
A.In a difficult situation, you don’t even need a table.
B.In conclusion, we can enjoy great benefits from playing it.
C.But what truly sets Ping-Pong apart is its openness to all people.
D.Ping-Pong is not just a hobby but a good way to experience life.
E.For another thing, perhaps no sport has lower cost to participate in.
F.Why not give it a go and discover the potential in table tennis for yourself?
G.Instead, individuals of different fitness levels can compete equally in this activity.

Everyone has moments of forgetfulness (健忘) from time to time, especially when life gets busy. 6 , having a poor memory can be frustrating. However, research has shown that there are ways to improve your memory.
Get enough sleep
Sleeping well helps make episodic memories stronger. 7 , especially about learning motor skills, such as learning to play a musical instrument or ride a bike. Having a full night’s sleep soon after gaining a new skill helps strengthen the processes involved.
Believe to remember
Positive thinking appears to improve memory performance. Researchers found they could improve the performance of people aged 60 and above in memory tests by presenting them with positive age-related words such as “wise”, and “sharp-witted” 8 Brain scans have shown differences in activity levels in brain regions, according to whether individuals believe they have good recall abilities or not.
9
Memories can be weakened if the brain doen’t have enough rest to strengthen them. More than a century ago, German scientists showed that people performed almost twice as well in memory tests if they took breaks.
Stay social
10 US scientists who asked people in their 50s and 60s to do memory tests every other year found there is a slower decline in recall abilities of the most sociable persons. Having good friends, volunteering and other forms of social engagement also protect memory.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·湖南怀化·期中)
In modern society, the issues of sleep and weight are increasingly noticeable. People struggle to stay fit and well-rested, and researchers are exploring their link. 16 .
Sleep plays a vital role in regulating our body’s internal systems. When we sleep, our body undergoes various processes that impact our metabolism (新陈代谢). 17 Hormones (荷尔蒙) controlling fullness and appetite are influenced by sleep quality and quantity. Lack of sleep breaks this hormonal balance, increasing appetite and calorie intake.
Many studies show that individuals who lack sleep are more likely to gain weight. 18 Firstly, the hormonal imbalance makes people hungrier. Secondly, sleep shortage slows down metabolism, so the body burns fewer calories at rest, storing extra energy as fat. Thirdly, it reduces motivation for exercise, contributing to weight gain.
19 . Proper sleep can help restore the body’s hormonal balance. It helps to regulate appetite-related hormones, preventing overeating. A well-rested body has a more efficient metabolism. Additionally, when we are well-slept, we are more likely to have the energy and motivation to exercise regularly, which is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight.
To improve sleep for weight control, there are several things you can do. 20 Secondly, establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Then, avoid using electronic devices before bedtime as the blue light can interfere with your sleep. And try to manage stress, as high levels of stress can mess up your sleep patterns.
A.There are several reasons for this.
B.Our body needs sleep to repair and renew itself.
C.The first step is to create a comfortable sleep environment.
D.Here’s what we’ve known so far about how they are connected.
E.For example, a regular sleep schedule can improve sleep quality.
F.On the contrary, getting enough good-quality sleep aids weight management.
G.It is not only important for our physical health but also for our mental well-being.
Passage 5
(24-25高一下·湖南长沙·期中)
Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea. 21
The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. 22 Fiction, in contrast, gives you access to the struggles, and ideas of various characters. The exchange of information is multi-sided. When considering different angles on an event, you’ll realize you can’t control everything.
23 When we’re dealing with daily stress factors, we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. And this view is what we need to reduce our anxiety in the real world.
Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary. 24 The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life. 25 But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it.
A.We want something and we spend years chasing it.
B.But they often mirror events that could happen in real life.
C.We also experience many failures when pursuing our dreams.
D.Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly.
E.Reading nonfiction is a well-established weapon against anxiety.
F.Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance.
G.In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety.
Passage 6
(24-25高一下·湖南娄底·期中)
It’s nearly impossible to meet everyone’s expectations. Whatever you do, and no matter how hard you try, there will always be some individuals who dislike you. There are often times you can overlook them and go on with your routine. Nevertheless, sometimes someone’s unfavorable attitude towards you could have an influence on your grades and your ability to interact with others. 26
Have an open conversation.
This might be awkward, but sometimes the only way to know what is going on or why someone has a problem with you is to speak out honestly. 27 That means instead of saying “Why don’t you like me?” say something like “I sense that there is a bit of tension between us. Is there anything I have done or anything I can do to help?”
28
If you’ve done something to hurt or offend someone and that is the reason for which the person dislikes you, the best course of action is to try to make it right. Clearly say the words, “I’m sorry.” Be sure not to say “I’m sorry you were offended.” or “I’m sorry you felt that way.” or anything else that places the blame on (归咎于) the other person for misunderstanding your intentions. 29
Learn to let it go
30 Importantly, you have to choose not to allow the person who dislikes you to influence you or get you down. It is OK to be disliked. Remember that even the most popular and well-loved celebrities (名人) are disliked by some people!
A.Build self-confidence.
B.Try to express your ideas with “I-phrases”, which pay attention to your feelings.
C.Apologize and make it right.
D.In the end, it shouldn’t matter what others think about you.
E.A sincere apology requires taking full responsibility for your actions.
F.Instead, be modest and admit the fact that you’ve hurt someone.
G.In such cases, you need to take certain measures to deal with the situation.
Passage 7
(24-25高一下·湖南·期中)
Green living is not just an environmental idea; it is a sustainable (可持续的) way of life. 31 . I hope each of us can start with small actions to contribute to the sustainable development of our planet.Save electricity
In our daily lives, we should pay attention to saving electricity. Remember to turn off the lights when you leave a classroom or a room at home. Although it’s a small action, it can save lots of electricity over time. Also, try to reduce the time spent using electronic devices and spend more time reading books or doing outdoor activities. 32 Save water
Water is precious, and we should not waste it. Do not turn the tap on too high when washing your hands, and make sure to turn it off tightly after use. 33 . Additionally, we can collect rainwater to water plants, which saves water resources and reduces our reliance on tap water.Reduce plastic use
Plastic waste is very harmful to the environment, so we should try to reduce the use of disposable plastic products. For example, bring reusable bags when shopping to avoid using plastic bags. 34 . These small changes can reduce the amount of plastic waste and help us develop an awareness of environmental protection. 35
Sorting waste is everyone’s responsibility. At school and at home, we should learn to properly sort waste, such as recyclables, kitchen waste, and dangerous waste. Recyclables like paper, plastic bottles, and cans should be placed in recycling bins to reduce the impact of landfill and incineration (焚化) on the environment. We can also participate in school recycling activities by donating old books, newspapers, and other items to those in need, making better use of resources.
By adopting these simple practices, we can all contribute to a greener and more sustainable world.
A.Reuse and sell waste
B.Sort and recycle waste
C.Here are some tips for green living
D.Water can be used to do many things
E.Try to take shorter showers to avoid wasting water
F.This not only helps save energy but also protects your eyesight
G.Use reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles
Passage 9
(24-25高一下·湖南长沙·期中)
Being around an impatient person can make you feel like walking in a field of landmines(地雷). What’s more, people with little patience often make you lose your own. Since we all encounter impatient people, learning how to react is crucial. 41
●Recognize how today’s fastpaced society increases impatience.
We live in a world in which we expect almost immediate access to most things on demand. The Internet puts so much information at the tips of our fingers. 42 We need time to work, prepare reports and process information.
● 43
Impatience is a sign of being caught up in the future rather than the present moment. Witnessing others’ impatience can remind us to be mindful. It can also remind us that our actions affect others, take others’ impatience as a call to action if needed.
●Strive for empathy.
Empathy means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. 44 Sometimes it can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they don’t know where the report is.
●Avoid allowing impatience to affect you.
45 Either you only see them on a rare occasion or you know them well enough to know their impatience is temporary and not tied to your actions. If you have a family member who is experiencing external stress, their increased impatience probably isn’t about you. Choosing which battles to fight helps you focus on necessary tasks and end conflicts.
A.Learn from others’ impatience.
B.Anticipate impatience at work.
C.An impatient person can be under stress.
D.This works best for people that fall into two groups.
E.It sometimes makes us forget that people are not machines.
F.Here are some useful strategies to protect us from those effects.
G.Try to think about where the impatience could be coming from.
Passage 10
(24-25高一下·湖南·期中)
Have you ever heard the saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future”? It’s not wrong — especially when it comes to your health.
Harvard’s study found that strong social connections don’t just make life more enjoyable — they lead to lower rates of chronic disease(慢性病), better mental health,and longer life expectancy(寿命). 46 . It also helps you make lasting changes.
But do you have to leave old friends? What if your family isn’t on board? And how do you even find “your people”? I’ve got your answers — and three highly effective ways to make healthy changes easier.
47 . You don’t have to cut ties with friends just because they don’t share your health goals. But if your usual hangouts make it harder to stay on track, suggest something different — like meeting for coffee instead of drinks or going for a walk instead of dinner out. This keeps your relationships strong without making you feel like you’ re constantly saying no.
Have the hard conversations. If someone questions your choices or pressures you to “just have one”, it’s okay to be direct. Try: “ 48 —even if you don’t want to join me.” Or if they push food or drinks on you, say: “I feel better eating this way. You don’t have to change what you’re doing, but I’d love for you to respect my choices.”
Make it about you, not them. 49 . Instead of saying, “I’m cutting out sugar because it’s bad for you,” try, “I’m testing a lower-sugar diet to see how it affects my energy.” This way, it feels like a personal choice — not a statement about what they should do.
At the same time, finding people who share your health goals can make all the difference. 50
A.Change the setting, not the people.
B.The right community can keep you motivated.
C.This is important to me, and I’d love your support.
D.People are more open when they don’t feel judged.
E.Therefore, you don’t have to feel like you’ re doing it alone.
F.One strategy is to simply limit the amount of time you spend with them.
G.And the more you feel understood by strangers, the easier it is to stick with your goals.
Passage 11
(24-25高一下·湖南·期中)
Some Winter Activities
Winter activities are underestimated (低估). The days may be shorter, but the list of fun activities isn’t. Don’t let the winter blues take over. 51
Finding your favourite. 52 Nobody likes cardio (有氧运动) for a long time, but signing up for an adult sports team, or taking a yoga class on the weekend can be a fun way to break up the boredom of going to the gym. Recreational (娱乐的) sports are also a great way to meet new people.
Walking on snow. 53 Walking with snowshoes is friendly to beginners, and suitable for kids and seniors alike. You can buy a set for under $100 or rent some for the afternoon. Take a friend or walk alone to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors in winter.
Skiing. Those that love it really love it. Hitting the ski hills is an old wintertime tradition. It gets you outside, boosts your mood, and serves as a core workout. You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. 54 If you’re feeling tired of too much indoor time, get your heart pumping at a nearby ski hill.
55 Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding. Expanding your professional skill can do wonders for your future job prospects. It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season.
A.Go to the gym.
B.Learning something.
C.Most ski fields rent gear too.
D.Be active and try these winter activities.
E.The following are things you can do at home.
F.You needn’t be an athlete to enjoy this seasonal activity.
G.The key to keeping healthy is finding what you enjoy doing.

Passage 4
(24-25高一下·湖南怀化·期中)
In modern society, the issues of sleep and weight are increasingly noticeable. People struggle to stay fit and well-rested, and researchers are exploring their link. 16 .
Sleep plays a vital role in regulating our body’s internal systems. When we sleep, our body undergoes various processes that impact our metabolism (新陈代谢). 17 Hormones (荷尔蒙) controlling fullness and appetite are influenced by sleep quality and quantity. Lack of sleep breaks this hormonal balance, increasing appetite and calorie intake.
Many studies show that individuals who lack sleep are more likely to gain weight. 18 Firstly, the hormonal imbalance makes people hungrier. Secondly, sleep shortage slows down metabolism, so the body burns fewer calories at rest, storing extra energy as fat. Thirdly, it reduces motivation for exercise, contributing to weight gain.
19 . Proper sleep can help restore the body’s hormonal balance. It helps to regulate appetite-related hormones, preventing overeating. A well-rested body has a more efficient metabolism. Additionally, when we are well-slept, we are more likely to have the energy and motivation to exercise regularly, which is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight.
To improve sleep for weight control, there are several things you can do. 20 Secondly, establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Then, avoid using electronic devices before bedtime as the blue light can interfere with your sleep. And try to manage stress, as high levels of stress can mess up your sleep patterns.
A.There are several reasons for this.
B.Our body needs sleep to repair and renew itself.
C.The first step is to create a comfortable sleep environment.
D.Here’s what we’ve known so far about how they are connected.
E.For example, a regular sleep schedule can improve sleep quality.
F.On the contrary, getting enough good-quality sleep aids weight management.
G.It is not only important for our physical health but also for our mental well-being.
【答案】16.D 17.B 18.A 19.F 20.C

When we sleep, our body undergoes various processes that impact our metabolism (新陈代谢).(睡眠在调节我们身体内部系统方面起着至关重要的作用。当我们入睡时,我们的身体会经历一系列过程,这些过程会对我们的新陈代谢产生影响)”以及后文“Hormones (荷尔蒙) controlling fullness and appetite are influenced by sleep quality and quantity. Lack of sleep breaks this hormonal balance, increasing appetite and calorie intake.(控制饱腹感和食欲的激素会受到睡眠质量和时长的影响。睡眠不足会打破这种激素平衡,从而增加食欲和热量摄入)”可知,第二段强调睡眠对身体系统的调节作用,本句与后文“新陈代谢”“荷尔蒙平衡”形成顺承,解释睡眠对生理过程的影响,故B选项“我们的身体需要睡眠来修复和更新自身”符合语境,故选B。
18.根据上文“Many studies show that individuals who lack sleep are more likely to gain weight.(许多研究都表明,睡眠不足的人更容易发胖)”以及后文“Firstly, the hormonal imbalance makes people hungrier. Secondly, sleep shortage slows down metabolism, so the body burns fewer calories at rest, storing extra energy as fat. Thirdly, it reduces motivation for exercise, contributing to weight gain.(首先,激素失衡会导致人更加饥饿。其次,睡眠不足会减缓新陈代谢速度,因此身体在休息时消耗的卡路里会减少,从而将多余的能量转化为脂肪储存起来。第三,它会降低运动的积极性,从而导致体重增加)”可知,后文列举睡眠不足致胖的三个原因,本句总起后文的原因。故A选项“造成这种情况的原因有若干”符合语境,故选A。
19.根据后文“Proper sleep can help restore the body’s hormonal balance. It helps to regulate appetite-related hormones, preventing overeating. A well-rested body has a more efficient metabolism. Additionally, when we are well-slept, we are more likely to have the energy and motivation to exercise regularly, which is an important part of maintaining a healthy weight.(充足的睡眠有助于恢复身体的激素平衡。它能调节与食欲相关的激素,防止过度进食。充分休息的身体新陈代谢效率更高。此外,当我们睡眠良好时,我们更有可能拥有足够的精力和动力去定期锻炼,这是保持健康体重的重要一环)”可知,第四段转向充足睡眠对体重管理的帮助,本句与上文“睡眠不足导致增重”形成对比,指出睡眠和体重管理的关系。故F选项“相反,充足的高质量睡眠有助于体重管理”符合语境,故选F。
20.根据上文“To improve sleep for weight control, there are several things you can do.(为了改善睡眠以实现体重控制,你可以采取以下几种措施)”以及后文“Secondly, establish a regular sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same time every day. Then, avoid using electronic devices before bedtime as the blue light can interfere with your sleep. And try to manage stress, as high levels of stress can mess up your sleep patterns.(其次,要建立规律的作息时间,每天固定时间上床睡觉和起床。此外,在睡前应避免使用电子设备,因为蓝光会干扰睡眠。还要尽量缓解压力,因为压力过大会打乱睡眠模式)”可知,第五段提出改善睡眠的建议,后文提到了第二步,故本句是在说明第一步。故C选项“首步是营造一个舒适的睡眠环境”符合语境,故选C。Passage 5
(24-25高一下·湖南长沙·期中)
Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea. 21
The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. 22 Fiction, in contrast, gives you access to the struggles, and ideas of various characters. The exchange of information is multi-sided. When considering different angles on an event, you’ll realize you can’t control everything.
23 When we’re dealing with daily stress factors, we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. And this view is what we need to reduce our anxiety in the real world.
Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary. 24 The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life. 25 But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it.
A.We want something and we spend years chasing it.
B.But they often mirror events that could happen in real life.
C.We also experience many failures when pursuing our dreams.
D.Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly.
E.Reading nonfiction is a well-established weapon against anxiety.
F.Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance.
G.In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety.
【答案】21.G 22.D 23.F 24.B 25.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读小说能够转变视角、提供远距离的审视角度、反映现实生活中的变化,还有助于克服焦虑。
21.根据上文“Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea.(对许多人来说,阅读非小说类书籍可以帮助他们树立决心,建立日常生活习惯。这种改善的生活方式会减少他们的焦虑。另一方面,当谈到小说时,人们往往拒绝接受这个想法。)”提到人们对非小说类书籍能帮助建立决心和规律生活以及减少焦虑的认可,而对小说类书籍常持否定态度,空处应是转折引出小说类书籍也有好处,G选项“In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety.(事实上,阅读小说也可以帮助你克服焦虑。)”符合语境,起到承上启下的作用。“in (actual) fact”意为“(用以强调,尤其与刚提到的事情相反)事实上,实际上”。故选G。
22.前文“The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. (阅读小说的一个重要好处是它能帮助你改变角度。当你阅读一本自助书籍时,你通常会阅读一系列的课程,包括例子和实用的建议。)”提到读自助类书籍时,读者会从中汲取一系列包含例子和实用建议的经验方法,这是一种单向的知识传递方式,D选项“Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly.(因此,大多数知识是单方面传递的。)”与前文衔接紧密,符合逻辑。故选D。
23.根据后文“When we’re dealing with daily stress factors, we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. (当我们处理日常压力因素时,我们觉得世界要压垮我们了。小说中的人物面临挑战,但我们作为读者与他们的经历是分开的。因此,我们对故事中发生的事情有一个鸟瞰视角。)”可知,此段主要讲阅读小说能让我们从一定距离看世界;F选项“Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance.(小说给了我们一个难得的机会从远处看整个世界。)”符合段落主旨,引领下文。故选F。
24.前文“Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary.(小说故事帮助我们理解故事和现实生活中变化的力量。通过故事,你开始了一段旅程,见证了一个虚构世界的进步。这些变化都是虚构的。)”指出小说中的变化是虚构的;空后“The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life.(以《炼金术士》为例,主角花了几个月的时间去寻找宝藏。他相信找到奖品会给他带来快乐。在整个航行过程中,他经历了许多挫折,他对宝藏的看法也发生了变化。《炼金术士》中男孩的进化反映了生活。)”举例说明小说中的变化反映生活,B选项“But they often mirror events that could happen in real life.(但它们常常反映了在现实生活中可能发生的事件)”承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
25.根据根据上文“The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life.(以《炼金术士》为例,主角要花几个月的时间去寻找宝藏。他相信找到奖品会给他带来快乐。在整个航行过程中,他经历了许多挫折,他对宝藏的看法也发生了变化。《炼金术士》中男孩的进化反映了生活。)”可知,对待自己所多年追寻的东西的,最终态度可能会发生改变;A选项“We want something and we spend years chasing it.(我们想要某样东西,并且会花数年时间去追逐它。)”与后文“But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it.(但经过许多次反复尝试后,我们意识到我们内心并不真正想要它。)”形成转折关系,指出花数年时间去追逐想要的某样东西,最终意识到自己内心并不真正想要,符合语境。故选A。
Passage 6
(24-25高一下·湖南娄底·期中)
It’s nearly impossible to meet everyone’s expectations. Whatever you do, and no matter how hard you try, there will always be some individuals who dislike you. There are often times you can overlook them and go on with your routine. Nevertheless, sometimes someone’s unfavorable attitude towards you could have an influence on your grades and your ability to interact with others. 26
Have an open conversation.
This might be awkward, but sometimes the only way to know what is going on or why someone has a problem with you is to speak out honestly. 27 That means instead of saying “Why don’t you like me?” say something like “I sense that there is a bit of tension between us. Is there anything I have done or anything I can do to help?”
28
If you’ve done something to hurt or offend someone and that is the reason for which the person dislikes you, the best course of action is to try to make it right. Clearly say the words, “I’m sorry.” Be sure not to say “I’m sorry you were offended.” or “I’m sorry you felt that way.” or anything else that places the blame on (归咎于) the other person for misunderstanding your intentions. 29
Learn to let it go
30 Importantly, you have to choose not to allow the person who dislikes you to influence you or get you down. It is OK to be disliked. Remember that even the most popular and well-loved celebrities (名人) are disliked by some people!
A.Build self-confidence.
B.Try to express your ideas with “I-phrases”, which pay attention to your feelings.
C.Apologize and make it right.
D.In the end, it shouldn’t matter what others think about you.
E.A sincere apology requires taking full responsibility for your actions.
F.Instead, be modest and admit the fact that you’ve hurt someone.
G.In such cases, you need to take certain measures to deal with the situation.
【答案】26.G 27.B 28.C 29.F 30.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何应对别人对你的负面情绪的方法。

There are often times you can overlook them and go on with your routine. Nevertheless, sometimes someone’s unfavorable attitude towards you could have an influence on your grades and your ability to interact with others.(让每个人都满意是几乎不可能。无论你做什么,无论你多么努力,总会有一些人不喜欢你。很多时候你可以忽略它们,继续你的生活。然而,有时候,一个人对你的负面情绪可能会影响你的成绩或你与他人相处的能力)”结合后文主要介绍了一些可以帮助你应对别人对你的负面情绪的方法。空处和前文为顺接关系,说明面对这种情况应该采取措施应对。所以G项“在这种情况下,你需要采取某些措施来应对这种情况。”符合语境,“such cases”指代上文“负面态度产生影响”的情形,且引出下文的解决方法,与前文为顺接关系。故选G。
27.下文“That means instead of saying “Why don’t you like me?” say something like “I sense that there is a bit of tension between us. Is there anything I have done or anything I can do to help? ”(这意味着不要说“你为什么不喜欢我?”,你可以这样说:“我觉得我们之间有些紧张。我做了什么或者我能帮上什么忙吗?”)”强调以“自我感受”为中心的表达方法。空处引出下文中的这种表达方法。所以B选项“试着用“I - phrases”来表达你的想法,这能关注到你的感受。”符合语境,且“I-phrases”对应下文“I sense that there is a bit of tension between us. Is there anything I have done or anything I can do to help?”具体表述。故选B。
28.下文“If you’ve done something to hurt or offend someone and that is the reason for which the person dislikes you, the best course of action is to try to make it right. Clearly say the words, “I’m sorry.” Be sure not to say “I’m sorry you were offended.” or “I’m sorry you felt that way.”or anything else that places the blame on (归咎于) the other person for misunderstanding your intentions.(如果你做了一些伤害或冒犯别人的事情,而这正是那个人不喜欢你的原因,那么最好的做法就是努力纠正它。清楚地说:“对不起。”一定不要说“很抱歉冒犯了你”。或者“我很抱歉你那样想。”或者其他任何将责任归咎于他人误解你的意图的话语)”说明本段主要介绍了道歉和纠正错误。空处为段落小标题,需概括全段内容。所以C项“道歉并纠正错误。”点明段落核心,与后文“say the words, “I’m sorry.” ”以及“make it right”形成原词复现。故选C。
29.上文“Be sure not to say “I’m sorry you were offended.” or “I’m sorry you felt that way.” or anything else that places the blame on the other person for misunderstanding your intentions.(一定不要说“很抱歉冒犯了你”。或者“我很抱歉你那样想。”或者其他任何将责任归咎于他人误解你的意图的话语)”指出道歉时不要把责任归咎于对方,由此推知空处应指出正确的道歉方式,F选项“相反,要谦虚,承认你伤害了别人的事实。”符合语境。故选F。
30.下文“Importantly, you have to choose not to allow the person who dislikes you to influence you or get you down. It is OK to be disliked. Remember that even the most popular and well-loved celebrities are disliked by some people!(重要的是,你必须选择不让不喜欢你的人影响你或让你失望。被人讨厌也没关系。请记住,即使是最受欢迎和最受欢迎的名人也会被一些人不喜欢!)”强调不要被别人的不喜欢所影响。空处和后文为顺接关系,说明不要太在意别人的看法。所以D选项“最终,别人对你的看法并不重要。”符合语境,且“others think about you.”对应后文“the person who dislikes you”。故选D。

Passage 9
(24-25高一下·湖南长沙·期中)
Being around an impatient person can make you feel like walking in a field of landmines(地雷). What’s more, people with little patience often make you lose your own. Since we all encounter impatient people, learning how to react is crucial. 41
●Recognize how today’s fastpaced society increases impatience.
We live in a world in which we expect almost immediate access to most things on demand. The Internet puts so much information at the tips of our fingers. 42 We need time to work, prepare reports and process information.
● 43
Impatience is a sign of being caught up in the future rather than the present moment. Witnessing others’ impatience can remind us to be mindful. It can also remind us that our actions affect others, take others’ impatience as a call to action if needed.
●Strive for empathy.
Empathy means stepping into the other person’s shoes to see how they might view the situation. 44 Sometimes it can be tied to clearly understanding how your part of the task at hand affects others. For example, if your coworkers have to wait for your part of a report to start theirs, it might make sense that they are impatient if they don’t know where the report is.
●Avoid allowing impatience to affect you.
45 Either you only see them on a rare occasion or you know them well enough to know their impatience is temporary and not tied to your actions. If you have a family member who is experiencing external stress, their increased impatience probably isn’t about you. Choosing which battles to fight helps you focus on necessary tasks and end conflicts.
A.Learn from others’ impatience.
B.Anticipate impatience at work.
C.An impatient person can be under stress.
D.This works best for people that fall into two groups.
E.It sometimes makes us forget that people are not machines.
F.Here are some useful strategies to protect us from those effects.
G.Try to think about where the impatience could be coming from.
【答案】41.F 42.E 43.A 44.G 45.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要探讨在快节奏社会中,当我们遇到缺乏耐心的人时应如何应对。文章从认识社会节奏对耐心的影响、从他人不耐烦中学习、努力共情、避免受不耐烦情绪影响等方面给出了具体建议。
41.根据上文“Since we all encounter impatient people, learning how to react is crucial.( 因为我们都遇到过没有耐心的人,学习如何反应是至关重要的。)”提到我们都会遇到没有耐心的人,学习如何应对至关重要,后文则是具体的应对策略,F选项“Here are some useful strategies to protect us from those effects.( 这里有一些有用的策略来保护我们免受这些影响。)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选F项。
42.根据上文“The Internet puts so much information at the tips of our fingers.( 互联网让如此多的信息唾手可得。)”说互联网让我们能快速获取大量信息,以及后文“We need time to work, prepare reports and process information.( 我们需要时间来工作、准备报告和处理信息。)”指出我们需要时间工作、准备报告和处理信息,E选项“It sometimes makes us forget that people are not machines.( 它有时会让我们忘记人不是机器)。”能够很好地衔接上下文,说明互联网带来的便捷容易让我们忽视人不像机器那样能立刻处理所有事情。故选E项。
43.该空是段落小标题,根据后文“Impatience is a sign of being caught up in the future rather than the present moment. Witnessing others’ impatience can remind us to be mindful. It can also remind us that our actions affect others(急躁是被未来而不是现在所困住的标志。目睹别人的不耐烦可以提醒我们要留心。它还可以提醒我们,我们的行为会影响他人。)”可知,此段主要讲从他人的不耐烦中学习,A 选项“Learn from others’ impatience.( 从他人的不耐烦中学习。)”符合段落主旨,适合作为该段的小标题。故选A项。
44.此段小标题是“Strive for empathy.( 努力产生同理心)”G选项“Try to think about where the impatience could be coming from.( 试着想想不耐烦可能从何而来。)”是对产生同理心的具体阐述,即通过思考他人不耐烦的原因来理解他人,符合语境。故选G项。
45.根据后文“Either you only see them on a rare occasion or you know them well enough to know their impatience is temporary and not tied to your actions.( 要么你很少见到他们,要么你很了解他们,知道他们的不耐烦是暂时的,与你的行为无关。)”提到了两种情况,D选项 “This works best for people that fall into two groups.( 这对两类人最有效)。”中的“two groups”与后文的两种情况相呼应,符合文意。故选D项。
Passage 10
(24-25高一下·湖南·期中)
Have you ever heard the saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future”? It’s not wrong — especially when it comes to your health.
Harvard’s study found that strong social connections don’t just make life more enjoyable — they lead to lower rates of chronic disease(慢性病), better mental health,and longer life expectancy(寿命). 46 . It also helps you make lasting changes.
But do you have to leave old friends? What if your family isn’t on board? And how do you even find “your people”? I’ve got your answers — and three highly effective ways to make healthy changes easier.
47 . You don’t have to cut ties with friends just because they don’t share your health goals. But if your usual hangouts make it harder to stay on track, suggest something different — like meeting for coffee instead of drinks or going for a walk instead of dinner out. This keeps your relationships strong without making you feel like you’ re constantly saying no.
Have the hard conversations. If someone questions your choices or pressures you to “just have one”, it’s okay to be direct. Try: “ 48 —even if you don’t want to join me.” Or if they push food or drinks on you, say: “I feel better eating this way. You don’t have to change what you’re doing, but I’d love for you to respect my choices.”
Make it about you, not them. 49 . Instead of saying, “I’m cutting out sugar because it’s bad for you,” try, “I’m testing a lower-sugar diet to see how it affects my energy.” This way, it feels like a personal choice — not a statement about what they should do.
At the same time, finding people who share your health goals can make all the difference. 50
A.Change the setting, not the people.
B.The right community can keep you motivated.
C.This is important to me, and I’d love your support.
D.People are more open when they don’t feel judged.
E.Therefore, you don’t have to feel like you’ re doing it alone.
F.One strategy is to simply limit the amount of time you spend with them.
G.And the more you feel understood by strangers, the easier it is to stick with your goals.
【答案】46.B 47.A 48.C 49.D 50.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了社交关系对健康的影响,并提供了三种有效的方法来帮助人们更容易地做出健康的生活方式改变。
46.根据上文“Harvard’s study found that strong social connections don’t just make life more enjoyable — they lead to lower rates of chronic disease(慢性病), better mental health, and longer life expectancy(寿命).(哈佛大学的研究发现,牢固的社会关系不仅能让生活更愉快,还能降低慢性病的发病率,改善心理健康,延长预期寿命。)”以及下文“It also helps you make lasting changes.(它还能帮助你做出持久的改变。)”可知,上文提到牢固的社会关系的好处,下文提到牢固的社会关系能帮助做出持久的改变,可知本句承接上文继续说明牢固的社会关系的好处。B选项中“community”对应上文“social connections”。故B选项“正确的社区可以让你保持动力”符合语境。故选B。
47.根据下文“You don’t have to cut ties with friends just because they don’t share your health goals. But if your usual hangouts make it harder to stay on track, suggest something different — like meeting for coffee instead of drinks or going for a walk instead of dinner out. This keeps your relationships strong without making you feel like you’ re constantly saying no.(你不必仅仅因为朋友和你没有共同的健康目标就和他们断绝关系。但是,如果你平时的聚会让你更难坚持下去,那就建议一些不同的活动------比如喝咖啡而不是喝酒,或者散步而不是出去吃饭。这能让你们的关系保持牢固,而不会让你觉得自己总是在拒绝。)”可知,下文提到不必因为朋友和自己没有共同的健康目标就和他们断绝关系,而是建议一些不同的活动。故A选项“改变环境,而不是改变人”符合语境,故选A。
48.根据上文“If someone questions your choices or pressures you to “just have one”, it’s okay to be direct.(如果有人质疑你的选择,或者施压让你“就试一次”,直接表达自己的想法也无妨。)”以及下文“even if you don’t want to join me.(即使你不想加入我)”可知,上文提到可以直接说出自己的想法,下文提到即使对方不想加入自己,可知本句是在说明直接说出自己想法的例子且引起让步状语从句。故C选项“这对我很重要,我很想得到你的支持”符合语境,故选C。
49.根据下文“Instead of saying, “I’m cutting out sugar because it’s bad for you,” try, “I’m testing a lower-sugar diet to see how it affects my energy.” This way, it feels like a personal choice — not a statement about what they should do.(与其说“我戒糖是因为这对你有害”,不如试试说“我正在尝试低糖饮食,看看这会如何影响我的精力”。这样一来,这听起来就像是一种个人选择——而不是在评判他们应该怎么做。)”可知,这种表达方式可以避免让人觉得受到了评判,所以选项说明这样做的原因,引起下文,D选项中“judged”对应下文中“bad for you”。故D选项“当人们不觉得被评判时,他们会敞开心扉”符合语境,故选D。
50.根据上文“At the same time, finding people who share your health goals can make all the difference.(与此同时,找到和你一样有健康目标的人会让一切变得不同。)”可知,上文提到找到和自己一样有健康目标的人,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这样做的好处。故E选项“因此,你不必觉得自己是一个人在做这件事”符合语境,故选E。
Passage 11
(24-25高一下·湖南·期中)
Some Winter Activities
Winter activities are underestimated (低估). The days may be shorter, but the list of fun activities isn’t. Don’t let the winter blues take over. 51
Finding your favourite. 52 Nobody likes cardio (有氧运动) for a long time, but signing up for an adult sports team, or taking a yoga class on the weekend can be a fun way to break up the boredom of going to the gym. Recreational (娱乐的) sports are also a great way to meet new people.
Walking on snow. 53 Walking with snowshoes is friendly to beginners, and suitable for kids and seniors alike. You can buy a set for under $100 or rent some for the afternoon. Take a friend or walk alone to enjoy the peacefulness of the outdoors in winter.
Skiing. Those that love it really love it. Hitting the ski hills is an old wintertime tradition. It gets you outside, boosts your mood, and serves as a core workout. You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. 54 If you’re feeling tired of too much indoor time, get your heart pumping at a nearby ski hill.
55 Taking an online class, or picking up an instrument for the first time, can be incredibly rewarding. Expanding your professional skill can do wonders for your future job prospects. It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season.
A.Go to the gym.
B.Learning something.
C.Most ski fields rent gear too.
D.Be active and try these winter activities.

54.前文“You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun. (你不需要最新的装备就能玩得开心。)”讲述了没必要购买最新的装备,空处应说有其他获得装备的方式,C项“大多数滑雪场也租装备。”符合题意。故选C。

It may take a little planning, but consider learning something new this season. (参加在线课程,或者第一次学乐器,都会带来难以置信的回报。扩展你的专业技能可以为你未来的工作前景创造奇迹。这可能需要一些规划,但可以考虑在这个季节学习一些新的东西。)”可知,本段主要是讲述学习新东西的好处,所以B项“学一些东西。”符合题意。故选B。
