专题08 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南衡阳·期中） Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, influencing everything from daily tasks to complex decision-making processes. However, with its rapid development, it is crucial to approach AI with a balanced perspective, recognizing both its potential and its challenges. AI should be seen as a powerful tool designed to assist and enhance human capabilities, rather than replace them. 1 , but it lacks the creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment that humans possess. For example, while AI can generate music, it cannot replicate the emotional depth and originality of human compositions. 2 . In healthcare, AI can assist in early disease diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, significantly improving patient outcomes. In education, AI can provide personalized learning experiences, helping students learn at their own pace and in their own style. It can also automate administrative tasks, freeing up time for teachers to focus on teaching. Additionally, AI can tackle dangerous or monotonous tasks, such as disaster response or repetitive manufacturing jobs enhancing safety and efficiency. 3 . One major concern is the potential for job displacement, particularly in sectors where tasks are highly repetitive or data-driven. Besides, AI systems can continue errors present in their training data, leading to unfair results. 4 , as AI systems often require large amounts of personal data to function effectively. Ensuring data security and protecting individual privacy are critical challenges that need to be addressed. To maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks, a strong ethical framework and regulatory environment are essential. Governments and organizations should establish clear guidelines and regulations to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly. 5 . A．Privacy issues are another significant concern B．AI has the potential to change various sectors C．AI is the product of technological development D．It is essential to use AI with a clear understanding E．It performs well in processing data and repetitive tasks F．While AI offers great benefits, it also presents significant risks G．This involves promoting data diversity and protecting users’ privacy Passage 2 （24-25高二下·湖南郴州·期中） Mental health is a fundamental component of overall wellbeing, including emotional, psychological, and social aspects of life. 6 And it influences their ability to cope with stress, relate to others, and make decisions. Good mental health is characterized by a sense of well-being, self-acceptance, and the ability to manage the challenges of life effectively. It allows individuals to form positive relationships, adapt to changes, and pursue their goals. 7 They can cause significant distress and disrupt daily functioning. The causes of mental health disorders are varied. These disorders can result from a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Painful life events and long-term stress are risk factors. 8 9 These include promoting awareness, and increasing access to affordable and culturally competent mental health services. Schools, workplaces, and communities can play a vital role. Governments, organizations, and advocacy groups have increasingly prioritized mental health initiatives. Research and innovation are essential for advancing our understanding of mental health and developing effective interventions. In conclusion, mental health is a critical aspect of overall wellbeing that affects individuals, families, and communities. 10 We should promote mental health, prevent mental health disorders, and ensure access to quality mental health care, so we can build a society that values mental health, ultimately improving the quality of life for all. A．It’s time to give it the attention it deserves. B．It affects how individuals think, feel, and behave. C．Individuals should take responsibility for their mental health. D．However, mental health disorders can disrupt these processes. E．Addressing these disorders requires comprehensive strategies. F．But many people still ignore the importance of physical health. G．Besides, social isolation can contribute to mental health problems. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·湖南岳阳·期中） 4 signs your body is begging for a break If the smoke alarm in your house is beeping, you’ll spring into action. Yet we’re not so fast to react to the alarm bells ringing in our own bodies, letting us know we need to slow down. “A series of changes happen in the body when the stress response is activated in a sustained way,” says Jennifer King, assistant director of the Center on Trauma and Adversity at Case Western Reserve University. 11 . Here are the signs to watch out for.Emotional changes If you need a break, you might feel more anxious, more depressed, or more overwhelmed than usual. Your thoughts might start wandering. And you’ll likely “feel like you can’t remember things,” says Dr. Gerda Maissel, a physician and patient advocate. Stress can also prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved. 12 It’s a hint that something is off.Tense relationship “You might notice you’re feeling a little more emotional and bad-tempered” King says. “If you’re finding that you want to isolate a little more, and keep to yourself — if that’s something you weren’t already doing — that can be because of stress.” 13 . Often, other people are the first to notice warning signs. 14 Stress can weaken the immune system, causing you to get sick more frequently. You might notice you have a cough, a fever or a running nose more often than before.Stomach and sleep issues You may also experience digestive difficulties as well as appetite changes that cause you to gain or lose weight. 15 If you realize your body is pushing you toward a break, try claiming just a few minutes of calm with something pleasurable or fun. Taking a brief rest, “allows your body to metabolize some of what you’ve been taking in”, she says, “and to feel ready for whatever is coming next.” A．Frequent colds B．Physical weaknesses C．You are not fond of anything shared by your friends D．You dislike opening a book you’ve been looking forward to E．Feeling more tired than usual is pretty likely a cue you need more rest F．If a familiar one cares about your mood, try not to get defensive or ignore it G．Over time, that can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and weight gain Passage 4 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Overseas Safety: How to Protect Yourself When Travelling With travel becoming popular worldwide, more people are eager to explore overseas destinations. Yet falling ill, being cheated or robbed can quickly turn a dream trip into a nightmare, so prioritizing safety is essential for any traveller. 16 Here are four key tips to help you stay safe and enjoy your journey abroad. ●Manage your money wisely. Avoid carrying large sums of cash; if you must bring some, lock most of it in your hotel safe. 17 They limit financial loss if stolen, help you avoid extra currency exchange fees, and let you lock in exchange rates before your trip, making money management more convenient. ● 18 Travel insurance acts as a safety net for various unexpected travel problems. It covers costly medical fees abroad, trip cancellations, delays and lost belongings, saving you from unexpected financial trouble. Best of all, most travel insurance plans are surprisingly affordable, making it much easier to protect yourself overseas. ●Keep digital copies of important documents. Store digital scans of your passport, visa, travel insurance and tickets in the cloud. If you lose the physical copies, you can quickly provide proof of identity and travel details to embassy staff. 19 ●Contact friends and family regularly. No matter how long or short your trip, it is always a good idea to stay connected with loved ones. Share your travel plan, update them on any change, and check in with them daily. 20 And this simple connection eases their worries and keeps your heart at peace all through your trip. A．Never skip travel insurance. B．Learn how to solve unexpected issues. C．Prepaid travel cards are a smarter choice. D．This way, they can offer timely help if an emergency occurs. E．You can ask locals for advice on safe areas to visit during your stay. F．Thankfully, there are practical ways to guard against these travel dangers. G．These digital backups are a lifesaver when original documents go missing. Passage 5 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Everyone sends texts. It’s simple — one message goes out, and another comes back. 21 They smile, wink (眨眼) and cry. Without much notice, emojis (表情符号) change how messages feel. Researchers often ignore these tiny images. But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look. 22 Think about your last text. Did it have an emoji? Most likely it did. Nearly everyone uses them. But emojis aren’t just decorations. They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words. 23 The researchers looked at this effect closely. Their analysis showed something surprising. People feel more connected to those who use emojis. It’s not about picking the right emoji. The magic lies in using them at all. Why do emojis work so well? They make conversations feel softer and friendlier. They can help to reduce misunderstandings since tone gets difficult to express over text. They also act like little touches of warmth. 24 Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care. 25 This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test. The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures. What works in one place might not in another. And there’s one more question waiting. What happens when emojis conflict with words? Like a smiley face paired with sad news. Future studies might explore those mixed signals. A．Somewhere in between, emojis appear. B．That sense of being heard led to stronger friendships. C．Every study has limitations and this one is no exception. D．They called them more responsive and the chats felt warmer. E．A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message. F．They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations. G．Her study examined emojis’ role in improving relationship closeness. Passage 6 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” 26 Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? 27 When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. 28 You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. 29 The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. 30 By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. A．And the opposite of that is also true. B．It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. C．Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change. D．Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change. E．It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. F．Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. G．Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. Passage 7 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Breaking the Cycle of Anxious Overthinking Have you ever been trapped in a cycle of anxious thoughts? You might imagine the worst, doubt your choices, or think over every little thing. This mental loop (循环) is tiring and often makes things worse instead of solving them. But what if the best way to stop isn’t about changing your thoughts at all? Surprisingly, one simple but effective method is to shift your focus from your mind to your body. 31 Instead of fighting with your anxious thoughts, paying attention to physical movement, breath, or things you can feel can break the worry loop when thinking alone can’t. Here’s why this works. When we overthink, we get stuck in the brain’s usual pattern, which keeps us trapped in cycles about the past and future. Yet, instead of solving problems, this pattern only keeps anxiety alive. 32 Engaging the body interrupts this cycle by activating the brain’s present- focused networks. which brings immediate relief. Let’s look at two examples. Ethan, a graphic designer, often lay awake at night replaying talks with his boss. One night, he got up and did some stretching, paying attention to his muscles and breath. 33 Similarly, Lena, a student, felt anxious after meeting friends. After one difficult day, she went for a run, focusing on her footsteps and the air on her skin. After running, she felt her anxious thoughts lose their power. 34 Here are some practical steps: First, move your body. Take a walk, stretch, or dance — anything that turns your attention to physical feelings. Second, use your senses. Feel your feet on the ground, notice different materials, or listen closely to music. Third, breathe with care. Try box breathing: breathe in for four seconds, hold for four, breathe out for four, and hold again for four. Additionally, you can use temperature changes, like holding an ice cube or washing your face with cold water, to ground yourself instantly. Remember, the next time worry pulls you into overthinking, don’t try to think harder — move your body instead. 35 A．In minutes, his worry became less strong. B．Your body can be a powerful tool to quiet your busy mind. C．How can you put this into practice when overthinking starts? D．The key is to learn to observe your thoughts without judgment. E．This physical shift can free you from the prison of your thoughts. F．However, many people try to solve it by analyzing these thoughts. G．However, physical activity redirects the brain from overthinking to the present moment. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 8 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） The first response in any emergency is to provide the necessary first aid for the injured person while waiting for emergency medical services. First aid is used to help preserve the lives of victims in specific health emergencies. If left unattended, the victim could lose his/ her life. 36 . For cuts and bleeding, the first step is to apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage. 37 . If the bleeding is heavy, use a tight bandage only if nothing else works. And it should be applied with caution (谨慎) due to the risk of tissue damage. If someone is unable to speak, cough, or breathe, immediate action is essential. For a conscious person, perform the Heimlich maneuver by standing behind him/her, placing your fist just above his/ her stomach, and delivering quick, upward push- ups until the object is forced out. 38 ; CPR is required for unconscious choking victims. 39 — Rest, Ice, Compression (压迫) , and Elevation. After resting the injured area and applying ice to reduce swelling, it’s important to provide additional support. Wrap the injured area with a bandage and keep it elevated. 40 . However, you wouldn’t be able to help the victim without the necessary skills. To be prepared for various emergencies and assist individuals with injuries or health crises, it’s essential to enroll in first aid and CPR certification courses. A．In case of sprains, use the RICE method B．Everyone should learn some basic first aid skills C．You should first clean the wound with warm water D．This can promote clotting (凝血) and stop the bleeding E．Note that the Heimlich maneuver is only for conscious individuals F．Different types of injuries and health emergencies require distinct first aid procedures G．Whenever a loved one becomes a victim of these emergencies, you will do everything to save his/her life Passage 9 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Developing a sense of gratitude isn’t complex or challenging. 41 And the more you practice it, the better you’ll become at putting yourself into a grateful state of mind. Here are some tips on how to do this: ·Observe the moment. Take a second to focus on your experience and how you are feeling. Meanwhile, think about the things you appreciate. 42   Are there particular things helping you manage your stress, feel good about your life, or accomplish what you need to do? You may also find the practice of mindfulness, which focuses on becoming more aware of the present moment, a helpful tool. ·Write it down. 43   Starting a gratitude journal might be helpful. Write down a few things you’re thankful for each day in the journal. Being able to look back on these observations can help a lot when you are in a hard time. ·Enjoy the moment. Give yourself time to really enjoy the moment. Focus on the experience and allow yourself to absorb those good feelings. Concentrate on the senses and feelings you’re experiencing in a given moment. 44 ·Give thanks. Gratitude is all about recognizing and appreciating those people, things, moments, skills, or gifts that bring joy, peace, or comfort into our lives. 45 You might write a thank-you note to a person to show your thankfulness, or you might spend a moment simply mentally appreciating what you have. Expressing your appreciation for others is an important component that can affect your interpersonal relationships. A．Show your appreciation to them. B．How often do you experience gratitude? C．It doesn’t require any special tools or training. D．Are there people who have done something for you? E．Gratitude can transform people’s lives for several reasons. F．Sometimes you may find you are struggling to feel grateful. G．Make an assessment of your senses and think about what helps. Passage 10 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） About a year ago, our dishwasher broke down. We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced. 46 So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner. To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior. 47 Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time. I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world. So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed. I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks. 48 For about 15 minutes every day, I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world. As my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success, I found peace. Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually, I continued to wash dishes by hand. This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined. 49 From my kitchen window, I watched the seasons change: the tomato plant grew in summer, gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter. Then new green was showing in spring. I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself. Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward, not praise or a prize. I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines. 50 A．It definitely allowed me to recover. B．Now I can enjoy whatever task I’m doing. C．I was running around stressed most of the day. D．It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive. E．But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration. F．I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts. G．Washing dishes, though, caused an admirable transformation in me. Passage 11 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 51 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 52 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 53 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 54 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 55 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A．But I didn’t stop there. B．For me, it was a firm no. C．That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D．I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E．It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F．This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G．Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. Passage 12 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Knowing another language opens doors for kids and adults alike. But most educators agree that childhood is the ideal time for language learning. If you want your children to be bilingual (双语的), here is where to start. You should be flexible and use the method working best for your family. Some families favor “one parent, one language”. Some take on the task of learning a second language alongside their children. 56 Depending on your home situation, this can require a lot of planning, effort and persistence (坚持) on your part. You’d better use all of the resources at hand. While having back-and-forth conversations with native speakers is the most effective, there are lots of other ways. 57 Watching a favorite show or reading an interesting book in the non-dominant (非主导的) language can make learning enjoyable. You may also find classes and schools that teach in the language you want your children to learn. 58 Travel is one way to engage your kid in everyday situations that are meaningful and real. Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child’s interest in and understanding of the language. But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions. 59 For example, your son can use Spanish when playing with his Spanish-speaking cousins. While you can always change the language learning plan if the path you’re on isn’t working, you shouldn’t get too discouraged when things aren’t happening as quickly as you might expect. 60 Language learning is a progressive and long-lasting process, and breakthroughs may come in unexpected ways and at different times for each individual. A．Know there’s a lot happening under the surface. B．Provide authentic opportunities for speaking practice. C．Individuals have different levels of fluency in each language. D．Introduce TV programs, songs and books in both languages to children. E．And others use a mix of strategies to expose their kids to both languages. F．Books can be used in a way that is developmentally appropriate for children. G．As a matter of fact, they can take place with relatives speaking the language. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题08 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （24-25高二下·湖南衡阳·期中） Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, influencing everything from daily tasks to complex decision-making processes.

Yet we’re not so fast to react to the alarm bells ringing in our own bodies, letting us know we need to slow down. “A series of changes happen in the body when the stress response is activated in a sustained way,” says Jennifer King, assistant director of the Center on Trauma and Adversity at Case Western Reserve University. 11 . Here are the signs to watch out for.Emotional changes If you need a break, you might feel more anxious, more depressed, or more overwhelmed than usual. Your thoughts might start wandering. And you’ll likely “feel like you can’t remember things,” says Dr. Gerda Maissel, a physician and patient advocate. Stress can also prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved. 12 It’s a hint that something is off.Tense relationship “You might notice you’re feeling a little more emotional and bad-tempered” King says. “If you’re finding that you want to isolate a little more, and keep to yourself — if that’s something you weren’t already doing — that can be because of stress.” 13 . Often, other people are the first to notice warning signs. 14 Stress can weaken the immune system, causing you to get sick more frequently. You might notice you have a cough, a fever or a running nose more often than before.Stomach and sleep issues You may also experience digestive difficulties as well as appetite changes that cause you to gain or lose weight. 15 If you realize your body is pushing you toward a break, try claiming just a few minutes of calm with something pleasurable or fun. Taking a brief rest, “allows your body to metabolize some of what you’ve been taking in”, she says, “and to feel ready for whatever is coming next.” A．Frequent colds B．Physical weaknesses C．You are not fond of anything shared by your friends D．You dislike opening a book you’ve been looking forward to E．Feeling more tired than usual is pretty likely a cue you need more rest F．If a familiar one cares about your mood, try not to get defensive or ignore it G．Over time, that can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and weight gain 【答案】11．G 12．D 13．F 14．A 15．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了身体需要休息的四个迹象，包括情绪变化、人际关系紧张、频繁感冒、肠胃和睡眠问题，还建议适时休息让身体恢复。 11．上文“A series of changes happen in the body when the stress response is activated in a sustained way (当应激反应持续被激活时，身体会发生一系列变化)”提到应激反应持续激活时身体会有变化。G选项“Over time, that can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and weight gain (随着时间的推移，这会导致高血压、心脏病和体重增加)”进一步说明持续应激反应带来的后果，“that”指代上文提到的情况，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 12．上文“Stress can also prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved.

It’s simple — one message goes out, and another comes back. 21 They smile, wink (眨眼) and cry. Without much notice, emojis (表情符号) change how messages feel. Researchers often ignore these tiny images. But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look. 22 Think about your last text. Did it have an emoji? Most likely it did. Nearly everyone uses them. But emojis aren’t just decorations. They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words. 23 The researchers looked at this effect closely. Their analysis showed something surprising. People feel more connected to those who use emojis. It’s not about picking the right emoji. The magic lies in using them at all. Why do emojis work so well? They make conversations feel softer and friendlier. They can help to reduce misunderstandings since tone gets difficult to express over text. They also act like little touches of warmth. 24 Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care. 25 This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test. The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures. What works in one place might not in another. And there’s one more question waiting. What happens when emojis conflict with words? Like a smiley face paired with sad news. Future studies might explore those mixed signals. A．Somewhere in between, emojis appear. B．That sense of being heard led to stronger friendships. C．Every study has limitations and this one is no exception. D．They called them more responsive and the chats felt warmer. E．A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message. F．They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations. G．Her study examined emojis’ role in improving relationship closeness. 【答案】21．A 22．G 23．E 24．F 25．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了表情符号在信息交流中的作用、相关研究成果以及该研究存在的局限性。 21．由上文“one message goes out, and another comes back.(一条信息发出，另一条信息回复)”以及下文“They smile, wink and cry.(它们会微笑、眨眼和哭泣)”可知，本空要说在信息收发之间出现了表情符号，A选项“Somewhere in between, emojis appear.(在这一来一回之间，表情符号出现了)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“in between”指代上文的“one message goes out, and another comes back”，且该选项中的“emojis appear”与下文的“They smile, wink and cry”相呼应，表示表情符号的出现及其表现力。故选A。 22．由上文“But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look.(但是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的Eun Huh和她的团队决定进一步研究)”可知，本空要说这项研究的内容，G选项“Her study examined emojis’ role in improving relationship closeness.(她的研究探究了表情符号在提升关系亲密度方面的作用)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“Her study”指代上文的“her team decided to take a closer look”，介绍了研究的主题。故选G。 23．由上文“They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words.(它们就像微小的情绪信号，给平淡的文字赋予生机)”可知，本空要举例说明表情符号对文字语气的改变，E选项“A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message.(一个简单的心形符号就能彻底改变一条信息的语气)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项是对上文表情符号作用的具体举例，与上文的“emotion”和“plain words”相呼应。故选E。 24．由上文“They also act like little touches of warmth.(它们也能传递一丝丝温暖)”以及下文“Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care.(最重要的是，它们能做到文字有时做不到的事：表明你在乎。)”可知，本空应继续阐述表情符号带来的积极人际影响，与上文的“温暖”和下文的“在乎”形成递进。 F选项“They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations.(即使在匆忙的对话中，它们也能吸引注意力并体现用心)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项与上文的“warmth”并列，进一步说明表情符号在交流中的积极效果，同时选项中“show effort(体现用心)”能更直接地与下文“show that you care(表明你在乎)”形成紧密的语义衔接。故选F。 25．由下文“This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test.(这项研究聚焦于假想情境，测试期间人们并不是和真正的朋友发信息)”和“The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures.(研究人员建议接下来测试实时聊天。专家指出，这项研究的参与者大多是美国人。表情符号的含义可能因文化而异。)”可知，下文都在讨论该研究的不足之处或未来方向，因此本空应作为段落主题句，点明该研究存在局限。C选项“Every study has limitations and this one is no exception.(每项研究都有局限性，这项研究也不例外。)”能够统领下文所有关于研究局限性的具体描述，符合题意。故选C。 Passage 6 （24-25高二下·湖南长沙·期中） Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” 26 Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? 27 When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. 28 You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. 29 The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. 30 By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. A．And the opposite of that is also true. B．It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. C．Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change. D．Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change. E．It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. F．Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. G．Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. 【答案】26．F 27．B 28．E 29．A 30．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们在面对改变时常见的矛盾心理(ambivalence)，分析了误解这一心理可能带来的问题，并介绍了动机性访谈这一方法，强调理解矛盾心理的根源有助于更有效地应对改变。 26．上文“For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” (例如，你一定说过，“我应该开始锻炼，但很难抽出时间。”)”举例说明了矛盾心理的具体表现——想做某事却又觉得有困难。F选项“Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. (在行为改变方面，这种内心的摇摆是常见的)”承接上文，用“Such internal swinging”指代上文举例的“想锻炼却嫌没时间”这种矛盾心态，指出其普遍性。下文“Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? (然而，我们有多常把矛盾心理视为某种干涉者，一条通往更好生活道路上不受欢迎、意想不到的障碍呢？)”则以反问语气指出人们常将这种普遍存在的矛盾心理看作需要排除的障碍，引出下文要讨论的话题。故选F项。 27．下文“When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” (当我们对不确定性缺乏理解时，我们有效解决它的能力就会受限。此外，如果没有清楚理解背后的原因，我们就有可能使用有害的标签，这些标签可能很便利却不准确地解释了我们或他人不作为的原因。 “我肯定是懒。” “她没有自律能力。”)”阐述了误解矛盾心理会带来的后果——无法有效解决、贴有害标签。B选项“It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. (如果我们误解矛盾心理，就会有问题)”作为本段首句，用“problematic”概括了下文所描述的种种问题，起到总领全段的作用。下文内容则具体阐释了“problematic”的表现——能力受限、使用有害标签，形成“观点—具体阐述”的逻辑关系。故选B项。 28．上文“A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. (一个有助于我们更好理解犹豫不决根源的观点，来自一种名为动机性访谈的基于研究的治疗方法)”介绍了动机性访谈这一方法。E选项“It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. (它已被成功应用于许多行为改变的案例中)”承接上文，用“It”指代上文的“motivational interviewing”，补充说明了该方法的应用成果——在行为改变案例中成功应用。下文“You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. (你也可以通过这种方法产生影响，无论你是决定少吃垃圾食品、减肥，还是减少屏幕时间)”则在此基础上鼓励读者将其应用于自身生活，符合逻辑。故选E项。 29．上文“From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. (从动机性访谈的角度来看，矛盾心理的根源与改变的重要性和信心程度有关。如果我们不强烈感到改变是重要的，或者我们缺乏采取必要步骤的信心，那么我们很可能会在前进中动摇)”阐述了矛盾心理的根源——缺乏重要性认知或缺乏信心会导致动摇。A选项“And the opposite of that is also true. (相反的情况也同样成立)”承接上文，指出如果对改变既感到重要又有信心，则不会动摇，从而与上文形成正反两方面的完整论述。故选A项。 30．上文“The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. (面对改变时矛盾心理的普遍存在是人类生活中常见的。这对我们如此，对他人也是如此，包括我们的家人、朋友，以及我们在职业生活中遇到和服务的人)”指出矛盾心理在人际间的普遍性。G选项“Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. (承认这一事实对于克服有害的判断和标签至关重要)”承接上文，用“this fact”指代上文的“矛盾心理普遍存在”这一事实，指出承认这一事实的重要性——有助于克服第二段提到的“有害标签”。下文“By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. (通过这样做，我们可以更清晰地看到并巧妙地解决矛盾心理的根源)”则进一步说明承认事实所带来的积极结果，符合逻辑。故选G项。 Passage 7 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Breaking the Cycle of Anxious Overthinking Have you ever been trapped in a cycle of anxious thoughts? You might imagine the worst, doubt your choices, or think over every little thing. This mental loop (循环) is tiring and often makes things worse instead of solving them. But what if the best way to stop isn’t about changing your thoughts at all? Surprisingly, one simple but effective method is to shift your focus from your mind to your body. 31 Instead of fighting with your anxious thoughts, paying attention to physical movement, breath, or things you can feel can break the worry loop when thinking alone can’t. Here’s why this works. When we overthink, we get stuck in the brain’s usual pattern, which keeps us trapped in cycles about the past and future. Yet, instead of solving problems, this pattern only keeps anxiety alive. 32 Engaging the body interrupts this cycle by activating the brain’s present- focused networks. which brings immediate relief. Let’s look at two examples. Ethan, a graphic designer, often lay awake at night replaying talks with his boss. One night, he got up and did some stretching, paying attention to his muscles and breath. 33 Similarly, Lena, a student, felt anxious after meeting friends. After one difficult day, she went for a run, focusing on her footsteps and the air on her skin. After running, she felt her anxious thoughts lose their power. 34 Here are some practical steps: First, move your body. Take a walk, stretch, or dance — anything that turns your attention to physical feelings. Second, use your senses. Feel your feet on the ground, notice different materials, or listen closely to music. Third, breathe with care. Try box breathing: breathe in for four seconds, hold for four, breathe out for four, and hold again for four. Additionally, you can use temperature changes, like holding an ice cube or washing your face with cold water, to ground yourself instantly. Remember, the next time worry pulls you into overthinking, don’t try to think harder — move your body instead. 35 A．In minutes, his worry became less strong. B．Your body can be a powerful tool to quiet your busy mind. C．How can you put this into practice when overthinking starts? D．The key is to learn to observe your thoughts without judgment. E．This physical shift can free you from the prison of your thoughts. F．However, many people try to solve it by analyzing these thoughts. G．However, physical activity redirects the brain from overthinking to the present moment. 【答案】31．E 32．G 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了打破焦虑性反复思考的方法，即通过将注意力从思维转移到身体上来实现，并给出了具体实践步骤。 31．上文“Surprisingly, one simple but effective method is to shift your focus from your mind to your body. (令人惊讶的是，一个简单而有效的方法是将你的注意力从你的思维转移到你的身体上。)”提出了一个打破焦虑性反复思考的方法，即将注意力从思维转移到身体上。E项“这种身体上的转变可以让你从思维的牢笼中解脱出来。”承接上文，进一步解释了这种身体转变的作用，即让人从思维的束缚中解脱出来，符合语境。故选E。 32．上文“Yet, instead of solving problems, this pattern only keeps anxiety alive. (然而，这种模式非但没有解决问题，反而让焦虑持续存在。)”指出了过度思考的弊端，即让焦虑持续存在。G项“然而，身体活动将大脑从过度思考重新导向当下时刻。”与上文形成转折，提出了身体活动的作用，即重新导向当下，符合语境。故选G。 33．上文“One night, he got up and did some stretching, paying attention to his muscles and breath. (一天晚上，他起床做了一些伸展运动，注意他的肌肉和呼吸。)”描述了Ethan通过做伸展运动来转移注意力。A项“几分钟后，他的担忧变得不那么强烈了。”承接上文，说明了这种做法的效果，即担忧减轻了，符合语境。故选A。 34．下文“Here are some practical steps (以下是一些实用的步骤)”给出了具体的实践步骤。C项“当过度思考开始时，你如何将其付诸实践？”引出下文，询问如何将上述方法付诸实践，符合语境。故选C。 35．上文“Remember, the next time worry pulls you into overthinking, don’t try to think harder — move your body instead. (记住，下次担忧让你陷入过度思考时，不要试图更努力地思考——而是要动起来。)”再次强调了身体活动的重要性。B项“你的身体可以成为让你忙碌的头脑安静下来的强大工具。”总结全文，强调了身体作为让头脑安静下来的工具的作用，符合语境。故选B。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 8 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） The first response in any emergency is to provide the necessary first aid for the injured person while waiting for emergency medical services. First aid is used to help preserve the lives of victims in specific health emergencies. If left unattended, the victim could lose his/ her life. 36 . For cuts and bleeding, the first step is to apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage. 37 . If the bleeding is heavy, use a tight bandage only if nothing else works. And it should be applied with caution (谨慎) due to the risk of tissue damage. If someone is unable to speak, cough, or breathe, immediate action is essential. For a conscious person, perform the Heimlich maneuver by standing behind him/her, placing your fist just above his/ her stomach, and delivering quick, upward push- ups until the object is forced out. 38 ; CPR is required for unconscious choking victims. 39 — Rest, Ice, Compression (压迫) , and Elevation.

You may also find the practice of mindfulness, which focuses on becoming more aware of the present moment, a helpful tool. ·Write it down. 43   Starting a gratitude journal might be helpful. Write down a few things you’re thankful for each day in the journal. Being able to look back on these observations can help a lot when you are in a hard time. ·Enjoy the moment. Give yourself time to really enjoy the moment. Focus on the experience and allow yourself to absorb those good feelings. Concentrate on the senses and feelings you’re experiencing in a given moment. 44 ·Give thanks. Gratitude is all about recognizing and appreciating those people, things, moments, skills, or gifts that bring joy, peace, or comfort into our lives. 45 You might write a thank-you note to a person to show your thankfulness, or you might spend a moment simply mentally appreciating what you have. Expressing your appreciation for others is an important component that can affect your interpersonal relationships. A．Show your appreciation to them. B．How often do you experience gratitude? C．It doesn’t require any special tools or training. D．Are there people who have done something for you? E．Gratitude can transform people’s lives for several reasons. F．Sometimes you may find you are struggling to feel grateful.

We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced. 46 So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner. To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior. 47 Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time. I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world. So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed. I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks. 48 For about 15 minutes every day, I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world. As my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success, I found peace. Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually, I continued to wash dishes by hand. This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined. 49 From my kitchen window, I watched the seasons change: the tomato plant grew in summer, gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter. Then new green was showing in spring. I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself. Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward, not praise or a prize. I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines. 50 A．It definitely allowed me to recover. B．Now I can enjoy whatever task I’m doing. C．I was running around stressed most of the day. D．It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive. E．But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration. F．I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts. G．Washing dishes, though, caused an admirable transformation in me. 【答案】46．D 47．C 48．G 49．A 50．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因洗碗机故障洗碗，从中获得成长的经历。 46．上文“We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced.(我们打电话给修理工，被告知洗碗机必须更换)”说明洗碗机无法修理，需要更换。空后“So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner.(所以我妈妈让我晚饭后手洗碗)”说明暂时无法使用新洗碗机，需要手动洗碗。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明新洗碗机无法立即到位。选项D“It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive.(我们订购的型号花了一段时间才到)”的“took a while to arrive”解释了为什么需要手动洗碗，与后文内容相呼应，符合语境。故选D。 47．上文“To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior.(要理解为什么这让我如此沮丧，你需要知道我作为大四学生的生活是什么样的)”说明下文将介绍作者大四的生活状态。空后“Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time.(家庭作业、项目和考试都在争夺我的注意力和时间)”描述了作者忙碌的状态。空处承接前文，具体说明作者的生活状态。选项C“I was running around stressed most of the day.(我大部分时间都在紧张地忙碌)”具体体现了作者大四的忙碌与压力，与后文的任务繁重相呼应，符合语境。故选C。 48．上文“So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed.

We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 51 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 52 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 53 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 54 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 55 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A．But I didn’t stop there. B．For me, it was a firm no. C．That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D．I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E．It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F．This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G．Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. 【答案】51．F 52．B 53．E 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一个具体的例子，探讨了如何在孩子提出不合理要求时，既不伤害感情又教会他们重要的人生课程。 51．上文提到“Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. (育儿是一场持续的平衡行为。我们希望教育孩子重要的生活课程，同时保持家庭的和谐，避免不必要的冲突)”，接下来需要一个与这种平衡相关的句子。F项“This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. (这种平衡行为可能很棘手，尤其是在养育青少年时)”与上文相呼应，进一步说明了这种平衡的难度，故选F。 52．上文提到“Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. (最近，我的13岁女儿让我给她买一个28美元的手机壳。她的旧手机壳并没有坏，也没有磨损，她只是厌倦了它)”，接下来需要一个与作者决定相关的句子。B项“For me, it was a firm no. (对我来说，答案是坚决的“不”)”与上文相呼应，说明了作者的决定，故选B。 53．上文提到“it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. (这是关于她对新奇、时尚和令人兴奋的东西的渴望)”，接下来需要一个与孩子感受相关的句子。E项“It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. (对她来说，这很重要，即使在我看来这似乎没有必要)”与上文相呼应，it指代的就是上文中的desire，故选E。 54．上文提到“I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. (我解释说，我们必须优先考虑什么是必需的，而不是冲动消费)”，接下来需要一个与作者进一步行动相关的句子。A项“But I didn’t stop there. (但我并没有就此止步)”与上文相呼应，引出下文作者的进一步行动，故选A。 55．下文提到“It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. (这是关于引导我的女儿做出更好的决策，同时不损害我们的关系)”，这里的it一定有所指代。C项“That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. (那次对话不仅仅是一个手机壳的问题)”与下文相呼应，下文的it指的就是that conversation，故选C。 Passage 12 （24-25高二下·湖南·期中） Knowing another language opens doors for kids and adults alike. But most educators agree that childhood is the ideal time for language learning. If you want your children to be bilingual (双语的), here is where to start. You should be flexible and use the method working best for your family. Some families favor “one parent, one language”. Some take on the task of learning a second language alongside their children. 56 Depending on your home situation, this can require a lot of planning, effort and persistence (坚持) on your part. You’d better use all of the resources at hand. While having back-and-forth conversations with native speakers is the most effective, there are lots of other ways. 57 Watching a favorite show or reading an interesting book in the non-dominant (非主导的) language can make learning enjoyable. You may also find classes and schools that teach in the language you want your children to learn. 58 Travel is one way to engage your kid in everyday situations that are meaningful and real. Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child’s interest in and understanding of the language. But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions. 59 For example, your son can use Spanish when playing with his Spanish-speaking cousins. While you can always change the language learning plan if the path you’re on isn’t working, you shouldn’t get too discouraged when things aren’t happening as quickly as you might expect. 60 Language learning is a progressive and long-lasting process, and breakthroughs may come in unexpected ways and at different times for each individual. A．Know there’s a lot happening under the surface. B．Provide authentic opportunities for speaking practice. C．Individuals have different levels of fluency in each language. D．Introduce TV programs, songs and books in both languages to children. E．And others use a mix of strategies to expose their kids to both languages. F．Books can be used in a way that is developmentally appropriate for children. G．As a matter of fact, they can take place with relatives speaking the language. 【答案】56．E 57．D 58．B 59．G 60．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助孩子学习双语的技巧和建议。 56．根据上文“Some take on the task of learning a second language alongside their children.(一些家庭承担起和孩子一起学习第二语言的任务)”可知，上文提到了一些家庭的做法，可知空处内容应还是在介绍家庭所选用的学习方法，故E选项“而另一些家庭采用多种策略让孩子接触两种语言”符合语境，故选E。 57．根据上文“You’d better use all of the resources at hand. While having back-and-forth conversations with native speakers is the most effective, there are lots of other ways.(你最好利用手边所有的资源。虽然与母语人士进行来回对话是最有效的，但还有很多其他方法)”以及后文“Watching a favorite show or reading an interesting book in the non-dominant (非主导的) language can make learning enjoyable. You may also find classes and schools that teach in the language you want your children to learn.(看一个喜欢的节目或读一本有趣的非主流语言的书可以使学习变得愉快。你也可以找到用你希望孩子学习的语言授课的课程和学校)”可知，本段讲的是要利用身边一切可用的资源。空前提到虽然与母语使用者进行互动交流是最有效的，但还有很多其他方法。空后提到看一个喜欢的非主导语言的节目或读一本有趣的非主导语言的书可以使学习变得愉快。由此可知，空处应该说明这些其他方法的具体内容，且涉及节目和图书。故D选项“向孩子们介绍两种语言的电视节目、歌曲和书籍”符合语境，故选D。 58．根据后文“Travel is one way to engage your kid in everyday situations that are meaningful and real. Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child’s interest in and understanding of the language. But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions.(旅行是让你的孩子参与到有意义和真实的日常生活中的一种方式。在真实的语境中接触语言可以极大地提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。但在国外的时间并不是真正互动的必要条件)”可知，空后提到旅行是让你的孩子接触有意义和真实的日常情境的一种方式，在真实的语境中接触语言可以显著提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。由此可知，空处内容应涉及为孩子提供真实的语言练习机会或环境。故B选项“提供真实的口语练习机会”符合语境，故选B。 59．根据上文“Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child’s interest in and understanding of the language. But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions.(在真实的语境中接触语言可以极大地提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。但在国外的时间并不是真正互动的必要条件)”以及后文“For example, your son can use Spanish when playing with his Spanish-speaking cousins.(例如，你的儿子可以在和说西班牙语的表亲玩耍时使用西班牙语)”可知，空前提到旅行是让孩子接触真实语言环境的一种方式，但是出国旅行并不是必须的。空后是一个例子，说的是你的孩子在和说西班牙语的表亲玩的时候可以用西班牙语。由此可知，空处应该介绍其他可以提供真实语言互动的方式或情境。故G选项“事实上，他们可以和说这种语言的亲戚一起进行”符合语境，故选G。 60．根据上文“While you can always change the language learning plan if the path you’re on isn’t working, you shouldn’t get too discouraged when things aren’t happening as quickly as you might expect.(如果你走的道路行不通，你可以随时改变语言学习计划，但当事情没有像你预期的那样迅速发生时，你不应该太沮丧)”以及后文“Language learning is a progressive and long-lasting process, and breakthroughs may come in unexpected ways and at different times for each individual.(语言学习是一个渐进而持久的过程，突破可能会以意想不到的方式在不同的时间到来)”可知，空前提到虽然你总是可以在当前的语言学习计划不起作用时进行调整，但当进展没有你预期中那么快时，你不应该太气馁。空后提到语言学习是一个渐进且长期的过程，突破可能以意想不到的方式在不同的时间点出现。由此可知，空处内容应是在解释为什么不应该太气馁。A选项“要知道表面下有很多事情在发生”暗示了语言学习是一个内在的深层次的过程，效果可能不会立即显现出来，与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
