专题04 七选五 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·河南·二模） The end of the year, with its many holidays, is usually the peak time for shopping. Yet the flood of promotions can be exhausting. 36 In response, Buy Nothing Day, observed annually in November in many countries, seeks to suspend it. Instead of leading people to online stores, it invites them to ask what they truly need and how they want to celebrate. The fashion industry produces a large share of global waste each year. 37 It demands extra production and higher energy use, and it brings even more packaging, much of which is plastic that will last for centuries. 38 It encourages small, intentional actions that support personal well-being and the planet, such as slowing down and reconnecting with nature. A short walk outdoors can lower stress and bring attention back to the present moment. Noticing the wind, the light or the rhythm of a neighborhood helps people feel more grounded and more willing to care for their surroundings. Beyond spending less, another step is to care for what we already own. Extending the life of clothes or other everyday objects reduces demand for new products and the energy behind them. 39 Such “re-loving” shifts our focus from accumulation (积累) to appreciation and responsibility. Buy Nothing Day also highlights creative alternatives to shopping. Instead of buying new things,people can turn saved paper into cards or cook a meal with whatever is already at home. 40 Gradually, they will turn Buy Nothing Day from a rule of “don’t buy” into an invitation to rediscover what it means to have enough. A．Holiday shopping adds to this situation. B．Green living has more benefits than thought. C．Donating whatever is not needed should come first. D．Yet Buy Nothing Day isn’t taking away anyone’s joy. E．Repairing a sweater can become a quiet act of gratitude. F．In this rush, it’s easy to ignore the environmental cost of consumption. G．When repeated, such choices can reshape people’s expectations of holidays. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （2026·河南信阳·二模） If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. 36 Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings. Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. 37 For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem. 38 You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on. Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. 39 Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale. Pause before purchasing. 40 Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition. A．Tum off sales alerts. B．Spave with a purpose. C．But the numbers tell a different story. D．But consider all the potential ways to save the money. E．It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage. F．Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not. G．To avoid such a trap. it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge. Passage 2 （2026·河南信阳·二模） This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? 36 When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). 37 This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry. The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes. 38 A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse. Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. 39 If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety. What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. 40 But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice. A．Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. B．Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions. C．This finding highlights the importance of your knife. D．In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away. E．For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. F．Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason. G．This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode. Passage 3 （2026·河南信阳·二模） Practical Rules of Gardening You may find nothing is worse than a garden that won’t grow. You’re not alone — many gardeners face the same struggle. 36 Either way, these problems can make a garden truly annoying. Check out these tips if you’re sick of a problematic garden and want to see your efforts pay off. You should make a maintenance schedule. Plants appreciate loving care and will reward you for your providing it. On the contrary, ignoring garden maintenance can do lasting damage to them. You should first familiarize yourself with the needs of your plants. 37 You must visit your garden frequently. If you ask experienced gardeners for advice, they will often say, “ 38 ” It means that the gardeners who spend a lot of time in their gardens notice problems while they are still small and manageable. Regular monitoring is an effective way to detect destructive insects and diseases before they get out of control, and what could be nicer than a daily walk through your own little wonderland? 39 Most garden plants prefer a constant amount of soil moisture (水分). To make the job easy, set up a simple irrigation system and put it on a timer. The watering will take care of itself, and your plants won’t have to survive on the changeability of the weather. It’s best to group plants with similar maintenance needs. People tend to be with others like themselves, as we all know. 40 Plants that need good drainage (排水) should be planted together. They should not be mixed in with plants that need very wet soil. Keep this in mind: Group them by their growth and care needs. A．And it’s true for plants, too. B．Keeping the water flowing is crucial. C．It might be poor soil, or disturbing insects. D．Plants need healthy soil and natural watering. E．But you can turn things around with right actions. F．The best thing for a garden is the shadow of the gardener. G．Then mark the calendar to remind yourself what needs doing. Passage 4 （2026·河南郑州·二模） Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones. The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. 36 You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home. After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). 37 This houseplant grows well in either. While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. 38 Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth. 39 Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms. Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. 40 Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time. A．Place the lower parts in soil or water. B．Then, position the plants closer to light. C．Do so twice a year during the growing season. D．Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients. E．Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant. F．Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best. G．Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·河南南阳·二模） Ever notice how you feel different after a walk in the woods? Not just pleasantly tired after exercise, but clearer and lighter. It’s like your mind finally takes a deep breath. 36 Scientists have been studying this for years, and they’ve found that nature does something screens can’t. When you’re on a trail, your brain shifts into a different mode. The brain part, which handles constant thinking and worrying, gets a break. 37 You stop going over conversations in your head. You stop planning your to-do list. You just walk. Psychologists call this “soft fascination”. The city, filled with flashing screens and sudden noises, demands your attention in sharp ways. The trail asks for just enough to keep you moving. Not too much, just enough. A rock in the path. 38 The way sunlight shines through the tree leaves. Nothing urgent. Just enough. 39 One foot in front of the other. Breathe in, breathe out. Your body knows it. Your thoughts stop racing. Problems that felt huge at your desk start to look smaller. You’re not solving anything, exactly. You’re just letting your mind breathe. The best part? 40 Studies show that twenty minutes in a park or on a quiet trail is enough to lower stress and improve focus. So when the weather turns and you feel that pull to head outside, trust it. Put on shoes, find a trail and let the woods do what they’ve always done. A．There is a reason why you feel this good. B．Walking itself brings a natural, calming rhythm. C．Here are some simple tips to help you get started. D．You don’t have to walk long to get the real benefit. E．A bird lifting off a branch without making a sound. F．Your brain just calms down without you even trying. G．A car just zooming away beside you on a busy street. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·河南洛阳·二模） The debate around artificial intelligence often focuses on automation, yet a more far-reaching revolution is underway: advanced Human AI collaboration (协作) reshaping professional landscapes. 36 . Increasing creativity and idea generating Many might view AI as opposite to the free-flowing nature of human creativity. 37 . This is one of the most unexpected benefits of Human AI collaboration. Instead of providing the final product, it serves as a brainstorming partner and a source of inspiration. Pioneering personalized learning and skill development Traditional education often struggles with one-size-fits-all approaches. 38 . It provides highly personalized, adaptive educational experiences that satisfy individual needs and paces. This transforms how we acquire new skills and develop expertise throughout our careers. Enhancing Problem Solving Efficiency in Complex Systems 39 when we face incredibly complex problems involving vast datasets, interconnected variables and dynamic environments. Here, Human AI collaboration provides an unexpected leap forward, allowing us to address challenges previously considered unsolvable. AI’s ability to process, review and simulate (模拟) complex situations at lightning speed adds to human strategic thinking and specialized expertise. 40 Access to specialized knowledge and expert services has historically been limited due to cost, geographical barriers, or shortage of professionals. Human AI collaboration is unexpectedly breaking down these barriers, making expert-level insights and tools available to more audience, enabling individuals and small businesses in previously unimaginable ways. A．Developing resistance and problem-solving B．Human thinking limits can be quickly reached C．But AI can facilitate creative thinking and new ideas D．Here is how Human AI collaboration transforms your work E．Human AI collaboration is unexpectedly reshaping learning F．Popularizing professional skills and making them accessible G．The following is how Human AI collaboration helps your daily life 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 （2026·河南信阳·二模） Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being. 36 . A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. 37 . The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett, a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes 38 . Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. 39 . To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. 40 . Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A．She focused on older adults in research B．Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections C．His brain study backed the finding D．Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine E．It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. F．Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit G．She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies Passage 2 （2026·河南开封·二模） In today’s information-filled world, developing critical thinking skills has become more important than ever. 36 They enable us to travel through the vast sea of information, distinguish fact from fiction, and make informed decisions. The first step in developing critical thinking is to question everything. 37 This doesn’t mean being doubtful about everything, but rather approaching information with an open yet perceptive mind. When you encounter a piece of information, ask yourself: Who is the source? What evidence supports this claim? Are there alternative perspectives? 38 This means actively looking for opinions that differ from your own. Exposing yourself to different perspectives helps you understand complex issues more comprehensively and reduces the risk of confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms your preexisting beliefs. Furthermore, it’s essential to develop the habit of reflective thinking. 39 This means taking time to analyze your own thought processes, examine your assumptions, and evaluate the validity of your conclusions. Reflective thinking allows you to identify gaps in your reasoning and improve your decision-making over time. Finally, practice applying critical thinking in real-life situations. These skills are particularly valuable in academic and professional settings. Whether you’re evaluating news articles, making purchasing decisions, or solving problems at work, consciously applying critical thinking skills will strengthen them over time. Remember, critical thinking is not a native ability. 40 A．Another crucial aspect is to seek out diverse viewpoints. B．However, many people struggle with developing these essential skills. C．Critical thinking skills are like mental tools for processing information. D．Examining your own assumptions for potential bias is part of this process. E．This means developing a habit of inquiry rather than being receptive passively. F．Instead, it is a skill that can be developed and improved through constant practice. G．It requires stepping back from instant reactions and considering the bigger picture. Passage 3 （2026·河南开封·二模） For so long, we had been told by our parents, teachers, and society that the reason why we have not achieved our goals is that we don’t want them hard enough, we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated. We have always felt guilty for not being where we want to be. Guilt doesn’t create progress either. So we feel guilty and we are still stuck. The book Atomic Habits offers a different perspective. 36 . Instead, it says that you need to make your habits as easy as possible to do. That’s the only way to stick to them. It provides four laws or systems that you can apply to good habits. ● To make good habits obvious: make them more visible in your routine or environment. For example, add a new habit to something you already do. 37 . This is called habit stacking. ● To make good habits attractive: pair them with a current habit or activity that you enjoy. I have started carrying a book whenever I go to the park. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I’ll read. My brain has started connecting a new desired habit (reading) with a habit I enjoy (going to the park). 38 . ● To make good habits easy: start small and reduce friction. To become a runner, start by going on brisk walks, build up to a one-mile run and so on. 39 . ● 40 . This can be buying yourself something nice or taking yourself out to dinner if you stick to a habit for a period of time like a week or a month. Charting your progress on the calendar or in a diary can also be enough of a reward. So now use this mantra before you find yourself trying to avoid reciting words, “One percent better every day.” A．Eat a fruit after work or read a page before bed. B．Habit formation focuses on outcome rather than process. C．Reading becomes more attractive, even when not in the park. D．This method contrasts with traditional discipline and motivation. E．To eat healthily, start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets. F．To make good habits satisfying: reward yourself after consistent practice for a period. G．To make good habits rewarding: offer yourself instant rewards after each small behavior. Passage 4 （2026·河南信阳·二模） Self-reflection is a mindful practice of turning your attention inward to observe your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It needn’t be long. In fact, quick pauses bring powerful insights. 36 Do a morning intention check. Before you jump into your day, take a moment to ask yourself, “What is one thing I want to focus on today?” For example, you might decide, “Today, I’ll focus on being patient” or “I’ll stay calm.” 37 Instead of reacting automatically, you’re more aware of your goal. Enjoy mindful moments during the day. Pause briefly to check in with yourself. 38 It could be when you are waiting in line, or even just before replying to a message. Ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now?” For example, you might notice tension building before a meeting or realize you’re feeling distracted. Acknowledging these feelings helps you stay grounded and make conscious choices. These small mindful moments connect you to yourself during chaos. 39 At the end of your day, take a few minutes to reflect. Ask yourself questions like, “What went well today?” and “What could I have done differently?” For instance, you might realize you handled a difficult conversation better than expected, or left a project until the last minute. This reflection isn’t about judgment; it’s about learning and growth. Self-reflection is a simple yet powerful habit that can transform the way you understand yourself and manage life. If you’re new, don’t overdo it. 40 Additionally, trust that every thoughtful pause brings you closer to a more mindful and fulfilling life. A．Conduct an evening review. B．Engage in nighttime learning. C．It could be during a coffee break. D．Just start small and be patient with yourself. E．Below are easy examples you can try anytime. F．This tiny pause can replace casual reactions with thoughtful responses. G．The key is to avoid distractions and stay focused on the present moment. Passage 5 （2026·河南濮阳·二模） Handwriting vs Typing: A Brain Perspective Nowadays, typing has become a common way for students to take notes and record ideas in class and in daily life. 36 It is faster, more convenient, and easier to keep organized in digital form. Many people fully depend on typing without thinking about its hidden influences. But does this efficient way really help with learning and memory? Compared with typing, handwriting affects our brain in deeper and more special ways. 37 This careful and patient process leads to better understanding and stronger, longer-lasting memories, which are key to effective learning. Our dominant hand also provides clues about how the brain works. About 90 percent of people are right-handed. 38 Studies show that left-handed and ambidextrous (双手都灵巧的) people often have more balanced brain activity. Their language and positional skills are spread across both halves of the brain, which supports different thinking abilities. 39 The first reason is that it requires many brain systems to work together. When writing by hand, we use fine motor skills, language processing, visual-positional ability, and focused attention at the same time. This joint activity creates strong connections in the brain and greatly improves memory and comprehension. A 2014 study clearly showed the benefits of handwriting. Students who took notes by hand could process information in their own words. 40 Another study added that only hand-writing created strong brain connectivity linked to memory formation, while typing did not have this effect. In daily life, we can choose to take notes by hand when facing difficult knowledge or keep a short handwritten journal. Over time, this small change will improve our attention, learning ability, and cognitive (认知) health. A．Why does handwriting influence the brain so differently? B．It makes us think more carefully and organize ideas better. C．Most people choose typing mainly for its speed and convenience. D．They performed much better on understanding and memory tests later. E．Some students can type very quickly when teachers are speaking in class. F．Why do so many students still prefer typing to handwriting in daily study? G．Left-handed and two-handed people show different brain organization patterns. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 七选五 参考答案 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1【答案】36．F 37．A 38．D 39．E 40．G 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1【答案】36．G 37．C 38．A 39．E 40．F Passage 2【答案】36．F 37．D 38．C 39．A 40．E Passage 3【答案】36．C 37．G 38．F 39．B 40．A Passage 4【答案】36．D 37．A 38．E 39．B 40．C 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1【答案】36．A 37．F 38．E 39．B 40．D 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1【答案】36．D 37．C 38．E 39．B 40．F 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1【答案】36．E 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D Passage 2【答案】36．C 37．E 38．A 39．G 40．F Passage 3【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．E 40．F Passage 4【答案】36．E 37．F 38．C 39．A 40．D Passage 5【答案】36．C 37．B 38．G 39．A 40．D / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 七选五 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·河南·二模） The end of the year, with its many holidays, is usually the peak time for shopping.

Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. 37 For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is.

We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen? 36 When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). 37 This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry. The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes. 38 A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse. Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. 39 If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety. What is the best solution? Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. 40 But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice. A．Onions can sometimes carry bacteria. B．Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions. C．This finding highlights the importance of your knife. D．In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away. E．For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier. F．Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason. G．This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode. 【答案】36．F 37．D 38．C 39．A 40．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了切洋葱时流泪的原因，并指出使用锋利的刀是减少流泪和杂乱的最有效方法。 36．上文“Why does this happen?

Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones. The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. 36 You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home. After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). 37 This houseplant grows well in either. While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. 38 Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth. 39 Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms. Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. 40 Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time. A．Place the lower parts in soil or water. B．Then, position the plants closer to light. C．Do so twice a year during the growing season. D．Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients. E．Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant. F．Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best. G．Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．E 39．B 40．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了让绿萝长得茂密旺盛的多种养护方法，包括换盆、修剪扦插、合理浇水、充足光照以及科学施肥等实用技巧。 36．根据前文“The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home.(想要绿萝长得更快，第一步就是给它换一个更大的生长环境)”可知，本段围绕更换花盆展开，D选项 “Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.(换盆能够让绿萝获得更多生长空间和养分)”承接上文，解释换盆的作用，符合语境。 37．根据前文“Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems.(先剪掉扦插枝条下方的叶子，只在茎干上保留一两片叶子)”以及后文“This houseplant grows well in either.(这种植物在两种环境中都能良好生长)”可知，此处介绍扦插的操作步骤，A 选项“Place the lower parts in soil or water.(将枝条下端放入土壤或水中)”承接扦插操作，同时对应后文两种生长环境，衔接自然。 38．根据前文“While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering.(修剪、换盆这类大调整有助于绿萝长势茂密，浇水这类细节养护同样重要)”以及后文“Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water.(养成固定浇水习惯，浇水前先用手指检测土壤湿度)”可知，本段介绍合理浇水的方法，E选项“Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.(叶片发黄、发枯以及土壤干燥都说明植物缺水)”承接上下文，讲解缺水的判断依据，符合语境。 39．根据后文“Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth.(绿萝适宜在室内明亮的散射光环境中健康生长)”可知，本段核心讲述光照对绿萝生长的重要性，B选项“Then, position the plants closer to light.(然后，将植株摆放至靠近光照的位置)”为本段总起句，引出光照养护的内容，符合语境。 40．根据前文“Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth.(一定要严格按照说明给绿萝施肥，适量肥料可以促进植株健康生长)”可知，前文提及施肥的注意事项，C选项“Do so twice a year during the growing season.(在生长旺季，每年进行两次施肥即可)”承接上文，补充施肥的频率，与后文施肥带来的良好效果相呼应。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·河南南阳·二模） Ever notice how you feel different after a walk in the woods?

A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic. Psychologist James Hittner notes loneliness results from unmet social relationship expectations, a psychological gap that often leads to emotional isolation and depression if left unaddressed. Hittner and Calvin Widholm analyzed 26 studies involving over 10,000 participants across diverse age groups and cultural backgrounds, finding a moderate inverse relationship between gratitude and loneliness. Those scoring above average in gratitude had a 62.4% chance of below-average loneliness, a statistic that held consistent even after controlling for factors like socioeconomic status. Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result. 37 . The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection. Bartlett, a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes 38 . Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study. Over the course of 20 days, participants were asked to write down their daily grateful moments, specifying not just what they were thankful for but also why the experience mattered to them. This simple practice was reported to contribute to a sustained decrease in loneliness and a marked increase in physical and mental well-being in the participants. Some research has even shown the positive impact of gratitude-letter writing, which takes the reflective practice a step further with tangible expression. Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness. She asked her students to write to a person who they have never thanked, or someone have not expressed gratitude to for a long time. 39 . To build a sustainable gratitude practice against chronic loneliness, Bartlett offers actionable, science-backed tips that go beyond basic daily reflection. First, record three good things and their specific contributors every day, rather than vague positive events. Second, write a physical gratitude letter to someone underappreciated and deliver it in person if possible, a gesture that requires vulnerability but often leads to deeply moving conversations. 40 . Unlike texts or digital messages, hand-delivered letters foster authentic, deep interpersonal connection, directly easing loneliness. A．She focused on older adults in research B．Such practice strengthens interpersonal connections C．His brain study backed the finding D．Gradually, this cultivates a consistent gratitude routine E．It has also been linked to decreased loneliness. F．Gratitude lights the “social bonding” circuit G．She questions whether gratitude works in long-term studies 【答案】36．E 37．C 38．A 39．B 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了感恩与孤独感之间的关联，以及如何通过感恩练习来缓解孤独感的相关研究和建议。 36．由上文“Gratitude is a positive emotion that recognizes the good that others have brought to our lives, and is important both for our interpersonal relationships and physical well-being.(感恩是一种积极的情绪，它认可他人为我们生活带来的美好，对我们的人际关系和身体健康都很重要。)”以及下文“A pioneering meta-analysis spanning 15 countries confirmed a significant inverse correlation-higher gratitude correlates with lower loneliness-highlighting gratitude’s potential to ease the global loneliness epidemic.(一项覆盖15个国家的开创性元分析证实，感恩与孤独感之间存在显著的负相关——感恩程度越高，孤独感越低——这凸显了感恩在缓解全球孤独感流行方面的潜力。)”可知，本空需要承接上文，引出感恩与孤独感的关联。E选项“It has also been linked to decreased loneliness.(它也与孤独感的降低有关。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中“It”指代上文的“Gratitude”，且“decreased loneliness”与下文的“lower loneliness”相呼应。故选E。 37．由上文“Neuroscientist Glenn Fox, who published the first direct study of gratitude in the brain in 2015, was not shocked by the result.(神经科学家Glenn Fox在2015年发表了第一项关于大脑中感恩的直接研究，他对这个结果并不感到惊讶。)”以及下文“The research found gratitude boosts medial prefrontal cortex activity, a region tied to social bonding and the experience of joy, which further explains the emotional and neurological link between gratitude and reduced social disconnection.( 这项研究发现，感恩会增强内侧前额叶皮层的活动，该区域与社会联结和愉悦体验相关，这进一步解释了感恩与减少社会疏离之间在情绪和神经层面的关联。)”可知，C项“His brain study backed the finding（他对大脑的研究支持了这一发现）”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中“His brain study”指代Fox的研究，“backed the finding”呼应上文“was not shocked by the result”。故选C。 38．由上文“Bartlett, a professor at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, studies how our emotions have evolved to serve an adaptive social purposes.(Bartlett是华盛顿州斯波坎市贡萨加大学的教授，她研究我们的情绪是如何进化以服务于社会的适应性目标。)”以及下文“Bartlett and her colleagues evaluated the long-term effect of gratitude on loneliness and health in older adults in a 2019 study.(Bartlett和她的同事在2019年的一项研究中评估了感恩对老年人孤独感和健康的长期影响。)”可知，本空需要引出Bartlett的研究对象。A选项“She focused on older adults in research.(她的研究重点是老年人。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中“She”指代Bartlett，“older adults”与下文的“older adults”相呼应。故选A。 39．由上文“Bartlett often suggests gratitude-letter writing to her students as an exercise in emotional awareness.

The first step in developing critical thinking is to question everything. 37 This doesn’t mean being doubtful about everything, but rather approaching information with an open yet perceptive mind. When you encounter a piece of information, ask yourself: Who is the source? What evidence supports this claim? Are there alternative perspectives? 38 This means actively looking for opinions that differ from your own. Exposing yourself to different perspectives helps you understand complex issues more comprehensively and reduces the risk of confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms your preexisting beliefs. Furthermore, it’s essential to develop the habit of reflective thinking. 39 This means taking time to analyze your own thought processes, examine your assumptions, and evaluate the validity of your conclusions. Reflective thinking allows you to identify gaps in your reasoning and improve your decision-making over time. Finally, practice applying critical thinking in real-life situations. These skills are particularly valuable in academic and professional settings. Whether you’re evaluating news articles, making purchasing decisions, or solving problems at work, consciously applying critical thinking skills will strengthen them over time. Remember, critical thinking is not a native ability. 40 A．Another crucial aspect is to seek out diverse viewpoints. B．However, many people struggle with developing these essential skills. C．Critical thinking skills are like mental tools for processing information. D．Examining your own assumptions for potential bias is part of this process. E．This means developing a habit of inquiry rather than being receptive passively. F．Instead, it is a skill that can be developed and improved through constant practice. G．It requires stepping back from instant reactions and considering the bigger picture. 【答案】36．C 37．E 38．A 39．G 40．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“如何培养批判性思维”展开，从质疑信息、寻求多元视角、养成反思习惯、实际应用练习四个维度给出具体方法，核心传递“批判性思维是可通过刻意练习培养的关键技能”的观点。 36．由上文“In today’s information-filled world, developing critical thinking skills has become more important than ever.(在当今信息充斥的世界，培养批判性思维能力变得比以往任何时候都重要。)”可知，空格处需进一步解释批判性思维的作用。C项“Critical thinking skills are like mental tools for processing information.(批判性思维技能就像是处理信息的思维工具。)” 符合语境，该句对前文进行具体阐释，有承上作用。故选C项。 37．由上文“The first step in developing critical thinking is to question everything.(培养批判性思维的第一步是质疑一切。)”可知，空格处需对“质疑一切”进行解释。E项“This means developing a habit of inquiry rather than being receptive passively.(这意味着养成探究的习惯，而不是被动接受。)”符合语境，该句是对前文的具体说明，有承上作用，其中“inquiry”与上文“to question everything”对应。故选E项。 38．空格处需作为本段主题句，由下文“This means actively looking for opinions that differ from your own.(这意味着主动寻找与你不同的观点。)”可知，点明要寻找不同观点。A项“Another crucial aspect is to seek out diverse viewpoints.(另一个关键方面是寻找多样化的观点。)”符合语境，该句总领全段，“diverse viewpoints”对应下文“opinions that differ from your own”，精准概括本段主旨。故选A项。 39．由上文“Furthermore, it’s essential to develop the habit of reflective thinking.(此外，养成反思性思维的习惯至关重要。)”可知，空格处需解释什么是反思性思维。G项“It requires stepping back from instant reactions and considering the bigger picture.(它需要放下即时反应，考虑全局。)”符合语境，该句对前文“reflective thinking”进行具体解释，有承上作用。故选G项。 40．由上文“Remember, critical thinking is not a native ability.(记住，批判性思维不是一种天生的能力。)”可知，空格处需说明它是后天可习得的技能。F项“Instead, it is a skill that can be developed and improved through constant practice.(相反，它是一种可以通过不断练习培养和提升的技能。)”符合语境，该句与前文形成转折对比，有承上作用，其中it指代上文“critical thinking”。故选F项。 Passage 3 （2026·河南开封·二模） For so long, we had been told by our parents, teachers, and society that the reason why we have not achieved our goals is that we don’t want them hard enough, we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated. We have always felt guilty for not being where we want to be. Guilt doesn’t create progress either. So we feel guilty and we are still stuck. The book Atomic Habits offers a different perspective. 36 . Instead, it says that you need to make your habits as easy as possible to do. That’s the only way to stick to them. It provides four laws or systems that you can apply to good habits. ● To make good habits obvious: make them more visible in your routine or environment. For example, add a new habit to something you already do. 37 . This is called habit stacking. ● To make good habits attractive: pair them with a current habit or activity that you enjoy. I have started carrying a book whenever I go to the park. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I’ll read. My brain has started connecting a new desired habit (reading) with a habit I enjoy (going to the park). 38 . ● To make good habits easy: start small and reduce friction. To become a runner, start by going on brisk walks, build up to a one-mile run and so on. 39 . ● 40 . This can be buying yourself something nice or taking yourself out to dinner if you stick to a habit for a period of time like a week or a month. Charting your progress on the calendar or in a diary can also be enough of a reward. So now use this mantra before you find yourself trying to avoid reciting words, “One percent better every day.” A．Eat a fruit after work or read a page before bed. B．Habit formation focuses on outcome rather than process. C．Reading becomes more attractive, even when not in the park. D．This method contrasts with traditional discipline and motivation. E．To eat healthily, start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets. F．To make good habits satisfying: reward yourself after consistent practice for a period. G．To make good habits rewarding: offer yourself instant rewards after each small behavior. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．E 40．F 【导语】本文针对传统观点认为没实现目标是因为不够渴望、缺乏纪律或动力的误区，详细介绍了《原子习惯》中养成好习惯的四个实用法则。 36．空格前“For so long, we had been told by our parents, teachers, and society that the reason why we have not achieved our goals is that we don’t want them hard enough, we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated. We have always felt guilty for not being where we want to be. Guilt doesn’t create progress either. So we feel guilty and we are still stuck. The book Atomic Habits offers a different perspective.(长期以来，我们的父母、老师和社会都告诉我们，我们没有实现目标的原因是我们不够渴望，没有纪律性或者缺乏动力。我们总是因为没有达到自己想要的状态而感到内疚。内疚也不会带来进步。所以我们感到内疚，却仍然停滞不前。《原子习惯》这本书提供了一个不同的视角。)”提到传统观点认为没实现目标是因为不够渴望、缺乏纪律或动力，而《原子习惯》提供了不同视角。空格后“Instead, it says that you need to make your habits as easy as possible to do. That’s the only way to stick to them. It provides four laws or systems that you can apply to good habits.(相反，它说你需要让你的习惯尽可能容易做到。这是坚持下去的唯一方法。它提供了四个你可以应用于好习惯的法则或系统。)”提到《原子习惯》主张让习惯尽可能容易做到。D选项“This method contrasts with traditional discipline and motivation.(这种方法与传统的纪律和动力形成对比。)”中的“traditional discipline and motivation”正好指代前文的“we don’t have discipline or we’re not motivated”，而“This method”则指代后文的“make your habits as easy as possible to do”，既承接了前文“传统观点导致的问题”，又能自然引出后文“《原子习惯》的不同视角”，完美衔接上下文逻辑。 37．空格前“To make good habits obvious: make them more visible in your routine or environment. For example, add a new habit to something you already do.(让好习惯显而易见：在你的日常或环境中让它们更显眼。例如，在你已经做的事情上添加一个新习惯。)”提到让好习惯显而易见的方法是在已做的事情上添加新习惯。空格后“This is called habit stacking.(这被称为习惯叠加。)”提到这是习惯叠加。A选项“Eat a fruit after work or read a page before bed.(下班后吃一个水果或睡前读一页书。)”中的“after work”和“before bed”都是“already do”的事情，而“Eat a fruit”和“read a page”则是添加的新习惯，正好是前文“add a new habit to something you already do”的具体例子，与后文的“habit stacking”完全呼应，完美解释了“习惯叠加”的概念。 38．空格前“To make good habits attractive: pair them with a current habit or activity that you enjoy. I have started carrying a book whenever I go to the park. Instead of scrolling on my phone, I’ll read. My brain has started connecting a new desired habit (reading) with a habit I enjoy (going to the park).(让好习惯有吸引力：把它们和你现在喜欢的习惯或活动配对。我现在每次去公园都会带一本书。我会读书，而不是刷手机。我的大脑已经开始把一个想要养成的新习惯（阅读）和我喜欢的一个习惯（去公园）联系起来。)”提到让好习惯有吸引力的方法是将其与喜欢的习惯配对，作者举例将阅读和去公园联系起来。C选项“Reading becomes more attractive, even when not in the park.(阅读变得更有吸引力，即使不在公园。)”中的“more attractive”正好呼应了前文的“make good habits attractive”，而“even when not in the park”则是前文“connecting reading with going to the park”的结果——当大脑把阅读和喜欢的公园联系起来后，阅读本身也变得更有吸引力了，即使不在公园也想读，完美体现了这种配对方法的效果。 39．空格前“To make good habits easy: start small and reduce friction. To become a runner, start by going on brisk walks, build up to a one-mile run and so on.(让好习惯容易做到：从小事做起，减少阻力。要成为一名跑步者，从快走开始，逐渐增加到一英里跑步等等。)”提到让好习惯容易做到的方法是从小事做起，减少阻力，作者举例成为跑步者从快走开始。E选项“To eat healthily, start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets.(要健康饮食，从每天吃一个水果开始，而不是极端饮食。)”中的“start with one daily fruit instead of extreme diets”正好是前文“start small and reduce friction”的具体例子，与“start by going on brisk walks”的逻辑完全一致——都是通过从小事做起、降低难度来让习惯更容易坚持，完美呼应了“让好习惯容易做到”的法则。 40．空格后“This can be buying yourself something nice or taking yourself out to dinner if you stick to a habit for a period of time like a week or a month. Charting your progress on the calendar or in a diary can also be enough of a reward.(这可以是如果你坚持一个习惯一段时间，比如一周或一个月，给自己买些好东西或带自己出去吃晚餐。在日历或日记上记录你的进步也可以是足够的奖励。)”提到坚持习惯一段时间后给自己奖励的方法。F选项“To make good habits satisfying: reward yourself after consistent practice for a period.(让好习惯有满足感：在持续练习一段时间后奖励自己。)”中的“reward yourself after consistent practice for a period”正好是后文“buying yourself something nice”“taking yourself out to dinner”“Charting your progress”的核心概括，直接点明了本段的核心建议——通过奖励让好习惯有满足感，与后文的举例完全呼应，完美总结了让好习惯有满足感的法则。 Passage 4 （2026·河南信阳·二模） Self-reflection is a mindful practice of turning your attention inward to observe your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It needn’t be long. In fact, quick pauses bring powerful insights. 36 Do a morning intention check. Before you jump into your day, take a moment to ask yourself, “What is one thing I want to focus on today?” For example, you might decide, “Today, I’ll focus on being patient” or “I’ll stay calm.” 37 Instead of reacting automatically, you’re more aware of your goal. Enjoy mindful moments during the day. Pause briefly to check in with yourself. 38 It could be when you are waiting in line, or even just before replying to a message. Ask yourself, “How am I feeling right now?” For example, you might notice tension building before a meeting or realize you’re feeling distracted. Acknowledging these feelings helps you stay grounded and make conscious choices. These small mindful moments connect you to yourself during chaos. 39 At the end of your day, take a few minutes to reflect. Ask yourself questions like, “What went well today?” and “What could I have done differently?” For instance, you might realize you handled a difficult conversation better than expected, or left a project until the last minute. This reflection isn’t about judgment; it’s about learning and growth. Self-reflection is a simple yet powerful habit that can transform the way you understand yourself and manage life. If you’re new, don’t overdo it. 40 Additionally, trust that every thoughtful pause brings you closer to a more mindful and fulfilling life. A．Conduct an evening review. B．Engage in nighttime learning. C．It could be during a coffee break. D．Just start small and be patient with yourself. E．Below are easy examples you can try anytime.

Many people fully depend on typing without thinking about its hidden influences. But does this efficient way really help with learning and memory? Compared with typing, handwriting affects our brain in deeper and more special ways. 37 This careful and patient process leads to better understanding and stronger, longer-lasting memories, which are key to effective learning. Our dominant hand also provides clues about how the brain works. About 90 percent of people are right-handed. 38 Studies show that left-handed and ambidextrous (双手都灵巧的) people often have more balanced brain activity. Their language and positional skills are spread across both halves of the brain, which supports different thinking abilities. 39 The first reason is that it requires many brain systems to work together. When writing by hand, we use fine motor skills, language processing, visual-positional ability, and focused attention at the same time. This joint activity creates strong connections in the brain and greatly improves memory and comprehension. A 2014 study clearly showed the benefits of handwriting. Students who took notes by hand could process information in their own words. 40 Another study added that only hand-writing created strong brain connectivity linked to memory formation, while typing did not have this effect. In daily life, we can choose to take notes by hand when facing difficult knowledge or keep a short handwritten journal. Over time, this small change will improve our attention, learning ability, and cognitive (认知) health. A．Why does handwriting influence the brain so differently? B．It makes us think more carefully and organize ideas better. C．Most people choose typing mainly for its speed and convenience. D．They performed much better on understanding and memory tests later. E．Some students can type very quickly when teachers are speaking in class. F．Why do so many students still prefer typing to handwriting in daily study? G．Left-handed and two-handed people show different brain organization patterns. 【答案】36．C 37．B 38．G 39．A 40．D 【导语】短文从大脑运作角度对比手写与打字的区别，阐述手写能调动大脑多项机能、增强理解与记忆，更利于学习和认知发展。 36．根据下文 “It is faster, more convenient, and easier to keep organized in digital form.(它更快、更便捷，电子版也更整洁)” 可知，空格处说明人们选择打字的主要原因。C选项 “Most people choose typing mainly for its speed and convenience.(大多数人选择打字主要是因为它快速又便捷)” 承接下文，符合语境。 37．根据上文 “Compared with typing, handwriting affects our brain in deeper and more special ways.(与打字相比，手写会以更深刻、更独特的方式影响我们的大脑)”可知，空格处介绍手写带来的思维优势。B选项 “It makes us think more carefully and organize ideas better.(它让我们思考更细致、梳理思路更清晰)” 承接上文，符合语境。 38．根据上文 “About 90 percent of people are right-handed.(大约九成的人是右撇子)” 以及下文 “Studies show that left-handed and ambidextrous people often have more balanced brain activity.(研究表明左撇子和双手灵活的人大脑活动更均衡)” 可知，空格处衔接左右手人群的大脑差异。G选项 “Left-handed and two-handed people show different brain organization patterns.(左撇子和双手都灵巧的人有着不同的大脑运作模式)” 承上启下，符合语境。 39．根据下文 “The first reason is that it requires many brain systems to work together.(第一个原因是它需要多个大脑系统协同运作)” 可知，空格处提出疑问，引出手写影响大脑的原因。A选项 “Why does handwriting influence the brain so differently?(为什么手写对大脑的影响截然不同？)” 统领本段，符合语境。 40．根据上文 “Students who took notes by hand could process information in their own words.(手写笔记的学生能用自己的话加工信息)” 可知，空格处说明这类学生最后的学习成果。D选项 “They performed much better on understanding and memory tests later.(之后他们在理解和记忆测试中表现更好)” 承接上文，符合语境。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
