专题04 七选五阅读 主题01 人与自我——社交情商；数字健康；学业规划；家庭教育 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南怀化·二模) As humans, we all have different emotional states, known as moods. We may feel happy, sad, angry, anxious or excited at different times. Well, moods are not just for individuals. 1 Now, let’s talk about an expression that describes ways we understand the general mood of a group of people. That expression is “to read the room”. When you read the room, you use your powers of observation to learn the general mood or emotional state of people in a particular setting. You may then act in a way that is similar to that mood. You match it. Let’s say you are in a silly mood — laughing a lot and making jokes. Then you enter a serious work meeting. 2 You can tell someone else to read the room if he seems clueless about the mood of a group of people. 3 Used in this way, it can either be funny or insulting — depending on the situation and how we say the phrase. 4 People are seated around a table enjoying good food and conversation. Then, your friend Betsy brings up a very serious topic like a historic battle where many people died. Suddenly the tone changes. The atmosphere goes from happy to serious. You could say, “Betsy, read the room! No one wants to talk about that now.” The expression “read the room” is all about being observant. 5 People who can read the room know the right atmosphere, tone, and mood and are able to fit in. A．Reading the room is a skill. B．Suppose you are at a dinner party. C．You will influence the moods of others. D．Dining together is an important occasion. E．Groups of people can also share a collective mood. F．It is a way to show that he is behaving inappropriately. G．You may need to read the room and change your behavior. Passage 2 (2025-2026·高三·湖南长沙名校联盟·二模) Every day, students move through school carrying not just textbooks but a collection of different identities. In one moment, a student may be a responsible class leader. 1 Each role demands a different tone, attitude, and level of confidence. Challenges emerge when these identities conflict. However, what many teenagers don’t realize is that the constant switch between these roles shapes much of their emotional experience at school. 2 For example, a student who enjoys helping others may feel comfortable acting as a group organizer during projects, yet the same student may feel uncertain when stepping into a role that requires public speaking or taking the lead in a debate. This contrast can be confusing, making students wonder which version of themselves is real. But teenagers should bear in mind that identity is not a fixed label. 3 The ability to shift roles is a skill that grows stronger with practice. Each role presents a different piece of who they are becoming. Learning to navigate the challenging transitions begins with self-awareness. Students who take time to reflect — asking themselves why a particular role feels easy or difficult — often develop greater emotional resilience (韧性). 4 They recognize when to step forward, when to step back, and when to simply observe. Eventually, students come to understand that they are not defined by a single identity. Instead, they are shaped by all the roles they play. Mastering the art of switching roles is not about performing for others. 5 A．Later, she becomes a supportive friend. B．Indeed, it is more like a flexible framework. C．They gain clearer insight into their classmates. D．Some roles come naturally, while others require effort. E．Shifting roles isn’t necessarily challenging for everyone. F．Over time, they learn to adjust without losing themselves. G．Instead, it is about discovering a complete version of oneself. Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南张家界·二模) How to Make the Most of Your Gap Year Before College A gap year between high school and college is a great chance to grow, learn new things and get ready for your college life. However, many students don’t know how to make the most of this special time. Here are some useful tips to help you plan a meaningful gap year. 1 Before you start your gap year, think about what you want to get from this time. Do you want to learn a new skill, get some work experience, help others, or just see more of the world? Setting clear goals will help you make a good plan and avoid wasting your time. Get out of your comfort zone. A gap year is the perfect time to try things you have never done before. 2 If you are a shy person, you can try to be a volunteer guide in a museum. If you have never left your hometown, you can travel to a different province or even a foreign country. Trying new things will help you become more confident and independent. 3 College is not just about study, but also about developing skills that will help you in your future life and work. You can use your gap year to learn a new language, master a digital skill like photo editing or programming, or learn to cook, drive or manage money. These skills will be very useful when you start your college life. Do volunteer work. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the society, meet new people and gain valuable experience. 4 . You can volunteer to teach left-behind children in rural areas, help take care of old people in a nursing home, or join an environmental protection organization. Volunteering will not only make your gap year more meaningful, but also add a bright point to your college application. Take time to reflect. 5 . During your gap year, take some time to think about your interests, your strengths and weaknesses, and your future plans. This will help you have a clearer idea of what you want to study in college and what kind of person you want to be. A．Learn useful life skills. B．Set clear goals at the beginning. C．You can choose volunteer work that matches your interests. D．It’s important to have fun during your gap year. E．Many students come back from gap year with a clearer mind. F．You don’t need to travel far to try new things. G．A gap year is not just about doing things, but also about thinking about yourself. Passage 4 (2026·高三·湖南永州·二模) Many families find themselves questioning whether there’s a need for their children to do chores at home. But Dr. Harris believes chores aren’t just about keeping a clean home. 1 Assigning regular household duties can enhance children’s cognitive development. According to Dr. Harris, chores strengthen core management skills — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, change between tasks and manage time effectively. 2 . They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility. Chores can foster children’s independence and sense of responsibility at different ages. Younger children love to feel capable. Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence. 3 . Dr. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. When kids feel a sense of ownership, they’re more likely to follow through. And giving them a say in what they do can go a long way. 4 . “One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.” Of course, every minute of a typical family life today can be accounted for, leaving parents to wonder whether to insist on chores at all. Dr. Harris acknowledges this tension and encourages flexibility. “When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says. “ 5 .” Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time. A．Chores help children build confidence and empathy B．But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities C．These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood D．Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers E．Asking kids to help out around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits F．Chores can also support mental health, particularly for kids with anxiety or depression G．For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex such as helping cook meals 主题02 人与自然——园艺种植 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭·二模) A beautiful flower garden begins with preparation. It is not just about choosing pretty flowers. 1 For beginners, this step is especially important. The steps below outline the key factors to consider before getting started. Know your site The first step in creating the perfect flower garden is to familiarize yourself with the area you want to plant. Landscape architect, Mary Ellen Cowan suggests, “Really know your site. 2 Be honest with light, moisture (水分) conditions, and the shape of the land.” Know your soil Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful flower garden. 3 One reliable way to do this is through a soil test. Erin Benzakein, owner of Floret Flower Farm, explains how to collect soil samples: Dig about one foot deep and take small amounts from different areas. Then send it to a testing lab for analysis. The results will help you decide how to improve your soil. Know your flowers Cowan also says, “Learn what plants grow well in your soil. 4 ” Carol Bornstein, expert at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, recommends “visiting nearby natural areas that mimic (与……相似) your conditions in the wild to discover the flowers that you like”. Know your limitations In her book, A Beautiful and Easy-Care Flower Garden, Stacy Ling reminds us to “think through your lifestyle before you design, plant, and decorate your garden spaces. Every spring it’s tempting to want to do it all, but be realistic with how much time you have available to maintain your garden. 5 ” A．You can always add more next year. B．You should understand your garden first. C．The plants will fill in faster and cut down on weeds. D．On this basis, you can figure out what to plant wisely. E．Listen to mother nature to learn about the land’s quality. F．You can’t have everything screaming at you in the garden. G．Before planting, it pays to understand what nutrients it already has. 主题01 人与自我——身份认知；心理韧性；职业规划；决策心理 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南长郡名校联盟·二模) FOBO is short for “Fear of a Better Option”. We live in a world of overwhelming (过多的) choices. 1 Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. When you can’t make decisions with certainty, you waste precious time and energy. Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. 2 This will determine your decision-making strategy. When it comes down to it, you only really face three types of decisions in life: no-stakes, low-stakes and high-stakes. Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. 3 A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. With thousands of shows, it is easy to get confused. However, no matter what you pick, there are no consequences. The key is to outsource them to the universe. For instance, you can narrow your choices to just two and then flip (抛) the coin. Then come the low-stakes decisions. These have risks, but none are earth-shattering, and there are plenty of acceptable outcomes. Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. 4 Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. 5 These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects, you absolutely want to get it right. Start by picking out a front-runner, and then compare each of your options with the front-runner, one by one. Each time, choose the better of the two and abandon the other one. Now repeat the process until you get down to one final choice. A．These are minor details of life. B．Here is the tip to avoid FOBO. C．This time you outsource to a person. D．You first have to think about the stakes. E．Technology has only made the problem more complicated. F．Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. G．Your personal and professional life will be negatively influenced. Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭市一中·二模) To figure out how to choose a career, start by taking a good look at yourself. Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires (线). 1 From there, you’ll narrow the field further by looking at the specifics of different career options you’re most suited for. List your skills and talents. No matter who you are, there are plenty of things you’re good at. You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. 2 Don’t leave out any of them, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. Identify your passions and mission. If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you. 3 To keep commitment (投入) over a long time, you also need a deeper purpose. This purpose defines your mission: the contribution you want to make and the results you try to see. 4 Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you? What kind of environment do you excel in? If you’ve managed to get through everything above and have a clear answer for what you’re wired to do, congratulations! If you’re still unsure, that’s okay. 5 There’s only so much career shopping you can do before you have to just go for it. A．Consider the challenges you may meet. B．Think about practical parts of a job. C．However, passion alone isn’t enough. D．You don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime. E．These are all hints that tell you what your strengths are. F．They combine to form a picture of what you’re wired to do. G．Your mission will follow if you’re passionate about your work. Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南常德·二模) We’ve engineered our lives to be frictionless or effortless, from one-tap grocery delivery to AI assistants that draft our emails. 1 Actually, struggles, frustrations and things like these in our life can be good things. They’re building something important. Here’s why we need friction in our life. Struggle builds resilience (韧性). No amount of AI or convenience can eliminate failure, heartbreak or disappointment from life. What protects us in life isn’t avoiding pain or failure, but knowing, from experience, that we can survive it. Resilience isn’t something you download or automate. 2 Skip those experiences, and you never develop the resilience for the really hard stuff. Inconvenience strengthens memory. 3 We tend to forget facts more easily when they are not stored along with an emotional memory. This explains why you recall every detail of that epic road trip where everything went wrong, but barely remember last year’s perfectly organized vacation. 4 It is essential for connection. Some friction in a relationship — like a disagreement we need to negotiate — is what develops the connection. And remember being bored as a kid? Actually, boredom is the nursery of originality. If we constantly fill each momentary gap with scrolling (滚屏), we never allow our minds to enter the quiet time where new ideas occur. So, choose to stay engaged with our own life, even when there’s an easier way out. Let’s take this message to heart: 5 A．Friction is where the living happens. B．AI doesn’t just assist us to save time. C．Problem-solving trains your reasoning ability. D．Pain deepens relationships and stimulates creativity. E．It’s something the brain earns through lived experiences. F．Without emotional processing, we can’t remember things well. G．But experts say all that convenience might be making us worse off. Passage 4 (2026·高三·湖南长郡中学·校考二模) I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. 1 I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. 2 That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. 3 On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. 4 On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. 5 Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A．But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B．This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C．Some mornings were more reflective than active. D．It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E．I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F．That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G．It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 主题02 人与社会——社会心理 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南岳阳·二模) There’s a long-standing belief that ostriches (鸵鸟) like to “bury” their heads in the sand when they face danger. This idea has long been proved false-ostriches don’t actually do this. Ironically, however, humans often behave in exactly this way. Many people deliberately choose not to know certain things: avoiding bad news, ignoring uncomfortable truths, or postponing unpleasant updates. This “the less I know, the better” mindset is surprisingly common in adults but has an unclear origin-children are naturally curious, constantly asking questions. 1 A 2025 study published in Psychological Science set out to answer this question. Researchers studied information avoidance and tested children aged 5 to 10 in scenarios where they could choose to seek or avoid information. As expected, younger children were highly curious and eager to learn, even if they later made selfish choices. 2 Researchers explained that as children grow older, they care more about appearing fair. By avoiding information, they create “moral wiggle room” (道德回旋余地) to act selfishly while still seeming moral. 3 First, people avoid information to protect themselves from negative emotions. Second, it helps them preserve a positive self-image. Third, it allows them to act in their own self-interest without feeling guilty. These patterns continue into adulthood. While ignorance may bring temporary comfort, it often leads to serious long-term costs. Avoiding health checks, ignoring relationship problems, or dismissing social issues can all result in lasting harm. 4 Early avoidance in childhood can even contribute to broader social challenges. Repeatedly avoiding uncomfortable ideas can lead to ideological rigidity. 5 This “developmental paradox” — from curious explorers to “ostriches” — shapes our choices and limits our growth. A．So how to stay curious as adults? B．So when and why do we become selectively ignorant? C．However, older children increasingly avoid information, acting selfishly. D．The study identified three main motivations behind information avoidance. E．Ignoring climate change may feel safe, but threatens long-term global stability. F．In the end, the short-term relief pales in comparison to the long-term consequences. G．As research shows, this shift creates a “developmental paradox” with lifelong effects. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 七选五阅读 主题01 人与自我——社交情商；数字健康；学业规划；家庭教育 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南怀化·二模) As humans, we all have different emotional states, known as moods. We may feel happy, sad, angry, anxious or excited at different times.

You could say, “Betsy, read the room! No one wants to talk about that now.” The expression “read the room” is all about being observant. 5 People who can read the room know the right atmosphere, tone, and mood and are able to fit in.

E．Groups of people can also share a collective mood. F．It is a way to show that he is behaving inappropriately. G．You may need to read the room and change your behavior. 【答案】1．E 2．G 3．F 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文指出群体也有集体情绪，介绍了英语习语“read the room”（察言观色）的含义、用法与价值，并结合具体场景举例说明。 1．前文“Well, moods are not just for individuals.( 实际上，情绪并不仅仅属于个人范畴。)”指出“情绪不只是个人的”，后文“Now, let’s talk about an expression that describes ways we understand the general mood of a group of people.( 现在，让我们来谈谈一个用来描述我们如何理解一群人整体情绪状态的表达方式。)”转向“群体的整体情绪”。E选项“Groups of people can also share a collective mood.( 群体也可以拥有共同的集体情绪。)”完美衔接个人与群体情绪的过渡，与后文“general mood of a group”呼应。 2．前文“Let’s say you are in a silly mood — laughing a lot and making jokes. Then you enter a serious work meeting.( 比如说，你处于一种轻松愉快的情绪中——大笑并讲笑话。然后你进入一个严肃的工作会议。)”举例：你原本嬉闹，却进入了严肃的工作会议。G选项 “You may need to read the room and change your behavior.( 你需要察言观色并改变自己的行为。)”是该场景下的自然结果，直接对应“read the room”的核心含义。 3．前文“You can tell someone else to read the room if he seems clueless about the mood of a group of people.( 如果某人似乎对一群人的情绪状态毫无头绪，你可以告诉别人去读懂现场。)”说“可以让不懂氛围的人去察言观色”，后文“Used in this way, it can either be funny or insulting — depending on the situation and how we say the phrase.( 以这种方式使用时，它既可以是有趣的，也可以是带有侮辱性的——这取决于具体情况以及我们如何表达这个短语。)”说这种说法可能有趣也可能冒犯。F选项“  It is a way to show that he is behaving inappropriately.( 这是一种表明他行为不当的方式。)”解释了这句话的潜台词，衔接前后逻辑。 4．后文“People are seated around a table enjoying good food and conversation. Then, your friend Betsy brings up a very serious topic like a historic battle where many people died. Suddenly the tone changes. The atmosphere goes from happy to serious. You could say, “Betsy, read the room! No one wants to talk about that now.”(人们围坐在一张桌子旁，享受着美味的食物和愉快的交谈。然后，你的朋友贝西提起了一个非常严肃的话题，比如一场导致许多人丧生的战役。突然间，语气发生了变化。气氛从欢快转为严肃。你可以这样说道：“贝西，观察一下现场的氛围！现在没人想谈论这个了。”)”完整描述了“晚宴上有人不合时宜提起严肃话题” 的具体场景。B 选项“Suppose you are at a dinner party.( 假设你正在参加一场晚宴。)”是场景的总起句，开启下文的举例。 5．前文“The expression “read the room” is all about being observant. (“读取现场氛围”这个表达主要是指善于观察。)”说“察言观色的核心是善于观察”，后文“People who can read the room know the right atmosphere, tone, and mood and are able to fit in.( 能够“读取现场氛围”的人了解恰当的氛围、语气和情绪，并且能够融入其中。)”说“会察言观色的人能融入环境”。A 选项“Reading the room is a skill.( 察言观色是一种技能。)”承上启下，将“善于观察”上升为可习得的能力，引出后文对该技能价值的说明。 Passage 2 (2025-2026·高三·湖南长沙名校联盟·二模) Every day, students move through school carrying not just textbooks but a collection of different identities.

But Dr. Harris believes chores aren’t just about keeping a clean home. 1 Assigning regular household duties can enhance children’s cognitive development. According to Dr. Harris, chores strengthen core management skills — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, change between tasks and manage time effectively. 2 . They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility. Chores can foster children’s independence and sense of responsibility at different ages. Younger children love to feel capable. Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence. 3 . Dr. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. When kids feel a sense of ownership, they’re more likely to follow through. And giving them a say in what they do can go a long way. 4 . “One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.” Of course, every minute of a typical family life today can be accounted for, leaving parents to wonder whether to insist on chores at all. Dr. Harris acknowledges this tension and encourages flexibility. “When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says. “ 5 .” Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time. A．Chores help children build confidence and empathy B．But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities C．These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood D．Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers E．Asking kids to help out around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits F．Chores can also support mental health, particularly for kids with anxiety or depression G．For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex such as helping cook meals 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．G 4．F 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述针对孩子是否需要做家务的问题，Harris博士提出做家务并非只为保持家居整洁，还能促进孩子认知发展、培养其独立性与责任感、助力心理健康，带来终身益处，同时建议家长结合生活实际灵活安排孩子做家务。 1．上文“Many families find themselves questioning whether there’s a need for their children to do chores at home. But Dr. Harris believes chores aren’t just about keeping a clean home.(许多家庭都会不禁思考，孩子是否有必要在家做家务。但哈里斯博士认为，做家务的意义远不止是保持家居整洁。)”指出做家务并非仅为保持家居整洁，后文分三段依次阐述做家务对孩子认知发展、独立与责任感培养、心理健康的多重益处。选项E“Asking kids to help out around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits(让孩子帮忙分担家务，能为其带来影响深远的终身益处。)”总领全文，符合逻辑，自然引出下文的具体论述。故选E。 2．上文“According to Dr. Harris, chores strengthen core management skills — the brain’s ability to plan, focus, change between tasks and manage time effectively.(哈里斯博士表示，做家务能锻炼孩子的核心管理能力，也就是大脑规划事务、集中注意力、切换任务以及高效管理时间的能力。)”明确提及做家务能强化孩子的核心管理技能；而下文“They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility.(孩子们的工作记忆会变得更强，情绪调节能力会更佳，思维也会更具灵活性。)”则进一步补充做家务带来的其他认知提升。选项D“Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers (经常做家务的孩子通常更善于自我管理。)”延续上文内容，指出做家务的好处，同时与下文内容一致，起到承上启下的衔接作用，逻辑连贯。故选D。 3．上文“Chores can foster children’s independence and sense of responsibility at different ages. Younger children love to feel capable. Cleaning up toys or wiping down and setting the table, simple tasks like these develop independence.(在孩子的不同成长阶段，做家务能培养他们的独立性与责任感。低龄儿童渴望感受到自己的能力，收拾玩具、擦桌子、摆餐具，这类简单的家务就能逐步培养他们的独立意识。)”指出本段主要讲述了做家务能在不同年龄段培养孩子的独立和责任感，而且介绍了低龄孩子的简单家务。选项G“For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex such as helping cook meals(对于年龄稍大的孩子和青少年，可安排难度更高的家务，比如帮忙做饭。)”衔接递进，转而讲述大龄儿童和青少年的复杂家务，清晰体现“按年龄梯度安排家务”的逻辑，与本段主旨高度契合。故选G。 4．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文““One symptom of depression is lack of motivation, and the best solution to that is activity,” Dr. Harris explains. “A set routine, even a small, manageable responsibility can help get kids moving and thinking.” In the case of anxiety, chores can offer a sense of control and predictability. “An anxious brain works well with structure,” she adds. “Doing something real and productive can ease distracting thoughts and provide a break from chaotic thoughts.”(哈里斯博士解释道：“抑郁症的一个典型症状是缺乏行动力，而应对这一问题的最佳办法，就是让孩子行动起来。固定的日常安排，哪怕只是一项小小的、力所能及的责任，都能推动孩子动起来、思考起来。”对于有焦虑情绪的孩子，做家务能让他们获得掌控感和可预知的安全感。她补充说：“处于焦虑中的大脑，在有条理的节奏中会更易平复，做一些实实在在、有实际价值的事，能抚平那些纷扰的思绪，让混乱的大脑得到片刻喘息。”)”可知，本段主要讲述了做家务能缓解孩子的抑郁、安抚焦虑。选项F“Chores can also support mental health, particularly for kids with anxiety or depression(做家务还能助力孩子的心理健康，尤其对有焦虑或抑郁情绪的孩子而言更是如此。)”精准概括本段核心内容；同时also体现与前文“认知发展、独立责任感培养”的并列递进关系，契合文章的分述逻辑。故选F。 5．上文““When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back,” she says.(她说：“生活忙碌时，暂缓让孩子做家务也无妨。”)”提及生活忙碌时，家长可以暂时不让孩子做家务；而下文“Actually, kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something when they have time.(事实上，孩子不必事事亲力亲为，但只要有时间，就该做些力所能及的家务。)”强调孩子不必事事做，但有时间时总要做些家务。选项B“But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities(但当生活有空闲时，就该抓住这些机会让孩子参与其中。)”中的“but”与前文形成转折，同时自然引出下文内容，符合逻辑。故选B。 主题02 人与自然——园艺种植 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭·二模) A beautiful flower garden begins with preparation. It is not just about choosing pretty flowers. 1 For beginners, this step is especially important. The steps below outline the key factors to consider before getting started. Know your site The first step in creating the perfect flower garden is to familiarize yourself with the area you want to plant. Landscape architect, Mary Ellen Cowan suggests, “Really know your site. 2 Be honest with light, moisture (水分) conditions, and the shape of the land.” Know your soil Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful flower garden. 3 One reliable way to do this is through a soil test. Erin Benzakein, owner of Floret Flower Farm, explains how to collect soil samples: Dig about one foot deep and take small amounts from different areas. Then send it to a testing lab for analysis. The results will help you decide how to improve your soil. Know your flowers Cowan also says, “Learn what plants grow well in your soil. 4 ” Carol Bornstein, expert at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, recommends “visiting nearby natural areas that mimic (与……相似) your conditions in the wild to discover the flowers that you like”. Know your limitations In her book, A Beautiful and Easy-Care Flower Garden, Stacy Ling reminds us to “think through your lifestyle before you design, plant, and decorate your garden spaces. Every spring it’s tempting to want to do it all, but be realistic with how much time you have available to maintain your garden. 5 ” A．You can always add more next year. B．You should understand your garden first. C．The plants will fill in faster and cut down on weeds. D．On this basis, you can figure out what to plant wisely.

We live in a world of overwhelming (过多的) choices. 1 Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. When you can’t make decisions with certainty, you waste precious time and energy. Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. 2 This will determine your decision-making strategy. When it comes down to it, you only really face three types of decisions in life: no-stakes, low-stakes and high-stakes. Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. 3 A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. With thousands of shows, it is easy to get confused. However, no matter what you pick, there are no consequences. The key is to outsource them to the universe. For instance, you can narrow your choices to just two and then flip (抛) the coin. Then come the low-stakes decisions. These have risks, but none are earth-shattering, and there are plenty of acceptable outcomes. Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. 4 Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. 5 These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects, you absolutely want to get it right. Start by picking out a front-runner, and then compare each of your options with the front-runner, one by one. Each time, choose the better of the two and abandon the other one. Now repeat the process until you get down to one final choice. A．These are minor details of life. B．Here is the tip to avoid FOBO. C．This time you outsource to a person. D．You first have to think about the stakes. E．Technology has only made the problem more complicated. F．Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. G．Your personal and professional life will be negatively influenced. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍 FOBO（更好选择恐惧症）的定义、影响，以及针对不同风险等级的决策给出具体应对方法。 1．细节理解题。根据上文“FOBO is short for “Fear of a Better Option” We live in a world of overwhelming choices. (FOBO 是 更好选择恐惧症”的缩写，我们生活在一个选择过多的世界里)”和下文“Even the decisions that used to be simple, like choosing a restaurant or making everyday purchasing, are now filled with comparisons because of it. (即使是过去很简单的决定，比如选择餐厅或日常采购，现在也因为它而充满了比较)” 可知，空格处需衔接“选择过多”和 “简单决定变得复杂”，E选项“Technology has only made the problem more complicated. (科技只会让这个问题变得更复杂)”中的 the problem指代前文“选择过多”的问题，且more complicated与后文“简单决定充满比较”相呼应，符合语境。故选E项。 2．细节理解题。根据上文“Luckily, there are ways to overcome FOBO. (幸运的是，有方法可以克服更好选择恐惧症。)” 和下文“This will determine your decision-making strategy. (这将决定你的决策策略)”可知，空格处需引出克服FOBO的方法，且与“决策策略”相关，D选项“You first have to think about the stakes. (你首先必须考虑风险)”既承接前文的“克服方法”，又为后文“根据风险分类决策”做铺垫，符合语境。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据上文“Let’s start with no-stakes decisions. (我们从无风险决策开始)”和下文“A good example of this is choosing what to watch on TV. (一个很好的例子就是选择看什么电视节目)”可知，空格处需解释“无风险决策”的特点，A选项“These are minor details of life. (这些都是生活中的小细节)”中的these指代前文的“无风险决策”，且“小细节”与后文“看电视节目”的例子相匹配，符合语境。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据上文“Many routine things at work, like purchasing a printer, or booking a hotel, are classically low-stakes in nature. (工作中许多日常事务，比如购买打印机或预订酒店，本质上都是典型的低风险决策)”和下文“Set some basic criteria, select someone to present a suggestion, and take his advice. (制定一些基本标准，选择一个人提出建议，并采纳他的意见)”可知，空格处需衔接“低风险决策”和“采纳他人建议”，C选项“This time you outsource to a person. (这次你可以把决策委托给别人)”中的outsource to a person与后文select someone to present a suggestion相呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 5．细节理解题。根据下文“These are things like “which house should I buy” or “which job should I accept”. Since the stakes are high and there are long-term effects (这些事情比如“我应该买哪套房子”或“我应该接受哪份工作”，因为风险高且有长期影响)”结合前文先介绍无风险、再介绍低风险的逻辑可知，本段介绍的是“高风险决策”，F选项“Now you have the space and time to handle high-stakes decisions. (现在你有空间和时间来处理高风险决策了)”既承接前文的决策分类，又引出本段的高风险决策，符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 2 (2026·高三·湖南湘潭市一中·二模) To figure out how to choose a career, start by taking a good look at yourself. Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires (线). 1 From there, you’ll narrow the field further by looking at the specifics of different career options you’re most suited for. List your skills and talents. No matter who you are, there are plenty of things you’re good at. You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. 2 Don’t leave out any of them, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. Identify your passions and mission. If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you. 3 To keep commitment (投入) over a long time, you also need a deeper purpose. This purpose defines your mission: the contribution you want to make and the results you try to see. 4 Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you? What kind of environment do you excel in? If you’ve managed to get through everything above and have a clear answer for what you’re wired to do, congratulations! If you’re still unsure, that’s okay. 5 There’s only so much career shopping you can do before you have to just go for it. A．Consider the challenges you may meet. B．Think about practical parts of a job. C．However, passion alone isn’t enough. D．You don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime. E．These are all hints that tell you what your strengths are. F．They combine to form a picture of what you’re wired to do. G．Your mission will follow if you’re passionate about your work. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何选择职业的建议，包括罗列技能天赋、明确热情与使命、考虑工作实际因素等，以帮助读者逐步明确适合自己的职业方向。 1．根据上文“Your talents, your passions and your mission are like the small wires (线). (你的天赋、热情和使命就像细小的线)”以及下文“From there, you’ll narrow the field further by looking at the specifics of different career options you’re most suited for. (在此基础上，你可以通过了解最适合自己的不同职业选择的细节，进一步缩小范围)”可知，上文将才能、热情和使命比作细小的线，下文说应了解职业选择的细节以缩小选择范围，F选项“They combine to form a picture of what you’re wired to do. (它们结合在一起，勾勒出你天生适合做什么的蓝图)”中的“They”指代上文“talents, passions and mission”，“combine to form a picture”呼应“like the small wires”的比喻，将分散的自我特质整合为“适合做什么”的清晰方向，为下文“缩小职业选择范围”提供依据，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 2．根据上文“You might know what those talents are already, but go ahead and make a list of every one that comes to mind. (你可能已经知道自己有哪些天赋，但还是要把能想到的都列出来)”以及下文“Don’t leave out any of them, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. (不要遗漏任何一项，即使你认为它算不上职业技能)”可知，上文建议列出自己的天赋，下文说注意不要遗漏，E选项“These are all hints that tell you what your strengths are. (这些都是能告诉你自身优势所在的线索)”中的“These”指代上文“list of every one (天赋清单)”，“hints that tell you what your strengths are”解释了罗列天赋的意义，即发现自身优势，与下文“不遗漏任何一项”的建议相呼应，强调每个天赋对职业选择的参考价值。故选E项。 3．根据上文“If you’re going to find a meaningful career, passion isn’t just a pipe dream but a must. It means the work will fulfill you. (若想找到有意义的职业，热情并非白日梦，而是必需品。它意味着这份工作能让你获得满足感)”以及下文“To keep commitment (投入) over a long time, you also need a deeper purpose. This purpose defines your mission: the contribution you want to make and the results you try to see. (要长期保持投入，你还需要一个更深层次的目标。这个目标定义了你的使命：你想要做出的贡献以及你努力想要看到的成果)”可知，上文强调了热情的重要性，下文指出为了长时间保持投入，还需要更深层次的目标，C选项“However, passion alone isn’t enough. (然而，仅有热情是不够的)”通过“However”转折，承认热情的重要性，同时引出下文“更深层次的目标使命”，“isn’t enough”与下文“also need”形成逻辑递进，完善“有意义的职业需兼具热情与使命”的观点。故选C项。 4．根据下文“Matters like how much money you want to make and where you want to live are important too. Think about these questions to narrow down your options: How much money do you need to make? Do you want flexibility in your job? What kind of benefits are important to you?

(在你必须付诸行动之前，你能做的职业探索是有限的)”可知，上文说如果对职业选择不确定也没关系，下文说职业探索时间有限，必须要付诸行动，D选项“You don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime. (你不必非要在短时间内弄明白这件事)”承接上文，进一步说明不必急于弄清楚职业选择，用“don’t have to have this figured out by dinnertime”缓解焦虑，同时与下文“职业探索有限，需付诸行动”形成平衡，指出“既不能着急，也不要拖延”，逻辑通顺。故选D项。 Passage 3 (2026·高三·湖南常德·二模) We’ve engineered our lives to be frictionless or effortless, from one-tap grocery delivery to AI assistants that draft our emails. 1 Actually, struggles, frustrations and things like these in our life can be good things. They’re building something important. Here’s why we need friction in our life. Struggle builds resilience (韧性). No amount of AI or convenience can eliminate failure, heartbreak or disappointment from life. What protects us in life isn’t avoiding pain or failure, but knowing, from experience, that we can survive it. Resilience isn’t something you download or automate. 2 Skip those experiences, and you never develop the resilience for the really hard stuff. Inconvenience strengthens memory. 3 We tend to forget facts more easily when they are not stored along with an emotional memory. This explains why you recall every detail of that epic road trip where everything went wrong, but barely remember last year’s perfectly organized vacation. 4 It is essential for connection. Some friction in a relationship — like a disagreement we need to negotiate — is what develops the connection. And remember being bored as a kid? Actually, boredom is the nursery of originality. If we constantly fill each momentary gap with scrolling (滚屏), we never allow our minds to enter the quiet time where new ideas occur. So, choose to stay engaged with our own life, even when there’s an easier way out. Let’s take this message to heart: 5 A．Friction is where the living happens. B．AI doesn’t just assist us to save time. C．Problem-solving trains your reasoning ability. D．Pain deepens relationships and stimulates creativity. E．It’s something the brain earns through lived experiences. F．Without emotional processing, we can’t remember things well. G．But experts say all that convenience might be making us worse off. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．F 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述生活中存在的“摩擦”（如困境、不便）并非坏事，它们能帮助我们培养韧性、强化记忆、增进关系并激发创造力。 1．根据前文“We’ve engineered our lives to be frictionless or effortless, from one-tap grocery delivery to AI assistants that draft our emails.(我们将生活设计得毫无摩擦或毫不费力，从一键送达杂货到起草邮件的AI助手。)”以及后文“Actually, struggles, frustrations and things like these in our life can be good things.(事实上，生活中的挣扎、挫折等这些事情可能是好事。)”可知，前文描述了生活的便利，此空应转折指出这种便利可能带来的负面影响，G选项“But experts say all that convenience might be making us worse off.(但专家表示，所有这些便利可能正让我们变得更糟。)”承上启下，符合语境。故选G项。 2．根据前文“Resilience isn’t something you download or automate.(韧性不是你能下载或自动化的东西。)”可知，前文强调韧性的非程序化，此空应进一步说明韧性的来源，E选项“It’s something the brain earns through lived experiences.(它是大脑通过生活经历获得的东西。)”承接前文，解释韧性的本质，符合语境。故选E项。 3．根据前文“Inconvenience strengthens memory.(不便能强化记忆。)”以及后文“We tend to forget facts more easily when they are not stored along with an emotional memory.(当事实没有与情感记忆一起存储时，我们更容易忘记它们。)”可知，此空应解释不便与记忆强化之间的关系，F选项“Without emotional processing, we can’t remember things well.(没有情感的参与，我们就记不住事情。)”衔接前后文，说明情感对记忆的作用，符合语境。故选F项。 4．分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，与其他段落结构一致，根据空后“It is essential for connection. Some friction in a relationship — like a disagreement we need to negotiate — is what develops the connection. And remember being bored as a kid? Actually, boredom is the nursery of originality.(它对于联结至关重要。关系中的一些摩擦——比如我们需要协商的分歧——是培养联结的关键。还记得小时候的无聊吗？事实上，无聊是创造力的温床。)”可知，本段讲述摩擦（不便）对关系和创造力的作用，D选项“Pain deepens relationships and stimulates creativity.(痛苦能加深关系并激发创造力。)”为祈使句，能概括本段主题，适合作小标题。故选D项。 5．根据前文“So, choose to stay engaged with our own life, even when there’s an easier way out. Let’s take this message to heart:(所以，即使有更简单的出路，也要选择全身心投入自己的生活。让我们把这个信息记在心里：)”可知，此空应是总结性的观点句，点明生活中摩擦的价值，A选项“Friction is where the living happens.(摩擦是生活发生的地方。)”总结全文，升华主题，符合语境。故选A项。 Passage 4 (2026·高三·湖南长郡中学·校考二模) I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. 1 I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine (咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. 2 That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. 3 On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. 4 On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. 5 Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A．But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B．This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C．Some mornings were more reflective than active. D．It made me realize my dependence on my phone. E．I even finished a chapter before checking the time. F．That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. G．It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．B 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过一周无手机早晨的实践，摆脱刷屏成瘾，重获内心平静的经历。 1．由上文“Doomscrolling (刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine.(刷屏成瘾已经成为我每天早晨的例行习惯。)”及下文“I started each day tense and anxious.(我每天开始的时候都很紧张和焦虑。)”可知，上文说明刷屏成瘾已经成为作者的日常习惯，下文说明作者每天开始的时候都很紧张和焦虑，本空应说明作者注意到了刷屏成瘾带来的负面影响。A选项“But lately, I noticed the weight it carried.(但最近，我注意到了它带来的负担。)”能承上启下，符合语境。故选A。 2．由上文“But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier.(但读了几页后，我发现自己真的很放松——不是刷屏带来的空虚，而是更稳定的感觉。)”可知，上文说明作者读书时获得了更稳定的感觉，本空应说明作者读书时的其他感受。E选项“I even finished a chapter before checking the time.(我甚至在查看时间之前读完了一章。)”能承接上文，符合语境。故选E。 3．由上文“The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective.(第二天我尝试了冷水澡。我想要一些能让我完全清醒的东西。冲击因素非常有效。)”可知，上文说明作者尝试了冷水澡，且冷水澡的冲击因素非常有效，本空应说明冷水澡对作者的影响。B选项“This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward.(这让我事后头脑异常清醒。)”中This指代上文提及的冷水澡，能承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 4．由下文“On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding.(星期四，我写日记。没有观众，只有纸上的想法。这感觉很诚实，即使不是特别令人兴奋。星期五，我重读了一封旧信，让回忆浮现。它很安静，平淡无奇，让人脚踏实地。)”可知，下文说明作者在星期四和星期五的活动，这两天的活动偏安静、沉思，不像前几天运动那样活跃，本空应引出下文，说明有些早晨作者更倾向于反思。C选项“Some mornings were more reflective than active.(有些早晨更适合反思而不是活动。)”能引出下文，符合语境。故选C。 5．由上文“By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened.(到周末的时候，我想看手机的冲动已经减弱了。)”可知，本段总结一周不看手机的成果，本空应说明这种变化带来的具体表现。F选项“That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking.(这意味着我醒来后不再抓手机了。)”能承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 主题02 人与社会——社会心理 Passage 1 (2026·高三·湖南岳阳·二模) There’s a long-standing belief that ostriches (鸵鸟) like to “bury” their heads in the sand when they face danger. This idea has long been proved false-ostriches don’t actually do this. Ironically, however, humans often behave in exactly this way. Many people deliberately choose not to know certain things: avoiding bad news, ignoring uncomfortable truths, or postponing unpleasant updates. This “the less I know, the better” mindset is surprisingly common in adults but has an unclear origin-children are naturally curious, constantly asking questions. 1 A 2025 study published in Psychological Science set out to answer this question. Researchers studied information avoidance and tested children aged 5 to 10 in scenarios where they could choose to seek or avoid information. As expected, younger children were highly curious and eager to learn, even if they later made selfish choices. 2 Researchers explained that as children grow older, they care more about appearing fair. By avoiding information, they create “moral wiggle room” (道德回旋余地) to act selfishly while still seeming moral. 3 First, people avoid information to protect themselves from negative emotions. Second, it helps them preserve a positive self-image. Third, it allows them to act in their own self-interest without feeling guilty. These patterns continue into adulthood. While ignorance may bring temporary comfort, it often leads to serious long-term costs. Avoiding health checks, ignoring relationship problems, or dismissing social issues can all result in lasting harm. 4 Early avoidance in childhood can even contribute to broader social challenges. Repeatedly avoiding uncomfortable ideas can lead to ideological rigidity. 5 This “developmental paradox” — from curious explorers to “ostriches” — shapes our choices and limits our growth. A．So how to stay curious as adults? B．So when and why do we become selectively ignorant? C．However, older children increasingly avoid information, acting selfishly. D．The study identified three main motivations behind information avoidance. E．Ignoring climate change may feel safe, but threatens long-term global stability. F．In the end, the short-term relief pales in comparison to the long-term consequences. G．As research shows, this shift creates a “developmental paradox” with lifelong effects. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．F 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了鸵鸟埋头避险的说法不实，但人类常刻意回避负面信息。研究表明该现象随年龄出现，源于心理自保，虽获短暂安慰，却会造成长远危害。 1．根据上文“Many people deliberately choose not to know certain things: avoiding bad news, ignoring uncomfortable truths, or postponing unpleasant updates. This “the less I know, the better” mindset is surprisingly common in adults but has an unclear origin-children are naturally curious, constantly asking questions.(许多人会刻意选择不去了解某些事情：避免面对坏消息、忽略令人不安的事实，或者推迟接受不愉快的告知。这种“知道得越少越好”的心态在成年人中相当普遍，但其起源却并不明确——儿童天生就充满好奇心，会不断提出问题)”可知，前文对比孩子天生好奇、成人却刻意回避信息，设空处提出疑问衔接下文研究。B项“那么我们何时、为何会变得选择性无知？”契合。故选B。 2．根据上文“A 2025 study published in Psychological Science set out to answer this question. Researchers studied information avoidance and tested children aged 5 to 10 in scenarios where they could choose to seek or avoid information. As expected, younger children were highly curious and eager to learn, even if they later made selfish choices.( 2025年发表于《心理科学》杂志的一项研究旨在解答这一问题。研究人员对信息回避现象进行了研究，并对5至10岁的儿童进行了相关测试，测试情境中他们可以选择获取信息或回避信息。正如预期的那样，年幼的孩子们非常好奇且渴望学习，即便他们后来做出了自私的选择)”以及后文“Researchers explained that as children grow older, they care more about appearing fair. By avoiding information, they create “moral wiggle room” (道德回旋余地) to act selfishly while still seeming moral.(研究人员解释说，随着孩子年龄的增长，他们越发在意自己的外表是否显得“公正”。他们通过隐瞒信息来营造出“道德余地”（即在看似道德的同时能够做出自私行为的空间）)”可知，前文讲年幼孩子充满好奇，后文解释年长孩子的心理变化。C项“然而，年龄较大的孩子愈发回避信息、行事自私”形成转折衔接。故选C。 3．根据后文“First, people avoid information to protect themselves from negative emotions. Second, it helps them preserve a positive self-image. Third, it allows them to act in their own self-interest without feeling guilty. These patterns continue into adulthood.(首先，人们会避免获取相关信息，以保护自己免受负面情绪的影响。其次，这有助于他们维持积极的自我形象。第三，这使他们能够出于自身利益行事而不会感到内疚。这些模式会一直延续到成年时期)”可知，下文用First/Second/Third列举三大原因，D项“该研究指出了信息回避的三个主要动机”总领段落。故选D。 4．根据上文“While ignorance may bring temporary comfort, it often leads to serious long-term costs. Avoiding health checks, ignoring relationship problems, or dismissing social issues can all result in lasting harm.(虽然无知可能会带来一时的慰藉，但它往往会带来严重的长期后果。逃避健康检查、忽视人际关系问题或者对社会问题视而不见，都可能导致持久的伤害)”可知，前文指出逃避只会造成长期伤害，F项“最终，短期的宽慰在长期后果面前微不足道”承接总结。故选F。 5．根据后文“This “developmental paradox” — from curious explorers to “ostriches” — shapes our choices and limits our growth.(这种“发展悖论”——从好奇的探索者到“鸵鸟心态”——影响着我们的选择，并限制了我们的成长)”可知，后文复现关键词 developmental paradox，G项“有研究表明，这种转变造成了一个“发展悖论”，并会产生长期影响”承接上文观念僵化，引出这种发展悖论及其影响。故选G。 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
