专题05 阅读理解（七选五） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2025·广东汕头市·二模） Globalization has led to a sort of “melting pot” phenomenon. People from different cultures are coming together like never before. Take food, for instance. You can find sushi in São Paulo, tacos in Tokyo, and pizza in Pakistan. It’s amazing, right? But there’s another side. 1 Their unique traditions might start to disappear. 2 TV shows, movies, and music are consumed worldwide. But is this leading to cultural homogenization (均匀化) ? Are we all starting to dress, talk, and act the same way? It’s a worrying thought. But on the other hand, media can also provide a platform for diverse voices. Language is another hot topic when it comes to globalization. English has become the lingua franca (通用语) of the world. 3 But what does this mean for other languages? Some linguists estimate that half of the world’s more than 6000 languages will have disappeared by the end of this century. That is what really needs our attention. Education is also hugely impacted by globalization. Students are no longer limited to their local schools or universities. 4 This leads to a more global perspective, but it also means that educational standards are becoming more uniform. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? So, what’s the conclusion on globalization and its impact on culture? Well, it’s complicated. There are definitely benefits—increased diversity, greater understanding, and more opportunities for cultural exchange. But there are also disadvantages—cultural homogenization, loss of traditional practices, and the threat of a global monoculture. 5 Globalization isn’t a one-way street. It’s a process of giving and taking, of integrating and borrowing. And it’s up to us to shape it in a way that preserves the best of our cultures and also accepts the new. A．The key is to accept the complexity. B．They are influenced by globalization. C．They can study anywhere in the world. D．Small, local cultures might feel threatened. E．Media plays a huge role in cultural globalization. F．It’s the language of business, science, and the internet. G．However, the spread of English can also contribute to global issues. 【答案】1．D 2．E 3．F 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了全球化带来的“大熔炉”现象，从食物、媒体、语言、教育等方面分析了全球化的利弊，指出全球化对文化的影响是复杂的，既有积极的方面如增加多样性、促进理解和文化交流，也有消极的方面如文化同质化、传统习俗丧失和全球单一文化的威胁。 1．根据下文“Their unique traditions might start to disappear.(他们独特的传统可能开始消失)”可知，下文说的是他们独特的传统可能开始消失，可推理出此处说的是一些文化面临的不好的情况。D选项“Small, local cultures might feel threatened(小的、当地的文化可能会感到受到威胁)”表达的含义符合语境，说明小的当地文化因为全球化独特传统可能消失而受到威胁，故选D项。 2．根据下文“TV shows, movies, and music are consumed worldwide. But is this leading to cultural homogenization (均匀化) ?(电视节目、电影和音乐在全世界范围内被消费。但这会导致文化同质化吗？)”可知，下文说的是电视节目、电影和音乐等媒体在全世界范围内被消费，可推理出此段围绕电视节目、电影和音乐等媒体在文化方面的影响展开。E选项“Media plays a huge role in cultural globalization(媒体在文化全球化中起着巨大的作用)”表达的含义能够概括段落主旨，故选E项。 3．根据上文“English has become the lingua franca (通用语) of the world(英语已经成为世界通用语言)”可知，上文提到了英语已经成为世界通用语言，可推理出空白处应进一步说明英语作为通用语言的具体体现。F选项“It’s the language of business, science, and the internet(它是商业、科学和互联网的语言)”表达的含义符合语境，具体阐述了英语在哪些领域作为通用语言使用，承接上文对英语成为通用语的描述，故选F项。 4．根据上文“Students are no longer limited to their local schools or universities(学生不再局限于当地的学校或大学)”可知，上文说的是学生的学习地点不再局限于当地的学校或大学，可推理出此处应说明学生现在在学习地点上的变化。C选项“They can study anywhere in the world(他们可以在世界任何地方学习)”承接上文，进一步说明了学生不再受地域限制，可以在世界各地学习，符合语境，故选C项。 5．根据上文“Well, it’s complicated. There are definitely benefits — increased diversity, greater understanding, and more opportunities for cultural exchange. But there are also disadvantages — cultural homogenization, loss of traditional practices, and the threat of a global monoculture(嗯，这很复杂。肯定有好处——增加多样性、增进理解以及更多的文化交流机会。但也有缺点——文化同质化、传统习俗的丧失以及全球单一文化的威胁)”可知，全球化对文化的影响是复杂的，有好处也有坏处，可推理出下文说的是我们既要接受它的好处，也要接受它的坏处，A选项“The key is to accept the complexity(关键是要接受这种复杂性)”符合语境，总结了上文全球化影响的复杂性，并引出下文关于如何应对全球化的内容，即要以既能保留我们文化中最好的部分又能接受新事物的方式来塑造全球化，故选A项。 Passage 2 （2025·广东普宁市第二中学·二模） Sweden or Switzerland? Every year,120,000 people ask Google whether they are the same country. Sweden’s tourist board has decided it is time to make it clear that the nation is not, in fact, the same country as Switzerland. According to Visit Sweden, the two countries are constantly being mixed up. 1 Here’s how you can tell the difference between the two European countries. Visit Sweden’s campaign video is titled “Welcome to Sweden” In the video, an official representative standing between two Swedish flags addresses the “leaders and citizens of Switzerland”. 2 Switzerland can talk about mountain tops, yodeling (约德尔唱法) and watches, for example, while Sweden is all about rooftop bars, silence and forgetting about time. “As long as both tourism organizations stick to this division in all communication with the outside world, the confusion should come to an end.” Sweden proposes. 3 If you like historic banks, head to Switzerland, but if you prefer walking down beaches and sandbanks, you should visit Sweden, the tourist board says. In Switzerland, you can “enjoy some spectacular light shows made with projections and LEDs,” Visit Sweden says, but “in Sweden there’s no need for electricity to put on a show.” 4 Finally, the tourist board reminds visitors that while Switzerland is a country of “many interesting sounds” like yodeling and cowbells, 5 A．It has its own natural spectacle — the Northern Lights. B．To clarify this, the tourist board has launched a humorous new campaign. C．Visit Sweden has also detailed some ways to distinguish the two countries. D．Sweden is a place with its natural beauty, making itself spectacular and peaceful. E．She thinks we can tell one from the other the way the people of the two countries live. F．She declares it’s time to clarify the two nations’ distinctions by “who talks about what”. G．Sweden is a place of peace and quiet where the soundscapes will help you “wind down”. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．C 4．A 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍瑞典旅游局为澄清瑞典和瑞士常被混淆的情况，推出幽默新宣传活动，并详细说明了区分两国的一些方法。 1．上文“According to Visit Sweden, the two countries are constantly being mixed up.(据瑞典旅游局称，这两个国家经常被混淆)”指出瑞典和瑞士常被混淆的问题，B选项“To clarify this, the tourist board has launched a humorous new campaign.(为了澄清这一点，旅游局推出了一个幽默的新宣传活动)”针对上文问题提出解决方案，即推出新活动来澄清混淆，上下文逻辑紧密。故选B项。 2．上文“In the video, an official representative standing between two Swedish flags addresses the “leaders and citizens of Switzerland”.(在视频中，一位站在两面瑞典国旗之间的官方代表向“瑞士的领导人和公民”发表讲话)”描述了视频中的场景，F选项“She declares it’s time to clarify the two nations’ distinctions by “who talks about what”.(她宣称是时候通过“谁谈论什么”来澄清两国的区别了)”承接上文，说明代表讲话的内容是要澄清两国区别，上下文衔接自然。故选F项。 3．下文“If you like historic banks, head to Switzerland, but if you prefer walking down beaches and sandbanks, you should visit Sweden, the tourist board says.(旅游局表示，如果你喜欢历史悠久的银行，就去瑞士，但如果你喜欢沿着海滩和沙洲散步，你应该去瑞典)”具体说明了区分去瑞典和瑞士旅游的不同选择，C选项“Visit Sweden has also detailed some ways to distinguish the two countries.(瑞典旅游局还详细说明了一些区分这两个国家的方法)”引出下文具体的区分方法，上下文逻辑合理。故选C项。 4．上文“in Sweden there’s no need for electricity to put on a show.(在瑞典，不需要电力来举办一场表演)”提到瑞典无需电力的表演，A选项“It has its own natural spectacle—the Northern Lights.(它有自己的自然奇观——北极光)”解释了无需电力的表演是什么，即北极光这一自然奇观，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 5．上文“Finally, the tourist board reminds visitors that while Switzerland is a country of “many interesting sounds” like yodeling and cowbells(最后，旅游局提醒游客，虽然瑞士是一个有“许多有趣声音”的国家，如约德尔唱法和牛铃声)”介绍了瑞士的声音特点，G选项“Sweden is a place of peace and quiet where the soundscapes will help you “wind down”.(瑞典是一个宁静祥和的地方，那里的音景会帮助你“放松下来”)”对比说明瑞典的声音特点是宁静，与上文形成对比，上下文逻辑清晰。故选G项。 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2026·广东湛江市·二模） When we think about bees and flowers, we usually picture bees flying around beautiful flowers, busy collecting nectar (花蜜). 1 But what if flowers are using their own senses too? Can flowers actually hear bees? Recent scientific research suggests they might, and the way flowers respond to bee sounds is fascinating. Scientists have long known flowers attract bees with colors and sweet smells. But new research has shown that flowers might also be tuning into the sounds that bees make. Bees, when they fly and search for food, produce gentle buzzing sounds (嗡嗡声). For a long time, scientists didn’t think these soft sounds mattered much to plants. 2 In a pioneering study, researchers discovered that some flowers respond to the buzzing of bees by producing sweeter nectar. That means flowers can attract bees visually and through smell. 3 This incredible finding opens up a new understanding of the complex interactions between flowers and bees. But how can a flower hear? Plants don’t have ears like animals, so they must be doing something different. Researchers believe that flowers pick up vibrations (振动) from sound waves. These vibrations move through the air and touch flowers, causing tiny movements that plants can sense. 4 In the same way, flowers might vibrate slightly in response to bee sounds, signaling the plant to produce sweeter nectar. 5 Plants often react to other environmental clues, like sunlight, wind, and touch. Responding to sound waves may just be another clever way that plants adapt to their surroundings and communicate with their partners. A．This is similar to pulling a guitar string. B．Bees are also rewarded for buzzing nearby. C．This type of sensing is not unusual in nature. D．Bees use their sight and smell to find flowers. E．However, recent experiments suggest otherwise. F．The sweeter the nectar is, the happier the bees are. G．On the contrary, bees know what sounds plants prefer. 【答案】1．D 2．E 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现花朵能感知蜜蜂的嗡嗡声，通过声波振动产生更甜的花蜜，这种感知能力在自然界并不罕见，也让人们对花蜂互动有了新认知。 1．前文“When we think about bees and flowers, we usually picture bees flying around beautiful flowers, busy collecting nectar (花蜜). (当我们想到蜜蜂和花朵时，通常会想象蜜蜂在美丽的花朵周围飞舞，忙碌地采集花蜜。)”描述蜜蜂采蜜的场景，后文“But what if flowers are using their own senses too? Can flowers actually hear bees? ( 但倘若花朵也有自己的感知能力呢？花朵真的能听到蜜蜂的声音吗？)”转折提出“花朵也有感官、能听见蜜蜂”，D项“Bees use their sight and smell to find flowers.(蜜蜂依靠视觉和嗅觉来寻找花朵。)”先说明蜜蜂依靠视觉和嗅觉寻找花朵，形成前后逻辑衔接，符合语境。故选D项。 2．前文“For a long time, scientists didn’t think these soft sounds mattered much to plants.( 长期以来，科学家们认为这些轻微的声音对植物来说并不重要。)”提到科学家长期认为蜜蜂的嗡嗡声对植物无关紧要，后文“In a pioneering study, researchers discovered that some flowers respond to the buzzing of bees by producing sweeter nectar.(在一项开创性的研究中，研究人员发现，一些花朵会因蜜蜂的嗡嗡声而分泌出更甜的花蜜。)”介绍新研究发现花朵会对蜜蜂声音做出反应，E项“However, recent experiments suggest otherwise.( 然而，最近的实验结果却与此相反。)”表转折，引出相反的实验结论，衔接自然。故选E项。 3．前文“In a pioneering study, researchers discovered that some flowers respond to the buzzing of bees by producing sweeter nectar. That means flowers can attract bees visually and through smell.( 在一项开创性的研究中，研究人员发现，一些花朵会因蜜蜂的嗡嗡声而分泌出更甜的花蜜。这意味着花朵可以通过视觉和气味来吸引蜜蜂。)”指出花朵听到蜜蜂声音会产出更甜的花蜜，B项“Bees are also rewarded for buzzing nearby.( 蜜蜂在附近嗡嗡作响也会得到奖励。)”承接“更甜的花蜜”这一内容，说明花蜜甜度对蜜蜂的影响，与后文“这一发现刷新认知”形成连贯逻辑。故选B项。 4．前文“These vibrations move through the air and touch flowers, causing tiny movements that plants can sense.( 这些振动在空气中传播并作用于花朵，引发微小的运动，而植物能够感知到这些运动。)”说明花朵能感知声波带来的振动，后文用“In the same way(同样地)”类比花朵的振动反应，A项“This is similar to pulling a guitar string.( 这与拉动吉他弦的过程类似。)”以拨吉他弦作类比，契合上下文的类比逻辑。故选A项。 5．后文“Plants often react to other environmental clues, like sunlight, wind, and touch.( 植物通常会对其他环境线索做出反应，比如阳光、风和触碰。)”提到植物还会对阳光、风、触摸等环境信号做出反应，C项“This type of sensing is not unusual in nature.( 这种感知在自然界中并不罕见。)”指出这种感知能力在自然界并不罕见，总起后文内容，衔接顺畅。故选C项。 Passage 2 （2026·广东广州市天河区·二模） An impact study is a research done on a certain topic to determine if a certain action would, or is having some sort of effect on its environment or other related issues. The most common type of this study may be an environmental impact study, but there are many other types as well. 1 In an environmental impact study, extensive research may be done before building a road in a certain area. One of the steps may include determining how water runoff may be affected and if there are any vulnerable (脆弱的) streams around. 2 Any found to be in danger could affect the project. While it may seem like a small task, this often not only includes mammals and birds, but insects as well. 3 There have been cases where the unlikeliest of things have held up major developments. For example, the entire highway projects have been put on hold because of a certain species of endangered butterflies in an area. This demonstrates how thorough some of these studies can be. Another type of impact study can also be used to judge an educational program. For example, the impact of the Head Start preschool program in the United States was analyzed to determine if Head Start students do any better than students of similar circumstances who do not have access to the same program. 4 5 In some cases where the negative impact can be reduced by benefits, there may be a net gain to the area. In other cases, the study may indicate ways the negative effects can be minimized. A．A project may still continue despite what an impact study finds. B．An impact study could determine whether or not a project is completed. C．Another aspect could be a survey of plant and animal species in the area. D．It goes without saying that a thorough impact study helps to solve a problem. E．The study will provide evidence for decision-makers to continue the programs. F．The results may be used to decide how much funding such programs will deserve. G．These studies pull data from multiple sources and examine different aspects of the issue. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了“影响研究”的定义、类型和实际价值。 1．前文“An impact study is a research done on a certain topic to determine if a certain action would, or is having some sort of effect on its environment or other related issues. The most common type of this study may be an environmental impact study, but there are many other types as well.(影响研究是对某一特定主题进行的一项调查，旨在确定某一行动是否会对其所处的环境或其他相关问题产生某种影响。这类研究中最常见的类型可能是环境影响评估，但还有其他多种类型)”总体介绍影响研究的定义和分类，G选“这些研究从多来源获取数据，考察问题的不同方面”承接对影响研究的总述，引出下文具体介绍，符合逻辑。故选G。 2．前文“One of the steps may include determining how water runoff may be affected and if there are any vulnerable (脆弱的) streams around.(其中一个步骤可能包括确定水流的排放情况是否会受到影响，以及周边是否有易受损害的溪流)”讲环境影响研究的一个步骤——检测径流和溪流，后文“Any found to be in danger could affect the project. While it may seem like a small task, this often not only includes mammals and birds, but insects as well.(任何被认为处于危险中的物种都可能对项目造成影响。虽然这看起来可能只是一项小任务，但实际上它不仅包括哺乳动物和鸟类，还包括昆虫)”提到哺乳动物、鸟类、昆虫等生物，C选项“另一项内容是调查区域内的动植物物种”符合语境，C项提到的“动植物物种”正好对应后文提到的各类生物。故选C。 3．后文“There have been cases where the unlikeliest of things have held up major developments. For example, the entire highway projects have been put on hold because of a certain species of endangered butterflies in an area. This demonstrates how thorough some of these studies can be.(曾有情况表明，最不可能发生的事情却阻碍了重大项目的推进。例如，整个高速公路建设项目都因某一地区某种濒危蝴蝶的存在而被暂停。这表明这些研究的细致程度是相当高的)”举例说明大型工程会因为濒危物种暂停，体现影响研究对项目去向的决定作用，B选项“影响研究可以决定项目能否推进完成”正好引出这个例子，符合逻辑。故选B。 4．前文“Another type of impact study can also be used to judge an educational program. For example, the impact of the Head Start preschool program in the United States was analyzed to determine if Head Start students do any better than students of similar circumstances who do not have access to the same program.(另一种类型的评估研究也可用于评判教育项目。例如，对美国“开端计划”学前教育项目的成效进行了分析，以确定接受该计划的学生是否比那些处于类似环境但未参与该计划的学生表现得更好)”介绍教育类影响研究，前文说会对比评估参与项目和未参与项目学生的表现，F选项“研究结果可用来决定这类项目应获得多少经费”顺承了评估结果的用途，符合语境。故选F。 5．后文“In some cases where the negative impact can be reduced by benefits, there may be a net gain to the area. In other cases, the study may indicate ways the negative effects can be minimized.(在某些情况下，如果能通过一些措施减轻负面影响，那么该地区可能会获得净收益。而在其他情况下，研究可能会指出如何将负面影响降至最低)”提到负面影响可被收益抵消，项目仍能带来净收益，还可以调整降低负面影响，A选项“即便影响研究发现了问题，项目依然可以继续”正好引出下文对这种情况的说明，符合逻辑。故选A。 Passage 3 （2026·广东汕头市·二模） Human personalities are typically sorted into two categories: the introverted (内向的) and the extroverted. Introverts prefer quiet reflection, while extroverts lean toward lively interactions. These differing tendencies shape distinct behaviors, often causing misunderstandings. Thus, it is vital to understand them. Introversion and extroversion are at opposite extremes, yet most people fall somewhere in between. 1 For instance, people often become more introverted as they age, a shift driven by changes in motivation, energy levels, and lifestyle. Context also plays a crucial role. Someone who lacks regular social interaction might become outgoing in a new environment. 2 Instead, recognize their dynamic personalities shaped by time and circumstance. When a friend’s behavior unsettles you, first trace the root to their basic nature, which naturally shapes their everyday actions. An introvert may perceive a private question as impolite, while an extrovert might intend friendliness with it. 3 In this way, a solid bond can be formed. Since these character differences easily cause tensions, open dialogue becomes crucial when conflicts arise. 4 And since this is a shared effort, you and your friend must both speak up. If you’re more introverted, you can request pauses to share your ideas; if your friend is more extroverted, he can focus on listening more, which fosters balanced interaction. 5 Introverts do well in quiet reflection, offering others a sense of calm and ease. Extroverts, by contrast, shine with energy, lifting spirits and breaking the stillness. This is why we should embrace each friend with an admiring mindset. We must reject rigid labels, honor differences, and bridge gaps through respect. A．Personality styles are never fixed. B．The first step is to clearly voice your needs. C．However, these conflicts can be worked out. D．Such misunderstandings don’t come from rudeness, just differences. E．Given these differences, set aside judgment and respect these distinctions. F．Every personality, whether introverted or extroverted, has remarkable strengths. G．Therefore, avoid labeling friends simply as absolute “introverts” or “extroverts”. 【答案】1．A 2．G 3．D 4．B 5．F 【导语】文章主要介绍了内向与外向两种性格类型的特点、动态变化特征，以及如何基于差异理解和尊重他人、建立良好人际关系。 1．上文“Introversion and extroversion are at opposite extremes, yet most people fall somewhere in between.(内向和外向处于两个相反的极端，但大多数人都介于两者之间)”指出大多数人的性格并非处于极端位置，A选项“Personality styles are never fixed.(性格类型从来不是固定不变的)”承接上文，进一步说明性格不仅分布连续，而且具有动态变化的特征；下文“For instance, people often become more introverted as they age, a shift driven by changes in motivation, energy levels, and lifestyle.(例如，随着年龄增长，人们往往会变得更内向，这种转变是由动机、精力水平和生活方式的改变驱动的)”通过举例具体说明性格如何随时间变化，与A选项中的“never fixed”相呼应。 2．上文“Context also plays a crucial role. Someone who lacks regular social interaction might become outgoing in a new environment.(环境也起着关键作用。一个缺乏正常社交互动的人在新环境中可能会变得外向)”指出性格受环境影响而变化，G选项“Therefore, avoid labeling friends simply as absolute “introverts” or “extroverts”.(因此，避免简单地将朋友贴标签为绝对的“内向者”或“外向者”)”与上文构成因果关系，基于性格动态变化这一前提，提出应避免给人贴固定标签的建议；下文“Instead, recognize their dynamic personalities shaped by time and circumstance.(相反，要认识到他们由时间和环境塑造的动态性格)”进一步解释应如何正确看待他人性格，与G选项中的“avoid labeling...as absolute”形成对应。 3．上文“An introvert may perceive a private question as impolite, while an extrovert might intend friendliness with it.(内向者可能认为私人问题不礼貌，而外向者则可能以此表达友好)”分析了同一行为因性格不同而产生的理解差异，D选项“Such misunderstandings don’t come from rudeness, just differences.(这种误解并非源于无礼，仅仅是差异所致)”承接上文，对这种差异进行了定性——不是礼仪问题，而是性格差异；下文“In this way, a solid bond can be formed.(这样，就能建立起牢固的关系)”说明正确理解这种差异后的积极结果，上下文语意连贯。 4．上文“Since these character differences easily cause tensions, open dialogue becomes crucial when conflicts arise.(由于这些性格差异容易引发紧张关系，当冲突出现时，开放的对话变得至关重要)”指出冲突发生时开放对话的重要性，B选项“The first step is to clearly voice your needs.(第一步是清晰地表达你的需求)”承接上文，具体说明了开放对话的第一步该做什么——说出自己的需求；下文“And since this is a shared effort, you and your friend must both speak up.(而且由于这是双方共同的努力，你和你的朋友都必须说出自己的想法)”进一步强调双方都应表达自己，与B选项中的“voice your needs”形成递进关系。 5．下文“Introverts do well in quiet reflection, offering others a sense of calm and ease. Extroverts, by contrast, shine with energy, lifting spirits and breaking the stillness.(内向者擅长安静地反思，给他人带来平静和轻松的感觉。相比之下，外向者充满活力，振奋精神，打破沉寂)”分别阐述了内向者和外向者各自的优点，F选项“Every personality, whether introverted or extroverted, has remarkable strengths.(每种性格，无论是内向还是外向，都有显著的优势)”指出内外向性格都各具优势，准确概括了下文主旨，上下文语意连贯。 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （2026·广东佛山市·二模） In a conversation, it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference. The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?” 1 You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. 2 In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. 3 Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” 4 Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. 5 Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A．Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B．You might not know how to respond. C．This power extends beyond social situations. D．Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E．A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F．This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing. G．As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了提问在对话中的重要性，以及如何提出“好”问题来促进更深入、更有意义的交流。 1．空前“Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?”(有人没有问通常的“工作怎么样？”而是问：“最近是什么在激励着你？”)”说明人问的问题变了，空后“You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you.(你发现自己在分享一本改变了你观点的书，或者最近让你感动的经历。)”说明自己分享的事情也出现了变化，空格处应该说明说的话题起了变化，A选项“Suddenly, the conversation shifts.(突然，话题转移了。)”说明了话题出现了转移，承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 2．空后“In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams.(在专业的环境中，深思熟虑的问题可以带来更好的解决问题和更强大的团队。)”说明了这种话题的转移的作用不光体现在社交场合，还体现在专业环境中，C选项“This power extends beyond social situations.(这种力量超越了社交场合。)”说明了话题转移的力量超越了社交场合，引起下文，符合语境，故选C。 3．空后“Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic.(在问问题之前，考虑一下你真正想了解这个人或话题的什么。)”说明了在问问题之前，要想清楚你想了解什么，也就是你对这个人的哪方面比较好奇，D选项“Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity.(提出强有力的问题始于真正的好奇心。)”说明了提出强有力的问题是需要好奇心的，引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 4．空前“Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?”(与其问“你假期玩得开心吗？”不如问“这次旅行中，哪个瞬间让你印象最深刻？”)”提出了一个改变问问题的方式的具体例子，空格处应该说这么做的好处，F选项“This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing.(这样，你就鼓励了特定的经历和情感分享。)”说明了改变问问题的方式的好处，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 5．空前“The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey.(提出问题和建立更深层次联系的艺术是一个持续的过程。)”说明提出问题是持续发展的过程，空后“Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship.(每一个都是一个邀请，让你更好地了解别人，通过他们的眼睛看世界，创造人与人之间亲密联系的时刻。你的下一个问题可能会开启一段深入的对话，一个新的理解，甚至是一段改变一生的关系。)”说明了接下来问的问题是什么样的，空格处应该说明问的问题的发展，G选项“As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions.(在你前进的过程中，挑战自己，问一些更有意义的问题。)”说明了要继续去问一下更有意义的问题，是一种问题的发展，承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 Passage 2 （2026·广东省茂名市·二模） Stressful situations can’t be avoided in daily life. You’re getting ready to meet someone for a first date. 1 Or worst-case scenario (情况), you’re facing an emergency. Your hands start to shake, your heart races, and your mind floods with negative thoughts. It’s common for the body’s natural “fight-or-flight” response to kick in, and it may be hard to react the way you would otherwise like to under pressure. 2 When the next high-stress situation arises, you are better prepared. One technique is to exercise the heart rate variability, or HRV, which is the way in which a person’s heart rate goes up and down and constantly varies. Having a higher HRV is a sign that your nervous system is healthy. 3 Be aware that your reaction to stress is not abnormal. When a person starts to feel the sensations of stress, thoughts such as “I can’t do this” or panic begin to happen. But when you’re mindful that these reactions are normal, you can use that awareness to your advantage. 1 Experts recommend breathing in normally through the nose for four seconds and breathing out — as if you are gently blowing out a candle — for six seconds to help the body get to the best state. Ultimately, it is important to remember that stress is unavoidable, especially when emergencies happen. 2 It keeps our nervous systems prepared to respond when we need to, and to go back to a state of calm when things are OK and there’s no threat in the environment. A．A little bit of stress is good for us. B．But you can train the mind and body. C．You have difficulty breathing normally. D．It is important to stay calm in an emergency.

I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. 1 Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value. It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. 2 Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps. Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. 3 In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. 4 If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further. 5 When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going. A．It’s nothing but an excuse. B．This couldn’t be further from the truth! C．Fixing what bothers you is also necessary. D．This leaves more space for you to boost productivity. E．But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living. F．So you can make space for what’s most important to you. G．Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．F 4．C 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍极简主义生活方式的常见误解，并给出开启极简主义生活的实用建议。 1．根据上文“I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living.(当我第一次决定开始极简主义生活时，我有些怀疑)”以及下文“Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value.(成为一名极简主义者让我有更多时间和自由去追求我热爱和珍视的事物)”可知，此处应表转折，衔接最初的怀疑与后来的收获，E选项“But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living.(但这样做给了我一种我由衷热爱的生活)”中的doing so指代上文的take on minimalist living，既转折又呼应下文的积极影响，符合语境。故选E项。 2．根据上文“It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules.(初学者通常认为极简主义始于难以坚持的习惯和规则)”以及下文“Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps.(极简主义始于你的心态 —— 这是你看待生活的视角，而后从心态出发向外延伸，逐步转化为切实可行的习惯和行动步骤)”可知，上文的观点与实际情况不符，此处应否定上文观点，B选项“This couldn’t be further from the truth!(这与事实相去甚远！)”既指出上文观点错误，又引出下文对极简主义真正起点的阐述，符合语境。故选B项。 3．根据上文“The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life.(极简主义的主要目标是摆脱那些对日常生活价值无益的东西)”可知，此处应说明摆脱无用之物的目的，F选项“So you can make space for what’s most important to you.(这样你就能为对你最重要的东西腾出空间)”中的So承接上文，make space呼应上文get rid of the things，符合语境。故选F项。 4．根据上文“Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life.(问问自己，在日常生活中，你的生活需要更多什么，更少什么)”以及下文“If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further.(如果日常生活中有什么事让你心烦，你最好着手解决这些问题，别让它们继续拖累你)”可知，此处应衔接上文的自我审视，引出解决烦恼的必要性，C选项“Fixing what bothers you is also necessary.(解决困扰你的问题也是必要的)”既呼应下文的annoying you、address these things，又补充上文的建议，符合语境。故选C项。 5．根据下文“When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there.(开始的时候，不要太关注最终结果或最难改变的事情。从最简单的事情开始，然后逐步推进)”可知，本段核心是建议从简单开始，循序渐进，G选项“Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey.(从简单开始，意识到成为一名极简主义者是一个过程)”作为段首句，概括本段主旨，与下文的具体建议相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·广东深圳市福田某校·二模） Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. 1 On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. 2 According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. 3 First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments. What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. 4 This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress. But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. 5 It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are. In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope. A．But why do we love nostalgia so much? B．This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us. C．Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs. D．However, psychology experts say there’s more to it. E．It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic. F．Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy. G．Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．E 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述怀旧的普遍现象、心理作用、对大脑的积极影响及平衡之道，指出其有助于应对当下与未来。 1．由上文“Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites.(怀旧之情——对过去的温暖渴望——在当今的文化中无处不在。像《芭比》、《夺宝奇兵》和《壮志凌云》这样的电影通过重现经典而吸引了大量观众。)”及下文“On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good.(从表面上看，怀旧只是让我们感觉良好。)”对怀旧情感的详细解释可知，本空应询问为什么人们喜欢怀旧。A选项“But why do we love nostalgia so much? (但我们为什么这么喜欢怀旧呢？)”以问句形式开启原因探讨，能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 2．由上文“On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good.(从表面上看，怀旧只是让我们感觉良好。)”及下文“According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.(据中国科学院心理研究所杨紫嫣教授介绍，怀旧之情会让人产生温暖、归属感，甚至是一种精神上对过去的逃避。在艰难时期——无论是个人困境还是全球性危机——怀旧都如同一道情感安全网。电影和音乐是强大的怀旧触发因素，因为它们能重现熟悉的情感和经历。)”可知，本空需体现“表面现象”与“深层作用”的转折。D选项“However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.(然而，心理学专家表示，事情远不止于此。)”既转折上文“简单的表面感受”，又引出下文专家对怀旧深层意义的解读，符合逻辑。故选D。 3．由下文“First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds.(首先，它给我们一种控制感。即使生活感觉不可预测，回顾过去也能让我们感到更加踏实和安全。其次，怀旧加强了社会联系。)”可知，本段说明怀旧带心理上的满足。C选项“Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.(怀旧也满足关键的心理需求。)”直接概括了下文的内容，起到了引领下文的作用。故选C。 4．由上文“What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions.(怀旧对我们的大脑有什么影响？大部分都是好东西！研究表明，它通过激活积极情绪来提高幸福感、创造力和能量。)”及下文“This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals.(这种年轻的乐观心态鼓励我们冒险、追求目标。)”可知，本空应继续解释怀旧对大脑的影响，强调怀旧能让人们感觉年轻乐观。E选项“It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.(它甚至能让我们感觉更年轻、更乐观。)”能承上启下，且句中“younger and more optimistic”与下文“This youthful optimism”相照应。故选E。 5．由上文“But can too much nostalgia be harmful?

Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. 1 It wasn’t that I disliked others; keeping to myself just seemed easier. Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up. 2 Without warning, the power went out. The building fell into complete darkness. I sat alone in my apartment, the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead. The silence was familiar. Yet this time, it seemed different. Less comforting. More exposed. A soft knock broke the stillness. It was my neighbour from 3B, someone I recognised but hardly knew. She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled. 3 People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation. I listened more than I spoke. The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour. 4 I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离). When the lights finally returned, the hallway looked the same, but it felt different. I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space. 5 It’s about knowing when to let them in. Now, when I step into the elevator, I don’t automatically lower my eyes. Sometimes, I look up. A．After a moment, I stepped outside. B．I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation. C．I began to question my decision to join the conversation. D．Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well. E．As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen. F．But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out. G．That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city. 【答案】1．B 2．G 3．A 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文主要讲述作者长期刻意疏远身边邻居，一场暴风雨停电的经历，让其打破隔阂，领悟到成熟并非封闭自我。 1．上文“For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. (多年来，我与周围的人保持着谨慎的距离。住在繁华的城市公寓里，我学会安静穿行于公共区域)”讲述作者刻意与人保持距离，B选项“I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation. (我避免眼神交流和多余交谈)”承接上文，具体说明作者疏远他人的表现，语境连贯。 2．上文“Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up.(独立对我来说很重要，不需要任何人感觉像是成年人的一部分)”说明作者的想法，下文“Without warning, the power went out. (毫无征兆地，停电了)”引出突发意外事件，G选项“That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city. (一晚暴风雨席卷城市，我的固有想法受到了挑战)”起到承上启下的作用，引出停电变故。 3．上文“She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled.(她拿着蜡烛，提到有几个居民聚集在走廊里，并邀请我加入他们。我犹豫了一下。独自待着感觉很安全，但有些事情让人感到不安)”说明邻居手持蜡烛邀请作者去走廊相聚，作者内心犹豫纠结，A选项“After a moment, I stepped outside. (片刻之后，我走了出去)”承接情节发展，体现作者最终接受邀请。 4．上文“People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation.(人们坐在地板上，共享毯子、茶和安静的谈话)”以及“The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour.(我曾经认为不友好的那个人原来是一个幽默感很强的退休医生)”描写邻里相聚、相处融洽，作者看到了邻居不一样的一面，E选项“As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen. (夜色渐深，我长久以来的固有观念开始动摇)”衔接场景，引出作者内心的思想转变。 5．上文“I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space.(我并没有突然变得外向，也没有放弃对空间的需求)”说明作者没有变得外向，也没有放弃独处需求，F选项“But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out. (但我有了新的领悟：成熟并非隔绝他人)”转折升华主旨，契合全文感悟。 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2025·广东省·二模） Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. 1 Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. 2 For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. 3 Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. 4 Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. 5 By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A．So is this trend bound to continue? B．But is online medical advice actually reliable? C．These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D．An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E．Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F．Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G．Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. 【答案】1．B 2．E 3．D 4．G 5．C 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讨论了当前人们倾向于在网上寻求医疗建议的现象，并对此进行了分析和评价。 1．根据前文“Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern.(如今，许多人在发现疾病迹象时都求助于互联网寻求医疗建议。这是可以理解的，因为看医生既耗时又昂贵，除非是严重的健康问题)”以及后文“Often, the answer is: not really.(通常，答案是：并非如此)”可知，前文提到很多人生病时求助互联网，后文说答案是并非如此，所以空处应是提问是否可靠，B项“But is online medical advice actually reliable?(但是网上的医疗建议真的可靠吗？)”和上文构成转折关系，下文是对本句的回答，符合文意。故选B项。 2．根据后文“For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results.(例如，一个健康的25岁的人咳嗽的原因可能与一个65岁的吸烟者不同。然而，他们可能会找到相同的搜索结果)”可知，此处是举例说明，互联网不会考虑个体因素，E项“Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation.(网络文章往往没有考虑到每个人的独特情况)”符合此处主题，后文是对本句的举例。故选E项。 3．设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind.(许多文章都是为了赚钱或推动特定的议程而写的，而不是为了给出准确的建议。事实上，网上只有一小部分健康信息是考虑到读者的最大利益而创建的)”可知，本段讲述了网上很多文章都是为了赚钱或推动特定的议程而写的，而不是为了给出准确的建议，由此推知，会有一些错误的信息。D项“An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation.(一个更大的问题是医疗错误信息的增加)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 4．根据前文“Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website.(幸运的是，一些策略可以帮助我们找到可靠的医疗信息。首先，查看作者和网站)”可知，此处介绍如何找到可靠信息，首先，查看作者和网站，G项“Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites.(可靠的来源通常由医生撰写或托管在可信的网站上)”是对可靠作者和网站的具体讲述，符合文意。故选G项。 5．设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结。根据上文“Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment.(此外，如果一个网站推荐某种特定的药物或程序，特别是如果它有很大的广告)”可知，这样的网站通常是牟利。C项“These pages may be created by profit-driven companies.(这些页面可能是由逐利公司创建的)”是对前文情况的总结，符合文意。故选C项。 Passage 2 （2025·广东省莞佛联考·二模） Olympic medals are among the most respected honors in the sporting world, symbolizing not only athletic victory, but also the rich history, fine craftsmanship, and longstanding traditions of the Games. 1 Are they made entirely of gold, silver, and bronze? And what makes the Paris 2024 Olympic medals special? Originally, Olympic winners in 776 BCE were honored with olive wreaths (橄榄花环) rather than medals. The concept of medals as we know them today first emerged at the 1896 Athens Games. However, solid gold medals were no longer awarded after 1912. 2 As a result, the International Olympic Committee later updated the regulations regarding medal composition and design. Modern gold medals are primarily composed of 92.5% silver with a six-gram gold plating for appearance. 3 They contain at least 92.5% pure silver, and bronze medals consist of 95% copper and 5% zinc (锌). This mixture ensures the medals’ longevity and makes them cheaper. An Olympic gold medal may be worth over £500, but its value to athletes goes beyond its financial worth. 4 For instance, the 2012 London Olympics medals featured the River Thames and London skyline. Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors and X-ray plates. Tokyo 2020 medals, made from recycled electronics, emphasized technological innovation. For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the medals are particularly distinctive. Each features a hexagon (六边形) with the Paris 2024 logo on one side and Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in front of the Eiffel Tower on the other. 5 As Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, stated, “These medals offer athletes a physical piece of Paris to take home.” A．Pure gold is soft and easily damaged. B．When were these medals first introduced? C．Who is responsible for designing the medals? D．Silver medals, by contrast, live up to their names. E．With these symbols, they honor the history of the Olympics. F．Unique to this year, the medals use metal from the Eiffel Tower. G．The design of medals reflects the host city’s distinct style and values. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．G 5．F 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了奥运会奖牌的历史、材质以及2024届伦敦奥运会奖牌的特点。 1．根据空后“Are they made entirely of gold, silver, and bronze? And what makes the Paris 2024 Olympic medals special?(它们是用金、银和青铜制成的吗？是什么让 2024 年巴黎奥运会的奖牌与众不同？)”可知，后文提出了与奥运奖牌相关的问题，故此空应与后文排比，同样设问，且根据文章第二段内容“The concept of medals as we know them today first emerged at the 1896 Athens Games.(奖牌的概念首先出现在1896年雅典奥运会。)”可知，文章第二段在解释此空提出的问题，故B项“这些奖牌于什么时候首次引入的呢？”符合，故选B项。 2．根据空前“However, solid gold medals were no longer awarded after 1912.(然而，自1912年后，不再颁发纯金牌。)”和空后“As a result, the International Olympic Committee later updated the regulations regarding medal composition and design.(结果，后来国际奥委会更新了关于金牌成分和设计的规则。)”可知，空前提到不再颁发纯金牌，空后又提出了关于金牌成分和设计规则的改变，故A项“纯金很软，容易损坏。”符合，承接前文不再颁发纯金牌的原因，又引出空后修改金牌的成分和设计的规则，故选A项。 3．根据空前“Modern gold medals are primarily composed of 92.5% silver with a six- gram gold plating for appearance.(现代金牌主要由 92.5%的银和六克镀金组成。)”可知，空前解释了金牌的成分，且根据空后“They contain at least 92.5% pure silver(它们含有至少92.5%的纯银。)”可知，空后提出了银的成分，故D项“相比之下，银牌是名副其实的。”符合，与前文构成对比，金牌由 92.5%的银和六克镀金组成，相比之下，银牌是名副其实的，它们含有至少92.5%的纯银，且空后的They指代D项中的Silver medals，故选D项。 4．根据空后“For instance, the 2012 London Olympics medals featured the River Thames and London skyline. Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors and X-ray plates. Tokyo 2020 medals, made from recycled electronics, emphasized technological innovation. (例如，2012年伦敦奥运会奖牌以泰晤士河和伦敦天际线为特色。2016年里约热内卢奥运会通过使用剩余的镜子和X光片来关注可持续发展。2020 年东京奥运会奖牌由回收电子产品制成，强调技术创新。)”可知，空后举例说明了每届奥运会奖牌的不同的设计，故G项“奖牌的设计反映了主办城市的风格和价值观”符合，位于本段句首，主题句，引出后文，故选G项。 5．根据空前“Each features a hexagon (六边形) with the Paris 2024 logo on one side and Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in front of the Eiffel Tower on the other.(每枚奖牌都是六边形的，一边印有巴黎2024的标志，另一边印有希腊胜利女神耐克站在埃菲尔铁塔前的形象。)”可知，空前提到了伦敦奥运会的奖牌，故此空F项“今年的独特之处在于，奖牌使用的金属来自埃菲尔铁塔”符合，进一步介绍巴黎 2024 年奥运会奖牌的特点，故选F项。 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （2026·广东阳江市·二模） In a fast-paced world full of distractions, staying focused on tasks for long stretches takes intentional practice. 1 While reading a book or doing homework, we get distracted by the slightest sound or our own thoughts. 2 For example, say “I am here” to yourself when your attention moves away. This will bring your focus back to the present moment. 3 Fix a period of time — two or three hours — during which you will not check your phone or other gadgets. Don’t worry about missing out on important communication: People can always call you in case of an emergency. Mindfulness means paying full attention to what is happening around you. When you get up, sit in a comfortable place and use your five senses to focus on your surroundings. Look around you and identify five things that were always there. Next, concentrate on the sounds around you. 4 Pay attention to the taste of tea, coffee or milk you may be drinking. Is it sweet or bitter? Mindfulness can bring reason to even the most chaotic situations. We often get distracted while speaking to other people. To keep your attention from wandering, imagine a lit bulb over the head of the person you are speaking to. Even if you are talking to someone on the phone, visualize their face with a bulb over their head. 5 With these small, consistent practices, you’ll gradually build a more focused mind-able to engage more deeply with whatever you do. A．What kinds of smells can you identify? B．What funny stories can you think of to lighten up? C．Take a quick phone break when you feel your focus dropping. D．To bring our attention back, it helps to associate a phrase to it. E．This practice can improve your attention and interactions with others. F．Keep track of the number of times you check your phone in one hour. G．These simple exercises will help you strengthen your sustained attention. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍在充满干扰的快节奏世界里，如何通过一些小练习来保持专注力，包括将注意力与短语关联、设定不查看电子设备的时间、保持正念以及在与人交谈时想象对方头上有灯泡等方法。 1．根据上文“In a fast-paced world full of distractions, staying focused on tasks for long stretches takes intentional practice. (在充满干扰的快节奏世界中，长时间专注于任务需要刻意的练习。)”可知，此处点明了“保持专注需要练习”。结合下文各个段落具体介绍如何通过短语、限制手机使用、正念练习等方法来提升注意力，可知空处应起承上启下的作用，引出下文即将介绍的具体“练习”。G选项(这些简单的练习将帮助你加强你的持续注意力。)中的“These simple exercises”能自然引出下文介绍的各种方法，且“strengthen your sustained attention”与上文的“staying focused”直接呼应，符合语境。 2．根据上文“While reading a book or doing homework, we get distracted by the slightest sound or our own thoughts.(在读书或做作业时，我们会被最轻微的声音或自己的想法分散注意力。)”以及下文“For example, say “I am here” to yourself when your attention moves away.(例如，当你的注意力转移时，对自己说“我在这里”。)”可知，此处需提出一个能将注意力拉回来的方法，且与下文的具体例子相呼应。D选项(为了把我们的注意力拉回来，把一个短语和它联系起来会有帮助。)既承接了上文“注意力被分散”的问题，又引出了下文“说短语”的具体方法，符合语境。 3．根据下文“Fix a period of time-two or three hours — during which you will not check your phone or other gadgets.(设定一个时间段——两三个小时——在这段时间内，你不会查看手机或其他设备。)”可知，此段强调设定不查看电子设备的时间。F选项(记录一下你一小时内查看手机的次数。)与本段主题相关，且能引出下文设定不查看电子设备时间的做法，符合语境。 4．根据上文“Next, concentrate on the sounds around you. (接下来，专注于你周围的声音。)”可知，这是在按照感官顺序进行正念练习，已经从视觉（看五样东西）转到听觉（听声音）。下文是“Pay attention to the taste of tea, coffee or milk you may be drinking. Is it sweet or bitter? (注意你可能正在喝的茶、咖啡或牛奶的味道。是甜的还是苦的？)” 这转到了味觉。因此，空处应该还在听觉范畴，或者过渡到另一种感官。A选项(你能识别出什么样的气味？)询问气味，属于嗅觉，是听觉（声音）和味觉（味道）之间的另一种常见感官，符合正念练习中调动多种感官（五感）的逻辑顺序。 5．根据上文“To keep your attention from wandering, imagine a lit bulb over the head of the person you are speaking to. Even if you are talking to someone on the phone, visualize their face with a bulb over their head.(为了防止你的注意力分散，想象一下和你说话的人头上有一个亮着的灯泡。即使你是在和某人通电话，也要想象他们的脸上有一个灯泡。)”可知，此段强调在与人交谈时想象对方头上有灯泡来保持注意力，此处需说明这种做法的好处。E选项(这种做法可以提高你的注意力和与他人的互动。)承接上文，符合语境。 Passage 2 （2025·广东省高州市·二模） SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT We all need a little sleep support sometimes. Losing out on all-important sleeping hours can be frustrating and unsettling. 1 Even if you have good nighttime habits in general, you may still sometimes have difficulty settling into slumber. These expert-backed sleep hacks just might help you get to dreamland. Make over your mornings. A good night’s rest starts when you say “Rise and shine!” the morning before. To improve your sleep, establish a consistent morning routine: Focus on waking up at around the same time each day. Try to expose yourself to daylight. And fuel up with an energizing breakfast. 2 Set the mood. At night, try switching to amber or red lightbulbs in a lamp or two. These are less mentally stimulating and can trigger natural melatonin (褪黑素) production. It’s an easy decoration adjustment to look for a salt lamp or colorchanging lightbulbs. 3 And do your best to stop using these devices about an hour before bedtime. 4 Soaking in a warm tub or standing under a steamy stream about 75 to 90 minutes before bedtime can be helpful, as the warm water initially raises your body temperature, and then as the water cools down, that helps promote sleep onset. You sleep more soundly when your body temperature is cooler. Use your imagination. 5 Close your eyes and spend a moment visualizing a calming, pleasant environment such as a forest, a beach, or a mountain scene. Pleasant imagery before drifting off may help calm the mind, and in turn the body, to ease transition to sleep. A．Take a bubble bath or a hot shower. B．Follow this road map to better your sleep. C．Too little sleeping can cast a shadow over your health. D．Squeeze in a morning workout if your schedule allows. E．They connect with an app that lets you change the light color. F．Also, switch smartphone, laptop, and tablet screens to night mode. G．A short imagery can help create peaceful feelings that may send you to sleep. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些让你今晚睡个好觉的方法。 1．上文“Losing out on all-important sleeping hours can be frustrating and unsettling.(失去至关重要的睡眠时间可能会令人沮丧和不安)”提到睡眠不足的后果，下文“These expert-backed sleep hacks just might help you get to dreamland.(这些专家支持的睡眠技巧可能会帮助你进入梦乡)”引出专家建议，C选项“睡眠过少会给你的健康蒙上阴影。”承接上文继续讲睡眠不足的后果，引出下文具体介绍专家建议。故选C项。 2．由小标题“Make over your mornings.(好好度过你的早晨)”和上文“To improve your sleep, establish a consistent morning routine: Focus on waking up at around the same time each day. Try to expose yourself to daylight. And fuel up with an energizing breakfast.(为了改善你的睡眠，建立一个一致的早晨习惯：专注于每天大约在同一时间醒来。试着把自己暴露在阳光下。吃一顿充满活力的早餐来补充能量)”可知，本段强调早晨习惯，如定时起床、接触阳光和吃早餐，D选项“如果你的日程安排允许，可以挤出时间进行晨练。”补充早晨常规建议。故选D项。 3．由上文“At night, try switching to amber or red lightbulbs in a lamp or two. These are less mentally stimulating and can trigger natural melatonin (褪黑素) production. It’s an easy decoration adjustment to look for a salt lamp or colorchanging lightbulbs. (晚上，试着把一两盏灯换成琥珀色或红色灯泡。这些对精神刺激较小，可以触发天然褪黑激素的产生。寻找盐灯或变色灯泡是一种简单的装饰调整)”可知，本段讨论灯光调整（把灯光调暗）对褪黑素的影响，F选项“此外，将智能手机、笔记本电脑和平板电脑屏幕切换到夜间模式。”承接上文讲对电子设备进行灯光调暗，与下文“And do your best to stop using these devices about an hour before bedtime.(尽量在睡前一小时左右停止使用这些设备)”讲“停止使用设备”衔接，形成递进建议。故选F项。 4．该空选取小标题，需总结下文。由下文“Soaking in a warm tub or standing under a steamy stream about 75 to 90 minutes before bedtime can be helpful, as the warm water initially raises your body temperature, and then as the water cools down, that helps promote sleep onset. (睡前约75至90分钟，浸泡在温暖的浴缸中或站在热气腾腾的溪流下可能会有所帮助，因为温水最初会提高你的体温，然后随着水的冷却，这有助于促进睡眠)”可知，下文描述泡澡或淋浴对睡眠的好处，A选项“洗个泡泡浴或热水澡。”切合语境。故选A项。 5．小标题“Use your imagination.(发挥你的想象力)”，下文“Close your eyes and spend a moment visualizing a calming, pleasant environment such as a forest, a beach, or a mountain scene. Pleasant imagery before drifting off may help calm the mind, and in turn the body, to ease transition to sleep.(闭上眼睛，花点时间想象一个平静、愉快的环境，比如森林、海滩或山景。漂流前愉快的想象可能有助于平静心灵，进而帮助身体，缓解睡眠过渡)”建议想象平静场景，G选项“一个简短的图像可以帮助创造平静的感觉，让你入睡。”点明方法，切合语境。故选G项。 Passage 3 （2025·广东清远市·二模） The Art of Giving Compliments (称赞) Compliments create a positive impact, uplifting both the giver and receiver. Let’s start lifting each other up more often with encouraging words. One important aspect of giving compliments is to acknowledge the small things in life. You don’t need to wait around for some big achievement to offer a compliment to somebody. If it’s something really obvious, they’ve probably been complimented on it plenty of times before. 1 What may seem unimportant to you might mean a lot to somebody else. Like somebody’s jacket? Let them know! Impressed with someone’s handwriting? Tell them. Additionally, when giving compliments, it’s crucial to be specific. If you want to encourage positive change in someone, give them specific compliments. The more specific your compliments are, the more likely they are to continue the positive behavior. This helps them identify what they’re doing right. For this reason, children who grew up with parents who gave them a lot of general praise, “You’re so smart!” or, “You’re so special!” tend to feel lost in adulthood. 2 Another key element in the art of complimenting is sincerity. Compliments that are clearly insincere won’t win you any points. 3 If a person knows you’re lying, that will destroy their trust in you and de-value your future compliments. So, always keep in mind that honesty is the best policy when it comes to giving compliments. 4 Non-present compliments are those you yourself offer about someone else when they’ re not around. Repeating them always works wonders. For example, I was recently talking to my brother about working on the blog. I mentioned how I really admire Kate’s determination to finish an article on a tight deadline, even if it means staying up all night to do it. When I got home, I told her about that conversation. 5 A．Kate thanked us sincerely. B．Kate said it really meant a lot. C．In fact, they’ll have the opposite effect. D．So offer your admiration for the small stuff. E．At-present compliments are equally important. F．They haven’t learned to recognize their talents. G．Repeating non-present compliments is also valuable. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．C 4．G 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了称赞的艺术，包括关注小事、具体称赞、真诚称赞以及重复非当面称赞的重要性。 1．由上文“One important aspect of giving compliments is to acknowledge the small things in life. You don’t need to wait around for some big achievement to offer a compliment to somebody. If it’s something really obvious, they’ve probably been complimented on it plenty of times before. (称赞的一个重要方面是认可生活中的小事。你不需要等到别人取得什么大成就才给予称赞。如果某件事真的很明显，他们可能已经被称赞过很多次了。)”可知，上文提到要认可生活中的小事并给予称赞，本空应承接上文，进一步强调要对小事表示赞赏。D选项“So offer your admiration for the small stuff. (所以要对小事表示你的赞赏。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 2．由上文“Additionally, when giving compliments, it’s crucial to be specific. If you want to encourage positive change in someone, give them specific compliments. The more specific your compliments are, the more likely they are to continue the positive behavior. This helps them identify what they’re doing right. For this reason, children who grew up with parents who gave them a lot of general praise, “You’re so smart!” or, “You’re so special!” tend to feel lost in adulthood. (此外，在给予称赞时，具体性至关重要。如果你想鼓励某人做出积极的改变，就给他们具体的称赞。你的称赞越具体，他们就越有可能继续积极的行为。这有助于他们明确自己做得对的地方。出于这个原因，那些成长在父母经常给予一般性称赞，如“你真聪明！”或“你真特别！”的家庭中的孩子，在成年后往往会感到迷茫。)”可知，上文提到一般性称赞会让孩子在成年后感到迷茫，本空应承接上文，说明这些孩子迷茫的原因。F选项“They haven’t learned to recognize their talents. (他们没有学会认识自己的才能。)”能承接上文，解释了孩子迷茫的原因，符合题意。故选F。 3．由上文“Another key element in the art of complimenting is sincerity. Compliments that are clearly insincere won’t win you any points. (称赞艺术的另一个关键要素是真诚。明显不真诚的称赞不会为你赢得任何好感。)”可知，上文提到不真诚的称赞不会赢得好感，本空应承接上文，说明不真诚称赞的负面影响。C选项“In fact, they’ll have the opposite effect. (事实上，它们会产生相反的效果。)”能承接上文，说明了不真诚称赞的负面影响，符合题意。故选C。 4．由下文“Non-present compliments are those you yourself offer about someone else when they’ re not around. Repeating them always works wonders. (背后的称赞是指当某人不在场时你对别人说起关于他的称赞。重复这些称赞总是能产生奇妙的效果。)”可知，本空应强调重复背后称赞的价值。G选项“Repeating non-present compliments is also valuable. (重复背后的称赞也是有价值的。)”可作为本段的主题句，引出下文对背后称赞及其效果的介绍，符合语境。故选G。 5．由上文“For example, I was recently talking to my brother about working on the blog. I mentioned how I really admire Kate’s determination to finish an article on a tight deadline, even if it means staying up all night to do it. When I got home, I told her about that conversation. (例如，我最近和我哥哥谈论了关于博客的工作。我提到我非常钦佩凯特在紧迫的期限内完成一篇文章的决心，即使这意味着她要熬夜完成。当我回到家时，我告诉了她那次谈话。)”可知，上文提到作者告诉凯特关于作者和她哥哥的谈话内容，本空应承接上文，说明凯特对此的反应。B选项“Kate said it really meant a lot. (凯特说那真的意义重大。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选B。 Passage 4 （2026·广东茂名市·二模） Can just ten minutes of journaling really make a difference? The answer is yes. 1 When you spend just ten minutes journaling, you give your mind a place to unload everything that has been circling in your head. Instead of letting worries take over, you put them on paper where you can see them. It’s like clearing a messy desk. Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. 2 Many people describe feeling lighter and calmer after they write. That sense of control is especially important when life feels busy or unpredictable. Journaling also strengthens self-awareness. As days pass, patterns begin to appear. You may notice that every Monday feels heavy, or that certain conversations leave you exhausted. This awareness gives you choices. You can prepare yourself, set boundaries, or change how you react. 3 Sleep is another area where journaling can work wonders. Have you ever noticed that your mind becomes most active when the lights go out? That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. 4 Your mind no longer has to guard them. Studies show that people who journal at night fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest. 5 When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. You notice your progress. You see growth. And that reminder — that you are changing, step by step — is one of the strongest sources of motivation you can have. A．Small habits, if repeated daily, lead to real change. B．Journaling can also become a record of your journey. C．But when you write them down before bed, you release them. D．A fixed journaling time, like before bed, suits most people best. E．Having regular conversations with your friends helps you feel relaxed. F．This simple “mental clean-up” is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress. G．Over time, these small adjustments help you feel more emotionally balanced. 【答案】1．A 2．F 3．G 4．C 5．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了每天仅十分钟的日记写作对减压、提升自我认知、改善睡眠和记录个人成长等方面的积极作用。 1．根据前文“Can just ten minutes of journaling really make a difference? The answer is yes. (仅仅十分钟的日记写作真的能带来改变吗？答案是肯定的。)”可知空前提出简短日记能带来改变；空后开始具体介绍日记带来的各种好处；故推知：空处应承接上文，强调坚持小习惯带来改变；选项A“Small habits, if repeated daily, lead to real change. (小习惯如果每天坚持，会带来真正的改变。)”符合题意。故选A。 2．根据前文“Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. (一旦杂乱清除，你的大脑会感觉更平静，注意力也会恢复。)”可知空前将写日记比作清理杂乱桌面，能让大脑更清净；故推知：空处应总结这种“大脑清理”的作用；选项F“This simple “mental clean-up” is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress. (这种简单的“大脑清理”是缓解压力最快的方法之一。)”符合题意。故选F。 3．根据前文“You can prepare yourself, set boundaries, or change how you react. (你可以做好准备、设定界限或改变自己的反应方式。)”可知，空前介绍写日记带来的一些小调整；故推知：空处应说明这些小调整带来的结果；选项G“Over time, these small adjustments help you feel more emotionally balanced. (久而久之，这些小调整会帮助你在情绪上感到更平衡。)”符合题意。故选G。 4．根据前文“That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. (那是因为你的大脑一直记着未完成的想法。)”和后文“Your mind no longer has to guard them. (你的大脑不再需要惦记它们。)”可知空前解释睡前大脑活跃的原因，空后说明大脑不再惦记心事；故推知：空处应说明释放心事的具体办法；选项C“But when you write them down before bed, you release them. (但如果你睡前把它们写下来，就能释放这些心事。)”符合题意。故选C。 5．根据后文“When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. (当你回顾以前的日记，会发现曾经觉得难以承受的烦恼如今显得微不足道。)”可知空后介绍翻看日记能看到自己的成长与变化；故推知：空处应总述日记可以记录成长历程；选项B“Journaling can also become a record of your journey. (日记也可以成为你人生历程的记录。)”符合题意。故选B。 Passage 5 （2026·广东省江门市·二模） When it comes to travelling abroad, many people opt to take part in a group tour because they don’t have to worry much. 1 .

They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. 1 It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. 2 Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. 3 For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? 4 It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. 5 Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A．After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B．A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C．I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D．That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E．Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F．Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G．But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．E 4．C 5．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何写出好的论文提出了一些建议。 1．根据上文“Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers.(许多高中毕业生都带着焦虑来写大学申请论文。他们觉得自己的生活太过平凡，无法编造一个能打动招生官的故事)”以及后文“It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments.(它只需要真实地反映他们的个人成长，从日常生活中汲取灵感)”可知，本句与上文构成转折关系，指出强有力的文章需要真实，而不是编造的故事。故G选项“但是一篇强有力的文章并不需要一个戏剧性的故事”符合语境，故选G。 2．根据上文“I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you.(我曾经和一个不知道写什么的男孩一起工作。家庭吗？最喜欢的科目吗？他一直保持沉默，直到我提议：“爱好？”他害羞地说：“我喜欢拳击。”然后，他的文章展开了，不是关于拳击本身，而是关于自律和韧性，这些品质是任何一所大学都会钦佩的。所以看看那些塑造你的东西)”可知，上文主要论述了如何找到文章的主题然后展开文章的建议。故F选项“一旦找到了主题，这篇文章就自然而然地写好了”符合语境，故选F。 3．根据上文“Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned.(一些学生试图通过非传统的形式来吸引注意力，比如一首诗或一个剧本。大多数仍然遵循传统的讲故事模式：一个引子，一个故事，一个教训)”可知，上文列举了不同的讲故事模式，本句承接上文，说明这些形式的作用。故E选项“无论采用何种形式，一篇文章都会因为它的故事而脱颖而出”符合语境，故选E。 4．根据上文“As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions?(作为一名写作导师，一开始我对语言规则很着迷。我应该帮助我的学生坚持“标准英语”，还是让他们用他们自然说话的方式来写——即使其中包括非正式的表达？)”以及后文“It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone.(这也是关于自然地表达想法，与读者建立联系。用轻松、对话的语气讲述一个幽默的童年事件并没有什么坏处)”可知，本句主要是作者对于写作中的语言的感悟，故C选项“我很快意识到写作不仅仅是语言”符合语境，故选C。 5．根据后文“Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell.(论文写作教会学生通过重新思考思想、精炼语言和重写草稿来精确地表达自己。通过多次编辑，他们将发现更深入的见解，并创造一个只有他们才能讲述的故事)”可知，后文提到经过编辑，文章会融入更深入的见解，说明了修改对于文章的重要性。故B选项“一篇伟大的文章最终是在修改中形成的”符合语境，故选B。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2025·广东汕头市·二模） Globalization has led to a sort of “melting pot” phenomenon. People from different cultures are coming together like never before. Take food, for instance. You can find sushi in São Paulo, tacos in Tokyo, and pizza in Pakistan. It’s amazing, right? But there’s another side. 1 Their unique traditions might start to disappear. 2 TV shows, movies, and music are consumed worldwide. But is this leading to cultural homogenization (均匀化) ? Are we all starting to dress, talk, and act the same way? It’s a worrying thought. But on the other hand, media can also provide a platform for diverse voices. Language is another hot topic when it comes to globalization. English has become the lingua franca (通用语) of the world. 3 But what does this mean for other languages? Some linguists estimate that half of the world’s more than 6000 languages will have disappeared by the end of this century. That is what really needs our attention. Education is also hugely impacted by globalization. Students are no longer limited to their local schools or universities. 4 This leads to a more global perspective, but it also means that educational standards are becoming more uniform. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? So, what’s the conclusion on globalization and its impact on culture? Well, it’s complicated. There are definitely benefits—increased diversity, greater understanding, and more opportunities for cultural exchange. But there are also disadvantages—cultural homogenization, loss of traditional practices, and the threat of a global monoculture. 5 Globalization isn’t a one-way street. It’s a process of giving and taking, of integrating and borrowing. And it’s up to us to shape it in a way that preserves the best of our cultures and also accepts the new. A．The key is to accept the complexity. B．They are influenced by globalization. C．They can study anywhere in the world. D．Small, local cultures might feel threatened. E．Media plays a huge role in cultural globalization. F．It’s the language of business, science, and the internet. G．However, the spread of English can also contribute to global issues. Passage 2 （2025·广东普宁市第二中学·二模） Sweden or Switzerland? Every year,120,000 people ask Google whether they are the same country. Sweden’s tourist board has decided it is time to make it clear that the nation is not, in fact, the same country as Switzerland. According to Visit Sweden, the two countries are constantly being mixed up. 1 Here’s how you can tell the difference between the two European countries. Visit Sweden’s campaign video is titled “Welcome to Sweden” In the video, an official representative standing between two Swedish flags addresses the “leaders and citizens of Switzerland”. 2 Switzerland can talk about mountain tops, yodeling (约德尔唱法) and watches, for example, while Sweden is all about rooftop bars, silence and forgetting about time. “As long as both tourism organizations stick to this division in all communication with the outside world, the confusion should come to an end.” Sweden proposes. 3 If you like historic banks, head to Switzerland, but if you prefer walking down beaches and sandbanks, you should visit Sweden, the tourist board says. In Switzerland, you can “enjoy some spectacular light shows made with projections and LEDs,” Visit Sweden says, but “in Sweden there’s no need for electricity to put on a show.” 4 Finally, the tourist board reminds visitors that while Switzerland is a country of “many interesting sounds” like yodeling and cowbells, 5 A．It has its own natural spectacle — the Northern Lights. B．To clarify this, the tourist board has launched a humorous new campaign. C．Visit Sweden has also detailed some ways to distinguish the two countries. D．Sweden is a place with its natural beauty, making itself spectacular and peaceful. E．She thinks we can tell one from the other the way the people of the two countries live. F．She declares it’s time to clarify the two nations’ distinctions by “who talks about what”. G．Sweden is a place of peace and quiet where the soundscapes will help you “wind down”. 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2026·广东湛江市·二模） When we think about bees and flowers, we usually picture bees flying around beautiful flowers, busy collecting nectar (花蜜). 1 But what if flowers are using their own senses too? Can flowers actually hear bees? Recent scientific research suggests they might, and the way flowers respond to bee sounds is fascinating. Scientists have long known flowers attract bees with colors and sweet smells. But new research has shown that flowers might also be tuning into the sounds that bees make. Bees, when they fly and search for food, produce gentle buzzing sounds (嗡嗡声). For a long time, scientists didn’t think these soft sounds mattered much to plants. 2 In a pioneering study, researchers discovered that some flowers respond to the buzzing of bees by producing sweeter nectar. That means flowers can attract bees visually and through smell. 3 This incredible finding opens up a new understanding of the complex interactions between flowers and bees. But how can a flower hear? Plants don’t have ears like animals, so they must be doing something different. Researchers believe that flowers pick up vibrations (振动) from sound waves. These vibrations move through the air and touch flowers, causing tiny movements that plants can sense. 4 In the same way, flowers might vibrate slightly in response to bee sounds, signaling the plant to produce sweeter nectar. 5 Plants often react to other environmental clues, like sunlight, wind, and touch. Responding to sound waves may just be another clever way that plants adapt to their surroundings and communicate with their partners. A．This is similar to pulling a guitar string. B．Bees are also rewarded for buzzing nearby. C．This type of sensing is not unusual in nature. D．Bees use their sight and smell to find flowers. E．However, recent experiments suggest otherwise. F．The sweeter the nectar is, the happier the bees are. G．On the contrary, bees know what sounds plants prefer. Passage 2 （2026·广东广州市天河区·二模） An impact study is a research done on a certain topic to determine if a certain action would, or is having some sort of effect on its environment or other related issues. The most common type of this study may be an environmental impact study, but there are many other types as well. 1 In an environmental impact study, extensive research may be done before building a road in a certain area. One of the steps may include determining how water runoff may be affected and if there are any vulnerable (脆弱的) streams around. 2 Any found to be in danger could affect the project. While it may seem like a small task, this often not only includes mammals and birds, but insects as well. 3 There have been cases where the unlikeliest of things have held up major developments. For example, the entire highway projects have been put on hold because of a certain species of endangered butterflies in an area. This demonstrates how thorough some of these studies can be. Another type of impact study can also be used to judge an educational program. For example, the impact of the Head Start preschool program in the United States was analyzed to determine if Head Start students do any better than students of similar circumstances who do not have access to the same program. 4 5 In some cases where the negative impact can be reduced by benefits, there may be a net gain to the area. In other cases, the study may indicate ways the negative effects can be minimized. A．A project may still continue despite what an impact study finds. B．An impact study could determine whether or not a project is completed. C．Another aspect could be a survey of plant and animal species in the area. D．It goes without saying that a thorough impact study helps to solve a problem. E．The study will provide evidence for decision-makers to continue the programs. F．The results may be used to decide how much funding such programs will deserve. G．These studies pull data from multiple sources and examine different aspects of the issue. Passage 3 （2026·广东汕头市·二模） Human personalities are typically sorted into two categories: the introverted (内向的) and the extroverted. Introverts prefer quiet reflection, while extroverts lean toward lively interactions. These differing tendencies shape distinct behaviors, often causing misunderstandings. Thus, it is vital to understand them. Introversion and extroversion are at opposite extremes, yet most people fall somewhere in between. 1 For instance, people often become more introverted as they age, a shift driven by changes in motivation, energy levels, and lifestyle. Context also plays a crucial role. Someone who lacks regular social interaction might become outgoing in a new environment. 2 Instead, recognize their dynamic personalities shaped by time and circumstance. When a friend’s behavior unsettles you, first trace the root to their basic nature, which naturally shapes their everyday actions. An introvert may perceive a private question as impolite, while an extrovert might intend friendliness with it. 3 In this way, a solid bond can be formed. Since these character differences easily cause tensions, open dialogue becomes crucial when conflicts arise. 4 And since this is a shared effort, you and your friend must both speak up. If you’re more introverted, you can request pauses to share your ideas; if your friend is more extroverted, he can focus on listening more, which fosters balanced interaction. 5 Introverts do well in quiet reflection, offering others a sense of calm and ease. Extroverts, by contrast, shine with energy, lifting spirits and breaking the stillness. This is why we should embrace each friend with an admiring mindset. We must reject rigid labels, honor differences, and bridge gaps through respect. A．Personality styles are never fixed. B．The first step is to clearly voice your needs. C．However, these conflicts can be worked out. D．Such misunderstandings don’t come from rudeness, just differences. E．Given these differences, set aside judgment and respect these distinctions. F．Every personality, whether introverted or extroverted, has remarkable strengths. G．Therefore, avoid labeling friends simply as absolute “introverts” or “extroverts”. 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （2026·广东佛山市·二模） In a conversation, it’s often not just what we say but what we’re asked that makes the difference. The right question can unlock thoughts and feelings we didn’t even know we wanted to share. Imagine you’re at a party making small talk. Instead of the usual “How’s work?” someone asks, “What’s been inspiring you lately?” 1 You find yourself sharing thoughts about a book that changed your views or a recent experience that moved you. The interaction transforms from polite little chat to genuine engagement. 2 In professional settings, thoughtful questions can lead to better problem-solving and stronger teams. During brainstorming, rather than asking “Any ideas?” try “What would we do if resources were unlimited?” Thoughtful questions like these spark creativity and innovation. What makes a question “good”? The best questions come from pure curiosity and a desire to understand, not to confirm existing beliefs or direct conversations toward predetermined conclusions. 3 Before asking something, consider what you really want to learn about the person or topic. It’s the difference between asking “How’s the new job?” out of politeness and “What’s been most surprising about your new role?” from real interest. Open-ended questions invite richer responses. Instead of “Did you enjoy your vacation?” ask “What moment from your trip will you remember most vividly?” 4 Context matters too. Questions appropriate for close friends might be too personal for new acquaintances. Being mindful of relationships and situations helps create comfortable and meaningful exchanges. The art of asking questions and establishing deeper connections is an ongoing journey. 5 Each one is an invitation to understand someone better, to see the world through their eyes, and to create moments of close human connection. Your next question might unlock an in-depth conversation, a new understanding, or even a life-changing relationship. A．Suddenly, the conversation shifts. B．You might not know how to respond. C．This power extends beyond social situations. D．Creating powerful questions starts with genuine curiosity. E．A good question makes the other person feel positive and uplifted. F．This way, you’re encouraging specific experiences and emotions sharing. G．As you move forward, challenge yourself to ask more meaningful questions. Passage 2 （2026·广东省茂名市·二模） Stressful situations can’t be avoided in daily life. You’re getting ready to meet someone for a first date. 1 Or worst-case scenario (情况), you’re facing an emergency. Your hands start to shake, your heart races, and your mind floods with negative thoughts. It’s common for the body’s natural “fight-or-flight” response to kick in, and it may be hard to react the way you would otherwise like to under pressure. 2 When the next high-stress situation arises, you are better prepared. One technique is to exercise the heart rate variability, or HRV, which is the way in which a person’s heart rate goes up and down and constantly varies. Having a higher HRV is a sign that your nervous system is healthy. 3 Be aware that your reaction to stress is not abnormal. When a person starts to feel the sensations of stress, thoughts such as “I can’t do this” or panic begin to happen. But when you’re mindful that these reactions are normal, you can use that awareness to your advantage. 1 Experts recommend breathing in normally through the nose for four seconds and breathing out — as if you are gently blowing out a candle — for six seconds to help the body get to the best state. Ultimately, it is important to remember that stress is unavoidable, especially when emergencies happen. 2 It keeps our nervous systems prepared to respond when we need to, and to go back to a state of calm when things are OK and there’s no threat in the environment. A．A little bit of stress is good for us. B．But you can train the mind and body. C．You have difficulty breathing normally. D．It is important to stay calm in an emergency. E．You’re standing up to speak in front of a crowd. F．Reminding yourself to take slower breaths is also important. G．And your heart can adapt better to daily challenges and stressors. Passage 3 （2025·广东湛江市·二模） The Ultimate Guide to Making Your Dreams Happen There is no greater time than now to start living your dreams. But how do you do it? All you have to do is visualize your success and take baby steps with individual goals. Be specific about your dream Think of it this way: If you don’t know what you really want, how can you achieve it? 1 . What do you need to accomplish them? How can you make progress each day? For example, let’s say you want to be an accomplished writer. Take some time to think about what type of writer you want to be—what do you really want. If you want to write a book, that might involve writing a chapter each day. Create a plan of action 2 . When do you want to accomplish this goal? What steps do you need to take to get there? Write down every step of your plan, or make a to-do list to help yourself stay on track. 3 As you start on the path to making your dreams come true, it’s important to have a sense of what you are accomplishing. Even if you’re not moving as quickly as you’d like, you’re still moving forward and making progress. Visualize your success Close your eyes and picture what your life will be like when your dream comes true. 4 . This can help you feel motivated when you’re stuck or feeling down. Believe in yourself Being confident and self-assured is a great way to stay on track. When you believe in yourself, it can be easier to keep moving forward, even when things get tough. 5 . A．Turn your dream into a desire B．Review your progress regularly C．If you believe you can do it, there’s nothing that can stop you D．Imagine the excitement and joy you’ll experience when your dream becomes a reality E．View your dreams as goals and desires so they’re easier to break down and accomplish F．The time away from your goal or dream can actually make you more eager to accomplish it G．It is suggested that you write your dreams down in a notebook like they were attainable goals Passage 4 （2026·广东惠州市·二模） At first glance, the idea of living a minimalist (极简主义的) lifestyle may sound difficult, restrictive, or even boring. I was a bit doubtful when I first decided to take on minimalist living. 1 Becoming a minimalist has given me more time and freedom for what I love and value. It’s pretty common for beginners to think that minimalism starts with hard-to-manage habits and rules. 2 Minimalism starts with your mindset, the lens through which you are viewing your life, then moves outward from there to become actionable habits and steps. Another big misunderstanding when it comes to living a minimalist life is that the main goal of becoming a minimalist is to get rid of as much stuff as possible. Wrong again! The main goal of minimalism is to get rid of the things that don’t contribute to the value of your daily life. 3 In order to make more space for the things you value, you first have to identify what those things are. Ask yourself what your life could use more of and what you could use less of in your day-to-day life. 4 If something is annoying you in your day-to-day life, you had better address these things and keep them from dragging you down further. 5 When you’re getting started, don’t focus too much on the end result or on the most difficult things to change. Start with the easiest things to change and work your way up from there. Making small amounts of progress can help improve your motivation and inspire you to keep going. A．It’s nothing but an excuse. B．This couldn’t be further from the truth! C．Fixing what bothers you is also necessary. D．This leaves more space for you to boost productivity. E．But doing so has given me a life I genuinely love living. F．So you can make space for what’s most important to you. G．Just start simple and realize becoming a minimalist is a journey. 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·广东深圳市福田某校·二模） Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. 1 On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. 2 According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. 3 First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments. What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. 4 This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress. But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. 5 It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are. In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope. A．But why do we love nostalgia so much? B．This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us. C．Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs. D．However, psychology experts say there’s more to it. E．It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic. F．Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy. G．Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life. Passage 2 （2026·广东深圳市·二模） For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. 1 It wasn’t that I disliked others; keeping to myself just seemed easier. Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up. 2 Without warning, the power went out. The building fell into complete darkness. I sat alone in my apartment, the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead. The silence was familiar. Yet this time, it seemed different. Less comforting. More exposed. A soft knock broke the stillness. It was my neighbour from 3B, someone I recognised but hardly knew. She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled. 3 People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation. I listened more than I spoke. The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour. 4 I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离). When the lights finally returned, the hallway looked the same, but it felt different. I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space. 5 It’s about knowing when to let them in. Now, when I step into the elevator, I don’t automatically lower my eyes. Sometimes, I look up. A．After a moment, I stepped outside. B．I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation. C．I began to question my decision to join the conversation. D．Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well. E．As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen. F．But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out. G．That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city. 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 （2025·广东省·二模） Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. 1 Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. 2 For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. 3 Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. 4 Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. 5 By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A．So is this trend bound to continue? B．But is online medical advice actually reliable? C．These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D．An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E．Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F．Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G．Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. Passage 2 （2025·广东省莞佛联考·二模） Olympic medals are among the most respected honors in the sporting world, symbolizing not only athletic victory, but also the rich history, fine craftsmanship, and longstanding traditions of the Games. 1 Are they made entirely of gold, silver, and bronze? And what makes the Paris 2024 Olympic medals special? Originally, Olympic winners in 776 BCE were honored with olive wreaths (橄榄花环) rather than medals. The concept of medals as we know them today first emerged at the 1896 Athens Games. However, solid gold medals were no longer awarded after 1912. 2 As a result, the International Olympic Committee later updated the regulations regarding medal composition and design. Modern gold medals are primarily composed of 92.5% silver with a six-gram gold plating for appearance. 3 They contain at least 92.5% pure silver, and bronze medals consist of 95% copper and 5% zinc (锌). This mixture ensures the medals’ longevity and makes them cheaper. An Olympic gold medal may be worth over £500, but its value to athletes goes beyond its financial worth. 4 For instance, the 2012 London Olympics medals featured the River Thames and London skyline. Rio 2016 focused on sustainability by using leftover mirrors and X-ray plates. Tokyo 2020 medals, made from recycled electronics, emphasized technological innovation. For the Paris 2024 Olympics, the medals are particularly distinctive. Each features a hexagon (六边形) with the Paris 2024 logo on one side and Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, in front of the Eiffel Tower on the other. 5 As Thierry Reboul, creative director of Paris 2024, stated, “These medals offer athletes a physical piece of Paris to take home.” A．Pure gold is soft and easily damaged. B．When were these medals first introduced? C．Who is responsible for designing the medals? D．Silver medals, by contrast, live up to their names. E．With these symbols, they honor the history of the Olympics. F．Unique to this year, the medals use metal from the Eiffel Tower. G．The design of medals reflects the host city’s distinct style and values. 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1 （2026·广东阳江市·二模） In a fast-paced world full of distractions, staying focused on tasks for long stretches takes intentional practice. 1 While reading a book or doing homework, we get distracted by the slightest sound or our own thoughts. 2 For example, say “I am here” to yourself when your attention moves away. This will bring your focus back to the present moment. 3 Fix a period of time — two or three hours — during which you will not check your phone or other gadgets. Don’t worry about missing out on important communication: People can always call you in case of an emergency. Mindfulness means paying full attention to what is happening around you. When you get up, sit in a comfortable place and use your five senses to focus on your surroundings. Look around you and identify five things that were always there. Next, concentrate on the sounds around you. 4 Pay attention to the taste of tea, coffee or milk you may be drinking. Is it sweet or bitter? Mindfulness can bring reason to even the most chaotic situations. We often get distracted while speaking to other people. To keep your attention from wandering, imagine a lit bulb over the head of the person you are speaking to. Even if you are talking to someone on the phone, visualize their face with a bulb over their head. 5 With these small, consistent practices, you’ll gradually build a more focused mind-able to engage more deeply with whatever you do. A．What kinds of smells can you identify? B．What funny stories can you think of to lighten up? C．Take a quick phone break when you feel your focus dropping. D．To bring our attention back, it helps to associate a phrase to it. E．This practice can improve your attention and interactions with others. F．Keep track of the number of times you check your phone in one hour. G．These simple exercises will help you strengthen your sustained attention. Passage 2 （2025·广东省高州市·二模） SLEEP BETTER TONIGHT We all need a little sleep support sometimes. Losing out on all-important sleeping hours can be frustrating and unsettling. 1 Even if you have good nighttime habits in general, you may still sometimes have difficulty settling into slumber. These expert-backed sleep hacks just might help you get to dreamland. Make over your mornings. A good night’s rest starts when you say “Rise and shine!” the morning before. To improve your sleep, establish a consistent morning routine: Focus on waking up at around the same time each day. Try to expose yourself to daylight. And fuel up with an energizing breakfast. 2 Set the mood. At night, try switching to amber or red lightbulbs in a lamp or two. These are less mentally stimulating and can trigger natural melatonin (褪黑素) production. It’s an easy decoration adjustment to look for a salt lamp or colorchanging lightbulbs. 3 And do your best to stop using these devices about an hour before bedtime. 4 Soaking in a warm tub or standing under a steamy stream about 75 to 90 minutes before bedtime can be helpful, as the warm water initially raises your body temperature, and then as the water cools down, that helps promote sleep onset. You sleep more soundly when your body temperature is cooler. Use your imagination. 5 Close your eyes and spend a moment visualizing a calming, pleasant environment such as a forest, a beach, or a mountain scene. Pleasant imagery before drifting off may help calm the mind, and in turn the body, to ease transition to sleep. A．Take a bubble bath or a hot shower. B．Follow this road map to better your sleep. C．Too little sleeping can cast a shadow over your health. D．Squeeze in a morning workout if your schedule allows. E．They connect with an app that lets you change the light color. F．Also, switch smartphone, laptop, and tablet screens to night mode. G．A short imagery can help create peaceful feelings that may send you to sleep. Passage 3 （2025·广东清远市·二模） The Art of Giving Compliments (称赞) Compliments create a positive impact, uplifting both the giver and receiver. Let’s start lifting each other up more often with encouraging words. One important aspect of giving compliments is to acknowledge the small things in life. You don’t need to wait around for some big achievement to offer a compliment to somebody. If it’s something really obvious, they’ve probably been complimented on it plenty of times before. 1 What may seem unimportant to you might mean a lot to somebody else. Like somebody’s jacket? Let them know! Impressed with someone’s handwriting? Tell them. Additionally, when giving compliments, it’s crucial to be specific. If you want to encourage positive change in someone, give them specific compliments. The more specific your compliments are, the more likely they are to continue the positive behavior. This helps them identify what they’re doing right. For this reason, children who grew up with parents who gave them a lot of general praise, “You’re so smart!” or, “You’re so special!” tend to feel lost in adulthood. 2 Another key element in the art of complimenting is sincerity. Compliments that are clearly insincere won’t win you any points. 3 If a person knows you’re lying, that will destroy their trust in you and de-value your future compliments. So, always keep in mind that honesty is the best policy when it comes to giving compliments. 4 Non-present compliments are those you yourself offer about someone else when they’ re not around. Repeating them always works wonders. For example, I was recently talking to my brother about working on the blog. I mentioned how I really admire Kate’s determination to finish an article on a tight deadline, even if it means staying up all night to do it.

The answer is yes. 1 When you spend just ten minutes journaling, you give your mind a place to unload everything that has been circling in your head. Instead of letting worries take over, you put them on paper where you can see them. It’s like clearing a messy desk. Once the mess is gone, your mind feels quieter and your focus returns. 2 Many people describe feeling lighter and calmer after they write. That sense of control is especially important when life feels busy or unpredictable. Journaling also strengthens self-awareness. As days pass, patterns begin to appear. You may notice that every Monday feels heavy, or that certain conversations leave you exhausted. This awareness gives you choices. You can prepare yourself, set boundaries, or change how you react. 3 Sleep is another area where journaling can work wonders. Have you ever noticed that your mind becomes most active when the lights go out? That is your brain holding on to unfinished thoughts. 4 Your mind no longer has to guard them. Studies show that people who journal at night fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper rest. 5 When you look back at old pages, you see worries that once felt too heavy to handle now seem small. You notice your progress. You see growth. And that reminder — that you are changing, step by step — is one of the strongest sources of motivation you can have. A．Small habits, if repeated daily, lead to real change. B．Journaling can also become a record of your journey. C．But when you write them down before bed, you release them. D．A fixed journaling time, like before bed, suits most people best. E．Having regular conversations with your friends helps you feel relaxed. F．This simple “mental clean-up” is one of the fastest ways to reduce stress. G．Over time, these small adjustments help you feel more emotionally balanced. Passage 5 （2026·广东省江门市·二模） When it comes to travelling abroad, many people opt to take part in a group tour because they don’t have to worry much. 1 . Here are some tips for getting the most out of your group tour. Budget accordingly When planning your group tour, budgeting is one of the most important factors. It’s important to read the itinerary (行程) carefully before you book and add up all the exclusions. 2 , so make sure you factor these potential expenses in. Know your geography 3 , as strict time limits can prevent you from partaking in back-to-back tours. If the itinerary doesn’t list distances or time between destinations, hit up digital maps to get an idea of how long you’re expected to be in transit during each leg of the tour. 4 If you’re heading on a group tour, don’t leave it until the day of departure to reach your destination. The last thing you want is to fail to catch a connecting flight or hit any other sort of delay. That’s because it will cause you to miss the tour you’ve paid for. Aim to get there the day before at the very latest and give yourself a little extra free time .Keep some cash on hand While most of your tour should already be paid for before you set out, you should always be prepared for extra expenses. Especially when you’re travelling to more remote locations or if you’re visiting smaller food markets, you shouldn’t assume everywhere will take card payments. 5 A．Don’t arrive at the last minute B．Be familiar with your destination C．Don’t skip between different destinations D．You should save as much money as possible E．So make sure you have local currency on you at all times F．However, there are always a few matters needing attention G．Extra costs can include meals, attractions, and additional activities Passage 6 （2025·广东省深圳市·二模） Many high school seniors approach the college application essay with anxiety. They feel their lives are too ordinary to create a story that will impress admissions officers. 1 It just needs to be a genuine reflection of their personal growth, drawn from everyday moments. I once worked with a boy who had no idea what to write about. Family? Favorite subject? He kept silent until I suggested, “Hobbies?” He shyly said, “I like boxing.” Then his essay unfolded, not about boxing itself, but about self-discipline and resilience (坚韧), qualities that any college would admire. So look into the things that shape you. 2 Some students try to catch attention by writing their essays in unconventional forms, such as a poem or a play. Most still follow the traditional storytelling model: a hook (引子), a story, and a lesson learned. 3 For example, the rough edges and the pleasant smell of her father’s handmade furniture inspired one girl to become an engineer. The magic is in the details and emotional depth. As a writing tutor, I was hung up on language rules at first. Should I help my students stick to “standard English,” or let them write the way they naturally speak — even if that includes informal expressions? 4 It’s also about expressing ideas naturally and making connections with readers. It doesn’t hurt to tell a humorous childhood incident in a light, conversational tone. 5 Essay writing teaches students to express themselves with precision through rethinking ideas, refining language, and rewriting drafts. With multiple edits, they will uncover deeper insights and create a story only they can tell. A．After all, I preferred a formal writing style. B．A great essay eventually takes form in revision. C．I soon realized writing isn’t just about language. D．That’s why they try to make up appealing stories. E．Whatever the form, an essay stands out for its story. F．Once a topic clicks, the essay practically writes itself. G．But a powerful essay doesn’t require a dramatic story. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） 参考答案 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1：1．D 2．E 3．F 4．C 5．A Passage 2：1．B 2．F 3．C 4．A 5．G 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1：1．D 2．E 3．B 4．A 5．C Passage 2：1．G 2．C 3．B 4．F 5．A Passage 3：1．A 2．G 3．C 4．E 5．F 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1：1．A 2．C 3．D 4．F 5．G Passage 2：1．E 2．B 3．G 4．F 5．A Passage 3：1．G 2．E 3．B 4．D 5．C Passage 4：1．E 2．B 3．F 4．C 5．G 主题01 人与社会——历史社会与文化 Passage 1：1．A 2．D 3．C 4．E 5．G Passage 2：1．B 2．G 3．A 4．E 5．F 主题02 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1：1．B 2．E 3．D 4．G 5．C Passage 2：1．B 2．A 3．D 4．G 5．F 主题03 人与自我——做人与做事 Passage 1：1．G 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．E Passage 2：1．C 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．G Passage 3：1．D 2．F 3．C 4．G 5．B Passage 4：1．A 2．F 3．G 4．C 5．B Passage 5：1．F 2．G 3．C 4．A 5．E Passage 6：1．G 2．F 3．E 4．C 5．B / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
