Lack of sleep harms both physical and mental health. It may lead to emotional instability and poor decision-making abilities, often accompanied by depressive symptoms (症状). 1 Here are some practical tips to help you sleep better. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. Set a regular sleep and wake time to train your body's internal clock. 2 And it also makes it easier to fall asleep at a reasonable hour. AIM for seven to nine hours of sleep each night to ensure you're well-rested. 3 Establishing a relaxing pre-sleep routine signals to your brain that it's time to wind down. Activities like reading, listening to calming music, or taking a warm bath can help relax both mind and body. Avoid intense physical activities or any stressful tasks, as they make it harder to settle down. Limiting screen exposure is also crucial. 4 Improve your sleep environment. Make your bedroom cool (18—22℃), quiet, and dark. You can do this by hanging curtains to block out light, as well as considering earplugs or white noise if noise is an issue. 5   Finally, reserve your bed for sleep and relaxation rather than for working or watching TV. This helps your brain associate the bedroom with rest, promoting earlier and more restful sleep. A．Create a calming bedtime routine. B．Adjust your body’s internal clock. C．Additionally, invest in quality bedding for easier sleep. D．A steady schedule helps improve the quality of your sleep. E．Mild symptoms can sometimes be managed with regular exercise.

Here’s how to build a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition: Beyond the Trends Experts say being consistent (持续的) is better than extremes. Extreme diets may promise fast results, but they often break the body’s natural rhythm and cause nutrient shortages. 6 . A 2024 study showed that people who ate 5-6 small meals daily with balanced nutrition had metabolic speeds (新陈代谢速度) 23 higher than crash dieters. Movement: Beyond the Gym The WHO suggests 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) exercise weekly. 7 . Research shows short periods of movement matter more than long workouts. The truth is, your body build up on frequent,gentle exercise rather than occasional hard training. Sleep: The Ignored Healer Sleep quality deeply affects emotional strength. Yet its mental benefits are often underestimated. For example, enough sleep improves problem-solving skills. Actually there are many ways to improve sleep quality. 8 . Social Connection: The Biological Necessity Unlike short social media interactions, real human bonds trigger the release of a hormone (激素) that reduces stress and boosts immunity (免疫力). 9 . Social researchers found communities with strong bonds had 35 lower lifestyle illness rates. Mindful Technology Use: The Final Piece 10 , like creating “tech-free zones” during meals or using apps to track screen time. This full integration (整合) reshapes daily habits. A 2023 Stanford experiment showed participants avoiding screens 2 hours before bed had 31 less stress-eating, linking less device use to better eating habits. A．Using technology thoughtfully means efficiency B．Using technology mindfully means setting limits C．One of them is to create a “digital break” before bed D．This hormone helps lower blood pressure and improve heart health E．A balanced approach means enjoying different foods without strict rules F．Extreme workouts are proven to burn more calories than moderate exercise G．But many people focus on intense workouts while ignoring daily movement 【答案】6．E 7．G 8．C 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了平衡生活的艺术，包括营养、运动、睡眠、社交联系和明智使用技术五个方面，强调通过持久习惯来平衡身体、心理和精神健康。 6．由上文“Experts say being consistent (持续的) is better than extremes.Extreme diets may promise fast results, but they often break the body’s natural rhythm and cause nutrient shortages. (专家表示，持续稳定比极端做法更好。极端饮食可能会带来快速的效果，但它们往往会打破身体的自然节奏，导致营养短缺。)”及下文“A 2024 study showed that people who ate 5-6 small meals daily with balanced nutrition had metabolic speeds 23% higher than crash dieters. (2024年的一项研究表明，每天吃5-6顿营养均衡的小餐的人，其新陈代谢速度比速成节食者高出23%。)”可知，此处应强调均衡饮食的重要性，与极端饮食形成对比。E选项“A balanced approach means enjoying different foods without strict rules (平衡的方法意味着在没有严格规则的情况下享受不同的食物)”进一步解释了平衡饮食的概念，能承上启下，符合题意。故选E。 7．由上文“The WHO suggests 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) exercise weekly. (世界卫生组织建议每周进行150分钟的适度锻炼。)”及下文“Research shows short periods of movement matter more than long workouts. The truth is,your body build up on frequent,gentle exercise rather than occasional hard training. (研究表明，短时间的运动比长时间锻炼更重要。事实上，你的身体是通过频繁、温和的锻炼而强健起来的，而不是偶尔的艰苦训练。)”可知，此处应体现人们对运动的错误认知，即忽视日常的适度运动，而专注于高强度锻炼。G选项“But many people focus on intense workouts while ignoring daily movement (但是很多人注重剧烈运动而忽略了日常活动)”指出了人们常犯的错误，即过于注重剧烈运动而忽视了日常活动，能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 8．由上文“Actually there are many ways to improve sleep quality. (实际上，有很多方法可以提高睡眠质量。)”可知，此处应列举一种改善睡眠质量的方法。C选项“One of them is to create a “digital break”before bed (其中之一就是在睡前创造一个“数字休息时间”)”具体介绍了其中一种方法，即睡前避免使用电子设备，与上文内容相呼应，符合题意。故选C。 9．由上文“Unlike short social media interactions, real human bonds trigger the release of a hormone (激素) that reduces stress and boosts immunity (免疫力). (与短暂的社交媒体互动不同，真实的人际关系会触发一种激素的释放，这种激素可以减轻压力，增强免疫力。)”可知，此处应进一步说明这种激素的作用。D选项“This hormone helps lower blood pressure and improve heart health (这种激素有助于降低血压，改善心脏健康)”进一步解释了这种激素的好处，与上文内容相衔接，符合题意。故选D。 10．由小标题“Mindful Technology Use: The Final Piece (用心使用科技：最后一环)”及下文“like creating “tech-free zones” during meals or using apps to track screen time. (比如在吃饭时创建“无科技区域”或使用应用程序来跟踪屏幕使用时间。)”可知，此处应强调使用科技时要设定限制。B选项“Using technology mindfully means setting limits (有意识地使用科技意味着设定限制)”既点明了小标题的内涵，又引出了下文关于设定限制的具体例子，符合题意。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·山东淄博·期末）The Library Guardian In the heart of Sunnyside Community, Ms. Clara, a 72-year-old retiree, has turned the local library into a lifeline for children and seniors. For 15 years, she’s arrived at 8:30 a. m. to unlock the doors, prepare storytime kits and dust the shelves. 11 “Many kids here don’t have books at home,” she says. “A library card is their first step to freedom.” Ms. Clara’s impact goes beyond books. She remembers every child’s name and favorite works — Liam loves space novels while Mia adores graphic novels. 12 “She notices when a kid misses a week,” says parent Tom. “She’ll call us to check if they’re okay.” For seniors, Ms. Clara hosts monthly “Memory Lane” sessions in the library, where they share photos and stories. In fact, seniors often arrive early to help her set up chairs. “Clara makes me feel useful again,” says Mr. Chen, who now brings his late wife’s recipes to the group. 13 When the library faced budget cuts last year, Ms. Clara gathered the community. She organized a bake sale, invited local artists for a charity auction (拍卖会), and even taught the kids to write letters to council members. 14 “We didn’t just save the library,” she smiles brightly, “We proved we’re a family.” Today, the library’s walls are covered with kids’ drawings and thank-you notes. 15 “My reward is seeing ashy child grin when I hand them their first book” she says. “That’s why I keep coming back.” A．Her efforts prevented the library from closing. B．The shelves hold more than 2,000 donated books. C．She even memorizes their birthdays and favorite snacks. D．She also volunteers at the local senior center twice a week. E．This routine is her way of saying “welcome” to every visitor. F．Some kids call her “Grandma Clara” when they hug her goodbye. G．These sessions have become a highlight for seniors longing for connection. 【答案】11．E 12．C 13．G 14．A 15．F 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了 72 岁的退休老人克拉拉女士，在阳光社区的当地图书馆，15 年来通过整理图书、关注孩子情况、为老人举办活动等方式，成为社区图书馆的守护者，将图书馆变成孩子和老人的生命线，在图书馆面临预算削减时，她组织社区力量成功挽救图书馆的故事。 11．根据上文“For 15 years, she’s arrived at 8: 30 a. m. to unlock the doors, prepare storytime kits and dust the shelves.(15 年来，她每天早上 8 点半到达图书馆，开门、准备故事时间用品并擦拭书架)” 可知，承接前文，解释克拉拉女士日常行为的意义。E选项“这种日常工作是她向每一位访客表示“欢迎”的方式)” 符合语境，故选E。 12．根据上文“She remembers every child’s name and favorite works — Liam loves space novels while Mia adores graphic novels.(她记得每个孩子的名字和最喜欢的作品 —— 利亚姆喜欢太空小说，而米娅喜欢漫画小说)” 以及下文““She notices when a kid misses a week,” says parent Tom. “She’ll call us to check if they’re okay.”(‘她会注意到一个孩子是否一周没来，’家长汤姆说，‘她会打电话给我们，询问孩子是否安好’)” 可知，进一步说明克拉拉女士对孩子们的关注程度，与前文她记得孩子名字和喜欢的作品相呼应，引出后文她对孩子缺席的关注。C选项“她甚至记得他们的生日和最喜欢的零食” 符合语境，故选C。 13．根据上文“For seniors, Ms. Clara hosts monthly “Memory Lane” sessions in the library, where they share photos and stories.

We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. 6 Here are some tips one can follow. Be sure of your own value. You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason. 7 When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go. Keep saying no. 8 Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say. Speak up. People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want. 9 Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard. Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. 10 It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again. A．Say sorry actively. B．Apologize properly. C．It seems common to agree to everything. D．Chances are that you’ll fail into old patterns midway. E．What counts much is to change some of your daily habits. F．Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make. G．Learn to use your voice bravely if you’d like to overcome people-pleasing. 【答案】6．E 7．B 8．C 9．G 10．D 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何改变“讨好型人格”习惯的一些方法。 6．上文“Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so.(成为一个讨人喜欢的人是许多人的第二天性。我们往往会不顾自己的需要，让周围的人平静下来。事实上，这样做是不健康的)”讲到了讨好型人格往往会不顾自己，讨好别人，是不健康的，下文“Here are some tips one can follow.(这里有一些建议可以遵循)”及下文介绍如何改变这种人格的方法，E选项“重要的是改变你的一些日常习惯”表示要改变这种习惯，从而改变讨好型人格，承上启下。故选E。 7．空处为小标题，后文“However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.(然而，在你道歉之前，停下来看看情况。真诚而及时地道歉，前提是这真的是你的错。否则就随它去吧)”表明不要一味地道歉，如果真是自己的错误才应该道歉，B选项“适当道歉”可以概括本小段主旨。故选B。 8．下文“Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it.(事实上，克服讨好别人的习惯需要人们明白，你可以说不，而且是认真的)”并结合本段小标题可知，此处表示要勇敢拒绝，C选项“一切都同意似乎很常见”表示同意是常见的，与后文形成对比，引出下文的观点，适合作为段首句。故选C。 9．上文“Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want.(很多时候，我只是保持沉默并同意，即使我真的不喜欢这些计划。当我被要求处理我不想要的东西时，痛苦就会涌上心头)”表示作者保持沉默勉强接受不喜欢的计划，但是内心痛苦，下文“Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.(甚至有时候你必须大声喊叫才能让别人听到)”可知，空处表示应说出自己的想法，G选项“如果你想克服取悦别人的缺点，就要学会勇敢地使用自己的声音”符合主旨。故选G。 10．上文“Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you.(毫无疑问，想要违背你喜欢取悦身边每一个人的天性是很难的)”表示改变习惯是困难的，下文“It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.(我也一样。最好的部分是我们得到了新的一天的恩典，可以重新开始)”表示作者也是一样，但是可以不停尝试，D选项“很有可能你会中途陷入旧的模式”符合上文说明改变天性是困难的这一观点，表示有可能会失败，符合语境。故选D。 Passage 3 （23-24高二下·湖北孝感·期末）Asking for or accepting help can bring up a wide range of complicated emotions, like there’s the fear of being seen as needy or weak. Although accepting help from others is difficult, giving and receiving is a necessary part of life. 11 . For many people, the difficulty in asking for or receiving help is tied to childhood. As psychologist Lisa Firestone points out, these feelings often develop from having our requests go unnoticed at an earlier age. Sometimes these unnoticed requests are a result of neglect or because parents are too busy to notice. Maybe they were undertaking some jobs to make ends meet or didn’t have additional family support to spare. 12 . When your needs go unnoticed, it can create feelings of shame about asking for or receiving help, while also forming an extreme sense of independence. How do you get better at accepting help? One way to get better at accepting help is to start with small requests, such as asking for directions. 13 . Practicing this in good environment can ease some of the emotions that can appear suddenly. 14 . If you feel very uncomfortable, wait a few moments to let these feelings calm down before accepting or denying the help. Helping others feels good. Although asking for help is hard, one way to make it a little easier is to focus on how it feels when you help others. 15 . A．Start small and make it a habit B．It can feel like a burden to ask for help C．Whatever the cause is, it may affect you D．Having needs ignored can make asking for help difficult E．We grow up in situations where help comes with duties attached F．And remember that the same thing applies when others are helping you G．Another way to get better at accepting help is to listen to your internal reactions 【答案】11．D 12．C 13．A 14．G 15．F 【导语】本文是说明文。虽然接受别人的帮助是有些困难的，但给予和接受是生活中必不可少的一部分。 11．根据下文“For many people, the difficulty in asking for or receiving help is tied to childhood.

We won’t repeat the warnings about children and screen time here, but we admit it: Pulling them away from video game can be tricky, as they’re so addicted. 26 Many botanical gardens and nature preserves offer programs tailored for children and families. These include yoga classes, treasure hunts, and flashlight evening walks. If no classes or activities are available, try encouraging your kids to feel the grass under their feet or notice the butterflies and insects that call the grounds their home. 27 When you get home, have them search for any similar ones in your backyard. Sidewalk chalk, such as drawing butterflies on the pavement (人行道) , is an old but reliable standby that can fire up your child’s imagination. Nevertheless, it can quickly become tiresome for your kids. 28 You could start a tic-tac-toe game using sticks and rocks or go on a hike and give each other points for each animal or tree they see. 29 However, sometimes your kid isn’t into it — or is too little to hike any real distance. In that case, let them be the leader and decide your family’s direction. 30 It gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility to the activity and engages them a lot more. A．To develop a sense of curiosity in children counts. B．A walk in the woods can be great for the whole family. C．Have some ideas ready on the fly to keep them occupied. D．However, sunshine and exercise might change their attitude. E．That’s one of the masterpieces you can transform nature into. F．You are not necessarily reaching the destination you want to reach.

Because the bakers cannot hear, they pay more attention to what they see, especially details others tend to overlook. 18 It is important for the bakery because bread quality can be judged by its appearance, Hofmueller explains. Hofmueller and his wife have added new flavors and launched a WeChat account and mini-program. They share bakery news on WeChat moments every day. 19 The locals come to the store to eat and gather. He often jokes that they run the store with him. When Hofmueller made a post asking where he should buy an oven on his WeChat moments, he received many suggestions. Planning to work with vocational schools, he aims to expand the bakery’s training programs to assist and train more people, not just people with hearing loss. “It is very meaningful,” Hofmueller says. “No matter what I do, I feel a strong sense of responsibility.” 20 He knows it is what he wants. A．He follows and trusts his heart. B．The bakery’s employees are a priority. C．It soon becomes popular among locals. D．In this bakery silence speaks more than words.

However, another friend who’s usually not part of the group is desperate to come along. You feel you should include him because of kindness, but you worry it might ruin the dynamic of your usual gathering. 21 However, there are ways to find a solution. Why does it weigh heavily? Humans are born to seek security. 22 So, being left out of social occasions can make you feel anxious and low, and impact your self-perception. Introducing the plans disliked by other friends might make you feel insecure about your own place in the circle.

It can help everyone bond, deepen friendships, and even boost your self-confidence if the day goes well. 23 There might be several reasons for wanting to keep numbers low. For example, some people don’t get on and you might worry that the person you bring along wouldn’t fit in. 24 honest communication: clearly express that you don’t want to hurt or exclude them. Show you are honoring someone’s wish to be included while explaining the situation’s complexity. Being clear and kind helps prevent misunderstandings. In order to strike a balance, remember, you should care about others’ feelings as well as your own. Be kind and sensitive to others’ feelings. 25 A．What changes can you make?

This guide can teach you the basics so you can get your point across quickly and calmly. Before you speak, it’s essential to organize your thoughts by using key points. A good rule is to choose three main points to center your conversation around. That way, if you stay away from the main point, you’ll be able to return to one or more of your points without feeling anxious. If possible, write your talking points down on your phone’s Notes app or an index card for reference. 27 Communication, however, is not just about talking. 28 By actively listening, you can measure how much of your message is getting through your listener(s) and whether or not it’s being received correctly or needs to be adjusted. If your audience needs clarification, asking for feedback us often helpful. Moreover, maintaining eye contact during a conversation or presentation can build connection, help convince others you’re trustworthy and show interest. During a conversation or presentation, maintain eye contact for as long as it feels natural. Nevertheless, be aware that eye contact is culturally determined. In some cultures, it is considered to be unsettling or inappropriate. 29 In addition to verbal and visual cues, your body language also plays a pivotal role in communication. Strive to reflect passion using soft, gentle, aware facial expressions. Avoid negative facial expressions, such as frowns or raised eyebrows. 30 If you need to learn the culture, ask questions about the communication challenges you might face before you start to speak with people in an unfamiliar cultural context. A．Communication is a two-way street. B．Pay attention to non-verbal communication. C．Ask about this in particular or do research in advance. D．Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly. E．Similarly, be sure to express clearly to avoid any kind of misunderstanding. F．This will help you stay on topic and be absolutely clear about your intention. G．What is or isn’t negative depends on the context, especially the cultural context. 【答案】26．D 27．F 28．A 29．C 30．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个提高沟通技巧的建议。 26．上文“Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been solved with more communication?(你是否曾经处理过一个简单的误解，而这个误解本可以通过更多的沟通来解决？)”指出有时一个误解可以用简单的沟通来解决，下文“Someone with strong communication skills can build positive connections, strengthen their relationships, and solve conflicts. (沟通能力强的人可以建立积极的联系，加强他们的关系，解决冲突)”指出沟通能力强的人能解决冲突。由此可知，有效的交流是清楚地表达自己。D项“有效的沟通是关于清楚地表达你的感受。”符合语境，承上启下。故选D。 27．空处位于段末，应承接上文。上文“If possible, write your talking points down on your phone’s Notes app or an index card for reference.(如果可能的话，把你的谈话要点写在手机的Notes应用程序或索引卡上以供参考)”建议可以把谈话的要点写在手机Notes应用程序或索引卡上，由此推知，空处应陈述这样做的好处。F项“这能帮助你紧扣主题，并且对自己的意图有绝对清晰的认知。”符合语境，this指代上文建议的方法。故选F。 28．根据上文“Communication, however, is not just about talking.(然而，沟通不仅仅是交谈)”和下文“By actively listening, you can measure how much of your message is getting through your listener(s) and whether or not it’s being received correctly or needs to be adjusted.(通过积极倾听，你能够判断自己传递的信息有多少被听者接收到了，以及这些信息是否被正确理解，或者是否需要进行调整)”可知，沟通不仅仅包括交谈还包括倾听，因此沟通是双向的。A项“沟通是双向的。”符合语境，承上启下。故选A。 29．空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“During a conversation or presentation, maintain eye contact for as long as it feels natural. Nevertheless, be aware that eye contact is culturally determined. In some cultures, it is considered to be unsettling or inappropriate.(在交谈或演讲时，保持自然舒适的眼神交流即可。不过需要注意的是，眼神交流的方式因文化而异 —— 在某些文化中，这样的眼神接触会被视为令人不安或不合时宜的行为)”可知，交谈时要保持自然的眼神交流，但在某些文化中，眼神接触为被认为是令人不安的或不合时宜的。由此可知，在交流前可以询问或调查眼神交流问题。C项“特别询问这个问题，或者提前做研究。”符合语境。故选C。 30．上文“In addition to verbal and visual cues, your body language also plays a pivotal role in communication. Strive to reflect passion using soft, gentle, aware facial expressions. Avoid negative facial expressions, such as frowns or raised eyebrows.(除了语言信号和视觉信号，你的肢体语言在交流中也扮演着关键角色。要努力通过柔和、温和且专注的面部表情传递热情，同时避免负面的面部表情，比如皱眉或挑眉)”指出要用积极的肢体语言，同时避免负面的表情，结合下文“If you need to learn the culture, ask questions about the communication challenges you might face before you start to speak with people in an unfamiliar cultural context. (如果你需要了解相关文化，在与陌生文化背景的人交流之前，先问问对方你可能会遇到哪些沟通方面的问题)”可知，关于什么是积极什么是消极取决于文化背景。G项“某事是否带有负面意味，取决于具体语境，尤其是文化语境。”符合语境，承上启下，culture context是关键词。故选G。 主题03 人与自然：环境与探索 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·安徽合肥·期末）Every spring, hundreds of thousands of birds leave their winter habitat on Lake Poyang in China, and fly north to reach their breeding grounds (繁殖地) in Siberia. 16 Grass-eating birds, like geese, follow fresh, green grass that appears as the season unfolds and the geese move northwards. The period when the young, spring grass is at its most nutritious can last as short as three weeks. 17 Geese can only eat when they arrive in the right place at the right time, but climate change has disturbed when and how long this seasonal food source is available. If birds cannot refuel their energy stores during the long-distance journey, they’ ll risk their ability to breed successfully when they reach their destination. Fortunately, researchers discovered other food sources on their journey. These birds stopped over in the Northeast China Plain before heading to Siberia. Vast wetlands were once common here, preparing them for the rest of their journey. Nowadays, the loss of wetlands has expanded and most have been used to grow rice, corn and soybeans. 18 In the Northeast China Plain, these birds eat seeds left over after harvesting. Farmland seeds will become more important as natural habitats decline. Mechanized (机械化的) harvests, which tend to leave more seeds in the field, could provide more food for birds. 19 Then the birds can take advantage of both wetland and farmland ecosystems, ensuring their survival. If healthy wetlands accompany farmland, birds can eat wild plants when farmers sow their crops. 20 Seeing birds as part of the landscape and not as intruders (入侵者) on farmland, can help preserve this biodiversity on the wing. A．Birds can still find enough food. B．But the protection of wetlands remains crucial. C．Some birds can stay over a month in this area. D．This will reduce their impact on crop production. E．Such a fine-tuned strategy can become a disadvantage. F．This forced the birds to use agricultural land as a source of food. G．These birds must make use of food that is only available seasonally. 【答案】16．G 17．E 18．F 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨春季候鸟从鄱阳湖迁徙至西伯利亚时依赖季节性嫩草，但气候变化与湿地减少迫使它们转向农田觅食。研究表明，若保护湿地并利用农田种子，可实现鸟类与农业的和谐共生，保障生物多样性。 16．后文“Grass-eating birds, like geese, follow fresh, green grass that appears as the season unfolds and the geese move northwards. The period when the young, spring grass is at its most nutritious can last as short as three weeks. (像鹅这样的食草鸟类，随着季节的到来，跟随新鲜的绿草向北移动。春天嫩草最有营养的时期可能只有短短三周)”提到草食性鸟类如鹅会追随春季的嫩草，且嫩草营养期短至三周，这表明这些鸟类要利用季节性的食物，G选项“These birds must make use of food that is only available seasonally.(这些鸟必须以季节性的食物为食)” 符合语境，引出下文对鸟类依赖季节性食物的描述。故选G。 17．前文说鹅必须在合适的时间到达合适的地点才能吃到草，后文“Geese can only eat when they arrive in the right place at the right time, but climate change has disturbed when and how long this seasonal food source is available. (鹅只有在正确的时间到达正确的地点才能进食，但气候变化扰乱了这种季节性食物来源的时间和持续时间)”指出气候变化干扰了这种季节性食物的供应时间和时长，说明原本依赖特定时间和地点获取食物的策略因气候变化出现问题，E选项“Such a fine-tuned strategy can become a disadvantage.(这种微调策略可能会成为劣势)”中such a fine-tuned strategy指代前文鹅获取食物的策略，become a disadvantage与后文气候变化带来的干扰相呼应。故选E。 18．前文“These birds stopped over in the Northeast China Plain before heading to Siberia. Vast wetlands were once common here, preparing them for the rest of their journey. Nowadays, the loss of wetlands has expanded and most have been used to grow rice, corn and soybeans. (这些鸟在飞往西伯利亚之前在中国东北平原停留。这里曾经是大片的湿地，为它们接下来的旅程做好了准备。如今，湿地的损失已经扩大，大部分被用来种植水稻、玉米和大豆)”提到东北地区湿地减少，大部分被用于种植农作物，空处需说明这一变化对鸟类的影响，F选项“This forced the birds to use agricultural land as a source of food.(这迫使鸟类使用农田作为食物来源)”直接承接湿地消失变为农田的内容，解释了鸟类食物来源的转变，其中This指代湿地减少这一情况，符合语境。故选F。 19．前文“Mechanized (机械化的) harvests, which tend to leave more seeds in the field, could provide more food for birds. (机械化收割往往会在田地里留下更多的种子，可以为鸟类提供更多的食物)”提到机械化收获能为鸟类提供更多食物，后文“Then the birds can take advantage of both wetland and farmland ecosystems, ensuring their survival. (这样鸟类就可以利用湿地和农田生态系统，确保它们的生存)”说明保护湿地和农田生态系统对鸟类生存的重要性，空处需要强调湿地保护的重要性，以平衡农田的作用，B 选项“But the protection of wetlands remains crucial.(但是保护湿地仍然是至关重要的)”起到承上启下的作用。故选B。 20．前文“If healthy wetlands accompany farmland, birds can eat wild plants when farmers sow their crops. (如果健康的湿地与农田相伴，鸟类可以在农民播种时吃野生植物)”说如果湿地与农田并存的情况，空处需说明这种情况的好处，D选项“This will reduce their impact on crop production.(这将减少它们对作物生产的影响)” 中This指代前文鸟类吃野生植物的情况，解释了鸟类食用野生植物而非农作物的积极结果，符合逻辑。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期末）There was a time when sewing and mending clothes was common. 21 Why have people stopped mending their clothing? Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new. 22 In the past few years, it seems there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — not only saving, but also sewing and mending. On one of the most pleasant comers of the internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys. Why should you learn to mend? Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. 23 That means shopping for quality items that will stand the least of time. Also, by learning a few key skills, you can repair those items as needed rather than sentence them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It is also helpful to customize some items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. 24 Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. 25 You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying. And an added bonus: It’s sustainable. If you are interested in sewing and mending, it is the perfect time to learn the new skill, which can especially have a positive impact on the world. A．Yet there is still reason to hope. B．Another aspect of mending is mindfulness. C．It is also a means of maintaining a livelihood. D．The result? You will get what feels uniquely yours. E．Of course, the best thing you can do is buy less to begin with. F．Buying secondhand goods makes it possible to be sustainable. G．Without our awareness, though, it became something of a rarity. 【答案】21．G 22．A 23．E 24．D 25．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了缝纫修补曾很普遍，后因多种原因变少。但近年慢时尚受关注，学习修补有诸多好处，且利于可持续发展，现在是学习的好时机。 21．根据上文“There was a time when sewing and mending clothes was common.(曾经有一段时间，缝补衣物是很常见的事情)”以及下文“Why have people stopped mending their clothing?(为什么人们不再自己缝补衣物了呢？)”可知，上文提到缝纫和修补衣服曾很常见，下文提问人们为何不再修补，本句说明这种常见行为在不经意间变得罕见，衔接上下文，解释了从普遍到少见的转变。故G选项“但如果没有我们的意识关注，它就变得相当罕见了”符合语境，故选G。 22．根据第一段“Why have people stopped mending their clothing? Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new.(为什么人们不再修补衣物了呢？学校不再开设家政课程，科技迅猛发展，快时尚也变得越来越流行。突然间，修理一件东西比买一件新的还要麻烦得多)”以及下文“In the past few years, it seems there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — not only saving, but also sewing and mending.(在过去几年里，人们对于慢时尚的兴趣似乎日益浓厚——不仅注重节约，还热衷于手工缝制和修补衣物)”可知，上文讲人们不再修补衣服的原因，下文转而说近年来人们对慢时尚的兴趣增长，出现很多相关视频，本句起到转折作用，引出积极变化，故A选项“但仍有希望存在的理由”符合语境，故选A。 23．根据上文“Why should you learn to mend? Mending is a great way to reject consumerism.(为何要学习修补呢？修补是一种有效抵制消费主义的方式)”可知，本段讲学习修补的原因，提到修补是拒绝消费主义的好方法，本句进一步说明拒绝消费主义的根本做法是少买，与“拒绝消费主义”呼应，故E选项“当然，你首先能做的最好的事情就是减少购买”符合语境，故选E。 24．根据上文“That means shopping for quality items that will stand the least of time. Also, by learning a few key skills, you can repair those items as needed rather than sentence them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It is also helpful to customize some items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date.(这意味着要购买那些经久耐用、能经受时间考验的优质商品。此外，通过学习一些基本技能，您可以根据需要对这些物品进行维修，而不是让它们被永远丢弃在已经爆满的垃圾填埋场里。另外，对一些尺寸可能不太合适或有些过时的物品进行个性化处理也是很有帮助的)”可知，上文提到修补有助于定制不合身或过时的衣物，本句说明定制后的结果是拥有独特的衣物，承接上文，解释定制的意义。故D选项“结果呢？你会得到属于你自己的独特的东西”符合语境，故选D。 25．根据下文“You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique. It’s meditative (冥想的), slow work. It’s productive, and deeply satisfying. And an added bonus: It’s sustainable.(你专注于手头的任务，并运用自己的创造力让你的衣物独具特色。这是一种冥想般、缓慢的工作方式。它既高效又令人深感满足。而且还有一个额外的好处：这种方式是可持续的)”可知，下文描述修补时专注当下、发挥创造力，像冥想一样，B选项指出修补的另一个方面是专注力，总领下文内容，符合段落逻辑。故B选项“修复的另一个方面是专注力”符合语境，故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高二下·山东临沂·期末）If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. 26 But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. 27 If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. 28 Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. 29 However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. 30 A．The deer may be happy with the find. B．Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C．First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D．Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E．The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F．Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste.

Lack of sleep harms both physical and mental health. It may lead to emotional instability and poor decision-making abilities, often accompanied by depressive symptoms (症状). 1 Here are some practical tips to help you sleep better. Establish a consistent sleep schedule. Set a regular sleep and wake time to train your body's internal clock. 2 And it also makes it easier to fall asleep at a reasonable hour. AIM for seven to nine hours of sleep each night to ensure you're well-rested. 3 Establishing a relaxing pre-sleep routine signals to your brain that it's time to wind down. Activities like reading, listening to calming music, or taking a warm bath can help relax both mind and body. Avoid intense physical activities or any stressful tasks, as they make it harder to settle down. Limiting screen exposure is also crucial. 4 Improve your sleep environment. Make your bedroom cool (18—22℃), quiet, and dark. You can do this by hanging curtains to block out light, as well as considering earplugs or white noise if noise is an issue. 5   Finally, reserve your bed for sleep and relaxation rather than for working or watching TV. This helps your brain associate the bedroom with rest, promoting earlier and more restful sleep. A．Create a calming bedtime routine. B．Adjust your body’s internal clock. C．Additionally, invest in quality bedding for easier sleep. D．A steady schedule helps improve the quality of your sleep. E．Mild symptoms can sometimes be managed with regular exercise. F．Over time, it may also increase the risk of serious physical illnesses. G．This is because the blue light given out by devices can disturb your sleep. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·广东江门·期末）The Art of Balanced Living In a time controlled by quick solutions and popular trends, real health lies in balancing the care of body, mind and spirit through lasting habits. Here’s how to build a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition: Beyond the Trends Experts say being consistent (持续的) is better than extremes. Extreme diets may promise fast results, but they often break the body’s natural rhythm and cause nutrient shortages. 6 . A 2024 study showed that people who ate 5-6 small meals daily with balanced nutrition had metabolic speeds (新陈代谢速度) 23 higher than crash dieters. Movement: Beyond the Gym The WHO suggests 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) exercise weekly. 7 . Research shows short periods of movement matter more than long workouts. The truth is, your body build up on frequent,gentle exercise rather than occasional hard training. Sleep: The Ignored Healer Sleep quality deeply affects emotional strength. Yet its mental benefits are often underestimated. For example, enough sleep improves problem-solving skills. Actually there are many ways to improve sleep quality. 8 . Social Connection: The Biological Necessity Unlike short social media interactions, real human bonds trigger the release of a hormone (激素) that reduces stress and boosts immunity (免疫力). 9 . Social researchers found communities with strong bonds had 35 lower lifestyle illness rates. Mindful Technology Use: The Final Piece 10 , like creating “tech-free zones” during meals or using apps to track screen time. This full integration (整合) reshapes daily habits. A 2023 Stanford experiment showed participants avoiding screens 2 hours before bed had 31 less stress-eating, linking less device use to better eating habits. A．Using technology thoughtfully means efficiency B．Using technology mindfully means setting limits C．One of them is to create a “digital break” before bed D．This hormone helps lower blood pressure and improve heart health E．A balanced approach means enjoying different foods without strict rules F．Extreme workouts are proven to burn more calories than moderate exercise G．But many people focus on intense workouts while ignoring daily movement Passage 3 （24-25高二下·山东淄博·期末）The Library Guardian In the heart of Sunnyside Community, Ms. Clara, a 72-year-old retiree, has turned the local library into a lifeline for children and seniors. For 15 years, she’s arrived at 8:30 a. m. to unlock the doors, prepare storytime kits and dust the shelves. 11 “Many kids here don’t have books at home,” she says. “A library card is their first step to freedom.” Ms. Clara’s impact goes beyond books. She remembers every child’s name and favorite works — Liam loves space novels while Mia adores graphic novels. 12 “She notices when a kid misses a week,” says parent Tom. “She’ll call us to check if they’re okay.” For seniors, Ms. Clara hosts monthly “Memory Lane” sessions in the library, where they share photos and stories. In fact, seniors often arrive early to help her set up chairs. “Clara makes me feel useful again,” says Mr. Chen, who now brings his late wife’s recipes to the group. 13 When the library faced budget cuts last year, Ms. Clara gathered the community. She organized a bake sale, invited local artists for a charity auction (拍卖会), and even taught the kids to write letters to council members. 14 “We didn’t just save the library,” she smiles brightly, “We proved we’re a family.” Today, the library’s walls are covered with kids’ drawings and thank-you notes. 15 “My reward is seeing ashy child grin when I hand them their first book” she says. “That’s why I keep coming back.” A．Her efforts prevented the library from closing. B．The shelves hold more than 2,000 donated books. C．She even memorizes their birthdays and favorite snacks. D．She also volunteers at the local senior center twice a week. E．This routine is her way of saying “welcome” to every visitor. F．Some kids call her “Grandma Clara” when they hug her goodbye. G．These sessions have become a highlight for seniors longing for connection. 主题02 人与社会：文化、社会服务与人际沟通 Passage 1 （23-24高二下·安徽黄山·期末）Effective communication skills are essential to any good relationship. Building your communication skills takes practice. 1 With time and effort, you’ll convey ideas, thoughts and opinions better in your personal and professional life. Use the following strategies to get started. Convey important points clearly and briefly. 2 Therefore, it’s important to choose your words wisely and organize your thoughts in a way that’s easy to follow. Be mindful of your tone. 3 As a result, the tone of your voice should appropriately match what you’re trying to convey. Think about how the interaction would be received if you were on the receiving end. 4 Before you send an email, approach a coworker or host a meeting, take time to understand the audience and consider how they may feel or react to what you’re about to communicate to them. Focus on what others say and acknowledge it. You may be more effective in your communication when you can acknowledge the perception of others and respond appropriately to their feedback, questions or suggestions. Be open and listen, avoiding defensiveness and interrupting. If you don’t know how to respond, simply tell the other person that you’ll get back to them once you’ve given it greater consideration. 5 A．Use multiple approaches of communication. B．Put yourself in the shoes of your audience. C．But it is entirely possible and well worth it. D．If you are a good listener, you can get effective  feedback. E．The way you communicate can affect listeners’  reactions. F．There is no harm in asking for time for a thoughtful response. G．Your audience may listen to tons of communication all day. Passage 2 （23-24高二下·安徽芜湖·期末）Being a people-pleaser (讨好型人格) is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. 6 Here are some tips one can follow. Be sure of your own value. You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason. 7 When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it’s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go. Keep saying no. 8 Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say. Speak up. People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn’t want. 9 Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard. Without any doubt, it’s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. 10 It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again. A．Say sorry actively. B．Apologize properly. C．It seems common to agree to everything. D．Chances are that you’ll fail into old patterns midway. E．What counts much is to change some of your daily habits. F．Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make. G．Learn to use your voice bravely if you’d like to overcome people-pleasing. Passage 3 （23-24高二下·湖北孝感·期末）Asking for or accepting help can bring up a wide range of complicated emotions, like there’s the fear of being seen as needy or weak. Although accepting help from others is difficult, giving and receiving is a necessary part of life. 11 . For many people, the difficulty in asking for or receiving help is tied to childhood. As psychologist Lisa Firestone points out, these feelings often develop from having our requests go unnoticed at an earlier age. Sometimes these unnoticed requests are a result of neglect or because parents are too busy to notice. Maybe they were undertaking some jobs to make ends meet or didn’t have additional family support to spare. 12 . When your needs go unnoticed, it can create feelings of shame about asking for or receiving help, while also forming an extreme sense of independence. How do you get better at accepting help? One way to get better at accepting help is to start with small requests, such as asking for directions. 13 . Practicing this in good environment can ease some of the emotions that can appear suddenly. 14 . If you feel very uncomfortable, wait a few moments to let these feelings calm down before accepting or denying the help. Helping others feels good. Although asking for help is hard, one way to make it a little easier is to focus on how it feels when you help others. 15 . A．Start small and make it a habit B．It can feel like a burden to ask for help C．Whatever the cause is, it may affect you D．Having needs ignored can make asking for help difficult E．We grow up in situations where help comes with duties attached F．And remember that the same thing applies when others are helping you G．Another way to get better at accepting help is to listen to your internal reactions 主题03 人与自然：环境与探索 Passage 1 （23-24高二下·河北保定·期末）Embracing a Green Lifestyle Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet.

Passage 3 （23-24高二下·广西百色·期末）Landscaping (人造景观) refers to man-made features of a landscape such as driveways, walls, steps, and other human-made structures. It has many sustainability benefits. Replace Lawns (草坪) Fertilizers and pesticides (化肥和杀虫剂) help establish a beautiful lawn. 11 If you replace lawns with landscape, you’ll use fewer chemicals and do less harm to the environment. Use Less Water 12 So it can save hundreds of gallons of water and reduce the carbon emissions (排放) used to provide that water cleanly. Use Locally-Produced Materials Materials for landscaping are almost all produced locally, due to the high shipping cost. 13 Lower Garden Maintenance (维护) Usually, Americans spend two hours per day on lawn and garden care. 14 That often means less energy used to run some garden equipment. Reduce Ice Build-up Sustainable landscape allows stormwater to drain (流) into the soil. 15 This means safer walkways or driveways, and a reduced need for salt for de-icing (除去……上的冰). A．Landscaping is a form of landscaping. B．This means lower carbon emissions for transportation. C．Yet little maintenance is needed for a landscaped area. D．The water landscaping uses mainly comes from nature. E．There are ways to lower your impact on the environment. F．So there is often less ice formation on landscaping in cold winters. G．But they can run into the water system and harm both humans and wildlife. 主题01 人与自我：生活与学习 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·河北唐山·期末）Ever wonder why you get along better with some people over others?

You can borrow movies on DVDs, music on CDs, and popular magazines. 23 If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, they may bring it in when enough interest is shown. 24 Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions targeted to various age groups. Perhaps you’d like to learn a language or improve your English. The library may sponsor a language group you could join. If you have difficulties reading, ask about special reading opportunities. Your library might be able to accommodate you. And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kids to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.

Passage 3 （24-25高二下·山东潍坊·期末）Summer vacation has begun for many of us, and chances are your kids are spending their free time in front of a screen instead of enjoying the nice weather. We won’t repeat the warnings about children and screen time here, but we admit it: Pulling them away from video game can be tricky, as they’re so addicted. 26 Many botanical gardens and nature preserves offer programs tailored for children and families. These include yoga classes, treasure hunts, and flashlight evening walks. If no classes or activities are available, try encouraging your kids to feel the grass under their feet or notice the butterflies and insects that call the grounds their home. 27 When you get home, have them search for any similar ones in your backyard. Sidewalk chalk, such as drawing butterflies on the pavement (人行道) , is an old but reliable standby that can fire up your child’s imagination. Nevertheless, it can quickly become tiresome for your kids. 28 You could start a tic-tac-toe game using sticks and rocks or go on a hike and give each other points for each animal or tree they see. 29 However, sometimes your kid isn’t into it — or is too little to hike any real distance. In that case, let them be the leader and decide your family’s direction. 30 It gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility to the activity and engages them a lot more. A．To develop a sense of curiosity in children counts. B．A walk in the woods can be great for the whole family. C．Have some ideas ready on the fly to keep them occupied.

He wants people to learn skills to support their families or even own a business in the future. 17 “I’m happiest when I see them grow in the job,” he says. “They accumulate more skills and knowledge and keep improving, which I value the most.” Chief baker Wang Ting has worked there for seven years and says that working helped her improve her baking and management skills. Because the bakers cannot hear, they pay more attention to what they see, especially details others tend to overlook. 18 It is important for the bakery because bread quality can be judged by its appearance, Hofmueller explains. Hofmueller and his wife have added new flavors and launched a WeChat account and mini-program. They share bakery news on WeChat moments every day. 19 The locals come to the store to eat and gather. He often jokes that they run the store with him. When Hofmueller made a post asking where he should buy an oven on his WeChat moments, he received many suggestions. Planning to work with vocational schools, he aims to expand the bakery’s training programs to assist and train more people, not just people with hearing loss. “It is very meaningful,” Hofmueller says. “No matter what I do, I feel a strong sense of responsibility.” 20 He knows it is what he wants.

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁丹东·期末）The Guest-list Dilemma You’ve arranged a day out with two closest friends. However, another friend who’s usually not part of the group is desperate to come along. You feel you should include him because of kindness, but you worry it might ruin the dynamic of your usual gathering. 21 However, there are ways to find a solution. Why does it weigh heavily? Humans are born to seek security. 22 So, being left out of social occasions can make you feel anxious and low, and impact your self-perception. Introducing the plans disliked by other friends might make you feel insecure about your own place in the circle. These decisions feel big as you fear hurting others’ feelings or losing those you care about. There are pros and cons to both options. Inviting an extra friend shows kindness. It can help everyone bond, deepen friendships, and even boost your self-confidence if the day goes well. 23 There might be several reasons for wanting to keep numbers low. For example, some people don’t get on and you might worry that the person you bring along wouldn’t fit in. 24 honest communication: clearly express that you don’t want to hurt or exclude them. Show you are honoring someone’s wish to be included while explaining the situation’s complexity. Being clear and kind helps prevent misunderstandings. In order to strike a balance, remember, you should care about others’ feelings as well as your own. Be kind and sensitive to others’ feelings. 25 A．What changes can you make? B．How can you deal with the problem? C．The conflict can be tricky to manage. D．A sense of belonging is an instinctive need. E．Meanwhile, keep sight of what feels right for you. F．But it’s also OK not to include everyone each time. G．Respecting others will help you step out of the dilemma. Passage 3 （24-25高二下·河北·期末）Effective Ways to Improve Your Communication Skills Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been solved with more communication? 26 Someone with strong communication skills can build positive connections, strengthen their relationships, and solve conflicts. This guide can teach you the basics so you can get your point across quickly and calmly. Before you speak, it’s essential to organize your thoughts by using key points. A good rule is to choose three main points to center your conversation around. That way, if you stay away from the main point, you’ll be able to return to one or more of your points without feeling anxious. If possible, write your talking points down on your phone’s Notes app or an index card for reference. 27 Communication, however, is not just about talking. 28 By actively listening, you can measure how much of your message is getting through your listener(s) and whether or not it’s being received correctly or needs to be adjusted. If your audience needs clarification, asking for feedback us often helpful. Moreover, maintaining eye contact during a conversation or presentation can build connection, help convince others you’re trustworthy and show interest. During a conversation or presentation, maintain eye contact for as long as it feels natural. Nevertheless, be aware that eye contact is culturally determined. In some cultures, it is considered to be unsettling or inappropriate. 29 In addition to verbal and visual cues, your body language also plays a pivotal role in communication. Strive to reflect passion using soft, gentle, aware facial expressions. Avoid negative facial expressions, such as frowns or raised eyebrows. 30 If you need to learn the culture, ask questions about the communication challenges you might face before you start to speak with people in an unfamiliar cultural context. A．Communication is a two-way street. B．Pay attention to non-verbal communication. C．Ask about this in particular or do research in advance. D．Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly. E．Similarly, be sure to express clearly to avoid any kind of misunderstanding. F．This will help you stay on topic and be absolutely clear about your intention. G．What is or isn’t negative depends on the context, especially the cultural context. 主题03 人与自然：环境与探索 Passage 1 （24-25高二下·安徽合肥·期末）Every spring, hundreds of thousands of birds leave their winter habitat on Lake Poyang in China, and fly north to reach their breeding grounds (繁殖地) in Siberia. 16 Grass-eating birds, like geese, follow fresh, green grass that appears as the season unfolds and the geese move northwards. The period when the young, spring grass is at its most nutritious can last as short as three weeks. 17 Geese can only eat when they arrive in the right place at the right time, but climate change has disturbed when and how long this seasonal food source is available. If birds cannot refuel their energy stores during the long-distance journey, they’ ll risk their ability to breed successfully when they reach their destination. Fortunately, researchers discovered other food sources on their journey. These birds stopped over in the Northeast China Plain before heading to Siberia. Vast wetlands were once common here, preparing them for the rest of their journey. Nowadays, the loss of wetlands has expanded and most have been used to grow rice, corn and soybeans. 18 In the Northeast China Plain, these birds eat seeds left over after harvesting. Farmland seeds will become more important as natural habitats decline. Mechanized (机械化的) harvests, which tend to leave more seeds in the field, could provide more food for birds. 19 Then the birds can take advantage of both wetland and farmland ecosystems, ensuring their survival. If healthy wetlands accompany farmland, birds can eat wild plants when farmers sow their crops. 20 Seeing birds as part of the landscape and not as intruders (入侵者) on farmland, can help preserve this biodiversity on the wing. A．Birds can still find enough food. B．But the protection of wetlands remains crucial. C．Some birds can stay over a month in this area. D．This will reduce their impact on crop production. E．Such a fine-tuned strategy can become a disadvantage. F．This forced the birds to use agricultural land as a source of food. G．These birds must make use of food that is only available seasonally. Passage 2 （24-25高二下·辽宁·期末）There was a time when sewing and mending clothes was common. 21 Why have people stopped mending their clothing? Schools stopped offering home economics classes, technology boomed and fast fashion became increasingly popular. All of a sudden, it’s more inconvenient to fix something than it is to buy something new. 22 In the past few years, it seems there’s been growing interest in slow fashion — not only saving, but also sewing and mending. On one of the most pleasant comers of the internet, you’ll find lots of videos showcasing everything from visible mending to beginner sewing journeys. Why should you learn to mend? Mending is a great way to reject consumerism. 23 That means shopping for quality items that will stand the least of time. Also, by learning a few key skills, you can repair those items as needed rather than sentence them to life in an already-overflowing landfill. It is also helpful to customize some items which might not be exactly the right size or a little out of date. 24 Beyond the functional benefits, mending is about using what you have, embracing imperfections, fixing what’s broken, and rejecting the idea that newer is better. 25 You focus on the task at hand and use your creativity to make your clothes unique.

Passage 3 （24-25高二下·山东临沂·期末）If you’re a hiker or outdoor person, you know how important it can be to bring a snack with you on a long outdoor adventure. 26 But when you’re done with your apple, you can just throw the core away, right? While your banana skin or apple core will degrade when exposed to nature, it is not necessarily safe for the environment for you to do so. Here’s why. 27 If you’ve ever had a compost heap (堆肥堆), you know that when you throw something in the compost, it takes some time to biodegrade and turn into rich, dark soil. Compost heaps are often the most ideal places for this organic matter to break down. 28 Next, leaving food waste could harm wildlife. If you leave an apple core near your favorite outdoor adventure spot, a deer may come along and decide to finish eating it for you. 29 However, feeding wildlife increases habituation. If an animal becomes habituated to finding apple cores along roadsides, for example, it increases the likelihood that it will be hurt or killed by passing traffic. Ultimately, the best practice when experiencing nature is to pack out everything that you pack in, even biodegradable food waste. Humans have systems in place for dealing with the quantity of organic food waste we produce. 30 A．The deer may be happy with the find. B．Do remember to bring your favorite snack. C．First, food waste might not degrade quickly. D．Finally, this might attract a group of wild deer. E．The ground near your favorite local hiking path is not. F．Nature, on the other hand, may have a harder time dealing with our waste. G．A banana, apple, or some other snack can make all the difference to how far you can go. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
