专题04 七选五 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省天立教育·期末) What Friendship Means to Me When deciding what is most important in life, some people choose money, while others choose things like security and comfort. 1 I cannot imagine being without it. Friendship means not being alone. Once I was travelling for sightseeing by myself. I didn't mind being alone, but when I saw all of the tourists having their pictures taken together. I began feeling sad. I ended up returning to the train station and spending the rest of the day in the waiting room. 2 Friendship means having someone to rely on. Last year, I left my schoolbag on a trolleybus, and I lost all of my notes for the final exam. 3 Luckily for me, my best friend Jenny let me copy her notes, and I used them in my revision. Thanks to her help, I was able to pass the exam. Friendship means being committed to others. 4 Because I am a friend, I have had to learn patience and mercy (宽恕). Once I had a quarrel with Jenny, and she made some cruel comments about me. Even though I was hurt, I forgave her and she later made an apology. Through this incident, both of us have become better people.   Friendship means a lot to me in a word. 5 And it makes my life more meaningful and enjoyable. I cherish the friends in my life and hope to maintain these relationships for many years to come. A．You can imagine how worried I was. B．What’s worse, I couldn’t find my wallet. C．It gives me a sense of purpose and belonging. D．The best way to have a friend is to be a friend. E．Life is no fun without a companion to share it with.

G．However, for me, the most important thing in life is friendship. 【答案】1．G 2．E 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了友谊对作者的重要性。友谊意味着不再孤单，有人陪伴；友谊意味着有人可以依赖；友谊意味着相互信任和承诺；友谊让生活更加有意义和愉快。作者珍视友谊，希望能够维持这些关系多年。 1．根据前文“When deciding what is most important in life, some people choose money, while others choose things like security and comfort. (当决定生活中什么最重要时，有些人选择金钱，而另一些人选择安全和舒适。)”可知，很多人对人生中重要的东西有着不同的选择；根据后文“I cannot imagine being without it. (我无法想象没有它的生活。)”可知，设空处应该介绍对于作者来说，生活中最重要的是什么。G选项“However, for me, the most important thing in life is friendship.( 然而，对我来说，生活中最重要的是友谊。)”承接前文，同时与后文的it形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。 2．根据前文“Friendship means not being alone. (友谊意味着不孤单。)”以及“I ended up returning to the train station and spending the rest of the day in the waiting room.

(去年，我把书包落在无轨电车上，把期末考试的笔记都丢了。)”推知，设空处应该承接的是作者对此事的反应。A选项“You can imagine how worried I was.(你可以想象我有多担心。)”承接前文，指出作者非常的担心。故选A。 4．根据本段段旨“Friendship means being committed to others. (友谊意味着对他人的忠诚。)”可知，作者认为友谊意味着对他人忠诚，后文应该对此进行解释。同时根据后文“Because I am a friend, I have had to learn patience and mercy (宽恕). Once I had a quarrel with Jenny, and she made some cruel comments about me. Even though I was hurt, I forgave her and she later made an apology. Through this incident, both of us have become better people. (因为我是朋友，所以我必须学会忍耐和仁慈。有一次我和珍妮吵了一架，她对我说了一些难听的话。尽管我很受伤，但我原谅了她，她后来也道歉了。通过这件事，我们都成为了更好的人。)”可知，此处强调虽然作者与朋友吵架了，但是作者学会了忍耐和仁慈，并且彼此相互原谅，互相忠诚，最后都成为了更好的人。D选项“The best way to have a friend is to be a friend.(拥有朋友的最好方式就是成为别人的朋友。)”引起下文，指出拥有朋友最好的方式就是成为别人的朋友，互相成就，互相原谅，该选项符合语境。故选D。 5．根据本段段旨“Friendship means a lot to me in a word.

You take shorter showers and collect rainwater for watering plant. You always bring your own reusable bags and chopsticks when going out. Of course you won’t forget to buy local and seasonal fruits and vegetables to reduce carbon footprint caused by transportation. 1 How do you get those around you to live more sustainably? “It can be tricky, especially if they’re not ready to embrace the concept, but there are some ways,” says Silvia de Denaro Vieira in San Francisco, the co-founder of the home management app Coexist, which helps families join forces at home. 2 You can focus on pointing out one habit at a time. Reducing single-use plastics and building up from there is a good beginning. 3 If you family members don’t care about living a green life, find out what they do care about. Many eco-friendly choices also save money, cut down on waste or make daily life more efficient. For example, switching to energy-efficient appliances or LED bulbs can lower electricity bills, which might appeal to family members interested in saving money. 4 Keeping reusable bags in the car or setting up a simple waste sorting process in the kitchen can reduce pressure for your family members. They may feel automatic rather than like extra work. “Respect others’ boundaries.” Silvia asks everyone to take note of this. 5 If your family is resistant to a particular habit, it helps to take a step back and focus on what’s troubling them rather than forcing the issue. Only when they achieve energy conservation in a way that matches their comfort and priorities can their behaviors be sustainable. A．Sustainability is a long game. B．“Make it easy,” Silvia stresses. C．But it is not the case with your family. D．She suggests doing this job by starting small. E．It is everyone’s duty to reduce the burden on the earth. F．Around the world, 3R life has found their way into our daily life.

(你过着3R生活：减少、再利用和回收。你缩短淋浴时间，收集雨水来浇花。你外出时总是自带可重复使用的袋子和筷子。当然，你也不会忘记购买本地当季的水果和蔬菜，以减少运输产生的碳足迹)”可知，上文描述的是“你”自己过着环保的3R生活，以及下文“How do you get those around you to live more sustainably? (你如何让你周围的人生活得更可持续？)”说明要让周围人也这样做并不容易，C选项“But it is not the case with your family.

Reducing single-use plastics and building up from there is a good beginning. (你可以一次专注于指出一个习惯。减少一次性塑料制品的使用并以此为基础是个不错的开端)”可知，上下文在说让家人接受可持续生活概念的方法，D选项“She suggests doing this job by starting small. (她建议从小事做起开展这项工作)”中She指的是上文提及的Silvia de Denaro Vieira，承接上文，并引出下文的具体例子，符合语境。故选D。 3．由下文“If your family members don’t care about living a green life, find out what they do care about.

(如果你的家人不关心过绿色生活，那就找出他们关心什么。许多环保选择也能省钱、减少浪费或使日常生活更高效。例如，改用节能电器或LED灯泡可以降低电费，这可能会吸引那些对省钱感兴趣的家人)”可知，这一段主要讲的是要根据家人的关注点来采取可持续行动，G选项“Another tip is to base sustainable actions on your family’s priorities. (另一个建议是根据家人的优先事项采取可持续行动)”总结段落内容，适合作为段落主题句，符合语境。故选G。 4．由下文“Keeping reusable bags in the car or setting up a simple waste sorting process in the kitchen can reduce pressure for your family members.

Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer. · 2 Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). 3 So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer. ·Try all the available options. If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. 1 ·Don’t rely on map apps. Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. 1 So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go. A．Don’t limit your choices. B．It takes time to find the best. C．Study the city you will travel to. D．You won’t know until you try them all. E．What works here might not work there. F．The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest. G．Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．E 4．D 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一篇旅行指南帮助读者在旅行中做出明智的选择并得到更加愉快的体验。 1．根据后文“Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.(有时它意味着最愉快的。在短途旅行中考虑太多是不值得的。如果你对某种交通方式有偏好，那么短途旅行通常是值得的，即使它最终会花费你更多的时间)”可知，本空是段落的总起句，与下文提到的“Sometimes it means the most enjoyable.(有时它意味着最愉快的)”形成对比。本段建议：在选择如何旅行时要考虑个人的喜好；如果你偏好某种交通方式，那么以这种方式短途旅行是值得的，即使它花费的时间略多。F项“最好的不一定意味着最快。”符合语境故选F。 2．本空是段落的小标题，根据本段内容“Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车).(有些城市，比如纽约，非常适合步行。其他的则不是。在阿姆斯特丹，最好的出行方式就是骑自行车——不管你是使用城市的共享单车还是从酒店租一辆。在东南亚，你最好租一辆摩托车)”可知，空处应概括本段的内容并给旅行者提供建议，结合本段提及了适合不同城市的交通方式，以说明了解目的地城市的情况对于选择合适的交通方式至关重要。C项“研究你要旅行的城市。”符合语境。故选C。 3．本空是段落中的过渡句。根据上文“Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车).(有些城市，比如纽约，非常适合步行。其他的则不是。在阿姆斯特丹，最好的出行方式就是骑自行车——不管你是使用城市的共享单车还是从酒店租一辆。在东南亚，你最好租一辆摩托车)”可知，本段提到不同的交通方式适合不同的城市；没有一种交通方式适合所有城市。E项“在这里适用的不一定在那里适用。”与下文“So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.(所以，不要费心去寻找所谓的一刀切的答案)”构成因果关系，符合语境。故选E。 4．根据上文“If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood.(如果你不确定哪一种交通方式最适合你，那就都体验一下吧。看看乘地铁是什么感觉，试试骑自行车或乘公共汽车。很难预测什么是最方便的。洛杉矶有一个低成本的公共交通网络，但拼车更便宜，而在西好莱坞，滑板车是最好的交通工具)”可知，本段建议：尝试所有可用的交通方式。因为很难预测哪种方式最方便，只有全部尝试后才能知道哪种方式最适合自己，而本空是本段内容的总结，呼应段落小标题。故D项“直到你把它们试遍时才会知道。”符合语境。故选D。 5．根据下文“So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.(所以，不要仅仅因为地图应用程序这么说，就认为某件事是30分钟的车程——当你开到一半的时候，你可能还有30分钟要走)”可知，地图应用程序中的交通信息有时会与实际情况不符。G项“此外，它们稍微滞后于实际交通时间。”与下文构成因果关系，共同说明地图应用程序的弊端，符合语境。故选G。 Passage 3 (24-25高二下·河南省三门峡市渑池县渑池县第二高级中学·期末) When you’ re looking for inspiration, where do you go? 1 look through some magazines or design books, or even take a walk and take some photos. Depending on your project, the images, words, colors, and materials that inspire you might reveal interconnected themes. 2 Widely used for brainstorming, the mood board is a tool that inspires creativity across various fields. It’s an arrangement of elements that contribute to a project to keep its theme clear and consistent. It should include images, colors, textures, and typography (版面设计). 3 . Mood boards can aid clients in forming a clear picture of what the final product will look like. They serve as a visual dictionary, translating design terms like minimalism, an art movement which emphasizes extreme simplification of form and color, or realism, an art movement in which artists and writers struggle for detailed realistic and factual description into a language that is understandable at a glance. 4 It’s also essential in guiding the design process, ensuring that all project participants have a shared understanding of the aesthetic (审美的) objectives. 5 They can be made digitally on websites or physically by sticking or pinning materials onto a board. Consider starting your next project with a mood board to streamline your creative process and clarify your vision. A．Mood boards are easy to create B．Bring ideas to life: the mood board C．You might do an image search online D．Innovation is the primary driver of growth E．If you have gathered some elements representing an idea, you’ ve created a mood board F．The moment clients see a mood board, they can grasp the ideas and express their preferences G．Each element is selected to be in tune with the project’s concept and set the desired atmosphere 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．G 4．F 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了情绪板这一激发创造力的工具。 1．根据上文“When you’ re looking for inspiration, where do you go? (当你寻找灵感时，你会去哪里？)” 可知，此处寻找灵感的途径。C选项“你可能会在网上进行图片搜索” 符合语境。故选C。 2．根据上文“Depending on your project, the images, words, colors, and materials that inspire you might reveal interconnected themes. (根据你的项目，激发你的图像、文字、颜色和材料可能揭示相互关联的主题。)” 可知，此处应说明上文的结果，当收集到代表某个想法的元素时，就创建了情绪板。E选项“如果你收集了一些代表某个想法的元素，你就创建了一个情绪板” 符合语境，承接前文，引出下文对情绪板的介绍，故选E。 3．根据上文“It should include images, colors, textures, and typography (版面设计). (它应该包括图像、颜色、纹理和版面设计。)” 可推知，此处应进一步阐述情绪板元素的选择要求。G选项“每个元素的选择都要与项目的概念相契合，并营造出所需的氛围” 符合语境。故选G。 4．根据上文“Mood boards can aid clients in forming a clear picture of what the final product will look like. They serve as a visual dictionary, translating design terms... into a language that is understandable at a glance. (情绪板可以帮助客户清晰地了解最终产品的样子。它们就像一本视觉词典，将设计术语…… 转化为一目了然的语言。)” 可推知，继续阐述情绪板对客户的作用。F选项“客户一看到情绪板，就能理解这些想法并表达他们的偏好” 符合语境。故选F。 5．根据下文“They can be made digitally on websites or physically by sticking or pinning materials onto a board. (它们可以在网站上以数字方式制作，或者通过将材料粘贴或钉在板子上以实物方式制作。)” 可知，本段在说情绪板的制作。A选项“情绪板很容易制作” 符合语境，作为小标题概括该段内容，故选A。 Passage 4 (24-25高二下·河南省许昌市·期末) Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure.

People impulsively spend an average of $ 150 every month. That adds up to an extra $ 1,800 spent every year and about $ 108,000 in a lifetime. Ouch! 1 Let’s find out. ● Make a budget and stick to it. First things first: You need a budget. 1 A budget isn’t a magic wand (魔法棒) that will suddenly make all of your money behave. It’s on you to tell your money where to go each month and then follow through with that plan. ● Give yourself permission to spend. Yes, I just told you to stick to your budget — and you always should. 1 You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it, so that reward or treat isn’t an impulse buy anymore. ● Wait a day or longer before you make a purchase. These days it’s so easy to see something we want and click, click, click it into a purchase. One way to help here is to give yourself a day or so before you buy something. Then ask yourself if you’ll actually use this thing and if you can pay for it now. 1 Don’t let a countdown rush you into buying anything! A sale will come back around. Trust me. ● 2 Don’t let your emotions control your spending habits! This can lead to impulsive shopping, whether to reward yourself on a good day or to deal with a bad one.

Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are that the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．C 4．E 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。 1．根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车，尤其是卧铺，很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行，最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知，大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完，所以要提前安排预定，D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境，D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应，说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。 2．根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知，好的旅行社帮你预定，不仅可以找到打折的票，还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离，G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应，因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。 3．根据上文“When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one.(当你乘坐火车时，你不会免费获得一条毯子，即使你的旅行是过夜的。)”以及下文“In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. (特别是在夏天，空调会让他们很冷。)”可知，这里提到了车厢内温度的问题，提醒乘客最好自备毛毯，C项中“The temperature on rail cars”与前后文对应，因此推断C项“列车上的温度通常很难控制。”符合语境。故选C项。 4．根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟，有些火车一周只开三趟，所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间，不是到达时间。)”可知，本段提醒要提前安排时间，错过时间是很麻烦的事情，E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应，说明错过火车导致的结果，因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。 5．根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度，用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知，本段讲述如何度过乘车时间，A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间，用不同的方式打发时间对应，符合语境。故选A项。 Passage 7 (24-25高二下·河南省新乡市·期末) A positive attitude keeps you more active and happy.

We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. 1 Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master. The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. 2 Thus, the novelisation was a great solution. Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. 3 In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative. But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version? Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. 4 Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices. Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. 5 A．But what about book adaptations of films? B．Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too. C．For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers. D．Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly. E．But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape. F．Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium. G．Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．F 4．B 5．G 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了改编自电影的小说。 1．根据上句“We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books.

Mobile phone s in the 1990s were big bricks with tiny green displays. 1 In a short period, they developed so quickly and became such a necessary part of our daily lives. No wonder it’s easy to forget how recent this technology is. The first digital computers were only invented about eight decades ago. 2 Folklore and historical attempts to build programmable devices reflect this longstanding ambition. And fiction is filled with the possibilities of intelligent machines, imagining their benefits and dangers. It’s no wonder that when Open AI released the first version of GPT, it quickly gained widespread attention, marking a significant step to ward realizing this ancient dream. Computers and artificial intelligence（AI） have developed greatly. 3 Because computer technology feels so familiar, it is easy to forget that all of these technologies we interact with today are very recent innovations and that the most profound changes are yet to come. AI has already changed what we see, what we know, and what we do. 4 On the contrary, particularly over the course of the last decade, the fundamental trends have accelerated（加速）：investments in AI technology have rapidly increased, and the doubling time of training computation has shortened to just six months. All major technological innovations lead to a range of positive and negative consequences. This is already true of AI. 5 A．However, we are still in the early stages of the development. B．In recent years, very few people have understood the field of AI. C．Humans have dreamed of creating thinking machines since ancient times. D．Two decades before that, the main storage for computers was huge cards. E．And there are no signs that these trends are hitting any limits anytime soon. F．As this technology becomes more and more powerful, its effects will still increase. G．A technological development as powerful as this should be at the center of our attention. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比不同时期的计算机技术，阐述了科技发展的迅速，重点讨论了人工智能的发展历程、现状及未来趋势，指出其既带来积极影响也存在消极后果，且随着技术进步，影响还将不断扩大。 1．根据空前的“Mobile phones in the 1990s were big bricks with tiny green displays.

According to Taoism, it’s not about trying too hard. However, this doesn’t mean being lazy. Instead, it begins with letting go and aligning (使一致) yourself with life’s natural rhythm. Flow in harmony with nature. 1 ? For instance, forcing yourself to sleep can make you restless, while overthinking can hold back progress. The harder you try to control something, the greater the resistance you’ll encounter. Don’t try in everyday life. Understanding a philosophy is one thing. Living it is another. Wuwei, the art of effortlessness, encourages you to release control and align with life’s natural flow. 2 ? Here are simple ways to quiet the mind, welcome creativity, and develop patience. 3 . Wuwei begins with letting go. Overthinking ruins progress and peace, so stop trying to control every thought. Instead, try practices such as tai chi and breathing exercises. These can calm busy minds and help you observe thoughts without judgment. Be creative. Creativity provides a way to enter the flow state. Whether you’re painting, writing, or playing music, let curiosity and playfulness guide you. The best musicians don’t force their art—they embody it. 4 . Dive into the joy of creating, and you’ll find a place of expansion and imagination that fits with Wuwei. Adopt patience. The universe doesn’t rush, and neither should you. The sun rises and sets, and seasons unfold naturally. Patience is about trusting this rhythm. Accept change gracefully and have faith that things will turn out as they should. Living Wuwei isn’t about not trying—it’s about doing less of what disturbs your flow. 5 !

Overthinking ruins progress and peace, so stop trying to control every thought.(无为始于放手。过度思考会破坏进步与和平，所以不要试图控制每一个想法)”说明无为要从放手开始，不要过度思考，空处和后文为总说关系，可能会提出要放松思想之类的观点。所以A项“放松你的思想。”符合语境。该选项作为本段小标题，概括了本段主要关于通过一些练习来放松思想，不要过度思考，顺应无为理念的内容。故选A。 4．上文“Whether you’re painting, writing, or playing music, let curiosity and playfulness guide you. The best musicians don’t force their art—they embody it.(无论你是在画画、写作还是演奏音乐，让好奇心和趣味性引导你。最优秀的音乐家不会强迫他们的艺术——他们将其融入自身)”说明在创作中要让好奇心和趣味性引导，不要强迫，空处和前文为顺接关系，可能会进一步说明创作中要享受过程而不是只关注结果。所以D项“享受过程而不是关注结果。”符合语境，该选项与上文内容相呼应，强调在创作中要享受过程，而不是强迫自己追求完美结果，符合无为中让事物自然发展的理念。故选D。 5．上文“Living Wuwei isn’t about not trying—it’s about doing less of what disturbs your flow.(过无为的生活不是不努力——而是少做那些干扰你自然节奏的事情)”总结了过无为生活的要点，空处和前文为顺接关系，可能会发出呼吁，鼓励人们按照这种方式生活。所以C项“放手，相信过程，享受旅程。”符合语境。该选项呼应前文“顺应自然节奏”和“信任这种节奏”，作为结尾句恰当。故选C。 Passage 2 (24-25高二下·河南省平顶山市部分学校·期末) Imagine your body as a complex machine tuned to a specific rhythm (节奏). This rhythm is known as your biological clock. 1 Understanding your biological clock, along with the principles of Chinese biological clocks, can efficiently change how you organize your day, helping you become more productive and energetic. Research shows that people fall into different categories based on their biological clocks. For instance, “early birds” prefer waking up early and peak in activity during the morning. 2 In contrast, “night owls” are more active in the evening and nighttime; their productivity kicks in after lunch and extends into the late hours. 3 In traditional Chinese medicine, there’s the concept of Chinese biological clocks, which assigns specific bodily functions to each hour. For example, the liver meridian (经络) is active from 1 am to 3 am, making this time crucial for deep sleep and recovery; the stomach meridian is active from 9 am to 11 am, making this the best time for a hearty breakfast and kicking off important tasks. Recognizing your biological clock can help you identify the ideal windows for physical activity, meals, and mental work. 4 For instance, if you’re a “night owl”, try scheduling important tasks for the afternoon, when your brain is most active. Conversely, if you’re an “early bird”, plan key meetings and intense workouts in the morning. Ultimately, understanding and applying this knowledge can not only boost your productivity but also improve your overall well-being, helping you adjust your internal clock to external demands. 5 A．They can be highly productive from 6 am to noon. B．They always know what to prioritize in their schedule. C．However, the biological clock is just one part of the problem. D．It determines the time of day you feel most focused and productive. E．Then, your day will become more structured and your life more balanced. F．Life and work demands might not always perfectly fit your body’s natural rhythm. G．Experiment with different routines to discover what matches your natural rhythms best. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了个人生物钟以及中医时辰养生的概念，并建议根据自身节律优化作息安排，以提高效率和整体健康。 1．前文“Imagine your body as a complex machine tuned to a specific rhythm (节奏).

(例如，“早鸟型”的人更喜欢早起，并在早晨达到最佳活动状态)”介绍“早鸟型”的人最活跃的时间段，后文“In contrast, “night owls” are more active in the evening and nighttime; their productivity kicks in after lunch and extends into the late hours. (与之相反，“夜猫子”型的人在傍晚和夜间更为活跃；他们的工作效率往往在午后开始提升，并持续到深夜)”介绍“夜猫子”型的人最活跃的时间段，以及他们的高效时间段，因此A项“They can be highly productive from 6 am to noon. (他们在早上6点到中午12点之间效率最高)”符合语境，说明“早鸟型”的人的高效时间段，承接前文，和后文构成对比，其中的They指代前文的early birds。故选A。 3．前文主要讨论西方生物钟的概念，后文“In traditional Chinese medicine, there’s the concept of Chinese biological clocks, which assigns specific bodily functions to each hour. (在传统中医理论中，存在着“十二时辰养生法”的概念，它将人体的各项生理功能对应分配到一天中的不同时辰)”介绍中医“时辰养生法”的概念，因此C项“However, the biological clock is just one part of the problem. (然而，生物钟只是问题的一部分)”符合语境，表明生物钟之外还有其他概念，和前文构成转折，引出后文。故选C。 4．前文“Recognizing your biological clock can help you identify the ideal windows for physical activity, meals, and mental work. (认清自身的生物钟规律，能帮你精准锁定运动、饮食及脑力工作的黄金时段)”指出根据生物钟安排活动的好处，后文“For instance, if you’re a “night owl”, try scheduling important tasks for the afternoon, when your brain is most active. (比如说，如果你是“夜猫子”型，建议把重要任务安排在下午大脑最活跃的时段完成)”举例说明“夜猫子”型的人应如何安排活动，因此G项“Experiment with different routines to discover what matches your natural rhythms best. (尝试不同的作息，找到最适合你自然节律的方式)”符合语境，建议通过尝试找到适合自身的作息，承接前文，后文是对其例证。故选G。 5．前文“Ultimately, understanding and applying this knowledge can not only boost your productivity but also improve your overall well-being, helping you adjust your internal clock to external demands. (最终，理解并运用这些知识不仅能提升你的工作效率，更能改善整体健康状态，帮助你调节内在生物钟以适应外部需求)”总结运用生物钟和时辰养生的概念对自身的各种作用，因此E项“Then, your day will become more structured and your life more balanced.

Here are some ways you can develop your critical thinking skills: Ask questions Asking basic questions can help to make a situation clear or help you think through new information, but that’s not enough. 1 Everyone makes assumptions based on experience or knowledge, but sometimes they are faulty. Challenging them can lead to discoveries or different ways of solving a problem. Consider consequences As best you can with the information you have, consider the consequences of a line of reasoning or a particular decision. Think about the way those consequences change if you make a different decision or change your reasoning. 1 This involves looking at the situation not only from your perspective (角度), but also the perspectives of everyone else affected by the decision. Evaluate opposing views For many opinions and ideas, some take a different, even conflicting viewpoint. You can develop your critical thinking skills by looking for those opposing opinions and evaluating them for yourself. 1 Reverse (使反转) your thinking 1 Instead of A coming from B, consider how the situation would change if B came from A．Or instead of considering how A affects B, consider how B affects A．This may not provide you with an immediate solution, but it forces you to change perspective and could suggest a different way to approach a problem. A．Consider all the angles you can. B．Question your assumptions, too. C．Their thoughts may be in line with yours. D．Assumptions should also become your priority. E．Critical thinking skills don’t come easily to some people. F．One way to help you think about things differently is to turn the problem around. G．Doing this gives you a broader perspective and helps you make better quality decisions. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．A 4．G 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了培养批判性思维技能的方法。 1．根据下文“Nevertheless, anyone can develop and improve them.(然而，任何人都可以培养和提高它们)” 可知，空处与下文形成转折关系，引出下文关于培养批判性思维技能方法的内容，说明虽然对一些人来说不容易，但仍可培养提高。E选项“批判性思维技能对一些人来说并不容易掌握”与下文构成转折，逻辑连贯，故选E。 2．根据上文“Asking basic questions can help to make a situation clear or help you think through new information, but that’s not enough.(问一些基本的问题可以帮助你理清情况或帮助你思考新的信息，但这还不够)”及下文“Everyone makes assumptions based on experience or knowledge, but sometimes they are faulty. Challenging them can lead to discoveries or different ways of solving a problem.(每个人都会基于经验或知识做出假设，但有时这些假设是错误的。挑战它们可以带来发现或解决问题的不同方法)”可知，空处承上启下，B选项“也要质疑你的假设”说明除了问基本问题，还要质疑假设，符合语境，故选B。 3．根据上文“As best you can with the information you have, consider the consequences of a line of reasoning or a particular decision. Think about the way those consequences change if you make a different decision or change your reasoning.(尽你所能利用你所拥有的信息，考虑一系列推理或某个特定决策的后果。思考如果你做出不同的决策或改变你的推理，这些后果会如何变化)”及下文“This involves looking at the situation not only from your perspective (角度), but also the perspectives of everyone else affected by the decision.(这涉及不仅从你的角度，还要从受该决策影响的其他人的角度来看待这种情况)”可知，空处承上启下，进一步说明如何考虑后果，A选项“尽可能考虑所有角度”说明要全面分析，引出下文从不同人角度看问题的内容，符合语境，故选A。 4．根据上文“For many opinions and ideas, some take a different, even conflicting viewpoint.

One that isn’t as commonly discussed, but can help you with critical thinking, is the THIEVES method. The goal of using this method is figuring out what you want to learn from the chapter. 1 When practicing this approach, you “steal” information from specific parts of the text. This promotes your understanding of the material and improves your ability to recall it later. This method is recommended widely to children, especially when it comes to teaching reading. 2 The THIEVES study method has been shown to be effective for students of all ages and levels of reading ability. The THIEVES method derives its name from the acronym (首字母缩略词) representing its steps: Title, Heading, Introduction, Every first sentence, Visual, End of the text, and Summary. 3 By having learners focus on specific sections of the text and asking themselves targeted questions, they can deepen their understanding of the content. 4 The title gives you a clue about the text, enabling you to predict what it will cover. Headings tell you the main point of each part. The introduction offers an outline of the text. The first sentence of each paragraph usually summarizes its central idea. Visuals such as photos and drawings aid in visualizing the information presented in the text. The last paragraph often points out the most important information. 5 Use it the next time you break open a fresh chapter for school, and it will help you stay engaged as you go, and give you notes to look back on when you review in the future. A．This simple act is called previewing. B．Many people are unwilling to use this method. C．But don’t think that it can’t be used by older learners. D．Each step plays an important role in understanding a text. E．Finally, the summary will give you the whole picture of the text. F．It is designed to guide learners in identifying vital points of interest. G．It also helps you understand how the information within it connects. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．F 4．D 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了THIEVES学习法，包括其目的、适用人群、名称由来、各个步骤的作用以及使用建议。 1．根据上文“The goal of using this method is figuring out what you want to learn from the chapter.

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。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省南阳市·期末) April 22 is International Earth Day, a date that stresses the importance of rethinking our relationship with natural resources.

You always bring your own reusable bags and chopsticks when going out. Of course you won’t forget to buy local and seasonal fruits and vegetables to reduce carbon footprint caused by transportation. 1 How do you get those around you to live more sustainably? “It can be tricky, especially if they’re not ready to embrace the concept, but there are some ways,” says Silvia de Denaro Vieira in San Francisco, the co-founder of the home management app Coexist, which helps families join forces at home. 2 You can focus on pointing out one habit at a time. Reducing single-use plastics and building up from there is a good beginning. 3 If you family members don’t care about living a green life, find out what they do care about. Many eco-friendly choices also save money, cut down on waste or make daily life more efficient. For example, switching to energy-efficient appliances or LED bulbs can lower electricity bills, which might appeal to family members interested in saving money. 4 Keeping reusable bags in the car or setting up a simple waste sorting process in the kitchen can reduce pressure for your family members. They may feel automatic rather than like extra work. “Respect others’ boundaries.” Silvia asks everyone to take note of this. 5 If your family is resistant to a particular habit, it helps to take a step back and focus on what’s troubling them rather than forcing the issue. Only when they achieve energy conservation in a way that matches their comfort and priorities can their behaviors be sustainable. A．Sustainability is a long game. B．“Make it easy,” Silvia stresses. C．But it is not the case with your family. D．She suggests doing this job by starting small. E．It is everyone’s duty to reduce the burden on the earth. F．Around the world, 3R life has found their way into our daily life. G．Another tip is to base sustainable actions on your family’s priorities. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省项城市第三高级中学·期末) Living in a city, one often sees a group of runners. As they pass by, they show a sense of health and well-being. These groups of runners are often part of a local running club. Joining such a group club is great for those who like jogging, love outdoor sports, and want a fitness challenge. 1 Feel encouraged You may think running clubs are for professional players. 1 You will find others who run at your pace and will soon feel encouraged to run a little further or faster. If you are a beginner, being part of a running club may inspire you to love the sport. Become more responsible When one runs alone, it can be harder to go out of the door and onto the pavement. 1 Your running friends will be looking forward to seeing you and will miss you if you do not show up. Be social When you are part of a club, you can make new friends who share the same passion. This offers a sense of belonging. And after a while, these new friends feel like a warm family and can become lifelong friends. 1 If one is taking on something new or challenging, it is best to have lots of warm support along the way. Feel safe 1 When running alone at night, one may trip or fall due to the darkness. People are there for support when meeting an accident. Being with a group at night may also help one feel more secure and safe. A．Become a better runner. B．After all, humans are social. C．Being part of a group pushes you to show up. D．The benefits of running club membership are obvious. E．In fact, most clubs have members of different running levels. F．When you are part of a group, it is easier for drivers to see runners. G．Here are some reasons to inspire you to join that group of runners! Passage 2 (24-25高二下·河南省信阳市商城县观庙高中等多校联考·期末) Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable. ·Think about how you want to travel. 1 Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer. · 2 Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). 3 So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer. ·Try all the available options. If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. 1 ·Don’t rely on map apps. Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. 1 So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go. A．Don’t limit your choices. B．It takes time to find the best. C．Study the city you will travel to. D．You won’t know until you try them all. E．What works here might not work there. F．The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest. G．Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time. Passage 3 (24-25高二下·河南省三门峡市渑池县渑池县第二高级中学·期末) When you’ re looking for inspiration, where do you go? 1 look through some magazines or design books, or even take a walk and take some photos. Depending on your project, the images, words, colors, and materials that inspire you might reveal interconnected themes. 2 Widely used for brainstorming, the mood board is a tool that inspires creativity across various fields. It’s an arrangement of elements that contribute to a project to keep its theme clear and consistent. It should include images, colors, textures, and typography (版面设计). 3 . Mood boards can aid clients in forming a clear picture of what the final product will look like. They serve as a visual dictionary, translating design terms like minimalism, an art movement which emphasizes extreme simplification of form and color, or realism, an art movement in which artists and writers struggle for detailed realistic and factual description into a language that is understandable at a glance. 4 It’s also essential in guiding the design process, ensuring that all project participants have a shared understanding of the aesthetic (审美的) objectives. 5 They can be made digitally on websites or physically by sticking or pinning materials onto a board. Consider starting your next project with a mood board to streamline your creative process and clarify your vision. A．Mood boards are easy to create B．Bring ideas to life: the mood board C．You might do an image search online D．Innovation is the primary driver of growth E．If you have gathered some elements representing an idea, you’ ve created a mood board F．The moment clients see a mood board, they can grasp the ideas and express their preferences G．Each element is selected to be in tune with the project’s concept and set the desired atmosphere Passage 4 (24-25高二下·河南省许昌市·期末) Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure. It can also help you open your mind to new ideas and perspectives. 1 They provide insight, tips, and inspiration for people looking to explore the world around them. From detailed guides to personal stories, these books offer readers a way to experience the world without ever leaving their homes. One book that perfectly captures (描述) the spirit of travel is The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande. 2 Through her moving writing style, Grande paints a vivid picture of the struggles and joys of crossing a physical and cultural border. Her book has a great impact on readers. 3 By sharing her own experiences, Grande offers hope and inspiration to anyone looking to take the leap and explore the world around them. One of the greatest benefits of traveling to places inspired by books for students is the opportunity to explore and learn about many different cultures. Immersing (使沉浸) yourself in unfamiliar surroundings can help open your eyes to different ways of life. 4 Being able to communicate effectively with those from different backgrounds is essential for any student, especially in today’s international society. 5 It can further improve conversation and fluency (流畅). Lastly, by traveling to places inspired by books, students will gain a deeper understanding of the works that inspired them to take the journey in the first place. A．Meeting new people can be invaluable. B．That’s why there are so many books about traveling. C．Literary works often include ideas beyond a reader’s imagination. D．It can even help you gain insight into why people live differently from you. E．It’s an inspiring story that will stay with them long after they finish the last page. F．Traveling abroad helps students practice using their language skills in real-life situations. G．In this book, Grande describes her journey from Mexico to America and how it shaped her life. Passage 5 (24-25高二下·河南省信阳市·期末) Let’s be honest here: Impulse (冲动) buying is kind of fun — at least in the moment. People impulsively spend an average of $ 150 every month. That adds up to an extra $ 1,800 spent every year and about $ 108,000 in a lifetime. Ouch! 1 Let’s find out. ● Make a budget and stick to it. First things first: You need a budget. 1 A budget isn’t a magic wand (魔法棒) that will suddenly make all of your money behave. It’s on you to tell your money where to go each month and then follow through with that plan. ● Give yourself permission to spend. Yes, I just told you to stick to your budget — and you always should. 1 You’ve already budgeted a small part of spending money for it, so that reward or treat isn’t an impulse buy anymore. ● Wait a day or longer before you make a purchase. These days it’s so easy to see something we want and click, click, click it into a purchase. One way to help here is to give yourself a day or so before you buy something. Then ask yourself if you’ll actually use this thing and if you can pay for it now. 1 Don’t let a countdown rush you into buying anything! A sale will come back around. Trust me. ● 2 Don’t let your emotions control your spending habits! This can lead to impulsive shopping, whether to reward yourself on a good day or to deal with a bad one. We’ve all been there before. How can you fix it? Whether you’re celebrating or trying to cheer yourself up, don’t buy anything when your emotions are riding a roller coaster. A．Then you have to actually keep to it. B．Make your budget as low as possible. C．Avoid shopping when you’re emotional. D．Why is it so easy to buy things on impulse? E．How can we stop the impulsive shopping habit? F．And watch out for deals that are only good for 24 hours. G．But it’s also important to throw a little fun money in there. Passage 6 (24-25高二下·河南省开封市·期末) With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train? Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible. Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. 1 But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. 2 Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. 3 In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold. Arrive early. Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster. 4 Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. Have fun. 5 Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph. A．Train trips aren’t for impatient types. B．You’ll have views from both sides of the train. C．The temperature on rail cars is often hard to control. D．That’s particularly true during busy summer months. E．You might have to wait longer than 24 hours to catch the next one. F．Chances are that the cost will be a lot less than the cost of one bedroom. G．He may also book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner. Passage 7 (24-25高二下·河南省新乡市·期末) A positive attitude keeps you more active and happy. There are tips to develop a positive attitude in life. It betters your relationships and heightens your chances of seeing success. 1 Here, in this article, we will discuss some tips and tricks to be positive in life. Carry a happy attitude with you. It is you who can make yourself happy. You do not have to wait for good things to happen for you to be happy. Be happy first, and you will see good things happening to you. 2 Spend some time alone. All of us need breaks. These breaks can help you spend some time with yourself and get to know yourself better. Often when people are feeling low, they spend time with other people to make them feel better. 3 However, as much as you talk to other people about your feelings, you must also talk to yourself. Thus, every day, there should be some “me time” that you spend with just yourself. Embrace negativity with solutions. 4 Instead, accept the negative emotions, such as sadness and anger, and give them the necessary solution. 5 We are all going to come across multiple troubles in our life. Life is not a bed of roses. There will be bad days, and there will be good days. When you come across some not so happening event in life, try to shift your focus to the benefits, regardless of how small or unimportant they may seem. A．Focus on the good in life. B．Never do anything passively. C．Then you will stick to it for the rest of your day. D．Moreover, a positive attitude also increases your creativity. E．Of course, speaking to someone is a great way to feel better. F．Always remember, happiness is not a situation; it is an attitude. G．Being positive doesn’t mean you should ignore the negative thoughts around you. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省信阳市固始县永和高中联考·期末) Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. 1 Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master. The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. 2 Thus, the novelisation was a great solution. Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. 3 In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative. But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version? Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. 4 Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices. Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. 5 A．But what about book adaptations of films? B．Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too. C．For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers. D．Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly. E．But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape. F．Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium. G．Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary. Passage 2 (24-25高二下·河南省商丘市九师联盟·期末) As the Brazil Carnival (狂欢节) 2025 gets underway, the energetic dances of samba school performers are hard to miss. In cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sāo Paulo, dancers in colorful, feathery costumes move fast to the energetic beats of musical instruments. 1 . It’s a symbol of Brazilian pride and unity, and its significance extends well beyond the Carnival celebrations. Samba is a social dance that builds connections. 2 . For example, in community samba workshops, beginners often form lasting friendships as they laugh through missteps and cheer each other on. These shared experiences, from learning complex routines to performing together, solidify the sense of community among dancers. 3 . It’s a high-intensity workout. Research shows that just 30 minutes of samba dancing burns as many calories as a fast run. What’s more, consistent samba practice over time can significantly lower blood pressure, reduce heart disease risk, and improve heart health. Its footwork also helps with balance and leg strength. Samba delivers mental health advantages. Emotionally, samba is a stress reliever. 4 . Dancers often share that following a session, they experience intense happiness and a sudden rush of liveliness, with their improved mood lasting for hours. Also, the rhythms (节奏) of samba may boost brain health. 5 , making it beneficial for improving memory and problem-solving abilities across all age groups. Whether you want to join Brazil’s big party, experience its culture, or take a local samba class, samba is a great way to stay healthy in body and mind. It encourages you not only to move but also to enjoy life one dance step at a time. A．Carnival attracts samba lovers worldwide B．Samba also offers physical health benefits C．Dancers wear unique samba shoes for better movement D．However, it’s important to realize that samba is not just a dance E．A study found that regular rhythmic movement can improve thinking skills F．It brings people together, whether at Carnival or in small classes worldwide G．The happy music and energetic moves help dancers forget worries and feel better Passage 3 (24-25高二下·河南省南阳市六校·期末) How rapidly the world has changed becomes clear when we consider how even quite recent computer technology feels ancient today. Mobile phone s in the 1990s were big bricks with tiny green displays. 1 In a short period, they developed so quickly and became such a necessary part of our daily lives. No wonder it’s easy to forget how recent this technology is. The first digital computers were only invented about eight decades ago. 2 Folklore and historical attempts to build programmable devices reflect this longstanding ambition. And fiction is filled with the possibilities of intelligent machines, imagining their benefits and dangers. It’s no wonder that when Open AI released the first version of GPT, it quickly gained widespread attention, marking a significant step to ward realizing this ancient dream. Computers and artificial intelligence（AI） have developed greatly. 3 Because computer technology feels so familiar, it is easy to forget that all of these technologies we interact with today are very recent innovations and that the most profound changes are yet to come. AI has already changed what we see, what we know, and what we do. 4 On the contrary, particularly over the course of the last decade, the fundamental trends have accelerated（加速）：investments in AI technology have rapidly increased, and the doubling time of training computation has shortened to just six months. All major technological innovations lead to a range of positive and negative consequences. This is already true of AI. 5 A．However, we are still in the early stages of the development. B．In recent years, very few people have understood the field of AI. C．Humans have dreamed of creating thinking machines since ancient times. D．Two decades before that, the main storage for computers was huge cards. E．And there are no signs that these trends are hitting any limits anytime soon. F．As this technology becomes more and more powerful, its effects will still increase. G．A technological development as powerful as this should be at the center of our attention. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省安阳市滑县部分学校·期末) What’s the key to leading a harmonious life? According to Taoism, it’s not about trying too hard. However, this doesn’t mean being lazy. Instead, it begins with letting go and aligning (使一致) yourself with life’s natural rhythm. Flow in harmony with nature. 1 ? For instance, forcing yourself to sleep can make you restless, while overthinking can hold back progress. The harder you try to control something, the greater the resistance you’ll encounter. Don’t try in everyday life. Understanding a philosophy is one thing. Living it is another. Wuwei, the art of effortlessness, encourages you to release control and align with life’s natural flow. 2 ? Here are simple ways to quiet the mind, welcome creativity, and develop patience. 3 . Wuwei begins with letting go. Overthinking ruins progress and peace, so stop trying to control every thought. Instead, try practices such as tai chi and breathing exercises. These can calm busy minds and help you observe thoughts without judgment. Be creative. Creativity provides a way to enter the flow state. Whether you’re painting, writing, or playing music, let curiosity and playfulness guide you. The best musicians don’t force their art—they embody it. 4 . Dive into the joy of creating, and you’ll find a place of expansion and imagination that fits with Wuwei. Adopt patience. The universe doesn’t rush, and neither should you. The sun rises and sets, and seasons unfold naturally. Patience is about trusting this rhythm. Accept change gracefully and have faith that things will turn out as they should. Living Wuwei isn’t about not trying—it’s about doing less of what disturbs your flow. 5 ! A．Relax your mind B．Increase your productivity C．Let go, trust the process, and enjoy the ride D．Enjoy the process instead of focusing on results E．But how do you bring this into your daily routine F．Try your best to struggle for perfect results in your creation G．Have you ever noticed that excessive effort often leads to the opposite result Passage 2 (24-25高二下·河南省平顶山市部分学校·期末) Imagine your body as a complex machine tuned to a specific rhythm (节奏). This rhythm is known as your biological clock. 1 Understanding your biological clock, along with the principles of Chinese biological clocks, can efficiently change how you organize your day, helping you become more productive and energetic. Research shows that people fall into different categories based on their biological clocks. For instance, “early birds” prefer waking up early and peak in activity during the morning. 2 In contrast, “night owls” are more active in the evening and nighttime; their productivity kicks in after lunch and extends into the late hours. 3 In traditional Chinese medicine, there’s the concept of Chinese biological clocks, which assigns specific bodily functions to each hour. For example, the liver meridian (经络) is active from 1 am to 3 am, making this time crucial for deep sleep and recovery; the stomach meridian is active from 9 am to 11 am, making this the best time for a hearty breakfast and kicking off important tasks. Recognizing your biological clock can help you identify the ideal windows for physical activity, meals, and mental work. 4 For instance, if you’re a “night owl”, try scheduling important tasks for the afternoon, when your brain is most active. Conversely, if you’re an “early bird”, plan key meetings and intense workouts in the morning. Ultimately, understanding and applying this knowledge can not only boost your productivity but also improve your overall well-being, helping you adjust your internal clock to external demands. 5 A．They can be highly productive from 6 am to noon. B．They always know what to prioritize in their schedule. C．However, the biological clock is just one part of the problem. D．It determines the time of day you feel most focused and productive. E．Then, your day will become more structured and your life more balanced. F．Life and work demands might not always perfectly fit your body’s natural rhythm. G．Experiment with different routines to discover what matches your natural rhythms best. Passage 3 (24-25高二下·河南省驻马店市·期末) How To Develop Critical Thinking Skills Critical thinking skills enable you to analyze information and process it rationally (理性地) to help you determine the value of that information or make a decision. 1 Nevertheless, anyone can develop and improve them. Here are some ways you can develop your critical thinking skills: Ask questions Asking basic questions can help to make a situation clear or help you think through new information, but that’s not enough. 1 Everyone makes assumptions based on experience or knowledge, but sometimes they are faulty. Challenging them can lead to discoveries or different ways of solving a problem. Consider consequences As best you can with the information you have, consider the consequences of a line of reasoning or a particular decision. Think about the way those consequences change if you make a different decision or change your reasoning. 1 This involves looking at the situation not only from your perspective (角度), but also the perspectives of everyone else affected by the decision. Evaluate opposing views For many opinions and ideas, some take a different, even conflicting viewpoint. You can develop your critical thinking skills by looking for those opposing opinions and evaluating them for yourself. 1 Reverse (使反转) your thinking 1 Instead of A coming from B, consider how the situation would change if B came from A．Or instead of considering how A affects B, consider how B affects A．This may not provide you with an immediate solution, but it forces you to change perspective and could suggest a different way to approach a problem. A．Consider all the angles you can. B．Question your assumptions, too. C．Their thoughts may be in line with yours. D．Assumptions should also become your priority. E．Critical thinking skills don’t come easily to some people. F．One way to help you think about things differently is to turn the problem around. G．Doing this gives you a broader perspective and helps you make better quality decisions. Passage 4 (24-25高二下·河南省部分学校·期末) There are a lot of popular study methods to choose from. One that isn’t as commonly discussed, but can help you with critical thinking, is the THIEVES method. The goal of using this method is figuring out what you want to learn from the chapter. 1 When practicing this approach, you “steal” information from specific parts of the text. This promotes your understanding of the material and improves your ability to recall it later. This method is recommended widely to children, especially when it comes to teaching reading. 2 The THIEVES study method has been shown to be effective for students of all ages and levels of reading ability. The THIEVES method derives its name from the acronym (首字母缩略词) representing its steps: Title, Heading, Introduction, Every first sentence, Visual, End of the text, and Summary. 3 By having learners focus on specific sections of the text and asking themselves targeted questions, they can deepen their understanding of the content. 4 The title gives you a clue about the text, enabling you to predict what it will cover. Headings tell you the main point of each part. The introduction offers an outline of the text. The first sentence of each paragraph usually summarizes its central idea. Visuals such as photos and drawings aid in visualizing the information presented in the text. The last paragraph often points out the most important information. 5 Use it the next time you break open a fresh chapter for school, and it will help you stay engaged as you go, and give you notes to look back on when you review in the future. A．This simple act is called previewing. B．Many people are unwilling to use this method. C．But don’t think that it can’t be used by older learners. D．Each step plays an important role in understanding a text. E．Finally, the summary will give you the whole picture of the text. F．It is designed to guide learners in identifying vital points of interest. G．It also helps you understand how the information within it connects. Passage 5 (24-25高二下·河南省方城县第一高级中学·期末) 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. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (24-25高二下·河南省南阳市·期末) April 22 is International Earth Day, a date that stresses the importance of rethinking our relationship with natural resources. With so much over-consumption and environmental damage, tourism also needs to be rethought. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the tourism industry is responsible for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 1 . It is in this context that sustainable ecotourism stands out. Here are four positive impacts of ecotourism: 2 Ecotourism encourages the preservation of natural areas by generating economic value associated with conservation. Destinations that previously faced deforestation, hunting and illegal mining now see the protection of biodiversity as an ongoing and legitimate source of income. Strengthening local communities through inclusive employment By employing guides, small producers and owners of family-run inns, ecotourism distributes income to many different people. 1 Offering environmental education via immersive experiences 1 . Visitors get to know the environmental challenges of each region and return home more aware of their role as citizens. Reconnecting with the planet by embracing mindful trips More than just a style of travel, ecotourism invites us to change our mentality: to get out of the consumption mode and into a more attentive rhythm, more sensitive to the rhythms of the earth.
