专题07 七选五
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·北京东城·期末)
Over the last decade, STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-has become increasingly defined as the symbol of development, success, and progress. Incoming college students are increasingly choosing majors like computer science, biology, and engineering, even if some of them are not particularly interested in those subjects. ____35____ However, this has subsequently left liberal arts and the importance of the field behind.
____36____ To answer the question, we need to consider what liberal arts are. Different from STEM, liberal arts are essentially the broad study of how the world works, assisting with students’ critical thinking, creative application, and social skills, ranging from topics like psychology and sociology to linguistics and history.
Although today STEM-based education seems to be the most effective path to take for career prospects, liberal arts can produce just as much success. This is mainly due to the fact that a liberal arts education teaches students important soft, social skills, including clear and effective communication, error-free writing, problem-solving, and successful data analysis, among others. ____37____ Without them, how can a student properly prepare themselves for a career?
In addition, students in liberal arts possess the most important characteristic of being more human. What they learn brings them distinctive social insights. ____38____ It not only translates into more humanized employees in the future workforce but also provides a significant positive effect, too. As much as AI has taken the world by storm, it does not take away from the fact that when someone calls customer service, they want to hear a human voice. They want someone who can considerately help them solve their problems on a more emotional level rather than just being assisted by a robot that follows a program.
As society continues to evolve, and people’s needs and wants continue to change, merely sticking to practical, baseline solutions will not work. That’s exactly where liberal arts come in. ____39____ And that’s the beauty and importance of liberal arts.
A. Why are students today seeking towards the field?
B. Do liberal arts still matter in a STEM-driven world?
C. These skills are what a good employee should have.
D. Anyway, it seems like the “right” thing to do for their future.
E. This nature generally can’t come from STEM-based education.
F. That’s why both liberal arts and STEM are important for a progressive society.
G. AI will never be able to truly understand humanity as an actual human mind can.
Passage 2
(24-25高二下·北京西城·期末)
Forgiveness is something that many of us strive for, but it can often feel difficult to achieve. Over the years, we’ve heard countless people express the intention to forgive, only to struggle with the emotional roadblocks that prevent them from truly letting go.
First, let’s define forgiveness. ____25____ It’s not about forgetting what happened or excusing harmful behavior. In fact, our minds tell us that if we stay angry, bitter, or distant, we’ll be safe from further hurt. ____26____ While holding onto memories and creating distance may offer temporary emotional safeguards, it often deepens our sadness, isolates us, and prevents us from healing. Forgiveness, on the other hand, is about choosing not to let that pain continue to define your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Forgiveness is essential because we’re all human, and we all make mistakes. If we want to cultivate meaningful relationships, there will unavoidably be times when we hurt one another. Forgiveness becomes crucial in maintaining those connections and our own peace of mind. ____27____ Forgiving yourself is especially important. Raising walls of bitterness or anger toward yourself is deeply damaging. When you hold on to shame or guilt, you create emotional barriers that prevent you from living fully and authentically.
So, how do we forgive? While the journey is deeply personal and can vary from person to person, there are key steps that can help guide us. Acknowledge the hurt and pain exactly as it is. ____28____ This perspective allows us to see others (and ourselves) as imperfect humans doing the best they can with what they have. Extend sympathy to yourself and others. Choose to release bitterness and move forward in line with your values.
____29____ It’s an ongoing practice. But every time you choose forgiveness, you create space for love and healing to flow through your life.
A. It is a continuous process.
B. But we know that this isn’t true.
C. Recognize that everyone has faults.
D. Remember that forgiveness isn’t a one-time event.
E. Forgiveness is the decision to release attachment to a painful past.
F. You don’t have to communicate with the person who wronged you.
G. In fact, we may need to forgive not only others but ourselves as well.
Passage 3
(24-25高二下·北京海淀·期末)
Conflict Avoidance Doesn’t Do You Any Favors
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. ____33____ Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics.
Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. ____34____
However, disagreeing with someone doesn’t necessarily mean “fighting”. It’s not about blaming the other person or proving who’s right and wrong in a given situation. Conflict resolution is about standing up for yourself and communicating when you feel angry or frustrated.
Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. ____35____ You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.”
Drawing upon your sensory toolbox also helps. If you’re a visual person, you can relieve stress by closing your eyes and imagining soothing images. Similarly, if you’re more comforted by smells, keeping an essential oil on hand is a good choice.
One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” ____36____ You’ll feel confident when addressing them.
____37____ While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers.
A. Practise the key points you’d like to get across.
B. Different cultures have diverse ways of handling conflicts.
C. Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives.
D. In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary.
E. Rather than allow conflicts to run wild in your head, try a firmer approach.
F. Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs.
G. Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.
Passage 4
(24-25高二下·北京朝阳·期末)
Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. ____45____ Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more.
To understand why facial expressivity is so beneficial, we first need to emphasise just how crucial social bonding is to human survival. Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. ____46____ Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. And our research suggests that facial expressivity may fall in this category.
____47____ Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable.
Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. ____48____ And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner.
Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary — leaving people easy to be hurt. ____49____ So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table.
A. However, our work shows that it comes with rewards.
B. Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death.
C. Interestingly, more agreeable people were more facially expressive.
D. For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits.
E. You might guess that people with cheerful expressions are best liked.
F. Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds?
G. Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free.
Passage 5
(24-25高二下·北京丰台·期末)
When was the last time you felt proud of being sensitive? Most likely the answer is never. ____35____. It’s used to mean you’re fragile thin-skinned or just overreacting. Men are told that they shouldn’t be sensitive at all, whereas women are told not to be “so” sensitive.
Either way, the message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up”. Putting aside that this approach doesn’t work, it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic (基因的) , and not something you can turn off. ____36____
As a personality trait (特性) , being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are wired at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. ____37____ You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply, and have a vivid inner life. You probably also get overstimulated in situations that don’t bother anyone else. Sensitive people are wired to go deep. And that depth comes with gifts.
The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, including Charles Darwin. They tend to spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads. This process helps them see more possibilities and solutions
____38____ They often become overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep. But sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it — particularly by building time into each day to simply let the mind process and “catch up”. For sensitive people, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way.
If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. ____39____ Instead, embrace (拥抱) it, and show it to the world.
A. However, sensitive people do pay a price.
B. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are.
C. It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to embrace.
D. A second strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability.
E. If you’re sensitive, this deep processing changes the way you see the world.
F. We take pride in many traits but being “sensitive” is often viewed as a weakness.
G. Sensitive people naturally attract more social attention due to their emotional expressiveness.
Passage 6
(24-25高二下·北京石景山·期末)
Many people dream of becoming great writers, but writing is not easy. Some believe that great writers are born, not made. However, most successful writers agree that learning and effort play a bigger role than talent.
One important step in improving writing is reading a lot. Good writers are often good readers. ____35____ When reading different styles, writers can discover new techniques and improve their own work. Books, newspapers, and even online articles can offer valuable insights into effective writing.
Another useful habit is writing every day. Writers who practice daily tend to develop a natural flow in their writing. ____36____ Even writing short paragraphs regularly can make a big difference over time. Keeping a journal, writing letters, or composing short stories are good ways to build confidence and improve skills.
____37____ Many writers share their work with friends, teachers, or writing groups. They are able to provide guidance on enhancing the writing. While criticism can be difficult to accept, it helps writers recognize their strengths and weaknesses. Constructive feedback can guide them to make necessary changes and improve their clarity and style.
Editing and rewriting are necessary parts of writing. ____38____ Good writers revise their work multiple times to make it clearer and more effective. They remove unnecessary words, fix grammar mistakes, and refine their ideas. The best writing is often the result of careful revision and attention to detail.
Writing well takes time, but with regular practice and feedback, anyone can improve. The key is to stay patient and keep writing, even when progress feels slow. ____39____
A. First drafts are rarely perfect.
B. Receiving feedback is also important.
C. Daily writing leads to long-term improvement.
D. Daily writing doesn’t require writing a large amount.
E. The more effort writers put in, the better they become.
F. The most effective way to improve is to write frequently and extensively.
G. In fact, reading enables people to better understand various writing styles.
Passage 7
(24-25高二下·北京顺义·期末)
“But I’m just not funny!” Many people feel this way, and maybe you’ve felt it too. ____31____ It helps us cope and tap into inner resources like resilience (恢复力). It can also improve thinking and learning. Most importantly, humor builds stronger friendships when used kindly. The best part? Humor isn’t a natural talent—it’s a skill anyone can learn. Below are practical ways to develop this skill.
Start by observing others’ humor. ____32____ Be a humor sponge (海绵). Websites, TV shows, and funny friends are all great resources. Watch how your funny friends do it. Praise your funny friends by retelling and revisiting their funny stuff. You can spread joy by simply noticing and sharing good humor.
While prepared jokes work, most humor is organic, occurring naturally in daily life. Take a moment and think about all the funny things pets, kids, and especially adults do by accident. Likely you have some embarrassing stories that, with the passage of time, have become flat-out funny. Not long ago, I thought a thief was breaking into my house, but it was just a wild turkey attacking its reflection in a glass door. ____33____
Natural humor is common, but you can take it to the next level with “humor habits”. One effective way to enhance your sense of humor is to keep a humor journal. ____34____ Then reflect on how they made you feel. This simple practice helps you appreciate the humor around you and can boost your mood. The more you focus on humor, the more you’ll notice it in your daily life and enjoy it.
Just as journaling can sharpen your humor skills, so can purposely building your humor identity. Visualize yourself overflowing with funny ideas, using them to spread laughter, joy, and ease. ____35____ Good humor is a generative gift: the more you share, the more you are likely to receive.
A. Listen to their jokes, laugh, and learn.
B. However, humor holds surprising power.
C. It’s always a good idea to know your audience.
D. At the end of each day, write down the funniest moments.
E. As you deepen your skills, your “humor energy” will energize others.
F. Yet studies show hurtful humor actually reduces people’s sense of happiness.
G. So let’s share and celebrate the light-hearted moments that unfold in everyday life.
Passage 8
(24-25高二下·北京大兴·期末)
In our daily lives, we interact with a variety of people, such as family members, friends, classmates, and colleagues. ____35____ These conflicts, if not properly addressed, can lead to stress, hurt feelings, and damaged relationships. However, by learning some effective strategies, we can turn these conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and stronger connections.
Identify the Root Cause
The first step in resolving a conflict is to figure out what’s really going on. ____36____ For example, if you and your friend are arguing about which movie to watch, the underlying issue might not be about the movie at all. It could be that one of you feels like your opinions are never listened to in the friendship. Try to have an open-minded conversation to uncover these hidden issues. Listen to the other person’s perspective without interrupting and ask clarifying questions to fully understand their point of view.
Control Your Emotions
Emotions can run high during a conflict. It’s easy to get angry, defensive, or upset. When you’re angry, you might say or do things that you’ll regret later. Take a few deep breaths before responding. If possible, take a short break from the conversation to calm down. You can also try techniques like counting to ten or repeating a calming phrase in your mind Remember, the goal is to resolve the conflict, not to win an argument. ____37____
Practice Active Listening
Active listening is crucial in conflict resolution. This means fully focusing or what the other person is saying. Maintain eye contact, nod to show you’re listening, and give verbal cues like “I see” or “Go on.” Avoid interrupting the other person. After they’ve finished speaking, summarize what they’ve said to make sure you understand correctly. ____38____ For instance, you could say, “So, what you’re saying is that you feel we should have made this decision together, right?”
Seek a Win-Win Solution
Rather than trying to prove that you’re right and the other person is wrong look for a solution that satisfies both parties. ____39____ Brainstorm different options together. Maybe you can combine elements of both of your ideas or come up with a completely new solution. For example, if two roommates are arguing about how to decorate their shared living space, they could each choose one area of the room to decorate according to their own style. This way, both roommates get to have a say and feel satisfied with the outcome.
A. Most conflicts are not as simple as they first appear.
B. But sometimes, conflicts occur in these relationships.
C. Focus on finding common ground and shared interests.
D. Conflicts may cause serious results if they are not solved properly.
E. Understanding each other’s positions is the key to solving conflicts.
F. This not only shows that you respect their opinion but also helps to clarify any misunderstandings.
G. By keeping your emotions in check, you’ll communicate more effectively and find a solution that works for both parties.
Passage 9
(24-25高二下·北京房山·期末)
Learning styles refer to an individual’s preferred or most effective way of learning. Each student has his or her own method. ____35____ The four most common learning styles are: visual, auditory, kinesthetic and reading/writing. Your learning style determines how you access information.
Visual learners best understand information by using their eyes. ____36____ Watching videos, and looking at illustrations are also great tools for a visual learner. They may speak quickly and prefer to work alone rather than in groups.
Auditory learners prefer to listen to information rather than read it or see it visually displayed. They work well in a classroom setting and learn quickly through guidance and stories. They tend to be good listeners. They also learn quickly by listening to lectures and participating in group discussions.
____37____ They use their senses to work on new skills and rely heavily on muscle memory. These learners learn best by doing and tend to have good coordination and best remember what they do. Typically, they enjoy building, making or creating things.
Reading/Writing learners are extremely comfortable with the written word. ____38____ They love to make lists and prefer written directions. The traditional lecture and note-taking environment works well for this learning style.
We all learn differently. We all have our own approach to learning, based on our experience, practice, and innate preferences for what works. Everyone learns best if we are able to experience a lesson in a way that makes sense to us. Some students are comfortable with one particular learning style, while others tend to use multiple styles. ____39____
A. They prefer to gain information by reading texts.
B. Kinesthetic learners are the most hands-on learning type.
C. Kinesthetic learners can easily understand what others are saying.
D. This type of learner has difficulty working quietly for long periods of time.
E. But we can all learn things more easily and quickly with our preferred styles.
F. Knowing your learning style can help you find the best way to learn new skills.
G. They absorb and remember information when it is presented in pictures, diagrams or maps.

So, give the reader brief information about everything presented in the essay.
____37____ Billions of essays have been published. Chances are, there would be millions of them who have a topic almost similar to yours. To make your essay stand out, you have to describe your topic with a unique idea and perspective. Doing so is easy, You just have to think outside the box.
____38____ One of the most important tips for writing essays is to resonate with the readers. By using everyday examples you can make people nod at every argument you provide. Real-life or daily-life examples are good ways to connect with readers and engage them emotionally.

Passage 2
(24-25高二下·北京西城·期末)
Forgiveness is something that many of us strive for, but it can often feel difficult to achieve. Over the years, we’ve heard countless people express the intention to forgive, only to struggle with the emotional roadblocks that prevent them from truly letting go.
First, let’s define forgiveness. ____25____ It’s not about forgetting what happened or excusing harmful behavior. In fact, our minds tell us that if we stay angry, bitter, or distant, we’ll be safe from further hurt. ____26____ While holding onto memories and creating distance may offer temporary emotional safeguards, it often deepens our sadness, isolates us, and prevents us from healing. Forgiveness, on the other hand, is about choosing not to let that pain continue to define your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Forgiveness is essential because we’re all human, and we all make mistakes. If we want to cultivate meaningful relationships, there will unavoidably be times when we hurt one another. Forgiveness becomes crucial in maintaining those connections and our own peace of mind. ____27____ Forgiving yourself is especially important. Raising walls of bitterness or anger toward yourself is deeply damaging. When you hold on to shame or guilt, you create emotional barriers that prevent you from living fully and authentically.
So, how do we forgive? While the journey is deeply personal and can vary from person to person, there are key steps that can help guide us. Acknowledge the hurt and pain exactly as it is. ____28____ This perspective allows us to see others (and ourselves) as imperfect humans doing the best they can with what they have. Extend sympathy to yourself and others. Choose to release bitterness and move forward in line with your values.
____29____ It’s an ongoing practice. But every time you choose forgiveness, you create space for love and healing to flow through your life.
A. It is a continuous process.
B. But we know that this isn’t true.
C. Recognize that everyone has faults.
D. Remember that forgiveness isn’t a one-time event.
E. Forgiveness is the decision to release attachment to a painful past.
F. You don’t have to communicate with the person who wronged you.
G. In fact, we may need to forgive not only others but ourselves as well.
【答案】25. E 26. B 27. G 28. C 29. D

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·北京海淀·期末)
Conflict Avoidance Doesn’t Do You Any Favors
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. ____33____ Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics.
Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. ____34____
However, disagreeing with someone doesn’t necessarily mean “fighting”. It’s not about blaming the other person or proving who’s right and wrong in a given situation. Conflict resolution is about standing up for yourself and communicating when you feel angry or frustrated.
Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. ____35____ You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.”
Drawing upon your sensory toolbox also helps. If you’re a visual person, you can relieve stress by closing your eyes and imagining soothing images. Similarly, if you’re more comforted by smells, keeping an essential oil on hand is a good choice.
One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” ____36____ You’ll feel confident when addressing them.
____37____ While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers.
A. Practise the key points you’d like to get across.
B. Different cultures have diverse ways of handling conflicts.
C. Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives.
D. In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary.
E. Rather than allow conflicts to run wild in your head, try a firmer approach.
F. Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs.
G. Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.
【答案】33. F 34. D 35. G 36. A 37. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了避免冲突并不总是对你有利,阐述人们避免冲突的根源并给出了在面对冲突时如何有效处理的建议。
33. 根据上文“Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work.

(这些倾向中的许多都可以追溯到在一个轻视或过于挑剔的环境中成长。以这种方式应对冲突的人往往预期会有负面结果,并且发现很难相信对方的反应。)”可知,上文解释了人们会选择避免冲突的根源来自成长环境使他们存在负面预期和信任缺失,D选项“In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary. (换句话说,坚定地表达自己的观点似乎相当可怕。)”,进一步解释了人们避免冲突的心理,即害怕表达自己的观点,与上文语意和逻辑一致。故选D项。
35. 根据上文“Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. (在面对某人之前,试着审视自己感受。)”以及下文“You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.” (你可以尝试以下肯定句:‘此刻我有任何感受都是可以的——我的情绪是合理的。’‘我有价值,值得被倾听。’)”可知,上文建议审视自己的感受,下文给出了具体的肯定句来帮助处理情绪,G选项“Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.

36. 根据上文“One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” (在面对某人之前的最后一步是制定计划。明确你想要解决的问题。然后,写下一些固定的、事实性的回答,以便在需要时使用,比如“过去两周我加班工作,而我的同事却没有提交他们那份研究报告。”)”可知,上文建议在面对冲突前要制定计划,并给出了具体的做法,A选项“Practise the key points you’d like to get across. (练习你想表达的关键点。)”,进一步给出了制定计划中的另一个具体做法,即练习要表达的关键点。故选A项。
37. 根据下文“While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers. (虽然永远不与他人对抗也没关系,但能够有效地解决问题意味着要接受这是与他人沟通的一个健康部分。记住,分歧能提供更深的理解,使与我们朋友、伴侣和同事的联系更容易。)”可知,下文强调了冲突在人际关系中的正常性以及处理冲突的重要性,C选项“Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives. (冲突是我们个人生活和职业生活中正常的一部分。)”引出了下文的话题,即冲突的正常性。故选C项。
Passage 4
(24-25高二下·北京朝阳·期末)
Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. ____45____ Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more.
To understand why facial expressivity is so beneficial, we first need to emphasise just how crucial social bonding is to human survival. Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. ____46____ Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. And our research suggests that facial expressivity may fall in this category.
____47____ Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable.
Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. ____48____ And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner.
Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary — leaving people easy to be hurt. ____49____ So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table.
A. However, our work shows that it comes with rewards.
B. Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death.
C. Interestingly, more agreeable people were more facially expressive.
D. For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits.
E. You might guess that people with cheerful expressions are best liked.
F. Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds?
G. Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free.
【答案】45. G 46. B 47. F 48. D 49. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了面部表情在社交互动中的重要性,指出面部表情丰富有助于建立和维持社交关系。
45. 由上文“Sometimes it helps to have a “poker face”, an expression on your face that does not show what you are thinking or feeling. (有时候,拥有一张“扑克脸”是有帮助的,这是一种不会显示出你在想什么或感觉什么的表情。)”及下文“Our research shows that moving your face in some way may help people warm to you more. (我们的研究表明,以某种方式移动你的脸可能有助于人们更加喜欢你。)”可知,这里需要一个句子来转折,引出面部表情丰富的好处。G选项“Yet, in day-to-day life, when socializing, you’d better let your facial features fly free. (然而,在日常生活中,当社交时,你最好让你的面部表情自由展现。)”是对上文“扑克脸”的转折,并引出下文关于面部表情丰富的好处,符合题意。故选G。
46. 由上文“Throughout most of our evolutionary history, our species has relied on tight-knit communities to keep ourselves fed, sheltered, and protected from dangerous outsiders. (在我们进化历史的大部分时间里,我们的物种都依赖紧密的社区来获取食物、庇护和保护自己免受危险的外来者的侵害。)”及下文“Any skill or behaviour that improved someone’s ability to create and maintain lifesaving bonds was likely to exist in our gene pool over the generations. (任何能够提高某人建立和维持救命关系的能力的技能或行为,都有可能在我们的基因库中代代相传。)”可知,本空应强调社交关系对人类生存的重要性。B选项“Managing social relationships was a matter of life or death. (管理社交关系是生死攸关的事情。)”是对上文内容的总结,并引出下文关于社交技能的重要性,符合题意。故选B。
47. 由下文“Imagine meeting someone new and trying to figure out how good a fit they might be as a friend, or a colleague. You might wonder whether you can trust them, and whether you can even begin to understand each other. Someone who is easier to read may seem to be more appealing than someone who is more guarded. Simply put, being facially expressive may give others a sense that they understand you, which they like. This in turn supports the suggestion that the key function of facial expressivity is to make us more predictable. (想象一下,你遇到一个新朋友或同事,试图弄清楚他们是否适合做朋友或同事。你可能会怀疑自己是否能信任他们,甚至是否能开始理解对方。一个更容易读懂的人可能比一个更谨慎的人更有吸引力。简而言之,面部表情丰富可能会让别人觉得他们理解你,这是他们喜欢的。这反过来又支持了这样一种观点,即面部表情的主要功能是使我们更可预测。)”可知,本空应强调面部表情与建立社交的关系。F选项“Why would facial expressivity improve someone’s ability to build social bonds? (为什么面部表情丰富会提高某人建立社交关系的能力?)”是用设问的方式概括本段主题,符合题意。故选F。
48. 由上文“Furthermore, we found that participants’ level of expressivity didn’t change across situations or with different social partners. This finding may leave you wondering why some people remain comparatively inexpressive across situations. (此外,我们发现参与者的表情丰富程度在不同情境或与不同社交伙伴相处时并没有变化。这一发现可能会让你想知道为什么有些人在不同情况下仍然相对缺乏表情。)”及下文“And there could be alternative routes to being an attractive social partner. (而且,成为有吸引力的社交伙伴可能有其他途径。)”可知,本空应解释为什么有些人在不同情况下仍然缺乏表情。D选项“For some, the costs of revealing oneself may outweigh the benefits. (对一些人来说,暴露自己的代价可能超过了好处。)”是对上文问题的解释,并引出下文关于成为有吸引力的社交伙伴的其他途径,符合题意。故选D。
49.由上文“Clearly, regardless of how expressive we tend to be overall, we can also make choices about sharing more of ourselves in certain situations. Being more open and expressive may be scary—leaving people easy to be hurt. (显然,无论我们总体上倾向于多么富有表情,我们也可以选择在某些情况下更多地分享自己。更加开放和表达可能会让人害怕——容易让人受伤。)”及下文“So for now we think it’s best to leave your poker face at the card table. (所以目前我们认为最好还是把扑克脸留在牌桌上。)”可知,本空应转折说明尽管开放表达有风险,但仍有其价值。A选项“However, our work shows that it comes with rewards. (然而,我们的研究表明,它也有回报。)”可知,这里的it指的是上文的“Being more open and expressive”,虽然开放和表达有风险,但也有回报,符合题意。故选A。
Passage 5
(24-25高二下·北京丰台·期末)
When was the last time you felt proud of being sensitive? Most likely the answer is never. ____35____. It’s used to mean you’re fragile thin-skinned or just overreacting. Men are told that they shouldn’t be sensitive at all, whereas women are told not to be “so” sensitive.
Either way, the message sensitive people get isn’t to celebrate who they are. It’s that they should “overcome” their sensitivity and “toughen up”. Putting aside that this approach doesn’t work, it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic (基因的) , and not something you can turn off. ____36____
As a personality trait (特性) , being sensitive means you take in more information from your environment, and you do more with it. Sensitive people are wired at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do. ____37____ You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply, and have a vivid inner life. You probably also get overstimulated in situations that don’t bother anyone else. Sensitive people are wired to go deep. And that depth comes with gifts.
The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity. Many of our greatest thinkers and scientists throughout history have been sensitive people, including Charles Darwin. They tend to spend more time and energy turning problems over in their heads. This process helps them see more possibilities and solutions
____38____ They often become overstimulated. Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep. But sensitive people can learn to largely prevent it — particularly by building time into each day to simply let the mind process and “catch up”. For sensitive people, a little bit of quiet alone time goes a very long way.
If any of this sounds like you, you might be more sensitive than you realize. If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap. ____39____ Instead, embrace (拥抱) it, and show it to the world.
A. However, sensitive people do pay a price.
B. You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are.
C. It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to embrace.
D. A second strength sensitive people have is their decision-making ability.
E. If you’re sensitive, this deep processing changes the way you see the world.
F. We take pride in many traits but being “sensitive” is often viewed as a weakness.
G. Sensitive people naturally attract more social attention due to their emotional expressiveness.
【答案】35. F 36. C 37. E 38. A 39. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出敏感常被视为弱点,实则是遗传且与天赋相关的特质,虽有代价但可应对,呼吁人们拥抱而非隐藏敏感。
35. 前文“When was the last time you felt proud of being sensitive? Most likely the answer is never.( 你上一次为自己的敏感感到骄傲是什么时候?最有可能的答案是从未)”提问“你上一次为敏感感到自豪是什么时候?”并推测答案为“从未”,结合后文“It’s used to mean you’re fragile thin-skinned or just overreacting.( 它的意思是你很脆弱,脸皮薄,或者只是反应过度)”解释“敏感”被视为脆弱、过度反应等。F项“We take pride in many traits but being “sensitive” is often viewed as a weakness.( 我们为许多特质自豪,但“敏感”常被视为弱点)”衔接上下文,解释了“从未自豪”的原因,符合逻辑。故选F项。
36. 前文“Putting aside that this approach doesn’t work, it’s wrongheaded. Sensitivity is largely genetic (基因的) , and not something you can turn off.( 撇开这种方法不起作用不说,这是错误的。敏感性很大程度上是遗传的,不是你可以关闭的东西)”指出“敏感主要是基因决定的,无法关闭”,且批判了“克服敏感”的错误观念。C 项“It is a trait linked to giftedness and something we ought to embrace.( 它与天赋相关,是我们应拥抱的特质)” 承接前文,纠正对敏感的偏见。故选C项。
37. 前文“Sensitive people are wired at a brain level to process information more deeply than others do.( 敏感的人在大脑层面上比其他人更能深入地处理信息)”提到“敏感的人在大脑层面更深入地处理信息”,结合后文“You probably notice what others miss, think, and feel deeply, and have a vivid inner life.( 你可能会注意到别人的想念、思考和感受,并且有一个生动的内心生活)”描述“你可能注意到他人忽略的事物,思考深刻,内心丰富”。E项 “If you’re sensitive, this deep processing changes the way you see the world.( 如果你敏感,这种深度处理会改变你看待世界的方式) 承上启下,说明深度处理与认知方式的关系。故选E项。
38. 上段“The most well-known and celebrated sensitive gift is creativity.( 最广为人知且备受推崇敏锐天赋是创造力)”讲敏感的“天赋”(如创造力),本段后文“They often become overstimulated.Overstimulation is what happens when there is simply too much information for the brain to keep going deep.( 他们经常变得过度刺激。过度刺激是指大脑接收了太多的信息,无法继续深入思考)”转折提到“他们常过度刺激导致无法思考”,说明敏感也有代价。A项“然而,敏感的人确实付出代价”符合语境。故选A项。
39. 前文“If so, you have probably felt the pressure to hide it. But that’s a trap.( 如果是这样,你可能已经感受到了隐藏它的压力。但这是个陷阱)”提到“隐藏敏感是陷阱”,结合后文“Instead, embrace (拥抱) it, and show it to the world.( 相反,拥抱它,向世界展示它)”呼吁“拥抱它,展示给世界”。B项“You cannot make yourself less sensitive than you are.( 你无法让自己变得不那么敏感)”呼应前文“敏感是基因决定的”,并引出“拥抱”的结论,逻辑连贯。故选B项。

Passage 8
(24-25高二下·北京大兴·期末)
In our daily lives, we interact with a variety of people, such as family members, friends, classmates, and colleagues. ____35____ These conflicts, if not properly addressed, can lead to stress, hurt feelings, and damaged relationships. However, by learning some effective strategies, we can turn these conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and stronger connections.
Identify the Root Cause
The first step in resolving a conflict is to figure out what’s really going on. ____36____ For example, if you and your friend are arguing about which movie to watch, the underlying issue might not be about the movie at all. It could be that one of you feels like your opinions are never listened to in the friendship. Try to have an open-minded conversation to uncover these hidden issues. Listen to the other person’s perspective without interrupting and ask clarifying questions to fully understand their point of view.
Control Your Emotions
Emotions can run high during a conflict. It’s easy to get angry, defensive, or upset. When you’re angry, you might say or do things that you’ll regret later. Take a few deep breaths before responding. If possible, take a short break from the conversation to calm down. You can also try techniques like counting to ten or repeating a calming phrase in your mind Remember, the goal is to resolve the conflict, not to win an argument. ____37____
Practice Active Listening
Active listening is crucial in conflict resolution. This means fully focusing or what the other person is saying. Maintain eye contact, nod to show you’re listening, and give verbal cues like “I see” or “Go on.” Avoid interrupting the other person. After they’ve finished speaking, summarize what they’ve said to make sure you understand correctly. ____38____ For instance, you could say, “So, what you’re saying is that you feel we should have made this decision together, right?”
Seek a Win-Win Solution
Rather than trying to prove that you’re right and the other person is wrong look for a solution that satisfies both parties. ____39____ Brainstorm different options together. Maybe you can combine elements of both of your ideas or come up with a completely new solution. For example, if two roommates are arguing about how to decorate their shared living space, they could each choose one area of the room to decorate according to their own style. This way, both roommates get to have a say and feel satisfied with the outcome.
A. Most conflicts are not as simple as they first appear.
B. But sometimes, conflicts occur in these relationships.
C. Focus on finding common ground and shared interests.
D. Conflicts may cause serious results if they are not solved properly.
E. Understanding each other’s positions is the key to solving conflicts.
F. This not only shows that you respect their opinion but also helps to clarify any misunderstandings.
G. By keeping your emotions in check, you’ll communicate more effectively and find a solution that works for both parties.
