Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川省德阳市·期末)
Taking notes and keeping them organized is an important part of schooling and the work worlds. You’ ll need organized notes for studying, writing essays and your assignments. Keeping them organized will not only help you with these tasks, but it will also help you remember your material easily. 1 . In this passage, you will learn how to take notes and effectively organize them.
Mix different styles of note-taking. There are lots of different ways of recording information. You can use one style or a mix of a few. Handwritten notes work best for classes that have to do with numbers, equations, and formulas. You can also collect any lecture notes and power-point slides that your instructor makes available. 2 .
Store your notes in one place. If you’ re storing your notes all over the place, it’s going to be very difficult to organize them for exams and essays when the time comes.Don’t just write your notes down in whatever notebook you happen to have nearby or you’ re never going to find those notes again. 3 . You don’t want to mix up your physics notes with your maths notes!
Have separate folders for each class. If you keep all your notes on your computer,make sure that even there you have separate spaces for your notes. 4 For example, you might have a folder for your research paper, a folder for your information about previous field studies.
5 . You don’ t want to have to keep trying to figure out how and where you record certain information. This will make your organization more difficult in the long run. If you keep to one way of recording notes and specific places for each class,you’ ll be much more prepared than otherwise.
A.Stay consistent.
B.Take clear and concise notes.
C.You can separate your notes by subject.
D.These can be valuable notes for essays and exams.
E.Therefore, using effective note-taking tools is of great help.
F.You don’t want to back through and dig through your computer files.
G.However, the challenge lies in developing a system that works for you.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末)
In the age of constant connectivity through music, podcasts and calls, earphones have seemed to become a necessity. 1 This article will help you reduce the risk of ear-related issues and ensure a comfortable listening experience.
Choose the right type of earphones. In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels. 2 Besides, on-ear or over-ear headphones can be more comfortable for some individuals who have sensitive ear canals.
3 To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time. It’s suggested that you should use built-in features on your device to track your listening time, which can be helpful in sticking to a safe limit.
Adjust the earphones properly. When fitting the earphones, adjust the earphone position until you find a comfortable and secure fit that provides good sound quality without causing pain. Remember to periodically check and readjust the earphones as needed, especially during physical activities or long listening periods. 4
Keep your ears clean. Regularly cleaning your ears is essential when it comes to pain-free listening with earphones. The build-up of earwax (耳垢) can not only affect the sound quality but also lead to discomfort and potential damage to the ear canal if left unattended. To prevent this, make sure to gently clean your ears with cotton sticks regularly. 5 That will push wax deeper and potentially cause damage.
A.Limit listening time.
B.Take regular listening breaks.
C.Clean your earphones with a soft cloth regularly.
D.Avoid putting the sticks too deep into the ear canal.
E.Finding the right fit ensures a pain-free experience.
F.This design prevents the earphones dropping out as well.
G.Enjoyable as they are, improper use of earphones can cause discomfort.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川广安市·期末)
I always admired my grandmother Jenny’s gardening skills. But it wasn’t until a sunny afternoon in her backyard that I became interested in gardening myself. We were there to grow tomatoes. She handed me a tiny seedling (幼苗) and shared stories of her own grandmother doing the same. It’s a family tradition!
Over time, the tiny seedling had grown into a large tomato plant with many juicy red tomatoes. 1 We spent hours in her kitchen making delicious homemade sauce out of them. Just the smell alone brought back so many memories.
My time in the garden with my grandma showed me that gardening is more than just a hobby. 2 The garden became something we both loved, bringing us closer together and creating a strong bond.
If the garden is your favorite place, consider inviting other family members to join you in the dirt. It’s a great way of bonding with people. 3 It has its tough moments, but the good thing is that every setback teaches us to be strong.
Gardening is my personal therapist (治疗师). 4 Gardening has taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of life’s cycles. It’s given me a sense of purpose and the joy of caring for something from seed to flower. In the garden, I’ve found comfort during difficult times and celebration during moments of success.
5 It offers a break from city life. It is a chance to grow as a gardener and person. And it brings the joy of watching life grow well under your care
A.I find joy and peace in it.
B.It’s a way to connect with our roots.
C.The benefits of gardening are varied.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川省广安市广安区等3地·期末)
Meliorism (向善主义) is rooted in the idea that human effort can make a meaningful difference, improving the world through intentional acts of love, creativity and compassion(同情). It stands as a light of hope and purpose. The word “meliorism” comes from the Latin word “melior”, which means “better”. Pessimism (悲观主义) sees the world as beyond help. 1 . To integrate this mindset(观念) of actionable kindness into your life, you can start with small, manageable actions including the following:
Acts of kindness
Meliorism emphasizes that even the smallest actions can lead to great changes. They involve simple gestures like smiling at a stranger or helping a neighbor. 1 . These acts can increase positive emotions and reduce stress by promoting the release of hormones (荷尔蒙), which increases feelings of wellbeing.
2
Use your skills and passions to contribute to something bigger. This could involve creating art that inspires, writing to advocate for change, or developing community projects. Engaging in creative activities not only contributes to societal improvement but also strengthens your own sense of purpose and satisfaction.
Compassion and understanding
Engaging in conversations that promote understanding is important. 1 . Doing it in ways that build bridges rather than walls can create a more compassionate society. Acts of kindness and understanding are essential in building strong, supportive communities and developing positive relationships.
By adopting a viewpoint based on meliorism, you can hold the belief that your efforts, no matter how small, are valuable and capable of creating positive change. 2 .
A.Creative projects
B.Power of positive change
C.Listen to others’ stories and share your own
D.By contrast, meliorism advocates for active engagement

Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市校校联考·期末)
When you are hungry, how will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? 1 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, or “Why can’t I think?”
2 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
When you read a book, of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 3 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. 4 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 5 Go and get a book!
A.The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
B.Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C.Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
D.Now what are you waiting for?
E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.
G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川省成都东部新区养马高级中学·期末)
Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (有体育精神的人) respect their teammates and also their opponents. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games. 1 They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.
Kids usually learn sportsmanship good and bad from the adults in their lives. 2 If parents and coaches show disrespect for other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.
3 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.
Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life. 4 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.
So be a good sport in whatever you do! 5 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fum, getting exercise, and improving your skills!
A.Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.
B.However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.
C.Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.
D.We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.
E.Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.
F.If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.
G.The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

Starting practicing yoga, you feel a mixture of enthusiasm and curiosity. That’s a desire to discover a technique that promises you a better future. 1 Here are some tips that will help you maintain a regular practice.
Find the yoga that suits you. Hatha yoga is yoga that uses the body as a tool for transformation. 2 You may prefer dynamic yoga such as Ashtanga Vinyasa, technical yoga such as Iyengar, yoga with a calmer approach to movement such as Yin, or other methods. Explore them all. Don’t hesitate to experiment and find the yoga that suits you best.
3 Trusting these age-old techniques is essential if you are to stay on the path to transformation. They have been around for thousands of years and are proof of the seriousness of this process. In fact, yoga is an art that requires techniques that you can learn with complete confidence.
At your own pace. It’s important to attend classes to learn the techniques with a teacher, but it’s also a good idea to practice at home as well. The best practice is the one you do while rolling out the mat, however long it lasts. 4
Take a creative approach. 5 But it’s also important to vary your interactions with other media, such as online courses with videos made by other yoga teachers, listening to podcasts, taking part in workshops and lighting candles. This may keep things fresh, allowing you to stay motivated longer.
A.It includes several types of yoga.
B.Have confidence in the techniques.
C.Even five minutes is incredibly beneficial.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川南充市·期末)
Without feedback, we are cut off. We behave in a way that we think is right while remaining ignorant. There is positive feedback and negative feedback. Negative feedback can be hard to handle. When it is poorly delivered, it is unhelpful. 1 Below are some useful tips to help us give negative feedback.
Deliver feedback carefully and respectfully. If given too frequently and without regard to feeling, the person on the other end will go back to defense mode — possibly losing confidence, self-esteem, and motivation. 2
Avoid wrapping negative feedback in praise. The feedback sandwich — “praise, criticism, praise”, while popular, may not always be appropriate. The standard can give a false view of how someone is performing. 3 Therefore, this standard might suggest that the performance was successful.
4 Either positive or negative feedback can be constructive, as long as it encourages growth. On the other hand, critical feedback serves little purpose other than to tell someone they are not good. We must, therefore, begin by considering the goal of feedback: improvement. The receiver should be clear about what has gone well and what needs to be progressed.
Negative feedback must be handled carefully. 5 If encouraged to play to their strengths, the person receiving the feedback may possibly find a more effective way of resolving difficulties.
A.Pay attention to feedback’s true goal.
B.Learn to view positive feedback properly.
C.Two positive comments outweigh one negative comment.
D.The key is to focus on solutions and strengths, not just problems.
E.Giving feedback requires a certain amount of communication skills.
F.Therefore, we’d better deliver feedback with both caution and respect.
G.However, if appropriate, negative feedback can be a positive experience.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川泸州市·期末)
Steve Jobs died at age 56 on October 5, 2011. Although about 14 years passed, his best creativity advice is never out of season. 1 .
As Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.” As defined by Steve Jobs, one of the most creative activities we can do is to look for connections. Linking things together is a most creative venture. 2 ; but, equally important, it trains us to look for similarities that are not always apparent or obvious.
3 . As a result, it becomes more difficult to discover creative possibilities because our mind is trapped in familiar ways of thinking (often, the result of how we were educated). 4 : Ask a friend or colleague to give you a completely random set of eight words—words that come from diverse fields and have no apparent connection. Or, go through a newspaper or magazine and randomly point to eight separate words. Then, divide the words into as many different categories as you can (each category must have a minimum of two items) within a two-minute time frame.
For example, I recently asked my wife to give me eight random words. Here’s what she shared: valance, trip, book, snow, sheets, rug, tired, painting. 5 :
● things in the living room (valance, book, rug, painting)
● things with the letter “e” (valance, sheets, tired)
● white things (snow, sheets, painting)
● things humans do (trip, tired)
● things viewed vertically (valance, book, painting)
● things viewed horizontally (valance, sheets, rug)
● things manufactured in a foreign country (sheets, rug)
● things that go in a washing machine (sheets, rug)
A.Here’s one way to break free
B.It creates connections in our brain
C.Here are just a few categories I came up with
D.As thinkers, we frequently get locked into old habits
E.There are category training ways to learn various words
F.In fact, his insights into creativity continue to shine brightly
G.Of course, we can take this idea one step further in other ways
Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市·期末)
Writing flow refers to the smooth and logical progression of ideas within a piece of writing. 1 Poor writing flow can confuse readers and make your message unclear. One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性).
One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. 2 Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”.
3 Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them.
Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. 4
In summary, consistency is achieved through careful attention to tense and pronoun usage, and by avoiding sudden and confusing changes in perspective. 5 In this way, you can make the reading experience enjoyable and help the audience grasp the intended message more easily.
A.It helps guide the reader effortlessly.
B.Similarly, pay close attention to pronoun consistency.
C.Stick to it unless there’s a reasonable reason to change.
D.Effective writing isn’t just about getting your ideas down.
E.If a change is necessary, use specific techniques to signal the change.
F.Mastering these skills can help ensure your writing is clear and engaging.
G.Improving your writing flow is not a one-time achievement but a journey.
Passage 4
(24-25学年高二下四川眉山市·期末)
We often set ambitious goals like going to the gym or reducing social media use. 1 Our habits play a crucial role in behavior change. We can adopt some practical strategies to build good habits and break bad ones.
2 Actually, the period for habit formation varies, depending on individuals and the specific habit itself. For instance, building a gym habit typically takes months, while hospital staff can develop a handwashing habit in just weeks. The key lies in perseverance, regardless of the time it takes.
Make rewards our aid. Our brains learn to repeat pleasurable behaviors. Studies show that people who find drinking water rewarding are more likely to keep the habit. External rewards, like listening to some relaxing light music after a workout, can strengthen habits. 3
Stack our habits. Our brains naturally combine actions. A strategy called habit stacking involves linking a desired behavior to something we already do. For example, People who give themselves a short facial massage right after brushing teeth tend to maintain the new habit. The existing habit serves as a reminder, making the new one feel like a natural part of our routine. 4 Over time, these paired actions will become lasting habits.
Plan for weak moments. 5 But there will be times when motivation is low. Preparing for these situations is essential. It’s powerful to have “if-then” plans, such as”If I find myself reaching for some junk food when stressed, then I will take a five-minute walk instead. “ This approach helps to stop bad habits from taking over.
A.Forget the 21-day myth.
B.Develop habits within 21 days.
C.However, turning them into reality can be challenging.
D.We’re always full of enthusiasm when setting new goals.
E.They can also help us replace negative habits with positive activities.
F.So if we aim to start practicing yoga, make it a follow-up to our morning coffee.
G.We could fall back into old habits—even the ones we thought we had moved past.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川遂宁市·期末)
In today’s fast-paced world, effective time-management is essential for a balanced life. However, a widespread misunderstanding is that managing time means squeezing (挤压) in as many tasks as possible. The truth is that intelligent time-management allows you to make the most of your time without constantly feeling overwhelmed. Then, how can you make it?
Set clear and achievable schedules. This is the basis of efficient time-management. 1 By creating detailed plans, you can assign time precisely to tasks and track progress. A well-organized schedule also provides a sense of control and direction, avoiding time-wasting.
2 Smart time-management doesn’t mean you have to handle everything alone. Cooperate with others to share workloads when you’re overwhelmed and ask for advice from supervisors, mentors, or experts in relevant fields.
Practice the art of prioritization. Figuring out what’s truly important is key to smart time-management. 3 For instance, you can rank your tasks according to their importance, the degree of difficulty or deadlines, and tackle the most crucial ones first.
Put regular breaks into your routine. Short breaks enhance concentration and prevent burnout. 4 Activities like light exercise or a quick walk during breaks benefit your both mental and physical well-being, thus enhancing your overall productivity.
Embrace flexibility. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and your time-management plans shouldn’t be changeless. 5
A.Seek assistance when necessary.
B.Spend less time on less important matters.
C.You need to adjust schedules and strategies accordingly.
D.Break down your long-term goals into daily or weekly tasks.

(24-25学年高二下四川雅安市·期末)
When it comes to warm-weather activities good for your health, you probably think of walking, hiking or running. 1 . Even if you’re not the best at gardening, there are many health benefits — both physical and mental.
The health benefits of gardening cover a wide range. First of all, you get outside, breathing in that fresh air. 2 . Getting regular and safe exposure to sunlight a few times a week is important in providing your body with the essential vitamins that keep your bones strong and help your body absorb calcium (钙).
Everyone knows exercise is good for you, but gardening strikes a perfect balance, particularly for those most at risk for osteoporosis (骨质疏松). 3 , and it’s also easy for people of all ages. When you’re gardening, you do get that stimulation through weight-bearing exercise like walking and using your gardening tools.
4 . As well as the boost to your mood from being outdoors in the fresh air, there’s a sense of satisfaction you get as you see your plantings grow. Gardening brings about a sense of satisfaction and mindfulness in that you see the progress and feel that sense of accomplishment.
Gardening also provides social interaction, whether you’re in your yard or a community garden. 5 . The minute you get out of your yard, you’re likely to see your neighbors or others and have a chance to interact.
A.It helps strengthen your bones
B.But there’s another beloved pastime-gardening
C.Gardening is a good way to associate with others

Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川绵阳市·期末)
Most of us have been there: Families can be very difficult; family problems are very painful. 1 There are ways to solve family problems and restore relationships.
Call a family council.
Appealing to the family together to solve the problem helps you gather collective intelligence to find a sensible solution. 2 For instance, perhaps the problem involves a job loss, disability or money problems.
Avoid blaming each other.
3 Don’t use language that puts criticism on family members or that feels negative. Keep your words positive and respectful when you talk to them, while avoiding judgments or name calling of the family member.
Write to the family member.
A heartfelt letter can go a long way because it invites you both into an exchange, where you should express yourselves fully-describing your feelings and why you want to address the issue. 4 Explain how the problem is affecting you, but also detail how you’d like the problem to be resolved and why.
5
Try to think out a solution that both sides can feel okay about, even if neither gets exactly what he or she wants. One technique is for both to draw two circles, one of which contains everything you’re reluctant to give in on. Write down the areas where you are willing to bend in the other one.
A.Try to reach an agreement.
B.Think twice before jumping in.
C.Your solution itself makes sense.
D.Use “I” more than “you” while writing.
E.Get rid of the need to win the argument.
F.How you deal with them makes a big difference.
G.The method works if the problem affects the entire family.

If you’re trying to make yourself smarter, you’re not alone! 1 Research is still being developed, but basic strategies to make yourself smarter are easy to access. Doing easy activities can help improve how your brain works.
Add aerobic exercise to your daily routine. Studies show that regular aerobic workouts can lead to the growth of new neurons. Exercise also stimulates the hippocampus, the part of the brain linked to learning and memory. Additionally it improves blood circulation in the brain. 2 To get these benefits, most experts suggest that adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise each week.
3 When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain doesn’t work properly, similar to being drunk. Needless to say, this significantly harms your brain function. Getting enough sleep is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your brain power.
Develop a meditation practice. Studies show that people who meditate regularly have larger brains with more gray matter than those who don’t. 4 Additionally, people who meditate are better at handling stress.
Include plenty of brain-rich nutrients in your diet. Omega-3 essential fatty acids are vital to healthy brain functions, while higher levels of vitamin E are correlated with slower cognitive decline in the aging brain. 5 Consider adding a handful of walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds to your daily diet.
A.Sleep early and rise early.
B.Get at least 8. hours of sleep per night.
C.Try to avoid simple sugars in foods like cakes.
D.Nuts and seeds are a good source of vitamin
E.Many people are learning ways to boost their brain power.
F.This helps deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste.
G.Meditation also helps prevent the loss of important brain connections.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川广安市·期末)
Green Roofs: Breathing Life into Concrete Jungles
Imagine concrete jungles turning into living landscapes. Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. 1 Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems.Natural Cooling Systems
The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. 2 The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the “urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation.Stormwater Managers
Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. 3 Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区)
These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. 4 . Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs.
5 From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature.
A.These habitats play a key role in urban ecology
B.Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively
C.Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits

Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川资阳市·期末)
I feel guilty every time I receive a new package on my doorstep. I know that buying more new things isn’t good for the planet — the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. 1
Actually, the desire to keep buying things isn’t just a personal imperfection — it’s actually part of how our brains evolved.
Long ago, our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things, like moving toward food or backing away from dangers. 1 They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine (多巴胺), a feel-good chemical, whenever we do something good. Over time, we learn to repeat the actions that give us good feelings.
2 When we get an unexpected reward, our brains release even more dopamine. That’s why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping.
Over time, though, the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades. The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action. That’s why we’re constantly drawn to new things. 3
So, how do we break the cycle? The solution isn’t to stop buying things completely. Instead, we can replace the old rewards with new rewards. Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack, we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet. 4 You still get something that is new to you, and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward, but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth.
A.Our brains love surprises.
B.Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice.
C.Our brains long for that original unexpected joy.
D.Today, our brains still work that way, but they’re more complex.
E.However, all humans are different, and our brains work differently.
F.Still, every time I make a purchase, I get a small burst of joy that’s hard to resist.
G.Creating social rewards can also encourage more people to change their behavior.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市第十二中学·期末)
Earlier this month, OpenAI revealed a new version in training mode that is “good at creative writing.” Though its release date is unclear, as a longtime freshman composition instructor, I’m already aware of the problem of A.I.-assisted cheating in writing classes. 1 After all, students have been unvoluntarily exposed to an overwhelming amount of promotion around A.I., and have seen news that makes false claims about how powerful A.I. tools are.
But a creative writing student using A.I.? In a memoir (传记) writing class? What are you saying about your life if even you can’t be bothered to think about it.
Having written two memoirs, I know the challenges and pleasures of this work, and I want my students to experience those challenges, too. 1 Rather, it is about defining who you are, in part by revisiting particularly unpleasant experiences. This process makes the author more fully alive.
2 Using a machine that gathers information online and creates a fake version of you is not just cheating; it degrades our memories and humanity. Yet it’s not the students who concern me most, but a culture that undervalues writing and reading so much that some students think skipping them is a reasonable choice.
The only thing under my control as a teacher is what I do in my classroom. 3 Whether they write best-sellers or just scribble in journals, doing the work with their full selves is what truly matters.
Writing can be a way to preserve ourselves and even a form of resistance. 4
A.I’ll teach students to write honestly.
B.I can even sympathize, to an extent.
C.This may feel like a battle already lost.
D.Outsourcing your life story to AI is disheartening.
E.The act of writing a memoir is not just about saying “Look at me”.
F.That fighting spirit is our greatest strength and exists only within us.
G.It is upsetting to see AI creating fake stories, but maybe it’s just new storytelling.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川广元市·期末)
The Power of Small Habits
Many people believe that success requires grand actions, but researches show that small daily habits are the true foundation of big achievements. 1 . Give it a shot and you’ll be amazed at their effectiveness.
Believing in Small Steps Lead to Big Changes
Imagine intending to read at least ten books a year. This is what seems a tough goal in a world where you’re sometimes constantly interrupted. Here comes the solution. Reading just 10 pages every morning adds up to 3,650 pages, which is annually-equivalent to 12–15 books. 2 . Using the Domino Effect
The Domino Effect refers to a chain reaction in which a single event triggers (触发) a sequence of related events. It is true with your habits. When you regularly start making your bed or having your breakfast each morning, this small achievement creates psychological inspiration. 3 . Each completed habit becomes a stepping stone for the next. 4 .
Big goals often make people feel stressful. However, breaking them into 5-minute daily practices makes them achievable. Want to exercise more? Begin with 5-minute home workouts. These “micro-actions” avoid procrastination (拖延症) because they require the least willpower, thus gradually increasing the duration as the habit forms.
Making Progress Witnessed
5 . A simple checklist or progress chart does the trick. You will improve your vocabulary by marking a calendar each day you learn 3 new words. Within 100 days, your notebook will become a powerful reminder showing 300 mastered words, which makes your progress visible to yourself.
In short, the power of small habits is really beyond your imagination. By focusing on the small habits mentioned above, you can transform your life gradually yet profoundly.
A.Setting clear goals
B.Track progress visually
C.Overcoming procrastination
D.This demonstrates how rapidly you’ll make a change
E.The following measures will do you a favor if adopted properly
F.It is a living example that tiny efforts, when repeated, lead to big results
G.Little by little, you might find yourself naturally living and eating more healthily
主题 04 人与自我 —— 做人与做事
Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市蓉城名校联考·期末)
Almost everyone procrastinates (拖延). Whether it’s avoiding an assignment, delaying house chores、or putting off a visit to the dentist, we’ve all been there. The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt、stress, and missed opportunities. 1
·Begin with bite-sized tasks.
One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. 1 When you break a task into smaller steps, it becomes much easier. For example, if you’re avoiding cleaning your room, don’t aim to finish it in one day. Instead, focus on sorting just one corner or organizing a single shelf.
· 2
We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly.
·Use rewards to stay motivated.
1 One way to encourage yourself to tackle uncomfortable tasks is by using rewards. Pair an unpleasant task with a desirable activity, or promise yourself a treat once the task is done. This method transforms the task into a stepping stone to something you enjoy.
·Apply the two-minute rule.
The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. 1 For example, if you need to send a quick email, respond to a text, or wash a few dishes, handle it immediately. These small actions might seem insignificant, but they can create momentum (动力) towards larger tasks.
A.Tackle your toughest task first.
B.Focus on the most challenging task.
C.It helps stop small tasks from piling up.
D.The trick is to begin with something simple.
E.A little external push is sometimes what we need.
F.Below are some strategies to help you conquer procrastination.
G.Undoubtedly, these negative feelings will cause your procrastination.
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川乐山市·期末)
Funny praises to Brighten Someone’s Day
Giving praises can be more than just saying “You’re great.” A well-crafted funny remark can spark joy while showing genuine care. 1 —here’s how to master this art creatively! For friends, highlight your shared experiences. For example, “You’re the only person I’d never want to argue with” works perfectly. Adding inside jokes like “Remember when you ate three burgers? That’s the confidence I admire!” also strengthens your bond. For children, combine imagination with easy-to-understand humor. Imagine telling a child, “I bet puppies show pictures of you to their friends!” This playful comparison uses fantasy to make them feel special. 2 .
When addressing coworkers, balance humor with professionalism. 3 . A comment like “Work feels 10% less chaotic (混乱) when you’re around” acknowledges their contribution and lightens their mood without crossing boundaries.
4 Focus on their style or actions, like “If you were a superhero, your power would be shining bright.” or “Your scarf looks like it was designed by a fairy!” Such remarks feel safe yet uplifting for the people you met for the first time. Avoid overly personal remarks to keep it comfortable. Never mention sensitive topics like age or weight.
5 Instead of unclear praise like “You’re pretty,” say “Your determination inspires me.” Authenticity (真实) matters more than wit—people sense when your words come from the heart.
A.In offices, keep jokes respectful and work-related.
B.Sincerity forms the foundation of any effective praise.
C.What people look like should always be the primary focus.
D.The key lies in appropriate humor to different relationships.
E.With strangers, prioritize light-hearted and non-invasive topics.
F.Avoid complex expressions to ensure they grasp your warmth easily.
G.It’s always improper to praise people in the form of making fun of them.
Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川凉山州·期末)
If you hate Mondays, you’re certainly not alone. After two days off, many of us struggle to settle back into our routines and work duties. 1
Even though the weekend is enjoyable, our brain has to adjust to the sudden change in routine. Research indicates that routines can improve our sense of coherence (连贯性). 2 When we have established routines, whether it’s a five-day workweek with two days off or a set of daily actions, our lives become more meaningful. Keeping a regular routine helps our brain adapt to the week and reduce our anxiety.
Adjusting to the post-weekend change can be challenging, especially when we return to less pleasant activities like a to-do list on Monday morning. The good news is that the brain does not need to make too much effort to do that. One effective way to ease back into the week is to introduce routines that last the whole week and add meaning to our life. 3 These routines can make the transition (过渡) from weekend to weekday smoother and help your brain adapt to the change.
Another important routine to establish is your sleep routine. Changes in sleep patterns during weekends can lead to social jetlag (时差综合症). For example, sleeping in later and longer on free days creates a conflict between your body clock and your social responsibilities. 4 So, try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, such as turning off digital devices and practicing relaxation techniques before sleep.
5 Always believe that small changes can lead to big differences in how you feel about Mondays.
A.It may have something to do with your sleep pattern.
B.This can result in increased stress on Monday mornings.
C.And they can help us make sense of our life’s events naturally.
D.Here are some ways to reset your brain to feel good on Mondays.
E.You can change your schedules to make Mondays more appealing.
F.Hope the above strategies can make your Mondays more enjoyable and less stressful.
G.Activities like watching TV, exercising or gardening can be fixed at the same time daily.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州·期末)
In the age of constant connectivity through music, podcasts and calls, earphones have seemed to become a necessity. 1 This article will help you reduce the risk of ear-related issues and ensure a comfortable listening experience.
Choose the right type of earphones. In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels. 2 Besides, on-ear or over-ear headphones can be more comfortable for some individuals who have sensitive ear canals.
3 To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time. It’s suggested that you should use built-in features on your device to track your listening time, which can be helpful in sticking to a safe limit.
Adjust the earphones properly. When fitting the earphones, adjust the earphone position until you find a comfortable and secure fit that provides good sound quality without causing pain. Remember to periodically check and readjust the earphones as needed, especially during physical activities or long listening periods. 4
Keep your ears clean. Regularly cleaning your ears is essential when it comes to pain-free listening with earphones. The build-up of earwax (耳垢) can not only affect the sound quality but also lead to discomfort and potential damage to the ear canal if left unattended. To prevent this, make sure to gently clean your ears with cotton sticks regularly. 5 That will push wax deeper and potentially cause damage.
A.Limit listening time.
B.Take regular listening breaks.
C.Clean your earphones with a soft cloth regularly.
D.Avoid putting the sticks too deep into the ear canal.
E.Finding the right fit ensures a pain-free experience.
F.This design prevents the earphones dropping out as well.
G.Enjoyable as they are, improper use of earphones can cause discomfort.
【答案】1.G 2.F 3.A 4.E 5.D

2.上文“In-ear headphones are a popular choice as they fit perfectly into the ear canal (耳道), blocking out outside noise and reducing the need to increase volume levels.(入耳式耳机是一个受欢迎的选择,因为它们能完美地贴合耳道,阻挡外界噪音,并减少调高音量的需求)”说明入耳式耳机的优点。空处和前文为并列关系,进一步说明入耳式耳机的优点。所以F项“这种设计也能防止耳机掉落。”符合语境,继续阐述了入耳式耳机设计上的好处。故选 F。
3.下文“To prevent ear pain and potential hearing damage, experts recommend sticking to the 60/60 rule, which suggests listening at 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time. It’s suggested that you should use built-in features on your device to track your listening time, which can be helpful in sticking to a safe limit.(为了防止耳朵疼痛和潜在的听力损伤,专家建议遵循“60/60原则”,即每次以60%的音量听不超过60分钟。建议你使用设备上的内置功能来跟踪你的聆听时间,这有助于坚持在安全的限度内)”说明要控制聆听时间。所以A项“限制聆听时间。”符合语境,作为小标题概括了段落内容。故选A。
4.上文“When fitting the earphones, adjust the earphone position until you find a comfortable and secure fit that provides good sound quality without causing pain. Remember to periodically check and readjust the earphones as needed, especially during physical activities or long listening periods.(佩戴耳机时,调整耳机位置,直到找到一个舒适且稳固的佩戴方式,既能提供良好的音质又不会引起疼痛。记得根据需要定期检查和重新调整耳机,尤其是在进行体育活动或长时间聆听期间)”说明正确调整耳机位置的重要性。空处和前文为因果关系,说明正确调整耳机位置的结果。所以E项“找到合适的佩戴方式可确保无疼痛的体验。”符合语境,总结了上文调整耳机位置的作用。故选E。
5.上文“To prevent this, make sure to gently clean your ears with cotton sticks regularly.(为了防止这种情况,一定要定期用棉签轻柔地清洁耳朵)”说明要用棉签清洁耳朵。空处和前文为顺接关系,下文“That will push wax deeper and potentially cause damage.(那会将耳垢推得更深,并有可能造成损伤)”说明不能做的事情。所以D项“避免将棉签插入耳道过深。”符合语境,起到承上启下的作用,指出了清洁耳朵时的注意事项。故选 D。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川省广安市广安区等3地·期末)
Meliorism (向善主义) is rooted in the idea that human effort can make a meaningful difference, improving the world through intentional acts of love, creativity and compassion(同情). It stands as a light of hope and purpose. The word “meliorism” comes from the Latin word “melior”, which means “better”. Pessimism (悲观主义) sees the world as beyond help. 1 . To integrate this mindset(观念) of actionable kindness into your life, you can start with small, manageable actions including the following:
Acts of kindness
Meliorism emphasizes that even the smallest actions can lead to great changes. They involve simple gestures like smiling at a stranger or helping a neighbor. 1 . These acts can increase positive emotions and reduce stress by promoting the release of hormones (荷尔蒙), which increases feelings of wellbeing.
2
Use your skills and passions to contribute to something bigger. This could involve creating art that inspires, writing to advocate for change, or developing community projects. Engaging in creative activities not only contributes to societal improvement but also strengthens your own sense of purpose and satisfaction.
Compassion and understanding
Engaging in conversations that promote understanding is important. 1 . Doing it in ways that build bridges rather than walls can create a more compassionate society. Acts of kindness and understanding are essential in building strong, supportive communities and developing positive relationships.
By adopting a viewpoint based on meliorism, you can hold the belief that your efforts, no matter how small, are valuable and capable of creating positive change. 2 .
A.Creative projects
B.Power of positive change
C.Listen to others’ stories and share your own
D.By contrast, meliorism advocates for active engagement
E.They can also be practice like volunteering for a local cause
F.Meliorism should provide a framework for finding purpose and hope
G.This mindset not only improves the world around you but can also enrich your own life
【答案】1.D 2.E 3.A 4.C 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出向善主义能让世界变得更美好。
1.根据前文“Pessimism sees the world as beyond help.(悲观主义者认为这个世界是不可挽救的)”可知,此处需通过对比引出向善主义。D选项“相比之下,向善主义提倡积极参与”符合语境。故选D。
2.根据小标题“Acts of kindness(善举)”和前文“They involve simple gestures like smiling at a stranger or helping a neighbor.(它们包括简单的手势,比如对陌生人微笑或帮助邻居)”可知,此处进一步举出acts of kindness的例子。E选项“它们也可以是像为当地事业做志愿者这样的实践”符合语境。故选E。
3.本空为段落小标题。根据第一段的“To integrate this mindset(观念) of actionable kindness into your life, you can start with small, manageable actions including the following(为了将这种可付诸行动的善良心态融入到你的生活中,你可以从以下这些易于管理的小行动开始)”可知,第二、三、四段分别讲述acts of love、creativity和compassion。所以此处与creativity相关。根据本段内容,尤其是“This could involve creating art that inspires, writing to advocate for change, or developing community projects.(这可能包括创作启发性的艺术,写作倡导变革,或开发社区项目)”可知,A选项“创意项目”符合题意,故选A。
4.根据前文“Engaging in conversations that promote understanding is important.(参与能够促进理解的对话很重要)”可知,此处指出具体做法。C选项“倾听他人的故事,分享自己的故事”与前文的“Engaging in conversations”相关联,该项符合语境。故选C。
5.根据前文“By adopting a viewpoint based on meliorism, you can hold the belief that your efforts, no matter how small, are valuable and capable of creating positive change.(通过采用基于改善主义的观点,你可以相信你的努力,无论多么小,都是有价值的,能够创造积极的变化)”可知,此处说明拥有这一信念的好处。G项“这种心态不仅能改善你周围的世界,还能丰富你的生活”符合语境。This mindset与前文的the belief相关联。故选G。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川省眉山市校校联考·期末)
When you are hungry, how will you respond? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? 1 But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity sets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, or “Why can’t I think?”
2 Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
When you read a book, of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. 3 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. 4 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

【答案】1.C 2.E 3.A 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要阐述了思维也会像肚子一样“饥饿”,而通过广泛阅读可以解决思维饥饿的问题,还能激发创造力、丰富词汇量等。

Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?(当你饿的时候,你会如何应对?吃你最喜欢的食物然后安静下来吗?)”以及下文“But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川省成都东部新区养马高级中学·期末)
Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (有体育精神的人) respect their teammates and also their opponents. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games. 1 They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.
Kids usually learn sportsmanship good and bad from the adults in their lives. 2 If parents and coaches show disrespect for other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.
3 Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.
Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life. 4 Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.
So be a good sport in whatever you do! 5 When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fum, getting exercise, and improving your skills!
A.Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.
B.However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.
C.Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.
D.We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them.
E.Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old.
F.If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.
G.The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.

2.C项“Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.(运动员的父母和教练为孩子们树立了榜样)”说明了运动员的父母和教练对孩子的影响,后文“If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.(如果父母和教练对其他球迷、裁判或彼此不尊重,孩子们很可能在运动场上也会表现出同样的行为)”是对C项的进一步详细说明,且“parents and coaches”也与C项中内容呼应。故选C。
3.根据后文“Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.(其中一些非常简单,比如在比赛前和其他队员握手。其他的例子可能需要更多的勇气,比如承认对方赛队的出色表现)”可知,这里在列举好的体育精神的表现方式,其中“Some of them”,“Other examples”与A项“Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.(良好的体育精神可以通过许多方式表现出来)”中的“in many ways”呼应。故选A。
4.根据前文“Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness(礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.(学习良好的体育精神是很重要的,因为它有助于你培养一种优雅和尊重的态度,这将延续到你生活的所有其他领域)”可知,良好的体育精神对生活中其他方面也有影响,F项“If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.(如果你在运动场上是一名优秀的运动员,那么你在课堂上也很可能是优秀的)”内容上承接了前文,并且“in the classroom”与后文“Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.(在课堂上表现得好,最终也会在工作中表现得好)”呼应,F项承上启下。故选F。

Starting practicing yoga, you feel a mixture of enthusiasm and curiosity. That’s a desire to discover a technique that promises you a better future. 1 Here are some tips that will help you maintain a regular practice.
Find the yoga that suits you. Hatha yoga is yoga that uses the body as a tool for transformation. 2 You may prefer dynamic yoga such as Ashtanga Vinyasa, technical yoga such as Iyengar, yoga with a calmer approach to movement such as Yin, or other methods. Explore them all. Don’t hesitate to experiment and find the yoga that suits you best.
3 Trusting these age-old techniques is essential if you are to stay on the path to transformation. They have been around for thousands of years and are proof of the seriousness of this process. In fact, yoga is an art that requires techniques that you can learn with complete confidence.
At your own pace. It’s important to attend classes to learn the techniques with a teacher, but it’s also a good idea to practice at home as well. The best practice is the one you do while rolling out the mat, however long it lasts. 4
Take a creative approach. 5 But it’s also important to vary your interactions with other media, such as online courses with videos made by other yoga teachers, listening to podcasts, taking part in workshops and lighting candles. This may keep things fresh, allowing you to stay motivated longer.
A.It includes several types of yoga.
B.Have confidence in the techniques.
C.Even five minutes is incredibly beneficial.
D.Create a space that suits you and calms you down.
E.The mats are there to remind you of your past practice.
F.Having face-to-face class is surely the most common approach.
G.However, as time goes by, you realize how hard it is to keep going.

That’s a desire to discover a technique that promises you a better future.(刚开始练习瑜伽时,你会感到热情和好奇交织。这是一种渴望发现一种能给你带来更好未来的技巧的欲望)”说明刚开始练习瑜伽时充满热情和好奇,空处和前文为转折关系,引出下文坚持练习瑜伽很难的内容。所以G项“然而,随着时间的推移,你会意识到坚持下去有多难。”符合语境。G项中的“However”表示转折,引出下文关于坚持练习瑜伽的困难。故选G。
2.上文“Hatha yoga is yoga that uses the body as a tool for transformation.(哈他瑜伽是一种利用身体作为转变工具的瑜伽)”说明哈他瑜伽是一种瑜伽类型,空处应是对哈他瑜伽的进一步说明。所以A项“它包括几种类型的瑜伽。”符合语境。A项中的It指代上文的“Hatha yoga”,且“includes several types of yoga”进一步解释了哈他瑜伽的特点。故选A。
3.下文“Trusting these age-old techniques is essential if you are to stay on the path to transformation.(如果你想坚持转变之路,相信这些古老的技巧是至关重要的)”说明相信瑜伽技巧很重要,空处应是本段的小标题,概括本段内容。所以B项“对这些技巧有信心。”符合语境。B项概括了本段关于相信瑜伽技巧的主旨,且与下文“Trusting these age-old techniques”相呼应。故选B。
4.上文“The best practice is the one you do while rolling out the mat, however long it lasts.(最好的练习就是你在铺开垫子时所做的,无论它持续多久)”说明在家练习瑜伽,无论时间长短都是好的,空处需进一步说明短时间练习的价值。所以C项“即使只有五分钟也是非常有益的。”符合语境。C项进一步解释了上文“however long it lasts”的情况,即使时间很短也是有益的,故选C。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川南充市·期末)
Without feedback, we are cut off. We behave in a way that we think is right while remaining ignorant. There is positive feedback and negative feedback. Negative feedback can be hard to handle. When it is poorly delivered, it is unhelpful. 1 Below are some useful tips to help us give negative feedback.
Deliver feedback carefully and respectfully. If given too frequently and without regard to feeling, the person on the other end will go back to defense mode — possibly losing confidence, self-esteem, and motivation. 2
Avoid wrapping negative feedback in praise. The feedback sandwich — “praise, criticism, praise”, while popular, may not always be appropriate. The standard can give a false view of how someone is performing. 3 Therefore, this standard might suggest that the performance was successful.
4 Either positive or negative feedback can be constructive, as long as it encourages growth. On the other hand, critical feedback serves little purpose other than to tell someone they are not good. We must, therefore, begin by considering the goal of feedback: improvement. The receiver should be clear about what has gone well and what needs to be progressed.
Negative feedback must be handled carefully. 5 If encouraged to play to their strengths, the person receiving the feedback may possibly find a more effective way of resolving difficulties.
A.Pay attention to feedback’s true goal.
B.Learn to view positive feedback properly.
C.Two positive comments outweigh one negative comment.
D.The key is to focus on solutions and strengths, not just problems.
E.Giving feedback requires a certain amount of communication skills.
F.Therefore, we’d better deliver feedback with both caution and respect.
G.However, if appropriate, negative feedback can be a positive experience.
【答案】1.G 2.F 3.C 4.A 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了给予负面反馈的一些有用建议,包括谨慎且尊重地给予反馈、避免将负面反馈夹在赞扬之中、关注反馈的真正目标以及关注解决方案和优势而非仅关注问题等内容。
1.根据上文“Negative feedback can be hard to handle. When it is poorly delivered, it is unhelpful.(负面反馈可能很难处理。如果传递方式不当,它就毫无帮助)” 以及下文“Below are some useful tips to help us give negative feedback.(以下是一些有用的小贴士,帮助我们给出负面反馈)”可知,选项与前文形成转折,引出后文关于如何恰当给予负面反馈的内容。故G选项“然而,如果方式恰当,负面反馈可以是一次积极的体验” 符合语境,故选G。
2.根据上文 “Deliver feedback carefully and respectfully.(谨慎且尊重地给予反馈)”以及上文“If given too frequently and without regard to feeling, the person on the other end will go back to defense mode — possibly losing confidence, self-esteem, and motivation.(如果反馈过于频繁且不顾及感受,对方会进入防御模式 —— 可能会失去信心、自尊和动力)” 可知,选项与小标题呼应,总结前文,说明因为不恰当反馈有不良后果,所以要谨慎且尊重地给予反馈。故F选项“因此,我们最好谨慎且尊重地给予反馈” 符合语境,故选F。
3.根据上文“The feedback sandwich — “praise, criticism, praise”, while popular, may not always be appropriate. The standard can give a false view of how someone is performing.(‘赞扬—批评—赞扬’这种反馈三明治模式,虽然流行,但可能并不总是合适。这种标准会让人对某人的表现产生错误看法)” 指出“赞扬—批评—赞扬”这种反馈模式会让人产生错误看法;C选项“两条正面评价胜过一条负面评价。”解释前文这种反馈模式会产生错误看法的原因,指出可能因表扬比例过高导致误解,符合语境。故选C。
4.根据下文“Either positive or negative feedback can be constructive, as long as it encourages growth. On the other hand, critical feedback serves little purpose other than to tell someone they are not good. We must, therefore, begin by considering the goal of feedback: improvement. The receiver should be clear about what has gone well and what needs to be progressed.(无论是正面还是负面反馈,只要它鼓励成长就是有建设性的。另一方面,批判性反馈除了告诉某人他们做得不好之外,几乎没有其他作用。因此,我们必须从考虑反馈的目标开始:改进。接收者应该清楚哪些做得好,哪些需要改进)” 可知,选项强调关注反馈目标的重要性,引出后文关于反馈目标是改进的内容。A选项“关注反馈的真正目标” 符合语境,作为主旨句概括该段内容,故选A。
5.根据上文“Negative feedback must be handled carefully.(负面反馈必须谨慎处理)” 及下文 “If encouraged to play to their strengths, the person receiving the feedback may possibly find a more effective way of resolving difficulties.(如果鼓励对方发挥优势,接受反馈的人可能会找到更有效的解决困难的方法)” 可知,选项承上启下,说明谨慎处理负面反馈的关键,引出后文鼓励发挥优势以解决困难的内容。D选项“关键是要关注解决方案和优势,而不仅仅是问题” 符合语境,故选D。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川泸州市·期末)
Steve Jobs died at age 56 on October 5, 2011. Although about 14 years passed, his best creativity advice is never out of season. 1 .
As Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something.” As defined by Steve Jobs, one of the most creative activities we can do is to look for connections. Linking things together is a most creative venture. 2 ; but, equally important, it trains us to look for similarities that are not always apparent or obvious.
3 . As a result, it becomes more difficult to discover creative possibilities because our mind is trapped in familiar ways of thinking (often, the result of how we were educated). 4 : Ask a friend or colleague to give you a completely random set of eight words—words that come from diverse fields and have no apparent connection. Or, go through a newspaper or magazine and randomly point to eight separate words. Then, divide the words into as many different categories as you can (each category must have a minimum of two items) within a two-minute time frame.
For example, I recently asked my wife to give me eight random words. Here’s what she shared: valance, trip, book, snow, sheets, rug, tired, painting. 5 :
● things in the living room (valance, book, rug, painting)
● things with the letter “e” (valance, sheets, tired)
● white things (snow, sheets, painting)
● things humans do (trip, tired)
● things viewed vertically (valance, book, painting)
● things viewed horizontally (valance, sheets, rug)
● things manufactured in a foreign country (sheets, rug)
● things that go in a washing machine (sheets, rug)
A.Here’s one way to break free
B.It creates connections in our brain
C.Here are just a few categories I came up with
D.As thinkers, we frequently get locked into old habits
E.There are category training ways to learn various words
F.In fact, his insights into creativity continue to shine brightly
G.Of course, we can take this idea one step further in other ways
【答案】1.F 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕史蒂夫・乔布斯关于创造力的观点展开,阐述创造力在于连接事物,并介绍了突破常规思维以挖掘创造力的方法,通过随机选取词汇并分类的训练,打破思维定式,激发创造力。
1.根据上文“Although about 14 years passed, his best creativity advice is never out of season.(尽管 14 年过去了,他关于创造力的最佳建议永远不会过时)” 可知,承接前文,进一步强调他对创造力的见解依然很有价值。F选项“事实上,他对创造力的见解依旧熠熠生辉” 符合语境,故选F。
2.根据上文 “As defined by Steve Jobs, one of the most creative activities we can do is to look for connections. Linking things together is a most creative venture.(正如史蒂夫・乔布斯所定义的,我们能做的最具创造性的活动之一就是寻找联系。把事物联系在一起是一项极富创造性的尝试)” 可知,选项解释连接事物这种创造性活动对大脑的作用。B选项“它在我们大脑中建立联系” 符合语境,故选B。
3.根据下文“As a result, it becomes more difficult to discover creative possibilities because our mind is trapped in familiar ways of thinking (often, the result of how we were educated).(因此,发现创造性的可能性变得更加困难,因为我们的思维被困在熟悉的思考方式中(这通常是我们所受教育的结果))” 可知,选项引出后文思维被困导致发现创造性可能性困难的内容,说明陷入旧习惯是导致该问题的原因。D选项“作为思考者,我们经常陷入旧习惯” 符合语境,故选D。
4.根据下文“Ask a friend or colleague to give you a completely random set of eight words—words that come from diverse fields and have no apparent connection...(让朋友或同事给你一组完全随机的八个单词 —— 这些单词来自不同领域且没有明显联系……)” 可知,选项引出后文具体的突破思维定式的方法。A选项“这里有一种突破的方法” 符合语境,故选A。
5.根据上文“For example, I recently asked my wife to give me eight random words. Here’s what she shared: valance, trip, book, snow, sheets, rug, tired, painting.(例如,我最近让我妻子给我八个随机单词。她给出的是:帷幔、旅行、书、雪、床单、地毯、疲惫、画作)” 及后文列举的分类 “● things in the living room (valance, book, rug, painting)……(● 客厅里的东西(帷幔、书、地毯、画作)……)” 可知,承接前文给出单词的例子,引出后文具体的分类内容。C选项“以下是我想出的几个类别” 符合语境,故选C。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市·期末)
Writing flow refers to the smooth and logical progression of ideas within a piece of writing. 1 Poor writing flow can confuse readers and make your message unclear. One useful technique to improve your writing flow is maintaining consistency (一致性).
One key element of maintaining consistency is tense consistency. Decide whether you’re writing in the past, present, or future tense. 2 Unnecessary changes in tense can make your writing seem unclear. For example, avoid sentences that jump between “He walked to the store” and “He is buying milk”.
3 Choose your pronouns carefully. Are you writing in the first person (“I” or “we”), second person (“you”), or third person (“he”, “she”, “it” or “they”)? Once you’ve made your choice, stick with it. Changing pronouns can create confusion. If you are writing about a particular person, make sure to use the same pronouns to refer to them.
Be mindful of perspective (角度) changes, especially in creative writing. If you start a scene from one character’s perspective, avoid suddenly jumping into another character’s thoughts and feelings without a clear transition (过渡). Sudden changes can mislead the reader and weaken the impact of your story. 4

Passage 4
(24-25学年高二下四川眉山市·期末)
We often set ambitious goals like going to the gym or reducing social media use. 1 Our habits play a crucial role in behavior change. We can adopt some practical strategies to build good habits and break bad ones.
2 Actually, the period for habit formation varies, depending on individuals and the specific habit itself. For instance, building a gym habit typically takes months, while hospital staff can develop a handwashing habit in just weeks. The key lies in perseverance, regardless of the time it takes.
Make rewards our aid. Our brains learn to repeat pleasurable behaviors. Studies show that people who find drinking water rewarding are more likely to keep the habit. External rewards, like listening to some relaxing light music after a workout, can strengthen habits. 3
Stack our habits. Our brains naturally combine actions. A strategy called habit stacking involves linking a desired behavior to something we already do. For example, People who give themselves a short facial massage right after brushing teeth tend to maintain the new habit. The existing habit serves as a reminder, making the new one feel like a natural part of our routine. 4 Over time, these paired actions will become lasting habits.
Plan for weak moments. 5 But there will be times when motivation is low. Preparing for these situations is essential. It’s powerful to have “if-then” plans, such as”If I find myself reaching for some junk food when stressed, then I will take a five-minute walk instead. “ This approach helps to stop bad habits from taking over.
A.Forget the 21-day myth.
B.Develop habits within 21 days.
C.However, turning them into reality can be challenging.
D.We’re always full of enthusiasm when setting new goals.
E.They can also help us replace negative habits with positive activities.
F.So if we aim to start practicing yoga, make it a follow-up to our morning coffee.
G.We could fall back into old habits—even the ones we thought we had moved past.

Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川广安市·期末)
Green Roofs: Breathing Life into Concrete Jungles
Imagine concrete jungles turning into living landscapes. Across global cities, rooftops are being transformed into gardens, creating what we call green roofs. 1 Originally popularized in Germany in the 1960s, this innovative approach is now a worldwide nature-based solution to urban environmental crises, demonstrating how cities can harmonize with ecosystems.Natural Cooling Systems
The most immediate benefit lies in cooling overheated cities. 2 The soil and plants act as natural blockers, reducing surface temperatures by up to 40°C in summer. This significantly decreases the “urban heat island” effect where cities become markedly warmer than surrounding rural areas. Consequently, buildings require less air conditioning. Such temperature regulation also improves air quality by reducing ozone formation.Stormwater Managers
Another critical function involves managing stormwater. During heavy rainfalls, traditional roofs cause rapid runoff, often resulting in drainage systems overflowing. Green roofs work like sponges, absorbing about 70% of rainfall. And through their layered structure of soil, drainage mats, and plants, green roofs also filter heavy metals and pollutants from rainwater. 3 Biodiversity Sanctuaries (保护区)
These raised gardens also create vital habitats for birds, insects, and pollinators (传粉者) in areas where natural spaces are rare. Even simple green roofs with native plants support dozens of insect species. 4 . Urban ecologists confirm that such mini-ecosystems strengthen city recovery ability by maintaining pollination networks and natural pest control. In cities like London and Chicago, rare bird species have been observed nesting on high-rise green roofs.
5 From lowering energy bills to creating wildlife corridors and reducing flood risks, green roofs demonstrate how mixing architecture with ecology can build healthier, more sustainable cities for our future. As climate change worsens, these sky-high gardens symbolize humanity’s potential to coexist creatively with nature.
A.These habitats play a key role in urban ecology
B.Thus, they prevent water pollution effectively
C.Green roofs offer multiple environmental benefits
D.Research claims that they remove heat islands entirely
E.This is achieved by adding plants and soil on rooftops
F.Such designs also lower construction costs significantly
G.This concept represents a shift from fighting nature to working with it
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.B 4.A 5.C

Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川资阳市·期末)
I feel guilty every time I receive a new package on my doorstep. I know that buying more new things isn’t good for the planet — the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. 1
Actually, the desire to keep buying things isn’t just a personal imperfection — it’s actually part of how our brains evolved.
Long ago, our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things, like moving toward food or backing away from dangers. 1 They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine (多巴胺), a feel-good chemical, whenever we do something good. Over time, we learn to repeat the actions that give us good feelings.
2 When we get an unexpected reward, our brains release even more dopamine. That’s why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping.
Over time, though, the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades. The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action. That’s why we’re constantly drawn to new things. 3
So, how do we break the cycle? The solution isn’t to stop buying things completely. Instead, we can replace the old rewards with new rewards. Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack, we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet. 4 You still get something that is new to you, and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward, but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth.
A.Our brains love surprises.
B.Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice.
C.Our brains long for that original unexpected joy.
D.Today, our brains still work that way, but they’re more complex.
E.However, all humans are different, and our brains work differently.
F.Still, every time I make a purchase, I get a small burst of joy that’s hard to resist.
G.Creating social rewards can also encourage more people to change their behavior.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们不断购物的原因:大脑进化中用多巴胺奖励有益行为,偏爱惊喜,且重复购物快感减弱促使追求新事物,并给出用购二手物品打破循环的方法。
1.由上文“I know that buying more new things isn’t good for the planet — the production and use of household goods and services was found to have driven 60 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. (我知道购买更多新东西对地球不好——发现家庭用品和服务的生产和使用导致了60%的温室气体排放)”及下文“Actually, the desire to keep buying things isn’t just a personal imperfection — it’s actually part of how our brains evolved. (实际上,持续购买东西的欲望不仅仅是个人的缺点——它实际上是我们大脑进化方式的一部分)”可知,上文表明知道购买新东西不好,下文却说购买欲望是大脑进化的结果,空处应与上文形成转折,说明即便知道不好但还是会有购买行为。F选项“Still, every time I make a purchase, I get a small burst of joy that’s hard to resist. (尽管如此,每次我购物时,都会有一阵难以抗拒的喜悦。)”符合语境,其中Still表示转折,a small burst of joy that’s hard to resist解释了为什么即便知道不好还继续购买,又引出了下文对购物愉悦感来源的解释。故选F。
2.由上文“Long ago, our ancestors survived by learning which choices led to good things, like moving toward food or backing away from dangers. (很久以前,我们的祖先通过学习哪些选择会带来好的结果而生存下来,比如靠近食物或远离危险)”及下文“They help strengthen rewarding behavior by releasing dopamine (多巴胺), a feel-good chemical, whenever we do something good. (每当我们做了一件好事,它们就会释放多巴胺,一种让人感觉良好的化学物质,从而帮助强化有回报的行为)”可知,上文说祖先的生存方式,下文说大脑释放多巴胺强化行为,空处应说明现在大脑和祖先时期大脑的关联。D选项“Today, our brains still work that way, but they’re more complex. (今天,我们的大脑仍然以这种方式工作,但它们更复杂了。)”符合语境,其中that way指代上文中祖先通过选择带来好结果的生存方式,又引出当下大脑运作模式。故选D。
3.由下文“When we get an unexpected reward, our brains release even more dopamine. That’s why we feel excited when we find something unexpected while shopping. (当我们得到意外的奖励时,我们的大脑会释放更多的多巴胺。这就是为什么我们在购物时发现意外的东西会感到兴奋)”可知,下文解释了大脑对意外奖励的反应,空处应引出这一话题。A选项“Our brains love surprises. (我们的大脑喜欢惊喜。)”符合语境,是下文的总起句,其中surprises与下文unexpected reward相呼应。故选A。
4.由上文“Over time, though, the original unexpected joy of that first purchase fades. The dopamine hit gets smaller with each repeat action. That’s why we’re constantly drawn to new things. (然而,随着时间的推移,第一次购买的那种意外的喜悦逐渐消失。每次重复动作,多巴胺的刺激就会变小。这就是为什么我们总是被新事物所吸引)”可知,上文解释了为什么我们总是被新事物吸引,空处应进一步说明大脑对新事物吸引的原因。C选项“Our brains long for that original unexpected joy. (我们的大脑渴望最初那种意外的喜悦。)”符合语境,其中that original unexpected joy与上文the original unexpected joy相呼应。故选C。
5.由上文“So, how do we break the cycle? The solution isn’t to stop buying things completely. Instead, we can replace the old rewards with new rewards. Just like changing chocolate for a healthier snack, we can find ways to satisfy our desire to shop without hurting the planet. (那么,我们如何打破这个循环呢?解决办法不是完全停止购买东西。相反,我们可以用新的奖励取代旧的奖励。就像用更健康的零食代替巧克力一样,我们可以找到在不伤害地球的情况下满足购物欲望的方法)”及下文“You still get something that is new to you, and that same good feeling of an unexpected reward, but without the need for a company to take more resources from the earth. (你仍然可以得到对你来说是新的东西,以及那种意外奖励的同样美好感觉,但不需要公司从地球上获取更多资源)”可知,上文说找到满足购物欲望又不伤害地球的方法,下文说得到新东西且不消耗更多资源,空处应提出具体的方法。B选项“Buying used items is a smart and elegant choice. (购买二手物品是一个明智而优雅的选择。)”符合语境,其中Buying used items既满足购物欲望,又不会像购买新物品那样消耗更多资源,呼应上下文的解决方案。故选B。

Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市第十二中学·期末)
Earlier this month, OpenAI revealed a new version in training mode that is “good at creative writing.” Though its release date is unclear, as a longtime freshman composition instructor, I’m already aware of the problem of A.I.-assisted cheating in writing classes. 1 After all, students have been unvoluntarily exposed to an overwhelming amount of promotion around A.I., and have seen news that makes false claims about how powerful A.I. tools are.
But a creative writing student using A.I.? In a memoir (传记) writing class? What are you saying about your life if even you can’t be bothered to think about it.
Having written two memoirs, I know the challenges and pleasures of this work, and I want my students to experience those challenges, too. 1 Rather, it is about defining who you are, in part by revisiting particularly unpleasant experiences. This process makes the author more fully alive.
2 Using a machine that gathers information online and creates a fake version of you is not just cheating; it degrades our memories and humanity. Yet it’s not the students who concern me most, but a culture that undervalues writing and reading so much that some students think skipping them is a reasonable choice.
The only thing under my control as a teacher is what I do in my classroom. 3 Whether they write best-sellers or just scribble in journals, doing the work with their full selves is what truly matters.
Writing can be a way to preserve ourselves and even a form of resistance. 4
A.I’ll teach students to write honestly.
B.I can even sympathize, to an extent.
C.This may feel like a battle already lost.
D.Outsourcing your life story to AI is disheartening.
E.The act of writing a memoir is not just about saying “Look at me”.
F.That fighting spirit is our greatest strength and exists only within us.
G.It is upsetting to see AI creating fake stories, but maybe it’s just new storytelling.
【答案】1.B 2.E 3.D 4.A 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。OpenAI 新版AI具创意写作能力,身为写作课老师,作者担忧AI辅助作弊,强调写作是自我定义,需全身心投入,是保存自我甚至抵抗的方式。
1.根据上文“Earlier this month, OpenAI revealed a new version in training mode that is “good at creative writing.” Though its release date is unclear, as a longtime freshman composition instructor, I’m already aware of the problem of A. I.-assisted cheating in writing classes.(本月早些时候,OpenAI 公布了一款处于训练模式的新版本,该版本“擅长创意写作”。尽管其发布日期尚未确定,但作为一名资深的大学写作课程教师,我已经意识到人工智能辅助写作课程中存在作弊的问题)”以及后文“After all, students have been unvoluntarily exposed to an overwhelming amount of promotion around A. I., and have seen news that makes false claims about how powerful A. I. tools are.(毕竟,学生们一直被动地接触到了大量有关人工智能的宣传信息,并且还看到了一些夸大其词、对人工智能工具功效做出不实宣称的新闻报道)”可知,上文提到作者认识到人工智能辅助写作课程中存在作弊的问题,且后文结合了学生的一些实际情况,推测作者对于这一情况产生了共鸣。故B选项“我甚至能在一定程度上产生共鸣”符合语境,故选B。
2.根据上文“Having written two memoirs, I know the challenges and pleasures of this work, and I want my students to experience those challenges, too.(我已经写了两本回忆录,深知从事这一工作所面临的种种困难与带来的乐趣。我希望我的学生们也能亲身体验这些挑战)”可知,上文提到了写回忆录,推测本句要说明作者对于写回忆录的看法,故E选项“写写回忆录不仅仅是说‘看看我’这么简单”符合语境,故选E。
3.根据后文“Using a machine that gathers information online and creates a fake version of you is not just cheating; it degrades our memories and humanity. Yet it’s not the students who concern me most, but a culture that undervalues writing and reading so much that some students think skipping them is a reasonable choice.(利用一台能在线收集信息并生成你虚假形象的机器,这不仅是一种欺骗行为,还会损害我们的记忆和人性。然而,最让我担忧的并非学生本身,而是那种极度轻视写作和阅读的文化,以至于有些学生认为跳过这些环节是合理的选择)”可知,本段主要说明了让人工智能写故事的缺点,体现了不好的体验。故D选项“将你的生活故事外包给人工智能是令人沮丧的”符合语境,故选D。
4.根据上文“The only thing under my control as a teacher is what I do in my classroom.(作为一名教师,我所能掌控的唯一事情就是我在课堂上所做的事情)”可知,本句具体说明作者是如何教学的,故A选项“我会教导学生们诚实地写作”符合语境,故选A。
5.根据上文“Writing can be a way to preserve ourselves and even a form of resistance.(写作可以成为一种自我保护的方式,甚至也是一种反抗的手段)”可知,上文提到了写作可以作为反抗手段,本句总结这一作用的影响。故F选项“那种战斗精神是我们最强大的力量,只存在于我们自身之中”符合语境,故选F。
Passage 2
(24-25学年高二下四川广元市·期末)
The Power of Small Habits
Many people believe that success requires grand actions, but researches show that small daily habits are the true foundation of big achievements. 1 . Give it a shot and you’ll be amazed at their effectiveness.
Believing in Small Steps Lead to Big Changes
Imagine intending to read at least ten books a year. This is what seems a tough goal in a world where you’re sometimes constantly interrupted. Here comes the solution. Reading just 10 pages every morning adds up to 3,650 pages, which is annually-equivalent to 12–15 books. 2 . Using the Domino Effect
The Domino Effect refers to a chain reaction in which a single event triggers (触发) a sequence of related events. It is true with your habits. When you regularly start making your bed or having your breakfast each morning, this small achievement creates psychological inspiration. 3 . Each completed habit becomes a stepping stone for the next. 4 .
Big goals often make people feel stressful. However, breaking them into 5-minute daily practices makes them achievable. Want to exercise more? Begin with 5-minute home workouts. These “micro-actions” avoid procrastination (拖延症) because they require the least willpower, thus gradually increasing the duration as the habit forms.
Making Progress Witnessed
5 . A simple checklist or progress chart does the trick. You will improve your vocabulary by marking a calendar each day you learn 3 new words. Within 100 days, your notebook will become a powerful reminder showing 300 mastered words, which makes your progress visible to yourself.
In short, the power of small habits is really beyond your imagination. By focusing on the small habits mentioned above, you can transform your life gradually yet profoundly.
A.Setting clear goals
B.Track progress visually
C.Overcoming procrastination
D.This demonstrates how rapidly you’ll make a change
E.The following measures will do you a favor if adopted properly
F.It is a living example that tiny efforts, when repeated, lead to big results
G.Little by little, you might find yourself naturally living and eating more healthily
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.G 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了小习惯的力量,强调了小习惯对于实现大目标的重要性,并给出了几个具体的建议。
【详解】21.根据上文“Many people believe that success requires grand actions, but researches show that small daily habits are the true foundation of big achievements. (许多人认为成功需要宏大的行动,但研究表明,小的日常习惯才是取得巨大成就的真正基础)”以及下文“Give it a shot and you’ll be amazed at their effectiveness.(试试看,你会惊讶于它们的效果)”可知,上文强调了小习惯的重要性,下文作者鼓励读者尝试这些小习惯。E选项“The following measures will do you a favor if adopted properly (如果采用得当,以下措施将对你有所帮助)”中的“measures”指的是一些具体的方法或建议,与上文提到的小习惯相呼应,且引出下文的具体建议。故选E项。
1.根据上文“Reading just 10 pages every morning adds up to 3,650 pages, which is annually-equivalent to 12–15 books. (每天早上只读10页,加起来就是3,650页,相当于每年读12至15本书)”可知,此处通过具体的数字来说明小习惯的累积效应,F选项“It is a living example that tiny efforts, when repeated, lead to big results (这是一个生动的例子,说明微小的努力,如果重复,会导致巨大的结果)”中的“tiny efforts”和“big results”与上文中的“10 pages”和“12–15 books”形成对比,进一步强调了小习惯的累积效应。故选F项。
2.根据上文“When you regularly start making your bed or having your breakfast each morning, this small achievement creates psychological inspiration. (当你每天早上定期开始整理床铺或吃早餐时,这个小成就就会产生心理上的激励)”以及下文“Each completed habit becomes a stepping stone for the next. (每一个完成的习惯都会成为下一个习惯的垫脚石。)”可知,此处强调了小习惯带来的心理激励,并会产生连锁反应,G选项“Little by little, you might find yourself naturally living and eating more healthily (渐渐地,你可能会发现自己自然地生活得更健康,吃得更健康)”中的“naturally”与上文中的“psychological inspiration”相呼应,具体说明了小习惯带来的后续积极影响,与上下文逻辑连贯一致。故选G项。
3.根据设空位置和下文“Big goals often make people feel stressful. However, breaking them into 5-minute daily practices makes them achievable. Want to exercise more? Begin with 5-minute home workouts. These “micro-actions” avoid procrastination (拖延症) because they require the least willpower, thus gradually increasing the duration as the habit forms. (远大的目标往往会让人感到压力。然而,将它们分解为每天5分钟的练习,就能让目标变得可实现。想多锻炼吗?从5分钟的家庭锻炼开始。这些“微行动”可以避免拖延,因为它们所需的意志力最少,随着习惯的养成,就能逐渐增加时长。)”可知,本段主要讲的是将大目标分解为小行动以克服拖延,C选项“Overcoming procrastination (克服拖延症)”,概括了段落主旨,可作为小标题。故选C项。
4.根据下文“A simple checklist or progress chart does the trick. You will improve your vocabulary by marking a calendar each day you learn 3 new words. Within 100 days, your notebook will become a powerful reminder showing 300 mastered words, which makes your progress visible to yourself. (一个简单的清单或进度表就可以解决问题。你可以通过在日历上标记每天学习3个新单词来提高词汇量。在100天内,你的笔记本将成为一个强有力的提醒,显示你已经掌握了300个单词,这让你自己的进步一目了然)”可知,此处强调了通过可视化的方式来跟踪进度的重要性,B选项“Track progress visually (以可视化的方式跟踪进度)”中的“visually”与下文中的“checklist”,“progress chart”和“calendar”相呼应,说明通过可视化的工具来跟踪进度。故选B项。
主题 04 人与自我 —— 做人与做事
Passage 1
(24-25学年高二下四川成都市蓉城名校联考·期末)
Almost everyone procrastinates (拖延). Whether it’s avoiding an assignment, delaying house chores、or putting off a visit to the dentist, we’ve all been there. The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt、stress, and missed opportunities. 1
·Begin with bite-sized tasks.
One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. 1 When you break a task into smaller steps, it becomes much easier. For example, if you’re avoiding cleaning your room, don’t aim to finish it in one day. Instead, focus on sorting just one corner or organizing a single shelf.
· 2
We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly.
·Use rewards to stay motivated.
1 One way to encourage yourself to tackle uncomfortable tasks is by using rewards. Pair an unpleasant task with a desirable activity, or promise yourself a treat once the task is done. This method transforms the task into a stepping stone to something you enjoy.
·Apply the two-minute rule.
The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. 1 For example, if you need to send a quick email, respond to a text, or wash a few dishes, handle it immediately. These small actions might seem insignificant, but they can create momentum (动力) towards larger tasks.
A.Tackle your toughest task first.
B.Focus on the most challenging task.
C.It helps stop small tasks from piling up.
D.The trick is to begin with something simple.
E.A little external push is sometimes what we need.
F.Below are some strategies to help you conquer procrastination.
G.Undoubtedly, these negative feelings will cause your procrastination.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.A 4.E 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了克服拖延症的方法。
1.上文“The tasks you avoid aren’t always hard or time-consuming, but they may cause discomfort, leading to delay and a cycle of guilt, stress, and missed opportunities.(你避免的任务并不总是困难或耗时的,但它们可能会引起不适,导致延误和内疚、压力和错失机会的循环)”说明拖延会带来负面影响。空处和前文为顺接关系,引出下文介绍克服拖延的方法。所以F项“以下是一些帮助你克服拖延的策略。”承接上文,并引出下文各段落内容,符合语境。故选F。
2.上文“One of the biggest reasons we procrastinate is that tasks seem too big or tricky. (我们拖延的最大原因之一是任务看起来太大或太棘手)”说明了拖延的一个原因是任务看起来太大或太棘手,空处应承接上文,说明解决这个问题的方法,D选项中的“begin with something simple”与上文中的“tasks seem too big or tricky”形成对比,说明从简单的事情开始,所以D选项“诀窍是从简单的事情开始”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
3.由下文“We often procrastinate on the tasks we find most unpleasant. Whether it’s an awkward conversation you need to have or a particularly tough assignment, putting off these tasks only increases anxiety. However, if you do them first in the morning, you’ll free up mental space to handle the rest of your day more smoothly. (我们经常拖延那些我们觉得最不愉快的任务。无论是你需要进行的一次尴尬的对话,还是一项特别艰巨的任务,推迟这些任务只会增加焦虑。然而,如果你在早上先做这些事情,你会腾出心理空间,让一天中的其他事情处理得更顺利)”可知,本段主要说明了先处理最困难的任务的好处,空处为本段小标题,所以A选项“先处理最困难的任务”引出下文内容,适合用作段落小标题。故选A。
4.上文“Use rewards to stay motivated. (使用奖励来保持动力)”建议使用奖励来保持动力,空处应承接上文,说明使用奖励的原因,E选项中的“external push”与上文中的“rewards”相呼应,说明外部的推动力是我们需要的,所以E选项“有时候,我们需要的只是一点外部的推动力”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
5.上文“The two-minute rule suggests that if a task can be done in two minutes or less, do it immediately. (两分钟法则表明,如果一个任务可以在两分钟或更短的时间内完成,那就立即去做)”介绍了两分钟法则,空处应承接上文,说明这个法则的好处,C选项中的“It”指代上文中的“The two-minute rule”,说明这个法则可以阻止小任务堆积,所以C选项“它有助于阻止小任务堆积”承接上文,符合语境。故选C。

Funny praises to Brighten Someone’s Day
Giving praises can be more than just saying “You’re great.” A well-crafted funny remark can spark joy while showing genuine care. 1 —here’s how to master this art creatively! For friends, highlight your shared experiences. For example, “You’re the only person I’d never want to argue with” works perfectly. Adding inside jokes like “Remember when you ate three burgers? That’s the confidence I admire!” also strengthens your bond. For children, combine imagination with easy-to-understand humor. Imagine telling a child, “I bet puppies show pictures of you to their friends!” This playful comparison uses fantasy to make them feel special. 2 .
When addressing coworkers, balance humor with professionalism. 3 . A comment like “Work feels 10% less chaotic (混乱) when you’re around” acknowledges their contribution and lightens their mood without crossing boundaries.
4 Focus on their style or actions, like “If you were a superhero, your power would be shining bright.” or “Your scarf looks like it was designed by a fairy!” Such remarks feel safe yet uplifting for the people you met for the first time. Avoid overly personal remarks to keep it comfortable. Never mention sensitive topics like age or weight.
5 Instead of unclear praise like “You’re pretty,” say “Your determination inspires me.” Authenticity (真实) matters more than wit—people sense when your words come from the heart.

B.Sincerity forms the foundation of any effective praise.
C.What people look like should always be the primary focus.
D.The key lies in appropriate humor to different relationships.

F.Avoid complex expressions to ensure they grasp your warmth easily.
G.It’s always improper to praise people in the form of making fun of them.
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.A 4.E 5.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“有趣赞美”,阐述对朋友、孩子、同事、陌生人的不同幽默赞美方式,强调真诚是有效赞美的基础。
1.根据上文“Giving praises can be more than just saying “You’re great.” A well-crafted funny remark can spark joy while showing genuine care.( 给予表扬不仅仅是说“你很棒”。一个精心设计的有趣的评论可以激发快乐,同时表现出真正的关心)”提到精心设计的有趣赞美能传递快乐,下文“here’s how to master this art creatively!( 这里是如何创造性地掌握这门艺术!)”提到针对不同关系的赞美技巧。D选项“The key lies in appropriate humor to different relationships.( 关键在于根据不同关系使用恰当幽默)”承上启下,既总结了赞美需“创意”,又引出后文对朋友、孩子等不同对象的分类说明。故选D项。
2.根据上文“For children, combine imagination with easy-to-understand humor. Imagine telling a child, “I bet puppies show pictures of you to their friends!” This playful comparison uses fantasy to make them feel special.( 对于儿童,将想象力与易于理解的幽默结合起来。想象一下,告诉一个孩子:“我打赌小狗会把你的照片给它们的朋友看!”这种有趣的比较利用幻想让他们觉得自己很特别)”该段针对孩子,强调“结合想象与易懂幽默”。F选项“Avoid complex expressions to ensure they grasp your warmth easily.( 避免复杂表达,确保他们轻松感受温暖)”与前文“easy-to-understand humor”和“playful comparison”呼应,进一步说明对孩子赞美需简洁易懂。故选F项。
3.根据上文“When addressing coworkers, balance humor with professionalism.( 和同事讲话时,要在幽默和专业之间取得平衡)”可知,此段围绕同事,要求“幽默与专业平衡”。A选项“In offices, keep jokes respectful and work-related.( 在办公室,保持笑话尊重且与工作相关)”符合“professionalism”的语境,且“work-related”与后文“acknowledges their contribution”(认可工作贡献)衔接。故选A项。
4.根据下文“Such remarks feel safe yet uplifting for the people you met for the first time. Avoid overly personal remarks to keep it comfortable. Never mention sensitive topics like age or weight.(这样的话会让你第一次见到的人感到安全又振奋。避免过多的人身攻击,保持气氛舒适。不要提及年龄或体重等敏感话题)”提到对初次见面的人,要避免私人话题,不要人身攻击,并保持舒适气氛。E选项“With strangers, prioritize light-hearted and non-invasive topics.( 对陌生人,优先轻松且无冒犯性的话题)”符合题意,strangers对应“the people you met for the first time”,且“non-invasive”与“avoid overly personal remarks”呼应。故选E项。
5.根据空后的“Authenticity (真实) matters more than wit—people sense when your words come from the heart.( 当你的话语发自内心时,真诚比机智更重要)”可知,这里强调真诚的重要性。B选项“Sincerity forms the foundation of any effective praise.(真诚是任何有效赞扬的基础)”符合语境,“Sincerity”与 “Authenticity”意思相近,都强调真诚。故选B项。
Passage 3
(24-25学年高二下四川凉山州·期末)
If you hate Mondays, you’re certainly not alone. After two days off, many of us struggle to settle back into our routines and work duties. 1
Even though the weekend is enjoyable, our brain has to adjust to the sudden change in routine. Research indicates that routines can improve our sense of coherence (连贯性). 2 When we have established routines, whether it’s a five-day workweek with two days off or a set of daily actions, our lives become more meaningful. Keeping a regular routine helps our brain adapt to the week and reduce our anxiety.
Adjusting to the post-weekend change can be challenging, especially when we return to less pleasant activities like a to-do list on Monday morning. The good news is that the brain does not need to make too much effort to do that. One effective way to ease back into the week is to introduce routines that last the whole week and add meaning to our life. 3 These routines can make the transition (过渡) from weekend to weekday smoother and help your brain adapt to the change.
Another important routine to establish is your sleep routine. Changes in sleep patterns during weekends can lead to social jetlag (时差综合症). For example, sleeping in later and longer on free days creates a conflict between your body clock and your social responsibilities. 4 So, try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, such as turning off digital devices and practicing relaxation techniques before sleep.
5 Always believe that small changes can lead to big differences in how you feel about Mondays.
A.It may have something to do with your sleep pattern.
B.This can result in increased stress on Monday mornings.
C.And they can help us make sense of our life’s events naturally.
D.Here are some ways to reset your brain to feel good on Mondays.
E.You can change your schedules to make Mondays more appealing.
F.Hope the above strategies can make your Mondays more enjoyable and less stressful.
G.Activities like watching TV, exercising or gardening can be fixed at the same time daily.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.G 4.B 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章分析人们讨厌周一的原因,给出应对方法:建立全周规律、保持固定睡眠 schedule 等,助人们轻松应对周一,缓解压力。
1.根据上文“If you hate Mondays, you’re certainly not alone. After two days off, many of us struggle to settle back into our routines and work duties.(如果你讨厌周一,那你绝非个例。在休息了两天之后,我们很多人都会难以重新适应日常的工作和生活节奏)”可知,前文提到“很多人讨厌周一,难以适应工作节奏”,后文开始介绍应对方法。本句承上启下,引出下文的具体建议,故D选项“以下是一些让大脑在周一感觉良好的方法”符合语境,故选D。
2.根据上文“Even though the weekend is enjoyable, our brain has to adjust to the sudden change in routine. Research indicates that routines can improve our sense of coherence (连贯性).(尽管周末是令人愉快的时光,但我们的大脑仍需要适应这种突如其来的作息变化。研究表明,规律的作息能够增强我们的整体感)”可知,本段围绕“日常规律(routines)”展开,前文提到“规律能提升连贯性”,本句进一步解释规律的作用,且C选项中“they”指代前文的“routines”,故C选项“而且它们能够帮助我们自然而然地理解人生中的各种事件”符合语境,故选C。
3.根据上文“Adjusting to the post-weekend change can be challenging, especially when we return to less pleasant activities like a to-do list on Monday morning. The good news is that the brain does not need to make too much effort to do that. One effective way to ease back into the week is to introduce routines that last the whole week and add meaning to our life.(适应周末过后的生活变化可能会有些困难,尤其是当我们周一早上面对诸如待办事项清单这类不太愉快的活动时。好消息是,大脑并不需要付出太多努力就能做到这一点。一种有助于顺利回归工作的有效方法是建立贯穿一周的常规活动,并为我们的生活增添意义)”可知,前文建议“引入贯穿整周的规律,为生活增添意义”;G选项“诸如看电视、锻炼或园艺之类的活动可以每天在同一时间进行”举例说明具体的规律活动,与前文“建立规律”呼应,符合语境,故选G。
4.根据上文“Another important routine to establish is your sleep routine. Changes in sleep patterns during weekends can lead to social jetlag (时差综合症). For example, sleeping in later and longer on free days creates a conflict between your body clock and your social responsibilities.(另一个需要建立的重要习惯就是睡眠规律。周末睡眠模式的改变可能会导致‘社会时差综合症’。例如,在休息日睡得更晚、睡得更久,就会造成你的生物钟与社会责任之间的冲突)”可知,前文提到“周末睡眠模式改变会导致‘社交时差’,比如睡懒觉会让生物钟与社交责任冲突”;B选项“这可能会导致周一早晨的压力增大”承接上文,说明周末睡眠模式的改变可能带来的影响,符合语境,故选B。
5.根据后文“Always believe that small changes can lead to big differences in how you feel about Mondays.(永远相信,小小的改变能够极大地改变你对周一的感受)”可知,本段为结尾,前文介绍了应对周一的方法(建立规律、保持睡眠习惯等),本句总结全文,呼应开头“讨厌周一”的问题,给出积极收尾。故F选项“希望上述策略能让你的周一更加愉快且压力更小”符合语境,故选F。
