Being a responsible digital citizen (公民) is becoming more and more recognized among people. That means using technology correctly and operating online safely. Here are several useful tips to guide you.
Always behave politely online. For example, if you disagree with someone, stay calm instead of using rude or aggressive language, as it tends to be misunderstood. Do not take part in cyberbullying. 1 Support those who are bullied and report harmful behavior.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波三锋联盟·期末)
How to Quiet a Complainer (抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. But you may not be brave enough to stop her. 1
Change the subject.
2 If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently (目前的) on.
Summarize (总结) the complaint.
If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard and I understand how you feel?” Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. 3 Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across.
4
When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment. You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down–especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
Have a heart-to-heart talk.
When it’s someone very close to you — your partner, sibling, or best friend — who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important that you take steps to deal with the situation. 5 Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person.
A.Try to be honest.
B.Challenge the person to talk.
C.Avoid saying the word complaining.
D.The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
E.It’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart.
F.In fact, there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.
G.Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them.

Passage 3
(24-25高一下·浙江丽水·期末)
How to build a healthy self-image
Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. 1 Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image.
Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. 2 This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth.
Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. 3
4 We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine.
Take social media breaks. While it’s a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. 5 That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world.
It’s a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self.
A.Set strict goals for self-growth.
B.Take action for self-growth with patience.
C.These actions contribute to a positive self-view.
D.Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves.
E.So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much.
F.A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being.
G.By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.C 4.B 5.E
【来源】浙江省丽水市2024-2025学年高一下学期6月期末英语试题
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了建立健康的自我形象的四种方法——真诚赞美他人、培养感恩习惯、耐心自我成长、控制社交媒体使用。
1.前文“Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. (自我形象至关重要,因为我们如何看待自己会影响自我感受以及与他人和周围环境的互动方式)”指出自我形象影响个体的情绪与行为,后文“Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image. (以下是培养健康自我形象的一些方法)”引出培养健康自我形象的方法,此处是过渡句,应说明健康的自我形象的积极作用,因此F项“A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being. (健康的自我形象能提升身心健康)”符合语境,承前启后,其中的A healthy self-image在后一句有同词复现。故选F。
2.前文“The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. (你越是能够为他人获得的积极体验而喝彩,就越容易获得内心的安定感)”指出真诚赞美他人有助于提升自我安全感,后文“This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth. (这种赞美他人的行为,也能有效对抗自我价值感低落的负面情绪)”指出赞美他人还能帮助抵抗负面情绪,此处应该也描述赞美他人对自己的好处,因此G项“By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you. (将积极的光束投射他人时,光芒常会反射回你身上)”符合语境,用比喻描述赞美他人与反哺自我的关系,承前启后,符合题意。故选G。
3.前文“Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. (不妨尝试记录感恩日记——这会促使你梳理出生活中值得感激的美好事物。在书写过程中,要特别留意:你感激的究竟是什么?在这些美好中,你又扮演了怎样的角色)”建议用感恩日记关注自身在美好事物中的角色,此处是段末句,应总结这种实践对自我形象的积极影响,因此C项“These actions contribute to a positive self-view. (这些行动有助于形成积极的自我认知)”符合语境,承接前文,其中的these actions指代前文写日记、觉察等具体行为。故选C。
4.后文“We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. (随着时间的流逝,我们的生活将会成长和改变。但如果你付出努力,这种增长就会更快、更有效。与此同时,成长的很大一部分是对自己有耐心。例如,如果你开始冥想,不要指望马上坐半个小时)”强调成长需要耐心,并举冥想为例,此处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需建议用耐心促进自我成长,且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式,因此B项“Take action for self-growth with patience. (以耐心付诸自我成长的行动)”符合语境,契合后文主旨。故选B。
5.前文“On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. (在社交媒体上,人们倾向于展示自己最好的状态,而不是最糟糕的状态)”指出社交媒体往往片面展示最好状态的现象,后文“That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world. (这就是为什么从数字世界中休息一下是很重要的)”总结要从数字世界中休息,此处是过渡句,应该指出这一现象的负面影响,因此E项“So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much. (因此,过度浏览社交媒体会导致自我贬低)”符合语境,和前后文构成完整的因果关系链。故选E。
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波海曙区宁波荣安实验中学·期末)
Hiking is a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise. Here are a few simple tips to make sure your next hiking trip is both safe and enjoyable.
Hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. 1 If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.
Have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration (脱水). Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. 2 So make sure to drink your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.
Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches. 3
4 If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. 5
A.Don’t take a too long trip at a time.
B.Make sure that your body is prepared.
C.You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.
D.If you get injured, your friend will be able to go and get help.
E.But clothing that is too tight might become uncomfortable as you walk.
F.With enough practice, you can take longer hikes across more challenging landscapes.
G.If you are going on a long hike, you might want to bring an extra pair of socks just in case.

Passage 5
(24-25高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
Enjoy Every Moment of Life
“Life is precious.... To a person nothing is more precious than their life.” 1 Many people rush through life going after big goals without stopping to appreciate the small joys around them. By learning to appreciate the present, we can find happiness in ordinary things. Here are some ways to embrace (拥抱) life fully.
Start your day with gratitude. When you wake up, think of three things you’re thankful for. 2 It could be sunshine, a warm bed, or a friend’s smile. This simple practice helps you begin the day positively and changes your mindset toward contentment.
Stop worrying too much about the future. 3 For example, instead of anxiously thinking about exams, focus on preparing well today. Remember, the future is shaped by what we do now, and excessive stress only robs you of present joy.
4 Take time to notice the world around you — the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh bread, or the feeling of wind on your face. These small moments make life beautiful and remind us how magical everyday experiences can be.
Be kind to yourself and others. Everyone faces challenges, but kindness makes difficulties easier to bear. Showing kindness to yourself gently reduces the sadness within. 5 When you spread positivity, you’ll find life becomes more joyful and meaningful, creating a ripple effect of goodwill.
Life is short, but by living mindfully, we can make every moment count. So pause, breathe, and cherish the gift of each new day.
A.It doesn’t have to be something big.
B.Slow down and enjoy simple pleasures.
C.Focus on the present and let go of worries.
D.Helping others also brings happiness to yourself.
E.However, planning ahead is still necessary for success.
F.Therefore, we should value each day and live it to the fullest.
G.They forget that happiness lies in the journey, not just the destination.

Passage 6
(24-25高一下·浙江杭州上城区等5地·期末)
How to manage digital anger
We’ve all been there: you come across a comment on Facebook, or a headline pops up on X that leaves you feeling angry. So, what can we do to reduce our digital anger? Here are some tips.
Organize Your Digital Experience.
Consider blocking people instead of taking part in arguments. Create a digital “safe space” for relaxation. You might want to use different platforms for specific purposes—like using Facebook for friends and Twitter for news–so you know what to expect and can react accordingly. 1
Step Away from the Screen.
If discussions become heated, take a physical break from your screen. 1 Stepping away can also improve your mood and reduce stress. When you return, you’ll think more clearly and engage with a calmer mindset.
2
Don’t rush to respond to views that are different from yours. Take a moment to calm down, which may lead to clearer, more peaceful responses. It’s important to remember that not every comment needs a response. When faced with rude content, consider reporting it rather than responding directly.
Find Healthy Outlets for Anger.
There’s nothing wrong with feeling angry, but still you need to deal with it properly. A good way is to express your anger through diary writing. 1 . It can help you clarify your disappointment and then guide you toward positive actions.
Consider Talking with Someone.
If your emotions are negatively impacting you, looking for help from an expert can be beneficial. 1 It can also help you explore your feelings and increase self-awareness, supporting better mental health.
A.Think before posting.
B.Focus on what matters.
C.Writing helps process emotions.
D.It is common to feel angry sometimes.
E.A break can prevent regrettable comments.
F.Talking to a professional can offer new ideas.
G.This helps avoid trouble and keeps the online environment positive.

Passage 7
(23-24高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
Sometimes dealing with your emotions can feel overwhelming. When life is stressful, it’s easy to give in to feelings of anger or depression. 1 There are ways to better cope with your negative feelings.
Understand your emotional needs.
In order to manage your emotions, you need to fully understand them. All of us have certain emotional needs that are just as important as our physical needs. Spend some time taking an inventory of the emotional needs that are most important to you. For example, some important emotional needs are feeling in control, feeling respected, and feeling comfort. 1
Know the causes.
When things aren’t going your way, it is very common to feel anger. Maybe your boss criticized you for careless work on a project. You might feel that you are not being respected, because you spent months creating a great product. 1 Knowing the things that set off negative emotions is an important part of remaining in control.
2
When you know that something is causing a negative emotion, try to shift your focus away from it. Instead, refocus on something positive to help you regain your calmness. Perhaps feeling out of control is one of your triggers. When you are in a traffic jam and running late, you are likely to feel frustration and anger. To improve the situation, turn on your favorite CD for just such an occasion.
Calm down.
When experiencing very strong emotions, it can be difficult to think and act reasonably. When you are angry or frightened, your body goes into a flight or fight mode, which can cause you to react emotionally instead of logically. 1 So it is important to learn to calm yourself down when you are experiencing negative emotions. One of the effective ways is to take deep breaths. Focusing on your breathing will help you calm down, physically and emotionally.
A.Shift your focus.
B.Take a time-out.
C.Not feeling respected is probably what causes your anger.
D.This type of response is generally not helpful in work or social life.
E.Once you know the causes, you can use that to regain happiness.
F.However, you will feel better if you can learn to manage your emotions.
G.If your brain feels one of those needs is not being met, that can cause the negative emotions.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.C 4.A 5.D

Passage 8
(23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Summer — Ready
The weather is starting to warm up now. 1 However, if your patio (露台) isn't currently tidy or stylish, the following advice will get it in tip-top shape in time for the summer.
●Prepare your patio.
First things first: the patio itself. If yours is looking a little untidy, then bring out the pressure washer and give it a good wash to get it looking more attractive. If it's still looking terrible for use, the answer lies in an outdoor carpet (地毯) . 2 So throw one down for instant style and your guests will be none the wiser.
●Get the right furniture.
Having invitingly comfortable seats to sit in is a sure way to make you a popular host, so get the right furniture for your needs. If you have limited space, choose a space-saving sofa or dining set — one that can fold away or that has a cube design, by which the chairs can be pushed right inside the table after use. 3
●Create a cooking space.
4 It can't go without a barbecue, so make sure you have one! Barbecuing is the perfect way to make your delicious food centre stage and is ideal for socializing: the barbecue shelves provide somewhere for your guests to put down their drinks and enjoy plates of summer snacks while you cook up a storm in the middle.
● 5
Adding plants in attractive pots can make a big difference to any space, so place some in your patio here and there. These colourful pots will add a bright, sunny air for your summer party. If you really want to make it impressive, you can also add hanging lanterns above your outdoor dining table for romantic dinners at dusk that your guests will never forget.
A.Keep an eye on the weather.
B.Make an atmosphere in the air.
C.Carpets come in all styles and sizes.
D.These magic carpets will cover up the truth.
E.So outdoor summer parties will soon be in full swing.
F.A summer party is like the outdoor version of a kitchen diner.
G.For larger patios, spacious sofa sets give a hugely welcoming feel.

Passage 9
(23-24高一下·浙江金华·期末)
If you have experienced awkward situations, you’re definitely not alone. 1 Thus, it’s helpful to have strategies to help us deal with things as gracefully as possible. Here are my top tips for overcoming awkwardness.
2 Doing or saying something awkward or embarrassing can make us feel like the entire world has noticed. This is caused by a phenomenon called the Spotlight Effect, where we think people notice and remember more about our appearance and behavior than they do. Reminding yourself that “Nobody will remember this tomorrow” can help you react to an awkward moment more wisely.
Don’t take all the blame. 3 They’re something that you create with other people. That’s what makes them social. If you’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable, it’s easy to take all of the blame for that on yourself. Reminding yourself that you can’t control everything in a social situation can make it easier for you to forgive yourself for awkward situations.
Try to see the funny side. This is one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for overcoming awkwardness. Finding the humor in the situation lets me feel better and helps the people around me feel more comfortable. 4 Laughing, even at yourself, when someone’s been hurt or upset can come across as mean.
Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn. 5 In fact, being awkward can make you more likable.
A.Be kind to your past self.
B.But be careful about how you use it.
C.This is part of becoming socially skilled.
D.It’s not possible to avoid them completely.
E.Remember that others don’t pay much attention to you.
F.This can be a real struggle when you’re feeling awkward.
G.Social situations are almost always a shared responsibility.

5.根据上文“Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn.(接受尴尬的风险。学习新东西几乎总是伴随着出错的风险。这意味着,如果你想提高你的社交技能,你可能不得不处理一些尴尬。不要试图避免所有尴尬的情况,试着把它们看作是你学习过程的一部分)”可知,上文提到把尴尬看作学习的一部分,C选项This is part of对应上文as part of。C选项“这是成为社交技能的一部分”符合语境,故选C。
Passage 10
(24-25高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Scrolling through social media often makes us feel left behind by others’ seemingly perfect lives. While admiration for others’ achievements is natural, constant comparison can harm your confidence. Here are practical solutions:
1 It’s hard to compare yourself to others if you’re crystal clear about your personal values. For example, if family time matters most, don’t measure yourself against career-driven people. Write down what success means to you and revisit the list whenever envy strikes.
Replace comparison with curiosity. When seeing others’ achievements, ask “What skills can I learn from them?”. A classmate’s high scores could inspire better study methods rather than self-doubt. 2
Be selective about social media. Social media can be both a blessing (恩赐) and a curse, depending on how you use it. 3 Follow those sharing real struggles and positive messages instead. Taking care of what you see on social media can help keep you calm.
Set daily time limits for social media. 4 Activities like hiking, cooking with family, or quiet reading build real happiness that no “likes” can replace. Physical world connections reduce screen addiction.
Practice gratitude to break the comparison cycle. Each night, write three things you’re thankful for — a good grade, a friend’s kindness, or sunny weather. 5
Remember, someone else’s success doesn’t erase yours. Run your own race guided by your values. Start building mental strength today!
A.Develop your own understanding of success.
B.Real fulfillment comes from offline experiences.
C.Establish measurable goals for self-development.
D.This mindset turns anxiety into chances for growth.
E.Social media requires strict time management strategies.
F.Unfollow accounts showing unrealistic beauty or wealth.
G.This simple habit trains your brain to focus on existing blessings.

Passage 1
(23-24高一下·浙江丽水·期末)
Even though it’s never been easier to see the latest movies at home, there’s still nothing quite like watching a film in the dark of the cinema on the biggest screen possible. 1 There are a number of ways you can bring the cost down to make it more affordable, whether it’s an occasional treat or regular activity.
Avoid high-priced tickets
The most expensive tickets are going to be on peak times, which will usually run from Friday night until Sunday evening. But if you have the flexibility to go midweek or in the daytime you’ll hopefully find lower prices. 2 It’ll depend on which cinema you have near you.
Consider a membership
Some cinema memberships also offer free tickets and then discounts on future visits, so they’re worth looking at if you know you’ll make the money back. But if you are going at least twice a month then the all-you-can-watch memberships can be fantastic value. However, one disadvantage is that if you want to see a film at a different chain you’ll be paying again. 3
Use discounted gift cards
4 Or you can use cashback apps like Jam Doughnut and Hyper Jar to buy the gift cards and get a percentage back. What’s good about these is that they stack with other offers, such as Meerkat Movies and silver screenings, so you save twice.
5
Finally, armed with your cheap cinema tickets, don’t ruin all your good work by buying the popcorn at the cinema. The price is always high. But it can be easily avoided by hitting a supermarket beforehand to buy much cheaper treats. You don’t need to secretly take them in because all the big cinemas allow you to do this.
A.Bring your own snacks.
B.Treat yourself with the popcorn.
C.Ticket cost shouldn’t be a problem.
D.There are deals running that offer cut-price tickets.
E.Do check the normal selling price for your local cinema.
F.You can also save by buying cinema gift cards when they’re on sale.
G.There might also be certain days at some cinemas where all tickets are reduced further.

(24-25高一下·浙江温州·期末)
My Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock
Language difficulties. Culture shock. Homesickness (乡愁). 1 But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all.
After the experience of a year abroad, coming home can feel disappointing. Why was I feeling so disconnected? 2 I’d idealized (理想化) home in my mind. And I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. When I got back and the reality fell short of these ideals, I experienced what I’d call a reverse culture shock.
The idea might seem a bit over the top, especially for exchange students who have only spent a year or less away from home. But as you live in a new culture, you quickly adapt to a different way of life; meanwhile, you think life at home is no different. 3 Some friends have been apart from each other while others have become closer together.
When you arrive in an unknown place, it takes effort to adapt to your new environment. Your days are filled with new interests and busy schedule. 4 It seems strange to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand.
The feeling of disconnection can be hard to shake off. I kept wondering how long it would take to feel normal again. Getting a part-time job would eventually help relieve my own sense of disconnection. 5
Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad, but I’m starting to find a new normal.
A.However, everyone changes.
B.I’d lost interest in everything at home.
C.I realized I’d done two things while I was away.
D.Spending more time with family and friends also helped.
E.Most people experience these problems in their daily jobs.
F.These are the things you might worry about before studying abroad.
G.No surprise once the period is over, many exchange students feel at a loss.

(一些朋友彼此疏远了,而另一些朋友却走得更近了。)”可知前面说觉得国内生活不会变,后又说朋友变了,所以A选项“然而,每个人都在变。”起到承上启下的作用,并和上文构成转折关系,故选A。
4.上文“When you arrive in an unknown place, it takes effort to adapt to your new environment. Your days are filled with new interests and busy schedule. (当你来到一个陌生的地方,你需要努力去适应新环境。你的生活充满了新的兴趣和繁忙的日程。)”,下文“It seems strange to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand. (在我看来很奇怪,大学里没有人事先警告过你这件事。)”而G选项“毫无疑问,一旦学期结束,许多交换生感到不知所措。”和上文形成对比,并且下文中it指代的就是一旦学期结束,许多交换生感到不知所措这件事,符合题意,故选G。
5.根据上文“The feeling of disconnection can be hard to shake off. I kept wondering how long it would take to feel normal again. Getting a part-time job would eventually help relieve my own sense of disconnection. (这种与外界脱节的感觉很难摆脱。我一直在想要多久才能恢复正常。找一份兼职工作最终会帮助我减轻自己的疏离感。)”可推断下文应该是继续说怎样做去摆脱这种与外界脱节的感觉,所以D选项“花更多的时间和家人朋友在一起也有帮助。”符合题意,故选D。

Pet owners themselves report that their animal friends provide unconditional emotional support, help them develop social bonds and act as distractions from upsetting condition.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. 1 Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the earth can no longer sustain us?
2 The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment more friendly than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Since the 1960s, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars. 3 Our robots have explored the Martian surface, testing the soil and searching for resources, water and signs of life.
However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. 4 As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was a failure, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet.
Anyway, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. In the meantime, scientific research shows that the planet Earth is getting warmer. This change is being caused by human activity and is having a terrible effect on the globe. 5
A.That definitely is a big step forward.
B.Right now, it’s the only one we have.
C.One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them.
D.Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but isn’t impossible, as proved by scientists.
E.Our probes have orbited the planet, sending back valuable data and stunning images.
F.Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth.
G.Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take far better care of our own.

How to Simplify Housework
It can be frustrating when you feel like you spend more time cleaning, tidying up, and taking care of your house and belongings than actually enjoying them. 1 That said, with the following tips, you can simplify your housework and have a clean home without devoting all of your time to cleaning.
Have less stuff. 2 You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space.
3 When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items.
Keep up with cleaning regularly. When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house. 4 For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time. And mess won’t have a chance to really build up in the meantime.
Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of. Or what standards you are willing to relax to accept things as “good enough”. 5
A.Reset your house often.
B.Have an easy-to-access place for everything.
C.Everything you own requires some of your time.
D.Otherwise, you will be too busy to clean your house.
E.Dealing with a never-ending to-do list is exhausting.
F.The goal is to complete essential household chores to a comfortable standard.
G.That is simply because more mess, dirt, dust, etc. has had a chance to build up.

2.根据上文“Have less stuff.(少些杂物)”以及下文“You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space.(你得对其进行清理、妥善存放,并在需要时查找它。通过减少你拥有的物品数量,你就能减少需要关注的物品数量。这意味着需要清理的空间会变小,周围也需要清洁的物品也会减少。此外,拥有更少的物品有助于让生活空间看起来更整洁、更干净)”可知,本段主题是“减少物品数量”,下文说明“物品需要清洁、收纳和寻找”,本句解释“少拥有物品”的原因,故C选项“否则,你将会忙得无暇打扫房子”符合语境,故选C。
3.根据下文“When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items.(当每个物品都有固定的放置位置时,就能很容易地将物品放回原位。这大大减少了寻找丢失物品所花费的时间)”可知,下文提到“每件物品有固定位置,便于放回原处,减少寻找时间”,本句是本段核心观点,概括了“物品归位”的原则。故B选项“将所有物品放置在易于取用的地方”符合语境,故选B。
4.根据上文“When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house.(如果不定期完成家务活,那么打扫房间就会耗费更多的时间和精力)”以及下文“For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time.(例如,如果你每隔一两天就对浴室的台面进行快速擦拭,每次只需花费一两分钟即可)”可知,本段强调“定期清洁”,上文提到“不按时做家务会花费更多时间”,本句解释原因,与下文“每天快速擦拭浴室台面可避免污渍堆积”的例子呼应。故G选项“这仅仅是因为更多的杂乱、污垢、灰尘等有足够的时间得以堆积”符合语境,故选G。
5.根据上文“Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of.

Passage 2
(24-25高一下·浙江嘉兴·期末)
Mother’s Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers. 1 Based on my research and those of other psychologists, here are some tips for celebrating moms on Mother’s Day, and every day, to enhance (增强) well-being for both moms and their loved ones.
2 Psychology research suggests that Mother’s Day cards have it right — building a mother’s confidence by telling them that they’re amazing or that they always know how to make the family feel better can be greatly effective in enhancing moms’ happiness. 3 Compared to fathers, mothers generally report feeling more emotionally connected to their kids and more strongly identifying as a parent. A phone call with their kids can really improve a mom’s well-being.
The benefits of celebrating moms also reach their kids. 4 For example, my research has found that moms who are less stressed are seen by their adolescent kids as being better at understanding the kids’ ideas. When mothers feel positive, they have better communication with their kids and their kids feel better. That means it’s important to send appreciation mom’s way every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
Mothers are the main source of comfort and care for families around the world, yet it’s easy to take them for granted (想当然认为) most days across the year. 5 Helping moms feel happy will help the family feel happy, too.
A.So what can families do to enhance moms’ happiness?
B.Stress can also impact how attentive moms are to their family.
C.However, we don’t often hear about the benefits of celebrating moms.
D.Positive parents enhance children’s men tal well-being and social bonds.
E.Moms play an important role in shaping our identities and guiding our life.
F.While flowers on Mother’s Day are appreciated, let’s celebrate moms every day.
G.If you’re an adult living far away from your parents, don’t forget to call your mom.

Passage 3
(23-24高一下·浙江温州·期末)
There are two types of skills that managers look for in the interviews with job seekers: soft skills and hard skills. 1 Soft skills, unlike hard skills, are usually inborn or gained through personal development. They cover key personality-based aspects of what makes someone a good fit for a given role. Some examples of soft skills include: dependability, positive attitude, listening skills, emotional intelligence and so on. Soft skills are extremely important for job seekers to be considered right for the position. 2
Soft skills are harder to teach. Personality features like listening skills and decision-making skills are not transferable skills in the same way that many technical abilities are. Employers value someone with strong communication skills and other soft skills because those skills are much harder to teach.
Soft skills make hard skills easier to learn. 3 Specific skills like good verbal communication and dependability will make you ready to train hard skills, and thus grow quickly within a job.
4 If you are looking for a new job but don’t have much experience, showing your strong soft skills can ease doubt employers might have about you. A recent survey revealed that 89% of interviewers would choose an interviewee with excellent soft skills over one with experience.
Employers see soft skills beneficial to a job seeker’s future growth and care er success. 5
A.Hard skills matter in the interview.
B.Soft skills can help enrich experience.
C.Here are reasons why soft skills are important.
D.So, show them your soft skills in the interview.
E.Soft skills can make up for a lack of experience.
F.Having important soft skills helps you develop a set of hard skills.
G.Hard skills are job-specific skills learned through training programs.

Passage 1
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末)
π (Pi) Day falls on March 14. This is the day when mathematicians and geometry (几何学) lovers around the world get together and celebrate the mathematical constant (常数) of Pi.
1 Firstly, the date which can be represented numerically in the format 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of π. Besides, one of our greatest physicists Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1897. In 2018, the famous physicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day.
The earliest known celebration of Pi Day was organized by the physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, featuring eating different kinds of fruit pies. 2 The museum staff marched around a circular room, sang songs, and ate pie. News stories about the celebration spread the idea to schools, museums, and communities. In 2009, US House of Representatives officially named this special day — “Pi Day”.
Many people celebrate Pi Day with family and friends. 3 People make pizzas (round ones, of course) and bake cream pies. Some people even use a special pie pan shaped like the Greek letter π. They are also willing to drink pi-neapple juice. 4
Over thousands of years, people tried to unfold the puzzle behind this magic number. Before the appearance of modern computing technologies, mathematicians all over the world have made their efforts on calculating the approximation of Pi. 5 While Indian mathematician
Aryabhata approximated Pi to √ ̄9.8624 using the circumference of a polygon (多边形) with 384 sides. On 2019’s Pi Day, Google announced that the calculation of Pi has already reached 31.4 trillion decimal (小数的) places.
A.The most popular way is by eating pi-themed foods.
B.March 14 seems to be tightly connected with Science.
C.It was because “Pi” and “pie” sounded same in English.
D.The world record for memorizing pi is held by Chao Lu from China.
E.Chinese ancient mathematician Zu Chongzhi extended Pi to 7 decimal places.
F.Another celebration is to recite this amazing number with countless decimal places.

Passage 2
(24-24高一下·浙江绍兴·期末)
The digital divide means some people have the internet and technology, while others don’t. In the UK, 8 million people don’t use the internet. 1 As more things like banking and shopping go online, this gap makes inequality worse.
The internet can help a lot. It can give cheaper things and better services to people in the countryside or those who need help. 2 Therefore, they don’t know how to use technology or feel scared of it. Libraries and community classes help a little, but not enough.
3 Young people can teach older or excluded people basic tech skills. Hospitals and clinics are good places to start because many people who lack internet access go there for health reasons. For example, showing someone how to call family online or get their pension can make them more confident.
This helps in two ways. 4 When young and old share knowledge, communities become stronger. Testing such programs in areas with poor internet first, focusing on simple uses like staying in touch or getting services, can show how useful the internet is.
Fixing the digital divide is about making sure everyone belongs. By teaching tech skills with kindness and community support, we can help everyone join the digital world. 5
A.However, many of them stay offline.
B.A good solution is volunteering across generations.
C.Most of them are poor, old, or have health problems.
D.They could be unaware of the benefits of the internet.
E.The aim is a society where technology unites, not divides.
F.It bridges the digital gap and brings different generations together.
G.The internet has the potential to bring about positive change to people’s lives.

Passage 3
(24-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Have you ever felt that life is already planned out for you — go to school, get a job, get married, raise a child? 1 However, the idea of “escaping the Matrix” is not about leaving reality, but about waking up from a system (inspired by the film The Matrix《黑客帝国》) that quietly shapes how we think, choose, and live. It means seeing through social rules and media influence, and making choices that truly belong to you.
A good first step is learning to notice these unseen influences around you. 2 They often push certain ideas while hiding others. When you begin to ask, “Do I really believe this, or am I just repeating it?”, you start to take back control. This moment of doubt may seem small, but it can change the way you see everything.
However, questioning is only the beginning. 3 Reading about philosophy, history, or different cultures allows you to compare what you’ve learned with what you’ve always believed. But simple knowledge isn’t enough — true freedom comes when you see how much of your thinking was never really your own. This kind of shift can feel like a personal revolution.
That said, clear thinking is hard to achieve if you’re always online. Many apps are built to keep you watching, liking, and scrolling, not thinking. Limiting your screen time or deleting certain apps might feel uncomfortable at first. 4
Real escape isn’t about being alone, though. It’s about finding meaningful connections that aren’t built on social pressure. Talk with people who challenge your ideas. Be present when you listen. Notice how you feel and what you need. 5 And the more real your connections become, the less power the Matrix has over you.
A.Only in silence can you hear your own voice.
B.Filling your mind with new knowledge is also important.
C.Many people move from one step to the next without asking why.
D.Some people believe escaping the Matrix means living without any technology.
E.Moreover, connecting with others online can also offer meaningful relationships.
F.This kind of authentic contact stands in sharp contrast to the roles we’re told to play.
G.Much of what we believe is shaped by headlines, trends, and the voices we hear online.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨“逃离矩阵”的含义,即摆脱社会规则束缚,做出真正属于自己的选择。
1.根据上文“Have you ever felt that life is already planned out for you — go to school, get a job, get married, raise a child? (你是否曾觉得人生早已被规划好——上学、工作、结婚、养育孩子?)”以及下文“However, the idea of “escaping the Matrix” is not about leaving reality, but about waking up from a system (inspired by the film The Matrix《黑客帝国》) that quietly shapes how we think, choose, and live. (然而,“逃离矩阵”的理念并非指脱离现实,而是指从一个(受电影《黑客帝国》启发的)体系中觉醒——这个体系在悄然塑造我们的思维、选择和生活方式。)”可知,此空应说明人们按部就班生活的现象。C选项“Many people move from one step to the next without asking why. (许多人按部就班地生活,从不问为什么。)”中的“move from one step to the next”对应上文人生规划的各个阶段,“without asking why”与下文“escaping the Matrix”形成对比,符合语境。故选C项。
2.根据上文“A good first step is learning to notice these unseen influences around you. (一个好的第一步是学会注意你周围这些看不见的影响。)”以及下文“They often push certain ideas while hiding others. (它们常常在隐藏其他观点的同时,推销某些观点。)”可知,此空应具体说明周围看不见的影响的来源。G选项“Much of what we believe is shaped by headlines, trends, and the voices we hear online. (我们的许多信念是由头条新闻、潮流和我们在网上听到的声音塑造的。)”中的“headlines, trends, and the voices we hear online”是对上文“unseen influences”的具体举例,“shaped”对应下文“push certain ideas”,符合语境。故选G项。
3.根据上文“However, questioning is only the beginning. (然而,质疑只是开始。)”以及下文“Reading about philosophy, history, or different cultures allows you to compare what you’ve learned with what you’ve always believed. (阅读哲学、历史或不同文化的书籍,可以让你将所学与一直以来的信念进行比较。)”可知,此空应说明除质疑外,充实新知识的重要性。B选项“Filling your mind with new knowledge is also important. (用新知识充实头脑也很重要。)”中的“also important”与上文“only the beginning”形成递进关系,“Filling your mind with new knowledge”对应下文“Reading about philosophy, history, or different cultures”,符合语境。故选B项。
4.根据上文“Many apps are built to keep you watching, liking, and scrolling, not thinking. Limiting your screen time or deleting certain apps might feel uncomfortable at first. (许多应用程序的设计是为了让你观看、点赞和滚动屏幕,而不是思考。限制屏幕时间或删除某些应用程序起初可能会让人感到不适。)”可知,此空应说明减少上网时间后能倾听自我的声音。A选项“Only in silence can you hear your own voice. (只有在寂静中,你才能听到自己的声音。)”中的“silence”对应“limiting your screen time”,“hear your own voice”体现了减少网络干扰后对自我的认知,符合语境。故选A项。
5.根据上文“Real escape isn’t about being alone, though. It’s about finding meaningful connections that aren’t built on social pressure. Talk with people who challenge your ideas. Be present when you listen. Notice how you feel and what you need. (真正的逃离并非意味着独处,而是要去建立并非基于社会压力的、有意义的联结。与那些能挑战你想法的人交谈,倾听时专注当下,留意自己的感受和需求。)”以及下文“And the more real your connections become, the less power the Matrix has over you. (你的人际关系越真实,“矩阵”对你的控制力就越小。)”可知,此空应强调真实人际关系与社会设定角色的对比。F选项“This kind of authentic contact stands in sharp contrast to the roles we’re told to play. (这种真实的接触与我们被要求扮演的角色形成鲜明对比。)”中的“This kind of authentic contact”指代上文“meaningful connections”,“stands in sharp contrast to the roles”呼应“escaping the Matrix”的主题,符合语境。故选F项。
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末)
Being kind has kind of gotten a bad fame recently. Maybe you’ve heard that if you are kind, people will take advantage of you or take you for granted. Or that no good deed goes unpunished. Yes, many people seem to somehow equal kindness to weakness or deficiency. But that’s missing the point. 1 .
Why do others not respect you and even try to take advantage of you? Usually, it’s more about them than you. Maybe they are fearful. Fear can do a number on people. 2 . The “self-protection” forces them to prevent anyone from doing, basically, anything.
Then they may have low self-esteem. Deep down, many people don’t believe that they actually deserve kindness. 3 . Or they might have unresolved pain. When people are in pain, they may feel the need to blow up at others. And it may be casier to attack someone who is kind than someone who is mean.
4 . Some people are genuine 100% all-natural, bad people. They can subscribe to the “it’s all about me, all the time” philosophy that ranks kindness somewhere below belly button lint in their list of things to be respected.
All these are actually reasons why exhibiting genuine kindness is a sign of strength. It means you are able to overcome any type of fear, inferiority (自卑), or internal pain that you may have. 5 . And you know you have the strength to overcome such thing. Helping others is not as easy but, frankly, is a lot more fulfilling. So, why not be more kind, genuinely kind?
A.The fact is the opposite
B.Actually, to be truly kind takes strength and power
C.Another case is that they are actually self-centered guys
D.It means you are willing to risk being taken advantage of
E.It means you are driven by an internal compass but not an external one
F.This feeling motivates them to wrap themselves in layers of defense mechanisms
G.If you are acting kind to them, they may think there must be something wrong with you

4.由下文“Some people are genuine 100% all-natural, bad people. They can subscribe to the “it’s all about me, all the time” philosophy that ranks kindness somewhere below belly button lint in their list of things to be respected.

Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Does your teenager seem addicted to the Internet? Probably yes. 1 At first, parents welcome the Internet into their homes, believing they are opening up an exciting new world of educational chances for their children. 2 Instead of using the Internet for homework or research, they are spending hours messaging with friends, playing online games or talking to strangers in chat rooms.
Keeping a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children’s lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. 3
However, parents are usually not aware that there is a problem until it becomes serious. This is because it is easy to hide what you are doing online and Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community.
Children and young people can easily become hooked on online activities such as multi-player games, instant messaging and chat rooms. The most vulnerable children are those who are unpopular or shy with peers. 1 Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they assume new identities and interact with other players. For the children who are not so outgoing, playing these games with thousands of other users may apparently be a social activity. 2 . So parents need to help children limit the online time to an appropriate amount.
A.That is especially obvious when it comes to online social games.
B.In fact, playing too much can further keep them away from friends and peers.
C.The amount of time teenagers spend online is a source of concern for many parents.
D.But numerous parents don’t discover this worrying situation and ignore it naturally.
E.However, many parents soon realize that their kids were gradually becoming Internet addicts.
F.The engaging nature of the Internet makes many children lose track of time when they’re online.
G.They can be easily attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities.

Passage 6
(23-24高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
It’s believed that knowing the best way to behave in common situations improves the quality of everyday life and that of people around you. 1 . As a result, it’s quite necessary to go over the situations that require good manners from time to time.
On public transport
Always ask yourself, “Is there someone who needs your seat more? Is there an older person who need help getting off the bus? Are your feet or your bag taking up a space some one else could use?” These simple manners may not seem that important, but you might make someone’s day. 2 .
At a new friend’s house
3 . That is why it’s useful to have some universal rules to follow. Think about keeping your mouth closed when you chew, or waiting until you’ve finished your mouthful before speaking. If your friend usually sets the table before the meal, then help out or offer to clear the plates afterwards.
4
You tend to reach for your phone during a conversation because you’re anxious to check the incoming messages. Not giving in to it shows that you value the time you have with your friends. More importantly, it enriches the quality of the conversation, and might even encourage your friends to put their phones way.
When you forget.

(24-25高一下·浙江嘉兴·期末)
Being a responsible digital citizen (公民) is becoming more and more recognized among people. That means using technology correctly and operating online safely. Here are several useful tips to guide you.
Always behave politely online. For example, if you disagree with someone, stay calm instead of using rude or aggressive language, as it tends to be misunderstood. Do not take part in cyberbullying. 1 Support those who are bullied and report harmful behavior.

Follow the law. There are specific legal rights and rules governing the use of electronic technologies. 3 So please don’t steal others’ data, money online. And don’t download games, music or movies that were made illegally.

How to Quiet a Complainer (抱怨者)
Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. But you may not be brave enough to stop her. 1
Change the subject.
2 If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently (目前的) on.
Summarize (总结) the complaint.
If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard and I understand how you feel?” Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. 3 Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across.
4
When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. You don’t need excuses such as a work deadline or a dentist appointment. You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down–especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
Have a heart-to-heart talk.
When it’s someone very close to you — your partner, sibling, or best friend — who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important that you take steps to deal with the situation. 5 Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person.
A.Try to be honest.
B.Challenge the person to talk.
C.Avoid saying the word complaining.
D.The problems start when complaining becomes a habit.
E.It’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart.
F.In fact, there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument.
G.Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them.

(24-25高一下·浙江丽水·期末)
How to build a healthy self-image
Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. 1 Here are some ways you can build a healthy self-image.
Praise others sincerely. Did you notice something good in another person? Praise it. The more you’re able to celebrate the positive experience of others, the more secure you’ll feel with yourself. 2 This practice of praising others can also help fight against the feelings of low self-worth.
Experience and express gratitude. Practicing gratitude is another way to fight the unkind inner voice that may shape your self-image. Try starting a gratitude journal — this will encourage you to lay out the good things you’re thankful for. As you’re writing a journal, try to notice what you’re grateful for and what role you play in those things. 3
4 We’ll grow and change in our lives as time goes by. But if you put in effort, that growth can happen faster and more effectively. Meanwhile, a big part of growth is being patient with yourself. For example, if you start a meditation (冥想), don’t expect to sit for half an hour right away. With more practice, meditating for 10 or 20 minutes daily could be your new routine.
Take social media breaks. While it’s a big part of our lives, social media can be a huge contributing factor to our self-image. On social media, people tend to show themselves in their best states and not their unfavorable ones. 5 That’s why it’s important to take breaks from the digital world.
It’s a continual process to develop a healthy self-image, but through meaningful practices, you can find a better self.
A.Set strict goals for self-growth.
B.Take action for self-growth with patience.
C.These actions contribute to a positive self-view.
D.Self-image is the personal view that we have of ourselves.
E.So, we will look down on ourselves if we’re looking at it too much.
F.A healthy self-image can improve our physical and mental well-being.
G.By shining a light of positivity on others, it often reflects back onto you.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波海曙区宁波荣安实验中学·期末)
Hiking is a fun way to get some fresh air and exercise. Here are a few simple tips to make sure your next hiking trip is both safe and enjoyable.
Hike with at least one other person. Not only is hiking more fun with a friend, it is also safer. 1 If you decide to hike alone, make sure that you let someone know where you are going and when you plan to be back. This way, if you get lost or injured, someone will know where to look for you and when to send help.
Have plenty of water. Even if you are only going for a short hike, it is important to have lots of water on hand so that you avoid dehydration (脱水). Plan to bring one liter of water per person per hour of hiking. 2 So make sure to drink your water frequently, even if you are not very thirsty.
Wear correct kinds of clothing. You should wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes and thick socks. Your clothing should be comfortable and easy to move around in. Clothing that is too loose might catch on rocks or branches. 3
4 If you have not exercised in a very long time, do not try to go on an 8-mile hike up a mountain on the hottest day of the year, Instead, you should start gradually. First, go for regular walks in your neighborhood. Next, you should try to find places to walk on steep hills or rocky soil. 5
A.Don’t take a too long trip at a time.
B.Make sure that your body is prepared.
C.You can begin to dehydrate before you even realize it.
D.If you get injured, your friend will be able to go and get help.
E.But clothing that is too tight might become uncomfortable as you walk.
F.With enough practice, you can take longer hikes across more challenging landscapes.
G.If you are going on a long hike, you might want to bring an extra pair of socks just in case.
Passage 5
(24-25高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
Enjoy Every Moment of Life
“Life is precious.... To a person nothing is more precious than their life.” 1 Many people rush through life going after big goals without stopping to appreciate the small joys around them. By learning to appreciate the present, we can find happiness in ordinary things. Here are some ways to embrace (拥抱) life fully.
Start your day with gratitude. When you wake up, think of three things you’re thankful for. 2 It could be sunshine, a warm bed, or a friend’s smile. This simple practice helps you begin the day positively and changes your mindset toward contentment.
Stop worrying too much about the future. 3 For example, instead of anxiously thinking about exams, focus on preparing well today. Remember, the future is shaped by what we do now, and excessive stress only robs you of present joy.
4 Take time to notice the world around you — the sound of birds singing, the smell of fresh bread, or the feeling of wind on your face. These small moments make life beautiful and remind us how magical everyday experiences can be.
Be kind to yourself and others. Everyone faces challenges, but kindness makes difficulties easier to bear. Showing kindness to yourself gently reduces the sadness within. 5 When you spread positivity, you’ll find life becomes more joyful and meaningful, creating a ripple effect of goodwill.
Life is short, but by living mindfully, we can make every moment count. So pause, breathe, and cherish the gift of each new day.
A.It doesn’t have to be something big.
B.Slow down and enjoy simple pleasures.
C.Focus on the present and let go of worries.
D.Helping others also brings happiness to yourself.
E.However, planning ahead is still necessary for success.
F.Therefore, we should value each day and live it to the fullest.
G.They forget that happiness lies in the journey, not just the destination.
Passage 6

How to manage digital anger
We’ve all been there: you come across a comment on Facebook, or a headline pops up on X that leaves you feeling angry. So, what can we do to reduce our digital anger? Here are some tips.
Organize Your Digital Experience.
Consider blocking people instead of taking part in arguments. Create a digital “safe space” for relaxation. You might want to use different platforms for specific purposes—like using Facebook for friends and Twitter for news–so you know what to expect and can react accordingly. 1
Step Away from the Screen.
If discussions become heated, take a physical break from your screen. 1 Stepping away can also improve your mood and reduce stress. When you return, you’ll think more clearly and engage with a calmer mindset.
2
Don’t rush to respond to views that are different from yours. Take a moment to calm down, which may lead to clearer, more peaceful responses. It’s important to remember that not every comment needs a response. When faced with rude content, consider reporting it rather than responding directly.
Find Healthy Outlets for Anger.
There’s nothing wrong with feeling angry, but still you need to deal with it properly. A good way is to express your anger through diary writing. 1 . It can help you clarify your disappointment and then guide you toward positive actions.
Consider Talking with Someone.
If your emotions are negatively impacting you, looking for help from an expert can be beneficial. 1 It can also help you explore your feelings and increase self-awareness, supporting better mental health.
A.Think before posting.
B.Focus on what matters.
C.Writing helps process emotions.
D.It is common to feel angry sometimes.
E.A break can prevent regrettable comments.
F.Talking to a professional can offer new ideas.
G.This helps avoid trouble and keeps the online environment positive.
Passage 7
(23-24高一下·浙江湖州·期末)
Sometimes dealing with your emotions can feel overwhelming. When life is stressful, it’s easy to give in to feelings of anger or depression. 1 There are ways to better cope with your negative feelings.
Understand your emotional needs.
In order to manage your emotions, you need to fully understand them. All of us have certain emotional needs that are just as important as our physical needs. Spend some time taking an inventory of the emotional needs that are most important to you. For example, some important emotional needs are feeling in control, feeling respected, and feeling comfort. 1
Know the causes.
When things aren’t going your way, it is very common to feel anger. Maybe your boss criticized you for careless work on a project. You might feel that you are not being respected, because you spent months creating a great product. 1 Knowing the things that set off negative emotions is an important part of remaining in control.
2
When you know that something is causing a negative emotion, try to shift your focus away from it. Instead, refocus on something positive to help you regain your calmness. Perhaps feeling out of control is one of your triggers. When you are in a traffic jam and running late, you are likely to feel frustration and anger. To improve the situation, turn on your favorite CD for just such an occasion.
Calm down.
When experiencing very strong emotions, it can be difficult to think and act reasonably. When you are angry or frightened, your body goes into a flight or fight mode, which can cause you to react emotionally instead of logically. 1 So it is important to learn to calm yourself down when you are experiencing negative emotions. One of the effective ways is to take deep breaths. Focusing on your breathing will help you calm down, physically and emotionally.
A.Shift your focus.
B.Take a time-out.
C.Not feeling respected is probably what causes your anger.
D.This type of response is generally not helpful in work or social life.
E.Once you know the causes, you can use that to regain happiness.
F.However, you will feel better if you can learn to manage your emotions.
G.If your brain feels one of those needs is not being met, that can cause the negative emotions.
Passage 8
(23-24高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Summer — Ready
The weather is starting to warm up now. 1 However, if your patio (露台) isn't currently tidy or stylish, the following advice will get it in tip-top shape in time for the summer.
●Prepare your patio.
First things first: the patio itself. If yours is looking a little untidy, then bring out the pressure washer and give it a good wash to get it looking more attractive. If it's still looking terrible for use, the answer lies in an outdoor carpet (地毯) . 2 So throw one down for instant style and your guests will be none the wiser.
●Get the right furniture.
Having invitingly comfortable seats to sit in is a sure way to make you a popular host, so get the right furniture for your needs. If you have limited space, choose a space-saving sofa or dining set — one that can fold away or that has a cube design, by which the chairs can be pushed right inside the table after use. 3
●Create a cooking space.
4 It can't go without a barbecue, so make sure you have one! Barbecuing is the perfect way to make your delicious food centre stage and is ideal for socializing: the barbecue shelves provide somewhere for your guests to put down their drinks and enjoy plates of summer snacks while you cook up a storm in the middle.
● 5
Adding plants in attractive pots can make a big difference to any space, so place some in your patio here and there. These colourful pots will add a bright, sunny air for your summer party. If you really want to make it impressive, you can also add hanging lanterns above your outdoor dining table for romantic dinners at dusk that your guests will never forget.
A.Keep an eye on the weather.
B.Make an atmosphere in the air.
C.Carpets come in all styles and sizes.
D.These magic carpets will cover up the truth.
E.So outdoor summer parties will soon be in full swing.
F.A summer party is like the outdoor version of a kitchen diner.
G.For larger patios, spacious sofa sets give a hugely welcoming feel.
Passage 9
(23-24高一下·浙江金华·期末)
If you have experienced awkward situations, you’re definitely not alone. 1 Thus, it’s helpful to have strategies to help us deal with things as gracefully as possible. Here are my top tips for overcoming awkwardness.
2 Doing or saying something awkward or embarrassing can make us feel like the entire world has noticed. This is caused by a phenomenon called the Spotlight Effect, where we think people notice and remember more about our appearance and behavior than they do. Reminding yourself that “Nobody will remember this tomorrow” can help you react to an awkward moment more wisely.
Don’t take all the blame. 3 They’re something that you create with other people. That’s what makes them social. If you’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable, it’s easy to take all of the blame for that on yourself. Reminding yourself that you can’t control everything in a social situation can make it easier for you to forgive yourself for awkward situations.
Try to see the funny side. This is one of the most powerful tools I’ve found for overcoming awkwardness. Finding the humor in the situation lets me feel better and helps the people around me feel more comfortable. 4 Laughing, even at yourself, when someone’s been hurt or upset can come across as mean.
Accept the risk of awkwardness. Learning something new almost always comes with the risk of getting it wrong. This means that if you want to improve your social skills, you will probably have to deal with some awkwardness. Rather than trying to avoid all awkward situations, try to see them as part of how you learn. 5 In fact, being awkward can make you more likable.
A.Be kind to your past self.
B.But be careful about how you use it.
C.This is part of becoming socially skilled.
D.It’s not possible to avoid them completely.
E.Remember that others don’t pay much attention to you.
F.This can be a real struggle when you’re feeling awkward.
G.Social situations are almost always a shared responsibility.
Passage 10
(24-25高一下·浙江台州·期末)
Scrolling through social media often makes us feel left behind by others’ seemingly perfect lives. While admiration for others’ achievements is natural, constant comparison can harm your confidence. Here are practical solutions:
1 It’s hard to compare yourself to others if you’re crystal clear about your personal values. For example, if family time matters most, don’t measure yourself against career-driven people. Write down what success means to you and revisit the list whenever envy strikes.
Replace comparison with curiosity. When seeing others’ achievements, ask “What skills can I learn from them?”. A classmate’s high scores could inspire better study methods rather than self-doubt. 2
Be selective about social media. Social media can be both a blessing (恩赐) and a curse, depending on how you use it. 3 Follow those sharing real struggles and positive messages instead. Taking care of what you see on social media can help keep you calm.
Set daily time limits for social media. 4 Activities like hiking, cooking with family, or quiet reading build real happiness that no “likes” can replace. Physical world connections reduce screen addiction.
Practice gratitude to break the comparison cycle. Each night, write three things you’re thankful for — a good grade, a friend’s kindness, or sunny weather. 5
Remember, someone else’s success doesn’t erase yours. Run your own race guided by your values. Start building mental strength today!
A.Develop your own understanding of success.
B.Real fulfillment comes from offline experiences.
C.Establish measurable goals for self-development.
D.This mindset turns anxiety into chances for growth.
E.Social media requires strict time management strategies.
F.Unfollow accounts showing unrealistic beauty or wealth.
G.This simple habit trains your brain to focus on existing blessings.

(23-24高一下·浙江丽水·期末)
Even though it’s never been easier to see the latest movies at home, there’s still nothing quite like watching a film in the dark of the cinema on the biggest screen possible. 1 There are a number of ways you can bring the cost down to make it more affordable, whether it’s an occasional treat or regular activity.
Avoid high-priced tickets
The most expensive tickets are going to be on peak times, which will usually run from Friday night until Sunday evening. But if you have the flexibility to go midweek or in the daytime you’ll hopefully find lower prices. 2 It’ll depend on which cinema you have near you.
Consider a membership
Some cinema memberships also offer free tickets and then discounts on future visits, so they’re worth looking at if you know you’ll make the money back. But if you are going at least twice a month then the all-you-can-watch memberships can be fantastic value. However, one disadvantage is that if you want to see a film at a different chain you’ll be paying again. 3
Use discounted gift cards
4 Or you can use cashback apps like Jam Doughnut and Hyper Jar to buy the gift cards and get a percentage back. What’s good about these is that they stack with other offers, such as Meerkat Movies and silver screenings, so you save twice.
5
Finally, armed with your cheap cinema tickets, don’t ruin all your good work by buying the popcorn at the cinema. The price is always high. But it can be easily avoided by hitting a supermarket beforehand to buy much cheaper treats. You don’t need to secretly take them in because all the big cinemas allow you to do this.
A.Bring your own snacks.
B.Treat yourself with the popcorn.
C.Ticket cost shouldn’t be a problem.
D.There are deals running that offer cut-price tickets.
E.Do check the normal selling price for your local cinema.
F.You can also save by buying cinema gift cards when they’re on sale.
G.There might also be certain days at some cinemas where all tickets are reduced further.

Going on a solo travel adventure is more than just a holiday. 1 The decision to explore the world alone opens the door to a number of experiences that can reshape your life attitudes, build your confidence, and enrich your life in ways you may have never imagined! Here are some ways that solo traveling can change your life.
2 It might mean overcoming language difficulties, finding your way through confusing public transportation systems, or making quick decisions. The decisions you make, from choosing destinations to exploring unfamiliar streets, are totally your own. In this process, you discover aspects of yourself that may have remained unknown in your daily life.
One of the most enriching aspects of solo travel is the opportunity to experience different cultures. 3 Whether it’s starting a conversation with a street vendor (摊贩) or sharing a meal with locals, solo travel provides a unique window into the cultural makeup of each destination.
Solo travel is a constant exercise in adaptability and problem-solving. From understanding foreign languages to managing unexpected changes in plans, you are regularly faced with problems that demand creative solutions. 4
Solo travel is a journey of self-reliance and independence. As you go through the headaches of planning and making a trip on your own, you surely build a deep sense of self-confidence. 5 You have to rely on yourself to choose the next destination, manage your money and solve unexpected problems.
Solo travel is an exploration of the self, an opportunity for cultural immersion (浸润), and a spark for personal growth. The impact of solo travel extends beyond the length of your trip, leaving you with a set of skills, perspectives, and memories that will last a lifetime.
A.Solo travel forces you out of your comfort zone.
B.Being alone makes you more approachable to locals.
C.The challenges sometimes make you feel frustrated.
D.It’s a journey of self-discovery, growth and transformation.
E.The decisions, both big and small, are entirely yours to make.
F.The lessons learned on the road translate into increased self-respect.
G.These problem-solving skills become valuable wealth in your everyday life.

My Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock
Language difficulties. Culture shock. Homesickness (乡愁). 1 But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all.
After the experience of a year abroad, coming home can feel disappointing. Why was I feeling so disconnected? 2 I’d idealized (理想化) home in my mind. And I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. When I got back and the reality fell short of these ideals, I experienced what I’d call a reverse culture shock.
The idea might seem a bit over the top, especially for exchange students who have only spent a year or less away from home. But as you live in a new culture, you quickly adapt to a different way of life; meanwhile, you think life at home is no different. 3 Some friends have been apart from each other while others have become closer together.
When you arrive in an unknown place, it takes effort to adapt to your new environment. Your days are filled with new interests and busy schedule. 4 It seems strange to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand.
The feeling of disconnection can be hard to shake off. I kept wondering how long it would take to feel normal again. Getting a part-time job would eventually help relieve my own sense of disconnection. 5
Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad, but I’m starting to find a new normal.
A.However, everyone changes.
B.I’d lost interest in everything at home.
C.I realized I’d done two things while I was away.
D.Spending more time with family and friends also helped.
E.Most people experience these problems in their daily jobs.
F.These are the things you might worry about before studying abroad.
G.No surprise once the period is over, many exchange students feel at a loss.

The Surprising Health Benefits of Pet Ownership
Nowadays, more and more people like to keep pets, such as dogs, cats and so on. Pets are more than just furry companions. They can significantly boost our physical and mental well-being. 1 .
They keep you active. If you have a dog, chances are you’re walking it at least 30 minutes a day — an activity that goes a long way towards keeping you fit. In fact, a British study of dog owners found that, on average, walking a pup added an about 20 more minutes of physical activity per day than non-dog owners get. 2 . According to a survey of 6,500 retired British, dog owners were more likely to have an easier time falling asleep at night than non-dog owners.
They better your immune (免疫的) system. Research shows that children who live with pets from birth have lower rates of allergies (过敏), and the more animals in the house, the greater the protection. 3 . Even in adulthood, there’s new evidence to suggest pets may have a positive effect on our health, both mental and physical.
They lower your risk of a heart attack. Researchers at the University of Minnesota tracked 4,000 people and found that cat owners had a 30 percent lower risk of dying of a heart attack. What accounts for the lower risk? It is because cats’ nature has a calming effect. Spending time with a pet lowers stress. 4 .
5 A number of studies have shown that pet ownership is beneficial for people with depression, anxiety, and other long-term mental health conditions. Pet owners themselves report that their animal friends provide unconditional emotional support, help them develop social bonds and act as distractions from upsetting condition.
A.They improve your social ability.
B.They improve your mental health.
C.This immunity benefit doesn’t stop in childhood.
D.This regular exercise helps keep a healthy weight.
E.It is an important contributor to heart disease.
F.Here are the four reasons why your pet is worth an extra treat today.
G.Moreover, regular exercise from pet care may also improve sleep quality.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. 1 Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the earth can no longer sustain us?
2 The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment more friendly than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Since the 1960s, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars. 3 Our robots have explored the Martian surface, testing the soil and searching for resources, water and signs of life.
However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. 4 As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was a failure, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet.
Anyway, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. In the meantime, scientific research shows that the planet Earth is getting warmer. This change is being caused by human activity and is having a terrible effect on the globe. 5
A.That definitely is a big step forward.
B.Right now, it’s the only one we have.
C.One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them.
D.Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but isn’t impossible, as proved by scientists.
E.Our probes have orbited the planet, sending back valuable data and stunning images.
F.Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth.
G.Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take far better care of our own.

How to Simplify Housework
It can be frustrating when you feel like you spend more time cleaning, tidying up, and taking care of your house and belongings than actually enjoying them. 1 That said, with the following tips, you can simplify your housework and have a clean home without devoting all of your time to cleaning.
Have less stuff. 2 You have to clean it, put it away, and search for it when needed. By reducing the number of belongings you have, you will decrease the number of items that require your attention. This also means less stuff to move to clean under and less stuff to clean around. Additionally, having less stuff contributes to a visually cleaner and tidier living space.
3 When each item has a fixed spot, it is easy to put things back where they belong. This significantly reduces the time spent searching for misplaced items.
Keep up with cleaning regularly. When you don’t keep up with chores at regular times, it takes more time and effort to clean your house. 4 For example, if you give your bathroom counters a quick wipe every day or two, it’ll only take a minute or two each time. And mess won’t have a chance to really build up in the meantime.
Embrace good enough. Everyone’s understanding of “good enough” may vary based on personal preferences. It’s advisable to decide what truly matters to you and what you are willing to let go of. Or what standards you are willing to relax to accept things as “good enough”. 5
A.Reset your house often.
B.Have an easy-to-access place for everything.
C.Everything you own requires some of your time.
D.Otherwise, you will be too busy to clean your house.
E.Dealing with a never-ending to-do list is exhausting.
F.The goal is to complete essential household chores to a comfortable standard.
G.That is simply because more mess, dirt, dust, etc. has had a chance to build up.

Mother’s Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers. 1 Based on my research and those of other psychologists, here are some tips for celebrating moms on Mother’s Day, and every day, to enhance (增强) well-being for both moms and their loved ones.
2 Psychology research suggests that Mother’s Day cards have it right — building a mother’s confidence by telling them that they’re amazing or that they always know how to make the family feel better can be greatly effective in enhancing moms’ happiness. 3 Compared to fathers, mothers generally report feeling more emotionally connected to their kids and more strongly identifying as a parent. A phone call with their kids can really improve a mom’s well-being.
The benefits of celebrating moms also reach their kids. 4 For example, my research has found that moms who are less stressed are seen by their adolescent kids as being better at understanding the kids’ ideas. When mothers feel positive, they have better communication with their kids and their kids feel better. That means it’s important to send appreciation mom’s way every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
Mothers are the main source of comfort and care for families around the world, yet it’s easy to take them for granted (想当然认为) most days across the year. 5 Helping moms feel happy will help the family feel happy, too.
A.So what can families do to enhance moms’ happiness?
B.Stress can also impact how attentive moms are to their family.
C.However, we don’t often hear about the benefits of celebrating moms.
D.Positive parents enhance children’s men tal well-being and social bonds.
E.Moms play an important role in shaping our identities and guiding our life.
F.While flowers on Mother’s Day are appreciated, let’s celebrate moms every day.
G.If you’re an adult living far away from your parents, don’t forget to call your mom.

There are two types of skills that managers look for in the interviews with job seekers: soft skills and hard skills. 1 Soft skills, unlike hard skills, are usually inborn or gained through personal development. They cover key personality-based aspects of what makes someone a good fit for a given role. Some examples of soft skills include: dependability, positive attitude, listening skills, emotional intelligence and so on. Soft skills are extremely important for job seekers to be considered right for the position. 2
Soft skills are harder to teach. Personality features like listening skills and decision-making skills are not transferable skills in the same way that many technical abilities are. Employers value someone with strong communication skills and other soft skills because those skills are much harder to teach.
Soft skills make hard skills easier to learn. 3 Specific skills like good verbal communication and dependability will make you ready to train hard skills, and thus grow quickly within a job.
4 If you are looking for a new job but don’t have much experience, showing your strong soft skills can ease doubt employers might have about you. A recent survey revealed that 89% of interviewers would choose an interviewee with excellent soft skills over one with experience.
Employers see soft skills beneficial to a job seeker’s future growth and care er success. 5
A.Hard skills matter in the interview.
B.Soft skills can help enrich experience.
C.Here are reasons why soft skills are important.
D.So, show them your soft skills in the interview.
E.Soft skills can make up for a lack of experience.
F.Having important soft skills helps you develop a set of hard skills.
G.Hard skills are job-specific skills learned through training programs.

π (Pi) Day falls on March 14. This is the day when mathematicians and geometry (几何学) lovers around the world get together and celebrate the mathematical constant (常数) of Pi.
1 Firstly, the date which can be represented numerically in the format 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of π. Besides, one of our greatest physicists Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1897. In 2018, the famous physicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day.
The earliest known celebration of Pi Day was organized by the physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988, featuring eating different kinds of fruit pies. 2 The museum staff marched around a circular room, sang songs, and ate pie. News stories about the celebration spread the idea to schools, museums, and communities. In 2009, US House of Representatives officially named this special day — “Pi Day”.
Many people celebrate Pi Day with family and friends. 3 People make pizzas (round ones, of course) and bake cream pies. Some people even use a special pie pan shaped like the Greek letter π. They are also willing to drink pi-neapple juice. 4
Over thousands of years, people tried to unfold the puzzle behind this magic number. Before the appearance of modern computing technologies, mathematicians all over the world have made their efforts on calculating the approximation of Pi. 5 While Indian mathematician
Aryabhata approximated Pi to √ ̄9.8624 using the circumference of a polygon (多边形) with 384 sides. On 2019’s Pi Day, Google announced that the calculation of Pi has already reached 31.4 trillion decimal (小数的) places.
A.The most popular way is by eating pi-themed foods.
B.March 14 seems to be tightly connected with Science.
C.It was because “Pi” and “pie” sounded same in English.
D.The world record for memorizing pi is held by Chao Lu from China.
E.Chinese ancient mathematician Zu Chongzhi extended Pi to 7 decimal places.
F.Another celebration is to recite this amazing number with countless decimal places.
G.Pic an also be used to calculate the volume of something shaped like a ball or a tube.

The digital divide means some people have the internet and technology, while others don’t. In the UK, 8 million people don’t use the internet. 1 As more things like banking and shopping go online, this gap makes inequality worse.
The internet can help a lot. It can give cheaper things and better services to people in the countryside or those who need help. 2 Therefore, they don’t know how to use technology or feel scared of it. Libraries and community classes help a little, but not enough.
3 Young people can teach older or excluded people basic tech skills. Hospitals and clinics are good places to start because many people who lack internet access go there for health reasons. For example, showing someone how to call family online or get their pension can make them more confident.
This helps in two ways. 4 When young and old share knowledge, communities become stronger. Testing such programs in areas with poor internet first, focusing on simple uses like staying in touch or getting services, can show how useful the internet is.
Fixing the digital divide is about making sure everyone belongs. By teaching tech skills with kindness and community support, we can help everyone join the digital world. 5
A.However, many of them stay offline.
B.A good solution is volunteering across generations.
C.Most of them are poor, old, or have health problems.
D.They could be unaware of the benefits of the internet.
E.The aim is a society where technology unites, not divides.
F.It bridges the digital gap and brings different generations together.
G.The internet has the potential to bring about positive change to people’s lives.
Passage 3
(24-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Have you ever felt that life is already planned out for you — go to school, get a job, get married, raise a child? 1 However, the idea of “escaping the Matrix” is not about leaving reality, but about waking up from a system (inspired by the film The Matrix《黑客帝国》) that quietly shapes how we think, choose, and live. It means seeing through social rules and media influence, and making choices that truly belong to you.
A good first step is learning to notice these unseen influences around you. 2 They often push certain ideas while hiding others. When you begin to ask, “Do I really believe this, or am I just repeating it?”, you start to take back control. This moment of doubt may seem small, but it can change the way you see everything.
However, questioning is only the beginning. 3 Reading about philosophy, history, or different cultures allows you to compare what you’ve learned with what you’ve always believed. But simple knowledge isn’t enough — true freedom comes when you see how much of your thinking was never really your own. This kind of shift can feel like a personal revolution.
That said, clear thinking is hard to achieve if you’re always online. Many apps are built to keep you watching, liking, and scrolling, not thinking. Limiting your screen time or deleting certain apps might feel uncomfortable at first. 4
Real escape isn’t about being alone, though. It’s about finding meaningful connections that aren’t built on social pressure. Talk with people who challenge your ideas. Be present when you listen. Notice how you feel and what you need. 5 And the more real your connections become, the less power the Matrix has over you.
A.Only in silence can you hear your own voice.
B.Filling your mind with new knowledge is also important.
C.Many people move from one step to the next without asking why.
D.Some people believe escaping the Matrix means living without any technology.
E.Moreover, connecting with others online can also offer meaningful relationships.
F.This kind of authentic contact stands in sharp contrast to the roles we’re told to play.
G.Much of what we believe is shaped by headlines, trends, and the voices we hear online.
Passage 4
(24-25高一下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末)
Being kind has kind of gotten a bad fame recently. Maybe you’ve heard that if you are kind, people will take advantage of you or take you for granted. Or that no good deed goes unpunished. Yes, many people seem to somehow equal kindness to weakness or deficiency. But that’s missing the point. 1 .
Why do others not respect you and even try to take advantage of you? Usually, it’s more about them than you. Maybe they are fearful. Fear can do a number on people. 2 . The “self-protection” forces them to prevent anyone from doing, basically, anything.
Then they may have low self-esteem. Deep down, many people don’t believe that they actually deserve kindness. 3 . Or they might have unresolved pain. When people are in pain, they may feel the need to blow up at others. And it may be casier to attack someone who is kind than someone who is mean.
4 . Some people are genuine 100% all-natural, bad people. They can subscribe to the “it’s all about me, all the time” philosophy that ranks kindness somewhere below belly button lint in their list of things to be respected.
All these are actually reasons why exhibiting genuine kindness is a sign of strength. It means you are able to overcome any type of fear, inferiority (自卑), or internal pain that you may have. 5 . And you know you have the strength to overcome such thing. Helping others is not as easy but, frankly, is a lot more fulfilling. So, why not be more kind, genuinely kind?
A.The fact is the opposite
B.Actually, to be truly kind takes strength and power
C.Another case is that they are actually self-centered guys
D.It means you are willing to risk being taken advantage of
E.It means you are driven by an internal compass but not an external one
F.This feeling motivates them to wrap themselves in layers of defense mechanisms
G.If you are acting kind to them, they may think there must be something wrong with you
Passage 5
(23-24高一下·浙江宁波九校·期末)
Does your teenager seem addicted to the Internet? Probably yes. 1 At first, parents welcome the Internet into their homes, believing they are opening up an exciting new world of educational chances for their children. 2 Instead of using the Internet for homework or research, they are spending hours messaging with friends, playing online games or talking to strangers in chat rooms.
Keeping a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children’s lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. 3
However, parents are usually not aware that there is a problem until it becomes serious. This is because it is easy to hide what you are doing online and Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community.
Children and young people can easily become hooked on online activities such as multi-player games, instant messaging and chat rooms. The most vulnerable children are those who are unpopular or shy with peers. 1 Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they assume new identities and interact with other players. For the children who are not so outgoing, playing these games with thousands of other users may apparently be a social activity. 2 . So parents need to help children limit the online time to an appropriate amount.
A.That is especially obvious when it comes to online social games.
B.In fact, playing too much can further keep them away from friends and peers.
C.The amount of time teenagers spend online is a source of concern for many parents.
D.But numerous parents don’t discover this worrying situation and ignore it naturally.
E.However, many parents soon realize that their kids were gradually becoming Internet addicts.
F.The engaging nature of the Internet makes many children lose track of time when they’re online.
G.They can be easily attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities.
Passage 6
(23-24高一下·浙江衢州·期末)
It’s believed that knowing the best way to behave in common situations improves the quality of everyday life and that of people around you. 1 . As a result, it’s quite necessary to go over the situations that require good manners from time to time.
On public transport
Always ask yourself, “Is there someone who needs your seat more? Is there an older person who need help getting off the bus? Are your feet or your bag taking up a space some one else could use?” These simple manners may not seem that important, but you might make someone’s day. 2 .
At a new friend’s house
3 . That is why it’s useful to have some universal rules to follow. Think about keeping your mouth closed when you chew, or waiting until you’ve finished your mouthful before speaking. If your friend usually sets the table before the meal, then help out or offer to clear the plates afterwards.
4
You tend to reach for your phone during a conversation because you’re anxious to check the incoming messages. Not giving in to it shows that you value the time you have with your friends. More importantly, it enriches the quality of the conversation, and might even encourage your friends to put their phones way.
When you forget.
No one is perfectly polite all the time. The main point s to remember are to express gratitude when someone does something for you — even if you’re a bit late in doing so — and treat others with kindness and respect. 5 .

E.However, sometimes, it’s quite likely to forget your manners
F.These principles help to make a good impression in all kinds of life situations
