If so, you should be careful, because such soft drinks are not healthy. As we know, one soft drink has about 40 g of sugar. Too much sugar is bad for your teeth and eyes and makes you fat. How about energy drinks? Sporty kids like them a lot. These kinds of drinks have caffeine (咖啡因) in them. They can give you more energy. But don’t drink too many. Once a student wants to do well in his PE test. Hoping to have more energy, he drinks some “Red Bull (红牛)”. As a result, he can’t sleep for the whole night and feels sleepy the next day. Of course, he does badly in the PE test. So what can you drink? Don’t worry, here are some cool and healthy drinks. Let’s have a look! Water. It is the best and healthiest drink. Water has no sugar or calories (卡路里). It doesn’t give you bad teeth or make you fat. How much water should you drink every day? The US research group Mayo Clinic says about 8 glasses of water a day (200 ml water for each glass) is good for us. Juice. If you don’t like fresh fruit and vegetables, you can drink 100% fruit juice. Just don’t drink too much—about 940 ml each day is fine. When you open a bottle of fresh juice, drink it in one sitting. Remember not to leave it to the next day, because it will go bad easily. Milk. Milk helps you build a healthy body. Milk is rich in protein (蛋白质), vitamin D and calcium. They are all good for children’s bones and teeth. 1．To tell us why we can’t drink too many energy drinks, the writer ________. A．asks a question B．draws pictures C．gives an example D．uses numbers 2．How much water a day is good for people? A．200 ml. B．800 ml. C．1200 ml.

A．remember to leave juice to the next day, because it is fresh B．students can have some Red Bull for a PE test C．milk is the best and healthiest drink D．protein, vitamin D and calcium are good for children’s health 4．Where can we find this passage? A．In a dictionary. B．In a health magazine. C．In a geography book. D．In a history book. Passage2 Nowadays, a lot of young people like to post short videos online. Some of them are the so-called “cyber celebrities (网红)”. Dong Xuxi, 22, is among them. Like other cyber celebrities, she is popular, the only difference being that she has only one leg. In 2013, she was badly hurt in a car accident and lost her right leg. Then, after three months of treatment, she began to accept the fact of wearing a prosthesis (假肢) and got back to a normal life. She shut herself away from the world after the accident. ▲ “Strangers would be staring at (盯着) me, and when they did, I would stop walking and wait for them to leave. So I didn’t want to go outdoors at all.” Around 2016, Dong watched a video on the Internet in which a girl wearing a prosthetic leg walked perfectly and took part in some sports. Encouraged by the girl, Dong began to join in different outdoor activities with her prosthetic leg, including three running events, going skiing, climbing mountains and flying through clouds on a paraglider. She then posted her sports life online. “I hope that by watching my videos, more people like me will know that they can walk and run normally and open up more.” She always encourages them to join in sports activities which let them enjoy better health both physically and psychologically (心理上地). Dong’s optimism (乐观) has turned her into a star on a short-video app, encouraging people to overcome difficulties in life. People wearing prostheses got support from her videos. 5．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．She didn’t like to take photos. B．She tried walking with a prosthesis.

What’s the secret? Is it expensive medicine, a big house, a high-paying job, or simply good living habits? The latest World Health Organization report says that wealth is not the key to longevity. Longevity depends more on the healthy habits you keep rather than the luxury things you own. Money can buy fancy healthcare, but the health it brings is often not lasting. The report also says real health comes from intangible things. One important thing is a positive mindset. People who stay optimistic and laugh often usually live longer. Doing things you love also makes you healthier. For example, reading a favorite book, growing flowers in the garden, or chatting with old friends will make you feel full of energy. Even a simple walk in the park can work wonders. It’s not surprising that a balanced diet is another key to longevity. Fresh vegetables and fruits are important, and so is less sugar and salt. Eating three meals on time every day helps you keep a healthy body and makes you feel more energetic. Exercise also affects longevity. If you don’t take enough exercise, you will be weak and easy to get sick. Besides, inactivity affects your ability to stay focused and may slow down your metabolism. So if you want to live a long and healthy life, try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Now you know the theory. It’s time to put it all into practice. 9．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By describing a problem. 10．What does the latest WHO report say about money? A．It plays an important role in keeping people healthy. B．It is the best way to help people live longer. C．It makes people feel full of energy. D．It brings non-lasting health benefits. 11．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1; ② = Paragraph 2) A． B． C． D． 12．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this text? A．To show what brings a long and healthy life. B．To compare different types of healthy habits. C．To offer advice on how to make more money. D．To tell people why they need to eat healthy food. Passage 4 Health experts often remind us that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is good for our health. But do you know that eating food of different colors is also important? This idea, sometimes called “eating the rainbow”, is a simple but useful way to make sure your body gets all the goodness it needs. ▲ The answer lies in something called phytochemicals (植物化学物质). They not only give fruit and vegetables their colors, but also offer different health benefits. For example, the phytochemicals in carrots give them the orange color and make them good for our joints (关节). Experts often sort colorful foods into several main groups: yellow, white brown, red, orange, purple blue, and green. Every group has something valuable to offer, so trying to get one or two things from each group each day is a good goal. What might a day of “eating the rainbow” look like? For breakfast, you could have milk with strawberries, bananas and blueberries. That covers red, yellow, and purple blue. For lunch, you could have a salad with lettuce (生菜), carrots, purple cabbage, corn and red peppers. That covers green, orange, purple blue, yellow and red. Then for dinner, you could have cauliflower (花椰菜). It covers white brown. In this way, you can cover all the different color groups in one day. In short, by filling your plate with different colors every day, you can easily make your meals healthier. Mother Nature makes it easy for us. 13．What is the main purpose of “eating the rainbow”? A．To help you eat less meat. B．To make meals look more beautiful. C．To follow the most popular eating habits. D．To help your body get all the nutrients (营养物). 14．Which of the following can we put into the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．Why do things have different colours? B．Why do colours matter so much? C．How can we get more healthy food? D．What are the main food colour groups? 15．Who had the best dinner according to the “rainbow diet” idea? A．Leo: I had potatoes and porridge. B．Maya: I ate a bowl of mutton dumplings. C．Sam: I had fish, steamed corn, carrots and grapes. D．Lena: I had tomato soup, red peppers and strawberries. 16．What could be the best title for the text? A．A Healthy Way of Eating B．A Prediction for Healthy Eating C．How to Sort Foods by Colour D．The Importance of Fruit and Vegetables Passage 5 ① “Drink eight cups of water.” We’ve all heard the advice. But according to a new study, it’s unnecessary for most healthy adults. ② Early in 1945, the US National Research Council (美国国家研究委员会) advised adults to drink about 1.9 liters (升) of water daily. The suggestion is about a person’s total daily intake (摄入) of water from fruit, vegetables and soup. But many people believe they should drink eight glasses of water every day. ③ So, how much water do you need to drink daily? The study found that it’s different from one person to another. It depends on your age, size, physical activity and the weather in your city. ④ Our needs for water are the highest between the ages of 20 and 50. After that, the needs slowly go down. That’s because our metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down after the age of 50, and our needs for water go down, too. ⑤ Also, since men usually have larger bodies than women, they need more water. People whose jobs need more physical activities need more water than those who work in the office. And people who live in the place with hot weather need more water than those who live in the place with cold weather. ⑥ All in all, most of you don’t have to work out how much water you need by measuring your size and physical activity. Just drink whenever you are thirsty. 17．Which picture shows the right relationship between age (X-axis) and people’s needs for water (Y-axis)? A． B． C． D． 18．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph ③ refer to? A．The misunderstanding of drinking water advice. B．The amount of water people need to drink daily. C．The new research on drinking water. D．The suggestion from the US National Research Council. 19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Women need less water than men. B．It’s unnecessary to eat fruit or vegetables. C．Coffee is the best choice for those in hot places. D．Adults should drink 2.9 liters of water every day. 20．What’s the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 6 As a psychologist who has spent the better part of two decades studying stress and resilience (恢复力) in my Health and Human Performance Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, I explore how expressing our feelings can change our experience. Sometimes, as research shows, the words we choose to describe our lives can shape our mental health for months and years to come. It can help us manage heated moments and also supports healing from life’s hardest situations. Research published over the past 40 years on expressive disclosure — in other words, using your words — shows it can lead to significant health improvements, especially for those dealing with stressful life events. After writing about a challenging situation, people report fewer doctor visits, reduced pain and stronger immune (免疫) function. When we express troubling experiences, whether by writing or by speaking, we aren’t simply recalling a memory. We are pulling it up from long-term memory, reshaping it with our words and then putting it back into long-term memory as a new memory. This process, known as memory reconsolidation, gives us a window of time to change how that memory is structured. When we describe painful or overwhelming events, we reorganize them, we add meaning, emotional context and resolution. In doing so, we can reduce the pain these memories cause and make them easier to live with. Besides, recent review shows these newer expressive writing programs have small but meaningful effects on improving results for emotional well-being among kids ages 10 to 18 years old. There’s even a sign that these programs can improve school achievement among kids who have significant emotional problems. Parents can try a bedtime talk with your child: “What was the hardest part of your day?” Gently explore it with them: “What were you feeling when that happened?” These small moments can build a child’s emotional vocabulary and can help build a new family approach to relating to emotional lives. When using their words helps them get what they want or helps them solve a problem, it creates its own reward cycle. Over time these small moments of language aren’t just about solving problems; they help our kids start to see themselves as skilled actors in their own stories, which, as research shows, is a starting point for lasting well-being. 21．What does the writer say about the words we use to describe our lives? A．They can influence our health for a long time. B．They are mainly used to manage heated moments. C．They have no effect on how we recall memories. D．They are more helpful for children than for adults. 22．The phrase “memory reconsolidation” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___________. A．the ability to recall memories more quickly B．the process of forgetting painful memories C．the act of storing a memory without any change D．the way of reshaping a memory into a new form 23．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．Writing about painful events makes them harder to forget. B．Expressive writing programs work best for children under 10. C．Talking about feelings can help children do better at school. D．Solving problems is more important than building emotional vocabulary. 24．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．The Health Power of Putting Feelings into Words B．Why Expressive Writing Is Better Than Talking C．How to Help Children Manage Their Emotions D．The Science Behind Memory and Health Passage7 ①We all know sugar is a kind of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) that gives us energy, but too much sugar can lead to health problems like weight gain, heart problems, and toothache. So, should we stop eating sugar? ②According to Dr. Georgina Williams, a food expert at Newcastle University, the answer is no. “It’s not necessary to cut out sugar fully,” she says. In fact, we should pay attention to the types (种类) of food we eat and their nutrients (营养). For example, fruits and milk have natural sugars, but they also have important nutrients. On the other hand, some foods like biscuits, cakes, and sweets are high in added sugars and low in nutrients. These shouldn’t be eaten too much. ③When choosing food, it’s important to read labels (标签). Many foods we think are healthy, like yogurt, can be high in sugar. Dr. Williams suggests choosing foods with sugar less than 15%. ④________. Different drinks like soft drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks are often high in sugar and calories but low in nutrients. Dr. Williams thinks water, tea, or coffee are better choices. If you really want to choose sugary drinks, don’t drink too much. ⑤Some people use artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂) to take the place of sugar. Although they can help control sugar intake, they may have drawbacks, such as leading to stomachache or adding cancer risks. Dr. Williams suggests not using artificial sweeteners so much and, if possible, choosing a small amount of real sugar. ⑥Finally, the color of sugar doesn’t mean its health value. Brown sugar isn’t necessarily healthier than white sugar. All added sugars are taken in the same way by the body. ⑦Anyway, we don’t need to give up sugar fully. By choosing the right foods and drinks and reading labels, we can enjoy sugar while keeping a healthy diet. 25．Which of the following would Dr. Williams advise you to choose according to paragraph 3? A． B． C． D． 26．Which sentence can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4? A．As we all know, there are some risks lying in the sugar. B．Another important thing we should know is the type of drinks we choose. C．What’s more, you can find much sugar in different fruits. D．Also, it’s necessary for people to choose sugary drinks. 27．What does the underlined word “drawbacks” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Problems. B．Difficulties. C．Differences. D．Challenges. 28．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤⑥/⑦ B．①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ D．①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ 话题2 助人精神 Passage 8 One morning, Patricia was taking a walk on the busy road Estrella Parkway near her home. A car suddenly appeared and rushed past her. Luckily, she was not hurt, but the car came “very, very close,” Patricia said. Patricia and her grandson, William, often walk together on Estrella Parkway. However, there were lots of cars racing on that road. When William went to visit Patricia that evening, she told him what happened. After William heard Patricia was nearly hit by a car, he thought it was time to do something to fix that. In January 2024, William decided to go to the city council (市议会) hall. The council meetings are open to the public. When it was his turn to speak, William stood up and spoke about the problem of car racing on Estrella Parkway. “It’s very dangerous,” he said, “I wonder if you have any way to solve it.” In fact, the local government already planned to install (安装) traffic lights on Estrella Parkway. After William gave the speech at the meeting, it brought more attention to the need for safer roads. About six months after the council meeting, a new traffic light was put up and began working. Stories about William’s efforts also appeared on the local news and national TV. People were all encouraged by his speech. William also received a city award for his efforts to improve the local community. “After that happened, I felt like I could do anything.” William said. “I’m not sure what community problems to solve next,” he added, “I’ll keep exploring.” For now, William is happy with the changes on Estrella Parkway. “You don’t see cars racing each other to the end of the road and it feels much safer,” he said. 29．What happened when Patricia was walking on Estrella Parkway? A．Her leg got hurt badly. B．She met her grandson. C．A car quickly ran past her. D．Two cars hit each other. 30．Which ‘fix’ has the closest meaning to the word ‘fix’ in Paragraph 2? A．The shop couldn’t fix my broken car. B．Fix the photo on the wall so it won’t fall. C．Joe tried to fix the problems in his report. D．Jack needed to fix a date for me to see him. 31．What change did William’s speech bring to the community? A．The road became cleaner and wider. B．More people cared about the road safety. C．The local government set strict traffic rules. D．Awards were made to solve community problems. 32．What can we learn from the text? A．Be brave to point out problems. B．Take care of our family members. C．Follow traffic lights on roads. D．Be careful when walking on roads. Passage 9 Volunteering is a great way to help others, which can actually help you, too. If somebody volunteers, he does something for the good of another person or the world around us, without being paid. Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be organized, such as working for a charity, or informal (非正式的), like helping your neighbours with their food shopping. Research has shown that volunteering increases our happiness. It can give you a sense of purpose, which can in turn develop your self-confidence and make you feel motivated. This is especially true if you match volunteering to your interests or learn a new skill along the way. For example, if you’re interested in nature, why not volunteer for a wildlife charity? Amy and Ella, who set up the charity Kids Against Plastic, agreed. Amy said, “Volunteering is our way to get started in making a difference, instead of waiting for someone else to do the work.” By giving to others, you feel what’s been called “the helper’s high”—a positive feeling. Volunteering can make you happier over time, too. It has been shown to reduce feelings of worries, because many people find that they are moving away from their personal worries by paying attention to the needs of others. “Volunteering also gives us a chance to meet and connect with people, which is good news for our mental (精神的) health,” said Jolie Goodman of the Mental Health Foundation. Studies have shown that volunteering can improve your physical health, too. 33．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．What is volunteering. B．How to set up a charity. C．Why we should help others. D．How many kinds of volunteer jobs there are. 34．Why does volunteering reduce feelings of worries? A．Because people have ways to deal with their worries. B．Because people will be happier after helping others. C．Because people have no time to think of their worries. D．Because people get a lot of praise when they volunteer. 35．What’s the structure of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 36．What will probably be discussed next? A．The long-term impact of volunteering. B．How middle school students can volunteer. C．How volunteering can improve our physical health. D．Different ways of volunteering in various countries. Passage10 In 2017, Lugazo first came to Wuhan from Tanzania. He didn’t know which way to go when he arrived at the Hankou Railway Station. Luckily, a man took him to the university by subway. Lugazo just arrived in China from Tanzania to study at Central China Normal University. The kind man, he said, was the first “Lei Feng” he met. This thing touched Lugazo. Some months later, he joined the university’s volunteer team. The next year, he was at the Wuhan Railway Station volunteering. “I couldn’t speak good Chinese at the time. My partner taught me three sentences, ‘Hello! Do you need help? May I carry your luggage for you?’” Lugazo said, “Once, after I helped an elderly woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said ‘Thank you, Lei Feng!’. That really touched me.” Lugazo always remembers the time when he taught English to children in a village of Yichang in 2021. Many of their parents worked in faraway cities, so the children lived with their grandparents. Lugazo played with the children and became friends with them. In China, the Lei Feng story is well known. These days, anyone can be named as a “Lei Feng” if they try their best to help others. 37．Which is TRUE about Lugazo in 2017? ①He came to Wuhan for travel. ②He took the subway to the university. ③He came to Wuhan for the first time. ④He went to the university with a policeman. A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 38．What does the underlined word “volunteer” mean in Chinese? A．运动员 B．助教 C．新生 D．志愿者 39．Lugazo went to the Wuhan Railway Station ________ the next year. A．to take a train B．to help people C．to meet new friends D．to find a 5-year-old boy Passage11 On the first day of the New Year 2019, I decided to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months! My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends’ study in class and another 40 hours’ online study, I received my TESOL certificate. I was asked to keep in touch with Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school. After months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to visit the country! After a few weeks of travel, I met up with Philip and the other volunteer teachers in my program in Bangkok(曼谷). It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some nice sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the week-long seminar( 研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was brought to Anuban Buriram Primary School and began my work. I really loved my job —I taught Grade 5 and 6 and I met the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It was a truly fantastic thing that I could see the difference I made in someone else’s life, right in front of me! Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People there are more friendly, I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received. I’ve been invited to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to treat them in the future. 40．When did the writer fly to Thailand? A．In early February. B．At the end of March. C．In early April.

B．The writer felt a sense of happiness from teaching. C．The writer didn't like the working environment in the school. D．The writer was not used to the food and living conditions there. Passage12 One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried. Jim and Della had two possessions (财产) which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee. Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “Twenty dollars.” the woman said. Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim. She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars. At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs. The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read. “Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.” Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. There lay the set of combs (梳子) that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone. She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.” Instead of obeying (服从), Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. “Della,” he said, “I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.” 43．Della counted her money three times because ________.

A．Shocked. B．Excited. C．Embarrassed. D．Angry. 45．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 10 refer to? A．The box. B．The watch. C．The watch chain. D．The set of combs. 46．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Beautiful Hair B．Christmas Gifts C．Disappointing Christmas D．Ancient Possessions 话题3 选择 Passage13 It is generally believed that we make choices based on our preferences (偏好). For example, we choose a bag because we like it better than other bags. But will we like the bag even better after we choose it? Psychologist Jack Brehm once asked some housewives to rate (给……打分) a few things based on how much they liked them. If they gave two things the same rating, they had to choose one over the other. Then they rated all the things again. This time, all the chosen things got a higher rating. Brehm then said that the act of choosing had changed the women’s preferences. But others questioned Brehm’s finding. They argued that choosing only showed preferences that were already there. A new study suggests there is truth on both sides. To see people’s preference in a scientific way, scientists used fMRI (功能性核磁共振成像) to watch brain activity in 13 volunteers when they chose the place for a vacation. In the first part of the new study, the volunteers went inside the fMRI and rated how happy it would make them to go to Greece, Thailand and other places. Then, outside the fMRI, they chose between pairs of places to which they had given the same rating. Scientists found that even though the volunteers had given the same rating to both places in each pair at first, they always chose the place that raised greater brain activity shown in the fMRI. The finding proves (证明) that choices uncover preexisting (早先存在的) preferences. But the second part of the study also backs Brehm’s point that choices can influence preferences. When the volunteers got back in the fMRI and rated how much they wanted to go to the vacation places again, they showed even higher brain activity for the chosen places. The fMRI data suggest that a person’s choice not only shows a preexisting preference but also shapes future preferences, which helps to end a huge debate in the field. Experts believe that we change our preferences after making a decision so that we won’t think over what may happen if we choose differently. So if we choose the zoo over the seaside, we will probably feel like learning more about the animals and putting our swimsuit away. 47．What did Brehm ask the housewives to do? A．To rate a few things two times. B．To make some bags together. C．To learn about many things. D．To find a place for vacation. 48．The word “shapes” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A．creates B．influences C．chooses D．proves 49．What can we learn from the new study? A．People hardly change their preferences after they make choices. B．People may like something better if they show lower brain activity. C．People show the same brain activity for the places with the same rating. D．People may still have a preference even though they give the same rating. Passage14 At the age of 15, Guo Shanqiuyun made an important decision to study in a middle school in the United States, and eight years later, she made an even more important decision to return to China and start her career (职业) in the countryside. Unlike her parents, who looked forward to moving to cities or going abroad, Guo and her husband chose to run after their dreams in Tangjiazhuang village in Huangshan city, Anhui province. “We believe that there are more chances in rural (农村的) areas,” says 33-year-old Guo, who is now having a happy life in the village. “We would like to explore them.” Guo is one among the increasing number of young Chinese, who have returned from overseas after their studies to pursue their dreams. According to the 2022 Blue Paper for Chinese Overseas Students Returning to China for Employment released (发布) by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange, the number of students returning to China has grown since 2012, with about 3.4 million having returned, or more than 80 percent of the people who have studied abroad. Over the past ten years, China has introduced a lot of policies (政策), from the central to local levels, to create the conditions to make life more convenient for returned overseas students. 50．What may Guo Shanqiuyun be interested in now? A．Moving to a big city. B．Achieving her dreams in rural areas. C．Going abroad to study. D．Helping more overseas return. 51．What has helped many overseas return to China? A．The development of China. B．Nice and useful policies. C．The beauty of rural areas. D．The chances in rural areas. 52．What may the text be? A．A news report. B．A book review. C．A science fiction. D．A reading plan. Passage15 Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life. For my job, there are three important things that I will consider： The first one—that I must work in an area I like—is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do. The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated (酬劳), so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family. The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work. I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life. 53．According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people ________. A．solve fewer problems B．choose a good life C．be good family members D．provide hard things 54．The writer wants to tell us that everyone should ________. A．become a knowledgeable person B．join the army to become a better person C．make preparations to find a satisfying job D．help young people to choose an interesting job 55．What is the best title for the passage? A．My Job Choice B．My Favorite Job C．My Comfortable Life D．My Sense of Satisfaction 话题4 语言与交流 Passage16 Once there was a manager (经理) who had a team of around 36 hard-working members. Everything seemed great. But one thing worried him: the group had a hard time communicating (交流) and sharing information with each other. Then one day, the manager had an idea. He decided to take his group to play games together, and he prepared 3 rounds (轮次) of games carefully. During the first round, the manager told everyone to blow a balloon and write their names without breaking it. And soon the team members did it successfully. After that, the manager told them to wait outside for the next round. When they went into the room again, they saw many more balloons without names around the room. The manager told them to look for the balloon with his or her name on it. The first to bring him the balloon would win, while those who broke the balloon would be out of the game. 15 minutes passed and no one was able to find his balloon, and then the manager decided to go on to the third round. For the third round, the manager told his group to pick any balloon from the room and give it to the person whose name was on it. Within just a few minutes, everyone had his balloon with his own name. The manager was very happy and discussed with his group about the reason why they didn’t find their balloons in the second round. That was because everyone paid too much attention (注意力) to his own target. However, in just a short time, they could make it in the third round because of the power of teamwork and sharing with each other. 56．Why did no one find his own balloon in the second round? A．Because there were too many balloons. B．Because the balloons were broken easily. C．Because everyone only cared about his own balloon. 57．What does the underlined word “target” probably mean? A．问题 B．目标 C．方法 58．What can we infer (推断) from the story? A．Working together is more useful than working alone. B．Balloon games are the best way to train workers. C．It is impossible to find a named balloon quickly. 59．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teamwork and sharing help people succeed. B．Balloon games can bring people happiness. C．A good manager must be good at playing games. Passage17 Have you heard of dazi? Have you ever found a dazi? These days, finding a dazi is becoming popular with Chinese young people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we haven’t known him or her before. The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company (陪伴) but also helps her enjoy sports more. These dazi relationships are very different from close friendships. As for close friends, we need to stay in close contact. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable. Finding a dazi shows that Chinese young people want clearer boundaries (界限) in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves. Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first. 60．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By giving numbers. D．By giving an example. 61．How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi? A．Serious. B．Difficult. C．Enjoyable. D．Meaningless. 62．What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Having a social life. B．Playing games together. C．Staying in close contact. D．Talking about personal life. 63．Why do Chinese young people like to find a dazi? ①To improve themselves.   ②To share their hobbies and interests. ③To save time and money.   ④To have boundaries in their social relationships. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ Passage18 A good conversation happens when people are asking each other the right kinds of questions and then giving the right answers. Let’s take a look at four different types of questions you can use in a conversation. Type ①: The Open-ended Question An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. The opposite is a closed-ended question. Closed-ended questions always end the conversation. An open-ended question allows you to learn more about the other person and gives you something to reply to. Type ②: The Follow-up Question When it comes to conversations, a follow-up question is something that is asked based on what the other person already said. In order to ask a good follow-up question, you need to listen carefully. Follow-up questions keep the conversation moving and show the other person you were listening to what they said. Type ③: The Clarifying (澄清) Question When do you need to ask a clarifying question? There are two situations. First, that is when the information you heard was unclear. And second, that is when you are having trouble understanding what the speaker is trying to express. A clarifying question can be open-ended or closed-ended. Type ④: The Superlative (最高级的) Question Questions, like “What is the best trip you’ve ever taken?” or “What’s your most unforgettable thing?” really let you learn more about the person you’re having a conversation with. 64．What do you need to do to ask a good follow-up question? A．Add your own ideas. B．Answer an open-ended question. C．Listen to the speaker carefully. D．Keep the conversation moving. 65．Which of the following is ONE situation when we need to ask a clarifying question? A．When the information is very clear. B．When we are trying to start talking. C．When we want to reply to a closed-ended question. D．When we have trouble understanding the speaker. 66．Why does the writer use the sentence “What is the best trip you’ve ever taken?” A．To give an example. B．To find an answer. C．To create an interest. D．To start a conversation. 67．What is the writer trying to do in the text? A．Explain how to make friends. B．Introduce some school rules. C．Teach us some useful sentences. D．Guide us on how to ask questions. Passage19 A new social media trend (潮流)—known as “Becoming Chinese”—is drawing the attention of TikTok users around the world. This cultural exchange has led to a wave of people trying out many kinds of Chinese lifestyles online. These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits, such as drinking warm water instead of cold drinks; wearing slippers (拖鞋) indoors instead of walking barefoot; eating cooked vegetables rather than raw salad greens; and practising baduanjin slow exercise loved by older people. The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life from young people and the rising charm of China on the global stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with burnout. For example, these cultures stress getting close to nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang. The “Becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness (包容) and calm inside. “Many young people abroad hold a favourable view of China,” said CCTV. This shows China’s growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds, from viewing Chinese culture from afar to taking part in it. US tech magazine Wired saw this trend as part of a bigger story. Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for a long period of time, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence. 68．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is a Chinese self-care habit? A．Drinking cold drinks. B．Walking barefoot indoors. C．Eating raw salad greens. D．Practising baduanjin. 69．What does the underlined word “favourable” probably mean? A．worried B．positive C．doubtful D．careful 70．How does the writer explain Chinese lifestyle wisdom in Paragraph 4? A．By giving reasons. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By telling a story. 71．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Why Chinese lifestyles become popular abroad. B．How Chinese products are sold worldwide. C．When “Becoming Chinese” started on TikTok. D．What Western people think of Chinese lifestyle. Passage20 When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also communicate with ourselves from time to time? Imagine this: your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes (薄饼), bread, porridge... You think it will be great to have pancakes. Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself. This kind of communication is called intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication can help you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your mind and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) ideas and feelings, you’ll try to cheer up and throw away these bad ideas and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your mind and feelings better makes you put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then you can better understand and get on with them. All in all, developing good intrapersonal communication skills is important for our personal growth and relationships with others. 72．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By asking some questions. B．By providing (提供) a number. C．By giving an example. 73．What can we know about intrapersonal communication from Paragraph 3? A．Its history. B．Its problems. C．Its good points. 74．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 75．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Learn to Communicate With Yourself. B．Different Ways of Communication. C．How to Communicate Better With Others. Passage21 ①Body language is important in communication. However, the same body language can have very different meanings in different cultures. Here are some examples. ②Nodding your head usually means “yes”. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “no”. ③In the West, people like to look at each other when they talk. Strong eye contact (交流) is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab countries. Finns (芬兰人) and Japanese are embarrassed when others keep staring at them during a talk. They only make eye contact at the start of a discussion. ④Tapping your nose means “secret” in England. In Italy, the same gesture means “be careful”. ⑤In many cultures, like Italy and the U.S., people use their arms freely when talking. They often wave their arms around. Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it shows insincerity (不真诚) and is too dramatic. In Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite. ⑥Sitting cross-legged is common in North America and some European countries. In many countries in Asia and the Middle East, sitting like this is not respectful. 80．In which country does “nod your head” mean “No”? A．In Bulgaria. B．In Spain. C．In England. D．In Italy. 81．Peter wants to make friends with Rimi, a new Japanese student in his class. What may the writer advise (建议) him to do at the start of the talk? A． B． C． D． 82．Which of the following shows the correct structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 83．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To ask readers to use more body language. B．To tell that some cultures are better than others. C．To show the importance of respecting other cultures. D．To help readers better understand people from other cultures. Passage22 Are you an open book, your face showing every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a researcher at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking differences in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, these expressions appeared as a stable personal quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressions across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressions are connected with personality, with more agreeable persons displaying more lively faces. Facial expressions can also turn into real social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive people are more likely to get a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressions serving an “affiliative (亲和的) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressions are also connected with being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who use facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 84．What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on in the study? A．Its impact. B．Its findings. C．Its limitations. D．Its significance. 85．What may facial expressions serve as in negotiation settings? A．A way to frighten competitors. B．A method to hide personalities. C．A tool to show personal quality. D．A strategy to settle disagreement. 86．What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．To interpret. B．To overlook. C．To remember. D．To copy. 87．What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A．Always wearing a still face. B．Learning to be an open book. C．Speaking out inner emotions. D．Forcing a smile through tears. Passage23 The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on (坚持) yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 88．According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A．become a curious reader B．have close friendships with other book lovers C．develop parasocial friendships with book characters D．discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 89．According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI ② book characters ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests ⑤ people with different interests A．①②③ B．②③④ C．③④⑤ D．①②⑤ 90．Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”? A．Real. B．Curious. C．One-sided. D．Comforting. 91．At the end of the article, the author suggests that people ________. A．replace real friends with AI friends B．read more books to discover like-minded friends C．be open to connecting with people who are different D．only make friends with those who share the same interests 话题5 环保 Passage24 The top-selling album (唱片) , Songs of the Humpback Whale, was made public in 1970. This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales, and it helped save thousands of whales’ lives. The album might never have been made without a sound engineer named Frank Watlington. In the 1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange, deep sounds. He realized they were coming from whales. Watlington played the recordings for a pair of scientists named Roger and Katy Payne. When they listened, they fell in love with these beautiful voices at once. Katy Payne studied music as well as animals, and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera singer. She also noticed another interesting fact: the sounds had clear patterns. According to scientists, an animal sound with a repeating pattern is called a song. Some scientists even compared (比较) these singing animals to musicians. The Paynes thought that other people should also hear the beauty of the whales’ songs. So Roger made the recordings into an album. At the time when the album came out, whales were often caught, killed and traded for money. Some kinds were even in danger of dying out. Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through songs. But after hearing the album, they began to think differently. The album led people to take action to save whales. Musicians began using whale songs in their music, and whales were included in movies and television shows. In 1982, a ban (禁令) to stop deep-sea whaling was made. Before it, in the 1950s and 1960s, more than fifty thousand whales per year were killed. After it, the number went down below two thousand. It might seem impossible that just one album could help save the lives of so many whales. But this album told people secrets about whales that had long been hidden under the sea. It allowed whales to finally share their songs with the human world. 92．Who first found the special voices of the whales? A．A song recorder. B．An opera singer. C．A sound engineer. D．An animal scientist. 93．What fact about the whales surprised Katy Payne? A．They could talk with scientists. B．They could sing like an opera singer. C．They could repeat interesting sounds. D．They could communicate through songs. 94．Which is one of the values of the album? A．It successfully stopped deep-sea whaling. B．It helped people understand whales better. C．It made some music and movie stars popular, D．It encouraged musicians to work with scientists. 95．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To call on people to save whales. B．To tell how a good album was made. C．To show that whales are born singers. D．To introduce an album and its stories. Passage25 Snowstorms, lack of oxygen (氧气) and a freezing temperature of -20℃, Yue Kailang has experienced all these while climbing Mount Muztagata. The boy from Beijing finally reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 meters, on July 29, 2022. Yue was the youngest on the “Climate Action” climbing team. The goal of the team is to raise people’s awareness of global warming by climbing snow mountains. “I loved nature when I was a kid. I often climbed mountains in Beijing. In recent years, more and more news reports have talked about the environment being polluted, and I feel quite upset about it, ”said Yue. Feeling necessary to do something, Yue took part in the “Climate Action” project. “Mount Muztagata is a good place to observe (观测) climate change because there are large areas of mountain glaciers (冰川), ” said Yue. “I was shocked when I saw the snow line was rising every single day—the snow melts (融化) so fast that it can be seen with the naked eye! There is also a river formed by the melting snow. We can hear the loud sound of the flowing water. ” On the way to the top of the mountain, Yue also collected snow samples (样品), which were part of the project’s tasks. The samples will be given to scientists to study how air pollution and microbes (微生物) are causing the melting. “We say ‘saving Earth’ every day, but I think taking real action is more important than just talking, ” said Yue. “I hope my story can draw more young people’s attention to the serious problem of global warming. What I have experienced has shown that global warming is really not far away. ” 96．How high is Mount Muztagata? A．7,546 meters. B．7, 645 meters. C．7,465 meters. D．6,745 meters. 97．Why did Yue Kailang take part in the “Climate Action” project? A．Because he planned to make some friends in this way. B．Because he wanted to do something for the environment. C．Because he liked climbing snow mountains when he was little. D．Because his parents asked him to do it. 98．Put the following information into the correct order according to the passage. ________ a. Along the way, Yue collected snow samples. b. Yue often climbed mountains in Beijing. c. Yue finally reached the top of the mountain. d. Yue felt quite upset about pollution. e. Yue took part in the “Climate Action” project. A．c-a-d-e-b B．d-b-a-e-c C．b-d-e-a-c D．a-e-c-d-b 99．What is the best title for the passage? A．Yue Kailang Climbs Mount Muztagata to Help with “Climate Action” Project B．How Global Warming Makes Mount Muztagata’s Snow Melt C．Yue Kailang Collects Snow Samples on Mount Muztagata D．The Difficulties of Climbing Mount Muztagata at -20℃ Passage26 ①Every year, millions of birds migrate (迁徙) along the same paths (路径) to rest and find food. One of the busiest paths goes from the Arctic to New Zealand and Australia. A shorebird called the godwit holds the record — it can fly over 12,000 kilometers in just eight days without a stop. ②To protect these long-distance travelers, scientists built an online map called the MBHA．The map uses information from satellite trackers (卫星追踪器), bird bands (鸟环), and people watching on the ground. It has 20 years of tracking data (数据) on 98 kinds of birds. It shows where they rest, lay eggs, and stay in winter. ③The MBHA needs teamwork between countries. It connects over 1,500 wetlands (湿地) across 22 countries. Birds have no idea about countries. They follow coastlines (海岸线), avoid mountains and large areas of ocean, and choose paths with enough wetlands to rest and eat. So, a bird that lays eggs in Russia may rest in South Korea, stop in China, and spend winter in Australia. ▲ ④Take the spoon-billed sandpiper (勺嘴鹬) as an example. It lays its eggs in northeastern Russia. During its trip, it needs wetlands in China and South Korea. Finally, it will enjoy sunshine in Australia. To help the birds, the MBHA connects the countries along the path closely. ⑤China and Australia take actions first. The wetlands at the Yellow River Delta in China and Roebuck Bay in Australia are both important rest stops. They share information and protect these areas together. ⑥However, birds face new problems. A 2024 report found that climate changes are already changing bird travel times. Some birds now arrive at rest stops after the best food is gone. ⑦Another problem is that MBHA is not finished yet. The team says the map covers less than 40% of all known traveling bird kinds on this path. “What we have mapped is only a small part of the whole picture,” says the lead scientist. More work is needed to protect the birds before it is too late. 100．Why does the writer take a shorebird called “godwit” as an example in Paragraph 1? A．To show that godwits can fly to New Zealand. B．To tell that godwits do not need wetlands to rest. C．To give an example of a bird that uses the MBHA． D．To lead in the importance of building the MBHA． 101．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ? A．If China protects its wetlands, the birds will be safe. B．Birds can find another way if a key wetland is destroyed. C．If one country destroys a key wetland, the whole bird path is in danger. D．Only the country where birds lay eggs needs to protect wetlands. 102．Which of the following pictures shows the right migration path of the spoon-billed sandpiper? A． B． C． D． 103．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 话题6 学习方法式 Passage27 Viktor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude. To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it! Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice. You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brande once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead. 104．Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2? A．To prove attitude changes on its own. B．To show attitude is important to the old. C．To prove the author himself was very stubborn. D．To show that understanding one’s attitude takes time. 105．What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect? A．Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get. B．Our attitude plays an important role in determining the outcomes we experience. C．Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health. D．Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors. 106．What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. Passage28 Do you find it difficult to remember English words? Do you forget them in just a few minutes? In fact, with the right methods, you can learn words more efficiently and easily. Here are three useful rules to help you. First, learn new words through stories. When you read short stories, articles, or conversations, you can see words in real contexts. You will not only know their meanings but also understand how to use them in sentences. Words in stories are more interesting and lively, so you can remember them longer and better than by just memorizing a word list. Stories also create pictures in your mind, which makes the words stay with you for a longer time. Second, remember the words you use most often first. You don’t need to learn all the new words at once. In fact, trying to learn too many words at the same time may only make you confused (困惑的). You should start with common daily words, such as those about school, family, food, and hobbies. These are the words you are most likely to meet in real life. The more you use these words in speaking and writing, the more firmly you will remember them. Third, connect new words with your old knowledge. When you learn a new word, think of its related words. For example, when you learn “doctor”, you can think of “nurse”, “hospital”, and “patient”. ▲ Doing this helps you build a word network in your mind and makes your memory much stronger. 107．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking questions. C．By making comparison. D．By giving examples. 108．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．Listening to English songs is also a good method. B．Don’t memorize the new words unless you often meet them. C．You can also make sentences with the words you already learned. D．It will be more interesting to read English stories with your friends. 109．What is the structure of the text? A．①/②③④ B．①②③/④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②/③④ 110．In which part of magazine can we read the text? A．Good Learners. B．Save Money. C．Greener Environment. D．Traditional Arts. Passage29 ①Learning a new language can sometimes make you feel tired. There are so many words and grammar to remember. However, a great teacher once said, “ ▲ ” So, why not make learning fun? What could be more fun than watching cartoons? ②Watching cartoons is a great way to learn everyday English. Instead of boring textbook sentences, you hear how kids and people really talk. Cartoon characters use simple words, funny jokes and easy slang, which makes English lively and easy to remember. ③Another good thing is learning expressions you won’t find in textbooks. For example, Mickey Mouse often says “Oh, no!” when he is in trouble, while Peppa Pig loves to say “Daddy Pig, can you help me?” These phrases are short, easy to remember, and fun to use when you talk with others. ④Cartoons also help you improve your listening skills. You can hear clear pronunciation and learn to understand simple fast speech. And if you don’t know a word, you can use subtitles to help you. ⑤Of course, this doesn’t mean it’s always easy. For beginners, some cartoons may talk too fast. But language experts say the secret is to watch actively. First, watch a short part with Chinese subtitles. Then, watch it again with English subtitles. Next, try watching without subtitles to see how much you understand. You can start with 5 to 10 minutes each time, write down useful phrases, and use them in your daily life. Next time you watch your favorite English cartoon, you may be surprised by how much you learn! ⑥Watching cartoons is a happy and useful way to learn English. If you follow the right steps, you can learn better while having fun. 111．Which of the following can be put into the ▲ ? A．Practice makes perfect. B．What we learn with joy, we never forget. C．A good beginning is half done. D．It’s never too old to learn. 112．Why does the writer mention the examples in Paragraph 3? A．To show that cartoons have useful textbook-free phrases. B．To introduce two famous cartoon characters. C．To explain what “Oh, no!” means. D．To compare two different cartoons. 113．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③/④/⑤⑥ D．①②③/④/⑤/⑥ 114．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To tell stories of language experts. B．To explain why learning English is hard. C．To introduce popular English cartoons. D．To share a fun way to learn English. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 话题1 生活方式（常考点） 话题4 语言与交流（常考点） 话题2 助人精神（常考点） 话题5 环保（常考点） 话题3 选择（常考点） 话题6学习方式（常考点） 话题1 生活方式 Passage1 What do you like to drink every day? Do you like cola? If so, you should be careful, because such soft drinks are not healthy. As we know, one soft drink has about 40 g of sugar. Too much sugar is bad for your teeth and eyes and makes you fat. How about energy drinks? Sporty kids like them a lot. These kinds of drinks have caffeine (咖啡因) in them. They can give you more energy. But don’t drink too many. Once a student wants to do well in his PE test. Hoping to have more energy, he drinks some “Red Bull (红牛)”.

In 2013, she was badly hurt in a car accident and lost her right leg. Then, after three months of treatment, she began to accept the fact of wearing a prosthesis (假肢) and got back to a normal life. She shut herself away from the world after the accident. ▲ “Strangers would be staring at (盯着) me, and when they did, I would stop walking and wait for them to leave. So I didn’t want to go outdoors at all.” Around 2016, Dong watched a video on the Internet in which a girl wearing a prosthetic leg walked perfectly and took part in some sports. Encouraged by the girl, Dong began to join in different outdoor activities with her prosthetic leg, including three running events, going skiing, climbing mountains and flying through clouds on a paraglider. She then posted her sports life online. “I hope that by watching my videos, more people like me will know that they can walk and run normally and open up more.” She always encourages them to join in sports activities which let them enjoy better health both physically and psychologically (心理上地).

What’s the secret? Is it expensive medicine, a big house, a high-paying job, or simply good living habits? The latest World Health Organization report says that wealth is not the key to longevity. Longevity depends more on the healthy habits you keep rather than the luxury things you own. Money can buy fancy healthcare, but the health it brings is often not lasting. The report also says real health comes from intangible things. One important thing is a positive mindset. People who stay optimistic and laugh often usually live longer. Doing things you love also makes you healthier. For example, reading a favorite book, growing flowers in the garden, or chatting with old friends will make you feel full of energy. Even a simple walk in the park can work wonders. It’s not surprising that a balanced diet is another key to longevity. Fresh vegetables and fruits are important, and so is less sugar and salt. Eating three meals on time every day helps you keep a healthy body and makes you feel more energetic. Exercise also affects longevity. If you don’t take enough exercise, you will be weak and easy to get sick. Besides, inactivity affects your ability to stay focused and may slow down your metabolism. So if you want to live a long and healthy life, try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. Now you know the theory. It’s time to put it all into practice. 9．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By describing a problem. 10．What does the latest WHO report say about money? A．It plays an important role in keeping people healthy. B．It is the best way to help people live longer. C．It makes people feel full of energy. D．It brings non-lasting health benefits. 11．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1; ② = Paragraph 2) A． B． C． D． 12．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this text? A．To show what brings a long and healthy life. B．To compare different types of healthy habits. C．To offer advice on how to make more money. D．To tell people why they need to eat healthy food. 【答案】9．C 10．D 11．C 12．A 【知识点】说明文、身心健康 【导语】本文主要探讨长寿健康的秘诀。 【详解】9．第一段“Have you ever wondered what makes people live a long and healthy life? What’s the secret? Is it expensive medicine, a big house, a high-paying job, or simply good living habits?”说明作者以多个问句开篇引出话题。 10．第一段“Money can buy fancy healthcare, but the health it brings is often not lasting.”说明财富不是长寿关键，金钱换来的健康无法长久。 11．①段：设问引入，点明长寿靠健康习惯而非财富。②-④段：分别介绍了长寿的秘诀：积极乐观的心态有益长寿；均衡饮食是长寿关键；坚持运动助力健康长寿。⑤段：呼吁大家付诸行动。整体结构：总—分—总，对应C项。 12．全文围绕长寿健康的秘诀展开，介绍心态、饮食、运动三大要素，全文讲解什么因素能让人健康长寿。 Passage 4 Health experts often remind us that eating lots of fruit and vegetables is good for our health. But do you know that eating food of different colors is also important? This idea, sometimes called “eating the rainbow”, is a simple but useful way to make sure your body gets all the goodness it needs. ▲ The answer lies in something called phytochemicals (植物化学物质). They not only give fruit and vegetables their colors, but also offer different health benefits. For example, the phytochemicals in carrots give them the orange color and make them good for our joints (关节). Experts often sort colorful foods into several main groups: yellow, white brown, red, orange, purple blue, and green. Every group has something valuable to offer, so trying to get one or two things from each group each day is a good goal. What might a day of “eating the rainbow” look like? For breakfast, you could have milk with strawberries, bananas and blueberries. That covers red, yellow, and purple blue. For lunch, you could have a salad with lettuce (生菜), carrots, purple cabbage, corn and red peppers. That covers green, orange, purple blue, yellow and red. Then for dinner, you could have cauliflower (花椰菜). It covers white brown. In this way, you can cover all the different color groups in one day. In short, by filling your plate with different colors every day, you can easily make your meals healthier. Mother Nature makes it easy for us. 13．What is the main purpose of “eating the rainbow”? A．To help you eat less meat. B．To make meals look more beautiful. C．To follow the most popular eating habits. D．To help your body get all the nutrients (营养物). 14．Which of the following can we put into the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．Why do things have different colours? B．Why do colours matter so much? C．How can we get more healthy food? D．What are the main food colour groups? 15．Who had the best dinner according to the “rainbow diet” idea? A．Leo: I had potatoes and porridge. B．Maya: I ate a bowl of mutton dumplings. C．Sam: I had fish, steamed corn, carrots and grapes. D．Lena: I had tomato soup, red peppers and strawberries. 16．What could be the best title for the text? A．A Healthy Way of Eating B．A Prediction for Healthy Eating C．How to Sort Foods by Colour D．The Importance of Fruit and Vegetables 【答案】13．D 14．B 15．C 16．A 【知识点】说明文、健康饮食 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“吃彩虹”（食用不同颜色的蔬果）这一健康饮食理念，解释了不同颜色食物的健康价值，并给出了一日三餐的搭配示例，说明这种饮食方式能帮助人体获取所需的全部营养。 【详解】13．根据文章第一段最后一句“This idea…is a simple but useful way to make sure your body gets all the goodness it needs.”可知，这一理念的目的是确保身体获得所需的所有营养。 14．文章第二段空白后紧接着回答“The answer lies in something called phytochemicals…offer different health benefits.”。这说明空白处的问题是关于颜色为何重要或有益处的。选项B“为什么颜色如此重要？”符合上下文逻辑。 15．根据文章第三段可知，理想的饮食应涵盖多种颜色组。选项C中Sam吃了玉米、胡萝卜、葡萄和鱼，颜色种类最丰富，最符合“彩虹饮食”理念。 16．全文主要介绍了“吃出彩虹”这一通过摄入不同颜色食物来获取全面营养的健康饮食方式。选项A“一种健康的饮食方式”最能概括文章主题。 Passage 5 ① “Drink eight cups of water.” We’ve all heard the advice. But according to a new study, it’s unnecessary for most healthy adults. ② Early in 1945, the US National Research Council (美国国家研究委员会) advised adults to drink about 1.9 liters (升) of water daily. The suggestion is about a person’s total daily intake (摄入) of water from fruit, vegetables and soup. But many people believe they should drink eight glasses of water every day. ③ So, how much water do you need to drink daily? The study found that it’s different from one person to another. It depends on your age, size, physical activity and the weather in your city. ④ Our needs for water are the highest between the ages of 20 and 50. After that, the needs slowly go down. That’s because our metabolism (新陈代谢) slows down after the age of 50, and our needs for water go down, too. ⑤ Also, since men usually have larger bodies than women, they need more water. People whose jobs need more physical activities need more water than those who work in the office. And people who live in the place with hot weather need more water than those who live in the place with cold weather. ⑥ All in all, most of you don’t have to work out how much water you need by measuring your size and physical activity. Just drink whenever you are thirsty. 17．Which picture shows the right relationship between age (X-axis) and people’s needs for water (Y-axis)? A． B． C． D． 18．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph ③ refer to? A．The misunderstanding of drinking water advice. B．The amount of water people need to drink daily. C．The new research on drinking water. D．The suggestion from the US National Research Council. 19．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Women need less water than men. B．It’s unnecessary to eat fruit or vegetables. C．Coffee is the best choice for those in hot places. D．Adults should drink 2.9 liters of water every day. 20．What’s the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】17．C 18．B 19．A 20．A 【知识点】说明文、健康饮食 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了日常饮水量的相关研究，说明健康成年人无需刻意遵循“每天八杯水”的建议，饮水量受年龄、体型、活动量、性别和气候等多种因素影响。 【详解】17．根据原文第④段“Our needs for water are the highest between the ages of 20 and 50. After that, the needs slowly go down.”可知，人体对水的需求在20-50岁之间达到峰值，之后缓慢下降，与选项C的图像趋势一致。 18．根据原文第③段“So, how much water do you need to drink daily? The study found that it’s different from one person to another. It depends on your age, size, physical activity and the weather in your city.”可知，此处的“It”指代前文提到的“人们每日所需的饮水量”。 19．根据原文第⑤段“Also, since men usually have larger bodies than women, they need more water.”可知，女性通常比男性体型小，因此需要的水更少，选项A符合原文内容。 20．根据文章结构，第一段指出“每天喝八杯水”的建议可能是错误的；第二段解释这种误解产生的原因；第三段提出问题“每天需要喝多少水”，并在第四、五段分别从年龄、体型、体力活动和天气方面阐述影响需水量的因素；第六段总结，建议按口渴感饮水，避免含糖饮料。因此A选项图片符合文章结构。 Passage 6 As a psychologist who has spent the better part of two decades studying stress and resilience (恢复力) in my Health and Human Performance Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, I explore how expressing our feelings can change our experience. Sometimes, as research shows, the words we choose to describe our lives can shape our mental health for months and years to come. It can help us manage heated moments and also supports healing from life’s hardest situations. Research published over the past 40 years on expressive disclosure — in other words, using your words — shows it can lead to significant health improvements, especially for those dealing with stressful life events. After writing about a challenging situation, people report fewer doctor visits, reduced pain and stronger immune (免疫) function. When we express troubling experiences, whether by writing or by speaking, we aren’t simply recalling a memory. We are pulling it up from long-term memory, reshaping it with our words and then putting it back into long-term memory as a new memory. This process, known as memory reconsolidation, gives us a window of time to change how that memory is structured. When we describe painful or overwhelming events, we reorganize them, we add meaning, emotional context and resolution. In doing so, we can reduce the pain these memories cause and make them easier to live with. Besides, recent review shows these newer expressive writing programs have small but meaningful effects on improving results for emotional well-being among kids ages 10 to 18 years old. There’s even a sign that these programs can improve school achievement among kids who have significant emotional problems. Parents can try a bedtime talk with your child: “What was the hardest part of your day?” Gently explore it with them: “What were you feeling when that happened?” These small moments can build a child’s emotional vocabulary and can help build a new family approach to relating to emotional lives. When using their words helps them get what they want or helps them solve a problem, it creates its own reward cycle. Over time these small moments of language aren’t just about solving problems; they help our kids start to see themselves as skilled actors in their own stories, which, as research shows, is a starting point for lasting well-being. 21．What does the writer say about the words we use to describe our lives? A．They can influence our health for a long time. B．They are mainly used to manage heated moments. C．They have no effect on how we recall memories. D．They are more helpful for children than for adults. 22．The phrase “memory reconsolidation” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___________. A．the ability to recall memories more quickly B．the process of forgetting painful memories C．the act of storing a memory without any change D．the way of reshaping a memory into a new form 23．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A．Writing about painful events makes them harder to forget. B．Expressive writing programs work best for children under 10. C．Talking about feelings can help children do better at school. D．Solving problems is more important than building emotional vocabulary. 24．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．The Health Power of Putting Feelings into Words B．Why Expressive Writing Is Better Than Talking C．How to Help Children Manage Their Emotions D．The Science Behind Memory and Health 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．C 24．A 【知识点】身心健康、说明文 【导语】本文介绍用语言和文字表达情绪与经历具有强大的健康益处，它能重塑记忆、缓解痛苦，还能改善青少年情绪健康与学业表现，长期有助于建立持久的幸福感。 21．第一段指出：“the words we choose to describe our lives can shape our mental health for months and years to come.”，说明描述生活的语言可以长期影响我们的心理健康。 22．第三段指出：“We are pulling it up... reshaping it with our words... putting it back into long-term memory as a new memory. This process, known as memory reconsolidation...”，表明该词指把记忆重塑、形成新记忆的过程。 23．第四段指出：“these programs can improve school achievement among kids who have significant emotional problems.”，说明表达情绪有助于有情绪困扰的孩子提升学业表现。 24．全文围绕用语言表达情绪展开，讲述其对身心健康、记忆重塑、青少年情绪与学业的积极作用，该标题最能概括全文主旨。 Passage7 ①We all know sugar is a kind of carbohydrate (碳水化合物) that gives us energy, but too much sugar can lead to health problems like weight gain, heart problems, and toothache. So, should we stop eating sugar? ②According to Dr. Georgina Williams, a food expert at Newcastle University, the answer is no. “It’s not necessary to cut out sugar fully,” she says. In fact, we should pay attention to the types (种类) of food we eat and their nutrients (营养). For example, fruits and milk have natural sugars, but they also have important nutrients. On the other hand, some foods like biscuits, cakes, and sweets are high in added sugars and low in nutrients. These shouldn’t be eaten too much. ③When choosing food, it’s important to read labels (标签). Many foods we think are healthy, like yogurt, can be high in sugar. Dr. Williams suggests choosing foods with sugar less than 15%. ④________. Different drinks like soft drinks, fruit juices, and energy drinks are often high in sugar and calories but low in nutrients. Dr. Williams thinks water, tea, or coffee are better choices. If you really want to choose sugary drinks, don’t drink too much. ⑤Some people use artificial sweeteners (人工甜味剂) to take the place of sugar. Although they can help control sugar intake, they may have drawbacks, such as leading to stomachache or adding cancer risks. Dr. Williams suggests not using artificial sweeteners so much and, if possible, choosing a small amount of real sugar. ⑥Finally, the color of sugar doesn’t mean its health value. Brown sugar isn’t necessarily healthier than white sugar. All added sugars are taken in the same way by the body. ⑦Anyway, we don’t need to give up sugar fully. By choosing the right foods and drinks and reading labels, we can enjoy sugar while keeping a healthy diet. 25．Which of the following would Dr. Williams advise you to choose according to paragraph 3? A． B． C． D． 26．Which sentence can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4? A．As we all know, there are some risks lying in the sugar. B．Another important thing we should know is the type of drinks we choose. C．What’s more, you can find much sugar in different fruits. D．Also, it’s necessary for people to choose sugary drinks. 27．What does the underlined word “drawbacks” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Problems. B．Difficulties. C．Differences. D．Challenges. 28．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤⑥/⑦ B．①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ D．①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦ 【答案】25．A 26．B 27．A 28．A 【知识点】说明文、健康饮食 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕糖分摄入展开，介绍过量吃糖的危害、无需完全戒糖的原因，区分天然糖与添加糖、挑选食物要看配料表、谨慎选择饮品、合理看待人工甜味剂与不同颜色的糖，最后告诉我们：合理选择饮食，就能适量吃糖并保持健康饮食。 25．根据文章第三段，Dr. Williams建议选择含糖量（碳水化合物）NRV%低于15%的食物。我们对比四个选项中“Carbohydrate（碳水化合物）”对应的NRV%，只有选项A的碳水化合物NRV%为14%，满足“低于15%”的要求。 26．第四段后文全程介绍各类饮料（软饮、果汁、功能饮料）的高糖问题以及健康饮品选择。本空为段首总起句，需要引出饮品选择话题。其余选项：A总述糖分危害、C讲水果糖分、D提倡选含糖饮料，都与段落内容矛盾或无关。 27．第五段画线词后文举例：导致胃痛、增加患病风险，这些都是人工甜味剂的弊端、不良问题。drawbacks意为“缺点、弊端”，与problems（问题、弊病）含义一致；difficulties侧重“困难”，differences意为“差异”，challenges意为“挑战”，均不符合语境。 28．①段：提出问题——糖分有益但过量有害，抛出疑问：是否应该完全戒糖；②③④⑤⑥段：分点阐述专家观点，包括不必完全戒糖、区分糖分种类、看食品标签、谨慎选饮品、慎用人工甜味剂、红糖白糖无健康差距；⑦段：总结全文，点明主旨：无需戒糖，合理选择即可健康吃糖。文章结构为：提出问题—分述理由—总结观点，对应划分：①/②③④⑤⑥/⑦。 话题2 助人精神 Passage 8 One morning, Patricia was taking a walk on the busy road Estrella Parkway near her home. A car suddenly appeared and rushed past her. Luckily, she was not hurt, but the car came “very, very close,” Patricia said. Patricia and her grandson, William, often walk together on Estrella Parkway. However, there were lots of cars racing on that road. When William went to visit Patricia that evening, she told him what happened. After William heard Patricia was nearly hit by a car, he thought it was time to do something to fix that. In January 2024, William decided to go to the city council (市议会) hall. The council meetings are open to the public. When it was his turn to speak, William stood up and spoke about the problem of car racing on Estrella Parkway. “It’s very dangerous,” he said, “I wonder if you have any way to solve it.” In fact, the local government already planned to install (安装) traffic lights on Estrella Parkway. After William gave the speech at the meeting, it brought more attention to the need for safer roads. About six months after the council meeting, a new traffic light was put up and began working. Stories about William’s efforts also appeared on the local news and national TV. People were all encouraged by his speech. William also received a city award for his efforts to improve the local community. “After that happened, I felt like I could do anything.” William said. “I’m not sure what community problems to solve next,” he added, “I’ll keep exploring.” For now, William is happy with the changes on Estrella Parkway. “You don’t see cars racing each other to the end of the road and it feels much safer,” he said. 29．What happened when Patricia was walking on Estrella Parkway? A．Her leg got hurt badly. B．She met her grandson. C．A car quickly ran past her. D．Two cars hit each other. 30．Which ‘fix’ has the closest meaning to the word ‘fix’ in Paragraph 2?

A car suddenly appeared and rushed past her.”可知，帕特里夏在埃斯特雷拉公园大道散步时，一辆汽车突然出现并快速从她身边驶过。 30．根据第二段第四句“After William heard Patricia was nearly hit by a car, he thought it was time to do something to fix that.”可知，威廉听说帕特里夏差点被车撞了，他觉得是时候做点什么了，这里的fix表示解决 （汽车竞速带来的问题）。“Joe tried to fix the problems in his report.”中“fix”表示解决 （报告中的问题），与文中“fix”意思相近。 31．根据第四段第二句“After William gave the speech at the meeting, it brought more attention to the need for safer roads.”可知，威廉的演讲让更多人关注到道路安全的需求。 32．根据全文内容，威廉在得知帕特里夏的遭遇后，勇敢地在市议会会议上指出埃斯特雷拉公园大道上汽车竞速的问题，从而引起了更多人对道路安全的关注，还带来了实际的改变。 Passage 9 Volunteering is a great way to help others, which can actually help you, too. If somebody volunteers, he does something for the good of another person or the world around us, without being paid. Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be organized, such as working for a charity, or informal (非正式的), like helping your neighbours with their food shopping. Research has shown that volunteering increases our happiness. It can give you a sense of purpose, which can in turn develop your self-confidence and make you feel motivated. This is especially true if you match volunteering to your interests or learn a new skill along the way. For example, if you’re interested in nature, why not volunteer for a wildlife charity? Amy and Ella, who set up the charity Kids Against Plastic, agreed. Amy said, “Volunteering is our way to get started in making a difference, instead of waiting for someone else to do the work.” By giving to others, you feel what’s been called “the helper’s high”—a positive feeling. Volunteering can make you happier over time, too. It has been shown to reduce feelings of worries, because many people find that they are moving away from their personal worries by paying attention to the needs of others. “Volunteering also gives us a chance to meet and connect with people, which is good news for our mental (精神的) health,” said Jolie Goodman of the Mental Health Foundation. Studies have shown that volunteering can improve your physical health, too. 33．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．What is volunteering. B．How to set up a charity. C．Why we should help others. D．How many kinds of volunteer jobs there are. 34．Why does volunteering reduce feelings of worries? A．Because people have ways to deal with their worries. B．Because people will be happier after helping others. C．Because people have no time to think of their worries. D．Because people get a lot of praise when they volunteer. 35．What’s the structure of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 36．What will probably be discussed next? A．The long-term impact of volunteering. B．How middle school students can volunteer. C．How volunteering can improve our physical health. D．Different ways of volunteering in various countries. 【答案】33．A 34．C 35．D 36．C 【知识点】说明文、志愿服务 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，本文介绍了志愿服务，包括其含义、方式和影响。 【详解】33．第一段“Volunteering is a great way to help others, which can actually help you, too.”为总起句，开门见山点出志愿服务既能帮助他人也能帮助自己，因此第一段主要谈论“什么是志愿服务”。 34．第四段“because many people find that they are moving away from their personal worries by paying attention to the needs of others”说明原因：人们在关注他人需求时，会暂时放下个人烦恼，本质就是没有时间去想自己的烦恼。 35．第一段引入主题；第二段解释志愿服务及方式；第三、四段分别说明志愿服务对心理、情绪的影响，属于“总—分”结构。 36．最后一段“Studies have shown that volunteering can improve your physical health, too.”引出志愿服务对身体健康的益处，但并未展开具体说明。因此接下来很可能进一步论述志愿服务如何改善身体健康。 Passage10 In 2017, Lugazo first came to Wuhan from Tanzania. He didn’t know which way to go when he arrived at the Hankou Railway Station. Luckily, a man took him to the university by subway. Lugazo just arrived in China from Tanzania to study at Central China Normal University. The kind man, he said, was the first “Lei Feng” he met. This thing touched Lugazo. Some months later, he joined the university’s volunteer team. The next year, he was at the Wuhan Railway Station volunteering. “I couldn’t speak good Chinese at the time. My partner taught me three sentences, ‘Hello! Do you need help? May I carry your luggage for you?’” Lugazo said, “Once, after I helped an elderly woman, her 5-year-old grandson came up to me and said ‘Thank you, Lei Feng!’. That really touched me.” Lugazo always remembers the time when he taught English to children in a village of Yichang in 2021. Many of their parents worked in faraway cities, so the children lived with their grandparents. Lugazo played with the children and became friends with them. In China, the Lei Feng story is well known. These days, anyone can be named as a “Lei Feng” if they try their best to help others. 37．Which is TRUE about Lugazo in 2017? ①He came to Wuhan for travel. ②He took the subway to the university. ③He came to Wuhan for the first time. ④He went to the university with a policeman. A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④ 38．What does the underlined word “volunteer” mean in Chinese? A．运动员 B．助教 C．新生 D．志愿者 39．Lugazo went to the Wuhan Railway Station ________ the next year. A．to take a train B．to help people C．to meet new friends D．to find a 5-year-old boy 【答案】37．C 38．D 39．B 【知识点】个人经历、记叙文、志愿服务 【导语】本文讲述了来自坦桑尼亚的来华留学生Lugazo初到中国受好心人帮助后深受触动，主动加入志愿队伍长期帮助他人，践行传承雷锋精神的故事。 【详解】37．根据第一段“In 2017, Lugazo first came to Wuhan from Tanzania.”可知③正确；根据第一段“Luckily, a man took him to the university by subway.”可知②正确。 38．根据画线词所在句“Some months later, he joined the university’s volunteer team.”以及下文提到的他帮助老人、教孩子英语等行为，结合常识可知volunteer意为自愿帮助他人而不求回报的人，即“志愿者”。 39．根据第三段“The next year, he was at the Wuhan Railway Station volunteering.”以及后文描述的“helped an elderly woman”等情节可知，他去火车站的目的是为了做志愿服务，即帮助他人。 Passage11 On the first day of the New Year 2019, I decided to go to Thailand to teach English as a volunteer. At the beginning, all I cared about was travelling and seeing the world. I didn’t know how fantastic my life would be in the coming months! My journey began with attending TESOL certification(认证) course in my home state of Florida last February. After 3 weekends’ study in class and another 40 hours’ online study, I received my TESOL certificate. I was asked to keep in touch with Philip, who is Program Director of the Teach in Thailand. After discussing with Philip, I chose my school. After months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April and I couldn’t wait to visit the country! After a few weeks of travel, I met up with Philip and the other volunteer teachers in my program in Bangkok(曼谷). It was great to meet other people who were on the same journey as me, see some nice sights and walk in Thailand’s cities! After that, I attended the week-long seminar( 研讨会). At the end of the seminar, I was brought to Anuban Buriram Primary School and began my work. I really loved my job —I taught Grade 5 and 6 and I met the cleverest and most active kids in the world. It was a truly fantastic thing that I could see the difference I made in someone else’s life, right in front of me! Buriram is a small city with green rice fields. People there are more friendly, I’ve never been anywhere where a smile is so easily received. I’ve been invited to countless dinners, and been lent a guitar, a camera, and I am given Thai treats and the most delicious fresh fruits many times a week. I only hope to treat them in the future. 40．When did the writer fly to Thailand? A．In early February. B．At the end of March. C．In early April. D．At the end of May. 41．According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following sentences? ① He met with other volunteers.        ② He had a discussion with Philip. ③ He attended a seminar in Bangkok.             ④ He travelled around Thailand by himself.

B．The writer felt a sense of happiness from teaching. C．The writer didn't like the working environment in the school. D．The writer was not used to the food and living conditions there. 【答案】40．C 41．C 42．B 【知识点】记叙文、志愿服务 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者2019年前往泰国做英语志愿者教师的经历，从前期准备到当地工作与生活的感受。 40．第三段提到“After months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand in early April”，这是原文直接信息，明确指出了时间。 41．原文信息梳理事件顺序：第三段“After discussing with Philip, I chose my school.”对应②；第四段“After months of excitement, I finally flew to Thailand... After a few weeks of travel”对应④；第四段“I met up with Philip and the other volunteer teachers in my program in Bangkok”对应①；第四段“After that, I attended the week-long seminar”对应③。因此正确顺序为②④①③。 42．第五段指出“I really loved my job... It was a truly fantastic thing that I could see the difference I made in someone else’s life, right in front of me!”，可以推断出作者从教学中获得了幸福感。 Passage12 One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried. Jim and Della had two possessions (财产) which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee. Della put on her old brown jacket and her old brown hat. Then she went out of the door and down the stairs to the street. She stopped at a store. The sign in front of the store read “Hair Goods”. “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “Twenty dollars.” the woman said. Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim. She found it at last. It was a watch chain. The bill was twenty-one dollars. At seven o’clock, the coffee was made and dinner was ready. Jim was never late. Della heard his steps on the stairs. The door opened and Jim walked in. He stopped inside the door. His eyes were fixed on Della, and there was an expression in them that she could not read. “Jim,” she cried, “don’t look at me that way. I sold my hair to buy you a Christmas present.” Jim drew a box from his pocket and put it on the table. Della opened it. There lay the set of combs (梳子) that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone. She smiled and held out Jim’s present. “I hunted all over town to find it. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it.” Instead of obeying (服从), Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. “Della,” he said, “I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs.” 43．Della counted her money three times because ________. A．she was not good at counting money B．she had nothing to do but count money C．she got different numbers each time she counted it D．she wished she could have more money 44．How could Jim feel when he fixed eyes on Della? A．Shocked. B．Excited. C．Embarrassed. D．Angry. 45．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 10 refer to? A．The box. B．The watch. C．The watch chain. D．The set of combs. 46．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Beautiful Hair B．Christmas Gifts C．Disappointing Christmas D．Ancient Possessions 【答案】43．D 44．A 45．C 46．B 【知识点】文学名著、诗歌/小说 【导语】本文节选自《麦琪的礼物》，讲述了一对穷困的年轻夫妇忍痛割爱互赠圣诞礼物的故事 43．推理判断题。根据“Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas. She could not afford a present, so she sat down and cried”可知，德拉手上的钱不够买礼物，她反复地数钱，是希望钱能更多一些。故选D。 44．推理判断题。根据“There lay the set of combs (梳子) that she had always wanted. Now they were hers, but her hair was gone”可知，吉姆买了梳子做礼物，却发现德拉剪了短发，所以当时是很震惊的。故选A。 45．词句猜测题。根据“She found it at last. It was a watch chain”可知，此处I hunted all over town to find it的划线单词“it”指的是表链。故选C。 46．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了一对穷困的年轻夫妇忍痛割爱互赠圣诞礼物的故事。B选项“圣诞礼物”符合题意，故选B。 话题3 选择 Passage13 It is generally believed that we make choices based on our preferences (偏好). For example, we choose a bag because we like it better than other bags. But will we like the bag even better after we choose it? Psychologist Jack Brehm once asked some housewives to rate (给……打分) a few things based on how much they liked them. If they gave two things the same rating, they had to choose one over the other. Then they rated all the things again. This time, all the chosen things got a higher rating. Brehm then said that the act of choosing had changed the women’s preferences. But others questioned Brehm’s finding. They argued that choosing only showed preferences that were already there. A new study suggests there is truth on both sides. To see people’s preference in a scientific way, scientists used fMRI (功能性核磁共振成像) to watch brain activity in 13 volunteers when they chose the place for a vacation. In the first part of the new study, the volunteers went inside the fMRI and rated how happy it would make them to go to Greece, Thailand and other places. Then, outside the fMRI, they chose between pairs of places to which they had given the same rating. Scientists found that even though the volunteers had given the same rating to both places in each pair at first, they always chose the place that raised greater brain activity shown in the fMRI. The finding proves (证明) that choices uncover preexisting (早先存在的) preferences. But the second part of the study also backs Brehm’s point that choices can influence preferences. When the volunteers got back in the fMRI and rated how much they wanted to go to the vacation places again, they showed even higher brain activity for the chosen places. The fMRI data suggest that a person’s choice not only shows a preexisting preference but also shapes future preferences, which helps to end a huge debate in the field. Experts believe that we change our preferences after making a decision so that we won’t think over what may happen if we choose differently. So if we choose the zoo over the seaside, we will probably feel like learning more about the animals and putting our swimsuit away. 47．What did Brehm ask the housewives to do? A．To rate a few things two times. B．To make some bags together. C．To learn about many things. D．To find a place for vacation. 48．The word “shapes” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A．creates B．influences C．chooses D．proves 49．What can we learn from the new study? A．People hardly change their preferences after they make choices. B．People may like something better if they show lower brain activity. C．People show the same brain activity for the places with the same rating. D．People may still have a preference even though they give the same rating. 【答案】47．A 48．B 49．A 【知识点】说明文、科普知识 【导语】本文主要介绍了选择和偏好之间的关系。 47．细节理解题。根据“Then they rated all the things again”可知，家庭主妇对一些事物做两次评价。故选A。 48．词义猜测题。根据“But the second part of the study also backs Brehm's point that choices can influence preferences”可知，此处是说功能磁共振成像数据表明，一个人的选择不仅显示了一种预先存在的偏好，而且还影响了未来的偏好，这有助于结束该领域的巨大争论。所以划线部分单词与influences“影响”同义，故选B。 49．推理判断题。根据“The fMRI data suggest that a person’s choice not only shows a preexisting preference but also shapes future preferences, which helps to end a huge debate in the field”以及最后一段“So if we choose the zoo over the seaside, we will probably feel like learning more about the animals and putting our swimsuit away”可知，人们在做出选择后几乎不会改变他们的偏好。故选A。 Passage14 At the age of 15, Guo Shanqiuyun made an important decision to study in a middle school in the United States, and eight years later, she made an even more important decision to return to China and start her career (职业) in the countryside. Unlike her parents, who looked forward to moving to cities or going abroad, Guo and her husband chose to run after their dreams in Tangjiazhuang village in Huangshan city, Anhui province. “We believe that there are more chances in rural (农村的) areas,” says 33-year-old Guo, who is now having a happy life in the village. “We would like to explore them.” Guo is one among the increasing number of young Chinese, who have returned from overseas after their studies to pursue their dreams.

So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life. For my job, there are three important things that I will consider： The first one—that I must work in an area I like—is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do. The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated (酬劳), so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family. The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work. I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life. 53．According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people ________. A．solve fewer problems B．choose a good life C．be good family members D．provide hard things 54．The writer wants to tell us that everyone should ________. A．become a knowledgeable person B．join the army to become a better person C．make preparations to find a satisfying job D．help young people to choose an interesting job 55．What is the best title for the passage? A．My Job Choice B．My Favorite Job C．My Comfortable Life D．My Sense of Satisfaction 【答案】53．B 54．C 55．A 【知识点】意见/建议、说明文、工作与职业 【导语】本文主要讲述了选择工作的重要性以及作者对工作选择的三个重要考虑因素。 53．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life.”可知，一个好的工作选择可能会使人们选择好的生活。故选B。 54．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run.”以及通读全文可知，作者通过他选择工作考虑的三件事告诉我们，每个人都应该为找到一份理想的工作而做好准备。故选C。 55．最佳标题题。根据第二段中“For my job, there are three important things that I will consider”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了选择工作的重要性以及作者对工作选择的三个重要考虑因素，A选项“我的工作选择”为最佳标题。故选A。 话题4 语言与交流 Passage16 Once there was a manager (经理) who had a team of around 36 hard-working members. Everything seemed great. But one thing worried him: the group had a hard time communicating (交流) and sharing information with each other. Then one day, the manager had an idea. He decided to take his group to play games together, and he prepared 3 rounds (轮次) of games carefully. During the first round, the manager told everyone to blow a balloon and write their names without breaking it. And soon the team members did it successfully. After that, the manager told them to wait outside for the next round. When they went into the room again, they saw many more balloons without names around the room. The manager told them to look for the balloon with his or her name on it. The first to bring him the balloon would win, while those who broke the balloon would be out of the game. 15 minutes passed and no one was able to find his balloon, and then the manager decided to go on to the third round. For the third round, the manager told his group to pick any balloon from the room and give it to the person whose name was on it. Within just a few minutes, everyone had his balloon with his own name. The manager was very happy and discussed with his group about the reason why they didn’t find their balloons in the second round. That was because everyone paid too much attention (注意力) to his own target. However, in just a short time, they could make it in the third round because of the power of teamwork and sharing with each other. 56．Why did no one find his own balloon in the second round? A．Because there were too many balloons. B．Because the balloons were broken easily. C．Because everyone only cared about his own balloon. 57．What does the underlined word “target” probably mean? A．问题 B．目标 C．方法 58．What can we infer (推断) from the story? A．Working together is more useful than working alone. B．Balloon games are the best way to train workers. C．It is impossible to find a named balloon quickly. 59．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teamwork and sharing help people succeed. B．Balloon games can bring people happiness. C．A good manager must be good at playing games. 【答案】56．C 57．B 58．A 59．A 【知识点】记叙文、合作与交流、哲理感悟 【导语】本文讲述了一位经理为解决团队成员间沟通、信息共享不畅的问题，组织团队开展三轮气球游戏，借此传递团队协作意义的故事。 【详解】56．文章最后一段经理的总结“That was because everyone paid too much attention (注意力) to his own target.”第二轮失败的原因是每个人只关心自己的气球，没有互助。 57．该单词所在句：That was because everyone paid too much attention (注意力) to his own target . 指出那是因为每个人都太关注自己的目标了。因此target词义为“目标”。 58．文章通过对比第二轮（各自寻找，失败）和第三轮（互相协作，成功）的结果，揭示了团队合作的力量。由此可推断，合作比独自工作更有效。 59．全文讲述经理通过三轮气球游戏，让团队成员亲身体验并最终明白沟通与分享的重要性。文章最后一句“However, in just a short time, they could make it in the third round because of the power of teamwork and sharing with each other.”点明了主题。 Passage17 Have you heard of dazi? Have you ever found a dazi? These days, finding a dazi is becoming popular with Chinese young people. A dazi is a person we eat with, study with, exercise with or take a trip with, but we haven’t known him or her before. The dazi culture is about finding the right person to do the right activity with. Xiaoyue, a young woman from Ningxia, has met many dazi because of her love for basketball and biking. Having a dazi not only gives her company (陪伴) but also helps her enjoy sports more. These dazi relationships are very different from close friendships. As for close friends, we need to stay in close contact. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so. Many dazi may not meet again after a trip or a game together. So, many people believe having a dazi makes their social life easier and more comfortable. Finding a dazi shows that Chinese young people want clearer boundaries (界限) in their social relationships. Dazi will not talk or ask a lot about their personal lives. And they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves. Although finding a dazi has many good points, we should be careful and put our safety first. 60．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By giving numbers. D．By giving an example. 61．How might Xiaoyue describe having a dazi? A．Serious. B．Difficult. C．Enjoyable. D．Meaningless. 62．What does the underlined word “so” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Having a social life. B．Playing games together. C．Staying in close contact. D．Talking about personal life. 63．Why do Chinese young people like to find a dazi? ①To improve themselves.   ②To share their hobbies and interests. ③To save time and money.   ④To have boundaries in their social relationships. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 【答案】60．B 61．C 62．C 63．B 【知识点】说明文、合作与交流 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国年轻人中流行的“搭子”社交文化，介绍了搭子的定义、特点、与传统友谊的区别，以及年轻人喜欢搭子社交的原因，同时提醒大家在搭子社交中要注意安全。 【详解】60．第一段开篇连续提出两个问题：“Have you heard of dazi? Have you ever found a dazi?”，这说明作者以提问的方式开启全文。 61．第二段以宁夏女孩小月为例，文中提到 “Having a dazi not only gives her company but also helps her enjoy sports more”，这说明小月会认为有搭子是一件令人愉快的事。 62．第三段明确说明：“As for close friends, we need to stay in close contact. With a dazi, you don’t have to do so”，这说明划线词“so”指代的是“保持密切联系”这件事。 63．第四段直接点明：“Chinese young people want clearer boundaries in their social relationships... they hope these relationships can let them share their hobbies and interests, or that they can help them to improve themselves”，这说明年轻人喜欢找搭子的原因包括想要社交边界、分享爱好、提升自己，对应①②④三点。 Passage18 A good conversation happens when people are asking each other the right kinds of questions and then giving the right answers. Let’s take a look at four different types of questions you can use in a conversation. Type ①: The Open-ended Question An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with “yes” or “no”. The opposite is a closed-ended question. Closed-ended questions always end the conversation. An open-ended question allows you to learn more about the other person and gives you something to reply to. Type ②: The Follow-up Question When it comes to conversations, a follow-up question is something that is asked based on what the other person already said. In order to ask a good follow-up question, you need to listen carefully. Follow-up questions keep the conversation moving and show the other person you were listening to what they said. Type ③: The Clarifying (澄清) Question When do you need to ask a clarifying question? There are two situations. First, that is when the information you heard was unclear. And second, that is when you are having trouble understanding what the speaker is trying to express. A clarifying question can be open-ended or closed-ended.

This cultural exchange has led to a wave of people trying out many kinds of Chinese lifestyles online. These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits, such as drinking warm water instead of cold drinks; wearing slippers (拖鞋) indoors instead of walking barefoot; eating cooked vegetables rather than raw salad greens; and practising baduanjin slow exercise loved by older people. The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life from young people and the rising charm of China on the global stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with burnout. For example, these cultures stress getting close to nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang. The “Becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness (包容) and calm inside. “Many young people abroad hold a favourable view of China,” said CCTV. This shows China’s growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds, from viewing Chinese culture from afar to taking part in it. US tech magazine Wired saw this trend as part of a bigger story. Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for a long period of time, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence. 68．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is a Chinese self-care habit? A．Drinking cold drinks. B．Walking barefoot indoors. C．Eating raw salad greens. D．Practising baduanjin. 69．What does the underlined word “favourable” probably mean? A．worried B．positive C．doubtful D．careful 70．How does the writer explain Chinese lifestyle wisdom in Paragraph 4? A．By giving reasons. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By telling a story. 71．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Why Chinese lifestyles become popular abroad. B．How Chinese products are sold worldwide. C．When “Becoming Chinese” started on TikTok. D．What Western people think of Chinese lifestyle. 【答案】68．D 69．B 70．B 71．A 【知识点】说明文、中华文化、语言与文化 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道/说明文，主要讲述了全球社交媒体上兴起的“Becoming Chinese”（变身为中国人）潮流。文章介绍了这一潮流的具体表现（如喝温水、练八段锦等），分析了其背后的原因（追求健康生活、中国魅力提升），并探讨了这一现象所体现的中国软实力的增长。 68．根据第二段“These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits... and practising baduanjin slow exercise loved by older people.”可知，练习八段锦属于中国式的自我护理习惯。 69．根据第五段“Many young people abroad hold a favourable view of China... from viewing Chinese culture from afar to taking part in it.”可知，外国年轻人从“远观”中国文化转变为“参与”其中，这说明他们对中国的看法是“赞同的、积极的”。 70．根据第四段“For example, these cultures stress getting close to nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang.”可知，作者在解释中式生活智慧时使用了“For example”，通过举例子的方式来说明这些文化如何帮助人们应对倦怠。 71．通读全文可知，文章第一段引出“Becoming Chinese”潮流，第二段介绍具体表现，第三段至最后一段分析了这一潮流背后的原因（如追求健康生活、中国软实力提升、科技产品的影响等）。因此，文章的主旨是解释为什么中国生活方式在海外变得流行。 Passage20 When we talk about communication, we often think of communicating with others. But do you know that we also communicate with ourselves from time to time? Imagine this: your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes (薄饼), bread, porridge... You think it will be great to have pancakes. Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself. This kind of communication is called intrapersonal communication (自我沟通). This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. Intrapersonal communication plays a big role in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication can help you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your mind and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of negative (消极的) ideas and feelings, you’ll try to cheer up and throw away these bad ideas and feelings. What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps with your communication with others. Understanding your mind and feelings better makes you put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then you can better understand and get on with them. All in all, developing good intrapersonal communication skills is important for our personal growth and relationships with others. 72．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．By asking some questions. B．By providing (提供) a number. C．By giving an example. 73．What can we know about intrapersonal communication from Paragraph 3? A．Its history. B．Its problems. C．Its good points. 74．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 75．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Learn to Communicate With Yourself. B．Different Ways of Communication. C．How to Communicate Better With Others. 【答案】72．C 73．C 74．B 75．A 【知识点】说明文、科普知识、合作与交流 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自我沟通这一概念，阐述了自我沟通的方式，强调了自我沟通在生活中的重要作用，包括帮助更好地了解自己、关注自己的思想和情感以及有助于与他人沟通等，最后指出培养良好的自我沟通技能对个人成长和与他人的关系很重要。 72．第一段提到：“Imagine this: your mom asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: pancakes (薄饼), bread, porridge... You think it will be great to have pancakes. Before you tell your mom what you want to eat, you’re communicating with yourself.”作者通过妈妈问早餐想吃什么的例子，解释了自我沟通这一概念，所以是通过举例的方式。 73．第三段提到：“Good intrapersonal communication can help you to understand yourself better... Also, intrapersonal communication helps you to keep an eye on your mind and feelings...”，该段主要讲述了自我沟通的好处，如帮助更好地了解自己、关注自己的思想和情感等。 74．第一、二段引出自我沟通这一话题并介绍其概念；第三、四段阐述自我沟通的好处；第五段总结全文，强调培养良好自我沟通技能的重要性，所以文章结构是①②/③④/⑤。 75．文章围绕自我沟通展开，介绍了自我沟通的概念、方式、好处等，强调要学会与自己沟通，A选项“Learn to Communicate With Yourself”符合文章主旨。 Passage21 ①Body language is important in communication. However, the same body language can have very different meanings in different cultures. Here are some examples. ②Nodding your head usually means “yes”. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “no”. ③In the West, people like to look at each other when they talk. Strong eye contact (交流) is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab countries. Finns (芬兰人) and Japanese are embarrassed when others keep staring at them during a talk. They only make eye contact at the start of a discussion. ④Tapping your nose means “secret” in England. In Italy, the same gesture means “be careful”. ⑤In many cultures, like Italy and the U.S., people use their arms freely when talking. They often wave their arms around. Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it shows insincerity (不真诚) and is too dramatic. In Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite. ⑥Sitting cross-legged is common in North America and some European countries. In many countries in Asia and the Middle East, sitting like this is not respectful. 80．In which country does “nod your head” mean “No”? A．In Bulgaria. B．In Spain. C．In England. D．In Italy. 81．Peter wants to make friends with Rimi, a new Japanese student in his class. What may the writer advise (建议) him to do at the start of the talk? A． B． C． D． 82．Which of the following shows the correct structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 83．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To ask readers to use more body language. B．To tell that some cultures are better than others. C．To show the importance of respecting other cultures. D．To help readers better understand people from other cultures. 【答案】80．A 81．B 82．A 83．D 【知识点】说明文、体态语 【导语】本文主要介绍了肢体语言在不同文化中截然不同的含义，通过点头、眼神交流、轻点鼻子、挥手以及坐姿等具体实例，强调了跨文化理解在沟通中的重要性。 80．第二段明确指出了点头代表“不”的国家：“But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means ‘no’.”。这直接说明在保加利亚点头的意思是“不”。 81．第三段提到了日本人的社交习惯：“…Japanese are embarrassed when others keep staring at them during a talk. They only make eye contact at the start of a discussion.”。文中指出日本人倾向于只在谈话开始时进行眼神交流。由此可以推断，当Peter开启一段与日本学生的对话时，作者会建议他通过眼神接触（图片B所示）来示好。 82．文章第①段作为引言，提出了“同一种肢体语言在不同文化中可能有完全不同的含义”这一核心观点；接下来的第②、③、④、⑤、⑥段分别从点头、眼神、点鼻子、挥手和坐姿五个维度，以并列的方式详细举例论证。这种“总领—分述案例”的逻辑脉络契合选项A的结构图。 83． 纵观全文，作者详细列举了多个国家在肢体语言上的文化差异，其核心目的并非要求读者使用更多肢体语言，而是通过普及这些常识，帮助读者在与不同背景的人交往时避免误解，更好地理解对方。 Passage22 Are you an open book, your face showing every passing emotion, or more of a poker face, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University say that wearing your heart on your face, could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a researcher at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking differences in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, these expressions appeared as a stable personal quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressions across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressions are connected with personality, with more agreeable persons displaying more lively faces. Facial expressions can also turn into real social benefits. In a negotiation task, more expressive people are more likely to get a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that for agreeable folks, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressions serving an “affiliative (亲和的) function,” or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressions are also connected with being seen as more “readable,” suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who use facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, the next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working overtime on your behalf. 84．What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on in the study? A．Its impact. B．Its findings. C．Its limitations. D．Its significance. 85．What may facial expressions serve as in negotiation settings? A．A way to frighten competitors. B．A method to hide personalities. C．A tool to show personal quality. D．A strategy to settle disagreement. 86．What does the underlined word “decipher” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．To interpret. B．To overlook. C．To remember. D．To copy. 87．What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A．Always wearing a still face. B．Learning to be an open book. C．Speaking out inner emotions. D．Forcing a smile through tears. 【答案】84．B 85．D 86．A 87．B 【知识点】说明文、合作与交流 【导语】本文介绍了一项关于面部表情的研究，发现表情丰富、不藏情绪的人在社交中更具优势。 84．第2段主要介绍了研究的对象、观察方式以及核心发现，即面部表情的活跃度是稳定的个人特质，对应选项B“Findings（研究发现）”。 85．文中提到“dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts”，说明面部表情可以作为化解分歧、缓和矛盾的策略，对应选项D。 86．文中提到“a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to decipher”，意思是生动的表情让他人更容易理解一个人的意图和心理状态，因此“decipher”在这里的意思是“解读、理解”，对应选项A “To interpret”。 87．文章结论指出“Being facially expressive is socially advantageous”，并建议人们不要总保持扑克脸，而是要让面部表情反映自己的内心，因此作者会建议我们学会做一本“摊开的书本”，即展现真实的情绪，对应选项B。 Passage23 The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on (坚持) yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 88．According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A．become a curious reader B．have close friendships with other book lovers C．develop parasocial friendships with book characters D．discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 89．According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI ② book characters ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests ⑤ people with different interests A．①②③ B．②③④ C．③④⑤ D．①②⑤ 90．Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”? A．Real. B．Curious. C．One-sided. D．Comforting. 91．At the end of the article, the author suggests that people ________. A．replace real friends with AI friends B．read more books to discover like-minded friends C．be open to connecting with people who are different D．only make friends with those who share the same interests 【答案】88．B 89．A 90．C 91．C 【知识点】友谊、议论文、合作与交流 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者大学时难以融入集体，形成准社交友谊，并对比其与真实友谊，建议人们敞开心扉交友。 88．第一段明确指出“When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life.”，说明作者期望和爱书的人建立亲密友谊。 89．文中第二段“It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby.…It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies.”及第三段“You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend.”提到人们会和书中、电影中的角色交友，还可以通过AI创造朋友，这些都属于准社交友谊，由此确定①②③正确。 90．第四段提到“But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal.”，两句话形成对比，可推测one‑sided是reciprocal的反义词。 91．最后一段指出“But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different.”，说明作者建议人们主动接触不同的人。 话题5 环保 Passage24 The top-selling album (唱片) , Songs of the Humpback Whale, was made public in 1970. This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales, and it helped save thousands of whales’ lives. The album might never have been made without a sound engineer named Frank Watlington. In the 1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange, deep sounds. He realized they were coming from whales. Watlington played the recordings for a pair of scientists named Roger and Katy Payne. When they listened, they fell in love with these beautiful voices at once. Katy Payne studied music as well as animals, and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera singer. She also noticed another interesting fact: the sounds had clear patterns. According to scientists, an animal sound with a repeating pattern is called a song. Some scientists even compared (比较) these singing animals to musicians. The Paynes thought that other people should also hear the beauty of the whales’ songs. So Roger made the recordings into an album. At the time when the album came out, whales were often caught, killed and traded for money. Some kinds were even in danger of dying out. Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through songs. But after hearing the album, they began to think differently. The album led people to take action to save whales. Musicians began using whale songs in their music, and whales were included in movies and television shows. In 1982, a ban (禁令) to stop deep-sea whaling was made. Before it, in the 1950s and 1960s, more than fifty thousand whales per year were killed. After it, the number went down below two thousand. It might seem impossible that just one album could help save the lives of so many whales. But this album told people secrets about whales that had long been hidden under the sea. It allowed whales to finally share their songs with the human world. 92．Who first found the special voices of the whales? A．A song recorder. B．An opera singer. C．A sound engineer. D．An animal scientist. 93．What fact about the whales surprised Katy Payne? A．They could talk with scientists. B．They could sing like an opera singer. C．They could repeat interesting sounds. D．They could communicate through songs. 94．Which is one of the values of the album? A．It successfully stopped deep-sea whaling. B．It helped people understand whales better. C．It made some music and movie stars popular, D．It encouraged musicians to work with scientists. 95．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To call on people to save whales. B．To tell how a good album was made. C．To show that whales are born singers. D．To introduce an album and its stories. 【答案】92．C 93．D 94．B 95．D 【知识点】环境保护、说明文、濒危生物 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了《座头鲸之歌》这张专辑的诞生背景、内容及其如何通过展现鲸鱼的歌声改变人们对鲸鱼的认知，进而推动全球对鲸鱼的保护行动。 【详解】92．第二段指出：“The album might never have been made without a sound engineer...when he noticed some strange, deep sounds. He realized they were coming from whales.”这直接说明是一位声音工程师最先发现了鲸鱼的特殊声音。 93．第三段说明：“Katy Payne studied music as well as animals, and she was greatly surprised by how the whales communicated using sounds like an opera singer... an animal sound with a repeating pattern is called a song”鲸鱼通过有固定模式的 “歌声” 来进行交流。这也是 Katy Payne 研究的重大发现，正是这个发现让她非常惊讶。 94．第一段、第四段和最后一段指出：“This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales”“Most people had never thought that whales could communicate through ...that had long been hidden under the sea.”这些内容说明这张专辑帮助人们更好地了解鲸鱼。 95．全文围绕《座头鲸之歌》这张专辑展开，介绍了它的制作背景、内容以及它如何改变人们对鲸鱼的看法、推动鲸鱼保护，因此文章的目的是介绍这张专辑及其背后的故事。 Passage25 Snowstorms, lack of oxygen (氧气) and a freezing temperature of -20℃, Yue Kailang has experienced all these while climbing Mount Muztagata. The boy from Beijing finally reached the top of the mountain at 7,546 meters, on July 29, 2022. Yue was the youngest on the “Climate Action” climbing team. The goal of the team is to raise people’s awareness of global warming by climbing snow mountains. “I loved nature when I was a kid. I often climbed mountains in Beijing. In recent years, more and more news reports have talked about the environment being polluted, and I feel quite upset about it, ”said Yue. Feeling necessary to do something, Yue took part in the “Climate Action” project. “Mount Muztagata is a good place to observe (观测) climate change because there are large areas of mountain glaciers (冰川), ” said Yue. “I was shocked when I saw the snow line was rising every single day—the snow melts (融化) so fast that it can be seen with the naked eye! There is also a river formed by the melting snow. We can hear the loud sound of the flowing water. ” On the way to the top of the mountain, Yue also collected snow samples (样品), which were part of the project’s tasks. The samples will be given to scientists to study how air pollution and microbes (微生物) are causing the melting. “We say ‘saving Earth’ every day, but I think taking real action is more important than just talking, ” said Yue. “I hope my story can draw more young people’s attention to the serious problem of global warming. What I have experienced has shown that global warming is really not far away. ” 96．How high is Mount Muztagata? A．7,546 meters. B．7, 645 meters. C．7,465 meters. D．6,745 meters. 97．Why did Yue Kailang take part in the “Climate Action” project? A．Because he planned to make some friends in this way. B．Because he wanted to do something for the environment.

One of the busiest paths goes from the Arctic to New Zealand and Australia. A shorebird called the godwit holds the record — it can fly over 12,000 kilometers in just eight days without a stop. ②To protect these long-distance travelers, scientists built an online map called the MBHA．The map uses information from satellite trackers (卫星追踪器), bird bands (鸟环), and people watching on the ground. It has 20 years of tracking data (数据) on 98 kinds of birds. It shows where they rest, lay eggs, and stay in winter. ③The MBHA needs teamwork between countries. It connects over 1,500 wetlands (湿地) across 22 countries. Birds have no idea about countries. They follow coastlines (海岸线), avoid mountains and large areas of ocean, and choose paths with enough wetlands to rest and eat. So, a bird that lays eggs in Russia may rest in South Korea, stop in China, and spend winter in Australia. ▲ ④Take the spoon-billed sandpiper (勺嘴鹬) as an example. It lays its eggs in northeastern Russia. During its trip, it needs wetlands in China and South Korea. Finally, it will enjoy sunshine in Australia. To help the birds, the MBHA connects the countries along the path closely. ⑤China and Australia take actions first. The wetlands at the Yellow River Delta in China and Roebuck Bay in Australia are both important rest stops. They share information and protect these areas together. ⑥However, birds face new problems. A 2024 report found that climate changes are already changing bird travel times. Some birds now arrive at rest stops after the best food is gone. ⑦Another problem is that MBHA is not finished yet. The team says the map covers less than 40% of all known traveling bird kinds on this path. “What we have mapped is only a small part of the whole picture,” says the lead scientist. More work is needed to protect the birds before it is too late. 100．Why does the writer take a shorebird called “godwit” as an example in Paragraph 1? A．To show that godwits can fly to New Zealand. B．To tell that godwits do not need wetlands to rest. C．To give an example of a bird that uses the MBHA． D．To lead in the importance of building the MBHA． 101．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ? A．If China protects its wetlands, the birds will be safe. B．Birds can find another way if a key wetland is destroyed. C．If one country destroys a key wetland, the whole bird path is in danger. D．Only the country where birds lay eggs needs to protect wetlands. 102．Which of the following pictures shows the right migration path of the spoon-billed sandpiper? A． B． C． D． 103．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】100．D 101．C 102．A 103．D 【知识点】说明文、环境保护 【导语】本文介绍了科学家建立的整合20年追踪数据、连接22个国家1500多个湿地的在线地图MBHA以保护沿北极至大洋洲路线长途迁徙的候鸟，但面临气候变化导致迁徙时间改变及地图覆盖物种不足40%等挑战，亟需更多跨国合作。 【详解】100．由段落②“To protect these long-distance travelers, scientists built an online map called the MBHA.”可知，“godwit”的例子是为了引出保护这些长途迁徙鸟类的重要性，从而自然过渡到第二段MBHA的建立目的。 101．由段落③首句“The MBHA needs teamwork between countries.”可知，本段强调国际合作的重要性，C选项“如果一个国家破坏了关键湿地，整条鸟类迁徙路线就会处于危险之中”正好说明了各国湿地相互关联、缺一不可，从而解释了为什么需要国际合作。起到承上启下的作用。 102．由段落④“It lays its eggs in northeastern Russia. During its trip, it needs wetlands in China and South Korea. Finally, it will enjoy sunshine in Australia.”可知spoon-billed sandpiper的迁徙路线是：在俄罗斯东北部产卵、在中国和韩国的湿地停留，最后会在澳大利亚享受阳光。 103．① 单独为一部分：纯背景引入（候鸟迁徙现象）；② 单独为一部分：提出MBHA这个解决方案；③④⑤ 为一部分：详细阐述MBHA的跨国合作机制（必要性→举例→实践）；⑥⑦ 为一部分：面临的挑战与不足（气候问题→覆盖不足→呼吁）。 话题6 学习方法式 Passage27 Viktor Frankl, the author of Man’s Search for Meaning, once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude. To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact. All through my teens and into my early adult life, I can’t tell you the number of times that I heard, “Bob, if you’d just change your attitude, you would do a lot better.” At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it! Attitude and results are inseparable. They follow one another as night follows day. One is the cause, while the other, the result. There is a term we use to distinguish this “cause and effect” relationship, which is called the Law of Cause and Effect. Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results. Some people always see wrong things in the world. These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems, rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude. Thus, it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life. However, there are others who are forever winning and living the good life. They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen. They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another. They’re in control of their life. Their wins are a matter of choice. You can experience that kind of life as well, you only need to decide. Dorothea Brande once said, “Act as if it were impossible to fail,” and I challenge you to do so. By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day, you will change your entire outlook. You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are. Don’t wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you. Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead. 104．Why does the writer use the example of himself in Paragraph 2? A．To prove attitude changes on its own. B．To show attitude is important to the old. C．To prove the author himself was very stubborn. D．To show that understanding one’s attitude takes time. 105．What can we learn from the Law of Cause and Effect? A．Luck and chance also play an incredibly important role in the results we get. B．Our attitude plays an important role in determining the outcomes we experience. C．Blaming external circumstances can actually bring benefits to our mental health. D．Negative attitudes may occasionally bring positive results due to external factors. 106．What is the writer’s attitude towards those who believe in the power of positive mindsets (心态)? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Negative. 【答案】104．D 105．B 106．A 【知识点】说明文、方法/策略 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了态度是唯一可控的自由，态度决定结果；正面心态带来积极人生，呼吁读者主动选择态度，迎接丰盛生活。   104．第二段指出：“To be honest, it wasn’t until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact...At that time, I didn’t know what attitude was, let alone know how to change it!”，直到快30岁才理解态度的影响，年轻时听过很多次“改变态度会更好”却不明白。这说明了理解态度需要时间。 105．第三段指出：“Simply stated, if you think in negative terms, you will get negative results; if you think in positive terms, you will achieve positive results.”，负面思考带来负面结果，正面思考带来正面结果。这说明态度在决定结果中起重要作用。 106．第四段指出：“Dorothea Brande once said, ‘Act as if it were impossible to fail,’ and I challenge you to do so...Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.”，作者引用名言“表现得好像不可能失败”，并鼓励读者“每天选择思想”和“拥有选择丰盛生活的力量”，可见作者是支持积极心态的。A选项正确。B“客观”、C“怀疑”、D“否定”均不符合。 Passage28 Do you find it difficult to remember English words? Do you forget them in just a few minutes? In fact, with the right methods, you can learn words more efficiently and easily. Here are three useful rules to help you. First, learn new words through stories. When you read short stories, articles, or conversations, you can see words in real contexts. You will not only know their meanings but also understand how to use them in sentences. Words in stories are more interesting and lively, so you can remember them longer and better than by just memorizing a word list. Stories also create pictures in your mind, which makes the words stay with you for a longer time. Second, remember the words you use most often first. You don’t need to learn all the new words at once. In fact, trying to learn too many words at the same time may only make you confused (困惑的). You should start with common daily words, such as those about school, family, food, and hobbies. These are the words you are most likely to meet in real life. The more you use these words in speaking and writing, the more firmly you will remember them. Third, connect new words with your old knowledge. When you learn a new word, think of its related words. For example, when you learn “doctor”, you can think of “nurse”, “hospital”, and “patient”. ▲ Doing this helps you build a word network in your mind and makes your memory much stronger. 107．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking questions. C．By making comparison. D．By giving examples. 108．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．Listening to English songs is also a good method. B．Don’t memorize the new words unless you often meet them. C．You can also make sentences with the words you already learned. D．It will be more interesting to read English stories with your friends. 109．What is the structure of the text? A．①/②③④ B．①②③/④ C．①/②③/④ D．①/②/③④ 110．In which part of magazine can we read the text? A．Good Learners. B．Save Money. C．Greener Environment. D．Traditional Arts. 【答案】107．B 108．C 109．A 110．A 【知识点】说明文、学习策略、方法/策略 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了三种帮助高效记忆英语单词的方法，包括通过故事学习、优先记忆常用词以及将新旧知识联系起来。 【详解】107．第一段开头通过“Do you find it difficult... Do you forget them...”连续提问，引出话题。 108．最后一段讨论将新词与旧知识关联，设空处前举例“doctor”联想到“nurse, hospital, patient”，设空处后总结“这有助于建立单词网络”，因此设空处应延续举例或提出具体学习英语单词的方法，C项“用已学单词造句”符合逻辑。 109．文章结构为：第一段引出话题并总说三个方法，第二、三、四段分别介绍三个方法（②③④），因此结构为①/②③④。 110．全文围绕“高效学习英语单词的方法”，属于学习方法类内容，因此最可能出现在“Good Learners”板块。 Passage29 ①Learning a new language can sometimes make you feel tired. There are so many words and grammar to remember. However, a great teacher once said, “ ▲ ” So, why not make learning fun? What could be more fun than watching cartoons? ②Watching cartoons is a great way to learn everyday English. Instead of boring textbook sentences, you hear how kids and people really talk. Cartoon characters use simple words, funny jokes and easy slang, which makes English lively and easy to remember. ③Another good thing is learning expressions you won’t find in textbooks. For example, Mickey Mouse often says “Oh, no!” when he is in trouble, while Peppa Pig loves to say “Daddy Pig, can you help me?” These phrases are short, easy to remember, and fun to use when you talk with others. ④Cartoons also help you improve your listening skills. You can hear clear pronunciation and learn to understand simple fast speech. And if you don’t know a word, you can use subtitles to help you. ⑤Of course, this doesn’t mean it’s always easy. For beginners, some cartoons may talk too fast. But language experts say the secret is to watch actively. First, watch a short part with Chinese subtitles. Then, watch it again with English subtitles. Next, try watching without subtitles to see how much you understand. You can start with 5 to 10 minutes each time, write down useful phrases, and use them in your daily life. Next time you watch your favorite English cartoon, you may be surprised by how much you learn! ⑥Watching cartoons is a happy and useful way to learn English. If you follow the right steps, you can learn better while having fun. 111．Which of the following can be put into the ▲ ? A．Practice makes perfect. B．What we learn with joy, we never forget. C．A good beginning is half done. D．It’s never too old to learn. 112．Why does the writer mention the examples in Paragraph 3? A．To show that cartoons have useful textbook-free phrases. B．To introduce two famous cartoon characters. C．To explain what “Oh, no!” means. D．To compare two different cartoons. 113．Which is the best structure of the passage? A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①/②③/④/⑤⑥ D．①②③/④/⑤/⑥ 114．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To tell stories of language experts. B．To explain why learning English is hard. C．To introduce popular English cartoons. D．To share a fun way to learn English. 【答案】111．B 112．A 113．B 114．D 【知识点】说明文、学习策略 【导语】本文介绍了看英文卡通是一种有趣且有效的英语学习方法。 111．第1段提到“However, a great teacher once said...why not make learning fun? What could be more fun than watching cartoons?”，老师的话需要引出“快乐学习”的主题，B选项“What we learn with joy, we never forget.（我们带着快乐学习的东西，永远不会忘记）”最契合语境。 112．第3段提到“Another good thing is learning expressions you won’t find in textbooks. For example, Mickey Mouse often says ‘Oh, no!’ when he is in trouble, while Peppa Pig loves to say ‘Daddy Pig, can you help me?’”，作者举这些例子是为了说明卡通里有课本之外的实用短语。 113．文章结构：①引出“快乐学习”话题；②-⑤介绍看卡通学英语的好处和方法；⑥总结。结构为①/②③④⑤/⑥。 114．全文的目的是分享一种有趣的英语学习方法——看动画。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
