Tang Poetry: Bridges Across Time
Tang poetry, reaching its golden age during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), reflects society, nature, and human emotions with striking clarity. 1 Now let’s uncover how these verses still speak to modern hearts.
2 The “lüshi ”(律诗), an eight-line poem with demanding tonal rules, often describes landscapes or philosophical reflections. For instance, Li Bai’s Drinking Alone Under the Moon uses rhythmic patterns to combine loneliness with universal wonder, proving that structure fuels creativity rather than limiting it.
These poems explore permanent themes.They convey joys and sorrows mirroring today’s struggles.Wang Wei’s Deer Enclosure presents solitude through an empty mountain forest, while Du Fu’s Spring Prospect expresses his sadness about war’s destruction using wilted flowers. 3
4 Translations of Wang Wei’s nature poems inspired 19th-century French Impressionists, while Ezra Pound’s adaptations of Li Bai reshaped Western modernist poetry. Today, AI programs analyze Tang metrics(诗韵) to compose new “ancient-style” verses, integrating tradition with technology.
In Chinese education, Tang poetry is irreplaceable. Students memorize verses not just for exams but to connect with their heritage. 5 A 2023 study found students analyzing A Night Mooring at Maple Bridge improved metaphor interpretation skills by 40% compared to peers studying only modern texts. Teachers call it “emotional time travel” that bridges past and present.
More than relics, Tang poems are alive — quoted in speeches, sung in pop songs, and even inspiring AI-generated art. Their endurance lies in speaking the unspoken, whether in 800 AD or the digital age.
A.Tang poetry’s influence still evolves creatively.
B.Remarkably, Tang poetry bridges East and West.
C.Strict formats are seen as tools for artistic expression.
D.Scholars use these poems to study Tang Dynasty fashion trends.
E.Additionally, it contributes to cultivating the ability of thinking.
F.Meanwhile, it reveals the inclusive, optimistic and brave spirit of the times.
G.Such imagery connects modern readers to Tang-era hardships and hopes.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述唐诗在唐代达鼎盛,以严谨格式表达情感与哲思,主题永恒,影响跨中西且与时俱进,在教育中不可或缺,至今仍具生命力。
1.根据上文“Tang poetry, reaching its golden age during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), reflects society, nature, and human emotions with striking clarity.(唐诗在唐朝(公元618到907年)达到了鼎盛时期,它以极高的清晰度展现了社会、自然以及人类的情感)”可知,前文提到唐诗精准反映社会、自然与情感,本句补充其对时代精神的体现,自然过渡到“唐诗如何打动现代人”的主题。故F选项“同时,它也展现了那个时代包容、乐观和勇敢的精神。”符合语境,故选F。
2.根据后文“The “lüshi ”(律诗), an eight-line poem with demanding tonal rules, often describes landscapes or philosophical reflections. For instance, Li Bai’s Drinking Alone Under the Moon uses rhythmic patterns to combine loneliness with universal wonder, proving that structure fuels creativity rather than limiting it.(“律诗”是一种由八行组成、有着严格音韵规则的诗歌形式,常用来描绘自然景色或进行哲学思考。例如,李白的《月下独酌》就通过韵律的运用将孤独与普遍的惊奇融合在一起,证明了结构能够激发创造力而非对其加以限制)”可知,后文以律诗为例,说明李白《月下独酌》通过韵律激发创造力,C句直接点出“格式并非束缚而是工具”,与例子呼应。故C选项“严格的格式被视为艺术表达的工具。”符合语境,故选C。
3.根据上文“These poems explore permanent themes.They convey joys and sorrows mirroring today’s struggles. Wang Wei’s Deer Enclosure presents solitude through an empty mountain forest, while Du Fu’s Spring Prospect expresses his sadness about war’s destruction using wilted flowers.(这些诗歌探讨的是永恒的主题。它们传达了喜怒哀乐,反映了当今的种种困境。王维的《鹿柴》通过一片空旷的山林展现了孤独之感,而杜甫的《春望》则通过凋零的花朵表达了对战争破坏的悲痛之情)”可知,前文列举王维《鹿柴》的孤寂、杜甫《春望》的战乱之痛,G 句说明这些意象让古今情感相通,强化“永恒主题”的观点。故G选项“这种意象将现代读者与唐朝时期的艰难困苦和希望联系起来。”符合语境,故选G。
4.根据后文“Translations of Wang Wei’s nature poems inspired 19th-century French Impressionists, while Ezra Pound’s adaptations of Li Bai reshaped Western modernist poetry. Today, AI programs analyze Tang metrics(诗韵)
to compose new “ancient-style” verses, integrating tradition with technology.(王维的自然诗作的译文启发了19世纪的法国印象派画家,而埃兹拉·庞德对李白诗作的改编则重塑了西方现代主义诗歌。如今,人工智能程序通过分析唐诗的韵律来创作新的“古风”诗篇,将传统与科技相融合)”可知,后文提到王维诗歌启发法国印象派、庞德改编李白影响西方现代诗,以及AI用诗韵创作新诗,A 句概括这种“持续且创新的影响”。故A选项“唐诗的影响仍在不断创新发展。”符合语境,故选A。
5.根据上文“In Chinese education, Tang poetry is irreplaceable. Students memorize verses not just for exams but to connect with their heritage.(在中国的教育体系中,唐诗是不可或缺的一部分。学生们背诵诗歌不仅是为了应试,更是为了与自己的文化传统建立联系)”以及后文“A 2023 study found students analyzing A Night Mooring at Maple Bridge improved metaphor interpretation skills by 40% compared to peers studying only modern texts. Teachers call it “emotional time travel” that bridges past and present.( 2023年的一项研究发现,学生在分析《枫桥之夜系泊》时,其比喻理解能力比只学习现代文本的同龄人提高了40%。教师们称这种学习方式为“情感时间旅行”,它将过去与现在连接了起来)”可知,前文说学生通过唐诗连接文化遗产,E 句补充其对思维的培养,与后文“分析《枫桥夜泊》提升隐喻理解能力 40%”的研究结果呼应。故E选项“同时,它有助于培养思考能力。”符合语境,故选E。

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建三明·期末)
In an era where 70% of American adults report anxiety and UK work stress reaches a record high, coach Fiona Harrold offers practical solutions. Self-belief, she notes, serves as the ultimate defense against life’s uncertainties. Here are five proven strategies to strengthen confidence.
Build Your Identity
When self-doubt struck before writing her first book, Harrold listed why she was uniquely qualified. 1 . The trick, inspired by her father’s advice “sell it to yourself first,” rebuilt her confidence, allowing her to complete the manuscript successfully.
Build social connection
Harrold warns against isolation, citing lockdowns’ harmful mental effects. Regular community connections,
she emphasizes, maintain emotional stability and self- trust. During difficult times, friends who recognize your potential can “lend” their belief until you recover. 2 .
Practice Consistently
As we know, regular workout makes us strong. 3 . Daily exercises like positive self-talk and goal-setting gradually strengthen self-belief. Harrold concludes, “Small regular actions create lasting change — the key lies not in perfection, but in persistent effort.”
4
Tony Robbin’s famous saying “Show me your state and I’ll show your future” highlights mind-body connection. Studies show 10 minutes of fast walking boosts mental energy. Physical movement often provides fresh perspectives on problems. Harrold advises leaving negative thoughts through activities like dancing or hiking.
Stop Self-Criticism
You are your own worst critic or greatest supporter. Harrold shares a client’s story: A prisoner who began helping others during his sentence later became a motivational speaker. She urges treating mistakes as learning opportunities. “Forgive past errors,” she insists, “or self-blame will trap you in history.” Let go of what you may be blaming yourself for, either in your professional life or personal.
5 . They will equip you to transform anxiety into empowerment. Start practicing them today because your journey from self- doubt to confidence begins with the first step forward and always remember that building unshakable self-belief demands courage and action.
A.Move Your Body
B.Leave Negative Thoughts
C.So it is with confidence- building
D.True confidence starts from self-acceptance
E.That is why you need to connect with other people
F.The strategies are rooted in psychology and real-life success
G.This simple exercise transformed self-doubt into determination
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.C 4.A 5.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍五种增强自信的策略:构建身份认同、建立社交连接、持续练习、活动身体、停止自我批评,助将焦虑化为力量。
1.由上文“When self-doubt struck before writing her first book, Harrold listed why she was uniquely qualified.(在写第一本书前,当自我怀疑袭来时,哈罗德列出了自己具备独特资质的原因。)”及下文“The trick, inspired by her father’s advice “sell it to yourself first,” rebuilt her confidence, allowing her to complete the manuscript successfully.(这个技巧受到她父亲“先卖给自己”的建议的启发,重建了她的信心,让她成功地完成了手稿。)”可知,此处需要说明这一做法带来的转变。G项This simple exercise transformed self-doubt into determination.(这个简单的练习将自我怀疑转化为决心。) 中“This simple exercise”指代 “列出自身资质” 的行为,“transformed self-doubt into determination”承接上文的“self-doubt”并引出下文的“rebuilt her confidence”,清晰展现做法与效果的关联。故选G项。
2.由上文“Harrold warns against isolation, citing lockdowns’ harmful mental effects. Regular community connections, she emphasizes, maintain emotional stability and self- trust. During difficult times, friends who recognize your potential can “lend” their belief until you recover.(哈罗德警告不要隔离,理由是封锁会对精神产生有害影响。她强调,定期的社区联系可以保持情绪稳定和自信。在困难时期,认识到你潜力的朋友可以“借出”他们的信念,直到你康复。)”可知,此处需要总结社交连接的必要性。E项That is why you need to connect with other people.(这就是你需要与他人建立联系的原因。)中“That”概括上文社交带来的好处,“need to connect with other people”是对前文的总结,明确强调社交连接的重要性,逻辑闭环完整。故选E项。
3.由上文“As we know, regular workout makes us strong.(众所周知,定期锻炼能让我们变强。)”及下文“Daily exercises like positive self- talk and goal- setting gradually strengthen self- belief.(积极的自我对话和目标设定等日常锻炼逐渐增强了自信心。)”可知,此处需要建立锻炼与信心培养的类比。C项So it is with confidence-building.(建立信心也是如此。)中“So it is with”实现从“定期锻炼变强”到“日常练习增强信心”的类比,说明两者均需持续行动,自然衔接上下文逻辑。故选C项。
4.由下文“Tony Robbins’ famous saying “Show me your state and I’ll show your future” highlights mind- body connection. Studies show 10 minutes of fast walking boosts mental energy. Physical movement often provides fresh perspectives on problems. Harrold advises leaving negative thoughts through activities like dancing or hiking.(托尼·罗宾斯的名言“向我展示你的状态,我将展示你的未来”突出了身心之间的联系。研究表明,10分钟的快走可以提高精神能量。身体运动往往能为问题提供新的视角。哈罗德建议通过跳舞或徒步旅行等活动来摆脱消极的想法。)”可知,此处需要概括该部分关于身体运动的核心。A 项Move Your Body.(活动你的身体。) 中“Move Your Body”精准概括下文“fast walking, dancing, hiking”等内容,作为段落主题句,明确该策略聚焦身体运动,结构清晰。故选A项。
5.由下文“They will equip you to transform anxiety into empowerment.(它们会让你有能力将焦虑转化为力量。)”可知,此处需要说明这些策略的基础。F项The strategies are rooted in psychology and real-life success.(这些策略植根于心理学和现实生活中的成功案例。) 中“The strategies”指代上文五种方法,“rooted in psychology and real-life success”解释其可靠性,为下文“transform anxiety into empowerment”的效果提供依据,逻辑严谨。故选F项。

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建福州八县市协作校·期末)
Psychologists have conducted thousands of studies of the features people find desirable in friends. But all the studies don’t spell out clearly the practical advice about the specific approaches people can use to move from social isolation through initial acquaintance (认识) to close friendship. 1 . Here are four of them.
·Spend time together. People began to move from acquaintance to casual friend after spending around 30 hours together. It took at least 140 hours together to become a close friend. 2 . It was found that small talk about sports, for example, was less helpful for making friends than joking or showing concern.
· 3 . When you are paying attention to what your conversation partner is saying, they feel understood and accepted. How do you make it obvious you are paying attention? Making appropriate eye contact is one signal, which increases the chances that they’ll feel similar to you, and enjoy the conversation.
·Open up. 4 . Be someone that others feel at ease to confide (倾诉) in. When you embrace this openness in your relationships, you’ll attract people who value authenticity and who will be equally open with you in return.
·Don’t underestimate the power of simply reaching out. In a test, researchers asked 109 students to write a short note to someone in their social circle, simply to “check in and say hello”. Then the researchers delivered the notes and asked the receivers how much they appreciated them. 5
A.Be a responsive listener.
B.Attach importance to your communication.
C.Share your true thoughts and feelings honestly.
D.You were not as reliable as your friends had thought.
E.It also mattered what people did during those hours together.
F.If you dig, you can find a few useful strategies buried in all that research.
G.The result was that the receivers enjoyed the notes much more than the senders had expected.
【答案】1.F 2.E 3.A 4.C 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了从研究中提炼出的四个实用交友策略,包括共度时光、积极倾听、坦诚相待和主动联系。
1.由上文“But all the studies don’t spell out clearly the practical advice about the specific approaches people can use to move from social isolation through initial acquaintance (认识) to close friendship. (但所有这些研究都没有明确给出实用的建议,说明人们可以采用哪些具体方法从社交孤立状态,通过初步认识发展到亲密友谊)”及下文“Here are four of them. (这里有四个方法)”可知,上文提到研究没有明确给出从社交孤立到亲密友谊的具体方法,下文则说有四个方法,F选项“如果你深入挖掘,就能在所有这些研究中找到一些有用的策略”承上启下,说明虽然研究没有明确给出,但还是能找到一些有用的策略,符合语境。故选F。
2.由上文“People began to move from acquaintance to casual friend after spending around 30 hours together. It took at least 140 hours together to become a close friend. (人们在一起大约30个小时后,就开始从熟人变成普通朋友。要成为亲密朋友,至少需要一起度过140个小时)”及下文“It was found that small talk about sports, for example, was less helpful for making friends than joking or showing concern. (例如,研究发现,聊体育等闲聊对交朋友的作用不如开玩笑或表示关心)”可知,上文提到一起度过的时间对发展友谊的重要性,下文则提到在一起时做的事情也对交朋友有影响,E选项“人们在一起时做什么也很重要”承上启下,说明除了时间,在一起时做的事情也很重要,符合语境。故选E。
3.由下文“When you are paying attention to what your conversation partner is saying, they feel understood and accepted. How do you make it obvious you are paying attention? Making appropriate eye contact is one signal, which increases the chances that they’ll feel similar to you, and enjoy the conversation. (当你注意对方在说什么时,他们会感到被理解和接受。你如何表明你在注意听呢?进行适当的眼神交流是一个信号,这会增加他们与你产生共鸣并享受对话的机会)”可知,本段主要讲的是要注意听对方说话,让对方感到被理解和接受,A选项“做一个善于回应的倾听者”符合语境,且作为段落标题,概括了本段主旨。故选A。
4.由上文“Open up. (敞开心扉)”及下文“Be someone that others feel at ease to confide (倾诉) in. When you embrace this openness in your relationships, you’ll attract people who value authenticity and who will be equally open with you in return. (做一个让别人感到轻松倾诉的人。当你在人际关系中接受这种开放时,你会吸引那些重视真实的人,他们也会对你同样开放)”可知,上文提到要敞开心扉,下文则说要让别人感到轻松倾诉,C选项“真诚地分享你真实的想法和感受”承上启下,说明要真诚地分享自己的想法和感受,符合语境。故选C。
5.由上文“In a test, researchers asked 109 students to write a short note to someone in their social circle, simply to “check in and say hello”. Then the researchers delivered the notes and asked the receivers how much they appreciated them. (在一次测试中,研究人员让109名学生给他们社交圈里的某个人写一张便条,只是简单地“打个招呼”。然后研究人员把便条送出去,并问收件人他们有多感激这些便条)”可知,上文提到研究人员让学生写便条并询问收件人的感受,G选项“结果是,收件人比发件人预期的更喜欢这些便条”说明测试的结果,承接上文,符合语境。故选G。

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建厦门·期末)
Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. 1 Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.
Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. 2
Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. 3 Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.
4 Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.
In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. 5 Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.
A.Let yourself feel.
B.Context matters as well.
C.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
D.These shape how you stop and interpret.
E.Pay attention to how words flow together.
F.The poem’s background determines the style.
G.This is not like unlocking a “secret password”.
【答案】1.E 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了欣赏诗歌的方法。
1.根据下文“Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.(这首诗的节奏是加快还是放慢?这些变化往往反映了它的主题)” 可知,引出后文关于诗歌节奏变化的内容,因为单词组合流动的方式决定节奏,节奏变化又反映主题。E选项“注意单词是如何组合在一起流动的” 符合语境,故选E。
2.根据上文“Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization.(它们的形式,包括押韵方案、诗节划分和行长,都有助于表达意义。结构严谨的诗歌可能唤起秩序感,而破碎的诗句可能反映混乱。不要忽视标点符号或大写字母)” 可知,承接前文,说明诗歌形式中的元素以及标点产生的影响。D选项“这些决定了你如何停顿和解读” 符合语境,故选D。
3.根据上文Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention.(理解 “讲述者” 可以阐明诗歌的意图)” 及“Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.(历史事件、个人经历或文化符号可能会影响它的意义)” 可知,承上启下,引出后文关于诗歌背景对其意义产生影响的内容,说明除了理解讲述者,背景对理解诗歌也很关键。B选项“背景也很重要” 符合语境,故选B。
4.此空为段落小标题。根据下文“Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity—is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.(诗歌基于情感,没有“正确”的解读。你的反应 —— 无论是喜悦、悲伤还是好奇 —— 都是可以接受的。重新审视这首诗:每次阅读,其含义往往会发生变化。记录下它引发的问题,如果感兴趣,研究不熟悉的典故)” 可知,选项强调欣赏诗歌要跟随自己的情感,引出后文关于情感反应及重新审视诗歌等内容。A选项“让自己去感受” 符合语境,作为小标题概括该段内容,故选A。
5.根据下文“Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.(相反,它是关于欣赏声音、意象和思想的相互作用,使诗歌永恒)” 可知,选项引出后文对欣赏诗歌真正意义的阐述,通过对比说明欣赏诗歌并非追求唯一正确答案,而是感受其各元素的相互作用。故G选项“这不像解开一个“秘密密码”” 符合语境,故选G。
主题05 人与自我——情感、态度与价值观
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建宁德·期末)
Do you know what is important to you in life? Have you ever really thought about it? 1
What are values?
Values are ideas or areas in your life that you care about, such as generosity, honesty and kindness. They can be a quiet voice in your head that guides your behaviour or a set of rules that influence your actions. 2 Values are influenced by things including family, religious faith and culture and some are more important to people than others.
3
Understanding your values teaches you about yourself. If being determined is important to you, you know you try hard to succeed. Learning what matters to someone else can help you see the world through their eyes, which builds empathy. Even when people come from different backgrounds, they can share the same values. 4 In fact, people around the world are more likely to care about being trustworthy and helpful than being rich. This is nature’s way of helping humans work together and avoid conflict.
Get in touch with your values.
5 This could include books you like to read and how you relax or have fun. If you like mystery books you may value challenges, and if your favourite thing is lying on the sofa you might value feeling secure. Think about someone you admire in real life or in a book or film and what makes them special to you. Go through the list and circle those that matter most to you.
A.Why do they matter?
B.Over time your values might change.
C.Write a list of the things you enjoy.
D.They might not share the same beliefs and traditions.
E.This brings people together and helps you make friends.
F.Identifying your values helps you to know yourself better.
G.If you care about loyalty, you want to support friends when they face challenges.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.A 4.E 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了价值观的定义、重要性,以及如何发现和明确自己的价值观。
1.由上文“Do you know what is important to you in life? Have you ever really thought about it? (你知道你生活中什么是重要的吗?你真的想过这个问题吗?)”以及下文“What are values? (什么是价值观?)”对价值观的详细阐述可知,本空应引出关于价值观的探讨。F选项“Identifying your values helps you to know yourself better. (明确你的价值观有助于你更好地了解自己。)”直接回应了上文的问题,并引出了下文对价值观的讨论,符合题意。故选F。
2.由上文“What are values? (什么是价值观?)”、 “Values are ideas or areas in your life that you care about, such as generosity, honesty and kindness. They can be a quiet voice in your head that guides your behaviour or a set of rules that influence your actions. (价值观是你生活中关心的观念或领域,如慷慨、诚实和善良。它们可以是你头脑中一个安静的声音,指导你的行为,或者是一套影响你行动的规则。)”及下文“Values are influenced by things including family, religious faith and culture and some are more important to people than others. (价值观受家庭、宗教信仰和文化等因素的影响,有些价值观对人来说比其他价值观更重要。)”对价值观重要性的进一步说明可知,本空应强调价值观对个人行为的影响。G选项“If you care about loyalty, you want to support friends when they face challenges. (如果你重视忠诚,当朋友面临挑战时,你会想要支持他们。)”具体举例说明了价值观如何影响个人行为,能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
3.由下文“Understanding your values teaches you about yourself. (了解你的价值观能让你更了解自己。)”对了解价值观好处的阐述可知,本空应询问了解价值观的重要性。A选项“Why do they matter? (为什么它们很重要?)”直接提出了这个问题,引出了下文对价值观重要性的讨论,符合题意。故选A。
4.由上文“Even when people come from different backgrounds, they can share the same values. (即使人们来自不同的背景,他们也可以拥有相同的价值观。)”及下文“In fact, people around the world are more likely to care about being trustworthy and helpful than being rich. (事实上,全世界的人更关心的是值得信赖和乐于助人,而不是富有。)”可知,本空应强调相同价值观带来的积极影响。E选项“This brings people together and helps you make friends. (这能让人们走到一起,帮助你结交朋友。)”说明了相同价值观如何促进人与人之间的联系和友谊,符合题意。故选E。
5.由下文“This could include books you like to read and how you relax or have fun. (这可以包括你喜欢读的书以及你如何放松或娱乐。)”可知,本空应建议列出个人喜欢的事物。C选项“Write a list of the things you enjoy. (列出你喜欢的事物清单。)”直接提出了这个建议,能引出下文,符合题意。故选C。

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建龙岩·期末)
Tired? You Need “Sunflower Time”
Nothing will ruin your mood quite like a day at the office, stuck sitting at a desk. 1 Many people are taking it one step further by having “sunflower time”.
According to Dr. Hannah Holmes, a licensed psychologist, it’s very common for people to skip their lunch breaks and stay inside all day. 2
It might not sound like a big deal, but a lack of exposure to sunlight can lead to a bad mood, lack of energy, and even sleep problems due to the way it impacts your circadian rhythm.
Bathing in the brightness not only feels warm and relaxing, but it also releases the “feel-good” hormone serotonin (激素血清素), which is involved in regulating your mood.
3 “You are taking a few moments to yourself to simply ‘be’,” says Holmes. “This is a beautiful opportunity for mindfully enjoying the moment, which can reduce stress and reset your focus so you can return to the day feeling recharged.”
While even a quick 10 seconds spent facing the sun will feel nice, Holmes recommends aiming for five minutes, if you can. 4 You can stand, sit, listen to music, and enjoy the silence, whatever feels right.
Something else to keep in mind? Since the sun’s UV rays are strongest in the mid-afternoon, you should make an extra effort to protect your skin if you’re bathing around 3 p. m. 5
“The positive effects of the sun do still occur even with sunscreen,” says Holmes, so don’t worry about dimming its shine. Happy sunflowering!
A.Think sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and so on.
B.The benefits of “sunflower time” are psychological, too.
C.Simply go outside, face the sun, close your eyes, and relax.
D.That’s why it’s so important to take a break by going outside.
E.Sunlight exposure can improve your sleep and overall health.
F.She suggests scheduling outdoor time as a daily task.
G.They are less likely to take time to step away from work to spend some time outside.
【答案】1.D 2.G 3.B 4.C 5.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍 “向日葵时间”(晒太阳放松)的重要性:人们常因工作久坐室内,缺乏阳光照射会影响情绪、精力及睡眠。晒太阳可释放血清素,带来心理益处,建议每天安排 5 分钟 “向日葵时间”,并注意防晒。
1.根据上文“Nothing will ruin your mood quite like a day at the office, stuck sitting at a desk.(没有什么比在办公室里一整天坐在办公桌前更能让人心情低落的了)”以及后文“Many people are taking it one step further by having “sunflower time”.(许多人则更进一步,开始实行“向日葵作息法”)”可知,前句描述办公室久坐会破坏心情,后句提到许多人采取“sunflower time”作为进一步措施,推测本句说明外出休息的重要性,是前句问题的自然结论,并引出后句的“sunflower time”。故D选项“这就是为什么外出休息一下非常重要”符合语境,故选D。
2.根据上文“According to Dr. Hannah Holmes, a licensed psychologist, it’s very common for people to skip their lunch breaks and stay inside all day.(据持证心理学家汉娜·霍姆斯博士所述,人们常常会放弃午餐时间,整天
待在室内)”可知,前句引用Holmes博士观点,指出人们常跳过午餐休息、整天待在室内,本句扩展前文,G选项中“they”指代“people”,强调他们不愿抽时间外出,与“skip breaks”形成因果逻辑。故G选项“他们不太可能花时间离开工作去外面享受一下”符合语境,故选G。
3.根据上文“Bathing in the brightness not only feels warm and relaxing, but it also releases the “feel-good” hormone serotonin (激素血清素), which is involved in regulating your mood.(沐浴在明亮的光线中不仅让人感到温暖和放松,还会释放“让人愉悦”的血清素激素,这种激素与调节情绪有关)”以及后文““You are taking a few moments to yourself to simply ‘be’,” says Holmes. “This is a beautiful opportunity for mindfully enjoying the moment, which can reduce stress and reset your focus so you can return to the day feeling recharged.”(霍姆斯说:“你正在给自己留出一些时间,单纯地去‘享受当下’。这是一个绝佳的机会,让你能够全身心地享受这一刻,这能够减轻压力,重新调整你的注意力,让你在回归日常生活中时感到精力充沛。”)”可知,前句描述阳光浴的生理益处,后句引用Holmes的话,强调心理益处,本句承上启下,从生理益处过渡到心理益处,与后句Holmes的引用一致。故B选项“‘晒太阳时光’还有心理方面的益处”符合语境,故选B。
4.根据上文“While even a quick 10 seconds spent facing the sun will feel nice, Holmes recommends aiming for five minutes, if you can.(即便只是面向太阳停留短短10秒钟也会让人感觉很舒服,但霍姆斯建议,如果条件允许的话,最好能坚持5分钟)”以及后文“You can stand, sit, listen to music, and enjoy the silence, whatever feels right.(你可以站着、坐着、聆听音乐、享受宁静,做任何你觉得合适的事情)”可知,前句建议花5分钟进行阳光浴,后句描述晒太阳的方式(站立、坐下等),推测本句是在建议走到户外,故C选项“就是简单地走到户外,面向太阳,闭上眼睛,放松一下”符合语境,故选C。
5.根据上文“Something else to keep in mind? Since the sun’s UV rays are strongest in the mid-afternoon, you should make an extra effort to protect your skin if you’re bathing around 3 p.m.(还有需要注意的事项吗?由于太阳的紫外线在下午中段的强度最大,如果你在下午3点左右日光浴,就应该更加努力地保护好自己的皮肤)”可知,前句强调下午 3 点防晒,因此本句列举防晒措施。故A选项“考虑一下防晒霜、太阳镜、帽子等等”符合语境,故选A。

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建厦门外国语学校·期末)
Some pals and I were in the midst of a pinball competition at a bar the other night when the machine kept breaking down. We called over a very busy employee who’s responsible for helping keep the place running. He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinball machine twice. 1 A couple of the guys immediately objected, saying the employee was just doing the job he was paid to do. I insisted and got the group to agree to the plan, although somewhat reluctantly.
My pinball fix er didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered? 2 There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey.
3 I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far — say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra. But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so. 4
Plus, tipping is good karma (因果报应). It’s always worth it to tip in unexpected situations — ones that don’t necessarily involve a hint on a payment screen. 5 He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play.
So next time, there must be no arguments with my friends when times come to tip.
A.This leads to what’s been called “tipping fatigue”.
B.So, why am I willing to go against the trend and say yes?
C.What is the underlying reason behind this growing trend?
D.I suggested we tip him $10 and split the tip among all of us.
E.Guess what happened next with my pinball-machine fixer at the bar?
F.One dollar or two won’t make or break me, but it can possibly help with their rent.
G.If they earn far below the minimum wage, employers must make up the difference.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.B 4.F 5.E
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述和朋友在酒吧玩弹珠台,机器故障后员工帮忙维修,作者提议给员工小费这一经历,探讨了人们对小费的看法以及作者支持给小费的原因。
1.根据上文“Some pals and I were in the midst of a pinball competition at a bar the other night when the machine kept breaking down. We called over a very busy employee who’s responsible for helping keep the place running. He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinball machine twice.(前几天晚上,我和几个朋友在一家酒吧里进行弹珠台比赛,但机器总是出故障。于是我们叫来了一位非常忙碌的员工,他是负责维持酒吧正常运营的。他两次放下手头的工作,来修理我们那台出问题的弹珠台)”以及后文“A couple of the guys immediately objected, saying the employee was just doing the job he was paid to do. I insisted and got the group to agree to the plan, although somewhat reluctantly.(有几个人立刻提出了反对意见,他们认为这名员工只是在履行他所受雇应尽的职责。但我坚持自己的观点,并最终说服了大家同意这个计划,尽管大家还是有些不太情愿)”可知,上文提到了叫来了维修工维修弹珠台,后文说明“有几个人立刻提出了反对意见”,推测本句是在说明作者的提议,故D选项“我提议我们给他 10 美元小费,然后大家分摊这笔小费。”符合语境,故选D。
2.根据上文“My pinball fix er didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered?(我的那位弹球游戏爱好者并没有伸手付款,但我们又曾多少次遇到过那种支付界面,上面会提示我们为收到的那份我们点的三明治支付20%的小费呢?)”以及后文“There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey.(有数据可以证明这一趋势:根据贝克瑞特银行近期的一项调查,66%的美国成年人对给小费持负面看法,而32%的人表示已经厌倦了那些支付界面的提示信息)”可知,后文提到了“66%的美国成年人对给小费持负面看法,而32%的人表示已经厌倦了那些支付界面的提示信息”,推测本句主要说明提示付小费导致了人们的厌烦现象。故A选项“这就导致了所谓的“小费疲劳”。符合语境,故选A。
3.根据后文“I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far — say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra. But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so.(我承认有时候我会怀疑这种给小费的做法有些过头了——比如,当我在自助结账通道排队时,对方还要求额外留下一些钱。但总体来说,我还是倾向于谨慎行事:如果有人期待得到小费,那我就会认为他们这么做是有经济上的原因的)”可知,本段主要是作者在分析自己给小费的原因,本句针对后文的原因给出设问句,故B选项“那么,为什么我会违背常规,同意给他这笔钱呢?”符合语境,故选B。
4.根据上文“But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so.(但总体来说,我还是倾向于谨慎行事:如果有人期待得到小费,那我就会认为他们这么做是有经济上的原因的)”可知,上文提到作者给小费是因为认为对方需要这笔钱,本句为本段最后一句,承接上文,具体说明作者给小费的动机,故F选项“一两美元不会决定我的经济状况是好是坏,但这或许能帮他们付点房租。”符合语境,故选F。
5.根据上文“Plus, tipping is good karma (因果报应). It’s always worth it to tip in unexpected situations — ones that don’t necessarily involve a hint on a payment screen.(此外,给小费也是一种因果报应。在任何意想不到的情况下给小费都是值得的——即便这些情况并不一定是在支付界面有提示的情况下发生的)”以及后文“He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play.(他对于那10美元的小费感激不尽。当晚,他便用远超10美元的免费筹码作为回报,赠予我们整个团队用于日后的游戏消费)”可知,后文提到了对10美元的小费感激不尽,推测本句是在引出后文修理工对小费的反应话题。故E选项“那么,酒吧里的那个弹球机维修工接下来又发生了什么?”符合语境,故选E。
主题08 人与自我——个人成长与品格
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建泉州四校·期末)
Every year, Tyler VanderWeele chooses a six-week period to do things for others that might ordinarily seem too inconvenient. 1 He might give a friend an unexpected gift, invite someone out for coffee, set aside time at work to support a colleague, or bring a family member’s favorite food to the dinner table.
2 Such acts of kindness can not only make the giver and recipient feel good, but they can also promote our psychological and physical health in surprising ways. There’s convincing evidence that kindness is linked with a number of aspects of health and well-being. Some studies have indicated it can improve happiness and a sense of engagement with life and reduce symptoms of anxiety. 3 An international trial published online by Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology suggested that kindness decreases social isolation and loneliness, which are increasingly linked to a variety of negative health effects. There’s growing research that our bodies benefit too, with kindness associated with lower blood pressure and stress levels.
And focused efforts matter. 4 Performing five selfless acts on a single day each week for six weeks, as VanderWeele does, benefits more than spreading them over the course of a week. For instance, consistent volunteerism, a form of sustained kindness, is connected with living longer and functioning better as we age.
But is kindness born or made? How can kindness be developed? It may be more challenging for some, but reflecting on times when others have been kind to you can create more kindness. Pick one day a week for six straight weeks to do five kind things. 5
A.His good deeds are many and varied.
B.That person goes on to act more kindly.
C.Over time, you can become a kinder person
D.It also increases a sense of social connectedness.
E.You may believe yourself to be a very kind person.
F.These examples are more than just random displays of generosity.
G.Concentrating on kind gestures enhances well-being more powerfully
【答案】1.A 2.F 3.D 4.G 5.C

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建漳州·期末联考)
In a world that moves faster than ever, where screens flash and notifications buzz, it’s easy to feel disconnected. But what if the answers to our modern struggles were found not in the latest app, but in the wisdom of a 16th-century Chinese philosopher? Wang Yangming, a thinker who bridged the gap between mind and action, offers a timeless guide for navigating the chaos of today’s world.
The Man Behind the Philosophy: A Life of Action
Wang Yangming’s life was anything but ordinary. 1 But his greatest achievement was his philosophy, which centered on the idea of zhixing heyi — the unity of knowledge and action. “To know and not to act is not to know,” he famously said. Isn’t that exactly what we need in a world full of ideas but often lacking in action?
The Modern Dilemma: Information Overload, Action Underload
2 It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We read through endless feeds, absorbing ideas but rarely acting on them. Wang Yangmin’s philosophy reminds us that true wisdom isn’t about consuming more information; it’s about turning what we know into meaningful action.
3
Wang led military campaigns, reformed local governance, and taught students from all walks of life. His approach was practical and grounded, focused on solving real-world problems. In today’s terms, he was the ultimate problem-solver — a philosopher who didn’t just talk the talk but walked the walk. 4
So, how can you apply Wang Yangming’s wisdom to your life? Start by looking within. In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, take a moment to reflect. What do you truly believe in? What values guide your actions? 5 Whether it’s pursuing a passion, standing up for a cause, or simply being more present in your daily life, remember that knowledge without action is empty.
A.The Turning Point: Enlightenment in War.
B.The Problem-Solver: Philosophy in Practice.
C.“The mind is the principle of all things.” Wang Yangming declared.
D.Once you’ve connected with your inner knowing, take the next step: act.
E.In our modern world, we’re constantly exposed to information and opinions.
F.Born in 1472 during the Ming Dynasty, he was a scholar, a general, and a reformer.
G.And that’s exactly the kind of mindset we need in our fast-paced, ever-changing world.
【答案】1.F 2.E 3.B 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了明代哲学家王阳明的思想及其在现代社会中的应用价值。
1.上文“Wang Yangming’s life was anything but ordinary. (王阳明的一生绝非平凡)”说明王阳明的一生不平凡,空处承接上文,F选项“他出生于1472年明朝时期,是一位学者、将军和改革家”是对上文“不平凡”的具体解释,符合语境。故选F。

(王阳明领导过军事行动,改革过地方治理,并教导过各行各业的学生。他的方法既实用又接地气,专注于解决现实世界中的问题)”说明王阳明不仅是一位哲学家,还是一位将哲学思想付诸实践的解决问题者,空处位于段首,应是本段的主旨句,B选项“解决问题者:实践中的哲学”符合语境。故选B。
4.根据上文“In today’s terms, he was the ultimate problem-solver — a philosopher who didn’t just talk the talk but walked the walk. (用今天的话来说,他是一个终极的问题解决者——一个不只是纸上谈兵,而是身体力行的哲学家)”可知,此处要说明王阳明的这种哲学思想正是我们当今社会所需要的,G选项“这正是我们在快节奏、不断变化的世界中所需要的心态”承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
5.根据上文“So, how can you apply Wang Yangming’s wisdom to your life? Start by looking within. In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, take a moment to reflect. What do you truly believe in? What values guide your actions? (那么,你如何将王阳明的智慧应用到你的生活中呢?从内省开始。在一个不断将我们的注意力向外拉的世界里,花点时间反思一下。你真正相信什么?什么价值观指引着你的行动)”以及后文“Whether it’s pursuing a passion, standing up for a cause, or simply being more present in your daily life, remember that knowledge without action is empty. (无论是追求激情,还是为事业挺身而出,或者只是在日常生活中更加投入,都要记住,没有行动的知识是空洞的)”可知,此处要说明在了解了自己的内心想法后,要采取行动,D选项“一旦你与内心的认知建立了联系,就采取下一步行动”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
主题10 人与自我—— 身心健康与生活方式
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建莆田·期末)
We’ve all been there — dinner is over, but your stomach (or is it your mind?) is calling you back to the kitchen. Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). 1 . But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings.Identifying triggers (诱因)
After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. 2 . Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively.
3
The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must.Boosting protein and veggies
Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. 4 .Engaging in after-dinner movement
5 . It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings.
A.Reshaping your habits
B.Eating properly-portioned meals
C.They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals
D.They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay
E.Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits
F.Including a protein source at each meal, you feel the less urge to snack later on
G.Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.B 4.D 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四条抑制餐后食欲的建议。
1.根据前文“Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). (我们很多人都经历过餐后食欲的诱惑。)”强调我们很多人都经历过餐后食欲的诱惑。C选项“They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals (它们似乎与我们的健康目标不一致)”中的they指代前文的“cravings”,形成呼应,自出这些欲望与健康目标不一致,符合语境,故选C。
2.根据前文“After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. (餐后的渴望可能源于真正饥饿的心理需求。)”此处强调餐后的欲望来自于真正的心理需求,后文“心理需求”进行解释。G选项“Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking (压力或无聊可能会让你误以为自己饿了,导致你吃不必要的零食)”中的stress和boredom与前文的“心理需求”形成呼应,强调压力或无聊可能会让你误以为自己饿了,导致你吃不必要的零食,符合语境。故选G。
3.设空处为本段段旨,同时也为本段小标题。根据后文“The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. (你的饭量会显著影响饭后的渴望。一天中没有摄入足够的卡路里,尤其是在晚餐时,会引发一夜之间的饥饿感,因为你的身体会寻求给自己补充能量。)”可知,本段阐述的是每天要合理的安排和分配膳食。B选项“Eating properly-portioned meals (合理分配膳食)”概括本段主要内容,符合语境。故选B。
4.根据前文“Include protein and vegetables in your meals. (在你的膳食中加入蛋白质和蔬菜。)”此处强调的是饮食中蛋白质和蔬菜的重要性。D选项“They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay (它们是很好的组合,可以帮助你控制食欲)”中的combinations与前文的“蛋白质和蔬菜”形成呼应,强调二者的组合能够控制食欲,符合语境。故选D。
5.根据本段段旨“Engaging in after-dinner movement (参加餐后活动)”可知,本段建议餐后参加锻炼运动。E选项“Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits (轻微的身体活动,比如散步,有双重好处)”强调饭后散步以及轻微的身体运动的好处,符合语境。故选E。
主题01 人与自我——个人成长与自我完善
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建泉州四校·期末)
The importance of self-improvement often goes unnoticed. Truth is — you can’t run away from yourself. The idea should be to focus on continuous self-development at every stage of life. 1
Increase self-awareness
The first step of self-improvement asks you to become more self-aware. Self-awareness is an ongoing journey. As life goes on, you meet with different experiences and challenges. 2 . To be on the path of
self-improvement, it’s important to never lose touch with yourself.
Improve strengths (优点)
Self-improvement lets you identify your personal strengths. 3 . It gives you a better understanding of what you are seeking and where you are likely to thrive (繁荣兴旺). It helps you set life goals and make them happen.
Step out of the comfort zone
Choosing to work on improving yourself requires you to step out of your comfort zone. It lets you face your fears, try new things, and challenge yourself. There will be times when you’ll discover a new side of your personality. 4 . Don’t let failures get you frustrated. And never get too comfortable in familiar spaces because life begins outside your comfort zone.
5
People who’re invested in their continuous self-improvement come with an extremely positive attitude towards learning. Instead of being ignorant and escaping from their problems, they make it a point to learn from their mistakes to grow and succeed.

G.Here are some reasons why self-improvement is important regardless of your age
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.C 4.D 5.B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要列举了人们需要自我完善的几点原因。
1.根据上文说自我完善的重要性往往被忽视。而真相是你不能逃避它。而本文是文章第一段,引出话题——以下就是一些原因,无论你的年龄大小,自我完善都很重要。故选G。
2.本段小标题是Increase self-awareness(提高自我意识),而选项中的they指代是就是上文的Self-awareness,也正是本段的主旨内容。可知,随着生活的继续,你会遇到不同的经历和挑战。是它们(自我意识)使你更了解你的个性、思想和感情。故选E。
3.上文提到自我完善让你识别你的个人优势。由此可知,下文“了解你的优势很重要”切题。注意这里有同一个关键词strengths。故选C。
4.上文提到:然而,也会有你失败的时候。下文接着解释:不要让失败使你沮丧。上下文合乎逻辑,都讲的是失败时要怎么样,更切题。注意这里有同一个关键词failure。故选D。
5.本题是选择段落标题。本段主要讲了那些致力于不断地自我完善的人,对学习有着极其积极的态度。所以,培养学习态度是最佳选项。故选B。
【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即:要关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。例如本文的第3题上下文中有同一个关键词strengths。故选C。和第4题上下文中也有同一个关键词failure。故选D。
主题02 人与自我——兴趣爱好与身心健康
Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建莆田·期末)
Whether it’s painting, or sculpting tiny cupcakes out of clay, making art is good for your mind and body. 1 But you don’t have to be a full-time artist to get those health benefits. All you need to do is just making art. Here are things you need to know in particular to start your creative art habit.
2 “People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 3
Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don’t feel like that you have to stick to one thing. 4
Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 5 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. “Your creative corner is kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your comment to invest in yourself and your well-being.”
A.Let it go that you’re not an artist.
B.Do whatever you are interested in.
C.Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art.
D.It is also good to figure out your way of creative expression.
E.There are rules for how much time you should engage in art.
F.The act of creation can reduce stress and improve your mood.
G.So despite your skill level, you’ll feel all the good things from making art.
【答案】1.F 2.A 3.G 4.B 5.C

2.根据后文““People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy.(“人们倾向于认为只有那些非常擅长艺术的人才能称自己为艺术家,但每个人都有创造性表达的能力。”艺术疗法的主要研究员凯马尔说。)”可知,此处是指不要觉得自己不是艺术家,所以选项A“不要纠结你不是艺术家。”切合文意。故选A。
3.根据前文“Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands.(她的研究表明,经验丰富的艺术家和新手在健康结果上没有区别。)”可知,此处是讲无论技艺是否高超,艺术创造都能给人带来同样的健康益处,所以选项G“所以不管你的技能水平如何,你都会从创造艺术中感受到所有美好的东西。”切合文意。故选G。
4.根据前文“Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid.(从你喜欢的事情开始——也许是你以前做过的事情,也许是你小时候喜欢的事情。)”可知,此处是讲做自己喜欢的事情,所以选项B“做任何你感兴趣的事。”切合文意。故选B。

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建三明·期末)
Curiosity is defined as the“desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep. 1 It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts.
2 It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?”
One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both. 3 You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built.
4 People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour.
While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs. 5
A.Curiosity offers a variety of benefits.
B.It’s time to employ curiosity’s power.
C.Thus shallow curiosity is a gateway to a deeper world.
D.However, which you use might depend on the situation.
E.What you may be more familiar with is shallow curiosity.
F.Deep curiosity, in contrast, invites us to go beneath the surface.
G.It can even be directed to explore what’s beyond the physical world.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.D 4.A 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了好奇心的定义、作用以及好处。
1.根据上文“Curiosity is defined as the “desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep.(好奇心被定义为“求知的欲望”,但许多人没有意识到它有浅有深)”以及后文“It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts.(这是一种帮助我们收集数据和信息的问题。我们用它来学习事实)”可知,本句主要是在介绍好奇心深浅中的一种。故E选项“你可能更熟悉的是浅薄的好奇心”符合语境,故选E。
2.根据后文“It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?”(不仅仅是事实,还有未知的故事。当我们用它来了解他人时,我们对他们的核心价值观和生活经历有了丰富的了解。而不是像“你做什么工作?”,我们会问:“什么样的工作能让你充满活力?为什么?”)”可知,后文主要介绍了深层次的好奇心。故F选项“相反,强烈的好奇心邀请我们深入到表面之下”符合语境,故选F。
3.根据上文“One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both.(一种好奇心不一定比另一种好。它们只是在好处和学习方面有所不同)”以及后文“You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built.(你不会突然出乎意料地问新同学:“你童年最大的创伤是什么?”虽然我们中的一些人可能愿意如此公开地分享,但其他人可能会觉得这个问题不合适,尤其是在建立信任和亲密关系之前)”可知,后文的例子表明好奇心的使用需要视情况而定。故D选项“然而,你使用哪一种可能取决于具体情况”符合语境,故选D。
4.根据后文“People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour.(好奇心高的人往往更快乐。它还加强了我们与同学、朋友或陌生人的关系。一项研究发现,当人们对另一个人表现出真正的好奇时,他们会被认为更温暖、更有吸引力。它创造了一种“相互让步的螺旋”;当我们提出问题时,其他人更有可能给予回报)”可知,本段的主旨是好奇心的好处。故A选项“好奇心有很多好处”符合语境,故选A。
5.根据上文“While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs.(虽然好奇心通常被认为是一种了解我们自身之外的东西的方式,比如更好地了解某人,但它实际上也可以通过其他方式来引导。它帮助我们了解自己,并反思我们的信仰、欲望或需求)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,承接上文,继续说明好奇心的作用。故G选项“它甚至可以用来探索物质世界之外的世界”符合语境,故选G。

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建福州八县市协作校·期末)
We clearly live in an era with little patience. Entire TV series are available at once on streaming services, and burning questions are solved in seconds via a search engine. This instant satisfaction, undoubtedly, is killing our ability to wait. 1 . Here are some strategies to pick up that magic mix if you weren’t born with it.
● Visualize success
There’s no need to set a real situation where you wait in a super long grocery checkout line to test yourself. Simply visualizing it helps a lot. See yourself smiling and breathing as you wait for the line to move. 2 . For example, you could say, “it’s not bad to enjoy this magazine while waiting”. Your mind will start to process the picture as a real experience and help to set you up for future successes.
● Slow down
3 . We get so caught up in hurrying that we get stuck in that mode. Most adults do not feel happy when they’re rushing, and children are even less capable of doing it with a good attitude. Instead of sweating through your routine, turn on some background music you like and move at a normal pace.
● 4
The ability to let your mind wander, whether daydreaming or actively applying your imagination, is a skill that improves patience. You don’t have to get the whole paper done in one go. 5 . This helps you build up your staying power, so next time you might be more patient and more likely to focus on your task.
A.Learn to distract yourself
B.Add some positive words if possible
C.Therefore,we are getting more and more impatient
D.Racing around is not necessarily the only way to get what you want
E.But sometimes,we know a fast pace does improves our working efficiency
F.Thus, the loss of this mixed quality of tolerance and calmness is unavoidable
G.Take a break and do something that could free your brain from the work that takes tons of energy.

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建泉州·期末)
How do people respond when you have a talk with them? Maybe they brush your emotions aside or never listen to you. 1 Some tips will help you gain respect by communicating more effectively.
Use confident body language. This type of body language can increase your self-respect and help you earn people’s respect. Confident body language can include good eye contact and appropriate postures (姿势). 2 Don’t leave your arms crossed or hands in your pockets.
Improve your listening skills. Good listeners often come across as sympathetic (同情的) and caring, which are admirable qualities. A skilled listener can make others feel valued and appreciated. 3 To improve your listening skills, start by paying more attention to people during conversations. Put your phone away and focus on what they are saying rather than what you want to say in response. Give them plenty of time to speak.
4 It’s common to talk too much and start rambling (瞎扯) when you get nervous or want to make a good impression. But to gain others’ respect, you can’t ramble or talk too much about yourself. Get everyone involved and talk about shared interests or hobbies. That way, people will start valuing your input and what you say.
Keep calm and your anger in check. Sometimes you may have a difficult conversation or come into conflict with others. If you get cross, people won’t take you seriously because they’ll think you’re too emotional and unreasonable. In that case, you should have the conversation in private instead of making a scene in public. 5
A.Avoid oversharing.
B.There’s no need to fill every silence.
C.Therefore, he may be respected in return.
D.Keep your eyes forward instead of down.

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建漳州·期末联考)
Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. 1 When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents. Strong self-belief is your greatest advantage in life. So how do you build self-belief and overcome self-doubt?
Build your team
Choose your companions carefully. 2 You need people who “get you”, and see your true potential. When the going gets tough, you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it until your own has recovered and bounced back! Above all, do not get isolated (孤寂的). We need to connect with others and feel a sense of belonging and community.
Move
One of the simplest ways to change your internal state from feeling doubtful to one of enthusiasm and self-belief is to move your body. 3 You can often find a solution to a problem and a fresh new perspective from getting out of your mind and into physical activity.
Meditate (冥思)
The philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “All of humanity’s problems originate from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” You could argue that his words are more relevant in today’s times than then! 4 Otherwise, you could be constantly “on” and your nervous system could be flooded with stress, making it hard for your system to come back to balance.
Stop the criticism
5 There is no one who can do more damage to your self-belief than — you! Show compassion to your “mistakes” and perceived failings. See that no one creates success without learning along the way. Also, let go of what you may be blaming yourself for, either in your professional life or personal.
A.Forgive others, or you may stay stuck in blame.
B.They will be feeding your self-belief or starving it.
C.But we have the power to control what happens around.
D.You can be a great partner or a great enemy for yourself.
E.But your attitude and your self-belief are your cure for anxiety.
F.As little as 10 minutes of swift walking increases your energy and positive mood.
G.You need a break from the 24-hour newsfeeds and alarms from your smart phones.
【答案】1.E 2.B 3.F 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何建立自信,克服自我怀疑的建议和策略。
1.根据空前的“Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. (现在我们生活在一个焦虑的时代。)”可知,当前人们生活在焦虑的时代,结合空后的“When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents. (当你对自己有信心时,你就能最好地应对生活中的挑战。)”可知,有信心有助于更好地应对生活中的挑战,由此可知,此空处应承上启下的作用,E选项“But your attitude and your self-belief are your cure for anxiety. (但是你的态度和自信是你治疗焦虑的良药。)”讲述的内容提到解决生活中焦虑的方法,与上文为转折关系,且引出下文要讲述的话题,符合语境。故选E项。
2.根据本段的主题句“Build your team (组建你的团队)”可知,本段建议组建团队来解决焦虑问题,结合空前的“Choose your companions carefully. (仔细选择你的同伴。)”可知,建立团队需要认真挑选同伴,根据空后的“You need people who “get you”, and see your true potential. When the going gets tough, you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it until your own has recovered and bounced back! (你需要那些“理解你”,看到你真正潜力的人。当事情变得艰难时,你可能需要依靠他们对你的信任,并借用它,直到你自己的信心恢复并反弹!)”可知,建立团队后会有更多的人理解你,有困难时还会借助他们恢复信心,由此可知,此空讲述的是挑选团队同伴会带来的好处,B选项“They will be feeding your self-belief or starving it. (他们会滋养你的自信,或者让你渴望自信。)”中的they指代的为空前的“your companions”,且讲述的是这些同伴带来的好处,符合语境。故选B项。
3.根据空前的“One of the simplest ways to change your internal state from feeling doubtful to one of enthusiasm and self-belief is to move your body. (将你的内心状态从怀疑转变为热情和自信的最简单的方法之一就是运动你的身体。)”以及本段的主题句“move (运动)”可知,此处建议通过运动改变内心状态,从怀疑变成自信,F选项“As little as 10 minutes of swift walking increases your energy and positive mood. (只需10分钟的快步走就能增加你的能量和积极的情绪。)”讲述的10分钟的快步走与运动相关,而且是对空前内容的进一步解释,符合语境和主题。故选F项。
4.根据空后的“Otherwise, you could be constantly “on” and your nervous system could be flooded with stress, making it hard for your system to come back to balance. (否则,你可能会一直“兴奋”,你的神经系统可能会充满压力,使你的系统很难恢复平衡。)”可知,如果不按照此空讲述的做法,就可能会造成空后的后果,G选项“You need a break from the 24-hour newsfeeds and alarms from your smart phones. (你需要从24小时的新闻推送和智能手机的闹钟中休息一下。)”讲述的是如果不从24小时的新闻推送和智能手机的闹钟中休息一下,就可能会造成空后所讲述的结果,符合语境。故选G项。
5.根据本段的主题句“Stop the criticism (停止批评)”可知,此处建议停止批评以提高自信,结合空后的“There is no one who can do more damage to your self-belief than — you! (没有人比你自己更能伤害你的自信了!)”可知,只有你自己才能伤害自己的自信,由此可推断,此空处讲述的应是自己在培养自信方面所扮演的角色,D选项“You can be a great partner or a great enemy for yourself. (你可以成为自己的好伙伴,也可以成为自己的死敌。)”讲述的是自己既可以是自己的伙伴,也可能是自己的死敌,与空后讲述的内容一致,且与本段的主题“停止对自己的批评”吻合。故选D项。

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建厦门·期末)
Many parents are looking for ways to help their kids learn at home. Toys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like one way to achieve this goal. 1
The answer is yes. Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets. There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested. 2 Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks.
3 In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts.
There are five characteristics that make for a good educational toy: active, engaging, meaningful, encouraging social play and fun. Good play has these characteristics built in. Toys that allow children to build and create also have the advantage of being renewable. 4 It means that kids don’t become bored with them easily.
Though adults certainly don’t have to participate in the building of every block tower, some grown-up guidance can help boost kids’ learning from play. One useful tool adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind of talk encourages kids to think more deeply about math. 5 Parents can play guessing games with their kids like “Which is the most?” or play simple scorekeeping games like drop-the-clothespins-in-the-jar.
A.But do they really work?
B.Are the advertisements misleading?
C.They’re different every time children return to them.
D.Parents get involved by having math talks with kids.
E.Conveniently, math talk doesn’t require any toy purchases at all.
F.Instead, look for toys that encourage open-ended, active play and problem-solving.
G.Research shows creative, open-ended play is how young children learn STEM concepts.
【答案】1.A 2.F 3.G 4.C 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于教学玩具是否具有教育功能,好的教育玩具的特点等。
1.根据上文“Toys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like one way to achieve this goal.”(宣传教STEM的玩具似乎是实现这一目标的一种方式。)以及下文“The answer is yes. Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets.”(答案是肯定的。玩具确实可以教授科学、技术、工程和数学概念——但不要把注意力集中在广告或花哨的标签上,以找到最好的选择。)可知,下设空处为一般疑问句,就宣传教STEM的玩具是否真的能够帮助孩子学习进行提问。故A选项“它们真的有效吗?”切题。故选A项。
2.根据上文“There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested.”(玩具要贴上“STEM玩具”的标签并没有最低的教育要求,所以市场上几乎所有的东西都是未经测试的。)可知,选项与上文为转折关系,说明要寻找哪类的玩具。故F选项“相反,寻找那些鼓励开放式、积极的游戏和解决问题的玩具。”切题;下文“Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks.”(一些被证实的赢家?修补玩具、棋盘游戏、扑克牌和积木。)承接F选项,列举了一些被证实具有教育功能的玩具。故选F项。
3.下文“In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts.”(例如,在学前教育中,建造复杂的积木建筑与数学学习的提高有关。积木、拼图和形状玩具可以提高空间技能。反过来,空间技能与后来的数学学习有关,这表明早期对形状的探索是学习更复杂数学概念的跳板。)通过举例,具体说明了创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。所以选项总起下文说明创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。故G选项“研究表明,创造性的、开放式的游戏是幼儿学习STEM概念的方式。”切题。故选G项。
4.上文“Toys that allow children to build and create also have the advantage of being renewable.”(让孩子们建造和创造的玩具也具有可再生的优势。)指出,让孩子们建造和创造的玩具具有可以变换更新的特点;C选项“每次返给孩子们时,他们都不一样。”承接上文,继续阐述这些玩具的特点,选项中“They”指代上文中的“Toys that allow children to build and create”,“different every time children return to them”与上文“renewable”相对应;下文“It means that kids don’t become bored with them easily.”(这意味着孩子们不会轻易对它们感到厌倦。)承接C选项,阐述这些玩具每次都不同所带来的益处,“It”指代C选项的内容。故选C项。
5.根据上文“One useful tool adults can use while playing with their children is “math talk”. This kind of talk encourages kids to think more deeply about math.”(成年人可以使用与他们的孩子玩耍是“数学谈话”。这种谈话鼓励孩子们更深入地思考数学。)可知,选项承接上文说明“数学谈话”的优势。故E选项“方便的是,数学谈话根本不需要购买任何玩具。”切题。故选E项。

Tang Poetry: Bridges Across Time
Tang poetry, reaching its golden age during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), reflects society, nature, and human emotions with striking clarity. 1 Now let’s uncover how these verses still speak to modern hearts.
2 The “lüshi ”(律诗), an eight-line poem with demanding tonal rules, often describes landscapes or philosophical reflections. For instance, Li Bai’s Drinking Alone Under the Moon uses rhythmic patterns to combine loneliness with universal wonder, proving that structure fuels creativity rather than limiting it.
These poems explore permanent themes.They convey joys and sorrows mirroring today’s struggles.Wang Wei’s Deer Enclosure presents solitude through an empty mountain forest, while Du Fu’s Spring Prospect expresses his sadness about war’s destruction using wilted flowers. 3
4 Translations of Wang Wei’s nature poems inspired 19th-century French Impressionists, while Ezra Pound’s adaptations of Li Bai reshaped Western modernist poetry. Today, AI programs analyze Tang metrics(诗韵) to compose new “ancient-style” verses, integrating tradition with technology.
In Chinese education, Tang poetry is irreplaceable. Students memorize verses not just for exams but to connect with their heritage. 5 A 2023 study found students analyzing A Night Mooring at Maple Bridge improved metaphor interpretation skills by 40% compared to peers studying only modern texts. Teachers call it “emotional time travel” that bridges past and present.
More than relics, Tang poems are alive — quoted in speeches, sung in pop songs, and even inspiring AI-generated art. Their endurance lies in speaking the unspoken, whether in 800 AD or the digital age.
A.Tang poetry’s influence still evolves creatively.
B.Remarkably, Tang poetry bridges East and West.
C.Strict formats are seen as tools for artistic expression.
D.Scholars use these poems to study Tang Dynasty fashion trends.
E.Additionally, it contributes to cultivating the ability of thinking.
F.Meanwhile, it reveals the inclusive, optimistic and brave spirit of the times.
G.Such imagery connects modern readers to Tang-era hardships and hopes.

Passage 1
(23-24高二下·福建三明·期末)
In an era where 70% of American adults report anxiety and UK work stress reaches a record high, coach Fiona Harrold offers practical solutions. Self-belief, she notes, serves as the ultimate defense against life’s uncertainties. Here are five proven strategies to strengthen confidence.
Build Your Identity
When self-doubt struck before writing her first book, Harrold listed why she was uniquely qualified. 1 . The trick, inspired by her father’s advice “sell it to yourself first,” rebuilt her confidence, allowing her to complete the manuscript successfully.
Build social connection
Harrold warns against isolation, citing lockdowns’ harmful mental effects. Regular community connections, she emphasizes, maintain emotional stability and self- trust. During difficult times, friends who recognize your potential can “lend” their belief until you recover. 2 .
Practice Consistently
As we know, regular workout makes us strong. 3 . Daily exercises like positive self-talk and goal-setting gradually strengthen self-belief. Harrold concludes, “Small regular actions create lasting change — the key lies not in perfection, but in persistent effort.”
4
Tony Robbin’s famous saying “Show me your state and I’ll show your future” highlights mind-body connection. Studies show 10 minutes of fast walking boosts mental energy. Physical movement often provides fresh perspectives on problems. Harrold advises leaving negative thoughts through activities like dancing or hiking.
Stop Self-Criticism
You are your own worst critic or greatest supporter. Harrold shares a client’s story: A prisoner who began helping others during his sentence later became a motivational speaker. She urges treating mistakes as learning opportunities. “Forgive past errors,” she insists, “or self-blame will trap you in history.” Let go of what you may be blaming yourself for, either in your professional life or personal.
5 . They will equip you to transform anxiety into empowerment. Start practicing them today because your journey from self- doubt to confidence begins with the first step forward and always remember that building unshakable self-belief demands courage and action.
A.Move Your Body
B.Leave Negative Thoughts
C.So it is with confidence- building
D.True confidence starts from self-acceptance
E.That is why you need to connect with other people
F.The strategies are rooted in psychology and real-life success
G.This simple exercise transformed self-doubt into determination

Psychologists have conducted thousands of studies of the features people find desirable in friends. But all the studies don’t spell out clearly the practical advice about the specific approaches people can use to move from social isolation through initial acquaintance (认识) to close friendship. 1 . Here are four of them.
·Spend time together. People began to move from acquaintance to casual friend after spending around 30 hours together. It took at least 140 hours together to become a close friend. 2 . It was found that small talk about sports, for example, was less helpful for making friends than joking or showing concern.
· 3 . When you are paying attention to what your conversation partner is saying, they feel understood and accepted. How do you make it obvious you are paying attention? Making appropriate eye contact is one signal, which increases the chances that they’ll feel similar to you, and enjoy the conversation.
·Open up. 4 . Be someone that others feel at ease to confide (倾诉) in. When you embrace this openness in your relationships, you’ll attract people who value authenticity and who will be equally open with you in return.
·Don’t underestimate the power of simply reaching out. In a test, researchers asked 109 students to write a short note to someone in their social circle, simply to “check in and say hello”. Then the researchers delivered the notes and asked the receivers how much they appreciated them. 5
A.Be a responsive listener.
B.Attach importance to your communication.
C.Share your true thoughts and feelings honestly.
D.You were not as reliable as your friends had thought.
E.It also mattered what people did during those hours together.
F.If you dig, you can find a few useful strategies buried in all that research.
G.The result was that the receivers enjoyed the notes much more than the senders had expected.
主题04 人与自我——学习策略与方法
Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建厦门·期末)
Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. 1 Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.
Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. 2
Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. 3 Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.
4 Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.
In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. 5 Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.
A.Let yourself feel.
B.Context matters as well.
C.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
D.These shape how you stop and interpret.
E.Pay attention to how words flow together.
F.The poem’s background determines the style.
G.This is not like unlocking a “secret password”.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建宁德·期末)
Do you know what is important to you in life? Have you ever really thought about it? 1
What are values?
Values are ideas or areas in your life that you care about, such as generosity, honesty and kindness. They can be a quiet voice in your head that guides your behaviour or a set of rules that influence your actions. 2 Values are influenced by things including family, religious faith and culture and some are more important to people than others.
3
Understanding your values teaches you about yourself. If being determined is important to you, you know you try hard to succeed. Learning what matters to someone else can help you see the world through their eyes, which builds empathy. Even when people come from different backgrounds, they can share the same values. 4 In fact, people around the world are more likely to care about being trustworthy and helpful than being rich. This is nature’s way of helping humans work together and avoid conflict.
Get in touch with your values.
5 This could include books you like to read and how you relax or have fun. If you like mystery books you may value challenges, and if your favourite thing is lying on the sofa you might value feeling secure. Think about someone you admire in real life or in a book or film and what makes them special to you. Go through the list and circle those that matter most to you.
A.Why do they matter?
B.Over time your values might change.
C.Write a list of the things you enjoy.
D.They might not share the same beliefs and traditions.
E.This brings people together and helps you make friends.
F.Identifying your values helps you to know yourself better.
G.If you care about loyalty, you want to support friends when they face challenges.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建龙岩·期末)
Tired? You Need “Sunflower Time”
Nothing will ruin your mood quite like a day at the office, stuck sitting at a desk. 1 Many people are taking it one step further by having “sunflower time”.
According to Dr. Hannah Holmes, a licensed psychologist, it’s very common for people to skip their lunch breaks and stay inside all day. 2
It might not sound like a big deal, but a lack of exposure to sunlight can lead to a bad mood, lack of energy, and even sleep problems due to the way it impacts your circadian rhythm.
Bathing in the brightness not only feels warm and relaxing, but it also releases the “feel-good” hormone serotonin (激素血清素), which is involved in regulating your mood.
3 “You are taking a few moments to yourself to simply ‘be’,” says Holmes. “This is a beautiful opportunity for mindfully enjoying the moment, which can reduce stress and reset your focus so you can return to the day feeling recharged.”
While even a quick 10 seconds spent facing the sun will feel nice, Holmes recommends aiming for five minutes, if you can. 4 You can stand, sit, listen to music, and enjoy the silence, whatever feels right.
Something else to keep in mind? Since the sun’s UV rays are strongest in the mid-afternoon, you should make an extra effort to protect your skin if you’re bathing around 3 p. m. 5
“The positive effects of the sun do still occur even with sunscreen,” says Holmes, so don’t worry about dimming its shine. Happy sunflowering!
A.Think sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and so on.
B.The benefits of “sunflower time” are psychological, too.
C.Simply go outside, face the sun, close your eyes, and relax.
D.That’s why it’s so important to take a break by going outside.
E.Sunlight exposure can improve your sleep and overall health.
F.She suggests scheduling outdoor time as a daily task.
G.They are less likely to take time to step away from work to spend some time outside.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建厦门外国语学校·期末)
Some pals and I were in the midst of a pinball competition at a bar the other night when the machine kept breaking down. We called over a very busy employee who’s responsible for helping keep the place running. He put everything aside to fix our problematic pinball machine twice. 1 A couple of the guys immediately objected, saying the employee was just doing the job he was paid to do. I insisted and got the group to agree to the plan, although somewhat reluctantly.
My pinball fix er didn’t stretch out his hand, but how many times have we run across those payment screens that suggest a 20% tip for being handed a sandwich we ordered? 2 There is data to back up the trend: 66% of American adults have a negative view of tipping, and 32% say they’re sick of those payment-screen hints, according to a recent Bankrate survey.
3 I admit there are times I suspect the tipping thing has gone too far — say, when I’m at a self-checkout line and there’s still request to leave something extra. But I’m generally willing to err on the side of caution: If someone is expecting a tip, I’ll assume they have financial reasons to do so. 4
Plus, tipping is good karma (因果报应). It’s always worth it to tip in unexpected situations — ones that don’t necessarily involve a hint on a payment screen. 5 He was so grateful for the $10 tip that later that night, he rewarded our group with well more than $10 in free tokens (代金券) for future play.
So next time, there must be no arguments with my friends when times come to tip.
A.This leads to what’s been called “tipping fatigue”.
B.So, why am I willing to go against the trend and say yes?
C.What is the underlying reason behind this growing trend?
D.I suggested we tip him $10 and split the tip among all of us.
E.Guess what happened next with my pinball-machine fixer at the bar?
F.One dollar or two won’t make or break me, but it can possibly help with their rent.
G.If they earn far below the minimum wage, employers must make up the difference.

Passage 1
(24-25高二下·福建泉州四校·期末)
Every year, Tyler VanderWeele chooses a six-week period to do things for others that might ordinarily seem too inconvenient. 1 He might give a friend an unexpected gift, invite someone out for coffee, set aside time at work to support a colleague, or bring a family member’s favorite food to the dinner table.
2 Such acts of kindness can not only make the giver and recipient feel good, but they can also promote our psychological and physical health in surprising ways. There’s convincing evidence that kindness is linked with a number of aspects of health and well-being. Some studies have indicated it can improve happiness and a sense of engagement with life and reduce symptoms of anxiety. 3 An international trial published online by Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology suggested that kindness decreases social isolation and loneliness, which are increasingly linked to a variety of negative health effects. There’s growing research that our bodies benefit too, with kindness associated with lower blood pressure and stress levels.
And focused efforts matter. 4 Performing five selfless acts on a single day each week for six weeks, as VanderWeele does, benefits more than spreading them over the course of a week. For instance, consistent volunteerism, a form of sustained kindness, is connected with living longer and functioning better as we age.
But is kindness born or made? How can kindness be developed? It may be more challenging for some, but reflecting on times when others have been kind to you can create more kindness. Pick one day a week for six straight weeks to do five kind things. 5
A.His good deeds are many and varied.
B.That person goes on to act more kindly.
C.Over time, you can become a kinder person
D.It also increases a sense of social connectedness.
E.You may believe yourself to be a very kind person.
F.These examples are more than just random displays of generosity.
G.Concentrating on kind gestures enhances well-being more powerfully

In a world that moves faster than ever, where screens flash and notifications buzz, it’s easy to feel disconnected. But what if the answers to our modern struggles were found not in the latest app, but in the wisdom of a 16th-century Chinese philosopher? Wang Yangming, a thinker who bridged the gap between mind and action, offers a timeless guide for navigating the chaos of today’s world.
The Man Behind the Philosophy: A Life of Action
Wang Yangming’s life was anything but ordinary. 1 But his greatest achievement was his philosophy, which centered on the idea of zhixing heyi — the unity of knowledge and action. “To know and not to act is not to know,” he famously said. Isn’t that exactly what we need in a world full of ideas but often lacking in action?
The Modern Dilemma: Information Overload, Action Underload
2 It’s easy to feel overwhelmed. We read through endless feeds, absorbing ideas but rarely acting on them. Wang Yangmin’s philosophy reminds us that true wisdom isn’t about consuming more information; it’s about turning what we know into meaningful action.
3
Wang led military campaigns, reformed local governance, and taught students from all walks of life. His approach was practical and grounded, focused on solving real-world problems. In today’s terms, he was the ultimate problem-solver — a philosopher who didn’t just talk the talk but walked the walk. 4
So, how can you apply Wang Yangming’s wisdom to your life? Start by looking within. In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, take a moment to reflect. What do you truly believe in? What values guide your actions? 5 Whether it’s pursuing a passion, standing up for a cause, or simply being more present in your daily life, remember that knowledge without action is empty.
A.The Turning Point: Enlightenment in War.
B.The Problem-Solver: Philosophy in Practice.
C.“The mind is the principle of all things.” Wang Yangming declared.
D.Once you’ve connected with your inner knowing, take the next step: act.
E.In our modern world, we’re constantly exposed to information and opinions.
F.Born in 1472 during the Ming Dynasty, he was a scholar, a general, and a reformer.
G.And that’s exactly the kind of mindset we need in our fast-paced, ever-changing world.

(24-25高二下·福建莆田·期末)
We’ve all been there — dinner is over, but your stomach (or is it your mind?) is calling you back to the kitchen. Many of us experience the temptation of after-dinner cravings (渴望). 1 . But why do they happen, even if you’ve eaten well all day? Let’s unpack the science behind these urges and explore practical solutions to help reduce the likelihood of after-dinner cravings.Identifying triggers (诱因)
After-dinner cravings can stem from psychological needs to genuine hunger. 2 . Meanwhile, if your meals throughout the day lack sufficient protein or calories, your body might be signaling a real need for additional nutrients. It’s essential to distinguish between the two to address them effectively.
3
The size of your meals can significantly influence after-dinner cravings. Not getting enough calories throughout the day, particularly at dinner, can trigger hunger suffering overnight, as your body seeks to fuel itself. Conversely, overeating can lead to uncomfortable fullness and potentially disrupt your metabolism (新陈代谢) and sleep patterns. Finding the right balance is a must.Boosting protein and veggies
Protein boasts a high satiety (饱腹感) index thanks to its ability to trigger the release of appetite-regulating hormones (激素). Vegetables, too, work in promoting satiety. Their high fiber content slows down digestion, and their high water content adds volume to meals without adding significant calories. Include protein and vegetables in your meals. 4 .Engaging in after-dinner movement
5 . It’s not only good for digestion, but helps stabilize blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the sharp rises and drops that can trigger cravings. The act of moving your body can elevate levels of endorphins, hormones known to promote feelings of well-being and potentially reduce cravings.
A.Reshaping your habits
B.Eating properly-portioned meals
C.They can seemingly be at odds with our health goals
D.They’re great combinations to help you keep cravings at bay
E.Light physical activity, like walking, offers a two-fold benefits
F.Including a protein source at each meal, you feel the less urge to snack later on
G.Stress or boredom may trick you into thinking you’re hungry, causing unnecessary snacking

The importance of self-improvement often goes unnoticed. Truth is — you can’t run away from yourself. The idea should be to focus on continuous self-development at every stage of life. 1
Increase self-awareness
The first step of self-improvement asks you to become more self-aware. Self-awareness is an ongoing journey. As life goes on, you meet with different experiences and challenges. 2 . To be on the path of self-improvement, it’s important to never lose touch with yourself.
Improve strengths (优点)
Self-improvement lets you identify your personal strengths. 3 . It gives you a better understanding of what you are seeking and where you are likely to thrive (繁荣兴旺). It helps you set life goals and make them happen.
Step out of the comfort zone
Choosing to work on improving yourself requires you to step out of your comfort zone. It lets you face your fears, try new things, and challenge yourself. There will be times when you’ll discover a new side of your personality. 4 . Don’t let failures get you frustrated. And never get too comfortable in familiar spaces because life begins outside your comfort zone.
5
People who’re invested in their continuous self-improvement come with an extremely positive attitude towards learning. Instead of being ignorant and escaping from their problems, they make it a point to learn from their mistakes to grow and succeed. This is a wonderful quality to have as having a learning attitude is instrumental in achieving success.

All you need to do is just making art. Here are things you need to know in particular to start your creative art habit.
2 “People tend to think that only those who are very skilled at art can call themselves artists, but everyone is capable of creative expression,” says Kaimal, a leading researcher in art therapy. Her research has shown that there are no differences in health outcomes between experienced artists and green hands. 3
Start with what you enjoy — maybe something you’ve done before, maybe something you were fond of as a kid. Keep an open mind. Anything that engages your creative mind, such as finger painting, baking, knitting, etc, is good for you. And don’t feel like that you have to stick to one thing. 4
Think about making art like any healthy habit. Just as you make time to work out, you should make time for your artistic creation. 5 Kaimal suggests setting up a corner table for your art supplies. “Your creative corner is kind of like a reminder,” she says. “It shows your comment to invest in yourself and your well-being.”
A.Let it go that you’re not an artist.
B.Do whatever you are interested in.
C.Besides time, spare a physical space in your home for art.
D.It is also good to figure out your way of creative expression.
E.There are rules for how much time you should engage in art.

Curiosity is defined as the“desire to know”, but many people don’t realize it ranges from shallow to deep. 1 It’s the kind of questioning that helps us to collect data and information. We use it to learn facts.
2 It’s not just about facts, but about unknown stories. When we use it to learn about other people, we get a rich insight into their core values and life experiences. Instead of a simple question like “What do you do for work?”, we ask, “What kind of work makes you come alive, and why?”
One type of curiosity is not necessarily better than the other. They’re just different with benefits and learning from both. 3 You wouldn’t ask a new classmate suddenly and unexpectedly, “What’s your biggest childhood trauma (创伤)?” While some of us might be willing to share so openly, others may not find the question appropriate, especially before trust and closeness have been built.
4 People with higher levels of curiosity tend to be happier. It also strengthens our relationships — whether with our classmates, friends, or strangers. A study found that when people show genuine curiosity towards another person, they’re rated as warmer and more attractive. It creates that “give-and-take spiral”; when we ask questions, others are more likely to return the favour.
While curiosity is usually regarded as a way to learn about what’s outside of ourselves, such as better understanding someone, it can actually be channeled in other ways, too. It helps us understand ourselves, and reflect on our beliefs, desires, or needs. 5
A.Curiosity offers a variety of benefits.
B.It’s time to employ curiosity’s power.
C.Thus shallow curiosity is a gateway to a deeper world.
D.However, which you use might depend on the situation.
E.What you may be more familiar with is shallow curiosity.
F.Deep curiosity, in contrast, invites us to go beneath the surface.

We clearly live in an era with little patience. Entire TV series are available at once on streaming services, and burning questions are solved in seconds via a search engine. This instant satisfaction, undoubtedly, is killing our ability to wait. 1 . Here are some strategies to pick up that magic mix if you weren’t born with it.
● Visualize success
There’s no need to set a real situation where you wait in a super long grocery checkout line to test yourself. Simply visualizing it helps a lot. See yourself smiling and breathing as you wait for the line to move. 2 . For example, you could say, “it’s not bad to enjoy this magazine while waiting”. Your mind will start to process the picture as a real experience and help to set you up for future successes.
● Slow down
3 . We get so caught up in hurrying that we get stuck in that mode. Most adults do not feel happy when they’re rushing, and children are even less capable of doing it with a good attitude. Instead of sweating through your routine, turn on some background music you like and move at a normal pace.
● 4
The ability to let your mind wander, whether daydreaming or actively applying your imagination, is a skill that improves patience. You don’t have to get the whole paper done in one go. 5 . This helps you build up your staying power, so next time you might be more patient and more likely to focus on your task.
A.Learn to distract yourself
B.Add some positive words if possible
C.Therefore,we are getting more and more impatient
D.Racing around is not necessarily the only way to get what you want
E.But sometimes,we know a fast pace does improves our working efficiency
F.Thus, the loss of this mixed quality of tolerance and calmness is unavoidable
G.Take a break and do something that could free your brain from the work that takes tons of energy.

How do people respond when you have a talk with them? Maybe they brush your emotions aside or never listen to you. 1 Some tips will help you gain respect by communicating more effectively.
Use confident body language. This type of body language can increase your self-respect and help you earn people’s respect. Confident body language can include good eye contact and appropriate postures (姿势). 2 Don’t leave your arms crossed or hands in your pockets.
Improve your listening skills. Good listeners often come across as sympathetic (同情的) and caring, which are admirable qualities. A skilled listener can make others feel valued and appreciated. 3 To improve your listening skills, start by paying more attention to people during conversations. Put your phone away and focus on what they are saying rather than what you want to say in response. Give them plenty of time to speak.
4 It’s common to talk too much and start rambling (瞎扯) when you get nervous or want to make a good impression. But to gain others’ respect, you can’t ramble or talk too much about yourself. Get everyone involved and talk about shared interests or hobbies. That way, people will start valuing your input and what you say.
Keep calm and your anger in check. Sometimes you may have a difficult conversation or come into conflict with others. If you get cross, people won’t take you seriously because they’ll think you’re too emotional and unreasonable. In that case, you should have the conversation in private instead of making a scene in public. 5
A.Avoid oversharing.
B.There’s no need to fill every silence.
C.Therefore, he may be respected in return.
D.Keep your eyes forward instead of down.
E.Try to make your message as clear as possible.

Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. 1 When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents. Strong self-belief is your greatest advantage in life. So how do you build self-belief and overcome self-doubt?
Build your team
Choose your companions carefully. 2 You need people who “get you”, and see your true potential. When the going gets tough, you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it until your own has recovered and bounced back! Above all, do not get isolated (孤寂的). We need to connect with others and feel a sense of belonging and community.
Move
One of the simplest ways to change your internal state from feeling doubtful to one of enthusiasm and self-belief is to move your body. 3 You can often find a solution to a problem and a fresh new perspective from getting out of your mind and into physical activity.
Meditate (冥思)
The philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “All of humanity’s problems originate from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” You could argue that his words are more relevant in today’s times than then! 4 Otherwise, you could be constantly “on” and your nervous system could be flooded with stress, making it hard for your system to come back to balance.
Stop the criticism
5 There is no one who can do more damage to your self-belief than — you! Show compassion to your “mistakes” and perceived failings. See that no one creates success without learning along the way. Also, let go of what you may be blaming yourself for, either in your professional life or personal.
A.Forgive others, or you may stay stuck in blame.
B.They will be feeding your self-belief or starving it.
C.But we have the power to control what happens around.
D.You can be a great partner or a great enemy for yourself.
E.But your attitude and your self-belief are your cure for anxiety.
F.As little as 10 minutes of swift walking increases your energy and positive mood.
G.You need a break from the 24-hour newsfeeds and alarms from your smart phones.

(23-24高二下·福建厦门·期末)
Many parents are looking for ways to help their kids learn at home. Toys advertised as teaching STEM might seem like one way to achieve this goal. 1
The answer is yes. Toys can indeed teach science, technology, engineering and math concepts — but don’t focus on advertising or fancy labels to find the best bets. There’s no minimum educational requirement that toys must reach to label themselves a “STEM toy”, so almost everything on the market is untested. 2 Some proven winners? Tinkertoys, board games, decks of cards and building blocks.
3 In preschool, for example, the construction of complex block buildings is associated with an improvement in math learning. Blocks, puzzles and shape toys boost spatial skills. Spatial skills, in turn, are associated with later math learning, suggesting that the early exploration of shapes acts as a springboard for more complex math concepts.
