Passage 1
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam, her heart sank. 1
“Envy was eating me up,” recalls Eugenie. She was clearly filled with jealousy at that moment. 2 “And I told her I failed and admitted I was green-eyed,” she says. Eugenie knew that being frank would ease her envy and, but she was surprised that when she shifted her attitude, she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn.
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, the great joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. 3 “Freudenfreude is like a kind of social glue,” says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. “It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.” This feeling is similar to positive empathy—the ability to share someone else’s joy. A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could encourage kind actions, like helping people. It could also improve life satisfaction, and even help people cooperate during conflicts.
4 However, we seldom pay enough attention to their happy moments. In fact, how we react to our friends’ joy is even more important than how we respond to their suffering. Too often, we think of joy passively. We see it as something that comes to us, instead of something we can produce. While it can be difficult in practice, freudenfreude can lift us up and brighten our day. 5
A.But anyway she congratulated her friend.
B.She had failed the same test weeks earlier.
C.So celebrating our friends’ success is a win-win to us all.
D.Sharing our failures with friends often brings us closer together.
E.This positive emotion plays a key role in human communication.
F.Envy is a common emotion, but it can be transformed into admiration.
G.Too often, we think our friends need us most during their hard times: a job loss, getting divorced.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.E 4.G 5.C
【导语】文章主要通过Eugenie George的经历引出“freudenfreude”这一积极情绪,并阐述了这种情绪在人际关系中的重要作用。
1.由上文“When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam, her heart sank. (当Eugenie George第一次听说她的朋友通过了金融考试时,她的心一沉。)”以及下文“‘Envy was eating me up,’ recalls Eugenie. (Eugenie回忆道:‘嫉妒吞噬着我。’)”可知,本空要说明她心沉的原因,B选项“She had failed the same test weeks earlier. (几周前她参加了同样的考试但失败了。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“failed the same test”解释了她“heart sank”的原因,且该选项中的“failed”与下文的“Envy”相呼应,表示考试失败导致嫉妒情绪的产生。
2.由上文“She was clearly filled with jealousy at that moment. (那一刻她显然充满了嫉妒。)”以及下文“‘And I told her I failed and admitted I was green-eyed,’ she says. (她说:‘我告诉她我失败了,并承认自己嫉妒了。’)”可知,本空要说她在嫉妒情绪下的行为,A选项“But anyway she congratulated her friend. (但不管怎样,她还是祝贺了她的朋友。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“But anyway”表示转折,说明尽管嫉妒她仍做出了积极行为,且该选项中的“congratulated her friend”与下文的“told her I failed”相呼应,表示她先祝贺再坦白的先后顺序。
3.由上文“Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, the great joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. (为他人的好运感到快乐是社会学家称之为‘freudenfreude’的东西,即当别人成功时我们感受到的巨大喜悦,即使这与我们无直接关系。)”以及下文“‘Freudenfreude is like a kind of social glue,’ says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. ‘It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.’ (‘Freudenfreude就像一种社会粘合剂,’Ursinus学院心理学教授Catherine Chambliss说,‘它让关系更亲密、更愉快。’)”可知,本空要承接上文对这种积极情绪的定义并引出下文其作用,E选项“This positive emotion plays a key role in human communication. (这种积极情绪在人类交流中起着关键作用。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“This positive emotion”指代上文的“freudenfreude”,且该选项中的“plays a key role”与下文的“social glue”和“makes relationships closer and more enjoyable”相呼应,表示这种情绪在人际交往中的重要作用。
4.由下文“However, we seldom pay enough attention to their happy moments. (然而,我们很少足够关注他们的快乐时刻。)”可知,本空与下文构成转折关系,G选项“Too often, we think our friends need us most during their hard times: a job loss, getting divorced. (我们常常认为朋友在困难时期最需要我们:失业、离婚。)”能引出下文,符合题意,该选项中的“hard times”与下文的“happy moments”形成对比,且该选项中的“we think our friends need us most”与下文的“we seldom pay enough attention”相呼应,通过转折强调我们对朋友快乐时刻关注不足。
5.由上文“While it can be difficult in practice, freudenfreude can lift us up and brighten our day. (虽然在实践中可能很难,但freudenfreude可以鼓舞我们,照亮我们的一天。)”可知,本空要对全文进行总结,C选项“So celebrating our friends’ success is a win-win to us all. (所以庆祝朋友的成功对我们所有人来说都是双赢。)”能总结全文,符合题意,该选项中的“So”表示因果关系,总结前文,且该选项中的“celebrating our friends’ success”与上文的“freudenfreude”和全文主题相呼应,表示为他人成功感到快乐是一种双赢的结果。

Passage 3
How to Build Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is often misunderstood as something you either have or you don’t. In reality, it is a skill that can be developed through practice. 1 The key lies not in avoiding challenges but in approaching them with the right mindset.
One of the most effective ways to build confidence is to take action despite fear. Many people wait until they feel ready before trying something new. 2 Confidence comes from doing, not from waiting. Don’t hesitate to step out of your comfort zone.
3 The way you speak to yourself shapes your beliefs about your abilities. Negative self-talk creates mental barriers that are hard to break. When you find yourself engaging in such thoughts, pause and question their truth. Replace them with more balanced statements, such as “This is challenging, but I can improve with practice.”
Another important factor is how you respond to failure. Those who lack confidence often view mistakes as proof of their limitations. 4 So instead of seeing failure as your worth, treat it as learning. Ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” This shift turns setbacks into stepping stones.
The people around you shape your self-perception greatly. Surrounding yourself with those who believe in you and offer support makes tough situations easier to handle. Conversely, constant criticism from others can wear down your self-belief, no matter how capable you are. 5
Building confidence is not a destination but an ongoing process. Progress may feel slow, but each step strengthens your ability to face new challenges.
A.Pay attention to your inner voice.
B.Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
C.The good news is that you can actively strengthen it.
D.Pay little attention to what you are saying to yourself.
E.Those who succeed, however, see failure differently.
F.However, waiting for readiness often means waiting forever.
G.The people you spend time with matter more than you might think.
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.A 4.E 5.G
【导语】本文主要介绍如何建立自信。
1.根据前文“In reality, it is a skill that can be developed through practice. (事实上,自信是一种可以通过练习培养的技能。)”以及后文“The key lies not in avoiding challenges but in approaching them with the right mindset. (关键不在于逃避挑战,而在于用正确的心态面对它们。)”可知,前文指出自信可以后天培养,空格处承接上文,进一步说明人们可以主动增强自信。C选项“The good news is that you can actively strengthen it. (好消息是你可以主动增强它。)”中的it指代前文名词skill即self-confidence,并引出下文培养自信的关键做法。
2.根据前文“Many people wait until they feel ready before trying something new. (许多人会等到自己准备好后再尝试新事物。)”以及后文“Confidence comes from doing, not from waiting. (自信源于行动,而非等待。)”可知,前文讲述人们习惯性等待准备充分,后文否定等待、强调行动。F选项“However, waiting for readiness often means waiting forever. (然而,等待准备就绪往往意味着永远等待。)”中However表转折,反驳消极等待的做法,衔接前后文,逻辑紧密。
3.根据后文“The way you speak to yourself shapes your beliefs about your abilities. Negative self-talk creates mental barriers that are hard to break.(自我对话的方式会塑造你对自身能力的认知。消极的自我对话会制造难以突破的心理障碍。)”可知,本段围绕自我内心的对话与心理暗示展开论述。A选项“Pay attention to your inner voice. (留意自己的内心声音。)”作为本段中心句,总领下文内容,概括段落主旨。
4.根据前文“Those who lack confidence often view mistakes as proof of their limitations. (缺乏自信的人常把错误当作自身能力不足的证明。)”以及后文“So instead of seeing failure as your worth, treat it as learning. (不要把失败等同于自身价值,而要将其视作学习的机会。)”可知,前后形成对比,分别介绍自卑者与成功者对待失败的不同态度。E选项“Those who succeed, however, see failure differently. (然而,成功者对失败有着不同的看法。)”形成正反对比,过渡自然,引出下文正确看待失败的观点。
5.根据前文“Surrounding yourself with those who believe in you and offer support makes tough situations easier to handle. Conversely, constant criticism from others can wear down your self-belief, no matter how capable you are. (与信任并支持自己的人相处能缓解困境;反之,他人的持续批评会消磨自信,无论你有多能干。)”可知,本段重点讲述身边人对个人自信心的巨大影响。G选项“The people you spend time with matter more than you might think. (朝夕相处的人带来的影响远超想象。)”总结本段内容,强化人际交往对塑造自我认知的重要性,收束本段论述。
Passage 4
The blank page can be one of the most awful parts of writing. Whether you’re a full-time author, or a student with an essay assignment, looking at that empty document when you don’t know where to start can be disheartening. 1 There is: Prewriting, the first step of the writing process. Let’s explore some types of prewriting strategies.
Brainstorming is helpful for quick idea generation. To brainstorm during prewriting, students can write down all their ideas on a topic as they come up with them. 2 If they come to mind, you can add them to your page or document.
Like brainstorming, freewriting allows students to put all their ideas on a topic on paper. The difference is that freewriting is structured compared to a brainstorming session. Typically, the first step of freewriting is setting a timer for a period, like five minutes. 3
Journaling is the ongoing process of writing down thoughts, questions, and ideas when you have them so you can refer back to them later. Journaling can be a less intense version (版本) of freewriting. 4 Carry a journal with you and write when inspiration strikes.
5 Knowing what prewriting methods exist and being able to test them out on a variety of projects can help students figure out what works best for them.
A.No ideas are bad.
B.You can use the 5Ws and 1H questions.
C.How to jump over the blank page to next step?
D.It happens over time rather than in short, timed blocks.
E.During that time, you write about your topic without stopping.
F.No single strategy is most effective for every writer or project.
G.What if there were a magic solution to take away the blank page?
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.E 4.D 5.F
【导语】文章介绍了写作中空白页令人沮丧,而预写是解决之道,还说明了头脑风暴、自由写作、日记写作等预写策略及选择适合方法的重要性。
1.根据上文“The blank page can be one of the most awful parts of writing. Whether you’re a full-time author, or a student with an essay assignment, looking at that empty document when you don’t know where to start can be disheartening. (面对空白页面,往往是写作过程中最让人头疼的环节。无论你是专职作家,还是需要写论文的学生,对着空白文档、毫无头绪时,都会感到沮丧。)”可知,上文提到空白文档不知如何下笔令人沮丧,下文“There is: Prewriting, the first step of the writing process. (有一个办法:预写作,是写作过程中的第一步。)”引出预写作这一解决办法,空处应起承上启下作用,引出解决方案,G选项“倘若有一种神奇办法能解决空白文档难题呢?”以假设提问方式自然过渡,承接上文困境,同时引出下文对策。
2.根据上文“Brainstorming is helpful for quick idea generation. To brainstorm during prewriting, students can write down all their ideas on a topic as they come up with them. (头脑风暴有助于快速产生想法。在预写阶段进行头脑风暴时,学生们可以将想到的所有关于某个主题的想法都记录下来。)”可知,上文介绍头脑风暴就是想到什么就写下什么,A选项“没有什么想法是不好的。”承接上文,直接解释了头脑风暴的核心原则,契合头脑风暴自由发散想法的特点。
3.根据上文“Like brainstorming, freewriting allows students to put all their ideas on a topic on paper. The difference is that freewriting is structured compared to a brainstorming session. Typically, the first step of freewriting is setting a timer for a period, like five minutes. (与头脑风暴类似,自由写作能让学生将关于某个主题的所有想法都写在纸上。不同之处在于,自由写作是有一定结构的,而头脑风暴则没有这种结构。通常,自由写作的第一步是设定一个计时器,比如五分钟。)”可知,上文提到自由写作需设定时间,空处承接上文,解释了定时后的具体做法,E选项“在那段时间里,你不停地写关于你的主题的内容。”承接计时这一前提,介绍计时期间的具体做法。
4.根据上文“Journaling is the ongoing process of writing down thoughts, questions, and ideas when you have them so you can refer back to them later. Journaling can be a less intense version (版本) of freewriting. (写日记是一个持续的过程,当你产生想法、疑问或灵感时就把它们写下来,以便日后查阅。写日记可以看作是自由写作的一个较为轻松的版本。)”可知,写日记是持续记录想法的过程,也是强度低的自由写作形式,空处继续描述自由写作这一特点,D选项“它是随着时间的推移而发生的,而不是在短时间、限时的片段内完成的。”进一步解释写日记的特点,与上文内容呼应。
5.根据下文“Knowing what prewriting methods exist and being able to test them out on a variety of projects can help students figure out what works best for them. (了解现有的各种预写方法,并能在不同的项目中对其进行实践检验,能够帮助学生找到最适合自己的方法。)”可知,下文表示尝试多种预写作方法能帮学生找到最适合自己的方式,空处引出下文关于选择适合方法的内容,F选项“没有一种策略对每个作者或每个项目都最有效。”与下文形成顺承关系,引出尝试多种策略的重要性。
Passage 5
The Library’s Quiet Keeper
When we talk about heroes, we often think of people with big titles or famous achievements. But some of the most inspiring people work quietly behind the scenes, making life better for everyone around them. 1
Ms. Chen, the librarian at our school, has worked in the school library for over 15 years. Every school day, she arrives at the library before sunrise, even before the first students step into the building. 2 She knows every corner of the library, from the highest shelf to the quietest study nook, and remembers exactly where every favorite book is kept.
What makes Ms. Chen so special is how she goes far beyond her basic duties. When students are stressed before exams, she leaves small encouraging notes on their favorite books. 3 She even stays late after school to help students who struggle with finding research materials, never rushing them or showing impatience.
For new students who feel lost or lonely at the start of the year, Ms. Chen is always there to welcome them. She remembers their names, asks about their favorite books, and often recommends new stories based on their interests. 4
Many students say the library feels like a second home because of Ms. Chen. “She doesn’t just run a library — she makes it a place where we feel seen and cared for,” one student said. 5 For her, being someone students can count on is the greatest reward of all.
A.To students at our school, that quiet hero is Ms. Chen.
B.She also keeps a box of extra stationery for students who forget theirs.
C.These small, warm gestures make even the shyest students feel welcome.
D.She carefully checks every returned book and arranges them neatly on the shelves.
E.Even on weekends, she sometimes comes in to organize new books or tidy the reading area.
F.She has no plans to leave her job anytime soon, because she loves being part of the students’ lives.
G.Students often leave her handwritten thank-you notes, but she keeps them all private and never brags about them.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.G
【导语】讲述学校图书管理员陈女士默默坚守岗位十五年,日常认真打理图书馆,用暖心举动关怀、陪伴学生成长,是同学们身边默默奉献的平凡英雄。
1.根据上文“But some of the most inspiring people work quietly behind the scenes, making life better for everyone around them.(但有些最励志的人在幕后默默付出,让身边人的生活变得更美好)”结合下文对陈女士的介绍可知,空格处引出本文的平凡英雄——陈老师。A选项“To students at our school, that quiet hero is Ms. Chen.(对我们学校的学生来说,那位默默奉献的英雄就是陈老师)”承上启下。
2.根据上文“Every school day, she arrives at the library before sunrise, even before the first students step into the building.(她每天日出前就来到图书馆,甚至早于第一批到校学生)”可知,空格处介绍她到馆后做的日常工作。D选项“She carefully checks every returned book and arranges them neatly on the shelves.(她仔细检查每一本归还的书籍,并把它们整齐摆放到书架上)” 承接上文。
3.根据上文“When students are stressed before exams, she leaves small encouraging notes on their favorite books.(学生考前压力大时,她会在他们爱看的书上留下鼓励便条)”和下文“She even stays late after school to help students who struggle with finding research materials, never rushing them or showing impatience.(她甚至在放学后留下来很晚,帮助那些难以找到研究资料的学生,从不催促他们,也从不表现出不耐烦)”可知,空格处应补充她另一项暖心举动。B选项“She also keeps a box of extra stationery for students who forget theirs.(她还备着一盒多余文具,借给忘带文具的学生)”承接上文。
4.根据上文“She remembers their names, asks about their favorite books, and often recommends new stories based on their interests.(她记住新生名字,关心他们的爱好,并根据兴趣推荐书籍)”可知,空格处总结这些暖心举动带来的效果。C选项“These small, warm gestures make even the shyest students feel welcome.(这些细小又温暖的举动,让即使最内向的学生也有归属感)”承接上文。
5.根据下文““She doesn’t just run a library — she makes it a place where we feel seen and cared for,” one student said..(一位学生说:“她不仅仅是管理一座图书馆,更把这里变成了一个让我们倍感被重视、被温暖关怀的地方。”)”可知,空处应继续补充学生对陈老师的反馈,以及陈老师的态度。G选项“Students often leave her handwritten thank-you notes, but she keeps them all private and never brags about them.(学生经常给她手写感谢信,但她都私下收好,从不炫耀)”符合语境,同时为后文她认为被学生依靠是最大奖励做铺垫。

Passage 1
How to Truly Understand “Knowing Me, Knowing You” in Daily Communication
The unit theme “Knowing Me, Knowing You” is not just a simple sentence, but a practical principle for daily communication. To put it into practice, we need to master some simple but useful skills, which can help us know ourselves better and understand others more deeply.
1 . Before talking with others, take a moment to think about your own feelings and thoughts: what do you want to express? What are your bottom lines? Only when you are clear about your own heart can you express your true self to others.
It’s important to show your true self, and it’s more important to listen to others sincerely. 2 . When others are talking, put down your phone, look at them and don’t interrupt. Try to catch not only their words but also their hidden feelings, which is the first step to understand others.
3 , try to put yourself in their shoes. For example, if your classmate is late for the group meeting, don’t judge them as lazy at once — maybe they have an emergency. Thinking from others’ perspective can help you avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and truly understand their choices.
Respecting others’ differences is also a key part of “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. 4 . Everyone has their own personalities and hobbies, and there is no absolute right or wrong. Accepting these differences can make your communication more harmonious and make you know more different people.
5 . “Knowing Me, Knowing You” is a lifelong lesson, not just a unit theme. It needs us to practice with sincerity in every daily communication, to reflect on our own behavior, and to learn from every interaction. Only in this way can we truly master the meaning of it and build genuine interpersonal relationships.
A.Learn to reflect on your communication and keep practicing
B.First of all, be clear about your own feelings and thoughts
C.If you don’t understand others’ behavior or choices at first
D.True listening is not just hearing words but understanding the feelings behind them
E.We should force others to change their hobbies to fit in with us
F.Everyone is unique, and we should accept others’ different personalities and hobbies
G.We should always talk about our own ideas and ignore others’ opinions
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.F 5.A
【导语】文章介绍了日常人际交往中做到知人知己的实用方法。
1.根据下文“Before talking with others, take a moment to think about your own feelings and thoughts: what do you want to express? What are your bottom lines? Only when you are clear about your own heart can you express your true self to others.(在和他人交谈前,花一点时间静下心来思考自己的内心感受与想法:你想要表达什么?你的底线是什么?只有看清自己的内心,才能向他人展现真实的自我。)”可知,本段核心是认清自己的感受和想法,B选项“首先,清楚自己的感受和想法”总领本段。
2.根据上文“It’s important to show your true self, and it’s more important to listen to others sincerely.(展现真实的自我十分重要,而真诚倾听他人则更为关键。)”和下文“When others are talking, put down your phone, look at them and don’t interrupt.( 当别人说话时,放下手机、注视对方,不要随意打断。)”可知,本段主题是真诚倾听,D选项“真正的倾听不只是听话语,还要理解背后的情绪”承接上文的 “sincerely listen”,又引出下文捕捉对方隐藏情绪的内容,贴合段落主旨。
3.下文“try to put yourself in their shoes. For example, if your classmate is late for the group meeting, don’t judge them as lazy at once — maybe they have an emergency.(尝试换位思考。例如,如果同学小组会议迟到,不要立刻判定对方懒惰——或许他遇到了突发急事。)”举例说明不要急于评判、要换位思考,C选项“如果你一开始不理解别人的行为或选择”引出换位思考的场景,衔接自然。
4.根据上文“Respecting others’ differences is also a key part of “Knowing Me, Knowing You”.(尊重他人的差异,也是“知人知己”的重要一环。)”和下文“Everyone has their own personalities and hobbies, and there is no absolute right or wrong. Accepting these difference…(每个人都有自己的个性与喜好,本就没有绝对的对错之分。接纳这些差异……)”可知,F选项“每个人都是独一无二的,我们应接纳他人不同的性格和爱好”契合首句“尊重差异”,也和后文接纳个性爱好的内容对应。
5.根据下文““Knowing Me, Knowing You” is a lifelong lesson, not just a unit theme. It needs us to practice with sincerity in every daily communication, to reflect on our own behavior, and to learn from every interaction.( “知人知己”是一门终身必修课,绝不只是一个单元主题。它需要我们在每一次日常交流中以真心践行,反思自身言行,在每一次人际互动中学习成长。)”可知,本段是总结升华,提到终身学习、日常练习、自我反思,A选项“学会反思自己的沟通并坚持践行”完美概括本段结尾主旨,收束全文。
Passage 2
I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life. 1 This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. 2 There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or economic pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For old people, those who have trouble moving, or people without much money, it opens a door to the world that real trips can hardly give.
3 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and interact face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such interactions wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected. 4 In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to grow, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. 5
A.Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
B.I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
C.My feet were killing me after a long journey.
D.It is convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E.Quite often, we find ourselves tired out during real travel.
F.Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
G.It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.G 5.F
【导语】文章主要介绍虚拟现实旅行的优势,同时对比实地旅行独有的体验与价值,阐明虚拟现实无法取代真实出行。
1.根据前文“I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life.(戴上头戴设备,转瞬之间我便置身别样天地。北极熊漫步在北极冰原上,片刻后,我又身处博物馆内,近距离观赏着一幅从未亲眼见过的画作)” 可知作者身处原地却仿佛四处游历;空后“This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home. (这便是虚拟现实的魅力:足不出户,便能领略万千世界)” 解释能产生该体验的原因,选项B“I am not moving, yet I am traveling.(我身形未动,却已然踏上旅途)” 承接前文的具体场景描述,点明VR的核心特征——身体未动,心灵已远,引出下文。

Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected.(虚拟旅行的场景与感官体验均为预设编排,全程可控。反观现实旅行,处处充满未知变数)”及后文“In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.(在这些意外瞬间里,感悟源于亲身经历,而非单纯的影像记录)”可知,空前说明真实旅行充满变数,空后讲述突发瞬间带来真切感悟,选项G“It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.(它需要抉择、适应,时刻应对意外状况)”承接真实旅行的未知特性。
5.根据前文“Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand.(但它终究无法替代亲身抵达。旅行不只是眺望远方,更是感受脚下所处之地)”可知,旅行不仅是看得更远,也是感受你所站立的地方。选项F“Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground.(有些感悟唯有亲身踏足才能收获)”升华主题,强调“身临其境”的不可替代性。
Passage 3
Why Do People Use Cloud Storage?
You may know about the virtual storage space called cloud storage, where you can check, change and store your data. You may also be using a cloud storage service like many other people. 1
2 Users are not only able to upload their files easily, but they are also able to access the stored stuff quickly. Since all their data is stored in the cloud, it remains available for use at any moment, ensuring that their information is always at their fingertips.
Data security is another critical advantage. Cloud storage protects you from losing files because of hardware failure. Many times, people face the danger of losing their data stored on computers, laptops or a USB drive. 3 No data is ever erased or lost from this online storage system, unless you delete it.
In addition, cloud storage enables quick data sharing. 4 Cloud offers great convenience to users who may want to share their stored data with others in their work team. Besides, the cloud provides an opportunity to make specific data public. You can also choose exactly who to share your files with, and decide what they can do with them, like viewing or making changes.
Cloud storage is not only a safe and organized way to back up your data, but it also doesn’t cost much. On most cloud services, you can get some storage space for free. If you need more space than the free amount, you can pay a little money to get it. 5
A.Cloud storage is highly accessible.
B.Here are some advantages of cloud storage.
C.This price makes it affordable for most users.
D.This is very important for effective teamwork.

Passage 4
Mastering Your Day with Habit Stacking (叠加)
Building good habits is often harder than breaking bad ones. Many people fail because they rely on motivation (动力), which is running fast. 1 It is a powerful technique described by James Clear, which involves linking a new habit you want to form with an existing habit you already do.
The pattern is simple: “After I [current habit], I will [new habit].” For example, if you want to start reading newspaper but struggle to find time, you can stack it onto your morning coffee routine. 2 Because drinking coffee is already set in your daily life, it serves as a helpful reminder for the new behavior.
Why does this work? Our brains love patterns. When you attach a new action to your brain, you reduce the pains of starting. You don’t have to rely on willpower anymore. You don’t need to remember to do it; the previous action reminds you. 3
To carry this out effectively, start small. Don’t aim for massive changes right from the start. If you try to stack a 30-minute workout after brushing your teeth, you might not feel like it. 4 Once the habit is established, you can gradually increase the intensity (强度). Keeping going matters more in the beginning.
5 Building habits is a journey that includes unexpected difficulties. If you miss a day, simply get back on track the next day. The goal is not perfection, but progress. By stacking tiny changes, you can change your life one small step at a time.
A.Finally, be patient with yourself.
B.Instead, try doing just two push-ups.
C.You can read it while drinking your coffee.
D.Still, you’re having trouble changing your habits.
E.Finally, motivation is also important in forming habits.
F.But successful individuals use a strategy called “habit stacking”.
G.Over time, the two actions are joined into a single routine.
【答案】1.F 2.C 3.G 4.B 5.A
【导语】文章主要讲述了通过“习惯叠加”策略逐步养成好习惯的方法及注意事项。
1.由上文“Building good habits is often harder than breaking bad ones. Many people fail because they rely on motivation (动力), which is running fast.(养成好习惯往往比改掉坏习惯更难。许多人失败是因为他们依赖动力,而动力很快就会消失。)”及下文“It is a powerful technique described by James Clear, which involves linking a new habit you want to form with an existing habit you already do.(这是James Clear描述的一种强大技巧,它涉及将你想要养成的新习惯与你已经养成的现有习惯联系起来。)”可知,上文提到依赖动力难以养成好习惯,下文引出一种养成好习惯的技巧,本空应说明成功的人会使用一种策略,F选项“但成功的人会使用一种叫做‘习惯叠加’的策略。”能承上启下,符合语境。
2.由上文“For example, if you want to start reading newspaper but struggle to find time, you can stack it onto your morning coffee routine.(例如,如果你想开始读报纸但又找不到时间,你可以把它叠加到你的早晨喝咖啡的常规中。)”及下文“Because drinking coffee is already set in your daily life, it serves as a helpful reminder for the new behavior.(因为喝咖啡已经融入你的日常生活,它能有效地提醒你新的行为。)”可知,上文举例说明将读报纸的习惯叠加到早晨喝咖啡的常规中,下文解释这样做的原因,本空应说明具体如何叠加,C选项“你可以在喝咖啡的时候读报纸。”能承上启下,符合语境。
3.由上文“You don’t have to rely on willpower anymore. You don’t need to remember to do it; the previous action reminds you.(你不再需要依靠意志力了。你不需要记得去做;之前的动作会提醒你。)”可知,上文说明习惯叠加的好处,本空应说明习惯叠加的结果,G选项“随着时间的推移,这两个动作会合并成一个单一的常规。”能承接上文,符合语境。
4.由上文“If you try to stack a 30-minute workout after brushing your teeth, you might not feel like it.(如果你试图在刷牙后叠加30分钟的锻炼,你可能不会想这么做。)”及下文“Once the habit is established, you can gradually increase the intensity (强度).(一旦习惯养成,你可以逐渐增加强度。)”可知,上文说明如果一开始就尝试难度较大的习惯叠加可能会失败,下文说明习惯养成后可以逐渐增加强度,本空应提出一个更简单的习惯叠加建议,B选项“相反,试着做两个俯卧撑。”能承上启下,符合语境。
5.由下文“Building habits is a journey that includes unexpected difficulties. If you miss a day, simply get back on track the next day. The goal is not perfection, but progress.(养成习惯是一个包含意外困难的旅程。如果你错过了一天,第二天就回到正轨。目标不是完美,而是进步。)”可知,本段说明养成习惯需要耐心,不要因为错过一天就放弃,A选项“最后,对自己要有耐心。”能引出下文,符合语境。
Passage 5
Living Virtuously in the Era of Technology
Whether we are communicating with peers, completing academic tasks, or making purchases on digital platforms, moral dilemmas are unavoidable. For young people, particularly teenagers, it is crucial to cultivate and demonstrate positive qualities such as integrity, compassion, and responsibility within the virtual space. 1
2 It is the fundamental virtue for everyone. When we finish online assignments or take online tests, we should never copy others’ answers or use search engines to cheat. When we communicate with others online, we should tell the truth and never spread rumors or fake news. Even when no one is watching us online, we must stick to the bottom line of honesty.
Kindness is another essential virtue we need to practice. 3 When we see others being cyberbullied online, we should not stand by and watch, but try to help them in a proper way. When our friends are in trouble and ask for help online, we should give them sincere advice instead of making fun of them. Small acts of kindness online can warm people’s hearts just like those in real life.
We also need to keep a strong sense of responsibility in the digital world. 4 We should be responsible for our own words and actions — don’t post harmful or inappropriate content online, and don’t comment on others randomly. We should also take responsibility for the network environment — if we see fake news or harmful information, we can report it to the relevant platform in time.
Virtue is not a word that is far away from us, but it is reflected in every small choice we make.
5 As long as we keep honesty, kindness and responsibility in our hearts, we can practice virtues anytime and anywhere, whether in real life or in the digital world, and become a virtuous person.
A.Honesty is the first step to practicing virtues online.
B.Here are some practical suggestions for us to follow.
C.We should use the internet to help others instead of hurting them.
D.A virtuous person is loved and respected by everyone around him.
E.We can make more friends online by chatting with them every day.

Passage 1
As deadly wildfires continue to spread through California, it now seems important to understand how wildfires work. 1
Though the exact source of wildfires is unclear, authorities have stated that 95% of fires in California are started by people. Experts aren’t yet able to predict wildfire outbreaks. 2 Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle (火灾三要素): fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Four fifths of wildfires are started by people, but drought and strong winds can create the perfect conditions for a disaster.
Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year. 3 Particles (微粒) in the air that may be deadly and extremely small can thicken the blood. Smoke also contains carbon monoxide, causing long-lasting damage to the heart.
4 In northern forests which store more carbon than any other land ecosystem, climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently, further speeding up the release of carbon and worsening global warming.
However, wildlife tends to have a very different relationship with fire. 5 For example, some birds will fly in to feed on insects in dead trees. That’s not to say, all wild animals call fire a friend — there are some who can’t escape the quickly spreading flames. Slow-moving animals such as koalas, whose nature is to hide into a tree, may end up caught. In this case, wildlife falls victim to climate change tragically.
A.And it is more important to know how to prevent wildfires.
B.Besides health problems, forest fires actually have the ability to heat up the entire planet.
C.Some have adapted to live with it, and some even grow better after fires.
D.Wildfires have damaging effects on the habitats of wildlife.
E.However, there are three conditions that must be present in order for a wildfire to burn.
F.Sharp increases in asthma (哮喘) attacks have been reported when smoke covers the places where people live.
G.Of equal importance is to realize the long-term effects of wildfires on our health and the environment.
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.F 4.B 5.C
【导语】文章主要介绍加州野火成因、危害以及野火对不同野生动物带来的不同影响。
1.由上文“As deadly wildfires continue to spread through California, it now seems important to understand how wildfires work.(致命野火持续在加州蔓延,了解野火如何形成十分重要。)”和下文“Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source.(消防员将其称作火灾三要素:可燃物、氧气、热源)”、“Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year.(全球每年有33.9万人因野火烟尘丧生)”可知,上文提出要了解野火原理,下文介绍了野火的引发原因、影响。本空应强调认识野火长期影响的重要性。G项“同等重要的是认识野火对健康与环境的长期影响”承接上文,自然开启下文多方面介绍危害的内容。
2.由下文“Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source.(消防员将其称作火灾三要素:可燃物、氧气、热源)”可知,本空应引出下文关于野火燃烧条件的解释。E选项“但野火燃烧必须同时具备三个条件”能引出下文,符合语境。
3.由上文“Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year.(全球每年有33.9万人因野火烟尘丧生)”可知,本段围绕烟尘危害人体健康展开,F选项“烟尘笼罩居住区时,哮喘病发作病例急剧增多”承接烟尘危害的话题,符合语境。
4.由下文“In northern forests which store more carbon than any other land ecosystem, climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently, further speeding up the release of carbon and worsening global warming.(北部森林的碳储量高于其他任何陆地生态系统,受气候变化影响,野火愈发频发,这会进一步加速碳排放,加剧全球变暖。)”可知,下文讲述野火加剧全球变暖,本段讨论的是野火对地球气候的影响。B选项“除健康危害外,森林火灾还会使全球气温升高”承接上段烟尘危害人体健康,引出本段关于野火加剧全球变暖的阐述,符合语境。
5.由上文“However, wildlife tends to have a very different relationship with fire.(然而野生动物和火有着截然不同的关系)”及下文“For example, some birds will fly in to feed on insects in dead trees.(例如部分鸟类飞来取食枯树中的虫子)”可知,后文举例部分动物受益于火灾,本空应说明某些野生动物适应了火灾甚至从中受益。C 选项“一些动物适应伴火生存,部分灾后长势更好”引出举例内容,符合语境。

Passage 3
As we become increasingly aware of the impact our actions have on the environment, more and more of us are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Throughout a given trip, both big and small decisions you make can affect a lot the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) produced by your holiday. 1 ? Here are some tips on enjoying a “green” holiday.
·Keep it light on luggage (行李). Every single extra kilo you carry around drives up emissions. 2 Packing (收拾行李) with purpose can actively cut your carbon footprint. So you can travel with a more thoughtful, lighter bag. It’s a small change that can make a big difference.
·Explore with care. 3 . Instead of fighting traffic, you might find hidden treasures by chance, and you’re more likely to meet new people. This habit can connect you with the city you’re visiting and help you know the city better.
· 4 . Be a big believer in asking questions, especially when it comes to a hotel’s impact on people and the planet. Ask your hotel to share how it sources renewable energy, saves water, and manages waste. If the hotel can’t show proof of similar action, keep digging. The more we, as tourists, ask similar questions, the more the industry will move toward responsible practices.
·Do your part to protect the local community. Volunteer for a beach clean-up, join a reforestation project, or just pick up rubbish as you travel. Even such small efforts can help protect natural beauty for future generations. 5 .
A.Your actions make your trip meaningful long after you’ve gone home
B.Changing from taxis to bikes means you’re kind to the environment
C.What’s more, it slows you down when you explore a new city
D.So how can we make a difference when heading on holiday
E.Do something big to make others aware of the problem
F.What do you think of the benefits of them
G.Ask about your hotel’s carbon footprint

Passage 4
An earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.
If you’re inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. 1 Drop down onto the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If you’re in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
2 Don’t take shelter under trees, streetlights, telegraph poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse over you. 3
If you are trapped in the ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cellphone to call for help if possible. Don’t shout. 4 Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.
Be prepared for aftershocks. 5 However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.
A.Don’t move about or kick up dost.
B.If you’re outside, go to an open space.
C.Shouting can cause you to breathe in dust.
D.Don’t park your car under a tree or any tall object.
E.Aftershocks are generally weaker than the main quake.
F.They can happen in the first hours after the earthquake.
G.Most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to get out.
【答案】1.G 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了地震时保持安全的一些技巧。
1.根据上文“One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. (地震时最危险的事情之一就是试图离开建筑物。)”可知,空处应承接前文,讲述建筑物内的人试图离开建筑物时容易造成伤害。G项“大多数伤害发生在建筑物内的人试图出去的时候。”符合语境,选项中的“when people inside buildings try to get out”与上文中的“try to leave a building”对应。故选G。

Passage 5
Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year 1 But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.
2 Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead. 3 It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.
If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive(such as when protecting young bears)or predatory(捕食性的)(such as when hunting). 4 Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat.
Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects. 5 . You can also use pepper spray(喷雾)during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay.
A.It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears.
B.Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.
C.Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.
D.That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.
E.Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.
F.You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild.
G.There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.D 4.E 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在野外遇到熊时应该如何保护自己。文章通过讲述不同情况下熊的行为和应对措施,强调了了解熊的习性和采取正确行动的重要性。
1.根据空后内容“But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death.(但对于少数不幸的人来说,与熊的邂逅可能会导致严重的伤害或死亡。)”中的“but”可推测,空处内容和本句内容相反。选项C“Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.(大多数人带着激动人心的回忆和照片离开。)”指的是大多数遇到熊都很安全,和下文内容存在转折关系。故选C。
2.根据空后的内容“Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead(有些人会建议逃跑,但是熊比人类跑得快得多。还有人说人应该倒在地上装死。)”可知,下文建议了人们在遇到熊的时候应该如何做。选项G“There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.(关于一个人在面对熊时应该如何反应,有很多想法。)”引出下文具体内容。故选G。
3.根据空后内容“It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.(在你进入野外之前,最好尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。)”可知,上文的这些应对熊的方式还不够全面。选项D“That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.(这在某些情况下是一种提示,但在其他情况下不是。)”承上启下,承接上文说明上文提到的建议有时候是有用的,同时指出有时候这些建议是没有用的,从而引出下文内容,指出我们应该尽可能多地了解熊的不同行为。故选D。
4.根据空前内容“If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive(such as when protecting young bears)or predatory(捕食性的)(such as when hunting).(如果熊向你走来,你必须首先确定熊的攻击是防御性的(比如在保护幼熊的时候)还是掠夺性的(比如在狩猎的时候)。)”可知,熊的攻击方式是不同的,我们要确定熊的攻击方式。选项E“Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.(黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同。)”延续上文内容,指的是黑熊和灰熊攻击人的原因不同,同时引出下文“Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive.(大多数灰熊的攻击都是防御性的。)”。故选E。
5.根据空前内容“If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects.(如果熊仍然向你走来,尽可能大声喊叫和击打物体。)”可知,熊向你走来时,你可以尽可能大声喊叫或击打物体。选项B“Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.(你的可怕行为会让熊后退。)”延续上文内容,指的是你大声喊叫或击打物体这样的可怕行为可能会让熊后退。故选B。

Passage 1
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed a financial exam, her heart sank. 1
“Envy was eating me up,” recalls Eugenie. She was clearly filled with jealousy at that moment. 2 “And I told her I failed and admitted I was green-eyed,” she says. Eugenie knew that being frank would ease her envy and, but she was surprised that when she shifted her attitude, she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn.
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, the great joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it doesn’t directly involve us. 3 “Freudenfreude is like a kind of social glue,” says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College. “It makes relationships closer and more enjoyable.” This feeling is similar to positive empathy—the ability to share someone else’s joy. A study in 2021 examined freudenfreude’s role in daily life and found that it could encourage kind actions, like helping people. It could also improve life satisfaction, and even help people cooperate during conflicts.
4 However, we seldom pay enough attention to their happy moments. In fact, how we react to our friends’ joy is even more important than how we respond to their suffering. Too often, we think of joy passively. We see it as something that comes to us, instead of something we can produce. While it can be difficult in practice, freudenfreude can lift us up and brighten our day. 5
A.But anyway she congratulated her friend.
B.She had failed the same test weeks earlier.
C.So celebrating our friends’ success is a win-win to us all.
D.Sharing our failures with friends often brings us closer together.
E.This positive emotion plays a key role in human communication.
F.Envy is a common emotion, but it can be transformed into admiration.
G.Too often, we think our friends need us most during their hard times: a job loss, getting divorced.
Passage 2
You may always enjoy reordering your drawer, making study and travel plans, and organizing your closet. 1 As a professional organizer, you can make a living from your love! Read on to know top tips for becoming a professional organizer.
2 Maybe you’re that friend who always checks if everyone has packed the right things for vacation. With wise ideas for organizing spaces, you probably have a super-organized bedroom and home. For organizing schedules, you need to be always on time and manage a busy schedule perfectly.
Understanding is key to being a professional organizer. Because most professional organizers work as freelance consultants (自由职业顾问), the trick is finding and keeping clients (客户). Tons of people who reach out to organizers feel a little guilty or ashamed because they need help with creating order in their life. 3 An excellent organizer will know how to accept their clients and show understanding to them.
Creativity is another much-needed skill. Professional organization isn’t always as easy as it seems. You may have a number of unexpected challenges thrown your way. To deal with them, you may need to be quick on your feet and think outside the box. Say your client realizes they have way more stuff than they thought they did. 4
The ability to communicate well is huge for a professional organizer, whether it’s selling your ideas, managing difficult clients, or offering other services. 5 Not only will this win you admiration, but it can also make your role much easier to manage.
A.You need to be responsible for their schedule.
B.Work on the skill to get your point across clearly.
C.Make sure you have a real talent for creating order.
D.That’s when fresh ideas become your powerful tool.
E.Is this where you must come up with a workable plan fast?
F.Have you considered turning your interest into a profession?
G.A friendly, open-minded attitude can make all the difference.
Passage 3
How to Build Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is often misunderstood as something you either have or you don’t. In reality, it is a skill that can be developed through practice. 1 The key lies not in avoiding challenges but in approaching them with the right mindset.
One of the most effective ways to build confidence is to take action despite fear. Many people wait until they feel ready before trying something new. 2 Confidence comes from doing, not from waiting. Don’t hesitate to step out of your comfort zone.
3 The way you speak to yourself shapes your beliefs about your abilities. Negative self-talk creates mental barriers that are hard to break. When you find yourself engaging in such thoughts, pause and question their truth. Replace them with more balanced statements, such as “This is challenging, but I can improve with practice.”
Another important factor is how you respond to failure. Those who lack confidence often view mistakes as proof of their limitations. 4 So instead of seeing failure as your worth, treat it as learning. Ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” This shift turns setbacks into stepping stones.
The people around you shape your self-perception greatly. Surrounding yourself with those who believe in you and offer support makes tough situations easier to handle. Conversely, constant criticism from others can wear down your self-belief, no matter how capable you are. 5
Building confidence is not a destination but an ongoing process. Progress may feel slow, but each step strengthens your ability to face new challenges.
A.Pay attention to your inner voice.
B.Surround yourself with people who make you happy.
C.The good news is that you can actively strengthen it.
D.Pay little attention to what you are saying to yourself.
E.Those who succeed, however, see failure differently.
F.However, waiting for readiness often means waiting forever.
G.The people you spend time with matter more than you might think.
Passage 4
The blank page can be one of the most awful parts of writing. Whether you’re a full-time author, or a student with an essay assignment, looking at that empty document when you don’t know where to start can be disheartening. 1 There is: Prewriting, the first step of the writing process. Let’s explore some types of prewriting strategies.
Brainstorming is helpful for quick idea generation. To brainstorm during prewriting, students can write down all their ideas on a topic as they come up with them. 2 If they come to mind, you can add them to your page or document.
Like brainstorming, freewriting allows students to put all their ideas on a topic on paper. The difference is that freewriting is structured compared to a brainstorming session. Typically, the first step of freewriting is setting a timer for a period, like five minutes. 3
Journaling is the ongoing process of writing down thoughts, questions, and ideas when you have them so you can refer back to them later. Journaling can be a less intense version (版本) of freewriting. 4 Carry a journal with you and write when inspiration strikes.
5 Knowing what prewriting methods exist and being able to test them out on a variety of projects can help students figure out what works best for them.
A.No ideas are bad.
B.You can use the 5Ws and 1H questions.
C.How to jump over the blank page to next step?
D.It happens over time rather than in short, timed blocks.
E.During that time, you write about your topic without stopping.
F.No single strategy is most effective for every writer or project.
G.What if there were a magic solution to take away the blank page?
Passage 5
The Library’s Quiet Keeper
When we talk about heroes, we often think of people with big titles or famous achievements. But some of the most inspiring people work quietly behind the scenes, making life better for everyone around them. 1
Ms. Chen, the librarian at our school, has worked in the school library for over 15 years. Every school day, she arrives at the library before sunrise, even before the first students step into the building. 2 She knows every corner of the library, from the highest shelf to the quietest study nook, and remembers exactly where every favorite book is kept.
What makes Ms. Chen so special is how she goes far beyond her basic duties. When students are stressed before exams, she leaves small encouraging notes on their favorite books. 3 She even stays late after school to help students who struggle with finding research materials, never rushing them or showing impatience.
For new students who feel lost or lonely at the start of the year, Ms. Chen is always there to welcome them. She remembers their names, asks about their favorite books, and often recommends new stories based on their interests. 4
Many students say the library feels like a second home because of Ms. Chen. “She doesn’t just run a library — she makes it a place where we feel seen and cared for,” one student said. 5 For her, being someone students can count on is the greatest reward of all.
A.To students at our school, that quiet hero is Ms. Chen.
B.She also keeps a box of extra stationery for students who forget theirs.
C.These small, warm gestures make even the shyest students feel welcome.
D.She carefully checks every returned book and arranges them neatly on the shelves.
E.Even on weekends, she sometimes comes in to organize new books or tidy the reading area.
F.She has no plans to leave her job anytime soon, because she loves being part of the students’ lives.
G.Students often leave her handwritten thank-you notes, but she keeps them all private and never brags about them.

Passage 1
How to Truly Understand “Knowing Me, Knowing You” in Daily Communication
The unit theme “Knowing Me, Knowing You” is not just a simple sentence, but a practical principle for daily communication. To put it into practice, we need to master some simple but useful skills, which can help us know ourselves better and understand others more deeply.
1 . Before talking with others, take a moment to think about your own feelings and thoughts: what do you want to express? What are your bottom lines? Only when you are clear about your own heart can you express your true self to others.
It’s important to show your true self, and it’s more important to listen to others sincerely. 2 . When others are talking, put down your phone, look at them and don’t interrupt. Try to catch not only their words but also their hidden feelings, which is the first step to understand others.
3 , try to put yourself in their shoes. For example, if your classmate is late for the group meeting, don’t judge them as lazy at once — maybe they have an emergency. Thinking from others’ perspective can help you avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and truly understand their choices.
Respecting others’ differences is also a key part of “Knowing Me, Knowing You”. 4 . Everyone has their own personalities and hobbies, and there is no absolute right or wrong. Accepting these differences can make your communication more harmonious and make you know more different people.
5 . “Knowing Me, Knowing You” is a lifelong lesson, not just a unit theme. It needs us to practice with sincerity in every daily communication, to reflect on our own behavior, and to learn from every interaction. Only in this way can we truly master the meaning of it and build genuine interpersonal relationships.
A.Learn to reflect on your communication and keep practicing
B.First of all, be clear about your own feelings and thoughts
C.If you don’t understand others’ behavior or choices at first
D.True listening is not just hearing words but understanding the feelings behind them
E.We should force others to change their hobbies to fit in with us
F.Everyone is unique, and we should accept others’ different personalities and hobbies
G.We should always talk about our own ideas and ignore others’ opinions
Passage 2
I put on a headset, and within seconds I am somewhere else. Polar bears are wandering across the Arctic ice fields. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, standing close to a painting I have never seen in real life. 1 This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. 2 There is no need to consider weather conditions, health issues or economic pressure. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For old people, those who have trouble moving, or people without much money, it opens a door to the world that real trips can hardly give.
3 Travelers wander through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and interact face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such interactions wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed sensations, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unexpected. 4 In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to grow, enriching how we preview journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. 5
A.Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
B.I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
C.My feet were killing me after a long journey.
D.It is convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E.Quite often, we find ourselves tired out during real travel.
F.Some knowledge only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
G.It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.
Passage 3
Why Do People Use Cloud Storage?
You may know about the virtual storage space called cloud storage, where you can check, change and store your data. You may also be using a cloud storage service like many other people. 1
2 Users are not only able to upload their files easily, but they are also able to access the stored stuff quickly. Since all their data is stored in the cloud, it remains available for use at any moment, ensuring that their information is always at their fingertips.
Data security is another critical advantage. Cloud storage protects you from losing files because of hardware failure. Many times, people face the danger of losing their data stored on computers, laptops or a USB drive. 3 No data is ever erased or lost from this online storage system, unless you delete it.
In addition, cloud storage enables quick data sharing. 4 Cloud offers great convenience to users who may want to share their stored data with others in their work team. Besides, the cloud provides an opportunity to make specific data public. You can also choose exactly who to share your files with, and decide what they can do with them, like viewing or making changes.
Cloud storage is not only a safe and organized way to back up your data, but it also doesn’t cost much. On most cloud services, you can get some storage space for free. If you need more space than the free amount, you can pay a little money to get it. 5
A.Cloud storage is highly accessible.
B.Here are some advantages of cloud storage.
C.This price makes it affordable for most users.
D.This is very important for effective teamwork.
E.However, this is not enough to stop people loving it.
F.However, storing it in the cloud can avoid any such trouble.
G.It also requires a stable internet connection to function well.
Passage 4
Mastering Your Day with Habit Stacking (叠加)
Building good habits is often harder than breaking bad ones. Many people fail because they rely on motivation (动力), which is running fast. 1 It is a powerful technique described by James Clear, which involves linking a new habit you want to form with an existing habit you already do.
The pattern is simple: “After I [current habit], I will [new habit].” For example, if you want to start reading newspaper but struggle to find time, you can stack it onto your morning coffee routine. 2 Because drinking coffee is already set in your daily life, it serves as a helpful reminder for the new behavior.
Why does this work? Our brains love patterns. When you attach a new action to your brain, you reduce the pains of starting. You don’t have to rely on willpower anymore. You don’t need to remember to do it; the previous action reminds you. 3
To carry this out effectively, start small. Don’t aim for massive changes right from the start. If you try to stack a 30-minute workout after brushing your teeth, you might not feel like it. 4 Once the habit is established, you can gradually increase the intensity (强度). Keeping going matters more in the beginning.
5 Building habits is a journey that includes unexpected difficulties. If you miss a day, simply get back on track the next day. The goal is not perfection, but progress. By stacking tiny changes, you can change your life one small step at a time.
A.Finally, be patient with yourself.
B.Instead, try doing just two push-ups.
C.You can read it while drinking your coffee.
D.Still, you’re having trouble changing your habits.
E.Finally, motivation is also important in forming habits.
F.But successful individuals use a strategy called “habit stacking”.
G.Over time, the two actions are joined into a single routine.
Passage 5
Living Virtuously in the Era of Technology
Whether we are communicating with peers, completing academic tasks, or making purchases on digital platforms, moral dilemmas are unavoidable. For young people, particularly teenagers, it is crucial to cultivate and demonstrate positive qualities such as integrity, compassion, and responsibility within the virtual space. 1
2 It is the fundamental virtue for everyone. When we finish online assignments or take online tests, we should never copy others’ answers or use search engines to cheat. When we communicate with others online, we should tell the truth and never spread rumors or fake news. Even when no one is watching us online, we must stick to the bottom line of honesty.
Kindness is another essential virtue we need to practice. 3 When we see others being cyberbullied online, we should not stand by and watch, but try to help them in a proper way. When our friends are in trouble and ask for help online, we should give them sincere advice instead of making fun of them. Small acts of kindness online can warm people’s hearts just like those in real life.
We also need to keep a strong sense of responsibility in the digital world. 4 We should be responsible for our own words and actions — don’t post harmful or inappropriate content online, and don’t comment on others randomly. We should also take responsibility for the network environment — if we see fake news or harmful information, we can report it to the relevant platform in time.
Virtue is not a word that is far away from us, but it is reflected in every small choice we make.
5 As long as we keep honesty, kindness and responsibility in our hearts, we can practice virtues anytime and anywhere, whether in real life or in the digital world, and become a virtuous person.
A.Honesty is the first step to practicing virtues online.
B.Here are some practical suggestions for us to follow.
C.We should use the internet to help others instead of hurting them.
D.A virtuous person is loved and respected by everyone around him.
E.We can make more friends online by chatting with them every day.
F.It doesn’t matter whether we practice virtues in real life or online.
G.Every click and comment contributes to the health of the online space we share.

Passage 1
As deadly wildfires continue to spread through California, it now seems important to understand how wildfires work. 1
Though the exact source of wildfires is unclear, authorities have stated that 95% of fires in California are started by people. Experts aren’t yet able to predict wildfire outbreaks. 2 Firefighters refer to it as the fire triangle (火灾三要素): fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Four fifths of wildfires are started by people, but drought and strong winds can create the perfect conditions for a disaster.
Worldwide, wildfire smoke causes 339,000 deaths per year. 3 Particles (微粒) in the air that may be deadly and extremely small can thicken the blood. Smoke also contains carbon monoxide, causing long-lasting damage to the heart.
4 In northern forests which store more carbon than any other land ecosystem, climate change is causing wildfires to occur more frequently, further speeding up the release of carbon and worsening global warming.
However, wildlife tends to have a very different relationship with fire. 5 For example, some birds will fly in to feed on insects in dead trees. That’s not to say, all wild animals call fire a friend — there are some who can’t escape the quickly spreading flames. Slow-moving animals such as koalas, whose nature is to hide into a tree, may end up caught. In this case, wildlife falls victim to climate change tragically.
A.And it is more important to know how to prevent wildfires.
B.Besides health problems, forest fires actually have the ability to heat up the entire planet.
C.Some have adapted to live with it, and some even grow better after fires.
D.Wildfires have damaging effects on the habitats of wildlife.
E.However, there are three conditions that must be present in order for a wildfire to burn.
F.Sharp increases in asthma (哮喘) attacks have been reported when smoke covers the places where people live.
G.Of equal importance is to realize the long-term effects of wildfires on our health and the environment.
Passage 2
Last weekend, my friends and I participated in a local clean-up event organized by a group of volunteers who were passionate about protecting the environment. 1 .
The event started early in the morning, and we were each provided with gloves and rubbish bags. The park looked beautiful, with green grass and tall trees. However, as I moved on, I was shocked by how much waste had been left behind. 2 . It was clear that the park, though lovely, had become a dumping (倾倒) ground for waste.
We were divided into groups, each assigned (分配) to a specific area of the park. 3 . I learned how important recycling is in reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Although it was hard work, it felt rewarding to see the park slowly become cleaner and safer for everyone who visited.
During a short break, one of the volunteers gave a talk about the importance of reducing waste. 4 . He also encouraged us to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as using reusable bottles, bags, and containers, to reduce our environmental impact.
By the end of the day, we had collected several large bags of rubbish. 5 . The experience made me realize that protecting the environment doesn’t always require big actions. Simple steps, like cleaning up parks and recycling, can have a significant impact. I felt proud to be part of something that helps our planet.
A.Local communities are coming up with solutions
B.Waste management has become a major global issue
C.There were plastic bottles, beer cans, and even broken toys
D.He explained how plastic waste is harmful to the environment
E.The collected rubbish was grouped into plastic, paper, and metal
F.It was amazing to see the difference we had made in just a few hours
G.The event aimed to clean up a popular park and raise awareness about pollution
Passage 3
As we become increasingly aware of the impact our actions have on the environment, more and more of us are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Throughout a given trip, both big and small decisions you make can affect a lot the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (排放) produced by your holiday. 1 ? Here are some tips on enjoying a “green” holiday.
·Keep it light on luggage (行李). Every single extra kilo you carry around drives up emissions. 2 Packing (收拾行李) with purpose can actively cut your carbon footprint. So you can travel with a more thoughtful, lighter bag. It’s a small change that can make a big difference.
·Explore with care. 3 . Instead of fighting traffic, you might find hidden treasures by chance, and you’re more likely to meet new people. This habit can connect you with the city you’re visiting and help you know the city better.
· 4 . Be a big believer in asking questions, especially when it comes to a hotel’s impact on people and the planet. Ask your hotel to share how it sources renewable energy, saves water, and manages waste. If the hotel can’t show proof of similar action, keep digging. The more we, as tourists, ask similar questions, the more the industry will move toward responsible practices.

Passage 4
An earthquake can strike without warning. But many injuries and deaths from this kind of natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips.
If you’re inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. 1 Drop down onto the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking stops. You can also get to a corner formed by two walls with your arms over your head. If you’re in bed when the quake hits, stay there and protect your head with a pillow.
2 Don’t take shelter under trees, streetlights, telegraph poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse over you. 3
If you are trapped in the ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or a piece of clothing. Use your cellphone to call for help if possible. Don’t shout. 4 Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you.
Be prepared for aftershocks. 5 However, sometimes they even happen months later. Therefore, if you are not in a safe position after the first shock, you should move quickly but carefully to a safer place.
A.Don’t move about or kick up dost.
B.If you’re outside, go to an open space.

Passage 5
Tens of thousands of nature lovers see black bears and grizzly bears each year 1 But for the unfortunate few, bear encounters can lead to serious injury or death. If you come upon a bear in its natural setting, your first reaction may be to feel frightened. But staying safe depends on acting carefully and calmly.
2 Some people would suggest running away, but bears can run much faster than humans can. Others say a person should drop to the ground and play dead. 3 It is best to be as educated as possible about different bear behaviors before you head into the wild.
If a bear is coming towards you, you must first determine if the bear attack is defensive(such as when protecting young bears)or predatory(捕食性的)(such as when hunting). 4 Most grizzly bear attacks are defensive. When a bear is defensive, it is feeling threatened. Dropping to the ground is an effective way to show the bear that you are not a threat.
Black bears do not often challenge humans, but when they do, their attacks are usually predatory. Bears do not feel threatened when they are hunting, so playing dead will not help you stay safe. During a predatory bear attack, the first thing you should do is drop any food you have and back away. If the bear still comes towards you, make as much noise as possible by shouting and hitting objects. 5 . You can also use pepper spray(喷雾)during a bear attack. Always bring it with you in the wild, and have it ready to use without delay.
A.It is a good idea to collect some facts about bears.
B.Your frightening behaviour can make the bear back down.
C.Most walk away with exciting memories and photographs.
D.That turns out to be a hint in some situations but not in others.
E.Black bears and grizzly bears are likely to attack for different reasons.
F.You should learn some life-saving skills before going on a hike in the wild.
G.There are many ideas about how a person should react when faced with bears.
