I am not talking about your formal presentations; I am talking about your casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself. 1 You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 2 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), and it does not know when you are just joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word that comes out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You keep complaining “I am completely stuck.” 3 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 4 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They never ask, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle linguistic anchor is not just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset. It shifts your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to be serious about what you say. 5 Stop using your own mouth to curse (诅咒) the beautiful life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree A．You have already put huge pressure on your friends B．Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality. C．In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. D．But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less. E．When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. F．Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. G．I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．F 4．G 5．B 【导语】文章主要介绍日常消极抱怨的语言会潜移默化影响自身心态与现实，倡导人们改用积极语言、重塑心态、正向自我暗示。 1．上文“You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself.(你以为你只是在向朋友或自己抱怨)”说明人们误以为随口抱怨无伤大雅，C选项“In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.(事实上，你正在给自己的人生道路施加黑暗的魔咒)”承接上文，转折指出消极抱怨的真实危害，颠覆人们的错误认知，上下文语义衔接自然。 2．上文“You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment.(你以为表现得像悲观的失败者能让自己免受失望的打击)”介绍人们的错误想法，D选项“But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less.(但消极的语言模式并不会减轻痛苦)”与上文构成转折关系，指出消极自我暗示并无益处。 3．上文“You keep complaining ‘I am completely stuck.’(你一直抱怨‘我彻底陷入困境了’)”说明持续的消极语言暗示，F选项“Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.(你的大脑会随之关闭创造性的问题解决中枢)”承接上文，介绍消极抱怨带来的大脑反应；下文“It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.(它会停止寻找出路，因为你已经宣称没有出路了)”进一步承接F选项，说明大脑停止解决问题的具体表现。 4．下文“Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.”(他们不会说“我压力大到要死了”，而是说“我正在满负荷运转”)”介绍了一类人的积极语言表达方式，G选项“I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement.(我见过许多优秀的人，秉持自我鼓励的价值体系生活)”总领本段，引出下文优秀人群的正向语言与心态做法，契合段落主旨。 5．上文“It is time to be serious about what you say.(是时候认真对待自己的言语了)”强调言语的重要性，B选项“Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality.(你的言语是构建自身现实的无形框架)”承接上文，进一步阐释言语的巨大影响力；下文“Stop using your own mouth to curse the beautiful life you are trying to build.(不要再用自己的言语诅咒你努力经营的美好生活)”基于该观点提出具体行动建议，上下文衔接流畅。 Passage 2 It is natural to compare ourselves with others and to get caught in a mental comparison cycle, yet this is seldom beneficial. You may have heard the expression, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” 1 Comparison not only robs us of joy, but it can also fuel self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance. 2 “I am not as successful and competent as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have?” We use comparison as a way of self-criticism, which prevents self-acceptance. Another issue with comparison is that it causes unrealistic expectations. When we compare ourselves to others, we often overlook the context of their journey. We see the success, but not the failures, sacrifices or struggles. 3 But in reality, no one’s life is without difficulties, and by focusing on someone else’s highlights, we’re ignoring the complexity of our own story. Comparison may secretly play tricks on us. If we meet expectations, lose weight, or get a promotion, we will feel better, calmer, and stop comparing ourselves. This may be temporarily true. 4 We can always find something else to compare, another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again. Let go of the idea that you need to compete with others. Life is not a race, and there is no finish line you must cross to prove your worth. Instead of comparing, try to celebrate others’ successes and use them as inspiration for your own journey. 5 Not just for yourself, but for those around you. A．Yet comparison is an endless process. B．Comparison lowers your sense of security. C．So what can we do to break free from comparison? D．Typically, it leads to perceiving others as superior to us. E．By doing so, you create an environment of positivity and growth. F．This makes it easy to assume that everyone else is living a perfect life. G．This rings true as comparing ourselves with others makes happiness hard to feel. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．F 4．A 5．E 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了与人攀比弊大于利，它会夺走快乐、引发自我否定与不切实际的期待，且永无止境。我们应放下攀比，欣赏他人的成功，以此激励自己，营造积极的生活氛围。 1．前文“You may have heard the expression, “Comparison is the thief of joy.”(您或许听过这样一句话：“比较是快乐的小偷。”)”引用了经典谚语，空格需要对这句谚语进行解释和印证。G选项“This rings true as comparing ourselves with others makes happiness hard to feel.(这句话千真万确，因为与他人比较会让我们难以感受到幸福。)”中，This rings true 直接呼应前文的谚语，makes happiness hard to feel完美解释了“偷走快乐”的含义，逻辑严丝合缝。 2．前文“Comparison not only robs us of joy, but it can also fuel self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance.(比较不仅会剥夺我们的快乐，还会助长自我批评和缺乏自我接纳的心态。)”指出比较会“助长自我批评和自我接纳的缺失”，后文““I am not as successful and competent as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have?”(“我不像他们那样成功和有能力。”“为什么我没有他们拥有的那些？”)”紧接着列举了两句典型的自我否定内心独白。空格需要一个过渡句，说明比较如何导致自我批评。D选项“Typically, it leads to perceiving others as superior to us.(通常情况下，它会让我们觉得别人比自己更优秀。)”精准点明了比较的核心心理后果，正是因为觉得别人更优越，才会产生后文“我不如他们”的自我批判，形成完整的逻辑链条。 3．前文“We see the success, but not the failures, sacrifices or struggles.(我们看到了他们的成功，却看不到他们的失败、牺牲或挣扎。)”说明我们在比较时“只看到别人的成功，看不到他们的失败、牺牲和挣扎”，后文“But in reality, no one’s life is without difficulties, and by focusing on someone else’s highlights, we’re ignoring the complexity of our own story.(但实际上，没有人的人生是毫无困难的，而通过关注别人的成功亮点，我们却忽略了自己故事的复杂性。)”转折指出“没有人的生活是没有困难的”。空格需要说明这种片面认知带来的错误结论。F选项“This makes it easy to assume that everyone else is living a perfect life.(这让我们很容易认为其他人都过着完美的生活。)”中，This指代前文“只看别人高光时刻” 的行为，正好引出后文对“完美生活”假象的反驳，逻辑连贯。 4．前文“If we meet expectations, lose weight, or get a promotion, we will feel better, calmer, and stop comparing ourselves. This may be temporarily true.(如果我们达到了预期目标、成功减重或者获得了晋升，我们会感觉更好、更平静，并且不再与他人进行比较。这在短期内可能是真的。)”提到“达到目标后停止比较”只是暂时的，后文“We can always find something else to compare, another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again.(我们总能找到其他的东西来比较，我们告诉自己我们没有达到的另一个期望，让我们再次感觉更糟。)”进一步说明 “我们总能找到新的比较对象和未达成的期望”。空格需要点明比较的本质特征。A选项“Yet comparison is an endless process.(然而比较是一个永无止境的过程。)”中，Yet 转折前文的“temporarily true(暂时正确)”，endless process 完美概括了后文“总能找到新的比较点”的内容，是本段的核心观点。 5．前文“Instead of comparing, try to celebrate others’ successes and use them as inspiration for your own journey.(与其比较，不如试着为他人的成功而庆祝，并将这些作为自己前行的激励。)”给出了解决方案 ——“不要比较，而是庆祝他人的成功并将其作为自己的灵感”，后文“Not just for yourself, but for those around you.(不仅是为了自己，也是为了身边的人。)”补充说明这种做法的受益者包括自己和身边的人。空格需要说明这种正确做法带来的积极影响。E选项“By doing so, you create an environment of positivity and growth.(通过这样做，你会创造一个积极向上、共同成长的环境。)”中，By doing so指代前文的正确做法，positivity and growth 与后文的“为了自己和身边的人”形成呼应，完美收束全文。 Passage 3 Hotels do not price rooms in the same way a shop prices a lamp or a suitcase. 1 The same room in the same building can be worth very different amounts depending on the day, season, and local demand. A beachfront hotel in summer is operating differently from the same room during a quieter month. Even weekends and weekdays can produce different patterns, depending on the type of traveller the hotel attracts. Then what actually causes prices to move? Several factors shape hotel room rates, sometimes all at once. Demand is the obvious one. Booking window also matters. Some travelers book months in advance, while others leave it until the last minute. 2 If rooms are selling earlier than usual, rates may increase sooner. If there is unexpected availability closer to arrival, prices may be adjusted again. Competition plays a role too. 3 If similar nearby properties are filling up, or charging more, that affects how a hotel positions its own rates. Nowadays, many properties rely on hotel management software to make pricing more responsive. Rather than guessing or checking rates occasionally, these tools help hotels analyse booking trends, monitor market signals, and update pricing in line with real demand. 4 It means hotels are using better information to make better decisions. Instead of relying on instinct alone, they can react to changes in occupancy, pace, and market conditions more confidently. Understanding how hotel pricing works can make booking decisions feel less frustrating. Travelling outside peak periods, avoiding major local event dates, or booking earlier can all help. It also helps to compare dates rather than looking at one night in isolation (孤立状态). 5 A．Hotels do not operate in isolation. B．Hotels track these patterns closely. C．A room’s value depends heavily on timing. D．If a room goes unsold tonight, that money is gone for good. E．Hotels are under pressure to respond faster and more accurately. F．This does not mean prices are invented at random by a machine. G．A small shift in travel plans can sometimes lead to a much better rate. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．F 5．G 【导语】文章介绍酒店客房定价和普通商品定价方式不同，分析了影响房价波动的各类因素，还提及酒店借助软件调整定价，并给出了旅客订房的实用建议。 1．根据前文“Hotels do not price rooms in the same way a shop prices a lamp or a suitcase.(酒店客房的定价方式和商店售卖灯具、行李箱的定价方式并不相同)”以及后文“The same room in the same building can be worth very different amounts depending on the day, season, and local demand.(同一栋楼里的同一间客房，价格会因日期、季节和当地需求而产生很大差异)”可知，本段侧重说明影响客房价格的因素。C选项“A room’s value depends heavily on timing.(客房价格在很大程度上取决于时间)”衔接上下文，符合语境。 2．根据前文“Some travelers book months in advance, while others leave it until the last minute.(有些旅客提前数月预订，也有人直到最后一刻才预订)”以及后文“If rooms are selling earlier than usual, rates may increase sooner. If there is unexpected availability closer to arrival, prices may be adjusted again.(如果客房售罄时间早于往常，房价会提前上涨；临近入住时若出现剩余空房，价格又会再次调整)”可知，酒店对于旅客常见的做法。B选项“Hotels track these patterns closely.(酒店会密切追踪这些规律)”承接前后内容，符合语境。 3．根据后文“If similar nearby properties are filling up, or charging more, that affects how a hotel positions its own rates.(如果周边同类酒店客房满房或提高价格，也会影响这家酒店的定价)”可知，酒店定价会受周边同行影响。A选项“Hotels do not operate in isolation.(酒店并非孤立运营)”引出下文。 4．根据前文“these tools help hotels analyse booking trends, monitor market signals, and update pricing in line with real demand.(这类软件帮助酒店分析预订趋势、监测市场信号，并根据实际需求调整价格)”以及后文“It means hotels are using better information to make better decisions.(这意味着酒店依托更全面的信息做出更合理的决策)”可知，此处说明软件定价也要考虑很多因素。F选项“This does not mean prices are invented at random by a machine.(这并不代表价格是机器随意设定的)”承上启下，符合语境。 5．根据前文“Understanding how hotel pricing works can make booking decisions feel less frustrating. Travelling outside peak periods, avoiding major local event dates, or booking earlier can all help. It also helps to compare dates rather than looking at one night in isolation(孤立状态).(了解酒店的定价规则，能让预订过程少些困扰。避开出行旺季、当地大型活动日期，或是提前预订，这些方法都能有所帮助。另外，不要只单独查看某一晚的房价，多对比不同日期，同样管用)”可知，空处给旅客提出订房建议。G选项“A small shift in travel plans can sometimes lead to a much better rate.(稍微调整出行计划，有时就能拿到实惠得多的房价)”承接上文建议，总结收尾，符合语境。 Passage 4 As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate. 1 I believed teaching would keep me close to art, but I didn’t expect how deeply it would reshape me — not just my time, but how I think, see, and create. Through teaching, I’ve become a more grounded and aware artist, and here’s how. First, teaching taught me to explain my work. When I started, I couldn’t just rely on intuition (直觉). I had to slow down and find words for why a piece works. This skill is invaluable, whether writing an artist statement or talking about my process. Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing. 2 Next, teaching keeps me connected to the basics. As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain. 3 When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations — not rigidly, but to check my structure and ensure I haven’t lost the thread. 4 Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods. Teaching keeps my creativity fresh and prevents me from becoming overly precious with my work. In brief, teaching has become an inseparable part of my art practice. It has sharpened how l communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery. 5 Together, they have made me the artist I am today. A．These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other. B．Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage. C．Advanced techniques are more attractive to professional artists. D．Instead, they feel like different parts of the same conversation. E．Therefore, I usually finish my teaching before I start to create art. F．The basics are often ignored, yet they are the true foundation of great art. G．And over time, that made me more confident in how I talk about my work. 【答案】1．D 2．G 3．F 4．B 5．A 【导语】文章主要介绍身兼艺术家与教师双重身份的作者，教学工作从表达能力、艺术基础、创作思维等方面促进自身艺术创作与成长。 1．上文“As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate.(作为一名同时从事教学的艺术家，我从不认为这两个身份是相互独立的)”表明作者不认为艺术家和教师两个身份相互割裂，D选项“Instead, they feel like different parts of the same conversation.(相反，它们如同同一场交流的不同部分)”承接上文，进一步阐释两个身份的关联关系。 2．上文“Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing.(教学锻炼我专注自身实际创作行为，而非主观臆想的创作状态)”介绍教学带来的能力提升，G选项“And over time, that made me more confident in how I talk about my work.(久而久之，这让我在阐述自己的作品时更加自信)”承接上文，递进说明这项能力带来的积极影响。 3．上文“As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain.(我反复讲授构图、色彩、对比等艺术原理，不断意识到这些基础内容至关重要)”强调艺术基础的重要价值，F选项“The basics are often ignored, yet they are the true foundation of great art.(基础知识常常被忽视，却是优秀艺术真正的根基)”承接上文，深化艺术基础的核心作用；下文“When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations(当我的作品状态不佳时，我就回归这些基础)”与选项内容呼应。 4．下文“Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods.(初学者创作时不拘泥于规则和外界评价，这份自由激励我走出舒适区、尝试新事物，避免创作方式僵化)”讲述学生带给作者的创作启发，B选项“Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage.(最后，我的学生，尤其是初学者，给予我勇气)”总领本段内容，贴合前文First、Next的分层论述结构。 5．上文“It has sharpened how I communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery.(教学提升了我的表达能力，让我扎根艺术基础，重塑了我的创作勇气)”总结了教学对艺术创作的多重积极作用，A选项“These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other.(这两个身份不仅相互交融，还能彼此赋能)”总结全文，呼应开篇双身份相辅相成的核心观点。 Passage 5 Working takes up a large part of our daily lives. We all want to make the most of our work time. 1 . Here are four simple habits to help you work more effectively in the office. Working takes up a large part of our daily lives. We all want to make the most of our work time. · 2 . Many people wait for the perfect choice before acting, which often leads to delay. It is better to make a choice fast and adjust later if needed. Remember that most decisions are not permanent; you can change your path as you learn more. Taking action is usually more important than waiting for certainty. ·Communicate clearly and early with your team. Being a good communicator helps you avoid many problems. 3 . Let your boss know immediately if timelines change; asking for a new deadline is better than missing the old one. Clear communication builds trust among co-workers and ensures everyone knows what to expect from you. ·Ask for help when the workload feels too heavy. Everyone feels stressed at times and it is normal to fall behind on certain tasks. 4 . Do not be afraid to request assistance from your team. Co-workers are often happy to help if you give them enough notice. ·Prioritize rest and maintain a healthy balance. 5 . Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Make sure to get enough sleep every night and take short breaks during the day to refresh your mind. Spend quality time with family and friends after work, and disconnect from emails and messages to recharge. By adding these simple habits to your daily routine, you can become more productive and feel more in control of your work. A．However, this is not always easy B．Make decisions quickly to keep moving forward C．Sometimes you need to hand over tasks to others D．If your project involves others, tell them your status soon E．Your mental and physical health directly influence your work output F．Proper work strategies can help you improve your productivity significantly G．Many people try to finish more work by working harder but end up being less efficient 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．E 【导语】本文介绍了四种能提升办公室工作效率的简单习惯。 1．根据上文“We all want to make the most of our work time.(我们都想充分利用工作时间。)”和下文“Here are four simple habits to help you work more effectively.(这里有四个简单的习惯帮你高效工作。)”可知，上文提出大家都想高效利用工作时间，下文随即给出解决办法。A选项 “However, this is not always easy.(然而这并不容易。)”形成语义转折，承上启下，自然引出下文的建议。 2．根据下文“Many people wait for the perfect choice before acting, which often leads to delay. It is better to make a choice fast and adjust later if needed.(很多人总要等到有完美选择才行动，这往往会造成拖延。最好快速做出选择，之后如有需要再进行调整。)”可知，本段核心围绕做决定、避免拖延展开。B选项“Make decisions quickly to keep moving forward.(快速做决定，稳步推进。)”是本段中心句，精准概括段落主旨，统领下文内容。 3．根据本段主旨“Communicate clearly and early with your team.(尽早和团队清晰沟通。)”和下文“Let your boss know immediately if timelines change.(如果时间表有变动，请立即通知你的上司。)”可知，空格前后都在举例说明“及时沟通”的具体做法。D选项“If your project involves others, tell them your status soon.(若项目涉及他人，及时告知进展。)”和下文告知上司的例子并列，同为沟通的具体场景，逻辑连贯。 4．根据上文“Everyone feels stressed at times andit is normal to fall behind on certain tasks.(每个人都会有压力，偶尔在某些任务上落后也是正常的。)”和下文“Do not be afraid to request assistance from your team.(别怕向团队求助。)”可知，本段主题是工作量大时主动求助。C选项“Sometimes you need to hand over tasks to others.(有时你需要转交任务给他人。)”承接上文“进度落后”，引出下文“寻求帮助”，语义衔接顺畅。 5．根据本段主旨“Prioritize rest and maintain a healthy balance.(优先保证休息，保持健康的生活平衡)”和下文“Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity.(自我照顾并非一种奢侈行为，而是一种必需之事。)”可知，本段围绕休息、身心健康展开。E选项“Your mental and physical health directly influence your work output.(你的身心健康直接影响工作成果。)”点明休息和健康对工作的意义，作为段首主旨句，引出后文睡眠、休息、放松等具体建议。 Passage 6 Plants don’t hear sound like humans do, but they can feel vibrations from sound and respond positively to certain types of music, according to a study published in Nature. The sound vibrations from music copy natural influences like wind or water. 1 They have taller stems (茎), larger flowers, and healthier leaves. Singing can also encourage healthy plants by adding CO₂. Chris Beardshaw, a gardening expert, conducted a greenhouse experiment comparing music types. He discovered that classical music slightly improved growth, while the music of rock and roll singer Cliff Richard led to plants dying. The loud, rhythmic energy of heavy metal proved most effective for flowering. 2 Overall, findings seem to demonstrate that plants prefer more rhythmic types, especially classical and heavy metal. According to the garden company Moana nursery, classical music seems to work wonders to keep the pores (气孔) on the outer skin of plants open longer. 3 Heavy metal appears to stimulate even greater growth. You can even find playlists on Spotify made just for your plants. However, understanding plants’ music taste can be tricky. It can depend on all sorts of variables like plant type, music style, and environmental factors. 4 The improvements in plant health observed during these studies could also be caused by better plant care and attentive behavior from caretakers. 5 Play Mozart’s light music as you tend to flowers, or put on Metallica’s energetic beats while planting vegetables. You might notice lusher (更茂盛的) growth, or maybe no change at all. But either way, at the very least, you’ll have a great soundtrack. A．In this way, they can take in more air. B．Plants may sense someone is watching them nearby. C．It was revealed that plants exposed to music grow faster. D．After all, unlike animals, plants’ sense of hearing is weak. E．Stricter controls are needed to link music and plant growth. F．A link between energetic music and plant health is suggested. G．Whether plants like music or not, adding it to your gardening. 【答案】1．C 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．G 【导语】文章主要讲述了研究表明植物虽无听觉，但能感知特定音乐的振动以促进生长，并建议园艺中加入音乐。 1．上文“The sound vibrations from music copy natural influences like wind or water.(音乐产生的声音振动模仿了风和流水等自然影响)”说明音乐振动对植物的作用机制。下文“They have taller stems, larger flowers, and healthier leaves.(它们拥有更高的茎、更大的花朵和更健康的叶子)”描述了听音乐后植物的具体生长表现。空处承上启下，应总结植物接触音乐后的整体变化。选项C“It was revealed that plants exposed to music grow faster.(研究表明，接触音乐的植物生长得更快)”中的“grow faster”概括了下文提到的茎高、花大、叶茂等现象，与上下文逻辑连贯，符合语境。 2．上文“The loud, rhythmic energy of heavy metal proved most effective for flowering.(事实证明，重金属那种响亮、有节奏的能量对开花最有效)”说明了重金属音乐对植物开花的积极影响。空处应承接上文，进一步说明这种能量与植物健康之间的联系。选项F“A link between energetic music and plant health is suggested.(这表明了充满活力的音乐与植物健康之间存在联系)”直接总结了上文的实验发现，起到了承上启下的作用，符合语境。 3．上文“According to the garden company Moana nursery, classical music seems to work wonders to keep the pores (气孔) on the outer skin of plants open longer.(据莫阿纳苗圃花园公司称，古典音乐似乎具有奇效，能使植物表皮上的气孔保持更长时间的张开状态)”解释了古典音乐的物理效应。下文“Heavy metal appears to stimulate even greater growth.(重金属似乎能刺激植物长得更好)”继续对比不同音乐的效果。空处应解释气孔张开带来的直接结果。选项A“In this way, they can take in more air.(通过这种方式，它们可以吸入更多的空气)”中的“this way”指代前文“pores open longer”，逻辑上解释了植物长势更好的原因，符合语境。 4．上文“It can depend on all sorts of variables like plant type, music style, and environmental factors.(这可能取决于各种变量，如植物类型、音乐风格和环境因素)”指出了研究的复杂性。下文“The improvements in plant health observed during these studies could also be caused by better plant care and attentive behavior from caretakers.(在这些研究中观察到的植物健康状况的改善，也可能是由于园丁更好的照料和关注行为造成的)”提出了植物变好的另一种可能性（安慰剂效应或照顾更周）。空处应起到转折或提出质疑的作用，指出因果关系的不确定性。选项E“Stricter controls are needed to link music and plant growth.(要将音乐与植物生长联系起来，需要更严格的控制)”指出了当前研究的局限性，与后文内容相呼应，符合语境。 5．下文“Play Mozart’s light music as you tend to flowers, or put on Metallica’s energetic beats while planting vegetables.(在照料花卉时播放莫扎特的轻音乐，或者在种植蔬菜时放上Metallica充满活力的节拍)”给出了具体的行动建议。空处应为本段的主题句，号召读者采取行动。选项G“Whether plants like music or not, adding it to your gardening.(无论植物是否喜欢音乐，把它加入你的园艺活动中吧)”既呼应了标题的不确定性，又引出了下文的具体做法，符合语境。 Passage 7 Benefits of Calling Friends and Family Lately, I’ve been texting more than calling, fearing calls are disturbing. 1 It reveals we overestimate the awkwardness of calls and underestimate how much closer they make us feel, compared to texts. Though texting is the norm, it may not offer the same interpersonal benefits or ease loneliness as effectively as phone conversations. 2 Our voices convey emotions in ways texts cannot, which is vital for connections. According to Evolution and Human Behavior, hearing a familiar voice reduces stress and stimulates oxytocin (催产素), the chemical that builds warmth and trust. Also, calling reduces misunderstandings. In one study, participants reported miscommunications in texts due to a lack of verbal clues, unclear emotional intention, and uncertainty about the sender’s attention. The simplicity of texts, along with acronyms (首字母缩写) and poor punctuation (标点), further complicates interpretation. Delayed text replies can create uncertainty about the sender’s feelings, while phone conversations provide immediate clarity through tone and real-time responses. 3 Yet, research in the Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy shows that using texts for serious discussions or apologies can lead to more conflict in future interactions. Only affectionate texts had a positive effect. However, none of the research is meant to imply that texting is always a poor choice for communicating. It remains useful across time zones, for those with speech or hearing challenges, or for quick, practical updates. It can also ease social anxiety. 4 And then there are some who are just not used to talking on the phone, particularly young people who’ve grown up in a texting culture. Still, they recognize that calling may be better with certain people. At least some parents are encouraging them to call. So, why not consider picking up a phone and making a call a little more often? 5 And your relationships might become even closer, too. A．Familiar voices avoid misunderstandings. B．Many choose texting to get time to weigh their words. C．Calling may feel too close or stressful for some people. D．Of course, texting really shines for someone used to texting. E．You may be surprised by how much better it feels to talk than to text. F．For those who prefer texting, calling can still strengthen social bonds. G．However, a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology made a finding. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．B 4．C 5．E 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究表明，打电话比发短信更能拉近人际距离、减少误会。短信虽有不少适用场景，但不宜用于严肃交流。文章建议人们多打电话，以此维系情感、增进关系。 1．前文“Lately, I’ve been texting more than calling, fearing calls are disturbing.( 最近，我打电话的次数比发短信的要少，因为我担心打电话会让人感到打扰的。)”作者自述“习惯发短信、怕打电话打扰别人”，以及后文“It reveals we overestimate the awkwardness of calls and underestimate how much closer they make us feel, compared to texts.( 这表明我们高估了通话的尴尬程度，而低估了通话相比短信更能让我们感受到的亲密感。)”直接引出研究结论 “我们高估了打电话的尴尬，低估了它带来的亲近感”。空格需要一个过渡句引出研究。G 选项“However, a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology made a finding.( 然而，《实验心理学杂志》的一项研究得出了一个结论。)”中，a study与后文的 It reveals 形成完美指代关系，自然完成从个人体验到科学研究的转折。 2．第一段结尾“Though texting is the norm, it may not offer the same interpersonal benefits or ease loneliness as effectively as phone conversations.( 尽管发短信是常态，但它可能无法像电话交谈那样有效地提供人际交往的益处或缓解孤独感。)”指出“发短信不如打电话能有效带来人际益处、缓解孤独”，后文整段“According to Evolution and Human Behavior, hearing a familiar voice reduces stress and stimulates oxytocin (催产素), the chemical that builds warmth and trust. Also, calling reduces misunderstandings.( 根据《进化与人类行为》杂志的研究，听到熟悉的声音可以减轻压力并刺激催产素（一种能增强温暖感和信任感的化学物质）。此外，打电话还能减少误解。)”解释“打电话为何能增进联系”（声音传达情感、减少误解）。空格需要一个承上启下的主题句，针对文章核心受众（习惯发短信的人）展开。F 选项“For those who prefer texting, calling can still strengthen social bonds.( 对于那些偏爱发短信的人来说，打电话仍然可以加强社会纽带。)”精准承接上文，同时引出后文对打电话优势的具体解释，贴合文章“说服短信爱好者多打电话”的写作目的。 3．前文“Delayed text replies can create uncertainty about the sender’s feelings, while phone conversations provide immediate clarity through tone and real-time responses.( 延迟回复短信会让人对发送者的情感产生不确定感，而电话通话则通过语气和实时回应提供即时的清晰度。)”指出“电话能通过语气和实时回复提供即时清晰度”，后文“Yet, research in the Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy shows that using texts for serious discussions or apologies can lead to more conflict in future interactions.( 然而，《夫妻与关系治疗杂志》的研究表明，将严肃的讨论或道歉内容通过短信传达可能会导致未来交流中出现更多冲突。)”转折“用短信进行严肃讨论或道歉会导致更多冲突”。空格需要说明“人们为何仍选择短信”，形成逻辑转折。B 选项“Many choose texting to get time to weigh their words.( 很多人选择发短信是为了有时间斟酌措辞。)”准确点出短信的核心优势，与前文“电话即时性” 形成对比，同时为后文“短信处理严肃问题的弊端”做铺垫，逻辑链条完整。 4．前文“It remains useful across time zones, for those with speech or hearing challenges, or for quick, practical updates. It can also ease social anxiety.( 它在跨越时区、对于有语言或听力障碍的人群、或者用于快速实用的更新等方面仍然非常有用。它还能缓解社交焦虑。)”列举了短信的多个适用场景（跨时区、听说障碍、快速通知、缓解社交焦虑），后文“And then there are some who are just not used to talking on the phone, particularly young people who’ve grown up in a texting culture.( 还有一些人就是不太习惯打电话，尤其是那些成长于短信文化中的年轻人。)”递进“还有一些人只是不习惯打电话”。空格需要补充“人们偏好短信的另一个原因”。C 选项“Calling may feel too close or stressful for some people.( 对有些人来说，打电话可能感觉过于亲近或有压力。)”与前文“短信能缓解社交焦虑”呼应，同时与后文的“And then there are some...”形成并列结构，完整说明不同人群偏好短信的原因。 5．前文“So, why not consider picking up a phone and making a call a little more often?( 所以，为什么不考虑拿起电话，多打几次电话呢？)”发出呼吁“为什么不考虑多打打电话呢？”，后文“And your relationships might become even closer, too.( 你的关系也会因此变得更加亲密。)”补充“你的人际关系也可能变得更亲密”。空格需要说明打电话给个人带来的直接感受，与后文的人际关系好处形成递进。E选项“You may be surprised by how much better it feels to talk than to text.( 你可能会惊讶地发现，打电话比发短信感觉好得多。)”既呼应了开头研究提到的“低估打电话的愉悦感”，又与后文“人际关系更亲密”形成并列的双重好处，完美收束全文。 Passage 8 In an era of information explosion, many people tend to accept what they see or hear without thinking, while a few others are labeled as “contrarians (叛逆的人)” just because they question everything. This has become a common social phenomenon. 1 In fact, it is a core cognitive (认知的) ability. Questioning everything is the essence of critical thinking. 2 For example, when we are told a certain food is “extremely harmful”, critical thinking does not immediately deny it. Instead, it encourages us to ask: What is the source of this claim? Is there scientific evidence to support it? Are there any conflicting studies? It is not about being negative, but about seeking objective evidence. 3 Some people fall into the trap of cognitive biases without realizing it. They may refuse to accept new information that goes against their existing beliefs. These biases are so common that most people are unaware of their existence, and critical thinking is the key to recognizing and overcoming them. However, critical thinking is not an inborn talent as many people believe, but a skill that can be trained and improved through daily practice. 4 When having a discussion with others, listen to opposing views carefully instead of interrupting immediately. Every time we actively challenge our own thinking, we are polishing our critical thinking ability. With consistent practice, this ability will become an essential part of our thinking. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than ever, critical thinking is no longer a “bonus skill” for a few people. 5 It allows us to stand firm in the tide of information, and to live and think as an independent individual. A．We can start with small things. B．Cognitive ability also requires logical reasoning. C．It starts with the willingness to question assumptions. D．It is a necessary ability for everyone to survive and thrive. E．Critical thinking also requires us to avoid cognitive biases. F．This is why many people stick to wrong views unconsciously. G．Critical thinking is often undervalued in such a social context. 【答案】1．G 2．C 3．E 4．A 5．D 【导语】这篇文章探讨了批判性思维的重要性。文章指出，在信息爆炸的时代，质疑是批判性思维的核心，它能帮助我们克服认知偏差；批判性思维并非天生，而是可以通过日常练习培养的，是每个人生存和发展的必备能力。 1．前文“In an era of information explosion, many people tend to accept what they see or hear without thinking, while a few others are labeled as “contrarians(叛逆的人)” just because they question everything.( 在信息爆炸的时代，许多人往往只是被动地接受他们所看到或听到的东西，而不加思考，而另一些人则因质疑一切而被贴上“逆向者”的标签。)”描述了 “质疑者被贴上叛逆标签”的社会现象，后文“In fact, it is a core cognitive(认知的) ability.( 实际上，这是一种核心的认知能力。)”转折指出“它（批判性思维）是核心认知能力”。空格需要衔接“社会偏见”与“批判性思维的真实价值”。G选项“Critical thinking is often undervalued in such a social context.( 在这样的社会背景下，批判性思维常常被低估。)”such a social context 精准指代前文“质疑者被误解”的现象，undervalued 与后文“核心认知能力”形成强烈转折，逻辑严丝合缝。 2．本段首句“Questioning everything is the essence of critical thinking. (质疑一切是批判性思维的本质。)”点明“质疑是批判性思维的本质”，后文“For example, when we are told a certain food is “extremely harmful”, critical thinking does not immediately deny it.( 例如，当我们被告知某种食物“极其有害”时，批判性思维不会立即否认它。)”通过“食物有害论” 的例子，具体说明批判性思维如何通过提问寻求证据。空格需要解释“批判性思维如何从质疑开始”。C选项“It starts with the willingness to question assumptions.( 它始于质疑既有假设的意愿。)”It指代前文的 critical thinking，question assumptions 呼应首句的 questioning everything，同时为后文的一系列提问做铺垫。 3．根据后文“Some people fall into the trap of cognitive biases without realizing it. They may refuse to accept new information that goes against their existing beliefs. These biases are so common that most people are unaware of their existence, and critical thinking is the key to recognizing and overcoming them.( 有些人不知不觉地陷入了认知偏差的陷阱。他们可能会拒绝接受与他们现有信念相悖的新信息。这些偏差如此常见，以至于大多数人都没有意识到它们的存在，而批判性思维是识别和克服它们的关键。)”可知，整段围绕“认知偏差的危害”以及“批判性思维是克服偏差的关键”展开。空格需要作为本段主题句，点明批判性思维与认知偏差的关系。E选项“Critical thinking also requires us to avoid cognitive biases.( 批判性思维还要求我们避免认知偏差。)”cognitive biases 是本段的核心关键词，also 承接上一段 “批判性思维始于质疑”的内容，形成递进，完美总领全段。 4．前文“However, critical thinking is not an inborn talent as many people believe, but a skill that can be trained and improved through daily practice.( 然而，批判性思维并非像许多人认为的那样是与生俱来的天赋，而是一种可以通过日常练习来训练和提高的技能。)”指出“批判性思维可以通过日常练习提升”，后文“When having a discussion with others, listen to opposing views carefully instead of interrupting immediately. Every time we actively challenge our own thinking, we are polishing our critical thinking ability. ( 当与他人进行讨论时，要认真倾听不同的观点，而不是立即打断对方。每次我们积极挑战自己的想法时，我们都在提升自己的批判性思维能力。)”列举了“倾听不同意见”“挑战自我思维”等具体练习方法。空格需要衔接“可练习”与“具体做法”。A选项“We can start with small things.(我们可以从小事做起。)”自然引出后文的具体日常练习，使段落从“理论”过渡到“实践”，行文流畅。 5．前文“In a world where misinformation spreads faster than ever, critical thinking is no longer a “bonus skill” for a few people.( 在一个错误信息传播速度比以往任何时候都快的世界里，批判性思维不再只是少数人的“额外技能”。)”说“批判性思维不再是少数人的加分技能”，后文“It allows us to stand firm in the tide of information, and to live and think as an independent individual.( 它使我们能够在信息的洪流中站稳脚跟，并以独立个体的身份生活和思考。)”强调它能让我们成为独立的思考者。空格需要升华批判性思维的普适性和重要性。D选项“It is a necessary ability for everyone to survive and thrive.( 它是每个人生存和发展的必要能力。)”necessary ability 与前文的 no longer a bonus skill 形成递进，准确概括了批判性思维在信息时代的核心价值，收束全文有力。 Passage 9 While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out-one country is reserving the start of the weekend for relaxation. 1 Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home. It’s all about creating space for closeness and ease after a long and busy workweek. The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth. 2 Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over. Almost every Swede practices this at least once a month, showing their appreciation for balance in life. 3 Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos. This tradition prioritizes feeling good over social status and productivity, a sign of Sweden’s emphasis on balancing work and rest. Placing importance on productivity may lead to burnout. Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion. 4 At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health. Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge. 5 Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough! A．The term first appeared in a newspaper in 1994. B．Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction. C．In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm. D．Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home. E．Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress. F．Without noise or crowds, people tend to be more present with one another. G．Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa. 【答案】1．C 2．G 3．B 4．E 5．D 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了瑞典盛行名为Fredagsmys的周五居家放松习俗，当地气候助推它流行。该传统可缓解压力、呵护身心，如今也渐渐在世界各地传播开来。 1．上文“While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out— one country is re serving the start of the weekend for relaxation.( 虽然在世界上的许多地方，周五晚上意味着外出，但有一个国家把周末的开始留给了放松。)”对比“多数国家周五外出”，引出“有一个国家偏爱放松”；下文“Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home.( 许多瑞典人不会立即为一场盛大的晚间外出活动做准备，而是遵循Fredagsmys这一令人感到安心的仪式，通过在家中的慢节奏生活来开启周末。)”可知，空处需要一个承上启下的句子，既呼应前文所指的“一个国家”，又引出下文的瑞典具体习俗。C项“In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm.( 在瑞典，一个典型的周五夜晚遵循一种让人放松的节奏。)”符合，它完美地承接了上句对“一个国家”的暗示，并引出下句的详细解释。 2．上文“The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth.(“Fredagsmys”这个词结合了“fredag”（瑞典语中“周五”的意思）和“mys”（表示舒适和温暖的词汇）。)”拆解了单词 Fredagsmys 的两个组成部分及含义；下文“Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over.( 享受游戏，或许还能分享一份披萨，在一种轻松的氛围中度过，这标志着工作周的结束。)”开始描述具体活动。空格需总结这两个单词组合后的整体含义。G项“Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa.( 这些词共同呈现了一个在家中的沙发上度过的轻松周五夜晚。)”符合此推断，它紧承上句的词汇解析，并自然引出下句对具体活动场景的描述。 3．下文“Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos.( 瑞典漫长的、寒冷且黑暗的冬季自然促使人们进行室内聚会，而Fredagsmys则提供了一种无需额外努力就能保持联系的方式。“在寒冷和黑暗的月份里，对于我们瑞典人来说，Fredagsmys是一种即使疲惫时也能与亲人保持联系的方式，”情感治疗师索菲·罗斯说道。)”整段围绕“瑞典漫长寒冷黑暗的冬天催生了室内聚会的需求，Fredagsmys 恰好满足了这一点”展开。空格处需要作为本段主题句，点明气候和生活方式对该传统的影响。B项“Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction.( 气候和生活方式共同塑造了它的吸引力。)”Climate对应下文 long, cold, and dark winters，总领全段，为最佳主题句。 4．上文“Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion.( Fredagsmys提供了一种内置的暂停，每周的界限可以防止这种疲惫。)”提到该习俗能缓解工作疲惫；下文段落“At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health.( 在忙碌的一周结束后，有意地放慢节奏能够恢复平衡、加强人际关系，并有助于维护心理健康。)”又提到它“有益于心理健康”。空格需要递进补充好处，起到过渡作用。E项“Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress.( 此外，它还能缓解压力，对心理健康产生积极影响。)”Additionally（此外）表递进；mental health衔接下一段核心内容，过渡自然。 5．上文“Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge.( 也许Fredagsmys已经传遍世界，因为它满足了人们放松和充电的共同需求。)”说明该习俗在全球流行的原因；后文“Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough!( 仅仅庆祝这种温馨简约的生活方式，并认为这已经足够就好啦！)”是一句抒情呼吁（享受简单美好）。空格需要从“介绍习俗”转为向读者提出建议，语气保持一致。D项“Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home.( 这个周末，就从居家陪伴挚爱之人开始吧。)”同为祈使句式，贴合文末呼吁的语境，完美收束全文。 Passage 10 Mental health education is increasingly vital in our fast-paced, complex world. 1 This education helps individuals recognize the importance of mental health in their lives. Let’s explore the reasons why mental health education is significant. One of the primary reasons why mental health education is essential is its role in reducing stigma (污名). 2 Educating the public about mental health can clarify what mental health conditions are really about, and emphasize that these are common and treatable. It can create a more accepting and supportive environment for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. 3 When individuals are educated about the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, they are more likely to recognize these signs in themselves or others early on so as to stop mental health conditions from worsening. This awareness often leads to more effective treatment and enhances overall well-being and quality of life. Mental health education is essential for building resilience. By learning about mental well-being, individuals gain valuable tools to handle stress and bounce back from adversities. They learn how to manage emotions, deal with anxiety, and cultivate a positive mindset. 4 When individuals understand how to care for their mental health, they are better equipped to maintain balance and well-being in their lives. Mental health education is crucial for improving overall health and well-being. It highlights the interconnection between mental and physical health. Mental health education also stresses the importance of seeking help and support when needed, promoting an integrated approach to health that includes mental, emotional, and physical aspects. 5 A．These skills are beneficial for personal development. B．Mental health education provides rich resources for society. C．This view is key to achieving a healthier, more balanced life. D．It helps individuals to deal with various mental health issues. E．It’s about developing a comprehensive awareness of mental well-being. F．Mental health education is critical for early detection and prevention. G．Mental health issues are often misunderstood, causing prejudice against sufferers. 【答案】1．E 2．G 3．F 4．A 5．C 【导语】文章主要介绍心理健康教育的重要意义，体现在消除偏见、预防心理问题、塑造抗压能力及提升整体健康等方面。 1．上文“Mental health education is increasingly vital in our fast-paced, complex world.(在快节奏、复杂的世界中，心理健康教育愈发重要)”点明心理健康教育的重要地位，下文“This education helps individuals recognize the importance of mental health in their lives.(这种教育帮助人们认识到心理健康在生活中的重要性)”介绍其作用。E选项“It’s about developing a comprehensive awareness of mental well-being.(它旨在培养全面的心理健康意识)”承接上文、引出下文，具体解释心理健康教育的核心内涵，上下文语意通顺。 2．上文“One of the primary reasons why mental health education is essential is its role in reducing stigma.(心理健康教育至关重要的主要原因之一是它能够消除污名)”点明本段核心是消除心理疾病污名。G选项“Mental health issues are often misunderstood, causing prejudice against sufferers.(心理健康问题常被误解，导致人们对患者产生偏见)”承接上文的“污名”，解释污名的具体表现，逻辑衔接紧密。 3．本空为段首主旨句，概括整段内容。下文“When individuals are educated about the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, they are more likely to recognize these signs in themselves or others early on so as to stop mental health conditions from worsening.(当人们了解心理健康问题的征兆和症状时，更易及早发现自身或他人的问题，防止病情恶化)”重点讲述心理健康教育对“早发现、早预防”心理问题的作用。F选项“Mental health education is critical for early detection and prevention.(心理健康教育对早期发现和预防至关重要)”精准概括本段主旨，贴合段落核心内容。 4．上文“They learn how to manage emotions, deal with anxiety, and cultivate a positive mindset.(人们学习管控情绪、应对焦虑、培养积极心态)”介绍心理健康教育带来的各项能力和技能。A选项“These skills are beneficial for personal development.(这些技能对个人发展十分有益)”中“These skills”指代上文提到的情绪管理、抗压、心态调节等能力，承接上文，总结这些能力的价值。 5．上文“Mental health education also stresses the importance of seeking help and support when needed, promoting an integrated approach to health that includes mental, emotional, and physical aspects.

But what if your next footstep came with a small twist — following a specific color as your guide? This idea, known as a “color walk”, has recently gained popularity on social media both in China and abroad. 1 As the trend spreads, many netizens have begun sharing photos online, while some cities have released color-walk guides for residents. 2 In Shenzhen, Guangdong province, for example, those searching for pink might find bougainvillea in Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park, or trumpet-shaped flowers along parks and roads. 3 But beyond the colors themselves, this simple activity may also lead to unexpected discoveries. 4 “After a whole day of color walking, the world felt brand new,” one netizen wrote on Sina Weibo. “Places I used to overlook suddenly seemed worth noticing — a yellow bicycle under a tree, or a yellow taxi parked behind a house.” 5 Sometimes, all it takes is a single color to turn an ordinary walk into a small act of rediscovery. A．Participants choose a single color and challenge themselves to spot objects, buildings, and scenery in that hue along the way. B．In Yichang, Hubei province, nearly 40,000 square meters of rapeseed blossoms form a bright yellow sea beneath the blue sky. C．Many find that this focused observation brings back a sense of freshness to familiar routes. D．This practice turns an ordinary walk into a more engaging and mindful experience. E．It encourages people to see their surroundings from a different angle. F．City governments are also using this trend to promote local tourism.

But there’s one person who draws more attention than the dogs themselves. 1 . Marcus Chen, a retired librarian in his seventies, sits on the same bench by the fountain every weekend. He doesn’t own a dog, but he brings a small bag of homemade treats and waits quietly. 2 . When a nervous rescue dog refuses to move past the fountain, Marcus leans down and speaks softly. When a puppy jumps excitedly at every passerby, he demonstrates a calm hand signal. 3 . He says his reward is watching the “light bulb moments” — when a fearful dog finally wags its tail, or when a frustrated owner realizes their pet just needed patience. Sometimes it takes a whole morning to help just one dog. What people don’t know is that Marcus used to be afraid of dogs as a child. A neighborhood mailman took the time to introduce him gently to his four-legged companions. 4 . “That mailman probably never knew what he did for me,” Marcus says with a warm smile. “Now I just want to pass it on.” Last month, a group of dog owners surprised Marcus with a new bench — one with a small metal plate that reads, “Marcus’s Spot: For the Man Who Listens.” 5 . However, every Saturday at 9 a.m., you’ll still find him there, treats in his bag, waiting to meet a new four-legged friend. A．Marcus never charges a penny. B．He has two dogs of his own at home. C．He lets the dogs come to him on their own terms. D．While owners chase after their pets, he sits quietly. E．That small act of kindness changed his life decades ago. F．He once worked as a professional dog trainer for fifteen years. G．Marcus admits it’s “awfully comfortable” but insisted it wasn’t necessary. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．E 5．G 【导语】文章主要讲述了Marcus Chen这位退休图书管理员，每个周末坐在公园长椅上，用耐心和温和的方式帮助狗主人与他们的宠物建立更好的沟通，以此传递童年时受到的善意。 1．上文“But there’s one person who draws more attention than the dogs themselves.(但有一个人比狗本身更引人注目)”指出有一个人格外引人注目，D选项“While owners chase after their pets, he sits quietly.(当主人们追赶他们的宠物时，他却安静地坐着)”承接上文，通过对比描绘了这个人安静坐着、与众不同的形象；下文介绍了Marcus Chen的身份和他周末在公园的行为，与D选项中的“sits quietly”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。 2．上文“He doesn’t own a dog, but he brings a small bag of homemade treats and waits quietly.(他没有养狗，但会带一小袋自制的零食，安静地等待)”描述了Marcus的行为方式——等待而非主动接近，C选项“He lets the dogs come to him on their own terms.(他让狗狗按照自己的意愿来找他)”承接上文，进一步解释他行为背后的原则——让狗主动靠近；下文“When a nervous rescue dog refuses to move past the fountain, Marcus leans down and speaks softly.(当一只紧张的收容犬不肯走过喷泉时，Marcus会弯下腰轻声说话)”举例说明他如何以温和的方式与狗狗互动，与C选项中的“on their own terms”相呼应。 3．下文“He says his reward is watching the “light bulb moments” — when a fearful dog finally wags its tail, or when a frustrated owner realizes their pet just needed patience.(他说他的回报就是看到那些“顿悟时刻”——当一只恐惧的狗终于摇起尾巴，或者当一位沮丧的主人意识到他们的宠物只是需要耐心)”说明Marcus做这些事不求物质回报，A选项“Marcus never charges a penny.(Marcus从不收一分钱)”概括了下文的核心内容，点明他帮助他人完全是出于善意而非盈利，与下文的“reward is watching the light bulb moments”形成逻辑关联，符合段落主题句的功能。 4．上文“What people don’t know is that Marcus used to be afraid of dogs as a child. A neighborhood mailman took the time to introduce him gently to his four-legged companions.(人们不知道的是，Marcus小时候曾经害怕狗。一位邻居邮差花时间温和地把他介绍给他的四条腿的伙伴们)”介绍了他童年时受到善意的经历，E选项“That small act of kindness changed his life decades ago.(那个小小的善举几十年前改变了他的生活)”承接上文，指出那段经历对他产生的深远影响；下文“Now I just want to pass it on.(现在我只想把它传递下去)”中的“pass it on”指代E选项中的“that small act of kindness”，说明他如今帮助他人的动机，上下文逻辑连贯。 5．上文“Last month, a group of dog owners surprised Marcus with a new bench — one with a small metal plate that reads, “Marcus’s Spot: For the Man Who Listens.”(上个月，一群狗主人给Marcus一个惊喜，送了他一把新长椅——上面有一块小金属牌，写着“Marcus的位置：献给那个倾听的人”)”描述了狗主人对他的感谢方式——赠送刻字长椅，G选项“Marcus admits it’s “awfully comfortable” but insisted it wasn’t necessary.(Marcus承认它“非常舒适”，但坚持说没有必要)”承接上文，说明Marcus对这份礼物的态度——虽然欣赏但认为不必如此；下文“However, every Saturday at 9 a.m., you’ll still find him there, treats in his bag, waiting to meet a new four-legged friend.(然而，每周六早上9点，你仍然会发现他在那里，包里装着零食，等着认识新的四条腿朋友)”与G选项中的“insisted it wasn’t necessary”形成转折，尽管他觉得礼物不必如此，他依然坚持每周前往，上下文逻辑连贯。 Passage 13 Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten. 1 Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently. 2 Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight. People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function. 3 Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear. Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side. 4 Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said. By the end of the day, volunteers had removed 713 kilograms of waste and reopened water channels. The stepwell can now once again collect water and serve the community. 5 It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.” A．These structures still help save water. B．The effort was about more than cleaning. C．Strangers became teammates within minutes. D．But the best designed systems require continued care. E．By the 1980s, it had stopped functioning as a water source. F．Yet on 31 January, volunteers came together to change that. G．Seeing a community unite to restore a place felt truly meaningful. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．C 4．G 5．B 【导语】古吉拉特邦一处五百年阶梯井曾遭荒废掩埋，民众自发组队开展清理修复工作。古井恢复蓄水功用，此次行动也凝聚人心，尽显古建筑蕴藏的智慧价值。 1．根据上文“Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten.(马马达巴德的瓦夫（一种古老的阶梯式水井）位于古吉拉特邦，已有 500 年的历史。它长期被忽视，被垃圾掩埋，被人遗忘)”可知，开篇提到古阶梯井长期被忽视、被垃圾掩埋遗忘，空后转入介绍阶梯井的历史，F选项“然而1月31日，志愿者聚集起来改变了这一状况”中that指代前文的荒废状况，直接引出事件，逻辑衔接自然。 2．根据上文“Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently.(这座水井建于 15 世纪末，曾是社区生活的重要组成部分。它能容纳近 20 万升的水，有助于补充地下水，并支撑着这片干旱地区的日常生活。其设计——石雕结构、深长的台阶以及亭子——既美观又实用。然而，随着时间的推移，这座水井的使用频率逐渐降低)”以及后文“Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight.(多年的废弃和泥沙堆积使这里变成了一个垃圾填埋场，却依然隐匿于众人视野之中)”可知，前文提到阶梯井原本功能完善，后来使用频率越来越低，后文提到多年的垃圾把它变成了垃圾填埋场，E选项“到20世纪80年代，它已经不再作为水源发挥作用”顺承时间线：使用减少→完全停用→垃圾堆积，符合逻辑。 3．根据上文“People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function.(人们每天都会路过这里，但很少有人停下来思考其下面究竟有什么。直到一群市民挺身而出，他们得到了德里希特基金会的支持，带着工具和明确的目标，决心将其恢复到原来的样子和功能)”以及后文“Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear.(一些人组成了人链来传递装满废物的桶，而另一些人则清理堵塞的排水通道。渐渐地，石雕和雕刻图案又开始重新显现出来)”可知，前文提到市民带着修复目标聚集到此，后文举例介绍不同人的分工劳动，C选项“陌生人很快就成了队友”衔接“民众聚集”和“分工劳动”，符合修复工作的开展顺序。 4．根据上文“Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side.(其中有一位名叫吉什努·梅塔的22岁学生，他表示这次经历令人深受鼓舞。“来自不同背景的人们并肩合作。”)”以及后文“Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said.(他说：“我们的重点在于将它们恢复为能够正常运行的水体。”)”可知，这是参与修复的学生Jishnu的感悟，前文提到“不同背景的人并肩劳动”，后文提到“我们的核心目标是把它恢复成可使用的水体”，G选项“看到整个社区团结起来修复一处地方，真的非常有意义”符合人物发言的逻辑，承接经历、抒发感悟。 5．根据后文“It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.”(它让人们团结在一起，并让他们意识到共享空间的重要性。正如迪内什所说：“修复而非重建。这些建筑依然承载着过去的智慧——并蕴含着未来的希望。”)”以及前文提到修复完成，阶梯井重新能蓄水服务社区，后文提到这项工作凝聚了民众，让人想起共享空间的价值，B选项“这项努力不止是清理垃圾”引出更深层的意义，完美衔接后文。 Passage 14 Everyone loves balloons, as they are often associated with a sense of ceremony. From birthdays to memorials, these colorful items remain popular. However, as their popularity grows, so does the concern for our planet. 1 . The biggest issue is that balloons are single-use plastics. Even those marketed as biodegradable (可降解的) often contain chemicals that prevent them from breaking down for years. Scientists have found that balloons are more likely to kill seabirds. 2 . These traps cause a slow death for animals by preventing them from eating properly. There is also a common misunderstanding that balloons simply disappear after flying away. In reality, their journey is far from over. 3 . For instance, a balloon launched in England was once found 10,000 miles away in Australia. Since their flight paths are uncontrollable, these balloons often end up on beaches or fields, remaining there for years. Beyond the problem of waste, the consumption of helium (氦气) in party balloons is being questioned. As a limited resource, Helium is essential for medical equipment, such as MRI scanners. 4 . Some scientists warn that using such a precious material for short-term fun is unwise and predict that future generations will find our current waste hard to believe. As awareness grows, many people are now calling for a complete ban on balloon releases. Nearly 100 UK local authorities have already made it illegal. To protect our environment, experts suggest choosing creative and sustainable alternatives. 5 . Perhaps it is time to find new ways to celebrate that truly make a positive difference. A．We can still mark special occasions with the same sense of joy. B．This is because their remaining pieces are often mistaken for food. C．We should reuse these plastic balloons for future party decorations. D．Once released, it escapes into the atmosphere and cannot be recovered. E．In many cases, these colorful objects break into small pieces and disappear. F．What is perceived as a beautiful release is actually a persistent threat to nature. G．Capable of traveling thousands of miles, they eventually land as waste in remote areas. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．G 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍气球虽常用于各类仪式，但会带来诸多环境问题，包括塑料污染、危害海洋生物、消耗稀有氦资源等，最后呼吁使用环保替代方式庆祝特殊时刻。 1．上文“However, as their popularity grows, so does the concern for our planet.(然而随着气球越来越受欢迎，人们对地球环境的担忧也在增加。)”引出气球带来的环境隐患，选项F“What is perceived as a beautiful release is actually a persistent threat to nature.(看似美好的放飞行为，实则对自然构成长期威胁。)”承接上文，点明气球的危害，开启下文对具体问题的介绍。 2．上文“Scientists have found that balloons are more likely to kill seabirds.(科学家发现气球更容易导致海鸟死亡。)”提出气球危害海鸟的现象，选项B“This is because their remaining pieces are often mistaken for food.(这是因为气球碎片常被误当成食物。)”解释该现象的原因。 3．上文“In reality, their journey is far from over.(事实上，气球的旅程远未结束。)”说明气球飞走后不会消失，选项G“Capable of traveling thousands of miles, they eventually land as waste in remote areas.(它们能飞行数千英里，最终以垃圾形式落在偏远地区。)”承接上文，符合后文“For instance, a balloon launched in England was once found 10,000 miles away in Australia.(例如，在英国发射的一个气球曾经在10000英里外的澳大利亚被发现。)”的例子，进一步说明气球的远距离污染问题。 4．上文“As a limited resource, Helium is essential for medical equipment, such as MRI scanners.(氦气是有限资源，对核磁共振扫描仪等医疗设备至关重要。)”介绍氦气的稀缺与重要性，选项D“Once released, it escapes into the atmosphere and cannot be recovered.(一旦释放，它会进入大气且无法回收。)”解释用氦气充气球的浪费所在。 5．上文“To protect our environment, experts suggest choosing creative and sustainable alternatives.(为保护环境，专家建议选择有创意且可持续的替代方式。)”提出改用其他环保方式替代，选项A“We can still mark special occasions with the same sense of joy.(我们依旧可以用同样的喜悦纪念特殊时刻。)”承接上文，说明替代方式同样能带来仪式感。 Passage 15 With winter drawing near, people may be turning their heat back on, increasing the risk of home fires. 1 Space heaters are responsible for almost 30% of these fires. An American Red Cross survey showed that more than half of us have used space heaters and the Red Cross urges families to take steps to heat their home safely. Every second counts when there’s a home fire. 2 First, test your smoke alarms each month and then practice your escape plan until everyone can get out in less than two minutes. To create your home fire escape plan, include at least two ways to exit every room in your home. Select a meeting spot at a safe distance away from your home, such as your neighbor’s home or landmark like a specific tree in your front yard. Discuss the plan with everyone in your household and practice it twice a year. 3 Place smoke alarms on each level of your home, including inside and outside bedrooms and sleeping areas. In addition to testing your smoke alarms once a month, change the batteries at least once a year if your model requires it. 4 If the alarms are 10 years or older, they need to be replaced because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 5 You can find an escape plan there to practice with your family. In addition, download the free Red Cross First Aid app so you’ll know what to do if emergency help is delayed. You are also advised to use the free Emergency app for weather alerts, which will help you know about open Red Cross shelter locations and safety steps for different emergencies. A．Stay safe by taking two simple steps. B．Educating families about fire safety matters. C．Visit redcross.org/ fire for related information. D．Check the production dates of your smoke alarms. E．Set up free smoke alarms in high-risk areas across the community. F．Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths. G．Teach children what a smoke alarm sounds like before practicing the plan. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．G 4．D 5．C 【导语】文章介绍冬季取暖易引发家庭火灾，讲解家庭防火逃生准备、烟雾报警器维护及相关安全求助渠道。 1．上文“With winter drawing near, people may be turning their heat back on, increasing the risk of home fires.(随着冬季临近，人们可能重新开启取暖设备，增加了家庭火灾的风险)”点明冬季取暖带来火灾隐患，下文“Space heaters are responsible for almost 30% of these fires.(取暖器引发了近三成的此类火灾)”具体说明取暖设备致灾情况。F选项“Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths.(取暖设备是造成家庭火灾死亡的主要原因之一)”承接上文取暖引发火灾的话题，衔接下文取暖器致灾的数据，上下文语意连贯。 2．上文“Every second counts when there’s a home fire.(发生家庭火灾时，每一秒都至关重要)”强调火灾逃生的紧迫性，下文“First, test your smoke alarms each month and then practice your escape plan until everyone can get out in less than two minutes.(首先，每月检测烟雾报警器，并演练逃生方案，确保所有人能在两分钟内撤离)”介绍具体的安全应对举措。A选项“Stay safe by taking two simple steps.(通过两个简单的步骤保障安全)”承上启下，引出下文的具体安全措施，逻辑通顺。 3．上文“Discuss the plan with everyone in your household and practice it twice a year.(和家中所有人讨论逃生方案，并每年演练两次)”讲述家庭火灾逃生方案的日常演练要求。G选项“Teach children what a smoke alarm sounds like before practicing the plan.(演练方案前，让孩子熟悉烟雾报警器的声音)”承接上文的逃生演练话题，补充具体的演练细节，使内容更完整连贯。 4．上文“In addition to testing your smoke alarms once a month, change the batteries at least once a year if your model requires it.(除每月检测烟雾报警器外，按需每年至少更换一次电池)”介绍烟雾报警器的日常维护，下文“If the alarms are 10 years or older, they need to be replaced because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time.(使用十年及以上的报警器需更换，因其传感器灵敏度会下降)”说明报警器更换的标准。D选项“Check the production dates of your smoke alarms.(检查烟雾报警器的生产日期)”衔接前后文，承接报警器维护话题，引出更换设备的依据，逻辑连贯。 5．下文“You can find an escape plan there to practice with your family.(你可以在那里找到逃生方案，和家人一起演练)”以及后文介绍两款红十字会免费应用程序，均是线上渠道获取安全资源的方式。C选项“Visit redcross.org/ fire for related information.(访问红十字会火灾相关网站获取信息)”引出下文的线上安全资源渠道，统领本段内容。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高考英语一轮复习（浙江专用） 七选五15篇 表格 篇目 文章核心主题 核心立意 Passage 1 语言暗示与心态塑造 日常消极抱怨会潜意识限制自我，多用积极语言重塑思维，掌控自身生活状态 Passage 2 杜绝盲目与人攀比 攀比夺走快乐、催生自我否定，且永无止境；学会欣赏他人成就，专注自身成长 Passage 3 酒店客房定价逻辑 客房价格随需求、时段、竞争浮动；给出旅客订房省钱实用技巧 Passage 4 艺术家兼教师的双向赋能 教学与艺术创作互不割裂，教学从表达、基础、创新三方面助力艺术创作 Passage 5 四大高效办公习惯 快速决策、及时沟通、适度求助、劳逸结合，四大习惯提升职场工作效率 Passage 6 音乐振动对植物生长的影响 植物可感知音乐振动，不同曲风促生长效果不同；理性看待实验结论，园艺可搭配音乐 Passage 7 打电话优于文字短信 通话传递情绪、减少误解；短信有适用场景，但深度情感沟通建议多打电话 Passage 8 信息时代的批判性思维 批判性思维是核心认知能力，可规避认知偏见、后天培养，是现代人必备技能 Passage 9 瑞典 Fredagsmys 周五居家松弛习俗 瑞典居家放松传统受气候催生，平衡工作生活、舒缓压力、维护心理健康 Passage 10 心理健康教育的四大价值 消除心理疾病污名、早筛预防心理问题、培养抗压韧性、促进身心整体健康 Passage 11 网红 “色彩漫步” 休闲方式 流行城市休闲活动，以颜色为线索散步，换视角重新发现熟悉城市的美好 Passage 12 公园倾听狗狗的退休图书管理员 Marcus 退休老人无偿帮助主人安抚训练宠物，传递童年收获的善意、温暖社区 Passage 13 印度古阶梯井民间修复行动 五百年古迹遭垃圾掩埋，志愿者自发清理修复；修复不止清洁，更凝聚社区、传承古人智慧 Passage 14 气球放飞的多重环境危害 一次性气球塑料污染、残害海洋生物、浪费稀有氦资源；倡导环保替代庆祝方式 Passage 15 冬季取暖居家防火安全指南 冬季取暖设备易引发火灾，讲解烟雾报警器维护、家庭逃生方案、红十字安全资源渠道 Passage 1 Listen to the way you talk about your own life on a daily basis. I am not talking about your formal presentations; I am talking about your casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself. 1 You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 2 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating (自嘲), and it does not know when you are just joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient (顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word that comes out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You keep complaining “I am completely stuck.” 3 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 4 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They never ask, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle linguistic anchor is not just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset. It shifts your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to be serious about what you say. 5 Stop using your own mouth to curse (诅咒) the beautiful life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree A．You have already put huge pressure on your friends B．Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality. C．In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. D．But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less. E．When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. F．Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. G．I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement. Passage 2 It is natural to compare ourselves with others and to get caught in a mental comparison cycle, yet this is seldom beneficial. You may have heard the expression, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” 1 Comparison not only robs us of joy, but it can also fuel self-criticism and a lack of self-acceptance. 2 “I am not as successful and competent as they are.” “Why don’t I have what they have?” We use comparison as a way of self-criticism, which prevents self-acceptance. Another issue with comparison is that it causes unrealistic expectations. When we compare ourselves to others, we often overlook the context of their journey. We see the success, but not the failures, sacrifices or struggles. 3 But in reality, no one’s life is without difficulties, and by focusing on someone else’s highlights, we’re ignoring the complexity of our own story. Comparison may secretly play tricks on us. If we meet expectations, lose weight, or get a promotion, we will feel better, calmer, and stop comparing ourselves. This may be temporarily true. 4 We can always find something else to compare, another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting, leaving us feeling worse once again. Let go of the idea that you need to compete with others. Life is not a race, and there is no finish line you must cross to prove your worth. Instead of comparing, try to celebrate others’ successes and use them as inspiration for your own journey. 5 Not just for yourself, but for those around you. A．Yet comparison is an endless process. B．Comparison lowers your sense of security. C．So what can we do to break free from comparison? D．Typically, it leads to perceiving others as superior to us. E．By doing so, you create an environment of positivity and growth. F．This makes it easy to assume that everyone else is living a perfect life. G．This rings true as comparing ourselves with others makes happiness hard to feel. Passage 3 Hotels do not price rooms in the same way a shop prices a lamp or a suitcase. 1 The same room in the same building can be worth very different amounts depending on the day, season, and local demand. A beachfront hotel in summer is operating differently from the same room during a quieter month. Even weekends and weekdays can produce different patterns, depending on the type of traveller the hotel attracts. Then what actually causes prices to move? Several factors shape hotel room rates, sometimes all at once. Demand is the obvious one. Booking window also matters. Some travelers book months in advance, while others leave it until the last minute. 2 If rooms are selling earlier than usual, rates may increase sooner. If there is unexpected availability closer to arrival, prices may be adjusted again. Competition plays a role too. 3 If similar nearby properties are filling up, or charging more, that affects how a hotel positions its own rates. Nowadays, many properties rely on hotel management software to make pricing more responsive. Rather than guessing or checking rates occasionally, these tools help hotels analyse booking trends, monitor market signals, and update pricing in line with real demand. 4 It means hotels are using better information to make better decisions. Instead of relying on instinct alone, they can react to changes in occupancy, pace, and market conditions more confidently. Understanding how hotel pricing works can make booking decisions feel less frustrating. Travelling outside peak periods, avoiding major local event dates, or booking earlier can all help. It also helps to compare dates rather than looking at one night in isolation (孤立状态). 5 A．Hotels do not operate in isolation. B．Hotels track these patterns closely. C．A room’s value depends heavily on timing. D．If a room goes unsold tonight, that money is gone for good. E．Hotels are under pressure to respond faster and more accurately. F．This does not mean prices are invented at random by a machine. G．A small shift in travel plans can sometimes lead to a much better rate. Passage 4 As an artist who also teaches, I never saw these two roles as separate. 1 I believed teaching would keep me close to art, but I didn’t expect how deeply it would reshape me — not just my time, but how I think, see, and create. Through teaching, I’ve become a more grounded and aware artist, and here’s how. First, teaching taught me to explain my work. When I started, I couldn’t just rely on intuition (直觉). I had to slow down and find words for why a piece works. This skill is invaluable, whether writing an artist statement or talking about my process. Teaching trained me to pay attention to what I was actually doing, not just what I thought I was doing. 2 Next, teaching keeps me connected to the basics. As I repeatedly teach principles like composition, colour, and contrast, I’m reminded how essential they remain. 3 When my own work feels off, I return to these foundations — not rigidly, but to check my structure and ensure I haven’t lost the thread. 4 Beginners often create without worrying about rules or reception. Observing this freedom encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, try new things, and avoid becoming too rigid in my methods. Teaching keeps my creativity fresh and prevents me from becoming overly precious with my work. In brief, teaching has become an inseparable part of my art practice. It has sharpened how l communicate, rooted me in fundamentals, and renewed my creative bravery. 5 Together, they have made me the artist I am today. A．These roles don’t just overlap; they fuel each other. B．Finally, my students, especially beginners, inspire courage. C．Advanced techniques are more attractive to professional artists. D．Instead, they feel like different parts of the same conversation. E．Therefore, I usually finish my teaching before I start to create art. F．The basics are often ignored, yet they are the true foundation of great art. G．And over time, that made me more confident in how I talk about my work. Passage 5 Working takes up a large part of our daily lives. We all want to make the most of our work time. 1 . Here are four simple habits to help you work more effectively in the office. Working takes up a large part of our daily lives. We all want to make the most of our work time. · 2 . Many people wait for the perfect choice before acting, which often leads to delay. It is better to make a choice fast and adjust later if needed. Remember that most decisions are not permanent; you can change your path as you learn more. Taking action is usually more important than waiting for certainty. ·Communicate clearly and early with your team. Being a good communicator helps you avoid many problems. 3 . Let your boss know immediately if timelines change; asking for a new deadline is better than missing the old one. Clear communication builds trust among co-workers and ensures everyone knows what to expect from you. ·Ask for help when the workload feels too heavy. Everyone feels stressed at times and it is normal to fall behind on certain tasks. 4 . Do not be afraid to request assistance from your team. Co-workers are often happy to help if you give them enough notice. ·Prioritize rest and maintain a healthy balance. 5 . Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Make sure to get enough sleep every night and take short breaks during the day to refresh your mind. Spend quality time with family and friends after work, and disconnect from emails and messages to recharge. By adding these simple habits to your daily routine, you can become more productive and feel more in control of your work. A．However, this is not always easy B．Make decisions quickly to keep moving forward C．Sometimes you need to hand over tasks to others D．If your project involves others, tell them your status soon E．Your mental and physical health directly influence your work output F．Proper work strategies can help you improve your productivity significantly G．Many people try to finish more work by working harder but end up being less efficient Passage 6 Plants don’t hear sound like humans do, but they can feel vibrations from sound and respond positively to certain types of music, according to a study published in Nature. The sound vibrations from music copy natural influences like wind or water. 1 They have taller stems (茎), larger flowers, and healthier leaves. Singing can also encourage healthy plants by adding CO₂. Chris Beardshaw, a gardening expert, conducted a greenhouse experiment comparing music types. He discovered that classical music slightly improved growth, while the music of rock and roll singer Cliff Richard led to plants dying. The loud, rhythmic energy of heavy metal proved most effective for flowering. 2 Overall, findings seem to demonstrate that plants prefer more rhythmic types, especially classical and heavy metal. According to the garden company Moana nursery, classical music seems to work wonders to keep the pores (气孔) on the outer skin of plants open longer. 3 Heavy metal appears to stimulate even greater growth. You can even find playlists on Spotify made just for your plants. However, understanding plants’ music taste can be tricky. It can depend on all sorts of variables like plant type, music style, and environmental factors. 4 The improvements in plant health observed during these studies could also be caused by better plant care and attentive behavior from caretakers. 5 Play Mozart’s light music as you tend to flowers, or put on Metallica’s energetic beats while planting vegetables. You might notice lusher (更茂盛的) growth, or maybe no change at all. But either way, at the very least, you’ll have a great soundtrack. A．In this way, they can take in more air. B．Plants may sense someone is watching them nearby. C．It was revealed that plants exposed to music grow faster. D．After all, unlike animals, plants’ sense of hearing is weak. E．Stricter controls are needed to link music and plant growth. F．A link between energetic music and plant health is suggested. G．Whether plants like music or not, adding it to your gardening. Passage 7 Benefits of Calling Friends and Family Lately, I’ve been texting more than calling, fearing calls are disturbing. 1 It reveals we overestimate the awkwardness of calls and underestimate how much closer they make us feel, compared to texts. Though texting is the norm, it may not offer the same interpersonal benefits or ease loneliness as effectively as phone conversations. 2 Our voices convey emotions in ways texts cannot, which is vital for connections. According to Evolution and Human Behavior, hearing a familiar voice reduces stress and stimulates oxytocin (催产素), the chemical that builds warmth and trust. Also, calling reduces misunderstandings. In one study, participants reported miscommunications in texts due to a lack of verbal clues, unclear emotional intention, and uncertainty about the sender’s attention. The simplicity of texts, along with acronyms (首字母缩写) and poor punctuation (标点), further complicates interpretation. Delayed text replies can create uncertainty about the sender’s feelings, while phone conversations provide immediate clarity through tone and real-time responses. 3 Yet, research in the Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy shows that using texts for serious discussions or apologies can lead to more conflict in future interactions. Only affectionate texts had a positive effect. However, none of the research is meant to imply that texting is always a poor choice for communicating. It remains useful across time zones, for those with speech or hearing challenges, or for quick, practical updates. It can also ease social anxiety. 4 And then there are some who are just not used to talking on the phone, particularly young people who’ve grown up in a texting culture. Still, they recognize that calling may be better with certain people. At least some parents are encouraging them to call. So, why not consider picking up a phone and making a call a little more often? 5 And your relationships might become even closer, too. A．Familiar voices avoid misunderstandings. B．Many choose texting to get time to weigh their words. C．Calling may feel too close or stressful for some people. D．Of course, texting really shines for someone used to texting. E．You may be surprised by how much better it feels to talk than to text. F．For those who prefer texting, calling can still strengthen social bonds. G．However, a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology made a finding. Passage 8 In an era of information explosion, many people tend to accept what they see or hear without thinking, while a few others are labeled as “contrarians (叛逆的人)” just because they question everything. This has become a common social phenomenon. 1 In fact, it is a core cognitive (认知的) ability. Questioning everything is the essence of critical thinking. 2 For example, when we are told a certain food is “extremely harmful”, critical thinking does not immediately deny it. Instead, it encourages us to ask: What is the source of this claim? Is there scientific evidence to support it? Are there any conflicting studies? It is not about being negative, but about seeking objective evidence. 3 Some people fall into the trap of cognitive biases without realizing it. They may refuse to accept new information that goes against their existing beliefs. These biases are so common that most people are unaware of their existence, and critical thinking is the key to recognizing and overcoming them. However, critical thinking is not an inborn talent as many people believe, but a skill that can be trained and improved through daily practice. 4 When having a discussion with others, listen to opposing views carefully instead of interrupting immediately. Every time we actively challenge our own thinking, we are polishing our critical thinking ability. With consistent practice, this ability will become an essential part of our thinking. In a world where misinformation spreads faster than ever, critical thinking is no longer a “bonus skill” for a few people. 5 It allows us to stand firm in the tide of information, and to live and think as an independent individual. A．We can start with small things. B．Cognitive ability also requires logical reasoning. C．It starts with the willingness to question assumptions. D．It is a necessary ability for everyone to survive and thrive. E．Critical thinking also requires us to avoid cognitive biases. F．This is why many people stick to wrong views unconsciously. G．Critical thinking is often undervalued in such a social context. Passage 9 While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out-one country is reserving the start of the weekend for relaxation. 1 Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home. It’s all about creating space for closeness and ease after a long and busy workweek. The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth. 2 Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over. Almost every Swede practices this at least once a month, showing their appreciation for balance in life. 3 Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos. This tradition prioritizes feeling good over social status and productivity, a sign of Sweden’s emphasis on balancing work and rest. Placing importance on productivity may lead to burnout. Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion. 4 At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health. Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge. 5 Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough! A．The term first appeared in a newspaper in 1994. B．Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction. C．In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm. D．Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home. E．Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress. F．Without noise or crowds, people tend to be more present with one another. G．Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa. Passage 10 Mental health education is increasingly vital in our fast-paced, complex world. 1 This education helps individuals recognize the importance of mental health in their lives. Let’s explore the reasons why mental health education is significant. One of the primary reasons why mental health education is essential is its role in reducing stigma (污名). 2 Educating the public about mental health can clarify what mental health conditions are really about, and emphasize that these are common and treatable. It can create a more accepting and supportive environment for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. 3 When individuals are educated about the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, they are more likely to recognize these signs in themselves or others early on so as to stop mental health conditions from worsening. This awareness often leads to more effective treatment and enhances overall well-being and quality of life. Mental health education is essential for building resilience. By learning about mental well-being, individuals gain valuable tools to handle stress and bounce back from adversities. They learn how to manage emotions, deal with anxiety, and cultivate a positive mindset. 4 When individuals understand how to care for their mental health, they are better equipped to maintain balance and well-being in their lives. Mental health education is crucial for improving overall health and well-being. It highlights the interconnection between mental and physical health. Mental health education also stresses the importance of seeking help and support when needed, promoting an integrated approach to health that includes mental, emotional, and physical aspects. 5 A．These skills are beneficial for personal development. B．Mental health education provides rich resources for society. C．This view is key to achieving a healthier, more balanced life. D．It helps individuals to deal with various mental health issues. E．It’s about developing a comprehensive awareness of mental well-being. F．Mental health education is critical for early detection and prevention. G．Mental health issues are often misunderstood, causing prejudice against sufferers. Passage 11 Chasing colors When you grow too familiar with the city you live in, it’s easy to overlook the scenery during your daily walks. But what if your next footstep came with a small twist — following a specific color as your guide? This idea, known as a “color walk”, has recently gained popularity on social media both in China and abroad. 1 As the trend spreads, many netizens have begun sharing photos online, while some cities have released color-walk guides for residents. 2 In Shenzhen, Guangdong province, for example, those searching for pink might find bougainvillea in Shenzhen International Garden and Flower Expo Park, or trumpet-shaped flowers along parks and roads. 3 But beyond the colors themselves, this simple activity may also lead to unexpected discoveries. 4 “After a whole day of color walking, the world felt brand new,” one netizen wrote on Sina Weibo. “Places I used to overlook suddenly seemed worth noticing — a yellow bicycle under a tree, or a yellow taxi parked behind a house.” 5 Sometimes, all it takes is a single color to turn an ordinary walk into a small act of rediscovery. A．Participants choose a single color and challenge themselves to spot objects, buildings, and scenery in that hue along the way. B．In Yichang, Hubei province, nearly 40,000 square meters of rapeseed blossoms form a bright yellow sea beneath the blue sky. C．Many find that this focused observation brings back a sense of freshness to familiar routes. D．This practice turns an ordinary walk into a more engaging and mindful experience. E．It encourages people to see their surroundings from a different angle. F．City governments are also using this trend to promote local tourism. G．The idea was first introduced by an artist in the United States. Passage 12 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Dog Listener Every Saturday morning, Oak Park becomes a lively gathering place for dog owners. But there’s one person who draws more attention than the dogs themselves. 1 . Marcus Chen, a retired librarian in his seventies, sits on the same bench by the fountain every weekend. He doesn’t own a dog, but he brings a small bag of homemade treats and waits quietly. 2 . When a nervous rescue dog refuses to move past the fountain, Marcus leans down and speaks softly. When a puppy jumps excitedly at every passerby, he demonstrates a calm hand signal. 3 . He says his reward is watching the “light bulb moments” — when a fearful dog finally wags its tail, or when a frustrated owner realizes their pet just needed patience. Sometimes it takes a whole morning to help just one dog. What people don’t know is that Marcus used to be afraid of dogs as a child. A neighborhood mailman took the time to introduce him gently to his four-legged companions. 4 . “That mailman probably never knew what he did for me,” Marcus says with a warm smile. “Now I just want to pass it on.” Last month, a group of dog owners surprised Marcus with a new bench — one with a small metal plate that reads, “Marcus’s Spot: For the Man Who Listens.” 5 . However, every Saturday at 9 a.m., you’ll still find him there, treats in his bag, waiting to meet a new four-legged friend. A．Marcus never charges a penny. B．He has two dogs of his own at home. C．He lets the dogs come to him on their own terms. D．While owners chase after their pets, he sits quietly. E．That small act of kindness changed his life decades ago. F．He once worked as a professional dog trainer for fifteen years. G．Marcus admits it’s “awfully comfortable” but insisted it wasn’t necessary. Passage 13 Mahmadabad Ki Vav, a 500-year-old stepwell in Gujarat, had long been neglected, buried under waste and forgotten. 1 Built in the late 15th century, this stepwell was once a vital part of community life. It held nearly 200,000 liters of water, helped recharge groundwater, and supported daily life in the dry region. Its design — carved stone, deep steps, and pavilions (亭) — was both beautiful and practical. Over time, however, the stepwell was used less frequently. 2 Years of waste and mud turned it into a landfill, hidden in plain sight. People passed by it every day, but few paused to wonder what lay beneath until a group of citizens chose to step forward. With support from Drishti Foundation, they came with tools and a clear goal to restore it to its original form and function. 3 Some formed human chains to pass buckets of waste, while others cleared blocked water channels. Slowly, the stonework and carvings began to reappear. Among them was Jishnu Mehta, a 22-year-old student, who said the experience was inspiring. “People from all backgrounds worked side by side. 4 Our focus was on restoring them as working water bodies,” he said. By the end of the day, volunteers had removed 713 kilograms of waste and reopened water channels. The stepwell can now once again collect water and serve the community. 5 It brought people together and reminded them of the value of shared spaces. As Dinesh put it, “Restoration, not replacement. These structures still hold the wisdom of the past — and the promise of the future.” A．These structures still help save water. B．The effort was about more than cleaning. C．Strangers became teammates within minutes. D．But the best designed systems require continued care. E．By the 1980s, it had stopped functioning as a water source. F．Yet on 31 January, volunteers came together to change that. G．Seeing a community unite to restore a place felt truly meaningful. Passage 14 Everyone loves balloons, as they are often associated with a sense of ceremony. From birthdays to memorials, these colorful items remain popular. However, as their popularity grows, so does the concern for our planet. 1 . The biggest issue is that balloons are single-use plastics. Even those marketed as biodegradable (可降解的) often contain chemicals that prevent them from breaking down for years. Scientists have found that balloons are more likely to kill seabirds. 2 . These traps cause a slow death for animals by preventing them from eating properly. There is also a common misunderstanding that balloons simply disappear after flying away. In reality, their journey is far from over. 3 . For instance, a balloon launched in England was once found 10,000 miles away in Australia. Since their flight paths are uncontrollable, these balloons often end up on beaches or fields, remaining there for years. Beyond the problem of waste, the consumption of helium (氦气) in party balloons is being questioned. As a limited resource, Helium is essential for medical equipment, such as MRI scanners. 4 . Some scientists warn that using such a precious material for short-term fun is unwise and predict that future generations will find our current waste hard to believe. As awareness grows, many people are now calling for a complete ban on balloon releases. Nearly 100 UK local authorities have already made it illegal. To protect our environment, experts suggest choosing creative and sustainable alternatives. 5 . Perhaps it is time to find new ways to celebrate that truly make a positive difference. A．We can still mark special occasions with the same sense of joy. B．This is because their remaining pieces are often mistaken for food. C．We should reuse these plastic balloons for future party decorations. D．Once released, it escapes into the atmosphere and cannot be recovered. E．In many cases, these colorful objects break into small pieces and disappear. F．What is perceived as a beautiful release is actually a persistent threat to nature. G．Capable of traveling thousands of miles, they eventually land as waste in remote areas. Passage 15 With winter drawing near, people may be turning their heat back on, increasing the risk of home fires. 1 Space heaters are responsible for almost 30% of these fires. An American Red Cross survey showed that more than half of us have used space heaters and the Red Cross urges families to take steps to heat their home safely. Every second counts when there’s a home fire. 2 First, test your smoke alarms each month and then practice your escape plan until everyone can get out in less than two minutes. To create your home fire escape plan, include at least two ways to exit every room in your home. Select a meeting spot at a safe distance away from your home, such as your neighbor’s home or landmark like a specific tree in your front yard. Discuss the plan with everyone in your household and practice it twice a year. 3 Place smoke alarms on each level of your home, including inside and outside bedrooms and sleeping areas. In addition to testing your smoke alarms once a month, change the batteries at least once a year if your model requires it. 4 If the alarms are 10 years or older, they need to be replaced because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. 5 You can find an escape plan there to practice with your family. In addition, download the free Red Cross First Aid app so you’ll know what to do if emergency help is delayed. You are also advised to use the free Emergency app for weather alerts, which will help you know about open Red Cross shelter locations and safety steps for different emergencies. A．Stay safe by taking two simple steps. B．Educating families about fire safety matters. C．Visit redcross.org/ fire for related information. D．Check the production dates of your smoke alarms. E．Set up free smoke alarms in high-risk areas across the community. F．Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths. G．Teach children what a smoke alarm sounds like before practicing the plan. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
