This groundbreaking policy has led to heated global discussion, making Australia a test case for solving one of today’s trickiest youth problems. The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, says the ban is a necessary response to a growing public health problem. Many studies link too much social media use among young people to higher rates of depression, self-harm, and addiction. Beyond that, the platforms’ design causes other risks like self-worth damaging. Albanese said, “Social media are doing social harm to our kids. We’ve reduced time on it. We want our kids to have a childhood.” However, experts raise serious concerns. Teens who are skilled in technology might use VPNs to avoid the ban, pushing them to less safe parts of the internet. Overly strict selection could also prevent them from using valuable learning resources and social connections, especially for marginalized (被边缘化的) youth or kids from other regions seeking real community. Social media companies like Meta and TikTok have blamed the policy, noting they already offer age-suitable safety features. Globally, other Western nations have taken different approaches. The EU uses rules to force tech companies to be more serious, while U.S. efforts aren’t worth mentioning — federal (联邦的) action is prevented by free speech debates, and states have different bans. As a medium-sized market, Australia’s policy results will offer important lessons for other countries. If the ban improves teens’ mental health without creating unlawful digital markets or separating weak groups, it could become a global model. If it fails, it will serve as a warning about the limits of government control in the borderless digital world. All eyes are on Australia to see how this brave experiment carries on. 1．Why did Australia introduce the social media ban for under-16s? A．To respond to the overuse of social media. B．To promote local social media platforms. C．To offer teens more online learning resources. D．To limit tech companies’ influence on Australia. 2．What is the experts’ attitude towards Australia’s ban? A．Positive. B．Unclear. C．Worried. D．Disappointed. 3．What may make Australia’s ban successful? A．Young people give up using the internet. B．Other countries copy the policy immediately. C．Tech companies stop updating social media platforms. D．Australia improve teens’ mental health without side effects. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Tell Differences of Social Media Rules B．Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban C．Australia’s Social Media Policy History D．Protect Youth from Today’s Social Media Passage 2 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) Every Wednesday, retiree Zhang Zhili travels an hour by bus to an education center, drawn by the pulsing rhythms of the African drum she plays there in a classroom filled with fellow retirees whose hands move together, every beat lifting her spirits. Many older Chinese are looking beyond traditional nursing homes, afraid of abandonment by their families and quality issues. That’s driving a boom in universities, home care services, and communities catering to older adults. Though some providers struggle to turn a profit, they persist because they see promise in the growing market. China has a rapidly aging population. Last year, about 297 million people were aged 60 or above, over one-fifth of the population. By 2035, this number is forecast to go beyond 400 million, or over 30% of all Chinese. That’s fueling growth in services and products aimed at older adults in what Beijing calls the silver economy, which is expected to grow from about 7 trillion yuan (about $982 billion) currently to approximately 30 trillion yuan (about $4.2 trillion) in 2035, raising its share in the economy from about 6% to roughly 10%, Hu Zuquan, a researcher at the State Information Center, a public institution linked to with China’s main planning agency, told state media. The government is expanding basic care services to all elderly people in need, moving beyond its traditional focus on those without family support. Various companies are looking to grab a slice of this government-backed market. Property developers like Vanke Co. and Sino-Ocean Group and insurance companies such as Taikang Insurance Group have built high-end communities for older adults with amenities such as movie-screening and mahjong rooms and dining services. Still, questions remain about the spending power of many older Chinese. China’s silver economy is still in its early stage, said Gary Ng, a senior economist at Natixis Corporate and Investment Banking. “There are prospects here, but it seems there’s still much that needs to be done,” he said. 1．What can be inferred about Zhang Zhili from the first paragraph? A．She seeks joy and socializes with others. B．She learns a new skill and prepares for future employment. C．She struggles with loneliness and relies on her family for support. D．She prioritizes exercise and improves her physical health. 2．What is the main reason for the rise of the silver economy? A．China’s rapidly aging population creating market demand. B．Technological advancements in elderly care products. C．Government restrictions on traditional nursing homes. D．A cultural shift toward valuing individualism over family care. 3．What did Gary Ng think about China’s silver economy? A．It has already reached maturity and requires no further investment. B．It faces challenges with rural gaps and unstable profits. C．It targets urban wealthy and ignores ordinary seniors. D．It shows potential but significant efforts remain necessary. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．The Challenges of Silver Economy in China B．The Reason for Silver Economy in Chinese Society C．The Impact of the Silver Economy in China D．The Rise of the Silver Economy in China · 应用文 Passage 1 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) It’s necessary that the heads of schools recognize the role after-school activities can play. Enlarging your school’s clubs is worth the effort. Here are four amazing clubs that offer something a little different. Karaoke Club   For two hours each Friday, educator Jonathan Hamer’s classroom changes to Karaoke Club. It started with a simple Bluetooth speaker, microphone, and laptop but now has developed into an interactive (互动式的) concert experience with well-equipped facilities, where students sing their favorites by themselves or with friends, showing their feelings, or simply enjoy the electric atmosphere. Chicken Coop Club     A free schoolyard corner is enough for a chicken club. The first part is teaching students facts about chickens, from an egg to chicken nutrition and incubation (孵化) periods. Then the students head out to visit chickens and feed them in person. Droppings are gathered for plants, and the school’s kitchen makes use of the eggs. Smoothie Club   Students are divided into two groups. One group works on creating a recipe (配方). They decide which fruits to use, what liquids to add, and whether to include sweeteners. The other group listens and records the ingredients (成分) to create a recipe card to be broadcast the following week, sharing their recipe with the rest of the school. Nail Art Club     A nail art club gives students the opportunity to experiment with different colors and styles, which is a perfect way to have fun without hurting their natural nails. Some weeks have a theme while others are more open so that students can freestyle. Nail art allows the kids to express themselves in a less traditional way. 1．Which after-school activity requires group participation? A．Karaoke Club. B．Chicken Coop Club. C．Smoothie Club. D．Nail Art Club. 2．What do Karaoke Club and Nail Art Club have in common? A．They require teachers’ help. B．They focus on individual work. C．They develop professional skills. D．They serve as a form of self-expression. 3．Who is the passage intended for? A．Students. B．Parents. C．School leaders. D．Club organizers. Passage 2 （2025-2026学年江苏省海门中学高一上学期期中） Summer presents a collection of festivals that combine fun, charity, and awareness. Here are four special celebrations happening in June: National Go Barefoot Day (June 1) Established after the 2004 tsunami, this day promotes barefoot walking for health benefits like stronger muscles while supporting Soles4Souls, a non-profit that has provided 19 million shoes globally. You can join barefoot activities or organize shoe collections. By simply taking off your shoes, you can improve your own health while helping children get the shoes they need.

This day honors the ocean’s irreplaceable roles while inspiring worldwide participation. People can get involved by cleaning beaches, reducing single-use plastics, and watching educational films — turning awareness into action for a healthier planet. Be a Kid Again Day (June 12) This lighthearted day encourages adults to relive childhood joys — whether sliding down playground slides, building sandcastles, or rewatching classic kids’ movies. Beyond personal enjoyment, the celebration also supports meaningful causes like A Kid Again, a US non-profit organization that provides fun-filled adventures for children with life-threatening illnesses. Helen Keller Day (June 27) Held every year on June 27, this day honors Helen Keller (1880-1968) who became the first person with her disabilities to earn a college degree and wrote 12 books. While celebrating her amazing life, the day also recognizes all those who support the blind and deaf community through events like charity fashion shows and public readings of Keller’s inspirational works. 1．Which festival combines physical health with caring for children?

One day a psychologist (心理学家) called Johnnie into his office and said, “Johnnie. I’ve gone over your various tests. I’ve made a very careful study of you and your achievements.” “I’ve been trying hard,” put in Johnnie. “That’s just the trouble,” said the psychologist. “You have worked very hard, but it doesn’t do the trick. You just don’t seem to be able to get ahead in your studies. For you to remain in high school would be a waste of time.” Johnnie buried his face in his hands. The psychologist laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “People have different kinds of talents, Johnnie,” he said. “Some day you will find what your special gift is.” Johnnie never went back to school. He managed to mow the lawns (修整草坪) and grow flowers in the neighborhood. One day Johnnie noticed a piece of unused land behind the city hall. An official happened to be there at that moment. So Johnnie said “I can make a garden out of this land, if you’ll let me.” “The town’s got no money for it,” said the official. “I don’t want any money for it,” said Johnnie. “I just want to do it.” The official was astonished and gave him the authority. Before long the land became a little park. There were grassy lawns and little curving walks and restful seats and little houses for birds. All the people were talking about what a lovely improvement the young man had made. It was also a kind of show window for Johnnie. People saw his skill and knew him as a gardener. That was twenty-five years ago. Today Johnnie is the head of a business in gardening. His aging parents are proud of Johnnie, for he is not only a success, he has also made his part of the world a lovely place to live in. 1．What can we know about Johnnie from the psychologist’s words?

Passage 2 （2025-2026学年高一天津六校联考） When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside and asked me to be a narrator (叙述者). I felt disappointed and didn't tell my mother. However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass. My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds (杂草),” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added. Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator's part is as important as the part of a princess.” Over the next few weeks, with her encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear. Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into cheers. After the play, Mom gently pressed dandelion into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket. 1．What problem did the author have? A．She was not interested in her role. B．She failed to satisfy her teacher. C．She was unwilling to practise lines. D．She was anxious about performing on stage. 2．How did the author’s mother help her deal with her disappointment? A．By practicing lines with her. B．By suggesting her quitting the play. C．By talking about flowers in the garden. D．By communicating with the teacher in person. 3．What lesson did the author learn from her mother about role shift? A．Not everyone can be successful. B．Praise is needed in one’s growth. C．Every individual has their unique value. D．Roses look more beautiful against weeds. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The gift of Mom.

Passage 3 （2025-2026学年河北定州中学高一下学期期末考试英语试卷） I first fell in love with acupuncture (针灸) when I realized that it could be a cure for a migraine, a very bad headache that often makes you unable to bear strong light. Before I discovered acupuncture, I tried everything for migraines. Eventually, my battle with migraines started to affect my studies and my relationships with my husband and friends. I couldn’t focus or get my work done. Nothing worked permanently. That was when I decided to give acupuncture a shot. It took a few acupuncture sessions for me to start to notice gradual differences. In time, after following my treatment plan strictly, I went from having migraines more than half the days out of the month to just one or two migraines a month. I noticed I was having improvement with other symptoms as well. As I started to see improvement in my own health, I realized there was so much more to this approach to health and curing than just acupuncture. I started to learn about the Chinese Medicine ideas behind the acupuncture treatments and became attracted to the idea of Qi, or energy, and how it is affected by the seasons, diet, and more. It was my own health journey that eventually led me to my pursuit of my master’s degree in Chinese Medicine in 2014. When my patients come in for their first consultation, many are not aware of all of the potential benefits available to them beyond a simple acupuncture treatment. As a practitioner (执业者) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is my job to listen, determine the range of the problem, educate and create a treatment plan for my patients. What I love about my career is that I have the opportunity to share a number of treatment options including acupuncture, cupping, and dietary recommendations, as well as little at-home tips that make a world of difference. 1．Why did the author try acupuncture? A．Her quality of life declined. B．Her husband and friends advised her to try it. C．She was unable to bear bright light. D．She had known its benefits before migraines. 2．What do we know about the acupuncture treatment? A．It erased the author’s migraines. B．It involved complex treatment plans. C．It worked gradually but effectively. D．It was closely based on the idea of Qi. 3．What did acupuncture bring to the author? A．A higher academic degree. B．A firm decision to study medicine. C．A reputation for treating migraines. D．An interest in Chinese medicine. 4．Which of the following best describes the author as a TCM practitioner? A．Caring but cautious. B．Attentive and considerate. C．Strict but encouraging. D．Knowledgeable and experienced. Passage 4 （2025-2026学年江西省抚州市多校联考高一年级下学期5月质量检测英语试题） I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 1．Why did the author want to get home quickly? A．She hated waiting in line. B．She was eager to meet her grandson. C．She was tired after work. D．She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class. 2．What made the old man choose to put the cookies back? A．His own preference. B．The cashier’s advice. C．The cookies’ high price. D．Lack of money. 3．How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies? A．Shocked and upset. B．Amazed and moved. C．Doubtful and embarrassed.

In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting (收获) vegetables for the weekend’s farmers market. Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she’s taken those healthy behaviours home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables. City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged (使参与) and improve academic performance. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow. For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their views on where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation (评价) conducted by PEER Associates. 1．What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity？ A．It is a good way to earn pocket money. B．It has improved her family relationship. C．It contributes to her healthy eating habit. D．It is helpful to her academic performance. 2．What is the purpose of the school gardens？ A．To invite students to care for plants. B．To advance teachers’ teaching skills. C．To get students interested in science. D．To provide a creative way of learning. 3．What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms？ A．Its evaluations. B．Its effects. C．Its operations. D．Its expectations. 4．What can be a suitable title for the passage？ A．City Blossoms: Team up with Local Community Teachers B．Happy Holiday, Sweet Memory: How Kids Enjoy the Harvest C．Outdoor Classrooms: Get out for the Weekend’s Farmers Market D．Healthy Eaters, Smart Minds: What School Gardens Teach Kids Passage 2 （22025-2026学年度浙江杭州市第二学期高一年级期末教学质量检测） To many teens, nothing sounds worse than hanging out with their parents. But what if family bonds during adolescence (青春期) meant a better social life down the line? A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that a close, supportive relationship with parents during middle and high school was associated with a variety of positive social indicators up to two decades later. Historically, social development research has relied on participants recalling their childhoods, a method which is subject to the limitations of memory. Instead, Dr. Robert C． Whitaker, an author of the new study and a professor of Columbia University, decided to take the traditional approach upside down. He and his colleagues used data following a nationally representative sample of teens from as early as seventh grade into their 30s and 40s. In their early years, the participants rated how much their family members understood them, how much fun they had together, and whether they felt cared for and wanted, among other indicators. Dr. Whitaker and his colleagues averaged each of the 7,018 participants’ various answers into individual “family connection scores”, then divided the participants into quartiles (四分位数). When the adolescents became adults, they were asked about the structure, function and quality of various social connections. Dr. Whitaker’s team found that adolescents in the highest group of family connection scores had a prevalence of high social connection in adulthood that was 23.4 percentage points greater than that of those in the lowest group. Only 16.1 percent of adolescents in the lowest group of family connection ended up with high social connection in adulthood. While the research did not examine the mechanisms at play, experts believe that parents who set a healthy relational tone were modeling skills and habits that their children could adopt and apply later on. The authors wrote that pediatricians (儿科医生) could help by supporting parents who did not grow up with such relationships. By helping parents feel safe and seen even during uncertain times, they concluded, the parents could in turn offer that stability to their children. 1．What has the research revealed? A．Family ties in teens shape socialization. B．Parent-child bonds emerge in adulthood. C．Parent care matters most in adolescence. D．Teenagers tend to resist parental company. 2．What can we learn about the research method adopted? A．It groups the participants by age. B．It takes a developmental perspective. C．It can be affected by memory faults. D．It involves a limited range of subjects. 3．What does the underlined word “prevalence” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Contradiction. B．Downside. C．Proportion. D．Contribution. 4．What do the authors of the study suggest pediatricians do? A．Explore the relational mechanisms. B．Correct parents’ relational perception. C．Model teens’ socialization on parents. D．Enhance parents’ security and visibility. Passage 3 （2025-2026学年浙江衢州市高一下学期6月期末英语） Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 1．What is the nine-minute program designed for? A．Helping students get better at focusing. B．Training students’ physical strength. C．Making students more active in sports. D．Assisting students to relax after class. 2．What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A．They only did high-intensity exercise. B．They wore equipment to record brain activity. C．They did tests before doing any activity. D．They watched videos for a long time. 3．What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A．It made students better at math. B．It reduced students’ tiredness. C．It improved students’ language tests. D．It made students’ brains slower. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B．High-Intensity Break Exercises: A way to Improve Math C．Short Breaks: A Solution to Building health D．High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus Passage 4 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) Many high school students want to join sports teams, sometimes just to be popular or make more friends. But beyond these simple reasons, sports offer countless valuable benefits that teens might not notice — and parents will surely appreciate. In today’s world, teens often focus too much on TVs, computers, or video games, choosing to be alone instead of hanging out with peers. Unlike the old days when kids went to the mall or drove around town, now they spend most of their time at home. Sports give teens a perfect chance to go out, socialize, and learn teamwork. Even if they don’t find a lifelong friend, the ability to communicate and work with others will be extremely useful for their future lives. Obesity (肥胖) is a growing problem among young people, not just adults. Joining a team sport helps teens get regular exercise without the pressure of “losing weight” or “getting into shape.” What’s more, if they notice their physical condition is holding them back in games, they may feel encouraged to do extra activities to stay healthy. Sports also help parents show love and support to their teens. Showing up at their games, helping them practice, and joining teams to raise money are great ways to spend quality time together and communicate better. If your teen worries about not being “good enough” for the school team, don’t worry — there are plenty of other options. The community “for-fun” leagues (联赛), or even less common sports like bowling (保龄球) are all great choices. With a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen enjoys. In short, team sports let teens get out of the house, stay active, make friends, and even open doors to college scholarships. So why not encourage your teen to give sports a try today? 1．What can teens benefit from sports from Paragraph 2? A．They can become more popular at school. B．They can improve themselves from teamwork. C．They can go shopping with friends in the town. D．They can spend more time playing games at home. 2．Which of the following shows parents’ support to their teens? A．Appearing at their games. B．Driving away their worries. C．Helping them finish homework. D．Offering them sports equipment. 3．Why is bowling mentioned in Paragraph 5? A．Teens know little about it. B．Teens have many choices. C．Bowling is a difficult sport. D．Bowling is popular among teens. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain how teens can make more friends. B．To list the most popular team sports for teens. C．To show parents how to help teens lose weight. D．To encourage parents to let teens join sports teams. · 议论文 Passage 1 （2025-2026学年江苏省海安高级中学高一上学期期中考试） How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal to calculating your household bills. But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students, and girls are particularly vulnerable. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teenagers feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear difficult classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about under-performing.” And once we suppose we’re not a “maths person”, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 1．What does the author think of “maths anxiety”? A．It doesn’t mean poor ability. B．It affects almost everyone from birth. C．It naturally disappears with age. D．It only troubles school children. 2．What does “there’s no room for bluffing” mean about maths problems? A．They require creative thinking. B．They can be understood differently. C．They demand exact answers. D．They include many maths steps. 3．How do psychologists advise reducing maths anxiety? A．Ignore it and move on to harder problems. B．Adjust exams to lower stress for students. C．Voice your worries and try again. D．Replace daily maths with puzzle games. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Do We Learn Maths Effectively? B．Is Maths Worth Learning? C．Are Boys Better at Maths than Girls? D．Should We Fear Maths? Passage 2 （2025-2026学年江苏镇江市第二学期高一期末） The Value of Patience Patience is a virtue that is often overlooked in today’s fast-paced world. Many people want instant results, but success usually comes to those who are willing to wait and work hard. A famous story tells of a young man who asked a wise man for the secret to success. The wise man said, “Patience. Plant a seed and water it every day. Do not dig it up to see if it is growing.” The young man followed the advice. Years later, he had a beautiful garden. In our daily lives, patience helps us deal with difficulties. When we face a dilemma, acting impatiently often leads to bad decisions. Taking time to think can make a big difference. Moreover, patience is important in relationships. Listening to others without interrupting shows respect and builds trust. However, being patient does not mean being passive. It means staying calm while continuing to work toward your goal. As the saying goes, “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” So next time you feel like giving up, remember that good things come to those who wait. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Patience means doing nothing. B．Patience is important for success and relationships. C．The wise man gave bad advice. D．Success comes instantly. 2．Why did the wise man tell the young man not to dig up the seed? A．Because digging would destroy the seed. B．Because he wanted to test the young man’s patience. C．Because the seed would grow faster underground. D．Because the young man was too lazy. 3．According to the passage, what happens when people act impatiently in a dilemma? A．They make better decisions. B．They often make bad decisions. C．They become more creative. D．They ask for help. 4．What does the author mean by “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting”? A．Waiting is useless. B．A positive attitude matters more than just waiting. C．Only waiting can solve problems. D．Patience is a sign of weakness. Passage 3 （2025-2026学年山东潍坊安丘市高一下学期期中） Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive recognition and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was heart-broken,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.” Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia. Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also increase unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to be as good as others,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with other people, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives. Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. She said, “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!” 1．How did Hailey Magee feel when she got an A-minus? A．Satisfied. B．Excited. C．Disappointed. D．Uninterested. 2．Perfectionism may result in the following problems EXCEPT _________. A．negative feelings B．high work efficiency C．increased stress levels D．physical problems 3．What does the underlined phrase “a sense of competitiveness” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．A strong wish to be better than others. B．A great pressure to get perfect grades. C．A feeling of being judged on social media. D．A belief that top schools are the most important. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Parental Pressure: The Root of All Student Anxiety B．Hailey Magee’s Story: From Straight A’s to Failure C．The Role of Social Media in Creating Feelings of Imperfection D．The Dangers of Perfectionism and the Road to Self-Acceptance Passage 4 （2025-2026学年广东东莞市第六高级中学第一学期高一英语） Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children’s sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.     Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don’t want her to form the perception (看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have. Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford. Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely. Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money. 1．What do you know about Ashish Khanna? A．He helps his child develop better without money. B．He will buy what he thinks his child really needs. C．He can have much control of his child by money. D．He was given too much pocket money when young. 2．Who would give his child pocket money every month? A．Ashish Khanna. B．Sharad Sanghi. C．Rakesh Shah. D．Rajiv Patel. 3．According to Vikram Desai, what do children learn from earning pocket money? A．Money is not easy to get. B．Money can be got from trees. C．Money is not so important to people. D．One can get lots of money if he/ she works hard. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．No pocket money for children. B．Pocket money teaches money management. C．Five fathers hold different views on pocket money. D．Pocket money may lead children to value money too much.

This groundbreaking policy has led to heated global discussion, making Australia a test case for solving one of today’s trickiest youth problems. The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, says the ban is a necessary response to a growing public health problem. Many studies link too much social media use among young people to higher rates of depression, self-harm, and addiction. Beyond that, the platforms’ design causes other risks like self-worth damaging. Albanese said, “Social media are doing social harm to our kids. We’ve reduced time on it. We want our kids to have a childhood.” However, experts raise serious concerns. Teens who are skilled in technology might use VPNs to avoid the ban, pushing them to less safe parts of the internet. Overly strict selection could also prevent them from using valuable learning resources and social connections, especially for marginalized (被边缘化的) youth or kids from other regions seeking real community. Social media companies like Meta and TikTok have blamed the policy, noting they already offer age-suitable safety features. Globally, other Western nations have taken different approaches. The EU uses rules to force tech companies to be more serious, while U.S. efforts aren’t worth mentioning — federal (联邦的) action is prevented by free speech debates, and states have different bans. As a medium-sized market, Australia’s policy results will offer important lessons for other countries. If the ban improves teens’ mental health without creating unlawful digital markets or separating weak groups, it could become a global model. If it fails, it will serve as a warning about the limits of government control in the borderless digital world. All eyes are on Australia to see how this brave experiment carries on. 1．Why did Australia introduce the social media ban for under-16s? A．To respond to the overuse of social media. B．To promote local social media platforms. C．To offer teens more online learning resources. D．To limit tech companies’ influence on Australia. 2．What is the experts’ attitude towards Australia’s ban? A．Positive. B．Unclear. C．Worried. D．Disappointed. 3．What may make Australia’s ban successful? A．Young people give up using the internet. B．Other countries copy the policy immediately. C．Tech companies stop updating social media platforms. D．Australia improve teens’ mental health without side effects. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Tell Differences of Social Media Rules B．Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban C．Australia’s Social Media Policy History D．Protect Youth from Today’s Social Media 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章主要介绍澳大利亚出台政策禁止16岁以下青少年使用社交媒体，阐述政策出台缘由、专家担忧、各国不同管控方式，以及该政策试行结果带来的参考意义。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据原文第二段“The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, says the ban is a necessary response to a growing public health problem.(由Anthony Albanese总理领导的澳大利亚政府表示，这项禁令是应对日益严峻的公共健康问题的必要举措。)”及“Albanese said, “Social media are doing social harm to our kids. We’ve reduced time on it. We want our kids to have a childhood.”(Albanes称：“社交媒体正对孩子造成社会伤害。我们减少了孩子的上网时长，想让他们拥有真正的童年。”)”可知，出台禁令是为应对青少年过度使用社交媒体带来的问题。 2．推理判断题。根据原文第三段“However, experts raise serious concerns.(然而，专家们对此提出了诸多担忧。)”可知，专家对这项禁令持担忧的态度。 3．细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“If the ban improves teens’ mental health without creating unlawful digital markets or separating weak groups, it could become a global model.(如果该禁令能够改善青少年的心理健康，且不会催生非法数字市场、不会孤立弱势群体，它就有望成为全球典范。)”可知，无副作用地改善青少年心理健康能够让禁令取得成效。 4．主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“In December 2025, Australia will make history as the first country to ban children under 16 from using social media platforms (平台) like Meta, X, and TikTok.(2025年12月，澳大利亚将创下历史，成为首个禁止16岁以下儿童使用脸书、推特、抖音等社交媒体平台的国家。)”及全文内容可知，全文围绕澳大利亚针对16岁以下人群的社交媒体禁令展开论述，介绍背景、争议与影响，可知文章最佳标题为：澳大利亚16岁以下人群社交媒体禁令。 Passage 2 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) Every Wednesday, retiree Zhang Zhili travels an hour by bus to an education center, drawn by the pulsing rhythms of the African drum she plays there in a classroom filled with fellow retirees whose hands move together, every beat lifting her spirits. Many older Chinese are looking beyond traditional nursing homes, afraid of abandonment by their families and quality issues. That’s driving a boom in universities, home care services, and communities catering to older adults. Though some providers struggle to turn a profit, they persist because they see promise in the growing market. China has a rapidly aging population. Last year, about 297 million people were aged 60 or above, over one-fifth of the population. By 2035, this number is forecast to go beyond 400 million, or over 30% of all Chinese. That’s fueling growth in services and products aimed at older adults in what Beijing calls the silver economy, which is expected to grow from about 7 trillion yuan (about $982 billion) currently to approximately 30 trillion yuan (about $4.2 trillion) in 2035, raising its share in the economy from about 6% to roughly 10%, Hu Zuquan, a researcher at the State Information Center, a public institution linked to with China’s main planning agency, told state media. The government is expanding basic care services to all elderly people in need, moving beyond its traditional focus on those without family support. Various companies are looking to grab a slice of this government-backed market. Property developers like Vanke Co. and Sino-Ocean Group and insurance companies such as Taikang Insurance Group have built high-end communities for older adults with amenities such as movie-screening and mahjong rooms and dining services. Still, questions remain about the spending power of many older Chinese. China’s silver economy is still in its early stage, said Gary Ng, a senior economist at Natixis Corporate and Investment Banking. “There are prospects here, but it seems there’s still much that needs to be done,” he said. 1．What can be inferred about Zhang Zhili from the first paragraph? A．She seeks joy and socializes with others. B．She learns a new skill and prepares for future employment. C．She struggles with loneliness and relies on her family for support. D．She prioritizes exercise and improves her physical health. 2．What is the main reason for the rise of the silver economy? A．China’s rapidly aging population creating market demand. B．Technological advancements in elderly care products. C．Government restrictions on traditional nursing homes. D．A cultural shift toward valuing individualism over family care. 3．What did Gary Ng think about China’s silver economy? A．It has already reached maturity and requires no further investment. B．It faces challenges with rural gaps and unstable profits. C．It targets urban wealthy and ignores ordinary seniors. D．It shows potential but significant efforts remain necessary. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．The Challenges of Silver Economy in China B．The Reason for Silver Economy in Chinese Society C．The Impact of the Silver Economy in China D．The Rise of the Silver Economy in China 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了中国“银发经济”（老龄经济）的兴起、现状及发展前景。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Every Wednesday, retiree Zhang Zhili travels an hour by bus to an education center, drawn by the pulsing rhythms of the African drum she plays there in a classroom filled with fellow retirees whose hands move together, every beat lifting her spirits.(每周三，退休人员Zhang Zhili都会乘坐一个小时的公交车前往一个教育中心，她在那里的教室里，被非洲鼓的脉动节奏所吸引，教室里坐满了退休人员，他们的手一起舞动，每一个节拍都让她精神振奋)”可知，她寻求快乐，与他人交往。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“China has a rapidly aging population. Last year, about 297 million people were aged 60 or above, over one-fifth of the population. By 2035, this number is forecast to go beyond 400 million, or over 30% of all Chinese.(中国的人口正在迅速老龄化。去年，约有2.97亿人年龄在60岁或以上，占人口的五分之一以上。到2035年，这一数字预计将超过4亿，占中国总人口的30%以上)”和第四段“That’s fueling growth in services and products aimed at older adults in what Beijing calls the silver economy(这推动了面向老年人的服务和产品的增长，也就是中国政府所说的“银发经济”)”可知，银发经济崛起的主要原因是中国迅速老龄化的人口创造了市场需求。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“China’s silver economy is still in its early stage, said Gary Ng, a senior economist at Natixis Corporate and Investment Banking. “There are prospects here, but it seems there’s still much that needs to be done,” he said.(法国东方汇理银行高级经济师Gary Ng表示：“中国的‘银发经济’仍处于起步阶段。他指出：‘（这一领域）前景广阔，但目前看来，仍有许多工作亟待推进。’”)”可知，Gary Ng认为中国的银发经济显示出潜力，但仍需作出重大努力。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“That’s fueling growth in services and products aimed at older adults in what Beijing calls the silver economy, which is expected to grow from about 7 trillion yuan (about $982 billion) currently to approximately 30 trillion yuan (about $4.2 trillion) in 2035, raising its share in the economy from about 6% to roughly 10%, Hu Zuquan, a researcher at the State Information Center, a public institution linked to with China’s main planning agency, told state media. The government is expanding basic care services to all elderly people in need, moving beyond its traditional focus on those without family support.(与中国主要规划机构有关联的公共机构国家信息中心（State Information Center）研究员胡祖全对官方媒体说，这推动了面向老年人的服务和产品的增长，也就是中国政府所说的“银发经济”。预计到2035年，银发经济将从目前的人民币约7万亿元（约合9,820亿美元）增长到人民币约30万亿元（约合4.2万亿美元），在中国经济中的比重将从6%左右提高到10%左右。政府正在将基本护理服务扩大到所有有需要的老年人，而不是传统上关注那些没有家庭支持的老年人)”可知，本文主要讲述了中国“银发经济”（老龄经济）的兴起、现状及发展前景，因此最好的题目是D选项“The Rise of the Silver Economy in China(中国银发经济的崛起)”。故选D。 · 应用文 Passage 1 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) It’s necessary that the heads of schools recognize the role after-school activities can play. Enlarging your school’s clubs is worth the effort. Here are four amazing clubs that offer something a little different. Karaoke Club   For two hours each Friday, educator Jonathan Hamer’s classroom changes to Karaoke Club. It started with a simple Bluetooth speaker, microphone, and laptop but now has developed into an interactive (互动式的) concert experience with well-equipped facilities, where students sing their favorites by themselves or with friends, showing their feelings, or simply enjoy the electric atmosphere. Chicken Coop Club     A free schoolyard corner is enough for a chicken club. The first part is teaching students facts about chickens, from an egg to chicken nutrition and incubation (孵化) periods. Then the students head out to visit chickens and feed them in person. Droppings are gathered for plants, and the school’s kitchen makes use of the eggs. Smoothie Club   Students are divided into two groups. One group works on creating a recipe (配方). They decide which fruits to use, what liquids to add, and whether to include sweeteners. The other group listens and records the ingredients (成分) to create a recipe card to be broadcast the following week, sharing their recipe with the rest of the school. Nail Art Club     A nail art club gives students the opportunity to experiment with different colors and styles, which is a perfect way to have fun without hurting their natural nails. Some weeks have a theme while others are more open so that students can freestyle. Nail art allows the kids to express themselves in a less traditional way. 1．Which after-school activity requires group participation? A．Karaoke Club. B．Chicken Coop Club. C．Smoothie Club. D．Nail Art Club. 2．What do Karaoke Club and Nail Art Club have in common? A．They require teachers’ help. B．They focus on individual work. C．They develop professional skills. D．They serve as a form of self-expression. 3．Who is the passage intended for? A．Students. B．Parents. C．School leaders. D．Club organizers. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 【导语】主要介绍四类特色校园课外社团活动，阐述各社团活动形式、开展内容与具备的育人作用。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据Smoothie Club部分中的“Students are divided into two groups. One group works on creating a recipe (配方). They decide which fruits to use, what liquids to add, and whether to include sweeteners. The other group listens and records the ingredients (成分) to create a recipe card to be broadcast the following week, sharing their recipe with the rest of the school. (学生被分成两组。一组负责研制饮品配方，敲定所用水果、调配液体以及是否添加甜味剂。另一组聆听记录原料，制作配方卡片，将于下周在校内播报分享这份配方。)”可知，Smoothie Club需要分组协作共同参与活动。 2．细节理解题。根据Karaoke Club部分中的“It started with a simple Bluetooth speaker, microphone, and laptop but now has developed into an interactive (互动式的) concert experience with well-equipped facilities, where students sing their favorites by themselves or with friends, showing their feelings, or simply enjoy the electric atmosphere. (项目起初只配备简易蓝牙音箱、麦克风与笔记本电脑，如今已升级为设施完备的沉浸式互动音乐会。学生可独自或结伴演唱心仪曲目、抒发心绪，也能单纯沉浸在热烈欢快的现场氛围中。)”以及Nail Art Club部分中的“Nail art allows the kids to express themselves in a less traditional way.(美甲艺术可以让孩子们以非传统的方式展现自我。)”可知，两个社团都可以作为自我表达的途径。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s necessary that the heads of schools recognize the role after-school activities can play. Enlarging your school’s clubs is worth the effort.(学校负责人应当认识到课外活动发挥的作用，扩充校内社团是值得投入精力的事情。)”可知，文章面向学校领导层进行介绍推荐。 Passage 2 （2025-2026学年江苏省海门中学高一上学期期中） Summer presents a collection of festivals that combine fun, charity, and awareness. Here are four special celebrations happening in June: National Go Barefoot Day (June 1) Established after the 2004 tsunami, this day promotes barefoot walking for health benefits like stronger muscles while supporting Soles4Souls, a non-profit that has provided 19 million shoes globally. You can join barefoot activities or organize shoe collections. By simply taking off your shoes, you can improve your own health while helping children get the shoes they need. World Oceans Day (June 8) Oceans cover 66% of Earth and provide 50% of our oxygen, yet 8 million tons of plastic waste pollute them yearly.

One day a psychologist (心理学家) called Johnnie into his office and said, “Johnnie. I’ve gone over your various tests. I’ve made a very careful study of you and your achievements.” “I’ve been trying hard,” put in Johnnie. “That’s just the trouble,” said the psychologist. “You have worked very hard, but it doesn’t do the trick. You just don’t seem to be able to get ahead in your studies. For you to remain in high school would be a waste of time.” Johnnie buried his face in his hands. The psychologist laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder. “People have different kinds of talents, Johnnie,” he said. “Some day you will find what your special gift is.” Johnnie never went back to school. He managed to mow the lawns (修整草坪) and grow flowers in the neighborhood. One day Johnnie noticed a piece of unused land behind the city hall. An official happened to be there at that moment. So Johnnie said “I can make a garden out of this land, if you’ll let me.” “The town’s got no money for it,” said the official. “I don’t want any money for it,” said Johnnie. “I just want to do it.” The official was astonished and gave him the authority. Before long the land became a little park. There were grassy lawns and little curving walks and restful seats and little houses for birds. All the people were talking about what a lovely improvement the young man had made. It was also a kind of show window for Johnnie. People saw his skill and knew him as a gardener. That was twenty-five years ago. Today Johnnie is the head of a business in gardening. His aging parents are proud of Johnnie, for he is not only a success, he has also made his part of the world a lovely place to live in. 1．What can we know about Johnnie from the psychologist’s words? A．He was a problem student. B．He didn’t work hard at all. C．He wasn’t suitable for study. D．He didn’t like his high school. 2．How did Johnnie feel after hearing the psychologist’s comment? A．He was eager to return to school. B．He was sad to accept the true self. C．He was regretful about wasting time. D．He was happy to know where his gift lay. 3．Why did Johnnie offer to make a garden out of the unused land？ A．To make a lot of money. B．To show his gardening skills. C．To draw the official’s attention. D．To make others interested in him. 4．What can best describe Johnnie? A．Warm-hearted. B．Generous. C．Strong-willed. D．Energetic. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了高中生Johnnie Martin因学业表现不佳被心理学家建议退学，之后他发挥园艺特长，将市政厅后的荒地改造成小公园，最终成为园艺公司负责人，实现人生价值的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段心理学家说的话“You have worked very hard, but it doesn’t do the trick. You just don’t seem to be able to get ahead in your studies. For you to remain in high school would be a waste of time.(你已经非常努力了，但还是没有达到预期效果。你似乎就是无法在学习上取得进步。对你来说，继续留在高中是浪费时间。)”可知，心理学家认为Johnnie并不适合走学习这条道路，继续留在高中学习是浪费时间。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Johnnie buried his face in his hands. (Johnnie用手捂住了脸。)”和心理学家安慰他时所说的“People have different kinds of talents, Johnnie(每个人都有不同的天赋，Johnnie)”可推知，Johnnie是难过地接受了自己不适合学习的现实。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“People saw his skill and knew him as a gardener.(人们看到了他的技能，知道他是个园丁。)”以及倒数第四段“I don’t want any money for it,” said Johnnie. “I just want to do it. (“我不想为此要钱，”Johnnie说。“我只是想做这件事。”)”可知，Johnnie主动提出把闲置的土地变成花园，不是为了赚钱，而是想展示自己的园艺技能，让人们知道他是个园丁。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，Johnnie虽然学业不佳，被心理学家认为不适合继续高中学习，但他没有放弃，而是通过自己的努力在园艺方面取得了成功，从修整草坪、种花到把闲置土地变成花园，再到成为园艺公司的负责人，他始终坚持不懈地追求自己的目标，由此可推断出他是一个意志坚强的人。故选C项。 Passage 2 （2025-2026学年高一天津六校联考） When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had painstakingly practised my lines with me. But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside and asked me to be a narrator (叙述者). I felt disappointed and didn't tell my mother. However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard. It was a lovely spring day and the rose leaves were turning green. We could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass. My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds (杂草),” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added. Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry. “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator's part is as important as the part of a princess.” Over the next few weeks, with her encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. Lunchtimes were spent reading over my lines and talking about what I would wear. Backstage on the night of the performance, I felt nervous. However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me. I performed so well that the audience stood up and burst into cheers. After the play, Mom gently pressed dandelion into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket. 1．What problem did the author have? A．She was not interested in her role. B．She failed to satisfy her teacher. C．She was unwilling to practise lines. D．She was anxious about performing on stage. 2．How did the author’s mother help her deal with her disappointment? A．By practicing lines with her. B．By suggesting her quitting the play. C．By talking about flowers in the garden. D．By communicating with the teacher in person. 3．What lesson did the author learn from her mother about role shift? A．Not everyone can be successful. B．Praise is needed in one’s growth. C．Every individual has their unique value. D．Roses look more beautiful against weeds. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The gift of Mom. B．The belief of Mom. C．The magic of flowers. D．The influence of role play. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者因舞台怯场换角色，在母亲的引导下重拾信心并圆满完成演出的故事。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But no matter how easily I delivered them at home, as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head.(但是不管我在家说得多么流利，当我走上舞台时，所有的台词都从我的脑海里消失了)”可知，作者在舞台上会紧张到忘记台词，由此可推断她对登台表演感到焦虑。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, she sensed my unease, instead of suggesting me reciting my lines, she took me for a walk in our yard(然而，她看出了我的不安，她没有让我背诵台词，而是带我去院子里散步)”和第三段中的“My mother looked at one of the dandelions and said, “I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,” then she pulled a flower up by its roots. “From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.”(母亲看着其中一朵蒲公英说：“我想我要把这些杂草都挖掉”，然后她把一朵花连根拔起。“从现在起，我们的花园里只种玫瑰。”)”可知，母亲通过和作者谈论花园里的花来引导她，帮她排解失落的情绪。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it?” she asked thoughtfully. “And that is true of people too,” she added.(“是啊，每朵花都有它自己独特的方式带给人愉悦，不是吗？” 她若有所思地问道。“人也是如此。” 她补充道)”可知，母亲用花类比人，让作者明白每个人都有其独特的价值，这也适用于她从公主角色换成叙述者这件事。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“However, it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me.(然而，就在那一刻，我发现口袋里有一朵蒲公英。我知道是妈妈把花塞给我的，这朵花是为了陪伴我)”和最后一段中的“Though years have passed, I always recall our precious lunchtimes being together, grateful for the gift in my pocket.(尽管多年过去，我总会想起我们一起度过的珍贵午餐时光，感激口袋里那份礼物)”可知，母亲的蒲公英是贯穿全文的线索，也是给予作者勇气的礼物，全文围绕这份礼物展开。因此A项“妈妈的礼物”可以作为文章的最佳标题。故选A项。 Passage 3 （2025-2026学年河北定州中学高一下学期期末考试英语试卷） I first fell in love with acupuncture (针灸) when I realized that it could be a cure for a migraine, a very bad headache that often makes you unable to bear strong light. Before I discovered acupuncture, I tried everything for migraines. Eventually, my battle with migraines started to affect my studies and my relationships with my husband and friends. I couldn’t focus or get my work done. Nothing worked permanently. That was when I decided to give acupuncture a shot. It took a few acupuncture sessions for me to start to notice gradual differences. In time, after following my treatment plan strictly, I went from having migraines more than half the days out of the month to just one or two migraines a month. I noticed I was having improvement with other symptoms as well. As I started to see improvement in my own health, I realized there was so much more to this approach to health and curing than just acupuncture. I started to learn about the Chinese Medicine ideas behind the acupuncture treatments and became attracted to the idea of Qi, or energy, and how it is affected by the seasons, diet, and more. It was my own health journey that eventually led me to my pursuit of my master’s degree in Chinese Medicine in 2014. When my patients come in for their first consultation, many are not aware of all of the potential benefits available to them beyond a simple acupuncture treatment. As a practitioner (执业者) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is my job to listen, determine the range of the problem, educate and create a treatment plan for my patients. What I love about my career is that I have the opportunity to share a number of treatment options including acupuncture, cupping, and dietary recommendations, as well as little at-home tips that make a world of difference. 1．Why did the author try acupuncture? A．Her quality of life declined. B．Her husband and friends advised her to try it. C．She was unable to bear bright light. D．She had known its benefits before migraines. 2．What do we know about the acupuncture treatment? A．It erased the author’s migraines. B．It involved complex treatment plans. C．It worked gradually but effectively. D．It was closely based on the idea of Qi. 3．What did acupuncture bring to the author? A．A higher academic degree. B．A firm decision to study medicine. C．A reputation for treating migraines. D．An interest in Chinese medicine. 4．Which of the following best describes the author as a TCM practitioner? A．Caring but cautious. B．Attentive and considerate. C．Strict but encouraging. D．Knowledgeable and experienced. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章讲述作者因偏头痛接触针灸，进而深耕中医并从业助人的经历。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Eventually, my battle with migraines started to affect my studies and my relationships with my husband and friends. I couldn’t focus or get my work done. Nothing worked permanently. That was when I decided to give acupuncture a shot.(最终，我与偏头痛的斗争开始影响我的学业，以及我与丈夫和朋友的关系。我无法集中精力，也无法完成工作。没有任何方法是永久有效的。就在那时，我决定试试针灸。)”可知，作者生活质量下降，因此尝试针灸。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“It took a few acupuncture sessions for me to start to notice gradual differences. In time, after following my treatment plan strictly, I went from having migraines more than half the days out of the month to just one or two migraines a month.(经过数次针灸治疗后，我才逐渐感受到变化。坚持严格的治疗方案后，我每月偏头痛发作次数从大半月降至一两次。)”可知，针灸见效缓慢但效果显著。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I started to learn about the Chinese Medicine ideas behind the acupuncture treatments and became attracted to the idea of Qi, or energy, and how it is affected by the seasons, diet, and more.(我开始了解针灸背后的中医理念，对气的概念及其影响因素产生了浓厚兴趣。)”可知，针灸让作者对中医产生了兴趣。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段中“As a practitioner (执业者) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is my job to listen, determine the range of the problem, educate and create a treatment plan for my patients.(作为中医从业者，我的职责是倾听、判断病情、科普知识并为患者制定治疗方案。)”可知，作者细心体贴、认真负责。 Passage 4 （2025-2026学年江西省抚州市多校联考高一年级下学期5月质量检测英语试题） I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter. “I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.” The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?” People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...” I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.” The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...” “It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.” He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.” A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said. That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope. 1．Why did the author want to get home quickly? A．She hated waiting in line. B．She was eager to meet her grandson. C．She was tired after work. D．She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class. 2．What made the old man choose to put the cookies back? A．His own preference. B．The cashier’s advice. C．The cookies’ high price. D．Lack of money. 3．How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies? A．Shocked and upset. B．Amazed and moved. C．Doubtful and embarrassed. D．Indifferent and calm. 4．What message does the text mainly want to convey? A．Patience in public is a virtue. B．Family ties are the most valuable. C．Kindness can lead to friendliness. D．Elderly people need more care. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】文章讲述了作者下班购物时帮钱不够的老人付了饼干钱，老人十分感激。一周后老人带孙子特意前来分享饼干，小小善意拉近人心，带来温暖与联结。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching.(我正站在杂货店的队伍里，一边用手机浏览着信息，迫不及待地想结束漫长的一天的教学工作后回到家)”可知，作者想要尽快回家是因为她工作了一天，感到很疲惫。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?”(收银员是一位看上去同样疲惫的年轻女士，她叹了口气说道：“先生，您少付了五美元。您想把某件东西放回去吗？”)”和第四段“The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...”(老人看着自己买的东西：一盒牛奶、一条面包、一打鸡蛋，还有一小盒巧克力饼干。他慢慢伸手去拿那盒饼干。“我…… 我不要这个了。本来是买给孙子的，可是……”)”可知，缺钱让这位老人决定把那些饼干放回去。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段“The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...”(那个男人愣住了。他看着我，他那双眼泪汪汪的蓝眼睛因震惊而睁得大大的。“不，小姐，我不能……”)”可知，当作者为这些饼干付钱时，那位老人惊讶又感激。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.(它有着一种让人联想到联系、让人充满希望的感觉)”以及文章讲述了作者在超市主动帮一位钱不够的老人买下给孙子的饼干，一周后老人和孙子特意与作者分享饼干以表感激的故事。故文章主要想传达“善意能够传递温暖，带来友善与美好的人际联系”这一主旨。 · 说明文 Passage 1 （22025-2026学年度安徽肥西宏图中学下学期高一年级英语学科第三次段考） School is still out for the summer, but at Eastern Senior High School in Washington D．C．, students are hard at work outdoors. In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting (收获) vegetables for the weekend’s farmers market. Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she’s taken those healthy behaviours home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables. City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged (使参与) and improve academic performance. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow. For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their views on where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation (评价) conducted by PEER Associates. 1．What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity？ A．It is a good way to earn pocket money. B．It has improved her family relationship. C．It contributes to her healthy eating habit. D．It is helpful to her academic performance. 2．What is the purpose of the school gardens？ A．To invite students to care for plants. B．To advance teachers’ teaching skills. C．To get students interested in science. D．To provide a creative way of learning. 3．What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms？ A．Its evaluations. B．Its effects. C．Its operations.

And she’s taken those healthy behaviours home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.(利特尔认为，参与园艺让她学会了尝试各种新事物，比如更经常地吃不同种类的蔬菜。她把这些健康的生活方式带回家，也鼓励家人多买水果和蔬菜。)”可知，利特尔认为这项户外活动有助于她养成健康的饮食习惯。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged (使参与) and improve academic performance. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow.(该组织与学校合作创建学习型花园，并培训教师如何利用这些花园激发学生兴趣，从而提升学业表现。这些花园实际上是户外教室。例如，它们可用于数学课，比如计算花坛的面积，或学习植物生长的科学原理。)”可知，该组织打造的菜园本质是“户外教室”，可用于数学、科学等多学科教学，目的是提升学生参与度、改善学业表现，也就是提供一种创新的学习方式。 3．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their views on where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation (评价) conducted by PEER Associates.(对学生而言，这种体验能带来营养上的启发，彻底改变了他们对食物来源以及生产食物所需条件的认识。根据PEER Associates进行的一项独立评估，合作学校的学生在通过标准化考试方面提高了12%至15%，同时94%的教师表示学生的参与度有所提升。)”可知，最后一段分别从学生认知、考试通过率、课堂参与度三个维度，介绍了校园菜园项目带来的实际改变，核心聚焦项目产生的效果与影响。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕校园菜园展开，既讲到它帮助学生建立健康饮食观念，也讲到它作为户外教室提升学业表现、促进学生成长，“健康饮食 + 智慧成长”完整概括了校园菜园的教育价值。由此可知，这篇文章适合的标题是“健康的饮食者，聪明的头脑：学校花园教给孩子的东西”。 Passage 2 （22025-2026学年度浙江杭州市第二学期高一年级期末教学质量检测） To many teens, nothing sounds worse than hanging out with their parents. But what if family bonds during adolescence (青春期) meant a better social life down the line? A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that a close, supportive relationship with parents during middle and high school was associated with a variety of positive social indicators up to two decades later. Historically, social development research has relied on participants recalling their childhoods, a method which is subject to the limitations of memory. Instead, Dr. Robert C． Whitaker, an author of the new study and a professor of Columbia University, decided to take the traditional approach upside down. He and his colleagues used data following a nationally representative sample of teens from as early as seventh grade into their 30s and 40s. In their early years, the participants rated how much their family members understood them, how much fun they had together, and whether they felt cared for and wanted, among other indicators. Dr. Whitaker and his colleagues averaged each of the 7,018 participants’ various answers into individual “family connection scores”, then divided the participants into quartiles (四分位数). When the adolescents became adults, they were asked about the structure, function and quality of various social connections. Dr. Whitaker’s team found that adolescents in the highest group of family connection scores had a prevalence of high social connection in adulthood that was 23.4 percentage points greater than that of those in the lowest group. Only 16.1 percent of adolescents in the lowest group of family connection ended up with high social connection in adulthood. While the research did not examine the mechanisms at play, experts believe that parents who set a healthy relational tone were modeling skills and habits that their children could adopt and apply later on. The authors wrote that pediatricians (儿科医生) could help by supporting parents who did not grow up with such relationships. By helping parents feel safe and seen even during uncertain times, they concluded, the parents could in turn offer that stability to their children. 1．What has the research revealed? A．Family ties in teens shape socialization. B．Parent-child bonds emerge in adulthood. C．Parent care matters most in adolescence. D．Teenagers tend to resist parental company. 2．What can we learn about the research method adopted? A．It groups the participants by age. B．It takes a developmental perspective. C．It can be affected by memory faults. D．It involves a limited range of subjects. 3．What does the underlined word “prevalence” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Contradiction. B．Downside. C．Proportion. D．Contribution. 4．What do the authors of the study suggest pediatricians do? A．Explore the relational mechanisms. B．Correct parents’ relational perception. C．Model teens’ socialization on parents. D．Enhance parents’ security and visibility. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【原文】本文通过介绍专业研究成果，阐述青少年时期家庭关系对成年后社交能力的影响。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A study published in JAMA Pediatrics found that a close, supportive relationship with parents during middle and high school was associated with a variety of positive social indicators up to two decades later. (发表在《美国医学会儿科杂志》上的一项研究发现，初中和高中时期与父母亲密、支持性的关系与20年后的各种积极社交指标相关。)”可知，研究揭示了青少年时期的家庭关系会塑造其社会化发展。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He and his colleagues used data following a nationally representative sample of teens from as early as seventh grade into their 30s and 40s. (他和他的同事们使用的数据跟踪了一个具有全国代表性的青少年样本，从七年级开始一直到他们三四十岁。)”可知，这项研究采用了发展的视角，跟踪研究对象从青少年到成年的发展过程。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中划线单词所在的句子“Dr. Whitaker’s team found that adolescents in the highest group of family connection scores had a prevalence of high social connection in adulthood that was 23.4 percentage points greater than that of those in the lowest group. (惠特克博士的团队发现，家庭联系得分最高组的青少年在成年后拥有高社交联系的prevalence比最低组高23.4个百分点。)”，特别是下文的百分比可知，prevalence在这里的意思是“比例”，与proportion意思相近。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The authors wrote that pediatricians (儿科医生) could help by supporting parents who did not grow up with such relationships. By helping parents feel safe and seen even during uncertain times, they concluded, the parents could in turn offer that stability to their children. (作者写道，儿科医生可以通过支持那些没有在这种关系中长大的父母来提供帮助。他们总结说，通过帮助父母在不确定的时期感到安全和被关注，父母反过来可以为他们的孩子提供这种稳定。)”可知，研究作者建议儿科医生增强父母的安全感和被关注感。 Passage 3 （2025-2026学年浙江衢州市高一下学期6月期末英语） Our bodies weren’t made to sit for hours in a classroom. That may be why many kids struggle to stay focused in school, often losing track of lessons. High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems. Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment. It uses short periods of heart-beating activity with short breaks in between. For example, high knees, star jumps, jumping jacks, hops and kicks. They described it in Psychology of Sport and Exercise, a leading academic journal. Twenty-five students aged 9 to 12 tried out the program. At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time. Then they did the high-intensity break exercises, rode an exercise bike or watched a short video. After each activity, participants did some tests. One test showed five fish in a line on a screen, and kids had to note which direction the center fish faced. Other tests focused on math or language skills. During the fish test, the team noticed a change in what Drollette calls “the uh-oh mechanism” — when you realize you made a mistake. High-intensity exercise reduced that response, suggesting that exercise had made kids’ brains more efficient at processing information. Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout. But they did a little worse at math. That could be from tiredness, which tends to affect higher-level thinking tasks, Drollette says. Being active can help with both mental and physical health, says Drollette. His recommendation: “Find opportunities to stand up and get moving, even for a few minutes, to keep your brain sharp and your body healthy.” 1．What is the nine-minute program designed for? A．Helping students get better at focusing. B．Training students’ physical strength. C．Making students more active in sports. D．Assisting students to relax after class. 2．What were the 25 students required to do in Drollette’s lab? A．They only did high-intensity exercise. B．They wore equipment to record brain activity. C．They did tests before doing any activity. D．They watched videos for a long time. 3．What effect did high-intensity break exercise have on students? A．It made students better at math. B．It reduced students’ tiredness. C．It improved students’ language tests. D．It made students’ brains slower. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Short Breaks: A Cure for Students’ Tiredness B．High-Intensity Break Exercises: A way to Improve Math C．Short Breaks: A Solution to Building health D．High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】文章主要讲述短时高强度课间运动可提升学生专注力，但对数学能力有轻微负面影响。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better. Just a few minutes of activity improves brain function and learning, new research shows, offering a simple solution for classroom problems.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。新研究表明，短短几分钟的运动就能改善大脑功能与学习效率，为课堂专注力难题提供了简便的解决办法。)”和第二段中“Eric Drollette wondered how little exercise was needed to improve focus. He’s an exercise expert at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He led a team that designed a nine-minute, high-intensity break exercise program that could be done in a classroom without extra equipment.(运动专家埃里克·德洛莱特就职于北卡罗来纳大学格林斯伯勒分校，他想知道提升专注力所需的最短运动时长。他带领团队设计了一套时长九分钟的高强度课间运动方案，无需额外器械，在教室内即可完成。)”可知，该项目旨在帮助学生提升专注力。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“At Drollette’s lab, they wore a heart rate monitor (监测器) and an EEG hat that recorded brain activity in real time.(在德洛莱特的实验室里，他们佩戴心率监测器和脑电图帽，实时记录大脑活动。)”可知，学生需要佩戴记录大脑活动的设备。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Students also performed better on the language tests after the high-intensity workout.(学生们在高强度运动过后，语言测试的表现也变得更好。)”可知，该运动提升了学生语言测试成绩。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“High-intensity (高强度) break exercises can help students focus better.(高强度课间运动可以帮助学生更好地集中注意力。)”可知，全文围绕高强度课间运动助力学生专注力展开。“High-Intensity Break Exercises: An Aid for Students’ Focus(高强度课间运动：学生集中注意力的辅助方法)”符合题意。 Passage 4 (2025-2026学年江苏省连云港市东海县高一上学期期中) Many high school students want to join sports teams, sometimes just to be popular or make more friends. But beyond these simple reasons, sports offer countless valuable benefits that teens might not notice — and parents will surely appreciate. In today’s world, teens often focus too much on TVs, computers, or video games, choosing to be alone instead of hanging out with peers. Unlike the old days when kids went to the mall or drove around town, now they spend most of their time at home. Sports give teens a perfect chance to go out, socialize, and learn teamwork. Even if they don’t find a lifelong friend, the ability to communicate and work with others will be extremely useful for their future lives. Obesity (肥胖) is a growing problem among young people, not just adults. Joining a team sport helps teens get regular exercise without the pressure of “losing weight” or “getting into shape.” What’s more, if they notice their physical condition is holding them back in games, they may feel encouraged to do extra activities to stay healthy. Sports also help parents show love and support to their teens. Showing up at their games, helping them practice, and joining teams to raise money are great ways to spend quality time together and communicate better. If your teen worries about not being “good enough” for the school team, don’t worry — there are plenty of other options. The community “for-fun” leagues (联赛), or even less common sports like bowling (保龄球) are all great choices. With a little research, you’re sure to find something your teen enjoys. In short, team sports let teens get out of the house, stay active, make friends, and even open doors to college scholarships. So why not encourage your teen to give sports a try today? 1．What can teens benefit from sports from Paragraph 2? A．They can become more popular at school. B．They can improve themselves from teamwork. C．They can go shopping with friends in the town. D．They can spend more time playing games at home. 2．Which of the following shows parents’ support to their teens? A．Appearing at their games. B．Driving away their worries. C．Helping them finish homework. D．Offering them sports equipment. 3．Why is bowling mentioned in Paragraph 5? A．Teens know little about it. B．Teens have many choices. C．Bowling is a difficult sport. D．Bowling is popular among teens. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain how teens can make more friends. B．To list the most popular team sports for teens. C．To show parents how to help teens lose weight. D．To encourage parents to let teens join sports teams. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】主要阐述青少年参与体育运动的各类益处，同时劝说家长鼓励孩子加入运动队锻炼身体、收获成长。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sports give teens a perfect chance to go out, socialize, and learn teamwork.(体育运动为青少年提供外出交际、学习团队合作的绝佳机会。)”可知，青少年能够在团队协作中实现自我提升。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Showing up at their games, helping them practice, and joining teams to raise money are great ways to spend quality time together and communicate better.(到场观看比赛、陪同练习、参与筹款都是陪伴孩子、增进沟通的暖心方式。)”可知，到场观看赛事是家长表达支持的一种形式。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“If your teen worries about not being “good enough” for the school team, don’t worry — there are plenty of other options.(如果你的孩子担心自己实力不足以进校队，不必忧心，还有不少其他选择。)”可知，列举保龄球项目是为说明青少年拥有丰富多样的运动可选。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In short, team sports let teens get out of the house, stay active, make friends, and even open doors to college scholarships. So why not encourage your teen to give sports a try today?(总而言之，团体运动益处颇多，不妨如今就鼓励孩子尝试参与体育运动。)”可知，文章旨在劝说家长鼓励青少年加入运动队。 · 议论文 Passage 1 （2025-2026学年江苏省海安高级中学高一上学期期中考试） How good are you at maths? Some people love the challenge of algebra (代数) or enjoy working out number puzzles. Maths is all around us, from working out how to split the bill after a meal to calculating your household bills. But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. Research traces maths anxiety back to school experiences. Nervous teachers may unintentionally pass their fears to students, and girls are particularly vulnerable. Data from 34 countries reveals striking numbers: 31% of teenagers feel nervous about solving problems, 33% stress over homework, and nearly 60% fear difficult classes. Shulamit Kahn, a Boston University expert, argues that positive role models — especially female teachers — are critical to building confidence in young learners. Writing for BBC Future, David Robson says, “It’s not clear why maths causes so much fear compared to geography. But the fact that there’s only one correct answer — there’s no room for bluffing — might make you more worried about under-performing.” And once we suppose we’re not a “maths person”, we avoid solving things that we probably could do. Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. 1．What does the author think of “maths anxiety”? A．It doesn’t mean poor ability. B．It affects almost everyone from birth. C．It naturally disappears with age. D．It only troubles school children. 2．What does “there’s no room for bluffing” mean about maths problems? A．They require creative thinking. B．They can be understood differently. C．They demand exact answers. D．They include many maths steps. 3．How do psychologists advise reducing maths anxiety? A．Ignore it and move on to harder problems. B．Adjust exams to lower stress for students. C．Voice your worries and try again. D．Replace daily maths with puzzle games. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．How Do We Learn Maths Effectively? B．Is Maths Worth Learning? C．Are Boys Better at Maths than Girls? D．Should We Fear Maths? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章旨在引导学生正确看待数学学习，通过转变思维来缓解焦虑，从而以更健康的态度面对数学。专家指出榜样力量，倡导把数学当挑战，积极面对可减压。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. (这可能看起来令人沮丧，但这种“数学焦虑”是完全正常的，绝对不是你一个人这样。无论如何，我们的担忧和恐惧并不一定表明我们的能力。)”可知，作者认为人们对数学的恐惧焦虑并不能反映出他们的能力。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线句前的破折号可知，该句是对破折号前面fact的同位语从句内容“that there’s only one correct answer (只有一个正确答案)”的解释，由此可知，该句是强调数学学科题目答案的唯一性，即数学要求确切的答案。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Psychologists have been trying to work out why maths can bring us out in a sweat. That seed of fear may come from many sources, but some suggest that expressing your fears can loosen their hold on you and recommend children to see a maths test as a challenge, not a threat. In fact, we need to think positively about maths and give it a second chance. (心理学家正探究为何数学让人冒汗。恐惧种子来源多，但把焦虑说出来能削弱它；应把数学测试视为挑战而非威胁。让我们对数学多一点积极，再给它一次机会。)”可知，心理学家建议勇敢说出自己对数学的担忧并保持积极的态度， 再试一次，以此来减少对数学的焦虑。C选项中的voice与express，try again与give it a second chance近义表达。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But many people dread the moment when they have to deal with numbers and figures, and feel a real sense of worry and confusion. It can seem depressing, but this “maths anxiety” is perfectly normal, and you’re definitely not alone. And anyway, our worries and fears don’t necessarily show our ability. (但许多人害怕面对数字的时刻，感到真正的担忧和困惑。这可能看起来令人沮丧，但这种“数学焦虑”是完全正常的，你绝对不是一个人。无论如何，我们的担忧和恐惧并不一定表明我们的能力。)”并通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了数学焦虑这一现象及成因，以及心理学家对于如何减少数学焦虑的建议， 整体围绕是否应该害怕数学展开讨论。故选D项。 Passage 2 （2025-2026学年江苏镇江市第二学期高一期末） The Value of Patience Patience is a virtue that is often overlooked in today’s fast-paced world. Many people want instant results, but success usually comes to those who are willing to wait and work hard. A famous story tells of a young man who asked a wise man for the secret to success. The wise man said, “Patience. Plant a seed and water it every day. Do not dig it up to see if it is growing.” The young man followed the advice. Years later, he had a beautiful garden. In our daily lives, patience helps us deal with difficulties. When we face a dilemma, acting impatiently often leads to bad decisions. Taking time to think can make a big difference. Moreover, patience is important in relationships. Listening to others without interrupting shows respect and builds trust. However, being patient does not mean being passive. It means staying calm while continuing to work toward your goal. As the saying goes, “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” So next time you feel like giving up, remember that good things come to those who wait. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Patience means doing nothing. B．Patience is important for success and relationships. C．The wise man gave bad advice. D．Success comes instantly. 2．Why did the wise man tell the young man not to dig up the seed? A．Because digging would destroy the seed. B．Because he wanted to test the young man’s patience. C．Because the seed would grow faster underground. D．Because the young man was too lazy. 3．According to the passage, what happens when people act impatiently in a dilemma? A．They make better decisions. B．They often make bad decisions. C．They become more creative. D．They ask for help. 4．What does the author mean by “Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting”? A．Waiting is useless. B．A positive attitude matters more than just waiting. C．Only waiting can solve problems. D．Patience is a sign of weakness. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 【导语】文章主要论述了耐心的价值，通过哲理故事与日常生活事例，阐明耐心对取得成功、维系人际关系的重要意义，同时区分了耐心与消极不作为的本质区别。 【详解】1．主旨大意题。根据标题“The Value of Patience(耐心的价值)”、第一段“Many people want instant results, but success usually comes to those who are willing to wait and work hard.(很多人渴求立竿见影的结果，但成功往往属于愿意等待并坚持努力的人。)”以及第二段“Moreover, patience is important in relationships.(此外，耐心在人际交往中十分重要。)”可知，本文主旨是耐心对于成功和人际关系至关重要。 2．推理判断题。根据第一段“A famous story tells of a young man who asked a wise man for the secret to success. The wise man said, ‘Patience. Plant a seed and water it every day. Do not dig it up to see if it is growing.’(有一则著名的故事，一位年轻人向智者求取成功的秘诀。智者说：‘秘诀就是耐心。种下一粒种子，每日浇水，不要把它挖出来查看生长情况。’)”可知，智者的用意是考验年轻人的耐心。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“When we face a dilemma, acting impatiently often leads to bad decisions.(当我们陷入两难境地时，行事急躁往往会做出糟糕的决定。)”可知，急躁行事会让人做出错误的抉择。 4．词句猜测题。根据第三段“However, being patient does not mean being passive. It means staying calm while continuing to work toward your goal.(然而，耐心并不代表消极被动。它意味着保持冷静，同时朝着目标持续努力。)”可知，作者想表达单纯的等待毫无意义，等待过程中积极向上的心态更为重要。 Passage 3 （2025-2026学年山东潍坊安丘市高一下学期期中） Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card. Growing up she had learned that the way to receive recognition and love from family members and teachers was to be a high achiever. So to Magee, that A-minus felt like a failure. “I was heart-broken,” she said. “In that moment, I felt like my self-worth as a human had fallen far below what it would have been if I’d gotten an A or an A-plus.” Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia. Many parents today feel a sense of competitiveness that they may push onto their kids, whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application. But if a child is only rewarded for high achievement, over time they learn that their value as a person depends on being perfect. Instagram, Facebook and other social media platforms also increase unhealthy comparisons. “It’s a real problem — those social media images end up serving as standards that people can compare themselves to and a perfectionist is always trying to be as good as others,” Sherry, a clinical psychologist, said. And it’s never been harder to keep up with other people, because today we are constantly bombed with seemingly perfect images of other peoples’ lives. Eventually Magee learned that she had to let go a little and allow herself to show up with all her imperfections. She eventually learned to trust that she could show up, not being perfect, and still feel valued. She said, “I can be imperfect and everything can be fine!” 1．How did Hailey Magee feel when she got an A-minus? A．Satisfied. B．Excited. C．Disappointed. D．Uninterested. 2．Perfectionism may result in the following problems EXCEPT _________. A．negative feelings B．high work efficiency C．increased stress levels D．physical problems 3．What does the underlined phrase “a sense of competitiveness” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．A strong wish to be better than others. B．A great pressure to get perfect grades. C．A feeling of being judged on social media. D．A belief that top schools are the most important. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Parental Pressure: The Root of All Student Anxiety B．Hailey Magee’s Story: From Straight A’s to Failure C．The Role of Social Media in Creating Feelings of Imperfection D．The Dangers of Perfectionism and the Road to Self-Acceptance 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。 【详解】1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Hailey Magee rushed home from school crying after seeing that she’d received an A-minus on her grade report card.(海莉·麦吉在学校看到自己成绩单上得了A-后，哭着冲回了家)”可知，Hailey Magee哭着跑回家，可推知，Hailey Magee感到失望。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(高度的完美主义与抑郁、焦虑、进食障碍以及自伤行为有关。不断追求完美的压力还可能导致人们感到紧张，出现头痛和失眠等问题)”可推断出，完美主义会导致压力增加、负面情绪和身体健康问题，但不会提高工作效率，因此选项B“高工作效率”不属于完美主义导致的问题。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“whether by pressuring them to get perfect grades so they can get into top schools or engaging them in after-school activities that might look good on a college application(他们要么逼迫孩子取得完美成绩以进入顶尖学校，要么让孩子参加课外活动，以为这些能提升大学申请的竞争力)”可知，第三段家长逼迫孩子考高分、参加加分活动，是总想胜过别人的竞争心态。故划线词意思是“想要比别人更好的强烈愿望”。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Magee’s turning a good grade into a cause of her inferiority (自卑) is a textbook example of a growing trend in recent years: Perfectionist behavior. Perfectionism (完美主义) is now a growing cultural phenomenon. High levels of perfectionism were linked with depression, anxiety, eating disorders and self-harm. The constant stress of attempting to be perfect can also leave people stressed and suffering from headaches and insomnia.(麦吉将取得好成绩变成自己自卑的原因，是近年来一种日益普遍趋势的典型例子：完美主义行为。如今，完美主义已成为一种不断扩散的文化现象。高水平的完美主义与抑郁、焦虑、饮食障碍以及自残行为密切相关。持续追求完美的压力还可能导致人们感到紧张，并引发头痛和失眠等问题)”结合文章从小女孩Hailey Magee看到成绩单上的A-而伤心哭泣甚至崩溃，引出话题——这个时代，父母把竞争意识强加给孩子，以及社交媒体可以让人们不断地将自己的生活与他人的生活进行比较，完美主义不断被放大并且在危害人们的身心健康。Hailey Magee理解了完美主义背后的原因以及危害，最后接受了自己的不完美。可知，D选项“完美主义的危险与自我接纳之路”最符合文章标题。 Passage 4 （2025-2026学年广东东莞市第六高级中学第一学期高一英语） Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered. Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children’s sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.     Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don’t want her to form the perception (看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have. Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford.
