Unit 1 Laugh out loud! 大声笑出来 单元阅读精练 Healthcare clowns help patients laugh and recover An English adage says, "laughter is the best medicine". In these troubling times, good humour is in need more than ever. Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and incorporating it into their care treatments. One product of this is the emergence of clown doctors and healthcare clowns in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organisation that sets standards. The European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organisations was established in 2011. It says: "Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness and distraction to children who are ill or who have special needs.... Clowns also bring smiles to vulnerable adults, including seniors and people with dementia who are in hospital care." Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a Bachelor's degree in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to divert her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have therapeutic benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: "Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it integrates together - the doctors understand this." 【译文欣赏】 英国有句谚语说，“笑是最好的良药”。在当今动荡不安的时代，比以往任何时候都更需要良好的幽默感。医生和医务人员注意到了这一点，并将其纳入到他们的治疗中。这一现象衍生出全球医院里出现的小丑医生和医疗保健小丑。甚至还有一个制定标准的组织。欧洲健康小丑组织联盟成立于2011年。该组织称:“医疗小丑给生病或有特殊需要的儿童带来快乐，分散他们的注意力....小丑还能给脆弱的成年人带来微笑，包括老年人和住院治疗的老年痴呆患者。” 医疗保健小丑在以色列尤其受欢迎，以色列被认为是该领域的世界领导者。2007年，海法大学(Haifa university)成为了第一个开设医学小丑学士学位的大学。在3月份新冠肺炎病房开放后，耶路撒冷的一位医疗小丑Leah Weiss，她内心成为一位医疗小丑的渴望驱使她去帮助新冠患者。她说她知道自己具备成为医疗小丑的潜能，并且会对她的病人有治疗效果。她想减少他们的焦虑，改善他们的健康状况。⑥她喜欢和医生一起工作，她说:“显然，医生们照顾病人的身体。我们来了，负责照顾灵魂。⑧这两者会整合在一起——医生们明白这一点。” 【词汇积累】 adage [ˈædɪdʒ] n. 格言，箴言 troubling [ˈtrʌblɪŋ] adj. 令人不安的，令人忧虑的 humour [ˈhjuːmə(r)] n. 幽默，幽默感 incorporate [ɪnˈkɔːpəreɪt] vt. 融入，并入 emergence [ɪˈmɜːdʒəns] n. 出现，兴起 distraction [dɪˈstrækʃən] n. 分散注意力的事物，消遣 vulnerable [ˈvʌlnərəbl] adj. 脆弱的，易受伤的 dementia [dɪˈmenʃə] n. 痴呆 divert [daɪˈvɜːt] vt. 转移，转向 therapeutic [ˌθerəˈpjuːtɪk] adj. 治疗的，有疗效的 anxiety [æŋˈzaɪəti] n. 焦虑，忧虑 wellbeing [ˌwelˈbiːɪŋ] n. 健康，幸福 integrate [ˈɪntɪɡreɪt] vi./vt. 融合，结合 establish [ɪˈstæblɪʃ] vt. 建立，成立 emerge [ɪˈmɜːdʒ] vi. 出现，浮现 global [ˈɡləʊbəl] adj. 全球的 standard [ˈstændəd] n. 标准 senior [ˈsiːniə] n. 老年人 benefit [ˈbenɪfɪt] n. 好处，益处 reduce [rɪˈdjuːs] vt. 减少，降低 ward [wɔːd] n. 病房 clown [klaʊn] n. 小丑 emergence [ɪˈmɜːdʒəns] n. 出现，兴起 【知识拓展】 "Healthcare clowning"（医疗小丑/小丑医生）起源于20世纪80年代的美国，由纽约大苹果马戏团创始人Michael Christensen率先提出，最初是为了给住院儿童带去欢乐。此后这一理念逐渐传播至欧洲、以色列等地。以色列海法大学于2007年开设了全球首个医疗小丑学士学位项目，标志着这一领域从志愿服务向专业化、职业化发展。欧洲健康小丑组织联盟（EFHCO）成立于2011年，致力于制定行业标准、推动相关研究，并促进各国医疗小丑组织之间的交流与合作。 【词汇延伸】 take heed of 注意，留意 in need 需要帮助的 incorporate into 融入，并入 in the field 在某个领域里 around the globe 全球范围内 take care of 照顾，照料 have therapeutic benefits for 对……有治疗效果 bring smiles to 给……带来微笑 work alongside 与……一起工作 reduce anxiety 减少焦虑 improve wellbeing 改善健康 set standards 制定标准 【高考真题链接】 (2026·全国二卷·七选五) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways. ● Make housework part of the family routine. Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. ____36____ When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life. ● ____37____ You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same. ● Build determination through goals. ____38____ Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback. ● Treat mistakes as opportunities. Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. ____39____ Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. ____40____ No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction. A. The key is consistency. B. Help kids develop analytical skills. C. Model the work ethic you want to see. D. Instead, encourage them to do differently next time. E. Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward. F. Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in. G. Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner. ( 1.

For years she felt she’d simply lacked (缺乏) a focus, a drive. Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. Then, one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years,” Claire says. “ It seemed like fate (命运)—— and it made sense. ” Claire decided then that she, too, would walk the UK’s coast. And she set off on her journey last summer. The journey did present a few challenges. For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities. When it was cold and wet, I could find shelter in free and warm libraries or railway waiting rooms, providing a safe space for a single woman. I’d meet homeless people there and talk to them about their lives, and then buy them a cup of tea or something to eat.” Finally, on Sunday, July 28— after over 4,000 miles, 50 weeks, and the UK’s three highest places — she was back at John O'Groats where she’d started. Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.” Claire adds. 1. What can we infer about Claire in the first paragraph? A. She found her life was full of challenges. B. She wished to make a change in her life. C. She was tired of living with her family. D. She was confident about herself. 2. What inspired Claire to start her journey? A. Her dream of visiting landmarks in the UK. B. Suggestions from her friends to try hiking. C. Stories of others’ achievements. D. Her wish to give others a hand. 3. What did Claire decide to do after struggling to find shelter? A. Look for shelter for the homeless. B. Ask her friends and family for help. C. Raise money for homeless charities. D. Mark the hotels along the way on a map. 4. What does Claire hope to do by sharing her experience? A. Inspire people to get close to nature. B. Encourage people to challenge themselves. C. Show the importance of providing care to others. D. Raise awareness about the struggles of the homeless. Passage 2 （2025-2026学年高二上·湖南·期末）Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 1. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear D．Uncaring. 2. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A．It improves focus. B．It is a waste of time. C．It can keep a body in shape. D．It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 3. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A．It contributes to creativity. B．It encourages problem-solving. C．It builds relationships between people. D．It improves people’s awareness of safety. 4. What is the best title for the text? A．How to Start a Garden B．Choose a Garden or Not C．What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D．Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits Passage 3 （2025-2026学年高二下·湖北武汉·月考）The paddle (桨) cuts through the water as Paralympian athlete Curtis McGrath pushes his canoe (皮划艇) forward. With each strong move, a quick flash of green-and-yellow Aboriginal art can be seen on the paddle — the special design for Australia’s Paralympic team. For McGrath, this pattern, called “The Journey”, carries deep meaning. It matches his own story, as he found strength in sports after losing his legs. It seems symbolic of the idea that talking can support recovering. Many people find it difficult to talk about serious illness or injury. Serious injuries, like McGrath’s, come with a complex range of emotions including anger, denial, and depression. But sharing such emotions and talking about injuries can help people to manage them. “For me, to have a good support network around me helped me get through those tough times,” McGrath said during an interview in 2018. Understandably, many people with serious injuries find it easier to talk with others going through the same or a similar experience. This can bring a fuller level of understanding that helps people live with their injury on practical and emotional levels. “Six months after I got hurt, I got to see people who’d been injured doing things that I didn’t think were possible,” says McGrath. Inspired, he tried a few sports before finding his passion for paracanoe that he took to the Invictus Games in London, 2014. His achievements in sports have seen him win multiple gold medals at the Paralympic Games and World Championships. McGrath has become a champion for people with a disability, and a motivational speaker. And he’s not afraid to openly discuss his suffering. “It’s important to remember that the hard times never last forever,” advises McGrath, “There’s someone out there that’s going through something similar. It’s your responsibility to reach out to talk and to see what you could be.” 1. Why does the author mention “The Journey” on McGrath’s paddle? A. To present his personal recovery story. B. To express his honor as a disabled athlete. C. To explain the special design for the team. D. To highlight the importance of team spirit. 2. How can sharing emotions about serious injuries benefit people? A. It reduces their dependence on others. B. It saves them the cost of medical care. C. It increases their tolerance of injuries. D. It helps them get professional guidance. 3. What does McGrath advise disabled people to do? A. Contain emotions. B. Take responsibility. C. Develop hobbies. D. Seek connection. 4. Which of the following can best describe McGrath? A. Curious and devoted. B. Strict and influential. C. Strong and independent. D. Open-hearted and inspiring. Passage 4 （25-26高二下·湖南·入学考）When I signed up for a triathlon (铁人三项) years ago, I had one goal. It wasn’t to win the race or even to place in the top half. My goal was simple: not to finish in the last place. Second to last? OK. So long as I was not the last. I wanted to avoid the shame and mockery (嘲笑) of a participation trophy (奖). After all, my son, Zane, would join it. I didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a loser. I’m not much of an athlete. I find lung-burning aerobic exercise deeply unpleasant. But that summer my son came up with a intense proposal: Let's do a triathlon together! I felt I couldn’t say no. When we got to the base camp, I found these folks were well-prepared with sharply defined muscles. Don’t panic, I told myself, there must be a few even less prepared than I was. We lined up by the shore and dived into the bay. The icy water made me breathless. Zane pulled away with strong freestyle strokes. I used the breaststroke. Eventually I made it back to land. I ran to my bike and started pedaling along the hilly course. After 12 miles, there were several racers behind me. I wasn’t in last place. When I glanced back, I saw a woman maybe in her 70s. I can take her, I told myself. In the final mile, her sneaker-steps got louder and faster. I watched her pull away and disappear. There I was. Alone. I refused to walk although walking would probably have been faster than my foot dragging running. Worse, I was joined by a four-wheeled symbol of shame: the official ambulance behind me. Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. Zane hugged and congratulated me. I was embarrassed. I thought of an impressive number of excuses. But on our way back, the embarrassment faded. My embarrassment was gradually replaced by pride. I had reframed my last-place finish as a victory. I’m not a loser. I’m a triathlete and a role model for my son! Persistence and resilience (韧性), that’s what I displayed. I was racing against myself instead of others. Plus, my son did great, placing somewhere in the middle. I love that. Also, there is something glorious about last place. I may not be a great athlete, but I am a champion at changing the narrative, which might be more useful than athletic ability. 1. Why did the author mention his goal at the beginning of the article? A. To explain his motivation of avoiding personal shame. B. To show his strong desire to win the competition. C. To criticize the concept of participation trophies. D. To emphasize the significance of winning. 2. How did the author feel when he arrived at the base camp? A. Excited and cautious. B. Nervous and unsure. C. Prepared and overconfident. D. Indifferent and uninterested. 3. Why did the author say that he “reframed my last-place finish as a victory” in para.6? A. To pretend to win despite actually losing. B. To emphasize his son’s good performance. C. To avoid embarrassment and mockery. D. To show his change and personal growth. 4. What is the main message conveyed through the author’s experience? A. The shame of finishing in last place. B. The importance of family’s encouragement. C. The value of perseverance and determination. D. The joy of participating in athletic events with family. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江苏镇江·期末）When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health — and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being. A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle — as measured by cell phone activity — was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla. “There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says. “And they are strong determinants of my well-being.” A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors. Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common. Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact.Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding. 1. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To show social health is ignored by some people. B. To show social people like to do workouts with others. C. To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health. D. To prove more and more people have benefited from physical exercise. 2. What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to paragraph 2? A. They are out of date. B. They are more scientific. C. They can help realize the “qualified self”. D. They cannot reflect one’s overall health. 3. What did the 2019 study find? A. The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness. B. Old people felt lonelier than young people. C. Females feel happy more easily than males. D. Income had a great influence on people’s well-being. 4. What advice does Dr. Stuart Lustig give? A. Avoiding talking to strangers. B. Using social media as little as possible. C. Using technology for meaningful face-to-face interactions. D. Spending more time with like-minded young people. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·重庆·期末）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. ___1___ First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time. If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain. ___2___ So you should try to find out what does for you. Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning. Did you make a whole series of mistakes? Think about what you could do differently next time. ___3___ Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals. Once you’ve identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you’ll be ready to make a plan for moving forward. ___4___ Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking. “I am capable of trying again.” Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice. If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. ___5___ Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine. A. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone. B. Not every coping skill works for everyone, though. C. These will provide you with some temporary relief. D. Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson. E. And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better. F. Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck. G. There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure. Passage 7 （25-26高一上·湖南长沙·期中）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项为多余选项。 Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. ____1____. Humans are masters of avoidance and denial. Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. ____2____. Without this initial acknowledgment, we remain trapped in our own denial, unable to move forward. People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. ____3____ . Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated. ____4____. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. ____5____. Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A. It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. B. They are just there and part of the knotted chaos. C. The overall benefits from tough work enable growth. D. Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger. E. However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized. F. Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term. G. These might include an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long-ignored conflict. Passage 8 （24-25高一下·河北衡水·开学考）Life is a road full of minor inconveniences and major setbacks, which everyone faces regardless of wealth or social rank. That is why optimism, the ability to see the ____1____ side of every negative situation, is key to success. What made optimism (乐观) so meaningful to me was when I ____2____ the A team of the basketball club for the upcoming season. I had always been the starting point guard, and my ____3____ on the A team was something I took for granted. However, I only made the B team, ____4____ I worked my hardest. I didn’t understand why until I saw the new A team, crowded with players that all ____5____ me. I had to give the B team a chance. But to my ____6____, the play level was much lower than what I was used to. I lost the drive I’d had before and gradually became ____7____. One day I came across a social media post of another basketball team, whose point guard was much more ____8____ than her teammates. When her teammates made multiple mistakes ____9____ which cost them several points, I expected her to be upset, but ____10____, she patted her teammates on the back and comforted them. As I watched her more, I noticed that she led her team, always ____11____ and uplifting her teammates. The realization hit me like lightning. What I thought was a ____12____ turned out to be a valuable opportunity, presenting a rare chance to develop ____13____. So, I started using my ____14____ to be a leader for my team. My effort paid off as I ____15____ remarkably not just as a player, but as a person—something I could have never achieved on the A team. 1. A. ordinary B. creative C. difficult D. positive 2.

Sometimes I would almost black out upon standing. My family and adviser asked whether I was OK and 7 time away from my lab, but I 8 believed I was making myself better. I didn’t put a name to the problem until I came across an article about disordered eating. I finally sought the help of a(n) 9 . He told me that my eating disorder had 10 to do with food, exercise or weight. 11 , it was about my desire to be exceptional. Through weekly treatment, I let go 25 years of needing to be 12 . I learned tools to acknowledge and process my feelings, not by means of controlling calories. Now, having been on the road back to 13 for one year and a half, I enter my final year of graduate school with a completely 14 mindset(心态) about the person I want — rather than need — to be. Yes, I still want to 15 . But I don’t want to seek perfection any more. 1．A．fool B．failure C．loss D．patient 2．A．diet B．journey C．exercise D．weight 3．A．harmless B．timely C．easy D．wonderful 4．A．cheap B．delicious C．healthy D．various 5．A．raised B．disappeared C．increased D．widened 6．A．system B．spirit C．mouth D．stomach 7．A．took B．passed C．saved D．suggested 8．A．hardly B．strongly C．finally D．nearly 9．A．adviser B．doctor C．professor D．scientist 10．A．anything B．everything C．nothing D．something 11．A．Instead B．However C．Therefore D．Otherwise 12．A．determined B．perfect C．popular D．healthy 13．A．growth B．fitness C．competition D．expectation 14．A．different B．special C．scientific D．simple 15．A．explore B．learn C．succeed D．change Passage 10 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 （25-26高二上·湖北武汉·阶段练习）Lisa Osborne graduated from high school last June and is about 1 (go) college.

In these troubling times, good humour is in need more than ever. Doctors and medical staff are taking heed of this and incorporating it into their care treatments. One product of this is the emergence of clown doctors and healthcare clowns in hospitals around the globe. There is even an organisation that sets standards. The European Federation of Healthcare Clowns Organisations was established in 2011. It says: "Healthcare clowns bring moments of happiness and distraction to children who are ill or who have special needs.... Clowns also bring smiles to vulnerable adults, including seniors and people with dementia who are in hospital care." Healthcare clowns are becoming especially popular in Israel, which is considered a world leader in the field. The first university ever to offer a Bachelor's degree in medical clowning was Haifa University, in 2007. One healthcare clown in Jerusalem, Leah Weiss, decided to divert her inner clown to help patients after a COVID-19 ward opened in March. She said she knew the clown in her would have therapeutic benefits for her patients. She wants to reduce their anxiety and improve their wellbeing. She enjoys working alongside doctors and said: "Obviously, the doctors, they take care of the body. And we come in and take care of the soul. And it integrates together - the doctors understand this." 【译文欣赏】 英国有句谚语说，“笑是最好的良药”。在当今动荡不安的时代，比以往任何时候都更需要良好的幽默感。医生和医务人员注意到了这一点，并将其纳入到他们的治疗中。这一现象衍生出全球医院里出现的小丑医生和医疗保健小丑。甚至还有一个制定标准的组织。欧洲健康小丑组织联盟成立于2011年。该组织称:“医疗小丑给生病或有特殊需要的儿童带来快乐，分散他们的注意力....小丑还能给脆弱的成年人带来微笑，包括老年人和住院治疗的老年痴呆患者。” 医疗保健小丑在以色列尤其受欢迎，以色列被认为是该领域的世界领导者。2007年，海法大学(Haifa university)成为了第一个开设医学小丑学士学位的大学。在3月份新冠肺炎病房开放后，耶路撒冷的一位医疗小丑Leah Weiss，她内心成为一位医疗小丑的渴望驱使她去帮助新冠患者。她说她知道自己具备成为医疗小丑的潜能，并且会对她的病人有治疗效果。她想减少他们的焦虑，改善他们的健康状况。⑥她喜欢和医生一起工作，她说:“显然，医生们照顾病人的身体。我们来了，负责照顾灵魂。⑧这两者会整合在一起——医生们明白这一点。” 【词汇积累】 adage [ˈædɪdʒ] n. 格言，箴言 troubling [ˈtrʌblɪŋ] adj. 令人不安的，令人忧虑的 humour [ˈhjuːmə(r)] n. 幽默，幽默感 incorporate [ɪnˈkɔːpəreɪt] vt. 融入，并入 emergence [ɪˈmɜːdʒəns] n. 出现，兴起 distraction [dɪˈstrækʃən] n. 分散注意力的事物，消遣 vulnerable [ˈvʌlnərəbl] adj. 脆弱的，易受伤的 dementia [dɪˈmenʃə] n. 痴呆 divert [daɪˈvɜːt] vt. 转移，转向 therapeutic [ˌθerəˈpjuːtɪk] adj. 治疗的，有疗效的 anxiety [æŋˈzaɪəti] n. 焦虑，忧虑 wellbeing [ˌwelˈbiːɪŋ] n. 健康，幸福 integrate [ˈɪntɪɡreɪt] vi./vt. 融合，结合 establish [ɪˈstæblɪʃ] vt. 建立，成立 emerge [ɪˈmɜːdʒ] vi. 出现，浮现 global [ˈɡləʊbəl] adj. 全球的 standard [ˈstændəd] n. 标准 senior [ˈsiːniə] n. 老年人 benefit [ˈbenɪfɪt] n. 好处，益处 reduce [rɪˈdjuːs] vt. 减少，降低 ward [wɔːd] n. 病房 clown [klaʊn] n. 小丑 emergence [ɪˈmɜːdʒəns] n. 出现，兴起 【知识拓展】 "Healthcare clowning"（医疗小丑/小丑医生）起源于20世纪80年代的美国，由纽约大苹果马戏团创始人Michael Christensen率先提出，最初是为了给住院儿童带去欢乐。此后这一理念逐渐传播至欧洲、以色列等地。以色列海法大学于2007年开设了全球首个医疗小丑学士学位项目，标志着这一领域从志愿服务向专业化、职业化发展。欧洲健康小丑组织联盟（EFHCO）成立于2011年，致力于制定行业标准、推动相关研究，并促进各国医疗小丑组织之间的交流与合作。 【词汇延伸】 take heed of 注意，留意 in need 需要帮助的 incorporate into 融入，并入 in the field 在某个领域里 around the globe 全球范围内 take care of 照顾，照料 have therapeutic benefits for 对……有治疗效果 bring smiles to 给……带来微笑 work alongside 与……一起工作 reduce anxiety 减少焦虑 improve wellbeing 改善健康 set standards 制定标准 【高考真题链接】 (2026·全国二卷·七选五) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways. ● Make housework part of the family routine. Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. ____36____ When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life. ● ____37____ You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same. ● Build determination through goals. ____38____ Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback. ● Treat mistakes as opportunities. Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. ____39____ Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. ____40____ No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction. A. The key is consistency. B. Help kids develop analytical skills. C. Model the work ethic you want to see. D. Instead, encourage them to do differently next time. E. Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward. F. Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in. G. Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner. 【答案】36. A 37. C 38. G 39. D 40. F 【导语】文章介绍了四种从小培养孩子劳动品质的实用方法。 36.根据空前“Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants.(让孩子参与家庭日常事务：整理玩具、喂狗、浇花。)”以及空后“When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.(当做家务变得像刷牙一样常规化，孩子就会从内心认同做家务是生活的一部分。)”可知，前文给出具体家务内容，后文强调把家务固化成日常习惯，能让孩子形成观念，想要实现这个转变，核心要素就是持之以恒。A选项“The key is consistency.(关键在于持之以恒。)”，句中consistency对应后文routine，点明坚持常态化做家务是养成习惯的核心逻辑。 37.分析文章结构，该空为本段小标题，其余小标题均为简洁祈使句；根据本段后文“You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same.(你不能指望孩子满怀热情地处理自己的任务，而你自己却在抱怨把洗碗机里的碗碟摆好。如果你的孩子看到你享受工作、并为自己出色完成的事情感到自豪，他们就更有可能也这样做。)”可知，整段核心是家长自身行为会被孩子模仿，家长要做好榜样。C选项“Model the work ethic you want to see.(树立你希望孩子拥有的劳动榜样。)”概括本段内容，适合做小标题。 38.本段小标题是“Build determination through goals.(借助目标培养意志力。)”；根据空后“Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.(有时你需要帮孩子找到适合自己的事。和他们一起设定容易达成的小目标，看重进步而非完美。诀窍是让他们适当经历磨砺，不要一遇到挫折就立刻帮忙解决问题。)”可知，后文提出需要借助外力、设定小目标来锻炼意志力，反向说明孩子天生意志力参差不齐，不是所有人天生意志力都很强。G选项“Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.(并非每个孩子生来都拥有马拉松运动员那般强大的意志力。)”解释了为什么需要靠目标培养毅力，前后因果通顺，且与本段主题一致。 39.根据空前“When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission.(孩子搞砸事情时，不要立刻出手包揽补救。)”可知，建议家长孩子出现问题不要立刻出手包揽补救，后文需要给出对应的正向替代方案。D选项“Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.(取而代之，鼓励他们下次换一种方式处理。)”中instead承接前文不插手的做法，给出引导孩子自主修正错误的具体方式，符合语境。 40.根据空后“No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction.(不必担心。你当下正在培养的这些习惯，会让孩子终身拥有抗挫折能力与成就感。)”可知，No worry是安慰语气，说明空格处必然是家长会产生的顾虑。F选项“Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in.(进步速度可能很慢，你会疑惑孩子究竟有没有真正听进去、学进去。)”提出家长的焦虑疑惑，后文紧接着进行安抚解释，符合语境。 ( 1.

For years she felt she’d simply lacked (缺乏) a focus, a drive. Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. Then, one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years,” Claire says. “ It seemed like fate (命运)—— and it made sense. ” Claire decided then that she, too, would walk the UK’s coast. And she set off on her journey last summer. The journey did present a few challenges. For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities. When it was cold and wet, I could find shelter in free and warm libraries or railway waiting rooms, providing a safe space for a single woman. I’d meet homeless people there and talk to them about their lives, and then buy them a cup of tea or something to eat.” Finally, on Sunday, July 28— after over 4,000 miles, 50 weeks, and the UK’s three highest places — she was back at John O'Groats where she’d started. Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.” Claire adds. 1. What can we infer about Claire in the first paragraph? A. She found her life was full of challenges. B. She wished to make a change in her life. C. She was tired of living with her family. D. She was confident about herself. 2. What inspired Claire to start her journey? A. Her dream of visiting landmarks in the UK. B. Suggestions from her friends to try hiking. C. Stories of others’ achievements. D. Her wish to give others a hand. 3. What did Claire decide to do after struggling to find shelter? A. Look for shelter for the homeless. B. Ask her friends and family for help. C. Raise money for homeless charities. D. Mark the hotels along the way on a map. 4. What does Claire hope to do by sharing her experience? A. Inspire people to get close to nature. B. Encourage people to challenge themselves. C. Show the importance of providing care to others. D. Raise awareness about the struggles of the homeless. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。年近五十岁的克莱尔·艾伦(Claire Allen)徒步走遍了英国的海岸线。在此期间，她不仅挑战了自我，还帮助了无家可归的人。她希望可以通过自己的经历激励他人勇敢迈出自己的舒适区，迎接挑战。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Claire Allen had her own house, a great job she enjoyed and a loving family but something was missing. For years she felt she’d simply lacked (缺乏) a focus, a drive. Approaching fifty, each year felt the same. She needed to shake things up. (克莱尔·艾伦有自己的房子，一份她喜欢的好工作和一个充满爱的家庭，但缺少了一些东西。多年来，她觉得自己只是缺乏专注力和动力。接近第五十岁，每年都有同样的感觉。她需要改变现状。)”可知，克莱尔生活安稳却觉得单调，渴望改变现状，由此可推断她希望在生活中做出改变。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段“Then, one day. Claire had a sudden idea after learning about the feats (壮举) of others. “I mentioned to friends that I was looking for a challenge, and then came across Elise Downing, who ran the UK’s coast in ten months, and a guy called Christian Lewis, who did it over a number of years. ” Claire says. (然后，有一天。克莱尔在了解了其他人的功绩后突然想到了一个主意。克莱尔说：“我向朋友们提到我在寻找挑战，然后遇到了Elise Downing，她在十个月内跑了英国海岸，还有一个叫Christian Lewis的人，他做了很多年。”)”可知，是他人取得的成就（完成英国海岸相关挑战）激励克莱尔开启自己的旅程。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段 “For Claire, the struggles seemed small compared to what she got. “Having to find a place to sleep made me choose a cause to raise money for Shelter and Only A Pavement Away, two amazing homeless charities.(对克莱尔来说，这些困难与她的收获相比微不足道。“不得不寻找住宿的经历，让我决定为“Shelter”和“Only A Pavement Away”这两家出色的无家可归者慈善机构筹款。”)”可知，在艰难寻找住宿后，克莱尔决定为无家可归者慈善机构筹款。故选C项。 4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Claire says she is now sure that she will do another big mission (任务) soon, but more hopes that her story can inspire others to step out of their comfort zone(舒适区). “Hopefully I’ve made the world a better place and inspired at least one other person to head out and take on a big challenge, to make them feel alive again.“ Claire adds. (克莱尔说，她现在确信自己很快就会完成另一项重大任务，但更多的人希望她的故事能激励其他人走出他们的舒适区。“希望我让世界变得更美好，并激励至少另一个人走出去接受一项重大挑战，让他们再次感受到活力。”克莱尔补充道。)”可知，克莱尔分享自己的经历，是希望鼓励人们挑战自我。故选B项。 Passage 2 （2025-2026学年高二上·湖南·期末）Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.” Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. 1. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear D．Uncaring. 2. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening? A．It improves focus. B．It is a waste of time. C．It can keep a body in shape. D．It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 3. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text? A．It contributes to creativity. B．It encourages problem-solving. C．It builds relationships between people. D．It improves people’s awareness of safety. 4. What is the best title for the text? A．How to Start a Garden B．Choose a Garden or Not C．What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D．Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述园艺活动有利于身体健康并分析了原因。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段““Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”(“像挖土，种植和收割这样的活动需要运动并能帮助我们改善体力” Clayton，一家网上草坪护理公司的CEO说，“经常进行这些活动可以帮助燃烧卡路里，保持一个健康的体重”)”可知，Clayton对园艺活动持支持的态度。故选A。 2．主旨大意题。根据第三段第一句“Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system(除了燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉，很多研究表明园艺看改善免疫系统)”以及第三句“Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease.(每周做150分钟的园艺工作能够减少患肥胖，高血压以及心脏病的风险)”可知，本段主要讲园艺活动有助于降低患病的风险。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.(园艺也为社会联系提供了机会。它可以是家庭成员，朋友或邻居之间的共同活动，从而建立关系和归属感)”可知，园艺活动对社交的影响是它可以建立人们间的关系。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health.Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.(长期以来，人们一直认为户外活动有利于身体健康。园艺不仅仅是美化室外空间——它还对我们的身心健康产生很深的影响)”可知，文章主要讲述进行园艺活动有利于身心健康，所以文章的标题“开始园艺，并获得健康的好处”。故选D。 Passage 3 （2025-2026学年高二下·湖北武汉·月考）The paddle (桨) cuts through the water as Paralympian athlete Curtis McGrath pushes his canoe (皮划艇) forward. With each strong move, a quick flash of green-and-yellow Aboriginal art can be seen on the paddle — the special design for Australia’s Paralympic team. For McGrath, this pattern, called “The Journey”, carries deep meaning. It matches his own story, as he found strength in sports after losing his legs. It seems symbolic of the idea that talking can support recovering. Many people find it difficult to talk about serious illness or injury. Serious injuries, like McGrath’s, come with a complex range of emotions including anger, denial, and depression. But sharing such emotions and talking about injuries can help people to manage them. “For me, to have a good support network around me helped me get through those tough times,” McGrath said during an interview in 2018. Understandably, many people with serious injuries find it easier to talk with others going through the same or a similar experience. This can bring a fuller level of understanding that helps people live with their injury on practical and emotional levels. “Six months after I got hurt, I got to see people who’d been injured doing things that I didn’t think were possible,” says McGrath. Inspired, he tried a few sports before finding his passion for paracanoe that he took to the Invictus Games in London, 2014. His achievements in sports have seen him win multiple gold medals at the Paralympic Games and World Championships. McGrath has become a champion for people with a disability, and a motivational speaker. And he’s not afraid to openly discuss his suffering. “It’s important to remember that the hard times never last forever,” advises McGrath, “There’s someone out there that’s going through something similar. It’s your responsibility to reach out to talk and to see what you could be.” 1. Why does the author mention “The Journey” on McGrath’s paddle? A. To present his personal recovery story. B. To express his honor as a disabled athlete. C. To explain the special design for the team. D. To highlight the importance of team spirit. 2. How can sharing emotions about serious injuries benefit people? A. It reduces their dependence on others. B. It saves them the cost of medical care. C. It increases their tolerance of injuries. D. It helps them get professional guidance. 3. What does McGrath advise disabled people to do? A. Contain emotions. B. Take responsibility. C. Develop hobbies. D. Seek connection. 4. Which of the following can best describe McGrath? A. Curious and devoted. B. Strict and influential. C. Strong and independent. D. Open-hearted and inspiring. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 4. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残奥会运动员Curtis McGrath在失去双腿后，通过运动和与人交流走出困境、获得成功的故事，强调了倾诉与沟通对伤病康复的重要作用。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段内容“For McGrath, this pattern, called ‘The Journey’, carries deep meaning. It matches his own story, as he found strength in sports after losing his legs.(对McGrath来说，这个名为‘旅程’的图案有着深刻的意义。它与他自己的经历相契合，他在失去双腿后从运动中找到了力量。)”可知，作者提到McGrath桨上的“The Journey”是为了呈现他个人的康复故事。故选A。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段内容“But sharing such emotions and talking about injuries can help people to manage them.(但分享这些情绪、谈论伤病可以帮助人们应对它们。)”以及第三段内容“This can bring a fuller level of understanding that helps people live with their injury on practical and emotional levels.(这能带来更全面的理解，帮助人们在现实和情感层面接受伤病。)”可知，分享关于严重伤病的情绪有助于提高人们对伤病的接受和容忍度。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“There’s someone out there that’s going through something similar. It’s your responsibility to reach out to talk and to see what you could be.(总有人正在经历相似的事情。主动去交流，看看自己能成为什么样的人，这是你的责任。)”可知，McGrath建议残疾人主动寻求沟通与联结。故选D。 4.推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段“McGrath has become a champion for people with a disability, and a motivational speaker. And he’s not afraid to openly discuss his suffering.(McGrath已经成为残疾人的拥护者和励志演说家。他不怕公开谈论自己的痛苦。)”可知，McGrath勇敢面对残疾、坚持运动并获得成功，同时他乐于公开谈论自己的痛苦，用自身经历激励他人。由此可知，他心胸开阔、鼓舞人心。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26高二下·湖南·入学考）When I signed up for a triathlon (铁人三项) years ago, I had one goal. It wasn’t to win the race or even to place in the top half. My goal was simple: not to finish in the last place. Second to last? OK. So long as I was not the last. I wanted to avoid the shame and mockery (嘲笑) of a participation trophy (奖). After all, my son, Zane, would join it. I didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a loser. I’m not much of an athlete. I find lung-burning aerobic exercise deeply unpleasant. But that summer my son came up with a intense proposal: Let's do a triathlon together! I felt I couldn’t say no. When we got to the base camp, I found these folks were well-prepared with sharply defined muscles. Don’t panic, I told myself, there must be a few even less prepared than I was. We lined up by the shore and dived into the bay. The icy water made me breathless. Zane pulled away with strong freestyle strokes. I used the breaststroke. Eventually I made it back to land. I ran to my bike and started pedaling along the hilly course. After 12 miles, there were several racers behind me. I wasn’t in last place. When I glanced back, I saw a woman maybe in her 70s. I can take her, I told myself. In the final mile, her sneaker-steps got louder and faster. I watched her pull away and disappear. There I was. Alone. I refused to walk although walking would probably have been faster than my foot dragging running. Worse, I was joined by a four-wheeled symbol of shame: the official ambulance behind me. Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. Zane hugged and congratulated me. I was embarrassed. I thought of an impressive number of excuses. But on our way back, the embarrassment faded. My embarrassment was gradually replaced by pride. I had reframed my last-place finish as a victory. I’m not a loser. I’m a triathlete and a role model for my son! Persistence and resilience (韧性), that’s what I displayed. I was racing against myself instead of others. Plus, my son did great, placing somewhere in the middle. I love that. Also, there is something glorious about last place. I may not be a great athlete, but I am a champion at changing the narrative, which might be more useful than athletic ability. 1. Why did the author mention his goal at the beginning of the article? A. To explain his motivation of avoiding personal shame. B. To show his strong desire to win the competition. C. To criticize the concept of participation trophies. D. To emphasize the significance of winning. 2. How did the author feel when he arrived at the base camp? A. Excited and cautious. B. Nervous and unsure. C. Prepared and overconfident. D. Indifferent and uninterested. 3. Why did the author say that he “reframed my last-place finish as a victory” in para.6? A. To pretend to win despite actually losing. B. To emphasize his son’s good performance. C. To avoid embarrassment and mockery. D. To show his change and personal growth. 4. What is the main message conveyed through the author’s experience? A. The shame of finishing in last place. B. The importance of family’s encouragement. C. The value of perseverance and determination. D. The joy of participating in athletic events with family. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和儿子参加铁人三项，虽获最后一名，但他将此视为胜利，感悟到坚持和韧性比输赢更重要。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“My goal was simple: not to finish in the last place.(我的目标很简单：不要排在最后一名)”和第二段“Second to last? OK. So long as I was not the last. I wanted to avoid the shame and mockery (嘲笑) of a participation trophy (奖). After all, my son, Zane, would join it. I didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a loser.(倒数第二名呢？好的。只要我不是最后一个参赛者，我就想避免获得那种所谓的“参与奖”的耻辱和嘲笑。毕竟，我的儿子Zane也会和我一起参赛。我不想让他觉得自己的爸爸是个失败者)”可知，作者开头提及目标是为了解释自己不想丢脸的参赛动机。故选A项。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段“When we got to the base camp, I found these folks were well-prepared with sharply defined muscles. Don’t panic, I told myself, there must be a few even less prepared than I was.(当我们到达营地时，我发现这些人训练有素，肌肉线条分明。别慌，我对自己说，肯定还有人比我准备得更差)”可知，作者看到其他参赛者状态良好时自我安慰，体现出他紧张又不确定的心情。故选B项。 3.推理判断题。根据第六段“But on our way back, the embarrassment faded. My embarrassment was gradually replaced by pride. I had reframed my last-place finish as a victory.(但在我们返回的路上，这种尴尬感渐渐消失了。我的尴尬感逐渐被自豪感所取代。我把最后一名的成绩重新定义为胜利)”和最后一段“I’m not a loser. I’m a triathlete and a role model for my son! Persistence and resilience (韧性), that’s what I displayed. I was racing against myself instead of others.(我不是失败者。我是铁人三项运动员，也是我儿子的榜样！我展现出了坚持不懈和坚韧不拔的精神。我是在和自己赛跑，而不是和其他人比赛)”可知，作者将最后一名的结果重新定义为胜利，是为了体现自己的转变和个人成长。故选D项。 4.主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Persistence and resilience (韧性), that’s what I displayed. I was racing against myself instead of others. Plus, my son did great, placing somewhere in the middle. I love that. Also, there is something glorious about last place. I may not be a great athlete, but I am a champion at changing the narrative, which might be more useful than athletic ability.(我展现出了坚持不懈和坚韧不拔的精神。我是在和自己赛跑，而不是和其他人比赛。而且，我的儿子表现得也很出色，处于中等位置。我很喜欢这一点。此外，最后一名的成绩也有其光荣之处。我也许不是一位出色的运动员，但我是在改变叙事方面的大赢家，这可能比运动能力更有价值)”可知，作者虽然拿了最后一名，但他展示了坚持和韧性，这种精神比运动能力更有价值，因此核心主旨是坚持和决心的意义。故选C项。 Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江苏镇江·期末）When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health — and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being. A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle — as measured by cell phone activity — was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla. “There’s a qualified self, which is who I am, what my activities, my social network, my lifestyle, and my enjoyment are. All of these aspects are not reflected in any of these measurements,” Chawla says. “And they are strong determinants of my well-being.” A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. Gender and income didn’t seem to have a strong effect, but loneliness tended to decrease with age, perhaps because of the wisdom and perspective afforded by years of life lived, says Dr. Stuart Lustig, one of the report’s authors. Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” That advice is particularly important for young people, he says, for whom heavy social media use is common. Finally, Lustig stresses that even small social changes can have a large impact.Striking up post-meeting conversations with co-workers, or even engaging in micro-interactions with strangers, can make your social life feel more rewarding. 1. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1? A. To show social health is ignored by some people. B. To show social people like to do workouts with others. C. To prove many people tend to follow suit to improve their health. D. To prove more and more people have benefited from physical exercise. 2. What do we learn about fitness tracker data according to paragraph 2? A. They are out of date. B. They are more scientific. C. They can help realize the “qualified self”. D. They cannot reflect one’s overall health. 3. What did the 2019 study find? A. The overuse of social media could lead to loneliness. B. Old people felt lonelier than young people. C. Females feel happy more easily than males. D. Income had a great influence on people’s well-being. 4. What advice does Dr. Stuart Lustig give? A. Avoiding talking to strangers. B. Using social media as little as possible. C. Using technology for meaningful face-to-face interactions. D. Spending more time with like-minded young people. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. A 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍相关研究，指出社会健康(社交关系)对整体幸福感的重要性，分析了过度使用社交媒体可能导致孤独感，并建议利用技术寻求有意义的面对面互动以增进社交健康。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“When someone sets out to improve their health, they usually take a familiar path: starting a healthy diet, adopting a new workout plan, getting better sleep, or drinking more water. Each of these behaviors is important, of course, but they all focus on physical health — and a growing body of research suggests that social health is just as, if not more, important to overall well-being. (当人们着手改善健康时，他们通常走一条熟悉的路：开始健康饮食、采用新的锻炼计划、改善睡眠或喝更多水。当然，这些行为都很重要，但它们都关注身体健康——而越来越多的研究表明，社会健康对整体幸福感同样重要，甚至更重要)”可知，作者列举了人们通常关注的改善身体健康的行为，然后转折提出社会健康的重要性，其目的是为了揭示社会健康常被人们忽视。故选A项。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段中“A recent study found that the strength of a person’s social circle — as measured by cell phone activity — was a better predictor of self-reported stress, happiness and well-being levels than fitness tracker data on physical activity, heart rate and sleep. That finding suggests that the “quantified self” presented by endless amounts of health data doesn’t tell the whole story, says study co-author Nitesh Chawla.(最近一项研究发现，通过手机活动数据衡量的人际社交圈强度，比健身追踪器提供的体力活动、心率和睡眠数据更能准确预测人们自我报告的压力水平、幸福感与整体健康状态。该研究的合著者尼泰什·乔拉指出，这一发现表明，海量健康数据所呈现的“量化自我”并不能反映全貌)”可推知，健康追踪器数据(代表“量化自我”)并不能反映一个人的整体健康(如社会健康、幸福感等)。故选D项。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 2019 study set out to determine what’s driving those high rates of loneliness and found that social media, when used so much that it occupied face-to-face quality time, was tied to greater loneliness. (一项2019年的研究旨在确定是什么导致了高孤独感，结果发现，当社交媒体使用过多，占据了面对面高质量相处时间时，它与更强的孤独感相关)”可知，该研究发现过度使用社交媒体可能导致孤独感。故选A项。 4.细节理解题。根据第五段中“Lustig emphasizes that we should use technology “to seek out meaningful connections and people that you are able to keep in your social sphere (范围). It’s easy enough to find groups such as Meetups, which regularly organize offline gatherings, providing members with opportunities to interact, share, and participate in various activities in real life. Or through social media, you can find places to go where you’ll find folks doing what you want to do.” (拉斯特格强调，我们应当借助技术“去寻求有意义的联结，并维系那些能真正融入你社交范围的人。如今，寻找志同道合的群体已十分便捷——例如定期组织线下聚会的Meetup平台，能为成员提供真实互动、分享与参与多样化活动的机会；又或者通过社交媒体，你可以轻松发现适合前往的场所，在那里找到与你兴趣相投的人群”)”可知，拉斯特格博士建议利用线上平台组织线下聚会，即利用技术来促成有意义的面对面互动。故选C项。 Passage 6 （25-26高二上·重庆·期末）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you find yourself thinking, “I am a failure,” it’s important to know that there are things you can do to feel better. Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it. ___1___ First of all, it’s important to acknowledge that everybody fails at one time or another, but that doesn’t make us failures—it just means we are human, and that things didn’t work out this time. If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain. ___2___ So you should try to find out what does for you. Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning. Did you make a whole series of mistakes? Think about what you could do differently next time. ___3___ Instead of seeing a failure as a burden weighing you down, look at it as a stepping stone toward your goals. Once you’ve identified your mistakes and where you can learn from them, you’ll be ready to make a plan for moving forward. ___4___ Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking. “I am capable of trying again.” Create a plan that will help you put the information you gained into practice. If you’ve spent most of your life avoiding failure, it can feel really scary when it finally happens. Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort. ___5___ Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail. Over time, you’ll learn that failure isn’t as bad as you might imagine. A. Practice stepping outside your comfort zone. B. Not every coping skill works for everyone, though. C. These will provide you with some temporary relief. D. Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson. E. And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better. F. Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck. G. There are many reasons why you might be feeling like a failure. 【答案】1. E 2. B 3. D 4. F 5. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何以健康的方式面对失败。 1．根据空前的“Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way takes some of the fear out of it.(知道如何以一种健康的方式面对失败可以消除一些恐惧)”可知，知道如何以健康的方式面对失败能消除一些恐惧，此处讲述的是以一种健康的方式面对失败所带来的好处，E选项“And it helps reduce the pain so you can bounce back better.(它有助于减轻疼痛，这样你就能更好地恢复过来。)”继续陈述以一种健康的方式面对失败所带来的好处，承接空前的内容，其中的it指代空前的“Knowing how to cope (应对) with failure in a healthy way”。故选E项。 2.根据空前的“If you do feel like a failure, calling a friend, going for a walk, or playing with your pet are just a few examples of healthy ways to deal with your pain.(如果你真的觉得自己很失败，打电话给朋友，出去散步，或者和你的宠物一起玩，这些都是处理痛苦的健康方法)”可知，此处列举了一些面对失败的一些健康方法，结合空后的“So you should try to find out what does for you.(所以你应该试着找出什么适合你)”可知，此处建议找出适合自己的方法，根据so可知，此空处与空后的内容为因果关系，由此可知，此空处讲述的应是不适合所有的人，B选项“Not every coping skill works for everyone, though.(然而，并不是所有的应对技巧都适用于每个人。)”讲述的内容承接上文，且与空前内容为转折关系，与空后的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选B项。 3. 根据本段的主题句“Failure can be a great teacher if you’re open to learning.(如果你愿意学习，失败也可以是一位伟大的老师)”可知本段讲述的内容是学会从失败中学习，D选项“Then you can ensure your failure will become a life lesson.(然后你可以确保你的失败将成为人生的一课。)”中的a life lesson与主题句中的a great teacher相对应，且与空前的“Did you make a whole series of mistakes? Think about what you could do differently next time.(你犯了一连串的错误吗？想想你下次可以做些什么不同的事情)”为顺承关系，其中的then承接了空前的内容。故选D项。 4. 根据空后的“Stop thinking, “I am a failure.” and focus on thinking, “I am capable of trying again.”(不要再想“我是个失败者。”而是专注于思考“我有能力再试一次。”)”可知，此处指的是面对失败应如何思考，F选项“Remember that focusing on your problems will keep you stuck.(记住，专注于你的问题会让你陷入困境。)”讲述的是专注于问题会让自己陷入困境，与空后的内容一致，符合语境。故选F项。 5. 根据空前的“Facing your fears, however, can be the key to reducing the discomfort.(然而，面对你的恐惧，可能是减少不适的关键)”可知，此处建议去面对恐惧，这样能减少不适的感觉，根据空后的“Do things that might get you rejected or try new things where you could fail.(做一些可能会让你被拒绝的事情，或者尝试一些可能会失败的新事物)”可知，此处建议做一些可能被拒或者是尝试一些可能会失败的事情，空前和空后均是讲述的是建议积极面对恐惧，A选项“Practice stepping outside your comfort zone.(练习走出你的舒适区。)”讲述的是走出舒适区，与上下文内容吻合，均是讲述的积极面对恐惧或挫折，这样会减少面对失败的不适，符合语境。故选A项。 Passage 7 （25-26高一上·湖南长沙·期中）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项为多余选项。 Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. ____1____. Humans are masters of avoidance and denial. Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. ____2____. Without this initial acknowledgment, we remain trapped in our own denial, unable to move forward. People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. ____3____ . Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated. ____4____. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. ____5____. Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A. It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. B. They are just there and part of the knotted chaos. C. The overall benefits from tough work enable growth. D. Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger. E. However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized. F. Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term. G. These might include an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long-ignored conflict. 【答案】1. G 2. E 3. F 4. A 5. B 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在面对困难时我们应该怎么做。 1.G. 根据空前“Facing hard things is, well, hard. ……we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. (面对困难的事情很难。有时, 我们被迫改变，比如面对失败时；然而，在大多数情况下，我们可能会认识到需要关注的困难，但感到不堪重负，无法解决这些问题)”可知, G 项“它们可能包括了一种过时的习惯、一段令人烦恼的回忆，或者是长期被忽视的冲突。”中的 These 指代前句中的 difficulties, 用来举例说明这样的困难可能会是些什么，能够承接前文，故选 G 项。 2.E. 本 段 主 旨 是 “Humans are masters of avoidance and denial. Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. ”(人类擅长回避和否认。一些人自欺欺人地认为真的没问题。) 后文通过老鼠来比喻，“这就像有人试图通过按住移动的毯子边缘， 将活跃的老鼠控制在毯子下。尽管很可怕，但还是需要拉开毯子让老鼠出来。一旦老鼠被释放，将它们带出房子可能会面临进一步的挑战。” 以此说明不能回避问题。下文中的“this initial acknowledgment”可看出前文应该提及“认识到问题”。 E 项“然而，如果不先认识到问题，就无法面对问题。”能够承上启下故选 E 项。 3.F. 根据空前“Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to……Facing issues is like ...”(逃避或离开这种情况似乎可以解决问题，但无法解决根本原因。与其反复除草，趴在地上拔根反而更有效。面对问题就像为新的开始挖掘根基，以便其开花结果。)”可知 F 项“快速解决可能会提供短期的轻松，但无法提供长期的轻松。”能够呼应前文, 总结全段，故选 F。 4.A. 根据空前主旨句“Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated.(改变一个人的生活是困难而复杂的。)”和空后“Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot.( 仅仅用力拉一根线实际上会把结拉得更紧)”可知，此空处需要把生活中的改变与 A 项“…一团缠绕在一起的电线”作类比，A 项中的 it 指代前句中的“making changes”，故选 A 项。 5.B. 根据空前“We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves.(我们不能指望电线会自动松动或解开)”可知，A 项“它们就在那里，是缠绕着的混乱的一部分。”是前文的顺义承接，A 项中的 they 指代前文的“wires”, “the knotted chaos”指代前文缠绕的线。故选 B 项。 Passage 8 （24-25高一下·河北衡水·开学考）Life is a road full of minor inconveniences and major setbacks, which everyone faces regardless of wealth or social rank.

What began as a seemingly 3 “lifestyle change” turned into an eating disorder. I spent more time weighing rice, cakes and other foods than studying. To eat “ 4 ” meals at home, I often turned down social gatherings. Over 9 months, as my stress and anxiety 5 , I ate smaller and smaller dishes and refused my 6 the food it needed. Sometimes I would almost black out upon standing. My family and adviser asked whether I was OK and 7 time away from my lab, but I 8 believed I was making myself better. I didn’t put a name to the problem until I came across an article about disordered eating. I finally sought the help of a(n) 9 . He told me that my eating disorder had 10 to do with food, exercise or weight. 11 , it was about my desire to be exceptional. Through weekly treatment, I let go 25 years of needing to be 12 . I learned tools to acknowledge and process my feelings, not by means of controlling calories. Now, having been on the road back to 13 for one year and a half, I enter my final year of graduate school with a completely 14 mindset(心态) about the person I want — rather than need — to be. Yes, I still want to 15 . But I don’t want to seek perfection any more. 1．A．fool B．failure C．loss D．patient 2．A．diet B．journey C．exercise D．weight 3．A．harmless B．timely C．easy D．wonderful 4．A．cheap B．delicious C．healthy D．various 5．A．raised B．disappeared C．increased D．widened 6．A．system B．spirit C．mouth D．stomach 7．A．took B．passed C．saved D．suggested 8．A．hardly B．strongly C．finally D．nearly 9．A．adviser B．doctor C．professor D．scientist 10．A．anything B．everything C．nothing D．something 11．A．Instead B．However C．Therefore D．Otherwise 12．A．determined B．perfect C．popular D．healthy 13．A．growth B．fitness C．competition D．expectation 14．A．different B．special C．scientific D．simple 15．A．explore B．learn C．succeed D．change 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．D 7．D 8．B 9．B 10．C 11．A 12．B 13．B 14．A 15．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一次考试失败，为了应对内心的紧张焦虑开始了节食，导致饮食混乱，最后作者改变追求完美性成功的心态，并且顺利地从研究生学校毕业。 1．考查名词词义辨析。句意：突然间，我觉得自己是个失败者。A. fool傻瓜；B. failure失败者；C. loss失去，损失；D. patient病人。根据前文“I failed my chemistry exam”可知，作者在化学考试中不及格，因此认为自己是个失败者。故选B项。 2．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我开始节食以应对追求完美而带来的压力和焦虑。A. diet饮食；B. journey旅程；C. exercise锻炼；D. weight体重。根据后文“an eating disorder（饮食紊乱）”可知，作者开始节食了。故选A项。 3．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：一开始看似无害的“生活方式改变”变成了饮食紊乱。A. harmless无害的；B. timely及时的；C. easy容易的；D. wonderful极好的。根据前文“What began as a seemingly”和后文“ “lifestyle change” turned into an eating disorder”可知，begin与turn into存在转折关系，故一开始是无害的。故选A项。 4．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：为了在家吃“健康”的饭菜，我经常拒绝社交聚餐。A. cheap便宜的；B. delicious美味的；C. healthy健康的；D. various各种各样的。根据前文“I started to go on a(n) _____”以及作者的节食意图可知，节食的人讲究的是饭菜的健康。故选C项。 5．考查动词词义辨析。句意：9个多月以来，随着压力和焦虑的增长，我吃的菜越来越少，拒绝给予我的胃所需要的食物。A. raised提高；B. disappeared消失；C. increased增加，增长；D. widened加宽。根据后文“I ate smaller and smaller dishes”可知，作者吃的饭菜越来越少，由此推知，作者的压力与焦虑不断增长影响了食欲。故选C项。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：9个多月以来，随着压力和焦虑的增加，我吃的菜越来越少，拒绝给我的胃提供所需要的食物。A. system体系；B. spirit精神；C. mouth嘴；D. stomach胃。根据语境和前文“I ate smaller and smaller dishes”以及下文的“it needed”可知，作者吃得原来越少，无法满足胃所需要的事物。故选D项。 7．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的家人和导师问我是否还好，并建议我离开实验室一段时间，但我坚信我正在让自己变得更好。A. took拿；B. passed通过；C. saved拯救；D. suggested建议。根据上文“Sometimes I would almost black out upon standing.（有时候我一站着就会晕倒）”可知，家人和导师建议作者多休息，不去实验室。故选D项。 8．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我的家人和导师问我是否还好，并建议我离开实验室一段时间，但我坚信我正在让自己变得更好。A. hardly几乎不；B. strongly强烈地；C. finally最后；D. nearly几乎。根据前文“My family and adviser asked whether I was OK and _____ time away from my lab, but”此处but可知，前后明显的转折关系，此处为作者坚信自己会变得更好。故选B项。 9．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我最后向一位医生寻求帮助。A. adviser顾问；B. doctor医生；C. professor教授；D. scientist科学家。根据前文“turned into an eating disorder”和“I didn’t put a name to the problem until I came across an article about disordered eating.”可知，作者的饮食失调，直到作者看到一篇关于饮食失调的文章，才意识到问题的严重性，由此推知，病人生病了应该求助于医生。故选B项。 10．考查不定代词词义辨析。句意：他告诉我，我的饮食失调与食物、运动或体重无关。A. anything任何东西；B. everything每件事；C. nothing没有；D. something某事。根据后文“it was about my desire to be exceptional”可知，它与我想要与众不同的愿望有关，由此推知，我的饮食混乱与食物、运动或体重无关，have nothing to do with意为“与某事无关”。故选C项。 11．考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，它与我想要与众不同的愿望有关。A.
