Unit 1 Laugh out Loud！ 外刊拓展提升（多题型专练） 识·单元要点概览 读·外刊拓展阅读 （来源：BBC Learning English）What things make you laugh? There are many things that make us chuckle or burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy, we find something humorous or even that we're just a barrel of laughs! Laughter is a very primitive way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises – from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts – and each sound reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air under high pressure. Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious, especially between friends. Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist, told the BBC that it's “a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like.” She defines two types of laughter – spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter – where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good laugh can help our body and mind – it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That's why laughter therapy is being used as an alternative to conventional treatments. 【全文翻译】 什么事情会让你发笑？有很多事情能让我们轻声偷笑或突然大笑起来。这种自然的情绪表达传递出信号——我们很开心，觉得某件事很幽默，甚至表明我们是个特别有趣的人。笑是一种非常原始的发声方式。当我们笑的时候，会发出各种奇怪的声音——从喘息声、尖细的吱吱声到倒吸气声和鼻息声——每种声音都反映了胸部肌肉在高压下挤出空气的过程。大多数时候，我们的笑是不由自主的且具有感染力的，尤其是在朋友之间。神经科学家索菲·斯科特告诉BBC说，笑是"一种社交情绪，和我们喜欢的人一起笑更好"。她定义了两种类型的笑——自发性的笑，即我们瞬间且无法控制地笑出来；以及对话中的笑，即我们和朋友一起笑。研究发现，平均而言，人们在每十分钟的对话中会笑七次。虽然我们的健康不是开玩笑的事，但研究发现，开怀大笑对身心健康都有帮助——它能让我们感觉良好、放松身体，还有助于应对疼痛、增强免疫系统。这就是为什么笑声疗法正被用作传统治疗的一种替代方式。 【核心词汇】 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 ① laugh v. 笑；发笑 ② happy adj. 快乐的；幸福的 ③ sound n. 声音；响声 ④ friend n. 朋友 ⑤ talk v. 说话；交谈 ⑥ feel v. 感觉；觉得 ⑦ relax v. 放松；休息 ⑧ body n. 身体 ⑨ mind n. 头脑；思维 ⑩ help v. 帮助；有助于 ⑪ smile v. 微笑 ⑫ together adv. 一起；共同 ⑬ social adj. 社交的；社会的 ⑭ health n. 健康 ⑮ research n. 研究；调查 ⑯ improve v. 改善；提高 ⑰ pain n. 疼痛；痛苦 ⑱ treatment n. 治疗；对待 ⑲ natural adj. 自然的；天生的 ⑳ scientist n. 科学家 【长难句分析】 1.Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist, told the BBC that it's "a social emotion" and that it's better to laugh with people we like. 句意： 神经科学家索菲·斯科特告诉BBC说，笑是"一种社交情绪"，并且和我们喜欢的人一起笑更好。 分析： 本句中Sophie Scott是主语，a neuroscientist是其同位语，对其身份进行补充说明；told是谓语，the BBC是间接宾语，后面接两个由that引导的并列宾语从句（that it's "a social emotion"和that it's better to laugh with people we like）作直接宾语；在第二个宾语从句中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是to laugh with people we like，其中we like是定语从句修饰先行词people。 2. Research found that, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. 句意： 研究发现，平均而言，人们在每十分钟的对话中会笑七次。 分析： 本句中Research found是主谓结构；that引导宾语从句，作found的宾语；on average是插入语，意为"平均而言"；seven times和for every ten minutes of conversation分别表示频率和时间范围。 练·能力培优拔高 培优提升篇 Passage 1 In a world where tech companies often compete to create the next productivity tool, a new device is breaking away from the pack. Meet Friend: a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck. The small device records your every word and interaction and responds accordingly by text. They cost $ 99 and are expected to ship out in early 2025. The device comes at a time when loneliness and social isolation (孤独) are at record highs. Studies indicate that 61% of young people in the U. S. suffer from serious loneliness, a statistic that reveals a growing mental health crisis. While AI reshapes all the ways we interact in jobs, healthcare and entertainment — more and more people report feeling socially isolated, Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by. AI companionship is controversial (有争议的). While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes, why would you continue to subject yourself to them when you have an AI friend who’s fun and uncomplicated, and doesn’t come with all the baggage of another person? But so far, the research doesn’t seem to support this fear. Drake-Maples at Stanford University surveyed more than 1,000 students who used the AI chatbot Replika, and investigated their feelings of loneliness and perceived social support. Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice. It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says. These could be gentle reminders like “Hey, you should go chat with somebody about that” or “Go practice this now with a real human.” 1．What is Meet Friend aimed at? A．Replacing human relationships. B．Boosting the productivity at work. C．Offering a new approach to connection. D．Detecting early symptoms of mental illness. 2．What does the underlined part “the thinking” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．AI helps avoid life’s stress. B．It’s easy to communicate with an AI friend. C．AI worsens feelings of loneliness. D．Human relationships are hard to keep. 3．What is Drake-Maples’ attitude towards AI companionship? A．Cautious. B．Unclear. C．Disapproving. D．Supportive. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Will AI change human nature? B．Will AI redefine mental health crisis? C．Can we trust an AI friend? D．Can an AI friend make us less lonely? 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章主要说明了一款颈戴AI伴侣Meet Friend问世，旨在缓解高发孤独。人们对其利弊存有争议，相关研究证实它能舒缓情绪，但专家呼吁出台伦理规范引导人们维系真人社交。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“While AI reshapes all the ways we interact in jobs, healthcare and entertainment — more and more people report feeling socially isolated, Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by.(尽管人工智能正在改变我们在工作、医疗和娱乐中的各种互动方式，但越来越多的人表示自己感到社会孤立。Meet Friend的创始人希夫曼对此持不同看法：这种设备并非取代人际关系，而是一种弥补人际陪伴缺失的方式，尤其在人类社交难以获得时显得尤为重要)”可知，Meet Friend的创始人强调该设备并非替代人际关系，而是在人际陪伴稀缺时填补空白，其目标是提供一种新的连接方式。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes (虽然有些人，比如Schiffmann，认为它可以帮助人们减少孤立感，但其他人担心人工智能关系可能会取代真正的人际关系，从而使人们感到更加孤独。如果你是一个已经在与人类互动方面苦苦挣扎的人，那么这种想法就会发生)”可知，划线的the thinking(这种想法)指代前文争议观点：若人们依赖轻松有趣的AI朋友，可能逃避现实中复杂的人际互动，进而加剧孤独感。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice.(这些用户中大约有一半报告说焦虑减轻，并有一种社会支持的感觉。近四分之一的受访者表示，由于Replika的建议，他们更能应对当前关系中的压力)”和最后一段中“It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says.(尽管这仍是一个新兴领域，但德雷克-马普尔斯表示，有必要制定相关准则。“我坚信，在适当情况下，人工智能伴侣应具备伦理规范，以避免将人们拒之门外，从而促进人际关系的建立。”她说道)”可知，Drake Maples虽提到AI对部分用户有积极作用，但强调需制定伦理指南，并推动AI提醒用户回归真实关系，体现其谨慎态度。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a world where tech companies often compete to create the next productivity tool, a new device is breaking away from the pack. Meet Friend: a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck. The small device records your every word and interaction and responds accordingly by text. They cost $ 99 and are expected to ship out in early 2025.(在一个科技公司争相开发下一代生产力工具的时代，一款新设备正脱颖而出。它就是Friend：一款可佩戴在脖子上的全新AI智能伴侣。这款小巧的设备能记录你的每一句话和每一次互动，并通过文字形式做出相应回应。售价为99美元，预计将于2025年初上市)”结合文章主要说明了一款颈戴AI伴侣Meet Friend问世，旨在缓解高发孤独。人们对其利弊存有争议，相关研究证实它能舒缓情绪，但专家呼吁出台伦理规范引导人们维系真人社交。可知，D选项“人工智能朋友能让我们不那么孤独吗”最符合文章标题。 Passage 2 You might have seen it — maybe sitting on a desk, or looking at you from a clear box like a curious little creature — The Labubu doll. As a family therapist and mom of teens, I notice these funny-looking collectible toys actually help us understand young people’s feelings. If we pay attention, we’ll see something important: Our kids are going through the tough but amazing journey of growing up. Labubu’s charm isn’t about looks, but what it represents. It’s odd but interesting — just like being a teenager. At this age, kids are pulled between opposites: independence and dependence, fitting in and standing out, childlike play and teenage complexity. Labubu’s design shows these struggles. Its big eyes, wild smile, and crazy expression mirror the emotional chaos teens feel while figuring out who they are. During development, young people often prefer unusual or striking things, not because they’re troubled, but because they’re learning to balance complicated emotions. Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery” — a process where individuals gain control over confusion or fear by owning related objects. When something catches your eye but isn’t too scary, it’s perfect for practicing emotional strength. Another key aspect is blind boxes. Labubu’s sealed packaging offers occasional rewards through uncertainty. Beyond excitement, it provides a safe context for teens to embrace surprises. This strengthens symbolic mastery: “I can handle not knowing. I can bear tension. I accept uncertainty.” Of course, it’s not just about pleasure. It’s also about connection. Labubu acts as a social signal: “Look, I got the rare one!” Such items convey belonging, showing that one understands the trend and fits in. While often seen negatively, peer pressure here marks a key developmental step. Learning to read social rules and bond with friends are signs of growing up. Thus, when your child wants a Labubu because “others have it”, it is a healthy desire for inclusion. You need not agree, but understanding the psychology behind matters. 1．What does Labubu’s design reflect? A．Fancy trend of collectible toys. B．The inner conflict of teenagers. C．Daily uncertainties teens face. D．The desire of teens for freedom. 2．Which of the following best demonstrates “symbolic mastery”? A．A person with stage fright refuses to perform. B．A child plays with a toy fire engine after a fire. C．A nervous student stays up late for a final exam. D．An employee takes online courses to get promoted. 3．What might the author advise parents to do on teens’ collectible purchases? A．Teach them how to fit in. B．Follow the social trend. C．Decline them immediately. D．Value their inner needs. 4．What does the text mainly discuss about the Labubu doll? A．Its various designs. B．The secret of its success. C．Its psychological value. D．Concerns about its impact. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Labubu玩偶深受青少年喜爱，从心理学角度分析其背后反映的青少年内心冲突与情感成长价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At this age, kids are pulled between opposites: independence and dependence, fitting in and standing out, childlike play and teenage complexity. Labubu’s design shows these struggles. Its big eyes, wild smile, and crazy expression mirror the emotional chaos teens feel while figuring out who they are.(在这个年龄，孩子们在对立之间挣扎：独立与依赖、融入与出众、孩童般的玩乐与青少年的复杂情绪。Labubu的设计展现了这些挣扎。它的大眼睛、放肆的笑容和夸张的表情反映出青少年在寻找自我时的情绪混乱。)”可知，Labubu的设计反映了青少年的内心冲突。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery” — a process where individuals gain control over confusion or fear by owning related objects. (心理学家称之为“象征性掌控”——个体通过拥有相关物品来掌控困惑或恐惧的过程。)”可知，火灾后孩子玩玩具消防车，是通过相关物品掌控对火灾的恐惧，最能体现“象征性掌控”。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Thus, when your child wants a Labubu because “others have it”, it is a healthy desire for inclusion. You need not agree, but understanding the psychology behind matters. (因此，当你的孩子因为“别人都有”而想要Labubu时，这是一种健康的融入渴望。你不必同意，但理解背后的心理很重要。)”可知，作者建议父母重视孩子的内心需求。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“As a family therapist and mom of teens, I notice these funny-looking collectible toys actually help us understand young people’s feelings.(作为一名家庭治疗师和青少年的母亲，我注意到这些看起来有趣的收藏玩具实际上能帮助我们理解年轻人的感受。)”和第二段中的“Labubu’s charm isn’t about looks, but what it represents.(Labubu的魅力不在于外表，而在于它所代表的意义。)”以及第三、四段对“象征性掌控”的分析可知，文章主要从心理学角度探讨Labubu玩偶的价值。故选C项。 Passage 3 The feeling of love is the very best feeling in the world. Love is always available, as available as the air we breathe. Yet most people do not go through their days filled with love, joy and peace. Instead, they feel empty and alone, and often turn to various addictions to fill the emptiness. One of the addictions many people turn to is getting love from others. Believing that people need to be their source of love, they try in various ways to gain control over getting love from others. Through physical appearance, accomplishments, threats, anger and blame, people try to manipulate (操纵) others into giving them the love, attention and approval they need. Sometimes this works for the moment, but like food, it is only for the moment. Other people try to get filled through the giving of love. The problem here is that unless you are first bringing love into yourself and then sharing your love from a full place within, the giving of love becomes just another manipulation to get love. This is caretaking — giving to get. It does not lead to feeling filled up with love, peace and joy. Rather, it leads to feeling drained, used and resentful (气愤的), since rarely do others give back the love you hope for. The highest experience in life with another person is the sharing of love. It is truly an amazing experience. It can happen in person, over the phone and on social media. Time and place are irrelevant—love is an energy that can be experienced from any distance. A circle of love is experienced when two or more people are sharing love from a full place within. If you have never had the experience of sharing love, you may not realize what you are missing. I hope you keep in mind that only by doing your inner work will you ever be able to experience the greatest experience on the planet — the sharing of love! 1．What does the author think of getting people to give love? A．It is practical. B．It won’t last long. C．It is reliable. D．It never fails. 2．Why does giving love cause negative feelings? A．It doesn’t produce desired results. B．It leads to a person being misunderstood. C．It calls for constant caring for others. D．It ends up with an empty place within. 3．What can be learned about sharing love? A．It occurs in a fixed way. B．It takes time to see its effects. C．It involves more complicated context. D．It goes beyond time and space. 4．What does the author intend to do in the text? A．Define happiness. B．Seek the missing self. C．Provide guidance. D．Encourage reflection. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了爱的感受与表达方式。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Sometimes this works for the moment, but like food, it is only for the moment.(有时这种方法能暂时奏效，但就像食物一样，那只是片刻的满足。)”可知，作者认为让他人给予爱这一行为不会持续很久。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Rather, it leads to feeling drained, used and resentful (气愤的), since rarely do others give back the love you hope for.(相反，这会导致你感到精疲力竭、被利用以及心怀怨恨，因为很少有人会像你所期望的那样回报你的爱。)”可知，给予爱会引发负面情绪是因为它没有产生期望的结果。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Time and place are irrelevant — love is an energy that can be experienced from any distance. A circle of love is experienced when two or more people are sharing love from a full place within.(时间和地点无关紧要——爱是一种能量，无论相隔多远都能被感知。当两个或两个以上的人从内心充盈着爱的地方分享爱时，便能体验到爱的循环。)”可知，关于分享爱，我们可以了解到它超越了时间和空间。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“I hope you keep in mind that only by doing your inner work will you ever be able to experience the greatest experience on the planet — the sharing of love!(我希望你能记住，只有通过完成内心的修炼，你才能真正体验到这个星球上最伟大的体验——那就是爱的分享！)”可知，本文主要探讨了爱的感受与表达方式，提供指导。故选C。 Passage 4 Words escape you. Your skin tingles. You are overwhelmed by how small and insignificant you really are, bursting with an indescribable feeling — this is awe. 1 Astronauts report this feeling when facing the vastness of space, an experience that may reshape their attitude toward life on Earth. Awe can be both positive and negative. If you’ve ever been moved by something immense and beautiful like splendid mountains or sunsets, you’ve likely experienced a sense of calm and wonder. That’s positive awe. 2 Things like natural disasters often leave us filled with terror and a sense of insignificance. What happens in the brain when we experience awe? When we feel awe, brain activity linked to self-focus decreases. 3 This may explain why you tend to “feel small” when you experience awe. But positive and negative awe may have different effects on our nervous system. Negative awe is associated with sympathetic nervous system activity, which drives our “fight or flight” response. Positive awe, however, is associated with increased parasympathetic (副交感的) activity. 4 Neuroscience suggests positive awe benefits mental health in five ways — relaxing the nervous system, reducing self-focus, inspiring willingness to help others, strengthening social connections and enriching life meaning. 5 One way to start is by taking “awe walks”. These involve walking with the intention of noticing beauty, vastness and wonder. You can also enjoy meditation, art or just lose yourself in the roar of a crowd. A．So, how can you actively cultivate awe? B．Not all new experiences will arouse awe. C．This reduces heart rate, making us feel calmer. D．Negative awe occurs when we feel threatened or powerless. E．It shifts away from yourself towards processing external information. F．It is sometimes described as an experience at the boundary of pleasure and fear. G．As a complex emotion, awe arises when enormous things go beyond our understanding. 【答案】1．G 2．D 3．E 4．C 5．A 【导语】文章介绍了敬畏的定义、积极与消极两种类型、大脑机制及其对心理健康的益处，并提出了主动培养敬畏的方法。 【详解】1．上一段具体描述了敬畏的感觉，下文“Astronauts report this feeling when facing the vastness of space, an experience that may reshape their attitude toward life on Earth. (宇航员在面对浩瀚的太空时会报告这种感受，这种经历可能会改变他们对地球生命的看法。)”提到宇航员面对太空浩瀚时的体验，此处需引出敬畏的定义或来源，因此G项“As a complex emotion, awe arises when enormous things go beyond our understanding. (作为一种复杂的情感，当巨大的事物超出我们的理解时，敬畏就会产生。)”符合语境，解释了敬畏产生的条件，衔接上文，下文是对其举例说明，其中的enormous things呼应下文的vastness of space。 2．上文“If you’ve ever been moved by something immense and beautiful like splendid mountains or sunsets, you’ve likely experienced a sense of calm and wonder. That’s positive awe. (如果你曾被壮丽的山川或日落等宏伟而美丽的景象所打动，那么你很可能体验过一种宁静与惊叹的感觉。这就是积极的敬畏之情。)”介绍了积极敬畏，下文“Things like natural disasters often leave us filled with terror and a sense of insignificance. (自然灾害常常让我们感到恐惧和渺小无力。)”举例自然灾害带来恐惧和渺小感，属于消极敬畏，此处应给出消极敬畏的定义，因此D项“Negative awe occurs when we feel threatened or powerless. (当我们感到威胁或无力时，就会产生消极敬畏。)”符合语境，从积极敬畏转到消极敬畏，下文对其举例说明。 3．上文“When we feel awe, brain activity linked to self-focus decreases. (当我们感到敬畏时，与自我关注相关的脑部活动会减弱。)”提到大脑中与自我关注相关的活动减少，下文“This may explain why you tend to “feel small” when you experience awe. (这或许可以解释为什么当你体验到敬畏时，往往会“感觉渺小”。)”引出敬畏感关联的“感觉渺小”，此处需说明注意力转移的方向，因此E项“It shifts away from yourself towards processing external information. (它将注意力从自身转向处理外部信息。)”符合语境，与“自我关注减少”形成因果关系，为下文的“感到渺小”提供解释，选项内容是下文This指代的对象。 4．上文“Negative awe is associated with sympathetic nervous system activity, which drives our “fight or flight” response. Positive awe, however, is associated with increased parasympathetic (副交感的) activity. (消极敬畏与交感神经系统的活动相关，这种活动会引发我们的“战斗或逃跑”反应。而积极敬畏则与副交感神经活动增强有关。)”介绍消极敬畏关联的神经系统及其引起的生理效果，并指出积极敬畏关联的另一神经系统，此处应说明其生理效果，因此C项“This reduces heart rate, making us feel calmer. (这降低了心率，让我们感到更平静。)”符合语境，承接上文，其中的This指代上文的increased parasympathetic activity。 5．上文“Neuroscience suggests positive awe benefits mental health in five ways — relaxing the nervous system, reducing self-focus, inspiring willingness to help others, strengthening social connections and enriching life meaning. (神经科学研究表明，积极的敬畏感通过五种方式有益于心理健康——放松神经系统、减少自我关注、激发助人意愿、增强社会联系以及丰富生命意义。)”总结积极敬畏对心理健康的益处，下文“One way to start is by taking “awe walks”. These involve walking with the intention of noticing beauty, vastness and wonder. You can also enjoy meditation, art or just lose yourself in the roar of a crowd. (一种开始的方式是进行“惊叹漫步”。这种散步的目的是用心去感受美、辽阔与奇妙。你也可以享受冥想、欣赏艺术，或者只是沉浸于人群的喧闹之中。)”提出培养敬畏的具体方法，此处需要一个过渡句引出如何主动培养敬畏，因此A项“So, how can you actively cultivate awe? (那么，如何主动培养敬畏呢？)”符合语境，承上启下，引出下文的建议。 Passage 5 Developing a sense of gratitude isn’t difficult or challenging. 1 And the more you practice it, the better you’ll become at putting yourself into a grateful state of mind. Here are some tips on how to do this. Observe the moment. Take a second to focus on your experience and how you are feeling. At the same time, think about the things you appreciate. 2 Are there particular things helping you manage your stress, feel good about your life, or achieve what you need to do? You may also find the practice of mindfulness, which focuses on becoming more aware of the present moment, a helpful tool. Write it down. 3 So starting a gratitude journal might be helpful. Write down a few things you’re thankful for each day in the journal. Being able to look back on these observations can help a lot when you are in a hard time. Enjoy the moment. Give yourself time to really enjoy the moment. Focus on the experience and allow yourself to enjoy those good feelings. Concentrate on the senses and feelings you’re experiencing in a given moment. 4 Give thanks. Gratitude is all about recognizing and appreciating those people, things, moments, skills, or gifts that bring joy, peace, or comfort into our lives. 5 You might write a thank-you note to a person to show your thankfulness, or you might spend a moment simply mentally appreciating what you have. Expressing your appreciation for others is an important part that can affect your relationships with others. A．Show your appreciation to them. B．How often do you experience gratitude? C．It doesn’t need any special tools or training. D．Check your senses and think about what helps. E．Are there people who have done something for you? F．Gratitude can improve people’s lives for several reasons. G．Sometimes you may find you are struggling to feel grateful. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．G 4．D 5．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了培养感恩之心的方法，包括关注当下、写感恩日记、享受当下和表达感谢等建议。 【详解】1．由上文“Developing a sense of gratitude isn’t difficult or challenging. (培养感恩之心并不困难，也不具有挑战性。)”及下文“And the more you practice it, the better you’ll become at putting yourself into a grateful state of mind. (你练习得越多，你就越能让自己进入感恩的心态。)”可知，上文说明培养感恩之心不难，下文强调练习的重要性，本空应说明培养感恩之心不需要特殊工具或训练。C选项“它不需要任何特殊的工具或训练。”能承上启下，符合语境。 2．由上文“Take a second to focus on your experience and how you are feeling. At the same time, think about the things you appreciate. (花点时间关注你的经历和感受。同时，想想你感激的事情。)”及下文“Are there particular things helping you manage your stress, feel good about your life, or achieve what you need to do?(有什么特别的东西帮助你管理压力、对生活感觉良好或完成你需要做的事吗？)”可知，上文说明要关注自己的经历和感受，想想感激的事情，下文通过举例说明要关注哪些方面，本空应说明要检查自己的感官，思考什么对自己有帮助，应是与下文并列的问题。E项“有没有人为你做过什么？”能承上启下，符合语境。 3．由上文“So starting a gratitude journal might be helpful. Write down a few things you’re thankful for each day in the journal. (所以开始写感恩日记可能会有帮助。在日记中写下你每天感谢的几件事。)”可知，下文建议写感恩日记，空格处应说明需要写感恩日记的原因。G选项“有时你可能会发现自己很难感到感激。”能引出下文，符合语境。 4．由上文“Concentrate on the senses and feelings you’re experiencing in a given moment. (专注于你在当下所感受到的感官体验和情绪。)”及本段主题“Enjoy the moment. (享受当下。)”可知，上文强调专注当下的感官和情绪，本空应承接这一话题，进一步说明具体做法。D选项“审视你的感官感受，思考是什么在帮助你。”能承上启下，符合语境。 5．由上文“Gratitude is all about recognizing and appreciating those people, things, moments, skills, or gifts that bring joy, peace, or comfort into our lives. (感恩就是认识并珍惜那些给我们的生活带来快乐、平静或安慰的人、事物、时刻、技能或礼物。)”及下文“You might write a thank-you note to a person to show your thankfulness, or you might spend a moment simply mentally appreciating what you have. (你可以给某人写一封感谢信来表达你的感激之情，或者你可以花一点时间在心里珍惜你所拥有的一切。)”可知，上文说明感恩的核心是珍惜带来美好感受的人或事物，下文给出具体的表达感恩的方式，本空应总领下文，提出要向那些带来积极影响的人表达感激。A选项“向他们表达你的感激之情。”能承上启下，符合语境。 Passage 6 Growing up as an immigrant (移民), I spent most of my life trying to please everyone around me. I was the girl who 1 her dreams to fit what others expected.  At home, I fully obey my parents, afraid of 2 them who had given up so much to move to a new country. At school, I laughed at jokes I didn’t find funny and agreed with ideas I didn’t 3 to avoid making anyone uncomfortable. For years, this habit followed me into my 4 . I took on work that didn’t excite me, and turned down promotion opportunities that truly matched my 5 , thinking putting others first was the only way to be 6 . But deep down, I was living a life that wasn’t really mine. I was tired of hiding my ambitions, my opinions and my true personality just to keep the 7 . One day, I hit a breaking point. I looked in the mirror and realized I didn’t 8 the person staring back at me — someone who had sacrificed her happiness for the 9 from others. That day, I made a promise to myself: I would stop trying to please everyone and start 10 myself.

Throughout my teenage years, I often watched my classmates get attention while I remained in the background, quietly hoping to be noticed, 1 I consistently excelled in my studies. The strong desire 2 (stand) out pushed me towards a regrettable decision. One day in the IT lab, our teacher pointed out that several computer parts 3 (steal). Curious looks passed among us, and everyone wondered how it could happen in a locked lab. “It’s possible to open that lock with another key,” I said. Instantly, eyes turned to me with newfound interest and curiosity. 4 unexpected wave of excitement came over me. 5 (enjoy) all the eyes on me, I demonstrated how to open the lock. Little did I realize that the moment 6 I took the spotlight would ruin everything. The following day, called to the headmaster’s office, I found myself 7 (accuse) of stealing the missing parts. “I didn’t do it, sir,” I argued, but suspicion clouded his eyes. His repeated questioning became far 8 (intense), pushing me to the edge of fear and tears. In a desperate attempt to escape the mounting pressure, I falsely confessed(承认). The headmaster asked my father to come to school, and I felt relieved yet ashamed as I noticed his shaky faith in me. My father gently asked me 9 I understood the gravity of my actions. Tearfully, I confessed my misguided longing for recognition. In the headmaster’s office, my father listened attentively, and then spoke with quiet authority: “I trust my son. He is not a thief.” 10 my father’s support, I wouldn’t have learned a valuable lesson: attention cannot be forced; true recognition comes from honourable acts. 【答案】 1．although/though 2． to stand 3．had been stolen 4．An 5．Enjoying 6．when 7．accused 8．more intense 9．whether/if 10．Without 【导语】文章讲述了作者青少年时期为了获得关注而做出了一个令人遗憾的决定，结果被怀疑偷窃并被迫承认。在父亲无条件的信任和支持下，作者最终学到了一个宝贵的教训：真正的认可来自于光荣的行为，而不是强求来的关注。   【详解】1．考查让步状语从句。句意：在我整个青少年时期，我经常看着我的同学们获得关注，而我却待在背景中，默默地希望被注意到，尽管我在学习上一直表现优异。根据句意可知，“待在背景中希望被注意”与“学习一直表现优异”之间是让步关系，表示“尽管、虽然”，应用although或though。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：想要脱颖而出的强烈渴望促使我做出了一个令人遗憾的决定。本句中已有谓语动词pushed，空格处作后置定语修饰名词desire。固定搭配the desire to do sth.意为“做某事的渴望”，空处应用动词不定式。 3．考查动词的时态和语态。句意：有一天在信息技术实验室里，我们的老师指出几台电脑的零件被偷了。主句谓语pointed out发生在过去，而偷窃动作发生在“指出”之前，即“过去的过去”，需用过去完成时“had done”；且 parts与steal之间是被动关系，需用被动语态“had been done”，steal的过去分词为stolen。 4．考查冠词。句意：一股意想不到的兴奋感向我袭来。wave在此处作可数名词，表示“一阵(感觉、情绪等)”，此处泛指“一股意想不到的兴奋感”，且unexpected的发音以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。句首单词首字母需大写。 5．考查非谓语动词。句意：享受着所有人的目光，我演示了如何打开那把锁。本句已有谓语动词demonstrated，空格处作伴随状语，且逻辑主语I与enjoy之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式。 6．考查定语从句。句意：我几乎没有意识到，我成为焦点的那一刻会毁掉一切。空格处引导定语从句，先行词是the moment，关系词在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when引导。 7．考查非谓语动词。句意：第二天，我被叫到校长办公室，发现自己被指控偷了丢失的零件。此处为“find oneself + 宾语补足语”的结构，意为“发现自己处于某种状态”，accuse与逻辑主语myself之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾语补足语。 8．考查形容词比较级。句意：他反复的审问变得更加严厉，把我逼到了恐惧和流泪的边缘。根据句意及空前的far(修饰比较级，表示“……得多”)可知，此处表示审问比之前“更加严厉”，应用intense的比较级形式more intense。 9．考查宾语从句。句意：我父亲温和地问我是否明白自己行为的严重性。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，作asked的宾语，表示“是否”，应用whether或if。 10．考查介词。句意：如果没有我父亲的支持，我就不会学到这个宝贵的教训：关注是不能强求的；真正的认可来自于光荣的行为。根据句意及后半句的虚拟语气（wouldn’t have learned）可知，本句为含蓄虚拟条件句，此处表示“如果没有”，应用介词without。位于句首大写首字母。 Passage 8 Mum gave me back the letter Granny helped me write years ago, when I stopped believing in Father Christmas.

There are many things that make us chuckle or burst into laughter. This natural show of emotion gives off signals that we are happy, we find something humorous or even that we're just a barrel of laughs! Laughter is a very primitive way of making a sound. When we do it, we make very strange noises – from wheezes and squeaks to gasps and snorts – and each sound reflects the muscles in the chest squeezing out air under high pressure. Most of the time our laughter is involuntary and contagious, especially between friends. Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist, told the BBC that it's “a social emotion. It’s better to laugh with people we like.” She defines two types of laughter – spontaneous laughter, where we laugh instantly and uncontrollably, and conversational laughter – where we laugh together with friends. Research found, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. While our health is no laughing matter, research has found a good laugh can help our body and mind – it can make us feel good and relax our bodies. It also helps us manage pain and improve our immune system. That's why laughter therapy is being used as an alternative to conventional treatments. 【全文翻译】 什么事情会让你发笑？有很多事情能让我们轻声偷笑或突然大笑起来。这种自然的情绪表达传递出信号——我们很开心，觉得某件事很幽默，甚至表明我们是个特别有趣的人。笑是一种非常原始的发声方式。当我们笑的时候，会发出各种奇怪的声音——从喘息声、尖细的吱吱声到倒吸气声和鼻息声——每种声音都反映了胸部肌肉在高压下挤出空气的过程。大多数时候，我们的笑是不由自主的且具有感染力的，尤其是在朋友之间。神经科学家索菲·斯科特告诉BBC说，笑是"一种社交情绪，和我们喜欢的人一起笑更好"。她定义了两种类型的笑——自发性的笑，即我们瞬间且无法控制地笑出来；以及对话中的笑，即我们和朋友一起笑。研究发现，平均而言，人们在每十分钟的对话中会笑七次。虽然我们的健康不是开玩笑的事，但研究发现，开怀大笑对身心健康都有帮助——它能让我们感觉良好、放松身体，还有助于应对疼痛、增强免疫系统。这就是为什么笑声疗法正被用作传统治疗的一种替代方式。 【核心词汇】 1 / 13 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 ① laugh v. 笑；发笑 ② happy adj. 快乐的；幸福的 ③ sound n. 声音；响声 ④ friend n. 朋友 ⑤ talk v. 说话；交谈 ⑥ feel v. 感觉；觉得 ⑦ relax v. 放松；休息 ⑧ body n. 身体 ⑨ mind n. 头脑；思维 ⑩ help v. 帮助；有助于 ⑪ smile v. 微笑 ⑫ together adv. 一起；共同 ⑬ social adj. 社交的；社会的 ⑭ health n. 健康 ⑮ research n. 研究；调查 ⑯ improve v. 改善；提高 ⑰ pain n. 疼痛；痛苦 ⑱ treatment n. 治疗；对待 ⑲ natural adj. 自然的；天生的 ⑳ scientist n. 科学家 【长难句分析】 1.Sophie Scott, a neuroscientist, told the BBC that it's "a social emotion" and that it's better to laugh with people we like. 句意： 神经科学家索菲·斯科特告诉BBC说，笑是"一种社交情绪"，并且和我们喜欢的人一起笑更好。 分析： 本句中Sophie Scott是主语，a neuroscientist是其同位语，对其身份进行补充说明；told是谓语，the BBC是间接宾语，后面接两个由that引导的并列宾语从句（that it's "a social emotion"和that it's better to laugh with people we like）作直接宾语；在第二个宾语从句中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是to laugh with people we like，其中we like是定语从句修饰先行词people。 2. Research found that, on average, people laugh seven times for every ten minutes of conversation. 句意： 研究发现，平均而言，人们在每十分钟的对话中会笑七次。 分析： 本句中Research found是主谓结构；that引导宾语从句，作found的宾语；on average是插入语，意为"平均而言"；seven times和for every ten minutes of conversation分别表示频率和时间范围。 练·能力培优拔高 培优提升篇 Passage 1 In a world where tech companies often compete to create the next productivity tool, a new device is breaking away from the pack. Meet Friend: a new wearable AI companion that you wear around your neck. The small device records your every word and interaction and responds accordingly by text. They cost $ 99 and are expected to ship out in early 2025. The device comes at a time when loneliness and social isolation (孤独) are at record highs. Studies indicate that 61% of young people in the U. S. suffer from serious loneliness, a statistic that reveals a growing mental health crisis. While AI reshapes all the ways we interact in jobs, healthcare and entertainment — more and more people report feeling socially isolated, Schiffmann, Meet Friend’s founder, sees it differently: the device isn’t a replacement for human relationships but rather a way to fill the gaps when human companionship is hard to come by. AI companionship is controversial (有争议的). While some people, like Schiffmann, argue that it can help people feel less isolated, others worry that AI relationships might displace real human connections, and thus make people feel more lonely. If you are someone who already struggles with human interactions, the thinking goes, why would you continue to subject yourself to them when you have an AI friend who’s fun and uncomplicated, and doesn’t come with all the baggage of another person? But so far, the research doesn’t seem to support this fear. Drake-Maples at Stanford University surveyed more than 1,000 students who used the AI chatbot Replika, and investigated their feelings of loneliness and perceived social support. Roughly half of these users reported decreased anxiety, and a feeling of social support. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed said they are more able to handle stress in their current relationship because of Replika’s advice. It is still a new field though, and Drake-Maples says there needs to be guidelines. “I strongly believe that you do need to have ethical guidelines around AI companions pushing people back when appropriate, towards human relationships,” she says. These could be gentle reminders like “Hey, you should go chat with somebody about that” or “Go practice this now with a real human.” 1．What is Meet Friend aimed at? A．Replacing human relationships. B．Boosting the productivity at work. C．Offering a new approach to connection. D．Detecting early symptoms of mental illness. 2．What does the underlined part “the thinking” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．AI helps avoid life’s stress. B．It’s easy to communicate with an AI friend. C．AI worsens feelings of loneliness. D．Human relationships are hard to keep. 3．What is Drake-Maples’ attitude towards AI companionship? A．Cautious. B．Unclear. C．Disapproving. D．Supportive. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Will AI change human nature? B．Will AI redefine mental health crisis? C．Can we trust an AI friend? D．Can an AI friend make us less lonely? Passage 2 You might have seen it — maybe sitting on a desk, or looking at you from a clear box like a curious little creature — The Labubu doll. As a family therapist and mom of teens, I notice these funny-looking collectible toys actually help us understand young people’s feelings. If we pay attention, we’ll see something important: Our kids are going through the tough but amazing journey of growing up. Labubu’s charm isn’t about looks, but what it represents. It’s odd but interesting — just like being a teenager. At this age, kids are pulled between opposites: independence and dependence, fitting in and standing out, childlike play and teenage complexity. Labubu’s design shows these struggles. Its big eyes, wild smile, and crazy expression mirror the emotional chaos teens feel while figuring out who they are. During development, young people often prefer unusual or striking things, not because they’re troubled, but because they’re learning to balance complicated emotions. Psychologists call this “symbolic mastery” — a process where individuals gain control over confusion or fear by owning related objects. When something catches your eye but isn’t too scary, it’s perfect for practicing emotional strength. Another key aspect is blind boxes. Labubu’s sealed packaging offers occasional rewards through uncertainty. Beyond excitement, it provides a safe context for teens to embrace surprises. This strengthens symbolic mastery: “I can handle not knowing. I can bear tension. I accept uncertainty.” Of course, it’s not just about pleasure. It’s also about connection. Labubu acts as a social signal: “Look, I got the rare one!” Such items convey belonging, showing that one understands the trend and fits in. While often seen negatively, peer pressure here marks a key developmental step. Learning to read social rules and bond with friends are signs of growing up. Thus, when your child wants a Labubu because “others have it”, it is a healthy desire for inclusion. You need not agree, but understanding the psychology behind matters. 1．What does Labubu’s design reflect? A．Fancy trend of collectible toys. B．The inner conflict of teenagers. C．Daily uncertainties teens face. D．The desire of teens for freedom. 2．Which of the following best demonstrates “symbolic mastery”? A．A person with stage fright refuses to perform. B．A child plays with a toy fire engine after a fire. C．A nervous student stays up late for a final exam. D．An employee takes online courses to get promoted. 3．What might the author advise parents to do on teens’ collectible purchases? A．Teach them how to fit in. B．Follow the social trend. C．Decline them immediately. D．Value their inner needs. 4．What does the text mainly discuss about the Labubu doll? A．Its various designs. B．The secret of its success. C．Its psychological value. D．Concerns about its impact. Passage 3 The feeling of love is the very best feeling in the world. Love is always available, as available as the air we breathe. Yet most people do not go through their days filled with love, joy and peace. Instead, they feel empty and alone, and often turn to various addictions to fill the emptiness. One of the addictions many people turn to is getting love from others. Believing that people need to be their source of love, they try in various ways to gain control over getting love from others. Through physical appearance, accomplishments, threats, anger and blame, people try to manipulate (操纵) others into giving them the love, attention and approval they need. Sometimes this works for the moment, but like food, it is only for the moment. Other people try to get filled through the giving of love. The problem here is that unless you are first bringing love into yourself and then sharing your love from a full place within, the giving of love becomes just another manipulation to get love. This is caretaking — giving to get. It does not lead to feeling filled up with love, peace and joy. Rather, it leads to feeling drained, used and resentful (气愤的), since rarely do others give back the love you hope for. The highest experience in life with another person is the sharing of love.

You are overwhelmed by how small and insignificant you really are, bursting with an indescribable feeling — this is awe. 1 Astronauts report this feeling when facing the vastness of space, an experience that may reshape their attitude toward life on Earth. Awe can be both positive and negative. If you’ve ever been moved by something immense and beautiful like splendid mountains or sunsets, you’ve likely experienced a sense of calm and wonder. That’s positive awe. 2 Things like natural disasters often leave us filled with terror and a sense of insignificance. What happens in the brain when we experience awe? When we feel awe, brain activity linked to self-focus decreases. 3 This may explain why you tend to “feel small” when you experience awe. But positive and negative awe may have different effects on our nervous system. Negative awe is associated with sympathetic nervous system activity, which drives our “fight or flight” response. Positive awe, however, is associated with increased parasympathetic (副交感的) activity. 4 Neuroscience suggests positive awe benefits mental health in five ways — relaxing the nervous system, reducing self-focus, inspiring willingness to help others, strengthening social connections and enriching life meaning. 5 One way to start is by taking “awe walks”. These involve walking with the intention of noticing beauty, vastness and wonder. You can also enjoy meditation, art or just lose yourself in the roar of a crowd. A．So, how can you actively cultivate awe? B．Not all new experiences will arouse awe. C．This reduces heart rate, making us feel calmer. D．Negative awe occurs when we feel threatened or powerless. E．It shifts away from yourself towards processing external information. F．It is sometimes described as an experience at the boundary of pleasure and fear. G．As a complex emotion, awe arises when enormous things go beyond our understanding. Passage 5 Developing a sense of gratitude isn’t difficult or challenging. 1 And the more you practice it, the better you’ll become at putting yourself into a grateful state of mind. Here are some tips on how to do this. Observe the moment. Take a second to focus on your experience and how you are feeling. At the same time, think about the things you appreciate. 2 Are there particular things helping you manage your stress, feel good about your life, or achieve what you need to do? You may also find the practice of mindfulness, which focuses on becoming more aware of the present moment, a helpful tool. Write it down. 3 So starting a gratitude journal might be helpful. Write down a few things you’re thankful for each day in the journal. Being able to look back on these observations can help a lot when you are in a hard time. Enjoy the moment. Give yourself time to really enjoy the moment. Focus on the experience and allow yourself to enjoy those good feelings. Concentrate on the senses and feelings you’re experiencing in a given moment. 4 Give thanks. Gratitude is all about recognizing and appreciating those people, things, moments, skills, or gifts that bring joy, peace, or comfort into our lives. 5 You might write a thank-you note to a person to show your thankfulness, or you might spend a moment simply mentally appreciating what you have.
