A
Allow me to list the short-lived hobbies I started and quickly gave up when I didn’t succeed—pottery, softball, violin and designing new-style T-shirts.Uncomfortable to ask for help, I’d rather drop a hobby than give myself time to improve.Being challenged can make me angry sometimes.
Babies and children feel challenged almost at everything, because each experience is new.Adults, on the other hand, see anything less than doing really well as failure.If you’re at all like me, you protect yourself from this feeling and avoid hobbies that might show a lack of competence.
Although challenges can bring discomfort, we shouldn’t shy away from activities we enjoy simply because we aren’t great at them.As the season for new habits and hobbies comes, put your pride to one side, and embrace the challenge.
The way you think about your abilities can influence your performance.There are two ways people view success: fixed mindset and growth mindset.If you have a fixed mindset, you may believe you already have all the skills and abilities you will ever have and you may never improve with effort.Growth mindset is the belief that you can advance through hard work, support, and a different method.“To develop a growth mindset, remind yourself that the first time you began any endeavor, you probably met challenges,” says Daya Grant, a mental performance coach.“Then you got better.As you learn and build skills, however slowly, celebrate those little wins.A win is a win.It doesn’t really matter to the brain how big or small it is.”
“But if you love the challenge,” Grant says, “or enjoy the hard work, accept the fact that you may be doing the thing, whether it’s dancing or playing the violin, well enough.” This reminder is one I’ll take with me as I start new projects that I might not be naturally good at.Catch me at a pottery wheel or playing my guitar in my bedroom.Or don’t.The results may not be pretty—and I do not care.

(2024·江苏泰州高二上期末)
Stress in teenagers can be reduced by a 30-minute online intervention aimed at encouraging a growth mindset and seeing the body’s reaction to stress as a positive.It interprets physical responses such as a racing heart as potentially performance-enhancing.
Mental problems among teenagers are on the rise in the United Kingdom, with rates of probable mental health disorders increasing from one in nine (12%) in 2021 to one in five (20%) in 2023, and there are long waits for access to services in some regions.
A study involving more than 4,000 secondary school pupils and university students suggests the new approach could be a low-cost, effective treatment for adolescent stress.“We’re trying to change teenagers’ beliefs about and their responses to stressful situations,” said Dr David Yeager, first author of the study.“Actually when you’re doing something hard and your body starts to feel stressed, that could be a good thing.”
Yeager and colleagues conducted a series of controlled trials.In one trial, half of 166 students were given the intervention while the rest were not.All the students were then surprised with a request to give a speech about their personal strengths and weaknesses in front of peer evaluators who had been trained to create an unsupportive atmosphere by sighing and frowning.Those who had been given the intervention had lower stress responses, based on heart rate and other physical measures.
In another experiment, the intervention was shown to influence academic achievement nine months later, with students 14% more likely to pass classes at the end of the academic year.In the final experiment, teenagers who had received the online intervention reported lower levels of general anxiety several months later.
Yeager said the new approach went against the “common principle of self-care” that often appears to view stress as uniquely negative and suggests people “do yoga or have a camomile tea(甘菊茶)”.“That’s a way to take your attention away but it doesn’t help you deal with the fundamental cause of stress, ” he said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的缓解青少年压力的方法,即通过30分钟的在线干预来减轻青少年的压力,该干预旨在鼓励成长型思维并将身体对压力的反应视为积极的。
5.Why does the author mention the figures in paragraph 2?
A.To provide historical information about the study.
B.To present the advantages of the online intervention.
C.To explain the need for providing the public services.
D.To stress the severity of mental problems in UK teenagers.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。第二段说到:英国青少年的心理问题呈上升趋势,可能的心理健康障碍发生率从 2021 年的九分之一(12%) 增加到2023年的五分之一(20%),并且部分地区需要长时间等待才能获得服务。由此推知,作者在第二段中提到数字是为了强调英国青少年心理问题的严重性。故选D。
6.What is teenagers’ misunderstanding of stress?
A.It is something negative.
B.It is something positive.
C.Many people are struggling with it.
D.It contributes to their growth.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中Yeager 说的话“我们正在努力改变青少年对压力情况的看法和反应”和“实际上,当你在做困难的事情并且你的身体开始感到压力时,这可能是一件好事”可推知,青少年对压力的误解是,压力是消极的,故选A。
7.What do we know about the intervention from paragraph 4?
A.It might lead to academic improvement and lower anxiety.
B.It might do good to teenagers’ physical and mental health.
C.It will help students evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.
D.It might prove efficient in ridding teenagers of stress immediately.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Those who had been given the intervention had lower stress responses, based on heart rate and other physical measures.”可知,根据心率和其他身体指标,接受干预的人的压力反应较低,由此可知,干预有利于青少年身心健康,故选B。
8.What does Yeager think about the new approach?
A.It casts new light on the cause of stress.
B.It changes people’s perspective on stress.
C.It respects people’s opinions about self-care.
D.It relieves teenagers’ stress more effectively.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Yeager认为这种新方法违背了“自我照顾的普遍原则”,这种原则通常建议人们“做瑜伽或喝一杯甘菊茶”,这能够转移你的注意力,但它不能帮助人们解决造成压力的根本原因,即Yeager不赞成“自我照顾的普遍原则”,由此推知,Yeager赞成新方法,认为其能更有效地缓解青少年压力,故选D。

(2025·浙江杭州高二上期末)
Have you ever complained that there just aren’t enough hours in a day? Do you usually find yourself falling short on time in completing assigned tasks? 1 No matter how hard I tried,tasks just kept piling up towards the end every day and it became extremely difficult to stay productive.In spite of trying all kinds of free and paid to-do apps,nothing helped.
That didn’t change until I discovered the time management technique called Time Blocking.Since then,I have been able to transform my daily schedule for the better with the help of Time Blocking. 2
It is a simple time management technique where you schedule your day such that it is divided into time blocks that are dedicated to specific tasks or groups of tasks. 3 Imagine that you have a dozen or so tasks that you want to finish working on tomorrow.You open your to-do app of choice and neatly list down everything that you plan to do,and then plot some important meetings and reminders in your calendar app. 4 The more specific you are about the task,the more focused and productive you will be and thus,more productive.
5 It not only makes your to-do list more manageable,but it also gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize your tasks.It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination(拖延症),as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.
A.So what is it exactly?
B.Is everyone interested in it?
C.I used to be in the same boat.
D.The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.
E.Let’s further explain the concept in another way.
F.You’ll encounter countless questions like these in your life.
G.You’ll need to be very specific about the time and what you’re planning to do.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种时间管理技巧——时间模块管理Time Blocking。
1.答案 C
解析 作者在前文向读者提出两个关于时间分配方面的问题,后文讲述自己在时间分配上的处境,C项“I used to be in the same boat.”符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
2.答案 A
解析 前文“That didn’t change...with the help of Time Blocking.”引入“时间模块管理”这一概念,后文“It is a simple time management technique...”开始具体介绍这一概念,A项“So what is it exactly?”符合语境,引出后文内容,且其中的“it”指代前文的“Time Blocking”。故选A。
3.答案 E
解析 前文具体介绍了Time Blocking这一概念,后文“Imagine that you have a dozen...in your calendar app.”设想了具体应用该概念的情景,E项“Let’s further explain the concept in another way.”符合语境,承上启下,自然过渡到后文的具体解释。故选E。
4.答案 G
解析 后文“The more specific you are about the task,the more focused and productive you will be and thus,more productive.”说明了对待任务的具体程度和注意力、效率的关系,G项“You’ll need to be very specific about the time and what you’re planning to do.”符合语境,引出后文,其中的“specific”与后文内容呼应。故选G。
5.答案 D
解析 空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需概括段落内容。后文“It not only makes your to-do list...as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.”具体介绍了时间模块管理这一技巧的好处,D项“The benefits of Time Blocking are substantial.”符合语境,可概括段落内容。故选D。
Ⅴ.语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

So, next time you can’t sleep at night, why not give forgiveness 10. try? It’s certain that it can make you feel better the next day.
1.答案 has found
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。根据句意和句中“Recently”可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语为“a new study”,故助动词用“has”。故填has found。
2.答案 led

3.答案 participants
解析 考查名词复数。“participant”意为“参与者”,为可数名词,根据后文的“their”可知,此处指多名参与者,所以应用名词复数。故填participants。
4.答案 satisfaction

8.答案 which
解析 考查定语从句。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为“a restful mental state that supports sound sleep”,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词“which”引导从句。故填which。
9.答案 whether
解析 考查状语从句。根据句意和句中“or not”可知,空格处引导让步状语从句,构成“whether...or not”,意为“无论……与否”。故填whether。
10.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。句中涉及固定短语“give sth a try”,意为“试试……”。故填a。
