In their opinion, it’s a complete w 1 of time. Some even think they should be taken good care of by their parents all the time. However, such life skills are really necessary. On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) produced a document（文件）for high schools. According to the document, labor education is listed as a compulsory（必修的）c 2 for high school students. It would be as important as the foreign language or physics. And each of them takes sixcredits（学分）. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure students do 40 hours of voluntary service d 3 the full three school years. A recent study shows that teenagers in China are doing very little housework. Primary and middle school students spend only 12 minutes a day on chores, c 4 to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. Parents think doing household chores would make students pay less a 5 to their schoolwork. In fact, it is very helpful for teenagers. Chores can not only teach teamwork and problem-solving s 6 but also give people a sense of pride. “Through such education, students are expected to develop working abilities as well as a better u 7 of the world,” said Zheng Fuzhi, vice-minister of the MOE. 【答案】1. (w)aste 2. (c)ourse 3. (d)uring 4. (c)ompared 5. (a)ttention 6. (s)kills 7. (u)nderstanding B语法填空 During the Warring States Period, two well-known handsome men lived in the State of Qi, namely Zou Ji and Mr. Xu. One day, after____1_____ (dress) up carefully, Zou Ji asked his wife who looked ____2____(handsome) between him and Xu. Without _____3____(hesitate), his wife praised him as the more attractive one. Still feeling doubtful, Zou Ji turned to his concubine and a guest for the same question, ____4___ both gave identical flattering replies. It was not until Xu visited him in person that Zou Ji finally knew the truth—Xu was _____5_____(clear) much more handsome. Reflecting on the lies, Zou Ji understood ___6____ reason behind them. Out of love, fear or personal needs, people around him chose to hide the truth. He shared this experience ____7___the king and warned that rulers _____8_____(also surround) by biased voices and rarely heard sincere suggestions. Deeply convinced, the king opened his door to public criticism. Countless people came to speak their minds, bringing great changes to the country. Before long, Qi grew strong and won respect from neighboring states. This ancient tale reminds us that straight advice often sounds________ (comfortable), yet it helps us recognize weaknesses and keep improving ____10_____(we). 【答案】1.dressing 2.more handsome 3.hesitation 4.but 5.clearly 6.the 7.with 8.were also surrounded 9.uncomfortable 10.ourselves 【解析】本文改编自《邹忌讽齐王纳谏》的故事，讲述邹忌通过比美醒悟身边人阿谀奉承的原因，进而劝谏齐王广纳谏言，最终齐国变强，并点明忠言逆耳利于自省成长的道理。 1.dressing 非谓语动词题。after 是介词，后面接动词时要用动名词形式，故填 dressing。 2.more handsome 形容词比较级题。由 between him and Xu 可知是两者之间比较，要用形容词比较级，handsome 的比较级为 more handsome。故填 more handsome。 3.hesitation 名词固定搭配题。固定搭配 without hesitation 意为 “毫不犹豫地”，此处需把动词 hesitate 变为名词 hesitation。故填 hesitation。 4.but 连词填空题。前文邹忌心存疑惑去询问其他人，后文说众人给出同样奉承的回答，前后语义转折，用并列连词 but。 5.clearly 副词用法题。修饰形容词比较级 much more handsome，需要用副词作状语，clear 的副词形式是 clearly。故填 clearly。 6.the 冠词用法题。此处特指 “谎言背后的原因”，表特指要用定冠词 the。故填 the。 7.with 介词固定搭配题。固定搭配 share sth. with sb. 意为 “把某事分享给某人；向某人讲述某事”。故填 with。 8.were also surrounded 被动语态题。主语 rulers 和动词 surround 是被动关系，且全文为一般过去时，故用一般过去时的被动语态 were also surrounded。 9.uncomfortable 形容词词形转换题。由后文转折含义 “忠言帮我们认识不足” 可知，直白的建议听起来往往是 “令人不适的”，comfortable 的反义词为 uncomfortable。故填 uncomfortable。 10.ourselves 反身代词题。固定搭配 improve oneself 意为 “自我完善、自我提升”，主语是 us，对应的反身代词是 ourselves。故填 ourselves。 七、完形填空 The expression, “everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of peer pressure (同伴压力). It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. For certain individuals, 5 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and lose their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 6 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 7 the peers. However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 8 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 9 . Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 10 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life. 1. A. traditional B. similar C. weird D. normal 2. A. influence B. result C. cause D. method 3.

When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1. According to the passage, how does “Love You, Old Self” help young people? A. It helps them win more competitions. B. It helps them make good friends. C. It helps them deal with pressure and find balance. D. It helps them get into a good university. 2. What can we know about “Love You, Old Self” from the passage? A. It is an expensive way to relax and reduce stress. B. It means avoiding all the difficulties in daily life. C. It helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better. D. It only needs to be done when people get good exam results. 3. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trend is popular? A. Young people face a lot of pressure. B. It is a way to avoid difficulties. C. It helps young people find inner peace. D. It gives young people a way to care for themselves. 4. Which of the following sentences is right? A. The phrase “Love You, Old Self” can help them make more new friends. B. The phrase shows they are old enough to take care of themselves. C. The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real. D. The phrase makes young people become lazy and not want to face hard times. 5. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to take good care of oneself. B. The importance of being kind to oneself. C. The pressure that Chinese young people face. D. The popularity and benefits of a self-care trend. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. C 5. D 【知识点】哲理感悟、青少年问题、说明文 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国年轻人中流行的“Love You, Old Self”这一说法，阐述了它如何帮助年轻人应对压力、关爱自我，并说明了这种善待自己的理念能让人更好地面对外部压力、找到内心平静。 1. 根据第三段“being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure”和第四段“thus find a healthy balance”可知，该短语帮助年轻人应对压力并找到平衡。 2. 文章最后一段提到“by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace”，与选项C“It helps young people find inner peace and face pressure better.”一致。 3. 根据第四段“Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties”可知，逃避困难并不是该趋势流行的原因。A、C、D项均在文中提到是其流行或有益的原因。 4. 文章第二段提到“It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real”，与选项C“The trend of “Love You, Old Self” makes the idea of self-care become real.”完全对应。A项文中未提及结交新朋友；B项Old Self是昵称而非指年龄；D项与文中build more courage相反。 5. 通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了“Love You, Old Self”这一短语的流行，中间段落分析了其流行的原因及具体益处，最后一段总结。D项“The popularity and benefits of a self-care trend. ”最能概括全文主旨。 B I had to say something after reading The Anxious Generation. It is going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development that many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse, the crude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people. Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews converge on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities find no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use. As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more. 1. What is presented in The Anxious Generation? A. Scary stories affect children’s brains. B. Parents are responsible for children’s health. C. Teens’ mental illness results from screen time. D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable. 2. What does “the same message” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Many countries do research in mental health. B. Well-being and social media are closely related. C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis. D. Social media don’t necessarily cause mental illness. 3. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Positive stories should be shared. B. Broader research should be done. C. Effective actions need to be taken. D. Financial support needs to be provided. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest ways to help those in need. B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis. C. To recommend a newly-published book. D. To give a voice to children’s mental issues. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. C 4. D 【知识点】青少年问题、议论文 【解析】本文针对Jonathan Haidt的新书中关于“数字技术导致青少年精神疾病流行”的观点进行了反驳，指出目前科学研究并未发现社交媒体与心理健康之间存在必然的因果关系，并呼吁社会应停止传播这些缺乏科学支持的恐慌言论，转而采取真正基于证据的解决方案来帮助陷入危机的年轻人。 1. 根据第一段中“the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic... of mental illness”这本书一再暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑，并导致精神健康问题的流行，可知书中呈现的观点是数字技术即屏幕时间导致了青少年的精神疾病。选项C是原文的同义表达。 2. 根据第二段提到的研究结果“social-media use predicts or causes depression...”社交媒体使用预测或导致抑郁症……，以及第三段划线词后的“shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally”显示幸福感与社交媒体之间没有一致或可测量的联系，可知，“the same message”指的是社交媒体并不一定导致精神疾病即D。 3. 根据最后一段中“We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported...”我们这一代人正处于危机之中，迫切需要……解决方案。不幸的是，我们的时间花在讲述没有研究支持的故事上……可知，作者认为目前的做法无效，暗示需要采取基于科学的有效行动来真正帮助年轻人。选项C“需要采取有效行动”符合此意。 4. 通读全文可知，作者通过批评《焦虑的一代》书中缺乏科学依据的观点，指出青少年心理健康危机的真实复杂性，并呼吁提供基于证据的解决方案，旨在引起人们对儿童心理健康问题的真正关注和支持。选项D“为孩子们的心理问题发声”最符合作者的写作目的。 C配对阅读。左栏是五位学生的烦恼，右栏是七则解决烦恼的建议。请将烦恼和建议进行匹配。并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 1 Every time David answers the phone, people always mistake him for his mother or sister.

Therefore learning to save is an important skill. 1 Opening a savings account is a smart first step. 2 What makes it even better is that some accounts offer high interest rates (利率), which means the bank pays you just for keeping your money there. To open one, you may need a parent to go to the bank with you. Another effective way is to stop yourself from buying things immediately. It’s easy to see something you like and want to buy it right away. 3 That is, write down the product, its price, and the date, then wait a full month before deciding to buy it. By doing so, you will turn a sudden want into a thoughtful choice. 4 For example, if you earn ¥15, put ¥5 directly into savings. This method allows you to enjoy the rest while still building your savings for future goals. If you are saving for something big, you can choose to save even more. Finally, to have money to save, you need to make money. You can sell your old books and toys at the local flea market. You can also ask your parents if you can earn money by doing chores, such as washing the dishes or sweeping the floor. 5 A. When this idea pops up, try the “30-day rule.” B. Here are several practical ways to start saving. C. A savings account keeps your money safe in a bank. D. You’ll surely feel satisfied if you pay for it immediately. E. Moreover, save at least one-third of your money as soon as you receive it. F. Both ways not only provide income but also give you valuable experience. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. E 5.

It’s reported that few teenagers would like to spend time on them. In their opinion, it’s a complete w 1 of time. Some even think they should be taken good care of by their parents all the time. However, such life skills are really necessary. On June 3, 2020, the Ministry of Education (MOE) produced a document（文件）for high schools. According to the document, labor education is listed as a compulsory（必修的）c 2 for high school students. It would be as important as the foreign language or physics. And each of them takes sixcredits（学分）. Voluntary service, as part of labor education, would take two credits. The MOE also asks schools to make sure students do 40 hours of voluntary service d 3 the full three school years. A recent study shows that teenagers in China are doing very little housework. Primary and middle school students spend only 12 minutes a day on chores, c 4 to 72 minutes in the US, 42 minutes in South Korea and 30 minutes in France. Parents think doing household chores would make students pay less a 5 to their schoolwork. In fact, it is very helpful for teenagers. Chores can not only teach teamwork and problem-solving s 6 but also give people a sense of pride. “Through such education, students are expected to develop working abilities as well as a better u 7 of the world,” said Zheng Fuzhi, vice-minister of the MOE.

It is a social influence applied on an individual in order to get that person to act or believe in a 1 way as a larger group. This 2 can be negative or positive, and can exist in both large and small groups. People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly 3 that some part of their self-respect comes from the approval (认可) of others. This explains why the approval of peers, and the fear of 4 , is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. This instinct (本能) drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer a simple “fine” when a stranger asks “how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. For certain individuals, 5 for social acceptance is so important that it becomes an addiction (上瘾): in order to satisfy the desire (渴望), they may go too far and lose their sense of right and wrong. Some young people may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs (帮派) that 6 criminal behavior. Some adults may sometimes end up in debt (负债) because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in order to 7 the peers. However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends do well in 8 may be motivated to work harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult develop a good habit or drop a bad one. Although peer pressure is sometimes quite obvious, some people may not even notice that it is affecting his or her behavior. For this reason, when making important decisions, such as choosing a career path or deciding on a major investment, simply going with an instinct is 9 . Instead, people should seriously consider why they feel attracted to taking a certain action. Is it because of their own values, long-term goals, or personal interests? They should also consider whether the real 10 behind their action is simply that everyone else is doing the same thing. Taking the time to think and make a wiser decision can lead to a proper and fulfilling life. 1. A. traditional B. similar C. weird D. normal 2. A. influence B. result C. cause D. method 3.

In 260 BC, the State of Qin 1 the State of Zhao. However, Zhao refused to give in. In 259 BC, Qin surrounded Handan, Zhao’s capital city. Handan was in great 2 . Prince Pingyuan of Zhao decided 3 the State of Chu for help, and he needed 20 skilled men. He found only 19 and he would find 4 one, at that time a man called Mao Sui came along. The prince looked at Mao with doubt and asked, “How long have you served me?” “Three years,” Mao replied. The prince said, “I hear that talent is like an awl in a bag; its tip pierces through. You’ve been here 5 a long time, but I’ve 6 heard of you. Maybe you are not that talented?” Mao replied, “Put me in that bag, and I’ll pierce it 7 , not just the tip.” The prince 8 and took him along.

When they post photos of home-cooked food or morning coffee with these words, they turn small daily things into a shared way of being kind to themselves. People say it is one of the kindest trends, and it touches many people deeply. It is more than just a saying. It makes the unclear idea of taking care of oneself become real. It gives comfort when people feel stressed and celebrates small happy moments. The key is to call oneself “Old Self”—a friendly name that lets people step back and talk to themselves kindly, just as they would to a close friend. This trend is popular for a reason. Today’s young people face a lot of pressure, such as non-stop exams and strong competition for university places and jobs. For example, a high school student in Beijing writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm down after a hard exam. In such situations, being gently kind to oneself has become an important way to deal with pressure. Importantly, this is not an excuse to avoid difficulties. Instead, it helps people build more courage to get through hard times. To say “Love You, Old Self” means to recognize one’s own efforts, to allow oneself to rest when needed, and thus find a healthy balance. It is a cheap but useful way to keep emotions stable. It also changes where strength comes from—from others’ praise to believing in oneself. In the end, by being kind to themselves, young people are better able to deal with outside pressure. This gentle and steady power helps them find inner peace and shows a true fact: to really care for others, you must first be kind to yourself. 1.

It is going to sell well, because Jonathan Haidt is telling a scary story about children’s development that many parents are led to believe. However, the book’s repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children’s brains and causing the epidemic (流行病) of mental illness is unsupported by science. Worse, the crude proposal that social media is to blame might distract (分心) us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental-health crisis in young people. Researchers have searched for the effects suggested by Haidt. Our efforts have produced a mix of no, small and mixed associations. Most data are correlative. When associations over time are found, they suggest not that social-media use predicts or causes depression, but that young people who already have mental-health problems use such platforms more often or in different ways from their healthy peers. We are not alone here. Several analyses and systematic reviews converge on the same message. An analysis done in 72 countries shows no consistent or measurable associations between well-being and social media globally. Moreover, studies from some authorities find no evidence of intense changes associated with digital-technology use. As a psychologist studying children’s and adolescents’ mental health, I appreciate parents’ frustration (沮丧) and desire for simple answers. As a parent of adolescents, I would also like to identify a simple source for the pain this generation is reporting. There are, however, no simple answers. The beginning and development of mental disorders are driven by a complex set of genetic and environmental factors. More young people are talking openly about their mental-health struggles than ever before. But insufficient services are available to address their needs. In the United States, there is, on average, one school psychologist for every 1,119 students. We have a generation in crisis and in desperate need of the best of what science and evidence-based solutions can offer. Unfortunately, our time is being spent telling stories that are unsupported by research and that do little to support young people who need, and deserve, more. 1. What is presented in The Anxious Generation? A. Scary stories affect children’s brains. B. Parents are responsible for children’s health. C. Teens’ mental illness results from screen time. D. The epidemic of mental illness is unavoidable. 2. What does “the same message” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Many countries do research in mental health. B. Well-being and social media are closely related. C. The young are trapped in the mental-health crisis. D. Social media don’t necessarily cause mental illness. 3. What is implied in the last paragraph? A. Positive stories should be shared. B. Broader research should be done. C. Effective actions need to be taken. D. Financial support needs to be provided. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To suggest ways to help those in need. B. To encourage parents to brave the crisis. C. To recommend a newly-published book. D. To give a voice to children’s mental issues. C配对阅读。左栏是五位学生的烦恼，右栏是七则解决烦恼的建议。请将烦恼和建议进行匹配。并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 1 Every time David answers the phone, people always mistake him for his mother or sister.

It was his closest friend, and now he feels lonely. 4 Alyssa is always nervous during every maths exam. She seems to forget everything that she has prepared. 5 Justin’s classmate, Judy, stops playing with him these days. He tells jokes to her, but she doesn’t laugh. A.

Make a plan to use your money. Don’t waste too much on anything useless. You can have a part-time job to make some money, too. C. You should say sorry to your best friend.

D 阅读还原 Saving money can be challenging for teenagers, especially when there are so many things to spend it on. Therefore learning to save is an important skill. 1 Opening a savings account is a smart first step. 2 What makes it even better is that some accounts offer high interest rates (利率), which means the bank pays you just for keeping your money there. To open one, you may need a parent to go to the bank with you. Another effective way is to stop yourself from buying things immediately. It’s easy to see something you like and want to buy it right away. 3 That is, write down the product, its price, and the date, then wait a full month before deciding to buy it. By doing so, you will turn a sudden want into a thoughtful choice. 4 For example, if you earn ¥15, put ¥5 directly into savings. This method allows you to enjoy the rest while still building your savings for future goals. If you are saving for something big, you can choose to save even more. Finally, to have money to save, you need to make money. You can sell your old books and toys at the local flea market. You can also ask your parents if you can earn money by doing chores, such as washing the dishes or sweeping the floor. 5 A. When this idea pops up, try the “30-day rule.” B. Here are several practical ways to start saving. C. A savings account keeps your money safe in a bank. D. You’ll surely feel satisfied if you pay for it immediately. E. Moreover, save at least one-third of your money as soon as you receive it. F. Both ways not only provide income but also give you valuable experience. 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
