Passage 4
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙第一中学-11月·期中)Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 1
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
2 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 3 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so, you know that organic food tend to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops. 4 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 5 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A. Have you ever wondered what that means?
B. The cost of production is also usually higher.
C. For most of history, almost all food was organic.
D. Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
E. Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious.
F. Are you wondering if organic food is right for you?
G. Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. E 4. B 5. G

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·湖南湘潭湘钢一中教育集团·期中)How Can I Build My Friendships?
Building and keeping healthy friendships takes effort and balance. Friendships grow on shared support. 1
Showing your friends that you care strengthens your bond. Being a good friend yourself is just as important as having good friends around you. Here are some key ways to build your friendships.
2
Take an interest in what’s happening in your friends’ lives. Show you’re listening through eye contact, body language, and short comments like “That sounds great.” When your friends are facing difficulties, listen with understanding and avoid offering advice unless they ask for it. Sometimes, just being there to listen is the best support you can give.
Be dependable and trustworthy.
3 Be someone your friends can count on by keeping promises and showing up on time. When a friend shares something personal with you, respect their privacy and keep it private. Following through on your promises and being reliable help build stronger, lasting connections.
Stay connected and available.
Building deeper friendships takes time. Make an effort to see friends regularly and check in with them between meet-ups. 4 It’s natural to feel a bit awkward when getting to know someone new, but don’t let that stop you. As you connect more often, you’ll find that the initial awkwardness fades and a deeper bond begins to form.
Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. Putting time and energy into friendships can improve your emotional well-being and contribute to a more positive outlook on life. Friends bring joy and support. 5
A. Be an active listener.
B. Trust is important for close friendships.
C. Be mindful that friendships require effort.
D. Spending time with friends can make you feel better and happier.
E. Sometimes you help out, and other times you’re the one receiving help.
F. Even small gestures, like a text or phone call, can make a big difference.
G. They help you get through tough times and make good moments even more special.
【答案】1. E 2. A 3. B 4. F 5. G

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·湖南桃源县第一中学·期中)How Smartphone Adds to Your Weight
Using a smartphone at mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline. Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating. 1 The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract (分心) dinners from how much food and what they are actually eating.
“It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.
The volunteers, aged 18 to 28, were divided in to three groups and invited to help themselves to a choice of food — ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate — until they were satisfied. 2 On average, the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but 591 when using a mobile. Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones. When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more fatty foods. 3
“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a lead author of the study — carried out at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main ‘distracters’ during meals, even early in childhood. 4 A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food accepted.” 5 A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.
A. They also eat more fatty food.
B. They also ate more when reading a magazine.
C. Distracted or hurried eating can add to weight gain.
D. The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.
E. It is important to pay attention to how this may impact food intakes.
F. Hunger isn’t the only thing that influences how much we eat during the day.
G. They were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.
【答案】1. A 2. G 3. B 4. E 5. D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍用餐期间使用手机会使人们分心,让大脑无法正确判断摄取的食物量,从而导致人们摄入更多的卡路里,增加体重。
(1)题解析: 由上一句“Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating.”可知,研究者已经发现男人和女人吃饭的时候看着手机,会摄入15%更多的卡路里。选项A“They also eat more fatty food.”表示的是他们也吃更多的油腻食物,they指代的是上一句“men and women”,eat和上一句的“consumed”相呼应,more fatty food和上一句的“15% more calories”相呼应,选项A符合语境。故选A。

(3)题解析: 由前一句“When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more fatty foods.”可知,当专有他们的手机时候,这些志愿者也会摄入10%更多的油腻食物。选项B“They also ate more when reading a magazine.”表示的是当读杂志的时候,他们也会吃的更多。They指代的前一句“the volunteers”,also ate more和前一句的“also consumed 10 percent more”相呼应,when reading a magazine和前一句的“When in possession of their mobiles”结构相呼应,选项B符合语境。故选B。
(4)题解析: 由后一句“A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food accepted. ”可知,一个干扰物会阻止大脑正确地理解所摄取的食物数量。表示的是干扰物为什么会让人摄取更多食物。选项E“It is important to pay attention to how this may impact food intakes.”表示的是:关注这个干扰物可能是如何地影响食物摄取是非常重要的,由此可见,后一句是对选项E的解释说明。故选E。
(5)题解析: 由后一句“A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.”可知,一个更详细的分析可以在该杂志看到。选项D“The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.”表示的是这个研究在《生理学与行为》杂志上发表。后一句中的“the journal”指代的是选项D中的“Physiology And Behavior”。后一句的“can be found”和选项D中的“is published”相呼应,后一句的“A more detailed analysis”是对选项D中的“The study”具体说明,选项D符合语境。故选D。
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·湖南株洲株洲南方中学·期中)The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult. Here are a few tips to help you make new friends as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.
Accept the awkwardness. It’s a little bit awkward to reach out to someone you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text messages or starting small talk in the elevator. 1 Otherwise you can’t make any new friends.
2 Actually this advice is based on a well-known theory and some field research. Gallian Sandstorm, a senior lecturer in psychology at the university of Essex in the UK, has done research on something called the “liking gap”, which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong. 3 Instead, remember that when you talk to someone else, you are actually brightening their day.
Invest in activities that you love. Ask anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby. It might sound empty, but it works. 4 Then people will be drawn to you because you will be in the right place.
Be present. The planet is warming, and there is so much good television out there to watch. We get it. But if you want to keep your friendships, you have to show up for them. 5
A. So don’t listen to it.
B. But you have to accept it.
C. Do the things you are crazy about.
D. You don’t have to be interested in just one thing.
E. You have to listen and notice things about your friend.
F. Remember that people will like you more than you think they will.
G. We have a few tips for being present and engaged with your friends.

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·湖南县汉寿县第一中学-11月·期中)Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend
●Show respect for their life choices and decisions
Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices, have different views on politics and religion, and act differently in many ways. This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 1
●Give them the benefit of the doubt
2 If you’re in doubt about something, ask your friend. Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感).
●Give friends your full attention
One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully. Allow them to pause, convey nonverbal communication clues, collect their thoughts, and get it all out. Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 3 When your friend is talking, pay attention.
● 4
Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them.
●Show up, be there, and do what you say you’re going to do
5 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time, keeping promises, and being the one friend they can always count on. That’s the way to truly show respect.
A. Consider your friendship a precious gift.
B. This type of behavior is very disrespectful.
C. Tell your friends what you think about them directly.
D. In fact, you can almost do nothing but accept the differences.
E. Treating your friends with suspicion(猜疑) can be a dangerous thing.
F. It means that you’ll need to take a step back, reserve judgment, and show respect.
G. No one likes an unreliable friend who says they’ll be there and then doesn’t show.
【答案】1. F 2. E 3. B 4. A 5. G

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙长郡中学-11月·期中)Improve your attention span
May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. 1 .
Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. 2 .
Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. 3 . Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark.
4 . Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10
a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. 5 , depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10
a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.”
A. There are differences around these times
B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive
C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock
D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus
E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why
F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with
G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal
【答案】1. D 2. E 3. F 4. C 5. A
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现代人注意力时长缩短的现象,分析了外部和内部的原因,并提出根据个人生物钟安排任务以提高专注力的解决方案。
(1)题解析:
前文“That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. (根据心理学家Gloria Mark博士对人们在工作场所使用屏幕的最新研究,这是我们现在的平均注意力持续时间。当然,这个数字也有其局限性。正如其他心理学家所认为的那样,你的注意力可以变化很大,“平均”注意力持续时间的概念几乎是毫无意义的。)”指出平均注意力时长的数据及概念存在局限性,因此D项“Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus (正因如此,科学界甚至对如何测量注意力都未达成一致)”符合语境,指出测量注意力也存在分歧,和前文构成因果关系,其中的this指代前文的争议。故选D。
(2)题解析:
前文“Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. (然而,很可能你的注意力持续时间正在减少。最近的一项调查显示,如今近一半的人感觉他们的注意力持续时间比以前更糟了。)”指出调查显示近半数人感觉注意力变差,因此E项“With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why (由于电子邮件和社交媒体的持续干扰,这种现象很容易理解)”符合语境,解释注意力变差的原因,承接前文。故选E。
(3)题解析:
前文“Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. (当然,我们可以将手机通知静音,戴上降噪耳机。)”提到关闭通知等外部措施,后文“Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. (Mark说,在不知不觉中,你一整天都在“打断”自己。)”提到自我打断的问题,此处需转折指出内部干扰仍存在,因此F项“However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with (然而,即使做了这些,我们仍需应对内在的敌人)”符合语境,和前文构成转折,引出后文的内部问题。故选F。
(4)题解析:
后文“Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. (Mark说,把最耗费脑力的任务和你最容易集中注意力的时间排在一起是集中注意力的关键。)”建议根据生物钟安排任务,此处需提出关注生物钟的解决办法,因此C项“One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock (一个解决方法是关注你的生物钟)”符合语境,提出生物钟方案,引出后文。故选C。
(5)题解析:
前文“Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10 a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. (她的研究发现,平均而言,这些高峰出现在上午10点左右和下午2点至3点左右。)”给出平均高峰时间,后文“depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10 a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.” (这取决于你是早起的人还是晚睡的人。Mark解释说:“如果一个人是早起型的人,他们的注意力会更早——在上午10点之前。如果他们是晚睡型的人,他们的注意力高峰将在晚些时候。”)”具体解释早起型人和晚睡型人的个体差异,此处需补充说明高峰的时间差异,因此A项“There are differences around these times (这些时间存在个体差异)”符合语境,承接前文,后文是对其展开说明。故选A。
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙雅礼教育集团·期中)The Art of Being a Good Friend
Everyone wants to be a good friend, but sometimes we might not be sure what it truly means. Being a good friend isn’t just about having fun together; it’s about the everyday efforts that strengthen your bond. 1 It’s built on a foundation of trust, support, and respect.
Trust is the first essential element. A trustworthy friend always keeps his promise. If you say you’re going to do something, follow through. 2 You may feel safe sharing your true thoughts and feelings without fear of being laughed at or having your secrets told to others.
Another key part is offering support in both good and bad times. Celebrate your friend’s successes as if they were your own. 3 Simply being there, offering a kind word, or helping them with a small task can make a world of difference.
4 This includes listening to them without interruption and valuing their opinions even when you disagree. At its heart, respect means that you accept your friend for who they are. No one is perfect, and disagreements are normal. 5 Talk things through honestly, and be willing to forgive. As a matter of fact, a true friend values the friendship more than the need to be right.
In the end, being a good friend is a continuous process of learning, understanding, and caring.
A. This doesn’t require grand gestures.
B. What matters is how you handle them.
C. It also creates a safe space for honesty.
D. However, it’s equally important to be there during tough times.
E. True friendship goes beyond simply sharing hobbies or interests.
F. Respect, the third pillar, is shown through your actions and attitudes.
G. Finally, remember that friendship is a two-way street that requires effort from both sides.
【答案】1. E 2. C 3. D 4. F 5. B
【解析】【导语】

Being a good friend isn’t just about having fun together; it’s about the everyday efforts that strengthen your bond.(每个人都想成为一个好朋友,但有时我们可能不确定它的真正含义。做一个好朋友不仅仅是一起玩;它是关于每天的努力,加强你们的关系)”以及后文“It’s built on a foundation of trust, support, and respect.(它建立在信任、支持和尊重的基础上)”可知,空前句给出了友谊的定义,空后句则指出了友谊的三大基石,所以E项“True friendship goes beyond simply sharing hobbies or interests.(真正的友谊不仅仅是分享爱好或兴趣)”承接上文,引出下文,符合文意。故选E项。
(2)题解析:

(3)题解析:

(4)题解析:
设空位于第四段段首。此处需要一个总起句来点明本段的核心品质,根据后文“This includes listening to them without interruption and valuing their opinions even when you disagree. At its heart, respect means that you accept your friend for who they are. No one is perfect, and disagreements are normal.(这包括不间断地倾听他们的意见,即使你不同意他们的意见,也要重视他们的意见。从本质上讲,尊重意味着你接受你的朋友是谁。人无完人,有分歧是正常的)”可知,本段主题是“尊重”,所以F项“Respect, the third pillar, is shown through your actions and attitudes.(尊重,第三个支柱,通过你的行为和态度表现出来)”符合本段主题。故选F项。
(5)题解析:
根据前文“At its heart, respect means that you accept your friend for who they are. No one is perfect, and disagreements are normal.(从本质上讲,尊重意味着你接受你的朋友是谁。人无完人,有分歧是正常的)”以及后文“Talk things through honestly, and be willing to forgive. As a matter of fact, a true friend values the friendship more than the need to be right.(开诚布公地谈一谈,并愿意原谅别人。事实上,一个真正的朋友比起证明自己正确,更重视友谊)”可知,空前提出了问题,后文是具体方法,所以空处应是过渡句,提出方法,所以B项“What matters is how you handle them.(重要的是你如何处理它们)”符合文意,承上启下。故选B项。

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙第一中学-11月·期中)Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 1
“Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
2 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more.
The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 3 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment.
Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so, you know that organic food tend to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops. 4 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up.
Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 5 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price.
A. Have you ever wondered what that means?
B. The cost of production is also usually higher.
C. For most of history, almost all food was organic.
D. Many people are willing to pay more for organic food.
E. Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious.
F. Are you wondering if organic food is right for you?
G. Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·湖南三新联盟·期中)How to Stay Safe During a Thunderstorm
During the summer months, people spend more time outdoors, but the summer brings more than just hot weather, it is also lightning season. Lightning is not something to be taken lightly. 1 . However, there are ways that you can stay safe during a thunderstorm. Here are some tips on how to reduce your risk of being struck by lightning.
Go inside as soon as possible
Staying outside during a thunderstorm is very dangerous. You must be in a building where all the sides are enclosed. Even being in a car is safer than being outside. 2 .
Stay low to the ground
If you cannot get to a shelter, stay as low as possible, so that you are not the tallest thing around in a storm. 3 . Avoid places like fields, or hilltops and stay away from tall, isolated trees.
4
When your mother told you not to run water during a thunderstorm, she was right. Water is a dangerous conductor of electricity, which can travel through it in the pipes and enter your home.
Don’t ignore thunder
If you are close enough to hear thunder, you are close enough to get struck by lighting so take cover immediately. Lightning can actually strike 10 to 15 miles away from the core of the thunderstorm. Some lightning can strike an area where it is not raining yet. 5 .
A. Avoid using running water
B. Don’t touch anything connected to the outdoors
C. If you are hiking on a mountain, go down and not up
D. In fact, lightning is dangerous and can strike without warning
E. So don’t stay in the pool or play an extra game until the rain starts
F. Lightning can still strike even after the storm seems to have passed
G. The metal shell of it spreads the lightning around you and to the ground
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙明德中学·期中)Many senior high students share the same goal: improving their English language skills.
1 Here’s a step-by-step approach (方法) that works for everyone.
Know about your purpose.
Start by figuring out why you want to improve your English skills. For struggling ones, it’s important to master classroom dialogues to pass exams and build confidence. For top students, English fluency develops academic excellence and prepares them for cross-cultural communication. 2
Involve yourself in real-life practice.
For struggling students this could mean practicing role-playing simple conversations with classmates. 3 . In spite of your current level, view these exercises as stepping stones to build confidence for broader English use. Seek opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings where English is used.
4
Take advantage of language-learning apps, online courses, and English-speaking communities to build daily habits. Spend 10 minutes memorizing vocabulary with a learning app after breakfast. Take a 10-minute online grammar course after lunch. Watch short English videos for 10 minutes after dinner to practice listening. Whatever you choose to do, the key is to keep the habits you’ve formed.
Celebrate small wins.
Language learning takes time, so celebrate your progress! Treat yourself to a chocolate after remembering 10 new words, or share your achievements when you finish daily practice. 5 Each improvement, whether it’s mastering a grammar rule or reaching your desired score, is a step toward success.
A. Fall into daily habits.
B. Improve online learning skills.
C. This builds confidence and keeps you going.
D. Follow these key steps to improve your reading skills.
E. Having a strong “why” keeps you going when challenges appear.
F. While learning English can be challenging, the right approach helps.
G. For top students, it could involve class debates or presentations in English.
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·湖南湘潭湘钢一中教育集团·期中)How Can I Build My Friendships?
Building and keeping healthy friendships takes effort and balance. Friendships grow on shared support. 1
Showing your friends that you care strengthens your bond. Being a good friend yourself is just as important as having good friends around you. Here are some key ways to build your friendships.
2
Take an interest in what’s happening in your friends’ lives. Show you’re listening through eye contact, body language, and short comments like “That sounds great.” When your friends are facing difficulties, listen with understanding and avoid offering advice unless they ask for it. Sometimes, just being there to listen is the best support you can give.
Be dependable and trustworthy.
3 Be someone your friends can count on by keeping promises and showing up on time. When a friend shares something personal with you, respect their privacy and keep it private. Following through on your promises and being reliable help build stronger, lasting connections.
Stay connected and available.
Building deeper friendships takes time. Make an effort to see friends regularly and check in with them between meet-ups. 4 It’s natural to feel a bit awkward when getting to know someone new, but don’t let that stop you. As you connect more often, you’ll find that the initial awkwardness fades and a deeper bond begins to form.
Remember, it’s never too late to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. Putting time and energy into friendships can improve your emotional well-being and contribute to a more positive outlook on life. Friends bring joy and support. 5
A. Be an active listener.
B. Trust is important for close friendships.
C. Be mindful that friendships require effort.
D. Spending time with friends can make you feel better and happier.
E. Sometimes you help out, and other times you’re the one receiving help.
F. Even small gestures, like a text or phone call, can make a big difference.
G. They help you get through tough times and make good moments even more special.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·湖南桃源县第一中学·期中)How Smartphone Adds to Your Weight
Using a smartphone at mealtimes can lead to an expanding waistline. Researchers have found that men and women consumed 15% more calories when looking at their phones while eating. 1 The groundbreaking study suggests that staring at a phone screen may distract (分心) dinners from how much food and what they are actually eating.
“It may prevent the correct understanding of the brain over the amount of food ingested,” said researchers who filmed 62 volunteers eating alone.
The volunteers, aged 18 to 28, were divided in to three groups and invited to help themselves to a choice of food — ranging from healthy options to soft drinks and chocolate — until they were satisfied. 2 On average, the volunteers ate 535 calories without the distraction of a smartphone but 591 when using a mobile. Those in the sample who were classed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones. When in possession of their mobiles, the volunteers also consumed 10 percent more fatty foods. 3
“Smartphone use during a meal increased calorie and fat intake,” said Márcio Gilberto Zangeronimoa, a lead author of the study — carried out at the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main ‘distracters’ during meals, even early in childhood. 4 A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food accepted.” 5 A more detailed analysis can be found in the journal.
A. They also eat more fatty food.
B. They also ate more when reading a magazine.
C. Distracted or hurried eating can add to weight gain.
D. The study is published in Physiology And Behavior.
E. It is important to pay attention to how this may impact food intakes.
F. Hunger isn’t the only thing that influences how much we eat during the day.
G. They were recorded eating with no distractions, using a smartphone or reading a magazine.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·湖南株洲株洲南方中学·期中)The act of making and being a friend is as simple as it is difficult. Here are a few tips to help you make new friends as well as to take better care of the friendships you already have.
Accept the awkwardness. It’s a little bit awkward to reach out to someone you don’t know well — whether that’s sending the first text messages or starting small talk in the elevator. 1 Otherwise you can’t make any new friends.
2 Actually this advice is based on a well-known theory and some field research. Gallian Sandstorm, a senior lecturer in psychology at the university of Essex in the UK, has done research on something called the “liking gap”, which says that the little voice in your head telling you that somebody doesn’t like you very much is wrong. 3 Instead, remember that when you talk to someone else, you are actually brightening their day.
Invest in activities that you love. Ask anyone about how to make friends and they will most likely tell you to try a new hobby. It might sound empty, but it works. 4 Then people will be drawn to you because you will be in the right place.
Be present. The planet is warming, and there is so much good television out there to watch. We get it. But if you want to keep your friendships, you have to show up for them. 5
A. So don’t listen to it.
B. But you have to accept it.
C. Do the things you are crazy about.
D. You don’t have to be interested in just one thing.
E. You have to listen and notice things about your friend.
F. Remember that people will like you more than you think they will.
G. We have a few tips for being present and engaged with your friends.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·湖南县汉寿县第一中学-11月·期中)Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend
●Show respect for their life choices and decisions
Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices, have different views on politics and religion, and act differently in many ways. This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 1
●Give them the benefit of the doubt
2 If you’re in doubt about something, ask your friend. Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感).
●Give friends your full attention
One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully. Allow them to pause, convey nonverbal communication clues, collect their thoughts, and get it all out. Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 3 When your friend is talking, pay attention.
● 4
Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them.
●Show up, be there, and do what you say you’re going to do
5 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time, keeping promises, and being the one friend they can always count on. That’s the way to truly show respect.
A. Consider your friendship a precious gift.
B. This type of behavior is very disrespectful.
C. Tell your friends what you think about them directly.
D. In fact, you can almost do nothing but accept the differences.
E. Treating your friends with suspicion(猜疑) can be a dangerous thing.
F. It means that you’ll need to take a step back, reserve judgment, and show respect.
G. No one likes an unreliable friend who says they’ll be there and then doesn’t show.

Passage 1

Meanwhile, you may take the chance to see how the kids feel about you so that you may know how you will do better next year.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙长郡中学-11月·期中)Improve your attention span
May I have your attention, please? I’ll try and be quick, as I probably only have about 47 seconds before your mind starts wandering (走神). That, according to psychologist Dr Gloria Mark, is now our average attention span (注意力持续时间), based on her latest study of people’s use of screens in the workplace. Of course, this figure has its limits. As other psychologists have argued your concentration can vary so much, the very idea of an “average" attention span is almost meaningless. 1 .
Nevertheless, it’s likely your attention span is decreasing. As one recent survey suggests, nearly half the population nowadays feels as if theirs is worse than it was. 2 .
Of course, we can silence our phone notifications (通知) and put on noise-canceling headphones. 3 . Unknowingly, you’re “interrupting” yourself all day long, according to Mark. Even while reading this, you may have gotten the sudden desire to look something up online, check your emails or do something else. “It’s something we do without realizing,” said Mark.
4 . Lining up your most mentally taxing tasks with your natural peaks (顶峰) of focus is key to concentration, says Mark. Her research has found that, on average, these high points occur around 10
a.m. in the morning and around 2 — 3 p.m. in the afternoon. 5 , depending on whether you’re more of a morning person or a night person. “If a person is an early type, their peak focus would be earlier — before 10
a.m.,” explains Mark. “And if they’re a late type, their peak focus will be later.”
A. There are differences around these times
B. Don’t expect to always be focused and productive
C. One solution to this is to pay attention to your body clock
D. Because of this, there isn’t even scientific agreement on how to measure focus
E. With the ever-present pull of our emails and social media, it’s easy to see why
F. However, even when we’ve done all that, there’s still the enemy within to deal with
G. While we don’t all have the same attention span, truly paying attention to something is universal
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·湖南长沙雅礼教育集团·期中)The Art of Being a Good Friend
Everyone wants to be a good friend, but sometimes we might not be sure what it truly means. Being a good friend isn’t just about having fun together; it’s about the everyday efforts that strengthen your bond. 1 It’s built on a foundation of trust, support, and respect.
Trust is the first essential element. A trustworthy friend always keeps his promise. If you say you’re going to do something, follow through. 2 You may feel safe sharing your true thoughts and feelings without fear of being laughed at or having your secrets told to others.
Another key part is offering support in both good and bad times. Celebrate your friend’s successes as if they were your own. 3 Simply being there, offering a kind word, or helping them with a small task can make a world of difference.
4 This includes listening to them without interruption and valuing their opinions even when you disagree. At its heart, respect means that you accept your friend for who they are. No one is perfect, and disagreements are normal. 5 Talk things through honestly, and be willing to forgive. As a matter of fact, a true friend values the friendship more than the need to be right.
In the end, being a good friend is a continuous process of learning, understanding, and caring.
A. This doesn’t require grand gestures.
B. What matters is how you handle them.
C. It also creates a safe space for honesty.
D. However, it’s equally important to be there during tough times.
E. True friendship goes beyond simply sharing hobbies or interests.
F. Respect, the third pillar, is shown through your actions and attitudes.
G. Finally, remember that friendship is a two-way street that requires effort from both sides.
