专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·云南怒江·期中）How to Stay Focused Staying focused can help you complete a variety of professional and personal tasks, from studying for a test to finishing your work an hour early. There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better. Make a to-do list. Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one. 1 Organize your workspace. Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration. 2 Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit. Give yourself a time limit for each task. 3 Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task. Be realistic about this judgement. Then, try to complete each task within the range of each time limit. Make time for breaks during the day. Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused. 4 This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead. 5 Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task. A. Prioritize your tasks. B. Multi-task less to make you focused. C. This will also keep you focused on one task at a time. D. Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. E. You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work. F. It’s better to save the easier or more manageable tasks for the end of the day. G. Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. D 4. E 5. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，围绕“如何保持专注”展开，从制定待办清单、整理工作空间、设定任务时限、安排休息时间、避免多任务处理五个方面，给出具体实用的方法，帮助人们提升专注力以高效完成各类任务。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one.(每天或每周一开始制定一份待办清单，能让你更专注、更积极地推进工作。当你划掉清单上的任务，接着着手下一项时，会收获更强的成就感)”可知，此空需补充制定待办清单对“保持专注”的另一重作用。C选项“This will also keep you focused on one task at a time.(这也能让你一次专注于一项任务)”中的“This”指代“制定待办清单”，“keep you focused”呼应段落主题，补充了清单帮助集中注意力的具体表现，衔接自然。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration.(整洁的环境能帮助你集中注意力，让你更专注地完成工作)”以及下文“Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit.(清理你的桌面，只留下工作必需的物品，再放几张照片或纪念品，帮自己稍微放松一下)”可知，此空需给出“整理工作空间”的具体做法，即清除干扰物。G选项“Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task.(移除所有会分散你注意力且与任务无关的东西)”承接上文“整洁空间的重要性”，衔接下文“清理桌面”的具体操作，明确“整理”的核心是清除干扰，符合语境。故选G项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Give yourself a time limit for each task.(为每项任务设定时间限制)”以及下文“Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task.(在清单上的每个项目旁，写下完成该任务所需的时间)”可知，此空需建立“待办清单”与“设定时限”的关联。D选项“Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list.(时间管理与制定待办清单密不可分)”直接点明两者的关联，“making a to-do list”呼应前文清单相关内容，“managing your time”引出下文“设定任务时长”的具体做法，符合逻辑。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused.(虽然在日程表中加入放松环节听起来有些反直觉，但这一步实际上能帮你保持专注)”以及下文“This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead.(这能让你更有精力完成当前任务，还能让眼睛得到休息，同时为接下来的任务预留准备时间)”可知，此空需给出“休息”的具体方式或时长建议。E选项“You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work.(每工作一小时，你应该至少休息5-10分钟)”明确了休息的频率和时长，承接上文“安排休息时间”的建议，衔接下文休息的好处，符合语境。故选E项。 (5)题解析： 分析语篇结构，此处需为段落小标题，概括本段核心内容。根据下文“Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task.(很多人错误地认为多任务处理很高效，因为它能让你同时处理多项任务。相反，多任务处理实际上会让你的大脑陷入混乱、拖慢你的节奏，阻碍你全身心投入到任何一项任务中)”可知，本段围绕“避免多任务处理以保持专注”展开。B选项“Multi-task less to make you focused.(减少多任务处理，让你更专注)”精准概括段落主题，直接点明“减少多任务”与“保持专注”的关联，符合小标题简洁明确的要求。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·云南师范大学附属中学·期中）How to Stop Laughing at Inappropriate Times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation. 1 However, when inappropriate laughter negatively affects your life, start by controlling your urge to laugh. If you can’t, try one of these options for shifting your thoughts away from what’s triggering (触发) your laughter. ●Distract yourself from your urge to laugh. It takes time to learn how to control your tendency to laugh, but distraction is an easy way to stop yourself. You can try to pinch yourself, for the slight pain will distract you from your urge to laugh. 2 . More simply, just look for a certain color in the room or sing a song to yourself. ● 3 . Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues. Once you know what they are, you can begin to address your habit of laughing. ●Move to a private location when you start to laugh, if you can. 4 . This gives you time to calm yourself and take a few deep breaths before rejoining everyone. Learn to recognize the urge that comes before you laugh, and try to identify your laughter triggers so that you can excuse yourself in time. ●Apologize for your laughter, if it still happens. Tell the person you often cope with upsetting feelings by laughing, then say you’re sorry if the reaction hurts them. Opening up to them will likely make them understand where you’re coming from. 5 . A. Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately B. Record the results of your inappropriate laughter C. The key is to pick a distraction that is easy to do instantly D. This kind of honesty can also help relieve your urge to laugh E. When laughter strikes before you can stop it, excuse yourself F. It could also be a reaction to help you relieve stress and anxiety G. Mental exercises work too — make a list of groceries in your mind 【答案】1. F 2. G 3. A 4. E 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何控制自己在不恰当的时候发笑的几种方法。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation.(虽然在不恰当的时候笑可能会让人尴尬，但对一些人来说，当他们面对高度紧张的情况时，这实际上是一种自然的反应。)”可知，本空应进一步说明这种不合时宜发笑的本质。F选项“It could also be a reaction to help you relieve stress and anxiety.(这也可能是一种帮助你缓解压力和焦虑的反应。)”进一步解释了这种笑的积极作用，能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 (2)题解析： 由本段标题“Distract yourself from your urge to laugh.(分散注意力，抑制发笑的冲动。)”及上文“You can try to pinch yourself, for the slight pain will distract you from your urge to laugh.(你可以试着掐自己，轻微的疼痛会让你从发笑的冲动中分散注意力。)”可知，本空应列举另一种分散注意力的具体方法。G选项“Mental exercises work too — make a list of groceries in your mind (心理练习也有用 —— 在脑海中列一份杂货清单)”提出了脑力层面的分心方式，与前文“掐自己”的身体层面方法呼应，符合“分散注意力”的核心要求。故选G。 (3)题解析： 由下文“Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues.(你是因为紧张而笑，还是为了应对痛苦的感觉而笑？无论你笑的原因是什么，写下你的笑声何时给你带来问题。)”可知，本段主要讨论的是识别导致不合时宜发笑的原因，本空应概括这一主题。A选项“Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately.(识别是什么让你在不恰当的时候笑。)”能概括本段主题，符合题意。故选A。 (4)题解析： 由本段标题“Move to a private location when you start to laugh, if you can.(如果可以，当你开始笑的时候，转移到一个私密的地方。)”及下文“This gives you time to calm yourself and take a few deep breaths before rejoining everyone.(这会给你时间冷静下来，深呼吸几次，然后再回到大家身边。)” 可知，本空应说明转移到私密地方的具体行动前提。E选项“When laughter strikes before you can stop it, excuse yourself(当你来不及阻止笑声发作时，先致歉离开)”衔接了“发笑”和“转移地点”的逻辑，“致歉离开”是“转移到私密地方”的必要动作，符合语境。故选E。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Tell the person you often cope with upsetting feelings by laughing, then say you’re sorry if the reaction hurts them. Opening up to them will likely make them understand where you’re coming from.(告诉对方你经常通过笑来应对不愉快的情绪，如果这种反应伤害到他们，就道歉。向他们坦诚可能会让他们理解你的处境。)”可知，本空应说明这种坦诚的额外作用。D选项 “This kind of honesty can also help relieve your urge to laugh(这种坦诚也有助于缓解你发笑的冲动)”承接上文“坦诚让对方理解”的内容，补充了坦诚对自身的积极影响，逻辑递进，符合题意。故选D。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·云南景东彝族自治县第一中学·期中）Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 1 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. 2 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 3 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 4 Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 5 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. A 4. G 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨控制并非纯负面，分析其正负作用及产生控制欲的原因。 (1)题解析： 上文“However, control isn’t purely negative. (然而，控制并不完全是负面的)”及下文“ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. (它在我们生活中的作用要复杂得多)”说明控制的作用很复杂，空处承上启下，选项F中的“doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes”与下文中的“far more complicated”相呼应。所以F选项“实际上，控制不能简单地归入“好”或“坏”的范畴。”，符合语境。故选F。 (2)题解析： 下文“These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. (这些都表明，控制可以成为秩序与进步的推动力)”说明控制是有积极作用的，空处引出下文，选项B中的“positive”与下文中的“a force for order and progress”相呼应。所以B选项“控制有明显的积极应用”，符合语境。故选B。 (3)题解析： 上文“Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. (有些人会使用威胁，甚至暴力来强行推行自己的意志)”及下文“If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial - they can help address the harm. (如果你在他人的行为中识别出这种表现，或自己正经历这种情况，向可信赖的成年人寻求帮助至关重要——他们可以帮助应对由此造成的伤害)”说明控制欲失控，是一种虐待，经历的人应该向别人寻求帮助，空处承上启下，选项A中的“abuse”与下文中的“such behavior”相呼应。所以A选项“这可能是一种形式的虐待。”，符合语境。故选A。 (4)题解析： 上文“When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. (当我们感到不确定，或对生活感到迷茫时，掌控每一个细节的需求就成了应对情绪的一种方式。久而久之，这会形成一个不断强化的负面循环)”说明我们不能放任这种负面情绪不管，选项G中的“it”与上文中的“the need to manage every little thing”相呼应。所以G选项“如果不加以控制，它可能会破坏人际关系并引发压力”，符合语境。故选G。 (5)题解析： 上文“Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. (生活中的变化常常会激起控制的需求。身体或情绪上的变化、家庭冲突，或失去所爱之人，都会引发无力感。像开始上新学校或搬到不同城市这样的转变，也会扰乱我们的稳定感)”及下文“It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. (这是对生活不可预测性的一种自然反应)”说明生活中的变化常常会让控制的需求增多，空处承上启下，选项E中的“In such moments”与上文中的“Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one”及“Transitions”相呼应。所以E选项“在这样的时刻，重新掌控的需求会变得强烈”，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·云南多校·期中）Holidays abroad are easier than ever thanks to smartphones. With the autumn weather fast approaching, it’s the perfect time of year to jet off and get away from hustles and bustles. 1 Here are some top tips to make sure you’re not caught out on your break abroad. Treat yourself to a power bank The batteries inside our phones are typically designed to last for around a day of moderate usage. 2 So you’re going to want some extra support so you don’t end up going AWOL (absent without leave) when your phone dies. That’s why I recommend picking up a USB power bank, which will give you a little bit of extra juice to keep you connected to the rest of the world. Enable Data roaming (漫游) 3 The good news is that it is easier than ever to stay connected to the net when abroad. Make sure you check with your network provider what your roaming plan is. In many countries it is straightforward to buy a SIM card for a local network, with a much more generous data allowance. 4 If you’ve got a newer phone, it will probably support “eSIM” — where you can simply use an app like Holafly or Airalo while connected to wifi to set yourself up on a new network temporarily. Download offline application software And finally, you need to get your apps in order. Once you reach your destination you’ll need a mapping app, and maybe even a translation app — Apple and Google make their own version of both. And modern translation apps are particularly exciting. 5 Then you get a clear translation. Make sure that all of the critical data is downloaded so that apps work offline and you can travel the world like a local. Bon voyage! A. What good is a phone without Internet access? B. You simply wave your phone at the scanner instead. C. In fact, you may not even need a physical card anymore. D. Why do you need to get your phone ready to be connected? E. But when you’re away from home, you’re probably using it so much more. F. You can typically just wave the camera of your phone over pretty much anything. G.

Many people enjoy this activity not only for the food but also for the fun and peace it brings. 1 First, when you grow your own vegetables, you can pick them fresh on the same day you eat them. 2 As is known to all, store-bought vegetables may lose nutrients (营养物) during long trips while your garden vegetables go directly from soil to table. Second, you can grow your own vegetables organically. You can control how your vegetables are grown, which means you can choose to grow them without using pesticides. 3 Even “organic” vegetables from stores might still have natural pesticides. By growing your own, you know exactly what goes into your food. 4 Being outside in the sun and fresh air helps reduce stress. It helps you feel calm and relaxed. Watching plants grow from tiny seeds to full meals brings a special kind of joy. Finally, growing your own food helps protect the environment. Store-bought vegetables often travel long distances by trucks, which use oil and create pollution. They also come in plastic packaging. However, growing your own vegetables minimizes the transportation and packaging needed. 5 In short, home gardening gives us healthy food, peace of mind, and a cleaner planet. Why not try it yourself? A. So it saves resources and reduces waste. B. Besides, gardening is good for your mind and body. C. Therefore, you can avoid some harmful chemicals. D. Some people prefer buying vegetables from the market. E. This means they are fresher, tastier, and more nutritious. F. In addition, you don’t need a big yard to grow vegetables. G.

Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. 1 The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. 2 Others are comforted by the thought that maybe with AI, robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Both dreams imagine robots already owning real sorrow, joy, or conscience — feelings no existing machine actually has. 3 The computer only wins with clear rules and huge data. It learns from our clicks and commands. Yet today’s AI already beats humans in many areas. AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. 4 Researchers are also testing AI in driverless cars that sense surroundings and choose the best route. All these achievements are only possible when AI stays connected to hard facts and vast data. Until that all-thinking machine arrives, today’s AI stays a narrow, data-tied helper. Do you think that research can one day link memory, language, feeling, and open self-modelling into one united, self-centred machine? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human? Only when all these unknowns are solved, the difference stays clear: 5 A. AI’s sharp, adaptive mind quietly makes life smoother. B. It is also used to diagnose problems and suggest solutions. C. It reads X-ray faster than doctors and warns of potential attacks. D. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. E. The creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. F. Humans dream first, then build; machines only mirror whatever is placed in front of them. G. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. E 4. B 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了“机器能否拥有完整人类思维”这一问题，对比了人类与人工智能的核心特质，介绍了当前人工智能的应用局限，以及人类与人工智能的本质区别。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. (人类能够在无需他人输入的情况下自主做决定，还能从经验中学习)”以及下文“The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. (问题是，机器是否真的能在所有这些方面进行思考)”可知，上文说人类能独立决策并从经验中学习，下文则抛出了“机器能否同样思考”的问题。G选项“In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. (此外，人类能够凭借自身灵感创造事物，愉悦自我)”中的“In addition”承接上文，补充了人类的另一项核心能力，即灵感创造，与上文的“自主决策”“经验学习”共同构成人类思维的关键特质，从而使下文“all these aspects”有了完整的指代对象。故选G项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. (一台全能、能自主思考和做决定的计算机，这个想法让很多人感到恐惧。在一些电影里，人工智能甚至决定要消灭全人类)”以及下文“Others are comforted by the thought that maybe with AI, robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. (另一些人则感到欣慰，他们认为人工智能或许能造出机器人，替代逝去的亲人)”可知，上文描述了人们对强大计算机的恐惧，下文则描述了另一些人对人工智能的期待。D选项“Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. (很多人还担心人工智能会被用来取代人类)”中的“also concerned”与上文的“terrifies many people”相呼应，进一步列举了人类对人工智能的担忧，与下文“感到欣慰”的人群形成态度对比。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据下文“The computer only wins with clear rules and huge data. It learns from our clicks and commands. Yet today’s AI already beats humans in many areas. (计算机只有在规则明确、数据庞大的情况下才能胜出。它从我们的点击和指令中学习。然而如今的人工智能已经在很多领域超越了人类)”和“Until that all-thinking machine arrives, today’s AI stays a narrow, data-tied helper. (在那台具备完整思维的机器出现之前，当下的人工智能只是一种功能单一、依赖数据的辅助工具)”可知，下文指出人工智能虽在许多领域超过了人类，但在具备完整思维之前仍只是一种辅助工具。E选项“The creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. (一台具备人类思维的全能计算机，其研发工作仍在进行中)”是对本段内容的总起，“still in progress”点明了当前人工智能尚未达到“人类思维”高度的现状，与下文“today’s AI stays a narrow, data-tied helper”的描述契合，起到统领全段的作用。故选E项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. (人工智能已经成功应用于互联网搜索引擎，还能作为智能手机的个人助手)”以及下文“Researchers are also testing AI in driverless cars that sense surroundings and choose the best route. (研究人员还在测试将人工智能应用于无人驾驶汽车，使其能感知周边环境并选择最佳路线)”可知，上文和下文描述了人工智能在互联网搜索引擎、智能手机个人助理和无人驾驶方面的成功应用。B选项“It is also used to diagnose problems and suggest solutions. (它还被用于诊断问题并给出解决方案)”中的“It”指代人工智能，“also used”承接上文的应用案例，补充了人工智能在诊断领域的用途，与上下文的列举式表述一致，丰富了人工智能的应用场景。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Do you think that research can one day link memory, language, feeling, and open self-modelling into one united, self-centred machine? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human? Only when all these unknowns are solved, the difference stays clear: (你认为有一天的研究可以将记忆、语言、感觉和开放的自我建模连接成一个统一的、自我中心的机器吗？如果能实现，人工智能和人类真的还有区别吗？只有当所有这些未知问题都得到解决，二者的区别才会清晰可见)”可知，上文提出了关于人工智能和人类之间区别的疑问，并指出只有当所有未知问题都得到解决时，区别才会清晰。F选项“Humans dream first, then build; machines only mirror whatever is placed in front of them. (人类先有梦想，再付诸创造；机器只能复制呈现在它面前的一切)”直接点明了人类与人工智能的本质区别，回答了上文提出的问题，“dream first, then build”体现了人类的主观创造性，“mirror whatever is placed in front of them”则指出了人工智能依赖数据和输入的局限性，作为结尾总结全文核心观点，逻辑通顺。故选F项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·云南楚雄联考·期中）In a quiet small mountain village lived a blind man. 1 , and darkness had never troubled him. Strangely enough, whenever he went out at night, he would always carry a lit lantern. The warm light was particularly noticeable in the dark night. One night, the moon was shining brightly. 2 . At that moment, a group of young travelers who had just finished dinner and were on their way back came towards him. They immediately realized he was blind, and what made them even more confused was that he was holding a lit lantern in his hand. “Look at him! He can’t see, yet he’s carrying a lantern. I wonder why?” “Could there be a special reason? Maybe the lantern has some use we don’t know about?” 3 . One of them even stepped forward and asked curiously, “Hey, excuse me! Since you can’t see, why do you still carry a lantern when you go out?” Hearing that, the blind man didn’t get angry at all. He just smiled and said, “It’s true that I can’t see, so this lantern doesn’t light the way for me. 4 : for people like you who can see, it brightens the path so you won’t lose your way. And for me, if the light lets you notice me in the dark, you won’t accidentally knock into me. That way, we both stay safe.” After listening to the blind man’s words, the young travelers all nodded and said warmly, “ 5 ! You’re truly thoughtful!” A. That makes so much sense B. But it helps both others and me C. That is why I am carrying this lantern D. The young travelers apologized for their behaviors E. To him, there was not much difference between day and night F. The travelers talked to each other, their words full of confusion G. The blind man walked on the country road with his lantern as usual 【答案】1. E 2. G 3. F 4. B 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是在一个安静小山村里的一个盲人，尽管自身看不见，但每当夜晚外出时总会提着一盏点亮的灯笼，这一行为引起了年轻旅行者们的困惑和好奇。 (1)题解析： 空前“In a quiet small mountain village lived a blind man. (在一个安静的小山村里住着一个盲人。)”说明农村里住着一个盲人，空后“darkness had never troubled him (黑暗从来没有困扰过他)”说明黑暗没有困扰过他，空格处需要一个能解释为什么黑暗不困扰盲人的句子。E选项“To him, there was not much difference between day and night (对他来说，白天和黑夜没有多大区别)”很好地说明了因为白天黑夜对他区别不大，所以黑暗才不困扰他，符合语境，故选E。 (2)题解析： 后文“They immediately realized he was blind, and what made them even more confused was that he was holding a lit lantern in his hand .(他们立刻意识到他是个盲人，更让他们困惑的是，他手里拿着一盏亮着的灯笼。)”提到那群年轻人发现盲人提着灯笼，G选项“The blind man walked on the country road with his lantern as usual (盲人像往常一样提着灯笼走在乡间小路上)”既承接了前文的时间背景，又引出了后文年轻人看到他提着灯笼的情景，符合逻辑，故选G。 (3)题解析： 空前“Could there be a special reason? Maybe the lantern has some use we don’t know about? (会有什么特别的原因吗？也许灯笼有什么我们不知道的用处？)”是年轻人们的猜测，说明他们对盲人提着灯笼的行为存在困惑，F选项“The travelers talked to each other, their words full of confusion (旅行者们互相交谈着，言语中充满了困惑)”描述了旅行者们的困惑，与前文呼应，故选F。 (4)题解析： 空后“for people like you who can see, it brightens the path so you won’t lose your way. And for me, if the light lets you notice me in the dark, you won’t accidentally knock into me. That way, we both stay safe. (对于像你这样能看见的人，它照亮了你的道路，让你不会迷失方向。对我来说，如果光能让你在黑暗中注意到我，你就不会不小心撞到我。这样我们就都安全了。)”说明盲人提灯笼对盲人自己和他人都有好处，B选项“But it helps both others and me (但这对别人和我都有帮助)”起到了很好的过渡作用，说明盲人提灯笼对他自己和别人都有好处，因此符合语境，故选B。 (5)题解析： 前文“After listening to the blind man’s words, the young travelers all nodded and said warmly (听了盲人的话，年轻的旅行者们都点了点头，热情地说)”说明年轻人也觉得盲人提灯笼对他人和对他自己都好，也就是他提灯笼是很有意义的，A选项“That makes so much sense (这很有道理)”说明了盲人提灯笼很有意义，承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·云南新纪元云贵发展中心·期中）Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure.

Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere. Before you grow tomatoes, check if your area has the right climatic conditions for this purpose. 1 And if it doesn’t, just give up this idea. 2 One is to grow them from seed and the other is to grow them from the plants. The seeds usually take six to eight weeks to grow. If you don’t know how to grow tomatoes from seed, you can consider buying the plants directly. Many of these plants can be found at most garden centers. Tomatoes don’t grow well in cool conditions. 3 Tomatoes require areas with full sun and should have enough protection from strong winds as well, that’s more, they require a lot of water; therefore, you had better water your tomato plants regularly. 4 Check tomato plants daily for any ripe produce. Picking often helps more to grow. Once the end of growing season is coming, it’s helpful to remove any flowers as well. 5 If you still have a lot of green tomatoes during this time, go ahead and pick them. These can be stored in a warm area up to four weeks, and then they will turn red. A. It's not that difficult to grow tomatoes. B. Doing this can help existing fruits grow. C. If it does, find some land for growing some. D. There is one popular way to grow tomatoes. E. There are two ways for you to grow tomatoes. F. Pay attention to all these things to grow tomatoes well. G. They require an average temperature of 65 °F or higher to grow well . 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. G 4. F 5. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。在适当的气候条件下，你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。文章主要介绍了种植西红柿的方法。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere. Before you grow tomatoes, check if your area has the right climatic conditions for this purpose.(在适当的气候条件下，你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。在你种植西红柿之前，检查你所在地区的气候条件是否适合种植西红柿)”以及后文“And if it doesn’t, just give up this idea.(如果不适合，就放弃这个想法)”可知，后文假设了不适合种植西红柿的情况，可知本句是在假设气候条件适合的情况，故C选项“如果适合，找一些土地种植”符合语境，故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据后文“One is to grow them from seed and the other is to grow them from the plants.(一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来的)”可知，种植西红柿有两种方法，一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来。故E选项“你有两种种植西红柿的方法”符合语境，故选E。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Tomatoes don’t grow well in cool conditions.(西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好)”可知，上文提到西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好，可知本句承接上文说明适合西红柿生长的温度环境，G选项中They指代上文Tomatoes。故G选项“它们需要65°F或更高的平均温度才能生长良好”符合语境，故选G。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Tomatoes require areas with full sun and should have enough protection from strong winds as well, that’s more, they require a lot of water; therefore, you had better water your tomato plants regularly.(西红柿需要阳光充足的地方，也应该有足够的保护，以防强风，更重要的是，它们需要大量的水；因此，你最好定期给你的番茄植株浇水)”可知，上文提到了种植西红柿需要阳光充足、足够的保护和大量的水，这些都是种植西红柿需要注意的因素。故F选项“要把西红柿种好，注意所有这些因素”符合语境，故选F。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Check tomato plants daily for any ripe produce. Picking often helps more to grow. Once the end of growing season is coming, it’s helpful to remove any flowers as well.(每天检查番茄植株是否有成熟的果实。采摘往往有助于更多的成长。一旦生长季节结束，也可以把花移走)”可知，上文提到采摘有助于西红柿生长，且提到了把花移走，可见本句承接上文说明这么做的原因：帮助现有的果实生长。故B选项“这样做可以帮助现有的果实生长”符合语境，故选B。 Passage 7 （25-26高二上·云南昆明第三中学等校-11月·期中）Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 1 ” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. 2 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. 3 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 4 You and your partner will probably have different skills. 5 Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. G 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·云南昆明嵩明县-11月·期中）It is widely accepted that exposure to language — whether through reading, speaking, or singing — plays an essential role in early childhood development. Engaging with language helps build neural connections that support cognitive growth. 1 This is largely because written texts generally contain richer and more complex vocabulary than everyday spoken communication. In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward introducing formal literacy skills at a very early age, sometimes even during preschool. 2 Many parents and educators believe that starting earlier allows more time for children to master reading, potentially giving them an academic advantage. However, educational research indicates that this early push for reading does not always lead to better long-term results. 3 In fact, some studies show that children who begin reading instruction later, around age six or seven, often catch up quickly to those who started earlier. 4 One reason may be that older children can more easily connect what they read to their existing knowledge and experiences, which supports deeper comprehension. Therefore, focusing too much on very early literacy may be misguided. 5 What matters most is creating a supportive, language-rich environment full of stories, conversations, and interactive experiences — not enforcing a strict, premature teaching schedule. The real goal should be cultivating a genuine love for communication and stories from the beginning. A. Unfortunately, this can lead to decreased interest in reading later in life. B. On the contrary, it may even cause unnecessary pressure on young kids. C. In fact, the benefits of early reading may be less than many people expect. D. For example, reading aloud to children can significantly boost their vocabulary. E. Moreover, these children sometimes develop stronger reading comprehension skills. F. They assume that the earlier a child reads, the more successful they will be academically. G. In other words, early reading doesn’t necessarily make a child a better reader in the long run. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. C 4. E 5. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了早期阅读对儿童发展的影响，指出过早强调阅读可能带来的问题，并强调创造语言丰富环境的重要性。 (1)题解析： 上文“Engaging with language helps build neural connections that support cognitive growth.(接触语言有助于建立支持认知发展的神经连接)”阐述了接触语言的好处，D选项“For example, reading aloud to children can significantly boost their vocabulary.(例如，给孩子大声朗读可以显著提高他们的词汇量)”通过举例进一步说明接触语言的具体方式及其带来的好处，与上文构成例证关系，上下文衔接紧密。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 上文“In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward introducing formal literacy skills at a very early age, sometimes even during preschool.(近年来，有一种越来越流行的趋势，即在很小的时候，有时甚至在学前阶段就引入正式的读写技能)”提出早期引入正式读写技能的趋势，F选项“They assume that the earlier a child reads, the more successful they will be academically.(他们认为孩子阅读越早，在学业上就会越成功)”解释了这种趋势背后的原因，即人们认为孩子阅读越早，学业就会越成功，上下文逻辑关系清晰。故选F项。 (3)题解析： 上文“However, educational research indicates that this early push for reading does not always lead to better long-term results.(然而，教育研究表明，这种早期对阅读的推动并不总是带来更好的长期结果)”指出早期阅读的推动并不一定带来好的长期结果，C选项“In fact, the benefits of early reading may be less than many people expect.(事实上，早期阅读的好处可能比许多人预期的要少)”进一步强调早期阅读的好处可能不如人们预期的那么多，与上文意思一致，起到了补充说明的作用。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 上文“In fact, some studies show that children who begin reading instruction later, around age six or seven, often catch up quickly to those who started earlier.

Becoming aware of the body language you use when communicating can help you ensure your message is being delivered effectively. Here are some steps you can take to improve your body language. Make eye contact It’s important to make eye contact with the person you’re speaking to. 2 A simple strategy to ensure you’re maintaining the right amount of eye contact is to look into the person’s eyes long enough to take note of their eye color before looking away. This strategy ensures you make proper eye contact for a length of time that’s natural and comfortable to both parties. Relax your shoulders One step you can take to improve your body language is to relax your shoulders, allowing them to drop to a comfortable height. Shoulders that are too high can make you look nervous. 3 Be aware of where they are currently sitting and allow them to drop to a natural position. Nod from time to time Nodding is a good way to show the person you’re speaking with that you’re listening and engaged in what they’re saying. 4 Also, it makes them know that you agree with or are interested in the message they’re sharing, which can help to increase their confidence. Smile from the bottom of your heart Smile when you’re first introduced to someone and throughout the conversation, when appropriate. Be aware of your facial expressions throughout the course of the conversation, as an expressionless face can often appear as an angry expression. 5 A. A sincere smile can brighten up the darkest day.

There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better. Make a to-do list. Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one. 1 Organize your workspace. Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration. 2 Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit. Give yourself a time limit for each task. 3 Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task. Be realistic about this judgement. Then, try to complete each task within the range of each time limit. Make time for breaks during the day. Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused. 4 This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead. 5 Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task. A. Prioritize your tasks. B. Multi-task less to make you focused. C. This will also keep you focused on one task at a time. D. Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. E. You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work. F. It’s better to save the easier or more manageable tasks for the end of the day. G. Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·云南师范大学附属中学·期中）How to Stop Laughing at Inappropriate Times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation. 1 However, when inappropriate laughter negatively affects your life, start by controlling your urge to laugh. If you can’t, try one of these options for shifting your thoughts away from what’s triggering (触发) your laughter. ●Distract yourself from your urge to laugh. It takes time to learn how to control your tendency to laugh, but distraction is an easy way to stop yourself. You can try to pinch yourself, for the slight pain will distract you from your urge to laugh. 2 . More simply, just look for a certain color in the room or sing a song to yourself. ● 3 . Do you laugh out of nervousness, or do you laugh to cope with painful feelings? Whatever your reasons for laughing, write down when your laughter is causing you issues. Once you know what they are, you can begin to address your habit of laughing. ●Move to a private location when you start to laugh, if you can. 4 . This gives you time to calm yourself and take a few deep breaths before rejoining everyone. Learn to recognize the urge that comes before you laugh, and try to identify your laughter triggers so that you can excuse yourself in time. ●Apologize for your laughter, if it still happens. Tell the person you often cope with upsetting feelings by laughing, then say you’re sorry if the reaction hurts them. Opening up to them will likely make them understand where you’re coming from. 5 . A. Identify what makes you laugh inappropriately B. Record the results of your inappropriate laughter C. The key is to pick a distraction that is easy to do instantly D. This kind of honesty can also help relieve your urge to laugh E. When laughter strikes before you can stop it, excuse yourself F. It could also be a reaction to help you relieve stress and anxiety G. Mental exercises work too — make a list of groceries in your mind Passage 3 （25-26高二上·云南景东彝族自治县第一中学·期中）Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 1 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. 2 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 3 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 4 Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 5 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·云南多校·期中）Holidays abroad are easier than ever thanks to smartphones. With the autumn weather fast approaching, it’s the perfect time of year to jet off and get away from hustles and bustles. 1 Here are some top tips to make sure you’re not caught out on your break abroad. Treat yourself to a power bank The batteries inside our phones are typically designed to last for around a day of moderate usage. 2 So you’re going to want some extra support so you don’t end up going AWOL (absent without leave) when your phone dies. That’s why I recommend picking up a USB power bank, which will give you a little bit of extra juice to keep you connected to the rest of the world. Enable Data roaming (漫游) 3 The good news is that it is easier than ever to stay connected to the net when abroad. Make sure you check with your network provider what your roaming plan is. In many countries it is straightforward to buy a SIM card for a local network, with a much more generous data allowance. 4 If you’ve got a newer phone, it will probably support “eSIM” — where you can simply use an app like Holafly or Airalo while connected to wifi to set yourself up on a new network temporarily. Download offline application software And finally, you need to get your apps in order. Once you reach your destination you’ll need a mapping app, and maybe even a translation app — Apple and Google make their own version of both. And modern translation apps are particularly exciting. 5 Then you get a clear translation. Make sure that all of the critical data is downloaded so that apps work offline and you can travel the world like a local. Bon voyage! A. What good is a phone without Internet access? B. You simply wave your phone at the scanner instead. C. In fact, you may not even need a physical card anymore. D. Why do you need to get your phone ready to be connected? E. But when you’re away from home, you’re probably using it so much more. F. You can typically just wave the camera of your phone over pretty much anything. G. But before leaving for the airport, ensure your phone is ready for the journey ahead! Passage 5 （25-26高二上·云南昭通第一中学教研联盟·期中）Growing your own vegetables is becoming more and more popular. Many people enjoy this activity not only for the food but also for the fun and peace it brings. 1 First, when you grow your own vegetables, you can pick them fresh on the same day you eat them. 2 As is known to all, store-bought vegetables may lose nutrients (营养物) during long trips while your garden vegetables go directly from soil to table. Second, you can grow your own vegetables organically. You can control how your vegetables are grown, which means you can choose to grow them without using pesticides. 3 Even “organic” vegetables from stores might still have natural pesticides. By growing your own, you know exactly what goes into your food. 4 Being outside in the sun and fresh air helps reduce stress. It helps you feel calm and relaxed. Watching plants grow from tiny seeds to full meals brings a special kind of joy. Finally, growing your own food helps protect the environment. Store-bought vegetables often travel long distances by trucks, which use oil and create pollution. They also come in plastic packaging. However, growing your own vegetables minimizes the transportation and packaging needed. 5 In short, home gardening gives us healthy food, peace of mind, and a cleaner planet. Why not try it yourself? A. So it saves resources and reduces waste. B. Besides, gardening is good for your mind and body. C. Therefore, you can avoid some harmful chemicals. D. Some people prefer buying vegetables from the market. E. This means they are fresher, tastier, and more nutritious. F. In addition, you don’t need a big yard to grow vegetables. G. Here are some good reasons why home gardening is so great. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·云南昭通第一中学教研联盟·期中）Can a machine ever hold a full human mind? Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. 1 The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, AI even decides that all humans must be killed. 2 Others are comforted by the thought that maybe with AI, robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Both dreams imagine robots already owning real sorrow, joy, or conscience — feelings no existing machine actually has. 3 The computer only wins with clear rules and huge data. It learns from our clicks and commands. Yet today’s AI already beats humans in many areas. AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. 4 Researchers are also testing AI in driverless cars that sense surroundings and choose the best route. All these achievements are only possible when AI stays connected to hard facts and vast data. Until that all-thinking machine arrives, today’s AI stays a narrow, data-tied helper. Do you think that research can one day link memory, language, feeling, and open self-modelling into one united, self-centred machine? If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human? Only when all these unknowns are solved, the difference stays clear: 5 A. AI’s sharp, adaptive mind quietly makes life smoother. B. It is also used to diagnose problems and suggest solutions. C. It reads X-ray faster than doctors and warns of potential attacks. D. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans. E. The creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. F. Humans dream first, then build; machines only mirror whatever is placed in front of them. G. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·云南楚雄联考·期中）In a quiet small mountain village lived a blind man. 1 , and darkness had never troubled him. Strangely enough, whenever he went out at night, he would always carry a lit lantern. The warm light was particularly noticeable in the dark night. One night, the moon was shining brightly. 2 . At that moment, a group of young travelers who had just finished dinner and were on their way back came towards him. They immediately realized he was blind, and what made them even more confused was that he was holding a lit lantern in his hand. “Look at him! He can’t see, yet he’s carrying a lantern. I wonder why?” “Could there be a special reason? Maybe the lantern has some use we don’t know about?” 3 . One of them even stepped forward and asked curiously, “Hey, excuse me! Since you can’t see, why do you still carry a lantern when you go out?” Hearing that, the blind man didn’t get angry at all. He just smiled and said, “It’s true that I can’t see, so this lantern doesn’t light the way for me. 4 : for people like you who can see, it brightens the path so you won’t lose your way. And for me, if the light lets you notice me in the dark, you won’t accidentally knock into me. That way, we both stay safe.” After listening to the blind man’s words, the young travelers all nodded and said warmly, “ 5 ! You’re truly thoughtful!” A. That makes so much sense B. But it helps both others and me C. That is why I am carrying this lantern D. The young travelers apologized for their behaviors E. To him, there was not much difference between day and night F. The travelers talked to each other, their words full of confusion G. The blind man walked on the country road with his lantern as usual Passage 3 （25-26高二上·云南新纪元云贵发展中心·期中）Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure. It can also help you open your mind to new ideas and perspectives. 1 They provide insight, tips, and inspiration for people looking to explore the world around them.

It can even help you gain insight into why people live differently from you. E. Her book has a great impact on readers. F. It can further improve conversation and fluency. G. In this book, Grande describes her journey from Mexico to America and how it shaped her life. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·云南曲靖沾益区-11月·期中）There’s magic in travel, and it’s obvious. Whether you’re flying to a dream place or taking a road trip, the joy of travel has a way of lighting up your soul. 1 It’s not just the change of scenery (风景) or the chance to escape your daily life—though those help! Let’s explore the deeper reasons behind why travel brings us so much happiness. Life can sometimes feel like a never-ending cycle of responsibilities—work, chores, and commitments. 2 That freedom fuels a sense of relaxation and adventure, relieving stress and boosting your mood. Plus, breaking free from routine helps you appreciate the little things when you return home. Travel brings you closer to people, whether it’s getting closer with travel partners or making friends with locals. 3 Human connection is a fundamental source of happiness, and travel is the perfect avenue (方法) for it. Stepping into unfamiliar places can be discouraging, but with each new trip, you grow more confident in your ability to deal with the unknown. Whether it’s figuring out a new subway system, or overcoming a language problem, travel challenges you to be resourceful and adaptable. 4 5 When you’re standing before a breathtaking sunset, wandering through busy markets, or hiking up a mountain trail, it’s hard to think about anything else. This presence in the moment is a key contributor to happiness, as it reduces anxiety and allows you to fully appreciate the beauty around you. A. Travel pulls you into the present. B. The more you explore, the more insignificant you feel. C. Travel exposes you to new sights, sounds, and cultures. D. But have you ever wondered why it makes you so happy? E. And with every challenge you overcome, your confidence grows. F. Travel allows you to escape into a world free of deadlines and alarms. G. These connections often result in unforgettable stories and precious memories.

Passage 1 （25-26高二上·云南昆明嵩明县-11月·期中）It is widely accepted that exposure to language — whether through reading, speaking, or singing — plays an essential role in early childhood development. Engaging with language helps build neural connections that support cognitive growth. 1 This is largely because written texts generally contain richer and more complex vocabulary than everyday spoken communication. In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward introducing formal literacy skills at a very early age, sometimes even during preschool. 2 Many parents and educators believe that starting earlier allows more time for children to master reading, potentially giving them an academic advantage. However, educational research indicates that this early push for reading does not always lead to better long-term results. 3 In fact, some studies show that children who begin reading instruction later, around age six or seven, often catch up quickly to those who started earlier. 4 One reason may be that older children can more easily connect what they read to their existing knowledge and experiences, which supports deeper comprehension. Therefore, focusing too much on very early literacy may be misguided. 5 What matters most is creating a supportive, language-rich environment full of stories, conversations, and interactive experiences — not enforcing a strict, premature teaching schedule. The real goal should be cultivating a genuine love for communication and stories from the beginning. A. Unfortunately, this can lead to decreased interest in reading later in life. B. On the contrary, it may even cause unnecessary pressure on young kids. C. In fact, the benefits of early reading may be less than many people expect. D. For example, reading aloud to children can significantly boost their vocabulary. E. Moreover, these children sometimes develop stronger reading comprehension skills. F. They assume that the earlier a child reads, the more successful they will be academically. G. In other words, early reading doesn’t necessarily make a child a better reader in the long run.
