To attract readers, you need to focus on key aspects like audience, formatting (排版), and expert knowledge. Here’s how to get started: 1 First, know who you’re writing for. If you don’t have a specific group in mind, aim for someone with basic tech knowledge but no love for complex terms. Next, use an informal style. 2 Unlike school essays, you can use sentence fragments (碎片) and adopt the first-person perspective, using words such as “I” and “me”. This helps readers establish a personal connection with your writing. Format posts for easy reading. Start with clear titles, headings and subheadings. Titles and headings need to be descriptive but short. A title like “Finding Problems with the New U-Phone 7” is better than “Testing the Product.” Use numbered lists to show key information. 3 If your post is over 2,000 words, consider dividing it into a series of interesting parts, each capable of standing on its own to maintain readers’ interest and encourage them to return for the following parts. Display your expert knowledge. Focus your posts on areas where you can write with authority. Research through well-regarded technology journals, websites and blogs before writing. 4 The technology world develops rapidly, so sources become outdated quite fast. Include links to high-quality content from other technology bloggers, which makes your article more trust-worthy. However, don’t just repeat others’ ideas. 5 A. Focus on basic knowledge. B. Avoid old technology sources. C. Tailor your style to your audience. D. Blogs aren’t the same as formal academic writing. E. Instead, ensure that you provide your own original thoughts. F. Even with your knowledge, solid research boosts a post’s appeal. G. This breaks up long paragraphs and makes content easier to follow. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. G 4. B 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了写科技博客的一些方法，包括针对目标受众、采用恰当的格式以及展示专业知识等方面。 (1)题解析： 根据下文“First, know who you’re writing for. If you don’t have a specific group in mind, aim for someone with basic tech knowledge but no love for complex terms. Next, use an informal style.(首先，要知道你是为谁写作。如果你心里没有特定的群体，那就以有基本技术知识但不喜欢复杂术语的人为目标。其次，使用非正式的风格)”可知，此段主要讲述要针对目标受众来调整写作风格。C选项“Tailor your style to your audience.(根据你的受众来调整你的风格)”符合上下文语境，能够概括整段内容。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 上文“Next, use an informal style.(其次，使用非正式的风格)”提出使用非正式风格，D选项“Blogs aren’t the same as formal academic writing.(博客和正式的学术写作不一样)”进一步解释说明博客与正式学术写作的不同，即强调博客可以使用非正式风格，与上文衔接紧密。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 上文“Use numbered lists to show key information.(使用编号列表来展示关键信息)”建议使用编号列表展示关键信息，G选项“This breaks up long paragraphs and makes content easier to follow.(这会打破长段落，使内容更容易理解)”解释了使用编号列表的作用，即可以打破长段落，让内容更易读，其中“This”指代上文“Use numbered lists”这一做法。故选G项。 (4)题解析： 下文“The technology world develops rapidly, so sources become outdated quite fast.(科技世界发展迅速，所以资料很快就会过时)”强调了资料更新快的问题，B选项“Avoid old technology sources.(避免使用过时的科技资料)”符合语境，说明在写作时要注意避免使用过时的资料，与下文逻辑一致。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 上文“However, don’t just repeat others’ ideas.(然而，不要只是重复别人的想法)”指出不能只是重复他人的观点，E选项“Instead, ensure that you provide your own original thoughts.(相反，要确保你提供自己的原创想法)”与之呼应，说明应该提供自己的原创思想，上下文形成对比关系。故选E项。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中·期中）In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1 Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming. 3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry. The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field. Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices. A. Vertical farming has a rich history. B. One solution is indoor vertical farming. C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds. D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round. E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon. F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides. G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5.

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.

Many people feel panicked before speaking in public, sharing their ideas in meetings, or even walking into a room full of strangers. 1 The good news is that you don’t have to be controlled by it. There are practical steps to weaken its influence. The first step is to replace negative thoughts with positive self-talk. Guide yourself toward confidence-building statements such as “I’ve prepared well” or “I have valuable ideas to share.” 2 Taking a few deep breaths also helps to calm your body and send a signal of safety to your brain. Another strategy lies in cultivating greater self-awareness. Most of us merely have a vague idea of who we are. 3 By identifying your values and shaping a personal philosophy, you’ll feel less pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations. 4 Begin with small steps that feel authentic yet slightly bold. This could be sharing an unpopular idea in a meeting, dancing freely at a party, or simply saying “no” to a request that upsets you. The goal is to prove to yourself that expressing your true self is not only safe but empowering. Each time you do this, you strengthen a self-image rooted in courage rather than fear, making you less likely to be influenced by external judgments. Finally, not every voice deserves your attention. Create a short list of trusted individuals whose opinions are consistent with your values and who understand the person you want to become. 5 A. But that is often not enough. B. Another vital method is to face social discomfort. C. These statements shift your focus to your own strengths. D. This fear of social disapproval may considerably harm your potential. E. A powerful way forward is to accumulate evidence of your own courage. F. Therefore, learning to reframe this anxiety as excitement can be a powerful tool G.

But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. 1 Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. 2 The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. 3 They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. 4 Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. 5 matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. F 4. A 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐具颜色对食客用餐感受的影响，并给出不同场景下的餐具颜色选择建议。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. (经过数小时的烹饪和餐桌布置，你的目标很简单：为客人打造一场难忘的用餐体验。但成功不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材和烹饪技巧)”可知，上文提及用餐体验的成功要素不止食材和厨艺，下文紧接着围绕餐具颜色展开，空处需引出“颜色”这一核心话题。G选项“盘子等餐具的颜色会影响客人对食物的感受。”既衔接了上文的用餐体验话题，又自然引出下文对颜色影响的详细阐述，符合语境。故选G项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响从第一眼就开始了)”以及下文“The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. (大脑会处理颜色信息并将其与味觉关联，让我们判断同一道菜是美味的、普通的还是令人没胃口的)”可知，上文讲颜色带来第一眼影响，下文说明大脑对颜色的处理过程，此处需衔接“第一眼印象”和后续的连锁反应。D选项“这种最初的视觉印象会引发一系列连锁反应。”中的initial visual impression对应上文的first glance，chain reaction对应下文大脑处理颜色并关联味觉的过程，符合语境。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. (对于挑食的人来说，碗的颜色至关重要)”以及下文“They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. (他们常常觉得装在红色或蓝色碗里的食物比装在白色碗里的更咸)”可知，上文强调碗的颜色对挑食者很重要，下文具体说明其对食物味道感知的影响，此处需体现挑食者对餐具颜色的敏感度。F选项“他们对餐具颜色的反应往往更敏感。”中的Their指代上文的picky eaters，且呼应下文挑食者对不同颜色碗中食物咸度的不同感知，符合语境。故选F项。 (4)题解析： 根据下文“Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. (例如，黑色盘子会让食物看起来更咸，份量也更大。这意味着深色餐具需要仔细考虑菜品的口味和份量)”可知，下文以黑色盘子为例，详细说明深色餐具的影响，此处需总领深色餐具相关内容。A选项“深色盘子有更多样的影响。”中的Dark plates对应下文的Black plates，dark tableware，且总起下文对其具体影响的描述，符合语境。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. (相反，亮色盘子能增添创意，突出颜色不鲜艳的食物，但也可能出错)”以及下文“matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. (如果盘子颜色与食物颜色过于接近，所有东西都会混在一起，会让份量看起来更小)”可知，上文讲亮色盘子可能出错，下文举了颜色过于接近的例子，此处需补充亮色盘子出错的另一种情况。C选项“不合适的亮色调会让食物看起来很不自然。”承接上文亮色盘子的弊端，与下文的颜色搭配问题共同说明亮色盘子可能出错的情况，符合语境。故选C项。 Passage 6 （25-26高二上·山东名校考试联盟·期中）The Comfort Zone describes the psychological conflict between the desperate desire for growth and the fundamental need for safety and predictability. Psychologists describe it as a mental state in which people stick to well-practiced routines to achieve a steady, though not remarkable performance without feeling stressed or anxious. 1 So how does this conflicting behavior show up in real life? 2 We may avoid applying for a promotion, or hesitate to learn a new language. Traditional wisdom often encourages us to “play it safe” and not rock the boat when facing a tough nut. 3 For instance, a study from Harvard University found that individuals who regularly embraced new challenges showed a 35% increase in creative problem-solving abilities as well as enhanced cognitive flexibility over time. 4 Behavioral scientist Dr. Lena notes that many people develop avoidance patterns during adolescence, which may solidify (固化) into fixed routines in adulthood. Although these patterns may reduce temporary stress and anxiety, they often come at the cost of limiting exposure to valuable, growing experiences essential for personal advancement. In summary, the human drive for growth pulls us toward new experiences, even when uncertainty causes discomfort. Unlike animals that rely purely on instinct (本能), humans possess the ability to reflect and choose. 5 Therefore, by mindfully and courageously expanding our boundaries in a structured and intentional manner, we can go all out to achieve a delicate yet rewarding balance — enjoying the security of a foundation while reaching for the growth that lies just beyond. A. Whether should we stay in comfort zone or not? B. Such tendencies are often rooted in the early years. C. However, recent relevant studies challenge this view. D. This concept highlights the dilemma between safety and progress. E. Many individuals recall moments of unease when facing challenges. F. These experiences lead to a lasting unwillingness to take risks later in life. G. We have the power to assess situations and decide when to stretch our limits. 【答案】1. D 2. E 3. C 4. B 5. G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，文章围绕“舒适区”这一心理学概念展开。首先定义了舒适区；接着分析舒适区行为的成因；最后强调人类具备反思选择能力，鼓励有策略地突破舒适区以实现平衡。 (1)题解析： 上文“The Comfort Zone describes the psychological conflict between the desperate desire for growth and the fundamental need for safety and predictability. Psychologists describe it as a mental state in which people stick to well-practiced routines to achieve a steady, though not remarkable performance without feeling stressed or anxious. (舒适区指的是人们对成长的迫切渴望与对安全和可预测性的基本需求之间的心理冲突。心理学家将其描述为一种心理状态：人们固守熟练的常规，以获得稳定但并不突出的表现，且不会感到压力或焦虑。)”定义了“舒适区”的核心——冲突性与具体表现，空处需要总结该概念核心内涵的句子。选项D“This concept highlights the dilemma between safety and progress. (这个概念凸显了安全与进步之间的困境。)”中的“This concept”直接指代上文的“The Comfort Zone”，“dilemma between safety and progress”精准概括了上文“安全需求与成长渴望的冲突”，作为定义后的总结句，逻辑严谨且衔接自然。故选D。 (2)题解析： 上文“So how does this conflicting behavior show up in real life? (那么这种矛盾行为在现实生活中是如何体现的呢？)”提出“舒适区矛盾的现实表现”这一问题；下文“We may avoid applying for a promotion, or hesitate to learn a new language. (我们可能会避免申请晋升，或犹豫是否要学习一门新语言。)”列举了具体的回避行为。空处需要衔接“提出问题”与“具体例子”，且引出“回避挑战”表现的句子。选项E“Many individuals recall moments of unease when facing challenges.

(例如，哈佛大学的一项研究发现，经常接受新挑战的人，其创造性解决问题的能力会提高35%，认知灵活性也会随着时间的推移而增强。)”用研究数据反驳传统观念。空处需要体现“转折并引出新观点”的句子。选项C“However, recent relevant studies challenge this view. (然而，最近的相关研究对这一观点提出了挑战。)”以“However”承接上文传统观念形成转折，直接引出下文的哈佛研究案例。故选C。 (4)题解析： 下文“Behavioral scientist Dr. Lena notes that many people develop avoidance patterns during adolescence, which may solidify into fixed routines in adulthood. Although these patterns may reduce temporary stress and anxiety, they often come at the cost of limiting exposure to valuable, growing experiences essential for personal advancement. (行为科学家莉娜博士指出，许多人在青春期就形成了回避模式，这种模式可能会在成年后固化为固定的习惯。尽管这些模式可能会减轻暂时的压力和焦虑，但它们往往以限制接触对个人发展至关重要的宝贵成长经历为代价。)”分析了“回避模式（即舒适区行为）的成因——青春期形成，成年后固化”。空处需要点明“舒适区行为根源”的总起句。选项B“Such tendencies are often rooted in the early years. (这种倾向往往源于早年。)”中的“Such tendencies”指代下文的“avoidance patterns”，“rooted in the early years”直接呼应下文的“during adolescence”，作为段落主题句，精准统领“成因分析”的内容。故选B。 (5)题解析： 上文“In summary, the human drive for growth pulls us toward new experiences, even when uncertainty causes discomfort.

(因此，通过有意识、有勇气、有规划地拓展我们的边界，我们可以全力以赴实现一种微妙而有益的平衡——享受基础的安全感，同时追求更深远的成长。)”给出“拓展边界”的具体建议。空处需要衔接“反思选择能力”与“拓展边界建议”的句子。选项G“We have the power to assess situations and decide when to stretch our limits. (我们有能力评估形势，并决定何时突破自己的极限。)”中的“We have the power”承接上文“possess the ability to reflect and choose”，“decide when to stretch our limits”直接引出下文“expanding our boundaries”的建议。故选G。 Passage 7 （25-26高二上·湖北圆创联盟-11月阶段练习（·期中）If you had asked me a few years ago how I felt about exercise, I would have told you that while I had a gym membership, working out basically consisted of walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for fifteen minutes, pretending to use a few machines, and then making my escape. 1 I definitely needed an accountability partner (责任伙伴). I called local training studios, and one owner, Adria, stood out as approachable and motivating. 2 Not only did I end up with a great trainer, but I also gained a friend. Yet, none of my excuses ever worked on her. However hard I tried to skip a class, she never let me off the hook. Before long, I was seeing changes in my body, emotions, and attitude. I began to look forward to the gym. One day, Adria mentioned she was just tired and needed a day off. Being the sole owner and employee of her gym, her only option was to close the studio. What came next shocked me: “I wish you would get certified (认证的) because you’re the only one I’d trust with the keys when worn out.” 3 But the idea stuck with me. I researched what it would take to become a Group Fitness Instructor: months of studying texts, videos, and podcasts, plus getting CPR-and AED-certified. After weeks of consideration, I signed up for the ACE course. There were many times I wanted to give up. 4 Test day was also no joke, with an examiner scanning my room via web camera to ensure no cheating. I finished in under three hours, exhausted, and turned in without reviewing. Suddenly, a large “YOU PASSED” popped up on the screen. What began as a way to help a friend proved I wasn’t too old to learn. 5 A. I laughed it off—Me? A Trainer? B. Clearly, my self-discipline was lacking. C. Why go to such great lengths for Adria? D. Why memorize resting heart rate for the fitness coach exam? E. An accountability partner was an understatement when it came to her. F. Nothing beats walking into the gym and seeing my certification on the wall. G. An accountability partner is someone who has my back and keeps me on track. 【答案】1. B 2. E 3. A 4. D 5.

Instead, science supports a “go small” approach. 1 To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed microhabits that can transform your physical, emotional and mental health. Get a daily dose of nature. Spending time outside — whether in a park, your backyard or near some potted plants that feel wild — has powerful benefits. Studies show that being in nature lowers stress, quiets overthinking and lifts your mood. One 2019 study called it a nature pill and found that even 20 to 30 minutes a day worked wonders. 2 Eat with chopsticks on small plates. 3 Two research-proven ways to do this: Grab some chopsticks and downsize your dishes. Chopsticks naturally slow your eating pace, allowing you to tell when you’re full. Shrinking your plate helps you serve (and eat) less without noticing. Both tricks help you slow down, eat more mindfully and cut calories without feeling as if you’re trying. Give someone a big hug. We’re wired for connection, and nothing says “I’ve got you” like a good, long hug. Holding someone close for 20 seconds boosts oxytocin (the love hormone) and drops cortisol (the stress one). 4 Bonus benefits like deeper connection, lower blood pressure, and warm-and-fuzzy feelings last longer than your group chat high-five emoji. 5 Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. A 2020 meta-analysis links this habit to more happiness, less stress, and milder depression (seek other help if needed). It helps your brain shift from focusing on the negative to recognizing all the good things happening in your world. Start now by choosing one or two of these microhabits that resonate with you. A. Keep a gratitude journal. B. Prepare yourself for good things. C. It’s basically a natural mood balancer. D. Little actions, done regularly, are what create lasting change. E. Changing your dining setup can make eating less second nature. F. They include increased joy, accidental mindfulness and smiling at squirrels. G. Making small changes to environment leads to significant health improvements. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. E 4. F 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章提出无需大幅改变生活，“从小处着手” 的微习惯可改善身心健康，推荐了每日接触自然、用筷小盘进食、拥抱他人、坚持感恩日记等简单且有科学依据的做法。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“You don’t have to quit sugar, go vegan or run a marathon to see real change in your health and well-being. Instead, science supports a “go small” approach.(你无需完全戒掉糖分、成为纯素食者或者参加马拉松比赛，就能在健康和身心状况方面看到显著的改善。相反，科学研究表明，采取“从小处着手”的方法会更有效)”以及后文“To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed microhabits that can transform your physical, emotional and mental health(为了帮助您实现这一转变，我们精心挑选了最简单且基于科学原理的微习惯，这些微习惯能够改善您的身体、情绪和心理健康状况)”可知，前文提出“无需彻底改变（戒糖、素食等），科学支持‘从小处着手’的方法”，空格后引出“最简单、有科学依据的微习惯”。D项“小行动，常坚持，才能带来持久改变”承接前文“go small”的核心观点，同时引出下文“微习惯”的具体内容，起到承上启下的作用。故选D。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Spending time outside — whether in a park, your backyard or near some potted plants that feel wild — has powerful benefits. Studies show that being in nature lowers stress, quiets overthinking and lifts your mood. One 2019 study called it a nature pill and found that even 20 to 30 minutes a day worked wonders.(在户外度过时光——无论是身处公园、自家后院，还是靠近那些看起来充满野趣的盆栽植物——都有诸多益处。研究表明，身处大自然中能够减轻压力、减少过度思考并提升情绪。2019年的一项研究将其称为“自然药丸”，并发现每天只需20到30分钟就能产生显著效果)”可知，本段主题是 “每日接触自然”，前文提到 “接触自然能减压、平复过度思考、改善情绪”，且2019年研究称其为“自然药丸”。C项“它本质上是天然的情绪平衡剂”是对前文自然益处的总结，“mood balancer”与前文“lowers stress... lifts your mood”形成呼应，逻辑连贯。故选C。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“Two research-proven ways to do this: Grab some chopsticks and downsize your dishes. Chopsticks naturally slow your eating pace, allowing you to tell when you’re full. Shrinking your plate helps you serve (and eat) less without noticing. Both tricks help you slow down, eat more mindfully and cut calories without feeling as if you’re trying.(有两种经过科学研究证实的方法可以实现这一目标：拿起筷子，缩小你的餐盘尺寸。筷子能自然地减缓你的进食速度，让你能够察觉自己是否已经吃饱。缩小餐盘的大小能帮助你不知不觉地减少食物的摄入量。这两种方法都能让你放慢进食速度，更用心地用餐，并且在不觉得是在刻意控制的情况下减少热量摄入)”可知，本段主题是“用筷子、小盘子吃饭”，空格后具体解释这两种用餐方式如何帮助控制饮食。E项“改变餐具能让少吃成为本能”总领全段，“dining setup”对应后文“chopsticks and downsize your dishes”，准确概括本段核心方法（通过调整用餐工具/容器改变饮食行为）。故选E。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“We’re wired for connection, and nothing says “I’ve got you” like a good, long hug. Holding someone close for 20 seconds boosts oxytocin (the love hormone) and drops cortisol (the stress one).(我们天生就渴望与他人建立联系，而没有什么比一个深情而长久的拥抱更能表达“我在你身边”了。将某人紧紧拥入怀中20秒，会促进体内产生更多的催产素（这种“爱的荷尔蒙”）并降低皮质醇（这种“压力荷尔蒙”的水平）)”以及后文“Bonus benefits like deeper connection, lower blood pressure, and warm-and-fuzzy feelings last longer than your group chat high-five emoji.(诸如更紧密的联系、更低的血压以及温馨愉悦的感觉等附加益处，其持续时间要远长于你发在群聊中用来表示庆祝的“击掌”表情符号)”可知，前文提到“拥抱20秒能提升催产素、降低皮质醇”，空格后补充“更深的联结、更低的血压等额外益处”。F项“这些益处包括更多愉悦感、不经意的专注力提升和对松鼠微笑的快乐”承接前文 “拥抱的好处”，“They”指代前文提到的拥抱带来的生理变化，且“bonus benefits”与后文形成递进，符合逻辑。故选F。 (5)题解析： 根据后文“Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. A 2020 meta-analysis links this habit to more happiness, less stress, and milder depression (seek other help if needed). It helps your brain shift from focusing on the negative to recognizing all the good things happening in your world.(每天晚上，写下你所感激的三件事情。2020年的一项与此相关的元分析表明，养成这个习惯能带来更多的幸福感、更少的压力以及更轻微的抑郁症状（如有需要，可寻求其他帮助）。这有助于你的大脑从专注于消极方面转向认识到你所生活的世界中发生的所有美好事情)”可知，本段核心内容是“每晚写下三件感恩的事”，后文解释该习惯的益处（更快乐、压力更小等）。A项“坚持感恩日记”直接点明本段主题，“gratitude journal”与“write down three things you’re thankful for”完全对应，是段落主旨的精准概括。故选A。 Passage 10 （25-26高二上·河北名校联考·期中）Studies demonstrate that nonverbal behaviors make up a high percentage of daily interpersonal communication. The following can help you improve your nonverbal communication skills. Your tone of voice can transmit a wealth of information, ranging from passion to disinterest to anger. 1 For example, if you want to show interest in something, express your passion by using an energetic tone of voice. Such signals not only display your feelings about a topic but also generate interest in the people listening to you speak. Good eye contact is another essential nonverbal communication skill. When people fail to look others in the eye, it seems as if they are trying to hide something. However, too much eye contact comes across as unsettling. 2 It’s recommended that intervals (间隔) of eye contact lasting three to four seconds make people feel natural and comfortable. 3 Some require more formal behaviors that might be interpreted differently in other settings. For example, the nonverbal signals you use at work differ greatly from those used on a Friday night out with friends. Match your nonverbal signals to the situation to express your intended message accurately. If you are confused about another person’s nonverbal signals, don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation and ask for clarification. For example, “So what you are saying is that…” “Do you mean that…” Such questions help clarify a conversation and encourage the other person to keep talking. 4 Nonverbal communication is complex and varied. 5 Being more aware of how nonverbal signals impact interpersonal relationships can help you learn to use nonverbal communication more effectively. A. It can also strengthen your message. B. How can you tell how much is appropriate? C. Always consider the context of communication. D. There’s no one-size-fits-all way to use these signals. E. It’s better to pay close attention to a variety of signals. F. Misreading them can easily lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. G. This simple step helps prevent misunderstandings and keep the conversation smooth. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. G 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明非语言行为在日常人际交流中占比高，文章给出了通过合理运用语气、保持恰当眼神接触、就疑惑的非语言信号提问以及考虑交流情境等技巧来提升非语言交流能力，以更有效地使用非语言交流的建议。 (1)题解析： 根据空前“Your tone of voice can transmit a wealth of information, ranging from passion to disinterest to anger.( 你的语调可以传递大量的信息，从激情到不感兴趣再到愤怒。)”强调“语调能传递丰富信息（如热情、冷淡、愤怒）”，空后“For example, if you want to show interest in something, express your passion by using an energetic tone of voice. Such signals not only display your feelings about a topic but also generate interest in the people listening to you speak.( 例如，如果你想表现出对某事的兴趣，用一种充满活力的语气来表达你的热情。这样的信号不仅能表达你对一个话题的感受，还能引起听你说话的人的兴趣。)”通过举例说明“用充满活力的语调表达热情，既能传递自身感受，也能引发听众兴趣”，核心是“语调对信息传递的强化作用”。选项A“It can also strengthen your message.（它还能强化你所传达的信息。）”符合语境，“also”与前文的“not only”相呼应，进一步说明了tone of voice的积极作用。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 根据空前“However, too much eye contact comes across as unsettling.( 然而，过多的目光接触会让人感到不安。)”指出“缺乏眼神交流像在隐瞒事情，过多眼神交流又会让人不安”，提出“眼神交流“量”的矛盾问题”；空后“It’s recommended that intervals（间隔）of eye contact lasting three to four seconds make people feel natural and comfortable.( 建议眼神交流的时间间隔为3到4秒，这样会让人感到自然和舒适。)”给出解决方案“3-4秒的眼神交流间隔让人自然舒适”，核心是“需明确合适的眼神交流量”。选项B“How can you tell how much is appropriate?（如何判断多少才合适？）”符合语境。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 根据空后“Some require more formal behaviors that might be interpreted differently in other settings. ( 有些要求更正式的行为，在其他场合可能会有不同的解释。)”强调有些场景需要更正式的行为（在其他场景中解读不同），并举例“工作中的非语言信号与周五和朋友外出时差异大”，核心是“非语言行为需适配场景”。选项C“Always consider the context of communication.( 始终考虑沟通情境。)”中，“context”直接对应后文“some situations”、“settings”、“at work”、“Friday night out”，是对后文“场景适配”观点的总起，起到“总领段落”的作用。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 根据空前“For example, “So what you are saying is that…” “Do you mean that…” Such questions help clarify a conversation and encourage the other person to keep talking.( 例如，“所以你的意思是……”“你的意思是……”这样的问题有助于澄清对话，鼓励对方继续说下去。)”讲若对他人非语言行为困惑，可通过重复解读、提问澄清（如“你是说……吗”）。选项G“This simple step helps prevent misunderstandings and keep the conversation smooth. (这个简单的步骤有助于防止误解，并使对话顺利进行。)”中，“this simple step”指代前文提到的重复理解并请求澄清的提问方式，“prevent misunderstandings”和“keep the conversation smooth”进一步说明了这种提问方式的好处，与前文衔接紧密。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据空前“Nonverbal communication is complex and varied. (非语言交流是复杂而多样的。)”讲“非语言沟通复杂多样”，空格后“Being more aware of how nonverbal signals impact interpersonal relationships can help you learn to use nonverbal communication more effectively.( 更多地了解非语言信号对人际关系的影响可以帮助你更有效地学习使用非语言沟通。)”强调“关注非语言信号对人际关系的影响，能帮助你更有效地使用非语言沟通”，核心是“非语言沟通无统一模式，需灵活运用”。选项D“There’s no one-size-fits-all way to use these signals. (使用这些非语言信号没有一种通用的方法。)”承接前文“complex and varied”，同时为后文“关注影响、灵活运用”提供前提，逻辑衔接自然。故选D项。 Passage 11 （25-26高二上·浙江环大罗山·期中）Why we enjoy fear: the science of a good scare The thrill of a frightening film can feel incredibly delightful — and mild horror, say researchers, can also help develop lasting psychological toughness. Palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, muscles tense. 1 Is this just the relief of having survived — or is it something more? Fear is an ancient emotion and scary stories are rooted in human history. In early societies, scary tales were used to teach children about dangers they might encounter. 2 A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. 3 To investigate the relationship between enjoyment and fear, Malmdorf-Andersen studied a group of people who went to a haunted house (鬼屋). The findings indicated that humans don’t like being too far from their normal physiological state. 4 “There might be a sweet spot between fear and enjoyment.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. “At that spot, a flood of fear quickly followed by relief results in the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain rewarding you with a sudden rush of intense delight.” 5 We all have a unique sense of what we find scary — what can be a thrill for one person can be truly terrifying for another. So dare to be scared — but just the right amount. A. However, keep in mind that everyone is different. B. Instead, they do enjoy being just a little bit out of their comfort zone. C. Today, what draws people to watch a good scare? D. When fear dies down, we can be left with feelings of pleasure. E. This indicates that enjoyment of fear makes sense if you look at it as a “form of play”. F. As a matter of fact, they prefer to stay in their comfort zones. G. They are the signs to fight the dangers. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. E 4. B 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，解释了人们为何享受恐惧。文章先以恐怖电影带来的刺激感引出问题，接着从人类历史中恐怖故事的作用、恐怖爱好者心理韧性更强的研究发现，再到鬼屋实验揭示的“恐惧与愉悦的平衡点”，层层递进阐述恐惧带来愉悦的原因，最后提醒每个人对恐惧的耐受度不同，需把握合适程度。 (1)题解析： 上文“The thrill of a frightening film can feel incredibly delightful — and mild horror, say researchers, can also help develop lasting psychological toughness. Palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, muscles tense. (恐怖电影带来的刺激感令人无比愉悦——研究人员表示，轻度恐怖还能帮助培养持久的心理韧性。手心出汗、心跳加速、肌肉紧绷。)”描述了观看恐怖内容时的生理反应；下文“Is this just the relief of having survived — or is it something more? (这仅仅是劫后余生的释然，还是另有原因？)”提出对这种反应后续感受的疑问。需要一句衔接“生理反应”与“后续感受”，且体现“恐惧消退后产生愉悦”的句子。选项D“当恐惧消退后，我们会留下愉悦的感觉。”既承接上文的恐惧时生理反应，又引出下文对“愉悦感来源”的疑问，逻辑衔接自然。故选D。 (2)题解析： 上文“Fear is an ancient emotion and scary stories are rooted in human history. In early societies, scary tales were used to teach children about dangers they might encounter. (恐惧是一种古老的情绪，恐怖故事根植于人类历史。在早期社会，恐怖故事被用来教导孩子们可能遇到的危险。)”介绍了恐怖故事的历史作用；下文“A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” (一项研究发现，恐怖爱好者的心理韧性更强。“在某种程度上，他们接触过类似场景，能够利用这些经验面对新的、不确定的现实。”)”引出当代研究结论。需要一句衔接“历史作用”与“当代研究”，且引发对“当代人喜欢恐惧”原因探讨的句子。选项C“如今，是什么吸引人们观看恐怖内容呢？”以“如今”衔接上文的历史背景，自然过渡到对当代人喜好原因的探究，契合文章从历史到当代的论述脉络。故选C。 (3)题解析： 上文“A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. (一项研究发现，恐怖爱好者的心理韧性更强。马尔姆多夫-安德森说：“在某种程度上，他们接触过类似场景，能够利用这些经验面对新的、不确定的现实。”)”呈现了研究结果及学者观点；此处需要一句承接该观点，解释“享受恐惧”合理性的句子。选项E“这表明，如果你将对恐惧的享受视为一种‘游戏形式’，它就合情合理了。”中的“这”指代上文研究发现，既解释了恐惧享受的内在逻辑，又为下文的实验研究做了铺垫，让论述更连贯。故选E。 (4)题解析： 上文“To investigate the relationship between enjoyment and fear, Malmdorf-Andersen studied a group of people who went to a haunted house (鬼屋). The findings indicated that humans don’t like being too far from their normal physiological state. (为了研究愉悦感与恐惧之间的关系，马尔姆多夫-安德森对一组去鬼屋的人进行了研究。研究结果表明，人类不喜欢偏离正常生理状态太远。)”介绍了鬼屋实验及初步发现；下文““There might be a sweet spot between fear and enjoyment.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. (马尔姆多夫-安德森说：“恐惧和愉悦之间可能存在一个平衡点。”)”提出“平衡点”的核心观点。需要一句衔接“不喜欢偏离太远”与“平衡点”，且说明“适度偏离”的句子。选项B“相反，他们确实喜欢稍微走出自己的舒适区。”以“相反”承接上文“不喜欢偏离太远”，“稍微走出舒适区”恰好对应下文的“恐惧与愉悦的平衡点”，解释了实验发现与核心观点的关联，逻辑清晰。故选B。 (5)题解析： 下文“We all have a unique sense of what we find scary — what can be a thrill for one person can be truly terrifying for another. So dare to be scared — but just the right amount. (我们每个人对恐惧的感受都不同——对一个人来说是刺激的事情，对另一个人来说可能真的很可怕。所以，敢于体验恐惧，但要适度。)”强调每个人对恐惧的耐受度不同，需把握程度。需要一句点明“个体差异”的总起句。选项A“然而，请记住，每个人都是不同的。”直接点明段落核心“个体差异”，下文的“感受不同”“适度体验”都是对该句的具体阐述，逻辑连贯。故选A。 Passage 12 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）Without enough time to go to gyms and sports centers, non-stop snacking and increasing stress.

If your friend makes big “screw-ups (搞砸，犯错)” like badmouthing you behind your back, will you give him/ her a second chance? 1 After all, small acts of betrayal can become something larger. If many “I forgot we had plans” and “Sorry, I’ve already made plans with someone, maybe next time” pile up, perhaps you will feel unbearable. 2 Maybe we face them directly, or maybe we pull away. As for me, when I pull back from an argument, I try to understand what happened from both sides. I might get coffee with them, watching how they act and interact with their surroundings and the people around us. 3 Finally, I try to piece together the reasons, try to empathize (共情), and figure out why it happened the way it did. Understanding the reasons behind the actions of the other side is an important part of any relationship, even if in your view they’re totally wrong. Empathizing gives you a look into someone’s character, their values, and what makes them who they are. And sometimes, screw-ups are caused by sound reasons. 4 Empathy is something our society generally lacks, and second chances give us rare opportunities to practice it. I might forgive, but I don’t forget. 5 And every time they screw up, one of their layers is peeled away (剥去) until you finally see who they truly are. A. How can we respond to such betrayals? B. Why should we give them a second chance? C. I can still empathize and believe that people have layers. D. Or I might find a mutual friend and confirm our interactions. E. So it’s worthwhile to give second chances to the right people. F. We must attach great importance to friendships and relationships. G. Maybe you’ll hesitate, wondering if forgiveness is the right choice. 【答案】1. G 2. A 3. D 4. E 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了面对朋友背叛时是否应给予第二次机会，强调了理解原因、共情的重要性，并认为第二次机会是实践共情的难得机会。 (1)题解析： 由上文“If your friend makes big “screw-ups” like badmouthing you behind your back, will you give him/ her a second chance?(如果你的朋友犯了像在背后说坏话这样的“大错”，你会给他/她第二次机会吗？)”可知，此处提出是否原谅朋友的问题，下文“After all, small acts of betrayal can become something larger.(毕竟，小的背叛行为可能会演变成更大的背叛。)”说明小的背叛行为也可能带来严重后果，因此本空应强调在面对朋友背叛时，人们可能会犹豫是否原谅。G选项“Maybe you’ll hesitate, wondering if forgiveness is the right choice.(也许你会犹豫，想知道原谅是否是正确的选择。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 (2)题解析： 由下文“Maybe we face them directly, or maybe we pull away.(也许我们直接面对它们，或者我们选择疏远。)”可知，此处提出了面对背叛的两种可能反应，因此本空应是一个引导性的问题，引出下文对如何应对背叛的讨论。A选项“How can we respond to such betrayals?(我们该如何应对这样的背叛？)”能引出下文，符合题意。故选A。 (3)题解析： 由上文“I might get coffee with them, watching how they act and interact with their surroundings and the people around us.(我可能会和他们一起喝咖啡，观察他们的行为以及他们如何与周围环境和我们周围的人互动。)”可知，此处描述了作者试图通过观察朋友的行为来理解发生了什么，下文“Finally, I try to piece together the reasons, try to empathize, and figure out why it happened the way it did.(最后，我试着拼凑原因，试着共情，弄清楚为什么会这样发生。)”说明作者试图通过多种方式理解朋友的行为，因此本空应描述作者采取的另一种行动。D选项“Or I might find a mutual friend and confirm our interactions.(或者我可能会找一个共同的朋友来确认我们的互动。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 (4)题解析： 由上文“Understanding the reasons behind the actions of the other side is an important part of any relationship, even if in your view they’re totally wrong. Empathizing gives you a look into someone’s character, their values, and what makes them who they are. And sometimes, screw-ups are caused by sound reasons.(理解对方行为背后的原因在任何关系中都是重要的一部分，即使在你看来他们完全错了。共情让你看到一个人的性格、价值观以及是什么造就了他们。有时候，犯错是有合理原因的。)”可知，此处强调了理解原因和共情的重要性，因此本空应是对这一观点的进一步总结，强调可以给朋友机会。E选项“So it’s worthwhile to give second chances to the right people.(所以给合适的人第二次机会是值得的。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选E。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Empathy is something our society generally lacks, and second chances give us rare opportunities to practice it. I might forgive, but I don’t forget.(共情是我们社会普遍缺乏的东西，而第二次机会给了我们难得的实践机会。我可能会原谅，但我不会忘记。)”可知，此处强调了共情的重要性以及第二次机会的难得，下文“And every time they screw up, one of their layers is peeled away until you finally see who they truly are.(每次他们搞砸，他们的一层就会被剥去，直到你最终看到他们真正的样子。)”说明通过多次观察和共情，可以逐渐了解一个人的真实面貌，因此本空应描述作者对人的多面性的看法。C选项“I can still empathize and believe that people have layers.(我仍然可以共情并相信人们有多面性。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 Passage 14 （25-26高二上·浙江浙南名校联盟-11月·期中）Offering advice isn’t easy. You may feel pressured, especially if you’ve accidentally given unhelpful advice before. But these tips will help you become skilled at it soon! Take time to think about the issue if you can. Spend a day or a few hours exploring its possible solutions. You may even ask someone more knowledgeable for advice. However, most people need immediate help when they ask for advice. 1 Talk them through the difficulties. Talk about the hard parts of their situation and why they’re problematic. 2 Something they see as an impassable barrier might be easy to overcome with an outside perspective. For example: “You want to join the school play but worry it’s too hard. What’s stopping you? Memorizing lines? Fear of performing in front of others?” Help them evaluate the problem from an outside angle. People often miss the whole situation or solutions because they focus on small problems. 3 From your perspective, point out details they’ve missed. If a friend worries a handmade party gift isn’t “fancy enough,” note unique items get more compliments than expensive ones. 4 Guide them through their options, then suggest new ones. Don’t let them reject options quickly—weigh all fairly. If they dismiss an option, find the real reason; they may object based on wrong ideas. For example: “You want better grades but worry about time. Try a study schedule, ask teachers for help, or join a study group?” Share any information you have. After discussing options, share your experience or what to expect. This helps them clarify feelings about options. 5 Remember to avoid bias and judgment in your words. Also, know when to be firm or kind—most need encouragement, but sometimes honesty is key. Finally, stress you can’t control the future: you can’t guarantee results, but you’ll support them. A. Open them up to all their options. B. Help them step back by looking at the big picture. C. List each option and then compare its good and bad points. D. This helps them break down big problems into small steps. E. It will also help them feel more confident about their final choice. F. So you must ask other experts for more detailed suggestions right away. G. So you might have to respond to the best of your ability and follow up later. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. B 4. A 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何更有效地给别人提供建议。 (1)题解析： 前文“Take time to think about the issue if you can. Spend a day or a few hours exploring its possible solutions.(如果可以的话，花点时间想想这个问题。花一天或几个小时探索可能的解决方案。)”和“However, most people need immediate help when they ask for advice.(然而，大多数人在寻求建议时需要立即得到帮助。)”提到如果可能可以花时间思考问题，但大多数人需要立即帮助，这就形成了一种对比和转折。说明在不能立即给予详细思考后的建议时，要尽力在当下给出最好的回应，之后再跟进，G选项“So you might have to respond to the best of your ability and follow up later.(所以你可能要尽你最大的能力做出回应，然后再跟进。)”说明先给出回应，后面再跟进，承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 (2)题解析： 空前“Talk them through the difficulties. Talk about the hard parts of their situation and why they’re problematic.(和他们一起梳理困难。谈谈他们处境中困难的部分以及为什么这些部分有问题。)”说明要梳理困难，谈谈他们处境中困难的部分以及为什么这些部分有问题，空格处应该说这么做的好处，D选项“This helps them break down big problems into small steps.(这有助于他们把大问题分解成小步骤。)”说明了空前所说的方法能带来什么好处，承接上文，符合语境。故选D。 (3)题解析： 空前“Help them evaluate the problem from an outside angle. People often miss the whole situation or solutions because they focus on small problems.(帮助他们从外部角度评估问题。人们常常因为关注小问题而忽略了整个情况或解决方案。)”说明要帮助他们去看整个情况而不是小问题，B选项“Help them step back by looking at the big picture.(引导他们从宏观视角看待问题，以退一步思考。)”说明了要关注大的情况，而不是一些小问题，承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 (4)题解析： 空格处是本段主旨句，由空后“Guide them through their options, then suggest new ones. Don’t let them reject options quickly—weigh all fairly. If they dismiss an option, find the real reason; they may object based on wrong ideas. For example: “You want better grades but worry about time. Try a study schedule, ask teachers for help, or join a study group?”(引导他们分析各种选择，然后提出新的选择。不要让他们迅速否定任何选项——要公平地权衡所有选项。如果他们否决了一个选项，找出真正的原因；他们可能是基于错误的观念而反对。例如：“你想取得更好的成绩，但又担心时间不够。试试制定一个学习计划、向老师寻求帮助，或者加入一个学习小组，怎么样？”)”可知，本段主要讲的是要公平地权衡所有选项，A选项“Open them up to all their options.(让他们有各种选择。)”说明了要让他们有各种选择，概括了本段内容，可作为主旨句。故选A。 (5)题解析： 空前“Share any information you have.

To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Read aloud for rhythm and sound 1 Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood. 2 Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning. Accept confusion Poems don’t always have one right explanation. 3 Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity. Connect the poem to your life Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. 4 Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination. Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. 5 A. Poems are meant to be heard. B. Learn the background of the poem. C. Compare poems by different authors. D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you. E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines. F. If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses. G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. F 4. D 5.

For example, a smile shows happiness, while crossed arms might mean someone feels defensive. Why Is It Important? Studies show over 50% of our message comes from body language. In job interviews, good posture and eye contact can help you impress others. 2 Cultural Differences Not all body language means the same thing worldwide. 3 In some countries, nodding means “no,” not “yes.” Learning these differences avoids misunderstandings. 4 To show confidence, stand straight and keep your head up. If you listen carefully, lean forward slightly to show interest. Practice Makes Perfect Try observing others’ body language in daily life. You’ll soon notice how often people use gestures. 5 A. Body language is a form of communication without using words. B. Animals also use body language to communicate. C. For instance, a thumbs-up is positive in the US but rude in Iran. D.

Passage 3 （25-26高二上·安徽·鼎尖名校期中）How to Write a Technology Blog Writing a technology blog can be an interesting hobby and a way to build your reputation. To attract readers, you need to focus on key aspects like audience, formatting (排版), and expert knowledge. Here’s how to get started: 1 First, know who you’re writing for. If you don’t have a specific group in mind, aim for someone with basic tech knowledge but no love for complex terms. Next, use an informal style. 2 Unlike school essays, you can use sentence fragments (碎片) and adopt the first-person perspective, using words such as “I” and “me”. This helps readers establish a personal connection with your writing. Format posts for easy reading. Start with clear titles, headings and subheadings. Titles and headings need to be descriptive but short. A title like “Finding Problems with the New U-Phone 7” is better than “Testing the Product.” Use numbered lists to show key information. 3 If your post is over 2,000 words, consider dividing it into a series of interesting parts, each capable of standing on its own to maintain readers’ interest and encourage them to return for the following parts. Display your expert knowledge. Focus your posts on areas where you can write with authority. Research through well-regarded technology journals, websites and blogs before writing. 4 The technology world develops rapidly, so sources become outdated quite fast. Include links to high-quality content from other technology bloggers, which makes your article more trust-worthy. However, don’t just repeat others’ ideas. 5 A. Focus on basic knowledge. B. Avoid old technology sources. C. Tailor your style to your audience. D. Blogs aren’t the same as formal academic writing. E. Instead, ensure that you provide your own original thoughts. F. Even with your knowledge, solid research boosts a post’s appeal. G. This breaks up long paragraphs and makes content easier to follow. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中·期中）In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1 Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming. 3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry. The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field. Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices. A. Vertical farming has a rich history. B. One solution is indoor vertical farming. C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds. D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round. E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon. F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides. G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江西部分学校·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.

Specifically, overtraining is a set of signs that occur when your body is not able to recover sufficiently before going into your next workout. 2 People tend to ignore them. Over time, the cycle of starting the next training session before allowing recovery causes breakdown of the very parts of the body that you work so hard to build up. The structures and systems of your body adapt to the demands you have placed on them before the rest time. If your workout slightly goes beyond your current ability, it will adapt toward what you did in a positive way. 3 Two main factors are necessary in recovery: nutrition. and rest.

From there, factoring in how much money and time you have will further help you choose between destinations. Consider your interests. Write a list of activities that you enjoy. 2 Ask yourself what you would want most out of a trip if you were to go on one this minute. Then go back through your list and cross out those activities that don’t suit your needs at the moment. Take fellow travellers into account. If anyone will be travelling with you, have them write their own lists of preferred pastimes. Discover which activities everyone hopes to experience so you focus on destinations that will make everybody happy. 3 Consult online and print publications, use tourism websites, travel blogs, and travel guides to gain an idea of what is out there. Ask friends, family, or other associates for recommendations and warnings based on their own travels. Determine your budget. Figure out exactly how much you can afford to spend on travel, so that you aren’t breaking the bank for this trip. 4 Decide how much time you have to travel. 5 Use this number to better decide which activities you want to focus on and how much money you are willing to spend on them.

In order to accept your body, it’s important to get in touch with hath of these aspects of your body on their own terms. Accept your body as it is.

Give yourself time to get into the habit of thinking positively. Try starting each day by thinking a few positive thoughts. Remind yourself of these thoughts throughout the day when you start feeling critical of yourself. Compare yourself only to yourself. 4 There’s no point in comparing yourself to others, regardless of whether the person is a celebrity or a classmate sitting next to you. Instead, compare yourself in terms of how you’ve progressed over time, now that you’ve created your own realistic goals. For example, you might think to yourself that you’ve improved your appearance compared to a few years ago. Know when to seek help. Understand that nearly everyone struggles to maintain positive body image all the time and it’s normal to have ups and downs. 5 There-are various signs that your body issues are severe and require professional help.

Many people feel panicked before speaking in public, sharing their ideas in meetings, or even walking into a room full of strangers. 1 The good news is that you don’t have to be controlled by it. There are practical steps to weaken its influence. The first step is to replace negative thoughts with positive self-talk. Guide yourself toward confidence-building statements such as “I’ve prepared well” or “I have valuable ideas to share.” 2 Taking a few deep breaths also helps to calm your body and send a signal of safety to your brain. Another strategy lies in cultivating greater self-awareness. Most of us merely have a vague idea of who we are. 3 By identifying your values and shaping a personal philosophy, you’ll feel less pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations. 4 Begin with small steps that feel authentic yet slightly bold. This could be sharing an unpopular idea in a meeting, dancing freely at a party, or simply saying “no” to a request that upsets you. The goal is to prove to yourself that expressing your true self is not only safe but empowering. Each time you do this, you strengthen a self-image rooted in courage rather than fear, making you less likely to be influenced by external judgments. Finally, not every voice deserves your attention. Create a short list of trusted individuals whose opinions are consistent with your values and who understand the person you want to become. 5 A. But that is often not enough. B. Another vital method is to face social discomfort. C. These statements shift your focus to your own strengths. D. This fear of social disapproval may considerably harm your potential. E.

Passage 2 （25-26高二·山东·联考）Research has shown that nonverbal behaviors make up a large percentage of our daily interpersonal communication. If you want to develop more confident body language or improve your ability to read other people’s nonverbal communication behaviors, these tips can help: Pay attention to nonverbal signals. People can communicate information in numerous ways, so pay attention to a variety of signals including: body movements, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice. 1 By paying closer attention to other people’s unspoken behaviors, you will improve your own ability to communicate nonverbally. Become a student of others. 2 What do their facial expressions say? What type of gestures do they use? Becoming familiar with their nonverbal communication patterns helps you recognize when they might be feeling a certain way more quickly because you’re actively watching for these cues (暗示). It can also help you recognize nonverbal behaviors you may want to adopt yourself. Think before you act. When a car cuts you off, especially when your young child is in the back seat, your fist (拳头) seems to automatically fly up. 3 Train yourself to stop and think before you act. This can help you replace nonverbal behaviors that you’ve been wanting to change. 4 Certain types of nonverbal communication can mean different things in different cultures.

Unlike friendships, the concept of dazi is centered on short-term, almost superficial, companionship. The idea is simple — random individuals come together to take part in an activity they all enjoy. Social media platforms have featured a wave of searches for travel dazi. 2 There is a great deal of luck involved in the journey. City Walk. In recent years, City Walk has become increasingly popular among Chinese people. City Walk, a form of slow-paced exploration of a city on foot, allows people to discover the hidden charms and unique aspects of their hometowns or the cities they visit. 3 Another factor is the appeal of uncovering the rich cultural and historical heritage within cities. 4 It has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China. Going against the tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holiday experiences.

Passage 4 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中·期中）4 Ways to Make Small Talk with Social Anxiety Social anxiety can make small talk feel daunting. 1 But these strategies from a licensed clinical professional counselor Hall-Baldwin can help ease the pressure. 2 Before attending networking events or reunions, practice conversations with baristas (咖啡师), waiters, neighbors or co-workers. These low-pressure interactions help build self-esteem without aiming for profound talks, gradually boosting confidence for larger social settings. Use the echo technique 3 If someone mentions work struggles, respond with “Struggling?” to encourage them to elaborate. This simple act not only shows you’re listening but also shifts the focus off yourself. “This takes pressure off you to generate responses.” Hall-Baldwin notes. Find a physical anchor When anxious, simple actions like holding a cold drink, fidgeting with a toy, or pressing feet to the floor can anchor your nervous system. “It tells your brain you’re safe.” says Hall-Baldwin. 4 “I touch it when nervous.” she says.

Passage 5 （25-26高二上·浙江强基联盟A卷-11月·期中）After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. 1 Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. 2 The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. 3 They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. 4 Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. 5 matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·山东名校考试联盟·期中）The Comfort Zone describes the psychological conflict between the desperate desire for growth and the fundamental need for safety and predictability. Psychologists describe it as a mental state in which people stick to well-practiced routines to achieve a steady, though not remarkable performance without feeling stressed or anxious. 1 So how does this conflicting behavior show up in real life? 2 We may avoid applying for a promotion, or hesitate to learn a new language. Traditional wisdom often encourages us to “play it safe” and not rock the boat when facing a tough nut. 3 For instance, a study from Harvard University found that individuals who regularly embraced new challenges showed a 35% increase in creative problem-solving abilities as well as enhanced cognitive flexibility over time. 4 Behavioral scientist Dr. Lena notes that many people develop avoidance patterns during adolescence, which may solidify (固化) into fixed routines in adulthood. Although these patterns may reduce temporary stress and anxiety, they often come at the cost of limiting exposure to valuable, growing experiences essential for personal advancement. In summary, the human drive for growth pulls us toward new experiences, even when uncertainty causes discomfort. Unlike animals that rely purely on instinct (本能), humans possess the ability to reflect and choose. 5 Therefore, by mindfully and courageously expanding our boundaries in a structured and intentional manner, we can go all out to achieve a delicate yet rewarding balance — enjoying the security of a foundation while reaching for the growth that lies just beyond. A. Whether should we stay in comfort zone or not? B. Such tendencies are often rooted in the early years. C. However, recent relevant studies challenge this view. D. This concept highlights the dilemma between safety and progress. E. Many individuals recall moments of unease when facing challenges. F. These experiences lead to a lasting unwillingness to take risks later in life. G. We have the power to assess situations and decide when to stretch our limits. Passage 7 （25-26高二上·湖北圆创联盟-11月阶段练习（·期中）If you had asked me a few years ago how I felt about exercise, I would have told you that while I had a gym membership, working out basically consisted of walking on the treadmill (跑步机) for fifteen minutes, pretending to use a few machines, and then making my escape. 1 I definitely needed an accountability partner (责任伙伴). I called local training studios, and one owner, Adria, stood out as approachable and motivating. 2 Not only did I end up with a great trainer, but I also gained a friend. Yet, none of my excuses ever worked on her. However hard I tried to skip a class, she never let me off the hook. Before long, I was seeing changes in my body, emotions, and attitude. I began to look forward to the gym. One day, Adria mentioned she was just tired and needed a day off. Being the sole owner and employee of her gym, her only option was to close the studio. What came next shocked me: “I wish you would get certified (认证的) because you’re the only one I’d trust with the keys when worn out.” 3 But the idea stuck with me. I researched what it would take to become a Group Fitness Instructor: months of studying texts, videos, and podcasts, plus getting CPR-and AED-certified. After weeks of consideration, I signed up for the ACE course. There were many times I wanted to give up. 4 Test day was also no joke, with an examiner scanning my room via web camera to ensure no cheating. I finished in under three hours, exhausted, and turned in without reviewing. Suddenly, a large “YOU PASSED” popped up on the screen. What began as a way to help a friend proved I wasn’t too old to learn. 5 A. I laughed it off—Me? A Trainer? B. Clearly, my self-discipline was lacking. C. Why go to such great lengths for Adria? D. Why memorize resting heart rate for the fitness coach exam? E. An accountability partner was an understatement when it came to her. F. Nothing beats walking into the gym and seeing my certification on the wall. G. An accountability partner is someone who has my back and keeps me on track. Passage 8 （25-26高二上·湖北省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟·期中）Can siblings (兄弟姐妹) learn to get along? The answer to this question is, yes! Maintaining healthy relationships is challenging. 1 They discover that when siblings lovingly invest in their relationships, the resulting friendships are an incredible blessing. Apply the following recommendations to strengthen your relationships with your siblings. Recognize the significance of your role. The role you have in your siblings’ lives is one that no one else can play. You can be a source of great good in your siblings’ lives by investing encouragement, praise and love in your relationship. Or, you can be a source of hardship by acting selfishly. 2 Appreciate your differences. You and your siblings will have many differences, even when you grow up in the same household. Sometimes differences drive people apart, but those differences can often help you grow. Don’t be afraid of differences. 3 you are preparing for other relationships in the future. Settle conflicts instantly. 4 . When you find it is your fault, ask for forgiveness for your hurtful attitudes, words, and actions. If a sibling has offended (冒犯) you, you are supposed to forgive immediately when he/ she comes to ask for your forgiveness. Invest in your “enemies”. When you give something away, you usually gain deeper appreciation from those who receive your gift. At times when you are struggling to get along with a particular brother or sister, it is wise for you to consider giving. 5 You could also offer to help him or her with a project or a household chore (家务). A. If the differences disturb you, B. As you learn to get along with your siblings, C. Discuss what you are learning in school and life. D. But many families are finding that sibling harmony is possible. E. Do all you can to restore your relationship when faced with conflicts. F. Either way, your influence makes a permanent impression on your siblings. G. Think about what you can give: time, words of praise, or gifts—things your sibling will enjoy. Passage 9 （25-26高二上·湖北八校联考·期中）You don’t have to quit sugar, go vegan or run a marathon to see real change in your health and well-being. Instead, science supports a “go small” approach. 1 To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed microhabits that can transform your physical, emotional and mental health. Get a daily dose of nature. Spending time outside — whether in a park, your backyard or near some potted plants that feel wild — has powerful benefits. Studies show that being in nature lowers stress, quiets overthinking and lifts your mood. One 2019 study called it a nature pill and found that even 20 to 30 minutes a day worked wonders. 2 Eat with chopsticks on small plates. 3 Two research-proven ways to do this: Grab some chopsticks and downsize your dishes. Chopsticks naturally slow your eating pace, allowing you to tell when you’re full. Shrinking your plate helps you serve (and eat) less without noticing. Both tricks help you slow down, eat more mindfully and cut calories without feeling as if you’re trying. Give someone a big hug. We’re wired for connection, and nothing says “I’ve got you” like a good, long hug. Holding someone close for 20 seconds boosts oxytocin (the love hormone) and drops cortisol (the stress one). 4 Bonus benefits like deeper connection, lower blood pressure, and warm-and-fuzzy feelings last longer than your group chat high-five emoji. 5 Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. A 2020 meta-analysis links this habit to more happiness, less stress, and milder depression (seek other help if needed). It helps your brain shift from focusing on the negative to recognizing all the good things happening in your world. Start now by choosing one or two of these microhabits that resonate with you. A. Keep a gratitude journal. B. Prepare yourself for good things. C. It’s basically a natural mood balancer. D. Little actions, done regularly, are what create lasting change. E. Changing your dining setup can make eating less second nature. F. They include increased joy, accidental mindfulness and smiling at squirrels. G. Making small changes to environment leads to significant health improvements. Passage 10 （25-26高二上·河北名校联考·期中）Studies demonstrate that nonverbal behaviors make up a high percentage of daily interpersonal communication. The following can help you improve your nonverbal communication skills. Your tone of voice can transmit a wealth of information, ranging from passion to disinterest to anger. 1 For example, if you want to show interest in something, express your passion by using an energetic tone of voice. Such signals not only display your feelings about a topic but also generate interest in the people listening to you speak. Good eye contact is another essential nonverbal communication skill. When people fail to look others in the eye, it seems as if they are trying to hide something. However, too much eye contact comes across as unsettling. 2 It’s recommended that intervals (间隔) of eye contact lasting three to four seconds make people feel natural and comfortable. 3 Some require more formal behaviors that might be interpreted differently in other settings. For example, the nonverbal signals you use at work differ greatly from those used on a Friday night out with friends. Match your nonverbal signals to the situation to express your intended message accurately. If you are confused about another person’s nonverbal signals, don’t be afraid to ask questions. A good idea is to repeat back your interpretation and ask for clarification. For example, “So what you are saying is that…” “Do you mean that…” Such questions help clarify a conversation and encourage the other person to keep talking. 4 Nonverbal communication is complex and varied. 5 Being more aware of how nonverbal signals impact interpersonal relationships can help you learn to use nonverbal communication more effectively. A. It can also strengthen your message. B. How can you tell how much is appropriate? C. Always consider the context of communication. D. There’s no one-size-fits-all way to use these signals. E. It’s better to pay close attention to a variety of signals. F. Misreading them can easily lead to misunderstandings or conflicts. G. This simple step helps prevent misunderstandings and keep the conversation smooth. Passage 11 （25-26高二上·浙江环大罗山·期中）Why we enjoy fear: the science of a good scare The thrill of a frightening film can feel incredibly delightful — and mild horror, say researchers, can also help develop lasting psychological toughness. Palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, muscles tense. 1 Is this just the relief of having survived — or is it something more? Fear is an ancient emotion and scary stories are rooted in human history. In early societies, scary tales were used to teach children about dangers they might encounter. 2 A study found that horror fans were mentally tougher. “They have, to some extent, been exposed to similar scenes and can draw on that experience to face new, uncertain realities.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. 3 To investigate the relationship between enjoyment and fear, Malmdorf-Andersen studied a group of people who went to a haunted house (鬼屋). The findings indicated that humans don’t like being too far from their normal physiological state. 4 “There might be a sweet spot between fear and enjoyment.” says Malmdorf-Andersen. “At that spot, a flood of fear quickly followed by relief results in the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain rewarding you with a sudden rush of intense delight.” 5 We all have a unique sense of what we find scary — what can be a thrill for one person can be truly terrifying for another. So dare to be scared — but just the right amount. A. However, keep in mind that everyone is different. B. Instead, they do enjoy being just a little bit out of their comfort zone. C. Today, what draws people to watch a good scare? D. When fear dies down, we can be left with feelings of pleasure. E. This indicates that enjoyment of fear makes sense if you look at it as a “form of play”. F. As a matter of fact, they prefer to stay in their comfort zones. G. They are the signs to fight the dangers. Passage 12 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）Without enough time to go to gyms and sports centers, non-stop snacking and increasing stress. Sounds familiar? 1 But there are a few things we can do to make it a little easier, such as home workouts, for which there are thousands of variations online for all levels, interest, pace, and length of free time. There are numerous options ranging from 10 minutes to one and a half hours of training. 2 If you’re a beginner, it’s worthwhile joining a one-month challenge and starting at the base level. Day-by-day workouts are getting a bit longer and harder. Doing an exercise challenge will raise your heart rate, get your body used to being fast and build the foundation for further future gains. Resistance bands are probably the best inexpensive training tool you can get. Whether you are a beginner or at an advanced fitness level, resistance band exercises will give your muscles a good challenge. One of the advantages of the bands is that you can make a massive muscle workout without putting pressure on the joints. You can find many resistance band kits (成套设备) with suggested exercises for every major muscle group in your body. 3 If you have kids, it is very important that they also do exercise every day. 4 Exercise for kids should be taken easily of course. Instead of working out, call it an exercise play. 5 Cardio (有氧的) workout was a popular workout at that time. It is known for its numerous advantages just like weight regulation, mood-boosting, fat-burning, reducing chronic pain, being affordable and accessible. It’s simple exercise that can be done with smaller children or with older family members who are not restricted in their mobility. A. Well, this is a challenging time for all of us. B. Which workouts are the most popular ones? C. Why not make the daily workout a fun family activity? D. And you can also find a lot of workout suggestions online. E. Who wouldn’t remember the most popular workout of the 1990s? F. You can also buy gym equipment for home use if you have the budget. G. Choose the most suitable one according to your fitness level and schedule. Passage 13 （25-26高二上·浙江七彩阳光·期中）Friendships are built on trust, but even the closest relationships can face betrayals (背叛) — big or small. If your friend makes big “screw-ups (搞砸，犯错)” like badmouthing you behind your back, will you give him/ her a second chance? 1 After all, small acts of betrayal can become something larger. If many “I forgot we had plans” and “Sorry, I’ve already made plans with someone, maybe next time” pile up, perhaps you will feel unbearable. 2 Maybe we face them directly, or maybe we pull away. As for me, when I pull back from an argument, I try to understand what happened from both sides. I might get coffee with them, watching how they act and interact with their surroundings and the people around us. 3 Finally, I try to piece together the reasons, try to empathize (共情), and figure out why it happened the way it did. Understanding the reasons behind the actions of the other side is an important part of any relationship, even if in your view they’re totally wrong. Empathizing gives you a look into someone’s character, their values, and what makes them who they are. And sometimes, screw-ups are caused by sound reasons. 4 Empathy is something our society generally lacks, and second chances give us rare opportunities to practice it. I might forgive, but I don’t forget. 5 And every time they screw up, one of their layers is peeled away (剥去) until you finally see who they truly are. A. How can we respond to such betrayals? B. Why should we give them a second chance? C. I can still empathize and believe that people have layers. D. Or I might find a mutual friend and confirm our interactions. E. So it’s worthwhile to give second chances to the right people. F. We must attach great importance to friendships and relationships. G. Maybe you’ll hesitate, wondering if forgiveness is the right choice. Passage 14 （25-26高二上·浙江浙南名校联盟-11月·期中）Offering advice isn’t easy. You may feel pressured, especially if you’ve accidentally given unhelpful advice before. But these tips will help you become skilled at it soon! Take time to think about the issue if you can. Spend a day or a few hours exploring its possible solutions. You may even ask someone more knowledgeable for advice. However, most people need immediate help when they ask for advice. 1 Talk them through the difficulties. Talk about the hard parts of their situation and why they’re problematic. 2 Something they see as an impassable barrier might be easy to overcome with an outside perspective. For example: “You want to join the school play but worry it’s too hard. What’s stopping you? Memorizing lines? Fear of performing in front of others?” Help them evaluate the problem from an outside angle. People often miss the whole situation or solutions because they focus on small problems. 3 From your perspective, point out details they’ve missed. If a friend worries a handmade party gift isn’t “fancy enough,” note unique items get more compliments than expensive ones. 4 Guide them through their options, then suggest new ones. Don’t let them reject options quickly—weigh all fairly. If they dismiss an option, find the real reason; they may object based on wrong ideas. For example: “You want better grades but worry about time. Try a study schedule, ask teachers for help, or join a study group?” Share any information you have. After discussing options, share your experience or what to expect. This helps them clarify feelings about options. 5 Remember to avoid bias and judgment in your words. Also, know when to be firm or kind—most need encouragement, but sometimes honesty is key. Finally, stress you can’t control the future: you can’t guarantee results, but you’ll support them. A. Open them up to all their options. B. Help them step back by looking at the big picture. C. List each option and then compare its good and bad points. D. This helps them break down big problems into small steps. E. It will also help them feel more confident about their final choice. F. So you must ask other experts for more detailed suggestions right away. G. So you might have to respond to the best of your ability and follow up later. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）Poetry, with its rhythmic language and layered meanings, invites readers to explore emotions, ideas, and beauty beyond the literal. To fully engage with a poem, consider these methods to deepen your appreciation and understanding. Read aloud for rhythm and sound 1 Read the poem aloud slowly. Notice the rhythm, rhymes, or repeating sounds. For example, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven uses a tense beat, while Langston Hughes’ Dreams has a gentle flow. Do they sound cheerful, sad, or urgent? The “music” of a poem often mirrors its mood. 2 Understanding a poem’s historical, cultural, or biographical context enriches interpretation. It will help you a lot to find out when the poem was written or what the poet’s life was like. But don’t stress — even a quick Google search can add meaning. Accept confusion Poems don’t always have one right explanation. 3 Maybe Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 is both a love poem and a joke about clichés (陈词滥调). Discuss with classmates — different views make poems more interesting! Let uncertainty spark curiosity. Connect the poem to your life Let your emotions guide your understanding. If a line reminds you of a personal experience, write down your thoughts or share them with a friend. 4 Poetry isn’t just about analysis — it’s about feeling and imagination. Appreciating poetry is both an art and a practice — requiring attention to form, context, and personal reflection. As Eliot wrote, poetry “communicates before it is understood”, inviting us to return, rethink, and rediscover its magic endlessly. 5 A. Poems are meant to be heard. B. Learn the background of the poem. C. Compare poems by different authors. D. Poetry is alive when it speaks to you. E. Practice memorizing your favorite lines. F. If a line feels puzzling, write down your guesses. G. Grab a poem, read it aloud, and let yourself enjoy the magic of it. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·浙江浙江省金砖高中联盟-11月·期中）When you’re exhausted, the thought of putting on gym clothes and pushing yourself to work out can feel impossible. 1 . A new fitness trend has given a fresh name to these super low-intensity (低强度) activities: “zone zero” exercise. 2 . It generally refers to any activity in which your heart rate stays below half of its maximum capacity, such as taking an slow walk after dinner, going for an easy bike ride, playing with your kids or doing light housework. 3 . If you spend most of your time sitting, even adding a modest amount of movement to your day can help to improve your health. Over time, moving more step by step and at gradually higher intensities can improve your balance, muscle strength and endurance, too. Some studies suggest that people who are completely inactive face a significantly higher death rate compared with those who move slightly more. If zone zero activity is the only movement in your routine, the experts recommended incorporating (融入) it as often as possible throughout your day. 4 . Zone zero shouldn’t replace more intense exercise. However, if you regularly exercise at moderate or high intensities, zone zero training can be a useful complement but not a substitute (替代). 5 . But on rest days, it can be a worthwhile form of active rest or recovery. Don’t overcomplicate it. Giving the activities of everyday life a seemingly formal name may motivate some people, especially those who have felt excluded from more intense fitness spaces. But the key point is to increase your daily movement in whatever way feels manageable and sustainable. A. Less active people may benefit more from zone zero B. It can also be a helpful start to more intense exercise C. But a casual walk or a good stretch might not seem out of reach D. Exercise such as running with a group helps you to be more social E. Exercise requiring more effort will lead to greater fitness benefits F. Zone zero training is meant to be so easy that it feels almost effortless G. The benefits of physical activity go far beyond just physical fitness Passage 3 （25-26高二上·安徽·期中）Travelling with friends can be an amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could ruin your friendship. 1 Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible. 2 Sure, you and your friends probably have some similar interests, but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy, go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must-see”, “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions. Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling — from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. 3 At the same time, listen to their concerns and be respectful of them. Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group — or even just one other person — you may want some alone time. 4 It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places. Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member, or in the event of a work emergency. 5 Don’t respond to less important work contact or send messages frequently. After all, the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it! A. Give each other some space. B. Include at least one activity for everyone. C. But other than that, try to stay off your phone. D. And remember that consideration and respect go a long way. E. That’s completely fine, but make sure your friends know where you are. F. Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key. G. So it’s important to make sure you and your friend(s) are on the same page. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·浙江9+1联盟-11月·期中）How to Do Shadow Work Do you ever ask yourself, “Why did I do that?” or “Why did I say that?” Chances are, if you’ve done something out of character, it’s because of your Shadow — the personality traits and thoughts you wish you didn’t have, namely, your “darker” side. So, is there anything we can do to help? Absolutely! That’s where Shadow work comes in. 1 . Here are some tips on how to practice it. Take a step back and look at your life objectively. 2 . Then ask yourself, “Why did that get to me? Why did I feel that way? What triggered that behavior or emotion?” Answering these questions will help you recognize behavioral patterns and feelings. 3 . Healing takes time, but progress won’t be made unless you’re completely honest with yourself. We know pulling back the curtain on your most undesirable traits is more than difficult, but you can do it. Know that even if the truth is hard to swallow, you’re learning from it, and it’s leading you to become the best version of yourself. Question your reactions. Pause, reflect, and understand why you feel a certain way before you instinctively react. If you feel like you’re about to judge someone or make a rude comment, stop and question, “What triggered me to think this?” 4 . Acknowledge, understand, and forgive your insecurities. Since you are aware of the impacts of your “darker” side, it’s time to give yourself space to move on. Life is all about change; you’re expected to change with it, but don’t be afraid to question those changes. As you evolve (逐步发展), acknowledge the lesser parts of yourself you want to change, learn to understand why your thinking may have changed, and 5 . A. Be honest with yourself B. Write your shadow a letter C. then make peace with yourself D. integrate them into your whole self E. Imagine you’ re a bystander in your own life F. This encourages positive thoughts and actions G. It’s the act of facing and handling your darker parts Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江西稳派智慧上进·期中）Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy—not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. 1 That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. 2 Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water. 3 If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. 4 Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. 5 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·湖北部分省级示范高中·期中）Cleaning your room can feel like a challenging task, but it’s likely a quicker and easier process than you imagine! Sometimes all it takes is a simple plan and a little motivation. 1 Read on to learn how to stay motivated to clean your room. Play music to get in the right mindset. Before you start, put on a playlist that makes you feel energetic. 2 Music with a faster beat will help motivate you. Stay away from slower music, as this can make you feel tired and bored. If you need a timer, create a playlist that is a certain amount of time and try to finish before the playlist ends. Create a reward for yourself to get the job done. 3 Decide how to treat yourself once you’ve finished cleaning. A few ways to treat yourself are hanging out with your friends, eating a big bowl of ice cream, or reading your favorite book. Make sure not to rush your cleaning in order to get your reward. 4 When you’re having trouble motivating yourself to clean your room, make the process interesting by playing a game. See how many things you can put away for 10 minutes and then try to beat your high score. Alternatively, pretend you’re a robot while cleaning and only make robot movements and noises. Another option is to set a timer and see how fast you can clean your room. Create a checklist to stay on track. Checklists are a great way to give yourself a sense of achievement and progress when cleaning up a big mess. Decide what you want to organize and clean, and then make a list to prioritize them from the most urgent to the least. 5 Tick off each task once you’ve done it to easily keep track of what you still need to do. A. Make cleaning into a game. B. Schedule the tasks throughout the week. C. You’d better try to finish before the playlist ends. D. It can set the tone for a more organized and peaceful life. E. This extra motivation can help you get the job done faster. F. Try to be as detailed as possible so you don’t forget anything. G. Really activating all the senses is a great way to make it engaging. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
