But many people ignore these activities after working out. 1 Whether you’re a professional athlete or new to fitness, here are four activities to do after working out. Cool down for 10-15 minutes. When you exercise, your heart shifts blood flow away from organs that aren’t being used, and sends it to your muscles to help them contract. After your main workout, spend 10-15 minutes doing low-intensity activities like slow jogging or walking. 2 When people skip this step, they might experience a big drop in blood pressure and feel dizzy. Try rolling out your muscles. You can buy a foam roller, though gyms usually provide some for members. Place your foam roller on the ground and lie down on top of it, making sure the muscle you want to hit is positioned above. Then slowly roll your body back and forth for about a minute before hitting the next muscle. 3 4 According to guidance from the Mayo Clinic, while it’s easy to skip this step, stretching is the key to preventing injury. Doing it regularly helps improve flexibility and range of movement. Remember to hold each stretch for about 30 seconds without pushing to the point of pain. Simple stretches like the quad stretch or knee-to-chest stretch are great starters. Eat protein to help build up muscles. 5 How you fuel yourself after a workout can actually make a difference, and the secret is protein. You can get protein from a variety of sources. If you’re rushing to get home after hitting the gym, try chocolate milk, protein shake or protein bar. A. Stretch your muscles regularly. B. Choose simple stretches to start. C. Your muscles need fuel to repair and grow stronger. D. Concentrate on the muscle groups you used during your workout. E. If you are a professional athlete, you may need more recovery time. F. This step helps to redirect blood flow back to your organs gradually. G. People usually only schedule time for physical stress but none for self-care. 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. D 4. A 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何减轻锻炼后的肌肉酸痛的方法。 (1)题解析： 前文“Exercise recovery can reduce your risk of injury and soreness, helping improve athletic performance. But many people ignore these activities after working out.(运动后的恢复训练能够降低受伤和肌肉酸痛的风险，有助于提升运动表现。然而，许多人在锻炼结束后往往会忽略这些恢复活动)”讲述很多人不注意运动恢复，后文“Whether you’re a professional athlete or new to fitness, here are four activities to do after working out.(无论你是职业运动员，还是健身新手，以下这四项活动都是你在锻炼之后可以进行的)”引出下文进行锻炼后恢复的方法，G选项“人们通常只会为身体上的压力预留时间，却从不为自我护理留出时间”同样说明前文出现的现象，从而引出“自我护理”的方法，承上启下。故选G。 (2)题解析： 前文“After your main workout, spend 10-15 minutes doing low-intensity activities like slow jogging or walking.(在完成主要锻炼之后，再花10到15分钟进行低强度的活动，比如慢跑或散步)”表示在高强度锻炼后需要进行低强度运动的过渡，F选项“这一步骤有助于让血液逐渐回流至你的各个器官”表明这样做的好处，符合语境和逻辑。故选F。 (3)题解析： 前文“Place your foam roller on the ground and lie down on top of it, making sure the muscle you want to hit is positioned above. Then slowly roll your body back and forth for about a minute before hitting the next muscle.(将泡沫滚轴放在地面上，然后躺在上面，确保要锻炼的肌肉部位位于滚轴上方。接着缓慢地前后滚动身体约一分钟，然后再移动到下一个肌肉群进行锻炼)”表示应该在锻炼后用泡沫滚轴放松肌肉，D选项“专注于你在锻炼过程中所使用的肌肉群”补充说明重点关注哪部分肌肉。故选D。 (4)题解析： 空处为本段小标题，根据后文“According to guidance from the Mayo Clinic, while it’s easy to skip this step, stretching is the key to preventing injury.(根据梅奥诊所的建议，虽然很多人会忽略这一环节，但进行伸展运动是预防受伤的关键)”可知，本段说明拉伸的重要性，A选项“规律拉伸你的肌肉”符合本段主旨。故选A。 (5)题解析： 小标题“Eat protein to help build up muscles.(摄入蛋白质有助于增强肌肉)”表示应在锻炼后补充蛋白质修复肌肉，C选项“你的肌肉需要营养物质来进行修复并变得更强壮”说明肌肉需要修复，与下文“How you fuel yourself after a workout can actually make a difference, and the secret is protein.(在锻炼结束后如何为身体补充能量，实际上会对效果产生影响，而其中的关键在于蛋白质)”语境和逻辑一致。故选C。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·浙江A9协作体-11月·期中）How many of you feel a connection to this idea? When we set out to reach a destination, we often go through a lot of planning and preparation. 1 In the process, the expectation and effort put into the journey are the most exciting parts. 2 I would be anxious for the big days until I arrived at my chosen spot, thinking that reaching it was the main goal. But as I traveled more, my view began to change. I started to dive deeper into what each place had to offer. I learned to appreciate the local culture, meet the people, and engage in unique experiences. I remember one night when we decided to take a trip that involved a four-hour drive. After two hours of driving, I was feeling tired. We decided to stop for tea to take a break. As the sun began to set, I looked around and was struck by the golden light shining on the mountains. 3 So I took my time enjoying my tea and the view. Suddenly, someone urged us to hurry up. One fellow traveler quickly jumped back into the car without taking a moment to appreciate the scenery. 4 While I was enjoying the journey and the beauty around us, he was focused solely on reaching our endpoint. This experience taught me that travel and life are not just about getting to a destination. 5 Each experience enriches our lives. When we allow ourselves to embrace the journey, we open the door to new opportunities and unforgettable memories. A. We continued our drive. B. It was simply amazing. C. Traveling is about more than the destination. D. It’s about the moments we collect along the way. E. There’s usually quite a bit of travel time involved too. F.

Alice Johnston has lived for a long time in Notting Hill, the London neighborhood famous for the beautifully-painted row houses and for being the setting of the movie of the same name. As a writer, Johnston has mixed feelings about her Instagram-beloved neighborhood. She lives on Portobello Road, one of the capital’s most famous streets. 2 Once, she and a friend were walking his bulldog when a tourist asked if she could “borrow” the dog for a quick photo. The friend and the dog agreed, so the person posed with the dog in front of a bright blue door and then handed over five pounds as a thank-you. In that story, everybody had a good time. 3 “I was once woken up at 6 a.m. on Easter Sunday by a French teenager taking pictures outside,” Johnston says. 4 Johnston, for example, tries to understand travelers coming to her hometown. She remembers how she loved taking pictures of historic neighborhoods in Paris, Rome and the like. In fact, she recently found photos of herself as a teenager hanging out at the Notting Hill Carnival years before she moved to London herself. 5 “I feel lucky that it’s cool enough that people want to come where I live.” A. If so, you’re not alone. B. But there can be a darker side. C. And she has seen all kinds of actions people take to get a perfect picture. D. For her, nothing beats the pleasure to see so many people excited about it. E. However, when private homes become tourist attractions, quarrels can happen. F. As a travel lover, she has become pretty understanding when seeing the crowds again. G. Living in a much-photographed place, some people learn to take the good with the bad. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. F 5. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述伦敦诺丁山因美景和电影成为网红打卡地，居民约翰斯顿见证游客拍照的好坏经历，作为旅行者她表示理解且感幸运。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Have you ever looked at a beautiful little new house in London and thought “It must be so amazing to live there?”?(你是否曾看到过伦敦一座漂亮的新住宅，然后心里想着：“住在那里一定非常棒吧？”)”可知，前文提出“是否曾羡慕伦敦美景住宅”的疑问，A项“If so, you’re not alone(如果是这样，你并不孤单)”承接疑问，引出“很多人有同感”，自然过渡到下文居民的实际生活状况。故选A。 (2)题解析： 根据后文“Once, she and a friend were walking his bulldog when a tourist asked if she could “borrow” the dog for a quick photo. The friend and the dog agreed, so the person posed with the dog in front of a bright blue door and then handed over five pounds as a thank-you. In that story, everybody had a good time.(有一次，她和一位朋友正带着他们的斗牛犬散步，这时一位游客问她能否“借用”这只狗来拍一张快照。朋友和狗都同意了，于是那人与这只狗一起站在一扇亮蓝色的门前摆好姿势，然后给了五英镑作为感谢。在这件事中，每个人都玩得很开心)”可知，后文通过“游客借狗拍照”的具体例子，说明游客为拍照的各种行为，C项“And she has seen all kinds of actions people take to get a perfect picture(她见过人们为拍完美照片所做的各种举动)”总领下文，衔接自然。故选C。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Once, she and a friend were walking his bulldog when a tourist asked if she could “borrow” the dog for a quick photo.

She remembers how she loved taking pictures of historic neighborhoods in Paris, Rome and the like. In fact, she recently found photos of herself as a teenager hanging out at the Notting Hill Carnival years before she moved to London herself.(例如，约翰斯顿试图去了解来到她家乡的游客们。她还记得自己曾多么喜欢拍摄巴黎、罗马等地的历史街区的照片。事实上，她最近发现了一些自己十几岁时在诺丁山狂欢节上闲逛的照片，而那时她自己还未搬到伦敦)”可知，后文提到Johnston“理解前来家乡的游客”，并回忆自己年轻时在各地拍照的经历，F项“As a travel lover, she has become pretty understanding when seeing the crowds again(作为旅行爱好者，再次看到人群时她变得相当理解)”点明她的身份和态度，为下文的理解提供依据。故选F。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Johnston, for example, tries to understand travelers coming to her hometown.

Jamie Carragher and Declan Rice are two English footballers who have said their sport is “all about winning”. 1 . Sports can reveal deep beauty and life lessons. Watching a man hanging in a Maltese position or a woman on the balance beam (平衡木), we’ll feel their unique strength. They take delight in the beauty of their bodies, and share that with us. 2 . They do it with extra care and delight that invite us into what they are doing. In a game, there is nothing wrong with an eagerness to do things well, but that’s different from demanding that it must happen. Former England football manager Roy Hodgson disliked the phrase — “a must-win game”. He believed much psychological suffering is created by believing “musts”. 3 . Phrases like “I must” and “I should” only increase pressure. Stick with “I want” or “I would like”. Then we can drop back into that calm, peaceful self. 4 . The problem is that it doesn’t tend to work that way. Caitlyn Jenner, an American track and field athlete, once talked about how she still felt troubled, even after winning Olympic Gold. Remember, we can only treasure this very moment that truly exists. Winning is frequently unimpressive, but the experience itself is enjoyable. The day after Jonny Wilkinson kicked the winning goal, he felt empty. However, he experienced a transcendence (超越) on the field. We are happiest when we lose ourselves in the experience. 5 . A. They don’t just do the sport B. However, that’s not the case C. A way to avoid this is to watch your language D. Seldom do we think how upset we’ll be if we lose the game. E. Doing sports can help us strengthen our body and mind F. We tend to think we’ll not feel satisfied until we achieve what we have expected G. Seeking to strengthen our sense of self through “winning” will not bring us happiness, but the experience itself will. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. F 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们对体育的热爱，认为体育不仅关乎胜利，更能展现身体美和传递生活哲理。文章指出，过度追求胜利会带来心理压力，建议用“想要”代替“必须”，珍惜当下体验，认为沉浸其中的过程比胜利更快乐。 (1)题解析： 上文“Jamie Carragher and Declan Rice are two English footballers who have said their sport is “all about winning”(Jamie Carragher和Declan Rice是两位英国足球运动员，他们说他们的运动“一切都为了胜利”。)”提到Jamie Carragher和Declan Rice认为运动“全是为了赢”，而下文“Sports can reveal deep beauty and life lessons.(运动能揭示深刻的美丽和人生教训。)”则指出运动能揭示深刻的美丽和人生教训，说明运动不仅仅是为了获胜，前后存在转折关系。B选项“However, that’s not the case(然而，事实并非如此)”起到了承上启下的作用，引出了下文对运动其他意义的阐述，符合题意。故选B。 (2)题解析： 上文“Watching a man hanging in a Maltese position or a woman on the balance beam (平衡木), we’ll feel their unique strength. They take delight in the beauty of their bodies, and share that with us.(看着一位男士以马耳他式姿势悬空，或是一位女士在平衡木上表演，我们会感受到他们独特的力量。他们为自己身体的美而感到欣喜，并与我们一同分享这份美好。)”描述了运动员在运动中展现出的独特力量以及他们对自己身体之美的享受，并与观众分享这种美。下文提到“They do it with extra care and delight that invite us into what they are doing.(他们以额外的细心和喜悦去做这件事，邀请我们参与他们正在做的事情)”，说明运动员不仅仅是做运动，还在以一种特别的方式与观众互动。A选项“They don’t just do the sport(他们不仅仅是在做运动)”与上下文相呼应，强调了运动员在运动中的表现不仅仅局限于运动本身，符合题意。故选A。 (3)题解析： 上文“Former England football manager Roy Hodgson disliked the phrase — “a must-win game”. He believed much psychological suffering is created by believing “musts”.( 前英格兰足球经理Roy Hodgson不喜欢“必须赢的比赛”这个说法。他认为，许多心理痛苦是由相信“必须”而产生的。)”提到Roy Hodgson不喜欢“必胜的比赛”这个短语，他认为相信“必须”会带来很多心理上的痛苦。下文则提到“Phrases like ‘I must’ and ‘I should’ only increase pressure.(像‘我必须’和‘我应该’这样的短语只会增加压力)”，进一步强调了语言对心理的影响。C选项“A way to avoid this is to watch your language(避免这种情况的一个方法是注意你的语言)”与上下文相呼应，提出了避免心理压力的一种方法，即注意自己的语言，符合题意。故选C。 (4)题解析： 下文提到“The problem is that it doesn’t tend to work that way. Caitlyn Jenner, an American track and field athlete, once talked about how she still felt troubled, even after winning Olympic Gold.(问题是，事实往往并非如此。美国田径运动员Caitlyn Jenner曾经谈到，即使赢得了奥运金牌，她仍然感到困扰。)”，说明人们往往认为只有达到预期的目标才会感到满足，但事实并非如此。F选项“We tend to think we’ll not feel satisfied until we achieve what we have expected(我们往往认为，只有达到预期的目标，我们才会感到满足)”与下文相呼应，提出了人们的一种普遍心理，符合题意。故选F。 (5)题解析： 上文“Winning is frequently unimpressive, but the experience itself is enjoyable.(获胜往往并不令人印象深刻，但体验本身是令人愉快的。)”以及“We are happiest when we lose ourselves in the experience.(当我们沉浸在体验中时，我们是最快乐的。)”强调了体验的重要性。G选项“Seeking to strengthen our sense of self through ‘winning’ will not bring us happiness, but the experience itself will.(试图通过‘获胜’来增强我们的自我意识不会给我们带来幸福，但体验本身会。)”与上文相呼应，总结了全文的主旨，即幸福来源于体验本身而非获胜，符合题意。故选G。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）As the most popular sport in America, football is loved by people of all ages. But how much do you know about its history and development? Let’s explore some interesting facts you may not know. The first recorded football game took place in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. However, it looked very different from the modern sport. Teams had 25 players each, used a round ball, and players couldn’t carry it. 1 . 2 . Before WWII, one team played both offense and defense with no substitutions (替补). During the war, many potential football players were called up, leading to frequent team changes. 3 . This allowed substitutions, which proved popular and stayed common even after the war. The position of the goal post (球门柱) used to be different. At first, it was on the goal line, making field goals easier but causing safety problems — players sometimes ran into posts while catching touchdowns. 4 . As a result, it was eventually moved to the back of the end zone where it still stands today. Another fun fact is why the “quarterback” (四分卫) got its name. While many positions in football are named for obvious reasons, that is not the case for this one. 5 . The fullback stands farthest behind the offensive line (“fully back”), halfbacks stand halfway back. Finally, the quarterback stands between the halfbacks and the offensive line, therefore “a quarter of the way back” or “quarterback.” Now you know some fun facts about football’s history. Maybe this knowledge will make watching the next game even more enjoyable! A. As a result, the rules were adapted. B. It comes from where the player stands in a basic team formation. C. World War II slowed down the development of football rules. D. World War II brought important changes to football positions. E. It refers to the player’s role in leading four offensive plays. F. And, apart from the safety concerns, the goal post often got in the way of the game. G. Instead, they had to use various body parts to bat it towards the opponent’s goal. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. A 4. F 5. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美式橄榄球的历史和发展过程中的一些有趣事实。 (1)题解析： 上文“However, it looked very different from the modern sport. Teams had 25 players each, used a round ball, and players couldn’t carry it.(然而，它看起来与现代运动大不相同。每队有25名球员，使用一个圆球，球员不能携带它。)”描述了早期的橄榄球与现代橄榄球的不同之处，空处应该继续描述早期橄榄球的规则。选项G“相反，他们必须使用各种身体部位将球击向对手的球门”符合语境，描述了早期橄榄球中球员不能携带球，而是需要用身体部位将球击向对方球门。故选G。 (2)题解析： 根据下文“Before WWII, one team played both offense and defense with no substitutions. During the war, many potential football players were called up, leading to frequent team changes.(在二战前，一个队同时进攻和防守，没有替补。战争期间，许多潜在的橄榄球运动员被征召入伍，导致球队频繁更换。)”可知，本段主要描述了二战对橄榄球位置的影响，所以空处应该是一个总起句，引出下文。选项D“第二次世界大战给橄榄球位置带来了重要变化”符合语境，能够概括本段的主要内容。故选D。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“During the war, many potential football players were called up, leading to frequent team changes.(战争期间，许多潜在的足球运动员被征召入伍，导致球队频繁更换。)”和下文“This allowed substitutions, which proved popular and stayed common even after the war.(这允许了替补，这在战后也很受欢迎并一直很普遍。)”可知，空处应该描述由于战争导致的球队频繁更换，规则因此进行了调整，允许了替补。选项A“因此，规则被修改了”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用。故选A。 (4)题解析： 上文“At first, it was on the goal line, making field goals easier but causing safety problems — players sometimes ran into posts while catching touchdowns.(起初，它位于球门线上，这使得射门更容易，但也带来了安全问题——球员在接达阵时有时会撞到球门柱。)”和下文“As a result, it was eventually moved to the back of the end zone where it still stands today.(结果，它最终被移到了端区的后面，至今仍在那里。)”可知，空处应该描述球门柱除了安全问题外，还对比赛造成了其他妨碍，因此被移动到了端区的后面。选项F“而且，除了安全问题，球门柱经常妨碍比赛”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。 (5)题解析： 上文“While many positions in football are named for obvious reasons, that is not the case for this one.(虽然橄榄球中的许多位置都有明显的命名原因，但这个位置却不是这样。)”和下文“The fullback stands farthest behind the offensive line (“fully back”), halfbacks stand halfway back. Finally, the quarterback stood between the halfbacks and the offensive line, therefore “a quarter of the way back” or “quarterback.”(全卫站在进攻线的最后面（“完全在后面”），半卫站在中间。最后，四分卫站在半卫和进攻线之间，因此是“四分之一的路程在后面”或“四分卫”。)”可知，本空应该描述了四分卫这个位置的命名原因，即来自于球员在基本队形中的位置。选项B“它来自于球员在基本队形中的位置”符合语境，能够引出下文对四分卫位置命名的解释。故选B。 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江金砖高中联盟-11月·期中）Team sports provide much more than just physical exercise for teenagers. They offer a unique environment that can shape character, teach valuable life lessons, and foster skills that are useful both on and off the field. 1 One of the most significant advantages is the development of social skills. 2 They must learn to communicate clearly, whether it's calling for a pass in soccer or discussing a strategy during a timeout. This process naturally helps shy individuals come out of their shell and teaches everyone the importance of listening and expressing themselves effectively. 3 Being part of a team means that wins and losses are shared experiences. This shared responsibility helps teenagers understand that their individual actions affect the entire group. Learning to handle defeat without blaming others and celebrating victories with humility are crucial emotional lessons. 4 It creates a powerful connection. Furthermore, team sports are a practical classroom for time management. Balancing games and schoolwork requires discipline and organization. 5 The ability to manage these competing demands is a skill that will serve them well in college and their future careers. In conclusion, the playing field is a training ground for life, helping teenagers grow into well-rounded and capable adults. A. This shared experience builds a strong sense of belonging and community. B. Teenagers are frequently communicating with coaches and teammates. C. Therefore, the devotion to a team teaches managing and planning. D. For instance, a player might have to sacrifice personal glory for the team’s benefit. E. In this setting, they learn about social skills, character forming and time management. F. Another key benefit lies in helping growth in responsibility and sportsmanship. G.

Roommate conflicts (冲突) are part of many people’s college experiences. They are common. 1 With a little communication and skills, though, it doesn’t have to be the end of the roommate-relationship. 2 Find a space, and think about what is annoying you. Is your roommate not respecting your things? Making too much noise? Instead of writing down “last week, she ate all of my food again,” try to think this way, “she doesn’t respect my stuff, although I have reminded myself” — try to find out the exact problem. Then, talk to your roommate at a time that’s good for both of you. It’s a good idea to try to set the time in advance, so you can work out what’s going on between two of you. For example, ask if you can talk when you are both done with morning classes on Wednesday, on Saturday, etc. It is very likely that your roommate knows you want to have a talk. 3 When you are talking about your anxiety, don’t verbally (语言上) attack your roommate. 4 For example, instead of saying, “I can’t believe how impolite you are when …,” try saying, “It really annoys me that you borrow my clothes without asking.” Meanwhile, try to listen to your roommate’s thoughts. He may have some reasons behind what’s going on. If things just aren’t working out after the talks, it’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean you or your roommate did anything wrong.

By adopting smart strategies, you can reduce stress and achieve more with less effort. 2 . For example, instead of thinking “I must finish all math homework tonight.”, break it into smaller tasks: “Complete five questions before dinner, and review notes after.” This approach prevents burnout and builds momentum. Creating a dedicated study space is equally vital. Choose a quiet area free from distractions like phones or TV. 3 . Research shows that consistent study locations signal your brain to focus faster. Additionally, use tools like times to practice the “Pomodoro Technique”: 25 minutes of concentrated work followed by a 5-minute break. Many teens lose sight of the power of prioritization. 4 . List all tasks, then arrange them in groups using the Eisenhower Matrix: Urgent & Important (do now) Important but Not Urgent (schedule later) Urgent but Unimportant (ask others to help if possible) Neither (skip them) This method helps you tackle high-impact tasks first. Finally, remember that rest fuels productivity. 5 . Enough sleep and extra-curricular activities recharge your mind, making study more effective. As psychologist Dr. Elena Torres notes, “Sustainable success comes from rhythm, not relentless pressure.” A. Start by setting realistic daily goals. B. Physical exercise should be included in your routine. C. Without clear priorities, you may waste hours on low-value activities. D. However, effective time management can help deal with this challenge. E. Your brain associates this environment with productivity. F. Breaking large projects into manageable steps reduces anxiety. G. Pushing yourself nonstop leads to poor outcomes. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. E 4. C 5.

Find your “Why” and “What” 2 Is it to have more energy, make new friends, or simply to feel healthier? Do you enjoy team sports like basketball or soccer, or do you prefer individual activities like swimming, running, or yoga? Trying out different clubs and activities in your new school is a great way to discover what you love. Start slow and set realistic goals It’s important not to push yourself too hard at the beginning. If you start with overly ambitious goals, you might get tired or even injured, which can make you lose motivation quickly. 3 For example, instead of aiming to run 5 kilometers in your first week, start with a 1-kilometer jog or a 20-minute walk. 4 Sticking to workouts is the key to fitness. It’s better to do a little exercise regularly than to do a lot all at once and then stop. You can schedule your workouts just like you schedule your study time. Even 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, can make a huge difference. Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent. Listen to your body This is one of the most important rules. Your body will give you signals. It is significant to tell these warning signals from normal muscle soreness. If you feel pain such as a sharp pain, joint pain, or swelling, you need to rest. 5 Proper warm-up before exercise and stretching afterwards are also crucial to prevent injuries and help your body recover. A. Make workouts a habit B. Schedule your workouts C. Instead, set small, achievable goals that you can build upon. D. Knowing your purpose can help you choose the right activity. E. Don’t ignore these signals and try to “work through” the pain. F. You might feel excited but also a little unsure about how to start. G. Therefore, listening to your body is a skill that requires practice. 【答案】1. F 2. D 3. C 4. A 5.

Accept Your Feelings The first step to any change is to accept what you feel. It is okay to feel stressed; it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. It is only a natural human response to stress, and those feelings do not define (界定) you. 2 Many of us do too, at various points in our lives. 3 If it is all too strong, just take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the breeze. Such actions will help you clear your mind and you will feel better when you return to that task. Make a List Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do. Perhaps there are too many topics to study, or you may have a long to-do list when organising a birthday event. Writing this down is a good idea as it would help you to make the different tasks. 4 This gives you some structure to work with, and you will feel calmer at the end of writing the list—you would have a better understanding of the task and yourself. Learn to Say ‘No’ Where you can help it, say ‘no’—learn to set boundaries for yourself. For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say no to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test. 5 Learning to manage intense emotions takes time and practice. Always be in touch with yourself, and learn what works best for you. You only have one YOU. A. Step away. B. Focus on yourself. C. So, put yourself first, and excuse yourself. D. There is nothing wrong with you feeling this way. E. You are bound to feel more at ease at the end of it. F. Dealing with strong feelings does not come easy for many of us. G. Then, rank the tasks in order of priority, depending on the importance or urgency. 【答案】1. F 2. D 3. A 4. G 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了五种应对强烈情绪的方法，包括接纳情绪、暂时抽身、列清单和学会说“不”，帮助人们有效管理自身情绪。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“From time to time, you may experience strong emotions, disappointment, sadness, frustration, even helplessness.(你可能会时不时地经历强烈的情绪，失望、悲伤、沮丧，甚至无助。)”和后文“Here are five ways to help you manage your strong feelings.(这里有五种方法可以帮助你管理强烈的情绪。)”可知，空格处应体现应对强烈情绪的难度，引出下文的方法，F选项“Dealing with strong feelings does not come easy for many of us.(对我们许多人来说，应对强烈的情绪并不容易。)”承接前文的情绪体验，说明需要方法辅助，符合语境。故选F项。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“It is only a natural human response to stress, and those feelings do not define (界定) you.(这只是人类面对压力的自然反应，这些感受并不能定义你。)”和后文“Many of us do too, at various points in our lives.(我们很多人在人生的不同阶段也会有这样的感受。)”可知，空格处应强调有这些情绪是正常的，D选项“There is nothing wrong with you feeling this way.(你有这样的感受并没有什么错。)”呼应前文“自然反应”的说法，进一步安抚情绪，符合语境。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“If it is all too strong, just take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the breeze.(如果情绪太过强烈，就暂时放下手头的任务。例如，如果你一直为科学考试努力学习，但突然感到心跳加速，似乎什么都记不起来了，就停下你正在做的事情。去厨房吃点零食，去外面感受一下微风。)”可知，本段核心是暂时离开引发强烈情绪的场景，A选项“Step away.(暂时抽身。)”作为本段小标题，概括了后文“停下任务、转移场景”的做法，符合语境。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 根据前文“Writing this down is a good idea as it would help you to make the different tasks.(把这些写下来是个好主意，因为它能帮助你理清不同的任务。)”和后文“This gives you some structure to work with, and you will feel calmer at the end of writing the list — you would have a better understanding of the task and yourself.(这会给你一些清晰的条理去执行，写完清单后你会感觉更平静——你会更好地理解任务和自己。)”可知，空格处应说明写下任务后的下一步动作，G选项“Then, rank the tasks in order of priority, depending on the importance or urgency.(然后，根据重要性或紧急程度，按优先级排列任务。)”中的“Then”承接前文“写下任务”，“排列优先级”与后文“清晰的条理”呼应，符合语境。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say no to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test.(例如，如果你的朋友让你陪她去给她妈妈买礼物，但你知道你必须为一场重要的考试学习，就拒绝她。你不会想因为最后没有足够的时间复习考试而让自己压力过大。)”可知，空格处应总结“学会说不”的核心是优先考虑自己，C选项“So, put yourself first, and excuse yourself.(所以，把自己放在第一位，委婉拒绝。)”中的“So”总结前文例子，“优先自己”呼应前文“不让自己压力过大”，符合语境。故选C项。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·浙江浙南名校联盟-11月·期中）The Value of Travel Travel is not only about reaching a destination but also about experiencing the world in new ways.

If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit (继承) a fortune. 1 ” For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others. Scientific research provides data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a happier and healthier life. Giving can feel great. 2 Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness. Follow these tips: Find your passion. It’s not how much you give. It’s how much love you put into giving. You might care about one cause more than others, and that’s okay. Support the cause that feels right for you. Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. 3 We can give some of this time to help others — whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year. Give to groups with clear goals. Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says that “giving to a cause that specifies what they’re going to do with your money or service leads to more happiness.” 4 “Selfless giving...easily becomes overwhelming,” psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. You matter too! Be active in activities. 5 . Think about your daily schedule — even a few hours each week can make a difference. For example, if you value a clean environment, giving a few hours each month to local clean-up efforts (like community trash-pickup events) can help a lot. A. Don’t forget about yourself. B. Love the cause you choose. C. Set aside time to serve your community. D. The key is to find the approach that works for you. E. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. F. And as we learn early, it’s better to give than to receive. G. We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. 【答案】1. E 2. F 3. G 4. A 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过引用中国谚语和科学研究，阐述了“助人为乐”是获得持久幸福的秘诀，并提供了如何通过帮助他人来获得幸福的具体建议。 (1)题解析： 由上文“If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. (如果你想快乐一小时，打个盹。如果你想快乐一天，去钓鱼。如果你想快乐一年，继承一笔财富)”可知，这是一个排比结构，按照时间维度(一小时、一天、一年)递进。本空需要延续这个结构，给出能获得“一生”快乐的方式。E选项“If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. (如果你想快乐一生，就去帮助别人)”能完美承接上文，完成从短暂快乐到终身幸福的逻辑递进，并直接点明文章“助人即幸福”的核心主旨。故选E。 (2)题解析： 由上文“Giving can feel great. (给予能让人感觉很好)”以及下文“Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness.

(正如我们很早就学到的，给予比接受更好)”能承接上文“给予能让人感觉很好”的观点，并用一句广为人知的谚语“it’s better to give than to receive”加以强化，与下文的“给予越多收获越多”紧密衔接。故选F。 (3)题解析： 由上文“The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. (对于接受者来说，时间的礼物往往比金钱的礼物更有价值，给予者也更满意)”可知，本段核心是论述“付出时间”的价值。本空需要解释为什么时间是我们可以付出的宝贵资源。G选项“We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. (我们拥有的金钱数量不尽相同，但我们所有人都拥有时间)”通过对比金钱，强调了“时间”是每个人都拥有的、可以平等付出的资源，从而为下文“We can give some of this time to help others(我们可以拿出一些时间去帮助别人)”的倡议提供了逻辑基础。故选G。 (4)题解析： 由下文“‘Selfless giving...easily becomes overwhelming,’ psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. You matter too! (‘无私的给予……很容易变得让人难以承受，’心理学家Adam Grant说。他建议给予他人，但要记住你自己的个人和情感需求。你也很重要！)”可知，本段的核心建议是：在帮助他人时，要注意平衡，不能忽略自我。A选项“Don’t forget about yourself. (不要忘记你自己)”能准确地概括本段主旨，作为段首主题句，与下文的专家引语和详细解释吻合。故选A。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Be active in activities. (积极参与活动)”以及下文“Think about your daily schedule — even a few hours each week can make a difference.

You don’t have to let such people bother you. The following are some suggestions on becoming untouchable mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. Master the Power of Not Caring The first rule of never getting angry: realize that most people aren’t worth the energy it takes to get upset. Think about it — when someone cuts you off in traffic or deliberately tries to provoke (挑衅) you, what do you gain by reacting? 2 3 Stop letting other people’s opinions occupy space in your mind. Here’s your new motto: Not everyone’s opinion matters. Say it. Believe it. Live it. Unless someone is supporting you, feeding you, or holds a legal agreement with you, their opinions hold no real power. Expect People to Be Inconsiderate Accept this difficult truth: many people simply lack basic life awareness. This isn’t about lacking intelligence, 4 . They will cut you off in traffic. They will reply with one-word texts. They will talk during movies. So change your approach: when someone says something rude, laugh. Not a forced, polite laugh — but a genuine, amused chuckle. It throws people off. After all, they expect anger, rather than amusement. Build a High-Tolerance Mindset Here’s the final step: train yourself to be unshakable. How? Practice. Stand in long lines without sighing or complaining. Scroll through social media without reacting to every annoying post. Let someone cut you off in traffic and simply nod. 5 Eventually, nothing will drive you mad. Master these strategies, and you’ll walk through life with the calm of a Zen master and the confidence of a leader. A. Find Someone Supporting You B. Choose Whose Voice You Hear C. it’s because they need opportunities to express themselves. D. Anger only exhausts you, while the other person moves on without caring.

After placing the rice paper over the frame and a candle at the base, the first Chinese lantern was lit. Zhuge Liang was also called Kongming, his traditional style name in ancient China. 2 Today, these floating lanterns are common in all Chinese festivities. Carefully made, they often feature Chinese calligraphy and traditional good-fortune symbols—dragons, flowers and the New Year’s zodiac animal. Outside of China, they have been adopted for festivals worldwide. These creative lanterns are also seen as an early form of the hot-air balloon, which was invented later in 1783. 3 Did you know? Sky lanterns can reach altitudes of up to 800 metres. Traditionally, the outside of a Chinese lantern is made of rice paper or silk. The paper covering the lantern is translucent (半透明的), meaning it lets some light through. 4 This creates a wonderful sight when many are let go into the sky at one time during Chinese celebrations. Chinese lanterns come in different colours, but most of them are red as it represents luck and joy. 5 Yet today they hold new meanings, such as bringing luck to school students. Besides, white lanterns are usually used for funerals, as they show sadness and respect for the dead in these serious ceremonies. A. He tried to ask for help from other people. B. Inside, a small candle or light glows through. C. He turned to a piece of rice paper and some bamboo. D. Green lanterns are a sign of health and success in celebrations. E.

German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. 1 So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? 2 . But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. 3 For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离)are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. 4 Psychological therapist (心理治疗师) Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. These defenses may protect us for a short time, but if they last too long, they can stop us from making real connections. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t have the quills. 5 So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all—the warmth of true relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows how important it is to fit in with nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This is similar to humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the ability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. 【答案】1. F 2. E 3. A 4. C 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍刺猬困境的概念，及其在生活中的体现和相关研究观点。 (1)题解析： 上文“German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain.(德国哲学家叔本华用刺猬在寒冷冬日取暖的比喻：它们挤在一起取暖，但很快就会感受到彼此刺的疼痛。它们分开，却又再次感到寒冷，最终找到一个合适的距离，既能取暖又不会疼痛。)”描述了刺猬困境的具体情况，F选项“This is similar to humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection.(这反映了人类在平衡亲密关系和自我保护之间的挣扎。)”中的“This”指代上文刺猬的例子，且准确地总结出该例子所反映的人类在亲密关系和自我保护间的挣扎，承接上文，符合语境。故选F项。 (2)题解析： 上文“So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? (这就是这个理论，但在我们的日常生活中这是什么样的呢?)”引出在生活中刺猬困境的体现这一话题，下文“But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. (但是我们应该让这些经历阻碍我们在未来放下戒备吗? )”中的“these experiences”提示上文应提及一些经历，E选项“Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships.(许多人都有过来自亲密关系的情感痛苦的经历。)”既回答了上文关于生活中刺猬困境的问题，又引出下文对这些经历影响的讨论，符合语境。故选E项。 (3)题解析： 上文“But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. (但我们应该让这些经历阻止我们在未来放松警惕吗? 叔本华的建议可能是“是的”)”表明叔本华的观点，下文“For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离) are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. (例如，一项分析了148项涉及308,849名参与者的研究的综述发现，拥有强大社交关系的个体生存的可能性增加了50%。此外，国家老龄化研究所报告称，长期隔离的健康风险相当于每天抽15支烟。)”通过研究表明亲密关系的好处，与叔本华的观点相反，A选项“However, modern research offers a different perspective.(然而，现代研究提供了不同的观点。)”起到转折作用，引出下文与叔本华观点不同的现代研究内容，符合语境。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 下文“Psychological therapist (心理治疗师) Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. These defenses may protect us for a short time, but if they last too long, they can stop us from making real connections. (心理治疗师希拉里·桑德斯解释说，像孤立或愤怒这样的行为在童年时期可以作为生存策略。虽然这些防御机制可能提供短期保护，但如果持续下去，它们可能会阻碍有意义的联系。)”说明一些防御行为的起源和影响，C选项“Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences.

(所以，当我们学会为可靠的人放下防备时，我们实际上有可能拥有一切——真正关系的温暖而无需害怕受伤。)”说明人类可以为可靠的人放下防备，G 选项“We have the ability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. (我们有能力选择我们信任的人，以及如何保护自己。)”承上启下，既体现了人类与刺猬的不同，即人类有选择和保护自己的能力，又引出下文为可靠的人放下防备的内容，符合语境。故选G项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题05阅读理解（七选五） 基础必练 Passage 1 【答案】1.F 2.B 3.D4.C 5.G Passage 2 【答案】1.G 2.F3.D4.A 5.c Passage 3 【答案】1.E 2.G3.B4.F 5.D Passage 4 【答案】1.A2.C3.B4.F 5.D Passage 5 【答案】1.B 2.A3.C4.F5.G Passage 6 【答案】1.G 2.D 3.A4.F 5.B 进阶提升 Passage 1 【答案】1.E 2.B3.F4.A 5.c Passage 2 【答案】1.C 2.A3.D4.G 5.E Passage 3 【答案】1.D 2.F3.E 4.C 5.G Passage 4 【答案】1.F 2.D3.C4.A 5.E Passage 5 112 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 【答案】1.F 2.D 3.A4.G 5.C Passage 6 【答案】1.D 2.E3.A4.F 5.G Passage 7 【答案】1.E 2.F3.G 4.A5.C Passage 8 【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A4.G5.F Passage 9 【答案】1.C 2.G3.F 4.A 5.D 拓展培优 Passage 1 【答案】1.D 2.G3.B 4.A 5.F Passage 2 【答案】1.F 2.D3.B4.E5.G Passage 3 【答案】1.c 2.G 3.E4.B5.F Passage 4 【答案】1.F 2.E3.A4.C5.G 212 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江强基联盟-11月·期中）Entering your first year of college can feel overwhelming, but it’s normal to be nervous. Taking steps to manage your feelings can help you have a great experience. Build a routine (常规) and get organized Creating a routine can help you feel more in control. 1 When you have a big project, break it into smaller parts so it feels less scary. Also, try to have a consistent sleep schedule and eat regular meals to stay healthy. 2 Making time to relax is key for managing stress. Try simple breathing exercises to calm yourself quickly. Regular exercise or joining a campus sports club helps reduce stress. Remember to get enough sleep each night, as feeling tired can make anxiety worse. Connect with others Building new friendships can help with feelings of loneliness. Introduce yourself to your roommates or classmates. Everyone is in the same boat, so don’t be afraid to say hello. Joining a club is also a great way to meet people who share your interests. 3 Challenge your anxious thoughts Anxiety often comes from worrying about the future. 4 Be it a heavy course load, bad social situations or a bossy classmate. Try to figure out what makes you anxious, so you can deal with the problem directly. Make use of campus resources Most colleges have free resources to help students. Visit the student center if you need to talk to someone. 5 Attending assisting events for freshmen is a good way to get to know campus and find people who can support you as well. A. Concentrate on doing exercise. B. Practice self-care and relaxation. C. So you need to know what causes your anxiety. D. Meanwhile, stay connected with family and old friends. E. Go to your parents for help to develop a practical study plan. F. Use a planner or a digital calendar to map out your daily activities. G. An academic advisor can help you with your classes and a study plan. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江浙东北ZDB联盟·期中）How to Reduce Soreness After a workout Exercise recovery can reduce your risk of injury and soreness (酸疼), helping improve athletic performance. But many people ignore these activities after working out. 1 Whether you’re a professional athlete or new to fitness, here are four activities to do after working out. Cool down for 10-15 minutes. When you exercise, your heart shifts blood flow away from organs that aren’t being used, and sends it to your muscles to help them contract. After your main workout, spend 10-15 minutes doing low-intensity activities like slow jogging or walking. 2 When people skip this step, they might experience a big drop in blood pressure and feel dizzy. Try rolling out your muscles. You can buy a foam roller, though gyms usually provide some for members. Place your foam roller on the ground and lie down on top of it, making sure the muscle you want to hit is positioned above. Then slowly roll your body back and forth for about a minute before hitting the next muscle. 3 4 According to guidance from the Mayo Clinic, while it’s easy to skip this step, stretching is the key to preventing injury. Doing it regularly helps improve flexibility and range of movement. Remember to hold each stretch for about 30 seconds without pushing to the point of pain. Simple stretches like the quad stretch or knee-to-chest stretch are great starters. Eat protein to help build up muscles. 5 How you fuel yourself after a workout can actually make a difference, and the secret is protein. You can get protein from a variety of sources. If you’re rushing to get home after hitting the gym, try chocolate milk, protein shake or protein bar. A. Stretch your muscles regularly. B. Choose simple stretches to start. C. Your muscles need fuel to repair and grow stronger. D. Concentrate on the muscle groups you used during your workout. E. If you are a professional athlete, you may need more recovery time. F. This step helps to redirect blood flow back to your organs gradually. G. People usually only schedule time for physical stress but none for self-care. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·浙江A9协作体-11月·期中）How many of you feel a connection to this idea? When we set out to reach a destination, we often go through a lot of planning and preparation. 1 In the process, the expectation and effort put into the journey are the most exciting parts. 2 I would be anxious for the big days until I arrived at my chosen spot, thinking that reaching it was the main goal. But as I traveled more, my view began to change. I started to dive deeper into what each place had to offer. I learned to appreciate the local culture, meet the people, and engage in unique experiences. I remember one night when we decided to take a trip that involved a four-hour drive. After two hours of driving, I was feeling tired. We decided to stop for tea to take a break. As the sun began to set, I looked around and was struck by the golden light shining on the mountains. 3 So I took my time enjoying my tea and the view. Suddenly, someone urged us to hurry up. One fellow traveler quickly jumped back into the car without taking a moment to appreciate the scenery. 4 While I was enjoying the journey and the beauty around us, he was focused solely on reaching our endpoint. This experience taught me that travel and life are not just about getting to a destination. 5 Each experience enriches our lives. When we allow ourselves to embrace the journey, we open the door to new opportunities and unforgettable memories. A. We continued our drive. B. It was simply amazing. C. Traveling is about more than the destination. D. It’s about the moments we collect along the way. E. There’s usually quite a bit of travel time involved too. F. This moment highlighted a big difference in our mindsets. G. In my early days as a traveler, I was all about the destination. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·浙江台金七校·期中）When your Home Becomes a Tourist Attraction Have you ever looked at a beautiful little new house in London and thought “It must be so amazing to live there”? 1 But for the people who actually do live in those homes, social media and phone cameras have changed what it means to live in a picturesque place. Alice Johnston has lived for a long time in Notting Hill, the London neighborhood famous for the beautifully-painted row houses and for being the setting of the movie of the same name. As a writer, Johnston has mixed feelings about her Instagram-beloved neighborhood. She lives on Portobello Road, one of the capital’s most famous streets. 2 Once, she and a friend were walking his bulldog when a tourist asked if she could “borrow” the dog for a quick photo. The friend and the dog agreed, so the person posed with the dog in front of a bright blue door and then handed over five pounds as a thank-you. In that story, everybody had a good time. 3 “I was once woken up at 6 a.m. on Easter Sunday by a French teenager taking pictures outside,” Johnston says. 4 Johnston, for example, tries to understand travelers coming to her hometown. She remembers how she loved taking pictures of historic neighborhoods in Paris, Rome and the like. In fact, she recently found photos of herself as a teenager hanging out at the Notting Hill Carnival years before she moved to London herself. 5 “I feel lucky that it’s cool enough that people want to come where I live.” A. If so, you’re not alone. B. But there can be a darker side. C. And she has seen all kinds of actions people take to get a perfect picture. D. For her, nothing beats the pleasure to see so many people excited about it. E. However, when private homes become tourist attractions, quarrels can happen. F. As a travel lover, she has become pretty understanding when seeing the crowds again. G. Living in a much-photographed place, some people learn to take the good with the bad. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·浙江山海协作体-11月·期中）Why do we like sports? Jamie Carragher and Declan Rice are two English footballers who have said their sport is “all about winning”. 1 . Sports can reveal deep beauty and life lessons. Watching a man hanging in a Maltese position or a woman on the balance beam (平衡木), we’ll feel their unique strength. They take delight in the beauty of their bodies, and share that with us. 2 . They do it with extra care and delight that invite us into what they are doing. In a game, there is nothing wrong with an eagerness to do things well, but that’s different from demanding that it must happen. Former England football manager Roy Hodgson disliked the phrase — “a must-win game”. He believed much psychological suffering is created by believing “musts”. 3 . Phrases like “I must” and “I should” only increase pressure. Stick with “I want” or “I would like”. Then we can drop back into that calm, peaceful self. 4 . The problem is that it doesn’t tend to work that way. Caitlyn Jenner, an American track and field athlete, once talked about how she still felt troubled, even after winning Olympic Gold. Remember, we can only treasure this very moment that truly exists. Winning is frequently unimpressive, but the experience itself is enjoyable. The day after Jonny Wilkinson kicked the winning goal, he felt empty. However, he experienced a transcendence (超越) on the field. We are happiest when we lose ourselves in the experience. 5 . A. They don’t just do the sport B. However, that’s not the case C. A way to avoid this is to watch your language D. Seldom do we think how upset we’ll be if we lose the game. E. Doing sports can help us strengthen our body and mind F. We tend to think we’ll not feel satisfied until we achieve what we have expected G. Seeking to strengthen our sense of self through “winning” will not bring us happiness, but the experience itself will. Passage 6 （25-26高一上·浙江G5联盟-11月·期中）As the most popular sport in America, football is loved by people of all ages. But how much do you know about its history and development? Let’s explore some interesting facts you may not know. The first recorded football game took place in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. However, it looked very different from the modern sport. Teams had 25 players each, used a round ball, and players couldn’t carry it. 1 . 2 . Before WWII, one team played both offense and defense with no substitutions (替补). During the war, many potential football players were called up, leading to frequent team changes. 3 . This allowed substitutions, which proved popular and stayed common even after the war. The position of the goal post (球门柱) used to be different. At first, it was on the goal line, making field goals easier but causing safety problems — players sometimes ran into posts while catching touchdowns. 4 . As a result, it was eventually moved to the back of the end zone where it still stands today. Another fun fact is why the “quarterback” (四分卫) got its name. While many positions in football are named for obvious reasons, that is not the case for this one. 5 . The fullback stands farthest behind the offensive line (“fully back”), halfbacks stand halfway back. Finally, the quarterback stands between the halfbacks and the offensive line, therefore “a quarter of the way back” or “quarterback.” Now you know some fun facts about football’s history. Maybe this knowledge will make watching the next game even more enjoyable! A. As a result, the rules were adapted. B. It comes from where the player stands in a basic team formation. C. World War II slowed down the development of football rules. D. World War II brought important changes to football positions. E. It refers to the player’s role in leading four offensive plays. F. And, apart from the safety concerns, the goal post often got in the way of the game. G. Instead, they had to use various body parts to bat it towards the opponent’s goal. Passage 1 （25-26高一上·浙江金砖高中联盟-11月·期中）Team sports provide much more than just physical exercise for teenagers. They offer a unique environment that can shape character, teach valuable life lessons, and foster skills that are useful both on and off the field. 1 One of the most significant advantages is the development of social skills. 2 They must learn to communicate clearly, whether it's calling for a pass in soccer or discussing a strategy during a timeout. This process naturally helps shy individuals come out of their shell and teaches everyone the importance of listening and expressing themselves effectively. 3 Being part of a team means that wins and losses are shared experiences. This shared responsibility helps teenagers understand that their individual actions affect the entire group. Learning to handle defeat without blaming others and celebrating victories with humility are crucial emotional lessons. 4 It creates a powerful connection. Furthermore, team sports are a practical classroom for time management. Balancing games and schoolwork requires discipline and organization. 5 The ability to manage these competing demands is a skill that will serve them well in college and their future careers. In conclusion, the playing field is a training ground for life, helping teenagers grow into well-rounded and capable adults. A. This shared experience builds a strong sense of belonging and community. B. Teenagers are frequently communicating with coaches and teammates. C. Therefore, the devotion to a team teaches managing and planning. D. For instance, a player might have to sacrifice personal glory for the team’s benefit. E. In this setting, they learn about social skills, character forming and time management. F. Another key benefit lies in helping growth in responsibility and sportsmanship. G. Researches show exercise can improve mental health and reduce stress. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江S9联盟-11月·期中）Anxious about living with your roommate? Roommate conflicts (冲突) are part of many people’s college experiences. They are common. 1 With a little communication and skills, though, it doesn’t have to be the end of the roommate-relationship. 2 Find a space, and think about what is annoying you. Is your roommate not respecting your things? Making too much noise? Instead of writing down “last week, she ate all of my food again,” try to think this way, “she doesn’t respect my stuff, although I have reminded myself” — try to find out the exact problem. Then, talk to your roommate at a time that’s good for both of you. It’s a good idea to try to set the time in advance, so you can work out what’s going on between two of you. For example, ask if you can talk when you are both done with morning classes on Wednesday, on Saturday, etc. It is very likely that your roommate knows you want to have a talk. 3 When you are talking about your anxiety, don’t verbally (语言上) attack your roommate. 4 For example, instead of saying, “I can’t believe how impolite you are when …,” try saying, “It really annoys me that you borrow my clothes without asking.” Meanwhile, try to listen to your roommate’s thoughts. He may have some reasons behind what’s going on. If things just aren’t working out after the talks, it’s not the end of the world. It doesn’t mean you or your roommate did anything wrong. Some people just don’t live well together! 5 One of you just needs to change a room. A. Get clear about your problems. B. They just don’t respect each other. C. And they can be extremely terrible. D. So give him a few days to put his thoughts together, too. E. Maybe you both are much better friends than roommates. F. The more you verbally attack, the more he will fight back. G. Try using language that can help solve the problem, not the person. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·浙江七彩阳光·期中）Mastering Your Time: A Teen’s Guide to Effective Study Habits As high school students, balancing academics, hobbies, and social life can feel overwhelming. 1 . By adopting smart strategies, you can reduce stress and achieve more with less effort. 2 . For example, instead of thinking “I must finish all math homework tonight.”, break it into smaller tasks: “Complete five questions before dinner, and review notes after.” This approach prevents burnout and builds momentum. Creating a dedicated study space is equally vital. Choose a quiet area free from distractions like phones or TV. 3 . Research shows that consistent study locations signal your brain to focus faster. Additionally, use tools like times to practice the “Pomodoro Technique”: 25 minutes of concentrated work followed by a 5-minute break. Many teens lose sight of the power of prioritization. 4 . List all tasks, then arrange them in groups using the Eisenhower Matrix: Urgent & Important (do now) Important but Not Urgent (schedule later) Urgent but Unimportant (ask others to help if possible) Neither (skip them) This method helps you tackle high-impact tasks first. Finally, remember that rest fuels productivity. 5 . Enough sleep and extra-curricular activities recharge your mind, making study more effective. As psychologist Dr. Elena Torres notes, “Sustainable success comes from rhythm, not relentless pressure.” A. Start by setting realistic daily goals. B. Physical exercise should be included in your routine. C. Without clear priorities, you may waste hours on low-value activities. D. However, effective time management can help deal with this challenge. E. Your brain associates this environment with productivity. F. Breaking large projects into manageable steps reduces anxiety. G. Pushing yourself nonstop leads to poor outcomes. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·浙江环大罗山·期中）Starting high school is a new beginning, and it’s a perfect time to develop healthy habits, especially when it comes to sports and fitness. 1 Here are some practical tips to help you begin your fitness journey safely and effectively. Find your “Why” and “What” 2 Is it to have more energy, make new friends, or simply to feel healthier? Do you enjoy team sports like basketball or soccer, or do you prefer individual activities like swimming, running, or yoga? Trying out different clubs and activities in your new school is a great way to discover what you love. Start slow and set realistic goals It’s important not to push yourself too hard at the beginning. If you start with overly ambitious goals, you might get tired or even injured, which can make you lose motivation quickly. 3 For example, instead of aiming to run 5 kilometers in your first week, start with a 1-kilometer jog or a 20-minute walk. 4 Sticking to workouts is the key to fitness. It’s better to do a little exercise regularly than to do a lot all at once and then stop. You can schedule your workouts just like you schedule your study time. Even 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, can make a huge difference. Remember, it’s not about being perfect; it’s about being consistent. Listen to your body This is one of the most important rules. Your body will give you signals. It is significant to tell these warning signals from normal muscle soreness. If you feel pain such as a sharp pain, joint pain, or swelling, you need to rest. 5 Proper warm-up before exercise and stretching afterwards are also crucial to prevent injuries and help your body recover. A. Make workouts a habit B. Schedule your workouts C. Instead, set small, achievable goals that you can build upon. D. Knowing your purpose can help you choose the right activity. E. Don’t ignore these signals and try to “work through” the pain. F. You might feel excited but also a little unsure about how to start. G. Therefore, listening to your body is a skill that requires practice. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·浙江五湖联盟-11月·期中）From time to time, you may experience strong emotions, disappointment, sadness, frustration, even helplessness. 1 Here are five ways to help you manage your strong feelings. Accept Your Feelings The first step to any change is to accept what you feel. It is okay to feel stressed; it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. It is only a natural human response to stress, and those feelings do not define (界定) you. 2 Many of us do too, at various points in our lives. 3 If it is all too strong, just take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the breeze. Such actions will help you clear your mind and you will feel better when you return to that task. Make a List Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do. Perhaps there are too many topics to study, or you may have a long to-do list when organising a birthday event. Writing this down is a good idea as it would help you to make the different tasks. 4 This gives you some structure to work with, and you will feel calmer at the end of writing the list—you would have a better understanding of the task and yourself. Learn to Say ‘No’ Where you can help it, say ‘no’—learn to set boundaries for yourself. For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say no to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test. 5 Learning to manage intense emotions takes time and practice. Always be in touch with yourself, and learn what works best for you. You only have one YOU. A. Step away. B. Focus on yourself. C. So, put yourself first, and excuse yourself. D. There is nothing wrong with you feeling this way. E. You are bound to feel more at ease at the end of it. F. Dealing with strong feelings does not come easy for many of us. G. Then, rank the tasks in order of priority, depending on the importance or urgency. Passage 6 （25-26高一上·浙江浙南名校联盟-11月·期中）The Value of Travel Travel is not only about reaching a destination but also about experiencing the world in new ways. Through each journey, you discover cultures, stories, and values that can broaden your mind. 1 . A 2025 study reported that open-minded travel promotes growth and cross-cultural connections among students. To help you unlock these benefits, here are some tips to make your journey meaningful. Plan ahead but stay adaptable Having a plan gives you direction, but travel is full of surprises. Unexpected changes may challenge your ideas while also creating new opportunities. If you hold too tightly to your original plan, you may miss out on these chances. 2 . By doing so, you enjoy both safety and discovery. 3 Every community has traditions and lifestyles worth noticing, from food and music to simple greetings. Showing honour through small actions, like saying hello in the local language, can leave a positive impression. These gestures help you build genuine connections with students you meet. Slow down and notice the details Rather than rushing through famous spots, try slowing down to notice what might otherwise be ignored. The sound of street music, the smell of local dishes, or even a short chat with a shop owner may remain in your memory far longer than any postcard photo. 4 . Reflect on your journey Writing a diary or taking photos allows you to reflect on what you have learned on the way. 5 . Such reflection strengthens your understanding and can inspire others to begin their own journeys. A. Respect local traditions B. Focus on daily lifestyles C. Try to enjoy the famous sights in detail D. It can teach you lessons no classroom offers E. Revising your plan when needed helps you adapt F. These small experiences often leave the deepest impressions G. This practice also provides a way to share your experiences with others Passage 7 （25-26高一上·浙江9+1联盟-11月·期中）There’s a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit (继承) a fortune. 1 ” For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others. Scientific research provides data to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a happier and healthier life. Giving can feel great. 2 Plus, the more you give, the more you stand to gain purpose, meaning, and happiness. Follow these tips: Find your passion. It’s not how much you give. It’s how much love you put into giving. You might care about one cause more than others, and that’s okay. Support the cause that feels right for you. Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. 3 We can give some of this time to help others — whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year. Give to groups with clear goals. Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says that “giving to a cause that specifies what they’re going to do with your money or service leads to more happiness.” 4 “Selfless giving...easily becomes overwhelming,” psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal and emotional needs in mind. You matter too! Be active in activities. 5 . Think about your daily schedule — even a few hours each week can make a difference. For example, if you value a clean environment, giving a few hours each month to local clean-up efforts (like community trash-pickup events) can help a lot. A. Don’t forget about yourself. B. Love the cause you choose. C. Set aside time to serve your community. D. The key is to find the approach that works for you. E. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody. F. And as we learn early, it’s better to give than to receive. G. We don’t all have the same amount of money, but we all have time. Passage 8 （25-26高一上·浙江A9联盟·期中）How to be a Better Tourist While Abroad If you want to be a better traveler, here are some tips. Localize your experience. Support local, small, and family-run businesses. Think of the delicious foods, hand-made goods, and experiences that will keep your body dancing for more. Go on free walking trips led by locals who will teach you about history, culture, and all the must-do things in the area. 1 Whether you’re chatting with other travelers or locals around the tour, start a conversation and maybe you’ll end up with some new friends. Select public transportation. Although sometimes it may seem less convenient, choosing public transportation gives you closer access to the local ways of living, seeing your host community from different views, and possibly, reducing your carbon footprint. 2 3 When thinking about how to be a good traveler, an easy way to fit into the local community is to learn the customs and traditions and experience the richness of life in this place which is new for you. Let your life be different here than it is at home. Learn the language. Even if you don’t speak the local language fluently before you arrive, it’s better to at least learn some basic phrases. Put in the good effort, even if you don’t speak the language perfectly. 4 By stepping into a new language in a new location, you can step into a new version of yourself-which is pretty cool when you think about it. Take part in experiential learning. By doing research before you travel abroad, you will be getting yourself ready for some amazing learning chances. Everyone you meet has knowledge and real-life experiences that you can learn from. Everything you do or come across is an opportunity to learn and grow. 5 A. Do as the locals do. B. Take things as they come. C. This can also be an opportunity to meet people. D. It may even become a penny saver in the long run. E. You can record and reflect on your language learning. F.

A new report by Common Sense Media found that by the age of 11, more than half of kids in the US have their own smartphone. By age 12, more than two-thirds do, and by 14, teens are just as likely as adults to own a smartphone. 1 Nearly 20% of 8-year-olds have their own smartphone! Well, I study the effects of media and technology on kids, and I’m here to say that there is no single right answer to this question. The best I can offer is this: When both you and your parents feel the time is right. 2 Be responsible. Have you shown that you are generally responsible? Do you understand the value of money, and can you save up to buy things you want? Keep safe. Do you travel to or from school or after-school activities without an adult? 3 Sometimes parents report that they feel better knowing they can reach their children directly, and that their kids can reach them, too. 4 Do you treat your friends with kindness and respect? Do you know the fact that once something goes out onto the web, it can never truly be deleted (删除)? When you have a smartphone, your parents are the No. 1 most important influence in your life. If parents use their phones all day, guess what? 5 However, if parents have smartphone habits like putting the phone away during meals, that will go a long way toward helping kids develop the same habits.

Sometimes, people with friendship anxiety worry about whether or not they have enough friends and constantly try to make new connections. 4 It’s better to have one or two friends who truly care about you than a group of “friends” you’re not actually that close to. Choose friends who have your back and want the best for you. ▲ Give yourself time to overcome your feelings. You likely won’t get over your friendship anxiety overnight, and that’s okay. 5 Accept yourself for where you are now, and remember that progress is progress, no matter how small it may seem.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·浙江北仑中学·期中）How to Stay Calm No Matter Who Pushes Your Buttons Have you ever felt like some people exist just to test your patience? 1 But guess what? You don’t have to let such people bother you. The following are some suggestions on becoming untouchable mentally, emotionally, and psychologically. Master the Power of Not Caring The first rule of never getting angry: realize that most people aren’t worth the energy it takes to get upset. Think about it — when someone cuts you off in traffic or deliberately tries to provoke (挑衅) you, what do you gain by reacting? 2 3 Stop letting other people’s opinions occupy space in your mind. Here’s your new motto: Not everyone’s opinion matters. Say it. Believe it. Live it. Unless someone is supporting you, feeding you, or holds a legal agreement with you, their opinions hold no real power. Expect People to Be Inconsiderate Accept this difficult truth: many people simply lack basic life awareness. This isn’t about lacking intelligence, 4 . They will cut you off in traffic. They will reply with one-word texts. They will talk during movies. So change your approach: when someone says something rude, laugh. Not a forced, polite laugh — but a genuine, amused chuckle. It throws people off. After all, they expect anger, rather than amusement. Build a High-Tolerance Mindset Here’s the final step: train yourself to be unshakable. How? Practice. Stand in long lines without sighing or complaining. Scroll through social media without reacting to every annoying post. Let someone cut you off in traffic and simply nod. 5 Eventually, nothing will drive you mad. Master these strategies, and you’ll walk through life with the calm of a Zen master and the confidence of a leader. A. Find Someone Supporting You B. Choose Whose Voice You Hear C. it’s because they need opportunities to express themselves. D. Anger only exhausts you, while the other person moves on without caring. E. but about not realizing how their actions affect others. F. The slow walkers, the loud eaters, the overly dramatic ones — yes, them. G. The more you experience annoyances without reacting, the calmer you will become. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·浙江衢州五校·期中）Glowing Chinese Lanterns Chinese lanterns come from a 2,000-year-old tale: When Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang needed to send a signal during a dark night, he had an idea. 1 He wove together the bamboo frame (框架) in the same shape as the hat he was known for wearing. After placing the rice paper over the frame and a candle at the base, the first Chinese lantern was lit. Zhuge Liang was also called Kongming, his traditional style name in ancient China. 2 Today, these floating lanterns are common in all Chinese festivities. Carefully made, they often feature Chinese calligraphy and traditional good-fortune symbols—dragons, flowers and the New Year’s zodiac animal. Outside of China, they have been adopted for festivals worldwide. These creative lanterns are also seen as an early form of the hot-air balloon, which was invented later in 1783. 3 Did you know? Sky lanterns can reach altitudes of up to 800 metres. Traditionally, the outside of a Chinese lantern is made of rice paper or silk. The paper covering the lantern is translucent (半透明的), meaning it lets some light through. 4 This creates a wonderful sight when many are let go into the sky at one time during Chinese celebrations. Chinese lanterns come in different colours, but most of them are red as it represents luck and joy. 5 Yet today they hold new meanings, such as bringing luck to school students. Besides, white lanterns are usually used for funerals, as they show sadness and respect for the dead in these serious ceremonies. A. He tried to ask for help from other people. B. Inside, a small candle or light glows through. C. He turned to a piece of rice paper and some bamboo. D. Green lanterns are a sign of health and success in celebrations. E. Both use rising hot air and light frames to lift them into the sky. F. Yellow lanterns were thought to be noble and powerful in ancient China. G. That’s why Chinese lanterns got the name—“Kongming Lanterns”. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·浙江杭州第二中学·期中）The Hedgehog (刺猬)’s Dilemma is an idea about wanting close relationships but being afraid of getting hurt emotionally. German philosopher Schopenhauer used the metaphor (比喻) of hedgehogs seeking warmth on a cold winter day: they crowd together for comfort but soon feel the pain of each other’s quills (刺). They separate, only to feel the cold again, eventually finding a suitable distance that allows warmth without pain. 1 So that’s the theory, but what does this look like in our everyday lives? 2 . But should we let these experiences stop us from trusting people in the future? Schopenhauer’s advice would probably be “yes”. 3 For example, a previous study found that individuals with strong social connections have a 50% increased likelihood of survival. Additionally, the National Institute on Aging reports that the health risks of long-term isolation (隔离)are equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. 4 Psychological therapist (心理治疗师) Hilary Sanders explains that behaviors like isolation or anger can serve as survival strategies during childhood. These defenses may protect us for a short time, but if they last too long, they can stop us from making real connections. In conclusion, the natural longing for connection drives us to seek out meaningful relationships, even when we know that weakness can lead to emotional pain. Unlike hedgehogs, humans don’t have the quills. 5 So when we learn to lower our defenses for safe people, there’s a chance we actually can have it all—the warmth of true relationships without the fear of being hurt. A. However, modern research offers a different perspective. B. This metaphor shows how important it is to fit in with nature. C. Most of the defensive reactions originate from early experiences. D. These experiences can make it difficult to trust others in the future. E. Many people share stories of emotional pain from close relationships. F. This is similar to humans’ struggle to balance closeness and self-protection. G. We have the ability to choose whom we trust and how we protect ourselves. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
