Sheets, pillowcases, and mattresses can harbor dirt, germs and allergens (过敏原) that affect our skin and overall health. But what’s the sweet spot for washing frequency? Our website asked experts to share their preferred intervals (间隔) and tips on how to do it well. Pillowcases Pillowcases are the landing pad for your skin, hair and all the oils and dirt carried with them. It is recommended that pillowcases should be washed at least once a week. People who have sensitive skin or allergies often benefit from a more frequent routine, like every three to four days. To help clean cases last longer, shower before bed. And don’t forget your pillows: washing them once per season is the sweet spot. Sheets At a minimum, you should wash your sheets once a week. But a variety of factors call for more frequent washing. One is the summer heat, since sweat “can lead to bacteria and odor on our sheets.” Plus, allergens like pollen can travel inside with you, so washing more frequently can help reduce symptoms. Mattresses Every time you strip the bedding, let the mattress breathe for a bit rather than immediately putting on a new set of sheets. “Leave it for a few hours with some windows open.” Still air and covered mattresses encourage dust mites and allergens to thrive. Vacuum (用吸尘器吸) it two to three times a year. If it smells, sprinkle on a thin layer of baking soda, let it sit for a few hours. And then vacuum it up. 1.Which of the following bedding is advised to be cleaned once per season? A. Pillowcases. B. Pillows. C. Sheets. D. Mattresses. 2.Which is a proper way to clean the mattress? A. Exposing it to fresh air for a few minutes. B. Vacuuming it up before spraying baking soda. C. Removing the bedding and leaving it for a while. D. Placing new sheets instantly when making the bed. 3.Where is the text probably taken from? A. A lifestyle website. B. A health magazine. C. A medical journal. D. A product handbook. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文，主要讲的是如何清洗床单、枕套和床垫的建议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Pillowcases部分的“And don’t forget your pillows: washing them once per season is the sweet spot.(别忘了你的枕头：每个季节洗一次是最好的。)”可知，建议每季清洗一次的是枕头。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Mattresses部分“Every time you strip the bedding, let the mattress breathe for a bit rather than immediately putting on a new set of sheets.(每次剥下被褥时，让床垫呼吸一会儿，而不是立即换上一套新被褥。)”可知，清洁床垫的正确方法是把床上用品拿走，放一会儿。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Most of us could benefit from washing our bedding more often. Sheets, pillowcases, and mattresses can harbor dirt, germs and allergens (过敏原) that affect our skin and overall health. But what’s the sweet spot for washing frequency? Our website asked experts to share their preferred intervals (间隔) and tips on how to do it well.(经常洗床上用品对我们大多数人都有好处。床单、枕套和床垫会藏有污垢、细菌和过敏原，影响我们的皮肤和整体健康。但洗涤频率的最佳点是什么呢？我们的网站邀请专家分享他们喜欢的间隔时间以及如何做好的建议。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是如何清洗床单、枕套和床垫，因此可能来自于一个生活方式网站。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·浙江杭州学军中学·期中）Nobody likes to spend money on a new book only to face disappointment when it doesn’t live up to your expectations.

The Quickening: Creation and Community at the ends of the Earth by Elizabeth Rush (Milkweed Editions 2023/2024) It documents a 2019 exploration to Thwaites Glacier, which is critical to global sea-level rise. Besides recording the groundbreaking voyage, the book explores a personal question: What does it mean to have a child in extreme climate changes? The Quickening is an astonishing, vital book about Antarctica, climate change, and motherhood. Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question: Deciding Whether to Have Children in an Uncertain Future by Jade Sasser (Princeton University Press 2024) Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question is the first comprehensive study on how environmental emotions like eco-anxiety and climate guilt affect people’s decisions about having children. Sasser connects climate emotions with climate justice, stressing that culturally proper mental health services are key to ensuring justice for at-risk communities. Lessons for Survival: Mothering Against “The Apocalyptic” by Emily Raboteau (Henry Holt 2024) The book, from a mother’s perspective, shares pilgrimages (朝圣之旅) to help her children grow in a crisis-filled era. With a camera, she seeks safe spaces for her kids, reflects on Black womanhood, motherhood and urban possibilities, and celebrates the beauty and weakness of nature. Combining reportage, autobiography and stories of protection, this creative work offers profound hope. Magic in a Drop of Water: How Ruth Patrick Taught the World about Water Pollution by Julie Winterbottom and illustrated by Susan Reagan (Rocky Pond Books 2025) It tells that as a brilliant scientist and a pioneer in studying water pollution, Ruth Patrick taught the world how to care for the environment. Born in 1907, Ruth Patrick was one of the only women in her field when she made her breakthrough discovery about biodiversity and the ecosystem of rivers, forever changing how ecologists understand pollution. 1.What theme do The Quickening and Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question have in common?

World View. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了四本突出女性在气候行动中的领导力，尤其关注年轻女性重要作用的书籍的相关介绍。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据The Quickening: Creation and Community at the ends of the Earth by Elizabeth Rush (Milkweed Editions 2023/2024)部分中“Besides recording the groundbreaking voyage, the book explores a personal question: What does it mean to have a child in extreme climate changes?(这本书除了记录这次开创性的航行外，还探讨了一个个人问题：在极端气候变化下生孩子意味着什么？)”以及Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question: Deciding Whether to Have Children in an Uncertain Future by Jade Sasser (Princeton University Press 2024)部分中“Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question is the first comprehensive study on how environmental emotions like eco-anxiety and climate guilt affect people’s decisions about having children.(《Climate Anxiety and the Kid Question 》是第一项全面研究生态焦虑和气候内疚等环境情绪如何影响人们生育决策的研究。)”可知，两本书的共同点是两者都分析了气候变化对育儿决策的心理影响。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Lessons for Survival: Mothering Against “The Apocalyptic” by Emily Raboteau (Henry Holt 2024)部分中“Combining reportage, autobiography and stories of protection, this creative work offers profound hope.(这部结合了报道、自传和保护故事的作品，带来了深刻的希望。)”可知，《Lessons for Survival》结合了不同的写作风格来表达希望。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“The following four books highlight women’s leadership in climate action, with a special focus on the vital role of young women.(以下四本书强调了女性在气候行动中的领导力，特别关注年轻女性的关键作用。)”可知，文章主要介绍了四本聚焦女性在气候行动中领导力的书籍，由此可推知，文章可能出现在报纸的“书评”部分。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·浙江环大罗山·期中）From breathtaking landscapes to family favorites, National Geographic Traveler’s Best of the World list is back with the destinations that deserve your attention.

Azores The Azores, a necklace of nine attractive islands in the middle of the Atlantic, are part of Portugal. These volcanic islands are known for whale-watching and hot springs. The islands’ pools, volcanic lakes, waterfalls and steaming geysers (间歇泉) all bear witness to the violent volcanic forces.

But new measures are helping case some of the pressure. The Tuli Block holds animals like leopards and a large elephant population. Visitors can enjoy guided safaris here, experiencing the stunning wildlife up close while supporting conservation efforts. Guyana Thick rain forests, vast savannahs (稀树草原), magical mountain ranges and grand rivers-Guyana may be one of South America’s smaller nations, but it holds strong appeal for nature-lovers.

Sheets, pillowcases, and mattresses can harbor dirt, germs and allergens (过敏原) that affect our skin and overall health. But what’s the sweet spot for washing frequency? Our website asked experts to share their preferred intervals (间隔) and tips on how to do it well. Pillowcases Pillowcases are the landing pad for your skin, hair and all the oils and dirt carried with them. It is recommended that pillowcases should be washed at least once a week. People who have sensitive skin or allergies often benefit from a more frequent routine, like every three to four days. To help clean cases last longer, shower before bed. And don’t forget your pillows: washing them once per season is the sweet spot. Sheets At a minimum, you should wash your sheets once a week. But a variety of factors call for more frequent washing. One is the summer heat, since sweat “can lead to bacteria and odor on our sheets.” Plus, allergens like pollen can travel inside with you, so washing more frequently can help reduce symptoms.

Studies by the World Health Organization show that over 60% of people fail to meet their daily hydration needs, often because they forget to drink water or avoid carrying huge, inconvenient bottles. Dehydration (脱水) can lead to fatigue, poor focus, and even weakened immune function, issues that slip under the radar for most busy people. Not all water bottles are created equal. With countless trendy designs — from vibrant plastic to minimalist stainless steel — it’s easy to overlook what truly matters: smart hydration support. But now, research by engineers from the Stanford Center for Health Technology has introduced a game-changing innovation. This intelligent bottle technology was developed, combining temperature-sensing tech with gentle reminders to create what’s now known as HydraSmart®. Key Features of HydraSmart® The Only Water Bottle certified by the International Hydration Association for Accurate Tracking & Temperature Control. The HydraSenseTM System monitors your daily water intake in real time (connecting to your phone via Bluetooth) and keeps liquids cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 — plus it sends a soft LED reminder when it’s time to sip, so you never miss a drink.
