Passage 2
(25-26高二上·新疆喀什·期中)Certainly, there are many non-verbal cues that have completely different meanings in different cultures. One of the most important means of non-verbal communication in any culture is eye contact.
Eye Contact in Western Europe
On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person. 1
On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation. 2 This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.
Eye Contact in the Middle East
3 But they do have similarities in their rules for the proper eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less proper in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States. 4 These rules are connected to religious laws. Only a short moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.
As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture. 5 Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!
A. Be careful not to make eye contact with women.
B. And this is especially true in business conversations.

E. Before you travel, you’d better check out about the country you plan to visit.

Passage 3
(25-26高二上·新疆维吾尔自治区霍城县伊·期中)How to Make Your Stories Better
Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone knows how to tell it well. The following tips can help you change your writing and make it more interesting for your readers.
Use Your Senses
A simple way to make your writing feel more personal and real is to use your senses to describe things. Don’t just say what happened; describe how it looked, sounded, smelled, or felt.
1 For example, instead of writing “The room was messy,” you could try “The room smelled of old pizza, and there were wrinkled papers all over the floor.”
Make Characters Real
Real people are not simple, and good characters in stories shouldn’t be either. 2 If your hero is always perfectly brave, or the bad person is only evil, your characters might not feel real. Giving your hero some weaknesses or the bad person a good point can make your story much better.
3
Many people wrongly think that their first try at writing must be perfect. 4 Remember, the point of the first draft is just to write down your ideas. You can always make it better later. Even good writers need to change their work many times.
Ask Others for Advice
Sharing your writing with others can be scary, but it is a very good way to see new ideas, find mistakes, and improve. 5 For example, your family or close friends might be too nice because they care about you. So, it’s better to ask someone who will tell you the truth about what needs to be improved.
By using these ideas, you can make your stories deeper and more lively, keeping your readers interested until the end.
A. Don’t try to make the first draft perfect.
B. Becoming a good writer takes time and effort.
C. The important thing is to begin writing and not stop.
D. But you should be careful about who you ask to read it.
E. Interesting stories often come from the writer’s own life.
F. Try to show the different parts of your characters’ personalities.
G. This is an easy way to make your writing richer and more varied.
Passage 4
(25-26高二上·新疆疏附县·期中)Body Language Tips for Your Next Interview
Body language can reveal yourselves, and interviewers are definitely paying attention to it. For a job interview, you want to present the best version of yourself. 1
Make a solid first impression. The interview begins as soon as you enter the building. When you connect with whomever you encounter, maintain strong eye contact and introduce yourself confidently. If you are in a waiting area, avoid hunching over (弯腰驼背) our phone. 2 Instead, sit upright in a comfortable position.
3 Discomfort is another issue that can be very disturbing for both you and the interviewer. Buying a nice pair of new shoes or a belt to match your suit may seem like a great idea, but if your wardrobe (衣柜) causes you to be nervous or do a lot of shifting, consider going with a proper but reliable choice instead.
Be responsive and listen to understand. It’s natural to tell the interviewer all about yourself and the achievements and experiences that make you stand out. But don’t forget to listen and engage with what the interviewers are saying. 4 And how you behave when you’re not talking is an important part of the impression you’ll make.
Be mindful of your hands. Interviewers are trying to get a sense of who you are, so let your personality shine through! This includes talking with your hands if that comes naturally to you. Stifling a feature like this can actually lead to unnecessary nervousness. 5
A. Buy new clothes before the interview.
B. Think twice before wearing the new shoes.
C. Just adopt the tips below to impress interviewers
D. They will be looking to assess your interpersonal skills.
E. They will assume you are not interested in your future position.
F. This kind of body language can be easily understood as boredom.
G. So feel free to use your hands to communicate effectively and sincerely.
Passage 1
(25-26高二上·新疆生产建设兵团第二师八一中学·期中)Reading body language can tell you a lot about someone’s feelings or what they really mean when they’re speaking. 1 So take some notes!
Leaning and turning away.
People are likely to get close to or lean to things that interest them. 2 If someone leans towards you, then they’re probably interested in what you’re saying. If they’re turning away, then they might like an opportunity to end the conversation.
Raised eyebrows.
When someone raises their eyebrows, they might be feeling any of these emotions. Raised eyebrows are another common facial clue that someone is feeling uncomfortable. 3
Crossed arms and legs.
4 For example, if you’re in a business negotiation and the other party has their arms crossed, they might not be liking what you’re proposing. Many people cross arms and legs involuntarily, which is a symbol of being mentally, physically, and emotionally blocked off from someone. It could also mean that a person feels insecure or guarded.
5
If someone is copying your body language, it can be an unconscious sign that they’re feeling a connection with you. It is a good sign that a conversation or interaction is going well. For example, someone leans their head the same way as you when you’re talking or shifts their legs in the same direction as you.
A. Repeated language.
B. Mirrored body language.
C. However, it shows they could be cold.
D. It can even help you connect better with people
E. Worry, surprise, and fear are all types of discomfort.
F. Instead, they stay away from things they aren’t interested in.
G. In a conversation, the non-verbal clues can show disagreement.
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·新疆·期中)Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us. Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight, but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes. Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight:

Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products. 3 Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.
4 .
As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

Urban parks protect the environment.
Trees absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, reducing air pollution. They also provide shade, which lowers temperatures during hot summers. For example, studies show parks can reduce the “heat island” effect caused by roads and buildings, cooling nearby areas by up to 7℃. 2
Parks improve public health.
They offer spaces for jogging, cycling, and other exercises, encouraging physical activity. Spending time in nature also reduces stress and improves mental health. Research shows people who visit parks regularly have lower risks of being overweight and heart disease. 3 They are vital for healthy living.

As experts say, “Parks break down social barriers and create shared joy.” These interactions build a sense of belonging in crowded cities.
Parks greatly benefit local economies.
Homes near parks often have higher values, attracting families and investors. 5 Parks also draw tourists, boosting income for hotels, and restaurants.
A. Clearly, parks are not just for fun.
B. Parks strengthen community connections.
C. Investing in parks creates jobs and supports businesses.
D. Urban parks are essential green spaces in modern cities.
E. This makes parks critical for cities facing climate challenges.
F. Maintaining green spaces is wise for cities aiming for growth.
G. Nearby shops and cafes see more customers, especially on weekends.
Passage 4
(25-26高二上·新疆音郭楞蒙古自治州且末县第一中·期中)How to Forgive Someone
Forgiving someone who has done something wrong and hurt you can be difficult and painful. 1 While this is natural, holding on to your anger causes you to become more painful. For this reason, it is necessary to choose to forgive, not for the other person, but for yourself. The following suggestions will help you forgive someone.
Release your anger. Let go of all the negative feelings you have towards the other person. Allow yourself to cry, go into nature, and talk to someone you trust, or do whatever helps you release these bad feelings. 2
Give it time. Forgiveness does not come easily. 3 It is something that can be realized little by little every day.
4 Once you've had time to cool down and think things through, you may clearly explain to the other person, in a calm manner, how his actions have hurt you and how they have made you feel. This is very important, or you will bottle up feelings of anger towards the other person, making true forgiveness impossible.
Focus on the future. Once you have made the decision to forgive someone, you need to forget the past and focus on the future. 5 It might be just what your relationship needs.
A. Get angry at someone.
B. Tell the other person how you feel.
C. Your first reaction is probably to hold on to your anger.
D. It requires self-control, determination and, above all, time.
E. Look on the bright side of the future and make a fresh start.

G. It's unnecessary to rebuild a relationship with anyone or let him go.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·新疆克拉玛依独山子区第二中学·期中)How to Show Respect
Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. Here are some easy ways to show respect in your life.
Listen to others.
Practice active listening to show you respect others. 1 Nod your head and ask follow-up questions to stay focused in the conversation. Even if you disagree, try to consider the point of view before responding.
Confirm (肯定) people’s opinions.
When you’re talking to someone, confirm their opinions in your own words. You can also mention their achievements to let them know you see how hard they’ve worked. You could say something like, “What you just said was really cool. 2 ” Or, “I can tell you’ve worked super hard to get your business off the ground.”
Apologize when you’re in the wrong.
It shows a great deal of maturity (成熟). If you mess up, a simple “I’m sorry” goes a long way. Try not to make excuses for yourself. 3 For example, if you forgot a deadline, you could say, “I’m really sorry. I’ll be setting reminders so this doesn’t happen again.”
4
Stick to your word. If you commit (承诺) to an event or make plans with someone, come through on your end of the deal. Being reliable shows respect for people’s time. Have your materials in order and complete all the necessary work ahead of time. 5 It can be tough at first, but it’s better to be honest.
A. Do what you say you’ll do.
B. Just say no if you can’t commit.
C. Wait to talk instead of merely listening.
D. I can tell you’ve thought a lot about this topic.
E. Watch and be quiet when someone else is talking.
F. Excuses are useless if you want to correct your mistakes.
G. It might also be helpful to have a plan to avoid such mistakes again.
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·新疆生产建设兵团第二中学·期中)It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. 1 Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life.
Redefine what patience actually means.
If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. 2 Let it happen without destroying your mood.
3
A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”. At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy,” — you stay focused on living your life. 4 They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first.
Slow down your life with your physical movements.
When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming, slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do. But rushing around only makes you more annoyed, restless, and anxious. On the contrary, when you physically slow down, your brain tends to follow. Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. 5
A. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
B. Change your own attitude towards others.
C. In fact, it is something that you can work on.
D. It makes sense to control yourself and be patient.
E. Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others.
F. Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything.
G. That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience.
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·新疆维吾尔自治区巴楚县第一中·期中)Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills. If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye, you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations. 1
Try to relax as much as possible. The more you think about what you’re doing, the more awkward you’ll feel. Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty. 2 If you’re going into an important meeting or interview, do some breathing exercises. A few big, full, deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down.
3 It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes. It’s more common to focus on one, or on a spot on the face, rather than trying to look at both eyes at once. If it helps, try moving back and forth between the two eyes.
Break your gaze (凝视) to make other gestures while listening. 4 This looks natural as well as providing you with a needed break if necessary.
Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen. It’s one thing to look while you’re listening. 5 Don’t be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you’re talking.
A. Focus on one eye.
B. Practice other good listening skills.
C. So staying relaxed is of particular importance.
D. Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible.
E. Doing so can make you a better listener and a more effective speaker.
F. It’s good to break eye contact when you’re laughing, or to nod and smile.
G. But it’s more difficult to keep eye contact while you’re also trying to say something.

(1)题解析:
根据上文“On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person.(一方面,欧洲人眼神交流的习俗——尤其是在西班牙、法国和德国等国家——与美国人相似。与他人保持几乎不间断的目光接触被认为是恰当和礼貌的)”可知,上文提到了欧洲人与他人保持几乎不间断的目光接触被认为是恰当和礼貌的,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文说明这一习俗的应用。故B选项“在商务对话中尤其如此”符合语境,故选B。
(2)题解析:
根据上文“On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation.(另一方面,欧洲人在拥挤的公共场合往往会避免眼神接触,比如在穿过繁忙的市中心或乘坐公共交通工具时)”以及后文“This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.(这可能发生在他对她们感兴趣的时候,他试图通过眼神交流来表达他的兴趣。因此,对于游客来说,通过回应别人的眼神交流来理解他们所暗示的全部含义是很重要的)”可知,后文提到了通过眼神交流来表达他的兴趣,可知本句与上文“避免眼神接触”构成转折关系,指出有些国家的人喜欢眼神交流,故F选项“然而,在像法国这样的国家,一个陌生人可以很自由地看别人”符合语境,故选F。

(5)题解析:
根据上文“As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture.(正如你所看到的,在你访问一个新的文化之前,了解眼神交流是很重要的)”以及后文“Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!(了解如何明智地使用眼神交流和其他身体语言,这样你就会被认为是有礼貌的,这样你就可以更好地与那些对你来说是陌生文化的人交流!)”可知,上文提到了眼神交流的重要性,后文说明了要了解如何明智地使用眼神交流和其他身体语言,可见在去旅行前要了解一下你计划去的国家。故E选项“在你旅行之前,你最好了解一下你计划去的国家”符合语境,故选E。
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·新疆维吾尔自治区霍城县伊·期中)How to Make Your Stories Better
Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone knows how to tell it well. The following tips can help you change your writing and make it more interesting for your readers.
Use Your Senses
A simple way to make your writing feel more personal and real is to use your senses to describe things. Don’t just say what happened; describe how it looked, sounded, smelled, or felt.
1 For example, instead of writing “The room was messy,” you could try “The room smelled of old pizza, and there were wrinkled papers all over the floor.”
Make Characters Real
Real people are not simple, and good characters in stories shouldn’t be either. 2 If your hero is always perfectly brave, or the bad person is only evil, your characters might not feel real. Giving your hero some weaknesses or the bad person a good point can make your story much better.
3
Many people wrongly think that their first try at writing must be perfect. 4 Remember, the point of the first draft is just to write down your ideas. You can always make it better later. Even good writers need to change their work many times.
Ask Others for Advice
Sharing your writing with others can be scary, but it is a very good way to see new ideas, find mistakes, and improve. 5 For example, your family or close friends might be too nice because they care about you. So, it’s better to ask someone who will tell you the truth about what needs to be improved.
By using these ideas, you can make your stories deeper and more lively, keeping your readers interested until the end.
A. Don’t try to make the first draft perfect.
B. Becoming a good writer takes time and effort.
C. The important thing is to begin writing and not stop.
D. But you should be careful about who you ask to read it.
E. Interesting stories often come from the writer’s own life.
F. Try to show the different parts of your characters’ personalities.
G. This is an easy way to make your writing richer and more varied.
【答案】1. G 2. F 3. A 4. C 5. D
【解析】【导语】
这是一篇说明文。本文提供了如何通过感官描写、塑造真实角色、接受初稿不完美及寻求他人建议等方法,让故事更生动有趣的写作技巧。
(1)题解析:
前文“A simple way to make your writing feel more personal and real is to use your senses to describe things. Don’t just say what happened; describe how it looked, sounded, smelled, or felt.(让你的文字更具个人色彩和真实感的一个简单方法是运用你的感官去描述事物。不要只是说发生了什么,还要描述它看起来、听起来、闻起来或感觉起来是怎样的。)”提到了用感官描述让写作更真实,后文举“房间凌乱”的改写例子。选项G中This是关键词,指代“用感官描述”,“让写作更丰富多样”承接前文好处,同时引出后文具体案例,逻辑衔接紧密;故选G项。
(2)题解析:
前文“Real people are not simple, and good characters in stories shouldn’t be either.(真实的人并非简单,故事中的好的人物形象也不应如此。)”强调了角色不应简单,后文“If your hero is always perfectly brave, or the bad person is only evil, your characters might not feel real.(如果你笔下的英雄总是无比英勇,或者反派人物只是纯粹的邪恶,那么你的角色可能就显得不够真实。)”提醒要避免英雄完美、坏人全恶。F选项“展示角色性格的不同方面”精准衔接“不简单”的核心,后文“Giving your hero some weaknesses or the bad person a good point can make your story much better.(给你的主人公设定一些弱点,或者给反派设定一些优点,这样能让你的故事变得更加精彩。)”是对该句的具体解释。故选F项。
(3)题解析:
后文“Many people wrongly think that their first try at writing must be perfect.(许多人错误地认为他们初次写作时必须做到完美无缺。)”围绕很多人误以为初稿必须完美展开,强调“初稿只需记录想法,后续可修改”。选项A“不要追求初稿完美”直接概括段落核心,作为标题能精准统领全段内容。故选A项。
(4)题解析:
根据后文“Remember, the point of the first draft is just to write down your ideas. You can always make it better later. Even good writers need to change their work many times.(请记住,初稿的重点仅仅是写下你的想法。你总可以在之后进行改进。即便是优秀的作家也需要多次修改他们的作品。)”可知,初稿要写下自己的观点,并不断进行修改,这说明要开始写并不停地修改。C选项”重要的是开始写并不要停”符合,引起下文。故选C项。
(5)题解析:
前文“Sharing your writing with others can be scary, but it is a very good way to see new ideas, find mistakes, and improve.(将自己的作品分享给他人可能会让人感到害怕,但这样做却是一种非常好的方式,能让你看到新的想法、发现错误并加以改进。)”指出了要将自己的作品给别人看,后文举例子“For example, your family or close friends might be too nice because they care about you.(例如,你的家人或亲密朋友可能会因为在乎你而过于友善。)”说明要谨慎选择让别人看,因为你的朋友或家人可能会因为在乎你而不给你真诚的建议,D项“但你需要谨慎选择让谁来阅读它。”符合,引起下午,同时和上文构成转折,故选D项。
Passage 4
(25-26高二上·新疆疏附县·期中)Body Language Tips for Your Next Interview
Body language can reveal yourselves, and interviewers are definitely paying attention to it. For a job interview, you want to present the best version of yourself. 1
Make a solid first impression. The interview begins as soon as you enter the building. When you connect with whomever you encounter, maintain strong eye contact and introduce yourself confidently. If you are in a waiting area, avoid hunching over (弯腰驼背) our phone. 2 Instead, sit upright in a comfortable position.
3 Discomfort is another issue that can be very disturbing for both you and the interviewer. Buying a nice pair of new shoes or a belt to match your suit may seem like a great idea, but if your wardrobe (衣柜) causes you to be nervous or do a lot of shifting, consider going with a proper but reliable choice instead.
Be responsive and listen to understand. It’s natural to tell the interviewer all about yourself and the achievements and experiences that make you stand out. But don’t forget to listen and engage with what the interviewers are saying. 4 And how you behave when you’re not talking is an important part of the impression you’ll make.
Be mindful of your hands. Interviewers are trying to get a sense of who you are, so let your personality shine through! This includes talking with your hands if that comes naturally to you. Stifling a feature like this can actually lead to unnecessary nervousness. 5
A. Buy new clothes before the interview.
B. Think twice before wearing the new shoes.
C. Just adopt the tips below to impress interviewers
D. They will be looking to assess your interpersonal skills.
E. They will assume you are not interested in your future position.
F. This kind of body language can be easily understood as boredom.
G. So feel free to use your hands to communicate effectively and sincerely.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·新疆生产建设兵团第二师八一中学·期中)Reading body language can tell you a lot about someone’s feelings or what they really mean when they’re speaking. 1 So take some notes!
Leaning and turning away.
People are likely to get close to or lean to things that interest them. 2 If someone leans towards you, then they’re probably interested in what you’re saying. If they’re turning away, then they might like an opportunity to end the conversation.
Raised eyebrows.
When someone raises their eyebrows, they might be feeling any of these emotions. Raised eyebrows are another common facial clue that someone is feeling uncomfortable. 3
Crossed arms and legs.
4 For example, if you’re in a business negotiation and the other party has their arms crossed, they might not be liking what you’re proposing. Many people cross arms and legs involuntarily, which is a symbol of being mentally, physically, and emotionally blocked off from someone. It could also mean that a person feels insecure or guarded.
5
If someone is copying your body language, it can be an unconscious sign that they’re feeling a connection with you. It is a good sign that a conversation or interaction is going well. For example, someone leans their head the same way as you when you’re talking or shifts their legs in the same direction as you.
A. Repeated language.
B. Mirrored body language.
C. However, it shows they could be cold.
D. It can even help you connect better with people
E. Worry, surprise, and fear are all types of discomfort.
F. Instead, they stay away from things they aren’t interested in.
G. In a conversation, the non-verbal clues can show disagreement.

(1)题解析:
上文“Reading body language can tell you a lot about someone’s feelings or what they really mean when they’re speaking.(解读肢体语言可以让你了解很多关于某人的感受,或者他们说话时的真实意图)”说明了解读肢体语言的作用,空处和前文为顺接关系,应继续说明解读肢体语言的好处。D项(它甚至可以帮助你更好地与人沟通)”承接上文内容,进一步说明了解读肢体语言的好处,且D项中的“It”指代上文的“Reading body language”,故选D。
(2)题解析:
上文“People are likely to get close to or lean to things that interest them.(人们可能会接近或倾向于他们感兴趣的东西)”说明人们会对感兴趣的东西有靠近或倾向的行为,下文“If someone leans towards you, then they’re probably interested in what you’re saying. If they’re turning away, then they might like an opportunity to end the conversation.(如果有人向你靠近,那么他们可能对你所说的话感兴趣。如果他们转过身去,那么他们可能希望有机会结束谈话)”进一步说明了人们靠近或转身所代表的含义,F项(相反,他们远离他们不感兴趣的东西。)和上文中的“get close to or lean to things that interest them”形成对比,且F项中的“Instead”表示转折,引出下文对远离不感兴趣事物的描述,符合语境。故选F。
(3)题解析:
上文“When someone raises their eyebrows, they might be feeling any of these emotions. Raised eyebrows are another common facial clue that someone is feeling uncomfortable.(当有人扬起眉毛时,他们可能会感受到这些情绪中的任何一种。扬起眉毛是另一个人感到不舒服的常见面部线索)”说明扬起眉毛是感到不舒服的面部线索,下文应进一步说明这种不舒服的情绪可能包括哪些。E项(担心、惊讶和恐惧都是不适的类型)是对上文的进一步解释,符合语境。故选E。

(5)题解析:
下文“If someone is copying your body language, it can be an unconscious sign that they’re feeling a connection with you.(如果有人模仿你的肢体语言,这可能是他们与你产生联系的无意识信号)”说明如果有人模仿你的肢体语言说明了什么问题,B项(模仿的肢体语言)作为小标题,概括了本段的主要内容,下文讲的是模仿的肢体语言可能代表的含义。故选B。

(25-26高二上·新疆巴楚县第二中学·期中)Cities need nature to stay healthy. 1 Known as the “lungs of a city”, they not only beautify urban areas but also provide environment health, social, and economic benefits. These spaces play a key role in improving the quality of life for city residents.
Urban parks protect the environment.
Trees absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, reducing air pollution. They also provide shade, which lowers temperatures during hot summers. For example, studies show parks can reduce the “heat island” effect caused by roads and buildings, cooling nearby areas by up to 7℃. 2
Parks improve public health.
They offer spaces for jogging, cycling, and other exercises, encouraging physical activity. Spending time in nature also reduces stress and improves mental health. Research shows people who visit parks regularly have lower risks of being overweight and heart disease. 3 They are vital for healthy living.
4
People from different backgrounds gather here to relax and connect. Children make friends on playgrounds, while cultural festivals in picnic areas unite neighbors. As experts say, “Parks break down social barriers and create shared joy.” These interactions build a sense of belonging in crowded cities.
Parks greatly benefit local economies.
Homes near parks often have higher values, attracting families and investors. 5 Parks also draw tourists, boosting income for hotels, and restaurants.
A. Clearly, parks are not just for fun.

(25-26高二上·新疆音郭楞蒙古自治州且末县第一中·期中)How to Forgive Someone
Forgiving someone who has done something wrong and hurt you can be difficult and painful. 1 While this is natural, holding on to your anger causes you to become more painful. For this reason, it is necessary to choose to forgive, not for the other person, but for yourself. The following suggestions will help you forgive someone.
Release your anger. Let go of all the negative feelings you have towards the other person. Allow yourself to cry, go into nature, and talk to someone you trust, or do whatever helps you release these bad feelings. 2
Give it time. Forgiveness does not come easily. 3 It is something that can be realized little by little every day.
4 Once you've had time to cool down and think things through, you may clearly explain to the other person, in a calm manner, how his actions have hurt you and how they have made you feel. This is very important, or you will bottle up feelings of anger towards the other person, making true forgiveness impossible.
Focus on the future. Once you have made the decision to forgive someone, you need to forget the past and focus on the future. 5 It might be just what your relationship needs.
A. Get angry at someone.
B. Tell the other person how you feel.
C. Your first reaction is probably to hold on to your anger.
D. It requires self-control, determination and, above all, time.
E. Look on the bright side of the future and make a fresh start.
F. If not, the bad feelings will cause you to become more painful.
G. It's unnecessary to rebuild a relationship with anyone or let him go.
【答案】1. C 2. F 3. D 4. B 5. E
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文中提出了四条原谅别人的建议。
(1)题解析:
根据后文While this is natural, holding on to your anger causes you to become more painful.可知虽然这是很自然的,但一直愤怒只会让你更加痛苦。由此可知,本句是在说明人们面对伤害自己的人的自然反应,第一反应肯定是对这些伤害自己的人感到很愤怒。故C选项“你的第一反应可能是克制住你的愤怒”符合语境,故选C。
(2)题解析:
根据上文Release your anger. Let go of all the negative feelings you have towards the other person. Allow yourself to cry, go into nature, and talk to someone you trust, or do whatever helps you release these bad feelings.可知释放你的愤怒。放下你对对方的所有负面情绪。允许自己哭,顺其自然,和你信任的人交谈,或者做任何能帮助你释放这些坏情绪的事情。由此可知,上文说明的是有信任的人可以交谈,有可以释放坏兴趣的事情,那么本句应当是说明当没有可倾诉的对象或释放情绪的事情时,坏的感觉会让你感觉更痛苦。上文中these bad feelings可对应F选项中the bad feelings。故F选项“如果没有,坏的感觉会让你变得更痛苦”符合语境,故选F。
(3)题解析:
根据上文Forgiveness does not come easily.可知原谅来之不易。由此可知,本句承接上文说明原谅来之不易的原因是原谅需要自我控制,决心,最重要的是时间。故D选项“它需要自我控制,决心,最重要的是时间”符合语境,故选D。
(4)题解析:
本句为本段中心句,根据后文Once you've had time to cool down and think things through, you may clearly explain to the other person, in a calm manner, how his actions have hurt you and how they have made you feel.可知一旦你有时间冷静下来,把事情想清楚,你就可以冷静地向对方解释他的行为是如何伤害了你,给你带来了怎样的感受。由此可知,本段主要是在说明要告诉对方你的感受。故B选项“告诉对方你的感受”符合语境,故选B。
(5)题解析:
根据上文Focus on the future. Once you have made the decision to forgive someone, you need to forget the past and focus on the future.可知关注未来。一旦你决定原谅某人,你需要忘记过去,关注未来。由此可知,本段主要说明的是关注未来,看到未来光明的一面,重新开始。故E选项“看未来光明的一面,重新开始”符合语境,故选E。

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·新疆克拉玛依独山子区第二中学·期中)How to Show Respect
Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate. Here are some easy ways to show respect in your life.
Listen to others.
Practice active listening to show you respect others. 1 Nod your head and ask follow-up questions to stay focused in the conversation. Even if you disagree, try to consider the point of view before responding.
Confirm (肯定) people’s opinions.
When you’re talking to someone, confirm their opinions in your own words. You can also mention their achievements to let them know you see how hard they’ve worked. You could say something like, “What you just said was really cool. 2 ” Or, “I can tell you’ve worked super hard to get your business off the ground.”
Apologize when you’re in the wrong.
It shows a great deal of maturity (成熟). If you mess up, a simple “I’m sorry” goes a long way. Try not to make excuses for yourself. 3 For example, if you forgot a deadline, you could say, “I’m really sorry. I’ll be setting reminders so this doesn’t happen again.”
4
Stick to your word. If you commit (承诺) to an event or make plans with someone, come through on your end of the deal. Being reliable shows respect for people’s time. Have your materials in order and complete all the necessary work ahead of time. 5 It can be tough at first, but it’s better to be honest.
A. Do what you say you’ll do.
B. Just say no if you can’t commit.
C. Wait to talk instead of merely listening.
D. I can tell you’ve thought a lot about this topic.
E. Watch and be quiet when someone else is talking.
F. Excuses are useless if you want to correct your mistakes.
G. It might also be helpful to have a plan to avoid such mistakes again.
【答案】1. E 2. D 3. G 4. A 5. B

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·新疆生产建设兵团第二中学·期中)It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. 1 Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life.
Redefine what patience actually means.
If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. 2 Let it happen without destroying your mood.
3
A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”. At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy,” — you stay focused on living your life. 4 They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first.
Slow down your life with your physical movements.
When everything is seemingly urgent or overwhelming, slowing down seems like the last thing you would want to do. But rushing around only makes you more annoyed, restless, and anxious. On the contrary, when you physically slow down, your brain tends to follow. Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. 5
A. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
B. Change your own attitude towards others.
C. In fact, it is something that you can work on.
D. It makes sense to control yourself and be patient.
E. Plus, when you are stuck in frustration, it is hard to consider others.
F. Patience is about learning to let go of the need to control everything.
G. That is how you begin to think more clearly and handle whatever is testing your patience.
【答案】1. C 2. F 3. A 4. E 5. G
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了三种让我们变得更耐心的方法。
(1)题解析:
上文“It is true that some folks are naturally more patient than others. But patience is not necessarily a born quality. (确实有些人天生比其他人更有耐心,但耐心不一定是与生俱来的品质)”否定了耐心是天生的,下文“Here are some tips on how to be more patient in your everyday life. (以下是一些在日常生活中更有耐心的建议)”给出培养耐心的方法。C选项“事实上,它是你可以努力培养的东西”承上启下,既衔接前文“非天生”的观点,又引出下文培养建议,符合语境。故选C。
(2)题解析:
上文“If your idea of patience looks like being endlessly agreeable, never getting annoyed, and staying calm through any inconvenience, no wonder you feel it is impossible to be patient. (如果你对耐心的看法是无休止地令人愉快,从不生气,在任何不便中保持冷静,难怪你觉得不可能有耐心)”指出错误的耐心认知,下文“Let it happen without destroying your mood. (任其发生,别破坏自己的心情)”强调不强行控制。F选项“耐心就是学会放下控制一切的需求”承接前文,纠正错误认知,又与后文“不控制”的做法呼应,符合语境。故选F。
(3)题解析:
下文“A big reason why we get so upset when life does not go our way is that we are holding onto a bunch of unspoken “shoulds”.(当生活不顺心时,我们如此沮丧的一个重要原因是我们坚持了一堆不言而喻的“应该”)”以及“So practice acceptance, and then build empathy (共情). Before losing your temper, try pausing to consider what else might be going on first.(所以,练习接受,然后建立同理心。在发脾气之前,试着停下来考虑一下可能发生的其他事情)”可知,本段核心是“考虑他人、共情”。A选项“设身处地为他人着想”概括了下文“共情、考虑他人”的主旨,适合作为段落标题,符合语境。故选A。
(4)题解析:
上文“At its core, impatience often comes from “main character energy,” — you stay focused on living your life. (不耐烦的核心往往来自“主角的能量”,即你专注于生活)”指出只关注自身的问题,下文“They may be dealing with their own delays, changes, and priorities too. (他们可能也在应对自己的拖延、变化和优先事项)”提及他人处境,E选项“此外,当你陷入沮丧时,很难考虑到别人”承接前文“只关注自身”的结果,又引出下文对他人处境的说明,符合语境。故选E。
(5)题解析:
上文“Even just taking more time to take a few deep breaths can do wonders in gradually building patience. (即使只是多花点时间深呼吸,也能在逐渐培养耐心中起到奇效)”说明慢动作(如深呼吸)对培养耐心的作用。G选项“这样你就能更清晰地思考,应对任何考验你耐心的事情”承接前文,解释了“深呼吸等慢动作”带来的具体效果,符合语境。故选G。
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·新疆维吾尔自治区巴楚县第一中·期中)Making good eye contact is a surprisingly difficult yet important part of good communication skills. If you want to improve your ability to look people in the eye, you can practice making eye contact on your own to give the right impression in conversations. 1
Try to relax as much as possible. The more you think about what you’re doing, the more awkward you’ll feel. Your nervousness can then be misinterpreted as dishonesty. 2 If you’re going into an important meeting or interview, do some breathing exercises. A few big, full, deep breaths can do a lot to calm you down.
3 It’s actually physically somewhat difficult to keep your eyes locked on both of another person’s eyes. It’s more common to focus on one, or on a spot on the face, rather than trying to look at both eyes at once. If it helps, try moving back and forth between the two eyes.
Break your gaze (凝视) to make other gestures while listening. 4 This looks natural as well as providing you with a needed break if necessary.
Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen. It’s one thing to look while you’re listening. 5 Don’t be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you’re talking.
A. Focus on one eye.
B. Practice other good listening skills.
C. So staying relaxed is of particular importance.
D. Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible.
E. Doing so can make you a better listener and a more effective speaker.
F. It’s good to break eye contact when you’re laughing, or to nod and smile.
G. But it’s more difficult to keep eye contact while you’re also trying to say something.
【答案】1. E 2. C 3. A 4. F 5. G
