People, including many experts, find it difficult to slow down the process. However, leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future, according to a new study. That is to say, a third of oil reserves on the earth, half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050. If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories, vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes. “Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible (矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal,” Dr. Christophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement. “If they go ahead with developing their own resources,” he added, “they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.” It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive. Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States, along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels, but according to the new model used in this latest study, developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future. “We’ve now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2-degree temperature limit,” added Mc Glade. World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart, because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon, climate change will cause irreversible (不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide, leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in. 1.According to Paragraph 1, our goal is to ________. A. discover more fossil fuels for the future generation B. slow down the climate change C. keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius D. refuse to use reserves on the earth 2.According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2.all countries should ________. A. make full use of their fossil fuels B. work together towards the 2-degree goal C. find better ways to dig out the coal D. increase the global carbon budget 3.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in ________. A. developing fossil fuels around the world B. getting people to rethink their fuel plans C. digging out the oil in the Middle East D. developing energy-related industry worldwide 4.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of temperature control? A. Confident. B. Unclear. C. Satisfied D. Negative. 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·天津和平双菱中学·期中）The Monet: The Immersive Experience, a captivating venture situated in the city of Liège, beckons enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the artistic realm of Claude Monet, a luminary of the French Impressionist movement and a paragon of nineteenth-century creativity.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant — telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thanks for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 1.When did they decide to go to see their professor? A. After the reunion. B. Before they graduated. C. During the get-together. D. Just after the professor retired. 2.Why did the professor offer them different cups? A. Because cups were not enough for everyone. B. Because cups were beautiful. C. Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. D. Because the professor wanted to teach them something. 3.What caused the professor to say those words? A. Their complaints. B. Their reunion. C. Their visit. D. Their graduation. 4.What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A. To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B. To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C. To use different cups to tell them they should try different things in life. D. To wish them to be grateful for their life and make the best of everything that they have. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·天津第二十中学·期中）People generally see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their work doing the talking, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect. The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for? It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. They are the compass (罗盘) that guides my life. The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments. From there, I can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context, learning from my mistakes with time and experience. It’s just a reminder that life is hard for all of us, while at the same time accepting that it’s important we are all also held accountable for our actions. I have learned that we are all deeply self-interested. I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games. That means I’m not competing with anyone for a shiny object; I’d rather compete with myself. It’s about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult (侮辱) for me to measure myself against someone else. I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games, then I can add value to others based on my unique knowledge and experience. If this resonates with (与……共鸣) you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world. It’s a wonderful mystery, and I think together we can better define it — not just personally, but also collectively. 1.According to the article, which of the following is TRUE? A. Achievements are the only thing that can help people see themselves. B. People may misunderstand that they can only earn respect through external markers. C. The author is someone who is keen on power games. D. Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly. 2.In the author’s opinion, what is a better way to judge a person? . A. To know about their educational diploma first. B. To see, recognize and understand them first. C. To talk with them first. D. To know what they have done first. 3.What does the underlined word“overshadow” probably mean? A. be relatively similar to. B. cause something to be stronger than. C. make something less important. D. block off light from something. 4.Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Life is hard, so we shouldn’t criticize others when they are not responsible. B. One should draw on wider knowledge in order to judge others objectively. C. Everyone is unique, so showing off uniqueness is an insult to others. D. One should see and understand another person using a real compass. 5.Why does the author write the article? A. To promote harmonious living. B. To ask people not to judge others. C. To call on readers to learn his values. D. To share his values of understanding and relating to the world. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·天津东丽一百中学·期中）Subscription (征订) Advertisements National Geographic Kids Magazine kids learn about wildlife, science, technology, popular culture, history, and much more besides!

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·天津小站第一中学-11月·期中）If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·天津和平第一中学·期中）It’s not uncommon for college students to graduate with regrets, wishing they had done this or hadn’t done that. We all have regrets in life. But luckily, some of those regrets can be passed on to others so that they can learn from them. Since my time at college isn’t quite over, I sit down with several college graduates to make a list of what I think students most commonly wish they had known during their time in college. When we get to college, our main focus is often on our Grade Point Average (GPA) and succeeding academically with As across the board. This is not a bad thing, especially if you plan to go further in your education than a bachelor’s degree. However, most college graduates have discovered that in the business world, once you graduate from college, your grades mean absolutely nothing. It doesn’t matter whether you got an A or a C. What’s really important is the skills you developed and what you can bring to a company. Your professors are not just there to give lectures and hand out papers; they are there to help you succeed. Just ask them for help if you have any question, because it’s their job. It may be frightening at first, but if you’re struggling in the course, you will overcome that fear and make great progress. Internships (实习) are your best assets (财富) in the professional world. The contacts you develop through professional development and networking opportunities are your gateways to good jobs out of college. Not only do they make your resume look great, but they also provide hands-on experience in your field. Talk to your counselors about internships in your field of interest, and they will help find the best one for you. Clubs, programs and campus activities provide lasting friendship and precious memories for you. There are more than just grades and an overloaded backpack in college. College is a great time to get a little crazy and live out of your comfort zone. So get involved, take risks and live life to the fullest. 1.What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Succeeding academically with As is important. B. Companies care about your achievements at college. C. Many college students attach little importance to grades. D. College students should focus on learning instead of grades. 2.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. To get over fear. B. To give lectures. C. To hand out papers. D. To ask professors for help. 3.What can we know about internships from Paragraph 4? A. Internships are more important than grades. B. Internships are necessary for college graduates. C. Internships can help you find your true interest. D. Internships can make you succeed in job interviews. 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Good ways to enjoy your campus life B. Activities college graduates should be involved in C. Things college graduates wish they had known D. Reasons why some college students graduate with regrets Passage 4 （25-26高一上·天津二十一中学·期中）A Guide to the University Food The TWU Cafeteria is open 7am to 8pm.

Here is our process: — Establish your parent contribution; — Factor in student employment and outside awards; — Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid. ● Outside Awards Like many of our students, you may receive funds from sources outside Harvard, such as secondary schools, your parental employers, etc. Since the intention of these awards is that they be used for educational purposes, you must report them to Harvard and apply them to your college expenses. We will consider your outside awards as a part of your overall financial aid funding. ● Student Employment If you receive financial aid from Harvard, you will likely be expected to contribute to your education through employment. Your expected term-time work expectation is often around 10 to 12 hours per week. All wages earned are paid directly to you and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses. ● Loans You are not expected to take out loans, since our aid packages are designed to cover your financial need without additional borrowing. However, you may choose to pursue loans to help cover your student or family contribution. If you are interested in a loan, we will help you find one that works for you.

But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier? In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them. But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers. To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing. But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves. 1.From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________. A. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver B. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind C. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes D. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient 2.What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance? A. The recipients; the givers. B. The givers; the recipients. C. The givers; the givers. D. The recipients; the recipients. 3.What does the author think is the significance of gift giving? A. Making the giver’s life happier. B. Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient. C. Establishing and strengthening social connections. D. Meeting the recipient’s practical needs. 4.Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving? A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself. B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts. C. Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most. D. Be careful not to signal your true personality. 5.Which is the best title of this passage? A. The tradition of gift giving. B. The purpose of gift giving. C. The effect of gift giving. D. The psychology of gift giving. 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·天津和平耀华中学·期中）Should we focus on our goal, or on the process? What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Focusing on everything that would give her another chance, she quickly let go of what happened in the 800m race and got back to her routine. A week later, she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process. Generally, overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. We see this happen in the real world all the time: someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring, and, in the worst case, he’ll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition. These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals. Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting” — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight. However, focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the ultimate outcome. It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts. For Martinez, this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800m race, but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition, sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500m race. Therefore, after you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal, and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process. 1.With a question at the beginning of the passage, the author intends to ______. A. enhance the persuasion B. persuade readers to accept his views C. provide convincing evidence D. inspire readers to reflect on the topic 2.Brenda Martinez’s example shows that ______ . A. it is important to set big goals B. failure is the mother of success C. focusing on the process can lead to success D. opportunity favors the prepared mind 3.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4? A. Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects. B. Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race. C. In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior. D. It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal. 4.According to the author, what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process? A. Avoiding failure during the process. B. Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets. C. Reducing some unpredictable risk. D. Ensuring enough sleep and good mood. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·天津滨海新区塘沽第一中学·期中）Welcome to UCLA Exchange Program! Let’s get started by checking out Student Guide for your academic journey! Signing up for ESL (English as a Second Language) ESL courses are designed to help international students improve academic English language skills. Enrollment (课程注册) priority is given to degree students. If space is available, you may enroll. You will then be asked to take an ESL Placement Test. The test results will help you choose the class that is appropriate for you. Changing Your Course Enrollment List You may change your class schedule during the first two weeks of the term by adding or dropping courses from your enrollment list. After the second week of classes, there will be a charge for each schedule change.

For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”. By conviction(信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old concepts was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But what made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too. 1.It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag . A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film and arts C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture 2.She first won her name through . A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review B. her story of a Polish actress C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings D. her book Illness as Metaphor 3.From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that . A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist B. she was more of a sensualist than a moralist C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness D. She would like to re-examine old positions 4.According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except . A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C. ‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals’. D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness. 5.What is the passage mainly about? A. A lifelong motto: seriousness. B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture. C. How Susan Sontag became famous. D.

People, including many experts, find it difficult to slow down the process. However, leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future, according to a new study. That is to say, a third of oil reserves on the earth, half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050. If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories, vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes. “Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible (矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal,” Dr. Christophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement. “If they go ahead with developing their own resources,” he added, “they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.” It’s not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive. Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States, along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels, but according to the new model used in this latest study, developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future. “We’ve now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2-degree temperature limit,” added Mc Glade. World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart, because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon, climate change will cause irreversible (不可逆转的) impacts on environments worldwide, leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in. 1.According to Paragraph 1, our goal is to ________. A. discover more fossil fuels for the future generation B. slow down the climate change C. keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius D. refuse to use reserves on the earth 2.According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2.all countries should ________. A. make full use of their fossil fuels B. work together towards the 2-degree goal C. find better ways to dig out the coal D. increase the global carbon budget 3.We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in ________. A. developing fossil fuels around the world B. getting people to rethink their fuel plans C. digging out the oil in the Middle East D. developing energy-related industry worldwide 4.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of temperature control? A. Confident. B. Unclear. C. Satisfied D. Negative. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕全球气候变化和化石燃料使用的问题展开讨论，提出了限制化石燃料开采和使用以控制全球温度上升的观点。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories, vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.(如果我们要防止全球气温在不久的将来上升超过2摄氏度，我们应该采取一些措施来严格控制工厂车辆甚至我们日常生活中的烹饪的排放。然而，在我们看来，这是一个似乎不可能实现的目标。)”可知，我们的目标是把温度上升控制在2摄氏度以下。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段““Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible (矛盾的) with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal,” Dr. Christophe Mc Glade at University College London’s Energy Institute said in a statement. “If they go ahead with developing their own resources,” he added, “they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit.”(伦敦大学学院能源研究所的Christophe Mc Glade博士在一份声明中说：“不同国家的政策制定者必须意识到，他们在国内完全使用化石燃料的尝试与他们实现2摄氏度目标的希望是完全不相容的。如果他们继续开发自己的资源，”他补充说，“必须问他们，其他地方的哪些储量应该保留下来，以使碳预算不超过限制。”)”可推知，根据Mc Glade说的，所有国家都应该共同努力实现2摄氏度的目标。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“There are many coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States, along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels, but according to the new model used in this latest study, developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future.(中国、俄罗斯和美国有大量的煤炭储量，中东地区有超过2600亿桶的石油储量。更不用说目前正在北极开发的石油了。去年，公司在化石燃料的开发上花费了超过6700亿美元，但根据这项最新研究中使用的新模型，开发商可能需要重新考虑他们开发这些地下资源的计划，以便为控制未来的全球气温上升做出一些贡献。)”可推知，世界各地在开发化石燃料方面做出了巨大的努力。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily-life cooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.(如果我们要防止全球气温在不久的将来上升超过2摄氏度，我们应该采取一些措施来严格控制工厂车辆甚至我们日常生活中的烹饪的排放。然而，在我们看来，这是一个似乎不可能实现的目标。)”可知，作者认为这是一个似乎不可能实现的目标，所以是消极的。故选D项。 主题语境02 人与社会-文学、艺术与体育 （25-26高一上·天津和平双菱中学·期中）The Monet: The Immersive Experience, a captivating venture situated in the city of Liège, beckons enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the artistic realm of Claude Monet, a luminary of the French Impressionist movement and a paragon of nineteenth-century creativity.

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant — telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thanks for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 1.When did they decide to go to see their professor? A. After the reunion. B. Before they graduated. C. During the get-together. D. Just after the professor retired. 2.Why did the professor offer them different cups? A. Because cups were not enough for everyone. B. Because cups were beautiful. C. Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. D. Because the professor wanted to teach them something. 3.What caused the professor to say those words? A. Their complaints. B. Their reunion. C. Their visit. D. Their graduation. 4.What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A. To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B. To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C. To use different cups to tell them they should try different things in life. D. To wish them to be grateful for their life and make the best of everything that they have. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过一群毕业生拜访退休教授并讨论工作和生活中的压力这一情境，引出教授对生活和幸福的理解与看法。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to visit their old university professor, now retired.(一群事业有成的毕业生在同学聚会上聊天，决定去看望他们已经退休的大学老教授)”可知，他们是在聚会期间决定去看望教授的。故选C。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章第二段提到教授给客人们提供了不同种类的杯子，包括瓷杯、玻璃杯、水晶杯等，然后在第三段通过他们选择杯子的行为引出了一个深刻的道理，即人们往往只关注外在的物质和地位，而忽视了生活的本质。由此推知，教授给他们提供不同的杯子是为了教他们一些东西。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.(在拜访期间，谈话转到了对工作和生活压力的抱怨上)”以及第三段讲述的教授通过提供不同种类的杯子并观察他们的选择，引出了一个深刻的道理，即人们往往只关注外在的物质和地位，而忽视了生活的本质。由此可知，是毕业生们的抱怨引发了教授的这些言论。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thanks for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!(最幸福的人并不是拥有一切最好的东西。他们只是充分利用自己所拥有的一切。生活简朴。慷慨去爱。深切关怀。言语和善。感谢你们在2024年的祝福。在2025年享受你的热巧克力吧！)”可推知，教授的话的目的是祝愿他们感激自己的生活，并充分利用他们所拥有的一切。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·天津第二十中学·期中）People generally see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their work doing the talking, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect. The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned. Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for? It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. They are the compass (罗盘) that guides my life. The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments. From there, I can learn to treat others appropriately, depending on the context, learning from my mistakes with time and experience. It’s just a reminder that life is hard for all of us, while at the same time accepting that it’s important we are all also held accountable for our actions. I have learned that we are all deeply self-interested. I hope to be self-aware enough to check out of the power and status games. That means I’m not competing with anyone for a shiny object; I’d rather compete with myself. It’s about becoming so uniquely different that it would be an insult (侮辱) for me to measure myself against someone else. I believe if I do the work to be internally free from the pull of the power and status games, then I can add value to others based on my unique knowledge and experience. If this resonates with (与……共鸣) you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world. It’s a wonderful mystery, and I think together we can better define it — not just personally, but also collectively. 1.According to the article, which of the following is TRUE? A. Achievements are the only thing that can help people see themselves. B. People may misunderstand that they can only earn respect through external markers. C. The author is someone who is keen on power games. D. Learning from mistakes is the first step of treating others kindly. 2.In the author’s opinion, what is a better way to judge a person? . A. To know about their educational diploma first. B. To see, recognize and understand them first. C. To talk with them first. D. To know what they have done first. 3.What does the underlined word“overshadow” probably mean? A. be relatively similar to. B. cause something to be stronger than. C. make something less important. D. block off light from something. 4.Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Life is hard, so we shouldn’t criticize others when they are not responsible. B. One should draw on wider knowledge in order to judge others objectively. C. Everyone is unique, so showing off uniqueness is an insult to others. D. One should see and understand another person using a real compass. 5.Why does the author write the article? A. To promote harmonious living. B. To ask people not to judge others. C. To call on readers to learn his values. D. To share his values of understanding and relating to the world. 【答案】1. B　2. B　3. C　4. B　5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章作者通过阐述人们通常如何通过成就来认识自己，并指出这种做法的问题，进而提出了自己对于如何更好地了解一个人的观点。同时，作者还分享了自己的价值观，并邀请读者加入自己，一起探索和理解这个复杂的世界。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“People generally see themselves through achievements. In doing that, they end up caring more about their image than the reality of who they actually are. Rather than their work doing the talking, they end up defining themselves by external markers that they hope will earn them respect.(人们通常通过成就来认识自己。在这样做的过程中，他们最终会更加关心自己的形象，而不是自己真正的模样。他们不再让工作成果来说明一切，而是用他们希望能赢得尊重的外部标志来定义自己)”可知，人们可能会错误地认为通过外部标志（如成就、地位等）来赢得尊重。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments.(我能做的最善良、最真诚的事情就是在做出判断之前，先去看清、认识和理解另一个人)”可知，作者认为判断一个人的更好方式，即首先去看清、认识和理解他们。故选B。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在段“The problem with this is that it encourages both themselves and other people to judge their worth based on some relatively unimportant measure. For example, one day, their educational diploma may overshadow what they actually learned.(这种做法的问题是，它鼓励自己和他人用一些相对不重要的标准来衡量自己的价值。例如，有一天，他们的学历可能会______他们真正学到的东西)”可推测，划线单词的意思应该是一个动词，表示学历可能会掩盖或使真正学到的东西变得不那么重要。因此，划线单词的意思与“掩盖”或“使……变得不那么重要”相近。选项C“make something less important(使某物变得不那么重要)”与此相符。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Therefore, a better way to know a person, I think, is to ask a different set of questions: What motivates them? What makes them ache? What do they long for?(因此，我认为，要了解一个人，更好的方法是问一系列不同的问题：是什么激励着他们？是什么让他们痛苦？他们又渴望什么？)”以及第三段“The kindest and most sincere thing I can do is to see, recognize, and understand another person before I make judgments.(我能做的最善良、最真诚的事情就是在做出判断之前，先去看清、认识和理解另一个人。)”可推测，作者强调了在判断他人之前要先看清、认识和理解他们，这暗示了为了做出更准确的判断，需要更深入、更全面的了解。故选B。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s in this spirit that I want to publicly share my values. (正是本着这种精神，我想公开分享我的价值观)”以及最后一段中“If this resonates with (与……共鸣) you, I invite you to join me on this journey in understanding and relating to this complex world.(如果这与你产生共鸣，我邀请你加入我理解和联系这个复杂世界的旅程)”并结合全文内容可推知，文章作者通过分享自己如何从一个以成就为自我定义的人转变为一个更注重内在成长和理解他人的人，来分享他理解和与世界相关的价值观。他邀请读者加入他，一起探索这个复杂的世界，这表明文章的主要目的是分享他的价值观。故选D。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·天津东丽一百中学·期中）Subscription (征订) Advertisements National Geographic Kids Magazine kids learn about wildlife, science, technology, popular culture, history, and much more besides!

There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar(不熟悉) words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day. 1.According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills? A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening. 2.To improve your reading, when you read you should ______. A. look up all the new words in the dictionary B. think about what you are reading actively C. spend more time studying grammars D. copy as many words and sentences as possible 3.The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “______”. A. hear B. discover C. meet by accident D. look for 4.The passage is mainly about how to ______. A. choose suitable listening materials B. deal with new words in reading C. become fluent in speaking and writing English D. improve your reading ability as quickly as possible 5.The author seems to agree with the view that____. A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B. you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day. C. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing. D. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. C　5. D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.”可知，四项技巧中，应该首先改进阅读和听力，故A项正确。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc.”可知，阅读时要积极思考所读的内容，故B项正确。 (3)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子及画线词后的“but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them”可知，不要费力去理解你遇到的不熟悉的单词，只要你以后再遇到它们的时候认出它们就好了，由此可知画线词词义为“偶然遇到”，故C项正确。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing.”可知，本文主要介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议，故C项正确。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening.”可知，擅长阅读有利于提高听力技巧，故D项正确。 【点睛】方法策略类阅读理解的文体特点决定了其主题句往往在文章的第一句，考生们应充分利用这一特点，抓住文章主题句，例如本篇第4题，文章第一段中的“If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing.”可知，本文主要介绍了如何提高英语听说读写能力的几点建议。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·天津和平第一中学·期中）It’s not uncommon for college students to graduate with regrets, wishing they had done this or hadn’t done that. We all have regrets in life. But luckily, some of those regrets can be passed on to others so that they can learn from them. Since my time at college isn’t quite over, I sit down with several college graduates to make a list of what I think students most commonly wish they had known during their time in college. When we get to college, our main focus is often on our Grade Point Average (GPA) and succeeding academically with As across the board. This is not a bad thing, especially if you plan to go further in your education than a bachelor’s degree. However, most college graduates have discovered that in the business world, once you graduate from college, your grades mean absolutely nothing. It doesn’t matter whether you got an A or a C. What’s really important is the skills you developed and what you can bring to a company. Your professors are not just there to give lectures and hand out papers; they are there to help you succeed. Just ask them for help if you have any question, because it’s their job. It may be frightening at first, but if you’re struggling in the course, you will overcome that fear and make great progress. Internships (实习) are your best assets (财富) in the professional world. The contacts you develop through professional development and networking opportunities are your gateways to good jobs out of college. Not only do they make your resume look great, but they also provide hands-on experience in your field. Talk to your counselors about internships in your field of interest, and they will help find the best one for you. Clubs, programs and campus activities provide lasting friendship and precious memories for you. There are more than just grades and an overloaded backpack in college. College is a great time to get a little crazy and live out of your comfort zone. So get involved, take risks and live life to the fullest. 1.What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 2? A. Succeeding academically with As is important. B. Companies care about your achievements at college. C. Many college students attach little importance to grades. D. College students should focus on learning instead of grades. 2.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. To get over fear. B. To give lectures. C. To hand out papers. D. To ask professors for help. 3.What can we know about internships from Paragraph 4? A. Internships are more important than grades. B. Internships are necessary for college graduates. C. Internships can help you find your true interest. D. Internships can make you succeed in job interviews. 4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Good ways to enjoy your campus life B. Activities college graduates should be involved in C. Things college graduates wish they had known D. Reasons why some college students graduate with regrets 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了大学生在大学期间应该关注的一些方面。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第二段“When we get to college, our main focus is often on our Grade Point Average(GPA) and succeeding academically with As across the board. This is not a bad thing, especially if you plan to go further in your education than a bachelor’s degree. However, most college graduates have discovered that in the business world, once you graduate from college, your grades mean absolutely nothing. It doesn’t matter whether you got an A or a C. What’s really important is the skills you developed and what you can bring to a company.(当我们上大学时，我们的主要关注点往往是我们的平均绩点（GPA）和在学业上取得全优的成绩。这并不是一件坏事，特别是如果你打算继续深造，攻读学士学位以上的学位。然而，大多数大学毕业生发现，在商业世界里，一旦你从大学毕业，你的成绩就毫无意义了。不管你得了A还是C。真正重要的是你培养的技能以及你能为公司带来什么)”可知，作者在第二段想告诉我们大学生应该关注学习而不是成绩。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Your professors are not just there to give lectures and hand out papers; they are there to help you succeed. Just ask them for help if you have any question, because it’s their job.(你的教授不仅仅是在那里讲课和分发论文；他们也在那里帮助你成功。如果你有任何问题，就向他们寻求帮助，因为这是他们的工作)”以及“It may be frightening at first, but if you’ re struggling in the course, you will overcome that fear and make great progress.(刚开始可能会很害怕，但如果你在这门课上很吃力，你会克服这种恐惧，取得很大的进步)”可知，It指的是“向教授寻求帮助”。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Internships (实习) are your best assets (财富) in the professional world. The contacts you develop through professional development and networking opportunities are your gateways to good jobs out of college. Not only do they make your resume look great, but they also provide hands-on experience in your field.(实习是你在职场中最好的财富。通过职业发展和社交机会建立的联系是你大学毕业后找到好工作的途径。它们不仅能让你的简历看起来很棒，还能让你在自己的领域获得实践经验)”可知，实习对大学毕业生来说是必要的。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s not uncommon for college students to graduate with regrets, wishing they had done this or hadn’t done that. We all have regrets in life. But luckily, some of those regrets can be passed on to others so that they can learn from them. Since my time at college isn’t quite over, I sit down with several college graduates to make a list of what I think students most commonly wish they had known during their time in college.(大学生毕业时带着遗憾并不罕见，他们希望自己当时做了这个或没有做那个。我们生活中都有遗憾。但幸运的是，其中一些遗憾可以传递给其他人，让他们从中吸取教训。由于我在大学的时间还没有完全结束，我和几位大学毕业生坐下来，列出了一份我认为学生们在大学期间最希望自己知道的事情的清单)”结合全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了大学生在大学期间应该关注的一些方面，包括学业成绩、向教授寻求帮助、实习以及参与校园活动等，旨在帮助大学生更好地度过大学时光，避免毕业后的遗憾。由此可知，C选项“大学毕业生希望他们早知道的事情”最符合文章标题。故选C项。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·天津二十一中学·期中）A Guide to the University Food The TWU Cafeteria is open 7am to 8pm.

Here is our process: — Establish your parent contribution; — Factor in student employment and outside awards; — Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid. ● Outside Awards Like many of our students, you may receive funds from sources outside Harvard, such as secondary schools, your parental employers, etc. Since the intention of these awards is that they be used for educational purposes, you must report them to Harvard and apply them to your college expenses. We will consider your outside awards as a part of your overall financial aid funding. ● Student Employment If you receive financial aid from Harvard, you will likely be expected to contribute to your education through employment. Your expected term-time work expectation is often around 10 to 12 hours per week. All wages earned are paid directly to you and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses. ● Loans You are not expected to take out loans, since our aid packages are designed to cover your financial need without additional borrowing. However, you may choose to pursue loans to help cover your student or family contribution. If you are interested in a loan, we will help you find one that works for you.

Most of the line is over 4,000 meters.(这是世界上最长的高海拔火车之旅，被称为“通往天空的道路”。大部分线路都超过4000米)”可知，西宁至拉萨铁路被称为“通往天空的道路”是因为大部分线路超过4000米。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Chengdu to Kunming部分“Price: 487.5 yuan for a second class(二等座票价487.5元) ”可知，一个人是487.5元，夫妻二人总费用为487.5×2=975元。因此格林先生和他的妻子计划从成都到昆明的火车旅行时，他们的二等票应该付975元。故选B。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Chengdu to Kunming部分“This line is called Geological Museum (地质博物馆) because of the special geography along the railway line.(由于铁路沿线的特殊地貌，这条线路被称为地质博物馆)”可知，成昆铁路沿线地貌特殊。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据Lhasa to Rikaze部分“It makes Tibet travel easier for travellers, especially those who want to see Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.(这使得游客在西藏旅行更加方便，尤其是那些想要看到世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰的游客)”可知，从拉萨到日喀则的铁路使旅行者更容易看到珠穆朗玛峰。故选A。 (5)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“The three most wonderful train journeys provide the natural beauty of our motherland.(三条最精彩的火车之旅展现了我们祖国的自然美景)”可知，这三条铁路线带我们去欣赏祖国的美丽。故选C。 主题语境01 人与社会-社会服务与人际沟通 （25-26高一上·天津经济技术开发区第一中学·期中）For as long as there have been gifts, we naturally make choices based on the recipient (接受者). But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the recipient happier? In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipient’s personality and tastes. Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them. But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers. To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers. Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be—then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipient’s practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character—and failing. But a note of caution here: what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” —and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves. 1.From the Mother’s Day card test, we can conclude that ________. A. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver B. most people choose gifts with the recipient in mind C. most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes D. gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the recipient 2.What do the underlined words “them, them” refer to in order of appearance? A. The recipients; the givers. B. The givers; the recipients. C. The givers; the givers. D. The recipients; the recipients. 3.What does the author think is the significance of gift giving? A. Making the giver’s life happier. B. Showing one’s knowledge of the recipient. C. Establishing and strengthening social connections. D. Meeting the recipient’s practical needs. 4.Which of the following is Human and Aknin’s advice on gift giving? A. Choose gifts that reflect more of yourself. B. Just focus on your own tastes when choosing gifts. C. Buy something that fits the recipient’s character most. D. Be careful not to signal your true personality. 5.Which is the best title of this passage? A. The tradition of gift giving. B. The purpose of gift giving. C. The effect of gift giving. D. The psychology of gift giving. 【答案】1. A　2. B　3. C　4. A　5. D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家通过实验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人在情感上与收礼人更亲近，因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.”可知，带着自己的想法给母亲选礼物的人说自己在情感上与母亲更亲近了，由此可知，带着自己的想法选择礼物会对送礼人很有效，故A项正确。 (2)题解析： 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“Each half of the group received the same instructions as the card buyers.”可知，小组的每一半人都得到了与给母亲买贺卡的人的相同的指示，即一半人带着自己的想法给母亲选贺卡，另一半人则在选贺卡时考虑到母亲，结果显示带着自己的想法给母亲选礼物的人说自己在情感上与母亲更亲近了，由此可知，此处是说与那些只考虑收礼人的人相比，那些听了能够透露出送礼人某些信息的人感觉与送礼人更亲近了，所以第一个them指代的是送礼人，第二个them指代的是收礼人，故B项正确。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的) goal” of a gift and surely it should be”可知，如果建立更强大的社会关系是送礼的潜在目标，那么它当然是，由此可知，作者认为送礼的意义在于建立和加强社会联系，故C项正确。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”可知，Human 和Aknin建议选择礼物时应该选择更能反映你自己的礼物，故A项正确。 (5)题解析： 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了科学家通过实验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人说在情感上与收礼人更亲近，因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物，全文都是围绕“送礼与送礼时的心理”展开，由此可知D项（送礼的心理）最能概括出文章内容。 【点睛】本篇第5题主旨大意题难度较大，对实验结果的理解是关键，根据第三、四段对试验的介绍可知，科学家通过对人们买母亲节贺卡和让学生们在iTunes上给朋友或家人选择歌曲的两个试验发现带着自己的想法给别人选礼物的人在情感上与收礼人更亲近，因此送礼时应选择更能反映送礼人的礼物，全文都是围绕“送礼与送礼时的心理”而展开，由此可知D项（送礼的心理）最能概括出文章内容。 主题语境02 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高一上·天津和平耀华中学·期中）Should we focus on our goal, or on the process? What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Focusing on everything that would give her another chance, she quickly let go of what happened in the 800m race and got back to her routine. A week later, she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process. Generally, overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. We see this happen in the real world all the time: someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring, and, in the worst case, he’ll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition. These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals. Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting” — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight. However, focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the ultimate outcome. It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts. For Martinez, this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800m race, but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition, sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500m race. Therefore, after you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal, and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process. 1.With a question at the beginning of the passage, the author intends to ______. A. enhance the persuasion B. persuade readers to accept his views C. provide convincing evidence D. inspire readers to reflect on the topic 2.Brenda Martinez’s example shows that ______ . A. it is important to set big goals B. failure is the mother of success C. focusing on the process can lead to success D. opportunity favors the prepared mind 3.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4? A. Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects. B. Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race. C. In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior. D. It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal. 4.According to the author, what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process? A. Avoiding failure during the process. B. Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets. C. Reducing some unpredictable risk. D. Ensuring enough sleep and good mood. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4.

For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everything—to read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American culture life, trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag walked at the latest edges of world culture. Seriousness was one of Sontag’s lifelong mottos, but at a time when the barriers between the well-educated and the poorly-educated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasure of pop culture. In Notes Camp, the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a little-known set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. Notes on Camp, she wrote, represents “a victory of ‘form’ over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ over ‘morals’”. By conviction(信念) she was a sensualist(感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist, and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphor—published in 1978, after she suffered cancer—she argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed (被压抑的) personalities, a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, re-examining old concepts was her lifelong habit. In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California, won the National Book Award in 2000. But what made her achieve lasting fame was a tireless, all-purpose cultural view. “Sometimes,” she once said, “I feel that, in the end, all I am really defending… is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness.” And in the end, she made us take it seriously too. 1.It is implied but not stated in the first paragraph that Sontag . A. was a symbol of American cultural life B. developed world literature, film and arts C. published many essays about world culture D. kept pace with the newest development of world culture 2.She first won her name through . A. publishing essays in magazines like Partisan Review B. her story of a Polish actress C. her explanation of a set of difficult understandings D. her book Illness as Metaphor 3.From the works Susan published in the 1970s and 1980s, we can learn that . A. she was more of a moralist than a sensualist B. she was more of a sensualist than a moralist C. she believed repressed personalities mainly led to illness D. She would like to re-examine old positions 4.According to the passage, Susan Sontag would agree to the ideas except . A. We should try hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. B. Cancer can be defeated because it is a special problem of repressed personalities. C. ‘Form’ should be over ‘content’, ‘beauty’ should be over ‘morals’. D. We should defend the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness. 5.What is the passage mainly about? A. A lifelong motto: seriousness. B. Susan Sontag is the symbol of American culture. C. How Susan Sontag became famous. D. An introduction to Susan Sontag and her motto. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3. A　4. B　5.
