Strong reading skills build confidence, improve knowledge, and open the door to academic success. It is the thread that ties all learning together. 1 Reading doesn’t just prepare students for tests and assignments. 2 When children read, they’re not just learning words — they’re building cognitive (认知的) skills that help them analyze, problem-solve, and imagine new possibilities. 3 The more children read, the more they’re exposed to new words and ways of expressing ideas. This not only helps them express their thoughts clearly but also improves their confidence in writing and speaking. They also become better listeners and speakers. Furthermore, reading helps develop empathy (同理心). When you read, you can find yourself thinking about the characters in a book as if they are real people, with viewpoints possibly very different from your own. 4 This means children can practice feeling certain emotions and learn to imagine what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes. Finally, reading is a great way to reduce stress. When you read, you take your attention away from the problems of the day. 5 Reading a book is often more effective at reducing stress than listening to music or even taking a walk. A. This helps you relax and lower your heart rate. B. This allows for the growth of emotional intelligence. C. Therefore, students should only read non-fiction books. D. It also shapes how they think and interact with the world. E. All students are required to read for 20 minutes every day. F. An early love of reading can shape a child’s entire educational journey. G. Reading also builds a richer vocabulary and stronger communication skills. 【答案】1. F 2. D 3. G 4. B 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。短文讨论了阅读为何重要。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Reading is more than a classroom activity — it unlocks a world of possibilities for students. Strong reading skills build confidence, improve knowledge, and open the door to academic success. It is the thread that ties all learning together. (阅读不仅仅是一项课堂活动——它为学生开启了一个充满可能性的世界。强大的阅读技能能建立自信、增长知识，并为学业成功打开大门。它是串联所有学习的纽带。)”可知，前文集中论述了阅读对学生的核心价值（学业、自信、知识），此空应承接上文，进一步强调阅读对学生长远发展的影响。F选项“An early love of reading can shape a child’s entire educational journey. (早期对阅读的热爱能塑造孩子的整个教育历程。)”中的“shape a child’s entire educational journey”呼应前文“the thread that ties all learning together”，将阅读的影响从“即时益处”延伸到“长期教育历程”，深化了“阅读至关重要”的主题，符合语境。故选F项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Reading doesn’t just prepare students for tests and assignments. (阅读不仅仅是为学生准备考试和作业。)”可知，前文用“doesn’t just”引出阅读的表层作用，此空应通过“also”等逻辑词，拓展阅读的深层价值。D选项“It also shapes how they think and interact with the world. (它还塑造了他们思考和与世界互动的方式。)”中的“also”与上文“doesn’t just”形成递进关系，“shapes how they think and interact with the world”对应下文“building cognitive skills that help them analyze, problem-solve, and imagine new possibilities (培养有助于分析、解决问题和想象新可能的认知技能)”，明确了阅读对认知与世界观的塑造作用，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据下文“The more children read, the more they’re exposed to new words and ways of expressing ideas. This not only helps them express their thoughts clearly but also improves their confidence in writing and speaking. They also become better listeners and speakers. (孩子们读得越多，接触到的新词汇和表达想法的方式就越多。这不仅有助于他们清晰地表达自己的想法，还能提高他们在写作和口语方面的自信。他们也会成为更好的倾听者和表达者。)”可知，本段核心围绕“阅读对词汇积累和沟通技能的提升”展开。G选项“Reading also builds a richer vocabulary and stronger communication skills. (阅读还能积累更丰富的词汇，培养更强的沟通技能。)”作为本段主旨句，精准概括了下文内容，“richer vocabulary”对应“exposed to new words”，“stronger communication skills”对应“express their thoughts clearly、confidence in writing and speaking、better listeners and speakers”，符合小标题式的段落结构要求。故选G项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Furthermore, reading helps develop empathy (同理心). When you read, you can find yourself thinking about the characters in a book as if they are real people, with viewpoints possibly very different from your own. (此外，阅读有助于培养同理心。当你阅读时，你会发现自己把书中的人物当作真实的人来思考，他们的观点可能与你自己的大相径庭。)”可知，前文介绍了阅读培养同理心的机制，此空应进一步说明这种同理心培养带来的结果。B选项“This allows for the growth of emotional intelligence. (这有助于情商的发展。)”中的“This”指代上文“thinking about the characters... with viewpoints different from your own”的阅读行为，“growth of emotional intelligence”是“培养同理心”的直接延伸——理解他人观点、感受他人情绪本质上是情商提升的体现，与下文“practice feeling certain emotions and learn to imagine what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes (练习感受特定情绪，学会换位思考)”形成逻辑呼应，符合语境。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Finally, reading is a great way to reduce stress. When you read, you take your attention away from the problems of the day. (最后，阅读是缓解压力的好方法。当你阅读时，你会把注意力从当天的问题上移开。)”可知，前文提出“阅读减压”的观点并解释了核心机制（转移注意力），此空应承接该逻辑，说明转移注意力后的具体效果。A选项“This helps you relax and lower your heart rate. (这有助于你放松并降低心率。)”中的“This”指代“take your attention away from the problems of the day”，“relax and lower your heart rate”是“减压”的具体生理与心理表现，与下文“Reading a book is often more effective at reducing stress than listening to music or even taking a walk (读书通常比听音乐甚至散步更能有效减压)”形成呼应，进一步强化了“阅读减压”的观点，符合语境。故选A项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·贵州镇宁民族中学·期中）Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 1 . Here is how to make one. • 2 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make. • Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 3 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. • Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 4 . • Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 5 If not, take another look at other methods you could try. A. Get a sleep specialist. B. Find the right motivation. C. A better plan for sleep can help. D. And consider setting a second alarm. E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up. F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day. G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. G 4. F 5. E 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何帮助人们制定一个计划去调节生物钟，确保起床不再是一件令人头疼的事。 (1)题解析： 上文“In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock(事实上，早晨轻松起床的关键在于让你的生物钟休息。)”指出让你的生物钟休息，能帮你早晨轻松起床，空处应该承接上文，指出怎样能让你的生物钟休息，从而实现早上轻松起床，C项“A better plan for sleep can help.(一个更好的睡眠计划会有所帮助。)”符合，引起下文，下文“Here is how to make one.(以下是制作一个睡眠计划的方法。)”中的one代指选项提到的“A better plan”，故选C。 (2)题解析： 分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。 (3)题解析： 下文“That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.(如果你买一个带定时器的咖啡机，你可以多睡一刻钟。)”指出，作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，这样就能节约15分钟喝咖啡的时间，让你多睡15分钟，由此可知，空处应该引起下文，指出你在咖啡馆排队会浪费15分钟时间，所以作者建议买一个带定时器的咖啡机，G项“Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.(重新考虑一下你在咖啡馆排队买咖啡的15分钟。)”符合，其中“the 15 minutes”呼应下文的“a quarter-hour”，故选G。 (4)题解析： 根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。 (5)题解析： 上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·贵州镇宁民族中学·期中）How to Learn High School English Well High school English is a key subject that connects junior high knowledge and college requirements. It not only helps you get good grades but also improves your ability to communicate and understand the world. However, many students find it hard to keep up with high school English. 1 Build a solid vocabulary. Vocabulary is the foundation of English learning. You can’t understand reading materials or write good articles without enough words. Set a daily goal, like learning 10 new words every day. 2 For example, you can use new words in sentences or write short paragraphs — this makes memorization more effective. 3 High school English classes often cover difficult grammar and deep text analysis. Listen carefully when the teacher explains key points. If you miss something important, ask your teacher or classmates. Don’t let doubts pile up; solving them in time keeps you on track. Keep practicing reading and writing. Read short English passages (such as news stories or essay excerpts) every day. After reading, try to retell the main idea in your own words. For writing, start with short diaries or topic paragraphs. 4 Over time, you’ll find your reading speed and writing skills improving. Organize a mistake notebook. Everyone makes mistakes in English — whether it’s a grammar error or a wrong sentence structure. Write down these mistakes in a notebook, along with the correct answers and reasons. 5 Review this notebook once a week, and you’ll avoid making the same mistakes again. A. Using new words in real situations helps you remember them longer. B. Focusing on grammar exercises can also make you better at English. C. Here are some practical suggestions to help you learn it well. D. Make good use of class time. E. Spending half an hour every night on English homework is the best way. F. This helps you find out your weak points and fail better next time. G. Writing regularly makes you use English more freely. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. G 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章从词汇、课堂、读写、纠错四方面给出高中英语学习建议。 (1)题解析： 前文“However, many students find it hard to keep up with high school English. (然而，许多学生发现很难跟上高中英语)”提到学生觉得高中英语难的问题，后面的段落列举具体学习方法，因此C项“Here are some practical suggestions to help you learn it well. (这里有一些实用建议帮助你学好它)”符合语境，承前启后，符合“提出问题”到“给出建议”的逻辑结构，其中的it指代前文的high school English。故选C。 (2)题解析： 前文“Set a daily goal, like learning 10 new words every day. (每天设定一个目标，比如每天学习10个新单词)”建议设定每日词汇目标，后文“For example, you can use new words in sentences or write short paragraphs — this makes memorization more effective. (例如，你可以在句子中使用新单词或写简短的段落——这使记忆更有效)”介绍巩固单词记忆的具体方法，因此A项“Using new words in real situations helps you remember them longer. (在实际情境中使用新单词能帮助你更长久地记住它们)”符合语境，承接前文，后文是选项中“实际应用”的具体表现。故选A。 (3)题解析： 后文“High school English classes often cover difficult grammar and deep text analysis. Listen carefully when the teacher explains key points. If you miss something important, ask your teacher or classmates. (高中的英语课经常包括困难的语法和深入的文本分析。老师讲解要点时要仔细听。如果你错过了重要的东西，问问你的老师或同学)”主要围绕课堂学习展开，建议认真听课，有错漏时及时求助，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此D项“Make good use of class time. (充分利用课堂时间)”符合语境，契合后文大意。故选D。 (4)题解析： 前文“For writing, start with short diaries or topic paragraphs. (对于写作，从简短的日记或主题段落开始)”给出如何开始练习写作的方法，后文“Over time, you’ll find your reading speed and writing skills improving. (随着时间的推移，你会发现你的阅读速度和写作技巧都在提高)”总结长期坚持后的积极效果，因此G项“Writing regularly makes you use English more freely. (定期写作能让你更自如地使用英语)”符合语境，指出定期写作的效果，承前启后。故选G。 (5)题解析： 前文“Write down these mistakes in a notebook, along with the correct answers and reasons. (把这些错误以及正确的答案和原因写在笔记本上)”建议记录错误和正确答案，因此F项“This helps you find out your weak points and fail better next time. (这可以帮助你发现自己的弱点，并在下次失败时做得更好)”符合语境，总结“纠错本”的核心作用，承接前文，其中的This指代前一句的内容。故选F。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·贵州县中新学校·期中）Sports: More Than Fun — A Help for Body and Mind For high school students, balancing study and life can be challenging. Many feel stressed or low on energy,but there’s a simple solution: sports. 1 From physical healthy to mental strength, sports offer benefits that go far beyond the playground. First, sports keep your body in good shape. 2 It also strengthens your muscles and bones, which is especially important as you’re still growing. Without regular exercise, you might feel tired easily or get sick more often — problems that can slow down your studies. 3 When you’re stuck on a difficult math problem or worried about an exam, stress can build up quickly. Sports help you let go of that stress. When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins, a kind of chemical that makes you feel happy and relaxed. This clear mind can make it easier to focus on your homework later. Team sports, like volleyball or soccer, teach you valuable social skills too. You’ll learn to listen to your teammates’ advice, share your own ideas, and work together to win a game. 4 These skills aren’t just for sports — they’ll also help you in group projects at school or even future jobs. Finally, sports build your confidence and perseverance. Setting small goals, like running 800 meters faster or scoring a goal, pushes you to work hard. 5 In short, sports are more than just a way to have fun. They help you stay active and healthy. So why not choose a sport you enjoy and make it part of your daily life? A. They help you stay active and healthy. B. This not only improves your fitness. C. Sports are also a great way to reduce stress. D. When you reach that goal, you’ll feel proud. E. You have to communicate and cooperate with others. F. After a short workout, you’ll feel more relaxed and focused. G. They can help you stay healthy, reduce stress, and build skills. 【答案】1. G 2. B 3. C 4. E 5. D 【解析】【原文】 本文是一篇说明文。文章论述了体育运动对高中生而言不仅是娱乐方式，更在身体健康、缓解压力、培养社交技能、建立自信与毅力等方面具有重要作用，呼吁高中生将喜欢的运动纳入日常生活。 (1)题解析： 本题在第一段段中。由它前面一句“Many feel stressed or low on energy, but there’s a simple solution: sports. (很多高中生感到压力大或精力不足，但有一个简单的解决办法：运动)”和下一句“From physical health to mental strength, sports offer benefits that go far beyond the playground.(从身体健康到心理韧性，体育运动带来的好处远不止于运动场)”可知，本空要承接上文的“运动是解决办法”，并引出下文的“运动多方面好处”，G项“它们能帮助你保持健康、缓解压力并培养技能”能承上启下，而且主语They指代上文的sports。故选G。 (2)题解析： 本题在第二段段中。根据它前面一句“First, sports keep your body in good shape.(首先，运动能让你的身体保持良好状态)”以及后面一句“It also strengthens your muscles and bones, which is especially important as you’re still growing.(它还能增强你的肌肉和骨骼，这对你仍在发育的身体来说尤为重要)”可知，本空要承接上文的“保持身体状态”，并与下文的“增强肌肉骨骼”形成递进关系，B项“这不仅能提升你的体能”能衔接上下文，而且主语This可以指代上文的“sports keep your body in good shape”，且该选项中的“not only”与下文的“also”构成“不仅……而且……”的递进结构，具体说明运动对身体的第一层好处（提升体能），再引出第二层好处（增强肌肉骨骼）。故选B。 (3)题解析： 本题在第三段首句。根据下文“When you’re stuck on a difficult math problem or worried about an exam, stress can build up quickly. Sports help you let go of that stress.(当你被一道数学难题困住或担心考试时，压力会迅速累积。运动能帮助你释放这种压力)”可知，本空要作为本段主旨句，概括“运动能缓解压力”这一核心内容，C项“运动也是缓解压力的好方法”能总领全段，符合题意。该选项中的also承接上文第一段提到的physical health，表示这是运动的另一大好处，且该选项中的reduce stress与下文的let go of that stress完全呼应。故选C。 (4)题解析： 本题在第四段段中。由它前面一句“Team sports, like volleyball or soccer, teach you valuable social skills too. You’ll learn to listen to your teammates’ advice, share your own ideas, and work together to win a game.(排球、足球等团队运动也能教会你宝贵的社交技能。你会学会倾听队友的建议、分享自己的想法，并为了赢得比赛而共同努力)”以及后面一句“These skills aren’t just for sports — they’ll also help you in group projects at school or even future jobs. (这些技能不仅适用于运动——它们还会在学校的小组项目甚至未来的工作中帮助你)”可知，本空要进一步阐释团队运动所需的社交技能，E项“你必须与他人沟通协作”能衔接上下文，该选项中的others对应teammates，与下文的These skills相呼应，说明这类社交技能的核心内涵。故选E。 (5)题解析： 本题在第五段结尾。由它前面的句子“Finally, sports build your confidence and perseverance.Setting small goals, like running 800 meters faster or scoring a goal, pushes you to work hard.(最后，运动能培养你的自信和毅力。设定一些小目标，比如更快地跑完800米或进一个球，会激励你努力奋斗)”可知，本空要承接设定小目标并努力，说明达成目标后的结果，D 项“当你达成那个目标时，你会感到自豪”能自然衔接，符合题意。该选项中的that goal指代上文的small goals。故选D。 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·贵州遵义·期中）Coffee and Health Most people drink coffee to stay awake, but recent research suggests it may also lower the risk of death. 1 They examined how sugar and fat affected coffee’s health benefits. The team divided participants by the amount of sugar and fat in their coffee. They then compared the groups to see how preparation habits affected health. 2 Those who drank black coffee or coffee with little added sugar and fat had about a 14% lower risk of death compared with non-coffee drinkers. The results showed that drinking one to two cups of caffeinated coffee per day was related to a lower risk of death from all causes and from heart disease. 3 When large amounts of sugar and cream were included, the health advantages disappeared. According to Fang Fang Zhang, one of the study’s authors, coffee contains many active compounds (混合物) that may help protect our health. However, the effects of these compounds vary depending on how the coffee is prepared and what additives are used. 4 5 When people drank more than three cups per day, the benefits stopped increasing. In fact, heavy coffee drinkers no longer showed lower risks of death. The findings suggest that moderate consumption, rather than excessive intake, offers the greatest health advantage. A. Drinking more was not always better. B. Some coffee compounds are harmful to health. C. Researchers observed how people prepared their coffee. D. Black or lightly sweetened coffee showed the best results. E. Coffee is usually served hot or cold, depending on preference. F. But the benefits depended on what people added to their cups. G. The variation may explain why earlier studies had different findings. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. F 4. G 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了关于咖啡与健康的最新研究，指出适量饮用黑咖啡或微糖咖啡可能会降低死亡风险，并分析了咖啡添加剂和饮用量对健康效益的影响。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Most people drink coffee to stay awake, but recent research suggests it may also lower the risk of death.(大多数人喝咖啡是为了保持清醒，但最近的研究表明，喝咖啡或许还能降低死亡风险)”以及后文“They examined how sugar and fat affected coffee’s health benefits. The team divided participants by the amount of sugar and fat in their coffee. They then compared the groups to see how preparation habits affected health.(他们研究了糖和脂肪对咖啡健康益处的影响。研究团队根据参与者所饮用咖啡中的糖和脂肪含量的不同，将他们分成不同的组别。随后，他们对这些组别进行了比较，以观察饮用习惯对健康状况的影响)”可知，首段提出“咖啡可能降低死亡风险”的研究结论，后文紧接着描述研究细节——“研究团队按咖啡中糖和脂肪的含量划分参与者，对比冲调习惯对健康的影响”。C项“研究人员观察了人们如何冲调咖啡”作为过渡句，承接前文“研究”，引出后文对研究方法（观察冲调习惯、划分糖脂含量）的具体说明，符合“总述研究结论→分述研究过程”的逻辑。故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“They examined how sugar and fat affected coffee’s health benefits. The team divided participants by the amount of sugar and fat in their coffee. They then compared the groups to see how preparation habits affected health.(他们研究了糖和脂肪对咖啡健康益处的影响。研究团队根据参与者所饮用咖啡中的糖和脂肪含量的不同，将他们分成不同的组别。随后，他们对这些组别进行了比较，以观察饮用习惯对健康状况的影响)”以及后文“Those who drank black coffee or coffee with little added sugar and fat had about a 14% lower risk of death compared with non-coffee drinkers.(与不喝咖啡的人相比，那些饮用黑咖啡或添加糖和脂肪量较少的咖啡的人死亡风险降低了约14%)”前文研究团队对比不同冲调习惯的健康影响，后文具体说明“喝黑咖啡或添加少量糖和脂肪的人，死亡风险比不喝咖啡的人低约14%”。D项“黑咖啡或微甜咖啡的效果最佳”是对后文数据结果的概括性总结，作为段中过渡，承接“对比冲调习惯”，引出具体数据支撑，语义连贯。故选D。 (3)题解析： 前文“The results showed that drinking one to two cups of caffeinated coffee per day was related to a lower risk of death from all causes and from heart disease.(研究结果表明，每天饮用一杯至两杯含咖啡因的咖啡与降低因各种疾病和心脏病导致的死亡风险有关)”提到“每天喝1-2杯含咖啡因咖啡，全因死亡风险和心脏病死亡风险更低”，后文“When large amounts of sugar and cream were included, the health advantages disappeared.(当加入大量糖和奶油时，其对健康的益处便不复存在了)”转折指出“添加大量糖和奶油时，健康益处消失”。F项“但益处取决于人们在杯中添加的东西”以“but”引导转折，承接前文“咖啡有益”，引出后文“添加物影响益处”的对比，符合“正面结果→转折限制”的逻辑。故选F。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“According to Fang Fang Zhang, one of the study’s authors, coffee contains many active compounds (混合物) that may help protect our health. However, the effects of these compounds vary depending on how the coffee is prepared and what additives are used.(据该研究的作者之张芳芳介绍，咖啡中含有许多具有活性的化合物，这些化合物可能有助于保护我们的健康。然而，这些化合物的效果会因咖啡的制作方式以及所添加的成分而有所不同)”可知，前文研究作者提到“咖啡含多种有益活性化合物，但效果因冲调方式和添加物不同而变化”。G项“这种差异可能解释了早期研究为何得出不同结论”承接前文“效果差异”，从研究视角补充说明该发现的意义，符合“提出差异→解释差异的影响”的逻辑。故选G。 (5)题解析： 根据后文“When people drank more than three cups per day, the benefits stopped increasing. In fact, heavy coffee drinkers no longer showed lower risks of death. The findings suggest that moderate consumption, rather than excessive intake, offers the greatest health advantage.(当人们每天饮用超过三杯咖啡时，其健康益处便不再增加。事实上，大量饮用咖啡的人群死亡风险并未降低。研究结果表明，适度饮用咖啡而非过量饮用，对健康更有益处)”以及前文讨论“添加物”对咖啡益处的影响，后文具体说明“每天喝超过3杯时，益处不再增加，重度饮用者不再显示更低死亡风险”，核心是“饮用量与益处的关系”。A项“喝更多未必更好”作为段首句，总领后文对“饮用量上限”的说明，与前文“1-2杯有益”形成对比，引出“适度饮用”的结论，符合“添加物影响→饮用量影响”的语义递进。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·贵州贵阳第一中学·期中）Positive Attitude: Tips for Feeling Uplifted Every Day Happiness isn’t always directly connected to a positive attitude, but these strategies can help you spark cheerful thoughts, promote optimism and learn how to be more positive — and how to stay positive too. ● Stop the negative self-talk 1 . Instead of giving ourselves well-deserved praise, we beat ourselves up internally, dragging down our self-confidence and energy. If you find yourself blaming yourself for everything, or panicking that something bad will happen, take yourself out of that headspace once you recognize it. ● Volunteer for a meaningful cause There are many positive benefits of volunteering, from reducing feelings of loneliness to giving you a sense of purpose, all of which can give you a brighter viewpoint in life. 2 to get the most positivity from helping others. If you’re volunteering just to check a box, it won’t have the same mood-enhancing effect. ● Take a break from screens Too much time spent on social media can be bad for our mental health, leading to negative feelings about ourselves and a higher risk of depression. 3 . If giving up social media feels like a big leap, try balancing it with healthier activities like meditation (冥想). ● 4 Feeling like your attitude could use an adjustment? Inspirational books and quotes can help, but what really makes a difference is spending time with people who have good outlooks on life. Being around positive people will help make you more positive. 5 , when you’re looking to hang out with someone next time. A. Set boundaries for yourself B. Hang out with optimistic people C.

Clothing libraries, where visitors can check out clothes, are appearing online and even inside traditional book libraries. Fast fashion has enabled people to find their style and express themselves quickly and cheaply. 2 . The fashion industry produces about 175 million tons of textiles (纺织品) annually, yet only 6. 6 million tons are actually used. The remaining 169 million tons are discarded in landfills. Reusing clothes can significantly lower one’s carbon footprints. This has increased the popularity of clothing libraries, which focus on recycling and reusing. Initially offering expensive or special occasion wear, many now also include everyday clothing. Although most clothing libraries operate online, Lizzie chose to place them in local libraries instead. She founded an organization in 2023 to promote clothing exchanges at Oswestry Library. 3 . This helps her see an opportunity to advance secondhand fashion and attract visitors. Lizzie believed libraries provided the perfect comfortable setting for trying new styles. 4 . Many clothing exchanges use a point system requiring donations, but at Oswestry Library, only a library card was needed. With the card, users could check out books or clothing for three weeks and renew them. Each piece of clothing has a barcode(条形码) with the donor’s name, which makes clothes feel special. The Oswestry project perfectly combines fashion with literature, proving that a library visit can refresh one’s mind, wallet, and wardrobe. This initiative (新方案) benefits the local library, community, and organizers. For Lizzie, the greatest joy lies in seeing people discover and value recycled clothing. 5 . A. However, it does come at a cost B. It also helps reduce waste in the book industry C. It quickly grew into a clothing lending program D. This new idea is already a reality in some places E.

With so many distractions around, like phones and noise, it’s easy to lose concentration. 1 Here are some simple tips that can help you focus better and make your study time more effective. First, find a quiet and comfortable place to study. It could be a desk in your room, a library, or any place where you won’t be easily interrupted. 2 This means turning off the TV and putting your phone on silent mode or in another room. When you remove these distractions, your brain can pay full attention to your work. 3 Trying to study for hours without a break can actually make you tired and less productive. A good method is the “Pomodoro Technique”. You study for 25 minutes, and then you take a short 5-minute break. After four such sessions, you can take a longer break of 15 — 20 minutes. During your break, you can stretch, get a drink, or just relax. Another helpful way is to set clear goals for each study session. Instead of just saying “I will study math,” tell yourself “I will finish these 10 math problems.” 4 It feels great to see what you have achieved, and this will keep you motivated. Finally, make sure you get enough sleep and eat healthy food. Your brain is like an engine; it needs good fuel to run properly. If you are tired or hungry, it is much harder to concentrate. 5 By taking care of your body, you are also preparing your mind for successful studying. Remember, improving your focus takes time and practice. Start with one or two of these tips, and you will slowly see a difference. A. This will help you stay focused on your task. B. However, there are ways to solve this problem. C. Listening to music can help some people concentrate. D. It is also important to take regular breaks while studying. E. A healthy body and mind are the basics of good concentration. F. You should also avoid things that might take your attention away. G. Having a goal makes your study more purposeful and manageable. 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. D 4. G 5.

One study had followed 1,000 adults for 10 years. 2 Those who reported feeling happy and hopeful most days had 30% fewer cases of heart disease than those who often felt stressed or sad. Another research project looked at people with chronic pain. 3 Participants who practiced daily gratitude — writing down three things they were thankful for — said their pain levels dropped by 20% after two months. Why does this happen? 4 When we feel positive, our bodies release less cortisol, the “stress hormone” that raises blood pressure and weakens the immune system. Positive emotions also boost the production of endorphins, which reduce pain and improve mood. 5 They found even small acts of positivity, like smiling at a stranger or laughing with a friend, can trigger these physical changes. You don’t need big efforts to gain these benefits. Try starting your day by naming one thing you’re looking forward to, or ending it by noting a small joy. Over time, these tiny steps can strengthen your body’s defenses and make you healthier overall. A. The answer lies in how our bodies respond to emotions. B. It’s not surprising that positive people are healthier. C. These emotions can also help us build better relationships. D. Its findings offered strong support for this connection. E. Even some doctors have begun to pay attention to this field. F. Participants were asked to keep a record of their daily emotions. G. Even small changes in our mental state can affect our physical health. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. F 4. A 5.

Be Aware of Your Body Language People with social anxiety often display closed-off or defensive body language, such as crossing their arms, speaking quietly or standing far away from other people. Actively change this by adopting an open posture — face others, speak a bit louder than usual, and respect personal space but not create too much distance. 1 . 2 Anxious thoughts often exaggerate the risks of social interactions. You might imagine the worst cases or assume others will judge you negatively. Challenge these thoughts by asking yourself: “Is it truly likely that everyone will stare and walk away?” Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques can help you replace negative thoughts with more realistic ones. With practice, you'll realize that most social fears are unfounded. Gradual Exposure is Key You don't have to force yourself into every social event. Prioritize and start with smaller, less frightening situations. 3 . While it may feel stressful and tiring initially, this process helps build confidence and reduces anxiety over time. Acknowledge your progress and reward yourself for using positive coping strategies. Come prepared, But Not Too prepared If small talk worries you, it's okay to have a few conversation starters ready, but avoid preparing everything beforehand. 4 . Focus on asking open-ended questions and showing genuine interest in others. Remember, the goal is connection, not perfection. Finally, remember a simple but powerful tool: your breath. When anxiety rises, pause and focus on your breath. 5 . Deep, calm breathing can center your mind and ease your physical tension. However, overcoming social anxiety is a process — be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. A. Trust Your Instincts B. Examine Your Thoughts C. It may sound simple, but it works D. They are often based on unrealistic assumptions E. Doing so can actually increase pressure and make interactions feel unnatural F. These small adjustments can prevent you from being ignored and feeling isolated G. Gradually exposing yourself to social settings, rather than avoiding them entirely, is crucial 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. G 4. E 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要围绕如何克服社交焦虑提供了五个实用策略。 (1)题解析： 根据空前“Actively change this by adopting an open posture — face others, speak a bit louder than usual, and respect personal space but not create too much distance.(主动改变这一点，采取开放的姿态——面对他人，说话比平时稍响一些，尊重个人空间但不过分疏远)”可知，空前提到改变身体语言的具体做法，如面对他人、提高音量等，故此空应总结这些调整带来的积极影响，故F项“这些小小的调整可以防止你被忽视和感到孤立”符合，且F项中的“these small adjustments”与空前的“Actively change”相呼应，指代前文提到的开放姿态的改变。故选 F项。 (2)题解析： 根据本段内容“Anxious thoughts often exaggerate the risks of social interactions. You might imagine the worst cases or assume others will judge you negatively.

Strong reading skills build confidence, improve knowledge, and open the door to academic success. It is the thread that ties all learning together. 1 Reading doesn’t just prepare students for tests and assignments. 2 When children read, they’re not just learning words — they’re building cognitive (认知的) skills that help them analyze, problem-solve, and imagine new possibilities. 3 The more children read, the more they’re exposed to new words and ways of expressing ideas. This not only helps them express their thoughts clearly but also improves their confidence in writing and speaking. They also become better listeners and speakers. Furthermore, reading helps develop empathy (同理心). When you read, you can find yourself thinking about the characters in a book as if they are real people, with viewpoints possibly very different from your own. 4 This means children can practice feeling certain emotions and learn to imagine what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes. Finally, reading is a great way to reduce stress. When you read, you take your attention away from the problems of the day. 5 Reading a book is often more effective at reducing stress than listening to music or even taking a walk. A. This helps you relax and lower your heart rate. B. This allows for the growth of emotional intelligence. C. Therefore, students should only read non-fiction books. D. It also shapes how they think and interact with the world. E. All students are required to read for 20 minutes every day. F. An early love of reading can shape a child’s entire educational journey. G. Reading also builds a richer vocabulary and stronger communication skills. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·贵州镇宁民族中学·期中）Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 1 . Here is how to make one. • 2 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make. • Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 3 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer. • Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 4 . • Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.

Passage 3 （25-26高一上·贵州镇宁民族中学·期中）How to Learn High School English Well High school English is a key subject that connects junior high knowledge and college requirements. It not only helps you get good grades but also improves your ability to communicate and understand the world. However, many students find it hard to keep up with high school English. 1 Build a solid vocabulary. Vocabulary is the foundation of English learning. You can’t understand reading materials or write good articles without enough words. Set a daily goal, like learning 10 new words every day. 2 For example, you can use new words in sentences or write short paragraphs — this makes memorization more effective. 3 High school English classes often cover difficult grammar and deep text analysis. Listen carefully when the teacher explains key points. If you miss something important, ask your teacher or classmates. Don’t let doubts pile up; solving them in time keeps you on track. Keep practicing reading and writing. Read short English passages (such as news stories or essay excerpts) every day. After reading, try to retell the main idea in your own words. For writing, start with short diaries or topic paragraphs. 4 Over time, you’ll find your reading speed and writing skills improving. Organize a mistake notebook. Everyone makes mistakes in English — whether it’s a grammar error or a wrong sentence structure. Write down these mistakes in a notebook, along with the correct answers and reasons. 5 Review this notebook once a week, and you’ll avoid making the same mistakes again. A. Using new words in real situations helps you remember them longer. B. Focusing on grammar exercises can also make you better at English. C. Here are some practical suggestions to help you learn it well. D. Make good use of class time. E. Spending half an hour every night on English homework is the best way. F. This helps you find out your weak points and fail better next time. G. Writing regularly makes you use English more freely. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·贵州县中新学校·期中）Sports: More Than Fun — A Help for Body and Mind For high school students, balancing study and life can be challenging. Many feel stressed or low on energy,but there’s a simple solution: sports. 1 From physical healthy to mental strength, sports offer benefits that go far beyond the playground. First, sports keep your body in good shape. 2 It also strengthens your muscles and bones, which is especially important as you’re still growing. Without regular exercise, you might feel tired easily or get sick more often — problems that can slow down your studies. 3 When you’re stuck on a difficult math problem or worried about an exam, stress can build up quickly. Sports help you let go of that stress. When you exercise, your brain releases endorphins, a kind of chemical that makes you feel happy and relaxed. This clear mind can make it easier to focus on your homework later. Team sports, like volleyball or soccer, teach you valuable social skills too. You’ll learn to listen to your teammates’ advice, share your own ideas, and work together to win a game. 4 These skills aren’t just for sports — they’ll also help you in group projects at school or even future jobs. Finally, sports build your confidence and perseverance. Setting small goals, like running 800 meters faster or scoring a goal, pushes you to work hard. 5 In short, sports are more than just a way to have fun. They help you stay active and healthy. So why not choose a sport you enjoy and make it part of your daily life? A. They help you stay active and healthy. B. This not only improves your fitness. C. Sports are also a great way to reduce stress. D. When you reach that goal, you’ll feel proud. E. You have to communicate and cooperate with others. F. After a short workout, you’ll feel more relaxed and focused. G. They can help you stay healthy, reduce stress, and build skills. Passage 1 （25-26高三上·贵州遵义·期中）Coffee and Health Most people drink coffee to stay awake, but recent research suggests it may also lower the risk of death. 1 They examined how sugar and fat affected coffee’s health benefits. The team divided participants by the amount of sugar and fat in their coffee. They then compared the groups to see how preparation habits affected health. 2 Those who drank black coffee or coffee with little added sugar and fat had about a 14% lower risk of death compared with non-coffee drinkers. The results showed that drinking one to two cups of caffeinated coffee per day was related to a lower risk of death from all causes and from heart disease. 3 When large amounts of sugar and cream were included, the health advantages disappeared. According to Fang Fang Zhang, one of the study’s authors, coffee contains many active compounds (混合物) that may help protect our health. However, the effects of these compounds vary depending on how the coffee is prepared and what additives are used. 4 5 When people drank more than three cups per day, the benefits stopped increasing. In fact, heavy coffee drinkers no longer showed lower risks of death. The findings suggest that moderate consumption, rather than excessive intake, offers the greatest health advantage. A. Drinking more was not always better. B. Some coffee compounds are harmful to health. C. Researchers observed how people prepared their coffee. D. Black or lightly sweetened coffee showed the best results. E. Coffee is usually served hot or cold, depending on preference. F. But the benefits depended on what people added to their cups. G. The variation may explain why earlier studies had different findings.

Clothing libraries, where visitors can check out clothes, are appearing online and even inside traditional book libraries. Fast fashion has enabled people to find their style and express themselves quickly and cheaply. 2 . The fashion industry produces about 175 million tons of textiles (纺织品) annually, yet only 6. 6 million tons are actually used. The remaining 169 million tons are discarded in landfills. Reusing clothes can significantly lower one’s carbon footprints. This has increased the popularity of clothing libraries, which focus on recycling and reusing. Initially offering expensive or special occasion wear, many now also include everyday clothing. Although most clothing libraries operate online, Lizzie chose to place them in local libraries instead. She founded an organization in 2023 to promote clothing exchanges at Oswestry Library. 3 . This helps her see an opportunity to advance secondhand fashion and attract visitors. Lizzie believed libraries provided the perfect comfortable setting for trying new styles. 4 . Many clothing exchanges use a point system requiring donations, but at Oswestry Library, only a library card was needed. With the card, users could check out books or clothing for three weeks and renew them. Each piece of clothing has a barcode(条形码) with the donor’s name, which makes clothes feel special. The Oswestry project perfectly combines fashion with literature, proving that a library visit can refresh one’s mind, wallet, and wardrobe. This initiative (新方案) benefits the local library, community, and organizers. For Lizzie, the greatest joy lies in seeing people discover and value recycled clothing. 5 . A. However, it does come at a cost B. It also helps reduce waste in the book industry C. It quickly grew into a clothing lending program D. This new idea is already a reality in some places E. A famous designer decided to start her own business F. The Oswestry clothing library works just like its book service G. This creates a wonderful feeling of shared community and responsibility Passage 6 （25-26高一上·贵州名校协作体·期中）How to Be Independent Being independent means making your own decisions without relying too much on others. 1 Therefore, learning how to be independent is a key step that every young person should take on their journey to adulthood. Spending some time alone It helps you to better understand your own strengths and weaknesses. 2 Moreover, building confidence is of importance. A confident person trusts their own opinions and doesn't always need recognition from others, which allows them to follow a path that is truly their own. 3 These practices, such as cooking or home repairs, can make a huge difference in helping you solve problems by yourself. When you can make a simple meal instead of waiting for takeout, or fix a loose shelf without calling a handyman, you'll feel a real sense of control over your daily life. This independence doesn't just save time and money—it also builds confidence. Managing your finances Managing your money well is also a key aspect of independence. First of all, learn to earn your own money, like doing small part-time jobs. 4 For example, you can note down daily buys. This practice lets you avoid depending on others for money. It brings a real sense of self-reliance, and also teaches you to think twice before wasting money, building a sense of duty towards your own life. In conclusion, becoming independent is a journey that requires continuous effort and practice. By taking these steps, you can be independent and learn from your experiences. 5 A. Learning basic life skills. B. Trying to build confidence. C. It is important for personal growth. D. Additionally, create a plan to control spending. E.

Passage 1 （25-26高一上·贵州黔西南州普安县第一中学·期中）How to Improve Your Focus While Studying Many students find it difficult to focus when they are studying. With so many distractions around, like phones and noise, it’s easy to lose concentration. 1 Here are some simple tips that can help you focus better and make your study time more effective. First, find a quiet and comfortable place to study. It could be a desk in your room, a library, or any place where you won’t be easily interrupted. 2 This means turning off the TV and putting your phone on silent mode or in another room. When you remove these distractions, your brain can pay full attention to your work. 3 Trying to study for hours without a break can actually make you tired and less productive. A good method is the “Pomodoro Technique”. You study for 25 minutes, and then you take a short 5-minute break. After four such sessions, you can take a longer break of 15 — 20 minutes. During your break, you can stretch, get a drink, or just relax. Another helpful way is to set clear goals for each study session. Instead of just saying “I will study math,” tell yourself “I will finish these 10 math problems.” 4 It feels great to see what you have achieved, and this will keep you motivated. Finally, make sure you get enough sleep and eat healthy food. Your brain is like an engine; it needs good fuel to run properly. If you are tired or hungry, it is much harder to concentrate. 5 By taking care of your body, you are also preparing your mind for successful studying. Remember, improving your focus takes time and practice. Start with one or two of these tips, and you will slowly see a difference. A. This will help you stay focused on your task. B. However, there are ways to solve this problem. C. Listening to music can help some people concentrate. D. It is also important to take regular breaks while studying. E. A healthy body and mind are the basics of good concentration. F. You should also avoid things that might take your attention away. G. Having a goal makes your study more purposeful and manageable. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·贵州县中新学校·期中）How Positive Psychology Boosts Physical Health Many people think of health as just eating well and exercising, but positive psychology shows that our mental state plays a key role in physical well-being too. 1 Research has found that positive emotions like joy, gratitude, and optimism aren’t just “nice to have” — they actually protect our bodies. One study had followed 1,000 adults for 10 years. 2 Those who reported feeling happy and hopeful most days had 30% fewer cases of heart disease than those who often felt stressed or sad. Another research project looked at people with chronic pain. 3 Participants who practiced daily gratitude — writing down three things they were thankful for — said their pain levels dropped by 20% after two months. Why does this happen? 4 When we feel positive, our bodies release less cortisol, the “stress hormone” that raises blood pressure and weakens the immune system. Positive emotions also boost the production of endorphins, which reduce pain and improve mood. 5 They found even small acts of positivity, like smiling at a stranger or laughing with a friend, can trigger these physical changes. You don’t need big efforts to gain these benefits. Try starting your day by naming one thing you’re looking forward to, or ending it by noting a small joy. Over time, these tiny steps can strengthen your body’s defenses and make you healthier overall. A. The answer lies in how our bodies respond to emotions. B. It’s not surprising that positive people are healthier. C. These emotions can also help us build better relationships. D. Its findings offered strong support for this connection. E. Even some doctors have begun to pay attention to this field. F. Participants were asked to keep a record of their daily emotions. G. Even small changes in our mental state can affect our physical health. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·贵州·期中）How to Overcome Social Anxiety Social anxiety can make everyday interactions deeply stressful, but practical strategies can help you navigate these situations more comfortably. Be Aware of Your Body Language People with social anxiety often display closed-off or defensive body language, such as crossing their arms, speaking quietly or standing far away from other people. Actively change this by adopting an open posture — face others, speak a bit louder than usual, and respect personal space but not create too much distance. 1 . 2 Anxious thoughts often exaggerate the risks of social interactions. You might imagine the worst cases or assume others will judge you negatively. Challenge these thoughts by asking yourself: “Is it truly likely that everyone will stare and walk away?” Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques can help you replace negative thoughts with more realistic ones. With practice, you'll realize that most social fears are unfounded. Gradual Exposure is Key You don't have to force yourself into every social event. Prioritize and start with smaller, less frightening situations. 3 . While it may feel stressful and tiring initially, this process helps build confidence and reduces anxiety over time. Acknowledge your progress and reward yourself for using positive coping strategies. Come prepared, But Not Too prepared If small talk worries you, it's okay to have a few conversation starters ready, but avoid preparing everything beforehand. 4 . Focus on asking open-ended questions and showing genuine interest in others. Remember, the goal is connection, not perfection. Finally, remember a simple but powerful tool: your breath. When anxiety rises, pause and focus on your breath. 5 . Deep, calm breathing can center your mind and ease your physical tension. However, overcoming social anxiety is a process — be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way. A. Trust Your Instincts B. Examine Your Thoughts C. It may sound simple, but it works D. They are often based on unrealistic assumptions E. Doing so can actually increase pressure and make interactions feel unnatural F. These small adjustments can prevent you from being ignored and feeling isolated G. Gradually exposing yourself to social settings, rather than avoiding them entirely, is crucial / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
