It’s helpful to choose your own job in the future. Everyone goes through mental and physical changes during adolescence (青春期). If you know yourself, you’ll deal with different kinds of stress more easily and you’ll be more successful as well. Although adolescence is difficult, it’ll be much easier if you try to manage your feelings better. Here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings. Know about your feelings.‌ What feelings are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed, angry, joyful or excited? You must know your own feelings now. Accept your feelings.‌ Many people don’t want others to know their feelings. They always hide their true feelings. They think these feelings will go away over time. But they aren’t right. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings. Be familiar with your feelings.‌ How to understand your own feelings better? You can record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night in a notebook. And you should also write down the changes in your body at different times. Express your feelings.‌ Expressing your feelings in the right way is one of the best ways to make them disappear. You can cry, exercise, go shopping or talk to someone you trust. But no matter how you express your feelings, you can’t hurt yourself or others. In your life, you may experience many different feelings. But as long as you deal with these feelings in the right way, you’ll be able to live comfortably. 1．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．How to choose your jobs. B．Some changes in adolescence. C．Some skills to deal with your feelings. D．The importance of knowing yourself and how to make adolescence easier. 2．How is adolescence according to the passage? A．Happy. B．Different. C．Difficult. D．Lively. 3．What’s the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A．P1/P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 B．P1 P2 P3 P4 P5/P6 C．P1 P2/P3 P4 P5/P6 D．P1/P2 P3 P4 P5/P6 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．A few skills to deal with feelings B．How to spend adolescence C．How to know yourself better D．How to deal with different kinds of stress more easily 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了解自我的重要性，以及青春期处理自身情绪的几项实用技巧。 1．根据第一段“It’s very important to know yourself…Although adolescence is difficult, it’ll be much easier if you try to manage your feelings better.”可知，第一段讲述了解自我的重要性以及如何让青春期变得更轻松。 2．根据第一段“Although adolescence is difficult”可知，青春期是困难的。 3．通读全文，P1总述引出处理情绪的技巧；P2-P5分别介绍四种处理情绪的方法；P6总结正确处理情绪的意义。文章为总-分-总结构，对应选项D。 4．通读全文可知，文章介绍了青春期处理情绪的一些技巧，所以最佳标题为“A few skills to deal with feelings”。 Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Scientists have been studying personality for decades, and their findings are fascinating. One of the most widely accepted models is the “Big Five” personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. These five traits are believed to cover most of the differences in human personality. Studies suggest that about 40–60% of your personality comes from your genes, while the rest is shaped by your environment. Culture also plays an important role in shaping personality. Studies have found that people in East Asian cultures often score higher on conscientiousness and lower on extraversion compared to Westerners. This does not mean East Asians are “born” more hardworking — rather, their culture values these traits more, which encourages people to develop them. Interestingly, personality can even affect your health. People who score high on conscientiousness tend to live longer, partly because they take better care of themselves — they exercise more, eat healthier, and are less likely to take risks. On the other hand, people high in neuroticism may experience more stress, which can harm their physical health over time. The most important thing to remember is that no personality type is “better” than others. Every personality has its strengths. Being quiet and introverted can make you a better listener. Being outgoing can help you build connections. The key is to understand yourself and make the most of who you are. 1．According to the passage, what percentage of personality may come from genes? A．Less than 20%. B．About 30%. C．About 40–60%. D．More than 80%. 2．Which of the following is NOT one of the “Big Five” personality traits? A．Openness. B．Creativity. C．Extraversion. D．Neuroticism. 3．What does the passage say about personality and culture? A．Culture has no effect on personality. B．East Asians are born more hardworking. C．Different cultures value different personality traits. D．Western people are always more outgoing. 4．Why do highly conscientious people tend to live longer? A．They have better genes. B．They take better care of themselves. C．They are more sociable. D．They experience less stress. 5．What is the author’s main message in the last paragraph? A．Some personalities are better. B．You should change your personality. C．Every personality has value. D．Personality cannot be changed. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人格五大模型，阐述基因、文化对人格的影响，人格与健康之间的关联，点明每种人格都有自身价值。 1．根据第二段“Studies suggest that about 40–60% of your personality comes from your genes”可知，约40%—60%的人格特质来自基因。 2．第二段列出“Big Five”人格特质：openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism。可知Creativity不在五大特质当中。 3．根据第三段“This does not mean East Asians are ‘born’ more hardworking — rather, their culture values these traits more, which encourages people to develop them.”可知，不同的文化看重不同的人格特质。 4．根据第四段“People who score high on conscientiousness tend to live longer, partly because they take better care of themselves”可知，尽责性高的人更长寿，是因为他们更懂得照料自身健康。 5．根据最后一段“The most important thing to remember is that no personality type is ‘better’ than others. Every personality has its strengths.”可知，作者想表达每种人格都具备自身价值。 For fifteen years, James worked as an accountant in a big company. Every day, he sat at his desk, staring at rows of numbers and filling in forms. The pay was good, and his parents were proud of him. But every morning, James felt a heavy weight on his chest as he walked into the office. He was not unhappy exactly—he was just empty. One weekend, James visited his old high school. He walked past the art room and looked through the window. Inside, students were painting, laughing and covered in colourful paint. James stood there for a long time. He remembered that he used to love drawing when he was a teenager. His art teacher once told him, “You have a gift, James. Don’t let it die.” But his parents had said art was not a real job, so he had put down his pencils and picked up a calculator. That night, James could not sleep. He kept thinking about the students in the art room—how alive they looked. He realized that he had been living someone else’s dream for fifteen years. The next morning, he went to a stationery shop and bought a set of paints and brushes. That evening, after work, he painted for the first time in years. His hands were shaky, but his heart was full. Six months later, James handed in his resignation. His colleagues thought he was crazy. “You are giving up a safe job for paint and paper?” they asked. James just smiled. He started a small art studio in his garage, teaching children to paint on weekends. The money was less, but the weight on his chest was gone. He had finally found his voice. James often tells his students, “Your life is a canvas. Don’t let anyone else hold the brush.” He knows now that success is not about how much money you make. It is about waking up every morning and feeling grateful for the day ahead. 1．Why did James feel empty even though his job was well-paid? A．He did not get along with his colleagues B．His parents were not satisfied with him C．He had to work very long hours every day D．The job did not match his true interest 2．What made James think about his old love for drawing? A．A letter from his old art teacher B．Seeing students painting in the art room C．A conversation with his parents D．Reading a book about famous artists 3．What does the writer mean by saying “Your life is a canvas. Don’t let anyone else hold the brush”? A．You should control your own life and choices B．Everyone should learn to paint well C．Painting is the best way to become successful D．Other people can make your life more colourful 4．What can we learn from James’s story? A．A safe job is always the best choice B．Parents’ advice should always be followed C．Following your heart can bring true happiness D．It is too late to change jobs when you are old 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了James放弃高薪但空洞的会计工作，重拾绘画热爱并找到真正幸福，故事传达“追随内心能带来真快乐”的道理。 1．结合“But his parents had said art was not a real job, so he had put down his pencils and picked up a calculator.”可知James做会计工作但内心空虚，因为这份工作与他真正的兴趣（绘画）不匹配。文章第二段提到他年轻时热爱绘画。 2．结合“He walked past the art room and looked through the window. Inside, students were painting, laughing and covered in colourful paint. James stood there for a long time. He remembered that he used to love drawing when he was a teenager.”可知James路过学校美术室，看到学生们在画画，这让他想起了自己对绘画的热爱。 3．“你的人生是一幅画布，不要让别人握着画笔”是比喻，意思是你应该掌控自己的人生和选择，不要让别人替你做决定。 4．James放弃稳定的会计工作，追随内心热爱绘画，最终获得了真正的快乐。故事告诉我们：追随内心能带来真正的幸福。 While you might have thought preferring chocolate to vanilla was all about your taste, it turns out that your ice cream choosing may have more to do with your personality. According to a new study, your favourite ice cream taste can tell all kinds of things, from the age when youˈll find love to your taste in films. In the study, which was conducted for ice cream company Breyers by OnePoll, 2,000 Americans were divided into three parts, by whether they prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream. The study found that fans of strawberry ice cream tend to find love at the youngest age, at the age of 24. This was followed by vanilla fans, who fall in love around the age of 25, and chocolate fans, who tend to find love at the age of 26. The study also found that strawberry ice cream lovers are more likely to listen to jazz and enjoy science fiction films. They also tend to enjoy washing clothes. Vanilla fans, on the other hand, donˈt like washing clothes—although theyˈre happy to wash the dishes. They also tend to stay up late, love dogs, and are introverts. Vanilla ice cream eaters are quite different from those who prefer chocolate. Chocolate ice cream lovers are more likely to be extroverts. They also love watching romantic films and prefer to listen to pop and rock music. ▲ According to a study conducted by Baskin-Robbins and Juliet A．Boghossian, those who like ice cream cones “are people who lead with their heart”. Sugar cone eaters “are funny and enjoy the life of the party”, while those who prefer waffle cones to holding their spoons of ice cream “tend to be the host of the party, and are usually caregivers”. Meanwhile, people who prefer to eat their ice cream out of a bowl or a cup “are rational thinkers”. Those who prefer their ice cream without the cone also “are dependable, family-centred and hard-working”. 1．People who prefer eating ________ are more likely to get along well with others quickly. A．ice cream out of a bowl B．strawberry waffle cones C．chocolate ice cream cones D．vanilla ice cream without the cone 2．Which of the following can be best put at the beginning of Paragraph 5? A．The way you eat ice cream can tell something about your personality. B．How you eat your ice cream decides how you get along with others. C．Your taste of ice cream can show what kind of person you are. D．Different people have different ways to eat their ice cream. 3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A．Strawberry ice cream lovers must get married at a very young age. B．People who prefer waffle cones are good at taking care of others. C．People who prefer vanilla ice cream hate doing housework at home. D．Sugar cone eaters always work hard to make money for their families. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．People Have Different Tastes and Eating Ways of Ice Cream B．Your Ice Cream Taste and Eating Ways Say Much About You C．How You Choose Ice Cream Decides Your Hobby D．What Your Favourite Ice Cream Taste Is 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍一项研究表明，人们喜爱的冰淇淋口味、食用冰淇淋的方式都能反映出自身不同的性格特点。 1．根据第四段“Chocolate ice cream lovers are more likely to be extroverts.”和最后一段“those who like ice cream cones ‘are people who lead with their heart’”可知，巧克力冰淇淋爱好者性格外向，喜欢甜筒的人随心而动；外向的人更容易快速与他人相处融洽。由此推知，偏爱吃巧克力冰淇淋甜筒的人更有可能快速和他人融洽相处。 2．第五段主要介绍不同的冰淇淋食用容器/方式对应的性格特质，A选项“The way you eat ice cream can tell something about your personality.”总领全段，适合放在段首。 3．根据第五段“those who prefer waffle cones to holding their spoons of ice cream ‘tend to be the host of the party, and are usually caregivers’.”可知，偏爱华夫甜筒的人擅长照顾别人。 4．文章前半部分讲冰淇淋口味反映性格，后半部分讲食用冰淇淋的方式反映性格，B选项“Your Ice Cream Taste and Eating Ways Say Much About You”完整概括全文。 Do you know how to deal with your feelings when you are upset? Everyone may feel sad, worried or angry sometimes.These feelings are normal, but if you keep bad feelings inside for too long, they will be bad for your health and study. Here are some useful ways to cheer yourself up when you are in a bad mood. First, talk to someone you trust. Many teenagers choose to keep their problems to themselves.They are afraid that others will laugh at them or think they are strange. In fact, talking is the best way to release stress. You can talk to your parents, teachers or close friends. When you share your trouble with them, they may give you some useful advice. Just speaking out your feelings will also make you feel relaxed. Second, do some sports or outdoor activities. Doing exercise can make your body produce special things that make you happy. You can go running, play basketball or swim in your free time. If you don’t like sports, you can take a walk in the park, enjoy the fresh air and beautiful flowers. Being close to nature can calm your mind and drive away bad moods. Third, do something you enjoy. Everyone has hobbies. You can read interesting storybooks, listen to soft music or draw pictures. Hobbies can take your attention away from your troubles. When you put your heart into your favorite things, you will forget unhappiness little by little. You can also watch funny cartoons or comedies. Laughter is the best medicine for a bad mood. Fourth, learn to think in a different way. Sometimes bad feelings come from our wrong ideas. If you fail an exam, don’t always think you are stupid. Instead, find out the reasons and try to do better next time. Learn to accept small mistakes and encourage yourself all the time. Life is full of ups and downs. Bad feelings are just small parts of life. Use these ways properly, and you will become a happy and confident person. 1．Why shouldn’t we keep bad feelings for a long time? A．It will make us lonely.

You can talk to your parents, teachers or close friends.”可知，和别人交谈是释放压力最好的方式，据此可以推断，单词“release”意为“释放”。 3．根据第三段“You can go running, play basketball or swim in your free time. If you don’t like sports, you can take a walk in the park”以及第四段“You can read interesting storybooks, listen to soft music or draw pictures.”可知，打球、散步、听音乐都可以帮我们振作起来，文中没有提到和别人打架。 4．根据第五段“If you fail an exam, don’t always think you are stupid. Instead, find out the reasons and try to do better next time.”可知，考试失利时，我们要找出原因并且争取下次进步。 ①Public affairs (公共事务), including social, economic, political or business activities, etc, usually influence almost everyone in the society. When it comes to public affairs, some people think that young people are becoming less interested in them. However, that’s not the case. ②Nowadays, people no longer have to wait for a copy of the local or international newspaper to be published before they can learn about the latest event. Only a few people keep the habit of getting information from a specific news media at a fixed time. In fact, gone are the days when people had to depend on newspapers or televisions to know about world events. Technology has greatly helped spread information and everyone, especially young people, can get it any time anywhere. ③As technology develops, websites and apps used for social networking are increasing at an amazing speed, so more chances are provided for young people to learn about public affairs. A survey carried out recently has shown that 94% of young people get up-to-date news from social media platforms at least a few times a day. What’s more, over 65% of them even discuss some serious problems and post their thoughts online on topics like green energy and space exploration. More and more young people make their voices heard about public affairs and offer some advice online. This wave of actions shows that they surely care about our society and would like to make efforts to make it better. ④Besides, young people pay more attention to climate change and are taking an active part in environmental protection for our planet. For example, a 25-year-old girl has planted 150,000 trees and trained hundreds of community members in raising bees. This girl is among millions of young people who are taking the responsibility (责任) of our society. ⑤In a word, young people have strong feelings of turning dreams into realities and are willing to devote themselves to the development of our society, which drives them to build the world better. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Some advice. B．Our society. C．Green energy. D．Space exploration. 2．How does the writer show young people’s attention to public affairs in Paragraph 4? A．By providing an example. B．By carrying out a survey. C．By comparing numbers. D．By having an interview. 3．What is the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Interests shape the future of young people. B．Public affairs are worth everyone’s attention. C．Technology influences the spread of information. D．Young people are never absent from public affairs. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，反驳“年轻人对公共事务兴趣降低”这一观点，从信息获取渠道、社交媒体参与、环保实践三个方面论证年轻人依然关心公共事务，并愿意为社会发展付出努力。 1．根据第三段“More and more young people make their voices heard about public affairs and offer some advice online. This wave of actions shows that they surely care about our society and would like to make efforts to make it better.”可知，年轻人关心我们的社会，希望通过努力让社会变得更好；因此，划线单词“it”指代前文提到的“our society”。 2．根据第四段“For example, a 25-year-old girl has planted 150,000 trees and trained hundreds of community members in raising bees.”可知，作者通过列举一名女孩参与环保行动的例子，来展现年轻人对公共事务的关注。 3．第①段提出观点：年轻人并没有对公共事务失去兴趣；第②③④段分别从信息获取、网络讨论、环保行动三个角度论证；第⑤段总结全文。文章结构为“总—分—总”，对应选项D结构图。 4．根据第一段“When it comes to public affairs, some people think that young people are becoming less interested in them. However, that’s not the case.”以及第五段“In a word, young people have strong feelings of turning dreams into realities and are willing to devote themselves to the development of our society, which drives them to build the world better.”可知，文章核心是论证年轻人始终关注并积极参与公共事务，即年轻人从未缺席公共事务。 ① We all have trouble, and often make mistakes. However, many of us find it hard to admit (承认) them to others. So most of us would keep the problems to ourselves. We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others think we are not good enough. ② The good news is that our worries about the negative (负面的) evaluations (评价) from others may not seem as serious as we imagine. Research suggests that we see our act of showing weakness negatively, but others may not think so. And researchers call this the “beautiful mess effect (效应)”. That means ▲ . ③ This effect can stop us from sharing our true feelings and needs. But sharing feelings can actually have many advantages. For example, studies show that sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust, while saying sorry sincerely could repair a broken relationship. ④ Some researchers wanted to know how we could deal with the “beautiful mess effect”. Their new experiments (实验) suggest that being self-compassionate (自我同情的) can help. ⑤ In the study, researchers invited 340 university students who had different levels of self-compassion to take part in four experiments. In one of them, students were asked to imagine themselves admitting that they’d made a big mistake. At the same time, they also imagined another person admitting the same mistake. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness? ⑥ The study showed that students with low self-compassion evaluated their own act more negatively. Highly self-compassionate students, on the other hand, were not much influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. They were more likely to see admitting mistakes as courage. In a word, self-compassion helps us evaluate our act of showing weakness more fairly, stopping us from being too hard on ourselves. ⑦ Luckily, our level of self-compassion is not fixed and can be raised if we want to. If we love ourselves, we can become more comfortable with showing our weakness. This practice can improve our relationships. 1．Why do people keep their problems to themselves according to the passage? A．To make fewer mistakes. B．To get their problems right. C．To protect their personal information. D．To keep away from negative evaluations. 2．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．we may not be such a mess as we think B．other people always think highly of us C．we need to share our true feelings and needs D．we shouldn’t deal with “beautiful mess effect” 3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5? A．Taking part in four experiments. B．Evaluating this act. C．Admitting their or others’ mistakes. D．Having different self-compassion. 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．It will be harder to share our weakness if we love ourselves. B．All the students in the experiment see admitting mistakes as courage. C．Sharing true feelings helps to build a better relationship with others. D．People with high self-compassion were more influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了“美丽困境效应”的定义与影响，说明自我同情可应对该效应，同时通过实验验证了自我同情的作用，指出提升自我同情水平能帮助我们更坦然地面对自身弱点，改善人际关系。 1．根据第一段“We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others think we are not good enough.”以及“our worries about the negative evaluations from others”可知，人们将问题藏在心里是害怕他人的负面评价，即想要远离负面评价。 2．根据第二段“Research suggests that we see our act of showing weakness negatively, but others may not think so. And researchers call this the “beautiful mess effect”.”可知，“美丽困境效应”指我们会负面看待自己暴露弱点的行为，但他人并不会这样想，也就意味着“我们并没有自己想象中那么糟糕”。 3．根据第五段“students were asked to imagine themselves admitting that they’d made a big mistake. At the same time, they also imagined another person admitting the same mistake. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness?”可知，it指代前文提到的“承认自己或他人的错误”这一行为。 4．根据第三段“sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust, while saying sorry sincerely could repair a broken relationship.”可知，分享真实感受有助于建立亲密感与信任、修复关系，即有助于和他人建立更好的关系。 5．文章第①段提出人们不愿暴露弱点、隐藏问题的现象，引出第③段分享的好处；第②段介绍“美丽困境效应”的定义，引出第④段应对该效应的方法——自我同情；第⑤⑥段是支撑第④段观点的实验过程与结果，属于第④段的内容；第⑦段总结全文，点明自我同情的意义。整体结构符合选项A。 Nowadays, people are used to getting quick answers from the Internet. When meeting difficulties, most teenagers prefer to search for ready-made solutions online instead of thinking independently. This habit has gradually weakened their ability to deal with challenges by themselves. However, slow thinking is becoming more and more important in modern life. Slow thinking means taking time to analyze problems, consider different sides and find out deep causes. It is not about being slow-minded, but about thinking carefully and deeply. Quick answers are often simple and surface-level. They can solve small daily problems, but fail to help people face long-term challenges. For example, if a student only copies online answers for homework, he will never truly understand knowledge. When facing new exam problems, he will still feel helpless. Many successful people depend on slow thinking. Marie Curie spent years doing repeated experiments to discover radium. She never gave up after hundreds of failures and thought slowly about each result. Her patience and deep thinking finally led to great achievements. Similarly, great writers and artists always spend a long time improving their works instead of finishing them quickly. Slow thinking also helps people make better decisions. In a fast-paced world, people are easily influenced by hot topics or others’ opinions. If we slow down to think,we can tell right from wrong and avoid blind choices. For teenagers, slow thinking is a necessary skill. It helps them build strong minds, face future difficulties bravely and grow into independent thinkers. We cannot always get perfect results in a short time. True progress comes from deep thinking and long-time efforts. Only when we learn to slow down can we see further and go further in life. 1．What do most teenagers do when they meet problems now? A．They try to solve them by slow thinking. B．They search for ready-made answers online. C．They ask successful people for advice. D．They analyze problems from different sides. 2．What can we infer from Marie Curie’s example? A．Quick answers can solve most serious problems. B．Slow thinking brings great achievements with patience. C．Repeated experiments are useless for scientific research.

In 2022, China started the building of child-friendly cities in 14 cities, including Beijing, Changsha, Shenzhen, and Ningbo. By 2025, China will carry out 100 pilot projects for child-friendly cities nationwide. Building child-friendly cities is not only a national policy but also a reshaping(重塑) of urban (城市的) environments, Xinhua noted. This will make better places for children in services, rights, and play areas. The 14 cities have introduced child-friendly features (特点) such as local 70-centimeter-tall trash bins, 50-centimeter-high handrails (扶手) in hospitals,140-centimeter-high handles on buses, and child- friendly sinks (水槽) in public restrooms, according to People’s Daily. Communities are also creating spaces that better serve children. The recently completed Guangzhou Guangji Community Children’s Park is one such example. People have turned the park into a bright yellow playground. Children can have fun on expanded game walls(拓展游戏墙) and there is even a running track for toddlers (幼儿). However, there are still many problems in building child-friendly cities. For example, parents and teachers often make decisions for children. It’s important to listen to children’s voices and let them take part in the decision-making processes, said WangHuifang, a researcher at the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau in Changsha, Hunan. Shenzhen is working on this problem. In 2023, a children’s council(委员会) was made in the city, where children can discuss things such as weekend activities and how to use space in their community. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking questions. B．By telling stories. C．By comparing the facts. D．By giving examples. 2．What does the underlined word “them” in the sixth paragraph refer to? A．Parents. B．Children. C．Teachers. D．People. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Building child-friendly cities is a national policy. B．We are decreasing spaces that better serve children. C．China is making its cities safer and friendlier for kids. D．Parents and teachers aren’t supposed to make decisions for children. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？ A．①/②③④/⑤/⑥⑦ B．①/②③④/⑤⑥⑦ C．①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥⑦ 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。以设问开篇，介绍我国建设儿童友好城市的政策、各地落地配套设施、社区改造实例，同时点明现存问题与地方改进措施，客观介绍儿童友好城市建设现状。 1．根据文章第一段第一句“Have you ever tried squatting down (蹲下) to see the world from a ‘1-meter height’ ”？”可知，作者是以提出问题的方式开始文章的。 2．根据第六段前文“parents and teachers often make decisions for children. It’s important to listen to children’s voices and let them...”可知，此处强调要倾听儿童的声音并让他们参与，因此“them”指代的是“Children”。 3．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了中国建设儿童友好型城市的政策、具体设施改造、社区案例以及存在的问题和改进措施，核心主旨是中国正在让城市对儿童更安全、更友好。 4．分析文章结构可知：第①段通过提问引入话题；第②③④⑤段详细介绍了政策背景、具体设施改造及社区案例；第⑥⑦段指出了现存问题（成人代决）及解决方案（儿童委员会）。因此结构划分为①/②③④⑤/⑥⑦。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 第一次月考复习之阅读理解10篇 （Units1-2单元话题） 单元 单元话题 Unit 1 Know yourself 了解自我，工作与职业 Unit 2 Teenage problems 青少年问题 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下每单元依次对应5篇单元话题专题训练 Sunshine School is looking for a student president for the new term.

It’s helpful to choose your own job in the future. Everyone goes through mental and physical changes during adolescence (青春期). If you know yourself, you’ll deal with different kinds of stress more easily and you’ll be more successful as well. Although adolescence is difficult, it’ll be much easier if you try to manage your feelings better. Here are a few skills for you to deal with your feelings. Know about your feelings.‌ What feelings are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed, angry, joyful or excited? You must know your own feelings now. Accept your feelings.‌ Many people don’t want others to know their feelings. They always hide their true feelings. They think these feelings will go away over time. But they aren’t right. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings. Be familiar with your feelings.‌ How to understand your own feelings better? You can record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night in a notebook. And you should also write down the changes in your body at different times. Express your feelings.‌ Expressing your feelings in the right way is one of the best ways to make them disappear. You can cry, exercise, go shopping or talk to someone you trust. But no matter how you express your feelings, you can’t hurt yourself or others. In your life, you may experience many different feelings. But as long as you deal with these feelings in the right way, you’ll be able to live comfortably. 1．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A．How to choose your jobs. B．Some changes in adolescence.

A．A few skills to deal with feelings B．How to spend adolescence C．How to know yourself better D．How to deal with different kinds of stress more easily Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Scientists have been studying personality for decades, and their findings are fascinating. One of the most widely accepted models is the “Big Five” personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. These five traits are believed to cover most of the differences in human personality. Studies suggest that about 40–60% of your personality comes from your genes, while the rest is shaped by your environment. Culture also plays an important role in shaping personality. Studies have found that people in East Asian cultures often score higher on conscientiousness and lower on extraversion compared to Westerners. This does not mean East Asians are “born” more hardworking — rather, their culture values these traits more, which encourages people to develop them. Interestingly, personality can even affect your health. People who score high on conscientiousness tend to live longer, partly because they take better care of themselves — they exercise more, eat healthier, and are less likely to take risks. On the other hand, people high in neuroticism may experience more stress, which can harm their physical health over time. The most important thing to remember is that no personality type is “better” than others. Every personality has its strengths. Being quiet and introverted can make you a better listener. Being outgoing can help you build connections. The key is to understand yourself and make the most of who you are. 1．According to the passage, what percentage of personality may come from genes? A．Less than 20%. B．About 30%. C．About 40–60%. D．More than 80%. 2．Which of the following is NOT one of the “Big Five” personality traits? A．Openness. B．Creativity. C．Extraversion. D．Neuroticism. 3．What does the passage say about personality and culture? A．Culture has no effect on personality. B．East Asians are born more hardworking. C．Different cultures value different personality traits. D．Western people are always more outgoing. 4．Why do highly conscientious people tend to live longer? A．They have better genes. B．They take better care of themselves. C．They are more sociable. D．They experience less stress. 5．What is the author’s main message in the last paragraph? A．Some personalities are better. B．You should change your personality. C．Every personality has value. D．Personality cannot be changed. For fifteen years, James worked as an accountant in a big company. Every day, he sat at his desk, staring at rows of numbers and filling in forms. The pay was good, and his parents were proud of him. But every morning, James felt a heavy weight on his chest as he walked into the office. He was not unhappy exactly—he was just empty. One weekend, James visited his old high school. He walked past the art room and looked through the window. Inside, students were painting, laughing and covered in colourful paint. James stood there for a long time. He remembered that he used to love drawing when he was a teenager. His art teacher once told him, “You have a gift, James. Don’t let it die.” But his parents had said art was not a real job, so he had put down his pencils and picked up a calculator. That night, James could not sleep. He kept thinking about the students in the art room—how alive they looked. He realized that he had been living someone else’s dream for fifteen years. The next morning, he went to a stationery shop and bought a set of paints and brushes. That evening, after work, he painted for the first time in years. His hands were shaky, but his heart was full. Six months later, James handed in his resignation. His colleagues thought he was crazy. “You are giving up a safe job for paint and paper?” they asked. James just smiled. He started a small art studio in his garage, teaching children to paint on weekends. The money was less, but the weight on his chest was gone. He had finally found his voice. James often tells his students, “Your life is a canvas. Don’t let anyone else hold the brush.” He knows now that success is not about how much money you make. It is about waking up every morning and feeling grateful for the day ahead. 1．Why did James feel empty even though his job was well-paid? A．He did not get along with his colleagues B．His parents were not satisfied with him C．He had to work very long hours every day D．The job did not match his true interest 2．What made James think about his old love for drawing? A．A letter from his old art teacher B．Seeing students painting in the art room C．A conversation with his parents D．Reading a book about famous artists 3．What does the writer mean by saying “Your life is a canvas. Don’t let anyone else hold the brush”? A．You should control your own life and choices B．Everyone should learn to paint well C．Painting is the best way to become successful D．Other people can make your life more colourful 4．What can we learn from James’s story? A．A safe job is always the best choice B．Parents’ advice should always be followed C．Following your heart can bring true happiness D．It is too late to change jobs when you are old While you might have thought preferring chocolate to vanilla was all about your taste, it turns out that your ice cream choosing may have more to do with your personality. According to a new study, your favourite ice cream taste can tell all kinds of things, from the age when youˈll find love to your taste in films. In the study, which was conducted for ice cream company Breyers by OnePoll, 2,000 Americans were divided into three parts, by whether they prefer chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream. The study found that fans of strawberry ice cream tend to find love at the youngest age, at the age of 24. This was followed by vanilla fans, who fall in love around the age of 25, and chocolate fans, who tend to find love at the age of 26. The study also found that strawberry ice cream lovers are more likely to listen to jazz and enjoy science fiction films. They also tend to enjoy washing clothes. Vanilla fans, on the other hand, donˈt like washing clothes—although theyˈre happy to wash the dishes. They also tend to stay up late, love dogs, and are introverts. Vanilla ice cream eaters are quite different from those who prefer chocolate. Chocolate ice cream lovers are more likely to be extroverts. They also love watching romantic films and prefer to listen to pop and rock music. ▲ According to a study conducted by Baskin-Robbins and Juliet A．Boghossian, those who like ice cream cones “are people who lead with their heart”. Sugar cone eaters “are funny and enjoy the life of the party”, while those who prefer waffle cones to holding their spoons of ice cream “tend to be the host of the party, and are usually caregivers”. Meanwhile, people who prefer to eat their ice cream out of a bowl or a cup “are rational thinkers”. Those who prefer their ice cream without the cone also “are dependable, family-centred and hard-working”. 1．People who prefer eating ________ are more likely to get along well with others quickly.

A．Strawberry ice cream lovers must get married at a very young age. B．People who prefer waffle cones are good at taking care of others. C．People who prefer vanilla ice cream hate doing housework at home. D．Sugar cone eaters always work hard to make money for their families. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．People Have Different Tastes and Eating Ways of Ice Cream B．Your Ice Cream Taste and Eating Ways Say Much About You C．How You Choose Ice Cream Decides Your Hobby D．What Your Favourite Ice Cream Taste Is Do you know how to deal with your feelings when you are upset? Everyone may feel sad, worried or angry sometimes.These feelings are normal, but if you keep bad feelings inside for too long, they will be bad for your health and study. Here are some useful ways to cheer yourself up when you are in a bad mood. First, talk to someone you trust. Many teenagers choose to keep their problems to themselves.They are afraid that others will laugh at them or think they are strange. In fact, talking is the best way to release stress. You can talk to your parents, teachers or close friends. When you share your trouble with them, they may give you some useful advice. Just speaking out your feelings will also make you feel relaxed. Second, do some sports or outdoor activities. Doing exercise can make your body produce special things that make you happy. You can go running, play basketball or swim in your free time. If you don’t like sports, you can take a walk in the park, enjoy the fresh air and beautiful flowers. Being close to nature can calm your mind and drive away bad moods. Third, do something you enjoy. Everyone has hobbies. You can read interesting storybooks, listen to soft music or draw pictures. Hobbies can take your attention away from your troubles. When you put your heart into your favorite things, you will forget unhappiness little by little. You can also watch funny cartoons or comedies. Laughter is the best medicine for a bad mood. Fourth, learn to think in a different way. Sometimes bad feelings come from our wrong ideas. If you fail an exam, don’t always think you are stupid. Instead, find out the reasons and try to do better next time. Learn to accept small mistakes and encourage yourself all the time. Life is full of ups and downs. Bad feelings are just small parts of life. Use these ways properly, and you will become a happy and confident person. 1．Why shouldn’t we keep bad feelings for a long time? A．It will make us lonely.

D．Keep sad all day. ①Public affairs (公共事务), including social, economic, political or business activities, etc, usually influence almost everyone in the society. When it comes to public affairs, some people think that young people are becoming less interested in them. However, that’s not the case. ②Nowadays, people no longer have to wait for a copy of the local or international newspaper to be published before they can learn about the latest event. Only a few people keep the habit of getting information from a specific news media at a fixed time. In fact, gone are the days when people had to depend on newspapers or televisions to know about world events. Technology has greatly helped spread information and everyone, especially young people, can get it any time anywhere. ③As technology develops, websites and apps used for social networking are increasing at an amazing speed, so more chances are provided for young people to learn about public affairs. A survey carried out recently has shown that 94% of young people get up-to-date news from social media platforms at least a few times a day. What’s more, over 65% of them even discuss some serious problems and post their thoughts online on topics like green energy and space exploration. More and more young people make their voices heard about public affairs and offer some advice online. This wave of actions shows that they surely care about our society and would like to make efforts to make it better. ④Besides, young people pay more attention to climate change and are taking an active part in environmental protection for our planet. For example, a 25-year-old girl has planted 150,000 trees and trained hundreds of community members in raising bees. This girl is among millions of young people who are taking the responsibility (责任) of our society. ⑤In a word, young people have strong feelings of turning dreams into realities and are willing to devote themselves to the development of our society, which drives them to build the world better. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指代)? A．Some advice. B．Our society. C．Green energy. D．Space exploration. 2．How does the writer show young people’s attention to public affairs in Paragraph 4? A．By providing an example. B．By carrying out a survey. C．By comparing numbers. D．By having an interview. 3．What is the structure of this passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2…) A． B． C． D． 4．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Interests shape the future of young people. B．Public affairs are worth everyone’s attention. C．Technology influences the spread of information. D．Young people are never absent from public affairs. ① We all have trouble, and often make mistakes. However, many of us find it hard to admit (承认) them to others. So most of us would keep the problems to ourselves. We believe that our trouble and mistakes show our weakness, and we are afraid to let others think we are not good enough. ② The good news is that our worries about the negative (负面的) evaluations (评价) from others may not seem as serious as we imagine. Research suggests that we see our act of showing weakness negatively, but others may not think so. And researchers call this the “beautiful mess effect (效应)”. That means ▲ . ③ This effect can stop us from sharing our true feelings and needs. But sharing feelings can actually have many advantages. For example, studies show that sharing personal information about oneself may help build closeness and trust, while saying sorry sincerely could repair a broken relationship. ④ Some researchers wanted to know how we could deal with the “beautiful mess effect”. Their new experiments (实验) suggest that being self-compassionate (自我同情的) can help. ⑤ In the study, researchers invited 340 university students who had different levels of self-compassion to take part in four experiments. In one of them, students were asked to imagine themselves admitting that they’d made a big mistake. At the same time, they also imagined another person admitting the same mistake. Then, students needed to evaluate this act: Did they see it as an act of showing one’s courage or weakness? ⑥ The study showed that students with low self-compassion evaluated their own act more negatively. Highly self-compassionate students, on the other hand, were not much influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. They were more likely to see admitting mistakes as courage. In a word, self-compassion helps us evaluate our act of showing weakness more fairly, stopping us from being too hard on ourselves. ⑦ Luckily, our level of self-compassion is not fixed and can be raised if we want to. If we love ourselves, we can become more comfortable with showing our weakness. This practice can improve our relationships. 1．Why do people keep their problems to themselves according to the passage? A．To make fewer mistakes. B．To get their problems right. C．To protect their personal information. D．To keep away from negative evaluations. 2．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．we may not be such a mess as we think B．other people always think highly of us C．we need to share our true feelings and needs D．we shouldn’t deal with “beautiful mess effect” 3．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5? A．Taking part in four experiments. B．Evaluating this act. C．Admitting their or others’ mistakes. D．Having different self-compassion. 4．Which of the following is TRUE? A．It will be harder to share our weakness if we love ourselves. B．All the students in the experiment see admitting mistakes as courage. C．Sharing true feelings helps to build a better relationship with others. D．People with high self-compassion were more influenced by the “beautiful mess effect”. 5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Nowadays, people are used to getting quick answers from the Internet. When meeting difficulties, most teenagers prefer to search for ready-made solutions online instead of thinking independently. This habit has gradually weakened their ability to deal with challenges by themselves. However, slow thinking is becoming more and more important in modern life. Slow thinking means taking time to analyze problems, consider different sides and find out deep causes. It is not about being slow-minded, but about thinking carefully and deeply. Quick answers are often simple and surface-level. They can solve small daily problems, but fail to help people face long-term challenges. For example, if a student only copies online answers for homework, he will never truly understand knowledge. When facing new exam problems, he will still feel helpless. Many successful people depend on slow thinking. Marie Curie spent years doing repeated experiments to discover radium. She never gave up after hundreds of failures and thought slowly about each result. Her patience and deep thinking finally led to great achievements. Similarly, great writers and artists always spend a long time improving their works instead of finishing them quickly. Slow thinking also helps people make better decisions. In a fast-paced world, people are easily influenced by hot topics or others’ opinions. If we slow down to think,we can tell right from wrong and avoid blind choices. For teenagers, slow thinking is a necessary skill. It helps them build strong minds, face future difficulties bravely and grow into independent thinkers. We cannot always get perfect results in a short time. True progress comes from deep thinking and long-time efforts. Only when we learn to slow down can we see further and go further in life. 1．What do most teenagers do when they meet problems now? A．They try to solve them by slow thinking. B．They search for ready-made answers online. C．They ask successful people for advice. D．They analyze problems from different sides. 2．What can we infer from Marie Curie’s example? A．Quick answers can solve most serious problems. B．Slow thinking brings great achievements with patience. C．Repeated experiments are useless for scientific research. D．People should finish their work as quickly as possible. 3．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Teenagers should give up using the Internet. B．Quick thinking is more important than slow thinking. C．Slow thinking helps people make progress in life. D．Successful people never meet difficulties in their life. Have you ever tried squatting down (蹲下) to see the world from a “1-meter height”?
