3
Remember that anxiety is just a feeling, like any other feeling. By reminding yourself that anxiety is simply an emotional reaction, you can start to accept it. It just means you would benefit by accepting reality as it is and reality includes anxiety.
Question your thoughts
When people are anxious, their brains start coming up with all sorts of strange thoughts, many of which are unlikely to occur. 4 . You can ask yourself some questions like “Is this really likely to happen?” to challenge your thoughts.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西丰城第九中学·期中)Outdoor exercise offers many choices like running, biking, hiking or other outdoor sports. The health benefits of spending time in nature have long been known to improve both physical and mental health (身心健康). 1 .
Start with what you like. If you haven’t been active for a while, think back to activities you enjoyed years ago. 2 . If you haven’t run for a while and suddenly start sprinting (短跑), you could injure yourself. It’s good for you to choose gentle activities first. Warm up and stretch to avoid those possible injuries.
3 . One benefit of exercising outside is that there’s no need for expensive equipment (装备). Practise strength training by using your body weight and whatever is usable. 4 . You can also practise sit-ups on some grass. Repeat 8 to 10 times, or no more than you are comfortable with, and add sets with short breaks in between as you get stronger.
Stay encouraged — even in bad weather. When it rains or the weather turns colder, it helps to remember these words: 5 . Buy a jacket that breathes and a light hat you can use on sunny or rainy days. Having an exercise partner waiting for you can help keep you encouraged. And setting a goal to work toward — such as a charity walk or a marathon — can also help keep you going.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)Exams and tests are your chance to show what you have learned. It is completely normal to feel nervous. This is where mindfulness can help. 1 Practicing it before an exam can help you stay focused, feel more confident, and do your best. Here are some simple mindful practices to try before your next test.
Take a deep breath. One of the easiest and most effective mindful practices is deep breathing. Just sit quietly and focus on your breathing for one minute. 2 Doing this right before a test can help calm you down and bring your mind to the present, so you can focus better.
Write it down. Writing in a journal is a powerful way to deal with stress. If you make a habit of writing about your positive feelings, it can help you let go of exam worries. Over time, this can even reduce test anxiety. You don’t need to write a lot. 3
Think with gratitude (感激). It might sound unusual, but feeling thankful before an exam is both helpful and possible! 4 For example, taking a test means you are getting an education, which is a valuable opportunity. Also, finishing exams often means a holiday or break is coming. Thinking about these positive aspects can make you feel more grateful and relaxed.
5 Encouraging words are short, powerful ones that can make you feel strong and energetic. Saying things like “I can do this” or “I am prepared” to yourself can build your confidence. Remember, everyone is different, so the words that work for you may not be the same for others.
A. Try to focus on the good things.
B. Care about something you hope to get.
C. Use positive words to encourage yourself.
D. Pay attention to your breath moving in and out.
E. A few sentences about what you are feeling can help.
F. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment.
G. These techniques help you feel much calmer during your exams.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭余江区第一中学·期中)Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, can strike at any time and cause serious harm. 1 . Below are some clear measures you can follow to prevent danger, and act safely if a disaster hits.
·Build an emergency kit. 2 : a flashlight, a first-aid kit, bottled water, food (such as energy bars), and a basic tool like a knife. Don’t forget copies of important documents (passport, ID). Keep your kit in a place you can reach in seconds.
·Know local risks and evacuation routes (疏散路线). Find out which natural disasters are common in your area—earthquakes, floods, or storms — and research the nearest shelter, high ground, or safe room. 3 . Practice following these routes so that, in an emergency, you can move calmly and quickly.
· 4 . Schedule the exercises at least twice a year, which can help you remember what to do under pressure. Practice “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” for earthquakes, or “Get Low and Go” for floods. Additionally, practice basic first-aid skills, such as treating cuts, burns, or shock. If you master these skills, you can help yourself and others before professional rescuers arrive.
·Stay informed and communicate clearly. Always have a reliable way to receive updates when power fails. You can sign up for local warning systems and follow official social-media accounts. agree on a family or group meeting point and an out-of-area contact person — someone who can call (relay) messages if local lines are down. 5
A. Practice safety procedures regularly.
B. Keep calm in the face of a natural disaster.
C. Gather necessary things in one easy-to-carry bag.

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·江西南昌市外国语学校·期中)How to Focus
Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. 1
1. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. 2 It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.
2. Meditate(沉思). Meditating is more than a great way to relax. 3 When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.
3. Read more. 4 Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.
4. Multi-task less. 5 However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you will see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half.
A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus.
B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!
C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.
D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.
E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly.
F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook?
G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)The Best Way to Learn a New Skill
Imagine you want to learn a new skill — playing tennis, speaking Chinese, or playing the violin. 1 But according to science, the key to learning new skills isn’t really about muscles (肌肉) and simple repetitive practice, but about deep practice. How do you do deep practice? Here are some tips.
* 2
Playing a hole of golf means making dozens of different strikes (击), but those strikes can be broken down further into different steps — grips, postures, arm movements... Don’t try to eat the whole elephant at once. Try playing one note of music, not the whole piece. Speak one sentence or one word of a new language, not a paragraph.
* Go slowly.
Slowness is clearly a by-product (副产品) of breaking things down. 3 When you take your time, you give your brain enough space to connect each small action to the correct result, turning a mechanical movement into a controlled skill.
* Back up after mistakes and correct yourself.
Mistakes are a necessary part of learning, and probably the most important. When a mistake appears, stop, find it out and correct it. Don’t show any pity on mistakes. Repeat the process (过程): several times to recognise and master a certain skill. 4
* Practise properly.
5 Because deep practice requires you to fully focus on every detail of the small skill you’re breaking down, and such focus quickly uses up your energy. Three to five hours a day is the most you need to do. If you push beyond this, your focus will drop sharply, and you may even form wrong habits by practising carelessly.
A. Try something new bravely.
B. Break learning down into small parts.
C. But it also includes taking action slowly.
D. Deep practice periods don’t need to be long.
E. It is necessary for you to spend many hours practising every day.
F. It is this process that makes deep practice different from simple repetition.
G. You’ve probably heard about the importance of developing muscle memory.
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)Self-care is important for staying healthy, especially when we’re busy with school, friends, and family tasks. An important part of self-care is saving time for yourself. This means you need to say “no” to some things sometimes. 1 How can you do it? Here are some helpful tips.
2 If your classmates ask you to help them with a project tonight, but you have planned to rest, don’t wait until evening to say “no”. The longer you put it off, the more awkward it gets. Instead, tell them right away. This way, they can ask someone else, and you won’t feel stressed about letting them down later.
Be honest about your reasons. When you say “no”, don’t make up excuses. Lying might cause trouble later — your friend could find out and feel hurt. So just tell the truth. 3 They’ll understand that your needs matter too.
Suggest another time or activity. 4 If your friend wants to go shopping on Saturday, but you’re too tired, try saying, “I can’t shop this Saturday, but what about a short coffee break next Tuesday?” If you have too much schoolwork and can’t meet a deadline (截止日期), ask your teacher for more time. This shows you value their request, even when you can’t say “yes”.
It’s common to feel guilty (内疚的) when you say “no” at first. You might worry you’re being selfish (自私的) or letting people down. But self-care isn’t selfish — it helps you stay in a good mood so you can help others better later. 5
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Say “no” as soon as you can.
C. But saying “no” nicely isn’t always easy.
D. Saying “no” doesn’t have to end the plan completely.
E. This honesty helps your loved ones know your schedule.
F. So don’t let that guilt stop you from taking care of yourself.
G. Almost everyone likes making friends with an honest person.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西宜春丰城市第九中学·期中)Characteristics of an excellent scientist
The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences. 1 Let’s look at some characteristics of an excellent scientist.
Curiosity
An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. 2
Patience
Becoming a scientist takes a long time. 3 Even if you think you have received some education in science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification type of person, this may not be the best choice for you.
Ethical (道德的) qualities
In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment, since they are linked and they can affect one another in the long run. 4 Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.
Working habits
5 In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new.
A. To make discoveries, you have to think differently.
B. There are very few jobs that take longer than this one.
C. It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods.
D. One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory.
E. An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation and keeps it in mind.
F. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal interests or public opinion.
G. Without a drive to ask questions or even wonder, a scientist will never get to the first stage of the scientific process.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·江西南昌第二中学·期中)Is it ever too late to learn a new skill? The answer is: absolutely not! 1 It can change your life in many ways—from boosting your career to helping you discover a new interest. All you need is focus and some helpful learning strategies.
Teach yourself using many sources. The best learning materials vary based on the skill you want to develop. 2 There are many learning materials that are free to use, including textbooks, online videos, and even blog posts. Do an online search for sources and check your local library for helpful books.
Learn through practical experience. The most effective way to learn something is just to do it! Books and tutorials (教程) are excellent primers (入门指南), but try to start performing the new skill as soon as possible. Learn through trial and error rather than spending all your time on theories and memorization. 3
Teach someone else. Teaching a skill enables you to understand it better. Why? By teaching someone else, you first have to think about the skill or subject and break it down into easily explainable pieces. 4 You can also make an informative presentation about the subject or start a blog about your learning process.
5 A plan will help you stay on track with your new pursuit (爱好). Devote at least 20 hours to learning the skill; research shows that spending 20 hours on any skill will greatly improve your understanding and ability. Reserve practice time for days when you have plenty of free time and the time of day when you feel most alert (机敏的).
A. Give yourself tests.
B. Set a study or practice schedule.
C. Learning new things is beneficial at any age.
D. You can learn new things without paying for a class.
E. Ask people you know if they can recommend a teacher to you.
F. The better you can explain something, the better you understand it.
G. Apply the ideas you’ve learned and find out what works best for you in practice.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·江西崇仁县第一中学·期中)Steps to Create a New Page in Your Life
If you could talk to your younger self again, what would you tell them? For me, the best advice would be to be stronger, because life is only going to get harder. I had many problems in the past but I’ve changed for the better. So, turning your life around can be easy if you truly believe in yourself. 1 Now, turn the pages of your own life and move on from every struggle.
Draw A Line Mentally
Life will throw many problems your way, and you need to be mentally prepared for them. However, you might find yourself stuck in the same bad situations. 2 This line will help you mark your future decisions. Everything before it was part of the problem; everything after will be part of the solution. The secret over here is to never stop trying.
3
Many of us make a common mistake: we try to handle everything alone. In order to get out of this situation, you must be willing to talk with others — people you are close to, like family or friends. Make sure that the communication is actually beneficial in some way. When you start learning and depending on others, you notice the different patterns that made them successful.
Let Go Of Your Past
To move on, you must let go of the past, guilt, and resentment (怨恨). Bad feelings will only make you tired physically and mentally. You should forgive (原谅) those who hurt you and start anew. I have learned something important from my experience — it’s easy to forgive others but hard to forgive ourselves. We must do so to begin the next chapter. 4
Do What Actually Works
In order to get out of a difficult situation, you have to do what works right? Well, most people get busy doing the things that don’t get them anywhere. For example, many people turn to alcohol or smoking to reduce the stress, which just kills them slowly. Live in reality to make wise choices for yourself. 5 Yes, actively and always engaging in battles and struggles is going to be very hard, but being stuck in pain and self-resentment will be even harder.
A. Learn From Others.
B. Handle everything alone.
C. So you need to draw a mental line.
D. Everyone makes mistakes — it’s what makes us humans.
E. After all, you only have yourself to depend on in this world.
F. The most important thing you need to do is look at the future.
G. Don’t follow the path to anger and destroy what is good for you.
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·江西莲花中学·期中)Going from middle school to the freshman year of high school is a big change. 1 .
Be open to new friendships.
High school is all about experiencing new things, including new friendships. Getting to know people you haven’t met before is a great way to broaden your horizons. 2 Simply sitting with a new person at lunch can be enough to get the ball rolling.
Explore the campus.
For most people, going off to senior high school means heading to a completely new campus. 3 . They might be able to show you around the campus, which will make you a bit more confident as you go on with your freshman year.
Get organised.
Senior high school and junior high school are very different. 4 . You can buy a planner and spend a few minutes each night going over the notes you took in class that day. Staying on top of your studies will make the transition(过渡) from middle school to high school much easier.
5 .
While there’s no need to plan every day for the next three years, it can’t hurt to make a note of classes you want to take or activities you’d like to try. Believe it or not, the three years will go by really fast. Having a plan in place will help you make the most of your high school experience.
A. Create a three-year plan.
B. Be open to new experiences.
C. If you’re nervous, start small.
D. That way, you’ll have a better idea of some of the things you can expect.

F. If you worry about the unknown, reach out to the school and see if someone can help.
G. Here are some ways to help you deal with anxiety and prepare for the first year.
Passage 7
(25-26高一上·江西多校联考·期中)How much pocket money do you get, if any? Is it a regular (定期的) or just occasional (偶尔的) payments for daily small tasks? 1 — how much to give, whether to check spending, what rules to set and how to balance teaching life lessons with avoiding giving too much to their children.
Giving children pocket money offers more than just extra-it can provide valuable and practical lessons in managing their money. 2 . Once it is spent, there’s no more until the next time. This can help them learn to be careful about the amount of money they spend and make better decisions. For example, they might save up for something big rather than spending small amounts immediately.
3 , teaching kids that hard work and good behaviour are rewarded. A manager of a money management app (应用软件) for children says that earning money through daily small tasks encourages independence and gives more satisfaction than instant prizes. As they grow older, young people may move on to part-time work such as babysitting, dog walking, and so on.
Pocket money used to mean physical cash (现金). But in today’s digital world, families are using little cash in daily life. 4 , which allow both children and parents to check spending quickly and conveniently. This modern approach helps prepare children for adult life, where most deals are digital.
5 . But learning to spend wisely and save carefully can help children build a healthy relationship with money that continues into adulthood.
A. There’s no perfect way for pocket money
B. Many parents sign their children up for special courses
C. Some parents connect pocket money to household tasks
D. This means children need new ways to get pocket money
E. One of the first things children can learn is that money is limited
F. Parents around the world have different ideas about pocket money
G. Some companies now offer some apps for online money management
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西师范大学附属中学·期中)Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn... . The ways to connect with of us on social media are limitless. 1 Here’s what not to do.
People are extremely particular when it comes to sharing pictures on social media. So, don’t post pictures of people without their permission. While you may not think posting the picture is a big deal, the other person may disagree. 2 It will help you avoid upsetting your loved ones.
Just got a new job? Bought a new car? You have got promoted? Or maybe you decided you’re moving? Don’t tweet or post your news to the world before sharing it with your loved ones. A love relationship largely depends on safety and security and the chance to get inside information is an important part of that. 3
Social media is public. 4 It’s possible to accidentally hurt loved ones by oversharing. Every relationship is different, so talk to your loved ones before sharing anything you doubt may be borderline too much. Oversharing is one of several habits that destroy trust in relationships.
5 If you’re upset and you have the urge to post something that may come off as mean, put down your phone, computer, or tablet and express your anger in another way. It is recommended that you use social media as a tool to spread positivity, such as birthday posts or meaningful articles.
A. Just ask before you do that.
B. Don’t view social media as only bad.
C. Never use social media when you’re mad.
D. These signs confirm that your relationship is rock solid.
E. You shouldn’t be sharing private information with the world.
F. In many ways, social media has made our world a better place.
G. However, don’t let your online life negatively affect your real life.
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)If you’ve tried and failed to stick to a fitness plan in the past, you may feel like you’ll never be the type of person who exercises regularly and enjoys it or that you’ll never find the time to exercise in the first place. 1 Here are some tips that can help.
Set a time
2 If you don’t set a time, there’s a chance you may put off exercise until you feel more motivated (有积极性的) or less tired. And the more often you do this, the harder it will become to turn your workouts into a habit.
Make it fun
You’ll find it hard to make exercise a daily habit if you view it as a chore (苦差事), so make it fun. 3 If you enjoy walking when it’s quiet outside, take advantage of early mornings.
Reward (奖励) your efforts
Exercise takes effort, so reward that effort. If your gym shoes aren’t up to the task, buy a new pair. Do whatever you can to make exercise a habit. 4 Don’t be hard on yourself.
Life will sometimes get in the way of your daily exercise routine (常规). 5 But don’t give up or give yourself a hard time. Just get back to working out as soon as you can.
A. It’s better to exercise with a friend.
B. But getting into a workout habit is possible.
C. If you’ve taken up walking, track your daily steps.
D. Then give yourself a treat for keeping exercising.
E. If you love music, fill your ears with inspiring songs while exercising.
F. Decide on a time of day to exercise that works best for you and stick to it.
G. Illness, family and work responsibilities all can mess up your workout plans.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇·期中)Fiber (纤维) is really good for our health. It helps control blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduce inflammation (炎症). 1 Here’s some advice.
Take baby steps
If you don’t eat a lot of fiber, the key is to start slowly. That’s because high-fiber diets can make some people have gas and bloating. The gas is a result of fiber being fermented (发酵) by the microbes in your gut. 2
Focus on getting fiber from different plant-based foods
Researchers say the best way to get fiber is from various plant-based foods. 3 Think about sweet potatoes, avocados, pears and pumpkin seeds. These foods not only have a lot of fiber but also contain other vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that are good for our health.
Check the freezer section
Raspberries and blackberries are some of my favorite fiber sources—one cup of either has about 8 grams of fiber. But they can be expensive. So I buy them both frozen and fresh. Frozen berries are usually cheaper, and last much longer. 4
Notice how high-fiber foods affect you
When you eat more fiber, you might want to write down how different high-fiber foods affect you. Everyone is different. Some people may be more sensitive to certain types of fiber than others. For example, I love chia seeds, but if I eat more than 2 spoons in a day, my digestive system doesn’t feel good.
5
When you add more fiber to your diet, make sure to drink enough water too. Water can help fiber move through your body and stop it from becoming hard, which can cause more gas and constipation.
A. Don’t forget to drink water
B. Too much water brings more harm than good
C. So, how can we add more fiber to our diets?
D. And bloating is really dangerous for your health.
E. I also like to have frozen artichokes and spinach ready.
F. That means eating different fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts.
G. You should increase your fiber intake little by little so that your body has time to get used to it.

(相反,停下来,深呼吸,关注现在正在发生的事情。)”否定了上文的做法,要我们关注现在正在发生的事情,且其中“pay attention to what’s happening right now”与标题相照应,符合语境,故选G项。
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西丰城第九中学·期中)Outdoor exercise offers many choices like running, biking, hiking or other outdoor sports. The health benefits of spending time in nature have long been known to improve both physical and mental health (身心健康). 1 .
Start with what you like. If you haven’t been active for a while, think back to activities you enjoyed years ago. 2 . If you haven’t run for a while and suddenly start sprinting (短跑), you could injure yourself. It’s good for you to choose gentle activities first. Warm up and stretch to avoid those possible injuries.
3 . One benefit of exercising outside is that there’s no need for expensive equipment (装备). Practise strength training by using your body weight and whatever is usable. 4 . You can also practise sit-ups on some grass. Repeat 8 to 10 times, or no more than you are comfortable with, and add sets with short breaks in between as you get stronger.
Stay encouraged — even in bad weather. When it rains or the weather turns colder, it helps to remember these words: 5 . Buy a jacket that breathes and a light hat you can use on sunny or rainy days. Having an exercise partner waiting for you can help keep you encouraged. And setting a goal to work toward — such as a charity walk or a marathon — can also help keep you going.
A. They will make exercise interesting
B. Build strength with what’s around
C. There’s no success without hard work
D. There’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes
E. For example, find a picnic table or a low wall to do half push-ups
F. Here’s advice from training experts on getting into outdoor exercise
G. However, be fully prepared before jumping back into a sport you used to play

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)Exams and tests are your chance to show what you have learned. It is completely normal to feel nervous. This is where mindfulness can help. 1 Practicing it before an exam can help you stay focused, feel more confident, and do your best. Here are some simple mindful practices to try before your next test.
Take a deep breath. One of the easiest and most effective mindful practices is deep breathing. Just sit quietly and focus on your breathing for one minute. 2 Doing this right before a test can help calm you down and bring your mind to the present, so you can focus better.
Write it down. Writing in a journal is a powerful way to deal with stress. If you make a habit of writing about your positive feelings, it can help you let go of exam worries. Over time, this can even reduce test anxiety. You don’t need to write a lot. 3
Think with gratitude (感激). It might sound unusual, but feeling thankful before an exam is both helpful and possible! 4 For example, taking a test means you are getting an education, which is a valuable opportunity. Also, finishing exams often means a holiday or break is coming. Thinking about these positive aspects can make you feel more grateful and relaxed.
5 Encouraging words are short, powerful ones that can make you feel strong and energetic. Saying things like “I can do this” or “I am prepared” to yourself can build your confidence. Remember, everyone is different, so the words that work for you may not be the same for others.
A. Try to focus on the good things.
B. Care about something you hope to get.
C. Use positive words to encourage yourself.
D. Pay attention to your breath moving in and out.
E. A few sentences about what you are feeling can help.
F. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment.
G. These techniques help you feel much calmer during your exams.
【答案】1. F 2. D 3. E 4. A 5. C
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。介绍了四种有助于考试前放松的正念练习方法。

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·江西南昌市外国语学校·期中)How to Focus
Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn to avoid distractions and to be prepared with a focus-filled game plan before you set out to accomplish a task. 1
1. Build up your focus stamina (耐力). Each person may start off with a certain amount of “focus stamina” but this is something that can be improved over time. To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task. 2 It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.
2. Meditate(沉思). Meditating is more than a great way to relax. 3 When you meditate, you’ll be focusing on clearing your head and concentrating on your body and breath. You can easily transfer these skills to clearing your head and focusing on the work ahead of you.
3. Read more. 4 Try reading something without stopping for just thirty minutes, and slowly build your stamina to reading for an hour or even two hours with only short breaks. Being able to focus on the material in front of you will help you learn to focus on your work.
4. Multi-task less. 5 However, it is actually harmful to your concentration. When you multi-task, you’re not putting all of your focus and energy into any one task, which actually harms your concentration. Work on getting just one thing done at a time and you will see that you get this done more quickly. Chatting with your friends online while, getting work done is one of the worst forms of multi-tasking. Chatting with a friend can slow your productivity down by half.
A. Reading is a great way to build up your focus.
B. If you want to know how to focus like a laser, just follow these steps!
C. Keep going until you feel you need to stop, and try to focus for longer the next day.
D. When that time passes, see how long you can keep going before actually stopping.
E. Many people think getting two or three things done at once is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly.
F. Did you waste your whole day reading random articles that people posted on Facebook?
G. If you meditate for just 10 to 20 minutes every day, you will slowly improve your focus.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. G 4. A 5. E
【解析】这是一篇说明文。提高你的专注力可以让你成为一个更好的学生或员工,以及一个更快乐和更有条理的人。文章对如何提高专注力提出了建议。
(1)题解析:
根据第二段第一句“Build up your focus stamina (耐力).”(增强你的专注力。),第三段第一句“Meditate(沉思). ”,第四段第一句“Read more.”(阅读更多。)等可知,接下来是提出建议,所以选项B(如果你想知道如何像激光一样聚焦,只需遵循以下步骤!)切合文意。故选B。
(2)题解析:
根据前文“To build your focus stamina, just give yourself a certain amount of time to do nothing but work on a certain task.”(要培养专注力,就给自己一定的时间,什么都不做,只做某项任务。)可知,选项D中的that time是指a certain amount of time,根据后文“It may be just another five minutes or another half hour.”(可能只是再过5分钟或半小时。)可知,it是指选项D中的how long。所以选项D(当时间过去,看看你能坚持多久才真正停止。)切合文意。故选D。
(3)题解析:
根据前文“Meditating is more than a great way to relax.”(沉思不仅仅是一种放松的好方法。)可知,此处是讲沉思的好处,所以选项G(如果你每天沉思10到20分钟,你就会慢慢地提高你的注意力。)切合文意。故选G。
(4)题解析:
根据前文“Read more.”(多阅读)可知,此处是讲阅读对提高专注力的好处,所以选项A(阅读是培养注意力的好方法。)切合文意。故选A。
(5)题解析:
前文“Multi-task less.”(少同时做多项任务)对应选项E中的“getting two or three things done at once”(同时做两三件事),后文“it is actually harmful to your concentration”(它实际上对你的注意力是有害的)和选项E(很多人认为同时做两到三件事是更快完成目标的好方法。)构成转折关系,对应转折词however。所以选项E切合文意。故选E。
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西鹰潭贵溪市第一中学·期中)The Best Way to Learn a New Skill
Imagine you want to learn a new skill — playing tennis, speaking Chinese, or playing the violin. 1 But according to science, the key to learning new skills isn’t really about muscles (肌肉) and simple repetitive practice, but about deep practice. How do you do deep practice? Here are some tips.
* 2
Playing a hole of golf means making dozens of different strikes (击), but those strikes can be broken down further into different steps — grips, postures, arm movements... Don’t try to eat the whole elephant at once. Try playing one note of music, not the whole piece. Speak one sentence or one word of a new language, not a paragraph.
* Go slowly.
Slowness is clearly a by-product (副产品) of breaking things down. 3 When you take your time, you give your brain enough space to connect each small action to the correct result, turning a mechanical movement into a controlled skill.
* Back up after mistakes and correct yourself.
Mistakes are a necessary part of learning, and probably the most important. When a mistake appears, stop, find it out and correct it. Don’t show any pity on mistakes. Repeat the process (过程): several times to recognise and master a certain skill. 4
* Practise properly.
5 Because deep practice requires you to fully focus on every detail of the small skill you’re breaking down, and such focus quickly uses up your energy. Three to five hours a day is the most you need to do. If you push beyond this, your focus will drop sharply, and you may even form wrong habits by practising carelessly.
A. Try something new bravely.
B. Break learning down into small parts.
C. But it also includes taking action slowly.
D. Deep practice periods don’t need to be long.
E. It is necessary for you to spend many hours practising every day.
F. It is this process that makes deep practice different from simple repetition.
G. You’ve probably heard about the importance of developing muscle memory.
【答案】1. G 2. B 3. C 4. F 5. D
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与自我。文章主要介绍了通过深度练习来掌握一项新技能的方法。
(1)题解析:
根据前文“Imagine you want to learn a new skill — playing tennis, speaking Chinese, or playing the violin.(想象一下你想学习一项新技能——打网球、说中文或拉小提琴。)”和后文“But according to science, the key to learning new skills isn’t really about muscles and simple repetitive practice, but about deep practice.(但根据科学研究,学习新技能的关键并不是肌肉和简单的重复练习,而是深度练习。)”可知,空格处应提到传统认知中学习新技能的相关说法,与后文“深度练习”形成对比,G 选项“You’ve probably heard about the importance of developing muscle memory.(你可能听说过培养肌肉记忆的重要性。)”体现了传统“重复练习形成肌肉记忆”的理念,承接前文的新技能学习场景,通过后文“But”转折引出核心观点,符合语境。故选 G 项。
(2)题解析:
根据后文“Playing a hole of golf means making dozens of different strikes, but those strikes can be broken down further into different steps — grips, postures, arm movements... Don’t try to eat the whole elephant at once. Try playing one note of music, not the whole piece.(打一场高尔夫球需要进行几十次不同的击球,但这些击球还可以进一步分解成不同的步骤——握杆、姿势、手臂动作……不要试图一口吃成胖子。试着演奏一个音符,而不是一整首曲子。)”可知,本段核心是将学习内容拆分成小部分,B选项“Break learning down into small parts.(把学习内容拆分成小部分。)”作为本段小标题,概括了后文的拆分技巧,符合语境。故选B项。
(3)题解析:
根据前文“Slowness is clearly a by-product of breaking things down.(放慢速度显然是拆分内容后的一个副产品。)”和后文“When you take your time, you give your brain enough space to connect each small action to the correct result, turning a mechanical movement into a controlled skill.(当你放慢速度时,你会给大脑足够的空间将每个小动作与正确的结果联系起来,把机械的动作变成可控的技能。)”可知,空格处应进一步说明“放慢速度”的内涵,C选项“But it also includes taking action slowly.(但它也包括缓慢地采取行动。)”中的“it”指代前文的“深度练习中的放慢速度”,承接“副产品”的说法,又引出后文放慢速度的好处,符合语境。故选C项。
(4)题解析:
根据前文“Mistakes are a necessary part of learning, and probably the most important. When a mistake appears, stop, find it out and correct it. Don’t show any pity on mistakes. Repeat the process several times to recognise and master a certain skill.(错误是学习中必要的一部分,而且可能是最重要的。当错误出现时,停下来,找出错误并改正它。不要对错误心软。重复这个过程几次,以识别并掌握某项技能。)”可知,空格处应总结“发现错误、改正错误、重复练习”这一过程的意义,F选项“It is this process that makes deep practice different from simple repetition.(正是这个过程使得深度练习有别于简单的重复。)”中的“this process”指代前文的纠错重复过程,呼应开头“深度练习而非简单重复”的核心观点,符合语境。故选F项。
(5)题解析:
根据后文“Because deep practice requires you to fully focus on every detail of the small skill you’re breaking down, and such focus quickly uses up your energy. Three to five hours a day is the most you need to do.(因为深度练习需要你完全专注于你正在拆分的小技能的每个细节,而这种专注会很快耗尽你的精力。每天3到5个小时是你最多需要做的。)”可知,本段核心是深度练习无需长时间进行,D选项“Deep practice periods don’t need to be long.(深度练习的时间不需要太长。)”作为本段主旨句,引出后文的原因解释和时间建议,符合语境。故选D项。
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西省部分学校·期中)Self-care is important for staying healthy, especially when we’re busy with school, friends, and family tasks. An important part of self-care is saving time for yourself. This means you need to say “no” to some things sometimes. 1 How can you do it? Here are some helpful tips.
2 If your classmates ask you to help them with a project tonight, but you have planned to rest, don’t wait until evening to say “no”. The longer you put it off, the more awkward it gets. Instead, tell them right away. This way, they can ask someone else, and you won’t feel stressed about letting them down later.
Be honest about your reasons. When you say “no”, don’t make up excuses. Lying might cause trouble later — your friend could find out and feel hurt. So just tell the truth. 3 They’ll understand that your needs matter too.
Suggest another time or activity. 4 If your friend wants to go shopping on Saturday, but you’re too tired, try saying, “I can’t shop this Saturday, but what about a short coffee break next Tuesday?” If you have too much schoolwork and can’t meet a deadline (截止日期), ask your teacher for more time. This shows you value their request, even when you can’t say “yes”.
It’s common to feel guilty (内疚的) when you say “no” at first. You might worry you’re being selfish (自私的) or letting people down. But self-care isn’t selfish — it helps you stay in a good mood so you can help others better later. 5
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Say “no” as soon as you can.
C. But saying “no” nicely isn’t always easy.
D. Saying “no” doesn’t have to end the plan completely.
E. This honesty helps your loved ones know your schedule.
F. So don’t let that guilt stop you from taking care of yourself.
G. Almost everyone likes making friends with an honest person.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. E 4. D 5. F
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文,围绕“自我关怀中如何委婉说“不””展开,指出忙碌时为自己留时间需学会拒绝,随后从及时拒绝、坦诚说明理由、提出替代方案三个方面给出实用建议。
(1)题解析:
根据上文“This means you need to say “no” to some things sometimes.(这意味着你有时需要对一些事情说“不”。)”以及下文“How can you do it? Here are some helpful tips. (你该怎么做呢?以下是一些实用建议。)”可知,前文提出“需要说“不””的观点,下文引出“如何做”的建议,此空应衔接上下文,说明“说“不””并非易事,从而自然引出后续技巧。C选项“But saying “no” nicely isn’t always easy. (但委婉地说“不”并不总是那么容易。)”中的“But”形成转折,既承接前文“需要说“不””,又点出“说“不”的难度”,为下文“提供建议”做铺垫,符合逻辑。故选C项。
(2)题解析:
分析语篇结构,此处应为段落小标题,与其他小标题格式一致(祈使句),且需概括本段核心内容。根据下文“If your classmates ask you to help them with a project tonight, but you have planned to rest, don’t wait until evening to say “no”. The longer you put it off, the more awkward it gets. Instead, tell them right away. (如果同学邀请你今晚帮忙做项目,但你原本计划休息,就别等到晚上才说 “不”。拖延得越久,场面就会越尴尬。相反,要立刻跟他们说清楚。)”可知,本段核心是“及时说“不”,不要拖延”。B选项“Say “no” as soon as you can. (尽快说“不”。)”为祈使句格式,精准概括了本段“不拖延、及时拒绝”的主题,“as soon as you can”与下文“tell them right away”同义呼应,适合作小标题。故选B项。
(3)题解析:
根据上文“When you say “no”, don’t make up excuses. Lying might cause trouble later—your friend could find out and feel hurt. So just tell the truth. (当你说 “不” 的时候,不要编造借口。撒谎日后可能会引发麻烦 —— 朋友或许会发现真相,进而感到受伤。所以,只需如实说明就好。)”可知,本段强调“坦诚说明拒绝的理由”,此空应说明“坦诚”的好处。E选项“This honesty helps your loved ones know your schedule. (这种坦诚能让你爱的人了解你的日程安排。)”中的“This honesty”指代上文“tell the truth”,“helps your loved ones know your schedule”明确了坦诚的具体作用——让他人了解你的情况,从而理解你的拒绝,与下文“They’ll understand that your needs matter too. (他们会明白你的需求也很重要。)”形成逻辑衔接,符合语境。故选E项。
(4)题解析:
根据上文“Suggest another time or activity. (提出另一个时间或活动。)”可知,本段核心建议是“拒绝时给出替代方案”,此空应进一步解释该建议的意义。D选项“Saying “no” doesn’t have to end the plan completely. (说“不”并不一定意味着完全终止计划。)”承接小标题“提出替代方案”,点明该建议的核心逻辑:拒绝当下的请求,但不否定未来的可能性,与下文举例“I can’t shop this Saturday, but what about a short coffee break next Tuesday? (我这周六不能去购物,但下周二小聚喝杯咖啡怎么样?)”形成呼应,具体阐释了“不终止计划”的实现方式,符合语境。故选D项。
(5)题解析:
根据上文“It’s common to feel guilty (内疚的) when you say“no” at first. You might worry you’re being selfish (自私的) or letting people down. But self-care isn’t selfish—it helps you stay in a good mood so you can help others better later. (一开始说 “不” 时,感到内疚是很正常的。你可能会担心自己显得自私,或是让别人失望。但自我关怀并非自私 —— 它能帮你保持良好心态,这样之后你才能更好地帮助他人。)”可知,前文先说明“说“不”会感到内疚”的普遍情况,再反驳“内疚”的合理性,此空应承接上文,鼓励读者不要被内疚阻碍自我关怀。F选项“So don’t let that guilt stop you from taking care of yourself. (所以不要让这种内疚阻止你照顾自己。)”中的“So”总结前文观点,“don’t let that guilt stop you”直接回应上文“感到内疚”的问题,强化“自我关怀很重要”的核心主题,符合语境。故选F项。

An excellent scientist must be very curious about things. Scientists such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse discovered things mainly because they wanted to know how things work. 2
Patience
Becoming a scientist takes a long time. 3 Even if you think you have received some education in science, you still have a lot of scientific research to do. If you’re an instant-gratification type of person, this may not be the best choice for you.
Ethical (道德的) qualities
In order to truly discover and use knowledge for the greater good, a scientist must have a desire to improve people’s life as well as the environment, since they are linked and they can affect one another in the long run. 4 Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.
Working habits
5 In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new.
A. To make discoveries, you have to think differently.
B. There are very few jobs that take longer than this one.
C. It also defines a scientist as someone who uses scientific methods.
D. One of the main places that many scientists work in is the research laboratory.
E. An excellent scientist even takes notes of the smallest observation and keeps it in mind.
F. A scientist must report findings honestly regardless of personal interests or public opinion.
G. Without a drive to ask questions or even wonder, a scientist will never get to the first stage of the scientific process.

本文是一篇说明文。成功绝非偶然,文章主要说明了成功的科学家都有一些特别的品质。
(1)题解析:
根据上文“The dictionary defines a scientist as a person having professional knowledge of one or more sciences, especially natural sciences.(字典将科学家定义为具有一门或多门科学专业知识的人,尤其是自然科学)”可知,上文提到了字典对科学家这一名词的解释和理解。C项“它还将科学家定义为使用科学方法的人”接着解释这一名词,与上句构成并列关系,符合逻辑,其中“also”是关键信息。故选C。
(2)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Curiosity(好奇心)”以及上文“An excellent scientist must be very curious about things.(一个优秀的科学家必须对事物充满好奇心)”可知,该段说明科学家要具备的一个品质就是有好奇心。空格处应该与“好奇心”有关,所以G项“如果一个科学家没有发问甚至好奇的动力,他/她就永远无法进入科学过程的第一阶段”符合语境。故选G。
(3)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Patience(耐心)”以及上文“Becoming a scientist takes a long time.(成为一名科学家需要很长时间)”可知,成为科学家需要很长的时间并且需要一定的耐心。由此推知空格处应该介绍与“耐心”有关的内容。故B项“很少有工作比这个工作需要更长的时间”符合语境。故选B。
(4)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Ethical qualities(道德品质)”以及下文“Sticking to an old belief in contradiction to proof is dishonest. However, that belief shouldn’t be changed without powerful evidence.(坚持用矛盾来证明的旧信念是不诚实的。然而,在没有有力证据的情况下,这种信念不应该改变)”可知,科学家要诚实、坚持真理,这是科学家特征的体现。由此推知,空格处应该介绍与科学家的“道德品质”有关的内容。F项“科学家必须诚实地报告研究结果,而不考虑个人利益或舆论”符合语境。故选F。
(5)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Working habits(工作习惯)”以及后文“In addition to this, he/ she can work well alone or in groups, depending on what’s needed, and he/ she also needs to communicate thoughts on paper and verbally. Networking connects him/ her with colleagues working on similar projects where he/ she may discover something new.(除此之外,根据需要,他/她可以很好地单独或小组工作,他/她还需要在纸上和口头上交流想法。网络将他/她与从事类似项目的同事联系起来,在那里他/她可能会发现一些新的东西)”可知,本段主要讲工作习惯,且下句介绍了科学家良好的工作习惯和工作能力。故E项“一个优秀的科学家甚至会记下最微小的观察结果并牢记在心”也是工作习惯。故选 E。

Teach yourself using many sources. The best learning materials vary based on the skill you want to develop. 2 There are many learning materials that are free to use, including textbooks, online videos, and even blog posts.

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·江西崇仁县第一中学·期中)Steps to Create a New Page in Your Life
If you could talk to your younger self again, what would you tell them? For me, the best advice would be to be stronger, because life is only going to get harder. I had many problems in the past but I’ve changed for the better. So, turning your life around can be easy if you truly believe in yourself. 1 Now, turn the pages of your own life and move on from every struggle.
Draw A Line Mentally
Life will throw many problems your way, and you need to be mentally prepared for them. However, you might find yourself stuck in the same bad situations. 2 This line will help you mark your future decisions. Everything before it was part of the problem; everything after will be part of the solution. The secret over here is to never stop trying.
3
Many of us make a common mistake: we try to handle everything alone. In order to get out of this situation, you must be willing to talk with others — people you are close to, like family or friends. Make sure that the communication is actually beneficial in some way. When you start learning and depending on others, you notice the different patterns that made them successful.
Let Go Of Your Past
To move on, you must let go of the past, guilt, and resentment (怨恨). Bad feelings will only make you tired physically and mentally. You should forgive (原谅) those who hurt you and start anew. I have learned something important from my experience — it’s easy to forgive others but hard to forgive ourselves. We must do so to begin the next chapter. 4
Do What Actually Works
In order to get out of a difficult situation, you have to do what works right? Well, most people get busy doing the things that don’t get them anywhere. For example, many people turn to alcohol or smoking to reduce the stress, which just kills them slowly. Live in reality to make wise choices for yourself. 5 Yes, actively and always engaging in battles and struggles is going to be very hard, but being stuck in pain and self-resentment will be even harder.
A. Learn From Others.
B. Handle everything alone.
C. So you need to draw a mental line.
D. Everyone makes mistakes — it’s what makes us humans.
E. After all, you only have yourself to depend on in this world.
F. The most important thing you need to do is look at the future.
G. Don’t follow the path to anger and destroy what is good for you.
【答案】1. E 2. C 3. A 4. F 5. G

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·江西师范大学附属中学·期中)Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn... . The ways to connect with of us on social media are limitless. 1 Here’s what not to do.
People are extremely particular when it comes to sharing pictures on social media. So, don’t post pictures of people without their permission. While you may not think posting the picture is a big deal, the other person may disagree. 2 It will help you avoid upsetting your loved ones.
Just got a new job? Bought a new car? You have got promoted? Or maybe you decided you’re moving? Don’t tweet or post your news to the world before sharing it with your loved ones. A love relationship largely depends on safety and security and the chance to get inside information is an important part of that. 3
Social media is public. 4 It’s possible to accidentally hurt loved ones by oversharing. Every relationship is different, so talk to your loved ones before sharing anything you doubt may be borderline too much. Oversharing is one of several habits that destroy trust in relationships.
5 If you’re upset and you have the urge to post something that may come off as mean, put down your phone, computer, or tablet and express your anger in another way. It is recommended that you use social media as a tool to spread positivity, such as birthday posts or meaningful articles.
A. Just ask before you do that.
B. Don’t view social media as only bad.
C. Never use social media when you’re mad.
D. These signs confirm that your relationship is rock solid.
E. You shouldn’t be sharing private information with the world.
F. In many ways, social media has made our world a better place.
G. However, don’t let your online life negatively affect your real life.
【答案】1. G 2. A 3. D 4. E 5. C
【解析】【导语】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在社交媒体方面,尽管我们联系的方式是无限的,但不要让你的网络生活给你的现实生活带来负面影响,作者例举了几件不要在社交媒体上做的事情。
(1)题解析:
上文“The ways to connect with of us on social media are limitless. (在社交媒体上与我们联系的方式是无限的)”阐述了社交媒体的好处,再结合下文“Here’s what not to do. (以下是不要做的事情)”可推知,空格处为网络生活可能会给你带来的影响。G项“However, don’t let your online life negatively affect your real life. (然而,不要让你的网络生活对你的现实生活产生负面影响)”,G项与上文为转折关系,起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。
(2)题解析:
上文“While you may not think posting the picture is a big deal, the other person may disagree. (虽然你可能认为上传照片不是什么大事,但其他人可能不同意)”以及下文“It will help you avoid upsetting your loved ones. (这会帮助你避免让你所爱的人难过)”可推断,空格处内容为在发帖子之前,应征求他人意见。A项“Just ask before you do that. (在你这么做之前先问一下)”,其中that指代上文的posting the picture,上下文语意衔接连贯。故选A项。
(3)题解析:
由前文“Just got a new job? Bought a new car? You have got promoted? Or maybe you decided you’re moving? Don’t tweet or post your news to the world before sharing it with your loved ones. A love relationship largely depends on safety and security and the chance to get inside information is an important part of that. (刚找到一份新工作?买了辆新车?你怀孕了吗?或者你决定搬家了?在与你爱的人分享之前,不要在推特上发布你的消息。爱情关系很大程度上取决于安全,而获得内部消息的机会是其中重要的一部分)”可知,此段主要讲的是爱情关系取决于双方的安全和保障,要让你爱的人第一个获取你的最新消息,才能保证爱情关系的牢固性,D项“These signs confirm that your relationship is rock solid (这些迹象表明你们的关系坚如磐石)”中These signs指代上文中的例子,语意衔接连贯。故选D项。
(4)题解析:
上文“Social media is public.(社交媒体是公开的)”介绍了社交媒体的特点;下文“It’s possible to accidentally hurt loved ones by oversharing. (过度分享可能会意外伤害到所爱的人)”可知,因为媒体的公开性,过度分享有弊端,空格处内容应表示“不要和他人过度分享”。E项“You shouldn’t be sharing private information with the world. (你不应该和全世界分享你的私人信息)”,E项承接上文,与下文为因果关系。故选E项。
(5)题解析:
根据下文“If you’re upset and you have the urge to post something that may come off as mean, put down your phone, computer, or tablet and express your anger in another way. (如果你很沮丧,想要发一些可能被认为是刻薄的东西,那就放下手机、电脑或平板电脑,用另一种方式表达你的愤怒)”可知,情绪不好时,不要通过社交媒体宣泄负面情绪。C项“Never use social media when you’re mad. (生气的时候千万不要使用社交媒体)”与本段主旨一致,可作本段的小标题。故选C项。
Passage 2
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇一中·期中)If you’ve tried and failed to stick to a fitness plan in the past, you may feel like you’ll never be the type of person who exercises regularly and enjoys it or that you’ll never find the time to exercise in the first place. 1 Here are some tips that can help.
Set a time
2 If you don’t set a time, there’s a chance you may put off exercise until you feel more motivated (有积极性的) or less tired. And the more often you do this, the harder it will become to turn your workouts into a habit.
Make it fun
You’ll find it hard to make exercise a daily habit if you view it as a chore (苦差事), so make it fun. 3 If you enjoy walking when it’s quiet outside, take advantage of early mornings.

(如果你过去尝试过但未能坚持健身计划,你可能会觉得自己永远不会成为那种经常锻炼并享受其中的人,或者你一开始就永远找不到时间锻炼。)”以及下文“Here are some tips that can help.

(选择一天中对你最有效的锻炼时间,并坚持下去。)”符合本段主题,且与下文紧密相连,指出要选择一个适合自己的锻炼时间并坚持下去。故选F项。
(3)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Make it fun (让锻炼变得有趣)”以及上文“You’ll find it hard to make exercise a daily habit if you view it as a chore (苦差事), so make it fun. (如果你把锻炼看作是一件苦差事,你就会发现很难把它变成每天的习惯,所以要让锻炼变得有趣。)”可知,本段主要强调让锻炼变得有趣的重要性。E选项“If you love music, fill your ears with inspiring songs while exercising. (如果你喜欢音乐,就在锻炼时让耳朵充满鼓舞人心的歌曲。)”给出了一个具体的让锻炼变得有趣的建议,即听音乐。故选E项。
(4)题解析:
根据本段小标题“Reward (奖励) your efforts (奖励你的努力)”以及上文“Exercise takes effort, so reward that effort. If your gym shoes aren’t up to the task, buy a new pair. Do whatever you can to make exercise a habit. (锻炼需要努力,所以要奖励这种努力。如果你的健身鞋不能胜任这项任务,就买一双新的。尽你所能让锻炼成为一种习惯。)”可知,本段主要强调奖励自己的努力以鼓励自己坚持锻炼。D选项“Then give yourself a treat for keeping exercising. (然后给自己一个奖励,因为自己坚持锻炼。)”符合本段主题,指出要给自己一个奖励以鼓励自己坚持锻炼。故选D项。
(5)题解析:
根据上文“Life will sometimes get in the way of your daily exercise routine (常规). (生活有时会妨碍你每天的锻炼计划。)”以及下文“But don’t give up or give yourself a hard time. Just get back to working out as soon as you can. (但是不要放弃或让自己难过。尽快恢复锻炼。)”可知,此处描述了生活中可能会遇到的一些干扰锻炼计划的情况,但鼓励不要放弃。G选项“Illness, family and work responsibilities all can mess up your workout plans. (疾病、家庭和工作责任都可能打乱你的锻炼计划。)”具体列举了一些可能干扰锻炼计划的情况,与上文紧密相连,且为下文的鼓励不要放弃做了铺垫。故选G项。
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·江西景德镇·期中)Fiber (纤维) is really good for our health. It helps control blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol (胆固醇) and reduce inflammation (炎症). 1 Here’s some advice.
Take baby steps
If you don’t eat a lot of fiber, the key is to start slowly. That’s because high-fiber diets can make some people have gas and bloating. The gas is a result of fiber being fermented (发酵) by the microbes in your gut. 2
Focus on getting fiber from different plant-based foods
Researchers say the best way to get fiber is from various plant-based foods. 3 Think about sweet potatoes, avocados, pears and pumpkin seeds. These foods not only have a lot of fiber but also contain other vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that are good for our health.
Check the freezer section
Raspberries and blackberries are some of my favorite fiber sources—one cup of either has about 8 grams of fiber. But they can be expensive. So I buy them both frozen and fresh. Frozen berries are usually cheaper, and last much longer. 4
Notice how high-fiber foods affect you
When you eat more fiber, you might want to write down how different high-fiber foods affect you. Everyone is different. Some people may be more sensitive to certain types of fiber than others. For example, I love chia seeds, but if I eat more than 2 spoons in a day, my digestive system doesn’t feel good.
5
When you add more fiber to your diet, make sure to drink enough water too. Water can help fiber move through your body and stop it from becoming hard, which can cause more gas and constipation.
A. Don’t forget to drink water
B. Too much water brings more harm than good
C. So, how can we add more fiber to our diets?
D. And bloating is really dangerous for your health.
E. I also like to have frozen artichokes and spinach ready.
F. That means eating different fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts.
G. You should increase your fiber intake little by little so that your body has time to get used to it.
【答案】1. C 2. G 3. F 4. E 5. A
【解析】【导语】
本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在饮食中添加更多的纤维。
(1)题解析:
根据空前“Fiber(纤维)is really good for our health. It helps control blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol(胆固醇)and reduce inflammation(炎症).(纤维对我们的健康非常有益。它有助于控制血糖、降低胆固醇并减少炎症。)”和空后“Here’s some advice.(以下是一些建议。)”可知,空前介绍了纤维的好处,空后开始给出建议,故此空应承上启下,引出如何增加纤维摄入量,故C项“那么,我们如何在日常饮食中增加更多纤维呢?”符合。故选C项。
(2)题解析:
根据本段标题“Take baby steps(一步一步慢慢来。)”可知,本段主要介绍应逐步增加纤维摄入,且根据空前“If you don’t eat a lot of fiber, the key is to start slowly. That’s because high-fiber diets can make some people have gas and bloating. The gas is a result of fiber being fermented(发酵)by the microbes in your gut.(如果你平时摄入的纤维不多,关键是要慢慢开始。这是因为高纤维饮食可能会让一些人产生气体和腹胀。气体是由肠道微生物发酵纤维产生的。)”可知,空前提到高纤维饮食会让人引起腹胀,故此处作为本段末句,应总结本段,且呼应标题,故G项“你应该逐渐增加纤维摄入量,让身体有时间适应。”符合。故选G项。
(3)题解析:
根据本段标题“Focus on getting fiber from different plant-based foods(注重从多种植物性食物中获取纤维)”可知,本段强调从多种植物性食物中获取纤维,且根据空前“Researchers say the best way to get fiber is from various plant-based foods.(研究人员表示,获取纤维的最佳方式是摄入多种植物性食物。)”可知,F项“这意味着要吃不同的水果、蔬菜、全谷物、豆类、种子和坚果。”是空前的顺承承接,具体解释了“不同植物性食物”的范围并举例,故F项符合。故选F项。
(4)题解析:
根据本段标题“Check the freezer section(关注冷冻食品区)”可知,本段主要介绍从冷冻食品区获得纤维,且根据空前“So I buy them both frozen and fresh. Frozen berries are usually cheaper, and last much longer.(所以我冷冻的和新鲜的都买。冷冻浆果通常更便宜,并且保存时间更长。)”可知,空前提到冷冻浆果更便宜且保存更久,故E项“我也喜欢准备冷冻洋蓟和菠菜。”符合,进一步举例其他冷冻高纤维食物。故选E项。
(5)题解析:
根据本段内容“When you add more fiber to your diet, make sure to drink enough water too. Water can help fiber move through your body and stop it from becoming hard, which can cause more gas and constipation.(当你增加饮食中的纤维时,也要确保喝足够的水。水可以帮助纤维在体内移动,防止其变硬,从而避免产生更多气体和便秘。)”可知,本段主要强调了喝水的重要性,故A项“别忘了喝水”符合本段小标题,概括本段内容。故选A项。
