Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them? Here are some simple tips. Choose the right videos Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 1 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time. Watch with a goal Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this?” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 2 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively. Don’t watch too many at once It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 3 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend. Use subtitles (字幕) Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 4 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences. Practice what you learn Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 5 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick. A. They should be clear and not too fast. B. Keep this question in your mind while watching. C. Some videos can help you relax after a long day. D. This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply. E. You can also use them to check your pronunciation. F. This makes it easier to follow, even if the speaker talks fast. G. If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·江西省部分学校联考·期中）How to Stay Focused Staying focused can help you complete a variety of professional and personal tasks, from studying for a test to finishing your work an hour early. There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better. Make a to-do list. Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one. 1 Organize your workspace. Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration. 2 Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit. Give yourself a time limit for each task. 3 Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task. Be realistic about this judgement. Then, try to complete each task within the range of each time limit. Make time for breaks during the day. Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused. 4 This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead. 5 Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task. A. Prioritize your tasks. B. Multi-task less to make you focused. C. This will also keep you focused on one task at a time. D. Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. E. You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work. F. It’s better to save the easier or more manageable tasks for the end of the day. G. Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·江西上饶蓝天教育集团·期中）The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. 1 It is said that every year on the second day of the second lunar (阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day” (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on March 4. Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very necessary to farming. 2 People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou festival. 3 Many believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou keeps them away from bad luck. 4 During the Longtaitou festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon’s beard (longxu）. Dumplings are dragon’s ears (long’er). And spring rolls (春卷) are dragon’s scales (鳞片) (longlin). 5 In some places in Shandong province, people make dragon lanterns too. Small reed (芦苇) boats go down the rivers and carry the lanterns, which stand for people’s best wishes and good luck. A. It brings the wind and rain. B. Do you know how to make spring rolls? C. But some people don’t like the dragon. D. The most popular one is to have a haircut. E. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming. F. People also hold activities like dragon dancing on the day. G. Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·江西南昌第二中学·期中）As our dogs enter their elderly years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 1 It involves a complete set of methods that cover their changing health, physical ability, and emotional well-being. It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet (兽医) check-ups to help notice any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, making sure your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 2 As your dog ages, their nutritional (营养的) needs will change, too. It’s extremely important to change their diet and track their weight to prevent any overweight issues. 3 Also consider giving supplements (补剂) such as multivitamins as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so changing their exercise routine makes sense. 4 Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. 5 Spend quality time with your senior dog, engaging in activities they love. Your company is of extreme value to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companion enjoys their later years with respect, comfort, and the love they deserve. Remember, you’re not alone in this. Get in touch with your vet or fellow pet parents if you need advice or support. A. Choose high-quality senior dog food. B. But care in advance is better than treatment. C. Emotional well-being should not be ignored. D. Any small alarming changes are often the first signs. E. Think gentle walks instead of demanding fetch exercises. F. Don’t forget to reward them with their favorite snacks after exercise. G. Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江西鹰潭余江区第一中学·期中）Why People May Stare at You You may have experienced the situation where someone staring at you, such as when you’re quietly seated on a bus, only to find that the person across from you is looking at your feet. Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same. 1 A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state. 2 Observing what others look at offers a glimpse into their thoughts. 3 The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task. The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information. 4 They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic. Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information. 5 But when someone is performing a manual task, it’s the hands that draw the gaze. This also explains why magicians often talk to engage their audience’s attention on their faces while performing tricks with their hands. A. So, what causes such stares? B. But it’s not just eyes that draw stares. C. The eyes, contain socially relevant information. D. This explains how magicians apply misdirection. E. If someone is speaking, the eyes attract attention. F. Sometimes, such intense stares can make us feel uneasy. G. The way people talk can also attract stares during conversations. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·江西南昌第十中学·期中）As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 1 . If you haven’t met many people from different backgrounds. Here are some tips for learning more about them and about yourself. Know your own culture One of the best ways to understand other people’s cultures is to first consider your own. 2 . Don’t think of your own way of life as the only normal one and everyone else’s to be strange. Otherwise, it’s hard to approach those differences with respect. 3 Maybe you’ve recently met someone from a different culture, or you’re curious about how differently people live. When you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. Also, you can read books, watch movies or listen to radio shows. 4 . The more you learn, the more likely you will get used to greeting cultural differences with curiosity rather than doubt. Appreciate the differences Differences between us are what make life so interesting, so just accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. The best way to respect people from other cultures is to strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation: Ask questions if your friends are open to them. 5 . A. Pay a visit to your hometown. B. Learn about a different culture. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. It can be hard to know how to respect their cultures. E. These will help you get an insider’s view on a different culture. F. Most of us don’t realize that our customs and beliefs might seem strange to someone else. G. Also, learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·江西南昌莲塘第一中学·期中）In today’s world, we are constantly surrounded by media — from newspapers and television to social media. Faced with this flood of messages, how can we tell what’s true, what’s biased (有偏见的), and what’s meant to influence us? 1 Media literacy (素养) is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms. It’s recognized as a key skill in the 21st century. 2 Therefore, media literacy is no longer optional. It’s essential for informed participation in our daily lives. The concept of media literacy has a long history. As early as the 1920s, organizations in the UK encouraged people to be more thoughtful media users. At the time, the goal was mostly to protect audiences, especially young people, from media influence. However, with the rise of television, media consumption only grew, 3 Things began to change again with the arrival of the Internet and mobile devices. Now, people can access media anytime and anywhere. This shift led educators and researchers to renew their focus — not on avoiding media, but on using it wisely. Research confirms the benefits of media literacy education. Media literacy programs can reduce body dissatisfaction, especially among young women exposed to unrealistic beauty standards. 4 These findings suggest that media literacy not only protects us from harm, but also supports healthier, more thoughtful living. 5 Experts suggest examining media through four lenses: cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and moral. By doing so, we become more active and empowered media users. A. That’s where media literacy comes in. B. So, how can we practice media literacy? C. They can also prevent the spread of misinformation. D. while interest in teaching media literacy declined. E. This is also likely to promote your health and happiness. F. Studies show that media can influence our behaviors, often without us realizing it. G. so modern media literacy education teaches people to question what they see and hear. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·江西临川第一中学·期中）Lying on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game. 1 As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed. Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. 2 Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything. How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night’s sleep? Here are some practical strategies. Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency. 3 . Manage digital distractions. 4 They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure. 5 When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep. Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won’t happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction. A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords. B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination? C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes. D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques. E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it. F. As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens. G. What distracts us when we’re supposed to be concentrating? Passage 4 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇一中·期中）Are you as good at things as you think you are? How good are you at managing money? Are you better than average at grammar? Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. 1 . This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. 2 . On average, people tend to rate themselves better than most in health, leadership skills, and beyond. What’s particularly interesting is that those with the least ability often overrate their skills to the greatest extent. When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions. 3 In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing. The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities. 4 Meanwhile, experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too. 5 When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re extremely competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are. So what can we do? First, ask for feedback from others. Second, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence. A. Actually, we often overestimate our own abilities. B. They all have incompetence they don’t recognize. C. In short, people are often caught in inaccurate self-perception. D. They know enough to know that there’s a lot they don’t know. E. This effect explains why people display imaginary superiority. F. Knowing how competent we are is more than a self-confidence boost. G. But those knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇一中·期中）It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter. 1 Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way. There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see studying as a way to acquire new things. You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn’t do the homework for them. If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help. 2 Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they’ll feel like a failure. Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test. 3 This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures. 4 If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies. Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study. 5 It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it’s good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework. A. That’s not necessarily the case. B. It is teachers’ duty to correct homework mistakes. C. You may enroll them in various after-class courses. D. If not, patiently show them how to do better next time. E. Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research. F. Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on. G. Even if they fail in exams, you’d better control your temper. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·江西·期中）Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy—not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. 1 That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. 2 Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water. 3 If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. 4 Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. 5 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. Passage 7 （25-26高二上·江西上饶蓝天教育集团·期中）When you want to invite friends to a party, you’d better send them invitations. This is a good way to show your respect. 1 Mailed Invitations The most traditional way to invite your friends is to mail invitations.You need to write down all the information about the party, 2 . Online Invitations 3 You can buy some online invitations, put pictures and videos in the online invitations and then e-mail them to your friends. Phone Calls If you want to save more time, you can just make a phone call. In this way, 4 , and you can hear if they are interested in the party. In Person(亲自) An in-person invitation can let you talk to your friends about the party and know their interests. 5 So, you’d better prepare an invitation for them, too. A. you can tell them more about your party B. Here are some ways of inviting friends to your party. C. But when you talk to the friends, you may forget some important information. D. such as the party time, the place, clothes to wear, things to bring,the phone number and so on E. You can also invite friends to a party through the Internet. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·江西赣州十三校联考·期中）How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy. Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser. Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? 1 Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to. Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. 2 If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction. 3 Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do. Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. 4 Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself. Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. 5 A. Set healthy boundaries. B. Keep healthy relationships. C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy? D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are. E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible? F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs. G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·江西萍乡市·期中）How to Use Your Inner Voice We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news: 1 Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross. Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts 2 Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity. Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic 3 It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better. 4 Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence. Conclusion By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. 5 A. Our inner voice cuts both ways. B. Talking to yourself during tough times. C. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue D. Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic? E. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success. F. We can learn to identify negative thought patterns and avoid them. G. Start today — because your inner voice shapes how you show up in the world. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇·期中）Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. 1 If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it addressed as soon as possible. Caregiver stress is all too common. 2 If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — every day — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. 3 Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue? When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both. 4 Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. 5 While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them. A. Taking regular holidays is also important. B. Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time. C. But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy. D. The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty. E. First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress. F. For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough. G. In addition, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·江西赣州24校联考·期中）Making decisions can be challenging for everyone, even for those people of achievement. 1 . It brings clarity to complexity and confidence to uncertainty. These steps are designed to provide practical guidance for navigating your choices effectively. Know your goals 2 , which can lead you to make good decisions. Think about your long-term goals and how your choices can help you reach them. For example, if you are considering a new job, ask yourself how it fits into your career plans and personal life. Reflecting on your values can also help you make choices that align with what matters most to you. Weigh the pros and cons Gather information about your options and list the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. 3 . This way, you can make a more informed decision based on the evidence you have. Consider seeking advice from trusted friends or instructors, as they may offer valuable perspectives you hadn’t thought of. 4 Decisions often depend on one another. Prioritize which choices need to be made first. Some decisions may require you to rethink your goals, so be flexible and ready to adjust your plans as needed. Setting deadlines for your decisions can also keep you focused. Write your decisions down Creating a list of what needs to be done can help you organize your thoughts. Consider the possible outcomes of each decision. Remember, it’s okay to make decisions without all the information, but be prepared to adapt as new information becomes available. 5 , and this practice will sharpen your judgment for future choices. A. Manage your time B. Make the right choices C. However, following a clear process can help D. Understanding what you want to achieve is the first step E. As a matter of fact, making decisions is not quite difficult F. Writing these down can help you see the trade-offs clearly G. Keeping a decision-making journal can also document your experiences / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·江西莲花中学·期中）Learning with Short Videos: Tips for Students Short videos are not just for fun — they can be great tools for learning. Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them? Here are some simple tips. Choose the right videos Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 1 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time. Watch with a goal Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this?” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 2 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively. Don’t watch too many at once It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 3 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend. Use subtitles (字幕) Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 4 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences. Practice what you learn Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 5 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick. A. They should be clear and not too fast. B. Keep this question in your mind while watching. C. Some videos can help you relax after a long day. D. This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply. E.

There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better. Make a to-do list. Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one. 1 Organize your workspace. Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration. 2 Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit. Give yourself a time limit for each task. 3 Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task. Be realistic about this judgement. Then, try to complete each task within the range of each time limit. Make time for breaks during the day. Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused. 4 This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead. 5 Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task. A. Prioritize your tasks. B. Multi-task less to make you focused. C. This will also keep you focused on one task at a time. D. Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. E. You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work. F. It’s better to save the easier or more manageable tasks for the end of the day. G. Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. D 4. E 5.

Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same. 1 A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state. 2 Observing what others look at offers a glimpse into their thoughts. 3 The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task. The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information. 4 They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic. Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information. 5 But when someone is performing a manual task, it’s the hands that draw the gaze. This also explains why magicians often talk to engage their audience’s attention on their faces while performing tricks with their hands. A. So, what causes such stares? B. But it’s not just eyes that draw stares. C. The eyes, contain socially relevant information. D. This explains how magicians apply misdirection. E. If someone is speaking, the eyes attract attention. F. Sometimes, such intense stares can make us feel uneasy. G. The way people talk can also attract stares during conversations. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. E 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们喜欢凝视他人的原因。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“You may have experienced the situation where someone staring at you, such as when you’re quietly seated on a bus, only to find that the person across from you is looking at your feet. Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same.(你可能经历过有人盯着你看的情况，比如当你安静地坐在公共汽车上时，却发现对面的人在看你的脚。你穿了两只不同的鞋吗？不，你检查你的鞋子——两者是一样的)”结合下文解释凝视的原因可知，本句为过渡句，引出后文人们喜欢凝视的原因。故A选项“那么，是什么导致了这样的凝视呢？”符合语境，故选A。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state.(伦敦大学的汉娜·斯科特及其同事的一项新研究表明，人们之所以盯着别人看，是因为脸，尤其是眼睛，提供了许多关于一个人精神状态的有用的非语言线索)”可知，上文提到人脸提供了一些精神状态的线索，且强调了眼睛包含信息更多，故C选项“眼睛包含与社交相关的信息”符合语境，故选C。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task.(研究还发现，人们在谈话时可能会关注他人的嘴唇。如果你在说话的时候感觉到有人盯着你的嘴看，这很可能不是对你有好感，而是他们可能听不清你说的话。同样，当你做手势时，人们可能会看着你的手。因为当你说话或执行任务时，他们可能会试图理解你的行为)”可知，后文提到对话的时候人们会关注他人的嘴唇，即不只关注眼睛。故B选项“但吸引目光的不只是眼睛”符合语境，故选B。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information.(研究表明，人们倾向于把目光投向提供最多信息的身体部位)”以及后文“They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic.(他们在表演手技时让观众把注意力集中在他们的脸上。这项技术有助于在玩纸牌或硬币魔术时将注意力从他们的手上转移开)”可知，后文提到了表演魔术，推测是用魔术师进行举例说明。故D选项“这就解释了魔术师是如何误导别人的”符合语境，故选D。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information.(斯科特的研究得出的结论是，人们不会自然地偏向于关注别人的脸。相反，它们会被吸引到提供最相关信息的身体部位)”可知，本句承接上文，具体说明被吸引到关注的身体部位是什么。故E选项“如果有人在说话，眼睛会吸引注意力”符合语境，故选E。 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·江西南昌第十中学·期中）As you get older, you’ll meet a wider range of people from diverse cultures. 1 .

It’s recognized as a key skill in the 21st century. 2 Therefore, media literacy is no longer optional. It’s essential for informed participation in our daily lives. The concept of media literacy has a long history. As early as the 1920s, organizations in the UK encouraged people to be more thoughtful media users.

Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. 2 Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything. How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night’s sleep? Here are some practical strategies. Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency. 3 . Manage digital distractions. 4 They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure. 5 When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep. Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won’t happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction. A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords. B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination? C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes. D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques. E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it. F. As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens. G. What distracts us when we’re supposed to be concentrating? 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. E 4. A 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是说明文。文章围绕“睡前拖延症”展开，先对睡前拖延症进行了定义，接着分析了导致睡前拖延症的原因，最后针对如何打破睡前拖延的恶性循环、恢复良好睡眠给出了一些切实可行的策略。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“Lying on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game.(你躺在沙发上，双眼半闭着，大脑的一部分在大声警告你应该睡觉了，但另一部分却在悄悄告诉你：再玩一集，再攻克一个关卡吧)”以及后文“As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed.(正如研究人员克罗泽所定义的那样，这是一种毫无必要且自愿地推迟就寝的行为)”可知，后文在下定义，所以空处应是提出一个相关概念，B项“So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination?(那么睡前拖延症到底是什么呢？)”承接上文，下文则是对此问的回答。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies.(为什么我们总是陷入睡前拖延的循环之中呢？答案是，这既与电子设备带来的干扰有关，也与我们自身的心理倾向有关)”可知，本段解释了为什么我们总是陷入睡前拖延症的怪圈，是因为数字干扰，所以F项“As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens.(随着生活越来越受科技驱动，我们花在屏幕上的时间越来越多)”是对前文提到的数字干扰的详细解释，而后文“Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything.(此外，当我们面对负面情绪时，人们往往会通过一些娱乐活动来暂时掩盖这些情绪，直到我们疲惫不堪、再也无法感受到任何情绪为止)”则是对心理倾向的详细解释。故选F。 (3)题解析： 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency.(建立固定的就寝时间习惯。回想一下你的童年时光。我们很多人小时候都有固定的就寝流程，比如规定好的入睡时间、讲故事或者唱一首睡前歌曲。成年后，我们也可以从中受益，保持这种一贯性)”可知，本段主要讲述建立一个固定的就寝时间，所以E项“We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it.(我们可以制定一个有规律的睡眠时间表，并尽量坚持下去)”符合本段主题，是对前文的总结。故选E项。 (4)题解析： 根据前文“Manage digital distractions.(管理数字干扰)”以及后文“They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake.(它们娱乐、教育和连接我们，但它们也会分散我们的注意力，让我们保持清醒)”可知，后文讲述电子产品有好处也有坏处，所以A项“Our smart devices are double-edged swords.(我们的智能设备是一把双刃剑)”符合本段主题，下文是对本句的解释。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep.(当那些负面情绪使我们难以入睡时，我们就需要直接去处理它们。诸如深呼吸、瑜伽或冥想之类的放松练习能够帮助我们平复心情，为入睡做好准备)”可知，本段讲述怎么处理负面情绪，所以D项“Master stress and anxiety management techniques.(掌握压力和焦虑管理技巧)”符合本段主题，为中心句。故选D项。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇一中·期中）Are you as good at things as you think you are? How good are you at managing money? Are you better than average at grammar? Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately. 1 . This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. 2 . On average, people tend to rate themselves better than most in health, leadership skills, and beyond. What’s particularly interesting is that those with the least ability often overrate their skills to the greatest extent. When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions. 3 In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing. The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities. 4 Meanwhile, experts tend to be aware of just how knowledgeable they are. But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too. 5 When they’re unskilled, they can’t see their own faults. When they’re extremely competent, they don’t perceive how unusual their abilities are. So what can we do? First, ask for feedback from others. Second, keep learning. The more knowledgeable we become, the less likely we are to have invisible holes in our competence. A. Actually, we often overestimate our own abilities. B. They all have incompetence they don’t recognize. C. In short, people are often caught in inaccurate self-perception. D. They know enough to know that there’s a lot they don’t know. E. This effect explains why people display imaginary superiority. F. Knowing how competent we are is more than a self-confidence boost. G. But those knowledge gaps also prevent them from catching their errors. 【答案】1. A 2. E 3. G 4. D 5. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了邓宁—克鲁格效应。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Psychological research suggests that we’re not very good at evaluating ourselves accurately.(心理学研究表明，我们并不擅长准确地评估自己)”可知，选项承接上文说明我们是怎么评估自己的。故A选项“事实上，我们经常高估自己的能力”切题。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“This phenomenon is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.(这种现象被称为邓宁-克鲁格效应)”可知，选项承接上文具体解释邓宁-克鲁格效应的含义。故E选项 “这种效应解释了为什么人们会表现出想象中的优越感”切题。故选E项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“When psychologists Dunning and Kruger first described the effect in 1999, they argued that people lacking knowledge and skill in particular areas suffer a double curse (祸根). They make mistakes and reach poor decisions.(当心理学家邓宁和克鲁格在1999年首次描述这种效应时，他们认为在特定领域缺乏知识和技能的人会遭受双重祸根。 他们会犯错误，做出糟糕的决定”根据下文“In other words, poor performers lack the knowledge needed to recognize how badly they’re doing.(换句话说，表现不佳的人缺乏必要的知识来认识到他们做得有多糟糕)”可知，选项与上文为转折关系且引起下文，说明知识差距和发现错误的关系。故G选项“但这些知识差距也使他们无法发现自己的错误”切题。故选G项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“The effect shows people usually do admit their weaknesses once they can spot them. This may be why people with average knowledge or skill often have less confidence in their abilities.(结果表明，一旦发现自己的弱点，人们通常会承认。这可能就是为什么知识或技能一般的人往往对自己的能力缺乏信心)”可知，选项承接上文解释其原因。故D选项“他们知道有很多东西是他们不知道的”切题。故选D项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“But they often make a different mistake: they assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too.(但他们经常犯一个不同的错误：他们认为其他人也都很有见识)”可知，选项承接总结上文。故C选项“简而言之，人们经常陷入不准确的自我认知”切题。故选C项。 Passage 5 （25-26高二上·江西景德镇一中·期中）It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter. 1 Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way. There are several guidelines you can follow so that your children see studying as a way to acquire new things. You should always remember you are not a teacher. Although you need to guarantee that your children are completing their homework without any mistakes, you shouldn’t do the homework for them. If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help. 2 Besides, be cautious about rewarding children for good grades. If you abuse this, your children will only attempt to study for a reward. Getting bad grades, they’ll feel like a failure. Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test. 3 This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures. 4 If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated. Therefore, place emphasis on devoting time to other activities that are fundamental to your children’s development, like playing sports and watching movies. Some parents hold the belief that mental disorders lead to children’s lack of interest in study. 5 It’s very likely that their children are simply demotivated or disinterested. Therefore, it’s good to take the above tips into account. As a result, your children may find a genuine desire to study and do their own homework. A. That’s not necessarily the case. B. It is teachers’ duty to correct homework mistakes. C. You may enroll them in various after-class courses. D. If not, patiently show them how to do better next time. E. Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research. F. Vital as study is, it’s not the only thing kids must focus on. G. Even if they fail in exams, you’d better control your temper. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. D 4. F 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何正确引导孩子学习，避免过度施压，帮助他们找到学习的内在动力。 (1)题解析： 上文提到“It’s common for you to pressure your children to be smarter.(你常常会施压让孩子变得更聪明)”，这表明家长对孩子学习的期望很高，而空格后“Forcing children to study may be the easiest way for them to learn, but not the best way.(强迫孩子学习可能是让他们学习的最简单方法，但并非最佳方法)”说明强迫学习的局限性，C选项“You may enroll them in various after-class courses.(你可能会让他们参加各种课外课程)”与上下文逻辑一致，既承接了家长对孩子学习的关注，又引出了对强迫学习方式的反思。故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据上网呢“If you do, your children won’t be able to address their own issues and will always depend on others for help.(如果你替孩子完成作业，他们将无法解决自己的问题，并总是依赖他人帮助)”推知，空格处应是对这一现象的解决方案，E选项“Instead, offer them guidance and tools to do self-research.(相反，给他们提供指导和工具，让他们自己研究)”给出了正确的做法，既避免了直接替孩子完成作业，又能培养孩子的独立解决问题能力。故选E。 (3)题解析： 上文提到“Thus, it’s better to praise your children when they pass a test.(因此，当孩子通过考试时，最好表扬他们)”，而空格后“This way, they’ll see their mistakes as opportunities to improve and not see themselves as failures.(这样，他们会将自己的错误视为改进的机会，而不是将自己视为失败者)”则强调了如何处理孩子失败的情况，D选项“If not, patiently show them how to do better next time.(如果没有通过考试，耐心地教他们下次如何做得更好)”与前文形成不同情况的对比，符合语境。故选D。 (4)题解析： 此处为本段的主题句，空格后提到“If you only spare no efforts to force your children to study, both you and they will be frustrated.

When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. 1 That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. 2 Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water. 3 If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. 4 Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. 5 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. D 4. E 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了给植物浇水的最佳时间及相关注意事项，包括浇水频率、判断土壤干湿的方法、浇水时间选择等。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week.(如果你的植物长在地里，一般来说，植物每周需要1英寸的水。)”以及下文“That doesn't usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.(通常情况下，那样做是行不通的。考虑到下雨的情况，每周大约深浇三次水，植物生长得最好。)”可知，上文说植物每周需要1英寸的水，下文说每周大约深浇三次水植物生长得最好，说明每周一次浇水是不够的。F选项“(然而，这并不意味着每周浇一次水。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。 (2)题解析： 根据下文“Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it's time to water.(摸摸你的土壤！当土壤粘在手上，你可以把它捏成一个球时，说明土壤足够湿润。但是，如果它很少能在你手中粘在一起，或者如果表面看起来很硬，或者有裂缝，那么它可能很干燥，是时候浇水了。)”可知，本段主要介绍了通过触摸土壤来判断是否需要浇水。B选项“(但是不要不加思考就浇水。)”符合语境，引出下文判断土壤干湿的方法。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 根据下文“If so, that suggests it needs water.(如果是这样，那就表明它需要浇水。)”可知，设空处应是一个判断土壤是否需要浇水的条件。D选项“(看看土壤表面以下一英寸是否干燥。)”符合语境，下文的“so”指代的就是土壤表面以下一英寸干燥这种情况。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too.(最好在早上露水还在叶子上的时候浇水，这样叶子到晚上就会变干。然而，如果你不能在早上浇水，晚上浇水也可以。)”可知，本段主要介绍了浇水的时间选择。E选项“(只是要避开中午时段以避免水分流失。)”符合语境，是对上文浇水时间选择的补充。故选E项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches.(信不信由你，有时候浇水的最佳时间是在下雨期间或雨后立即浇水，特别是如果阵雨只有半英寸左右的水。原因是你想同时加入足够的水，以确保渗透到5或6英寸深。)”以及下文“Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil.(小阵雨不会在土壤中积聚水分储备。)”可知，上文说浇水要确保渗透到5或6英寸深，下文说小阵雨不会在土壤中积聚水分储备，说明如果小阵雨后不立即浇水，植物只能得到表面的水分。G选项“(如果你再等一天浇水，你只会增加表面的水分。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。 Passage 7 （25-26高二上·江西上饶蓝天教育集团·期中）When you want to invite friends to a party, you’d better send them invitations.

Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes. However, I’ve become a happier person as a result. Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser. Identify your priorities. Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser. Who are the people that you feel the need to please? 1 Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to. Just say “no”. One reason why people pleasers say “yes” to everything is that they fear disappointing others. 2 If you are a people pleaser, you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you. The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings. It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else's reaction. 3 Saying “no” is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships. All healthy relationships have their own boundaries. If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships, the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don’t want to do. Accept yourself. Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are. 4 Check out our summary of Brené Brown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself. Remember that you cannot please everyone. No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices. 5 A. Set healthy boundaries. B. Keep healthy relationships. C. Why do you feel the need to keep them happy? D. Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are. E. And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible? F. But saying “no” is the best way to take care of your own needs. G. That is why the more you seek security, the less of it you have. 【答案】1. C 2. F 3. A 4. D 5.

The good news: 1 Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross. Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts 2 Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity. Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic 3 It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better. 4 Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence. Conclusion By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. 5 A. Our inner voice cuts both ways. B. Talking to yourself during tough times. C. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue D. Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic? E. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success. F. We can learn to identify negative thought patterns and avoid them. G. Start today — because your inner voice shapes how you show up in the world. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. A 4. C 5. G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何利用内在声音来进行自我调节。 (1)题解析： 前文“We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical.

Caregiver stress is all too common. 2 If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — every day — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. 3 Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue? When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both. 4 Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. 5 While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them. A. Taking regular holidays is also important. B. Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time. C. But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy. D. The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty. E. First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress. F. For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough. G. In addition, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. G 4. C 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍照顾者压力的表现与普遍性，说明其产生的多种原因，给出寻求外部帮助、设定界限等自我保护建议，助力照顾者缓解压力。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically.(照顾者压力是一种专门影响照顾者的压力类型。)”和下文“If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress.(如果你照顾某人并感受到类似的情绪体验，那么你可能正遭受照顾者压力的困扰。)”可知，空格处需说明“照顾者压力的具体情绪表现”。D项“The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty.(患者往往会感到疲惫、烦躁甚至内疚。)”符合语境，“The sufferers”指代“caregivers”，“exhausted, annoyed and even guilty”对应下文“similar emotional experiences”，承上启下。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 由上文“Caregiver stress is all too common.(照顾者压力非常普遍。)”和下文“If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — every day — you can end up totally exhausted.

If you can do this, you absolutely should.(当你寻求建议时，你可能会听到应该把他们送进养老院、雇佣额外照顾人员或寻求其他家庭成员的帮助。如果可以，你当然应该这么做。)”和下文“Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea.(获得照顾可能非常昂贵，而且一些被照顾者会抗拒这个想法。)”可知，空格处需转折说明“上述建议虽好但难以实施”。C项“But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy.(但尽管这些建议在理论上听起来不错，实施起来却并不容易。)”符合语境，“this advice”指代上文“送养老院、雇人照顾等建议”，“not that easy”衔接下文“昂贵、被抗拒”的实施难点，逻辑清晰。故选C项。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session.(设定明确的界限会很有帮助。找到一个宣泄口，无论是在公园散步还是去健身房锻炼。)”和下文“While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent.(虽然做这些事你可能会感到压力，而且你的被照顾者可能不喜欢，但这对你们双方的健康和安全再次至关重要。)”可知，空格处需补充“另一项自我保护的重要方式”。A项“Taking regular holidays is also important.(定期休假也很重要。)”符合语境，“also important”与上文“设定界限、寻找宣泄口”并列，均为“无法改变照顾现状时的自我保护方法”，衔接紧密。故选A项。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·江西赣州24校联考·期中）Making decisions can be challenging for everyone, even for those people of achievement. 1 .
