专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南豫北民办高中·期中）How to Remember What You Read Reading is important, but the next important step is to make sure that you remember what you’ve read! Memory is sometimes a tricky thing. You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images may fly right out of your head. 1 Are you confused? If the plot, character, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. 2 If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it? There are a few things you can do — use a dictionary; look up the difficult words; consult a teacher... Are you connected? Does a character remind you of a friend? Does the setting make you want to visit the place? Does the book inspire you and make you want to read more? With some books, you may feel a connection right away. 3 How willing are you to make the connections happen? Read it; hear it; be it! Read the lines. Then, speak them out loud. And, put some characters into the words. When he was writing his novels, Charles Dickens would act out the stories of the characters. He’d make faces in the mirror and change his voice for each character. 4 How often do you read? If you read frequently, you’ll likely have an easier time remembering what you’re reading and what you’ve read. 5 As you make reading a regular part of your life, you’ll make more connections, stay more focused and understand the text much better. You’ll learn to enjoy literature as you remember what you read! A. What’s your motivation? B. Practice makes perfect. C. It’s a bit like reading a foreign language. D. Marking helps you remember what you read. E. Here are a few tips for remembering what you read. F. But other books require a bit more work on your part. G. You can do the same thing when you are reading the text! Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南郑州十校联考·期中）Think back to the last time you shopped for fruits and vegetables. You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 1 “Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers. 2 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more. The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 3 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment. Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so, you know that organic food tend to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops. 4 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up. Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 5 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price. A. Have you ever wondered what that means? B. The cost of production is also usually higher. C. For most of history, almost all food was organic. D. Many people are willing to pay more for organic food. E. Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious. F. Are you wondering if organic food is right for you? G. Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now.

Passage 5 （25-26高二上·河南郑州部分名校-11月·期中）Recently, I gave my 88-year-old grandfather a call on his birthday. He was as energetic as ever. I know he’s a disciplined man who relies on very strict routines. 1 As a matter of fact, you don’t need to look at scientific research on habits to figure out what to do. 2 You’ll see the patterns. Look at the good things they do and copy them. That’s what I’ve been doing with my grandfather. At first, I think you need to decide what habit you want to form. When you know what you want, it’s important to know when you want to do it. I often wake up at 6 a.m., do a three-mile run and have breakfast before I go to work. The exercise may seem a bit challenging but you can adjust the distance to suit yourself. 3 For lifting weights, my goal is to do it for at least 30 minutes each time. For my runs, however, it’s a bit more flexible because it depends on how my legs feel. Most people think it takes 66 days on average to form a habit. 4 “In my experience, it takes a week to get used to doing something regularly. So if you wake up at the same time every day for a whole week, you can count on yourself to do it every day from that point.” 5 Why set the bar low? You can make it if you go all out. A. That’s great advice. B. Let’s make that a good habit C. However, my grandfather will disagree. D. I think you need some heavy-duty advice. E. But I realized I never asked him about his secret. F. Besides, I like to measure my habits whenever possible. G. Just look at what a healthy family member does if you have one. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南驻马店九师联盟联考·期中）If you wish to take a break but have limited time or budget, consider a “microcation”. 1 . These short trips enable you to relax well, and you won’t feel stressed from planning too much. Why are microcations popular? Their main advantage lies in convenience. 2 . Since they are short, they are economical as well — you can even enjoy pleasant experiences, such as a nice dinner at a popular local restaurant or a spa visit. These strengths make them ideal for busy workers and families seeking quality time together. Additionally, in the current age of uncertainty, microcations offer flexibility, reducing the likelihood of having to cancel them. How to plan a great microcation 3 . Look for locations accessible by a short drive or a direct flight. Once you choose a destination, make it a point to stay close to the main attractions you intend to visit. Opt for a hotel or other accommodation that offers small benefits, such as early check-in or late check-out — this helps you make the most of your time. 4 . In this way, you will not have to deal with crowds, and you can also save money. What’s more, avoid overplanning every minute. While having a simple plan is beneficial, set aside free time for wandering. 5 . These small, unplanned moments often become the best parts of the trip. A balanced schedule ensures you return feeling relaxed, without feeling rushed. A. Selecting a nearby destination is of great importance B. Moreover, try to travel during times when fewer people take trips C. To have a good microcation, you must plan every activity in detail D. Microcations usually require booking flights several months in advance E. It is a new practice featuring short trips that last no more than four nights F. You may step into a cute small shop or stop for ice cream at a street stand G. They fit right into a long weekend, so you don’t need much time off work Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南郑州第一中学·期中）Why Do Electric Vehicles Make People More Carsick? With electric vehicles (EVs) gaining significant popularity globally — accounting for 22% of new car sales in 2024 — many passengers report experiencing increased motion sickness compared to traditional vehicles. Social media platforms are filled with such personal experiences, particularly from those riding in passenger or back seats. 1 A primary reason for this phenomenon is the lack of familiarity with EV motion patterns. As William Emond, a PhD researcher in France specializing in motion sickness, explains, people’s brains heavily depend on past experiences to predict and interpret motion. 2 For instance, experienced drivers naturally expect acceleration after hearing engine revs in fuel-powered cars, but EVs operate without such familiar auditory signals. 3 Recent research indicates that specific seat vibrations and the complete absence of traditional engine noise in EVs contribute significantly to motion discomfort. Furthermore, the regenerative braking systems — innovative technology that transforms kinetic energy (动能) into battery power — cause an unusually gradual slowdown. 4 Beyond this, motion sickness fundamentally occurs when the brain receives contradictory sensory signals about body movement. The inner ear, visual cues, and physical sensations send mixed messages to the brain, creating what experts call a “neural mismatch”. 5 This mechanism explains why drivers themselves rarely experience carsickness — they control and predict the vehicle’s movements. A. Such long-term conflict can trigger motion sickness symptoms. B. Another contributing factor is that EV-specific features add to the problem. C. Some manufacturers are improving suspension systems to minimize vibrations. D. Drivers usually don’t experience carsickness due to their control over the vehicle. E. This technology lengthens the stopping process and may worsen feelings of sickness. F. Without previous EV experience, the brain has to struggle to estimate forces accurately. G. In regard to this phenomenon, researchers have identified several scientific explanations. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·河南周口商水县第一高中-11月·期中）How to Improve Your Public Speaking Skills Many people feel nervous about speaking in public. However, it is a skill that can be greatly improved with practice and the right techniques. Here are some tips to help you become a more confident and effective speaker. 1 Thorough preparation is the foundation of a successful speech. Know your topic inside and out. Structure your speech with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Practice your delivery multiple times, preferably in front of a mirror or a friend. Know Your Audience Try to understand who your listeners are. What are their interests? What do they already know about your topic? 2 This helps in making your speech more relevant and engaging. Focus on Your Opening The first few minutes of your speech are crucial for capturing the audience’s attention. 3 You could start with a surprising fact, a brief story, or a thought-provoking question. Use Visual Aids Wisely Visual aids, like slides, can enhance your presentation. But they should support your speech, not become the main focus. Keep slides simple with minimal text. 4 Practice Active Breathing If you feel anxious, your breathing can become shallow. This can increase nervousness. Before you start, take a few deep, slow breaths. 5 This simple technique can help calm your nerves significantly. A. Don’t read directly from your slides. B. Prepare thoroughly. C. Memorize your speech word for word. D. Adjust your content and language accordingly. E. Start with a strong and interesting statement. F. Practice your speech at least twenty times. G. Focus on breathing from your diaphragm. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·河南实验中学·期中）Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life. You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. 1 Self-confidence is something you can develop. According to Psychology Today, confidence can be nurtured (培养), and it is possible to build it and let it grow at any given time in your life. It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you. 2 So where do you start? You start, according to a blog on Psych Central, with self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and practicing self-love and self-acceptance is what it is all about. There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success. 3 The good news is that it’s up to you. Sit with yourself, meditate and journal (冥想和记日记). Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others. 4 You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others. Because someone who is at peace with themselves and has confidence, according to Inc Magazine, is able to have compassion (同情) towards others. Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role. 5 People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are. Remember that building confidence is a journey. There isn’t necessarily a destination or an end goal. Accept yourself and be proud of who you are. A. This needs lots of practices. B. That’s not necessarily true. C. You should let go of perfection. D. These practices can be beneficial. E. You can benefit from talking to others. F. It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on. G. It’s about where you came from and how far you’ve come. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中）When it comes to new social favorites, a live-action role-playing game or script murder can be called a social utopia for young people today. 1 It has built a multi-dimensional space for social interaction, reasoning and emotional resonance. 2 Students on campus form groups to play campus-themed scripts, recalling their youth stories in youth narratives; white-collar workers in cities choose hardcore reasoning scripts,releasing work pressure in logical mazes. Emotional scripts help strangers break the ice quickly, while horror scripts bring people closer together through screams. These ever-changing script types adapt to the social needs of different groups of people. Script murder is also a sharp tool for breaking the ice in social interactions. Strangers sit around the table, and under the guidance of character cards, some become literati of the Republic of China, some become knights of the Jianghu, and communicate naturally as the plot progresses. As clue card: are passed around, the awkwardness of silence is broken, and laughter and discussions intertwined, making strangers quickly become familiar. 3 Today’s script murder stores show diversified development. Some create ancient-style real scenes, allowing players to experience the grievances (恩怨) of the Jianghu immersively in pavilions and towers; some launch holographic projections (全息投影), allowing players to experience the sci-fi world through light and shadow changes. 4 The professional guidance of the DM (主持人) still helps players immerse themselves in the plot better; high-quality scripts always lay a solid foundation for the experience. 5 Whether you are a logic lover who is keen on reasoning or an empath (共情者) who prefers emotions, every time you open a script, you step into a new social dimension full of surprises and fates. A. But some cores remain unchanged. B. Future developments may require government regulation. C. Traditional offline games are losing their appeal gradually. D. From campus to urban areas, script murder has set off an immersive craze. E. The charm of script murder lies in its ability to create new social possibilities. F. Even people with social anxiety can speak freely under the cover of their roles. G. However, what it has brought injust a few years is far more than entertainment experience. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·河南郑州宇华实验学校-11月·期中）A recent study suggests that reading paper books does make you smarter.While all reading benefits the brain,particularly at a young age,physical books offer the most advantages.Students who read paper books scored approximately 2.5 years ahead of those who didn’t read,whereas digital readers scored just under a year ahead 1 A previous study has consistently shown that reading comprehension is better with paper books compared to digital reading. 2 Even in areas where digital reading is more common,students who read paper books demonstrate a better understanding of the material. One reason for this is that reading on paper comes with fewer distractions(干扰) .Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos. 3 Additionally,the absence of blue light in physical books prevents potential harm to readers’ eyes and aids in better sleep.The brain activity involved in reading a paper book helps the mind wind down,avoiding blue light that can interrupt the circadian rhythm (生物钟). 4 Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn,developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.While digital books have made reading more accessible to disadvantaged students,they do not replace the unique benefits of physical books.However,since physical copies can be more expensive and harder to find,digital reading remains a valuable alternative. It’s true that paper books have clear advantages. 5 So,regardless of how you choose to read,know that any book is better than none. A. Paper books, on the contrary, keep readers focused. B. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for digital books. C. This differenee of more than a year and a half is significant. D. Digital reading, on the other hand, is far better than not reading at all. E. Consider adding books to your physical library, rather than digital ones. F. The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers. G. Moreover, people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers. Passage 7 （25-26高二上·河南方城县第一高级中学-11月·期中）Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 1 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 2 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 3 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 4 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 5 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A. But I didn’t stop there. B. For me, it was a firm no. C. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南汤阴县第一中学·期中）Ways to keep your eyesight in tip-top shape If you have perfect vision, you probably don’t worry too much about eye health. 1 Therefore, you may find the following tips helpful in protecting your eyes. Eat for your eyes We all know carrots can support eye health, but there are also a bunch of other fruits and vegetables that are beneficial. Mainly, you want produce that contains vitamins A, C, and E, which can help prevent some diseases like cataracts. Look for dark-colored vegetables such as peppers and sweet potatoes. 2 Give your eyes a break Hours and hours of staring at the screen have become the everyday reality for many of us, and you’ve probably already noticed how straining it can be on your eyes. To help reduce this strain, experts recommend following the 20-20-20 rules. 3 Taking these little breaks can help avoid eye strain. Of course, it’s not a bad idea to keep your eyes away from a screen for an entire day every once in a while. Wear eye protection It’s always a good idea to wear something in situations that might put your eyes at risk, whether you’re playing sports or doing construction work. 4 so it can happen to anyone. With simple eye protection, you can easily avoid permanent injury to your eyes. Don’t forget your sunglasses Other than looking cool, sunglasses protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays(紫外线). 5 Just make sure the sunglasses have lenses that offer ultraviolet protection. A. It is extremely important to spot them early on, B. Such radiations can damage your eyesight over time. C. Other good sources of these nutrients include nuts and seeds. D. That’s because you often look in the long distance for a break. E. About 2,000 people suffer a work-related eye injury every day, F. However, the reality is that vision problems can happen to anyone. G. That means looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·河南天立教育·期中）The Daily Habits of Effective Leaders Leadership is often perceived as a gift with birth. 1 Life coach Allison Task highlights that by adopting specific daily habits and mental shifts, anyone can learn to step into a role of greater influence and responsibility. Everyone has access to the same information; the difference lies in how it’s used. 2 Leaders identify opportunities in situations and help others do the same. Crucially, you don’t need to be born with this skill, instead it can be built by focusing on opportunities, especially in tough times. Allison Task once worked at EarthWeb, where CEO Jack Hidary (a former NYC mayor candidate) often said, “ 3 ” He would explain market ideas, then wait for team members to rephrase the vision in their own words — ensuring everyone felt invested in the goal. While this communication takes time, it avoids the bigger trouble of leading alone while the team members wander off in different directions. Task once greeted a therapist who has an office in her building. He responded, “Crazy, like usual,” and hurried off. He’s talking about being crazy. 4 If he can’t do that in his own life, how can he help people live theirs? Leaders are constant role models. Their behavior — from how they treat others to their personal habits regarding sleep, diet, and exercise — is continuously observed and subconsciously followed by their team. In conclusion, the journey to becoming an effective leader is accessible to all. It begins with cultivating a mindset that seeks opportunity in adversity, ensures shared understanding through deliberate communication, and leads by example in both professional and personal conduct. 5 A. It isn’t said until everyone says it. B. Isn’t a therapist’s goal to help people be less crazy? C. Real leaders don’t get trapped in the wormhole of social media. D. It is a collection of skills that can be intentionally developed, though. E. On a rainy day, one can complain or seize the chance to sell umbrellas. F. By integrating these habits, individuals can step into rewarding leadership roles. G. It’s easy to believe that leaders are brave and confident enough to take bold risks. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·河南平顶山青桐鸣联考·期中）Do you feel lost, upset, or stressed out? Do you find yourself forcing a smile and lying when people ask how you’re doing? 1 It can be stressful when you’re going through a hard time. Luckily, things can get better in time, if you face it wisely. 2 Some stressors, like a bad relationship, need to end. Others like stressful schoolwork or hard-to-please relatives may be difficult to deal with. Focus on your needs, goals, and responsibilities, and then choose a strategy: plan time to recharge before or after dealing with them; use tools like music or healthy snacks while handling; communicate your stress; set limits on their impact; or cut them off if needed. Learn about how other people have managed similar challenges. 3 But you should still find out how they felt and what action they decided to take. It might give you strength or inspire you. Try an in-person or an online support group. Even if you don’t want to speak up, listening can be helpful. Keep in mind that not everyone has good advice. Pay attention to your feelings. Reflect on what happened. What happened, and how did it make you feel? How did it affect you and others? What is the big problem here — the hard part that makes it difficult to get over this particular memory? 4 Do something nice for anyone you hurt. If they are open to seeing you, give them a gift, write them a nice note, or apologize in person. 5 You can fix relationships and overcome guilt (内疚) by being kind to the people you hurt. A. Do something meaningful for you. B. Their situation may be a bit different. C. Manage the things that bring you down. D. Sometimes, you don’t feel like you’re okay. E. If you broke something, ask if you can help fix it. F. Work on being patient and reaching out to others having bad days. G. Writing down your thoughts on these questions helps sort out messy emotions. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $函学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 专题05阅读理解（七选五） 基础必练 Passage 1 【答案】1.E 2.C3.F 4.G 5.B Passage 2 【答案】1.A 2.C3.E4.B 5.G Passage 3 【答案】1.B 2.G3.F4.D 5.A Passage 4 【答案】1.A2.C3.E4.D5.G Passage 5 【答案】1.E2.G3.F 4.C 5.A 进阶提升 Passage 1 【答案】1.E 2.G3.A4.B 5.F Passage 2 【答案】1.G 2.F3.B4.E 5.A Passage 3 【答案】1.B 2.D3.E4.A 5.G Passage 4 【答案】1.B 2.F3.A4.D 5.E Passage 5 【答案】1.G 2.D3.F4.A5.E Passage 6 112 可学科网 www.zxxk.com 让教与学更高效 【答案】1.C 2.F3.A 4.G 5.D Passage 7 【答案】1.F 2.B3.E 4.A 5.C 拓展培优 Passage 1 【答案】1.F 2.C3.G4.E 5.B Passage 2 【答案】1.D 2.E3.A4.B5.F Passage 3 【答案】1.D2.C3.B4.G 5.E 212 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·河南豫北民办高中·期中）How to Remember What You Read Reading is important, but the next important step is to make sure that you remember what you’ve read! Memory is sometimes a tricky thing. You may have just read the text, but the ideas, concepts and images may fly right out of your head. 1 Are you confused? If the plot, character, or word usage is confusing for you, you likely won’t be able to remember what you read. 2 If you don’t understand what you’re reading, how would you remember it?

You may have noticed some items labelled with the word “organic”. 1 “Organic” refers to the way food is grown. To be labelled as organic, food production must meet strict guidelines. These can be different depending on where you live. In the United States, organic foods must be grown or raised without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers. 2 That changed after the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, many ideas that were used by factories and big businesses were put into action on farms. This helped some farms grow larger and produce more. The organic movement was started to get back to the old traditional ways of farming. Why? Many believe the chemicals and pesticides used in modern farming can be harmful to your health. 3 And those who support the organic movement also point to its benefits for the environment. Have you ever compared organic and non-organic foods at the grocery store? If so, you know that organic food tend to cost more. This happens for many reasons. Organic farming produces fewer crops. 4 Additionally, organic farms spend more money taking care of the animals they raise. These and other factors drive the cost of organic food up. Is organic food worth the extra cost? Some people believe it is. They may think it tastes better or just prefer to eat food that has not been grown using chemicals. 5 They are still trying to find a major difference between organic and non-organic food in terms of safety, nutrition, or taste. Still, others argue that the environmental benefits of organic food make it worth the price. A. Have you ever wondered what that means? B. The cost of production is also usually higher. C. For most of history, almost all food was organic. D. Many people are willing to pay more for organic food. E. Some also think organic foods are naturally more nutritious. F. Are you wondering if organic food is right for you? G. Scientists have studied organic and non-organic foods for many years now. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. E 4. B 5.

He was as energetic as ever. I know he’s a disciplined man who relies on very strict routines. 1 As a matter of fact, you don’t need to look at scientific research on habits to figure out what to do. 2 You’ll see the patterns. Look at the good things they do and copy them. That’s what I’ve been doing with my grandfather. At first, I think you need to decide what habit you want to form. When you know what you want, it’s important to know when you want to do it. I often wake up at 6 a.m., do a three-mile run and have breakfast before I go to work. The exercise may seem a bit challenging but you can adjust the distance to suit yourself. 3 For lifting weights, my goal is to do it for at least 30 minutes each time. For my runs, however, it’s a bit more flexible because it depends on how my legs feel. Most people think it takes 66 days on average to form a habit. 4 “In my experience, it takes a week to get used to doing something regularly. So if you wake up at the same time every day for a whole week, you can count on yourself to do it every day from that point.” 5 Why set the bar low? You can make it if you go all out. A. That’s great advice. B. Let’s make that a good habit C. However, my grandfather will disagree. D. I think you need some heavy-duty advice. E. But I realized I never asked him about his secret. F.

With electric vehicles (EVs) gaining significant popularity globally — accounting for 22% of new car sales in 2024 — many passengers report experiencing increased motion sickness compared to traditional vehicles. Social media platforms are filled with such personal experiences, particularly from those riding in passenger or back seats. 1 A primary reason for this phenomenon is the lack of familiarity with EV motion patterns. As William Emond, a PhD researcher in France specializing in motion sickness, explains, people’s brains heavily depend on past experiences to predict and interpret motion. 2 For instance, experienced drivers naturally expect acceleration after hearing engine revs in fuel-powered cars, but EVs operate without such familiar auditory signals. 3 Recent research indicates that specific seat vibrations and the complete absence of traditional engine noise in EVs contribute significantly to motion discomfort. Furthermore, the regenerative braking systems — innovative technology that transforms kinetic energy (动能) into battery power — cause an unusually gradual slowdown. 4 Beyond this, motion sickness fundamentally occurs when the brain receives contradictory sensory signals about body movement. The inner ear, visual cues, and physical sensations send mixed messages to the brain, creating what experts call a “neural mismatch”. 5 This mechanism explains why drivers themselves rarely experience carsickness — they control and predict the vehicle’s movements. A. Such long-term conflict can trigger motion sickness symptoms. B. Another contributing factor is that EV-specific features add to the problem. C. Some manufacturers are improving suspension systems to minimize vibrations. D. Drivers usually don’t experience carsickness due to their control over the vehicle. E. This technology lengthens the stopping process and may worsen feelings of sickness. F. Without previous EV experience, the brain has to struggle to estimate forces accurately. G. In regard to this phenomenon, researchers have identified several scientific explanations. 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. B 4. E 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了电动汽车比传统汽车更易让人晕车的原因，从人们对电动汽车运动模式不熟悉、电动汽车的特定特征，以及大脑接收矛盾感官信号引发“神经不匹配”等方面进行了科学解释。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“With electric vehicles (EVs) gaining significant popularity globally — accounting for 22% of new car sales in 2024 — many passengers report experiencing increased motion sickness compared to traditional vehicles.

You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. 1 Self-confidence is something you can develop. According to Psychology Today, confidence can be nurtured (培养), and it is possible to build it and let it grow at any given time in your life. It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you. 2 So where do you start? You start, according to a blog on Psych Central, with self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and practicing self-love and self-acceptance is what it is all about. There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success. 3 The good news is that it’s up to you. Sit with yourself, meditate and journal (冥想和记日记). Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others. 4 You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others. Because someone who is at peace with themselves and has confidence, according to Inc Magazine, is able to have compassion (同情) towards others. Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role. 5 People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are. Remember that building confidence is a journey. There isn’t necessarily a destination or an end goal. Accept yourself and be proud of who you are. A. This needs lots of practices. B. That’s not necessarily true. C. You should let go of perfection. D. These practices can be beneficial. E. You can benefit from talking to others. F. It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on. G. It’s about where you came from and how far you’ve come. 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. A 4. D 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了培养自信的方法。 (1)题解析： 空格前的句子“You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t.

One reason for this is that reading on paper comes with fewer distractions(干扰) .Digital platforms often distract readers with games or videos. 3 Additionally,the absence of blue light in physical books prevents potential harm to readers’ eyes and aids in better sleep.The brain activity involved in reading a paper book helps the mind wind down,avoiding blue light that can interrupt the circadian rhythm (生物钟). 4 Children surrounded by books are encouraged to read and discuss what they learn,developing a habit of engaged learning and achieving greater success.While digital books have made reading more accessible to disadvantaged students,they do not replace the unique benefits of physical books.However,since physical copies can be more expensive and harder to find,digital reading remains a valuable alternative. It’s true that paper books have clear advantages. 5 So,regardless of how you choose to read,know that any book is better than none. A. Paper books, on the contrary, keep readers focused. B. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for digital books. C. This differenee of more than a year and a half is significant. D. Digital reading, on the other hand, is far better than not reading at all. E. Consider adding books to your physical library, rather than digital ones. F. The new one further confirms the long-term benefits for physical book readers. G. Moreover, people with more books at home are typically higher academic achievers. 【答案】1. C 2. F 3. A 4. G 5.

We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 1 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 2 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 3 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 4 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 5 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A. But I didn’t stop there. B. For me, it was a firm no. C. That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D. I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E. It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F. This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. E 4. A 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一个具体的例子，探讨了如何在孩子提出不合理要求时，既不伤害感情又教会他们重要的人生课程。 (1)题解析： 上文提到“Parenting is a constant balancing act.

(但我并没有就此止步)”与上文相呼应，引出下文作者的进一步行动，故选A。 (5)题解析： 下文提到“It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. (这是关于引导我的女儿做出更好的决策，同时不损害我们的关系)”，这里的it一定有所指代。C项“That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case.

Eat for your eyes We all know carrots can support eye health, but there are also a bunch of other fruits and vegetables that are beneficial. Mainly, you want produce that contains vitamins A, C, and E, which can help prevent some diseases like cataracts. Look for dark-colored vegetables such as peppers and sweet potatoes. 2 Give your eyes a break Hours and hours of staring at the screen have become the everyday reality for many of us, and you’ve probably already noticed how straining it can be on your eyes. To help reduce this strain, experts recommend following the 20-20-20 rules. 3 Taking these little breaks can help avoid eye strain. Of course, it’s not a bad idea to keep your eyes away from a screen for an entire day every once in a while. Wear eye protection It’s always a good idea to wear something in situations that might put your eyes at risk, whether you’re playing sports or doing construction work. 4 so it can happen to anyone. With simple eye protection, you can easily avoid permanent injury to your eyes. Don’t forget your sunglasses Other than looking cool, sunglasses protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays(紫外线). 5 Just make sure the sunglasses have lenses that offer ultraviolet protection. A. It is extremely important to spot them early on, B. Such radiations can damage your eyesight over time. C. Other good sources of these nutrients include nuts and seeds. D. That’s because you often look in the long distance for a break. E. About 2,000 people suffer a work-related eye injury every day, F. However, the reality is that vision problems can happen to anyone.

Everyone has access to the same information; the difference lies in how it’s used. 2 Leaders identify opportunities in situations and help others do the same. Crucially, you don’t need to be born with this skill, instead it can be built by focusing on opportunities, especially in tough times. Allison Task once worked at EarthWeb, where CEO Jack Hidary (a former NYC mayor candidate) often said, “ 3 ” He would explain market ideas, then wait for team members to rephrase the vision in their own words — ensuring everyone felt invested in the goal. While this communication takes time, it avoids the bigger trouble of leading alone while the team members wander off in different directions. Task once greeted a therapist who has an office in her building. He responded, “Crazy, like usual,” and hurried off. He’s talking about being crazy. 4 If he can’t do that in his own life, how can he help people live theirs? Leaders are constant role models. Their behavior — from how they treat others to their personal habits regarding sleep, diet, and exercise — is continuously observed and subconsciously followed by their team. In conclusion, the journey to becoming an effective leader is accessible to all. It begins with cultivating a mindset that seeks opportunity in adversity, ensures shared understanding through deliberate communication, and leads by example in both professional and personal conduct. 5 A. It isn’t said until everyone says it. B. Isn’t a therapist’s goal to help people be less crazy? C. Real leaders don’t get trapped in the wormhole of social media. D.

Do you find yourself forcing a smile and lying when people ask how you’re doing? 1 It can be stressful when you’re going through a hard time. Luckily, things can get better in time, if you face it wisely. 2 Some stressors, like a bad relationship, need to end. Others like stressful schoolwork or hard-to-please relatives may be difficult to deal with. Focus on your needs, goals, and responsibilities, and then choose a strategy: plan time to recharge before or after dealing with them; use tools like music or healthy snacks while handling; communicate your stress; set limits on their impact; or cut them off if needed. Learn about how other people have managed similar challenges. 3 But you should still find out how they felt and what action they decided to take. It might give you strength or inspire you. Try an in-person or an online support group. Even if you don’t want to speak up, listening can be helpful. Keep in mind that not everyone has good advice. Pay attention to your feelings. Reflect on what happened. What happened, and how did it make you feel? How did it affect you and others? What is the big problem here — the hard part that makes it difficult to get over this particular memory? 4 Do something nice for anyone you hurt. If they are open to seeing you, give them a gift, write them a nice note, or apologize in person. 5 You can fix relationships and overcome guilt (内疚) by being kind to the people you hurt. A. Do something meaningful for you. B. Their situation may be a bit different. C. Manage the things that bring you down. D. Sometimes, you don’t feel like you’re okay. E. If you broke something, ask if you can help fix it. F. Work on being patient and reaching out to others having bad days. G. Writing down your thoughts on these questions helps sort out messy emotions. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. G 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了当人们感到失落、沮丧或压力重重时，应该如何面对并改善这种状况。 (1)题解析： 上文“Do you find yourself forcing a smile and lying when people ask how you’re doing?(当别人问你过得怎么样时，你是否发现自己强颜欢笑，撒谎？)”描述掩饰真实情绪的行为，D选项“Sometimes, you don’t feel like you’re okay.
