Sometimes I’d get 7 and take a shot at the wrong direction, which made me feel really stupid. 8 I wasn’t the only one "new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 9 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 10 in me was winning over my lack of 11 .
With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process-friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much 12 !

I have-gone from “ 14 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 15 I had the rightanswer.

(25-26高二上·河南豫北民办高中·期中)A few years ago, my wife and I took a trip to Costa Rica. Upon arrival, we 1 a car and headed out to our first destination a few hours away. I had a 2 so I figured I’d be in great condition. About 20 minutes into the drive, I found myself 3 in the unmarked streets and dirty roads. Upset, I turned to Siri, a virtual assistant in my phone for help.
I typed the 4 of our destination in my phone and instantly Siri had 5 the best route to get there and we were on our way.
The only 6 was that things didn’t always go the way I thought they would. With the streets not being well marked, I would sometimes miss a turn and head in the 7 direction. Luckily, Siri never got 8 with me. Any time I missed a turn, Siri would simply cut in and say, “Recalculating (重新计算) route. 9 route.” And within a few seconds, Siri would have a new route planned to get us to our destination.
Sometimes the new route meant I had to 10 to the right turn and sometimes she found a different route that took my new location into account. Eventually we made it to our hotel 11 and enjoyed some beautiful scenery along the way.

Besides, there isn’t even the 14 path. There are many paths that can get you to your goals. You just have to be 15 to recalculate your route when you miss a turn or there is something in your way.

(25-26高二上·河南实验中学·期中)We all know someone who fits the description. You may work with one or even be related to one. With Christmas approaching — the season of office parties and family gatherings — you’re more likely to have to 1 with them and rediscover how annoying they can be. I’m talking about know-it-alls: people who enthusiastically 2 others on any topic, even when they clearly know very little about it.
Why do some people act as if they have 3 knowledge on everything? One reason is “naive realism (朴素现实主义)” — the automatic belief that our personal 4 of the world reflects objective reality. In truth, everything we perceive is shaped by cognitive biases (认知偏见)and emotions. What’s in our heads is often 5 actual reality, but we rarely notice. As a result, when others see things differently, we tend to think they are 6 . For many, this creates a strong desire to “correct” others. Though well-intentioned, this behavior remains deeply 7 .
This can be the full story, 8 , as countless people believe others are wrong, yet never do or say anything about it. Another factor may be 9 : the “false sense of knowing it all.”A study in PLoS ONE describes how people often 10 they have enough information — even when they don’t. Logically, it’s hard to account for what we don’t know.
The 11 of naive realism and this illusion makes some believe they know more than others. Add the Dunning-Kruger effect — where people with low ability 12 their skills — and the problem grows. Such individuals 13 to recognize when others know more. Yet because people often respond more to confidence than 14 , they often get away with it. Over time, they may become 15 convinced they’re right about almost everything — even when they’re not.
1. A. identify B. interact C. compete D. cooperate
2. A. warn B. acknowledge C. lecture D. inspire
3. A. superior B. efficient C. potential D. dynamic
4. A. impression B. recognition C. imagination D. perception
5. A. distinct from B. similar to C. free from D. relative to
6. A. practical B. unacceptable C. wrong D. distant
7. A. bothering B. relevant C. rewarding D. insignificant
8. A. thus B. however C. meanwhile D. moreover
9. A. at work B. at hand C. in place D. under control
10. A. infer B. assume C. detect D. reveal
11. A. combination B. assumption C. component D. association
12. A. evaluate B. overlook C. overestimate D. combine
13. A. expect B. hesitate C. pretend D. struggle
14. A. honesty B. credit C. authority D. accuracy
15. A. enthusiasts B. experts C. critics D. optimists
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A 12. C 13. D 14. D 15. B

(25-26高二上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中)I used to think there were two types of people: the ones who only use subtitles (字幕) when necessary, and the unappreciative crowd who use them for no good reason. I clung to this idea, arguing that they distracted audiences from the 1 of the movie-watching experience: the filmmakers’ attention to detail, the glimpse of a tear in an actor’s eye, and so on.
But I have been forced to recognize how 2 I am on this point. In 2025, a survey run by streaming service U found that 87% of young Britons are using subtitles more than they used to. Among my peers, “two types” of people have 3 “mostly one type”.
Why is this practice so 4 among people my age? If you aren’t 5 and are fluent in the language of the dialogue, what is it that makes subtitles 6 ? An easy assumption is that this is the result of a short attention span, passivity and a lazy nature, a failure of Generation Zombie.
The U survey revealed that 80% of gen Z and millennials “ double-screen” while watching. I find myself being able to quickly 7 what characters have said, look down at my phone, react, then look up before they have even finished their line. The subtitles allow us to go on our phone but still grasp the main idea of the program. 8 , that means they function as mini-spoilers: when watching a comedy sketch recently; I found myself laughing at a joke before it had left the actor’s mouth — because I had already read it on the screen.
Social media has encouraged the use of subtitles. It is now a(n) 9 that most creators add on-screen text to their videos; without the option to turn them off. This 10 shift may explain why younger viewers prefer rapidfire content and videos with faster cuts 11 at a higher speed, which subtitles allow us to do.
This isn’t simply a trend but a feature: 12 in social media’s algorithms (算法). Text subtitles, rather than dialogue, encourage the video to appear in the TikTok search engine, increasing reach and 13 as well as viewing time. It began as an accessibility improvement, but the rapidity with which it has caught on suggests it’s crucial to getting that sweet algorithm boost. Seen this way, subtitles have been 14 as a result of our technology-affected lifestyle rather than something we have 15 adopted.
1. A. limitation B. ability C. assessment D. purity
2. A. justified B. determined C. alone D. influential
3. A. left off B. compensated for C. given way to D. identified with

【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇议论文。作者指出,如今年轻人看电影时普遍使用字幕,这与过去认为只必要时才用的观点不同。文章分析了这种现象的原因,包括社交媒体算法鼓励使用字幕以及满足快节奏需求,认为字幕使用已成为一种趋势,并受到技术和社会因素的影响。
(1)题解析:
考查名词词义辨析。句意:我坚持这个观点,认为字幕会分散观众对观影体验纯粹性的注意力:电影制作人对细节的关注、演员眼中闪现的泪光等等。A. limitation限制;B. ability能力;C. assessment评估;D. purity纯粹性。根据后文“the filmmakers’ attention to detail, the glimpse of a tear in an actor’s eye, and so on”可知,电影制作人对细节的关注、演员眼中的泪光等都是观影体验中纯粹、美好的部分,作者认为字幕会分散观众对这些的注意力,所以此处指观影体验的纯粹性。故选D项。
(2)题解析:
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:但我不得不承认,在这一点上我是孤立的。A. justified合理的;B. determined坚定的;C. alone孤立的;D. influential有影响力的。根据后文“In 2025, a survey run by streaming service U found that 87% of young Britons are using subtitles more than they used to.”可知,调查显示大部分年轻英国人更多地使用字幕了,这与作者之前的观点不同,所以作者意识到自己在这一点上是孤立的(只有我自己这么坚持)。故选C项。
(3)题解析:
考查动词短语辨析。句意:在我的同龄人中,“两种类型”的人大多已经让位于“一种类型”了。A. left off停止;B. compensated for补偿;C. given way to让位于;D. identified with认同。根据前文“In 2025, a survey run by streaming service U found that 87% of young Britons are using subtitles more than they used to”说明作者认为人分“必要时用字幕”和“无故用字幕”两类,后文提到多数年轻人用字幕,说明“两类人”的划分被“一类人”取代,given way to符合“旧分类被新情况取代”的逻辑。。故选C项。
(4)题解析:
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:为什么这种做法(用字幕)在我这个年龄的人中如此普遍?A. inaccessible难以接近的;B. amusing有趣的;C. unimaginable难以想象的;D. dominant占主导地位的,普遍的。根据前文“87% of young Britons are using subtitles more than they used to”可知,大部分年轻英国人更多地使用字幕了,说明这种做法在年轻人中很普遍。故选D项。
(5)题解析:

(6)题解析:
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:如果你没有听力障碍,并且能流利地说对话中的语言,是什么让字幕有吸引力呢?A. comprehensive全面的;B. appealing有吸引力的;C. unnecessary不必要的;D. optional可选择的。根据前文“Why is this practice so ____4____ among people my age?”可知,作者在探讨为什么年轻人普遍使用字幕,即是什么让字幕对年轻人有吸引力。故选B项。
(7)题解析:
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我发现自己能够快速理解角色所说的话,低头看手机,做出反应,然后在他们说完台词之前就抬起头来。A. criticize批评;B. replay重放;C. gather理解,听清;D. dismiss解散。根据后文“but still grasp the main idea of the program”可知,此处指理解角色所说的话。故选C项。
(8)题解析:
考查副词词义辨析。句意:当然,这意味着它们起到了迷你剧透的作用:最近看一个喜剧小品时,我发现自己在演员还没说出笑话时就笑了——因为我已经在屏幕上读到了。A. Fortunately幸运地;B. Of course当然;C. Instead相反;D. Otherwise否则。根据后文“that means they function as mini-spoilers”可知,字幕能让人们在角色说完台词前就了解内容,这当然意味着它们起到了迷你剧透的作用。故选B项。
(9)题解析:
考查名词词义辨析。句意:现在大多数创作者在视频中添加屏幕文字已成为一种常态;而且没有关闭它们的选项。A. controversy争议;B. exception例外;C. norm常态;D. substitute替代品。根据后文“most creators add on-screen text to their videos; without the option to turn them off”可知,大多数创作者都会在视频中添加屏幕文字,且不能关闭,这说明这已经成为一种常态。故选C项。
(10)题解析:

(25-26高二上·河南周口太康县第一高级中学-11月·期中)I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to myself. And unless otherwise 1 a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this 2 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I 3 the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 4 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 5 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the half of it! When I first started 6 the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much worse what I was doing. Sometimes I’d get 7 and take a shot at the wrong direction, which made me feel really stupid. 8 I wasn’t the only one "new” at the game, so I decided to focus on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t 9 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the “moves”. Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 10 in me was winning over my lack of 11 .
With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process-friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much 12 !

I have-gone from “ 14 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 15 I had the rightanswer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

I had a 2 so I figured I’d be in great condition. About 20 minutes into the drive, I found myself 3 in the unmarked streets and dirty roads. Upset, I turned to Siri, a virtual assistant in my phone for help.
I typed the 4 of our destination in my phone and instantly Siri had 5 the best route to get there and we were on our way.
The only 6 was that things didn’t always go the way I thought they would. With the streets not being well marked, I would sometimes miss a turn and head in the 7 direction. Luckily, Siri never got 8 with me. Any time I missed a turn, Siri would simply cut in and say, “Recalculating (重新计算) route. 9 route.” And within a few seconds, Siri would have a new route planned to get us to our destination.
Sometimes the new route meant I had to 10 to the right turn and sometimes she found a different route that took my new location into account. Eventually we made it to our hotel 11 and enjoyed some beautiful scenery along the way.

(25-26高二上·河南郑州第一中学·期中)One afternoon in Sierra Leone’s Bombali District, my jeep passed fields where children harvested crops. 1 , I approached a tall, thin teenager working hard under the blazing sun.
“Shouldn’t you be in class?” I asked, noticing the pencil behind his ear. Issa, 16, 2 his forehead with a worn-out sleeve. “The school building 3 after the rains,” he explained. “Without walls, we take turns 4 under a mango tree when the teacher comes.”
His words 5 Sierra Leone’s contradiction in education. While the government 6 school fees in 2018 and built hundreds of new schools, many still need repairs. About 32% of children here still 7 primary school — though down from 62% a decade ago.
“Last month,” Issa 8 , “they gave us textbooks”, making a 9 to his barefoot sisters. “But no shoes means no school.” Later, at a UNICEF center, I saw 10 in action: solar lamps, shared notebooks, mobile libraries reaching 11 villages.
National enrollment rose from 1.2 million to 2.1 million since 12 began. Girls’ attendance jumped by 37%, with programs like free lunches helping stop kids from leaving school due to 13 . As I left, Issa’s sisters in tire-sandals (凉鞋) were 14 a book bicycle. Their laughter showed the 15 of Sierra Leone’s education change: every child’s right to learn.

(25-26高二上·河南周口商水县第一高中-11月·期中)The ground shook as a train thundered into the London Underground and stopped. Almost blind, I carefully edged my way through the doors to a 1 seat.
Suddenly, a man asked me, “Excuse me, do you have the time?” Was this a cruel joke? 2 , I replied, making my anger clear. Only later, when we both stood up to leave the train, did I 3 his guide cane (拐杖). He was blind, too! I felt terrible for being 4 .
Weeks later, I was 5 to sing in the National Institute for Blind People. Yes, my ears had significantly made up for what my eyes 6 . Upon arriving there, I was introduced to the man who was to 7 me on the piano. “I’m Stefan,” he said. 8 , I recognized that voice — the man on the train! Together, we 9 two well-known songs.

We became friends soon, fell in love within a few months and got 12 that Christmas.

(25-26高二上·河南实验中学·期中)We all know someone who fits the description. You may work with one or even be related to one. With Christmas approaching — the season of office parties and family gatherings — you’re more likely to have to 1 with them and rediscover how annoying they can be. I’m talking about know-it-alls: people who enthusiastically 2 others on any topic, even when they clearly know very little about it.
Why do some people act as if they have 3 knowledge on everything? One reason is “naive realism (朴素现实主义)” — the automatic belief that our personal 4 of the world reflects objective reality. In truth, everything we perceive is shaped by cognitive biases (认知偏见)and emotions. What’s in our heads is often 5 actual reality, but we rarely notice. As a result, when others see things differently, we tend to think they are 6 . For many, this creates a strong desire to “correct” others. Though well-intentioned, this behavior remains deeply 7 .
This can be the full story, 8 , as countless people believe others are wrong, yet never do or say anything about it. Another factor may be 9 : the “false sense of knowing it all.”A study in PLoS ONE describes how people often 10 they have enough information — even when they don’t. Logically, it’s hard to account for what we don’t know.
The 11 of naive realism and this illusion makes some believe they know more than others. Add the Dunning-Kruger effect — where people with low ability 12 their skills — and the problem grows. Such individuals 13 to recognize when others know more. Yet because people often respond more to confidence than 14 , they often get away with it. Over time, they may become 15 convinced they’re right about almost everything — even when they’re not.

(25-26高二上·河南郑州外国语学校·期中)I used to think there were two types of people: the ones who only use subtitles (字幕) when necessary, and the unappreciative crowd who use them for no good reason. I clung to this idea, arguing that they distracted audiences from the 1 of the movie-watching experience: the filmmakers’ attention to detail, the glimpse of a tear in an actor’s eye, and so on.
But I have been forced to recognize how 2 I am on this point. In 2025, a survey run by streaming service U found that 87% of young Britons are using subtitles more than they used to. Among my peers, “two types” of people have 3 “mostly one type”.
Why is this practice so 4 among people my age? If you aren’t 5 and are fluent in the language of the dialogue, what is it that makes subtitles 6 ? An easy assumption is that this is the result of a short attention span, passivity and a lazy nature, a failure of Generation Zombie.
The U survey revealed that 80% of gen Z and millennials “ double-screen” while watching. I find myself being able to quickly 7 what characters have said, look down at my phone, react, then look up before they have even finished their line. The subtitles allow us to go on our phone but still grasp the main idea of the program. 8 , that means they function as mini-spoilers: when watching a comedy sketch recently; I found myself laughing at a joke before it had left the actor’s mouth — because I had already read it on the screen.
Social media has encouraged the use of subtitles. It is now a(n) 9 that most creators add on-screen text to their videos; without the option to turn them off. This 10 shift may explain why younger viewers prefer rapidfire content and videos with faster cuts 11 at a higher speed, which subtitles allow us to do.
This isn’t simply a trend but a feature: 12 in social media’s algorithms (算法). Text subtitles, rather than dialogue, encourage the video to appear in the TikTok search engine, increasing reach and 13 as well as viewing time. It began as an accessibility improvement, but the rapidity with which it has caught on suggests it’s crucial to getting that sweet algorithm boost. Seen this way, subtitles have been 14 as a result of our technology-affected lifestyle rather than something we have 15 adopted.

(25-26高二上·河南郑州十校联考·期中)Contrary to (与……相反) popular belief, the secret to confident public speaking is not about getting rid of your nerves. The key is to redefine your anxiety as 1 .
A few years ago, my team and I led a leadership communication training program for a large financial institution. One banking manager in particular was incredibly 2 about public speaking. 3 the fact that she had a warm personality which might 4 speaking, the idea of speaking in public 5 her to the point of near paralysis (瘫痪).
But rather than 6 her nervousness, every time she had to get up and 7 to our group, she would shout, “That’s 8 !” And we’d all laugh with her 9 we knew it really meant— “I’m terrified”. And in spite of the nerves, her presentations were very 10 . That phrase became an inside reference within our small group: Every time someone was 11 before speaking, they’d shout, “That’s amazing” when they stood up and we’d all 12 .
Anxiety and excitement are actually very, very 13 , but anxiety and calmness are too far apart.

(25-26高二上·河南郑州宇华实验学校-11月·期中)My childhood was mostly silent. It was full of love, laughter, anger and sadness like any family, but these things occurred. The knowledge instilled (灌输) in me was 1 by watching my mother as she moved through her 2 world.
I loved to watch her hands, which were always 3 me things by showing me how, as she watered, weeded and dug her garden. The hands were rough with cuts and 4 , but filled with wisdom.
Sometimes, those same hands spoke to me literally. Basic 5 language started in the family quite suddenly but then 6 just as quickly. My mother 7 that lip-reading was quicker. She would look at me intently and 8 words such as, “watch this” or “this is how”, or “never touch this plant”. We often went for hours like this, 9 a word spoken and yet we were talking in various ways the whole time.
As I grew up, I began to understand why my mother spent so much time in her garden. Her deafness had come during an era of little tolerance for diversity, and much 10 of disability. 11 the world outside was demanding and unforgiving, her garden was full of kindness and 12 .

(25-26高二上·河南方城县第一高级中学-11月·期中)Last summer, I joined a volunteer program in a rural African village. I was 1 to teach English and build friendships. My first week was filled with 2 — I taught children basic phrases, played games, and even learned a few words in their local language. 3 , reality hit hard soon.
One morning, a storm flooded the village’s only classroom, 4 textbooks and chairs. The villagers, struggling with poverty, had no money to repair it. My heart 5 — how could I continue teaching without resources?
That night, I lay awake, brainstorming 6 . Then I remembered my phone’s flashlight app. “We can hold classes under the stars!” I suggested. The villagers were 7 , but anyway, we cleared a patch (小块) of land, borrowed chairs from neighbors, and used my phone’s light to 8 vocabulary words onto a white sheet. The outdoor classes worked surprisingly 9 . Children laughed as they traced letters in the dirt, and parents joined, 10 about the “glowing lessons”. But trouble struck again when my phone 11 mid-lesson. Silence fell. A boy named Kofi suddenly stood up, 12 a small solar lantern he’d made from scrap (碎片) metal. “Use this,” he said proudly. Over the next weeks, Kofi and other kids 13 more lanterns, and our “night school” thrived (蓬勃发展). By the end of the program, the community had raised funds to rebuild the classroom. I left with tears in my eyes — not from sadness, but from 14 .

(25-26高二上·河南天立教育·期中)The Poseidon Effect
Late one autumn day at the local swimming pool in Ancenis, France, an 18-year-old named Jean LeRoy came for his regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and 1 in the way it happens on television. Most people drown quite 2 , with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On the evening, LeRoy was testing how far he could swim underwater 3 one breath. At some moment, as he was doing this, he became unconscious. 4 he tried he couldn’t breathe. He sank to the bottom of the pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was 5 with an electronic surveillance system called Poseidon. Although the human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing. Poseidon has underwater cameras which 6 people as they swim. The cameras are connected to a computer. It is 7 to recognize 8 a swimmer is not moving normally. The lifeguards at the Ancenis pool were wearing a special device that 9 when the computer detected a possible problem. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed LeRoy’s body, the lifeguards had pulled him out of the pool. He started breathing again. After one night in hospital, he was sent home completely 10 . Poseidon had saved his life.
Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live. Think of your life before the answering machine was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change will be just as great. It is 11 happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will 12 for drowning people, for 13 carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines 14 quiet signals to nearby computers, which will send information to your doctor, your lawyer, and the local police. As time passes, more and more of our lives will be 15 by machines. They will know all about us.
