专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·广东多校联考·期中）Running Tips for beginners Although running can seem challenging before you start, once you get going, and as you keep going, you will be rewarded. That could be improved health or new friends. 1 So, ready to begin your life as a runner? Read our running tips for beginners. • 2 No matter what your running goal, you should find a plan that suits your personal needs. All good plans offer several weeks worth of workouts, which help you develop your running in a safe and enjoyable manner. You’ll also be surprised at how easily you can fit running into your daily life and how quickly running can become a habit. •Find safe, traffic-free routes. Before you start running, plan some local running routes that you can follow in various weather conditions at different times of the year — and which feel safe for you and are traffic-free wherever possible. 3 So you can see oncoming vehicles and react quickly. •Run at a time that suits you. The best time of day to run is the time that suits you and your lifestyle. Don’t try to force yourself to run at a time that you think might be best. Many people find it easier to run in the morning. 4 Find a time that works for you and try to stick to this as your regular running time. ●Control your pace. How can you tell if you’re running at the right pace? If you could sing while running, speed up a little. But if you find yourself struggling for breath, you’re probably going too fast and you should slow down a little bit. A good rule of thumb is to run at an easy pace. 5 A. Follow a training plan. B. Set your running goal. C. Or, you’ll get much more. D. But that doesn’t work for everyone. E. Slow down your pace when running on hills. F. If you do need to run on the road, make sure you run against the traffic. G. That is, you could hold a conversation along the way, even just a sentence at a time. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·广东佛山顺德区北滘中学·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·广东清远联考·期中）What time do schools typically start? 1 In Brazil, classes begin at 7:00 a.m., while in Australia, students walk through school doors at 9:00 a.m. In the US, schedules vary, but many schools start before 8:00. 2 For years, this has been a source of debate. Now, more US school districts are beginning to take the advice of scientists who advocate that asking teens to show up to class before 8:00 a.m. isn’t good for their health or study. In fact, research from countries around the world confirms that teens who get enough sleep are healthier overall. 3 Studies indicate that delaying school start time is a key factor in helping teens improve their academic performance. However, why don’t all high schools start later? 4 In the US, public schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, delayed the adoption of later start time for all its high school students because of transportation issues. “It would have cost about $8 million to buy the needed buses,” explained Jackie Statum Allen, assistant director for strategic planning and policy. “It would be much better to put that money into the classroom rather than the gas tank,” Allen explained. Moreover, not all teens favor a later school day. Many are concerned that a later school day will cause problems. Students may have less time for after-school jobs, athletics, or other extracurricular activities. 5 A. They also do better in school. B. It depends on where they are. C. The difficulties are often financial. D. This may also cause them to stay up later. E. So is an earlier or a later start time better? F. Some schools cut extra-curricular due to budget issues. G. Do parents prefer schools to start as early as possible? Passage 4 （25-26高二上·广东粤东四校·期中）How to Stay Safe Online It’s no secret that the internet is home to some shady characters, but staying safe online doesn’t require you to turn your internet off. Instead, stay mindful and take a look at these easy tips on internet safety. 1 When it comes to online safety, it goes without saying that you should never share your passwords, banking information, or address online. Keep in mind that identity theft isn’t the only risk. 2 For example, information about your relationships could be used to figure out answers to your security questions or even give hackers (黑客) a tip-off when it comes to guessing your password. Double-check any links before you click. When checking your email or looking through social media, make sure you know and trust any links before you click on them. One way to tell if a link is safe is to run a mouse over it. 3 Check to make sure the preview link matches the site it should be from. You can verify (证实) the correct site link by googling the company name. Create and use complex passwords. You should always use complex passwords to improve internet safety. If you need some help coming up with a secure password, here are some tips. Make it at least 15 characters long-longer, if possible. 4 Don’t use sequences of numbers or letters, like “qwerty.” Back up your data. Most Macs and PCs have the option to let you back up your data, and it’s worthwhile taking the time to do it every so often. Data backups can be a lifesaver if your computer gets infected with a virus. 5 A. Be careful who you chat with. B. Mix up letters, numbers, and symbols. C. Don’t share your personal information. D. This will show a preview of the full link. E. This tip includes links sent to you by friends. F. You can restore your computer to its original state. G. Some details are riskier to share than you’d expect. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·广东深圳外国语高中·期中）High school is an exciting opportunity to continue learning and growing. 1 This is because high school is an important step to help you prepare for college and develop your skills. Below are some pieces of advice to follow as you go through high school so that you can get the most out of your experience. The first year of high school can be challenging. Maybe your grades aren’t as good as you’d like, or maybe you don’t take part in as many activities as you have hoped. 2 Try to think about your strengths and weaknesses and set some goals for the coming year. You will grow rapidly each year of high school. 3 When you have adapted to the level of the course, you should push yourself by choosing levels that are more difficult in your school’s courses. All of the skills you build upon this habit provide an important foundation (基础) for your life in the following years. In high school, you may find that you have more chances than you did in middle school. If you find that these possibilities are offered to you, try out a new hobby, learn a new skill, or meet a new person in school. 4 The activities may introduce you to new opportunities for personal growth. The growth during high school is not limited to the campus. Whenever possible, you should try to join in activities to support your community. This could be playing a community sport, doing community service, or caring for a family member. 5 A. So it’s okay if it doesn’t go perfectly. B. What you choose to do is completely up to you. C. This means making and sticking to study schedules. D. You should challenge yourself to the best of your ability. E. These social practices will in turn benefit your school life. F.

Passage 6 （25-26高二上·广东H7联盟·12月大联考）It seems as if the successful people don’t have challenges since they have a lot of wealth, power, and status. 1 . These are four steps they usually use to overcome it. Trust your inner strength You must believe that the situations you’re going through — the good, the bad, and the ugly — are for a purpose, all helping shape you into the person you were born to be. At the same time, you must believe that you have been given the power to overcome them. 2 . Dare to think positively 3 . But that doesn’t do anything. Think to yourself: Have worrying ever solved a problem? Never has it and never will it. The right mindset and the right attitude will always help overcome negative situations. So, when you face adversity (逆境), discipline yourself to see the best in it. Your positive thinking will turn your situation around for your good. 4 When we experience hardships, we may take them as misfortunes that have come to mess up our lives and destroy the future we have in store for ourselves. Actually, they give us life lessons that no lecture in the world can offer. Struggles bring experience and with experience comes progress. So, when you face adversity, take it as a lesson for a brighter tomorrow. Pick your influencers wisely This is an important thing to consider when facing adversity. Usually, the first thing we do when we have a situation is panic and call someone. But if that person happens to be a “worrier”, it will cause more pain to the situation. Make it your priority to surround yourself with the right company. 5 . A. It’s the pathway to success B. Let adversity be your teacher C. It’s human nature to over-react, worry, and complain D. With your belief, you’ll see things start to turn out that way E. Their words and attitude will soon help improve your situation F. Yet they become what they are because of the art they handle adversity G. Everything you experience is the result of choices you have made in the past Passage 1 （25-26高二上·广东两校联考·期中）Ways To Increase The Quality of Your Life It is time to do something to increase the quality of your life. Nothing can beat living an active, purposeful, successful life filled with happiness and fulfillment. 1 Treat yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s a meal out, or a visit to a theater. Make the first thing you do a treat that you have been longing for some time. 2 Treats can be free, and you can always make time. Take up a hobby. When you lead a boring life, it is great to have something to think about that takes you into another world. 3 If you love to read, devote time to just sitting with a book and losing yourself in an imaginary world. The whole point of a hobby is that it is something for you, so it doesn’t matter what it is as long as you enjoy it. 4 Often we lose sight of the positive, beneficial things in our lives. Everyone has things to be grateful for and making a list helps to concentrate your mind on these positives. Allow yourself a few minutes to think about your life and identify the good things. Exercise. 5 Go running, or get down to the gym. Sweat out the negatives and get fit for the future. Follow the advice above and you will surely increase the quality of your life. A. Create a gratitude list. B. Doing morning exercise makes you fresh. C. Make the most of the years you have on Earth. D. Don’t make excuses about not having time or money. E. Taking exercise is an excellent way of boosting your mood. F. Hobbies are brilliant for giving you something different to do. G. Read our list of things to do now to make your life better and more enjoyable. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·广东东莞松莞和深大附中联考·期中）When we are kids, we laugh a lot. But as we become adults, it is much more difficult to laugh so easily. Do you laugh too little in your life? Do you remember how you used to laugh before, as a child? 1 . It’s a great way to relax, not just on a purely emotional level, but also physically. It can reduce our blood pressure. It also contributes to the release of hormones (荷尔蒙) that are good for our health. 2 . It helps us feel more at ease around new people and also connects us with others. Sometimes, you might feel like there is not much cause to laugh. Life can be tough. But laughter is, if not the best medicine, a good support to have for tough times and for good times as well. So you should allow yourself to laugh as you used to. A good idea is to give yourself permission to play. Play is a natural activity that promotes a lot of laughter, whether it's through video games, outdoor games, or board games. 3 . Laughter comes from being with others. 4 . Hang out with family members that are nice to be around, with whom you can have fun, laugh, and enjoy yourself. Give your time to those who can share your laughter.

It’s an act of self-care that allows you to clear your mind, take a break from stress, and let your imagination run wild. You don’t have to be Mozart or Picasso to get creative! 1 From writing a journal to doing an arts and crafts project, enjoy all the benefits of promoting creativity. It helps reduce stress. Stress can have a bad influence on your mental and physical health. Therefore, stress management techniques are important for your well-being. Engaging in creative activities can help have a more positive mindset. 2 Instead, you allow your mind to wander freely as you come up with your own unique and creative ideas. It makes you more adaptable. Life doesn’t always go as planned. Learning to take creative approaches can help you deal with these types of situations easily. It teaches you problem-solving skills that enable you to think outside the box. 3 It helps deal with emotions. Whether you’re recording your thoughts, or getting lost in an arts and crafts project, the goal is to release what no longer serves you. 4 Undoubtedly, this imagination is one of the mind’s most powerful tools for healing. It’s less about the final product and more about the freedom in the process. 5 If you feel lost, set aside more time for creative pursuits. Everyday creativity, from handmade gifts to hobbies, deepens your personal development and brings joy. Finding a passion for creative work can also help shape your identity. It gives you a sense of direction as you try to get better and better at your creative goals. A. It improves your brain health. B. It gives a sense of meaning and purpose. C. There are enough activities available to anyone. D. These small creative acts arouse your imagination E. These activities improve your abilities to perform well. F.

Passage 4 （25-26高二上·广东东莞五校联考·期中）How Mobile Technology has Changed Our Lives Forever The invention of the mobile phone and mobile technology was incredible. 1 Here we highlight the most common ones that technology is changing our lives today. ● Mobile technology has changed how we communicate. The advancement of technology has made communication unbelievably fast and convenient. In the past, writing a letter or finding a wired telephone was the best way to communicate remotely with someone. 2 You can send them a message on social media, text them, video chat, email, or put a call through. ● Mobile technology creates the “Everything” device. With many businesses mobile technologies have brought about, there are some products that they have made out of date. Now just one device has replaced the portable (便携式的) music player, alarm clock, GPS, calculator, camera, flashlight, calendar and much more. 3 ● Mobile technology leads to ever-present distraction. In many places, it’s a common sight to see just about everyone with a mobile phone within arm’s reach. In the first two ways listed above, that can be useful. 4 As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today’s society, research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects, the majority of which are related to mental health. 5 We should accept that mobile technologies are here to stay and improve our lives for the better in spite of its shortcomings. In my opinion, its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. A. We cannot ignore its disadvantages. B. All in all, mobile devices greatly benefit our lives. C. However, instant access is not always a good thing. D. While these things do still exist, they are no longer absolutely essential. E. Nowadays, you are blessed with more efficient options at your fingertips. F. The conventional way of doing shopping has also changed beyond imagination. G. Since then, advances in mobile technology have shaped our lives in various ways. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·广东东莞七校联考·期中）Tips to Create Great Readers Are great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. 1 Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. 2 The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. 3 For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” 4 By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion. Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. 5 So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers. A. Build habits at the moment of error. B. Make sure children fall in love with reading. C. Then, you can review their written responses. D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits. E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information. G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. Passage 6 （25-26高二上·广东茂名信宜11月·期中）Losing a small wetland might not seem like a big problem for the whole world or even a whole country. 1 Now, when it rains, the town gets flooded. And it’s terrible for the special animals and plants that live there. Luckily, countries and international groups are starting to see how important wetlands are — both for local places and the whole world. Some have made “no-net-loss” rules to make sure the total number of wetlands won’t get smaller. 2 3 For example, over $10 billion (£8.2 billion) has been used on a 35-year plan to fix the Florida Everglades. This is a special group of subtropical wetlands, and it’s the biggest and most expensive ecological repair project in the world. Many places are also making new wetlands. In Britain, beavers (水獭) are being brought back to some enclosed areas. It’s hoped this will make more wetlands in the country, and bring all the good things these homes can give. Beaver dams (坝) and the wetlands they make can cut flooding by up to 60%. 4 One study found that because of these cute “workers”, the number of local mammal (哺乳动物) types went up by 86%. It doesn’t really matter if the world has lost 20% or 50% of its wetlands. 5 As the UN said recently, 1 billion people depend on wetlands to make a living. Saving and fixing these important homes is key to having a future where we can live well without harming the planet. A. But it’s really bad for the nearby town. B. They also help more wild animals live there. C. Wetlands provide food and homes for beavers. D. After all, wetlands seem less important than rivers. E. That means builders must fix any wetlands they destroy. F. Wetlands are being protected around the world at huge costs. G. What matters is that people stop regarding wetlands as useless. Passage 7 （25-26高二上·广东茂名高州市-11月·期中）Sometimes the best way to get through the tough times in life is to take a lighthearted approach. 1 Go to play. Adult responsibilities like paying bills or busy schedules can make life feel too serious. Sometimes, we need to break free and have a little fun. Who said playtime was just for kids? 2 In fact, setting aside time to just have fun can do wonders for your well-being. Playfulness helps relieve stress, improve brain health and creativity, and strengthen relationships. 3 Life often throws us into tense situations, causing physical and emotional stress. But you can take some of that pressure off with a little laughter. It brings all kinds of benefits, like higher life satisfaction, self-esteem, job performance, creativity, social bonding, and emotional adjustment. So, make a little time for laughter, whether it’s to phone a friend that makes you smile or watch a comedy that makes you feel happy. Lighten your load (负担). 4 Forgiveness can help lighten your emotional load. Letting go of these negative emotions brings peace and hope. But forgiveness doesn’t have to mean forgetting or excusing harm done to you. Instead, it frees you from its control. It can lead to many positive outcomes, including stronger relationships, improved mental and physical health and a stronger sense of self. 5 A. Make room for laughter. B. Smile at the little mistakes. C. Though challenging, it helps you move forward positively. D. Let’s take a look at how to be lighthearted and why it matters. E. Getting older doesn’t mean taking things so seriously all the time. F. Holding onto anger and pain from past hurts can weigh you down. G. Even if it doesn’t come naturally, anyone can develop a more cheerful outlook. Passage 8 （25-26高二上·广东化州普通高中·期中）Bossy, dominant, controlling — have these labels ever come to mind when you think of others or yourself? Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 1 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. 2 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 3 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 4 Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 5 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. Passage 9 （25-26高二上·广东揭阳联考·期中）It is important to be mindful of your body language during a job interview. However, body language can be a bit hard to control in a virtual setting. Here are some tips to help you perform well in a video interview. 1 This simple action shows that you’re fully focused in the interaction, helping to build a connection much like in-person conversations. If your eyes wander away to something else in your environment, your interviewer might assume that you are distracted. Staring at a tiny dot instead of someone’s face might feel strange, but what truly matters is how you come across to the person on the other side of the screen. Mind your facial expressions. 2 Use it during introductions or when responding to lighthearted moments. It conveys enthusiasm and makes you appear more friendly and welcoming. 3 For instance, show confidence and enthusiasm when talking about your accomplishments, and maintain a thoughtful look when answering tough questions. Pay attention to your posture (姿势). The key is to change between sitting upright and leaning in throughout the interview. 4 For example, when the interviewer shares key details about the role or company, a slight lean forward signals heightened interest and attentiveness. If you lean back in your chair, it can give off the impression that you’ re really thrown into the conversation. Use natural hand gestures. After establishing confident eye contact and maintaining an open posture, adding natural hand gestures can not only get your points across but also convey enthusiasm and boost confidence during virtual interviews. Interestingly, research suggests that hand movements can even aid memory and language recall, making you a better storyteller during interviews. Remember to strike a balance. 5 A. Look directly into the camera. B. Keep gestures visible on camera. C. Let your expressions naturally match your words. D. Your hand movements shouldn’t draw too much attention. E. A warm smile can go a long way in setting a positive tone. F. What your body is saying is as much as what you’ re actually saying. G. This variation shows you’ re responding to the flow of the conversation. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·广东佛山S6高质量发展联盟·期中）Take a Thought Walk Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head? 1 But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes. The best ideas can land when you least expect them — but there are things you can do to help them along, and here’s where walking comes in. Even a quick walk can reduce stress, clarify thinking or give your creativity a boost. Here’s why you should put your best foot forward. 2 Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.” The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental ability. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. 3 Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds. Walking and taking big breaths of fresh air are like gently letting the pressure out.” 4 It lets you focus partly, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help. Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking. 5 This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem. A. It helps clear your head for new thoughts. B. Many experts believe walking improves mental health. C. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. D. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. E. Proof for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. F. It might be sitting at your desk in school or working at a computer. G. Participants in a study increased their brainstorming by 60% during/after walks. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·广东四校·期中）There are a few key tips that will help you effectively present your work and your ideas in the professional world. 1 Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in organizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to ad-lib (随口说出) or go off script (脚本) in a personal and confident manner. Practice with a friend. Along with the preparation for the presentation itself, it’s important to practice what you’re going to say ahead of time, preferably with another person who could give you feedback. Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with. 2 Breathe and relax. During the actual presentation, it is important to remember to breathe and relax. This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it. 3 I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right. Control your body language. 4 When giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. Project confidence by looking out at people in the eyes and directing your presentation to the audience instead of behind them. It can also be a helpful tip to have open and inviting body language which can create a connection with the people you’re presenting to. 5 A. Prepare properly. B. Organize your thoughts. C. For instance, a few hand gestures are of great help. D. The most important thing is to have fun and try to show you are listening. E. Researchers say that the majority of communication is nonverbal, and I tend to agree. F. Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts. G. Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk and comfortably support you, but also give constructive criticism. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·广东深圳盟校·11月·期中）Do you love birds and want to get closer to their world? You’re not alone. 1 Now, Bird Buddy, a smart bird feeder, lets you see birds in a new way. Combining technology with nature observation, it opens a window into the lives of your garden’s feathered visitors. One of Bird Buddy’s best features is its camera. It has a built-in camera that captures (捕捉) real-time photos and videos. Connected to Wi-Fi, it sends media of each visiting bird directly to your phone. Whether it’s a lively sparrow or a shy finch, you get a clear, close look with every visit. 2 With this view, bird watching becomes an effortless and thrilling experience. 3 It uses AI to identify over 1,000 bird species. It sends you a notification (通知) when a bird arrives. There’s even a “Name That Bird” feature that lets you name and follow individual birds over time. This function helps you build connection with your backyard guests. Each identified bird is saved into a digital collection. Thus, a visual diary of visits is built. It turns simple watching into a rewarding hobby. But Bird Buddy does more than bring joy. It builds eco-awareness. According to Audubon's Survival by degrees report, two-thirds of North American bird species face threats from climate change.

Passage 4 （25-26高二上·广东广州三校（协和、增中、华侨）·期中）Over the past two decades, research has emerged showing that opportunities for risky play are crucial to healthy physical, mental and emotional development. These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty. 1 In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. 2 Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety, and some environments built for risky play offer clues for progress. Now, researchers think there’s much to uncover about its advantages, yet studying it faces practical barriers. “Most people assume I’d oppose risky play,” says Pamela Fuselli, head of Parachute, a Toronto-based injury-prevention nonprofit. 3 “The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth.” Her words reflect a growing understanding of risky play’s positive impact. The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas. 4 Years later, psychologist Ellen Sandseter noticed how these rules reshaped kids’ risk-taking chances. Importantly, risk isn’t danger. Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky). 5 This clarity helps adults support healthy risky play for kids. A. “I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds. B. But these opportunities are now under threat in many parts of the world. C. Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support. D. Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills. E. However, in many places, the reality of risky play has become quite different. F. The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies. G. Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·广东多校联考·期中）Running Tips for beginners Although running can seem challenging before you start, once you get going, and as you keep going, you will be rewarded.

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.

Now, more US school districts are beginning to take the advice of scientists who advocate that asking teens to show up to class before 8:00 a.m. isn’t good for their health or study. In fact, research from countries around the world confirms that teens who get enough sleep are healthier overall. 3 Studies indicate that delaying school start time is a key factor in helping teens improve their academic performance. However, why don’t all high schools start later? 4 In the US, public schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, delayed the adoption of later start time for all its high school students because of transportation issues. “It would have cost about $8 million to buy the needed buses,” explained Jackie Statum Allen, assistant director for strategic planning and policy. “It would be much better to put that money into the classroom rather than the gas tank,” Allen explained. Moreover, not all teens favor a later school day. Many are concerned that a later school day will cause problems. Students may have less time for after-school jobs, athletics, or other extracurricular activities. 5 A. They also do better in school. B. It depends on where they are. C. The difficulties are often financial. D. This may also cause them to stay up later. E. So is an earlier or a later start time better? F. Some schools cut extra-curricular due to budget issues. G. Do parents prefer schools to start as early as possible? 【答案】1. B 2. E 3. A 4. C 5.

Instead, stay mindful and take a look at these easy tips on internet safety. 1 When it comes to online safety, it goes without saying that you should never share your passwords, banking information, or address online. Keep in mind that identity theft isn’t the only risk. 2 For example, information about your relationships could be used to figure out answers to your security questions or even give hackers (黑客) a tip-off when it comes to guessing your password. Double-check any links before you click. When checking your email or looking through social media, make sure you know and trust any links before you click on them. One way to tell if a link is safe is to run a mouse over it. 3 Check to make sure the preview link matches the site it should be from. You can verify (证实) the correct site link by googling the company name. Create and use complex passwords. You should always use complex passwords to improve internet safety. If you need some help coming up with a secure password, here are some tips. Make it at least 15 characters long-longer, if possible. 4 Don’t use sequences of numbers or letters, like “qwerty.” Back up your data. Most Macs and PCs have the option to let you back up your data, and it’s worthwhile taking the time to do it every so often. Data backups can be a lifesaver if your computer gets infected with a virus. 5 A. Be careful who you chat with. B. Mix up letters, numbers, and symbols. C. Don’t share your personal information. D.

Your positive thinking will turn your situation around for your good. 4 When we experience hardships, we may take them as misfortunes that have come to mess up our lives and destroy the future we have in store for ourselves. Actually, they give us life lessons that no lecture in the world can offer. Struggles bring experience and with experience comes progress. So, when you face adversity, take it as a lesson for a brighter tomorrow. Pick your influencers wisely This is an important thing to consider when facing adversity. Usually, the first thing we do when we have a situation is panic and call someone. But if that person happens to be a “worrier”, it will cause more pain to the situation.

In many places, it’s a common sight to see just about everyone with a mobile phone within arm’s reach. In the first two ways listed above, that can be useful. 4 As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today’s society, research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects, the majority of which are related to mental health. 5 We should accept that mobile technologies are here to stay and improve our lives for the better in spite of its shortcomings. In my opinion, its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. A. We cannot ignore its disadvantages. B. All in all, mobile devices greatly benefit our lives. C.

(现在只用一种设备就取代了便携式音乐播放器、闹钟、GPS、计算器、照相机、手电筒、日历等等。)”可知，由于移动技术的发展，现在的一种设备可以替代多种设备的功能。D项意为“虽然这些东西仍然存在，但它们不再是绝对必要的。”选项内容能够承接上文，这些东西已经被一种设备替代，所以不再是绝对必要的了，选项中的“these things”指代上文提到的“the portable (便携式的) music player, alarm clock, GPS, calculator, camera, flashlight, calendar and much more”。故选D。 (4)题解析： 根据空格后句“As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today’s society, research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects, the majority of which are related to mental health.

Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. 1 Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. 2 The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. Build habits at the moment of writing. Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others. 3 For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing: “What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” 4 By doing this, you can get a better understanding of what guidance the children will need during the discussion. Build habits at the moment of reading. Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. 5 So providing a rich class library and letting children know that they are expected to read for the entire period will ensure their success as lifelong independent readers. A. Build habits at the moment of error. B. Make sure children fall in love with reading. C. Then, you can review their written responses. D. They grow into great readers by learning great habits. E. But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. F. Specific lines or phrases from the text help to reveal that information. G. Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. G 4. C 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些让孩子们养成良好阅读习惯的建议。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Are great readers born or are they made? Obviously, children don’t enter the world knowing how to understand a text or make a prediction. (伟大的阅读者是天生的还是培养出来的？显然，孩子们进入这个世界时并不知道如何理解文本或做出推断)”和下文“Here are some tips for making children great readers by habit. (这里有一些建议，可以让孩子们养成良好的习惯)”可知，伟大的阅读者不是天生的，而是通过习惯培养而成的。D项“They grow into great readers by learning great habits.(他们通过学习伟大的习惯而成长为伟大的读者)”切题，they指代上文提到的children。故选D。 (2)题解析： 此空位于段落开头，应是主旨句。根据上下段中的首句，可知此处应该是一个短小精悍的祈使句。再根据下文“The most critical moment in reading instruction is when children get something wrong. If the child continues practising the skill incorrectly, he or she will build weaker habits. Intervene (干预) with a targeted question, such as “How does this part of the text help you understand this character?” Doing so can prevent poor habits from taking root and build great ones in their place. (阅读教学中最关键的时刻是孩子们做错了什么。如果孩子继续错误地练习技能，他或她会养成更弱的习惯。用一个有针对性的问题进行干预，比如“文本的这一部分如何帮助你理解这个角色？”这样做可以防止不良习惯扎根，并在它们的位置上建立良好的习惯)可知，要在孩子出错时引导他/她养成正确的习惯。A项“Build habits at the moment of error. (在出差错的时候养成习惯)”切题，该项中的the moment of error与下文中的something wrong相吻合，故选A。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Just like adults, children use writing to gather their thoughts about a text and communicate their ideas to others (就像成年人一样，学生们用写作来收集他们对文本的想法，并将他们的想法传达给其他人)”可知，学生用写作表达自己对文本的理解，并将想法传达给别人。由此可知，在培养阅读的同时还可以培养写作技能。G项“Therefore, you can develop their writing and reading skills at the same time. (因此，你可以同时发展他们的写作和阅读技巧)”切题，由Therefore可知前后是一种因果关系，故选G。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“For example, children can first have a discussion about what they’re reading by answering a focus question in writing:“What is the author trying to teach us in this story?” (例如，孩子们可以首先通过书面回答一个焦点问题来讨论他们正在阅读的内容：“作者在这个故事中试图教我们什么？”)”中的first推知，空处应陈述接下来该怎么做。C项“Then, you can review their written responses. (然后，你可以回顾他们的书面回复)”切题，then呼应上文的first。故选C。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Independent reading time is important for any reading programme. It’s a chance for children to put together everything they’ve learnt in reading lessons and fly using their own wings. (独立阅读时间对任何阅读计划都很重要。这是一个机会，让孩子们把他们在阅读课上学到的一切汇集在一起，用自己的翅膀飞翔)”可知，只有当孩子花时间独立阅读时，才会真正地形成阅读习惯。E项“But it only works if they really do spend that time reading. (但只有当他们真的花时间阅读时才会起作用)”切题。故选E。 Passage 6 （25-26高二上·广东茂名信宜11月·期中）Losing a small wetland might not seem like a big problem for the whole world or even a whole country. 1 Now, when it rains, the town gets flooded. And it’s terrible for the special animals and plants that live there. Luckily, countries and international groups are starting to see how important wetlands are — both for local places and the whole world. Some have made “no-net-loss” rules to make sure the total number of wetlands won’t get smaller. 2 3 For example, over $10 billion (£8.2 billion) has been used on a 35-year plan to fix the Florida Everglades. This is a special group of subtropical wetlands, and it’s the biggest and most expensive ecological repair project in the world. Many places are also making new wetlands. In Britain, beavers (水獭) are being brought back to some enclosed areas. It’s hoped this will make more wetlands in the country, and bring all the good things these homes can give. Beaver dams (坝) and the wetlands they make can cut flooding by up to 60%. 4 One study found that because of these cute “workers”, the number of local mammal (哺乳动物) types went up by 86%. It doesn’t really matter if the world has lost 20% or 50% of its wetlands. 5 As the UN said recently, 1 billion people depend on wetlands to make a living. Saving and fixing these important homes is key to having a future where we can live well without harming the planet. A. But it’s really bad for the nearby town. B. They also help more wild animals live there. C. Wetlands provide food and homes for beavers. D. After all, wetlands seem less important than rivers. E. That means builders must fix any wetlands they destroy. F. Wetlands are being protected around the world at huge costs. G. What matters is that people stop regarding wetlands as useless. 【答案】1. A 2. E 3. F 4. B 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了湿地的重要性以及全球为保护和修复湿地所做的努力。 (1)题解析： 上文“Losing a small wetland might not seem like a big problem for the whole world or even a whole country.(失去一个小湿地对整个世界甚至整个国家来说似乎都不是什么大问题)”说明失去小湿地从宏观角度看似乎不是大问题，空处和前文为转折关系，说明从局部角度看有严重后果。所以A项“但对附近的小镇来说真的很糟糕。”符合语境，下文“Now, when it rains, the town gets flooded. And it’s terrible for the special animals and plants that live there.(现在，一下雨，小镇就被淹了。这对生活在那里的特殊动植物来说太可怕了)”进一步说明了这种糟糕的情况。故选A。 (2)题解析： 上文“Some have made “no-net-loss” rules to make sure the total number of wetlands won’t get smaller.(一些国家制定了“无净损失”规则，以确保湿地的总数不会减少)”说明制定了保护湿地总数的规则，空处和前文为顺接关系，说明规则的具体内容。所以E项“这意味着建设者必须修复他们破坏的任何湿地。”符合语境，解释了“无净损失”规则的具体要求。故选E。 (3)题解析： 下文“For example, over $10 billion (£8.2 billion) has been used on a 35-year plan to fix the Florida Everglades. This is a special group of subtropical wetlands, and it’s the biggest and most expensive ecological repair project in the world.(例如，在35年的佛罗里达大沼泽地修复计划中，已经投入了超过100亿美元（82亿英镑）。这是一组特殊的亚热带湿地，也是世界上最大、最昂贵的生态修复项目)”说明保护湿地花费巨大，空处位于段首，应概括本段内容。所以F项“世界各地正在以巨大的成本保护湿地。”符合语境。故选F。 (4)题解析： 上文“Beaver dams (坝) and the wetlands they make can cut flooding by up to 60%.(海狸筑坝和它们形成的湿地可以减少高达60%的洪水)”说明海狸筑坝和湿地能减少洪水，空处和前文为顺接关系，说明还有其他好处。所以B项“它们还帮助更多的野生动物生活在那里。”符合语境，下文“One study found that because of these cute “workers”, the number of local mammal (哺乳动物) types went up by 86%.(一项研究发现，由于这些可爱的“工人”，当地哺乳动物的种类增加了86%)”进一步说明了这种好处。故选B。 (5)题解析： 上文“It doesn’t really matter if the world has lost 20% or 50% of its wetlands.(世界失去了20%还是50%的湿地并不重要)”说明湿地损失的比例不是关键问题，空处和前文为转折关系，说明真正重要的是什么。所以G项“重要的是人们不再认为湿地毫无用处。”符合语境，下文“As the UN said recently, 1 billion people depend on wetlands to make a living. Saving and fixing these important homes is key to having a future where we can live well without harming the planet.(正如联合国最近所说，10亿人依靠湿地谋生。拯救和修复这些重要的家园是我们拥有一个在不伤害地球的情况下生活得很好的未来的关键)”进一步说明了保护湿地的重要性。故选G。 Passage 7 （25-26高二上·广东茂名高州市-11月·期中）Sometimes the best way to get through the tough times in life is to take a lighthearted approach. 1 Go to play.

Or have others used these terms to describe you? However, control isn’t purely negative. 1 Its role in our lives is far more complicated. Let’s unpack it. 2 Air traffic controllers ensure planes’ safe navigation. Teachers who manage classes effectively create a thriving environment. Self-control, too, is a cornerstone (基石) of personal growth, helping us pursue long term goals. These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. But when control changes into a strong desire to be in charge all the time and make others do exactly what you want, many problems will start to appear. Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. 3 If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial-they can help address the harm. Psychologists link the desire for control to underlying anxiety. When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. 4 Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. 5 It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. A. This can be a form of abuse. B. Control has clear positive applications. C. Uncertainty weakens our self-confidence. D. The sense of loss can also explain the reason. E. In such moments, the need to regain control becomes intense. F. Actually, control doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes. G. If left unchecked, it can damage relationships and generate stress. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. A 4. G 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨控制并非纯负面，分析其正负作用及产生控制欲的原因。 (1)题解析： 上文“However, control isn’t purely negative. (然而，控制并不完全是负面的)”及下文“ Its role in our lives is far more complicated. (它在我们生活中的作用要复杂得多)”说明控制的作用很复杂，空处承上启下，选项F中的“doesn’t fit neatly into “good” or “bad” boxes”与下文中的“far more complicated”相呼应。所以F选项“实际上，控制不能简单地归入“好”或“坏”的范畴。”，符合语境。故选F。 (2)题解析： 下文“These all show how control can be a force for order and progress. (这些都表明，控制可以成为秩序与进步的推动力)”说明控制是有积极作用的，空处引出下文，选项B中的“positive”与下文中的“a force for order and progress”相呼应。所以B选项“控制有明显的积极应用”，符合语境。故选B。 (3)题解析： 上文“Some individuals use threats, or even force to impose (强制实行) their will. (有些人会使用威胁，甚至暴力来强行推行自己的意志)”及下文“If you recognize such behavior in others or experience it yourself, seeking support from trusted adults is crucial - they can help address the harm. (如果你在他人的行为中识别出这种表现，或自己正经历这种情况，向可信赖的成年人寻求帮助至关重要——他们可以帮助应对由此造成的伤害)”说明控制欲失控，是一种虐待，经历的人应该向别人寻求帮助，空处承上启下，选项A中的“abuse”与下文中的“such behavior”相呼应。所以A选项“这可能是一种形式的虐待。”，符合语境。故选A。 (4)题解析： 上文“When we feel uncertain or that we don’t know what to do in life, the need to manage every little thing becomes a way to deal with our feelings. And gradually, it becomes a negative cycle which gains strength. (当我们感到不确定，或对生活感到迷茫时，掌控每一个细节的需求就成了应对情绪的一种方式。久而久之，这会形成一个不断强化的负面循环)”说明我们不能放任这种负面情绪不管，选项G中的“it”与上文中的“the need to manage every little thing”相呼应。所以G选项“如果不加以控制，它可能会破坏人际关系并引发压力”，符合语境。故选G。 (5)题解析： 上文“Life’s changes often spark control urges. Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one trigger (引发) feelings of powerlessness. Transitions like starting a new school or moving to a different city can also disrupt (扰乱) our sense of stability. (生活中的变化常常会激起控制的需求。身体或情绪上的变化、家庭冲突，或失去所爱之人，都会引发无力感。像开始上新学校或搬到不同城市这样的转变，也会扰乱我们的稳定感)”及下文“It’s a natural response to life’s unpredictability. (这是对生活不可预测性的一种自然反应)”说明生活中的变化常常会让控制的需求增多，空处承上启下，选项E中的“In such moments”与上文中的“Physical or emotional changes, family conflicts, or the loss of a loved one”及“Transitions”相呼应。所以E选项“在这样的时刻，重新掌控的需求会变得强烈”，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 9 （25-26高二上·广东揭阳联考·期中）It is important to be mindful of your body language during a job interview. However, body language can be a bit hard to control in a virtual setting. Here are some tips to help you perform well in a video interview. 1 This simple action shows that you’re fully focused in the interaction, helping to build a connection much like in-person conversations. If your eyes wander away to something else in your environment, your interviewer might assume that you are distracted. Staring at a tiny dot instead of someone’s face might feel strange, but what truly matters is how you come across to the person on the other side of the screen. Mind your facial expressions. 2 Use it during introductions or when responding to lighthearted moments. It conveys enthusiasm and makes you appear more friendly and welcoming. 3 For instance, show confidence and enthusiasm when talking about your accomplishments, and maintain a thoughtful look when answering tough questions. Pay attention to your posture (姿势). The key is to change between sitting upright and leaning in throughout the interview. 4 For example, when the interviewer shares key details about the role or company, a slight lean forward signals heightened interest and attentiveness. If you lean back in your chair, it can give off the impression that you’ re really thrown into the conversation. Use natural hand gestures. After establishing confident eye contact and maintaining an open posture, adding natural hand gestures can not only get your points across but also convey enthusiasm and boost confidence during virtual interviews. Interestingly, research suggests that hand movements can even aid memory and language recall, making you a better storyteller during interviews. Remember to strike a balance. 5 A. Look directly into the camera. B. Keep gestures visible on camera. C. Let your expressions naturally match your words. D. Your hand movements shouldn’t draw too much attention. E. A warm smile can go a long way in setting a positive tone. F. What your body is saying is as much as what you’ re actually saying. G. This variation shows you’ re responding to the flow of the conversation. 【答案】1. A 2. E 3. C 4. G 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章针对视频面试的场景，指出肢体语言虽难以控制但至关重要，随后从眼神交流、面部表情、坐姿、手势四个核心方面，提供了具体的肢体语言优化建议，帮助求职者在视频面试中展现良好状态，给面试官留下积极印象。 (1)题解析： 根据下文“This simple action shows that you’ re fully focused in the interaction, helping to build a connection much like in-person conversations. If your eyes wander away to something else in your environment, your interviewer might assume that you are distracted. (这个简单的动作表明你在交流中完全专注，有助于建立联结，其效果与面对面交谈十分相似。如果你的视线游离到周围的其他事物上，面试官可能会认为你注意力不集中。)”可知，本段核心围绕“眼神专注”展开，且“this simple action”指代前文提到的具体做法。A选项“Look directly into the camera. (直视镜头。)”是视频面试中实现“眼神专注”的关键动作，“直视镜头”对应下文“目光不游离”，且作为祈使句符合小标题格式，精准概括本段主题，“this simple action”即指代“直视镜头”，逻辑连贯。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 本段小标题为“Mind your facial expressions. (注意你的面部表情。)”，下文“Use it during introductions or when responding to lighthearted moments. It conveys enthusiasm and makes you appear more friendly and welcoming. (在自我介绍或回应轻松话题时使用它。它能传递热情，让你看起来更友好、更受欢迎。)”中的“it”指代前文提到的某一种具体面部表情。E选项“A warm smile can go a long way in setting a positive tone. (温暖的微笑能在营造积极氛围方面起到很大作用。)”中的“a warm smile”是典型的积极面部表情，与下文“conveys enthusiasm、friendly and welcoming”高度契合，“it”即指代“温暖的微笑”，符合语境。故选E项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文提到“温暖的微笑”的作用，以及下文“For instance, show confidence and enthusiasm when talking about your accomplishments, and maintain a thoughtful look when answering tough questions. (例如，在谈论自己的成就时要表现出自信和热情，在回答难题时要保持沉思的表情。)”可知，此处强调面部表情应与说话内容和场景匹配。C选项“Let your expressions naturally match your words. (让你的表情自然地与话语匹配。)”作为过渡句，承接上文“微笑”的单一表情建议，引出下文“不同场景对应不同表情”的具体例子，概括了“表情与内容一致”的核心原则，符合逻辑。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“The key is to change between sitting upright and leaning in throughout the interview. (关键是在整个面试过程中在挺直坐姿和身体前倾之间切换。)”可知，前文提出“坐姿切换”的建议，此空应解释这种切换的意义。G选项“This variation shows you're responding to the flow of the conversation. (这种变化表明你在回应对话的节奏。)”中的“This variation”指代前文“sitting upright and leaning in”的坐姿切换，且下文“when the interviewer shares key details... a slight lean forward signals heightened interest (当面试官分享关键细节时，身体微微前倾表明兴趣浓厚)”举例印证了“坐姿切换呼应对话节奏”的观点，逻辑连贯。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 本段小标题为“Use natural hand gestures. (使用自然的手势。)”，上文提到手势的积极作用（传递观点、展现热情、辅助记忆），且强调“Remember to strike a balance. (记住要保持平衡。)”，此空应具体说明手势“平衡”的标准——既自然有效，又不喧宾夺主。D选项“Your hand movements shouldn't draw too much attention. (你的手势不应过于引人注目。)”承接“保持平衡”的建议，明确了手势的使用边界，避免因手势夸张分散面试官注意力，符合“自然得体”的核心要求，与前文“natural hand gestures”形成呼应。故选D项。 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·广东佛山S6高质量发展联盟·期中）Take a Thought Walk Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head? 1 But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes. The best ideas can land when you least expect them — but there are things you can do to help them along, and here’s where walking comes in. Even a quick walk can reduce stress, clarify thinking or give your creativity a boost. Here’s why you should put your best foot forward. 2 Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress. “My mum loves walking, so it was her who first suggested I go out for a walk,” she remembers. “Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better.” The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental ability. Gillian Mills, a high school teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, explains, “When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. 3 Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds. Walking and taking big breaths of fresh air are like gently letting the pressure out.” 4 It lets you focus partly, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. Whether you’re revising for an exam, feeling stuck on a school project or working through a friendship problem, going for a walk could help. Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking. 5 This suggests that it increases what the experts call “divergent thinking” — the process where the mind generates a wide range of possible ideas or solutions to a problem. A. It helps clear your head for new thoughts. B. Many experts believe walking improves mental health. C. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. D. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. E. Proof for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. F. It might be sitting at your desk in school or working at a computer. G. Participants in a study increased their brainstorming by 60% during/after walks. 【答案】1. F 2. E 3. A 4. C 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了散步对激发创意、缓解压力和促进创造性思维的益处。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Have you ever considered when you get your best ideas? Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head?

(但也可能是在做一些不相关的事情，比如洗澡或洗碗。)”可知，本空需要列举一种常见的、与后文“不相关的事情”形成对比的、可能产生好想法的情境。F选项“It might be sitting at your desk in school or working at a computer. (可能是在学校坐在书桌前或是在电脑前工作。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“sitting at your desk”or“working at a computer”是上文问题的具体回答，与下文的“doing something unrelated(做一些不相关的事情)”通过“But”形成转折关系。故选F。 (2)题解析： 由下文“Michelle, a 21-year-old university student, discovered walking as a teen when she was going through a tough period of stress.(米歇尔，一名21岁的大学生，在青少年时期经历了一段压力很大的时期时发现了散步的好处。)” 及米歇尔所说的“Within about 10 minutes it made me feel so much better. (大约10分钟内，它就让我感觉好多了。)”可知，本段通过米歇尔的个人经历来证明散步的舒缓压力、让人平静的效果。E选项“Proof for walking’s calming power comes from lived experience. (散步具有镇静作用的证据来自生活经验。)”能概括本段主旨，作为段首主题句，符合题意，该选项中的“lived experience(生活经验)”直接引出了下文米歇尔的个人案例。故选E。 (3)题解析： 由上文“When students feel too stressed to think straight, we often suggest a walk outside. (当学生们压力过大、无法清晰思考时，我们经常建议他们到外面散步。)”以及下文“Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds. Walking and taking big breaths of fresh air are like gently letting the pressure out. (就把压力想象成一个正在充气的气球。空气不断涌入，压力持续累积。而散步和深呼吸新鲜空气就像轻轻地释放压力。)”可知，本空需要解释散步如何帮助缓解压力、理清思维。A选项“It helps clear your head for new thoughts. (它有助于清空你的头脑，为新的想法腾出空间。)”能承上启下，符合题意，其中“It”指代上文的“a walk outside”，且该选项中的“clear your head”解释了散步如何对抗压力、帮助思考，与下文的气球压力释放比喻相呼应。故选A。 (4)题解析： 由下文“It lets you focus partly, letting you notice your surroundings while your mind wanders in new directions. (它让你能够部分集中注意力，让你在注意到周围环境的同时，思绪也能在新的方向上漫游。)”可知，本空需要引出散步在注意力分配方面的独特作用。C选项“Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all.

(在一项研究中，参与者在散步期间或散步后的头脑风暴活动增加了60%。)”能承接上文，且空后的“This”指代的就是G项的研究发现。故选G。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·广东四校·期中）There are a few key tips that will help you effectively present your work and your ideas in the professional world. 1 Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in organizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to ad-lib (随口说出) or go off script (脚本) in a personal and confident manner. Practice with a friend. Along with the preparation for the presentation itself, it’s important to practice what you’re going to say ahead of time, preferably with another person who could give you feedback. Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with. 2 Breathe and relax. During the actual presentation, it is important to remember to breathe and relax. This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it. 3 I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right. Control your body language. 4 When giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. Project confidence by looking out at people in the eyes and directing your presentation to the audience instead of behind them. It can also be a helpful tip to have open and inviting body language which can create a connection with the people you’re presenting to. 5 A. Prepare properly. B. Organize your thoughts. C. For instance, a few hand gestures are of great help. D. The most important thing is to have fun and try to show you are listening. E. Researchers say that the majority of communication is nonverbal, and I tend to agree. F. Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts. G. Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk and comfortably support you, but also give constructive criticism. 【答案】1. A 2. G 3. F 4. E 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章分享了在专业领域有效地展示工作和想法的四个建议。 (1)题解析： 后文“Probably the most important aspect of a presentation is what you do in advance. Preparation is vital in organizing your thoughts and ideas into a whole that makes sense to your audience. Plus, knowing the material backwards and forwards means that you can be quicker and more accurate in answering questions and will allow you to ad-lib (随口说出) or go off script (脚本) in a personal and confident manner. (也许演讲中最重要的方面是你提前做了什么。准备工作对于组织你的想法和观点，使其对你的听众有意义是至关重要的。此外，从头到尾了解材料意味着你可以更快、更准确地回答问题，并允许你即兴发挥或以个人和自信的方式脱离脚本。)”强调演讲最重要的方面是提前准备，并详细说明做好准备的重要性，此处是段落标题，需建议做好准备，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此A项“Prepare properly. (妥善准备。)”符合语境，契合后文对“准备”的展开说明。故选A。 (2)题解析： 前文“Practicing in front of somebody else, instead of just a mirror, will allow you to get an objective perspective on your performance, while also giving you a bit of an audience to work with. (在别人面前练习，而不是对着镜子练习，这会让你对自己的表现有一个客观的看法，同时也会给你一些可以合作的观众。)”指出在他人面前练习的两个好处，此处是段末句，需补充选择练习伙伴的标准，因此G项“Find someone who is patient enough to sit through your talk and comfortably support you, but also give constructive criticism. (找一个有足够耐心的人听完你的演讲，从容地支持你，但也能给出建设性的批评。)”符合语境，具体说明练习伙伴应具备的特质，承接前文。故选G。 (3)题解析： 前文“This can be hard to remember when you’re in the midst of what you’re doing in front of an audience, but breathing will automatically slow you down and relax you during it. (当你在观众面前做事情的时候，这可能很难记住，但是呼吸会自动地让你慢下来，并在该过程中让你放松。)”提到深呼吸能让人放松，后文“I would advise a couple of deep breaths before starting a new slide point, just to keep your timing right. (我建议在开始一个新的幻灯片点之前做几次深呼吸，以保持你的时机正确。)”给出何时深呼吸的建议，此处需补充呼吸的额外作用，因此F项“Breaths can also effectively act as pauses in the presentation and give you a chance to gather your thoughts. (呼吸也可以有效地在演讲中起到暂停的作用，给你一个整理思绪的机会。)”符合语境，延伸呼吸的功能，和前文是递进关系，与后文换幻灯片前深呼吸衔接。故选F。 (4)题解析： 本段标题是“Control your body language. (控制你的肢体语言。)”，后文“When giving a presentation, just as important as what you’re saying is how you say it. (在做演讲时，和你说什么一样重要的是你怎么说。)”指出肢体语言的重要性，此处位于段首，需总领后文，因此E项“Researchers say that the majority of communication is nonverbal, and I tend to agree.

Combining technology with nature observation, it opens a window into the lives of your garden’s feathered visitors. One of Bird Buddy’s best features is its camera. It has a built-in camera that captures (捕捉) real-time photos and videos. Connected to Wi-Fi, it sends media of each visiting bird directly to your phone. Whether it’s a lively sparrow or a shy finch, you get a clear, close look with every visit. 2 With this view, bird watching becomes an effortless and thrilling experience. 3 It uses AI to identify over 1,000 bird species. It sends you a notification (通知) when a bird arrives. There’s even a “Name That Bird” feature that lets you name and follow individual birds over time. This function helps you build connection with your backyard guests. Each identified bird is saved into a digital collection. Thus, a visual diary of visits is built. It turns simple watching into a rewarding hobby. But Bird Buddy does more than bring joy. It builds eco-awareness. According to Audubon's Survival by degrees report, two-thirds of North American bird species face threats from climate change. By watching and identifying birds, users grow more aware of local wildlife and environmental shifts. 4 What’s more, Bird Buddy directly aids scientific research and conservation. 5 Researchers can use this information to track migrations, monitor population health, and study climate impacts. Bird Buddy shows how technology can bring us closer to nature—and help keep it safe for the future. A. Bird Buddy includes smart bird recognition. B. This can lead to stronger support for conservation. C. It collects data from millions of bird visits each day. D. It's like having a front-row seat to nature’s wonders. E.

These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty. 1 In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. 2 Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety, and some environments built for risky play offer clues for progress. Now, researchers think there’s much to uncover about its advantages, yet studying it faces practical barriers. “Most people assume I’d oppose risky play,” says Pamela Fuselli, head of Parachute, a Toronto-based injury-prevention nonprofit. 3 “The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth.” Her words reflect a growing understanding of risky play’s positive impact. The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas. 4 Years later, psychologist Ellen Sandseter noticed how these rules reshaped kids’ risk-taking chances. Importantly, risk isn’t danger. Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky). 5 This clarity helps adults support healthy risky play for kids. A. “I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds. B. But these opportunities are now under threat in many parts of the world. C. Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support. D. Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills. E. However, in many places, the reality of risky play has become quite different. F. The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies. G. Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth. 【答案】1. D 2. G 3. A 4. F 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冒险游戏对儿童健康发展的重要性，以及当前社会对冒险游戏的误解和限制，同时探讨了风险与危险的区别。 (1)题解析： 上文“These experiences let children build spatial awareness, cooperation, and the ability to tolerate uncertainty.(这些经历让孩子们建立空间意识、合作能力和容忍不确定性的能力)”说明了冒险游戏带来的好处，D选项“Such play is also a powerful way to boost children’s problem-solving skills.(这种游戏也是提高孩子解决问题能力的有力途径)”进一步补充说明冒险游戏的其他好处，与上文构成并列关系，上下文衔接紧密。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 上文“In many nations risky play is now more restricted than ever, due to misunderstandings about risk and general underestimation of its benefits. (在许多国家，由于对风险的误解和对风险益处的普遍低估，冒险游戏现在受到比以往任何时候都更多的限制)”以及后文“Research shows adults often misjudge what truly risks children’s safety (研究表明，成年人常常误判什么真正威胁到孩子的安全)”可知，成年人对风险的错误理解导致了冒险游戏受到限制。G选项“Adults’ wrong ideas about risk lead to over-controlled play spaces that limit growth. (成年人对风险的错误观念导致过度控制的游乐空间，限制了增长)”直接指出了成年人对风险的错误观念是导致冒险游戏受限的原因，符合语境。故选G项。 (3)题解析： 上文“Most people assume I’d oppose risky play(大多数人认为我会反对冒险游戏)”和下文“The benefits are vast, and we can’t downplay their worth. (好处是巨大的，我们不能低估它们的价值)”都是Pamela Fuselli说的话，但观点形成对比，A选项““I actually see the value in well-managed risky play,” she adds. (“我实际上看到了管理良好的冒险游戏的价值，”她补充道)”承上启下，说明Pamela Fuselli的真实想法与大多数人的假设不同，她看到了冒险玩耍的价值。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 上文“The roots of risky-play research trace to 1996, when Norway set playground safety rules — requiring handrails, rounded corners, and fall-injury — reducing equipment in play areas.(冒险游戏研究的根源可以追溯到1996年，当时挪威制定了游乐场安全规则——要求在游乐区设置扶手、圆角和减少坠落伤害的设备)”介绍了挪威制定游乐场安全规则的情况，F选项“The safety push in Norway, however, stimulated new interest in risky play studies.(然而，挪威推动的安全举措却激发了人们对冒险性游戏研究的新兴趣)”承接上文，说明挪威的这一举措反而激发了对危险玩耍研究的新兴趣，上下文逻辑清晰。故选F项。 (5)题解析： 上文“Danger is what a child can’t detect or handle — like a toddler going barefoot near broken glass (dangerous, not risky).(危险是孩子无法察觉或处理的事情——比如蹒跚学步的孩子在碎玻璃附近赤脚行走（危险，而不是有风险）)”解释了危险的定义，C选项“Risk, by contrast, is a manageable challenge kids can face with support.(相比之下，风险是孩子们在支持下可以面对的可管理的挑战)”则解释了风险的定义，与上文形成对比，上下文逻辑关系明确。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 1.
