专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高二上·内蒙古多校·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 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中-11月·期中）In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1 Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming. 3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry. The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field. Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices. A. Vertical farming has a rich history. B. One solution is indoor vertical farming. C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds. D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round. E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon. F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides. G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·黑龙江两省十校联合体·期中）As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time.

So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. 1 It’s the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practising. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. 2 You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims and ask them to explain key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether the facts they state are actually true. You can figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. 3 Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. 4 It’s necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. 5 Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs sometimes can be wrong.

Passage 3 （25-26高二上·吉林地区普通高中友好学校联合体·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 that’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 capacity. 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 holds partial focus, 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.

Rooftops, balconies, and even small community gardens are being transformed into productive spaces for growing food. This movement, known as urban farming, is not just about producing fresh vegetables. 1 One of the most immediate benefits of urban farming is access to fresh, nutritious food. 2 This means vegetables can be harvested at their peak ripeness, retaining more nutrients and flavor than store-bought alternatives that may have traveled long distances. 3 Tending to plants, even for a short time each day, has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. The physical activity involved in gardening also provides gentle exercise, which benefits both physical and mental health. Urban farms also play a surprising role in protecting city environments. Plants help to clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and other pollutants. 4 This can reduce the energy needed for cooling buildings in summer. Moreover, these green spaces bring people together.

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.

Passage 8 （25-26高二上·辽宁沈阳沈阳市郊联体·期中）Empathy (同理心/共情) is a skill that can be useful in various situations. Perhaps a friend has shared a secret that’s making them feel really upset, but you can’t quite see why they’ re so bothered by it. 1 : As you do, you might begin to feel upset or worried on their behalf. This feeling of identification is what is meant by empathy. To fine-tune your support skills, it helps to understand that there are different kinds of empathy. 2 . In general, emotional empathy means you understand how people feel, and cognitive empathy is more about understanding how they think. Striking a balance between the two is ideal.

Weigh the pros and cons Gather information about your options and list the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. 3 .

When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. 1 That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. 2 Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water. 3 If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. 4 Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. 5 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. Passage 2 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·黑龙江齐齐哈尔齐市地区普通高中·期中）How to Be Best Friends The relationship between best friends is one of the most important ones we experience in our lives. It’s why we want to do as much as possible to make sure our best friend enjoys spending time with us. 1 . But every once in a while we need to remind ourselves of the things that make some friends more special than others. Stay together. Best friends don’t have to do something crazy to have a good time. Sometimes, it’s enough to go over to one of your houses and just hang out. Invite your friend over even when you don’t have something special planned. 2 . Share happy moments. As you spend time together, there will be moments that cause the two of you to break into laughter. 3 . It’ll make the two of you smile and start laughing again as well as remind both of you of all the happy moments that you’ve shared with each other. 4 . We all have moments in life when we feel bad. If your friend is upset, talk to them and encourage them to express why they’re feeling low. Try to see things from their perspective(角度) and offer comfort. They’ll see how important they are to you and return the favor when you need it. Accept their weaknesses. No one is perfect. 5 .

Between school, friends and the never-ending call of social media, who doesn’t feel like there’s never enough time? Life tricks or skills can help. 1 If you’re a student, do you study for hours without taking a break? Bad idea. Instead, study for 25 minutes, and then take a five-minute break. It keeps your brain fresh and focused. 2 Instead, start your day by completing it. Then you can enjoy the feeling of accomplishment all day. 3 Resist the temptation (诱惑) by turning it to grayscale. Without bright colours, social media seems less fun. Also, discipline yourself to live without your phone for a brief stretch of time each day. Leave it in a drawer or another room.

It is best to leave items in your cart (购物车) for a few days. 4 Also, some stores will send you an email with a discount to get you to complete your purchase. Make a budget for your online shopping to give yourself a spending limit. Taking care of mental health is also important. Write down your to-do list before bedtime.

There are various practical steps you can take to help yourself focus better. Make a to-do list. Making a to-do list at the beginning of every day or week can make you feel more focused and positive to continue your work. You will feel more fulfilled when you check those tasks off your list and move on to the next one. 1 Organize your workspace. Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration. 2 Clean off your desk to include only the things you need to work on, leaving just a few photos or souvenirs to help you relax a bit. Give yourself a time limit for each task. 3 Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task. Be realistic about this judgement. Then, try to complete each task within the range of each time limit. Make time for breaks during the day. Though it may sound counter-intuitive (反直觉的) to add relaxation into your daily schedule, this step will actually help you stay focused. 4 This will help you get more energetic to finish the task, give you a break to rest your eyes, and will give you some time to prepare for the next task ahead. 5 Many people incorrectly think that multi-tasking is great because it allows you to deal with a variety of tasks at the same time. To the contrary, multi-tasking actually confuses your brain and slows you down, keeping you from being fully engaged in any one task. A. Prioritize your tasks. B. Multi-task less to make you focused. C. This will also keep you focused on one task at a time. D. Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list. E. You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work. F. It’s better to save the easier or more manageable tasks for the end of the day. G. Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. D 4. E 5. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，围绕“如何保持专注”展开，从制定待办清单、整理工作空间、设定任务时限、安排休息时间、避免多任务处理五个方面，给出具体实用的方法，帮助人们提升专注力以高效完成各类任务。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“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.(每天或每周一开始制定一份待办清单，能让你更专注、更积极地推进工作。当你划掉清单上的任务，接着着手下一项时，会收获更强的成就感)”可知，此空需补充制定待办清单对“保持专注”的另一重作用。C选项“This will also keep you focused on one task at a time.(这也能让你一次专注于一项任务)”中的“This”指代“制定待办清单”，“keep you focused”呼应段落主题，补充了清单帮助集中注意力的具体表现，衔接自然。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Having a clean space can help you focus and get your work done with much more concentration.(整洁的环境能帮助你集中注意力，让你更专注地完成工作)”以及下文“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.(清理你的桌面，只留下工作必需的物品，再放几张照片或纪念品，帮自己稍微放松一下)”可知，此空需给出“整理工作空间”的具体做法，即清除干扰物。G选项“Remove anything that can take your attention away and isn’t related to the task.(移除所有会分散你注意力且与任务无关的东西)”承接上文“整洁空间的重要性”，衔接下文“清理桌面”的具体操作，明确“整理”的核心是清除干扰，符合语境。故选G项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Give yourself a time limit for each task.(为每项任务设定时间限制)”以及下文“Next to each item on the list, write about how long it’ll take you to complete each task.(在清单上的每个项目旁，写下完成该任务所需的时间)”可知，此空需建立“待办清单”与“设定时限”的关联。D选项“Managing your time goes hand in hand with making a to-do list.(时间管理与制定待办清单密不可分)”直接点明两者的关联，“making a to-do list”呼应前文清单相关内容，“managing your time”引出下文“设定任务时长”的具体做法，符合逻辑。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“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.(虽然在日程表中加入放松环节听起来有些反直觉，但这一步实际上能帮你保持专注)”以及下文“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.(这能让你更有精力完成当前任务，还能让眼睛得到休息，同时为接下来的任务预留准备时间)”可知，此空需给出“休息”的具体方式或时长建议。E选项“You should take at least a 5-10 minute break for every hour of work.(每工作一小时，你应该至少休息5-10分钟)”明确了休息的频率和时长，承接上文“安排休息时间”的建议，衔接下文休息的好处，符合语境。故选E项。 (5)题解析： 分析语篇结构，此处需为段落小标题，概括本段核心内容。根据下文“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.(很多人错误地认为多任务处理很高效，因为它能让你同时处理多项任务。相反，多任务处理实际上会让你的大脑陷入混乱、拖慢你的节奏，阻碍你全身心投入到任何一项任务中)”可知，本段围绕“避免多任务处理以保持专注”展开。B选项“Multi-task less to make you focused.(减少多任务处理，让你更专注)”精准概括段落主题，直接点明“减少多任务”与“保持专注”的关联，符合小标题简洁明确的要求。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽西重点高中-11月·期中）In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1 Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming. 3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry. The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field. Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices. A. Vertical farming has a rich history. B. One solution is indoor vertical farming. C. The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds. D. Most vertical farms can grow all year round. E. That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon. F. Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides. G. This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市中利用空置建筑发展垂直农业的相关情况。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses.(为了利用这些空间，许多城市正将空置建筑改造为其他用途)”可知，前文提出“改造空置建筑”的需求，此空需承接该需求，给出具体的改造方向。B选项“One solution is indoor vertical farming.(其中一种解决方案是室内垂直农业)”符合语境。故选B项。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods.(这些种植层通常设置在不适合耕种的空间，但如今借助先进的农业技术，我们可以在这些地方种植作物)”，以及空后“However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.(然而，得益于技术、人工照明以及可控的温湿度，办公空间已被证明是理想的种植环境)”可知，空处需先说明垂直农业的实施难度。C选项“The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds.(这种做法并不像听起来那么简单)”符合语境。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

He was also a really great person. Einstein learned from making mistakes 1 , someone asked him what he needed. He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencils. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes. 2 Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too. Einstein considered time to be important He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 3 . He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time. Einstein liked to joke too In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 4 ! When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 5 , we should think of him. So, never be discouraged A. Give students a chance to correct their mistakes by themselves B. That’s why he never remembered his own phone number C.

G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了当人们情绪不佳时，可通过寻求支持、保持冷静、寻求帮助、解决问题和保持自信等方式来应对不良情绪。 (1)题解析： 上文“Everyone has feelings.(每个人都有情感)”说明每个人都有情感。空处和前文为解释说明关系，需列举感受的具体类型。所以E项“他们有时会感到压力、担心和害怕”符合语境，通过列举具体情感类型，衔接前文对 “感受” 的概括，并且引出下文如何解决这些负面情情感的方法。故选E。 (2)题解析： 上文“Get support(获取支持)”表明段落主题是寻求帮助。空处和后文为总分关系，下文“Talk to someone, such as a parent, other relatives and a teacher. And don’t forget your friends.(与某人交谈，如父母、其他亲戚和老师。别忘了你的朋友)”是对获取支持的具体举例。所以F项“当你需要帮助时，向关心你的人求助”符合语境。该选项中的“reach out to the people who care about you”与后文列举的交谈对象相呼应，点明“获取支持”的具体方式。故选F。 (3)题解析： 上文“Notice your feelings and think about why you feel that way.(注意你的感受，并思考你为什么会有这样的感觉)”说明要关注自己的感受并思考原因。空处和前后文为步骤顺承关系，下文“Do breathing exercises, listen to music or do whatever helps you be in a better mood.(做呼吸练习、听音乐或做任何能让你心情更好的事情)”是冷静下来的具体方法。所以C项“然后，找到一种方法来冷静下来并表达它们”符合语境。该选项中的 “Then”承接前文步骤，“find a way to calm down”对应后文的具体放松方式，逻辑上构成“注意感受→思考原因→冷静表达”的连贯流程。故选C。 (4)题解析： 下文“Remember that there are always people to help you. Be kind to yourself and ask for the helping hand that you need and get you through the tough situation you're facing.(记住，总有人会帮助你。善待自己，寻求你需要的帮助，帮助你度过你正在面临的困境)”可知，本段主要讲述的是不要把压力都自己扛，要寻求帮助。空处为段落小标题，为本段主要内容。所以A项“不要把压力都发泄在自己身上。”符合语境。故选A。 (5)题解析： 上文“It may not seem like it when you're in the middle of a stressful situation.(当你处于压力之中时，可能并不这么认为)”说明在压力之中时，可能并不觉得压力会消失。空处和前文为转折关系，需说明压力的本质会随行动改变。所以G项“但当你考虑问题并努力解决它时，压力确实会消失。”符合语境。该选项中的 But表转折，“stress does disappear”与前文“may not seem like it”形成对比，且“when you consider the problem and work on solving it”呼应前文“Try to solve the problem”的建议，逻辑上形成“认知压力→解决问题→压力消失”的闭环。故选G。 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·内蒙古乌兰察布·期中）Here’s a puzzle: What do traffic jams, long lines at the store and waiting for a holiday to start have in common?

So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. 1 It’s the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practising. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. 2 You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims and ask them to explain key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether the facts they state are actually true. You can figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. 3 Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. 4 It’s necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. 5 Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs sometimes can be wrong. By critically examining both your own and others’ opinions, you can understand the way the world works and make decisions in light of the truth A. Analysing information requires critical thinking. B. And he will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. C. Thus, the first step to critical thinking must always be listening. D. Because it’s possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts. E. So learning about the common arguments and your own beliefs can help. F. If there’s a conflict, discover whether you or the new statement is wrong. G. Critical thinking requires examining your own ideas and assumptions as well. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. F 4. B 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了如何练习批判性思维，理性判断生活中的各种信息。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Every day we are filled with information, much of which is given by people who want to shape our decisions. So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. (每天我们的生活都充满了信息，其中大部分是由想要影响我们决策的人提供的。因此，我们需要评估信息并确定我们应该如何应对。)”可知，上文告诉我们需要评估每天接收到的信息并确定我们应该如何应对，A选项“Analysing information requires critical thinking. (分析信息需要批判性思维。)”能够承接上文，介绍了评估和应对信息的方法，分析信息需要批判性思维。故选A。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand.

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 that’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 capacity. 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 holds partial focus, 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. Some people find their best ideas come when relaxing quietly. D. Critically, walking occupies just enough attention, but not all. E. Evidence 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. D 5. G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，主要探讨散步如何激发创造性思维、缓解压力并提升问题解决能力，通过科学依据和真实案例说明步行对个人心智发展的积极影响。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Or what you’re doing when the solution to a problem pops into your head?(那么，当你突然想到解决问题的办法时，你正在做些什么呢？)”和下文“But it could also be doing something unrelated, like taking a shower or washing the dishes.(但它也可能在做其他的事情，比如洗澡或者洗碗)”可知，此处需要回答前面的问题并与后文对应，F选项“它可能就坐在你学校的课桌上，或者正坐在电脑前工作呢”在此处串联上下文。故选F。 (2)题解析： 根据后文“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.”(米歇尔，一位 21 岁的大学生，在青少年时期因经历了一段压力较大的时期而开始喜欢上散步。她回忆道：“我妈妈喜欢散步，所以是她最先建议我出去走走的。大约 10 分钟后，我感觉好多了。”)”可知，此处应是本段总起句，强调走路的缓解焦虑作用，E选项“步行具有镇静作用的证据来自于个人的亲身经历”起到了统领本段内容的作用。故选E。 (3)题解析： 由上文“The benefit of walking goes beyond calming — it opens mental capacity. 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.(步行带来的益处远不止能让人放松——它还能提升思维能力。拥有 20 年教学经验的高中教师吉莉安·米尔斯解释道：“当学生们感到压力过大而无法清晰思考时，我们通常会建议他们出去走走。”)”和下文气球比喻“Just picture stress like a balloon blowing up. It fills with air and pressure builds.(想象一下压力就像一个气球在不断膨胀。它不断充气，压力也随之增大)”可知，此处强调散步帮助释放压力，理清思路的作用，A选项“它有助于让你的头脑清醒，从而产生新的想法”符合语境。故选A。 (4)题解析： 由后文“It holds partial focus, 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.(它能让你部分集中注意力，使你能够留意周围环境，同时让思绪在新的方向上自由驰骋。无论是为考试复习、在学业上遇到瓶颈还是解决友谊问题，出去散步或许会有所帮助)”可知，此段突出的是散步分散部分注意力，有帮于产生新想法的作用，D选项“重要的是，步行所占用的注意力恰到好处，但又并非过多”符合语境。故选D。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Stanford University confirms this effect. They found a clear link between walking and creative thinking.(斯坦福大学证实了这一现象。他们发现步行与创造性思维之间存在着明确的关联)”和下文“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.(这表明，它能够增强专家们所说的“发散性思维”——即大脑在处理问题时能够产生大量可能的想法或解决方案的过程)”可知，此处需具体说明散步对创造性思维的作用，选项G“在一项研究中，参与者在散步期间/之后的头脑风暴次数增加了60%”中的“brainstorming”与下文的“divergent thinking”(发散思维)同义，直接对应研究发现。故选G。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·辽宁辽南协作体·期中）Without enough time to go to gyms and sports centers, non-stop snacking and increasing stress.

Rooftops, balconies, and even small community gardens are being transformed into productive spaces for growing food. This movement, known as urban farming, is not just about producing fresh vegetables. 1 One of the most immediate benefits of urban farming is access to fresh, nutritious food. 2 This means vegetables can be harvested at their peak ripeness, retaining more nutrients and flavor than store-bought alternatives that may have traveled long distances. 3 Tending to plants, even for a short time each day, has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. The physical activity involved in gardening also provides gentle exercise, which benefits both physical and mental health. Urban farms also play a surprising role in protecting city environments. Plants help to clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and other pollutants. 4 This can reduce the energy needed for cooling buildings in summer. Moreover, these green spaces bring people together. Community gardens, in particular, create opportunities for neighbors to connect, share knowledge, and build stronger relationships. 5 For many children in cities, a community garden might be their first chance to see how food grows, fostering a deeper understanding of nature from a young age. A. For example, city residents can grow lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs right outside their kitchens. B. By covering sun-baked surfaces with vegetation, they act as natural shade. C. Beyond putting food on the table, it offers a range of unexpected rewards that enrich city life. D. Urban farming can turn empty and lifeless spaces into vibrant and beautiful places. E. In addition to physical health, urban farming is a powerful tool for mental well-being. F. You may even discover a hidden passion for gardening you never knew you had. G. This social aspect strengthens community bonds and can even pass valuable skills to the next generation. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. E 4. B 5.

Perhaps a friend has shared a secret that’s making them feel really upset, but you can’t quite see why they’ re so bothered by it. 1 : As you do, you might begin to feel upset or worried on their behalf. This feeling of identification is what is meant by empathy. To fine-tune your support skills, it helps to understand that there are different kinds of empathy. 2 . In general, emotional empathy means you understand how people feel, and cognitive empathy is more about understanding how they think. Striking a balance between the two is ideal. In some instances, it’s appropriate to tap into another s emotions — so you can share the excitement when friends or family get good news. 3 . But simply identifying with the feelings experienced — rather than trying to figure out why— might mean losing a sense of perspective that could prove useful. Being able to sense and share others’ feelings, as well as see things from their side, is a brilliant way to build trusting friendships and relate to your family. 4 There is a long- held belief that autistic (患自闭症的) people lack empathy. It’s true that some may find certain aspects of cognitive empathy more challenging, especially if they struggle with understanding social rules. So, if you do feel that someone isn’t behaving very empathically toward you, remind yourself that some people find it harder to show than others. 5 . With a bit of practice, most people can learn to open up. A. You will feel emotionally connected. B. It doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t care. C. So practice listening fully to what your pal says. D. The two main types are emotional and cognitive. E. However, showing empathy doesn’t come naturally to everyone. F. Also, you can really be there for them when things aren’t going well. G. Before telling them to calm down, try to see things from their point of view. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. F 4. E 5. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。共情是实用技能，主要分为情感共情和认知共情，二者平衡为佳，能助力建立信任关系。共情并非人人天生擅长，有些人难以表现不代表不在乎，多数人可通过练习提升。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Empathy (同理心/共情) is a skill that can be useful in various situations. Perhaps a friend has shared a secret that’s making them feel really upset, but you can’t quite see why they’ re so bothered by it.(共情是一种在各种情境中都可能派上用场的技能。也许你的朋友透露了一个令他们感到非常不安的秘密，但你却无法完全理解他们为何会对这件事如此烦恼)”以及后文“As you do, you might begin to feel upset or worried on their behalf. This feeling of identification is what is meant by empathy.(当你这样做时，你可能会开始为他们感到不安或担忧。这种认同感就是所谓的同理心)”可知，前文语境：朋友分享烦心事但你不理解其困扰，后文衔接“这样做后你可能会为他们感到难过”。G（在让他们冷静前，试着从他们的角度看问题）既给出具体行动，又能自然引出后文的共情感受，符合逻辑衔接，故选G。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“To fine-tune your support skills, it helps to understand that there are different kinds of empathy.(要提升你的支持能力，了解不同类型的同理心会很有帮助)”以及后文“In general, emotional empathy means you understand how people feel, and cognitive empathy is more about understanding how they think.(总的来说，情感共情指的是你能够理解他人的情感，而认知共情则更多地在于理解他们是如何思考的)”可知，前文提到“共情有不同类型”，后文紧接着解释“情感共情”和“认知共情”的定义。D（两种主要类型是情感共情和认知共情）直接总起，衔接后文的分类解释，起到承上启下作用，故选D。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Striking a balance between the two is ideal. In some instances, it’s appropriate to tap into another s emotions — so you can share the excitement when friends or family get good news.(在两者之间找到平衡是最理想的。在某些情况下，适当地体会一下对方的情绪也是合适的——比如当朋友或家人获得好消息时，你就可以一同分享那份喜悦)”以及后文“But simply identifying with the feelings experienced — rather than trying to figure out why — might mean losing a sense of perspective that could prove useful. Being able to sense and share others’ feelings, as well as see things from their side, is a brilliant way to build trusting friendships and relate to your family.(但仅仅去认同所体验到的情感——而非试图去探究其原因——或许意味着会失去一种有助于我们思考的视角。能够感知并分享他人的情感，以及从他们的角度去看待问题，是建立信任型友谊以及与家人建立良好关系的绝佳方式)”可知，前文举例说明情感共情的适用场景（朋友获好消息时分享喜悦），此处需延续“情感共情的积极作用”。举例说明情感共情的适用场景（朋友获好消息时分享喜悦），此处需延续“情感共情的积极作用”。F（而且，在他们遇到不顺的时候，你也能真正陪在他们身边）符合语境故选F。 (4)题解析： 根据后文“There is a long- held belief that autistic (患自闭症的) people lack empathy. It’s true that some may find certain aspects of cognitive empathy more challenging, especially if they struggle with understanding social rules. So, if you do feel that someone isn’t behaving very empathically toward you, remind yourself that some people find it harder to show than others.(一直以来都有这样一种观点，即自闭症患者缺乏同理心。的确，有些人可能会觉得在某些认知层面的同理心方面存在困难，尤其是如果他们难以理解社交规则的话。所以，如果你觉得某人对你没有表现出足够的同理心，提醒自己并非所有人都能像其他人那样轻易地表达出来)”可知，强调共情对建立信任关系的重要性，后文转而讨论“自闭症患者可能难以表现共情”的普遍认知。E（然而，并非人人都天生擅长表现共情）通过转折引出下文对“共情能力差异”的探讨，逻辑连贯，故选E。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“There is a long- held belief that autistic (患自闭症的) people lack empathy.

When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. 1 That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. 2 Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water. 3 If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. 4 Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. 5 Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. D 4. E 5. G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，文章就植物浇水时间提出了一些建议。 (1)题解析： 上文“If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week.(如果你的植物在地下，一般规则是植物每周需要1英寸的水)”提到“每周1英寸水”的一般规则，但后文“That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.(这通常不够。考虑到雨水的影响，每周三次左右的深度浇水能使植物生长得最好)”指出“这通常不够”，暗示规则并非完全正确。选项F“然而，这并不意味着每周只浇一次水”完美衔接，解释规则不指代浇水频率。故选F。 (2)题解析： 上文谈论“植物浇水频率”的话题，后文“Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough.(感受你的土壤！当土壤粘在你手里，你可以把它捏成一个球时，它就够湿了)”建议通过感受土壤来判断是否需要浇水。选项B“但不要不加思考地浇水”作为过渡，提醒不要盲目浇水，引出下文的土壤检查方法。故选B。 (3)题解析： 上文“But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water.(但是，如果它在你的手中很少粘在一起，或者表面看起来很硬，或者有裂缝，那么它可能是干燥的，是时候浇水了)”描述土壤表面状态（如不成球、硬或开裂）后，指出“该浇水了”，后文“If so, that suggests it needs water.(如果是这样，那就说明它需要水)”有“如果这样”的总结。选项D“看看地面以下一英寸的土壤是否干燥”提供更深层检查，与下文“如果这样”（指表面下干燥）逻辑衔接，强调需进一步验证。故选D。 (4)题解析： 上文“It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too.(最好在一天的早些时候浇水，因为露水还在叶子上，所以叶子在晚上就干了。然而，如果你不能在早上浇水，晚上浇水也是可以的)”讨论早晨或傍晚浇水的最佳时间，但未提具体避免时段。选项E“只是要避免在中午浇水，以免水分流失”补充具体建议，避免中午蒸发导致水分损失，与浇水时间建议一致。故选E。 (5)题解析： 上文“The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches.(原因是你想同时加入足够的水，以确保渗透到5或6英寸)”解释降雨后及时浇水以确保水渗透深层（5-6英寸），后文“Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil.(小雨阵雨不能在土壤中建立水分储备)”指出小雨不积水。选项G“如果你再等一天再浇水，你只会加表面的水”解释为何不能等待（否则水只留表面），与渗透主题呼应。故选G。 Passage 2 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·黑龙江齐齐哈尔齐市地区普通高中·期中）How to Be Best Friends The relationship between best friends is one of the most important ones we experience in our lives.

Between school, friends and the never-ending call of social media, who doesn’t feel like there’s never enough time? Life tricks or skills can help. 1 If you’re a student, do you study for hours without taking a break? Bad idea. Instead, study for 25 minutes, and then take a five-minute break. It keeps your brain fresh and focused. 2 Instead, start your day by completing it. Then you can enjoy the feeling of accomplishment all day. 3 Resist the temptation (诱惑) by turning it to grayscale. Without bright colours, social media seems less fun. Also, discipline yourself to live without your phone for a brief stretch of time each day. Leave it in a drawer or another room. If you shop online, avoid buying anything unthinkingly. It is best to leave items in your cart (购物车) for a few days. 4 Also, some stores will send you an email with a discount to get you to complete your purchase. Make a budget for your online shopping to give yourself a spending limit. Taking care of mental health is also important. Write down your to-do list before bedtime. Then you can sleep like a baby without worrying about remembering what you have to do tomorrow. Also, write down three things you’re grateful for. 5 Finally, laugh more.

Without bright colours, social media seems less fun. Also, discipline yourself to live without your phone for a brief stretch of time each day. Leave it in a drawer or another room.(抵制诱惑，把它变成灰度。没有鲜艳的色彩，社交媒体似乎就没那么有趣了。同时，每天训练自己在没有手机的情况下生活一小段时间。把它放在抽屉里或别的房间里。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要怎么少用社交媒体，E选项“Do you struggle with spending less time on your phone?(你是不是很难做到少花些时间玩手机？)”提出是否很难少玩手机这个问题，引出后文怎么才能少玩，后文中的“it”指代E选项中的phone，并出现了关键词“social media”，“phone”，因此符合语境。故选E。 (4)题解析： 根据空前的“If you shop online, avoid buying anything unthinkingly. It is best to leave items in your cart (购物车) for a few days.(如果你在网上购物，不要不假思索地买东西。最好在购物车里放几天。)”可知，此处与前文构成因果关系，B选项“So you can determine if you really want them.(因此，你可以确定一下自己是否真的想要这些东西。)”说明了为什么要把东西放在购物车里几天，承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 (5)题解析： 根据空前的“Also, write down three things you’re grateful for.(此外，记下三件自己觉得感恩的事情。)”可知，此处应是对前文内容的阐释，说明这样做的益处，F选项“That helps switch your focus from what’s wrong in your life to what’s right.(这有助于将你的注意力从生活中的错误转移到正确的事情上。)”中的“That”指代前文提到的“记下三件自己觉得感恩”的事情，说明了写下感恩的事情的好处，符合语境。故选F。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
