专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高三上·辽宁大连育明高中学·期中）How To Make The Most Of Your Weekends We cherish our weekends. 1 How many times have you found yourself eagerly anticipating the weekend, only to be left disappointed because it went by too fast? If you want to enjoy weekends that leave you feeling refreshed and energized, then here is what you can do. Change your mindset Can you change how satisfied you are with your weekends just by changing your mindset? 2 In a study, they found that those who had treated their weekend as a vacation were significantly happier than those who had treated it as a regular weekend. That is, your mindset is more important than the amount of money you spend or the activities themselves. Change your approach After you’ve changed your mindset, here are a few practical ways that you can make the most of your weekend. 1. Start with a plan According to researchers, you should plan your weekend just as you plan your weekdays. 3 If not, you will end up doing nothing and then wonder where the time went once the weekend is over. 2. Avoid routine We live our lives mainly by routine Monday through Friday. If we’re not careful though, the familiarity of our patterns can easily lead us to become stuck in a rut of only doing the same things over and over again. The weekend is a good time to force ourselves to step out of our comfort zone. 4 3. 5 Filling your time with different activities can be fun, but to the extreme, it can also cause harm both mentally and physically. Therefore, make sure to set aside some time just for yourself so you can recharge your batteries, such as reading a favorite book. Avoid filling up your empty time with things that are not relaxing. A. Researchers say yes. B. Develop suitable hobbies. C. Allow for some downtime. D. But unexpected things will happen and ruin our holidays. E. More often than not, however, they don’t live up to our expectations. F. You should start the weekend knowing what you want to get out of it. G. You can do this by trying new experiences, joining a new club, or revisiting a hobby. Passage 2 （24-25高三上·辽宁名校联盟-11月·期中）If you're looking forward to improving your diet and achieving your health goals, keep reading to find out what you need to know. 1 They are what health experts want you to know instead. “Calories in, calories out” is the most crucial factor for long-term weight gain. It's stated that consuming more calories than burning leads to likely weight gain and vice versa in the short term. However, research does not indicate that excessive eating will lead to steady weight gain and being overweight. 2 Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier than canned, frozen or dried ones. Although the long-held belief is that “fresh is the best”, research has shown that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can possess the same level of nutrition as their fresh equivalents. But in fact, some of these varieties contain hidden ingredients such as added sugars and saturated（饱和的）fats. 3 Choose products that minimize the presence of these ingredients. All fat is bad. It is commonly believed that all fat is bad. 4 Although some types of fats can raise the risk of certain conditions, healthy fats like those in olive oil play a role in reducing the risk, and are crucial for providing energy, cell function, and nutrient absorption. 5 Cow's milk generally contains about eight grams of protein per cup, while oat milk two or three grams per cup. Although the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many of them have more added ingredients, like added sugars, which can be harmful to health. A. This is not the case. B. Cow's milk is much healthier. C. Here are four nutrition myths. D. Healthy fats help reduce the risk. E. Plant milk is more nutritious than dairy milk. F. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully read nutrition labels. G. Rather, it is the types of foods that may cause these conditions. Passage 3 （25-26高三上·吉林九校联合·期中）Giving Old Buildings a New Life Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly. Sadly, many are forgotten, falling apart, and their stories fading away. 1 Fortunately, Chinese cities are finding creative ways to revive them. Instead of turning them into untouched museum pieces, these buildings are being transformed into lively spaces like cafes, bookstores, or galleries. 2 Some worry that changing a building’s use might harm it. 3 Take “Xianlang” cafe in Beijing as an example. It occupies a century-old site, the former Sino-French University. The cafe preserves the original exterior, including wooden carvings and windows. Inside, it uses colors inspired by French artist Henri Matisse, creating a space where visitors enjoy coffee while experiencing the cultural link between China and France. It’s more than a cafe; it’s a storyteller. 4 Bagong’s House in Wuhan, a red-brick building from the early 1900s once used by Russian tea merchants, is now a high-end hotel preserving its facade. Inside, digital exhibitions showcase the ancient tea road history it witnessed. It also hosts talks and art shows, actively sharing its past with the public. Bringing old buildings back to life takes creativity and a strong sense of responsibility. 5 Every time an old building is brought back to life, a piece of cultural memory is saved, and part of the city’s story continues. A. Such neglect reflects a common challenge in urban development worldwide. B. Therefore, protecting them requires government funding and public support. C. This creative reuse gives old structures new purposes while keeping their souls. D. We need to find a balance between respecting the past and adding new ideas. E. However, sensitive restoration that respects history allows for functional change. F. These cultural treasures might disappear forever without timely and dedicated preservation. G. Digital tech and cultural events also breathe new life into old structures. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·辽宁辽西重点高中-11月·期中）A majority of people desire to become the extroverts (外向的人). 1 For example, quiet people are good observers. In such a fast-paced world, quiet people, with less time spent chatting, have more energy to observe situations and people. Ask a quiet person their thoughts on a situation or person, and you may be surprised to receive an extremely reflective answer. 2 Quiet people think before they speak. In a work discussion with colleagues, the quiet men and women hardly speak suddenly, and instead, they listen carefully. With less time spent talking, quiet people have time to really think before they speak. 3 Because they are so selective with words, when they speak, it seems like the whole world stops to listen to what they have to say. 4 With their quiet, relaxed temperament (性情), quiet people are often the ears that others run to for advice, and are also respected for their good listening skills and cautious words. Additionally, quiet people rarely annoy others in their presence and they often make others feel at ease. Quiet people work on a more productive basis. Quiet people tend to be free from the distractions that often come from being around people all day long. 5 It is common to observe a quiet co-worker, alone in his or her office for hours at a time working on the quiet focus. A. Less talking means more reflecting and observing, so they won’t miss much. B. Quiet people seem accessible. C. Actually quiet people have their own strengths, though. D. Consequently, they are capable of accomplishing a lot on their quiet focus. E. It is rare to see a quiet friend speak rudely. F. In this way, they will take the time to ensure what they are saying is true. G. Quiet people are more intelligent. Passage 5 （25-26高三上·辽宁名校·期中）People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. 1 ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: 2 Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● 3 Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. 4 In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they'd approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don't do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. 5 Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. Passage 1 （25-26高三上·辽宁七校协作体-11月·期中）Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. 1 Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. 2 Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory. 3 Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed. Rehearse your speech for a friend. 4 It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly. Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language. 5 Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to cover during the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered. A. Type up the speech. B. Make a list of things that scare you about the speech. C. If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times. D. However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice. E. It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation. F. You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information. G. Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·黑龙江新时代高中教育联合体·期中）Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach? Hours with your friends at the park? 1 They spend far more time alone, which often leads to loneliness. According to a study on children’s behaviour change and emotional well-being, loneliness among children is on the rise. But there are ways parents can help. Discover the cause When children feel that no one really “gets” them, this can be described as emotional loneliness. 2 Whether they’re struggling to make friends, feeling excluded, or going through a big change, validating their emotions and understanding the root cause can help support them in the right way. Build their confidence Loneliness, especially when feeling left out, can trigger self-doubt and cause children to question their self-worth. 3 Recognizing what they do well helps rebuild their confidence and reinforces a positive self-image. As their confidence grows, they feel more included and become more willing to engage with others. 4 Obviously, helping children find opportunities to connect with peers is a good way to help them feel less lonely. Connecting with others through joining a club, starting a new hobby or simply spending more quality time together as a family can often help with loneliness. Build a supportive environment Loneliness lowers self-esteem and increases anxiety or sadness. It isn’t something that disappears overnight and can’t just be resolved with one conversation. Regular check-ins，showing interest, and reminding them they’re not alone can make a lasting difference. 5 A. Communicate openly B. Encourage socializing C. Children should learn how to handle failure. D. There are many reasons why a child may be lonely. E. However, today’s children won’t have the same memories. F. After all, gentle parenting builds confident and connected individuals G. It’s vital to remind them of their strengths and celebrate their achievements. Passage 3 （25-26高三上·黑龙江新时代高中教育联合体·期中）Find Your Soul Family A soul family, unlike a biological family bound by blood, is comprised of people with whom you share profound mental connections and “spiritual DNA”. 1 Here are practical tips to find your soul family. ● Practice what brings you joy to find similar souls. 2 Whether it’s cooking delicious meals, creating art, or enjoying your favorite music, these joyful pursuits send out positive vibrations that naturally attract kindred spirits to gravitate toward you. ● 3 Don’t miss opportunities to bond with new people. Be genuinely curious about their passions, listen attentively to their life stories, and avoid dismissing them too quickly. Active inquiries help uncover potential soul connections. ● Be patient and persistent. Your soul family will find you in time, so stay patient and keep hope alive. 4 Volunteering is a great way to enrich your spiritual life. Whether at food banks or animal shelters, helping others deepens your connections and attracts like-minded souls. ● Let go of the relationships that don’t serve you. Toxic relationships only create noise in your spiritual journey. Evaluate if relationships help you grow or hold you back. If someone brings out your worst, consider ending the relationship. 5 Trust the process, and your soul family will appear when the time is right. A. Besides waiting, you can also take active steps. B. Make space for those who truly connect with your soul. C. Ask new acquaintances lots of questions about themselves. D. These are people who are connected through genetic relationships. E. Your soul family often appears when you’re engaged in activities you love F. Any relationship that requires effort to maintain is not your true soul family. G. These are individuals who understand you deeply and bond with your true self. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·黑龙江龙东十校联盟·期中）Rest has been treated as a reward, something earned through exhaustion or squeezed in when we can find time. But from a biological point of view, rest isn’t optional. It’s a survival mechanism, hardwired into the way our bodies and brains stay balanced, focused, and well. We are designed to shift fluently through a rhythm of activation, rest, and renewal — this is how we stay resilient (有适应力的). 1 Constant stimulation, pressure to perform, and digital overload keep us locked in overdrive. We override tiredness. We treat anxiety as normal. We forget that rest is built in. Over time, this imbalance quietly affects us. Sleep quality slips, memory suffers, and immunity declines. We’re not machines made for output. We’re human beings made for rhythm. Nature rests. 2 Why would we be the only system that believes we must run non-stop? Biologically, rest is our evolutionary fallback mode. When activity becomes unsustainable, the body downshifts to protect itself. But pausing (暂停) isn’t weakness. 3 When we pause, breathing slows, and the brain regains access to memory, reasoning, and emotional control. And it doesn’t take long: within a minute, change begins. 4 Research from Stanford shows that even brief pauses, a few deep breaths, a moment between tasks, can improve heart rate variability, and sharpen focus. And in that pause, something else happens. Neuroscientists now understand that periods of stillness are not empty. 5 What we call doing nothing is often the moment we make sense of everything. Insight doesn’t always arrive while solving, it often comes when the mind has space to wander. Even with this knowledge, the real challenge in slowing down isn’t physical. It’s psychological. There’s always an underlying pressure to feel like we need more. So we push, and we exhaust ourselves. A. This isn’t just hearsay. B. It’s how the body begins to recover. C. But modern life has broken that flow. D. Even the heart rests between every beat. E. This is a common practice in the animal kingdom. F. It allows the brain to enter a mode of deep relaxation. G. They’re when the brain integrates, processes, and connects. Passage 5 （25-26高三上·内蒙古赤峰市校·期中）How to Develop Effective Reading Habits? Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings. Set clear reading goals. Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. 1 Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language. Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 2 It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule. Choose the right reading environment. 3 Some people prefer quiet places like libraries or their home study, while others enjoy reading in cafes with soft background music. Make sure your reading space is comfortable — have a good chair, proper lighting, and keep distractions like phones or TVs to a minimum. Take notes while reading to enhance comprehension. This helps you engage actively with the text and retain information better. Write down key ideas, unfamiliar words, or questions that come to mind. You can use a notebook, sticky notes, or digital tools like e- readers with note- taking features. 4 5 Keeping track of your reading journey can motivate you to keep going. Whether you finish a book, reach a reading goal, or discover a new favorite author, take time to acknowledge your achievement. Reward yourself with a trip to a bookstore, a new bookmarks, or simply the satisfaction of knowing you’re building a valuable habit. A. Celebrate your progress. B. Keep your reading journey going. C. Do you get the right books that you want to read? D. Everyone has different preferences for where they read best. E. Reviewing your notes later will help you remember what you’ve read. F. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax? G. Reading in a short, regular session is more effective than a long, occasional one Passage 6 （25-26高三上·辽宁大连滨城高中联盟·期中）When a friend, partner, family member or co-worker is upset, you’ve probably wondered how best to make them feel better. Let them vent? Offer a chocolate bar? Give them space so they can have a good cry? 1 But one of the most powerful ways to relieve a person’s feelings is to start a conversation. Confirm their emotions. One consistent finding from the research is that telling people they shouldn’t feel so bad typically makes them feel worse. This kind of strategy sends the message that they’re overreacting, which, absurdly, only makes them more emotional. 2 Comments like, “I can imagine that was difficult” are more comforting than other kinds of feedback that try to help a person change their thinking about the problem. Help them strategize if they’re open to it. While phrases of support can make people feel better, not everyone is open to such an approach, because it can feel ineffective. 3 If they focus on their emotions by saying something like “I feel like they don’t care about me” they are probably only looking for support. If, on the other hand, they say that they wish they felt differently, or that they want to know how to solve a problem, then they are inviting you to help them. If they welcome problem solving, frame it carefully. If you think the other person is open to letting you help them strategize, tell them that you understand why they feel the way they do, or that you would have reacted similarly. Then, ease into a problem-solving strategy. 4 This involves helping people understand that while things may be bad now, they’ll likely improve over time. Remember that it’s the thought that counts. People appreciate support even if it isn’t exactly aligned with their needs. In other words, what matters most is not that you say the right thing, but that you are present and try to help. We can make a difference to other people with relatively little effort. 5 A. Support is the correct way. B. So first, listen to how they discuss their situation. C. Sometimes just being there is all that you need to do. D. The ideal approach depends on specific circumstances. E. Temporal distancing means a period of time in between. F. An approach known as “temporal distancing” works best. G. You need to push them to forget the upsetting problem first. Passage 7 （25-26高三上·黑龙江哈尔滨师范大学附属中学·期中）I got afraid when I was going to join Thompson Rivers University (TRU) here in Canada. The fact was that I was far away from my country with a totally new culture and new people and I became nervous because I had no experience of getting adjusted with a whole new place, language and culture. 1 Speaking English fluently and maintaining my confidence when chatting with each person here posed another for me. Before I landed in Canada, I had known I would face a lot of problems. 2 It happened especially when it came to figuring out how to fix it or make the necessary adjustments here. I wasn’t able to communicate with people so easily because the accent here in Canada wasn’t familiar to me. 3 That directly contributed to my hesitation in talking with people around me. Besides, the fear of making mistakes was killing my desire to give it another try. To break through these difficulties, I realized that I had to actively engage with the local environment and the diverse community around me. When I first came to TRU, I met with national and international students, talked to them about our culture, like how our interactions happened, the way we communicated, and the traditions we were keeping. I started to observe people, including how they talked, their expressions, intonation, stress, vocabulary, and the way they used phrases in conversations. I also started to talk with my friends in English. 4 I persisted increasingly to gradually adapt to and feel at ease with the new language, culture, tradition and all the aspects that required my adjustments. 5 Nothing is impossible to achieve. All you need to do to achieve a goal is hard work, practice and not feeling shy when you’re making a mistake. I am learning a lot by making lots of mistakes. Now mistakes don’t bother me anyway. A. This was a big challenge for me. B. However, I was still at a loss sometimes. C. From all this I have learned a vital lesson. D. But things still went beyond my expectation. E. Canadians use different intonation and stress. F. I realized that I should get accustomed to it with all my might. G. Those long conversations were growing up my confidence level. Passage 8 （24-25高三上·吉林省“BEST”合作体六校·第三次联考）If you are trying to assess a person’s character, make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading. Instead, observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit. 1 You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people. 2 It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him in a single environment, such as the workplace. It is often possible, however, to get some idea of his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him. Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is. 3 To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter. 4 The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an indication of character. A person’s character is affected by his attitude. 5 Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others. When you are trying to assess someone’s character, remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity. A. More importantly, it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle. B. The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has. C. There are many other things in life that may require commitment. D. This includes both people he knows and people he does not know. E. Also, pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life. F. Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies. G. Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations. Passage 9 （24-25高三上·辽宁联合体·期中）Humans have a need to share their beliefs and values with other people. 1 This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation (模仿), which can in turn create unity and enhance relationships. Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views. 2 The choice will depend on the other person’s situation. If he/ she already agrees with you, then your negativity can raise the intensity of his/ her views. 3 Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased. And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours. 4 When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker. Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers. 5 So, if you want to be more persuasive, consider the specific situations and share them more positively — in other words, turn your beliefs and values into a gift, rather than a weapon. A. One size, however, won’t fit for all. B. This is the so- called backfire effect. C. All you would want is to get the person out of the way. D. When you feel strongly about something, it’s hard not to talk about it. E. This is essentially the result of using your flowers negatively as weapons. F. To achieve the goal, you can outline your views either positively or negatively. G. Positive emotions may be better at leading to imitation than negative emotions. Passage 10 （24-25高三上·辽宁点石联考·期中）How to Learn a New Language From Subtitles (字幕) of Movies In order to learn a new language, people mostly take a special class. 1 Yes, “SUBTITLES”. In this article, I am going to tell you how to learn English from subtitles. First watch a video or a movie without subtitles. When you watch any video in your target language, initially, turn off the subtitles if you can. 2 If you don’t have the choice to turn off the subtitles, just ignore it and focus on the video. Turn on the subtitles and watch again. If there are a lot of words and phrases you didn’t get from the video, watch the video with subtitles this time. Focus on the accent, pronunciation of the new words and phrases and how they are used. 3 Students mostly forget new vocabulary they just learned in the recent past. One of the best ways to remember whatever you learn is by writing it down on your notebook or note-taking apps on your cell phones and using it meanwhile you speak. Turn the subtitles back off and watch. You have watched the video many times and noted the words and phrases. Now you have been familiar with those words and phrases. Then turn the subtitles back off and watch the video again. Pay attention to the words and phrases you have noted down. 4 Print out the subtitles, read and record your voice. When listening to any English documentaries, print out the subtitles, then read and record your voice. 5 This helps you find out your weaknesses and correct your mispronounced words and make your accent sound like a native speaker’s. A. You can also record the whole video. B. By doing so, you will be more familiar with them. C. Some resources on video websites give you this option. D. Don’t worry if you don’t comprehend some new words. E. Note down the new words, idioms, phrases and grammar rules. F. Listen back to your recording and compare yours with the main source. G. But there is another method which can help you with the language you learn. Passage 1 （24-25高三上·辽宁沈文新研究联盟-10月·期中）Time is a valuable resource, especially for those who need to deal with academic demands, personal growth, and social activities at the same time. Effective time management not only leads to increased productivity, but reduces stress. 1 Here are some strategies to help young adults master the art of time management. Setting clear and achievable short-term and long-term goals is essential for youth. 2 They’ll also distribute time accordingly. Whether it’s studying for exams or pursuing personal interests, having well-defined goals provides a sense of direction. Meanwhile, importance levels of tasks can vary. By focusing on key tasks and minimizing time spent on unimportant ones, young adults can perfect their time management. 3 It makes efficient use of their time. Whether using a planner or a calendar app scheduling specific blocks of time for different activities, including study time, exercise,socializing, can lead to better time use. Furthermore, learning to say no is a valuable skill for youth. With numerous opportunities and interests, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. By being selective about commitments, young adults can arrange their time and energy wisely. Saying no to non-essential activities frees up time for important tasks. 4 . In the pursuit of personal success, young adults often find themselves caught up in a series of responsibilities and commitments. However, it’s essential for them to recognize that life shouldn’t be like this. Self-care plays a vital role in time management. 5 By ensuring they maintain a healthy work-life balance, young adults can recharge their energy levels, improve focus, and increase productivity. That way, they perfect time usage and pave the way for success. A. That actually prevents over-commitment. B. One should constantly review how time is spent. C. It creates opportunities for personal development as well. D. Developing a daily schedule helps young adults stay organized. E. Putting things off constantly is a common time management project. F. By knowing what they want to accomplish, they can prioritize their tasks. G. Youth should value adequate rest and activities that promote their well-being. Passage 2 （24-25高三上·吉林友好学校第78·期中）In the dynamic world of fitness, where treadmills (跑步机) hum and weights clink, an emerging concern for sustainability is reshaping the gym experience. 1 ? In this guide, we’ll navigate through key aspects of eco- conscious fitness to help you figure out if your gym is on the sustainable track. ●Energy-efficient equipment A sustainable gym starts with the tools that push your workout. Modern fitness equipment is evolving beyond the pursuit of personal records. 2 . Energy- efficient machines, equipped with regenerative braking systems and smart technology, employ the power generated during workouts to balance electricity consumption. Look at the very tools that power your workout. Are the machines equipped with energy- efficient features? Do they employ the energy generated during workouts to contribute back to the gym’s power needs? ● 3 The infrastructure (基础设施) of a gym plays a crucial role in its sustainability journey. The use of eco- friendly materials, energy- efficient lighting and strategic design for natural air circulation are key elements of a green fitness space. Explore the infrastructure of your gym. Does the overall design facilitate natural air circulation and use sustainable construction practices? ●Waste management As you are sweating it out at the gym, what happens to the waste generated? Sustainable fitness spaces prioritise comprehensive waste management systems. 4 . Direct your attention to how your gym manages waste. Are there visible recycling programs for plastics, paper and other common gym materials? Does the gym use eco- friendly cleaning products, demonstrating a commitment to minimising its environmental impact? ● Renewable energy integration 5 , but sustainable fitness facilities find innovative ways to employ renewable energy. Solar panels and other renewable energy sources are integrated into the gym’s infrastructure to offset power consumption, reducing the facility’s carbon footprint and contributing to a greener energy landscape. Investigate whether your gym is tapping into renewable energy sources. Are there solar panels or wind turbines integrated into the infrastructure? A. This involves recycling programs for common gym materials B. Green building practices C. Adaptable fitness facilities D. But how do you know if your gym is truly sustainable E. The energy demands of a busy gym can be considerable F. It’s now contributing to the joint efforts for a greener planet G. Are there signs that your workout increases carbon footprint Passage 3 （24-25高三上·辽宁普通高中-11月·期中）I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. 1 So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. 2 Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. 3 In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. 4 When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. 5 A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E. I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·辽宁县域重点高中·期中）The first motion pictures came into life in Thomas Alva Edison’s New Jersey laboratory in the early 1890s. Within two decades, movie theaters had spread across North America and Europe. 1 Their seats packed daily with audiences consuming melodramas, comedies, newsreels, and animation Then, in 1927, sound came to the big screen. For the first time, audiences heard actors’ voices and were excited about the new change this brought to the experience: From the beginning, sound technology — along with camera, film, and projection technology — steadily improved and films became increasingly complicated. 2 But what is film? Theories about this medium varied. Some say it is a collaborative (合作的) art and mass entertainment. Some think of it as a form of language and communication. 3 Others think it is a cultural document that reflects society. 4 It is shown in rapid speeds to create the illusion (错觉) of seamless motion. Anyone who has gone to the movies, however, knows that a great film can transport us well beyond the science that makes it possible. Unless the filmmaker effectively breaks film’s illusion (and varied attempts have been made to do just that), the wholeness of the world that a filmmaker can create is deeply affecting. Iris Barry, who laid the foundations for MoMA’s Department of Film and film studies, was a tireless champion of the cinema, which she saw as humanizing: “ 5 And I cannot help thinking that knowing is the same thing as sympathizing.” A. And it can be both constructive and destructive, B. And much of the rest of the world soon followed. C. Our brain regards them as being in continuous motion. D. On a technical level, a film is a series of still photographic images. E. The cinema helps us to live complete lives, in imagination if not in fact. F. It is now hard to imagine a time when films were not central to popular culture. G. History can help people develop sympathy and understand the world more completely. / 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高三上·辽宁大连育明高中学·期中）How To Make The Most Of Your Weekends We cherish our weekends. 1 How many times have you found yourself eagerly anticipating the weekend, only to be left disappointed because it went by too fast? If you want to enjoy weekends that leave you feeling refreshed and energized, then here is what you can do. Change your mindset Can you change how satisfied you are with your weekends just by changing your mindset? 2 In a study, they found that those who had treated their weekend as a vacation were significantly happier than those who had treated it as a regular weekend. That is, your mindset is more important than the amount of money you spend or the activities themselves. Change your approach After you’ve changed your mindset, here are a few practical ways that you can make the most of your weekend. 1. Start with a plan According to researchers, you should plan your weekend just as you plan your weekdays. 3 If not, you will end up doing nothing and then wonder where the time went once the weekend is over. 2. Avoid routine We live our lives mainly by routine Monday through Friday. If we’re not careful though, the familiarity of our patterns can easily lead us to become stuck in a rut of only doing the same things over and over again. The weekend is a good time to force ourselves to step out of our comfort zone. 4 3. 5 Filling your time with different activities can be fun, but to the extreme, it can also cause harm both mentally and physically. Therefore, make sure to set aside some time just for yourself so you can recharge your batteries, such as reading a favorite book. Avoid filling up your empty time with things that are not relaxing. A. Researchers say yes. B. Develop suitable hobbies. C. Allow for some downtime. D. But unexpected things will happen and ruin our holidays. E. More often than not, however, they don’t live up to our expectations. F. You should start the weekend knowing what you want to get out of it. G.

It's stated that consuming more calories than burning leads to likely weight gain and vice versa in the short term. However, research does not indicate that excessive eating will lead to steady weight gain and being overweight. 2 Fresh fruits and vegetables are healthier than canned, frozen or dried ones. Although the long-held belief is that “fresh is the best”, research has shown that frozen, canned and dried fruits and vegetables can possess the same level of nutrition as their fresh equivalents. But in fact, some of these varieties contain hidden ingredients such as added sugars and saturated（饱和的）fats. 3 Choose products that minimize the presence of these ingredients. All fat is bad. It is commonly believed that all fat is bad. 4 Although some types of fats can raise the risk of certain conditions, healthy fats like those in olive oil play a role in reducing the risk, and are crucial for providing energy, cell function, and nutrient absorption. 5 Cow's milk generally contains about eight grams of protein per cup, while oat milk two or three grams per cup. Although the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many of them have more added ingredients, like added sugars, which can be harmful to health. A. This is not the case. B. Cow's milk is much healthier. C. Here are four nutrition myths. D. Healthy fats help reduce the risk. E. Plant milk is more nutritious than dairy milk. F. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully read nutrition labels. G. Rather, it is the types of foods that may cause these conditions. 【答案】1. C 2. G 3. F 4. A 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们日常生活中关于健康的一些错误想法，以及健康专家给出的真实情况。 (1)题解析： 根据下文“They are what health experts want you to know instead.( 它们是健康专家想让你知道的。”以及下文具体的营养误区可知。C选项“以下是四个营养误区”切题，总起下文。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“However, research does not indicate that excessive eating will lead to steady weight gain and being overweight.(然而，研究并没有表明过度饮食会导致体重持续增加和超重)”可知，选项承接上文说明导致这些健康问题的原因。故G选项“相反，可能导致这些状况的是食物的类型”切题。故选G项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“But in fact, some of these varieties contain hidden ingredients such as added sugars and saturated（饱和的）fats.(但事实上，其中一些品种含有隐藏成分，如添加糖和饱和脂肪)”可知，选项与上文为因果关系。故F选项“因此，有必要仔细阅读营养标签”切题，同时与下文“Choose products that minimize the presence of these ingredients.”（尽量选择这些成分少的产品）衔接紧密，故选F项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“It is commonly believed that all fat is bad.(人们普遍认为所有的脂肪都是有害的)”以及下文“Although some types of fats can raise the risk of certain conditions, healthy fats like those in olive oil play a role in reducing the risk, and are crucial for providing energy, cell function, and nutrient absorption.(尽管某些类型的脂肪会增加某些疾病的风险，但健康的脂肪，如橄榄油中的脂肪，在降低风险方面发挥着作用，对提供能量、细胞功能和营养吸收至关重要)”可知，“人们普遍认为所有的脂肪都是有害的”这个观点不一定正确。故A选项“事实并非如此”切题，承上启下。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 根据下文“Cow's milk generally contains about eight grams of protein per cup, while oat milk two or three grams per cup. Although the nutrition of plant-based beverages can vary, many of them have more added ingredients, like added sugars, which can be harmful to health.(牛奶一般每杯含有约8克蛋白质，而燕麦牛奶每杯含有2至3克蛋白质。虽然植物性饮料的营养成分各不相同，但其中许多都含有更多的添加成分，如添加糖，这可能对健康有害)”可知，本段主要讲“植物奶比牛奶更有营养”这个误区，为本段的标题。故E选项“植物奶比牛奶更有营养”切题。故选E项。 Passage 3 （25-26高三上·吉林九校联合·期中）Giving Old Buildings a New Life Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly. Sadly, many are forgotten, falling apart, and their stories fading away. 1 Fortunately, Chinese cities are finding creative ways to revive them. Instead of turning them into untouched museum pieces, these buildings are being transformed into lively spaces like cafes, bookstores, or galleries. 2 Some worry that changing a building’s use might harm it. 3 Take “Xianlang” cafe in Beijing as an example. It occupies a century-old site, the former Sino-French University. The cafe preserves the original exterior, including wooden carvings and windows. Inside, it uses colors inspired by French artist Henri Matisse, creating a space where visitors enjoy coffee while experiencing the cultural link between China and France. It’s more than a cafe; it’s a storyteller. 4 Bagong’s House in Wuhan, a red-brick building from the early 1900s once used by Russian tea merchants, is now a high-end hotel preserving its facade. Inside, digital exhibitions showcase the ancient tea road history it witnessed. It also hosts talks and art shows, actively sharing its past with the public. Bringing old buildings back to life takes creativity and a strong sense of responsibility. 5 Every time an old building is brought back to life, a piece of cultural memory is saved, and part of the city’s story continues. A. Such neglect reflects a common challenge in urban development worldwide. B. Therefore, protecting them requires government funding and public support. C. This creative reuse gives old structures new purposes while keeping their souls. D. We need to find a balance between respecting the past and adding new ideas. E. However, sensitive restoration that respects history allows for functional change. F. These cultural treasures might disappear forever without timely and dedicated preservation. G.

It’s more than a cafe; it’s a storyteller.(以北京的“仙郎”咖啡馆为例。它坐落在一个有百年历史的遗址上，是前中法大学。咖啡馆保留了原来的外观，包括木雕和窗户。在内部，它使用了受法国艺术家亨利·马蒂斯启发的颜色，创造了一个空间，让游客在享受咖啡的同时体验中法之间的文化联系。它不仅仅是一家咖啡馆，还是一个讲故事的人。)”通过举例说明了尊重历史的敏感修复是如何允许功能性的改变的。由此可知，空处应该描述如何解决人们对改变老建筑用途的担忧，选项E“然而，尊重历史的敏感修复允许功能性的改变”符合语境，能够承接上文描述的担忧，并引出下文通过举例说明的解决方法。故选E。 (4)题解析： 下文“Bagong’s House in Wuhan, a red-brick building from the early 1900s once used by Russian tea merchants, is now a high-end hotel preserving its facade.

In such a fast-paced world, quiet people, with less time spent chatting, have more energy to observe situations and people. Ask a quiet person their thoughts on a situation or person, and you may be surprised to receive an extremely reflective answer. 2 Quiet people think before they speak. In a work discussion with colleagues, the quiet men and women hardly speak suddenly, and instead, they listen carefully. With less time spent talking, quiet people have time to really think before they speak. 3 Because they are so selective with words, when they speak, it seems like the whole world stops to listen to what they have to say. 4 With their quiet, relaxed temperament (性情), quiet people are often the ears that others run to for advice, and are also respected for their good listening skills and cautious words. Additionally, quiet people rarely annoy others in their presence and they often make others feel at ease. Quiet people work on a more productive basis. Quiet people tend to be free from the distractions that often come from being around people all day long. 5 It is common to observe a quiet co-worker, alone in his or her office for hours at a time working on the quiet focus. A. Less talking means more reflecting and observing, so they won’t miss much. B. Quiet people seem accessible. C. Actually quiet people have their own strengths, though. D. Consequently, they are capable of accomplishing a lot on their quiet focus. E. It is rare to see a quiet friend speak rudely. F. In this way, they will take the time to ensure what they are saying is true. G. Quiet people are more intelligent. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. F 4. B 5. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。文章从善于观察、三思而后言、善于倾听、工作高效专注四个角度展开论证，反驳 “多数人渴望成为外向者”的普遍认知，强调内向者亦有独特优势。 (1)题解析： 根据第一段首句“A majority of people desire to become the extroverts.(大多数人渴望成为外向的人)”和第三句“For example, quiet people are good observers.(例如，安静的人是很好的观察者)”可知，这是将外向的人和安静的人作对比，说明安静的人的优势。第一题位于它们之间，要满足承上启下原则，打破“外向优于安静” 的刻板印象，C项“实际上，安静的人也有他们自己的优势”，能引出下文举例内容。故选C。 (2)题解析： 第二题在第二段句首，要满足主题一致原则，后文围绕它展开论述。根据这段话中的“Quiet people think before they speak. In a work discussion with colleagues, the quiet men and women hardly speak suddenly, and instead, they listen carefully. With less time spent talking, quiet people have time to really think before they speak.(安静的人在开口前会思考。在与同事的工作讨论中，安静的男女很少突然发言，相反，他们会认真倾听。由于说话时间较少，安静的人有时间在开口前进行真正的思考)”可推断，安静的人虽然说话不多，但他们会多思考，A项“少说话意味着多反思与多观察，因此他们不会错过太多”，与推断相吻合。故选A。 (3)题解析： 第三题在第二段中间，根据它前面一句“With less time spent talking, quiet people have time to really think before they speak.(由于花在交谈上的时间较少，安静的人有时间在开口前进行认真思考)”和后面一句“Because they are so selective with words, when they speak, it seems like the whole world stops to listen to what they have to say.(因为他们用词极为考究，所以当他们开口时，仿佛整个世界都停下来聆听他们要说的话)”可推知，由于安静的人热衷思考，他们开口说话时更有可信度。本题位于它们之间，要满足承上启下的原则，体现安静的人说话时具有真实性，F项“如此一来，他们便会花时间确保自己所言属实”，满足承上启下的功能。故选F。 (4)题解析： 第四题在第三段句首，要满足主题一致原则，后文围绕它展开论述。根据下文“With their quiet, relaxed temperament(性情), quiet people are often the ears that others run to for advice, and are also respected for their good listening skills and cautious words. Additionally, quiet people rarely annoy others in their presence and they often make others feel at ease.(性格安静、沉稳的人，往往是他人寻求建议时会找的倾听者，他们良好的倾听技巧和谨慎的言辞也备受尊重。此外，安静的人在与人相处时很少惹恼他人，他们常常能让别人感到自在)”可知，安静的人平易近人，B项“安静的人似乎平易近人”，与推断相吻合。故选B。 (5)题解析： 第五题在第四段中间，结合它前面一句“Quiet people tend to be free from the distractions that often come from being around people all day long.(安静的人往往不会受到那些常常源于整日与人相处而产生的干扰)”和后面一句“It is common to observe a quiet co-worker, alone in his or her office for hours at a time working on the quiet focus.(人们常常会看到一位安静的同事，独自在办公室里一待就是几个小时，专注地安静工作)”可知，安静的人工作不会分心，工作效率高，本题位于它们之间，要满足承上启下的原则，体现安静的人能专注工作并取得成绩，D项表示“因此，凭借沉稳的专注力，他们能够收获丰硕成果”，与推断相吻合。故选D。 Passage 5 （25-26高三上·辽宁名校·期中）People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. 1 ●Embrace strategic risk. One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: 2 Ask yourself, “Does this risk match my values? Is it moving me toward something I care about?” If yes, expect some embarrassment. The biggest payoffs live just past that initial awkward phase. ● 3 Many of us have grown too afraid of taking risks — maybe because one risk made us embarrassed. A good way to feel less scared of risks is to ask yourself: “What’s one small thing I can do to get used to not knowing what will happen?” Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. ●Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. 4 In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. Another easy way to stretch your risk- taking muscles is by copying someone you admire. Imagine them in your shoes and how they'd approach your challenge. How would they talk, walk or hold themselves? Even standing tall sends a signal to your brain that “you’ve got this”. ●Forgive yourself. We all have moments when we don't do the thing that will help us grow. And that’s okay! Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. 5 Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. A. Enjoy small wins. B. Our body impacts our mind. C. Overcome unexpected fears. D. No one is courageous all the time. E. Humans always have high expectations. F. Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. G. The following tips will help you outsmart fear. 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. A 4. B 5. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。本文指出冒险虽不易，却能带来收获，给出拥抱策略性风险、享受小胜利、调节身心、善待自己四条建议，助人们克服恐惧、变得勇敢。 (1)题解析： 由上文“People say fortune favors the brave, but taking a leap is easier said than done. (人们说勇者有好运，但付诸行动远比说起来容易。)”和下文列出的四条建议可知，空格处需引出“帮助克服恐惧、勇敢冒险”的方法。G项“The following tips will help you outsmart fear. (以下建议将帮助你智取恐惧。)”符合语境，“The following tips”衔接下文具体建议，“outsmart fear”呼应上文“taking a leap is easier said than done”，承上启下。故选G项。 (2)题解析： 由上文“One of the biggest misconceptions about risk-taking is that if something feels uncomfortable, it’s a sign to back away. But researches have taught us this: (关于冒险，最大的误解之一是如果某件事让人感到不适，就该退缩。但研究告诉我们：)”和下文“If yes, expect some embarrassment. (如果是，那就预料到会有些尴尬。)”可知，空格处需说明“勇敢与尴尬的关联”。F项“Bravery and awkwardness are sisters in life. (勇敢和尴尬是生活中的姐妹。)”符合语境，“Bravery”呼应上文“risk-taking”，“awkwardness”衔接下文“embarrassment”，解释了“冒险伴随不适”的合理性，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 (3)题解析： 由下文“Start with bite-size, winnable risks, like speaking up in a meeting, volunteering for a project slightly outside your wheelhouse. (从微小、可成功的风险开始，比如在会议上发言，主动承担略超出能力范围的项目。)”可知，本段围绕“从小风险入手、积累小成功”展开，空格处需作为主题句点明核心。A项“Enjoy small wins. (享受小胜利。)”符合语境，“small wins”呼应下文“bite-size, winnable risks”，直接点明段落主题，引出具体做法，衔接自然。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 由上文“Breathe in bravery. Breathe out fear. (吸气拥抱勇敢，呼气释放恐惧。)”和下文“In other words, taking a few deep breaths helps regulate anxiety. (换句话说，深呼吸有助于调节焦虑。)”可知，空格处需说明“身体动作对心理的影响”。B项“Our body impacts our mind. (我们的身体会影响心理。)”符合语境，“Our body”指代上文“深呼吸”的动作，“impacts our mind”呼应下文“调节焦虑”的心理效果，解释了“呼吸调节情绪”的原理，逻辑清晰。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Instead of beating yourself up, forgive yourself because you’re human. (不要自责，原谅自己，因为你只是个普通人。)”和下文“Being kind to yourself may just be the best way to step forward toward a braver version of yourself. (善待自己或许正是迈向更勇敢自我的最佳方式。)”可知，空格处需补充“不必时刻勇敢”的观点。D项“No one is courageous all the time. (没有人能一直勇敢。)”符合语境，“No one is courageous all the time”呼应上文“forgive yourself because you’re human”，为“善待自己”提供理由，衔接紧密。故选D项。 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·辽宁七校协作体-11月·期中）Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. 1 Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. 2 Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory. 3 Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed. Rehearse your speech for a friend. 4 It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly. Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language. 5 Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to cover during the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered. A. Type up the speech. B. Make a list of things that scare you about the speech. C. If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times. D. However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice. E. It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation. F. You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information. G. Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. G 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何在一夜之间记住一篇演讲。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there.(在一个晚上记住一篇演讲不是一件容易的事情，但这是可能的。有数百种不同的记忆技巧。)”可知，这里为承上启下句，记忆的方法有很多，但有好的方法。所以选择项D“However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice.(然而，最好的方法是基本的、经过验证的重复和练习的策略。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. (写出整个演讲。只要拿一张纸和一支笔，写下整个演讲。)”和下文“Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory.(许多人在积极记录信息的时候会更好地记忆信息。在另一张纸上抄写演讲稿有助于记忆。)”可知，通过多写几遍演讲稿而达到记忆的目的。所以选择项C“If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times. (如果演讲比较短，可以考虑多写几遍。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。 (3)题解析： 这里为本段中心句。根据下文“Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. (就像把演讲稿写在纸上一样，把演讲稿打出来也可以通过视觉学习来帮助记忆。因为打字通常比手写快，你可能有更多的时间在一个晚上打几次演讲稿。你没有必要每次都把打好的演讲稿打印出来。)”可知，本段主要介绍把演讲稿的内容打出来。所以选择项A“Type up the speech (把发言稿打出来。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Rehearse your speech for a friend. (在朋友面前排练你的演讲。)”和下文“It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information.(在别人面前练习演讲是很重要的，以确保你真正了解演讲信息。请求你的朋友给你一些建议。)”可知，在正式演讲前建议先在朋友面前练习。所以选择项G“Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people. (有时你可能认为自己很了解自己的演讲，但当你在众人面前表演时，你就会愣住。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language. (录下自己排练演讲的过程。如果你没有人陪你练习，试着在你排练演讲的时候给自己录音。视频录音是最好的，因为你可以观看录音并评论你的演讲和肢体语言。)”可知，本段介绍通过录制自己的演讲来帮助记住演讲的内容。所以选择项F“You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information. (你也可以一边听录音，一边做其他事情来帮助记住信息。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·黑龙江新时代高中教育联合体·期中）Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach? Hours with your friends at the park? 1 They spend far more time alone, which often leads to loneliness. According to a study on children’s behaviour change and emotional well-being, loneliness among children is on the rise. But there are ways parents can help. Discover the cause When children feel that no one really “gets” them, this can be described as emotional loneliness. 2 Whether they’re struggling to make friends, feeling excluded, or going through a big change, validating their emotions and understanding the root cause can help support them in the right way. Build their confidence Loneliness, especially when feeling left out, can trigger self-doubt and cause children to question their self-worth. 3 Recognizing what they do well helps rebuild their confidence and reinforces a positive self-image. As their confidence grows, they feel more included and become more willing to engage with others. 4 Obviously, helping children find opportunities to connect with peers is a good way to help them feel less lonely. Connecting with others through joining a club, starting a new hobby or simply spending more quality time together as a family can often help with loneliness. Build a supportive environment Loneliness lowers self-esteem and increases anxiety or sadness. It isn’t something that disappears overnight and can’t just be resolved with one conversation. Regular check-ins，showing interest, and reminding them they’re not alone can make a lasting difference. 5 A. Communicate openly B. Encourage socializing C. Children should learn how to handle failure. D. There are many reasons why a child may be lonely. E. However, today’s children won’t have the same memories. F. After all, gentle parenting builds confident and connected individuals G. It’s vital to remind them of their strengths and celebrate their achievements. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. G 4. B 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了儿童孤独感上升的现象，并从发现原因、建立自信、鼓励社交、营造支持性环境等方面给出了父母帮助孩子应对孤独感的方法。 (1)题解析： 上文“Casting your mind back to your childhood, what do you remember? Sun-drenched days playing on the beach?

Be genuinely curious about their passions, listen attentively to their life stories, and avoid dismissing them too quickly. Active inquiries help uncover potential soul connections.(不要错过与陌生人建立联结的机会。真诚地好奇他们的热情所在，认真倾听他们的人生故事，避免过早否定他们。主动提问有助于发现潜在的灵魂联结)”可知，下文指出要主动询问新朋友以发现潜在的灵魂联结，C选项“Ask new acquaintances lots of questions about themselves.(向新认识的人多问一些关于他们自己的问题)”是对下文“Active inquiries”的同义概括，且“new acquaintances”与下文“new people”相呼应，准确提炼了本段“通过主动提问与陌生人建立联结、寻找灵魂家族”的核心建议，适合作为段落小标题。故选C项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Your soul family will find you in time, so stay patient and keep hope alive.(你的灵魂家族终会找到你，所以保持耐心，心存希望)”以及下文“Volunteering is a great way to enrich your spiritual life. Whether at food banks or animal shelters, helping others deepens your connections and attracts like-minded souls.(志愿服务是丰富个人精神生活的好方法。无论是在食品银行还是动物收容所，帮助他人都能加深你的人际关系，并吸引志同道合的人)”可知，上文说要有耐心等待灵魂家族的出现，下文则提到除了等待，还可以采取主动行动去寻找灵魂家族，A选项“Besides waiting, you can also take active steps.(除了等待，你还可以采取积极的行动)”通过“Besides waiting”承接上文“保持耐心”的建议，再以“take active steps”引出下文“志愿服务”这一具体行动，形成逻辑递进，使建议更全面。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Toxic relationships only create noise in your spiritual journey. Evaluate if relationships help you grow or hold you back. If someone brings out your worst, consider ending the relationship.(有毒的关系只会在你的精神旅程中制造干扰。评估一段关系是帮助你成长还是阻碍你。如果有人让你展现出最坏的一面，考虑结束这段关系)”可知，上文说明了要摆脱不利于精神成长的关系，B选项“Make space for those who truly connect with your soul.(为那些能与你灵魂真正联结的人腾出空间)”是对“结束有毒关系”的正向延伸，即清除负面关系后，才能为灵魂家族成员留出位置，其中“Make space”与上文“ending the relationship”形成“先舍后得”的逻辑，符合寻找灵魂家族的核心需求。故选B项。 Passage 4 （25-26高三上·黑龙江龙东十校联盟·期中）Rest has been treated as a reward, something earned through exhaustion or squeezed in when we can find time. But from a biological point of view, rest isn’t optional. It’s a survival mechanism, hardwired into the way our bodies and brains stay balanced, focused, and well. We are designed to shift fluently through a rhythm of activation, rest, and renewal — this is how we stay resilient (有适应力的). 1 Constant stimulation, pressure to perform, and digital overload keep us locked in overdrive. We override tiredness. We treat anxiety as normal. We forget that rest is built in. Over time, this imbalance quietly affects us. Sleep quality slips, memory suffers, and immunity declines. We’re not machines made for output. We’re human beings made for rhythm. Nature rests. 2 Why would we be the only system that believes we must run non-stop? Biologically, rest is our evolutionary fallback mode. When activity becomes unsustainable, the body downshifts to protect itself. But pausing (暂停) isn’t weakness. 3 When we pause, breathing slows, and the brain regains access to memory, reasoning, and emotional control. And it doesn’t take long: within a minute, change begins. 4 Research from Stanford shows that even brief pauses, a few deep breaths, a moment between tasks, can improve heart rate variability, and sharpen focus. And in that pause, something else happens. Neuroscientists now understand that periods of stillness are not empty. 5 What we call doing nothing is often the moment we make sense of everything. Insight doesn’t always arrive while solving, it often comes when the mind has space to wander. Even with this knowledge, the real challenge in slowing down isn’t physical. It’s psychological. There’s always an underlying pressure to feel like we need more. So we push, and we exhaust ourselves. A. This isn’t just hearsay. B. It’s how the body begins to recover. C. But modern life has broken that flow. D. Even the heart rests between every beat. E. This is a common practice in the animal kingdom. F. It allows the brain to enter a mode of deep relaxation. G. They’re when the brain integrates, processes, and connects. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. A 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了休息并非可有可无，而是人类生理和心理的必要机制。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“We are designed to shift fluently through a rhythm of activation, rest, and renewal — this is how we stay resilient (有适应力的).(我们被设计成在激活、休息和更新的节奏中流畅地转换——这就是我们保持弹性的方式。)”和后文“Constant stimulation, pressure to perform, and digital overload keep us locked in overdrive.(持续的刺激、业绩压力和数字超载使我们处于超速状态。)”可知，该空前后内容存在转折关系，且后文描述了现代生活对这种自然节奏的破坏，所以选项C“But modern life has broken that flow.(但是现代生活打破了这种流动。)”符合语境。故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“We’re not machines made for output. We’re human beings made for rhythm. Nature rests. (我们不是为输出而制造的机器。我们是为节奏而生的人类。休息是自然规律。)”和后文“Why would we be the only system that believes we must run non-stop?( 为什么我们是唯一相信我们必须不停运行的系统？)”可知，该空前后内容都在强调人类需要休息，所以该空也应该与“休息”有关，选项D“Even the heart rests between every beat.(甚至心脏在每次跳动之间都会休息。)”符合语境，故选D。 (3)题解析： 根据前文“Biologically, rest is our evolutionary fallback mode. When activity becomes unsustainable, the body downshifts to protect itself. But pausing (暂停) isn’t weakness.(从生物学上讲，休息是我们进化的退路。当活动变得不可持续时，身体会减速以保护自己。但暂停并不是软弱。)”和后文“When we pause, breathing slows, and the brain regains access to memory, reasoning, and emotional control.(当我们暂停时，呼吸减慢，大脑恢复记忆，推理和情绪控制。)”可知，该空前后内容都在解释“暂停”的生理意义，且后文描述了暂停时身体的具体反应，及对身体的好处，选项B“It’s how the body begins to recover.(这是身体开始恢复的过程。)”符合语境。故选B。 (4)题解析： 后文“Research from Stanford shows that even brief pauses, a few deep breaths, a moment between tasks, can improve heart rate variability, and sharpen focus.( 斯坦福大学的研究表明，即使是短暂的停顿，几次深呼吸，任务之间的片刻间歇，都可以改善心率变异性，提高注意力。)”提到了斯坦福大学的研究，这是具体的证据，所以该空应该引出后文的证据，选项A“This isn’t just hearsay.(这不仅仅是道听途说)”符合语境。故选A。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“And in that pause, something else happens. Neuroscientists now understand that periods of stillness are not empty.(在这个停顿中，其他事情发生了。神经科学家现在明白，静止的时间并不是空的。)”和后文“What we call doing nothing is often the moment we make sense of everything. Insight doesn’t always arrive while solving, it often comes when the mind has space to wander.(我们所谓的什么都不做往往是我们理解一切的时刻。顿悟并不总是在解决问题的时候出现，它往往是在头脑有空间漫游的时候出现的。)”可知，该空前后内容都在解释静止时刻的重要性，且后文描述了静止时刻对大脑的具体影响，选项G“They’re when the brain integrates, processes, and connects.(它们是大脑整合、处理和连接的时候。)”符合语境。故选G。 Passage 5 （25-26高三上·内蒙古赤峰市校·期中）How to Develop Effective Reading Habits? Reading is a fundamental skill that enriches our knowledge and broadens our perspectives. However, many people struggle to maintain consistent reading habits. With the right strategies, anyone can become a regular reader and enjoy the benefits it brings. Set clear reading goals. Before you start, think about what you want to gain from reading. 1 Your goals will help you choose the right books and stay motivated. For example, if you aim to improve your vocabulary, you might focus on literary classics or non-fiction works with rich language. Create a reading schedule that fits your daily routine. 2 It could be 20 minutes in the morning before work, 15 minutes during your lunch break, or half an hour before bed. Consistency is more important than the amount of time you spend reading each day. Set a reminder on your phone or mark your reading time on a calendar to help you stick to the schedule. Choose the right reading environment. 3 Some people prefer quiet places like libraries or their home study, while others enjoy reading in cafes with soft background music. Make sure your reading space is comfortable — have a good chair, proper lighting, and keep distractions like phones or TVs to a minimum. Take notes while reading to enhance comprehension. This helps you engage actively with the text and retain information better. Write down key ideas, unfamiliar words, or questions that come to mind. You can use a notebook, sticky notes, or digital tools like e- readers with note- taking features. 4 5 Keeping track of your reading journey can motivate you to keep going. Whether you finish a book, reach a reading goal, or discover a new favorite author, take time to acknowledge your achievement. Reward yourself with a trip to a bookstore, a new bookmarks, or simply the satisfaction of knowing you’re building a valuable habit. A. Celebrate your progress. B. Keep your reading journey going. C. Do you get the right books that you want to read? D. Everyone has different preferences for where they read best. E. Reviewing your notes later will help you remember what you’ve read. F. Do you want to learn new skills, explore different cultures, or simply relax? G. Reading in a short, regular session is more effective than a long, occasional one 【答案】1. F 2. G 3. D 4. E 5.

Let them vent? Offer a chocolate bar? Give them space so they can have a good cry? 1 But one of the most powerful ways to relieve a person’s feelings is to start a conversation. Confirm their emotions. One consistent finding from the research is that telling people they shouldn’t feel so bad typically makes them feel worse. This kind of strategy sends the message that they’re overreacting, which, absurdly, only makes them more emotional. 2 Comments like, “I can imagine that was difficult” are more comforting than other kinds of feedback that try to help a person change their thinking about the problem. Help them strategize if they’re open to it. While phrases of support can make people feel better, not everyone is open to such an approach, because it can feel ineffective. 3 If they focus on their emotions by saying something like “I feel like they don’t care about me” they are probably only looking for support. If, on the other hand, they say that they wish they felt differently, or that they want to know how to solve a problem, then they are inviting you to help them. If they welcome problem solving, frame it carefully. If you think the other person is open to letting you help them strategize, tell them that you understand why they feel the way they do, or that you would have reacted similarly. Then, ease into a problem-solving strategy. 4 This involves helping people understand that while things may be bad now, they’ll likely improve over time. Remember that it’s the thought that counts. People appreciate support even if it isn’t exactly aligned with their needs. In other words, what matters most is not that you say the right thing, but that you are present and try to help. We can make a difference to other people with relatively little effort. 5 A. Support is the correct way. B. So first, listen to how they discuss their situation. C. Sometimes just being there is all that you need to do. D. The ideal approach depends on specific circumstances. E. Temporal distancing means a period of time in between. F. An approach known as “temporal distancing” works best. G. You need to push them to forget the upsetting problem first. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 4. F 5. C 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了如何安慰伤心的朋友和家人的具体做法，比如认可他们的情绪，如果他们愿意，帮助他们制订解决策略等。 (1)题解析： 上文“Let them vent? Offer a chocolate bar? Give them space so they can have a good cry? (让他们倾诉？递上一块巧克力？给他们空间让他们好好哭一场？)”列举了多种安慰难过之人的常见做法，下文“But one of the most powerful ways to relieve a person’s feelings is to start a conversation. (但缓解他人情绪最有效的方法之一是开启对话。)”通过转折引出核心方法。D项“理想的方法取决于具体情况。”承上启下，既回应了上文多种做法的存在，说明没有绝对统一的方法，又为下文引出核心方法做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选D。 (2)题解析： 上文“One consistent finding from the research is that telling people they shouldn’t feel so bad typically makes them feel worse. This kind of strategy sends the message that they’re overreacting, which, absurdly, only makes them more emotional.(该研究的一个一致发现是，告诉人们不要感觉这么糟糕通常会让他们感觉更糟。这种策略传递的信息是他们反应过度，荒谬的是，这只会让他们更加情绪化。)”指出了不当安慰方式的弊端，下文“Comments like, “I can imagine that was difficult” are more comforting (像“我能想象那一定很难”这样的话更令人感到安慰)”给出了恰当的安慰表述。A项“支持才是正确的方式。”作为过渡句，既否定了上文的不当方式，又引出下文正确的支持性安慰方式，“support”与下文的安慰话语相呼应。故选A。 (3)题解析： 上文“While phrases of support can make people feel better, not everyone is open to such an approach, because it can feel ineffective.(虽然支持的短语可以让人们感觉更好，但并不是每个人都对这种方法持开放态度，因为它可能会让人感觉无效)”说明需要根据对方态度调整方式，下文通过“If they focus on their emotions by saying something like “I feel like they don’t care about me” they are probably only looking for support. If, on the other hand, they say that they wish they felt differently, or that they want to know how to solve a problem, then they are inviting you to help them.(如果他们把注意力集中在自己的情绪上，比如说“我觉得他们不在乎我”，他们可能只是在寻求支持。另一方面，如果他们说他们希望有不同的感觉，或者他们想知道如何解决问题，那么他们是在邀请你帮助他们)”的对比，给出了判断对方态度的具体依据。B项“所以首先，听听他们如何描述自己的情况。”承上启下，“listen to how they discuss”对应下文对对方不同表述的分析，为判断是否提供策略支持提供了方法。故选B。 (4)题解析： 上文“Then, ease into a problem-solving strategy.(然后，逐步引入解决问题的策略)”提出要构建解决策略，下文“This involves helping people understand that while things may be bad now, they’ll likely improve over time. (这包括帮助人们理解，虽然现在情况可能很糟糕，但随着时间的推移，情况可能会好转)”解释了该策略的具体内涵。F项“一种被称为‘时间距离法’的方法效果最好。”承接上文的策略构建，引出具体策略名称，“temporal distancing”与下文“over time”相呼应，且“works best”符合上文“problem-solving strategy”的效果预期。故选F。 (5)题解析： 上文“In other words, what matters most is not that you say the right thing, but that you are present and try to help. We can make a difference to other people with relatively little effort.(换句话说，最重要的不是你说了正确的话，而是你在场并试图提供帮助。我们可以用相对较少的努力为其他人带来改变)”强调了陪伴和努力的重要性。C项“有时候，仅仅在场就足够了。”是对上文观点的总结升华，“being there”与上文“are present”直接呼应，强化了陪伴的核心意义。故选C。 Passage 7 （25-26高三上·黑龙江哈尔滨师范大学附属中学·期中）I got afraid when I was going to join Thompson Rivers University (TRU) here in Canada. The fact was that I was far away from my country with a totally new culture and new people and I became nervous because I had no experience of getting adjusted with a whole new place, language and culture. 1 Speaking English fluently and maintaining my confidence when chatting with each person here posed another for me. Before I landed in Canada, I had known I would face a lot of problems. 2 It happened especially when it came to figuring out how to fix it or make the necessary adjustments here. I wasn’t able to communicate with people so easily because the accent here in Canada wasn’t familiar to me. 3 That directly contributed to my hesitation in talking with people around me. Besides, the fear of making mistakes was killing my desire to give it another try. To break through these difficulties, I realized that I had to actively engage with the local environment and the diverse community around me. When I first came to TRU, I met with national and international students, talked to them about our culture, like how our interactions happened, the way we communicated, and the traditions we were keeping. I started to observe people, including how they talked, their expressions, intonation, stress, vocabulary, and the way they used phrases in conversations.

Instead, observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit. 1 You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people. 2 It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him in a single environment, such as the workplace. It is often possible, however, to get some idea of his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him. Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is. 3 To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter. 4 The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an indication of character. A person’s character is affected by his attitude. 5 Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others. When you are trying to assess someone’s character, remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity. A. More importantly, it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle. B. The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has. C. There are many other things in life that may require commitment. D. This includes both people he knows and people he does not know. E. Also, pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life. F. Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies. G. Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. F 4. B 5.

Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views. 2 The choice will depend on the other person’s situation. If he/ she already agrees with you, then your negativity can raise the intensity of his/ her views. 3 Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased. And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours. 4 When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker. Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers. 5 So, if you want to be more persuasive, consider the specific situations and share them more positively — in other words, turn your beliefs and values into a gift, rather than a weapon. A. One size, however, won’t fit for all. B. This is the so- called backfire effect. C. All you would want is to get the person out of the way. D. When you feel strongly about something, it’s hard not to talk about it. E. This is essentially the result of using your flowers negatively as weapons. F. To achieve the goal, you can outline your views either positively or negatively. G. Positive emotions may be better at leading to imitation than negative emotions. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. A 4. B 5. E 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述我们在试着说服他人时，有时会适得其反，试着用更加积极、委婉的语言风格不失为一个好方法。 (1)题解析： 上文“Humans have a need to share their beliefs and values with other people.(人类需要与他人分享他们的信仰和价值观)”提到人类需要与他人分享自己的信仰和价值观，D项“当你对某事有强烈的感觉时，你很难不去谈论它”进一步阐述上文，说明文人们需要分享的原因，故选D。 (2)题解析： 上文“Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views.(除了建立联系之外，你可能希望别人以你的感受为榜样的另一个原因是让他们改变自己的观点)”提到人们分享的另一个原因——想让对方改变他们自己的观点，F项“为了达到这个目标，你可以用积极或消极的方式来表达你的观点”承接上文，F项中“the goal”指代上文的“to get them to alter their views”，故选F。 (3)题解析： 上文提到分享是为了改变别人的观点，根据下文“Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased.(有时候，与你交谈的人并不像你那样思考问题。他们只会认为你的陈述是夸张和有偏见的)”可知，本段和上文是转折关系，A项“然而，一种尺寸不会适合所有人”符合语境，故选A。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours.(你根本不会让他们模仿你。在更大程度上，如果他们不同意你的观点，你所说的话会使他们的价值观与你的价值观相抵触)”和下文“When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker.(当人们觉得自己持有的观点被冒犯时，他们更有可能深入研究自己的立场，反对说话者的立场)”可知上下文都是在说你不仅无法改变别人的观点，反而会让别人更加坚持自己的观点，B项“这就叫适得其反”符合语境，故选B。 (5)题解析： 上文“Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers.(想象一下，一个人带着一束美丽的花来到你家。但是当你打开门时，他/她用花打你)”提到别人带着一束花来到你家，却用花打你，E项“这主要是由于将给你的花作为武器负面使用了”解释上述行为的原因，故选E。 Passage 10 （24-25高三上·辽宁点石联考·期中）How to Learn a New Language From Subtitles (字幕) of Movies In order to learn a new language, people mostly take a special class. 1 Yes, “SUBTITLES”.

As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. 1 So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. 2 Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. 3 In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. 4 When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. 5 A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E.

Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them.(当有人来你的地区旅游时，不要只带他们去旅游景点。带他们去那些对你有意义的地方。通过你带他们去的地方和你给他们的经历，向他们展示你的心)”可知，本段讲述的是有人去你所在的地区，不要带他们去景点，你可以带他们去你觉得有意义的地方，结合上一段中讲述的作者带他游客去他所在地区体验当地文化可知，该段讲述的与上文作者的做法一样，A选项“Everyone can do the same.(每个人都可以做同样的事情)”概括了本段的内容，且起到了承上启下的作用。故选A项。 (5)题解析： 根据空前的“It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again.(这是一个你和游客可能永远不会再获得的时刻)”可知，此处讲述的是这是与游客很可能永远不会获得的时间，F选项“Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.(不要匆忙的体验，彻底享受和那人在一起的每一刻)”中的“enjoy every moment with that person.”与空前的内容吻合，其中的that person与空前的the tourist指代一致。故选F项。 Passage 4 （25-26高三上·辽宁县域重点高中·期中）The first motion pictures came into life in Thomas Alva Edison’s New Jersey laboratory in the early 1890s. Within two decades, movie theaters had spread across North America and Europe. 1 Their seats packed daily with audiences consuming melodramas, comedies, newsreels, and animation Then, in 1927, sound came to the big screen. For the first time, audiences heard actors’ voices and were excited about the new change this brought to the experience: From the beginning, sound technology — along with camera, film, and projection technology — steadily improved and films became increasingly complicated. 2 But what is film? Theories about this medium varied. Some say it is a collaborative (合作的) art and mass entertainment. Some think of it as a form of language and communication. 3 Others think it is a cultural document that reflects society. 4 It is shown in rapid speeds to create the illusion (错觉) of seamless motion. Anyone who has gone to the movies, however, knows that a great film can transport us well beyond the science that makes it possible. Unless the filmmaker effectively breaks film’s illusion (and varied attempts have been made to do just that), the wholeness of the world that a filmmaker can create is deeply affecting. Iris Barry, who laid the foundations for MoMA’s Department of Film and film studies, was a tireless champion of the cinema, which she saw as humanizing: “ 5 And I cannot help thinking that knowing is the same thing as sympathizing.” A. And it can be both constructive and destructive, B. And much of the rest of the world soon followed. C. Our brain regards them as being in continuous motion. D. On a technical level, a film is a series of still photographic images. E. The cinema helps us to live complete lives, in imagination if not in fact. F. It is now hard to imagine a time when films were not central to popular culture. G. History can help people develop sympathy and understand the world more completely. 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. A 4. D 5.
