Know about your purpose. Start by figuring out why you want to improve your English skills. For struggling ones, it’s important to master classroom dialogues to pass exams and build confidence. For top students, English fluency develops academic excellence and prepares them for cross-cultural communication. 2 Involve yourself in real-life practice. For struggling students this could mean practicing role-playing simple conversations with classmates. 3 . In spite of your current level, view these exercises as stepping stones to build confidence for broader English use. Seek opportunities to apply your skills in real-world settings where English is used. 4 Take advantage of language-learning apps, online courses, and English-speaking communities to build daily habits. Spend 10 minutes memorizing vocabulary with a learning app after breakfast. Take a 10-minute online grammar course after lunch. Watch short English videos for 10 minutes after dinner to practice listening. Whatever you choose to do, the key is to keep the habits you’ve formed. Celebrate small wins. Language learning takes time, so celebrate your progress! Treat yourself to a chocolate after remembering 10 new words, or share your achievements when you finish daily practice. 5 Each improvement, whether it’s mastering a grammar rule or reaching your desired score, is a step toward success. A. Fall into daily habits. B. Improve online learning skills. C. This builds confidence and keeps you going. D. Follow these key steps to improve your reading skills. E.

However, this is a skill that you can improve over time. You can spend some time using your imagination to relate what you’re studying to your life.(事实上，把你所学的和你的日常生活联系起来并不总是那么容易。然而，这是一项你可以随着时间的推移而提高的技能。你可以花些时间运用你的想象力，在你学习的东西和你的生活之间建立联系)”可知，讲的是建议把所学的东西和生活联系起来。由此可知，D项“Create connections with what you are studying.(与你正在学习的东西建立联系)”意思一致，为总结该段的内容。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据前文“Please remember not to just write down your notes mindlessly.

This not only lifts your mood but also improves sleep quality over time.(在清晨阳光下仅活动 15分钟就能帮助调节身体的睡眠周期，并促进维生素D的生成。这不仅能改善你的心情，而且长期来看还能提高睡眠质量)”以及后文“If you have health problems or take certain medicine that makes you sensitive to light, ask your doctor first.(如果您有健康问题或者正在服用某些会使您对光线敏感的药物，请先咨询您的医生)”可知，前文讲“晨晒15分钟的益处”，后文提到“有健康问题或服药者需先咨询医生”，前后为转折关系，D项“虽有好处，但也需谨慎”起到过渡作用。故选D。 (5)题解析： 根据后文“Just remember to take small steps, be mindful, and enjoy the natural world around you. By making nature a part of your daily life, you can feel more relaxed, healthy, and happy — just as nature intended.(只需记住要一步步来，保持专注，并享受你周围的大自然。将大自然融入你的日常生活之中，你就能感到更加放松、健康和快乐——正如大自然原本所期望的那样)”可知，该空为总结句，需概括全文。前文介绍了四种自然疗愈方法，后文强调“从小步骤开始，让自然成为日常生活的一部分”，E项“总之，这些简单的方法能帮助你养成亲近自然的习惯”，既总结了前文的“方法”，又呼应后文的“日常习惯”，起到收尾作用。故选E。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·湖北楚天协作体·期中）How to protect your eyesight We watch our salt and fat intake to protect our hearts.

Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 2 Especially not if they’re upset at you. Maintain a peaceful tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience:you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 3 Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it. 4 Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues. Say it like that, and you’ll be sure to impress them with how well-rounded and balanced your argument is. 5 Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires. Having a good understanding of what you’ll be asking your parents about will help you present your case successfully; by knowing your topic inside and out, you’ll have confident answers for their many many questions. A. You should try to keep your head all the way. B. Don’t bring it up when they’re not in a good mood. C. Do background research on the thing you want. D. You’d better never force them to give you an answer right away. E. Understand your parents’ current feelings about your requirement. F. It’s good to discuss with your parents about what you need at that time. G. You won’t always be able to persuade your parents to see things your way. 【答案】1. G 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。本文给出了四条建议，来帮助你说服你的父母给你你想要的东西。 (1)题解析： 上文“There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying ‘no’ to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone.(没有什么比父母对你真正想要的东西说不更让人沮丧的了，无论是小狗还是新手机)”说明父母拒绝你想要的东西会令人沮丧，G项（你不会总能说服你的父母按照你的方式看问题）与上文衔接，指出了不一定每次都能成功且引出下文“However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want!(然而，有很多简单的事情你可以做，来帮助你说服你的父母给你你想要的东西！)”，提供了一些说服父母的方法。故选G项。 (2)题解析： 上文“It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired.(当父母中的任何一方看起来有压力、分心或疲惫时，向他们要东西并不是一个好主意)”说明，不要在父母状态不好的时候向他们要东西，B项（当他们心情不好时不要提出来）因为它进一步强调了时机的选择，符合语境。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 下文“Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it.(研究表明，如果谈判以和平和理性的方式进行，谈判会更成功。要有耐心，给他们时间考虑。)”建议和父母谈判时要保持平和与理性，A项（你应该一直试着保持冷静）它强调了保持冷静的重要性，引出了下文。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 上文“Be patient and give them time to think about it.(要有耐心，给他们时间考虑)”说明，要有耐心，不要急着让父母给出答复，D项（你最好不要强迫他们立刻给你答复）强调了不要急于求成，承接上文。故选D项。 (5)题解析： 下文“Before you go to your parents to ask for that new puppy, make sure you know exactly what adopting a pet requires.(在你向父母要那只新小狗之前，确保你确切知道领养宠物需要什么)”强调在提出请求前要做好功课，C项（对你想要的东西进行背景研究）它强调了事前准备的重要性，引出下文。故选C项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北鄂东南联考·期中）While the problem is big, our actions don’t have to be. You don’t need to be a veterinarian (兽医) or a rescuer to make a difference before, during, and after floods. 1 Here are four good ways to help animals during and before climate emergencies. • Conduct safe, responsible rescue. 2 That’s why your animal companions, whether Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, or even chickens, must be part of your disaster plan. Disaster kit? Don’t forget the furry ones. Prepare a go-bag with food, medicine or carrier, and water. Teach your Dog to enter a box, and make sure your Cat is comfortable in a carrier. For farm animals, work with caretakers to practice relocation drills and identify shelters. • 3 You don’t have to be in the flood zone to help. Animal welfare groups across the country rely on donations and volunteers, especially during climate disasters. You can support organizations by donating money, food, or supplies. Even offering social media help or transporting rescued animals to the vet can make a big impact. • Welcome them into your home. Got a dry spot? 4 Even a small dry corner with food and water can mean everything to a homeless Cat or Dog. You can keep rescued animals temporarily (暂时地) while their families recover or shelters look for adopters. Start a group chat in your community to build a network of animal adopters. • Switch to climate-friendly food. 5 Industrial animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution, which are factors that worsen climate change and lead to stronger, more frequent floods. According to a study, not eating meat is the single biggest way you can reduce environmental footprint. For one, less meat means less deforestation for Cattle and dairy, which can help lessen flooding in sensitive areas. A. That’s a lifeline! B. Change that by speaking up. C. Support better disaster planning. D. Floodwaters can rise within minutes. E. Assist local organizations and shelters. F. What’s on your plate affects who ends up underwater G. Everyone can take part in making animal lives matter. 【答案】1. G 2. D 3. E 4. A 5. F 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，介绍了在洪水前后为动物提供帮助的四种具体方法。 (1)题解析： 空前“You don’t need to be a veterinarian or a rescuer to make a difference before, during, and after floods.(你无需成为兽医或是救援人员，也能在洪水来临前、发生时以及过后有所作为。)”说明普通人也可以有所作为，G选项“Everyone can take part in making animal lives matter.(每个人都可以参与到保护动物生命的行动中来。)”说明每个人都可以参与保护动物，承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 (2)题解析： 空后“That’s why your animal companions, whether Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, or even chickens, must be part of your disaster plan.(这就是为什么你的动物同伴，无论是猫、狗、兔子，甚至是鸡，都必须是你灾难计划的一部分。)”说明动物也必须是你灾难计划的一部分，空格处应该解释原因，D选项“Floodwaters can rise within minutes.(洪水可以在几分钟内上涨。)”直接点明洪水的突发性，解释了为何要提前为动物制定灾难计划，形成“原因→结论”的逻辑，符合语境。故选D。 (3)题解析： 空格处是本段的主旨句，空后“You don’t have to be in the flood zone to help. Animal welfare groups across the country rely on donations and volunteers, especially during climate disasters. You can support organizations by donating money, food, or supplies. Even offering social media help or transporting rescued animals to the vet can make a big impact.(你不必身处洪灾区域才能伸出援手。全国各地的动物福利组织都依赖捐赠和志愿者，尤其是在气候灾害期间。你可以通过捐款、捐赠食物或物资来支持这些组织。哪怕只是在社交媒体上提供帮助，或者将获救的动物送往兽医那里，都能产生巨大的影响。)”说明全国的动物福利组织依赖捐赠和志愿者，可通过捐款、捐物、提供社交媒体帮助等支持这些组织，因此本段主要讲的是要协助当地的一些福利机构，E选项“Assist local organizations and shelters.(协助当地组织和避难所。)”概括了本段内容，可作为主旨句。故选E。 (4)题解析： 空后“Even a small dry corner with food and water can mean everything to a homeless Cat or Dog.(即使是一个干燥的小角落，有食物和水，对无家可归的猫或狗来说也意味着一切。)”说明了干燥的小角落很重要，A选项“That’s a lifeline!(这是生命线！)”中的That指代前面的dry spot，说明了干燥角落的重要性，承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 (5)题解析： 空后“Industrial animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution, which are factors that worsen climate change and lead to stronger, more frequent floods. According to a study, not eating meat is the single biggest way you can reduce environmental footprint. For one, less meat means less deforestation for Cattle and dairy, which can help lessen flooding in sensitive areas.(工业化畜牧业是温室气体排放、森林砍伐和水污染的主要源头之一，而这些因素会加剧气候变化，导致洪水愈发猛烈、频发。根据一项研究，不吃肉是个人能够采取的减少环境足迹的最有效方式。一方面，少吃肉意味着因饲养牛羊等牲畜而砍伐的森林会减少，这有助于减轻敏感地区的洪水灾害。)”说明了减少吃肉可以减少洪灾，F选项“What’s on your plate affects who ends up underwater(你盘中的食物，关乎谁最终会被水淹没。)”阐明了食物和洪水的关系，引起下文，符合语境，故选F。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·湖北利川第一中学·期中）While traveling in a group makes a journey fun, it can come with challenges.

Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down. If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent. 2 As soon as the listening starts, concentrate on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall (回想) the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.

However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 3 . Ignore the new words. Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 4 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.

As legendary college football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant said, “It’s not the will to win that matters. 1 ” There were lots of days during my triathlon training when I didn’t necessarily feel like going for a long run or an 80-mile bike ride. 2 In my business, I also showed up daily to do the work, whether that was writing articles, creating content, or building an audience. I made sure that even if I only had 20 minutes to spend on the business each day, I was doing it. 3 When I was a sportsman, I always found myself stuck at some point. As a businessman, I constantly feel the same way. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on courses, certifications and books. I see it as similar to hiring the best trainer, equipment or coach to get me to the next level and to improve my game. The final key is to look at failure as a helpful part of the process. There are going to be tons of missed shots, slow races, and injuries. Athletes understand that all of those are necessary to create wins. 4 You need to be able to learn from setbacks so that you can approach the next opportunity with even greater confidence. All you need to do is reflect and learn from your missteps. 5 A. The same is true in business. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters. D.

They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people. 1 Here are some tips that might help you. Notice Your Surroundings One way to be in the present moment is by noticing your surroundings. How often do you take time out of your day to actually look around and see what’s going on? Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. 2 When you do, it’s easier to be more present in the moment. Be Grateful for What You Have Now 3 If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now. Show Acceptance If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. 4 Sometimes life is going to be different than how you want it to be. Practicing acceptance will help you let go of the things in your life that are out of your control. Find Positive Social Support The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. 5 A. Then open them and really take in where you are. B. You should focus your attention on one thing at a time. C. You cannot control everything that happens around you. D. This is one way to distance yourself from what you are enjoying. E. In turn, this will allow you to focus on what is going on right now. F. Part of living in the present moment is to appreciate what you have now. G. So learning how to live in the moment can greatly improve your well-being. 【答案】1. G 2. A 3. F 4. C 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明活在当下的意义和可行的方法。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future. They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people. (许多人都倾向于活在过去或未来。他们总是想着过去，担心未来，因此很难在此时此刻享受生活中的美好事物。很不幸，你可能就是这些人中的一员。)”可知，本段开头说明没有活在当下给人们带来的危害，然后提到读者也可能是其中一员，说明这种现象的危害。G项“学会活在当下可以极大地提升你的生活幸福感。”可以承接上文。故选G。 (2)题解析： 本段小标题为“Notice Your Surroundings (关注你的周围)”，因此A项与上文衔接自然，表示“现在闭上眼睛，深吸一口气，然后睁开眼睛，认真观察你所处的环境”。A项中的“where you are”与小标题中的“Your Surroundings”相呼应。故选A。 (3)题解析： 本段的小标题为“Be Grateful for What You Have Now (感恩你所拥有的)”可知，本句是对小标题的更详细的解释；且F项中“appreciate”与小标题中的“Be Grateful for”、空后的“you are grateful for”相呼应。故选F。 (4)题解析： 本段小标题为“Show Acceptance (接受现实)”以及空前“If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. (如果你想学会如何活在当下，你需要放下你认为事情应该是什么样子的想法，接受它们的本来面目。)”介绍“接受现实”的方法：通过放弃幻想来接受现实。本空接着解释要放弃幻想的原因：人不可能控制发生在自身周围的一切。C选项“你不能控制发生在你周围的每件事。”符合语境。故选C。 (5)题解析： 本段小标题为“Find Positive Social Support (寻积极正面的社交支持)”以及空前“The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. (你生活中的社会支持也会发挥重要作用。和积极、支持你的人在一起会增加你的积极性和幸福感。)”提到“与积极正面的人交往会增加你自己的正能量和幸福感”，所以此处选E“相应地，这种正能量和幸福感会使你更关注身边正在发生的事情”承接上文。故选E。 Passage 7 （25-26高一上·湖北黄石·期中）How to communicate confidently Speaking is a vital life skill and there are lots of ways to express yourself.

It is easy to think of some advantages to watching things more quickly. It can let you enjoy more content in the same time, or go through the same piece of content several times to get the most out of it. 2 It might free up time for consolidating (巩固) knowledge or doing practice tests. Watching quickly is also a good way of making sure you focus on what you’re up to. 3 It turns out that there are one or two of those as well. Researchers point out that processing (处理) speech information in humans includes three steps of memory: receiving the information, storing it, and later understanding it. During the process, the brain needs time to collect the continuous speech, deal with words in real time and then understand their meanings. People generally speak at a speed of about 150 words per minute, though doubling the speed to 300 or even tripling it to 450 words is still understandable. 4 At higher speaking speed, listeners may get the immediate meaning but store less information over time. Incoming information is stored for a certain time in our memory, waiting to be reorganized and turned into a form that is ready for the long-term memory. Because memory space is limited, if too much information arrives too quickly it can be hard to deal with. 5 A. But what about the disadvantages? B. This leads to brain overload and loss of information. C. For younger people, it might even be the common case. D. This could be especially useful in an educational background. E. Speeding up may save time, but it can weaken deep understanding. F. The question is more about the quality of the memories that we form. G. Fast listening might improve social communication among young people. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. F 5. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章指出很多人（尤其年轻人）习惯加速收听观看在线内容，这能节省时间、提升专注度，在教育场景也有用，但高语速会影响大脑信息存储与深度理解，还可能导致大脑过载、信息丢失。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Many of us have gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds. (我们很多人已经养成了以较快速度收听播客、有声读物以及其他在线内容的习惯。)”以及后文“One survey of students in California, for example, showed that 89% changed the playback speed of online lectures, while there are plenty of articles about how common speedy viewing has become. (例如，对加利福尼亚州学生的一项调查表明，89%的学生会调整在线课程的播放速度，而且关于人们普遍采用快速观看方式这一现象的文章也比比皆是。)”可知，前文提到很多人习惯加速收听观看在线内容，后文用加州学生调查（89% 调整课程播放速度）举例说明这一现象的普遍性。选项C（对年轻人来说，这甚至可能是常态。）衔接前文“普遍习惯”，引出后文学生群体的具体案例，让逻辑更连贯。故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“It is easy to think of some advantages to watching things more quickly. It can let you enjoy more content in the same time, or go through the same piece of content several times to get the most out of it. (很容易就能想到快速观看内容的一些好处。它能让你在相同的时间内欣赏到更多的内容，或者反复观看同一段内容以充分领会其内涵。)”以及后文“It might free up time for consolidating (巩固) knowledge or doing practice tests. Watching quickly is also a good way of making sure you focus on what you’re up to. (这或许能为你腾出时间来巩固知识或者进行模拟测试。快速观看也是一种确保你专注于当前任务的好方法。)”可知，前文列举加速观看的优势（同一时间获取更多内容、反复学习），后文提到“腾出时间巩固知识或做练习题”，指向教育场景。选项D（这在教育背景下可能特别有用。）将前文的优势与后文的教育相关用途结合，精准衔接语义，符合语境。故选D。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“It turns out that there are one or two of those as well. Researchers point out that processing (处理) speech information in humans includes three steps of memory: receiving the information, storing it, and later understanding it. During the process, the brain needs time to collect the continuous speech, deal with words in real time and then understand their meanings. (结果发现，实际上也有这样的情况。研究人员指出，人类处理语音信息的过程包含三个记忆步骤：接收信息、存储信息以及之后理解信息。在这个过程中，大脑需要时间来收集连续的语音内容、实时处理单词，并最终理解其含义。)”可知，前文全是加速观看的好处，后文转而讨论大脑处理语言信息的步骤，暗示存在弊端。选项A（但缺点呢？）以转折问句引出下文对劣势的分析，起到承上启下的关键作用。故选A。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“People generally speak at a speed of about 150 words per minute, though doubling the speed to 300 or even tripling it to 450 words is still understandable. (人们通常的说话速度约为每分钟150个单词，即便将速度提高到300个或甚至更高达到450个单词每分钟，也是可以理解的。)”以及后文“At higher speaking speed, listeners may get the immediate meaning but store less information over time .(在语速较快的情况下，听众可能会较快理解其意思，但随着时间的推移，他们所记住的信息会相对较少。)”可知，前文说加速到 300-450词/分钟仍可理解，后文强调“高语速下长期记忆存储的信息更少”，核心聚焦“记忆质量”。选项 F（问题更多在于我们形成的记忆质量。）衔接前文“可理解”与后文 “记忆存储不足”，点明讨论重点的转变。故选F。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Incoming information is stored for a certain time in our memory, waiting to be reorganized and turned into a form that is ready for the long-term memory. Because memory space is limited, if too much information arrives too quickly it can be hard to deal with. (新接收的信息会在我们的记忆中保存一段时间，等待被重新整理并转化为适合长期记忆的形式。由于记忆空间有限，如果信息来得太快且太多，就可能会难以处理。)”可知，前文解释记忆空间有限，过快涌入的信息难以处理。选项B（这会导致大脑过载和信息丢失。）是前文“信息过量过快”的直接结果，总结前文逻辑，让论证闭环。故选B。 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·湖北武汉中学·期中）Effective Study Habits Developing good study habits is crucial for academic success, yet many students struggle with inefficient methods. Simply spending long hours reviewing materials doesn’t guarantee results. 1 The key lies in working smarter, not harder. Here are some practical strategies to improve your learning efficiency. Begin by creating a structured study plan. 2 Break large tasks into smaller, manageable parts and assign specific time blocks for each. Include clear objectives like “complete 10 practice questions” rather than vague goals like “study chemistry.” For example, dedicate 25 minutes to math problems followed by a 5-minute break. This approach, known as the Pomodoro Technique (番茄工作法), helps maintain focus while preventing burnout. Your study environment matters more than you might think. 3 Turn off phone notifications, use noise-canceling headphones if needed, and keep your desk tidy. Ensure adequate lighting and a comfortable chair to avoid body discomfort. Research shows that regularly studying in the same place helps your brain enter “focus mode” faster. Many students make the mistake of passive reading. Instead, actively engage with the material. 4 Try summarizing concepts in your own words, teaching the content to a friend, or creating flashcards for self-testing. Studies indicate that group discussions improve understanding of ideas by up to 60% compared to studying alone. These methods help you remember information far better than simply marking important parts in books. Finally, prioritize quality sleep and regular breaks. 5 Studies show that information gets strengthened during rest periods. Take short walks or move your body during breaks to improve blood flow. Remember, effective learning isn’t about marathon sessions — it’s about consistent, mindful practice combined with proper recovery. A. Establish clear priorities and deadlines. B. Choose a quiet space with minimal distractions. C. What truly matters is how you use your study time. D. Switch subjects daily to maintain mental freshness. E. Explain complex theories aloud as if tutoring someone. F. Use apps to completely block social media during sessions. G. Staying up all night to study might seem productive, but it rarely works. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. E 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有效学习的重要性，并从制定学习计划、选择学习环境、积极学习、保证睡眠和休息等方面给出了提高学习效率的实用策略。 (1)题解析： 上文“Simply spending long hours reviewing materials doesn’t guarantee results.

(像给别人辅导一样大声解释复杂的理论)”是积极学习的具体方式，与后文“Try summarizing concepts in your own words, teaching the content to a friend, or creating flashcards for self-testing. (试着用自己的话总结概念，把内容教给朋友，或者制作抽认卡进行自我测试)”都属于积极学习的方法。故选E项。 (5)题解析： 上文“Finally, prioritize quality sleep and regular breaks. (最后，要优先保证高质量的睡眠和定期休息)”强调了睡眠和休息的重要性，G选项“Staying up all night to study might seem productive, but it rarely works. (通宵学习可能看起来很有成效，但很少有效果)”从反面说明了不保证睡眠和休息不利于学习，与上文强调的内容相呼应。故选G项。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北武汉东湖高新区·期中）When talking about long-serving workers at Indiana University, one name stands out — Janet Tapp. 1 On October 21, 2024, she celebrated 60 years of working at the university.

These tiny biters aren’t just annoying; they can also spread dangerous diseases like malaria and dengue. 1 A popular belief is that mosquitoes might target you because they like your blood type. Some studies say mosquitoes prefer people with type O blood. In one study, 83.3% of mosquitoes chose type O, while only 46.5% preferred type A. But experts say more research is needed to find out how true this is. Another thing that makes you a mosquito magnet is the air you breathe out. Mosquitoes can smell CO2 in it. They can sense it from about 50 meters away. 2 3 Mosquitoes are visual hunters. But they see dark colors like black and navy more easily than light colors. Studies have found that mosquitoes are most attracted to black. Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain body smells. 4 Genes and exercise can affect how much acid the body gives off. Mosquitoes are so sensitive to this smell that even perfumes (香水) can’t hide it. So, how do we stay safe? Wear light-colored clothes, especially outside. Use bug spray, especially after sweating. 5 With these simple tips, we can enjoy summer with fewer bites and more smiles. A. Your clothing color matters, too. B. They love the smell of acids on our skin. C. But do you know that mosquitoes have their favorites among us? D. They are attracted to the smell of sweat (汗水) produced by physical activity. E. People who breathe harder after exercise are easier targets for mosquitoes. F. But do you know mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk in summer? G. And try not to exercise outdoors in the early evening when mosquitoes usually come out. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. A 4. B 5.

Mosquitoes can smell CO₂ in it. They can sense it from about 50 meters away.(另一个让你成为蚊子“磁铁”的原因是你呼出的空气。蚊子能闻到其中的二氧化碳，且能在约50米外感知到。)”可知，空格处需说明“呼出更多二氧化碳的人更易招蚊子”。E项“People who breathe harder after exercise are easier targets for mosquitoes.(运动后呼吸更急促的人更容易成为蚊子的目标。)”符合语境，“breathe harder”对应上文“breathe out”和“smell CO₂”，解释了“呼吸急促者招蚊子”的原因，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 (3)题解析： 由下文“Mosquitoes are visual hunters. But they see dark colors like black and navy more easily than light colors. Studies have found that mosquitoes are most attracted to black.(蚊子是视觉型捕猎者。但它们更容易看到黑色、藏青色等深色，而非浅色。研究发现，蚊子最容易被黑色吸引。)”可知，本段围绕“衣服颜色对蚊子的影响”展开，空格处需作为主题句点明核心。A项“Your clothing color matters, too.(你的衣服颜色也很重要。)”符合语境，“clothing color”呼应下文“dark colors”、“light colors”和“black”，“too”承接前文 “血型、呼出空气”等招蚊子的原因，准确作为段落主题。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 由上文“Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain body smells.(蚊子也会被特定的体味吸引。)”和下文“Genes and exercise can affect how much acid the body gives off. Mosquitoes are so sensitive to this smell that even perfumes can’t hide it.(基因和运动会影响身体分泌的酸量。蚊子对这种气味非常敏感，即使是香水也无法掩盖。)”可知，空格处需说明“蚊子被哪种体味吸引”。B项“They love the smell of acids on our skin.(它们喜欢我们皮肤上酸性物质的气味。)”符合语境，“smell of acids”呼应下文“how much acid the body gives off”和“sensitive to this smell”，解释了“蚊子被特定体味吸引”的具体所指，衔接自然。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 由上文“So, how do we stay safe? Wear light-colored clothes, especially outside. Use bug spray, especially after sweating.(那么，我们该如何安全防蚊？穿浅色衣服，尤其是在户外。使用驱虫喷雾，出汗后尤其要喷。)”可知，空格处需补充另一项防蚊建议。G项“And try not to exercise outdoors in the early evening when mosquitoes usually come out.(并且尽量不要在傍晚蚊子通常出没时在户外运动。)”符合语境，“try not to exercise outdoors in the early evening”是防蚊建议，与前文“穿浅色衣服、用驱虫喷雾”并列，“when mosquitoes usually come out”解释了“此时不户外运动”的原因，逻辑清晰。故选G项。 / 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高一上·湖北十堰八校教联体学校·期中）Many senior high students share the same goal: improving their English language skills. 1 Here’s a step-by-step approach (方法) that works for everyone.

We apply sunscreen to protect our skin. But what can we do to protect our eyes, all year round? A lot. 1 . Eat For Your Eyesight Research shows that foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc... and omega-3 fatty acids are connected with lower risk for age related eye diseases and maybe even dry eyes. 2 Therefore, you should include some fish, dark leafy greens, strawberries, tomatoes, peanuts, sunflower seeds as well as beef, oysters and so on in your diets, which will do good to your eyes. 3 “Protecting the eyes from ultraviolet light — sunlight — is very important,” says Dr Esen Akpek, a professor who researches into eyes at Johns Hopkins University in the United States. “It’s one of the biggest things in our environment to have an influence on the eyes. Ultraviolet light has been shown to have an effect on some eye diseases, which may lead to the gradual loss of eyesight.” To protect your eyes, wearing quality sunglasses is necessary. Take a Break From Screens According to a 2022 review article published in the magazine Heliyon, there’s no scientific evidence that the light from electronic screens damages eyes. 4 Experts suggest following the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a break and look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 5 Not all eye problems are noticeable, and all are best treated when found early. For most people, that means having your eyes tested every one to two years. A. Wear Quality Sunglasses B.

Pick the right time to approach the subject. Usually, family dinner time is a safe bet. It is not a good idea to ask for something when either parent seems stressed, distracted, or tired. 2 Especially not if they’re upset at you. Maintain a peaceful tone during the talk. Asking for something can be an emotional experience:you might feel passionate about the thing you’re asking for, and you might feel angry or frustrated if your parents say no. 3 Studies show negotiation is more successful if it’s done peacefully and rationally. Be patient and give them time to think about it. 4 Tell them to get back to you in a couple hours or days with any questions or concerns they have. Let them know that you want to discuss this as mature, responsible adults and you are willing to work through any potential issues.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北鄂东南联考·期中）While the problem is big, our actions don’t have to be. You don’t need to be a veterinarian (兽医) or a rescuer to make a difference before, during, and after floods. 1 Here are four good ways to help animals during and before climate emergencies. • Conduct safe, responsible rescue. 2 That’s why your animal companions, whether Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, or even chickens, must be part of your disaster plan. Disaster kit? Don’t forget the furry ones. Prepare a go-bag with food, medicine or carrier, and water. Teach your Dog to enter a box, and make sure your Cat is comfortable in a carrier. For farm animals, work with caretakers to practice relocation drills and identify shelters. • 3 You don’t have to be in the flood zone to help. Animal welfare groups across the country rely on donations and volunteers, especially during climate disasters. You can support organizations by donating money, food, or supplies. Even offering social media help or transporting rescued animals to the vet can make a big impact. • Welcome them into your home. Got a dry spot? 4 Even a small dry corner with food and water can mean everything to a homeless Cat or Dog. You can keep rescued animals temporarily (暂时地) while their families recover or shelters look for adopters. Start a group chat in your community to build a network of animal adopters. • Switch to climate-friendly food. 5 Industrial animal agriculture is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution, which are factors that worsen climate change and lead to stronger, more frequent floods. According to a study, not eating meat is the single biggest way you can reduce environmental footprint. For one, less meat means less deforestation for Cattle and dairy, which can help lessen flooding in sensitive areas. A. That’s a lifeline! B. Change that by speaking up. C. Support better disaster planning. D. Floodwaters can rise within minutes. E. Assist local organizations and shelters. F. What’s on your plate affects who ends up underwater G.

Here are some tips for making group travel as smooth as possible. 2 If you’re in charge of planning the itinerary, avoid arranging too many activities in one day and set aside time for relaxation. For example, one day, you might book an adventurous trip, like hiking to ancient ruins, and plan to relax on the beach the next day. This way, you can avoid stress and keep the group energized. Keep in contact. Ensure everyone in your group has a way to communicate with each other. 3 You might exchange phone numbers, set up a group text or print a list of contact information. Embrace new experiences. If someone in your group suggests trying something you never considered before, whether it’s sampling frog porridge in Singapore or riding an all-terrain vehicle (全地形车) in Mexico, be open to the new idea. 4 Be patient. 5 For example, you may have to wait for someone in the morning before setting out or stick around a souvenir shop until a friend finishes browsing. Before you begin your trip, set realistic expectations and get into a flexible mindset. If you can go with the flow during your group trip, you’ll be more likely to have a relaxing experience. A. Decide on activities. B. Create a balanced itinerary. C. Thus, you might discover something new about yourself. D. Besides, you may be around people with different preferences. E.

Passage 4 （25-26高一上·湖北十堰普通高中区县联合体·期中）The suggestions about listening in English exams In our daily communication, English is playing an important part in our communication. It includes many aspects, of which listening is a primary skill. It is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. How to improve your listening? 1 Relax yourself. Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. If you feel nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm yourself down. If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent. 2 As soon as the listening starts, concentrate on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall (回想) the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding. Grasp the main idea. Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 3 . Ignore the new words. Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 4 It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening. Develop the habit of taking notes. In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 5 By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points. A. Focus on listening. B. The more words you memorize, the better it is. C. Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary. D. What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words. E.

The answer is that my background as a triathlete (铁人三项运动员) has been one of my biggest advantages. As legendary college football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant said, “It’s not the will to win that matters. 1 ” There were lots of days during my triathlon training when I didn’t necessarily feel like going for a long run or an 80-mile bike ride. 2 In my business, I also showed up daily to do the work, whether that was writing articles, creating content, or building an audience. I made sure that even if I only had 20 minutes to spend on the business each day, I was doing it. 3 When I was a sportsman, I always found myself stuck at some point. As a businessman, I constantly feel the same way. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on courses, certifications and books. I see it as similar to hiring the best trainer, equipment or coach to get me to the next level and to improve my game. The final key is to look at failure as a helpful part of the process. There are going to be tons of missed shots, slow races, and injuries. Athletes understand that all of those are necessary to create wins. 4 You need to be able to learn from setbacks so that you can approach the next opportunity with even greater confidence.

You might unfortunately be one of these people. 1 Here are some tips that might help you. Notice Your Surroundings One way to be in the present moment is by noticing your surroundings. How often do you take time out of your day to actually look around and see what’s going on? Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. 2 When you do, it’s easier to be more present in the moment. Be Grateful for What You Have Now 3 If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now. Show Acceptance If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. 4 Sometimes life is going to be different than how you want it to be. Practicing acceptance will help you let go of the things in your life that are out of your control. Find Positive Social Support The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. 5 A. Then open them and really take in where you are. B. You should focus your attention on one thing at a time. C. You cannot control everything that happens around you. D. This is one way to distance yourself from what you are enjoying. E.

Pay attention to how people speak in different settings and the language-based tools they use to make their points effectively. 3 Over time, you’ll develop a list of useful keywords and phrases for inspiration. 4 This is how you develop ideas through spoken communication. When in a conversation, use sentence starters to contribute confidently. If you agree with what someone else, try saying: “To build on what you said there, I think...”. If you disagree, try saying, “I’d like to challenge that...”. If you aren’t sure what they mean: “Can I just explain what you meant by...?” If you want to find out more about their idea: “Would you mind giving a bit more detail about what you just said?” 5 A.

Passage 9 （25-26高一上·湖北荆州中学·期中）Many of us have gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds. 1 One survey of students in California, for example, showed that 89% changed the playback speed of online lectures, while there are plenty of articles about how common speedy viewing has become. It is easy to think of some advantages to watching things more quickly. It can let you enjoy more content in the same time, or go through the same piece of content several times to get the most out of it. 2 It might free up time for consolidating (巩固) knowledge or doing practice tests. Watching quickly is also a good way of making sure you focus on what you’re up to. 3 It turns out that there are one or two of those as well. Researchers point out that processing (处理) speech information in humans includes three steps of memory: receiving the information, storing it, and later understanding it. During the process, the brain needs time to collect the continuous speech, deal with words in real time and then understand their meanings. People generally speak at a speed of about 150 words per minute, though doubling the speed to 300 or even tripling it to 450 words is still understandable. 4 At higher speaking speed, listeners may get the immediate meaning but store less information over time. Incoming information is stored for a certain time in our memory, waiting to be reorganized and turned into a form that is ready for the long-term memory. Because memory space is limited, if too much information arrives too quickly it can be hard to deal with. 5 A. But what about the disadvantages? B. This leads to brain overload and loss of information. C. For younger people, it might even be the common case. D. This could be especially useful in an educational background. E. Speeding up may save time, but it can weaken deep understanding. F. The question is more about the quality of the memories that we form. G. Fast listening might improve social communication among young people. Passage 1 （25-26高一上·湖北武汉中学·期中）Effective Study Habits Developing good study habits is crucial for academic success, yet many students struggle with inefficient methods. Simply spending long hours reviewing materials doesn’t guarantee results. 1 The key lies in working smarter, not harder. Here are some practical strategies to improve your learning efficiency. Begin by creating a structured study plan. 2 Break large tasks into smaller, manageable parts and assign specific time blocks for each. Include clear objectives like “complete 10 practice questions” rather than vague goals like “study chemistry.” For example, dedicate 25 minutes to math problems followed by a 5-minute break. This approach, known as the Pomodoro Technique (番茄工作法), helps maintain focus while preventing burnout. Your study environment matters more than you might think. 3 Turn off phone notifications, use noise-canceling headphones if needed, and keep your desk tidy. Ensure adequate lighting and a comfortable chair to avoid body discomfort. Research shows that regularly studying in the same place helps your brain enter “focus mode” faster. Many students make the mistake of passive reading. Instead, actively engage with the material. 4 Try summarizing concepts in your own words, teaching the content to a friend, or creating flashcards for self-testing. Studies indicate that group discussions improve understanding of ideas by up to 60% compared to studying alone. These methods help you remember information far better than simply marking important parts in books. Finally, prioritize quality sleep and regular breaks. 5 Studies show that information gets strengthened during rest periods. Take short walks or move your body during breaks to improve blood flow. Remember, effective learning isn’t about marathon sessions — it’s about consistent, mindful practice combined with proper recovery. A. Establish clear priorities and deadlines. B. Choose a quiet space with minimal distractions. C. What truly matters is how you use your study time. D. Switch subjects daily to maintain mental freshness. E. Explain complex theories aloud as if tutoring someone. F. Use apps to completely block social media during sessions. G. Staying up all night to study might seem productive, but it rarely works. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·湖北武汉东湖高新区·期中）When talking about long-serving workers at Indiana University, one name stands out — Janet Tapp. 1 On October 21, 2024, she celebrated 60 years of working at the university. Tapp’s IU journey started in 1964. The assistant housing manager of Wright Quadrangle offered her a part-time job in the dormitory’s office. 2 Back then, she earned just 14 today, and IU’s tuition was only $11 per credit hour. Though Tapp has held seven different jobs at IU over the years, she never applied for any of them. 3 For example, when a bookkeeper developed Parkinson’s disease and took a break, Tapp stepped in temporarily (临时地). Her passion and skill led her to a permanent role in the payroll department after another worker retired. “Those first three months were tough — I cried almost every night learning all the policies,” Tapp recalled. 4 Beyond payroll, she also led campus events like the IU Fun Frolic, an activity that raised money for charity for over 50 years. Tapp’s dedication has made her a beloved figure on campus. 5 “I never saw work as a burden; my colleagues are family,” she said. After six decades, she still finds joy in her work and has no plans to stop. A. All her positions came from being asked by leaders. B. She once considered leaving IU and finding a job with higher pay. C. She is one of the longest-serving workers in the university’s history. D. But once she mastered the work, she found great satisfaction in it. E. She grew up in Bloomington where her parents ran a restaurant. F. She quickly proved herself and was promoted to full-time the next year. G. Her office desk always has candy for colleagues, earning her the nickname “Mom”. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·湖北十堰郧阳中学·期中）Have you ever found yourself holding onto everyday junk (废旧物) like a movie ticket or a clothing bag, unsure whether to throw it away? 1 Actually, you may consider keeping a junk journal (日志). It has grown in popularity on main social media platforms. By collecting what many people see as junk, junk journaling benefits (有利于) the environment while uplifting your mind. Many fans of junk journaling are drawn to its special benefits. First of all, the hobby is easy to pick up. You don’t need any artistic skill to begin — just some basic tools and common waste. Second, you’re helping the planet by repurposing (重新利用) things that might otherwise end up in the rubbish bin. 2 What goes into a junk journal? Almost anything. From old newspapers and magazines to postcards and handwritten notes, the list is endless. 3 For example, even packaging bags and dried flowers may add a different feel and attractiveness. That’s what makes junk journaling so interesting and personal. To get started, choose a notebook or even an old book as your base. 4 Play with the placement, try different styles, and consider adding some writing or drawings. The goal is not perfection but personal expression. 5 Some people treat it as a diary, while others create art pictures or memory books. It might serve as a place to record thankfulness, tell personal stories, or picture future dreams. The key is to reflect your experiences and imagination. A. There’s no single way to use a junk journal. B. Why not turn it into something meaningful? C. How can we make it look more attractive? D. This encourages a green lifestyle and creativity. E. So it can be part of a story that only you can tell. F. Everyday waste can be great journaling materials. G. Then, begin organizing your pages in creative ways. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·湖北来凤县第一中学·期中）Buzz, buzz...Summer is the season of ice cream, beach trips and…mosquito (蚊子) bites! These tiny biters aren’t just annoying; they can also spread dangerous diseases like malaria and dengue. 1 A popular belief is that mosquitoes might target you because they like your blood type. Some studies say mosquitoes prefer people with type O blood. In one study, 83.3% of mosquitoes chose type O, while only 46.5% preferred type A. But experts say more research is needed to find out how true this is. Another thing that makes you a mosquito magnet is the air you breathe out. Mosquitoes can smell CO2 in it. They can sense it from about 50 meters away. 2 3 Mosquitoes are visual hunters. But they see dark colors like black and navy more easily than light colors. Studies have found that mosquitoes are most attracted to black. Mosquitoes are also drawn to certain body smells. 4 Genes and exercise can affect how much acid the body gives off. Mosquitoes are so sensitive to this smell that even perfumes (香水) can’t hide it. So, how do we stay safe? Wear light-colored clothes, especially outside. Use bug spray, especially after sweating. 5 With these simple tips, we can enjoy summer with fewer bites and more smiles. A. Your clothing color matters, too. B. They love the smell of acids on our skin. C. But do you know that mosquitoes have their favorites among us? D. They are attracted to the smell of sweat (汗水) produced by physical activity. E. People who breathe harder after exercise are easier targets for mosquitoes. F. But do you know mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk in summer? G. And try not to exercise outdoors in the early evening when mosquitoes usually come out. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
