Passage 2
(25-26高一上·四川成都树德中学·期中)In the age of rich information, we might assume (假定) we are exposed to a wider range of ideas than ever before. Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. We are increasingly likely to be trapped in “information cocoons (茧房)”. 1 .
These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms (算法). Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches. 2 Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints.
The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society. 3 It limits our critical thinking and our ability to understand perspectives different from our own. On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible. 4
Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort. 5 Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world.
A. Experts suggest that we should completely give up social media.
B. The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us.
C. For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview.
D. It is a comfortable space where our opinions are constantly ignored.
E. Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive.
F. This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user.
G. This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·四川眉山中学·期中)About a decade ago, the term “social media” was unfamiliar to many. Today, however, it has become one of our most important tools for staying connected. Social media hasn’t just created new ways for us to communicate — it has actually changed how people all over the world see and experience communication itself. 1
The clearest advantage of social media is that it has greatly increased the speed of communication. One major weakness of traditional communication systems was that they were too slow. 2 Now, messages can be delivered within seconds, and news can spread to a large number of people in the blink of an eye.
3 Many artists are gaining popularity with the use of social media. Talented individuals from rural and remote areas can now also gain public attention via social networks.
Now let’s consider the other side of it. Communication was the main purpose of the invention of social media. This purpose seems to be fulfilled from outside. 4 One major issue is the rapid spread of false news, which is becoming more common every day.
In today’s digital age, both online and offline conversations are dominated by social media interactions. With easy person-to-person access by using social media, people are becoming lazy. 5
With the increasing globalization, social media has become impossible to ignore. If used within limits, it can truly be beneficial to society. Regulations on the use of social media can lead us towards much faster and more reliable communication.
A. But communication is absolutely realistic.
B. Social media appears to solve this problem.
C. Like everything else, social media also has two sides.
D. Social media also allows us to see what life is really like.
E. As a result, many are losing interest in face-to-face meetings.
F. However, the true nature of communication appears to be fading.
G. Various applications provide a platform for people to show talents.

Get a workout. 4 I am sure you have heard this many times, but exercise can really benefit your body, mind, and build your self-confidence to help you keep a healthy lifestyle.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·四川绵竹中学-上·期中)Benefits of Owning a Dog
There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friends. A good friend is faithful, will be there to pick you up when you’re down, will keep you on track to reach your goals, and will just be there for you as company. 1 The mental, physical and social benefits of caring for a dog — or any other pet, for that matter — are in large numbers. Here are all the reasons your life will improve with a dog:
Owning a dog keeps you active.
2 As a result, dog owners are often inspired toward an active lifestyle to satisfy their dog’s needs. Research conducted by the American Heart Association showed that dog owners were 54 percent more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise than non-dog owners.
3
Owning a dog has many heart-healthy benefits, such as a decrease in blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease. One study showed that non-dog owners who had survived a heart attack were more likely to die within a year than dog owners.
You will feel calmer if you own a dog.
Dogs provide a calming and familiar presence. 4 One study showed that Alzheimer’s patients who owned dogs had fewer anxiety-induced exacerbations (加重) than Alzheimer’s patients without dogs.
Dog owners can promote their communication with others.
Dogs provide a natural connection with other people and are great conversation starters. Common questions and comments from dog lovers and owners include: “What breed (品种) are they?”, “How long have you had them?” and “They’re so cute!” 5
A. Keeping a dog makes you live longer.
B. That decreases stress and anxiety levels.
C. Owning a dog provides safety and peace of mind.
D. And that’s exactly what a dog can do for its owner.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·四川南充高中学·期中)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s natural for people to compare themselves with their peers (同龄人). Peer pressure is a problem that nearly everyone has faced at some point. If it’s not well handled, there might be some harmful results. 1 Below are tips on how to deal with peer pressure and avoid making difficult decisions that may cause unpleasant outcomes.
Find positive influence
At any age, it’s beneficial to stay involved with after-school activities like sports, music, art, or other hobbies. Team building activities can help increase self-confidence and create a support system that allows an individual to succeed. What’s more, enjoying hobbies and other harmless spare-time activities like exercising can release feel-good hormones (激素). 2
Plan ahead
Experiencing peer pressure, especially when in an unfriendly environment, can cause a person to panic and make impulsive decisions. 3 Think of different situations that start discomfort and think about how to deal with peer pressure. It’s OK to give excuses to avoid making decisions that you may feel are not right for you.
4
Positive influences, usually parents or family members, can teach you how to deal with peer pressure directly. Having a trusted friend, family member, or another resource to call on can relieve some of the everyday life stresses. They can be there to give advice or just support the decisions you’ve made that you feel are right for you.
Convey feelings and emotions

B. Don’t be afraid to find new groups.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·四川内江第六中学·期中)Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. Why is family important? What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family matters:
Families set the stage for future relationships.
The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 . It’s often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family.
2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on.
When life gets hard, people need support. 2 . Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love.
3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance.
Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 . Of course, there are other things at play (起作用), but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications.
4. 4 .
Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. It’s parents’ responsibility to guide their children and provide life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 .
A. Families teach important life lessons.
B. This can be emotional or financial support.
C. When families are strong, communications are strong.
D. Family relationships are connected to a person’s health.
E. These lessons form a big part of a person’s worldview.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·四川成都列五中学·期中)“It’s helpful for teenagers to be involved (参与) in sports,” says Gary Malone, the author of What’s Wrong With My Family? 1 Actually, sports are a part of a teenager’s life, along with studies, friends and family. Here’s how parents can encourage teens to stay in the game.
· 2 Enjoyment is reason enough, but if you’re depending on glory (荣誉) from your teenager’s athletic journey, face facts. Only three percent of high school athletes go on to play in college. And less than one percent of college athletes go on to play professional sports.
·It’s not about you. When our teenagers are excellent, we feel proud. But, putting too much time or effort into how well our teenagers do in sports is no good. What is important here, say the experts, is that your teenager owns his or her sport’s experience. 3
·Don’t be “that” parent. One way to make sports about our teenagers is to pay attention to how we act at events. Actually, if you talk to teenagers about parents’ behavior on the sports field, you’ll get a lot of dissatisfactions. 4 Thompson, Executive Director of Positive Coaching Alliance, advises “no-direction” cheering during events. “We think parents should cheer, but it should be positive.” Thompson says. “You can say, ‘Hey, good kick.’ But you shouldn’t say, ‘Hey, kick it to Julie.’”
·Value positive coaching. What is positive coaching? 5 It’s also about showing respect (尊重) for the game. If a coach who wins a lot of games and even wins the championship, but his players don’t want to play for him anymore, so he drops out. Then he is a failure as a coach, no matter how many games he wins.
A. Consider why your teenager plays sports.
B. How should parents act during a game?
C. But the correct word here is “involved”.
D. So how can your teenagers follow these rules?
E. Let the coach control decisions and let the players focus on winning.
F. In other words, it’s not about you, especially not about your past sports glories or failures.
G. It’s about coaching for helping players master skills and for filling their needs for feelings.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·四川泸州泸县第五中学·期中)One day, while my friend and I were traveling through Germany, we were very hungry but we didn’t have a lot of money. 1 I chose some cookies and went to the front counter to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged cookies in a large box. 2 I decided to take them instead so that we could save money.
3 We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great. “Let’s get these again,” I said. “ 4 ”
My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand name. 5

Passage 6
(25-26高一上·四川南充西充中学·期中)Do you want to learn how to speak English well? Read on for some suggestions that will help you speak English more fluently (流利地), in less time.
Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions.
Sometimes, you can find patterns (模式) in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. For example, why is “mice” the plural (复数) of “mouse,” but “houses” is the plural of “house”? 1 The best thing to do is just remember the strange exceptions and move on.
Focus on whole phrases (短语) instead of single words.
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts, feelings and ideas. 2 You’ll find that English is more useful in your everyday life if you study whole phrases, rather than just vocabulary and verbs.
Learn some English slang (俚语).
It can be helpful to know English slang words and phrases so that you can “stay modern” and understand modern English speech. 3 Knowing slang can improve real English fluency because it can let you follow along with the kinds of conversations that happen today.
4 Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English. This also means you need to start thinking in English. If you want to say the word “apple” in English, for example, you probably think of the word in your native language first, and then try to think of the correct word in English. 5
A. Pay attention to the sounds native speakers use.
B. Think directly in English instead of translating.
C. Slang is always present, so you can’t avoid seeing it.
D. Unluckily, there are many exceptions to English rules.
E. To avoid the same mistakes, you must learn from them.
F. Your goal is to speak English in full sentences, so learn it in full sentences.
G. Instead, try imagining a picture of an apple, and then think of the word “apple.”
Passage 7
(25-26高一上·四川遂宁中学·期中)It’s natural to experience school-related stress. But school stress is also something you can successfully manage. This article lists several strategies for coping with school stress. So, instead of letting school stress control you, take charge of your stress and enjoy your school experience!
Get to know your stress response.
You can react to stress faster when you know it’s coming on. Each person responds to stressful situations differently. Your shoulders might tighten, and your body might start shaking. Listen to your body so you know when stress is coming on. 1
Identify your school stress triggers (触发因素).
It’s hard to manage stress when you don’t know what’s causing it. 2 Is it too much homework, worries about grades, peer pressure, bullying, some combination of these? Once you’ve identified the triggers, you can come up with targeted stress-management solutions.
Replace negativity with positive self-talk.
3 It may feel a little silly at first, but repeating positive affirmations (肯定) can really give you a boost and help bring stress under control. Speak quietly to yourself if you can, or just do your self-talk in your head. Use short, focused, and relevant affirmations like “I will give my best effort on this test” and “I am a good person just the way I am”.
4
Good time management and good stress management are connected. 5 Instead, plan out your time to help prevent your homework from piling up. Stick to a daily schedule to keep things manageable so you’re never left with a tower of work to conquer by tomorrow.
A. Manage your homework.
B. Make a schoolwork schedule.
C. So it is important to deal with your stress in school.

For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special. These are places we visit to recharge, or to fill our hearts with natural beauty. 1 If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.
Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it, with no evidence that you passed through. 2 That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.
You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways. Begin by packing out all your litter. Whenever you go camping, take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag. In addition, try not to damage vegetation. 3 Wherever you go, think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum.
It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape. 4 Plus, many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads, and these are things they would miss if you collected them.
Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful. It’s about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it. If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step. 5

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·四川成都第七中学·期中)Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. 1 The answer is clear. History is essential in human civilization. Learning history helps you learn its significance.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. 2 Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is about studying your roots and being open-minded to the today’s evolution.
3 Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. Experts argue that problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (共情的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. 4 History can break down those boundaries.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens horizons. It’s impossible to learn about one historical period without knowing related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. 5 Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from his novels, and discover the history of England.
A. History enriches our experience.
B. History helps us know ancestors.
C. We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand.
D. And it also leads to how we got to where we are today.
E. If you’re studying history, ask yourself “why is history important”.
F. This book is so attractive that it enjoys popularity in the past and present.
G. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.
Passage 5
(25-26·四川成都外国语学校·期中)How can you use curiosity to enjoy your studies more and improve your results? Below are some hints of how you can awaken your curiosity.
Listen to yourself when you ask questions
1 and your mind starts to question, don’t ignore it. If you can’t explore the answer right then, make a note to find out later. Questioning, exploring and investigating are good! It shows that you have an active and interested mind. Reward yourself by finding out the answer. The more you know about what you are studying, the better you will understand it.
Ask quality questions
Ask good questions such as “why” “what if” and “how”. The better the questions you ask, the more interesting answers you will find. 2 .
Play around with new things and ideas
Learn to play with and think about your ideas, your feelings and new materials and objects. “What can you do with these ideas, feelings and things? Maybe they could be used in an essay, article, poem or science experiment, or could be a gift or favour for someone else.
3 . Just because adults teach you, it does not mean that they know everything or the best way to do things. Young people are the future. Don’t be scared to put your ideas forward!
Work with new people in class
Don’t always join the same friends for group projects in class. 4 . Where possible, choose to work with students who enjoy asking questions and finding out new things, or students who have a lively, curious mind.
5 , and how it might relate to classwork
Have you heard something interesting in the news—a social problem or new technology that interests you? Find out more about it. Then remember if you have studied anything about that subject.
A. Something magical happens
B. Different people work differently
C. Keep an ear open for current events
D. If you can apply curiosity to your study
E. When you are reading or studying something
F. Always be prepared to think about things in new ways
G. All of this will contribute to your classroom learning

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·四川成都树德中学·期中)In the age of rich information, we might assume (假定) we are exposed to a wider range of ideas than ever before. Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. We are increasingly likely to be trapped in “information cocoons (茧房)”. 1 .
These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms (算法). Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches. 2 Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints.
The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society. 3 It limits our critical thinking and our ability to understand perspectives different from our own. On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible. 4
Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort. 5 Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world.
A. Experts suggest that we should completely give up social media.
B. The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us.
C. For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview.
D. It is a comfortable space where our opinions are constantly ignored.
E. Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive.
F. This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user.
G. This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information.
【答案】1. G 2. F 3. C 4. E 5. B
【解析】【导语】

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·四川眉山中学·期中)About a decade ago, the term “social media” was unfamiliar to many. Today, however, it has become one of our most important tools for staying connected. Social media hasn’t just created new ways for us to communicate — it has actually changed how people all over the world see and experience communication itself. 1
The clearest advantage of social media is that it has greatly increased the speed of communication. One major weakness of traditional communication systems was that they were too slow. 2 Now, messages can be delivered within seconds, and news can spread to a large number of people in the blink of an eye.
3 Many artists are gaining popularity with the use of social media. Talented individuals from rural and remote areas can now also gain public attention via social networks.
Now let’s consider the other side of it. Communication was the main purpose of the invention of social media. This purpose seems to be fulfilled from outside. 4 One major issue is the rapid spread of false news, which is becoming more common every day.
In today’s digital age, both online and offline conversations are dominated by social media interactions. With easy person-to-person access by using social media, people are becoming lazy. 5
With the increasing globalization, social media has become impossible to ignore. If used within limits, it can truly be beneficial to society. Regulations on the use of social media can lead us towards much faster and more reliable communication.
A. But communication is absolutely realistic.
B. Social media appears to solve this problem.
C. Like everything else, social media also has two sides.
D. Social media also allows us to see what life is really like.
E. As a result, many are losing interest in face-to-face meetings.
F. However, the true nature of communication appears to be fading.
G. Various applications provide a platform for people to show talents.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. G 4. F 5. E
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文,主要围绕社交媒体展开,全面探讨了社交媒体的影响,涵盖正反两方面。
(1)题解析:
文章前文“Social media hasn’t just created new ways for us to communicate — it has actually changed how people all over the world see and experience communication itself.(社交媒体不仅为我们创造了新的交流方式——它实际上改变了全世界人们看待和体验交流本身的方式。)”提到社交媒体改变了人们的沟通方式,后文开始阐述社交媒体的优点,此空作为过渡,引出下文对社交媒体正反两方面的讨论,C选项“Like everything else, social media also has two sides.(和其他事物一样,社交媒体也有两面性。)”很好地起到了承上启下的作用,说明社交媒体并非只有好的一面,也有不好的方面,所以该选项符合语境。故选C。
(2)题解析:
前文“One major weakness of traditional communication systems was that they were too slow.(传统通信系统的一个主要缺点是速度太慢。)”说传统沟通系统速度慢,社交媒体提高了沟通速度,这是社交媒体在沟通速度方面的积极影响,B选项“Social media appears to solve this problem.(社交媒体似乎解决了这个问题。)”说明了社交媒体解决了沟通慢的问题,承接上文,符合语境,故选B。
(3)题解析:
后文“Many artists are gaining popularity with the use of social media. Talented individuals from rural and remote areas can now also gain public attention via social networks.(许多艺术家通过使用社交媒体而越来越受欢迎。来自农村和偏远地区的人才现在也可以通过社交网络获得公众的关注。)”提到许多艺术家通过社交媒体获得人气,偏远地区的才艺人士也能通过社交网络获得公众关注,这都是在说明社交媒体为人们展示才华提供了平台,G选项“Various applications provide a platform for people to show talents.(各种应用为人们展示才华提供了平台。)”与后文内容紧密相关,因此符合语境。故选G。
(4)题解析:
前文“Communication was the main purpose of the invention of social media. This purpose seems to be fulfilled from outside.(交流是社交媒体发明的主要目的。这个目的似乎从外部得到了实现。)”说社交媒体沟通目的看似从外部得到了满足,接着此空后面“One major issue is the rapid spread of false news, which is becoming more common every day.(一个主要问题是虚假新闻的迅速传播,每一天变得越来越普遍。)”指出一个主要问题就是虚假新闻传播,F选项“However, the true nature of communication appears to be fading.(然而,沟通的真正本质似乎正在消失。)”中的However表转折,引出后面的虚假新闻传播的问题,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
(5)题解析:
前文“In today’s digital age, both online and offline conversations are dominated by social media interactions. With easy person-to-person access by using social media, people are becoming lazy.(在当今的数字时代,在线和离线对话都被社交媒体互动所主导。由于使用社交媒体可以方便地进行人与人之间的交流,人们变得越来越懒惰。)”提到在数字时代,社交媒体互动主导了线上和线下对话,人们使用社交媒体进行人际交流变得容易,也变得懒惰,此空作为结果,E选项“As a result, many are losing interest in face-to-face meetings.(因此,许多人对面对面的会议失去了兴趣。)”说明人们因为依赖社交媒体交流,而对面对面交流失去了兴趣,与前文逻辑相符,因此符合语境,故选E。

(25-26高一上·四川成都第二十中学·期中)Things To Remember On Your First Solo Travel Adventure
If you’ve ever thought about just taking a trip yourself instead of waiting for someone to join you, you’re not alone. 1 However, do you count yourself among the many who have tried it? If you’re planning your own solo trip, here are four important things to keep in mind.
2 Since you’re traveling solo, how you choose to explore it is entirely up to you. This is your chance to do whatever you want whenever you want because this time, you’re running the show.
Don’t be afraid to talk to random people. Though there is someone who poses a threat, it’s important to remember that not everyone is out to get you. 3 That’s because you’re a novelty, a person from another country who is visiting theirs. Therefore, instead of putting on your headphones or instantly seeing them as weirdos, use this spontaneous chat as a chance to meet the locals or get recommendations for things to do during your trip.
It’s okay to have bad days. 4 It happens and it’s completely okay to take some time to process whatever it is you’re feeling. Take yourself to a movie or spend the day dong something relaxing like writing in your journal or reading on the beach.
It’s okay to start small. 5 Start by doing a staycation in another part of town, spending a few days in a new locale a bus or train ride away. Just do whatever you’re comfortable with and see how it all feels for you.
A. You are the boss of your own adventure.
B. You need to make an unusual travel choice.
C. It’s no secret that solo travel is on the rise.
D. Sometimes things can go incredibly wrong.
E. People like you simply don’t know how to start.
F. Most of the time people are just curious and try to be friendly.
G. Remember, your first solo trip doesn’t have to be to a whole other continent.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. F 4. D 5. G

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·四川绵竹中学-上·期中)Benefits of Owning a Dog
There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friends. A good friend is faithful, will be there to pick you up when you’re down, will keep you on track to reach your goals, and will just be there for you as company. 1 The mental, physical and social benefits of caring for a dog — or any other pet, for that matter — are in large numbers. Here are all the reasons your life will improve with a dog:
Owning a dog keeps you active.
2 As a result, dog owners are often inspired toward an active lifestyle to satisfy their dog’s needs. Research conducted by the American Heart Association showed that dog owners were 54 percent more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise than non-dog owners.
3
Owning a dog has many heart-healthy benefits, such as a decrease in blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease. One study showed that non-dog owners who had survived a heart attack were more likely to die within a year than dog owners.
You will feel calmer if you own a dog.
Dogs provide a calming and familiar presence. 4 One study showed that Alzheimer’s patients who owned dogs had fewer anxiety-induced exacerbations (加重) than Alzheimer’s patients without dogs.
Dog owners can promote their communication with others.
Dogs provide a natural connection with other people and are great conversation starters. Common questions and comments from dog lovers and owners include: “What breed (品种) are they?”, “How long have you had them?” and “They’re so cute!” 5
A. Keeping a dog makes you live longer.
B. That decreases stress and anxiety levels.
C. Owning a dog provides safety and peace of mind.
D. And that’s exactly what a dog can do for its owner.
E. Dogs are naturally energetic and love to play and exercise.
F. These conversation starters lead to an immediate social connection.
G. This is because a dog fully relies on its owner for attention, meals and cleanliness.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·四川南充高中学·期中)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s natural for people to compare themselves with their peers (同龄人). Peer pressure is a problem that nearly everyone has faced at some point. If it’s not well handled, there might be some harmful results. 1 Below are tips on how to deal with peer pressure and avoid making difficult decisions that may cause unpleasant outcomes.
Find positive influence
At any age, it’s beneficial to stay involved with after-school activities like sports, music, art, or other hobbies. Team building activities can help increase self-confidence and create a support system that allows an individual to succeed. What’s more, enjoying hobbies and other harmless spare-time activities like exercising can release feel-good hormones (激素). 2
Plan ahead
Experiencing peer pressure, especially when in an unfriendly environment, can cause a person to panic and make impulsive decisions. 3 Think of different situations that start discomfort and think about how to deal with peer pressure. It’s OK to give excuses to avoid making decisions that you may feel are not right for you.
4
Positive influences, usually parents or family members, can teach you how to deal with peer pressure directly. Having a trusted friend, family member, or another resource to call on can relieve some of the everyday life stresses. They can be there to give advice or just support the decisions you’ve made that you feel are right for you.
Convey feelings and emotions
Honesty goes a long way in reducing the harmful effects of peer pressure. Speak to the person or group of people who may be causing feelings of unease or uncertainty and kindly ask them to stop. 5
A. Talk to a trusted resource.
B. Don’t be afraid to find new groups.
C. Unluckily peer pressure is difficult to avoid.
D. Therefore, it’s important to know how to deal with it.
E. So, it’s best to have a plan that can help work out an answer.
F. It’s OK to stay away from those who don’t have positive effect on you.
G. They can help reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·四川内江第六中学·期中)Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy one. Why is family important? What kind of impact does it have on a person in their childhood and as a grown-up? Here are four reasons why family matters:
Families set the stage for future relationships.
The very first relationships a child has are with their parents and any siblings (兄弟姐妹). 1 . It’s often not a decision they are aware of, but people often choose partners and friends based on how similar they are to their family.
2. During hard times, people need a family they can depend on.
When life gets hard, people need support. 2 . Someone going through hard times will turn to their family if they trust them to provide encouragement and love.
3. Quality time with family is connected to better academic performance.
Columbia University did a series of studies on family dinner time. One study showed that kids who ate dinner with their family less than three times were twice as likely to get Cs or below in school. 3 . Of course, there are other things at play (起作用), but families that value dinners together likely value other positive family communications.
4. 4 .
Families are the first place where children learn how to manage their emotions and communicate with others. It’s parents’ responsibility to guide their children and provide life lessons that will be remembered for years to come. 5 .
A. Families teach important life lessons.
B. This can be emotional or financial support.
C. When families are strong, communications are strong.
D. Family relationships are connected to a person’s health.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·四川成都列五中学·期中)“It’s helpful for teenagers to be involved (参与) in sports,” says Gary Malone, the author of What’s Wrong With My Family? 1 Actually, sports are a part of a teenager’s life, along with studies, friends and family. Here’s how parents can encourage teens to stay in the game.
· 2 Enjoyment is reason enough, but if you’re depending on glory (荣誉) from your teenager’s athletic journey, face facts. Only three percent of high school athletes go on to play in college. And less than one percent of college athletes go on to play professional sports.
·It’s not about you. When our teenagers are excellent, we feel proud. But, putting too much time or effort into how well our teenagers do in sports is no good. What is important here, say the experts, is that your teenager owns his or her sport’s experience. 3
·Don’t be “that” parent. One way to make sports about our teenagers is to pay attention to how we act at events. Actually, if you talk to teenagers about parents’ behavior on the sports field, you’ll get a lot of dissatisfactions. 4 Thompson, Executive Director of Positive Coaching Alliance, advises “no-direction” cheering during events. “We think parents should cheer, but it should be positive.” Thompson says. “You can say, ‘Hey, good kick.’ But you shouldn’t say, ‘Hey, kick it to Julie.’”
·Value positive coaching. What is positive coaching? 5 It’s also about showing respect (尊重) for the game. If a coach who wins a lot of games and even wins the championship, but his players don’t want to play for him anymore, so he drops out. Then he is a failure as a coach, no matter how many games he wins.
A. Consider why your teenager plays sports.
B. How should parents act during a game?
C. But the correct word here is “involved”.
D. So how can your teenagers follow these rules?
E. Let the coach control decisions and let the players focus on winning.
F. In other words, it’s not about you, especially not about your past sports glories or failures.
G. It’s about coaching for helping players master skills and for filling their needs for feelings.

Passage 6
(25-26高一上·四川南充西充中学·期中)Do you want to learn how to speak English well? Read on for some suggestions that will help you speak English more fluently (流利地), in less time.
Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions.
Sometimes, you can find patterns (模式) in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. For example, why is “mice” the plural (复数) of “mouse,” but “houses” is the plural of “house”? 1 The best thing to do is just remember the strange exceptions and move on.
Focus on whole phrases (短语) instead of single words.
Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts, feelings and ideas. 2 You’ll find that English is more useful in your everyday life if you study whole phrases, rather than just vocabulary and verbs.
Learn some English slang (俚语).
It can be helpful to know English slang words and phrases so that you can “stay modern” and understand modern English speech. 3 Knowing slang can improve real English fluency because it can let you follow along with the kinds of conversations that happen today.
4 Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English. This also means you need to start thinking in English. If you want to say the word “apple” in English, for example, you probably think of the word in your native language first, and then try to think of the correct word in English. 5
A. Pay attention to the sounds native speakers use.
B. Think directly in English instead of translating.
C. Slang is always present, so you can’t avoid seeing it.
D. Unluckily, there are many exceptions to English rules.
E. To avoid the same mistakes, you must learn from them.
F. Your goal is to speak English in full sentences, so learn it in full sentences.
G. Instead, try imagining a picture of an apple, and then think of the word “apple.”

Passage 7
(25-26高一上·四川遂宁中学·期中)It’s natural to experience school-related stress. But school stress is also something you can successfully manage. This article lists several strategies for coping with school stress. So, instead of letting school stress control you, take charge of your stress and enjoy your school experience!
Get to know your stress response.
You can react to stress faster when you know it’s coming on. Each person responds to stressful situations differently. Your shoulders might tighten, and your body might start shaking. Listen to your body so you know when stress is coming on. 1
Identify your school stress triggers (触发因素).
It’s hard to manage stress when you don’t know what’s causing it. 2 Is it too much homework, worries about grades, peer pressure, bullying, some combination of these? Once you’ve identified the triggers, you can come up with targeted stress-management solutions.
Replace negativity with positive self-talk.
3 It may feel a little silly at first, but repeating positive affirmations (肯定) can really give you a boost and help bring stress under control. Speak quietly to yourself if you can, or just do your self-talk in your head. Use short, focused, and relevant affirmations like “I will give my best effort on this test” and “I am a good person just the way I am”.
4
Good time management and good stress management are connected. 5 Instead, plan out your time to help prevent your homework from piling up. Stick to a daily schedule to keep things manageable so you’re never left with a tower of work to conquer by tomorrow.
A. Manage your homework.
B. Make a schoolwork schedule.
C. So it is important to deal with your stress in school.
D. Quietly repeat positive affirmations to calm and refocus your mind.
E. It’s not enough to say that “school” is causing you stress — dig a little deeper!
F. It’s really tough to stay calm when you have piles of homework staring back at you!
G. In that way, you can better identify what’s causing your stress and more effectively manage your stress.
【答案】1. G 2. E 3. D 4. B 5. F
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章为学生介绍了一些应对学校压力的策略。
(1)题解析:
前文“Your shoulders might tighten, and your body might start shaking. Listen to your body so you know when stress is coming on. (你的肩膀可能会绷紧,你的身体可能会开始颤抖。倾听你的身体,这样你就知道什么时候压力来了)”描述身体应对压力可能表现出的反应,建议观察自己的身体,空处作为段末句可能会总结这种做法的好处,因此G项“In that way, you can better identify what’s causing your stress and more effectively manage your stress. (这样,你就能更好地确定是什么导致了你的压力,更有效地管理你的压力)”符合语境,具体介绍其好处,承接前文。故选G。
(2)题解析:
前文“It’s hard to manage stress when you don’t know what’s causing it. (当你不知道造成压力的原因时,很难控制压力)”表明需要知道造成压力的原因,后文“Is it too much homework, worries about grades, peer pressure, bullying, some combination of these? (是作业太多、担心成绩、同辈压力、欺凌,还是这些因素的结合)”列举了一些具体的压力源,空处应该起到过渡的作用,说明要明确具体的压力源,因此E项“It’s not enough to say that “school” is causing you stress — dig a little deeper! (仅仅说“学校”给你带来了压力是不够的——再深入一点吧)”符合语境,建议深入了解原因,承前启后。故选E。
(3)题解析:
小标题“Replace negativity with positive self-talk. (用积极的自我对话取代消极)”表明本段的建议与积极的自我对话相关,后文“It may feel a little silly at first, but repeating positive affirmations (肯定) can really give you a boost and help bring stress under control. (一开始可能会觉得有点傻,但重复积极的肯定真的能给你动力,帮助你控制压力)”指出重复积极的肯定的好处,空处作为段首句,应该是建议做重复积极的肯定,因此D项“Quietly repeat positive affirmations to calm and refocus your mind. (静静地重复积极的肯定来平静和重新集中你的思想)”符合语境,呼应标题,引出后文,其中的repeat positive affirmations在后文有同词复现。故选D。
(4)题解析:
后文“Instead, plan out your time to help prevent your homework from piling up. Stick to a daily schedule to keep things manageable so you’re never left with a tower of work to conquer by tomorrow. (相反,计划好你的时间来防止你的作业堆积起来。坚持每天的日程安排,使事情易于管理,这样你就不会在明天之前留下一大堆工作要做)”主要建议规划好时间,按照日程安排做作业,空处是段落标题,应该建议做好日程安排,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式,因此B项“Make a schoolwork schedule (制定一个课程表)”符合语境,契合后文内容,其中的schedule在后文有同词复现。故选B。

Passage 8
(25-26高一上·四川成都盐道街中学·期中)Leave-No-Trace Camping
For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special. These are places we visit to recharge, or to fill our hearts with natural beauty. 1 If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.
Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it, with no evidence that you passed through. 2 That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.
You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways. Begin by packing out all your litter. Whenever you go camping, take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag. In addition, try not to damage vegetation. 3 Wherever you go, think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum.
It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape. 4 Plus, many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads, and these are things they would miss if you collected them.
Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful. It’s about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it. If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step. 5
A. This means not stepping into a wild animal’s space.
B. This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping.
C. Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.
D. An increasing number of people take up camping in the wilderness.
E. When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants.
F. We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.
G. Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.
【答案】1. F 2. B 3. E 4. C 5. G

上文“It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.(同样重要的是,你不应该从野外拿走东西。岩石、植物、花朵和贝壳都是自然景观的一部分)”说明不应该带走野外生长的东西,C项“Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.(一旦被拿走,别人就无法再那里欣赏到它们了)”衔接上文,说明带走野外生长的东西会导致的结果,“they”指代上文“Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells”,符合句意。故选C项。
(5)题解析:
上文“If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.(如果你喜欢看一条未受污染的山间溪流或一片美丽的野花,那么你已经迈出了第一步)”说明有欣赏自然之美的心就是实践“不留痕迹”露营的第一步,G项“Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.(遵循这些基本做法,你就可以成为践行不留痕迹露营的典范)”段尾句总结了全文内容,“these basic practices”指代上文提到的一切尊重和体贴大自然的举动,并照应开头“If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.(如果你有这种感觉,那么你就是推广和实践“不留痕迹”露营的最佳人选)”符合句意。故选G项。

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·四川成都第七中学·期中)Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. 1 The answer is clear. History is essential in human civilization. Learning history helps you learn its significance.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. 2 Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is about studying your roots and being open-minded to the today’s evolution.
3 Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. Experts argue that problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (共情的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a strong foundation for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. 4 History can break down those boundaries.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens horizons. It’s impossible to learn about one historical period without knowing related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. 5 Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from his novels, and discover the history of England.
A. History enriches our experience.
B. History helps us know ancestors.
C. We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand.
D. And it also leads to how we got to where we are today.
E. If you’re studying history, ask yourself “why is history important”.
F. This book is so attractive that it enjoys popularity in the past and present.
G. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.
【答案】1. E 2. D 3. A 4. C 5. G
【解析】【导语】

(如果你正在学习历史,问问自己“为什么历史很重要”。)的“history”与上句的“subject”相对应,具体提出了学习历史这门学科,承接上文;下句“The answer is clear. History is essential in human civilization. (答案很清楚。人类文明离不开历史。)”对选项E提出的问题给出了回答,语意衔接合理。故选E。
(2)题解析:
根据上句“History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. (历史是一个有趣的研究领域,学习我们祖国的历史可以让我们更深入地了解我们的过去。)”,选项D. And it also leads to how we got to where we are today. (它也让我们了解我们是如何走到今天的。)与其之间为并列关系,句中“it”指代上句中的“learning the history of our homeland”,且句中的“today”和上句中的“pasts”相对应,表明学习祖国的历史不仅可以让我们了解过去,也能让我们了解如何到达现在的。故选D。
(3)题解析:
本题为第三段主题句。根据该段“Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago. (阅读历史是一种奇妙的经历,因为它使我们能够反思很久以前人们的社会和经济生活。)”和“With the information about the ancestors,one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life. (有了关于祖先的信息,一个人可以在处理生活挑战方面变得更有经验。)”,选项A. History enriches our experience. (历史丰富了我们的经验。)概括了该段内容,符合段落主题。故选A。
(4)题解析:
根据上句“Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. (对别人的恐惧和憎恨通常是由无知引起的。)”,选项C. We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand. (我们害怕我们不了解的东西。)进一步解释了恐惧是由无知引起的,承接上文;下句“History can break down those boundaries. (历史可以打破这些界限。)”中的“those boundaries”指的是选项C中所说的不了解的东西,语意衔接合理。故选C。
(5)题解析:
根据上句“Study the 19th century England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. (研究19世纪的英国,你会对查尔斯·狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》感到惊讶。)”,选项G. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism. (查一下查尔斯·狄更斯,你可能会对现实主义有所了解。)继续提到了查尔斯·狄更斯,指出研究历史会让我们对狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》感到惊讶,从而激发我们去更多地了解狄更斯的信息,就会学到关于现实主义的知识;选项G与下句“Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from his novels, and discover the history of England. (或者你最终会把注意力从他的小说上移开,去发现英国的历史。)”句意之间形成选择关系,提出了惊讶之余的另一种可能的做法,是去研究发现英国历史,符合最后一段主题“History can inspire us to learn more. (历史可以激励我们学习更多。)”。故选G。
