Cats usually become aggressive because they are scared or weren’t properly socialized as kittens. 1 Here are some ways to help calm them down and keep everyone safe. If a cat is showing signs of aggression, the best thing to do is give it its own space. 2 Staying out of its reach protects you and calms the cat, helping the cat feel less threatened and more in control. Never try to punish a cat physically. Coming down hard on it can make the situation worse, even if it bites or scratches (抓). 3 Instead, try to distract it with a toy or a soft sound to shift its focus. If your cat is fighting with another animal, don’t get between them. You could get hurt. 4 For example, you can open a door to give one of them a way to escape. After an aggressive moment, let the cat calm down on its own. Don’t try to pet or hold it right away. 5 This helps rebuild trust over time. If you’re still having trouble, it’s a good idea to ask for help from a vet or a cat behavior expert. They can help you understand your cat’s behavior and find ways to make it feel safer. A. Wait until it comes to you for attention. B. Talk to it in a soft voice to help it relax. C. Make sure it has its own quiet room to hide. D. Move away slowly and avoid direct eye contact. E. Understanding this can help you respond properly. F. You should create a way for the animals to separate safely. G. Hitting or yelling will only increase its aggressive behavior. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3.

It is completely normal to feel nervous. This is where mindfulness can help. 1 Practicing it before an exam can help you stay focused, feel more confident, and do your best. Here are some simple mindful practices to try before your next test. Take a deep breath. One of the easiest and most effective mindful practices is deep breathing. Just sit quietly and focus on your breathing for one minute. 2 Doing this right before a test can help calm you down and bring your mind to the present, so you can focus better. Write it down.

Over time, this can even reduce test anxiety. You don’t need to write a lot. 3 Think with gratitude (感激). It might sound unusual, but feeling thankful before an exam is both helpful and possible! 4 For example, taking a test means you are getting an education, which is a valuable opportunity. Also, finishing exams often means a holiday or break is coming. Thinking about these positive aspects can make you feel more grateful and relaxed. 5 Encouraging words are short, powerful ones that can make you feel strong and energetic. Saying things like “I can do this” or “I am prepared” to yourself can build your confidence. Remember, everyone is different, so the words that work for you may not be the same for others. A. Try to focus on the good things. B. Care about something you hope to get. C. Use positive words to encourage yourself. D. Pay attention to your breath moving in and out. E. A few sentences about what you are feeling can help. F. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment. G. These techniques help you feel much calmer during your exams. 【答案】1. F 2. D 3.

Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2 Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. 3 Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4 5 In this way, they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. A. Laughter can prolong one’s life. B. Laughter is the best medicine. C. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. D. They’ve found that laughter really improves people’s health. E. Despite the benefits, doctors still cannot put this theory into practice. F. That’s because laughter produces chemicals which reduce stress and pain. G. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the US now hold laughter clinics. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. F 5.

Here’re the rules you are supposed to know to keep strong and healthy friendships. 1 Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re implicitly offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship. Be all ears to your friends. Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. 2 If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue. Throw away the judgment. 3 Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what. Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. 4 Respect your friends and their boundaries. Everyone has a right to set up personal boundaries to feel safe and respected. Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. 5 Give them the space they need to feel comfortable, and let the relationship deepen over time. A. Don’t crowd your friends. B. Offer them what they need. C. Support, trust, and honesty are givens. D. But friendships don’t need to be perfect. E. True friends don’t judge each other’s choices. F. However, friendships require attention and care. G. It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes. 【答案】1. C 2. F 3. E 4. G 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些保持牢固且健康的友谊的规则。 (1)题解析： 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“Everyone needs a support network. (每个人都需要一个支持网络)”和“What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship. (更重要的是，没有信任和诚实，友谊就没有真实性)”可知，本段主要建议给朋友支持、信任和诚实，因此C项“Support, trust, and honesty are givens. (给予支持、信任和诚实)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的Support、trust和honesty在后文有同词复现。故选C。 (2)题解析： 前文“Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. (很多时候，我们只“半听”别人对我们说的话，很难腾出空间去关心别人的情况)”指出存在不认真倾听和缺乏关心的问题，因此F项“However, friendships require attention and care. (然而，友谊需要关注和关心)”符合语境，点明需要提供关注和关心，承接前文的问题，其中的care和前文的caring呼应。故选F。 (3)题解析： 前文“Throw away the judgment. (把评判抛诸脑后)”建议不要评判，因此E项“True friends don’t judge each other’s choices. (真正的朋友不会评判对方的选择)”符合语境，说明真正的友谊中不会有对对方选择的评判，承接前文，其中的judge呼应前文的judgment。故选E。 (4)题解析： 前文“Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. (在你能原谅的地方原谅——当你把事情搞得一团糟的时候寻求原谅。没有人能保证让一段关系变得完美，所以愿意接受和原谅别人的缺点会让你更有可能建立一段持久的友谊)”建议原谅朋友和请求原谅，并解释原谅朋友的原因，因此G项“It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes. (同样重要的是，我们能够意识到自己犯了错误)”符合语境，说明要意识到自己犯错，承接段首句中的请求原谅。故选G。 (5)题解析： 前文“Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. (有些朋友可能因为害怕受到伤害而很难让别人接近他们)”描述有些朋友不易让人接近的情况，后文“Give them the space they need to feel comfortable, and let the relationship deepen over time. (给他们足够的空间，让他们感到舒适，让这种关系随着时间的推移而加深)”建议给予这些朋友舒适的空间，因此A项“Don’t crowd your friends. (不要逼迫你的朋友)”符合语境，劝诫不要逼迫他们，承上启下。故选A。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·广东茂名第一中学-10月·期中）School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions(互动) — not to mention getting up early every morning. It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week. 1 The following tips can help you feel happier on school days. Focus on the good things about school. 2 Think about the bigger picture and how your education will have a positive impact on your life in the long run. If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself that you only have to be in school for a relatively short period of your life. After that, the sky is the limit! Do something nice for someone. Making other people smile can improve your own happiness. 3 Or, thank a teacher for a fun activity or an interesting lesson. If you see someone else that looks like they might be feeling down, tell them you like their hair style or praise the work they have done. 4 If someone isn’t nice to you at school, it’s probably not your fault. Try to remember that nobody is perfect and think about what might be going on in their lives that makes them act negatively(消极地) towards you. Try your best to sweep away a dirty look or a bad comment and move on without getting angry and upset. Reward yourself. Once you get that big A on your exam or work, don’t forget to go out and celebrate! It’s always great to reward yourself when you do something good especially when it will benefit your future in so many ways! Always believe that you can and you will go a long way! No one can change your future except you. 5 A. Smile more often. B. Try not to take negativity from others too serious. C. But it’s also something you can totally improve! D. Give another student some positive encouragement. E. Do the best of what you have, and try to have some fun along the way. F. A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood.

(别太把别人的负面情绪往心里去。)”与下文内容衔接紧密，符合语境，能概括本段内容。故选B。 (5)题解析： 根据空前句子“No one can change your future except you.(除了你自己，没有人能改变你的未来。)”可知，此处是在强调自己要为未来努力，E选项“Do the best of what you have, and try to have some fun along the way.(尽你所能，同时也要在这个过程中找点乐子。)”是对前文的进一步补充，鼓励人们在努力的同时享受过程，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Traveling alone can be a fun experience.

The more English words you learn, the better you can communicate your needs, ideas, thoughts and feelings to others in English. 1 Here are four tips for better vocabulary learning. ●Write down new words. It’s a really good idea to write down useful new vocabulary. 2 Plus, lots of people learn better when they see things written on paper, rather than just hearing them. ●Revise new vocabulary regularly. So, you’ve got an English notebook full of useful vocabulary to remember. But did you know that if you don’t look again at the new words and phrases, you only remember on average 20-25 percent of them? 3 So make five minutes each day to revise your English vocabulary. The more you look backwards, the faster you go forwards! ●Learn from context. “Context” means the text that comes before and after a particular word. 4 It helps you guess the meaning of words you don’t know, it shows you how a word is used in a sentence, and it helps you remember the word for longer. This means learning vocabulary by reading and listening is more effective than trying to study word lists. It also means that it’s better to make a note of how a word is used in a sentence rather than just the word on its own. ● 5 Researchers have found that you need to see or hear a word on average ten times to remember it. But you learn it much faster when you’re actively using a word. So, besides getting as much exposure to English as you can,take every opportunity to communicate in English with other people. A. Use it or lose it! B. See or hear a word more times. C. New words are usually hard to remember. D. That’s a shocking waste of time and effort! E. It also refers to the situation in which a word is used. F. The act of writing the words helps you remember them better. G. So what can you do to build your English vocabulary quickly and effectively? 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. D 4. E 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了提升英语词汇量的几个建议。 (1)题解析： 前文“The more English words you learn, the better you can communicate your needs, ideas, thoughts and feelings to others in English.(你学习的英语单词越多，你就越能用英语与他人交流您的需求、想法、想法和感受)”讲了英语词汇量大的好处，下文“Here are four tips for better vocabulary learning. (这里有四个技巧可以更好地学习词汇)”就更好学习词汇提出了四个建议。由此可知，空处应为一个问句承上启下，与G项“So what can you do to build your English vocabulary quickly and effectively? (那么，你可以做些什么来快速有效地建立英语词汇量呢？)”上下文一致，故选G项。 (2)题解析： 根据小标题“Write down new words.(写下新单词)”可知，本段主要讲述写下新单词的好处。由此可知，F项“The act of writing the words helps you remember them better. (写单词的行为可以帮助你更好地记住它们)”符合本段语境。故选F项。 (3)题解析： 根据上句“But did you know that if you don’t look again at the new words and phrases, you only remember on average 20-25 percent of them? (但是你知道吗，如果你不再看新的单词和短语，你平均只记得其中的20-25%？)”可知，只记住了20%-30%的内容，有点浪费时间。由此可知，D项“That’s a shocking waste of time and effort! (这是令人震惊的时间和精力浪费！)”能够承接上文，符合语境。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据前文““Context” means the text that comes before and after a particular word.(“语境”是指特定单词之前和之后的文本)”可知，空处应会继续解释“context”，然后再谈语境的好处。由此可知，E项“It also refers to the situation in which a word is used. (它也指使用单词的形势)”能够承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。 (5)题解析： 根据下文“Researchers have found that you need to see or hear a word on average ten times to remember it. But you learn it much faster when you’re actively using a word.(研究人员发现，你需要平均看到或听到一个单词十次才能记住它。但是当你积极使用一个单词时，你会学得更快)” 及“So, besides getting as much exposure to English as you can, take every opportunity to communicate in English with other people.(因此，除了尽可能多地接触英语外，还要抓住一切机会与其他人用英语交流)”可知，主要讲述了使用单词的重要性。由此可知，A项“Use it or lose it! (要么使用它，要么失去它！)”适合作本段小标题。故选A项。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东广州五中·12月段考）A lot of kids and adults say they get nervous during social situations. Maybe it’s speaking up in class or making a phone call or just trying something new. You might feel butterflies in your stomach, or your heart may beat faster or you get suddenly anxious. 1 And if fear of being embarrassed or making a mistake is getting in your way, there are some things you can try on your own to help. 2 Experts agree that avoiding situations that make us anxious can actually make things worse in the long run. Getting out of something you don’t want to do might make you feel better in the moment, but you will still feel anxious the next time you’re asked to do it. Push yourself. While leaving your comfort zone isn’t easy, it can be very good for you. That’s because anxiety tends to go away when you start doing the things that make you anxious. So try to face your anxiety and fear and see what happens. You might find you have the skills to deal with it. 3 Practice a lot. As an experiment, try doing something that makes you nervous. 4 Whatever you do, you’ll find that it gets easier over time. That’s because by practicing the things that make you nervous you are actually improving your ability to easily handle them. Relax yourself. Don’t try to relax by watching television or visiting a website. 5 For example, doing things like yoga can also help you stay calm. A. Being nervous is uncommon B. Don’t avoid something. C. Pay no attention to your thoughts. D. Those things are your body’s reaction(反应) to fear. E. Start with practising little things like answering questions in class. F. Try a deep relaxation that has a physical effect on the mind. G. And next time you’re in that situation you might feel less nervous. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. G 4. E 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些帮助在社交场合消除紧张的方法。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“Maybe it’s speaking up in class or making a phone call or just trying something new.

Getting out of something you don’t want to do might make you feel better in the moment, but you will still feel anxious the next time you’re asked to do it.(专家们一致认为，从长远来看，避免让我们焦虑的情况实际上会使事情变得更糟。摆脱你不想做的事情可能会让你在此刻感觉更好，但下次被要求做的时候，你仍然会感到焦虑。)”可知，本段主要讲述了逃避让你焦虑的情况没有好处，不要避免这种事情，B项“不要回避某些事情。”最能概括本段内容。故选B。 (3)题解析： 根据前文“So try to face your anxiety and fear and see what happens. You might find you have the skills to deal with it.(所以，试着面对你的焦虑和恐惧，看看会发生什么。你可能会发现你有处理它的技能。)”可知，前文鼓励你尝试面对焦虑和恐惧，你会发现自己能够应对这种情况，空处应进一步讲述下次遇到这种情形时就不会那么紧张了，G项“下次你遇到这种情况时，你可能会不那么紧张。”符合题意。故选G。 (4)题解析： 根据本段小标题“Practice a lot.(多练习。)”和空前“As an experiment, try doing something that makes you nervous.(作为一个实验，试着做一些让你紧张的事情。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要多练习，且前面说可以尝试做一些让你紧张的事情，空处应与“练习”有关，E项“从练习一些小事情开始，比如在课堂上回答问题。”符合题意。故选E。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“Don’t try to relax by watching television or visiting a website.(不要试图通过看电视或上网来放松。)”和后文“For example, doing things like yoga can also help you stay calm.(例如，做瑜伽等运动也可以帮助你保持平静。)”可知，空处承上启下，与前文“看电视或上网来放松的方式”形成转折，引出下文“做瑜伽来保持平静”的例子，F项“尝试一种对心灵有身体影响的深度放松。”符合题意。故选F。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）As a speaker of 10 languages, I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 1 Language learning is hard. It will be only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 2 What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you will feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking. 3 No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success. You have to live where the language is spoken. Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learnt to speak Mandarin fluently while living in San Francisco. 4 You can download it to your cellphone and listen. Where you live is not a problem. I would love to learn but I don’t have the time. How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk? 5 Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time. I believe if you can avoid these traps, you will surely become masters of language learning. A. The following are some tips for you to follow. B. You have to have a gift for learning languages. C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings. E. Languages can only be learnt instead of being taught. F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your cellphone? G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. G 5. F 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了语言学习的一些误区。 (1)题解析： 根据设空处前两句“Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them.(实际上，学习语言并不是什么大的挑战。我们只需要改变学习它们的方式)”可知，学习语言并不是艰巨的挑战，我们只需改变自己学习语言的方式。再根据下文各段小标题可知，接下来要介绍的是对语言学习的一些误解。D项“我们需要避免一些常见的误解”承接上文并引出下文内容。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 根据下文“What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple.(你最需要做的是花些时间听和读。相信我，就是这么简单)”可知，作者认为学习语言实际上并不难，只需要花时间听和读。C项“学习一门语言需要花些时间，但是不难”符合语境，且C项中的takes time与下文中的spend some time呼应。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 根据设空处位置可知，设空处为本部分小标题。再根据下文中的“Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages.(任何想学习的人都能成功。在瑞典和荷兰，大多数人会说不止一种语言。他们不可能都有语言天赋)”可知，本段解释学习语言和天赋的关系，即语言学习与天赋无关。B项“你必须在学习语言方面很有天赋”是对语言学习的一种误解，能够概括本部分主要内容。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 根据下文中的“You can download it to your cellphone and listen.(你可以下载到你的手机上听)”可知，这里提到代词it，所以设空处要说明it是指什么，G项“有了因特网，任何人都可以使用电脑获得语言内容”提到了it的指代对象“语言内容”，符合语境。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文中的“How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk?(你花在排队、做家务和散步上的时间呢？)”可知，作者是在指出哪些时间是可以用来学习语言的。F项“为什么不利用那段时间用你的手机来听一种语言呢？”和上文意思一致。故选F项。 Passage 5 （25-26高一上·广东深圳高级中学·期中）Studies continue to show how important strong friendships are to our overall health. Here’re the rules you are supposed to know to keep strong and healthy friendships. 1 Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship. Be all ears to your friends. Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. 2 If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue. Throw away the judgment. 3 Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what. Forgive (原谅) where you can - and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. 4 Respect your friends and their boundaries. Everyone has a right to set up personal boundaries to feel safe and respected. Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. 5 Give them the space they need to feel comfortable and let the relationship deepen over time. A. Don’t push your friends B. Offer them what they need C. Support, trust, and honesty are principles D. But friendships don’t need to be perfect E. True friends don’t judge each other’s choices F. However, friendships require attention and care G. It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes 【答案】1. C 2. F 3. E 4. G 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，短文介绍了如何维持牢固健康的友谊。 (1)题解析： 根据下文“Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity(真实性) to the friendship.(每个人都需要一个支持网络。当你将自己视为他人的朋友时，你就是在主动成为对方支持网络中的一员。此外，没有信任与坦诚，友谊便失去了真实性。)”可知，本段核心是“支持、信任、诚实”对友谊的重要性。C选项“Support, trust, and honesty are principles(支持、信任和诚实是基本原则)”直接点明本段主题，“Support, trust, and honesty”与下文内容一一对应，起到总领全段的作用。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions.(很多时候，我们只是“半心半意地听”别人说的话，很难腾出精力关心别人的状况。)”及下文“If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue.(如果我们不真正了解朋友的需求，或者无法清晰表达自己的感受和需求，友谊就无法维系或继续。)”可知，空格处需强调“友谊需要用心关注和呵护”。F选项“However, friendships require attention and care(然而，友谊需要关注和呵护)”中“however”承接前文“半心半意倾听”的问题，“attention and care”呼应下文“了解需求、表达感受”的重要性，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 (3)题解析： 根据本段小标题“Throw away the judgment(放下评判)”及下文“Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what.(好朋友会意识到每个人都是普通人。朋友不一定非要“喜欢”或“认可”对方的选择，但好朋友会无条件接受对方的选择。)”可知，空格处需点明“真正的朋友不会评判彼此的选择”。E选项“True friends don’t judge each other’s choices(真正的朋友不会评判彼此的选择)”直接呼应小标题“Throw away the judgment”，且与下文“accept their friends’ choices”形成逻辑一致，起到引出具体观点的作用。故选E项。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship.(没有人能保证一段关系是完美的，所以愿意接受和原谅别人的缺点，你更有可能建立一段持久的友谊。)”可知，空格处需补充“自己犯错时也应寻求原谅”。G选项“It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes(同样重要的是，我们要能意识到自己何时犯了错)”中“also important”承接前文“原谅别人的缺点”，且“recognize when we make mistakes”对应小标题中的“seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something”，完善了“原谅”的双向逻辑（原谅他人+主动认错求原谅）。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt.(有些朋友可能因为害怕受伤而难以让别人靠近。)”及下文“Give them the space they need to feel comfortable and let the relationship deepen over time.(给他们需要的空间，让他们感到舒适，让关系随着时间慢慢加深。)”可知，空格处需给出“不要强迫朋友”的建议。A选项“Don’t push your friends(不要强迫你的朋友)”直接呼应下文“Give them the space”，既承接了“朋友害怕受伤、难以靠近”的现状，又明确了具体做法，符合“尊重边界”的段落主题。故选A项。 Passage 6 （25-26高一上·广东广州西关外国语学校·期中）It is never too late to develop good study habits.

But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring. Its help for our body is clear. Whether it’s practicing with a punching (拳打) bag or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an intense form of exercise and give a full-body workout. 2 And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively affect other aspects of physical well-being, like heart health and weight management. 3 Boxing can also positively affect someone’s mental well-being. Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and sadness. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of focus. And there is a third benefit to putting on boxing gloves. Practicing punches can be done alone, of course. 4 It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging. 5 A. It can improve our body strength. B. But boxing is not just a one-person activity. C. So the teamwork can make our society better. D. So boxing also strengthens a sense of group. E. More recently, boxing has become popular in the UK. F. But the high demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body. G. It develops self-defense skills, helping build confidence to protect oneself. 【答案】1. E 2. A 3. F 4. B 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了拳击的历史及现状，从身体、心理和社交三个维度深入剖析了拳击的好处。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Boxing has been practiced for centuries — it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece.(拳击这项运动已经存在了数个世纪——它甚至曾是古希腊第一届奥运会的参赛项目之一)”以及后文“Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring.(每周都有成千上万来自各行各业的人参与这项运动。但为什么呢？答案在于拳击运动所能带来的身体、心理乃至社交方面的诸多益处)”可知，空前提到拳击有数百年历史，空后提到每周有数十万人参与其中。由此可推知，设空处既要承接空前提到的拳击的历史，又要引出空后拳击的现状。E项与此相关，该项中的“More recently”衔接拳击的历史与现状，且其中的“become popular in the UK”与空后每周有数十万人参与拳击的现状相呼应。故E选项“最近，拳击在英国也变得流行起来”符合语境，故选E。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Its help for our body is clear. Whether it’s practicing with a punching (拳打) bag or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an intense form of exercise and give a full-body workout.(它对我们身体的益处是显而易见的。无论是使用沙袋进行练习，还是在拳击台上与对手对抗，拳击都是一种高强度的锻炼方式，能让我们全身得到锻炼)”以及后文“And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively affect other aspects of physical well-being, like heart health and weight management.(而且它还能提高无氧运动能力——使人们能够更努力地锻炼，持续时间也更长。这些效果反过来又会对身体健康的其他方面产生积极影响，比如心脏健康和体重管理)”可知，空前提到拳击对身体的好处显而易见，空后提到拳击还会提高无氧适应性。由此可推知，设空处应该也是拳击对身体的好处的举例说明，并与空后内容为并列关系。A项与此相关，该项中的“can improve our body strength”与空后的“can also increase anaerobic fitness”构成并列关系，都是拳击对身体的好处的举例说明。故A选项“它能够增强我们的身体力量”符合语境，故选A。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“Boxing can also positively affect someone’s mental well-being. Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and sadness. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of focus.(拳击运动还能对人的心理健康产生积极影响。开放大学体育与健身专业的高级讲师杰西卡·平奇贝克博士表示，拳击能够缓解一些焦虑和抑郁的症状。定期锻炼已众所周知对心理健康有益，而拳击还能让人集中注意力)”可知，空后提到拳击对心理健康的益处，设空处要点明本段拳击对心理健康有益处的主旨。F项与此相关，该项中的“But”将拳击对身体的益处过渡到下文对心理健康的益处，其中的“aren’t just good for the body”与空后的“positively affect someone’s mental well-being”衔接紧密，形成递进关系，共同点明本段主旨。故F选项“但这项运动的高要求不仅对身体有益”符合语境，故选F。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“And there is a third benefit to putting on boxing gloves. Practicing punches can be done alone, of course.(而且戴上拳击手套还有第三个好处。当然，练习出拳动作是完全可以独自进行的)”以及后文“It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging.(这还意味着要与他人合作，共同进行训练并确保自身安全。开放大学教育学高级讲师加文·威廉姆斯博士表示，这种团队合作能够营造出归属感)”可知，空前提到可独自练习拳击，空后强调拳击需要与他人合作训练，前后内容形成转折关系，且后文肯定了社交和团队协作的重要性。由此可推知，设空处既要表明前后内容的转折关系，又要表明拳击对社交的好处。B项与此相关，该项中的“But”表转折，否定拳击仅为个人活动，自然引出后文对拳击的社交益处的介绍。故B选项“但拳击并非只是个人的活动”符合语境，故选B。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging.(这还意味着要与他人合作，共同进行训练并确保自身安全。开放大学教育学高级讲师加文·威廉姆斯博士表示，这种团队合作能够营造出归属感)”可知，本段强调拳击带来的社交益处，且空前提到了团队合作可以产生一种归属感。由此可推知，设空处既要总结本段主旨，又要与空前提到的拳击带来社交的归属感相呼应。D项与此相关, 该项以“So”开头总结本段主旨, 其中的“a sense of group”与空前“a sense of belonging”形成语义上的呼应, 完成社交层面的结论闭环。故D选项“所以拳击还能增强集体意识”符合语境，故选D。 Passage 8 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第一中学-11月·期中）How to be a Better Tourist While Abroad If you want to be a better traveler, here are some tips.

Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word. 2 This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. Keep in mind that you don’t need to read every single word to understand the sentence’s overall meaning. Cover words you’ve already read with a card. When you’re reading, your eyes can move back to earlier words. These are typically short habitual movements that don’t improve understanding or speed. Use a card to cover words right after you’ve read them. 3 Move your eyes less as you read. While reading, your eyes: move, stopping on some words and skipping others. However, you can only comprehend what you’re reading when your eyes stop moving. Learning to move your eyes less can help you read faster. So try staring at one line at a time without gliding your eyes over the words. 4 Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you do a speed reading exercise. Not only does trying to beat your best speed motivate you, but it can also give you a goal to work towards. Set obtainable goals to improve your speed reading. Aim to work on n yours pee reading daily by completing speed reading exercises. 200 to 250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone 12 or older. 5 At 450 words per minute, you’re reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. It typically takes 2 to 4weeks to double your reading speed, so be patient with yourself and keep trying. A. Point to the words you’re reading on the page. B. So, how do you learn and master this amazing skill? C. Time your reading speed so you can track your progress. D. Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads. E. This way, you can train yourself not to look back at previous sentences. F. 300 words per minute is the reading speed of the average college student. G. Reading can seem like such a chore, especially because it can take so long. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. E 4. C 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了掌握和提高速读技能的一些有效的技巧。 (1)题解析： 上文“Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques.(速读是一种让人们通过略读技巧快速处理信息的技能)”解释什么是速读：一种让人们通过略读技巧快速处理信息的技能；结合下文“Here’re some efficient speed reading techniques.(这里是一些有效的速读技巧)”可知，设空处为过渡句，起到承上启下的作用，与速读技能的学习有关；B选项“So, how do you learn and master this amazing skill?(所以，你如何学习并掌握这个令人惊叹的技能呢?)”符合语境，选项中的“this amazing skill”指代上文中的“a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques”，下文则承接B选项这个问句，引出文章主题：介绍有效的速读技巧。故选B。 (2)题解析： 根据上文（本段主旨句）“Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word.(少和自己说话，并避免发出每个单词的声音)”以及下文“This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. (这可能会有助于读者记住概念但是也会是速读的一个主要障碍)”可知，该空应为一种把每个单词都读出来有关的做法；D选项“Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads.(有些读者把读到的每一个字都在脑子里念出来)”符合语境，选项中的“sound out every word”与上文中的“sounding out each word”相照应。故选D。 (3)题解析： 该段主题句“Cover words you’ve already read with a card.

Absolutely, flying and invisibility (隐身) had crossed my mind. But every time, I’d always settle on reading people’s minds. In a friend group, I’m usually the quieter one—the one who observes everyone else interacting and occasionally voices my opinion. 2 . Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves. It’s human nature, after all. Yet our tendency to hide certain feelings and unintentionally (无意地) judge others keeps me on edge. It’s what makes me want to know what people are thinking. I’m constantly afraid of what people think of me. Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong? 3 . I overthink people’s reactions, movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine (真诚的). Ultimately, I’ve come to realize that it shouldn’t really matter what other people think. 4 , it’s an overwhelmingly (压倒性地) exhausting ability to have. Indeed, it’s not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone. You only have so much control over that. 5 . A. Does it really matter what other people think B. If you could have a superpower, what would it be C. Focus on what you can control, but don’t overthink D. These thoughts often consume me and make me overthink E. Though as a curious person, I am always wondering what is going through someone’s head F. While knowing what people think of me may address any doubts I have about myself or a relationship G. Seeing how people communicate with each other makes me wonder what is really going on in their heads 【答案】1. B 2. G 3. D 4. F 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者想要拥有读懂别人想法的能力，但却觉得这是一件耗费精力和情绪的事情，因此最终意识到，不要太在意别人的看法，专注自己的事情就可以。 (1)题解析： 根据空后“My answer would always be the same: I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking.(我的答案总是一样的：我希望有能力知道人们在想什么。)”可知，空后提出的答案是希望有能力知道人们在想什么，故此处应提问希望拥有什么能力，故B项“如果你有超能力，那会是什么”符合，本空提出问题，空后回答问题，故选B项。 (2)题解析： 根据空前“In a friend group, I’m usually the quieter one — the one who observes everyone else interacting and occasionally voices my opinion.(在朋友圈里，我通常比较安静——观察其他人的互动，偶尔发表我的意见。)”和空后“Whether we admit it or not, we always keep some thoughts to ourselves.(无论我们承认与否，我们总是自己有一些想法。)”可知，空前提到我在朋友圈里，很少发表自己的意见，空后说到我们肯定有着自己的想法，故G项“看到人们如何相互交流，我不禁想知道他们的脑子里到底在想什么”符合，承接空前的观察其他人互动，在他们互动时，我不禁在想他们脑子里在想着什么，又引出空后我们肯定有着自己的想法，故选G项。 (3)题解析： 根据空后“I overthink people’s reactions, movements and even words. I overthink past conversations I had, wondering what I could have said instead to make me sound less stupid or more genuine (真诚的).(我过度思考人们的反应、动作甚至语言。我过度思考了过去的对话，想知道我本可以说些什么来让自己听起来不那么愚蠢或更真诚。)”可知，空后举出我过度思考的例子，故D项“这些想法经常消耗我的经历，让我过度思考。”符合，本空提出我经常过度思考，空后举出具体的例子，且D项中的“These thoughts”指代前文“Do I look bad? Did I do something wrong?”提到的这些想法，故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据空后“it’s an overwhelmingly (压倒性地) exhausting ability to have.(这是一种令人筋疲力尽的能力。)”可知，空后是F项“虽然知道别人对我的看法可能会解决我对自己或一段关系的任何疑虑”的转折承接，尽管知道别人对我的看法能解决我的疑虑，但这却是一种令人筋疲力尽的能力，故选F项。 (5)题解析： 根据空前“Indeed, it’s not worth wasting time, energy and emotions worrying about whether you appear cool to someone. You only have so much control over that.(事实上，不值得浪费时间、精力和情绪去担心你在别人面前是够很酷。你对此只有这么多控制权。)”可知，空前提到不值得浪费时间、经历和情绪去在意别人对你的看法，故此空应该提出什么才是合理的，故C项“专注你能控制的事情，但不要过度思考。”符合，承接空前的只有这些控制权，因此专注自己能控制的事情，故选C项。 Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东华南师范附属中学·期中）Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. 1 Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. 2 They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. 3 Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. 4 For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. 5 They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F.

When we set out to reach a destination, we often go through a lot of planning and preparation. 1 In the process. the expectation and effort put into the journey are the most exciting parts. 2 I would be anxious for the big days until I arrived at my chosen spot, thinking that reaching it was the main goal. But as I traveled more, my view began to change. I started to dive deeper into what each place had to offer. I learned to appreciate the local culture, meet the people, and engage in unique experiences. I remember one night when we decided to take a trip that involved (包含) a four-hour drive. After two hours of driving, I was feeling tired. We decided to stop for tea to take a break. As the sun began to set, I looked around and was struck by the golden light shining on the mountains. 3 So I took my time enjoying my tea and the view. Suddenly, someone urged us to hurry up One fellow traveler quickly jumped back into the car without taking a moment to appreciate the scenery. 4 While I was enjoying the journey and the beauty around us, he was only focusing on reaching our endpoint.

Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东深圳宝安区宝安中学·期中）How to calm down an aggressive cat Dealing with an aggressive (有攻击性的) cat can be challenging, but understanding why it acts that way is the first step. Cats usually become aggressive because they are scared or weren’t properly socialized as kittens. 1 Here are some ways to help calm them down and keep everyone safe. If a cat is showing signs of aggression, the best thing to do is give it its own space. 2 Staying out of its reach protects you and calms the cat, helping the cat feel less threatened and more in control. Never try to punish a cat physically. Coming down hard on it can make the situation worse, even if it bites or scratches (抓). 3 Instead, try to distract it with a toy or a soft sound to shift its focus. If your cat is fighting with another animal, don’t get between them. You could get hurt. 4 For example, you can open a door to give one of them a way to escape. After an aggressive moment, let the cat calm down on its own. Don’t try to pet or hold it right away. 5 This helps rebuild trust over time. If you’re still having trouble, it’s a good idea to ask for help from a vet or a cat behavior expert. They can help you understand your cat’s behavior and find ways to make it feel safer. A. Wait until it comes to you for attention. B. Talk to it in a soft voice to help it relax. C. Make sure it has its own quiet room to hide. D. Move away slowly and avoid direct eye contact. E. Understanding this can help you respond properly. F. You should create a way for the animals to separate safely. G. Hitting or yelling will only increase its aggressive behavior. Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东上进联考·期中）Exams and tests are your chance to show what you have learned. It is completely normal to feel nervous. This is where mindfulness can help. 1 Practicing it before an exam can help you stay focused, feel more confident, and do your best. Here are some simple mindful practices to try before your next test. Take a deep breath. One of the easiest and most effective mindful practices is deep breathing. Just sit quietly and focus on your breathing for one minute. 2 Doing this right before a test can help calm you down and bring your mind to the present, so you can focus better. Write it down. Writing in a journal is a powerful way to deal with stress. If you make a habit of writing about your positive feelings, it can help you let go of exam worries. Over time, this can even reduce test anxiety. You don’t need to write a lot. 3 Think with gratitude (感激). It might sound unusual, but feeling thankful before an exam is both helpful and possible! 4 For example, taking a test means you are getting an education, which is a valuable opportunity. Also, finishing exams often means a holiday or break is coming. Thinking about these positive aspects can make you feel more grateful and relaxed. 5 Encouraging words are short, powerful ones that can make you feel strong and energetic. Saying things like “I can do this” or “I am prepared” to yourself can build your confidence. Remember, everyone is different, so the words that work for you may not be the same for others. A. Try to focus on the good things. B. Care about something you hope to get. C. Use positive words to encourage yourself. D. Pay attention to your breath moving in and out. E. A few sentences about what you are feeling can help. F. Mindfulness means paying attention to the present moment. G. These techniques help you feel much calmer during your exams. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东广州培正、三中和四中联考·期中）There is an English saying: 1 Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 2 Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. 3 Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4 5 In this way, they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. A. Laughter can prolong one’s life. B. Laughter is the best medicine. C. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial. D. They’ve found that laughter really improves people’s health. E. Despite the benefits, doctors still cannot put this theory into practice. F. That’s because laughter produces chemicals which reduce stress and pain. G. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the US now hold laughter clinics. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·广东深圳罗湖高级中学·期中）Studies continue to show how important strong friendships are to our overall health. Here’re the rules you are supposed to know to keep strong and healthy friendships. 1 Everyone needs a support network. When you consider yourself the friend of another, you’re implicitly offering to be a part of his or her support network. What’s more, without trust and honesty, there is no authenticity (真实性) to the friendship. Be all ears to your friends. Too often, we only “half hear” what others are telling us, and have a hard time making space for caring about others’ conditions. 2 If we don’t truly know what our friends need or can’t clearly express how we feel or what we need, friendships won’t survive or continue. Throw away the judgment. 3 Good friends are able to realize that everyone is human. Friends don’t have to necessarily “like” or “approve” of their friends’ choices, but good friends will accept their friends’ choices no matter what. Forgive (原谅) where you can — and seek forgiveness when you make a mess of something. No one promises to bring perfection to a relationship, so being willing to accept and forgive the weaknesses of others makes you more likely to build a lasting friendship. 4 Respect your friends and their boundaries. Everyone has a right to set up personal boundaries to feel safe and respected. Some friends may have a difficult time letting people get close to them for fear of being hurt. 5 Give them the space they need to feel comfortable, and let the relationship deepen over time. A. Don’t crowd your friends. B. Offer them what they need. C. Support, trust, and honesty are givens. D. But friendships don’t need to be perfect. E. True friends don’t judge each other’s choices. F. However, friendships require attention and care. G. It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes. Passage 6 （25-26高一上·广东茂名第一中学-10月·期中）School days mean homework, studying, exams, and social interactions(互动) — not to mention getting up early every morning. It’s understandable if you don’t always feel your happiest going to school during the week. 1 The following tips can help you feel happier on school days. Focus on the good things about school. 2 Think about the bigger picture and how your education will have a positive impact on your life in the long run. If you’re having a bad day, tell yourself that you only have to be in school for a relatively short period of your life. After that, the sky is the limit! Do something nice for someone. Making other people smile can improve your own happiness. 3 Or, thank a teacher for a fun activity or an interesting lesson. If you see someone else that looks like they might be feeling down, tell them you like their hair style or praise the work they have done. 4 If someone isn’t nice to you at school, it’s probably not your fault. Try to remember that nobody is perfect and think about what might be going on in their lives that makes them act negatively(消极地) towards you. Try your best to sweep away a dirty look or a bad comment and move on without getting angry and upset. Reward yourself. Once you get that big A on your exam or work, don’t forget to go out and celebrate! It’s always great to reward yourself when you do something good especially when it will benefit your future in so many ways! Always believe that you can and you will go a long way! No one can change your future except you. 5 A. Smile more often. B. Try not to take negativity from others too serious. C. But it’s also something you can totally improve! D. Give another student some positive encouragement. E. Do the best of what you have, and try to have some fun along the way. F. A little positive thinking can go a long way towards improving your mood. G. Whether in school or at home, you look for ways to make learning more enjoyable. Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第八中学-12月·期中）Traveling alone can be a fun experience. It can also be dangerous without the proper preparation. With the right planning, you can make the best of traveling alone, be prepared for anything and make memories you will carry with you forever. 1 Think of all the places you want to see, food you want to eat and activities you’d like to do. You don’t want to miss out on anything or run out of money on your trip. Figure out what’s possible for your budget (预算) and plan a perfect trip. Plan your flights and ground transportation in advance. Getting around by yourself in a new place can be challenging. You must take the time to research the best airport and select the cheap flights from different airlines. And once you land, make sure you know how to navigate (导航) from the airport to your hotel. 2 Book your accommodations ahead of time. 3 Booking hotels in advance will help you avoid high costs And “No Vacancy” (客满) signs: apartment rentals and hostels can be affordable options if you’re traveling on a budget. Learn about your destination and local customs. As a traveler, it’s important that you have the necessary information about the place you are visiting. 4 Research local customs to avoid any embarrassing situations. If you’re visiting a foreign language-speaking country, study key phrases and the correct pronunciations. Pack the things you need and nothing you don’t. 5 Traveling alone is hard enough, and you don’t want to be slowed down by a lot of luggage. If some items you need are difficult to travel with, it may be cheaper and easier to buy them when you land. Don’t bring any expensive items that could risk being stolen. A. Pack up the light items. B. Make sure you can pay for a taxi. C. You can book a car to the hotel in advance. D. Plan a journey and budget for your perfect trip. E. Inform someone of your travel plans for safety. F. Before getting there, make sure you know which hotel you’ll live in. G. Understand the local weather conditions and make proper preparations. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东深圳第二实验学校-12月·期中）Four Tips to Improve Your English Vocabulary Learning vocabulary is a big part of learning a language. The more English words you learn, the better you can communicate your needs, ideas, thoughts and feelings to others in English. 1 Here are four tips for better vocabulary learning. ●Write down new words. It’s a really good idea to write down useful new vocabulary. 2 Plus, lots of people learn better when they see things written on paper, rather than just hearing them. ●Revise new vocabulary regularly. So, you’ve got an English notebook full of useful vocabulary to remember. But did you know that if you don’t look again at the new words and phrases, you only remember on average 20-25 percent of them? 3 So make five minutes each day to revise your English vocabulary. The more you look backwards, the faster you go forwards! ●Learn from context. “Context” means the text that comes before and after a particular word. 4 It helps you guess the meaning of words you don’t know, it shows you how a word is used in a sentence, and it helps you remember the word for longer. This means learning vocabulary by reading and listening is more effective than trying to study word lists. It also means that it’s better to make a note of how a word is used in a sentence rather than just the word on its own. ● 5 Researchers have found that you need to see or hear a word on average ten times to remember it. But you learn it much faster when you’re actively using a word. So, besides getting as much exposure to English as you can,take every opportunity to communicate in English with other people. A. Use it or lose it! B. See or hear a word more times. C. New words are usually hard to remember. D. That’s a shocking waste of time and effort! E. It also refers to the situation in which a word is used. F. The act of writing the words helps you remember them better. G. So what can you do to build your English vocabulary quickly and effectively? Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东广州五中·12月段考）A lot of kids and adults say they get nervous during social situations. Maybe it’s speaking up in class or making a phone call or just trying something new. You might feel butterflies in your stomach, or your heart may beat faster or you get suddenly anxious. 1 And if fear of being embarrassed or making a mistake is getting in your way, there are some things you can try on your own to help. 2 Experts agree that avoiding situations that make us anxious can actually make things worse in the long run. Getting out of something you don’t want to do might make you feel better in the moment, but you will still feel anxious the next time you’re asked to do it. Push yourself. While leaving your comfort zone isn’t easy, it can be very good for you. That’s because anxiety tends to go away when you start doing the things that make you anxious. So try to face your anxiety and fear and see what happens. You might find you have the skills to deal with it. 3 Practice a lot. As an experiment, try doing something that makes you nervous. 4 Whatever you do, you’ll find that it gets easier over time. That’s because by practicing the things that make you nervous you are actually improving your ability to easily handle them. Relax yourself. Don’t try to relax by watching television or visiting a website. 5 For example, doing things like yoga can also help you stay calm. A. Being nervous is uncommon B. Don’t avoid something. C. Pay no attention to your thoughts. D. Those things are your body’s reaction(反应) to fear. E. Start with practising little things like answering questions in class. F. Try a deep relaxation that has a physical effect on the mind. G. And next time you’re in that situation you might feel less nervous. Passage 4 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）As a speaker of 10 languages, I know the benefits of speaking more than one language. Actually, it is not a big challenge to learn languages. We only have to change the way we learn them. 1 Language learning is hard. It will be only difficult to learn a language if you don’t want to. 2 What you mostly need to do is spend some time listening and reading. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you will feel the satisfaction of understanding another language. Before you know it you start speaking. 3 No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to learn can succeed. In Sweden and the Netherlands most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted in languages. Foreign athletes in North America usually learn to speak English faster than people in more formal learning environments. In language learning it is attitude that determines success. You have to live where the language is spoken. Some immigrants (移民) to North America never learn to speak more than broken English. Yet we meet people in other countries who speak perfect English. In 1968, I learnt to speak Mandarin fluently while living in San Francisco. 4 You can download it to your cellphone and listen. Where you live is not a problem. I would love to learn but I don’t have the time. How about the time you spend waiting in line, doing things around the house and going for a walk? 5 Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe you will achieve great results, and if you enjoy doing it, as I do, you will find the time. I believe if you can avoid these traps, you will surely become masters of language learning. A. The following are some tips for you to follow. B. You have to have a gift for learning languages. C. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. D. We need to avoid some common misunderstandings. E. Languages can only be learnt instead of being taught. F. Why not use that time to listen to a language on your cellphone? G. With the Internet, language content is available to anyone with a computer. Passage 5 （25-26高一上·广东深圳高级中学·期中）Studies continue to show how important strong friendships are to our overall health.

It’s also important that we’re able to recognize when we make mistakes Passage 6 （25-26高一上·广东广州西关外国语学校·期中）It is never too late to develop good study habits. However, starting making some changes is hard. Even if you want to do well enough in school and improve your grades, you’re probably having trouble getting started in the first place. 1 . Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Make a schedule of your time. Then decide on good, regular time for studying. 2 , but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable and quiet. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. Skim before you read. 3 . As you preview the material, you get some idea of the passage and how it is organised. 4 . Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Taking notes helps you remember what the teacher says. Develop a good attitude to tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. 5 . Tests provide grades, but they also let you know that you need to spend more time studying. There are other skills that might help you with your study.

The world won’t end if you fail, so take it easy E. Your favorite subject opens a new world of knowledge F. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems G. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully Passage 7 （25-26高一上·广东广州中学·期中）Boxing has been practiced for centuries — it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. 1 Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why? The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring. Its help for our body is clear. Whether it’s practicing with a punching (拳打) bag or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an intense form of exercise and give a full-body workout. 2 And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness — allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively affect other aspects of physical well-being, like heart health and weight management. 3 Boxing can also positively affect someone’s mental well-being. Dr. Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can reduce some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and sadness. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of focus. And there is a third benefit to putting on boxing gloves. Practicing punches can be done alone, of course. 4 It also means working with others to train and stay safe. Dr. Gavin Williams, Senior Lecturer in Education at the Open University, says that this teamwork can create a sense of belonging. 5 A. It can improve our body strength. B. But boxing is not just a one-person activity. C. So the teamwork can make our society better. D. So boxing also strengthens a sense of group. E. More recently, boxing has become popular in the UK. F. But the high demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body. G. It develops self-defense skills, helping build confidence to protect oneself. Passage 8 （25-26高一上·广东惠州第一中学-11月·期中）How to be a Better Tourist While Abroad If you want to be a better traveler, here are some tips. Localize your experience. Support local, small, and family-run businesses. Think of the delicious foods, hand-made goods, and experiences that will keep your body dancing for more. Go on free walking trips led by locals who will teach you about history, culture, and all the must-do things in the area. 1 Whether you’re chatting with other travelers or locals around the tour, start a conversation and maybe you’ll end up with some new friends. Select public transportation. Although sometimes it may seem less convenient, choosing public transportation gives you closer access to the local ways of living, seeing your host community from different views, and possibly, reducing your carbon footprint. 2 3 When thinking about how to be a good traveler, an easy way to fit into the local community is to learn the customs and traditions and experience the richness of life in this place which is new for you. Let your life be different here than it is at home. Learn the language. Even if you don’t speak the local language fluently before you arrive, it’s better to at least learn some basic phrases. Put in the good effort, even if you don’t speak the language perfectly. 4 By stepping into a new language in a new location, you can step into a new version of yourself-which is pretty cool when you think about it. Take part in experiential learning. By doing research before you travel abroad, you will be getting yourself ready for some amazing learning chances. Everyone you meet has knowledge and real-life experiences that you can learn from. Everything you do or come across is an opportunity to learn and grow. 5 A. Do as the locals do. B. Take things as they come. C. This can also be an opportunity to meet people. D. It may even become a penny saver in the long run. E. You can record and reflect on your language learning. F. You should keep your mind, heart, and eyes open for new chances. G. Remind yourself that making mistakes is part of learning a language. Passage 9 （25-26高一上·广东执信中学·期中）Studying in a foreign country is an enriching experience that many students dream of. One of the best ways to become deeply involved in the local culture is by living with a host family. Below are some tips on how to live with a host family and make the most of this experience. Be open-minded and adaptable. The first step in successfully living with a host family is to be open-minded and adaptable. Your host family may have different customs. Be ready to accept these differences and try to learn about their culture. 1 For example, if they eat dinner at a certain time every night, plan your activities accordingly. 2 Living with a host family means sharing their living space. It is important to keep your room clean and tidy, be mindful of noise levels, and ask permission before using their things. Also, be sure to follow any rules that your host family has established. Contribute to the household. 3 While they are providing you with a place to live and a sense of family, it is important that you contribute to the household in some way. This could include helping with household chores, cooking meals, or even just spending time with their younger family members. Maintain a balance between independence and dependence. Living with a host family can be a delicate balance between independence and dependence. On the one hand, maintain a level of independence to fully involve yourself in the experience. On the other hand, remember that you are living with a family who may have certain responsibilities for you. 4 Be grateful and show appreciation. Living with a host family is a privilege, and it is important to show appreciation for their hospitality. 5 Small gestures like bringing home a gift or cooking a meal can go a long way toward building a positive relationship with your host family. A. Participate in family activities B. Respect their home and belongings. C. Living with a host family is a two-way street. D. Additionally, be willing to adapt to their routines. E. Finding a balance between these two is key to a successful experience. F. Be open and honest with them about any concerns or issues that may happen. G. Express thanks and offer to help out around the house whenever it is possible. Passage 1 （25-26高一上·广东四校联考·期中）Summer is a fun time to get away from busy work and spend quality time with your family. Research has found that spending quality time with the family benefits both parents and children. 1 Here are some of these activities. 2 The seaside is one of the best places for an outing in summer. You can do many activities with your family there, like walking, swimming and surfing in the sea and playing on the sand. Do enjoy the many recreational opportunities you have. Have a picnic. Going for a picnic with the whole family is always enjoyable. You can get away from the house and enjoy foods together in nature. 3 It is a great time to chat with the family and appreciate the fantastic scenery. Go camping. Having a camping trip with the whole family in state parks is also a good idea. There are many fun things you can do when you go camping. But you need to check on all your camping equipment. And make sure your tents have been put up well enough to resist any weather. 4 Do some hiking. Hiking is an outdoor activity that allows you to be active outside. It’s a great activity to do with the family while on vacation. It will not cost you anything and is ideal for both the younger children and the older ones. 5 A. Visit the beach. B. Walk along the river. C. It is always hard to select appropriate camping places. D. It’s also an activity where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. E. It’s a lot of fun to sit around a campfire and watch the night sky overhead. F. Even spending time doing simple things maybe a wonderful bonding experience. G. You can even go a little further to have a picnic instead of going out to eat nearby. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东多校联考·期中）Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques. 1 Here’re some efficient speed reading techniques. Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word. 2 This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. Keep in mind that you don’t need to read every single word to understand the sentence’s overall meaning. Cover words you’ve already read with a card. When you’re reading, your eyes can move back to earlier words. These are typically short habitual movements that don’t improve understanding or speed. Use a card to cover words right after you’ve read them. 3 Move your eyes less as you read. While reading, your eyes: move, stopping on some words and skipping others. However, you can only comprehend what you’re reading when your eyes stop moving. Learning to move your eyes less can help you read faster.
