Passage 1
(25-26高一上·宁夏青铜峡宁朔中学·期中)Walk of Life
Putting one foot in front of another is simple, convenient and great for body and mind. 1
◆Make it a habit
Set a goal of 30 minutes five days a week. If you walk quickly, this will give you your recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, bringing you better fitness and the mental health benefits of beingoutdoors.
2
◆Warm up and down
Start every walk with five minutes at an easy pace to get your body warmed up and do the same thing again at the end. This allows your heart rate to speed up and slow down gradually.
◆Walk and talk
Stepping out regularly with a partner, friend or family member is much more fun than going it alone. 3 Or make that long catch-up call when you’re out and about.
◆ 4 To keep your walk interesting, increase your pace every ten to 15 minutes and do a three-minute surge. Imagine you’ re trying to catch up with someone ahead. Climb up a hill from time to time for a challenge. To burn fat, do some bursts of fast walking early on in your walk.
◆Climb the stairs instead
5 Fancy a change? You’ll get the same heart health benefits walking up and down stairs for two minutes five times a day as you would get from a longer time spent tramping on a level surface.
A. Vary the pace.
B. Divide your walks.
C. You may be worried about raining.
D. But how do you make the most of every step?
E. It will also inspire you when you’ re not feeling eager.
F. Keep your head straight with eyes forward and shoulders relaxed.
G. Start your day with a walk and you’ll be making sure you find the time to exercise.
【答案】1. D 2. G 3. E 4. A 5. C

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·宁夏银川永宁中学·期中)Getting Along Well with Parents
Parent-child relationship is one of the most important relationships in our growth. But sometimes, we may have small conflicts with our parents because of different ideas. In fact, as long as we master some simple methods, we can make the relationship more harmonious. Here are some practical tips to help you get along better with your parents.
1
When your parents talk to you, put down your phone or books, look them in the eyes, and listen to them carefully until they finish. This shows that you pay attention to what they are saying. Don’t interrupt them halfway or rush to argue. Listening not only helps you understand your parents’ thoughts, but also makes them feel respected.
Take the Initiative to Share Your Life
Parents always care about our daily life, but they may not know how to ask. 2 For example, when you get home, tell them interesting things at school, your interactions with classmates, or small difficulties you meet in study. Taking the initiative to share can shorten the distance between you, making parents feel you are willing to communicate with them instead of shutting them out.
Understand Parents from Another Perspective
Sometimes we feel that parents don’t understand us, but on the other hand, we may not think from their side either. 3 Their requirements may be a bit strict, but their starting point is always to make us better. When you doubt your parents’ actions, try to think: “If I were a parent, what would I do?” This may help reduce many unnecessary conflicts.
Express Your Ideas Politely
If your parents’ ideas are different from yours, don’t lose your temper or resist in silence. 4 For example, use sentences like “Mom/Dad, I know you care about me, but I think…” This way, you show respect for them and clearly express your own views. A polite way of communication is easier for parents to accept your ideas and avoid the escalation of conflicts.
Show Care Through Small Actions
Besides verbal communication, some small actions can also make parents feel your love. 5 For example, take the initiative to help Mom wash the dishes, give Dad a back rub, or say “Happy Birthday” to them on their special day. These little things are simple but can warm their hearts.
A. It’s important to keep calm and talk to them politely.
B. Learn to Listen Carefully.
C. They have more life experience and just want to protect you.
D. You don’t need to do big things to make them happy.
E. So take the first step to share your life with them.
F. Parents are always the people who love us the most in the world.
G. Try to talk to your parents every day, even for a short time.
【答案】1. B 2. E 3. C 4. A 5. D
【解析】【导语】

(比如,回家后和他们讲讲学校里的趣事、和同学的相处日常,或是学习上遇到的小难题。)” 给出了主动分享生活的具体例子。E项“所以,迈出第一步,和他们分享你的生活吧。”承上启下,“so”承接上文父母关心却不知如何询问的现状,“share your life with them”呼应主题句,同时引出下文的具体分享案例,逻辑连贯。故选E。

(他们的要求可能有些严格,但出发点总是为了让我们变得更好。)”进一步解释了父母行为的初衷。C项“他们有着更丰富的人生阅历,只是想保护你。”承接上文,从父母的人生经验和保护子女的角度,阐释了为何要换位思考理解父母,“protect you”与下文“让我们变得更好” 的初衷相契合,符合段落逻辑。故选C。

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·陕西普集高中·期中)There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. 1 Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve also started things off with an achievement. If you think you’re ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run, here are four suggestions from the professionals.
●Find a friend, and be gentle with yourself
Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for, and make it much harder to miss the run. It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning.
2 “Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually starts your day,” says Sheri Piers, top American female finisher at the 2012Boston Marathon.
●Welcome the movement
“The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning. They always are,” says Dr. Jordan Metzl, who has finished over 32 marathons. With a practice of more than 20, 000patients, Metzl’s days are quite packed, so early morning runs are a must. 3 “Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the inspiration will come later,” he says.
●Stay warm
4 “If I go to bed in my sports wear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up.
● 5
“I view waking up early as tearing off a Band-Aid (创可贴),” says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach. “It’s gonna hurt for a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,” she says. “After a few days, you’ll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable.”
A. It has major benefits.
B. Accept and manage the pain.
C. Have a training plan at the beginning.
D. Even if you have a failure or two, keep at it.
E. It’s just like warming up your car in the winter.
F. Still, he knows how hard it can be to get inspired.
G. The worst part is getting changed in the cold air, especially in winter.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. F 4. G 5. B

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·山西三晋联盟山西名校·期中)How Sports Develop Empathy (共鸣)
Sports do more than build physical strength — they develop children’s empathy that lasts a lifetime.
The benefits of teamwork
1 . Whether setting up a goal in soccer or working together in a relay race, kids learn that success depends on teamwork. They begin to appreciate different strengths and roles, which helps them respect different skills and viewpoints, building an empathetic attitude.
2
From winning a championship to losing a close game, sports create emotional bonds (情感纽带). After a tough loss, teammates might share lessons or offer encouragement. These moments teach kids to support each other through highs and lows, strengthening their ability to empathize.
Role models in sports
Athletes often model empathy in action. When a professional player helps an opponent (对手) up or praises a teammate, young fans notice it. Many athletes also support social causes, showing that empathy is beyond the game. Children tend to look up to these figures and learn to care about others. 3 .
Lessons learned through competition
Healthy competition teaches respect for opponents. Kids see the hard work others put in and learn to appreciate their efforts. 4 . For example, a tennis player might praise their opponent after a match, putting respect above competition.
The importance of community involvement (参与)
Local sports teams often take part in community activities, like charity events or neighborhood projects.
5 . Playing with people from different backgrounds also widens their viewpoints, helping them understand and empathize with different life experiences.
A. The power of shared experiences
B. The influence of personal achievements
C. They also make empathy a part of their own behavior
D. Team sports teach children to work together toward a common goal
E. Winning with politeness or losing gracefully strengthens fairness and empathy
F. Empathy improves in environments where kids feel safe to express themselves
G. These experiences show kids how to do their part for something larger than themselves
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. E 5. G

The first day
Looking back, I can’t remember many things on my first day at school in Melbourne. 1 He was the international student coordinator (协调员). And also Selena, an Australian-Vietnamese friend who took me on a school tour.
What I also remember is the “funny” story of wearing a winter jumper on a 30-degree summer day — just because I didn’t want to break the “suggested” uniform (校服) list on my first day! 2 I was so silly.
Adjusting (适应) to life in Australia
The first few months weren’t easy, although I fully prepared beforehand. 3 I couldn’t understand my teachers and communicating in English was a huge problem. It was then that I learned how important it is to always keep learning and adjusting. I developed the habit of always asking questions. 4 I also found it important to be open-minded to maximize (充分利用) my learning experience.
There were many ups and downs in my two years of high school in Melbourne. 5 I couldn’t be prouder of what I achieved and how much I grew as a person.
A. Whenever you get the chance, help others too.
B. I still feel funny when I think of that moment.
C. I had to keep looking things up in the dictionary.
D. But no doubt it was the best experience I ever had.
E. What I do remember though is the welcome I got from Mr. Chow.

(3)题解析:
根据后文“I couldn’t understand my teachers and communicating in English was a huge problem.(我听不懂老师的话,用英语交流是个大问题)”可知,本句主要说明了语言不通给作者带来的麻烦,故C选项“我不得不不停地查字典”符合语境。故选C。
(4)题解析:
根据上文“I developed the habit of always asking questions.(我养成了总是问问题的习惯)”可知,本句与上文为语义上的顺承关系,指出爱问问题的学习习惯给作者带来的好处。G项中的This指代上文中的the habit of always asking questions。G选项“这不仅提高了我的学习成绩,也使我的老师对我的评价更高”符合语境。故选G。
(5)题解析:
根据上文“There were many ups and downs in my two years of high school in Melbourne.(我在墨尔本读高中的两年经历了很多起起落落)”以及后文“I couldn’t be prouder of what I achieved and how much I grew as a person.(我为自己取得的成就和成长感到无比自豪)”可知,本句与上文为转折关系,指出虽然在墨尔本的两年高中生活有许多起起伏伏,但是无疑是自己最好的经历。上文中的ups and downs与D项中的the best experience形成对比。D选项“但毫无疑问,这是我有过的最好的经历”符合语境。故选D。

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·陕西渭南杜桥中学·期中)Four People You Should Surround Yourself with Daily
If you are someone who believes in the philosophy “company matters”, then you must choose the people in your life, very wisely. Often, the people we keep as a company either make us better or ruin our chances of being a better version of ourselves. 1 . Below are some people you should surround yourself with:
The doers
You must have planned lots of things in your head, and you could have even written them down. However, the question is whether you have executed them? In most cases, the answer is no. That is because you lack doers in your life. 2 . Such people are not afraid to risk it all; they are go-getters. So, if you find someone who is a doer, keep them.
The good listeners
It’s very hard to find them, but they certainly exist. Life nowadays is troublesome and we can solve half our problems by just talking it out. But the problem is that people today are so self-engrossed that they hardly want to know what’s happening in others’ lives, and that’s why you need a therapist to hear you out. 3 .
The honest ones
At times, you need people who are brutally honest around you. 4 . These people won’t criticize you, but they will give you a better perspective. It is not okay to have only people who are unwilling, to be honest with you, for reasons such as losing your friendship. You will keep making mistakes.
The cheerleaders
We are referring to all those out there, who cheer the loudest on your achievements. Of course, your family is going to be the happiest or not, but look around you to understand the ones who are genuinely happy for your success. 5 . They send opportunities to your way and applaud the loudest when you make it big.
A. Live life in the presence of nature, take breaks from work and studying, and be happy, be wild, be adventurous
B. Hence, it is important to be very selective of the people you let in your space
C. These sets of people will never push you downhill
D. If they had been there, you would have done what you had always planned to do
E. If you find someone willing to listen to your rants without being judgemental, hold on to them
F. When your friends meet with trouble, you should lend them a hand right away
G. It might sound harsh, but they help you make the right choices in your life
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. E 4. G 5. C
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了“交往的人很重要”这一观点,并介绍了日常生活中应该交往的四种人及其重要性。
(1)题解析:
上文“Often, the people we keep as a company either make us better or ruin our chances of being a better version of ourselves.(通常,我们交往的人要么会让我们变得更好,要么会毁掉我们成为更好自己的机会)”表明交往的人对我们影响很大。B选项“Hence, it is important to be very selective of the people you let in your space.(因此,谨慎选择进入你生活圈子的人很重要)”承接上文,因为交往的人影响大,所以要谨慎选择,上下文逻辑紧密。故选B项。
(2)题解析:
上文“That is because you lack doers in your life.(那是因为你生活中缺少实干者)”指出缺少实干者导致计划无法执行。D选项“If they had been there, you would have done what you had always planned to do.(如果他们在的话,你就会去做你一直计划要做的事)”与上文呼应,说明有了实干者,计划就能得以实施,选项中的“they”指代上文的“doers”。故选D项。
(3)题解析:
上文“Life nowadays is troublesome and we can solve half our problems by just talking it out. But the problem is that people today are so self-engrossed that they hardly want to know what’s happening in others’ lives, and that’s why you need a therapist to hear you out.(如今生活很麻烦,我们只要把事情说出来就能解决一半的问题。但问题是现在的人都太自我,几乎不想知道别人生活中发生了什么,这就是为什么你需要一个倾听者来听你倾诉)”强调了倾听者的重要性。E选项“If you find someone willing to listen to your rants without being judgemental, hold on to them.(如果你找到一个愿意不带评判地听你发牢骚的人,就留住他们)”与上文衔接,进一步说明要珍惜愿意倾听的人。故选E项。
(4)题解析:
上文“At times, you need people who are brutally honest around you.(有时候,你身边需要那些直言不讳的人)”提出需要直言的人。G选项“It might sound harsh, but they help you make the right choices in your life.(这听起来可能很刺耳,但他们能帮助你在生活中做出正确的选择)”解释了直言者的作用,说明虽然他们的话可能刺耳,但对我们有帮助,与上文逻辑一致。故选G项。
(5)题解析:
上文“We are referring to all those out there, who cheer the loudest on your achievements. Of course, your family is going to be the happiest or not, but look around you to understand the ones who are genuinely happy for your success.(我们指的是那些为你的成就欢呼最响亮的人。当然,你的家人可能会为你感到高兴,但看看你周围那些真正为你的成功感到高兴的人)”介绍了为你成就欢呼的人。C选项“These sets of people will never push you downhill.(这些人永远不会把你推向低谷)”说明这类人的积极影响,与上文对这类人的描述相呼应。故选C项。

Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great. 2 A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory (理论), but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences. 3 Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
4 Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive. 5
A. Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally.
B. Thirdly, means of transportation is another big headache.
C. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.
D. Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.
E. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic (策略的) issues.
F. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and fight against anxiety.
G. Above all, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings
【答案】1. F 2. C 3. E 4. D 5. G
【解析】【导语】
这是一篇说明文。研究表明假期帮助我们在工作中表现更好,改善我们的睡眠质量和对抗抑郁,文章主要说明了旅行时一些常见的问题以及如何让假期过得愉快的建议。
(1)题解析:
根据上文“Many of us devote valuable time, energy and money to planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going op vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt.(我们很多人都花了宝贵的时间、精力和金钱来计划我们的假期。我们这样做是因为我们确信度假一定对我们有好处。研究毫无疑问地证明了这种感觉)”可知,上文提到了研究证明了度假对人有一定好处,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文继续说明研究的具体发现,故F选项“假期帮助我们在工作中表现更好,改善我们的睡眠质量和对抗抑郁”符合语境,同时与下文“Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great.( Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK— but not great.)”构成转折关系。故选F。
(2)题解析:
根据上文“Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK— but not great.(然而,尽管有这些好处,我们中的许多人回到家都会觉得上次的假期还不错——但并不好)”以及后文“A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory (理论), but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences.(对于度假计划者来说,一个经典的做法是试图通过计划有太多部分的旅行来充分利用钱。也许你正计划着一趟欧洲之旅,10天内去7个城市,然后你意识到,再增加两个目的地只需要多花一点钱。理论上听起来不错,但从一个地方旅行到另一个地方,几乎没有机会体验心理学家所说的专注度——有时间适应我们的新环境,有时间思考我们的旅行经历)”可知,上文提到有人感觉度假并不好,后文则提到频繁改变旅行地的坏处,可知本句旨在引起下文,指出:为了改变这一点,应该避免一些错误。故C选项“为了改变这一点,应该避免一些错误”符合语境,故选C。
(3)题解析:
根据后文“Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.( 比如如何找到一个好的航班,如何从A地到达B地,或者在我们的旅程中增加或减少哪些目的地。这些问题似乎很重要,但我们的心理状态要重要得多)”可知,后文主要列举了旅行中的另一个问题,且提到了关于交通方式和目的地的规划问题,故E选项“另一个错误是我们过于担心旅行策略问题”符合语境,故选E。
(4)题解析:
根据后文“Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive.(首先,明智地选择旅行伙伴,因为没有什么比合适的伙伴对旅行更有帮助了。其次,为了保持积极的心态,不要把你的假期花在一切都太昂贵的地方)”可知,后文主要提出了两条有助于让假期过得愉快的方法,故D选项“实际上,假期快乐是建立在以下几条原则之上的”符合语境,故选D。
(5)题解析:
根据上文“Secondly, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive.(其次,为了保持积极的心态,不要把你的假期花在一切都太昂贵的地方)”可知,上文提到了假期时购物的问题,指出不要把假期花在一切都太昂贵的地方,故本句承接上文说明正确的购物理念。故G选项“最重要的是,明智地购物,因为有意义的经历比有形财产更能带来幸福”符合语境,故选G。
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·青海西宁大通县第二中学·期中)Family meetings are a good way to improve communication among all family members. To hold a successful family meeting, you need to avoid the following common mistakes.
Giving up too soon. 1 . It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family.
2 . Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. You might take a problem-solving approach by saying, “The house has been pretty messy lately. What can we do about that?”
Letting kids have too much power. While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. 3 . Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters.
Going too far off the topic. Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. 4
Getting into arguments (争吵). 5 . Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once.
A. Turning a meeting into a lecture
B. They always get the better of an argument
C. If your first meeting doesn’t go well, don’t give up
D. Lecturing your children about making too much noise
E. In this case, step in and tell them to get to the main topic
F. Even so, let them know the adults are open to their opinions
G. At times, a family meeting ends up with an endless argument
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. F 4. E 5. G
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了家庭会议需规避的错误做法。
(1)题解析:
由上文“Giving up too soon. (放弃得太早)”可知,本空要说跟“不要放弃”有关的话题,由下文“It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family. (每个人可能都需要一段时间才能逐渐适应家庭会议。但是如果你定期举行并努力改进,你的家庭会议就能对家里的每个人都有帮助)”可知,即使第一次家庭会议不成功,也不要放弃,故C选项“If your first meeting doesn’t go well, don’t give up (如果你的第一次会议进行得不顺利,不要放弃)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
(2)题解析:
由下文“Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. (不要用会议来单独指出某一个人制造了问题,也不要就孩子们的行为方式对他们进行说教)”可知,本空要说跟“不要说教”有关的话题,A选项“Turning a meeting into a lecture (把会议变成说教)”能引出下文,符合题意。故选A。
(3)题解析:
由上文“While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. (虽然你想征求孩子们的意见,但要明确他们在家庭重要事务上,比如是否搬家,没有平等发言权)”和下文“Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters. (那么他们就会知道你很想听听他们对这些事情的想法)”可知,虽然孩子们在家庭重要事务上没有平等发言权,大人们还是要倾听孩子们的意见,本空应对此进行解释。F选项“Even so, let them know the adults are open to their opinions (即便如此,也要让他们知道大人们是愿意倾听他们的意见的)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选F。
(4)题解析:
由上文“Your kids may begin to get off the topic and if you don’t bring the conversation back to the task at hand, you may feel the meeting is pointless. (你的孩子们可能会开始偏离主题,如果你不把谈话带回当前的任务,你可能会觉得这次会议毫无意义)”可知,孩子们可能会偏离主题,故本空要说跟“把谈话带回当前的任务”有关的话题,E选项“In this case, step in and tell them to get to the main topic (在这种情况下,介入并告诉他们回到主题)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
(5)题解析:
由上文“Getting into arguments (争吵)”可知,本空要说跟“争吵”有关的话题,由下文“Family meetings are a great time to introduce socially proper ways to deal with disagreements. If the kids start to argue noisily or someone crosses the line, stop them at once. (家庭会议是介绍社会上处理分歧的恰当方式的好时机。如果孩子们吵吵嚷嚷,或者有人越界了,马上制止他们。)”可知,有时候家庭会议最终会变成争吵,故G选项“At times, a family meeting ends up with an endless argument (有时,家庭会议最终会以无休止的争吵告终)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选G。
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·陕西西安铁一中滨河高级中学·期中)Some people can begin a conversation with anyone ——even complete strangers. 1 . This can be particularly stressful if you have social anxiety disorder (SAD). But even if social small talk is hard for you, possibilities exist to improve your conversational skills and make you feel more comfortable talking with strangers. 2 .
A great way to start a conversation with the people around you is to simply comment on your shared surroundings. 3 . For example, if you are sitting in a lecture hall and notice that your professor looks familiar, you could say to the person next to you, “Doesn’t he look a bit like Harry Potter?”
Keep your comments positive——never mean-spirited or critical. You want the other person to feel comfortable getting in on the joke with you. You could follow up on your previous comment about your professor with something like, “I wonder where Hedwig is?”
4 , which means using this method to start a conversation can be risky. However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship.
If you don’t receive a positive response from one person, the method might work with someone else.
5 . With time, you’ll become more confident and won’t need to rely on tricks to get a conversation started and keep it going.
A. A little humor works great here
B. Here are some ways to help you
C. A good conversation really matters a lot
D. But many others find it difficult to talk to a stranger
E. Humor is difficult with someone you don’t know well
F. The more you practice, the easier it will be to talk to a person you don’t know
G. The more confident you are, the more chance to receive a positive response there will be
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. E 5. F
【解析】【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。介绍在人际交往过程当中如何有效地开启对话并给出一些具体的做法。
(1)题解析:
由上文“Some people can begin a conversation with anyone ——even complete strangers.(有些人可以和任何人——甚至是完全陌生的人——开始对话。)”可知,这里主要讲一些人非常健谈,而D项“But many others find it difficult to talk to a stranger(但许多其他人发现很难与陌生人交谈)”和前一句构成逻辑上的对比关系,同时又引出下文“This can be particularly stressful if you have social anxiety disorder (SAD).(如果你患有社交焦虑症(SAD),这可能会特别有压力。)”。故选D项。
(2)题解析:
由上文“But even if social small talk is hard for you, possibilities exist to improve your conversational skills and make you feel more comfortable talking with strangers. (但是,即使社交闲聊对你来说很难,也有可能提高你的对话技巧,让你在与陌生人交谈时感到更自在。)”可知,这里主要讲你可以去提升你的对话技能。而B项“Here are some ways to help you(这里有一些方法可以帮助你)”符合语境,起到“承上启下,总领下文”的功能。故选B项。
(3)题解析:
由下文“For example, if you are sitting in a lecture hall and notice that your professor looks familiar, you could say to the person next to you, ‘Doesn’t he look a bit like Harry Potter?’(例如,如果你坐在演讲厅里,注意到你的教授看起来很熟悉,你可以对旁边的人说,‘他看起来有点像哈利·波特吗?’)”可知,这里主要举例说明在交谈中使用幽默的作用。而A项“A little humor works great here(一点幽默在这种情形下很有用)”符合语境,和空后所举的例子之间形成明显的例证关系。故选A项。
(4)题解析:
由下文“However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship.(然而,如果你真的找到了一个和你有幽默感的人,这可能是一段伟大友谊的开始。)”以及其中however表转折可知,前一句应讲述一些不能和你分享幽默的人,所以E项“Humor is difficult with someone you don’t know well(和一个你不太了解的人在一起很难幽默)”符合语境,和下句形成对比。故选E项。
(5)题解析:
由上文“If you don’t receive a positive response from one person, the method might work with someone else. (如果你没有收到一个人的积极回应,这种方法可能会适用于其他人。)”可知,这里主要表达的意识是,不要因为一次的失利就气馁,而是要不断的练习,练习越多,和陌生人开启一段谈话就会变得越容易。因此F项“The more you practice, the easier it will be to talk to a person you don’t know(你练习得越多,就越容易与你不认识的人交谈)”符合语境,有承上作用。故选F项。

Passage 8
(25-26高一上·山西大学附属中学·期中)For many people, a desk job means spending hours on end sitting in front of a computer. While this might seem harmless, a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle can lead to many health problems over time. 1 To help reduce these risks and maintain your health, consider including the following practices in your daily routine.
Focus on your posture(姿势).
One of the most effective ways to deal with the negative effects of a desk job is to maintain proper posture and set up your workspace in a body-friendly way. Proper sitting posture means your feet stay flat on the floor with your knees at a 90-degree angle. 2 Your monitor should be at eye level to avoid straining your neck, and your chair should provide enough support to keep your spine upright.
Take movement breaks.
Make it a habit to take movement breaks throughout the day. 3 This can help reduce the effects of sitting all day — plus it can help you feel more focused and energized to be able to get your work done.
4
Going back home after a long day at the office, it’s appealing to kick back and relax — but getting regular exercise is important if you have a sedentary job. Some mild exercise at your living room can make a big difference in your overall health.
Consider a standing desk.
A standing desk can be a game changer for people with sedentary jobs. A standing desk helps with the tiredness associated with prolonged sitting and is beneficial for your body. 5
A. Get frequent exercise at home.
B. Join fitness classes or sports clubs.
C. Your back should be straight with your shoulders relaxed.
D. Set a timer to remind yourself to stand up, stretch, or take a short walk every hour.

Passage 9
(25-26高一上·山西晋中部分学校·期中)Exercise is a key part of staying healthy. 1 If you’re not used to physical activity, start slow. Whenever you work out, always listen to your body’s limits (极限),and ask your doctor for advice if you have a history of any medical problems.
2 Varying your activities can help keep you from getting bored, which can encourage you to stay on track. What’s more, changing your workouts will exercise your whole body and help avoid injury.
Go for bike rides. When you’re just starting off, go for easy bike rides around your neighbourhood or at a park. At first, try cycling for around 3 miles in 30 minutes, then gradually increase your speed and distance. As you get used to being active, try to work your way up to 5 miles in 30 minutes. 3
Start doing yoga. Apart from improving balance and flexibility (平衡与灵活性), yoga can improve concentration and help you keep stress levels in check. You could take classes at a local gym, community centre, or practise at home using online or DVD guides. 4 Adding a social part can make staying active more fun.
Spending most of your day sitting in a desk chair does great harm to your body. Try using a standing desk. If that’s not for you, just do your best to take regular breaks to get up and walk around. 5 Since you’ll need to use your main muscles to keep yourself safe on the ball, it’s a bit like a workout even though you’re seated.
A. Finally, choose to cover 4 miles in 15 minutes.
B. Mix up your everyday exercise to keep things interesting.
C. But finding out how to get more active can be challenging.
D. Taking a group class is a great way to stick with an exercise habit.
E. You could also try sitting on an exercise ball instead of a desk chair.
F. So don’t push yourself too hard if you’re just starting to get more active.
G. Being active for 5 or 10 minutes at a time is a good way to relax yourself into exercise.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. E

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何通过多样化的锻炼方式保持健康,包括缓慢开始、变换活动、骑自行车、做瑜伽、使用站立式办公桌和尝试健身球等方法。
(1)题解析:
上文“Exercise is a key part of staying healthy.(运动是保持健康的关键部分)” 说明运动对健康的重要性。下文“If you’re not used to physical activity, start slow.(如果你不习惯体育锻炼,就慢慢来)”是应对挑战的建议。可知,空处与前文为转折关系,引出“缺乏运动习惯的人开始运动可能面临挑战”的现实情况,为后文“循序渐进、听从身体信号”的建议做铺垫。所以C项“但弄清楚如何变得更活跃可能具有挑战性。”符合语境。C选项中的“finding out how to get more active”与下文中“start slow”,“listen to your body’s limits”相呼应。故选 C。
(2)题解析:
下文“Varying your activities can help keep you from getting bored, which can encourage you to stay on track. What’s more, changing your workouts will exercise your whole body and help avoid injury.(多样化你的运动项目有助于避免枯燥乏味,这能激励你坚持下去。此外,更换运动方式还能锻炼全身,并有助于预防运动损伤)”说明多样化运动的好处。空处是该段主旨句,应概括“运动多样化”的核心观点。所以B项“混合日常运动以保持趣味性”符合语境。B选项中的“Mix up your everyday exercise”与下文中的“Varying your activities” 为同义表达。故选B。
(3)题解析:
上文“As you get used to being active, try to work your way up to 5 miles in 30 minutes.(当你习惯于活跃时,试着在30分钟内骑行5英里)”说明随着锻炼习惯的养成,可以逐渐增加锻炼的强度和距离。空处与前文为顺接关系,应补充骑行进阶的具体目标,且符合“逐步提升”的逻辑。所以A项“最后,选择在15分钟内骑行4英里”符合语境。A 选项中的“Finally”承接前文“At first”,“then”的递进关系,“cover 4 miles in 15 minutes”是骑行强度提升的合理阶段。故选A。
(4)题解析:
上文“You could take classes at a local gym, community centre, or practise at home using online or DVD guides.(你可以在当地的健身房、社区中心上课,或者在家使用在线或DVD指南练习)”说明做瑜伽的方式有多种选择。空处与前文为顺接关系,强调集体上课的优势。下文“Adding a social part can make staying active more fun.(增加社交元素能让运动更有趣)”进一步解释集体课的好处。所以D项“参加团体课程是坚持锻炼习惯的好方法”符合语境。D选项中的“Taking a group class”与上文中的“take classes”相呼应,也同时和下文中的“social part”相呼应。故选D。
(5)题解析:
上文“Try using a standing desk. If that’s not for you, just do your best to take regular breaks to get up and walk around.(尝试使用站立式办公桌。如果这不适合你,就尽量定期休息,站起来四处走走)”说明为了减少久坐的危害,可以采取一些措施。空处与前文为并列关系,补充另一种久坐解决方案。下文“Since you’ll need to use your main muscles to keep yourself safe on the ball, it’s a bit like a workout even though you’re seated.(因为你需要动用主要肌肉来在健身球上保持平衡(确保安全),所以即便坐着,这也有点像在做运动)”解释该方法的原理。所以E项“你也可以尝试坐在健身球上而不是办公椅上”符合语境。E选项中的“sitting on an exercise ball instead of a desk chair”是对前文缓解久坐方法的补充,also体现了逻辑递进,与下文中“use your main muscles to keep yourself safe on the ball”形成解释关系。故选E。
Passage 10
(25-26高一上·陕西多校·期中)Imagine understanding rapid conversation between native speakers, easily following your favorite English podcasts (播客), or knowing exactly what is going on in an important business meeting. 1 .
If you’ve spent hours reading textbooks, memorizing verb changes, and remembering phrases in front of a mirror to learn English, you’ve been doing it wrong. Although these methods are useful in their own way, they’re missing one key point. Your ears. Listening skills form the foundation (基础) of language mastery. You can’t communicate without them. 2 . It’s also about understanding how the voice, feelings, and the context of those words contribute to their meaning.
Learning English by listening helps you understand native speakers and learn how to find important differences in conversations. 3 . Addicting yourself completely to active listening is the only way to build that strong foundation.
4 . Did you start with grammar rules? Of course not. You listened. You understood. You spoke again and again. Now, it’s time to recreate that process with English.
Passive listening is the only problem. When the TV is on but you’re using social media on your phone, that’s passive listening. Or, when you’re in a group conversation but you’re actually thinking about what you’re going to have for dinner. Active listening goes beyond simply hearing the words that another person says. 5 . It’s active listening that will help you become a fluent English speaker.
A. It’s easy but should follow some rules
B. It is achievable through active listening
C. You must know the benefits of active listening
D. Think about how you learned your native language
E. Listening is not just hearing the words someone says
F. It also helps you feel confident in English-speaking environments
G. It’s about digging deeper to work out the meaning behind each word
【答案】1. B 2. E 3. F 4. D 5. G

Passage 12
(25-26高一上·陕西·期中)If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 1 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.
Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 2
Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 3 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.
4 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.
5 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.
There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.
A. You will stick to your diet.
B. Your quality of sleep improves.

(2)题解析: 根据上一句Exercising makes you more awake(锻炼能让你更清醒),E项(你可以在运动后保持头脑清醒4-10个小时。)是对上一句的进一步解释。故选E。
(3)题解析: 空前句子是本段的主题句,晨练是新陈代谢的开始,空后句子说如果晨练,则你会得到卡路里一整天都在燃烧的益处,F项(锻炼之后,你一整天都在燃烧卡路里。)是空后句子的根据,空后句子是对F项的进一步延伸。故选F。

Studying every day comes first. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some linguists (语言学家). Rather than memorize passively for a few hours or review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. 2
Keep things fresh. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much, and 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. 3
4 Talking with English natives, watching English movies or listening to English music whenever you have a chance can also help you unconsciously do better in pronunciation, speech patterns as well as listening.
Writing exercises are a great way to practice. Take 30 minutes at the end of the class or study to write down what happened during your day. 5 By making a habit of writing, you will find your writing skills improve over time.
A. Speak, watch and listen.
B. It is true that you are gifted in writing.
C. It is not easy to learning a new language well.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·青海海东第二中学·期中)How to Host a Book Swap
If you love the written word, you probably have a pile of books somewhere in your home. 1 If you’re becoming alarmed at the price of new books, hold a book swap. The idea is pretty simple Guests bring books to share, and the accumulated books are then redistributed to new owners. If you’ve never held a book swap before, here are a few tips.
Send out invitations. A formal invitation should include the address, date and duration. A 2 to 3 hour party gives everyone a chance to enjoy the time and leave happy. 2 Three books is pretty standard. If you want extras around, don’t set a maximum.
Provide enough space. Some people use one large dining table and start piling up books when they run out of space. 3 They can offer people a chance to consider their selections without having to juggle piles of books while they’re doing it.
4 To make sure guests can find what interests them, the easiest way to do this is to mart sections on the table for specific types of books. When people arrive, hand out a brief set of instructions, asking them to place their books in the right category.
Make it a party. When you’re in the planning stages, think party and you’ll be one step ahead of the game.
5 Create some good interactions with a little background music. Have an area set aside for coats and bags. Remember, you are hosting a party!
A. Organize books by types.
B. Prepare different kinds of books.
C. Offer food that’s easy to eat in a bite or two
D. However, the area around the book table may be small.
E. But there’s always a new book around that interests you.
F. Actually, a couple of tables can take care of the problem.
G. It’s also a good idea to limit the number of books guests bring
【答案】1. E 2. G 3. F 4. A 5. C
【解析】【导语】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何举行一次换书活动。
(1)题解析:
根据上文“If you love the written word. you probably have a pile of books somewhere in your home.(如果你喜欢文字。你家里可能有一堆书)”以及后文“If you’re becoming alarmed at the price of new books, hold a book swap. The idea is pretty simple Guests bring books to share, and the accumulated books are then redistributed to new owners. If you’ve never held a book swap before, here are a few tips.(如果你对新书的价格感到担忧,那就进行一次图书交换。这个想法很简单,客人带着书来分享,然后积累的书被重新分配给新的主人。如果你以前从未举办过换书活动,这里有一些建议)”可知,上文提到了书很多,后文则提到新书价格很贵,推测本句内容应与上文构成转折,指出对新书感兴趣。故E选项“但是总有一本你感兴趣的新书”符合语境,故选E。
(2)题解析:
根据后文“Three books is pretty standard. If you want extras around, don’t set a maximum.(三本书是一个好标准。如果你想要额外的,不要设定上限)”可知,后文提到了三本书的标准,以及书籍的上限问题,可知本句是在说明带书的数量该如何安排。故G选项“限制客人带的书的数量也是个好主意”符合语境,故选G。
(3)题解析:
根据上文“Some people use one large dining table and start piling up books when they run out of space.(有些人使用一张大餐桌,当空间不够时就开始把书堆起来)”以及后文“They can offer people a chance to consider their selections without having to juggle piles of books while they’re doing it.(它们可以让人们有机会考虑自己的选择,而不必在选择时翻阅成堆的书)”可知,本句主要针对上文空间不够的问题,提出解决方案。F选项中a couple of tables对应后文They。故F选项“事实上,几张桌子就能解决问题了”符合语境,故选F。
(4)题解析:
根据本段内容“To make sure guests can find what interests them, the easiest way to do this is to mart sections on the table for specific types of books. When people arrive, hand out a brief set of instructions, asking them to place their books in the right category.(为了确保客人能找到他们感兴趣的书,最简单的方法是在桌子上为特定类型的书划分区域$

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·宁夏银川永宁中学·期中)Getting Along Well with Parents
Parent-child relationship is one of the most important relationships in our growth. But sometimes, we may have small conflicts with our parents because of different ideas. In fact, as long as we master some simple methods, we can make the relationship more harmonious. Here are some practical tips to help you get along better with your parents.
1
When your parents talk to you, put down your phone or books, look them in the eyes, and listen to them carefully until they finish. This shows that you pay attention to what they are saying. Don’t interrupt them halfway or rush to argue. Listening not only helps you understand your parents’ thoughts, but also makes them feel respected.
Take the Initiative to Share Your Life
Parents always care about our daily life, but they may not know how to ask. 2 For example, when you get home, tell them interesting things at school, your interactions with classmates, or small difficulties you meet in study. Taking the initiative to share can shorten the distance between you, making parents feel you are willing to communicate with them instead of shutting them out.
Understand Parents from Another Perspective
Sometimes we feel that parents don’t understand us, but on the other hand, we may not think from their side either. 3 Their requirements may be a bit strict, but their starting point is always to make us better. When you doubt your parents’ actions, try to think: “If I were a parent, what would I do?” This may help reduce many unnecessary conflicts.
Express Your Ideas Politely
If your parents’ ideas are different from yours, don’t lose your temper or resist in silence. 4 For example, use sentences like “Mom/Dad, I know you care about me, but I think…” This way, you show respect for them and clearly express your own views. A polite way of communication is easier for parents to accept your ideas and avoid the escalation of conflicts.
Show Care Through Small Actions
Besides verbal communication, some small actions can also make parents feel your love. 5 For example, take the initiative to help Mom wash the dishes, give Dad a back rub, or say “Happy Birthday” to them on their special day. These little things are simple but can warm their hearts.
A. It’s important to keep calm and talk to them politely.
B. Learn to Listen Carefully.
C. They have more life experience and just want to protect you.
D. You don’t need to do big things to make them happy.
E. So take the first step to share your life with them.
F. Parents are always the people who love us the most in the world.
G. Try to talk to your parents every day, even for a short time.
Passage 3
(25-26高一上·陕西普集高中·期中)There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. 1 Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve also started things off with an achievement. If you think you’re ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run, here are four suggestions from the professionals.
●Find a friend, and be gentle with yourself
Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for, and make it much harder to miss the run. It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning.
2 “Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually starts your day,” says Sheri Piers, top American female finisher at the 2012Boston Marathon.
●Welcome the movement
“The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning. They always are,” says Dr. Jordan Metzl, who has finished over 32 marathons. With a practice of more than 20, 000patients, Metzl’s days are quite packed, so early morning runs are a must. 3 “Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the inspiration will come later,” he says.
●Stay warm
4 “If I go to bed in my sports wear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up.
● 5
“I view waking up early as tearing off a Band-Aid (创可贴),” says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach. “It’s gonna hurt for a bit.” Her advice is relatively simple. “You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,” she says. “After a few days, you’ll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable.”
A. It has major benefits.
B. Accept and manage the pain.
C. Have a training plan at the beginning.
D. Even if you have a failure or two, keep at it.
E. It’s just like warming up your car in the winter.
F. Still, he knows how hard it can be to get inspired.
G. The worst part is getting changed in the cold air, especially in winter.
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·宁夏灵武第一中学·期中)High school is an extremely important period in a teenager’s life, marked by academics (学业), social experiences, and personal growth. It is a time filled with opportunities and challenges that shape the path toward adulthood.
Academics are central to high school life. Students take various subjects. 1 For example, science includes experiments and research, while English classes focus on reading literature and writing practice. Dealing with schoolwork, projects, and exams requires good time management skills, which help students develop problem-solving abilities.
2 High school is a time for self-discovery and setting personal goals. Students begin to explore their interests which can guide their future choices. They start thinking about their future jobs, college choices, and what they want to achieve in life. This period of growth is important for building confidence and preparing for adulthood.
After-school activities play an important role in high school life. Students can join clubs, or arts programs. Clubs like debate team, or chess club allow students to meet like-minded people. Activities like drama or music enable students to express their creativity and perform in the school play. 3
Challenges are also a part of high school life. Students might face pressure, or other problems. 4 Teachers, schoolmates, or friends are a good help. Students will benefit a lot from managing challenges.
Community involvement (参与) is another important part of high school. 5 This involvement not only helps them understand the importance of giving back and being part of a larger community, but also provides practical experience in working with others and solving real-world problems.
A. Make the most of your school education.
B. Each subject comes with its own requirements.

Passage 5
(25-26高一上·山西三晋联盟山西名校·期中)How Sports Develop Empathy (共鸣)
Sports do more than build physical strength — they develop children’s empathy that lasts a lifetime.
The benefits of teamwork
1 . Whether setting up a goal in soccer or working together in a relay race, kids learn that success depends on teamwork. They begin to appreciate different strengths and roles, which helps them respect different skills and viewpoints, building an empathetic attitude.
2
From winning a championship to losing a close game, sports create emotional bonds (情感纽带). After a tough loss, teammates might share lessons or offer encouragement. These moments teach kids to support each other through highs and lows, strengthening their ability to empathize.
Role models in sports
Athletes often model empathy in action. When a professional player helps an opponent (对手) up or praises a teammate, young fans notice it. Many athletes also support social causes, showing that empathy is beyond the game. Children tend to look up to these figures and learn to care about others. 3 .
Lessons learned through competition
Healthy competition teaches respect for opponents. Kids see the hard work others put in and learn to appreciate their efforts. 4 . For example, a tennis player might praise their opponent after a match, putting respect above competition.
The importance of community involvement (参与)
Local sports teams often take part in community activities, like charity events or neighborhood projects.
5 . Playing with people from different backgrounds also widens their viewpoints, helping them understand and empathize with different life experiences.
A. The power of shared experiences
B. The influence of personal achievements
C. They also make empathy a part of their own behavior
D. Team sports teach children to work together toward a common goal
E. Winning with politeness or losing gracefully strengthens fairness and empathy
F. Empathy improves in environments where kids feel safe to express themselves
G. These experiences show kids how to do their part for something larger than themselves
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·陕西商洛山阳中学·期中)School doesn’t have to be a prison. Whether you find school difficult, boring or just stressful, you can learn to make school easier and bring a lot more fun. 1
Try a team sport. Some schools offer team sports that allow you to make friends with your fellow students. Soccer, track and field, basketball and football, can all make school have a little more fun. 2 If you don’t want to play sports, consider joining in the games and cheering for your team with your friends.
3 One of the most stressful parts of school can be making sure you have everything you’re supposed to have. Where’s your English homework? Where’s that math assignment? Is your pencil sharp? The less you have to worry about these little things, the more you’ll be able to focus and enjoy school. Be prepared for class and everything will be easier.
Take it easy on your teachers. Teachers are like students: some are great; some are less than great. But teachers are in charge of the classroom. So even if you’re feeling frustrated or bored in class, you should be nice to your teachers. 4
Ask for help if you are having trouble with homework. 5 Make it easy. Ask for help at school by joining an after-class study group, if your school has one. Ask your teacher if you can stay 10-15 minutes after school to ask a few questions about your homework, if you’re embarrassed to ask during class. It’s always better to ask after class.

C. Here are some ways to help you.

Adjusting (适应) to life in Australia

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·陕西渭南杜桥中学·期中)Four People You Should Surround Yourself with Daily
If you are someone who believes in the philosophy “company matters”, then you must choose the people in your life, very wisely. Often, the people we keep as a company either make us better or ruin our chances of being a better version of ourselves. 1 . Below are some people you should surround yourself with:
The doers
You must have planned lots of things in your head, and you could have even written them down. However, the question is whether you have executed them? In most cases, the answer is no. That is because you lack doers in your life. 2 . Such people are not afraid to risk it all; they are go-getters. So, if you find someone who is a doer, keep them.
The good listeners
It’s very hard to find them, but they certainly exist. Life nowadays is troublesome and we can solve half our problems by just talking it out. But the problem is that people today are so self-engrossed that they hardly want to know what’s happening in others’ lives, and that’s why you need a therapist to hear you out. 3 .
The honest ones
At times, you need people who are brutally honest around you. 4 . These people won’t criticize you, but they will give you a better perspective. It is not okay to have only people who are unwilling, to be honest with you, for reasons such as losing your friendship. You will keep making mistakes.
The cheerleaders
We are referring to all those out there, who cheer the loudest on your achievements. Of course, your family is going to be the happiest or not, but look around you to understand the ones who are genuinely happy for your success. 5 . They send opportunities to your way and applaud the loudest when you make it big.
A. Live life in the presence of nature, take breaks from work and studying, and be happy, be wild, be adventurous
B. Hence, it is important to be very selective of the people you let in your space
C. These sets of people will never push you downhill
D. If they had been there, you would have done what you had always planned to do
E. If you find someone willing to listen to your rants without being judgemental, hold on to them
F. When your friends meet with trouble, you should lend them a hand right away
G. It might sound harsh, but they help you make the right choices in your life
Passage 4
(25-26高一上·陕西西安西光中学·期中)Many of us devote valuable time, energy and money to planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going op vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. 1
Yet, although those are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great. 2 A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory (理论), but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences. 3 Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
4 Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive. 5
A. Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally.
B. Thirdly, means of transportation is another big headache.
C. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.
D. Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.
E. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic (策略的) issues.
F. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and fight against anxiety.
G. Above all, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·青海西宁大通县第二中学·期中)Family meetings are a good way to improve communication among all family members. To hold a successful family meeting, you need to avoid the following common mistakes.
Giving up too soon. 1 . It may take some time for everyone to grow comfortable with family meetings. But if you hold them regularly (定期) and try to make them better, your meetings can become helpful to everyone in the family.
2 . Don’t use your meetings to single out one person for creating a problem and don’t lecture (说教) the kids about the way they act. You might take a problem-solving approach by saying, “The house has been pretty messy lately. What can we do about that?”
Letting kids have too much power. While you want to ask for the kids’ opinions, make it clear that they don’t have equal say in important family matters, like whether you’re going to move. 3 . Then they know you are interested in hearing their thoughts on the matters.

Passage 6
(25-26高一上·陕西西安铁一中滨河高级中学·期中)Some people can begin a conversation with anyone ——even complete strangers. 1 . This can be particularly stressful if you have social anxiety disorder (SAD). But even if social small talk is hard for you, possibilities exist to improve your conversational skills and make you feel more comfortable talking with strangers. 2 .
A great way to start a conversation with the people around you is to simply comment on your shared surroundings. 3 . For example, if you are sitting in a lecture hall and notice that your professor looks familiar, you could say to the person next to you, “Doesn’t he look a bit like Harry Potter?”
Keep your comments positive——never mean-spirited or critical. You want the other person to feel comfortable getting in on the joke with you. You could follow up on your previous comment about your professor with something like, “I wonder where Hedwig is?”
4 , which means using this method to start a conversation can be risky. However, if you do find someone who shares your sense of humor, it can be the start of a great friendship.
If you don’t receive a positive response from one person, the method might work with someone else.
5 . With time, you’ll become more confident and won’t need to rely on tricks to get a conversation started and keep it going.
A. A little humor works great here
B. Here are some ways to help you
C. A good conversation really matters a lot
D. But many others find it difficult to talk to a stranger
E. Humor is difficult with someone you don’t know well
F. The more you practice, the easier it will be to talk to a person you don’t know
G. The more confident you are, the more chance to receive a positive response there will be
Passage 7

Passage 8
(25-26高一上·山西大学附属中学·期中)For many people, a desk job means spending hours on end sitting in front of a computer. While this might seem harmless, a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle can lead to many health problems over time. 1 To help reduce these risks and maintain your health, consider including the following practices in your daily routine.
Focus on your posture(姿势).
One of the most effective ways to deal with the negative effects of a desk job is to maintain proper posture and set up your workspace in a body-friendly way. Proper sitting posture means your feet stay flat on the floor with your knees at a 90-degree angle. 2 Your monitor should be at eye level to avoid straining your neck, and your chair should provide enough support to keep your spine upright.
Take movement breaks.
Make it a habit to take movement breaks throughout the day. 3 This can help reduce the effects of sitting all day — plus it can help you feel more focused and energized to be able to get your work done.
4
Going back home after a long day at the office, it’s appealing to kick back and relax — but getting regular exercise is important if you have a sedentary job. Some mild exercise at your living room can make a big difference in your overall health.
Consider a standing desk.
A standing desk can be a game changer for people with sedentary jobs. A standing desk helps with the tiredness associated with prolonged sitting and is beneficial for your body. 5
A. Get frequent exercise at home.
B. Join fitness classes or sports clubs.
C. Your back should be straight with your shoulders relaxed.
D. Set a timer to remind yourself to stand up, stretch, or take a short walk every hour.
E. Good posture can prevent discomfort and reduce the risk of developing back issues.

Passage 9
(25-26高一上·山西晋中部分学校·期中)Exercise is a key part of staying healthy. 1 If you’re not used to physical activity, start slow. Whenever you work out, always listen to your body’s limits (极限),and ask your doctor for advice if you have a history of any medical problems.
2 Varying your activities can help keep you from getting bored, which can encourage you to stay on track. What’s more, changing your workouts will exercise your whole body and help avoid injury.
Go for bike rides. When you’re just starting off, go for easy bike rides around your neighbourhood or at a park. At first, try cycling for around 3 miles in 30 minutes, then gradually increase your speed and distance. As you get used to being active, try to work your way up to 5 miles in 30 minutes. 3
Start doing yoga. Apart from improving balance and flexibility (平衡与灵活性), yoga can improve concentration and help you keep stress levels in check. You could take classes at a local gym, community centre, or practise at home using online or DVD guides. 4 Adding a social part can make staying active more fun.
Spending most of your day sitting in a desk chair does great harm to your body. Try using a standing desk. If that’s not for you, just do your best to take regular breaks to get up and walk around. 5 Since you’ll need to use your main muscles to keep yourself safe on the ball, it’s a bit like a workout even though you’re seated.
A. Finally, choose to cover 4 miles in 15 minutes.
B. Mix up your everyday exercise to keep things interesting.
C. But finding out how to get more active can be challenging.
D. Taking a group class is a great way to stick with an exercise habit.
E. You could also try sitting on an exercise ball instead of a desk chair.
F. So don’t push yourself too hard if you’re just starting to get more active.
G. Being active for 5 or 10 minutes at a time is a good way to relax yourself into exercise.
Passage 10
(25-26高一上·陕西多校·期中)Imagine understanding rapid conversation between native speakers, easily following your favorite English podcasts (播客), or knowing exactly what is going on in an important business meeting. 1 .
If you’ve spent hours reading textbooks, memorizing verb changes, and remembering phrases in front of a mirror to learn English, you’ve been doing it wrong. Although these methods are useful in their own way, they’re missing one key point. Your ears. Listening skills form the foundation (基础) of language mastery. You can’t communicate without them. 2 . It’s also about understanding how the voice, feelings, and the context of those words contribute to their meaning.
Learning English by listening helps you understand native speakers and learn how to find important differences in conversations. 3 . Addicting yourself completely to active listening is the only way to build that strong foundation.
4 . Did you start with grammar rules? Of course not. You listened. You understood. You spoke again and again. Now, it’s time to recreate that process with English.
Passive listening is the only problem. When the TV is on but you’re using social media on your phone, that’s passive listening. Or, when you’re in a group conversation but you’re actually thinking about what you’re going to have for dinner. Active listening goes beyond simply hearing the words that another person says. 5 . It’s active listening that will help you become a fluent English speaker.
A. It’s easy but should follow some rules
B. It is achievable through active listening
C. You must know the benefits of active listening
D. Think about how you learned your native language
E. Listening is not just hearing the words someone says
F. It also helps you feel confident in English-speaking environments
G. It’s about digging deeper to work out the meaning behind each word

Passage 14
(25-26高一上·宁夏银川一中·期中)It can be a challenge to learn a new language like English. 1 Here are some tips to help you become a better English learners.
Studying every day comes first. Learning any new language is a time-consuming process, more than 300 hours according to some linguists (语言学家). Rather than memorize passively for a few hours or review once or twice a week, most experts say short, regular study sessions are more effective. 2
Keep things fresh. Instead of focusing on one single task for the entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much, and 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. 3
4 Talking with English natives, watching English movies or listening to English music whenever you have a chance can also help you unconsciously do better in pronunciation, speech patterns as well as listening.
Writing exercises are a great way to practice. Take 30 minutes at the end of the class or study to write down what happened during your day. 5 By making a habit of writing, you will find your writing skills improve over time.

B. It is true that you are gifted in writing.

Those muscle pains on the road may have a lot to do with your water intake. Considering that our bodies are mostly water, hydration is important for proper circulation. Your access to drinking water may be limited while traveling, so it’s important to plan ahead. 3 So pack a reusable water bottle and, if you’re driving, don’t forget to bring a cooler with water.
4
Studies regarding the health dangers of long-time sitting are beyond count, yet few people seem to make an effort to avoid it while traveling. Break up long hours of sitting by taking advantage of opportunities to stand and walk around whenever possible. When traveling by air, take a walk around your terminal. When traveling by car, find a park or even a mall on your route where you can get out and take a 10-minute walk.

The idea is pretty simple Guests bring books to share, and the accumulated books are then redistributed to new owners. If you’ve never held a book swap before, here are a few tips.
Send out invitations. A formal invitation should include the address, date and duration. A 2 to 3 hour party gives everyone a chance to enjoy the time and leave happy. 2 Three books is pretty standard. If you want extras around, don’t set a maximum.
Provide enough space. Some people use one large dining table and start piling up books when they run out of space. 3 They can offer people a chance to consider their selections without having to juggle piles of books while they’re doing it.
4 To make sure guests can find what interests them, the easiest way to do this is to mart sections on the table for specific types of books. When people arrive, hand out a brief set of instructions, asking them to place their books in the right category.

(25-26高一上·陕西西安高新第一中学·期中)Loving Yourself
It might seem easier to love others than to love yourself, but it’s tough to build healthy relationships if you don’t love yourself first. 1 . Read on to learn some strategies to love yourself.
Accept your flaws (瑕疵) as part of who you are.
Everything you’ve done and everywhere you’ve been is a part of who you are—you! 2 . Instead, accept that they’re all parts of the same whole. When you love yourself, you love all of you because you wouldn’t have the good without the bad.
Focus on your effort rather than the result to avoid perfectionism.
If you expect yourself to be perfect all the time, you’ll never be pleased with anything you produce. 3 . Focus on the effort you put into completing a task rather than looking for flaws in what you produced.
4 .
It’s human nature to see negative things as bigger and more important than positive things, but this also does great damage to your self-respect.

This habit will help you feel good when bad things happen to you.
Reward (奖励) yourself for your achievement.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·青海西宁第二中学·期中)Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is unbelievably effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters very low. The pleasure on receiving them is very high. 1
Doug Conant, manager of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank you letters. He said that every day he works with an assistant, searching the company for people deserving thanks. 2 Over the past 10 years he has sent 30, 000 thank-you letters to his employees — more than 10 each day. The reward is huge: his company has remained one of the most successful in its field for years.
3 There seem to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives (主管) running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. 4 Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a few words of appreciation.
In these days of such busy schedules and people running all over the place and trying to get ahead, sometimes we forget the simplest things in life are the most powerful and rewarding. You need to think to yourself about a time someone sent you a thank-you and how much it meant to you. 5
A. He then writes them a thank-you letter.
B. Why are thank-you letters so important?
C. You may ask what side effects exactly mean.
D. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.
E. But if these letters are so inspiring, why don’t more managers write them?
F. Always remember to “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you!”
G. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves.
Passage 5
(25-26高一上·宁夏吴忠盐池中学·期中)Recycling(回收利用) has become more and more important in our efforts to protect the environment. While you may work hard to group, reuse, and repurpose, it can be sad when your efforts seem fruitless because of your neighbors’ carelessness. 1 However, using these ways can help encourage your neighbors to take action:
·Make recycling easy: add bins(垃圾桶) to your area.
The best way to get people to do something is to make it easy for them. Place recycling bins next to trash cans in busy areas such as parks and parking lots. Try using bins with different colors. 2 Check with your local disposal service; they may offer free bins to your neighbors and regular pickup services.
· 3
Organize an activity to bring the community together while teaching them about the advantages of recycling. Explain how developing these small habits can help our planet. Try creating clear rules explaining local rules to homes and businesses. This can help neighbors who are unsure about which materials they can recycle or how to group them properly.
·Reward(奖励) people who recycle.
To encourage participation(参与), offer rewards for recycling efforts. Organize a friendly competition between neighborhoods or streets, and record recycling rates over a month. Encourage teams to collect lights, plastic bottles, glass bottles, and jars. To increase the competition, create a leaderboard that’s updated weekly and shown to the community. 4
·Start small, make a big difference. 5 Start with one or two of these ideas and build from there. As more people join, your community’s influence will grow. Together, we can create cleaner neighborhoods and a healthier planet.
A. Educate your community.
B. Remember, changing habits takes time.
C. Reward the area with the most people recycling.
D. A good habit can lead to a more successful life.
E. This can keep participants encouraged throughout the month.
F. It helps your neighbors quickly know where to put different wastes.
G. Getting your community to understand why we should recycle isn’t simple.
Passage 6
(25-26高一上·山西·期中)When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. 1 Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively.
2 Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes. For instance, translating “my wife is gluten-free (不能吃面筋)” into French or Italian as “my wife is without gluten” misses the intended meaning: However, competitors offer better alternatives. 3 It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.
While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. 4
As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs.
5 Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.
A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.
B. And they prefer the convenience of AI.
C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation.
D. Travel has long been a motivator for study.
E. Despite this, the social significance of language remains.
F. This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology.
G. ChatGPT stands out by creating natural-sounding paraphrases.
Passage 7
(25-26高一上·宁夏回族自治区石嘴山市第一中·期中)Brain breaks are short, physical activities that, when placed in periods of study, can help improve students’ attention, efficiency, enjoyment and creativity. 1 You can just do a set of jumping jacks (伸展跳跃) or high knees before going back to schoolwork — at home or at school.
In the classroom, teachers might use brain breaks from a kids’ fitness program like GoNoodle or HOPSports. These short physical activities, which are often set in cheerful music, encourage kids to move around and reset their brains so that they can better concentrate on their studies. 2 Periodic bursts of exercise can reduce stress and school-related frustration (沮丧), clearing the way back to learning.
At home, you can use brain breaks in much the same way as teachers do. If your child is struggling with homework, whether this is because of trying to understand challenging material or simply staying on a task, have them do one or two of these activities. They’re a simple way to fight frustration and boredom while improving focus. 3
Research shows that shorter breaks are more effective for many kids, with younger kids maxing out (达到最高极限) after about 10 minutes and older kids lasting up to a half-hour or more. 4 So choose activity break timing according to your child’s specific needs, attention span, and learning style. And create a reliable schedule with timed activities that won’t take up too much time meant for study.
5 Make it clear to your kid how long the brain breaks and schoolwork will last. This system gives your child structure (周密安排) and can make study and doing activities more fun and exciting.
A. Tell your child in advance.
B. These breaks can be very simple.
