It’s also important to know why you’re setting them in the first place. 1 Here are some tips to help you develop good goal-setting habits. 2 You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals if they come from a healthy, actual attitude. If your goal is to develop better eating habits, for instance, you will have a greater chance of success if your motivation is to feel healthier and more energetic, rather than to look good for your upcoming high school reunion. Create a realistic plan. Any goal-setting plan should be realistic — and non-negotiable, except in the case of an emergency or risk. “If your goal is to get regular exercise, set a plan for what activity you’ll do and how much time or distance you will cover each day,” says Wallin. 3 . Just do it. Reward yourself for achieving your goals. This positive reward can help train your brain to keep healthy habits. A reward helps your brain decide whether or not this behavior is worth repeating. 4 Maybe treating yourself to a cup of coffee after a workout gym session. Have an action plan for potential difficulties. 5 Prepare for some discomfort when you're trying to change your behaviour. Forgive yourself, but don’t make excuses. Figure out what has been standing in your way, and then revise your plan accordingly. If you're struggling to recognize barriers, consider seeking advice from a family member, friend, or expert. A．What does that look like? B．Understand your potential. C．Set a goal for your right reasons. D．Even the best-laid plans can go off the tracks. E．Goal-setting is a significant step in achieving success. F．Then, when it’s time to exercise, don’t make any excuses. G．You are more likely to stick to your goals when you are really motivated. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．F 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍培养良好目标设定习惯的几条实用建议，助力高效达成目标。 1．根据上文“Setting goals is not just about knowing how to set them. It’s also important to know why you’re setting them in the first place.(设定目标不仅仅是要知道如何设定，首先知道自己为什么要设定这些目标也很重要)”以及下文“Here are some tips you can help develop good goal-setting habits.(这里有一些可以帮助你培养良好目标设定习惯的建议)”可知，此处应承接上文，强调设定目标的重要性，引出下文的建议。E选项“Goal-setting is a significant step in achieving success.(设定目标是取得成功的重要一步)”既呼应了上文的目标设定话题，又能自然引出下文的具体建议，符合语境。故选E项。 2．根据下文“You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals if they come from a healthy, actual attitude. If your goal is to develop better eating habits, for instance, you will have a greater chance of success if your motivation is to feel healthier and more energetic, rather than to look good for your upcoming high school reunion.(如果你的目标源于健康、真实的态度，你更有可能实现它。例如，如果你的目标是养成更好的饮食习惯，那么如果你的动机是让自己感觉更健康、更有活力，而不是为了在即将到来的高中同学聚会上看起来好看，你成功的几率会更大)”可知，该段主要强调设定目标要基于正确的动机和理由。C选项“Set a goal for your right reasons.(基于正确的理由设定目标)”能够概括该段主旨，符合语境。故选C项。 3．根据上文“If your goal is to get regular exercise, set a plan for what activity you’ll do and how much time or distance you will cover each day,” says Wallin.(沃林说：“如果你的目标是规律锻炼，那就制定一个计划，明确每天要做什么运动，运动多长时间或多远距离。”)”以及下文“Just do it.(只要（按计划）去做)”可知，此处应承接上文的制定计划，引出下文的付诸行动，强调不要找借口。F选项“Then, when it’s time to exercise, don’t make any excuses.(那么，到了该锻炼的时候，就不要找任何借口了)”既衔接了上文的锻炼计划，又与下文的“Just do it”相呼应，符合语境。故选F项。 4．根据上文“A reward helps your brain decide whether or not this behavior is worth repeating.(奖励有助于你的大脑判断这种行为是否值得重复)”以及下文“Maybe treating yourself to a cup of coffee after a workout gym session.(也许可以在健身房锻炼完后犒劳自己一杯咖啡)”可知，此处应提出疑问，引出下文的奖励示例。A选项“What does that look like?(具体是什么样的呢？)”能衔接上下文，符合语境。故选 A 项。 5．根据上文“Have an action plan for potential difficulties.(为潜在的困难制定一个行动计划)”以及下文“Prepare for some discomfort when you're trying to change your behaviour.(当你试图改变自己的行为时，要做好承受一些不适的准备)”可知，此处应强调即使计划再完善也可能出现意外。D选项“Even the best-laid plans can go off the tracks.(即使是制定得最好的计划也可能偏离轨道)”既呼应了上文的潜在困难，又能引出下文的应对准备，符合语境。故选D项。 Passage 2 I always loved spending time with my great-grandmother. Mabel Wells, or Memmie to our family, was born in 1909, at a time when the Titanic was being built and World War I was still five years away. Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe. 1 But to me, she was just Memmie. When I was little, I knew that Memmie was old. It wasn’t her aging hands that gave her away; it was her confidence and straight-talk. 2 Sometimes I felt a bit afraid, yet I still knew she loved me. My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室). 3 I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find. We read Reader’s Digest, and as I tried on dresses with white dress gloves that smelled like mothballs (樟脑丸), I was connected to a different time. Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her. 4 Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” Huh. 5 Always truthful and to the point. Sadly she left us later that year. Growing up, I watched my great-grandmother live with such a deep acceptance of the present. It’s a gift she has passed on, and one I try to remember every day. A．Everyone in her tiny town admired her. B．We sat next to her, waiting to take notes. C．She always said exactly what she thought. D．I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie. E．She had no deep understanding of history of times past. F．This freedom to nose around was like her way of saying “I love you”. G．I remember wondering what her life looked like when she was a teenager. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．F 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了与直言不讳、心怀豁达的曾祖母Memmie的相处点滴，抒发对她的怀念与敬爱，传递了她所传承的“接纳当下、少忧从容”的人生智慧。 1．上文“Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe.(Mabel女士既从事农业工作，又养育了三个孩子，同时还抽空经营着一家咖啡馆)”描述曾祖母的人生经历（务农、养三个孩子、开咖啡馆），体现她的能干；结合下文“But to me, she was just Memmie.(但对我来说，她不过就是Memmie而已)”推知，此空阐述他人对她的评价，A选项“Everyone in her tiny town admired her.(小镇所有人都敬佩她)”既呼应了她的人生成就，又通过“他人视角”衬托出她的人格魅力，逻辑过渡自然。故选A。 2．上文“When I was little, I knew that Memmie was old. It wasn’t her aging hands that gave her away; it was her confidence and straight-talk.(小时候，我就知道Memmie年纪很大了。暴露她年纪的不是那双布满岁月痕迹的手，而是她那份自信与直言不讳的性情)”提到曾祖母的性格特点是自信、直言不讳；下文“Sometimes I felt a bit afraid, yet I still knew she loved me.(有时候我会有点害怕，但我依然知道她是爱我的)”作者提到有时会有点害怕Memmie；C选项“She always said exactly what she thought.(她向来直言不讳，心里怎么想就怎么说)”承接上文的性格描述，是对“straight-talk”的具体阐释，同时又为后文“我感到害怕”提供合理原因，逻辑连贯。故选C。 3．上文“My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室).(我和姐姐可以自由翻看曾祖母的地下室)”以及下文“I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find.(我打开抽屉，10岁的我兴奋得心跳加速，想知道我能找到什么宝藏)”描述了作者可以自由翻曾祖母地下室以及翻找东西过程中的兴奋；F选项“This freedom to nose around was like her way of saying “I love you”.(这份允许我们四处探寻的自由，就如同她在诉说“我爱你”)”阐述了曾祖母所给予翻找东西的自由对作者的意义，既解释了曾祖母允许孩子翻找私人物品的初衷（表达爱），又呼应后文“我感受到的兴奋与亲近”，情感衔接紧密；选项中“This freedom”指代上文“were free to dig through Memmie’s basement”。故选F。 4．上文“Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her.(Memmie一直是我认识的年纪最大的人，我和姐姐总想弄明白她长寿健康的秘诀。“肯定是她小时候吃的那些有机蔬菜，”姐姐说。我却不这么认为。后来有一天，我们决定直接问她。我们坐在她身边，还特意等着记笔记。)”以及下文“Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” (她毫不犹豫地说：“别想那么多烦心事。”)”可知，作者姐妹对曾祖母长寿的秘诀非常感兴趣，空处应描述问问题时的场景；B选项“We sat next to her, waiting to take notes.(我们坐在她身边，等着记笔记)”符合“探寻秘密”的认真态度，体现出对答案的期待，为后文令人意外的简短回答做铺垫,符合语境。故选B。 5．前文“Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” (她毫不犹豫地说：“别想那么多烦心事。”)”是曾祖母对长寿秘诀的简短回答，下文“Always truthful and to the point.(总是实话实说，切中要害)”作者评价她“总是坦诚且直言不讳”，此空需衔接作者对曾祖母所给答案的反应；D选项“I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie.(我本期待一个更复杂的答案，但这就是Memmie)”既表达了“意外感”（与上文中的“Huh”呼应），又通过“but this was Memmie”引出后文对她性格的总结，逻辑闭环。故选D。 Passage 3 How to Manage Anxiety Many people feel nervous in social situations or crowded places. But for some, this isn’t just short-term worry — it’s an anxiety disorder. This serious condition can harm one’s life and relationships. 1 . The first strategy is to “do it badly.” People often put tasks off because they fear not being perfect. This eagerness of perfection can make people upset. 2 . It speeds up your decision-making and helps you start acting. As you begin, you’ll often find things are not as bad as you feared. 3 . People with anxiety tend to be their own worst critics (评论家), continuously focusing on their mistakes. Therefore, it’s important to learn to be kinder to yourself. Forgive yourself for past errors or social awkwardness. This self-compassion is the first step toward recovery. Another important strategy is to find purpose in helping others. We cannot be fully happy until we know that someone else needs us. Doing something with someone else in mind gives you a “why” to keep going. 4 . Knowing you are making a difference provides a powerful sense of meaning and can carry you through difficult times. By adopting these coping strategies — taking action without pressure, being kind to yourself, and helping others — you can take charge of your anxiety. Each small step you take builds confidence and reduces worry. 5 , but with practice, you will see meaningful improvements in your mental well-being. Finally, you have the power to lead a calmer, more fulfilling life. A．Remember that progress takes time B．Forgiving yourself also matters a lot C．Everyone has a strong desire to become perfect D．While it can be alarming, there are practical ways to overcome it E．This could be voluntary activities or sharing knowledge with others F．So instead of worrying if it’s good or bad, why not just jump in and do it G．However, the good news is that these skills can be learned to overcome anxiety 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．B 4．E 5．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了应对焦虑的实用策略。 1．上文“This serious condition can harm one’s life and relationships. (这种严重的疾病可能会损害人的生活和人际关系)”说明了焦虑障碍的负面影响，下文介绍了几个应对策略。D选项“虽然这可能令人震惊，但有切实可行的方法来克服它”承上启下，既承接了焦虑的危害，又引出下文的解决方法，符合语境。故选D。 2．上文“People often put tasks off because they fear not being perfect. This eagerness of perfection can make people upset. (人们常因害怕不完美而拖延任务，这种追求完美的渴望会让人不安)”提到完美主义导致的问题，下文“It speeds up your decision-making and helps you start acting. (它能加快你的决策速度，帮助你开始行动)”说明行动的好处。F选项“所以与其担心好坏，不如直接投入去做”承接上文的“完美焦虑”，引出下文的行动建议，符合语境。故选F。 3．下文“Therefore, it’s important to learn to be kinder to yourself. Forgive yourself for past errors or social awkwardness. (因此，学会善待自己很重要。原谅自己过去的错误或社交尴尬)”强调善待、原谅自我的重要性。B选项“原谅自己也很重要”是该段的主旨句，是一项应对焦虑的策略，概括了“自我关怀”的核心，符合语境。故选B。 4．上文“Another important strategy is to find purpose in helping others. (另一个重要策略是在帮助他人中找到目标)”提出“帮助他人”的方法，下文“Knowing you are making a difference provides a powerful sense of meaning and can carry you through difficult times. (知道自己正在做出改变会给你一种强大的意义感，并能让你度过困难时期)”说明帮助他人的作用。E选项“这可以是志愿活动或与他人分享知识”是“帮助他人”的具体例子，符合本段主题，符合语境。故选E。 5．下文“but with practice, you will see meaningful improvements in your mental well-being. Finally, you have the power to lead a calmer, more fulfilling life. (但通过练习，你会看到心理健康的显著改善。最后，你有能力过一种更平静、更充实的生活)”体现了“进步需要花时间练习”的逻辑，A选项“记住进步需要时间”与下文的“but”形成转折，说明过程虽慢但会有改善，符合语境。故选A。 Passage 4 Shakespeare once wrote: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan (借款) often loses both itself and friend”. It is often used as a warning about the dangers of lending. 1 If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash, it can be very difficult to turn them away. 2 And if that money doesn’t come back, it can lead to fights or even legal battles. So how can we, as the lender, avoid these problems? According to Bradley T. Koontz, an expert in psychology (心理学), there are some steps you can take. Understanding why there is an unavoidable risk of lending anything to a friend is the first thing. And it’s not just the risk of losing the money, but the friendship could also be in danger. 3 The lender becomes the one in control, while the borrower may feel uncomfortable with the new situation. Similarly, if you try to advise them on what to do with the money, it might make things difficult between you two. In other words, let go — and see it as their money. 4 Saying ‘no’ is hard when a friend comes asking, but if you need that money, refusing is probably the best choice. If you still want to lend, making a formal agreement and writing everything down can help make sure the money is paid back on time. But some friends may not like being asked to sign something — seeing it as a lack of trust. Finally, for some, it’s best to just see the money as a gift and be pleasantly surprised if something comes back. And if you do want to keep your friendship safe, when you need to borrow some money, what should you do? 5 A．You feel under pressure to help. B．Perhaps a bank is a better option. C．Lending money is a good way to test a friend. D．And if you can’t afford to lend something, don’t. E．The friend might feel unhappy and end the relationship. F．This is because lending has changed the balance of power. G．But why can lending money be so harmful to our friendships? 【答案】1．G 2．A 3．F 4．D 5．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章以莎士比亚关于借贷的名言引出借贷可能危害友谊的话题，指出借给亲友钱难以拒绝且易引发问题，随后通过心理学专家的观点给出贷方规避风险的建议，最后简要提及借方为维系友谊应采取的做法。 1．上文“It is often used as a warning about the dangers of lending. (它常被用作对借贷风险的警示。)”说明莎士比亚的名言是对借贷风险的提醒。G项“但为什么借钱会对我们的友谊造成如此大的伤害呢？”通过“but”转折，由借贷风险具体聚焦到“对友谊的伤害”这一核心，既承接上文警示，又引出下文对该问题的展开论述。故选G。 2．上文“If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash, it can be very difficult to turn them away. (如果我们的朋友或家人来找我们借现金，我们很难拒绝。)”说明面对亲友借钱难以拒绝的情况。A项“你会感到有帮助他们的压力。”解释了“难以拒绝”的原因——心理上的帮助压力，且后文“And if that money doesn’t come back, it can lead to fights or even legal battles. (如果钱收不回来，可能会引发争执甚至法律纠纷。)”承接该情况可能带来的后果，逻辑连贯。故选A。 3．上文“And it’s not just the risk of losing the money, but the friendship could also be in danger. (这不仅有损失金钱的风险，友谊也可能陷入危险。)”说明借贷对友谊有威胁，后文“The lender becomes the one in control, while the borrower may feel uncomfortable with the new situation. (贷方成为掌控者，而借方可能对这种新情况感到不适。)”具体描述了借贷后双方关系的变化。F项“这是因为借贷改变了权力平衡。”作为中间衔接，解释了借贷威胁友谊的原因，且“权力平衡改变”与后文“贷方掌控、借方不适”的表述一致。故选F。 4．下文“Saying ‘no’ is hard when a friend comes asking, but if you need that money, refusing is probably the best choice. (当朋友来借钱时，说‘不’很难，但如果你需要那笔钱，拒绝可能是最好的选择。)”强调在自身需要钱时应拒绝借出。D项“如果你承担不起（或拿不出）要借出去的钱，就不要借出。”作为该段主旨句，总领后文内容，“承担不起”既包括自身需要钱的情况，也涵盖其他无力借出的情形，后文具体展开了“承担不起”时的做法。故选D。 5．上文“And if you do want to keep your friendship safe, when you need to borrow some money, what should you do? (如果你确实想保住友谊，当你需要借钱时，应该怎么做？)”提出借方为维系友谊的借钱方式问题。B项“也许银行是更好的选择。”针对该问题给出解决方案——向银行借钱而非亲友，从根源上避免了借贷可能对友谊造成的伤害，贴合前文“保住友谊”的核心诉求。故选B。 Passage 5 Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types. Without a healthy family relationship, it can feel like someone has no one to turn to in times of crisis. Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them. 1 Eat dinner as a family every night. 2 Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette（礼节）and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day. 3 If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships. Spend recreational time together. You can play board games together every Friday night, join a family sports league or read a book together. It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events. 4 Spending regular time together is what makes a family a tight unit. 5 To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express  yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions. A．Respect each other’s private space. B．Never try to cut in while a family member is speaking. C．Let everyone share their feelings openly. D．This useful way of communicating stops arguments from happening. E．But it can help you get close again every week and understand each other better. F．Eating together with your family is a healthy habit that helps bring everyone close. G．Healthy family relationships don’t come automatically — they come with time and effort. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“如何建立健康的家庭关系”这一主题，为各类家庭提供四条可操作的建议。 1．根据空格前句子“Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types. Without a healthy family relationship, it can feel like someone has no one to turn to in times of crisis. Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them.(建立健康的家庭关系对所有类型的家庭都至关重要。如果没有健康的家庭关系，就会觉得在危机时刻没有人可以求助。然而，无论何时你需要家人，他们都会在你身边。)”可知，第一段强调健康家庭关系的重要性。空格处应点明“健康家庭关系需主动经营”这一总论点。G项“Healthy family relationships don’t come automatically — they come with time and effort.(健康的家庭关系不会自动产生——它们需要时间和努力。)”既承接“重要性”，又引出下文具体做法。故选G。 2．根据空格后句子“Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day.(家长网称，一起吃饭教会了孩子们正确的礼仪，也鼓励他们吃更健康的食物。即使你们没有孩子，一起吃饭也能让你们从繁忙的工作节奏中放松下来，谈论一天的所见所闻)”可知，本段强调“全家一起吃饭”的益处。F项“Eating together with your family is a healthy habit that helps bring everyone close.(与家人共餐是一种健康习惯，有助于拉近彼此距离。)”与后文细节形成总分呼应。故选F。 3．根据空格后句子“If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships.(如果你的丈夫要求独处，那就答应他。当你的孩子不在身边时，不要检查他们的东西。每个人都需要一些独处的时间，尊重隐私是建立稳固关系的一件事。)”可知，本段核心为“尊重隐私”。A项“Respect each other’s private space.(尊重彼此的私人空间。)”直接点题，与后文例证无缝衔接。故选A。 4．根据空格前句子“It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events.(为家庭腾出时间，创造定期的家庭仪式，比如有趣的活动，可能是一项挑战。)”和空格后的句子“Spending regular time together is what makes a family a tight unit.(经常花时间在一起是让一个家庭变得紧密的原因。)”可知，空格处的句子应该与上文是转折关系，补充“仪式/共度”带来的具体好处。E项“But it can help you get close again every week and understand each other better.(但它能帮你每周重新靠近，并更好地理解彼此。)”与“tight unit”形成因果递进。故选E。 5．根据空格后句子“To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express   yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions.(为了保持健康的家庭关系，每个成员都必须能够自由地相互交流，并有效地倾听。倾听可以让你更多地了解家人的想法和个性，交流可以让你表达自己，减轻挫折和其他情绪。)”可知，本段聚焦“开放表达与倾听”。C项“Let everyone share their feelings openly.(让每个人公开分享自己的感受。)”与“communicate freely”同义复现，总领全段。故选C。 Passage 6 I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista (咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte(拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. 1 Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face. People like this are called “consequential strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. 2 We may only know some of them for a short time, whereas others may become longstanding parts of our lives. Like me, counsellor Tina Chummu has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important consequential stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective of me,” she explains. 3 Therefore, we get to hear new perspectives. These interactions are emotionally beneficial as well. For instance, the consequential strangers in my life not only help me feel a stronger sense of belonging to my community, but also help with loneliness. And some of these connections could potentially become supportive relationships we can turn to for help. “ 4 ” says Tina. “If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is. ” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a very brief exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence. Of course, not every consequential stranger is going to become a good friend and that’s OK. Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. 5 A．It helps a person to feel much less lonely. B．And that in itself is well worth celebrating. C．Often, our lives feature many consequential strangers. D．This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well. E．Consequential strangers will likely become our best friends forever. F．There are many ways that you can approach strangers and start conversations. G．Consequential strangers allow us to talk about things that we don’t with other people in our lives. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．G 4．F 5．B 【导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文，文章讲述了“重要的的陌生人”（如咖啡师、邻居等）在日常生活中的积极影响，他们能带来快乐、归属感，缓解孤独，并可能提供新视角，虽不一定会成为密友，但仍是生活中宝贵的连接。 1．前文“As I head to a table, latte (拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step.(当我走向一张桌子，手里拿着一杯拿铁咖啡时，我感觉自己的脚步变得轻盈起来)”描述作者拿着咖啡时的心情，后文“Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face.(很有可能，每天都有这样一些与你有接触的人，他们你可能并不十分熟悉，但能让你的心情变得愉悦起来)”表示一些人让自己心情愉快，D选项“这种感觉在你的日常生活中也可能有所体验”同样表示愉快的心情，引出下文导致愉快心情的原因，且句子中的This指代前文描述的心情。故选D。 2．前文“People like this are called “consequential strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym.(像这样的人被称为“重要的的陌生人”。他们可能是你闲聊的邻居，甚至是你在健身房里经常闲聊的人)”引出“consequential strangers(重要的陌生人)”这个概念并描述这些人存在于哪里，后文“We may only know some of them for a short time, whereas others may become longstanding parts of our lives.(我们可能只与其中一些人短暂相识，而另一些人则可能成为我们生活中长久的陪伴)”同样表示自己与这些人的关系，即，在自己生活中扮演的角色，C选项“经常，我们的生活中常常出现许多擦肩而过的陌生人。”同样描述strangers这个概念，并引出下文中与这些人在我们生活中所扮演的角色，符合语境。故选C。 3．前文““I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective of me,” she explains.(“我信任这位咖啡师给出的反馈，因为她对我的看法与其他人截然不同。”她解释道)”通过举例表明consequential stranger对自己的影响，后文“Therefore, we get to hear new perspectives.(因此，我们得以听到不同的观点)”表明可以听到不同的观点，G选项“那些偶然结识的陌生人让我们能够谈论一些在日常生活中无法与他人谈及的话题。”表明偶然遇到的陌生人给我们带来的好处，因为可以随意谈及话题，所以有了观点的交换。故选G。 4．后文““If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is.” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a very brief exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence.(“如果你正在火车站等待火车，你可以开始谈论火车延误有多么令人恼火。” 你可能会发现这样能让你的对话更加深入。即便你与某人只是进行了一次简短的交流，这也是增强你自信心的好方法。)”介绍了如何结识陌生人的方法，F选项“有很多方法可以用来与陌生人接触并展开对话。”引出下文。故选F。 5．前文“Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection.(不过，它们依然是你生活中不可或缺的一部分，能够让你展露笑容，也能让你感受到一种归属感)”提到这些陌生人给自己的生活带来的益处，B选项“而这一点本身就非常值得庆祝。”从这件事本身的角度同样说明是有益处的，为前一句的补充。故选B。 Passage 7 A Friend in the Crowd In a move-on culture full of fast forgetting, I still recall the stranger who chose to stop, notice and care. It wasn’t just that he helped. But something more. 1 One Saturday, I squeezed into a taxi to Rex Theatre, which rushed through traffic. When I got off, all of a sudden, I fell down. 2 Or it was probably a ground-level obstacle (障碍物) hidden by the crowd. Either way, there I was: lying across the roadside, foot twisted, and pain spreading quickly, dramatically, screaming to be noticed. In India, any event — however small — tends to attract an audience, so people gathered around as if I were street theatre, murmuring curiously. Then a young, lean man pushed through the crowd, knelt down, and asked how much pain I was in and whether I felt I needed to go to a hospital. I shook my head. 3 He helped me in, and with a quick “take care”, disappeared into the mass. Months later, my foot healed. One evening, I was waiting outside Lido Theatre. 4 Smiling softly, he walked over and asked how my foot was. I was frozen at the moment. It took me a few moments to place him before I smiled telling him I was back on my feet. With a nod and a smile, he said “take care” and left. Not once did it cross my mind to ask his name, or why he chose to stop. 5 And yet, his kindness, especially that kind of remembrance, shone bright long after the streets had emptied and the pain had faded. A．He remembered. B．He lent a helping hand. C．And out of nowhere, he was there again. D．Then he looked around and called for help. E．Maybe the unfamiliar road caught me off guard. F．All I managed was a simple “thank you” in the moment. G．But he still stopped a taxi and asked it to take me home. 【答案】1．A 2．E 3．G 4．C 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在受伤时得到了一位陌生人的帮助，几个月后，这位陌生人再次出现并关心作者的脚伤恢复情况，作者深受感动的故事。 1．根据上文“In a move-on culture full of fast forgetting, I still recall the stranger who chose to stop, notice and care. It wasn’t just that he helped. But something more.(在这个崇尚向前、习惯快速遗忘的时代，我依然记得那个陌生人——他选择停下脚步，看见并关怀我的困境。不仅仅是因为他帮了忙。但不止如此)”可知，作者遇到困难，陌生人不仅仅只停下脚步伸出援手，还有其它让作者感动的行为。A选项“He remembered.(他记得)”承接上文，说明陌生人不但当时帮助了作者，还记得作者，与最后一段中“And yet, his kindness, especially that kind of remembrance, shone bright long after the streets had emptied and the pain had faded.(然而，当街道空无一人、疼痛逐渐消散后，他的善意——尤其是那种被记住的感觉——依然在漫长岁月里熠熠生辉)”相照应。故选A项。 2．根据上文“One Saturday, I squeezed into a taxi to Rex Theatre, which rushed through traffic. When I got off, all of a sudden, I fell down.(一个星期六，我挤上一辆出租车去雷克斯剧院，出租车在车流中疾驰。当我下车时，突然，我摔倒了)”可知，作者下车时突然摔倒了，E选项“Maybe the unfamiliar road caught me off guard.(或许是因为陌生道路让我猝不及防)”与下文“Or it was probably a ground-level obstacle (障碍物) hidden by the crowd.(抑或是人群遮掩了地面某个障碍物)”构成并列关系，一起解释作者摔倒的原因，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 3．根据上文“Then a young, lean man pushed through the crowd, knelt down, and asked how much pain I was in and whether I felt I needed to go to a hospital. I shook my head.(然后一个年轻瘦削的男人从人群中挤出来，跪下来，问我疼得有多厉害，是否觉得需要去医院。我摇了摇头)”可知，作者拒绝了陌生人的帮助，结合下文“He helped me in, and with a quick “take care”, disappeared into the mass.(他扶我进去，匆匆说了声“保重”，就消失在人群中)”可知，陌生人仍然帮助了作者，并把她扶进了什么地方。G选项“But he still stopped a taxi and asked it to take me home.(但他还是拦了一辆出租车，让它送我回家)”承接上文，与上文构成转折关系，并明确陌生人帮助作者进入了出租车，上下文逻辑连贯。故选G项。 4．上文“Months later, my foot healed. One evening, I was waiting outside Lido Theatre.(几个月后，我的脚痊愈了。一天晚上，我在丽都剧院外面等着)”描述了几个月后的一天晚上，作者在丽都剧院外面等人，结合下文“Smiling softly, he walked over and asked how my foot was.(他轻轻地微笑着走过来，问我的脚怎么样了)”可知，陌生人再次出现了。C选项“And out of nowhere, he was there again.(不知从哪里冒出来的，他又出现了)”能够承上启下，说明作者在等人时，陌生人突然再次出现，并明确下文中“he”指代对象。故选C项。 5．上文“Not once did it cross my mind to ask his name, or why he chose to stop.(我从未想过要问他的名字，或者他为什么选择停下来)”讲了作者没有做的事情，F选项“All I managed was a simple “thank you” in the moment.(那一刻，我只说了一句简单的“谢谢”)”讲作者做了的事情，与上文形成对比，同时，这句简单的“谢谢”与下文“And yet, his kindness, especially that kind of remembrance, shone bright long after the streets had emptied and the pain had faded.(然而，当街道空无一人、疼痛逐渐消散后，他的善意——尤其是那种被记住的感觉——依然在漫长岁月里熠熠生辉)”构成转折关系。故选F项。 Passage 8 In the age of rich information, we might assume (假定) we are exposed to a wider range of ideas than ever before. Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. We are increasingly likely to be trapped in “information cocoons (茧房)”. 1 . These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms (算法). Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches. 2 Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints. The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society. 3 It limits our critical thinking and our ability to understand perspectives different from our own. On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible. 4 Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort. 5 Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world. A．Experts suggest that we should completely give up social media. B．The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us. C．For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview. D．It is a comfortable space where our opinions are constantly ignored. E．Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive. F．This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user. G．This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．C 4．E 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了信息时代中“信息茧房”现象的形成（算法导致）、危害（个体思维局限与社会分裂）及应对措施（主动寻求多元观点）。 1．由上文“We are increasingly likely to be trapped in ‘information cocoons’.(我们越来越有可能陷入‘信息茧房’之中。)”可知，本空要说跟信息茧房相关的话题，G选项“This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information.(这一术语指的是，由于你只接收个性化信息，从而与其他思想观点隔绝的状态。)”对“信息茧房”这一概念进行解释说明，符合题意，该选项中的“This term”指代上文的“information cocoons”。故选G。 2．由上文“These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms. Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches.(这些信息茧房主要由算法构建而成的。社交媒体平台和搜索引擎的设计初衷，是向我们推送与过往点击、点赞和搜索记录相符的内容。)”及下文“Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints.(久而久之，我们持续接收到的信息都在不断强化自己已有的信念，使我们无法接触到具有挑战性或相反的观点。)”可知，本空要说算法如何构建个性化的世界。F选项“This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user.(这种个性化筛选为每位用户打造了一个独特的数字世界。)”承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This personalized selection”指代上文的“content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches”。故选F。 3．由上文“The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society.(这一现象的后果对个人和社会而言都十分严重。)”及下文“On a societal level(在社会层面)”可知，本空要说在个人层面造成的后果，C选项“For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview.(对个人来说，它可能导致视野狭隘的世界观。)”承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“lead to”与上文的“The consequences”相呼应。故选C。 4．由上文“On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible.(在社会层面，当不同群体处于完全割裂的信息生态系统中时，寻求共识便几乎成为不可能之事。)”可知，本空要说明社会分裂的后果，E选项“Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive.(因此，政治辩论变得愈发分裂，也愈发缺乏实际成效。)”承接上文，构成因果关系，符合句意，且该选项中的“divided”与上文的“separate”相呼应。故选E。 5．由上文“Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort.(摆脱信息茧房需要有意识的努力。)”及下文“Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world.(主动寻找持有不同视角的新闻来源，与持不同意见的人进行尊重的交流，同时留意那些塑造我们网络体验的算法——这些都是朝着更全面、更均衡地理解世界迈出的关键一步。)”可知，本空要说摆脱信息茧房的具体行动，B选项“The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us.(第一步是认识到我们身边存在这样的茧房。)”承上启下，符合题意。该选项中的“The first step”与上文的“requires conscious effort”相呼应。故选B。 Passage 9 Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types. Without a healthy family relationship, it can feel like someone has no one to turn to in times of crisis. Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them. 1 Eat dinner as a family every night. 2 Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette (礼节) and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day. 3 If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships. Spend recreational time together. You can play board games together every Friday night, join a family sporting league or read a book together. It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events. 4 Spending regular time together is what makes a family a tight unit. 5 To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions. A．Respect each other’s personal space. B．Never try to interrupt a family member. C．Allow everyone to openly communicate feelings. D．This effective type of communication prevents arguments. E．But it can help you reconnect each week and know each other better. F．Eating together as a family is a healthy habit that helps bring all together. G．Healthy family relationships don’t come automatically — they come with time and effort. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．A 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文为说明文，介绍了四种建立健康的家庭关系的方法。 1．根据上文“Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types.

Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them.(建立健康的家庭关系对所有类型的家庭来说都至关重要。如果没有健康的家庭关系，那么在面临危机时，可能会让人感觉无人可依靠。但无论何时你需要帮助，家人都会陪伴在你身边)”可知，本句承上启下，说明健康家庭关系的养成条件。故G项“健康的家庭关系并非自然而然就能形成——它们是需要时间与努力去培养的”符合语境。故选G。 2．根据上文“Eat dinner as a family every night.(每天一家人一起吃晚餐)”以及后文“Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette (礼节) and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day.(Parents.com网站指出，一起用餐能教会孩子正确的礼仪规范，还能促使他们选择更健康的饮食。即便您没有孩子，一起用餐也能让您从繁忙的工作中放松下来，并借此交流当天的事情)”可知，选项F中的“Eating together as a family”与本段的主题句“Eat dinner as a family every night”和空后的“eating together”相呼应，说明一起用餐的好处。故F选项“家庭成员一起用餐是一种有益健康的习惯，有助于增进家庭成员之间的关系”符合语境。故选F。 3．根据下文“If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships.(如果你的丈夫想要独处一段时间，就给他这个机会吧。当你的孩子不在身边时，不要去翻看他们的东西。每个人都需要独处的时间，尊重他人的隐私是建立稳固关系的重要因素之一)”可知，本段强调尊重个人独处时间和隐私。故A 项“尊重彼此的个人空间”最能概括本段的主要内容。故选A。 4．根据上文“It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events.(要腾出时间陪伴家人，并建立一些常规的家庭活动（比如有趣的活动），这可能颇具挑战性)”可知，本句承接上文，说明家庭活动的好处。故E项“但这样做能帮助你们每周保持联系，并增进彼此的了解”符合语境。故选E。 5．根据下文“To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions.(要维持良好的家庭关系，每个家庭成员都必须能够彼此坦诚交流，并且善于倾听。倾听能让你更深入地了解家庭成员的想法和性格；而交流则能让你表达自己，从而缓解沮丧和各种情绪)”可知，本段的中心思想是让家人自由地交流。C选项“让大家能够坦诚地表达自己的感受”符合语境。故选C。 Passage 10 You can picture it already: relaxing with your closest friends and exploring new exciting destinations.

Talk about where you’d like to and how long a vacation is OK for all. Will you be together all of the time? 3 Will there be one or two main planning leaders?

B．Choose a tour leader of your group. C．Will there be days to explore separately? D．People often have different ideas when it comes to money.

Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was difficult for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor. 1 According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy. As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system. 2 It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better. 3 According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM. 4 The popular situation of TCM is not limited to schools and hospitals. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. There is a trend among young people to pay more attention to health conditioning and maintenance. However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状) . It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients. 5 A．They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment. B．Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it. C．Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. D．Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon. E．This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. F．Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods. G．For example, some students find it difficult to master the philosophical ideas behind TCM. 【答案】1．E 2．C 3．D 4．F 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了越南人Phan Thi Kim Chi与中国传统医学（TCM）的渊源，以及TCM在世界范围内的传播和受欢迎情况，同时专家也提醒TCM强调根据确定的症状进行诊断和治疗的重要性，不可能对所有患者提供一刀切的方法。 1．上文“Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor.(小时候，每当她感冒或头痛时，她的家人都会向当地的中医求助)”描述Phan小时候与中医的渊源，结合第二段中“As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system.(作为一名外籍学生，Phan认为中医基础理论课程是其体系中最具挑战性的课程)”可知，她长大后选择了学习中医，E项“This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China.(这使她在中国的传统医学院主修中医)”符合语境，E项中This指代前文“小时候生病找中医”的情况，故选E项。 2．根据下文“It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.(需要多年的学习和实践才能真正理解阴阳、人与自然的和谐以及木、火、土、金、水五行等思想)”可知，中医涉及很多哲学思想，需要多年学习实践才能理解，与C项“Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy.(中医博大精深，与中国哲学有着深厚的联系)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 3．根据下文“According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe.(据一份报告显示，去年在中国学习中医的留学生总数为8187人，其中来自亚洲国家的留学生人数最多，为6441人，其次是来自非洲的832人和来自欧洲的432人)”可知，有很多像Phan一样的海外学生学习中医，与D项“Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon.(像Phan这样的中医海外学生并不少见)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。 4．根据上文“Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM.(此外，许多中国医科大学都有派遣教授出国教授中医的项目)”可知，很多中国医科大学有派遣教授出国教中医的项目，由此可推理出其他中医组织也有类似做法，与F项“Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods.(许多其他中医组织也采用了类似的战略方法)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 5．根据上文“However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状). It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients.(然而，专家提醒，中医强调根据确定的症状进行诊断和治疗的重要性。不可能对所有患者提供一刀切的方法)”可知，中医强调根据症状诊断治疗，不能一刀切，由此可推理出喝草本奶茶等也要根据情况选择，与B项“Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it.(即使是喝草本奶茶，也最好根据此做出选择)”表达的含义一致，故选B项。 Passage 12 Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 1 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 2 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 3 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 4 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 5 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A．But I didn’t stop there. B．For me, it was a firm no. C．That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D．I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E．It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F．This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G．Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．E 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一个具体的例子，探讨了如何在孩子提出不合理要求时，既不伤害感情又教会他们重要的人生课程。 1．上文提到“Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. (育儿是一场持续的平衡行为。我们希望教育孩子重要的生活课程，同时保持家庭的和谐，避免不必要的冲突)”，接下来需要一个与这种平衡相关的句子。F项“This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. (这种平衡行为可能很棘手，尤其是在养育青少年时)”与上文相呼应，进一步说明了这种平衡的难度，故选F。 2．上文提到“Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. (最近，我的13岁女儿让我给她买一个28美元的手机壳。她的旧手机壳并没有坏，也没有磨损，她只是厌倦了它)”，接下来需要一个与作者决定相关的句子。B项“For me, it was a firm no. (对我来说，答案是坚决的“不”)”与上文相呼应，说明了作者的决定，故选B。 3．上文提到“it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. (这是关于她对新奇、时尚和令人兴奋的东西的渴望)”，接下来需要一个与孩子感受相关的句子。E项“It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. (对她来说，这很重要，即使在我看来这似乎没有必要)”与上文相呼应，it指代的就是上文中的desire，故选E。 4．上文提到“I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. (我解释说，我们必须优先考虑什么是必需的，而不是冲动消费)”，接下来需要一个与作者进一步行动相关的句子。A项“But I didn’t stop there. (但我并没有就此止步)”与上文相呼应，引出下文作者的进一步行动，故选A。 5．下文提到“It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. (这是关于引导我的女儿做出更好的决策，同时不损害我们的关系)”，这里的it一定有所指代。C项“That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. (那次对话不仅仅是一个手机壳的问题)”与下文相呼应，下文的it指的就是that conversation，故选C。 Passage 13 It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. 1 People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take, Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 2 In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 3 But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. 4 Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? 5 Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. A．You’ll also find that you sleep better. B．Even a simple smile can work wonders. C．One essential factor is human relationships. D．In the end, happiness comes from good sleep. E．If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. F．Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material. G．Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．G 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了深层次、持久的幸福感来自于无形的事物，如人际关系、健康、睡眠等，而非物质享受。 1．根据上文“People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy.(那些有家人支持和深厚友谊的人更可能感到幸福)”可知，空处在说明人际关系与幸福的关系。故C选项“幸福的一个关键因素是人际关系”切题。human relationships呼应family members and also have strong friendships。故选C。 2．根据下文“In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course).(事实上，他们说一个微笑能让人感觉像吃了2000块巧克力一样好，当然不是一次吃完)”可知，选项承接下文说明微笑的力量。故B选项“即使是简单的微笑也能创造奇迹”切题。smile是关键词。故选B 3．根据上文“It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness.(健康是幸福的另一个关键因素，这并不令人惊讶)”可知，选项承接上文，反向说明不健康的影响。故G选项“健康状况不佳会让你感到沮丧”切题。故选G。 4．根据上文“So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising.(所以，如果你一直感到沮丧，担心考试，那就去锻炼吧)”可知，选项承接上文继续说明锻炼的作用。故A选项“你也会发现你睡得更好”切题。故选A项。 5．根据上文“Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? (说到睡眠，你是否经常醒来时感到痛苦)”可知，选项承接上文说明其原因。故E选项“如果是这样，可能是因为你睡眠不足”切题。故选E项。 Passage 14 Exercise is necessary for keeping a healthy body and mind. 1 However, sometimes even those who exercise regularly may not be aware of certain tips. Here are several exercise tips. 2 Doing the same exercises over and over again can lead to a plateau (瓶颈期) in your progress. Mix up your daily exercise by trying something new or varying the intensity (强度) length of your exercises. It can help keep you challenged, pushing your body to continually adapt to new movement patterns, thus enabling your fitness results to continue to improve. Get enough rest. Rest is important for muscle recovery and to avoid injuries. 3 And include rest days into your exercise plan to allow your body time to recover. This ensures best fitness gains and reduces the risk of over-training. Set realistic goals. Setting realistic goals can help cheer you on and ensure that you stay on track with your fitness journey. 4 Instead of saying “I want to get fit”, understand exactly what that means for you. Having a clear view of your desired outcome will make it easier to create a plan and stay focused. Make it fun. 5 Instead, you can turn it into a fun and rewarding experience. Find activities that you actually enjoy such as dancing or hiking and include them into your exercise plan. After all, making exercise fun can be the only thing to help lift your spirits and make you interested. A．Try mindful movement. B．Mix your exercises. C．Be specific about what you want to achieve. D．Aim to get at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night. E．Exercise doesn’t have to be something you hate doing. F．It can help reduce stress, improve mood, and prevent chronic (慢性的) diseases.

It can reduce the quality of your work, lead you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. 1 First, it’s important to recognize when you’re procrastinating. You might spend a lot of your time working on low-priority (低优先级) tasks from your to-do list. Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. 2 3 Are you overwhelmed(压垮)by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin? Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some ways to overcome it. 4 If you’re procrastinating because of disorganization, take time to prioritize your to-do list and then focus on one task at a time. Or if you’re procrastinating because of perfectionism, ask yourself how perfect the work actually has to be. And don’t forget to reward yourself. For example, have a coffee once you’ve completed a task that you’ve been putting off. 5 Remember, it can take a while to overcome a bad habit and establish a new routine, so don’t give up. A．It’s a common problem, which can cause many issues. B．The next step is to think about why you’re procrastinating. C．The good news is: there’s a lot you can do to overcome this bad habit. D．The longer you wait, the less likely you are to act on what you’ve learned. E．Everyone is different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project. F．Not only is this motivational, but you’ll realize how good it feels when you actually finish things. G．If you’re not motivated to get started, think about all of the unpleasant consequences of not completing this task. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．B 4．G 5．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拖延症的危害以及如何克服拖延症的方法。 1．根据空前内容“Procrastination (拖延), which is when you put off, tasks that you should be focusing on, can stop even the most promising career in its tracks. It can reduce the quality of your work, lead. you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. (拖延症，即当你推迟本应专注的任务时，它会阻碍即使是最有前途的事业。它会降低你的工作质量，导致你错过截止日期，使他人避免与你合作，甚至损害你的声誉。)”可知，上文提到了拖延症的坏处。选项C“The good news is: there’s a lot you can do to overcome this bad habit. (好消息是：你可以做很多事情来克服这个坏习惯。)”承上启下，指出拖延症有很多坏处，好消息是我们可以克服这个坏习惯。故选C。 2．根据上文“You might spend a lot of your time working on low-priority(低优先级) tasks from your to-do list. Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. (你可能会花费大量时间去做你待办事项列表中低优先级的任务。也许你坐下来准备做一个高优先级的项目，然后立刻就去喝咖啡休息了。或者，也许你一直在等待合适的心情去做某事。)”可知，上文提出我们可能会因为各种原因拖延要做的事情。选项E“Everyone is different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project. (每个人都是不同的，所以要注意你什么时候推迟了一项任务或项目。)”延续上文内容，指出每个人都会推延。故选E。 3．空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Are you overwhelmed (压垮) by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin? (你是被任务压垮了吗？你是否因为没有条理而根本不想开始？或者，你是否是一个完美主义者，认为自己没有足够的知识或技能去开始？)”可知，本段讲述的是拖延的原因。选项B“The next step is to think about why you’re procrastinating. (下一步是思考你为什么拖延。)”正是本段主要内容。故选B。 4．根据上文“Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some ways to overcome it. (一旦你理解了为什么拖延，就想出一些方法来克服它。)”可知，本段讲述的是理解了拖延的原因就想办法去克服。选项G“If you’ re not motivated to get started, think about all of the unpleasant consequences of not completing this task. (如果你没有动力开始，想想不完成这项任务的所有不愉快后果。)”与本段内容相符，指出如果没有动力，就想想不完成的后果。故选G。 5．根据空前内容“For example, have a coffee once you’ve completed a task that you’ve been putting off. (例如，完成一项你一直拖延的任务后，喝杯咖啡。)”可知，要奖励自己，如果完成了一项拖延的任务，我们可以喝杯咖啡。选项F“Not only is this motivational, but you’ll realize how good it feels when you actually finish things.

It’s also important to know why you’re setting them in the first place. 1 Here are some tips to help you develop good goal-setting habits. 2 You’ll be more likely to achieve your goals if they come from a healthy, actual attitude. If your goal is to develop better eating habits, for instance, you will have a greater chance of success if your motivation is to feel healthier and more energetic, rather than to look good for your upcoming high school reunion. Create a realistic plan. Any goal-setting plan should be realistic — and non-negotiable, except in the case of an emergency or risk. “If your goal is to get regular exercise, set a plan for what activity you’ll do and how much time or distance you will cover each day,” says Wallin. 3 . Just do it. Reward yourself for achieving your goals. This positive reward can help train your brain to keep healthy habits. A reward helps your brain decide whether or not this behavior is worth repeating. 4 Maybe treating yourself to a cup of coffee after a workout gym session. Have an action plan for potential difficulties. 5 Prepare for some discomfort when you're trying to change your behaviour. Forgive yourself, but don’t make excuses. Figure out what has been standing in your way, and then revise your plan accordingly. If you're struggling to recognize barriers, consider seeking advice from a family member, friend, or expert. A．What does that look like? B．Understand your potential. C．Set a goal for your right reasons. D．Even the best-laid plans can go off the tracks. E．Goal-setting is a significant step in achieving success. F．Then, when it’s time to exercise, don’t make any excuses. G．You are more likely to stick to your goals when you are really motivated. Passage 2 I always loved spending time with my great-grandmother. Mabel Wells, or Memmie to our family, was born in 1909, at a time when the Titanic was being built and World War I was still five years away. Ms. Mabel farmed, raised three kids, and found time to run a cafe. 1 But to me, she was just Memmie. When I was little, I knew that Memmie was old. It wasn’t her aging hands that gave her away; it was her confidence and straight-talk. 2 Sometimes I felt a bit afraid, yet I still knew she loved me. My sister and I were free to dig through Memmie’s basement (地下室). 3 I’d open those drawers, and my 10-year-old heart raced with excitement, wondering what treasures I might find. We read Reader’s Digest, and as I tried on dresses with white dress gloves that smelled like mothballs (樟脑丸), I was connected to a different time. Memmie was always the oldest person I knew, and my sister and I tried to find out her secret to a long, healthy life. “It must be all the organic (有机的) vegetables she ate when growing up,” my sister said. I didn’t think so. Then, one day, we decided to ask her. 4 Without hesitation, she said, “Don’t worry so much.” Huh. 5 Always truthful and to the point. Sadly she left us later that year. Growing up, I watched my great-grandmother live with such a deep acceptance of the present. It’s a gift she has passed on, and one I try to remember every day. A．Everyone in her tiny town admired her. B．We sat next to her, waiting to take notes. C．She always said exactly what she thought. D．I had expected a bigger answer, but this was Memmie. E．She had no deep understanding of history of times past. F．This freedom to nose around was like her way of saying “I love you”. G．I remember wondering what her life looked like when she was a teenager. Passage 3 How to Manage Anxiety Many people feel nervous in social situations or crowded places. But for some, this isn’t just short-term worry — it’s an anxiety disorder. This serious condition can harm one’s life and relationships. 1 . The first strategy is to “do it badly.” People often put tasks off because they fear not being perfect. This eagerness of perfection can make people upset. 2 . It speeds up your decision-making and helps you start acting. As you begin, you’ll often find things are not as bad as you feared. 3 . People with anxiety tend to be their own worst critics (评论家), continuously focusing on their mistakes. Therefore, it’s important to learn to be kinder to yourself. Forgive yourself for past errors or social awkwardness. This self-compassion is the first step toward recovery. Another important strategy is to find purpose in helping others. We cannot be fully happy until we know that someone else needs us. Doing something with someone else in mind gives you a “why” to keep going. 4 . Knowing you are making a difference provides a powerful sense of meaning and can carry you through difficult times. By adopting these coping strategies — taking action without pressure, being kind to yourself, and helping others — you can take charge of your anxiety. Each small step you take builds confidence and reduces worry. 5 , but with practice, you will see meaningful improvements in your mental well-being. Finally, you have the power to lead a calmer, more fulfilling life. A．Remember that progress takes time B．Forgiving yourself also matters a lot C．Everyone has a strong desire to become perfect D．While it can be alarming, there are practical ways to overcome it E．This could be voluntary activities or sharing knowledge with others F．So instead of worrying if it’s good or bad, why not just jump in and do it G．However, the good news is that these skills can be learned to overcome anxiety Passage 4 Shakespeare once wrote: “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan (借款) often loses both itself and friend”. It is often used as a warning about the dangers of lending. 1 If our friend or family member comes to us for hard cash, it can be very difficult to turn them away. 2 And if that money doesn’t come back, it can lead to fights or even legal battles. So how can we, as the lender, avoid these problems? According to Bradley T. Koontz, an expert in psychology (心理学), there are some steps you can take. Understanding why there is an unavoidable risk of lending anything to a friend is the first thing. And it’s not just the risk of losing the money, but the friendship could also be in danger. 3 The lender becomes the one in control, while the borrower may feel uncomfortable with the new situation. Similarly, if you try to advise them on what to do with the money, it might make things difficult between you two. In other words, let go — and see it as their money. 4 Saying ‘no’ is hard when a friend comes asking, but if you need that money, refusing is probably the best choice. If you still want to lend, making a formal agreement and writing everything down can help make sure the money is paid back on time. But some friends may not like being asked to sign something — seeing it as a lack of trust. Finally, for some, it’s best to just see the money as a gift and be pleasantly surprised if something comes back. And if you do want to keep your friendship safe, when you need to borrow some money, what should you do? 5 A．You feel under pressure to help. B．Perhaps a bank is a better option. C．Lending money is a good way to test a friend. D．And if you can’t afford to lend something, don’t. E．The friend might feel unhappy and end the relationship. F．This is because lending has changed the balance of power. G．But why can lending money be so harmful to our friendships? Passage 5 Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types. Without a healthy family relationship, it can feel like someone has no one to turn to in times of crisis. Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them. 1 Eat dinner as a family every night. 2 Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette（礼节）and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day. 3 If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships. Spend recreational time together. You can play board games together every Friday night, join a family sports league or read a book together. It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events. 4 Spending regular time together is what makes a family a tight unit. 5 To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express  yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions. A．Respect each other’s private space. B．Never try to cut in while a family member is speaking. C．Let everyone share their feelings openly. D．This useful way of communicating stops arguments from happening. E．But it can help you get close again every week and understand each other better. F．Eating together with your family is a healthy habit that helps bring everyone close. G．Healthy family relationships don’t come automatically — they come with time and effort. Passage 6 I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista (咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte(拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. 1 Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face. People like this are called “consequential strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. 2 We may only know some of them for a short time, whereas others may become longstanding parts of our lives. Like me, counsellor Tina Chummu has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important consequential stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective of me,” she explains. 3 Therefore, we get to hear new perspectives. These interactions are emotionally beneficial as well. For instance, the consequential strangers in my life not only help me feel a stronger sense of belonging to my community, but also help with loneliness. And some of these connections could potentially become supportive relationships we can turn to for help. “ 4 ” says Tina. “If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is. ” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a very brief exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence. Of course, not every consequential stranger is going to become a good friend and that’s OK. Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. 5 A．It helps a person to feel much less lonely. B．And that in itself is well worth celebrating. C．Often, our lives feature many consequential strangers. D．This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well. E．Consequential strangers will likely become our best friends forever. F．There are many ways that you can approach strangers and start conversations. G．Consequential strangers allow us to talk about things that we don’t with other people in our lives. Passage 7 A Friend in the Crowd In a move-on culture full of fast forgetting, I still recall the stranger who chose to stop, notice and care. It wasn’t just that he helped. But something more. 1 One Saturday, I squeezed into a taxi to Rex Theatre, which rushed through traffic. When I got off, all of a sudden, I fell down. 2 Or it was probably a ground-level obstacle (障碍物) hidden by the crowd. Either way, there I was: lying across the roadside, foot twisted, and pain spreading quickly, dramatically, screaming to be noticed. In India, any event — however small — tends to attract an audience, so people gathered around as if I were street theatre, murmuring curiously. Then a young, lean man pushed through the crowd, knelt down, and asked how much pain I was in and whether I felt I needed to go to a hospital. I shook my head. 3 He helped me in, and with a quick “take care”, disappeared into the mass. Months later, my foot healed. One evening, I was waiting outside Lido Theatre. 4 Smiling softly, he walked over and asked how my foot was. I was frozen at the moment. It took me a few moments to place him before I smiled telling him I was back on my feet. With a nod and a smile, he said “take care” and left. Not once did it cross my mind to ask his name, or why he chose to stop. 5 And yet, his kindness, especially that kind of remembrance, shone bright long after the streets had emptied and the pain had faded. A．He remembered. B．He lent a helping hand. C．And out of nowhere, he was there again. D．Then he looked around and called for help. E．Maybe the unfamiliar road caught me off guard. F．All I managed was a simple “thank you” in the moment. G．But he still stopped a taxi and asked it to take me home. Passage 8 In the age of rich information, we might assume (假定) we are exposed to a wider range of ideas than ever before. Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. We are increasingly likely to be trapped in “information cocoons (茧房)”. 1 . These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms (算法). Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches. 2 Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints. The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society. 3 It limits our critical thinking and our ability to understand perspectives different from our own. On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible. 4 Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort. 5 Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world. A．Experts suggest that we should completely give up social media. B．The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us. C．For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview. D．It is a comfortable space where our opinions are constantly ignored. E．Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive. F．This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user. G．This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information. Passage 9 Building a healthy family relationship is essential for families of all types. Without a healthy family relationship, it can feel like someone has no one to turn to in times of crisis. Yet family members are there for you whenever you need them. 1 Eat dinner as a family every night. 2 Parents.com states that eating together teaches children proper etiquette (礼节) and also encourages them to eat healthier foods. Even if you don’t have children, eating together allows you to relax from the busy pace of work and discuss the day. 3 If your husband asks for some time alone, give it to him. Don’t check your teenagers’ things when they aren’t around. Everyone needs some time alone, and respecting privacy is one of the things that build solid relationships. Spend recreational time together. You can play board games together every Friday night, join a family sporting league or read a book together. It can be challenging to make time for families, creating regular family rituals, such as fun events. 4 Spending regular time together is what makes a family a tight unit. 5 To maintain a healthy family relationship, each member must be able to communicate freely with one another, as well as listen effectively. Listening allows you to learn more about your family members’ thoughts and personalities and communicating allows you to express yourself to relieve frustrations and other emotions. A．Respect each other’s personal space. B．Never try to interrupt a family member. C．Allow everyone to openly communicate feelings. D．This effective type of communication prevents arguments. E．But it can help you reconnect each week and know each other better. F．Eating together as a family is a healthy habit that helps bring all together. G．Healthy family relationships don’t come automatically — they come with time and effort. Passage 10 You can picture it already: relaxing with your closest friends and exploring new exciting destinations. All the while you’re enjoying great food and making fantastic memories (回忆). 1 Use our tips to plan a trip with friends where you’ll come home not only relaxed but closer than ever. 2 Slow down and honestly discuss what everyone hopes to get out of the vacation before booking anything. Talk about where you’d like to and how long a vacation is OK for all. Will you be together all of the time? 3 Will there be one or two main planning leaders? Make sure everyone plays a part in planning the vacation. Have the money talk. No one likes the uncomfortable talk about how the money is going to work, but it is a necessary part of planning. 4 So it’s best to have honest conversations about money. Try to find some common ground when planning a budget (预算) for accommodations, visiting attractions, meals out, and activities. Stay safe. While you don’t have to be with the group every minute of your trip, agree to stay accountable (负有责任的) to each other for everyone’s safety. That means no leaving without telling the group where you’re going. 5 Look out for one another and use common sense so everyone stays safe. A．Have a full discussion. B．Choose a tour leader of your group. C．Will there be days to explore separately? D．People often have different ideas when it comes to money. E．Be sure that everyone has each other’s contact information on their phone. F．Having a travel adviser would be easier than doing all the booking yourself. G．However, travelling with your closest friends sometimes can be a terrible experience. Passage 11 Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was difficult for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM doctor. 1 According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy. As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in its system. 2 It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the ideas of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better. 3 According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest population of 6, 441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors abroad to teach TCM. 4 The popular situation of TCM is not limited to schools and hospitals. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. There is a trend among young people to pay more attention to health conditioning and maintenance. However, experts remind that TCM stresses the importance of diagnosing (诊断) and treating based on determining symptoms (症状) . It is impossible to offer a one-size-fits-all approach to all patients. 5 A．They highly recognized the effectiveness of TCM, especially its use in pain treatment. B．Even when drinking herbal milk tea, it’s best to make choices according to it. C．Being broad and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. D．Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not uncommon. E．This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. F．Many other Chinese medicine organizations have adopted similar strategic methods. G．For example, some students find it difficult to master the philosophical ideas behind TCM. Passage 12 Parenting is a constant balancing act. We want to teach our children important life lessons, while also maintaining harmony at home and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 1 Recently, my 13-year-old daughter asked me to buy her a $28 phone case. Her old one wasn’t broken or worn out; she was just bored of it. 2 However, saying “no” in moments like this isn’t easy. The request felt small, but I knew there was a bigger lesson to teach. It’s about teaching our children to think critically about their spending. At the same time, we don’t want to come across as overly strict or dismissive of their feelings. In this case, I realized my daughter’s request wasn’t just about the phone case; it was about her desire for something new, trendy, and exciting. 3 After all, to a 13-year-old, a new phone case might feel like a big deal, a way to express themselves or fit in with their friends. So how do we find the middle ground? Instead of shutting down the conversation, I used it as an opportunity to talk about wants and needs. I explained that we must prioritize what’s essential over impulse (冲动) purchases. 4 I also acknowledged her feelings. “I get it,” I told her. Sometimes we just want something new because it feels exciting. This softened the conversation and made her more willing to listen. Instead of a flat-out “no”, I suggested a compromise (妥协). I offered her three options: earn it, wait it out or explore alternatives. 5 It was about guiding my daughter toward better decision-making without damaging our relationship. A．But I didn’t stop there. B．For me, it was a firm no. C．That conversation wasn’t just about a phone case. D．I promoted the habit of saving for things she wanted. E．It felt important to her, even if it seemed unnecessary to me. F．This balancing act can be tricky, especially when parenting teens. G．Sometimes, the most valuable lessons aren’t about the money at all. Passage 13 It seems that deep, long-lasting happiness comes from intangible (无形的) things, rather than things like chocolates and smart-phones. 1 People who have the support of family members and also have strong friendships are more likely to be happy. Feeling protected and respected and knowing you can trust in the people around you is vital. But happiness means you have to give and take, Performing acts of kindness and generosity on a regular basis, for example, listening to a friend in need or carrying a neighbor’s shopping, will make you feel on top of the world. 2 In fact, they say that one smile makes a person feel as good as eating 2,000 bars of chocolates (not all at once, of course). It is not surprising that health is another key contributor to happiness. 3 But being healthy and staying healthy require some effort. A healthy diet is crucial and so is regular exercise. Laziness will not make you happy. Exercising for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps to reduce stress and anxiety and makes you feel more positive and optimistic because it releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals). So, if you have been feeling blue and worrying too much about your exams, get exercising. 4 Talking of sleep, do you often wake up feeling miserable? 5 Teenagers tend to go to bed too late and have to get up early, so many suffer from a lack of sleep. Tiredness will certainly affect your happiness levels and put you in a bad mood. It also affects your ability to concentrate and may slow your growth. So if you want to be happy and do well at school, try to get at least eight hours of sleep a night. Now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it all into practice. A．You’ll also find that you sleep better. B．Even a simple smile can work wonders. C．One essential factor is human relationships. D．In the end, happiness comes from good sleep. E．If so, it’s probably because you haven’t had enough of it. F．Sustainable happiness may be more spiritual than material. G．Poor health will certainly make you feel down in the mouth. Passage 14 Exercise is necessary for keeping a healthy body and mind. 1 However, sometimes even those who exercise regularly may not be aware of certain tips. Here are several exercise tips. 2 Doing the same exercises over and over again can lead to a plateau (瓶颈期) in your progress. Mix up your daily exercise by trying something new or varying the intensity (强度) length of your exercises. It can help keep you challenged, pushing your body to continually adapt to new movement patterns, thus enabling your fitness results to continue to improve. Get enough rest. Rest is important for muscle recovery and to avoid injuries. 3 And include rest days into your exercise plan to allow your body time to recover. This ensures best fitness gains and reduces the risk of over-training. Set realistic goals. Setting realistic goals can help cheer you on and ensure that you stay on track with your fitness journey. 4 Instead of saying “I want to get fit”, understand exactly what that means for you. Having a clear view of your desired outcome will make it easier to create a plan and stay focused. Make it fun. 5 Instead, you can turn it into a fun and rewarding experience. Find activities that you actually enjoy such as dancing or hiking and include them into your exercise plan. After all, making exercise fun can be the only thing to help lift your spirits and make you interested. A．Try mindful movement. B．Mix your exercises. C．Be specific about what you want to achieve. D．Aim to get at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night. E．Exercise doesn’t have to be something you hate doing. F．It can help reduce stress, improve mood, and prevent chronic (慢性的) diseases. G．Proper form plays an important role in preventing injury. Passage 15 How to overcome procrastination Procrastination (拖延), which is when you put off tasks that you should be focusing on, can stop even the most promising career in its tracks. It can reduce the quality of your work, lead you to miss deadlines, cause others to avoid working with you, and can even damage your reputation. 1 First, it’s important to recognize when you’re procrastinating. You might spend a lot of your time working on low-priority (低优先级) tasks from your to-do list. Perhaps you sit down to work on a high-priority project, and then immediately take a coffee break. Or maybe you wait around to be in the right mood to get started on something. 2 3 Are you overwhelmed(压垮)by the task? Are you so disorganized that you just don’t want to get started? Or, are you a perfectionist who thinks you don’t have enough knowledge or skills to begin? Once you understand why you’re procrastinating, come up with some ways to overcome it. 4 If you’re procrastinating because of disorganization, take time to prioritize your to-do list and then focus on one task at a time. Or if you’re procrastinating because of perfectionism, ask yourself how perfect the work actually has to be. And don’t forget to reward yourself. For example, have a coffee once you’ve completed a task that you’ve been putting off. 5 Remember, it can take a while to overcome a bad habit and establish a new routine, so don’t give up. A．It’s a common problem, which can cause many issues. B．The next step is to think about why you’re procrastinating. C．The good news is: there’s a lot you can do to overcome this bad habit. D．The longer you wait, the less likely you are to act on what you’ve learned. E．Everyone is different, so pay attention to when you put off a task or project. F．Not only is this motivational, but you’ll realize how good it feels when you actually finish things. G．If you’re not motivated to get started, think about all of the unpleasant consequences of not completing this task. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
