Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them? Here are some simple tips. Choose the right videos Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 1 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time. Watch with a goal Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this?” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 2 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively. Don’t watch too many at once It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 3 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend. Use subtitles (字幕) Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 4 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences. Practice what you learn Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 5 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick. A. This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply. B. They should be clear and not too fast. C. If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home. D. This makes it easier to follow, even if the speaker talks fast. E. You can also use them to check your pronunciation. F. Keep this question in your mind while watching. G. Some videos can help you relax after a long day. 【答案】1. B 2. F 3. A 4. D 5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为学生提供了如何有效利用短视频进行学习的实用建议。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels.

(这让理解更容易，即使说话者语速很快。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文的“Turn them on (打开字幕)”，直接说明了使用字幕带来的首要好处，并自然引出下文更具体的好处，例如：学习拼写和用法。故选D。 (5)题解析： 由上文“If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. (如果一个视频教一个新的舞蹈动作，亲自尝试一下。)”可知，本空要说跟如何实践所学知识有关的话题，并且与前一句构成并列，C选项“If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home.(如果是科学实验，尝试在家里做一个简易版本。)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项与前一句结构相似(If...)，通过另一个具体例子进一步阐释了“Practice what you learn”的含义，使建议更全面。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26高二上·重庆九校联盟·期中）Many people feel nervous in social situations. You might feel your heart beat fast, or find it hard to think clearly. The good news is that there are some practical ways to help you cope. Practice in low-pressure settings. Before a big event, try having short chats with people like waiters or neighbors. 1 . Over time, you will feel more comfortable as you venture into larger social settings. 2 . Come up with two or three simple conversation starters you can employ when your brain starts sputtering. That way, you’ll have something in your back pocket to continue the conversation. You can keep it going without having to freeze and leave to go to the bathroom. One typical example is, “that’s really interesting — tell me more about that”. Use the echo method. 3 , showing you are listening and caring. For instance, if they mention they’re struggling at work, repeat back their words with a question in your voice: “Struggling?” This makes them feel heard and encourages them to share more. Find an anchor. When you’re feeling anxious, hold a cold drink, touch an object like a toy, or simply press your feet into the floor. 4 , relieving your feelings of anxiety. Have an exit strategy ready. You might feel better if you let your friends know from the start that you will be able to stay only for a certain time. 5 . Doing so can help reduce anxiety about feeling trapped in a conversation. A. Be the starter of the talk B. Prepare a few go-to phrases C. Paraphrase what the other person just said D.

G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章就如何应对社交紧张，提供了一系列实用技巧。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Practice in low-pressure settings. Before a big event, try having short chats with people like waiters or neighbors.(在低压力环境下进行练习。在重要活动之前，试着与服务员或邻居等人员进行简短的交谈)”可知，前文建议在压力小的场景练习，比如和服务员、邻居简短聊天。D选项中的 these small interactions 指代前文的简短交流，说明这类练习的作用是慢慢建立自信，与后文“进入更大社交场合会更自在”衔接自然。D选项“这些微小的互动有助于你逐步建立起自信”符合语境，故选D。 (2)题解析： 根据后文“Come up with two or three simple conversation starters you can employ when your brain starts sputtering. That way, you’ll have something in your back pocket to continue the conversation. You can keep it going without having to freeze and leave to go to the bathroom. One typical example is, “that’s really interesting — tell me more about that”.(想出两三句简单的开场白，以便在大脑思维卡壳时能用上。这样，你就会有备用的话语来继续对话。这样就能让对话继续下去，而无需因思维停滞而离开去上厕所。一个常见的例子是：“这真的很有趣——能再跟我详细说说吗？”)”可知，空后提到准备两三个简单的开场白，避免聊天时大脑“卡壳”，还举例了具体话术。本句作为本段主旨句，B选项“准备一些常用表达”能精准概括整段内容。故选B。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“showing you are listening and caring. For instance, if they mention they’re struggling at work, repeat back their words with a question in your voice: “Struggling?” This makes them feel heard and encourages them to share more.(向对方表明你在倾听并关心着他们。例如，如果他们提到自己在工作中遇到了困难，你可以用疑问的语气重复他们的话并加以确认：“遇到困难了？” 这会让对方感到自己被倾听，从而鼓励他们进一步分享自己的情况)”以及本段主题是 the echo method（重复法），后文举例 “对方说工作有困难，你重复‘Struggling?’”，这正是 “复述对方的话”的具体体现，同时呼应“体现你在认真倾听”的目的。C选项“用自己的话复述对方刚才所说的内容”符合语境，故选C。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Find an anchor. When you’re feeling anxious, hold a cold drink, touch an object like a toy, or simply press your feet into the floor.(找一个支撑点。当你感到焦虑时，可以握一杯冰镇饮料，触摸一个物品（比如玩具），或者直接把脚压在地板上)”前文建议焦虑时握冷饮、摸小物件等动作，E选项中this simple action指代这些行为，说明其作用是让大脑专注当下，从而缓解焦虑，逻辑连贯。E选项“这一简单举动有助于你的大脑专注于当下”符合语境，故选E。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Have an exit strategy ready. You might feel better if you let your friends know from the start that you will be able to stay only for a certain time.(提前制定一个退出计划。如果能从一开始就让朋友们知道你只能停留一段时间的话，你可能会感觉好一些)”以及后文“Doing so can help reduce anxiety about feeling trapped in a conversation.( 这样做有助于减轻因担心在对话中陷入僵局而产生的焦虑情绪)”可知，本段主旨是 “准备退场策略”，前文说提前告知朋友停留时间，本句补充“构思礼貌结束对话的方法”，与后文“减少被困在对话里的焦虑”相呼应。G选项“同时，也建议你思考一些礼貌结束谈话的方法”符合语境，故选G。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·重庆渝东九校·期中）When it comes to losing weight, the key is finding an approach that feels easy to do for the long term. 1 . It’s about creating habits that make you feel great, keep your energy up and support your overall health. Why healthy weight loss matters Quick weight loss might sound attractive, but it often means losing water or muscle, not fat, and can slow your metabolism (新陈代谢). 2 . Habits that support long-term weight loss Diet plays a significant role in weight loss, but supportive habits are just as important. Take your time with meals and appreciate each bite. Paying attention to what you’re eating helps you tune into your body and stop when you’re full. Drinks like soda, sugary coffee or alcohol can add many extra calories without making you full. 3 . What to watch out for While focusing on what to eat is essential, knowing what to avoid can also help. 4 , but these can make you tired and want to eat even more, which can lead to eating too much. Watch out for “diet” foods, just because something says “low-fat” or “diet” doesn’t mean it’s healthy. These foods often have added sugars or artificial ingredients. It is worth checking the label. 5 . Healthy weight loss isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building a lifestyle you enjoy. Small changes, like adding more vegetables to your meals or swapping soda for water, may not seem like much, but they add up to lasting results over time. And remember that consistency over time beats perfection. A. A lifestyle, not a quick fix B. Focus on progress, not perfection C. Processed foods and sugary snacks taste great D. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale. E. Switching them for water, tea or black coffee can cut back significantly. F. Gradual weight loss gives your body time to adjust and helps build lasting habits. G. The best weight-loss strategies are about balance and flexibility, not detailed rules. 【答案】1. D 2. F 3. E 4. C 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了健康减肥的重要性以及一些有助于长期减肥的习惯和注意事项。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“When it comes to losing weight, the key is finding an approach that feels easy to do for the long term.(说到减肥，关键是找到一种能长期轻松坚持下去的方法。)”和下文“It’s about creating habits that make you feel great, keep your energy up and support your overall health(这件事的关键，是养成能让你身心舒畅、保持精力充沛并助力整体健康的习惯。)”可知，空处应承上启下，说明健康减肥不仅仅关注体重秤上的数字，而是关于创造良好的习惯。选项D“Healthy weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale.(健康的减肥不仅仅关注体重秤上的数字。)”符合语境。故选D。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Quick weight loss might sound attractive, but it often means losing water or muscle, not fat, and can slow your metabolism.(快速减重听起来或许很诱人，但这种减重方式减掉的往往是水分或肌肉，而非脂肪，还可能会减慢新陈代谢。)”可知，空处应承接上文，说明快速减肥的弊端，并引出下文健康减肥的好处。选项F“Gradual weight loss gives your body time to adjust and helps build lasting habits.(渐进式减肥让你的身体有时间适应，并有助于养成持久的习惯。)”符合语境。故选F。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Drinks like soda, sugary coffee or alcohol can add many extra calories without making you full.(像汽水、含糖咖啡或酒精这类饮品，会增加大量额外热量，却无法让你产生饱腹感。)”可知，空处应承接上文，说明应该如何处理这些饮料。选项E“Switching them for water, tea or black coffee can cut back significantly.(把它们换成水、茶或黑咖啡可以显著减少卡路里的摄入。)”符合语境。故选E。 (4)题解析： 根据下文“but these can make you tired and want to eat even more, which can lead to eating too much.(但这些会让你感到疲倦，甚至想吃得更多，从而导致吃得过多。)”可知，空处应与下文形成转折关系，说明某种食物虽然好吃，但会导致吃得过多。选项C“Processed foods and sugary snacks taste great(加工食品和含糖零食味道很好)”符合语境。故选C。 (5)题解析： 空处位于小标题处，根据下文“Healthy weight loss isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building a lifestyle you enjoy.(健康的减肥不是关于快速解决方案，而是关于建立一种你喜欢的生活方式。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是健康减肥是一种生活方式，而非快速解决方案。选项A“A lifestyle, not a quick fix.(一种生活方式，而非快速解决方案。)”符合语境。故选A。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·重庆渝北中学·期中）In today’s digital world, constant notifications and endless scrolling have made it increasingly difficult to maintain focus. Managing screen time is not just a preference but a necessity. 1 . Here are some practical tips to help you step back from screens and reclaim your attention. 2 Instead of having your phone within arm’s reach while working or studying, leave it in another room. You can also turn off all non-essential notifications to create a quieter, less interruptive space. This simple act reduces the urge to check it constantly, allowing you to dive deeper into your tasks. Schedule Your Screen Time 3 . For instance, you could decide to check social media for twenty minutes only after completing a chapter of revision. This transforms mindless browsing into a deliberate, time-bound reward, helping you stay on track and reinforce your self-control by making you the decision-maker, not your device. Replace Screens with Real-World Activities It is crucial to replace screen time with engaging offline activities. This could be reading a physical book, going for a walk in nature or dedicating time to a hands-on hobby like painting or playing an instrument. 4 . They not only provide a break but also help your brain recharge in ways that passive screen consumption does not. Use Tech with Purposes It is not to eliminate technology, but to shift from passive consumption to active control — to be the master of your devices, not their slaves. 5 . Before unlocking your phone or opening an app, pause for a second and ask yourself: “What is the purpose for this?” Is it for a specific task or is it just a mindless habit to fill a quiet moment? By consciously deciding when and how to use your devices, you cultivate a healthier relationship with technology, thus allowing you to harness its benefits without letting it control your attention and precious time. A. This begins with cultivating awareness B. Create a Distraction-Free Environment C. Set the last hour before bed as screen-free D. It may lead to a “superficial cognitive pattern” E. Set specific times for checking emails or social media F. Digital entertainment constantly breaks your concentration G. The key is to make offline activities as appealing as your digital ones 【答案】1. F 2. B 3. E 4. G 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在数字时代重建被分散的注意力的方法。 (1)题解析： 前文“In today’s digital world, constant notifications and endless scrolling have made it increasingly difficult to maintain focus. Managing screen time is not just a preference but a necessity. (在当今的数字世界里，不断的通知和无休止的滚动使得保持注意力越来越困难。管理屏幕时间不仅是一种偏好，而且是一种必要。)”描述数字时代难以集中注意力的现象，强调管理屏幕时间的必要性，后文“Here are some practical tips to help you step back from screens and reclaim your attention. (这里有一些实用的建议，可以帮助你远离屏幕，重新集中你的注意力。)”引出集中注意力的方法，因此F项“Digital entertainment constantly breaks your concentration (数字娱乐不断打断你的注意力)”符合语境，点明问题所在，承前启后。故选F。 (2)题解析： 后文“Instead of having your phone within arm’s reach while working or studying, leave it in another room. You can also turn off all non-essential notifications to create a quieter, less interruptive space. (工作或学习时，不要把手机放在伸手可及的地方，把它放在另一个房间。你也可以关掉所有不必要的通知，创造一个更安静、更少打扰的空间。)”具体建议将手机放在另一个房间，关闭通知，从而不被打扰，空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，因此B项“Create a Distraction-Free Environment (创造一个无干扰的环境)”符合语境，统领后文具体措施。故选B。 (3)题解析： 本段标题为“Schedule Your Screen Time (安排你的屏幕时间)”，后文“For instance, you could decide to check social media for twenty minutes only after completing a chapter of revision. (例如，你可以决定只在完成一个章节的复习后花20分钟查看社交媒体。)”举例说明如何限制自己查看社交媒体，因此E项“Set specific times for checking emails or social media (设定查看邮件或社交媒体的固定时间)”符合语境，给出管理屏幕时间的执行方法，呼应标题，后文是对其例证。故选E。 (4)题解析： 前文“This could be reading a physical book, going for a walk in nature or dedicating time to a hands-on hobby like painting or playing an instrument. (这可以是读一本实体书，在大自然中散步，或者花时间去做一个动手的爱好，比如画画或演奏乐器。)”列举读书、散步等真实世界的活动，后文“They not only provide a break but also help your brain recharge in ways that passive screen consumption does not. (它们不仅能让你休息一下，还能帮助你的大脑充电，这是被动看屏幕无法做到的。)”指出这些活动的重要作用，因此G项“The key is to make offline activities as appealing as your digital ones (关键是让线下活动像数字娱乐一样吸引人)”符合语境，点明做这些活动的核心原则，承前启后。故选G。 (5)题解析： 前文“It is not to eliminate technology, but to shift from passive consumption to active control — to be the master of your devices, not their slaves. (这并不是要消除技术，而是要从被动消费转变为主动控制——成为你的设备的主人，而不是它们的奴隶。)”强调主动掌控技术，后文“Before unlocking your phone or opening an app, pause for a second and ask yourself: “What is the purpose for this?” Is it for a specific task or is it just a mindless habit to fill a quiet moment? (在解锁手机或打开应用程序之前，暂停一秒钟，问问自己：“这样做的目的是什么？”是为了完成一项特定的任务，还是只是为了填补安静时刻的一种无意识的习惯？)”具体建议使用数字技术前自问目的，因此A项“This begins with cultivating awareness (这始于培养意识)”符合语境，指出从被动变主动的第一步是培养意识，承接前文，后文是对其展开说明。故选A。 Passage 5 （25-26高二上·重庆第一中学校·期中）Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking. 1 Mastering how to read it can completely change how you pick up on unspoken thoughts and vibes in interactions. So next time you’re in a meeting, watch for these key signals: Real smiles crinkle (使起皱) the eyes. When it comes to smiling, the mouth can smile but the eyes can’t. Real smiles reach the eyes, crinkling the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so next time you want to know if someone’s smile is real, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. 2 3 Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs, they do the same? Or perhaps they lean their heads the same way as yours when you’re talking? That’s actually a good sign. It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message. Eyes that lie. Most of us believe that it’s difficult to hold someone’s gaze (凝视) when they’re lying. But that’s such common knowledge that people will often try to hold eye contact, hoping to cover up the fact that they’re lying. 4 If you’re talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable or something is up and they might be lying to you. Even if you can’t decode someone’s exact thoughts, body language offers powerful clues to their true feelings and intentions. 5 A. Copying your body language is a good thing. B. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something. C. Good signs lead to good conversations in a meeting. D. You’ll have to find out how long they have looked at you. E. That’s especially true when words and body language don’t match. F. The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels. G. Research shows 55% of communication happens through body language. 【答案】1. G 2. B 3. A 4. F 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过解读肢体语言信号可洞察他人真实想法与感受。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking.(肢体语言提供了很多关于别人在想什么的信息。)”和下文“Mastering how to read it can completely change how you pick up on unspoken thoughts and vibes in interactions.(掌握解读肢体语言的方法能彻底改变你在互动中捕捉未言明想法和情绪的方式。)”可知，本空需强化肢体语言的重要性。G选项“Research shows 55% of communication happens through body language.(研究表明，55%的交流是通过肢体语言进行的。)”用具体数据佐证了肢体语言的重要价值，能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 (2)题解析： 由上文“People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so next time you want to know if someone’s smile is real, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes.(人们经常用微笑来隐藏自己的真实想法和感受，所以下次你想知道某人的微笑是否真实时，看看他们眼角的皱纹。)”可知，本段主要讲述如何通过观察眼角皱纹判断微笑是否真实，B选项“If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something.(如果它们不在那里，那个微笑就隐藏着什么。)”是对上文的总结，说明没有眼角皱纹的微笑可能隐藏着什么，符合题意。故选B。 (3)题解析： 由下文“Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs, they do the same? Or perhaps they lean their heads the same way as yours when you’ re talking? That’s actually a good sign.(你有没有遇到过这样的情况：在和某人开会时，你每次交叉或解开双腿，他们都会做同样的动作？或者当你说话时，他们的头和你的头倾斜的方向一样？这实际上是个好兆头。)”可知，本段主要讲述模仿对方肢体语言是好的信号，A选项“Copying your body language is a good thing.(模仿你的肢体语言是件好事。)”能概括本段内容，符合题意。故选A。 (4)题解析： 由上文“Most of us believe that it’s difficult to hold someone’s gaze (凝视) when they’re lying. But that’s such common knowledge that people will often try to hold eye contact, hoping to cover up the fact that they’ re lying.(我们大多数人都认为，当别人在说谎时，很难保持与他们的眼神交流。但这是常识，人们常常会试图保持眼神交流，希望掩盖他们在说谎的事实。)”可知，及下文“If you’ re talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable/ something is up and they might be lying to you.(如果你正在和一个让你不舒服的人说话/有点不对劲，他们可能在对你撒谎。)”可知，本空应强调保持眼神交流的行为可能存在的问题，F选项“The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels.(问题是，他们中的大多数人会保持眼神交流，直到感觉不对劲。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 (5)题解析： 由上文“Even if you can’t decode someone’s exact thoughts, body language offers powerful clues to their true feelings and intentions.(即使你无法解读他人的具体想法，肢体语言也能提供关于他们真实感受和意图的有力线索。)”可知，本空需要进一步补充肢体语言的参考价值，升华结尾观点。选项E“That’s especially true when words and body language don’t match.(当语言和肢体语言不一致时，这一点尤为正确。)”强调了肢体语言在“言行不一”场景下的重要性，让结尾内容更完整深刻。故选E。 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·重庆西南大学附中·期中）Bedtime rituals (仪式) At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite show but engaging in a regular bedtime ritual could actually help you sleep better. 1 And if you turn these bedtime activities into a ritual — that is, if you do them every night around the same time — you will be all the more likely to get the rest you need. What is a bedtime ritual? A bedtime ritual is a set of activities that you perform nightly in preparation for going to bed. 2 For children, 20 to 45 minutes should be enough time to wind down. Your bedtime ritual should include practices that help you relax, like having a cup of warm milk. It can also incorporate practical activities, like brushing your teeth or putting on pajamas. 3 . How to Create Your Own Bedtime Ritual? There’s no formula for the perfect bedtime ritual, so you might want to try several different activities before settling on a consistent routine. What’s important is figuring out what works for you. 4 If you enjoy exercise and movement, try yoga or gentle stretching. If you find comfort in order, create a to-do list for the next day. If classical music soothes you, turn on some Bach or Mozart while you enjoy a bath. And remember to prioritize comfort. Whether your bedtime ritual takes place in bed or somewhere else, make sure your environment is relaxing. 5 When the time comes to fall asleep, you’ll be ready. A. Avoid activities known to interfere with sleep. B. For adults, bedtime rituals typically last 30 minutes to an hour. C. Start out with two or three activities that help you feel relaxed. D. Settling down with some relaxing activities can tell your body it’s time to sleep. E. Wear comfortable pajamas, curl up under a cozy blanket, and keep the lights low. F. Sleeping behaviors develop during childhood and often become fixed patterns by adulthood. G. Whatever you choose to include in your ritual, the key is doing them consistently every night. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. G 4. C 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了睡前仪式的作用、定义以及如何为自己制定专属睡前仪式的相关方法。 (1)题解析： 由上文“At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite show but engaging in a regular bedtime ritual could actually help you sleep better. (在漫长的一天结束时，你可能想瘫倒在电视机前，看一集你最喜欢的节目，但有规律的睡前仪式实际上可以帮助你睡得更好)”可知，本空要说明睡前仪式帮助睡眠的具体原理，由后文“And if you turn these bedtime activities into a ritual (如果你把这些睡前活动变成一种仪式)”可知，本句要先提及睡前放松活动的作用，D选项“Settling down with some relaxing activities can tell your body it’s time to sleep (进行一些放松活动能让身体知道该睡觉了)”能承上启下，符合题意。D项中的“relaxing activities”与后文“bedtime activities”相对应。故选D。 (2)题解析： 由上文“A bedtime ritual is a set of activities that you perform nightly in preparation for going to bed. (睡前仪式是你每晚为入睡做准备的一系列活动)”可知，本空会进一步补充睡前仪式的相关细节，由后文“For children, 20 to 45 minutes should be enough-time to wind down. (对于儿童来说，20 到 45 分钟的放松时间就足够了)”可知，本句应是介绍成年人睡前仪式的时长，B选项“For adults, bedtime rituals typically last 30 minutes to an hour. (对于成年人来说，睡前仪式通常持续30分钟到1小时)”能形成对应，符合题意。B项中的“For adults”与后文“For children”相对应。故选B。 (3)题解析： 由上文“Your bedtime ritual should include practices that help you relax, like having a cup of warm milk. It can also incorporate practical activities, like brushing your teeth or putting on pajamas. (你的睡前仪式应该包含能帮你放松的活动，比如喝杯温牛奶。也可以加入一些实用活动，比如刷牙或换上睡衣)”可知，本空会对睡前仪式的活动选择进行总结，G选项“Whatever you choose to include in your ritual, the key is doing them consistently every night. (无论你选择在仪式中加入什么活动，关键是每晚坚持去做)”能承接前文，符合题意。G项中的“Whatever you choose to include”与前文列举的各类活动相对应。故选G。 (4)题解析： 由上文“There’s no formula for the perfect bedtime ritual, so you might want to try several different activities before settling on a consistent routine. (完美的睡前仪式没有固定模式，所以在确定固定流程前你可以尝试几种不同活动)”可知，本空会给出制定睡前仪式的具体起步建议，由后文“If you enjoy exercise and movement, try yoga or gentle stretching.(如果你喜欢锻炼和运动，可以尝试瑜伽或温和的伸展运动)”等举例可知，本句应是建议从少量放松活动开始，C选项“Start out with two or three activities that help you feel relaxed. (从两到三个能让你放松的活动开始)”能引出下文，符合题意。C项中的“two or three activities”与后文列举的各类活动相对应。故选C。 (5)题解析： 由上文“And remember to prioritize comfort. Whether your bedtime ritual takes place in bed or somewhere else, make sure your environment is relaxing.

I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success? Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon. 2 That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones. 3 So, instead of aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day, you would find three new walking routes to enjoy. 4 A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t. Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to. 5 Participants who firmly believed they would still exercise even when tired, working late or going through a stressful life event were 73 per cent more likely to regularly attend the gym. Making exercise a priority is crucial. In summary, setting yourself up for successful fitness resolutions means choosing the right goal for you, making exercise fun and devising a plan to stick with it. A. Commitment was also key. B. Sports safety came the second. C. The challenge, of course, is getting it through. D. There are other things to consider when creating a fitness goal. E. What should be emphasized more is to accomplish a specific result. F. However, outcome-based goals may actually hold back fitness ambitions. G. The focus is on developing strategies involved in performing a certain task. 【答案】1. C 2. F 3. G 4. D 5. A 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。主要说明新年适合定运动目标，但坚持难度大；建议新手选学习型目标而非结果型，还需兼顾运动乐趣与坚持投入，才能实现健身决心。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“Whether you are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast, the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal.(无论你是喜欢窝在沙发上看电视的人，还是热衷于健身的人，新年伊始都是设定健身目标的绝佳时机)”以及后文“A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year. I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success?(一项针对 1000 多人的研究发现，只有约半数人能将新年决心坚持一整年。就我自己而言，多年来我一直尝试在人生清单上划掉 “跑半程马拉松” 这一项，却屡屡失败。要是想让今年有所不同，该如何为成功的目标设定做好准备呢？)”可知，前文提到新年适合设定运动目标，后文则指出研究显示仅约半数人能将决心坚持一年，且作者自身也多年未能完成半马目标，空格处需起到承上启下的过渡作用。C选项“当然，挑战在于将其坚持到底”既衔接了前文的目标设定，又引出了后文的坚持难题，符合语境。故选C。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon.(首先，你可能需要重新审视自己的目标设定。大多数建议都主张设定具体的体育锻炼目标。这些目标旨在达成某种特定的结果。比如每天走10000步，或者像我这样，参加半程马拉松比赛)”可知，前文介绍了常见的结果导向型运动目标（如每天走1万步、跑半马），后文则转折提出新手应选择学习型目标而非表现型目标，说明结果导向型目标存在不足。F选项“然而，基于结果的目标实际上可能会阻碍健身抱负”能实现前后逻辑的转折，引出后文的新观点。故选F。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones.(这就是为什么澳大利亚南十字星大学的克里斯蒂安·斯旺建议，对于刚开始锻炼的人而言，应当设定学习目标而非成绩目标)”可知，前文提出新手应选学习型目标，空格处需对学习型目标进行具体解释。G选项“其重点是掌握完成某项任务所需的策略”，明确了学习型目标的核心，与后文“找三条新步行路线”的例子相呼应，符合文意。故选G。 (4)题解析： 根据后文“A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t.

Making exercise a priority is crucial.(那些坚信即便在疲惫不堪、工作到很晚或者遭遇压力性生活事件的情况下仍会坚持锻炼的参与者，定期去健身房的几率要高出73%。将锻炼列为优先事项至关重要)”可知，前文提到“乐趣”是坚持运动的关键因素之一，后文则指出坚信自己在疲惫、忙碌等情况下仍会运动的人更易规律健身，强调了坚持的重要性。A选项“投入度也很关键”能衔接前后文，引出后文对“坚持信念”的论述，符合逻辑。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26高二上·重庆凤鸣山中学·期中）Embracing Imperfections — A Journey of Self-Acceptance Life is a series of ups and downs, and along the way, we often make mistakes.

It's crucial to remember that no one is perfect and we all fall at times.”（生活是一系列的起起落落，在这条路上，我们经常会犯错误。重要的是要记住，人无完人，我们都会有失败的时候。）提到人无完人，都会犯错。以及下文“Instead, let's shift our mindset and learn to embrace our imperfections as opportunities for growth.”（相反，让我们转变我们的心态，学会接受我们的不完美作为成长的机会。）说到我们面对错误或者不完美的态度。结合选项C项We shouldn’t beat ourselves up over our errors.（我们不应该为自己的错误自责。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，下文是对空格处的语意递进，为相反情况的补充说明。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“As we all know, a butterfly emerges from its cocoon (茧).”（我们都知道，蝴蝶破茧而出。）举例说明变化的观点。以及下文“Reflect on the lessons learned from each mistake and the wisdom gained along the way.”（反思从每个错误中吸取的教训和一路上获得的智慧。）说明从错误中吸取教训。结合选选A项We too can transform and develop through our errors.（我们也可以从错误中得到转变和发展。）可知，和上文内容紧密连接，同时引起下文，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Take a moment to appreciate your unique characteristics and qualities that make you who you are.”（花点时间欣赏自己独特的性格和品质，正是这些让你成为了现在的自己。）提到花点时间欣赏自己独特的性格和品质。以及下文“Celebrate these strengths and recognize that they contribute to your individuality.”（赞美这些优点，并认识到它们有助于你的个性。）讲的是赞美这些优点。结合选项的D项Are you trustworthy, creative, or a great problemsolver?（你是值得信赖的，有创造力的，还是一个伟大的问题解决者？）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，下文中的these strengths指的就是空格处提到的内容，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 根据下文“Share your experiences with trusted friends or those who can offer advice and wisdom. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you to embrace your imperfections and pursue growth.”（与值得信赖的朋友或那些能提供建议和智慧的人分享你的经历。和那些能让你振作起来、激励你拥抱自己的不完美、追求成长的人在一起。）提到与欣赏自己的人交往的好处。结合选项F项It’s also helpful to seek support and guidance from others.（向他人寻求支持和指导也很有帮助。）可知，和下文内容意思一致，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选F项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Now, let's redirect our focus to self-care.”（现在，让我们把注意力转移到自我照顾上。）以及“Remember, the most successful people have encountered countless setbacks on their path to greatness.”（记住，最成功的人在通往伟大的道路上都遭遇过无数的挫折。）可知，讲的是把注意力转移到自我照顾上。结合选项B项So treat yourself with kindness and understanding.（所以善待和理解自己吧。）可知，和该段主旨意思一致，为总结上文内容，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·重庆万州第二高级中学·期中）Sometimes you know that you should decline a request, but somehow end up reluctantly taking on an additional responsibility. 1 If you struggle with setting boundaries, don’t despair. Here are ways to sharpen this tool. Don’t ignore how you feel. Emotions are not just in your head. You can feel them throughout your body. When someone approaches you with a request, pay attention to your body’s response. It tells you how to respond before you even say a word. For example, as they speak, you might feel muscle tension. 2 Don’t overexplain yourself. In an effort to cope with difficult emotions such as guilt, you tend to overshare the reasons for refusal. However, the more information you share, the more likely you are to be manipulated into saying yes. Sharing information gives others the opportunity to break through your boundaries. 3 You can be kind and direct when setting boundaries. 4 When someone approaches you with a request, a common method is to buy time. By doing this, you hope that they will forget it, and that you will be off the hook. However, this method does not work. Not resolving the matter in real time allows emotional forces such as guilt to influence you. As a result, a delayed no may turn into a reluctant yes. Set boundaries often. Becoming proficient in any skill takes time, and so does setting boundaries. Initially, it may be uncomfortable. You may struggle for words or not sound convincing, but over time, it gets easier. 5 Constantly walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting people is an exhausting way to live. A. Don’t delay giving your response. B. Don’t ignore the method of delay. C. That’s your body’s signal to refuse. D. The reason is that you lack firm boundaries. E. Remember, not setting boundaries is tough too. F. When saying no, you should keep it short and sweet. G. Try to understand others’ perspectives before setting boundaries. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. F 4. A 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何学会设定界限，以保护自己的时间和精力不被过度侵占。 (1)题解析： 前文“Sometimes you know that you should decline a request, but somehow end up reluctantly taking on an additional responsibility.(有时你知道应该拒绝某个请求，但不知为何最终还是勉强承担起了额外的责任。)”描述了一种矛盾的行为，即明明知道应该拒绝请求，但最终还是不情愿地承担了额外的责任。这就引发了读者对于产生这种行为原因的思考。D选项“The reason is that you lack firm boundaries.(原因是你缺乏坚定的界限。)”直截了当地指出原因是缺乏坚定的界限。这不仅合理地解释了前文所描述的现象，还自然地引出了后文关于如何设定界限的内容，起到了很好的承上启下的作用，因此承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 (2)题解析： 本段的小标题是“Don’t ignore how you feel.(不要忽视自己的感受。)”，强调不要忽视自身的感受。空前“When someone approaches you with a request, pay attention to your body’s response. It tells you how to respond before you even say a word.(当有人向你提出请求时，注意你身体的反应。它甚至在你开口之前就告诉了你该如何回应。)”和“For example, as they speak, you might feel muscle tension. (例如，当他们说话时，你可能会感到肌肉紧张。)”指出当有人带着请求靠近时，要留意身体反应，它会在开口前告知如何回应，并举例说可能会感到肌肉紧张。C选项“That’s your body’s signal to refuse.(那是你的身体在发出拒绝的信号。)”表明这种肌肉紧张（前文提到的身体反应） 就是身体发出的拒绝信号，很好地承接了前文关于身体对他人请求会产生反应的内容，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选C。 (3)题解析： 本段小标题是“Don’t overexplain yourself.(不要过度解释自己。)”，说明本段核心观点是在拒绝时不要过度分享拒绝的理由，空前说“Sharing information gives others the opportunity to break through your boundaries.(分享信息给了别人突破你界限的机会。)”说明了分享信息会让你突破界限，F选项“When saying no, you should keep it short and sweet.(在说“不”时，你应该简短而令人愉快。)”说明说不的时候应该简洁明了且友好。这与该段不要过度解释的主旨高度契合，直接给出了在设定界限（拒绝他人）时应采取的方式，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 (4)题解析： 此空是该段的小标题，由空后“When someone approaches you with a request, a common method is to buy time. By doing this, you hope that they will forget it, and that you will be off the hook. However, this method does not work. Not resolving the matter in real time allows emotional forces such as guilt to influence you. As a result, a delayed no may turn into a reluctant yes.(当有人向你提出请求时，一个常见的方法是拖延时间。你希望这样做能让他们忘记请求，而你也能摆脱困境。然而，这个方法并不奏效。不及时解决问题会让内疚等情绪力量影响你。结果，一个迟迟未说的“不”可能会变成一个勉强的“是”。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要及时给回应，A选项“Don’t delay giving your response.(不要拖延给出回应。)”说明了不要拖延给回应，准确概括了该段围绕不要拖延给回应的相关论述，作为小标题很合适。故选A。 (5)题解析： 前文“Initially, it may be uncomfortable. You may struggle for words or not sound convincing, but over time, it gets easier.(一开始，你可能会觉得不自在。你可能会为找不到合适的词语而挣扎，或者听起来不够有说服力，但随着时间的推移，这会变得更容易。)”提到设定界限一开始可能会让人感到不舒服，表达自己的想法时可能会词不达意或者缺乏说服力，但随着时间推移会变得容易，空格处应该说和设定界限是否容易有关。E选项“Remember, not setting boundaries is tough too.(记住，不设定界限也很难。)”提醒读者要记住，不设定界限同样会很艰难。这进一步强调了设定界限的必要性，与后文“Constantly walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting people is an exhausting way to live.(总是小心翼翼地生怕得罪别人，这种生活方式会让人筋疲力尽。)”所描述的不设定界限，总是小心翼翼怕得罪人的疲惫生活状态相呼应，从反面说明了设定界限的重要性，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境。故选E。 Passage 5 （25-26高二上·重庆铁路中学校·期中）The process of sorting through my childhood stuff started out easy. At first, I was excited to toss everything out. But as the bedroom emptied out, I felt a creeping sense of sadness. My childhood was over, and I entered full-fledged (成熟的) adulthood. And I wondered: 1 In short, yes. 2 That’s because going through your old stuff can possibly stir up difficult emotions or sweet memories. Whatever emotions pop up, accept them, and it will help you process it faster. Before you start sorting, determine how much storage space you’re willing to devote to your childhood items. 3 You may have limited space for old stuff. But listen to your heart. If you’re sentimental and you want to hold on to stuff, hold on to it. You can always get rid of it later. During this process, it can be useful to have someone you trust by your side. They can help you honor the memories associated with each object and let go. 4 They know which life experiences mean the most to you. And you don’t have to pile your childhood stuff in the attic (阁楼). 5 You can take photos, which you can revisit any time on your phone or computer. Or you can turn them into an art project and display it in a shadow box. Remember, there is someone who care enough to hold on all old stuff for you. This is a value of all of the time and effort and money your parents have poured into you. This has been saved in love. A. Get creative and think outside the box. B. Could my childhood memories be regained? C. You can find meaning in your life experiences. D. Loved ones can also help you decide what to save. E. But it will probably still be a bittersweet experience. F. That will help you figure out how much stuff you can keep. G. Was there a less heartbreaking, more strategic way to do this? 【答案】1. G 2. E 3. F 4. D 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何更有策略性地整理童年物品。 (1)题解析： 前文“At first, I was excited to toss everything out. But as the bedroom emptied out, I felt a creeping sense of sadness. My childhood was over, and I entered full-fledged (成熟的) adulthood.(起初，我很兴奋地把所有东西都扔掉。但当卧室空无一人时，我感到一种隐隐的悲伤。我的童年结束了，我进入了成熟的成年期)”表明作者在扔掉童年物品后有了悲伤感，后文“In short, yes.(简而言之，是的)”是空处问题的回答；G选项“有没有一种不那么令人心碎、更有策略的方法来做到这一点”引出下文主题，符合语境，其中less heartbreaking与前文sense of sadness相呼应。故选G。 (2)题解析： 后文“That’s because going through your old stuff can possibly stir up difficult emotions or sweet memories.(这是因为翻看你的旧东西可能会激起不好的情绪或甜蜜的回忆)”表示新方法还是会激起过去的情绪；E选项“但这可能仍然是一段苦乐参半的经历”表明新的方法还是一段苦乐参半的经历，其中bittersweet与后文difficult emotions or sweet memories呼应。故选E。 (3)题解析： 前文“Before you start sorting, determine how much storage space you’re willing to devote to your childhood items.(在你开始分类之前，确定你愿意为你的童年物品投入多少存储空间)”表示分类前应确定储存空间；F选项“这将帮助你计算出你可以保留多少东西”为前面这么做的目的，符合语境。故选F。 (4)题解析： 前文“During this process, it can be useful to have someone you trust by your side. They can help you honor the memories associated with each object and let go.(在这个过程中，有一个你信任的人在你身边是很有用的。它们可以帮助你尊重与每件物品相关的记忆，然后放手)”可知，前文说明需要一个人陪着你整理物品；D选项“你爱的人也可以帮你决定该存什么”与前文语境一致，且后文“他们知道哪些生活经历对你来说最重要”说明了他们可以帮助选择的原因。故选D。 (5)题解析： 前文“And you don’t have to pile your childhood stuff in the attic.(你也不必把童年的东西堆在阁楼上)”说明无需将东西放在阁楼上，后文“You can take photos, which you can revisit any time on your phone or computer. Or you can turn them into an art project and display it in a shadow box.(你可以拍照，可以随时在手机或电脑上查看。或者你可以把它们变成一个艺术项目，并在一个阴影盒中展示它)”提出了一些新的储存思路；A选项“要有创意，跳出思维定势”承上启下，引出下文新的想法，符合语境。故选A。 Passage 6 （25-26高二上·重庆育才中学·期中）How do you write a letter to your future self?

These hurtful words can prevent self-improvement E. You can write the letter as far into the future as you like F. Consider including questions for your future self in your letter G. You could talk about a project you’ve started that you hope to finish 【答案】1. E 2. B 3. G 4. F 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何给未来的自己写一封信，提供了五个具体建议，包括确定写信的未来时间点、阐述当下生活情况、表达期望、提出问题以及给予自我善意与感激。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“The content of your letter to your future self might change depending on whether you’re writing for someone three months or three years into the future. (你给未来自己的信，内容会因是写给三个月后还是三年后的自己而不同)”以及下文“You can also write several letters to different future selves. (你也可以给不同未来时间点的自己写好几封信)”可知，上文说信的内容会因时间选择不同而不同，下文说你可以多写几封信，E选项“You can write the letter as far into the future as you like. (你可以把信写给未来任意时间点的自己)”承接上文“未来时间点选择”的话题，说明时间点选择的灵活性，“as far into the future as you like”与上文“three months or three years”形成范围上的扩展，同时为下文“写给不同未来自己”做铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 (2)题解析： 根据设空位置和下文“As you write the content of your letter, provide context for your future self. Consider dating the letter and including a summary of what’s happening in your life. (写信时，为未来的自己提供背景信息。可以在信上标注日期，并简要说明你当下的生活状况)”可知，下文说当你写信的内容时，为未来的自己提供背景信息，B选项“Talk about what’s going on in your life (聊聊你当下的生活情况)”是对下文内容的核心概括，“what’s going on in your life”与下文“what’s happening in your life”直接呼应，准确提炼了本段“为未来自己提供当下生活背景”的建议，适合作为段落小标题。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 根据上文“Talk about what you hope your future self has achieved. (谈谈你希望未来的自己实现了什么)”可知，上文说谈谈你希望未来的自己期许，G选项“You could talk about a project you’ve started that you hope to finish (你可以聊聊你已经开始、并希望未来能完成的某个项目)”是对“表达期望”的具体举例，“a project you’ve started that you hope to finish”属于“希望实现的事”，与上文“what you hope your future self has achieved”相契合，使建议更具体可操作。故选G项。 (4)题解析： 根据本段小标题“Ask yourself questions (给自己提问题)”以及下文“Ask whether you got closer to a new friend, or if something you were looking forward to happened. (比如问问自己，是否和新朋友的关系更近了，或者你期待的某件事是否发生了)”可知，本段主要讲的是给未来的自己提问，F选项“Consider including questions for your future self in your letter (考虑在信中加入给未来自己的问题)”直接呼应小标题，“questions for your future self”与下文具体问题示例形成“总—分”逻辑，起到统领段落的作用。故选F项。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“Try not to include criticism about yourself in the letter. (尽量不要在信中加入对自己的批评)”可知，上文说不要在信中批评自己，D选项“These hurtful words can prevent self-improvement (这些伤人的话会阻碍自我提升)”中的“These hurtful words”指代上文“criticism about yourself”，解释了“不要批评自己”的原因 —— 批评性语言有害且不利于成长，逻辑通顺。故选D项。 Passage 7 （25-26高二上·重庆第十一中学校教育集团·期中）Spending time in the sun can be beneficial. 1 This is because the sun causes changes in the body that require more effort, leading to tiredness. What can you do to safely spend time in the sun? Here’s some advice. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. Drink water before you even feel thirsty. 2 And remember to drink water before you get into the sun as well as throughout the time you’re spending outside. While electrolyte beverages (电解质饮品) can be useful if you’re sweating a lot, it’s best to drink water when you’re out in the sun. Protect your skin from sunburn. Use sunscreen (防晒霜) that has an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply it every two hours, or after swimming or sweating when you’re outside. Also, wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and hats. 3 This is when the sun’s rays are strongest and can cause the most skin damage. Don’t lie in the sun just to darken your skin, which speeds up the aging of your skin and increases your risk for all types of skin cancer. 4 Wear lightweight and loose clothing, drink a cold beverage, go for a swim in the pool, use a fan and seek shade. This can greatly assist in lowering your body temperature, allowing you to expend less energy on regulating your body heat. Watch for signs that you need to see a doctor.

However, becoming a space traveler requires more than just a ticket — it demands careful preparation in several key areas. Engage in Physical Training 1 . You will experience powerful gravity during launch and re-entry, and live in microgravity while in orbit. Therefore, prospective travelers must undergo a specialized fitness training to ensure their bodies can stand the physical demands of the voyage. This preparation is crucial for space sickness. Cultivate Mental Strength While physical health is vital, psychological preparedness is equally important. A space mission involves staying in a small spacecraft, isolation, and the need to remain calm under pressure. 2 . Thus, developing a determined and adaptable mindset is essential for dealing with the mental frontier of space travel. Master the Procedures and Systems Before your launch, you will receive comprehensive training on the spacecraft’s systems and flight procedures. 3 Knowing what to expect during each phase, from liftoff to orbit and re-entry, will ease anxiety and allow you to engage more fully with the journey. 4 Life in space requires relearning everyday activities in a weightless environment. 5 . You will use soapy towels to clean yourself, as water does not flow but floats. Practicing with similar items on Earth can help you adapt more quickly once you slip Earth’s gravity, making your daily routine in space more efficient. A. Adapt to Daily Life in Microgravity B. Improve Efficiency in Daily Routine C. These challenges test astronauts’ psychology vastly D. Space presents extreme challenges to the human body E. Space travel brings psychological and emotional challenges F. Eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene are conducted differently G. This includes learning the vehicle’s operations during emergency 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. G 4. A 5.

A key factor for that is stress management: Studies show older adults exhibit calmer responses under pressure. 1 . Emotional intelligence deepens with time. While youth often hold back emotions, older adults excel in looking at challenges differently. 2 . So elders are always honored as our life instructors. “When your time is more limited, you may focus on meaningful things that can benefit you now instead of in the future,” says Feng. 3 Long-term partnerships frequently reach peak satisfaction in their 60s and 70s. Women, in particular, report heightened emotional fulfillment despite physical changes. This agrees with broader happiness trends and studies now suggest the longer you are with your life partner, the closer you will be. Critically, mindset shapes outcomes. 4 .A landmark study found that people embracing positive aging lived 7.5 years longer than those resigned to decline. “How we age isn’t predetermined,” Feng emphasizes. “We really have so much more control over how we age than we think we do, and that can empower you to make decisions that are good for you.” From stress management to daily joy, the data underlines aging as an ongoing process of growth—not just loss. 5 . A. Closeness often improves with age B. Elders are confronted with more challenges C. This kind of wisdom improves emotional intelligence D. In turn, these positive reactions lead to better mental health E. It’s a common belief that older adults are less capable of handling moods F. Therefore, if our attitude makes a positive change, we can lead a better later life G. What we think about aging has a huge impact on how we actually experience it 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. G 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。短文打破了衰老仅与衰退相关的固有认知，强调衰老也是持续成长的过程，从压力管理、情绪智力、伴侣关系和心态等方面，阐述了衰老带来的积极变化。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“Studies show older adults exhibit calmer responses under pressure.(研究表明，老年人在压力下表现出更平静的反应)”可知，此空应承接“平静反应”，说明其带来的积极影响，D选项“In turn, these positive reactions lead to better mental health (反过来，这些积极的反应会带来更好的心理健康)”中的these positive reactions指代前文的“calmer responses”，且体现了逻辑递进关系，符合语境。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 根据本段小标题“Emotional intelligence deepens with time.(情绪智力会随着时间的推移而加深)”以及空前“older adults excel in looking at challenges differently.(老年人擅长以不同的方式看待挑战)”可知，此空需连接“看待挑战的方式”与“情绪智力”的关联，C选项“This kind of wisdom improves emotional intelligence(这种智慧会提升情绪智力)”中的This kind of wisdom指代老年人应对挑战的方式，且直接呼应本段主题，符合语境。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，与其他段落格式一致，需简洁概括段落核心内容。根据空后“Long-term partnerships frequently reach peak satisfaction in their 60s and 70s.(长期伴侣关系通常在60多岁和70多岁时达到满意度顶峰)”和“the longer you are with your life partner, the closer you will be.(你和人生伴侣相处的时间越长，你们的关系就会越亲密)”可知，本段围绕“年龄增长与亲密关系提升”展开，A选项“Closeness often improves with age(亲密感往往会随着年龄增长而提升)”精准概括本段主题，适合作小标题。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 根据本段小标题“Critically, mindset shapes outcomes.(关键在于，心态塑造结果)”以及空后“A landmark study found that people embracing positive aging lived 7.5 years longer than those resigned to decline.(一项具有里程碑意义的研究发现，持积极衰老态度的人比接受衰退的人多活了7.5年)”可知，此空需引出“对衰老的想法”与“实际衰老体验”的关联，G选项“What we think about aging has a huge impact on how we actually experience it(我们对衰老的看法，会对我们实际体验衰老的方式产生巨大影响)”直接呼应小标题中的“心态”，且为后文研究内容做铺垫，符合语境。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 根据前文““How we age isn’t predetermined,” Feng emphasizes. “We really have so much more control over how we age than we think we do, and that can empower you to make decisions that are good for you.”(冯教授强调：“我们如何衰老并非命中注定。我们对衰老方式的掌控力远比想象中要强，这能让你有能力做出对自己有利的决定”)”可知，此空需对前文“心态可控、影响衰老”的内容进行总结，F选项“Therefore, if our attitude makes a positive change, we can lead a better later life(因此，如果我们的态度发生积极转变，就能拥有更美好的晚年生活)”中的therefore体现因果逻辑，承接前文核心观点，给出积极结论，符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 1 （25-26高二上·重庆第八中学校·期中）Being one of the most varied foods, eggs are a great addition to any diet. Not only are they easier to add to just about any meal, but they are also incredibly nutritious and support overall health. 1 You may experience better brain function. Eggs provide choline (胆碱) — a key substance that enhances communication between brain cells, ensuring messages are delivered efficiently like a well-organized delivery system. Thus, eating eggs regularly can strengthen your memory. 2 What’s more, the nutrients in eggs act like brain fuel, keeping you focused during classes or while doing homework. You may have healthier eyes. Eating eggs helps protect your eyes with natural substances that act as natural sunglasses, blocking harmful light like screen blue light. Egg yolks contain more eye guarding nutrients than carrots, reducing eye fatigue (疲劳) during study sessions. 3 You can have stronger muscles and bones. Eggs provide quality protein for muscle repair after exercise, while their vitamin D works with other nutrients like calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones. 4 Regular consumption supports muscle growth during daily activities and keeps bones strong. 5 It may seem like other foods are much better at making you feel full, but eggs are actually an excellent selection to help you keep it that way. They are the ideal mix of protein and fat and can be extremely satisfying and filling. By consuming more eggs, you are able to significantly decrease short term food and snacks. A. Eggs are a good source when you’re busy B. You can have a full stomach for longer time. C. You can get more protein after having an egg. D. So regular egg consumption helps maintain clear vision. E.

Some people believe money is just a tool for buying material things, but this view is far from comprehensive. 1 Consider the stories of great minds in history. Madame Curie, for example, turned down a large sum of money that came with her Nobel Prize. Instead of using it for personal comfort, she invested all her funds in further scientific research. 2 This is because the discoveries she made later helped save millions of lives, a value no amount of immediate pleasure could match. 3 Think about a community park. Many people may wonder why the local government spends money building and maintaining it instead of using the funds elsewhere. But the park is more than just green space. It provides a place for children to play, for the elderly to exercise, and for neighbors to communicate. 4 In the long run, this kind of investment in public well-being brings far more value than short-term material gains. However, it’s important to remember that the way we use money reflects our values. Some people chase after luxury goods, believing that owning them shows success. 5 Whether it’s a scientist devoting funds to research or an ordinary person donating to a community project, the key is to let money serve a purpose beyond immediate satisfaction. In this way, money truly realizes its greatest value. A. Similar logic applies to our daily lives, even in small matters. B. They think that the more expensive things they have, the more respected they will be. C. On the contrary, money should be saved for emergencies rather than spent on public projects. D. Her choice showed that money, when used for meaningful goals, can become a bridge to human progress. E. Its true worth lies not in what it can buy immediately, but in how it can create possibilities for the future. F. Every dollar spent on it strengthens the connection between people and improves the quality of community life. G. Others, though, choose to spend money on things that have lasting impacts, like education, charity, or personal growth. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. A 4. F 5. G 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。本文探讨金钱的真正价值，否定其仅为购买物质的工具，以居里夫人、社区公园为例，强调金钱应用于有意义目标，实现长远价值。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Some people believe money is just a tool for buying material things, but this view is far from comprehensive.(有些人认为金钱只是购买物质的工具，但这种观点远非全面。)”可知，前文否定了“金钱仅用于购买物质”的片面看法，空格处需提出金钱真正价值的核心观点。E项“Its true worth lies not in what it can buy immediately, but in how it can create possibilities for the future.(它的真正价值不在于能立即买到什么，而在于它如何为未来创造可能性。)”符合语境，“Its” 指代“money”，本句直接回应前文“view is far from comprehensive”，点明金钱的深层价值，承上启下。故选E项。 (2)题解析： 由上文“Madame Curie, for example, turned down a large sum of money that came with her Nobel Prize. Instead of using it for personal comfort, she invested all her funds in further scientific research.(例如，居里夫人拒绝了诺贝尔奖所附带的一大笔奖金。她没有将这笔钱用于改善个人生活，而是把所有资金都投入了进一步的科学研究中。)”和下文“This is because the discoveries she made later helped save millions of lives, a value no amount of immediate pleasure could match.(这是因为她后来的发现拯救了数百万人的生命，这种价值是任何即时享乐都无法比拟的。)”可知，空格处需衔接居里夫人的行为与“金钱服务于有意义目标”的观点，D项“Her choice showed that money, when used for meaningful goals, can become a bridge to human progress.(她的选择表明，当金钱用于有意义的目标时，能成为人类进步的桥梁。)”符合语境，“Her choice”指代“投资科研”，“used for meaningful goals”呼应下文“discoveries helped save millions of lives”和“bridge to human progress”，升华行为意义，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 由上文以居里夫人为例说明金钱的价值及下文“Think about a community park. Many people may wonder why the local government spends money building and maintaining it instead of using the funds elsewhere.(想想社区公园这个例子。很多人可能会疑惑，为什么当地政府要花钱修建并维护它，而不是把这些资金用在其他地方。)”可知，空格处需实现“历史案例”到“日常生活案例”的过渡。A项“Similar logic applies to our daily lives, even in small matters.(类似的逻辑也适用于我们的日常生活，即使是小事。)”符合语境，“Similar logic”承接前文“金钱服务于有意义目标”，“daily lives, even in small matters”引出下文“社区公园”的日常案例，衔接自然。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 由上文“But the park is more than just green space. It provides a place for children to play, for the elderly to exercise, and for neighbors to communicate.

Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them? Here are some simple tips. Choose the right videos Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 1 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time. Watch with a goal Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this?” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 2 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively. Don’t watch too many at once It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 3 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend. Use subtitles (字幕) Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 4 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences. Practice what you learn Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 5 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick. A. This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply. B. They should be clear and not too fast. C. If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home. D. This makes it easier to follow, even if the speaker talks fast. E. You can also use them to check your pronunciation. F. Keep this question in your mind while watching. G. Some videos can help you relax after a long day. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·重庆九校联盟·期中）Many people feel nervous in social situations. You might feel your heart beat fast, or find it hard to think clearly. The good news is that there are some practical ways to help you cope. Practice in low-pressure settings. Before a big event, try having short chats with people like waiters or neighbors. 1 . Over time, you will feel more comfortable as you venture into larger social settings. 2 . Come up with two or three simple conversation starters you can employ when your brain starts sputtering. That way, you’ll have something in your back pocket to continue the conversation. You can keep it going without having to freeze and leave to go to the bathroom. One typical example is, “that’s really interesting — tell me more about that”. Use the echo method. 3 , showing you are listening and caring. For instance, if they mention they’re struggling at work, repeat back their words with a question in your voice: “Struggling?” This makes them feel heard and encourages them to share more. Find an anchor. When you’re feeling anxious, hold a cold drink, touch an object like a toy, or simply press your feet into the floor. 4 , relieving your feelings of anxiety. Have an exit strategy ready. You might feel better if you let your friends know from the start that you will be able to stay only for a certain time. 5 . Doing so can help reduce anxiety about feeling trapped in a conversation. A. Be the starter of the talk B. Prepare a few go-to phrases C. Paraphrase what the other person just said D. These small interactions help you build confidence slowly E. This simple action helps your brain focus on the present moment F. It creates a physical sense of security that push you to the finish line G. It’s also a good idea to brainstorm some ways to politely wrap up talks Passage 3 （25-26高二上·重庆渝东九校·期中）When it comes to losing weight, the key is finding an approach that feels easy to do for the long term. 1 . It’s about creating habits that make you feel great, keep your energy up and support your overall health. Why healthy weight loss matters Quick weight loss might sound attractive, but it often means losing water or muscle, not fat, and can slow your metabolism (新陈代谢). 2 . Habits that support long-term weight loss Diet plays a significant role in weight loss, but supportive habits are just as important. Take your time with meals and appreciate each bite. Paying attention to what you’re eating helps you tune into your body and stop when you’re full. Drinks like soda, sugary coffee or alcohol can add many extra calories without making you full. 3 . What to watch out for While focusing on what to eat is essential, knowing what to avoid can also help. 4 , but these can make you tired and want to eat even more, which can lead to eating too much. Watch out for “diet” foods, just because something says “low-fat” or “diet” doesn’t mean it’s healthy. These foods often have added sugars or artificial ingredients. It is worth checking the label. 5 . Healthy weight loss isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building a lifestyle you enjoy. Small changes, like adding more vegetables to your meals or swapping soda for water, may not seem like much, but they add up to lasting results over time. And remember that consistency over time beats perfection. A. A lifestyle, not a quick fix B. Focus on progress, not perfection C. Processed foods and sugary snacks taste great D. Healthy weight loss isn’t just about the number on the scale. E. Switching them for water, tea or black coffee can cut back significantly. F. Gradual weight loss gives your body time to adjust and helps build lasting habits. G. The best weight-loss strategies are about balance and flexibility, not detailed rules. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·重庆渝北中学·期中）In today’s digital world, constant notifications and endless scrolling have made it increasingly difficult to maintain focus. Managing screen time is not just a preference but a necessity. 1 . Here are some practical tips to help you step back from screens and reclaim your attention. 2 Instead of having your phone within arm’s reach while working or studying, leave it in another room. You can also turn off all non-essential notifications to create a quieter, less interruptive space. This simple act reduces the urge to check it constantly, allowing you to dive deeper into your tasks. Schedule Your Screen Time 3 . For instance, you could decide to check social media for twenty minutes only after completing a chapter of revision. This transforms mindless browsing into a deliberate, time-bound reward, helping you stay on track and reinforce your self-control by making you the decision-maker, not your device. Replace Screens with Real-World Activities It is crucial to replace screen time with engaging offline activities. This could be reading a physical book, going for a walk in nature or dedicating time to a hands-on hobby like painting or playing an instrument. 4 . They not only provide a break but also help your brain recharge in ways that passive screen consumption does not. Use Tech with Purposes It is not to eliminate technology, but to shift from passive consumption to active control — to be the master of your devices, not their slaves. 5 . Before unlocking your phone or opening an app, pause for a second and ask yourself: “What is the purpose for this?” Is it for a specific task or is it just a mindless habit to fill a quiet moment? By consciously deciding when and how to use your devices, you cultivate a healthier relationship with technology, thus allowing you to harness its benefits without letting it control your attention and precious time. A. This begins with cultivating awareness B. Create a Distraction-Free Environment C. Set the last hour before bed as screen-free D. It may lead to a “superficial cognitive pattern” E. Set specific times for checking emails or social media F. Digital entertainment constantly breaks your concentration G. The key is to make offline activities as appealing as your digital ones Passage 5 （25-26高二上·重庆第一中学校·期中）Body language provides a lot of information on what other people are thinking. 1 Mastering how to read it can completely change how you pick up on unspoken thoughts and vibes in interactions. So next time you’re in a meeting, watch for these key signals: Real smiles crinkle (使起皱) the eyes. When it comes to smiling, the mouth can smile but the eyes can’t. Real smiles reach the eyes, crinkling the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so next time you want to know if someone’s smile is real, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. 2 3 Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs, they do the same? Or perhaps they lean their heads the same way as yours when you’re talking? That’s actually a good sign. It means that the conversation is going well and that the other party accepts your message. Eyes that lie. Most of us believe that it’s difficult to hold someone’s gaze (凝视) when they’re lying. But that’s such common knowledge that people will often try to hold eye contact, hoping to cover up the fact that they’re lying. 4 If you’re talking with someone whose gaze is making you uncomfortable or something is up and they might be lying to you. Even if you can’t decode someone’s exact thoughts, body language offers powerful clues to their true feelings and intentions. 5 A. Copying your body language is a good thing. B. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something. C. Good signs lead to good conversations in a meeting. D. You’ll have to find out how long they have looked at you. E. That’s especially true when words and body language don’t match. F. The problem is that most of them will hold eye contact until it feels. G. Research shows 55% of communication happens through body language. Passage 1 （25-26高二上·重庆西南大学附中·期中）Bedtime rituals (仪式) At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite show but engaging in a regular bedtime ritual could actually help you sleep better. 1 And if you turn these bedtime activities into a ritual — that is, if you do them every night around the same time — you will be all the more likely to get the rest you need. What is a bedtime ritual? A bedtime ritual is a set of activities that you perform nightly in preparation for going to bed. 2 For children, 20 to 45 minutes should be enough time to wind down. Your bedtime ritual should include practices that help you relax, like having a cup of warm milk. It can also incorporate practical activities, like brushing your teeth or putting on pajamas. 3 . How to Create Your Own Bedtime Ritual? There’s no formula for the perfect bedtime ritual, so you might want to try several different activities before settling on a consistent routine. What’s important is figuring out what works for you. 4 If you enjoy exercise and movement, try yoga or gentle stretching. If you find comfort in order, create a to-do list for the next day. If classical music soothes you, turn on some Bach or Mozart while you enjoy a bath. And remember to prioritize comfort. Whether your bedtime ritual takes place in bed or somewhere else, make sure your environment is relaxing. 5 When the time comes to fall asleep, you’ll be ready. A. Avoid activities known to interfere with sleep. B. For adults, bedtime rituals typically last 30 minutes to an hour. C. Start out with two or three activities that help you feel relaxed. D. Settling down with some relaxing activities can tell your body it’s time to sleep. E. Wear comfortable pajamas, curl up under a cozy blanket, and keep the lights low. F. Sleeping behaviors develop during childhood and often become fixed patterns by adulthood. G. Whatever you choose to include in your ritual, the key is doing them consistently every night. Passage 2 （25-26高二上·重庆渝中巴蜀中学校·期中）Whether you are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast, the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal. 1 A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year. I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success? Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon. 2 That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones. 3 So, instead of aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day, you would find three new walking routes to enjoy. 4 A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t. Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to. 5 Participants who firmly believed they would still exercise even when tired, working late or going through a stressful life event were 73 per cent more likely to regularly attend the gym. Making exercise a priority is crucial. In summary, setting yourself up for successful fitness resolutions means choosing the right goal for you, making exercise fun and devising a plan to stick with it. A. Commitment was also key. B. Sports safety came the second. C. The challenge, of course, is getting it through. D. There are other things to consider when creating a fitness goal. E. What should be emphasized more is to accomplish a specific result. F. However, outcome-based goals may actually hold back fitness ambitions. G. The focus is on developing strategies involved in performing a certain task. Passage 3 （25-26高二上·重庆凤鸣山中学·期中）Embracing Imperfections — A Journey of Self-Acceptance Life is a series of ups and downs, and along the way, we often make mistakes. It's crucial to remember that no one is perfect and we all fall at times. 1 Instead, let's shift our mindset and learn to embrace our imperfections as opportunities for growth. Start by acknowledging that mistakes are an essential part of the human experience. As we all know, a butterfly emerges from its cocoon (茧). 2 Reflect on the lessons learned from each mistake and the wisdom gained along the way. Self-acceptance plays a vital role in our journey towards personal growth. Take a moment to appreciate your unique characteristics and qualities that make you who you are. 3 Celebrate these strengths and recognize that they contribute to your individuality. 4 Share your experiences with trusted friends or those who can offer advice and wisdom. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you to embrace your imperfections and pursue growth. Now, let's redirect our focus to self-care. Accept that mistakes happen, learn from them, and use that newfound knowledge to push yourself forward. Remember, the most successful people have encountered countless setbacks on their path to greatness. 5 Lastly, never underestimate the power of gratitude. Develop a gratitude practice by acknowledging the blessings in your life, no matter how small. Gratitude shifts our focus from what went wrong to what is going well, encouraging a positive mindset and promoting self-acceptance. A. We too can transform and develop through our errors. B. So treat yourself with kindness and understanding. C. We shouldn’t beat ourselves up over our errors. D. Are you trustworthy, creative, or a great problemsolver? E. Recognize that you are not the cause of all the negatives. F. It’s also helpful to seek support and guidance from others. G. Our journey involves acknowledging and embracing imperfections. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·重庆万州第二高级中学·期中）Sometimes you know that you should decline a request, but somehow end up reluctantly taking on an additional responsibility. 1 If you struggle with setting boundaries, don’t despair. Here are ways to sharpen this tool. Don’t ignore how you feel. Emotions are not just in your head. You can feel them throughout your body. When someone approaches you with a request, pay attention to your body’s response. It tells you how to respond before you even say a word. For example, as they speak, you might feel muscle tension. 2 Don’t overexplain yourself. In an effort to cope with difficult emotions such as guilt, you tend to overshare the reasons for refusal. However, the more information you share, the more likely you are to be manipulated into saying yes. Sharing information gives others the opportunity to break through your boundaries. 3 You can be kind and direct when setting boundaries. 4 When someone approaches you with a request, a common method is to buy time. By doing this, you hope that they will forget it, and that you will be off the hook. However, this method does not work. Not resolving the matter in real time allows emotional forces such as guilt to influence you. As a result, a delayed no may turn into a reluctant yes. Set boundaries often. Becoming proficient in any skill takes time, and so does setting boundaries. Initially, it may be uncomfortable. You may struggle for words or not sound convincing, but over time, it gets easier. 5 Constantly walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting people is an exhausting way to live. A. Don’t delay giving your response. B. Don’t ignore the method of delay. C. That’s your body’s signal to refuse. D. The reason is that you lack firm boundaries. E. Remember, not setting boundaries is tough too. F. When saying no, you should keep it short and sweet. G. Try to understand others’ perspectives before setting boundaries. Passage 5 （25-26高二上·重庆铁路中学校·期中）The process of sorting through my childhood stuff started out easy. At first, I was excited to toss everything out. But as the bedroom emptied out, I felt a creeping sense of sadness. My childhood was over, and I entered full-fledged (成熟的) adulthood. And I wondered: 1 In short, yes. 2 That’s because going through your old stuff can possibly stir up difficult emotions or sweet memories. Whatever emotions pop up, accept them, and it will help you process it faster. Before you start sorting, determine how much storage space you’re willing to devote to your childhood items. 3 You may have limited space for old stuff. But listen to your heart. If you’re sentimental and you want to hold on to stuff, hold on to it. You can always get rid of it later. During this process, it can be useful to have someone you trust by your side. They can help you honor the memories associated with each object and let go. 4 They know which life experiences mean the most to you. And you don’t have to pile your childhood stuff in the attic (阁楼). 5 You can take photos, which you can revisit any time on your phone or computer. Or you can turn them into an art project and display it in a shadow box. Remember, there is someone who care enough to hold on all old stuff for you. This is a value of all of the time and effort and money your parents have poured into you. This has been saved in love. A. Get creative and think outside the box. B. Could my childhood memories be regained? C. You can find meaning in your life experiences. D. Loved ones can also help you decide what to save. E. But it will probably still be a bittersweet experience. F. That will help you figure out how much stuff you can keep. G. Was there a less heartbreaking, more strategic way to do this?

If you’re interested in writing a letter to your future self, but don’t know where to start, here are some steps you can take: Decide how far into the future you want to read your letter The content of any letter depends on the reader. The content of your letter to your future self might change depending on whether you’re writing for someone three months or three years into the future. 1 . You can also write several letters to different future selves. 2 As you write the content of your letter, provide context for your future self. Consider dating the letter and including a summary of what’s happening in your life. If you’re writing your letter for self-improvement, it’s important to note where you’re starting from. Express your hopes Talk about what you hope your future self has achieved. 3 When you read the letter in the future, your words might make you feel proud because you’ve achieved what was important to you. Ask yourself questions 4 Ask whether you got closer to a new friend, or if something you were looking forward to happened. These can also add context for your future self about what was important to you when you wrote the letter. Express gratitude and kindness for yourself Finally, remember to include words of kindness and support for your future self. Your reader, whoever and wherever they are, may need to hear them.

What can you do to safely spend time in the sun? Here’s some advice. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. Drink water before you even feel thirsty. 2 And remember to drink water before you get into the sun as well as throughout the time you’re spending outside. While electrolyte beverages (电解质饮品) can be useful if you’re sweating a lot, it’s best to drink water when you’re out in the sun. Protect your skin from sunburn. Use sunscreen (防晒霜) that has an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply it every two hours, or after swimming or sweating when you’re outside. Also, wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and hats. 3 This is when the sun’s rays are strongest and can cause the most skin damage. Don’t lie in the sun just to darken your skin, which speeds up the aging of your skin and increases your risk for all types of skin cancer. 4 Wear lightweight and loose clothing, drink a cold beverage, go for a swim in the pool, use a fan and seek shade. This can greatly assist in lowering your body temperature, allowing you to expend less energy on regulating your body heat. Watch for signs that you need to see a doctor. The best way to tell if you’re just tired or experiencing more serious signs of heat-related issues is to see how you feel once you’re out of the heat. 5 If you’re still feeling ill within 15 minutes, you should seek medical care. A. Cool your body off. B. These all require extra energy from your body. C. Avoid being in the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. D. Get into a cool environment and drink lots of liquids. E. When you do feel thirsty, drink more than you think you should. F. None of this is meant to suggest that you stay indoors away from the sun’s rays. G. However, after hours in the sun, even when relaxing, you might feel extra sleepy. Passage 8 （25-26高二上·重庆实验外国语学校·期中）Preparing for Your Journey to Space: A Practical Guide With companies like SpaceX making space travel increasingly accessible, the dream of adventuring beyond Earth is closer than ever. However, becoming a space traveler requires more than just a ticket — it demands careful preparation in several key areas. Engage in Physical Training 1 . You will experience powerful gravity during launch and re-entry, and live in microgravity while in orbit. Therefore, prospective travelers must undergo a specialized fitness training to ensure their bodies can stand the physical demands of the voyage. This preparation is crucial for space sickness. Cultivate Mental Strength While physical health is vital, psychological preparedness is equally important. A space mission involves staying in a small spacecraft, isolation, and the need to remain calm under pressure. 2 . Thus, developing a determined and adaptable mindset is essential for dealing with the mental frontier of space travel. Master the Procedures and Systems Before your launch, you will receive comprehensive training on the spacecraft’s systems and flight procedures. 3 Knowing what to expect during each phase, from liftoff to orbit and re-entry, will ease anxiety and allow you to engage more fully with the journey. 4 Life in space requires relearning everyday activities in a weightless environment. 5 . You will use soapy towels to clean yourself, as water does not flow but floats. Practicing with similar items on Earth can help you adapt more quickly once you slip Earth’s gravity, making your daily routine in space more efficient. A. Adapt to Daily Life in Microgravity B. Improve Efficiency in Daily Routine C. These challenges test astronauts’ psychology vastly D. Space presents extreme challenges to the human body E. Space travel brings psychological and emotional challenges F. Eating, sleeping, and personal hygiene are conducted differently G. This includes learning the vehicle’s operations during emergency Passage 9 （25-26高二上·重庆南开中学校·期中）Aging Isn’t Just About Decline We spend billions fighting aging and yet scientists argue this focus on decline misses the bigger picture. “Aging isn’t worsening: it’s living,” says Professor Michelle Feng. A key factor for that is stress management: Studies show older adults exhibit calmer responses under pressure. 1 . Emotional intelligence deepens with time. While youth often hold back emotions, older adults excel in looking at challenges differently. 2 . So elders are always honored as our life instructors. “When your time is more limited, you may focus on meaningful things that can benefit you now instead of in the future,” says Feng. 3 Long-term partnerships frequently reach peak satisfaction in their 60s and 70s. Women, in particular, report heightened emotional fulfillment despite physical changes. This agrees with broader happiness trends and studies now suggest the longer you are with your life partner, the closer you will be. Critically, mindset shapes outcomes. 4 .A landmark study found that people embracing positive aging lived 7.5 years longer than those resigned to decline. “How we age isn’t predetermined,” Feng emphasizes. “We really have so much more control over how we age than we think we do, and that can empower you to make decisions that are good for you.” From stress management to daily joy, the data underlines aging as an ongoing process of growth—not just loss. 5 . A. Closeness often improves with age B. Elders are confronted with more challenges C. This kind of wisdom improves emotional intelligence D. In turn, these positive reactions lead to better mental health E. It’s a common belief that older adults are less capable of handling moods F. Therefore, if our attitude makes a positive change, we can lead a better later life G. What we think about aging has a huge impact on how we actually experience it Passage 1 （25-26高二上·重庆第八中学校·期中）Being one of the most varied foods, eggs are a great addition to any diet. Not only are they easier to add to just about any meal, but they are also incredibly nutritious and support overall health. 1 You may experience better brain function. Eggs provide choline (胆碱) — a key substance that enhances communication between brain cells, ensuring messages are delivered efficiently like a well-organized delivery system. Thus, eating eggs regularly can strengthen your memory. 2 What’s more, the nutrients in eggs act like brain fuel, keeping you focused during classes or while doing homework. You may have healthier eyes. Eating eggs helps protect your eyes with natural substances that act as natural sunglasses, blocking harmful light like screen blue light. Egg yolks contain more eye guarding nutrients than carrots, reducing eye fatigue (疲劳) during study sessions. 3 You can have stronger muscles and bones. Eggs provide quality protein for muscle repair after exercise, while their vitamin D works with other nutrients like calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones. 4 Regular consumption supports muscle growth during daily activities and keeps bones strong. 5 It may seem like other foods are much better at making you feel full, but eggs are actually an excellent selection to help you keep it that way. They are the ideal mix of protein and fat and can be extremely satisfying and filling. By consuming more eggs, you are able to significantly decrease short term food and snacks. A. Eggs are a good source when you’re busy B. You can have a full stomach for longer time. C. You can get more protein after having an egg. D. So regular egg consumption helps maintain clear vision. E. This makes it easier to remember school lessons or daily tasks F. When you eat eggs regularly, this is what happens to your body. G. They can help to maintain bone structure and prevent weakness.

Consider house sitting If you’re a pet owner, what do you do with your beloved pet? 3 , many pet owners offer their house to travelers in exchange for pet sitting. “In return for feeding the cat, walking the dog, and doing whatever else the homeowner needs, you get to stay in the person’s house for free. "Cave says. Try checking out TrustHousesitters.com to list your own proper（财产) or book a stay abroad. 4 World traveler Brian Corsetti says an often overlooked way to save money is to strike up a conversation with a local. Not only is it great to be friendly, but people who live in popular destinations know the best ways to find sales or inexpensive eats, which can help you avoid falling into tourist traps. 5 Instead of going to a restaurant, you stop by the home of a local, who will prepare traditional food for much less, giving you a glimpse（一瞥）into how locals really live and eat. A. Get to know the locals B. Find the best way to travel C. Instead of paying for expensive boarding fees D. Together, it all adds up to big vacation savings E. Because of so many super-inexpensive airlines F. You could expect to save around 10 a night on a $100 nightly booking G.

Did you shout or want to hit someone? 1 You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when you don’t understand your homework or when your team loses an important game. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. That made you mad! There are different ways people feel anger. 2 Are you breathing (呼吸) faster? Is your face bright red? Do you want to break something or hit someone? Anger can make you shout at those around you, even people you like or love. Some people keep their anger buried deep inside.

Passage 4 （25-26高二上·重庆两江育才中学校·期中）Money, a common topic in daily life, often raises a question: what is its real value? Some people believe money is just a tool for buying material things, but this view is far from comprehensive. 1 Consider the stories of great minds in history. Madame Curie, for example, turned down a large sum of money that came with her Nobel Prize. Instead of using it for personal comfort, she invested all her funds in further scientific research. 2 This is because the discoveries she made later helped save millions of lives, a value no amount of immediate pleasure could match. 3 Think about a community park. Many people may wonder why the local government spends money building and maintaining it instead of using the funds elsewhere. But the park is more than just green space. It provides a place for children to play, for the elderly to exercise, and for neighbors to communicate. 4 In the long run, this kind of investment in public well-being brings far more value than short-term material gains. However, it’s important to remember that the way we use money reflects our values. Some people chase after luxury goods, believing that owning them shows success. 5 Whether it’s a scientist devoting funds to research or an ordinary person donating to a community project, the key is to let money serve a purpose beyond immediate satisfaction. In this way, money truly realizes its greatest value. A. Similar logic applies to our daily lives, even in small matters. B. They think that the more expensive things they have, the more respected they will be. C. On the contrary, money should be saved for emergencies rather than spent on public projects. D. Her choice showed that money, when used for meaningful goals, can become a bridge to human progress. E. Its true worth lies not in what it can buy immediately, but in how it can create possibilities for the future. F. Every dollar spent on it strengthens the connection between people and improves the quality of community life. G. Others, though, choose to spend money on things that have lasting impacts, like education, charity, or personal growth. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
