专题05 阅读理解（七选五） Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东山东省青岛第五十八中学·期中）“Different strokes for different folks” applies as much to dining as to anything else. Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used. 1 Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns. The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become. 2 Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”. However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made. 3 How, then, should pre-made dishes be regulated? The answer depends on whether we treat them as a product or a process. If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish. 4 Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch? Or were they prepared industrially? This distinction isn’t about safety alone, but reflects values like sustainability, tradition, taste, and price sensitivity. Nevertheless, both approaches must follow a common principle: labels must not be misleading. But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules. 5 Done right, regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust, industrial innovation and cultural confidence all grow together. A. These details should be disclosed to consumers. B. It affects price, freshness, and even its cultural meaning. C. China’s rising pre- made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization. D. Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness. E. It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food. F. But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation. G. If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东实验中学·期中）When we fall behind others or perform less well in areas we care about, a feeling of envy arises. Envy has always been a part of human experience. 1 The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy, however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage. Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age. 2 Different people envy different things. I don’t care about others’ fancy boats, but envy men my age with full hair. Scholars note patterns: young people envy education, looks or romance; older people envy money. 3 Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second. Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy. 4 Experiments prove passive social media use lowers well-being via more envy. It is impossible to end envy. 5 Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune. A. However, gratitude helps. B. Academics call this “Facebook envy”. C. And it doesn’t bring economic success. D. Envy often causes fights between people. E. Women are more likely to show envy than men. F. Men and women tend to envy different qualities. G. Scholars categorize envy into benign and malicious envy. Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东师范大学附属中学·期中）Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students. Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments. 1 It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management. 2 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 3 If anxiety is the main reason, practicing relaxation techniques before starting work may be helpful. For those troubled by perfectionism, setting “good enough” standards and focusing on progress rather than perfection can encourage earlier engagement. Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints. 4 5 For instance, breaking a large project into small steps and setting deadlines for each part can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Creating a tidy workspace and turning off social media notifications also minimize distractions. Overcoming procrastination is a gradual process that requires patience and consistent practice of these strategies. By starting small and celebrating each step of progress, students can gradually build motivation, replace old habits with more productive ones, and ultimately regain a sense of control and accomplishment in their academic and personal lives. A. This habit may arise from multiple psychological factors. B. Different causes of procrastination require specific responses. C. Learning to prioritize tasks is a key step towards self- discipline. D. Some other simple methods can make it easier for putters- off as well. E. Immediate action is crucial since such situations tend to worsen gradually. F. Therefore, it is vital to seek professional help once procrastination is identified. G. Family members may also encourage students by sharing their own experiences. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·山东枣庄滕州市·期中）I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. 1 My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example. After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. 2 It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time. 3 I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed. Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. 4 However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations. On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. 5 Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along. A. It helps widen perspectives. B. This method has its limitations. C. That was when I took up speed reading. D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles. E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books. F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading. G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts. Passage 5 （25-26高三上·山东滨州惠民县·期中）Diaries are usually very helpful in managing what happens to us on a daily basis. 1 I spent a long time investigating how to create a mood journal. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find anything. There was a lot of theory, but I didn’t know where to start. 2 The experience was so positive that today I am going to share it with you. To create a mood journal, the first step is to get a notebook dedicated for this purpose alone. 3 When they are all in one place, you can return to your mood journal whenever you need to and analyze them from a different perspective. Once you have a notebook, it’s time to begin. When you’re writing, you should be calm, alone, and not in a hurry. You can write every day if you need to. 4 The important thing to remember is that your mood journal isn’t just for negative emotions like anger, frustration, and anxiety. It is also for positive emotions like happiness and joy. This will help you get to know yourself on a deeper level. Writing in your mood journal consistently will help you understand yourself better. You will be able to identify the problem areas in your life and notice which emotion comes up the most. Is it fear, or maybe insecurity? 5 So you can put them into practice and not just leave them on the page. A. Or just write when you feel the need. B. It will be easier to connect to your emotions. C. Are you a person with a lot of negative emotions? D. Being aware of it will help you come up with suggestions. E. That way you don’t have your notes all scattered (分散的) around. F. So, I decided to grab my own notebook and manage my emotions my way. G. Emotional diaries have the particularity of helping us restructure our thinking. Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东济南长清区·期中）I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. 1 What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? 2 I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. 3 We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay. Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. 4 College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out. 5 That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people. A. They’re part of your story. B. But it was also filled with uncertainty. C. I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything. D. They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor. E. That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you. F. You may smile at memories with people no longer close with. G. Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）AI tools regularly make mistakes and make up sources. By some estimates, over half of AI-driven answers have factual errors. Children’s exposure to misleading information online isn’t new. 1 Even children who are online only for short periods likely see false or inaccurate information. Here’s how to help them spot it. 2 Any parent knows the feeling of being caught in a never-ending loop (循环) of whys from their kid. 3 Provide informative answers, but build their thought processes, too. “Great question, what do you think? What makes you think that? How would we find out what’s right?” You’ll develop their critical thinking by emphasizing the process of reasoning, not just the outcome. Encourage skepticism (怀疑). Children’s skepticism is context-specific. My colleagues and I have demonstrated, for example, that even four-year-olds show basic fact-checking abilities in digital contexts under the right circumstances. When they notice that a platform contained some misinformation in the past, they seek out more evidence before accepting a new claim. 4 For example, if you come across a doubtful AI summary, comment on it out loud. Practice strategic disengagement (脱离). Critical thinking is slow and deliberate. Scrolling through a social media feed is quite the opposite. Even when a questionable post arouses skepticism, that feeling might fade as soon as a newer piece of content appears. 5 Taking frequent breaks can stop the habit of endless, passive consumption. Another simple strategy is to teach children that if something arouses strong emotions, they should pause. A. Use children’s natural curiosity. B. But now AI has worsened the problem. C. When that desire to learn strikes, join in. D. Evaluate the quality of children’s questions. E. Show your child you also doubt things online. F. Ultimately, kids’ presence in the digital landscape is a reality. G. Parents can help children learn when to slow down and reflect. Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东日照·期中）It is your first day at the new school. Maybe your mind goes blank, and your stomach feels full of butterflies. You keep checking the clock and your throat suddenly goes dry. 1 They’re not signs of weakness, but your body’s way of preparing you for a new environment and social challenges. In unfamiliar situations, our body goes through several changes to help us adapt. Increased alertness and sensitivity allow us to process new information faster. 2 By becoming more observant, we notice important details around us. Our body releases special chemicals to improve concentration and memory. These reactions are part of what’s called the alertness response, the body’s way of dealing with new or unknown environments. They’re automatically activated by our nervous system, which helps us face uncertainty. This system sharpens our senses, enhances learning readiness, and helps us make quick decisions. 3 This natural adaptation system helped our ancestors recognize new territories and potential opportunities. Nowadays, we encounter very different situations from those our ancestors faced. 4 It activates when we meet new people, join a new club, or try a different learning method, helping us adjust to changes in our lives. 5 When the new situation becomes familiar, our brain typically signals our body to relax through another part of our nervous system. Our breathing deepens and slows down, muscle tension decreases, and comfortable feelings gradually return. Then we feel more at ease and confident. This shift back to a "calming mode" is just as crucial as the initial alertness, allowing for recovery and long-term adaptation. The "alert mode" and the "calming mode" work together to help us navigate through various life experiences smoothly. A. Therefore, it plays a vital role in our life. B. Moreover, all of these feelings are quite natural. C. However, this "alert mode" doesn’t stay on forever. D. Our senses become sharper to take in more information. E. Each change serves an important purpose for adaptation. F. Yet this alertness system remains active and essential in our daily lives. G. These physical signals might make you nervous, but they’re temporary. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）Life is full of challenges. Sometimes, things don’t go the way you want, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed (不知所措的). 1 Challenges can make you stronger, wiser and more prepared for future difficulties. Then how to stay positive during difficult times? Change your opinion. One of the most powerful ways to stay positive during difficult times is by changing how you view your problems. It’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. 2 When you see your problems differently, they become stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Instead of thinking, “This is unfair”, try asking, “How can I turn this into a learning experience?” 3 In difficult times, your minds often get stuck on everything that’s going wrong. Gratitude helps you focus on what’s still right. It can be as simple as appreciating a cup of coffee in the morning or a smile from a friend. Practicing gratitude turns your attention away from problems and reminds you of the good things in life, however small they may seem. Surround yourself with positivity. 4 If you surround yourself with people who lift you up and believe in you, it becomes easier to stay hopeful. But if your social circle is full of negativity, it can pull you back. Take care of your physical health. Staying positive isn’t just about the mind; it’s also about taking care of your body. Physical health directly affects how you feel emotionally. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽) that improve your emotion. 5 A. Be grateful. B. Focus on what you can control. C. Every challenge has something positive hidden inside it. D. But did you know that these tough moments can help you grow? E. Your environment matters a lot when it comes to staying positive. F. Even a short daily walk can make a huge difference in how you feel. G. What if you turn your attention to the lessons hidden in those struggles? Passage 5 （25-26高三上·山东青岛·期中）Artificial Intelligence in Modern Life The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into daily life is transforming how we work and live. The first AI program was developed in the 1950s by computer scientists. 1 This technology now impacts various areas from healthcare to transportation. In medicine, AI algorithms (算法) analyze medical images faster than human doctors, processing thousands of scans in minutes to identify rare diseases. 2 For example, some systems detect early signs of diseases like cancer with over 90% accuracy, significantly improving patient survival rates. However, these tools are designed to assist rather than replace medical professionals, as human judgment remains critical in complex cases. 3 Self-driving cars use sensors and AI to navigate roads safely, interpreting traffic signals, avoiding obstacles, and adapting to changing weather conditions. Major automakers have invested billions in this technology, though fully autonomous vehicles still face regulatory challenges related to liability and safety standards. The change to widespread use needs technical improvements and gradual public acceptance. Education has also benefited from AI applications, particularly in personalized learning. AI-powered tutors offer 24/7 academic support globally, answering student questions, explaining difficult concepts, and assigning practice exercises. These platforms adjust difficulty levels based on student performance. 4 Despite its advantages, AI development presents societal challenges. Ethical (道德的) concerns regarding data privacy have arisen, as AI systems often rely on vast amounts of personal information. Additionally, unemployment due to automation has sparked debates about workforce retraining and economic inequality. 5 As AI continues to mature, finding the balance between technological advancement and human values remains crucial to ensuring its benefits are shared equitably. A. Transportation represents another groundbreaking application. B. Experts predict all jobs will be automated within the next decade. C. Many factories now use robots for dangerous manufacturing tasks. D. Their check-ups help doctors make more informed treatment decisions. E. It enables machines to perform human-like tasks such as learning and reasoning. F. This provides individualized learning experiences unavailable in traditional classrooms. G. These issues need ongoing discussion among policymakers, technologists, and the public. Passage 6 （25-26高三上·山东潍坊·期中）In a world that often feels chaotic, our homes should be a place where we can relax, recharge, and truly be ourselves. But how do we transform our living spaces from mere shelters into havens (港湾) of comfort? The answer lies in the power of micro-habits. 1 Yet when integrated into daily life, they have the potential to create lasting changes in your environment and well-being. Making your bed is one of those micro-habits. It only takes a moment, but it gives you a sense of control and calms before your day even begins. When you walk into your bedroom later, it already looks more put-together. 2 Want to make it even better? Mist your pillows or sheets with a scent you love. Suddenly, your room feels like a luxury hotel. Here is a life-saving rule: If it takes less than a minute, just do it now. This applies to so many things — putting your shoes away, cleaning the kitchen counter, folding that blanket on the couch. The beauty of this habit is that it stops small messes from snowballing into overwhelming projects. 3 Your brain isn’t gradually stressed out by the chaos around you. 4 Just carve out one little corner that feels like you. Maybe it’s a reading corner, your favorite chair with a blanket, or a shelf with your plants or books. The point is to have a space that makes you feel at ease the second you see it. Creating a warm, calming home doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Every little habit matters when it comes to crafting your personal oasis (绿洲). 5 You’ll be surprised how much better your home feels when you give it a little intention and love. A. Pair it with your favorite music. B. That little win makes a difference. C. Everything can be dealt with in this way. D. A consistently tidy space creates mental clarity. E. You don’t need your entire home to be picture-perfect. F. Try starting with one or two habits, and build from there. G. These small yet impactful changes seem insignificant on their own. Passage 7 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）Motivation is the force that drives you to take action toward your goals. 1 There are many strategies to strengthen motivation. Let’s explore a few effective ones that can make a significant impact. One effective strategy is setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Related and Time-limited) goals, which helps clarify goals, making them more achievable. For example, instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” you might set a SMART goal like, “I will run three times a week for 30 minutes for the next month.” 2 Carrying out reward systems can significantly improve motivation. 3 Moreover, having an accountability partner encourages commitment and provides extra support. Sharing your goals with someone else can create a social commitment that keeps you motivated. 4 Break time allows your mind to recharge, preventing burnout. Including short breaks in your schedule can lead to increased productivity and motivation. Remember, a well-rested mind is a motivated mind! Getting feedback (反馈) from those around you can provide valuable perspectives (视角) on your motivation levels. 5 Additionally, discussing your challenges can help you feel supported and understood, further increasing your motivation to keep going. A. Rest is as important as hard work. B. They can offer suggestions that you haven’t considered. C. The surrounding environment greatly influences your motivation. D. It helps you overcome difficulties and ultimately achieve your goals. E. It provides clarity and structure, increasing your motivation to take action. F. Treating yourself for reaching each small goal can create a sense of achievement. G. Strategies for improving motivation are important tools for personal development. Passage 8 （25-26高三上·山东济南第一中学·期中）When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed. 1 For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications. Silence gets people’s attention If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. 2 The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent, people will notice it and we gain their attention. Silence uses body language Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth. 3 The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships. Silence offers sympathy for others There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them. 4 Silence is polite 5 They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter. A. We can offer comfort by our calming silence. B. The silence often leaves the other person puzzled. C. To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation. D. Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence. E. Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest. F. We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information. G. All of a sudden, you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped. Passage 9 （25-26高三上·山东德州·期中）The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature. Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy. 1 Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood. Why does this happen? The main reason is that we keep raising our expectations for well-being. 2 Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment. It’s like staring at a tiny spot on an otherwise clean shirt, letting that small flaw prevent us from seeing how nice the shirt really is. Take a common example: your birthday party. Your friends planned a great celebration with all your favorite things. 3 Nevertheless, this is where our mind may make all the difference. You could simply embrace the happiness of the moment, dancing freely. Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking“ 4 ”This self-critical idea breeds disappointment, leading to profound dissatisfaction. The truth is that true happiness rarely comes without any mixed feelings. Even the best moments carry imperfections. Does this mean we should abandon the pursuit of emotional fulfillment? Certainly not. Something might work for you. 5 They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment. Most importantly, stop viewing life merely as preparation for future happiness. Real well-being comes not from chasing perfection, but from fully engaging with each moment as it comes. A. It is hard to change emotional issues. B. Yet reality often tells quite a different story. C. If all my friends can be here, I can’t be happier. D. Embrace emotions in all forms, challenging or uplifting. E. You might start to carefully evaluate if it meets your expectations. F. Instead, we should learn to appreciate the beauty of imperfections. G. This common behavior mainly originates from constant overthinking. Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东泰安·期中）A Community Garden Brings People Together Tired of the dull gray of the city, some residents in our community decided to take action. They transformed an empty lot into a vibrant garden. 1 It is a place where people connect with nature and each other. The garden is divided into small plots. Families and individuals can apply to grow their own vegetables and flowers. 2 “I never thought I’d enjoy getting my hands dirty so much,” said Mr. Davis, a retired teacher. “Seeing the seeds I planted grow into healthy plants gives me a great sense of achievement.” 3 Every Sunday morning, you can see neighbors watering plants, pulling weeds, and sharing gardening tips. Children especially love to help, learning where their food comes from. The garden has become an outdoor classroom for them. The benefits go beyond fresh produce. 4 People who used to be strangers now stop to chat. The garden hosts parties, like a harvest festival in the autumn, which strengthens the community bond. “This garden is more than just a piece of land,” said Mrs. Chen, one of the founders. “It’s a symbol of hope and cooperation.” 5 Indeed, the project shows how a small idea can grow into something that truly enriches everyone’s life. A. For many, it’s the first time they have experienced the joy of gardening. B. However, maintaining the public areas is a shared responsibility. C. But this garden is much more than just a source of food and beauty. D. It has also become a powerful tool for building friendships. E. The project has encouraged a spirit of teamwork among residents. F. Some even volunteer to take care of the common areas. G. We hope it will inspire other communities to start their own projects. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东临沂·期中）According to a landmark study published today in the journal Science, total butterfly abundance in the U. S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. 1 People should be seeing this number and being very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general. Across 35 monitoring programs, scientists and volunteers have identified 12.6 million butterflies from 554 species at 2,478 unique locations. Initially, researchers expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was scaled up to cover the entire nation, they also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. 2 “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” one of the researchers said. This is a wake-up call. 3 It is found that more than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year timespan and that 22 species have declined more than 90 percent. 4 Butterflies are not the only insects in danger, and their declines connect to bigger concerns. It could be broadly indicative of the overall biodiversity crisis. It is estimated that three billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. While scientists say the butterfly losses can be attributed to many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, there are some things individuals can do to help butterflies. 5 Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat-can have a huge impact on the increase in population. That’s one of the most optimistic things. Butterflies do have the ability to bounce back, if people put the effort into conservation actions. A. Unfortunately, that was not the case. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Such findings are just the tip of the iceberg. D. The situation reflects a wider ecological disaster. E. The reality may be worse than the numbers suggest. F. That means about one in five butterflies have vanished. G. Creating insect-friendly environments can yield rapid benefits. Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东聊城·期中）It was a new home. It cost $154,000. Sarah Jennings of Bay Shore, New York was ready to buy it, but her real estate agent suggested getting a home inspection. 1 Jennings said, “I was just depressed. It was less than perfect.” Since the problems were minor and would cost little to fix, Jennings decided to buy the house anyway. Many people are now adding the important step of home inspection into the process of buying a home. A home inspector does not check to see if the price is reasonable. 2 Do the electricity and water work well? Is the roof in good condition? What repairs may be necessary? A typical home inspection can cost anywhere from 500, with the national average sitting right around $336. 3 However, a thorough home inspection can save you from an unwise purchase and possibly costly repairs in the future. Put another way, the home inspection fee is an investment in peace of mind. 4 This is an important step in the home buying process and secures the value of your investment. While there are no set standards when it comes to the length of time it takes to inspect a home, the process usually takes about two to three hours. For homes with additional features, this process will take longer, while for small homes an inspection may only take an hour or two. The American dream of owning a home is possible. Still, many have yet to find a place to call their own. In Bay Shore, there were more than 2,000 people interested in buying 52 houses in the new housing project. 5 Luckily, Jennings is not one of them. A. This may seem like an unnecessary expense. B. Among those, at least 1,948 families are still looking. C. A home inspection isn’t something you want to rush through. D. After the inspection, Jennings no longer wanted to buy the house. E. Instead, a certified one checks on all functional aspects of the house. F. Hours later, the home inspector gave Jennings a list of over 20 problems. G. The monthly housing expenses should be no more than 29% of a family’s income. Passage 4 （25-26高三上·山东烟台·期中）Forget your keys again? Can’t memorize what the exam will cover? Memory troubles are no big deal. You can fix them with simple strategies. 1 Strategy 1: Make meaningful connections When you’re remembering new information, even random, unconnected facts, the brain links details to stored information. So, the easiest way is to make it meaningful by connecting to what you know and making sense within context. 2 For example, people find it easier to remember new vocabulary if they translate concepts into their own words. Strategy 2: Space out your study sessions When you’re cramming for a test, spacing out sessions where you’re reviewing foreign language vocabulary or memorizing flashcards can help your brain store memories more efficiently. 3 Spaced repetition works because new information initially goes to short-term memory and consolidating it into long-term memory takes time and happens during rest. Strategy 3: Engage your senses When you want to remember a moment, engaging your senses during learning contributes to forming vivid recollections of an experience. 4 To find them, you must use your memory to compete with all the other times you’ve put them down. Next time you set your keys aside, focus on the unique aspects of this particular moment, like the sights or smells. These sensory experiences will create a distinct memory to aid later recall. Strategy 4: Journey through the memory palace The memory palace is an ancient technique that, studies show, can enhance recall. It is effective especially in remembering grocery lists. 5 As you walk through it, create an association between the items to be bought and specific spots.

Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used. 1 Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns. The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become. 2 Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”. However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made. 3 How, then, should pre-made dishes be regulated? The answer depends on whether we treat them as a product or a process. If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish. 4 Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch? Or were they prepared industrially? This distinction isn’t about safety alone, but reflects values like sustainability, tradition, taste, and price sensitivity. Nevertheless, both approaches must follow a common principle: labels must not be misleading. But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules. 5 Done right, regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust, industrial innovation and cultural confidence all grow together. A. These details should be disclosed to consumers. B. It affects price, freshness, and even its cultural meaning. C. China’s rising pre- made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization. D. Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness. E. It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food. F. But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation. G. If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. F 4. G 5. E 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了预制菜在餐饮业中的争议，强调了消费者对信息透明度的需求，并探讨了如何通过监管和沟通来平衡公众认知与专业定义。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Food preferences are not just about flavors. They are also about where the ingredients come from, how they are processed, and what cooking methods are used.(食物偏好不仅仅是关于口味。它们还涉及食材的来源、加工方式以及所使用的烹饪方法。)”及下文“Left unchecked, incomplete or misleading information could spark disputes, damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.(如果不加以控制，不完整或误导性的信息可能会引发争议，破坏信任，甚至引发食品安全问题。)”可知，本空应承接上文提到的“食材来源、加工方式等细节”，并引出“信息公开”的重要性。A 选项“These details should be disclosed to consumers.(这些细节应该向消费者公开。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 (2)题解析： 由上文“The controversy over “pre-made” dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become.(中国关于“预制菜”的争议表明，这个问题已经变得多么具有分歧性。)”及下文“Yet whichever side people are on, one thing is clear: they prefer to be kept “well-informed”.(然而，无论人们站在哪一边，有一点是清楚的：他们更喜欢被“充分告知”。)”可知，本空应提及预制菜争议中不同人的不同观点，D选项“Some diners welcome convenience, while others prioritize freshness.(一些食客欢迎方便，而另一些人则优先考虑新鲜度。)”符合题意，体现了不同人对预制菜的不同态度。故选D。 (3)题解析： 由上文“However, there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant operators offer. In practice, restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made.(然而，消费者所追求的和餐馆经营者所提供的之间存在着巨大的认知差距。实际上，餐馆经营者往往不认为他们的菜品是预制菜。)”可知，本空应提及消费者对预制菜的看法，与餐馆经营者的看法形成对比，F选项“But consumers often do, because they focus on sourcing and preparation.(但消费者经常这样认为，因为他们关注食材来源和准备过程。)”符合题意，强调了消费者对预制菜的关注点。故选F。 (4)题解析： 由上文“If they are treated as products, legislators (立法委员) could adopt a “menu- style” approach while drafting regulations, and setting specific rules for each type of pre- made dish.(如果它们被视为产品，立法者在起草法规时可以采用“菜单式”方法，并为每种类型的预制菜制定具体规则。)”及下文“Specifically, they might ask: Were the dishes made from scratch? Or were they prepared industrially?(具体来说，他们可能会问：这些菜是从头开始做的吗？还是工业化生产的？)”可知，本空应提及如果关注制作过程，消费者会如何提问，G选项“If the focus is on the process, consumers would ask how their dishes were made.(如果关注的是过程，消费者会问他们的菜是怎么做的。)”符合题意，与下文形成问答关系。故选G。 (5)题解析： 由上文“But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than just rules.(但是，要弥合公众认知和专业定义之间的差距，仅仅依靠规则是不够的。)”可知，本空应提及除了规则之外还需要什么来弥合差距，E选项“It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre- made food.(这需要就什么是预制菜进行持续的沟通。)”能承接上文，符合题意，强调了沟通的重要性。故选E。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东实验中学·期中）When we fall behind others or perform less well in areas we care about, a feeling of envy arises. Envy has always been a part of human experience. 1 The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy, however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage. Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age. 2 Different people envy different things. I don’t care about others’ fancy boats, but envy men my age with full hair. Scholars note patterns: young people envy education, looks or romance; older people envy money. 3 Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second. Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy. 4 Experiments prove passive social media use lowers well-being via more envy. It is impossible to end envy. 5 Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune. A. However, gratitude helps. B. Academics call this “Facebook envy”. C. And it doesn’t bring economic success. D. Envy often causes fights between people. E. Women are more likely to show envy than men. F. Men and women tend to envy different qualities. G. Scholars categorize envy into benign and malicious envy. 【答案】1. G 2. C 3. F 4. B 5. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍嫉妒分良性与恶意，恶意嫉妒危害身心，不同人群、社交媒体会影响嫉妒，消除嫉妒不可能，感恩可应对。 (1)题解析： 根据后文“The former brings misery but drives self-improvement and emulation (效仿). Malicious envy, however, leads to harm, like hostile thoughts. Benign envy comes when you think others deserve admiration; malicious envy when you don’t. That’s why you might envy a war hero but not wish him ill, yet enjoy a Hollywood actor’s failed marriage.(前者会带来痛苦，但能促使自我提升和效仿。然而，恶意的嫉妒会带来伤害，就像充满敌意的想法一样。而善意的嫉妒则是在你认为他人值得赞赏时产生；而恶意的嫉妒则是在你认为他人不值得赞赏时产生。这就是为什么你可能会羡慕一位战功卓著的英雄，但不会希望他遭遇不幸，却会欣赏一位好莱坞演员的失败婚姻)”可知，空后明确提到“前者（The former）”和“恶意嫉妒（Malicious envy）”，说明此处需要先对嫉妒进行分类。选项G“学者将嫉妒分为良性嫉妒和恶意嫉妒”，刚好对应后文的两类嫉妒，起到引出下文的作用。故选G。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“Envy — especially malicious — is harmful. Neuroscientists find it activates the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, linked to physical and mental pain. A 2018 Social Science & Medicine study of 18,000 people found envy predicts worse future mental health. It even stops the natural trend of better mental health with age.(嫉妒——尤其是恶意的嫉妒——是有害的。神经科学家发现，嫉妒会激活大脑的前扣带皮层，该区域与身体和精神上的疼痛有关。2018年一项针对18000人的社会科学与医学研究发现，嫉妒预示着未来更糟糕的心理健康状况。它甚至会打破随着年龄增长而自然出现的更好的心理健康趋势)”可知，本段核心讲嫉妒（尤其恶意嫉妒）的危害，前文提到损害心理健康、阻碍心理健康随年龄改善，选项C“而且它也不会带来经济成功”，承接前文的“危害”，补充了嫉妒的另一负面影响，逻辑连贯。故选C。 (3)题解析： 根据后文“Studies show men envy social status most, women physical attractiveness. Both envy others’ romantic success second.(研究表明，男性最嫉妒的是社会地位，而女性则最嫉妒的是外在的美貌。两者都嫉妒他人在感情方面的成功)”可知，空后明确对比了男性和女性嫉妒的侧重点（男性最嫉妒社会地位，女性最嫉妒外貌），选项F“男性和女性往往嫉妒不同的特质”，作为段落过渡句，刚好引出后文的性别差异分析。故选F。 (4)题解析： 根据上文“Envy needs exposure to “luckier” people. Social media worsens this — strangers show only admirable and enviable lives. Social media plays an important role in fueling envy.(嫉妒需要与“更幸运的人”接触。而社交媒体则加剧了这一现象——陌生人所展示的都是令人钦佩和羡慕的生活状态。社交媒体在助长嫉妒情绪方面起到了重要作用)”可知，前文提到社交媒体加剧嫉妒，选项B“学者称之为‘脸书嫉妒’”，用具体术语指代前文 “社交媒体引发的嫉妒”，且“Facebook”是社交媒体的典型代表，符合语境。故选B。 (5)题解析： 根据上文“It is impossible to end envy.(无法消除嫉妒心理)”以及后文“Next time envy hits, think of loved ones or your own good fortune.(下次再有嫉妒情绪时，就想想所爱的人或者自己所拥有的美好事物吧)”可知，前文说“消除嫉妒是不可能的”，空后给出了应对嫉妒的方法（想到爱人或自己的好运），由此可知，空处表示的是嫉妒的危害；结合选项可知，选项D.Envy often causes fights between people.(嫉妒往往引发人与人之间的争斗。)承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东师范大学附属中学·期中）Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students. Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments. 1 It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management. 2 Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions. 3 If anxiety is the main reason, practicing relaxation techniques before starting work may be helpful. For those troubled by perfectionism, setting “good enough” standards and focusing on progress rather than perfection can encourage earlier engagement. Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints. 4 5 For instance, breaking a large project into small steps and setting deadlines for each part can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Creating a tidy workspace and turning off social media notifications also minimize distractions. Overcoming procrastination is a gradual process that requires patience and consistent practice of these strategies. By starting small and celebrating each step of progress, students can gradually build motivation, replace old habits with more productive ones, and ultimately regain a sense of control and accomplishment in their academic and personal lives. A. This habit may arise from multiple psychological factors. B. Different causes of procrastination require specific responses. C. Learning to prioritize tasks is a key step towards self- discipline. D. Some other simple methods can make it easier for putters- off as well. E. Immediate action is crucial since such situations tend to worsen gradually. F. Therefore, it is vital to seek professional help once procrastination is identified. G. Family members may also encourage students by sharing their own experiences. 【答案】1. A 2. E 3. B 4. G 5. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学生拖延症的成因、影响及克服策略，强调通过理解原因、制定计划、减少干扰等方法逐步改善拖延习惯。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Procrastination, the habit of delaying tasks despite negative consequences, is a common issue among students. Typical behaviors include repeatedly checking messages, organizing unimportant items, or waiting until the last minute to begin assignments.(拖延症是一种尽管有负面后果仍推迟任务的习惯，在学生中很常见。典型的行为包括反复查看信息、整理不重要的物品，或者等到最后一分钟才开始做作业。)”和下文“It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management.(它可能源于对失败的恐惧、完美主义或缺乏动力。那些看起来无聊、困难或无条理的任务更容易被推迟。此外，一些学生因为担心被评价而拖延，而另一些学生则只是难以管理时间。)”可知，第一段介绍拖延症的定义和典型行为，本空需引出拖延症的成因。A选项“This habit may arise from multiple psychological factors.(这种习惯可能源于多种心理因素。)”能承上启下，符合题意，故选A。 (2)题解析： 由上文“It can stem from fear of failure, perfectionism, or lack of motivation. Tasks that seem boring, difficult, or unstructured are more likely to be postponed. Additionally, some students procrastinate due to anxiety about being evaluated, while others simply struggle with time management.(它可能源于对失败的恐惧、完美主义或缺乏动力。那些看起来无聊、困难或无条理的任务更容易被推迟。此外，一些学生因为担心被评价而拖延，而另一些学生则只是难以管理时间。)”可知，前文已详细列举拖延症的多种成因，本空需承接前文说明应对拖延症的紧迫性。E选项 “Immediate action is crucial since such situations tend to worsen gradually.(立即采取行动至关重要，因为这种情况往往会逐渐恶化。)”既总结了前文拖延症成因复杂的现状，又强调了及时应对的必要性，符合逻辑。故选E。 (3)题解析： 由上文“Fortunately, various strategies can help overcome procrastination. Experts emphasize that understanding the root cause is essential for designing effective solutions.(幸运的是，多种策略可以帮助克服拖延症。专家强调，了解根本原因对于设计有效的解决方案至关重要。)”和下文“If anxiety is the main reason, practicing relaxation techniques before starting work may be helpful. For those troubled by perfectionism, setting “good enough” standards and focusing on progress rather than perfection can encourage earlier engagement. Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints.(如果焦虑是主要原因，在开始学习前练习放松技巧可能会有帮助。对于受完美主义困扰的人来说，设定“足够好”的标准，并且关注进步而非追求完美，有助于促使他们更早投入任务。教师可以通过提供清晰的指导和定期检查来为学生提供支持。)”可知，本空需体现“成因不同，解决方案不同”的逻辑。B选项“Different causes of procrastination require specific responses.(拖延症的不同成因需要针对性的应对措施。)”直接呼应前文“了解根本原因”的重要性，又引出后文针对不同成因的具体解决方法，符合题意。故选B。 (4)题解析： 由上文“Teachers can support students by providing clear instructions and periodic checkpoints.(教师可以通过提供明确的指导和定期检查来支持学生。)”可知，前文介绍了教师的支持方式，本空需延续“他人支持”的话题，补充其他相关群体的帮助。G选项“Family members may also encourage students by sharing their own experiences.(家庭成员也可以通过分享自己的经历来鼓励学生。)”中also承接前文教师的作用，拓展了支持学生的主体，符合“多方助力”的逻辑，符合题意。故选G。 (5)题解析： 由下文“For instance, breaking a large project into small steps and setting deadlines for each part can reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. Creating a tidy workspace and turning off social media notifications also minimize distractions.(例如，将一个大项目分解成小步骤，并为每个部分设定截止日期，可以减少感到不知所措的感觉。创造一个整洁的工作空间并关闭社交媒体通知也能减少干扰。)”可知，后文列举了几种简单易操作的克服拖延症的方法，本空需作为总起句引出这些方法。D选项“Some other simple methods can make it easier for putters-off as well.(一些其他简单的方法也能让拖延症患者更轻松地克服拖延。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选D。 Passage 4 （25-26高三上·山东枣庄滕州市·期中）I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. 1 My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example. After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. 2 It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time. 3 I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed. Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. 4 However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations. On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. 5 Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along. A. It helps widen perspectives. B. This method has its limitations. C. That was when I took up speed reading. D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles. E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books. F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading. G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts. 【答案】1. E 2. C 3. F 4. G 5. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。作者通过分享自己的阅读经历，探讨了不同的阅读方法及其对学习和理解的影响。 (1)题解析： 上文提到“It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book(这是一种缓慢但能更深入地吸收书籍内容的方式)”，说明作者之前的阅读方式较慢。后文“My struggle with Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example(我早期阅读陀思妥耶夫斯基的《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》时的艰难经历就是一个很好的例子)”，表明因为阅读方式慢，读厚书很费劲。选项E“That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books(这就是为什么我花了几个月时间才读完那些厚书)”中的“That’s why”承接上文的慢阅读方式，“took me months to finish heavy books”与后文读《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》的艰难相呼应。故选E。 (2)题解析： 前文说“Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages(很多个夜晚，我都熬夜到午夜过后，翻阅着书页)”，表明为了工作阅读量很大。后文“It helped me breeze through my reading requirements(它帮助我轻松完成了阅读任务)”，说明有一种方法让阅读变得轻松。选项C“That was when I took up speed reading(就在那时我开始了速读)”中的“took up speed reading”解释了能轻松完成阅读任务的原因，符合语境。故选C。 (3)题解析： 后文“I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. (我不再只专注于一本书，而是在几本书之间切换，每本花大约半个小时。目前，我正在读六本书，处于不同的阶段，还有更多的书即将开始。)”，说明现在的阅读习惯是同时读多本书。选项F“Nowadays I’ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading(如今我养成了同时阅读多本书的习惯)”，准确概括了后文的内容，引出下文。故选F。 (4)题解析： 根据下文“However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.(然而，它往往会限制你在新的和不同的情况下应用知识的方式。)”中的转折和提到的“Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”的局限性可知，空格处的句子应该提到“集Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”的好处，G项“This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.(这种方法对于掌握单个概念是有效的。)”提到“Blocked Practice(集中练习法)”对掌握单个概念的作用，符合语境。故选G项。 (5)题解析： 前文提到“Interleaved Practice(交叉练习法)”的好处“could produce dramatic, long - lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills(可以产生显著的、持久的学习效果。通过在不同主题之间切换，读者可以在不同的想法和技能之间建立联系)”。选项A“It helps widen perspectives(它有助于拓宽视野)”，进一步说明了交叉练习法的好处，与前文内容相呼应，it代指上文的“Interleaved Practice”。故选A。 Passage 5 （25-26高三上·山东滨州惠民县·期中）Diaries are usually very helpful in managing what happens to us on a daily basis. 1 I spent a long time investigating how to create a mood journal. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find anything. There was a lot of theory, but I didn’t know where to start. 2 The experience was so positive that today I am going to share it with you. To create a mood journal, the first step is to get a notebook dedicated for this purpose alone. 3 When they are all in one place, you can return to your mood journal whenever you need to and analyze them from a different perspective. Once you have a notebook, it’s time to begin. When you’re writing, you should be calm, alone, and not in a hurry. You can write every day if you need to. 4 The important thing to remember is that your mood journal isn’t just for negative emotions like anger, frustration, and anxiety. It is also for positive emotions like happiness and joy. This will help you get to know yourself on a deeper level. Writing in your mood journal consistently will help you understand yourself better. You will be able to identify the problem areas in your life and notice which emotion comes up the most. Is it fear, or maybe insecurity? 5 So you can put them into practice and not just leave them on the page. A. Or just write when you feel the need. B. It will be easier to connect to your emotions. C. Are you a person with a lot of negative emotions? D. Being aware of it will help you come up with suggestions. E. That way you don’t have your notes all scattered (分散的) around. F. So, I decided to grab my own notebook and manage my emotions my way. G. Emotional diaries have the particularity of helping us restructure our thinking. 【答案】1. G 2. F 3. E 4. A 5.

However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find anything. There was a lot of theory, but I didn’t know where to start. (我花了很长时间研究如何创建情绪日记。然而，无论我怎么努力，都没找到合适的方法。有很多理论，但我不知道从哪里开始。)”描述了作者关于创建情绪日记的困境，下文“The experience was so positive that today I am going to share it with you. (这段经历非常积极，所以今天我要和你们分享。)”说明作者有了自己的实践经历。F选项“所以，我决定拿起自己的笔记本，用自己的方式管理情绪。”承接上文的“无方法”，引出下文的“积极体验”，符合语境。故选F。 (3)题解析： 上文“To create a mood journal, the first step is to get a notebook dedicated for this purpose alone. (创建情绪日记的第一步是准备一个专门用于此目的的笔记本。)”提出“用专门笔记本”的建议，下文“When they are all in one place, you can return to your mood journal whenever you need to and analyze them from a different perspective. (当所有内容都集中在一处时，你可以随时查看情绪日记，从不同角度分析内容。)”说明集中记录的好处。E选项“这样你的笔记就不会分散各处。”解释了“用专门笔记本”的作用，衔接上文的“专门笔记本”和下文“集中在一处”，符合语境。故选E。 (4)题解析： 上文“You can write every day if you need to.

You will be able to identify the problem areas in your life and notice which emotion comes up the most. Is it fear, or maybe insecurity? (坚持写情绪日记会帮助你更好地了解自己。你能识别生活中的问题区域，注意哪种情绪出现得最多。是恐惧，还是不安全感。)”说明识别情绪问题的作用，下文“So you can put them into practice and not just leave them on the page. (这样你就能将它们付诸实践，而不只是写在纸上。)”强调“实践”的动作。D选项“意识到这一点会帮助你想出解决办法。”承接上文的“识别情绪问题”，引出下文的“实践办法”，符合语境。故选D。 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东济南长清区·期中）I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. 1 What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? 2 I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college. 3 We lived next to each other, ate together, and stayed up late together. They were my early friend group, and they brought laughter, growth, and memories — both positive and negative. Those highs and lows taught me an important lesson: Not every friendship is meant to last, and that’s okay. Your friendships don’t just impact your social life — they affect your motivation, your academics, and, among other things, your sense of self. I have found it valuable to surround myself with people who share my values to keep me grounded. 4 College is one of the few places in life where you’re surrounded by people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences. Keeping an open mind is just as important as finding common ground. College can be, and probably will be, chaotic. People come and go. You’ll probably cry over friendships that didn’t work out. 5 That’s all part of the process. Over time, you will find your people. A. They’re part of your story. B. But it was also filled with uncertainty. C. I wouldn’t trade my friendship for anything. D. They mostly so happened to be the people on my floor. E. That said, don’t limit yourself to just those who are like you. F. You may smile at memories with people no longer close with. G. Of all the unknowns, the last question consumed me the most. 【答案】1. B 2. G 3. D 4. E 5. F 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章结合作者在大学的经历讲述了如何在大学交朋友、正确的友谊观以及如何对待失去的友情。 (1)题解析： 上文“I vividly remember the process of moving in for the first time: stuffing clothes, comfort items, and pieces of my childhood into various bags and boxes. It was a whirlwind (旋风)of excitement. (我清晰地记得第一次搬进去的情景：把衣服、贴心物件，还有承载着童年回忆的物品，一一塞进大大小小的袋子和箱子里。那真是一段满心激动的时光。)”描述了作者兴奋的状态，下文“What would it be like living at college? Would I get along with my roommate? How would I make friends with complete strangers? (住在大学里会是什么样子？我能和我的室友处得好吗？我怎么和完全陌生的人交朋友？)”指出了作者的一系列担忧。由此可知，作者在兴奋的同时也有一些不确定的地方。B项“但它也充满了不确定性。”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 (2)题解析： 下文“I had always felt like I struggled more than others to find “my people.” In high school, I had a few close friends, but it always seemed like everyone else had these big, inseparable friend groups that did everything together. I wanted that, and the sense of belonging, too. (我一直觉得，自己比别人更难找到 “同类挚友”。高中时，我有几个要好的朋友，但总感觉其他人都有那种庞大又形影不离的朋友圈，做什么事都一起。我也渴望那样的圈子，渴望那种归属感。)”推测，最让作者困惑的问题是在大学如何交到志同道合的朋友。G项“在所有的未知中，最后一个问题最让我困惑。”符合语境，承接上文的最后一个问题，下文解释作者担心的原因。故选G。 (3)题解析： 上文“Like many, I was attracted by the first people I met in college.

Over time, you will find your people. (这都是成长过程中的一部分。久而久之，你总会找到与自己合拍的挚友。)”指出随着时间的流逝我们可以找到挚友。由此推测，空处承接上文继续陈述可能会怎样对待失去的友谊。F项“你可能会微笑着回忆那些不再亲近的人。”符合语境。故选F。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）AI tools regularly make mistakes and make up sources. By some estimates, over half of AI-driven answers have factual errors. Children’s exposure to misleading information online isn’t new. 1 Even children who are online only for short periods likely see false or inaccurate information. Here’s how to help them spot it. 2 Any parent knows the feeling of being caught in a never-ending loop (循环) of whys from their kid. 3 Provide informative answers, but build their thought processes, too. “Great question, what do you think? What makes you think that? How would we find out what’s right?” You’ll develop their critical thinking by emphasizing the process of reasoning, not just the outcome. Encourage skepticism (怀疑). Children’s skepticism is context-specific. My colleagues and I have demonstrated, for example, that even four-year-olds show basic fact-checking abilities in digital contexts under the right circumstances. When they notice that a platform contained some misinformation in the past, they seek out more evidence before accepting a new claim. 4 For example, if you come across a doubtful AI summary, comment on it out loud. Practice strategic disengagement (脱离). Critical thinking is slow and deliberate. Scrolling through a social media feed is quite the opposite. Even when a questionable post arouses skepticism, that feeling might fade as soon as a newer piece of content appears. 5 Taking frequent breaks can stop the habit of endless, passive consumption. Another simple strategy is to teach children that if something arouses strong emotions, they should pause. A. Use children’s natural curiosity. B. But now AI has worsened the problem. C. When that desire to learn strikes, join in. D. Evaluate the quality of children’s questions. E. Show your child you also doubt things online. F. Ultimately, kids’ presence in the digital landscape is a reality. G. Parents can help children learn when to slow down and reflect. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 4. E 5. G 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI工具导致网络误导信息增多，针对儿童如何识别此类信息，作者给出了三项具体建议。 (1)题解析： 由上文“Children’s exposure to misleading information online isn’t new.

You keep checking the clock and your throat suddenly goes dry. 1 They’re not signs of weakness, but your body’s way of preparing you for a new environment and social challenges. In unfamiliar situations, our body goes through several changes to help us adapt. Increased alertness and sensitivity allow us to process new information faster. 2 By becoming more observant, we notice important details around us. Our body releases special chemicals to improve concentration and memory. These reactions are part of what’s called the alertness response, the body’s way of dealing with new or unknown environments. They’re automatically activated by our nervous system, which helps us face uncertainty. This system sharpens our senses, enhances learning readiness, and helps us make quick decisions. 3 This natural adaptation system helped our ancestors recognize new territories and potential opportunities. Nowadays, we encounter very different situations from those our ancestors faced. 4 It activates when we meet new people, join a new club, or try a different learning method, helping us adjust to changes in our lives. 5 When the new situation becomes familiar, our brain typically signals our body to relax through another part of our nervous system. Our breathing deepens and slows down, muscle tension decreases, and comfortable feelings gradually return. Then we feel more at ease and confident. This shift back to a "calming mode" is just as crucial as the initial alertness, allowing for recovery and long-term adaptation. The "alert mode" and the "calming mode" work together to help us navigate through various life experiences smoothly. A. Therefore, it plays a vital role in our life. B. Moreover, all of these feelings are quite natural. C. However, this "alert mode" doesn’t stay on forever. D. Our senses become sharper to take in more information. E. Each change serves an important purpose for adaptation. F. Yet this alertness system remains active and essential in our daily lives. G. These physical signals might make you nervous, but they’re temporary. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 4. F 5.

Then how to stay positive during difficult times? Change your opinion. One of the most powerful ways to stay positive during difficult times is by changing how you view your problems. It’s easy to focus on what’s going wrong. 2 When you see your problems differently, they become stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Instead of thinking, “This is unfair”, try asking, “How can I turn this into a learning experience?” 3 In difficult times, your minds often get stuck on everything that’s going wrong. Gratitude helps you focus on what’s still right. It can be as simple as appreciating a cup of coffee in the morning or a smile from a friend. Practicing gratitude turns your attention away from problems and reminds you of the good things in life, however small they may seem. Surround yourself with positivity. 4 If you surround yourself with people who lift you up and believe in you, it becomes easier to stay hopeful. But if your social circle is full of negativity, it can pull you back. Take care of your physical health. Staying positive isn’t just about the mind; it’s also about taking care of your body. Physical health directly affects how you feel emotionally. When you exercise, your body produces endorphins (内啡肽) that improve your emotion. 5 A. Be grateful. B. Focus on what you can control. C.

The first AI program was developed in the 1950s by computer scientists. 1 This technology now impacts various areas from healthcare to transportation. In medicine, AI algorithms (算法) analyze medical images faster than human doctors, processing thousands of scans in minutes to identify rare diseases. 2 For example, some systems detect early signs of diseases like cancer with over 90% accuracy, significantly improving patient survival rates. However, these tools are designed to assist rather than replace medical professionals, as human judgment remains critical in complex cases. 3 Self-driving cars use sensors and AI to navigate roads safely, interpreting traffic signals, avoiding obstacles, and adapting to changing weather conditions. Major automakers have invested billions in this technology, though fully autonomous vehicles still face regulatory challenges related to liability and safety standards. The change to widespread use needs technical improvements and gradual public acceptance. Education has also benefited from AI applications, particularly in personalized learning. AI-powered tutors offer 24/7 academic support globally, answering student questions, explaining difficult concepts, and assigning practice exercises. These platforms adjust difficulty levels based on student performance. 4 Despite its advantages, AI development presents societal challenges. Ethical (道德的) concerns regarding data privacy have arisen, as AI systems often rely on vast amounts of personal information. Additionally, unemployment due to automation has sparked debates about workforce retraining and economic inequality. 5 As AI continues to mature, finding the balance between technological advancement and human values remains crucial to ensuring its benefits are shared equitably.

The answer lies in the power of micro-habits. 1 Yet when integrated into daily life, they have the potential to create lasting changes in your environment and well-being. Making your bed is one of those micro-habits. It only takes a moment, but it gives you a sense of control and calms before your day even begins. When you walk into your bedroom later, it already looks more put-together. 2 Want to make it even better? Mist your pillows or sheets with a scent you love. Suddenly, your room feels like a luxury hotel. Here is a life-saving rule: If it takes less than a minute, just do it now. This applies to so many things — putting your shoes away, cleaning the kitchen counter, folding that blanket on the couch. The beauty of this habit is that it stops small messes from snowballing into overwhelming projects. 3 Your brain isn’t gradually stressed out by the chaos around you. 4 Just carve out one little corner that feels like you.

Let’s explore a few effective ones that can make a significant impact. One effective strategy is setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Related and Time-limited) goals, which helps clarify goals, making them more achievable. For example, instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” you might set a SMART goal like, “I will run three times a week for 30 minutes for the next month.” 2 Carrying out reward systems can significantly improve motivation. 3 Moreover, having an accountability partner encourages commitment and provides extra support. Sharing your goals with someone else can create a social commitment that keeps you motivated. 4 Break time allows your mind to recharge, preventing burnout. Including short breaks in your schedule can lead to increased productivity and motivation. Remember, a well-rested mind is a motivated mind! Getting feedback (反馈) from those around you can provide valuable perspectives (视角) on your motivation levels. 5 Additionally, discussing your challenges can help you feel supported and understood, further increasing your motivation to keep going. A. Rest is as important as hard work. B. They can offer suggestions that you haven’t considered. C. The surrounding environment greatly influences your motivation. D.

For example, instead of saying, “I want to get fit,” you might set a SMART goal like, “I will run three times a week for 30 minutes for the next month.”(一个行之有效的策略是设定SMART（具体明确、可衡量、可实现、相关联且有时限）目标，这有助于明确目标，使其更具可实现性。例如，与其说“我想变得健康”，不如设定一个SMART目标，像“接下来的一个月，我每周跑步三次，每次30分钟”)”通过举例说明了设定SMART目标能让目标更清晰具体，从而增加采取行动的动机，E选项“It provides clarity and structure, increasing your motivation to take action.(它提供了清晰和结构，增加了你采取行动的动力)”总结了设定SMART目标的好处，与前文内容相符。故选E。 (3)题解析： 前文“Carrying out reward systems can significantly improve motivation.(实施奖励制度可以显著提高动机)”表明奖励系统对提高动机有重要作用，接下来应该具体说明奖励系统是如何起到激励作用的。F选项“Treating yourself for reaching each small goal can create a sense of achievement.(为每一个小目标的实现犒劳一下自己，这会给你带来成就感)”解释了奖励系统通过创造成就感来提高激励，与前文话题一致，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 (4)题解析： 后文“Break time allows your mind to recharge, preventing burnout. Including short breaks in your schedule can lead to increased productivity and motivation. Remember, a well-rested mind is a motivated mind!(休息时间能让你的大脑恢复精力，防止过度疲惫。在日程安排中加入短暂休息，能够提升工作效率和积极性。记住，休息良好的大脑才是充满干劲的大脑！)”主要强调了休息对提高激励的重要性。A选项“Rest is as important as hard work.(休息和努力工作一样重要)”引出了后文关于休息重要性的讨论，符合语境，故选A。 (5)题解析： 前文“Getting feedback (反馈) from those around you can provide valuable perspectives (视角) on your motivation levels.(从你周围的人那里获得反馈可以为你的动力水平提供有价值的视角)”提到他人的反馈能提供有价值的视角，接下来应该说明这些视角能带来什么好处。B选项“They can offer suggestions that you haven’t considered.(他们可以提供你没有考虑过的建议)”进一步阐述了他人反馈的作用，即提供新建议，与前文逻辑连贯，故选B。 Passage 8 （25-26高三上·山东济南第一中学·期中）When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed. 1 For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications. Silence gets people’s attention If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. 2 The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent, people will notice it and we gain their attention. Silence uses body language Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth. 3 The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships. Silence offers sympathy for others There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them. 4 Silence is polite 5 They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter. A. We can offer comfort by our calming silence. B. The silence often leaves the other person puzzled. C. To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation. D. Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence. E. Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest. F. We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information. G. All of a sudden, you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped. 【答案】1. D 2. G 3. E 4. A 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是说明文。介绍了我们日常交流中尝试保持沉默的原因。 (1)题解析： 根据上文“When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed.(当我们用沉默回答问题时，它往往是非常有力的)”可知，上文提到用沉默回答问题，即对方从沉默中找到答案。故D选项“通常对方会在沉默中很快得到所需的答案”符合语境，故选D。 (2)题解析： 根据上文“If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention.

Some- times we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them.(在生活中，有时沉默会给别人带来同情和理解。有时，我们只是没有正确的语言来与那些正在与伤害或痛苦的情况作斗争的人交流。但我们仍然可以告诉他们，我们关心他们，我们在他们身边)”可知，上文提到沉默会给别人带来同情和理解，本句为本段最后一句应说明沉默可以提供安慰。故A选项“我们可以通过平静的沉默来提供安慰”符合语境，故选A。 (5)题解析： 根据后文“They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.(它们可能是无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休。所以当我们有机会交谈时，我们通常会觉得我们必须在短时间内把所有的想法都填满。然而，当我们沉默时，我们给了别人说话的机会。我们让他们知道他们很重要)”可知，后文提到了无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休，即各种信息的来源。故F选项“我们生活在一个与如此多的信息来源作斗争的社会”符合语境，故选F。 Passage 9 （25-26高三上·山东德州·期中）The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature. Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy. 1 Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood. Why does this happen? The main reason is that we keep raising our expectations for well-being. 2 Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment.

S. has declined by 22 percent across all species between 2000 and 2020. 1 People should be seeing this number and being very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general. Across 35 monitoring programs, scientists and volunteers have identified 12.6 million butterflies from 554 species at 2,478 unique locations. Initially, researchers expected to see declines for many species, but that once all the data was scaled up to cover the entire nation, they also expected to see enough increases to wash out the bad news. 2 “It’s kind of an overwhelming amount of loss and decline,” one of the researchers said. This is a wake-up call. 3 It is found that more than 100 species saw drops greater than 50 percent over the twenty-year timespan and that 22 species have declined more than 90 percent. 4 Butterflies are not the only insects in danger, and their declines connect to bigger concerns. It could be broadly indicative of the overall biodiversity crisis. It is estimated that three billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. While scientists say the butterfly losses can be attributed to many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, there are some things individuals can do to help butterflies. 5 Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat-can have a huge impact on the increase in population. That’s one of the most optimistic things. Butterflies do have the ability to bounce back, if people put the effort into conservation actions. A. Unfortunately, that was not the case. B. Even common species are in trouble. C. Such findings are just the tip of the iceberg. D. The situation reflects a wider ecological disaster. E. The reality may be worse than the numbers suggest. F. That means about one in five butterflies have vanished. G. Creating insect-friendly environments can yield rapid benefits. 【答案】1. F 2. A 3. C 4. D 5.

It could be broadly indicative of the overall biodiversity crisis. It is estimated that three billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970.(蝴蝶并不是唯一处于危险中的昆虫，它们的减少与更大的问题有关。这可以广泛地反映出整个生物多样性危机。据估计，自1970年以来，北美已经失去了30亿只鸟类。)”提到蝴蝶并非唯一濒危昆虫，其减少指向生物多样性危机，北美鸟类也大量减少。D选项“The situation reflects a wider ecological disaster.(这种情况反映了更广泛的生态灾难。)”概括了这一核心，将蝴蝶衰退与整体生态危机关联，衔接自然。故选D项。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“While scientists say the butterfly losses can be attributed to many factors, including habitat loss, climate change, and pesticide use, there are some things individuals can do to help butterflies.(虽然科学家们说蝴蝶的减少可以归因于许多因素，包括栖息地的丧失、气候变化和农药的使用，但个人可以做一些事情来帮助蝴蝶。)”提出“个人可采取措施帮助蝴蝶”，后文“Because insects have short generation spans, even modest changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitat-can have a huge impact on the increase in population.(因为昆虫的繁殖周期很短，即使是对环境的轻微改变，如种植本地花卉或创造栖息地，也会对种群的增长产生巨大的影响。)”解释“昆虫繁殖周期短，环境的微小改善就能大幅促进种群增长”。G选项“Creating insect-friendly environments can yield rapid benefits.(创造适合昆虫的环境能快速见效。)”既呼应前文“个人措施”，又为后文的原因解释铺垫，逻辑闭环。故选G项。 Passage 3 （25-26高三上·山东聊城·期中）It was a new home. It cost $154,000. Sarah Jennings of Bay Shore, New York was ready to buy it, but her real estate agent suggested getting a home inspection. 1 Jennings said, “I was just depressed. It was less than perfect.” Since the problems were minor and would cost little to fix, Jennings decided to buy the house anyway. Many people are now adding the important step of home inspection into the process of buying a home. A home inspector does not check to see if the price is reasonable. 2 Do the electricity and water work well? Is the roof in good condition? What repairs may be necessary? A typical home inspection can cost anywhere from 500, with the national average sitting right around $336. 3 However, a thorough home inspection can save you from an unwise purchase and possibly costly repairs in the future. Put another way, the home inspection fee is an investment in peace of mind. 4 This is an important step in the home buying process and secures the value of your investment. While there are no set standards when it comes to the length of time it takes to inspect a home, the process usually takes about two to three hours. For homes with additional features, this process will take longer, while for small homes an inspection may only take an hour or two. The American dream of owning a home is possible. Still, many have yet to find a place to call their own. In Bay Shore, there were more than 2,000 people interested in buying 52 houses in the new housing project. 5 Luckily, Jennings is not one of them. A. This may seem like an unnecessary expense. B. Among those, at least 1,948 families are still looking. C. A home inspection isn’t something you want to rush through. D. After the inspection, Jennings no longer wanted to buy the house. E. Instead, a certified one checks on all functional aspects of the house. F. Hours later, the home inspector gave Jennings a list of over 20 problems. G. The monthly housing expenses should be no more than 29% of a family’s income. 【答案】1. F 2. E 3. A 4. C 5. B 【解析】【导语】 xxx本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了买房流程中房屋检查的重要性、费用、时长，以及相关现实背景。 (1)题解析： 上文“It was a new home.

What repairs may be necessary?(水电系统运行正常吗？屋顶状况良好吗？可能需要哪些维修？)”中列举的“水电、房屋”均属于功能方面，呼应一致。故选E。 (3)题解析： 上文“A typical home inspection can cost anywhere from 500, with the national average sitting right around $336.(一次常规的房屋检查费用在200至500美元之间，全国平均水平约为336美元。)”给出房屋检查的费用范围。选项A“This may seem like an unnecessary expense.(这可能看起来是一笔不必要的开支。)”延续上文内容，指出这可能看起来是没必要的开支；与下文“However, a thorough home inspection can save you from an unwise purchase and possibly costly repairs in the future.(但一次全面的房屋检查能让你避免不明智的购买决策，还可能省去未来高昂的维修费用。)”的转折逻辑一致，指出看似没必要，实则有价值。故选A。 (4)题解析： 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“This is an important step in the home buying process and secures the value of your investment. While there are no set standards when it comes to the length of time it takes to inspect a home, the process usually takes about two to three hours. For homes with additional features, this process will take longer, while for small homes an inspection may only take an hour or two.(这是买房过程中关键的一步，能保障你投资的价值。虽然房屋检查的时长没有固定标准，但通常需要2到3小时。如果房屋有额外设施，检查时间会更长；而小型房屋的检查可能只需1到2小时。)”可知，本段主要讲述了房屋检查的时长不固定，因此不能着急。选项C“A home inspection isn’t something you want to rush through.(房屋检查不是你想仓促完成的事。)”作为段落主旨句，引出后文对检查时长的说明，贴合主题。故选C。 (5)题解析： 空前“In Bay Shore, there were more than 2,000 people interested in buying 52 houses in the new housing project.(在贝肖尔市的某个新住宅项目中，有2000多人对52套房子感兴趣)”提到2000多人对52套房子感兴趣。选项B“Among those, at least 1,948 families are still looking.(其中至少1948个家庭仍在寻觅。)”承接上文2000多人的数量，同时自然引出下文“Luckily, Jennings is not one of them.(幸运的是，Jennings不在其中。)”，指出Jennings成功买到了房子，衔接自然。故选B。 Passage 4 （25-26高三上·山东烟台·期中）Forget your keys again? Can’t memorize what the exam will cover? Memory troubles are no big deal. You can fix them with simple strategies. 1 Strategy 1: Make meaningful connections When you’re remembering new information, even random, unconnected facts, the brain links details to stored information. So, the easiest way is to make it meaningful by connecting to what you know and making sense within context. 2 For example, people find it easier to remember new vocabulary if they translate concepts into their own words. Strategy 2: Space out your study sessions When you’re cramming for a test, spacing out sessions where you’re reviewing foreign language vocabulary or memorizing flashcards can help your brain store memories more efficiently. 3 Spaced repetition works because new information initially goes to short-term memory and consolidating it into long-term memory takes time and happens during rest. Strategy 3: Engage your senses When you want to remember a moment, engaging your senses during learning contributes to forming vivid recollections of an experience. 4 To find them, you must use your memory to compete with all the other times you’ve put them down. Next time you set your keys aside, focus on the unique aspects of this particular moment, like the sights or smells. These sensory experiences will create a distinct memory to aid later recall. Strategy 4: Journey through the memory palace The memory palace is an ancient technique that, studies show, can enhance recall. It is effective especially in remembering grocery lists. 5 As you walk through it, create an association between the items to be bought and specific spots. Then imagine yourself “walking” your route — each spot reminds you of the item. A. They’re tricky in diverse aspects. B. You might as well train your senses. C. Take misplacing your keys for instance. D. This can be done through personal narratives. E. But they depend on what you want to remember. F. Start by picturing a familiar space like your home. G. You need to revisit information at increasing time gaps. 【答案】1. E 2. D 3. G 4. C 5. F 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一些解决记忆问题的方法。 (1)题解析： 根据前文“Forget your keys again? Can’t memorize what the exam will cover?

You can fix them with simple strategies.(又忘带钥匙了？记不住考试的内容？记忆问题没什么大不了的。你可以用简单的策略来解决它们)”指出生活中的一些记忆问题可通过简单策略解决；E项“But they depend on what you want to remember.(但它们取决于你想记住什么)”和前文构成转折关系，点明策略需根据记忆目标选择，引出下文不同场景的策略，选项中“they”代指上文提到的“ simple strategies”。故选E项。 (2)题解析： 根据前文“When you’re remembering new information, even random, unconnected facts, the brain links details to stored information. So, the easiest way is to make it meaningful by connecting to what you know and making sense within context.(当你记住新信息时，即使是随机的、不相关的事实，大脑也会将细节与储存的信息联系起来。所以，最简单的方法就是把它和你所知道的联系起来，让它在上下文中有意义)”以及后文“For example, people find it easier to remember new vocabulary if they translate concepts into their own words.(例如，人们发现如果把概念翻译成自己的语言，就更容易记住新单词)”可知，前文介绍可以把要记住的信息和你所知道的联系起来，后文是具体举例，指出把概念翻译成自己的语言会有助于记忆，所以空处应是提出通过结合已知内容、转化为自身理解的方式建立联系，D项“This can be done through personal narratives.(这可以通过个人叙述来实现)”符合文意，“personal narratives”与下文“translate concepts into their own words”相对应。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 根据前文“When you’re cramming for a test, spacing out sessions where you’re reviewing foreign language vocabulary or memorizing flashcards can help your brain store memories more efficiently.(当你为了考试而临时抱佛脚时，在复习外语词汇或记忆卡片的时间间隔可以帮助你的大脑更有效地储存记忆)”以及后文“Spaced repetition works because new information initially goes to short-term memory and consolidating it into long-term memory takes time and happens during rest.(间隔重复之所以有效，是因为新信息最初进入短期记忆，巩固为长期记忆需要时间，而且需要在休息时进行)”可知，前文知提到时间间隔，后文提到了间隔重复，所以空处应提出间隔复习的具体操作方法，G项“You need to revisit information at increasing time gaps.(您需要在不断增加的时间间隔中重新访问信息)”符合文意。故选G项。 (4)题解析： 根据前文“When you want to remember a moment, engaging your senses during learning contributes to forming vivid recollections of an experience.(当你想记住一个时刻时，在学习过程中调动你的感官有助于形成对一段经历的生动回忆)”以及后文“To find them, you must use your memory to compete with all the other times you’ve put them down. Next time you set your keys aside, focus on the unique aspects of this particular moment, like the sights or smells.(为了找到它们，你必须用你的记忆来与其他所有你放下它们的时间竞争。下次你把钥匙放在一边的时候，把注意力集中在这个特殊时刻的独特方面，比如风景或气味)”可知，前文提出方法，后文用找到钥匙举例，所以C项“Take misplacing your keys for instance.(以放错钥匙为例)”符合文意，引出下文。故选C项。 (5)题解析： 根据前文“The memory palace is an ancient technique that, studies show, can enhance recall. It is effective especially in remembering grocery lists.(研究表明，记忆宫殿是一种古老的技术，可以增强记忆力。它在记忆购物清单方面尤其有效)”以及下文“As you walk through it, create an association between the items to be bought and specific spots. Then imagine yourself “walking” your route — each spot reminds you of the item.(当你走过它时，在要购买的物品和特定地点之间建立联系。然后想象自己“走”在你的路线上——每一个地点都会提醒你这件事。)”可知，前文介绍 “记忆宫殿法”，并指出其适用于记忆购物清单，后文分步说明记忆购物清单时如何构建记忆宫殿，F项“Start by picturing a familiar space like your home.(从想象一个熟悉的空间开始，比如你的家)”点明“记忆宫殿法”的第一步，与后文“as you walk through it”与“Then imagine yourself “walking” your route”衔接自然，完整呈现操作流程。故选F项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
