话题1 杰出人物成就(共3篇)
Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽芜湖·期末)The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives.
1 What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.
By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world.
Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it? 2
First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives. 3 It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones.
Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists. 4 Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have.
Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment. 5 Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations.
A.That’s not because we’re careless human beings.
B.They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.
C.Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people
D.I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.
E.However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.
F.It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about.
G.Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?
【答案】1.D 2.G 3.A 4.B 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者指出社交媒体充斥娱乐名人生活,认为科学家更值得被追捧,分析了人们更关注娱乐、科学家不喜聚光灯的原因,虽科学难成主流焦点,但疫情让人们对科学的兴趣有所提升。
1.前文“The whole world changes around them: actors singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送) . I get too familiar with their lives.(整个世界都在他们身边发生着变化:演员、歌手、模特、运动员和电视节目主持人。如果我浏览一下 Instagram、Snapchat 或任何社交媒体的新闻推送,我会对他们的生活变得非常熟悉。)”说社交媒体满是明星名流的生活,后文“What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.(但我看不到的是,除了娱乐之外,他们对世界做出的真正重大贡献是什么。)”转折说 “除了娱乐,看不到他们对世界的重大贡献”。空格需承上启下,先表明对娱乐行业和名人无抵触,再引出对其价值的思考,D项“I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.(我并不反对娱乐行业和名人。)”完美衔接,消除语气的突兀感。故选D项。
2.前文“So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it?(所以,如果把我们所有的精力和注意力都投入到科学家身上会如此有益于世界,我们为什么不这样做呢?)”提出把娱乐行业的资源投入科研会让世界受益,并用反问“为何不这么做”引发思考,空格需承接这一反问,进一步深化核心问题 —— 为何不把科学家当作新的“名人”。G项“Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?(如果科学家是最值得的人,我们为何不把他们当作新的名人?)”与前文反问句式呼应,紧扣“重视科学家”的核心,引出后文原因分析。故选G项。
3.前文“People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives.(人们会更关注布拉德·皮特即将上映的新电影,而非美国国家航空航天局当前正在进行的可能改变我们生活方式的太空探索项目。)”说人们更关注明星而非科学家的科研成就,后文“It’s because we simply like being entertained.(这是因为我们就是喜欢被娱乐。)”直接给出原因“因为我们只是喜欢娱乐”。空格需衔接这一逻辑,先否定“人们粗心”的可能性,再引出真实原因。A项“That’s not because we’re careless human beings.(这并不是因为我们是粗心大意的人。)”用否定句式过渡,与后文的It’s because... 形成经典的“否定错误原因 + 给出真实原因”的逻辑链。故选A项。
4.本段主旨是“Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight.(另一个原因是,大多数科学家都不喜欢成为公众关注的焦点。)”说科学家不喜成为焦点,前文“There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists.(有研究已经确定了最有可能成为科学家的人的个性特征。)”说研究发现了科学家的性格特征,空格需具体说明该性格特征。B 项“They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.( 他们大多内敛、安静,且注重隐私。)”直接描述科学家的性格,解释了为何他们不愿被聚光灯关注,与后文“不喜被狗仔跟随、参加活动”的内容高度契合。故选B项。
5.前文“Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment.(即使在疫情期间,科学也还没有像娱乐那样受欢迎。)”说“即便疫情期间,科学仍不如娱乐受欢迎”,后文“Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19.(研究表明,由于新冠疫情,年轻人对科学职业更感兴趣了。)”转折说“疫情让年轻人对科研职业更感兴趣,或成观念转变的开端”。空格需承上启下,先指出疫情后人们对科学的兴趣确实有所提升,再衔接后文的具体表现。E项“However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.(然而,自疫情开始后,人们对科学的兴趣无疑有所上升。)”用However转折,既呼应前文的 “科学不受欢迎”,又引出后文的积极变化。故选E项。

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·江西南昌·期末)The Digital Doctor: A Double-Edged Sword
In our increasingly connected world, the way we manage our health is changing. Faced with minor illnesses like a persistent cough or headache, many of us now instinctively reach for our smartphones rather than the phone to book a doctor’s appointment. 1 . This immediate access to a vast encyclopedia (百科全书) of medical knowledge makes healthcare appear more accessible than ever before.
2 . The condition, known as “cyberchondria”, describes a state of health anxiety caused by excessive online searching. The process often works like this: an individual researches a common symptom, only to find it could be linked to a severe illness. This can lead to self-misdiagnosis (自我误诊) and intense, unnecessary worry. 3 . They advise the initial step in treatment is to drastically (极大地) reduce the patients’ internet using.
While the web holds a wealth of information, it critically lacks professional judgment. A face-to-face consultation (就诊) with a doctor provides not just a diagnosis, but also context, reassurance, and a tailored treatment plan. But a trend makes doctors feel challenged. They sometimes find patients arriving with printouts or descriptions of vague conditions they have self-diagnosed. 4 .
However, the internet is not solely a disruptive (破坏性的) force. As Professor Sue Ziebland from the University of Oxford has found through her research, online information is becoming a common part of patient-doctor conversations. 5 . This collaborative approach can lead to more informed discussions. Ultimately, it seems that while the virtual world can offer a helpful dose of information, the human medical expert remains irreplaceable for their experience and empathetic care.
A.Some apps even enable remote patient monitoring.
B.It can make the consultation process more complex.
C.Hence, building trusted medical websites is essential.
D.Online resources offer instant guidance on all health issues.
E.Experts find many such patients spend too much time online.
F.However, this convenience comes with a significant disadvantage.
G.Therefore, doctors now often discuss online findings with patients.
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.E 4.B 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述数字医疗是一把双刃剑,既给人们获取健康信息带来便利,也引发网络疑病症等问题,强调医生不可替代。
1.由上文“many of us now instinctively reach for our smartphones rather than the phone to book a doctor’s appointment.(我们现在很多人本能地拿起智能手机,而不是打电话预约医生)”以及下文“This immediate access to a vast encyclopedia of medical knowledge makes healthcare appear more accessible than ever before.(这种即时获取海量医学知识的途径让医疗保健比以往任何时候都更容易获得)”可知,本空要说在线资源能提供健康相关的即时指导,D项“在线资源为所有健康问题提供即时指导”能承上启下,符合题意。故选D。
2.由下文“The condition, known as “cyberchondria”, describes a state of health anxiety caused by excessive online searching.(这种情况被称为“网络疑病症”,指的是因过度上网搜索而引发的健康焦虑状态)”可知,本空要表示转折,引出这种便利带来的弊端,F项“然而,这种便利伴随着一个明显的缺点”能引出下文,符合题意。故选F。
3.由上文“This can lead to self-misdiagnosis and intense, unnecessary worry.(这可能导致自我误诊以及强烈且不必要的担忧)”以及下文“They advise the initial step in treatment is to drastically reduce the patients’ internet using.(他们建议治疗的第一步是大幅减少患者的上网时间)”可知,本空要说这类患者的上网情况,E项“专家发现很多这样的患者上网时间过长”能承上启下,选项中的such patients指代上文自我误诊、过度担忧的人。故选E。
4.由上文“They sometimes find patients arriving with printouts or descriptions of vague conditions they have self-diagnosed.(他们有时发现患者带着自己打印的资料或自我诊断的模糊病症描述前来就诊)”可知,本空要说这给医生就诊带来的影响,B项“这会让就诊过程变得更复杂”能承接上文,符合题意,该选项中的It指代上文患者带着自我诊断结果就诊这件事。故选B。
5.由上文“online information is becoming a common part of patient-doctor conversations.(在线信息正成为医患对话的常见内容)”以及下文“This collaborative approach can lead to more informed discussions.(这种协作方式能促成更有依据的交流)”可知,本空要说医生与患者讨论在线查到的信息,G项“因此,医生现在经常和患者讨论在线查到的结果”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的discuss online findings with patients与上文中的patient-doctor conversations相呼应。故选G。
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·广西贺州·期末)Today, screens have become an inseparable part of human life. 1 While technology offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can negatively impact their health. If you are parents, the following are a number of beneficial tips that can help keep your children active and healthy in the digital world.
Setting very clear rules for screen time is the first step. Regardless of age, it is important for children to have consistent limits on it daily. Make sure to spell these limits out loud and clear for children, explaining to them why such limits have been set in place. 2
It is also very important to balance screen time with outdoor play and exercise. 3 As you know, interest is the best teacher. And regular exercise helps them develop the motor skills of the body, builds strength, and keeps them at a healthy weight.
4 For example, the interactive games get kids up and moving around through dancing or sports-type video games. Setting activity challenges is also helpful. During screen time, challenge your children by taking breaks and doing brief physical activities. Challenge them to ten jumping jacks, running on the spot, or stretching every 30 minutes.
Many children tend to imitate(模仿)their parents’ behavior. Therefore, the first step toward developing good screen habits involves being a role model. 5 Besides, make it a point to discuss media use openly with your children to guide them effectively.
A.Parents and children should establish a good relationship.
B.If necessary, carry out this with the help of parental control tools.
C.Separating study time from play time is the most suitable for them.
D.Limit your own screen time and engage in the face-to-face interactions.
E.Motivate your children to get involved in different sports that they enjoy.
F.From study to play, children are increasingly exposed to electronic devices.
G.Combining screen time with physical activities can help engage children more.
【答案】1.F 2.B 3.E 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,短文聚焦数字时代孩子屏幕使用过多的问题,针对家长给出了一系列实用建议。
1.根据上文“Today, screens have become an inseparable part of human life.(如今,屏幕已成为人类生活中不可分割的一部分)”以及下文“While technology offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can negatively impact their health.(尽管科技带来诸多益处,但过长的屏幕时间会对孩子的健康产生负面影响)”可知,空格处需衔接前文的“屏幕融入生活”,具体落脚到孩子身上,说明孩子在学习和玩耍中都频繁接触电子设备,从而自然引出后文“屏幕时间过长危害孩子健康”的问题。F选项“From study to play, children are increasingly exposed to electronic devices.(从学习到玩耍,孩子们接触电子设备的机会越来越多)”精准承接前文,将屏幕的影响聚焦到孩子群体,“from study to play”贴合孩子的日常场景,“increasingly exposed to”为后文“excessive screen time”做铺垫,符合语境。故选F项。
2.根据本段小标题“Setting very clear rules for screen time is the first step.(为屏幕时间设定明确的规则是第一步)”以及上文“Make sure to spell these limits out loud and clear for children, explaining to them why such limits have been set in place.(一定要向孩子清晰明确地说明这些限制,并向他们解释制定这些限制的原因)”可知,空格处需补充设定屏幕使用规则的辅助方式,进一步完善“设定规则”的具体做法。B选项“If necessary, carry out this with the help of parental control tools.(如有必要,可借助家长控制工具来执行这项规定)”中的“this”指代前文为孩子设定的屏幕时间限制,“parental control tools”是设定并执行规则的实用辅助手段,贴合家长的实际操作需求,是对前文内容的合理延伸,符合语境。故选B项。
3.根据本段小标题“It is also very important to balance screen time with outdoor play and exercise.(平衡屏幕时间与户外玩耍和锻炼也非常重要)”以及下文“As you know, interest is the best teacher.

话题3 公园自然风光(共3篇)
Passage 1
(26-27高二上·全国·课后作业)China is building the world’s largest national park system. In 2021, it established its first national park. To date, China has opened five national parks to the public, covering a total of 57 million acres. These parks serve as vital habitats for rare animals such as the Giant Panda and Asian Elephant. 1
These parks are not just about ecological protection. 2 Besides, they are attracting tourists to experience the country’s rich natural diversity. Domestic tourists are increasingly drawn to China’s wilderness destinations, while foreigners have their own preference. 3 However, this trend will shift as China expands its national park system, predicting that the country will soon become a global hotspot for nature-based tourism.
Han Mei, from one of the leading tour companies, points out that China’s late start in building national parks is actually an advantage. “While the United States pioneered the Yellowstone model, preserving vast wilderness areas, it also made significant missteps,” Han explains. One key shortcoming was fencing off land and forcibly removing the local original inhabitants to create a false impression of “untouched” wilderness. 4 By building a relationship between local communities and wildlife conservation, China can create a national park system that integrates cultural vitality with the care for nature,” she adds.
That is undoubtedly a grand goal. 5 But it fits with China’s track record of completing remarkable projects, from the world’s largest dam to the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge and the high-speed rail network. Now, China is devoting its vast resources and expertise to protecting and showcasing its extraordinary natural scenery.
A.By 2035 it will have 49 parks covering 272 million acres.
B.The US national park system has a history of over 150 years.
C.Many countries have learned from China’s construction experience.
D.Building this vast national park system in 14 years is a great project.
E.They are also preserving cultural heritage and boosting local economies.
F.In contrast, China has the opportunity to develop a more sustainable approach.
G.Most international visitors still focus on China’s historic cities like Beijing and Shanghai.

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·海南儋州·期末)Nature comforts our stressed-out souls. We know that nature is the best prescription, and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks. 1 The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier, regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
“In general, we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well-being after the park visit,” the study’s lead author, Professor Hon K. Yuen at the University of Alabama at Birmingham said in a statement. “ 2 Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being.”
For the study, 94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama. 3 They also completed a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants’ self-reported well-being, even if they didn’t move a great deal in the park. 4
The study group was truly small, as the study’s co-author and another UAB professor, Gavin Jenkins, acknowledged. 5 The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A.The length of their physical activity was tracked.
B.You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C.However, its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D.If you want to feel happier, you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E.The best part of it is that you needn’t visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F.This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park, regardless of physical ability.
G.But we didn’t find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well-being.

Passage 3
(24-25高二下·重庆九龙坡·期末)Cities need nature to stay healthy. 1 Known as the “lungs of a city”, they not only beautify urban areas but also provide environment health, social, and economic benefits. These spaces play a key role in improving the quality of life for city residents.
Urban parks protect the environment.
Trees absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, reducing air pollution. They also provide shade, which lowers temperatures during hot summers. For example, studies show parks can reduce the “heat island” effect caused by roads and buildings, cooling nearby areas by up to 7℃. 2
Parks improve public health.
They offer spaces for jogging, cycling, and other exercises, encouraging physical activity. Spending time in nature also reduces stress and improves mental health. Research shows people who visit parks regularly have lower risks of being overweight and heart disease. 3 They are vital for healthy living.
4
People from different backgrounds gather here to relax and connect. Children make friends on playgrounds, while cultural festivals in picnic areas unite neighbors. As experts say, “Parks break down social barriers and create shared joy.” These interactions build a sense of belonging in crowded cities.
Parks greatly benefit local economies.
Homes near parks often have higher values, attracting families and investors. 5 Parks also draw tourists, boosting income for hotels, and restaurants.
A.Clearly, parks are not just for fun.
B.Parks strengthen community connections.
C.Investing in parks creates jobs and supports businesses.
D.Urban parks are essential green spaces in modern cities.
E.This makes parks critical for cities facing climate challenges.
F.Maintaining green spaces is wise for cities aiming for growth.

话题4 肢体语言交际(共3篇)
Passage 1
(25-26高二下·江西·期末)Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues.
1
When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” 2 Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.
Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.
3 However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening.
Adopt an open posture.
When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. 4 To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with.
Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements.
Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. 5
A.Lean in to listen.
B.Be an active observer with a deep lean in.
C.This closes the physical distance and builds connection.
D.You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.
E.Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.
F.Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently.
G.While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.E 4.G 5.D
【导语】文章介绍了通过非语言信号(如姿势、眼神、动作等)来展现自信、开放和魅力的几种习惯。
1.根据后文“When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(当你真正沉浸在一部电影或游戏中时,你会身体前倾。这同样适用于对话。微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号,表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”可知,本段主要讲述“身体前倾倾听”这一习惯。A选项“Lean in to listen.(前倾身体去倾听。)”适合作本段小标题,概括全段主旨。
2.根据前文“Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.”(微微将上半身倾向说话者是一个强烈的非语言信号,表示“我对你说的话感兴趣”。)”以及后文“Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.(只是要注意个人空间,因为过度前倾可能会显得不礼貌。)”可知,前文提到前倾的好处,后文提醒注意分寸,此处应补充前倾带来的积极效果。C选项“This closes the physical distance and builds connection.(这缩短了身体距离并建立了联系。)”承接前文,说明前倾的好处,与后文的提醒形成转折,符合语境。
3.根据本段小标题“Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.(找到眼神交流的“最佳平衡点”。)”以及后文“However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”.(然而,“投入”和“不舒服”之间只有一线之隔。)”可知,本段讨论眼神交流。E选项“Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.(看着别人的眼睛传递出自信和投入。)”承接小标题,说明眼神交流的积极意义,与后文“However”形成转折,指出过度直视的问题,符合语境。
4.根据前文“When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs.(当你交叉双臂或双腿时,你是在物理上保护你的重要器官。)”以及后文“To appear more approachable, keep your chest open.(为了显得更平易近人,保持胸部敞开。)”可知,前文描述交叉手臂的姿势,后文建议打开姿势,此处应说明交叉手臂姿势传递的负面信号。G选项“While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.(虽然舒服,但这种原始的防御姿势向他人传递出你封闭自我的信号。)”承接前文,解释交叉手臂的隐含意义,与后文的改进建议形成对比,符合语境。
5.根据前文“The warning: The key word is subtle.(警告:关键词是“巧妙”。)”以及本段主题“Subtly mirror their movements.(巧妙地模仿他们的动作。)”可知,此处强调模仿要适度。D选项“You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.(你要模仿的是他们的能量,而不是复制他们的每一个动作。)”承接前文的警告,具体说明“巧妙”的含义——即模仿整体状态而非机械复制动作,符合语境。
Passage 2
(25-26高二下·河南·期末)At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. 1 This leads to several benefits.
Increases heart health
As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. 2 One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health.
Reduces physical pain
Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. 3 Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers.
4
Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh.
Boosts immunity
Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. 5 Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.
A.Improves sleep.
B.Improves social communication.
C.Laughter helps reduce daily stress.
D.This is much like how our body responds to exercise.
E.These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness.
F.But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.
G.Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.
【答案】1.G 2.D 3.F 4.A 5.E
【导语】文章介绍了大笑对人体产生的多种生理益处,分别从保护心脏、缓解身体疼痛、改善睡眠、增强免疫力四个方面展开说明。
1.由上文“It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs.(大笑能让我们吸入更多富氧空气,刺激肺部运作。)”以及下文“This leads to several benefits.(这会带来多种益处。)”可知,空处应继续补充大笑给身体带来的生理变化,G选项“Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.(放声大笑还能缓解肌肉紧张。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“also”与上文形成并列呼应,下文This指代选项中的“relieve tension in our muscles”。
2.由上文“Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure.(大笑通过提升心率、降低血压来养护心脏。)”以及下文“One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily.(一项研究发现,几乎从不笑的人患心脏病的概率是每天大笑人群的1.21倍。)”可知,空处解释大笑护心的原理,D选项“This is much like how our body responds to exercise.(这和我们身体运动时的反应十分相似。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“This”指代上文“increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure”,“our body”与下文“heart disease”形成呼应。
3.由上文“As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort.(当我们观看节目开怀大笑时,头痛等不适感会暂时得到缓解。)”以及下文“Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain.(人体内部会启动稳定机制,提升我们的抗痛能力。)”可知,单纯转移注意力并不是止痛的真正原因,F选项“But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.(但仅仅是转移注意力并不能减轻痛感。)”形成语义转折,引出下文体内止痛机制,符合题意,该选项中的“distraction”与上文“distracted”相呼应,“alone isn’t”与下文“enhance our ability”相呼应。
4.由下文“Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better.(大笑还有另一项生理益处——改善睡眠。)”可知,本段核心为大笑改善睡眠,A选项“Improves sleep.(改善睡眠。)”作本段小标题,能总领整段内容,符合题意,该选项中的“sleep”与下文“sleep better”原词呼应。
5.由上文“By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body.(大笑能增加体内产生抗体的细胞,并提升T细胞活性。)”以及下文“Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.(内科医生与心理健康专业人士可以借助大笑疗法,帮助患者收获良好的健康恢复效果。)”可知,空格处说明这些细胞的防病作用,E选项“These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness.(这些微小细胞如同防御军队,抵御疾病。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“These tiny things”指代上文“antibody-producing cells”、“T cells”,“fight illness”与下文“help patients”语义呼应。
Passage 3
(25-26高二下·云南·期中)Mastering Body Language: The Key to Effective Communication
Effective communication goes beyond words. Body language plays a crucial role in conveying messages, emotions, and intentions. Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one’s ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly. 1
1. Posture and Confidence
2 Good posture communicates confidence and openness. Standing tall with shoulders back signals self-assurance, while lowering your head can imply insecurity or disinterest. A confident posture invites engagement and helps establish authority in both professional and social settings.
2. Eye Contact and Connection
Eye contact is one of the most powerful non-verbal cues. Maintaining appropriate eye contact shows attentiveness and respect. 3 Striking the right balance helps to build trust and fosters a sense of connection, making the interaction feel more personal and sincere.
3. Gestures and Expression
Gestures and facial expressions complement verbal communication and provide additional context. 4 Smiling, nodding, or using open palms creates a friendly, approachable atmosphere. On the other hand, crossed arms or a tense facial expression may unintentionally communicate defensiveness or discomfort.
In conclusion, mastering body language is crucial for effective communication. 5 Ultimately, these non-verbal cues help us express ourselves more confidently and clearly.
A.Keeping proper eye contact demonstrates focus and consideration.
B.The way you stand or sit can significantly affect how others perceive you.
C.Mastering body language is essential for building strong connections with others.
D.Following are several key aspects of body language to consider in your daily life.
E.However, too little can signal disinterest, while too much may come across as threatening.
F.Using hand gestures can emphasize key points and make conversations more engaging.

Passage 1
(25-26高一下·河南南阳·期末)Organic farming has attracted much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 1 Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.
One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and enrich the soil. 2 The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.
3 For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water.
Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is the lower production than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to promote growth, crops produce less, which makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept. 4
However, organic farming's future looks promising. 5 Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. Governments also support it by increasing research money and eco-friendly agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production.
A.These methods make sure food is healthy.
B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food.
C.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.
D.These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.
E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits.
F.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.
G.Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.

Passage 3
(2026·北京顺义·一模)Organic agriculture is often thought of as green and good for nature. Conventional agriculture, in contrast, is cast as big and bad. 1
A widespread shift to organic would leave billions hungry, researchers predict. 2 Organic output is typically 25 percent lower than conventional farming output. Switching all the world to organic would mean turning 24 percent more natural habitats into agricultural land to meet future demands, doing more harm than good to nature.
Researchers who conclude that organic agriculture could not feed the globe’s growing population also recognize that conventional agriculture can’t carry on as it is, either. 3 In experiments, they are testing integrated approaches that combine the green touch of organic farming with a small amount of chemical fertilizer and strictly targeted chemical treatments applied when needed — an approach known as low-input agriculture.
Studies show that low-input integrated farming is successful for both output and the environment. After an eight-year experiment, scientists reported promising results from multi-year crop rotation (轮作) systems. Crops were switched every two to four years and assessed for output. Output rose as the number of rotations increased. 4 The potential harm to freshwater ecosystems from weed killer was 99.9 percent lower in the low-input corn plots than in the conventional corn plots.
5 Organic farming is important on local scales, but the world won’t ever be fed by just organic. A more realistic goal is to expand organic farmland while putting the rest on a more sustainable footing. For now, research is advancing by deepening our understanding of what eco-friendly farming really means.
A.This strategy also had environmental benefits.
B.So scientists are doubling down on the middle road.
C.Organic fields are an experimental ground for boosting profits.
D.None of this means that people should stop buying organic produce.
E.Therefore, some crops grow better than others under organic conditions.
F.Yet scientists are finding that organic farming is not as green as it seems.
G.Specifically, output is the one crucial feature where organic farming falls short.
【答案】1.F 2.G 3.B 4.A 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章对比有机农业与传统农业的利弊,指出纯有机农业无法养活全球人口,介绍了兼顾产量与环保的低投入综合农业模式,并给出理性发展农业的观点。
1.上文“Organic agriculture is often thought of as green and good for nature. Conventional agriculture, in contrast, is cast as big and bad. (有机农业通常被认为是绿色的,对自然有益。相比之下,传统农业被认为是庞大而糟糕的。)”说明了人们对有机农业和传统农业的普遍看法,下文“A widespread shift to organic would leave billions hungry, researchers predict.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·安徽芜湖·期末)The whole world changes around them: actors, singers, models. athletes and TV personalities. If I go through Instagram, Snapchat or any social media news feed (新闻推送). I get too familiar with their lives.
1 What I can’t see is what their big contribution to the world is other than entertainment.
By idolizing (崇拜) the entertainment industry so much, we sometimes completely forget about the things that are truly important and that are changing our world.
Imagine if the money that every Hollywood actor and director makes went into medical research and pharmaceuticals. It would be so much easier for scientists to diagnose (诊断) diseases and unknown viruses. So if it would benefit the world so much to invest all of our time and attention toward scientists, why don’t we do it? 2
First of all, we like being entertained. Most people might not praise scientists because it’s not something entertainment. People will care more about Brad Pitt’s upcoming new movie, rather than NASA’s most current space exploration that might change the way we live our lives. 3 It’s because we simply like being entertained. It’s easier to care about simple things rather than scientific, complicated ones.
Another reason is that most scientists don’t like being in the spotlight. There are studies that have identified the personality features of people most likely to become scientists. 4 Even if we gave them that much attention, they wouldn’t be so excited to be followed by paparazzi (狗仔) all day or get invited to events every weekend. They’re busy people, which explains why they haven’t attracted the media the same way that performers have.
Therefore, it’s very unlikely that scientists will ever become the “celebrities (名人)” of modern days. Even in the middle of a pandemic (疫情) science is still not as popular as entertainment. 5 Studies have shown that young people are more interested in a scientific career as a result of COVID-19. Maybe that’s the start of the development of a different point of view against science for future generations.
A.That’s not because we’re careless human beings.
B.They’re mostly reserved, quiet and like to have privacy.
C.Scientists seem to be selfless, hard-working and devoted people
D.I have nothing against the entertainment industry and celebrities.
E.However, interest in science has definitely risen since the pandemic began.
F.It seems as if entertainment has become the most important thing that the world cares about.
G.Why don’t we make scientists our new “celebrities,” if they are the ones that deserve it the most?
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·吉林延边·期末)Science is the cornerstone of human progress, and scientific exploration relies on the spirit of curiosity, perseverance and innovation. Every great scientific breakthrough comes from tireless efforts and firm pursuit of truth. 1 .
2 . It drives scientists to observe carefully, think deeply, explore the unknown and put forward new ideas. Newton’s desire to know about falling apples led to the discovery of the law of universal gravitation, which fully shows the unique power of curiosity in promoting scientific progress.
Perseverance is a vital quality for scientific success. The road of scientific exploration is never smooth, but full of failures, setbacks and difficulties. 3 . He spent decades conducting experiments in the fields, facing repeated failures and harsh natural conditions, but he always stuck to his dream of solving the food problem, finally developing high-yield hybrid rice and benefiting millions of people around the world.
Besides, scientific exploration also requires the spirit of innovation and interdisciplinary cooperation. With the continuous development of science and technology, many complex scientific problems can no longer be solved by a single person or a single department. 4 , share research results, complement each other’s strengths and promote the integration of knowledge, thus achieving more major scientific breakthroughs.
The scientific spirit is of great significance to the growth of teenagers. It not only helps us master knowledge better but also cultivates our good qualities such as cautious thinking and sense of responsibility. 5 .
A.Curiosity is the starting point of scientific exploration
B.Yuan Longping is a typical example of perseverance in scientific research

F.Many outstanding scientists have made extraordinary contributions to human progress through lifelong dedication to scientific exploration
G.This article will discuss the key qualities required for scientific exploration and its important significance to individuals and society
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·吉林·期中)As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person.
Einstein learned from making mistakes
1 , someone asked him what he needed. He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencils. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.
2
Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too.
Einstein considered time to be important
He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 3 . He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time.
Einstein liked to joke too
In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 4 !
When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 5 , we should think of him. So, never be discouraged
A.Give students a chance to correct their mistakes by themselves
B.That’s why he never remembered his own phone number
C.If we ever feel like giving up when we have problems
D.Einstein was also very strict with his students
E.When Einstein started to work in America
F.Einstein was also very modest (谦虚的)
G.What a humorous person he is

(25-26高二上·湖南株洲·期中)Getting enough sleep is good for your health, but not everyone can sleep well. To improve this situation, 1 . Here are some cool devices that can make a difference to your sleep.
Sleepwiz Pajamas — Monitoring sleep quality
Scientists in the UK have developed a kind of comfortable smart pajamas called Sleepwiz Pajamas. With fabric sensors inside, 2 . A special technique also makes the sensors suitable for washing. The scientists used a machine-learning model to identify six sleep states including mouth breathing and snoring. The latest version of the pajamas also allows wireless data transfer, so sleep information can be sent to your smartphone or computer.
The Morphee Sleep Aid Device — 3
A sleep device called the Morphee Sleep Aid Device can be your new bedtime companion. It includes over 200 pieces of music to calm the mind. To use it, you turn the dial to choose a program, such as breathing exercises or relaxing music. Then you select the time and pick a soothing male or female voice. Since the device has no screen and doesn’t need an app, 4 .

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·江西南昌·期末)The Digital Doctor: A Double-Edged Sword
In our increasingly connected world, the way we manage our health is changing. Faced with minor illnesses like a persistent cough or headache, many of us now instinctively reach for our smartphones rather than the phone to book a doctor’s appointment. 1 . This immediate access to a vast encyclopedia (百科全书) of medical knowledge makes healthcare appear more accessible than ever before.
2 . The condition, known as “cyberchondria”, describes a state of health anxiety caused by excessive online searching. The process often works like this: an individual researches a common symptom, only to find it could be linked to a severe illness. This can lead to self-misdiagnosis (自我误诊) and intense, unnecessary worry. 3 . They advise the initial step in treatment is to drastically (极大地) reduce the patients’ internet using.
While the web holds a wealth of information, it critically lacks professional judgment. A face-to-face consultation (就诊) with a doctor provides not just a diagnosis, but also context, reassurance, and a tailored treatment plan. But a trend makes doctors feel challenged. They sometimes find patients arriving with printouts or descriptions of vague conditions they have self-diagnosed. 4 .
However, the internet is not solely a disruptive (破坏性的) force. As Professor Sue Ziebland from the University of Oxford has found through her research, online information is becoming a common part of patient-doctor conversations. 5 . This collaborative approach can lead to more informed discussions. Ultimately, it seems that while the virtual world can offer a helpful dose of information, the human medical expert remains irreplaceable for their experience and empathetic care.
A.Some apps even enable remote patient monitoring.
B.It can make the consultation process more complex.
C.Hence, building trusted medical websites is essential.
D.Online resources offer instant guidance on all health issues.
E.Experts find many such patients spend too much time online.
F.However, this convenience comes with a significant disadvantage.
G.Therefore, doctors now often discuss online findings with patients.
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·广西贺州·期末)Today, screens have become an inseparable part of human life. 1 While technology offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can negatively impact their health. If you are parents, the following are a number of beneficial tips that can help keep your children active and healthy in the digital world.
Setting very clear rules for screen time is the first step. Regardless of age, it is important for children to have consistent limits on it daily. Make sure to spell these limits out loud and clear for children, explaining to them why such limits have been set in place. 2
It is also very important to balance screen time with outdoor play and exercise. 3 As you know, interest is the best teacher. And regular exercise helps them develop the motor skills of the body, builds strength, and keeps them at a healthy weight.
4 For example, the interactive games get kids up and moving around through dancing or sports-type video games. Setting activity challenges is also helpful. During screen time, challenge your children by taking breaks and doing brief physical activities. Challenge them to ten jumping jacks, running on the spot, or stretching every 30 minutes.
Many children tend to imitate(模仿)their parents’ behavior. Therefore, the first step toward developing good screen habits involves being a role model. 5 Besides, make it a point to discuss media use openly with your children to guide them effectively.
A.Parents and children should establish a good relationship.
B.If necessary, carry out this with the help of parental control tools.
C.Separating study time from play time is the most suitable for them.
D.Limit your own screen time and engage in the face-to-face interactions.
E.Motivate your children to get involved in different sports that they enjoy.
F.From study to play, children are increasingly exposed to electronic devices.
G.Combining screen time with physical activities can help engage children more.

(26-27高二上·全国·课后作业)China is building the world’s largest national park system. In 2021, it established its first national park. To date, China has opened five national parks to the public, covering a total of 57 million acres. These parks serve as vital habitats for rare animals such as the Giant Panda and Asian Elephant. 1
These parks are not just about ecological protection. 2 Besides, they are attracting tourists to experience the country’s rich natural diversity. Domestic tourists are increasingly drawn to China’s wilderness destinations, while foreigners have their own preference. 3 However, this trend will shift as China expands its national park system, predicting that the country will soon become a global hotspot for nature-based tourism.
Han Mei, from one of the leading tour companies, points out that China’s late start in building national parks is actually an advantage. “While the United States pioneered the Yellowstone model, preserving vast wilderness areas, it also made significant missteps,” Han explains. One key shortcoming was fencing off land and forcibly removing the local original inhabitants to create a false impression of “untouched” wilderness. 4 By building a relationship between local communities and wildlife conservation, China can create a national park system that integrates cultural vitality with the care for nature,” she adds.
That is undoubtedly a grand goal. 5 But it fits with China’s track record of completing remarkable projects, from the world’s largest dam to the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge and the high-speed rail network. Now, China is devoting its vast resources and expertise to protecting and showcasing its extraordinary natural scenery.
A.By 2035 it will have 49 parks covering 272 million acres.
B.The US national park system has a history of over 150 years.
C.Many countries have learned from China’s construction experience.
D.Building this vast national park system in 14 years is a great project.
E.They are also preserving cultural heritage and boosting local economies.
F.In contrast, China has the opportunity to develop a more sustainable approach.
G.Most international visitors still focus on China’s historic cities like Beijing and Shanghai.
Passage 2
(25-26高二上·海南儋州·期末)Nature comforts our stressed-out souls. We know that nature is the best prescription, and new research suggests we can gain benefits while visiting parks. 1 The study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research found that spending 20 minutes in a city park can make you happier, regardless of whether you use that time to exercise or not.
“In general, we found park visitors reported an improvement in emotional well-being after the park visit,” the study’s lead author, Professor Hon K. Yuen at the University of Alabama at Birmingham said in a statement. “ 2 Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well-being.”
For the study, 94 adults visited three city parks in Mountain Brook, Alabama. 3 They also completed a questionnaire about their subjective well-being before and after their visit. A visit of between 20 and 25 minutes showed the best results, with a roughly 64% increase in the participants’ self-reported well-being, even if they didn’t move a great deal in the park. 4
The study group was truly small, as the study’s co-author and another UAB professor, Gavin Jenkins, acknowledged. 5 The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the decrease of these spaces.
A.The length of their physical activity was tracked.
B.You usually visit a small green space in your neighborhood.
C.However, its findings pointed out the importance of city parks.
D.If you want to feel happier, you just need to exercise for 20 minutes in a park.
E.The best part of it is that you needn’t visit a national park or go far out of your way.
F.This means people can benefit from visiting a nearby park, regardless of physical ability.
G.But we didn’t find levels of physical activity are linked to improved emotional well-being.
Passage 3
(24-25高二下·重庆九龙坡·期末)Cities need nature to stay healthy. 1 Known as the “lungs of a city”, they not only beautify urban areas but also provide environment health, social, and economic benefits. These spaces play a key role in improving the quality of life for city residents.
Urban parks protect the environment.
Trees absorb harmful gases like carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, reducing air pollution. They also provide shade, which lowers temperatures during hot summers. For example, studies show parks can reduce the “heat island” effect caused by roads and buildings, cooling nearby areas by up to 7℃. 2
Parks improve public health.
They offer spaces for jogging, cycling, and other exercises, encouraging physical activity. Spending time in nature also reduces stress and improves mental health. Research shows people who visit parks regularly have lower risks of being overweight and heart disease. 3 They are vital for healthy living.
4
People from different backgrounds gather here to relax and connect. Children make friends on playgrounds, while cultural festivals in picnic areas unite neighbors. As experts say, “Parks break down social barriers and create shared joy.” These interactions build a sense of belonging in crowded cities.
Parks greatly benefit local economies.
Homes near parks often have higher values, attracting families and investors. 5 Parks also draw tourists, boosting income for hotels, and restaurants.
A.Clearly, parks are not just for fun.
B.Parks strengthen community connections.
C.Investing in parks creates jobs and supports businesses.
D.Urban parks are essential green spaces in modern cities.
E.This makes parks critical for cities facing climate challenges.
F.Maintaining green spaces is wise for cities aiming for growth.
G.Nearby shops and cafes see more customers, especially on weekends.

Passage 1
(25-26高二下·江西·期末)Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and your facial expressions all tell a story that can be read immediately. By adopting the following habits, you can project confidence, openness, and charm with your nonverbal cues.
1
When you are truly engaged in a movie or a game, you lean forward. The same applies to conversation. Slightly leaning your upper body toward the speaker is a loud nonverbal cue that says, “I am interested in what you are saying.” 2 Just be mindful of personal space, because a deep lean can feel like impoliteness.
Find the eye contact “sweet spot”.
3 However, there is a fine line between “engaged” and “uncomfortable”. Unbroken staring can cause a fight-or-flight response in others. To avoid this, try the 50/70 rule: maintain eye contact for 50% of the time while you are speaking and maintain eye contact for 70% of the time while you are listening.
Adopt an open posture.
When you cross your arms or legs, you are physically protecting your vital organs. 4 To appear more approachable, keep your chest open. Let your arms hang relaxed at your sides and angle your body toward the person you are speaking with.
Subtly (巧妙地) mirror their movements.
Have you ever noticed that when you are really clicking with someone, you naturally start doing the same things they are? This is called mirroring, and it creates an unconscious sense of familiarity and trust. You can intentionally use this by reflecting your conversation partner’s posture or gestures. The warning: The key word is subtle. 5
A.Lean in to listen.
B.Be an active observer with a deep lean in.
C.This closes the physical distance and builds connection.
D.You want to mirror their energy, not copy their every move.
E.Looking someone in the eye conveys confidence and engagement.
F.Mirroring can make the interaction more genuine when done frequently.
G.While comfortable, this primitive defensive position signals to others that you are closed off.
Passage 2
(25-26高二下·河南·期末)At its most basic level, laughter affects our physical body. It enables us to take in more oxygenated air and stimulate our lungs. 1 This leads to several benefits.
Increases heart health
As we laugh at funny events, our cardiac (心脏的) health improves. Laughter provides this benefit by increasing our heart rate and lowering our blood pressure. 2 One study found that people who rarely or never laughed were 1.21 times more likely to have heart disease than those who laughed daily. This helps strengthen the benefits of humour on heart health.
Reduces physical pain
Let’s say we have a severe headache but are watching an extremely funny show. As we watch and laugh, we may become at least somewhat distracted from the headache and discomfort. 3 Established mechanisms are operating internally to enhance our ability to resist pain. Naturally occurring hormones called endorphins, for example, get to work. Because we’re laughing up a storm, our body produces these natural painkillers.
4
Laughing offers another physical benefit — it can help us sleep better. In one small-scale study, residents at a long-term care hospital engaged in 40-minute laughter therapy sessions twice a week for four weeks. Their sleep quality improved during this time, as did their feelings of depression. Combining laughter with yoga, called laughing yoga, has also been found to improve sleep quality and help us fall asleep faster. This form of yoga involves movements that make us want to laugh.
Boosts immunity
Overall, extensive laughter supports the immune system, which makes us more resistant to disease. By laughing, we increase antibody-producing cells and enhance the effectiveness of T cells in our body. 5 Physicians and mental health professionals can use laughter to help patients achieve positive health outcomes.
A.Improves sleep.
B.Improves social communication.
C.Laughter helps reduce daily stress.
D.This is much like how our body responds to exercise.
E.These tiny things act like a defense army to fight illness.
F.But the distraction alone isn’t what reduces our pain perception.
G.Moments of loud laughter also relieve tension in our muscles.
Passage 3
(25-26高二下·云南·期中)Mastering Body Language: The Key to Effective Communication
Effective communication goes beyond words. Body language plays a crucial role in conveying messages, emotions, and intentions. Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one’s ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly. 1
1. Posture and Confidence
2 Good posture communicates confidence and openness. Standing tall with shoulders back signals self-assurance, while lowering your head can imply insecurity or disinterest. A confident posture invites engagement and helps establish authority in both professional and social settings.
2. Eye Contact and Connection
Eye contact is one of the most powerful non-verbal cues. Maintaining appropriate eye contact shows attentiveness and respect. 3 Striking the right balance helps to build trust and fosters a sense of connection, making the interaction feel more personal and sincere.
3. Gestures and Expression
Gestures and facial expressions complement verbal communication and provide additional context. 4 Smiling, nodding, or using open palms creates a friendly, approachable atmosphere. On the other hand, crossed arms or a tense facial expression may unintentionally communicate defensiveness or discomfort.
In conclusion, mastering body language is crucial for effective communication. 5 Ultimately, these non-verbal cues help us express ourselves more confidently and clearly.
A.Keeping proper eye contact demonstrates focus and consideration.
B.The way you stand or sit can significantly affect how others perceive you.
C.Mastering body language is essential for building strong connections with others.
D.Following are several key aspects of body language to consider in your daily life.
E.However, too little can signal disinterest, while too much may come across as threatening.
F.Using hand gestures can emphasize key points and make conversations more engaging.
G.By being mindful of posture, eye contact, and gestures, we can improve our communication skills.

Passage 1
(25-26高一下·河南南阳·期末)Organic farming has attracted much attention as people grow more concerned about food safety and environmental protection. Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on fertilizers and pesticides, organic farming follows strict guidelines and approaches to keep soil healthy, protect biodiversity, and avoid harmful chemicals. 1 Furthermore, they also help keep the environment in good condition in the long run.
One important rule of organic farming is taking care of soil. Organic farmers use natural methods like growing different crops in the same area over time to stop pests from building up and enrich the soil. 2 The materials, made from rotted (腐烂的) plant and animal waste, add important nutrients (养分) to soil and help good tiny organisms grow.
3 For example, organic farms are homes to wild animals such as birds, insects and small mammals. Not using man-made pesticides protects pollinators like bees, which is very important for plants to produce seeds (种子). In addition, organic methods reduce water pollution. No harmful chemicals flow into rivers, lakes or underground water.
Despite its benefits, organic farming has problems too. A major issue is the lower production than conventional farming. Without fertilizers to promote growth, crops produce less, which makes organic food more expensive. Moreover, organic certification (认证) costs a lot and takes time, making it hard for small-scale farmers to accept. 4
However, organic farming's future looks promising. 5 Besides, consumer awareness and demand for organic products grow fast. Governments also support it by increasing research money and eco-friendly agriculture policies. As more recognize its benefits, organic farming will play a bigger role in global food production.
A.These methods make sure food is healthy.
B.Organic farming works with nature to produce food.
C.Organic farming also benefits biodiversity and the environment.
D.These challenges limit its development, even as the demand rises.
E.Many consumers pay more for organic products for health benefits.
F.Another natural thing to improve soil in organic farming is farm wastes.
G.Advances in techniques, like better soil management, increase crop production.
Passage 2
(2026·辽宁沈阳·三模)Agriculture, as one of the oldest activities of human beings, has been shaping the development of civilization. 1 It supplies not only food but also raw materials for countless industries, making it impossible for society to move forward without its support.
Thousands of years ago, ancient humans began to master basic farming skills. They gave up the life of hunting and gathering, and started to grow crops and raise livestock on fixed land. 2 This shift laid the foundation for the appearance of early villages and cities.
With time going by, traditional farming gradually showed its limitations. It relied heavily on natural conditions and required a huge amount of physical labor. 3 The application of modern technology has completely changed this backward situation.
4 Farmers adopt eco-friendly methods to grow crops, avoiding the overuse of pesticides and fertilizers, which helps keep the soil fertile, protects biodiversity in the long run and creates a win-win situation for both nature and humans.
What’s more, respecting agriculture and cherishing food is our responsibility to every farmer and the whole society. Modern agriculture connects closely with our daily life. Every piece of farm produce is the result of farmers’ careful care. 5
A.This traditional way of farming was rather inefficient.
B.In fact, it holds an unchangeable key position in human life.
C.That’s why we should never take abundant food for granted.
D.Such a lifestyle change totally transformed their living patterns.
E.Many people fail to realize the importance of farming development.
F.Nowadays, green and sustainable agriculture has become the main developing trend worldwide.
G.Cutting-edge technology and modern methods dramatically contradict what the farmers have already adopted.
Passage 3
(2026·北京顺义·一模)Organic agriculture is often thought of as green and good for nature. Conventional agriculture, in contrast, is cast as big and bad. 1
A widespread shift to organic would leave billions hungry, researchers predict. 2 Organic output is typically 25 percent lower than conventional farming output. Switching all the world to organic would mean turning 24 percent more natural habitats into agricultural land to meet future demands, doing more harm than good to nature.
Researchers who conclude that organic agriculture could not feed the globe’s growing population also recognize that conventional agriculture can’t carry on as it is, either. 3 In experiments, they are testing integrated approaches that combine the green touch of organic farming with a small amount of chemical fertilizer and strictly targeted chemical treatments applied when needed — an approach known as low-input agriculture.
Studies show that low-input integrated farming is successful for both output and the environment. After an eight-year experiment, scientists reported promising results from multi-year crop rotation (轮作) systems. Crops were switched every two to four years and assessed for output. Output rose as the number of rotations increased. 4 The potential harm to freshwater ecosystems from weed killer was 99.9 percent lower in the low-input corn plots than in the conventional corn plots.
5 Organic farming is important on local scales, but the world won’t ever be fed by just organic. A more realistic goal is to expand organic farmland while putting the rest on a more sustainable footing. For now, research is advancing by deepening our understanding of what eco-friendly farming really means.
A.This strategy also had environmental benefits.
B.So scientists are doubling down on the middle road.
C.Organic fields are an experimental ground for boosting profits.
D.None of this means that people should stop buying organic produce.
E.Therefore, some crops grow better than others under organic conditions.
F.Yet scientists are finding that organic farming is not as green as it seems.
G.Specifically, output is the one crucial feature where organic farming falls short.
