Passage 1
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)We all feel fear sometimes. When facing a challenge, our minds often tell us to stay safe. But what if we saw fear not as a stop sign, but as a source of energy? Expert Zoe Carroll, a strategy coach, works with athletes and teaches them to say, “Here comes the energy” instead of “Here come the nerves.” This simple 1 helps them see their feelings as fuel. It’s natural to want to hide in our comfort zone and think, “Why did I 2 for this?!” However, real growth happens when we feel the fear and do it 3 .
Carroll says our fear system often treats everything as life or 4 . “Fear is just information,” she explains. But if we lack experience, like giving a first speech or going to the gym after years, fear warns us of potential 5 : embarrassment or failure. By taking action, we 6 these information gaps. We learn the situation isn’t as 7 as our body feared. Every time we face a fear, we prove our 8 . Even if things don’t go perfectly, we realize we survived. We learn and 9 from the experience. Think about the good things in your life — joining a club, making new friends, trying a difficult class. These often require a 10 of faith. Carroll suggests setting personal markers for 11 . For a recent triathlon, her goal wasn’t a fast time, but to 12 the experience. This made it feel more achievable.
But how do we know if a challenge is manageable or too much? I thought speaking to a thousand people would be impossible for me. Carroll 13 . She asked, “What’s the worst that could happen? How different is it from speaking to a hundred?” I had no good answer. It was a 14 : maybe I am capable of more than I think.
What we often see as too big a 15 usually isn’t. We just need to plan the steps to get there.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)It’s believed that clever people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, 1 , are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline. Here are the three most common 2 language learners make and how to correct them.
Not listening enough
There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning 3 a “silent period“. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be 4 to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the 5 languages, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.
A single method
Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat practice in a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to 6 a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use 7 methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the 8 can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that 9 the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking ). For self-study, try a 10 of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps. 376
It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of 11 or unsafety hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too 12 making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would 13 them.
The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors 14 they become deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Self-confidence: one’s belief that they can meet all the demands of a task. Some people are born with it, and everyone else is out of 1 , right? Wrong! Self-confidence is not something people are born with, like their height or hair color. It’s a skill that anyone can start 2 today.
One simple self-confidence builder is 3 self-talk. What you say to yourself 4 how you feel about yourself. Telling yourself “I can’t do anything right” or asking “Why did I even try?” could ruin you. Instead, if you get a bad grade on a test, try saying “I’ll do better next time.” Rather than focusing on your failure, 5 ways that you can improve, and try again.
Another way to 6 your confidence is to believe in yourself. Studies show that believing you can do something can increase your chance of success. If you put in the work to learn how to do something, believe in your ability. Don’t let 7 steal your energy and motivation away.
One of the ugliest enemies of self-confidence is 8 yourself to others. Thinking that you are better than other people won’t give you confidence. 9 , it will make you proud. And thinking you are worse than others won’t make you 10 ; it will fill you with envy. Fight back by counting your blessings. Keep a journal and write down all the things that you’re 11 for.
Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence. You might have a(n) 12 for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it? Even if you fail, leaving your 13 zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence!
Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness 14 you that you can make a difference in the world. When you make others feel good, you, 15 , feel good about yourself.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Who Cooks the Most in Your Home?
Family holiday meals often involve lots of time spent bent over cutting boards, peeking in the oven and basting meats. There’s often a 1 left to clean up at the end.
Who 2 most of these duties? Gallup and Cookpad conducted a worldwide survey to find out. Data from their survey of trends in home cooking show that in almost every country in the world, women cooked more than men. In 2022, women made, on average, close to nine meals a week, while men cooked about four.
The 3 , of course, leaves many women frustrated.
Emily Kephart, a 41-year-old mother of two, says she enjoyed being in 4 of food when it was just her and her husband, but having kids changed the equation (平衡局面). “Now we have two children and two full-time jobs and I still do 100% of the grocery shopping and meal planning, and about 75% of the actual cooking or food preparation,” she says.
While other duties are divided pretty 5 , Kephart says, she still gets annoyed with her spouse: “When I’m away or have other plans, more often than not my husband gets the ‘ 6 ’ ticket— they order pizza or eat some freezer chicken nuggets. Why does he get the free dinner pass?”
The only country where men cook more meals than women, the survey finds, is Italy. This, several Italian-American readers say, 7 them not one bit.
“For us Italians, knowing and creating good food is a matter of extreme 8 ,” writes Gabrielle DiFonzo. “Food is a very important part of our culture and heritage. For men, cooking is seen as a manly activity,” she writes.
Second generation Italian-American Olivia Box spent last year in Italy, and noticed that her male cousins were always cooking and talking about food. “Cooking for Italians is not a chore (苦差事) ; it is a part of their 9 ,” Box says.
While women tend to cook more than men in the U.S., some men are starting to 10 the art and science of cooking as a hobby to be proud of. Lisa Kulisek from Chicago says her kids prefer her husband’s cooking. When they met, he couldn’t cook, so she taught him some 11 . He has since taught himself more about the science of cooking and 12 it.
Kuliseck hopes more men follow her husband’s 13 : “Maybe we just have to 14 the men who are already cooking to do it more often. They might find it a great way to deal with stress while reducing their partner’s stress and 15 a great skill for their kids.”

Passage 5
(24-25高一上·上海·阶段检测)Most high schools in the United States begin the school day early, often before the first rays of the sun peek over the horizon. The average start times 1 state by state from 7:40 am (Louisiana) to 8:33 a. m. (Alaska). For districts that are considering a later start, there are powerful statements from 2 associations. William E. Kobler, a physician and AMA (American Medical Association) board member stated, “We believe delaying school start times will 3 students get enough sleep, and that it will improve the overall mental and physical health of our nation’s young people.” 4 , there are several problems in delaying high school start times.
Transportation Concerns:
Early start times were 5 in order for school districts to provide bus transportation using the same buses for elementary and high school students. Later start time for high schools could require 6 buses or earlier elementary school start times.
Parental Supervision:
In a delayed start, there may be parents of high school students who will be 7 to drive students to school and get to work on time. This 8 would mean high school students would have the responsibility of getting themselves ready for school. If elementary schools start earlier, the dismissal (解散) time will be earlier as well, and that may 9 more hours of after-school daycare.
Sports or Activities:
For students who participate in sports or other activities, a delayed start will mean these activities will end several hours after school. The later hours could 10 the time for study, homework, and social activities. Coordination (协调) of sports schedules with other schools in area leagues or divisions would be 11 unless all other participating schools also delayed sports schedules. Community use of school 12 would be delayed as well.
Employment:
Many students work to save money for college or another career-related goal. Employers of teens would have to 13 the work schedules for students if school dismissal times were to change. If elementary schools begin earlier, there would be a need to 14 afterschool daycare opportunities. High school students, however would not be 15 to work in a daycare for the first hour or two.
Any move to start school later will require great changes in daily schedules. As a result, school administrators should think twice before taking steps.

Passage 1
(25-26高一上·上海徐汇·期中)After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in books from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new 1 : “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
In the past, students understood that hard work was not 2 ; an A demanded great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the 3 of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In a recent survey, 4 , two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for showing up at (most) classes.
The Gen Z are not at fault. It’s the result of a 5 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck found praising kids for their abilities weakened their flexibility and led to a (n) 6 mindset, making them more likely to get discouraged or give up when they encountered setbacks. However, a shift in praise from intelligence to effort could cultivate a developed mindset and 7 learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, 8 books and popular TED talks.
The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from 9 effort to treating it as an end-in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, 10 being a good person. What worries me most is that it can motivate people to 11 bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A textbook example is burning the midnight oil rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents 12 kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain but to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your 13 . A’s are not granted for effort itself; they’re 14 through mastery of the material. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you 15 .

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Regular physical activity is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and this is particularly true for students who are still growing and developing. Here’s a look at some of the benefits that come with 1 sports and exercise.
One of the most obvious benefits of students participating in sports is the improvement in 2 health. Regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight, 3 the risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases, and strengthen the cardiovascular system. Students who are physically active often report having more energy.
Another advantage is the 4 impact on mental health. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress and 5 which are common issues among students 6 academic pressure. Physical activity releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones, which can 7 mood and overall mental well-being.
Participating in team sports can also enhance 8 skills. Students learn the importance of teamwork, communication, and leadership. These skills are not only valuable on the playing field but also in the classroom and later in the 9 world.
Physical activity is also linked to better academic performance. Studies have shown that students who exercise 10 tend to have improved concentration, memory, and cognitive function. This can lead to better 11 achievements and a more successful educational experience.
Engaging in sports can also help students develop important life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and time management. These traits are essential for setting and achieving 12 , both in sports and in personal aspects of life.
13 , regular physical activity can play a crucial role in building self-confidence and self-esteem. As students master new skills and see improvements in their performance, they gain a sense of 14 that can boost their self-worth. This increased confidence can translate into other areas of their lives, making them more likely to take on new challenges and pursue their dreams with 15 .

(25-26高一上·上海青浦·期中)How You Search the Internet Can Strengthen Your Beliefs
People’s views are becoming more and more polarized (两极化), with “echo chambers (信息茧房)” — social bubbles that strengthen existing beliefs — worsening disagreements. This polarization (两极化) is not 1 to political opinions; it also covers everyday topics, from climate change to vaccination.
And social media is not the only 2 contributing to it, according to a recent study 3 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. It turns out that people use search engines in ways that 4 their long-held beliefs, worsening polarization. The researchers suggest that a simple 5 to search algorithms (搜索算法) could help provide a wider variety of perspectives.
Online participants were asked to rate their beliefs on six topics, including nuclear energy and caffeine’s health effects. They then 6 search terms (搜索关键词) to learn more about each topic. The researchers 7 the range of the terms and found that between 9 and 34 percent (depending on the topic) were “narrow”. 8 , when researching the health effects of caffeine, one participant used “caffeine negative effects”, whereas others used “benefits of caffeine”.
These narrow terms tended to 9 participants’ existing beliefs, and generally less than 10 percent did this knowingly. “People often pick search terms that 10 what they believe, without realizing it,” says Eugenia Leung of Tulane University’s business school, who led the study. “Search algorithms are designed to give the most 11 answers for whatever we type, which 12 to support what we already thought.” 13 , this pattern worked when participants used ChatGPT and Bing for searches assisted by artificial intelligence.
When the researchers randomly (随机地) 14 participants to view different results, they saw those results affect people’s opinions and even behavior. For instance, participants who saw search results using “nuclear energy is good” held a more positive view about nuclear energy afterward than those using “nuclear energy is bad”. People who saw results using “caffeine health benefits”, rather than “ 15 ”, were more likely to choose a caffeinated drink afterward.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Between 1980 and 2019, the world’s most developed countries saw their birth rates decline from 1.85 to 1.53 per woman. Analyzed across all rich countries, birth rates among those where childcare is fully 1 are as low as those where parents pay expensive fees — the link between births and total spending on family-friendly policies is 2 . This often causes head-scratching, but it should not 3 , the decision on whether to have children, and how many if so, turned out to be about far more than money. Of course, family-friendly policies can have other positive impacts on individuals and on society. They make it easier for those who have already had children to 4 family and work. They ease child poverty. But when it comes to the heavy lifting on birth rates, 5 is more powerful than policy.
There are a number of different but related 6 at play. First is the rapid rise of so-called helicopter parenting. The realization that a comfortable life has become impossible to acquire without a top-quality education has sparked intense competition between 7 . They feel pressured to invest huge amounts of time and effort into 8 their kids’ upbringing. In 1965, mothers of young children in developed countries spent an average of an hour a day doing activities with their kids. By 2018 that had risen to three hours, and in Korea approaching four. Korea’s fertility rate (生育率) has dropped to 0.72, while in France, where parenting is much less 9 , birth rates have held up well and now stand at 1.8.
The second big reason is changing priorities for young adults. A study last year by Lyman Stone, an economist, shows that the priority that most 10 birth rates among young women is the desire to grow as a person and to focus on their career. 11 over the demands of helicopter parenting also rank high. Childcare costs come in at a lowly 14th place.
Finally, and arguably most importantly, the share of young adults in the west living as a couple is in decline. With women increasingly able to support themselves financially, one traditional reason for 12 has faded away. This helps explain why the most recent downward trend in births has been driven by a(n) 13 in the number of young people deciding not to have any child at all.
Birth rates in developed countries look virtually unlikely to return to replacement level (生育更替的正常水平) any time soon. If they 14 do so, it will most likely be due to broad social and cultural changes, not policy. There’s nothing wrong with governments pursuing family-friendly packages for other reasons, but if they’re worrying about ageing and shrinking populations, then they need to find other 15 .

Like most other well affordable modern luxuries though, there are hidden 3 . And it’s increasingly harder to pretend we couldn’t see them.
A headline in the Washington Post read, “Restaurants are barely 4 . Delivery apps will kill them.” Many other articles have explored the predatory (压榨他人的) sign-up tactics (策略) and high commissions (佣金) and fees taken by these tech companies.
But the most apparent impact is on human lives. Delivery riders have been 5 in accidents while trying to complete their orders. These deaths are part of a larger narrative about poor working 6 for riders.
One friend said to me, “I can’t 7 the thought of someone dying delivering me a dessert.” That was it. I 8 the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering on a whim (一时兴起), now I either cook something good or get takeaway from a place in walking or driving distance.
This approach has saved me a lot of money. As with a lot of online shopping, I’d been ordering food mindlessly, giving only a brief thought to its price and value. Cooking is almost always 9 and so is old-school takeaway.
All of these changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that so many people are burned out, stressed or attracted by 10 . With delivery, I didn’t have to think about dinner until the last minute, like after I finished work or returned from the gym. By this time, I was already 11 , and the shops were all closed.
Having to plan meals again actually made my life less 12 . Some days it’s a good incentive to stop working earlier, to close my laptop and go to the shops, walk to the pizza place, or start chopping onions.
Cooking is one of those activities that require both of your hands and all your 13 . Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to, well, go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.
The process has made me think about how a lot of technological 14 do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had 15 for things far less nourishing (有营养的).

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Have you ever shouted, “The rent is too high”? Shaking the wall and finding hidden disgusting bugs? You’re not alone. The ancient Romans experienced the same 1 with their apartments. From mean landlords to sanitation (卫生) problems, pests to smells, Roman urban living was no walk in the park.
Even in the very early days of Rome, people were crowded together in uncomfortable quarters. This collection of animals of every kind mixed together made life 2 for common citizens. And the close contact 3 diseases.
Roman rented residences were called insulae, or islands, because they occupied whole blocks, with the roads flowing around them like water around an island. The insulae, often 4 six to eight apartment blocks built around a staircase and central courtyard, housed poor workers who couldn’t 5 a traditional domus, or private house.
By the fourth century A.D., there were around 45,000 insulae in Rome, as opposed to fewer than 2,000 private homes. Many people were _ 6 into their quarters. Apartments on the lower floor would be the easiest for entry and exit, and therefore belong to the 7 renters — while unfortunate individuals were thrown on higher floors in tiny rooms.
Though made of concrete brick, insulae were usually weakly built, thanks to poor craftsmanship and little funding. They usually collapsed and killed passers-by. 8 , emperors 9 how high landlords could construct insulae. The maximum building height was 60 feet.
According to the law, then, builders were supposed to make walls at least an inch and a half thick, so as to ensure the 10 of the building. However, it didn’t work so well, especially since building codes were 11 by the landlords in order to save on the construction cost, and most renters were too poor to charge the landlords. Therefore, life-threatening accidents usually happened. Even if insulae didn’t fall down, they could be so 12 as to be washed away in a flood. That’s about the only time their inhabitants would 13 clean natural water, since there was rarely in-home plumbing (水管)in an apartment.
What’s more, the insulae caught fire frequently, leaving Rome with a vicious (恶性的) 14 of houses burning down and collapsing, then immediate reconstruction and fire once more. Indeed, rather than being in nature’s hands, some collapses were 15 since the greedy landlords keep on tearing down the existing insulae and replacing them with higher and larger monsters in pursuit of more rents.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)The people of the Makah Nation have lived on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula for thousands of years. They call themselves Kwi-dich-cha-at, which 1 “people who live by rocks and seagulls.” The shorter name of Makah, given to them by neighboring Native American peoples, means “generous with food.”
Before the white settlers arrived in the American Northwest, the Makah hunted gray and humpback whales from canoes made from the western red cedar tree. Whales 2 meat, blubber (鲸脂), and bone for food, oil, and utensils. The Makah enjoyed a lively trade in whale products with other Native Americans and later with an intensity and efficiency that quickly 3 the numbers of these creatures. The Makah relationship to the whales, on the other hand, was as much 4 as material. Whales and whaling were 5 in their songs and dances. Images of whales were 6 into blankets and baskets and carved in stone and wood. By the 1920s, with local whales on the brink (边缘) of 7 , the Makah stopped hunting them altogether.
Through 8 preservation measures, whales returned to the waters off the Olympic Peninsula soon. In the 1970s, archeologists (考古学家) discovered many objects that confirmed the long and significant relationship between the Makah and whales. This awareness 9 a cultural resurgence (复兴) that included a focus on traditional foods and the health problems that some people linked to changes in the Makah diet, especially the 10 of sea mammal meat from it.
Eventually, the Makah decided to resume hunting whales. 11 their plans faced strong opposition from different groups, they cited an 1885 treaty (条约) signed with the US government that 12 the right to continue this practice. After years of planning, the Makah scheduled the first hunt for the late fall of 1998. They succeeded in bringing in a gray whale about six months later. Today the Makah hunt whales in the 13 way. Divers enter the water and tie the killed whale’s jaws shut to prevent the animal from sinking. The whales are finally towed to shore and cut into pieces 14 traditional rituals (仪式). The blubber and meat is distributed among Makah families. No part of the whale can be sold 15 , although artifacts that Makah carvers make from bones are often available for purchase.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Shop Online or Stand in Line?
If you think shopping online is more eco-friendly than driving to a store to pick up your groceries, think again. A recent study on the environmental impact of shopping online versus brick-and-mortar (实体店) found that 1 shopping can be up to 60% more environmentally sustainable than online shopping. If you’re wondering why, here are some answers.
Online items typically require 2 containers or plastic to ship them safely. They are also likely to come from different distribution centres. According to experts, these two factors 3 higher greenhouse gas emissions per item. In fact, compared with those generated by the plastic or paper bag shoppers typically bring home, 4 for online orders can create five times more emissions. Think about all of those boxes, labels, bubble wrap and air pillows you need to 5 after your online purchases have been delivered, some of which are not recyclable.
Buyer 6 is another reason. When purchasing online — even if they do it frequently — many people buy only a few items whereas when shopping in store, they 7 to bulk buy (大量购买). By not driving to a store every day, they produce less greenhouse emissions than the delivery vans travelling to and from distribution centres and multiple drop-off addresses. 8 , when people go to malls or shopping streets, they often make multiple stops. Emissions are thus 9 since the emission-output is spread out over multiple purchases.
A further significant impact on the environment caused by vehicle emissions is the 10 of returned products purchased online: 40% compared to 7% bought in store. Someone in a vehicle has to take them back.
In the future, this may 11 . Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, announced its commitment to making the company more 12 and carbon-neutral (碳中和) by 2040. To help reach this target, it started by buying 100,000 new electric delivery vehicles (thousands of which are already on the road) and it plans to have them all 13 by 2030.
Of course, this holds true in countries where people mostly drive, so it really 14 the country and its consumer behaviour. Nevertheless, every time we shop, there is an impact. 15 , when you’re thinking about how convenient it is to purchase that one item online, take a moment to consider the carbon footprint of doing so.

Passage 5
(24-25高一上·上海·期中)Why the Color Green Makes Us Feel Good
Scientists have revealed a new theory into why the color green makes us feel good. It is already well known that being out in nature is good for a person’s mental health. But now, a new study published in the British Ecological Society 1 a new theory for this called the “greenery hypothesis (假说).” They suggest that our need for green spaces 2 evolution.
The researchers suggest that when greenery disappears during times of drought, it triggers a signal in humans for environmental degradation (恶化). This can lead to 3 psychological response, and even lead to feelings of depression.
4 , when greenery returns, the researchers report that it triggers a positive mental response, which further encourages them to 5 positive activities, like searching for food.
“These psycho-physiological 6 must be crucial for survival during environmental fluctuations (波动) that humans have experienced in evolutionary adaptive environments,” a summary of the study reports. “However, in modern urbanized societies with limited greenery, this psychological system may lead to non-adaptive negative effects, such as increased stress and depression, creating a 7 between our evolutionary past and current cultural evolution.
This hypothesis can provide valuable insights into understanding how humans psychologically respond to nature exposure, with implications for 8 such as urban planning, biodiversity conservation, etc.
The scientists created this new hypothesis by bringing together previous research into the 9 of nature on humans. And from this, they gather that ongoing loss of green spaces, 10 in urban environments, could have severe impacts on human health and well-being.
They note that restoring natural environments in urban areas should be a matter of priority in order to 11 “mass psychological health problems in contemporary society.” They hope that the hypothesis outlined in the study provides a framework for improving conservation efforts and prioritizing green environments in urban areas. They also emphasize how nature and greenery must be 12 for human well-being.
The greenery hypothesis also notes that humans are more likely to find a place beautiful or pleasing to look at if there is greenery. This is even more likely if a person is more used to urban environments that have a 13 amount of nature around.
“Our proposed hypothesis states that humans have adapted to periodic severe 14 and re-watering cycles by developing both negative and positive psychological responses to the absence or 15 of greenery within the landscape as hints to optimize their own behavioral activities.” the authors write in the study.

(24-25高一上·上海·期中)Returning to School, Recovering Smiles
When Xiaonuan looked back to Typhoon Gaemi, those terrible 1 came into her mind: “The rain was 2 heavy that day, and the water rose rapidly. We watched helplessly as the school walls fell, and the floodwater rushed in.”
Typhoon Gaemi hit Zixing City hard in July 2024, where over 6,500 students in 41 schools and kindergartens were seriously 3 , including Xiaonuan’s school. Despite the government’s best efforts, the school failed to survive. 4 , more than 300 teachers and students were forced to settle in another school nearby. They hoped to restart their education there. But where would all the necessary school supplies come from?
UNICEF’s response
5 , UNICEF came to the children’s help. Having established a strong 6 with the Chinese government, UNICEF 7 quickly when Zixing Education Bureau asked for help. “Once the most 8 needs had been identified, we set out to buy a wide range of teaching and learning supplies the school badly needed. We hope supplies can improve conditions in local schools 9 all children can return to school,” says Lou Chunfang, Education Officer at UNICEF China.
Moreover,6,500 emergency hygiene kits (卫生用品包) were also 10 to the Zixing City. This has been important for the children from 4,000 most badly affected families. “If the UNICEF hadn’t reached out to us, we wouldn’t have been able to reopen any school.” Zhang Xuhui, an officer with Zixing Education Bureau, explains.
But UNICEF’s help didn’t stop there. Children’s mental health was another 11 they were concerned about. Several long-term programs were already on the next year’s 12 to strengthen the local education, health, and protection systems. Hopefully, local children and families can return to normal learning and living conditions as soon as possible.
Regaining Hope
In the classroom, students sit at their new desks, fully 13 their studies. Yet, when they first moved to the new school, they were in a quite challenging position.
“They looked 14 when they first arrived,” says Deng Changhao, a PE teacher from Zhoumensi School. “But now things have changed. With the sports equipment provided by UNICEF, our students are able to move beyond the shadows of the floods. The support has helped them 15 the new environment. Their smiles have returned.” The playground is filled with laughter and cheer once again.

Expert Zoe Carroll, a strategy coach, works with athletes and teaches them to say, “Here comes the energy” instead of “Here come the nerves.” This simple 1 helps them see their feelings as fuel.

Passage 2
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)It’s believed that clever people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, 1 , are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline. Here are the three most common 2 language learners make and how to correct them.
Not listening enough
There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning 3 a “silent period“. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be 4 to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the 5 languages, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.
A single method
Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat practice in a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to 6 a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use 7 methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the 8 can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that 9 the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking ). For self-study, try a 10 of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps. 376
It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of 11 or unsafety hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too 12 making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would 13 them.
The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors 14 they become deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.

Facing your fears is another way to build self-confidence. You might have a(n) 12 for public speaking. But how will you know if you never overcome your fears and try it? Even if you fail, leaving your 13 zone can make you stronger. Don’t let fear become an obstacle in your journey toward excellence!
Finally, showing kindness to others is a great way to build self-confidence. Showing kindness 14 you that you can make a difference in the world. When you make others feel good, you, 15 , feel good about yourself.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Who Cooks the Most in Your Home?
Family holiday meals often involve lots of time spent bent over cutting boards, peeking in the oven and basting meats. There’s often a 1 left to clean up at the end.
Who 2 most of these duties? Gallup and Cookpad conducted a worldwide survey to find out. Data from their survey of trends in home cooking show that in almost every country in the world, women cooked more than men. In 2022, women made, on average, close to nine meals a week, while men cooked about four.
The 3 , of course, leaves many women frustrated.
Emily Kephart, a 41-year-old mother of two, says she enjoyed being in 4 of food when it was just her and her husband, but having kids changed the equation (平衡局面). “Now we have two children and two full-time jobs and I still do 100% of the grocery shopping and meal planning, and about 75% of the actual cooking or food preparation,” she says.
While other duties are divided pretty 5 , Kephart says, she still gets annoyed with her spouse: “When I’m away or have other plans, more often than not my husband gets the ‘ 6 ’ ticket— they order pizza or eat some freezer chicken nuggets. Why does he get the free dinner pass?”
The only country where men cook more meals than women, the survey finds, is Italy. This, several Italian-American readers say, 7 them not one bit.
“For us Italians, knowing and creating good food is a matter of extreme 8 ,” writes Gabrielle DiFonzo. “Food is a very important part of our culture and heritage. For men, cooking is seen as a manly activity,” she writes.
Second generation Italian-American Olivia Box spent last year in Italy, and noticed that her male cousins were always cooking and talking about food. “Cooking for Italians is not a chore (苦差事) ; it is a part of their 9 ,” Box says.
While women tend to cook more than men in the U.S., some men are starting to 10 the art and science of cooking as a hobby to be proud of. Lisa Kulisek from Chicago says her kids prefer her husband’s cooking. When they met, he couldn’t cook, so she taught him some 11 . He has since taught himself more about the science of cooking and 12 it.
Kuliseck hopes more men follow her husband’s 13 : “Maybe we just have to 14 the men who are already cooking to do it more often. They might find it a great way to deal with stress while reducing their partner’s stress and 15 a great skill for their kids.”

Passage 5
(24-25高一上·上海·阶段检测)Most high schools in the United States begin the school day early, often before the first rays of the sun peek over the horizon. The average start times 1 state by state from 7:40 am (Louisiana) to 8:33 a. m. (Alaska). For districts that are considering a later start, there are powerful statements from 2 associations. William E. Kobler, a physician and AMA (American Medical Association) board member stated, “We believe delaying school start times will 3 students get enough sleep, and that it will improve the overall mental and physical health of our nation’s young people.” 4 , there are several problems in delaying high school start times.
Transportation Concerns:
Early start times were 5 in order for school districts to provide bus transportation using the same buses for elementary and high school students. Later start time for high schools could require 6 buses or earlier elementary school start times.
Parental Supervision:
In a delayed start, there may be parents of high school students who will be 7 to drive students to school and get to work on time. This 8 would mean high school students would have the responsibility of getting themselves ready for school. If elementary schools start earlier, the dismissal (解散) time will be earlier as well, and that may 9 more hours of after-school daycare.
Sports or Activities:
For students who participate in sports or other activities, a delayed start will mean these activities will end several hours after school. The later hours could 10 the time for study, homework, and social activities. Coordination (协调) of sports schedules with other schools in area leagues or divisions would be 11 unless all other participating schools also delayed sports schedules. Community use of school 12 would be delayed as well.
Employment:
Many students work to save money for college or another career-related goal. Employers of teens would have to 13 the work schedules for students if school dismissal times were to change. If elementary schools begin earlier, there would be a need to 14 afterschool daycare opportunities. High school students, however would not be 15 to work in a daycare for the first hour or two.
Any move to start school later will require great changes in daily schedules. As a result, school administrators should think twice before taking steps.

话题2 人与社会(共5篇)
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·上海徐汇·期中)After 20 years of teaching, I thought I’d heard every argument in books from students who wanted a better grade. But recently, multiple students had a new 1 : “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into this course.”
In the past, students understood that hard work was not 2 ; an A demanded great work. Yet today, many students expect to be rewarded for the 3 of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge. In a recent survey, 4 , two-thirds of college students say that “trying hard” should be a factor in their grades, and a third think they should get at least a B just for showing up at (most) classes.
The Gen Z are not at fault. It’s the result of a 5 about one of the most popular educational theories.
More than a generation ago, the psychologist Carol Dweck found praising kids for their abilities weakened their flexibility and led to a (n) 6 mindset, making them more likely to get discouraged or give up when they encountered setbacks. However, a shift in praise from intelligence to effort could cultivate a developed mindset and 7 learning. The idea of celebrating persistence quickly made its way into widely-shared articles, 8 books and popular TED talks.
The problem is that we’ve taken this practice too far. We’ve gone from 9 effort to treating it as an end-in itself. We’ve failed to remind a generation of kids that working hard doesn’t guarantee doing a good job, 10 being a good person. What worries me most is that it can motivate people to 11 bad strategies instead of developing better ones. A textbook example is burning the midnight oil rather than spacing out their studying over a few days.
Teachers and parents 12 kids a more balanced message. We award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest, not the ones who train the hardest for good reasons. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain but to ask how you could have gotten a better return on your 13 . A’s are not granted for effort itself; they’re 14 through mastery of the material. The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in. It’s the knowledge and skills you 15 .
1.A.complaint B.assignment C.theory D.essay
2.A.practical B.vast C.adequate D.complex
3.A.proof B.quantity C.hope D.chance

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·上海青浦·期中)How You Search the Internet Can Strengthen Your Beliefs
People’s views are becoming more and more polarized (两极化), with “echo chambers (信息茧房)” — social bubbles that strengthen existing beliefs — worsening disagreements. This polarization (两极化) is not 1 to political opinions; it also covers everyday topics, from climate change to vaccination.
And social media is not the only 2 contributing to it, according to a recent study 3 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA. It turns out that people use search engines in ways that 4 their long-held beliefs, worsening polarization. The researchers suggest that a simple 5 to search algorithms (搜索算法) could help provide a wider variety of perspectives.
Online participants were asked to rate their beliefs on six topics, including nuclear energy and caffeine’s health effects. They then 6 search terms (搜索关键词) to learn more about each topic. The researchers 7 the range of the terms and found that between 9 and 34 percent (depending on the topic) were “narrow”. 8 , when researching the health effects of caffeine, one participant used “caffeine negative effects”, whereas others used “benefits of caffeine”.
These narrow terms tended to 9 participants’ existing beliefs, and generally less than 10 percent did this knowingly. “People often pick search terms that 10 what they believe, without realizing it,” says Eugenia Leung of Tulane University’s business school, who led the study. “Search algorithms are designed to give the most 11 answers for whatever we type, which 12 to support what we already thought.” 13 , this pattern worked when participants used ChatGPT and Bing for searches assisted by artificial intelligence.
When the researchers randomly (随机地) 14 participants to view different results, they saw those results affect people’s opinions and even behavior. For instance, participants who saw search results using “nuclear energy is good” held a more positive view about nuclear energy afterward than those using “nuclear energy is bad”. People who saw results using “caffeine health benefits”, rather than “ 15 ”, were more likely to choose a caffeinated drink afterward.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Between 1980 and 2019, the world’s most developed countries saw their birth rates decline from 1.85 to 1.53 per woman. Analyzed across all rich countries, birth rates among those where childcare is fully 1 are as low as those where parents pay expensive fees — the link between births and total spending on family-friendly policies is 2 . This often causes head-scratching, but it should not 3 , the decision on whether to have children, and how many if so, turned out to be about far more than money. Of course, family-friendly policies can have other positive impacts on individuals and on society. They make it easier for those who have already had children to 4 family and work. They ease child poverty. But when it comes to the heavy lifting on birth rates, 5 is more powerful than policy.
There are a number of different but related 6 at play. First is the rapid rise of so-called helicopter parenting. The realization that a comfortable life has become impossible to acquire without a top-quality education has sparked intense competition between 7 . They feel pressured to invest huge amounts of time and effort into 8 their kids’ upbringing. In 1965, mothers of young children in developed countries spent an average of an hour a day doing activities with their kids. By 2018 that had risen to three hours, and in Korea approaching four. Korea’s fertility rate (生育率) has dropped to 0.72, while in France, where parenting is much less 9 , birth rates have held up well and now stand at 1.8.
The second big reason is changing priorities for young adults. A study last year by Lyman Stone, an economist, shows that the priority that most 10 birth rates among young women is the desire to grow as a person and to focus on their career. 11 over the demands of helicopter parenting also rank high. Childcare costs come in at a lowly 14th place.
Finally, and arguably most importantly, the share of young adults in the west living as a couple is in decline. With women increasingly able to support themselves financially, one traditional reason for 12 has faded away. This helps explain why the most recent downward trend in births has been driven by a(n) 13 in the number of young people deciding not to have any child at all.
Birth rates in developed countries look virtually unlikely to return to replacement level (生育更替的正常水平) any time soon. If they 14 do so, it will most likely be due to broad social and cultural changes, not policy. There’s nothing wrong with governments pursuing family-friendly packages for other reasons, but if they’re worrying about ageing and shrinking populations, then they need to find other 15 .

话题3 人与自然(共6篇)
Passage 1
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)About two months ago, I removed Uber Eats (外卖软件) from my phone, but not because I didn’t like using it. I 1 it. Ordering what you feel like eating and having it delivered to your door within about 30 minutes is a luxury, for a small 2 .
Like most other well affordable modern luxuries though, there are hidden 3 . And it’s increasingly harder to pretend we couldn’t see them.
A headline in the Washington Post read, “Restaurants are barely 4 . Delivery apps will kill them.” Many other articles have explored the predatory (压榨他人的) sign-up tactics (策略) and high commissions (佣金) and fees taken by these tech companies.
But the most apparent impact is on human lives. Delivery riders have been 5 in accidents while trying to complete their orders. These deaths are part of a larger narrative about poor working 6 for riders.
One friend said to me, “I can’t 7 the thought of someone dying delivering me a dessert.” That was it. I 8 the app and haven’t used it, or any of its competitors, since. Instead of ordering on a whim (一时兴起), now I either cook something good or get takeaway from a place in walking or driving distance.
This approach has saved me a lot of money. As with a lot of online shopping, I’d been ordering food mindlessly, giving only a brief thought to its price and value. Cooking is almost always 9 and so is old-school takeaway.
All of these changes have cost me one thing — time. One reason the apps are so popular is that so many people are burned out, stressed or attracted by 10 . With delivery, I didn’t have to think about dinner until the last minute, like after I finished work or returned from the gym. By this time, I was already 11 , and the shops were all closed.
Having to plan meals again actually made my life less 12 . Some days it’s a good incentive to stop working earlier, to close my laptop and go to the shops, walk to the pizza place, or start chopping onions.
Cooking is one of those activities that require both of your hands and all your 13 . Walking to pick up takeaway forces you to, well, go for a walk. The change in habit forced me to be on my devices a bit less and to be in my actual life and neighbourhood a bit more.
The process has made me think about how a lot of technological 14 do save us time, but time for what? For me, the answer was often just more time working, or more time online. Making my own food feels like taking back time I had 15 for things far less nourishing (有营养的).

What’s more, the insulae caught fire frequently, leaving Rome with a vicious (恶性的) 14 of houses burning down and collapsing, then immediate reconstruction and fire once more. Indeed, rather than being in nature’s hands, some collapses were 15 since the greedy landlords keep on tearing down the existing insulae and replacing them with higher and larger monsters in pursuit of more rents.

Passage 4
(25-26高一上·上海·期中)Shop Online or Stand in Line?
If you think shopping online is more eco-friendly than driving to a store to pick up your groceries, think again. A recent study on the environmental impact of shopping online versus brick-and-mortar (实体店) found that 1 shopping can be up to 60% more environmentally sustainable than online shopping. If you’re wondering why, here are some answers.
Online items typically require 2 containers or plastic to ship them safely. They are also likely to come from different distribution centres. According to experts, these two factors 3 higher greenhouse gas emissions per item. In fact, compared with those generated by the plastic or paper bag shoppers typically bring home, 4 for online orders can create five times more emissions. Think about all of those boxes, labels, bubble wrap and air pillows you need to 5 after your online purchases have been delivered, some of which are not recyclable.
Buyer 6 is another reason. When purchasing online — even if they do it frequently — many people buy only a few items whereas when shopping in store, they 7 to bulk buy (大量购买). By not driving to a store every day, they produce less greenhouse emissions than the delivery vans travelling to and from distribution centres and multiple drop-off addresses. 8 , when people go to malls or shopping streets, they often make multiple stops. Emissions are thus 9 since the emission-output is spread out over multiple purchases.
A further significant impact on the environment caused by vehicle emissions is the 10 of returned products purchased online: 40% compared to 7% bought in store. Someone in a vehicle has to take them back.
In the future, this may 11 . Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, announced its commitment to making the company more 12 and carbon-neutral (碳中和) by 2040. To help reach this target, it started by buying 100,000 new electric delivery vehicles (thousands of which are already on the road) and it plans to have them all 13 by 2030.
Of course, this holds true in countries where people mostly drive, so it really 14 the country and its consumer behaviour. Nevertheless, every time we shop, there is an impact. 15 , when you’re thinking about how convenient it is to purchase that one item online, take a moment to consider the carbon footprint of doing so.

Passage 5
(24-25高一上·上海·期中)Why the Color Green Makes Us Feel Good
Scientists have revealed a new theory into why the color green makes us feel good. It is already well known that being out in nature is good for a person’s mental health. But now, a new study published in the British Ecological Society 1 a new theory for this called the “greenery hypothesis (假说).” They suggest that our need for green spaces 2 evolution.
The researchers suggest that when greenery disappears during times of drought, it triggers a signal in humans for environmental degradation (恶化). This can lead to 3 psychological response, and even lead to feelings of depression.
4 , when greenery returns, the researchers report that it triggers a positive mental response, which further encourages them to 5 positive activities, like searching for food.
“These psycho-physiological 6 must be crucial for survival during environmental fluctuations (波动) that humans have experienced in evolutionary adaptive environments,” a summary of the study reports. “However, in modern urbanized societies with limited greenery, this psychological system may lead to non-adaptive negative effects, such as increased stress and depression, creating a 7 between our evolutionary past and current cultural evolution.
This hypothesis can provide valuable insights into understanding how humans psychologically respond to nature exposure, with implications for 8 such as urban planning, biodiversity conservation, etc.
The scientists created this new hypothesis by bringing together previous research into the 9 of nature on humans. And from this, they gather that ongoing loss of green spaces, 10 in urban environments, could have severe impacts on human health and well-being.
They note that restoring natural environments in urban areas should be a matter of priority in order to 11 “mass psychological health problems in contemporary society.” They hope that the hypothesis outlined in the study provides a framework for improving conservation efforts and prioritizing green environments in urban areas. They also emphasize how nature and greenery must be 12 for human well-being.
The greenery hypothesis also notes that humans are more likely to find a place beautiful or pleasing to look at if there is greenery. This is even more likely if a person is more used to urban environments that have a 13 amount of nature around.
“Our proposed hypothesis states that humans have adapted to periodic severe 14 and re-watering cycles by developing both negative and positive psychological responses to the absence or 15 of greenery within the landscape as hints to optimize their own behavioral activities.” the authors write in the study.
