It offers you a chance to try new things and discover what your interests really are. While everyone’s path looks different, all students are recommended to put these experiences on your list. Attend School Events Don’t miss out on attending your school’s events! Friday night football games, school theatres, choir (合唱团) performances, and more can make you feel connected to your school and support others in their hobbies. Bring posters, cheer, and join in on the fun of the activities. Find a Club, Sport, or Program You Love High school allows you the flexibility (灵活性) to try new things and discover what you want to pursue.

These people can become lifelong friends and help support you on your journey. Get outside of your comfort zone and invite these new people to hang out. Get Involved (参与) in Your Community Throughout high school there will be plenty of opportunities to be more involved in your community. You’ll find ways to volunteer and be an active participant in various activities. You never know where life will take you and making the most of your time in your community can build your resume, learn new skills, and help you meet who can support you in your journey.

Passage 2 （26-27高一上·海南海口·阶段检测）The day I walked into Westbrook High, it seemed like every pair of eyes in the hallway somehow knew I was the new kid. Starting a new school mid year was like hitting reset on my life. At lunch that first day, I sat at the corner table pretending (假装) to be very interested in my phone while secretly searching “…how to survive being the new kid.” Teen mental (精神的) health articles kept saying the same thing — feeling nervous during a school move is normal. That helped a little, but honestly, I was still uneasy. The first week was difficult. I got lost looking for chemistry class, mispronounced a teacher’s name, and walked into the wrong classroom twice. But something small changed when a guy named Luca asked if I wanted to join his group during science lab. It was not a dramatic movie moment, just a simple “Hey, you can sit here if you want.” That one sentence made the whole day easier. One trick that helped me adjust (适应) to a new school was setting small goals. Instead of trying to make five best friends right away, I focused on simple things. Learn two classmates’ names. Join one club. Ask one question in class. Those small wins slowly made me confident. My dad also gave surprisingly good advice. He said being new can actually be an advantage because nobody has a fixed idea about you yet. You get to decide who you want to be. That thought stuck with me during the first few months. By spring, things looked very different. I joined the photography club and started hanging out with Luca. Moving schools mid year was not easy, but it taught me something important about resilience (适应力). Feeling uncomfortable does not last forever. If you are the new kid right now, hang in there. The hallway that feels strange today might become the place where your next chapter (篇章) begins. 4．What did the author do during his first lunch at Westbrook High? A．He explored his new phone. B．He went online for suggestions. C．He chatted with his new friends. D．He stayed alone to avoid attention. 5．What marked a turning point in the author’s first week? A．A classmate’s invitation. B．A special chemistry lesson. C．A teacher’s encouragement. D．A touching movie moment. 6．What did the author do to get used to the new school life? A．He set himself easy-to-achieve goals. B．He turned to his parents for comfort. C．He made an effort to get good grades. D．He tried to make a lot of new friends. 7．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A．Be true to yourself. B．Keep an open mind. C．Give yourself time to fit in. D．Be calm when things go wrong. Passage 3 （26-27高一上·上海嘉定·开学考试）As students head back to school for another year, many are walking into high school for the first time and many of these students will have preconceptions about high school that focus on stress and anxiety. Recognizing this, Lizzie McGuire is in a sad mood after her first day in high school. Though she was excited by the prospect (前景) of graduation from junior high and moving on to high school, the very first day was not what she had expected. When she got to school, she found a flyer distributed by the high-schoolers warning the junior high kids about what’s in store for them when they get on their territory. All this has made for a change in Lizzie’s attitude. When Lizzie went back home, she locked herself up in her room. Her father noticed something wrong with his daughter, so he tried to have a talk with her. Seeing the flyer in Lizzie’s hand, he laughed and recalled his own youth in the high school, during which time freshmen weren’t even allowed to go near the freshman lockers. Otherwise, he or she would be stuffed in a trash can. Lizzie’s father tried to comfort his girl by listing all the things she tried in middle school: Running for class president, rhythmic gymnastics, saving the environment, and even getting her first job and told her how proud he was of her bravery. However, Lizzie insisted that she had failed all these things and she started thinking that she’d been such a failure in junior high and would be a nobody in high school. What her father responded to her was really true. He said,“The only time you really fail, sweetheart, is if you don’t try. With a new school year on the horizon, we all want to make the most of high school. In high school, you can expect more homework and less oversight from parents and teachers. It’s up to you to structure your own time and study routines, and how you do that makes all the difference in how successful you’ll be. But the most important thing doesn’t change, that is, go out and try, and then make a success of it.” 8．How did Lizzie feel about her senior high school life at first? A．Excited B．Ambitious C．Worried D．Indifferent 9．Which of the following was not one of Lizzie’s extracurricular activities in junior high school? A．Running for class president. B．Doing rhythmic gymnastics. C．Joining the chorus group. D．Saving the environment. 10．What does the passage suggest high school freshman do? A．Focus on homework. B．Structure your routines. C．Have some talk with parents. D．Be brave and try new things. 话题2 语言与学习（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·辽宁沈阳·阶段检测）There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged. Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English. 1．When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ________. A．greenhouse B．foodstuff C．cupboard D．cookbook 2．According to the passage, in British English ________. A．the word “pissed” means angry B．the word “jacket” is often used C．the word “engaged” means tired D．the word “rubber” means eraser 3．What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Pargraph 2 mean? A．Wrote down B．Cared about C．Looked for D．Settled down 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The British way of using words. B．Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her. C．The reasons why Americans can’t follow the British at times. D．Some words used differently in British English and American English. Passage 2 （26-27高一上·黑龙江哈尔滨·阶段检测）On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrase book. But now, many simple, free apps are good news for those travellers. With these apps’ conversation mode, people talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later. Maybe the best-known app is Google Translate, though small mistakes can happen due to its word-for-word translation. Surprisingly, the best tool may not be a translation app at all. Though not marketed for that, ChatGPT, a generative AI system, can write messages in different languages, producing natural output like a native speaker. As AI translation becomes an even more popular labour-saving tool, society may divide into two groups. There will be those who want to fully experience other cultures. This group will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a different attitude: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” After all, most people do not move abroad or have an opportunity to experience a foreign culture deeply. On their holiday, they may just want a beer and spaghetti (意大利面). As a result, some experts are concerned that AI is leading to a decreasing interest in language learning. Writer Douglas Hofstadter has argued that something meaningful will disappear when people communicate through machines. He describes giving a disconnected, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would boast (吹嘘) of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma? While AI translation seems practical, we must recognize the social nature of language. When trying to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in awkward German, you are making direct contact with someone. The best relationships do not require a third party. 5．Which of the following best describes translation apps? A．Free but complex. B．Quick but imperfect. C．Creative but costly. D．Simple but time-consuming. 6．Why does the writer mention “beer and spaghetti” in paragraph 3? A．To present a conclusion. B．To suggest a possible situation. C．To offer a simple excuse. D．To provide another choice. 7．What can be inferred from Douglas Hofstadter’s opinion? A．Learning a foreign language proves less attractive. B．Reaching Mount Qomolangma by helicopter is fairly effortless. C．Using a foreign language independently is truly worthwhile. D．Making a speech in another language proves quite challenging. 8．What is the social nature of language according to the text? A．Connection between language users. B．Dependence on AI translation. C．Communication with the third party. D．Exchange of cultural information. Passage 3 （26-27高一上·山西太原·阶段检测）Today’s word, pan, takes us back to the days of the gold rush in California. On January 24th, 1848, a man named James Wilson Marshall discovered gold in the territory (地区) of California. The news spread quickly. Thousands rushed west. They traveled on foot, by horseback and by boat to reach the gold fields. By 1849, the great gold rush was on. Towns and cities grew overnight. Throughout the territory — in the mountains, along the streams and rivers — thousands of people searched for gold. Some found areas of mountain rock thick with gold. These men got rich. But such areas were few and quickly claimed (认领) by the first men to find them. Others searched for gold in the rivers coming down the mountains. They were after pieces of gold that the rains had washed down from above. The only way to find this gold was by panning. First a gold miner put dirt in a metal pan and added water. Then he shook the pan so that the water would wash the dirt. Slowly, he poured the water out of the pan. If he was a lucky miner, pieces of gold would remain. Across the nation, newspapers carried stories of the gold being found. One told how thousands of people climbed the mountains looking for gold. Some stories told how others followed the rivers and streams with pans. Each one hoped that the place he claimed panned out well — had some gold. For many, gold mining did not pan out. For a few, it panned out well. But in time, huge machines were built that could wash many tons of dirt at a time. Panning died out. The word, however, remained in the language. Today, Americans still say, “It panned out well,” when something they have done pleases them. A business, a discovery, a simple event pans out well if it is successful. Unhappily, sometimes things do not pan out. In recent years, the word pan has taken on another meaning. Today, it also means to criticize. How it got this meaning is hard to discover. But the job of a critic (评论家) is to sometimes pan the work of an artist, writer or singer. Words are living. They change and grow as our world changes. 9．What was the original meaning of the word “pan”? A．A flat metal container. B．To search for gold in rivers. C．To criticize a work severely. D．A successful mining project. 10．What does the phrase “panned out well” mean in modern English? A．The miners washed gold in pans. B．Gold could be found everywhere. C．Something turned out successfully. D．The mining method disappeared. 11．What can we learn about the meaning “to pan a piece of work”? A．It came from the gold-washing process. B．It was widely used during California Gold Rush. C．Its origin remains unclear. D．It described miners’ hard work. 12．What is the main idea of the text? A．The history of the California Gold Rush. B．Different ways to search for gold. C．Difficulties faced by gold miners. D．How the word “pan” developed new meanings. 话题3 家庭生活（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·海南海口·阶段检测）Recently, I saw several moms on the Internet criticizing (批评) parents who drive their kids to school. “It will spoil (宠坏) her,” one mom said. “She needs to be independent and catch the bus.” Many parents agree. After all, there are plenty of school buses filled with students in our small city. But unlike those other parents, I choose to drive my daughter, and have been doing so since she started primary school. I wake up early to drive her, and every afternoon, I wait in the car line to pick her up. I want to treasure this time with her while I can. These drives have become a special chance for us to connect. It’s a rare (罕见的) time when neither of us is doing anything else, and she is there just to listen to me. On the 10-minute drive to our local high school, I point out the first pink light of sunrise to my less-than-enthusiastic (不太感兴趣的) daughter. “Look at it! It’s so pretty,” I say. If I’m lucky, she’ll enjoy it with me, but most days she is a typical ninth grader — quiet, busy with her own thoughts, and giving one-word answers. To draw her out, I get creative with a new tradition. We soften Mondays and celebrate Fridays with an after-school stop at Starbucks for a mango drink or Dunkin’ for a strawberry treat. I ask questions in fun ways that let her share more. Sometimes I hear about a funny class moment, a problem in math, or a story from the gym. These drives are little moments of peace in her turbulent (躁动的) teenage life. We have our fights, and she might not enjoy these rides now as much as I do. But maybe one day she will remember them sweetly. Meanwhile, I’ll keep driving my daughter and make these days meaningful for both of us. 1．What makes the author different from other parents? A．The opinion on high schoolers using the Internet. B．The experience of teaching in primary school. C．The act of criticizing the traffic in her city. D．The habit of driving her kid to school. 2．What does the author’s practice result in? A．A messed-up work schedule. B．A closer relationship with her daughter. C．Her daughter’s greater enjoyment of learning. D．Disagreements between her and her friends. 3．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Honest and quiet. B．Brave and curious. C．Caring and fun. D．Strict and serious. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Road Between Us B．The Morning at School C．A Fantastic Trip Through the City D．A Useful Suggestion for Parents of High Schoolers Passage 2 （26-27高一上·江苏连云港·阶段检测）The people who influence our lives are our parents, grandparents, teachers and close friends, and they play an important role in our growth. They lead by example, teaching us how to deal with difficulties, how to stay strong in the face of adversity, how to be wise, and how to care for the people around us. My dad taught me how to have fun with technology. He runs a small workshop where teenagers learn to build simple robots. Today my dad continues to influence me in positive ways. He has faced a challenging health problem over the past year, but he has carried on with his life in much the same way as before his illness, going about his daily work a bit slower and needing to take more rest, but still living his life the way he wishes. My grandfather taught me the value of being trusted. He worked as a village doctor for forty years, and everyone in the village believed in him. My mother influenced my life in a different way. She was quiet, loving and full of strength. When she spoke, I listened, as she did not speak unless she had something to say. My best friend has encouraged me to be brave and independent, to think for myself, and not to look to others for permission. She has also taught me to adapt to the ever-changing reality of our high school life, and she has met each challenge with courage and dignity. I have learned much from the people who have had an influence on my life. For all that I have learned and for the role they played and continue to play in my life, I am forever thankful. 5．What can be learned about the author’s father? A．His life has completely changed. B．His workshop has closed down. C．He needs to rest most of the day. D．He has some health problems now. 6．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean?

B．To complain about the changes of school life. C．To prove friendship is the most valuable thing. D．To explain how to ask for friends’ permission. 8．What does the text mainly talk about? A．The influence of great people around us. B．The advantages of being strong. C．The significance of holiday greetings. D．The author’s family background. Passage 3 （26-27高一上·山西·阶段检测）Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly-in, fly-out” parents might affect (影响) the health of their children. A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long-term absence of a parent had more emotional (情绪的) or behavioral problems than those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research that found teenagers were likely to feel anxious, or even annoyed when they often returned to an empty and quiet house after school so that they even had no interest in playing games. Findings also suggest that parents don’t have to be home all the time, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant, which means keeping their company in silence. Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy each other’s company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter’s invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close and their methods of company won my likes. In fact, many years of research suggests that children use their parents as a safe base (基地) from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don’t want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom. A new school year is at hand, so as parents, we could offer our teenagers a “potted flower” as a gift, whose quiet and steady presence will give them a great day. 9．What did the researchers try to find out about the 3,000 students? A．How many of them lived without parents. B．How parents’ absence influenced them. C．What jobs their parents liked doing. D．Whether parents helped do housework. 10．What might be the outcome for the kids with parents’ long-term absence? A．Being more responsible. B．Getting used to quietness. C．Having terrible feelings. D．Being addicted to playing games. 11．Who can be called “potted plant” parents? A．Those giving their kids much freedom. B．Those asking their kids to follow rules. C．Those always accompanying their kids. D．Those silently staying close to their kids. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards his friends’ ways of accompanying their kids? A．Supportive. B．Unacceptable. C．Doubtful. D．Worried. 话题4 友谊与交友（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·山东德州·阶段检测）Ella and Mia had been friends since childhood. While Mia was slow to express herself, Ella was the outgoing and active one. Despite these differences, they quickly learned to understand and accept each other. From playing in the park to exchanging secrets late into the night, their friendship developed. As the years passed, their bond deepened, and their lives became connected in ways they could never have predicted. However, when they entered high school, life took a sudden turn. Ella’s family faced financial struggles, and she was forced to move to a different town. The change was hard for Ella, but even harder for Mia, who had always depended on Ella for support. Ella was struggling to get used to a new town, while Mia stayed behind, feeling quite lonely. But despite the physical distance(距离), they refused to let their friendship become weak. One night, Mia received a call from Ella. It was bad news. Ella’s father had fallen ill, and the situation was serious. Ella, who was usually strong and independent, broke down on the phone. She didn’t know what to do. Mia didn’t hesitate(犹豫) for a second. She packed her bags and traveled to Ella’s town at once. She did whatever she could and helped Ella’s family with whatever they needed. From making meals to comforting Ella, Mia proved that true friendship stands up to all challenges. Ella’s father’s health gradually improved, but what remained etched (铭记在心的) on Ella’s heart was the support Mia had shown during her darkest days. Their friendship had always been strong, but this act of kindness strengthened their bond forever. Mia had shown her true colors — she was not just a friend; she was family. 1．How were Ella and Mia different from each other? A．Ella was careful and Mia was brave.

C．Distance makes friendship either sweeter or weaker. D．Good friends make you feel comfortable about being yourself. Passage 2 （26-27高一上·河北沧州·阶段检测）Would your boss ever pay you to talk to your friends? A Swedish pharmacy company, Apotek Hjärtat, is testing that by setting up a “friendcare” try-out, aiming to see whether giving workers time for friendships can improve their well-being. Since April, the try-out has been giving 11 of its nearly 4,000 workers 15 minutes of paid time per week — or one hour a month — specifically to build friendships. They can use this time for phone calls, texting plans, or even meeting a friend in person. The company has also provided these workers with about $100 to cover activity costs during the one-year try-out. The idea came from a previous project with a mental (精神上的) health charity, which explored how short conversations between customers and pharmacists (药剂师) could reduce loneliness. Research shows that social connections are linked to greater happiness, health, and longevity, while loneliness raises the risk of mental illness and heart disease. In July 2025, the Swedish government put out its first national plan to fight loneliness. According to 2024 data, 6% of Swedes over 16 are frequently troubled by loneliness, 8% lack a close friend, and 13% have no one to share inner thoughts with. The plan calls for all parts of society to cooperate, and the health minister suggests that businesses should consider how loneliness affects both workers and customers. 5．What is the main purpose of the try-out? A．To reduce labor costs. B．To teach workers how to make friends. C．To encourage workers to work longer hours. D．To test if friendship time makes workers happier. 6．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How the try-out is carried out. B．Why building friendship is important. C．What value workers bring to a company. D．How much a company spends on workers yearly. 7．What inspired the company to start the try-out? A．Suggestions from its workers. B．A study on pharmacist-customer talks. C．A government plan to reduce loneliness. D．Data about mental illness and heart disease. 8．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Swedish people are lonelier than those in other countries. B．Loneliness is no longer just a problem for the elderly. C．Companies have already taken measures to reduce loneliness. D．The government believes loneliness is a serious social problem. Passage 3 （26-27高一上·四川南充·阶段检测）For most teenagers today, social media is as much a part of daily life as school or homework. A 2025 survey of 12,000 teenagers aged 13-18 from 15 countries found that the average teen spends 3.2 hours on social media every day. While social media offers many benefits, it also brings risks that need to be recognized. One of the biggest benefits of social media for teenagers is connection. For shy or lonely teens, in particular, social media can be a way to make friends with people who share their interests. Some teens even use social media for good — raising money for charity or spreading awareness about important issues like climate change. But there are also significant risks. Cyberbullying is a major problem: 45 percent of the teens surveyed said they had experienced it before. Overuse of social media can also lead to lack of sleep — 38 percent of teens surveyed said they got less than 7 hours of sleep a night, which is below the recommended 8-10 hours for teens. Mental health issues like anxiety and low self-esteem (自尊) are also linked to social media use, as teens often compare their lives to the “perfect” images they see online. Therefore, experts say that limitation is key. Parents can help their kids create a “social media schedule”. Schools should teach digital literacy, helping teens learn to spot fake news, protect their privacy, and deal with cyberbullying. Social media companies also have a responsibility: they can add features (功能) like time limits, hide harmful content, and make it easier for teens to report abuse. Generally, social media itself isn’t good or bad — it’s how teenagers use it that matters. When used wisely, it can be a tool for learning, connecting, and creating. But when overused or without caution, it can harm teens’ health and well-being. By working together, parents, teachers, and companies can help teenagers get the most out of social media while avoiding its risks. 9．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A．By quoting an expert. B．By giving an example. C．By referring to a survey. D．By making a comparison. 10．Which of the following statements about social media is true? A．Social media can help teens build friendships. B．Social media can well develop students’ leadership skills. C．Cyberbullying affects more than half of the teenagers surveyed. D．Teens with low self-esteem often see their perfect images online. 11．What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．The importance of setting rules for social media use. B．How parents and schools can help protect teenagers online. C．The responsibility that social media companies should have. D．Different methods to help teenagers use social media properly. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive. 本题以“数字时代语音留言重塑人际情感联结”为背景，融合英语、社会学、传播学相关知识。引导学生体会作者从抗拒语音留言、亲身感受语音的温度，到阐释语音交流独特价值的认知变化过程，认识数字化沟通中真诚表达与情感传递的意义，并辩证思考信息技术对人际关系的双重影响，培养思辨性阅读能力、批判性思维以及人文共情意识。 （26-27高一上·河北沧州·开学考试）In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. Unlike typed messages that remove tone and warmth, a voice note carries the rhythm of a laugh, the softness of a sigh, and the unscripted (即兴的) sincerity of real speech — elements that make human connection feel genuine, even across miles. I used to avoid sending voice notes, overwhelmed by the fear of sounding awkward or unclear. But after receiving a random voice message from a friend living abroad, filled with the sound of their morning coffee and casual joy, I realized how eager I was for this kind of genuine connection. Such a simple audio greeting brought me more comfort than dozens of well-polished texts and instantly melted the loneliness brought by long-distance separation. Texting feels like a performance, where we edit and polish every word; voice notes let us be messy, human, and truly present for one another. What makes voice notes special is their non-real-time magic. They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later. A voice note isn’t just information — it’s a hug in audio form, a reminder that someone is thinking of you deeply enough to share their unedited self. In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” And in that small, intentional choice, we rebuild the human connection that technology so often threatens to erase. These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life. 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 2? A．She seldom talks with distant friends. B．She feared sending voice notes at first. C．She thought technology hurt relationships. D．She favors quick and thoughtless messages. 2．Why does the author think voice notes are special? A．They are much faster to send. B．They allow natural expression. C．They make talks more formal. D．They need immediate replies. 3．What does the author intend to show by mentioning “intentional choice”? A．Voice notes are more convenient to use. B．Technology improves connection greatly. C．Sincere communication takes time and care. D．People should refuse digital communication. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Voice Notes: Bringing Human Warmth to a Digital World B．Modern Technology: The Key to Editing Your Words Well C．Voice Notes: An Instant Messaging Tool for Urgent Business D．Personal Interactions: Why Speed Matters in Modern Communication 本题以“成人第二语言习得的最新研究成果”为背景，融合英语、神经科学、教育学知识。引导学生了解科研发现：成年人同样可以高效学习第二语言，认识家庭共学模式在语言习得中的独特优势，理解语言学习需要敢于试错、主动练习；辩证看待课堂学习与生活化沉浸式学习各自的价值，培养信息获取能力、批判性思维与终身学习意识。 （26-27高一上·四川绵阳·开学考试）As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can help people stay away from dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.    In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simple training, the brain activity between sentences that depended on grammatical features (特征) unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.     Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.     Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used. 1．What does the new study find? A．Kids often travel a lot with their parents and friends. B．Adults have learnt a second language better than kids. C．Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids. D．Kids are likely to develop increased neural connections. 2．What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom? A．It can be successful. B．It has limited effect. C．It only focuses on grammar. D．It makes students bored. 3．What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort? A．Helping kids to form good learning habits. B．Making parents control their kids easily. C．Keeping kids focused on the classroom more. D．Providing learning chances for all family members. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward adults learning a second language? A．Supportive. B．Against. C．Uninterested. D．Doubtful. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前押题 02 阅读理解 话题1 高中校园生活 话题2 语言与学习（常考点） 话题3 家庭生活（常考点） 话题4 友谊与交友 ① 先读题干和选项，再带着问题回原文定位；重点抓关键词、转折、因果和首尾段。 ② 答案必须以原文为依据，警惕偷换概念、无中生有和过度推断。 ③ 核心：题干定位 → 原文对应 → 排除干扰 → 依据原文作答。 话题1高中校园生活（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·山东济宁·阶段检测）High school can be one of the best times of your academic career.

Starting a new school mid year was like hitting reset on my life. At lunch that first day, I sat at the corner table pretending (假装) to be very interested in my phone while secretly searching “…how to survive being the new kid.” Teen mental (精神的) health articles kept saying the same thing — feeling nervous during a school move is normal. That helped a little, but honestly, I was still uneasy. The first week was difficult. I got lost looking for chemistry class, mispronounced a teacher’s name, and walked into the wrong classroom twice. But something small changed when a guy named Luca asked if I wanted to join his group during science lab. It was not a dramatic movie moment, just a simple “Hey, you can sit here if you want.” That one sentence made the whole day easier. One trick that helped me adjust (适应) to a new school was setting small goals. Instead of trying to make five best friends right away, I focused on simple things. Learn two classmates’ names. Join one club. Ask one question in class. Those small wins slowly made me confident. My dad also gave surprisingly good advice. He said being new can actually be an advantage because nobody has a fixed idea about you yet. You get to decide who you want to be. That thought stuck with me during the first few months. By spring, things looked very different. I joined the photography club and started hanging out with Luca. Moving schools mid year was not easy, but it taught me something important about resilience (适应力). Feeling uncomfortable does not last forever. If you are the new kid right now, hang in there. The hallway that feels strange today might become the place where your next chapter (篇章) begins. 4．What did the author do during his first lunch at Westbrook High? A．He explored his new phone. B．He went online for suggestions. C．He chatted with his new friends. D．He stayed alone to avoid attention. 5．What marked a turning point in the author’s first week? A．A classmate’s invitation. B．A special chemistry lesson. C．A teacher’s encouragement. D．A touching movie moment. 6．What did the author do to get used to the new school life? A．He set himself easy-to-achieve goals. B．He turned to his parents for comfort. C．He made an effort to get good grades. D．He tried to make a lot of new friends. 7．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A．Be true to yourself. B．Keep an open mind. C．Give yourself time to fit in. D．Be calm when things go wrong. 【答案】4．B 5．A 6．A 7．C 【导语】文章讲述了作者中途转学，初到新学校十分不安。同学卢卡主动接纳了他，他靠设立小目标慢慢适应。作者感悟：不适感终会消散，新生要坚持，给自己时间融入新环境。 【详解】4．细节理解题。根据第一段“At lunch that first day, I sat at the corner table pretending (假装) to be very interested in my phone while secretly searching “…how to survive being the new kid.”(开学第一天午餐时，我坐在角落的桌子旁，假装对手机很感兴趣，却偷偷搜索“……作为新生该如何熬过这段日子”) 可知，作者第一天午饭时上网寻找建议。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段“But something small changed when a guy named Luca asked if I wanted to join his group during science lab. It was not a dramatic movie moment, just a simple “Hey, you can sit here if you want.” That one sentence made the whole day easier.(但在科学实验课上，一个叫卢卡的男生问我要不要加入他的小组，小小的改变就此发生。这并不是电影里那种激动人心的时刻，只是一句简单的“嘿，如果你想，你可以坐这里。”就这一句话让一整天轻松了许多)”可知，一位同学的邀请成为第一周的转折点。 6．细节理解题。根据第四段“One trick that helped me adjust (适应) to a new school was setting small goals. Instead of trying to make five best friends right away, I focused on simple things.(帮我适应新学校的一个办法就是设立小目标。我没有想着立刻交到五个挚友，而是专注于简单的小事)”可知，作者为自己设定容易实现的目标来适应新校园生活。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Feeling uncomfortable does not last forever. If you are the new kid right now, hang in there. The hallway that feels strange today might become the place where your next chapter (篇章) begins.(不适感不会永远持续。如果你现在正是新生，坚持住。今天还觉得陌生的走廊，或许会成为你人生新篇章开启的地方)”可知，作者建议给自己一点时间去融入新环境。 Passage 3 （26-27高一上·上海嘉定·开学考试）As students head back to school for another year, many are walking into high school for the first time and many of these students will have preconceptions about high school that focus on stress and anxiety. Recognizing this, Lizzie McGuire is in a sad mood after her first day in high school. Though she was excited by the prospect (前景) of graduation from junior high and moving on to high school, the very first day was not what she had expected. When she got to school, she found a flyer distributed by the high-schoolers warning the junior high kids about what’s in store for them when they get on their territory. All this has made for a change in Lizzie’s attitude. When Lizzie went back home, she locked herself up in her room. Her father noticed something wrong with his daughter, so he tried to have a talk with her. Seeing the flyer in Lizzie’s hand, he laughed and recalled his own youth in the high school, during which time freshmen weren’t even allowed to go near the freshman lockers. Otherwise, he or she would be stuffed in a trash can. Lizzie’s father tried to comfort his girl by listing all the things she tried in middle school: Running for class president, rhythmic gymnastics, saving the environment, and even getting her first job and told her how proud he was of her bravery. However, Lizzie insisted that she had failed all these things and she started thinking that she’d been such a failure in junior high and would be a nobody in high school. What her father responded to her was really true. He said,“The only time you really fail, sweetheart, is if you don’t try. With a new school year on the horizon, we all want to make the most of high school. In high school, you can expect more homework and less oversight from parents and teachers. It’s up to you to structure your own time and study routines, and how you do that makes all the difference in how successful you’ll be. But the most important thing doesn’t change, that is, go out and try, and then make a success of it.” 8．How did Lizzie feel about her senior high school life at first? A．Excited B．Ambitious C．Worried D．Indifferent 9．Which of the following was not one of Lizzie’s extracurricular activities in junior high school? A．Running for class president. B．Doing rhythmic gymnastics. C．Joining the chorus group. D．Saving the environment. 10．What does the passage suggest high school freshman do? A．Focus on homework. B．Structure your routines. C．Have some talk with parents. D．Be brave and try new things. 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了Lizzie升入高中首日受传单影响情绪低落，在父亲开导下重拾勇气尝试新事物的故事。 【详解】8．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recognizing this, Lizzie McGuire, is in a sad mood after her first day in high school. Though she was excited by the prospect(前景) of graduation from junior high and moving on to high school, the very first day was not what she had expected.(意识到这一点，Lizzie McGuire在高中第一天后情绪低落。虽然她对初中毕业并升入高中的前景感到兴奋，但第一天并不是她所期望的)”可知，Lizzie最初对高中生活感到兴奋。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Otherwise, he or she would be stuffed in a trash can. Lizzie’s father tried to comfort his girl by listing all the things she tried in middle school: Running for class president, rhythmic gymnastics, saving the environment, and even getting her first job and told her how proud he was of her bravery.(否则，他或她会被塞进垃圾桶。Lizzie的父亲试图通过列举她初中时尝试过的所有事来安慰女儿：竞选班长、艺术体操、保护环境、甚至找到了自己的第一份工作，父亲还告诉Lizzie，他为她的勇敢感到十分骄傲)”可知，竞选班长、艺术体操、环保活动都是她初中课外活动，文中未提及合唱团。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He said,“The only time you really fail, sweetheart, is if you don’t try. With a new school year on the horizon, we all want to make the most of high school. In high school, you can expect more homework and less oversight from parents and teachers. It’s up to you to structure your own time and study routines, and how you do that makes all the difference in how successful you’ll be. But the most important thing doesn’t change,that is, go out and try, and then make a success of it.”(他说：“亲爱的，你真正失败的唯一时刻，就是你根本不去尝试。新学年即将到来，我们都想充分利用好高中时光。在高中，你会面对更多的作业，来自家长和老师的监督也会变少。你需要自己规划时间、安排学习节奏，而你怎么做，将直接决定你能取得多大的成功。但最重要的事从来没有变，那就是大胆去尝试，然后努力把它做好。”)”可知，文章建议高一新生勇敢尝试新事物。 话题2 语言与学习（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·辽宁沈阳·阶段检测）There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged. Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English. 1．When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ________. A．greenhouse B．foodstuff C．cupboard D．cookbook 2．According to the passage, in British English ________. A．the word “pissed” means angry B．the word “jacket” is often used C．the word “engaged” means tired D．the word “rubber” means eraser 3．What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Pargraph 2 mean? A．Wrote down B．Cared about C．Looked for D．Settled down 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The British way of using words. B．Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her. C．The reasons why Americans can’t follow the British at times. D．Some words used differently in British English and American English. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．D 【导语】文章通过作者与英国朋友的日常交流，列举了“larder”“rubber”等词汇，生动展示了英美英语在词汇使用上的差异，并提醒英语学习者注意这些不同，以便更好地进行跨文化沟通。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. (当伦敦的朋友Lily用“larder”这个词时，我并不知道它的意思。意识到我没有理解她，她换了一个词。我终于明白，她其实是想找个地方来存放一些食物。)”可知，Lily想找的是存放食物的柜子，cupboard意为“橱柜”，符合语境。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. (她问那个年轻男子有没有橡皮擦，能不能帮帮她。当她注意到对方没听懂时，她赶紧改口说要一块橡皮擦，因为在英国，橡皮擦通常被称为rubber。)”可知，在英式英语中，“rubber”的意思是“eraser(橡皮擦)”，D选项符合题意。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar.(她在日记本上____日期和时间，而我在日历上做标记。)”可知，在日记本上记录日期和时间，jotted down应与“写下”同义，wrote down符合语境，A选项“Wrote down(写下)”符合题意。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.(美式英语和英式英语之间存在一些差异。有些差异非常有趣。)”以及全文通过多个具体例子(如larder、diary、rubber、pissed等)展示了英美两国在词汇使用上的不同，可知文章主要讲述的是英美英语中一些词汇的不同用法，D选项“Some words used differently in British English and American English.(一些在英式英语和美式英语中用法不同的词语。)”符合题意。 Passage 2 （26-27高一上·黑龙江哈尔滨·阶段检测）On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrase book. But now, many simple, free apps are good news for those travellers. With these apps’ conversation mode, people talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later. Maybe the best-known app is Google Translate, though small mistakes can happen due to its word-for-word translation. Surprisingly, the best tool may not be a translation app at all. Though not marketed for that, ChatGPT, a generative AI system, can write messages in different languages, producing natural output like a native speaker. As AI translation becomes an even more popular labour-saving tool, society may divide into two groups. There will be those who want to fully experience other cultures. This group will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a different attitude: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” After all, most people do not move abroad or have an opportunity to experience a foreign culture deeply. On their holiday, they may just want a beer and spaghetti (意大利面). As a result, some experts are concerned that AI is leading to a decreasing interest in language learning. Writer Douglas Hofstadter has argued that something meaningful will disappear when people communicate through machines. He describes giving a disconnected, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would boast (吹嘘) of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma? While AI translation seems practical, we must recognize the social nature of language. When trying to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in awkward German, you are making direct contact with someone. The best relationships do not require a third party. 5．Which of the following best describes translation apps? A．Free but complex. B．Quick but imperfect. C．Creative but costly. D．Simple but time-consuming. 6．Why does the writer mention “beer and spaghetti” in paragraph 3? A．To present a conclusion. B．To suggest a possible situation. C．To offer a simple excuse. D．To provide another choice. 7．What can be inferred from Douglas Hofstadter’s opinion? A．Learning a foreign language proves less attractive. B．Reaching Mount Qomolangma by helicopter is fairly effortless. C．Using a foreign language independently is truly worthwhile. D．Making a speech in another language proves quite challenging. 8．What is the social nature of language according to the text? A．Connection between language users. B．Dependence on AI translation. C．Communication with the third party. D．Exchange of cultural information. 【答案】5．B 6．B 7．C 8．A 【导语】本文主要介绍AI翻译工具的优势，探讨其对语言学习的影响，强调语言承载人与人之间直接交流的社会属性。 【详解】5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With these apps’ conversation mode, people talk into a phone and a spoken translation is heard moments later. Maybe the best-known app is Google Translate, though small mistakes can happen due to its word-for-word translation.(借助这些应用的对话模式，人们对着手机说话，片刻之后就能听到语音翻译。也许最知名的应用是谷歌翻译，但由于逐字翻译，会出现一些小错误。)”可知，翻译软件翻译速度快，但存在缺陷，并不完美。 6．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“After all, most people do not move abroad or have an opportunity to experience a foreign culture deeply. On their holiday, they may just want a beer and spaghetti (意大利面).(毕竟，大多数人不会移居国外，也没有机会深入体验外国文化。度假时，他们可能只是想要一杯啤酒和一份意大利面。)”可知，作者举例描绘一类游客的需求，展示一种可能出现的情形，他们只需要简单交流，不需要学习外语。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He describes giving a disconnected, difficult speech in Chinese, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would boast (吹嘘) of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Qomolangma?(他讲述自己用中文发表一段不连贯且艰难的演讲，这需要付出大量努力，但最终带来成就感。谁会吹嘘乘坐直升机登上珠穆朗玛峰呢？)”可知，Douglas Hofstadter认为独立使用外语交流的过程虽辛苦，但收获的价值是AI翻译无法替代的，这样的经历才真正值得。 8．细节理解题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“While AI translation seems practical, we must recognize the social nature of language. When trying to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in awkward German, you are making direct contact with someone. The best relationships do not require a third party.(虽然人工智能翻译看似实用，但我们必须认识到语言具有社会性。当你用蹩脚的日语问路，或是用生硬的德语开玩笑时，你正在和他人进行直接交流。最好的关系不需要第三方。)”可知，语言的社会属性体现在语言使用者之间建立直接的联系。 Passage 3 （26-27高一上·山西太原·阶段检测）Today’s word, pan, takes us back to the days of the gold rush in California. On January 24th, 1848, a man named James Wilson Marshall discovered gold in the territory (地区) of California. The news spread quickly. Thousands rushed west. They traveled on foot, by horseback and by boat to reach the gold fields. By 1849, the great gold rush was on. Towns and cities grew overnight. Throughout the territory — in the mountains, along the streams and rivers — thousands of people searched for gold. Some found areas of mountain rock thick with gold. These men got rich. But such areas were few and quickly claimed (认领) by the first men to find them. Others searched for gold in the rivers coming down the mountains. They were after pieces of gold that the rains had washed down from above. The only way to find this gold was by panning. First a gold miner put dirt in a metal pan and added water. Then he shook the pan so that the water would wash the dirt. Slowly, he poured the water out of the pan. If he was a lucky miner, pieces of gold would remain. Across the nation, newspapers carried stories of the gold being found. One told how thousands of people climbed the mountains looking for gold. Some stories told how others followed the rivers and streams with pans. Each one hoped that the place he claimed panned out well — had some gold. For many, gold mining did not pan out. For a few, it panned out well. But in time, huge machines were built that could wash many tons of dirt at a time. Panning died out. The word, however, remained in the language. Today, Americans still say, “It panned out well,” when something they have done pleases them. A business, a discovery, a simple event pans out well if it is successful. Unhappily, sometimes things do not pan out. In recent years, the word pan has taken on another meaning. Today, it also means to criticize. How it got this meaning is hard to discover. But the job of a critic (评论家) is to sometimes pan the work of an artist, writer or singer. Words are living. They change and grow as our world changes. 9．What was the original meaning of the word “pan”? A．A flat metal container. B．To search for gold in rivers. C．To criticize a work severely. D．A successful mining project. 10．What does the phrase “panned out well” mean in modern English? A．The miners washed gold in pans. B．Gold could be found everywhere. C．Something turned out successfully. D．The mining method disappeared. 11．What can we learn about the meaning “to pan a piece of work”? A．It came from the gold-washing process. B．It was widely used during California Gold Rush. C．Its origin remains unclear. D．It described miners’ hard work. 12．What is the main idea of the text? A．The history of the California Gold Rush. B．Different ways to search for gold. C．Difficulties faced by gold miners. D．How the word “pan” developed new meanings. 【答案】9．A 10．C 11．C 12．D 【导语】文章主要围绕“pan”这个词的起源和演变进行说明，特别是它与加利福尼亚淘金热的历史联系，以及该词在现代语境下所获得的新含义。 【详解】9．细节理解题。根据第四段中“First a gold miner put dirt in a metal pan and added water. Then he shook the pan so that the water would wash the dirt.(首先，淘金者把泥土装进一个金属锅里，加入水，然后摇晃锅子，让水流冲走泥土)”可知，pan最初是淘金用的扁平金属容器。 10．词句猜测题。根据倒数第三段中“Today, Americans still say, “It panned out well,” when something they have done pleases them.(如今，美国人仍然会说：“It panned out well”，当他们完成某件事后感到满意时，就会这么说)”可知，现在美国人会在做的事合心意的时候说“It panned out well”，意思是某件事最终取得了成功。 11．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Today, it also means to criticize. How it got this meaning is hard to discover.(如今它也用来表示批评。其由来尚难考证)”可知，pan表示“批评”的新含义时起源很难考证。 12．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Today’s word, pan, takes us back to the days of the gold rush in California.(今天要讲的pan一词，将我们带回了加利福尼亚淘金热的时代)”和最后一段“Words are living. They change and grow as our world changes.(词语是活的。随着世界的变化，它们也在不断改变与成长)”可知，全文从加州淘金热时期pan的本义讲起，依次介绍了它后来衍生出的表“结果成功”、表“批评”的新含义，核心是讲解单词pan的词义发展过程。 话题3 家庭生活（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·海南海口·阶段检测）Recently, I saw several moms on the Internet criticizing (批评) parents who drive their kids to school. “It will spoil (宠坏) her,” one mom said. “She needs to be independent and catch the bus.” Many parents agree. After all, there are plenty of school buses filled with students in our small city. But unlike those other parents, I choose to drive my daughter, and have been doing so since she started primary school. I wake up early to drive her, and every afternoon, I wait in the car line to pick her up. I want to treasure this time with her while I can. These drives have become a special chance for us to connect. It’s a rare (罕见的) time when neither of us is doing anything else, and she is there just to listen to me. On the 10-minute drive to our local high school, I point out the first pink light of sunrise to my less-than-enthusiastic (不太感兴趣的) daughter. “Look at it! It’s so pretty,” I say. If I’m lucky, she’ll enjoy it with me, but most days she is a typical ninth grader — quiet, busy with her own thoughts, and giving one-word answers. To draw her out, I get creative with a new tradition. We soften Mondays and celebrate Fridays with an after-school stop at Starbucks for a mango drink or Dunkin’ for a strawberry treat. I ask questions in fun ways that let her share more. Sometimes I hear about a funny class moment, a problem in math, or a story from the gym. These drives are little moments of peace in her turbulent (躁动的) teenage life. We have our fights, and she might not enjoy these rides now as much as I do. But maybe one day she will remember them sweetly. Meanwhile, I’ll keep driving my daughter and make these days meaningful for both of us. 1．What makes the author different from other parents? A．The opinion on high schoolers using the Internet. B．The experience of teaching in primary school. C．The act of criticizing the traffic in her city. D．The habit of driving her kid to school. 2．What does the author’s practice result in? A．A messed-up work schedule. B．A closer relationship with her daughter. C．Her daughter’s greater enjoyment of learning. D．Disagreements between her and her friends. 3．Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Honest and quiet. B．Brave and curious. C．Caring and fun. D．Strict and serious. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Road Between Us B．The Morning at School C．A Fantastic Trip Through the City D．A Useful Suggestion for Parents of High Schoolers 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】文章讲述了作者坚持亲自开车接送女儿上下学，以此作为母女俩专属的沟通时间。尽管女儿正值青春期，作者仍用心创造温馨的小传统，努力拉近彼此距离，让这段接送时光成为她们情感连接的纽带。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Recently, I saw several moms on the Internet criticizing (批评) parents who drive their kids to school. (最近，我在网上看到几位妈妈批评开车送孩子上学的父母。)”以及第二段“But unlike those other parents, I choose to drive my daughter, and have been doing so since she started primary school. (但与其他父母不同，我选择开车送女儿上学，从她上小学开始就一直这样。)”可知，作者与其他父母的不同之处在于她坚持开车接送孩子的习惯。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“These drives have become a special chance for us to connect. (这些车程成了我们建立联系的特别机会。)”以及第五段“I ask questions in fun ways that let her share more. (我用有趣的方式提问，让她多分享一些。)”可知，作者的做法促进了母女间的沟通，结果是与女儿的关系更亲密。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I want to treasure this time with her while I can. (我想趁现在还能这样，好好珍惜和她共度的时光。)”以及第五段“To draw her out, I get creative with a new tradition. (为了引导她开口，我创造了一个新传统)”以及“I ask questions in fun ways that let her share more. Sometimes I hear about a funny class moment, a problem in math, or a story from the gym. These drives are little moments of peace in her turbulent (躁动的) teenage life.(我用有趣的方式提问，让她多分享一些。有时我会听到有趣的课堂瞬间、数学问题，或是体育馆发生的事。这些车程是她躁动的青春期生活中的片刻宁静。)”可知，作者既体贴关心女儿，又富有创意和趣味，C选项“Caring and fun.(体贴且有趣的)”符合题意。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述了作者坚持亲自开车接送女儿上下学，以此作为母女俩专属的沟通时间。作者坚持开车接送女儿上下学，核心并非单纯的道路或风景，而是在这条路上建立的母女情感连接与陪伴。A选项“The Road Between Us (我们之间的路)”既指物理上的上学路，也双关指代母女间沟通与理解的桥梁，富有文学性且完美概括，为最佳标题。 Passage 2 （26-27高一上·江苏连云港·阶段检测）The people who influence our lives are our parents, grandparents, teachers and close friends, and they play an important role in our growth. They lead by example, teaching us how to deal with difficulties, how to stay strong in the face of adversity, how to be wise, and how to care for the people around us. My dad taught me how to have fun with technology. He runs a small workshop where teenagers learn to build simple robots. Today my dad continues to influence me in positive ways. He has faced a challenging health problem over the past year, but he has carried on with his life in much the same way as before his illness, going about his daily work a bit slower and needing to take more rest, but still living his life the way he wishes. My grandfather taught me the value of being trusted. He worked as a village doctor for forty years, and everyone in the village believed in him. My mother influenced my life in a different way. She was quiet, loving and full of strength. When she spoke, I listened, as she did not speak unless she had something to say. My best friend has encouraged me to be brave and independent, to think for myself, and not to look to others for permission. She has also taught me to adapt to the ever-changing reality of our high school life, and she has met each challenge with courage and dignity. I have learned much from the people who have had an influence on my life. For all that I have learned and for the role they played and continue to play in my life, I am forever thankful. 5．What can be learned about the author’s father? A．His life has completely changed. B．His workshop has closed down. C．He needs to rest most of the day. D．He has some health problems now. 6．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean? A．She liked talking about daily little things. B．She only spoke when necessary. C．She was too shy to express herself openly. D．She often kept silent for no reason. 7．Why does the author mention her best friend in the paragraph? A．To show her friend’s positive influence on her. B．To complain about the changes of school life. C．To prove friendship is the most valuable thing. D．To explain how to ask for friends’ permission. 8．What does the text mainly talk about? A．The influence of great people around us. B．The advantages of being strong. C．The significance of holiday greetings. D．The author’s family background. 【答案】5．D 6．B 7．A 8．A 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者的父亲、祖父、母亲和好友等人如何以各自的方式对她产生积极影响，她对此深表感激。 【详解】5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He has faced a challenging health problem over the past year, but he has carried on with his life in much the same way as before his illness, going about his daily work a bit slower and needing to take more rest, but still living his life the way he wishes.(在过去的一年里，他面临着一个具有挑战性的健康问题，但他继续以与病前大致相同的方式生活，只是日常工作稍慢一些，需要多休息，但仍然按照自己希望的方式生活)”可知，作者的父亲现在有一些健康问题。 6．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“She was quiet, loving and full of strength. When she spoke, I listened, as she did not speak unless she had something to say.(她安静、充满爱心且坚强。当她说话时，我会倾听，因为她除非有话要说，否则不会说话)”可知，母亲说话不多，只在有必要时才开口。画线句“she did not speak unless she had something to say”意为“她只有在有话要说时才说话”，即她只在必要时说话。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段中“My best friend has encouraged me to be brave and independent, to think for myself, and not to look to others for permission. She has also taught me to adapt to the ever-changing reality of our high school life, and she has met each challenge with courage and dignity.(我最好的朋友鼓励我要勇敢、独立，要独立思考，不要指望别人允许。她还教会我适应高中生活不断变化的事实，她以勇气和尊严迎接每一个挑战)”可知，作者提到她最好的朋友是为了展示朋友对她产生的积极影响。 8．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The people who influence our lives are our parents, grandparents, teachers and close friends, and they play an important role in our growth.(影响我们生活的人是我们的父母、祖父母、老师和亲密的朋友，他们在我们的成长中扮演着重要角色)”以及全文内容可知，文章通过具体事例讲述了身边普通人（家人、朋友）对作者产生的积极影响，因此文章主要谈论的是身边对我们有重要影响的人。 Passage 3 （26-27高一上·山西·阶段检测）Researchers from the University of Western Australia recently studied 3,000 middle and high school students. Among them were 618 teenagers with one parent who lived away from home for long periods of time because of work. The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly-in, fly-out” parents might affect (影响) the health of their children. A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long-term absence of a parent had more emotional (情绪的) or behavioral problems than those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research that found teenagers were likely to feel anxious, or even annoyed when they often returned to an empty and quiet house after school so that they even had no interest in playing games. Findings also suggest that parents don’t have to be home all the time, but it helps to be home at certain times. And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant, which means keeping their company in silence. Many parents of teenagers have known this to be true and find ways to be present without trying to start a conversation. One friend of mine quietly does housework each evening in the sitting room where her teenagers watch TV. They enjoy each other’s company without the need to talk. Another friend usually accepts his daughter’s invitation to work or read nearby while she sits and does her homework. Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close and their methods of company won my likes. In fact, many years of research suggests that children use their parents as a safe base (基地) from which to explore the world. Studies tell us that young children, like babies, feel most at ease when their parents are still around. They don’t want to stay away from parents who allow them freedom. A new school year is at hand, so as parents, we could offer our teenagers a “potted flower” as a gift, whose quiet and steady presence will give them a great day. 9．What did the researchers try to find out about the 3,000 students? A．How many of them lived without parents. B．How parents’ absence influenced them. C．What jobs their parents liked doing. D．Whether parents helped do housework. 10．What might be the outcome for the kids with parents’ long-term absence? A．Being more responsible. B．Getting used to quietness. C．Having terrible feelings. D．Being addicted to playing games. 11．Who can be called “potted plant” parents? A．Those giving their kids much freedom. B．Those asking their kids to follow rules. C．Those always accompanying their kids. D．Those silently staying close to their kids. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards his friends’ ways of accompanying their kids? A．Supportive. B．Unacceptable. C．Doubtful. D．Worried. 【答案】9．B 10．C 11．D 12．A 【导语】文章主要介绍西澳大学关于父母长期缺位对青少年影响的研究，以及父母“沉默陪伴”对孩子成长的重要性。 【详解】9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The researchers wanted to know how the work of these “fly-in, fly-out” parents might affect (影响) the health of their children. (研究人员想要了解这些“往返通勤式”型父母的工作会如何影响他们孩子的健康)”可知，研究人员想要弄清楚父母的缺席会如何影响这些学生。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段“A higher percentage of teenagers who experienced the long-term absence of a parent had more emotional (情绪的) or behavioral problems than those whose parents worked more traditional hours. This supports earlier research that found teenagers were likely to feel anxious, or even annoyed when they often returned to an empty and quiet house after school so that they even had no interest in playing games. (与父母工作时间较为常规的青少年相比，经历父母长期缺席的青少年出现情绪或行为问题的比例更高。这印证了早期的研究：青少年放学后常常回到空荡荡、安安静静的家时，很可能感到焦虑甚至烦躁，甚至对游戏都失去兴趣)”可知，父母长期不在家的孩子可能会产生糟糕的情绪。 11．推理判断题。根据第三段中“And the best parental presence for a teenager may sometimes be like a potted (盆栽的) plant, which means keeping their company in silence. (对于青少年而言，父母最好的陪伴有时就像一盆盆栽，意思就是安静地陪伴在身边)”可知，“盆栽式”父母指安静地陪在孩子身边的父母。 12．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Perhaps, that, at least for some families, is the best way for a teenager and their parents to stay close and their methods of company won my likes. (或许，至少对一些家庭来说，这是青少年和父母保持亲密关系最好的方式，我很喜欢他们这种陪伴方式)”可知，作者对朋友的这种陪伴方式持支持的态度。 话题4 友谊与交友（共3篇） Passage 1 （26-27高一上·山东德州·阶段检测）Ella and Mia had been friends since childhood. While Mia was slow to express herself, Ella was the outgoing and active one. Despite these differences, they quickly learned to understand and accept each other. From playing in the park to exchanging secrets late into the night, their friendship developed. As the years passed, their bond deepened, and their lives became connected in ways they could never have predicted. However, when they entered high school, life took a sudden turn. Ella’s family faced financial struggles, and she was forced to move to a different town. The change was hard for Ella, but even harder for Mia, who had always depended on Ella for support. Ella was struggling to get used to a new town, while Mia stayed behind, feeling quite lonely. But despite the physical distance(距离), they refused to let their friendship become weak. One night, Mia received a call from Ella. It was bad news. Ella’s father had fallen ill, and the situation was serious. Ella, who was usually strong and independent, broke down on the phone. She didn’t know what to do. Mia didn’t hesitate(犹豫) for a second. She packed her bags and traveled to Ella’s town at once. She did whatever she could and helped Ella’s family with whatever they needed. From making meals to comforting Ella, Mia proved that true friendship stands up to all challenges. Ella’s father’s health gradually improved, but what remained etched (铭记在心的) on Ella’s heart was the support Mia had shown during her darkest days. Their friendship had always been strong, but this act of kindness strengthened their bond forever. Mia had shown her true colors — she was not just a friend; she was family. 1．How were Ella and Mia different from each other? A．Ella was careful and Mia was brave. B．Ella was outgoing and Mia was shy. C．Ella was quiet and Mia was talkative. D．Ella was creative and Mia was serious. 2．What does the underlined word “bond” mean in paragraph 2? A．A financial duty. B．A formal agreement on rules. C．A close emotional connection. D．Something that limits freedom. 3．Why did Ella move to another town? A．Her father changed his job. B．She got into a good high school. C．She wanted to make more friends. D．Her family ran into sudden trouble. 4．What lesson can we learn from the girls’ experience? A．A friend is a second self. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．Distance makes friendship either sweeter or weaker. D．Good friends make you feel comfortable about being yourself. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】文章主要介绍Ella和Mia自幼相识，性格不同却情谊深厚。Ella因家庭经济困难搬家，后来家中遭遇变故，Mia立刻前去陪伴相助，患难之中见证真挚友谊。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据原文第一段“While Mia was slow to express herself, Ella was the outgoing and active one.(米娅不善于表达自己，埃拉外向活泼。)”可知，埃拉外向，米娅腼腆。 2．词句猜测题。根据原文第二段“As the years passed, their bond deepened, and their lives became connected in ways they could never have predicted.(随着岁月流逝，她们的bond加深，两人的生活以未曾预料的方式紧紧相连。)”可知，本句的deepened和connected都体现情感层面，故推测bond指亲密的情感联系。 3．细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Ella’s family faced financial struggles, and she was forced to move to a different town.(埃拉一家陷入经济困境，她被迫搬到另一个城镇。)”可知，埃拉搬家是因为家里突遇困难。 4．推理判断题。根据原文第四段“She did whatever she could and helped Ella’s family with whatever they needed. From making meals to comforting Ella, Mia proved that true friendship stands up to all challenges.(她尽其所能，帮助埃拉一家满足各类需求。从做饭到安慰埃拉，米娅证明真正的友谊可以经受所有考验。)”可知，在埃拉遭遇困境时，米娅毫不犹豫赶来提供帮助，这正好印证谚语“A friend in need is a friend indeed (患难见真情)”。 Passage 2 （26-27高一上·河北沧州·阶段检测）Would your boss ever pay you to talk to your friends? A Swedish pharmacy company, Apotek Hjärtat, is testing that by setting up a “friendcare” try-out, aiming to see whether giving workers time for friendships can improve their well-being. Since April, the try-out has been giving 11 of its nearly 4,000 workers 15 minutes of paid time per week — or one hour a month — specifically to build friendships. They can use this time for phone calls, texting plans, or even meeting a friend in person. The company has also provided these workers with about $100 to cover activity costs during the one-year try-out. The idea came from a previous project with a mental (精神上的) health charity, which explored how short conversations between customers and pharmacists (药剂师) could reduce loneliness. Research shows that social connections are linked to greater happiness, health, and longevity, while loneliness raises the risk of mental illness and heart disease. In July 2025, the Swedish government put out its first national plan to fight loneliness. According to 2024 data, 6% of Swedes over 16 are frequently troubled by loneliness, 8% lack a close friend, and 13% have no one to share inner thoughts with. The plan calls for all parts of society to cooperate, and the health minister suggests that businesses should consider how loneliness affects both workers and customers. 5．What is the main purpose of the try-out? A．To reduce labor costs. B．To teach workers how to make friends. C．To encourage workers to work longer hours. D．To test if friendship time makes workers happier. 6．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How the try-out is carried out. B．Why building friendship is important. C．What value workers bring to a company. D．How much a company spends on workers yearly. 7．What inspired the company to start the try-out? A．Suggestions from its workers. B．A study on pharmacist-customer talks. C．A government plan to reduce loneliness. D．Data about mental illness and heart disease. 8．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Swedish people are lonelier than those in other countries. B．Loneliness is no longer just a problem for the elderly. C．Companies have already taken measures to reduce loneliness. D．The government believes loneliness is a serious social problem. 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．B 8．D 【导语】本文介绍了瑞典一家药房开展的“友谊关怀”试点项目。 【详解】5．细节理解题。根据第一段“Would your boss ever pay you to talk to your friends? A Swedish pharmacy company, Apotek Hjärtat, is testing that by setting up a “friendcare” try-out, aiming to see whether giving workers time for friendships can improve their well-being. (你的老板会付钱让你和朋友聊天吗？瑞典一家药房Apotek Hjärtat正在通过设立“友谊关怀”试点来测试这一点，旨在看看给员工时间建立友谊是否能改善他们的身心健康。)”可知，这项试点的主要目的是检验留给员工交友的时间能否让员工更幸福。 6．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Since April, the try-out has been giving 11 of its nearly 4,000 workers 15 minutes of paid time per week — or one hour a month — specifically to build friendships. They can use this time for phone calls, texting plans, or even meeting a friend in person. The company has also provided these workers with about $100 to cover activity costs during the one-year try-out. (自四月以来，该试点让近4000名员工中的11人每周获得15分钟带薪时间——或每月一小时——专门用于建立友谊。他们可以利用这段时间打电话、发短信制定计划，甚至与朋友见面。公司还为这些员工提供了约100美元，用于支付一年试点期间的活动费用。)”可知，本段介绍试点的具体实施办法。 7．细节理解题。根据第三段“The idea came from a previous project with a mental (精神上的) health charity, which explored how short conversations between customers and pharmacists (药剂师) could reduce loneliness. (这个想法来自之前与一家心理健康慈善机构的项目，该项目探索了顾客和药剂师之间的简短对话如何减少孤独感。)”可知，试点项目的灵感来源于一项关于药剂师与顾客对话的相关研究。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In July 2025, the Swedish government put out its first national plan to fight loneliness. (2025年7月，瑞典政府出台了首个抗击孤独的国家计划。)”以及“The plan calls for all parts of society to cooperate, and the health minister suggests that businesses should consider how loneliness affects both workers and customers. (该计划呼吁社会各界合作，卫生部长建议企业应考虑孤独如何影响员工和顾客。)”可推知，政府认为孤独是一个严重的社会问题。 Passage 3 （26-27高一上·四川南充·阶段检测）For most teenagers today, social media is as much a part of daily life as school or homework. A 2025 survey of 12,000 teenagers aged 13-18 from 15 countries found that the average teen spends 3.2 hours on social media every day. While social media offers many benefits, it also brings risks that need to be recognized. One of the biggest benefits of social media for teenagers is connection. For shy or lonely teens, in particular, social media can be a way to make friends with people who share their interests. Some teens even use social media for good — raising money for charity or spreading awareness about important issues like climate change. But there are also significant risks. Cyberbullying is a major problem: 45 percent of the teens surveyed said they had experienced it before. Overuse of social media can also lead to lack of sleep — 38 percent of teens surveyed said they got less than 7 hours of sleep a night, which is below the recommended 8-10 hours for teens. Mental health issues like anxiety and low self-esteem (自尊) are also linked to social media use, as teens often compare their lives to the “perfect” images they see online. Therefore, experts say that limitation is key. Parents can help their kids create a “social media schedule”. Schools should teach digital literacy, helping teens learn to spot fake news, protect their privacy, and deal with cyberbullying. Social media companies also have a responsibility: they can add features (功能) like time limits, hide harmful content, and make it easier for teens to report abuse. Generally, social media itself isn’t good or bad — it’s how teenagers use it that matters. When used wisely, it can be a tool for learning, connecting, and creating. But when overused or without caution, it can harm teens’ health and well-being. By working together, parents, teachers, and companies can help teenagers get the most out of social media while avoiding its risks. 9．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A．By quoting an expert. B．By giving an example. C．By referring to a survey. D．By making a comparison. 10．Which of the following statements about social media is true? A．Social media can help teens build friendships. B．Social media can well develop students’ leadership skills. C．Cyberbullying affects more than half of the teenagers surveyed. D．Teens with low self-esteem often see their perfect images online. 11．What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A．The importance of setting rules for social media use. B．How parents and schools can help protect teenagers online. C．The responsibility that social media companies should have. D．Different methods to help teenagers use social media properly. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards social media? A．Critical. B．Objective. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive. 【答案】9．C 10．A 11．D 12．B 【导语】文章介绍调查显示青少年每日长时间使用社交媒体。社交媒体有利有弊，家长、学校和平台需共同发力，引导青少年明智使用社交媒体，规避风险。 【详解】9．细节理解题。根据第一段“A 2025 survey of 12,000 teenagers aged 13-18 from 15 countries found that the average teen spends 3.2 hours on social media every day.(一项2025年针对来自15个国家12000名13至18岁青少年的调查发现，青少年平均每天花3.2小时使用社交媒体)” 可知，作者是借助一项调查引出文章话题。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段“For shy or lonely teens, in particular, social media can be a way to make friends with people who share their interests.(尤其是对于内向、孤单的青少年来说，社交媒体可以帮助他们结识志同道合的朋友)”可知，社交媒体能够帮助青少年建立友谊。 11．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Therefore, experts say that limitation is key. Parents can help their kids create a “social media schedule”. Schools should teach digital literacy, helping teens learn to spot fake news, protect their privacy, and deal with cyberbullying. Social media companies also have a responsibility: they can add features (功能) like time limits, hide harmful content, and make it easier for teens to report abuse.(因此，专家表示，管控是关键。家长可以帮助孩子制定一份“社交媒体使用时间表”。学校应当教授数字素养，帮助青少年学会识别虚假信息、保护个人隐私以及应对网络欺凌。社交媒体公司同样负有责任：它们可以增加时长限制这类功能，屏蔽有害内容，并简化青少年举报不良侵害的流程)”可知，本段介绍多方帮助青少年合理使用社交媒体的不同办法。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Generally, social media itself isn’t good or bad — it’s how teenagers use it that matters. When used wisely, it can be a tool for learning, connecting, and creating. But when overused or without caution, it can harm teens’ health and well-being. By working together, parents, teachers, and companies can help teenagers get the most out of social media while avoiding its risks.(总的来说，社交媒体本身并无好坏之分 —— 关键在于青少年如何使用它。如果合理使用，它可以成为学习、交流与创作的工具。但倘若过度使用或不加防备，就会损害青少年的身心健康。家长、教师和企业携手努力，就能帮助青少年充分利用社交媒体，同时规避它带来的风险)”以及通读全文，作者既介绍社交媒体带给青少年的好处，也阐述其存在的各类风险，最后说明社交媒体本身无好坏，关键在于使用方式，态度客观。 本题以“数字时代语音留言重塑人际情感联结”为背景，融合英语、社会学、传播学相关知识。引导学生体会作者从抗拒语音留言、亲身感受语音的温度，到阐释语音交流独特价值的认知变化过程，认识数字化沟通中真诚表达与情感传递的意义，并辩证思考信息技术对人际关系的双重影响，培养思辨性阅读能力、批判性思维以及人文共情意识。 （26-27高一上·河北沧州·开学考试）In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. Unlike typed messages that remove tone and warmth, a voice note carries the rhythm of a laugh, the softness of a sigh, and the unscripted (即兴的) sincerity of real speech — elements that make human connection feel genuine, even across miles. I used to avoid sending voice notes, overwhelmed by the fear of sounding awkward or unclear. But after receiving a random voice message from a friend living abroad, filled with the sound of their morning coffee and casual joy, I realized how eager I was for this kind of genuine connection. Such a simple audio greeting brought me more comfort than dozens of well-polished texts and instantly melted the loneliness brought by long-distance separation. Texting feels like a performance, where we edit and polish every word; voice notes let us be messy, human, and truly present for one another. What makes voice notes special is their non-real-time magic. They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later. A voice note isn’t just information — it’s a hug in audio form, a reminder that someone is thinking of you deeply enough to share their unedited self. In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” And in that small, intentional choice, we rebuild the human connection that technology so often threatens to erase. These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life. 1．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 2? A．She seldom talks with distant friends. B．She feared sending voice notes at first. C．She thought technology hurt relationships. D．She favors quick and thoughtless messages. 2．Why does the author think voice notes are special? A．They are much faster to send. B．They allow natural expression. C．They make talks more formal. D．They need immediate replies. 3．What does the author intend to show by mentioning “intentional choice”? A．Voice notes are more convenient to use. B．Technology improves connection greatly. C．Sincere communication takes time and care. D．People should refuse digital communication. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Voice Notes: Bringing Human Warmth to a Digital World B．Modern Technology: The Key to Editing Your Words Well C．Voice Notes: An Instant Messaging Tool for Urgent Business D．Personal Interactions: Why Speed Matters in Modern Communication 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了在数字化时代，语音留言以其真实、温暖和无需实时回复的特点，重建了人际情感连接，弥补了文字交流的不足。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第二段“I used to avoid sending voice notes, overwhelmed by the fear of sounding awkward or unclear. (我过去常常避免发送语音留言，总担心自己的发言听起来尴尬或者表意不清。)”可知，作者起初害怕发送语音留言。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Texting feels like a performance, where we edit and polish every word; voice notes let us be messy, human, and truly present for one another. (发短信感觉像是一场表演，我们编辑和润色每一个字；语音留言让我们可以随性自然、富有人情味，真诚地陪伴彼此。)”以及第三段“What makes voice notes special is their non-real-time magic. They let you speak without the pressure of an immediate reply, pour out thoughts at your own pace, and leave a piece of your world for someone to hold onto later.(语音留言的独特之处在于其非实时的魔力。它们让你在没有立即回复的压力下说话，按照自己的节奏倾诉想法，并将你生活的点滴片段留给对方之后慢慢感受)”可知，作者认为语音留言特殊是因为它们允许自然的表达。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a world that values speed over sincerity, choosing a voice note is an act of care. It says, “I value you enough to take the time, to be real, and to bridge the gap between screens with the sound of my voice.” (在一个重视速度胜过真诚的世界里，选择语音留言是一种关心的行为。它表明：“我足够重视你，愿意花时间，做真实的自己，并用我的声音来弥合屏幕之间的鸿沟。”)”可知，作者提到“intentional choice”是为了表明真诚的沟通需要时间和用心。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“In an era dominated by quick texts and brief emojis, voice notes have quietly emerged as a powerful solution to digital disconnection. (在一个以快速短信和简短表情符号为主导的时代，语音留言已经悄然成为解决数字时代人际疏离问题的有效良方)”以及最后一段“These short audio moments turn cold screens into warm conversations and bring hearts closer in our busy modern life. (这些短暂的音频时刻将冰冷的屏幕变成温暖的对话，并在我们忙碌的现代生活中拉近心灵的距离。)”可知，文章主要介绍了语音留言为数字世界带来人情温暖，“语音笔记：给数字世界带来人类温暖”最适合作为本文标题。 本题以“成人第二语言习得的最新研究成果”为背景，融合英语、神经科学、教育学知识。引导学生了解科研发现：成年人同样可以高效学习第二语言，认识家庭共学模式在语言习得中的独特优势，理解语言学习需要敢于试错、主动练习；辩证看待课堂学习与生活化沉浸式学习各自的价值，培养信息获取能力、批判性思维与终身学习意识。 （26-27高一上·四川绵阳·开学考试）As we all know, children are fast learners when learning a second language. However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports. Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can help people stay away from dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.    In an examination of Spanish second-language learners, the researchers found that after simple training, the brain activity between sentences that depended on grammatical features (特征) unique to each language was similar to that of native speakers. “I think it is the reason why people think university foreign language teaching is good. It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well,” said professor Alison Gabriele, the co-author of the paper.     Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort. Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings. National Geographic reports in an interview with Christine Jernigan, author of Family Language Learning: Learn Another Language, that as for immersion (沉浸) in language study, practicing a second language with people is the most important part, and who talks to each other more than a family? Language learners need to be brave. Besides, they should ready themselves for making mistakes and receive others’ advice.     Most people will be far more comfortable making mistakes around family members than in a classroom setting. Furthermore, any home activity, whether that’s gardening, playing in the yard, watching movies, going shopping, cleaning, or cooking a meal, becomes an opportunity for language learning. Jernigan suggests preparing vocabulary before an activity and using it as short homework. Jernigan suggests using subtitles (字幕) too, so you can see which words are being used. 1．What does the new study find? A．Kids often travel a lot with their parents and friends. B．Adults have learnt a second language better than kids. C．Adults can study a second language as quickly as kids. D．Kids are likely to develop increased neural connections. 2．What does Alison Gabriele think of learning a language in the college classroom? A．It can be successful. B．It has limited effect. C．It only focuses on grammar. D．It makes students bored. 3．What is the advantage of learning a language as a family effort? A．Helping kids to form good learning habits. B．Making parents control their kids easily. C．Keeping kids focused on the classroom more. D．Providing learning chances for all family members. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward adults learning a second language? A．Supportive. B．Against. C．Uninterested. D．Doubtful. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】文章打破“儿童是更好的二语学习者”的传统观念，指出成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快，并重点介绍了家庭式语言学习的优势，最后还给出了具体的练习建议。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, adults can study a second language as fast as children, a new study reports.(然而，一项新研究指出，成年人学习第二语言的速度可以和儿童一样快。)”可知，成年人学二语和儿童一样快。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“It shows that, even with limited time in the college classroom, learning can happen quite quickly and well(这表明，即使在大学课堂上的时间有限，学习也能迅速而有效地进行。)”可知，Alison Gabriele认为大学课堂里的语言学习是可以取得成功的。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Further research has shown that learning a language as a family effort improves everyone’s abilities and gives opportunities for learning something that are mostly absent from classroom settings.(进一步研究表明，全家共同努力学习一门语言，能够提升每个人的语言能力，还能提供一些课堂环境中大多缺失的学习机会。)”可知，家庭共同学习语言能提高每个人的能力并提供学习机会。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“Adults can develop the increased neural (神经的) connections with language study that can help people stay away from dementia (痴呆) by four years, as well as make traveling a lot easier.(成年人通过学习语言，可以增强神经连接，可将痴呆的发病时间推迟四年，同时也能让旅行变得更加轻松。)”、第三段“Beyond that, it gives parents more reasons to study a second language as part of a family effort.(此外，它还为父母提供了更多理由，让他们作为家庭共同努力的一部分来学习第二语言。)”以及最后两段具体给出家庭学习的方法和建议可推断，通篇都在阐述成年人学二语的益处和积极可能性，并给出实用建议鼓励大家去实践，可见作者持支持（Supportive）态度。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
