话题1高中校园生活(共3篇)
Passage 1
(26-27高一上·辽宁大连·阶段检测)High school students have a lot of choices for what they can do once the school day ends: they can study, do homework, participate in a sport, watch TV, work at a job, play video games, attend a club meeting and more. 1 Spending your time after school wisely can help you become better prepared for college and your future.
Students who participate in after-school activities often perform better in class compared to those who don’t. A study conducted in 2021 showed that high school students attending after-school programmes are less likely to drop out, have better attendance records, and have a more positive attitude towards school. They also often have an increase in the standardized test scores. 2
After-school activities can also increase your chances of being accepted into college because you can include your participation on your college applications. 3 Participating in an after-school activity is a great way to show your interests and academic motivation (学术动力).
4 For example, if you are interested in being a doctor, you can be a part of your school’s Science Olympiad team or volunteer at a hospital. You can find one that matches your interests from many after-school activities available, and learn some skills through practice.
Most importantly, participating in after-school activities gives you an opportunity to spend time with your friends as well as make new ones. Your participation often means you have a shared interest, such as volunteering or playing a sport. 5
A.These activities are constructive and meaningful.
B.Colleges love to see students who are active in activities.
C.Moreover, you can realize your dreams through these activities.
D.Besides, you will learn new skills from after-school activities.
E.So participating in an after-school programme can raise your grades.
F.Some of these activities are more useful and productive than others.
G.That can make it easier to be friends because you have something in common.

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)Learning a new language is always exciting at the beginning, but keeping up the motivation over a long period can be really challenging. The only way to keep your motivation is to make sure the learning is accessible and fun. 1
Change the language to your target language.
This is an easy one. By simply changing the language of your mobile phone, you are exposed to many different words and phrases in your target language. 2 Most of us navigate our way around our phone without a second thought anyway. Therefore, this should be a simple method of learning more without having to try too hard.
Listen to music.
This is probably what you’ve already done. 3 If you want to be more productive, you can find lyrics online and write them down. Even if you need to pause and search for words and phrases you don’t understand, this will aid you in your learning. Listening to music will not only widen your vocabulary, but also help with your grammar as you will begin to notice patterns. 4
Even if reading isn’t your favourite pastime (消遣), short stories are good because you can read them in one sitting. For those who are ready to move on to a more advanced level, you could even try to find books you have already read in your mother tongue. Since you’ve already known the storyline, you shouldn’t get confused. You could also get the audio book to accompany your reading. 5
A.Try to practise writing in your new language.
B.Read books designed for your language level.
C.Many of them will be easily added to your vocabulary.
D.However, listening here means listening actively.

【导语】文章主要说明了学习新语言开头容易,但长期维持动力很难。文中介绍三种趣味方法:切换手机语言、听歌学语言、阅读适配读物并搭配有声书学习。
【详解】
1.根据上文“Learning a new language is always exciting at the beginning, but keeping up the motivation over a long period can be really challenging. The only way to keep your motivation is to make sure the learning is accessible and fun.(学习一门新语言在开始阶段总是令人兴奋的,但长期保持学习动力却十分困难。维持动力的唯一方法就是保证学习门槛适中、充满乐趣)”可知,空前提到保持语言学习动力要让学习轻松有趣,F项“为此你可以在日常生活中尝试几种有趣的学习方式”承接上文,引出下文的具体方法,符合语境。
2.根据上文“This is an easy one. By simply changing the language of your mobile phone, you are exposed to many different words and phrases in your target language.(这是个简单的办法。只需把手机语言设置更改,你就能接触到目标语言里大量不同的单词和短语)”可知,空前提到把手机语言换成目标语言就能接触到很多目标语言的词汇短语,C项“其中很多词汇会很轻松地纳入你的词汇量”承接该做法的效果,逻辑通顺。
3.根据上文“This is probably what you’ve already done.(这或许是你已经在做的事)”以及后文“If you want to be more productive, you can find lyrics online and write them down. Even if you need to pause and search for words and phrases you don’t understand, this will aid you in your learning. Listening to music will not only widen your vocabulary, but also help with your grammar as you will begin to notice patterns.(如果你想提升学习效率,可以在网上找到歌词并抄写下来。即使你需要暂停,去查阅不懂的单词和短语,这也有助于你的学习。听音乐不仅能扩大词汇量,还对语法学习有益,因为你会慢慢留意到语言句式规律)”可知,空前提到听音乐可能是你已经在做的事,空后介绍要主动找歌词记录、查生词的高效做法,D项“然而这里的听指的是主动聆听”转折引出高效的主动学习方式,衔接自然。
4.根据后文“Even if reading isn’t your favourite pastime (消遣), short stories are good because you can read them in one sitting. For those who are ready to move on to a more advanced level, you could even try to find books you have already read in your mother tongue. Since you’ve already known the storyline, you shouldn’t get confused. You could also get the audio book to accompany your reading.(即便阅读不是你最喜欢的消遣方式,短篇小说也是不错的选择,因为你可以一口气读完。对于准备进阶学习的人,你甚至可以找那些母语版本已经读过的书。既然你已经了解故事情节,阅读时就不会感到困惑。你还可以搭配有声书辅助阅读)”可知,空位于段首,是该段的主题句,本段围绕阅读不同适配水平的读物展开,B项“阅读适配你语言水平的书籍”契合段落核心内容。

Passage 2
(26-27高一上·黑龙江·阶段检测)How to Practice English Speaking Alone
There are many ways that you can practice your spoken English by yourself! Here, we’ve gathered some of the best ways to work on your pronunciation and the fluency (流利) of your speech, even if no one else is around to hear you.
Speak in front of a mirror.
Pronouncing words correctly has a lot to do with getting your mouth in the right shape to make the necessary sound. By speaking in front of a mirror, you can see what your mouth is doing and correct what’s wrong. 1 That can help build your confidence without the stress of talking to a real partner.
Read aloud to yourself.
2 There are many words in English that are spelled differently than they sound. Reading aloud is a different kind of speaking practice, in that it helps you better understand how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken.
3
Play a video with a native speaker talking in English. After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat the sentence aloud. Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself. 4 It can take some time to get through even the shortest video like this, but you’ll get a lot of good English practice.
Narrate (叙述) your actions.
As you go about your day, pretend you’re a character in a novel and tell your “reader” about your every move. Don’t worry about getting everything grammatically correct. 5
A.Record your voice from time to time.
B.Listen to spoken English and repeat it back.
C.Pay attention to your movements in the mirror.
D.When you get one sentence right, move on to the next.
E.The mirror also makes you feel that you have a partner.
F.This gives you a chance to practice reading and speaking.
G.Instead, just work on expressing yourself and describing actions.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.B 4.D 5.G
【导语】文章主要介绍了四种独自练习英语口语的方法:对着镜子说话、大声朗读、听英语并跟读、叙述自己的行动。
【详解】
1.由上文“By speaking in front of a mirror, you can see what your mouth is doing and correct what’s wrong. (通过在镜子前说话,你可以看到嘴巴的动作并纠正错误。)”以及下文“That can help build your confidence without the stress of talking to a real partner. (这可以在没有与真实对话伙伴交谈的压力下帮助你建立自信。)”可知,本空要说镜子让你感觉有伙伴,E选项“The mirror also makes you feel that you have a partner. (镜子也让你感觉你有一个伙伴。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“also”表示递进,承接上文的纠音功能,且该选项中的“have a partner”与下文的“without the stress of talking to a real partner”相呼应,表示镜子模拟对话伙伴的作用。
2.由小标题“Read aloud to yourself. (大声朗读给自己听。)”以及下文“There are many words in English that are spelled differently than they sound. Reading aloud is a different kind of speaking practice, in that it helps you better understand how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken. (英语中有很多单词拼写与发音不同。大声朗读是一种不同的口语练习,因为它帮助你更好地理解英语单词的书写方式以及发音方式。)”可知,本空要说大声朗读让你同时练习阅读和口语,F选项“This gives you a chance to practice reading and speaking. (这给你提供了一个练习阅读和口语的机会。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“This”指代上文的“Read aloud”,且该选项中的“reading and speaking”与下文的“how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken”相呼应,表示朗读的双重练习效果。
3.由下文“Play a video with a native speaker talking in English. After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat the sentence aloud. (播放一个以英语为母语的人说话的视频。每句话后,暂停视频并大声重复句子。)”可知,本段主要讲听英语并跟读,B选项“Listen to spoken English and repeat it back. (听英语口语并跟读。)”能引出下文,符合题意,该选项作为小标题,与上下文的“Speak in front of a mirror”、“Read aloud to yourself”等保持一致的祈使句结构。
4.由上文“Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself. (倒回视频再听母语者说一遍,然后自己再重复一遍。)”以及下文“It can take some time to get through even the shortest video like this, but you’ll get a lot of good English practice. (即使是最短的视频,这样过一遍也可能需要一些时间,但你会得到很多很好的英语练习。)”可知,本空要说一句练好了再练下一句,D选项“When you get one sentence right, move on to the next. (当你把一句练对了,就继续下一句。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“get one sentence right, move on to the next”与上文的“After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat”和“Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself.”形成练习步骤的递进,且该选项解释了为什么“it can take some time”——因为需要逐句反复练习。
5.由上文“Don’t worry about getting everything grammatically correct. (不要担心每句话在语法上都正确。)”可知,本空要说相反,专注于表达自己和描述行动,G选项“Instead, just work on expressing yourself and describing actions. (相反,只需专注于表达自己和描述行动。)”能承接上文,符合题意,该选项中的“Instead”与上文的“Don’t worry about”形成转折对比,且该选项中的“expressing yourself and describing actions”与小标题“Narrate your actions”和上文“tell your ‘reader’ about your every move”相呼应,表示叙述行动练习的重点在于表达而非语法正确。
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·安徽阜阳·开学考试)How to Become a Better English Learner
Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 1 Classes are important, but so is consistent practice. It can even be enjoyable. Here are some guidelines to help you become a more effective English learner.
Study every day. Learning any new language takes time — more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results. 2
3 Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much at once; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable.
Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV shows can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4
Write it down. Repetition is key as you’re learning English, so writing is an excellent way to practice. 5 By making writing a habit, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time. You might even discover you have a talent for writing.
A.Keep things fresh and varied.
B.Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C.But with regular study, it can be done.
D.It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with listening comprehension.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar.
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.A 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文主要介绍高效学习英语的几条实用方法,倡导坚持每日学习、多样化学习方式,借助视听素材与书写练习提升英语水平。
【详解】
1.根据空前的“Learning a new language like English can be a challenge.(学习英语这样一门新语言会是一项挑战。)”以及空后的“Classes are important, but so is consistent practice.(课堂学习很重要,但持续练习同样重要。)”可知,前文点明学英语存在难度,后文阐述学习的要点,空格处需要进行语义转折,说明坚持学习就能够攻克难题。C选项“But with regular study, it can be done. (但是通过规律学习,这件事是可以实现的。)” 使用转折词承接上文挑战,自然引出下文学习建议,符合语境。
2.根据本段首句“Study every day.(每天学习。)”和空前的“Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results.(大多数专家建议进行短时、规律的学习以取得更好效果,而不是一周一两次突击复习几个小时。)”可知,本段主旨为每日短时学习,空格处需要对短时规律学习进行具体说明。F选项“As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time. (每天仅仅三十分钟,久而久之就能帮助你提升英语能力。)”承接专家给出的学习建议,给出具体的学习时长参考,契合本段主旨句,符合语境。
3.分析语篇可知,此处为本段的主旨句,和其他段落主旨句格式保持一致。根据空后的“Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up.(不要在整个学习时段只专注单一任务,尝试穿插不同学习内容。)”以及“The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable.(多样化的安排能让你保持专注,让学习更加有趣。)”可知,本段核心是学习内容要丰富多变。A选项“Keep things fresh and varied. (保持学习内容新颖且多样化。)”概括本段全部内容,适合作为本段小标题,符合语境。

话题3 家庭生活(共3篇)
Passage 1
(26-27高一上·黑龙江佳木斯·阶段检测)Our parents are often the foundational (基础的) people in our lives, providing love, support, and guidance from our first day. 1 It presents new challenges and opportunities for deeper connection. Understanding this change and development is necessary for navigating it successfully. Here are some practical strategies to help you build a strong and healthy relationship with your parents.
Communicate openly and honestly. To avoid misunderstandings, it’s crucial to be open with your parents about your feelings, opinions, and needs, while also making the space to hear theirs. Remember that effective communication is a two-way process that involves both talking and listening. 2 This means you’re truly trying to understand them, not just waiting to speak.
Spend quality time together. In our busy lives, it’s easy to let time slip by. Making an effort to spend quality time together is essential for creating lasting memories and strengthening your connection. The key here is “quality” over “quantity”. 3
Show appreciation and gratitude. Regularly expressing gratitude for the support and love they’ve provided can significantly strengthen your bond. 4 Instead of a general thanks, try being specific: “Thank you so much for helping me with the garden last weekend; I really appreciate you taking the time.”
5 No one is perfect, and that includes our parents. They have made and will make mistakes just as we all do. Patience is essential, especially when dealing with generational differences or moments of conflict. Breathe, let the small stuff slide, and choose love over being right; tomorrow you’ll be glad of what you did.
A.Practise patience and forgiveness.
B.A key part of this is practising active listening.
C.Figure out the underlying cause of your mistakes.
D.A simple and specific “thank you” can have a huge impact.
E.It’s not about how much time you spend, but how you spend it.
F.As we grow into adulthood, this relationship changes and develops.
G.Simply being present during difficult times can make a world of difference.
【答案】1.F 2.B 3.E 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了如何与父母建立牢固健康的关系,提出了四条实用策略:坦诚沟通、共度优质时光、表达感激之情以及练习耐心与宽容。
【详解】
1.由上文“Our parents are often the foundational people in our lives, providing love, support, and guidance from our first day.(我们的父母往往是我们生命中最基础的人,从我们出生起就给予爱、支持和指导。)”以及下文“It presents new challenges and opportunities for deeper connection.(它带来了新的挑战和更深层次连接的机会。)”可知,上文阐述了父母从小陪伴我们,下文用It引出新挑战,说明本空需要交代It所指代的内容并体现变化之意。选项F表示“随着我们长大成人,这种关系也随之改变和发展。”,既承接了上文的亲子关系,又和下文形成照应关系,符合题意。
2.由上文“Remember that effective communication is a two-way process that involves both talking and listening.(记住,有效沟通是一个双向过程,既包括说也包括听。)”以及下文“This means you’re truly trying to understand them, not just waiting to speak.(这意味着你真正试图理解他们,而不只是等着自己说话。)”可知,上文提到沟通包含听,下文进一步解释听的真正含义,本空需要提出倾听的具体方式。选项B表示“其中一个关键部分就是练习积极倾听。”,能承上启下,符合题意。

The key here is “quality” over “quantity”.(努力共度高质量的时光,对于留下长久回忆、增进彼此的感情至关重要。这里的关键在于‘质量’而非‘数量’。)”可知,上文提出陪伴重在质量而非时长。本空位于段末,需要对该观点展开说明。选项E表示“重要的不是你花了多少时间,而是你如何花这些时间。”,是对上文观点作出具体解读,能承接上文,符合题意。
4.由上文“Regularly expressing gratitude for the support and love they’ve provided can significantly strengthen your bond.(经常对他们给予的支持和爱表达感激,能显著加强你们之间的纽带。)”以及下文具体表达谢谢的方法“Thank you so much for helping me with the garden last weekend; I really appreciate you taking the time.(非常感谢你上周末帮我打理花园,我真的很感激你抽出时间。)”可知,上文说明表达感恩能够拉近亲子关系,下文强调感恩表达要具体化。空格需要衔接“表达感恩”与“感恩要具体”两层内容。选项D表示“一个简单而具体的‘谢谢你’就能产生巨大影响。”,文中的thank you是原词复现,能承上启下,符合题意。
5.本句在末段段首,是主旨句。根据本段其余内容“No one is perfect, and that includes our parents; they have made and will make mistakes just as we all do.

Passage 2
(26-27高一上·陕西榆林·开学考试)The Wonderful Habit of Family Reading
Are you searching for a meaningful activity that brings your family closer? 1 This simple practice offers far more benefits than you might imagine. It strengthens bonds and creates lasting positive effects for everyone.
2 Studies show that kids who read with their parents develop stronger language skills. They learn new words naturally and improve their writing abilities. These advantages continue throughout their academic years and beyond. Communication skills improve remarkably for all family members. Reading aloud helps children speak more clearly and confidently. They learn to express their ideas effectively. Even adults discover new ways to share their thoughts during discussions about the stories.
Family relationships grow deeper through shared stories. When you read together, you create warm memories that children will always treasure. 3 Parents also gain better understanding of their children's thoughts and feelings. Valuable life lessons come naturally through stories. Children learn about kindness from characters who help others. They understand courage from heroes who face challenges. These moral values guide them in their own lives and relationships.
Books offer incredible journeys to amazing places. Together, your family can visit ancient civilizations, explore ocean depths, or travel to distant planets — all from your comfortable home. 4
Make family reading your new tradition. Find out what your family enjoys reading. 5 Take turns reading aloud. Discuss the stories together. This habit will bring knowledge, warmth and happiness to your home for years to come.
A.Try reading together!
B.Act out book characters!
C.Reading together after dinner is better.
D.Choose interesting books that appeal to all ages.
E.This special time makes children feel secure and loved.
F.Reading regularly helps children perform better in school.
G.These adventures spark curiosity and create learning opportunities.

2.根据空后的“Studies show that kids who read with their parents develop stronger language skills. They learn new words naturally and improve their writing abilities. These advantages continue throughout their academic years and beyond.(研究表明,和父母一起阅读的孩子语言能力更强。他们自然习得新词,提升写作能力。这些优势会贯穿整个求学时期甚至更久。)”可知,本段主要讲述共读对孩子学业方面带来的积极作用,F选项“Reading regularly helps children perform better in school(定期阅读有助于孩子在学校表现更好)”总领本段内容,与后文语言、写作、学业方面的好处相呼应。

Passage 3
(26-27高三上·四川成都·开学考试)The Uselessness of Scolding: A Lesson from Doraemon
In the popular Japanese anime Doraemon, Nobita Nobi is a kind-hearted but terribly lazy and underachieving fourth-grader. He regularly scores zero on his tests, sleeps in class, and fails to complete his homework. 1 . “You lazybones! Why can’t you be more like your classmate Shizuka?” she often shouts, sometimes even hitting him. However, this daily cycle of punishment seems to produce no positive change. Nobita remains as unmotivated as ever, and his grades do not improve. This fictional scenario actually reflects a real psychological truth: parental scolding and physical punishment are largely ineffective in improving a child’s academic performance.
Why is this the case? First, frequent scolding creates a high-stress environment. 2 . When a child is constantly shouted at for low grades, their brain’s stress response system is activated. The energy that should be used for learning and problem-solving is instead diverted to defending against the perceived threat. Consequently, the child becomes less capable of absorbing new information, making the very thing the parent wants to improve — academic performance — even worse.
Second, punishment weakens a child’s intrinsic motivation. 3 . Punishment turns learning into an activity done to avoid pain, rather than to gain knowledge or satisfy curiosity. Over time, children begin to associate studying with fear and anxiety. 4 . They learn only to do the bare minimum to escape punishment, but never develop a genuine love for learning or the self-discipline needed for long-term success.
Third, harsh treatment severely damages the parent-child relationship. When a child feels constantly criticized and unloved, they lose trust in their parents. Instead of viewing their parents as safe supporters, they see them as judges. 5 . This breakdown in communication means that when the child truly struggles with a difficult subject, they are unlikely to turn to their parents for help. The parent loses the opportunity to guide and support their child effectively, and the child loses a crucial source of emotional security.
The lesson from Nobita’s story is clear: while parents may scold out of love and frustration, this method is counterproductive. More effective approaches involve patient guidance, praise for effort, and creating a supportive environment where a child feels safe to make mistakes and learn from them.
A.This constant criticism also makes the child lose self-confidence.
B.As a result, they lose the internal desire to study on their own.
C.The brain under threat is not in a state ready for effective learning.
D.Therefore, parents should consider using positive motivation instead.
E.This makes it far less likely that the child will seek their parents’ advice.
F.As a result, the child’s motivation shifts from learning to avoiding punishment.
G.His mother, Tamako, responds to this with endless scolding and occasional slaps.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.F 4.B 5.E
【导语】本文主要介绍了父母责骂和体罚对孩子学习无益,会制造高压、削弱内在动力并破坏亲子关系,应改用耐心引导等积极方式。
【详解】
1.上文“He regularly scores zero on his tests, sleeps in class, and fails to complete his homework. (他经常考试得零分,上课睡觉,而且完不成家庭作业)”描述了野比大雄的糟糕表现,下文““You lazybones! Why can’t you be more like your classmate Shizuka?” she often shouts, sometimes even hitting him. (“你这个懒骨头!你为什么不能像你的同学静香那样?”她经常大喊,有时甚至打他)”提到了一位女性对他的责骂和体罚,G选项“His mother, Tamako, responds to this with endless scolding and occasional slaps. (他的母亲玉子对此的回应是无休止的责骂和偶尔的耳光)”中的His mother, Tamako与下文she对应,且具体说明了母亲的反应,承接了上文的糟糕表现,符合语境。
2.上文“First, frequent scolding creates a high-stress environment. (首先,频繁的责骂会制造一个高压环境)”提到高压环境,下文“When a child is constantly shouted at for low grades, their brain’s stress response system is activated. (当一个孩子因为低分而不断被吼叫时,他们大脑的应激反应系统就会被激活)”解释了大脑在威胁下的反应,C选项“The brain under threat is not in a state ready for effective learning. (处于威胁下的大脑并没有准备好进行有效学习的状态)”中的The brain under threat与下文their brain’s stress response system is activated相呼应,且解释了高压环境对学习的负面影响,符合语境。
3.上文“Second, punishment weakens a child’s intrinsic motivation. (其次,惩罚会削弱孩子的内在动力)”提到内在动力被削弱,F选项“As a result, the child’s motivation shifts from learning to avoiding punishment. (结果,孩子的动力从学习转移到了逃避惩罚)”中的motivation与上文intrinsic motivation相呼应,且具体说明了动力如何转移,符合语境。
4.上文“Punishment turns learning into an activity done to avoid pain, rather than to gain knowledge or satisfy curiosity. Over time, children begin to associate studying with fear and anxiety. (惩罚把学习变成了一种为了避免痛苦而进行的活动,而不是为了获取知识或满足好奇心。随着时间的推移,孩子们开始把学习和恐惧、焦虑联系起来)”说明学习目的变成了逃避痛苦,下文“They learn only to do the bare minimum to escape punishment, but never develop a genuine love for learning or the self-discipline needed for long-term success. (他们学习只是为了做最少的事情来逃避惩罚,但从未培养出对学习的真正热爱或长期成功所需的自律)”进一步说明孩子只做表面功夫逃避惩罚,B选项“As a result, they lose the internal desire to study on their own. (结果,他们失去了自主学习的内在渴望)”中的internal desire与上文intrinsic motivation相呼应,且解释了失去内在渴望的结果,符合语境。
5.上文“When a child feels constantly criticized and unloved, they lose trust in their parents. Instead of viewing their parents as safe supporters, they see them as judges. (当孩子感到不断被批评且不被爱时,他们会对父母失去信任。他们不再把父母视为安全的支持者,而是把他们视为法官)”提到孩子把父母当法官,下文“This breakdown in communication means that when the child truly struggles with a difficult subject, they are unlikely to turn to their parents for help. (这种沟通的破裂意味着,当孩子真的在某一科目上遇到困难时,他们不太可能向父母寻求帮助)”说明孩子不会向父母求助,E选项“This makes it far less likely that the child will seek their parents’ advice. (这使得孩子寻求父母建议的可能性大大降低)”中的This指代上文孩子不信任父母、将父母视作法官这一情况,且seek their parents’ advice与下文turn to their parents for help相呼应,符合语境。

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·山西大同·期中)Having strong friendships is important for two main reasons. 1 . We can share happy moments with people we care about, which can enrich our everyday experiences. Second, our friends help us through the difficult times. Having friends to support us through hard times can make unimaginably difficult situations seem much easier to face.
As we explore friendships today, I believe that friendships are also the foundation (基础) for healthy relationships. 2 ? This might sound silly, but finding friends can be challenging! When I first moved to California for my Ph. D., I didn’t have any friends out there. There were quite a few people in my program that I enjoyed spending time with. 3 . This forced me to look for other ways to connect. I ended up finding a local hiking group, hoping to meet people with similar interests. During one of these hikes, I met Jim, one of my best friends to this day.
Over the years, Jim and I have always supported each other. 4 . We both view the friendship as one that makes each other’s lives better. Therefore, it’s always worth the time and energy. The backbone of any successful friendship is one where both sides put in equal effort and support.
Even when Jim moved to the East Coast, our friendship remained strong. Because we already had built such a strong foundation, the distance didn’t impact our friendship. 5 . Like anything in life that is valuable to us, we know that maintaining a friendship takes time and effort.
A.So, where do we find friends
B.First, they make life more enjoyable
C.We still see each other several times a year
D.Does this mean that they really are your friends
E.How we communicate with them has changed a lot
F.More importantly, we always make time for one another
G.However, they were too busy with their work to focus on friendships
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.G 4.F 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者自身的交友经历阐述如何建立深厚的友谊。
【详解】1.根据空前“Having strong friendships is important for two main reasons.(拥有牢固的友谊很重要,主要有两个原因)”及空后“We can share happy moments with people we care about, which can enrich our everyday experiences. Second, our friends help us through the difficult times.(我们可以与我们关心的人分享快乐的时刻,这可以丰富我们的日常经历。第二,我们的朋友帮助我们度过困难时期)”可知,空处应是提及第一个原因,B项“首先,它们使生活更愉快”正好对应“第一”这一顺序,并引出后文分享快乐时光的描述,衔接自然。故选B。
2.根据空前“As we explore friendships today, I believe that friendships are also the foundation (基础) for healthy relationships.(当我们今天探讨友谊时,我相信友谊也是健康关系的基础)”及空后“This might sound silly, but finding friends can be challenging!(这可能听起来很傻,但找朋友是很有挑战性的!)”可知,前文提到友谊的重要性,下文提到结交朋友很有挑战性,A项“所以,我们去哪里找朋友”既承接主题,又引出作者的亲身交友经历,符合设问需要。故选A。
3.根据空前“There were quite a few people in my program that I enjoyed spending time with.(在我的项目中,有很多人我都很喜欢和他们在一起)”及空后“This forced me to look for other ways to connect.(这迫使我寻找其他的联系方式)”可知,G项“然而,他们工作太忙,无暇顾及友谊”用However表示转折,说明虽然作者愿意与系里同学接近,但他们都忙于学业无暇交友,正好解释被迫另寻他法的原因,逻辑顺畅。故选G。
4.根据空后“We both view the friendship as one that makes each other’s lives better. Therefore, it’s always worth the time and energy. The backbone of any successful friendship is one where both sides put in equal effort and support.(我们都认为友谊能让彼此的生活更美好。因此,花时间和精力总是值得的。任何成功友谊的基石都是双方付出同样的努力和支持)”可知,本段强调双方如何维系友谊。F项“更重要的是,我们总是为彼此腾出时间”用More importantly表示递进,点出“始终为对方留时间”这一关键行动,与后文“Therefore, it’s always worth the time and energy.(因此,花时间和精力总是值得的)”呼应,过渡自然。故选F。
5.根据空前“Because we already had built such a strong foundation, the distance didn’t impact our friendship.(因为我们已经建立了如此坚实的基础,距离并没有影响我们的友谊)”可知,此处需要补充我们仍保持见面的具体事实,以证明友谊长存。C项“我们仍然一年见几次面”提供这一细节,既承接前句,又引出文末的总结。故选C。
本题以“割草机式父母” 这一新型育儿概念为背景,融合英语、心理学与家庭教育知识。引导学生对比 “直升机式父母” 与“割草机式父母” 的异同,认识到父母提前扫清所有障碍会剥夺孩子直面挫折的机会,不利于培养独立解决问题的能力;在完成七选五任务过程中,训练学生把握篇章结构、理清句间逻辑、抓取段落主旨的阅读能力,学会辨别观点、论据与例证,培养批判性思维,树立科学的家庭教育观与挫折教育理念。
(2026·云南·二模)What Is a Lawnmower (割草机) Parent?
You’ve heard of the “helicopter parent” — those overprotective caregivers who swoop in the moment their child meets a problem. Now a new term is sweeping playgrounds across the US: the “lawnmower parent.” 1
Lawnmower parents get their name because they mow down all challenges, conflicts or struggles their children might face before the kids have to deal with them themselves. Unlike helicopter parents who only keep a close watch, they completely remove obstacles before their kids even see them. 2 For example, a dad once rushed to school with an expensive water bottle just because his teen complained about the school’s water fountains. True story!
This parenting style comes from deep love, but it brings serious long-term harm to kids’ growth. Clinical psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Cohen says adults raised by lawnmower parents often struggle with basic life difficulties. 3 “When parents take away all conflict, kids lose the key skill of handling frustration and disappointment,” she explains.
Many parents don’t even notice they’re acting this way. I’ll admit I’ve been both a helicopter and a lawnmower parent to my 3-year-old son. 4 I even asked others to blow on his hot sweet potato fries when I stepped away for a second. This bad habit starts early, even with little kids on the playground.
Letting kids face challenges is the only way to help them grow into independent, healthy adults. 5 It may be tough at the beginning. It’s never easy to stand by while your kid goes through a hard time, but the ability to deal with setbacks is the most valuable life skill you can give them.
A.They should seek suggestions from their parents.
B.They can’t handle workplace stress or difficult relationships well.
C.I’ve had similar overly protective moments with my own kid.
D.The best time to break this parenting pattern is right now.
E.Many parents pick up this parenting style from their own families.
F.It describes an even more over-involved parenting style than helicopter parenting.
G.These parents take extreme steps to keep their kids from any discomfort.

(25-26高一上·江苏常州·阶段检测)I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista (咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte (拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. 1 Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face.
People like this are called “consequential (重要的) strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. 2 We may only know some of them for a short time, while others may become longstanding parts of our lives.
Like me, counsellor Tina Chunmun has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important subsequent stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective from me,” she explains. 3 So we get to hear new perspectives. These interactions are emotionally beneficial as well. For instance, the consequential strangers in my life not only help me feel a stronger sense of belonging to my community, but also help with loneliness. And some of these connections could potentially become supportive relationships we can turn to for help.
“ 4 ,” says Tina. “If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is.” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a very brief exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence. Of course, not every consequential stranger is going to become a good friend and that’s OK. Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. 5 .
A.And that in itself is well worth celebrating.
B.It helps a person to feel much less lonely.
C.This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well.
D.The key is to start with small, common topics.
E.They come in different forms and appear in various situations.
F.Their views can challenge our own and help us see things differently.
G.These people are important because they bring fresh ideas and perspectives.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.F 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章以作者遇见咖啡师感到愉悦的经历开篇,引出“重要陌生人”这一概念,阐述了这些日常短暂互动者能带来归属感、不同视角和情感益处,并鼓励从微小话题开始交流,肯定其本身的价值。
【详解】1.上文“I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista (咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte (拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. (我一见到那位知道我的名字和点单的咖啡师打招呼,就笑了。当我拿着拿铁走向桌子时,脚步都感觉轻快起来)”描述了作者因与熟悉的咖啡师互动而感到愉悦的亲身经历。C选项“This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well. (这种感觉你在日常生活中也可能体验到)”顺承上文,将作者的个人体验扩展到读者身上,暗示这种因日常接触而产生的愉快感觉是普遍的,从而自然引出下文“Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily...”对读者的直接论述。该句起到了从具体事例过渡到普遍现象的作用。故选C项。
2.上文“People like this are called “consequential (重要的) strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. (像这样的人被称为“重要的陌生人”。他们可能是你聊天的邻居,甚至是你在健身房经常与之闲聊的人)”对“重要陌生人”进行了定义并举例。E选项“They come in different forms and appear in various situations. (他们以不同的形式出现,出现在各种场合中)”承接上文,进一步概括了这类人群的特点:形式多样、场合各异。这与上文的举例(邻居、健身房的人)相呼应,并解释了为何有如此多样的例子。下文“We may only know some of them for a short time, while others may become longstanding parts of our lives.(我们可能只认识其中一些人很短的时间,而另一些人可能会成为我们生活中长期存在的一部分)”则是对其关系持续时间的描述。故选E项。
3.上文“Like me, counsellor Tina Chunmun has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important subsequent stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective from me,” she explains. (和我一样,咨询师蒂娜·春蒙发现,她经常见到的咖啡师对她来说是一个重要的陌生人。“我相信咖啡师的反馈,因为她有一个与我完全不同的视角,”她解释道)”引用了蒂娜的例子,并点明核心:咖啡师的“different perspective”。F选项“Their views can challenge our own and help us see things differently. (他们的观点可以挑战我们自己的,并帮助我们以不同的方式看待事物)”顺承并阐释了“different perspective”的价值——挑战既有观点,带来新的视角,并与下文“So we get to hear new perspectives. (所以我们可以听到新的观点)”直接呼应。故选F项。
4.下文““If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is.”(“如果你在火车站等火车,你可以开始谈论延误是多么烦人。”)”是一个具体例子,说明了如何开启对话:从谈论一个“小”而“普遍”的话题 (火车延误)开始。D选项“The key is to start with small, common topics. (关键是从微小、普遍的话题开始)”作为蒂娜所说的话的引子或概括,点明了开启与陌生人对话的核心策略。下文的例子正是对D选项的具体说明。故选D项。
5.上文“Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. (尽管如此,他们是你生命中宝贵的一部分,能够让你微笑并感受到一种联系)”总结了“重要陌生人”即便不成为密友也依然具有的价值(带来微笑和连接感)。A选项“And that in itself is well worth celebrating. (而这本身就非常值得庆贺)”以强有力的肯定句作结,对上述价值进行升华,强调了这种“微笑和连接感”本身的意义就值得珍视和庆祝,给全文一个积极而有力的收尾。故选A项。

话题1高中校园生活(共3篇)
Passage 1
(26-27高一上·辽宁大连·阶段检测)High school students have a lot of choices for what they can do once the school day ends: they can study, do homework, participate in a sport, watch TV, work at a job, play video games, attend a club meeting and more. 1 Spending your time after school wisely can help you become better prepared for college and your future.
Students who participate in after-school activities often perform better in class compared to those who don’t. A study conducted in 2021 showed that high school students attending after-school programmes are less likely to drop out, have better attendance records, and have a more positive attitude towards school. They also often have an increase in the standardized test scores. 2
After-school activities can also increase your chances of being accepted into college because you can include your participation on your college applications. 3 Participating in an after-school activity is a great way to show your interests and academic motivation (学术动力).
4 For example, if you are interested in being a doctor, you can be a part of your school’s Science Olympiad team or volunteer at a hospital. You can find one that matches your interests from many after-school activities available, and learn some skills through practice.
Most importantly, participating in after-school activities gives you an opportunity to spend time with your friends as well as make new ones. Your participation often means you have a shared interest, such as volunteering or playing a sport. 5

Passage 3
(26-27高一上·辽宁沈阳·阶段检测)Tips to Crush Freshman Year
So it’s your first year of high school. What skills do you need to succeed? Making the transition from middle school can feel challenging. 1
Get Involved & Say “Yes” to New Opportunities
Your school has more extra-curricular activities than middle school. Think about what you really love and jump right in. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone — Senior one is a perfect fresh start, and no one expects you to be an expert right away. If you’re new to a team or club, lean on more experienced members; they were once where you are. 2
Get to Know Your Teachers
Teachers aren’t just there to grade papers — they can be guides and mentors if you make the effort to connect with them. Participate in class, ask good questions, and seek extra help during free periods or office hours. 3 Every main character needs a great guide.
Build Good Habits Early
Look, we know good habits aren’t exactly exciting. But starting early? It makes a huge difference. 4 It should cover homework, extra-curricular activities, friends, downtime, and yeah, sleep. You might feel fine now, but trust us: by Senior three, you’ll be glad you got your act together early.
Check in With Yourself & Protect Your Wellness
At some point, you’ll face challenges — academic, social, or personal. Ask for help when you need it. Teachers, counselors, and parents are great resources. 5 If you feel overwhelmed, share how you’re feeling with trusted supporters.

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)Learning a new language is always exciting at the beginning, but keeping up the motivation over a long period can be really challenging. The only way to keep your motivation is to make sure the learning is accessible and fun. 1
Change the language to your target language.
This is an easy one. By simply changing the language of your mobile phone, you are exposed to many different words and phrases in your target language. 2 Most of us navigate our way around our phone without a second thought anyway. Therefore, this should be a simple method of learning more without having to try too hard.
Listen to music.
This is probably what you’ve already done. 3 If you want to be more productive, you can find lyrics online and write them down. Even if you need to pause and search for words and phrases you don’t understand, this will aid you in your learning. Listening to music will not only widen your vocabulary, but also help with your grammar as you will begin to notice patterns. 4
Even if reading isn’t your favourite pastime (消遣), short stories are good because you can read them in one sitting. For those who are ready to move on to a more advanced level, you could even try to find books you have already read in your mother tongue. Since you’ve already known the storyline, you shouldn’t get confused. You could also get the audio book to accompany your reading. 5
A.Try to practise writing in your new language.
B.Read books designed for your language level.
C.Many of them will be easily added to your vocabulary.
D.However, listening here means listening actively.
E.Here are three ways to help you learn spoken language quickly.
F.To do this, you can try several enjoyable ways to study in daily life.
G.In this way you can improve your listening skills at the same time.
Passage 2
(26-27高一上·黑龙江·阶段检测)How to Practice English Speaking Alone
There are many ways that you can practice your spoken English by yourself! Here, we’ve gathered some of the best ways to work on your pronunciation and the fluency (流利) of your speech, even if no one else is around to hear you.
Speak in front of a mirror.
Pronouncing words correctly has a lot to do with getting your mouth in the right shape to make the necessary sound. By speaking in front of a mirror, you can see what your mouth is doing and correct what’s wrong. 1 That can help build your confidence without the stress of talking to a real partner.
Read aloud to yourself.
2 There are many words in English that are spelled differently than they sound. Reading aloud is a different kind of speaking practice, in that it helps you better understand how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken.
3
Play a video with a native speaker talking in English. After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat the sentence aloud. Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself. 4 It can take some time to get through even the shortest video like this, but you’ll get a lot of good English practice.
Narrate (叙述) your actions.
As you go about your day, pretend you’re a character in a novel and tell your “reader” about your every move. Don’t worry about getting everything grammatically correct. 5
A.Record your voice from time to time.
B.Listen to spoken English and repeat it back.
C.Pay attention to your movements in the mirror.
D.When you get one sentence right, move on to the next.
E.The mirror also makes you feel that you have a partner.
F.This gives you a chance to practice reading and speaking.
G.Instead, just work on expressing yourself and describing actions.
Passage 3
(25-26高二上·安徽阜阳·开学考试)How to Become a Better English Learner
Learning a new language like English can be a challenge. 1 Classes are important, but so is consistent practice. It can even be enjoyable. Here are some guidelines to help you become a more effective English learner.
Study every day. Learning any new language takes time — more than 300 hours by some estimates. Rather than trying to cram a few hours of review once or twice a week, most experts recommend short, regular study sessions for better results. 2
3 Instead of focusing on one single task for your entire study session, try mixing things up. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much at once; 20 minutes on three different exercises is plenty. The variety will keep you engaged and make studying more enjoyable.
Read, watch, and listen. Reading English-language newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV shows can also help you improve your written and verbal comprehension skills. 4
Write it down. Repetition is key as you’re learning English, so writing is an excellent way to practice. 5 By making writing a habit, you’ll also find your reading and comprehension skills improve over time. You might even discover you have a talent for writing.
A.Keep things fresh and varied.
B.Play vocabulary and grammar games.
C.But with regular study, it can be done.
D.It doesn’t matter whether you use a computer or pen and paper.
E.Non-native English speakers sometimes struggle with listening comprehension.
F.As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
G.By doing so repeatedly, you’ll absorb things like speech patterns, accents, and grammar.
话题3 家庭生活(共3篇)
Passage 1
(26-27高一上·黑龙江佳木斯·阶段检测)Our parents are often the foundational (基础的) people in our lives, providing love, support, and guidance from our first day. 1 It presents new challenges and opportunities for deeper connection. Understanding this change and development is necessary for navigating it successfully. Here are some practical strategies to help you build a strong and healthy relationship with your parents.
Communicate openly and honestly. To avoid misunderstandings, it’s crucial to be open with your parents about your feelings, opinions, and needs, while also making the space to hear theirs. Remember that effective communication is a two-way process that involves both talking and listening. 2 This means you’re truly trying to understand them, not just waiting to speak.
Spend quality time together. In our busy lives, it’s easy to let time slip by. Making an effort to spend quality time together is essential for creating lasting memories and strengthening your connection. The key here is “quality” over “quantity”. 3
Show appreciation and gratitude. Regularly expressing gratitude for the support and love they’ve provided can significantly strengthen your bond. 4 Instead of a general thanks, try being specific: “Thank you so much for helping me with the garden last weekend; I really appreciate you taking the time.”
5 No one is perfect, and that includes our parents. They have made and will make mistakes just as we all do. Patience is essential, especially when dealing with generational differences or moments of conflict. Breathe, let the small stuff slide, and choose love over being right; tomorrow you’ll be glad of what you did.
A.Practise patience and forgiveness.
B.A key part of this is practising active listening.
C.Figure out the underlying cause of your mistakes.
D.A simple and specific “thank you” can have a huge impact.
E.It’s not about how much time you spend, but how you spend it.
F.As we grow into adulthood, this relationship changes and develops.
G.Simply being present during difficult times can make a world of difference.
Passage 2
(26-27高一上·陕西榆林·开学考试)The Wonderful Habit of Family Reading
Are you searching for a meaningful activity that brings your family closer? 1 This simple practice offers far more benefits than you might imagine. It strengthens bonds and creates lasting positive effects for everyone.
2 Studies show that kids who read with their parents develop stronger language skills. They learn new words naturally and improve their writing abilities. These advantages continue throughout their academic years and beyond. Communication skills improve remarkably for all family members. Reading aloud helps children speak more clearly and confidently. They learn to express their ideas effectively. Even adults discover new ways to share their thoughts during discussions about the stories.
Family relationships grow deeper through shared stories. When you read together, you create warm memories that children will always treasure. 3 Parents also gain better understanding of their children's thoughts and feelings. Valuable life lessons come naturally through stories. Children learn about kindness from characters who help others. They understand courage from heroes who face challenges. These moral values guide them in their own lives and relationships.
Books offer incredible journeys to amazing places. Together, your family can visit ancient civilizations, explore ocean depths, or travel to distant planets — all from your comfortable home. 4
Make family reading your new tradition. Find out what your family enjoys reading. 5 Take turns reading aloud. Discuss the stories together. This habit will bring knowledge, warmth and happiness to your home for years to come.
A.Try reading together!
B.Act out book characters!
C.Reading together after dinner is better.
D.Choose interesting books that appeal to all ages.
E.This special time makes children feel secure and loved.
F.Reading regularly helps children perform better in school.
G.These adventures spark curiosity and create learning opportunities.
Passage 3
(26-27高三上·四川成都·开学考试)The Uselessness of Scolding: A Lesson from Doraemon
In the popular Japanese anime Doraemon, Nobita Nobi is a kind-hearted but terribly lazy and underachieving fourth-grader. He regularly scores zero on his tests, sleeps in class, and fails to complete his homework. 1 . “You lazybones! Why can’t you be more like your classmate Shizuka?” she often shouts, sometimes even hitting him. However, this daily cycle of punishment seems to produce no positive change. Nobita remains as unmotivated as ever, and his grades do not improve. This fictional scenario actually reflects a real psychological truth: parental scolding and physical punishment are largely ineffective in improving a child’s academic performance.
Why is this the case? First, frequent scolding creates a high-stress environment. 2 . When a child is constantly shouted at for low grades, their brain’s stress response system is activated. The energy that should be used for learning and problem-solving is instead diverted to defending against the perceived threat. Consequently, the child becomes less capable of absorbing new information, making the very thing the parent wants to improve — academic performance — even worse.
Second, punishment weakens a child’s intrinsic motivation. 3 . Punishment turns learning into an activity done to avoid pain, rather than to gain knowledge or satisfy curiosity. Over time, children begin to associate studying with fear and anxiety. 4 . They learn only to do the bare minimum to escape punishment, but never develop a genuine love for learning or the self-discipline needed for long-term success.
Third, harsh treatment severely damages the parent-child relationship. When a child feels constantly criticized and unloved, they lose trust in their parents. Instead of viewing their parents as safe supporters, they see them as judges. 5 . This breakdown in communication means that when the child truly struggles with a difficult subject, they are unlikely to turn to their parents for help. The parent loses the opportunity to guide and support their child effectively, and the child loses a crucial source of emotional security.
The lesson from Nobita’s story is clear: while parents may scold out of love and frustration, this method is counterproductive. More effective approaches involve patient guidance, praise for effort, and creating a supportive environment where a child feels safe to make mistakes and learn from them.
A.This constant criticism also makes the child lose self-confidence.
B.As a result, they lose the internal desire to study on their own.
C.The brain under threat is not in a state ready for effective learning.
D.Therefore, parents should consider using positive motivation instead.
E.This makes it far less likely that the child will seek their parents’ advice.
F.As a result, the child’s motivation shifts from learning to avoiding punishment.
G.His mother, Tamako, responds to this with endless scolding and occasional slaps.

Passage 3
(25-26高一上·山西大同·期中)Having strong friendships is important for two main reasons. 1 . We can share happy moments with people we care about, which can enrich our everyday experiences. Second, our friends help us through the difficult times. Having friends to support us through hard times can make unimaginably difficult situations seem much easier to face.
As we explore friendships today, I believe that friendships are also the foundation (基础) for healthy relationships. 2 ? This might sound silly, but finding friends can be challenging! When I first moved to California for my Ph. D., I didn’t have any friends out there. There were quite a few people in my program that I enjoyed spending time with. 3 . This forced me to look for other ways to connect. I ended up finding a local hiking group, hoping to meet people with similar interests. During one of these hikes, I met Jim, one of my best friends to this day.
Over the years, Jim and I have always supported each other. 4 . We both view the friendship as one that makes each other’s lives better. Therefore, it’s always worth the time and energy. The backbone of any successful friendship is one where both sides put in equal effort and support.
Even when Jim moved to the East Coast, our friendship remained strong. Because we already had built such a strong foundation, the distance didn’t impact our friendship. 5 . Like anything in life that is valuable to us, we know that maintaining a friendship takes time and effort.
A.So, where do we find friends
B.First, they make life more enjoyable
C.We still see each other several times a year
D.Does this mean that they really are your friends
E.How we communicate with them has changed a lot
F.More importantly, we always make time for one another
G.However, they were too busy with their work to focus on friendships

(2026·云南·二模)What Is a Lawnmower (割草机) Parent?
You’ve heard of the “helicopter parent” — those overprotective caregivers who swoop in the moment their child meets a problem. Now a new term is sweeping playgrounds across the US: the “lawnmower parent.” 1
Lawnmower parents get their name because they mow down all challenges, conflicts or struggles their children might face before the kids have to deal with them themselves. Unlike helicopter parents who only keep a close watch, they completely remove obstacles before their kids even see them. 2 For example, a dad once rushed to school with an expensive water bottle just because his teen complained about the school’s water fountains. True story!
This parenting style comes from deep love, but it brings serious long-term harm to kids’ growth. Clinical psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Cohen says adults raised by lawnmower parents often struggle with basic life difficulties. 3 “When parents take away all conflict, kids lose the key skill of handling frustration and disappointment,” she explains.
Many parents don’t even notice they’re acting this way. I’ll admit I’ve been both a helicopter and a lawnmower parent to my 3-year-old son. 4 I even asked others to blow on his hot sweet potato fries when I stepped away for a second. This bad habit starts early, even with little kids on the playground.
Letting kids face challenges is the only way to help them grow into independent, healthy adults. 5 It may be tough at the beginning. It’s never easy to stand by while your kid goes through a hard time, but the ability to deal with setbacks is the most valuable life skill you can give them.
A.They should seek suggestions from their parents.
B.They can’t handle workplace stress or difficult relationships well.
C.I’ve had similar overly protective moments with my own kid.
D.The best time to break this parenting pattern is right now.
E.Many parents pick up this parenting style from their own families.
F.It describes an even more over-involved parenting style than helicopter parenting.
G.These parents take extreme steps to keep their kids from any discomfort.
本题以“重要陌生人”这一社会现象为背景,融合英语、社会学与心理健康知识。引导学生认识日常生活里短暂、轻松的浅层人际互动的价值,理解普通陌生人带来的多元视角、归属感,以及缓解孤独感的积极作用;在七选五解题过程中训练识别段落主旨、把握句间逻辑、理清例证与观点关系的阅读能力,学会捕捉篇章过渡句与总结句,培养人文共情能力,懂得珍惜日常微小的人际联结,建立积极健康的社交观念。
(25-26高一上·江苏常州·阶段检测)I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista (咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte (拿铁) in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. 1 Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face.
People like this are called “consequential (重要的) strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. 2 We may only know some of them for a short time, while others may become longstanding parts of our lives.
Like me, counsellor Tina Chunmun has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important subsequent stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective from me,” she explains. 3 So we get to hear new perspectives. These interactions are emotionally beneficial as well. For instance, the consequential strangers in my life not only help me feel a stronger sense of belonging to my community, but also help with loneliness. And some of these connections could potentially become supportive relationships we can turn to for help.
“ 4 ,” says Tina. “If you’re at a train station waiting for a train, you can start talking about how annoying the delay is.” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a very brief exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence. Of course, not every consequential stranger is going to become a good friend and that’s OK. Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. 5 .
A.And that in itself is well worth celebrating.
B.It helps a person to feel much less lonely.
C.This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well.
D.The key is to start with small, common topics.
E.They come in different forms and appear in various situations.
F.Their views can challenge our own and help us see things differently.
G.These people are important because they bring fresh ideas and perspectives.
