2024-2025学年高一英语下学期期末考点大串讲(北师大版2019)
考题猜想03 阅读理解-七选五培优专练20篇 解析版
满分策略
技巧一 | 从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...如此……以至于等。
技巧二 | 从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。表示转折关系的连接词有:however然而等。
技巧三 | 从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四 | 从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。表示递进关系的连词有:also也, 而且, further另外(的), furthermore而且,此外等。
技巧五 | 从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:firstly第一, 首先secondly第二, thirdly第三in the first place第一,首先for one thing首先等。
技巧六 | 从词汇线索上判断——代词指代
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七 | 从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八 | 从词汇线索上判断——同畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题
技巧九 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的,因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段,尤其当选项是几句话时。
技巧十 | 从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
如果第一段的段尾是空白,要认真阅读,看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题,如果在段尾提出主题,会用一些信号词如转折词引出来,正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语,选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。
Passage 01
(24-25高一上·河南商丘·期末)It’s frightening to think about the complicated (复杂的) ways the Internet affects kids’ lives and their well-being. 1 . So, we talked with Dr. Eshleman about Internet safety and kids — how to talk about it and where to draw lines.
Talk about the risks of Internet access (使用)
Access to people and information online is a given in kids’ lives. The Internet can help them learn about science or new cultures. 2 . And kids should know the danger. “We don’t necessarily need to talk about human trafficking (非法交易) with kids, but it is proper to say something along the lines of ‘People might use the Internet to do bad things,’” Dr. Eshleman says. “Explain steps to keep them safe online.”
3
Dr. Eshleman says that parents should have some oversight of what their kids are doing online. But building a trusting relationship between parents and children is important. “If you are going to do so, let kids know that and set expectations of what they should and shouldn’t do online,” Dr. Eshleman advises.
Set rules and stick to them
4 . There aren’t necessarily “right” or “wrong” answers. Just like other rules in your house, your family’s Internet guidelines may be different from other parents’. The important thing is that you set some ground rules ahead of time and follow them.
Keep the lines of communication open
Dr. Eshleman suggests setting aside certain times when kids know that you’ll check in with them. Maybe it’s in the car ride home from school, during dinner or at bedtime. Whatever time works for you and your family is fine. 5 .
A.Avoid online safety risks
B.The time says a lot about you
C.Watch their online activities and tell them so
D.But the Internet can also be a hotbed of hateful activities
E.It’s understandable that parents don’t know how to deal with it
F.Setting clear rules helps create a healthy online presence for kids
G.It matters that kids have proper time to talk about what happened online
【答案】1.E 2.D 3.C 4.F 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了家长如何处理孩子的网络使用安全问题。

2.根据上文“The Internet can help them learn about science or new cultures.(互联网可以帮助他们了解科学或新的文化。) ”以及下文“And kids should know the danger.(孩子们应该知道其中的危险)”可知,设空处与上文构成转折关系,指出互联网也存在不好的方面。故D选项“互联网也可能是充满仇恨活动的温床”切题。故选D项。
3.设空处为小标题;根据下文“Dr. Eshleman says that parents should have some oversight of what their kids are doing online. But building a trusting relationship between parents and children is important. “If you are going to do so, let kids know that and set expectations of what they should and shouldn’t do online,” Dr. Eshleman advises.(埃什勒曼博士说,父母应该对孩子在网上做什么有所监督。但是在父母和孩子之间建立信任关系是很重要的。‘如果你打算这样做,让孩子们知道这一点,并设定他们在网上应该做什么和不应该做什么的期望,’埃什勒曼博士建议)”可知,本段主要讲家长需要监管孩子的上网活动并告知他们。故C选项“监视他们的在线活动并告知他们”能够概括本段主旨,适合作为本段小标题。故选C项。
4.根据标题“Set rules and stick to them(制定规则并遵守)”以及此段最后一句“The important thing is that you set some ground rules ahead of time and follow them.(重要的是,你要提前制定一些基本规则,并遵守它们。)”可知,本段主要阐述要提前制定上网规则并遵守这些规则;F项“设定明确的规则有助于孩子形成健康的在线形象”阐述了制定规则的重要性,符合语境。故选F项。
5.根据上文“Dr. Eshleman suggests setting aside certain times when kids know that you’ll check in with them. Maybe it’s in the car ride home from school, during dinner or at bedtime. Whatever time works for you and your family is fine.( Eshleman博士建议留出特定的时间,让孩子知道你会和他们联系。也许是在放学回家的车里,也许是在吃饭的时候,也许是在睡觉的时候。任何时间对你和你的家人来说都是可以的)”可知,本段主要阐述有适当的时间去沟通的重要性,G项“重要的是,孩子们有适当的时间谈论在线上发生的事情”切题。故选G项。
Passage 02
(24-25高一上·河南信阳·期末)Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you lose temper, you make hurried ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. 1 You will also lose your sunny, go-getting nature. What can be done to control anger and prevent it from ruining our lives? Here are four ways that you can deal with the causes of anger.
Firstly, you need to change your attitude to the way the world works. You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely. 2 Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.
Secondly, don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA.Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. 3
Thirdly, reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. But it is a habit, and habits can be broken. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually causes anger. Anger is a negative reaction. You need to learn not to respond at all. 4
Fourthly, don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when we are angry. 5 However, if you are to stop anger from becoming your master, you must learn control over your anger. In this way, anger will no longer prevent you from achieving a fulfilling life.
In conclusion, you must recognize that anger is something you can control.
A.A reaction like that is the easy way.
B.You will regret rude language spoken without thought.
C.Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.
D.Your anger will not get the emotional food it needs to survive in this way.
E.Many ordinary folks also get angry about certain aspects in their daily life.
F.Some people believe that lessening anger by shouting or hitting a pillow is helpful.
G.They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.G 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讨论了如何控制愤怒情绪,防止其破坏我们的生活,并给出了四种处理愤怒原因的方法。
1.根据前文“Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you lose temper, you make hurried ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret.(愤怒是最具破坏性的情绪。当你发脾气时,你会匆忙地做出考虑不周的决定,你可能会后悔)”以及后文“You will also lose your sunny, go-getting nature.(你也会失去你阳光、进取的天性)”可知,此处是讲述愤怒带来的可能性后果,所以B项“You will regret rude language spoken without thought.(你会后悔不经思考就说粗话)”符合此处主题。故选B项。
2.根据前文“You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely.(你必须接受有时事情会出错,人们并不总是可爱的)”可知,本段主要讲述需要认识到,没有人是完美的,所以C项“Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry.(意识到人无完人是避免生气的好开始)”符合本段主题,是对前句的进一步说明。故选C项。
3.设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Secondly, don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in India.(其次,不要认为愤怒是一种不好的情绪。在某些情况下,愤怒可以被引导成一件伟大的事情。马丁·路德·金对美国缺乏公民权利感到愤怒。甘地对英国在印度的统治感到愤怒)”可知,本段讲述引导愤怒情绪去做有意义的事,所以G项“They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice.(他们都用这种愤怒来激励自己与他们所认为的不公正作斗争)”是对前文的总结,其中They指的是马丁·路德·金和甘地。故选G项。
4.设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“Thirdly, reacting angrily is a hard habit to break. But it is a habit, and habits can be broken. The trick is to avoid reacting when faced with a situation that usually causes anger. Anger is a negative reaction. You need to learn not to respond at all.(第三,愤怒是一个很难改掉的习惯。但这是一种习惯,习惯是可以打破的。诀窍是在面对通常会引起愤怒的情况时避免做出反应。愤怒是一种消极的反应。你要学会完全不回应)”可知,本段主要讲述改变总是愤怒的习惯,所以D项“Your anger will not get the emotional food it needs to survive in this way.(这样,你的愤怒就无法获得生存所需的情感食粮)”是对前文方法的总结,符合文意。故选D项。
5.根据前文“Fourthly, don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when we are angry.(第四,当你生气的时候不要走捷径。当我们生气的时候,我们都会想要扔东西,打东西(甚至是某人),或者尖叫)”以及后文“However, if you are to stop anger from becoming your master, you must learn control over your anger.(然而,如果你不想让愤怒成为你的主宰,你必须学会控制你的愤怒)”可知,A项“A reaction like that is the easy way.(这样的反应很简单)”是对前文的评价,并且和后文构成转折关系,符合文意。故选A项。
Passage 03
(24-25高一上·河南周口·期末)Modern travel is quickly growing and the industry is trying to keep up. Yet the flight delays, an increase in terrible weather, and local concern about overtourism have caused headaches for travelers. 1 However, with good planning, there are ways for travelers to reduce the stress and enjoy the ride.
※Stay relaxed before the trip.
2 It just results in them getting especially nervous and spending the first few days of their trip dealing with this. Travelers can deal with stress much more wisely before their trip. They can create a list of tasks to decide what really should be done before they leave on vacation. If they weren’t going to do something on the to-do list even if they stayed at home — it can probably wait until after the trip.
※Pack light, pack smart.
To pack a carry-on bag or to check your luggage (行李)? A carry-on gives you more flexibility to change planes and still arrive with your luggage. 3 If you can’t get everything you need into a carry-on, pack the things into a backpack or small bag to keep with you in case your luggage ends up in a different place.
※ 4
Just like kids take their favorite toy animals when they travel, grown-ups can bring things that make them feel better to deal with the stress of traveling. For example, they can bring snacks, a water bottle, and a neck pillow. And if possible, make use of airport lounges (休息室). Spending time in a quiet room that has showers, food and private areas can really relax you, especially after a long flight or when waiting for a long time.
※Choose less-crowded (不拥挤的) places.
Everyone wants to experience their dream vacation without the crowds. One way is to travel during a place’s off season. However, clever travelers have already picked up on this trip planning method. Now, travelers are looking for places that are equally nice — like choosing one place instead of another. 5
A.Make your journey more comfortable.
B.Practice “calm” techniques for stressful moments.
C.Plan your daily clothes to avoid the idea to pack extras.
D.They make getting the sense of pleasure and wonder of travel difficult.
E.You should always pay attention and be ready to act, particularly when flying.
F.Some worry about the details and possible problems too much before leaving.
G.And it’s also smart to travel during the school year to avoid summer vacationers.
【答案】 1.D 2.F 3.C 4.A 5.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提供了一些帮助你在旅行时减轻焦虑,避免紧张的建议。
1.根据上文“Modern travel is quickly growing and the industry is trying to keep up. Yet the flight delays, an increase in terrible weather, and local concern about overtourism have caused headaches for travelers. (现代旅游业发展迅速,旅游业也在努力跟上。然而,航班延误、恶劣天气的增加,以及当地对过度旅游的担忧,都让游客感到头疼)”可知,前文提到航班延误、恶劣天气和当地对过度旅游的担忧给旅行者带来困扰,D选项“它们使得获得旅行的快乐和惊奇感变得困难”承接上文,符合语境,They指代上文提到的几种情况。故选D。
2.根据后文“It just results in them getting especially nervous and spending the first few days of their trip dealing with this. (这只会让他们变得特别紧张,在旅行的头几天里都在处理这个问题)”可知,后句说这会导致他们特别紧张并在旅行开始的几天处理这个问题,F选项“一些人在出发前过于担心细节和可能出现的问题”可引出后文,解释原因。故选F。
3.根据上文“A carry-on gives you more flexibility to change planes and still arrive with your luggage. (随身携带给你更大的灵活性,让你在换乘飞机的同时还能随身携带行李)”可知,前句说随身携带行李能让转机更灵活且行李能随人到,C选项“计划好日常衣物以避免多带不必要的东西”进一步说明如何合理打包行李,与前文逻辑连贯。故选C。
4.根据本段内容“Just like kids take their favorite toy animals when they travel, grown-ups can bring things that make them feel better to deal with the stress of traveling. For example, they can bring snacks, a water bottle, and a neck pillow. And if possible, make use of airport lounges. Spending time in a quiet room that has showers, food and private areas can really relax you, especially after a long flight or when waiting for a long time. (就像孩子们在旅行时带着他们最喜欢的玩具动物一样,成年人可以带一些让他们感觉更好的东西来应对旅行的压力。例如,他们可以带零食、水瓶和颈枕。如果可能的话,利用机场休息室。花时间在一个安静的房间里,有淋浴,食物和私人区域可以真正使你放松,尤其是在长途飞行或等待很长时间之后)”可知,该段主要讲述成年人携带让自己舒适的物品以及利用机场休息室来提升旅行舒适度,A选项“让你的旅程更舒适”概括了本段的主旨。故选A。
5.根据上文“Everyone wants to experience their dream vacation without the crowds. One way is to travel during a place’s off season. However, clever travelers have already picked up on this trip planning method. Now, travelers are looking for places that are equally nice — like choosing one place instead of another. (每个人都想在没有人群的情况下体验他们的梦想假期。一种方法是在一个地方的淡季旅行。然而,聪明的旅行者已经学会了这种旅行计划方法。现在,旅行者正在寻找同样不错的地方——就像选择一个地方而不是另一个地方)”可知,前文提到选择游客少的地方旅游,G选项“在学年期间旅行以避开暑假游客也是明智之举”进一步补充说明选择合适时间旅游以避开人群的方法,符合语境。故选G。
Passage 04
(24-25高一上·河南濮阳·期末)How to Travel Light
Packing is my superpower. I have traveled for a year with just a backpack and have done a week-long trip with a bag that fits under my airplane seat, more times than I can count. 1. So, do try to travel light and here are my top packing tips for traveling light.
2. The first time I went to Europe, I read “lay out everything you plan to take, then put away half.” Maybe that’s extreme, but practical. When traveling, we really don’t need as much as we think we do. At worst, you can buy what you forgot to pack. If you want to be practical and travel light, you have to make some tough decisions.
Use packing cubes (立方体). Packing cubes are a game changer. 3, which makes things easier to find and makes re-packing much easier. Cubes come in different sizes. I use a standard rectangular (方形) one for most of my clothes and put shirts and underwear in a longer, skinner cube.
Reduce empty spaces. 4. Roll up socks and put them in your unused pair of shoes, which go in their own packing cube or bag. Line either side of your suitcase with sleepwear or gym clothes. Use your packing cubes to create a puzzle that all fits together. Try different combinations to find what fits best.
Pack woolen clothing. Woolen clothing is super fine, breathable, warm and easy to pack. 5. You can wear a woolen clothing several times before it needs to be washed. That means you can pack a lot less. I pack a few woolen T-shirts and long sleeves, and lay them as needed.
A.Limit what you take
B.It doesn’t get dirty easily
C.Do not leave out necessary things
D.They make traveling light possible
E.They help you organize your things into different parts
F.Carrying heavy, overpacked suitcases is no way to enjoy a trip
G.To make the most of the space in your bag, you shouldn’t have a lot of empty space
【答案】1.F 2.A 3.E 4.G 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了轻装旅行的一些建议,如限制携带物品、使用打包收纳盒、减少行李中的空隙以及打包羊毛衣物等。
1.根据前文“Packing is my superpower. I have traveled for a year with just a backpack and have done a week-long trip with a bag that fits under my airplane seat, more times than I can count.(收拾行李是我的超能力。我只带了一个背包旅行了一年,还带了一个能放在飞机座位下面的包旅行了一周,次数多得我都数不清了)”以及后文“So, do try to travel light and here are my top packing tips for traveling light.(所以,一定要尽量轻装旅行,下面是我的轻装旅行建议)”可知,F项“Carrying heavy, overpacked suitcases is no way to enjoy a trip(带着又重又多的行李箱可不是享受旅行的好办法)”承接上文,并和后文构成因果关系,符合文意。故选F项。
2.设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“The first time I went to Europe, I read “lay out everything you plan to take, then put away half.” Maybe that’s extreme, but practical. When traveling, we really don’t need as much as we think we do.(我第一次去欧洲的时候,我读到“把你打算带走的东西都列出来,然后留下一半。”也许这很极端,但很实用。旅行的时候,我们真的不需要像我们想象的那么多)”可知,本段主要讲述了旅行不需要带太多东西,所以A项“Limit what you take(限制你拿走的东西)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选A项。
3.根据前文“Use packing cubes (立方体). Packing cubes are a game changer.(使用收纳立方体。收纳立方体是游戏规则的改变者)”可知,本段主要讲述收纳立方体的好处,以及后文“which makes things easier to find and makes re-packing much easier.(这样更容易找到东西,也更容易重新打包)”也是讲述收纳立方体具体的好处,所以E项“They help you organize your things into different parts(它们帮助你把你的东西组织成不同的部分)”可知,承接上文,为下文定语从句的主句,定语从句是对本句的解释。故选E项。
4.根据前文“Reduce empty spaces.(减少空白空间)”可知,本段主要讲述减少行李箱的空白空间,所以G项“To make the most of the space in your bag, you shouldn’t have a lot of empty space(为了充分利用包里的空间,你不应该有太多的空空间)”符合本段主题,其中empty space为同词复现。故选G项。
5.根据前文“Woolen clothing is super fine, breathable, warm and easy to pack.(羊毛服装超细,透气,保暖,便于打包)”以及后文“You can wear a woolen clothing several times before it needs to be washed.(一件羊毛衣服在需要洗之前可以穿好几次)”可知,此处讲述羊毛服装的好处,所以B项“It doesn’t get dirty easily(不容易弄脏)”讲述好处,引出下文,符合文意。故选B项。
Passage 05
(24-25高一上·河南南阳·期末)Walking is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve both physical and mental health. Here are some tips on how to maximize the benefits of every step you take.
Make it a habit
1 . If you walk quickly, this will give you the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, bringing you better cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness, stronger bones and muscles, and the mental health benefits of being outdoors.
Warm up and cool down
Begin each walk with a gentle 5-minute warm-up to gradually increase your heart rate. Similarly, end your walk with a cool-down period to slowly lower your heart rate. 2 .
Breathe deeply
Practice deep breathing by inhaling (吸气) to a count of three, filling your lungs fully by expanding your ribs and pushing out your stomach. 3 . This technique increases oxygen flow and promotes relaxation.
Walk and talk
Stepping out regularly with a partner, friend or family member is much more fun than going it alone. 4 . It’s also a great opportunity to catch up while staying active.
5
To keep your walk interesting, increase your pace every ten to 15 minutes and do a three-minute surge. Imagine you’re trying to catch up with someone ahead. Climb a hill from time to time for a challenge. To burn fat, do some bursts of fast walking early on in your walk.
By using these strategies in your walking routine, you’ll not only gain the physical rewards but also enjoy a more enriching and fulfilling experience overall.
A.Vary the pace
B.Walk in the morning
C.Set a goal of 30 minutes five days a week
D.Keep your head straight with eyes forward
E.It will motivate you when you’re not feeling keen
F.This allows your heart rate to speed up and slow down
G.Breathe out slowly through your mouth to the same count
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.G 4.E 5.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要提出了一些将散步效率最大化的方法。
1.根据后文“If you walk quickly, this will give you the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, bringing you better cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness, stronger bones and muscles, and the mental health benefits of being outdoors.(如果你走得快,这将给你推荐的每周150分钟的适度运动,给你带来更好的心血管健康,更强壮的骨骼和肌肉,以及户外活动对心理健康的好处)”可知,后文提到了每周150分钟的运动量,推测本句是在说明如何分配这个时间的建议。故C选项“设定一个目标,每周五天,每次30分钟”符合语境,故选C。
2.根据上文“Begin each walk with a gentle 5-minute warm-up to gradually increase your heart rate. Similarly, end your walk with a cool-down period to slowly lower your heart rate.(每次步行开始时先做5分钟的热身,逐渐提高心率。同样地,在步行结束时进行一段冷却期,慢慢降低心率)”可知,上文提到了先提高,然后再降低心率,F选项中speed up and slow down对应上文increase以及lower。故F选项“这可以让你的心率加快或减慢”符合语境,故选F。
3.根据上文“Practice deep breathing by inhaling (吸气) to a count of three, filling your lungs fully by expanding your ribs and pushing out your stomach.(练习深呼吸,吸气数到三,通过扩张肋骨和挤压胃来填满肺部)”可知,上文提到了吸气的方式,推测本句要说明呼气。故G选项“用你的嘴慢慢地呼出同样的数”符合语境,故选G。
4.根据上文“Stepping out regularly with a partner, friend or family member is much more fun than going it alone.(与伴侣、朋友或家人定期外出比独自外出有趣得多)”可知,上文建议和他人一起外出,推测本句说明这么做的原因。故E选项“当你不感兴趣的时候,它会激励你”符合语境,故选E。
5.根据本段内容“To keep your walk interesting, increase your pace every ten to 15 minutes and do a three-minute surge. Imagine you’re trying to catch up with someone ahead. Climb a hill from time to time for a challenge. To burn fat, do some bursts of fast walking early on in your walk.(为了让你的步行有趣,每10到15分钟增加你的速度,做一个三分钟的冲刺。想象一下,你正在努力赶上前面的人。不时地爬上一座小山,迎接挑战。为了燃烧脂肪,在你步行的早期做一些快速步行)”可知,本段的内容是建议改变步行的方式,来增加乐趣。故A选项“改变节奏”符合语境,故选A。
Passage 06
(24-25高一上·安徽铜陵·期末)Learn from Your Regrets
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.” The song’s idea is that anyone can just declare that what’s done is done and move on. Easier said than done, though. The truth is that regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. 1 It’s to recognize it and use it for learning and improvement.
Here are three steps you can take the next time you find yourself considering your past missteps.
Kill the ghost (鬼).
People often say their regrets “haunt (缠绕) ” them. This suggests that regret is like a ghost: not entirely clear but always frightening. 2
Write down why each one still bothers you and its remaining bad effects. Be honest. You will find that a list is a lot less frightening than a ghost.
3
After you make a mistake, life moves on. But sometimes you just can’t stop kicking yourself. Perhaps you dropped out of school decades ago and keep thinking today how much money you would be making if you had tried harder. 4 So, remind yourself not to waste another minute of your life regretting a decision that cannot be changed.
Collect your diploma (毕业证书) .
Regret is like a school run by human nature. If you never experienced regret, you would keep repeating the same behaviors that led you to miss opportunities and damage relationships in the past. Your regret can teach you to become smarter and more successful.
Regrets may hurt, but always worrying about them is harmful. Avoiding them (or ignoring them) is a lost opportunity to grow. 5 To live it well and fully means learning from every bit of it, including the mistakes, and moving forward.
A.Forgive yourself.
B.But regret makes no sense.
C.Not all regrets are the same, of course.
D.The trick is not to remove the bad feeling.
E.Life is a journey full of pleasures and pains.
F.We have to seek them out on purpose to improve ourselves.
G.Bring your ghost out of the shadows by making a list of your regrets.
【答案】1.D 2.G 3.A 4.B 5.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几点如何从遗憾中吸取教训的方法和建议。
1.根据上文“The truth is that regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged.( 事实是,遗憾并不一定要置之不理。)”以及下文“It’s to recognize it and use it for learning and improvement.( 而是要认识到它,并利用它来学习和提高。)”可知,上文提到遗憾并非不可处理,下文指出要认识它并用于学习和改进,D选项The trick is not to remove the bad feeling.( 关键不是消除这种不好的感觉。)可知,符合语境,说明对待遗憾不是简单消除感觉,而是有其他方式,起到承上启下的作用。故选D项。

Going on vacation every week? It sounds like the wildest dream. But a simple mindset change can make it happen — no travel involved. 1
Get creative about making time
Not everyone has Saturday and Sunday off work and actually some people often find their weekend schedules fully packed. 2 For example, devote an hour on Sunday morning to the housework, but protect the rest of the weekend as your vacation time.
Reflect on what matters most

4
Doing something totally new is recommended, so you can disconnect from the same old routines controlling your life. Think about a journey: Drive to a part of town you’ve never been to before, go for a walk, and grab lunch at the first cute café you see.
Don’t put extra pressure on yourself
Treating your weekend like a vacation doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated (复杂的). If your “vacation” meets a few problems or lasts for only a few hours — don’t worry. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Don’t put pressure on yourself to have one “perfect vacation.” It’s meant to be fun. 5

Passage 10
(23-24高一下·安徽安庆·期末)We’ve all heard the standard advice for lifting ourselves out of an unfavorable mood (情绪). Here are some novel ideas beyond that.
1 We all sometimes find activities we enjoy but then unaccountably stop doing them. Pick up an activity you typically enjoy but haven’t done in the past six months. This could be, for example, visiting a park you used to like to walk around, or tending a plant you’ve previously grown.
Rewrite a story. We all have stories that get us down. For instance, “I should’ve done X better,” or “X was my fault.” Often, we have replayed the story so many times that we begin to see the story as fact. 2 Come up with other explanations for the causes or results of what has happened.
Take a highly creative approach to a task. For example, my kid is currently learning about the 0 states. 3 A more creative way might be to ask individuals which state they grew up in and engage in a conversation about that.
Solve a problem in a much simpler way. 4 It can pull down your mood and energy. It’s necessary to identify a much simpler way to solve a problem that’s populating your to-do list. For example: give something away rather than cleaning or storing it.
Throw out a “must” thought. It can be a huge mental relief. You can even do this physically. Write the thought on a piece of paper and put it out with your trash! Or type out the thought and strike through it. 5
A.Then write a replaceable item.
B.Start with a behavioral strategy.
C.Rediscover a forgotten pleasure.
D.A common way to do this is a postcard exchange.
E.Having hanging items on your to-do list can feel weighty.
F.Yet it’s never too late to recompose a story about your own behavior.
G.Use what you already own to solve a problem rather than searching for a new resource.
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.D 4.E 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在提供了一些新颖的建议,帮助人们从不利的情绪中解脱出来。
1.根据后文“We all sometimes find activities we enjoy but then unaccountably stop doing them. Pick up an activity you typically enjoy but haven’t done in the past six months. This could be, for example, visiting a park you used to like to walk around, or tending a plant you’ve previously grown.( 有时候,我们都会找到自己喜欢的活动,但后来却莫名其妙地停止了。选择一项你通常喜欢但在过去六个月里没有做过的活动。这可以是,例如,去一个你以前喜欢散步的公园,或者照顾一棵你以前种过的植物。)”可知,本段提到我们有时都会发现自己喜欢的活动,但却莫名其妙地停止了。选择一项你通常喜欢但在过去六个月内没有做过的活动。后边举例重新做回喜欢的事。所以,C项“Rediscover a forgotten pleasure.(重新发现被遗忘的快乐)”符合题意。故选C。
2.本段主题句是“Rewrite a story. (重写故事)”。同时根据空格前的句子“Often, we have replayed the story so many times that we begin to see the story as fact. (通常,我们把故事重复播放了太多次,以至于我们开始把故事当成事实。)”可知,我们经常因为自己的行为自责,而且多次重复这种负面想法,就会把这看做是事实。F选项“Yet it’s never too late to recompose a story about your own behavior.( 然而,重新编一个关于你自己行为的故事永远不会太晚。)”承接前文,指出可以重新编一个关于你自己行为的故事,这样就不会让自己一直受到自己之前所认为的负面故事造成影响。故选F。
3.根据后文的内容“A more creative way might be to ask individuals which state they grew up in and engage in a conversation about that.( 一种更有创意的方法可能是询问个人他们是在哪个州长大的,并就此展开对话。)”可知,此处介绍的是一个更有创意的想法,设空处应该给出一个普通的做法与此形成对比。所以,D项“A common way to do this is a postcard exchange.(一种常见的方法是交换明信片)”符合题意。故选D。
4.根据空格后的“It can pull down your mood and energy.(它会降低你的情绪和精力。)”可知,空格处是一个拉低你的情绪和精力的不好的做法。同时再根据后文“It’s necessary to identify a much simpler way to solve a problem that’s populating your to-do list. (有必要确定一个更简单的方法来解决你的待办事项清单上的问题。)”可知,此处强调的是要确定一个更简单的方法来解决自己代办事项清单上的问题。 E选项“Having hanging items on your to-do list can feel weighty.(待办事项清单上挂着的事项会让你感觉很重。)”引起下文,强调待办事项清单上让你感觉很重,并且降低你的情绪和精力,由此要用一个更简单的方法来解决自己代办事项清单上的问题。故选E。
5.本段主题句是“Throw out a “must” thought. (“扔掉一个’必须’的想法”)”。同时根据空格前的内容“Write the thought on a piece of paper and put it out with your trash! Or type out the thought and strike through it.( 把你的想法写在一张纸上,和你的垃圾一起扔出去!或者把你的想法打出来,然后划掉。)”可知,此处列举的是一系列行为,包括把你的想法写在一张纸上,然后和你的垃圾一起扔出去,以及把想法打出来,然后把它划掉,设空处应该顺延这个动作。A项“Then write a replaceable item.(然后写一个可替换的项目)”符合题意。故选A。

Passage 12
(24-25高一上·浙江杭州·期末)Criticism is never fun. If it is helpful, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How do you deal with it? 1
Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback, you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages. 2
See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words. 3 If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something.
4 If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional.
Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive (戒备的) and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong. 5
A.Make yourself a better person.
B.The following tips can be helpful.
C.Thank the person for being honest.
D.Most people are able to deal with criticism properly.
E.It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before.
F.But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect.
G.If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should.
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.E 4.C 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何应对批评,并给出了几条实用的建议。
1.根据上文“Criticism is never fun. If it is helpful, then you can use it to become a more well-rounded person. If it’s only meant to harm you, then you can work on shaking it off like a bad habit. How do you deal with it? (批评从来都不好玩。如果它是有帮助的,那么你可以用它来成为一个更全面的人。如果它只是为了伤害你,那么你可以把它当作一个坏习惯来摆脱。你是怎么处理的?)”可知,文章接下来会给出一些应对批评的建议。由此可知,B. The following tips can be helpful.(下面的建议可能会有帮助)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
2.根据上文“Accept that you’re not perfect. This is a great way to deal with criticism. To be able to take a little bit of feedback, you can’t keep thinking that you can do no wrong. Nobody’s perfect, so if you think you’re perfect, then you’re nobody. Every person has disadvantages.(接受你并不完美的事实。这是处理批评的好方法。为了能够得到一些反馈,你不能一直认为自己不会犯错。没有人是完美的,所以如果你认为自己是完美的,那你就什么都不是。每个人都有缺点)”可知,没有人是完美的,任何人都有缺点,如果你看不到自己的缺点,说明你没有足够仔细地分析自己。由此可知,G. If you don’t see any of yours, you’re not analyzing yourself as closely as you should.(如果你没有看到自己的任何缺点,你就没有像你应该的那样仔细分析自己)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。
3.根据上文“See if there’s some truth to it. If the feedback is coming from a person who has your best interest in mind, then you have to consider the possibility that there really is some truth to those words.(看看这是不是真的。如果反馈来自于一个最关心你的人,那么你必须考虑这些话是否真的有一些道理)”及下文“If ten people say that you are selfish, then they can’t all be wrong, can they? Take a moment to consider the possibility that this person is really on to something.(如果十个人都说你自私,那他们不可能都是错的,对吧?花点时间考虑一下这个人是否真的有道理)”可知,如果多次听到对你类似的批评,更应该认真对待。由此可知,E. It’s even more likely if you’ve heard similar comments before.(如果你之前听过类似的评论,那么这种可能性更大)能够承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
4.根据下文“If you have received some criticism delivered in a friendly and helpful way, or just in a way meant to be honest and clear, just take the time to thank the person and to say that you appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better friend, student, or professional.(如果你收到了一些以友好和有益的方式提出的批评,或者只是以诚实和清晰的方式提出的批评,那就花点时间感谢这个人,并说你很感激这个人告诉你一些可以让你成为更好的朋友、学生或专业人士的事情)”可知,我们要感谢对你坦诚相待的人。由此可知,C. Thank the person for being honest.(感谢这个人的诚实)能够引领下文,符合语境。故选C。
5.根据上文“Stop making excuses. If someone is giving you reasonable criticism, stop making excuses. If you get defensive (戒备的) and make excuses, then the person won’t be able to finish telling you exactly what he or she means, and you won’t get the information you need to really improve. It’s natural that we feel defensive and get the feeling that we can do no wrong.(不要再找借口了。如果有人给你合理的批评,不要再找借口了。如果你有戒心并找借口,那么对方就无法把他或她的意思确切地告诉你,你也无法得到你需要的信息来真正改进。我们很自然地会感到自我防卫,觉得自己不会做错)”可知,此处强调要听完别人的批评,而不是急于找借口证明自己是对的。由此可知,F. But it’s important to hear people out before you cut them off to prove you’re perfect.(但在你打断别人的谈话以证明你是完美的之前,倾听他们的意见是很重要的)能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选。故选F。

Focus on Observing, Not Judging
Complaining often comes from a judgmental mindset, where we see the world based on our own biases(偏见) and expectations. To reduce your complaining, shift your focus from judging to observing. Instead of being a judgmental commentator on life's events, try to avoid taking sides. 2
Address the Root Cause
If you frequently complain, it might be worth exploring why you’re so easily dissatisfied. 3 By addressing the basic problem of your dissatisfaction, you might find that things like the weather or politics aren’t worth complaining about.
Accept Stoicism(坚韧)
Many people mistake stoicism for simply weathering the storm with a brave face. But true stoicism includes managing feelings through reason. Before complaining, ask yourself if you can change the situation. 4 If you can, take action instead of wasting time complaining.
Avoid Negative Influences
5 Try to manage your personal life and control your media time to avoid negative influences. Remember, some people make a living by feeding on your sufferings. To further strengthen your resolve (决心), make a commitment to stop complaining and ask friends and family to remind you of this goal when they notice you complaining.
A.If not, complaining won’t help.
B.Improve your problem-solving skills
C.If it’s hard, just wait for others to solve it.
D.Surrounding yourself with negatives can encourage complaining.
E.But habitually complaining can harm both yourself and those around you.
F.Often, bigger problems are causing you to be impatient with smaller things.
G.This means admitting and accepting situations without immediately passing judgement.

Passage 15
(24-25高一上·广东深圳·期末)Four Secrets of People Who Stay Slim Effortlessly
To stay a healthy weight, most slim people don’t go on restrictive diets. 1 Researchers analyzed the habits of 147 adults through an online Global Healthy Weight Registry, whose responses stressed one major thing for healthy living: Routine is key.
1. They eat breakfast.
Ninetysix percent reported eating breakfast nearly every day. Those who give up a morning meal tend to consume more calories at lunchtime. 2 Therefore, eating breakfast could, instead, really be a sign of living healthfully. It’s routine, people.
2. They exercise.
Fortytwo percent of study participants reported exercising five or more times a week. Exercise does so much for our bodies and brains, including reducing stress and depression as well as the risk of diabetes (糖尿病). 3 That’s winwin for weight loss.
3. 4
According to the research, 44 percent of participants reported at least one “nonrestrictive strategy” to their eating, such as listening to inner calls, eating highquality and lowprocessed foods and cooking at home. Consider cutting out vending machine snacks for more nutritious ones, or even eating at home.
4. They eat mindfully.
They think about what they’re putting in their bodies. While 74 percent said they never or rarely diet, 92 percent reported being aware of what they ate. 5
A.They don’t eat outside.
B.They don’t restrict what they eat.
C.Instead, they practice easy habits.
D.However, you can keep simple routine to make yourself slim.
E.This number suggests slim people don’t engage in mindless eating.
F.Skipping breakfast is also associated with increased weight over time.
G.One more really cool side effect is that it will make you eager for a healthier diet.
【答案】1.C 2.F 3.G 4.B 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了轻松保持苗条的五个秘诀。
1.上文“To stay a healthy weight, most slim people don’t go on restrictive diets. (为了保持健康的体重,大多数苗条的人不节食)”及下文“Researchers analyzed the habits of 147 adults through an online Global Healthy Weight Registry, whose responses stressed one major thing for healthy living: Routine is key. (研究人员通过在线全球健康体重登记处分析了147名成年人的习惯,他们的回答强调了健康生活的一个重要因素:常规是关键)”可知,苗条的人通过其他方式保持体重,空处承前启后,与上文是转折关系,C项中“habit”与下文的“the habits of 147 adults”一致,所以C项“相反,他们练习简单的习惯”符合此处语境。故选C项。
2.上文“Those who give up a morning meal tend to consume more calories at lunchtime. (那些放弃早餐的人往往在午餐时摄入更多的卡路里)”及下文“Therefore, eating breakfast could, instead, really be a sign of living healthfully. (因此,吃早餐反而可能是健康生活的标志)”可知,不吃早餐对于身体的不利影响,空处承前启后,引出下文的结果,F项中的“Skipping breakfast”与上文“give up a morning meal”相呼应,所以F项“不吃早餐也会导致体重增加,随着时间的推移体重也会增加”,符合文意。故选F项。
3.上文“Exercise does so much for our bodies and brains, including reducing stress and depression as well as the risk of diabetes (糖尿病 ). (运动对我们的身体和大脑有很多好处,包括减轻压力和抑郁,以及患糖尿病的风险)”及下文“That’s winwin for weight loss. (这对减肥来说是双赢的)”可知,锻炼对于身体的好处,空处承上启下,G项“习惯性锻炼还有一个很酷的好处,那就是它会让你渴望更健康的饮食”呼应了本段主题,且句中的“more”与前一句形成的递进关系。故选G项。
4.下文“According to the research, 44 percent of participants reported at least one “nonrestrictive strategy” to their eating, such as listening to inner calls, eating highquality and lowprocessed foods and cooking at home. Consider cutting out vending machine snacks for more nutritious ones, or even eating at home. (根据这项研究,44%的参与者报告了至少一种“非限制性饮食策略”,比如倾听内心的呼唤,吃高质量和低加工食品,在家做饭。考虑放弃自动售货机的零食,选择更有营养的,或者甚至在家吃)”可知,本段在讲述“非限制性饮食策略”,空处为本段小标题,B项中的“restrict what they eat”与下文“one “nonrestrictive strategy” to their eating”相一致,所以B项“他们不限制自己的饮食”贴合符合文段文意。故选B项。
5.上文“While 74 percent said they never or rarely diet, 92 percent reported being aware of what they ate. (74%的人说他们从不或很少节食,92%的人说他们知道自己吃什么)”可知,介绍了一组调查数据,空处应为此数据进行总结或下结论。E项“don’t engage in mindless eating”与标题“eat mindfully”相呼应,所以E项“这个数字表明,不费吹灰之力苗条的人不会无意识地吃东西”符合符合文意。故选E项。
Passage 16
(24-25高一上·广东深圳·期末)A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. 1
Don’t be afraid to be confused.
We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. 2 Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.
Research, research, research.
3 Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise.
Just pick the book up.
This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. 4 Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle.
Remember: there is no right answer.
There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. 5 Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it us still valuable!
A.Allow the book to grow with you.
B.So how does one approach a classic?
C.It has some form of historical influence.
D.Before you turn to page one, do some digging.
E.Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.
F.Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.
G.Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically.
【答案】1.B 2.E 3.D 4.F 5.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阅读经典文学的方法与心态,包括接受困惑、研究背景、勇敢开始以及享受解读的过程。
1.根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us.(对经典作品的喜爱显然不是一见钟情的。这是一个循序渐进的过程。我们一开始只是泛泛之交,最终却成了亲密无间、能分享只有彼此才懂的玩笑的朋友)”可知,人们与经典作品的关系是逐渐建立的,下文则列出了一些接近经典作品的方法,空处需承上启下,B选项“So how does one approach a classic?(那么一个人该如何接近一部经典呢?)”在此处起到了很好的过渡作用,它基于上文所描述的经典阅读的现状,引出下文针对如何阅读经典的具体阐述,符合上下文的逻辑关系,起到了承上启下的作用,故选B。
2.根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.(相反,你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪,并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知,空处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知,E选项“Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.(永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)”能够与下文形成语义的转折,符合语境。故选E。
3.根据本段小标题“Research, research, research.(研究,研究,再研究)”可知,本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知,D选项“Before you turn to page one, do some digging.(在你翻到第一页之前,做一些调查)”中“do some digging”与小标题中的“Research”意思相近,都表达了在阅读经典之前进行研究的意思,符合本段主旨,符合语境。故选D。
4.根据上文“While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.(虽然仅仅拿起一本书并不难,但我们都知道,说服自己去这么做可能会有多难)”及下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气,然后纵身跃上梅尔维尔笔下 “裴廓德号” 的甲板,或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知,有时候开始阅读一本经典作品需要一些动力及读书的具体做法。F选项“Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)”提供了一个很好的动力,即把阅读经典作品看作是一个学习的机会,从而激励自己去开始阅读,同时也与下文鼓励进入书中情境进行阅读相呼应,符合上下文逻辑。故选F。
5.根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。不存在权威性的解读,也没有唯一确切的答案。作为读者,你的目标是去发现哪些方面和见解对你来说是有意义的。享受这个过程)”可知,上文强调阅读经典没有唯一正确的方式,鼓励读者发现对自己有意义的方面并享受这个过程,G选项“Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (考虑一下让你困惑的地方,有目的地阅读,并进行批判性思考)”是实现上文所提目标的具体做法,且这些做法符合没有绝对正确答案的理念,能够衔接上文,符合语境。故选G。
Passage 17
(24-25高一上·广东广州·期末)With the increasing popularity of social websites and personal online blogs, the act of oversharing has become more common. 1 Telling a co-worker you don’t want a piece of birthday cake may be acceptable, but adding the fact you’re on a diet to lose 50 pounds would be oversharing. Here are some reasons that lead to oversharing.
Some oversharing is the result of a poorly developed social filter or “shut up button.” A mother may feel comfortable oversharing details of the birthing process with co-workers, for example, not realizing she is making others feel uncomfortable. 2
Sometimes, oversharing is an attempt to break the ice or build closeness by sharing small embarrassing moments. 3 However, there are still some lines which should not be crossed. For example, an employer should not share personal details with an employee, because their relationship includes a level of respect for the employer’s authority. Oversharing can in turn do harm to their relation.
4 Those with few friends may see co-workers or strangers as family, sharing more than proper. While it may not be acceptable to tell too much information to strangers, it may feel acceptable to overshare with co-workers at lunch or the friendly cashier at a local restaurant. Some people feel a level of closeness which does not actually exist, but it is not real at all.
5 We should avoid sharing too much with those who are not expecting it.
A.Oversharing results from a need for attention.
B.Another cause for oversharing is having no close friends.
C.This form of oversharing may have some immediate benefits.
D.Some people may not realize the effect of their oversharing on others.
E.While some oversharing is socially acceptable, it’s wise to think twice.
F.Oversharing means sharing too much personal information with other people.
G.Once it happens, it becomes difficult to erase those images from others’ minds.
【答案】1.F 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.E
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了在社交媒体和个人博客日益流行的背景下,过度分享行为的常见原因及其影响。
1.根据上文“With the increasing popularity of social websites and personal online blogs, the act of oversharing has become more common.(随着社交网站和个人在线博客的日益普及,过度分享的行为变得越来越普遍)”及下文“Telling a co-worker you don’t want a piece of birthday cake may be acceptable, but adding the fact you’re on a diet to lose 50 pounds would be oversharing. (告诉同事你不想吃生日蛋糕可能是可以接受的,但再加上你正在节食减肥50磅的事实就是过度分享了)”可知,过度分享的行为很常见,并举例说明了什么是过度分享,空处承上启下,引出过度分享的定义,F选项“过度分享意味着与他人分享过多个人信息”既承接了上文对过度分享现象的提及,又引出了下文关于过度分享具体例子的阐述,准确解释了过度分享的含义,符合语境。故选F项。
2.根据上文“Some oversharing is the result of a poorly developed social filter or “shut up button.” A mother may feel comfortable oversharing details of the birthing process with co-workers, for example, not realizing she is making others feel uncomfortable.(一些过度分享是由于社交判断力欠佳或缺乏 “闭嘴意识” 造成的。例如,一位母亲可能会毫无顾忌地向同事详细讲述分娩过程,却没有意识到自己让别人感到不适)”可知,上文以一位母亲向同事过度分享分娩过程细节为例,说明她没意识到自己的行为让别人不舒服,空处承接上文,进一步说明过度分享的影响,D选项“有些人可能没有意识到他们过度分享对他人的影响”与前文例子相呼应,进一步解释了这种过度分享是因为当事人没有意识到对他人的不良影响,符合逻辑。故选D项。
3.根据上文“Sometimes, oversharing is an attempt to break the ice or build closeness by sharing small embarrassing moments.(有时,过度分享是通过分享一些尴尬的小时刻来打破僵局或建立亲密关系的一种尝试)”可知,过度分享有时是为了打破僵局或建立亲密关系,空处承接上文,进一步说明这种过度分享的好处,并引出下文“However, there are still some lines which should not be crossed.(然而,仍然存在一些不应该逾越的界限)”关于界限的讨论,C选项“这种形式的过度分享可能有一些即时的好处”起到了承上启下的作用,既承接上文提到的过度分享的积极意图,又为后文转折提到其负面影响做铺垫。故选C。
4.根据下文“Those with few friends may see co-workers or strangers as family, sharing more than proper. While it may not be acceptable to tell too much information to strangers, it may feel acceptable to overshare with co-workers at lunch or the friendly cashier at a local restaurant.(那些朋友很少的人可能会把同事或陌生人视为家人,分享得太多了。虽然向陌生人透露太多信息可能是不可接受的,但在午餐时与同事或当地餐馆友好的收银员过多分享可能是可以接受的)”可知,本段主要讲朋友很少的人可能会过度分享。B选项“过度分享的另一个原因是没有亲密的朋友”直接点明了这一原因,与后文内容紧密相关,是该段的主题句。故选B项。
5.根据下文“We should avoid sharing too much with those who are not expecting it.(我们应该避免与那些没有期待的人分享太多)”可知,最后一段总结全文,强调在分享时应谨慎,空处说明对待过度分享的态度。故E项“然虽然有些过度分享在社交上是可以接受的,但还是要三思而后行”既承认了部分过度分享的可接受性,又强调了要谨慎过度分享,起到了总结和引导建议的作用,符合语境。故选E项。

Passage 20
(24-25高一上·广东广州·期末)Try writing your own stories
Creative writing is a fun way to express your thoughts and emotions. One typical form is a short story. A story is like a playground for your imagination. 1
You may know or not know what your story would be like. That’s OK. Sometimes it can feel frightening to write a story because you have an idea of what the story has to be. 2 Creative writing doesn’t have to follow traditional rules. When inspiration hits you, be ready to write down the idea.
3 Think about who you would like it to be, whether a person, an animal, or a mythical creature. Next, develop your character by answering a few questions: What does my character love and fear? What does my character want? Deciding your character’s ambitions in life will be the engine that drives your story.
Then you can put barriers in their way to add drama or humor to your story. Once you know what your character wants, you can add drama or humor to your story by putting barriers in their way. This is where writing a story gets really fun. 4 Ask yourself if you want your story to be serious or silly. If you’ re stuck for ideas about the barriers, think of the funniest, oddest thing you ever did.
Writing isn’t meant to be perfect the first time. 5 Try reading the first draft of your story out loud, and share it with a trusted family member or friend. Does it make sense and get the reaction you have in mind? If not, you can go back to your story and make changes to get it to a place you’re happy with.
A.That’s why we have drafts and revisions.
B.So you are likely to give up your inspiration.
C.It’s a great place to experiment and try new ideas.
D.A great place to begin any story is with a main character.
E.But there is no right or wrong when you’re writing a story.
F.This is also when you can decide on the tone of your story.
G.The more characters you create, the funnier your story will be.

Drop: When you feel the ground shaking or something crashing, get down on your hands and knees. 3 Quickly crawl (缓慢行进) under a strong desk or table nearby. Don’t try to run downstairs or walk to a safer place because you might fall. If you are in bed, stay there and cover your head with a pillow until the shaking stops.
Cover: Use one hand to cover your neck and head. 4 If not, move towards a wall inside the building, not the outside walls with windows. Stay on your hands and knees, keeping your hand over your neck for protection.
Hold on: Hold onto your desk or table with one hand while keeping the other over your neck and head. Be ready to move with the desk or table. 5
