Passage 1
(2017·天津·高考真题)Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ space. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.

Passage 2
(2021·山东淄博·三模)Many teens may feel anxious sometimes. It’s the kind of nervousness that makes you bite your nails before a big test. We spend more time online than we should. We feel good about ourselves or bad based on how many Likes and Followers we get on social media. Young people are developing a false view of life.
On the screen, we see what people want to show us. People usually only post photos where they are looking their best. They are surrounded by friends and seem that they are having a great time. No one seems sad or lonely. In short, life is fabulous. But sooner or later, our young people compare their real life to it. They find that theirs doesn’t seem as fun or exciting and grow worried that they may be missing out.
No wonder teachers are reporting more anxious students. It’s reported that a lot more college students feel ―overwhelming anxiety. The percentage jumped from 50% in 2011 to 62% in 2016. Anxiety is now the most common mental-health problem in my country. It affects nearly one-third of teens and adults.
Certainly, we can’t blame it on social media alone. We expect too much from our children and a lot of these expectations aren’t reasonable. Their schedules are packed with sports, clubs and homework. They don’t have enough free time. We want our children to succeed, and we don’t care how much it costs.
As parents, we must have more balance. On one hand, we push too hard, and on the other hand, we make life too easy for children. We shouldn’t and can’t promise our children that they will always be happy. We shouldn’t try to protect them from the problems of everyday life. Let them solve the problems in person.
6.What is the text mainly about
A.What causes teens’ nervousness.
B.How to deal with teens’ anxiety.
C.What a view of life means to people.
D.How to treat social media appropriately.
7.What does the underlined word “fabulous” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Wonderful. B.Encouraging. C.Anxious. D.Doubtful.
8.Why does the author mention the numbers in paragraph 3
A.To draw teachers’ attention.
B.To show teachers’ mental problems.
C.To present the seriousness of teens’ anxiety.
D.To show adults have more problems than teens.
9.What should parents do to help their children out
A.Try to meet their expectations.
B.Help them with their homework.
C.Give them more free time to play sports.
D.Allow them to solve their own problems in life.
Passage 3
(2021·河北衡水中学二模)An amount of the best research on daily experience, according to some experts, is based on rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.
Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.
More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of disapproval or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms. You assume that situations are worse than they actually are.
When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good thing that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than how they are for a negative one.
We need at least 3 to 5 positive interactions to outweigh one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation* keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on what’s going right.
Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.
10.What does the underlined phrase “tune out” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Stop listening. B.Change one’s mind.
C.Sing aloud. D.Be crazy.
11.What will happen if we experience negative emotions
A.The situations are sure to become worse.
B.Much of our thinking will be prevented.
C.We will feel an urge to improve and become better.
D.We’ll be motivated to settle conflicts with people.
12.What can we learn from paragraph 4
A.We need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling.
B.Positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones.
C.Our conversation should center on what needs improvement.
D.The effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones.
13.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Harmful Negative Interactions
B.More Positive Interactions
C.How to Promote Workplace Productivity
D.Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects
Passage 4
(2021·江苏·南京师大附中三模)For as long as I can remember, my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up, I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight. But no matter how much I ate, I stayed thin for years until adolescence. Then I started putting on weight almost immediately. I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out. However, my joy didn't last long.
I was thirteen when I was first called fat. Friends and neighbours would make jokes on my big size. As I entered my late teens, I had completely lost confidence in my body and, subsequently, in myself. Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards, I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved, I needed to offer more, doing anything to please everyone around.
I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't “enough”—an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that “skinny” is celebrated, but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight—self improvement, discipline—all virtues. Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined. Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked, I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention. I failed to realize, for example, that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before. Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries.
I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life; I have learnt this is not true. After a lot of self reflection and some professional help, I realized I never learnt to like myself. While two decades of self hatred cannot be undone overnight, I have taken first steps to acceptance.
I am now much lighter than before, in body and mind. There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy, but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long. As long as I like myself, just the way I am, opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back.
14.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A.She could change her weight at will.
B.She had different beauty standards from others.
C.She tried to love others to build her confidence.
D.She was greatly influenced by others' opinions.
15.Why did the author think she wasn't “enough”
A.She was poorly disciplined.
B.She failed to celebrate “skinny”.
C.She was labelled as lazy for her weight.
D.She put on more weight after entering adulthood.
16.What caused the author to make a change
A.Her lighter body. B.A troublesome illness.
C.Popular beauty standards. D.Others' critical comments.
17.What is the best title for the text
A.Beauty matters. B.Opinions vary.
C.Worth your weight. D.Beyond your limits.
Passage 5
(2021·宁夏·银川一中模拟预测)It's no surprise that stress and anxiety are often viewed in a negative light, but Lisa Damour, a private-practice psychologist, suggests they're not always bad for us. She claims that a little bit of both can help build mental resilience and these experiences can sometimes benefit us.
Damour explained how stress often occurs when people operate at the edge of their abilities - when they push themselves or are forced by situations to stretch beyond their familiar limits. This can result from both bad and good events, she said. For instance, being fired is stressful, but so is bringing a baby home for the first time. She described how stress is unavoidable in daily life and that medium levels of stress “can have an inoculating function”, which can lead to “higher than average resilience” when we face new difficulties.
“Anxiety gets an unnecessarily bad comment,” she said, “Anxiety is an alarm system inside the body, likely handed down by evolution, which informs us of threats from both outside, such as a driver turning aside suddenly, and inside, such as when we've wasted too much time and it's time to get started on a task.”
Viewing anxiety as sometimes helpful or even protective allows people to make good use of it, suggests Damour. For example, she often tells the teenagers she works with in her practice to pay attention if they start to feel anxious at a party because their nerves may be warning them of a problem.
18.When do people feel stressed according to Damour
A.They have much work to do. B.They lose their favorite things.
C.They deal with different situations. D.They're engaged in doing unfamiliar things.
19.What does the underlined word “inoculating” probably mean in paragraph 2
A.Unexpected. B.Unbearable. C.Positive. D.Determining.
20.What's the purpose of paragraph 3
A.To explain the reason for being anxious. B.To demonstrate the benefits of anxiety.
C.To state the risk of being anxious. D.To present the solution to anxiety.
21.What does the text mainly talk about
A.Stress and anxiety aren't always bad. B.Stress and anxiety are part of our lives.
C.We should focus on positive things in life. D.We should deal with stress and anxiety carefully.
Passage 6
(2021·四川德阳·三模)When I look into a mirror, I’m often shocked by the hatred expression staring back at me. I’m not necessarily angry, sad, or even displeased. I’m just absorbed. I’m so anxious that I don’t realize what my face is doing. Apparently when ignored, my facial muscles changed to the same angry looks I saw on my own mother’s face as a child.
I used to think she was always mad at me. Once when I asked her what I’d done, she replied, “Nothing. I’m not upset with you; I’m focused on a million other things. Just ignore my face.”
It'’ impossible as no one can ignore your face. The face is the window into the mind: we read others’ expressions to recognize what they’re feeling.
Our emotion can be influential, especially a mom’s, which is why we must let positive energy be what we reflect, as today’s key poetry reminds us: “Let the light of your face shine on us.”
We will make parenting mistakes, as there’s no getting around that. It’s part of the human package. But if we take every possible opportunity to communicate unconditional love to our kids—and use words—they’ll be better able to embrace the society. There’s comfort in knowing we don’t have to be perfect parents to raise children, isn’t there We are all used to working with fault.
I choose to be a beautiful mom, even if my kids and I are the only ones looking. Smiles make me beautiful. Smiling promotes trust, reflects positivity and helps us all relax. It connects people and makes me friendlier. Besides, it’s guaranteed to lift my own mood every time.
Maybe I should tell my face the good news more often, make a serious effort to be more aware of my unconscious face, and show my expressions others as an instrument of praise.
22.What causes the author’s misunderstanding about her mother
A.Her mother’s annoyed look. B.Her mother’s absorption in look.
C.Her mother’s facial aging. D.Her mother’s emotional reaction to kids.
23.Which does the underlined word “fault” mean in Paragraph 5
A.Ease B.Care. C.Imperfection. D.Approval
24.How should we convey love to children as parents according the passage
A.By hugging them firmly in time. B.By raising them unconditionally.
C.By keeping them company long. D.By expressing it straightforwardly.
25.What can be the best title of the text
A.Turn into Qualified Parents B.Wear a Cheerful Expression
C.Embrace the Society in Life D.Explore the Magic of Body Language
Passage 7
(2021·浙江·绍兴一中模拟预测)September is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.
Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.
But remember, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.
Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, “nostos” from Greek, and the accompanying pain, “algos”.
Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.
26.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A.homesickness means a fond memory of the past
B.only a few students will experience homesickness
C.homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen
D.college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks
27.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A.Some benefits about homesickness.
B.Other problems in college freshmen’s life.
C.How to make campus life more meaningful.
D.Some tips on how to cope with homesickness.
28.In the author’s eyes, homesickness is ________.
A.common but solvable B.unexpected and cheerful
C.temporary but discouraging D.inevitable and disgusting
Passage 8
(2020·云南民族大学附属中学三模)Many people avoid apologizing because admitting to wrongdoing makes them uncomfortable. “We like to view ourselves as good people-as kind and considerate,” says Ryan Fehr, a professor at the University of Washington. “Apologies force us to admit to ourselves that we don't always live up to our own standards. We might also fear that the victim won't accept our apology, further damaging our positive sense of self. For these reasons, an apology can be very difficult to give.”
For many, apologizing is stressful, awkward and uncomfortable. But a heartfelt apology has positive effects. It can improve your mental health, repair damaged relationships and promote self-esteem. “Apology acts as a signal of one's moral character,” Fehr says.
Researchers at Ohio State University have determined that effective apologies have five elements: expressing regret, explaining what went wrong, acknowledging responsibility, offering to repair the situation and requesting forgiveness. All five aren't necessary every time. “The more of those elements were included, the more likely the apology was seen as convincing,” says Roy Lewicki, the lead study author. “Acknowledgement of responsibility turned out to be the most important piece, followed by an explanation of why it happened and declaration of regret.”
“Sometimes, an immediate apology is called for,” says Antony Manstead, a psychology professor at Cardiff University. “But if the other party is angry at your wrongdoing, it may be more effective to wait, because their anger may stop them accepting an apology. Some research suggests that a delay increases an apology's effectiveness because it conveys that the wrongdoer has had time to reflect on. his/her misdeeds,” says Mara Olekalns, a professor of management at Melbourne Business School. “The best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize,” says Etienne Mullet, research director of the Ethics and Work Laboratory at the Institute of Advanced Studies. “There is nothing worse in these situations than insincere apologies.”
29.Why do many people feel uncomfortable to apologize
A.They are kind and considerate people. B.They are afraid of losing face.
C.They believe themselves right. D.They have high moral standards.
30.What is the most important when it comes to making an effective apology
A.To express regret. B.To express what went wrong.
C.To accept responsibility. D.To request forgiveness.
31.What can be inferred about an apology from the last paragraph
A.The sooner, the better. B.The later, the better.
C.The more often, the better. D.The more genuine, the better.
32.What is the passage mainly about
A.How you can make an effective apology. B.Why people avoid apologizing.
C.What benefits you can get from an apology. D.When you can make a heartfelt apology.
