（22-23高一下·河南·期中）Bad judgments are meant to feed our own personal ego (自我意识) and put others down, which is not the healthiest thing to do. Here are five reasons why you should stop it now.
You start finding faults in everyone. Judging quickly moves on to more private areas of your life. 1 You fail to appreciate them and start getting dissatisfied with them. You become critical of even those who matter to you.
Judging becomes a habit. If you judge people, sooner or later, it becomes a habit, and you start judging everyone around you for the tiniest of things. 2 And you might dismiss even the best of people through these microscopic judgments.
People begin to distrust you. If you pass judgments about other people in front of your audience, you will lose their trust. As they will begin to feel that if you can judge others in front of them, you can talk about them behind their back. 3
Judgment is a sign of unhappiness. If you are 100% happy with who you are, you are a lot less likely to feel the need to judge others. If you are self-assured, you will not feel the need to cast a downward glance at others. 4 Either way, it is a negative attitude.
5 If you’re judging others, you’re probably judging yourself pretty harshly as well. You often tend to think that if you are judging people by what they wear, someone might in turn judge you, which, as a consequence, makes you extremely concerned with your appearance.
A．You are viewed positively by people.
B．You start taking yourself too seriously.
C．Hence, seeing others positively shows we are positive people.
D．You judge their clothing, actions, success, values, and everything.
E．Likewise, you also judge because you feel you are better than others.
F．You start judging your close ones; friends, family members, partner, etc.
G．And no one wants to make friends with someone often talking unkindly about others.
【答案】1．F 2．D 3．G 4．E 5．B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了不要随意评价他人的几个原因。
【详解】1. 上文“Judging quickly moves on to more private areas of your life.(评价很快就会转移到你生活中更私人的领域)”表示评价的范围，F选项“你开始评价亲近的人；朋友、家人、伴侣等”具体说明了上一句说的私人领域的范围，与前文语境紧密相连。故选F项。
2. 上文“If you judge people, sooner or later, it becomes a habit, and you start judging everyone around you for the tiniest of things.(如果你评价别人，迟早会成为一种习惯，你会开始为最微小的事情评价你周围的每个人)”表明评价会成为习惯，D选项“你评判他们的衣着、行为、成功、价值观和一切”与前文judging everyone around you for the tiniest of things呼应，解释这些最微小的事情的内容，与前文语境紧密相连。故选D项。
3. 上文“People begin to distrust you. If you pass judgments about other people in front of your audience, you will lose their trust. As they will begin to feel that if you can judge others in front of them, you can talk about them behind their back.(人们开始不信任你。如果你在听众面前评价别人，你会失去他们的信任。因为他们会开始觉得，如果你能在他们面前评判别人，你就能在背后谈论他们)”描述评价他人会给自己带来不好的印象，G选项“没有人想和经常说别人坏话的人交朋友”表示之后的后果，为上文的补充，语境一致。故选G项。
4. 上文“If you are self-assured, you will not feel the need to cast a downward glance at others.(如果你自信，你就不会觉得有必要看不起别人)”表明，如果自己自信的话，就没必要评价他人，E选项“同样，你也会因为觉得自己比别人好而做出评价”与上文形成对比，表明如果自己感到比别人优越，就会对别人说三道四，结构和逻辑一致，且与后文“either way”呼应。故选E项。
5. 下文“If you’re judging others, you’re probably judging yourself pretty harshly as well. You often tend to think that if you are judging people by what they wear, someone might in turn judge you, which, as a consequence, makes you extremely concerned with your appearance.(如果你对别人评头论足，你对自己的评价可能也相当苛刻。你往往会认为，如果你通过别人的穿着来评判他们，那么别人也会反过来评判你，因此，你会非常关注自己的外表)”表明如果对别人评价，对自己要求也严格，B选项“你开始认真看待自己”与本段内容主旨相符，总领下文。故选B项。
（22-23高一下·云南曲靖·期中）A Few Tips to Become a Top Student
As a teaching assistant at a university, I found some learning tips. 6
1. Devote more time.
You should study two to three hours outside of your class per week. I can tell you that spending an hour of self-studying for every credit hour will put you ahead of a lot of your classmates.

（22-23高一下·陕西榆林·期中）Kid’s birthday parties are wonderfully fun for all, but in the way that they are traditionally celebrated, the are the enemy of “zero waste living”. A kid’s birthday party can produce lots of waste, from the plates, cups and uneaten food, to the gift wrap, present boxes, and disposable (一次性的) decorations. It doesn’t have to be like that. 21 .
Invitations
Forget the themed paper invitations; they get thrown away almost immediately anyway. 22 The mobile phone is a common communication tool which enables your guests to receive the invitation at any time.
Decorations
23 Stay away from them altogether, including balloons. If you must decorate, choose some reusable, classic decorations that can be pulled out every single year, such as colored lights. Make your own painted and personalized banner, paper hats, and so on. Keep them for the next year.
Food
Don’t overdo the food preparation. 24 So you should put out only what is necessary, rather than ending up with loads of leftovers that are potentially ruined by the kids. Keep the rest for other meals. If other parents bring food, ask them to bring it in reusable containers.
Gifts
The gift giving part of a birthday party can produce a lot of unappealing trash, which is why you should choose an alternative. My kids have gone to several toonie parties ( a toonie is a two - dollar coin it Canada ), where each guest gives two dollars in their card and that money can be used by the birthday child to buy a single toy.
25
A．However, most parents find it hard to hold a “clean” party.
B．It’s a great idea for reducing waste and making a child’s birthday wishes come true.
C．Try using a basic email or phone call to create your guest list.

（22-23高一下·四川达州·期中）Lying to friends and family members may seem like a way to lose their trust. 31 Researchers found that lying for the right reasons can actually strengthen some social bonds (联系).
32 That depends on the situation. Lying to cover up a misdeed (不端行为), known as anti-social lying, isn’t likely to improve your relationships. 33 On the other hand, lies told to help another person are good for relationships. It is commonly known as telling a white lie.
To study how these two types of lies affect relationships within social groups, researchers created a hypothetical (假定的) mathematical model. The model showed that individuals who tell anti-social lies become isolated (孤立的) within their social networks sometimes. 34 In fact, these individuals are likely to form strong links with other individuals within their social networks.
While the researchers created a hypothetical model, it could be used to understand how lying affects groups of friends in the real world. 35
A．Do white lies serve a social function
B．And real-world lies can take many forms.
C．What exactly are the “right” reasons for lying
D．But new research suggests this may not always be the case.
E．This type of lie weakens the friendships between two people.
F．However, individuals who tell white lies don’t have such feeling.
G．It could also help scientists understand the influence of lying in online communities.
【答案】31．D 32．C 33．E 34．F 35．G

32．根据下文“That depends on the situation. Lying to cover up a misdeed (不端行为), known as anti-social lying, isn’t likely to improve your relationships.”（那要看情况而定。用谎言来掩盖错误行为，被称为反社会的谎言，不太可能改善你的人际关系。）可知，提到用谎言来掩盖错误的行为和帮助别人而撒的谎。可知都与撒谎的理由有关。结合选项C项What exactly are the “right” reasons for lying （说谎的“正确”理由到底是什么？）意思一致，为总结下文内容。故选C项。
33．根据上文“Lying to cover up a misdeed (不端行为), known as anti-social lying, isn’t likely to improve your relationships.”（用谎言来掩盖错误行为，被称为反社会的谎言，不太可能改善你的人际关系。）以及下文“On the other hand, lies told to help another person are good for relationships.”（另一方面，为了帮助别人而说的谎言对人际关系有好处。）说明相反方面的情况。可推知，空格处内容为还是在说消极的内容。结合选项E项This type of lie weakens the friendships between two people.（这种谎言会削弱两个人之间的友谊。）符合此推断，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。

（22-23高一下·四川凉山·期中）Like everything else these days, the cost of a family vacation is rising. With spring break season upon us, here are some tips to help families stretch their vacation budgets.
Start with flights
Flights are often the biggest travel expense, so experts suggest dealing with them first. 36 . This includes searching for alternate airports near your departure and arrival destinations, and using flexible dates to show the lowest fares.
Find alternative destinations
As with flights, be flexible about your destination. 37 . When Mexico beach resorts were expensive last Thanksgiving, Gunjan Prakash, the founder and chief executive of the Families Love Travel blog, and her family went to Paris. This year they plan to go to Porto, Portugal, for Thanksgiving — another place that is not busy in November.
Avoid theme park pitfalls (陷阱)
For theme park vacations, “I always tell people don’t put money into your hotel because you’re never there,” Ms. Masarik said. 38 . For instance, in Florida, Disney World resorts like Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge start above $500 in early April, while the nearby Caribe Royale Orlando has rates from about $200, including shuttles to the parks.
39
Save money on food by eating breakfast in your room or rental and packing picnic lunches. Get creative with souvenirs. Instead of buying $25 T-shirts at each stop, have children select a postcard from each gift shop, then writing about their experiences and mailing them to relive the trip back home. 40 . “Emphasize the experience of the journey,” Ms. Grant of Families Love Travel said. “When it comes to traveling, the most important part is making memories and you can do that close to home.”
A．Spend selectively and nearby
B．Cut down the cost of souvenirs
C．Use basic flight-search budget strategies
D．Spending time outdoors doesn’t cost a family too much money
E．Consider visiting more popular places during their low seasons
F．Finally, you don’t have to go far to explore new things and to bond
G．Instead, choose cheaper accommodations with easy entrance to the park

40．后文““Emphasize the experience of the journey,” Ms. Grant of Families Love Travel said. “When it comes to traveling, the most important part is making memories and you can do that close to home.”(“强调旅行的体验，”Families Love Travel的Grant女士说。“说到旅行，最重要的是留下回忆，你可以在离家近的地方做这件事。”)”建议注重旅行体验，而非离家的距离，F项“Finally, you don’t have to go far to explore new things and to bond(最后，你不需要走很远去探索新事物和建立联系)”符合语境，提出不必去很远的地方，可以引出后文内容。故选F。
（22-23高一下·辽宁抚顺·期中）If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. 41
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. 42 Give others a chance to speak their minds and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
43 Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. If your friend is telling you about something that happened to him or her and you just don’t feel engaged (吸引住), it can help to imagine how you would feel in his or her situation. Try asking yourself how you would feel and what you would need if you were him or her. Then, keep those things in mind when you respond to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” statements. Fight the strong wish to talk about yourself in every conversation. It’s an easy habit to get into, but you can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively reduce the number of “I” and “me” statements you make in daily conversation. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. 44
Learn how to compromise (妥协). 45 Compromising means choosing to believe another person’s needs and desires are just as important as your own. Instead of demanding your way during a disagreement comes, try meeting the other person halfway so that each person gets some of their needs met.
A．Let someone else be in charge.
B．Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
C．If this sounds familiar to you, you can break that habit.
D．If there are other solutions, don’t always have to add yours.
E．Self-centered people want everything to go their way all the time.
F．Try reminding yourself to do that when you are not having a good time.
G．Change can be tough, but there are still useful tips you need on this journey.
【答案】41．G 42．C 43．B 44．F 45．E
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了怎样做才能不成为一个以自我为中心的人。
41．根据上文“If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. (如果你担心成为一个以自我为中心的人，这种担心表明你已经朝着改变迈出了重要的一步。)”可知，上文告诉我们如果你担心成为一个以自我为中心的人，这意味着你正在改变，G项意为“改变可能很艰难，但在这段旅程中，你仍然需要一些有用的提示。”选项能够承接上文，改变很艰难，所以你需要一些提示，且能引起下文，下文给出了具体的提示。故选G。
42．根据上文“Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. (以自我为中心的人经常以自己为中心进行对话，当焦点不在他们身上时，他们往往会感到无聊。)”可知，上文告诉我们以自我为中心的人经常以自己为中心进行对话，这种习惯并不可取，C项意为“如果这听起来很熟悉，你可以打破这个习惯。”选项能够承接上文，如果你也以自己为中心进行对话，需要改变这个习惯。故选C。
43．根据下文“Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. (想象自己处于他们的处境有助于你更好地理解他们。)”可知，本段内容告诉我们要学会站在别人的角度思考问题，B项意为“设身处地为别人着想。”选项能够概括段落主旨，下文具体解释了如何设身处地为别人着想。故选B。

（22-23高一下·山东德州·期中）You may be old enough to remember Evelyn Wood’s name for speed reading and speed learning. Inspired, her former business partner, Wechsler, shares four of the techniques successful speed readers use. 46
Hold Your Material at a 30-Degree Angle
Hold your book, or whatever you’re reading, at a 30-degree angle to your eyes. 47 Wechsler says reading from flat material is “painful to your retina, causes eye tiredness, and after about two hours often leads to dry eye and irritation”.
Move Your Head Left to Right as You Read
Moving your head slightly back and forth while you read helps stabilize images on your retina. 48 Wechsler says, “The secret of reading multiple words at a time is widening your vision.” This practice alone will help you increase your speed from 200 to 2,500 words per minute.
Read with a Pointer
Wechsler advocates using a pen, or pointer of some kind, even your finger, to underline each sentence as you read. Your vision will allow you to move through a sentence six times faster than reading each word. 49 “When using a pointer, never permit the point to touch the page,” Wechsler says.
Exercise Your Eyes for 60 Seconds Before Reading
50 “It sharpens your vision and activates your sight to speed up your learning speed,” Wechsler says. “This daily one-minute exercise may help you avoid eye-muscle tiredness.” Focus on a single spot on the wall 10 feet in front of you. With your hand extended at eye level, trace a symbol with your eyes.
A．Now you can learn with these four easy tips.
B．Relax the muscles on either side of your arms.
C．Never read material lying flat on a table or desk.
D．Your eyes become smooth and comfortable in 10 minutes.
E．Wechsler suggests you “warm up” your eyes before you start reading.
F．It also helps you stop reading individual words and read phrases instead.
G．The pointer helps you create a pace and focuses your attention on the page.
【答案】46．A 47．C 48．F 49．G 50．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成功的快速读者使用的四个技巧。
46．根据上文“You may be old enough to remember Evelyn Wood’s name for speed reading and speed learning. Inspired, her former business partner, Wechsler, shares four of the techniques successful speed readers use. (你可能已经足够大了，还记得伊芙琳·伍德在快速阅读和快速学习方面的名字。受到启发，她的前商业伙伴韦克斯勒分享了成功的快速读者使用的四个技巧)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应继续说明上文提到的四个技巧的情况，A选项中these four easy tips对应上文four of the techniques。故A选项“现在你可以用这四个简单的技巧来学习”符合语境，故选A。
47．根据上文“Hold your book, or whatever you’re reading, at a 30-degree angle to your eyes. (拿着你的书，或者你正在读的任何东西，与眼睛成30度角)”可知，上文提到阅读的东西与眼睛成30度角，即不要平放材料进行阅读。故C选项“永远不要阅读平放在桌子上的材料”符合语境，故选C。
48．根据上文“Moving your head slightly back and forth while you read helps stabilize images on your retina. (阅读时，头部稍微前后移动有助于稳定视网膜上的图像)”以及后文“Wechsler says, “The secret of reading multiple words at a time is widening your vision.” This practice alone will help you increase your speed from 200 to 2,500 words per minute. (韦克斯勒说：“一次阅读多个单词的秘诀是拓宽你的视野。”单单这个练习就能帮助你把语速从每分钟200字提高到2500字)”可知，本句主要说明“头部稍微前后移动”的作用：帮助你停止阅读单个单词，而是阅读短语。故F选项“它还可以帮助你停止阅读单个单词，而是阅读短语”符合语境，故选F。
49．根据上文“Wechsler advocates using a pen, or pointer of some kind, even your finger, to underline each sentence as you read. Your vision will allow you to move through a sentence six times faster than reading each word. (韦氏提倡在阅读时用笔或某种指针，甚至是手指在每句话下划线。你的视觉会让你以比阅读每个单词快六倍的速度阅读一个句子)”可知，上文提到了使用指针，可知本句是在说明指针的作用：使你的注意力集中在页面上。故G选项“指针帮助你设定节奏，使你的注意力集中在页面上”符合语境，故选G。
50．根据后文““It sharpens your vision and activates your sight to speed up your learning speed,” Wechsler says. “This daily one-minute exercise may help you avoid eye-muscle tiredness.” Focus on a single spot on the wall 10 feet in front of you. With your hand extended at eye level, trace a symbol with your eyes. (韦克斯勒说：“它能使你的视力更敏锐，激活你的视力，从而加快你的学习速度。每天一分钟的锻炼可以帮助你避免眼肌疲劳。”把注意力集中在你前面10英尺的墙上的一个点上。手伸出与眼睛平齐，用眼睛描画一个符号)”可知，后文提到了某种活动可以激活视力，故本句是在说明具体的做法：在开始阅读前“热身”眼睛。故E选项“韦克斯勒建议在开始阅读前‘热身’眼睛”符合语境，故选E。
（2023·高一山东威海·期中）A future where insects make up a large part of the world’s diet is on the horizon. Despite the unpleasant nature of such cuisine, insects have been considered a delicacy in some parts of world for centuries. Their being low-fat and high-protein makes them a perfect choice for reducing hunger. 51
Animal protein from livestock (家畜), such as cows, chicken and pigs, takes up 80 percent of the entire world’s farmland, despite only making up less than one-fifth of calories consumed globally. 52 Thus it would support a variety of biodiversity as nature intended.
Insects such as grasshoppers, meal worms and crickets are packed full of protein with much higher vitamin levels than pork or beef. 53 Greenhouse gas emissions through this process are also very little, with insect waste making excellent fertilizer (肥料) for agricultural soil.
It seems that insects are an ideal solution for many issues the world today is faced with. 54 Urban areas of Asia, Europe and North America are most likely to associate insects with dirt instead of as a tasty meal.
Times are changing. The European Union last year declared that meal worms were safe for human consumption. Cricket protein powder is also increasing greatly in popularity, with Canada rapidly becoming the largest market for the product.
55 As we explore our solar system, efficient means of producing animal based-proteins will become vital. None are more efficient space-wise than insects. And the colonies of the future could well find themselves enjoying fried crickets with a pint of beer while watching the Martian sunset.
A．They also have a host of environmental benefits.
B．Insects reproduce quickly and have high growth rates.
C．Unlike agriculture, insects produce far fewer greenhouse gases.
D．They require little space, water and technology to raise compared to livestock.
E．However, making them a delicious cuisine can be a challenge in several cultures.
F．By freeing up livestock space, huge expanses of land could be returned to nature.
G．A future where insects will become invaluable to space exploration is also upcoming.
【答案】51．A 52．F 53．D 54．E 55．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用昆虫制作美味佳肴的好处。昆虫低脂肪和高蛋白使它们成为减少饥饿的完美选择，而且用昆虫制作美味佳肴还能带来许多环境效益。
51．上文“Despite the unpleasant nature of such cuisine, insects have been considered a delicacy in some parts of world for centuries. Their being low-fat and high-protein makes them a perfect choice for reducing hunger. (尽管这种烹饪方式令人不快，但几个世纪以来，昆虫一直被视为世界上某些地区的美味佳肴。它们的低脂肪和高蛋白使它们成为减少饥饿的完美选择)”指出昆虫成为美味佳肴的原因，A项“它们还有许多环境效益。”承接上文，继续描述昆虫成为美味佳肴的原因，故选A。
52．上文“Animal protein from livestock (家畜), such as cows, chicken and pigs, takes up 80 percent of the entire world’s farmland, despite only making up less than one-fifth of calories consumed globally.(来自牲畜，如牛、鸡和猪的动物蛋白，占据了全世界80%的农田，尽管只占全球消耗卡路里的不到五分之一)”指出牲畜占据了全世界80%的农田，F项“通过释放牲畜的空间，大片的土地可以回归自然。”承接上文，指出释放这些空间，会有好处，故选F。
53．上文“Insects such as grasshoppers, meal worms and crickets are packed full of protein with much higher vitamin levels than pork or beef.(蝗虫、粉虫和蟋蟀等昆虫富含蛋白质，维生素含量比猪肉或牛肉高得多)”指出饲养昆虫的好处，即昆虫富含蛋白质，维生素含量比猪肉或牛肉高得多，下文“Greenhouse gas emissions through this process are also very little, with insect waste making excellent fertilizer(肥料) for agricultural soil.(通过这一过程的温室气体排放量也很少，昆虫废弃物可以作为农业土壤的优质肥料)”也是在讲饲养昆虫的好处。由此可知，空处也应围绕饲养昆虫的好处来写，D项“与畜牧业相比，它们需要很少的空间、水和技术来饲养。”承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
54．上文“It seems that insects are an ideal solution for many issues the world today is faced with.(昆虫似乎是当今世界面临的许多问题的理想解决方案)”指出用昆虫制作美味佳肴能解决许多问题，下文“Urban areas of Asia, Europe and North America are most likely to associate insects with dirt instead of as a tasty meal.(在亚洲、欧洲和北美的城市地区，人们更倾向于将昆虫与泥土联系在一起，而不是将其作为美味的一餐)”指出有些地区不用昆虫来做美味佳肴。由此可知，E项“然而，在不同的文化中，做出美味的菜肴是一个挑战。”和上文是转折关系，且下文具体说明了E项内容，故选E。
55．下文“As we explore our solar system, efficient means of producing animal based-proteins will become vital. None are more efficient space-wise than insects. (随着我们探索太阳系，生产动物蛋白质的有效方法将变得至关重要。在空间利用方面，没有什么比昆虫更有效率)”指出昆虫在太空探索方面发挥的作用。由此可知，G项“昆虫将成为太空探索无价之宝的未来也即将到来。”引起下文，符合语境，故选G。

57 As contestants (参赛者) run, they have to toss the pancake in the air so that it flips and lands back in the pan on the other side. The winner is the first to reach the finish line, although they should also be careful to make sure that the pancake is complete and that it hasn’t broken along the way.
One of the most famous pancake races is the Rehab Parliamentary Pancake Race. This takes place on the morning of Shrove Tuesday in London, outside the Houses of Parliament. 58 One team is made up of Members of Parliament, and the other is made up of journalists. Most of them take part in the race wearing their work suits! The race is shown on the news and is covered on TV all around the world. 59 It raises awareness for the charity Rehab, which works with people with disabilities and others who suffer from social exclusion in the UK.
Another important aspect of the race is the official starter. 60 This is seen as an important role and is usually given to a British news presenter. But whoever is chosen usually has a hard time trying to control the race—the MPs are known for cheating every year!
A．One of those is pancake racing.
B．The race is a competition between two teams.
C．That is the person chosen to announce the start of the race.
D．Rome schools or businesses hold special Pancake Day events.

（22-23高一下·河南·期中）Bad judgments are meant to feed our own personal ego (自我意识) and put others down, which is not the healthiest thing to do. Here are five reasons why you should stop it now.
You start finding faults in everyone. Judging quickly moves on to more private areas of your life. 1 You fail to appreciate them and start getting dissatisfied with them. You become critical of even those who matter to you.
Judging becomes a habit. If you judge people, sooner or later, it becomes a habit, and you start judging everyone around you for the tiniest of things. 2 And you might dismiss even the best of people through these microscopic judgments.
People begin to distrust you. If you pass judgments about other people in front of your audience, you will lose their trust. As they will begin to feel that if you can judge others in front of them, you can talk about them behind their back. 3
Judgment is a sign of unhappiness. If you are 100% happy with who you are, you are a lot less likely to feel the need to judge others. If you are self-assured, you will not feel the need to cast a downward glance at others. 4 Either way, it is a negative attitude.
5 If you’re judging others, you’re probably judging yourself pretty harshly as well. You often tend to think that if you are judging people by what they wear, someone might in turn judge you, which, as a consequence, makes you extremely concerned with your appearance.
A．You are viewed positively by people.
B．You start taking yourself too seriously.
C．Hence, seeing others positively shows we are positive people.
D．You judge their clothing, actions, success, values, and everything.
E．Likewise, you also judge because you feel you are better than others.
F．You start judging your close ones; friends, family members, partner, etc.
G．And no one wants to make friends with someone often talking unkindly about others.

As a teaching assistant at a university, I found some learning tips. 6
1. Devote more time.
You should study two to three hours outside of your class per week. I can tell you that spending an hour of self-studying for every credit hour will put you ahead of a lot of your classmates. Studying for long hours will often be necessary when you have an exam. 7 . Psychologists say a healthy amount of sleep will help you remember what you have learned!
2. Manage your Study time.
My best students are the ones who find time to complete parts of the homework well before it’s due. Topper students are not ahead of intelligence of mental skill. 8 They manage time so well that they won’t feel guilty after exams when they think they could have done better.
3. Prepare summary notes.
Prepare summary notes in advance. They should mainly cover all important definitions(定义), points or flowcharts which are more likely to come in exams.
9
This might look opposite of what you have heard till now. However, studying for more hours are less effective than studying for less time along with enough breaks in between.

It can lead us to enlightenment. It is education that builds in every individual the confidence to make decisions, to face life and to accept success and failure.
For the progress of a nation, for the enrichment of society in general, education is necessary and important. A country’s literate population is its asset(有利条件). The number of institutes offering vocational courses and colleges offering online education is increasing by the day.
Well, schools, colleges and other such educational institutes define the basic framework of education. But education does not end here. 15 Self-learning begins at a point where institutional education ends. The process of self-learning continues.

（22-23高一下·黑龙江大庆·期中）Tea is currently the world’s most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. 16 And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their “Cup of tea ”
While we know that tea drink started in China, its true origin remains something of a mystery. Legend has it that about 5,000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. 17
18 Over the years, as tea drinking became an important part of China’s rich culture. The great Tang poet Du Fu described his tea-drinking experience in poetic language. Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world.
It is then not surprising that the beauty of tea was eventually spread to a wider world. 19 Porters (脚夫) carrying back-breaking loads of tea bricks made their way through dangerous snow-covered mountain passes, to trade Sichuan and Yunnan tea for horses: 20 As early as the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks came to study in China and took with them tea seeds and tea-making customs when returning to Japan.

（22-23高一下·陕西榆林·期中）Kid’s birthday parties are wonderfully fun for all, but in the way that they are traditionally celebrated, the are the enemy of “zero waste living”. A kid’s birthday party can produce lots of waste, from the plates, cups and uneaten food, to the gift wrap, present boxes, and disposable (一次性的) decorations. It doesn’t have to be like that. 21 .
Invitations
Forget the themed paper invitations; they get thrown away almost immediately anyway. 22 The mobile phone is a common communication tool which enables your guests to receive the invitation at any time.
Decorations
23 Stay away from them altogether, including balloons. If you must decorate, choose some reusable, classic decorations that can be pulled out every single year, such as colored lights. Make your own painted and personalized banner, paper hats, and so on. Keep them for the next year.
Food
Don’t overdo the food preparation. 24 So you should put out only what is necessary, rather than ending up with loads of leftovers that are potentially ruined by the kids. Keep the rest for other meals. If other parents bring food, ask them to bring it in reusable containers.
Gifts
The gift giving part of a birthday party can produce a lot of unappealing trash, which is why you should choose an alternative. My kids have gone to several toonie parties ( a toonie is a two - dollar coin it Canada ), where each guest gives two dollars in their card and that money can be used by the birthday child to buy a single toy.
25
A．However, most parents find it hard to hold a “clean” party.
B．It’s a great idea for reducing waste and making a child’s birthday wishes come true.
C．Try using a basic email or phone call to create your guest list.
D．Kids hardly eat anything at birthday parties because they’re so excited.
E．Decorations can usually make the party room more attractive.
F．Here are some ideas on how to cut down on unnecessary, waste and have a fun celebration.
G．Decorations for kids’ birthday parties are almost always disposable.
（22-23高一下·河北石家庄·期中）How many books have you finished since high school Between study, work, family, and social lives, trying to find time to read needs more effort than a relaxing hobby. How can you get reading books into your full schedule 26
Borrow more books than you can read. Libraries have very large “limits” on books you can take out. 27 Return anything you don’t like. Some of the most efficient readers return five out of six books unread. This is not something to be ashamed of.
28 If you have a whole morning to read, you might hope for more kinds. People who read a lot have something going to suit all tastes.
Try the 50-page rule. If you feel you have to finish all the books you start, you may be stuck in something boring and not read again for weeks. 29 You’ll find something else you love more soon.
Don’t care about any thoughts about what you “should” be reading. It is OK if you are not so interested in the world’s great literature. Read what you want. 30 If you’re only reading because you “should” read, then over time, reading will drop from the top of your list down to laundry level or going to the dentist.
A．Read more than one book at a time.
B．You may have trouble deciding what to read first.
C．Here’s how to make more time for your favorite books.
D．So go crazy and borrow anything that looks interesting.
E．Quit after a few dozen pages if you’re not feeling into it.
F．Reading is one of the most pleasurable activities out there.
G．People don’t do well with the feelings of suffering long term.
（22-23高一下·四川达州·期中）Lying to friends and family members may seem like a way to lose their trust. 31 Researchers found that lying for the right reasons can actually strengthen some social bonds (联系).
32 That depends on the situation. Lying to cover up a misdeed (不端行为), known as anti-social lying, isn’t likely to improve your relationships. 33 On the other hand, lies told to help another person are good for relationships. It is commonly known as telling a white lie.
To study how these two types of lies affect relationships within social groups, researchers created a hypothetical (假定的) mathematical model. The model showed that individuals who tell anti-social lies become isolated (孤立的) within their social networks sometimes. 34 In fact, these individuals are likely to form strong links with other individuals within their social networks.
While the researchers created a hypothetical model, it could be used to understand how lying affects groups of friends in the real world. 35
A．Do white lies serve a social function
B．And real-world lies can take many forms.
C．What exactly are the “right” reasons for lying
D．But new research suggests this may not always be the case.
E．This type of lie weakens the friendships between two people.
F．However, individuals who tell white lies don’t have such feeling.
G．It could also help scientists understand the influence of lying in online communities.
（22-23高一下·四川凉山·期中）Like everything else these days, the cost of a family vacation is rising. With spring break season upon us, here are some tips to help families stretch their vacation budgets.
Start with flights
Flights are often the biggest travel expense, so experts suggest dealing with them first. 36 . This includes searching for alternate airports near your departure and arrival destinations, and using flexible dates to show the lowest fares.
Find alternative destinations
As with flights, be flexible about your destination. 37 . When Mexico beach resorts were expensive last Thanksgiving, Gunjan Prakash, the founder and chief executive of the Families Love Travel blog, and her family went to Paris. This year they plan to go to Porto, Portugal, for Thanksgiving — another place that is not busy in November.
Avoid theme park pitfalls (陷阱)
For theme park vacations, “I always tell people don’t put money into your hotel because you’re never there,” Ms. Masarik said. 38 . For instance, in Florida, Disney World resorts like Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge start above $500 in early April, while the nearby Caribe Royale Orlando has rates from about $200, including shuttles to the parks.
39
Save money on food by eating breakfast in your room or rental and packing picnic lunches. Get creative with souvenirs. Instead of buying $25 T-shirts at each stop, have children select a postcard from each gift shop, then writing about their experiences and mailing them to relive the trip back home. 40 . “Emphasize the experience of the journey,” Ms. Grant of Families Love Travel said. “When it comes to traveling, the most important part is making memories and you can do that close to home.”
A．Spend selectively and nearby
B．Cut down the cost of souvenirs
C．Use basic flight-search budget strategies
D．Spending time outdoors doesn’t cost a family too much money
E．Consider visiting more popular places during their low seasons
F．Finally, you don’t have to go far to explore new things and to bond
G．Instead, choose cheaper accommodations with easy entrance to the park
（22-23高一下·辽宁抚顺·期中）If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. 41
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centered people often make conversations center around themselves and they tend to get bored when the focus isn’t on them. 42 Give others a chance to speak their minds and do your best to show that you’re really listening.
43 Imagining yourself in their situation helps you understand them better. If your friend is telling you about something that happened to him or her and you just don’t feel engaged (吸引住), it can help to imagine how you would feel in his or her situation. Try asking yourself how you would feel and what you would need if you were him or her. Then, keep those things in mind when you respond to your friend.
Use fewer “I” and “me” statements. Fight the strong wish to talk about yourself in every conversation. It’s an easy habit to get into, but you can’t focus on anyone else if you’re always talking about yourself. Try to actively reduce the number of “I” and “me” statements you make in daily conversation. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. 44
Learn how to compromise (妥协). 45 Compromising means choosing to believe another person’s needs and desires are just as important as your own. Instead of demanding your way during a disagreement comes, try meeting the other person halfway so that each person gets some of their needs met.
A．Let someone else be in charge.
B．Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
C．If this sounds familiar to you, you can break that habit.
D．If there are other solutions, don’t always have to add yours.
E．Self-centered people want everything to go their way all the time.
F．Try reminding yourself to do that when you are not having a good time.
G．Change can be tough, but there are still useful tips you need on this journey.
（22-23高一下·山东德州·期中）You may be old enough to remember Evelyn Wood’s name for speed reading and speed learning. Inspired, her former business partner, Wechsler, shares four of the techniques successful speed readers use. 46
Hold Your Material at a 30-Degree Angle
Hold your book, or whatever you’re reading, at a 30-degree angle to your eyes. 47 Wechsler says reading from flat material is “painful to your retina, causes eye tiredness, and after about two hours often leads to dry eye and irritation”.
Move Your Head Left to Right as You Read
Moving your head slightly back and forth while you read helps stabilize images on your retina. 48 Wechsler says, “The secret of reading multiple words at a time is widening your vision.” This practice alone will help you increase your speed from 200 to 2,500 words per minute.
Read with a Pointer
Wechsler advocates using a pen, or pointer of some kind, even your finger, to underline each sentence as you read. Your vision will allow you to move through a sentence six times faster than reading each word. 49 “When using a pointer, never permit the point to touch the page,” Wechsler says.
Exercise Your Eyes for 60 Seconds Before Reading
50 “It sharpens your vision and activates your sight to speed up your learning speed,” Wechsler says. “This daily one-minute exercise may help you avoid eye-muscle tiredness.” Focus on a single spot on the wall 10 feet in front of you. With your hand extended at eye level, trace a symbol with your eyes.
A．Now you can learn with these four easy tips.
B．Relax the muscles on either side of your arms.
C．Never read material lying flat on a table or desk.
D．Your eyes become smooth and comfortable in 10 minutes.
E．Wechsler suggests you “warm up” your eyes before you start reading.
F．It also helps you stop reading individual words and read phrases instead.
G．The pointer helps you create a pace and focuses your attention on the page.
（2023·高一山东威海·期中）A future where insects make up a large part of the world’s diet is on the horizon. Despite the unpleasant nature of such cuisine, insects have been considered a delicacy in some parts of world for centuries. Their being low-fat and high-protein makes them a perfect choice for reducing hunger. 51
Animal protein from livestock (家畜), such as cows, chicken and pigs, takes up 80 percent of the entire world’s farmland, despite only making up less than one-fifth of calories consumed globally. 52 Thus it would support a variety of biodiversity as nature intended.
Insects such as grasshoppers, meal worms and crickets are packed full of protein with much higher vitamin levels than pork or beef. 53 Greenhouse gas emissions through this process are also very little, with insect waste making excellent fertilizer (肥料) for agricultural soil.
It seems that insects are an ideal solution for many issues the world today is faced with. 54 Urban areas of Asia, Europe and North America are most likely to associate insects with dirt instead of as a tasty meal.
Times are changing. The European Union last year declared that meal worms were safe for human consumption. Cricket protein powder is also increasing greatly in popularity, with Canada rapidly becoming the largest market for the product.
55 As we explore our solar system, efficient means of producing animal based-proteins will become vital. None are more efficient space-wise than insects. And the colonies of the future could well find themselves enjoying fried crickets with a pint of beer while watching the Martian sunset.
A．They also have a host of environmental benefits.
B．Insects reproduce quickly and have high growth rates.
C．Unlike agriculture, insects produce far fewer greenhouse gases.
D．They require little space, water and technology to raise compared to livestock.
E．However, making them a delicious cuisine can be a challenge in several cultures.
F．By freeing up livestock space, huge expanses of land could be returned to nature.
G．A future where insects will become invaluable to space exploration is also upcoming.
（22-23高一下·福建福州·期中）The UK has many strange traditions. 56 This tradition comes Shrove Tuesday, or, as many like to call it, Pancake (薄饼) Day. The day falls on the last Tuesday of February this year.
57 As contestants (参赛者) run, they have to toss the pancake in the air so that it flips and lands back in the pan on the other side. The winner is the first to reach the finish line, although they should also be careful to make sure that the pancake is complete and that it hasn’t broken along the way.
One of the most famous pancake races is the Rehab Parliamentary Pancake Race. This takes place on the morning of Shrove Tuesday in London, outside the Houses of Parliament. 58 One team is made up of Members of Parliament, and the other is made up of journalists. Most of them take part in the race wearing their work suits! The race is shown on the news and is covered on TV all around the world. 59 It raises awareness for the charity Rehab, which works with people with disabilities and others who suffer from social exclusion in the UK.
Another important aspect of the race is the official starter. 60 This is seen as an important role and is usually given to a British news presenter. But whoever is chosen usually has a hard time trying to control the race—the MPs are known for cheating every year!
A．One of those is pancake racing.
B．The race is a competition between two teams.
C．That is the person chosen to announce the start of the race.
D．Rome schools or businesses hold special Pancake Day events.
