一、阅读理解议论文
Passage（1）
【2025 届河南省新乡市高三下学期第一次模拟考试】A beautiful piece of music was playing on the radio. I did
not know what it was, and I started listening carefully, but then I noticed my mind wandering as if to own the music.
It was like it was not enough for me just to enjoy the moment. I needed to memorize, understand, and analyze what
I was hearing to capture that moment. And in doing this, I was no longer enjoying it. What stopped me from
enjoying the music
In asking that question, I remembered the humanistic psychologist Erich Fromm. In his classic book To
Have or To Be he wrote about “having” and “being” as two different mindsets or attitudes towards life. Fromm
described how having was a dominant cultural mindset and ultimately at the root of many of our personal and
social problems.
The having mindset is so deeply ingrained within us that it can take over and push our being out of the way.
The having mindset raises an essential problem for humanity. Fromm writes about how it comes from our
materialistic culture in which having as a mindset is prioritized over a being mindset.
It often seems that most of us treat life as if we were just playing a giant game of Monopoly (大富翁) in real
time. Who can collect the most wealth and property and exploit (剥削) the other players It is a game in which we
learn to value only what brings us monetary gain. We truly need so little in the way of material things to be
contented in life. We need a sense of purpose, meaning, relationships, good health, and the resources to be safe and
secure.
It feels like we have no choice but to live as if we were the pieces on a Monopoly board. But we can be
aware of the choices we make in life and begin to adjust our lives either down the path of having or being. That
way, we can learn to enjoy a piece of music without needing to buy it, go for a walk, and appreciate the wildflowers
without picking them.
1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A．He didn’t like music. B．He liked analyzing music occasionally.
C．He failed to enjoy the music. D．He listened to music casually.
2．What does the underlined word “ingrained” in Paragraph 3 mean
1 / 36
A．Rooted. B．Affected. C．Imagined. D．Discovered.
3．What’s the author’s attitude towards “having” mindset
A．Interested. B．Opposed. C．Positive. D．Unconcerned.
4．What does the author advise us to do
A．Play the game of Monopoly. B．Change our mindsets in life.
C．Aim high and seek your fortune. D．Find life purpose and help others.
【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者由听音乐的经历引出心理学家弗洛姆关于“拥有”和“存在”两种心态的观点，
指出“拥有”心态的问题并建议人们做出改变。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I did not know what it was, and I started listening carefully, but then I noticed my
mind wandering as if to own the music. It was like it was not enough for me just to enjoy the moment. I needed to
memorize, understand, and analyze what I was hearing to capture that moment. And in doing this, I was no longer
enjoying it.(我不知道那是什么音乐，于是开始认真聆听，但随后我注意到自己的思绪开始飘移，好像想要占
有这首音乐。仅仅享受当下对我来说似乎还不够。我需要记住、理解并分析我所听到的内容，以抓住那一刻。
而这样做的时候，我就不再享受音乐了)”可推知，作者因为想要记住、理解和分析音乐，结果无法享受音乐
了。故选 C 项。
2．词句猜测题。划线词所在句“The having mindset is so deeply ingrained within us that it can take over and push
our being out of the way.(“拥有”心态在我们内心如此 ingrained，以至于它可以占据主导地位，把我们的“存在”
心态挤到一边)”中“so...that...”是固定句型，that 引导结果状语从句，由“it can take over and push our being out
of the way”可推知，“拥有”心态对我们影响很深，如同扎根在我们内心一样，所以才导致“存在”心态挤到一
边。故划线词“ingrained”意为“根深蒂固的”，与“Rooted”意思相近。故选 A 项。
3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Fromm described how having was a dominant cultural mindset and ultimately at
the root of many of our personal and social problems.(弗洛姆描述了“拥有”是一种占主导地位的文化心态，并且
最终是我们许多个人和社会问题的根源)”、第三段中“The having mindset raises an essential problem for
humanity.(“拥有”心态给人类带来了一个根本性的问题)”和最后一段中“That way, we can learn to enjoy a piece
of music without needing to buy it, go for a walk, and appreciate the wildflowers without picking them.(这样，我们
就可以学会欣赏一段音乐而不需要购买它，去散步，欣赏野花而不需要采摘)”可知，作者引用弗洛姆的观点，
说明“拥有”心态会给个人和社会带来问题，同时建议人们学会欣赏而不是去拥有。由此推知，作者对“拥有”
心态持反对态度。故选 B 项。
2 / 36
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But we can be aware of the choices we make in life and begin to adjust our lives
either down the path of having or being. That way, we can learn to enjoy a piece of music without needing to
buy it, go for a walk, and appreciate the wildflowers without picking them.(但是我们可以意识到我们在生活中所
做的选择，并开始调整我们的生活，要么走向“拥有”的道路，要么走向“存在”的道路。这样，我们就可以学
会欣赏一段音乐而不需要购买它，去散步，欣赏野花而不需要采摘)”可知，作者建议人们学会欣赏而不是去
拥有，这是建议我们改变生活中的心态。故选 B 项。
Passage（2）
【2025届吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州高三下学期一模】Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his
book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with
text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to
commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.
Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he
was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of
large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines.
Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.
He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book,
Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern
technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done
the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”.
That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes,
smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour.
Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.
When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing
technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the
apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure,
those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I
can make toward living a more meaningful life.
5．Why does the author refer to Thoreau’s book Walden in Paragraph1
A．To tell the characters of Thoreau. B．To attract more consumers.
3 / 36
C．To bring in the concept of simple life. D．To discuss the advantage of smartphones.
6．What might drive Thoreau to live in the woods
A．The purpose to keep fit. B．His plan of writing a book.
C．The pace of his time. D．His worry about technology.
7．What is the author’s attitude to Thoreau’s words “men have become the tools of their tools”
A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Critical.
8．What is the author’s main argument in this text
A．Modern technology improves our lives. B．Simplicity in a way helps live a meaningful life.
C．We should withdraw from modern society. D．Powerful machines are necessary for progress.
【答案】5．C 6．C 7．C 8．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了梭罗的简单生活理念及其对现代生活的启示。
5．推理判断题。由文章第一段“Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even
though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many
consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple
living seems to be a thing of the past. (大多数人可能都听说过亨利·戴维·梭罗和他的著作《瓦尔登湖》，尽管
他提倡简朴生活的理念听起来可能已经过时。如今，智能手机向我们狂轰滥炸般发送短信。许多消费者都
在购买最新的数字设备，从平板电脑、健身追踪器到商用无人机应有尽有。简朴生活似乎已经成了过去式。
)”可知，作者提到梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》是为了引出简单生活的概念。故选 C。
6．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city
life to live alone in the woods. (梭罗厌倦了那个时代的持续忙碌，于是从城市生活中抽身，独自住在树林里。
)”可知，他的时间节奏促使梭罗住在树林里。故选 C。
7．推理判断题。由文章第四段“That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is
controlling us. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check
their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our
concentration and heighten confusion. (也就是说，我们不是控制技术的人。技术在控制我们。每隔几分钟，智
能手机就可能用消息分散我们的注意力。至少有一半的美国人每小时会查看几次手机。与此同时，社交媒
体上的信息过载会削弱我们的专注力，加剧困惑。)”可知，作者认同梭罗的观点，即人们已成为自己创造的
工具的奴隶，技术正在控制我们。故选 C。
8．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from
4 / 36
tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. (许多消费者都在
购买最新的数字设备，从平板电脑、健身追踪器到商用无人机应有尽有。简朴生活似乎已经成了过去式。)”
和最后一段“When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by
reducing technology overuse. (当技术造成如此多的干扰和困惑时，通过减少过度使用技术来简化生活可能是
有益的。)”可知，作者的主要论点是简化生活在一定程度上有助于过上更有意义的生活。故选 B。
Passage（3）
【2025 届贵州省六盘水市高三下学期一模】In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence
is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an
overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill
personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.
First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must
adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退)to technological disruptions. For example,
someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic
challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control
of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces.
Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit
one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their
goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or
business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and
problem-solving abilities.
Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is
often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt
popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values,
and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society.
Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However,
independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often
bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than
dependency.
Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and
5 / 36
interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between
cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world.
9．Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2
A．People depending on themselves.
B．People making innovative decisions.
C．People influenced by external forces.
D．People relying on unexpected settings.
10．Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity
A．It makes people form common beliefs.
B．It allows people to maintain self-hood.
C．It enables people to lead cultural trends.
D．It helps people develop their intelligence.
11．Which can best describe an independent person in relationships
A．Confident and helpful. B．Isolated and indifferent.
C．Cooperative and proud. D．Critical and autonomous.
12．How is the passage mainly developed
A．By inferring and comparing. B．By showing cause and effect.
C．By giving opinions and examples. D．By stating problems and solutions.
【答案】9．A 10．B 11．A 12．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是在当今互联互通的世界中，保持个人独立性的重要性及其对个
人成长的积极影响。
9．细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and
self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for
support. (例如，一个已经发展出金融知识和自给自足的人比一个完全依赖他人支持的人更能有能力应对经济
挑战。)”可知，依靠自己的人可以更好地应对经济挑战。故选 A。
10．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world
where conformity (遵从) is often encouraged.(在一个经常鼓励从众的世界里，保持独立可以保护个性和个人身
份。)”和“Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values, and priorities, making them more
empowered to contribute uniquely to society. (独立使人们能够形成自己的信仰、价值观和优先事项，使他们更
6 / 36
有能力为社会做出独特的贡献。)”可知，文章提到，在一个鼓励从众的世界中，独立性允许人们形成自己的
信念、价值观和优先事项，从而保持个性和自我身份。因此，是独立性让人们能够保持自我。故选 B。
11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“However, independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful
relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often bring more value to relationships because they contribute
from a place of strength and confidence rather than dependency.( 然而，独立并不妨碍合作或有意义的关系。事
实上，真正独立的人通常会给人际关系带来更多价值，因为他们的贡献来自于力量和信心，而不是依赖。)”
可知，文章提到，真正独立的人在关系中更有价值，因为他们是从一种强大和自信的状态中做出贡献，而
不是出于依赖。因此，独立的人在关系中是自信且有帮助的。故选 A。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段的“While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life,
an overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill
personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.(虽然与他人合作和依赖他人是现代生活
的重要方面，但过度依赖外部系统、技术或个人会逐渐破坏自主性，扼杀个人成长，并损害一个人应对挑
战的能力。)”；第二段的“For example, someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is
better equipped to handle economic challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support.
Independence enables individuals to take control of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly
influenced by external forces.(例如，拥有金融知识和自给自足能力的人比完全依赖他人支持的人更有能力应
对经济挑战。独立使个人能够控制自己的生活，做出明智的决定，而不受外部力量的过度影响。)”，第三段
的“For example, starting a personal project or business without external backing challenges people to innovate and
think critically, developing creativity and problem-solving abilities.(例如，在没有外部支持的情况下开始一个个
人项目或企业，挑战人们的创新和批判性思维，培养创造力和解决问题的能力。)”以及纵观全文可知，文章
通过提出观点（独立性的重要性）并结合具体例子（如经济挑战、个人项目、文化趋势等）来展开论述。
因此，文章主要是通过给出观点和例子来发展的。故选 C。
Passage（4）
【2025 届重庆市康德高三上学期第一次联合诊断检测考试】If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness,
would you take it The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the
world in recent years, affecting young and old. There have even been numerous urgent calls by governments to
address it. However, some researchers question whether we really have the credible data to back up such claims.
Should we struggle to eradicate it, as we would a virus or a disease
Psychologist James Hillman had concerns about viewing loneliness as a pathology (病理学). He noted that
7 / 36
solutions like socializing in recovery groups suggest we should get rid of loneliness. But Hillman argued that if
loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to
avoid it.
I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its
many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of
human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the
Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous
projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition.
Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part
of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create
shame and force people to hide their loneliness.
This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our
loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being
alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its
existence or trying to root it out.
13．What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean
A．Remove. B．Change. C．Highlight. D．Identify.
14．What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness
A．Observing physical responses in trials. B．Collecting a variety or typical cases
C．Reviewing published research papers. D．Taking a questionnaire survey analysis.
15．What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”
A．To inform how loneliness varies with age. B．To emphasize the importance of storytelling.
C．To show complexities of human loneliness. D．To express his sympathy for the suffering.
16．What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness
A．Overcome it by staying busy. B．Engage with social activities.
C．Coexist peacefully with it. D．Turn to experts for guidance.
【答案】13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了孤独的本质以及我们对待它的态度。
13．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness, would you take it (如果你
8 / 36
能吃一颗药丸来“治愈”你的孤独，你会吃吗？)”和下文“...as we would a virus or a disease (就像我们对付病毒
或疾病一样)”可知，作者把治疗孤独和治疗病毒或者疾病相类比，询问我们是否应该像对付病毒或疾病那样，
吃一颗药丸来治愈或消除它，划线词 eradicate 意为“消除”，与 Remove 同义。故选 A。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段“I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of
interviews and observing its many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single
feeling but a label for a range of human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be
inevitable at times. In my book All the Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of
loneliness, drawn from numerous projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this
condition. (我职业生涯的大部分时间都在研究孤独，进行了数百次采访，观察了各个年龄段的不同版本。我
的研究结果表明，孤独不是一种单一的感觉，而是一系列人类经历和未满足的需求的标签，这些需求与断
开联系有关，有时可能是不可避免的。在我的书《所有孤独的人：关于孤独的对话》中，我展示了各种各
样的孤独的例子，这些例子来自于许多项目和采访，每一个都提供了对这种情况的不同方面的一瞥)”可知，
作者通过访谈和观察，并且整合了多个项目和访谈中的案例，为研究提供了丰富的细节和真实情境。故选 B。
15．推理判断题。根据第四段“Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also
show that loneliness is part of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than
pathologizing it, which can create shame and force people to hide their loneliness. (故事帮助我们确定孤独是什么
样子的，以及它是如何生活的。它们还表明，孤独是大多数人生命旅程的一部分。接受这一现实可能比病
态化更明智，因为病态化会让人感到羞耻，迫使人们隐藏自己的孤独)”可知，故事帮助人们理解并接受孤独
是一种自然的人生经历，而不是让孤独成为一种羞耻或病理化的问题。所以作者通过故事展现孤独在人们
生活中的不同表现形式，帮助读者认识到孤独的复杂性。故选 C。
16．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it,
rather than denying its existence or trying to root it out. (最终，孤独的答案可能在于学会与它共存，而不是否认
它的存在或试图根除它)”可知，作者建议与其试图完全消除孤独，不如学会与孤独和平共处。故选 C。
Passage（5）
【贵州省余庆中学 2024-2025 学年高三下学期开学考试】The telephone has been used for over 100 years,
allowing us to chat with our friends happily while we’re doing dishes. But there are many young people for whom
the idea of answering a phone call is like being trapped underwater. If the only way to survive that imaginary
situation were to answer the ringing phone, they might give up.
Many never answer such a call for fear of the unknown. Some understandably don’t answer the phone
9 / 36
because some calls are unnecessarily time-consuming and the information can better be communicated through text
or email, and sometimes people who enjoy talking on the phone tend to use it as a platform for awkwardly
drawn-out and too personal conversations.
This fear goes beyond all that, and many are afraid even if the incoming phone call is totally innocent. A
recent survey has found that most young people show anxiety before making a phone call. What is going on here
When talking on the phone, a person typically has to respond live and may not be mentally prepared enough
to put a carefully-worded response together, a prospect which is even more difficult when talking to someone you
don’t know. In young people’s world filled with their preferred emails and instant messages, a phone call feels like
an arrow shooting through the boundary and buffer (缓冲) such forms of communication normally afford them.
Many think phone calls should be made for urgent and serious issues, but I’d argue that line of thinking is
complicated in nature. Those kinds of emergency calls are rare, and when you think that’s what phone calls should
be made for, you tend to see them all that way. But the phone call, properly made and timed, is meant to negotiate
that line when other options are unavailable, and provides a different kind of closeness and familiarity.
So if the phone starts ringing in front of you, try picking it up, which will give you strength to deal with
other scary unknowns. Besides, you can always respond with one pleasure; hanging up.
17．What is the imaginary situation in paragraph 1 intended to show
A．Pleasure from interacting with others on the phone.
B．Young people’s unwillingness to answer the phone.
C．The terrible consequence of answering a phone call.
D．The reason why young people advocate phone calls.
18．Why do young people prefer the use of emails according to the text
A．It doesn’t require live responses. B．It can boost their critical thinking.
C．It better reveals their true emotions. D．It is able to break many boundaries.
19．Which of the following shows the author’s opinion on phone calls
A．They are likely to be prior to other options.
B．They had better be avoided among strangers.
C．They should always be a signal of serious issues.
D．They are not necessarily reserved for emergencies.
20．Which of the following is the best title for the text
10 / 36
A．Should Young People Give Up Their Phones
B．Are Young People Ready to Make a Phone Call
C．Why Are Young People Frightened of Phone Calls
D．How Can Young People Overcome Phone Anxiety
【答案】17．B 18．A 19．D 20．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕年轻人对电话通话的恐惧和焦虑展开讨论，分析了这种恐惧的
根源、表现形式，并提出了作者的观点和建议。
17．推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“But there are many young people for whom the idea of answering a phone
call is like being trapped underwater. If the only way to survive that imaginary situation were to answer the ringing
phone, they might give up.(但对于许多年轻人来说，接听电话的念头就如同被困在水下。如果在这个想象的
情境中，唯一的求生办法就是接听响着的电话，他们可能会选择放弃)”可知，本段将年轻人接听电话比作被
困水下，且宁愿放弃生存也不愿接听电话，生动地展现了年轻人极不情愿接听电话的态度。故选 B。
18．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When talking on the phone, a person typically has to respond live and may not
be mentally prepared enough to put a carefully-worded response together, a prospect which is even more difficult
when talking to someone you don’t know. In young people’s world filled with their preferred emails and instant
messages, a phone call feels like an arrow shooting through the boundary and buffer (缓冲) such forms of
communication normally afford them.(在打电话时，一个人通常必须即时回应，可能没有足够的心理准备组织
出措辞严谨的回答，尤其是与不认识的人交谈时，这种情况会更难应对。在年轻人的世界里，他们更喜欢
电子邮件和即时消息，电话铃声就像一支箭，冲破了这些沟通方式通常为他们提供的界限和缓冲)”可知，打
电话需要即时回应，而年轻人更喜欢电子邮件和即时消息，原因是电子邮件等不像电话那样需要即时回应，
他们有时间组织语言。故选 A。
19．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Many think phone calls should be made for urgent and serious issues, but I’d
argue that line of thinking is complicated in nature. Those kinds of emergency calls are rare, and when you think
that’s what phone calls should be made for, you tend to see them all that way. But the phone call, properly made
and timed, is meant to negotiate that line when other options are unavailable, and provides a different kind of
closeness and familiarity.(许多人认为电话应该用于紧急和严肃的事情，但我认为这种思维方式本质上很复杂。
那种紧急电话很少见，当你认为电话就应该用于此类事情时，你往往会一直这么看待它们。但是，在其他
方式不可行时，恰当拨打且时机合适的电话，旨在把握好分寸，并能带来一种不同的亲密感和熟悉感)”可知，
作者认为电话不一定只能用于紧急情况，在其他合适的时候也可以打。故选 D。
11 / 36
20．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But there are many young people for whom the idea of answering a phone call
is like being trapped underwater. If the only way to survive that imaginary situation were to answer the ringing
phone, they might give up.(但对于许多年轻人来说，接听电话的念头就如同被困在水下。如果在这个想象的
情境中，唯一的求生办法就是接听响着的电话，他们可能会选择放弃)”以及文章内容可知，文章开篇指出年
轻人害怕接打电话这一现象，接着分析了原因，如对未知的恐惧、电话沟通的即时性等。选项 C“Why Are
Young People Frightened of Phone Calls ”能很好地概括文章主要内容。故选 C。
Passage（6）
【2025 届江西省景德镇市高三上学期二模】Since the industrial revolution, there have been concerns that new
machines would replace human jobs. Today, this fear is becoming a reality as robots and artificial intelligence (AI)
are advancing into various job sectors.
According to a March 2023 Gold man sacks report, AI could do a quarter of all the work currently done by
humans. In the EU and US alone, 300 million jobs might be at risk due to automation. Author Martin Ford warns
that this shift could be systematic, affecting many people in the meantime with potential widespread economic
applications.
However, not all hope is lost. There remain areas where human qualities, such as emotional intelligence and
creative thinking, are indispensable. Jobs in three categories are likely to be more secure against AI:
1. Truly creative role, especially those in science, medicine, law, and business strategy. While some creative
fields like graphic design may be vulnerable to ad, others that involve coming up with novel ideas will still need
humans.
2. Positions requiring complicated interpersonal skills, including nursing, consulting, and investigative
journalism. These jobs demand a deep understanding of human relationships, which AI cannot easily copy.
3. occupations needing mobility, proficiency, and problem-solving skill in unpredictable environments, such
as trade jobs. Electricians, plumbers, and welders (焊工) face situations that constantly change, making these roles
challenging for automation.
Ford emphasized that neither advanced education nor high-income positions guarantee safety from ad.
White-collar workers, who often write reports or analyze data, may find their jobs more threatened by AI than less
educated workers in physically demanding roles, like cleaning hotel rooms, which are harder to automate.
In conclusion, seeking employment in dynamic environments that involve unpredictable tasks can help
safeguard against job loss to AI, at least for now. For students preparing for their future careers, it’s wise to
12 / 36
consider fields that emphasize creativity, human interaction, and adaptability in complex settings.
21．What can we learn from the report in paragraphs
A．A significant number of jobs may be affected by AI.
B．Automation will create more jobs than it re moves.
C．The effect of ad on employment will be mild.
D．only low-skill jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence.
22．Which of the following jobs is considered more secure against AI replacement
A．Graphic design. B．Data analysis.
C．Report writing. D．Investigative journalism.
23．What does Martin Ford stress about the impact of ad on employment
A．It will not affect the high-paying jobs.
B．It could primarily replace uneducated workers.
C．It could pose a less threat to the physically demanding jobs.
D．It will probably not influence white-collar jobs.
24．What suggestion does the passage provide for the students regarding the future career
A．To focus on careers that require routine and predictable tasks.
B．To seek employment only within dynamic and rapidly changing industries.
C．To consider occupations that highlight innovation, communication and adaptability.
D．To avoid any jobs that could potentially be affected by automation.
【答案】21．A 22．D 23．C 24．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了工业革命以来，人们对于新机器会取代人类工作的担忧，并
分析了在人工智能不断进步的背景下，哪些工作领域可能受到影响，以及哪些领域的工作相对安全。
21．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to a March 2023 Gold man sacks report, AI could do a quarter of
all the work currently done by humans. In the EU and US alone, 300 million jobs might be at risk due to
automation. (根据 2023 年 3 月高盛的一份报告，人工智能能够承担目前人类所做工作的四分之一。仅在欧盟
和美国，就可能有 3 亿个工作岗位因自动化而面临风险。)”可知，人工智能能承担人类目前四分之一的工
作，仅在欧盟和美国就有 3 亿个工作岗位因自动化面临风险，这表明大量工作可能会受到人工智能的影响。
故选 A。
22．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Positions requiring complicated interpersonal skills, including nursing,
13 / 36
consulting, and investigative journalism. These jobs demand a deep understanding of human relationships, which
AI cannot easily copy. (需要复杂人际交往技能的职位，包括护理、咨询和调查性新闻工作。这些工作需要对
人际关系有深刻理解，这是人工智能难以轻易复制的。)”可知，调查性新闻工作需要复杂的人际交往技能，
对人际关系有深刻理解，这是 AI 难以复制的，所以调查性新闻工作更能抵御 AI 替代。故选 D。
23．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“White-collar workers, who often write reports or analyze data, may find
their jobs more threatened by AI than less educated workers in physically demanding roles, like cleaning hotel
rooms, which are harder to automate. (经常撰写报告或分析数据的白领，可能会发现他们的工作比从事体力要
求较高的低学历工作者（如清洁酒店房间，这类工作更难实现自动化）更容易受到人工智能的威胁。)”可知，
体力要求高的工作相比白领工作更不容易受到 AI 威胁。故选 C。
24．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For students preparing for their future careers, it’s wise to consider fields that
emphasize creativity, human interaction, and adaptability in complex settings. (对于正在为未来职业做准备的学
生来说，明智的做法是考虑那些强调创造力、人际交往以及在复杂环境中适应能力的领域。)”可知，学生应
考虑强调创造力、人际交往以及在复杂环境中适应能力的职业。故选 C。
Passage（7）
【2025 届黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学等校高三 1 月份适应性测试】Americans spend more on lottery (彩票)
tickets than movies, video games, and concerts combined. Leading the way are the lowest-income households,
which spend an estimated $412 each year, four times the amount spent by the highest-income households. As
financial writer Morgan Housel describes in his 2022 book, The Psychology of Money, “without $400 for an
emergency, low-income lottery players are blowing their safety nets on something with a one-in-millions chance of
making a fortune. While a player may occasionally get lucky, the more they play over lotteries, the likelier it is that
their monetary losses will reach the intended average.”
So why do those living under the worst conditions spend so much more on them The financial knowledge
might explain that this behavior is born purely of ignorance, but Housel and scientific researchers point to
alternative psychological explanations. They highlighted the inequalities present in the U. S. and noted that
low-income players may consider lotteries to be a “social equalizer” which creates hope for material improvement
and a higher social status that cannot be achieved through conventional channels.
Is it really so ridiculous that a person laboring for 50 hours a week making $20 an hour would spend $10 a
week on lottery tickets to, at least for a moment, entertain the dream of becoming rich A millionaire choosing to
spend a tenth of their savings on a speedboat is arguably making a worse financial decision. The same could be said
14 / 36
of an office worker making $100,000 a year spending S200 each week to dine out wastefully.
As Housel points out in his book, the numerous ways we can spend our money, and even the modern
monetary system itself, have only been around for no more than decades. Our slow-to-adapt thinking systems are
not well-prepared for making solid financial decisions in a rapidly changing world.
“We all do crazy things with money because we' re all relatively new to this game and what looks crazy to
you might make sense to me,” Housel wrote. “But no one is crazy. We all make decisions based on our own unique
experiences that seem to make sense to us in a given moment.”
25．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A．Those who earn more spend more on lottery tickets.
B．Americans like playing the lottery tickets best.
C．Low-income households can’t afford to spend money on lottery tickets.
D．Those who place expectations on lottery tickets may lose hope at last.
26．According to Housel, what accounts for the popularity of lottery tickets among low-income players
A．They want to fight against inequality.
B．They lack a sense of financial management.
C．They can have anticipation for better life.
D．They need entertainment to meet psychological demands.
27．Why are a millionaire and an office worker mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To justify the consumption of lottery tickets.
B．To make a contrast between different spending patterns.
C．To emphasize the misuse of money in distinct areas.
D．To showcase their financial decisions on distributing money.
28．What’s Housel’s attitude towards the low-income lottery players
A．Dismissive. B．Admiring. C．Critical. D．Tolerant.
【答案】25．D 26．C 27．A 28．D
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了美国低收入家庭在彩票消费上的高额支出，并分析了背后的
心理原因及社会背景。
25．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Leading the way are the lowest-income households, which spend an estimated $
412 each year, four times the amount spent by the highest-income households. As financial writer Morgan Housel
15 / 36
describes in his 2022 book, The Psychology of Money, “without $400 for an emergency, low-income lottery
players are blowing their safety nets on something with a one-in-millions chance of making a fortune. While a
player may occasionally get lucky, the more they play over lotteries, the likelier it is that their monetary losses will
reach the intended average.” (收入最低的家庭在这方面首当其冲，他们每年在彩票上的花费估计高达 412 美元，
是收入最高家庭的四倍。正如财经作家 Morgan Housel 在其 2022 年的著作《金钱心理学》中所描述的那样：
“低收入彩票玩家没有 400 美元的应急资金，却把这张安全网浪费在了中大奖几率只有百万分之一的事情上。
虽然玩家偶尔也会走运，但玩彩票的次数越多，他们的金钱损失就越可能达到预期的平均水平。”)”可知，
低收入家庭在彩票上的支出很高，且这种支出很可能导致他们的经济损失。由此可推断，对彩票寄予期望
的人最终可能会失去希望，因为损失可能很大。故选 D。
26．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They highlighted the inequalities present in the U.S. and noted that low-income
players may consider lotteries to be a ‘social equalizer’ which creates hope for material improvement and a higher
social status that cannot be achieved through conventional channels. (他们强调了美国存在的不平等现象，并指出
低收入玩家可能会认为彩票是一种“社会均衡器”，能为物质条件的改善和更高社会地位带来希望，而这些是
通过传统渠道无法实现的。)”可知，低收入玩家购买彩票是出于对更好生活的期待。故选 C。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Is it really so ridiculous that a person laboring for 50 hours a week making 10 a
week on lottery tickets to, at least for a moment, entertain the dream of becoming rich A millionaire choosing to
spend a tenth of their savings on a speedboat is arguably making a worse financial decision. The same could be said
of an office worker making 200 each week to dine out wastefully”(一个人每周工作 50 个小时，每小时赚 20 美元，
却每周花 10 美元买彩票，至少在一瞬间，沉浸在成为富人的梦想中，这真的很荒谬吗？一个百万富翁选择
花十分之一的积蓄买一艘快艇，这可以说是一个更糟糕的财务决定。同样，一个年收入 10 万美元的上班族
每周浪费 200 美元外出就餐，也是如此。)”可知，本段通过对比低收入工人买彩票、百万富翁买快艇和上班
族浪费性外出就餐这三种消费行为，来为低收入工人购买彩票的行为辩护，说明这种行为并非完全不可理
解或荒谬。故选 A。
28．推理判断题。根据最后一段““We all do crazy things with money because we're all relatively new to this game
and what looks crazy to you might make sense to me,” Housel wrote. “But no one is crazy. We all make decisions
based on our own unique experiences that seem to make sense to us in a given moment.” (“我们在金钱方面都会
做些疯狂的事，因为我们都是这场游戏的新手，在你看来疯狂的事情对我来说可能是有道理的，”Housel 写
道。“但没有人是疯狂的。我们所有人都是基于自己在某一时刻看似合理的独特经历来做出决定的。”)”可知，
Housel 认为低收入玩家购买彩票的行为是基于他们自己的独特经历做出的决定，没有人是疯狂的，这表明
16 / 36
他对低收入彩票玩家持宽容态度。故选 D。
Passage（8）
【2025 届广东省高三 1 月第一次模拟考试】Melancholy and suicidal ideations have experienced a twofold
increase among the youthful populace of America, as per a recent investigation promulgated by the American
Psychological Association.
What are the probable catalysts for this alarming trend The ubiquitous presence of cell phones and the
pervasive influence of social media are identified as likely culprits.
“An augmented number of US adolescents and young adults in the latter part of the 2010s, in
contradistinction to those in the mid-2000s, have grappled with significant psychological turmoil, severe depressive
episodes, and a heightened incidence of suicide attempts,” opines Jean Twenge, the principal investigator and a
professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “These escalating patterns are either feeble or entirely
absent among individuals aged 26 and above, thereby intimating a generational metamorphosis in the prevalence of
mood disorders rather than a uniform augmentation across the entire spectrum of ages.”
Twenge postulates that this disconcerting trend is partially attributable to the meteoric rise of digital culture
over the preceding decade, which may have distorted the modalities of social engagement to such an extent that it
has had a palpable impact on the incidence of mood disorders.
The study meticulously scrutinized data derived from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which
meticulously monitored drug and alcohol consumption alongside mental health concerns in an extensive cohort of
over 200,000 youths, aged between 12 and 17, from the year 2005 to 2017, and nearly 400,000 adults from 2008 to
2017.
The prevalence of major depression within the preceding 12-month period escalated by a staggering 52
percent among children from 2005 to 2017 and by 63 percent among young adults in the age bracket of 18 to 25
from 2009 to 2017. Additionally, there was a precipitous 71 percent rise in young adults experiencing grave
psychological distress within the antecedent 30-day span from 2008 to 2017.
So, what distinguishes the present epoch from those that preceded it According to Twenge, empirical
research indicates that the younger generation is not availing themselves of as much somnolent repose as their
forebears did.
While older Americans may have achieved a greater degree of stability in their lives, the digital era has
likely precipitated a peak in sleep-disrupting social stressors for teenagers and young adults, she posits. Moreover,
17 / 36
older adults are comparatively less prone to permit electronic devices to interfere with their nocturnal slumber.
These findings underscore the exigency for further research to comprehend the differential impact of digital
communication vis-à-vis face-to-face social interaction on mood disorders and to devise targeted interventions
tailored to the unique needs of younger demographic cohorts.
As for her sage advice She advocates for the cessation of phone usage at least one hour prior to the onset of
bedtime.
29．What might Professor Twenge agree with？
A．Mood disorders show no difference across all ages.
B．Teens are less likely to let devices interfere with sleep.
C．Digital cultural explosion might cause depression in teens.
D．The past decade has seen a sharp decrease in teens mental disorders.
30．How is Paragraph 6 developed？
A．By stating facts. B．By giving examples.
C．By providing statistics. D．By presenting theories.
31．What do the underlined words “social stressors” in Para 8 mean？
A．Interaction modes. B．Mental health issues.
C．Drug and alcohol use. D．Cell phones and social media.
32．From which is the text probably taken？
A．A biology textbook. B．A medical case.
C．A travel guidebook. D．A science magazine.
【答案】29．C 30．C 31．D 32．D
【导语】本文是议论文。文章讨论了美国青少年和年轻人中抑郁和自杀念头的增加，以及可能的原因，包
括手机和社交媒体的影响。
29．细节理解题。根据第四段的“Twenge postulates that this disconcerting trend is partially attributable to the
meteoric rise of digital culture over the preceding decade, which may have distorted the modalities of social
engagement to such an extent that it has had a palpable impact on the incidence of mood disorders.(特温格认为，这
种令人不安的趋势部分归因于过去十年数字文化的迅速崛起，这可能已经扭曲了社会参与的方式，以至于
对情绪障碍的发病率产生了明显的影响。)”可知，Professor Twenge 认为数字文化爆炸可能导致青少年的抑
郁。故选 C。
18 / 36
30．推理判断题。根据第六段内容“The prevalence of major depression within the preceding 12-month period
escalated by a staggering 52 percent among children from 2005 to 2017 and by 63 percent among young adults in
the age bracket of 18 to 25 from 2009 to 2017. Additionally, there was a precipitous 71 percent rise in young adults
experiencing grave psychological distress within the antecedent 30-day span from 2008 to 2017.(从 2005 年到 2017
年，儿童中重度抑郁症的患病率上升了 52%，从 2009 年到 2017 年，18 至 25 岁的年轻人中重度抑郁症的患
病率上升了 63%。此外，在 2008 年至 2017 年的 30 天内，经历严重心理困扰的年轻人急剧增加了 71%。)”
可以看出，这一段通过提供统计数据来发展内容。故选 C。
31．词句猜测题。根据“...the digital era has likely precipitated a peak in sleep-disrupting social stressors for
teenagers and young adults...(……对于青少年和年轻人来说，数字时代可能已经促成了扰乱睡眠的社会压力的
高峰。……)”和下文“Moreover, older adults are comparatively less prone to permit electronic devices to interfere
with their nocturnal slumber.(此外，老年人相对来说不太容易让电子设备干扰他们的夜间睡眠。)”可推断，
social stressors 在这里指的是手机和社交媒体。故选 D。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Melancholy and suicidal ideations have experienced a twofold increase among
the youthful populace of America, as per a recent investigation promulgated by the American Psychological
Association.( 根据美国心理协会最近公布的一项调查，忧郁和自杀的念头在美国年轻人中增加了两倍。)”以
及全文内容可在，整篇文章都在讨论美国青少年心理健康问题及其可能的原因，这是一个科学话题。因此，
这篇文章最有可能来自科学杂志。因此，故选 D。

Last week witnessed huge success of our school's English Week themed “Embrace English, Show
Ourselves”.
Among the many events, the one that has left a lasting impression on me is the “English Drama Night”.
Students from different classes grouped together to perform English plays, ranging from classic Shakespearean
tragedies to contemporary pieces. I was not only impressed by my fellow students’ excellent command of the
English language, but also deeply moved by their vivid portrayal of the characters.
The week serves as a reminder that learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary. It
is also about self-expression. Now, I'm more motivated than ever to continue improving my English to bring out the
best in myself.

【答案】Dear Mike.
How is everything going I am writing to tell you something about the class meeting concerning mental
health we had last week.
To raise our awareness of mental health, a class meeting was held in our classroom at 4:00 pm last Tuesday.
First, an expert in this field gave us a lecture on the knowledge of mental health. After that, we were asked to share
31 / 36
our sources of stress and ways to relieve it, from which all of us learned a lot.
I think it is both interesting and instructive to h大题预测 04 阅读理解议论文+应用文写作
一、阅读理解议论文
Passage（1）
【2025 届河南省新乡市高三下学期第一次模拟考试】A beautiful piece of music was playing on the radio. I did
not know what it was, and I started listening carefully, but then I noticed my mind wandering as if to own the music.
It was like it was not enough for me just to enjoy the moment. I needed to memorize, understand, and analyze what
I was hearing to capture that moment. And in doing this, I was no longer enjoying it. What stopped me from
enjoying the music
In asking that question, I remembered the humanistic psychologist Erich Fromm. In his classic book To
Have or To Be he wrote about “having” and “being” as two different mindsets or attitudes towards life. Fromm
described how having was a dominant cultural mindset and ultimately at the root of many of our personal and
social problems.
The having mindset is so deeply ingrained within us that it can take over and push our being out of the way.
The having mindset raises an essential problem for humanity. Fromm writes about how it comes from our
materialistic culture in which having as a mindset is prioritized over a being mindset.
It often seems that most of us treat life as if we were just playing a giant game of Monopoly (大富翁) in real
time. Who can collect the most wealth and property and exploit (剥削) the other players It is a game in which we
learn to value only what brings us monetary gain. We truly need so little in the way of material things to be
contented in life. We need a sense of purpose, meaning, relationships, good health, and the resources to be safe and
secure.
It feels like we have no choice but to live as if we were the pieces on a Monopoly board. But we can be
aware of the choices we make in life and begin to adjust our lives either down the path of having or being. That
way, we can learn to enjoy a piece of music without needing to buy it, go for a walk, and appreciate the wildflowers
without picking them.
1．What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A．He didn’t like music. B．He liked analyzing music occasionally.
C．He failed to enjoy the music. D．He listened to music casually.
2．What does the underlined word “ingrained” in Paragraph 3 mean
1 / 18
A．Rooted. B．Affected. C．Imagined. D．Discovered.
3．What’s the author’s attitude towards “having” mindset
A．Interested. B．Opposed. C．Positive. D．Unconcerned.
4．What does the author advise us to do
A．Play the game of Monopoly. B．Change our mindsets in life.
C．Aim high and seek your fortune. D．Find life purpose and help others.
Passage（2）
【2025届吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州高三下学期一模】Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his
book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with
text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to
commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.
Thoreau would beg to differ. As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he
was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of
large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines.
Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.
He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In the book,
Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living meaningful lives due to modern
technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done
the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”.
That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Every few minutes,
smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour.
Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion.
When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing
technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the
apps on it to a minimum. Most time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure,
those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I
can make toward living a more meaningful life.
5．Why does the author refer to Thoreau’s book Walden in Paragraph1
A．To tell the characters of Thoreau. B．To attract more consumers.
2 / 18
C．To bring in the concept of simple life. D．To discuss the advantage of smartphones.
6．What might drive Thoreau to live in the woods
A．The purpose to keep fit. B．His plan of writing a book.
C．The pace of his time. D．His worry about technology.
7．What is the author’s attitude to Thoreau’s words “men have become the tools of their tools”
A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Critical.
8．What is the author’s main argument in this text
A．Modern technology improves our lives. B．Simplicity in a way helps live a meaningful life.
C．We should withdraw from modern society. D．Powerful machines are necessary for progress.
Passage（3）
【2025 届贵州省六盘水市高三下学期一模】In today’s interconnected world, maintaining personal independence
is more important than ever. While cooperating with and relying on others are essential aspects of modern life, an
overdependence on external (外部的) systems, technology, or individuals can gradually destroy autonomy, kill
personal growth, and compromise one’s ability to deal with challenges.
First, independence develops self-reliance and adaptability. In a rapidly changing world, individuals must
adapt to unexpected circumstances, from economic downturns (衰退)to technological disruptions. For example,
someone who has developed financial knowledge and self-sufficiency is better equipped to handle economic
challenges than someone who relies entirely on others for support. Independence enables individuals to take control
of their lives and make informed decisions without being overly influenced by external forces.
Second, independence promotes personal growth and self-fulfillment. Relying too much on others can limit
one’s opportunities to explore, take risks, and learn from mistakes. When individuals independently pursue their
goals and passions, they gain confidence, skills, and a sense of purpose. For example, starting a personal project or
business without external backing challenges people to innovate and think critically, developing creativity and
problem-solving abilities.
Maintaining independence protects individuality and personal identity in a world where conformity (遵从) is
often encouraged. Social media and cultural trends can pressure individuals to agree with popular opinions or adopt
popular lifestyles, potentially hiding their true selves. Independence allows people to form their own beliefs, values,
and priorities, making them more empowered to contribute uniquely to society.
Critics might argue that independence risks isolation or the loss of community values. However,
3 / 18
independence does not prevent cooperation or meaningful relationships. In fact, truly independent individuals often
bring more value to relationships because they contribute from a place of strength and confidence rather than
dependency.
Maintaining independence in today’s society is vital for personal growth. While mutual support and
interdependence are valuable, they should not come at the cost of autonomy. Keeping a balance between
cooperation and independence ensures individuals can thrive in an ever-evolving world.
9．Who may handle economic challenges better according to Paragraph 2
A．People depending on themselves.
B．People making innovative decisions.
C．People influenced by external forces.
D．People relying on unexpected settings.
10．Why does independence matter in a world encouraging conformity
A．It makes people form common beliefs.
B．It allows people to maintain self-hood.
C．It enables people to lead cultural trends.
D．It helps people develop their intelligence.
11．Which can best describe an independent person in relationships
A．Confident and helpful. B．Isolated and indifferent.
C．Cooperative and proud. D．Critical and autonomous.
12．How is the passage mainly developed
A．By inferring and comparing. B．By showing cause and effect.
C．By giving opinions and examples. D．By stating problems and solutions.
Passage（4）
【2025 届重庆市康德高三上学期第一次联合诊断检测考试】If you could take a pill to “cure” your loneliness,
would you take it The “loneliness epidemic (流行病)” has been widely reported and commented upon across the
world in recent years, affecting young and old. There have even been numerous urgent calls by governments to
address it. However, some researchers question whether we really have the credible data to back up such claims.
Should we struggle to eradicate it, as we would a virus or a disease
Psychologist James Hillman had concerns about viewing loneliness as a pathology (病理学). He noted that
4 / 18
solutions like socializing in recovery groups suggest we should get rid of loneliness. But Hillman argued that if
loneliness is a natural part of us, it will naturally come and go throughout our lives, regardless of our efforts to
avoid it.
I have spent much of my career researching loneliness, conducting hundreds of interviews and observing its
many versions across all ages. My findings suggest that loneliness is not a single feeling but a label for a range of
human experiences and unmet needs related to disconnection, which may be inevitable at times. In my book All the
Lonely People: Conversations on Loneliness, I present various examples of loneliness, drawn from numerous
projects and interviews, each offering a glimpse into different aspects of this condition.
Stories help us identify what loneliness looks like and how it is lived. They also show that loneliness is part
of most people’ s life journeys. Accepting this reality may be more sensible than pathologizing it, which can create
shame and force people to hide their loneliness.
This is not to ignore loneliness, which is challenging and difficult. But stories allow us to share our
loneliness,unburden ourselves, and connect with others. The suffering in loneliness often originates from being
alone with it. Ultimately, the answer to loneliness may lie in learning to live alongside it, rather than denying its
existence or trying to root it out.
13．What does the underlined word “eradicate” most probably mean
A．Remove. B．Change. C．Highlight. D．Identify.
14．What is the author’s research approach to studying loneliness
A．Observing physical responses in trials. B．Collecting a variety or typical cases
C．Reviewing published research papers. D．Taking a questionnaire survey analysis.
15．What is the main purpose of the author sharing “stories”
A．To inform how loneliness varies with age. B．To emphasize the importance of storytelling.
C．To show complexities of human loneliness. D．To express his sympathy for the suffering.
16．What is the author’s suggestion for the issue of loneliness
A．Overcome it by staying busy. B．Engage with social activities.
C．Coexist peacefully with it. D．Turn to experts for guidance.
Passage（5）
【贵州省余庆中学 2024-2025 学年高三下学期开学考试】The telephone has been used for over 100 years,
allowing us to chat with our friends happily while we’re doing dishes. But there are many young people for whom
5 / 18
the idea of answering a phone call is like being trapped underwater. If the only way to survive that imaginary
situation were to answer the ringing phone, they might give up.
Many never answer such a call for fear of the unknown. Some understandably don’t answer the phone
because some calls are unnecessarily time-consuming and the information can better be communicated through text
or email, and sometimes people who enjoy talking on the phone tend to use it as a platform for awkwardly
drawn-out and too personal conversations.
This fear goes beyond all that, and many are afraid even if the incoming phone call is totally innocent. A
recent survey has found that most young people show anxiety before making a phone call. What is going on here
When talking on the phone, a person typically has to respond live and may not be mentally prepared enough
to put a carefully-worded response together, a prospect which is even more difficult when talking to someone you
don’t know. In young people’s world filled with their preferred emails and instant messages, a phone call feels like
an arrow shooting through the boundary and buffer (缓冲) such forms of communication normally afford them.
Many think phone calls should be made for urgent and serious issues, but I’d argue that line of thinking is
complicated in nature. Those kinds of emergency calls are rare, and when you think that’s what phone calls should
be made for, you tend to see them all that way. But the phone call, properly made and timed, is meant to negotiate
that line when other options are unavailable, and provides a different kind of closeness and familiarity.
So if the phone starts ringing in front of you, try picking it up, which will give you strength to deal with
other scary unknowns. Besides, you can always respond with one pleasure; hanging up.
17．What is the imaginary situation in paragraph 1 intended to show
A．Pleasure from interacting with others on the phone.
B．Young people’s unwillingness to answer the phone.
C．The terrible consequence of answering a phone call.
D．The reason why young people advocate phone calls.
18．Why do young people prefer the use of emails according to the text
A．It doesn’t require live responses. B．It can boost their critical thinking.
C．It better reveals their true emotions. D．It is able to break many boundaries.
19．Which of the following shows the author’s opinion on phone calls
A．They are likely to be prior to other options.
B．They had better be avoided among strangers.
6 / 18
C．They should always be a signal of serious issues.
D．They are not necessarily reserved for emergencies.
20．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Should Young People Give Up Their Phones
B．Are Young People Ready to Make a Phone Call
C．Why Are Young People Frightened of Phone Calls
D．How Can Young People Overcome Phone Anxiety
Passage（6）
【2025 届江西省景德镇市高三上学期二模】Since the industrial revolution, there have been concerns that new
machines would replace human jobs. Today, this fear is becoming a reality as robots and artificial intelligence (AI)
are advancing into various job sectors.
According to a March 2023 Gold man sacks report, AI could do a quarter of all the work currently done by
humans. In the EU and US alone, 300 million jobs might be at risk due to automation. Author Martin Ford warns
that this shift could be systematic, affecting many people in the meantime with potential widespread economic
applications.
However, not all hope is lost. There remain areas where human qualities, such as emotional intelligence and
creative thinking, are indispensable. Jobs in three categories are likely to be more secure against AI:
1. Truly creative role, especially those in science, medicine, law, and business strategy. While some creative
fields like graphic design may be vulnerable to ad, others that involve coming up with novel ideas will still need
humans.
2. Positions requiring complicated interpersonal skills, including nursing, consulting, and investigative
journalism. These jobs demand a deep understanding of human relationships, which AI cannot easily copy.
3. occupations needing mobility, proficiency, and problem-solving skill in unpredictable environments, such
as trade jobs. Electricians, plumbers, and welders (焊工) face situations that constantly change, making these roles
challenging for automation.
Ford emphasized that neither advanced education nor high-income positions guarantee safety from ad.
White-collar workers, who often write reports or analyze data, may find their jobs more threatened by AI than less
educated workers in physically demanding roles, like cleaning hotel rooms, which are harder to automate.
In conclusion, seeking employment in dynamic environments that involve unpredictable tasks can help
7 / 18
safeguard against job loss to AI, at least for now. For students preparing for their future careers, it’s wise to
consider fields that emphasize creativity, human interaction, and adaptability in complex settings.
21．What can we learn from the report in paragraphs
A．A significant number of jobs may be affected by AI.
B．Automation will create more jobs than it re moves.
C．The effect of ad on employment will be mild.
D．only low-skill jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence.
22．Which of the following jobs is considered more secure against AI replacement
A．Graphic design. B．Data analysis.
C．Report writing. D．Investigative journalism.
23．What does Martin Ford stress about the impact of ad on employment
A．It will not affect the high-paying jobs.
B．It could primarily replace uneducated workers.
C．It could pose a less threat to the physically demanding jobs.
D．It will probably not influence white-collar jobs.
24．What suggestion does the passage provide for the students regarding the future career
A．To focus on careers that require routine and predictable tasks.
B．To seek employment only within dynamic and rapidly changing industries.
C．To consider occupations that highlight innovation, communication and adaptability.
D．To avoid any jobs that could potentially be affected by automation.
Passage（7）
【2025 届黑龙江省哈尔滨市第九中学等校高三 1 月份适应性测试】Americans spend more on lottery (彩票)
tickets than movies, video games, and concerts combined. Leading the way are the lowest-income households,
which spend an estimated $412 each year, four times the amount spent by the highest-income households. As
financial writer Morgan Housel describes in his 2022 book, The Psychology of Money, “without $400 for an
emergency, low-income lottery players are blowing their safety nets on something with a one-in-millions chance of
making a fortune. While a player may occasionally get lucky, the more they play over lotteries, the likelier it is that
their monetary losses will reach the intended average.”
So why do those living under the worst conditions spend so much more on them The financial knowledge
8 / 18
might explain that this behavior is born purely of ignorance, but Housel and scientific researchers point to
alternative psychological explanations. They highlighted the inequalities present in the U. S. and noted that
low-income players may consider lotteries to be a “social equalizer” which creates hope for material improvement
and a higher social status that cannot be achieved through conventional channels.
Is it really so ridiculous that a person laboring for 50 hours a week making $20 an hour would spend $10 a
week on lottery tickets to, at least for a moment, entertain the dream of becoming rich A millionaire choosing to
spend a tenth of their savings on a speedboat is arguably making a worse financial decision. The same could be said
of an office worker making $100,000 a year spending S200 each week to dine out wastefully.
As Housel points out in his book, the numerous ways we can spend our money, and even the modern
monetary system itself, have only been around for no more than decades. Our slow-to-adapt thinking systems are
not well-prepared for making solid financial decisions in a rapidly changing world.
“We all do crazy things with money because we' re all relatively new to this game and what looks crazy to
you might make sense to me,” Housel wrote. “But no one is crazy. We all make decisions based on our own unique
experiences that seem to make sense to us in a given moment.”
25．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A．Those who earn more spend more on lottery tickets.
B．Americans like playing the lottery tickets best.
C．Low-income households can’t afford to spend money on lottery tickets.
D．Those who place expectations on lottery tickets may lose hope at last.
26．According to Housel, what accounts for the popularity of lottery tickets among low-income players
A．They want to fight against inequality.
B．They lack a sense of financial management.
C．They can have anticipation for better life.
D．They need entertainment to meet psychological demands.
27．Why are a millionaire and an office worker mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To justify the consumption of lottery tickets.
B．To make a contrast between different spending patterns.
C．To emphasize the misuse of money in distinct areas.
D．To showcase their financial decisions on distributing money.
9 / 18
28．What’s Housel’s attitude towards the low-income lottery players
A．Dismissive. B．Admiring. C．Critical. D．Tolerant.
Passage（8）
【2025 届广东省高三 1 月第一次模拟考试】Melancholy and suicidal ideations have experienced a twofold
increase among the youthful populace of America, as per a recent investigation promulgated by the American
Psychological Association.
What are the probable catalysts for this alarming trend The ubiquitous presence of cell phones and the
pervasive influence of social media are identified as likely culprits.
“An augmented number of US adolescents and young adults in the latter part of the 2010s, in
contradistinction to those in the mid-2000s, have grappled with significant psychological turmoil, severe depressive
episodes, and a heightened incidence of suicide attempts,” opines Jean Twenge, the principal investigator and a
professor of psychology at San Diego State University. “These escalating patterns are either feeble or entirely
absent among individuals aged 26 and above, thereby intimating a generational metamorphosis in the prevalence of
mood disorders rather than a uniform augmentation across the entire spectrum of ages.”
Twenge postulates that this disconcerting trend is partially attributable to the meteoric rise of digital culture
over the preceding decade, which may have distorted the modalities of social engagement to such an extent that it
has had a palpable impact on the incidence of mood disorders.
The study meticulously scrutinized data derived from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which
meticulously monitored drug and alcohol consumption alongside mental health concerns in an extensive cohort of
over 200,000 youths, aged between 12 and 17, from the year 2005 to 2017, and nearly 400,000 adults from 2008 to
2017.
The prevalence of major depression within the preceding 12-month period escalated by a staggering 52
percent among children from 2005 to 2017 and by 63 percent among young adults in the age bracket of 18 to 25
from 2009 to 2017. Additionally, there was a precipitous 71 percent rise in young adults experiencing grave
psychological distress within the antecedent 30-day span from 2008 to 2017.
So, what distinguishes the present epoch from those that preceded it According to Twenge, empirical
research indicates that the younger generation is not availing themselves of as much somnolent repose as their
forebears did.
While older Americans may have achieved a greater degree of stability in their lives, the digital era has
10 / 18
likely precipitated a peak in sleep-disrupting social stressors for teenagers and young adults, she posits. Moreover,
older adults are comparatively less prone to permit electronic devices to interfere with their nocturnal slumber.
These findings underscore the exigency for further research to comprehend the differential impact of digital
communication vis-à-vis face-to-face social interaction on mood disorders and to devise targeted interventions
tailored to the unique needs of younger demographic cohorts.
As for her sage advice She advocates for the cessation of phone usage at least one hour prior to the onset of
bedtime.
29．What might Professor Twenge agree with？
A．Mood disorders show no difference across all ages.
B．Teens are less likely to let devices interfere with sleep.
C．Digital cultural explosion might cause depression in teens.
D．The past decade has seen a sharp decrease in teens mental disorders.
30．How is Paragraph 6 developed？
A．By stating facts. B．By giving examples.
C．By providing statistics. D．By presenting theories.
31．What do the underlined words “social stressors” in Para 8 mean？
A．Interaction modes. B．Mental health issues.
C．Drug and alcohol use. D．Cell phones and social media.
32．From which is the text probably taken？
A．A biology textbook. B．A medical case.
C．A travel guidebook. D．A science magazine.
