1.(2024秋 东湖区校级期末) Nearly every cell in the human body operates on a circadian clock (昼夜节律),an internally driven 24﹣hour rhythm.Long﹣distance travel upsets those routines.(1) .While some degree of jet lag may be impossible to avoid,three sleep experts gave several suggestions for how to minimize the effects.
Shift your bedtime
Travelers facing a time change can prepare their bodies before takeoff by adjusting their sleep schedules,said Dr.Sairam Parthasarathy,director of the Center for Sleep."Starting about three days before traveling east,move up your bedtime by 30 minutes each night,"he explained.(2) ."Go to bed progressively later over the days before your flight,and once you land,try to get some light exposure to delay sleep."
(3)
What you do when you land may matter more than preparation before your flight.Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the University of California Los Angeles Sleep Disorders Center,says that light exposure is the key regulator of circadian rhythms.He advises travelers who land in the morning to wear sunglasses to avoid seeing direct sunlight until early afternoon.As your trip progresses,it becomes more OK to see morning light.
Avoid naps
A midday nap is a serious no﹣go for travelers hoping to remove symptoms of jet lag.Avidan explains that an afternoon snooze"only prolongs the mismatch between your internal time and the external time.If you absolutely need some shut﹣eye to get through the day,take a strategic power nap of no longer than 20 minutes."(4) .
Get moving
Emily Schmitt says that travelers should resist the call of the hotel bed and a room﹣service breakfast on their first morning in a new time zone.(5) ."It could simply be wandering down to your local coffee shop."Schmitt said.Exercise,even low﹣key movement,supports healthy digestion and the battle against jet lag by keeping you alert until it's time for sleep.
A.Make the most of your first day
B.Minimize your sunlight exposure
C.Instead,have it after a 20﹣min workout
D.The same applies to consuming caffeine
E.Thus the body get confused,making us jet﹣lagged
F.Sleeping longer risks sacrificing your night's sleep
G.Those traveling west should reverse the instructions
2.(2024秋 昌平区期末) You're standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator.You have no more than a minute to kill.And yet,before you've even realized what you're doing,you've pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps.
(1) Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing.Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification.For the rest of the time,they checked their phones totally unplanned,often without thinking through why they were doing it.We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we're not doing anything,even for just a few seconds.
Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge,entertainment,and social connection.All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips.Now we do.Our phones are basically all﹣you﹣can﹣eat buffets for our brains,endlessly and easily serving up the things they want.(2)
A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm.(3) Over time,constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance,relationships,sleep,and possibly even physical safety,if you're doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive.(4) When you give in to your urges and check your phone,then feel guilty about it,the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.
If you want to break the habit of constant checking,you'll have to work at it.Building awareness is a good way.(5) For example,next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content,think about whether you really want to be on your phone,or you are just putting off a less﹣fun task.
A.Checking your phone is often automatic.
B.There's also a mental﹣health element to consider.
C.Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves.
D.Start going without your phone for set periods of time.
E.The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief.
F.Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior.
G.But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up.
3.(2024秋 天心区校级期末) Knowing another language opens doors for kids and adults alike.But most educators agree that childhood is the ideal time for language learning.If you want your children to be bilingual (双语的),here is where to start.
You should be flexible and use the method working best for your family.Some families favor "one parent,one language".Some take on the task of learning a second language alongside their children. (1) Depending on your home situation,this can require a lot of planning,effort and persistence (坚持) on your part.
You'd better use all of the resources at hand.While having back﹣and﹣forth conversations with native speakers is the most effective,there are lots of other ways. (2) Watching a favorite show or reading an interesting book in the non﹣dominant (非主导的) language can make learning enjoyable.You may also find classes and schools that teach in the language you want your children to learn.
(3) Travel is one way to engage your kid in everyday situations that are meaningful and real.Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child's interest in and understanding of the language.But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions. (4) For example,your son can use Spanish when playing with his Spanish﹣speaking cousins.
While you can always change the language learning plan if the path you're on isn't working,you shouldn't get too discouraged when things aren't happening as quickly as you might expect. (5) Language learning is a progressive and long﹣lasting process,and breakthroughs may come in unexpected ways and at different times for each individual.
A.Know there's a lot happening under the surface.
B.Provide authentic opportunities for speaking practice.
C.Individuals have different levels of fluency in each language.
D.Introduce TV programs,songs and books in both languages to children.
E.And others use a mix of strategies to expose their kids to both languages.
F.Books can be used in a way that is developmentally appropriate for children.
G.As a matter of fact,they can take place with relatives speaking the language.
4.(2024秋 仓山区校级期末) It is natural to compare ourselves to others and to get caught in a mental comparison loop(圈) ,and yet this seldom is beneficial.You may have heard the expression, "(1) "To me,this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel satisfied at the same time.
Comparison not only robs us of delight,but it also fuels self﹣criticism and a lack of self﹣acceptance.(2) "I am not as successful,competent,attractive as they are.""Why don't I have what they have?"We use comparison as an avenue for self﹣criticism, "What's wrong with me?I must be an exact loser."This hinders self﹣acceptance.
We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards,and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up,particularly if we have a low sense of self﹣worth.(3) We don't just ask ourselves, "What's wrong with me?"We worry what others will think:"What's wrong with them?"The looming sense of possible rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.
(4) It tells us that if we meet the expectations,lose weight,get a promotion,or buy a new house,we will feel better,calmer,more self﹣assured,and stop comparing ourselves.This may be temporarily true,yet,a comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self,not external circumstances.We can always find something else to compare,another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting.(5) So comparison can destroy our awareness of personal values gradually.
To stop comparing ourselves to others,we have to recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and stop playing.
A.No comparison,no life.
B.Comparison is the thief of joy.
C.Comparison can even be misleading.
D.And we fear that we are going to be judged by our failures.
E.We are focused on others and not on what is meaningful to us.
F.Typically,comparison will lead to feeling inadequate or inferior.
G.Shift from being guided by comparison to being guided by values.
5.(2024秋 宝安区期末)When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada,I hadn't expected that communication would be an issue.(1) I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada,I realized how wrong I was.In research discussions,surrounded by native English speakers,I had to be careful.I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language.(2) Finally,I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response.Constantly thinking about what I would say next,I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later,a simple idea occurred to me.(3) Communicating with my colleagues by e﹣mail,I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts.Over time,this practice helped improve my English significantly.
(4) I decided to remind them that English is not my first language.I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions.It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness.And at first,the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised.But the dynamics(动力) quickly improved.They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking,and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.(5)
A.Plus,I learned to be open with my colleagues.
B.Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?
C.I had thought I could express myself in English easily.
D.Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.
E.Then,I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.
F.With efforts on both sides,we could overcome language barriers.
G.How can one deny the significance of effective communication?
6.(2025 苏州模拟) In today's rapidly changing world,environmental protection has become a topic of great concern for people all over the globe.From the smallest individual actions to large ﹣ scale international policies,every effort counts in the fight to preserve our planet.Here are some important aspects and ways to contribute to environmental conservation.
Reduce,Reuse,Recycle
One of the most fundamental principles of environmental protection is the "3 R" concept. (1) By reducing the amount of waste we generate,we can significantly decrease the pressure on landfills and natural resources.For example,choosing to buy products with minimal packaging can cut down on the amount of waste materials.Reusing items is another great way to save resources.Instead of throwing away old clothes,books,or furniture,you can donate them or find creative ways to repurpose them. (2) Recycling is equally important.Many materials such as paper,plastic,glass,and metal can be recycled into new products,reducing the need for raw material extraction.
Energy Conservation
Energy consumption is a major contributor to environmental problems,especially climate change. (3) At home,you can start by switching to energy ﹣ efficient light bulbs,unplugging electronic devices when they are not in use,and adjusting the thermostat to a more energy ﹣ saving setting.In the workplace,encouraging the use of natural light and proper insulation can also make a big difference.Additionally,consider using public transportation,carpooling,cycling,or walking instead of driving alone.This not only reduces your carbon footprint but also helps to ease traffic congestion.
Protecting Biodiversity
Biodiversity is essential for the stability and health of our ecosystems. (4) When we destroy habitats,many species are at risk of extinction,which can have far ﹣ reaching consequences for the entire planet.To protect biodiversity,we can support conservation organizations that work to preserve natural habitats and endangered species.Planting native trees and plants in our gardens can also provide a habitat for local wildlife.Avoiding the use of pesticides and herbicides in our gardens helps to protect beneficial insects and other small animals.
Educating Others
Education plays a crucial role in environmental protection. (5) By raising awareness about environmental issues,we can inspire more people to take action.You can start by educating your family and friends about simple ways to be more environmentally friendly.Schools and communities can also organize environmental education programs to teach students and residents about the importance of protecting the environment and the actions they can take.
A.This concept helps us to make better use of resources and minimize waste.
B.We should try to conserve energy in our daily lives as much as possible.
C.Many species are facing extinction due to human activities.
D.People need to understand the impact of their actions on the environment.
E.And recycling centers play a key role in this process.
F.We should focus on economic development at all costs.
G.These actions can have a positive impact on the environment in the long run
7.(2025 浙江模拟) In today's fast﹣paced digital world,electronic waste,or e﹣waste,has become a significant environmental concern.According to the Global E﹣waste Statistics Partnership (GESP),a record 53.6 million tonnes of e﹣waste was produced globally in 2019,increasing 21% in just five years.By 2050,the volume of e﹣waste could top 120 million tonnes annually.(1)
The improper disposal of it poses serious threats to the environment and human health because of the presence of harmful materials such as lead and mercury.(2) It is due to their rapidly developing bodies,including their respiratory (呼吸的),immune and central nervous systems.
Luckily,many countries are turning to tackle the e﹣waste challenges.They commit to specializing in refurbishing (翻新) electronics,making them available to consumers at a lower cost.(3) By doing so,valuable materials such as gold,silver,and copper can be extracted from electronic devices,reducing the need for mining new resources.
Meanwhile,individuals can also contribute to e﹣waste disposal by being mindful of their electronic consumption.(4) Support electronic manufacturers committed to green technologies aiming for a sustainable cycle of production.Additionally,to ensure the safe and secure disposal of all sensitive information,prioritizing data security in e﹣waste disposal is necessary.
(5) Do remember to reduce the environmental impacts of electronic products and share a greener and more sustainable future.
A.It is every small action that counts.
B.Prevention and management are needed.
C.Recycling efforts have also become a key component.
D.This includes buying quality products that last longer.
E.Children and pregnant women are especially vulnerable.
F.However,currently only 17.4% of it is recycled responsibly.
G.Only a small percentage of e﹣waste has been recycled globally.
8.(2025 湖南二模) Project SEKAI Colorful Stage!feat.Hatsune Miku is a rhythm game jointly developed by SEGA,Craft Egg,and Crypton Future Media,and produced by SEGA Games and Craft Egg's subsidiary Colorful Palette.It is also known by the abbreviation "PJSK".
About Project SEKAI
Project SEKAI Colorful Stage!feat.Hatsune Miku primarily takes the real world area near Shibuya,Japan as its backdrop.(1) ,singing songs created by various creators as virtual singers.The other stage, "SEKAI",originates from the realm of thought,where numerous songs are also created.One of the main characters,Hoshino Ichika,adventitiously encounters Hatsune Miku (初音未来) here.In addition to Hoshino Ichika,the game features other characters with their own aspirations.Initially released,five distinct groups emerged,each with their own "aspirations", "SEKAI",and "musical styles".
Game Features

(2)
As for the gameplay,commands will appear in a top﹣down format,coordinating with rhythm and various commands to create combos (连击数,即连续点击note的数目),which named the game's chart.The game features three types of notes:TAP,FLICK,and HOLD.(3) The difficulty of songs ranges from the easiest "Easy" to the most challenging "Master," divided into five stages,allowing players to freely select a difficulty level that suits their play style.The design style of the game's chart is highly reminiscent of SEGA's arcade (街机) rhythm game CHUNITHM,featuring intertwined long﹣hold sliders and notes of varying widths.(4) During gameplay,the background will showcase 3 DMV animations produced by SEGA Games for players' enjoyment.However,considering the impact of the songs themselves,some tracks will be presented in the 2 DMV format.
Worldview
In the "Project SEKAI",Hoshino Ichika and others accidentally stumbled into the "SEKAI" and encountered six virtual singers.(5) People gain entry to the world via "UNTITLED" tracks.These songs,devoid of lyrics or melodies,coalesced simultaneously with the world.Only those imbued with profound yearnings will encounter "UNTITLED" tracks.Upon the world's possessor discovering their authentic aspirations,the "UNTITLED" transform into a song,known as the group's "group song" (colloquially).
A.Notably,some songs in the game will be divided into "original version" and "SEKAI version" sung by both virtual singers and original game characters.
B.Virtual singers manifest in distinct guises and inhabit distinct worlds,aiding individuals in discerning their authentic aspirations.
C.When it comes to the 3 DMV and songs,PJSK combines 3 DMV with popular VOCALOID tracks (术力口歌曲),which widely attract various players.

F.In the tangible world,the virtual singer Hatsune Miku,along with Kagamine Rin&Len,Megurine Luka,MEIKO,and KAITO,is collectively referred to as "Hatsune Miku and her partners"
G.In terms of songs,PJSK has featured a wide selection of highly popular VOCALOID tracks and collaborates with renowned VOCALOID composer to release original songs.
9.(2024秋 山西期末) The harmonica(口琴) is small,light,and often cheap enough to buy.It's no wonder that when the harmonica was first introduced into the United States,it became a huge trend.
The harmonica was invented in the 1820s as an aid for tuning pianos.(1) That drove the industry to poorer parts of Europe,where workers shifted back and forth between working in traditional agriculture and taking industrial jobs.By the early twentieth century,almost all harmonicas came from two remote parts of Germany,Klingenthal and Trossingen.These two towns produced 30 million harmonicas in 1913.
The market for the instruments was mostly across the Atlantic.As large numbers of Germans emigrated(移民) to the US in the mid﹣nineteenth century,harmonica﹣makers carried their products with them.At first,the customers were mainly German﹣Americans,who bought harmonicas as souvenirs of home.(2) Hohner,a major Trossingen producer,went from making 87,000 instruments in 1880 to 2.1 million in 1892,with ninety percent of its sales in North America.
(3) In part,the instrument showed up at the right time.In the years after the American Civil War,the country was industrializing rapidly,families had higher incomes,and mail﹣order catalogues(邮购目录) were on the rise. (4) .Selling for as little as five or ten cents by the end of the nineteenth century,harmonicas were affordable for many people who couldn't buy a traditional instrument.They were also easy to play with no need for expensive music lessons.Harmonicas became popular as gifts for children,and as pocketable instruments for World War I soldiers.
Musicians from a range of backgrounds adapted the harmonica to their musical traditions.Most significantly,the harmonica found its way into the blues,which emerged as a new genre starting in the 1870s.(5)
A.But in the 1880s,sales took off.
B.How did the harmonicas influence Americans?
C.The harmonica was also an accessible instrument.
D.Why did so many Americans buy harmonicas?
E.And now comes a problem that many beginning harmonica players encounter.
F.However,making the instruments was hard work,and demand was inconsistent.
G.The German instrument turned into a must﹣have for a type of music that is very American.

How to Protect Against Undue Influence Online
The potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity.Undue influence can affect our perceptions and influence our decisions.It may even endanger our autonomy and mental health.(1)
Understand what undue influence is.
The first step to protecting yourself is understanding what undue influence is.Undue influence refers to a situation in which an individual or group employs unreasonable control over another person's behavior,information,thoughts,and emotions.(2) Disinformation campaigns,persuasive advertising,and even content designed to cause fear,uncertainty,or dependency may often appear online.
Develop media literacy skills.
In an age of fake news,it is crucial to develop media literacy skills.(3) Become a consumer who can tell the quality of information,identify the source,check for credibility,and look for your unconscious assumptions and preferences.
(4)
Delete as much data as you can about yourself.Be mindful of what information you share online,and always ensure that your online activities are secured through reliable sources.Review all policies on platforms,especially"free"ones.If you aren't paying,then you are the product,as in many cases,they are selling your data.
By including these steps into your digital life,you can protect yourself from undue influence in the online world,ensuring that you can think and act independently,free from ill control.

11.(2025 喀什市模拟) Effective studying is important in college,and many new college students quickly find that their former study habits need major adjustments.However,you can develop some excellent study habits in your senior school, (1) .
Study with a positive attitude.If you see studying as a chore,you're likely to get frustrated (沮丧) and burnt out. (2) Instead,look at the positives.Think of this as a way to improve your skills and abilities and get the most out of your education.Studying can be stressful.It's important to address and challenge stressful thoughts.
Form a study group.(3) Ask them to form a study group.The right study group can really help you stay focused and engaged and gain a better understanding of course materials.But if your study group is made up of friends,studying may turn into socializing fast.So remember to choose the right peers.Pick good students who are genuinely focused on class.
Go to your professors with questions.There is nothing to be embarrassed about if you have questions. (4) If you have questions on a concept or subject,e﹣ mail your professors or go to office hours.They may be able to offer you tips and tricks to better understand the materials.When e﹣ mailing your professors,state your class day and time in the subject header.Professors often teach more than one class.

12.(2025 郑州模拟) When parents are on their phones a lot,what will happen to their kids?Parents who stare at their screens instead of talking to their kids aren't just modeling poor behavior,but they could be preventing their children's language development,a new study found.
Parents who use screens more have children who use screens more.And those children have a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary.When screens are in use,either by a parent or a child,there is less talking,teaching and reading in house﹣holds.(1)
What's more,when kids watch screens with their parents,the study found it doesn't help their language skills.(2) For example,kids ages 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when they are taught through a live interaction or even video chat,but not by watching a video,according to a September 2023 study.
The study suggests parents should try not to spend too much time on devices when they are with their children.(3) Try to spare a few minutes﹣start with 15 minutes a day if it seems really hard﹣where your phone is truly out of sight,out of mind.It helps model good practices for your kids.
Parents are also advised to re﹣evaluate whether they need to be responsive to everything that comes through on their phones in real time.We live in a world where everything seems urgent but usually actually isn't. (4) It's simply not possible.
(5) It's never too late to repair.Spend some extra time reading together or in a no﹣phone zone like the dinner table.By caring about your kid's development and looking into tips like these,you are already doing a great job.
A.We don't actually need our phones all the time.
B.It is an easy way to calm children down or occupy them.
C.Avoid checking your phone instead of hanging out with your friends.
D.And this may be a reason for the lower grammar skills and vocabulary.
E.Try not to put pressure on yourself to respond immediately to everything.
F.Another research also suggests younger children don't learn well from screens.
G.But parents shouldn't overstress if they or their child have spent much time on screens.
13.(2025 上饶一模) Artificial Intelligence(AI)is becoming increasingly popular in children's lives,from voice﹣activated assistants like Alexa to AI﹣powered homework help tools. (1) To help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency,here are some practical strategies:
Frame AI as a supportive partner,not a solution.(2) If they're working on an assignment,ask them to first attempt it independently.Once they've done their best,they can use AI to check their work or get additional insights.This way,they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort.
(3) Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from.Encourage your child to ask questions like,"How did this answer come to me?"or"Is this information proven?"This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess Al﹣generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience.When kids are working on creative projects,such as writing or artwork,suggest they use AI as a brainstorming tool.(4) However,they need to shape those ideas in their unique style.This approach helps them see AI as a springboard for their creativity,not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use.Just as you set limits on screen time,establish boundaries for AI use.For example,decide that AI can be used for initial research.(5) These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool,it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than a crutch(依靠),you'll promote their independence,creativity and critical thinking.
A.Model responsible AI use.
B.Teach them to question the source.
C.However,do not use it to complete assignments.
D.Encourage kids to view AI as a helper,not a shortcut.
E.AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly.
F.For example,if they're writing a story,they can ask AI for topic ideas.
G.While these technologies can be incredibly useful,over﹣reliance can lead to problems.
14.(2024秋 菏泽期末) Sports injuries happen when we push our body too hard,and mistakes like running too much or not warming up enough can also cause them.(1)
Set realistic goals.
You should definitely set goals and work hard to achieve them.(2) Whether your goal is to swim more laps or run a specific distance,set an obtainable goal and gradually work to improve.
Plan and prepare.
If you plan to begin exercising regularly,you should meet with a health adviser first and discuss your options.(3) Working with a personal trainer is often a safe and enjoyable way to start a new activity.
Warm up and cool down.
It is important to warm up before physical activity because research has shown that a heated muscle is less likely to be strained(扭伤).One way experts recommend is some light walking or jogging before you start your exercise and then again afterward to help your muscles cool down slowly.(4) This can be done by stretching before and after a workout,but it is best to do so once the body is already warm.
Take your time.
Don't push yourself too hard or too fast.(5) We need to allow for enough time to gradually increase training levels so that our bodies have time to adjust to the stress on our bones,joints and muscles.For instance,when you are running,increase the distance gradually and give yourself plenty of time to recover between workouts.
A.Getting in shape or learning a new sport takes time.
B.However,it's crucial that your goals are realistic and achievable.
C.Another important way to prevent injury is to increase your flexibility.
D.Adjust your activities if your body is showing signs of too much stress.
E.Also,take your time to learn the best techniques required for your sport.
F.If unsure of how to do an exercise properly,ask a coach or trainer for help.
G.To help keep you from experiencing such injuries,here are some preventive tips.
15.(2024秋 沧州期末) Many people are never taught etiquette(礼节)rules around great sorrow or how to talk about death,which can lead to some unfortunate mistakes.Expressing comfort in the right way is not an easy thing for you.Remember,first and foremost:People who are feeling sorrow need to be engaged with kindness and sympathy.(1) Then,find better alternatives that offer true concern and support.
Here are a few important blanket guidelines.
Don't use platitudes(陈词滥调).Think:common sayings like "sending thoughts and prayers" or "everything will work out for the best. "(2) Instead,aim for sympathetic connections that are sincere,heartfelt words individualized to that person.
Do tailor your statement to the relationship.(3) For instance,someone who has lost a parent may need to hear something a little different than someone who lost a high school friend.When someone is experiencing intense sorrow,you shouldn't try to "fix" it or explain it.Say this instead:"Tell me about him/her."
(4) It's perfectly fine to say something like, "I don't know what to say right now,but I'm so sorry for your loss."Empathy(共情)is a powerful form of support.You can just be here with them in this moment.
Do apologize if necessary.Even when you go into it with the best of intentions,there are some mistakes people often make when talking about sorrow.For example,when you understandably want to love and support them,but your words don't always come across as supportive or comforting as they mean them to be.Mistakes and misunderstandings are unavailable.(5)
A.Do admit you are nervous.
B.Above all,figure out common phrases to avoid.
C.Do tell you know what they are going through.
D.Don't claim that you fully know what they are going through.
E.The key is to face them,offer an apology and do better next time.
F.These types of impersonal messages can make the sufferer feel dismissed and unheard.
G.Acknowledge the relationship that the sorrowful person had to the person who has passed on.
16.(2024秋 河南期末) The Diderot Effect is what happens when a new possession makes our old things look bad so we feel a need to replace them all.You buy your kids new backpacks for school and they complain that their pencil cases and lunch bags don't match,so you buy them new pencil cases and lunch bags.Then,of course,you can't put their old pencils in new pencil cases so you buy new pencils,and pens.(1) This cycle of replacing old items with new ones can be endless,and even if we' ve never heard the name before,it's hard to deny the impact of the Diderot Effect on our lives.So,what steps can you take to break this endless cycle of consumption?
Recognize it before it happens.
(2) Don't let every new item start an endless spiral of purchases.Each time you buy something new,remind yourself that the other items you're feeling tempted(被引诱的)to replace wore perfectly fine until now﹣and probably still are.
Buy new items that fit what you already have.
When you do need to buy something new,finding pieces that fit what you already own will reduce the temptation to replace perfectly good things.For example,add a new piece of furniture that matches your existing room decor(装饰风格),Otherwise,you' ll need to buy everything new.(3)
Practise mindful shopping.
Mindful shopping in about being fully aware of your thoughts and feelings before purchasing a new item.(4) That is,before buying anything,stop and ask yourself a few mindful shopping questions.Ninety﹣nine times out of a hundred,you'll decide you don't really need the item.
(5)
Despite what marketers want you to believe,it's good to remind yourself that material possessions don't define your self﹣worth.Ensure you buy items because you really need or want them,and not just to impress your social circle.

Tips for Setting Boundaries
We've all been there:Sometimes you know that you need to decline someone's request,but somehow,in the end,you reluctantly agree to take on an additional responsibility. (1) If you experience difficulties with setting boundaries.don't lose hope.Here are ways to sharpen this tool.
Care how you feel.
(2) You can feel them throughout your body.When someone approaches you with a request,pay attention to your body's response.It tells you how to respond before you even say a word.For example.as they speak,you might feel muscle tension.This is a signal from your body to say no.
Don't delay giving your response.
When someone approaches you with a request,a common strategy is to buy time.By doing this.you secretly hope that they will miraculously forget the request,and that you will be off the hook.However.this strategy does not work.Not resolving the matter in real time allows emotional forces such as guilt to influence you. (3)
Don't over explain yourself.
In an effort to cope with difficult emotions such as guilt,you tend to overshare the reasons for saying no.However,the more information you share,the more likely you are to be persuaded into saying yes.By sharing information,you are only providing someone with the opportunity to build a case for overriding your boundaries. (4) You can be kind and direct when setting boundaries.
(5)
It can take time to become expert in any skill.The same holds true with setting boundaries.At first,setting boundaries can feel uncomfortable.You may struggle for words or not sound convincing.but over time,it gets easier.Remember that not setting boundaries is also hard.Constantly walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting people is an exhausting way to live.
A.Set boundaries often.
B.Don't be afraid of explaining.
C.Emotions are not just in your head.
D.The reason is that you lack firm boundaries.
E.When saying no,you should keep it short and sweet.
F.As a result.a delayed no may turn into a reluctant yes.
G.Setting the mental boundary lets you play multiple roles at home.
19.(2025 广宁县模拟) For most of history,people lived in small groups of up to 150 people.Then villages and small towns developed,offering safety and support through the sharing of resources.As time passed,urban living brought additional advantages such as better jobs,schools and healthcare.Larger towns also gave people more chances to meet and interact.This is important. (1)
Today,over half of the world's population currently lives in towns and cities.But this has resulted in a strange paradox(悖论).Although social opportunities are one reason people choose to live in large cities,research suggests that city life can be lonely. (2) People from all over the world can join online communities and make virtual friends without leaving their home.
The development of virtual communities can be traced back to the 1860s.Back then,telegraph operators exchanged messages and gradually formed friendships over long distances.
(3)
Later,in the 1960s,radios started to provide a means of short﹣distance communication and developed communities with their own unique language and usernames.
(4) Computers were not very powerful yet,so people could post messages and share news and stories but not music or photos.Still,people loved being able to make friends online and then hang out with them.As technology became more powerful,online communities for fun,education and business emerged,where people could explore a virtual 3 D world,have online lessons,and even buy things with virtual money.
These days,there are thousands of virtual communities and that number keeps growing.Many people believe they will become more important. (5) Particularly,they're concerned that posting personal information online might lead to a loss of privacy.So perhaps the future will be more like the past.People will spend most of their time in real communities.
A.This trend,however,is not likely to continue.
B.As Aristotle said,the nature of humans is to be social.
C.That may explain why virtual communities are so popular.
D.The first popular online communities developed in the1980s.
E.Before cell phones existed,radio was an easy way to communicate.
F.Nevertheless,others worry about problems with these communities.
G.This is among the earliest examples of virtual community interactions.
20.(2025 重庆模拟) Tower running is a sport where athletes compete by climbing skyscraper stairs. (1) Why would someone choose to race up a building with no view,no crowd,and few refreshment stations?Many are motivated by charity,raising funds to combat diseases like cancer or to support education for the less fortunate.Some are just for their inner interest,forming fundraising and training teams.
(2) It enhances heart and lung function,strengthens the lower body,and boosts endurance and mental resilience.However,tower running is not for the faint﹣hearted.Anyone who has climbed up a long flight of stairs knows climbing stairs can be painful.And the pain increases greatly during running.Tower runners must be able to deal with the stresses on their feet and legs while running.The risk of falling is real,which can lead to severe injuries.
So you'd better avoid starting your training by hitting the stairs hard,especially if you are a beginner.Start slowly and increase gradually. (3) They might run the stairs once or twice a week at an intensity that is challenging but not overwhelming.
Unlike some sports,tower running requires minimal equipment ﹣a good pair of running shoes is about it.As for clothes,personal preference rules,but comfort is key. (4) It can get hot and stuffy,so choose breathable,lightweight clothing that won't block your climb.
In summary,tower running is a unique sport that tests both physical and mental strength while often supporting worthy causes.It's a discipline that requires careful training and the right mindset to start this special exercise. (5)
A.There's no wind inside a skyscraper.
B.Climbing stairs is a demanding exercise.
C.It has been growing in popularity recently.
D.Do some warm﹣up exercises before running.
E.You can combine tower running with other sports.
F.Let's overcome the heights of urban landscapes bravely.
G.Runners can integrate stair climbing into their training routine.

1.(2024秋 东湖区校级期末) Nearly every cell in the human body operates on a circadian clock (昼夜节律),an internally driven 24﹣hour rhythm.Long﹣distance travel upsets those routines.(1) E .While some degree of jet lag may be impossible to avoid,three sleep experts gave several suggestions for how to minimize the effects.
Shift your bedtime
Travelers facing a time change can prepare their bodies before takeoff by adjusting their sleep schedules,said Dr.Sairam Parthasarathy,director of the Center for Sleep."Starting about three days before traveling east,move up your bedtime by 30 minutes each night,"he explained.(2) G ."Go to bed progressively later over the days before your flight,and once you land,try to get some light exposure to delay sleep."
(3) A
What you do when you land may matter more than preparation before your flight.Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the University of California Los Angeles Sleep Disorders Center,says that light exposure is the key regulator of circadian rhythms.He advises travelers who land in the morning to wear sunglasses to avoid seeing direct sunlight until early afternoon.As your trip progresses,it becomes more OK to see morning light.
Avoid naps
A midday nap is a serious no﹣go for travelers hoping to remove symptoms of jet lag.Avidan explains that an afternoon snooze"only prolongs the mismatch between your internal time and the external time.If you absolutely need some shut﹣eye to get through the day,take a strategic power nap of no longer than 20 minutes."(4) F .
Get moving
Emily Schmitt says that travelers should resist the call of the hotel bed and a room﹣service breakfast on their first morning in a new time zone.(5) C ."It could simply be wandering down to your local coffee shop."Schmitt said.Exercise,even low﹣key movement,supports healthy digestion and the battle against jet lag by keeping you alert until it's time for sleep.
A.Make the most of your first day
B.Minimize your sunlight exposure
C.Instead,have it after a 20﹣min workout
D.The same applies to consuming caffeine
E.Thus the body get confused,making us jet﹣lagged
F.Sleeping longer risks sacrificing your night's sleep
G.Those traveling west should reverse the instructions
【答案】EGAFC
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是应对时差反应的几个建议。
【解答】(1)联系上文题。空前Long﹣distance travel upsets those routines.(长途旅行打乱了这些常规。)说明长途旅行打乱了常规,空格处应该进一步说明会导致什么问题,空后While some degree of jet lag may be impossible to avoid,three sleep experts gave several suggestions for how to minimize the effects.(虽然某种程度的时差反应可能是无法避免的,但三位睡眠专家就如何将影响降到最低给出了一些建议。)说明了时差反应是无法避免的,因此空格处也应该提到时差反应,E选项"Thus the body get confused,making us jet﹣lagged(因此,我们的身体会感到困惑,导致我们出现时差反应)"承接上文,说明因为生物钟被打乱了,所以我们出现了时差反应,因此符合语境,故选E。
(2)联系上文题。空前Starting about three days before traveling east,move up your bedtime by 30 minutes each night.(从向东旅行前三天开始,每晚提前30分钟就寝。)说明了向东旅行的人应该怎么做,空后Go to bed progressively later over the days before your flight,and once you land,try to get some light exposure to delay sleep.(在飞行前几天逐渐推迟上床睡觉的时间,一旦到达目的地后,尽量接触一些光线来延迟睡眠。)描述的做法和前面向东旅行的人的做法是相反的,因此空格处应该说向西旅行的人做法相反,G选项"Those traveling west should reverse the instructions(向西旅行的人应该把指示倒过来)"说明了向西旅行的人应该反过来做,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选G。
(3)标题归纳题。空后的Dr.Alon Avidan,director of the University of California Los Angeles Sleep Disorders Center,says that light exposure is the key regulator of circadian rhythms.(加州大学洛杉矶分校睡眠障碍中心主任Alon Avidan博士说,光照是昼夜节律的关键调节器。)可知,本段主要讲的是到达的第一天所做的事情很重要,A选项"Make the most of your first day(充分利用你的第一天)"说明了要充分利用到达的第一天,概括了本段主要内容,可作为小标题,故选A。
(4)联系上文题。空前Avidan explains that an afternoon snooze "only prolongs the mismatch between your internal time and the external time.If you absolutely need some shut﹣eye to get through the day,take a strategic power nap of no longer than 20 minutes."(Avidan解释说,下午小睡"只会延长你的内部时间和外部时间之间的不匹配。如果你真的需要睡一会儿来度过一天,那就战略性地小睡一下,时间不要超过20分钟。")说明了下午的小睡不能超过20分钟,空格处应该说小睡为什么不能超过20分钟,F选项"Sleeping longer risks sacrificing your night's sleep(睡眠时间过长可能会牺牲你晚上的睡眠)"说明的是睡时间太长的坏处,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
(5)联系下文题。空后Exercise,even low﹣key movement,supports healthy digestion and the battle against jet lag by keeping you alert until it's time for sleep.(运动,即使是低强度的活动,也有助于健康消化,并通过让你保持警觉直到该睡觉的时间来帮助你对抗时差反应。)说明了运动的好处,空格处应该也和运动锻炼有关,C选项"Instead,have it after a 20﹣min workout(相反,锻炼20分钟后再吃)"说明了要锻炼20分钟后再吃饭,和锻炼有关,因此符合语境,故选C。

(1) A Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing.Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification.For the rest of the time,they checked their phones totally unplanned,often without thinking through why they were doing it.We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we're not doing anything,even for just a few seconds.
Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge,entertainment,and social connection.All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips.Now we do.Our phones are basically all﹣you﹣can﹣eat buffets for our brains,endlessly and easily serving up the things they want.(2) C
A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm.(3) G Over time,constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance,relationships,sleep,and possibly even physical safety,if you're doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive.(4) B When you give in to your urges and check your phone,then feel guilty about it,the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.
If you want to break the habit of constant checking,you'll have to work at it.Building awareness is a good way.(5) F For example,next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content,think about whether you really want to be on your phone,or you are just putting off a less﹣fun task.
A.Checking your phone is often automatic.
B.There's also a mental﹣health element to consider.
C.Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves.
D.Start going without your phone for set periods of time.
E.The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief.
F.Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior.
G.But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up.

(2)联系上文题。根据上文All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips.Now we do.Our phones are basically all﹣you﹣can﹣eat buffets for our brains,endlessly and easily serving up the things they want.(在我们指尖上有微型电脑之前,所有这些东西都很难找到。现在我们知道了。我们的手机基本上是我们大脑的自助餐,没完没了地、轻松地提供它们想要的东西。)可知,选项承接上文总结大脑的自我功能。故C选项"当然,我们的大脑会情不自禁地养活自己"切题。故选C项。
(3)联系下文题。根据下文Over time,constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance,relationships,sleep,and possibly even physical safety,if you're doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive.(随着时间的推移,如果你在走路或开车的时候看手机,持续的滚动屏幕可能会对你的工作表现、人际关系、睡眠甚至人身安全产生负面影响。)可知,选项与上文为转折关系且承接下文说明量的积累会产生负面的影响。故G选项"但同样值得考虑的是,所有这些小的查看加起来是多少"切题。故选G项。
(4)联系下文题。根据下文When you give in to your urges and check your phone,then feel guilty about it,the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.(当你屈服于你的欲望,查看你的手机,然后感到内疚,失败的感觉增加了伤害的羞耻。)可知,选项承接下文说明另一个考虑因素是心理健康。故B选项"还有一个心理健康因素需要考虑"切题。故选B项。
(5)联系下文题。根据下文For example,next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content,think about whether you really want to be on your phone,or you are just putting off a less﹣fun task.(例如,下次当你发现自己在浏览短视频时,甚至没有吸收内容,想想你是真的想玩手机,还是你只是在推迟一个不那么有趣的任务。)可知,下文通过具体实例说明上文要反思自己的行为。故F选项"花点时间问问自己是什么驱使着你的行为"切题,与下文话题一致。故选F项。

【解答】(1)联系上文题。根据上文Some take on the task of learning a second language alongside their children.(一些家庭承担起和孩子一起学习第二语言的任务)可知,上文提到了一些家庭的做法,可知空处内容应还是在介绍家庭所选用的学习方法,故E"And others use a mix of strategies to expose their kids to both languages.而另一些家庭采用多种策略让孩子接触两种语言"符合语境,故选E。
(2)语境衔接题。根据上文You'd better use all of the resources at hand.While having back﹣and﹣forth conversations with native speakers is the most effective,there are lots of other ways.(你最好利用手边所有的资源。虽然与母语人士进行来回对话是最有效的,但还有很多其他方法)以及后文Watching a favorite show or reading an interesting book in the non﹣dominant (非主导的) language can make learning enjoyable.You may also find classes and schools that teach in the language you want your children to learn.(看一个喜欢的节目或读一本有趣的非主流语言的书可以使学习变得愉快。你也可以找到用你希望孩子学习的语言授课的课程和学校)可知,本段讲的是要利用身边一切可用的资源。空前提到虽然与母语使用者进行互动交流是最有效的,但还有很多其他方法。空后提到看一个喜欢的非主导语言的节目或读一本有趣的非主导语言的书可以使学习变得愉快。由此可知,空处应该说明这些其他方法的具体内容,且涉及节目和图书。故D"Introduce TV programs,songs and books in both languages to children.向孩子们介绍两种语言的电视节目、歌曲和书籍"符合语境,故选D。
(3)联系下文题。根据后文Travel is one way to engage your kid in everyday situations that are meaningful and real.Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child's interest in and understanding of the language.But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions.(旅行是让你的孩子参与到有意义和真实的日常生活中的一种方式。在真实的语境中接触语言可以极大地提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。但在国外的时间并不是真正互动的必要条件)可知,空后提到旅行是让你的孩子接触有意义和真实的日常情境的一种方式,在真实的语境中接触语言可以显著提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。由此可知,空处内容应涉及为孩子提供真实的语言练习机会或环境。故B"Provide authentic opportunities for speaking practice.提供真实的口语练习机会"符合语境,故选B。
(4)语境衔接题。根据上文Exposure to the language in its real context can significantly boost a child's interest in and understanding of the language.But time abroad is not a requirement for real interactions.(在真实的语境中接触语言可以极大地提高孩子对语言的兴趣和理解。但在国外的时间并不是真正互动的必要条件)以及后文For example,your son can use Spanish when playing with his Spanish﹣speaking cousins.(例如,你的儿子可以在和说西班牙语的表亲玩耍时使用西班牙语)可知,空前提到旅行是让孩子接触真实语言环境的一种方式,但是出国旅行并不是必须的。空后是一个例子,说的是你的孩子在和说西班牙语的表亲玩的时候可以用西班牙语。由此可知,空处应该介绍其他可以提供真实语言互动的方式或情境。故G"As a matter of fact,they can take place with relatives speaking the language.事实上,他们可以和说这种语言的亲戚一起进行"符合语境,故选G。
(5)语境衔接题。根据上文While you can always change the language learning plan if the path you're on isn't working,you shouldn't get too discouraged when things aren't happening as quickly as you might expect.(如果你走的道路行不通,你可以随时改变语言学习计划,但当事情没有像你预期的那样迅速发生时,你不应该太沮丧)以及后文Language learning is a progressive and long﹣lasting process,and breakthroughs may come in unexpected ways and at different times for each individual.(语言学习是一个渐进而持久的过程,突破可能会以意想不到的方式在不同的时间到来)可知,空前提到虽然你总是可以在当前的语言学习计划不起作用时进行调整,但当进展没有你预期中那么快时,你不应该太气馁。空后提到语言学习是一个渐进且长期的过程,突破可能以意想不到的方式在不同的时间点出现。由此可知,空处内容应是在解释为什么不应该太气馁。A"Know there's a lot happening under the surface.要知道表面下有很多事情在发生"暗示了语言学习是一个内在的深层次的过程,效果可能不会立即显现出来,与上下文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选A。
【点评】七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子。解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子。
4.(2024秋 仓山区校级期末) It is natural to compare ourselves to others and to get caught in a mental comparison loop(圈) ,and yet this seldom is beneficial.You may have heard the expression, "(1) B "To me,this rings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel satisfied at the same time.
Comparison not only robs us of delight,but it also fuels self﹣criticism and a lack of self﹣acceptance.(2) F "I am not as successful,competent,attractive as they are.""Why don't I have what they have?"We use comparison as an avenue for self﹣criticism, "What's wrong with me?I must be an exact loser."This hinders self﹣acceptance.
We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards,and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up,particularly if we have a low sense of self﹣worth.(3) D We don't just ask ourselves, "What's wrong with me?"We worry what others will think:"What's wrong with them?"The looming sense of possible rejection creates uneasiness and anxiety.
(4) C It tells us that if we meet the expectations,lose weight,get a promotion,or buy a new house,we will feel better,calmer,more self﹣assured,and stop comparing ourselves.This may be temporarily true,yet,a comparison is an internal process that is ultimately based on our thoughts and sense of self,not external circumstances.We can always find something else to compare,another expectation we tell ourselves we are not meeting.(5) E So comparison can destroy our awareness of personal values gradually.
To stop comparing ourselves to others,we have to recognize that the comparison game is unwinnable and stop playing.
A.No comparison,no life.
B.Comparison is the thief of joy.
C.Comparison can even be misleading.
D.And we fear that we are going to be judged by our failures.
E.We are focused on others and not on what is meaningful to us.
F.Typically,comparison will lead to feeling inadequate or inferior.
G.Shift from being guided by comparison to being guided by values.
【答案】BFDCE
【分析】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了比较对我们的坏处,所以我们应该停止将自己与其他人比较。
【解答】(1)语境衔接题。前文You may have heard the expression(你可能听过这个表达)表明空处为对应的表达,结合后文To me,this tings true as I have found it is quite difficult to compare myself to others and feel satisfied at the same time.(对我来说,这是真的,因为我发现很难把自己和别人比较,同时又感到满意。)表明此处的句子应该与"比较和满意"有关,B选项Comparison is the thief of joy."攀比是偷走快乐的小偷"符合该主旨。故选B。
(2)联系上文题。前文Comparison not only robs us of delight,but it also fuels self﹣criticism and a lack of self﹣acceptance.(比较不仅剥夺了我们的快乐,而且还助长了自我批评和缺乏自我接纳。)可知,本段说明比较会引发自我批评,导致缺乏自我接纳,空后为对应的举例,F选项Typically,comparison will lead to feeling inadequate or inferior."通常,攀比会让人感到不足成自卑"符合主旨含义,且 lead to feeling inadequate or inferior与上文 fuels self﹣criticism and a lack of self﹣acceptance 呼应/一致。故选F。
(3)联系上文题。前文We often tell ourselves we are acceptable only if we meet certain standards,and we evaluate how we measure up by looking at others.The tendency is to conclude that we are not measuring up,particularly if we have a low sense of self﹣worth(我们经常告诉自己,只有达到一定的标准,我们才会被接受,我们通过观察别人来评估自己的标准。人们往往会得出这样的结论:我们没有达到标准,尤其是当我们自我价值感很低的时候。)可知,自我价值感较低会觉得达不到标准,很失败,D选项And we fear that we are going to be judged by our
