以读促写：情感表达之“害怕”
I was sure Miss Hanley was going to be very annoyed. It was a long and hard day and it seemed as if I were sitting on pins and needles. I regretted sending the note and was terrified of Miss Hanley's reaction. I couldn't concentrate in class, and kept sneaking glances at Lisa. She glanced back, looking equally upset. “How will Miss Hanley punish us？” we were wondering.
我相信韩丽老师会很烦的。这一天漫长又艰难，我如坐针毡，后悔送上这个便条，害怕韩丽老师的反应。我上课心不在焉，不时地偷看丽莎，她回头看我，看得出她也同样焦虑。“韩丽老师会怎么惩罚我们呢？”我们心想。
高分悟道 本段中使用了“as if I were sitting on pins and needles; was terrified of, couldn't concentrate; kept sneaking glances at, looking equally upset” 等比喻修辞、心理和神情描写，生动形象地凸显了“我”和丽莎害怕老师会惩罚我们的心情。

(2022·全国甲卷·阅读理解C篇)As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take_the_plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go，” she says.“I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous. I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has，” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

(2022·全国甲卷·阅读理解C篇)As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go，” she says.“I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous. I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has，” Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.

(2025·厦门模拟)The sun is about to set when we reach our destination, the home of a nomadic (游牧的) herder (牧民) family. My host, Batbayer, has a cheerful face, with deep wrinkles and a color from long hours working outdoors, giving him the look of a sailor from an Ernest Hemingway novel. We have prearranged our visit but travellers in Mongolia can drive up to any Mongolian yurt (蒙古包) and feel welcomed to stay.
You don't knock on the door: when you approach a nomadic family, a customary greeting is to say a kind “Hold your dog”， even if you don't see a dog.
We feast at the family home on one of the country's most distinct and tasty dishes: khorkhog, or mutton cooked using hot rocks. This comes served with onions, a variety of berries, and milk — besides more plates of meat, all from the family's own livestock (家畜)．
Mongolia is home to one of the world's few remaining truly nomadic cultures. About a fifth of the population are herders, and nomadism is complicatedly woven into the country's spirit. But modern life is catching up with the people on the grassland at rapid speed. This is in large part what my book is about: an outsider's exploration of a society undergoing modernisation while trying to hold fast to its deeply rooted traditional values.
Many of the livestock here, especially the more valuable breeds such as horses, camels and cattle, are implanted with microchips that can be monitored via satellite-based services. “I would like to use the Internet more because it's fun and useful; but the animals like it here. This is a good place for them，” Batbayer says when I ask if better Internet connectivity might influence where to move his livestock next. “I would never choose Internet over the well-being of the animals.”

(2025·河北高三联考)Standing on the South Pole at the start of the year with the wind blowing across the Antarctic, travel blogger Johnny Ward felt a wave of relief.
Just a week before, in early January 2024, he'd struggled through snow and ice to climb to the top of the Vinson Massif, Antarctica's highest peak. In 2017, he became the first Irish person to visit every country in the world.
Now, after decades of traveling and mountaineering, Ward could claim another world first — the Ultimate Explorer's Grand Slam (大满贯), which involves reaching the highest peak on every continent, and visiting both the North and South Poles in addition to visiting every country.
“I feel relieved，” Ward recalled as he slowly made his way back to his home in Thailand after climbing to the top of the Vinson Massif and then setting foot on the South Pole. “But also I'm aware I'm a normal guy, not a world-class athlete, so I guess it was more about resilience and determination more than any ability. Although I met with lots of barriers, I overcame them one by one.”
Ward had previously devoted a decade of his life, between 2007 and 2017, to visiting every country in the world. The incredible journey saw him hitchhike (搭便车) a ride on a container ship from Oman to Socotra in Yemen, travel overland from Cairo to Cape Town and travel from South Korea to Australia by bus and boat.
“It had been a huge life goal over a decade of my life, and then when I finished that I was aimless and had no idea what to do next，” he said. “I started eating badly, drinking too much, putting on weight and I ignored my business.”
Ward decided that the best way to overcome this was to challenge himself again. He began running ultramarathons (超级马拉松) and climbing mountains, and soon found that with extreme purpose and direction, he was back to loving life again.
So where will Ward go next Space The bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point of the ocean “All good things come after suffering, and I want to share that with people. So that's the next plan，” he said.

How Taking Short Vacations Can Improve Your Well-Being at Work
Without doubt, the nonstop demands of work and life can be bad for your well-being, exhausting your physical resources and cognitive capacities and possibly resulting in adverse health and performance results.
9 Research emphatically shows that vacations improve our physical and mental health while also boosting our performance at work. Perhaps surprisingly, they can even increase the likelihood of receiving a pay rise or promotion.
10 In fact, nearly half of U．S. workers take less time off than their job allows, leaving an average of 9.5 days of paid time off (PTO) on the table, according to a 2023 survey by the Pew Research Center. And for 30 percent of employees, this unused vacation time doesn't roll over to the next year. 11 taking mini-vacations throughout the year can improve their overall well-being. That means you can just use a long weekend to explore a new small town in your state, go camping in a national park, or do a biking tour of your local tourist attractions.
We know that being on vacation feels good and that it's good for us. 12 Naturally, there is the expense, and the bill involved in long trips — room, board, airfare, rail fare, sightseeing, and so on. 13 The Pew survey of over 5,900 U．S. workers found that 49 percent of participants indicated they worried they might fall behind at work if they take more vacation time.
No wonder, then, that most people don't use all their vacation time. And over half (52 percent) of U．S. employees work while on vacation.
A．If working hard is the way to earn more bread，
B．Even if many workers don't use all their PTO，
C．Taking a real break is important for so many reasons.
D．But that doesn't mean we always use our vacation time.
E．So why do we neglect to take all the time we've earned
F．Do you know why people like to take vacations whenever possible
G．It also turns out that taking extended time away from the office causes a lot of stress.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了短期休假对健康和工作都有积极的影响，并分析了大家拒绝休假的原因。
9．选C 下文说明休假有许多好处，C选项“真正休息一下很重要，原因有很多”能够引起下文，符合语境。
10．选D 上文提到休假有许多好处，下文则说，虽然休假有许多好处，但许多人却没有充分利用自己的休假时间，D选项“但那并不意味着我们总是能利用我们的假期时间”承上启下，符合语境。
11．选B 下文说明即使休假时长不够，短暂的假期也有好处，B选项“即使许多员工没有使用他们所有的带薪休假日”与下文构成让步关系，引出下文的结果——短暂的假期可以提升他们的整体幸福指数。
12．选E 上文提到休假有好处，下文说明了一些影响大家休假的原因，E选项“那么，为什么我们没有利用我们应得的时间去休假呢？”承上启下，符合语境。
13．选G 下文说明了另一个大家不去休假的原因，即害怕工作进度落后，G选项“研究还表明，长时间离开办公室会造成很大的压力”衔接上文，进一步解释大家不用完休假时间的原因。

Dear Leta，
Knowing you're coming to China for a trip, I'd like to give you a warm welcome.
There are many famous places of interest in China, among which the Palace Museum is most worth visiting. Located in the center of Beijing, it's the classic example of Chinese palace architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
I strongly recommend you have a look at the entire palace which is surrounded by tall walls, and the great halls. The red and yellow colors represent royal power. It's really the best place to learn about Chinese culture and history.
Hope you'll like it!

3.the 考查冠词。空处表示特指,指“这里所说的沉浸式体验”,应用定冠词the。

Ⅲ.应用文写作(参考范文)
Dear Leta,
Knowing you’re coming to China for a trip, I’d like to give you a warm welcome.
There are many famous places of interest in China, among which the Palace Museum is most worth visiting. Located in the center of Beijing, it’s the classic example of Chinese palace architecture of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I strongly recommend you have a look at the entire palace which is surrounded by tall walls, and the great halls. The red and yellow colors represent royal power. It’s really the best place to learn about Chinese culture and history.
Hope you’ll like it!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
