（2024·吉林省长春市朝阳区长春外国语学校高二上月考）The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
【译文欣赏】
沉默的意义在不同文化群体中各不相同。沉默可能是深思熟虑的，也可能是当一个人无话可说时的空洞。对话中的沉默也可能表现出固执或担忧。某些文化群体可能认为沉默极其令人不适，因此会试图用谈话填补每一个空白。而另一些文化群体则重视沉默，认为它是理解一个人需求的必要条件。
许多美洲原住民重视沉默，认为它是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，一些传统的中国和泰国人也是如此。因此，当来自这些文化的人说话时突然停下来，这可能意味着此人希望倾听者在继续之前思考已说过的内容。在这些文化中，沉默是一种反思的呼唤。
其他文化可能以不同方式使用沉默，尤其是在处理人际冲突或权力差异的关系时。例如，俄罗斯、法国和西班牙人可能会用沉默来表示双方对讨论话题的认同。然而，当权威人士给出指示时，墨西哥人可能会保持沉默，而不是通过与对方争论来表现粗鲁。再如，亚洲文化中的人可能将沉默视为尊重的标志，尤其是对长辈或权威人士。
护士和其他护理人员在遇到患者可能经历的个人焦虑时，需要意识到沉默的潜在含义。护士应该认识到自己对沉默的个人和文化认知，以免过早打断患者的沉默或让其不必要地持续。理解沉默治愈价值的护士可以利用这一认知，协助护理来自自身和其他文化的患者。

【知识拓展】
1. 沉默的跨文化智慧：倾听比言说更有力量
在快节奏的现代社会中，我们常被 “表达” 所驱动，却忽视了沉默的深层价值。正如文中提到，许多文化将沉默视为 “反思的呼唤”—— 它不是交流的中断，而是理解的开始。当我们在跨文化沟通中遇到沉默时，不妨将其视为一个 “暂停键”：给他人空间整理思绪，也让自己有机会深度倾听。这种对 “沉默” 的包容，本质上是对 “差异” 的尊重，正如护理人员需理解患者沉默的含义，我们在生活中也需学会解读沉默背后的文化密码与个人情感。
2. 沉默作为自我对话的契机
从个人成长角度看，沉默是心灵的 “留白”。当我们被外界声音淹没时，沉默能帮助我们剥离浮躁，回归内心的真实需求。就像美洲原住民文化中，沉默是沟通的基础 —— 唯有先与自己对话，才能真正理解他人。在人际关系中，适时的沉默并非冷漠，而是用 “不打扰” 的温柔给予对方尊重，这种智慧在冲突化解中尤为珍贵（如墨西哥人用沉默代替争执）。
3. 文化差异中的沉默哲学：求同存异的实践
文中不同文化对沉默的解读，本质上是 “文化多样性” 的缩影。这启示我们：没有绝对正确的 “沟通方式”，只有适合语境的 “理解方式”。当我们与不同背景的人相处时，与其纠结于 “沉默是否尴尬”，不如思考：“此刻的沉默在对方的文化中可能意味着什么？” 这种思维转换，能让我们跳出自我中心，在跨文化交流中建立更包容的连接，正如护士通过理解沉默的 “治愈价值” 来提升护理质量。
【词汇延伸】
1. 核心词派生词
vary（v. 变化） → various（adj. 各种各样的）→ variation（n. 变异；变体）
例：There are various opinions on the meaning of silence.（关于沉默的意义有各种观点。）
value（n. 价值 v. 重视） → valuable（adj. 有价值的）→ valuation（n. 评价；估值）
例：Silence is a valuable tool in cross-cultural communication.（沉默是跨文化沟通中的宝贵工具。）
aware（adj. 意识到的） → awareness（n. 意识）→ unawareness（n. 无意识）
例：Cultural awareness helps avoid misunderstandings.（文化意识有助于避免误解。）
2. 同义词替换
view...as... = regard...as... = consider...as...（视为……）
例：She regards silence as a form of strength.（她将沉默视为一种力量。）
fill...with... = occupy...with...（用…… 填满）
例：He occupied the silence with a story.（他用一个故事打破了沉默。）
imply = suggest = hint（暗示）
例：His expression suggested that he agreed.（他的表情暗示他同意了。）
【长难句分析】
1.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable； therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation.
结构解析：
前半句：被动语态（be viewed by），核心结构为 “silence + 谓语 + 宾语补足语（as uncomfortable）”。
后半句：therefore 连接因果关系，“attempts may be made to do sth” 为被动句式，意为 “人们可能会尝试做某事”。
翻译：某些文化群体可能认为沉默极其令人不适，因此会试图用谈话填补每一个空白。
难点突破：注意分号连接的因果逻辑，前半句说明 “看法”，后半句说明 “行为反应”。
2. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.
结构解析：
时间状语从句：when a person...stops（包含并列谓语 is speaking 和 stops）。
主句主语：what maybe implied（what 引导的主语从句）。
表语从句：that the person wants...（从句中包含 “want sb to do sth” 结构和 before 引导的时间状语）。
翻译：因此，当来自这些文化的人说话时突然停下来，这可能意味着此人希望倾听者在继续之前思考已说过的内容。
难点突破：拆解多层从句，先抓住主句主干 “what...is that...”，再逐步理解各层修饰关系。
3.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient's silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.
结构解析：
so that 引导目的状语从句，从句中包含两个并列被动结构：
is not interrupted（不被过早打断）
(is not) allowed to go on（不被允许不必要地持续）
翻译：护士应该认识到自己对沉默的个人和文化认知，以免过早打断患者的沉默或让其不必要地持续。
难点突破：注意 so that 表 “目的” 时的否定逻辑，以及并列结构中后一动词的省略现象（后句省略 is not）。
高考真题链接
（2024·广东江苏·高考真题）“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
24．What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him
A．He’s odd. B．He’s strict. C．He’s brave. D．He’s rude.
25．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets
A．He was trained in it at university. B．He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C．He benefited from it as a patient. D．He wanted to save money for pet owners.
26．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B．The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C．Examples of rare animal diseases. D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
27．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
A．To prove Farber’s point. B．To emphasize its importance.
C．To praise veterinarians. D．To advocate animal protection.
【答案】24．A 25．C 26．D 27．A
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
26．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。
1.原句：“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.”
结构解析：
条件状语从句：If he seems a little defensive（表假设）。
主句：it might be because...（because 引导表语从句，解释原因）。
核心逻辑：用 “防御性” 行为→同事嘲笑→方法不寻常，形成因果链。
翻译：如果他显得有点防御性，可能是因为甚至他的一些同事偶尔也会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。
2.原句：“He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians now practicing ‘holistic’ medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic and herbal medicine.”
结构解析：
主干：He’s one of...veterinarians（one of + 复数名词，表 “…… 之一”）。
后置定语：practicing...medicine（现在分词短语修饰 veterinarians）。
破折号解释：combining... 补充说明 holistic medicine 的内涵。
翻译：他是美国少数但数量不断增加的兽医之一，如今正实践 “整体” 医学 —— 将传统的西方治疗与针灸、按摩疗法和草药结合起来。
3.原句：“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700.”
结构解析：
宾语从句：that the holistic approach...（作 is certain 的宾语）。
条件句插入：if the past is any indication（插入语，表 “如果过去可作参考”）。
冒号解释：用协会会员增长数据佐证观点。
翻译：法伯确信，随着时间的推移，整体疗法会变得更受欢迎，如果过去的情况有任何指示的话，他可能是对的：自 1982 年以来，美国整体兽医医学协会的会员人数已从 30 人增长到 700 多人。
英文词汇 / 短语 中文释义 搭配与用法
defensive adj. 防御性的；戒备的 a ~ attitude（防御态度）
laugh at 嘲笑；取笑 ~ sb.’s methods（嘲笑某人的方法）
holistic medicine 整体医学 强调整体平衡的综合疗法
alternative treatments 替代疗法 与传统医学（conventional medicine）对比
suffer from 遭受（病痛等） ~ back pain（遭受背痛）
ease one’s suffering 缓解痛苦 ease 作动词，~ anxiety/pain（缓解焦虑 / 疼痛）
chiropractic adjustment 脊椎按摩调整 中医理疗术语，用于改善关节活动度
membership n. 会员人数；成员资格 ~ grow/decline（会员数量增长 / 下降）
背景知识与研究方法论:
1. 整体医学（Holistic Medicine）在兽医领域的应用
整体医学强调整体看待生物体，结合传统西医与替代疗法（如针灸、按摩、草药等），旨在通过综合手段促进动物健康。文中 Farber 采用的 “整体兽医医学” 是该理念的实践，其核心是突破传统西医单一治疗模式，融合不同文化背景的疗法。
2. 中医疗法在西方兽医中的发展
针灸（Acupuncture）：源于中国，通过刺激穴位调节身体机能，20 世纪后期逐渐被西方兽医接受。Farber 的个人经历（背痛通过针灸缓解）是其应用于宠物的契机。
文化认知冲突：文中提到同事嘲笑其 “unusual methods”，反映了传统医学与替代疗法在西方兽医领域初期推广时的争议。
3. 行业组织与趋势
美国整体兽医医学协会（American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association）的会员数从 1982 年的 30 人增长至 700 余人，体现了整体疗法在兽医领域的普及趋势，呼应 Farber “ahead of his time” 的判断。
阅读微技能
（一）阅读方法
1.快速扫读（Skimming）定位关键信息
通过标题、首段及段落首句快速把握文章主题（Farber 与整体兽医医学）。
例：第三段首句 “Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie...” 提示该段通过案例论证疗法效果。
2.精读（Close Reading）分析细节与逻辑
关注转折词（如 but, however）、例证词（如 for example, such as）和数据（如会员数增长），这些通常是出题点。
例：第一段 “But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh” 引出其对疗法的信心，为后文论证做铺垫。
（二）解题技巧
1.细节题（如 24、25 题）：定位 + 同义替换
划出题干关键词（如 24 题 “coworkers”），回原文精准定位，将选项与原文表述进行同义替换。
例：24 题原文 “laugh at his unusual methods” 中 “unusual” 对应选项 A “odd”（古怪的）。
2.主旨题（如 26 题）：归纳段落核心
排除细节干扰，抓住段落中重复出现的关键词或例子的共性。
例：第三段两个案例（狗和马的治疗效果）均围绕 “整体疗法有效” 展开，对应选项 D。
3.推理题（如 27 题）：分析上下文逻辑关系
关注引用数据或事例的目的，通常是为了支持前文观点。
例：27 题中协会会员增长的数据出现在 Farber 预测 “整体疗法将更流行” 之后，直接证明其观点，对应选项 A。
延伸学习建议
积累学科词汇：如 “holistic medicine”“acupuncture”“chiropractic” 等，提升科普类文章阅读效率。
强化逻辑分析：关注文中 “观点 - 例证 - 数据” 的论证结构，常见于高考阅读说明文。
真题训练策略：针对细节题，养成标记题干关键词并回原文划定位句的习惯；针对主旨题，用 “反推法” 排除包含细节但偏离核心的选项。

Passage 1
（24-25高二下·重庆·期中）As a child, I was transported to the US. To fit in at school, I kept quiet as I furiously learned how to speak just like the American kids — to say “flashlight” and “trunk”, instead of button. Gradually, I sounded just like everyone else. Unfortunately, with the confusing logic of the under-10s, I decided that my parent would feel betrayed if I lost my English accent. Besides, we’d be moving home in a few years. If I sounded American, I’d be the odd one out all over again. So I landed on my genius plan: I’d be Yankee at school and English at home.
All went smoothly until a new friend agreed to come over to play, and I had to face both my English parent and American friend in one room. So I developed the coping techniques I would rely on for the next 5 years, which ranged from not speaking at all to muttering to my friends so that only they could hear; if forced to speak, I would use words that sounded the same in both accents. There hasn’t been much research into “bidialectalism”, perhaps because it’s something we all do: the way you speak defines you.
After moving back to the UK, my parents were pleasantly surprised that I would now speak to them with my friends present, but I was also questioning when and whether to speak, and wondering who was listening. Brené Brown once said that trying to fit in is the opposite of true belonging. She had a point. Later, some American friends were due to visit us. Somehow, I made my decision: enough was enough and I was tired of fitting in. So, cautiously, I used my British voice, and said “jumper” instead of “sweater”. No one noticed or mentioned it for the first few days. Until, eventually, during a card game, one friend suddenly looked up, and said “Hey, you sound British now! Go fish.” And that was that.
1．What do we know about author’s “genius plan”
A．It’s a fake commitment to fit in.
B．It’s a good way to improve author’s English
C．It’s an immature decision to appear thoughtful
D．It’s a great opportunity to show author’s language gift.
2．What does the underlined word “bidialectalism” refer to in the 2nd paragraph
A．The tendency to disguise your own accent.
B．The way that a particular person uses English.
C．The local tongue spoken in a small community.
D．The good knowledge of two forms of the same language.
3．Why did the author stop shifting between British and American English
A．Because the author lacked the sense of belonging.
B．Because the author decided to present him/herself as it is
C．Because the author disagreed with what Brené Brown said.
D．Because the author was fed up with parroting the people around.
4．Which can be the most suitable title of the passage
A．Accent is a double-edged sword!
B．When in Rome, do as Romans do!
C．Clear language depends on clear thinking!
D．Better to be hated for what you’re than loved for what you’re not!
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者童年时为融入美国环境而切换口音的经历，以及最终决定做真实自己的心路历程。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Unfortunately, with the confusing logic of the under-10s, I decided that my parent would feel betrayed if I lost my English accent. Besides, we’d be moving home in a few years. If I sounded American, I’d be the odd one out all over again. So I landed on my genius plan: I’d be Yankee at school and English at home. (不幸的是，由于10岁以下孩子的逻辑令人困惑，我决定，如果我失去了英语口音，我的父母会感到被背叛。此外，我们几年后就要搬回家了。如果我听起来像美国人，我会再次成为那个与众不同的人。于是，我实现了我的天才计划：我在学校是美国佬，在家是英国人)”可知，作者在学校说美式英语，在家说英式英语，以此假装融入环境，这一所谓“天才计划”的决定源于 10 岁以下孩子的 “混乱逻辑”，本质上是一种不成熟的思考。故选C项。
2．词句猜测题。根据第一段“So I landed on my genius plan: I’d be Yankee at school and English at home. (于是，我实现了我的天才计划：我在学校是美国佬，在家是英国人)”以及第二段“There hasn’t been much research into “bidialectalism”, perhaps because it’s something we all do: the way you speak defines you. (关于bidialectalism的研究并不多，也许因为这是我们都在做的事情：你说话的方式定义了你)”可知，由作者在学校说美式英语，在家说英式英语的例子，可推知bidialectalism指的是对同一种语言的两种形式的熟练掌握。故选D项。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Later, some American friends were due to visit us. Somehow, I made my decision: enough was enough and I was tired of fitting in. So, cautiously, I used my British voice, and said “jumper” instead of “sweater”. (后来，一些美国朋友要来拜访我们。不知怎么的，我做出了决定：够了，我厌倦了融入。于是，我小心翼翼地用我的英国口音，说jumper而不是sweater)”可知，作者停止在英式英语和美式英语之间切换是因为他/她决定做自己，不再为了融入而改变。故选B项。
4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是最后一段“Brené Brown once said that trying to fit in is the opposite of true belonging. She had a point. Later, some American friends were due to visit us. Somehow, I made my decision: enough was enough and I was tired of fitting in. (Brené Brown曾经说过，试图融入是真正归属感的反面。她说得有道理。后来，一些美国朋友要来拜访我们。不知怎么的，我做出了决定：够了，我厌倦了融入)”以及作者最终决定做自己的经历，可以推断出文章的主旨是鼓励人们做真实的自己，而不是为了迎合他人而改变。因此，最合适的标题是“宁可因真实的自己而被讨厌，也不要因虚假的自己而被爱”。故选D项。
Passage 2
（25-26高二·全国·假期作业）The Benefits of Hobbies for High School Students
High school can be a stressful time with a heavy workload and pressure to succeed. However, engaging in hobbies can bring many advantages to high school students.
1. Relieve Stress
High-school life is full of tests, assignments, and college-entrance exam preparations. Hobbies provide a much-needed break from this academic stress. 1 Whether it’s painting, playing a musical instrument, or reading a novel, these activities allow students to relax and recharge.
2. Develop New Skills
Hobbies offer a chance to learn new things outside the classroom. For example, if a student takes up photography, they will learn about composition, lighting, and how to use a camera. 2 These skills can not only be useful in the future but also boost a student’s confidence.
3. Expand Social Circles
Joining hobby-related clubs or groups can help students meet like-minded people. 3 They can share their passion, exchange ideas, and build new friendships. For instance, students who love writing may join a writing club and interact with others who have the same interest.
4. Discover Talents
Through hobbies, students may uncover hidden talents they didn’t know they had. A student who tries dancing for the first time might find that they have a natural sense of rhythm and grace. 4 This self-discovery can open up new possibilities for their future.
5. Enhance Time-Management Skills
Balancing hobbies with schoolwork forces students to manage their time effectively. 5 By setting aside specific time for hobbies and study, students learn to prioritize tasks and become more organized.
A．This can lead to personal growth and development.
B．Hobbies can provide an escape from the daily grind.
C．It is important to choose a hobby that suits your interests.
D．These new skills can also be added to their resumes later.
E．They can also learn teamwork and communication skills.
F．They can meet people who share the same enthusiasm for that hobby.
G．Students have to plan their schedules carefully to make time for everything.

Passage 3
（24-25高二下·湖北武汉·期末）I was always shy. As a new student in the school, I spent most days staring at my desk, which made it surprising that I chatted to someone around me one day. 1 That would take all night!
After I got home, I took my time petting the cat, postponing the pain. When I finally sat down to write the five-page essay, I began with the reasons Ms. Black would want to hear.
First of all, talking in class would keep me and my neighbors from learning. I wrote wildly and one paragraph down. 2 What if talking were the first step towards life as a bad person I started picturing my future as a failed bank robber. Without the education I was throwing away, I’d turn to a criminal and go to prison! When I got out, people would point fingers at me and say, “She used to talk in class.” 3
But when mum got home from work, I was still roaring, “Five pages! That’s impossible!” “Well, you’d better get back to work,” she said, “and I want to read it when you’re through.”
Shortly after dinner, the essay packed with my complaints was handed to mum. 4 Instead, mum laughed so hard that she had to wipe her eyes, “Oh, this is going to be memorable. ”
The next day, as Ms. Black read my essay aloud, the class erupted into laughter. 5 The essay didn’t cure my shyness overnight, but I did learn I wasn’t shy in print. My face burned, but for the first time, it wasn’t from shame; it was pride.
A．I couldn’t help feeling awkward.
B．And then I chewed on my pencil.
C．Gradually the pages began flying by.
D．I expected a lecture on my behavior in class.
E．The fact was that I had the power to tell a funny story.
F．I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”.
G．Now I was paying the price by writing an essay on “Why I Should Not Talk in Class”.
【答案】1．G 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．E
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍害羞的作者因课堂交谈被罚写作文，过程中展开想象，最终收获自信的事。
1．根据上文“I was always shy. As a new student in the school, I spent most days staring at my desk, which made it surprising that I chatted to someone around me one day. (我总是很害羞。作为学校的新学生，我大部分时间都盯着桌子看，有一天我和周围的人聊天，这很令人惊讶。)”以及下文“That would take all night! (那会花一整晚的时间！)”可知，作者因在课堂上与人交谈而需要完成一篇作文，G选项“I was wondering if I could write an essay about “Overcoming shyness”. (我在想我是否可以写一篇关于“为什么我不应该在课堂上说话”的文章。)”中的内容与下文提到的写作任务相呼应，符合语境。故选G项。
2．根据上文“First of all, talking in class would keep me and my neighbors from learning. I wrote wildly and one paragraph down. (首先，在课堂上说话会让我和我的邻居无法学习。我疯狂地写着，写下了一段。)”以及下文“What if talking were the first step towards life as a bad person (如果说话是成为坏人的第一步呢？)”可知，作者写完一段后开始思考接下来的内容，B选项“And then I chewed on my pencil. (然后我咬着铅笔。)”描绘了作者思考时的动作，符合写作过程中的情景。故选B项。
3．根据上文“I started picturing my future as a failed bank robber. Without the education I was throwing away, I’d turn to a criminal and go to prison! When I got out, people would point fingers at me and say, “She used to talk in class.””(我开始想象自己未来成为一个失败的银行抢劫犯。如果我放弃了正在放弃的教育，我就会成为罪犯，进监狱！当我出来的时候，人们会指着我说，“她以前在课堂上说话。”)”可知，作者在作文中进行了夸张的想象，而这些内容让写作变得顺利，C选项“Gradually the pages began flying by. (渐渐地，页数开始飞速增加。)”表明作文在作者的想象中很快就写了很多页，符合语境。故选C项。
4．根据上文“Shortly after dinner, the essay packed with my complaints was handed to mum. (晚饭后不久，我把充满抱怨的文章递给了妈妈。)”以及下文“Instead, mum laughed so hard that she had to wipe her eyes(相反，妈妈笑得很厉害，不得不擦眼睛)”可知，作者原本预期妈妈会因为作文内容而教训作者，D选项“I expected a lecture on my behavior in class. (我预料到会有一个关于我在课堂上行为的讲座。)”中的“expected a lecture”与下文妈妈的反应形成对比，符合语境。故选D项。
5．根据上文“The next day, as Ms. Black read my essay aloud, the class erupted into laughter. (第二天，当布莱克老师大声朗读我的作文时，全班哄堂大笑。)”以及下文“The essay didn’t cure my shyness overnight, but I did learn I wasn’t shy in print. (这篇文章并没有一夜之间治愈我的羞怯，但我确实知道我在写作中并不害羞。)”可知，作者的作文很有趣，让大家发笑，也让作者意识到自己的写作能力，E选项“The fact was that I had the power to tell a funny story. (事实是我有能力讲一个有趣的故事。)”总结了作文的效果，符合语境。故选E项。

Passage 5
（24-25高一下·广东佛山·期末）Teenagers are well-known for wanting to sleep in and stay up late. This isn’t just a matter of preference — it’s a biological necessity. However, early school start times affect their natural sleep patterns and prevent them getting enough sleep. 1 And there is no shortage of benefits that come with it.
When teenagers get enough rest, they are more attentive and prepared for learning. Rested students tend to earn higher grades in tests. 2 Sleep helps them memorize what was learned throughout the day. When teenagers have a good sleep schedule, they can reason clearly and solve problems more easily. This can result in overall academic performance improvement.
3 While asleep, the body carries out important functions like building muscle and strengthening the immune system. Teenagers with enough sleep because of later school start times are less likely to fall ill and can recover faster from any health issues they may face.
Sleep plays a key role in maintaining mental health, too. When the first period begins at later times, teenagers can get the rest they need to manage their emotions better. Well-rested teens are generally happier and more emotionally stable. 4 Enough sleep can reduce the likelihood of mood swings and help teens maintain a positive outlook on life.
Research has also found that later school start times bring many other benefits, such as better social relationships and more engagement in after-class activities. School schedules that meet the biological needs of teenagers can lead to healthier, happier, and more successful students. 5
A．The reason is simple.
B．Here are a few benefits.
C．They are a practical step toward better education.
D．Getting sleep is also important for teenagers’ physical health.
E．Therefore, it is time for school to offer mental health support.
F．That’s why many experts are calling for later school start times.
G．They are better equipped to deal with the pressures of school life.
【答案】1．F 2．A 3．D 4．G 5．C
【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要分析了充足的睡眠对青少年的意义和积极影响。
1．根据上句“However, early school start times affect their natural sleep patterns and prevent them getting enough sleep.(然而，过早的上学时间影响了他们的自然睡眠模式，使他们无法获得充足的睡眠。)”和下句“And there is no shortage of benefits that come with it.(而且随之而来的益处也数不胜数。)”可知，空处应该提出了与过早上学相反的建议，从而引出下文相应的益处；F选项“That’s why many experts are calling for later school start times.(这就是为什么许多专家呼吁推迟学校的上课时间。) ”提出了专家建议的推迟上学时间，下句中的“it”指代该建议，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。
2．根据上句“Rested students tend to earn higher grades in tests.(休息充分的学生在考试中往往能取得更高的成绩。)”和下句“Sleep helps them memorize what was learned throughout the day.(睡眠有助于他们将一天中所学的内容进行记忆。)”可知，下句是对上句的解释说明，A选项“The reason is simple.(理由很简单。)”作为过渡句，起到了承上启下的作用。故选A。
3．空处为第三段的主题句。根据下文“While asleep, the body carries out important functions like building muscle and strengthening the immune system. Teenagers with enough sleep because of later school start times are less likely to fall ill and can recover faster from any health issues they may face.(在睡眠期间，身体会执行一些重要的功能，比如促进肌肉生长和增强免疫系统。由于学校上课时间推迟，从而拥有充足睡眠时间的青少年患病的可能性更低，而且他们从自身可能遭遇的任何健康问题中恢复得也更快。)”可知，该段主要讲述了充足的睡眠除了第二段所指出的有助于提高学生成绩之外，还有利于学生的身体健康，D选项“Getting sleep is also important for teenagers’ physical health.(良好的睡眠对于青少年的身体健康也非常重要。)”是对该段的总结，符合段落主题。故选D。
4．根据上句“Well-rested teens are generally happier and more emotionally stable.(睡眠充足的青少年一般会更加快乐，情绪也更加稳定。)”和下句“Enough sleep can reduce the likelihood of mood swings and help teens maintain a positive outlook on life.(充足的睡眠能够降低情绪波动的几率，并帮助青少年保持积极的生活态度。)”可知，空处应该连接着睡眠充足的青少年情绪稳定和保持积极的生活态度之间的关系，G选项“They are better equipped to deal with the pressures of school life.(他们更有能力应对学校生活中的各种压力。)”进一步解释了睡眠充足的青少年心情愉快、情绪稳定，从而更能应对学校生活的压力，而下句又对选项G进行了解释说明，语意连贯、衔接合理。故选G。
5．根据上文“Research has also found that later school start times bring many other benefits, such as better social relationships and more engagement in after-class activities. School schedules that meet the biological needs of teenagers can lead to healthier, happier, and more successful students.(研究还发现，推迟学校上课时间还有许多其他好处，比如能促进更良好的社交关系，以及让学生有更多时间参与课外活动。符合青少年生理需求的学校课程安排能够培养出更健康、更快乐以及更成功的学生。)”可知，空处为段落总结，应该表达推迟上学时间、合理安排课程时间可以使学生得到更好的发展和教育，C选项“They are a practical step toward better education.(这是迈向更优质教育的切实举措。)”中的“They”指代上句中的“School schedules”，总结了这些措施有助于学生获得更优质的教育，与文章主题相呼应。故选C。
Passage 6
（24-25高一下·贵州六盘水·期末）Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. 1 .
Choose a language
This is a personal decision. 2 If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. Maybe you live in an area with many Spanish speakers and believe being bilingual (双语的) will increase your job opportunities.

Accept mistakes
Mistakes are a common part of the process when learning a language. You may choose the wrong word, change vowel sounds, or use the present tense form of a verb when talking about something that happened last week. When you make a mistake, pay attention to the advice you get. 4 .
Set aside time to practice
5 . According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages like Dutch, French, Italian, and Spanish. You’ll spend around 900 class hours learning German, Haitian Creole, and Swahili. Sometimes you need to learn languages with fewer features in common with English. Then you’d better put in at least 1,100 class hours.

C．Focus on the 100 most commonly used words
D．Try out these steps for how to learn a new language

1．根据上文“Learning a new language is more than a skill. It gives you an opportunity to understand other cultures. (学习一门新语言不仅仅是一项技能。它给你一个了解其他文化的机会。)”以及下文小标题“Choose a language(选择一门语言)”等具体学习步骤可知，此空应引出学习新语言的步骤。D选项“Try out these steps for how to learn a new language(尝试以下学习新语言的步骤)”中的“these steps”指代下文的具体学习步骤，符合语境。故选D项。
2．根据上文“This is a personal decision. (这是个人决定。)”以及下文“If you enjoy studying Japanese history and culture, you may want to add Japanese to the list. Perhaps you’re planning to vacation in Brazil and decide to learn Portuguese before the trip. (如果你喜欢研究日本历史和文化，或许会想把日语列入学习清单。也许你正计划去巴西度假，于是决定在旅行前学习葡萄牙语。)”可知，此空应说明个人兴趣、需求和目标对选择语言的影响。F选项“Your interests, needs, and goals can help you narrow your choices(你的兴趣、需求和目标能帮助你缩小选择范围)”中的“interests, needs, and goals”对应下文的喜欢研究日本历史文化、计划去巴西度假等内容，符合语境。故选F项。
3．分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题。根据空后的“This is important because you need to know which words to use to express yourself and understand what you hear and see. According to the International Center for Language Studies, knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker.

Passage 8
（2023·四川广安·二模）Recent climate change reports paint a frightful picture of the earth’s future, but a tiny school of just 400 students is determined to make a difference.
Huonville High School in Tasmania beat out 14 schools from around the world, winning the Global High Schools Zayed Future Energy Prize. The school used the $133,000 prize to do up an old building on their grounds, transforming it into a place, called the Layed Huon Energy Hub, where students can learn to apply clean, renewable energy sources to everyday life.
Inside the building, there are solar panels, energy efficient curtains, and something like that. Here, 13 student volunteers participate in hands-on studies about clean energy sources. They have even rigged up bicycles to produce enough energy to boil oil and make donuts- small ring-shaped friedcakes.
Their teacher Nel Smit said the Hub has become an important place for students to gather, all while drawing attention to the topic many people choose to ignore. “The energy hub is a meeting place for the students, but it’s also a place where we hold workshops and demonstration events for the whole community,” she explained. “It’s raised awareness of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and opportunities in the community for engaging them around that sort of technology.”
“Running from climate change as a young person doesn’t help,” said student Aisha Fisher, who volunteers at the Hub. “The best thing you can do is to look at it from an optimistic, realistic point of view, and see what you can do.”
“Being part of Zayed has definitely helped me feel like I’m doing something. I’m making a change, and that has reassured me not to be so worried about the world,” added Aisha.
So far, the students’ efforts at the Hub have saved their school more than $44,000 on their utility bills (水电费)！
1．What’s the school’s purpose in doing up the old building
A．To make the prize well known. B．To reward the best students.
C．To offer a practice platform. D．To attract more volunteers.
2．What do the words “the topic” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Severe climate change. B．The Zayed Hub project.
C．the Layed energy prize. D．Awareness of clean energy.
3．What has the Layed Huon Energy Hub brought Aisha Fisher
A．Pressure. B．Confidence.
C．Confusion. D．Satisfaction.
4．What does the students’ story tell us
A．He who laughs last laughs longest. B．Where there is a will there is a way.
C．Curious minds never feel contented. D．Thinking and action result in success.
【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了塔斯马尼亚一所中学利用奖金打造清洁能源学习中心，带动学生和社区关注气候变化并积极行动的故事。
1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The school used the $133,000 prize to do up an old building on their grounds, transforming it into a place, called the Layed Huon Energy Hub, where students can learn to apply clean, renewable energy sources to everyday life.(该校用13.3万美元的奖金翻新了校园里的一座旧建筑，将其改造成一个名为“Layed Huon能源中心”的地方，学生们可以在这里学习如何将清洁、可再生的能源应用于日常生活)”可知，学校翻新旧建筑的目的是为学生提供一个实践平台，让他们学习如何将清洁能源应用于日常生活。故选C。
2．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Recent climate change reports paint a frightful picture of the earth’s future, but a tiny school of just 400 students is determined to make a difference.(最近的气候变化报告描绘了一幅地球未来的可怕景象，但一所只有400名学生的小学校决心做出改变)”以及第四段中“Their teacher Nel Smit said the Hub has become an important place for students to gather, all while drawing attention to the topic many people choose to ignore.(他们的老师Nel Smit说，这个中心已经成为学生们聚集的重要场所，同时也引起了人们对许多人选择忽视的话题的关注)”可推知，人们普遍忽视的话题指的是气候变化，因为学校通过翻新旧建筑并建立能源中心来应对气候变化，同时引起人们对这个话题的关注。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘Being part of Zayed has definitely helped me feel like I’m doing something. I’m making a change, and that has reassured me not to be so worried about the world,’ added Aisha.(艾莎补充道：‘成为Zayed的一员确实让我觉得自己在做一些事情。我正在做出改变，这让我放心，不必那么担心这个世界。’)”可推知，Layed Huon能源中心给Aisha Fisher带来了信心，让她觉得自己在做一些有意义的事情，并且不再那么担心世界。故选B。
4．推理判断题。文章讲述学校通过改造旧建筑建立能源中心，学生不仅学习清洁能源知识，还通过实践（如用自行车发电）节省开支、提升环保意识，体现了“思考与行动结合带来成功”的主题。故选D。
