Secondly, be helpful and friendly. When you get to 7. a new place, it's important for you to show concern for others. When they're in trouble, you'd better try to help them 8. out .
Thirdly, always keep in mind 9. that loose lips sink ships. When talking to others, do think carefully before speaking to avoid 10. saying (say) some words that will hurt others. If you say something that makes others 11. annoyed (annoy) by accident, you must apologise to them and ask them 12. to forgive you (原谅你) as soon as possible.
Lastly, try to stay calm no matter 13. what happens. When you get angry by something and want to 14. let off steam (发泄怒火), you'd better take a deep breath first. And then try to 15. resolve the problem (解决问题) in a 16. peaceful (peace) way. 17.

(2025·湖北智学联盟联考)
The history of the West is not what you learned in school.
The idea of civilization is relatively recent. The word was first used only in the mid 18th century and did not take hold of Western imaginations until the late 19th century. In that imperialist age, historians found that Greek and Roman civilization made nice building blocks that could be stacked into a grand looking construct, which they labeled “Western” Or “European” civilization. To this they attributed (归因) many inherited “classical” virtues: vigor, rationality, justice, democracy and courage to experiment and explore. Other civilizations, by contrast, were regarded as inferior.
Odds are strong that you first became aware of the term “Western Civilization” through an introductory survey course in college or AP history in high school. And you've lived your life since then believing that “the West” boasts “a common origin resulting in a shared history, a shared heritage, and a shared identity” grounded in the classical era of Greece and Rome.
Scholars almost always refer to “the West” when they make major statements about the future of the globe. Well, the fact is that there is no such thing as the West. One might protest: “the West” is “a Civilization”!
If “the West” can even be called a Civilization, then it is the least original “Civilization” in history. It is pretty widely acknowledged that virtually no basic technologies were, strictly speaking, invented in Europe or the United States. Metalwork, the plow, hydrocarbon fuels, higher mathematics, paper, wind powered sea navigation, the compass, powder, and steam engines all came from elsewhere. In terms of the crucial agricultural products that feed everyone in the modern world, too, none originated in Europe.
Some people think of Western culture and values as being characterized by democracy, liberalism, enlightenment, scientific progress and individualism. They see it as a birthright to be passed on from generation to generation through the ages. However, culture and values are options to be made actively, not “tracks laid down by a Western destiny”. Rather than being irritating and inward looking, most societies have proved receptive to ideas, fashions and technologies from their neighbors.
语篇导读:本文是一篇议论文。作者用层层推进的演绎推理论证了根本没有所谓的西方文明。
4.What can we learn about “Western Civilization”?
A.It dates back to the 19th century.
B.Most people are taught to believe in it.
C.It refers to most desirable “classical” virtues.
D.It took root in the classical era of Greece and Rome.

Promoting Body Positivity Movement
“Don't judge a book by its cover,” the popular saying goes.It reminds us that something's appearance shouldn't be the most important thing when we are determining its value. 1. Its message is that we should value ourselves for who we are, warts and all.So what can we do to promote body positivity
Not comparing your body to others, particularly celebrities, is a good first step. 2. Comparing only creates a standard we think we need to reach and leads to feelings of disappointment if we aren't up to scratch.
3. When someone says something nice, embrace it—don't push it away or play it down.And flatter others too.If you think someone looks nice, or someone has a good idea, tell them, which can lift them up.
Appreciate your body for what it can do—walking, yoga, playing sports or otherwise. 4. You can be an incredible man regardless of your shape or size.
And finally, don't forget that low self esteem and body confidence issues affect everyone.There aren't a lot of guys who are pushing the idea of body positivity.The only person who can truly affect your body positivity is you.Becoming comfortable with yourself is unlikely to be accomplished overnight—but don't give up and just move.Remember that everyone is insecure sometimes. 5. Love what you look like.
A.This is what the body positivity movement is all about.
B.Regular workouts bring you a strong and capable body.
C.Stopping judging ourselves against our imperfections is important.
D.Be unapologetic about who you are and what you want as a person.
E.Learn to express your admiration, which promotes positive mental health.
F.Being insecure in your daily life is common and sometimes necessary.
G.We are surrounded by these idealized images of what it is to be beautiful.

2.G 根据上文“Not comparing your body to others, particularly celebrities, is a good first step.”可知,此处表明不要拿自己的身体和别人比较,尤其是名人。G项(我们被这些理想化的美丽形象所包围。)中的these idealized images 指代上文中的celebrities,符合语境。故选G。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。武当山位于中国中部湖北省十堰市,以令人叹为观止的自然景观、大型古庙和武当武术而闻名。如今武当武术走出了国门,吸引了很多外国人。
解析:
1.and 考查连词。句意:武当山位于中国中部湖北省十堰市,以其美丽群山中的大型古庙和武当武术而闻名。both...and...表示“两者都……”。故填and。
2.starring 考查现在分词。句意:由中国动作明星成龙主演的电影《功夫梦》中的一些场景是在山中的著名景点,如金殿和南燕宫拍摄的。句子谓语动词是 were shot,star在此用作非谓语动词,意为“使……主演”,和句子主语the movie The Karate Kid之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词。故填starring。
3.an 考查冠词。句意:1992年12月,武当古建筑群因其宗教意义和建筑成就被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产名录。complex是单数名词,且第一次提及,而且ancient的读音以元音音素开头,所以用不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an。
4.as 考查介词。句意:同上。be listed as被列为……。故填as。
5.significance 考查名词。句意:同上。介词of后面应该用名词作宾语,且religious是形容词,在句中的作用也是修饰名词,故填significance。
6.highest 考查形容词。句意:联合国教科文组织网站称:“武当古建筑群代表了近千年来中国艺术和建筑的最高标准”。修饰名词standards应该用形容词作定语,再根据空前的the和空后的“over a period of nearly 1,000 years”判断用形容词最高级形式。故填highest。
7.especially 考查副词。句意:作为武当武术的发源地,武当山已经成为武当武术家,特别是来自中国和国外的太极拳练习者的热门场所。副词especially表示“尤其”,在句中作状语。故填especially。
8.were included 考查时态和语态。句意:早在2007年,武当山就与长城一起被列入欧洲人最想去的中国十大景点。根据时间状语As early as 2007可以判断用一般过去。主语the Wudang Mountains与include之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。又因主语是复数名词the Wudang Mountains,所以be动词用were。故填were included。
9.have been 考查时态。句意:近年来,武当与海外国家的交流日益频繁,为武当武术走出国门铺平了道路。根据时间状语in recent years判断该句子应该用现在完成时,主语是exchanges,助动词用have。故填have been。
10.to go 考查动词不定式。句意:同上。根据结构判断此处应该用不定式作定语,修饰名词way。故填to go。

1.活动的内容;
2.你的心得。
注意:写作词数应为80左右。
参考范文:
To inspire students to explore the endless world of knowledge through literature, our school's English newspaper recently held a remarkable reading and sharing event themed “Lifelong Learning”.
The event kicked off with a series of presentations by students who shared books that had profoundly influenced their perspectives on learning. In addition, teachers were invited to provide guidance on learning effectively and continuously. The highlight of the event was a guest lecture by a famous author who shared her personal journey of continuous learning and how it had shaped her career and life.
This event not only broadens my understanding of the importance of lifelong learning but also arouses a passion within me to seek knowledge in every aspect of life. Therefore, I am determined to keep reading to become a better version of myself.
