（2024·山西晋中·模拟预测）Whether it is the flu or any of the other cold-like viruses rising in winter, it seems that stuffy noses and sore throats are common symptoms. You may have noticed, however, that your cold seems to get better or worse depending on the time of day. Most commonly, you wake up with worse symptoms. Then, they partially clear up throughout the day, only to get worse once more as you get to bed. 1
Currently, the leading idea is that symptom severity is linked to our circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). The circadian rhythm is very important for daily cellular processes. 2 It also plays a critical role in controlling the heart and the immune system.
3 This is why sleep is so important after you’ve been to the gym. This also applies when you are ill—the body floods the blood with white blood cells called leukocytes, resulting in and immune response against diseases and the immune system fighting infection.
This, therefore, explains why our cold symptoms get worse as we settle down for a night’s sleep. Cells infected by viruses are attracted to the local area and killed, causing soreness in the affected tissues, and mucus (鼻涕) floods the nose to join the fight. 4 You wake up feeling like death due to the battle happening within.
There are other reasons why you might feel worse at night. The first is simply gravity. When you lie down, your mucus builds up in the nose, causing pressure and headaches. 5 Another factor is about hormones. Hormonal imbalances can be caused by lack of sleep at night and could influence immune function, leading to a cycle of sleepless night s and then feeling worse.
A．Why does this happen
B．Others are reporting the same thing.
C．As you stand up, you start to feel better.
D．It’s a good thing, but it really doesn’t feel like it.
E．Gravity helps out a lot more when you are upright.
F．While resting, the body uses the downtime to recover.
G．And it can be affected by the amount of sleep and light we get each day.

（2024·江西萍乡·二模）Your manager stops you and says she needs to have a word about your performance in the recent project. She begins by praising you for the good work you’ve done on the project, and you wonder if this is the praise that starts off the typical “feedback sandwich”. 6 Say something nice, say what you really want to say, say something nice again.
However, when feedback becomes such a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus decreasing its value. Instead, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative. 7 Below are three tips to help you make positive feedback count.
8 When positive and negative feedback always appear to go hand in hand, the positives can become devalued and ignored. Ensure there are times when positive feedback is given for its own sake and resist the temptation to offer constructive criticism.
Cultivate a “growth mindset”. Many of us tend to focus our praise on the end result and seeming inborn talents. For example, 9 However, research suggests that by focusing on the process of box things are done, we can encourage the development of new skills and the continued enhancement of talents.
Create a culture of offering positive feedback. Make giving positive feedback part of your team culture. Don’t just wait for special moments to give feedback. Offer informal positive feedback when making small talk. 10 Encourage peer feedback among team members and colleagues and actively ask them for positive comments on each other’s performances on tasks.
A．you have a real talent for organizing events.
B．You know how the feedback sandwich goes.
C．Attempt to inject some positivity into negative feedback.
D．you really put a lot of effort into making this event a success.
E．Don’t always follow positive feedback with negative feedback.
F．Feedback doesn’t have to only come from the higher ranks either.
G．It should also be delivered so as to reinforce and encourage good performance.

（2024·北京·一模）“Find your passion!” When discussing future career options or selecting a major in college, your parents often say this. The very expression is meant to inspire. But is it good advice
“Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us. 11
To study this, researchers use a framework of “fixed” and “growth” mindsets.They argue that encouraging people to “find” their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable. 12 In contrast, people who view interests and passions as developed have a growth mindset of interest.
Researchers have revealed that a fixed mindset of interest can decrease creativity. If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains. 13
Evidently, people can do a lot to embrace a growth mindset of interest. First, realize that your interests and passions aren’t pre-existing. Take an active role in developing your passions. Second, practise positive self-talk. When you lack interest in a new task, pay attention to your inner dialogue. 14 For example, change “I’m not interested in this” to “I’m not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement.”
15 But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result.
A．So can a growth mindset of interest be taught
B．Instead passions, like interests, are developed.
C．People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest.
D．Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion.
E．As such,seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential.
F．Don’t expect that pursuing new interests will always be easy or exciting.
G．Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning.

（2024·陕西咸阳·二模）In today’s world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing. 21 .
Use your laptop more than your desktop
Laptops use an average of 20 to 50 watts of electricity to run, whereas desktop computers use an average of 60 to 200 watts of electricity to run. The reason for this is that laptops run off of battery power and desktops are continuously plugged into a power source that drains energy.
22 . Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer.
Charge your phone in airplane mode and before bedtime
While charging, switch your phone to airplane mode, so that the phone does not slow down the charging process by continually burning energy trying to connect with cell phone towers and plot your location with its GPS function. When you switch to airplane mode your phone charges more quickly.
The brighter the screen setting, the more power it uses and vibration uses more energy than a ringtone. 23 , therefore less energy consumption. And remember-unplug your charger if not in use!
Unplug mobile phone and laptop chargers
Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use. 24 . When the power strip is left on, the devices plugged into it continue to use energy and actually increase your energy usage. The Northern Resources Defense Council found that devices in sleep or standby mode account for about one- quarter of all residential energy consumption.
25
Reduce your carbon footprint by organizing your files and eliminating unnecessary data from cloud storage! Companies offering cloud data storage need warehouses filled with servers running nonstop. These data centers consume massive amounts of energy since they require AC systems to avoid overheating.
A．Low Power Mode also saves battery life
B．Delete unwanted files from cloud storage
C．Saving energy is now easier with these tips from UNICEF
D．Therefore, energy conservation has never been more pressing
E．Unused electronic appliances may produce harm to the environment
F．Deenergization will save you energy, money, and can prevent electrical fires
G．Make sure to unplug your laptop from the power source once it’s fully charged

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了消极的反馈和积极的反馈之间的关系和影响。
6．根据上文“She begins by praising you for the good work you’ve done on the project, and you wonder if this is the praise that starts off the typical “feedback sandwich”.(她一开始就称赞你在项目中做得很好，你想知道这是不是典型的“反馈三明治”的开始)”以及后文“Say something nice, say what you really want to say, say something nice again.(说点好听的话，说你真正想说的话，再说点好听的话)”可知，后文具体解释了“反馈三明治”的过程，可知知道反馈三明治是怎么回事。故B选项“你知道反馈三明治是怎么回事”符合语境，故选B。
7．根据上文“However, when feedback becomes such a routine, employees can start to perceive positive feedback as simply a form of sugarcoating the negatives, thus decreasing its value. Instead, positive feedback should not simply be seen as something to cushion the negative.(然而，当反馈成为一种惯例时，员工会开始认为积极的反馈只是一种粉饰消极的形式，从而降低了消极反馈的价值。相反，积极的反馈不应该仅仅被看作是缓冲消极的东西)”可知，上文提到积极的反馈不应该仅仅被看作是缓冲消极的东西，本句承接上文说明积极反馈真正的作用。故G选项“它的实施也应该是为了加强和鼓励良好的表现”符合语境，故选G。
8．根据本段内容“When positive and negative feedback always appear to go hand in hand, the positives can become devalued and ignored. Ensure there are times when positive feedback is given for its own sake and resist the temptation to offer constructive criticism.(当积极和消极的反馈总是齐头并进时，积极的东西就会被贬低和忽视。确保有时候给予积极的反馈是为了反馈本身，并抵制提供建设性批评的诱惑)”可知，后文提到了积极和消极的反馈的缺点，建议提出建设性批评，说明不要总是太在乎积极的反馈和消极的反馈。故E选项“不要总是紧跟着积极的反馈和消极的反馈”符合语境，故选E。
9．根据上文“Cultivate a “growth mindset”. Many of us tend to focus our praise on the end result and seeming inborn talents.(培养“成长心态”。我们中的许多人倾向于把赞美集中在最终结果和似乎天生的才能上)”可知，本句主要是针对上文提到的“把赞美集中在最终结果和似乎天生的才能上”进行举例说明，A选项中talent对应上文talents。故A选项“你在组织活动方面很有天赋”符合语境，故选A。
10．根据后文“Encourage peer feedback among team members and colleagues and actively ask them for positive comments on each other’s performances on tasks.(鼓励团队成员和同事之间的同伴反馈，并积极要求他们对彼此在任务中的表现给予积极的评价)”可知，同伴也可以给予反馈，说明反馈不一定来自上级。故F选项“反馈也不一定只来自高层”符合语境，故选F。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章批判了“找到你的激情”这个观点，认为激情是培养出来的，要秉持兴趣成长型心态，这会帮助你保持开放和好奇，有助于培养激情。
11．根据上文““Finding” a passion implies that it already exists and is simply waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately, this idea is not what science tells us.(“找到”激情意味着它已经存在，只是在等待被发现。不幸的是，科学并没有告诉我们这个想法)”可知，科学表明“激情”并非存在某个地方，等待被发现；由此可知，激情是需要培养的。B项“Instead passions, like interests, are developed.(相反，激情和兴趣一样，是需要培养的)”符合题意。故选B。
12．根据上文“They argue that encouraging people to “find” their passion may cause them to eventually believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable.(他们认为，鼓励人们“找到”自己的激情可能会使他们最终相信兴趣和激情是天生的，相对来说是不可改变的)”推知，相信激情和兴趣是可以找到的人，大有可能认为激情和兴趣是不可改变的，即他们有一种固定的兴趣心态。C项“People who think this have a fixed mindset of interest.(这么想的人有一种固定的兴趣心态)”符合题意，this指代上文“believe that interests and passions are inborn and relatively unchangeable”。故选C。
13．根据上文“If people believe they are limited to only a few inborn interests and, in consequence, do not explore other areas, they may miss seeing important connections across domains.(如果人们认为他们只局限于一些天生的兴趣，因此不去探索其他领域，他们可能会错过跨领域的重要联系)”可知，如果人们认为他们只局限于一些天生的兴趣，他们可能会错过跨领域的重要联系；空处位于段末，应对上文进行总结。E项“As such, seeing interests as fixed limits their creative potential.(因此，将兴趣视为固定的限制了他们的创造潜力)”符合题意，creative potential呼应上文explore other area。故选E。
14．根据下文“For example, change “I’m not interested in this” to “I’m not interested in this yet, but I know that interest can develop with time and engagement.”(例如，将“我对这个不感兴趣”改为“我对这个还不感兴趣，但我知道兴趣会随着时间和投入而发展。”)”可知，当我们对某个东西不感兴趣时，要用积极的想法代替消极的想法。G项“Replace self-critical thoughts with positive ones that encourage growth and learning.(用鼓励成长和学习的积极想法取代自我批评的想法)”符合题意，下文是对选项的举例说明。故选G。
15．根据下文“But a growth mindset of interest will help you remain open and curious. The science tells us we should work toward loving what we do. We might become more creative and resilient as a result.(但兴趣的成长型心态会帮助你保持开放和好奇。科学告诉我们，我们应该努力去热爱我们所做的事情。因此，我们可能会变得更有创造力和耐力)”中的But可知，空处内容与下文为转折关系。D项“Of course, not every activity will become a burning passion.(当然，并不是每一项活动都会成为一种燃烧的激情)”符合语境，虽然并非每项活动都会成为激情，但保持兴趣成长型心态有助于让人们保持开放和好奇。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些节能的建议。
21．根据上文“In today’s world, where the consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident, the need for energy conservation has never been more pressing.(在当今世界，气候变化的后果日益明显，对节能的需求从未像现在这样迫切)”以及后文主要介绍了一些节能的建议。故C选项“有了联合国儿童基金会的这些建议，节能现在变得更容易了”符合语境，故选C。
22．根据后文“Not only does this help reduce your energy usage, but it also optimizes your laptop’s battery life to last longer.(这不仅有助于减少你的能源消耗，而且还能优化你的笔记本电脑的电池寿命，使其持续更长时间)”可知，本句主要在说明优化笔记本电池寿命的具体方法。故G选项“一旦笔记本电脑充满电，一定要拔掉电源”符合语境，故选G。
23．根据上文“The brighter the screen setting, the more power it uses and vibration uses more energy than a ringtone.(屏幕设置越亮，耗电量越大，震动比铃声消耗的能量更多)”以及后文“therefore less energy consumption(从而减少能源消耗)”可知，可知，本句主要说明可以减少能源消耗的做法，故A选项“低功耗模式还可以节省电池寿命”符合语境，故选A。
24．根据上文“Always unplug electronics and appliances when not in use.(不使用的电子产品和电器一定要拔掉插头)”可知，上文提到不使用的电子产品和电器一定要拔掉插头，即断电，本句承接上文说明这么做的好处。故F选项“断电可以节省你的能源、金钱，还可以防止电气火灾”符合语境，故选F。
25．根据本段内容“Reduce your carbon footprint by organizing your files and eliminating unnecessary data from cloud storage! Companies offering cloud data storage need warehouses filled with servers running nonstop. These data centers consume massive amounts of energy since they require AC systems to avoid overheating.(通过组织文件和消除云存储中不必要的数据来减少碳足迹！提供云数据存储的公司需要堆满不间断运行的服务器的仓库。这些数据中心消耗大量的能源，因为它们需要交流系统来避免过热)”可知，本段的建议主要关于云储存，B选项中cloud storage对应后文cloud data storage。故B选项“删除云存储中不需要的文件”符合语境，故选B。
