【易错点提醒四】段尾句易混易错点
03 易错题通关
易错陷阱1：段落标题类易混易错点。
【分析】应当首先观察其他段落标题的句式结构，如果有，则可迅速缩小选择范围。标题应当短小精悍，多为名词词组、动名词或祈使句。
易错陷阱2：段首句易混易错点。
【分析】首先应当采取形似原则，观察与其他段落首句是否出现相同结构，一般考查祈使句的相同结构居多。其次应当研读上一段的内容，尤其是上一段结尾的内容，结合本段内容，看选项是否符合逻辑上的紧密衔接。
易错陷阱3：段中句易混易错点。
【分析】如果设空在段中，则首先关注选项中的人称代词如，they, he, it等和空格后面的这些人称代词。同时注重，看前后是否存在例证关系、因果关系、转折关系、递进关系等。如果考查段落间的过渡句，则可以结合词汇复现原则看是否对上句有补充说明同时和后句有正确的逻辑关系。此类考题考生多数只看前句，不看后句。
易错陷阱4：段尾句易混易错点。
【分析】段尾句通常具有，应当注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信息词。有时，段尾句和段首句呈现出首尾呼应的现象，也是检查选项的一个重要参考。
【易错点提醒一】 标落标题易混易错点

易错分析：1.没有关注题型特点，标题短小精悍；2.没有根据后文内容进行有效翻译总结。
【答案】A
【解析】根据本段的首句“Whether it’s salted crisps or a bag of sweets, Olympians don’t cut out their guilty pleasures. (无论是咸薯片还是一袋糖果，奥运选手都不会放弃他们的罪恶感。)”可知，无论是吃咸薯片还是一包糖果，奥运选手都不会拒绝这些令人愉悦但可能不太健康的食物，所以本段要谈论与“对不健康食物的欲望”相关话题。所以A项“Give in to your desires now and then. (时不时地屈服于你的欲望)”能总结该段内容，符合题意。故选A。

【变式1】（24-25高三上·湖北·阶段练习）Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (甲板). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds. Time seems to pass more quickly as we age, and for good reason.
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. When you’re young, so many things seem new. And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. So how do we slow the passage of time

C．Immerse yourself in challenging activities.
D．When you’re young, so many things seem new.

F．As a result, when I look back, my sense of that time is compressed.
G．These actions make it feel as though you are extending your time a bit.
【答案】C
【解析】根据后文“Engage in hobbies or learning experiences that push you beyond your comfort zone. This focused engagement not only stimulates your mind but also makes your experiences more enriching. When you reflect on these activities later, the time you spent will seem more substantial and memorable.(从事能让你走出舒适区的兴趣爱好或学习经历。这种专注的参与不仅能刺激你的思维，还能让你的经历更加丰富。当你稍后回想起这些活动时，你花费的时间会显得更加充实和难忘。)”可知，本段主要是就如何延缓时间的流逝给出的第一条建议。去从事超出舒适区的爱好或学习活动可以刺激大脑，使经历更有意义和充实。首句是总结性语言，所以选项C“Immerse yourself in challenging activities.(让自己沉浸在具有挑战性的活动中。)”就是建议大家从事有挑战性的活动。challenging和push you beyond your comfort zone前后呼应。因此，选项C最符合。故选C。
【变式2】（2024·浙江嘉兴·一模）Boxing has been practiced for centuries— it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. More recently, boxing has become the mainstream in the UK. Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring.
Its physical benefits are clear. Whether it’s practicing with a punching (拳打) bag, training with a partner or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an intense form of exercise and give a full- body workout. It can improve muscular strength. And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness— allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively impact other aspects of physical well- being, like heart health and weight management.
Boxing can also positively impact someone’s mental well- being. Dr Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can relieve some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and depression. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of discipline and focus.
A．It can improve muscular strength.
B．But boxing is not just an individual activity.
C．So the interactive elements bring social benefits.
D．So boxing also strengthens a sense of community.
E．More recently, boxing has become the mainstream in the UK.
F．But the high physical demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body.
G．It promotes self- defense skills, helping build confidence to protect oneself.
【答案】F

Dr Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can relieve some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and depression. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of discipline and focus. (英国开放大学体育与健身高级讲师杰西卡·平奇贝克博士说，拳击可以缓解一些焦虑和抑郁的症状。众所周知，经常锻炼对心理健康有益，但拳击也能带来自律感和专注感。)”可知，本段主要讲述拳击对心理健康的好处，所以F项“But the high physical demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body. (但是这项运动对身体的高要求不仅仅对身体有好处。)”符合本段主题，和上文构成转折关系，并引出下文。故选F项。

【变式2】（24-25高三上·河北沧州·阶段练习）While doing a particularly boring task at work or home, have you ever stopped thinking about what you were doing, and started thinking about your last vacation or another event that made you happy Or do you sometimes daydream about meeting Taylor Swift or whoever is your favorite pop star instead of focusing on work Such examples of mind-wandering are quite common. Almost everyone at some point experiences that their thoughts drift (转移) away from the task at hand to something else.
One interesting question is how mind-wandering affects our emotions. Mind-wandering could make us feel bad. Thinking about the sandy beaches of Hawaii instead of a crucial work email surely is not positive for work performance. On the other hand, it could be argued that mind-wandering may make us feel better in some situations. For example, when Uncle Greg is telling the same annoying story for a twelfth time at a family reunion, thinking about your favorite food may not be the worst thing. In that case, mind-wandering may help regulate negative emotions and create positive emotions in an unpleasant situation.
A．Mind-wandering could make us feel bad.
B．More thinking occurs during mind-wandering.
C．So it prevents a larger conflict at the reunion.
D．However, two factors affected this relationship.
E．Mind-wandering can be personally embarrassing.
F．Such examples of mind-wandering are quite common.
G．It is a statistical integration of previously published studies.
【答案】C
【解析】根据上文“For example, when Uncle Greg is telling the same annoying story for a twelfth time at a family reunion, thinking about your favorite food may not be the worst thing. In that case, mind-wandering may help regulate negative emotions and create positive emotions in an unpleasant situation.(例如，当格雷格叔叔第十二次在家庭聚会上讲同一个烦人的故事时，想想你最喜欢的食物可能并不是最糟糕的事情。在这种情况下，走神可能有助于调节消极情绪，并在不愉快的情况下创造积极情绪)”提到，在不愉快的情境中（如家庭聚会中听重复的无聊故事）心不在焉可以起到积极作用的情景，即“所以它防止了聚会上更大的冲突”。与上文所述的通过心不在焉来调节负面情绪，创造积极情绪的情境相吻合。故C选项“这样可以防止团聚时发生更大的冲突”符合语境。故选C。

Stop comparing yourself to others. You are one-of-a-kind, so you’ re not going to be like everyone else. Plus, you’re only seeing a snapshot of other people’s lives, so any comparisons you make aren’t fair. Instead of using others as a measuring stick for success, use your past self.

C．Don’t let your inner critic dismiss their kind words.
D．Everyone copes with failure, even very successful people.

（24-25高三上·辽宁大连·期中）Our Unwelcome Guests
If you picnic in a Texas park, chances are that you'll encounter fire ants--a troublesome pest renowned for their painful and irritating stings. 1 Across the world, from the vast landscapes of Texas to the exotic shores in China, non-native animals, plants, bacteria and viruses are damaging economies and ecosystems.
An invasive species is any kind of living thing that is foreign to a particular ecosystem and causes harm. Sometimes non- native species are imported unintentionally, like in the 1930s when cargo ships from South America accidentally took fire ants to North America. 2 For instance, certain Asian fish species, originally imported from China to clean fish farms in the U.S., escaped and entered local rivers. Similarly, green iguanas were brought to China as pets, but some irresponsible owners released them into the wild. 3
The worldwide economic impact of introduced species is enormous. According to U.S. government estimates, invasive species cost the American economy over $120 billion annually. 4 Besides, invasive species have the potential to destroy their new habitats by upsetting the local ecosystems. They often lack natural predators (掠食者) in their new environment and out-compete native species for food and other resources. 5 In Florida, for instance, pythons have reduced some regional mammal populations by 90 percent. Additionally, Invasive species can also carry diseases against which local species have no natural defense, resulting in the extinction of an entire native species.
Alarmingly, the National Wildlife Federation in the U. S. warns that, “Unless people take serious action, the economic and environmental costs connected to invasive species will become astronomical.”
A．They may even prey on local species.
B．The same went with Burmese pythons (蟒) in Florida.
C．Other times non- native species are purposely brought in.
D．The economic impact of fire ants alone totals in the billions.
E．Millions of dollars were spent fighting introduced species in US.
F．In some way, the introduced species can be a double blade sword.
G．Like many others, this invasive species is also quite expensive and destructive.
【答案】1．G 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了入侵物种对生态系统和经济的影响。
1．根据上句“If you picnic in a Texas park, chances are that you'll encounter fire ants--a troublesome pest renowned for their painful and irritating stings.

（2024·江苏南通·一模）Do you have a song that you cannot stop thinking about You try to stop, but the song just continues in your mind. 1 This is a common problem and the problem has an unusual name. It is called an earworm.
2 Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms There are four possible reasons.
The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently. 3 Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm. Another reason is stress. It can bring past experiences into the mind and often people have strong connections between memories and music. 4 Triggers such as sights, sounds or smells are also major causes for earworms. These stimuli can cause an individual to start thinking about a particular song.
What can you do when you have an earworm playing over and over in your head Scientists do not have a cure for earworms. But people who experience earworms often have many suggested solutions. For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down. 5
A．Earworms are difficult to research.
B．It plays again, and again, and again.

3．根据前文“The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently.(第一个原因是仅仅听这首歌。一首歌可能会成为一个人的耳朵虫，只是因为他们最近听过这首歌)”以及后文“Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm.(有时一个人经常听到或演奏一首特定的歌曲。当这种情况发生时，这首歌更有可能成为耳朵虫)”可知，此处在讲述一首歌可能会成为一个人的耳朵虫的原因是因为经常听这一首特定的歌，所以D项“Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm.(重复播放也会让一首歌成为耳朵虫)”符合此处主题。故选D项。

（24-25高三上·山西大同·一模）There’s no shortage of tricks for improving mental health. But many of them are not yet well understood. Here are some of the tried-and-true things that you can turn to.
1
Surely it is not surprising that getting outside is first on this list. There’s strong evidence that it really can help reduce stress and improve mood. For example, researchers have found that looking at complex patterns found in flowers, mountains, ocean waves and other elements of nature can lead to more a-waves in your brain that are associated with relaxation. 2 . For instance, you can open a window to let in fresh air or use nature-inspired scents (气味).
Tidy up your space
Getting organized won’t help with serious depression. 3 . In addition, it can also enhance your productivity at the office and greatly improve the quality of your life if you can learn how to declutter and become organized.
Plan a trip
Taking a vacation is not a new idea when it comes to boosting your mental health. But what if you don’t have the means or the time 4 . Research shows that anticipating a trip can increase a person’s happiness.
Go for a bike ride
Of course, any kind of exercise is good for your mental health. But researchers say that bike riding is one of the best physical activities you can do to feel better. 5 .
A．Spend more time in nature
B．Put these tips into practice immediately
C．But it can make a difference for your mental health
D．Maybe it’s time to start planning a trip to one of the hot spots
E．Well, it turns out that even just planning a vacation can help a lot
F．If you’re unable to get outdoors, there are still helpful things you can do
G．Those who just cycle once a week report much higher levels of mental well-being
【答案】1．A 2．F 3．C 4．E 5．G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种经过验证的改善心理健康的方法，包括亲近自然、整理空间、计划旅行和骑自行车等。
1．下文“Surely it is not surprising that getting outside is first on this list. There’s strong evidence that it really can help reduce stress and improve mood.(毫无疑问，出门在外是这个列表中的第一项。有强有力的证据表明，它确实可以帮助减轻压力，改善情绪。)”说明本段所给建议为出门接触自然，这样可以帮助减轻压力，改善情绪。所以A项“多花时间在大自然中”适合作本段的主旨句，统领全段。故选A。
2．下文“For instance, you can open a window to let in fresh air or use nature-inspired scents (气味).(例如，你可以打开窗户让新鲜空气进来，或者使用一些源于自然的香味)”说明即使不能出门也可以做的与自然相关的事情。空处引出下文中的例子，说明不必出门也可接触大自然。所以F项“如果你不能到户外去，你仍然可以做一些有益的事情”符合语境。故选F。
3．上文“Getting organized won’t help with serious depression.(整理有序并不会对严重的抑郁有所帮助)”以及下文“In addition, it can also enhance your productivity at the office and greatly improve the quality of your life if you can learn how to declutter and become organized.(此外，如果你能学会整理和变得有条理，它还可以提高你在办公室的生产力，并极大地改善你的生活质量)”说明整理有序虽然不会对严重的抑郁症有帮助，但是却对心理健康有积极影响。空处承上启下，和前文形成转折关系，并引出下文。所以C项“但这会对你的心理健康产生影响”符合语境，该项中的C项中的it指代前文中的“Getting organized ”。故选C。
4．上文“Of course, any kind of exercise is good for your mental health. But researchers say that bike riding is one of the best physical activities you can do to feel better.(休假对于提升心理健康来说并不是一个新主意。但如果你没有条件或者时间呢？)”以及下文“Research shows that anticipating a trip can increase a person's happiness.(研究表明，预测旅行可以增加一个人的幸福感)”说明即使没有时间或手段也可以通过计划旅行来提升心理健康。空处承上启下，需要回答前文中的问题，并引出下文中的“计划旅行”的话题。E项中的“planning a trip”和下文中的“anticipating a trip”相呼应，所以E项“事实证明，即使只是计划一次假期也能有很大帮助”符合语境。故选E。
5．上文“But researchers say that bike riding is one of the best physical activities you can do to feel better.(但研究人员说，骑自行车是你可以做的最好的身体活动之一，可以让你感觉更好)”说明骑自行车对心理健康是有好处的。空处给出研究的结果，G项中的cycle和前文中的“bike riding”相呼应，说明“那些每周只骑一次自行车的人报告说，他们的心理健康水平要高得多”。故选G。
（24-25高三上·四川成都·开学考试）How to Boost Self Motivation
Motivation is what drives you to take positive action. 1 . The first is self-motivation, which comes from within ourselves. The second is motivation from external sources. How do we get motivated and more importantly, how do we stay motivated Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
Set goals. 2 . The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream — let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.
Avoid Loans. Having some money behind you before you set off on your quest for success is good. Do not, however, try to fund your life with loans and credit cards. Avoid them if you can. Worry over debt is another way of destroying self-motivation. If your dream is to set up a business, keep the business finances separate from your personal finances. Do not, for example, be tempted to use your house as security for any business loans you might be arranging. 3 .
Have self-belief. When you are faced with a failure, don’t just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other blocks. 4 . Trusting your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator. You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.
5 . You will already have drawn up your plan of action and the timetable for carrying it out. Keep this in mind at all times, and you will continue to be motivated. Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation. Review your progress from time to time to make sure that you are still on course for success.
A．Stick to the plan
B．Keep your motives in mind
C．Motivation comes in two types
D．Our dreams are usually a bit unclear
E．Believe in yourself and your abilities
F．This is another unavoidable cause of stress
G．It is important not to worry about losing motivation
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．F 4．E 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何激发自我动力，给出了几条实用的建议。
1．上文“Motivation is what drives you to take positive action.(动力是驱使你采取积极行动的力量)”引入动力的概念，下文“The first is self-motivation, which comes from within ourselves. The second is motivation from external sources.(第一个是自我激励，它来自于我们自己。第二是来自外部的动力)”介绍了动力的两种类型。C选项“Motivation comes in two types (动力有两种类型)”承上启下，引出了下文的两种动力类型的介绍。故选C。
2．根据段首小标题“Set goals.(设定目标)”可知，本段建议先设定目标。D选项“Our dreams are usually a bit unclear. (我们的梦想通常不太清晰)”中“dreams”与标题“goals”相照应，同时提出问题：我们的梦想，即目标通常不太清晰。下文“The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream — let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.(实现梦想的第一步是把它变成一系列的目标。一个长期的目标将是最终的梦想——比如说，建立一个新的企业。短期和中期目标将是通往最终目标的道路上的阶段)”给出解决方案，建议把梦想变成一系列的目标，上下文语意连贯。故选D。
3．根据前文“Avoid them if you can. Worry over debt is another way of destroying self-motivation.(如果能避免就尽量避免。担心债务是另一种破坏自我动力的方式)”可推知，债务会带来额外的压力和担忧，从而破坏自我动力。设空句上文“Do not, for example, be tempted to use your house as security for any business loans you might be arranging.(例如，不要试图用你的房子作为你可能安排的任何商业贷款的担保)”建议不要用房子去作担保贷款，结合前文可推知，这样做会带来额外的压力，会破坏自我动力，F选项“This is another unavoidable cause of stress. (这是另一个不可避免的压力来源)”承接上文，说明这样做可能导致的结果，上下文语意连贯。故选F。
4．根据段首小标题“Have self-belief.(要有自信)”可知，本段强调要自信。E选项“Believe in yourself and your abilities.(相信你自己和你的能力)”直接表达了自信的核心内容，与段落主题紧密相关。同时，该选项也与前文“Remember that you have already overcome other blocks.(记住，你已经克服了其他障碍)”和后文“Trusting your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator.(相信你的成功能力是一个极好的动力)”相呼应，共同强调了自我信念的重要性。故选E。
5．设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“You will already have drawn up your plan of action and the timetable for carrying it out. Keep this in mind at all times, and you will continue to be motivated. Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation. Review your progress from time to time to make sure that you are still on course for success.(你们应该已经拟定了行动计划和执行计划的时间表。时刻记住这一点，你就会一直有动力。你的计划本身就是自我激励的源泉。不时回顾你的进步，确保你仍然在成功的道路上)”可知，坚持计划也是保持动力的源泉。故A选项“Stick to the plan.(坚持计划)”是最佳小标题。故选A。
（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity, 1 . I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper.
2 . And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script. And indeed, in 2010, the Common Core standards stopped requiring the teaching of cursive (草书) in public schools.
But it appears the tide is turning, and the curlicued (花体的) linked letters — and block printing, too, my personal print of choice — will not go down without a fight. A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians. 3 . While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore.
A report in Psychology Today describes the importance to brain development of learning cursive, during the course of which “the brain develops functional specialization that integrates both sensation, movement control, and thinking”. Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers. You have to pay attention and think about what and how you are doing it. 4 . Brain imaging studies show that cursive activates areas of the brain that do not participate in keyboarding.”
5 . But some traditional skills are too lovely to lose, especially when they come with so many benefits that don’t require an office full of electronics to receive.
A．You have to practice
B．And it’s a good thing
C．Maybe I’m just old- fashioned
D．This actually calms that person down and retrains the brain
E．we run the risk of losing sight of what we think and write
F．I loved it when my daughters started learning cursive in school
G．my inner self longs for the simple pleasures of a 19th- century life
【答案】1．G 2．F 3．B 4．A 5．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了手写草书的现状和好处。
1．上文“While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity,(虽然我承认我喜欢现代的便利性)”以及下文“I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper.(我幻想着坐在那里给姐姐写信，书页上写满了文字，还有蘸着墨水的钢笔尖在纸上划过的声音)”说明虽然作者承认现代的便利性，但作者仍然渴望书写的快乐，G项“我内心渴望19世纪生活的简单快乐”与上文形成转折关系，并引出下文，符合题意。故选G。
2．下文“And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script.(我很惊讶地从其他学校的家长那里听说，他们的孩子没有学习草书)”说明作者对于其他孩子没有学习草书感到惊讶，F项“我喜欢女儿们在学校开始学习草书”说明作者对于自己女儿学习草书的态度，并与下文形成对比关系，符合题意。故选F。
3．上文“A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians.(许多州现在要求在学校教授草书，这是教育工作者、研究人员、家长和政治家鼓励的复兴)”说明现在的情况是许多州都要求学校教授草书，以及下文“While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore.(虽然打字和数字文件在防止纸张浪费方面发挥了巨大作用，但如果使用得当，手写的好处不容忽视)”说明手写具有不容忽略的好处，B项中it指代上文提及的情况，B项“这是一件好事”承接上文，说明学校教授草书是一件好书，下文解释原因，B项符合题意。故选B。
4．上文“Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers. You have to pay attention and think about what and how you are doing it.(脑成像显示了学习草书时大脑的参与程度：“要写出清晰的草书，需要对手指进行精细运动控制。你必须注意并思考你在做什么以及如何做)”说明要写出清晰的草书，需要控制手指并且注意和思考自己在做什么和应该如何做，A项“你必须练习”与上文句式一致，承接上文，说明要写出清晰的草书，你必须练习。故选A。
5．下文“But some traditional skills are too lovely to lose, especially when they come with so many benefits that don’t require an office full of electronics to receive.(但有些传统技能太可爱了，不能失去，尤其是当它们带来了如此多的好处，而不需要一个满是电子产品的办公室来接收时)”说明传统的技能可以带来很多好处，C项“也许我只是过时了”引出下文内容，与下文形成转折关系，符合题意。故选C。

【变式1】（24-25高三上·湖北·阶段练习）Our Eastern Shore house has a quarter-mile walkway over the water to a dock (甲板). The first time we walked it, there was so much to see, but yesterday, it felt like the walk to the dock took seconds. Time seems to pass more quickly as we age, and for good reason.
Research published in Scientific Reports suggests how you perceive the passage of time is related to the amount of new perceptual information you absorb. When you’re young, so many things seem new. And your brain has more to process. That makes the passage of time feel longer; as you age and encounter fewer new things, your brain processes less, and time seems to speed up. So how do we slow the passage of time

【变式2】（2024·浙江嘉兴·一模）Boxing has been practiced for centuries— it was even one of the sports in the original Olympic Games in ancient Greece. More recently, boxing has become the mainstream in the UK. Hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life participate in the sport every week. But why The answer lies in the physical, mental and even social benefits boxing can bring.
Its physical benefits are clear. Whether it’s practicing with a punching (拳打) bag, training with a partner or facing an opponent in the ring, boxing can be an intense form of exercise and give a full- body workout. It can improve muscular strength. And it can also increase anaerobic (无氧的) fitness— allowing someone to work out harder, for longer. These can, in turn, positively impact other aspects of physical well- being, like heart health and weight management.
Boxing can also positively impact someone’s mental well- being. Dr Jessica Pinchbeck, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Fitness at the Open University, says that boxing can relieve some of the symptoms (症状) of anxiety and depression. Exercising regularly is already widely known to be good for mental health, but boxing can also bring a sense of discipline and focus.
A．It can improve muscular strength.
B．But boxing is not just an individual activity.
C．So the interactive elements bring social benefits.
D．So boxing also strengthens a sense of community.
E．More recently, boxing has become the mainstream in the UK.
F．But the high physical demands of the sport aren’t just good for the body.
G．It promotes self- defense skills, helping build confidence to protect oneself.

【变式2】（24-25高三上·河北沧州·阶段练习）While doing a particularly boring task at work or home, have you ever stopped thinking about what you were doing, and started thinking about your last vacation or another event that made you happy Or do you sometimes daydream about meeting Taylor Swift or whoever is your favorite pop star instead of focusing on work Such examples of mind-wandering are quite common. Almost everyone at some point experiences that their thoughts drift (转移) away from the task at hand to something else.
One interesting question is how mind-wandering affects our emotions. Mind-wandering could make us feel bad. Thinking about the sandy beaches of Hawaii instead of a crucial work email surely is not positive for work performance. On the other hand, it could be argued that mind-wandering may make us feel better in some situations. For example, when Uncle Greg is telling the same annoying story for a twelfth time at a family reunion, thinking about your favorite food may not be the worst thing. In that case, mind-wandering may help regulate negative emotions and create positive emotions in an unpleasant situation.
A．Mind-wandering could make us feel bad.
B．More thinking occurs during mind-wandering.
C．So it prevents a larger conflict at the reunion.
D．However, two factors affected this relationship.

（24-25高三上·辽宁大连·期中）Our Unwelcome Guests
If you picnic in a Texas park, chances are that you'll encounter fire ants--a troublesome pest renowned for their painful and irritating stings. 1 Across the world, from the vast landscapes of Texas to the exotic shores in China, non-native animals, plants, bacteria and viruses are damaging economies and ecosystems.
An invasive species is any kind of living thing that is foreign to a particular ecosystem and causes harm. Sometimes non- native species are imported unintentionally, like in the 1930s when cargo ships from South America accidentally took fire ants to North America. 2 For instance, certain Asian fish species, originally imported from China to clean fish farms in the U.S., escaped and entered local rivers. Similarly, green iguanas were brought to China as pets, but some irresponsible owners released them into the wild. 3
The worldwide economic impact of introduced species is enormous. According to U.S. government estimates, invasive species cost the American economy over $120 billion annually. 4 Besides, invasive species have the potential to destroy their new habitats by upsetting the local ecosystems. They often lack natural predators (掠食者) in their new environment and out-compete native species for food and other resources. 5 In Florida, for instance, pythons have reduced some regional mammal populations by 90 percent. Additionally, Invasive species can also carry diseases against which local species have no natural defense, resulting in the extinction of an entire native species.
Alarmingly, the National Wildlife Federation in the U. S. warns that, “Unless people take serious action, the economic and environmental costs connected to invasive species will become astronomical.”
A．They may even prey on local species.
B．The same went with Burmese pythons (蟒) in Florida.
C．Other times non- native species are purposely brought in.
D．The economic impact of fire ants alone totals in the billions.
E．Millions of dollars were spent fighting introduced species in US.
F．In some way, the introduced species can be a double blade sword.
G．Like many others, this invasive species is also quite expensive and destructive.

2 Some people experience earworms almost every day. For other people, it only happens once in a while. So what makes people experience earworms There are four possible reasons.
The first reason is simply hearing the song. A song may become an earworm for an individual just because they have heard it recently. 3 Sometimes an individual hears or plays a particular song often. When this happens, the song is more likely to become an earworm. Another reason is stress. It can bring past experiences into the mind and often people have strong connections between memories and music. 4 Triggers such as sights, sounds or smells are also major causes for earworms. These stimuli can cause an individual to start thinking about a particular song.
What can you do when you have an earworm playing over and over in your head Scientists do not have a cure for earworms. But people who experience earworms often have many suggested solutions. For example, doing difficult math problems in your head can help you concentrate on the problems rather than earworms. Another method is to write the words of the song down backwards and then sing the words as written down. 5
A．Earworms are difficult to research.
B．It plays again, and again, and again.
C．Almost everyone has experienced an earworm.
D．Repeated exposure also makes a song an earworm.

（24-25高三上·山西大同·一模）There’s no shortage of tricks for improving mental health. But many of them are not yet well understood. Here are some of the tried-and-true things that you can turn to.
1
Surely it is not surprising that getting outside is first on this list. There’s strong evidence that it really can help reduce stress and improve mood. For example, researchers have found that looking at complex patterns found in flowers, mountains, ocean waves and other elements of nature can lead to more a-waves in your brain that are associated with relaxation. 2 . For instance, you can open a window to let in fresh air or use nature-inspired scents (气味).
Tidy up your space
Getting organized won’t help with serious depression. 3 . In addition, it can also enhance your productivity at the office and greatly improve the quality of your life if you can learn how to declutter and become organized.
Plan a trip
Taking a vacation is not a new idea when it comes to boosting your mental health. But what if you don’t have the means or the time 4 . Research shows that anticipating a trip can increase a person’s happiness.
Go for a bike ride

（24-25高三上·四川成都·开学考试）How to Boost Self Motivation
Motivation is what drives you to take positive action. 1 . The first is self-motivation, which comes from within ourselves. The second is motivation from external sources. How do we get motivated and more importantly, how do we stay motivated Here are some tips to help us stay motivated.
Set goals. 2 . The first step to achieving a dream is to turn it into a series of goals. A long-term goal will be the ultimate dream — let’s say, setting up a new business. Short-term and medium-term goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.
Avoid Loans. Having some money behind you before you set off on your quest for success is good. Do not, however, try to fund your life with loans and credit cards. Avoid them if you can. Worry over debt is another way of destroying self-motivation. If your dream is to set up a business, keep the business finances separate from your personal finances. Do not, for example, be tempted to use your house as security for any business loans you might be arranging. 3 .
Have self-belief. When you are faced with a failure, don’t just let it defeat you. Remember that you have already overcome other blocks. 4 . Trusting your capacity for success is a brilliant motivator. You know you can solve the problem facing you because you have done it before.
5 . You will already have drawn up your plan of action and the timetable for carrying it out. Keep this in mind at all times, and you will continue to be motivated. Your plan itself is a source of self-motivation. Review your progress from time to time to make sure that you are still on course for success.
A．Stick to the plan
B．Keep your motives in mind
C．Motivation comes in two types
D．Our dreams are usually a bit unclear
E．Believe in yourself and your abilities
F．This is another unavoidable cause of stress
G．It is important not to worry about losing motivation
（24-25高三上·河南·阶段练习）While I admit my love for the convenience of modernity, 1 . I daydream of sitting in the writing letters to a sister, pages filled with script and the sound of an ink- dipped metal nib (钢笔尖) scratching along the paper.
2 . And I was surprised to hear from parents at other schools that their children weren’t learning how to write in script. And indeed, in 2010, the Common Core standards stopped requiring the teaching of cursive (草书) in public schools.
But it appears the tide is turning, and the curlicued (花体的) linked letters — and block printing, too, my personal print of choice — will not go down without a fight. A number of states are now requiring the teaching of cursive in schools, a revival encouraged by educators, researchers, parents, and politicians. 3 . While typing and digital files have been great in preventing a tide of paper waste, when used properly, writing things by hand has the benefit that we should not ignore.
A report in Psychology Today describes the importance to brain development of learning cursive, during the course of which “the brain develops functional specialization that integrates both sensation, movement control, and thinking”. Brain imaging shows how engaged the brain is while learning cursive: “To write clear cursive, fine motor control is needed over the fingers. You have to pay attention and think about what and how you are doing it. 4 . Brain imaging studies show that cursive activates areas of the brain that do not participate in keyboarding.”
5 . But some traditional skills are too lovely to lose, especially when they come with so many benefits that don’t require an office full of electronics to receive.
A．You have to practice
B．And it’s a good thing
C．Maybe I’m just old- fashioned
D．This actually calms that person down and retrains the brain
E．we run the risk of losing sight of what we think and write
F．I loved it when my daughters started learning cursive in school
G．my inner self longs for the simple pleasures of a 19th- century life
