Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分)
A
(2025·辽宁七校名校协作体期中) Amy, a day old, was abandoned at a police station in Seoul. Her birth parents couldn't afford to give Amy the appropriate healthcare then. She spent her first three months in an orphanage before she was adopted. “I always thought, why should I be more thankful to my adoptive parents than the next person？” she says.
In 2011, Amy reconnected with her birth mother in the Republic of Korea, her adoptive mum by her side. “My mother from the Republic of Korea took my American mother's hands in hers and said with tears, ‘Thank you.’ After that, my whole world changed，” Amy says. At the time, she was working in the e commerce sector and struggling with anxiety, depression and an eating disorder. Reconnecting with her birth family, however, made her feel like the luckiest person in the world and she wanted to actively share her good fortune. That year, she quit her job and co founded the Global Gratitude Alliance, which partners with grassroots organizations to create community led solutions or social and economic change.
Since then, a reflexive sense of thankfulness has become Amy's frame of reference for work, relationships and daily life in general. She tried to rethink her world view, appreciate the little things and make connections with others. For Amy, the attitude shift helped her overcome health issues—she didn't need the drugs any more after she returned from the Republic of Korea.
Those positive effects inspired Amy to share the experience with others. Through a partnership with a home for orphaned children in Nepal, the Global Gratitude Alliance provided teachers with workshops that concluded with a ceremony of giving thanks. The participants used those techniques to help their students and community after the destructive earthquake of 2015.Children from the school recently visited a local seniors' home to build relationships with the residents there. “Gratitude creates a cycle of giving and receiving，” Amy says.

(2025·河北高三阶段调研检测二) Best friends forever. We 90's kids drew these words on our hands with markers and ink; most people I knew had at least one person they considered their BFF. Perhaps we imagined each other at weddings, meeting each other's kids, and going on vacations to Antarctica someday.
These simple understandings of friendship are naturally challenged as we grow. It does appear that the number of long-term friendships is decreasing. As opposed to the ideal of lifelong friendships, more and more friendships seem limited in time. Sometimes, it is as simple as lost contact. With more people working remotely and fewer “third spaces” existing in the community, we see each other less, which can lead to losing touch. That was the primary reason individuals tend to drift apart from their friendships in the past.
Another reason may be less tolerance for conflict. In decades past, it seemed that waxes__and__wanes in friendship were expected. Most of these were not the end of the friendship. Today, there seems to be much less tolerance. We are quicker to block each other out or label one another “toxic”， even when the friendship might be valuable to us.
Social media trends have certainly sent a message that cutting someone off when they aren't making you feel good is a positive thing to do. Yet is this always the case
There is a natural cycle in relationships involving connection, breaks, and repair. Relationship expert John Gottman has identified this reconnection as perhaps the most important part of the cycle because conflict is inevitable and can ultimately bring us closer. In friendships, we get close (connect) have times of conflict (break), and then work through that conflict through a reconnection (repair). Otherwise, the friendship ends—and more and more, it seems, friendships are ending before repair is given any possibility.
Continuing a friendship through conflict can also help us learn things about ourselves that can be difficult to face, and enhance our lives. When we repeatedly disconnect from people who tell us things we don't want to hear, we risk getting self-enclosed.
If you are looking to build capacities in repair, turn to essential skills that require practice.
5．What used to be the chief reason for people to distance themselves from friendships？(　　)
A．Geographical moves. B．Personality changes.
C．Less tolerance for conflict. D．Increasing financial gap.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“With more people working remotely and fewer ‘third spaces’ existing in the community, we see each other less, which can lead to losing touch. That was the primary reason individuals tend to drift apart from their friendships in the past.”可知，人们常常疏远友谊的主要原因是地域的迁移。故选A。
6．What does the underlined words “waxes and wanes” mean in Paragraph 3？(　　)
A．Rise and fall. B．Black and white.
C．Day and night. D．Give and take.
答案：A　
解析：词句猜测题。根据画线短语句中“In decades past, it seemed that... in friendship were expected.”以及第三段中“Most of these were not the end of the friendship. Today, there seems to be much less tolerance.”可知，此处为友谊的盛衰似乎是意料之中的。故可猜测画线短语waxes and wanes为“盛衰”的意思，结合选项A. Rise and fall“起起落落”意思一致。故选A。
7．What might social media trends encourage？(　　)
A．Building lifelong friendships.
B．Accepting conflict in friendships.
C．Reconnecting with old friends.
D．Cutting off unsupportive relations.
答案：D　
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“Social media trends have certainly sent a message that cutting someone off when they aren't making you feel good is a positive thing to do.”可知，社交媒体趋势会鼓励切断让你感觉不良好以及不支持的关系。故选D。

C
(2025·浙江绍兴高考科目诊断性考试) It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships.
Let's start by defining what cooperation actually means. Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit. During task-related communication, cooperation can be expressed in terms of proposing a fair distribution of resources or equal outcomes.
If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it's no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating. As a result, modern humans are hard-wired to find cooperation rewarding. Researchers have demonstrated that cooperating with others is associated with increased reward-related activity in the brain compared to engaging in non-cooperative exchanges, even when the physical rewards obtained from such exchange remain the same. Evidently, it is in our nature to want to cooperate, and this is why our relationships thrive when we do.
When we consider the needs of others and put the goals of the collective above the desire for selfish gain during decision making, we lay the groundwork for a strong trusting relationship to be built. But it's not just in our personal lives that cooperation allows us to thrive, the same goes for our professional lives. In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish. It is exactly this cooperative approach of “two heads are better than one” that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector.
9．Which statement best defines cooperation according to Paragraph 2？(　　)
A．Acting together for common interests.
B．Working individually for personal gains.
C．Building strong relationships within a team.
D．Associating with each other in an equal way.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although definitions vary, cooperation has been defined as working or acting together for mutual benefit. It requires two or more people to act in the best interest of their collective rather than acting for selfish benefit.”可知，关于合作的最好定义是为共同利益而共同行动。故选A。
10．Why does the author mention dangerous environments in human history？(　　)
A．To show the cooperative ability of our ancestors.
B．To explain the link between cooperation and reward.
C．To highlight the role of cooperation in human survival.
D．To illustrate the research of reward-related brain activity.
答案：C　
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“If we consider the dangerous environments that our ancestors grew up in, where around every corner was a potential predator (捕食者), it's no surprise that cooperation was encouraged. Having strong social relationships provided a helping hand when sick or injured, and helped gather food as well as warnings about what to avoid eating.”可知，作者提到人类历史上的危险环境是为了突出合作在人类生存中的作用。故选C。
11．How does cooperation contribute to success in professional settings？(　　)
A．It promotes innovations by sharing ideas and resources.
B．It creates profit opportunities for organizations.
C．It ensures fair competition among employees.
D．It enables individuals to satisfy their desire.
答案：A　
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In business, when we work collaboratively with others, be it at an individual level (between employees) or an industry level (between organizations), the shared resources and shared ideas enable innovation to flourish.”可知，在专业环境中合作通过分享想法和资源来促进创新以达到成功。故选A。
12．What is the main idea of the passage？(　　)
A．Cooperation leads to the boost of business.
B．Cooperation strengthens personal relationships.
C．Cooperation is a key driver of human development.
D．Cooperation is a vital factor for professional success.
答案：C　
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“It would be difficult to overemphasize the importance of cooperation, not only because it was fundamental to the success of our species through evolution, but because it is fundamental to the success of almost all modern social interactions and relationships.”和最后一段最后一句“It is exactly this cooperative approach of ‘two heads are better than one’ that is at the heart of project success throughout academia and the private sector.”可知，文章主要是讲合作是人类发展的重要动力。故选C。
