Passage 5
（24-25 学年高二下·福建三明五县·期中）
A Round Table
When I was still a little, my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner. While the grownups were discussing about something beyond our comprehension, we kids would be running around or even crowd under the table to play hide-and-seek. When I got a bit older, my aunt brought back her boyfriend, a tall and a shy man. My grandma joyfully added another seat to the round table. 21 When I was twelve, my grandma passed away because of cancer, but when the entire family reunite once again, her chair, her bowl and her chopsticks
remain the same even though her seat was empty. 22
We all have a table like this in our homes. 23 It is a symbol of a reunion of our families representing our sentiment, and an attachment to our families.
24 In China, almost everything can be solved over a round table, then that
marriage bells between a loving couple, the morning of the dead, the negotiations between
business partners and a state banquet to another president from other country can all happen on a same round table.
So I start to wonder what is this round table to us, what it has been doing to us and its true significance starts to unfold in front of me. The food on the table may change with time.
25 The reason why we come together may be various, but the sensation behind it
remains year after year the same, and that is our tolerance of different people or willingness to

Assessing your individual goals and any specific health concerns is an important step of
choosing the right diet for your health and lifestyle. You can reflect how they made you feel, both physically and mentally. Meanwhile, you should also take your present eating habits into account.
27
Starting a diet can be driven by a range of motivating factors. 28 You will,
however, probably picture weight loss as the driving one, because of the repeated marketing from the weight-loss industry. New diet foods are continually introduced, often promising quick and
easy results. But finding a diet that’s right for you is more than weight loss.

balanced diet ensures you get all essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Focus on whole foods: colorful vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats.

Sleep is our body’s repair mechanism (机制). It repairs cells and revitalizes the body’s
systems. Not to mention how much happier we feel when we’ve had a good sleep! To have a
better sleep, create a quiet sleeping environment. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep. You can also consider setting a sleep schedule. 34 .

Passage 3
（24-25 学年高二下·福建恒一集团·期中）
Skipping meals is bad news. For teens especially, eating all three meals, or smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day is healthiest. There are many reasons not to skip meals.
Stay energized
One of the primary reasons not to skip meals is that eating keeps you energized. You need to be awake for the note-taking and lecture-listening you plan on doing throughout the day.
36 .
Keep you focused
I think it’s pretty safe to say that when teens are hungry, they’re only thinking about one thing: food! I can remember dozens of days in class when a teacher was lecturing, and all I could do was stare at the wall imagining milkshakes and pizza because I skipped lunch. 37 . Instead, always fill up at breakfast and lunch so that you can focus in school throughout the
day. 38
Skipping meals affects your mood, too! You get angry easily when you’re hungry. If you want to be fun and have fun, make sure you’re eating plenty of nutritious, filling meals.
Start good habits
Eating well-balanced meals at regular intervals (间隔时间) throughout the day is a great
试卷第 8 页，共 19 页
habit to start in high school! If you skip breakfast and lunch, then pig out at dinner, you’re going to get accustomed to living that way. 39 . So do your body and future self a favor by
forcing yourself to eat healthy meals throughout the day.
It’s not dieting
40 . Diets that actually work balance healthy eating with exercise; they don’t
eliminate (消除) meals altogether. If you’re unhappy with the way your body looks, talk to your parents and doctor about a healthy meal and exercise plan that might help you reach your goals.
A ．Improve your mood

In the vast knowledge, the ability to remember what you read is vital to help you achieve
your goal. Here are a few tips for remembering what you read. 41

with what you can enjoy, and enjoy each bit. It’s quality over quantity.Make mental images

Passage 5
（24-25 学年高二下·福建泉州科技中学·期中）
Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most. Here are some tips.
Be honest with yourself
Behind every fancy purchase is a desire for status and recognition. You secretly want to be noticed for wearing a new watch or carrying a designer purse. 46 So before taking action
towards any endeavor, such as making an expensive purchase or pursuing a job promotion, ask yourself, “Who am I doing this for ”
47 However,if you are pursuing something with the hopes of attracting attention, then you need to say no to yourself.
Honor your limits
You can’t be everything for everyone. Trying to please everyone makes you vulnerable. 48 It is important that you are wise with your resources.
The importance of honoring your limits is highlighted by the Greek mythological story. The story is a reminder that pushing yourself too hard for too long ultimately comes at a cost.
Stop comparing yourself to others
People will engage in behaviors that trigger you. It might be tempting to enter an
undeclared competition with the Joneses. This approach does not work because there is always

someone out there who has more of what you desire.

When communicating with others, we often focus on what we should say. 51 Listening well means not just understanding the words or the information being communicated, but also understanding the emotions the speaker is trying to convey. The following are tips for becoming an active listener.
Focus fully on the speaker. You can’t listen in an active way if you’re constantly checking your phone. 52 You need to stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience in order to pick up the important nonverbal cues in a conversation. If you find it hard to concentrate on
some speakers, try repeating their words over in your head-it’ll reinforce their message and help

Avoid interrupting or trying to redirect the conversation to your concerns by saying
something like, “you think that’s bad, let me tell you what happened to me.” 54 You can’t concentrate on what someone’s saying if you’re forming what you’re going to say next. Often, the speaker can read your facial expressions and know that your mind’s elsewhere.
55 In order to communicate effectively with someone, you don’t have to like

judgement and hold back blame and criticism in order to fully understand them. The most difficult communication, when successfully performed, can often lead to an unlikely connection with

The shape of Australia’s school system is undergoing a significant change. Enrollments(入学人数) in independent schools are growing, while fewer students are going to public schools.
Why are more families choosing an independent school, when they could send their children to a free public option 66
One reason may be policy changes that allowed the establishment of new independent
schools in Australia. In the 1990s, the Howard government changed a policy to allow funding for
试卷第 14 页，共 19 页
the establishment of new schools, even in areas that already had adequate capacity in existing schools.
New independent schools tend to charge lower fees than established elite schools.
67 According to Independent Schools Australia, the largest growth in enrollments is in schools charging fees of around A$5,0 00 per year.
68 New South Wales Education Minister Prue Car has spoken about this issue for her own son, who attends an independent primary school: “We were in one of the suburbs where the government didn’t build a school.”
Compared to other countries, Australian schools have a high level of“socioeconomic
segregation(社会经济隔离)”. ____69 The increase in students going to fee-paying private schools means we are seeing increasing segregation in our school system.

Mind—wandering has been associated with creativity for centuries. A study found that
people who mind—wandered performed better on their task, the answer coming to them in a flash. 77 —it was just suddenly there.
When people’s minds wander in ways that seem meaningful to them, they tend to have
more creative ideas and feel more inspired at the end of the day, too. Interestingly, this is true for both writers and everyday people.
78
Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind—wandering can actually improve your mood. In this study, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were off—task, they
generally felt more negative. But if their thoughts were free—moving. It had the opposite effect, helping people feel happier.
79 . If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it.
Can we be better mind—wanderers
Researchers warn that mind—wandering when you need to be focused on a task could cause problems. So, let your mind wander when you’re doing tasks that don’t require focus. 80 .

Music is used across cultures and ages as a powerful mood regulator. 81 The
emotional power of music is one of the main reasons why people devote so much time, energy, and money to it. People use music to achieve various goals, such as feeling more energized,
keeping focused on tasks, and reducing boredom.
Music offers a resource for emotion regulation. For instance, sad music enables listeners to stay away from painful situations. 82 Further, lyrics that have a connection with the
listener’s personal experience can give voice to feelings or experiences that one might not be able to express oneself. Listening to soft and slow music, such as classical music, is better for
managing negative emotions compared to hard or heavy music.
83 Music is a powerful emotional stimulus(刺激物) that changes our relationship
with time. Time does indeed seem to fly when listening to pleasant music. Hearing pleasant music seems to keep attention away from time processing. Moreover, this attention-related shortening
effect appears to be greater in the case of calm music with a slow tempo (节奏). For example, music is used in waiting rooms to reduce the subjective length of time spent waiting or in
supermarkets to encourage people to stay for longer and buy more. 84
In sum, music can change our moods, emotions, and motivation. We can use music to express or challenge our moods. 85 For example, the protest song “Baraye” expresses Iranians’ (伊朗人的) painful complaints.
A ．Music can also show the mood on a national level.
B ．We regularly use music to comfort our souls and pain.
C ．Music are likely to affect a nation’s policies or decisions.
D ．This is because they focus instead on the beauty of the music.
E ．When listening to music, We are amazed at how quickly time passes by.
F ．Music shows that one’s understanding of the passage of time is subjective.
G ．Consumers spend more time in the grocery store when the background music is slow.
Passage 4
试卷第 18 页，共 19 页
So, what does it take to be great I thoroughly reject the “10 years, 10,000 hours” notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time. 86
Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. 87
Inborn ability is certainly a wonderful thing to have been given, but it is a bit overrated.
88 What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. The
world is full of gifted failures, of“can’t miss kids” who missed. Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning the race to be great. 89 You have to work hard. push your limits, and struggle mightily to get to the finish for anything in life worth pursuing greatness in.
Ultimately, being great isn’t about being objectively great because, as noted above, the
chances that you will achieve true greatness in some aspect of your life is, statistically, very small. 90 I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.
A ．Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.
B ．But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish
C ．Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.
D ．Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.
E ．You might think that personal greatness isn’t the same as true greatness.
F ．The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.
G ．They enjoy the struggles they experienced and the satisfaction of overcoming them.
