1. Learn and use the chunks like：
words: commute; outlook; upcoming; rehearsal; classify; quest; sponge; squeeze; finite; brainstorm
phrases: take up; lead to; stick to
sentence patterns:
Do some quick calculations, and it will occur to you that these essential activities take up an enormous part of your day, leaving only limited time to stay with family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development.
It means that you will be able to accomplish much more with less effort in shorter periods of time.
Importantly, effective time management will not only support your studies today, but also help you throughout your adult life.
There are many things you can do, but let me share with you what I consider to be the three most important skills.
Get into the habit of thinking about upcoming events and making a monthly, weekly or even daily to do list.
Whether it is a planner that you stick on the wall or a calendar app on your smartphone, finding an organizing tool that works well for you is essential.
Then, record all important events such as exams, projects and rehearsals, so that you know all the dates and deadlines and can prepare accordingly.
After you have all that needs to be done in mind, you can set about creating favourable conditions to actually get things done.
Being well organized includes making sure you have everything ready for tomorrow's lessons and after school activities.
This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished everything that needs to be done.
There is only a limited amount of time in a day, and even with good planning and organization, it is not always possible to complete everything that needs to be done.
In such circumstances, you will have to decide which tasks should be completed first.
While choosing which task needs to be done first can be a difficult decision to make, it is important not to let peer pressure or the quest for short term rewards influence you, but to focus on the goals you have set for yourself and stick to them.
Time is a finite resource, but with a little effort you can always find the time to do what needs to be done.
I hope you have found my talk interesting and useful and that you never again have to say “I don't have the time to do that”.
2. Learn to present a talk show about learning efficiency.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解。
Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles(塑料瓶) Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it's easy—you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.
Step Ⅴ：Homework.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn't need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don't reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2003, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn't a bin near you Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了瓶装水的好处，但也指出瓶装水使用了大量的塑料，塑料废弃后会对环境造成污染，建议人们更多地重复使用塑料瓶。

活动方案
1. Learn and use the chunks(语块) like：
words：punctual; overview; composite; reap; destiny; maxim; cable; strand; tremendous; transfix; superlative; eventful; imbed; procrastination; violate; cohesiveness; paradigm; spouse; forth; pseudo security; subordinate; proactive; visualize
phrases: break out of; search out; and so forth
sentence patterns:
“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny，” the maxim goes.
Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness … or ineffectiveness.
Superlatives such as“fantastic”and“incredible”were inadequate to describe those eventful days.
More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives.
The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go.
Unless I search out correct principles of human interaction, I may not even know I need to listen.
Even if I do know that in order to interact effectively with others I really need to listen to them, I may not have the skill.
The being/seeing change is an upward process—being changing seeing, which in turn changes being, and so forth, as we move in an upward spiral of growth.
By working on knowledge, skill, and desire, we can break through to new levels of personal and interpersonal effectiveness as we break with old paradigms that may have been a source of pseudo security for years.
Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually. 2. Write a short article according to the hints(提示), using the chunks that have been learnt.
Review the text of“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”by retelling it in your own words. You may begin like this：
The text is mainly about …， which …
From the text, we may learn that …
Step Ⅰ： Check and review.
【答案】The text is mainly about habits, which is an excerpt taken from Stephen Covey's bestselling book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与哥哥在性格和兴趣上的差异，以及作者如何通过冥想克服唱歌时的困难。
(　　) 1. A. writer B. performer C. painter D. leader
【解析】 句意：我是天生的表演者。writer作家；performer表演者；painter画家；leader领导者。根据下文“who preferred the theatrical, even when off stage”可知，“我”喜欢戏剧表演，且下文“I threw myself into the world of musicals”也证实了这一点。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　) 2. A. drop by B. get along C. come along D. go through
【解析】 句意：我们就是合不来。drop by顺道拜访；get along相处；come along出现，一起来；go through经历。上文提到兄弟俩“完全不同”，且“我把他的沉默当作冒犯”，因此两人关系不好，即“合不来，相处不好”。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　) 3. A. mind B. try C. enjoy D. delay
【解析】 句意：我不介意和哥哥关系紧张，因为我在学校很忙。mind介意；try尝试；enjoy享受；delay推迟。根据下文对投入音乐剧的描写可知，“我”因为有事可忙，所以不介意。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　) 4. A. In return B. In vain C. In particular D. In turn
【解析】 句意：特别是，我投身于音乐剧的世界。In return作为回报；In vain徒劳地；In particular尤其，特别；In turn反过来。本段描述“我”如何投入音乐剧世界。in particular在此处起强调作用，进一步说明不介意兄弟关系的原因。故选C。
【答案】 C
(　　) 5. A. responsible B. eager C. grateful D. competitive
【解析】 句意：我每天在卧室里练习唱歌，以保持最佳状态竞争角色。responsible负责的；eager渴望的；grateful感激的；competitive有竞争力的。上文提到“我每天在卧室练习唱歌以保持最佳状态”，目的是争取角色。因此，“我”对于获得角色是“有竞争力的、有企图心的”，D项最符合“争取角色”的语境。故选D。
【答案】 D
(　　) 6. A. without B. below C. near D. despite
【解析】 句意：他可能觉得，就算没有我吵闹的歌声，高中生活已经够难了。without没有；below在……之下；near在……附近；despite尽管。此处表示即使没有“我”的歌声，高中生活也已经够艰难了，暗含“我”的歌声可能使情况更糟。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　) 7. A. discussion B. issue C. agreement D. choice
【解析】 句意：因为共用一个房间，所以练习空间就成了我们之间的一个争端。discussion讨论；issue问题，争议；agreement协议；choice选择。哥哥冥想需要安静，而“我”练习唱歌会产生噪声，这自然成为两人之间的一个争端。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　) 8. A. promised B. expected C. struggled D. improved
【解析】 句意：这是我第一次为唱好一首歌而苦苦练习，因为当我换到头声时，破音了。promised承诺；expected期待；struggled挣扎，苦于；improved改进。根据下文“my voice cracked”可知，“我”唱得很吃力，struggle with“挣扎于”符合语境。故选C。
【答案】 C
(　　) 9. A. started B. postponed C. forgot D. continued
【解析】 句意：那阶段我很恼火，暂缓了练习，宣布我的歌唱职业生涯达到了天花板。started开始；postponed推迟，中断；forgot忘记；continued继续。postponed在此处有“推迟，暂缓”之意，最符合语境。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　)10. A. experienced B. anticipated C. accepted D. deserved
【解析】 句意：多年来第一次当我回到家时，哥哥体验到了宁静。experienced感受，体验；anticipated预料到，预期；accepted接受；deserved应得。根据上文“I was annoyed in that period … of my singing career.”可知，“我”回家不再唱歌，所以哥哥第一次体验到宁静。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　)11. A. eventually B. gracefully C. fiercely D. occasionally
【解析】 句意：我为自己不能优雅地驾驭这首歌而感到愤怒，于是就接受了。eventually最终；gracefully优雅地，从容地；fiercely猛烈地；occasionally偶尔。联系上文的唱破音可知，这里表示无法优雅地驾驭这首歌。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　)12. A. limit B. sentence C. philosophy D. goal
【解析】 句意：我明白了，并且这很快就成了我的新哲学。limit限制；sentence句子；philosophy哲学，信条；goal目标。哥哥的话让“我”领悟了一个道理，这个道理成了“我”新的“人生信条、处世哲学”。故选C。
【答案】 C
(　　)13. A. maintain B. possess C. reduce D. lose
【解析】 句意：尽管要换到头声，我依然能够保持演唱的力度。maintain保持；possess拥有；reduce减少；lose失去。根据上文“just in time for the trial performance, I was able to”可知，试演成功，所以应该是能保持力度。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　)14. A. wrong B. down C. back D. right
【解析】句意：你不必第一次就把所有事情都做得完美。wrong错误的；down沮丧的；back过去的；right正确的。get sth right 是固定搭配，意为“把某事做对”。故选D。

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing repeatedly, he'll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus a habit is formed.

If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.

Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
It is widely recognized that self discipline gives us freedom. Those who can control themselves have the ability to make the best use of their time, thus lost in the joy of freedom while other people suffer from “painful self discipline”， stuck in a difficult situation where they feel guilty for not being able to complete the missions on their never ending to do lists.
But do these pains come from self discipline Not exactly. The people who are anxious about being so called self disciplined masters are actually missing the point of this virtue. It's not a “the more the better” kind of thing. Rather, it's the capability to find a complicated balance between work and entertainment, which enables you to work more efficiently and to take control of your life. Thus, there's no need to push yourself too hard.
As a self disciplined student, I think I understand the key to easing the sometimes painful learning process with all kinds of after school activities. Self discipline urges me to set aside adequate time for all of my required schoolwork and to efficiently finish it. What's more, having a high learning efficiency means that if I am interested in a certain topic in my textbook or the knowledge of a specific field, I can spend more time exploring it in depth, while devoting myself to my own interests. However, each time the bell for the end of class rings, I'm always the first to grab the basketball and dash to the court to enjoy the thrill of a ball game with my friends until the sun sinks below the horizon.
As I said, the real freedom to enjoy a wonderful life is based on self discipline. And the final aim of self discipline is to enjoy a wonderful life. Being self disciplined is about doing the proper thing at the proper time. You have to push yourself under the guidance of self discipline to achieve high efficiency in your daily routine. But don't be too tough on yourself because unreasonable time management may drain you of the energy and passion you need to struggle on. Fit in adequate diversions from work within your carefully designed schedule, and I'm sure you can remove the obstacles that stand in your path to the ultimate freedom.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。作者批驳了将自律等同于“痛苦”和“越多越好”的误解，指出其本质是在工作与娱乐间寻找复杂平衡、从而掌控生活的能力。作者以自身为例，说明自律带来的高效率学习能让人有时间深入探索兴趣、享受生活，并最终点明自律的终极目标是享受美好人生，实现真正的自由。
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(　　) 1. How does the author develop Paragraph 1
A. By giving an example. B. By making a comparison.
C. By analyzing a reason. D. By presenting a result.
【解析】 写作手法题。第一段将“能自律的人”与“不能自律的人”的状态进行对比：前者“充分利用时间，沉浸于自由的喜悦”，后者“困在困境中，为无法完成任务而愧疚”。这种“自律者”与“不自律者”的境遇对比，清晰地体现了“通过比较”的论述方式。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　) 2. What can we know about self disciplined students in Paragraph 3
A. They have great trouble easing the painful learning process.
B. They can hardly spare time to finish their assignments.
C. They can pursue their hobbies with high learning efficiency.
D. They spend most time enjoying ball games with their friends.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，作者作为自律的学生，在高效完成课业后，“if I am interested … I can spend more time exploring it in depth, while devoting myself to my own interests”，并且放学后可以第一个冲出去和朋友打球。这说明自律的学生能凭借高效学习抽出更多时间追求爱好。A项“难以缓解学习痛苦”与作者“理解如何缓解痛苦”的表述相悖；B项“几乎没时间完成作业”与事实相反；D项“花大部分时间打球”过度解读，文中只描述了放学后的活动。故选C。
【答案】 C
(　　) 3. What does the underlined word “drain” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Exhaust. B. Increase. C. Provide. D. Preserve.
【解析】 词义猜测题。画线词drain的语境是“不合理的计划可能________你奋斗所需的精力和热情”。结合作者“不要对自己太苛刻”的建议，以及drain常与“能量”、“精力”搭配，可以推断此处意为“耗尽、使枯竭”。B(增加)、C(提供)、D(保存)均不符合“不合理的时间管理”会带来的负面后果。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　) 4. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Self discipline is the key to achieving high efficiency.
B. People should be strict with themselves to be self disciplined.
C. The pursuit of self discipline is a painful process.
D. Self discipline is about finding a balance and leading to real freedom.
【解析】 主旨大意题。全文核心论点是：自律的真谛并非苦行，而在于找到工作与娱乐的平衡(第二段)，从而实现高效工作并掌控生活，最终导向真正的自由和美好生活(首尾段)。D项“自律在于寻找平衡并通向真正自由”全面准确地概括了这一中心思想。故选D。
【答案】 D
二、 分析文章中下列句子的结构。
1. Those who can control themselves have the ability to make the best use of their time, thus lost in the joy of freedom while other people suffer from “painful self discipline”， stuck in a difficult situation where they feel guilty for not being able to complete the missions on their never ending to do lists.
【答案】 本句是并列复合句。其中，while连接两个形成对比关系的并列分句，描述了两种人的不同状态。前一个分句主干是Those have the ability；定语从句who can control themselves修饰主语Those，不定式短语to make the best use of their time做后置定语修饰 the ability；过去分词短语thus lost in the joy of freedom做结果状语。后一个分句主干是other people suffer from “painful self discipline”，过去分词短语stuck in a difficult situation做结果状语，定语从句where they feel guilty … 修饰 a difficult situation。
2. What's more, having a high learning efficiency means that if I am interested in a certain topic in my textbook or the knowledge of a specific field, I can spend more time exploring it in depth, while devoting myself to my own interests.
【答案】 本句是主从复合句。动名词短语having a high learning efficiency为本句主语，means为谓语，that引导宾语从句，其中包括if引导的条件状语从句和while引导的时间状语从句省略句(省略了I am)。
3. However, each time the bell for the end of class rings, I'm always the first to grab the basketball and dash to the court to enjoy the thrill of a ball game with my friends until the sun sinks below the horizon.
【答案】 本短句是主从复合句。句子主干是I'm always the first, each time引导时间状语从句，不定式短语to grab the basketball and dash to the court做定语修饰the first，不定式语to enjoy the thrill … 做目的状语，until引导时间状语从句。
三、 翻译文章中的下列句子。
1. Rather, it's the capability to find a complicated balance between work and entertainment, which enables you to work more efficiently and to take control of your life.
【答案】 相反，它(自律)是一种能在工作与娱乐之间找到复杂平衡的能力，这种能力能使你更高效地工作，并掌控自己的生活。
2. You have to push yourself under the guidance of self discipline to achieve high efficiency in your daily routine.
【答案】 你必须在自律的指引下鞭策自己，以在日常事务中实现高效率。
3. But don't be too tough on yourself because unreasonable time management may drain you of the energy and passion you need to struggle on.
【答案】 但不要对自己过于严苛，因为不合理的时间管理可能会耗尽你继续奋斗所需的精力和热情。
Ⅱ. 七选五。
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone experiences anger in their lives. Maybe you had a fight with your best friend; you didn't get that promotion you expected. __1__ However, it's important to find the right balance between having a bad mood or feeling angry and letting those negative feelings take control of you.
__2__ Anger creates tensions in relationships, especially familial or close relationships. Anger also causes your natural “fight or flight” response, which also causes other changes in the body. The health effects of poorly managed anger range from digestive issues to mental health challenges like anxiety and depression.
It's possible to overcome anger or a bad mood, but it takes a commitment to do it. Anger management is the process of learning to recognize when you're becoming angry and finding skills to express the emotion in a positive, constructive way. Therapists(治疗师) can help people explore the roots of their anger. __3__ They can also teach them better ways to communicate and ultimately, to manage, reduce and prevent harmful anger.
You can have control over your life or emotions by yourself. __4__ Here are some powerful ways you can overcome a bad mood or anger: acknowledge what you're feeling; step back and ask, “Why？”； practice assuming positive intention; exercise and smile; practice mindfulness; use visual reminders; call a friend; let it go symbolically; seek help if needed.
If you believe that you need anger management therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Anger therapy may take place individually with a therapist, or you may choose to take part in an anger management class. __5__
A. Anger can have severe consequences.
B. It just takes practice with effective ways.
C. They can train people in anger control techniques.
D. It's normal to have a bad mood or be upset sometimes.
E. Studies show men and women express anger differently.
F. Anger is often misunderstood as a purely negative emotion.
G. People can learn to unpack the anger with the anger therapy.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了愤怒的普遍性及其对健康、人际关系的危害，强调通过自我调节和专业治疗实现情绪管理。
1.【解析】 空前提及生活中引发愤怒的具体事例(与朋友吵架、未获晋升)，空后以However转折，提出“重要的是在情绪不佳与情绪失控间找到平衡”。D项“有时情绪不好或心烦很正常”完美总结了上文事例所体现的普遍状态，并自然引出下文“需要控制”的核心观点，起到承上启下的作用。故选D。
【答案】 D
2. 【解析】 本段详细阐述了愤怒对人际关系和身体健康(从消化问题到焦虑抑郁)的具体危害。A项“愤怒会带来严重后果”正是对本段内容的概括，是典型的段落主旨句。干扰项E“研究表明男女表达愤怒方式不同”虽与主题相关，但与本段具体讨论“后果”的内容无关。故选A。
【答案】 A
3. 【解析】 空前讲治疗师帮助探索愤怒根源，空后讲“他们还能教授更好的沟通方式”。C项“他们可以教人们掌握控制愤怒的技巧”恰好位于“探索根源”和“教沟通方式”之间，构成了“由深入浅、从认知到方法”的完整逻辑链条：探索根源→教授控制技巧→教沟通方式。干扰项B主语是It，与前后句的主语Therapists/They无法连贯。故选C。
【答案】 C
4. 【解析】 本段首句提出“你可以自己控制情绪”，空后以“Here are some powerful ways …”列举具体方法。B项“只需要练习有效方法”是极佳的过渡句，既承接了“可以自己控制”的观点，又用effective ways自然引出了下文的方法清单。其他选项均无法引出“方法列举”。故选B。
【答案】 B
5.【解析】 空处位于全文结尾，上文提到愤怒治疗的两种形式(个人或团体)。G项“人们可以通过愤怒疗法来排解愤怒”是对“参加治疗能带来什么”的概括性总结，作为结尾句非常合适。故选G。
【答案】 G

【答案】 A
B[2026淮北一模]
Early memories have the power to shape who you are. Unfortunately, in my life, many of my formative moments centered around my struggles with body image.
For most of my life, I have been highly conscious of others' perceptions of my appearance. Whenever I'm around someone I don't know well, I actively use body language to make myself appear thinner. When I was in fourth grade, I remember asking my best friend, “Do you think I'm fat？” She responded, “No, of course not.” But her response didn't comfort me. Since then, I have been vigilant of my body; I realized that the way I see myself isn't the same as how others see me.
Hearing people talk about weight gain as a negative has affected how I feel about myself. One friend used to tell me I'm on “the good side of plus size”. All it did was tell me that I'm overweight. In middle school, I felt like I had to prove to my friends that I was active and healthy. And even today, I worry over normal weight changes, all to try and avoid people sharing their “concerns” about my size.
Discussing body image is difficult. I have found that being allowed to speak openly without judgment builds my self confidence, because I feel that my voice is being heard. I am beginning to listen to my body and understand how it works. I hope to stop overanalyzing and build confidence—not through a number on the scale, but through self acceptance.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章回顾了作者成长过程中因身体形象而产生的焦虑，讲述了来自朋友看似“善意”的评论如何加深了她的自我怀疑，并最终领悟到建立自信的关键在于自我接纳，而非他人的眼光或体重秤上的数字。
(　　) 4. What does the author realize after talking to her best friend
A. Her friend truly understood her worries.
B. She needed to lose weight immediately.
C. Her self image differed from others' views.
D. Her appearance was objectively unattractive.
【解析】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“I realized that the way I see myself isn't the same as how others see me.”可知，与最好的朋友对话后，作者意识到她的自我认知与他人对她的看法并不相同。C项“她的自我形象与他人看法不同”准确复现了此意。故选C。
【答案】 C
(　　) 5. What does the underlined word “vigilant” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Slightly conscious. B. Extremely aware.
C. Completely confident. D. Comfortably familiar.
【解析】 词义猜测题。 画线词vigilant出现在作者描述自己对身体持续关注的语境中。根据画线词上文提到她非常在意他人对自己外表的看法，并会刻意调整仪态可知，在意识到自我与他人看法存在差异后，她对自己的身体状态变得更加“警觉、关注”。B项“极度意识到”最符合上下文逻辑，表示一种高度关注的状态。A项“略微意识到”程度过轻；C项“完全自信”和D项“舒适熟悉”均与作者长期焦虑、警惕的描述不符。故选B。
【答案】 B
(　　) 6. How did her friend's words “the good side of plus size” affect the author
A. It confirmed her fear of being overweight.
B. It provided comfort about her appearance.
C. It motivated her to exercise more regularly.
D. It helped her to understand body positivity.
【解析】 细节理解题。 根据第三段作者对朋友评价the good side of plus size的反应：“All it did was tell me that I'm overweight.”可知，这句所谓“安慰”的话(意为“在超大码身材中算好的那一侧”)实际上加深并证实了她对自己“超重”的恐惧。故选A。
【答案】 A
(　　) 7. What is the main message of the passage
A. Social approval determines personal worth.
B. Childhood experiences cannot be overcome.
C. Weight loss should be the primary health goal.
D. Self acceptance matters more than appearance.
【解析】 主旨大意题。文章结尾是解题关键。作者指出，坦诚的交流有助于建立自信，并希望“停止过度分析，建立自信——不是通过体重秤上的数字，而是通过自我接纳”。这明确点出了全文的核心信息：自我接纳远比外表本身更重要。D项“自我接纳比外表更重要”准确概括了这一主旨。A项“社会认可决定个人价值”与作者最终的领悟相悖；B项“童年经历无法克服”过于绝对且与作者正在做出的积极改变不符；C项“减肥应是首要健康目标”是作者在文中反思并试图摆脱的错误观念。故选D。
【答案】 D
Ⅲ. 语法填空。
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一名叫Hasson的11岁乌克兰男孩在斯洛伐克受到了英雄般的欢迎，他独自穿越了1 000公里的边境，逃离了与俄罗斯的战争。
was translated
who/that
safely
the
arrival
1. 【解析】 考查动名词。句意：一名叫Hasson的11岁乌克兰男孩在斯洛伐克受到了英雄般的欢迎，他独自穿越了1 000公里的边境，逃离了与俄罗斯的战争。after是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语。故填travelling。
2. 【解析】 考查反身代词。句意：他的母亲把他送到了安全的地方，她自己却不能离开。根据语境可知，空处意为“她自己”，用反身代词herself。故填herself。
3. 【解析】 考查过去分词。句意：斯洛伐克驻英国大使馆说：“这名男孩独自一人来到这里，随身带着一个塑料袋，一本护照和一串写在手上的电话号码。”分析句子结构可知，句中谓语是came，所以空处用非谓语动词，且number和write之间是被动关系。故填written。
4. 【解析】 考查介词。句意：官员们称赞他的“微笑、无畏和真正英雄的决心”。“his smile, fearlessness and determination of a real hero”是官员们称赞他的理由，因此空处用表示“因为”的介词for。故填for。
5. 【解析】 考查名词复数。句意：内政部长Roman Mikulec说，Hasson和他的兄弟姐妹请求临时保护，并发布了Hasson和其他孩子在一张桌子旁见面的照片，桌子上放着零食和苏打水。image是可数名词，前面没有冠词，因此空处用复数。故填images。
6. 【解析】 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：男孩的母亲Yulia Pisetskaya在一段由大使馆翻译、发布在Meta上的视频中说：“我非常感谢他们救了我孩子的命。” 视频是被翻译，且文章时态是一般过去时，因此空处是一般过去时的被动语态。主语that指代先行词a video，是单数。故填was translated。
7. 【解析】 考查定语从句。句意：她感谢了照顾她儿子并确保他安全越过边境的海关警卫和志愿者。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词“customs guards and volunteers”指人。故填who/that。
8. 【解析】 考查副词。句意见上题解析。空处用副词修饰动词crossed。故填safely。
9. 【解析】 考查冠词。句意：内政部表示，多亏了他手上的电话号码，他们才能够联系到Hassan的亲属，让他们在他到达后前来接他。此处number是第二次出现，因此空处用定冠词the，表特指。故填the。
10. 【解析】 考查名词。句意见上题解析。空处用名词作宾语。故填arrival。
Ⅳ. 自我拓展提升。

Write an article about how to build up self confidence.

How to Build Up Self confidence
Self confidence plays an important role in our life. We can do nothing well without self confidence. There are, I think, three steps to build up our self confidence.
First, we should believe ourselves. This is the basic part of building self confidence. We should tell us that even we can't do it very well, but at least we can make some changes.
Second, to encourage ourselves, we should choose the simple and ordinary things. Rome was not built in a day. Our self confidence was built by starting from the easy part. Then we should make progress step by step by dealing with problems which are much harder to be done well.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Third, we should go farther after finishing the simple and easy part. When we find that we can handle most problems easily, we should know it is a sign of moving forward. For example, if you can run 3 miles in an hour easily, then you should try to run 4 miles in an hour, and then 5 miles. Just keep moving. The better you do, the more confident you will be. Then one day you will find you have surpassed most people around you. And at this time you will find that your self confidence is built up already.

Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Many people would be unhappy to see young children sitting next to them on a flight, but a man called Todd took it as an opportunity to give a hand to a helpless mom. Jessica spoke about what Todd had done to make her travels with her children much easier.
She was in a panic when she boarded the plane. Her 4 month old Alexander was screaming due to a series of unexpected events. Her 3 year old Caroline, who had been excited before boarding the plane, lost her courage and began screaming too. As Jessica tried to calm them down and help them get settled in, the man sitting next to them stopped in to help.
He reached for the baby and held him while Jessica fastened Caroline's seat belt, got her iPad and started her movie. Once Caroline was settled and relatively calm, he also played games with her so that Jessica could feed Alexander. The kids were calm, but he didn't stop there. Throughout the flight, he engaged 3 year old Caroline's best friend.
Much to Jessica's joy, the man was taking the same connecting flight, too. He helped them get off the plane and led them to the next gate, holding Caroline's hand. As if that wasn't enough, he changed his seat on the next flight so he could sit in their row to help them. He told Jessica his wife had had a similar experience when their two boys were young and that a stranger had done the same thing, which moved him to spread the kindness.
The heart warming story serves as a reminder to show kindness towards panic parents with young babies. Children don't yet know how to handle their feelings so they cry and scream when they are confused or uncomfortable in a new place. By offering a helping hand, we could not only help an overwhelmed parent but also make a child feel a little more comfortable.

As university doors opened in September for a new year, an estimated six million people across the world took to the streets in a historic week of climate action. The power of this youth led campaign reflected the urgency for action on the environment. So what now 1 Here are some ideas about how you can be sustainable as a student.
What you put on your plate matters: nearly a quarter of all greenhouse gases come from agriculture, and most of those are from meat and dairy. Meat and dairy consumption results in excessive(过度的) land use, industrial emissions, methane, water use and deforestation. 2 A meat free diet has been recommended as the single biggest way an individual can reduce their effect on the planet.
Forget fast fashion: keeping your clothes for as long as possible has much more than just monetary value. In the UK, clothing has the fourth largest environmental effect after housing, transport and food. __3__
For some freshers, this will be your first time living alone, which means doing your own washing, cooking and cleaning. 4 Wash your clothes at a lower temperature, and choose a bamboo toothbrush or more eco friendly sanitary(卫生的) products. When shopping, see if there's a zero waste shop nearby, where all products are free from plastic packaging. Just turn up with your own container. If you're planning a weekend away with new friends, try to travel by train or bus.
5 But campaigning is important too. University campuses can be the perfect place for this. If you don't know where and how to start, see if there are any societies at your university like Student Climate Network. Students using fossil fuels in 76 universities have now committed to it.
A. So recycle your clothes or mend them.
B. Meat consumption delays industrial development.
C. And clothing has a bigger impact on environment than food.
D. Cutting out meat is an easy way to reduce your carbon footprint.
E. There are simple ways you can change your habits to live more sustainably.
F. Individual actions matter, as they provide an alternative to how we can live.
G. For freshers starting a new chapter at university, deciding how to live your life is vital.

Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
In the autumn of 1853 Thomas Butler Gunn got lost—temporarily rather than physically. On a visit to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and isolated from the outside world, his diary quickly divorced the time order of reality. Wednesdays are repeated and days go mislabelled. It took around a fortnight, and renewed contact with civilization, for Gunn to restore his weekly bearings.
Step Ⅴ： Homework.
The episode(经历), says David Henkin, suggests how fragile a sense of time can be—especially when it comes to weeks. Unlike months or years, these seven day groupings have no real basis in astronomy. People from Nigeria to China have lived well without them.
And yet the week has become the measure not only of routine, but even of wisdom. “Weekly rhythms have become so thoroughly absorbed into ordinary human experience，” Mr Henkin writes, “that forgetting what day it is constitutes a singular symptom and feeling of disorientation(迷失方向)．” His new book shows how the week came to rule the world.
But when newspapers, factory schedules and weekly paydays were all rarer, the weekly structure was less important. People got confused. As late as 1866, the Louisville Courier mentioned a man getting drunk on Friday because he thought it was Saturday.
As towns grew and society became more complicated, citizens “became differently and more intensely week oriented, in ways we can now recognize as modern”. When his local charity met on Wednesdays in 1859, and choral concerts were scheduled for Fridays, James Fiske of Massachusetts couldn't afford to mix up his days. Japan formally adopted the seven day system only in 1873; all the same, a character in a novel by Haruki Murakami is as sure of something “as I am sure that today is Wednesday”．
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了周概念的普及带来的优势，以及周概念的淡化引起的误解，并在字里行间表达了作者的观点。
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
(　　) 1. What is the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.　 B. To clarify a concept.
C. To record some experience.　 D. To make a prediction.
A
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The episode(经历), says David Henkin, suggests…these seven day groupings have no real basis in astronomy.”和第三段中“And yet the week has become the measure not only of routine, but even of wisdom.”可知，下文陈述了与“周”这个概念有关的内容。由此推知，第一段通过讲述一个故事导入本文的主题——周概念。故选A。
(　　) 2. Why can a sense of week be so fragile
A. Because it does rule the world.
B. Because it is tightly related to reality.
C. Because it is not used very often.
D. Because it is not based on astronomy.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike months or years, these seven day groupings have no real basis in astronomy.”可知，“周”的感觉很脆弱是因为这七天分组在天文学上没有真正的基础。故选D。
D
(　　) 3. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The influence of abusing the week.
B. The change of weekly rhythms.
C. The disadvantage of using the week less.
D. The importance of changing the weekly structure.
【解析】 段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，当报纸、工厂时间表和周薪都比较稀少时，周薪结构就不那么重要了。人们都感到很困惑。直到1866年，《路易斯维尔信使报》还提到一个人在星期五喝醉了，因为他以为那天是星期六。由此可知，本段主要讲述了“周”的使用变少导致人们变得困惑，即少使用“周”造成的不便。故选C。
C
(　　) 4. What is the author's attitude towards the use of the week
A. Positive.　 B. Intolerant.　
C. Negative.　 D. Unclear.
【解析】 观点态度题。根据第三段中“And yet the week has become the measure not only of routine, but even of wisdom.”，和第四段陈述少使用“周”造成的不便，以及最后一段中“As towns grew and society became more complicated, citizens ‘became differently and more intensely week oriented, in ways we can now recognize as modern’．”可推知，作者对“周”的使用持积极态度。故选A。
A
二、 分析文章中下列句子的表达形式(指出下列句子的结构，如果是简单句，划出基本成分)。
1. It took around a fortnight, and renewed contact with civilization, for Gunn to restore his weekly bearings.
【答案】 本句为简单句，句子为主谓宾结构。主语是“for Gunn to restore his weekly bearings”，It是形式主语，谓语是took，宾语是“around a fortnight, and renewed contact with civilization”。
2. “Weekly rhythms have become so thoroughly absorbed into ordinary human experience，” Mr Henkin writes, “that forgetting what day it is constitutes a singular symptom and feeling of disorientation.”
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主系表结构。that引导的“forgetting what day it is constitutes a singular symptom and feeling of disorientation”是结果状语从句，其中“forgetting what day it is”是动名词短语作主语。
3. As late as 1866, the Louisville Courier mentioned a man getting drunk on Friday because he thought it was Saturday.
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主谓宾结构。主句的主语是“the Louisville Courier ”，谓语是mentioned，宾语是a man, “getting drunk on Friday”是现在分词作定语，because引导原因状语从句。
三、 翻译文章中的下列句子。
1. The episode, says David Henkin, suggests how fragile a sense of time can be—especially when it comes to weeks.
【答案】 大卫·亨金说，这段经历表明，时间观念是多么脆弱——尤其是在“周”这个概念上。
2. As towns grew and society became more complicated, citizens “became differently and more intensely week oriented, in ways we can now recognize as modern”.
【答案】 随着城镇的发展，社会变得更加复杂，市民“以我们现在可以认识到的现代方式变得不同，变得更加注重周概念”。
3. When his local charity met on Wednesdays in 1859, and choral concerts were scheduled for Fridays, James Fiske of Massachusetts couldn't afford to mix up his days.
【答案】 1859年，当马萨诸塞州的詹姆斯·菲斯克所在的当地慈善协会在星期三开会，合唱音乐会定于星期五举行时，他再也承受不起把日子弄混了。

Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. 1 , goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals(both short term and long range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. 2 .
3 . They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. 4 . You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. 5 , they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
A. Like a contract with yourself
B. Instead of just letting life happen to you
C. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them
D. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go
E. My suggestion is that you shouldn't set goals just for the sake of it
F. I think there's nothing which can stop you from achieving your goals
