1.（2025·北京·高考真题）What is adulthood? Societies all over the world view the concept of an
adult as self-supporting and self-directed, because it identifies a point in the life cycle.
As Alice Black points out, today’s parents’ fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their
inability to feel competent and, thus, confident in themselves. Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this
in his book, The Life Cycle, mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery. 1
But Turner’s other cycles are just as important. 2 If these life cycles are delayed,
interrupted, or denied, you feel incapable of accessing your states of self, controlling unpleasant feelings,
and manipulating (操控) the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world.
Turner wisely said that “doing well” psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions,
manage them, communicate clearly and well with others, and master various skills. This requires an
internal locus (核心) of control, which implies self-control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions. 3
You’re self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are. And you know who you are
within all this.
So, being an adult isn’t just holding a job. Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while
being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions. 4 We are a social species,
so this is important.
While raising an adult is a parent’s job, it’s also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we
support schools that nurture (培养) emotional and identity development. 5
A．It’s also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles.
B．They talk about someone’s inability to support themselves through work.
C．It’s being able to show understanding when communicating with others.
D．In other words, you’re playing the game of life — life isn’t playing you.
E．They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity.
F．You feel like an 18-year old, especially when playing 80s music.
G．When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity.
2.（2025·全国一卷·高考真题）An Unsung Hero
Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning? The College Cafe has just
that, and more. 6
Catherine Murphy, a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat, makes sure that each customer gets
exactly what they order. She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. 7 As
the customer grabs the drink from her hand, she smiles and says, “Hello, how is your day?” Even when the
line is getting longer, she doesn’t let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
Murphy gets up at a quarter to five and drives thirty minutes every day to get to work on time. 8
“I do so because I like to make coffee for the students. I know they need it in the morning,” Murphy said.
Being a mother and wife has helped her become the woman she is. She believes she is here to serve.
One thing Murphy may not know is that her smile is contagious ( 有感染力) and can be the
difference in a student having a much better day than they were having before seeing her. Joanna Wright, a
senior political science major, loves coffee and goes to the cafe at least six days a week. 9
“Catherine always has a huge smile on her face, which always puts me in a cheerful mood,” Wright said.
“I enjoy working in the cafe,” Murphy said. 10 She has every intention of staying and
continuing doing what she loves.
A．The cafe closes at 9 pm every day.
B．She has two children aged eight and four.
C．Sometimes she arrives early to serve the students early.
D．After finishing an order, she calls out the name on the cup.
E．Not only does this cafe serve up drinks, it also serves up smiles.
F．Going to the cafe starts her day off good and gets her ready for class.
G．She has served here for 17 years and can’t imagine working anywhere else.
3.（2025·全国二卷·高考真题）Unexpected Benefits of Volunteering as a Family
Are you looking for a way to bring your family together? Hoping to find a hobby that can be shared
by both the little ones and adults? 11 You may know the “feel-good” emotions that come with
helping others, but there are even more unexpected ways volunteering will positively affect the whole
family.
●You’ll feel like you have more time.
People often feel they are too busy to volunteer. Yet, research has found that giving your time to
community causes actually makes you feel like you have more of it. 12
●You can live longer if you volunteer regularly.
13 Washington University found that adults 55 and older who volunteered had better
memory and maintained overall health longer than others their age. Volunteers are also more likely to look
after their own health and are more focused on adding physical activity into their lives.
● 14
Volunteering during teenage years has been linked to some major positive effects such as improved
grades and increased self-confidence. These effects aren’t just short-term but have been proved to affect a
teen’s well-being in the years to come.
●You’ll have more time with family.
Families who volunteer together have the unique experience of working toward a common goal.
15 Everyone brings something unique to the table and can connect with each other in a new way. And,
there are tasks for every age and ability, so all your children can feel proud of their work.
A．Helping the community lowers rates of depression.
B．Volunteering as a family may be just the thing you need.
C．Volunteering has a lifelong effect on kids and teenagers.
D．Volunteering can be the first step in breaking down prejudice.
E．For adults, volunteering can provide significant physical health benefits.
F．You may even learn that your kid has a talent you didn’t know about before.
G．Volunteering makes you feel capable and inspires you to make the most of each day.
4.（2024·北京·高考真题）If you want to develop maximum credibility (可信性), is it better to be
a hedgehog (刺猬) or a fox? According to Isaiah Berlin, the hedgehog knows one thing very well, and the
fox knows a lot of things.
Is there a clear advantage of one style over the other? Hedgehog thinkers tend to answer yes. 16
And they are usually very credible in doing so. According to Jim Hart, the “hedgehog concept” is one of
the factors that lead companies to greatness. They focus on one thing and do it really well. They figure out
what they are good at. 17 The hedgehog concept makes perfect sense for companies.
18 Philip Tate has studied the track records of those folks on the Sunday talk shows who
make predictions about what will happen. He has found that hedgehogs are not only wrong more often than
foxes, but that they are less likely to recognise or admit that they are wrong when events do not match their
predictions.
The advantage that foxes have is that they are more likely to seek out new information from a
broader range of sources, and are comfortable with uncertainty and new information. 19 They try
to include it in their viewpoint rather than to exclude it from their thinking. They also have a clearer
estimation of what they know and don’t know.
So, which is better? The question can be answered in a foxy hedgehog style. 20 The choice
between being a hedgehog or a fox is a false trade-off. The most effective way to go through life is to try to
be that rare mixture known as foxy hedgehog.
A．In other words, there are clear advantages for each.
B．They are more likely to remember people’s mistakes.
C．Hence, they have the advantage of clarity and confidence.
D．But there can be a downside to concentration on one big thing.
E．However, hedgehogs remain open to others’ reactions and inputs.
F．When something is contradictory to their view, they don’t treat it as exceptional.
G．They come down squarely on one side or the other and fully support their position.
5.（2024·新课标Ⅱ卷·高考真题）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local
economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and
destinations. 21 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s
world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and
improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so
many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only
when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 22
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else.
Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a
small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.
23 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● 24 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.
You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost
the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a
destination special in the first place. 25 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the
people there.
A．Visit during off-peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling?
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then?
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
二 创新基础练
Passage 1
We’ve been spending a lot of time indoors because of COVID-19, but could we make our homes
healthier?
Open your windows
1 Pollutants include mould, building materials and products you use around the home.
Fine particles can get into the lungs, bloodstream and organs. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to
asthma, COPD and even lung cancer. Keep your home ventilated as often and for as long as possible.
2
When you come in from the outside, you’re tramping all sorts of dirt into your inner sanctum.
Beyond the ubiquitous dog mess and chewing gum, your footwear can also carry unhealthy dust from
traffic fumes, oils and other harmful chemicals. Keep your slippers by the front door.
Get rid of carpets
They harbour germs and pollutants, from dust mites to pet dander to pesticides, catching anything
that’s floating in the air in your home — even when you’re particular about vacuum cleaning. The
materials used to make synthetic (人造的) carpets and the compounds they emit add to indoor pollution,
triggering or aggravating allergic reactions, respiratory and heart problems. 3
Beware of fat-pack furniture
MDF in shelving and modern furniture often contains formaldehyde, a volatile organic compound
(VOC) classed as a carcinogen (致癌物). 4 Whether cancer-causing or not, formaldehyde has
reportedly been linked with itchy eyes, sore throats, headaches and runny noses. To avoid your building
becoming sick because of MDF, opt for solid wood.
Cut out candles
Reduce indoor pollution by forgoing scented candles and air fresheners. These release chemicals
which turn into our old friend — formaldehyde — when they reach the air. 5
A．Take off your shoes
B．Consider wood flooring, linoleum or tiles.
C．Remove some useless furniture
D．Candles also give off soot, which, again, is not good for our lungs.
E．The air circulating indoors is up to five times more polluted than what’s wafting around outside.
F．Solid wood is available for every home.
G．It’s found in the resin that binds the wood dust and scrap together.
Passage 2
Learning to cook is strange. It’s a necessary life skill, not to mention a source of tremendous
pleasure for oneself and one’s family; but unless you learn while growing up, it can feel daunting to
acquire those skills. When it comes to cooking there’s a sense that people are left to teach themselves
unless, of course, they choose to stick with a lifetime of mediocre meals. 6 . If you want to
improve your cooking skills, this is what you should do.
Narrow It Down
7 . Don’t stretch yourself too thin or keep trying new recipes until you’ve become
comfortable with a few basics. You can also choose five to eight recipes and practice those repeatedly to
build a culinary repertoire.
Watch Videos Online
Internet is a wealth of visual knowledge that goes a long way toward improving cooking skills. My
husband loves watching videos about cooking and will recreate entire meals from what he sees. 8
.
Read the Whole Recipe
It’s crucial to read an entire recipe from start to finish before you start cooking. This eliminates any
potential surprises that could derail your success and provides you with a chance to review the ingredients
you have and what could be substituted. 9 .
Develop and Trust Your Senses
10 . Stick a fork or a toothpick into a cake to make sure it’s not doughy inside. Listen for
the crackle of a bread crust. Taste and smell food to see if it’s cooked to your liking, or if it needs longer.
Learn how to use all five of your senses to tell if food is ready.
A．Few things can ruin a recipe faster than feeling rushed
B．It also gives you a better sense of the “underlying mechanics of what is happening”, which improves
your overall cooking skills
C．Figure out what you like to eat and focus on learning how to make that well
D．Recommended cooking times are just estimates, so rely on your own tests to confirm if a dish is
finished
E．I use it when I need specialized knowledge, such as how to cut up a whole chicken into eight parts
F．The more you do it, the better you’ll get, so just keep cooking
G．So I compiled a list of thoughts and ideas on how to go about teaching oneself to cook
Passage 3
An ancient Chinese culture dating back to more than 5,000 years witnessed China’s early exchanges
with foreign countries, experts said. 11 It is at a recent symposium held in Linxia Hui
autonomous prefecture, Northwest China’s Gansu Province.
The Majiayao culture is in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and its tributaries. 12
Swedish archaeologist Johan Gunnar Anderson first investigated these cultural ruins in 1924. 13
“This culture spread to Central Asia via China’s Xinjiang, bringing millet from China to the west,”
said Han Jianye, a history professor from Renmin University of China. “Decorations with Central Asian
features also appeared on the painted pottery items in Majiayao, in addition to sheep and cattle from the
west,” Han added.
“ 14 Similarities are clear from the items from the two sites,” said Tang Huisheng, a
professor from Hebei Normal University.
Some experts pointed out that the Majiayao culture also shares similarities with the Cucuteni-
Tripolye culture at the western and the northern parts of the Black Sea regarding decorations and shapes of
painted pottery ware.
“The two cultures thrived and declined around the same time,” said Li Xinwei, a researcher from the
Institute of Archaeology under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. “ 15 ”
In recent years, efforts have been enhanced to protect the Majiayao culture by building thematic
museums, organizing academic symposiums, and conducting more research.
A．The Majiayao culture also had interactions with the Harappan culture of India.
B．People from the two cultures also used pottery to make human head statues.
C．In the 1940s, prominent Chinese archaeologist Xia Nai named the ruins the Majiayao culture, with
glamorous painted pottery as its most striking feature.
D．With more than 5,000 years of history, it forms a significant part of the origin of the Chinese
civilization.
E．Governments are trying best to preserve the site for its historical value.
F．A number of scholars expressed such views regarding the Majiayao culture.
G．In recent years, Majiayao culture has caught people’s attention.
Passage 4
Turning off just half the lights in a big building at night can result in up to 11 times fewer bird
collisions, a new study finds.
16 . But light pollution from buildings attracts and confuses many birds, causing them to fly
toward the light. Each year, as many as 1 billion birds are killed in the United States from collisions with
buildings and glass windows.
17 . On nights when fewer lights were on at McCormick Place because of construction work
or holidays, there were fewer dead birds on the ground the next morning. He began collecting data on light
patterns, as well as gathering the birds he found on the sidewalk. He quickly saw there was a link between
the number of lights and the number of collisions.
In the new study, researchers added more sophistication to that earlier work.
“Our study combined records collected by David Willard and other Field Museum scientists with
information on weather conditions and the number of migrating birds flying over Chicago each night,”
Benjamin Van Doren, a postdoctoral associate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the paper’s first
author, tells Treehugger.
The team used Doppler radar to measure the number of birds that were migrating over the city each
night. 18 . “The McCormick Center played a key role in this study because it’s a large building on
the lakefront with large windows with lots of light output,” says Van Doren. “ 19 ,” he says.
Many cities have joined Lights Out campaigns, which voluntarily urge property managers and
homeowners to turn off unnecessary external and internal lights at night to protect birds during the
migration season.
The National Audubon Society created the first Lights Out program in 1999 in Chicago. 20 ,
including Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D．C．
A．I am excited by the potential to apply our results to make a difference
B．But McCormick Place is only one example of a wider problem of light pollution
C．Now there are more than forty cities with Lights Out programs
D．Most birds migrate at night using light from the night sky
E．They also used information about weather conditions from a local airport
F．Few birds migrate at night using lights from the night sky
G．Years ago, Willard began noticing a pattern
Passage 5
Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author
of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. 21 The political climate was
also tense. The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine. 22 That was evident to his mother, who,
along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars.
“Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered. “And I could see that the stars would
draw him.”
Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student.
23 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school; he loved board games, and he and a few close
friends created new games of their own. During his teens, Hawking, along with several friends, constructed
a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
24 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school. And
yet he didn’t really have to do much more than that. In 1962, he graduated with honors in natural science
and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D．in cosmology.
25 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research. In 1973, he
published his first, highly-technical book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with G. F. R. Ellis.
A．Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn’t have much money.
B．With his sister Mary, Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
C．He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
D．But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
E．By his own account, Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.
F．In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
G．During his first year at St. Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.

1.【山东省青岛第二中学2025 年高三模拟试题】
When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see
them again for their affection and support. 1 In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a
fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent
relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband
or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. 2 It could be a partner love-bombing you
one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
3 At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our negative
relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah
asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent
connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young
University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to
give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. 4
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply
mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a
relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves
for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. 5 As importantly, be a little more mindful
of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for
accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A．We hope the good in such relationships outweighs the bad.
B．If someone is too negative, you might decide to cut contact.
C．It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need support.
D．This helps us focus on their positives while empathizing with the negatives.
E．In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
F．After all, social connection benefits come from feeling understood and supported.
G．A handful, however, arouse different emotions — a mixture of eagerness and dread.

Today, people live in a digital world where information is gained in small pieces, but nothing beats
the benefits of opening a book. From gaining knowledge from a self-help book to enjoying a fictional
fantasy world, reading books opens you up to a world of possibilities. But, when was the last time you read
a book? 6 . Here are four things you can do to get excited about reading books.
Find books that genuinely interest you.
It can be exciting to buy a popular novel or bestseller. But if the bestseller is a self-help book but
you only enjoy reading fiction. It’s probably not going to work out so well for you. Perhaps you’ll start it
and not finish it or not enjoy it. 7 .
Keep a book with you at all times.
You know how you look at your phone many times, not necessarily because you need it, but simply
because it’s there. 8 . Just keep a book with you at all times. That way you can pick it up and read it
wherever you are.
9
If reading is important to you and you want to make it a priority, you’d better have a set time for
reading. Perhaps you want to read right before going to sleep, or maybe you prefer reading during your
lunch break. Whatever the case may be, finding a set time to read will help you read more.

Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year. Sounds great, doesn’t
it? Actually, we all do get 1,440 a day — but in minutes, not dollars. 11 It’s possible to get more
money, but you can’t make more time.
Many of the money management practices can also be applied to your “time currency.” But the
question is, are you a good manager of your time? 12
Find out where your time is going now. 13 Include your work, study, cooking and meals,
cleaning and sleep, family time and mindless activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social
media.
Invest a few minutes every morning to plan and organize. Ten minutes of planning can save you an
hour of time, stretching the time you have. “Once people have a clear picture, they actually do have a lot
more time than they realize.” Clark, the founder of the Purposeful Planner says.
You can also set limits. Use kitchen timers, apps or other timing devices to stay focused and work
more productively.
14 When you have missions (任务), instead of making three separate trips on three
different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them. It’s more efficient to
finish “little one - off” tasks.
At the end of the day, take a look at how well you’ve managed your time. Booren compares this
progress check to reviewing your annual “financial statement.” 15 Do that over and over and “it
forms habit and becomes natural.” Booren says.
A．Write down everything you do in a day.
B．Try these simple steps to take control of your clock.
C．Time is one of the most limited resources for people.
D．Grouping small tasks into one proves helpful in daily produce.
E．Focus on what you’re doing and avoid repeating the same process.
F．The most important tasks are not necessarily the most pressing ones.
G．Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow.

Building a DIY herb garden is a rewarding endeavor that allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown
herbs right at your fingertips. Whether you’ re an experienced gardener or a beginner, a well- maintained
herb garden can enhance your cooking, add beauty to your space, and even provide a sense of relaxation.
16 By following these practical steps, you can create a thriving herb garden that will serve you well for
seasons to come.
17 The first crucial step is choosing the right location for your herb garden. Most herbs
thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, some herbs like mint
and parsley can tolerate partial shade. Consider the amount of sunlight your chosen spot receives
throughout the day. 18 If you live in an area with strong winds, find a sheltered location or use
windbreaks to protect your delicate herbs.
Select the herbs that suit your needs and growing conditions. Think about which herbs you use most
frequently in your cooking. Basil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano are popular choices for enhancing the
flavor of Italian dishes. 19 If you have limited space, opt for compact varieties or herbs that can be
grown in containers. Also, take into account your local climate. Some herbs are more cold- hardy, while
others prefer warmer temperatures.
Prepare the soil properly before planting. Herbs generally prefer well- drained soil that is rich in
organic matter. You can improve the soil quality by adding compost, aged manure, or peat moss. 20
This helps the roots of the herbs grow easily. Avoid using heavy, clay- like soil that can retain too much
water and cause the roots to rot.
With the right planning and care, your DIY herb garden will not only provide you with a bountiful
supply of fresh herbs but also become a delightful addition to your home.
A．However, it’s important to ensure good air circulation around the plants as well.
B．Lavender, on the other hand, is not only great for baking but also has a soothing aroma.
C．But achieving a successful herb garden requires careful planning and the right techniques.
D．Use a garden fork or tiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 8-10 inches.
E．Determine the size of your garden based on the available space and the number of herbs you want to
grow.
F．Also, consider the proximity to a water source, as regular watering is essential for herb growth.
G．Make sure to space the plants according to their mature size to prevent overcrowding.

In traditional Chinese culture, there is a saying —“All things have a beginning, but few can reach
the end.”
It comes from The Book of Songs, China's first anthology of poems which dates back more than
2,000 years. The expression was initially a criticism of King Zhouli from the Western Zhou Dynasty, a
notorious tyrant in Chinese history. He was criticized for constantly changing his orders. 21
Making a good start is not difficult, but it is the perseverance to the very end that is hard. 22 It
was often carved on plates or bottles by ancient Chinese people, to remind them to finish what they start.
From a wasteland to a sea of forests, the miraculous transformation of Saihanba, the world's largest
artificial plantation in north China's Hebei Province, has demonstrated such traditional Chinese philosophy
advocating perseverance. 23 Since its establishment, generations of workers have weathered tough
conditions there, creating and safeguarding the spectacular different shades of green on the former
wasteland.
In the first two years after the farm's establishment, more than 2,000 mu of trees were planted.
However, only less than 8 percent survived each year. 24 To ensure the survival of the trees, the
foresters started to explore scientific and technological breakthroughs and have developed their own
technologies on cultivating seedlings and taking care of them.
25 Thanks to consistent efforts over the past decades, the forest farm has been expanded to
1.15 million mu, becoming an important ecological shield for Beijing and adjacent regions.
In 2017, the Saihanba afforestation community won the United Nations Champions of the Earth
Award for its outstanding contribution to transforming degraded land into a lush green paradise.
A．The saying later became a motto.
B．The forest farm was founded in 1962.
C．That’s due to the severe climate.
D．Thus, this brought misery to the people.
E．He was attacked for his changeable behaviors.
F．Generations of foresters devoted themselves to it.
G．The remaining gradually grow into strong ones eventually.
