Passage 2 (2024 吉林长春三模)
主题:给陌生人写信 词数:324 难度:★★★☆☆
I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mailbox,because my mother
never believed in e-mail,or cellphones in general.I was literally waiting to get a letter to see
how the weekend had gone,which was usually the warmest comfort for me.
So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression,I did
the only thing I could think of—writing letters like my mother to strangers.I blogged about
those letters and crazily promised I would write a handwritten letter to whoever asked me to.

【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
Overnight,my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak—a single mother in Sacramento,a
girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas...all asking me to write them a letter and give them a
reason to wait by the mailbox.And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters
was born,fueled by those trips to the mailbox.But the thing about these letters is that most of
them have been written by people,who have grown up into a paperless world where some
best conversations happen swiftly on a screen.
I’ve been carrying this mail crate(大木箱) with me these days,which is a magical
icebreaker.So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized(受
精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan,and how she left love letters throughout the house as a
way to say,“Come back to me.” And the man,who had decided to take his life,tonight slept
safely with letters just beneath his pillow,handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be
needed,even in these days,because it is an art now,all of it:the signing,the scripting,and the
mailing.

Passage 3 (2024 江苏南京、盐城二模)
主题:接受焦虑 词数:341 难度:★★★★★
“Anxiety.” The very word invites discomfort.Its effects—shortness of breath,pounding
heart,muscle tension—are outright upsetting.But,as a clinician,I find that we tend to miss out
on many valuable opportunities presented by this human emotion.In and of itself,anxiety is
not deadly,nor is it a disease.Quite the contrary:it is an indicator of brain and sensory
health.Once we accept that it is a normal,though uncomfortable,part of life,we can use it to
help us.
We all know working out at the gym is hard.By nature,a “good workout” is
uncomfortable,since it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do.The
sweet spot of exercise is always a somewhat challenging experience.Similarly,if you want to
be emotionally stronger,you need to face some tension.For example,one effective treatment
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
for fear is exposure therapy(疗法),which involves gradually encountering things that make
one anxious,reducing fear over time.
Humans are social creatures.When my patients learn to open up to their partners about
their anxieties,they almost always report a greater sense of emotional closeness.Also,as
international relationship expert Sue Johnson teaches,when we express our need for
connection during challenging moments (e.g.,“I’m having a hard time right now and could
really use your support”),it creates greater connection and turns our anxiety into love.
From time to time,we find ourselves at the end of our rope.Our responsibilities pile
up,our resources break down,and we feel uncomfortably anxious—what we’re experiencing
is called stress.Simply put,the demands placed upon us outweigh our available resources,just
like a set of scales(天平) going out of balance.Focusing on work and pretending everything is
OK only leads to disastrous results.Medical treatment for stress may function for a while,but
it tends to make things worse in the long run.The only solution to deal with stress is to do the
mathematics to balance the scales.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了焦虑虽然令人不舒服,但接受它对我们有帮
助。
8.What does the author say about anxiety?
A.It is an invitation to diseases.
B.It indicates stable mental health.
C.It costs us many valuable chances.
D.It is a natural emotional expression.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Quite the contrary:it is an indicator of brain and
sensory health.Once we accept that it is a normal,though uncomfortable,part of life,we can
use it to help us.”可知,焦虑是一种正常的情感表露。
9.Why does the author mention “good workout” in paragraph 2?
A.To prove how exercise influences emotions.
B.To suggest an effective way to challenge limits.
C.To explain how anxiety builds emotional strength.
D.To show a positive connection between mind and body.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“By nature,a ‘good workout’ is uncomfortable,since
it involves pushing our physical strength past what we can easily do.”和“Similarly,if you
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
want to be emotionally stronger,you need to face some tension.”可知,好的锻炼需要挑战身
体的舒适区,同样,要想在情感上更坚强,有必要面对一些紧张,由此可推测出,提到“好的
锻炼”是为了说明焦虑是如何帮助增强情感力量的。
10.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The key to closeness is partners’ support.
B.Sharing anxieties improves relationships.
C.Humans are defined by their social nature.
D.Expressing feelings keeps us off anxieties.

答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Simply put,the demands placed upon us outweigh
our available resources,just like a set of scales going out of balance.”和“The only solution
to deal with stress is to do the mathematics to balance the scales.”可知,对我们的要求超过了
我们现有的资源,所以天平失去了平衡,而唯一的方法是通过数学来平衡天平,由此可推
测出,要增加可用的资源,以便达到平衡。
