（24-25高三下·云南昆明·阶段练习）In interpersonal communication, we all clesire to be good friends
in the hearts of others. And being a good friend is an art that requires mastering certain skills. However,
sometimes we may turn into toxic (负面的) friends without even realizing it. 1 Here are several
valuable suggestions. With these strategies, we can not only maintain but also deepen the bonds or friendship.
Avoid assuming others understand.
Each of us is trapped in our own minds, and we overestimate how well others can read our emotional state.
It is a phenomenon that is sometimes known as the overestimate of transparency (透明度). 2 Thus, we
might give our friends the false impression that they are ignored or undervalued.
3
When someone is going through a hard time, they will often naturally seek understanding from others. A
sympathetic response means approving their feelings, which eases some of their stress. That we feel sympathy for
someone’s pain does not mean that we have to wholeheartedly agree with their interpretation of the situation,
however. The most effective emotional support often includes not only encouragement but also advice. 4
Celebrate each other’s successes.
Understanding others’ feelings is equally important in the sharing of positive emotions. Compassion, which
comes from the Latin for “shared pain”, is well accepted as the foundation of friendship. However, the importance
of “confelicity”, coming from the Latin for “shared happiness”, is much less well-known.
5 He or she should express their own joy and pride, and ask for more information to discuss the
follow-up measures to achieve lasting success.
A．Acknowledge others’ feelings.
B．Learn to share our feelings with friends.
C．Listening is what it takes to strengthen our friendship.
D．It may prevent us making an effort to communicate clearly.
E．It can help them to see the situation from a new perspective.F．A supportive friend should respond sincerely and constructively.
G．Identifying and overcoming this potential is of vital importance.
（2025·河南·二模）Your identity is who or what you are and what you do. Just as the things you do, such
as following popular fashion, create your identity, the things you read do too. Books, magazines or even websites
you frequently read or visit influence the way you think and what you believe in. 1 For example, if you
had read that littering kills the earth and contributes to pollution and that has convinced you, you will believe that
littering is bad. Therefore, you will not litter. This is the message you will spread to the people around you. This
will in turn cause the world around you to see you as someone who loves the earth and you will not litter no
matter where you go. 2
Research has shown that reading also affects the way you interacts with people around you. Reading fiction
makes you more empathetic (共情的) to the lives around you. This is because reading stories leads you to imagine
situations, and this makes you understand others better. 3 You become less self-centred and more
caring. People start seeing you as someone who is merciful, and that becomes part of your identity.
4 What is more important, though, is that you engage in intentional reading, paying close
attention to what you feed your mind. Read autobiographies or biographies of people who inspire you if you want
to be more like them. 5 If you want to be a songwriter, read more poetry! So, go on. Pick up a book
today and read. A new you awaits you.
A．You’d better select a book that is suitable for you.
B．This becomes part of your identity — an earth-lover.
C．The things you believe in, then, determine the things you do.
D．If you want to be a productive writer, read more fiction books.
E．This is because reading plays an important role in shaping your identity.
F．Therefore, it enables you to be more tolerant and accepting of differences.
G．It is important to read as it affects you to a large extent, creating your identity.
（2025·山西临汾·二模）Having trouble concentrating? Tired even after enough sleep?... They are
common signs that you need moments of solitude (独处). 1 : Now Let’s dig into why solitude boosts
your mental health.
It allows you to know yourself.
We observe social expectations and rules when we’re around others, even if we’re not consciously doingso. 2 The more alone time you give yourself, the more you become comfortable with your own
company. When fully focused on yourself, you can work toward being the person you want to be and what you
want to achieve.
You can recharge.
One of the main signs that you need alone time is being short-tempered. 3 It puts the nervous
system in a “low-arousal” state, which allows ‘us’ to feel calm and unbothered. Investing in yourself and doing
things you like will improve y our mood and lead your stress levels to go down.
4
When you spend time alone, you are more aware of what people around you bring to the table. Those who
regularly participate in solitude know what they can offer themselves. This helps them identify what they want
and need from other people. They can make better decisions about their boundaries and the health of their
relationships.
Kindly note: Solitude doesn’t mean that we don’t have to socialize and keep connected with others. Be it
friends or families; after all, all of them can offer emotional support during our tough times and motivate us to
become-better version of ourselves. 5
A．It is normal to enjoy being alone.
B．Your connections are more meaningful.
C．Solitude offers a chance to get refreshed.
D．Recharging helps drop all the burden we carry.
E．Solitude is spending time alone without feeling lonely.
F．Learning to enjoy solitude is what we are supposed to do.
G．Giving yourself time away from the pressure allows you to be yourself.
（2025·河南郑州·二模）Adversity Quotient (AQ, 逆境商数), which is also known as the “Adversity
Intelligence”, measures a person’s ability to handle setbacks and struggles in difficult situations. Unlike IQ or EQ,
AQ focuses on resilience-the power to recover from failures and adapt to adversity. 1 Psychologist Dr.
Paul Stoltz, who first proposed the concept in the 1990s, emphasized that AQ is crucial for personal and
professional success, especially when IQ and EQ levels are similar among individuals.
Why does AQ Matter? In today’s fast-paced world, challenges are unavoidable. High AQ individuals tend
to view difficulties as temporary and manageable. 2 In contrast, those with low AQ often feel stuck,
blame others, and find it hard to keep going. Studies suggest that 80% of long-term success relies on EQ and AQ,while IQ contributes only 20%.
Dr. Stoltz identified four components to evaluate AQ:
※ Control: 3 High AQ individuals actively seek ways to regain control, even in terrible
circumstances.
※ Ownership: The willingness to take responsibility for improving outcomes. 4
※ Reach: Limiting the impact of adversity. Resilient people prevent setbacks from spreading to unrelated
areas of life.
※ Endurance (持久力): Perceiving challenges as temporary. Optimism about the duration of difficulties
helps maintain motivation.
5 Schools and workplaces now give priority to “adversity training” to cultivate resilience.
Strategies include changing negative thoughts, setting small achievable goals, and learning from past failures. As
the saying goes, “Smooth seas never make a skilled sailor”-accepting challenges shapes a stronger character.
A．AQ alone can really determine success.
B．AQ can be developed through intentional practice.
C．The influence one believes one can have over a situation.
D．However, constantly analyzing failures may lead to anxiety.
E．They stay positive and prevent them hurting other parts of life.
F．A person with high AQ won’t easily give up in the face of hardship.
G．High AQ individuals are responsible for their actions and focus on solutions.
（2025·四川成都·二模）Whether things go right or wrong, feedback is always necessary. 1
However, providing effective feedback is not easy, as it typically requires several components. Now let’s examine
each of them.
Start on a positive note. Constructive criticism should always start on a positive note. It feels unfair and
rude if someone tells you everything you did wrong without acknowledging your achievements. So when giving
feedback, don’t just note the mistakes the receivers have made. 2
Be specific. Effective feedback needs to be specific. Inform the receivers precisely what aspects require
improvement so they can identify and address those areas. For example, don’t say, “Your presentation was
unclear. ” Instead, say something like, “The introduction of your presentation was a bit confusing. 3 ”
This way, the receiver knows exactly what to concentrate on and can make more targeted improvements.
4 The whole point of feedback is to help someone make changes for the better. So you shouldprovide ideas on how to improve. It’s crucial, however, to ensure that your ideas are actionable. For instance,
“You need to work on your communication skills” sounds too general. It would be much better if you say, “Try
practicing active listening and summarizing what others say to ensure you understand them fully. ”
Be timely. 5 It only works if it happens very close to an issue arising. For example, say you’re
with a coworker and notice something in the sales pitch he is working on. Instead of waiting for him to run into
problems, provide the feedback right away. This gives the receiver the chance to make changes and avoid
problems.
A．Offer practical advice.
B．Focus on making changes.
C．It helps us learn from our mistakes and grow.
D．It lacks a clear topic sentence at the beginning.
E．Feedback isn’t of much use if it comes too late.
F．The feedback acknowledges the hard work the person did.
G．Instead, begin by recognizing their effort and what they got right.
（24-25高三下·河南·阶段练习）Technostress, a term coined in the 1980s by clinical psychologist Craig
Brod, refers to the negative psychological link between people and the introduction of new technologies. Initially,
it described the stress experienced by those struggling with the rapid computerization of the workplace. 1
Several factors contribute to the rise of technostress in today’s digital landscape. Understanding these
causes is crucial for developing effective strategies to address this digital dilemma.
Constant connectivity: 2 This constant availability can lead to a feeling of being tied to our
devices, unable to truly disconnect and relax. Texting Anxiety: Understanding Why Messaging Stresses You Out

overwhelming. From news updates to social media feeds, we are facing a great deal of data that our brains
struggle to process efficiently. 3
Rapid technological changes: 4 New devices, software updates, and platforms emerge
constantly, requiring us to continually adapt and learn. This constant state of change can be stressful, particularly
for those who feel less tech-proficient.
Recognizing the signs of technostress in our daily lives is crucial for addressing the issue before it becomes
overwhelming. The call to action is clear: take control of your technology use, set healthy boundaries, andprioritize your well-being in the digital world. Remember, technology should be a tool that enhances our lives.

（2025·云南·模拟预测）Feeling sad and empty now that a special event has past? Try the following four
tips to move forward.
Embrace Your Emotions
Find a private space and allow emotions to surface. If tears of joy, sadness or frustration arise, express
them. 1 It may sound dramatic, but it’s a valid feeling and it’s perfectly fine to experience sorrow when
something important has ended. Remember that the intensity will pass and will do so more smoothly when the
built-up emotions have been released.
2 Whether pushing yourself to the limits in a physical challenge or spending months ensuring an
event’s success, it’s important to take time afterwards to rest your mind and body. Relax, eat nutritiously, enjoy
some gentle exercise, and go to bed early for revitalizing sleep. 3
Make Time for Reflection
4 How did it go? What did you learn? Would you do something differently next time? This period
of reflection, without dwelling too long on the matter of being self-critical, can provide valuable insights.
Appreciate what you did and recognize all the good that came from the experience. View the event as simply the
end of one chapter and the beginning of the next.
Acknowledge the Negative
If aspects of the event didn’t go as well as planned, put it down to experience. Consider if there’s anything
to be learned from it, but don’t keep going over what happened. Surrender to the thoughts and then let them go.

（2025·四川攀枝花·二模）Reading enriches our lives and transforms us into individuals with good
personal qualities. The more you read, the more you become civilized. Here are a few things I learned from
reading books.
● You learn how to listen.
When you read, you focus on the book to understand whatever it is about. The amazing thing about it is that
your opinion is not wanted. You learn to receive information without the need to say something. If you disagree in
any way, you learn to silently digest the words you read, thinking why the author wrote that. 1
● You develop empathy (同理心).
If you listen with the purpose of understanding the other person, you learn to empathize. You try and
analyze why a thing is said. Giving your unshakable attention to the book allows you to focus on only receiving
the information. With that complete attention, you understand the story better. 2 You connect to the
characters and feel for them.

They say that you are what you eat. 4 You’ll only take interest in books close to your heart. By
judging the titles you have read, the better you understand your thinking process and eventually, you find who you
are as a human being.
● You feel you are understood.
Whether in faith, relationships, or life, we have our personal opinions. But there are some ideas that are too
risky to discuss with others. 5 Now you can say that you are not crazy for considering unusual ideas.
So, pick up a book and start your journey of self-discovery through reading.

living your own life because you’re trying to live someone else’s.

重难语篇拔高练
（2025·陕西咸阳·二模）From new semi-private pet airplanes to road trips, this is everything pet parents
should consider before hitting the road.
Cats and dogs are not just pets. 1 So, not surprisingly, more pet parents want to bring their furry
friends along when they travel. If you’re not sure whether to bring your pet along while traveling, these animaland travel experts offer some helpful guidance.
Put your pet’s well-being first.
Though you may be excited at the scene of bringing your doggy or kitty along for the journey, your pet may
not feel the same way. 2 This is especially true for senior pets or those with existing medical issues. You
know your pet best, but it’s always a good idea to get in touch with your vet, says Lilian Wong, a veterinarian and
clinical skills instructor at Oregon State University’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine.
3
If you’ve decided to bring your pet along, the next decision is how to reach your desired destination. If
possible, Wong recommends road-tripping. “You can take as many breaks as you and your pet need,” she says.
“You can drive to a nearby vet hospital if there is a medical emergency. When you are traveling on a plane, you
don’t have that flexibility.” Driving isn’t always possible or practical, so you might look into flying. In addition,
most airlines can only accommodate a handful of pets per flight. 4
Prepare Mentally.
A common phrase that travel professionals often say is “ 5 " This saying is especially true when
traveling with pets, which are living, breathing and naughty creatures with minds of their own. Go into the trip
with a mindset that at least one thing will go wrong, always take it easy and stay calm. What is necessary is to
have a backup plan. Set your expectations appropriately so you don’t become frustrated or disappointed and do
more research than you think is necessary.
A．Pack your patience.
B．Plan a pet-friendly journey.
C．Consider the mode of travel.
D．Travel could be harmful to their health.
E．So book early and call to ensure there’s a spot for your pet.
F．These lovable, four-legged creatures have become our closest companions.
G．Some animals have an adventurous spirit and love to travel while others don’t.
（2025·陕西安康·模拟预测）We all have down days, but a long-term lack of motivation can impact your
mental health. Break out of the blahs (沮丧) with these four tips to help you get motivated.
Find your why to stay motivated. It’s easier to stay motivated when you know why you’re doing something.
Ask yourself what your reason is for wanting to accomplish this goal. 1 Whatever it is, connecting with
your “why gives you a deeper sense of purpose and helps you stay focused when things get tough.2 If you’re working in a dark or noisy space, it can be hard to focus and get things done.
Sometimes, a change of scenery is all you need to spark (触发) some motivation. Even small changes can help
you feel more energized. The people you surround yourself with can also have a big impact on your motivation. If
you’re feeling low, talking to someone who supports and encourages you can help lift your spirits. 3
Break down large goals to stay motivated. A big project or goal can feel depressing. If you look at
everything you need to do and think, “Where do I even start?”, that’s usually when motivation disappears. 4
The trick is to break things down into smaller and more manageable pieces. Instead of focusing on the entire
project, take one small step at a time.
Focus on progress, not perfection. One of the biggest motivation killers is the pressure to be perfect. When
you expect everything to go just right, it’s easy to get discouraged if they don’t go as planned. Instead of aiming
for perfection, focus on making progress. 5 Remember that everyone makes mistakes or faces setbacks.
What matters is progress. So don’t be too hard on yourself when things don’t go exactly as expected.
A．Create a supportive environment.
B．Visualize the benefits of good habits.
C．People often say practice makes perfect.
D．Trying to tackle it all at once can make you feel stuck.
E．Even small steps forward are better than standing still.
F．Maybe it’s to advance your career or learn a useful skill.
G．In contrast, being around negative influences can empty your motivation.
（2025·宁夏吴忠·一模）Mobile Phones in Education: A Double-Edged Sword
The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education
is still a matter of debate. While some think of them as a trouble, others feel they can serve as a useful tool for
learning. Students are often distracted by their mobile phones during class time. Some people doubt whether
students are focused on their lessons or are instead distracted (使分心) by their devices, texting or even trying to
cheat by taking photos of tests. 1
2 For example, France has made a law that doesn’t allow students under 15 to use mobile phones
in school. The problem of students using mobile phones in class is a real worry. They are checking their phones,
texting or going on social media. 3 Therefore, to deal with the problem, some schools have started
using tech solutions. Schools have begun to use special boxes to keep students’ phones during school time, so they
won’t be tempted to use them.The idea of limiting mobile phone use isn’t just happening in a few schools. Over 30 schools in France
have put some kind of limit on mobile phone use this year or last year, with different areas making their own rules
about phones.
4 The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. Teachers
think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach
about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. 5
In their eye, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.
A．It’s apparent that mobile phones can destroy a child.
B．They regard it as part of changing education for children.
C．There’s also a chance they’re playing games or watching videos on their phones instead of listening to the
teacher.
D．However, a number of schools have decided against a complete ban on mobile phones.
E．In fact, with proper guidance, mobile phones can boost the learning experience.
F．Surprisingly, some students even devote up to 12 hours daily to their mobile phones.
G．Educators are exploring the most effective ways to monitor student mobile phone usage.
