聊到"时间与空间"，你是不是想先背一波"高级词"：**distance、location、century、temporary、permanent**？
这次我把近五年 **181 篇高考真题**（约 4.7 万词）全部扫了一遍，结果挺反直觉：
> **distance 只有 3 次，location 只有 5 次，century 11 次；**
> **temporary、permanent、delay、postpone 这些"高级时间词"，全语料各只有 2 次。**
那是不是 through、across、after、now 这些最高频？它们确实篇篇都在——但它们是**介词和副词，是连接句子的"时空骨架"**，高考放在语法填空的虚词位去考，而不是当"话题词"让你背。
真正撑起时空话题的，是五个看着特别朴素的词族——
**time、day、early/late、place、urban/city。**
记住一句话：**高考写时空，不考你会不会用大词，考你能不能把"什么时候、在哪儿、前后怎么变"说清楚。**
今天我们就把这 5 个词族一次拿下，每个都配**词根速记、一词全家、真题原句、易错点**，最后还有时空话题专属练习和作文模板。
建议先**收藏**起来背，也欢迎**转发**给一起备考的同学。

## 五、阅读理解（仿真原创，对标新高考，4题含完整题干）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
> **The 15-Minute City**
>
> Imagine being able to reach your school, your doctor, a park and your favourite food shop all within a short walk or bike ride from home. That is the central idea of the "15-minute city," a plan first proposed by Professor Carlos Moreno. In too many modern cities, people spend hours every day travelling between distant homes, workplaces and services. Moreno argues that daily life does not have to be this way.
>
> The idea is simple to state but demanding to carry out. Shops, schools, health centers and public transport should be placed close to where people live, rather than gathered in a single crowded downtown. Streets ought to be safe for walking and cycling, and every district should contain a mix of housing, offices and green space. When these conditions are met, residents waste less time in traffic and have more time for family, rest and exercise.
>
> Critics, however, raise doubts. Some worry that making an area so convenient will quickly push up housing prices and force poorer families out. Others point out that older cities, built centuries ago, cannot easily change their narrow streets and historic centres. Moreno does not deny these difficulties, but insists they are reasons to plan carefully, not excuses to do nothing.
>
> Several cities around the world have already begun experimenting, closing certain streets to cars and turning empty parking areas into small parks. It is still early, and no one knows how far the model will spread. Yet the debate itself points to a deeper question: if a city exists to serve its people, why should so much of life be spent simply getting from place to place?
**1. What problem does the 15-minute city plan aim to solve?**
A. The high price of food in city shops.
B. People spending long hours travelling between distant places.
C. The lack of tall modern buildings.
D. Cities having too many small parks.
**2. According to the passage, what does the plan require?**
A. Moving all services into one downtown area.
B. Replacing every old street with a wider road.
C. Placing daily services close to where people live.
D. Building more parking lots outside the city.
**3. What concern do the critics raise?**
A. Housing might become too expensive for poorer families.
B. People will lose interest in cycling.
C. Doctors will refuse to work in cities.
D. Public transport will become overcrowded.
**4. What is the deeper question mentioned at the end?**
A. Why historic buildings should be protected.
B. Whether cars will disappear in the future.
C. How many parks a city truly needs.
D. Why so much of life is spent merely travelling between places.

## 六、书面表达（时空话题：建议信）
**题目：** 假设你是李华，你的英国笔友 Chris 即将来华，在你所在的城市做一年交换生，他来信想了解如何安排每天的时间、尽快熟悉这座城市。请你写一封回信，内容包括：
1. 建议他合理安排每天的时间；
2. 推荐一个了解这座城市的方式；
3. 表达祝愿。
**参考范文：**
> Dear Chris,
>
> I'm glad that you are coming to our city for a year. Here is some advice.
>
> First, plan your day early and make a simple daily schedule for study, rest and exercise, and try not to stay up late. At weekends, ride a bike around the old town instead of only visiting the busy downtown. Walking slowly through its streets is the best way to feel the city and meet local people.
>
> I hope you will soon feel at home and have an unforgettable year.
>
