Will Gladstone, an amateur birder, was in his 5th-grade science class when he first heard of the blue-footed booby, a beautiful, eye-catching bird. He learned that the population of this particular bird was in decline. Will decided to raise money to support conservation efforts. As he was brainstorming ideas, he looked down at his feet, and suddenly he had an idea. Feet, he thought, blue feet! He decided to sell bright blue socks and donate the money to environmental organizations trying to help the birds. His younger brother Matty joined him in his effort as his partner. The boys started the Blue Feet Foundation (BFF) in 2016.
In the beginning, it was a challenge for the boys to gather support for their cause. They decided to ask a better-known conservation organization to sponsor them. However, none were willing to do so. “They didn’t agree to it because we were just kids,” says Will.
Although this was discouraging, the two persevered. Finally, they came across an organization they hadn’t heard of before: the Galapagos Conservancy (GC). Its mission was to support conservation in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are home to about half of the world’s blue-footed boobies. They offered to highlight the foundation in the protection’s newsletter. It boosted the BFF’s credibility.
Four years later, their hard work paid off. They amassed over 18,000 Instagram followers and 10,000 Facebook followers. They sold 18,000 pairs of socks, sending them all across the globe. Orders have come from 50 different countries. If you visit the picture gallery on their website, you’ll also see blue socks being modeled by a few famous people, including members of the Blue Man Group and a Boston Bruins hockey player.
Although the population of these birds in the Galapagos has declined significantly over the past 20 years, we have seen some hopeful signs. These include an increase in young birds. However, there is still work to be done. Although the decline in population is slowing, it’s not reversing. Elderly birds are dying faster than chicks are being born.
4. Which of the following can best define the boys?
A. Ambitious daydreamers. B. Active bird researchers.
C. Good problem solvers. D. Passionate science fans.
5. What contributed to Conservancy’s decision to help the boys?
A. Their consistent goals.
B. Their accidental meet.
C. Their equal credibility.
D. Their financial strength.
6. What’s the purpose of listing the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To promote the fame of the Foundation.
B. To show the popularity of the boys’ socks.
C. To highlight the impact of the Foundation.
D. To demonstrate the diversity of the customer base.
7. What can be learned about the bird population from the last paragraph?
A. It remains stable. B. It remains declining.
C. It is increasing shockingly. D. It is undergoing ups and downs.
C
Regrets are known for leaving people in the past, trapped in an unhappy state. Over time, maybe you blame yourself for ending an old romantic relationship, making a bad career choice or being too afraid to step outside your comfort zone.
“The regrets that really haunt people are unresolved regrets, things they could never fix,” Bruine de Bruin, an expert in psychology says. “If you feel like you should have gone to university, you can fix that when you’re relatively young. That can be harder to do when you’re older.” Fortunately, many older adults are better equipped to handle their emotions. “They have the wisdom that comes with life experience,” says Pär Bjälkebring, senior psychology lecturer at Gothenburg University in Sweden. “When they encounter a situation a younger person would regret, they can handle it.” For his research, Bjälkebring asked younger and older adults to record their regrets for a week. “The older participants look at regrets in a different way, and try to accept what is happening,” Bjälkebring says. “Over a week, older adults have less regret and use strategies to handle them. They’re more functional.”
Research shows that the most common reason for regret is missed opportunity. People fantasise about benefits they believe they’ve missed while ignoring the disadvantages that would have naturally arisen. Never got that promotion? You likely think about the missed income without considering the extra stress that the position would have brought. Instead of imagining an alternate reality, focus on the good in your life. “Avoid making comparisons.” Bruine de Bruin says. “Making comparisons undermines the happiness you have. Try to rejoice instead of regret.” “People tend to forget inaction — you may have fewer regrets if you act more and avoid things less.”
Regrets have a tendency to make you feel terrible, but those negative feelings aren’t always harmful. Research shows that initially, regrets help you learn from mistakes. Those who express regret over a decision they’ve made tend to make a better decision next time. Changing your thought process can free you from feelings of guilt, shame and sorrow.
8. What does the underlined word “haunt” in Paragragh 2 mean?
A. Control. B. Offend.
C. Ruin. D. Disturb.
9. What enables the older to better tackle regrets?
A. Their inner capacity. B. Their education experience.
C. Their expectation of life. D. Their integrated emotions.
10. Which misconception may lead to the occurrence of a regret?
A. Losers are always in the wrong.
B. You can’t have your cake and eat it.
C. What is lost is always better than what is gained.
D. Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the sense of regret?
A. Unclear. B. Favorable.
C. Disapproval. D. Objective.
D
Do you have a brain for math? New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters (脑神经传递素) — glutamate (谷氨酸) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)can predict mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.
The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects extending a range of six-year olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity (可塑性) and learning. Based on prior research, the focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities — the left intraparietal sulcus (IPS 顶叶内沟) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 脑额中回).
The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.
The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half later.
Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of 14 to 18 year olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a student was still studying maths or had ceased that subject years prior.
Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on whether certain learning interventions can help those children less interested in math so these brain regions still get the developmental workout they need.
“Not every adolescent enjoys maths so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as maths,” says Cohen Kadosh.
12. What is the new study aimed at?
A. Exploring mental development of the subjects.
B. Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.
C. Testing the link between brain regions.
D. Revealing the structure of brain.
13. What can be learned from the findings?
A. The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.
B. Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.
C. Neurotransmitters in the MFG affect math skills.
D. Math education may help with brain development.
14. What can better math education according to Cohen Kadosh?
A. Studying more possible options.
B. Tracing slow learners’ early learning.
C. Training math learners respectively.
D. Developing key relevant brain areas.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Factors Affecting Math Skills
B. Ways to Promote Math Education
C. Brain Activities Involved in Math Study
D. Math Ability Predicted by Neurotransmitters

“Brrrrr—boppppp!” Ricky sat at the kitchen table, imitating the drumbeat of his favorite song as he finished his math homework. His pencil moved in time to the percussive (打击乐) rhythms booming from his earbuds.
Grandma Johnson came into the kitchen just as Ricky was putting his math notebook back into his backpack.
“I don’t know how you get anything done listening to that hippity-hoppity noise,”she exclaimed.
Ricky took out his earbuds and fought hard not to roll his eyes. He knew Grandma Johnson was half-teasing. But the hip-hop rhythms relaxed his mind and quietened his thoughts, allowing his brain to focus on the page.
“Guess what, Grandma?” said Ricky. “I’ve finished my homework.”
Without his earbuds, Ricky could hear the music playing in the background — a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Pushing aside his annoyance, he took his grandmother’s hand and gave her a little twirl (旋转). Ricky has always felt close to his grandma. And now that his high school was near his grandmother’s Brooklyn home, he went there every day to eat dinner and do his homework before heading home to Harlem. Ricky knew his presence helped ease his grandmother’s loneliness, and he loved spending time with her. But… he just wished she would stop dismissing his favorite music as noise.
That evening, Grandma surprised Ricky with tickets to a Stevie Wonder concert at Madison Square Garden. Ricky was secretly disappointed, as he believed the concert would be boring compared to the hip-hop concerts he had attended. However, he smiled and thanked his grandmother for the gift. At dinner, Grandma Johnson took out her old photo albums and told Ricky stories about her past experiences at music festival s and concerts, including a Stevie Wonder concert in 1972. “This is not just music,” Grandma told him. “This is Black History, Black Culture. Blind as he is, he is a great musician.” But a Stevie Wonder concert today —an old guy on stage, playing a keyboard and singing? No dancers? No special effects? How boring!
Paragraph 1
The day of the concert arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
It turned out that the live performance differed from Ricky’s imagination.

Will Gladstone, an amateur birder, was in his 5th-grade science class when he first heard of the blue-footed booby, a beautiful, eye-catching bird. He learned that the population of this particular bird was in decline. Will decided to raise money to support conservation efforts. As he was brainstorming ideas, he looked down at his feet, and suddenly he had an idea. Feet, he thought, blue feet! He decided to sell bright blue socks and donate the money to environmental organizations trying to help the birds. His younger brother Matty joined him in his effort as his partner. The boys started the Blue Feet Foundation (BFF) in 2016.
In the beginning, it was a challenge for the boys to gather support for their cause. They decided to ask a better-known conservation organization to sponsor them. However, none were willing to do so. “They didn’t agree to it because we were just kids,” says Will.
Although this was discouraging, the two persevered. Finally, they came across an organization they hadn’t heard of before: the Galapagos Conservancy (GC). Its mission was to support conservation in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are home to about half of the world’s blue-footed boobies. They offered to highlight the foundation in the protection’s newsletter. It boosted the BFF’s credibility.
Four years later, their hard work paid off. They amassed over 18,000 Instagram followers and 10,000 Facebook followers. They sold 18,000 pairs of socks, sending them all across the globe. Orders have come from 50 different countries. If you visit the picture gallery on their website, you’ll also see blue socks being modeled by a few famous people, including members of the Blue Man Group and a Boston Bruins hockey player.
Although the population of these birds in the Galapagos has declined significantly over the past 20 years, we have seen some hopeful signs. These include an increase in young birds. However, there is still work to be done. Although the decline in population is slowing, it’s not reversing. Elderly birds are dying faster than chicks are being born.
4. Which of the following can best define the boys?
A. Ambitious daydreamers. B. Active bird researchers.
C. Good problem solvers. D. Passionate science fans.
5. What contributed to Conservancy’s decision to help the boys?
A. Their consistent goals.
B. Their accidental meet.
C. Their equal credibility.
D. Their financial strength.
6. What’s the purpose of listing the numbers in Paragraph 4?
A. To promote the fame of the Foundation.
B. To show the popularity of the boys’ socks.
C. To highlight the impact of the Foundation.
D. To demonstrate the diversity of the customer base.
7. What can be learned about the bird population from the last paragraph?
A. It remains stable. B. It remains declining.
C. It is increasing shockingly. D. It is undergoing ups and downs.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】

Regrets are known for leaving people in the past, trapped in an unhappy state. Over time, maybe you blame yourself for ending an old romantic relationship, making a bad career choice or being too afraid to step outside your comfort zone.
“The regrets that really haunt people are unresolved regrets, things they could never fix,” Bruine de Bruin, an expert in psychology says. “If you feel like you should have gone to university, you can fix that when you’re relatively young. That can be harder to do when you’re older.” Fortunately, many older adults are better equipped to handle their emotions. “They have the wisdom that comes with life experience,” says Pär Bjälkebring, senior psychology lecturer at Gothenburg University in Sweden. “When they encounter a situation a younger person would regret, they can handle it.” For his research, Bjälkebring asked younger and older adults to record their regrets for a week. “The older participants look at regrets in a different way, and try to accept what is happening,” Bjälkebring says. “Over a week, older adults have less regret and use strategies to handle them. They’re more functional.”
Research shows that the most common reason for regret is missed opportunity. People fantasise about benefits they believe they’ve missed while ignoring the disadvantages that would have naturally arisen. Never got that promotion? You likely think about the missed income without considering the extra stress that the position would have brought. Instead of imagining an alternate reality, focus on the good in your life. “Avoid making comparisons.” Bruine de Bruin says. “Making comparisons undermines the happiness you have. Try to rejoice instead of regret.” “People tend to forget inaction — you may have fewer regrets if you act more and avoid things less.”
Regrets have a tendency to make you feel terrible, but those negative feelings aren’t always harmful. Research shows that initially, regrets help you learn from mistakes. Those who express regret over a decision they’ve made tend to make a better decision next time. Changing your thought process can free you from feelings of guilt, shame and sorrow.

Do you have a brain for math? New research indicates that levels of two key neurotransmitters (脑神经传递素) — glutamate (谷氨酸) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)can predict mathematical abilities, suggesting brain chemistry may be playing a role in those who find math easy.
The new study, published in the journal PLOS Biology, recruited 255 subjects extending a range of six-year olds in primary school to university students. The research focused on glutamate and GABA, known to play a role in brain plasticity (可塑性) and learning. Based on prior research, the focus was on two brain regions linked with mathematical abilities — the left intraparietal sulcus (IPS 顶叶内沟) and the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG 脑额中回).
The results were interestingly different. In the youngest subjects high GABA levels and low glutamate levels in the left IPS were consistently associated with high math skills. But in the older university group the exact opposite was seen: low GABA and high glutamate were linked with strong mathematical abilities. Levels of both neurotransmitters in the MFG did not associate with math skills.
The group was tested twice over 18 months, allowing the researchers to see if these neurotransmitter levels could predict mathematical ability into the future. And it worked, with neurotransmitter levels effectively predicting one’s success on math tests completed a year and a half later.
Another recent study from the same research team looked specifically at GABA levels in MFG of 14 to 18 year olds. That research indicated MFG GABA levels could effectively predict whether a student was still studying maths or had ceased that subject years prior.
Cohen Kadosh, one of the researchers working on the study, says this may indicate math education can help stimulate the development of key brain regions. Further research will work on whether certain learning interventions can help those children less interested in math so these brain regions still get the developmental workout they need.
“Not every adolescent enjoys maths so we need to investigate possible alternatives, such as training in logic and reasoning that engage the same brain area as maths,” says Cohen Kadosh.
12. What is the new study aimed at?
A. Exploring mental development of the subjects.
B. Finding the tie between brain chemistry and math.
C. Testing the link between brain regions.
D. Revealing the structure of brain.
13. What can be learned from the findings?
A. The levels of GABA decide one’s math skills.
B. Low MFG glutamate means poor math ability.
C. Neurotransmitters in the MFG affect math skills.
D. Math education may help with brain development.
14. What can better math education according to Cohen Kadosh?
A. Studying more possible options.
B. Tracing slow learners’ early learning.
C. Training math learners respectively.
D. Developing key relevant brain areas.
15. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Factors Affecting Math Skills
B. Ways to Promote Math Education
C. Brain Activities Involved in Math Study
D. Math Ability Predicted by Neurotransmitters

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了桑树皮纸的历史、重要性以及现代工业产品出现后它逐渐退出日常生活的情况。同时,也提到了桑树皮纸在传统绘画和书法创作中不可替代的作用,以及被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录的事件。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语短语。句意:修复人员以残存的纸样为线索,发现这是一种以桑树皮为原料的纸张,极为坚韧,承拉力强。be based on是固定搭配,表示基于,此处是非谓语动词作状语,所以应该用过去分词修饰。故填Based。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:桑树皮纸起源于汉朝,比蔡伦改进的造纸技术早了300多年,它也是古丝绸之路上的信使。句子已经存在谓语was,所以originate需要作非谓语,Originating是现在分词形式,和逻辑主语paper呈主动关系,另外注意首字母大写。故填Originating。
【38题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:桑树皮纸起源于汉朝,比蔡伦改进的造纸技术早了300多年,它也是古丝绸之路上的信使。which引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是technology,在从句里作主语。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:它已成为古代中原与周边地区、中国与亚洲及欧洲国家之间交流的重要载体。横线前有形容词important,说明横线处填名词,carrier是名词,表示载体,符合句意。故填carrier。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:随着现代造纸工业产品的出现,由于其纯手工制作和低产量,桑树皮纸已逐渐从人们的日常生活中退出。With表示伴随情况的发生,用于引出桑树皮纸退出的原因。故填With。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:随着现代造纸工业产品的出现,由于其纯手工制作和低产量,桑树皮纸已逐渐从人们的日常生活中退出。横线后有hand-make和output两个名词,说明应该把it变成形容词性物主代词,故填its。
【42题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:然而,故宫的修复使艺术家意识到桑树皮纸在传统绘画和书法创作以及修复中的作用,现代机器产品无法替代。空格前后的名词是并列关系,应该用连词and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:2006年,维吾尔桑树皮纸的制作技术被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录,桑树皮纸的科学价值、人文价值和历史研究价值得到了重视。根据句意,造纸技术只能是被列入遗产名录,因此需要使用被动语态,再根据时间状语2006年,应该使用一般过去时,故填was listed。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:2006年,维吾尔桑树皮纸的制作技术被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录,桑树皮纸的科学价值、人文价值和历史研究价值得到了重视。historical/historic是形容词,表示历史的,用于修饰research value。故填historical或historic。
【45题详解】
考查不定式作目的状语。句意:现在,更多的年轻人回到他们的家乡学习制作桑树皮纸的技艺,并传承这门手艺。to learn是不定式,表示目的,用于说明年轻人回到家乡的目的。故填to learn。

Dear Chris,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear Chris,
I am writing to share my thoughts on the phenomenon that many of us are hesitant to ask questions and lack of awareness in asking questions during English class.
The reasons are as follows. Some students may be afraid of being judged or criticized for asking questions. Additionally, our education system often emphasizes memorization and test-taking, rather than critical thinking and inquiry.
I think creating a more supportive and encouraging learning environment could help boost our confidence in asking questions. Organizing more interactive activities is also of equal significance. I’m confident that we can overcome this challenge under your guidance.
Yours,
Li Hua

2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;
“Brrrrr—boppppp!” Ricky sat at the kitchen table, imitating the drumbeat of his favorite song as he finished his math homework. His pencil moved in time to the percussive (打击乐的) rhythms booming from his earbuds.
Grandma Johnson came into the kitchen just as Ricky was putting his math notebook back into his backpack.
“I don’t know how you get anything done listening to that hippity-hoppity noise,”she exclaimed.
Ricky took out his earbuds and fought hard not to roll his eyes. He knew Grandma Johnson was half-teasing. But the hip-hop rhythms relaxed his mind and quietened his thoughts, allowing his brain to focus on the page.
“Guess what, Grandma?” said Ricky. “I’ve finished my homework.”
Without his earbuds, Ricky could hear the music playing in the background — a song by Diana Ross and the Supremes. Pushing aside his annoyance, he took his grandmother’s hand and gave her a little twirl (旋转). Ricky has always felt close to his grandma. And now that his high school was near his grandmother’s Brooklyn home, he went there every day to eat dinner and do his homework before heading home to Harlem. Ricky knew his presence helped ease his grandmother’s loneliness, and he loved spending time with her. But… he just wished she would stop dismissing his favorite music as noise.
That evening, Grandma surprised Ricky with tickets to a Stevie Wonder concert at Madison Square Garden. Ricky was secretly disappointed, as he believed the concert would be boring compared to the hip-hop concerts he had attended. However, he smiled and thanked his grandmother for the gift. At dinner, Grandma Johnson took out her old photo albums and told Ricky stories about her past experiences at music festival s and concerts, including a Stevie Wonder concert in 1972. “This is not just music,” Grandma told him. “This is Black History, Black Culture. Blind as he is, he is a great musician.” But a Stevie Wonder concert today —an old guy on stage, playing a keyboard and singing? No dancers? No special effects? How boring!
Paragraph 1
The day of the concert arrived.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
It turned out that the live performance differed from Ricky’s imagination.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The day of the concert arrived. Ricky, with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, accompanied his grandmother to Madison Square Garden. The atmosphere was electric, filled with fans of all ages, their faces glowing with anticipation. As they took their seats, Grandma Johnson’s excitement was palpable, her eyes sparkling with memories. Ricky couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt for his earlier dismissive thoughts about the concert. The lights dimmed, and the stage came to life, the audience erupting into cheers as Stevie Wonder made his entrance.
It turned out that the live performance differed from Ricky’s imagination. The music was soulful and powerful, transcending generations and resonating deeply within him. Stevie’s voice, rich and emotive, captivated the audience, and his mastery of the keyboard was nothing short of mesmerizing. There were no flashy dancers or high-tech special effects, but the raw talent and passion of the performance spoke volumes. Ricky found himself tapping his feet, nodding his head, and even singing along. By the end of the concert, he had a newfound appreciation for the music that had shaped his grandmother’s youth and realized the timeless beauty of true artistry.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Ricky与他的祖母之间关于音乐的代沟和理解的故事。Ricky通过祖母给他的Stevie Wonder音乐会的票,经历了从怀疑到欣赏的转变,从而对祖母的音乐品味和文化背景有了更深的理解。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 根据第一段首句“音乐会日子到来了。”可知第一段描述Ricky虽然对音乐会持怀疑态度,但出于对祖母的尊重,还是陪同她前往。
② 根据第二段首句“结果发现现场表演与Ricky的想象不同。”可知第二段揭示了音乐会的现场表演超出了Ricky的预期,使他对音乐有了新的认识。
2. 续写线索:怀疑——陪同——现场体验——转变观念——欣赏——理解
3. 词汇激活:
行为类
① 陪同:accompany/attend with
e②爆发欢呼声:erupting into cheers/burst into cheers
情绪类
① 怀疑:skepticism/doubt
② 欣赏:appreciation/admiration
③ 热情:passion/enthusiasm
【点睛】【高分句型1】The lights dimmed, and the stage came to life, the audience erupting into cheers as Stevie Wonder made his entrance.(独立主格结构和as引导的状语从句)
【高分句型2】By the end of the concert, he had a newfound appreciation for the music that had shaped his grandmother’s youth and realized the timeless beauty of true artistry.(that引导的定语从句)
