Passage 4 When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that. That year we had to present four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was frightened to death. Mr. Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball. When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr. Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than present it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me for the presentation, but Mr. Bamick encouraged me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy or comfortable for me, but I did it. Years later I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade. One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament(锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match. Some of these are carried live on television and all of them are before thousands of people. It’s still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr. Bamick’s help, I get through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there. We all need heroes in our lives. They can be role models or they can be important persons in our world. Mr. Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became. 10. In what aspect did Mr. Bamick help the author? A. Improving her learning skills. B. Winning her classmates’ trust. C.

B. She is a tennis player. C. She wants to be a teacher. D. She enjoys commenting on books. 13. What can be the best title for the text? A. My best oral book report. B. A typical kid in primary school. C. My favorite childhood teacher. D. An unforgettable national event. Passage 5 (2023-2024学年高一上·四川凉山·期末)When Jack was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. However, things turned out to be quite disappointing. The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon. On that afternoon, as the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts(概念), dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one grasped the concepts. Except for Jack. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it. Encouraged by his newfound success, Jack moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for art. All children naturally drew dark pictures on such a day. Except for Jack. Since then, Jack started improving. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Jack? On the day Jack graduated, he presented the teacher with his most precious possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Jack had written: This is the day I woke up to my brightness. 14. How might be Jack’s feeling before school started? A. disappointed B. confident C. worried D. calm 15. Why couldn’t the kids but Jack understand the concepts? A. Because they were not clever. B. Because math was too difficult. C. Because the teacher was too strict. D. Because they were attracted by the thunder. 16. What does the underlined phrase woke up to probably mean? A. became aware of B. come up with C. got close to D. made up for 17.

Passage 6 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖南张家界·期末)As an engineer, I have designed electronic control systems for more than 30 years, and I had expected to do so until I retired(退休). My wife, Krisztina Valter, is a scientist. One year, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of biology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention. Jochen Zeil, a professor who studies animal behaviour, presented a model of how insects could work out a way to go to a target despite having small brains. At lunchtime, my wife introduced us. Zeil and I had a very enjoyable discussion about his idea and biology. When we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he e-mailed me: “Haven’t heard from you. Have you enrolled(登记入学) yet?”And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctoral student in biology. My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast. It was not easy, but I got a lot of help from other laboratory members and my wife. The more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper caused the need to read more. It was tiring, and at times disappointing, but brought a lot of fun. You read, think, and suddenly things fall into place. Now, at the age of 61, this period is nearly at an end. New knowledge enriches(充实) you, regardless of how old you are. My advice is that if you have the opportunity to enter a new field, take it. 18. What attracted the author’s interest at the scientific activity? A. A latest electronic control system. B. A speaker sharing his hobbies in retirement. C. A speech about small insects’ living habits. D. A model showing insects’ smart behaviour. 19. What can we infer from the email mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Zeil took the author’s joke seriously. B. Zeil found the author’s talent in biology. C. The author was recommended by his wife. D. The author needed help with the application. 20. How does the author find his experience of learning biology? A. Fun and relaxing B. Tiring and painful. C. Challenging but interesting. D. Boring but educational. 21. What is the author’s purpose in sharing his story? A. To tell us it’s never too late to learn. B. To show the importance of getting a degree. C. To encourage us to develop a love for science. D. To remind us sometimes we need to stop to reflect. Passage 7 (2023-2024学年高一上·广东深圳·期末)Paul Durietz is a 76-year-old social studies teacher from Illinois, the United States. On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. Mr. Durietz has been teaching for 53 years — since he was 23 years old. When he was just 11, Mr. Durietz says, he made up his mind to be a social studies teacher. Social studies is the study of history, and how people, countries, and cultures are connected. He became interested in history after hearing stories from his father, who fought in World War II. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. He says he loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. “Teaching is never boring,” he says. “Every day is different.” Things have changed a lot since Mr. Durietz first began teaching. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Despite this, Mr. Durietz says the students are still pretty much the same — except that now they have cell phones. With or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. He has even organized elections at school to help his students learn about politics. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. But his family, friends, and the people he works with encouraged him to apply to Guinness to see if he’d set a record. He had. Now he still has no plans to retire any time soon. “Keep working on what I love to do in life,” he says. 22. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce Guinness world Records. B. To inspire readers to create records. C. To recognize teachers’ contribution. D. To report a record-setting teacher. 23. What has changed greatly in Mr. Durietz’s teaching career? A. Teaching equipment. B. Students’ attitudes. C. His love of teaching. D. Classroom activities. 24. Why will Mr. Durietz continue his work? A. He wants to keep his world record. B. He is devoted to his beloved career. C. He enjoys overcoming difficulties. D. He is persuaded to keep working. 25. What message does the text convey? A. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. B. Success comes to those who never give up. C. Greatness can be achieved in ordinary jobs. D. It takes combined efforts to realize a dream. Passage 8 (2023-2024学年高一上·江苏盐城·期末)Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B⁺, compared to a B⁻ for those who did not. “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who'd done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test fear and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests.” But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 26. What do the students start worrying about before an exam? A. Whether they can pass the exam. B. What other students do during the test. C. Whether they have remembered the materials. D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper. 27. What is the solution developed by researchers? A. Making the students focused on the test. B. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test. C. Having the students write about their worries about the test. D. Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test. 28. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________. A. became less nervous before the test B. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings C. were better at controlling their feelings D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings 29. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A. writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit B. we can only write about our worries right before an exam C. the best place to write about our worries is in the test room before an exam D. it doesn’t matter where and when we write about our worries before an exam Passage 9 (2023-2024学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 30. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online? A. It has been widely accepted. B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips. C. It provides various online courses. D. It requires parents to help with check-ins. 31. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education? A. The development. B. The concerns. C. The advantages. D. The popularity. 32. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________. A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved B. local schooling systems are not fully developed C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education 33. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. Passage 10 (2023-2024学年高一上·山东菏泽·期末)A walking school bus (WSB) project can help reduce air pollution, increase the number of students walking and bicycling, and offer children and parents an opportunity to exercise and socialize, while getting to school on time! WSB is a safe and fun way for children to get physical activity as they travel to and from school. Each “bus” walks along a way with one or more parents leading it, picking children up at stops along a way designed ahead of time and walking them to school. Then it runs back in the afternoons on the way home from school under adults supervision (监管). It is that easy. You may find that families are already doing this with their children and would be glad to help more students get to school in this healthy, safe and fun way! Planning WSB seems not to be simple. But the key is to make sure you know the steps. This guide will walk you through how to plan a WSB and help to tailor(定制) your project to your school, community and students. First, get started and plan the route, and then recruit(招募) students and leaders. Finally, run and perfect your project. You may or may not choose to perform these steps in order, depending on your project. As you work through some steps in order, the WSB Planning Worksheet and Timeline will help you organize your project. Each section of the worksheet helps you record the progress: who is responsible for each task, when things need to start, and the date due to finish. These planning documents will help you organize ideas, people and time in order to improve your WSB as easily as possible. For more information, explore the references at the end of this guide. 34. What does the WSB mainly aim to do? A. Advertise road safety rules. B. Help children get exercise. C. Improve student performance. D. Make transportation convenient. 35. What does the underlined word bus in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A school bus. B. A project. C. Parents. D. Students. 36. What do paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly talk about? A. Who to join in the WSB. B. How to arrange a project. C. When to record progress. D. Where to make a worksheet. 37. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A science magazine. C. A guide. D. A book review. Passage 11 (2023-2024学年高一上·江苏常州·期末)Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程)? In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject. But after new research that shows that obesity(肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline(自律). Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem(自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even more important than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives. However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified(合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory(强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo(武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap(不幸事故) or physical damage. 38. What’s the topic of this text? A. What martial arts are. B. Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum. C. Who should teach martial arts as a main subject at school. D. How martial arts work for schools. 39. Why should martial arts be added into the curriculum? A. Self-defense is not taught at schools. B. Obesity levels are still rising fast in the world. C. It provides physical and mental benefits. D. It can help prevent physical damage. 40. What are the “chicken” and the “egg” in the “a chicken and egg situation” in the last paragraph? A. Building a dojo and finding the trainers.. B. Teaching martial arts and the physical damage. C. Lack of trainers and the fear of mishap. D. Lack of trainers and no compulsory curriculum of martial arts. 41. What is the author’s attitude towards adding martial arts to the curriculum? A. Unclear. B. Uninterested. C. Disliking. D. Negative. Passage 12 (2023-2024学年高一上·江西新余·期末)I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was stunned and delighted recently when a student sat across from me and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. “You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more rigorous course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see it as a risk to my academic work and college success.” Kids all over the world admit they are under tremendous pressure to be perfect. So students are usually in shock when I chuckle and tell them I never expect perfection. How could a dean of admission at one of America’s most selective institutions not want the best and the brightest? The reality is (that) perfection doesn’t exist. I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce back is a fundamental life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. During my weekend of interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed precalculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I’m now taking calculus, and even though I don’t love it, I’m glad I pushed through!” I asked him what he learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success. I also learned that if you want anything bad enough, you can achieve it.” I smiled as I wrote his words down on the application-review form. This kid will thrive on my campus. Not only will the faculty love him, but he has the coping skills he needs to adjust to the rigors of life in a residential college setting. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. 42. What does the underlined word “rigorous” in the first paragraph mean? A. fun B. lively C. strict D. special 43. What can we learn from the student mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Teachers can help students to admit failure. B. Parents define their children’s success by grades. C. Teenagers get lessons of failure through experiences. D. Young people spend enough time letting go of shame. 44. Why did the author smile as he wrote the student’s words down on the application-review form? A. Because the college teachers would love the student for his perfection. B. Because he succeeded in persuading the student into the college. C. Because the student realized his dream of being a perfect person. D. Because he thought the student would have a promising future. 45. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Learn to Fail B. Live to Learn C. Try to Succeed D. Decide to Experience Passage 13 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖北·期末)“My favorite thing about hiking is that I get to work out my legs,” said Skylar, a six-year-old camper. “And I get to see the view!” Skylar is one of twenty kids participating in the week-long Gross Out Camp, a summer program hosted at parks and outdoor spaces across Alabama. “This is kids’ natural habitat out here in the woods,” said Verna Gates, who started Gross Out Camp 14 years ago. As schools begin again across Alabama, most students are returning to days spent in indoor classrooms, but some will continue to learn and play outside, even while at school. It’s part of a growing movement to teach kids in nature and help them connect with their environment. In recent years, at least three nature preschools, or forest schools, have opened across Alabama. They operate almost entirely outside. “It seems like a very foreign concept, especially when we first described it to people,” said Sarah Crim, director of the Woodland Wonders Nature Preschool in Auburn. “But it’s great, and it works.” In this forest school, students learn knowledge from every activity. The class might discover a turtle walking along the forest floor at the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center, where the school is located. That presents an opportunity for students to talk about the animal’s shape and color, and write about their discovery. After starting Woodland Wonders in 2019, Crim said word spread quickly. The school has since added classes and programs for older kids, but they can’t keep up with demand. It’s a similar case at Little Mountain Forest School in Huntsvillem, where kids learn and play at Monte Sano State Park. Co-founder and co-director Beth Barry said that both kids and parents love the natural space. Fellow co-founder and co-director Sarah Callaway said the most common question is about the weather. They spend a lot of time reviewing proper clothing, because students are outside rain or shine. “As a forest school parent, it can be a pain in the behind to have to deal with your muddy and wet kid,” Callaway said. “But the kids love it. Those are some of the best days.” 46. What is Gross Out Camp? A. It’s a summer program for outdoor enthusiasts in Alabama. B. It’s a summer program that teaches kids about the environment. C. It’s a summer program for students returning to indoor classrooms. D. It’s a summer program for kids to participate in outdoor activities. 47. What is the main focus of forest schools in Alabama? A. Teaching kids about the weather and proper clothing. B. Providing opportunities for outdoor play and learning. C. Offering programs to older kids in the natural space. D. Advocating a connection with the environment. 48. What is the attitude of parents to Woodland Wonders? A. Tolerant B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Mild 49. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in paragraph 6? A. Students. B. Parents. C. Callaway and her workmates. D. Weather reporters. Passage 14 (2023-2024学年高一上·福建南平·期末)In many adults, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) as early as age 30 and become worse in their mid-60s, which is shown in tests of cognitive(认知的) abilities. These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning. However, a three-month study Rachel Wu and her partners designed suggests that this decline can be addressed. In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger. The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term. “Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing. 50. What leads to the decline in cognitive abilities? A.

Passage 15 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖南长沙·期末)Three years ago, Jasminka Jost was looking for a place for her young son, Vigo, to be active. She had tried playing soccer, but Vigo, who has autism (孤独症), had trouble focusing on the game. Jost needed a safe space for Vigo with coaches who specialized in meeting his needs. That’s when friends referred Jost and her family to the River City Inclusive Cym (RCIG), which offers workout classes for children, teens and adults with disabilities. The gym has been in operation since 2016, renting space in a traditional gymnastics gym before moving to its current location on Patterson Avenue in April 2022. There’re six hour —long classes per day from Monday through Saturday, each with a maximum of seven attendees and each featuring one coach per participant. “Our classes consist of an obstacle course,” says Mike McGrath, the founder of RCIG. “There’re four different sections of the gym, and we spend 15 minutes in each section. There’re monkey bars, swings, ropes for climbing and swinging, slides ropes for climbing and swinging, slides, and more. That can sound frightening, but we start from where they’re comfortable. If they just need to touch the rope at first, that’s OK, but our goal is to gradually build their skill level and participation.” Vigo, now 6 years old, looks forward to classes every week. There’re classes far older kids and young adults, too. Christine Schwab has been bringing her niece, 20-year-old Brennan, for two years and says that the classes have improved her social and motor skills. “The coaches at RCIG were great at getting her to take the extra step — and to believe that she could,” Schwab says. “As a loved one, it’s amazing to see.” Jost adds the gym is a good place to meet other people facing similar challenges. “Even beyond the classes, there’s a deep sense of community and belonging.” she says. “Vigo has made a lot of little friends, and it’s an opportunity to meet other parents. It’s a place we can all go and just be ourselves.” 54. What do we know about the RCIG from the text? A. It’s popular mostly with young people B. It has been expanding around the country. C. It was built on Patterson Avenue in 2016. D. It is intended for people with special needs. 55. What is the gym good at according to Christine Schwab? A. Getting along well with the participants. B. Developing the participants’ confidence. C. Teaching the participants to set right goals. D. Bringing the participants closer together. 56. How does Vigo benefit from joining the gym according to Jost? A. He has better social life. B. He gets physically stronger. C. He becomes much smarter. D. He is able to keep focused. Ⅱ.七选五 Passage 1 (2023-2024学年高一上·贵州毕节·期末)How can English be learned well? In my view, keeping up with teachers is a good way. Teachers are experienced and their plans are effective. But remember to work in a way that suits you. 1 Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make —it’ll help you avoid making the same ones later. The school life may be hard, but you’re not alone. You may be busy studying, but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages. 2 It’s as important to live well as it is to study well. Going to bed no later than 11: 30 pm is important. 3 You needn’t follow a special diet, but make sure you are eating healthy meals each day. 4 Having a lot of schoolwork doesn’t mean having to quit other activities. Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself. Time out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently. Besides taking the College Entrance Examination, you have other choices for college. 5 Pay attention to the useful information you can find, whether it’s from school, the news media or other sources. A. Don’t let your friendships die. B. Your friends are good for your study. C. If you took notes in class, re-read them. D. The person who plays well studies well. E. It puts you in the right state for the next day. F. Some students even apply for studying abroad. G. It’s important to learn from past mistakes as well. Passage 2 (2023-2024学年高一上·河北邯郸·期末)It may be difficult to start high school. 6 But never fear! Here are some suggestions for you to adapt to the change. Do conduct research on the school through the school’s website. Check out the school’s grading policies, activities, and deadlines (for programs, curricula, etc.) before you move. If you’ve got that covered, you may choose to begin looking at school scholarships(奖学金) or competitions. 7 Do visit the school before your first day of school. Most schools offer some kind of open house for newcomers to learn about the school’s academic(学术的) and curricular offerings. 8 . Attending it can also help you find out a lot about the school’s academic atmosphere(氛围) and environment. Do start looking into clubs and extra-curricular activities right away. 9 Once you’ve gone through the school’s clubs and found a few that interest you, attend all the clubs you found yourself drawn to. The purpose of attending these first club meetings is simply to gain a sense of the extra-curricular environment at your school, and see what activities you may find yourself enjoying. 10 . Many students make the mistake of setting out to achieve the highest grades at their new school. It is true that your grades are very important, but make sure that you spend a good deal of your time interacting with other students and ensuring that you’ll have some healthy relationships and networks with others. A social network will offer you the support and fun you need during high school. A. Don’t forget to turn to teachers and other students. B. Don’t build up your academics at the cost of your social life. C. Many students are afraid of the changes that high school can bring. D. Remember that you’re strengthening yourself for future life changes. E. Find out a club list as early as possible to dig out the clubs that interest you. F. This will make you prepared for applying to or signing up for those programs. G. You can learn some basic information about the school through the open house. Passage 3 (2023-2024学年高一上·广东茂名·期末)Students at a university in Anhui Province will probably not receive their diplomas (毕业文凭) if they fail a fitness test. 11 This rule has caused hot discussion. According to the plan, the new rule will come into force soon. And if students fail to pass the fitness tests, they won’t get their diplomas. However, it is not a one-time test like gaokao. Students who fail the tests of graduation will be given another chance. He can take the test for a second time. 12 Do you think it is the only university doing so? No! If students want to enter Tsinghua University, they also have to be able to swim. 13 And they must pass a swimming test after school begins. Tsinghua University will ask the students to learn swimming and will organize a swimming test for all new students in September. If students fail to swim as long as at least 50 metres, they will have to take the swimming course throughout their studies. And of course, students are also reminded to learn and practise swimming safely. They will be able to swim by the time they graduate, or the university won’t give them diplomas. 14 But some just stay in the classroom all day long. Few students take exercise even if they are free. They need to do some exercise to keep themselves healthy. Swimming is also a survival skill. 15 Any student who wants to enter Tsinghua University, remember, swimming is your necessary skill. A. Or they will prepare to learn swimming. B. But they must do a warm-up before the test. C. University students are encouraged to do more exercise after class. D. It does no harm to people at all and is the correct sport for students. E. And if they fail again, they will have to take the test even after graduation. F. Although swimming is an overall activity, it may cause some problems. G. The test has running, standing long jump and some other sports activities. Passage 4 (2023-2024学年高一上·安徽宿州·阶段练习)If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade. Even though revising things you already learned might seem boring, you’ll feel a lot more comfortable with the material. 16 Study in 1-hour blocks. Keep your study time shorter so you don’t get tired. Set aside (留出) an hour for each of your subjects so you have time to revise them. 17 In this way, you don’t get information mixed up between classes. 18 Step away for a few minutes every hour so you don’t feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour where you just relax. Avoid working through the breaks. Schedule time to study every day. Try to set aside a regular time to go over notes for class. 19 So, you’re able to focus a little better. If you can, try to plan the same time every day so you can get into a regular routine(惯例). Work somewhere quiet. 20 Avoid studying in a room with other loud people or distractions since it’ll be hard to focus and remember the material. Instead, go into your room and shut the door, or find a quiet spot at the school library where you can sit. A. Plan regular breaks. B. Revise your notes in your own words. C. Only focus on one subject at a time during each block. D. Find a time when you feel the most energetic to study. E. We’ll start by looking at some tips on forming the best study habits! F. Find a place where you won’t have trouble concentrating on the material. G. If you live with others, ask them to be quiet when you plan your study time. Passage 5 (2023-2024学年高一上·四川眉山·期末) How to Deal with Your Homework Write it down. 21 . Make a note on your notebook. Always remember to write down any homework for school so you won’t forget anything. Create a homework station. Find a comfortable and quiet place to work. 22 . It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, power off your computer and close the door. Do it as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute. 23 . The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can. Then you won’t have a pile of homework the next day. 24 . Think about how long it will take you to finish each homework subject. For example: English — ten minutes, science — ten minutes, math — forty minutes, Chinese — twenty minutes, etc. Relax yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break. Just make sure it’s quick (no more than 15 minutes). Do not turn on the cell phone, or you’ll never go back and finish your homework. 25 . A. Start with your hardest homework. B. You can take a walk or find something to eat. C. Start as soon as you get home. D. Never do your homework in front of the TV. E. Use your time in a proper way. F.

One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that. That year we had to present four oral book reports in front of the class. Some of the kids were even glad to do it, but I was frightened to death. Mr. Bamick recognized my fear, so he told me to do a report on a book that was about something that really interested me. So I did the first report on baseball. When it came time for me to present it to the class, Mr. Bamick cut me some slack and let me read the report rather than present it from memory. Some of my classmates laughed at me for the presentation, but Mr. Bamick encouraged me. By the end of the year I had completed all four of the oral book reports. It wasn’t easy or comfortable for me, but I did it. Years later I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade. One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament(锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match. Some of these are carried live on television and all of them are before thousands of people. It’s still not one of my favorite things to do, but, with Mr. Bamick’s help, I get through it from time to time. Before long, I was asked to bring my favorite childhood teacher to a national event in Dallas. I was excited when Mr. Bamick joined me for the event. It meant a lot to me that he was there. We all need heroes in our lives. They can be role models or they can be important persons in our world. Mr. Bamick believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. It was he who helped me build the person I became. 10. In what aspect did Mr. Bamick help the author? A. Improving her learning skills. B. Winning her classmates’ trust. C. Encouraging her to read more books. D. Overcoming her fear of public speaking. 11. What does the underlined part “cut me some slack” mean in paragraph 2? A. Played a funny joke on the author. B. Gave the author a feeling of pride. C. Made the task slightly easy for the author. D. Asked the author to take part in a competition. 12. What can we infer about the author? A. She is a spokesperson. B. She is a tennis player. C. She wants to be a teacher. D. She enjoys commenting on books. 13. What can be the best title for the text? A. My best oral book report. B. A typical kid in primary school. C. My favorite childhood teacher. D. An unforgettable national event. 【答案】10. D 11. C 12. B 13. C 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述了作者在六年级时因为害怕在众人面前讲话而感到困扰，但他的老师Mr. Bamick帮助他克服了这一恐惧，并成为他生命中的英雄。文章通过讲述Mr. Bamick如何鼓励作者完成口头报告的经历，展现了老师对学生成长的重要影响。 10. 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that.(当我上小学的时候，我其实有点害羞。有一件事让我非常害怕，那就是在很多人面前讲话，无论是陌生人还是熟人。是我六年级的老师巴米克先生帮我克服了这个困难)”可知，Mr. Bamick帮助作者克服对公开演讲的恐惧。故选D项。 11. 词句猜测题。根据后文“let me read the report rather than present it from memory.(让我朗读报告，而不是凭记忆做报告)”可知，是让作者做报告更容易一些，所以推知cut me some slack是“使作者的任务稍微容易一些。”之意。故选C项。 12. 推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the opportunities I get when I win a tennis tournament (锦标赛) is to make comments to the fans who attend the match.(当我赢得网球锦标赛时，我得到的一个机会是向观看比赛的球迷发表评论)”可知，作者赢得网球锦标赛，推知她是一名网球运动员。故选B项 13. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was in primary school, I was actually a little shy. One thing that absolutely frightened me was speaking in front of many people, whether strangers or acquaintances. It was my sixth-grade teacher, Mr. Bamick, who helped me overcome that.(当我上小学的时候，我其实有点害羞。有一件事让我非常害怕，那就是在很多人面前讲话，无论是陌生人还是熟人。是我六年级的老师巴米克先生帮我克服了这个困难)”以及第三段“Years later I realized that Mr. Bamick had a great effect on me in sixth grade.(多年以后，我意识到巴米克先生在我六年级的时候对我有很大的影响)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了一位对作者影响很大的老师，所以C项“My favorite childhood teacher.(我童年最喜欢的老师)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 Passage 5 (2023-2024学年高一上·四川凉山·期末)When Jack was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. However, things turned out to be quite disappointing. The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon. On that afternoon, as the math teacher started to introduce difficult concepts(概念), dark clouds covered the sky, and the storm set in. Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention. No one grasped the concepts. Except for Jack. He understood them and answered all the questions correctly. The teacher patted him on the back, and told him to go around to the others and explain how he had managed it. Encouraged by his newfound success, Jack moved quickly throughout the room. Soon math time was followed by the time for art. All children naturally drew dark pictures on such a day. Except for Jack. Since then, Jack started improving. Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Jack? On the day Jack graduated, he presented the teacher with his most precious possession—the picture of a bright yellow sun. On the picture Jack had written: This is the day I woke up to my brightness. 14. How might be Jack’s feeling before school started? A. disappointed B. confident C. worried D. calm 15. Why couldn’t the kids but Jack understand the concepts? A. Because they were not clever. B. Because math was too difficult. C. Because the teacher was too strict. D. Because they were attracted by the thunder. 16. What does the underlined phrase woke up to probably mean? A. became aware of B. come up with C. got close to D. made up for 17. What can we learn from Jack’s story? A. No one can predict one’s future. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. Being positive works in difficulties. D. Though you work hard, you might fail. 【答案】14. B 15. D 16. A 17. C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Jack的成绩一直不好。一场雷雨却改变了Joe的学习轨迹。在别的同学不能集中注意力的情况下，Jack却掌握了老师讲的所有的概念，于是老师鼓励他给同学们讲解他是如何做到这一点的。在一个阴雨天，Jack却看到了希望的阳光，而充满阳光的画也成了他最珍贵的记忆。 14. 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“When Jack was about to start school, all signs pointed to success. (当杰克即将开始上学时，一切迹象都表明他会成功。)”推知，开学前Jack是自信的。故选B。 15. 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Though she tried hard to make the kids concentrate, the thunder won the battle for their attention.  No one grasped the concepts.  Except for Jack. (尽管她努力让孩子们集中注意力，但雷声还是赢得了他们的注意力。没有人理解这些概念。除了杰克。)”可知，因为孩子们被雷吸引了，所以他们不能理解这些概念。故选D。 16. 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“the picture of a bright yellow sun (一幅画着一个明亮的黄色太阳的画)”和划线词后的“my brightness(我的光明)”可知，woke up to my brightness意思是“意识到我的光明”或“知道我的光明”。A. became aware of意识到，知道；B. come up with想出；C. got close to接近；D. made up for弥补。故选A。 17. 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“The fourth grade even found him at the bottom of the class. Jack struggled day and night, but it did not work—until one stormy afternoon. (四年级的时候，他甚至在班里垫底。杰克夜以继日地努力，但没有奏效，直到一个狂风暴雨的下午。)”和倒数第二段中“Since then, Jack started improving.  Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always amazed and curious about the change (从那以后，杰克开始进步。虽然他从未做到最好，但他的数学老师总是对他的变化感到惊讶和好奇)”推知，积极面对困难是有用的。故选C。 Passage 6 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖南张家界·期末)As an engineer, I have designed electronic control systems for more than 30 years, and I had expected to do so until I retired(退休). My wife, Krisztina Valter, is a scientist. One year, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of biology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention. Jochen Zeil, a professor who studies animal behaviour, presented a model of how insects could work out a way to go to a target despite having small brains. At lunchtime, my wife introduced us. Zeil and I had a very enjoyable discussion about his idea and biology. When we parted, I joked that if he wanted another PhD student, he could count me in. About a month later he e-mailed me: “Haven’t heard from you. Have you enrolled(登记入学) yet?”And that’s how, at the age of 53, I became a part-time doctoral student in biology. My background in biology had been out of date for many years, so I needed to learn the basics fast. It was not easy, but I got a lot of help from other laboratory members and my wife. The more I learnt, the more I realized how little I knew. Every paper caused the need to read more. It was tiring, and at times disappointing, but brought a lot of fun. You read, think, and suddenly things fall into place. Now, at the age of 61, this period is nearly at an end. New knowledge enriches(充实) you, regardless of how old you are. My advice is that if you have the opportunity to enter a new field, take it. 18. What attracted the author’s interest at the scientific activity? A. A latest electronic control system. B. A speaker sharing his hobbies in retirement. C. A speech about small insects’ living habits. D. A model showing insects’ smart behaviour. 19. What can we infer from the email mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Zeil took the author’s joke seriously. B. Zeil found the author’s talent in biology. C. The author was recommended by his wife. D. The author needed help with the application. 20. How does the author find his experience of learning biology? A. Fun and relaxing B. Tiring and painful. C. Challenging but interesting. D. Boring but educational. 21. What is the author’s purpose in sharing his story? A. To tell us it’s never too late to learn. B. To show the importance of getting a degree. C. To encourage us to develop a love for science. D. To remind us sometimes we need to stop to reflect. 【答案】18. D 19. A 20. C 21. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在五十多岁的时候因为偶然的机遇进入到一个全新的学科领域(生物学)进行学习研究，成为博士生并完成学业的故事。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，想要学习，什么时候都不算晚。 18. 细节理解题。根据第一段“One year, she went to a scientific activity with me. Most knowledge of biology went over my head, but one speaker attracted my attention.

On September 1, he set a Guinness World Record for the world’s longest teaching career. Mr. Durietz has been teaching for 53 years — since he was 23 years old. When he was just 11, Mr. Durietz says, he made up his mind to be a social studies teacher. Social studies is the study of history, and how people, countries, and cultures are connected. He became interested in history after hearing stories from his father, who fought in World War II. Mr. Durietz got his first teaching job at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee, Illinois in 1970. Ever since then, he’s been teaching social studies at the same school. He says he loves sharing his knowledge of history with students. “Teaching is never boring,” he says. “Every day is different.” Things have changed a lot since Mr. Durietz first began teaching. When he started, he wrote on a blackboard with chalk, and the students used paper textbooks. These days, he and the students use computers and digital whiteboards. Despite this, Mr. Durietz says the students are still pretty much the same — except that now they have cell phones. With or without technology, Mr. Durietz has used creative activities to help his students learn. For example, he has organized virtual field trips, geography contests, and special days about the US Civil War. He has even organized elections at school to help his students learn about politics. Mr. Durietz wasn’t really trying to set a record. But his family, friends, and the people he works with encouraged him to apply to Guinness to see if he’d set a record. He had. Now he still has no plans to retire any time soon. “Keep working on what I love to do in life,” he says. 22. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce Guinness world Records. B. To inspire readers to create records. C. To recognize teachers’ contribution. D. To report a record-setting teacher. 23. What has changed greatly in Mr. Durietz’s teaching career? A. Teaching equipment. B. Students’ attitudes. C. His love of teaching. D. Classroom activities. 24. Why will Mr. Durietz continue his work? A. He wants to keep his world record. B. He is devoted to his beloved career. C. He enjoys overcoming difficulties. D. He is persuaded to keep working. 25. What message does the text convey? A. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. B. Success comes to those who never give up. C. Greatness can be achieved in ordinary jobs. D. It takes combined efforts to realize a dream. 【答案】22. D 23. A 24. B 25.

They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B⁺, compared to a B⁻ for those who did not. “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who'd done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test fear and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these tests.” But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 26. What do the students start worrying about before an exam? A. Whether they can pass the exam. B. What other students do during the test. C. Whether they have remembered the materials. D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper. 27. What is the solution developed by researchers? A. Making the students focused on the test. B. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test. C. Having the students write about their worries about the test. D. Asking the students to direct the attention away from the test. 28. According to Professor Beilock, those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________. A. became less nervous before the test B. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings C. were better at controlling their feelings D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings 29. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A. writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit B. we can only write about our worries right before an exam C. the best place to write about our worries is in the test room before an exam D. it doesn’t matter where and when we write about our worries before an exam 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. B 29. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，在考试前写下自己对考试的担忧可以缓解考前焦虑，提高考试成绩。文章对此进行了介绍。 26. 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“The students start worrying about the results.(学生们开始担心考试结果。)”可知，学生在考试之前会开始担心是否能通过考试。故选A。 27. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(贝洛克教授和另一位研究员赫拉尔多·拉米雷斯提出了一种可能的解决方案。考试前，高度焦虑的考生会花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧。)”可知，研究人员开发的解决方案是让学生写下他们对考试的担忧。故选C。 28. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.(研究人员在一组20名焦虑的大学生身上测试了这个想法。他们给了他们两个简短的数学测试。在第一次测试之后，他们要求学生们要么安静地坐着，要么写下他们对即将到来的第二次测试的感受。)”和第四段前两句“Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%.(贝洛克教授说，那些安静地坐着的学生在第二次测试中的平均得分要低12%。但是那些写下自己恐惧的学生的成绩平均提高了5%。)”可知，根据贝洛克教授的说法，那些思考与测试无关的事情的人比那些写下自己感受的人表现得更差。故选B。 29. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.(但是，如果学生没有机会在考试前立即写下他们的恐惧呢？贝洛克教授说，学生们可以在家里或图书馆自己尝试，仍然可以提高他们的成绩。)”可知，在考试前，我们在何时何地写下我们的担忧并不重要。故选D。 Passage 9 (2023-2024学年高一上·山东青岛·期末)Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 30. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online? A. It has been widely accepted. B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips. C. It provides various online courses. D. It requires parents to help with check-ins. 31. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education? A. The development. B. The concerns. C. The advantages. D. The popularity. 32. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________. A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved B. local schooling systems are not fully developed C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education 33. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. 【答案】30. C 31. B 32. C 33. A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。 30. 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people.

In the United States and most of Europe, self-defense is not taught at schools. Yes, schools have after-school clubs with trainers from both inside and outside the school using the gyms and classroom to teach a big range of martial arts, but schools very rarely have it on their curriculum, let alone as a main subject. But after new research that shows that obesity(肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline(自律). Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem(自尊). Through the arts, students can develop discipline, and cultivate respect for different cultures-something even more important than ever before in our increasingly divided societies. Martial arts also strengthen muscles,improves flexibility and balance. Everyone knows that with better physical health, come better, happier lives. However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified(合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge. They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory(强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo(武术馆) to find out. But to bring it to everyone you need experienced trainers who can teach the martial arts without fear of mishap(不幸事故) or physical damage. 38. What’s the topic of this text? A. What martial arts are. B. Whether martial arts should be on school curriculum. C. Who should teach martial arts as a main subject at school. D. How martial arts work for schools. 39. Why should martial arts be added into the curriculum? A. Self-defense is not taught at schools. B. Obesity levels are still rising fast in the world. C. It provides physical and mental benefits. D. It can help prevent physical damage. 40. What are the “chicken” and the “egg” in the “a chicken and egg situation” in the last paragraph? A. Building a dojo and finding the trainers.. B. Teaching martial arts and the physical damage. C. Lack of trainers and the fear of mishap. D. Lack of trainers and no compulsory curriculum of martial arts. 41. What is the author’s attitude towards adding martial arts to the curriculum? A. Unclear. B. Uninterested. C. Disliking. D. Negative. 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. D 41. A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是武术是否应该被列入学校的主要课程。 38. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Should martial arts be part of the school curriculum (课程)?(武术应该成为学校课程的一部分吗？)”可知，本文主要的话题是武术是否应该列入学校课程。故选B。 39. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Martial arts provide not just a physical work out, but also a chance to develop self-defense skills while training both the body and mind to be disciplined and mindful. Studies have shown that there is a significant connection between practicing martial arts and self-esteem (自尊).(武术不仅提供了一种身体锻炼，而且还提供了一个发展自卫技能的机会，同时训练身体和心灵自律和警觉。研究表明，练习武术和自尊之间存在着重要的联系)”可知，把武术加入课程是因为它对身体和精神都有好处。故选C。 40. 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“They believe it is a chicken and egg situation, where without compulsory (强制的) curriculum of martial arts, those who are good at it may never find themselves in a dojo (武术馆) to find out.(他们认为这是一个先有鸡还是先有蛋的情况，没有必修的武术课程，那些擅长武术的人可能永远不会在武术馆)”可知，chicken和egg是缺乏训练师，没有必修的武术课程。故选D。 41. 推理判断题。根据第二段“But after new research that shows that obesity (肥胖) levels are still rising in the first world at a surprising rate, some are suggesting that martial arts may help fight obesity, and also help children become better adapted to the wider world in terms of self-defense and discipline (自律).(但一项新的研究表明，第一世界的肥胖水平仍在以惊人的速度上升，一些人认为，武术可能有助于对抗肥胖，也有助于孩子们在自卫和自律方面更好地适应更广阔的世界)”和最后一段“However, some have been keen to point out that yes, martial arts in every school would be great, but finding those who are trained and qualified (合格的) to teach martial arts could probably prove to be challenge.(然而，一些人敏锐地指出，是的，每个学校开武术课很棒，但是找到那些受过训练并有资格教授武术的人可能会被证明是一个挑战)”可知，本文只是客观陈述人们对武术是否该成为学校课程的不同观点，并没有表明自己的观点，所以作者对在课程中增加武术的态度是不清楚的。故选A。 Passage 12 (2023-2024学年高一上·江西新余·期末)I ask every student I interview for admission to my institution, Pitzer College, the same question, “What do you look forward to the most in college?” I was stunned and delighted recently when a student sat across from me and replied, “I look forward to the possibility of failure.” Of course, this is not how most students respond to the question when sitting before the person who can make decisions about their academic futures, but this young man took a risk. “You see, my parents have never let me fail,” he said. “When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more rigorous course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. Even the sacrifice of staying up late to do something unrelated to school, they see it as a risk to my academic work and college success.” Kids all over the world admit they are under tremendous pressure to be perfect. So students are usually in shock when I chuckle and tell them I never expect perfection. How could a dean of admission at one of America’s most selective institutions not want the best and the brightest? The reality is (that) perfection doesn’t exist. I’ve spent enough time in high schools to know teenagers will never be perfect. They do silly things, mess up, fall down, and lack confidence. The ability to bounce back is a fundamental life skill students have to learn on their own. The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. During my weekend of interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed precalculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I’m now taking calculus, and even though I don’t love it, I’m glad I pushed through!” I asked him what he learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success. I also learned that if you want anything bad enough, you can achieve it.” I smiled as I wrote his words down on the application-review form. This kid will thrive on my campus. Not only will the faculty love him, but he has the coping skills he needs to adjust to the rigors of life in a residential college setting. Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. 42. What does the underlined word “rigorous” in the first paragraph mean? A. fun B. lively C. strict D. special 43. What can we learn from the student mentioned in paragraph 3? A. Teachers can help students to admit failure. B. Parents define their children’s success by grades. C. Teenagers get lessons of failure through experiences. D. Young people spend enough time letting go of shame. 44. Why did the author smile as he wrote the student’s words down on the application-review form? A. Because the college teachers would love the student for his perfection. B. Because he succeeded in persuading the student into the college. C. Because the student realized his dream of being a perfect person. D. Because he thought the student would have a promising future. 45. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Learn to Fail B. Live to Learn C. Try to Succeed D. Decide to Experience 【答案】42. C 43. C 44. D 45. A 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者是大学的面试官，但是从不会期待学生做得过于完美，因为作者认为有失败经历的申请才是真实的，一位面试者的自述和作者提及的一个学生也表明学生也应该从失败中获益。 42. 词句猜测题。由第一段中“When I want to take a chance at something, they remind me it’s not a safe route to take. Taking a more rigorous course or trying an activity I may not succeed in, they tell me, will ruin my chances at college admission. (当我想在某件事上碰碰运气时，他们提醒我这不是一条安全的路。他们告诉我，参加一门更rigorous课程或尝试一项我可能不会成功的活动，都会毁掉我大学录取的机会)”可知，这个学生想碰运气去获得成功，其父母却告诫他这么做会毁掉大学录取的机会，比如尝试一项自己可能不会成功的活动会毁掉大学录取的机会，Taking a more rigorous course应与trying an activity I may not succeed呼应，可得出碰运气去参加一门更严格的课程可能会让这个学生大学录取失败，画线词意为“严格的(strict)”。故选C项。 43. 推理判断题。由第三段中“The lessons of failure can’t be taught in a classroom; they are experienced and reflected upon. (失败的教训不能在课堂上教授；它们需要经历和反思)”和“During my weekend of interviews, another student told me, “I’m ashamed to admit I failed precalculus, but I decided to take it again and got a B-plus. I’m now taking calculus, and even though I don’t love it, I’m glad I pushed through!” I asked him what he learned from the experience. “I learned to let go of shame,” he said. “I realized that I can’t let a grade define my success. I also learned that if you want anything bad enough, you can achieve it.”(在我周末的面试中，另一名学生告诉我，“我很惭愧地承认我的微积分考试不及格，但我决定再考一次，并获得了B+。我现在正在学习微积分，尽管我不喜欢它，但我很高兴我成功了！”我问他从这次经历中学到了什么。“我学会了放下羞耻，”他说。“我意识到，我不能让分数来定义我的成功。我还学到，如果你想要足够糟糕的东西，你就能实现。”)”可知，作者认为失败的教训不能在课堂上教授，它是通过经历和反思才能获得的，作者提到的学生微积分考试不及格后再考成绩不错，这个学生还从这次失败的经历中获益良多，说明青少年从经验中吸取失败的教训。故选C项。 44. 推理判断题。由最后一段中“This kid will thrive on my campus. Not only will the faculty love him, but he has the coping skills he needs to adjust to the rigors of life in a residential college setting. (这个孩子会在我的校园里茁壮成长的。教员们不仅会喜欢他，而且他有应对能力，能够适应寄宿大学环境中的严酷生活)”可推知，作者在申请审查表上写下学生的话时面带微笑，是因为他认为这个学生在校园里会茁壮成长、受老师喜爱、有优点，这个学生会前途光明。故选D项。 45. 主旨大意题。通读全文和最后一段中“Failure is about growth, learning, overcoming, and moving on. Let’s allow young people to fail. Not only will they learn something, it might even get them into college. (失败关乎成长、学习、克服和继续前进。让我们允许年轻人失败。他们不仅会学到一些东西，甚至可能进入大学)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者是大学的面试官，但是从不会期待学生做得过于完美，因为作者认为有失败经历的申请才是真实的，一位面试者的自述和作者提及的一个学生也表明学生也应该从失败中获益，作者最想告诉我们的是学生要从对失败的积极态度中受益，A项“学会失败”符合文意。故选A项。 Passage 13 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖北·期末)“My favorite thing about hiking is that I get to work out my legs,” said Skylar, a six-year-old camper. “And I get to see the view!” Skylar is one of twenty kids participating in the week-long Gross Out Camp, a summer program hosted at parks and outdoor spaces across Alabama. “This is kids’ natural habitat out here in the woods,” said Verna Gates, who started Gross Out Camp 14 years ago. As schools begin again across Alabama, most students are returning to days spent in indoor classrooms, but some will continue to learn and play outside, even while at school. It’s part of a growing movement to teach kids in nature and help them connect with their environment. In recent years, at least three nature preschools, or forest schools, have opened across Alabama. They operate almost entirely outside. “It seems like a very foreign concept, especially when we first described it to people,” said Sarah Crim, director of the Woodland Wonders Nature Preschool in Auburn. “But it’s great, and it works.” In this forest school, students learn knowledge from every activity. The class might discover a turtle walking along the forest floor at the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center, where the school is located. That presents an opportunity for students to talk about the animal’s shape and color, and write about their discovery. After starting Woodland Wonders in 2019, Crim said word spread quickly. The school has since added classes and programs for older kids, but they can’t keep up with demand. It’s a similar case at Little Mountain Forest School in Huntsvillem, where kids learn and play at Monte Sano State Park. Co-founder and co-director Beth Barry said that both kids and parents love the natural space. Fellow co-founder and co-director Sarah Callaway said the most common question is about the weather. They spend a lot of time reviewing proper clothing, because students are outside rain or shine. “As a forest school parent, it can be a pain in the behind to have to deal with your muddy and wet kid,” Callaway said. “But the kids love it. Those are some of the best days.” 46. What is Gross Out Camp? A. It’s a summer program for outdoor enthusiasts in Alabama. B. It’s a summer program that teaches kids about the environment. C. It’s a summer program for students returning to indoor classrooms. D. It’s a summer program for kids to participate in outdoor activities. 47. What is the main focus of forest schools in Alabama? A. Teaching kids about the weather and proper clothing. B. Providing opportunities for outdoor play and learning. C. Offering programs to older kids in the natural space. D. Advocating a connection with the environment. 48. What is the attitude of parents to Woodland Wonders? A. Tolerant B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Mild 49. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in paragraph 6? A. Students. B. Parents. C. Callaway and her workmates. D. Weather reporters. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个户外暑期项目Gross Out Camp，这个项目为孩子提供在户外玩耍和学习的机会，受到了学生和家长的喜爱。 46. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Skylar is one of twenty kids participating in the week-long Gross Out Camp, a summer program hosted at parks and outdoor spaces across Alabama.(Skylar是参加为期一周的“外出露营”的20个孩子之一，这是一个在阿拉巴马州的公园和户外场所举办的夏季项目)”可知，Gross Out Camp是一个让孩子们参加户外活动的暑期项目。故选D。 47. 细节理解题。根据第二段“As schools begin again across Alabama, most students are returning to days spent in indoor classrooms, but some will continue to learn and play outside, even while at school. It’s part of a growing movement to teach kids in nature and help them connect with their environment.(随着阿拉巴马州的学校重新开学，大多数学生都回到了室内教室，但有些人甚至在学校也会继续在室外学习和玩耍。这是一个不断发展的运动的一部分，教孩子们在大自然中学习，帮助他们与环境建立联系)”可知，阿拉巴马州森林学校的主要重点是提供户外玩耍和学习的机会。故选B。 48. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Co-founder and co-director Beth Barry said that both kids and parents love the natural space.(联合创始人兼联合主管贝丝·巴里说，孩子和父母都喜欢这个自然空间)”可知，家长对林地奇观的态度是支持。故选C。 49. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Fellow co-founder and co-director Sarah Callaway said the most common question is about the weather.(联合创始人兼联合主管Sarah Callaway表示，最常见的问题是天气)”以及后文“spend a lot of time reviewing proper clothing, because students are outside rain or shine”可知，Sarah Callaway是创始人，因此这里指Sarah Callaway和她的项目同事花了很多时间检查合适的服装，因为学生下雨或出太阳都在外面。故划线词指的是“Callaway和她的同事”。故选C。 Passage 14 (2023-2024学年高一上·福建南平·期末)In many adults, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) as early as age 30 and become worse in their mid-60s, which is shown in tests of cognitive(认知的) abilities. These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning. However, a three-month study Rachel Wu and her partners designed suggests that this decline can be addressed. In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger. The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term. “Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing. 50. What leads to the decline in cognitive abilities? A. Age-related diseases. B. Slower processing speed. C. Too many holiday breaks. D. Fewer learning experiences. 51. How did Rachel Wu and her partners conduct their research? A. By doing surveys. B. By arranging interviews. C. By searching documents. D. By making comparisons. 52. What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A. Learning contributes to physical improvement. B. Taking classes is key to cognitive development. C. Positive learning environments should be created. D. Older adults need to practice their language skills. 53. What’s the author’s attitude toward the study? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Worried. 【答案】50. D 51. D 52. C 53. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述一项研究发现，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴设计的一项为期三个月的研究表明，成年人学习能力和思维能力的下降是可以通过继续学习和练习新技能得以解决。 50. 细节理解题。根据第二段“These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning.(这些变化通常被认为是正常老化的结果。但它们可能更像是一些学生在暑假学习过程中经历的‘夏季滑坡’”。在正规教育和职业培训结束后，许多成年人经历了多年的学习机会减少。)”可知，人们通常认为正常老化导致了认知能力的下降，但是这种下降和学生在暑假学习过程中经历的“夏季滑坡”很相似，许多成年人在正规教育和职业培训结束后，学习的机会减少才是导致了认知能力的下降的原因。故选D。 51. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger.(在这项研究中，他们为24名年龄在58到86岁之间的老年人提供了一个令人鼓舞的学习环境。之前和之后，他们测试了认知能力。这些老年人报名参加了至少三个每周一次的学习班，学习新技能，比如画画、使用iPad和学习西班牙语。在此期间，成年人的记忆认知得分有了很大的提高，一年后他们的认知能力与年轻50岁的成年人相似。)”可知，在这项研究中24名年龄在58到86岁之间的老年人报名参加了至少三个每周一次的学习班来学习新技能，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴对老年人学习之前和学习之后的认知能力进行测试，发现通过学习这些人的记忆认知得分有了很大的提高；由此可知，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴通过对老年人学习前后的认知能力测试结果进行了对比来开展研究。故选D。 52. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term.(需要明确的是，研究人员并不认为正规教育是支持学习的唯一或最重要的方式。他们的想法是为老年人创造一个鼓舞人心的环境，这样他们就可以长期提高现实世界的技能和认知能力。)”可知，正规教育唯一或最重要的学习方式，应该为老年人创造鼓励他们学习的环境，才能长期提高现实世界的技能和认知能力；由此可知，应该为老年人创造一个积极的学习环境。故选C。 53. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. (该团队仍在调查为什么他们的认知分数在项目结束后继续攀升，但一种可能性是，这一经历鼓励了这些成年人继续学习和练习新技能。)”以及最后一段““Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing.(俗话说：“用进废退。”让我们把关于成年人的话题从避免失去和衰退，或者保持人们所拥有的，转向学习和成长。)”可知，作者认为这项研究鼓励了这些成年人继续学习和练习新技能，成年人应该学习和成长，而不是避免失去和衰退，或者保持现状；由此可知，作者对这项研究是持支持态度的。故选B。 Passage 15 (2023-2024学年高一上·湖南长沙·期末)Three years ago, Jasminka Jost was looking for a place for her young son, Vigo, to be active. She had tried playing soccer, but Vigo, who has autism (孤独症), had trouble focusing on the game. Jost needed a safe space for Vigo with coaches who specialized in meeting his needs. That’s when friends referred Jost and her family to the River City Inclusive Cym (RCIG), which offers workout classes for children, teens and adults with disabilities. The gym has been in operation since 2016, renting space in a traditional gymnastics gym before moving to its current location on Patterson Avenue in April 2022. There’re six hour —long classes per day from Monday through Saturday, each with a maximum of seven attendees and each featuring one coach per participant. “Our classes consist of an obstacle course,” says Mike McGrath, the founder of RCIG. “There’re four different sections of the gym, and we spend 15 minutes in each section. There’re monkey bars, swings, ropes for climbing and swinging, slides ropes for climbing and swinging, slides, and more. That can sound frightening, but we start from where they’re comfortable. If they just need to touch the rope at first, that’s OK, but our goal is to gradually build their skill level and participation.” Vigo, now 6 years old, looks forward to classes every week. There’re classes far older kids and young adults, too. Christine Schwab has been bringing her niece, 20-year-old Brennan, for two years and says that the classes have improved her social and motor skills. “The coaches at RCIG were great at getting her to take the extra step — and to believe that she could,” Schwab says. “As a loved one, it’s amazing to see.” Jost adds the gym is a good place to meet other people facing similar challenges. “Even beyond the classes, there’s a deep sense of community and belonging.” she says. “Vigo has made a lot of little friends, and it’s an opportunity to meet other parents. It’s a place we can all go and just be ourselves.” 54. What do we know about the RCIG from the text? A. It’s popular mostly with young people B. It has been expanding around the country. C. It was built on Patterson Avenue in 2016. D. It is intended for people with special needs. 55. What is the gym good at according to Christine Schwab? A. Getting along well with the participants. B. Developing the participants’ confidence. C. Teaching the participants to set right goals. D. Bringing the participants closer together. 56. How does Vigo benefit from joining the gym according to Jost? A. He has better social life. B. He gets physically stronger. C. He becomes much smarter. D. He is able to keep focused. 【答案】54. D 55. B 56. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了RCIG是为残疾儿童、青少年和成年人提供锻炼课程，并介绍了训练课程和方式。534. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That’s when friends referred Jost and her family to the River City Inclusive Cym (RCIG), which offers workout classes for children, teens and adults with disabilities. (就在那时，朋友们把Jost和她的家人介绍给了River City Inclusive Cym(RCIG)，该组织为残疾儿童、青少年和成年人提供锻炼课程。)”可知，RCIG是面向有特殊需要的人。故选D。 55. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段Schwab说的话“The coaches at RCIG were great at getting her to take the extra step — and to believe that she could (RCIG的教练们非常善于让她迈出额外的一步，并相信她可以)”可知，Christine Schwab认为健身房擅长培养参与者的信心。故选B。 56. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Even beyond the classes, there’s a deep sense of community and belonging. (即使在课堂之外，也有一种深深的社区意识和归属感。)”可知，根据Jost的说法，Vigo加入健身房让他有更好的社交生活。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五 Passage 1 (2023-2024学年高一上·贵州毕节·期末)How can English be learned well? In my view, keeping up with teachers is a good way. Teachers are experienced and their plans are effective.

Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour where you just relax. (每小时休息几分钟，这样你就不会觉得工作过度。因为学习需要大量的精力和脑力，所以每小时安排5-10分钟的放松时间)”可知，本段主要强调了学习期间要每小时安排一次休息时间。选项A“Plan regular breaks.(计划有规律的休息时间)”符合该段主旨。故选A项。 19. 后文“So, you’re able to focus a little better. (这样你就能更好地集中注意力了)”提到了效果“更好地集中注意力”，且结合语境主题“Schedule time to study every day.(每天安排时间学习)”以及常识可推知，设空句应是讲述了一个集中注意力的时间。选项D“Find a time when you feel the most energetic to study.(找一个你觉得最有精力的时间学习)”提出了找出最有精力时间用来学习，符合语境。故选D项。 20. 根据主题句“Work somewhere quiet.(找个安静的地方学习)”可知，该段强调的是要有一个安静的学习环境，设空句作为该段首句应对该建议进行进一步的强调和解释。选项F“Find a place where you won’t have trouble concentrating on the material.(找一个能让你集中注意力在学习材料上的地方)”解释了安静的地方能让人集中注意力学习，符合语境。故选F项。 Passage 5 (2023-2024学年高一上·四川眉山·期末) How to Deal with Your Homework Write it down. 21 .
