“What do you mean by this phrase? It’s incorrect and adds nothing to the sentence. Omit (省略).” Professor Jones’s critical feedback on my paper hurt me when I first read it. I scanned his comments for a “Good job!” or “I love this idea,” but they were nowhere to be found.
Everyone likes warmth and encouragement, but purely positive affirmations (肯定) don’t communicate what can be improved. Research conducted on Character Lab Research Network finds that direct, useful feedback requiring students to revise their own work is more effective. For Professor Jones, this looked like a note at the end of another paper: “I’m sure things will improve as the term and year wear on.” However, feedback that does the work for a student—correcting a misspelled word, rewriting a sentence—can signal a teacher’s low expectations.
When kids see comments that suggest what needs to be changed, they come to realize they can do things on their own and become more independent learners. As a bonus, this kind of feedback lets students know that their teacher believes in them.
As for me, I was benedictory for Professor Jones’s pointed criticism which let me know that he took me seriously. He was expecting me to do better, and the detailed comments scrawled (潦草地写) on every page gave me the tools to improve. Teachers can add affirmations to their feedback as long as it’s not the only thing they’re doing.
Don’t confuse warmth with promoting a growth mindset. Being nice isn’t the same as showing someone you believe they can improve. So give detailed feedback that sets young people up to take charge of their own learning. For example, instead of rewriting a sentence, say: “This is a run-on sentence. Try reading it out loud and add punctuation in places where you naturally take a breath.” Ask worth-exploring questions that inspire students to think about their approach, then let them revise on their own. When it comes to writing, the easiest path isn’t always the best one.
24.How did the author initially feel about Professor Jones’s feedback?
A.Happy and motivated. B.Upset and disappointed.
C.Indifferent and unconcerned. D.Confident and encouraged.
25.What is the key aspect of effective feedback mentioned in the article?
A.It should be brief and to the point. B.It should be warm and encouraging.
C.It should be written at the end of the paper. D.It should be up to students to fix their own work.
26.What does the underlined word “benedictory” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Responsible. B.Generous. C.Regretful. D.Grateful.
27.What should teachers do when checking student’s paper according to the text?
A.Give students general praise. B.Rewrite sentences for students.
C.Provide students critical support. D.Show students corrected assignments.
C
Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.
Because humans are land animals, most of the Earth remains under-explored. Marine (海洋的) biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new initiative hopes to change this. Launched in London on April 27th, Ocean Census aims to discover 100, 000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade. It is backed by Nekton, a British marine-research institute, and the Nippon foundation, Japan’s biggest charitable foundation. Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29th, bound for the Barents Sea.
The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change. The second reason is technological. Marine biologist s find about 2, 000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting it can go faster.
Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents (喷口) on the sea bed. These days, such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. There are more practical benefits, too. Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.
28.Why is “Earth” an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun?
A.Its climate is changing rapidly. B.Humans have not explored much of it.
C.Most of its surface is covered by water. D.It hosts a large number of marine animals.
29.What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A.The rate of discovering new species won’t change.
B.The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs.
C.Climate change has a great impact on marine species.
D.Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean.
30.What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph?
A.It may result in a reduction in overfishing.
B.It may lead to the discovery of new drugs.
C.It may contribute to the advancement of technology.
D.It may prove the oceans are our life-support system.
31.What’s the best title for the text?
A.The Endangered Planet B.Reducing Sea Pollution: A Global Initiative
C.How to Protect the Oceans? D.The Misnamed Earth: Exploring the Ocean’s Secrets
D
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach. we learn.” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They are documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who are learning only for their own sake. But how children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer. They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” —a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors learning. The agents’ questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it’s emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.
32.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A.Seneca’s thinking is still applicable today. B.Better learners will become better teachers.
C.Human intelligence tends to grow with age. D.Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
33.What do we learn about Betty’s Brain?
A.It is a character in a popular animation. B.It is a teaching tool under development.
C.It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D.It is a tutor for computer science students.
34.What is the key factor that benefits student tutors’ learning?
A.Their sense of responsibility. B.The learning strategy acquired.
C.Their emotional involvement. D.The teaching experience gained.
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards student tutors’ learning?
A.Opposed B.Indifferent C.Ambiguous D.Favorable

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. Surely a child won’t have the patience to stare at something for long. 36 .
Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally. 37 . Each painting, sculpture, or photograph in art galleries tells a story, inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in? 38 . I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First, why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms? Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture? 39 . If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eye on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine.
40 . What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, “Who can guess the artist?” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.
A.Let them determine the pace
B.Make the art gallery fit in with your kids
C.Turning art into a game is another trick
D.The answer is to approach them with fresh eyes
E.It is a crying shame that they are least-visited attractions
F.It allows children opportunities to engage in diverse perspectives and cultures
G.It’s understandable to think of art galleries as anything but child-friendly places

As she 53 him the change, the man took her hand in both of his. “And he just said, ‘It’s gonna be OK.’ And for the first time in a long time, I felt like somebody was seeing my own 54 and I started to cry.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chilis (辣椒) weren’t always in China, says Brian Dott, a history professor at Whitman College and author of The Chile Pepper in China: A Cultural Biography. 56 (originate) in Central and South America, Capsicum plants were unknown in China until around the 16th Century, when a boom in 57 (explore) and trade brought chilis to the Chinese mainland.
The first 58 (write) record of chili in China 59 (date) from 1591 and it isn’t exactly a flood of positive reviews. Gao Lian, a playwright who lived near 60 is now Shanghai, wasn’t “all that excited about it as a condiment (调味品) or a medicine,” Dott says of his account. Instead, he used it as a decorative plant.
But while elite Chinese enjoyed chili peppers in their decorative gardens, the masses began eating and enjoying the hot plants. By 1765, local historians noted that chi is were used 61 (flavor) sauces, vinegar, savory oils, and preserved vegetables in Hunan. There’s even a recipe for a condiment reminding people of chili crisp in The Harmonious Cauldron, the 62 (early) Chinese culinary book to include chili peppers.
63 (like) other spices, chili peppers weren’t farmed and traded as commodities. Instead, they 64 (pass) from person to person and cultivated in small crops, says Dott, falling into the hands of skilled farmers who bred even better chilis overtime. These peppers—and the condiment made by frying them in oil—became must-have ingredients all over China, eventually filtering (渗透) to every level of society and becoming so universal 65 they were considered part of the nation’s identity.

Kiss marks on the mirror
Jessica, a clever cleaner, worked in an all-girls university.
One day, she was quietly doing one of her jobs—cleaning the bathroom—when she noticed a bunch of kiss marks on the mirror.
She got angry at the sight of it. But she decided not to dwell on her negative emotion and do something actionable instead. She was hopeful for the girls seemed smart and reasonable.She wiped away the kiss marks with cleaning cloth and a sponge and left instructions on a piece of paper: Please don’t leave kiss marks on the mirror. Lipstick stains(口红印) are difficult to clean.
The next day, Jessica went inside the bathroom to clean. But much to her disappointment,she saw a bunch of kiss marks on the mirror again. She got angry and went running to the principal’s office to report the incident. Upon learning of the incident, the principal got angry at the students. He gave them a strong warning to not leave kiss marks on the bathroom’s mirror. Jessica overheard the principal when he scolded the students. She felt relieved. She figured the girls wouldn’t leave kiss marks on the mirror again. She was wrong.
The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. When she went inside the bathroom,she found kiss marks on the mirror. Worse, there were more of them compared to the ones she found during the previous days. Angrily, she stormed out of the bathroom and went straight to the principal’s office. She was mad at the girls for their stubbornness and also at the principal for not punishing the girls’actions.“The girls are hard-headed. Based on experience, they don’t easily follow my orders. Wait it out. They’ll grow out of this,” said the principal.
Rather than say things out of anger and things that would probably get her fired, Jessica walked out to get some fresh air, and then back to the bathroom, staring at the cleaning tools. She was sick and tired of the situation.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She needed to think.

M: No. It was sleeping comfortably in its nest on top of a cliff. But when its parents took off for the sky, the little eagle was accidentally knocked out of the nest.
W: Oh, the poor little thing! What happened next?
M: Luckily, it landed somewhere below the nest and survived, but it was unable to get back. It was noticed by some people in charge of a reintroduction program for eagles.
W: So what did they do?
M: They formed a rescue team, and hiked for an hour to save the baby bird. Finally it returned to the nest.
W: Why would they make such a great effort to save a bird?
M: There are just eight pairs of eagles on the island. So every bird counts.
W: You’re right. By the way, I’m not available tomorrow and your father will attend the parent-teacher conference tomorrow.
M: OK. Good night.

【答案】18.B 19.B 20.A
【原文】
Reading books can expand our knowledge of the world. UNESCO established April 23rd as World Book and Copyright Day in 1995. Do you know its history? Setting aside a day to celebrate books traces its beginnings to the Spanish writer Vicente Clavel Andrés. In 1922, he proposed the idea as a way to honor the author, Miguel de Cervantes. Four years later, the first celebration took place on October 7th, Miguel’s birthday, but the later celebration was moved to April 23rd, the date of his death, in 1930. In 1995, the UNESCO General Conference decided to show respect for authors and books worldwide as a way of encouraging everyone to access books. Choosing April 23rd seemed a logical choice. Besides being the date of Miguel’s death, it also happens to be the date when William Shakespeare died, and some other important authors’ birthdays. Annually since 2001, one city around the world has been chosen to be the UNESCO World Book Capital for a year. The selected city will carry out activities to encourage “a culture of reading and sharing its values in all ages and population groups in and out of the national borders”. The idea was put forward by Spain in 2001, and Madrid was designated the first capital, followed by Alexandria and then New Delhi.

“What do you mean by this phrase? It’s incorrect and adds nothing to the sentence. Omit (省略).” Professor Jones’s critical feedback on my paper hurt me when I first read it. I scanned his comments for a “Good job!” or “I love this idea,” but they were nowhere to be found.
Everyone likes warmth and encouragement, but purely positive affirmations (肯定) don’t communicate what can be improved. Research conducted on Character Lab Research Network finds that direct, useful feedback requiring students to revise their own work is more effective. For Professor Jones, this looked like a note at the end of another paper: “I’m sure things will improve as the term and year wear on.” However, feedback that does the work for a student—correcting a misspelled word, rewriting a sentence—can signal a teacher’s low expectations.
When kids see comments that suggest what needs to be changed, they come to realize they can do things on their own and become more independent learners. As a bonus, this kind of feedback lets students know that their teacher believes in them.
As for me, I was benedictory for Professor Jones’s pointed criticism which let me know that he took me seriously. He was expecting me to do better, and the detailed comments scrawled (潦草地写) on every page gave me the tools to improve. Teachers can add affirmations to their feedback as long as it’s not the only thing they’re doing.
Don’t confuse warmth with promoting a growth mindset. Being nice isn’t the same as showing someone you believe they can improve. So give detailed feedback that sets young people up to take charge of their own learning. For example, instead of rewriting a sentence, say: “This is a run-on sentence. Try reading it out loud and add punctuation in places where you naturally take a breath.” Ask worth-exploring questions that inspire students to think about their approach, then let them revise on their own. When it comes to writing, the easiest path isn’t always the best one.
24.How did the author initially feel about Professor Jones’s feedback?
A.Happy and motivated. B.Upset and disappointed.
C.Indifferent and unconcerned. D.Confident and encouraged.
25.What is the key aspect of effective feedback mentioned in the article?
A.It should be brief and to the point. B.It should be warm and encouraging.
C.It should be written at the end of the paper. D.It should be up to students to fix their own work.
26.What does the underlined word “benedictory” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Responsible. B.Generous. C.Regretful. D.Grateful.
27.What should teachers do when checking student’s paper according to the text?
A.Give students general praise. B.Rewrite sentences for students.
C.Provide students critical support. D.Show students corrected assignments.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.D 27.C
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章强调了建设性的反馈对学生学习的重要性。作者通过自己论文被批评的经历,认识到直接且有用的反馈比单纯鼓励更有助于改进。研究显示,要求学生修改作业的直接反馈更有效,而过于温和的反馈可能暗示低期望。作者认为,教师应该提供建设性的反馈,激发学生的独立学习能力,帮助学生真正取得进步。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Professor Jones’s critical feedback on my paper hurt me when I first read it. I scanned his comments for a “Good job!” or “I love this idea,” but they were nowhere to be found. (当我第一次读到Jones教授对我论文的批评时,我很伤心。我浏览了他的评论,寻找“干得好!”或“我喜欢这个主意”,但这些都找不到)”可知,此时作者因为读到批评很伤心,而且没有找到任何积极的评论。由此可知,作者一开始对Jones教授的反馈感到沮丧和失望。故选B项。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research conducted on Character Lab Research Network finds that direct, useful feedback requiring students to revise their own work is more effective. (在性格实验室研究网络上进行的研究发现,要求学生修改自己的作业的直接、有用的反馈更有效)”可知,文章中提到的有效反馈的关键方面是,应该由学生来修改自己的作业。故选D项。
26.词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“Professor Jones’s pointed criticism which let me know that he took me seriously. He was expecting me to do better, and the detailed comments scrawled (潦草地写) on every page gave me the tools to improve. (Jones教授尖锐的批评让我知道他是认真对待我的。他希望我做得更好,而在每一页上潦草的详细评论给了我改进的手段)”可知,作者意识到Jones教授的批评实际上表明他在认真对待自己,切实地帮助自己进行改进。由此可知,作者对此应该充满感激,画线词意思应该是“感激的”,与Grateful意思一致。故选D项。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Don’t confuse warmth with promoting a growth mindset. Being nice isn’t the same as showing someone you believe they can improve. So give detailed feedback that sets young people up to take charge of their own learning. (不要把温暖和促进成长的心态混为一谈。友善并不等于向别人展示你相信他们可以进步。所以要给他们详细的反馈,让他们能够自主学习。)”可知,老师在检查学生的作业时,应该培养学生成长的心态,通过给出详细的反馈,让他们自己去进行改进。由此可知,老师应该为学生提供关键支持。故选C项。
C
Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.
“Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.
Because humans are land animals, most of the Earth remains under-explored. Marine (海洋的) biologists think the oceans might host more than 2 million species of marine animals, of which they have so far identified perhaps a tenth.
A new initiative hopes to change this. Launched in London on April 27th, Ocean Census aims to discover 100, 000 new species of marine animal over the coming decade. It is backed by Nekton, a British marine-research institute, and the Nippon foundation, Japan’s biggest charitable foundation. Its first ship, the Norwegian icebreaker Kronprins Haakon, set sail on April 29th, bound for the Barents Sea.
The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change. The second reason is technological. Marine biologist s find about 2, 000 new species a year, a rate hardly changed since Darwin’s day. Ocean Census is betting it can go faster.
Exactly what the new effort might turn up is impossible to predict. But history suggests it will be fruitful. Half a century ago scientists discovered hot vents (喷口) on the sea bed. These days, such vents are one possible candidate for the origin of all life on Earth. There are more practical benefits, too. Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.
28.Why is “Earth” an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun?
A.Its climate is changing rapidly. B.Humans have not explored much of it.
C.Most of its surface is covered by water. D.It hosts a large number of marine animals.
29.What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A.The rate of discovering new species won’t change.
B.The new initiative will mainly focus on coral reefs.
C.Climate change has a great impact on marine species.
D.Scientists have identified nearly all the species in the ocean.
30.What might be the potential benefits of the Ocean Census according to the last paragraph?
A.It may result in a reduction in overfishing.
B.It may lead to the discovery of new drugs.
C.It may contribute to the advancement of technology.
D.It may prove the oceans are our life-support system.
31.What’s the best title for the text?
A.The Endangered Planet B.Reducing Sea Pollution: A Global Initiative
C.How to Protect the Oceans? D.The Misnamed Earth: Exploring the Ocean’s Secrets
【答案】28.C 29.C 30.B 31.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家倡议进行海洋普查,来深入了解地球,解释了这一举措背后的原因。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段““Earth” has always been an odd choice of name for the third planet from the Sun. After all, two-thirds of its surface is covered not by earth at all, but by oceans of water.(用“地球”来命名这颗距太阳第三远的行星一直是个奇怪的选择。毕竟,它三分之二的表面根本不是被陆地覆盖,而是被海洋覆盖)”可知,用“地球”这个名字来称呼离太阳第三远的行星是一个奇怪的选择,是因为它的大部分表面被水覆盖。故选C。
29.推理判断题。根据第五段“The initiative is happening for two reasons. One is that the longer scientists wait, the less there will be to identify. Climate change is heating the oceans, as well as making them more acidic (酸的) as carbon dioxide dissolves goes into the water. Already around half the world’s coral reefs (珊瑚)—thought to be home to around 25% of all ocean species—have been lost. Oliver Steeds, Nekton’s founder, says that one of Ocean Census’s priorities will be identifying species thought to be in the greatest danger from climate change.(这一举措的出现有两个原因。一个是,科学家等待的时间越长,能确定的就越少。气候变化正在加热海洋,同时随着二氧化碳溶解到水中,海洋变得更酸。世界上大约一半的珊瑚礁——被认为是25%海洋物种的家园——已经消失了。Nekton的创始人Oliver Steeds说,海洋普查的首要任务之一将是确定那些被认为受到气候变化威胁最大的物种)”可知,气候变化对海洋物种有很大的影响。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many drugs, for example, come originally from biological substance. An ocean full of unidentified life will almost certainly prove a rich mine from which to mine more.(例如,许多药物最初来自生物物质。一个充满未知生命的海洋几乎肯定是一个丰富的矿藏,我们可以从中开采更多矿)”可知,海洋普查的潜在好处是可能导致新药的发现。故选B。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Much of Earth is unexplored. An ocean census (普查) hopes to change that.(地球上的许多地方还没有被探索过。一项海洋普查希望改变这种状况)”结合文章主要说明了科学家倡议进行海洋普查,来深入了解地球,解释了这一举措背后的原因。可知,D选项“错误命名的地球:探索海洋的秘密”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else. “While we teach. we learn.” said Roman philosopher Seneca. Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They are documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who are learning only for their own sake. But how children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer. They can tutor younger kids. Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” —a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials. While preparing to teach, they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors learning. The agents’ questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all, it’s emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else’s accomplishment.
32.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?
A.Seneca’s thinking is still applicable today. B.Better learners will become better teachers.
C.Human intelligence tends to grow with age. D.Philosophical thinking improves instruction.
33.What do we learn about Betty’s Brain?
A.It is a character in a popular animation. B.It is a teaching tool under development.
C.It is a cutting-edge app in digital games. D.It is a tutor for computer science students.
34.What is the key factor that benefits student tutors’ learning?
A.Their sense of responsibility. B.The learning strategy acquired.
C.Their emotional involvement. D.The teaching experience gained.
35.What’s the author’s attitude towards student tutors’ learning?
A.Opposed B.Indifferent C.Ambiguous D.Favorable
【答案】32.A 33.B 34.C 35.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了通过教来学作为一种高效学习方式的重要性,以及现代科学家和教育工作者如何通过创新的方法和工具来强化和推广这种学习方式。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段“Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date.(现在,科学家们正在将这一古老的智慧与时俱进)”可知,研究人员通过他们的研究重新发现Seneca的思想今天仍然适用。故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent” —a computerized character who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated figure called Betty’s Brain, who has been “taught” about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students.(但正在开发的最尖端的工具是“可教代理”——一种像现实世界的学生一样学习、尝试、犯错误和提问的计算机角色。计算机科学家创造了一个名为Betty’s Brain的动画人物,数百名中学生向她“教授”了环境科学知识)”可知,Betty’s Brain是一种正在开发中的教学工具。故选B。
34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Above all, it’s emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning.(最重要的是,人们在教学中体验到的情感有助于学习)”可知,情感参与是有利于学生导师学习的关键因素。故选C。
35.推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who are learning only for their own sake.(研究人员发现,报名辅导别人的学生更努力地理解材料,更准确地回忆,更有效地应用。实习教师在考试中比那些只为自己学习的学生得分更高)”可知,作者对学生导师的学习的态度是赞许的,故选D。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. Surely a child won’t have the patience to stare at something for long. 36 .
Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally. 37 . Each painting, sculpture, or photograph in art galleries tells a story, inviting young viewers to interpret and connect with it on a personal level.
But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in? 38 . I firmly believe art galleries can be great fun if we set out with the intention of making them so.
First, why not let your children enjoy art on their own terms? Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture? 39 . If they want to head straight for a certain display, let them. If something catches their eye on the other side of the room, that’s absolutely fine.
40 . What really matters in a gallery is that children build a connection with art, for whatever reason. To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, “Who can guess the artist?” I did this many times with my children and always found it to enhance their interest.
A.Let them determine the pace
B.Make the art gallery fit in with your kids
C.Turning art into a game is another trick
D.The answer is to approach them with fresh eyes
E.It is a crying shame that they are least-visited attractions
F.It allows children opportunities to engage in diverse perspectives and cultures
G.It’s understandable to think of art galleries as anything but child-friendly places
【答案】36.G 37.F 38.D 39.A 40.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了带孩子参观美术馆的好处,有助于智力和情感发展,通过让孩子自主探索和将艺术变成游戏,可以增强他们对艺术的兴趣。
36.上文“In today’s world of digital distractions (分心物), the thought of taking your kids to an art gallery might seem a thankless and impossible challenge. ”(在当今这个充斥着各种数字分心物的世界里,带孩子去美术馆看画似乎是一个既费力又不可能完成的挑战。)说明带孩子去美术馆看画似乎是不可能完成的挑战。G项中的“anything but child-friendly places”与上文“impossible challenge”相呼应,G项“把美术馆想象成一个不适合儿童的地方是可以理解的”符合题意。故选G项。
37.上文“Being exposed to art, however, holds profound significance for the development of young minds, both intellectually and emotionally.”(然而,接触艺术对青少年的智力和情感发展都有着深远的意义。)表明接触艺术对孩子有好处。F项中的“engage in diverse perspectives and cultures”与上文“profound significance”相呼应,是好处的具体表现形式,且代词it指代上文中的“Being exposed to art”,F项“它使儿童有机会参与不同的观点和文化”符合语境。故选F项。
38.上文“But with many kids being extremely picky eaters, and galleries seeming as appetizing as yesterday’s porridge, how can we get them to tuck (狂吃) in?”(但是,很多孩子都非常挑食,而长廊看起来就像昨天的粥一样没有食欲,我们怎样才能让他们吃得津津有味呢?)提出问题:如何提高孩子对画廊的兴趣?D项中的“answer”与上文问句相呼应,回答上句提出的问题,且“fresh eyes”与后文“the intention of making them so”一致,D项“答案是以全新的眼光接近他们”符合题意。故选D项。
39.上文“Who said that walking around a gallery had to be slow, stopping to look at every picture?”(谁说逛美术馆一定要慢条斯理,每看一幅画都要停下来?)说明逛美术馆不一定要慢慢走,每一幅画都停下来。A项中的“pace”与上文“slow”相呼应,A项“让他们决定节奏”符合题意。故选A项。
40.下文“To encourage this, you can make it into a game, either with or without a reward, with simple questions like, ‘Who can guess the artist?’”(为了鼓励这一点,你可以把它变成一个游戏,可以有奖励,也可以没有奖励,可以问一些简单的问题,比如“谁能猜出是哪位艺术家?”)说明可以把参观美术馆的过程变成一个游戏。C项中的“game”与下文“game”一致,且“another trick”与第四段中的“First”形成并列关系,C项“把艺术变成游戏是另一个技巧”符合题意。故选C项。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chilis (辣椒) weren’t always in China, says Brian Dott, a history professor at Whitman College and author of The Chile Pepper in China: A Cultural Biography. 56 (originate) in Central and South America, Capsicum plants were unknown in China until around the 16th Century, when a boom in 57 (explore) and trade brought chilis to the Chinese mainland.
The first 58 (write) record of chili in China 59 (date) from 1591 and it isn’t exactly a flood of positive reviews. Gao Lian, a playwright who lived near 60 is now Shanghai, wasn’t “all that excited about it as a condiment (调味品) or a medicine,” Dott says of his account. Instead, he used it as a decorative plant.
But while elite Chinese enjoyed chili peppers in their decorative gardens, the masses began eating and enjoying the hot plants. By 1765, local historians noted that chi is were used 61 (flavor) sauces, vinegar, savory oils, and preserved vegetables in Hunan. There’s even a recipe for a condiment reminding people of chili crisp in The Harmonious Cauldron, the 62 (early) Chinese culinary book to include chili peppers.
63 (like) other spices, chili peppers weren’t farmed and traded as commodities. Instead, they 64 (pass) from person to person and cultivated in small crops, says Dott, falling into the hands of skilled farmers who bred even better chilis overtime. These peppers—and the condiment made by frying them in oil—became must-have ingredients all over China, eventually filtering (渗透) to every level of society and becoming so universal 65 they were considered part of the nation’s identity.
【答案】
56.Originating 57.exploration 58.written 59.dates 60.what 61.to flavor 62.earliest 63.Unlike 64.were passed 65.that
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了辣椒在中国的历史和传播。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:辣椒原产于中美洲和南美洲,直到16世纪左右,随着探险和贸易的繁荣,辣椒才被带到中国大陆。此处originate与Capsicum构成主动关系,应用现在分词,作状语,首字母大写。故填Originating。
57.考查名词。句意:辣椒原产于中美洲和南美洲,直到16世纪左右,随着探险和贸易的繁荣,辣椒才被带到中国大陆。此处作介词的宾语,应用名词exploration,不可数。故填exploration。
58.考查形容词。句意:中国关于辣椒的第一个书面记录可以追溯到1591年,但它并没有得到大量的正面评价。此处修饰名词record,应用形容词written“书面的”,作定语。故填written。
59.考查时态。句意:中国关于辣椒的第一个书面记录可以追溯到1591年,但它并没有得到大量的正面评价。句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语为record,谓语用三单形式。故填dates。
60.考查宾语从句。句意:剧作家高濂住在现在的上海附近,多特在描述他的故事时说,他“对把它当作调味品或药物并不那么感兴趣”。此处引导宾语从句,从句缺少主语,指物,应用连接词what引导。故填what。

65.考查固定句型。句意:这些辣椒和油炸辣椒制成的调味品成为中国各地的必备食材,最终渗透到社会的各个层面,变得如此普遍,以至于它们被认为是中国身份的一部分。此处引导结果状语从句,表示“如此……以至于……”,应用固定句型so…that…。故填that。

【答案】One possible version:
Conflict and Compromise
Conflict is an unavoidable part of campus life, and my own journey has been no exception. Last semester, I found myself in a group project, where each member had a different vision, leading to arguments over ideas and responsibilities. Tensions ran high, and compromise seemed out of reach.
However, through open communication and active listening, we gradually found common ground. We compromised on our individual viewpoints and combined our ideas. The project turned out better than we could have imagined.
This experience has taught me that conflict, when handled constructively, can lead to growth and understanding.

Kiss marks on the mirror
Jessica, a clever cleaner, worked in an all-girls university.
One day, she was quietly doing one of her jobs—cleaning the bathroom—when she noticed a bunch of kiss marks on the mirror.
She got angry at the sight of it. But she decided not to dwell on her negative emotion and do something actionable instead. She was hopeful for the girls seemed smart and reasonable.She wiped away the kiss marks with cleaning cloth and a sponge and left instructions on a piece of paper: Please don’t leave kiss marks on the mirror. Lipstick stains(口红印) are difficult to clean.
The next day, Jessica went inside the bathroom to clean. But much to her disappointment,she saw a bunch of kiss marks on the mirror again. She got angry and went running to the principal’s office to report the incident. Upon learning of the incident, the principal got angry at the students. He gave them a strong warning to not leave kiss marks on the bathroom’s mirror. Jessica overheard the principal when he scolded the students. She felt relieved. She figured the girls wouldn’t leave kiss marks on the mirror again. She was wrong.
The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. When she went inside the bathroom,she found kiss marks on the mirror. Worse, there were more of them compared to the ones she found during the previous days. Angrily, she stormed out of the bathroom and went straight to the principal’s office. She was mad at the girls for their stubbornness and also at the principal for not punishing the girls’actions.“The girls are hard-headed. Based on experience, they don’t easily follow my orders. Wait it out. They’ll grow out of this,” said the principal.
Rather than say things out of anger and things that would probably get her fired, Jessica walked out to get some fresh air, and then back to the bathroom, staring at the cleaning tools. She was sick and tired of the situation.

She needed to think.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It worked!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 She needed to think. Clearly, direct confrontation hadn’t resolved the issue. Jessica realized she needed a more creative approach to tackle the problem of the kiss marks on the mirror. As she stood in the bathroom, frustration mounting, an idea struck her. Instead of merely instructing or scolding, she decided to engage the students actively. That afternoon, she crafted a poster with colorful graphics, illustrating the difficulty of cleaning lipstick stains and urging students to take responsibility for their shared space.
It worked! The poster caught the students’ attention, sparking conversations about cleanliness and consideration. Jessica noticed fewer lipstick marks on the mirror each day. Some students even approached her, acknowledging the impact of their actions and promising to be more mindful. Seeing this positive change, Jessica felt encouraged that her approach had made a difference. She realized that fostering understanding and cooperation among the students was key to maintaining a clean and respectful environment.
【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开,讲述了Jessica在一所女子大学做清洁工时发现镜子上有口红印,一开始她清洁后和留言告诉学生们不要在镜子上留口红印,但学生们并未改变行为。她报告给校长,校长斥责学生后,情况仍未改善。最终,Jessica感到沮丧和愤怒,但她意识到生气并不能解决问题,需要寻找更有效的方法来应对这个困扰。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她需要思考”可知,第一段可描写“Jessica想到了制作海报向学生说明清理口红印的困难,提升学生对共享空间负责的责任感。”的相关细节。
②由第二段首句内容“它奏效了!”可知,第二段可描写“ 这张海报引起了学生们的关注,口红印每天都在减少,Jessica感到鼓舞并意识到学生的理解和合作是保持美好环境的关键”的相关细节。
2.续写线索:Jessica想到一个好主意——Jessica制作海报——海报引起学生注意——口红印每天都在减少——学生承诺不再留下口红印——Jessica感到鼓舞——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①解决:solve/settle/resolve
②意识到:realize/become aware of
情绪类
①失望:frustration/disappointment
②受到鼓舞的:inspired/encouraged
【点睛】【高分句型1】As she stood in the bathroom, frustration mounting, an idea struck her.(使用了as引导的时间状语从句和独立主格“frustration+mounting”)
【高分句型2】The poster caught the students’ attention, sparking conversations about cleanliness and consideration. (使用了现在分词作状语)
