The pair were back on the road aiming for their next goal Along their joumey they had to tackle deserts and jungles.They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia.The greatest hardship on the tuk­tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path，including the Alps，the Himalayas and the Andes. Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa，Asia and South America They witnessed first­hand the educational challenges facing these areas today.They joined street children in the slums of Cairo，Khartoum，Kampala，Mumbai and Phnom Penh.They visited Congolese refugees(难民)in camps in Eastern Burundi. The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust，a U．K.registered charity.Talking about their motivation，Richard said，“The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieve universal primary education but，in spite of this promise，over 57 million primary­aged children worldwide are still out of school；many more are in school；many more are in school，but still cannot access quality learning opportunities.” 4．Why did the two teachers travel around the world?

Researchers at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands took a look at 21 different pieces of high­quality research from across the world that explored how a teaching environment can affect the quality of teaching and learning at colleges and universities. The findings，reported in the journal Indoor Air，suggest that there is no one­size­fits­all approach to making a perfect classroom environment.For example，a lengthy philosophy lecture is likely to require a different environment than a hands­on chemistry lesson.Therefore，classrooms should provide multiple indoor environmental conditions to facilitate educational processes. However，the literature review did find some common themes of what makes optimal learning environment，namely a relatively cool，bright，and quiet environment that has sufficient air with low carbon dioxide concentrations.Acoustics was also found to be an important factor，with one study finding that unwanted noises in the classroom may decrease students'academic performance by as much as 34 percent. The researchers argue that students who are taught in these kinds of good classrooms also tend to experience an improved academic performance，scoring higher on attention or concentration tests，and performing better in academic tests.However，they were not able to confirm or reject the claim that classrooms can influence the quality of teaching due to a lack of evidence. In light of their findings，the researchers hope to inspire those involved in renovation (翻新) or new construction of school buildings in a bid to make better classrooms and more productive environments. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教室环境对学习质量的影响，学校应提供多元化的教室环境，方便教学过程的展开。 8．What is the main finding of the new study? A．High­quality teaching is the key to test scores. B．Most students are tired of the lengthy lectures. C．Environment is related to the quality of teaching. D．Classroom conditions affect the quality of learning. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“A new study has found that cool，airy，and bright classrooms with good acoustics (声效) have the power to significantly boost the quality of learning and even have an impact on test scores.”可知，研究发现凉爽、通风、明亮的教室以及良好的声效能够显著提高学习质量，凉爽、通风、明亮的教室是拥有良好条件的教室，由此可知，这项新研究的主要发现是教室条件影响学习质量。 答案　D 9．Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 3? A．To present a fact. B．To explain a research result. C．To provide a solution. D．To make a conclusion. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“The findings，reported in the journal Indoor Air，suggest that there is no one­size­fits­all approach to making a perfect classroom environment.” 可知，第三段主要介绍了一个研究结果，要创造一个完美的课堂环境，并没有一种通用的方法，根据第三段中例子“For example，a lengthy philosophy lecture is likely to require a different environment than a hands­on chemistry lesson.” 可知，例子正是对研究结果“要创造一个完美的课堂环境，并没有一种通用的方法”的举例，一场冗长的哲学讲座和一个实际操作的化学课所需要的课堂环境并不相同，由此可知，作者在第三段中列举例子是为了解释研究结果。 答案　B 10．What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 4? A．Imaginary.　　　　 B．Stuffy. C．Ideal. D．Identical. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线单词句中“namely a relatively cool，bright，and quiet environment that has sufficient air with low carbon dioxide concentrations.” 可知，凉爽、明亮、安静、空气充足和二氧化碳浓度低都是理想的学习环境所具备的特点，由此可知，画线单词所在句表达的是“什么造就了最理想的学习环境”，“Ideal”意为“理想的”。 答案　C 11．Which of the following can best describe the researchers' expectation? A．Making a perfect test environment. B．Seeking more evidence for the study. C．Improving college academic atmosphere. D．Creating better classroom environments. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“In light of their findings，the researchers hope to inspire those involved in renovation (翻新) or new construction of school buildings in a bid to make better classrooms and more productive environments.”可知，研究人员希望能为学生创造更好的教室和更好的学习环境，由此可知，研究人员的期望是创造更好的课堂环境。 答案　D D Chances are you talk to yourself throughout the day whether you're aware of it or not — everything from “I'm going to be late” to “I love this dress” has likely crossed your mind pretty often.But have you ever said such phrases out loud? “Expressing some inner thoughts out loud can actually help you better deal with the present and future and is something we all should start doing，” says psychotherapist Lisa Ferentz.Ferentz employs this practice most often when it comes to helping her patients develop a positive attitude to themselves and the day ahead.She says，“There's nothing more important than the way we talk to ourselves because inner thoughts tell us about all our later thoughts，emotional states，and behavioral choices.” A good way to have a healthy mental state is to write down what you're grateful for and what you're good at，and then say those things out loud.“Like anything else，once you practice and approach it from a positive place，you discover it's quite easy to do.It guides our life whether we notice it or not，” says Ferentz. Ferentz also advises people to whisper aloud pep talks before heading into a possibly stressful situation.“When we whisper positively to ourselves it gives us more strength and courage so we can meet a challenging situation head­on，” she says.That agrees with research that found athletes are often fans of self­talk ahead of competitions. Of course，there's also a place for negative self­talk if you approach it the right way.“It's important to understand what you're feeling whether it's positive or negative.Saying negative thoughts out loud can be very profitable，” says Ferentz.“Bringing the negative thing you're thinking and feeling to the surface gives you the opportunity to reconsider it.” So next time you hold a little two­way conversation with yourself，don't worry; it's perfectly OK! [语篇解读]　无论你是否意识到这一点，你有可能全天都在跟自己说话，但是，你有没有大声说过这些话？事实证明，大声表达出自己内心的想法对心理健康有好处。 12．How does Ferentz keep her patients mentally healthy? A．Have them open up to others. B．Adjust practice based on their behavior. C．Help them manage their emotional state. D．Let them say their own thoughts out loud. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句以及第三段第一句可知，Ferentz经常鼓励她的病人大声说出自己内心的想法。 答案　D 13.What does the underlined part “pep talks” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Encouraging words. B．Straight dialogues. C．Popular speeches. D．Easy topics. 解析　词义猜测题。根据下文中的“When we whisper...a challenging situation head­on”可知，当我们乐观积极地自言自语时，就能直面具有挑战性的局面。由此可推知，画线短语所在句表示Ferentz还建议人们在进入可能有压力的情况之前大声地给自己打气，说一些激励性的话语。故pep talks应该是指“激励的话，鼓舞士气的话”。 答案　A 14．What does Ferentz indicate in the last paragraph? A．People prefer positive self­talk. B．A two­way conversation is necessary. C．Negative self­talk can come in useful. D．Think before speaking out negative self­talk. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中Ferentz所说的话可知，大声说出消极的想法是非常有益的。把你正在思考和感受到的消极的事情说出来，这让你有机会重新思考它。由此可知，消极的自言自语可能会派上用场，故选C。come in useful “用得着，派得上用场”。 答案　C 15．Which is the best title for the text? A．What's your self­talk telling you? B．Is talking to yourself a good thing? C．Do you really need to talk to yourself? D．How do your inner thoughts benefit you? 解析　标题归纳题。纵观全文，尤其是根据第二段中的“Expressing some inner thoughts out loud can actually help you”可知，本文主要介绍了大声表达出自己的内心想法是有益的，故B项适合作本文标题。 答案　B 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (2024·湖北四地七校联考) How to Be a Good Listener in Class Being a good student means being a good listener.

How many times had I done this? How many more times would I be forced to do it? My dad would soon be leaving to feed the homeless. My father and several volunteers gathered every day in the park to feed the hungry. Luckily, I didn't have to go there. I had enough trouble getting everything ready. I really didn't understand why my father bothered with it. I couldn't wait for him to leave. I looked forward to a whole Saturday of my own.I planned to watch some television programmes, talk with my friends on the phone, and maybe do some shopping during the afternoon. It didn't take long for my plans to change and my happiness to disappear. Dad came in while I was doing the packing and stood behind me.“I'm going to need your help today. Some of the volunteers that usually help me won't be able to make it. ”“Dad, I can't help you today，” I said.“I have plans. ” He just gave me the you­should­be­ashamed­of­yourself look. “Fine，” I said angrily. I finished packing the sandwiches and followed Dad out to the van. I wanted to cry. This was going to be the worst day ever. My dad always drove the van, which also contained clothes, shoes and small bags filled with personal items. When we arrived at the park, people were already gathered under a tree waiting for us. We opened the back of the van and pulled out a long cafeteria table and some chairs. I put the table on one side of the van with the food on it, while my dad lined up chairs on the other side for them to sit in. I couldn't believe so many people were there and all of them were homeless. I was surprised to learn my dad knew most of them by name. He also seemed to know what each one needed, what they had suffered and what landed them in trouble. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Then, a girl about my age caught my attention. When everyone was gone, we loaded things back into the van. One possible version： Then，a girl about my age caught my attention.There was dirt on her face and hair.Much to my surprise，she didn't wear shoes.She walked to me and asked in a low voice whether l had some shoes that fit her.Staring into her blue eyes，I was unable to believe someone in this world could live such a poor life.“Let me have a check，” I replied gently.Looking back into the van，to my excitement，I found a pair of shoes that were the right size for her.Then I handed her the shoes.“Thank you！” she cried happily，with a big smile spreading across her face.After thanking me，she put them on and ran back to the street.I felt warm inside as I watched her leave. When everyone was gone，we loaded things back into the van.Now I understood why my father did everything he could to help the homeless.I could tell that he loved seeing their smiles of happiness.So did I．I realized I should have been thankful for everything that I have.That day，my dad taught me that there will always be someone less fortunate.A difference can be made by an individual who is willing to take the opportunity to help others，even if it means sacrificing something of his own. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
