As a college professor, I am required to hold an office hour before my lecture. These office hours are optional and tend to be busier at the beginning and end of a semester (学期). In the middle, they can become quiet. A few years ago I was given a flute (长笛) as a gift, so I decided that I would use my quiet office hours to practice this new instrument. The experience brought unexpected insights into performance anxiety.
I held my office hour in the near-empty lecture hall, one hour before the class began. The hall was open to any student who wished to talk with me about coursework or to take a seat and quietly read before the lecture began. I would assemble (组装) my flute, open my lesson book, and begin working on the instrument I had never played before. I also followed online video lessons—all done in front of a few students who would come early to class.
I would begin playing long tones, closing my eyes and “forgetting” that anyone was in the room with me. I was surprised to find that I felt no anxiety while learning a new instrument in front of others. Had I been playing my main instrument, I would have had more concern about the level of my playing and how my playing was being received. However, in this setting, it was clear that I was an absolute beginner with no expectations of impressing anyone with my mastery. My attention was set on figuring the instrument out. I had no expectations of how I would sound and had little expectations of sounding like anything more than a beginner.
There have been many things I have learned from my experiment of learning an instrument in public. Whenever musicians talk with me about their stage fright, I offer them this story.
24. What is “an office hour” for?
A. The professors to show talents. B. The students to appreciate music.
C. The teachers to offer consultation. D. The lecturers to make preparations.
25. Why did the author play a flute?
A. To pass the time. B. To give a lecture.

26. What made the author at ease when playing the flute?
A. The technique from the video. B. His impressive performance.
C. The audience’s active response. D. His concentration on playing.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. My Joy of, Learning a New Thing B. My Tip on Performing in the Public
C. My Discovery to Ease Stage Fright D. My Office Hour Before Every Lesson

It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in your community or helping others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person’s goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors (预测因素) of income in adulthood. Simply put, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!
“Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes.
28. What does the study mainly focus on?
A Why children change their dreams over time.
B. Whether childhood goals relate to future success.
C Whether early education determines future career.
D. How childhood experiences impact a person’s choice.
29. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up?
A. Connecting with others.
B. Achieving academic success.
C. Hunting for a high-salary job
D. Improving personal social status.
30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3?
A. Dreaming big is potentially associated with success.
B. Childhood achievements greatly affect future careers.
C. Educational goals may be more achievable than others.
D. Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To explain the purpose of the study. B. To offer suggestions for future studies.
C. To stress the significance of the study. D. To point out the limitations of the study.
D
Individual innovation is considered one sign of intelligence within species, and elephants are among the animals that researchers have long taken an interest in because of their experienced approach to problem solving. A recent study published in Animal Behaviour has thrown light on the individual abilities of wild Asian elephants to access food by solving puzzles that unlocked storage boxes.
Conducted at the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand, the study used motion-activated cameras to observe 77 wild Asian elephants who approached and decided whether to attempt opening puzzle boxes with three different compartments (隔层) that contained jackfruit (菠萝蜜). The boxes were hung from a tree that the elephant could reach with its nose. Depending on the compartments with which the elephant interacted, the jackfruit could be accessed by pulling on a chain so the door opened toward the elephant, pushing the door so that it swung open into the box, or sliding the door open to the right. Without any tools, the elephants had to independently interact with the puzzle boxes to discover how the compartments could be opened.
Over time, 44 of the elephants who approached the puzzle boxes interacted with them, but there were individual differences in how innovative the elephants were. The researchers found that elephants who interacted with the puzzle boxes more frequently and with greater persistence were more successful in getting food from all three different compartments. Overall, 11 elephants solved one compartment type and eight solved two compartment types. Five elephants solved all three types, and therefore were the most innovative.
Dr. Joshua Plotnik, the lead researcher of the study, explains that human-elephant conflict is on the rise due to the loss of natural habitat and occupation of agriculture into the remaining areas. By studying the innovation and problem-solving abilities of elephants, researchers can gain insight into their cognitive flexibility in the wild, which could inform conservation management and strategies for relieving human-elephant conflict.
32. Why did scientists choose the elephants to study?
A. They are easy to observe. B. They are gifted at finding food.
C. They are skillful at settling problems. D. They can handle multiple tasks.
33. How did elephants get jackfruit?
A. By using branches on trees. B. By interacting with another elephant.
C. By drawing the chain with nose. D. By following researchers’ instructions
34. What did researchers find about the elephants?
A. They can learn from failure. B. They have different innovation levels.
C. They are good at solving puzzles. D. They tend to be more independent.
35. What does Plotnik expect about the study?
A. It will promote elephants to adapt to human life.
B. It may provide guidance for protecting elephants.
C. It can facilitate the restoration of the elephant habitat.
D. It might help understand the living habits of elephants.

How to have an attractive personality
Demonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships. These traits (特性) give you the ability to inspire and fascinate others, making others more drawn to you as a result.
Listen to others. ___36___ Instead of responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal, pay attention to what the other person is saying. Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.
Speak sincerely. No one likes to be cheated. ___37___ If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them at the last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest.

Know “how” vs “what”. How you say things is arguably more important than what you say. If you try to give someone a genuine compliment, but he or she thinks you say it with a sarcastic undertone, your compliment won’t mean a thing. ___39___ If you notice that people often take things you say the wrong way, there’s a good chance you can change how you speak. Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across.

One day my mother and I were out having a girls’ day, and we decided to go to a seafood restaurant. We got there just as the lunch rush started, so there was a line to get in. I looked over to the side and spied a very thin lady with no coat. She was holding a sign that read: “Homeless and hungry. Please help.” I looked around at everyone, and no one looked like they cared in the least. I knew that if I didn’t do something, I will be regretful forever. I went over to her and asked if she would like to come out of the cold and get something to eat. She looked for a second like she was unsure I was talking to her. She put her head down and said in the lowest voice, “Yes.”
I helped her to her feet and walked her up to my mother, who was in line. We stood there together until we were seated. When the waitress came, she looked at the woman as if she were a disease waiting to attack her. She asked what we wanted to eat but completely neglected this woman and acted like she didn’t exist. Then the owner came over and asked if we wanted this woman to sit at our table. I assured her we did. The owner then asked what her name was, to which I replied that we hadn’t gotten to ask that yet because the waitress had come as soon as we sat down.
I told the waitress to take the woman’s order and get her a cup of coffee. After the waitress left, we got talking, and I found out that her name was Judy. She had been released from the army because she had cancer. When she came back home, she could not find a job because of her poor condition and she lost her house. She was supposed to get a ride to a shelter, but she missed the bus.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

When the food came, she took out some plastic bags from her bag.

As a college professor, I am required to hold an office hour before my lecture. These office hours are optional and tend to be busier at the beginning and end of a semester (学期). In the middle, they can become quiet. A few years ago I was given a flute (长笛) as a gift, so I decided that I would use my quiet office hours to practice this new instrument. The experience brought unexpected insights into performance anxiety.
I held my office hour in the near-empty lecture hall, one hour before the class began. The hall was open to any student who wished to talk with me about coursework or to take a seat and quietly read before the lecture began. I would assemble (组装) my flute, open my lesson book, and begin working on the instrument I had never played before. I also followed online video lessons—all done in front of a few students who would come early to class.
I would begin playing long tones, closing my eyes and “forgetting” that anyone was in the room with me. I was surprised to find that I felt no anxiety while learning a new instrument in front of others. Had I been playing my main instrument, I would have had more concern about the level of my playing and how my playing was being received. However, in this setting, it was clear that I was an absolute beginner with no expectations of impressing anyone with my mastery. My attention was set on figuring the instrument out. I had no expectations of how I would sound and had little expectations of sounding like anything more than a beginner.
There have been many things I have learned from my experiment of learning an instrument in public. Whenever musicians talk with me about their stage fright, I offer them this story.
24. What is “an office hour” for?
A. The professors to show talents. B. The students to appreciate music.
C. The teachers to offer consultation. D. The lecturers to make preparations.
25. Why did the author play a flute?
A. To pass the time. B. To give a lecture.
C. To do a research. D. To attract students.

C. The audience’s active response. D. His concentration on playing.
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.
The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in your community or helping others.
During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person’s goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors (预测因素) of income in adulthood. Simply put, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!
“Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes.
28. What does the study mainly focus on?
A Why children change their dreams over time.
B. Whether childhood goals relate to future success.
C. Whether early education determines future career.
D. How childhood experiences impact a person’s choice.
29. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up?
A. Connecting with others.
B. Achieving academic success.
C. Hunting for a high-salary job
D. Improving personal social status.
30. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3?
A. Dreaming big is potentially associated with success.
B. Childhood achievements greatly affect future careers.
C. Educational goals may be more achievable than others.
D. Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success.
31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To explain the purpose of the study. B. To offer suggestions for future studies.
C. To stress the significance of the study. D. To point out the limitations of the study.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于童年的目标是否与未来的成功有关的研究以及研究的发现。

(然而,当一些童年目标消失时,与家庭有关的其他目标却依然强大。这些包括与亲戚亲近,建立更多的友谊或找到一个浪漫的伴侣,甚至更多地参与你的社区或帮助他人)”可知,与他人联系目标在孩子长大后仍然是强有力的。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up! (所以,我要传达的信息很简单:孩子们,要有远大的梦想,要梦想成功!当你长大后,这些目标会驱使你走向成功!)”可知,作者在第三段传达了梦想远大与成功有着潜在的联系。故选A。

Individual innovation is considered one sign of intelligence within species, and elephants are among the animals that researchers have long taken an interest in because of their experienced approach to problem solving. A recent study published in Animal Behaviour has thrown light on the individual abilities of wild Asian elephants to access food by solving puzzles that unlocked storage boxes.
Conducted at the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand, the study used motion-activated cameras to observe 77 wild Asian elephants who approached and decided whether to attempt opening puzzle boxes with three different compartments (隔层) that contained jackfruit (菠萝蜜). The boxes were hung from a tree that the elephant could reach with its nose. Depending on the compartments with which the elephant interacted, the jackfruit could be accessed by pulling on a chain so the door opened toward the elephant, pushing the door so that it swung open into the box, or sliding the door open to the right. Without any tools, the elephants had to independently interact with the puzzle boxes to discover how the compartments could be opened.
Over time, 44 of the elephants who approached the puzzle boxes interacted with them, but there were individual differences in how innovative the elephants were. The researchers found that elephants who interacted with the puzzle boxes more frequently and with greater persistence were more successful in getting food from all three different compartments. Overall, 11 elephants solved one compartment type and eight solved two compartment types. Five elephants solved all three types, and therefore were the most innovative.
Dr. Joshua Plotnik, the lead researcher of the study, explains that human-elephant conflict is on the rise due to the loss of natural habitat and occupation of agriculture into the remaining areas. By studying the innovation and problem-solving abilities of elephants, researchers can gain insight into their cognitive flexibility in the wild, which could inform conservation management and strategies for relieving human-elephant conflict.
32. Why did scientists choose the elephants to study?
A. They are easy to observe. B. They are gifted at finding food.
C. They are skillful at settling problems. D. They can handle multiple tasks.
33. How did elephants get jackfruit?
A. By using branches on trees. B. By interacting with another elephant.
C. By drawing the chain with nose. D. By following researchers’ instructions
34. What did researchers find about the elephants?
A. They can learn from failure. B. They have different innovation levels.
C. They are good at solving puzzles. D. They tend to be more independent.
35. What does Plotnik expect about the study?
A. It will promote elephants to adapt to human life.
B. It may provide guidance for protecting elephants.
C. It can facilitate the restoration of the elephant habitat.
D. It might help understand the living habits of elephants.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Conducted at the Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand, the study used motion-activated cameras to observe 77 wild Asian elephants who approached and decided whether to attempt opening puzzle boxes with three different compartments (隔层)that contained jackfruit(菠萝蜜).The boxes were hung from a tree that the elephant could reach with its nose. Depending on the compartments with which the elephant interacted, the jackfruit could be accessed by pulling on a chain so the door opened toward the elephant, pushing the door so that it swung open into the box, or sliding the door open to the right.(这项研究是在泰国的萨拉克普拉野生动物保护区进行的,使用动作激活摄像机观察了77只野生亚洲象,它们接近并决定是否尝试打开含有菠萝蜜的三个不同隔间的拼图盒子。这些盒子挂在一棵大象能用鼻子够到的树上。根据大象与之互动的隔间的不同,可以通过拉动链条使门朝大象打开,推动门使其摆动到盒子里,或者向右滑动门来接近菠萝蜜。)”可知,大象可以通过用鼻子拉开铁链的方式得到菠萝蜜。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over time, 44 of the elephants who approached the puzzle boxes interacted with them, but there were individual differences in how innovative the elephants were. The researchers found that elephants who interacted with the puzzle boxes more frequently and with greater persistence were more successful in getting food from all three different compartments.(随着时间的推移,有44头接近拼图盒的大象与它们进行了互动,但大象的创新程度存在个体差异。研究人员发现,与拼图盒互动更频繁、更坚持不懈的大象更能成功地从三个不同的隔间中获取食物。)”可知,研究人员发现大象有不同的创新水平。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“By studying the innovation and problem-solving abilities of elephants, researchers can gain insight into their cognitive flexibility in the wild, which could inform conservation management and strategies for relieving human-elephant conflict.(通过研究大象的创新和解决问题的能力,研究人员可以深入了解它们在野外的认知灵活性,这可以为保护管理和缓解人象冲突的策略提供信息。)”可知,Plotnik期待这项研究可以为保护大象提供指导。故选B项。

How to have an attractive personality
Demonstrating an attractive personality is key to making friends and having lasting relationships. These traits (特性) give you the ability to inspire and fascinate others, making others more drawn to you as a result.
Listen to others. ___36___ Instead of responding to a text, opening an email, or thinking about your next meal, pay attention to what the other person is saying. Show them you’re listening and interested by commenting on the story or asking questions.
Speak sincerely. No one likes to be cheated. ___37___ If you can’t commit to something, it’s better to be honest about it than to have to tell them at the last minute that you can’t make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest.
___38___ You should always say what you believe in, be willing to take risks, and have the ability to admit your mistake without being worried about what other people will think. Doing this shows that you have self-confidence. This helps create an attractive personality.

Ask your friends to make you aware of the way you’re coming across.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍的是毽子这个游戏和Chai Tixia踢毽子的高超技术。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着快速的踢腿,他毫不费力地将毽子抛向空中,并轻柔地引导它轻轻地落在他的头上。空格处用副词修饰动词land,gentle的副词是gently,意为“轻柔地”,故填gently。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:毽子是一种可以追溯到汉代的游戏,非常简单:玩家必须使用身体的任何部位,除了手和手臂,将毽子保持在空中。game是可数名词,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,game是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:毽子是一种可以追溯到汉代的游戏,非常简单:玩家必须使用身体的任何部位,除了手和手臂,将毽子保持在空中。句中谓语是must keep,空格处用非谓语动词,players和use之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词表主动,故填using。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:然而,要掌握这个游戏需要大量的练习。句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语是不定式to master,因此空格处用第三人称单数,故填requires。
【60题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:虽然在中国各地都很受欢迎,但毽子被Chai形容为胡同文化的一个重要方面。毽子被Chai形容,且句子描述客观事实,时态是一般现在时,因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态,主语Jianzi是不可数名词,因此空格处是is described。故填is described。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:位于北京内城的狭窄小巷为这项运动的流行提供了场地。game’s后跟名词作介词for的宾语,popular的名词是popularity,是不可数名词,意为“流行,普及,受欢迎”,故填popularity。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Chai和邻居们的激烈比赛吸引了大批观众,他们被这项运动的艺术性和刺激感所吸引。句中谓语是have,空格处用非谓语动词,audience和draw之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填drawn。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:观看他们出色的运动能力的旁观者对Chai和他的同伴们所取得的成就感到惊讶。空格处引导的是宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,句子表示“观看他们出色的运动能力的旁观者对Chai和他的同伴们所取得的成就感到惊讶”,因此空格处用what引导宾语从句,故填what。
【64题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:练了30多年的毽子,Chai很珍惜这项运动给身体和社会带来的好处。benefit是可数名词,不止一个,因此空格处用复数,故填benefits。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:与邻居进行激烈的比赛可以使他的身体充满活力,增强他的灵活性,并促进社区的团结。energizes,enhances和promotes这三个动作是并列的,句子是肯定句,因此空格处用and表并列,故填and。

【答案】Dear David,
I’m thrilled to tell you that I won the first prize in our school’s “Capture Autumn on Campus” photography competition, whose aim was to motivate students to appreciate the beauty of nature and capture unforgettable moments of autumn on campus.
My winning photo was taken in front of the library, where a maple tree was turning red. Several leaves were falling gently onto the ground, dancing gracefully in the air, while students sat under the tree reading or chatting. Not only did the winning boost my confidence in pursuing photography as a hobby, but it also inspired me to embrace the hidden beauty in school.
What about the autumn on your campus? Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day my mother and I were out having a girls’ day, and we decided to go to a seafood restaurant. We got there just as the lunch rush started, so there was a line to get in. I looked over to the side and spied a very thin lady with no coat. She was holding a sign that read: “Homeless and hungry. Please help.” I looked around at everyone, and no one looked like they cared in the least. I knew that if I didn’t do something, I will be regretful forever. I went over to her and asked if she would like to come out of the cold and get something to eat. She looked for a second like she was unsure I was talking to her. She put her head down and said in the lowest voice, “Yes.”
I helped her to her feet and walked her up to my mother, who was in line. We stood there together until we were seated. When the waitress came, she looked at the woman as if she were a disease waiting to attack her. She asked what we wanted to eat but completely neglected this woman and acted like she didn’t exist. Then the owner came over and asked if we wanted this woman to sit at our table. I assured her we did. The owner then asked what her name was, to which I replied that we hadn’t gotten to ask that yet because the waitress had come as soon as we sat down.
I told the waitress to take the woman’s order and get her a cup of coffee. After the waitress left, we got talking, and I found out that her name was Judy. She had been released from the army because she had cancer. When she came back home, she could not find a job because of her poor condition and she lost her house. She was supposed to get a ride to a shelter, but she missed the bus.
注意:1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When the food came, she took out some plastic bags from her bag.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I think about Judy every so often.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
When the food came, she took out some plastic bags from her bag. She carefully put the food into the bags, explaining that she wanted to save some for later. My mother and I exchanged a look, and we both felt a pang of sadness. We told her to eat as much as she wanted and that we could order more if needed. She thanked us with tears in her eyes and started to eat slowly, savoring every bite as if it were a luxury.
I think about Judy every so often. Her story has stayed with me, reminding me of the importance of kindness and compassion. I have learned that we should never turn a blind eye to those in need and that a small act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone’s life. I hope that Judy has found a place to stay and is getting the help she needs, and I will always be grateful for the lesson she taught me that day.
