It covers important information you need to know about foster volunteer application at AHS, and some of the topics covered in the video will be discussed during your volunteer interview.(请在完成志愿者申请前观看此视频。它涵盖了您需要了解的关于AHS寄养志愿者申请的重要信息，并且视频中涉及的一些主题将在志愿者面试期间讨论。)”可知，视频中包含志愿者面试中将讨论的相关信息，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据Application process部分的“If you are accepted into the program, AHS requires a $35 application fee, which contributes to the costs of administrative processing and volunteer training.(如果你被该项目录取，AHS需要支付35美元的申请费，这笔费用用于行政处理和志愿者培训)”可知，申请费用是为了支付行政处理和志愿者培训的成本，故选D。 B “When I was young, I told my mother that I would go to China to learn Kung Fu one day. She didn’t believe it. When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am, I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’,” says Max Yollando, a young man from the Cote d’Ivoire. Yollando is also known as Yanming, given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, the Buddhist monastery where the classic “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is a magnet for fans from all over the world, especially more young people who attempt to join the order. At the time, Yollando was a student at Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he enrolled at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his engagement with traditional Chinese culture. “I couldn’t wait to learn. The spirit of martial arts deeply impressed me,” he says. After returning to the Cote d’Ivoire, Yanming continued to practice Chinese and study traditional culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple and remained there for six years. He says the most impressive things he noticed that are rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect, and recognition. “Coming to China to study made me more disciplined and hardworking. Before, I was a little lazy, but the Shaolin Temple taught me to be punctual, respectful, and grateful. I learned to rise to the occasion and update my daily routine,” he adds. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia, which is home to 30 orphans. They are taught traditional Chinese culture, including Kung Fu, as part of the curriculum. For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to assume the responsibility of returning to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his countrymen. 4．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Yollando’s mother supported his dream. B．Yollando’s mother gave him a Chinese name. C．Yollando was born in the Shaolin Temple. D．The Shaolin Temple is now popular among foreigners. 5．What motivated Max Yollando to study Chinese culture initially? A．His mother’s disbelief. B．A scholarship opportunity. C．His passion for martial arts. D．His classmates’ influence. 6．Which aspect of Chinese culture did Yollando find most impressive? A．The love of work and respect. B．The architecture of temples. C．The variety of cuisines. D．The history of dynasties. 7．What is the ultimate goal of Yollando’s work at the Shaolin cultural center in Zambia? A．To spread Chinese values. B．To teach martial arts to everyone. C．To become a master at Kung Fu. D．To promote tourism to China. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．A 7．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。科特迪瓦年轻人 Max Yollando 从小梦想去中国学习功夫，后来在少林寺学习六年。他回国后在赞比亚的文化中心教授功夫，传播中国传统文化。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句话“Yollando is also known as Yanming, given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, the Buddhist monastery where the classic “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is a magnet for fans from all over the world, especially more young people who attempt to join the order. (Yollando还有个名字叫Yanming，是少林寺的师父给他起的。少林寺是经典“少林功夫”的诞生地。如今，少林寺吸引着来自世界各地的粉丝，尤其是更多试图加入少林寺的年轻人。)”可知 ，少林寺吸引着来自世界各地的粉丝，尤其是更多试图加入少林寺的年轻人即少林寺现在很受外国人的欢迎。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he enrolled at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. (出于对中国文化的热爱，他进入孔子学院学习中文。)”以及“This experience defined his engagement with traditional Chinese culture. “I couldn’t wait to learn. The spirit of martial arts deeply impressed me,” he says. (这段经历定义了他与中国传统文化的接触。“我迫不及待地想学习。武术精神给我留下了深刻的印象。”)”可知，Yollando 的动力来源于对中国文化的热情，尤其是他对武术的兴趣，这是他学习中国文化的动力。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“He says the most impressive things he noticed that are rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect, and recognition. (他说，他注意到的根植于中国文化的最深刻的东西是热爱工作、尊重和认可。)”可知，Yollando 提到中国文化的最深刻的东西是热爱工作、尊重和认可，这表明他对中国文化中对工作的热爱和尊重有深刻的体会。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据第四段中“For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to assume the responsibility of returning to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his countrymen. (对于Yollando来说，学习中国文化的目的是承担起回到非洲向他的同胞介绍中国价值观的责任。)”可知，Yollando学习中国文化的目的是承担起回到非洲向他的同胞介绍中国价值观的责任即传播中国价值。故选A。 C New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing. “We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower. The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower. Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose. “Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.” 8．How is the new study different from the previous one? A．It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs B．It rules out potential factors that may influence the results C．It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality D．It finds a link between environment and student performance 9．What is future research expected to find out? A．Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students. B．Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study. C．Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings. D．Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings 10．What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Opposing. D．Unclear. 11．In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text? A．Health B．Science C．Celebrity D．Architecture 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．C 11．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。 8．细节理解题。由文章第二段“A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.(之前，一些研究人员利用大脑映射技术和虚拟现实技术进行的一项研究发现，认知能力与一个人周围环境的感知大小之间存在关系。在这里，该团队想做一些现实世界的测试。)”可知，这项新研究与之前的研究不同，因为它是在现实世界中进行的，而不是在实验室中进行的。故选A项。 9．细节理解题。由文章倒数第三段“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, (关键在于，天花板高的大房间似乎对学生不利，我们需要了解大脑机制在起什么作用，以及这是否会对所有学生产生同样的影响，)”以及倒数第二段“Those are questions that future research can find out. (这些都是未来研究可以发现的问题。)”可知，未来的研究有望发现学生在天花板很高的考场是否同样受到影响。故选C项。 10．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,’ says Jaclyn Broadbent. ‘It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.’(Jaclyn Broadbent说：‘1300多年来，考试一直是我们教育体系的重要组成部分，塑造了学生的职业道路和生活。至关重要的是要认识到物理环境对学生表现的潜在影响，并做出必要的调整，以确保所有学生都有平等的成功机会。’)”以及第一段“The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.(该研究的作者认为，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。)”可知，Jaclyn Broadbent是反对在天花板很高的房间里举行考试。故选C项。 11．推理判断题。由文章第一段“New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.(新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系。虽然房间的形状不能让你更聪明，但我们所处的环境会对我们产生影响。该研究的作者认为，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。)”以及下文可知，文章主要讲述新的研究发现，考场天花板的高度与学生的表现之间存在联系，天花板很高的宽敞开放的房间会让学生更难专注于眼前的事物。所以这篇文章应出现在“科学”研究栏目。故选B项。 D US and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth. This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this? Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents. It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time. Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. 12．How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater? A．By analyzing its chemical composition. B．By testing atomic bomb. C．By examining its freshness. D．By finding its time stamp. 13．What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater? A．It’s limited. B．It’s fresh. C．It’s vital. D．It’s abundant. 14．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Water evaporating. B．Water leaking from river beds. C．Water getting into rocks. D．Water being used by all the plants. 15．What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about? A．Groundwater sustainability. B．Climate variability. C．Groundwater exploration. D．Global warming. 【答案】12．D 13．A 14．C 15．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地下水成为地球上最大的活跃淡水资源的现象以及地下水的可持续性。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. (人类在开始测试原子武器时，在地球上引入了一个方便的时间标记。这一时间戳可以在水、岩石和生物体中找到。通过检测地下水中是否存在来自核试验的放射性物质，研究人员可以估计大约6%的地下水年龄小于50岁)”可知，研究人员通过找出核弹测试所留下的时间戳来估算地下水的年龄。故选D。 13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of "modern" groundwater spread equally over the continents. (如果这些水平均分布在各大洲，那么只有3米深的“现代”地下水平均分布在各大洲)”可知，人们认为这种“现代”地下水是有限的。故选A项。 14．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. (无论是现在还是过去，水都必须进入岩石内部。这意味着降雨量必须大于从陆地表面蒸发的水量，并且大于所有植物使用的水量。当这种情况发生时，淡水可以从河床“泄漏”的水或通过土壤的雨水中补充地下水)”可知，this指代上文提到的水进入岩石。A. Water evaporating水蒸发；B. Water leaking from river beds河床漏水；C. Water getting into rocks水渗入岩石；D. Water being used by all the plants水被所有植物使用。故选C项。 15．主旨大意题。通读最后三段，尤其是根据倒数第三段中“It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. (有人可能会说，如果我们只使用这种现代地下水，那么这是可持续的，因为我们知道，在过去的50年里，它已经被自然过程所取代或补充)”和倒数第二段中“When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. (当这种情况发生时，淡水可以从河床“泄漏”的水或通过土壤的雨水中补充地下水)”以及最后一段中“Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. (地下水补给也将随着全球变暖而改变)”可知，最后三段主要讲地下水的可持续性。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 What comes to mind when you think about chocolate? A candy bar at Halloween? Ice cream on a hot day? For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 16 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school. To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 17 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 18 Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 19 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程). Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 20 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you. A．You have the power to change the story. B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story. C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour. D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network. E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks. F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school. 【答案】16．B 17．C 18．G 19．D 20．A 【导语】本文是说明文。文中主要讲述了很多儿童从事艰巨的制作巧克力的工作而无法上学，为了改变这种现象，一些农场实行了公平交易政策。作为消费者你也能帮助这些孩子们。 16．上文“For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. (对于来自西非国家加纳的12岁男孩易卜拉欣来说，巧克力并不是甜食，而是甜点。这是关于艰苦的工作。)”指出制作巧克力是12岁男孩Ibrahim的艰辛工作，下文“But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. (但如果它们是这样，我们就会了解到易卜拉欣每天都在种植和收获可可豆，然后用可可豆制成巧克力)”是一种假设，由此可知，空处应用与下文内容相反，应该介绍我们无法了解到Ibrahim的情况，B项“巧克力上的标签并没有讲述他的故事。”符合，下文的they代指The labels on chocolate，故选B。 17．上文“To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. (为了改变这样的有害做法，一些农场采用了一种称为Fairtrade的方法。)”指出为了严禁雇佣儿童，一些农场使用了叫做Fairtrade的方法，空处承接上文，对此方法进行介绍，C项“Fairtrade是一种禁止童工的经营方式。”符合，故选C。 18．上文“Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers.(由于农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格。)”指出农民共同工作而不是相互竞争，他们可以向买家索要更高的价格，空处承接上文，指出这么做的好处，G项“有了更多的收入，农民就可以支付成年工人的工资并可以送孩子上学。”符合，承接上文，故选G。 19．上文“Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products.(像你这样的消费者也可以发挥作用。如果可能的话，你可以购买公平贸易巧克力，向糖果公司施加压力，要求其改变劳工惯例，或者要求当地商店销售公平贸易产品。)”可知，许多儿童从事艰巨劳动而不能上学，对此消费者可以发挥一些作用来帮助他们，上文具体提出了消费者可以做的事，空处也应是具体措施，D项“你还可以通过公平贸易学校网络采取行动。”符合，故选D。 20．上文“Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim-children who want a happy future just like you do. (巧克力有一个隐藏的故事，影响着像易卜拉欣这样的孩子——他们和你一样想要幸福的未来。)”可知，从事艰巨劳动而不能上学的儿童和你一样也想要幸福的未来，下文“By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you.(通过买公平贸易产品或只是传播这个信息，你可以让巧克力对所有孩子来说都像对你一样甜。)”指出你可以帮助这些孩子——购买公平贸易产品或只是传播公平交易这个信息，由此可知，空处应该是引起下文，指出你能帮助他们，为文中讲述的像Ibrahim这样的孩子从事艰巨劳动而无法上学这样的故事做出一些改变，A项“你有能力改变这个故事。”符合，故选A。 第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On my bookshelf, next to the books I loved and the ones I never read, there was a dictionary. It wasn’t anything 21 , just a book that had been there forever. I was going through a 22 time. Work was a mess, and I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere. Then I saw the dictionary. I 23 it, and it felt good in my hands. As I opened its pages, a 24 word caught my eye: “resilience.” It was 25 as “the capacity to recover 26 from difficulties; toughness.” I 27 the letters with my finger, letting the meaning sink in. I kept nipping (翻动) through the pages. “Grit” was about not giving up, even when things are hard. “Serendipity” was about good luck finding you when you least 28 it. And then there was “thrive”—about growing and doing well, even in the face of 29 . I was as if the dictionary was speaking directly to my 30 , not only offering definitions but giving me a little 31 . I realized my dictionary wasn’t just a bunch of words.

No return address, no name, just words. “I opened it and it was pretty much shaming me for my yard,” Ragland said when she was interviewed. The writer of that letter accused Ragland of not caring about her home. At one point, the sender wrote that “your yard is eyesore, which is affecting the resale value of our homes,” and that Ragland needed to “do better.” “At first, I felt a little angry,” she said. But when she looked around the yard, she had to admit that her yard was in fact not pretty at all. Her neighbors’ yards were neat and surrounded by flowers. However, in her yard, the wild weeds grew randomly. There were some little flowers among the grass. Fallen leaves and some litter could be seen on the ground. It was messy. “But so much has been going on with us and our family. I just didn’t have the energy to pay attention to the environment around me.” Randa Ragland said. That’s because her focus has been on her family, especially her 3-year-old son, Jaxen, She added, “I don’t have a large family. My mom is gone, my dad is gone, my brother is gone. Besides, I have to put all my heart into taking care of my son Jaxen. He’s autistic （自闭的） and he’s non-verbal,” Ragland said. “But, a few days before his third birthday is when he was diagnosed with stage four cancer.” Ragland told CBS that throughout his life, Jaxen has been hospitalized over 20 times and has had seven surgeries. In an attempt to encourage her Facebook friends to be sympathetic and kind to their neighbors, Ragland made a Facebook post with the letter and Jaxen’s story. “My whole point was to show people you don’t know what somebody is going through,” she said. “Kindness goes such a long way. Gratitude goes such a long way.” 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。 But to her amazement, dozens of volunteers organized and jumped into action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For volunteer Joy Harding, this showing of community support has a very special meaning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But to her amazement, dozens of volunteers organized and jumped into action. A volunteer team arrived at her home , no questions asked. Some grabbed chainsaws to cut her grass and rushed to tidy up her home. But it didn’t stop there. Others hurried to the store to pick up supplies for Ragland’s family. Every person that showed up to Ragland’s home Saturday afternoon was a complete stranger to her. “Look at this! This is love,” said Joey Harding, one of the volunteers. “This is love for a stranger. We don’t even know these people.” For volunteer Joy Harding, this showing of community support has a very special meaning. Two weeks ago, he said goodbye to his six-year-old daughter for the last time. “Words can’t describe what this means to me right now,” Harding said. “It’s helping me deal with the sadness of losing my daughter. To help another family in need.” The volunteers said that they’re prepared to support Ragland’s family every step of the way. “I’m in amazement.” Ragland said. “I do believe that I have a large family in this community.” 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Randa Ragland收到一封匿名信，指责她不打理自家院子。她承认院子杂乱，但因家庭原因无暇顾及。为鼓励人们善待邻居，她将信件和儿子的故事发到了脸书上。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“但令她惊讶的是，数十名志愿者组织起来，投入了行动。”可知，第一段可以描写志愿者对于Randa Ragland的帮助。 ②由第二段句首内容“对于志愿者Joy Harding来说，这种社区支持的表现具有非常特殊的意义。”可知，第二段可以描写志愿者工作的意义。 2.续写线索：志愿者到来—帮助行动—特殊的意义—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive at/get to ②抓住：grab/ grasp ③冲：rush/dash 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②惊奇：amazement/ astonishment 【点睛】【高分句型1】Some grabbed chainsaws to cut her grass and rushed to tidy up her home. ( 运用了不定式to cut作目的状语) 【高分句型2】Every person that showed up to Ragland’s home Saturday afternoon was a complete stranger to her.

When I got there, I immediately called her and said, ‘Mom, guess where I am, I’m at the Shaolin Temple!’,” says Max Yollando, a young man from the Cote d’Ivoire. Yollando is also known as Yanming, given by his teacher at the Shaolin Temple, the Buddhist monastery where the classic “Shaolin kung fu” was born, and which today is a magnet for fans from all over the world, especially more young people who attempt to join the order. At the time, Yollando was a student at Felix Houphouet-Boigny University in Abidjan. Motivated by his passion for Chinese culture, he enrolled at the Confucius Institute to study Chinese. In late 2016, he had the opportunity to visit the temple in Henan province on a three-month exchange. This experience defined his engagement with traditional Chinese culture. “I couldn’t wait to learn. The spirit of martial arts deeply impressed me,” he says. After returning to the Cote d’Ivoire, Yanming continued to practice Chinese and study traditional culture. In July 2017, he returned to the Shaolin Temple and remained there for six years. He says the most impressive things he noticed that are rooted in Chinese culture are the love of work, respect, and recognition. “Coming to China to study made me more disciplined and hardworking. Before, I was a little lazy, but the Shaolin Temple taught me to be punctual, respectful, and grateful. I learned to rise to the occasion and update my daily routine,” he adds. At the end of 2022, when he completed his studies at the temple, he began working at a Shaolin cultural center in Zambia, which is home to 30 orphans. They are taught traditional Chinese culture, including Kung Fu, as part of the curriculum. For Yollando, the purpose of studying Chinese culture was to assume the responsibility of returning to Africa to introduce Chinese values to his countrymen. 4．What can we know from the first paragraph?

C New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them. A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing. “We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower. The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted. In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results. “The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower. Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose. “Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.” 8．How is the new study different from the previous one? A．It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs B．It rules out potential factors that may influence the results C．It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality D．It finds a link between environment and student performance 9．What is future research expected to find out? A．Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students. B．Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study. C．Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings. D．Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings 10．What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms? A．Supportive. B．Objective. C．Opposing. D．Unclear. 11．In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text? A．Health B．Science C．Celebrity D．Architecture D US and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth. This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this? Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents. It could be argued that if we use only this modern groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced or recharged (被补充) by natural processes over the last 50 years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time. Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. 12．How did the researchers estimate the age of the groundwater? A．By analyzing its chemical composition. B．By testing atomic bomb. C．By examining its freshness. D．By finding its time stamp. 13．What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater? A．It’s limited. B．It’s fresh. C．It’s vital. D．It’s abundant. 14．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．Water evaporating. B．Water leaking from river beds. C．Water getting into rocks. D．Water being used by all the plants. 15．What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about? A．Groundwater sustainability. B．Climate variability. C．Groundwater exploration. D．Global warming. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 What comes to mind when you think about chocolate? A candy bar at Halloween? Ice cream on a hot day? For Ibrahim, a 12-year-old boy from the West African country of Ghana, chocolate is not about sweet treats; it is about bitter work. 16 But if they did, we would learn that Ibrahim spends his days growing and harvesting cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made. We would also learn that he is just one of more than two million children who perform this difficult labour instead of attending school. To change the harmful practices like this, some farms use an approach called Fairtrade. 17 It aims to create a different relationship between buyers (chocolate companies) and sellers (cocoa farmers) by encouraging farmers to join together to form a shared business called a cooperative. Because farmers work together instead of competing with each other, they can demand a higher price from the buyers. 18 Consumers like you can play a role as well. You can buy Fairtrade chocolate if possible, pressure candy companies to change their labour practices, or ask local stores to sell Fairtrade products. 19 It is a programme recognizing schools that provide Fairtrade products in cafeterias or include related lessons in curriculum (课程). Chocolate has a hidden story that affects children like Ibrahim—children who want a happy future just like you do. 20 By enjoying Fairtrade products or simply spreading the word, you can make chocolate as sweet for all children as it is for you. A．You have the power to change the story. B．The labels on chocolate do not tell his story. C．Fairtrade is a way of doing business that prohibits child labour. D．You can also take action through the Fairtrade Schools network. E．On many farms, children like Ibrahim perform difficult farming tasks. F．Cocoa trees grow in the tropical climates of Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia. G．With more income, farmers can pay adult workers and can send their children to school. 第三部分  语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On my bookshelf, next to the books I loved and the ones I never read, there was a dictionary.

No return address, no name, just words. “I opened it and it was pretty much shaming me for my yard,” Ragland said when she was interviewed. The writer of that letter accused Ragland of not caring about her home. At one point, the sender wrote that “your yard is eyesore, which is affecting the resale value of our homes,” and that Ragland needed to “do better.” “At first, I felt a little angry,” she said. But when she looked around the yard, she had to admit that her yard was in fact not pretty at all. Her neighbors’ yards were neat and surrounded by flowers. However, in her yard, the wild weeds grew randomly. There were some little flowers among the grass. Fallen leaves and some litter could be seen on the ground. It was messy. “But so much has been going on with us and our family. I just didn’t have the energy to pay attention to the environment around me.” Randa Ragland said. That’s because her focus has been on her family, especially her 3-year-old son, Jaxen, She added, “I don’t have a large family. My mom is gone, my dad is gone, my brother is gone. Besides, I have to put all my heart into taking care of my son Jaxen. He’s autistic （自闭的） and he’s non-verbal,” Ragland said. “But, a few days before his third birthday is when he was diagnosed with stage four cancer.” Ragland told CBS that throughout his life, Jaxen has been hospitalized over 20 times and has had seven surgeries. In an attempt to encourage her Facebook friends to be sympathetic and kind to their neighbors, Ragland made a Facebook post with the letter and Jaxen’s story. “My whole point was to show people you don’t know what somebody is going through,” she said. “Kindness goes such a long way. Gratitude goes such a long way.” 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。 But to her amazement, dozens of volunteers organized and jumped into action. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For volunteer Joy Harding, this showing of community support has a very special meaning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
