Los Angeles residents Joe Blackstone and Jamie Mohn have long recognized the lasting impact storytelling can have on a child’s life. Shortly after getting married, the couple began volunteering to read books to elementary school kids. Then, when they became parents themselves, they created the J3 Foundation to help organizations devoted to children’s growth. But after learning two-thirds of fourth graders who cannot read effectively end up on welfare, Blackstone and Mohn decided to take a more hands-on approach: in 2018, they launched J3’s Cozy Reading Club.
Each session of the two-hour, after-school program is free and includes outdoor activities and a healthy snack. Then, it’s time for some comfortable reading. After teachers read a book aloud and the group talks about the storyline freely, the kids find a spot to sit while grabbing a book of their choice to look through. In the end, they get to choose two books to borrow and take home.
In its first year, J3’s Cozy Reading Club served 15 students in one L. A. -area classroom. As of 2022, it had expanded to 17 schools across four different districts, impacting a total of at least 400 students, the vast majority of whom live in underserved communities. With impressive statistics backing it up 90% of the students have significantly improved their reading scores, and 95% say they’ve started reading for fun since taking part in the program——its founders have much to celebrate.
“Having more than 5,000 culturally relevant books available to them is so exciting. I love it when our students can see themselves and their classmates’ lives reflected in the books they are reading. The hope of changing one kid at a time makes all the work worthwhile,” Blackstone said.
Currently, J3 is in the process of raising $864,000, so the Cozy Reading Club can expand to an additional 24 Los Angeles schools and double its book collection to 10,000. This is worthwhile. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reported that 68% of U. S. fourth graders weren’t skilled at reading in 2022, up from 66% in 2019.
4. What can be inferred about Blackstone and Mohn?
A. They are children’s writers. B. They teach reading in a school.
C. They value kids’ development. D. They’ve donated much to charities.
5. What can children do in J3’s Cozy Reading Club?
A. Learn the history of books. B. Discuss a book’s plot.
C. Cook and have snacks. D. Buy interesting books.
6. What are the statistics in Paragraph 3 about regarding J3’s Cozy Reading Club?
A. Its great achievements. B. Its various services.
C. Its long-term goals. D. Its current programs.
7. Why does the author mention NAEP in the last paragraph?
A. To state reading is significant. B. To show J3 is a necessary cause.
C. To assess J3’s potential abilities. D. To criticize America’s education.

There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and structures. Charles the Great said: “To have a second language is to have a second soul.” This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.
In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language precision are valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like “perhaps” and “maybe” are used more than “yes” or “no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore, it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.
People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue. Take an accident. In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime and punishment.
Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”
Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.
8. Why does the author mention “Americanism” and “the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?
A. To tell the cultural differences between them.
B. To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.
C. To stress American expressions are informal.
D. To reveal a language is associated with status.
9. How will English speakers’ react to an accident?
A. They will seek blame. B. They will punish others.
C. They will avoid responsibility. D. They will draw a lesson from it.
10. What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?
A. They enjoy a more colorful life. B. They can remain mentally healthy.
C. They find it easier to learn a language. D. They can gain insight into others’ minds.
11. Which one can be the best title for the text?
A. How do languages differ? B. Will your language be extinct?
C. Why does our mother tongue matter? D. Should we speak a second language?
D
Cities are difficult to navigate(导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.
12. What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. The survey that compared adults’ mobility.
B. The smart industry that is booming.
C. The fact that the disabled traveled less.
D. The role that the assistive tech plays.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The working principles of the WeWalk stick.
B. The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.
C. The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.
D. The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.
14. What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A. To show the value of smart tech.
B. To urge more attention to the blind.
C. To increase the potential market share.
D. To encourage tech research and development.
15. What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A. Confusing instructions. B. Poor navigation.
C. Inclusive designs. D. High prices.

The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵)is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl
Mahal: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne(王位). He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that he had ever seen.

The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6—7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four comers. The Taj Mahal itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical(相同的)tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

A. four-sided B. eight-cornered C. black-colored D. white-colored
19. The reason why the emperor couldn’t finish his own tomb was that________.

Wandering sounds, irregular rhythms and a carrier of gentle emotions. This is the musical language of guqin, a plucked seven string instrument created in ancient China.
The earliest piece of guqin in China, 36 (unearth) in Hubei province in 2016, dates back to the Zhou Dynasty. The body of a guqin is made of lacquered wood and the strings of twisted silk. 37 its seemingly simple appearance, making a guqin is extremely demanding. 38 outstanding piece can take anywhere from two to several decades to craft. It is a crystallization of art and time.
The guqin was favored by the literati in ancient China. The most renowned guqin 39 (music) was Yu Boya in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. 40 he played his guqin in the mountains, a woodcutter named Zhong Ziqi heard the music and understood exactly 41 Yu wanted to express.
This deep understanding formed a strong bond between them, 42 they became close friends. This is the famous tale behind the guqin masterpiece, Flowing Water, High Mountains. The piece 43 (pass) down through generations and is considered one of the most famous and important 44 (compose) in Chinese guqin music. This graceful dialogue, 45 (flow) from brushed fingertips and travelling for thousands of years, is continuing to this day.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。洛杉矶居民乔·布莱克斯通和杰米·莫恩非常关注儿童阅读能力的培养。他们创办了J3’s Cozy Reading Club,免费为孩子们提供阅读机会,提高他们的阅读技能,并取得了成功。
4. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Los Angeles residents Joe Blackstone and Jamie Mohn have long recognized the lasting impact storytelling can have on a child’s life. Shortly after getting married, the couple began volunteering to read books to elementary school kids. Then, when they became parents themselves, they created the J3 Foundation to help organizations devoted to children’s growth. (洛杉矶居民乔·布莱克斯通和杰米·莫恩早就认识到讲故事对孩子生活的持久影响。结婚后不久,这对夫妇就开始志愿为小学生读书。然后,当他们自己成为父母时,他们创建了J3基金会,以帮助致力于儿童成长的组织。)”可知,他们对孩子的成长非常重视。故选C。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After teachers read a book aloud and the group talks about the storyline freely, the kids find a spot to sit while grabbing a book of their choice to look through. (在老师大声朗读一本书,小组自由地讨论故事情节后,孩子们找一个地方坐下,拿起一本他们选择的书来翻阅。)”可知,在J3的舒适读书俱乐部,孩子们可以自由地讨论某本书的故事情节。故选B。
6. 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“In its first year, J3’s Cozy Reading Club served 15 students in one L. A.-area classroom. As of 2022, it had expanded to 17 schools across four different districts, impacting a total of at least 400 students, the vast majority of whom live in underserved communities.

7. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Currently, J3 is in the process of raising $864,000, so the Cozy Reading Club can expand to an additional 24 Los Angeles schools and double its book collection to 10,000. This is worthwhile. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reported that 68% of U. S. fourth graders weren’t skilled at reading in 2022, up from 66% in 2019. (目前,J3正在筹集86.4万美元,这样舒适阅读俱乐部就可以再扩展到洛杉矶的24所学校,并将藏书增加一倍,达到1万本。这是值得的。国家教育进步评估(NAEP)报告称,到2022年,68%的美国四年级学生不擅长阅读,高于2019年的66%。)”可知,作者提到 NAEP 的目的是想说明J3的舒适读书俱乐部所做的事情是非常必要的。故选B。

In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime and punishment.
Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”
Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.

A. To tell the cultural differences between them.
B. To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.
C. To stress American expressions are informal.
D. To reveal a language is associated with status.
9. How will English speakers’ react to an accident?
A. They will seek blame. B. They will punish others.
C. They will avoid responsibility. D. They will draw a lesson from it.
10. What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?
A. They enjoy a more colorful life. B. They can remain mentally healthy.
C. They find it easier to learn a language. D. They can gain insight into others’ minds.
11. Which one can be the best title for the text?
A. How do languages differ? B. Will your language be extinct?
C. Why does our mother tongue matter? D. Should we speak a second language?
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了我们的母语是很重要的原因。
8. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore, it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.(美国主义采取非正式的方式进行交流。因此,称呼陌生人或老板为“你”是可以的。然而,泰语有12种形式的同一个代词,要根据地位来选择一个。这样,语言在领导任何文化中都是必不可少的,不管是我们自己的文化还是其他的文化。)”可推知,作者在第二段提到“美国主义”和“泰语”是为了表明语言领导文化。故选B。
9. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. (在英语中,可以说: “她打破了玻璃。”但在西班牙语这样的语言中,你可能会说: “玻璃碎了。”同样的事件会产生两种不同的反应。说英语的人会记住谁错了,因为他们的语言要求他们这样做,而说西班牙语的人更可能记住这是一个意外。)”可知,说英语的人对意外事件会追究责任,故选A。
10. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”(语言学家 Julien Leyre 写道,学习另一种语言可以发展我们“理解他人精神世界的能力,这是基于他们使用的语言,以及理解那个语言的世界与我们自己的世界是如何不同。”)”可知,Julien Leyre认为双语者可以理解他人的精神世界,由此可推知,Julien Leyre认为双语者可以洞察别人的思想。故选D。
11. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.(这就引出了一个问题: 我们所说的语言是否决定了我们是谁?事实证明,是的。)”,第二段中“In this way, languages are essential in leading any culture, be that our own or otherwise.(这样,语言在领导任何文化中都是必不可少的,不管是我们自己的文化还是其他的文化。)”,第三段中“People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue.(说不同语言的人会注意到不同的事情,这取决于他们母语的结构。)”,倒数第二段中“ For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others.(对康明斯来说,我们的母语越强,我们学习其他语言就越容易。)”,以及最后一段中“Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. (我们的母语是我们如何思考,我们知道什么和我们是谁的中心。)”可知,文章开头提出了我们的母语是重要的,接着对此进行了解释,C项“ 为什么我们的母语很重要?”适合做文章标题,故选C。

Cities are difficult to navigate(导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like courses with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8 billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people navigate their environment is positive.
12. What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. The survey that compared adults’ mobility.
B. The smart industry that is booming.
C. The fact that the disabled traveled less.
D. The role that the assistive tech plays.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The working principles of the WeWalk stick.
B. The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.
C. The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.
D. The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.
14. What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A. To show the value of smart tech.
B. To urge more attention to the blind.
C. To increase the potential market share.
D. To encourage tech research and development.
15. What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A. Confusing instructions. B. Poor navigation.
C. Inclusive designs. D. High prices.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述残疾人比正常人旅游次数少这一现象,并指出如果设备和城市变得更加智能,这一现象将改变。并展示了智能手杖这一设备。
12. 词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. (英国一项全国旅行调查发现,2017年,行动不便的成年人比没有残疾的成年人旅游次数少了39%。然而,随着设备和城市变得更加智能,这种情况可能会改变。)”可知,划线词为指示代词that,通常指代前文的人或物,可推测在本句子指代前文提到的这一事实:行动不便的成年人更少去旅游这一社会现象。故选C项。
13. 主旨大意题。根据第三段二三句“The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a voice assistant and Google Maps. (WeWalk手杖有一个传感器,可以检测胸部以上的障碍物,并使用振动来警告用户。它可以与智能手机配对以帮助导航,并与语音助手和谷歌地图连接。)”可知,本段主要介绍了这种手杖的工作原理。故选A项。
14. 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city solutions makes it user-friendly. (Ceylan自出生以来就一直失明,他表示,将手杖连接到物联网和智能城市解决方案,使其易于使用。)”可知,Ceylan认为对他这样的盲人而言,这种手杖起到了作用,本段引用他说的话““As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be provided with the WeWalk,” he says.(“作为一个盲人,当我在地铁站时,我不知道哪个是我的出口……我不知道哪辆公共汽车来了。我周围有哪些商店?这类信息可以通过WeWalk提供。”)”也是进一步解释他在段首提出的智能手杖有价值这一观点。故选A项。
15. 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句““But they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added. (她补充道:“但它们非常昂贵…绝大多数残疾人都负担不起。”)”可知,这位专家的话语表明这种手杖的劣势是价格太贵。故选D项。

The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵)is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl
Mahal: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne(王位). He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that he had ever seen.
He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was completed. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6—7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four comers. The Taj Mahal itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical(相同的)tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.

【答案】
Dear Allen,
In your e-mail, you expressed disagreement about our teachers speaking both English and Chinese in English classes. I’m writing to give you some explanations.
Undoubtedly, lessons taught only in English provide students with a good English-learning environment, which enables them to learn more quickly and efficiently. However, this method only works for students with a high level of English proficiency. For students with poor English grades, this method may make it difficult for them to follow the teachers. Consequently, they will lose interest in learning English. In this sense, the bilingual teaching method is more effective. Personally, whichever teaching method is adopted depends largely on the students. We should focus more on learning outcomes of the teaching rather than the teaching methods.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
