“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
24. What can we know according to the passage?
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
25. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me?
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Lin?
A. Humorous and generous. B. Devoted and enthusiastic.
C. Intelligent and independent. D. Energetic and honest.
C
The monarch butterfly population has dropped to its second-lowest number on record in Mexican forests this winter. The forests are the insects’ winter home. Their population is now worrisome as the butterfly group is already considered at risk of disappearance.
Mexico’s government and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently made public the findings of their yearly joint study on the butterflies. The research shows that the monarch butterfly presence has dropped to less than a hectare of forest area. In the mid-1990s, monarch butterflies could be found on around 18 hectares of the forest.
The findings show an almost 60 percent drop in the monarch butterfly population compared to last year’s study. It is also the second-lowest population finding since the first study took place more than thirty years ago.
Biologists believe the serious situation is caused by the higher-than-usual temperatures and dry conditions in the northwestern US where the butterfly reproduces. The weather conditions have an influence on the growth of milkweed, the plant where the butterflies lay their eggs. When the young arrive, milkweed is their food for a time.
In one of the planet’s famous wildlife migrations, the butterflies travel south as far as 4,500 kilometers from places as far north as Canada. They spend the winter in warmer Mexico, where millions of the insects stay in trees that protect them from the rain and cold.
Monarch butterfly populations change year to year. As recently as 2021, the same study showed a 35% increase to cover around 2.8 hectares. Scientists called for more action to help the insects. Such calls included the need to use less herbicides that may present a danger to milkweed and the need to protect forests. “We can’t lower our guard,” said Jorge Rickards, head of WWF’s Mexico office.
28. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. The reasons for the Monarch butterfly population decrease.
B. The findings of the research on the Monarch butterfly population.
C. The efforts Mexico’s government and World Wildlife Fund have made.
D. The effects of the Monarch butterfly population decrease on the environment.
29. How does hot weather influence the monarch butterflies?
A. They fly to as far as Canada. B. They likely have less to eat.
C. They stop living in tall trees. D. They have to feed more babies.
30 What do scientists suggest about monarch butterflies?
A. Taking more steps to protect them. B. Stopping them eating more leaves.
C. Studying them as much as possible. D. Checking their number quickly.
31 Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A New-found Insect in Mexican Forests
B. The Purpose of the World Wildlife Fund
C The Secret of Monarch Butterflies’ Travel
D. A Big Fall in Monarch Butterfly Population
D
What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggle stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.
32. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They don’t have inborn talent,
C. They are short of confidence. D. They have no ability to study science
33. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
34. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. obvious B. bad C. doubtful D. small
35. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.

【原文】M: It’s a great honour to have this opportunity to share something about myself with you. The most unforgettable experience I’ve ever had? Well, that was three years ago when I was in college. I spent a term studying in London. Even though we speak the same language, English people and Americans are very different. They think that we Americans are friendly and that we want to be successful and rich. And I think the British are quiet and gentle. I love the lifestyle there. Going out for afternoon tea was fun, and I always did that with my friends. And I really love the old buildings. We don’t have anything that old in the United States, so it is pretty amazing! By the way, I’ve also been to Australia once. The buildings there aren’t so attractive either. The British also have a different sense of humor. Their TV shows are really funny. I’d like to say my experience was a pleasant one. In fact, I’m saving up money so I can go back there again.

“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
24. What can we know according to the passage?
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
25. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me?
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.

The monarch butterfly population has dropped to its second-lowest number on record in Mexican forests this winter. The forests are the insects’ winter home. Their population is now worrisome as the butterfly group is already considered at risk of disappearance.
Mexico’s government and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently made public the findings of their yearly joint study on the butterflies. The research shows that the monarch butterfly presence has dropped to less than a hectare of forest area. In the mid-1990s, monarch butterflies could be found on around 18 hectares of the forest.
The findings show an almost 60 percent drop in the monarch butterfly population compared to last year’s study. It is also the second-lowest population finding since the first study took place more than thirty years ago.
Biologists believe the serious situation is caused by the higher-than-usual temperatures and dry conditions in the northwestern US where the butterfly reproduces. The weather conditions have an influence on the growth of milkweed, the plant where the butterflies lay their eggs. When the young arrive, milkweed is their food for a time.
In one of the planet’s famous wildlife migrations, the butterflies travel south as far as 4,500 kilometers from places as far north as Canada. They spend the winter in warmer Mexico, where millions of the insects stay in trees that protect them from the rain and cold.
Monarch butterfly populations change year to year. As recently as 2021, the same study showed a 35% increase to cover around 2.8 hectares. Scientists called for more action to help the insects. Such calls included the need to use less herbicides that may present a danger to milkweed and the need to protect forests. “We can’t lower our guard,” said Jorge Rickards, head of WWF’s Mexico office.
28. What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. The reasons for the Monarch butterfly population decrease.
B. The findings of the research on the Monarch butterfly population.
C. The efforts Mexico’s government and World Wildlife Fund have made.
D. The effects of the Monarch butterfly population decrease on the environment.
29. How does hot weather influence the monarch butterflies?
A. They fly to as far as Canada. B. They likely have less to eat.
C. They stop living in tall trees. D. They have to feed more babies.
30. What do scientists suggest about monarch butterflies?
A. Taking more steps to protect them. B. Stopping them eating more leaves.
C. Studying them as much as possible. D. Checking their number quickly.
31. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A New-found Insect in Mexican Forests
B. The Purpose of the World Wildlife Fund
C. The Secret of Monarch Butterflies’ Travel
D. A Big Fall in Monarch Butterfly Population
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了墨西哥越冬的帝王蝶数量急剧减少的情况及其原因。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Mexico’s government and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) recently made public the findings of their yearly joint study on the butterflies.(墨西哥政府和世界野生动物基金会(WWF)最近公布了他们每年对蝴蝶进行的联合研究的成果)”可知,第二段主要讲述了关于帝王蝶种群的研究发现。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Biologists believe the serious situation is caused by the higher-than-usual temperatures and dry conditions in the northwestern US where the butterfly reproduces. The weather conditions have an influence on the growth of milkweed, the plant where the butterflies lay their eggs. When the young arrive, milkweed is their food for a time.(生物学家认为,这种情况的严重性是由美国西北部高于往常的温度和干燥条件造成的,而帝王蝶正是在那里繁殖。这些天气条件影响了帝王蝶产卵的植物——乳草的生长。当小帝王蝶孵化出来后,乳草就是它们一段时间内的食物)”可知,炎热的天气会影响乳草的生长,从而影响小帝王蝶的食物来源,所以它们很可能有较少的食物。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Scientists called for more action to help the insects. Such calls included the need to use less herbicides that may present a danger to milkweed and the need to protect forests.(科学家们呼吁采取更多行动来帮助这些昆虫。这些呼吁包括减少可能对乳草构成危险的除草剂的使用,以及保护森林的需要)”可知,科学家建议采取更多措施来保护帝王蝶。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文及文章第一段“The monarch butterfly population has dropped to its second-lowest number on record in Mexican forests this winter.(今年冬天,墨西哥森林中的帝王蝶数量已降至有记录以来的第二低水平)”可知,文章主要讲述了帝王蝶种群数量大幅下降的情况,D项“帝王蝶种群数量大幅下降”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。
D
What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth-and 10th-graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”
Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.
But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.
During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually,” such as making mistakes while tackling a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.
Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggle stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize (共情) with the scientists during their own struggles.
32. Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?
A. They lack interest in science. B. They don’t have inborn talent
C. They are short of confidence. D. They have no ability to study science
33. What’s the purpose of the intervention?
A. To introduce some inspirational stories to students.
B. To expose students to scientists’ great achievements.
C. To ensure students will become scientists in the future.
D. To clear students’ misunderstandings of scientific work.
34. The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. obvious B. bad C. doubtful D. small
35. What can we learn from the research?
A. Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.
B. Students are more motivated by achievement stories.
C. Scientists’ struggle stories can influence readers’ beliefs.
D. Low-performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍一项研究,发现通过向高中生讲述科学家的奋斗故事,可以激励他们学习科学,并纠正他们对科学成就的误解。
【32题详解】
推理判断。根据第二段中“Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I’m not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It’s easy for them to see a scientist’s work as arising from an inborn talent.(许多同样的学生很难想象自己成为科学家,他们表示担忧,比如“我不擅长科学”和“即使我努力,我也不会做得好”。他们很容易将科学家的工作视为源自天赋)”可知,学生们很难想象自己成为科学家,因为他们认为自己不擅长科学,即使努力也不会做得好,这表明他们缺乏自信。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students’ beliefs that scientific achievement reflects ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.(哥伦比亚大学师范学院、哥伦比亚大学和华盛顿大学的研究人员设计了一项干预措施,通过向学生讲述杰出科学家在科学研究中如何奋斗和克服困难的故事,来改变学生认为科学成就反映能力而非努力的观念)”可知,这项干预的目的是改变学生认为科学成就反映能力而非努力的观念,即清除学生对科学工作的误解。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词前“Researchers found that students who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance post-intervention, relative to students in the control group.(研究人员发现,与对照组的学生相比,听了任何一种“奋斗故事”的学生在干预后的科学成绩都有所提高)”及划线词后“for whom exposure to struggle stories led to significantly better science-class performance than low-performing students who read achievement stories.(对于接触到奋斗故事的成绩较低的学生来说,其科学课的表现比阅读成就故事的成绩较低的学生要好得多)”可知,划线词所在句子表达:对于成绩较低的学生来说,这种效果尤其明显,故划线词pronounced与A项obvious“明显的”意思相近。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By identifying a scientist’s struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize with the scientists during their own struggles.(此外,阅读奋斗故事的学生报告说,他们感觉与科学家更亲近。通过了解科学家的奋斗经历,并介绍他们为取得伟大成就而采用的成长心态,学生们能够在自己奋斗时与科学家产生共鸣)”可知,科学家的奋斗故事可以影响读者的信念。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了重庆八一村通过机械化农业提高生产效率的故事。
【56题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:坐落在重庆市恒河土家族乡悬崖之中的八一村,农耕活动比平时繁忙。根据空后“than usual”可知,空处需用形容词busy的比较级busier,作表语,表示“更繁忙的”。故填busier。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:高生产力的原因是其农业设备最近已经实现了机械化,因此人们预计今年秋天将会有一个好收成。修饰动词mechanized需用副词recently。故填recently。
【58题详解】
考查关系代词。句意:在中国,机械化的农业不再是新鲜事物,但对于像八一这样的“悬崖村”来说,这些地方曾经受到低生产力和交通不便的问题困扰,机械化操作的发展具有重要意义。空格处引导定语从句,修饰先行词“cliff villages” like Bayi ,在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which/that。故填which或that。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国的机械化农业已不再是什么新鲜事,但对于像八一村这样曾经为低生产率和交通困难所困扰的“悬崖村”来说,机械化作业的发展具有重要意义。根据空前形容词great可知,空处需用名词importance作宾语,holds great importance表示“具有重要意义”。故填importance。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:该村位于湖北与恒河的北部边界,平均海拔超过1000米,人口有1949人。of后跟数量表示“拥有(多少人口)”,构成固定短语have a population of...表示“有……人口”。故填of。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了增加农业生产,八一村五年前将原来小而低产的“鸡舍地”改造成了高产、环保、高标准的农田。 动词短语increase agricultural production表示“增加农业生产”,在句中作目的状语,需用不定式形式。句首单词首字母需大写。故填To increase。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。 句意:他们采用轮作油菜籽和水稻的方法,以获得更多的作物。 根据空前介词of可知,空处需用动名词planting作宾语,表示“种植”。故填planting。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意:虽然机械化作业在很大程度上取代了传统的体力劳动,但当地政府仍然要求农民在当地公司兼职,帮助完成一些农活,尤其是在3月至5月的农忙季节。 空处需用形容词traditional作定语,修饰名词短语physical work,表示“传统的体力劳动”。故填traditional。
【64题详解】
考查代词。 句意:去年,该村还修建了一条2.6公里长的道路,使当地人更容易把农产品运出去。 根据空前动词making可知,空处需用代词it作形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的动词不定式,构成固定句型make it+adj.+for sb. to do sth.,表示“使某人做某事……”。故填it。
【65题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:现在,这条路因其对提高当地民众福祉的重要作用而被当地人称为“幸福之路”。根据时间状语Now可知,空处需用一般现在时,主语the road与谓语call之间为被动关系,需用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为单数名词,be动词需用is。故填is called。

Holly was confused as she opened the birthday present from her best friend. Susan — it was a twelve-by-eight inch dark blue carpet. Her “thanks” was hardly heard as Holly tried hard not to show her disappointment.
The next morning. I carried a kitchen rubbish bag outside only to find Susan’s carpet lying there. I immediately reached in and pulled it out of the rubbish can. After giving it a brushing. I brought it into the house and put it away.
Before Holly’s birthday, Susan had been a regular visitor in our home. But suddenly I realized that it had been nearly three weeks since we’d heard the mention of Susan’s name. I missed her warm smile very much.
“Susan invited us to go to her house after school tomorrow. “Holly said as soon as she arrived from school. From her voice I sensed she was pleased with the invitation.
We were traveling along the winding country road that led to her house the following day. On the way Susan talked nervously about her foster mom and the seventeen cats they had taken in and cared for.
When we came to a stop, Susan’s foster mom — who introduced herself as Glenda — gave us a warm welcome. Susan guided us through the house. She proudly showed us her room, which was only decorated with some shabby used furniture.
I followed Susan’s foster mom, Glenda, into the kitchen. After clearing a small area, Glenda poured us each a cup of black coffee with her trembling hand. Then she began to relax as we drank our coffee and chatted about her cats.
Her eyes shone as she showed her fondness for Susan. But her expression turned blue when she referred to the girl’s past In an instant, I came to respect this warmhearted woman who had opened her home to a younger girl and tied hard to make a difference in her life.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Is this what you were looking for?”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】As daylight began to fade, we offered our thanks for the visit and said goodbye. Holly sat quietly in the car on the way home, pressing her forehead against the window as if lost in thought. All the way we didn’t say even a single word. No sooner had we come to a stop in the driveway than she threw open the back door and flew straight to the side gate of our house. I followed her silently and my throat tightened as I observed my daughter standing by the rubbish can looking inside. Soon she puffed, paused for a second or two, and walked inside, seeming slightly anxious and irritated.
“Is this what you were looking for?” I asked her in a gentle voice as I drew out the carpet from the cupboard and placed it in front of her. She gazed at me with absolute surprise, which soon turned to wild joy. “Thanks. Thank you mom, but... “She nearly screamed out when I threw open my arms and hugged her tightly just as she did with the carpet. I could see tears shining in her crystal eyes, a drop or two splashing onto the dark blue carpet. Magically, what she once didn’t even want to refer to now turned out to be her precious birthday present.
