The world needs more goodness this holiday season — more kindness and more care for one another. During the holidays, there are simple ways to give back and help children in need.
Double Your Donation
By donating to the Matching Gift Fund, you can double the impact of your donation. For every dollar you donate, a dollar will be unlocked from the fund for donation. Moreover, it allows you to receive a 100% tax deduction (抵税) for your donation.
Raise Your Voice
It is a good chance to use your voice and your social networks to take action on serious issues that impact children during the holidays. Kids can’t vote (投票) or fight for their rights, which is why Save The Children Action Network needs you. You can even tell Congress (国会) to provide aid and protect kids’ future!
Donate Monthly
Team Tomorrow is a new way to connect with the causes you care about, from the climate crisis (气候危机) to inequality, by becoming a monthly donor. You can choose an issue you’d like to receive updates on and your donation will go to support programs that deal with your selected issue. The ongoing support of monthly donors helps ensure that an immediate action is taken when an emergency hits.
Start Your Own Fundraiser
Maybe you’ve got a secret talent for cooking, or are a long-distance cyclist. Whatever you love to do, the goal is to have fun and raise money for Save The Children! Create your own unique fundraising page on the website of the organization and share that link with your friends and family through email and social media.
1. What can we learn about donating to the Matching Gift Fund?
A. It is an effective way to double the fund.
B. It is a practical way to bring givers money.
C. It is an efficient way to help disabled children.
D. It is a win-win way to benefit givers and receivers.
2. Which way can help you fight for equal rights for children?
A. Double Your Donation. B. Raise Your Voice.
C. Donate Monthly. D. Start Your Own Fundraiser.
3. What do the last two ways have in common?
A. They require you to use social networks.
B. They enable you to offer timely donation.
C. They make your donation twice as much.
D. They bring you a personalized experience.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在假期期间可以为有需要的儿童提供帮助的几种方法。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据 “Double Your Donation”部分中“By donating to the Matching Gift Fund, you can double the impact of your donation. For every dollar you donate, a dollar will be unlocked from the fund for donation. Moreover, it allows you to receive a 100% tax deduction (抵税) for your donation.(通过向‘配捐基金’捐款,你可以让自己捐款的影响力翻倍。你每捐一美元,就会从该基金中解锁一美元用于捐赠。此外,你的这笔捐款还能享受 100% 的税收减免)”可知,捐赠者捐赠一美元,就会从基金中解锁一美元用于捐赠,扩大了捐赠影响,同时捐赠者还能100% 抵税,这对捐赠者和受助者来说是双赢的方式,故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据 “Raise Your Voice”部分中“It is a good chance to use your voice and your social networks to take action on serious issues that impact children during the holidays. Kids can’t vote (投票) or fight for their rights, which is why Save The Children Action Network needs you(这是一个绝佳机会,你可以利用自己的发声渠道和社交网络,就那些在假期中影响儿童的重大问题采取行动。孩子们无法进行投票,也无力为自己的权利抗争,这就是“拯救儿童行动网络”需要你的原因)” 可知,“Raise Your Voice”这种方式能帮助为儿童争取平等权利。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Donate Monthly”部分中“You can choose an issue you’d like to receive updates on and your donation will go to support programs that deal with your selected issue(你可以选择一个你希望获取最新消息的议题,而你的捐赠将用于支持应对你所选议题的相关项目)”可知,通过“每月捐赠(Donate Monthly)”这种方式捐赠者可以选择自己关心的议题,捐赠会用于支持选议题的相关项目,有个性化选择;根据“Start Your Own Fundraiser”部分中“Maybe you’ve got a secret talent for cooking, or are a long-distance cyclist. Whatever you love to do, the goal is to have fun and raise money(也许你身怀烹饪绝技,又或许你擅长长途骑行。无论你热爱做什么,目标都是既能享受其中乐趣,又能筹集资金)”和“Create your own unique fundraising page on the website(在网站上创建你自己独一无二的筹款页面)”可知通过“开始你自己的筹款活动(Start Your Own Fundraiser)”这种方式捐赠者可以根据自己的特长,如烹饪、骑行等,创建独特的筹款页面,也具有个性化特点。所以这两种方式的共同之处是能给捐赠者带来个性化体验。故选D项。
B
Jack DowDell loves to play kickball with his neighborhood friends. The teenager with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) lives in Salt Lake City with his family.
His parents, Devon and Kimberly DowDell, didn’t know about Down syndrome before Jack was born. “We’ve stepped into this journey that was so unknown and foreign to us, and we’ve just run with it,” Kimberly told PEOPLE.
They use their social media following on TikTok and Instagram to share about Jack’s life. They post about Jack’s love of music and his love of being active. Because he is a little smaller and slower than many of his partners, his parents worry that other kids might leave him out or fear he could get hurt.
This summer, they came up with a beautiful plan to help Jack stay active. Devon suggested a kickball game. The couple then invited the neighborhood kids to play with Jack. His only job in the game was kicking the ball, lowering the chances that he could get hurt.
“The first time, we had 10 kids, but then they went and told their friends and neighbors how fun it was.” Devon said. The games just kept getting bigger and bigger. “The kids would start shouting ‘Jack, Jack’ before he kicked the ball, and their parents were telling us how much they loved that their kids were staying active over the summer and having fun.” Devon said. The neighborhood kids clearly wanted to play with Jack. Kimberly posted a video about one of the games, reaching over 1.5 million views. She captioned (加说明文字) it, “Best dad ever! Inclusion Matters! ”
Special needs parents always need to think ahead about the best way to parent their child. What Devon and Kimberly did was so creative, making for a beautiful summer—not only for their own son Jack but also for the neighborhood kids. They not only had the time of their lives but also learned about the importance of including Jack, a teenager with Down syndrome.
4. What does the underlined word “foreign” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Unique. B. Normal. C. Strange. D. Familiar.
5. What are Jack’s parents worried much about?
A. He prefers to be active. B. He loses interest in music.
C. He feels bad about his appearance. D. He might be left by other kids in the cold.
6. Why were kickball games so attractive to kids?
A. They expected to be famous. B. They found it fun playing kickball.
C. Their parents supported the games. D. Their kickball skills could be improved.
7. What does the author stress about parenting in the last paragraph?
A. Sports benefit parent-child relationship.
B. Parents determine their children’s growth.
C. It counts to think ahead for their children.
D. It matters to develop children’s creativity.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了患有唐氏综合征的Jack DowDell如何在他的父母和邻居的帮助下享受踢球游戏,以及这个活动如何影响了整个社区的孩子。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“His parents, Devon and Kimberly DowDell, didn’t know about Down syndrome before Jack was born. ‘We’ve stepped into this journey that was so unknown and foreign to us, and we’ve just run with it,’ Kimberly told PEOPLE.(他的父母,Devon和Kimberly DowDell,在Jack出生之前并不知道唐氏综合征。“我们踏上了一段对我们来说是如此未知和foreign旅程,我们只是顺其自然,”Kimberly告诉PEOPLE。)”可知,因为Jack的父母在他出生前对唐氏综合征一无所知,所以他们踏上了一段对他们来说未知且陌生的旅程,所以“foreign”在此处意为“陌生的”。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Because he is a little smaller and slower than many of his partners, his parents worry that other kids might leave him out or fear he could get hurt.(因为他比他的许多伙伴都要小一点,慢一点,他的父母担心其他孩子可能会不理他,或者担心他会受伤。)”可知,Jack的父母担心他可能会被其他孩子冷落。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The first time, we had 10 kids, but then they went and told their friends and neighbors how fun it was...The neighborhood kids clearly wanted to play with Jack.(第一次,我们有10个孩子,但后来他们告诉他们的朋友和邻居这有多有趣……邻居的孩子们显然想和Jack一起玩。)”可知,孩子们发现踢球很有趣,所以踢球游戏对他们很有吸引力。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Special needs parents always need to think ahead about the best way to parent their child.(有特殊需要的父母总是需要提前考虑如何以最好的方式抚养他们的孩子。)”可知,作者在最后一段中强调了为孩子提前考虑是很重要的。故选C。
C
Dogs are born with the ability of self-representation, according to a study published in 2019 in Animal Cognition. The tested dogs in the lab slowed down and hesitated before walking through uncomfortably small openings, showing that they rely on awareness of their body size to make decisions.
What about cats? Cats may seem solid (固体), but to some degree they’re actually liquid (液体) —at least according to one 2017 theoretical physics paper inspired by videos of cats squeezing (挤过) under doors, into small vases and down narrow gaps. Now, one researcher has taken this idea a step further, testing a group of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids.
But cats are difficult to test in the lab. With help from his co-workers, Pongrácz built a special lab that they set up in the homes of 29 cat owners. In each home, the team attached two large, cardboard panels (嵌板) to a doorframe (门框): one with five holes of the same height but reducing width and another with five holes of the same width but reducing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. The cat had to squeeze from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.
Thirty out of 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with holes of different height, 22 cats hesitated to move through the shortest. When the holes different in width, only eight cats hesitated before approaching the narrowest hole. Most cats tried to squeeze through slim openings immediately without thinking of whether they fit or not.
In nature, this hesitation in the experiment to move through short holes may be a self-protection approach, Pongrácz says. If a cat squeezes through a hole without being able to see what’s on the other side, they may be making themselves easy to hurt potentially. The fact that they still hesitate in the safety of their homes suggests that the cats also rely on their body size to plan their approach.
8. Why does the author mention the experiment on dogs in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To compare dogs with cats.
C. To present the findings of a study. D. To attract attention to dog’s behaviors.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Steps of the experiment. B. Subjects of the experiment.
C. Results of the experiment. D. Purposes of the experiment.
10. What do cats tend to consider when squeezing through a hole?
A. Area of a hole. B. Width of a hole. C. Height of a hole. D. Shape of a hole.
11. What does cats’ hesitation imply in the experiment?
A. They are solid instead of liquid.
B. They are trying to see the other side.
C. They are deciding a self-protection way.
D. They are waiting for their owners’ orders.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于猫是否能意识到自己的身体大小的一项实验。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Dogs are born with the ability of self-representation, according to a study published in 2019 in Animal Cognition. The tested dogs in the lab slowed down and hesitated before walking through uncomfortably small openings, showing that they rely on awareness of their body size to make decisions.(根据2019年发表在《动物认知》杂志上的一项研究,狗天生具有自我认知能力。实验室里接受测试的狗在穿过令人不适的小开口时会放慢速度并犹豫,这表明它们依靠对身体大小的意识来做出决定)”和第二段“What about cats?(那么猫呢?)”可知,作者在第一段提到关于狗的实验是为了引出对猫的相关讨论,也就是为了引出话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“But cats are difficult to test in the lab. With help from his co-workers, Pongrácz built a special lab that they set up in the homes of 29 cat owners. In each home, the team attached two large, cardboard panels (嵌板) to a doorframe (门框): one with five holes of the same height but reducing width and another with five holes of the same width but reducing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. The cat had to squeeze from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.(但是,在实验室里对猫进行测试很困难。在同事们的帮助下,庞格拉茨(Pongrácz)建立了一个特殊的实验室,他们将其设置在29位猫主人的家中。在每个家庭里,团队在门框上安装了两块大型的纸板嵌板:一块嵌板上有五个高度相同但宽度逐渐减小的洞,另一块嵌板上有五个宽度相同但高度逐渐减小的洞。猫主人站在嵌板的一侧,而猫和实验者站在另一侧。在拍摄过程中,猫需要从实验者所在的一侧挤过洞到达主人所在的一侧)”可知,第三段主要讲述了实验是如何进行的,即实验的步骤。故选A。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When faced with holes of different height, 22 cats hesitated to move through the shortest. When the holes different in width, only eight cats hesitated before approaching the narrowest hole.(当面对不同高度的洞时,22只猫犹豫着不愿穿过最短的洞。当洞的宽度不同时,只有八只猫在接近最窄的洞之前犹豫了一下)”可知,在面对不同高度的洞时,更多的猫会犹豫,这说明猫在挤过一个洞时更倾向于考虑洞的高度。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In nature, this hesitation in the experiment to move through short holes may be a self-protection approach, Pongrácz says.(Pongrácz说,在自然界中,实验中穿过短洞时的这种犹豫可能是一种自我保护的方法)”可推知,在实验中,猫的犹豫意味着它们正在决定一种自我保护的方式。故选C。
D
When your child does something you’re really proud of, you could immediately be to say “good girl!” or “good boy!” without even thinking about it. However, child psychologists (心理学家) believe parents need to rethink how we give praise, if our kids are to become adults we want them to be.
According to The Conversation praise has been a key part of parenting for many years, with 1950s psychologists recognizing the benefits of how it positively forms desired behaviours. This idea continued into the 1970s, as psychologists and child development experts continued to stress the importance of praising children with phrases such as ‘good boy’ and ‘good girl.’
However, in the 2000s, research moved forward, and away from praise being key to developing a child’s mental health. To this change, your first question may be “why are we dropping the habit of a lifetime?” The answers are rooted in psychology and the way it develops as knowledge in the area increases.
Modern psychologists believe that praising kids continuously could lead them to believe they need to act and make choices to gain adults’ agreements, preventing their ability to make good choices on their own. Some research has even pointed over-praise, including words such as ‘amazing’ and ‘unbelievable,’ results in an unrealistic sense of what kids can actually achieve. Adults offering lots of praises, could find their children always need more praises to do the right thing.
So our real focus should be on helping children develop a positive sense of identity — rather than thinking highly of themselves. We need to shift towards a sense of safety and belonging in kids. The end result of this should be children feeling confident in their own ability to feel comfortable with their actions, rather than relying on outside forces such as parental praise.
As a parent, you can give realistic feedback (反馈). For example, “Well done. I can see you’re trying there with your handstands,” instead of “Amazing handstands! You are extremely amazing at gymnastics!”
12. What was the parenting idea of praise rooted in before the 2000s?
A. The side effects it had on kids. B. The desired benefits it brought.
C. The research experts conducted. D. The popularity it gained among parents.
13. Which feedback might be well received now by experts?
A. So good a girl. B. Unbelievable handstands.
C. Extremely amazing. D. Well done. I see you’re trying.
14. Why should parents’ praise focus on children’s sense of identity?
A. To help them know their real ability.
B. To make them not depend on parents.
C. To help them think highly of themselves.
D. To guide them to make use of outside forces.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The harm over-praise does to kids. B. The development of parenting ideas.
C. The importance of parents’ realistic praise. D. The positive effects parental praise produces.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了育儿理念中关于表扬的变化,指出过度表扬可能带来的问题,并强调现实表扬的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“According to The Conversation, praise has been a key part of parenting for many years, with 1950s psychologists recognizing the benefits of how it positively forms desired behaviours. This idea continued into the 1970s, as psychologists and child development experts continued to stress the importance of praising children with phrases such as ‘good boy’ and ‘good girl’.(据《对话》杂志称,多年来,表扬一直是育儿的重要组成部分,20世纪50年代的心理学家认识到表扬如何积极塑造期望行为的益处。这一观念一直持续到20世纪70年代,心理学家和儿童发展专家继续强调用‘好孩子’等短语表扬孩子的重要性。)”可知,2000年以前,表扬的育儿理念是基于它带来的预期好处,即它积极地塑造了期望的行为。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a parent, you can give realistic feedback (反馈). For example, ‘Well done. I can see you’re trying there with your handstands,’ instead of ‘Amazing handstands! You are extremely amazing at gymnastics!’(作为父母,你可以给出真实的反馈。例如,‘干得好。我看到你在努力做倒立,’而不是‘惊人的倒立!你的体操太神奇了!’。)”可知,专家现在可能会欢迎的反馈是“干得好。我看到你在努力”,因为它是一种更真实、更具体的表扬方式。故选D。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So our real focus should be on helping children develop a positive sense of identity — rather than thinking highly of themselves. We need to shift towards a sense of safety and belonging in kids. The end result of this should be children feeling confident in their own ability to feel comfortable with their actions, rather than relying on outside forces such as parental praise.(所以,我们真正的重点应该是帮助孩子发展积极的认同感——而不是让他们高估自己。我们需要转向给孩子一种安全感和归属感。这样做的最终结果应该是让孩子们对自己的能力感到自信,对自己的行为感到舒适,而不是依赖外部力量,比如父母的表扬。)”可知,父母的表扬要关注孩子的认同感是为了帮助他们了解自己的真实能力,并对自己的行为感到舒适和自信。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首先介绍了过去和现在育儿理念中关于表扬的变化,然后指出了过度表扬可能带来的问题,最后强调了现实表扬的重要性,即帮助孩子发展积极的认同感,让他们对自己的能力感到自信,而不是依赖父母的表扬。由此可知,这篇文章主要讲的是父母现实表扬的重要性。故选C。

Jack DowDell loves to play kickball with his neighborhood friends. The teenager with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) lives in Salt Lake City with his family.
His parents, Devon and Kimberly DowDell, didn’t know about Down syndrome before Jack was born. “We’ve stepped into this journey that was so unknown and foreign to us, and we’ve just run with it,” Kimberly told PEOPLE.
They use their social media following on TikTok and Instagram to share about Jack’s life. They post about Jack’s love of music and his love of being active. Because he is a little smaller and slower than many of his partners, his parents worry that other kids might leave him out or fear he could get hurt.
This summer, they came up with a beautiful plan to help Jack stay active. Devon suggested a kickball game. The couple then invited the neighborhood kids to play with Jack. His only job in the game was kicking the ball, lowering the chances that he could get hurt.
“The first time, we had 10 kids, but then they went and told their friends and neighbors how fun it was.” Devon said. The games just kept getting bigger and bigger. “The kids would start shouting ‘Jack, Jack’ before he kicked the ball, and their parents were telling us how much they loved that their kids were staying active over the summer and having fun.” Devon said. The neighborhood kids clearly wanted to play with Jack. Kimberly posted a video about one of the games, reaching over 1.5 million views. She captioned (加说明文字) it, “Best dad ever! Inclusion Matters! ”
Special needs parents always need to think ahead about the best way to parent their child.

Dogs are born with the ability of self-representation, according to a study published in 2019 in Animal Cognition. The tested dogs in the lab slowed down and hesitated before walking through uncomfortably small openings, showing that they rely on awareness of their body size to make decisions.
What about cats? Cats may seem solid (固体), but to some degree they’re actually liquid (液体) —at least according to one 2017 theoretical physics paper inspired by videos of cats squeezing (挤过) under doors, into small vases and down narrow gaps. Now, one researcher has taken this idea a step further, testing a group of cats to see when they act more like liquids or solids.
But cats are difficult to test in the lab. With help from his co-workers, Pongrácz built a special lab that they set up in the homes of 29 cat owners. In each home, the team attached two large, cardboard panels (嵌板) to a doorframe (门框): one with five holes of the same height but reducing width and another with five holes of the same width but reducing height. An owner stood on one side of the panel while the cat and the experimenter stood on the other. The cat had to squeeze from the experimenter’s side to the owner’s side through the holes while being filmed.
Thirty out of 38 cats finished the experiment. When faced with holes of different height, 22 cats hesitated to move through the shortest. When the holes different in width, only eight cats hesitated before approaching the narrowest hole. Most cats tried to squeeze through slim openings immediately without thinking of whether they fit or not.
In nature, this hesitation in the experiment to move through short holes may be a self-protection approach, Pongrácz says. If a cat squeezes through a hole without being able to see what’s on the other side, they may be making themselves easy to hurt potentially. The fact that they still hesitate in the safety of their homes suggests that the cats also rely on their body size to plan their approach.
8. Why does the author mention the experiment on dogs in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To compare dogs with cats.
C. To present the findings of a study. D. To attract attention to dog’s behaviors.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Steps of the experiment. B. Subjects of the experiment.
C. Results of the experiment. D. Purposes of the experiment.
10. What do cats tend to consider when squeezing through a hole?
A. Area of a hole. B. Width of a hole. C. Height of a hole. D. Shape of a hole.
11. What does cats’ hesitation imply in the experiment?
A. They are solid instead of liquid.
B. They are trying to see the other side.
C. They are deciding a self-protection way.
D. They are waiting for their owners’ orders.
D
When your child does something you’re really proud of, you could immediately be to say “good girl!” or “good boy!” without even thinking about it. However, child psychologists (心理学家) believe parents need to rethink how we give praise, if our kids are to become adults we want them to be.
According to The Conversation, praise has been a key part of parenting for many years, with 1950s psychologists recognizing the benefits of how it positively forms desired behaviours. This idea continued into the 1970s, as psychologists and child development experts continued to stress the importance of praising children with phrases such as ‘good boy’ and ‘good girl.’
However, in the 2000s, research moved forward, and away from praise being key to developing a child’s mental health. To this change, your first question may be “why are we dropping the habit of a lifetime?” The answers are rooted in psychology and the way it develops as knowledge in the area increases.
Modern psychologists believe that praising kids continuously could lead them to believe they need to act and make choices to gain adults’ agreements, preventing their ability to make good choices on their own. Some research has even pointed over-praise, including words such as ‘amazing’ and ‘unbelievable,’ results in an unrealistic sense of what kids can actually achieve. Adults offering lots of praises, could find their children always need more praises to do the right thing.
So our real focus should be on helping children develop a positive sense of identity — rather than thinking highly of themselves. We need to shift towards a sense of safety and belonging in kids. The end result of this should be children feeling confident in their own ability to feel comfortable with their actions, rather than relying on outside forces such as parental praise.
As a parent you can give realistic feedback (反馈). For example, “Well done. I can see you’re trying there with your handstands,” instead of “Amazing handstands! You are extremely amazing at gymnastics!”
12. What was the parenting idea of praise rooted in before the 2000s?
A. The side effects it had on kids. B. The desired benefits it brought.
C. The research experts conducted. D. The popularity it gained among parents.
13. Which feedback might be well received now by experts?
A. So good a girl. B. Unbelievable handstands.
C. Extremely amazing. D. Well done. I see you’re trying.
14. Why should parents’ praise focus on children’s sense of identity?
A. To help them know their real ability.
B. To make them not depend on parents.
C. To help them think highly of themselves.
D. To guide them to make use of outside forces.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A The harm over-praise does to kids. B. The development of parenting ideas.
C. The importance of parents’ realistic praise. D. The positive effects parental praise produces.
