Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”
Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs.
Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.”
24. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______.
A. the origin of BallMatics B. the challenges facing BallMatics
C. the start of a lifelong friendship D. the dedication of the young teachers
25. What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”?
A The students’ progress in their mathematic skills.
B. The students’ changed attitude towards math.
C. The data collected about the students’ goal percentage.
D. The efficiency in determining the winning team.
26. What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas?
A. They will be forbidden to leave any training session.
B. They will be obliged to earn a training degree first.
C. They will have to attend classes at a private school.
D. They will be banned from playing in the game.
27. The best title for the article is ______.
A. The Basics of Math B. The Road to Success
C. A Sports Principle D. A Numbers Game
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来,创立了BallMatics课程,让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力,并介绍了该课程的发展历程和影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.(将篮球和数学相结合的想法在 2011 年首次得到尝试,当时这两位如今的同事——他们已经创办了一个非营利性的辅导机构——受邀为在乔治中学九年级数学不及格的孩子们举办一个暑期学校项目)”以及第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math.(当学生们第一天出现时,他们并不兴奋。在接下来的几个小时里,Mandekic和McNee给孩子们传授了提高投篮水平的技巧,同时也帮助他们计算了投篮命中率——这反过来又教会了他们分数和小数。游戏结束时,根据哪一组的总百分比最高并做了最有效的数学计算来决定获胜的队伍)”可知,前两段主要介绍了BallMatics课程的起源,它源于2011 年Mandekic和McNee的一次暑期教学尝试。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited.(当学生们第一天来的时候,他们并不怎么兴奋)”和“‘When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,’ says Mandekic. ‘I realized we might be onto something.’(‘当铃声响起时,他们全神贯注于收集数据和计算哪支球队获胜,以至于他们都没有离开,’Mandekic说。‘我意识到我们可能找到了某种方法。’)”可知,是学生们对数学态度的改变让Mandekic和McNee意识到他们“可能找到了某种方法(might be onto something)”。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,’ he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class.(‘如果我们不做作业,我们就不能参加比赛,’他说,并补充说教练会让跟不上课堂的孩子坐冷板凳)”可知,根据Douglas的说法,在课堂上表现不好的孩子将被禁止参加比赛。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011(将篮球和数学结合起来的想法在2011年首次得到尝试)”以及后文关于BallMatics课程的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来,让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力。D项“A Numbers Game (数字比赛)”既体现了文章中的数学元素,又暗示了篮球比赛中的计分和数据分析,与文章主题紧密相关,是最佳标题。故选D项。
C
I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very anxious. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣蛋的) behaviour? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster’s office. The school doctor would tell me I haven’t received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would exempt (免除) me from the shots and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don’t vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last year, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.

细节理解题。根据第一段的“The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.(我只有两个月大的时候注射过破伤风疫苗。在那之后,什么都没有)”和第二段中“The school doctor would tell me I hadn’t received any of the necessary shots to attend school.(学校的医生会告诉我,我没有接受过任何必要的上学必须要进行的接种)”可知,作者几乎从来没有接种过疫苗。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous behavior? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster’s office.(每学年开始的时候,我都很紧张。迟交了学期论文吗?淘气的行为?上学迟到吗?一个都不是。我会被拉出教室,带到校长办公室)”可知,作者将被叫到校长办公室,让作者在每学年开始时感到紧张。故选D。

D
A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete (混凝土) and steel can reduce emissions (排放). But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled (塑造) how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion (份额) of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
32. What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger?
A. They got wrong statistics. B. They used an incorrect concept.
C. They included too many factors. D. They were applied in limited countries.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the new research. B. The background of the new study.
C. The challenge of the new research. D. The achievements of the new study.
34. Which is CORRECT according to the passage?
A. Using concrete and steel can reduce emissions.
B. All of timber product can can take the place of the concrete amd steel.
C. Only small part of wood can get into timber.
D. We all should use wood to build our houses.
35. What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。新的研究表明,用木材建造的建筑可能并不像想象中的那么环保。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). (但普林斯顿大学的Tim Searchinger表示,许多研究都是基于一个错误的基础,即砍伐木材是碳中和的)”可知,Searchinger认为以前的研究都基于一个错误的概念。故选B项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled(塑造) how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel. (在世界资源研究所(World Resources Institute)的一份报告中,Searchinger和他的同事们模拟了在2010年至2050年期间,使用更多的木材用于建筑将如何影响排放,其中包括砍伐木材产生的排放。他们考虑了各种类型的森林和用于建筑的部分木材。他们还考虑了更换混凝土和钢材所节省的排放。)”可知,第二段主要介绍新研究的过程。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building (只有一小部分木材被制成木制品,其中的一部分被制成可以取代建筑中的混凝土和钢材的木制品)”可知,只有一小部分木头能进入木材。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct, but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.””(芬兰阿尔托大学的阿里·阿米里表示,报告中关于需求增长导致的排放的结论可能是正确的,但对于我们已经收获的木材来说,情况就不同了。他说:“提高当前收成的效率,并将更多的木材用于比纸张寿命更长的目的,将减少排放。”。“我们不能只是说我们应该停止使用木材。”)”可知,Ali Amiri对此研究结果有一定的肯定性,但是他又表示我们不能说我们就应该停止使用木材。故他对此研究结果从正反两方面都进行了说明,其态度是客观公正的。故选D项。

考查形容词。句意:任何参加在德黑兰大学举行的中国文化周的游客都会对中国茶、中国食品以及通过各种中国结艺和传统剪纸制作的艺术作品感到惊讶——所有这些都是由学习中文的伊朗学生展示的。空处修饰名词短语paper cutting,应用形容词traditional,作定语。故填traditional。

【58题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:该活动在该学院的大厅举行,展示了一系列包含不同中国文化元素的艺术品,这些艺术品由该大学的伊朗教授和学生创作。该学院成立于2009年。设空处使用动词作谓语,句中which指代前文的lobby,其与establish之间是被动关系,同时in 2009为一般过去时时间标志,故此处使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was established。

【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:中国是世界第二大经济体、人口最多的国家,也是联合国安全理事会的常任理事国,因此,正如世界上许多人已经意识到的那样,学习中文已经成为一种必然。结合前后文语境可知此处为“and”连接的三个并列的短语作China的同位语,表示“中国是世界第二大经济体、人口最多的国家,也是联合国安全理事会的常任理事国”。故填and。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“这里的每个学生都是一扇通往中国的窗户,帮助伊朗人民对这个国家有更现实的了解,这将使从长远来看改善双边关系成为可能,”他补充道。句中is为谓语动词,help在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语Each of the students构成主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。故填helping。

When I was a little girl, I was crazy about snow and winter was my favorite season. I still remember playing with my friends and family with the snow falling all around. I loved to watch the snowflakes flying in all directions.
There was a strong desire inside me that I was eager to have my own snow as a special gift on my birthday. To my great disappointment, the snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. I was completely mad. I just hungered for my birthday snow. I asked my beloved grandmother why it didn’t snow on my birthday over and over again. She laughed, telling me I had asked the same question for too many times. At the same time she promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest and we agreed to keep it our secret. When I begged her for my next birthday snow with eagerness, she just patted me on the shoulder gently, not giving a definite reply.
That cold winter, before my birthday, my grandmother died. I was deeply sad, but a bit angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my tenth birthday, I wok e up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. No luck. I cried and cried, thinking about my grandmother and the dream promise. There were still friends, gifts and a big dinner; there was still no snow. What’s worse, there was no my beloved grandmother.
I would pray for my birthday snow in the following years, but it never came. Never!
By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
I was outside with a friend when she asked me if I was having a good time. I told her I was having the best time ever! I was enjoying life to the fullest. Then I saw the white snow falling all around. I behaved like a little child on Christmas morning as I ran around screaming and laughing. She asked me if I had ever seen snow before. I laughed, saying I had. However, it was a special snow, my snow. She laughed at my childish action, but I didn’t care.
When I got home, my mother told me there was a surprise for me. I wondered what it was. She gave me a small white box that had snowflake wrapping on it. I asked her what it was and she told me to stop asking so many questions and just open it. I did. Surprisingly, it was a handwritten letter from my beloved grandmother. Mum told me that it was my grandmother’s final wish to give me this on my “sweet sixteenth”. I cried and hugged my mum, although she didn’t understand. I said a silent prayer to my smiling grandmother, who I was certain was, and always had been, watching over me.

Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.
When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.”
The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.”
Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs.
Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.”
24. The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______.
A. the origin of BallMatics B. the challenges facing BallMatics
C. the start of a lifelong friendship D. the dedication of the young teachers
25. What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”?
A. The students’ progress in their mathematic skills.
B. The students’ changed attitude towards math.
C. The data collected about the students’ goal percentage.
D. The efficiency in determining the winning team.
26. What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas?
A. They will be forbidden to leave any training session.
B. They will be obliged to earn a training degree first.
C. They will have to attend classes at a private school.
D. They will be banned from playing in the game.
27. The best title for the article is ______.
A. The Basics of Math B. The Road to Success
C. A Sports Principle D. A Numbers Game
C
I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破伤风) when I was two months old. After that, nothing.
At the beginning of each school year, I was very anxious. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (捣蛋的) behaviour? Late for school? None of them. I’d be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster’s office. The school doctor would tell me I haven’t received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would exempt (免除) me from the shots and nothing would happen.
After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don’t vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.
Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last year, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.
I did something every person should do. It wasn’t special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don’t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccinated despite the opposition.
28. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?
A. He was born disabled. B. He suffered from tetanus.
C. He was hardly vaccinated. D. He was spoiled by his mother.
29. Why did the author feel nervous at the beginning of each school year?
A. Because he would never behave himself.
B. Because he couldn’t go to school on time.
C. Because he often forgot to do his term paper.
D. Because he would be called to meet headmaster.
30 How might the author’s mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?
A. Grateful B. Annoyed C. Excited D. Guilty
31. What message does the author try to convey through his story?
A. Obeying the old pays off. B. Keeping fit is the best policy.
C. Doing the right thing matters. D. Following advice is beneficial.
D
A recent study has found that using wood for construction instead of concrete (混凝土) and steel can reduce emissions (排放). But Tim Searchinger at Princeton University says many of these studies are based on the false foundation that harvesting wood is carbon neutral (碳中和). “Only a small percentage of the wood gets into a timber (木料) product, and a part of that gets into a timber product that can replace concrete and steel in a building,” he says. Efficiencies vary in different countries, but large amounts of a harvested tree are left to be divided into parts, used in short-lived products like paper or burned for energy, all of which generate emissions.
In a report for the World Resources Institute, Searchinger and his colleagues have modelled (塑造) how using more wood for construction would affect emissions between 2010 and 2050, accounting for the emissions from harvesting the wood. They considered various types of forests and parts of wood going towards construction. They also factored in the emissions savings from replacing concrete and steel.
Under some circumstances, the researchers found significant emissions reductions. But each case required what they considered an unrealistically high portion (份额) of the wood going towards construction, as well as rapid growth only seen in warmer places, like Brazil. In general, they found a large increase in global demand for wood would probably lead to rising emissions for decades. Accounting for emissions in this way, the researchers reported in a related paper that increasing forest harvests between 2010 and 2050 would add emissions equal to roughly 10 percent of total annual emissions.
Ali Amiri at Aalto University in Finland says the report’s conclusions about emissions from rising demand are probably correct but the story is different for wood we already harvest. “Boosting the efficiency of current harvests and using more wood for longer lived purposes than paper would cut emissions,” he says. “We cannot just say we should stop using wood.”
32. What is wrong with previous researches according to Searchinger?
A. They got wrong statistics. B. They used an incorrect concept.
C. They included too many factors. D. They were applied in limited countries.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The process of the new research. B. The background of the new study.
C. The challenge of the new research. D. The achievements of the new study.
34. Which is CORRECT according to the passage?
A. Using concrete and steel can reduce emissions.
B. All of timber product can can take the place of the concrete amd steel.
C. Only small part of wood can get into timber.
D. We all should use wood to build our houses.
35. What is Ali Amiri’s attitude toward the new result?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Objective.

When I was a little girl, I was crazy about snow and winter was my favorite season. I still remember playing with my friends and family with the snow falling all around. I loved to watch the snowflakes flying in all directions.
There was a strong desire inside me that I was eager to have my own snow as a special gift on my birthday. To my great disappointment, the snow disappeared before my birthday and started after it. I was completely mad. I just hungered for my birthday snow. I asked my beloved grandmother why it didn’t snow on my birthday over and over again. She laughed, telling me I had asked the same question for too many times. At the same time she promised that she would make it snow when I was enjoying life to the fullest and we agreed to keep it our secret. When I begged her for my next birthday snow with eagerness, she just patted me on the shoulder gently, not giving a definite reply.
That cold winter, before my birthday, my grandmother died. I was deeply sad, but a bit angry because she had promised me to make it snow. The day of my tenth birthday, I wok e up and ran to my window, hoping to see just one snowflake. No luck. I cried and cried, thinking about my grandmother and the dream promise. There were still friends, gifts and a big dinner; there was still no snow. What’s worse, there was no my beloved grandmother.
I would pray for my birthday snow in the following years, but it never came. Never!
By my sixteenth birthday, I had lost all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it. During my party, I had the best time ever! I enjoyed the company of my friends and family, and I was truly happy.
