B In the sleepiness at the end of a library nap, at 2 a. m., I wasn’t sure where I was. I extended my arm to reach for a human being, but what I grabbed was a used copy of The Odyssey, the book about going home. My heart ached. I wanted very much to study the Western classics, because I knew nothing about it. Western civilization was different, mysterious and thus appealing. Besides, because I longed to be accepted here, I was thirsty to understand American society. What better way to comprehend it than to study the very ideas on which it is based? But at 2 a. m., I was tired of them all: Homer, Virgil and Plato (great masters of Western classics). Their words were dull and the presentations were complicated. The professors here do not teach in the same way that teachers in China do. Studying humanities (人文学处) in China, students will be given standard interpretations during lectures. Here, professors ask questions and let the students argue, research and write papers on their own. At Yale, I often waited for the end-of-class “correct” answers, which never came. Learning Humanities here in Yale was really challenging for me. The names of the giants were impossibly difficult to pronounce and I simply didn’t write in English fast enough to take notes in class. I hoped my dedication to study would make up for lack of preparation. On weekend nights, when my American roommates were out on dates, I would tell them I had planned a date with Homer or Aristotle. During calls home every two weeks, my mother pleaded with me to take chemistry or biology. Science was the same everywhere, she said. And I, like everybody else from China, was well prepared in math, physics and chemistry. Instead, I visited the writing tutor — there is one in every undergraduate residential hall — for every paper I turned in. My papers were always written days before they were due. I often questioned professors after classes. By the time I missed home so much that soup dumplings popped up in my head as I read, my reading list had been growing. And every paper of mine came back with an A． 24．Why did the author want to learn Western classics? A．To explore the difference between Chinese and western cultures. B．To gain a certain perception of the American society. C．To satisfy his curiosity about unsolved mysteries. D．To enrich his learning experience. 25．Which of the following words can best describe the author? A．Determined and considerate. B．Sensitive and strong-willed. C．Warm-hearted and intellectual. D．Diligent and self-disciplined. 26．What can be learned about the author’s learning experience at Yale? A．He struggled with his course and grew inactive. B．He stuck to his choice and performed well in humanities eventually. C．He disapproved of the teaching style at Yale. D．He got encouragement from his mother for his choice of courses. 27．Which could be a suitable title for the text? A．Talking with the Giants: A Process of Self-awakening. B．From China to Yale: A Student’s Academic Pursuit. C．Cultural Crossroads: A Student’s Struggle with Western Customs. D．Adapting to the West: A Student’s Road to Success. C Virginia Hislop receives a master’s degree in the 2024 diploma ceremony at the age of 105. When she started at the GSE in 1936 — then the Stanford University School of Education — her plan was to get her bachelor’s of education, which she did in 1940, and obtain her master’s of education so she could teach, which she started directly after. However, just after completing her coursework and just before turning in her final thesis, her then-boyfriend George Hislop, a GSE student in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), got called in to serve during World War II, prompting the pair to get married and Virginia Hislop to leave campus before graduating. Now, 83 years after leaving campus and living in service to learning, Hislop returned to Stanford to finish what she started and receive her graduate degree. Looking back on her career, Hislop credits her time at Stanford and the things she’ s learned from community partners along the way for her ability to impact students. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she said. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” At the Diploma ceremony, GSE Dean Daniel Schwartz concurred, saying Hislop “led a life of tremendous educational accomplishment.” Her fellow graduates and their families gave her a standing ovation. When Hislop rose from her seat, dressed in cap and gown, to walk across the stage and receive her master’s hood (兜帽), the applause roared once again. She greeted Schwartz on stage and was handed her diploma. She smiled for the cameras. Her grandkids and great- grandkids waved and cheered. “My goodness,” Hislop said. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” 28．When did Virginia Hislop leave campus to marry and how old was she? A．1940; 21 B．1940; 22 C．1941; 21 D．1941; 22 29．Why did Virginia Hislop decide to return to Stanford? A．She was inspired by her family. B．She needed her master’s of education to teach. C．She benefited from it as a teacher. D．She wanted to achieve her original learning goals. 30．What does the underlined word “ovation” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Welcome. B．Salute. C．Applause. D．Farewell. 31．Which of the following can best summarize the text? A．A lifelong learning story. B．An inspirational women story. C．A teacher’s education story. D．A respected old lady’s story. D As students and scholars prepare a new academic year, the reliance on computers for note-taking and paper writing has never been greater. Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening. Among these debates, a line of research shows the lasting benefits of handwriting — an “innovation” before computers. First, handwriting enhances memory. Putting words on paper with a pen or pencil creates muscle and sensory memories, and the arrangement of words on a page feed into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning. Another best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in effective note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students’ typing wrote down almost twice as many words exactly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. Handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to synthesize (综合) and convey concepts in their own words, thus strengthening learning. Policymakers have also taken note of handwriting’s benefits. Half of the states in the USA, have responded to research advocating for continued handwriting instruction. Sweden advocates for more handwriting and fewer electronic devices, while England authorizes cursive instruction by age seven. Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy. She highlights research-backed benefits across different writing styles — from manuscript to cursive — and even typing, which aids in composing coherent passages quickly. Advocating occasional “tuning up” of handwriting skills throughout schooling and possibly into adulthood, Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development. 32．What’s the possible result of younger students using laptops in class? A．Increased engagement. B．Enhanced learning. C．Declined memory. D．Weakened attention. 33．What does the underlined words “feed into” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Enhance. B．Conclude. C．Switch. D．Influence. 34．Which of the following does Berninger agree to do? A．Replace handwriting with digital skills. B．Prioritize digital skills over handwriting. C．Balance handwriting with digital literacy. D．Teach handwriting only in early education. 35．What does the text mainly focus on? A．Handwriting vs. typing in education. B．The decline of handwriting in schools. C．The benefits of handwriting in learning. D．Technology’s impact on student engagement. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you ready to unlock endless growth? In a fast-changing world, staying successful requires constant improvement. Lifelong learning is the key to gaining unlimited knowledge. 36 Start your learning journey with books. Becoming a lifelong learner begins with reading on purpose. 37 Approach each book as a journey, not just a task. Dive deep into the ideas, challenge your current views, and expand your knowledge. Try to connect concepts and think about how they relate to your goals, not just finishing the book. Join a learning community or peer group. 38 By joining a group, you meet people who share interests and struggles with you. This helps with cooperation and support. Joining discussions, workshops, and projects deepens your learning, and getting feedback from peers speeds up your progress. It also helps grow in your career and create networking opportunities. 39 This helps you understand and apply what you’ve learned. Take a few minutes each day to reflect on your learning. Write down key ideas or experiences that stand out. Think about how they relate to your goals. This habit helps organize your thoughts, make connections, challenge old beliefs and improve your understanding. Make lifelong learning part of your life. Becoming a lifelong learner doesn’t require a big change right away. 40 Instead of scrolling through social media at breakfast, read an article you saved. Listen to a productivity podcast instead of music, or watch a documentary about a business innovator instead of a sitcom. Over time, these small changes will become lasting habits. A．Think about your life purpose. B．Write daily learning reflections. C．Interact with like-minded people. D．Let’s dive in and discover its secrets. E．Learning is both personal and shared. F．Pick topics that interest you or abilities you want to improve. G．Start with small, simple steps, like being mindful of your time. 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Haniya heard the news that her sister was getting married.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a straight-A student in the high school, I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something in the university. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Prondzinski, who was strict with his students as well as in his work. On the first day, Professor Prondzinski stood at the front of the classroom and introduced himself as the class sat silently. He then talked about the parts of the class that we would struggle with. That was definitely not how any other teacher started their introduction. With that being said, many students dropped the class because it seemed too difficult. That was exactly what Professor Prondzinski wanted, the best students in his class. I had never seen a teacher want his students to succeed in the way that he did. Professor Prondzinski had the ability to engage every single student and push them to their full potential. He always said in class, “you alone must set your own standard of excellence.” I didn’t know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. Then came the first test. I decided I’d have fun with it. The night before the test, I even treated myself to a movie. However, the next day, I was totally shocked when I found a 77, C-plus, on my test paper! English was my best subject and I had never failed in it. I went to Professor Prondzinski, who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved. There was one more test before I finally got my course grade. Because of this C- plus. I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized it was the last chance to improve my course grade. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I was surprised to find I got an A and I hurried into Professor Prondzinski’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 【单元测试 · 提升卷】 (满分：150分　时间：120分钟) 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分 7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What will the woman buy?

I extended my arm to reach for a human being, but what I grabbed was a used copy of The Odyssey, the book about going home. My heart ached. I wanted very much to study the Western classics, because I knew nothing about it. Western civilization was different, mysterious and thus appealing. Besides, because I longed to be accepted here, I was thirsty to understand American society. What better way to comprehend it than to study the very ideas on which it is based? But at 2 a. m., I was tired of them all: Homer, Virgil and Plato (great masters of Western classics). Their words were dull and the presentations were complicated. The professors here do not teach in the same way that teachers in China do. Studying humanities (人文学处) in China, students will be given standard interpretations during lectures. Here, professors ask questions and let the students argue, research and write papers on their own. At Yale, I often waited for the end-of-class “correct” answers, which never came. Learning Humanities here in Yale was really challenging for me. The names of the giants were impossibly difficult to pronounce and I simply didn’t write in English fast enough to take notes in class. I hoped my dedication to study would make up for lack of preparation. On weekend nights, when my American roommates were out on dates, I would tell them I had planned a date with Homer or Aristotle. During calls home every two weeks, my mother pleaded with me to take chemistry or biology. Science was the same everywhere, she said. And I, like everybody else from China, was well prepared in math, physics and chemistry. Instead, I visited the writing tutor — there is one in every undergraduate residential hall — for every paper I turned in. My papers were always written days before they were due. I often questioned professors after classes. By the time I missed home so much that soup dumplings popped up in my head as I read, my reading list had been growing. And every paper of mine came back with an A． 24．Why did the author want to learn Western classics? A．To explore the difference between Chinese and western cultures.

B．He stuck to his choice and performed well in humanities eventually. C．He disapproved of the teaching style at Yale. D．He got encouragement from his mother for his choice of courses. 27．Which could be a suitable title for the text? A．Talking with the Giants: A Process of Self-awakening.

When she started at the GSE in 1936 — then the Stanford University School of Education — her plan was to get her bachelor’s of education, which she did in 1940, and obtain her master’s of education so she could teach, which she started directly after. However, just after completing her coursework and just before turning in her final thesis, her then-boyfriend George Hislop, a GSE student in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), got called in to serve during World War II, prompting the pair to get married and Virginia Hislop to leave campus before graduating. Now, 83 years after leaving campus and living in service to learning, Hislop returned to Stanford to finish what she started and receive her graduate degree. Looking back on her career, Hislop credits her time at Stanford and the things she’ s learned from community partners along the way for her ability to impact students. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she said. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.” At the Diploma ceremony, GSE Dean Daniel Schwartz concurred, saying Hislop “led a life of tremendous educational accomplishment.” Her fellow graduates and their families gave her a standing ovation. When Hislop rose from her seat, dressed in cap and gown, to walk across the stage and receive her master’s hood (兜帽), the applause roared once again. She greeted Schwartz on stage and was handed her diploma. She smiled for the cameras. Her grandkids and great- grandkids waved and cheered. “My goodness,” Hislop said. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” 28．When did Virginia Hislop leave campus to marry and how old was she? A．1940; 21 B．1940; 22 C．1941; 21 D．1941; 22 29．Why did Virginia Hislop decide to return to Stanford? A．She was inspired by her family. B．She needed her master’s of education to teach.

(Virginia Hislop在2024年的毕业典礼上获得了硕士学位，当时105岁)”和下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了105岁老人Hislop重返斯坦福大学，完成83年前未完成的学业，获得硕士学位的故事，彰显了终身学习的精神，A项“一个终身学习的故事”最能概括本文。故选A项。 D As students and scholars prepare a new academic year, the reliance on computers for note-taking and paper writing has never been greater. Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening. Among these debates, a line of research shows the lasting benefits of handwriting — an “innovation” before computers. First, handwriting enhances memory. Putting words on paper with a pen or pencil creates muscle and sensory memories, and the arrangement of words on a page feed into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning. Another best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in effective note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students’ typing wrote down almost twice as many words exactly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. Handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to synthesize (综合) and convey concepts in their own words, thus strengthening learning. Policymakers have also taken note of handwriting’s benefits. Half of the states in the USA, have responded to research advocating for continued handwriting instruction. Sweden advocates for more handwriting and fewer electronic devices, while England authorizes cursive instruction by age seven. Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy. She highlights research-backed benefits across different writing styles — from manuscript to cursive — and even typing, which aids in composing coherent passages quickly. Advocating occasional “tuning up” of handwriting skills throughout schooling and possibly into adulthood, Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development. 32．What’s the possible result of younger students using laptops in class? A．Increased engagement. B．Enhanced learning. C．Declined memory. D．Weakened attention. 33．What does the underlined words “feed into” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．Enhance. B．Conclude. C．Switch. D．Influence. 34．Which of the following does Berninger agree to do? A．Replace handwriting with digital skills. B．Prioritize digital skills over handwriting. C．Balance handwriting with digital literacy. D．Teach handwriting only in early education. 35．What does the text mainly focus on? A．Handwriting vs. typing in education. B．The decline of handwriting in schools. C．The benefits of handwriting in learning. D．Technology’s impact on student engagement. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了随着学生和学者对新学年的准备，对电脑在记笔记和写论文方面的依赖越来越大，但一系列研究表明手写具有持久的好处，如增强记忆、有效记笔记等。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening.(鼓励甚至要求年轻学生带笔记本电脑上课，这引起了家长们的担忧，他们担心这会分散注意力，降低参与度。大学教授们抱怨说，课堂上的注意力下降了，学生们经常同时处理多项任务，而不是积极听讲。)”可知，年轻学生在课堂上使用笔记本电脑可能带来的结果是注意力减弱。故选D。 33．词句猜测题。根据下文“people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning.(人们可能会记住他们在法语课上写在某一页左下角的单词，这会增强学习效果。)”可知，用笔或铅笔把单词写在纸上会创造肌肉和感觉记忆，页面上单词的排列有助于增强视觉记忆，由此可知，“feed into”的意思是“增强”。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy…Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development.(华盛顿大学心理学教授弗吉尼亚•伯宁格博士长期以来一直倡导手写，同时承认手写与数字素养的结合……伯宁格认为，采用平衡的写作方法可以确保学生的学业和认知发展。)”可知，伯宁格同意平衡手写和数字素养。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。文章第一段提到学生和学者对电脑在记笔记和写论文方面的依赖越来越大，年轻学生在课堂上使用笔记本电脑可能带来注意力减弱的结果，第二段提到一系列研究表明手写具有持久的好处，如增强记忆，第三段提到手写另一个最明显的优势在于有效记笔记，第四段提到政策制定者也注意到了手写的好处，最后一段讲华盛顿大学的心理学教授弗吉尼亚•伯宁格博士长期倡导手写，同时承认手写与数字素养的结合，由此可知，本文主要关注的是手写对学习的好处。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you ready to unlock endless growth?

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a straight-A student in the high school, I believed I could take tough subjects and really learn something in the university. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Prondzinski, who was strict with his students as well as in his work. On the first day, Professor Prondzinski stood at the front of the classroom and introduced himself as the class sat silently. He then talked about the parts of the class that we would struggle with. That was definitely not how any other teacher started their introduction. With that being said, many students dropped the class because it seemed too difficult. That was exactly what Professor Prondzinski wanted, the best students in his class. I had never seen a teacher want his students to succeed in the way that he did. Professor Prondzinski had the ability to engage every single student and push them to their full potential. He always said in class, “you alone must set your own standard of excellence.” I didn’t know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. Then came the first test. I decided I’d have fun with it. The night before the test, I even treated myself to a movie. However, the next day, I was totally shocked when I found a 77, C-plus, on my test paper! English was my best subject and I had never failed in it. I went to Professor Prondzinski, who listened to my arguments but remained unmoved. There was one more test before I finally got my course grade. Because of this C- plus. I might as well kiss the scholarship goodbye. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I realized it was the last chance to improve my course grade. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I was surprised to find I got an A and I hurried into Professor Prondzinski’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 I realized it was the last chance to improve my course grade. Determination filled my heart as I committed to understanding the material thoroughly. I started to approach study sessions with a sense of curiosity, diving deep into the themes of World Literature. Instead of merely memorizing information, I engaged with the texts and participated actively in class discussions. This time, I treated every lecture as an opportunity to learn, taking detailed notes and asking questions when needed. Consequently, my confidence grew, and I felt better equipped for the upcoming test. The final exam loomed, and unlike before, I spent the night revising diligently and ensuring a good rest. The next day, I was surprised to find I got an A and I hurried into Professor Prondzinski’s office. A wave of relief and joy swept over me as Professor Prondzinski grinned knowingly. “I see you’ve set a new standard for yourself,” he commented, his eyes twinkling with approval. His teaching had taught me to appreciate the value of genuine learning and self-set excellence. My hard work paid off not only with a good grade but a renewed perspective on education. That lesson stayed with me beyond the classroom. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
