D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了第43届高中写作大赛的参赛指南，包括每个类别的奖项、作品类别、规则、提交作品的要求等相关信息。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章标题“43rd Annual High School Writing Contest(第43届高中写作大赛)”以及文章中的关键词“Prizes in Each Category(各类别奖项)”“Categories(类别)”“Rules(规则)”等可知，文章主要介绍了第43届高中写作大赛的参赛指南，包括每个类别的奖项、作品类别、规则、提交作品的要求等相关信息。由此可知，文章主要是关于“大赛指南”。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rules部分中“3 Type at the top of the entry: Title of entry Student’s name, address and grade(9,10,11 or 12) Teacher’s name School name and address 4 Save your entry as a Microsoft Word file, doc or pdf(在条目顶部键入：条目标题 学生姓名、地址和年级（9、10、11或12） 教师姓名 学校名称和地址 4将您的条目另存为Microsoft Word文件、doc或pdf) ”可知，参赛作品必须遵循格式指南。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rules部分中“1 Each teacher may nominate (提名) up to five pieces of student work.(每位老师最多可以提名五篇学生作品)”可知，老师在这场比赛中的作用是提名学生作品。故选D。 B When a little boy burst into tears in his third-grade classroom last fall, his teacher Audrey Jost pulled him aside while the other kids were taking a rest. He said he was getting headaches and falling behind the other students, so Jost spoke with his parents about getting his eyes tested. “A few days later the boy returned with contact lenses, seeming like a different kid,” said Jost. “The change in him was amazing, academically and socially.” That’s why experts say late summer is a great moment to add an eye test to the back-to-school checklist. The American Optometric Association says 1 in 4 children may start school with some sort of vision problems, impairing their ability to learn, participate in sports and observe the world around them. But many kids won’t tell you something is wrong because they don’t know they have a problem. Many children with undiagnosed (未确诊的) vision issues could be perceived as copying a neighboring student’s work, but really they can’t see a science problem on the board. “Don’t initially just assume they’re cheating all the time,” said Annette Webb, an expert in Hot Springs, Arkansas. “If somebody is habitually looking at a neighbor’s paper, then I would definitely say that’s a red flag. ” Other things parents and teachers should look out for are squinting, requests to move around the classroom and headaches caused by eye strain. “Any complaints of any sort, saying they can’t see, rubbing their eyes a lot, having red eyes, and bumping into things, they should get checked, ” said Megan Collins, an expert at Johns Hopkins University. Collins emphasized that vision screenings (筛查), which are a must in most states, are an important first step to identifying kids with potential eye problems. As a public health researcher, she advocates strengthening in-school vision programs to help address inequalities in access to screenings and eye exams in underserved areas. 4. What does Audrey Jost’s story show? A Contact lenses are unsuitable for students. B. The eye test for kids is beneficial. C. A new school year brings many challenges. D. Students should work hard not to fall behind. 5. How does an undiagnosed vision issue affect children? A. They may find it difficult to learn science. B. They probably lose interest in sports. C. They could be misunderstood. D. They tend to cheat in exams. 6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Solutions to children’s complaints. B. Indications of a potential visual problem. C. Ways to get focused in classrooms for children. D. Strategies for protecting children. 7. What did Megan Collins say about vision screenings? A. Their standards should be recognised universally. B. Their cost should be covered by the states. C. They should be done more often in schools. D. They should be arranged as early as possible. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是视力检查对孩子学习和生活的重要性，以及未确诊视力问题可能带来的负面影响和识别方法。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“He said he was getting headaches and falling behind the other students, so Jost spoke with his parents about getting his eyes tested.(他说他一直头痛，并且落后于其他学生，于是乔斯特与他的父母谈了让他去检查视力的事情。)”以及第二段中的““A few days later the boy returned with contact lenses, seeming like a different kid,” said Jost.(“几天后，这个男孩戴上了隐形眼镜，看起来像变了一个人，”乔斯特说。)”可知，在Audrey Jost提醒家长带孩子检查一下视力后，孩子戴上了隐形眼镜像变了个人一样，由此可知，这件事说明了视力检查是有益的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Many children with undiagnosed (未确诊的) vision issues could be perceived as copying a neighboring student’s work, but really they can’t see a science problem on the board.(许多未确诊视力问题的孩子可能被认为是在抄袭邻座同学的作业，但实际上他们根本看不到黑板上的科学题目。)”可知，未确诊的视力问题可能导致孩子被误解为是在抄袭邻座同学的作业，由此可知，未确诊的视力问题可能导致孩子被误解或其他不当行为。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Other things parents and teachers should look out for are squinting, requests to move around the classroom and headaches caused by eye strain.(家长和老师还应注意其他迹象，例如眯眼、要求调换座位以及因用眼过度引起的头痛。)”以及下文引用专家Megan Collins所说的现象可知，本段建议家长和老师注意一下其它如眯眼、要求调座位等迹象，由此可知，本段主要介绍的是视力出现问题的迹象。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Collins emphasized that vision screenings (筛查), which are a must in most states, are an important first step to identifying kids with potential eye problems.(Collins强调，视力筛查在大多数州是必须的，这是发现潜在视力问题儿童的重要第一步。)”可知，Collins认为视力筛查是发现潜在视力问题儿童的重要第一步，由此可知，Collins主张加强学校的视力筛查项目。故选C项。 C One afternoon, a talking bird named Harpo arrived at a rescue center in MinnesotE Harpo, a very vocal Moluccan cockatoo, began to talk with the sanctuary’s director, Galiene Cimperman. After some time, Harpo suddenly said, “I hate this bird.” Harpo likely heard that phrase before, but what did he mean by it? According to Cimperman, Herpo was repeating the words, not using them as language. However, she believes the phrase reflected his past traumas (创伤) and that saying it was part of his healing process. Many parrots like Harpo live in rescue centers across the US. Although there is research on parrot memory and problem-solving, their emotions are mostly unexplored. This makes understanding the relationship between parrots and people challenging. Parrots’ intelligence, social nature, and physical needs often make it difficult for them to thrive in captivity. Yet, more than 50 million parrots live in homes and zoos worldwide. Many end up in rescue centers, where volunteers like Cimperman must learn about their past to help them find comfort. There is even less research on whether parrots can experience psychological trauma. However, they have the cognitive abilities necessary to experience long-term trauma. One of the few scientific papers on parrot trauma came from a collaboration between the rescue center and psychologist Gay Bradshaw. The paper describes how parrots at the sanctuary often meet the criteria for PTSD (创伤后应激障碍)。 Parrots in captivity often face distressing experiences from birth. They may be raised in isolation and receive little attention. Parrots are social animals, but as pets, they often have limited contact with humans or other birds. Even kind-hearted owners may struggle to care for them properly. Some parrots face abuse and cannot escape stressful situations At rescue centers, it is essential for parrots to feel in control of their lives. Volunteers help them build trust and allow them to make choices, similar to how they would in the wild. Healing from trauma may take months or even years. By the end of Harpo’s life in 2021, he had become a friendly and joyful bird, no longer saying “I hate this bird.” The possibility that parrots experience emotions similar to humans highlights the need to protect them in captivity and the wild. 8. What can be inferred about the life of parrots in captivity based on Harpo’s experience? A. They can learn to communicate effectively with humans B. They often experience significant emotional trauma. C. They do not have the ability to remember past experiences. D. They can easily adapt to their new environment. 9. What is a big challenge in understanding the relationship between parrots and people? A. The lack of research on parrots’ emotions. B. The lack of interest in studying parrots. C. Parrots’ inability to communicate with humans D. Parrots’ tendency to repeat un comprehended phrases without understanding them. 10. What is one of the strategies rescue centers use to help parrots heal from trauma? A. They provide them with a new owner. B. They give them control over their lives. C. They teach them new phrases to practice. D They allow them to interact with other animals. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The challenges of keeping parrots in captivity B. A closer look at parrot rescue centers in the US C. The life and times of Harpo: A case study on a talking bird D. Parrots are intelligent, but do we understand their emotions? 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是鹦鹉在笼养环境中可能经历的情感创伤，以及救援中心如何帮助它们恢复身心健康。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“According to Cimperman, Herpo was repeating the words, not using them as language. However, she believes the phrase reflected his past traumas (创伤) and that saying it was part of his healing process.(Harpo重复这些话，并不是将其作为语言使用。然而，Cimperman认为这句话反映了他过去的创伤，说这句话是他治愈过程的一部分。)”可知，Cimperman认为这句话反映了他过去的创伤，结合第四段中的“Parrots in captivity often face distressing experiences from birth. They may be raised in isolation and receive little attention.(笼养的鹦鹉从出生起就常常面临痛苦的经历。它们可能在孤立中长大，很少受到关注。)”可知，笼养鹦鹉可能会因过去的经历而遭受情感创伤。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although there is research on parrot memory and problem-solving, their emotions are mostly unexplored. This makes understanding the relationship between parrots and people challenging.(尽管有关于鹦鹉记忆和解决问题能力的研究，但它们的情感大多尚未被探索。这使得理解鹦鹉与人类之间的关系变得具有挑战性。)”可知，由于对鹦鹉情感大多尚未被探索导致理解鹦鹉与人类之间的关系变得具有挑战性。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“At rescue centers, it is essential for parrots to feel in control of their lives. Volunteers help them build trust and allow them to make choices, similar to how they would in the wild. (在救援中心，让鹦鹉感到自己能够掌控生活至关重要。志愿者帮助它们建立信任，并允许它们做出选择，就像它们在野外一样。)”可知，让鹦鹉感到自己能够掌控生活至关重要，由此可知，救援中心帮助鹦鹉从创伤中恢复的一种策略是让它们对自己的生活拥有控制权。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Although there is research on parrot memory and problem-solving, their emotions are mostly unexplored. This makes understanding the relationship between parrots and people challenging. Parrots’ intelligence, social nature, and physical needs often make it difficult for them to thrive in captivity.(尽管有关于鹦鹉记忆和解决问题能力的研究，但它们的情感大多尚未被探索。这使得理解鹦鹉与人类之间的关系变得具有挑战性。鹦鹉的智力、社交天性以及生理需求往往使它们难以在笼养环境中茁壮成长。)”以及尾段中的“The possibility that parrots experience emotions similar to humans highlights the need to protect them in captivity and the wild.(鹦鹉可能经历与人类相似的情感，这一可能性凸显了在笼养和野外保护它们的必要性。)”可知，文章不仅介绍了鹦鹉的智力（如记忆和解决问题的能力），还重点讨论了对鹦鹉情感的理解不足，以及这些情感如何影响它们与人类的关系，由此可知，题目“鹦鹉很聪明，但我们是否理解它们的情感？”能够准确反映文章的核心内容和主旨，适合用作标题。故选D项。 D Selection bias is a type of bias that results from improper selection of a group that does not closely represent the greater population to which the study aims to be applicable. It can also result from inadequate randomization into separate study groups. These errors ultimately lead to inaccurate results that do not accurately represent the population that they are intended to be applicable to. Selection bias can arise from improper evaluation of a population and the factors that might play into the studied measures. For a study to avoid having a significant degree of selection bias, it must account for and control factors that could potentially impinge on the results and lead to incorrect conclusions. For example, in a study evaluating the incidence of coronary artery disease in alcoholics versus nonalcoholies, other significant causes of coronary artery disease must be controlled in the selection of participants and in their randomization into groups. If one were to select and randomize participants without evaluating tobacco use, for example, one might be missing a significant confounding factor that would lead to a possibly significant conclusion being drawn between alcohol use and coronary artery disease when in fact there is none. A confounding factor is any factor that remains unmeasured and unaccounted in a study that affects outcomes in a significant way. Most, if not all, studies have some sort of confounding factor, but it is important to uncover and include the most significant to increase the validity of data Selection bias can therefore be present in many aspects of study design, from selecting participants to randomizing groups. Two important forms of selection bias include volunteer bias and nonresponse bias. Volunteer bias is a bias present in studies that rely on volunteer participation; it arises from differences between people willing to volunteer in a study and those unwilling. Nonresponse bias is a type of bias in which a survey or form is sent out to a population, and that population is not appropriately represented by the group who respondea. One can avoid selection bias by ensuring proper randomization in the creation of study groups, thoroughly considering and excluding any potential underlying confounders that might go unnoticed and affect data. One can also ensure that the surveyed or measured group is representative of the population that the study is aimed to impact. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving examples B. By offering a definition. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing a situation. 13. What does the underlined phrase“ impinge on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Hide. B. Strengthen. C. Uncover. D. Influence. 14. What can we know about nonresponse bias? A. It occurs more often than volunteer bias. B. It focuses on unmeasured factors. C. It arises from choosing inappropriate participants. D. It’s related to the willingness of the participants. 15. What does the author advise researchers to do in the last paragraph? A. Analyse more data. B. Involve a larger population. C. Record unnoticed information. D. Randomize participants properly. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕选择偏差展开，介绍其定义、产生原因、类型，以及避免选择偏差的方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“Selection bias is a type of bias that results from improper selection of a group that does not closely represent the greater population to which the study aims to be applicable.(选择偏差是一种偏差，它是由于对一个群体的不当选择而产生的，这个群体不能很好地代表该研究所针对的更广泛的人群。)”可知，作者开篇就对selection bias(选择偏差)进行了定义，所以作者是通过给出定义来引入话题的。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句“For a study to avoid having a significant degree of selection bias, it must account for and control factors that could potentially impinge on the results and lead to incorrect conclusions.(为了使一项研究避免出现很大程度的选择偏差，它必须考虑并控制那些可能会impinge on结果并导致错误结论的因素。)”中的“the results and lead to incorrect conclusions”可知，这里说的是要控制那些可能会对结果产生影响从而导致错误结论的因素，所以impinge on意思应该是“影响”。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Nonresponse bias is a type of bias in which a survey or form is sent out to a population, and that population is not appropriately represented by the group who responded.(无应答偏差是一种偏差，在这种偏差中，向一个群体发出调查或表格，而做出回应的群体并不能恰当地代表这个群体。)”可知，无应答偏差是由于调查中回应的群体不能恰当代表总体，这意味着在选择参与调查的群体时存在问题，即选择了不恰当的参与者。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“One can avoid selection bias by ensuring proper randomization in the creation of study groups, thoroughly considering and excluding any potential underlying confounders that might go unnoticed and affect data.(人们可以通过在创建研究小组时确保适当的随机化，彻底考虑并排除任何可能被忽视并影响数据的潜在混淆因素来避免选择偏差。)”可知，作者建议研究人员在创建研究小组时要适当随机化参与者。故选D。 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。 Life is full of comparisons. ____16____ But often, these comparisons become harmful to the point where your thoughts aren’t your own anymore, and one day, you realize you’re not living your own life because you’re trying to live someone else’s.

And that’s a lot of pressure. ____18____ Don’t stress out; you don’t need one more thing to feel bad about! It takes E Leos of confidence and emotional strength to learn how to stop comparing yourself. Instead, here are tips to stop bad comparisons and refocus your energy on positive things.

Sixty years ago, you might have added television and movie stars to that list. G. Comparing is human nature, and sometimes is good, inspiring us to be better. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述过度比较有害，需减少社交媒体影响并专注自我。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Life is full of comparisons (生活充满了比较)”以及下文“But often, these comparisons become harmful to the point where your thoughts aren’t your own anymore (但通常，这些比较变得有害，以至于你的想法不再是你自己的)”可知，此处需承上启下，与下文形成对比转折，选项G“Comparing is human nature, and sometimes is good, inspiring us to be better. (比较是人类的天性，有时是好的，激励我们变得更好)” 符合上下文逻辑，引出主题。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One hundred years ago, if you wanted to compare yourself to another person, you looked to your peers or those around you. (一百年前，如果你想把自己和另一个人比较，你会看看你的同龄人或你周围的人)”，以及下文“But about twenty years ago, with the explosion of social media, you have the opportunity to compare yourself to nearly every person on the planet. (但大约20年前，随着社交媒体的爆炸式增长，你有机会将自己与地球上几乎每一个人进行比较)”可知，第二段前两句提到“100年前，人们只和身边人比较”，后文转折“20年前社交媒体兴起后，比较对象扩大到全球”。可知，此处需填补时间线空缺，衔接上下文。选项F“Sixty years ago, you might have added television and movie stars to that list. (60年前，你可能会把电视和电影明星也列入其中)”符合逻辑。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Don’t stress out; you don’t need one more thing to feel bad about! (不要压力过大；你不需要再为一件事感到难过了！)”可知，下文是针对“因比较习惯而自责”的建议。由此推断此处要以问句形式引出下文解决方案，选项A“Feeling bad about your comparison habit? (为自己的攀比习惯感到难过？)”符合逻辑。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Get rid of harmful relationships. Just like your loved ones can be a powerful fore helping you feel good about yourself, some harmful relationships can take a real toll on sour self-esteem. (摆脱有害的关系。就像你爱的人可以成为帮助你自我感觉良好的强大力量一样，一些有害的关系也会对糟糕的自尊造成真正的伤害)”可知，第四段主题是“摆脱有害关系”，有害关系会打击自尊。因此此处要给出具体的建议，选项E“Avoid people who are constantly comparing themselves to you or others. (避免那些总是拿自己和你或别人比较的人)”，给出的建议与“harmful relationships(糟糕的关系)”直接相关，符合逻辑。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Organize your social media feed. Online comparisons are the most dangerous because it’s so easy to compare yourself to so many people. (整理你的社交媒体动态。网上比较是最危险的，因为你很容易把自己和很多人比较)”可知，第五段讨论“社交媒体比较的危险性”，而下文“Go through your feed and unfollow or unfriend any accounts that don’t uplift you. (浏览你的信息流，取消关注那些不能提升你的账号，不添加他们为好友)”，即建议“清理关注列表”。由此推断此处要解释选择关注对象的重要性，然后因此下文的建议。选项D“This is why it’s important to choose who you follow and listen to online. (这就是为什么选择你在网上关注和收听的人很重要)”符合逻辑。故选D。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One morning of last mid-May, Dan, my husband, hung an old pair of olive green work pants outside on the light pole.

Without rangers, many species would likely be extinct, and the ecosystems would be in a more degraded state. Rangers are, in many cases, putting their lives ____38____ risk, so that the people can enjoy fresh air, fresh water and a healthy planet. Globally, there are about 286,000 rangers according to the International Ranger Federation. Since the last World Ranger Day, at least 140 rangers ____39____ (lose)their lives in the line of duty, with 53 percent of these fatalities occurring in Asia and 30 percent in Africa. While this figure is slightly lower than the 148 ranger deaths reported in 2023, it remains high, ____40____ (bring) the total to 1,319 ranger deaths over the past decade.

One day, while digging through the attic, he found something that caught his eye. It was a guitar, which was old, with signs of wear. However, it seemed to tell a story. Tom rushed downstairs with the guitar in hand. “Dad, look what I’ve found!” he exclaimed, showing the guitar to his father. Dad’s eyes widened, and a smile slowly spread across his face. “ Ah, my old guitar,” he said, taking it gently from Tom. “You played the guitar?” Tom asked, surprised. Dad chuckled, “Yes, a long time ago. I was in a band with some of my best friends when I was about your age.” Tom’s eyes lit up with excitement. “You were in a band? That’s so cool! Tell me more!” Dad settled into a chair, the old guitar resting on his lap. “We called ourselves ‘The Sunset Strummers’. We played at small events, parties, and even some local cafes. Those were some of the best days of my life. Music, friendship, and endless fun.” Days went by, and Tom couldn’t stop thinking about his dad’s musical past. He spoke to his mother and learned more. Old photos were brought out, showing a young dad with long hair, rocking out with his band. Tom felt proud and interested. He wanted to do something special for his dad to let him relive those days, even if just for a moment. With the help of his mom and younger sister, Lucy, Tom came up with a plan. They would organize a surprise concert in their backyard and invite some of Dad’s old band members and friends. Lucy was good with tech, so she took charge of sending out digital invites and setting up the stage. Tom practiced on the old guitar, hoping to play alongside his dad. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The day of the surprise concert arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening grew dark and the music came to an end, Dad hugged Tom tightly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day of the surprise concert arrived. Friends and family members gathered in the backyard, holding their breath in anticipation. Tom led his dad outside, blindfolded. When the blindfold was removed, Dad’s face lit up. The old band members were there, instruments in hand. Tom handed the guitar to his dad. Without hesitation, Dad took the guitar, and the band started playing. The music was filled with nostalgia and love. Tom joined in with a song he had learned, and together, father and son played in harmony. The crowd cheered, danced, and sang along. As the evening grew dark and the music came to an end, Dad hugged Tom tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, tears in his eyes. “This was the best gift ever.” Lucy captured the moments with her camera, ensuring the memories would last forever. The old guitar had not only revealed a piece of Dad’s past but also created a new and beautiful memory for everyone present. And in a simple backyard, with string lights and heartwarming tunes, the family and friends came together, celebrating love, memories and the timeless magic of music. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tom发现父亲的旧吉他后，通过组织一场惊喜音乐会帮助父亲重温青春时光的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“惊喜音乐会的日子到了”可知，第一段可描写开音乐会的场景，包括父亲的反应以及乐队的重聚。 ②由第二段首句内容“夜幕降临，音乐结束了，爸爸紧紧地拥抱着汤姆。”可知，第二段可描写父子子情感互动，体现父亲的感动和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：汤姆把蒙着眼睛的爸爸领了出去——乐队的老成员都在——父子合奏——父亲感动比赛——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①递给：hand /pass ②加入：join in/take part in ③捕捉：capture /catch ④揭露：reveal/uncover 情绪类 ①紧紧地：tightly / firmly ②感人的：heartwarming/ affecting 【点睛】[高分句型1]When the blindfold was removed, Dad’s face lit up.

B When a little boy burst into tears in his third-grade classroom last fall, his teacher Audrey Jost pulled him aside while the other kids were taking a rest. He said he was getting headaches and falling behind the other students, so Jost spoke with his parents about getting his eyes tested. “A few days later the boy returned with contact lenses, seeming like a different kid,” said Jost. “The change in him was amazing, academically and socially.” That’s why experts say late summer is a great moment to add an eye test to the back-to-school checklist. The American Optometric Association says 1 in 4 children may start school with some sort of vision problems, impairing their ability to learn, participate in sports and observe the world around them. But many kids won’t tell you something is wrong because they don’t know they have a problem. Many children with undiagnosed (未确诊的) vision issues could be perceived as copying a neighboring student’s work, but really they can’t see a science problem on the board. “Don’t initially just assume they’re cheating all the time,” said Annette Webb, an expert in Hot Springs, Arkansas. “If somebody is habitually looking at a neighbor’s paper, then I would definitely say that’s a red flag. ” Other things parents and teachers should look out for are squinting, requests to move around the classroom and headaches caused by eye strain. “Any complaints of any sort, saying they can’t see, rubbing their eyes a lot, having red eyes, and bumping into things, they should get checked, ” said Megan Collins, an expert at Johns Hopkins University. Collins emphasized that vision screenings (筛查), which are a must in most states, are an important first step to identifying kids with potential eye problems. As a public health researcher, she advocates strengthening in-school vision programs to help address inequalities in access to screenings and eye exams in underserved areas. 4. What does Audrey Jost’s story show? A. Contact lenses are unsuitable for students. B. The eye test for kids is beneficial. C. A new school year brings many challenges. D. Students should work hard not to fall behind. 5. How does an undiagnosed vision issue affect children? A. They may find it difficult to learn science. B They probably lose interest in sports. C. They could be misunderstood. D. They tend to cheat in exams. 6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Solutions to children’s complaints. B. Indications of a potential visual problem. C. Ways to get focused in classrooms for children. D. Strategies for protecting children. 7. What did Megan Collins say about vision screenings? A. Their standards should be recognised universally. B. Their cost should be covered by the states. C. They should be done more often in schools. D. They should be arranged as early as possible. C One afternoon, a talking bird named Harpo arrived at a rescue center in MinnesotE Harpo, a very vocal Moluccan cockatoo, began to talk with the sanctuary’s director, Galiene Cimperman. After some time, Harpo suddenly said, “I hate this bird.” Harpo likely heard that phrase before, but what did he mean by it? According to Cimperman, Herpo was repeating the words, not using them as language. However, she believes the phrase reflected his past traumas (创伤) and that saying it was part of his healing process. Many parrots like Harpo live in rescue centers across the US. Although there is research on parrot memory and problem-solving, their emotions are mostly unexplored. This makes understanding the relationship between parrots and people challenging. Parrots’ intelligence, social nature, and physical needs often make it difficult for them to thrive in captivity. Yet, more than 50 million parrots live in homes and zoos worldwide. Many end up in rescue centers, where volunteers like Cimperman must learn about their past to help them find comfort. There is even less research on whether parrots can experience psychological trauma. However, they have the cognitive abilities necessary to experience long-term trauma. One of the few scientific papers on parrot trauma came from a collaboration between the rescue center and psychologist Gay Bradshaw. The paper describes how parrots at the sanctuary often meet the criteria for PTSD (创伤后应激障碍)。 Parrots in captivity often face distressing experiences from birth. They may be raised in isolation and receive little attention. Parrots are social animals, but as pets, they often have limited contact with humans or other birds. Even kind-hearted owners may struggle to care for them properly. Some parrots face abuse and cannot escape stressful situations At rescue centers, it is essential for parrots to feel in control of their lives. Volunteers help them build trust and allow them to make choices, similar to how they would in the wild. Healing from trauma may take months or even years. By the end of Harpo’s life in 2021, he had become a friendly and joyful bird, no longer saying “I hate this bird.” The possibility that parrots experience emotions similar to humans highlights the need to protect them in captivity and the wild. 8. What can be inferred about the life of parrots in captivity based on Harpo’s experience? A. They can learn to communicate effectively with humans B. They often experience significant emotional trauma. C. They do not have the ability to remember past experiences. D. They can easily adapt to their new environment. 9. What is a big challenge in understanding the relationship between parrots and people? A. The lack of research on parrots’ emotions. B. The lack of interest in studying parrots. C. Parrots’ inability to communicate with humans D. Parrots’ tendency to repeat un comprehended phrases without understanding them. 10. What is one of the strategies rescue centers use to help parrots heal from trauma? A. They provide them with a new owner. B. They give them control over their lives. C. They teach them new phrases to practice. D. They allow them to interact with other animals. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The challenges of keeping parrots in captivity B. A closer look at parrot rescue centers in the US C. The life and times of Harpo: A case study on a talking bird D. Parrots are intelligent, but do we understand their emotions? D Selection bias is a type of bias that results from improper selection of a group that does not closely represent the greater population to which the study aims to be applicable. It can also result from inadequate randomization into separate study groups. These errors ultimately lead to inaccurate results that do not accurately represent the population that they are intended to be applicable to. Selection bias can arise from improper evaluation of a population and the factors that might play into the studied measures. For a study to avoid having a significant degree of selection bias, it must account for and control factors that could potentially impinge on the results and lead to incorrect conclusions. For example, in a study evaluating the incidence of coronary artery disease in alcoholics versus nonalcoholies, other significant causes of coronary artery disease must be controlled in the selection of participants and in their randomization into groups. If one were to select and randomize participants without evaluating tobacco use, for example, one might be missing a significant confounding factor that would lead to a possibly significant conclusion being drawn between alcohol use and coronary artery disease when in fact there is none. A confounding factor is any factor that remains unmeasured and unaccounted in a study that affects outcomes in a significant way. Most, if not all, studies have some sort of confounding factor, but it is important to uncover and include the most significant to increase the validity of data Selection bias can therefore be present in many aspects of study design, from selecting participants to randomizing groups. Two important forms of selection bias include volunteer bias and nonresponse bias. Volunteer bias is a bias present in studies that rely on volunteer participation; it arises from differences between people willing to volunteer in a study and those unwilling. Nonresponse bias is a type of bias in which a survey or form is sent out to a population, and that population is not appropriately represented by the group who respondea. One can avoid selection bias by ensuring proper randomization in the creation of study groups, thoroughly considering and excluding any potential underlying confounders that might go unnoticed and affect data. One can also ensure that the surveyed or measured group is representative of the population that the study is aimed to impact. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By giving examples B.

One day while digging through the attic, he found something that caught his eye. It was a guitar, which was old, with signs of wear. However, it seemed to tell a story. Tom rushed downstairs with the guitar in hand. “Dad, look what I’ve found!” he exclaimed, showing the guitar to his father. Dad’s eyes widened, and a smile slowly spread across his face. “ Ah, my old guitar,” he said, taking it gently from Tom. “You played the guitar?” Tom asked, surprised. Dad chuckled, “Yes, a long time ago. I was in a band with some of my best friends when I was about your age.” Tom’s eyes lit up with excitement. “You were in a band? That’s so cool! Tell me more!” Dad settled into a chair, the old guitar resting on his lap. “We called ourselves ‘The Sunset Strummers’. We played at small events, parties, and even some local cafes. Those were some of the best days of my life. Music, friendship, and endless fun.” Days went by, and Tom couldn’t stop thinking about his dad’s musical past. He spoke to his mother and learned more. Old photos were brought out, showing a young dad with long hair, rocking out with his band. Tom felt proud and interested. He wanted to do something special for his dad to let him relive those days, even if just for a moment. With the help of his mom and younger sister, Lucy, Tom came up with a plan. They would organize a surprise concert in their backyard and invite some of Dad’s old band members and friends. Lucy was good with tech, so she took charge of sending out digital invites and setting up the stage. Tom practiced on the old guitar, hoping to play alongside his dad. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The day of the surprise concert arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the evening grew dark and the music came to an end, Dad hugged Tom tightly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
