The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.” Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had. Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.” 51. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one? A. Those who join in structured activities. B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day. C. Those who don’t like school sports. D. Those who take part in game lessons. 52. What did the researcher focus on in their research? A. The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams. C. The performance at kindergarten. D. The time spent in classrooms. 53. In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______. A. understand each other better B. follow the rules C. respect the teachers D. give up 54. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us? A. How scientists carried out the research. B. Why parents were interviewed by phone. C. How kids behaved at home or at school. D. How many sports kids did at school. 55. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph? A. The research will be of great benefit. B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens. C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment. D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens. 【答案】51. D 52. A 53. B 54. A 55. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员认为体育活动和注意力技巧是密切相关的。参加体育活动的孩子比那些没有参加的孩子表现更好，更善于听从指示，在课堂上保持注意力集中。这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson.”（但是，定期组织学校体育活动有助于孩子们在未来几年的学业。研究人员称，其他“有组织”的活动，如音乐或宗教活动，对注意力的影响不如上）可知，那些经常参加游戏课的学生，在学术研究上可能做得更好。故选D项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up.”（琳达·帕加尼教授说:“我们利用家长和老师提供的信息，将幼儿的活动与他们成长过程中的课堂活动进行了比较。）可知，研究者们在研究中主要是针对成长过程中的课堂活动。故选A项。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There is something special to the sporting environment—perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal—that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”（体育环境中有一些特殊的东西——也许是属于一个具有共同目标的团队或特殊群体的感觉——这似乎有助于孩子们理解遵守规则和履行责任的重要性。）可知，在体育的环境中学生更有可能学会遵守规则。故选B项。 【54题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers began studying 2, 694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.”（研究人员开始研究2694名6岁左右的加拿大儿童，让老师填写关于他们在学校行为的问卷。与此同时，这些孩子的父母接受了电话或面对面的采访，了解他们的家庭生活。四年后，为了测试这种行为的影响，这个实验又重复了一次。）可知，这段主要讲了研究者们为了获得研究结果，是如何具体开展实施这项研究的。故选A项。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.””（帕加尼教授补充道：“这一结果对那些希望降低儿童肥胖率和低学业成绩的学校来说应该是令人鼓舞的。”）”可知，这项研究非常有益。故选A项。 C My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education. Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor. Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules. She never seemed to be tired of the simple pleasures of sharing her learning. Under her influence, I had the strong belief that language needs to be well-spoken and properly written. Yet over the years I never made the effort to find her and to express my thankfulness for what she did for me. Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation (基础) she provided in English grammar served me well. Sadly, I never looked back. In high school I took advanced French in a class taught by Richard Miller, the finest teacher I have ever experienced at any level. Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析). Reading “Phèdre”, Racine’s classic play, he asked us to note there were 1,654 lines in it, and then pointed out the care Racine devoted to structure. Years later I made the same point — giving Mr. Miller credit — in a college French class, and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the play. Mr. Miller taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view. Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me. Mr. Miller is certainly long dead. If she is alive, Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s. In preparing this article, I tried to find her but was unsuccessful. I am certain my act is common. People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers. I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were. 56. What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class? A. Grammar. B. Writing. C. Speaking. D. Reading. 57. What is special about Mr. Miller’s French class? A. He asked students to count lines. B. He stressed the importance of play. C. He analyzed literature in a new way. D. He showed great devotion to students. 58. What does the underlined phrase “my act” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Preparing the article. B. Looking for the teachers. C. Failing to thank teachers. D. Copying teachers’ points. 59. What best describes the two teachers according to the text? A. Creative. B. Frank. C. Humorous. D. Strict. 60. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To show love for French literature. B. To explore the meaning of education. C. To explain why teachers are important. D. To share memories of the two teachers. 【答案】56. A 57. C 58. C 59. A 60. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者学生时代的两位非常优秀教师对自己早期教育的影响，后悔自己没有及时告诉老师自己的感情，也呼吁大家要及时表达对老师的感情。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Two years after being in her class, I began the study of Latin and French, and the foundation she provided in English grammar served me well.”（在上她的课两年后，我开始学习拉丁语和法语，她提供的英语语法基础对我很有帮助）可知，在Hammerman的课堂上，对作者最有益的部分是语法。故选A项。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析).”（米勒先生给他的学科带来了令人惊讶的深刻理解和新的分析）可知，他以一种新的方式分析文学，这是米勒先生法语课的特别之处。故选C项。 【58题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers.”（人们经常忘记向老师表达爱意和感激之情）可知推断，“I am certain my act is common.”（我确信我的行为很普遍）此处my act指“没有去感谢老师”。故选C项。 59题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Unlike common teachers, she diagramed (用图表展示) sentences so we could know the grammar rules.”（与普通老师不同，她画了句子的图表，这样我们就可以知道语法规则了）以及根据第四段“Mr. Miller brought to his subject a surprisingly deep understanding and new analysis (分析).”（米勒先生给他的学科带来了令人惊讶的深刻理解和新的分析）可知，作者的两位老师的教学都有创新性，Creative创新的，符合题意。故选A项。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education.”（我一生中最大的遗憾是，我没有告诉我优秀的老师他们对我的早期教育做出了多大的贡献）以及最后一段“I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and Mr. Miller how much they did for me. I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.”（我应该告诉哈默曼小姐和米勒先生他们为我做了多少。我想他们知道自己的工作是有效的，因为他们坚信自己所做的。现在我明白他们有多特别了）可知，本文主要是作者对两位老师的回忆。故选D项。 第三部分：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读文章回答问题。 A couple of weeks ago, my grandfather explained his favorite expression, “Nothing is ever easy.” Then the following day, as I tried to complete my day’s work, I happened to notice a bumblebee(大黄蜂) on the skylight(天窗). The skylight was particularly high up, but I thought removing the bee would take no more than five minutes. An hour later, the bee still remained. All that had changed was that the living room was a mess and that I was dizzy from looking up into the sunlight. I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant. It is not only time that we tend to underestimate — we don’t account for unexpected costs. We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us. However, it is important to remember that your day or week or year might not go as planned, and that is completely normal. It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life. If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable. In middle school, I thought high school might be easier because I could choose the classes I wanted to take. In high school, I thought college might be easier because I could have a schedule best suited for myself. Yet each time, I was both wrong and disappointed. After accepting that school wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be easy, I found myself with a more positive attitude and improved results. Of course, there should be preparations made to account for expenses or time. Doing so can only help you accomplish your goals in a better way. However, there is no need to beat ourselves up(过分自责) when something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it. 61. What was out of the author’s expectation when he removed the bumblebee on the skylight?(no more than 15 words) 62. What does the underlined phrase “account for” in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 3 words) 63. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? (no more than 15 words) 64. According to the passage, how will you deal with what stands on your path? (no more than 15 words) 65. What do you understand the sentence—“Nothing is ever easy.”? (no more than 25 words) 【答案】61. The author spent more time but failed, only to leave a mess living room. Or: The author did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny. 62. Consider. / Calculate. / Estimate. / Think about. / Take… into consideration (account). 63. By accepting that nothing will ever be easy, life might seem slightly more manageable. 64. There is no need to beat ourselves up but give ourselves more time. 65. One possible version: Holding the belief that an unexpected task is part of our life, we shouldspare no effort to improve the situation with positive attitude. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了因为要驱离一只蜜蜂耗费作者一个小时，使得作者理解了祖父的话“没什么是容易的”的内涵。 【61题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny, but by doing so, I understood what my grandfather meant.（我没有想到要在这么小的一只昆虫上浪费一个小时，但这样一来，我明白了祖父的意思。）”可知，作者没有想到要在这么小的昆虫上浪费一个小时，故答案为The author spent more time but failed, only to leave a mess living room. Or: The author did not expect to waste an hour on an insect so tiny. 【62题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段“We often imagine what can work in our favor, but we seldom think of all the negative things that could affect us.（我们经常想象什么对我们有利，但我们很少想到所有可能影响我们的负面事情。）”可猜测，我们没有考虑意外的成本。account for指的是想到考虑，故答案为Consider. / Calculate. / Estimate. / Think about. / Take… into consideration (account). 【63题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“If you can accept that nothing will ever be easy, then life might seem slightly more manageable.（如果你能接受没有什么是容易的，那么生活可能看起来会稍微容易一些。）”可知，第三段主要讲的是我们要接受没什么是容易的事实，故答案为By accepting that nothing will ever be easy, life might seem slightly more manageable. 【64题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“However, there is no need to beat ourselves upwhen something stands in our path. Maybe we cannot see a bee coming our way, but we can always give ourselves the extra time to catch it.（然而，当某些东西挡在我们的道路上时，我们没有必要打击自己。也许我们看不到一只蜜蜂朝我们走来，但我们总可以给自己额外的时间去捕捉它。）”可知，当有阻碍时没有必要打败自己，给自己多一点时间，故答案为There is no need to beat ourselves up but give ourselves more time. 【65题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life.（感到有挑战是完全可以接受的——即使是一项你认为很简单的任务——因为这是生活的一部分。）”以及第三段“It is perfectly acceptable to feel challenged — even at a task you thought was simple — because that is part of life.（在认识到学校不会(也不应该)很容易之后，我发现自己有了更积极的态度，成绩也得到了提高。）”可知，没什么是容易的内涵是相信意想不到的任务是我们生活的一部分，我们应该不遗余力地以积极的态度改善情况，故答案为One possible version: Holding the belief that an unexpected task is part of our life, we should spare no effort to improve the situation with positive attitude. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天津市第十四中学高二年级2024-2025学年度第二学期开学考试 英语 第一部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分60分) 第一节：单项填空(共30小题;每小题1分，满分30分) 1. — Excuse me, sir.

B It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t. The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.” Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had. Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.” 51. What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one? A. Those who join in structured activities. B. Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day. C. Those who don’t like school sports. D. Those who take part in game lessons. 52. What did the researcher focus on in their research? A The classroom activities. B. The results of the exams.

Why parents were interviewed by phone. C. How kids behaved at home or at school. D. How many sports kids did at school. 55. What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph? A The research will be of great benefit. B. It’s necessary for children go to kindergartens. C. Childhood obesity rates can lead to low attainment. D. Team sports will be reduced at kindergartens. C My greatest regret in life is that I failed to tell my superb teachers how much they contributed to my early education. Ruth Hammerman taught English to the eighth-graders. She was the first to show me the rules of what Evelyn Waugh called our “rich and delicate language.” She was a no-nonsense instructor.
