Students can choose clubs that focus on an area of interest. Mathcounts Club Mathcounts ties to increase excitement towards mathematic achievement. It hopes to provide students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathernatics careers. Schools select individuals and teams to participate in competitions. Local competitions are held in February with winners progressing to state competitions and then on to the national level. Mathcounts works to challenge student math skills, develop self-confidence and give rewards for their achievements. Envirothon The Envirothon program focuses on natural resources knowledge and exposes students to diverse environmental issues, ecosystems, and topography. The ecology field competition for five-member middle school teams offers competitions in wildlife, soils, forestry, current environmental issues and aquatics.

Future Problem Solvers Future Problem Solvers is an academic club that uses a six-step process to solve problems that may happen in the future. Students who are in the talented and gifted program, who like to “think out of the box,” or who enjoy thinking about futuristic problems may like this club. Teams comprised of four students read future scenes and write up solutions in a booklet using the six-step process. Teams that score high enough can go to the state competition and then to the international competition. Builders Club Builders Club is open to any middle school student who wishes to perform community service. Each Builders Club is co-sponsored by a Kiwanis club and the middle school.

B Life is often compared to a journey, filled with twists and turns, highs and lows. This metaphor, while clichéd (老生常谈), holds a profound truth: the path we take is rarely straight, and the lessons we learn along the way shape who we become. I was reminded of this during a recent trip to the mountains, where the physical challenges of the hike mirrored the emotional and intellectual struggles I had been facing. The trail was steep and tough, with sections that seemed almost insurmountable (不可逾越的). As I climbed, my legs burned, and my breath grew short. There were moments when I wanted to turn back, to retreat to the comfort of the familiar. But something inside me urged me to press on, to see what lay beyond the next bend. It was in these moments of doubt and exhaustion that I began to reflect on the nature of perseverance. Perseverance, I realized, is not just about pushing through physical pain or mental exhaust. It is about maintaining a sense of purpose, even when the destination is unclear. It is about trusting that the effort we put in will eventually yield results, even if those results are not immediately visible. This lesson was not new to me, but experiencing it in such a real way brought it into sharper focus. As I continued my climbing, I noticed how the landscape changed with each step. The dense forest gave way to open meadows, and the air grew cooler. The higher I climbed, the more expansive the view became. It was a powerful reminder that perspective is everything. What seems like an insurmountable obstacle from one point can appear entirely different from another. This shift in perspective can be transformative, allowing us to see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth. By the time I reached the summit, I was exhausted but excited. The view from the top was breathtaking, a reward for the effort it had taken to get there. But more than the view, it was the journey itself that left a lasting impression. The climb had taught me valuable lessons about resilience (适应力), perspective, and the importance of staying the course, even when the path is difficult. Life, like the mountain trail, is full of challenges that test our limits and push us to grow. It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience. And while the journey may be difficult, the lessons we learn and the perspectives we gain make it all worthwhile. 41. What is the main theme of the passage? A. The physical challenges of hiking. B. The importance of perseverance and perspective in life. C. The beauty of mountain landscapes. D. The rewards of reaching the summit. 42. What does the narrator realize about perseverance during the hike? A. It is only about physical endurance. B. It requires avoiding all obstacles. C. It is unnecessary when the destination is clear. D. It involves maintaining a sense of purpose and trusting the process. 43. How does the narrator’s perspective change during the climb? A. He sees challenges as opportunities for growth. B. He realizes the journey is not worth the effort. C. He becomes more focused on the destination. D. He decides to turn back and give up. 44. What does the narrator find most rewarding about reaching the summit? A. The physical view from the top. B. The lessons learned during the journey. C. The opportunity to rest and relax. D. The chance to take photographs. 45. What does the passage suggest about life’s challenges? A. They should be avoided at all costs. B. They are best faced with the help of others. C. They are opportunities for growth and self-discovery. D. They are easier to overcome with a clear destination. C Trying to change existing habits or introduce new ones is difficult. The neuronal (神经元的) connections in our brains are strongest for those behaviors we already practice, and weak for those we don’t. Luckily, there’s a way to use our natural inclination (倾向) toward routine to build and maintain a new habit. It’s called habit stacking (叠加), and involves “stacking” the new behavior you’re trying to adopt onto a current behavior. Let’s say your goal is to drink more water throughout the day, so you decide to start drinking a glass of water every morning. Don’t just assume you’ll start doing it — it probably won’t last long. Instead, pair that new habit with a small everyday habit or routine you already do. You can drink a glass every morning after brushing your teeth. You stack them together and create a small, but growing chain. Every morning, those two actions should be associated with each other. The more regularly you do it, the more automatic it will become. This concept was popularized by S. J. Scott, who wrote Habit Stacking: 127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Since then, it’s blown up, with other psychologists adding their own endorsement for the practice. “Habit stacking is a really effective strategy for building new habits because it builds on the existing neural (神经的) networks in our brains, ” explains Melissa Ming Foynes, a licensed psychologist. “When you add a new habit before or after the existing habit, you’re taking advantage of a structure and cycle that already exists in your brain, rather than strengthening an entirely new neural network.” Foynes also notes that this strategy works beyond the neurophysiological level. “The existing habit serves as a helpful signal to engage in the new habit you’re trying to develop, ” she says. In the midst of a busy lifestyle, habit sacking can be helpful because the new habits often feel less like an “add-on” when tied to something you already do anyway. This approach can feel more integrated, and therefore, less stressful. 46. Which of the following best describes habit stacking? A. It involves stacking old habits. B. It glues a new habit to an old one. C. It damages old neuronal connections. D. It disturbs the brain’s natural inclination. 47. How does the author explain habit stacking? A. By quoting a definition from a book. B. By making comparisons. C. By describing a process. D. By giving an example. 48. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Support B. Service. C. Features. D. Requirements. 49. Why is habit stacking effective in building new habits? A. It strengthens new neural networks. B. It makes use of existing brain patterns. C. It emphasizes repeating cycles. D. It integrates various helpful signals. 50. What does the author talk about in the last paragraph? A. How to stack your habits. B. Who are more likely to stack habits. C. The benefits of habit stacking in modern days. D. Common challenges people face when trying to stack habits. D Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately applied in schools rather than being banned. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with assignments and tests. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng. According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warned about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI. Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to address AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias. 51. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 52. What is the primary concern raised by the survey conducted by Study? A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools. B. Dishonest behavior in the students’ homework. C. The students’ reliance on AI tools to learn. D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers. 53. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools? A. Prohibiting them due to academic issues. B. Protecting them from the potential harm. C. Applying them in a proper and efficient way. D. Using them without restrictions. 54. The underlined word “address” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______. A. Tackle B. React C. Wipe D. Mount 55. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The unique approach of China in regulating AI. B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education. C. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services. D. The international cooperation in addressing AI-related issues. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共25分) 第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读表达 Kevin Beard is my class instructor. I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an interview opportunity for a stable job: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 56. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What do the underlined words“came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. What are Kevin’s future plans after achieving his GED? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60. What can we learn from Kevin’s story?

She is terribly shy at public speaking. A. Settled B. With pleasure C. Anything but that D. That depends 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——你觉得让奥利弗在会上发言怎么样？ ——千万不要让她发言。她在当众演讲时非常害羞。A. Settled谈妥了；B. With pleasure乐意效劳；C. Anything but that不可能；绝不是那样的；D. That depends视情况而定。因为奥利弗在当众演讲时非常害羞，所以第二个 人强烈反对让她演讲的提议。故选C项。 2. The number of people who ________ access to high-speed Internet in this area ________ increasing rapidly. A. has; is B. have; is C. has; are D. have; are 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主谓一致。句意：这个地区能够接入高速互联网的人数正在迅速增加。分析第一空格处“who ________ access to high-speed Internet in this area”这部分是一个由who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词people。“have access to”是固定短语，意为“有使用……的机会、权利；可以获得”，在定语从句中，关系代词who指代先行词people，所以从句的谓语动词应该用复数形式have。第二空格处，“the number of + 复数名词” 表示 “…… 的数量”，作主语时，谓语动词要用第三人称单数形式，所以这里应该用is，“is increasing”是现在进行时结构，表示“正在增长”。故选B。 3. It often happens that a number of applicants with almost qualifications and experience all apply for the same position.

A. in spite of B. in ways of C. in favor of D. in terms of 【答案】D 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：许多科学家和工程师根据他们的成就有多大而被评价。A. in spite of虽然，尽管；B. in ways of用……的方式；C.in favor of有利于，支持；D. in terms of从……的角度，依据，按照。由语意可知，成就的大小是评价这些科学家和工程师的依据，介词短语作状语。故选D项。 【点睛】 6.

This metaphor, while clichéd (老生常谈), holds a profound truth: the path we take is rarely straight, and the lessons we learn along the way shape who we become. I was reminded of this during a recent trip to the mountains, where the physical challenges of the hike mirrored the emotional and intellectual struggles I had been facing. The trail was steep and tough, with sections that seemed almost insurmountable (不可逾越的). As I climbed, my legs burned, and my breath grew short. There were moments when I wanted to turn back, to retreat to the comfort of the familiar. But something inside me urged me to press on, to see what lay beyond the next bend. It was in these moments of doubt and exhaustion that I began to reflect on the nature of perseverance. Perseverance, I realized, is not just about pushing through physical pain or mental exhaust. It is about maintaining a sense of purpose, even when the destination is unclear. It is about trusting that the effort we put in will eventually yield results, even if those results are not immediately visible. This lesson was not new to me, but experiencing it in such a real way brought it into sharper focus. As I continued my climbing, I noticed how the landscape changed with each step. The dense forest gave way to open meadows, and the air grew cooler. The higher I climbed, the more expansive the view became. It was a powerful reminder that perspective is everything. What seems like an insurmountable obstacle from one point can appear entirely different from another. This shift in perspective can be transformative, allowing us to see challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for growth. By the time I reached the summit, I was exhausted but excited. The view from the top was breathtaking, a reward for the effort it had taken to get there. But more than the view, it was the journey itself that left a lasting impression. The climb had taught me valuable lessons about resilience (适应力), perspective, and the importance of staying the course, even when the path is difficult. Life, like the mountain trail, is full of challenges that test our limits and push us to grow. It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience. And while the journey may be difficult, the lessons we learn and the perspectives we gain make it all worthwhile. 41. What is the main theme of the passage? A. The physical challenges of hiking. B. The importance of perseverance and perspective in life. C. The beauty of mountain landscapes. D. The rewards of reaching the summit. 42. What does the narrator realize about perseverance during the hike? A. It is only about physical endurance. B. It requires avoiding all obstacles. C. It is unnecessary when the destination is clear. D. It involves maintaining a sense of purpose and trusting the process. 43. How does the narrator’s perspective change during the climb? A. He sees challenges as opportunities for growth. B. He realizes the journey is not worth the effort. C. He becomes more focused on the destination. D. He decides to turn back and give up. 44. What does the narrator find most rewarding about reaching the summit? A. The physical view from the top. B. The lessons learned during the journey. C. The opportunity to rest and relax. D. The chance to take photographs. 45. What does the passage suggest about life’s challenges? A. They should be avoided at all costs. B. They are best faced with the help of others. C. They are opportunities for growth and self-discovery. D. They are easier to overcome with a clear destination. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过一次爬山经历，领悟到生活中坚持和转变视角的重要性，以及挑战对于成长和自我发现的价值。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Life is often compared to a journey, filled with twists and turns, highs and lows.(人生常常被比作一场旅程，充满了曲折、起伏。)”和最后一段“Life, like the mountain trail, is full of challenges that test our limits and push us to grow. It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience.(生活就像山路一样，充满了挑战，考验着我们的极限，推动着我们成长。正是通过这些挑战，我们发现了自己的力量和韧性。)”可知，文章把生活比作旅程，讲述了坚持和转变视角在生活中的重要性。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Perseverance, I realized, is not just about pushing through physical pain or mental exhaust. It is about maintaining a sense of purpose, even when the destination is unclear.

The climb had taught me valuable lessons about resilience (适应力), perspective, and the importance of staying the course, even when the path is difficult.(但比景色更重要的是，旅程本身留下了深刻的印象。这次攀登给我上了关于韧性、视角以及即使在困难时期也要坚持下去的宝贵一课。)”可知，叙述者认为登顶最有价值的是旅途中学到的教训。故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It is through these challenges that we discover our strength and resilience.(正是通过这些挑战，我们发现了自己的力量和韧性。)”可知，文章认为生活中的挑战是成长和自我发现的机会。故选C。 C Trying to change existing habits or introduce new ones is difficult. The neuronal (神经元的) connections in our brains are strongest for those behaviors we already practice, and weak for those we don’t. Luckily, there’s a way to use our natural inclination (倾向) toward routine to build and maintain a new habit. It’s called habit stacking (叠加), and involves “stacking” the new behavior you’re trying to adopt onto a current behavior. Let’s say your goal is to drink more water throughout the day, so you decide to start drinking a glass of water every morning. Don’t just assume you’ll start doing it — it probably won’t last long. Instead, pair that new habit with a small everyday habit or routine you already do. You can drink a glass every morning after brushing your teeth. You stack them together and create a small, but growing chain. Every morning, those two actions should be associated with each other. The more regularly you do it, the more automatic it will become. This concept was popularized by S. J. Scott, who wrote Habit Stacking: 127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Since then, it’s blown up, with other psychologists adding their own endorsement for the practice. “Habit stacking is a really effective strategy for building new habits because it builds on the existing neural (神经的) networks in our brains, ” explains Melissa Ming Foynes, a licensed psychologist. “When you add a new habit before or after the existing habit, you’re taking advantage of a structure and cycle that already exists in your brain, rather than strengthening an entirely new neural network.” Foynes also notes that this strategy works beyond the neurophysiological level. “The existing habit serves as a helpful signal to engage in the new habit you’re trying to develop, ” she says. In the midst of a busy lifestyle, habit sacking can be helpful because the new habits often feel less like an “add-on” when tied to something you already do anyway. This approach can feel more integrated, and therefore, less stressful. 46. Which of the following best describes habit stacking? A. It involves stacking old habits. B. It glues a new habit to an old one. C. It damages old neuronal connections. D. It disturbs the brain’s natural inclination. 47. How does the author explain habit stacking? A By quoting a definition from a book. B. By making comparisons. C. By describing a process. D. By giving an example. 48. What does the underlined word “endorsement” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Support B. Service. C. Features. D. Requirements. 49. Why is habit stacking effective in building new habits? A. It strengthens new neural networks. B. It makes use of existing brain patterns. C. It emphasizes repeating cycles. D. It integrates various helpful signals. 50. What does the author talk about in the last paragraph? A. How to stack your habits. B. Who are more likely to stack habits. C. The benefits of habit stacking in modern days. D. Common challenges people face when trying to stack habits. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. A 49. B 50.

It’s called habit stacking (叠加), and involves “stacking” the new behavior you’re trying to adopt onto a current behavior.(幸运的是，有一种方法可以利用我们天生的倾向来建立和保持新的习惯。这种方法叫做习惯叠加，它涉及将你正在尝试采用的新行为“叠加”到当前的行为上)”可知，行为叠加是将一种新习惯叠加在旧习惯上。故选B。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Let’s say your goal is to drink more water throughout the day, so you decide to start drinking a glass of water every morning. Don’t just assume you’ll start doing it— it probably won’t last long. Instead, pair that new habit with a small everyday habit or routine you already do. You can drink a glass every morning after brushing your teeth. (假设您的目标是全天喝更多的水，因此你决定每天早晨开始喝一杯水。不要只是假设你会开始这样做——它可能不会持续很长时间。取而代之的是，将新习惯与您已经做过的日常习惯或常规相结合。刷牙后，您可以每天早晨喝一杯)”可推知，作者通过举例子来解释行为叠加。故选D。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Since then, it’s blown up(从那时起，它就火了)”可知，这个概念火了，所以其他心理学家也纷纷支持这种做法。由此推知，划线单词意为“支持”。故选A。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中““Habit stacking is a really effective strategy for building new habits because it builds on the existing neural (神经的) networks in our brains, ” explains Melissa Ming Foynes, a licensed psychologist.(“习惯叠加是一种非常有效的建立新习惯的策略，因为它建立在我们大脑中现有的神经网络基础上，”注册心理学家梅利莎明·福恩斯解释道)”可知，习惯叠加是一种非常有效的建立新习惯的策略，因为它利用了现有的大脑模式。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In the midst of a busy lifestyle, habit sacking can be helpful because the new habits often feel less like an “add-on” when tied to something you already do anyway. This approach can feel more integrated, and therefore, less stressful.(在忙碌的生活方式中，习惯堆积是有帮助的，因为当新的习惯与你本来就要做的事情联系在一起时，通常会感觉不那么“附加任务”。这种方法会感觉更加融合，因此压力也会更小)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了习惯叠加在现代社会的好处。故选C。 D Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately applied in schools rather than being banned. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Emie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with assignments and tests. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng. According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warned about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI. Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to address AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias. 51. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 52. What is the primary concern raised by the survey conducted by Study? A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools. B. Dishonest behavior in the students’ homework. C. The students’ reliance on AI tools to learn. D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers. 53. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools? A. Prohibiting them due to academic issues. B. Protecting them from the potential harm. C Applying them in a proper and efficient way. D. Using them without restrictions. 54. The underlined word “address” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______. A. Tackle B. React C. Wipe D. Mount 55. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The unique approach of China in regulating AI. B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education. C. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services. D. The international cooperation in addressing AI-related issues. 【答案】51. A 52. B 53. C 54. A 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人工智能在教育领域的应用及其带来的机遇和挑战，对AI技术在教育中的使用提出了建议和规范，并指出了全球范围内对AI技术监管所进行的努力。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education.

I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an interview opportunity for a stable job: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor, and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain.” In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 56. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 57. What do the underlined words“came clean” mean in Paragraph 2? (No more than 3 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 58. How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 59. What are Kevin’s future plans after achieving his GED? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 60. What can we learn from Kevin’s story? (No more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because he had reached one of his goals./ Out of happiness/ Because he had received his GED. 57. Told the truth. 58. By posting his achievements on his bedroom wall. 59. He will go for further study./ He will study in a college. 60. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了从小患有阅读障碍的凯文坚持不懈，克服重重困难，终于在52岁时获得普通高中同等学历证书GED的励志故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.(我意识到他的眼泪不是出于悲伤，而是出于快乐。就在几天前，他以52岁的年龄获得了GED（普通高中同等学历证书）)”可知，凯文在教室里哭是因为他达到了他的一个目标。/出于幸福/因为他拿到了普通高中同等学历证书。故答案为Because he had reached one of his goals./ Out of happiness/ Because he had received his GED. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段中“Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs.(由于患有阅读障碍症，凯文很小就辍学了，然后通过打零工来养活自己)”以及划线词所在句子“Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED.(令人惊讶的是，当他向他们came clean自己的教育情况后，他们说只要他能拿到普通高中同等学历证书（GED），就会雇佣他)”可知，凯文对自己的教育背景说了真话，治安部门说只要他拿到普通高中同等学历证书就会雇用他。故划线词意思是“说了真话”。故答案为Told the truth. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results.
