She was immediately blown away by the city’s beauty. Dolan wanted to keep the joy she felt but she didn’t have time to write in her journal and she had no camera, so she sent her first postcard to herself after she went there. Some 10 days later, Dolan returned home to a pile of postcards from herself. Receiving them, recalls Dolan, was a great joy. She already sensed the postcards would serve as time capsules of a place and a moment. The trip to Vancouver awakened Dolan’s love of travel. She decided exploring the world was her first priority (优先) and went traveling for almost three years. On these adventures in the early 1980s, Dolan kept travel journals, but she also continued her habit of sending postcards to herself. Over 40 years later, Dolan is still a greedy traveler and keen postcard writer. Over the decades, she’s sent hundreds of postcards to herself from trips across the world. Amazingly, they’ve all arrived though sometimes over a year delayed. Dolan’s always enjoyed the process of choosing the postcards as much as she enjoys writing and receiving them. She explains she’s deliberate and considered with her postcard picks. Dolan’s noticed that postcards have a tendency to draw an imagined ideal (理想) of a destination, rather than its reality. That’s one of the reasons why Dolan sometimes chooses introduction cards. Sometimes Dolan will have a predetermined idea of what she wants her chosen postcard to look like, and will hunt around the destination until she finds the perfect realization of her vision. Other times, Dolan comes across the postcards when she least expects it. Today, Dolan is 64 and lives in Vancouver, the city which first awakened her love of travel. She spent her career working in administration, always saving up for her next adventure. 4. What can we learn about Dolan’s postcards? A. The first postcard was sent from Vancouver. B. Dolan has sent herself just a few postcards. C. Many of Dolan’s postcards were lost in the mail. D. Dolan’s postcards took the place of travel journals. 5. What might Dolan think of when she goes through the postcards? A. Fond memories of her travels. B. The meaning of traveling alone. C. Known content for her eyes only. D. The pressure to explore the world. 6. What is Dolan’s attitude to travel? A. Abnormal. B. Conservative. C. Enthusiastic. D. Dissatisfactory. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Beauty on Postcards B. A Great Collection of Postcards C. A Hobby of Collecting Postcards D. A Traveler Sending Herself Postcards 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了黛布拉・多兰（Debra Dolan）自 1979 年首次独自前往温哥华旅行时，因想留存旅行的快乐而开始给自己寄明信片，此后四十多年间，她持续保持这一习惯，同时也始终热爱旅行的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 1979, Debra Dolan was 21 and on her first solo trip to Vancouver... so she sent her first postcard to herself after she went there.(1979 年，21 岁的黛布拉・多兰第一次独自前往温哥华旅行。她立刻被这座城市的美丽所震撼。多兰想留住她感受到的快乐，但她没有时间写日记，也没有相机，所以她到那里后给自己寄了第一张明信片)”可知，第一张明信片是从温哥华寄出的。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“She already sensed the postcards would serve as time capsules of a place and a moment.(她已经感觉到这些明信片将成为一个地方和一个时刻的时间胶囊)”可知，明信片记录着旅行中的地点和时刻。由此可推知，当多兰翻看这些明信片时，可能会想起旅行中的美好回忆。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段 “The trip to Vancouver awakened Dolan’s love of travel. She decided exploring the world was her first priority (优先) and went traveling for almost three years.(温哥华之旅唤醒了多兰对旅行的热爱。她决定探索世界是她的首要任务，并进行了近三年的旅行)”以及第四段 “Over 40 years later, Dolan is still a greedy traveler and keen postcard writer.(40 多年后，多兰仍然是一个热衷于旅行的人，也是一个热衷于写明信片的人)”可知，多兰热爱旅行，对旅行充满热情。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。主要讲述了黛布拉・多兰（Debra Dolan）自 1979 年首次独自前往温哥华旅行时，因想留存旅行的快乐而开始给自己寄明信片，此后四十多年间，她持续保持这一习惯，同时也始终热爱旅行的故事。所以短文的最佳标题为“给自己寄明信片的旅行者”。故选D。 C Parents researching K-12 schools for their children may come across the term “progressive education”. While schools may vary in how they define this approach, progressive schools aim to engage students “as active participants in their learning and in society”. Whether public or private, these schools generally offer a project-based course with an emphasis on students’ agency in their learning. Progressive education is rooted in the ideas of early 20th-century education reformers like John Dewey. He called for an approach where children were placed at the center of their own learning, and believed education should be active and hands-on; that students should be thinking, doing and experimenting instead of sitting quietly and memorizing. Now known as “the father of progressive education”, Dewey’s vision continues to influence schools across the country today. With students empowered to take so much responsibility for their learning, a progressive classroom is likely to look different from a traditional one. Children solving problems together may create a louder environment than a room where they are listening to a teacher lecture. Projects are often immersive, cooperative and multidisciplinary. For example, kindergarten students do an annual project on maple syrup (枫糖) that combines science by looking at weather patterns and trees, social studies and history by learning about the local traditions of sugaring, and literacy (读写) as students read about the process and stories behind it. Each year, the approach to teaching the unit is also shaped by the interests of a particular class. Experts say that progressive schools can work well for almost any child since the model is so focused on the development of each individual student and even shy children can also succeed. Social-emotional learning is as important as academics in a progressive classroom. However, it requires teachers to have a lot of skills, as they should know each student as a “whole person” — including their cultures, their families and their strengths — to engage them in learning. 8. What do progressive schools have in common? A. Their form of ownership. B. Their education objective. C. Their course-based teaching. D. Their definition of progressive education. 9. What are students supposed to do in progressive classrooms? A. They should take the teacher as the center in class. B. They should strictly observe the classroom disciplines. C. They should play the main role in their learning processes. D. They should remember as much of the textbook as possible. 10. What does the underlined word “multidisciplinary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including two or more fields of study. B. Combining media of communication. C. Relating to or including several cultures. D. Using or knowing more than one language. 11. What does progressive education require from teachers? A. Giving a lot of direct instruction to students. B. Having a thorough awareness of each student. C. Meeting the different requirements of each student. D. Explaining the knowledge as detailedly as possible. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了进步教育的起源以及进步教育的目标和教育理念。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“While schools may vary in how they define this approach, progressive schools aim to engage students “as active participants in their learning and in society”.( 虽然学校对这种方法的定义可能各不相同，但进步学校的目标是让学生“积极参与学习和社会”。)”可知，尽管学校对这种教育方式的定义可能不同，但进步学校的目标是让学生“成为学习和社会的积极参与者”，即它们有着共同的教育目标。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“While schools may vary in how they define this approach, progressive schools aim to engage students “as active participants in their learning and in society”.( 虽然学校对这种方法的定义可能各不相同，但进步学校的目标是让学生“积极参与学习和社会”。)”以及第二段中“He called for an approach where children were placed at the center of their own learning, and believed education should be active and hands-on(他呼吁采取一种方法，让孩子们以自己的学习为中心，并认为教育应该是积极的、实践性的。)”可推知，在进步学校的课堂上，学生应在学习过程中发挥主要作用。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“For example, kindergarten students do an annual project on maple syrup (枫糖) that combines science by looking at weather patterns and trees, social studies and history by learning about the local traditions of sugaring, and literacy (读写) as students read about the process and stories behind it.( 例如，幼儿园学生每年做一个关于枫糖浆的项目，通过观察天气模式和树木来结合科学，通过学习当地的制糖传统来结合社会研究和历史，通过阅读制糖过程和背后的故事来提高学生的读写能力。)”可知，幼儿园学生做的关于枫糖的项目结合了科学、社会研究、历史和读写等多个学科，所以“multidisciplinary”的意思是“包括两个或多个研究领域”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, it requires teachers to have a lot of skills, as they should know each student as a “whole person” — including their cultures, their families and their strengths — to engage them in learning.( 然而，它要求教师具备很多技能，因为他们应该了解每个学生作为一个“完整的人”——包括他们的文化、他们的家庭和他们的优势——让他们参与学习。)”可知，进步教育要求教师对每个学生有全面的了解。故选B项。 D A study finds that creative people are more likely to productively use idle (空闲的) time by letting one idea lead to another. The study participants who were more creative felt less bored when they sat alone in a room. History is filled with stories of famous scientists, artists and philosophers who enjoyed being alone with their thoughts, and those people often came up with some of their best ideas during idle time. In psychology and medicine, most studies on human thoughts either prompt (提示) participants to think in a certain way or ask them to report on thoughts they experienced, but less is known about how thoughts naturally arise and unfold over time in unprompted contexts. This is where the study came in. The researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt, the participants were asked to voice their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then transcribed and analyzed (转录和分析). Researchers found that while many participants tended to jump between seemingly unrelated thoughts, creative individuals showed signs of thinking more associatively and they were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions, such as cell phones and Internet. To complement (补充) their initial findings, the researchers extended their study in the context of a much larger time, the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were alone with their thoughts more often. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app. Participants who self-identified as being creative reported being less bored during the pandemic. “As we become more overworked, over-planned and addicted to our digital devices, I think we need to do a better job in our homes, our workplaces and our schools to spare time to simply relax with our thoughts,” Andrews Hanna, a researcher, said. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising intervention (干预) to improve health and well-being.” 12. What did the study focus on? A. How thoughts naturally come into being. B. What people mainly think of in spare time. C. Whether people can control their thoughts. D. When people offer their thoughts to the public. 13. What advantage do creative people have in thinking? A. They feel more bored when they stay alone. B. They tend to share their thoughts with others. C. They think more associatively and focusedly. D. They always jump between unrelated thoughts. 14. What does Andrews Hanna advise us to do with our life? A. Change a job closer to our homes and families. B. Become far more overworked and over-planned. C. Relax ourselves by thinking when overtired. D. Be used to our digital devices and smartphone apps. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A study about the ways people think are controlled. B. A study on how people’s thoughts are fully reported. C. A study about why people should voice their thoughts. D. A study on why creative people can best use idle time. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明，富有创造力的人更有可能通过探索自己的思维，充分利用空闲时间。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In psychology and medicine, most studies on human thoughts either prompt (提示) participants to think in a certain way or ask them to report on thoughts they experienced, but less is known about how thoughts naturally arise and unfold over time in unprompted contexts. This is where the study came in.( 在心理学和医学中，大多数关于人类思想的研究要么促使参与者以某种方式思考，要么要求他们报告他们所经历的想法，但很少有人知道思想是如何在无提示的情况下自然产生和展开的。这就是研究的切入点。)” 可知，该研究关注的是在没有提示的情况下，思想是如何自然产生和发展的，也就是思想是如何自然形成的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Researchers found that while many participants tended to jump between seemingly unrelated thoughts, creative individuals showed signs of thinking more associatively and they were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions, such as cell phones and Internet.( 研究人员发现，虽然许多参与者倾向于在看似不相关的想法之间跳跃，但有创造力的人表现出更多联想性思维的迹象，当他们独处，没有手机和互联网等干扰时，他们更专注于自己的想法。)”可知，有创造力的人在思考时表现出更强的联想性，并且在没有干扰的情况下更专注于自己的思考。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““As we become more overworked, over-planned and addicted to our digital devices, I think we need to do a better job in our homes, our workplaces and our schools to spare time to simply relax with our thoughts,” Andrews Hanna, a researcher, said.( 研究人员Andrews Hanna说：“随着我们越来越劳累过度、计划过多、沉迷于电子设备，我认为我们需要在家里、工作场所和学校里做得更好，腾出时间来放松自己的思想。”)”可知，Andrews Hanna 认为当我们过度劳累、过度计划且沉迷于数字设备时，我们需要在家庭、工作场所和学校中留出时间，通过思考来放松自己。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“A study finds that creative people are more likely to productively use idle (空闲的) time by letting one idea lead to another.( 一项研究发现，有创造力的人更有可能通过让一个想法引发另一个想法来有效地利用空闲时间。)”可知，文章第一段指出一项研究发现有创造力的人更有可能有效地利用空闲时间，让一个想法引出另一个想法，接下来详细介绍了这项研究的过程和发现，所以文章主要讲述的是关于为什么有创造力的人能够最好地利用空闲时间的研究。故选D项。 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。 World Oceans Day World Oceans Day on 8 June every year is a special day for learning about oceans, why they’re in danger and how important it is to protect them. There are five oceans on Earth: the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Antarctic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, of which the Pacific Ocean is the biggest and the Arctic Ocean is the smallest and is frozen for much of the year. ____16____ ____17____ Oceans are home to 50 to 80 percent of all species on Earth. Oceans hold about 97 percent of all the water on our planet and give us rainwater and drinking water through the water cycle. At least half the oxygen we breathe comes from the plants in the ocean. ____18____ A lot of our food comes from oceans, and millions of people worldwide have jobs related to fishing and fish farming. Oceans also provide us with much of our energy. We can also use the power of waves and tides to produce electricity and many wind farms are located offshore. Sadly, our oceans are in danger. Billions and billions of pieces of plastic are floating around in our oceans. Plastic pollution is harming and killing sea creatures like fish, birds and turtles. ____19____ That’s because fish eat the tiny pieces of plastic and then humans eat the fish. For World Oceans Day you could join in many activities. ____20____ You could use social media platforms to share posts, photos or videos that show how important oceans are and why we need to protect them. You could take part in a photo, art or writing contest around the theme of the ocean or watch ocean-related films and documentaries. A. You could do a beach clean-up. B. Without oceans, life couldn’t exist. C. It’s also dangerous for our health too. D. Despite all its benefits, the ocean still needs support. E. But it is melting now because of global warming. F. Humans use the ocean in many different ways. G. We should work together to create a new relationship with oceans. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界海洋日，解释了地球上的五大洋情况、海洋的重要性、人类对海洋的利用、海洋面临的危险以及在世界海洋日可以参与的活动等内容。 【16题详解】 根据上文“the Arctic Ocean is the smallest and is frozen for much of the year.(北冰洋是最小的，一年中大部分时间处于冰冻状态。)”可知北冰洋大部分时间处于冰冻状态，可推理出接下来是对北冰洋现状的进一步说明，与E项“But it is melting now because of global warming.(但由于全球变暖，它现在正在融化)”表达的含义一致，故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Oceans are home to 50 to 80 percent of all species on Earth. Oceans hold about 97 percent of all the water on our planet and give us rainwater and drinking water through the water cycle. At least half the oxygen we breathe comes from the plants in the ocean.(海洋是地球上50%到80%物种的家园。海洋容纳了地球上大约97%的水，并通过水循环为我们提供雨水和饮用水。我们呼吸的氧气至少有一半来自海洋中的植物。)”可知此处是在阐述海洋对生命存在的重要性，若没有海洋，生命就无法存在，与B项“Without oceans, life couldn’t exist.(没有海洋，生命就无法存在。)”表达的意思相符，故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“A lot of our food comes from oceans, and millions of people worldwide have jobs related to fishing and fish farming. Oceans also provide us with much of our energy. We can also use the power of waves and tides to produce electricity and many wind farms are located offshore.(我们很多食物来自海洋，全世界数百万人从事与捕鱼和养鱼相关的工作。海洋也为我们提供了大部分能源。我们还可以利用海浪和潮汐的力量发电，许多风力发电场位于近海。)”可知是在讲人类从海洋中获取食物、能源等多方面利用海洋的情况，与F项“Humans use the ocean in many different ways.(人类以许多不同的方式利用海洋)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Plastic pollution is harming and killing sea creatures like fish, birds and turtles.(塑料污染正在伤害和杀死鱼类、鸟类和海龟等海洋生物。)”以及下文“That’s because fish eat the tiny pieces of plastic and then humans eat the fish.(这是因为鱼吃了微小的塑料碎片，然后人类吃鱼。)”可知塑料污染不仅对海洋生物有害，对人类健康也是危险的，与C项“It’s also dangerous for our health too.(这对我们的健康也很危险)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“For World Oceans Day you could join in many activities.(在世界海洋日，你可以参加许多活动)”可知后面要具体列举一些活动，A项“You could do a beach clean-up.(你可以进行海滩清理)”是列举的活动之一，符合语境，故选A项。 第二部分 语言知识运用（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。 My small town has been spending Memorial Day with a ceremony since the 1800s.

My mother, father and two younger sisters, along with my sixty-seven-year-old Grandma Betty and myself, finally arrived at the holy grail (圣杯) of all amusement parks, and we girls were beside ourselves with expectation. To be honest, I thought my grandma was, too. She hadn’t traveled much in her life and certainly had never been anywhere as exciting as Disney World! After the second ride, we all got off and got ready to change to the next one when one of us looked around and noticed that Grandma Betty wasn’t with us. This was alarming for many reasons, the most important being that Grandma Betty had limited vision and couldn’t read signs well. She had also started to show some signs of confusion. She could easily find herself lost in her own hometown, not to mention “The Most Magical Place on Earth”! We looked everywhere for her but couldn’t see her, and obviously she could not see or hear us. Cellphones didn’t exist at that time, so there was no help there. Anyone who has been to Disney knows how crowded and busy the park is. It’s pretty easy for a child to get lost in there, but we didn’t think it would be that easy to misplace a grandma! My mother told us to stay in that spot while she went to the “Missing Children” station to report her lost mother. We impatiently waited until she came back and said that she had given them a description, so we might as well move to the next destination. As the day came to an end, we struggled to Disney’s town square, hoping we might find her there while watching the Electrical Parade (游行), the beautiful parade of lights, music and Disney characters. I was sitting on the ground and watching the moving parade. Along came Mickey Mouse! And then Minnie Mouse! And then Daffy Duck and Cinderella! 注意：1．续写词数为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And then along came Grandma Betty! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We asked her why she was in the parade. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And then along came Grandma Betty! There she was in the middle of the Disney parade, literally marching in all her glory, keeping beat with the band. She was nodding and waving at the crowd, looking pleased with herself! I called out to my mom and pointed toward Grandma. My mom rushed into the middle of the parade group and caught my grandma’s arm. Grandma looked over, somewhat surprised to see a familiar face, and walked out of the line of Disney characters. We asked her why she was in the parade. “A parade?” she was surprised. She didn’t know that she was in a parade! When she saw the crowd of people all headed in one direction, she figured that if she walked with them, she could possibly find all of us! Everyone was waving at her, so she waved back, thinking people here were certainly friendly! She didn’t know she was one of the rare few who got to participate in that world-famous Disney parade, perhaps having the most magical time of us all! 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开描述，讲述了作者一家在1972年从堪萨斯州到佛罗里达州度假，并在迪士尼世界计划了令人兴奋的一天。作者和家人包括67岁的奶奶Betty在第二次游玩后准备换乘下一个项目时，发现奶奶不见了。奶奶视力有限，阅读标志困难，且开始表现出困惑，容易迷路。在寻找无果后，母亲去“失踪儿童”站报告。随着一天结束，他们前往迪士尼小镇广场，希望在观看灯光、音乐和迪士尼角色的美丽游行时找到她。就在这时，奶奶Betty出现在了游行队伍中。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后贝蒂奶奶来了!”可知，第一段可描写奶奶出现在游行队伍中，母亲冲进游行队伍抓住了奶奶的胳膊，奶奶有些惊讶地看到了一张熟悉的脸，走出了迪士尼角色的行列。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们问她为什么参加游行。”可知，第二段可描写奶奶解释自己为什么出现在游行队伍中，她不知道自己参与了迪士尼世界著名的游行，可能是所有人中最神奇的时刻。 2.续写线索：奶奶出现——妈妈抓住奶奶胳膊——奶奶惊讶——询问奶奶原因——奶奶解释 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①前进：march/advance ②抓住：catch/grasp ③参加：participate in/join in 情绪类 ①满意的：pleased/satisfied ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②友好的：friendly/good-natured 【点睛】[高分句型1] She was nodding and waving at the crowd, looking pleased with herself!

Here are a few programs students might consider. Camp Cronkite at Arizona State University This one-week media camp for potential reporters is held at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Students can select from one of three tracks (digital journalism, broadcast journalism or sports media), and leave with the start of their professional knowledge. Summer Scholars at Notre Dame Students spend two weeks on Notre Dame’s historic campus in South Bend, Indiana. Courses, taught by Notre Dame staff, range from archeology to world politics, and in the end, students earn one exchangeable college credit. The Summer Science Program Launched in 1959, the Summer Science Program is a nonprofit program run by program alumni (校友) and former staff. Teens complete immersive (身临其境的), team-based research projects in astrophysics, biochemistry or genomics at several host universities throughout the country, including Purdue University in Indiana, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and New Mexico State University. Yale Young Global Scholars This academic and leadership program at Yale University brings together more than 2,000 students from 150 countries and all 50 U. S. states to deal with topics across several subjects through international views. Syracuse University Pre-College Programs The university offers six different pre-college programs, including an on-campus residential program, hybrid and online options, and research immersion programs. 1. Which subject does Arizona State University offer? A. Archeology. B. Journalism. C. Astrophysics. D. Biochemistry. 2. Which program is a foreign student most likely to join in? A. Yale Young Global Scholars. B. The Summer Science Program. C. Summer Scholars at Notre Dame. D. Camp Cronkite at Arizona State University. 3. What is special for Syracuse University’s programs? A. It offers different programs. B. It has online programs. C. It gives students college credits. D. It accepts international students. B In 1979, Debra Dolan was 21 and on her first solo trip to Vancouver. She was immediately blown away by the city’s beauty. Dolan wanted to keep the joy she felt but she didn’t have time to write in her journal and she had no camera, so she sent her first postcard to herself after she went there. Some 10 days later, Dolan returned home to a pile of postcards from herself. Receiving them, recalls Dolan, was a great joy. She already sensed the postcards would serve as time capsules of a place and a moment. The trip to Vancouver awakened Dolan’s love of travel. She decided exploring the world was her first priority (优先) and went traveling for almost three years. On these adventures in the early 1980s, Dolan kept travel journals, but she also continued her habit of sending postcards to herself. Over 40 years later, Dolan is still a greedy traveler and keen postcard writer. Over the decades, she’s sent hundreds of postcards to herself from trips across the world. Amazingly, they’ve all arrived though sometimes over a year delayed. Dolan’s always enjoyed the process of choosing the postcards as much as she enjoys writing and receiving them. She explains she’s deliberate and considered with her postcard picks. Dolan’s noticed that postcards have a tendency to draw an imagined ideal (理想) of a destination, rather than its reality. That’s one of the reasons why Dolan sometimes chooses introduction cards. Sometimes Dolan will have a predetermined idea of what she wants her chosen postcard to look like, and will hunt around the destination until she finds the perfect realization of her vision. Other times, Dolan comes across the postcards when she least expects it. Today, Dolan is 64 and lives in Vancouver, the city which first awakened her love of travel. She spent her career working in administration, always saving up for her next adventure. 4. What can we learn about Dolan’s postcards? A. The first postcard was sent from Vancouver. B. Dolan has sent herself just a few postcards. C. Many of Dolan’s postcards were lost in the mail. D. Dolan’s postcards took the place of travel journals. 5. What might Dolan think of when she goes through the postcards? A. Fond memories of her travels. B. The meaning of traveling alone. C. Known content for her eyes only. D. The pressure to explore the world. 6. What is Dolan’s attitude to travel? A. Abnormal. B. Conservative. C. Enthusiastic. D. Dissatisfactory. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. The Beauty on Postcards B. A Great Collection of Postcards C. A Hobby of Collecting Postcards D. A Traveler Sending Herself Postcards C Parents researching K-12 schools for their children may come across the term “progressive education”. While schools may vary in how they define this approach, progressive schools aim to engage students “as active participants in their learning and in society”. Whether public or private, these schools generally offer a project-based course with an emphasis on students’ agency in their learning. Progressive education is rooted in the ideas of early 20th-century education reformers like John Dewey. He called for an approach where children were placed at the center of their own learning, and believed education should be active and hands-on; that students should be thinking, doing and experimenting instead of sitting quietly and memorizing. Now known as “the father of progressive education”, Dewey’s vision continues to influence schools across the country today. With students empowered to take so much responsibility for their learning, a progressive classroom is likely to look different from a traditional one. Children solving problems together may create a louder environment than a room where they are listening to a teacher lecture. Projects are often immersive, cooperative and multidisciplinary. For example, kindergarten students do an annual project on maple syrup (枫糖) that combines science by looking at weather patterns and trees, social studies and history by learning about the local traditions of sugaring, and literacy (读写) as students read about the process and stories behind it. Each year, the approach to teaching the unit is also shaped by the interests of a particular class. Experts say that progressive schools can work well for almost any child since the model is so focused on the development of each individual student and even shy children can also succeed. Social-emotional learning is as important as academics in a progressive classroom. However, it requires teachers to have a lot of skills, as they should know each student as a “whole person” — including their cultures, their families and their strengths — to engage them in learning. 8. What do progressive schools have in common? A. Their form of ownership. B. Their education objective. C. Their course-based teaching. D. Their definition of progressive education. 9. What are students supposed to do in progressive classrooms? A. They should take the teacher as the center in class. B. They should strictly observe the classroom disciplines. C. They should play the main role in their learning processes. D. They should remember as much of the textbook as possible. 10. What does the underlined word “multidisciplinary” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including two or more fields of study. B. Combining media of communication. C. Relating to or including several cultures. D. Using or knowing more than one language. 11. What does progressive education require from teachers? A. Giving a lot of direct instruction to students. B. Having a thorough awareness of each student. C. Meeting the different requirements of each student. D. Explaining the knowledge as detailedly as possible. D A study finds that creative people are more likely to productively use idle (空闲的) time by letting one idea lead to another. The study participants who were more creative felt less bored when they sat alone in a room. History is filled with stories of famous scientists, artists and philosophers who enjoyed being alone with their thoughts, and those people often came up with some of their best ideas during idle time. In psychology and medicine, most studies on human thoughts either prompt (提示) participants to think in a certain way or ask them to report on thoughts they experienced, but less is known about how thoughts naturally arise and unfold over time in unprompted contexts. This is where the study came in. The researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt, the participants were asked to voice their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then transcribed and analyzed (转录和分析). Researchers found that while many participants tended to jump between seemingly unrelated thoughts, creative individuals showed signs of thinking more associatively and they were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions, such as cell phones and Internet. To complement (补充) their initial findings, the researchers extended their study in the context of a much larger time, the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were alone with their thoughts more often. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app. Participants who self-identified as being creative reported being less bored during the pandemic. “As we become more overworked, over-planned and addicted to our digital devices, I think we need to do a better job in our homes, our workplaces and our schools to spare time to simply relax with our thoughts,” Andrews Hanna, a researcher, said. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising intervention (干预) to improve health and well-being.” 12. What did the study focus on? A. How thoughts naturally come into being. B. What people mainly think of in spare time. C. Whether people can control their thoughts. D. When people offer their thoughts to the public. 13. What advantage do creative people have in thinking? A. They feel more bored when they stay alone. B. They tend to share their thoughts with others. C. They think more associatively and focusedly. D. They always jump between unrelated thoughts. 14. What does Andrews Hanna advise us to do with our life? A. Change a job closer to our homes and families. B. Become far more overworked and over-planned. C. Relax ourselves by thinking when overtired. D. Be used to our digital devices and smartphone apps. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A study about the ways people think are controlled. B. A study on how people’s thoughts are fully reported. C. A study about why people should voice their thoughts. D. A study on why creative people can best use idle time. 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。 World Oceans Day World Oceans Day on 8 June every year is a special day for learning about oceans, why they’re in danger and how important it is to protect them.

My mother, father and two younger sisters, along with my sixty-seven-year-old Grandma Betty and myself, finally arrived at the holy grail (圣杯) of all amusement parks, and we girls were beside ourselves with expectation. To be honest, I thought my grandma was, too. She hadn’t traveled much in her life and certainly had never been anywhere as exciting as Disney World! After the second ride, we all got off and got ready to change to the next one when one of us looked around and noticed that Grandma Betty wasn’t with us. This was alarming for many reasons, the most important being that Grandma Betty had limited vision and couldn’t read signs well. She had also started to show some signs of confusion. She could easily find herself lost in her own hometown, not to mention “The Most Magical Place on Earth”! We looked everywhere for her but couldn’t see her, and obviously she could not see or hear us. Cellphones didn’t exist at that time, so there was no help there. Anyone who has been to Disney knows how crowded and busy the park is. It’s pretty easy for a child to get lost in there, but we didn’t think it would be that easy to misplace a grandma! My mother told us to stay in that spot while she went to the “Missing Children” station to report her lost mother. We impatiently waited until she came back and said that she had given them a description, so we might as well move to the next destination. As the day came to an end, we struggled to Disney’s town square, hoping we might find her there while watching the Electrical Parade (游行), the beautiful parade of lights, music and Disney characters. I was sitting on the ground and watching the moving parade. Along came Mickey Mouse! And then Minnie Mouse! And then Daffy Duck and Cinderella! 注意：1．续写词数为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And then along came Grandma Betty! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We asked her why she was in the parade. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
