What does the speakers think of the health insurance? A. It’s very expensive. B. It’s wasteful. C. It’s very useful. 18. What should international students do in America? A.

B 【解析】 【原文】M: Most universities and colleges in the United States have a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around $300 a year now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical problem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should buy a medical insurance when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help you with that. Private doctors are the standard form of the medical care in America, but there are also college clinics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be different in these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leave China, I suggest you have a medical examination. If there is something wrong, you can have it cured in your own country. Don’t forget to take your personal and family health records abroad with you. They provide important and useful information if you need to go to the hospital. But remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t work too hard. 第二部分：阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节：(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Lexington High School summer session (June 12-July 26) Morning sessions: Section A: 8: 10-9: 10 Section B: 9: 20-10: 20 Section C: 10: 40-11: 40 Section D: 11: 50-12: 50 Afternoon sports: 2: 00-3: 30 American Sign Language(ASL) It is thrilling to introduce ASL to our Lexington community with the arrival of our instructor, Mr. Wilson.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了Lexington高中夏季课程的安排和内容。课程包括ASL手语课程，棒球营，提高高中英语水平课程和计算机技能培训课程。每个课程都有详细的时间，年级要求和费用。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据American Sign Language(ASL)部分中“It is thrilling to introduce ASL to our Lexington community with the arrival of our instructor, Mr. Wilson.(随着我们的指导老师Wilson先生的到来，我们非常激动地向莱克星顿社区介绍美国手语。)”以及“Additionally, students will gain insights into the distinctions between the hearing and the deaf communities.(此外，学生将深入了解听力和聋人社区之间的区别。)”可知，Wilson先生将会指导学生了解听障人士和健听人士之间的区别，即学习一种给聋人使用的手语。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据English Skills for High School部分中“ In this class, we will read Madeleine L’Engle’ s fantastic novel A Wrinkle in Time, we will craft our own imaginative narratives, and we will strengthen the core English skills that are crucial for high school students.(在这门课程中，我们将阅读马德琳·L'Engle的奇幻小说《时间折皱》，我们将创作自己的富有想象力的故事，并且我们将加强对于高中学生至关重要的核心英语技能。)”可知，这项课程适合对文学有热情的学生，同时此处指出该课程为Section B 部分。同时根据文章开头处“Morning sessions: Section B: 9: 20-10: 20(上午会议：B部分：9:20 - 10:20)”可知，该课程在上午第二节课时间进行，即9:20-10:20。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Computer Skills Training部分中“Prior experience of block coding is suggested for students enrolling in this course.(本课程建议学生有分组编码的经验。)”以及“Cost: $240 ;Book fee: $30(费用：240$；教材费：30$)”可知，该课程费用为$240，教材费用为$30。所以，总共的费用为$240 + $30 = $270。故选D。 B All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade. He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them. “We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.” This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest. The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge. 24. What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs? A. Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself. B. Miss Price knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him. C. Miss Price didn’t know much about Vincent, but that didn’t stop her wanting to care about him. D. Vincent sat in the back row so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival. 25. Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin. B. To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers. C. To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes. D. To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Vincent? A. Devoted but shy. B. Nervous and uneasy. C. Untalkative and tough. D. Sensitive but unfortunate. 27. What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates? A. They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him. B. They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough. C. They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom. D. They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Vincent Sabella来到一所新学校读书，他的老师和同学对他的看法和态度。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.”（一个不那么认真的老师也许会要求了解更多的细节，但普赖斯小姐对这个粗略的提纲很满意。从他上四年级的第一天早上起，她的眼睛里就充满了使命感。）可知，普莱斯老师对文森特了解不多，但这并没有阻止她想关心他。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City.”（“今天早上我们有一个新同学，”普莱斯小姐说，“他的名字叫文森特·萨贝拉，来自纽约市。）以及第四段“Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it.”（通常，有人从纽约来这一事实可能具有某种地位，因为对大多数孩子来说，这座城市是一个可怕的、成人的地方，每天吞噬着他们的父亲。但任何人一眼就能看出文森特·萨贝拉与此无关。）可知，作者在第三段和第四段提到“纽约”，是为了说明文森特和人们的想象中的形象之间有某些区别。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other.”（这一次，他们都转过身来盯着他看，这使他稍稍低下头，把重心从一边移到另一边。）可推知，文森特紧张不安。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles.”（女孩们觉得他不太好，就转身走开了，但男孩们仍在检查中，微笑着上下打量着他。）可知，文森特的新同学要么对他漠不关心，要么对他不友好。故选A项。 C Do we really know our best friends? I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again. The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives. This seems strange, until you consider, that many-of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendahip may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends. Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions. 28. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph? A. To provide background information. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To show the difference between friends. 29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. friendships B. strangers C. researchers D. benefits 30. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ . A. close friends usually know each other in depth B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them 31. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept? A. Stay friends but keep a distance. B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. D. True friends know all about you and still like you. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“我们是否真正了解自己最好的朋友”这一主题展开讨论，通过列举朋友的事例、引用研究结果等方式，阐述了对朋友关系的看法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.(我非常喜欢我的好朋友，然而，他们几乎每天都让我震惊。我有一个朋友认为投票是浪费时间；我还有一个朋友从不认真对待任何约定在特定时间和地点见面的安排。)”可知，作者在第一段中讲述了他两个朋友的故事，是为了引出文章的主题。故选B。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This seems strange, until you consider, that many of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability.(这看起来很奇怪，直到你考虑到，友谊提供的许多好处并不一定依赖于完美的熟悉；它们来自更接近可靠的东西。)”可知，此处“they”指代上文提到的“the benefits”。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens.(事实是我们并不了解我们的朋友。大量的研究表明，我们倾向于认为我们的朋友比实际情况更同意我们的观点。最引人注目的是，这个问题并不会随着友谊的加深而减少。)”和“Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives.(两个人可能会成为亲密的朋友，但对彼此内心生活的广阔领域仍然一无所知。)”可推断，我们不一定和密友有相同的个性。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship.(也许把友谊看作是一种互相陪伴、忽略彼此缺点、不深入探究可能削弱友谊的方式，这有些令人感动。)”可推断，作者可能会接受“做朋友但保持距离”这种说法。故选A。 D Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making. Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students. To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation. Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions. Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children’s Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well. 32. What may help solve the group work paradox? A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students. C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement. 33. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students? A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality. C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties. B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class. C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities. D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Paradox of Cooperative Learning and Its Solution B. Impact of Effective Communicators in Group Discussion C. Teaching Children to Cooperate in Classroom Group Work D. Exploratory Talk as a Powerful Learning Tool in Group Work 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是合作学习悖论，以及教师如何来解决这一悖论，让小组学习变得有效。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students.(对课堂小组作业的研究揭示了一个悖论：虽然合作学习可以非常有效，但仅仅将孩子们分组往往被证明是无效的。解决办法在于教孩子们如何有效地合作。在这一过程中，教师通过与学生的互动发挥着至关重要的作用)”和第三段“To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk.(为了确保有效的小组工作，教师必须首先提高学生对小组活动的目的和价值的认识。更重要的是，他们需要教学生如何进行理性的讨论，也就是所谓的探索性谈话)”可知，教师的有效指导可以帮助解决小组工作悖论。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas.(成功的合作需要理性的讨论，这可以通过建立一套“探索性谈话的基本规则”来促进。这些规则指导诸如询问信息、寻找并提供理由以及评估建议等行为。基本规则帮助孩子提出问题、贡献、推理和发展想法)”可知，为学生制定基本规则是为了在谈话中鼓励推理。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic.

Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled. “Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry. “Thanks. It’s from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.” “So, about the newspapers ……” the editor paused. Henry’s smile faded. “We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV —— live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged. “Um, no! It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye. A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a notebook. First stop: No.26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics (漫画) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them?” “Maybe. I’ll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook. He stopped at No. 27. Mrs. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.” “Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but …… Know any neighbor with experience?” Mr. Simon was at No.28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.” As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter (简报) for the neighborhood. But how would he print it? He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine (滚筒油印机), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work?” she asked. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter.. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. Customers cheered Henry’s idea. Besides Mrs. Burke who longed for a babysitter and Mr. Simon who desired a large audience for his concert, Henry also collected six other neighbors appealing and needs, including Mr Grady who yearned for his children’s coming back for a short reunion. Information in hand, Henry knocked at Mr. Trotta’s door and pleaded for his support in publishing his first Oak Street News, who approved almost immediately. Soon, Henry’s tabloid was in circulation, which he cheerfully delivered from door to door as before. The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter. Neigh bons applauded the idea of sharing their needs in a communal newspaper, which really addressed their immediate concern in a practical and efficient way. As Mrs Burke successfully found an ideal babysitter, Mr Simon secured a large following for his concert and Mr Grady who happily reunited with his kids. Henry realized. from his deep heart, that The Gazette was far from gone in this TV era, but transformed into Oak Street News that connected, bonded and tied the Oak neighbors in a cory fabric. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了亨利是一个送报工，但是随着电视的流行，报纸公司快要关门了。这时亨利想到了创办第一份《橡树街新闻》报纸，来刊登邻居们的需求。不久，亨利的小报开始发行，他像以前一样兴高采烈地挨家挨户地送报纸。邻居们对在社区报纸上分享他们的需求的想法表示欢迎，这确实以一种实用而有效的方式解决了他们最关心的问题。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““完美”，亨利有信心执行他的计划。”可知，第一段可描写亨利创办《橡树街新闻》报纸，来刊登邻居们的需求。 ②由第二段首句内容“枫树街的邻居们对这份时事通讯感到惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写《橡树街新闻》报纸带来的良好影响。 2. 续写线索：有信心执行计划——亨利收集信息——出版《橡树街新闻》报纸——送报纸——邻居的需求得到解决——邻居联系在一起。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect/gather ②渴望：yearn for/long for ③支持：approve/be in favor of 情绪类 ①高兴地：cheerfully/gladly ②高效的：efficient/effective 【点睛】[高分句型1] Besides Mrs. Burke who longed for a babysitter and Mr. Simon who desired a large audience for his concert, Henry also collected six other neighbors appealing and needs, including Mr Grady who yearned for his children’s coming back for a short reunion.

B All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade. He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them. “We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.” This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest. The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge. 24. What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs? A. Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself. B. Miss Price knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him. C. Miss Price didn’t know much about Vincent, but that didn’t stop her wanting to care about him. D. Vincent sat in the back row so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival. 25. Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin. B. To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers. C. To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes. D. To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Vincent? A. Devoted but shy. B. Nervous and uneasy. C. Untalkative and tough. D. Sensitive but unfortunate. 27. What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates? A. They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him. B. They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough. C. They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom. D. They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner. C Do we really know our best friends? I like my close friends a lot, and yet, on an almost daily basis, they shocked me. I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously. It’s generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable, or similar to our own, and yet experience regularly contradicts this. What is a friend, really? All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again. The truth is that we don’t know our friends. Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do. The striking part is that the problem doesn’t appear to lessen as a friendship deepens. When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms, they found that, as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other, and yet, in reality, the judgments grew no more accurate. Two people might become dear friends, yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other’s inner lives. This seems strange, until you consider, that many-of the benefits that friendship provides don’t necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. Friendahip may be less about being drawn to someone’s personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company, or lend an ear. A friend provides the “social-identity support” we desire. You needn’t be a close match with someone, nor deeply familiar with their mind. And once a friendship has begun, you want to like it, if only to confirm that you made the right decision. We don’t want to know everything about our friends. We don’t base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people, and what to ignore, based on having decided to be friends. Perhaps there’s something moving about viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company, ignore each other’s faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply in ways that might weaken the friendship. Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn’t ask many awkward questions. 28. Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph? A. To provide background information. B. To introduce the topic of the passage. C. To stress the importance of friendship. D. To show the difference between friends. 29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______ . A. friendships B. strangers C. researchers D. benefits 30. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ . A. close friends usually know each other in depth B. real friends are people you like but don’t wish to see often C. we do not necessarily share personalities with close friends D. the longer we stay with friends, the more accurately we judge them 31. Which statement about friends will the author probably accept? A. Stay friends but keep a distance. B. It takes a long time to grow an old friend. C. Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. D. True friends know all about you and still like you. D Can you think of someone who is an excellent communicator? He must have good skills of speaking confidently in various situations, including presentations, group discussions and activities. He should be good at listening to others, understanding group dynamic and promoting shared decision-making. Research on classroom-based group work reveals a paradox (悖论): while cooperative learning can be highly effective, merely placing children in groups often proves unproductive. The solution lies in teaching children how to cooperate effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in this process through their interaction with students. To ensure effective group work, teachers must first raise students’ awareness of the purpose and value of group activities. More importantly, they need to teach students how to engage in reasoned discussions, known as Exploratory Talk. This involves considering everyone’s viewpoints, justifying arguments with reasons, and seeking evidence to support arguments. It also involves expressing critically but constructively, such as other ideas, ideas, contributions, and seeking further explanation. Successful cooperation requires a reasoned discussion, which can be facilitated by establishing a set of “Ground Rules for Exploratory Talk”. These rules guide behaviors such as asking for information, seeking and providing reasons, and evaluating proposals. Ground Rules help children ask questions, contribute, reason, and develop ideas. For instance, children learn to ask “What do you think? Why?” and listen attentively to each other’s responses, reaching reasoned conclusions. Exploratory Talk enhances group activities as a powerful learning tool. Certain activities, like Talking Points, are particularly effective in stimulating such discussions. Talking Points are inspiring statements designed to encourage children to share knowledge and ideas on a specific topic. Research indicates that children’s Talking Points about more imaginative and extensive responses to traditional questions. They help children focus on the topic and compare their viewpoints with others. As they discuss children realize that their ideas can develop with new evidence and that alternative or valuable sources are new thinking. With proper guidance, the students will soon begin to see their ideas flowing. And gradually they will learn to participate fully not only in discussions but also in life as well. 32. What may help solve the group work paradox? A. Active interaction among teachers. B. Group learning among students. C. Teachers’ effective guidance. D. Students’ deep engagement. 33. Why should Ground Rules be set for the students? A. To popularize group activities. B. To build up their individuality. C. To stimulate more proposals. D. To encourage reasoning in talks. 34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Students should be challenged with uncertainties. B. Traditional questions should be avoided in class. C. Well-designed learning materials are group activities. D. Idea exchanges between the students deserve top priority. 35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Paradox of Cooperative Learning and Its Solution B. Impact of Effective Communicators in Group Discussion C. Teaching Children to Cooperate in Classroom Group Work D. Exploratory Talk as a Powerful Learning Tool in Group Work 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。 As the world’s population increases, so does the need for food, especially from animal sources.

Henry, the paperboy, finished delivering his newspapers on Maple Street. He was to meet the chief editor of the newspaper The Gazette. “Maybe I’d get a longer route,” he smiled. “Hello, Henry. Wow! Strong handshake!” The chief editor shook hands with Henry. “Thanks. It’s from rolling and delivering all those newspapers.” “So, about the newspapers ……” the editor paused. Henry’s smile faded. “We’re closing shop. Last July, the whole world saw the moon landing on TV —— live. Television is how people get their news today. Local newspapers are the first to close.” He shrugged. “Um, no! It’s sad. People won’t get their neighborhood news anymore,” said Henry. The editor nodded and sighed. Then, they waved goodbye. A week later, Henry wondered if his old customers on Maple Street missed The Gazette as much as he did. He started out in the morning on his old route with a notebook. First stop: No.26. Mr. Grady answered when asked, “I sure miss the days of reading the weeks’ happenings in The Gazette. By the way, I have a pile of comics (漫画) from The Gazette. Think someone would want them?” “Maybe. I’ll ask around.” Henry took a note in his notebook. He stopped at No. 27. Mrs. Burke was busy feeding her three babies. Henry suggested, “You should hire a babysitter.” “Definitely! I was going to put an ad in The Gazette, but …… Know any neighbor with experience?” Mr. Simon was at No.28, carrying his guitar. “Hey, Henry. My band is having a concert in the park next Friday. Tell all your friends.” As Henry made more notes, an idea flashed across his mind: maybe he could create a newsletter (简报) for the neighborhood. But how would he print it? He headed to the library and found the librarian. Seconds later, in front of a mimeograph machine (滚筒油印机), the librarian turned a handle and a printed sheet rolled out. “Will mimeographed copies work?” she asked. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Perfect,” Henry was confident to carry out his plan. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors on Maple Street were amazed at the newsletter.. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有。5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Now, mrs, know what can you remember about the attack?
