He’s come up with an idea for a soap (肥皂) that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea. Heman’s family came to America from Ethiopia when he was 4. He remembers seeing people there working in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents, he learned about the dangers of cancer, and how important it was for people to protect their skin from the sun. Heman kept all this in mind. As a curious boy, he started doing experiments. Later, he read about a medicine called “imiquimod” that can help fight skin cancer. Heman knew it’d be helpful to get imiquimod to people in the early stages of skin cancer. He thought a good way might be through soap. But Heman knew simply mixing imiquimod with soap wouldn’t work. The medicine would just wash away. Instead, he thought about creating a soap with the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米粒子). These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap washed off. Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and used it to enter the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He finally came first, which came with a $25,000 prize. Heman is now working with scientist Vito Rebecca. His soap project is still at an early stage, but Heman has already made some soap. He and Dr. Rebecca are running tests. Heman is a very busy student, dividing his time between the lab and school. He plays the flute (长笛) in a music band. Outside of school, he enjoys playing basketball, reading, and playing chess. But Heman says he’s crazy about skin cancer research. “It feels great to think one day my soap will help save people’s life,” he told TIME. 4. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To show the changes in the family. B. To show how Heman’s parents taught him. C. To tell us what hard life the family used to live. D. To tell us why Heman wanted to make the soap. 5. How did Heman prevent the medicine washing away? A. By making the soap eatable. B. By doing different experiments. C. By putting them in nanoparticles. D. By mixing the medicine with some liquids. 6. What can we infer about Heman from the last paragraph? A. He really enjoys being famous. B. He leads an active and colorful life. C. His life is full of different pressure. D. His research takes up most of his time. 7. What lesson can we learn from this text? A. Never put today’s work till tomorrow. B. Leave professional problems to experts. C. Even children can also make a difference. D. Great inventions may be made by accident. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Heman因发明有助于治疗皮肤癌的肥皂而被评为《时代》杂志2024 年度儿童，介绍了他产生该想法的背景、解决技术问题的过程以及他丰富的个人生活，展现了少年的创造力和社会责任感。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He remembers seeing people there working in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents, he learned about the dangers of cancer, and how important it was for people to protect their skin from the sun(他记得看到那里的人们在阳光下劳作却不保护皮肤。从父母那里，他了解到癌症的危害，以及人们保护皮肤免受阳光伤害的重要性)”可知Heman从父母那里了解到癌症的危害，以及人们保护皮肤免受阳光伤害的重要性，可推理出第二段的作用是说明Heman 产生制作含药物肥皂想法的背景原因——目睹皮肤癌风险和防晒需求，从而引出他后续的研究动机。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead, he thought about creating a soap with the medicine inside super tiny 'nanoparticles'. These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap washed off(相反，他考虑制作一种将药物包裹在超微小‘纳米粒子’内的肥皂。这些纳米粒子可以附着在皮肤上，并在肥皂冲洗后释放咪喹莫特)”可知，Heman通过将药物封装在纳米粒子中，解决了药物被冲洗掉的问题，故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Heman is a very busy student, dividing his time between the lab and school. He plays the flute in a music band. Outside of school, he enjoys playing basketball, reading, and playing chess(Heman是一个非常忙碌的学生，在实验室和学校之间分配时间。他在乐队中吹长笛，课外喜欢打篮球、阅读和下棋)”可知，Heman是一个非常忙碌的学生，在实验室和学校之间分配时间。他在乐队中吹长笛，课外喜欢打篮球、阅读和下棋，可推理出他在科研、学业和兴趣爱好之间保持平衡，生活积极且丰富多彩。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He remembers seeing people there working in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents, he learned about the dangers of cancer, and how important it was for people to protect their skin from the sun(他记得看到那里的人们在阳光下劳作却不保护皮肤。从父母那里，他了解到癌症的危害，以及人们保护皮肤免受阳光伤害的重要性)”、第四段“Instead, he thought about creating a soap with the medicine inside super tiny 'nanoparticles'. These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap washed off(相反，他考虑制作一种将药物包裹在超微小“纳米粒子”内的肥皂。这些纳米粒子可以附着在皮肤上，并在肥皂冲洗后释放咪喹莫特)”以及最后一段“But Heman says he’s crazy about skin cancer research. “It feels great to think one day my soap will help save people’s life,” he told TIME(但Heman表示，他对皮肤癌研究非常着迷。“想到有一天我的肥皂能帮助拯救人们的生命，这种感觉很棒。”他告诉《时代》杂志)”可知文章讲述了14岁的 Heman 通过观察和思考，发明可能拯救生命的肥皂，并获得认可，他还对皮肤癌研究非常着迷，希望有一天他的肥皂能帮助拯救人们的生命。Heman以少年身份取得科研进展，证明即使是孩子也能带来改变，选项C“Even children can also make a difference(即使是孩子也能有所作为)”贴合文章传达的核心道理。故选C项。 C I’m a psychology researcher. Along with my instructor Thackery Brown and music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie, our recently published research uncovered interesting connections between music, emotion and memory. When you listen to music, it is not merely hearing engagement. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is essential for storing and retrieving (读取) memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional. While music’s ability to set off emotions and memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also change the emotional content of existing memories. Our theory was rooted in the concept of memory reactivation — the idea that when you recall a memory, it becomes temporarily changeable, allowing new information to be included. We then developed a three-day experiment. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral (中性的) stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. On the final day, we asked participants to recall the stories again, this time without any music. On the second day, we recorded their brain activity with FMRI scans, which measure brain activity. The results were striking. When participants listened to emotionally changed music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story. Even more interesting were the brain scans. When participants recalled stories while listening to music, there was increased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus. This is why a song associated with a significant life event can be so powerful—it activates both emotion and memory-processing regions. Memories, much like your favorite songs, can be remixed and remastered by music. The music you listen to while looking back or even while going about your daily routines might be subtly (不易察觉地) shaping how you remember those experiences in the future, However, further research is needed to confirm whether our findings have significant effects on everyday life and medical practices. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Music is tied to emotion and memory. B. The author is enthusiastic about music. C Listening to music makes the brain excited. D. Emotional music can influence our memory. 9. Why did the researchers choose emotionally neutral stories? A. They are easier to remember. B. Their details are hard to change. C. They are more common in our daily life. D. They make new emotional elements apparent. 10. What can be inferred form the last paragraph? A. Music may function as a means of curing. B. Details of our memories can be changed greatly. C. Only songs related to important life events can touch us. D. Their findings are short of strong and sufficient support. 11. What does this text mainly talk about? A. Listening to music helps improve our memory B. Ways to make our brain work more efficiently C. Music can change how we feel about the past D. There’s more potential to explore in music 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了音乐、情感和记忆之间的联系，以及音乐是否能够改变现有记忆的情感内容。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Along with my instructor Thackery Brown and music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie, our recently published research uncovered interesting connections between music, emotion and memory. When you listen to music, it is not merely hearing engagement. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active.(我和我的导师撒克里·布朗以及音乐专家索菲亚·梅迪扎德和格蕾丝·莱斯利，我们最近发表的研究揭示了音乐、情感和记忆之间有趣的联系。当你听音乐时，这不仅仅是听觉上的参与。你大脑中负责情感和记忆的部分也会变得活跃)”可知，音乐与情感和记忆紧密相关。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的实验过程和第四段提到的实验结果“When participants listened to emotionally changed music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story.(当参与者在回忆中性故事时听带有情感变化的音乐，他们更有可能为故事增添新的情感元素)”可推知，选择中性故事是为了让新的情感元素更明显地体现出来。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, further research is needed to confirm whether our findings have significant effects on everyday life and medical practices.(然而，还需要进一步的研究来证实我们的发现是否对日常生活和医疗实践有重大影响)”可知，此研究结果是否对日常生活和医疗实践有重大影响，还需要进一步研究来证实。由此推知，他们的研究结果缺乏有力且充分的证据支持。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是最后一段中的“Memories, much like your favorite songs, can be remixed and remastered by music. The music you listen to while looking back or even while going about your daily routines might be subtly (不易察觉地) shaping how you remember those experiences in the future.(记忆，就像你最喜欢的歌曲一样，可以通过音乐重新混音和重新制作。你在回顾过去或进行日常活动时听的音乐可能会微妙地影响你未来对这些经历的记忆)”可知，文章主要探讨了音乐如何改变我们对过去的感受，以及音乐、情感和记忆之间的联系。由此可知，“C. Music can change how we feel about the past(音乐可以改变我们对过去的感受)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。 D In today’s fast-paced world, multitasking has become the norm, and often a requirement on job listings. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental exercises involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. However, while we take pride in our ability to tackle multiple tasks at the same time, we are likely to overestimate our multitasking capability. A study was conducted on individuals who engage in media multitasking, such as using Facebook while watching TV, to assess whether multitasking enhanced productivity in specific tasks. The findings revealed that we often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. Actually, when we switch between multiple tasks, we must pay a specific bill known as the task-switch cost. Multitasking damages the brain networks involved, leading to reduced performance accuracy. We’re more likely to make errors when switching between tasks, as compared to when our focus remains locked on a single task, and completing the multi-tasks will take longer. While practice can enhance your multitasking abilities, it’s impossible to entirely avoid the costs of task-switching. Now, some tasks demand minimal active thinking and can be mastered without realizing you’re multitasking. One example is having a phone conversation while walking. Walking doesn’t demand your brain’s active engagement to coordinate(协调) movement. Thus, focusing on a phone call with your mom while taking a walk does not pose an increased cognitive(认知的) demand. However, if you were to cross a busy street while talking, your brain would distract(转移) attention from the talk, which could potentially cause you to miss important points in the conversation. In conclusion, while multitasking may not be advantageous in every situation, there are specific contexts where it can be beneficial. For instance, activities like taking a walk while thinking over a problem can lead to insights and clarity. It is crucial and proper to assess the advantages and disadvantages of multitasking for yourself, and avoid juggling multiple tasks if they start to cause more stress or mistakes. 12. Which statement would the author agree with? A. Multitasking may be a misconception. B. Multitasking should be practiced regularly. C. Excellent mental exercises are meaningful. D. Multitasking is an absolute advantage in today’s world. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The key to multitasking. B. The cost of task-switching. C. A reasonable doubt on multitasking. D. A further explanation of multitasking. 14. How does the author state his viewpoint in Paragraph 4? A. By evaluating divided opinions. B. By offering some specific examples. C. By justifying the benefits of multitasking. D. By explaining the demands of different tasks. 15. What does the underlined word “juggling” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Inspecting. B. Assigning. C. Monitoring. D. Handling. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了多任务处理的利弊，指出虽然多任务处理在某些情况下可能有益，但往往被高估，且存在任务切换成本。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, while we take pride in our ability to tackle multiple tasks at the same time, we are likely to overestimate our multitasking capability.(然而，当我们为自己同时处理多项任务的能力感到自豪时，我们可能高估了自己的多任务处理能力。)”可知，作者认为多任务处理可能是一个误解。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Actually, when we switch between multiple tasks, we must pay a specific bill known as the task-switch cost. Multitasking damages the brain networks involved, leading to reduced performance accuracy (实际上，当我们在多个任务之间切换时，必须支付一种特定的“费用”，即任务切换成本。多任务处理会损害涉及的大脑网络，导致表现准确性下降。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是任务切换的成本。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“One example is having a phone conversation while walking.(一个例子是边走路边打电话。)”和“However, if you were to cross a busy street while talking, your brain would distract attention from the talk, which could potentially cause you to miss important points in the conversation.(然而，如果你在通话时穿过繁忙的街道，你的大脑会分散对谈话的注意力，这可能会导致你错过谈话中的重要内容。)”可知，作者通过提供一些具体的例子来陈述他的观点。故选B项。 【15题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文“It is crucial and proper to assess the advantages and disadvantages of multitasking for yourself,( 对自己评估多任务处理的利弊是至关重要的，也是恰当的)”可知，如果多任务处理开始导致更多的压力或错误，就应该避免处理多个任务。由此可推知，juggling意为“处理”与“handling”意思相近。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。 Developing artistic appreciation in teenagers is crucial for developing creativity, enhancing emotional intelligence, and broadening their perspectives. ____16____ It’s more than memorizing facts.

I have also had the privilege of shaping young minds and hearts, each with their own unique stories and challenges. One particular year, I encountered a student named Jim, whose family circumstances were awful. Every day, he would arrive with a simple sandwich wrapped in a piece of worn-out paper for lunch — a humble meal that obviously contrasted with the delicate lunches brought by other students. His backpack, old and worn at the edges, carried not just books but the weight of his family’s struggles. One of my colleagues, Sarah, a new teacher who had just graduated, shared the same concern for Jim. She made a proposal that we should help Jim somehow. Determined to make a difference, I, teaming up with Sarah, made a plan to incorporate (使融入) Jim more meaningfully into our classroom community. We began by “hiring” Jim for small tasks around the class or our school, such as helping to organize the library or assisting with classroom setups. In return, we paid him a modest “salary” from our own funds, careful to make it clear that this was not charity but recognition of his hard work and valuable contributions. We also took the time to instruct Jim, offering after-school teaching lessons to help him with his studies and providing encouragement and guidance for his future ambitions. Sarah and I made a conscious effort to create a supportive environment where Jim felt safe to express himself. We listened to his stories, acknowledged his struggles, and celebrated his successes, no matter how small. However, life took an unexpected turn. Two weeks later, I had to leave the school due to unforeseen circumstances. My heart was heavy with concern for Jim, especially about how Sarah, a young and possibly less experienced teacher would handle this situation. I worried about whether she would be able to continue the delicate balance of support and encouragement that we had carefully built. Moreover, Jim had become used to our regular guidance and the stability we provided. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking about all these, I couldn’t wait to give Sarah a call. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I revisited the school, I was amazed to see the transformation in Jim. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Thinking about all these, I couldn’t wait to give Sarah a call. With a heavy heart, I dialed Sarah’s number. My mind raced with questions and concerns, but as soon as she picked up, her calm voice reassured me. “Don’t worry,” she said softly. “I’ve been thinking about Jim a lot too.” And she promised to do her best to maintain the balance we had established. She added that she wouldn’t let me down. Her words were like comforting hands, easing my worried mind and filling me with a sense of hope. When I revisited the school, I was amazed to see the transformation in Jim. He was no longer the quiet, reserved student I once knew. He was actively participating in class discussions, sharing his ideas with enthusiasm. Sarah had not only continued the support but had also encouraged him to explore his passions and talents. Seeing Jim progress under Sarah’s guidance, I realized the true impact of sympathy and devotion in shaping a young life. It was a powerful reminder that even in the face of challenges, with the right trust, a young teacher can grow stronger and a child’s potential can also be developed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物情感和师生关系为线索展开，讲述了“我”和同事Sarah共同帮助家庭困难的学生Jim，后因“我”不得不离开学校而担忧Jim的情况，最终返回学校时看到Jim在Sarah帮助下发生积极转变的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“想到这一切，我迫不及待地给Sarah打了个电话。”可知，第一段可描写“我”打电话时的担忧情绪，与Sarah的对话内容，以及Sarah的承诺给“我”带来的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我再次访问学校时，我惊讶地看到Jim的变化。”可知，第二段可描写“我”看到的Jim在行为和性格上的转变，Sarah为帮助Jim所做的具体事情，以及这件事带来的感悟。 2续写线索：打电话担忧——Sarah承诺——返回学校——Jim转变——感悟影响 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打电话：dial number/ initiate a telephonic connection ②承诺：promise/pledge ③参与：participate in/be involved in 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/be concerned ②热情：enthusiasm/passion 【点睛】[高分句型1] My mind raced with questions and concerns, but as soon as she picked up, her calm voice reassured me.（使用as soon as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Her words were like comforting hands, easing my worried mind and filling me with a sense of hope.（使用现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 本试卷总分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三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。 1.

He’s come up with an idea for a soap (肥皂) that could help treat skin cancer, and he is already working with scientists to test his idea. Heman’s family came to America from Ethiopia when he was 4. He remembers seeing people there working in the sun without protecting their skin. From his parents he learned about the dangers of cancer, and how important it was for people to protect their skin from the sun. Heman kept all this in mind. As a curious boy, he started doing experiments. Later, he read about a medicine called “imiquimod” that can help fight skin cancer. Heman knew it’d be helpful to get imiquimod to people in the early stages of skin cancer. He thought a good way might be through soap. But Heman knew simply mixing imiquimod with soap wouldn’t work. The medicine would just wash away. Instead, he thought about creating a soap with the medicine inside super tiny “nanoparticles” (纳米粒子). These could stick to the skin and deliver the imiquimod after the soap washed off. Last year, when he was 14, Heman created a video explaining his idea, and used it to enter the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He finally came first, which came with a $25,000 prize. Heman is now working with scientist Vito Rebecca. His soap project is still at an early stage, but Heman has already made some soap. He and Dr. Rebecca are running tests. Heman is a very busy student, dividing his time between the lab and school. He plays the flute (长笛) in a music band. Outside of school, he enjoys playing basketball, reading, and playing chess. But Heman says he’s crazy about skin cancer research. “It feels great to think one day my soap will help save people’s life,” he told TIME. 4. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To show the changes in the family. B. To show how Heman’s parents taught him. C. To tell us what hard life the family used to live. D. To tell us why Heman wanted to make the soap. 5. How did Heman prevent the medicine washing away? A. By making the soap eatable. B. By doing different experiments. C. By putting them in nanoparticles. D. By mixing the medicine with some liquids. 6. What can we infer about Heman from the last paragraph? A. He really enjoys being famous. B. He leads an active and colorful life. C. His life is full of different pressure. D. His research takes up most of his time. 7. What lesson can we learn from this text? A. Never put today’s work till tomorrow. B. Leave professional problems to experts. C. Even children can also make a difference. D. Great inventions may be made by accident. C I’m a psychology researcher. Along with my instructor Thackery Brown and music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie, our recently published research uncovered interesting connections between music, emotion and memory. When you listen to music, it is not merely hearing engagement. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus, which is essential for storing and retrieving (读取) memories, works closely with the amygdala, the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional. While music’s ability to set off emotions and memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also change the emotional content of existing memories. Our theory was rooted in the concept of memory reactivation — the idea that when you recall a memory, it becomes temporarily changeable, allowing new information to be included. We then developed a three-day experiment. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral (中性的) stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. On the final day, we asked participants to recall the stories again, this time without any music. On the second day, we recorded their brain activity with FMRI scans, which measure brain activity. The results were striking. When participants listened to emotionally changed music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements into the story. Even more interesting were the brain scans. When participants recalled stories while listening to music, there was increased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus. This is why a song associated with a significant life event can be so powerful—it activates both emotion and memory-processing regions. Memories, much like your favorite songs, can be remixed and remastered by music. The music you listen to while looking back or even while going about your daily routines might be subtly (不易察觉地) shaping how you remember those experiences in the future, However, further research is needed to confirm whether our findings have significant effects on everyday life and medical practices. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Music is tied to emotion and memory. B. The author is enthusiastic about music. C. Listening to music makes the brain excited. D. Emotional music can influence our memory. 9. Why did the researchers choose emotionally neutral stories? A. They are easier to remember. B. Their details are hard to change. C. They are more common in our daily life. D. They make new emotional elements apparent. 10. What can be inferred form the last paragraph? A. Music may function as a means of curing. B. Details of our memories can be changed greatly. C. Only songs related to important life events can touch us. D. Their findings are short of strong and sufficient support. 11. What does this text mainly talk about? A. Listening to music helps improve our memory B. Ways to make our brain work more efficiently C. Music can change how we feel about the past D. There’s more potential to explore in music D In today’s fast-paced world, multitasking has become the norm, and often a requirement on job listings. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental exercises involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. However, while we take pride in our ability to tackle multiple tasks at the same time, we are likely to overestimate our multitasking capability. A study was conducted on individuals who engage in media multitasking such as using Facebook while watching TV, to assess whether multitasking enhanced productivity in specific tasks. The findings revealed that we often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. Actually, when we switch between multiple tasks, we must pay a specific bill known as the task-switch cost. Multitasking damages the brain networks involved, leading to reduced performance accuracy. We’re more likely to make errors when switching between tasks, as compared to when our focus remains locked on a single task, and completing the multi-tasks will take longer. While practice can enhance your multitasking abilities, it’s impossible to entirely avoid the costs of task-switching. Now, some tasks demand minimal active thinking and can be mastered without realizing you’re multitasking. One example is having a phone conversation while walking. Walking doesn’t demand your brain’s active engagement to coordinate(协调) movement. Thus, focusing on a phone call with your mom while taking a walk does not pose an increased cognitive(认知的) demand. However, if you were to cross a busy street while talking, your brain would distract(转移) attention from the talk, which could potentially cause you to miss important points in the conversation. In conclusion, while multitasking may not be advantageous in every situation, there are specific contexts where it can be beneficial. For instance, activities like taking a walk while thinking over a problem can lead to insights and clarity. It is crucial and proper to assess the advantages and disadvantages of multitasking for yourself, and avoid juggling multiple tasks if they start to cause more stress or mistakes. 12.

I have also had the privilege of shaping young minds and hearts, each with their own unique stories and challenges. One particular year, I encountered a student named Jim, whose family circumstances were awful. Every day, he would arrive with a simple sandwich wrapped in a piece of worn-out paper for lunch — a humble meal that obviously contrasted with the delicate lunches brought by other students. His backpack, old and worn at the edges, carried not just books but the weight of his family’s struggles. One of my colleagues, Sarah, a new teacher who had just graduated, shared the same concern for Jim. She made a proposal that we should help Jim somehow. Determined to make a difference, I, teaming up with Sarah, made a plan to incorporate (使融入) Jim more meaningfully into our classroom community. We began by “hiring” Jim for small tasks around the class or our school, such as helping to organize the library or assisting with classroom setups. In return, we paid him a modest “salary” from our own funds, careful to make it clear that this was not charity but recognition of his hard work and valuable contributions. We also took the time to instruct Jim, offering after-school teaching lessons to help him with his studies and providing encouragement and guidance for his future ambitions. Sarah and I made a conscious effort to create a supportive environment where Jim felt safe to express himself. We listened to his stories, acknowledged his struggles, and celebrated his successes, no matter how small. However, life took an unexpected turn. Two weeks later, I had to leave the school due to unforeseen circumstances. My heart was heavy with concern for Jim, especially about how Sarah, a young and possibly less experienced teacher would handle this situation. I worried about whether she would be able to continue the delicate balance of support and encouragement that we had carefully built. Moreover, Jim had become used to our regular guidance and the stability we provided. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking about all these, I couldn’t wait to give Sarah a call. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I revisited the school, I was amazed to see the transformation in Jim. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
