The simple, warm character is not quite a marionette (牵线木偶), nor a puppet (木偶). Instead, he’s a mix of the two, a “Muppet”. He and his colorful friends were created by the master puppeteer and filmmaker, Jim Henson. Now streaming on Disney Plus is Jim Henson: Idea Man, a heartwarming documentary (纪录片) about the man who changed children’s TV and educational media in the West, leaving an impressive mark on entertainment and society. As explained in the documentary, Henson never intended to be a master puppeteer. But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television. Henson had many ideas, not all of them successful. But the Muppet, created simply from an old coat, was there from the beginning. Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face. Henson had been making his Muppets and working in entertainment for years before his big break with the educational children’s show, Sesame Street (《芝麻街》), which first aired in 1969 and is still being made today. Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment. Voice actor Frank Oz, who worked with Henson on many of his projects, said of Henson in the documentary, “I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.” 4. Why did Jim Henson start using puppets? A. He was inspired by other puppeteers. B. He was always interested in puppetry. C. He found it a way to enter TV industry. D. He wanted to create a new type of puppet. 5. What is unique about the Muppet compared to traditional puppets? A. It is simple in design. B. It is created by a team. C. It is made from old silk. D. It is good at showing emotions. 6. What major impact did Sesame Street have on children’s TV? A. Colorful puppet characters were introduced. B. Education and moral values were brought. C. More fun and interest were created in Kids’ TV. D. The types of children’s programs were changed. 7. Frank Oz suggests that Jim Henson’s goal is to ______. A. compete with other puppeteers B. win awards for his puppetry skills C. educate and inspire people creatively D. make children laugh with silly jokes 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是关于Jim Henson的纪录片《吉姆·亨森：创意巨匠》的内容。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television.(但在大学上了木偶课后，他发现使用木偶可能是进入他梦想的行业——电视——的一种独特方式。)”可知，Jim Henson开始使用木偶是因为他发现这是进入电视行业的一种方式。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face.(与大多数木偶的简单性不同，布偶的薄布料让Henson能够在角色的脸上创造出各种表情。)”可知，与传统木偶相比，布偶的独特之处是它擅长表现情感。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment.(汉森认为，如果孩子们每周要花50个小时看电视，那么他们看的应该是有教育意义的。这有助于改变西方儿童节目的面貌，将教育和道德价值观置于家庭娱乐的前沿。)”可知，《芝麻街》对儿童电视的影响是带来了教育和道德价值观。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.(我认为Jim真正想做的是唱歌、讲故事、教育孩子、促进和平、拯救地球、颂扬人类，还有就是要有点傻气。)”可知，Frank Oz认为Jim Henson的目标是以创造性的方式教育和启发人们。故选C。 C We’ve all seen the picture of a student daydreaming out the window while the teacher talks. When students aren’t focused, they don’t learn well. Everybody knows the importance of attention for education, but we don’t always think about how attention really works. Of course, we’ve all heard of the rising diagnoses of ADD/ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍) (66% increase from 2000 to 2010!). Perhaps that fact is simply a growing popular awareness of the problem, and therefore more doctor visits for a diagnosis (诊断). But Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence and Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, hypothesizes that we’re recognizing it more because it’s becoming more of a problem, even for us adults. In his work Focus, Goleman memorably tells the story of a conversation with a doctor, who recounted how professionals are beginning to self-medicate for attentional issues. A possible cause for our crisis (危机) of attention in the modern world is our addiction to the new media and screen time. These devices are designed to grab our attention and change our habits, and the industry behind spends a lot of money on it, with an estimated budget of $6 trillion. And perhaps by the law of habit, the industry’s power — and our giving into it — is gradually turning us and our students into less focused people. There’s a long tradition of people thinking about how to improve attention. Charlotte Mason, a famous educator, often talked about it, but she wasn’t the first or the last. So in this book, Attention, Then and Now: The Science of Focus Before and After Charlotte Mason’s Time, we’re going to explore the practical recommendations for training the attention that Mason shared with a philosopher, John Locke, and an educator, John Milton Gregory. Then we will link up with modern cognitive psychology and neuroscience for how they support and confirm this tradition. This research will help us understand the science of attention and why their advice still works today. 8. What can be learned about ADD/ADHD from paragraph 2? A. It is only a childhood issue. B. Its diagnosis rate stopped rising in 2010. C. It is not regarded as a problem by doctors. D. Its diagnosis rises partly due to growing awareness. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Daniel Goleman’s work? A. To recommend reading his book. B. To introduce a well-known author. C. To stress the importance of education. D. To show the growing attentional issues. 10. What does the underlined word “grab” mean in paragraph 3? A. Catch. B. Lose. C. Improve. D. Change. 11. What is the book Attention Then and Now aimed at? A. Listing classic works on attention training practices. B. Discussing the impact of the new media on attention. C. Investigating ways to train attention based on science. D. Comparing the educational theories of different educators. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是注意力在教育中的重要性，以及现代社会中人们注意力面临的危机和原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Of course, we’ve all heard of the rising diagnoses of ADD/ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍) (66% increase from 2000 to 2010!). Perhaps that fact is simply a growing popular awareness of the problem, and therefore more doctor visits for a diagnosis (诊断).(当然，我们都听说过ADD/ADHD的诊断越来越多（从2000年到2010年增加了66%！）。也许这个事实仅仅是因为人们对这个问题的认识越来越普遍，因此越来越多的人去看医生进行诊断。)”可知，ADD/ADHD的诊断率上升的部分原因是人们越来越认识到这一点。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence and Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, hypothesizes that we’re recognizing it more because it’s becoming more of a problem, even for us adults. In his work Focus, Goleman memorably tells the story of a conversation with a doctor, who recounted how professionals are beginning to self-medicate for attentional issues.(但《情商》和《专注：卓越的隐藏驱动力》的作者Daniel Goleman假设，我们之所以更多地认识到这一问题，是因为它正日益成为一个严重的问题，甚至对我们成年人来说也是如此。在他的著作《专注》中，Goleman生动地讲述了他与一位医生的对话，这位医生讲述了专业人士如何开始自我治疗注意力问题。)”可知，Daniel Goleman认为我们之所以越来越意识到这个问题，是因为它正变得越来越严重，甚至影响到了我们成年人，随后提及书中的内容是为了引证他的观点，即注意力问题日益严峻。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“A possible cause for our crisis (危机) of attention in the modern world is our addiction to the new media and screen time.(现代世界注意力危机的一个可能原因是我们对新媒体和屏幕时间的沉迷。)”可知，我们对新媒体上瘾，由此可推知，电子设备被设计来吸引我们的注意力和改变我们的习惯，所以此处grab可理解为“吸引，抓住”，和catch意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“So in this book, Attention, Then and Now: The Science of Focus Before and After Charlotte Mason’s Time, we’re going to explore the practical recommendations for training the attention that Mason shared with a philosopher, John Locke, and an educator, John Milton Gregory. Then we will link up with modern cognitive psychology and neuroscience for how they support and confirm this tradition.(因此，在Attention, Then and Now: The Science of Focus Before and After Charlotte Mason’s Time这本书中，我们将探索Mason与哲学家John Locke和教育家John Milton Gregory分享的关于训练注意力的实用建议。然后，我们将与现代认知心理学和神经科学联系起来，看看它们是如何支持和证实这一传统的。)”可知，这本书的目的是调查基于科学的训练注意力的方法，故选C。 D Whether it is the childhood friend who had a baby or the thoughtful neighbor who moved away, many people can think of someone they care about but have lost touch with when they look at the contact list on their phones. Research from across the social sciences has consistently shown that social relationships are critical for mental and physical health. However, a paper published in Nature Communications Psychology, based on a series of studies conducted with more than 2,400 participants, discovered that people are surprisingly hesitant to initiate interactions to reconnect. There are various barriers to reaching out, many of which are identified similar to the ones that prevent people from talking to strangers. This similarity made researchers wonder whether the passage of time makes old friends feel like strangers. In one study, researchers asked 288 people how willing they were to engage in various everyday actions, including picking up garbage, booking a dentist appointment, and critically, talking to a stranger. Sure enough, people were no more willing to reach out to an old friend than the listed things. Researchers have also worked on an intervention shown to ease anxieties about conversing with strangers. We decided to adapt that approach to the case of reconnecting with old friends. So we asked some of our study participants to complete a three-minute warm-up exercise in which they sent messages to current friends and acquaintances. Meanwhile others-our control group-simply scrolled (滑动) through social media. Afterward every participant was encouraged to contact an old friend. Only about a third of people in the control group sent a message while about half the people in the warm-up group did so. That’s because practicing the behavior involved in reaching out to others reminded people of how simple it is to send a message and how enjoyable it can be to connect. Social relationships are a key source of happiness. Reaching out to old friends is easier after warming up, which benefits mentally and physically. So people could go through the contact list on their phones and message a few folks they talk to often-and then find someone they haven’t spoken to in a while and have been missing and try to get hold of them, too. 12. What is the benefit of reconnecting an old friend? A. Interactions are initiated. B. The passage of time is narrowed. C. Social relations are enlarged. D. Overall well-being is improved. 13. Why are people hesitant to reach out to an old friend? A. They were more willing to talk to a stranger. B. They need to adapt some approaches to reconnecting. C. They prefer to send messages to some acquaintances. D. They feel distanced from someone out of contact for long. 14. What could we do to intervene when reconnecting with old friends? A. Scroll through social media. B. Text current friends. C. Talk to a stranger. D. Complete an exercise in the gym. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Warm up to get in touch with old friends B. Do not leave old friends familiar strangers C. Connect and enjoy personalized social relationships D. Stay in contact with old friends and find source of happiness 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述人们重新联系老朋友时会感到犹豫，研究表明给最近的朋友熟人发信息后，和老朋友破冰更容易，这对精神和身体都有益。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句话“Research from across the social sciences has consistently shown that social relationships are critical for mental and physical health.(社会科学领域的研究一致表明，社会关系对身心健康至关重要)”和最后一段的第一句话“Social relationships are a key source of happiness.(社会关系是幸福的重要来源)”可知，和旧友新建立联系可助益身心健康。干扰项C中，因为是旧友，所以enlarge这个说法不对。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This similarity made researchers wonder whether the passage of time makes old friends feel like strangers.(这种相似性让研究人员怀疑，时间的流逝是否会让老朋友觉得自己像陌生人)”可知，人们联系老朋友时感到犹豫是因为他们会觉得与长期失去联系的人疏远，其他干扰项也在细微处有差别，如A选项中，和旧友建立联系与陌生人说话应当是优先级相同。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Only about a third of people in the control group sent a message while about half the people in the warm-up group did so. That’s because practicing the behavior involved in reaching out to others reminded people of how simple it is to send a message and how enjoyable it can be to connect.(对照组中只有约三分之一的人发了信息，而热身组中约有一半的人发了信息。这是因为练习与他人联系的行为提醒人们发送信息是多么简单，联系是多么愉快)”可知，文中the behavior就是指先和最近的朋友或者熟人互动发送消息做热身，以便于不联系旧友之间破冰。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段“Social relationships are a key source of happiness. Reaching out to old friends is easier after warming up, which benefits mentally and physically. So people could go through the contact list on their phones and message a few folks they talk to often-and then find someone they haven’t spoken to in a while and have been missing and try to get hold of them, too.(社会关系是幸福的重要来源。热身后更容易联系老朋友，这对身心都有好处。因此，人们可以浏览手机上的联系人列表，给几个经常联系的人发信息，然后找到一个他们有一段时间没有联系的人，也可以试着联系他们)”可知，最后两段的信息都指向答案A。给最近的朋友熟人发信息后，和老朋友破冰更容易，这对精神和身体都有益。A项“热身和老朋友联系”最适合作为标题。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why an Early Start Is the ‘Quintessence of Life’ Research published in the journal Emotion shows that early risers enjoy a more positive mood and better emotional regulation than those who wake up late The benefits of getting up early are clear. ____16____. Here are a few things to keep in mind: This morning started last night. Early rising is really the second part of two habits: ____17____. This probably seems like the easier habit to keep, but for many people it isn’t. For many young adults, the problem is what psychologists call “revenge bedtime procrastination” (报复性熬夜). Or they simply find it hard to turn off their mental machine. For this issue, a consistent bedtime routine and reducing screen time-can help to earlier sleep. ____18____. One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren’t required to do so. When there is no penalty for oversleeping, it is all too easy to hit the snooze button and continue sleeping. Setting a fixed morning commitment, like a workout or an early class, increases the “cost” of staying in bed. Even a trivial task immediately after the alarm can discourage further sleep, gradually transforming a habitual night owl into an early riser. Make early rising divine (神圣的). Many religions use the time before dawn for prayer and worship (崇拜), believing the quiet morning brings peace and clear thoughts. ____19____. By rising early, you welcome a new day full of energy and hope. This practice not only helps us start the day with a positive spirit but also prepares us to face challenges with calm and strength. For the early risers among us, this means a before dawn routine will start to become a true part of your life by the end of January; for the late sleepers, it could take until sometime in September. It felt pretty bad to leave our warm bed when it was still dark. ____20____. A. Raise the cost of not getting up B. Lower the difficulty of getting up C. The first part is going to bed early enough that you get sufficient (足够的) sleep. D. Even those who do not believe can enjoy these special hours. E. But it was worth it: the early morning time is now the best time of a day. F. Quality sleep depends on avoiding late-night snacks and exercise. G. But what do you need to do to succeed in your resolution and develop this habit? 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了养成早起习惯的一些建议。 【16题详解】 上文“The benefits of getting up early are clear.(早起的好处是显而易见的)”提到早起的好处是显而易见的，结合下文“Here are a few things to keep in mind(以下是一些需要记住的事情)”可知，空处需过渡到具体行动建议，G项“但是你需要做些什么来成功实现你的决心并养成这个习惯呢？”以问句引出下文，符合逻辑，故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“Early rising is really the second part of two habits(早起其实是两种习惯的第二部分)”强调早起是两种习惯中的第二部分，空处需补充第一部分（早睡），C项“第一部分是早睡，保证充足的睡眠”直接点明“早睡”是前提，与下文“For many young adults, the problem is what psychologists call ‘revenge bedtime procrastination’ (报复性熬夜).(对于许多年轻人来说，这个问题就是心理学家所说的‘报复性睡前拖延症’)”提到的“报复性熬夜”问题呼应，故选C。 【18题详解】 下文“One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren’t required to do so. When there is no penalty for oversleeping, it is all too easy to hit the snooze button and continue sleeping. Setting a fixed morning commitment, like a workout or an early class, increases the “cost” of staying in bed.(人们难以早起的一个原因是他们没有被要求这样做。当睡过头没有惩罚时，就很容易按下贪睡按钮继续睡觉。设定一个固定的早晨承诺，比如锻炼或早班，会增加待在床上的‘成本’)”可知，本段的核心是通过增加赖床的“成本”促使人早起（如设定晨间任务），A项“提高不起床的成本”精准概括这一策略，与下文“设定固定晨间任务”内容一致，故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Many religions use the time before dawn for prayer and worship (崇拜), believing the quiet morning brings peace and clear thoughts.(许多宗教利用黎明前的时间进行祈祷和崇拜，相信安静的早晨会带来平静和清晰的思想)”提到宗教利用清晨祈祷，下文需衔接“非信徒也能享受清晨时光”，D项“即使那些不相信的人也可以享受这些特殊的时间”中的“Even those who do not believe”自然过渡到普适性价值，故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“It felt pretty bad to leave our warm bed when it was still dark.(天还没亮就离开温暖的被窝感觉很不好)”提到早起很难，空处位于结尾，需总结早起虽难但值得，E项“但这是值得的：现在清晨是一天中最好的时间”通过转折，强调早起后的收获，呼应主题，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (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，从题中所给A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, I accompanied a group of middle school students on a tour of England. I ____21____ along my 8-year-old daughter, Chamber. One evening, near the end of the ____22____, my daughter, the school group and I were on a platform in the London Underground. Just then, a train ____23____ to the platform. Suddenly, Chamber let go of my hand, jumped on the train, and the doors began to ____24____. On the other side of the glass, I could see my daughter’s ____25____ face.

Behind her, a bearded man dressed in black leather with a spiked (带钉) dog collar around his neck rose from his seat and started ____26____ to Chamber. In my opinion, such a person was by no means a good person. Thinking about this, I felt everything went ____27____ before my eyes. After what seemed centuries, suddenly one of my students appeared at my ____28____, saying, “She’s back.” I turned and there was my little girl. Beside her stood the bearded man. Immediately, my previous idea that he was ____29____ was destroyed. He _____30_____ in silence without leaving a word as I hugged my daughter and cried. It brought tears to my eyes to think how things could have turned out _____31_____. So I set out on a journey to _____32_____ my unsung hero. I posted, “...

My cousin and I would drive to a national forest to hunt for whitetail deer. We would have to return to finish much housework before 5 p. m, when my father came back from work. On one such hunt we went down a track and split up. He went down one ridge (山脊) while I went down a nearby ridge. We were both quietly following deer rather than setting up in deer stands. Shortly after leaving one another, I came across a well-used deer track that had fresh tracks on it leading a particular direction. It was there that I had my direction of travel and beaded out cross-country to track and find these deer. After about an hour of following through the woods, I could faintly make some deer out about 100 yards in front of me in some large trees. I continued to follow and make my way to them. It was early and these deer were on their way to a bedding site and were constantly on the move. This required some great following skills on my part. I was slowly, but surely, closing the time and distance gap between them and myself. When I got within forty yards of them, I knew I was getting close enough to them that I was going to get a good shot on one. They turned around the end of a ridgeline and went out of sight due to a large rock. This gave me the opportunity to close the gap quickly as I could move without alerting (使警觉) them as long as I stayed quiet. That was exactly what I did. When I came around the rock the deer were well within range and I pulled up to take a shot, but was surprised by a deer much closer that I had not seen. That deer alerted the others and took of running, which caused the other deer to do the same. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: When the deer had disappeared, I realized I had housework to do before my dad returned home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After what felt like a lifetime of running and many falls on the ground, I fell down nearly exhausted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 When the deer had disappeared, I realized I had housework to do before my dad returned home. My heart raced as I checked my watch and it was ten past four. I turned back, but the forest seemed unfamiliar. A narrow stream cut through my path, its icy water making my boots wet. Climbing up the landslide, branches cut my arm, and my jacket caught on them. When I finally freed myself, I accidentally walked into a muddy patch, sinking to my knees. Long shadows cover the ground as I saw a distant trail, but my legs trembled with exhaustion. Paragraph 2 After what felt like a lifetime of running and many falls on the ground, I fell down nearly exhausted. I breathed heavily as I lay down in the dirt. Then I noticed yellow light from our house through the trees. Trying my best, I moved slowly and held onto a tree to stand up. Walking unsteadily into the yard, I saw Dad walking back and forth near the door. “You’re twenty minutes late,” he said in a strict voice, but his look became gentler when seeing my dirty clothes. “I... I lost my way following deer,” I said quietly. He took a deep breath, “The wood is cut and the floor is tidy.” He put his hand on my shoulder. “Next time,” he continued, “know that time passes faster than deer move.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。13岁时，作者和表哥去国家森林猎白尾鹿。两人分头行动，作者追踪新鲜鹿道，经一小时跟随接近鹿群，在即将射击时被一只未察觉的鹿惊动导致鹿群逃散。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当鹿消失后，我意识到在我爸爸回家之前我还有家务要做。”可知，第一段可以描写作者意识到时间紧迫的心理活动和回家的艰难过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“经过仿佛一生的奔跑和多次摔倒后，我几乎筋疲力尽地倒下了。”可知，第二段可以描写作者在极度疲惫中看到家中的灯光，努力站起来并艰难地走向家门的过程。接着描写作者。 2.续写线索：意识到时间紧迫——迷失方向——身体受伤与疲惫——看筋疲力尽倒下——看到家中灯光——艰难起身走向家门——爸爸的严厉与态度转变——作者的解释与爸爸的教诲 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 转身返回：turn back/head back/turn around to go back ② 爬上滑坡：climb up the landslide/scramble up the landslide ③抓住树：hold onto a tree/clutch a tree/grab a tree 情绪类 ① 心跳加速：heart races/heart pounds ② 疲惫：exhaustion/tiredness/weariness 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I finally freed myself, I accidentally walked into a muddy patch, sinking to my knees.

B In The Muppet Movie, 1979, a frog sits on a log playing the banjo and singing about rainbows. The simple, warm character is not quite a marionette (牵线木偶), nor a puppet (木偶). Instead, he’s a mix of the two, a “Muppet”. He and his colorful friends were created by the master puppeteer and filmmaker, Jim Henson. Now streaming on Disney Plus is Jim Henson: Idea Man, a heartwarming documentary (纪录片) about the man who changed children’s TV and educational media in the West, leaving an impressive mark on entertainment and society. As explained in the documentary, Henson never intended to be a master puppeteer. But after taking puppetry classes at university, he found that using puppets could be a unique way to make it into his dream industry — television. Henson had many ideas, not all of them successful. But the Muppet, created simply from an old coat, was there from the beginning. Different from most puppets in its simplicity, the thin fabric of the Muppet allowed Henson to create all kinds of emotions in the character’s face. Henson had been making his Muppets and working in entertainment for years before his big break with the educational children’s show, Sesame Street (《芝麻街》), which first aired in 1969 and is still being made today. Henson thought, if kids are going to spend 50 hours a week watching TV, then what they watch should be educational. This helped change the face of children’s programming in the West, putting education and moral values at the forefront of family entertainment. Voice actor Frank Oz, who worked with Henson on many of his projects, said of Henson in the documentary, “I think what Jim really wanted to do was to sing songs and tell stories, teach children, promote peace, save the planet, celebrate man and be silly.” 4. Why did Jim Henson start using puppets? A. He was inspired by other puppeteers. B. He was always interested in puppetry. C. He found it a way to enter TV industry. D. He wanted to create a new type of puppet. 5. What is unique about the Muppet compared to traditional puppets? A. It is simple in design. B. It is created by a team. C. It is made from old silk. D. It is good at showing emotions. 6. What major impact did Sesame Street have on children’s TV? A. Colorful puppet characters were introduced. B. Education and moral values were brought. C. More fun and interest were created in Kids’ TV. D. The types of children’s programs were changed. 7. Frank Oz suggests that Jim Henson’s goal is to ______. A. compete with other puppeteers B. win awards for his puppetry skills C. educate and inspire people creatively D. make children laugh with silly jokes C We’ve all seen the picture of a student daydreaming out the window while the teacher talks. When students aren’t focused, they don’t learn well. Everybody knows the importance of attention for education, but we don’t always think about how attention really works. Of course, we’ve all heard of the rising diagnoses of ADD/ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍) (66% increase from 2000 to 2010!). Perhaps that fact is simply a growing popular awareness of the problem, and therefore more doctor visits for a diagnosis (诊断). But Daniel Goleman, the author of Emotional Intelligence and Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, hypothesizes that we’re recognizing it more because it’s becoming more of a problem, even for us adults. In his work Focus, Goleman memorably tells the story of a conversation with a doctor, who recounted how professionals are beginning to self-medicate for attentional issues. A possible cause for our crisis (危机) of attention in the modern world is our addiction to the new media and screen time. These devices are designed to grab our attention and change our habits, and the industry behind spends a lot of money on it, with an estimated budget of $6 trillion. And perhaps by the law of habit, the industry’s power — and our giving into it — is gradually turning us and our students into less focused people. There’s a long tradition of people thinking about how to improve attention. Charlotte Mason, a famous educator, often talked about it, but she wasn’t the first or the last. So in this book, Attention, Then and Now: The Science of Focus Before and After Charlotte Mason’s Time, we’re going to explore the practical recommendations for training the attention that Mason shared with a philosopher, John Locke, and an educator, John Milton Gregory. Then we will link up with modern cognitive psychology and neuroscience for how they support and confirm this tradition. This research will help us understand the science of attention and why their advice still works today. 8. What can be learned about ADD/ADHD from paragraph 2? A. It is only a childhood issue. B. Its diagnosis rate stopped rising in 2010. C. It is not regarded as a problem by doctors. D. Its diagnosis rises partly due to growing awareness. 9. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Daniel Goleman’s work? A To recommend reading his book. B. To introduce a well-known author. C. To stress the importance of education. D. To show the growing attentional issues. 10. What does the underlined word “grab” mean in paragraph 3? A. Catch. B. Lose. C. Improve. D. Change. 11. What is the book Attention, Then and Now aimed at?

Comparing the educational theories of different educators. D Whether it is the childhood friend who had a baby or the thoughtful neighbor who moved away, many people can think of someone they care about but have lost touch with when they look at the contact list on their phones. Research from across the social sciences has consistently shown that social relationships are critical for mental and physical health. However, a paper published in Nature Communications Psychology, based on a series of studies conducted with more than 2,400 participants, discovered that people are surprisingly hesitant to initiate interactions to reconnect. There are various barriers to reaching out, many of which are identified similar to the ones that prevent people from talking to strangers. This similarity made researchers wonder whether the passage of time makes old friends feel like strangers. In one study, researchers asked 288 people how willing they were to engage in various everyday actions, including picking up garbage, booking a dentist appointment, and critically, talking to a stranger. Sure enough, people were no more willing to reach out to an old friend than the listed things. Researchers have also worked on an intervention shown to ease anxieties about conversing with strangers. We decided to adapt that approach to the case of reconnecting with old friends. So we asked some of our study participants to complete a three-minute warm-up exercise in which they sent messages to current friends and acquaintances. Meanwhile others-our control group-simply scrolled (滑动) through social media. Afterward every participant was encouraged to contact an old friend. Only about a third of people in the control group sent a message while about half the people in the warm-up group did so. That’s because practicing the behavior involved in reaching out to others reminded people of how simple it is to send a message and how enjoyable it can be to connect. Social relationships are a key source of happiness. Reaching out to old friends is easier after warming up, which benefits mentally and physically. So people could go through the contact list on their phones and message a few folks they talk to often-and then find someone they haven’t spoken to in a while and have been missing and try to get hold of them, too. 12. What is the benefit of reconnecting an old friend? A. Interactions are initiated. B. The passage of time is narrowed. C. Social relations are enlarged. D. Overall well-being is improved. 13. Why are people hesitant to reach out to an old friend? A. They were more willing to talk to a stranger. B. They need to adapt some approaches to reconnecting. C. They prefer to send messages to some acquaintances. D. They feel distanced from someone out of contact for long. 14. What could we do to intervene when reconnecting with old friends? A. Scroll through social media. B. Text current friends. C. Talk to a stranger. D. Complete an exercise in the gym. 15 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Warm up to get in touch with old friends B. Do not leave old friends familiar strangers C. Connect and enjoy personalized social relationships D. Stay in contact with old friends and find source of happiness 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why an Early Start Is the ‘Quintessence of Life’ Research published in the journal Emotion shows that early risers enjoy a more positive mood and better emotional regulation than those who wake up late. The benefits of getting up early are clear. ____16____. Here are a few things to keep in mind: This morning started last night. Early rising is really the second part of two habits: ____17____. This probably seems like the easier habit to keep, but for many people it isn’t. For many young adults, the problem is what psychologists call “revenge bedtime procrastination” (报复性熬夜). Or they simply find it hard to turn off their mental machine. For this issue, a consistent bedtime routine and reducing screen time-can help to earlier sleep. ____18____. One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren’t required to do so. When there is no penalty for oversleeping, it is all too easy to hit the snooze button and continue sleeping. Setting a fixed morning commitment, like a workout or an early class, increases the “cost” of staying in bed. Even a trivial task immediately after the alarm can discourage further sleep, gradually transforming a habitual night owl into an early riser. Make early rising divine (神圣的). Many religions use the time before dawn for prayer and worship (崇拜), believing the quiet morning brings peace and clear thoughts. ____19____. By rising early, you welcome a new day full of energy and hope. This practice not only helps us start the day with a positive spirit but also prepares us to face challenges with calm and strength. For the early risers among us, this means a before dawn routine will start to become a true part of your life by the end of January; for the late sleepers, it could take until sometime in September. It felt pretty bad to leave our warm bed when it was still dark. ____20____. A. Raise the cost of not getting up B. Lower the difficulty of getting up C. The first part is going to bed early enough that you get sufficient (足够的) sleep. D. Even those who do not believe can enjoy these special hours. E. But it was worth it: the early morning time is now the best time of a day. F. Quality sleep depends on avoiding late-night snacks and exercise. G. But what do you need to do to succeed in your resolution and develop this habit? 第三部分 语言运用 (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，从题中所给A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, I accompanied a group of middle school students on a tour of England.

My cousin and I would drive to a national forest to hunt for whitetail deer. We would have to return to finish much housework before 5 p. m, when my father came back from work. On one such hunt we went down a track and split up. He went down one ridge (山脊) while I went down a nearby ridge. We were both quietly following deer rather than setting up in deer stands. Shortly after leaving one another, I came across a well-used deer track that had fresh tracks on it leading a particular direction. It was there that I had my direction of travel and beaded out cross-country to track and find these deer. After about an hour of following through the woods, I could faintly make some deer out about 100 yards in front of me in some large trees. I continued to follow and make my way to them. It was early and these deer were on their way to a bedding site and were constantly on the move. This required some great following skills on my part. I was slowly, but surely, closing the time and distance gap between them and myself. When I got within forty yards of them, I knew I was getting close enough to them that I was going to get a good shot on one. They turned around the end of a ridgeline and went out of sight due to a large rock. This gave me the opportunity to close the gap quickly as I could move without alerting (使警觉) them as long as I stayed quiet. That was exactly what I did. When I came around the rock the deer were well within range and I pulled up to take a shot, but was surprised by a deer much closer that I had not seen. That deer alerted the others and took of running, which caused the other deer to do the same. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: When the deer had disappeared, I realized I had housework to do before my dad returned home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After what felt like a lifetime of running and many falls on the ground, I fell down nearly exhausted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
