Today, it is a historic yet lively town,(Skagway因100多年前在克朗代克淘金热中的角色而闻名。如今，它仍然是一个历史感浓厚且充满活力的小镇)”可知，该地历史感浓厚，具有浓厚的历史氛围。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据DATES / PRICES部分）“Not included: personal items, airfare to and from Juneau.(不包括个人物品、往返Juneau的机票)”可知，机票需要额外支付，其他选项如交通、导游和冰川湾航行均包含在费用中。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Nothing brings to mind Alaska like a whale jumping out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river. Combine these images with high mountains, and wonderful meals, and you really do have the Best of Alaska!(没有什么比鲸鱼跳出水面或鹰从河里抓银鱼更能让人想起阿拉斯加了。把这些照片与高山和美味的饭菜结合起来，你真的可以品尝到阿拉斯加最好的食物！)”及亮点描述（Juneau的文化、Skagway的历史、Haines和Gustavus的自然美）可推知，广告整体突出阿拉斯加的文化、历史和自然美景。故选D。 B A Dutch museum has recovered an artwork that looks like two empty beer cans after a staff member accidentally threw it in the rubbish bin. The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin. The curator (馆长) Elisah van den Bergh returned from a short break and noticed the cans had disappeared. She recovered them from a bin bag just as they were about to be thrown out. Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift. “We try to surprise visitors for all the time,” she said. “We have now put the work in a more traditional place on a plinth (底座) so it can rest after its adventure.” She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic, who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties. Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. “By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,” he added. Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next. 4. Why did the mechanic throw the artwork in the rubbish bin? A. Because it stood in the way. B. Because it took much space. C. Because it looked like real trash. D. Because it looked strange in the lift. 5. What was Budding’s attitude toward the mechanic’s behavior? A. Understanding. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Unforgiving. 6. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make visitors ready for surprises. B. Remind visitors of dangers. C. Warn visitors not to litter. D. Show visitors around the museum. 7. What might happen to the artwork in the future? A. It will be kept in a safe. B. It will be put in a selected place. C. It will be sent back to the lift. D. It will be placed in a traditional setting. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述荷兰某博物馆一件形似两个空啤酒罐的艺术品被误当垃圾丢弃，后经找回并重新考虑其展示位置的故事。同时介绍了博物馆在艺术品展示方面的理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin.(这件由法国艺术家亚历山大・拉韦（Alexandre Lavet）创作、名为《我们一起度过的美好时光》的作品，乍一看像是两个被丢弃且瘪了的啤酒罐。然而，仔细观察就会发现，它们是精心手绘而成的，创作过程耗费了大量的时间和精力。但一名机械师却没有意识到它们的艺术价值，他看到这些作品在电梯里展出，便把它们扔进了垃圾桶)”可知，法国艺术家 Alexandre Lavet 的这件作品乍一看像是两个被遗弃且瘪掉的啤酒罐，机械师没有意识到其艺术价值，所以把它当作垃圾扔掉了。也就是说，机械师把艺术品扔进垃圾桶是因为它看起来像真正的垃圾。故选 C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift.(来自荷兰西部利斯镇拉穆博物馆（LAM museum）的弗鲁克耶・巴丁（Froukje Budding）表示，艺术品常常被放置在不寻常的地方 —— 这就是它被放在电梯里展出的原因。)”和本段“She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic, who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties. (她（Froukje Budding）强调，她对这位刚到博物馆工作的机械师没有不满情绪，还表示他只是在履行自己的工作职责)”可知，Budding 强调对刚到博物馆工作的机械师没有不满情绪，并且表示他只是在履行自己的工作职责，即他看到这些作品在电梯里展出，便把它们扔进了垃圾桶（见小题1详解）。由此可以推断出，Budding 对机械师的行为持理解的态度。故选 A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. ‘By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,’ he added.(博物馆馆长西茨克・范赞滕（Sietske van Zanten）强调了博物馆的使命，即鼓励游客以新的视角看待日常物品。“通过在意想不到的地方展示艺术品，我们增强了这种体验，并让游客保持警觉，”他补充道)”可知，博物馆馆长 Sietske van Zanten 强调博物馆的使命是鼓励游客以新的视角看待日常物品，通过在意想不到的地方展示艺术品来增强这种体验。“keep visitors on their toes”所在句子与前文提到的“displaying artworks in unexpected places(在意想不到的地方展示艺术品)”相呼应，结合语境可知，该短语意思是让游客为可能出现的惊喜做好准备，时刻保持期待和警觉。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next(巴丁（Budding）还指出，这些啤酒罐不太可能长时间放在传统的底座上，而且他们需要认真思考接下来把它们放置在一个合适的地方)”可知，Budding 指出这些啤酒罐不太可能长时间放在传统的底座上，并且他们需要认真思考接下来把它们放置在一个合适的地方。由此可以推断出，这件艺术品未来可能会被放置在一个经过精心挑选的地方。故选B项。 C Most of us are aware of “Is the glass half full or half empty?” test. If you pick the former, you’re an “optimist”; otherwise, you’re a “pessimist”. It’s not a black-or-white test, but it can measure how one sees life. According to psychologist Lissy Ann Puno, most of us grow up wanting to be an optimist-a person who can see the good in any situation and can stay hopeful when facing challenges. For some people, though, life happens and they start to see the glass half-empty instead. Pessimists tend to see the wrong in every situation, and blame external factors and circumstances when things aren’t going their way. Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything. For some, the shift becomes easier,being raised by pessimistic parents. Others still remain optimistic, thanks to a positive household growing up. “This is why developing optimism in young children is significant for their development as adults,” said Lissy Ann. If adopted at an early age, this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life’s circumstances with confidence, courage, and hope. What parent wouldn’t want that for their children? “Children are seen as natural optimists,” Lissy Ann said. They come into this world with unbiased (无偏见的) eyes and a pure heart that hasn’t been influenced by social expectations, life experiences, severe mental shock, or authority figures yet. Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic and part environmental. “Childhood experiences, parent-child connection, or authority figures will all have some influence,” she said. Although optimism (or the lack of it) could be passed down genetically, it can also be taught. 8. What attitude do the people of “the half-empty glass” hold? A. Focusing more on the negative aspect. B. Holding onto hope in every challenge. C. Considering different reasons for situations. D. Measuring life based on social expectations. 9. What is mainly discussed about the shift into pessimists in Paragraph 3? A. Possible causes. B. Proper treatments. C. Obvious signs. D. Common misunderstandings. 10. Why is it important for children to be optimistic? A. It guarantees them a trouble-free life. B. It enables them to be incomparable in career. C. It makes them mentally strong in adulthood. D. It helps them meet their parents’ expectations. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Children master interpersonal skills naturally. B. Genetic factors decide how children see life. C. Optimism strengthens parent-child connection. D. Proper guidance helps raise optimistic children. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了每个人都想成为一个乐观主义者，但是生活有时会让人悲观，所以培养幼儿的乐观情绪对他们成年后的发展很重要。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Most of us are aware of “Is the glass half full or half empty? ” test. If you pick the former, you’re an “optimist”; otherwise, you’re a “pessimist”.(我们大多数人都知道“杯子是半满的还是半空的?”测试。如果你选择前者，你是一个“乐观主义者”；否则，你就是一个“悲观主义者”)”可知，“半空杯子”的人是悲观主义者，所以他们更多地关注消极方面。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything. For some, the shift becomes easier,being raised by pessimistic parents. Others still remain optimistic, thanks to a positive household growing up.(不断听到坏消息和失望会把乐观的孩子变成对几乎所有事情都持批评态度的成年人。对于一些人来说，转变变得更容易，因为他们是由悲观的父母抚养长大的。其他人仍然保持乐观，这要归功于一个积极的家庭成长环境)”可知，本段主要讨论了转变为悲观主义者可能的原因。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““This is why developing optimism in young children is significant for their development as adults,” said Lissy Ann. If adopted at an early age, this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life’s circumstances with confidence, courage, and hope.(“这就是为什么培养幼儿的乐观情绪对他们成年后的发展很重要，”利西·安说。如果及早采用，这种强大的个性品质可以帮助孩子成长为坚强的成年人，能够充满信心、勇气和希望地处理生活中的各种情况)”可推知，培养幼儿的乐观情绪使他们在成年后精神强大。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Children are seen as natural optimists,” Lissy Ann said. They come into this world with unbiased (无偏见的) eyes and a pure heart that hasn’t been influenced by social expectations, life experiences, severe mental shock, or authority figures yet. Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic and part environmental. “Childhood experiences, parent-child connection, or authority figures will all have some influence,” she said. Although optimism (or the lack of it) could be passed down genetically, it can also be taught.(“孩子们被视为天生的乐观主义者，”利西·安说。他们带着不带偏见的眼睛和一颗纯洁的心来到这个世界，还没有受到社会期望、生活经历、严重的精神冲击或权威人物的影响。一个孩子长大后是否乐观，一部分是遗传的，一部分是环境的。她说：“童年经历、亲子关系或权威人物都会有一定的影响。”虽然乐观(或缺乏乐观)可以遗传，但它也可以被教导)”可推知，适当的引导有助于培养乐观的孩子。故选D项。 D Sensory-based food education given to 3-5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children in hands-on sessions, they can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities for growing their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games. “There are several different ways to do this. However, it always starts from sensory-based learning and child engagement. Doing and experiencing things together is also an important aspect,” says Kaisa Kähkönen, a researcher and nutritionist from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items. The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose mothers have a lower educational background. On average, children of lower educated parents tend to eat less vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out dietary gap between families. “Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encouraged children who were picky eaters to choose a more diverse selection on their plate,” Kähkönen explains. Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial for health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood. 12. What can we know about the Sapere method? A. It improves kids’ five senses. B. It enables kids to read more books. C. It supplies various healthy food to kids. D. It involves kids in active food-related activities. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The research purpose. B. The research process. C. The research findings. D. The research evaluation. 14. What does the underlined part “even out” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Narrow. B. Identify. C. Analyze. D. Examine. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. Benefits of eating fruit and vegetables B. Differences in family dietary preferences C. Necessity for kids to form learning habits D. New method to promote kids’ healthy eating 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芬兰研究发现，针对3-5岁幼儿的感官食物教育能提升其选择蔬果意愿，Sapere方法通过实践活动与五感学习有效促进健康饮食习惯的形成，有利于缩小家庭间饮食差异，特别帮助教育背景较低家庭的孩子。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children in hands-on sessions, they can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities for growing their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games.(例如，幼儿园可以在实践课程中向孩子们介绍不同的蔬菜和水果，让孩子们参与烘焙和烹饪，并为孩子们提供在幼儿园后院种植自己蔬菜的机会。与食物相关的主题也可以包含在书籍和游戏中)”可知，Sapere方法让孩子们积极参与与食物相关的活动中。故选D。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items.(研究人员比较了不同幼儿园组的孩子。一些人接受了基于感官的食物教育，而另一些人则没有。为孩子们提供了一份包含不同蔬菜和水果的自助餐，研究人员对他们的盘子拍照，分析他们选择和食用这些食物的意愿)”可知，本段详细介绍了研究的具体操作过程，包括将孩子分成不同组别，研究人员提供包含各种蔬菜和水果的自助餐，然后通过拍摄孩子们盘中的食物来分析他们选择和食用这些食物的意愿。所以本段主要介绍了研究的实施步骤。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose mothers have a lower educational background. On average, children of lower educated parents tend to eat less vegetables and fruit. (研究结果表明，基于感官的食物教育提高了儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿，尤其是在母亲教育背景较低的儿童中)”可知，食物教育在提高了儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿起着重要的作用。所以幼儿园的食物教育可以帮助缩小不同家庭间孩子在饮食习惯上的差异。所以even out的意思为“缩小”。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sensory-based food education given to 3-5 year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland.(东芬兰大学的一项新研究表明，在幼儿园对3-5岁的儿童进行基于感官的食物教育，可以提高他们选择蔬菜和水果的意愿)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，即通过感官为基础的食物教育方法（Sapere方法）来提高学龄前儿童选择蔬菜和水果的意愿，从而促进他们的健康饮食习惯。文章内容围绕这一教育方法的实施、效果及其对孩子饮食选择的正面影响展开。所以“一种促进孩子健康饮食的新方法”适合作本文的标题。故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to boost your sense of self-worth Self-esteem is a key factor when it comes to your mental and physical health. ___16___ If you find that your self-esteem is decreasing a little, there are plenty of ways to build it back up again.

Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money?” he thought. Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad. “This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry (参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought. Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt. 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。 Suddenly he had an idea. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jim handed his present to his mom. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly he had an idea. He rushed back to his desk and pulled out the piece of paper he had written about his mom for the contest. His words painted a clear picture of her love! Why not make that his gift? He carefully copied his description onto a fresh, nicer piece of paper. Then, remembering how much his mom loved the bedtime stories, he decided to illustrate it. He drew little pictures beside each special thing he had written. It wasn’t bought with money, but it was filled with his true feelings and memories. The next morning, Jim handed his present to his mom. “Happy Mother’s Day!” he said, a little nervous. His mom unfolded the paper and began to read. As her eyes moved over his words and drawings, a soft smile spread across her face. Then, her eyes grew shiny with tears. She pulled Jim into the biggest, warmest hug, right there in the kitchen. “Oh, Jim,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion, “this is the best present I could ever ask for. It’s perfect.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jim想在母亲节为母亲准备礼物，但是他没有钱。这时他发现一张报纸头版上有一则很大的广告。当地的百货公司正在赞助一场比赛。广告说可以为母亲赢得一次疯狂购物。Jim积极参加比赛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，他有了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写Jim想到了用什么当作母亲节礼物，比如参赛内容表达的对妈妈的爱。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，Jim把礼物交给了他的妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写Jim把礼物送给妈妈后，妈妈的反应，Jim的感悟。 2.续写线索：想起主意——誊写信件——表达爱——交付礼物——妈妈感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抄写：copy/transcribe ②决定：decide/determine ③打开：unfold/open 情绪类 ②紧张：nervous/stressful ②哭着：with tears/crying 【点睛】[高分句型1]Then, remembering how much his mom loved the bedtime stories, he decided to illustrate it.(运用了非谓语动词现在分词作状语) [高分句型2]He drew little pictures beside each special thing he had written.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024 学年第二学期钱塘联盟期中联考 高二年级英语学科 试题 考生须知： 1.本卷共 8 页满分 150 分，考试时间 120 分钟。 2.答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3.所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 选择题部分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B A Dutch museum has recovered an artwork that looks like two empty beer cans after a staff member accidentally threw it in the rubbish bin. The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin. The curator (馆长) Elisah van den Bergh returned from a short break and noticed the cans had disappeared. She recovered them from a bin bag just as they were about to be thrown out. Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift. “We try to surprise visitors for all the time,” she said. “We have now put the work in a more traditional place on a plinth (底座) so it can rest after its adventure.” She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic, who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties. Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. “By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,” he added. Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next. 4. Why did the mechanic throw the artwork in the rubbish bin? A. Because it stood in the way. B. Because it took much space. C. Because it looked like real trash. D. Because it looked strange in the lift. 5. What was Budding’s attitude toward the mechanic’s behavior? A. Understanding. B. Concerned. C. Critical. D. Unforgiving. 6. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 4 mean? A. Make visitors ready for surprises. B. Remind visitors of dangers. C. Warn visitors not to litter. D. Show visitors around the museum. 7. What might happen to the artwork in the future? A. It will be kept in a safe. B. It will be put in a selected place. C. It will be sent back to the lift. D. It will be placed in a traditional setting. C Most of us are aware of “Is the glass half full or half empty?” test. If you pick the former, you’re an “optimist”; otherwise, you’re a “pessimist”. It’s not a black-or-white test, but it can measure how one sees life. According to psychologist Lissy Ann Puno, most of us grow up wanting to be an optimist-a person who can see the good in any situation and can stay hopeful when facing challenges. For some people, though, life happens and they start to see the glass half-empty instead. Pessimists tend to see the wrong in every situation, and blame external factors and circumstances when things aren’t going their way. Being continuously fed with bad news and disappointments can turn optimistic children into adults that are critical of almost everything. For some, the shift becomes easier,being raised by pessimistic parents. Others still remain optimistic, thanks to a positive household growing up. “This is why developing optimism in young children is significant for their development as adults,” said Lissy Ann. If adopted at an early age, this powerful personality quality can help children grow into strong adults capable of handling life’s circumstances with confidence, courage, and hope. What parent wouldn’t want that for their children? “Children are seen as natural optimists,” Lissy Ann said. They come into this world with unbiased (无偏见的) eyes and a pure heart that hasn’t been influenced by social expectations, life experiences, severe mental shock, or authority figures yet. Whether a child grows up to be optimistic or not is part genetic and part environmental. “Childhood experiences, parent-child connection, or authority figures will all have some influence,” she said. Although optimism (or the lack of it) could be passed down genetically, it can also be taught. 8. What attitude do the people of “the half-empty glass” hold? A. Focusing more on the negative aspect. B. Holding onto hope in every challenge. C. Considering different reasons for situations. D. Measuring life based on social expectations. 9. What is mainly discussed about the shift into pessimists in Paragraph 3? A. Possible causes. B. Proper treatments. C. Obvious signs. D. Common misunderstandings. 10. Why is it important for children to be optimistic? A. It guarantees them a trouble-free life. B. It enables them to be incomparable in career. C. It makes them mentally strong in adulthood. D. It helps them meet their parents’ expectations. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Children master interpersonal skills naturally. B. Genetic factors decide how children see life. C. Optimism strengthens parent-child connection. D. Proper guidance helps raise optimistic children. D Sensory-based food education given to 3-5-year-old children in the kindergarten increases their willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, according to a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers used the sensory-based food education method Sapere, which makes use of children’s natural way of relying on all of the five senses when learning new things. In the Sapere method, children are given an active role around food, and they are encouraged to share their sensory experiences. For example, kindergartens can introduce different vegetables and fruit to children in hands-on sessions, they can involve children in baking and cooking, and they can offer children opportunities for growing their own vegetables in the kindergarten backyard. Food-related themes can also be included in books and games. “There are several different ways to do this. However, it always starts from sensory-based learning and child engagement. Doing and experiencing things together is also an important aspect,” says Kaisa Kähkönen, a researcher and nutritionist from the University of Eastern Finland. The researchers compared children in different kindergarten groups. Some were offered sensory-based food education, while others weren’t. Children were offered a snack buffet containing different vegetables and fruit to choose from, and the researchers took photos of their plates to analyse their willingness to choose and eat these food items. The findings show that sensory-based food education increased children’s willingness to choose vegetables and fruit, especially among children whose mothers have a lower educational background. On average, children of lower educated parents tend to eat less vegetables and fruit. This is how food education given in the kindergarten can help even out dietary gap between families. “Another interesting finding is that the Sapere food education method also seems to improve the eating atmosphere in kindergarten groups. This encouraged children who were picky eaters to choose a more diverse selection on their plate,” Kähkönen explains. Positive and personal food-related experiences gained in the kindergarten can help adjust dietary preferences in a direction that is beneficial for health. Dietary preferences learned in early childhood often stick with a person all the way to adolescence and adulthood. 12. What can we know about the Sapere method? A. It improves kids’ five senses. B.

Mother’s Day was coming up, and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money?” he thought. Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (疯狂购物) for her” said the ad. “This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write. “My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.” Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry (参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought. Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest. “What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt. 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。 Suddenly he had an idea. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Jim handed his present to his mom. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
