A few years ago, Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher, attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools so they could let teachers know when one of their students had a police encounter, something that could cause the student to need extra care or attention.
“I loved this idea and figured there had to be a way to make this work within my own classroom community,” Rachel said.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism (自闭症) who frequently had tough days. To support her, Rachel told the student’s mother to simply text her “handle with care” to let her know when it was going to be one of those days.
“I knew that when she texted me, it meant that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet location, not the gym for morning announcements, so that the rest of her day went smoothly,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could take advantage of it. In no time, parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s incredible act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News about the amazing system spread, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own classrooms. Printouts can be found on the Smart School House website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
“The parents just let me know it was a hard morning for their children,” Rachel said. “I don’t need to know details but parents like that know I’m keeping an extra eye on them.”
Rachel added, “Even though teachers can sometimes tell when a student is having a tough day by the way they’ re acting, these simple texts allow educators to make minor adjustments in advance that in turn make the whole day better for everyone.”
4. Why does the author write paragraph 1?
A. To show many students are mentally unhealthy.
B. To introduce the inspiration for Rachel’s system.
C. To analyze the causes of students’ health problems.
D. To emphasize parents should understand their kids.
5. How might Rachel treat the girl student with tough days?
A. By communicating with her for a long time. B. By taking her to the gym for announcements.
C. By driving her back home as soon as possible. D. By giving her some time alone in a quiet place.
6. What can we learn about Rachel’s “Handle with Care” system?
A. It is well received. B. It ends with her class.
C. It still confuses parents. D. It needs further testing.
7. What do Rachel’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Students are responsible for their own health.
B. It’s easy to tell if a student is having a tough day.
C. Educators needn’t always comfort their students.
D. The reminder of students’ emotional problems matters.
C
For humans, aging is unavoidable. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate to a point.
In a phenomenon called “neoteny”, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery structures and distinctive characteristics, but these critically endangered Mexican species also experience few physical declines and diseases, and they can regenerate their limbs, tails, and even other organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, human-bred axolotls, which are a light pink in color, are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to fight aging.
Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age.
The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, such as reducing inflammation (炎症), according to the study published on bioRxiv, a website where studies are posted without peer review. Chasing youth is a popular goal: The anti-aging market, valued at $40 billion, is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, understanding axolotl genetics could inspire medicines for regenerating cells, muscles, or maybe even arms and legs.
“It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,” says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. “If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”
The study team examined 180 axolotls from four weeks to 21 years of age. Hopefully, research on large scales is in store for future dedicated scientists.
8. What is a feature of axolotls due to “neoteny”?
A. They experience rapid aging. B. They have a higher risk of disease.
C. They maintain a young appearance. D. They undergo a few dramatic body changes.
9. Which factor of an animal can affect its epigenetic clock?
A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its habitat D. Its suffering.
10. What does James Godwin think of the study?
A. It is thorough. B. It is promising.
C. It is one-sided. D. It is misunderstood.
11. What field does the text mainly cover?
A. Diet. B. Finance. C. Psychology. D. Biology.
D
Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
12. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B To stress the high risk of space flights.
C To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
13. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
14. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
15. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.

It was the end of the school year. Mum dropped me off at the school gate and I dashed toward my classroom as usual, without being aware my German Shepherd, Baxter also jumped out of the car and followed me into the school. For fear that I might be late for Mrs. White’s class, I just ignored the strange glances and laughter all the way, thinking they had nothing to do with me, until my best friend Roy yelled anxiously, “Melisa... Baxter behind you.”
I turned around. There he was, with his tongue hanging out and tail wagging happily in the wind. I was rooted on the spot. I wasn’t supposed to bring my dog to school, but at that moment, it was just impossible to get Baxter back.
I lowered myself and tried to get Barter to come closer, but he stared at me for a while, and jumped back. He was waiting for me to take him outside for a walk. Praise is always good, even for a dog, so I said, “Baxter, good boy. Come on now.” Luckily, he ran toward me.
But I could never hide such a naughty dog under my desk. I looked at Roy helplessly, whose eyes suddenly lit up, “The closet (储存室)...”
Yes, the closet. A thrill of excitement ran through my body. There, at the end of the hallway of this building, just on this floor, there was a small unlocked closet where we could safely park Baxter. That was really a perfect idea which would free me from my dilemma.
Then, Roy and I ran desperately back into our classroom. Hardly had we settled down into our seats when Mrs. White came in, books and papers in her hand.
The class went on smoothly. Mrs. White explained some rules patiently and reminded us to take notes. I listened attentively. Then something went wrong. When Mrs. White began to write some math problems on the blackboard, quietly, a dog slid in. It was Baxter. Mrs. White turned around, frozen with shock. “Whose dog is it?”
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。
Paragraph 1:
At this time, Baxter spotted me and ran toward me excitedly.

I had thought Mrs, White wouldn’t get away with it.

A few years ago, Rachel Harder, a fourth-grade teacher, attended a trauma (精神创伤) conference. She learned that some police stations partnered with schools so they could let teachers know when one of their students had a police encounter, something that could cause the student to need extra care or attention.
“I loved this idea and figured there had to be a way to make this work within my own classroom community,” Rachel said.
A year after the conference, Rachel had a student with autism (自闭症) who frequently had tough days. To support her, Rachel told the student’s mother to simply text her “handle with care” to let her know when it was going to be one of those days.
“I knew that when she texted me, it meant that her daughter needed some extra time and a quiet location, not the gym for morning announcements, so that the rest of her day went smoothly,” Rachel said.
The simple method was such a success that Rachel decided to send all of her students home with a note for their parents. It explained what the “Handle with Care” system was and how they could take advantage of it. In no time, parents began to show their appreciation for Rachel’s incredible act of kindness.
But Rachel’s kindness didn’t end with her class. News about the amazing system spread, and teachers across the country began giving it a shot in their own classrooms. Printouts can be found on the Smart School House website, and the feedback (反馈) has been extremely positive!
“The parents just let me know it was a hard morning for their children,” Rachel said. “I don’t need to know details but parents like that know I’m keeping an extra eye on them.”
Rachel added, “Even though teachers can sometimes tell when a student is having a tough day by the way they’ re acting, these simple texts allow educators to make minor adjustments in advance that in turn make the whole day better for everyone.”
4. Why does the author write paragraph 1?
A. To show many students are mentally unhealthy.
B. To introduce the inspiration for Rachel’s system.
C. To analyze the causes of students’ health problems.
D. To emphasize parents should understand their kids.
5. How might Rachel treat the girl student with tough days?
A. By communicating with her for a long time. B. By taking her to the gym for announcements.
C. By driving her back home as soon as possible. D. By giving her some time alone in a quiet place.
6. What can we learn about Rachel’s “Handle with Care” system?
A. It is well received. B. It ends with her class.
C. It still confuses parents. D. It needs further testing.
7. What do Rachel’s words in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Students are responsible for their own health.
B. It’s easy to tell if a student is having a tough day.
C. Educators needn’t always comfort their students.
D. The reminder of students’ emotional problems matters.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D

For humans, aging is unavoidable. But axolotls (蝾螈), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame, seemingly avoid this fate to a point.
In a phenomenon called “neoteny”, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery structures and distinctive characteristics, but these critically endangered Mexican species also experience few physical declines and diseases, and they can regenerate their limbs, tails, and even other organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, human-bred axolotls, which are a light pink in color, are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to fight aging.
Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old. An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age.
The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans, such as reducing inflammation (炎症), according to the study published on bioRxiv, a website where studies are posted without peer review. Chasing youth is a popular goal: The anti-aging market, valued at $40 billion, is estimated to hit $60 billion by 2032. What’s more, understanding axolotl genetics could inspire medicines for regenerating cells, muscles, or maybe even arms and legs.
“It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,” says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. “If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”
The study team examined 180 axolotls from four weeks to 21 years of age. Hopefully, research on large scales is in store for future dedicated scientists.
8. What is a feature of axolotls due to “neoteny”?
A. They experience rapid aging. B. They have a higher risk of disease.
C. They maintain a young appearance. D. They undergo a few dramatic body changes.
9. Which factor of an animal can affect its epigenetic clock?
A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its habitat D. Its suffering.
10. What does James Godwin think of the study?
A. It is thorough. B. It is promising.
C. It is one-sided. D. It is misunderstood.
11. What field does the text mainly cover?
A. Diet. B. Finance. C. Psychology. D. Biology.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,一项研究发现蝾螈的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟,这一发现可能是人类在寻找有效的抗衰老治疗方法的长期探索中又迈出了一步。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a phenomenon called ‘neoteny’, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as adults. Not only do they look youthful(在一种被称为‘幼态持续’的现象中,蝾螈永远不会长大,成年后看起来像超大的婴儿。它们不仅看起来很年轻)”可知,由于“幼态持续”,蝾螈保持着年轻的外表,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“An epigenetic clock estimates an animal’s age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age, could be much older than its real age.(表观遗传时钟根据生活事件(如压力或饮食)如何开启和关闭基因来估计动物的年龄。例如,如果一只动物经历了很多身体和精神上的痛苦,它的表观遗传或生物年龄可能比它的实际年龄大得多)”可知,动物遭受的痛苦会影响它的表观遗传时钟,故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“‘It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,’ says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. ‘If the mechanisms can be understood, then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.’(‘这是衰老和再生方面一大飞跃。’没有参与这项新研究的缅因州MDI生物实验室的免疫学家James Godwin说。‘如果机制能够被理解,那么许多改善人类健康的机会就会出现。’)”可知,James Godwin认为这项研究可能会导致出现许多改善人类健康的机会,所以他认为这项研究很有前途,故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第三段中“Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key mechanisms of aging — the epigenetic clock (表观遗传时钟) — when they’re just four years old.(现在,一项新的研究揭示了这些奇怪生物的另一个谜团。他们的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟)”可知,文章主要讲述一项研究发现蝾螈的身体在四岁时就停止了衰老的一个关键机制——表观遗传时钟,这一发现可能是人类在寻找有效的抗衰老治疗方法的长期探索中又迈出了一步。关键词是衰老和遗传基因,所以文章涉及生物学领域,故选D。
D
Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs?
For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that?
To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.”
12. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger?
A. To express his sorrow for the loss.
B. To stress the high risk of space flights.
C. To show the result of wrong operation.
D. To give an example of overconfidence.
13. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research?
A. It urged students to gain recognition.
B. It encouraged students to take exams.
C. It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
14. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject
C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject.
15. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. Why questioning our belief is hard.
B. Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C. How to become a confident person.
D. How to practice intellectual humility.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究,通过具体研究案例,来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍,尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时,这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年,NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知,作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果,之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知,提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现,智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料,并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时,他们会调整学习策略,以提高学习表现,并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知,智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习,相应调整学习方法。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat,但在考试中被要求解释时,他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知,学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信,认为自己对该相关知识十分了解,或已经全会了,但到考场答题时,才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知,got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是,过度自信有一种“疫苗”,科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念,可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知,最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”,也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说,“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知,所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做,会在下文进行介绍,即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。

第四部分 读后续写(满分25分)
66. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the end of the school year. Mum dropped me off at the school gate and I dashed toward my classroom as usual, without being aware my German Shepherd, Baxter also jumped out of the car and followed me into the school. For fear that I might be late for Mrs. White’s class, I just ignored the strange glances and laughter all the way, thinking they had nothing to do with me, until my best friend Roy yelled anxiously, “Melisa... Baxter behind you.”
I turned around. There he was, with his tongue hanging out and tail wagging happily in the wind. I was rooted on the spot. I wasn’t supposed to bring my dog to school, but at that moment, it was just impossible to get Baxter back.
I lowered myself and tried to get Barter to come closer, but he stared at me for a while, and jumped back. He was waiting for me to take him outside for a walk. Praise is always good, even for a dog, so I said, “Baxter, good boy. Come on now.” Luckily, he ran toward me.
But I could never hide such a naughty dog under my desk. I looked at Roy helplessly, whose eyes suddenly lit up, “The closet (储存室)...”
Yes, the closet. A thrill of excitement ran through my body. There, at the end of the hallway of this building, just on this floor, there was a small unlocked closet where we could safely park Baxter. That was really a perfect idea which would free me from my dilemma.
Then, Roy and I ran desperately back into our classroom. Hardly had we settled down into our seats when Mrs. White came in, books and papers in her hand.
The class went on smoothly. Mrs. White explained some rules patiently and reminded us to take notes. I listened attentively. Then something went wrong. When Mrs. White began to write some math problems on the blackboard, quietly, a dog slid in. It was Baxter. Mrs. White turned around, frozen with shock. “Whose dog is it?”

Paragraph 2:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
At this time, Baxter spotted me and ran toward me excitedly. He announced silently to all that I was his owner. With my heart racing and my face burning, I could see, from the comer of my eyes, some of my classmates looked at me sympathetically. I reminded myself to breathe as I stood up, with sweat streaming down the back of my neck, and said, “Sorry.” I explained nervously, choking with shame and tears. Baxter sensed my anxiety and began to bark. I tried desperately to calm him down.
Paragraph 2:
I had thought Mrs. White wouldn’t let me get away with it. However, Mrs. White didn’t scold me. Instead, she suggested I keep Baxter in her office for a while. She also lent me her cell phone, so that I could call my mother asking her to pick Baxter up. Because of my teacher’s kindness, the accident turned into an amusing incident. After the class, I made an apology again to Mrs. White but she just patted me softly saying, “It’s OK.” It was the first time I had felt my teacher was such a gentle woman.
