A
(2025·重庆模拟预测)Sunlight was cutting through the classroom, and it was close to lunchtime, with everyone feeling bored.This was in the sickening final weeks before the Leaving Cert., the state exams every Irish teenager has to sit if they want to go to university.
With the Leaving Cert, we’d ever felt more unhappily involved in the faceless machinery of education.Our only objective for an entire year had been to memorize as much information as possible, in order to bring it back in one exam after another.Our teacher’s only objective was to drill all that information and rote (死记硬背) learning into us.
And it was just another day of that, when it happened.I don’t know why, but the teacher suddenly broke off what he was saying and considered us for a moment.He leaned against his desk, folded his arms, and then he went off without referring to his prepared notes.
He spoke about how we were going to leave school soon, and head into the world, separately, for ever.He said we wouldn’t be able to grasp it yet, but our horizons were about to expand in ways we wouldn’t believe.I know it sounds cheesy — it probably was cheesy — but for the teenage me it was something quite new and surprising to hear an adult address us like this, not as kids to whom he needed to feed information, but as humans with whom he wanted to share something like wisdom.
What stayed with me was the image he used: he said our awareness would be like a flame (火焰) in a dark cave.The brighter and larger the flame grew, the more of the cave we would see.But with every bit of light, there would come a growing awareness of the vastness of the cave, of just how little of it we were actually seeing, and of how much more space and opportunity was left for our flame to grow.

(2025·肇庆模拟)One of the biggest challenges that traditional educators face is how to unlock students’ love of learning.Once students overcome their fear or unwillingness, they will be on the track of becoming motivated learners.
In order to help students discover the joy in learning, some teachers are turning to a simple but effective strategy called gamification-using game-related elements such as activities and rewards to promote students’ engagement in class.With an origin in educational psychology, this approach is designed to reach students by making the learning process funny and interesting.
What’s more, researches show that gamification can also make assignments less stressful.Without too much pressure, students will associate learning with curiosity and joy.Accordingly, they feel like continuing the journey because positive feelings have boosted their confidence.
But like any other strategies, gamification has its drawbacks when used incorrectly.It is very likely that some students only focus on winning rewards but have no interest in understanding concepts or learning new skills — exactly the opposite of the desired outcome.To avoid this, teachers can help prevent students from becoming wrongly motivated by choosing suitable rewards.Instead of class parties or snacks, try rewards that help students develop a passion for academic subjects.
For example, have students earn points towards a class field trip by behaving and doing their assignments, or pair subjects that a student dislikes with fun books or activities to encourage motivation.That way, they associate fun with reading, math, or other skills.More examples include competing on a leader-board, holding a talent show, or playing other team-building games.All activities and rewards need to be carefully selected and well arranged.
If you’re having a hard time getting your class interested in learning, talk with them together or individually about what motivates them and include it into your student engagement strategies.
5.What can we learn about gamification from the first two paragraphs?
A.It improves students’ critical thinking.
B.It advocates a traditional teaching style.
C.It motivates students to be active learners.
D.It promotes the use of video games in class.
6.What is the author’s attitude to the application of gamification?
A.Favorable. B.Worried.
C.Doubtful. D.Objective.
7.How should teachers avoid the drawbacks of gamification?
A.Set learning goals for different students.
B.Associate learning process with assignments.
C.Encourage teamwork by holding class parties.
D.Select suitable rewards for teaching activities.
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.The analysis of a teaching strategy.
B.The future influences of gamification.
C.A discovery about motivating learners.
D.Recent research on education system.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·绍兴模拟)Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful, scary but exciting. 9
Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week.Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors.Then I was starting to get convinced that there was something wrong with me. 10 Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why the friendships I had forced did not work out.It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. 11
So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time — to understand your school, your course, and your new rhythm of life.Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in.
12 Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe — to discover amazing cultures, new accents, and new ways of matching your clothes — but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in order to become.
Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really quickly. 13 Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or joining the dance troupe.
So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will contribute to your CV.
A.It is a big turn on the pages of your life.
B.Extra-curricular activities build confidence.
C.I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.
D.It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people.
E.That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.
F.While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.
G.Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.
